Everyone I know is on the road. They always are like, we stayed in Airbnb and that's just a more common thing you hear all the time. Hotels are great, but come on. I mean, when you can just pick everything about it, you want like, here's my hotel today. They didn't even give me my breakfast. Like Airbnb, wake up, whip it up in your kitchen.

Yeah, and get a kitchen, get a pool, whatever you want. And it's all custom and you just go online and you see how it's rated and what people like. And so I guess I'm gonna say it's just freedom. Yeah, listen, you got more space, more privacy. You can be closer to where you wanna be. Yeah, I was staying at really nice hotels that I like in this area that we would go to,

and then we found like a little house. So you kinda had a house, you know? And it was spotlessless and you just drive up and you get the key out of this thing, you go in and there's a bottle of wine and a note. And it's just a great experience. Yeah, the people don't have to, I don't think, but they always seem to put little extras in there for you.

For your next adventure, people listening, maybe give it a try. They won't regret it. You make the switch from traditional hotels and let us know. With the Fizz loyalty program, you get rewarded just for having a mobile plan. You know, for texting and stuff.

And if you're not getting rewards like extra data and dollars off with your mobile plan, you're not with Fizz. Switch today, conditions apply, details at fizz.ca. Hello there everybody. This is Dana Solo. It's a little scary. My partner in crime, David Spade, is flying right now.

He's flying to Singapore today to do a corporate date. No, I made that up. But anyway, I'll give you a little taste of him if you miss him. Woo-hoo! Bop-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop. Everybody's like, wah-wah-wah-wah-wah. Anyway, that's my David's pain.

Our guest today, where David is on the interview was really a blast. We put him in one of our favorites, Ike Barinholtz, who was on Mad TV for like seven years, I think, did all these characters. He's got a big, a big resume, the Mindy project, and currently running point on Netflix with Kate Hudson, Chet Hanks, that's pretty cool, Justin Theroux. So we go through all those shows, we go through his career. He has a Nepo dad, you'll find out about that. And he is sort of a brainiac. He's one celebrity jeopardy and who wants to be a millionaire and raised literally babillions millions for charity. So very

fun, a hard laugher came to play so I think this one will cheer you up for sure. Ike Barinholtz, everybody. I can't wait for the 50th anniversary of this five days. Yeah. I skipped the SNL 50th, man. Had something to do. Wait, were you, I was wondering, you must've had like, you must've had the flu or something. Yeah, I had the flu that was lingering.

So I was kind of by the day of the show. I felt great. But I was three thousand miles away. Yeah. But but yeah, when I had to make the call, it's like, I don't have the often. You know, yeah, no. Do you think he doesn't have the we don't want him. Marcy, look up oomph. No, it's a Scandinavian word for laissez faire, I believe.

For lazy fair. Did you audition for SNL? We don't have any outline. We have a lot to talk about. So I did not audition for SNL. In like 1998, I remember people from NBC came to Improv Olympic to watch, to scout. I remember, oh my God.

And it was the worst too, because the owner, God bless her, Sharna, she invited like 50 of us to go on stage at once. So everyone was like, you're pushing people aside to do do a character. Subway scene. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. Trying to like stage house sickening.

Yeah, it was, it was just reprehensible. But so then I moved to Amsterdam for a couple years and then when I came back, I was like, I want to do SNL, but before SNL, I even auditioned, I got cast on MADtv. And so I was kind of there. Basically the same thing. So you're doing sketches and you stayed there a long time though, right? Are you one of the longest? I was there, I'm, I'm, I'm, no.

There's different versions online, by the way. The last one I got before this was 2002 to 2007. That's, that's right. That is five years. There was others 2009 to two, I mean, there's. I mean, it's a very important information. So it's natural. There's going to be discrepancies online about it.

Mine says 1886 to, it's gotta be wrong. Oh man, I did an amazing impression of Rutherford B. Hayes that really got me passed on it. That guy gets literally no press. Wow, I do them too, by the way. I've done them. Just, just give me a second.

Now I'm in your Rothschilds. I'm Ruth-a-P Hayes. Ruth-a-P. President of, who's the P.A. President of this here United States. I don't say it's accurate, but it's the stab. I'm Ruth. Ruth. Ruth. So were you like, did that disappoint you at all that you weren't on SNL or you're just glad to be on a sketch show every week and pay? My dream was to always be on SNL. We grew up in a very SNL heavy home. Uh, like we, we, I said, my earliest memories are watching like, uh, like Eddie Murphy, uh, the 83 year, uh, with like Billy Crystal and stuff. So we were obsessed with it in our house.

And when you're in the comedy scene, especially the improv scene in Chicago in the nineties, that's your goal. especially the improv scene in Chicago in the 90s, that's your goal. But listen, man, I was bussing tables at Morton's on La Cienega. And it's no longer there, sadly. That's cool. Bus boy. Bus boy, bus boy. We've all been bus boys. The hardest job in the world, bus busing tables. It's so hard. I'm especially there because there's so many famous people, you know, and you're like kind of like starstruck. Like one time I saw Pete Rose there and I was so excited, you know, then I walked past him and he grabbed my arm and goes, hey, give my wife a Diet Coke.

Get out of here. I was like, okay. Get out of here that fast? Jesus. And you said, hey, Pete, I just won 20 bucks. I promise that guy you would say, get my wife a diet Coke. I bet you can't finish that rib eye Charlie. Oh boy.

But it was, it was, it was, you know, to get an offer to be on, on a TV show, especially a sketch comedy show was, was just a dream. So I was just kind of like, great, let's do it. And there was really great writers there. Great, some great performers. A lot of great people came out of it. You were with Bobby Lee around then too.

He's funny. I see him a lot. Oh, my friend. I know you're friends with Bobby. You've been friends with Bobby for a very long time. Which I love that. Business acquaintances, yes. And Josh Myers,

Zeth's brother, right? The great Josh Myers. Yeah, Josh Myers and Michael McDonald was still there. Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key came while we were there. Nicole Parker. Oh, you did have a big fat cast at that time. Yeah, we had a big fat cast. Dude, I like that when I look at your impressions.

