SPEAKER_02
I m one of the six east men in America.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, but you don t need a one to 10, I don t know.

SPEAKER_02
Get your shades on.
0
SPEAKER_02
Catan is a brilliant comedian.
0
SPEAKER_02
He did a great job on that show.
0
SPEAKER_01
His physicality with Mr. Peepers, it sounds funny, but as good as it gets, his commitment, brilliant.
0
SPEAKER_01
Who do you play, Mango?
0
SPEAKER_02
I played Kiwi on one of the ones when I hosted.
0
SPEAKER_02
He played Mango, and we had a fight.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s pretty funny.
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, yeah, Mango is... I know, it s such a quirky character, but we talk all about that.
0
SPEAKER_01
We talk about Mr. Peepers, and we do get into how he got injured with all this throwing himself around the set.
0
SPEAKER_01
A lot of people have gotten some pain from that.
0
SPEAKER_01
Did you ever hurt yourself, fall backwards or anything?
0
SPEAKER_02
Going to catering once, I slipped on a ham.
0
SPEAKER_02
Somebody put some peas in there.
0
SPEAKER_01
Lauren, have you catering even in your third season?
0
SPEAKER_01
David, if you don t... All the hot dogs are on one tray.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s not rocket science.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s so simple.
0
SPEAKER_02
If you have time, I m going to cut your update to give you a little more time.
0
SPEAKER_02
So, yeah, he also talks about Will Ferrell and all this stuff they did together.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then he s on Dancing with the Stars.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, and just is a really nice guy.
0
SPEAKER_01
Packed full of action stuff.

SPEAKER_01
So I hope you do too, I really do.
0
SPEAKER_02
All right, Chris Kattan.
0
SPEAKER_01
Is that better?
0
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_02
Great.
0
SPEAKER_02
You know what the bad news is?
0
SPEAKER_02
Sorry about that technology.
0
SPEAKER_02
We re out of time.
0
SPEAKER_01
No, it s fine.
0
SPEAKER_01
How would Mango deal with this?
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what the Frick, what the Frick.
0
SPEAKER_02
Hey, Dana, you know, I did a mango.
0
SPEAKER_02
Chris, do you remember?
0
SPEAKER_02
I do remember that.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are we starting now?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I do remember that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was Kiwi, your archenemy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you re a Kiwi.
0
SPEAKER_00
And you got your buddy Chris Rock to be in it, too, as well, which was very nice of you.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh, did he?
0
SPEAKER_00
What did he do?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, he did.
0
SPEAKER_00
He did a little cameo.
0
SPEAKER_00
He was just like, you know, at the door saying,
0
SPEAKER_00
Mango, can I, I want you or something.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_02
That was his read.
0
SPEAKER_02
Mango.
0
SPEAKER_02
I want something like that.
0
SPEAKER_02
I want you.
0
SPEAKER_02
You know, it s funny.
0
SPEAKER_02
I saw him on the show with someone about two weeks ago and then about a month ago.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I go, rock, you re actually on the show more now than when you were a cast member.
0
SPEAKER_02
I know.
0
SPEAKER_02
And he, and he hangs out a lot too.
0
SPEAKER_02
Right?
0
SPEAKER_02
He just goes there.
0
SPEAKER_02
Why not?
0
SPEAKER_02
It s like a club.
0
SPEAKER_02
I know.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s kind of cool.
0
SPEAKER_02
That is cool.
0
SPEAKER_02
If I wasn t hosting and I was in New York, I ve only been there once.
0
SPEAKER_02
I was actually, well, the 40th, but that doesn t.
0
SPEAKER_01
Do you like going down the hallway and seeing pictures of yourself from 40 years ago doing a sketch?
0
SPEAKER_01
I have a difficult time trying to find them.
0
SPEAKER_00
You re like, where s the Catan section?
0
SPEAKER_00
Is there any pictures of me on this wall?
0
SPEAKER_01
If you look at Anna Gasteyer s ones, you take them off and then we see you.
0
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have no idea.
0
SPEAKER_00
Get out of here.
0
SPEAKER_00
You re an all-star.
0
SPEAKER_00
I do remember that though.
0
SPEAKER_00
Remember, I don t know if you ever felt this, but,
0
SPEAKER_00
There was something about being on that show and being like,
0
SPEAKER_00
Is there a picture of me outside of Lauren s office?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, as if that meant something, like, oh, look, there s a picture of me in this sketch, and it s outside of Lauren s office.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, that s something special.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_02
You know what?
0
SPEAKER_02
That right.
0
SPEAKER_02
When you go up the stairs to people listening, eighth floor is where you shoot the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
If you walk up the stairs, ninth floor, it s also the balcony of the audience where you can watch, and it s also Lauren s office, and that s where they pick the sketches.
0
SPEAKER_02
on the air night.
0
SPEAKER_02
And if you walk up those steps and you re walking Lauren s door, there s a secret door you can go in.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s right.
0
SPEAKER_02
But there s framed photos.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I would always like to be on one of those because the host would see it and then they would go, oh, that guy s on the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
He must be something.
0
SPEAKER_02
but there weren t any of me.
0
SPEAKER_01
We re all wounded little clowns.
0
SPEAKER_02
They were all of Dana.
0
SPEAKER_01
Everybody gets into that.
0
SPEAKER_01
Where s my photo?
0
SPEAKER_02
Where is it?
0
SPEAKER_02
Why not me, me, me?
0
SPEAKER_01
I would get very relaxed when I would see Lorne on a show day.
0
SPEAKER_01
He d have a tall foot long glass.
0
SPEAKER_01
He d take an Amstel Light.
0
SPEAKER_00
Amstel Light, I remember that.
