Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade - Behind Biden/Fauci Impressions + Star Search & Oasis Frenzy

Episode Date: September 15, 2025

Dana pulls back the curtain on his Biden and Fauci clips that blew up the internet—how he built the voices and the rhythm. Before that, David revisits the mall audition for Star Search he actually got…and turned down, plus why he passed on a Joan Rivers cohost gig that still led to a FOX exec meeting. Then the guys react to clips—Sen. John Kennedy on aliens, “Japan invented the shower,”—and riff on reunion bands. They close by debating whether they’d do stand-up in Saudi Arabia like other comics.

Dancing with the former stars. Can we get some actual stars on there? We'll throw the show off its axis. What was the Ed Big Man show? Star Search. I auditioned for Star Search I auditioned at a mall in Arizona Paradise Island Mall

Okay Guess what? Bombed Were you at the Buster Brown shoe store? Where were you in the mall? It was they set up a little thing in the atrium

Near the food court It was pretty good once you Wade in Chess King We'll be with you in a moment What's funny? What a comedian? The holding area was Hickory Farms It hits the punchline

and then freezes. Okay, so there you were next to dockers. You got to lean in. Pre-Sketchers. Pre-sketchers. I kind of find shopping malls if they're empty and they're kind of nice. I find them sort of calming.

It's like going inside a spaceship. It could take off and you could just live in there. The little music, when they're empty, very calming. I go there sometimes to get my steps down. ladies. Are you into the steps and the ladies are not standing up? They're like, what? A guy that counts his steps? What? Can I tell you something about the step myth? Yeah. Don't ruin it for me, but go ahead. Well, like I always say, people say, I take a statin, I get side effects. What's your dosage? Maximum. Hey, dosage matters. Why don't you lower it? I'll tell my doctor. Do you have any

other side any side effects anymore no cholesterol still low yes so the same things with the 10,000 feet or 10,000 steps it's fine do it if you can but a little bit of intensity goes a long way yeah you know you don't you do less steps but you find a little hill you get out of breath it's all in my book this has been a medical moment with Dana Carver I You're funny. You're really funny. I like to educate as well and then be funny. You are brains and funny.

I am just... Now, when I audition for Star Search at the mall, it was back in the day, and you did two minutes. Two minutes. It's funny. It was Dennis Miller had a joke, our boy, Dennis Miller. They said they used to have musical acts on Star Search. Mm-hmm.

And he goes, it was always funny to watch Ed McMahon go, ladies and gentlemen, kayak. Yeah, hold on in a second. I'm going to close the curtains because it's getting too bright. We keep this in here. Oh, for real? Yeah, because the sun came out and I don't want to be so bright that, you know. Oh, I can't see shit. I'll tell everyone about my headache when it's too bright here.

You always wonder why Dana's really bright and I'm not too much light gives me a headache because my fucking neck. So here I am. I have a ring light, which I caved into, so I could look better. And it's a fucking headache machine. And we're back. Oh, this idiot. Oh, fuck. Okay.

There. That was kayak. That was kayak. Ladies and gentlemen, toe fungus. He has a funny bit to where he says, he went on Star Search, yes, with his fucking unreal act. Yeah. And he goes, great. He does one joke where he goes,

Ronald Reagan will be 77 at the end of his next term. And he has access to the button. You know, folks, my grandpa's 77. We don't let him use a remote control on the TV set. And then he goes, he gets two stars. And then Sinbad comes out and goes, you ever have underpants so old? It's just you're wearing a rubber band right in your waist.

Then he goes, oh, my God, four stars. And he lost. I know. He was a force of nature. But I remember booty so big, be dragging in the sand. And I remember that with people you'd see with feet and tongues and the audience. Can't hit hands hard enough together. Simbad's a force.

Sinbad's funny. He had his stage presence and everything. He always killed. I did a corporate with him. He blew me away. He killed. Everyone looked at me and goes, bring that fucking other guy back. They go, Sinbad's going to open.

You're going to, I go, open for me? and then I could not follow it. No, he's a powerhouse. I mean, you know, I had once I was playing some theater and the stage hand, I think we've talked about this years ago, but he says right before I go out, you know, Sinbad got like four standing ovations. His first 10 minutes was all about the city and the town and the park and the football team. So I had to kind of erase all my local references.

Oh, yeah. He gets there six weeks ahead and does all the reasons. Khan. Well, he was a pro, is a pro. Let's have them on. Wait, one more thing about Star Search. Here's trivia. So I'm desperately thirsty to get Star Search. Just get anything happening. Oh, yeah, it's a television show. Out in L.A. Now they've seen me at the improv. Now I'm auditioning for everything. Joan Rivers had a show. I think I told you this. So John Rivers has a show. Can we talk? Can we talk? Oh, my God. Liz Taylor dog. So that's Elizabeth Taylor.

She said it was a dog. I remember Louis C.K. had an episode with Joan Rivers where suddenly his character of Louis lurched it and tried to make out with Joan Rivers. No. Because he was so turned on by our comedy. Oh, that's great. Let's ask about it when he comes on. He's coming on.