When does Beau Bice impression come up these days? Not as much as before. Yeah, you have some quirky impressions. Can we get a few? The off label obscure. Carrie Underwood, right? Is that him? Rutherford B. Hayes.

Beau Weiss, oh my God. I mean, I'm still doing it a lot, obviously. I shouldn't say this, but I feel like Beau Weiss, if you told me he stormed the Capitol, I'd be like, obviously. I shouldn't say this, but I feel like Bo Weiss, if you told me he stormed the Capitol, I'd be like, yeah. Bo Weiss is typecast. But yeah, Mad TV definitely did a lot of impressions of the moment. Of course, we got stuck with that too.

It's like whoever that week, like go around the room, can you cover this one? Can you, and you just have to work on something close. Was there ever one that you guys were like bummed that you're like, this is obviously, this is a bad impression, I don't wanna do it? Oh, it's, they're so hard. You know, usually during the primary seasons, politically,

they'd say, you know, you're John Lickwick from Pennsylvania circuit four, and then you look at the impression like, know, you're John Lickwick from Pennsylvania circuit four. And then you look at the impression like, hi, I'm John Lickwick and you know, there's no hook, you know, and then lawmen say, are you ever going to get representative John Lick Nick? And I said, no, I said, Lauren, no, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen.

But the key to impressions, if you can't do it, just say the name of who you're doing right at the get go. Oh yeah. That's it. I'm John Liknick and they don't know. But what was your best one? I'm just curious that you thought was the most accurate because I saw you did Arnold.

Oh, but my Arnold was not great, especially that was a huge bummer because Will Sasso was on the show. I really kind of like replaced him and he did the funniest Arnold. So then I had to come in and do my kind of half-baked one that wasn't that great and it wasn't funny and it wasn't as funny as Will's. Well, it's already good. But Will's was like a tour de force.

I kind of look like Mark Wahlberg. So, sometimes I do a Mark Wahlberg, come in, come and sit down. Maybe I'll give you a knuckle sandwich if you're lucky. Yeah, that's it. But there was a lot of times too, where I would just get, I remember one time I got a sign, they were doing a Frasier parody. And the writer's like, you're going to play John Mahoney, who was the father on Frasier, who was a great actor. And I was like, I can't play, he's like, who was the father of Frasier, who was a great actor. And I was like, I can't play, he's like an older man. And I remember sitting in,

we did a lot of prosthetic makeup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think more than that. And I remember sitting in makeup for like two hours as they're aging me and I was complaining so much and I was on set and I only had like three lines and one of them was, I'm John Mahoney. And I complained so much that they cut down my lines where I only said that in the sketch. three lines and one of them was I'm John Mahoney and I

Complained so much that they cut down my lines where I only said that in the sketch Five hours of prosthetic Makeup six hours to get it off getting it off when I put that like alcohol directly in your eyeball and they're like Oh, yeah, I'm such a colossal puss. When I do movies and they're like, or SNL even, but you hear about these people that are in makeup chair for nine hours a day, I'm like, well, what are you shooting? Like you shoot one half a scene and then go home and undo it all?

Like you're only legally allowed to shoot so long and you get all this shit on, look like the blob and then you, for the penguin. I would just say I'm going to sleep Yeah Give you a head start Who's the guy who plays the penguin now a nice-looking movie star? Yeah, and it's like he's a some agent somewhere's going you're throwing away your good looks. You got good looks you're behind rubber

I can't monetize this kid. But I, you know, so. He got enough good looking parts. Now he's, now he just won something for the penguins. So. I want to actually come up with a lit cigar at some point. It's like, it's a magic trick. Hey.

Well, I know you're, I know, I know you're from your Rafael Palmaro. I like they bother putting that in your Wikipedia. What the hell is a Rafael Palmaro? I think it's a baseball player. He was a baseball player for the Texas Rangers and he was like a big steroid guy and he kind of famously went in front of Congress

and was like, I did not take steroids. So we did like a parody called like, oops, I just took steroids or something. I can't remember what it was, but that was another impression that I still am getting a lot of love for. People are constantly asking me to do a baseball player who retired in 1996. What did they do the thing like?

Cause I noticed when the Mark McGuire and those went up to Congress that they were so roided up. By the time they got to Congress, they didn't bother to buy fitted suits. So like they got little pencil necks and giant suits and it was so awesome. They were bursting through. Gigantic suits.

I'm totally natural. Looked like David Byrne. I'm wearing a 52 large and now I weigh 160 pounds, but I'm telling you, I did nothing. That 290 I put on. But I know my head is three times the size of a normal man's. I know that Senator Lutnick. I have a huge jaw and forearms for no reason.

I love the callbacks. It was representative, but well, it was your character. I loved it. Well, he became a senator. You know, he became a senator. I'm going to run with it. So you, you did a lot of work before he got on MADtv and you went to Amsterdam for two, who went with you to Amsterdam? So I was there. So there was a theater that a bunch of dudes in Chicago started because like Dutch comedy back in the day was very- Josh Myers, right? They love- Yeah, Josh Myers was there.

Seth Myers was there and I kind of came in right after him. But I was there with Brendan Hunt, who I don't know if you guys watched Ted Lasso, he's coached here. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, I love that guy. Yeah, and then while I was there for about, just about two years and we had great people come through

So Dacus came through there for a year to the cakes peel Suit of cakes was there Jordan peel Okay, Kovsky Kate Cannon who directed me in blockers Amber Ruffin just all these really Really funny people and it was a really fun time too because it was like Before like it was like before 9-eleven. You know what I mean? And it was a really fun time too, cause it was like before like,

it was like before 9-11, you know what I mean? Like it wasn't the Euro yet. It was, it was the Gilder. Yeah. So it was really nice. And I still talk to a lot of the sex workers I befriended while I was there. We still keep in touch.