0
SPEAKER_01
Which is like 2% alcohol, whatever.
0
SPEAKER_01
And then he would do that long pour.
0
SPEAKER_01
And you re like, God, we have a show today.
0
SPEAKER_01
He s pretty relaxed.
0
SPEAKER_01
I guess we re in good shape.
0
SPEAKER_02
Sometimes I d have a drink with him watching the monitors underneath the bleachers because I had nothing to do in the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
You guys are so self-deprecating about this.
0
SPEAKER_02
Hey, Lauren, can I get an Amstel?
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t think I sat with him in that, like, in a way of being, you know, relaxed with him.
0
SPEAKER_00
I remember just being in there to get notes.
0
SPEAKER_00
But his notes were going through whomever was there at the time, like,
0
SPEAKER_00
someone like Lyle or I don t know, someone was giving the notes to me through, Lorne was telling her the notes and then she was telling me the notes.
0
SPEAKER_02
And you were one foot away.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what?
0
SPEAKER_02
I like that.
0
SPEAKER_02
I forgot about under the bleachers, there s a monitor and Lorne watches the show and then he says what he s thinking during dress and Lyle and someone write him down, maybe Aaron.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then Aaron Moroney.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then they go, I remember he goes too much blue.
0
SPEAKER_02
All right, what s he doing here?
0
SPEAKER_02
We don t need that entrance.
0
SPEAKER_02
Why do I see that trophy?
0
SPEAKER_02
Bring Keith in here.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s not a Chardonnay.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s more the color of a Pinot Noir.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Why are these shorts too tight?
0
SPEAKER_00
I can see Catan s balls.
0
SPEAKER_02
Why are the testicles so wide?
0
SPEAKER_02
Why is one lumpier than the other?
0
SPEAKER_02
How old is he?
0
SPEAKER_02
I forgot.
0
SPEAKER_02
How old is Catan?
0
SPEAKER_01
Can he be younger?
0
SPEAKER_01
Catan is Catan.
0
SPEAKER_01
Isn t that what he is?
0
SPEAKER_00
Isn t that what he is?
0
SPEAKER_00
Isn t he a full sentence, Chris Catan?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like a little boy.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, Spade, do you remember when I first got on the show, I was, well, put in your office or shared an office with you.
0
SPEAKER_00
And remember that you and I and you think we re.
0
SPEAKER_02
Oh, Fink was in the.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Ninety six.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t remember that that much because I thought they sequestered me and you away from everyone because I didn t do many sketches.
0
SPEAKER_02
That was a year, Dana.
0
SPEAKER_02
I stayed one year, maybe too long.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I mean, you weren t there too long.
0
SPEAKER_02
Lauren goes, if you stay.
0
SPEAKER_02
Do five minutes a week.
0
SPEAKER_02
You can do whatever you want.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was so excited to be seeing you because I was like a huge, I m still a huge fan, but at that point I was like, I m really a huge, like, I loved your Tom Petty.
0
SPEAKER_00
I loved your like, I was like, Oh my God.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was telling my mom, I m like, I m sharing an office estate.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s crazy.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, I was so like, and you were totally relaxed, of course, you know, you were so dry and like, uh, I feel David, you re too relaxed.
0
SPEAKER_02
No, I, I, that was a way when I got there, you just see people that have been on.
0
SPEAKER_02
So it s fun to say, Oh, I m with people that are actually on.
0
SPEAKER_02
They been through the fucking grind.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s like saving private Ryan and you re the new guy.
0
SPEAKER_02
And they re like already in the middle of their hike.
1
SPEAKER_02
and you re like, hey, I m new.
1
SPEAKER_02
And they re like, get in line, we re going in.
1
SPEAKER_02
You re like, we re already?
1
SPEAKER_02
I don t know anything yet.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re all grizzled vets.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t know what was happening, but I just stuck with, well, Lorne was helpful.
1
SPEAKER_00
He was just telling, well, he told Shoemaker to tell, you know, say that, why don t you try out the gibberish guy?
1
SPEAKER_00
So that s what I did the first week that I was on.
1
SPEAKER_00
Was that your first sketch?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it was the Schultz Forester that, you know,
1
SPEAKER_00
But, uh, they, uh, you know, they asked me to do that thing because I had no idea what to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Otherwise I was like sitting in front of a computer and not
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn t know what to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was like six weeks before the end of the season.
1
SPEAKER_02
Putting diarrhea in your pants?
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you know, oh, you came in mid-season?
1
SPEAKER_00
Actually, six weeks before the end of the season, which is after mid-season.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I came in four weeks before the end.
1
SPEAKER_02
I know that s definitely weird because it s already going, it s already happening, and no one s got time for you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I was really excited to be in the same office with you.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was like freaking out.
1
SPEAKER_01
What did you bring from the groundlings?
1
SPEAKER_01
Or like, you know, they d say have some stuff in your back pocket.
1
SPEAKER_01
Was the gibberish guy one of those?
1
SPEAKER_00
Sul Forrester, Mr. Peepers, and Mr. Peepers the monkey.
1
SPEAKER_00
thing, which which was made.
1
SPEAKER_00
Thank you very much.
1
SPEAKER_00
Please hold up.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, I want to talk about Mr. Peepers, because I go by like when I watch the show and something is kind of supernatural, like I ve never seen before.
1
SPEAKER_01
It never gets out of my brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that that one was like, wow, this is so different.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s so cool.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And weird.
1
SPEAKER_00
Was that the eat the apple?
1
SPEAKER_00
That s where I eat the apple.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then I try hump somebody.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, but to turn yourself in into a monkey, a human like animal.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m yeah, I m a, you know, half man, half monkey.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that s what that s what he was in your utilities.
