Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade - iHeart’s Best Comedy Podcast Reigning Champs Will Defend Their Title… Or Will They?

Episode Date: January 19, 2026

Dana and David waste no time diving into awards season—starting with the most important question of all: were the reigning champions of iHeart’s Best Comedy Podcast nominated again this year… or not? The answer remains murky, despite what The Hollywood Reporter claims. From there, they break down the Golden Globes and how hard Nikki Glaser crushed it, which jokes David tried to sneak into the show. Also, the guys debate whether walking up stairs is exercise or not. And best of all, Joe Dirt lives! You’ll have to listen to find out what that means.

The Lombardi trophy. We'll take on any comers, even though we will lose. Wait, are we not nominated? Are there nominations out? Maybe I got everything. Maybe I read last year's. The left looks good, too. He's dialed in.

Look at those American flag boots he's got on. I like these kids, and they should have their own show based on what I'm seeing. Like, if this was a live streaming show and you just call it Mullet. I have one that you might not want to watch. It's called Mr. Beastiality. And what I do is. Dana, here's my opening line. Okay.

Do you ever walk down the street in L.A. wearing a puffer coat because it's cold, and then you walk by some guy in shorts and you feel like a pussy? Yes. That happens to me too often. Or a guy with a girl, they're both in shorts, and they're snickering at me.

And I'm like, isn't it a little brisk? I'm feeling a chill. Well, look. I have like eight puffer jackets. Oh, yeah. And I've got some lightweight ones, heavier weight ones. And, you know, they're adaptable. So if people judge you, just they can come see me.

Oh, okay. This is fight in words, man. Because you can unzip it. It's sort of light in a movie theater. You go to a movie. Sometimes it's 45, 46 degrees. Sometimes, right? You've ever been one that's like,

Are they going to show the movie where I can see my breath? Yeah. Sometimes to make it look less like not tough, I tie it around my waist. With a double cinch. I don't know if that helps. Sinch it up. I think it's adorable. Anyway, welcome to the show.

Welcome to the show. My guest. We're going to get to in a second, the controversy over the I-Heart Radio nominations. There's a huge controversy. Actually, we can start it. We can talk about it because it happens. It's not a big deal. I'm not going to say anything.

I mean, come on. Well, that ties into a few other things that the I heart comedy podcast award we won last year. We're up for it again. We are alluding to. Well, wait a minute. You said you walkie-talkied me because that's how we communicate. Yeah.

That we were up for it again, in 2026 comedy podcast of the year. I think that's what I read, yeah. I looked at it and I did not see our name on the nominations anywhere. Oh, so we're not? Well, I don't want to co-sign it completely. Anyone want to look that up, but that's what I saw. Yeah.

Yeah. There's podcast of the year and then there's comedy podcast. Yeah, I think podcast the year was like blah, kourist, Curistas with, um, yeah. Let's put it this way. It's, uh, it's, uh, Amy Polar, you're who, who's who we love. So and well deserved. But yeah, she's, uh, like six, seven nominations.

They'll sweep it all, but, but what about we should be up for comedy? Cause I thought I saw Nikki Glazer us and. Well, could someone look that up then? One of us has to be wrong or right. Bill and Heather are in a race to look at it. Yeah. But in the meantime, just to make sure that everyone knows who we're talking about, this is our award from last year. So we right now are the defending champions.

We have the Lombardi trophy. We'll take on any comers, even though we will lose. Wait, are we not nominated? Are there nominations out? Maybe I got everything. Maybe I read last year's. Yeah, I think a lot of times that happens. You're reading 2025.

Well, it sent me. It was an article they sent this. It was an honor to be nominated and an honor to win. And now I guess it's an honor to not be nominated. I guess so. I don't know. It's an honor to just talk about being nominated. That's pretty good hang.

Okay, here they are. Yeah. The toast. Wait, it went away. Toast. Distractable. Distractable. Disractable.

Handsome. Or is that distractible, handsome? Oh, handsome is with fortune. Okay, and then the basement yard. Can you read that? Mine went away. Oh, yeah. Best Comedy Podcasts the Year, 2026, IHeart Radio.

Good Hang with Amy Poehler. The Toast with Jimmy Toast. I don't know the feel. Distractable. I will say, handsome, I know, is fortune. And she's a comedian with her two friends. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Tignant. Which ties me into the Golden Whelves. Some comedy podcast to me are about like murder and stuff. I think people jump over to sneak in a comedy category when they're not fully I feel like if it's not like a comedian or a comedy person like a Jimmy Fallon podcast, like it has to have some and some of these I don't think for sure they're. Yeah, I mean in 2023, the comedy podcast year and I heart was son of Sam. The entire season was dedicated to Son and Sam.

And I guess it was funny. I don't know. The categories get a little, a little, you know, there's, you know. They go, we take a lighthearted look at grisly murders. That is one of them. I won't say the name, but I know. You know what? And I would like to see a podcast with this title or let's do it ourselves as an offshoot.

It would just be murder, murder, murder, with exclamation points after each murder, murder, murder, murder. And then in parentheses, with jokes. Well, murder can be funny. Well, I will ask you, did you, and jumping old golden gloves, did you think one battle after another was a comedy? It was in musical or comedy, right? I would say, I would say it's not a comedy, but that it was in the comedy category really made me laugh.