Sex workers, okay. It does, Dutch accent is tricky, but the Myers brothers, Josh, and is that, didn't they live there in high school or something? They have a big affinity for it. Well, they just, they just really like, Josh kind of went native for a while and dated like a Dutch woman for a long time. And yeah, the Dutch people as a people, they're very like reserved.

They're very, but they're very honest. Like they're, they would come up to you after the show and be like, I did not think you were the funniest one. I thought your black friend was funnier. But the woman, the woman, the song about sex was very good as well. So congratulations and goodbye. And you're like, thank you.

And goodbye. If I had a dollar for every time my wife said that because she's half Dutch. Her dad was Dutch and she says, I listened to the podcast and I was a terrific guest. You were not at a 10. You were a little bit late there. I don't know why you were late. The representative Lutnak comeback was very entertaining. I'll see you at dinnertime, bitch.

So when did you start feeling like, just either as a kid or high school, like, I think I should do this. I'm good at this. Because on your Wikipedia page, it said, considered to be a lawyer or a politician. Okay. Yeah, grown up in Chicago. I mean, my goal was representative luck, Nick, when I was a child. But as I got older, I went to college

and I knew I didn't wanna be in politics. I was a terrible student in college. And I kind of eventually got kicked out of college because I stopped going to class. And I was drawn to acting and I was drawn to comedy, but I didn't know where to start. And my dad took us to see the Improv Olympics, I think like their, maybe their 15 year anniversary,

their 10 year anniversary. And I saw Improv for the first time. And I saw Adam McKay and I saw Amy Poehler and specifically the person who made me laugh so hard that I was like, I need to do this was Tim Meadows. He is to me like one of just the funniest people in the world. And watching him on stage just kind of enter a scene

and make a random joke and got such a big laugh. I was like, I'm signing up for improv classes. I got to do it. So that was it. I was like 18 at the time. And I was, I really kind of jumped all in. I got to do it. So that was it. I was like 18 at the time and then I was, I really kind of jumped all in. It was so much fun. And you're 18 at that point. And how old were you when you got Med TV? Was that kind of your biggest break? And then you went from there? Oh, that was my first break. Yeah. I got Med TV. I was probably 25ish. Yeah. Okay. Wow. And it was

great. I was making that late night money, which when you're broke, you're like, I'm basically Steve Jobs. And then as you learn, you're like, oh, late night money is terrible. It's not. In the grand scheme of show business, you know, acting is not good.

But you're on a job. You worked with Del Close. That was Farley's guy. He used to talk a little. Yeah, man. Oh yeah. I hung out with He used to talk a little. Yeah, man. Oh yeah, I hung out with Farley a couple times. Oh good. I got to meet him a couple times.

And he was like my idol, you know? Like I loved him so much. And I remember one time he came, I was a busboy at Second City. And I remember he would come in once in a while and he was always so nice. I'm gonna finish that bread. He was Midwest nice.

Midwest, Wisconsin nice. Wisconsin nice, yeah. And one night he came up to me and was like, hey, you know where Johnny is? You know, his brother Johnny. And I was like, oh yeah, he's at this party, I'm Lincoln. He's like, you wanna go? Can you take me there?

And I'll never forget. I turned to my. Really? So he says that. Go ahead, go ahead. Finish this story. So I turned to my friend, my buddy Brian from high school. It's like, hey, do you,

I quit. Can you take me and Chris Farley to this party? And he was like, what, what? And we went there and we were, I remember we parked and we're walking right under the L tracks train tracks and Chris is like, I gotta pee. I gotta pee. And I was like, I gotta pee too.

And we started peeing and I remember he turns to me and goes, want to play swords? You know, and I was like, yeah, yeah. And I kind of turn him or kind of, you know, mixing our urine. Right. And he just kind of turns and just sees kind of on my foot. He goes, I cut your foot off. So,

I'm laughing so hard. I couldn't like, I couldn't metabolize. David, you knew Chris well, did you ever sword fight with him? Story check. Did you guys sword fight? But yes, that sounds like classic buffoonery. I think, I'm not just saying this cause I'm on this podcast right now.

I think this weekend we're gonna show, I have three daughters from six to 12 and I think we're gonna show them Tommy boy this weekend. Oh, okay. It's the 30th anniversary I heard. Oof. Maybe 20th. That's a bummer when you,

I heard it's the 15th actually, it just came out. I would never say anything higher than 15. That sounds sickening. I don't know. I can't believe I've been around 30 years to do anything. Like, oh, gross. You look really good though, man. Like you're really hanging on.

Like it's a lot of people, like they get smashed by the wall, but you're looking good. Unbelievable. Thank you, buddy. Look at this. You're welcome, man. I got my new sweater on, trying to zhizh it up for you. Yeah, it's good.

It's the beard. It's very good. It's working. Tommy Boy is pretty much sure fire, I think, for your kids. I hope, yeah. It is. I'll probably just hit a quick fast forward on the scene where you're... Oh, that's right. You know, yeah. It is, I'll probably just hit a quick fast forward on the scene where you're,

oh, that's right. You know, sometimes they take that out of, when it's on TV and stuff, and I never knew that. And I'm like, oh, there's a couple of things they just pull out of movies where you're like, oh. Yeah. So some people never see that part. Yeah, if you're watching it on TBS, that's not in there,

but we're gonna go ahead and pay the Apple TV. You'll probably be getting a little check in the mail. You're welcome. It's not a competition, but if something doesn't work out or it doesn't quite fly, you pop in Wainsworth. One or two, but it's not a competition. I'm just saying I love Tommy boy. I think it's a classic, but if it doesn't work out,

you're like, what do we do? Well, let's not surf the web or go on Instagram. Let's put in. I have been pitched Tommy Boy 2, and I'm telling you, I always go, you have heard the news about Farley, and they're like, yeah, but it would still, and I'm like, it would still be what? Can't do it without Chris.

It would still be what? I mean, it without Chris. It would still be what? I mean, you don't think that was 99% of them. They're like, it's about, and I'm like, oh, just a good solid brake pad movie? Do they push back at the co-star who knew Chris better than anybody? I know, I said, well, I can't do it, you can get someone else.