1
SPEAKER_01
Literally a hybrid half man, half monkey.
1
SPEAKER_02
Basically, yeah, I was there for a read through the first time.
1
SPEAKER_02
Mr. Peepers, Catan walks out half man, half monkey.
1
SPEAKER_01
wearing his apple takes a bite.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then I got on the table to like, I have to show that I can do this physically.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, no, you got on the table and read through in front of 60 people.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, people were not very happy about that.
1
SPEAKER_02
Cause you re getting apple shillings on everyone.
1
SPEAKER_02
All over everybody.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, don t get juice.
1
SPEAKER_00
Really?
1
SPEAKER_00
I got on there.
1
SPEAKER_00
I got like, even jumped on the main table, the table.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then at one point I went to the window, like behind Lauren and jumped off there.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I even remember Pete and Piedmont, Piedmont was like, Jesus Catan!
1
SPEAKER_00
Who was the host, do you remember?
1
SPEAKER_01
Jesus Catan!
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
Probably like Charlize Theron.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think it s Charlize Theron.
1
SPEAKER_02
Do you remember, Dana, I wasn t there, but a story where Ben Stiller, Dolly Parton was the host and he- I was there.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
What happened?
1
SPEAKER_02
He did U2 or something?
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, Ben stayed up all night working on a U2 sketch.
1
SPEAKER_01
I was The Edge, he was Bono.
1
SPEAKER_01
And Ben decided we would all get up in the read-through room with the 60 people and put on like a sketch.
1
SPEAKER_01
But Ben had a loose vest on with no...
1
SPEAKER_01
No shirt underneath.
1
SPEAKER_01
And Bennett stayed up all night and had not showered.
1
SPEAKER_01
And he put Dolly Parton right up against him.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was it was interesting for Ben.
1
SPEAKER_00
She has like double D. Well, I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
Why are we talking about that?
1
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, that must have been interesting.
1
SPEAKER_02
So I think everyone knows Dolly Parton has big boobs.
1
SPEAKER_01
When Dolly did the show where I m on the soundstage with Phil and John and she goes, OK, boys, I ll look away so you can look at him.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m going to look away now.
1
SPEAKER_01
Is that what she said?
1
SPEAKER_00
Look all you want and get a good look.
1
SPEAKER_00
I remember seeing 9 to 5 as a kid and I was like, ugh.
1
SPEAKER_00
I love nine to five, nine to five.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Remember that movie with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda?
1
SPEAKER_00
Hell yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
I remember her.
1
SPEAKER_01
That was great.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, so how long were you at Groundlings anyway?
1
SPEAKER_01
How long of stay and your dad was the beginning.
1
SPEAKER_01
He started it with people basically, which is amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
One of the founders.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
So he was in the, the, you know, the main, or it wasn t a Sunday show then.
1
SPEAKER_00
So yeah, he was one of the main, uh,
1
SPEAKER_00
He s he was a cast member, original ones with Paul Rubens.
1
SPEAKER_00
And, you know.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, wow.
1
SPEAKER_01
The apple doesn t fall too far from the tree.
1
SPEAKER_00
But he yeah, so he was there.
1
SPEAKER_00
He he I m trying to think who else?
1
SPEAKER_00
Lauren Newman and, you know, those.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, wow.
1
SPEAKER_00
That cast, I think.
1
SPEAKER_00
And.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s what inspired me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he s passed away, but he did all the sticky stuff.
1
SPEAKER_00
He was actually in a class that Jerry Lewis taught once in the 50s.
1
SPEAKER_01
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_01
So your dad is doing all this and then you re a little kid and so you re being exposed to comedy.
1
SPEAKER_01
constantly as a little kid.
1
SPEAKER_00
He watched a lot of old movies.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you guys probably had the same thing.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, you were educated someplace, somewhere of some sort of inspiration.
1
SPEAKER_00
And no, he was what inspired me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what what inspired you, Dana.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you must have like, were you in the doing to the mirror kind of thing alone in a jail cell?
1
SPEAKER_01
It was there were five kids.
1
SPEAKER_01
Four boys, five kids, and yeah, I kind of had a dream of it like by the time I was eight, nine, or ten, of just being one of those guys on TV.
1
SPEAKER_01
I didn t think movies or even Saturday Night Live.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was just Danny Kaye or, you know, I don t know, Smothers Brothers.
1
SPEAKER_01
So I had a secret dream, but I went into cross country and track.
1
SPEAKER_01
I never took theater.
1
SPEAKER_01
I was a bus boy, then a waiter.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I finally got on Courage and had years of stage fright, like little physical manifestations of trying to do stand up.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that s how I got into it.
1
SPEAKER_01
But my dad was a high school teacher and my mom was a preschool teacher.
1
SPEAKER_01
But it s interesting to have a dad who specifically, yes, is a comedy sketch
1
SPEAKER_02
Well, it s probably high pressure because they judge, you think they re judging, are you any good?
1
SPEAKER_02
And you re probably not that good.
1
SPEAKER_02
My dad was kind of funny, like dads are.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so I m trying to make him laugh and my comedy sort of gets shaped by what he thinks is funny.
1
SPEAKER_02
But he took me to Young Frankenstein and he took me to some movies that he thought was funny and it kind of,
1
SPEAKER_02
made me go, oh, is that, you know, you re going to be a student of your dad s comedy in a weird way indirectly.
1
SPEAKER_02
What he laughs at, he watched MASH.
1
SPEAKER_02
That was kind of dry.
1
SPEAKER_02
I like that.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so that actually helped.
