Don't be mad at my long hair. What's with the fluffy silver wings? Can you fly with that hair? Fly away. We just toned it down. We have a light behind me, but we tone it down.

It's actually kind of cool. I think it's kind of cool. I don't know why, but it was a happy accident. David looks like a little angel with this little angel. Right off the bat. Well, well, well. He's a sweet man. All right, there we go.

You can write that off for sure. We've had a break and now we're back. 2026. It's been a ride so far. 2026 is starting off a little slow, isn't it? I mean, yeah. I mean, I didn't, my big New Year's, we get right at it. Okay, all right.

We're in the realm we can talk about your big New Year's. I won't hear it. This year I said, I'm going to do it. I usually don't stay up late, but I go, I'm going to stay up till time. No, no. Yeah. Idiot. So I said 12 is sort of, I stay up until 12 four times a year.

It's very rare. If you do stand up, sometimes you just stay up if your sets late. Yeah. When I used to do the Mirage, we were for sure not even done until 12. Don't even say that triggers me. I'm up at 6 a.m. the hotel and then I'm going on and doing stand-up at 1045 that night and I can't nap so I'm 15 hours in a box waiting but the main thing was when I played it it was 122 no exaggeration all

the flights got canceled the hotel they said 40% canceled the audience is comatose and it was a bit slow they're just trying to live they just come there for shelter to your show yeah but basically they can go in there and it's air condition yeah but anyway that's so you new year's eve you stayed up well i'm saying when i used to it with ray romano at the mirage uh we wouldn't get off to on 12 because we do a meet and greet at the end and not a meeting greet we do a q and a so i did it too by the way i'm going out there with nicky glazer to ceasers uh it's in the new year's eve i don't know it's because i know you but i see the picture of you and nicky in the roman outfits yeah floating around they're in my purview i mean there i'll go ubiquitous and i go wait a minute

is it like eight shows it couldn't be more looking like a i that we are dressed like roman embers but we did it for real for caesar's we did a full photo shoot at at the colise even it's going to be great that's one in january i think one in may one in september but it's a weekend it's two nights Yeah, yeah, two shows. Other than that, just so everyone knows because everyone's been asking, when are you going in the road? Where are you going? I've got Salt Lake, San Diego in a week.

Can you give us dates? I would like to have him in my head. What are the dates? Thank you. I hate when people say that. I'll be in Toronto. When, bitch? When is?

I'll be outside of Toronto. Okay. So Salt Lake, what's the date? Salt Lake is next weekend. And then 1617, that's Salt Lake San Diego. Then I got Caesars the weekend after. Then a week off. Then we got.

Caesars is what? January 16th. 1670. Well, where's San Diego in there? That's the week before. But what's the number? What's the number, Heather? I'm a rain man.

No one fast forward. Yeah, got to know the number. It's minus seven days. It's next weekend. and Salt Lake and then a then a weekend of the 9th 10th then the end of the month is old Farley stomping Wisconsin doing Milwaukee Appleton and Chicago that's fun I've done that that run before sometimes I pepper in Madison because that's where Chris's from and uh sometimes I pepper in different ones but that's a good chunk got Philadelphia coming up we got a couple so you go

go to the david spade.com god when they do this on bad friends i always make fun of them and then now i do it oh i'm gonna be at in-and-out burger in van eyes uh saturday january yeah exactly i'm gonna be in the line at the in and out in Vegas uh the 48-minute line to get in but i will tell you so new year's eve i go i have to have garth comment okay yeah he's a real funny stand-up i think i would go if i were you his name's david spake I can't remember the dates because he went kind of fast, but he's going to be some places. I'll say goodbye now. That sounds like Garret, dude.