So in a weird second degrees of whatever, Kevin Bacon, it is a comedy because to call it a comedy is really funny. Well, I know that it was a great movie. Probably win all the movies at the Oscars. I have thoughts about it. Right. Okay. Go ahead, because I thought at least, and I did laugh at parts,

but if I went in there, I think it was a comedy, that was not how I went in it. Right. Yeah, it's, there were. It's a drama, right? I would say if you look at PTA, Paul Thomas Anderson, Magnolia, you know, there will be blood. So the guy's brilliant, right?

And I've talked to people, you know, everyone loves Kubrick, you know. And if you look at you take a Quentin Tarantino, you take a Cohen brothers. Great movies need to be seen more than once. So I'm going to wait a little while and I'm going to watch one battle after another a second time. And then I will give my thoughts on it because I do believe great movies that, Because it's a handful. It's a big movie. There's a lot, a lot of movie.

It's like, you know. So once upon a time in Hollywood, like I liked it the first time, but the fifth time I was like in love with it. So I'm going to withhold that. That's my hot take. And I will say that I love Benicio del Toro. There's guys that like old school, turning into old school Hollywood, would like movie star guys that I like.

I think DiCaprio is cool. I think he's younger, but Sean Penn is cool. He's all beat up. Sean Penn is like electric at this point. He's aging the way he wants. And like you can't take your eyes off of him. There's an intensity about him in this movie that's amazing.

Yeah, the acting is brilliant. Yeah. The young lady plays the younger activist is a very, good in it. So, you know, it's a interesting, it's a good movie. And while we're on the Golden Vives, we could talk a little bit about Nikki did a good job. Nicky, our friend of the show and a friend, Nicky Glace. Here's a couple of my favorite jokes. She did do a joke about podcasts, which I didn't see until after because I didn't see it on the show. I watched part of it, but when she makes fun of the podcast category and says, you know, I shouldn't be this.

close to Roberts actually me and anyone up for a podcast should not be this close to show me up for a podcast to work and then when she said good hang is up Amy Paul's good hang which is also what Timothy shallame tells his dates after a one-nighter yeah some great jokes she crushed it again she looked great she was funny and she did some sketches it was it was yeah so that the the the Oh, also I thought this always rubs me wrong. Wanda Sykes, so I saw at the party after I said hi-do and friendly with, but when she comes down and says, I am here because a queer white, a queer black woman can do better than two mediocre white guys.

It's just hard if I said, I'm here because I'm better than two mediocre black women. I mean, who could say that? Meanwhile, everyone laughs. It's hysterical. So great. She got a little burn. on Bill Maher. Yeah.

And she got Burnin' out of Ricky Jervais. Yeah, she went around and kind of roasted the nominees, and they were great jokes. It was funny. And she's likable, you know. But you watch yourself when you're a straight white male. You just, you just immediately are more careful. Yeah. I mean, I can offend you, you know, but.

It does, Vimy. Hey, David, you know, the start of the year always makes me think about balance. I don't know about you, but do think I enjoy, but in a way that actually makes you feel good, right, the next day? Sure. You don't want to give up your cocktail ritual, right? Yeah, that's like me. I just want a better version of that. That's where RK comes in.

This does it with no alcohol. Yeah, you know, I tried their tequila and made a margarita.

And honestly, it felt like the real unwind moment. I just minus the next day regret. works for cocktails, mock tails, even sipping straight, and it's safe for anyone, avoiding alcohol for health, pregnancy, recovery, or just lifestyle reasons. Dry January doesn't mean giving up cocktails. It just means finding better options, David. Yeah, I know.

I kind of like that he said that. We've said that before. We've said that sometimes people rely too much on Trump because it can be a hat on a hat. Like it can be a story by him is funny already. And then when you tell a joke about it, you can just retell what he said and it's funny. I think Conan actually, I mean, part of what he said was, just the anger oh the anger is and just instead of a joke it's like fuck trump and if you have the right audience you might get a standing ovation so it's it's it's different it's a different environment i'll

just say right i did like that and that was the angle it was yeah you're coming at it with anger instead of just being a comedian and being doing comedy yeah right it's tempting in a way if you have an audience and they have a very strong point of view about anything any kind of audience and then you kind of co-sign it and you don't necessarily have to be hilarious to go it's different than a laugh you get more of a listen during my act i'll take any of the above i asked so i ran in somewhere the grocery store up here and said what do you think of uh flying the ball and he just stood back took one step back and what i go is that good or bad you'll laugh when i'm on the road i hear about this people will show me their phone in an internet

airport they're listening to it or that this is how many they've listened to or they asked me about it so uh i like that it's out there i mean people are are knowing something about it because i hear more than i thought i would about it i know it's always kind of weird because podcasting it's like it's not there's not trucks and a crew or anything it's us talking and everybody and amy and everybody it's just people in rooms talking there's no real production so it is kind of like ah i love your thing where you guys hang out and talk It's Dana straight and a fake plant against the world. This is me dressed up.

Well, I got Superman back there in case anyone knows, and that's a fly on the wall, leather bag. And this is either a real plant. Now, we don't know. Or a fake plant. But I don't know when in podcasting there's like, you've got to have a plant, man. It fills out the room. I have real carpet behind me. Yeah, you're like in a superstar student. I'm in an undisclubs location.