Yeah, yeah. That was really, really funny. Comedy can make people sexy. Instagram. Yeah, please, hopefully. I have a couple of jokes when I follow Louis. I want to ask him about that are great. Also, so Star Search, I go into Gervitz's office.

Back then we had Gervitz. You like money? Hey, handsome. What are you doing the office? Oh, somebody's lost? Who's funny than you? Who's funny than you? I have a shirt just like that, except mine's expensive.

I had a shit like that. Then my dad got a job. Don't open your shirt. Your heart will fall out. I'm out of jokes. Where were you last night? I go, I did a charity at that company store. Ooh, don't open you.

Your heart will fall out. He said that one to me maybe. Oh, that's about doing a, being a go. Yeah, being a good guy. Do gooder. Your heart will fall out if you open your shirt. But why would the heart fall out? Like, it's burst in your chest.

It's so big. I don't know. It's like a very, it's like a manager's joke. It's like there's a joke in there somewhere, but it wouldn't be that. It just sounds like a joke. Mm-hmm. If you dissect it. Oh, you did a check.

any fan. Oh, okay. Let's see. How many hours a day do you spend virtual signaling? Something. You come on. You're the writer. Oh, the other one I said, I say, oh, you know me, I have great guy syndrome. And now he says it back to me. I'm working on Memorial Day. Yep. I got great guy syndrome. I go, don't take my own joke back to me. I want to make sure my camera's not. Oh, boy, we got a real tech situation. I think it's great that people understand that. People like that. We're not just walking through it. I think it was a little blurry.

I think it had some dust on it. We're getting our hands dirty. I don't know what happened to my hair. I tried to copy you and it's a disaster. Your hair's getting some dust on it. You know, I don't color my hair and people are accusing me going, hey, let it go, dude. I go, you think I pick this? Let it go.

You've got some silver in there. It looks good today, but I do have some silvery. I call it blonde and people go, you mean the gray part? I go, well, What? What? Huh? They go, oh, you didn't know?

That's not blonde. Hey, I'll just say this. Anyone can do whatever they want. Do we want Mick Jagger to come out with white hair? Question. No. It's funny. You see a lot of these old bands on the road and they all have pitch white hair.

And I prefer they look like they did in this. So one time you're for it. Plastic surgery, darkening hair. Just darkening the hair is a good trick. It takes 20 years off. Yeah, I mean, Jagger, he stayed 120 pounds his entire life. He works out like crazy. I know from inside sources, that is his hair.

He has a crazy head of thick hair. And so when you're watching him, and if they don't go like this, if it's head to toe, it's Nick Jagger, man. I mean, it's enough of, yeah. He has a character. charactery face, which I think people appreciate down the line where I think girls can handle a guy with a lot of character in their face, which means a lot of bumps, bruises, wrinkles. Well, experience.

I mean, women, I read this recently, and this is not to offend women. This was a generalization by a woman psychotherapist. Women are attracted to kindness, funniness, and, you know, and. access to resources. So Mick Jagger, he's kind, I don't know, he's smart, and he has access to resources. He has a garden hose. I've got a castle in Spain, you know. That's a bigger resource than just, you know, stuff in your doomsday prepper closet. Yeah, I know where I'll go when the apocalypse comes. Yeah, where you're going to my pantry. Meet me in one of my pantries. We should have a, we should have a plan.

That's 700 feet below the ground where you are right now. Whoops, I shouldn't have said that. Actually, I'm in the basement. It is a bunkery. We're in the basement. Yeah, that's a place to be when the radioactive cloud starts climbing up Laurel Canyon. Okay. Yeah.

The big one went off. What am I Gleco? What are my skishee? The ski, you know, the Finnish guy who invented slalom skein, circa 1932. Fall is in the air, and with Pura, you can bring it into every room from Pumpkin Spice

And he said, because he, she was so big on Johnny Carson, for those of you don't know, such a fabulous guest host. So we're talking in the 90s, yeah. Yeah, she, I was young comic, I was probably 23. She, uh, spun off and did her own talk show, which was against Johnny and he did not like it, never talked to her again, right? Well, I heard her side of the story, you know, publicly, and I said, you know, she, it's a human story. She starts substituting for Johnny. And Johnny had a lot of time off, but she would either do Mondays, sometimes a week. And so she was a shiny new object.

She was at the peak of her, can we talk? So she was great killing. And then Johnny would come in that. So then she, without telling Johnny. I went to Fox. Goes to Fox, signs the contract, is going to Fox, is going to appear as a talk show up against Johnny. Now, what good manners would have been, you know, Johnny, I'm thinking of making this move. You know, you just, people don't want to be surprised.

I don't know if he would have said yes or no, but he kind of earthed her. She was blindsided. He ran away. And it's, and it's Fox's like signature show. Like, they're newer. They need a show. Yeah, this is a big deal that they're going into late night television. I think she was 11 to 12 overlap with Johnny, Johnny Carson.

But Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. got blacklisted so johnny was he would draw a line sure you know sure so here's joan does her show it comes out all right you know it's a big show because it's so much press yeah so she has um she has to have guest host so she has arseigneo okay who eventually did so well and he's spun off yeah so when i get joan and gervitz goes you got joan of his show i go oh i did so so I'm pumped and I go oh my god I have to do six minutes on Joan Rivers I'm so scared and he said by the way also Star Star Search called

they want you but we don't want that we want and I was like wait this is the same minute I hear and I'm like I've been chasing Star Search for about three years I go we don't want that no no handsome you got I'm sorry did I stutter we got Joan Rivers which is a bigger deal That's network TV, not Star Search, some syndicated dog shit. I'm like, uh, okay, goes, just be happy about Joan Rivers, don't want too much.

So I said, okay. So I say no to casually Star Search, which I really wanted. I go to Joan Rivers, our senior is the host. I do my set. It does pretty well. Two days later, they call, hey, they want you to guest host for Joan. I go, well, me, I barely do stand up. But I ask you a question for in this storyline, where, is your, it's such truthy, where is your

where is your Carson appearance in this before, after during what? Because you went on Carson. I think it's after because. Okay. Because then you're doing Joe Rivers person. If you host it, maybe get persona non grata. It wasn't that. I wasn't even that smart.

I was like, oh, I couldn't imagine hosting. I said, oh, no. And he's like, you don't want to host? I go, no, I barely, I'd never been on a stage for, so I went out to do stand-up. And as I said, with Carson, all you're doing is going, oh, my God, the floor is so shiny. Oh, there's that little star I'm supposed to step on. I look and see the crowd. I've never seen it this way.

We've only seen it this way. And I'm like, there's Arsenio. Fuck. Oh, wait, I do my act now. What is my act? It's just too much going through your head. And I'm like, oh, I'm supposed to sit over there, do a monologue. I already did my good jokes.

Do this. Didn't know I'd have writers. Interview people. I don't know. I'm 23. They just were like shiny, shiny new guy did a good set. Let's tell them in there. So I say no.

And then I go to play cartoons. I think we talked about this. And then in Utah. Oh, cartoons, the comedy club? Yeah, I'm getting 600. We were just laughing. about this is someone i don't know who was uh one of our guests and uh and they said hey uh barry diller and garth and sear want to meet you from fox they were the new heads of fox and i was like why

and they go just go meet them i don't know so they said we i go in there i go what's up guys blow it up uh what do we got going here what's this meeting about i don't have lots of time and they said, why would you turn it down? And I said, oh, I wasn't ready. A meeting about you turning down a guest hosting gig? We can't believe you would turn that down. They were 23. Grooming you.

They said, we like that you turn it down. What do you want to do here at Fox? We want you to be Michael J. Fox over here. Did you do Michael J. Fox in your act at that point? Hey, Sarge. No, they just were saying literally, the, you know, ABC or whoever had family ties. And they're like, let's find something for you over here.

So that was just a great meeting off of just me not being dumb enough to hope. God, you got police academy meetings. When I was 23, I was still waitering. I put down my apron the following year. But I'd have an apron on at the holiday inn. I'd say the buffet comes with the meal. the we had a cook who was horrible and there'd be carrots or or you know corn on the plate and there'd be gravy all over it I had to bring these disgusting place to people and pretend it was a big thing my normal tip was a buck

and you my normal tip was a buck and you were having meetings and movies right out of high school I'm only saying it out of envy congratulations I like the people like you know I actually worked at Fox you were asking where the glory hole was because you were supposed to take care of some things. I'm like, well, it's sort of casting, no, it was a nice meeting and then nothing really came of it. But that's a long story. Do you have a message right now for anyone in a young person listening who aspires to a career like you have or a career in show business? What's the takeaway? What can you tell the young people? I think what I say is what you probably say, what anyone says

when people go casually on Instagram or my friend's kid says I want to be an actor or a comedian how do I do it go ideally in under 30 minutes but I think the real answer is there's no answer other than just try to do it commit yourself

and if you're any good someone will find you I always tell people the same thing I say it's it's a topsy-turvy, it's an emotionally violent thing to do. Only thing you can control in show business is trying to get better at what you do. So I'd say, go to open mics, wherever you can find them, record your act, sit with the notes, and correct anything that doesn't seem clear, anything that's not funny. I've seen open micers who have an act that doesn't really work, happen to see them two years later, not one word changed. Yeah.

So you just have to get better and then see how good you can get and then see what happens. But try not to be disappointed when people are killing before you after you. Also, to this day. No, just pay attention to yourself. Nobody else. Yeah, you have to just worry about this. Because I remember when I told you that? Remember when I played the improv and finished?

And you were there and you, gee, gee, Mr. Carvey, I was wondering. I gave you a southern accent and a stutter. Yeah. Good, good, good. All right, so should we do my thing? I guess I'm going to show a couple clips because this is sort of people are sometimes ask me how I come up with stuff and my thinking about how I do stuff. Okay, let's not play it.

What's this first one about? Yeah, discuss it first. I'll discuss it a little bit first. Set it up. So here we've queued up the Biden that I did. So at the time that I did Biden, I wasn't. I felt like he was a little underserved with the talk shows and so forth. So I just felt that because Trump was Mr. Border for like years, we've got to close it.