I don't know what was happening. People are so annoyed. We're supposed to, in the first 30 seconds, stir the algo that we're going to give our predictions for 2026 because we got a lot of predictions. Oh, yeah. And we got a lot of predictions. And what was the other one? We're going to give our favorite movies. Favorite movies.

of the year but my first of all my blisteringly exciting New Year's Eve I have dinner with Bobby Lee we're all doing sets that night so I said oh we're all gonna be at the comedy store why not stay in town it's pouring pissing rain for the last two weeks I was in Arizona once everyone got sick so it was a tough tough to keep floating around so I just said I'm gonna stay here I did the store two shows it's Tim Dillon Nikki Glazer Bobby Lee. It was like a great lineup. So I said, oh, good. I want to see everybody. And there's two shows. I'm just doing the first one. But I want to stick around and see everybody. So I go to dinner with Bobby. Then we go. The shows are kind of early. Tim's already off. Nikki comes in,

does her Golden Glove set and has to leave. She has seven sets. God, I love the work ethic of this woman. She is a fucking hard worker. She'll come so fully loaded that she's he's almost incapable of bombing i don't want to jinx it but it's just uh too many great jokes too many vetted then and then we go to seizures and she's going to be so buffed and polished that i uh that's why i got that's why i'm stepping it up i got to keep up so then but she was running around doing her set the model long you know and then um and who else was there anyway i did it i said oh yeah i was with bobby so then i waited for the next show was an hour and a half and everyone's split everyone's doing shows all over town i didn't know that

I was like the laziest one. So I just split, but I got home. I stayed up till probably, I didn't get home till 9.30. That's late for you. I don't think people understand. They don't. For a late night comedian, for a nightclub comic in America today, 830s looking pretty good most night.

Pretty juicy. Even though the show's at nine. That's a problem. By the way, part of the gigs that when we and Nikki were at Venetian, we were like, we cannot have these shows, even at nine it's got to be eight because people fly in there on southwest or wiped out they're like yeah they start drinking a little too early they peak early now they're the show like this fuck this noise and then they're two ways to gamble i have no idea why in the modern era

most Vegas places casinos they should have a show it's seven you and nicky should go on it's seven they have one drink they're awake they see you then they're jazzed because you two were so fucking funny, they go right in the casino and drop some money. Yeah, you know, when I saw Rod Stewart at the Coliseum, same place we are. He was seven, I think. Yeah, perfect. Because what he does is he flies home after. But he did a great show.

It's about 90 minutes, starts right at the, on the dot. Boom. Maggie, I wish I never. In case you're not going to see it. David, do your best. Rod Stewart in case you can't get to a show just 10 seconds one two three go okay Maggie I wish I never see isn't that a good that's good that's got a lot of mandolin I just like the one I don't know the lyrics was some people got no luck at all guys have all the

luck some guys got all the luck I don't know it's not my best impression but I'm going to work on it yeah it's that is not your best one of the um yeah but i i worked with him i worked with him he's a friend yeah he's a good he still got the poofy hair i've always i've always uh said that rock stars or famous people keep the look when they were the most famous and i think rod stewart is stuck with that poofy hair kind of boas and he looks cool mick jagger poison has the bandana and you fucking know him in one second right my goals and so there's a lot out there that do that uh yeah yeah um so anyway so that was that uh and by the way i have a beetle haircut and that's why i have my haircut like

this way so i got a beetle t-shirt you got really bit by the beetle bug for christmas i know isn't it strange i didn't know you know it was a new year they call it a new year because they changed the number you know so it's 2025 they go 26 it's one more so it's a new year you see little treat for you fans i flip it over yeah i saw you doing paul mccardy on a r larry david rerun i did everything i could to make larry david lap because he he has the most finely tuned you know he's one of the most talented ryer comedians in history but as an audience member he's off to Jarts. Fuck, he was right here in this studio.

He was popping a stitch when you were doing that. He fell out of that chair. But anyway. He fell out of the other chair. And we were like, holy shit. You know what he was for being, you like comedians that still laugh at other people's shit? A lot of them are just like, hey, man, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, man, you're funny.