It's a small bedroom, but as long as the mic works, the jokes can land. Okay, I have a real question for you, Dan. This is an exercise question. And I'm not afraid that these questions are controversial. Okay. When people say it's better to have stairs in your house because you get a workout, I say no because I have stairs, and if you're doing them all day, you're doing them all day it's not all day it's literally once every half hour so there's no

building up you know what i mean there's no like i'm going to do 12 minutes of stairs i'm going to do it's just once where it kind of like shocks your system like oh we're working at it's over and then you can almost pull something because you're kind of running up the stairs well i want your thoughts and dreams on this i would say um i should write oh i should write some kind of sub stack yeah um about this. Working out throughout the day is kind of good. So like if you're trying to turn the water on, it's kind of tight. You just make sure your abs are on. You take a wide stance. It's a little workout. If you're in your car and you're taking a turn, perfect time for a crunch.

Yep. Tighten up on you're doing anything. You get out of a chair. You lower yourself in a chair. The stairs will make you stronger unless they don't. But I would just say, because we, homo sapiens on earth, sit on our ass, exponentially. amount of time, we don't squat. Like in Cambodia and stuff, they can make a chair and just go down and, you know, but we're sitting in chairs. So jealous for those people. Stairs are counteractive to that. And if you just carefully go up and consciously walk up the stairs, go, oh, in your place, I get to walk up the stairs, one step at a time, push from the glute, one step at a time,

make it a workout. Now, when you come down, this is very important. You have to slightly tow out your feet. You don't want to do it, Jerry Lewis. You toe out because right inside, right near your knee, right above it, is a muscle called the VMO. The VMO, if that is strong, you'll see it on NBA athletes. You don't get knee pain. So you want to toe out, if you're wearing shorts, look down and make sure your VMOs are popping with each step. So then you get a quad workout coming down the stairs as well. Well, is it less like to pull something in your knee if you're not totally straight ahead with your front?

You know, you want a slight rotation like that. I mean, if you're really strong and really young, you could do squats in the gym and be straight. I can do straight foot stairs. Interesting. Well, you know what? Here's what I want Heather to do is like get her iPhone. Let's see how you go up and down the stairs. And then I'll give you my advice.

You can analyze it. That's a good idea. Yeah. Like this. When I pick this up, this is pretty heavy. Now I'm doing a podcast. Here's a pop quiz. Am I working out as I'm doing the podcast?

Am I switching? Should you be breathing heavy at this point? You're not, though, because you're in shape. Not really. No, I've fought apart. I got so many Saturday Night Live's shoulder doing Dan Quayle over an Ottoman. He was the vice president of the time. Adon, da, da, da, da da da da da da da da da da da.

So I had to do the stunt on a Thursday. Concrete with narrow little bit of carpet. Did a grade three separation the first time. I was trained in pain. So I'll do another one. another one, then another one. Then the next day, Mary Tyler Moore's the host, her husband is a doctor.

I'm walking around like this, literally. He goes, hey, what? He doesn't have the shoulder up. It's way, way up. And he goes, oh, what do you doing? So I had it checked out. They go, grade three separation, surgery, maybe on the bubble.

So I didn't do surgery. I worked it out. It didn't hurt for 40 years, but now it's back like a mofo. But I work it. You know what? Sometimes it is, never happened to you but I got a massage last week and then I've gotten them and then I

and the lady I wasn't really paying attention but she gave me a hand job and I was like what happened and then I realized my flight's taking off because I was in the airport it was one of those like lean over as soon as I'm not back with the hand job what if you're me giving like a three minute massage how'd she sneak that in there and I was mad about it didn't say anything but I was mad I know it's mad because it's who who was doing it you don't even know but that Oh, yeah, I didn't even look if it as a guy or girl. It was them working their handout. You know, that's, you know, it wasn't to do with you.

Three minutes, I go, I'll do 20. And then after that, I go, I'm done. They go, oh, it's only been four minutes. I go, yeah, I'm pretty much done. I like these dirty jokes. I sneak on you. And then you're like this. Oh, I don't have any problems.

You don't want to hear my, uh, Bert Lancaster, Kirk Douglas. Oh, right. We'll save that for another time. I just do it in my own. I know that one too. It's like Farley when he used to attack the pillow. Yeah, there's a lot of that kind of stuff or the office. Mike Myers had a character called Fucky, you know.

This is backstage stuff. It was it was completely harmless. But let's talk about movies just for a second because I'm a huge fan of housemate. Guess what? Number two, it's climbing. It's getting to a hundred million. Oh, yeah. I did hit up our.

friend of the show, Paul Fieg, who did the show, and I said, you know what? I went in a housemaid with a open mind because Dana said to go, and I thought it was good. I told him, my only criticism was maybe a hair long. I said, you know what? No other criticism. Well, I said, Sidney, Sweney played it kind of under. She wasn't overacting. She was doing things.

She wasn't trying too hard. And I like Amanda, Siegfried and Roy, whatever her last name is. And we talked about this. Yeah. We talked about it. And they're doing a series. Text me his number. I want to text him because now I've seen it twice.

So I brought my wife and I'm thinking, okay, see what you think. We got all the way to the car. You know, I'm thinking, I guess she didn't like it. She goes, I loved it. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. There's just not that many movies. You look at fatal attraction.