We'll got to close it like nobody's business. And then all of a sudden, about six months before the election, the Democrats saw that this was a, they were very vulnerable on this issue. So Biden comes out there as the border guy, you know, almost aggressively. I don't know. And I was also breaking down some hooks. Biden is the 50s guy with the ice cream and also threatening people and his, his attitude. So this was me coming on to Biden, making this point of how funny it is that suddenly he's

the border guy. I started with Biden because the border is all the rage. Now everyone's crazy for the border. So I did Biden three years ago. He's at a press conference, you know. Mr. President, do you have any idea of how are you going to handle the crisis at the border? And Biden's like, first of all, let's get our facts straight. There's no crisis at the border.

when you go up like that. And he goes, how do you know, sir? He goes, because he says so on the piece of paper. Come on. He says on the paper. There's a paper right there. And then, reasonably, everyone wants to close the border. Everyone's screaming.

Binds up there. I'll close the border harder than anyone's ever closed the border. I know how to close border. Come on, Jack. And the press is like, but last time, get your facts straight. A beach of the hell out of you. A dog paste pony's shoulder. Come on.

Let's do some pushups. I'll close a border like nobody's ever close it. the border, the border patrol, the border, can't believe it's not butter. There's the other back then. That's a good ending. So, yeah, so I forgot about the one because Biden always would have a binder and he'd have, you know, things he was reading from.

So here on the piece of paper was probably the most edgiest thing. But I just want to say is that my mantra is, my rule is if I do satirize somebody, is that it's funny, first of all, I'm just trying to see if there's anything in there, an elephant in the room, nothing's being in touch. And mostly when I look at that, it's funny. And I've had people who were really strong Biden supporters who said, I really laughed at that. So at the time, it was like, what's he doing? Yeah, underserved.

And I think, and that got millions of views when you count Facebook and everything got really sent around. A million news. It did. It did. It's just because it hadn't been really put out there. And then I ended up doing it on SNL after that. Right. And SNL wasn't really doing Biden. They didn't have a Biden really. And they, I know a lot of places focused on Trump from talk shows to whatever. And Trump's way easier. Says funny things already. You almost don't have to do anything. But it always gets an applause. But in comedy, you should go the other way sometimes and say, okay, well, what is being underserved here? okay Biden is the actual president there's got to be something funny every president gets made fun of and I do think it was you doing that sort of woke people go oh there is a funny thing about Biden that isn't super offensive doesn't take sides no it's kind of playful you have a funny

Trump and you have a funny Biden so we had the Biden when it's not here where he just would sit off to the side and it's his nose in slow motion it's so funny that got a lot of because it's only from observing him because he was the president. Yeah. You know, and then I, when he, when he started sort of being louder, you know, that was sort of helped me because he would whisper, I know how to close the border. Because I don't know how to close the borders, borders of any time. And so that rhythm gave me energy for him.

But it was just something that I did just because I wanted to. So there's one more that was, uh, probably got a little more attention. Yeah. Oh, this is Fauci, right? Yeah, because I, this was something also I felt was a little underserved. Yeah, no one made fun of Fauci. And I was like, I was, look, anyone I do, I don't hate them. I don't have any, you know, and mostly I just thought it was funny.

Fauci was the face of COVID, and he had to sell it in a way. And it was changing and mutating rapidly. So you had to get different, different boosters with different MRNA, medicine in them. Yeah. And so he had to be the face of that, but he didn't want to discourage people from getting the vaccine. So I actually was driving from Tahoe, and I was talking to my sister on the phone, and this whole thing came out. And even the ending, too, came out. So let's take a look. I miss COVID. I know. Dude, you know what I knew. There was trouble when anyone that came to our country, didn't have to get a vaccine.

And I go, if you're telling me, I can't go to work, but everyone, everyone coming in doesn't have to get one. And I go, well, once we found out when Fauci said, okay, I'm sorry, if you've had two boosters and two vaccines, you can get and give COVID to another guy who's had five vaccines and full boosts. What's there between a vaccine or boost? I don't know, it's just more vaccine, but boost the sounds better out.

Anyway, a guy with 25 vaccines would get and give COVID to a boosts. another guy with point in my back seats. That's why I'm introducing the daily COVID show. Every day you get a shock. By the time you get to your car, you got no immunity, but it's a beautiful 39 seconds. A nice little push in there. Also saying I miss COVID is funny. People are going, oh, really?

The comments are you miss COVID. We're like, we're joking, fuckface. Of course. And I didn't know I was going to do the glasses coming down. Hilarious. Hilarious. But anyway, that was the same thing. It just felt like it sort of had to be said, but also, like, again, it's just funny as well.

Two guys with four boosters and three vaccines can get. When you see someone on TV every day for two years, because he's on TV giving reports. And he asked. No one's saying a spin on it. No one's doing a joke. Here's a common denominator. We all know who this guy is. Now it's time to make fun of him.