1
SPEAKER_02
If he was a super cornball, it might have thrown me.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, you taught me about, I mean, you kind of like, it reduced me to dry humor.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, there was other dry comedians, but you, Spade, were like,
1
SPEAKER_00
the shit.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you were like, wow, you just totally stamped sarcasm on television, like to the ultimate level.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it was like really cool to see.
1
SPEAKER_00
I remember that because I was like brought up like,
1
SPEAKER_00
Uh, my dad would show me older things, like old Hollywood, you know, like the Chaplin, the Keaton and the Marx Brothers, not a lot of physicality.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
But also banter like bits, you know, Marx Brothers.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, but older Hollywood, too, like black and white, you know, stuff in the 40s and the 50s.
1
SPEAKER_00
that stuff.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I love, yeah, I love the team stuff, stuff between one person and another.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I thought connection and that kind of thing was really cool to see.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that s what
1
SPEAKER_00
really inspired me too.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like you had that with Farley too.
1
SPEAKER_00
And, uh, you know, that was really cool to see.
1
SPEAKER_02
You know, it s funny.
1
SPEAKER_02
I was thinking of Farley the other day, cause one time I know you have sort of, we both have neck troubles sometimes.
1
SPEAKER_02
I think yours pretty bad too.
1
SPEAKER_02
Uh, yours is probably worse at this point, uh, to be honest.
1
SPEAKER_02
Um, but I was doing a motivational speaker.
1
SPEAKER_02
Maybe yours is better.
1
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_02
I m not saying that to be negative.
1
SPEAKER_02
I m just saying, I know you ve had some trouble.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, no, I know.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I did a motivational speaker and he picked me up and he dropped me like backwards through a table and it fucking hurt.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I rolled off and he goes, you acted like you were hurt at the end, it ruined it.
1
SPEAKER_02
I go, we re already a commercial and it did hurt.
1
SPEAKER_02
I had a thousand pound ox fall on me.
1
SPEAKER_01
You don t want Chris Farley throwing you around.
1
SPEAKER_01
Can we do some jokes?
1
SPEAKER_01
Do I have to be?
1
SPEAKER_02
Anyway, it was funny that then I got up and I was like, ow, but my neck had been bad the whole time.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
I separated my shoulder.
1
SPEAKER_01
It bothers me to this day, but it s very functional on SNL.
1
SPEAKER_01
I really was stupid to do it.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was over in Ottoman doing like a Dick Van Dyke type thing, but I was Dan Quayle.
1
SPEAKER_01
Just went over and crunched it.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t know, my childhood was pretty rough.
1
SPEAKER_01
I did like two more.
1
SPEAKER_01
Then I was walking around with my shoulder up and
2
SPEAKER_01
Mary Tyler Moore was the host and her husband was there.
2
SPEAKER_01
He s a doctor who goes, and I think you separated your shoulder.
2
SPEAKER_01
So, but it was non-surgical and the next night I had to do all these quick changes.
2
SPEAKER_01
But anyway, you know, you get hurt in show business.
2
SPEAKER_01
Did they pop it in?
2
SPEAKER_01
No, they didn t pop it in.
2
SPEAKER_01
It s got, I got a bump, but I work it a lot.
2
SPEAKER_01
I keep it loose.
2
SPEAKER_01
I broke my ankle on a Sandler movie too, but that s fine.
2
SPEAKER_01
We don t want Sandler listening to this going, I can t do Sandler.
2
SPEAKER_02
Were you, uh, I, I got to a place where I was like, you know, used to the pain, but I like a trooper, like a, you know, a football guy, you know, I was like, I just got to keep going, got to go with it, you know, and the rest of the pain.
2
SPEAKER_02
And I tell somebody, you know, and like, I don t want to, I did tell somebody, but I was just still like embarrassed by it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Well, it s also what you don t want instinctually.
2
SPEAKER_01
Cause I had the bypass when I was 42, you don t want,
2
SPEAKER_01
Some people like to be pitied.
2
SPEAKER_01
I find it an uncomfortable emotion of this sort of like, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, Chris.
2
SPEAKER_00
Right.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I, I, I do understand the idea of like, let s just not make this become my trademark or how people see me.
2
SPEAKER_01
And so for years I had that.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Do you feel okay today?
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, that well intended people, by the way, but you know, I do that when I m on a movie and they go spades got a bad neck.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then by the time,
2
SPEAKER_00
it gets around the crew.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re like, you have to go up on this step of this ladder.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s about six inches up.
2
SPEAKER_00
Do you need help?
2
SPEAKER_00
Should we get your guy in here to do it?
2
SPEAKER_00
And I go, I can step up a step.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, you don t have to do anything.
2
SPEAKER_00
We ll bring your stuntman in.
2
SPEAKER_00
We ll bring him in for the day.
2
SPEAKER_00
My stuntman was literally in the wings at all times, smoking, going, I think I should do this one.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m like, it s just shaking hands with somebody.
2
SPEAKER_00
He s like, you know, we don t need you to throw your shoulder out because you re the biggest pussy in America.
2
SPEAKER_00
Did your stunt man look like you?
2
SPEAKER_00
He sort of does.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think I still have the same one.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think I m starting to look older than them so much.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have to get a new one.
2
SPEAKER_00
It gets older and older with me.
2
SPEAKER_00
But we had a good one and they love doing stunts, man.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s so funny on movies.
2
SPEAKER_00
I didn t realize until later they get paid per stunt.
2
SPEAKER_00
If they look at the monitor and everyone goes, I liked it.
2
SPEAKER_00
You want to do it again?
2
SPEAKER_00
They go, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I go, oh, he wants to do it again.
2
SPEAKER_00
And the stunt man once said, the head of it goes, coordinator goes, he s never going to say no.
2
SPEAKER_00
He gets paid every time.
2
SPEAKER_00
So he ll break his neck.