I guess you call them sexy thrillers or something. Yeah, that's kind of the vein of it. So just so you know, it's like, yeah. Regular like, oh, my babysitter is pretty. Like, there's more going on. Yeah, there's a lot more going on. the performances are brilliant and the way it all ties together, the music, the story, the ending. I don't know.

I think it's like just a sleeper movie. So it's kind of fun when you start to root for a film when it's first weekend. Then you watch it and you're seeing how its audience is not eroding like the other films. It's only going down. Made is an old term or is that a real term that I don't use and I never hear. I think it's kind of an old term. I don't know. I mean, you ever the housemaid job?

I was like, are we in 1820? Well, it's like you clean the fucking house and you do all the meals and get all the meal. Yeah. By the way, the room they put her and they thought it was so charming. I thought it was terrifying. I would never go into it. Well, they couldn't get the window open. But yeah, if Sydney wants to come on and talk about it, just FYI.

Oh, people are circling the block to be on the show. I think we're going to have your boy Marcello in a couple weeks, which will be fun. Your boy. Yeah, that'll be that'll be fun. There is a trailer for a movie. I don't know if you've seen it makes me laugh. And it's called primate. So the monkey goes shithouse in the thing, and they call the monkey Ben.

And they go, what's wrong with Ben? And Ben is jumping the pool and biting people. They go, what's wrong with Ben? And they go, that ain't Ben. It's like he's demonic or something. But that might be a fun movie to see. That's kind of funny. we should comment on we should watch it and comment on.

Let's see it. We can do that because I would laugh doing that. It's a kind where they show on TikTok or Instagram the people in the audience being scared. That's how they get you in. And sometimes the Daily Mail, which is known mostly for the ads they have because they have a thousand on every. You can't get through that thing without getting an ad. And so I snuck in that complaint. But they'll be like, they get paid for some of their stories.

know. So if you see someone's photo a lot, they're like, oh, they have a deal with them. Like, here's where I'll be. Take a picture of me. I'll be a leggy blonde actress or I'll be a, you know, shows some cleavage. But the monkey one, they're like, people were fucking throwing up and having diarrhea. Yeah, they show the crap. Like a night light, you know what I mean? Like night vision. And that's always a good trick to go, Netflix doesn't think they can even air this. There's probably legally and then it's like oh i got to see it people are running from the theater they're afraid of ben people are lining up to piss their pants over this movie i i just think the writer's room in some studio it tip five guys and a woman of course women in a room kind of

sitting back going i don't know they want us to make a and some dude at one point went killer a killer monkey man and they go it's too much like planet of the apes and he goes no because there's only one and they're like it's a friendly cute little chimp that get those shit house demonic and just count the benjamin's yeah they you know the big thing out there because i've got my pulse on hollywood dana and the big thing is written down right here pulse i would do We need some ringers lactate over here in holiday. Well, give me a movie idea. I'll give you, I'll give it of 10 seconds.

Don't talk. A movie, a one-liner, just think, a one-liner for the next big movie, high concept movie. You have 10 seconds. Oh, okay. I was going to say they're into low-budget horror movies because they cost $3 million and they make 20. They're the most successful. Yeah. So that's why they, if you're wondering, that's why they always have them.

Okay. A movie, monsters come to Earth and then aliens come to Earth the same day, and it's awkward. And the monsters are not aliens? They're just... When they beat monster aliens, it's all right. It was a good start. Maybe the dinosaurs come back, and they come back the same day, the aliens land. I would say it's like a simulation where the dinosaurs come back and they're big and they're real, but they look exactly like the dinosaurs on the Flintstones. Like, do you know?

Yeah, it's a simulation. We're all in a simulation, man. We're in a sim, and they, and do you remember when the Flintstones, like, Pelican, they'd squeeze his fucking gut and he'd spit out water and that was like the dishwasher. and then you go, it's a living. I know. I thought, he was good to the camera.

I used to love that cartoon because it's on like at six o'clock, like it was quasi-adult and it was a half hour. Do you want to hear my funny Flintstone thing? For sure. So I'm on SNL last fall and I'm doing Biden, and I'm trying to think a non-sacquarties. So for the dress show, he's like, people,

jabba-dab-dab-dab-doo, right? Yeah. So Lorne, I could tell. And I wasn't sure about it. He read, flagged it. So between, you know, like 1115, Lauren just comes to the restroom, just says, oh, yababababado do. And I said, all right, I'll change it.

I'll change it. So the writers came around. They were panic. You talked to Lauren? He wants something change. It's like 1120. He's so mad. We came up with Bed Bath and Beyond or whatever.

Can't believe it's not butter. Yeah. Bed Bath and Beyond was you. Oh, yeah, that's right. You thought of it. Tootie fruity. Yeah, there's so many funny things that Biden can say in nuts. It was such a fun.

Once you got into that, it was like, oh, this is. Guess what? By the way. No, I know. It was a fun character. And he had his moment, but now it's all Trump all the time. We're taking over the world this week, this week, the world. It's really.

It's exciting. It's exciting right now. What else we have? You want to go to some stories or what else you want to tell me? Germany sent 13 soldiers in France 15 soldiers to Greenland as a show of force. Did they really? Yeah. That's what I've read. Yeah, look out. Well, we got to rethink it.