Yeah, Syke. I think it's a prequel where you go back to the founding of Callahan Auto Parts. Oh, okay. And you have basically someone playing like- Young. Young Brian Dennehy. Oh, you go way back, okay.

You go way back, yeah, so this is way before Chris. This is really what you're looking for. 100 years before that. Instead of looking for a modern day Chris Farley, which is impossible, you find a modern day Brian Denney. A young Brian Denney. Which I think is doable. I think that is doable.

That's interesting because looking at all your stuff, you're a writer. Right. A real writer, not a comedian who hogs it in the room. Not some bullshit. And you're a co-producer, co-writer of your current project. Now, how do you say it, Dana? Now, I'd say that's the best pitch for a Farley,

for a, that I've heard for a Tommy Boy sequel. You slap on executive producer, you do a cameo like, like Stallone in Staying Alive with Travolta, and you do that little turn and it's David Spade. Oh, boom. And then you walk, yeah, boom, boom. So much booms coming.

That's all I'm- Do you like money? Do you like money? Do you like dollar bill? You like money? We're asked that a lot by our agents and managers. I don't think I want to fly to Malaysia for a one-nighter. Guess you don't like money.

Guess you don't like money. Well, do you want to go with me? Spade likes money? Ah, that'd be a no. Do you want to do impressions of Joe Biden for the Saudi royal family? Because I don't. Well that, because they don't care what they pay. No tax. We pay the tax. We paid the shitbox golf for 400 million. He can't make a putt.

My friend, you are going to go home with this lion. Yes. It will fly with you on the plane. We kill you on the way back to the airport. So we get it all back. The key to that is my friend. That's it. My friend. My friend, listen to me, my friend. We are going to make you so rich if you want to be rich. And I'm from Denver. I just adopted this accent by watching too much Alibar's Italian. Too much. All right, go ahead. Running, running point. Now there, I've heard it both ways.

Like I think it's running point and people say running point. I thought it was the, the, uh, the mediocre rascals. It wasn't that the name of it. That was the name we tried to get. The mediocre rascals. I decided to be the little rascals own any rascals. That's right. And Eddie Murphy would have a bone to pick.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Luckily we get involved. It's whatever you want it to be. You could say running point, you could say running point, you could say running. Yeah. Because there is something when people go, you're going to run point on this job or whatever on this client. So I call it running point and no one else does.

I call it, what's the point? No, no, no, I was just going to say, okay, I got to put this in. I'm going to watch it on Netflix. I watch the pilot. He thinks it's a VCR. All right, put this in. I'm gonna watch it on Netflix. I watch it on pilot. He thinks it's a VCR. All right, pop it in. I'm from the 80s. I mime it, even if I'm clicking on digital.

And you guys nailed it. It's very, there's a genre of that kind of workplace fun, single camera. And I honestly was thinking to myself last night, I don't feel like these people are acting, they're having fun. So whatever you, I mean, you kind of, you're renewed for a second season.

Whoops. We got, my sources told me we were picked up for another season. Beep, beep, beep. Oh. But you do some whoops. You're part of putting it together or is this? You're our executive producer with Mindy Cowan. Yeah, Mindy came to my partner Dave Fast and I and was like,

you guys love basketball. We work together the Mindy Project. We have this show that I think could be a funny kind of family business show at a basketball club. And we loved her. We had such a fun time working with her and it had been a while and we had just finished up a thing. And so we, we kind of spent a long time kind of breaking the show and what it could be. And, and, uh, we kind of, it became very, very real when Kate Hudson was like, I want to play this part. Cause that was like, wow, that's a real, that's a real no fooling movie star. Yeah. Um, yeah.

She's fantastic in it. And you got Justin Theroux too, who's just too cool for school. Friend of the show. He's so cool. Friend of the show. Yeah. He's my best dressed friend. He does dress cool.

Yeah, and it's just like, I think he has clothes that are like all bespoke, like little leather jackets that are only made for him. His arm is a speakeasy. Can I throw something about, this has been a thing that I've taught, we talked to Justin about it. I just have a thing that like he would be the perfect guide

in a Rod Serling biopic. Oh my God, he looks so much like him. He really does. To play that vibe, but I don't know, it doesn't have to happen, but I just, yeah. Picture if you will. Picture if you will. Like.

Picture if you will. He did night gallery. A tiny leather jacket. Picture if you will. Dracker Cologne. Well, I love that he's so polite. I can't think of the other stuff. Instead of think of this was the first thing.

Think of this. Then he't think of the other stuff. Instead of think of this was the first thing. Think of this. Then he said, picture if you will. I watched two episodes of Twilight Zone yesterday. Which one? Wally Cox with the first AI woman that falls in love with him. Wally Cox from an old TV show, what? Hollywood Squares?

Marlon Brando's best friend by the way. They would like have sex with the same woman at the same time. They were like very famously like coxmen together. He was on that show, Asuka Rose. You know, Wally Cox was on... Asuka Rose! You know, Wally Cox was on... Eskimo. Wally Cox was on... What did you say? Because I want to laugh.

Eskimos. Eskimos. Eskimo brothers. But Wally Cox was the bottom left square when I was a kid on Hollywood Squares. And I had no idea he was an Eskabro with all these famous people. I just thought he and Paul Lin were funny, you know. So. Oh, that's tremendous.

Smells like pussy in here, I think. Yeah. Smells like, that was repeated. Oh, fuck it. But anyway, back to your show, Scared Straight. What? So you get Goldie Hawn's daughter. Katie.

And Katie Hudson, who I think is tremendous. Amazing. And so much, like so fun. Like stories, like her stories are so crazy, you know, like, oh yeah, you know, it's my birthday. And I was crazy. Like Paul McCartney, you know, was there. And at one point he looked over to Barack Obama and told him this.