2
SPEAKER_00
He doesn t care.
2
SPEAKER_00
He just has to keep doing it.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I said, oh, let s not put him through it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But it s like bike wipeouts are falling off a cliff.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you go, they love it.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re good at it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
They re good.
2
SPEAKER_01
Sometimes they love it.
2
SPEAKER_01
I ve got to say, I don t know if they love it, but tough job.
2
SPEAKER_01
I had a guy tap out.
2
SPEAKER_01
I had a stunt guy had to go into a big barrel of ice cold goo, like submerged six feet under.
2
SPEAKER_01
So you couldn t see or hear.
2
SPEAKER_01
Every orifice was full.
2
SPEAKER_01
And he literally came up and he d done other stunts.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then he kind of had a panic attack.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I was with Anthony Hopkins, so I had to go get in the goo and that s where my childhood kicked in.
2
SPEAKER_01
I didn t like it, but fuck it, I ll just do it, you know?
2
SPEAKER_02
Doesn t Anthony Hopkins do his own stunts?
2
SPEAKER_02
That s what I hear.
2
SPEAKER_01
Are you talking about Tony?
2
SPEAKER_01
oh gross uh anthony hopkins and i i call him tone yeah i called him hoppy by the end but we re not it s not a competition listen i uh we bonded over our mutual uh crazy fathers and then the last day of shooting he goes he kind of sounded like rob williams he s so uh charismatic just
2
SPEAKER_01

2
SPEAKER_01
Oh, do you want to come in my trailer for lunch?
2
SPEAKER_01
So I m like, yeah, that d be great.
2
SPEAKER_01
But then a woman from entertainment tonight was there and says, well, you re scheduled to do this interview.
2
SPEAKER_01
And she started crying.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I cancel it.
2
SPEAKER_01
Then his assistant, it was the last day of shooting.
2
SPEAKER_01
She said that was the first time Tony ever invited someone into his trailer.
2
SPEAKER_01
And you fucked him over.
2
SPEAKER_01
But my Entertainment Tonight segment, apparently it was great.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it s great.
2
SPEAKER_01
I m going to look that up.
2
SPEAKER_01
Regrets.
2
SPEAKER_01
But I love the entertainment tonight.

2
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s really later that later days.
2
SPEAKER_01
No.
2
SPEAKER_01
Can you give me a can you even tell me a little bit of how he talked?
2
SPEAKER_01
We just want to see what the sense or probably the algorithm will shut it down.
2
SPEAKER_01
The algorithm will shut it down if it s.
2
SPEAKER_01
Well, picture a picture of some child talking this off.
2
SPEAKER_00
Docking softly, that s it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you did on the show, I think you did it, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I did.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that s so funny.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then right now- I love that you brought that up of all characters.
2
SPEAKER_01
Well, I did Ching Chang.
2
SPEAKER_01
If they ever find that, I m done.
2
SPEAKER_01
Sorry, go ahead.
2
SPEAKER_00
No, but they, because we were thinking that there s a lot of stuff where you do something on the show back then.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I asked Timmy Meadows, could you play a woman now on the show?
2
SPEAKER_00
And he said, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
So like, could you play a Mexican American on a show?
2
SPEAKER_00
today and I don t know if they d let you do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Uh, probably not.
2
SPEAKER_02
I did an Antonio Banderas and I don t think that was a, that was, I don t know if I could do Antonio Banderas now, but I, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_01
Um, I do sometimes for fun if I m doing standup, I love to do Al Pacino from Scarface, but the way I set it up, I go, I m doing Al Pacino s really bizarre Cuban accent.
2
SPEAKER_01
Blame Al Pacino.
2
SPEAKER_01
Well, I say it s one of my favorite performances, but it s it s so abstracted, you know, say goodbye to the bad guy.
2
SPEAKER_01
But still, I don t know when I might be cancelable.
2
SPEAKER_01
But, you know, I definitely am down to Western Europe, pretty much Scandinavian accents.
2
SPEAKER_01
Right.
2
SPEAKER_01
But other the rest of the world is off based Australian.
2
SPEAKER_01
We can still do Australian.
2
SPEAKER_01
You could do a cowboy, can t you?
2
SPEAKER_01
Just a, what, I mean, just a cowboy, like John Wayne or something?
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Well, come on, Catan.
2
SPEAKER_02
I just love that you re still doing great impressions, even though you re not on SNL anymore.
2
SPEAKER_02
I mean, you know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_02
Like, just like, you re so good at it, but you re still aware.
2
SPEAKER_02
And you re like, you re so good at impress.
2
SPEAKER_02
I used to like go out with this girl and she was like obsessed with you.
2
SPEAKER_02
And we were like, I then became obsessed with you because of your characters.
2
SPEAKER_02
It was like, what is he going to be in a cold opening?
2
SPEAKER_02
What s the cold opening?
2
SPEAKER_02
Is he going to be in cold opening?
2
SPEAKER_02
You know, it was all like, you know, and you had this, you know, you were doing cold openings for years.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, I ve seen him do stand up.
2
SPEAKER_00
Actually, Dana, the guy that booked me.
2
SPEAKER_00
at this thing this weekend, he goes, I booked Dana and Don Henley at that gig that I came to.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
And Dana kills.
2
SPEAKER_00
He does these private functions.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes we all, I mean, Chris too, we all do these private things and no one sees him.
2
SPEAKER_00
Totally.
2
SPEAKER_00
But Dana goes out there and has 18 different presidents and he does all these impressions and it fucking kills.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then I go up there and I go, hey, dogs are funny.
2
SPEAKER_00
And everyone s like, dogs, what is he talking about?
2
SPEAKER_00
They don t relate to me at all.