I know. We have to be nice. If we're going to Greenland, we should say, listen. Let's do a collab. We'll go up there. You're up there. Let's make this right. What does Greenland have? Minerals? What's so fucking great about it? Rare earth.

And who knows what's under there? But I looked it up. I go, Greenland, what? Isn't this climate change? And then I looked it up. So a thousand years ago, it was like five degrees Celsius, like 10 degrees warmer. And Greenland was just this green island. Oh, because Greenland's icy and Iceland's green.

That's what I've heard. Is that true? Yes. But Greenland, when this Viking. one over there. This place is green. What are you going to call it? Godna call it Greenland. And now it's a frozen tundra. There's a lot of stuff there. There's a lot of activity up around Antarctica, like China and Russia are up there. We see your icebreaker, you know, go follow us, Chinese people, you know, so. Why are we not allowed to fly around the North Pole and Antarctica or

whatever that is? Who's telling us we can't? No one can go up there because aliens, aliens. They don't tell us, but the people that think there's shenanigans going on there, you can't go past a certain place. But I kind of want to go. I don't want to go at all, but I kind of want to someone to go and find out. Well, would you take a helicopter from North Carolina, I would be scared. I would be like, I don't want to know. Like the ice wall, like what's going on up there?

Lots going on. Conspiracy. I would be so excited if they're aliens or monsters or hidden civil. civilizations in the planet or anything that's proven that we're not just eight billion people on this rock in the middle of nowhere. He's a billion turds. I'm getting bored with us. Christ, what else? What else you got? I have a non-second word, Joe, because I've been doing this for Chris Rios, the haircuter woman. She loves it so much. This is only for people 60. She's not that old, but here he is.

Well, I can't believe Trump wants Greenland. Gary Grant, my mom goes, I knew he was gay. He's so good looking, but nothing got nothing from him. It was never proven that I was a homosexual. I'm Gary Grant. That was a rumor. Oh, I didn't know you could hear me talking. Okay, I'm sorry.

David, you don't really know what you're talking about half the time. That's the reason we're not coming back for podcasts of the year. We might be. I think it has a bad data. No, we'll see. If we don't get it, We'll say it's rigged. Go ahead.

What happened? I don't care. Fuck them all. Oh, my God. By the way, Dana, we're going to have busboys is getting closer to maybe being seen by one. Please release it. Release the hounds. Tell me, what's happening?

Where is it at now? Trevor Wallace and Tim Dillon and Theo. They'll come on more closer to that. But I finished the music. We finished. We act like it's some big opus. It's literally a teensy little move, but it's such a pain because Theo is always busy and I'm on the road. I'm trying to go back and forth.

Then I said, have a cut. Then we tweak this. And what about these songs? And what about this? We have to do the score. We do it all because we paid for it. So it's like, we got to hire a guy to do the color, you know, contrast. We got a hire a guy.

Now we got to go to looping. Good luck. So we got to go in a booth. Beepa poop. Because the sound wasn't right to people. We're almost there though, this year in the making. It was a year now. We would still be shooting, right?

Heather last year. We started right during the fires. We had a postpone a week. Then we went out there and there was a fire. And then the winds were like 90 mile hours. We'd sell drugs in the movie and I was like, oh, it's blowing us so bad. Anyway, we got through it. Listen, it was like after the, after you see Titanic, then you hear about all the stories they had, you know. But once you see the perfect final product, you're like, I have a golden gloves next year. I'm nervous. What if you're nominated? Yeah, for best comedy, best comedy actor.

Her best, what if it's a new category called best whatever this is? Get your outfit ready. What are you? Me and Theo will dress as bus boys and we'll go like, like make it all stupid. Well, here's my question for a comedy. If the sound broke, would it still be entertaining? I, we're hoping the sound breaks, yeah. Okay.

We just run around going, me, who you, Yeah. Funny with the sound off. Well, look at it. Look, if this doesn't work, it's still more busboys and you just sort of redo this one and called still more bus boys. Bus boys forever. Waiters. Dishwashers. Associate GM. I got a sneaky feeling. We got we got we got stalled cells of fun and comedy on a hand. And have you ever been a restaurant and people come over on purpose to talk to you. So they go, hey, I'm the assistant GM. of this quadrant, anything we can get you, if you guys need anything? And I go, A1, and they go, huh? You got any A1? And they're like, uh.

They don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, first of all, they don't want to ask them for anything. They just say this as a courtesy to come over and just say hi. And I send them on a job and they're like, oh, there's chores. Then they go, let me ask, first of all, what is A1? I'm like, it's the stuff I drown out your crummy steak, but they're like, And they know it's like a five-star restaurant. They're like, this chef doesn't like that on the premises.

I go, yeah, well, I'm eating here, not him. So you get a $100 steak and smother it in A1 steak sauce. Why don't you scoot down to 7-Eleve? God, you are Joe Dirt. I got a funny story. I hope it comes up. Let's go into one of the stories because it's a Joe Dirt story. Hey, put that Mollett contest.

There's a 10-year-old in Pennsylvania. This was an. That's not him. That's me. So a 10 year old, does it, there's a lot of mullet contest. You look 10 years old. And so, okay. Next picture, dude. Oh, well.

Oh, maybe we can do that. Annual mullet contest. Maybe it's bad. I sent win one. Okay. Look at this. Farms show. Yeah, no better way to describe this.