And I like, when people tell you those stories, I'm like, what do I have? I'm like, oh, really? Uh, you're like, this is all a pizza hut? One time Bobby Lee and I went to Las Vegas together. That's your story. And we couldn't find his pubes. Wow. So he couldn't go on that night. I've seen Bobby Lee naked more often

than I've seen my own wife naked. So I've seen him naked three times. Plot thickening. Bobby is hilarious. He is one of the fun, one of the all time funniest. He's got a very funny thing about him. He's got a great burn. He acts real serious and just looks over.

I like when he stops. And he does the death stare. In his podcast. And you know he's loaded up with something. Every other comment is racist and he just stares at them. And he doesn't say anything. I think I'm gonna take off. Yeah.

That's funny. Uh. Oh, by the way, Dana on a side note, you don't have to listen. Like when I was golfing with Lovitz the other day, I burned him because we were on the green and he was blabbing away and I was golfing with Lovitz the other day, I burned him because we were on the green and he was blabbing away and I was walking the other side of the green

and I go, oh, you're cutting out. And I've never used it in real life before, but it was good with Lovitz because he goes, I take offense to that and I'm sorry about your attitude. And then, but it was funny to say he's cutting out real life. Laughed at my own joke, then laughed at his. All right, go ahead, back to this guy. Some people say you're cutting out on me.

You're cutting out on me. I have a brother who says that to me. You're cutting out on me. Well, I'm not doing it intentionally, bitch. Oh yeah, they're mad at you. That's his affection. Hey, you're cutting out. You're cutting out on me.

It's not, what? So the show's a smash. Show is picked up, which is good sign. I thought you're in it a little bit, or where you as an actor. No, I'm not in it. I just kind of wrote it and was there while we were shooting it.

My dad is in it, my dad is an actor. He plays the family attorney in it. I saw it. My dad is in it. My dad is an actor. He plays the family attorney. I saw him. So maybe you saw him. The attorney on jury duty. Yeah, the judge. He played the judge on jury duty. And he always wanted to be in show business.

You get in show business. Now he's in show business. I got a Nepo dad. He has a good spot. That's cool, a reverse. I never heard of that. A Nepo, because a Nepo, I understand people get mad at Nepo babies. I don't, by the way. I think they're

good a lot of the time. They're fine. But, uh, but NEPO, everyone can get, yeah, everyone can get behind a NEPO dad. Yeah. Let them have fun. What are you, what are you gonna, and by the way, uh, who I think has a shit ton of charisma is Chad Hanks. Oh my God. That's the way someone says to me. It's like, I can't believe Chad Hanks is such a good actor. I'm like, his dad is Tom Hanks. That's the apple. I ain't going to fall that far from the tree.

If he's half as good, he's going to get a couple Oscars. Even if he only got three Oscars, that would be good. Yeah. Yeah. I only have, I only have two best original score for the brutally. Did you do that in peppy tune? I did it. That was, I did all of my little Casio keyboard.

I saw Ignora last night cause I had not seen it. Again with Ignora? I loved Ignora. What was the real name of it? What's it called? Anora. Anora, okay. Hard made, no disrespect. But I saw Ignora.

Ignora is some disrespect by the way. No, I only saw Dune II and Conclave of the nominees. How many have you seen? I loved both of them. I loved, I love Conclave. I love Dune II. I love the Nora and I love the Brutalist. And I think that's all I saw.

Will you watch the Brutalist again? Never. It's true. Never. It's very long. It's the feel bad movie of the summer. Yeah, it's really, it's brutal. But I really did think it was cool.

Was Dune too with the popes? No, the popes were, they had to get a new pope so they sequester him, not unlike a jury. They put them all in this big room in the Vatican. I love the pope. Don't you think he's a little- And then it's a Game of Thrones. He can't be Pope.

You need to be a little heavier. You can't have his stick figures of Pope. No anorexia of Popes. They need to be round. People want to look... Mercy! Mercy. With tons of free reality shows, you are totally free to watch what you love on Pluto TV.

And for me, that's Dance Moms, Bar Rescue, The Challenge, and Jersey Shore. All totally free on Pluto TV. Stream now, pay never. To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's largest potash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced.

It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. Can I ask you a question, Ike? Because you are our guest. Sometimes, one time the guest just clicked out. I've had enough. You're kind of a movie fan. Because well, one thing is you must be, I don't know if your IQ's been tested,

but I saw it. I mean, come on. You've won twice. Look at this shit twice with Jeopardy, a million dollars, Celebrity, Jeopardy. He won Jeopardy twice. Celebrity Wheel of Fortune or no, wait. Celebrity, who wants to be a millionaire? A millionaire, another million, played with your dad.

And then you win this one of them by referring to an obscure quote in Eyes Wide Shut or a reference in Eyes Wide Shut. Stanley Kubrick. Yes, yes. Tell that story. So I went on, I went on Celebrity Jeopardy. I won it.

I got the trophy right there. Did you go against Mandy? No, I went against, who did I play? I played Jaylen Rose. I played Constance Wu. I played Constance Wu. I played Simu Liu. I played Shang-Chi. He's the Marflete Barrow.

It sounds like it's a little stacked over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. I played, hold on, someone else. These are the people you smoked? Then in the finals for Celebrity Jeopardy, I went up against Pat Patton, who's a real smarty pants, Pat Oswald.

Oh, Pat Oswald. Yeah, he is. He's a definite pop culture. Yeah, he loves that. And then also, Will Wheaton, who you might remember from Stand By Me, Star Trek. Yeah, yeah. He still gets Stand By Me.

He still gets Stand By Me. Uh. Yeah, yeah. He still gets standbyed by me. He still gets standbyed by me. Uh, uh. Uh. Uh. Next gen, okay. I won that. So then I went back, they invited me on the Tournament of Champions,

which I thought was just gonna be like. Not to do with celebrities. You're going up against just babies. No celebrities. They threw you in there. Real, first time that happened. Whoa. First time that happened.

And I just, it was like a fate of cop life and I wasn't gonna win, so I was just gonna have fun and let these kind of sweet nerds destroy me. And I just kind of by a fluke won the quarter final. And the final question was, the final Jeopardy category was Roman poets. And I was like, oh shit.