SNL finally did, but it was Brad Pitt doing Fauci, but he was sort of an homage. It was like thanking America. Yeah. And it was not, now, someone to kind of go at them and do an actual, like, funny take where it's making fun of them, I think was appropriate and it was overdue. Well, we're supposed to kind of have a little fun with our authorities. He was the authority during this time. And we're just asking questions in a funny way. But I think before that, there was so much political tension and around people, Vax, anti-Vas,

that whole thing, that it's hard to land something like that and make it really funny. And so, but you helped me out a lot in that listening and laughing. And Heather. Yes, it was all me and Heather. Mm-hmm. So that's good. That's behind the clips. Behind the clips.

Number one thing to make sure it's funny when you satirize someone. Number two, have some sort of truth that's not really been talked about. That's a little bit elephant in the room kind of stuff. and that was the job that Fauci had to do. And I don't, I don't, I, it wasn't an easy job. As far as the Wuhan lab, that's a whole other thing. Every time they asked him, do you think the virus came from the Wuhan lab? You know, that's highly unlikely.

I don't think so. And then we found out that the NIH, which he's been ahead of, was ahead of, was funding gain of function research. doesn't mean it came from the Wuhan lab, but it was a little bit of a side step to go, I don't think so, you know. Yeah, grouchy, Fauci, he'd get mad, a little prickly sometimes. But COVID is back, but I guess it's weakened, a little prickly. Listen, you can't miss it if it doesn't go away. So Lauren used to tell me, David, they can't miss you if you don't go away.

Oh, I said like COVID. David, you should have hosted Rivers. It was a way to break out early. David, COVID needs to host. Are you boosted because you all should be boosted? I actually did. No joke. I'm not getting around here.

Talk to a pretty big doctor in L.A. Here's no stock guy. And he just said that he was not anti-vax or pro-ax. He just said people who keep getting. the boosters seem to be getting COVID more. Now, that's just one doctor's opinion, but, you know, I don't know. I had it. I had the flu.

It was worse. Yeah. You know, Christ's sake. I had a immune system like Fort Knox, you know, nothing gets in or out. I was hosting for Kimmel and I flew to Lake Tahoe, your precious place from your other story. And I was doing a show there, but I had to take a COVID. test to host Kimmel on the Monday. So I take it on Thursday. Fly to get one last vacation and things are starting to open up a little bit. And I land, I go to the hotel and I get a call. You've got

COVID. Turn around and get back on a flight. Get the fuck out. I'm like, so I couldn't do my show. Second time I canceled. The third time I went up there, there was a fire near the casino and the mountains canceled again. So I didn't get to do it until probably the fourth or fifth time. God, how many There was six people left. How many times have you had COVID? I don't know, like 50. How many, what's normal? 40 is average.

I'll let you know when I don't have it. I don't know if you have it. Asymptomatic is one of the funniest things to have with anything. You can say I have asymptomatic. I knew young people who got COVID, people in their 20s said they felt great. They just tested for it. I mean, some people got it harsher. I think, in hindsight, maybe it was younger people and older people, but who knows, let's get to the news stories.

Literally, if you're immunocompromised, you're a senior, you're a bit overweight, go ahead, get the, get the vaccine. This is our boy, John Kennedy, who's always a crack up. He was talking about radio, or the greatest pictures that has been put on this podcast. By the way, that's really him putting up this picture. It's like he's feeding candy to the alien that came out of the guy's stomach. No, what is the story? The story is something about they detected radioactive shrimp. And now he takes it all the way to, now I'm sitting down for a shrimp bowl and I get a bowl full of aliens.

You know, you don't know, I can't even tell you what he's saying here. Yeah. But it just sounds funny that he goes all the way to bring this fucking picture to the room. He's got a good staff. I would need a picture of the alien creature that burst out of the belly of the man on the spaceship in the movie alien. Not the big one. Of expressing a visual of the radioactive shrimp. Yeah.

My words. Preferably covered in blood. And the baby, not the big giant one. I'm not scared of that as much. Now, I would like to make it look like. just kind of tickling the aliens so that if I reach over, it looks like we're pals. My words, not yours. Maybe a frozen bag of shrimps next to me so I could compare the two and differentiate my point.

What a great, what a great performer. We're so lucky to have a guy that funny in the Senate. His interviews with the people are so. You said on October 9th, you tweet, Ed. You tweet. Your Twitter, not mine. It's now X. Is it X?

Okay. I know it is Twitter. That man never landed on the moon. Do you still believe that? Do you stand by those words? Your words, not mine. Have you ever seen something otherworldly? What about?

He's like the new carrot top or Gallagher. of those meetings because he brings props, he's got a suitcase. Well, the slow motion, we've seen it in movies, you know,

John Grissom novels, the super smart Southern guy who sounds like a kind of, kind of dumb, kind of dumb hick, you know, and he moves in slow motion. He's always shuffling papers,

and I don't quite know where this is, you know, but he's laying a trap for the people he's interviewing. Then he finds him, and they're like, my brim, shrimp boil.

Okay. Next one, next one, next one, next one. Okay. Oh. Oh, this is kind of a feel-good story. Okay. So, 36 years ago, one of boxing's biggest robberies, Roy Jones fought, I guess, Park Si-Hoon in the Olympics.

And when you see a clip, it looks like Roy Jones lost, but the other guy won it. So play the clip. Okay. He hasn't seen him. He wants to meet Roy after all this time. Okay. Guy fought the Olympic that got his gold.