The event in Harrisburg. Look at these bros. Oh, coming back. Thiel's bringing them back. John Daley. Look at that little partier. Wow. He should have won.

The overall winner was 10-year-old Drew Fleshit of Dallas, Pennsylvania, who wore a red and black plaid shirt with a mop to mimic the movie character, Joe Dirk. Oh, he had glasses on. Oh, okay. I sent in a photo of them. So they really shave the sides. Oh, yeah. Look at me.

Liner kind of shaved. So you have a shaves. You have a mullet right now and you won't even entered into the contest. I'm trying to. Get into a hockey movie where they're gay guys. What's it called? Hockey movie where there's gay guys. Something rivalry.

Heated rivalry. Big show. Hmm. As good as. They're like fighting hockey. Then they start going, oh. Oh, it's one of those shows. But that little kid, those five, the kind of chubby kid, that should be the new cast of

Stranger Things, all those guys with Mullets. It was pretty cool. Everyone went all out. I want to host a mullet contest. We should do that next year. I'm going to call bars to a sports. We're going to do a collab and let's go host a muller con. Maybe for the movie.

Because Theo's got a mullet. I don't think I've ever had a mullet. Heather, she's our female on the show. Woman, are they sexy? Love them. On girls and guys. I like them on girls too, yeah. Well, how about you getting a mullet then, Heather?

He's got great hair. She could do it. If I do my natural girls, I'll be Odessa someday. Oh, we all like Odessa. uh oh oh there's a kid heather so there's a kid in the middle oh he did full joe dirt that's look at that little twerk next to him he looks cool as shit oh he didn't even know where he is he thinks he's at walmart he's like what's going on spade plays a lovable down in his luck janitor whose mullet is family fixed to his head from infancy

Yeah. So let's get Justin. Flesh shot. How do you say his name, Dana? Go ahead. Well, let's have him on the podcast. Flesh. Oh, they're in Pennsylvania.

You know, I'm playing Pennsylvania in a couple weeks. I'll tell him to come down. Those kids are probably too young to come to the show, but I'll say hi to him. Well, you come back stage, couldn't he? And then come out on stage and you kind of. I don't know if my act would hurt him in any way, but I think he could. The left looks good, too. He's dialed in.

Look at those American flag boots he's got on. I like these kids. kids and they should have their own show based on what I'm seeing. Like if this was if this was a live streaming show and you just call it mullet, you know, like, you know, it's like a Napoleon dynamite kind of movie. It'd be great with these kids, you know, quirky. Okay, well, they did a great job. That kid's a winner.

I hope he won. I feel good now. That was a feel good. Also this wrestler name, and I know this guy, Nick Nemeth, I think, I think. Yeah. He's a, I used to talk. to him on Twitter because you follow me Nick Nemeth he's in TNA wrestling he's doing a inside the ring show based on a Hollywood minute not funny okay like a like a influence by Hollywood minute so I guess

he's gonna kind of make make fun of rough and stuff and the rest of wrestlers and yeah i think that putting a picture up and being sarcastic is funny can't be copyrighted but the Hollywood minute thing Yours was specific to Hollywood stars. You know, I actually stole that because I couldn't think of a name for it, and I was watching CNN, and they used to go, here's Jim Squank. My Whit the Hollywood Minute. And he would talk about it.

Well, it's great because it couches it. It brands it, and it's not going to last that long. It's just like, boom. You start and it's almost over. That's the best pitch. This is almost over. But it's like if I came out as the church lady, I didn't say she's a church lady on church chat,

just a funny character talking, you know. You got to couch it for anyone who wants to be on Saturday Night Live. You need to brand it and you need to have reoccurring characters. Not so much anymore though. They don't want to something, not in a morning show. And I said, Dana and I kind of do a morning show if you just watch it in the morning. Right. Well, I, did you ever pinch hit for, um,

Kathy Gifford or Regis. Oh, I don't think I did. I've only done Kimmel. I did two of those where I was with them. I was with Kathy Lee out doing Regis. Then I was with Regis. So it was kind of sweet. It was like just Regis and I,

anyway, you're ready for this? Honest to God, kid, you know, you're terrific and all these things and everybody's happy, you know. And then we came out. He had a, there was a book, and he signed it for me. It was his autobiography, you know, like, and he had told me, he goes,

you're honest to God. They wanted us to call it, well, I'm out of control. But I told her, I never said that. That was Dan Agone. Dan Agone said I was out of control. I love it. So we come out, we come out of the studio as like 10 a.m. And there's all these crews working and stuff with drills.

They stop. Hey, yo, Regis. Hey, Regis, you know, they love me, kid. They love me. I don't know what it's all about. but honest that God, you know, I don't know. And then it was, I got. Did you play Regis the whole time?

I did. I was a full hour, just me and Regis, yeah. But you were acting like Regis or you were yourself? No, I was doing myself and going in and out and doing other things. That's about it. But yeah, I don't know. He probably signed this to every book he ever had, but later on, I got home and my wife's was flipping through the book and it said, after all these years, my favorite guest,

love Regis. Wow. That's kind of sweet. That is nice. But then I talk to other people. After all these years, my favorite, I don't know. Now, we put in mind, you've been after all these years, you're the friend of my favorite guest. I just thought Regis was brilliant.