I could nail that. I only know like one or two. And then I read like this, what the quote was. And I just, in my mind, I was kind of weighing them. And I thought of Eyes Wide Shut, because you remember the scene in Eyes Wide Shut where Nicole, they're at the party, they're at Sydney Pollock's party. Yeah.

And Nicole came in, that like really creepy European guy is like, hello, how are you doing? Have you ever read Ovid on the autumn love? And I was like, oh, Ovid, maybe it's Ovid. And so I credit Stanley Kubrick. Oh my God. How many times had you seen that movie? I've seen a lot.

I watched it with the family. We watched it once a week. With the kids? Every Saturday with the kids, we watch it. Wow, fun. We want them to understand that there is a Illuminati out there who are having secret sex partners. Do you have other Kubrick movies that you like?

The Moon Landing. The Moon Landing. Moon Landing, the JFK. Mm hmm. Ah, ah, ah. Ha, ha, ha. The moon landing. Moon landing the JFK. He supposedly filmed it, Dana. That was Oliver Stone. Oh, he filmed it. Oh, I see, okay.

You got it, you got it. I have been in a bit of a Barry Lyndon phase. Oh. Really, I don't know the last time you said it was. I have been on it. I remember seeing it when I was young and I was like, it's so long. But now when you watch it, it's hilarious, first of all.

And it's so beautiful. And Ryan O'Neill really was a really great actor. He was really good. I had the same thing. The standard was so high in the 70s with Kubrick and other movies that I saw it, didn't get it, saw it in the theater. I watched it a year ago by myself, just said, fuck it.

I'm gonna go revisit it. And the prologue, what was the afterwards they said, as such was life in 16th century France or whatever. And they're all gone now. And then I got the whole thing. And the physical comedy of that dance sequence he did. Oh my God. Which he just stepped right up to the tippy toe

of winking at us. Yeah, yeah. But that's a brilliant film. Atmospherically, you are completely submerged. Oh my God. Into it, and the cinematography is, you know. So anyway, David. And it's also very sexy.

And let's see, do you guys mind if we watch a couple hours of it real quick? We always talk about movies at some point. And I always say if you can only watch one movie tonight, you had to watch a movie tonight by yourself, Ike. What pops into your head? Yeah, this is different than my favorite movie, right? Like, I think it's different.

Yeah, not met, but what would you watch tonight? Tonight, if I was going to watch something. You have five seconds. I would watch Idiocracy. Oh, wow. Workplace comedy with Mike Judge, the director. Workplace comedy with Mike Judge. I was just watching a little of it on a flight last week,

and not sure I get parallels to the present, of course, but it is such a funny movie. And every time I watch it, it gets funnier and funnier. I would watch the Bridge at Remagen, World War II movie from the 70s. That's what I would watch. What's it called? What's it called? What's it called?

The Bridge at Remagen or Remagen, Remagen. No, I'm kidding. You don't have to watch that. What I really- But I wanna do it. Yeah, you was- I like, The Longest Day.

If you like World War II movies. That is a great movie, The Longest Day. But if you haven't seen, cause God rest his soul, Gene Hackman, if you haven't seen The Firm, you've seen itman, if you haven't seen the firm, you've seen it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's great. And that whole movie is fantastic. That movie is really great.

Like for like a legal thriller, that's a great movie. And he's unbelievable. Eleanor. No, that's the Pelican brief. That's that's his next movie. David, what would you what would you watch? And don't say Tommy Boyd And don't say Tommy Boyd. Don't say Tommy Boyd.

Don't plug the 30 minute movie. Don't say Opportunity Knocks. Josie and the Pussycats. All the classics. No, I don't. Dave's not a movie guy. When I get on a movie, when I get on a flight, I have to have a TV in the back of that chair.

And it just kills time. It's so great. So when I'm on a flight, they have new release. They have old ones. I always buzz through. I can't say the last one I saw, but I will say, I don't think they can call Fern Gully a new release on Delta, just shouting out.

Legally, I don't think they can. And I do watch, I will watch almost anything on a plane because you're stuck. So, God, what did I watch last time? Maybe that Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt. Oh, Edge of Tomorrow? Edge of Tomorrow. Oh yeah, that's a cool one.

I like that movie, I like science fiction. You got another thumbs up. Hey Dana, can I tell you something about Opportunity Knocks? I saw that movie opening night. Love it. And a kid I went to school with, elementary school, was one of the kids, the karate kid who beats you up. Because you shot that movie.

Yeah, Josh Livingston. I don't know if you remember him. In Chicago. In Chicago, yeah. So I saw that movie opening weekend, baby. I did the best I could. It was a bit of a tussle with creative forces. In Chicago. In Chicago, yeah. So I saw that movie opening weekend, baby. I did the best I could. It was a bit of a tussle with Creative Forces. But this goes full circle of this podcast.

So I'm doing the movie in Chicago. And so there's these two dudes playing, dude number one, dude number two. Maybe they have a line. They look like they're in their 40s or early 50s. And I'm just talking to him at lunch and whatever. And I didn't know one of them was the infamous improv guy. You mentioned earlier, the godfather of improv. So he's moonlighting, getting a check on this silly romantic comedy. And, uh, I didn't know till later, I was talking to Del Close.

He had no, he didn't never kind of go, well, you know what? I, uh, I kind of started improv in Chicago. No, he was very, very cool. And that checks out cause he was always like broke. So he would, whenever they were shooting a movie in town, he would get up, you know, the directors would call him. He's teaching. And he was also like, you know, an heroin addict for a long time. He wasn't like, he wasn't like, he didn't have his shit together, so to speak. But he was a really fascinating guy and I learned a lot from him.