But when he came in, he's like in a good mood. He's like, make me laugh. Let's have fun. Let's fuck around him. He was great. Well, it's just old-timey impressions. I mean, we know how the genie gets out of the bottle. So as comedians, sometimes you're watching a comic and it's killing a go, oh, good one.

Oh, that's a nice move. Oh, put those two together. But if you're saying Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart and a woman are at a threesome, it's so outside of normal Larry David comedy. Yeah, he just liked to hear some hard. I'd like to get in on that action. You know what I mean? Yeah, they're all.

It's like a tree. fully over. What's the world is Von Miller, Super Bowl MVP, chicken farmer, and now host of Free Range. This is a show where I go off the field and off the script. We're talking what's hot in music, film,

that's what i thought of you because i think it's one of your favorite movies absolutely and they don't mention it i don't think they mention it right away but a lot of people not just them when they play it they took out a really good part pottersville what i know i read i just saw that byline what did they take out chunk they take out about his whole if he wasn't born and he goes oh they they cut all that way down that's gone because there's some copyright problem where they had to pay more and so they just skip it and it is really you would know more than me it really would throw the movie off well it it's it's like a perfect movie the way it is you need to know all the information well i say take a revenge movie but we don't have any violence against there's nothing

an amount of revenge what are i don't know so that's pulling the arrow back when he's feel so distraught he wish he'd never been born and then that sets up the whole thing of people coming in the whole town comes in and they say we heard george bailey was in trouble and then that blew his mind i mean he didn't realize how how many people he affected but he's right you know so in john wick you can't take out killing his dog because that sets the whole movie out now he's mad right if you do the wizard of oz and you just have her walking up to the gate with the with the oz there's there's no there's no munchkins no they just couldn't clear the tin man so they just keep blocking them out of every seat and it's just two other fucking idiots yeah so i knew you'd be up and fucking an uproar you know you

Fauci's back and more COVIDer than how much he's back. It's going to be the COVIDian. This COVID you've ever seen COVID. So go off your health. He wants a sequel bad. Also Amazon, why are they chintzy? It should be a place that doesn't have quite as much money as Amazon for them to be cutting corners. I love, the thing I love about Amazon, obviously everyone knows it, is that they hacked. They did something that's not like Elon Musk going to Mars, just how do you order stuff?

get it. I mean, if I got, before Amazon are sending me stuff, you get a little taste as FedEx, your package is in Gardena. It's two hours away. You have to drive. Oh, sorry, we missed you again. Somebody somewhere at Amazon, when they said, we're going to do this supply chain, we're going to deliver stuff. And somebody said, hey, guys, just hear me out. We're going to leave the package are you fucking nuts we can't leave the package they get stolen no no we will get some theft but exponentially it's going to make our business go crazy the fact that they leave the package take a picture of it so yeah i only have a lot of props for whoever did this because it's kind of crazy all my christmas shopping and people are blown away it takes me 30 seconds christmas rap

Knock, knock, knock, knock. There it is. Open it up.

That's not even. That's why there's a car. That's why there's an Amazon truck blocking every corner when you drive all day. They're like, guess what's next? Guess what's next? Guess what's next? Because this company is working with Amazon.

Drones. Drones. Drones high up, though. And then there. they'll lower it down. Here's your dental clause. Please go to the patio. And out comes a puppy.

But yeah, that's the future drones. What is it? For the worst sound effect comedians. No, we're good. In history, well, we're applying sound effects that aren't appropriate. I got to adjust my mic. Yeah, everything's a fucking monster. I'm my mic, I gotta turn.

Yeah, it doesn't make. We got out here. Well, you actually, you have a, you have a little top 10 list that I have an array. They kind of, they kind of cross over. It's hard to do birds now. That's inspired and you do, you do an array of drills. You do a loud drill soft. a lot of drilling you can do that's a gun in the in the mountains oh i see here's a plane flying

over come back uh oh i lost we lost our feet on that one we lost our feet uh yeah it's what i think it was unplugged it's getting too stupid i wanted to throw a sound effect at you that you haven't done yet okay um hmm a mailbox being closed abruptly hmm that's the steel of little rusty oh it's a rusty mail box here's a here's the arrow in the door goes i can do a lot of those this is a a UFO that was in disclosure take off. Is it a four cylinder? I don't know.