I mean, I thought just because it was a morning show and stuff, the way he could be funny and sincere and his patter and his energy, I mean, he was. He literally, all he had to talk about, if you think about it, because we do this once week. All he has to talk about is when he gets off work at, like, noon. until it goes to bed at seven. So if anything happens, can you believe I'm walking on the street? The dormant is going to be the same shit every day. So he's got to go out to adventures because what else is I'm talking about? Yeah, you know, honest to God, is that a charity function?

I'm seated by Tom Broca. I can't see the stage, you know. Yeah, exactly. From the creative team behind the Brutelist and starring Academy Award nominee Amanda Seifred in a career best performance, Searchlight Pictures presents the Testament of Anne Lee. With rave reviews from the Venice Film Festival, this bold and magnetic musical epic

tells the story inspired by a true legend, Anne Lee, founder of the radical religious movement, The Shakers, The Testament of Anne Lee, now playing in an exclusive Toronto engagement in theaters everywhere January 23rd. Heather and I had a break-in at my fucking storage unit, and then the other day a guy came up to my car and started not attacking me, he's screaming at me, and he's obviously crazy,

and he was saying stuff that was really scary. So actually, it's a funny story. So is that Keith or Sutherland? I love Keeper Sutherland. I know, and I always say innocent till proven whatever. So what went down? I don't know. I felt like a star when I was at the Chicago Improv.

Jamie Gertz, her dad owned it. Jamie Gertz, the actress. And it was back to then. And the richest, I believe the richest Hollywood actress. Jamie Gertz? They're so rich. I don't even know why they're. She's a multi-billionaire.

Yeah. I think I'd only met her once in there, but we all had a crush on her. And then back the, I'll tell you, the Circa, Flatliners was coming out. No, Frontliners was shooting. So this is, so they said, hey. Not the movie. Yeah. Yeah.

So they go, Kiefer. suther sutherland oliver platt billy ball and they're all coming in for flatlines whoever the cast was and they're going to watch the show so after the show they said let's go out drinking meanwhile i wasn't even on s-n-l i don't think i was just the comedian so great so we go oh julia roberts just got here and kefir says oh yeah and billy we said we would bring her out when she got in and in my head i'm like oh great we're going to see julia roberts so we go all the way to her hotel all the way to her floor all the way to her door and keeper goes guys let's just do one night with just us and they go all right and then we walked away was he dating her at that time nobody met her on there and then they um

they got they got or they were engaged and then it was called engaged that's right and right her away because i remember him on the show she a runaway bride had i didn't even remember that story she was a runaway bride from jason patrick yeah something weird happened Yeah, you was, when he was on the show, I think it was before you got on there. And he goes, yeah, have you ever heard of this comedian, Danny Spiddler or David Spade? Oh, David Spade? Oh, yeah. He goes, that guy's pretty funny, man.

That's how he probably got me on SNL. You didn't. No, I was, you know what I was telling someone the other day is I read for moving because they told me they like that movie. And I said, I fucking read for it. And I was living, I think, with Dana. And then Dana just got it offered, of course, and he did it. And I was like, fuck. Well, moving with Richard Pryor, so I play kind of a psychotic who looks very normal.

And Richard Pryor hires hires me to help him move across the country. I'm going to drive his car. And I'm out of my mind, basically. But the director was really cool. He just let me ad lib all my dialogue and stuff. And then there's this scene where Richard seems very tired. He's not really being Richard Pryor. So he pulls me aside.

He goes, Richard's just not in it today. Can you try to get him riled up? So I'd only been on SNL like 18 months. And now suddenly I've got to go get Richard Pryor, who I waited on at the holiday end 10 years previous. I got to get them all amped up. So that was kind of a fun challenge.

I could say more, but it'd be tails out of the turn. Tails out of turn. What does that mean? I don't know. It sounded a turn. I had a turn of tails, but you would have been great in that movie. What part were you reading for in fucking yours, dude? You would have been great in that.

Would you have been as good as me? I don't know. I go that asshole. You might have been as good as me. That's right. You won a I heart radio award. What do you mean? I'm just doing that.

Isn't that what that is? This is, it's very, very heavy, but. I saw you carrying it. Just walk around, ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Whoop me about my trophy. All right, let's look at another story. Let's do a story. Come on, man.

Let's check our ad living. Okay. Oh, this is okay. Don't even look, Joe. We trust you with our lives, brother. $900,000. What's your number, Hannah? I want to know it.

I think it's higher than yours. You press that. I see you, nine hundred and four. Oh, the beast. Please do not click the button. Oh, my gosh, it's a lot of money. Guys, come on. If you press that button, I...

Oh. Good rack, focus. I don't know how to... I haven't seen the show, but I will see it now. They all lost. They're out. And you get the names. trust you with our lives brother.

$900,000. What's your number, Han? I want to know it. I think it's higher than yours. You press that. I send you $940,000. Your integrity is now for sale. Well, so in essence, I, well, I've never seen it, but that he can portray the team.

Yeah. I guess there's a. Beast, yeah. And a Beast game. Mr. Beast is a beast. He knows what he's doing. Like when these guys are like, I'll just pay it out of my pocket because I'm so rich. But he says, I guess.