And yeah, for a guy who, I think, touched so many people, he wasn't a name dropper around us. He never was like, oh, one time Bill Murray told me. He was just like very, like, he was just like very like, he was cool. Mike Myers always would refer to down close, you know, just so Mike was big. Yeah. Yeah. I have an Mike Myers who by the way is an enemy of the state right now because he's Canadian. So you guys should reach out to him because they're coming after him. Yeah. Well, I did Elon Musk for 28 seconds on that show and got a little chatter from him. And so now Mike's doing this sort of Monty Python ask avant-garde version.

It's really funny. He's running, he's turning, he turns himself off. He's like, but yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll have him on tomorrow to discuss his. Yeah. And if you guys could shelter him, that would be nice. Yeah. Because he's going to need help. We will...

Remember shelter in place during the pandemic? Shelter in place. Do you remember the pandemic? Wherever you are, shelter in place. Do you mean the plan-demic? Yeah. Can I bring up a video of Anthony Fauci that I made? It's a jib jab.

Where he kind of admits the whole thing was a hoax. It's a jib jab. I want to hear it. I want to see a jib jab. You know my Anthony Fauci bit that day. I know I told you if you had two shots, I just do this guy for him. You'd be dancing in the streets. I missed it by a little much. A little bit. Who knew it was a mutating mother? That's why I'm introducing the Daily Shot, Anthony Fauci's Daily Shot. Every single day you go to your health care provider. By the time you get to your car, you don't have any immunity, but it's a beautiful 39 seconds.

He's he's a doctor. He's supposed to be like, you know, have an academic voice. And he sounds like he's trying to sell you like a Pontiac in New Jersey. Let me get you in this Lesaber. From the bottom of my all new leather fowl cheese. Go fuck yourself. I just did that for myself. You are a great audience, Ike.

You must be fun in the writer's room and you're a great writer. I have a serious question for Ike before we get rid of him. Please. You were shooting the movie Blockers, which I think I just met your director recently. We had a- Oh, Kay Cannon. Yeah, super cool guy.

He's also friends with Theo. Wait, Kay Cannon directed Blockers. Oh, maybe. That's a lady. Maybe he wrote it? Or did you write it? Oh, there were, oh yeah, no, there were other writers. There was- Okay, it was one of the 40 people that wrote it or did you write it? Oh, there were, oh yeah, no, there were other writers. There was-

Okay, it was one of the 40 people that wrote it. So he's friends with Theo pretending to be part of the film blockers and he was on the set. And, but it says, because I have a bad neck and you fucking did a stunt, you hurt your- Oh yeah. God, that's the worst on a movie too. Yeah, it was a bummer. Um, you know, what dick joke were you doing where you fell?

It was a, I was trying to suck my own dick. It was like, it was an improv that I threw in there. Guys, let me, one take, keep the cameras going. Yeah. It happens. No, it was, it, right when it happened it happened, you don't even realize what's happening until before you know it, you have a doctor being like, hey, you fucked up your neck. And so I was really bummed, you know, but luckily, like, I really took the, I took like the rehab of it all really seriously. The worst part about hurting your neck, besides the fact that you could possibly paralyze is you have to wear a neck brace,

which we can all agree is an inherently common thing. Like when you see people in a neck brace, you're thinking like Christopher on the Sopranos or like John Lirichette on the night court. It's like a funny bit. Cause most of the times it's like nine times out of 10 when someone's wearing a neck brace, they wear rear end. And, and, but this one, it was a more involved one

that was like had braces and buckles and stuff. Oh no. Yeah, that was rough. That was really rough. Because like I would see friends of mine, people on the street too, who don't even, I don't even know them, would walk up to me like, oh my God, what happened?

How do you feel for your ex? And like, they feel for you, which is nice, but you're also like, I don't even, I don't even know him, would walk up to me like, Oh my God, what happened? How do you feel for your ex? And like, they feel for you, which is nice, but you're also like, I don't want to. I can't tell this fucking story. I don't want to talk about it. Yeah. I don't, I don't want to talk about it. You can tell us though. So yeah, so no, it was, it was a bummer, but it really, uh, I, every morning I

would wake up and they were like, you gotta do your, you've got to correct your posture, which is basically if you shrug your shoulders and put your arms up and then drop your arms, that feels crazy, right? But that's your proper posture. So I would strap that brace on and put on like a giant sun hat and just like walk up and down my block

for as long until my legs gave out. Basically, I was committed to mixing it without surgery, trying to hold it. So, and I didn't have to have surgery, and now watch this, ready for this? Oh, that's good. That's more than I can do. I can do the full Brady Bunch mobility.

Yeah. Can you crack your back just by yourself standing up? I can crack my sternum a little bit. But I read about a crazy person on TikTok that said you shouldn't be cracking and popping. I've seen those chiropractic on TikTok, but most of the time the people fart on the ones I get, but those are funny too. I get ones for dogs where it'll be like a guy. I don't like it. Like a hundred, 140 pound pit bull. And he's like, and you hear like a bomb go off

and the dog is like. Oh, dogs are not used to getting cracked. It's so weird. And then the dog's happy though. And runs away smiling. Is that cause I saw one of those. They don't know if they're happy. I think that there's an owner holding a piece of bacon.

Yeah, they don't. I don't buy it. I just don't do it to a gerbil. He's like this. And the gerbil is like, I was fine. By the way, who's complaining? I did it to a red ant. I was like, can you cut him in half?

And the ant was like, he's like, it's more my thorax. Luckily, I can regenerate. It's more my thorax. Well, a gentleman joins us here today, Mr. Ike Barinholtz. She's made quite a splash on the Mindy project, plays a character named Morgan Tookers. Is that funny? Ed Morgan Tookers, male nurse. Hello.

Hello. Please welcome Dan O'Neil. So I wanted to mention that because cause five years on the Mindy, tell us about Morgan, Morgan Tookers, cause we're gonna get letters. Why didn't you ask him about that? We're gonna get letters. We haven't even had, have we had Mindy on, Dana?

We should have Mindy on. Love to have her on. She would do this in a second. She's very fun. She loves to go out. She's like me, big ass in health, man. Let's book Mindy if possible. She doesn't have to talk about us now.