They don't make, they go like as whew. Here's a lonely hearts man in a singles bar trying to flirt with an attractive woman and it doesn't work. Ooh, that's a good one.

You probably do that in Wainsworth. Yeah. I saw a sure i saw a show the other night like one of the newer shows and they lady said oh let's do it party on wayne and they just threw it in the middle of their conversation and i was like you know have you ever had this and i'm not saying i'm not look this woman at a store turned to me and said with with all sincerity does anyone ever told you you look like dana carvey And I go, yeah, it's a curse.

You get kind of joking. She goes, no, I'm serious. It's uncanny. It's uncanny. And I couldn't tell if she was joking with it, but she was sincere. And then I felt bad about it for 24 hours. No, they just can't believe you're in Cracker Barrel. If you're not like in a Hollywood back lot, they're like, why would you be here?

When people say that, I go, I have to be somewhere. Well, it was like one of those things where, you know, when they back up the Brinks trucks, sometimes you'll do corporate events. or a corporate party and sometimes they can be a little rough you know 20 people at midnight that are drunk you know and a woman came up to me again very sincerely and said excuse me um dana uh why are you here because they figure you're doing it for free you know or you ran out of money and you're like this you need the money so bad people say to me about anything Well, that's where you go where Jay Leno is the most pragmatic man.

What are you going to do, stay home and watch Madlock instead of make $25,000? He never understood the idea that you would not do anything for the money. Here's a quick hit. Bill Gates said climate change isn't as bad, but he's wrong. We're still totally fucked. That speech is from 1981 when he's like five years, Florida will be underwater. No, but Bill Gates kind of said, it's bad, but it's probably not going to be catastrophic. It'll just get a little warm for a couple of days.

I mean, that was really, really hurt a lot of people. Yeah, well, I could see why, but I understand. God, my sweater pops. All right, here's also something in the news. Your buddy, George Clooney, is a French citizen? Oh, is it a word? That's what he said. Oh, we.

Oh, yeah. I like after a dust up. He had a dust up for Trump. He gets Francis, another dust. Well, Trump, one of Trump's things that's funny to me is he'll go after people like about their career. He never was a star. He never was a star. He was just, he never, it wasn't a movie.

I don't know what he was he didn't make like 30 movies but yeah he never made a movie I don't think you can take that away from Clooney I feel like he is a huge star but I would think if he's bailing he would go to Italy because he was in Italy for last 20 years I mean he has that place in Italy since frickin I was on just shoot me and and then to switch it to France I don't know but he took his kids he said I don't want to be in America I don't have them grow up in America like but the thing is you know he gets political which is fine but i wonder if he will get political in france or he will he he did say something even the other day after he announced this and it feels like if he

tapped out of here he doesn't need the stress of of the politics of america anymore you know what i mean he got out it's like you're on the jets you go to the steelers after 20 years And then you go, hey, I want to send in some plays on the jet. They're like, well, not anymore. No, you're, you're. Well, one is I do know that in Lake Cuomo, he was on the water. I was there once. And every tour thing, George O'Cloon in his house, right there.

George Clooney, you know, so now he has kids. And so he's on a giant place. But it's hard. I mean, everyone knows where he lives and everything. I think he'll probably lower. his footprint and lower the temperature. I mean, because he just wants to be raised his family now. Sure. I mean, I sort of get it. I mean, he's from, where's you from Kentucky? I would probably, well, I'm not a big traveler. I would take a huge Kentucky farm over it. Well, people love France.

So I think I'm in the minority there. There's a lot of places in the world if you have a couple dollars in your pocket where you can go and disappear and escape. But he did say that money is not an issue anymore which is a wonderful thing for a human being to say hey how how's money um not an issue for me really you're no issue no hold on let me think no not an issue but that's uh good for him him and randy gerber did an amazing deal with their tequila bram and that i think are they out of that i think they got out they got out i think george i don't know after taxes but A trillion? I think maybe he got three or 400 million.