I was 36 years. He's wait 36 years. Wow. So good to see you. Look at how nice Roy is the guy beat him in the Olympic. Wow. So the guy who got the gold is giving it. He got something for you.

First he takes a picture with it. Then he explains he's giving it back to him. And it really hits him because for 36 years he's been told he won. He thought he won. And so he's... He won the gold at the time. He had the gold, but he wants to give back to you, that it belongs to you. Wow.

Oh, my God. How heavy. 36 years, he thought he'd won that gold. Thank God for that piano to tell me. me how to think. Yeah. And it was playing live there. Yeah, the guy was, see, here it is.

Jones is the black guy in this. So when Jones is winning, they keep stopping it. I think that's what he said. Oh, yeah, they would just walk in. But Jones does look like he's winning. I know boxing very well, Dana. Jones in his heyday, I do know. It's one of the best boxers of all time.

Look how fast he is. Yeah, coming from left, right, moving in, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, it's not close. Yeah, they don't give the Korean the standing eight. It's almost over. No, I like it. Jones was great. Hands down, it's super fast.

He says Jones has a tremendous lead. I think he said that. Yeah, it's... I think I remember this. I was very young, Dan. And I'm still very young, so I don't... I was probably one. I'm the ref in white.

Oh, boy. And he knew it was kind of fixed. He said stolen right there. Let's turn into a 30 on 30. Wow. I mean, you know, I'm only interested in the 36 shares of it all. that the guy knew he'd lost, so you're five. No, I think I'm still, you're 10.

I'm going to hang on to it. 25 years later. Yeah, I looked at a couple clips. I'm good. 30, I don't know, honey. I guess it was a tie. I'm going to call someone today. Why?

Who would you call? I'm not going to do an Asian accent. I do feel like Roy Jones did not know why he was going there. I think he said the guy wants to see you again for 36 years and just say hello. and I don't think he could have reacted that way if he knew. I think it really caught him off guard. Well, I think what is the Korean fighter finally saw it again, you know, brought it out and looked at it again like 36 years later.

And at the time he looked at it, he was like, and then there was a small earthquake in South Korea at the time. So he's like, oh, Roy Jones, how so he was. Got to call Roy Jones, give him back a middle. That's in the middle. There's an earthquake while he's thinking about. It's a reenactment of what I saw on 60 minutes. Okay, so that was nice.

Gave it to him. That was a feel good clip. That's one of our best. Yeah, now we'll go to a feel bad one probably. Well, let's see what this is. Okay. Oh, Japan has created a human washing machine, which cleans and dries you in 15 minutes. It's also known as a shower.

Yeah, I don't know why. Who wants to be? The guy's in a space capsule. It's not for the claustrophobic. It's like a car wash. Do they have a video? No. Okay, well, I would say no one mentioned.

You get inside a pod. No one mentioned the shower to this guy. I think you might bump with your bit on Shark Tank next week. Yeah, okay. Hello, sharks. Have you ever been dirty at the end of the day and have no idea what to do? Yeah, I want to get into the pod that Sigourney Weaver piled into in the first alien, okay? And get a little wash and dry before I meet the next seven-ton creature on planet C.

Sorry. I've stumbled down. Krill Gore. Thank you, Dennis, for being so much of the show. Thank you, Dennis, for co-starring today. Okay, one more. Let's see. We'll keep going.

What do we got? We're really up on the news. We're really. It's fantastic. I thought that was a tree, Dana. That's not a tree? That's a drill? A Florida plumber found a snake.

Oh. It was clogged in a toilet. And they had to get a crane to stretch it out to see how long. What kind of snake? Okay, for people listening, the snake is 40 feet long and 20 inches, I mean, and thick. What kind of snake can get that big? I guess a python. Oh, it's a python that grows to 40 feet if left in a sewer?

They had to dig around a house to find it. But I've seen so many snakes and things that are so big, mostly anacondas. I have a lot. Yeah. If they're left alone in a sewer or something, they just. keep growing, growing. So it's very possible. Now, AI, I don't know if AI would waste its time with this stupid picture, but...

Well, what's the Kevin Bacon movie with the Worms Underground? Oh, I like that, Tremors. Tremors. Kind of a tremors motif. If we had Kevin on this show, we should have mom. Oh, I did a gig with a charity gig with the Bacon Brother. The Bacon Bros. They're great.