We won't put her to that. But if you could do it as Johnny Carson, that would be amazing. Well, let me do this for you. This is what I do now for friends. Johnny Carson gets pulled over for drunk driving in 1972. Oh, sorry, officer. I didn't know I was swerving.

I had two slippery monkeys at the hook and crook. Yes. Slippery monkeys at the hook and crook. Yes. Sorry. I had a tomato back, a tomato strawberry boom boom at the windy summit. I just like the drinks in the location at the windy summit. I had a double daiquiri up with a twist at the rusty nail. Copper penny is by Warner Brothers. He would have gone to that. All right, so.

And the rusty nail. And the rusty nail. And the desperate pillow is another good. Watering hole, the desperate pillow. But anyway, so those five years was big for you, right? Yeah, and it was so much fun. It was such a fun job. We had such a fun cast and writers.

It's like when a lot of my children were born while we were doing the show. And now it's so crazy. Now they're watching it. It's on Netflix or it was on Netflix. And now they're watching it and it's really sweet because you do stuff and you just kind of don't rewatch it for a long time

and then it comes back to you one day with your kids and they get to see me, you know, like farting so hard that my pants fall down. How old are the kids again? Uh, six is six, nine and 12. Okay. So there's still in the world of innocence and magic social Except they have social media, but still they're like- They do, but we don't, we, I really am like, you're gonna watch like SNL and Wayne's World

and Tommy Boy and the things that I loved. Because at some point they're gonna go online and watch some idiot online. So, and as long as they're in my house- Before they like the pranksters on TikTok, you have to give them some baseline. Hey, if I was running from president, I would sadly have to execute all TikTok pranksters.

I do not like pranksters. Or you're put in a gulag. Cause they're not even like clever pranks, man. It'll be like a guy, like an older man in a Home Depot, like trying to get like a bag of mulch. And they walk up behind him and like give him a wet willy and the guy's like, what the fuck? And then they run away and I'm like.

Or they hit him with a ball in the head and then they both look around like, what happened? I'm like, beat that guy's ass. I got hit too and it's like, you guys are now gonna break rocks for five years. Yeah, please. Let's see some pranks about that. I've seen when pranks go bad, I should send you one.

It's Instagram where it goes wrong and they get the shit kicked out of them. It's great. David, I have seen those and it mothers milk to me. Where a guy just starts wailing out there and he's like, it's a prank. It's a prank, it's a prank. Who cares?

Yeah, I've seen those too. Why would I be like, oh, you're not candid camera, you're some asshole. Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were disrupting my life for internet clouds. For your own fame, yeah. I'm gonna stop punching you in the face. Don't get me going, Ike.

Ike, now, I have to say, were you named after Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose nickname was Ike? I'm sure you've been asked this a billion times, but Ike is a very, my name's a little unusual. This one's for the fans, I've never discussed this before. He's never been asked. Never been asked. I will never discuss it again after this. It's very private, but I will tell you. No, my real name is Isaac.

Yeah, I know. There we go. It's a Jewish bummer. But I had a teacher, my favorite teacher, a guy named Kehoe, Mr. Kehoe. And he started kind of calling me Ike. And that's really when it just, I kind of became Ike. And Ike's kind of cool. It's very rare. It's rare. And they're most Ikes I think are good. Ike Eisenhower was an amazing president. Ike Turner was a really, really good guy. Ike Turner's the rough one, but you also have

Ike Austin, the center for the Miami Heat was very good. He was a good listener. Ike Turner early on had a vision and I think we can all agree he made some very bad decisions. But, and I don't like him. I think he's a bad guy. Good job. On the record with that? On the record, I want to just end the controversy.

Okay, it's 1223 Pacific Standard Time and I compare him. Ike Turner gets that. He votes no. Ike Barrett holds thumbs down. Come on, Zoom, put that thumb. Come on, let's do it. It doesn't do it when you really do it.

Look at, I got rain. Dana, look at that. Wow. Heather, did you see that? We don't know how it happens. It's just random. I can't. It has a special Zoom app.

Yeah, you know, it's spade world. It's cost a little more, but it's worth it. Yeah. All right, Ike, anything else, Danny, when it comes to this? Are there any final thoughts you want to do? Cause what the scared straight show or standing running? What is it?

It's called, it's called standing remotely. It says it right on top of it. I always hate when shows, uh, T themselves up for critics to slam it, you know, running, running points is more like whatever running away. Like happy times was anything but bad. Mom's more like bad movie. Yeah. That's really clever. They're so excited.

Don't go for that. Such a delicious. I just got to say when they, when I first heard you guys podcast, I listened to it. I was so excited being on this show. So much fun. You guys have made me laugh so much over the years.

It's really crazy. It's wild. It's wild. I'm putting you in the hall of fame of guests. Go laughs, not a fun. You were so lively, so much energy. You laughed at our jokes. Yeah, good laughs, a lot of fun. Only because you were so lively, so much energy, you laughed at our jokes.

Yeah, so hey, can I say suck it, Thoreau? Yeah, Thoreau. Oh, he's always in the hall of fame, man. Beat you. Yeah, well, let's have a little competition, make it healthy, make it interesting. And you're smart, no one knew that, that's great. No, I present very dumb.

Won two million dollars for charities on, and was a writer. No, I present very dumb. Won $2 million for charities. Oh, you gave it to charity. What are you going to keep? I always like a portion. I've started. I've started a foundation that I wet my beak a little bit. Yeah, I wet my beak a little bit. Yeah. I'll take a taste. I won't take all of it. I'll wet my beak a little bit.

Get a taste. Someone to some kids, someone to some poor people, someone to my boat. Yeah, something for the effort. I wet my beak is a great figure of speech. That's gotta be it. We gotta do a Sopranos remake, man.

That is a fucking brilliant thing. That's the best. That's the best. All right, boss, appreciate it. Look for Running Point. Running Point, you guys are amazing. All right, boss. Appreciate it. Look for Running Point. Running Point, you guys are amazing. Running Point, Running Point, Running Point, Netflix right now. Peace out. Please have me back.