The GNP of Romania. Three or 400 million, that's a lot of money. Me, you know, I got about 700 million. Can you believe it? Michelle, I'll be there in a second. I just want to tell these guys, one, I look younger because this puppet was made a long time ago. But I'm rich. His bottom lip looks fat, though.

I know. I know. I know, but David, I know. I know. David, I want to say you're one of the best stand-ups and where are you going to be? What's the date again for Salt Lake City? You know, nobody knows the dates. I just keep saying cities.

Michelle and I'd like to drop by because we just think you're funnier in hell. Love, love Tommy Boy, love Joe Dirt, grown-ups, all your movies. Michelle, I said I'd be there. That's good. You go into those fast. It's so easy. That's a good voice. I mean, they told Nancy Pelosi that she can't trade stocks and be in Congress anymore.

I like her bug eyes. Sorry. I'll stop these as if the fans want me to. I always read about some congressman makes 22 grand a year and they're worth 70 million. And you go, well, maybe I should get into that. What's the trick? Well, I'll just say this. And this should be not political at all.

I mean, come on. They get so much inside information just casually about. about a deal. So why should they be able to trade stocks? They go, oh, no, we're not trading. We don't take any information from Congress. What's your average return? Oh, about 70% a year, but we really research it, you know, come on.

Yeah, me and you are scraping mine about 4.1%. Yeah, Jesus Christ, most ETSs grab you maybe 4, 3, 4% percent, Carvey. If Christ's sakes, Pelosi's up there about 90% a year, with no insider information all right that's something i got some reets bite me in the ass what is that real estate i was never in that hot tub that hot tub oh he got yeah that is david david let me just talk to david for a second david that you saw the picture that's fake news that's a fake thing i was never in that hot tub david i believe it do you david do you really was it hot in the hot tub then I feel the question because if he said it was, then he was.

I like the idea of the puppets talk to you. I know. I do. I do. And it doesn't have to be funny. It's just sort of like, or does it? All right. Predictions for 2026.

We haven't gotten any good stories yet, but we should get, okay, you give me your predictions. Well, I know we got. Okay. They will reboot the A team on Netflix. And David Spade will play the leader who was played by George Pippard in the 80s. You will be the leader of the A team. Oh, okay. I would do that.

Tim Mattis will play Mr. T. Okay. Who else is in there? You have to be black in the remake if you don't want to do. Well, I don't know. But Tim is a badass. He can fight. Tim is always pretty ripped.

He's ripped, too. But he's also kind of tough. He doesn't like people, you know, I mean, he's willing to throw down. I think I pity the fool might sound condescending in this day and age. Well, okay, here. We change it. What would be the, instead of I pity the fool, I feel sorry for the feller. I understand the fool and I get what he's trying to do.

But it's not working. That's not as good. I admire the fool. Yeah, I relate to the fool. Hmm. Well, George Papar, just in a side note, he looked like he was a hundred. But honestly, I'm probably 10 years older than he was. If the Golden Girls were only 33 when they shot that. And they're playing. Yeah, I think George Pap was probably like 52 or something. Jesus, he looked like he was a thousand. That's why people say, you're old.

I go, oh, not really. And then they go, yeah. Well, when I was at Anderson's Fifth Estate, the bar I started stand-up in, and they said, we were all 21, right? And this guy was there hitting on all the girls, and people got mad because there was a rumor he was 44. And everyone was like, first of all, fucking gross. Second of all, why would they let someone 44 in here?

And he was stealing our chicks. And then I thought, well, if Sean Penn came in and he was 44, everyone would be freaking out and love it. And everyone would love them. So if you're an unfamous 44, that's a problem in Arizona in Scottsdale. Everybody, you know, I mean, we have modern technology. You know, 70s the new 60s, 60s, 60s, the new 50, 40s the new 30, 30 is the new 20. No, 70s 30 now. I mean, it's really like I can't see the difference.