2
SPEAKER_01
Well, it s basically, and I,
2
SPEAKER_01
doing sketches as a stand up.
2
SPEAKER_01
So when it works, it works.
2
SPEAKER_01
But in a big room and if you have great jokes like Dennis Miller or you, they will carry over.
2
SPEAKER_01
I mean, Chris and I did one of the weirdest gigs in in Laughlin, Nevada, and it was like breaking light in the afternoon with sun in your eyes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, you guys, I love it.
2
SPEAKER_01
A giant 3000 seater with maybe 100 people and wind.
2
SPEAKER_01
You know, and I m going, this is just impossible.
2
SPEAKER_01
And I m kind of doing these little characters, you know, and it s like, you know, but but thank you, Chris.
2
SPEAKER_01
That s very nice.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_02
Well, that s what was happening.
2
SPEAKER_02
It s not like me.
2
SPEAKER_02
It s like that s what was going on in comedy.
2
SPEAKER_00
Hey, Chris, I have a question.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s not about you.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_00
That crummy gig you just did with Dana.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is about, by the way, that s the gig I probably auditioned for and didn t get.
2
SPEAKER_00
You auditioned for stand-up?
2
SPEAKER_00
I auditioned for your guys  stand-up over there.
2
SPEAKER_01
David s new nickname is self-deprecating.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s a character.
2
SPEAKER_00
No, I did gigs this weekend.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know when this will air, probably in 2028, but I did a gig this weekend.
2
SPEAKER_00
And there s so many different types of corporate gigs that are so funny to do because most of them are hard.
2
SPEAKER_00
Most of them you do medium at best.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s very hard to kill.
2
SPEAKER_00
because you re usually going on in between the cordon bleu and the people are eating and clanking.
2
SPEAKER_00
And they re almost, you feel like they were told right before, do not connect eyes with the comedian.
2
SPEAKER_00
Always look away and talk about something else while he s on stage.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because you re on stage going, are they out of your fucking mind?
2
SPEAKER_00
They re like, they re all chuffing in the background and you go,
2
SPEAKER_00
How it s so funny.
2
SPEAKER_00
But anyway, I did a gun.
2
SPEAKER_01
I did a gun show once.
2
SPEAKER_01
They all got these big stakes.
2
SPEAKER_01
It was in Reno.
2
SPEAKER_01
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the comedy shenanigans of Dana Florfo.
2
SPEAKER_01
And they just they just have the fork and knife.
2
SPEAKER_01
Their elbows are way out.
2
SPEAKER_01
Their backs are to me.
2
SPEAKER_01
And they re just chowing down.
2
SPEAKER_01
Every once in a while, they would look over their neck and kind of nod a little bit.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re like, why is this guy so noisy behind me?
2
SPEAKER_01
I guess so.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then it was like it was I don t know, he s in Colorado and it was there was an elevation situation.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, you know, when people were drinking, that one drink is equivalent to like three drinks.
3
SPEAKER_00
So everybody was wasted.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Awesome.
3
SPEAKER_00
They were just like and there was one girl in the front row was like, yeah, he s arguing with a boyfriend while I was like, no, you don t.
3
SPEAKER_00
You tell him I m not going to say anything.
3
SPEAKER_00
How about you?
3
SPEAKER_00
No.
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, it was like, am I involved in something that I just how can I be involved in something that I m not?
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t even know who you are.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was thinking that, but, you know, they re like, no, I m not going to say you can t do it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And but it gave me probably, you know, it gave me some material.
3
SPEAKER_00
By the way, did you do a commercial?
3
SPEAKER_03
Was it the what is love?
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
And that was a commercial with the Super Bowl.
3
SPEAKER_03
It was a Super Bowl.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, nice.
3
SPEAKER_03
Those are nice.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, that was fun.
3
SPEAKER_03
And it was other people doing it right to it.
3
SPEAKER_00
It was, yes, it was, oh God, what was her name?
3
SPEAKER_00
Missy Elliott and somebody else.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then they said, oh, this is a really big budget.
3
SPEAKER_00
So they literally went to other countries to see people bop their heads.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, that s good.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like that, like people in Japan, you know, or penguins in Alaska were bopping their heads.
3
SPEAKER_03
Penguins are expensive.
3
SPEAKER_00
It took like weeks to shoot.
3
SPEAKER_03
Can you still do it or does it hurt your head?
3
SPEAKER_02
No, I didn t do it.
3
SPEAKER_02
Where did that come from, Chris, that sketch and then movie with Will?
3
SPEAKER_00
We were in the Groundlings and Will worked at Butterfield and Butterfield.
3
SPEAKER_00
I remember that.
3
SPEAKER_00
I saw him there.
3
SPEAKER_00
And we were like joined at the hips like all the time.
3
SPEAKER_00
We would do like temp jobs.
3
SPEAKER_00
One time he was an elf, or no, I was an elf and he was Santa.
3
SPEAKER_00
And we re like walking around and had to do that.
3
SPEAKER_03
Really?
3
SPEAKER_03
All these things that seem like sketches?
3
SPEAKER_03
Pretty much.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s funny.
3
SPEAKER_00
We lived like sketches.
3
SPEAKER_02
So this is the early 90s before you got on or late 80s, early 90s?
3
SPEAKER_00
No, it was like 94.
3
SPEAKER_02
So you guys were still not making a living being funny at that point.
3
SPEAKER_02
You had to do these.
3
SPEAKER_00
No, not at all.
3
SPEAKER_00
We were like making, you know, it was like unemployment or like whatever, you know, unemployment and whatever you got.
3
SPEAKER_00
But he met his wife at Butterfield and Butterfield actually, Vivica.