You know, it's one of these challenges, but then he throws in, I'll give you a million dollars right now. If you just, everyone loses and you win on your team. And he's like, done. Dige. I got slow motion. Then he falls down in shame and everyone goes, what? They've been there for days. What?

Like, like a monkey for a second. Oh, what? Wow. So couldn't he then get the money and share it with the team? Oh, I'm sorry, you're doing a slow motion. This is the team when he presses the button. Right. And then fucking primate comes in and rips them apart.

Primate your money. What's a matter with Ben? Ben's acting weird since he took that potion. Ben's not cute anymore. Ben, you should trim his fingernails. Ben's fingernails are 30 inches long and they're sharp. It's just funny to give animals human names. Ben was the rat in the movie, Ben, with Michael Jackson singing the songs.

Yeah, you got like a parrot. Hey, Sebastian. Fuck you. I do like people name their animals so weird just to get attention. If you had a dog, what would you call it? Big. That's what people do. They go, I have a duck named dog.

But actually, Ben scared me because there was a movie called Willard when I was little. A rat. And then the next one, where Willard ends, Ben begins. It was rats taking over New York City. Yeah, kind of a sad loser in a movie. And then he gets all these rats that are like his friends. And they're terrorizing and killing people all over. I mean, it's thousands of rats.

And then he locks that bad guy in a room. And then he yells at the rats. He says, tear them up. And then one of the rats says, Mr. B says, If you don't tear him up, I'll have all the rats die and I'll give you a million pieces of cheese. And he goes, boom. All the rats go, squeat, squeak, squeak. I'm thinking of a game show.

Why would we know what we're talking about anymore? We can't even follow the threat of what we're talking about. I'm going to have a show called Mr. Beastie and I'll be Mr. Beastie. And there'll be people competing and betraying each other. Just thought of it. I don't know why. I have one that you might not want to watch. It's called Mr. Beastiality.

And what I do is. How about a game show called Besties where best friends betray each other? Yeah. I love that guy that betrayed everyone. And they did this slow rack focus, each person looking down. And he goes, good douche. That's one of your, that's in rotation of one of your side. That's a good noise.

Is that you're talking about. Good douche. because you can use good douche for a lot of different things but in that case it was slow motion push good douche so you don't even need the sound effect you just say the word is the sound effect you hit it it goes good i would have just gone slippery abraham me and voice mail each other and just go giddish good douche that's so let's do one banger. Oh no. Actually, don't play this one because I saw this and I never knew this, but it's a little grim. I'll just tell you the story. Okay. It's not one to end on. Actually, I won't tell you. Actually,

let's move on. Well, JFK Jr. and lovely Carolyn Bessette, I met it. I met with Marcy Klein at S&L. She would come to the other. They were flying and you know the story. I know the story. I never knew. Anything else other than they went down and that little wherever they went. It wasn't Chavacquenna, was it? Well, that was the girl that drove off. This was another Kennedy, the younger one that guy's just playing. And this guy says he was there. The argument is he's not old enough because it was a while ago.

But whoever was there said in that situation, because of the seatbelt, you can be in half. And they never reported it because it was too grisly. So that's my job. This is terrific. I don't know how you aggregate these clips, but this is- It came across my desk and I said,

you've ruined my day, and now I will ruin Damon's day. Look, I've been watching the pit where people come in that are in half, literally. I know, see, you already grossed me out with that stupid show. The show is addictive and brilliant. Noah Wiles, Wiley.

Noah Wiley is extraordinary in it. And the whole cast, I can't say enough about it. I got my housemaid in the movie theater, television, the pit, and of course, number one with a bullet over the whole dome of show business

is Billy Bob Thornton in Landmine. God damn it. what the fuck's going on season is getting razzed for being a little dropping off do you have any comments on that day i just said billy bob thornton's rants are extraordinary alley carter plays this heli larder is that it sorry i won i was one letter away allie larder is great as the wife and they have a really funny thing and then sam elliott is just also brought a lot of to it you better do it now because pretty soon you won't be around to do it well god damn it i don't want to get all bummed out every fucking day i've got to go drive drive to waco i'll go with you fuck you will

i got an impression for you okay so we'll end on this because this is good okay so when i was talking to nicky about trying to throw her some jokes for the uh golden globes just you know it's kind of a fun thing to do yeah yeah uh one of um was Laura Dern. Every joke stars Laura Dern, unbelievable actress. You have to be like you. Well, that's.

And then you go, Laura Dern is in two movies, Jake Kelly, and is this thing on where she plays the sad, beaten down wife of the idiot star husband who has two lines every eight pages.

And in one movie says, you can do this. And the other movie, she says, you can't do this. That's a lot of subtext, but it's funny, though. What made me laugh just as a comedian occasionally was how sincere she was, Nikki, with, you're great.

I love you. You're so great. And that's just complete. You're so great. You've seen this trashy horror in this movie? And you're like, wait, was that me? That's great at one second. I'll say you've got to do it.

That's the roast. Kevin Hart is here. kept legendary con you're legendary you're all great i mean you are i am such a fan the fact that you are a pedophile doesn't bother me at all no i'm serious you are terrific and you know it's just i yeah very funny she was great anyway let's sign off we had a lot of fun today yeah we made another pancake another 10 out of 10 we did it yeah and uh to all our i heart nominees All the other shows, good luck.