There's some people. But when I go back to Scottsdale, sometimes I see somebody, and I see these old geysers walk by and I go, are you, David Spade? I was a year under you in high school. I go, wait, you're close to, what the? Yeah, you were older than us. I'm like, what? Well, one of the figures of speech that's kind of amusing is, oh, how's, how's Bill? Well, he's doing great.

He kind of let himself go. let himself go yeah just let himself go it sounds kind of gentle in a way what are you what are you doing right now i'm just letting myself go so you can see people at 50 that have you know look more mature sure well you also when you're in showbiz and you're on camera there is a part of you that goes i can't totally collapse i have to do a few crunches a week right yeah i've got a moist your eyes i got i i've got a you know yeah i don't look like a full reptilian well that's the thing for everybody if you can go to your 50th high school reunion and everyone everyone or even 40 you know okay and everyone walks up and that none of them has to say i'm sorry who are you again like if you can

stay recognizable you're doing pretty good and you go hi i went to school with you i just poop my pants a lot of people did we're at the 50th well he let himself go literally yeah that's letting him poop go i have a question for you about how heather came around yeah i can hear you can hear heather on the good ones i don't i don't know which one she's not handing out laughs to any bullshit no you have to you have to earn it first of all i do a quick Do you do a Tim Walts? Prediction from Joe Biden No

No Oh, because it's not In Malaysia, it's the year of the Hotch Fudge Sunday. You know, we just did Bill Mars podcast. I think it's coming out this week, but I forgot,

we asked about one of his first jokes. Here's one of my first jokes. ones i heard from him he said which one has the year of that is that in china yeah it's the chinese the year i need the new year yeah he goes you know it's it's uh the chinese new year of the dragon but i keep writing year of the rat on all my checks i'm still writing year of the rat you know how we always write 2025 but it's yeah but it's the year of the rat and so yeah oh boy i got to walk you through that one um okay what i want to know if first of all minnesota is having a tough week um but i will say i will say minnesota because i i know you're probably working on a tim waltz

because well i mean my best friend jim gaffigan oh that's right he did a great tim walls um i when i read about what went on in minneapolis and the fraud and stuff it sort of makes my I'm like what that much money what's going on David what do you think I don't obviously I don't know but it seems like a little bit of if there's smoke there's fire but I don't know how much fire but Minneapolis first of all is a great stand-up town I did yeah my special there during COVID it's great tail tail end of COVID but you know these things that are get blown up in cities you don't know if it's like you land And then this is all you see is Somalis and you see corruption.

It's usually a little more in pockets. Isolated in pockets. If there's a riot at UC Berkeley, most of the campus is dead quiet. Or even all the city of San Francisco, you're like, oh, you can't step foot in there. Yeah. But which has happened because I've gone to cities where they say are a disaster. And, you know, some of it I see, some, but I don't because it's not the whole place. But there is some trouble in doggie land, as Steve Martin used to say.

Steve Martin used to go, I wrote a few books this summer. I wrote Trouble and Doggyland. But there is some, I know, I don't know why I thought that was funny as a kid. I love it now. So it's silly. But let's hope they, we'll skim over that. But I think something's going on up there. Who knows?

Well, I think why people get mad is if you're an average everyday citizen going to work and paying your taxes and you're finding out this or some other situation where people get money, people get taken care, people get help, and you're like, what about me? I'm playing by all the rules, not me personally, but you know, people that just go, I bust my ass for years and years. Where's my, where's my, why am I doing this? Makes me not want to pay taxes. I'll say that. When they go somewhere you don't know to a high speed rail or something in LA, you go. I hate it. I wish I could, when I hand my check over the IRS, you know, just hand it to him, go, hey, guys, can I just say something for a second? Yeah. Could you, I'm so glad that I was lucky in life and I made this much money. And like Arnold used to say, I love paying taxes because it meant I have a really good year. I made a lot of money of it. But what I would like to say them, well, could you be really careful with how you spend the money? money and make sure the truly needy i know it's a hot take maybe make sure the truly needy get it and not not the scammers because like i mean i think covid there was so much billions flying there's no way to track at all so you just know we're just going to hear about all these scams and corruption in a couple years which is tough because everyone's trying to help and then it always i mean you can't even track a hundred million try a billion try 20 20 billion where did it go i don't know what are you asking me for because you're the secretary of treasurer state of california i