Super nice. Very talented. Did you ever try Baco's as a kid? yeah it wasn't my faith you know what it is that fake bacon you shake on your oh i know you ever do you ever do you know i love have you ever had on white bread because nothing's in the house a mayonnaise sandwich and you kind of put a little bit of pepper on it mayonnaise on white bread a little bit of pepper when when mom i don't think i've done that my mom didn't have a lot around the house but i did have peanut butter and mayonnaise i felt like Elvis but i did like it and it was fucking sickening

when I think about it. Welcome to another edition of who had it worse. A vomatorium. Well, there were five of us. And if sugar smacks came in the house, my brother, Mark, we call him the human garbage disposal, he would take the whole thing and put it in a mixing bowl

that you would do for a cake. And eat them all before you got to it. Yeah, a quart of milk, yeah. Oh, yeah. I had a pepper sandwich with mayonnaise on it. Well, that's the one I just told you about. No, you had a mayonnaise sandwich with pepper on. on it. You had a pepper, okay. Got it. I flipped the script on you, Dan. I like that. I'm a little

slow on the uptake today. You can get protein at home or a protein latte at Tim's. No powders, no blenders, no shakers. Starting at 17 grams per medium latte, Tim's new protein lattes, protein without all the work at participating restaurants in Canada. Oh, hi, buddy. Who's the best? You are. I wish I could spend all day with you instead. Uh, Dave, you're huff mute. Hey, happens to the best of us. Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers.

Scotia Bank, you're richer than you think. Think. Okay, so next one, let's see what else we got. We're really reminiscing. You're sure. It's amazing. Okay. We were just built different, 1995. This is one of where, whatever.

Part of the new routine after recess, a spray of water in the face to cool them off before hitting into a crash. Every kid goes, ow, my eyes. I think most kids would like that on a hot day getting sprayed with a big spray of cool water. I like they have no air conditioning and the teacher just goes by and go someone would complain. Don't you think some kid or a parent would complain about that? Oh yeah, kids blind now. What does you have in there? Now it was Windex in that bottle.

Any way to sue. Any way to sue. A new show. What a Suey Woo? Good Lord. Life is strange. Do you think I explain those clips properly? Did I over explain them?

No, it's behind the clips. We see a clip that went kind of viral, and you explained about it. Yeah, that's a good thing. We should get a little theme song, behind the clips, you know, harmonize. Behind the clips. Behind the clips. Because you've got some bangers out there, some seven-figure. Bang and seven-figure clips.

You know, I mean. You know, I know you like to play the guitar, Dana. Who did I run into two nights ago? Heather didn't tell you. Noel Gallagher. they're in town doing a Oasis is doing Rose Bowl which from all reports is a very good show

from all reports it's as it's the best they've ever sounded I've been following this casually but it is interesting when their relationship the band in the 90s for period of time was the biggest band in the world nothing for how long, 20 years, 15 years? Just you hear of fighting.

And they really hated each other. I mean, really would come to blows. Okay, let's start the song. Fuck you! It was like rage. I don't think it's an act. Yeah, I think they really. No, I think they really did.

They're just temperamental, crazy, good musician. How big the tour, until you do the tour, and all the tickets are bought, and then they're adding dates and selling out. Oh, reunion, yeah. Like, I'm telling you the people. that are, I'm medium in oasis and I love seeing this dude out in the real world, but the people that are in it are fucking bazooties about it. Yeah, they go crazy and everyone says it's their favorite concert. So what is it? Wonderall or Wonderful? What's the big one? It was Underalls. Maybe

Greg knows. Maybe Greg knows Wonderwall. And I think Null seems, uh, so Sally can't. Don't look back. Catchy. It's Beatle influence with pop, and I guess Noel kind of writes a lot of the songs and Liam sings, but also, I don't know who does what, but the fact that they are friends. Now, people love that, that they're kind of friendly. They're making jokes. And they're grousey, but they, I always say, I mean, I've done it on movie sets and shows where you just don't get along with someone. You know, it's show business like high school. You're not going to get along with everyone. And it's, it's, It's okay, but you get along to get along and everyone's got a common purpose to get a good movie or a good TV show. These bands, if you're an observer, all you say is, hey, Van Halen, get your fucking shit together and get on that goddamn stage. And I think they figured out, walk in separately, walk out and get in a car. We don't care if you hate each other. Play, it's our memories, we want it. So bands like that, you're just like, please do it for us and figure it out.

And they did. And I love that. And, you know, it's not cynical to say now they're making a lot, a lot of money. They probably have a lot of money, but probably maybe you don't know what they really keep from their first wave of success this time. But, you know, bands get mad because it was even in the Beatles documentary, you know, Paul is doing, I think, get back and then George has a solo or something like that, you know. And Paul being the de facto producer of his song, well, maybe you could go a little do-but-do, go-do.

And then George said, I'll play whatever you won't or I won't play at all, you know. And then he quit the band the next day. But then he came back and they were buddies again. Yeah, it's all tension. All showbiz is highly creative, highly stressful. And so that happens. Glad they're back. I will see it now.

I thought the Rose Bowl was a little much. I saw the Rolling Stones there. And it was where I was in the aisles, you know, in the stands. And then people, because I was on the edge, they start coming. me up and kind of blocking you on the stairs. And then they kind of get in your row like this. Oh, the creep. And then people go, tickets.

And they go, don't say anything. And I'm like, I can't say anything. You're fucking standing on my toes. Couldn't I just stand here? In my, we're all standing because no one will sit. So now I'm standing and there's people standing in front of me here. And I'm not supposed to rat them out. And then I'm like, this isn't fun.