3
SPEAKER_00
So that s a good thing.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I met myself and whatever.
3
SPEAKER_00
Anyway, so I, we went to a bar and we saw a guy at the bar alone and he was like, just doing the thing to the, it was all like, he s pointing at the, pointing at a girl, pointing back at himself, pointing at a girl.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And he literally turned, he got a drink at the bar.
3
SPEAKER_00
He was like this.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then he turned to, you know, to the dance floor.
3
SPEAKER_00
You want me to dance?
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Do you want it?
3
SPEAKER_00
You don t, you don t.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s, that s fine.
3
SPEAKER_00
Whatever.
3
SPEAKER_00
So that was basically it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And we re like, God, that guy is so pathetic.
3
SPEAKER_03
You know what?
3
SPEAKER_03
It s very hard to take a funny scene like that, where, you know, it s funny and you got to figure out, I mean, you guys, it was sort of just doing that, but I ve seen scenes in life that I go, that s so funny.
3
SPEAKER_03
And it s to transfer that into a sketch.
3
SPEAKER_03
You can fucking ruin it.
3
SPEAKER_03
You can do it wrong.
3
SPEAKER_03
And you go, God, what did I do wrong here?
3
SPEAKER_03
because I know it s good, I just am not adapting it perfectly for what it should be, something.
3
SPEAKER_03
But you got the music right, you got the look right, it was a funny hook.
3
SPEAKER_02
The song was perfect, and in the sketch, did they talk or no?
3
SPEAKER_02
No, originally they weren t meant to talk.
3
SPEAKER_02
It was just music over it?
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02

3
SPEAKER_03
Uh, Chris, so, so yeah, I remember when was Sherry Oteri getting smashed in the middle and what was Jim Carrey just doing it with you guys?
3
SPEAKER_03
That must ve been a monster one.
3
SPEAKER_03
I think I remember that.
3
SPEAKER_03
I do remember that.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, that was the kind of, that was the sketch that kind of, you know, took off and I was listening to that kind of
3
SPEAKER_00
music, like techno music.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was, I don t know why I liked it, but Will was like, you take care of the songs because I don t know anything about that weird, strange kind of music.
3
SPEAKER_03
You re like, I just, all you need is one winner like that.
3
SPEAKER_03
That s one fucking song.
3
SPEAKER_03
Did you guys, so you did a commercial on that one.
3
SPEAKER_03
Did you ever do, was there talk of a, did you do a movie of that?
3
SPEAKER_03
You did Night of the Roxbury.
3
SPEAKER_02
Night at the Roxbury, absolutely.
3
SPEAKER_02
And that s why you decided how they would talk and how did they, I mean, just they were kind of.
3
SPEAKER_00
We just sat in a room in front of John Baldwin and we were like, he s like, so what do they sound like?
3
SPEAKER_00
Who, by the way, has a lot of energy.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think he still does, probably.
3
SPEAKER_00
Probably, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And very sweet guy.
3
SPEAKER_00
And he s like, so what do they sound like?
3
SPEAKER_00
And Will and I were like, we don t, we re not ready for this.
3
SPEAKER_03
I know you re like, you could fuck it up because you could go, my guy sounds like this.
3
SPEAKER_03
And everyone s like, uh oh.
3
SPEAKER_00
Well, anyway, what are we doing?
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
No, I thought there would be sort of Eastern European for some reason.
3
SPEAKER_00
We know that that was later.
3
SPEAKER_00
We were like, do we decide?
3
SPEAKER_00
We have to decide because we re writing a script now.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, where are they from?
3
SPEAKER_00
We don t know anything.
3
SPEAKER_00
And somebody said, like, they re from, you know, the Brooklyn or like, oh, they re from Beverly Hills.
3
SPEAKER_00
And now they re Eastern European.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, and Steve Porn was the writer, too, as well.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I would write it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But when we sat in front of Goldman, we re like, what do we say?
3
SPEAKER_00
So we went.
3
SPEAKER_00
What s up?
3
SPEAKER_00
And he and Will went, what s up?
3
SPEAKER_00
And Goldman was like.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Print it!
3
SPEAKER_03
Lunch!
3
SPEAKER_03
So Korn wrote the movie with you and Will?
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, we would be at the Four Seasons while we were doing... Lauren gave us a room at the Four Seasons to write after we wrote sketches at SNL.
3
SPEAKER_00
So we wrote the script while doing the show, which probably happened a lot.
3
SPEAKER_03
And then you go to the Four Seasons in New York?
3
SPEAKER_00
This was in New York.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then when we had a week off, we d go to Paramount and we d go in Lauren s office.
3
SPEAKER_00
And your old friend Erin was there and she d like just say, OK, she d open up the place and we d go right to it.
3
SPEAKER_01
And Lauren s like, I m over here now.
3
SPEAKER_01
You saw me in New York.
3
SPEAKER_01
Now I m in L.A.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, but his office used to be, it was like, when he got that office at Paramount, or got it again, because he did Black Sheep with you, and he did Tommy Boy, and then New Wayne s World with you, Dana, and then he would refer to those all the time, obviously, because that was his Paramount stuff, and they did so well, and people loved it, but we got that office, and it used to be Crocodile Dundee s office, so they were taking off the Crocodile Dundee posters,
3
SPEAKER_00
And putting up the Lorne movies, like Clown Heads and Three Amigos.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s not a noise.
3
SPEAKER_01
Fuck it all, Dundee, he s down.
3
SPEAKER_03
Lorne s got some hits over there, shit.
3
SPEAKER_03
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_03
Oh, of course.
3
SPEAKER_00
What was the great one with your brain when the dog was here?
3
SPEAKER_00
He smells my dog.