don't know where the 20 billion went listen if i'm in charge of 20 billion a couple c are going to my pocket no one's going to be the wiser i mean that's just the way it is but it's nobody it's a human thing if you if you had a company that had a monopoly um a complete monopoly they would just be a little it'd be a little dysfunctional so hud gets about 500 billion a year sent to it spread it around you know and even asked what happens like oh no you you have to spend all the money so you can get the funding you know for the following year you can't say you know we're HUD we took care of everyone here's a hundred billion back right that doesn't happen that much i don't know i'm i i may run for governor i you should

yeah i will vote for you thank you just to hear the impressions i'll run as out or uh and what else yeah let's go to more stories if gregg throw up a story and then i'll give you some movies okay any stories great wake up he like our audience oh young daters wait young daters confront a relationship killer the swag gap so are they saying one of the people has a great style and one doesn't beber is sort of known for a style I mean, Haley Beaver obviously looks great, and she always just. Well, this is, this is a classic thing of like you and Jackie. We're in 2026 now and women generally speaking have to show a lot of skin, you know, men would be at a, he might could be in a tuxedo, but men are all covered up and women have to show. I mean, women are freezing half the time.

They're just, I don't, I don't know, Heather can weigh in on this, but seems, that seems very cold, uh, if it's like 40 degrees out there, but it for her, you mean? For, for her. Well, he's wearing shorts, too. Well, yeah, it's in this particular case, yes, but the other thing and a maybe Adam, our good friend Adam Sandler was the first one to adapt, you know, really loose, loose sweat pants, you know, he has a little. look or shorts. And then I think all the young people just are basically doing Adam Sandler. Yeah, I think there's comfortable. I think guys can get away with even just a white t-shirt or a black t-shirt and jeans.

And I think that's kind of baked in and the women have more pressure to sort of doll up. I do like women when they're into sweats and sweatshirts and very casual. I think it's super cute, but big banana clip in their hair. But I don't know if this is as big of a problem in the world. as we think the swag gap i think it's one of those things for a story for a week and then well justin b's he's worth 300 million she's on her way to a billion where they're probably not a typical couple to talk about there's money any problem for them uh it's no longer an issue what do you mean not an issue well it's just not a not an issue at all no well before i do the next story

let me throw in my top movies of the year okay this is a big story my top movies i'm actually i'm actually curious okay i would say at number five the house made did you see it i did not see it but oh i feel like that's gonna fall around five um i will say begonia mhm is very interesting i haven't seen it but i like the actors in it jesse plemmas and emma stone and miss don't i like the premise of it his buddy is these conspiratorial guys think she's an alien or something yeah yeah and i mean it's a little rough on the edges like it's not as hard i mean it's not as easy to predict as i thought but it's very interesting yeah obviously great director well done that's the kind that we're when i because i do movies i'm in the business so um

I can tell it didn't cost as much as it could. One single location if you hold a hostage. It's pretty much a hostage movie. And you go, oh, my God, that's such a – And they have a lot of dialogue, which was making me crazy because when I was just thinking of Jesse Plumman, he has a lot of speeches. He's just great.

That young man, he looked really cool in it too. And Emma Stone, again, from Arizona, again, does a great job. She just knows how to do this. She can't not be great. She plays like a cocky executive and with a lot of executive corporate speak when she's talking to her kidnappers. It's kind of funny. It's funny in parts also. She's something else.