And also, people, it gets scary because it's like a mob mentality. If there's any trouble, if there's any fights, you're toast well this is where I think I said the other day I don't think it's very profound but at some point if you have an attachment to let's say oasis and some of their songs and you know you're in the

nosebleeds you can barely see their screens you just want to be able to say that you saw them live because the experience is horrible we used to have day on the green be out on the football field and the grass and stuff

right I mean if you said you were Central Park for Simon and Garfunkel for their big show or Diana Ross in the Rain. Like, you were there. That's all it matters. I was at that piece of history. One place that would get big acts if they play more than one, sorry to him is so was Universal Amphitheater. It was 6,000.

And it was amphitheater. So I saw Neil Young there and stuff. And so that was intimate enough to really get into the thing. But Roseville, is that like 80,000? Go ahead. Roseville's fat. Roseville's for a football game. and they've jammed them in like fucking sardines.

I was playing when we did this last gig. When it says amphitheater, I thought that means outside, but the universal amphitheater is not outside. What does amphitheater mean? Amphitheater, I think, is just sloped down. It can be outside traditionally, if you think about Greeks and Romans,

it was an outdoor amphitheater, and there aren't outdoor amphitheaters. But I think that was an amphitheater only in that it was like a bowl. It was slanted up. Like that, yeah. I think so. And like a round?

Yeah. It was coming from Roman days and stuff where the acoustics you wanted to be as much people as possible where you can still hear the performers. Yeah. You know what I mean? I have one last question about

Heather might look this up. The comedy festival before we go in Rihad, is that a place? Saudi Arabia. There's a comedy festival, hilarious. It's funny already. So the comics that are going are getting a little blowback because people are saying this. Now, there's arguments you shouldn't go there for this.

Obviously, they're overpaying everyone. I've heard numbers. It's fucking fat and juicy on that front. But do you go because you say I'm not going to contribute? Or do you hear that all these companies do business with them anyway, so everyone's hypocritical anyway? I don't know. what are your thoughts well yeah you have to for a purity test you have to be pretty you have to go pretty deep because yeah there's so many companies involved american companies involved with

saudi arabia and their commercials come on our television you know it's it's not a cut dried simple thing exactly um they are a little blurry and murky if you will what the you know one of Trump's early days of how he would was different, you know, because they talked about the Saudi king or prince who kind of had some, a reporter put into a suitcase. You couldn't really fit in the suitcase except with, you know. One way. And then Trump's. Oh, is that the one where they, he went in the. Yeah, that's the current head of. Yeah, Saudi Arabia. It was not the smarter. You know, Putin's much better. You put poison on elbow. You walk like that. You go like that. Nobody lulls you know because trump like you think we're so good you think we're angels you think we never

take four people out you don't think you know and it was very much like what you can't say that so we never know what our own people are i don't know i mean sure i turned down two million for 10 minutes but am i a higher angel can i look down on the ones they gave me the offer was three million not to go and i said they go and you're going to ruin it No, the offer, they did, I did get an offer about this. For me, it was a couple things, but I would say also the Southwest flight there is too much. You have to stop in Houston. Yeah, I don't like to fly enough to go halfway around the world.

I would just be curious, do they pay the taxes for you? No. I mean, is it net net? I think in Dubai, there are no taxes, but I think. If you work over there, does the IRS in America? I don't know. Maybe you have to live there to get no tax. taxes, but I know Canada, a lot of people bristle because it's, you double dip. You have to pay

all these cana. Because I want to go to Toronto and Vancouver and I do, I will, but you're going to get hit so you will definitely not make. It's more like, let's just do it. It's fun and there's good crowds. I love playing Canada, but the last time I played it was a long time ago because I've got threatening letters to my home, like I didn't pay tax. And I had accounts to pay the tax. We have the same guy. I had to pay tax and I have to hire an accountant in Canada and I have to pay province and I have to pay the whole country. And then it's a right off. And then I pay ours, our U.S.

So really, that's it. But anyway, love Canada too. And I will do it. I've done it. I shall return. So no for you on Chop Chop Chop Square. That's where they're holding this, which is even more common. Chop, Chop Square.

Chop, Chop Square. Which I think it's just sort of like weird that they would call us that. Dastardly things going on there. Yeah. But it is hooky. It's a hooky name. Right. Yeah.

If there's one silver lining, where did you get killed? Chop, Chop, square. Like, ah, that's a good name. Should have thought of that. Yeah, I mean, they had comedians back in the Middle Ages. Hey, you're going to do the Attila, the Hun thing? You get like 4,000 horses and 200 dancing women. I don't know.

I am. I'm not even political. I'm just going to go. I mean, Attila, I guess when you just meet him, he's kind of a nice guy, but, you know. Attila, the Honey Fest. What? All right. Well, Dana.

Thanks for coming on. I appreciate you having me. I want to come on again. Just if you ever have a fallout, let me know. Come on. No, I'm serious. I enjoyed this podcast. I'm not getting around here.

Come on, folks. I'll be serious. I'll be serious, folks. The eyes going down is so funny. What about? What about it's a great 38 seconds? That's why I'm introducing the day. Now, Tony's daily shot.

Every time you get, every day you go to your health care provider and you get a shot. By the time you get to your car, you got no immunity, but it's a beautiful 39 seconds. There you go. Better with sunglasses. Let's end on that.