3
SPEAKER_02
Massive head wound Harry.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
3
SPEAKER_00
My God.
3
SPEAKER_00
What a great head wound.
3
SPEAKER_02
I wish I could show a clip of that.
3
SPEAKER_02
That was the dog.
3
SPEAKER_02
You know, I was just writing great writing.
3
SPEAKER_02
I was just walking through, but the dog, they put, I guess it was like Gerber s baby food or something on this prosthetic skull.
3
SPEAKER_03
I had to make them lick it.
3
SPEAKER_02
Right.
3
SPEAKER_02
They put a little bit at dress.
3
SPEAKER_02
He went, well, he was pulling it.
3
SPEAKER_02
I know.
3
SPEAKER_02
And I had a,
3
SPEAKER_02
I had a Lucille Ball moment where it s like, okay, do I hold the wig on or do I let the wig go off?
3
SPEAKER_02
But I just thought, oh, the sketch is going so good, I ll hold the wig on so it won t become about that.
3
SPEAKER_02
Maybe it was the bad choice, but when a dog goes crazy, the audience goes crazy.
3
SPEAKER_02
And you go, he smells my dog or something.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
But yeah, he says he smells my dog.
3
SPEAKER_00
And but he was literally pulling the thing.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that s what was so genius about it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like it was such a struggle.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
No, we fought it out.
3
SPEAKER_02
He wanted that.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_02
That rubber head of mine.
3
SPEAKER_03
So, Dana, you re saying a dress they put a little and then they fucking overdid on air and it
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, the dog went crazy.
4
SPEAKER_00
Dog went dog.
4
SPEAKER_00
So funny.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s a genius who put that on there.
4
SPEAKER_01
Did you guys ever have a sketch with an animal during your time there?
4
SPEAKER_01
I don t remember.
4
SPEAKER_01
I don t remember.
4
SPEAKER_02
I think I had a, there was a real monkey in a Mr. Peeper s thing, but we didn t touch it.
4
SPEAKER_01
Was that the same monkey that Mike used for sprockets?
4
SPEAKER_01
They just had one monkey that they- Yeah, that was the one.
4
SPEAKER_02
It was under Lauren s desk, ready to go anytime.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, Sprockets Monkey just waiting at the station for the call in his dressing room.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, exactly.
4
SPEAKER_00
What about, oh, you did Dancing with the Stars too.
4
SPEAKER_00
Is it, was it too hard?
4
SPEAKER_00
I ve thought about that show and I go, I would collapse so quickly.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, that s a good thing to bring up.
4
SPEAKER_02
Uh, let s Dance with the Stars.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
So I was on Dancing with the Stars and, uh, yeah, it was, it s amazing how much those dancers are like, they were so trained.
4
SPEAKER_02
I mean, they re so good.
4
SPEAKER_02
good.
4
SPEAKER_02
They re so good.
4
SPEAKER_00
And they re so motivated.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then they give you like caveats, like you get more money if you stay a week or you get, or they get more money, something because, and they want you to have followers.
4
SPEAKER_00
You want people to call in.
4
SPEAKER_00
So those kinds of shows incorporate everything that helps them.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it s actually helps you too.
4
SPEAKER_00
But those shows seem so hard, uh, because just regular, I think the training they re so tough about, they do not want you.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s an all day event.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re just like,
4
SPEAKER_00
The more you train, the better you re going to win.
4
SPEAKER_00
You re like, I know, but I m fucking lazy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t want to do this all day.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
I wasn t lazy.
4
SPEAKER_02
I was in it, but it was just hard.
4
SPEAKER_02
And they were like, make me do moves that I m like, I don t know how to do that.
4
SPEAKER_02
And I was kind of like, can you maybe like a situation?
4
SPEAKER_02
So it s like more about, not more about, but like easier for me.
4
SPEAKER_02
So I could just do a couple moves.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_00
They trick it to where they look like you re doing a lot, but you re really not doing that much, hopefully.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it s like I can t spin like that.
4
SPEAKER_02
And like there s like Simone Biles is like doing these incredible moves and she s like a gymnast.
4
SPEAKER_02
I m like, I can t do that.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, she was on your same one.
4
SPEAKER_00
I would I would just quit.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_02
It s yeah, she was incredible.
4
SPEAKER_02
And like the background had fire going on.
4
SPEAKER_02
I m like, mines has like little snow sparklers.
4
SPEAKER_01
We should we should do a show sketch comedy with the dancers and bring them out and go, come on.
4
SPEAKER_01
I hit that line.
4
SPEAKER_01
No, slow down.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_01
Vivint, you re mugging.

SPEAKER_00
You re mugging.

4
SPEAKER_00
Everyone gets to know, everyone s good looking, all the guys, all the girls.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s unbelievable.
4
SPEAKER_00
But it s turned into such a biz over there.
4
SPEAKER_00
Everything about it.
4
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it was very, I did learn a lot about followers.
4
SPEAKER_02
I remember because I was with Whitney Carson.
4
SPEAKER_02
She s like, you gotta go, you gotta get these followers here.
4
SPEAKER_02
I m like, oh, is that what s going on?
4
SPEAKER_02
I did not know that was an important thing.
4
SPEAKER_00
I learned a lot about Vicodin.
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, when you get sore, I get sore just going to the mailbox.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I go up, time for a Vicodin.
4
SPEAKER_00
I wouldn t do it, but I just picked up a kettlebell.

SPEAKER_01
Oh, you just have a little Tito s Neat and a Vicodin, it s 10 a.m.

SPEAKER_00
Oh, yes.
4
SPEAKER_02
Never even heard of that one.
4
SPEAKER_02
Oh, babe, you got it.
4
SPEAKER_02