What was the movie she did with Ryan Gosling where they're dancing all around L'A? La La Land. La Land. So she gave me a nice compliment at a Saturday Night Live party. She's very sweet. And she was such a fan that. We're going down the hallway, and she goes, let's get a picture. Let's redo the picture.

So it was the cast I was with with Lovitz and Phil and Nora. And I got in a position like I did from the 80s. And then she took Jan Hooks' thing and she had other friends around and took this picture. And then at the party, she said some nice things, some really sweet things to me. And so I said, yeah, I just want to say that one of the best pieces of acting I've seen in film is in La La La Land, when you bombed the audition and they weren't paying attention to you. And the way she slowly, the camera stayed on her and she started to cry. I mean, it was pretty spectacular.

You know, you're good at, you pick a specific thing instead of a general thing. Yeah, you can't say you're just great. That means nothing. I say, you're good in the acting business. I did say to you, I'd say dandelion, that first joke that you did about corn dogs. Good, good guess. Nothing important, my whole special. Not really tackling an issue.

Well, it is a comedy special. I know. It's a comedy special. That was on Amazon. Meep. Okay, what are your other movies? Because I can't even remember the movies. That might be my list.

Let me see if I can have anything. What are the big movies? I mean, I would say for me off top of my head, I thought weapons was. Oh, yeah. You liked weapons, which I'll put it in the top five because you like it. But I will say, and it was a conscious choice. on their part because they didn't do a feel good ending i'm saying minimum a hundred million dollars they lost oh right i know what you mean i've heard of movies go back and redo it we just heard

this rob reiner i think it's maybe it's when harry met sally his wife said to him he met his wife during the filming and then she said how does it end and she goes i wouldn't do that isn't that cool And, yeah, and over time, she probably has that kind of thing she could, a woman could say. Right, you need that perspective to say, but a happy ending, especially in a movie like that, is really the way to go. Well, our guy, Kevin O'Leary, he was upset because Marty Supreme is another movie that is really great. Keep so much, oh, we didn't even air him yet. And the ending is sort of controversial. yeah yeah he was blabbing so uh it was good to hear that so yeah yeah that'll be there weren't really

any spoilers though because he said i you know he knew he would have gotten in trouble well let me but he gave real opinions about it he did he had a lot to say about the movie it's just stay tuned to that podcast to be interesting okay so here's my summer three i want to hear your choice of this the summer three which was the latest mission impossible the submarine sequence f1 with brad pitt enough you yeah or or for Scarlett Johansson and the new Jurassic Park. Those are the three summer big movie tent. Block busters.

Busters. Out of those? Yeah, you have five seconds. I mean, Jurassic Park is out because it's the same movie every time. Avatar, the first two hours, I thought it was the Smurfs movie. And also, Avatar, that talk about the same movie. I'm like, do I want to see poor James Cameron, obviously a genius. James Cameron or James Cameron money's is an issue for him and it's not an issue and also that

he he I can predict it's like the locals are being picked on by some big government thing and they're shooting arrows at them and they and it's just that was the first couple I've seen the first five I saw and now there's nine more coming if I was him because there's a rumor he's going to do this other movie and I was like that other movie sounds cooler like fantastic voyage or something yeah i would divide movies this way movies that you connect to and movies that you don't connect to so the ones you connect to you can go into sort of a waking dream state and that's what a great movie is for and it's an individual taste if you're inside three days the condor you're just inside this fever dream of this great movie um avatar is not on that list for me 2001 alien

I mean, you know, James Cameron, he's brilliant, you know. So, but I, of the three, you know, the one that got me the most was a Jurassic Park of those summer blockbusters. It did? I thought it mixed it up enough. And I got, I got connected to the movie. I also enjoyed F1. All three did well because how many people were going to go to a movie theater when they've got a 75 inch and a surround sound? so they the fact that you and boone have that not everyone else uh money's not an issue but even

you know for a homeless person money's not my new book money's not an issue yeah or that's your next special that's a good special shit i got another special if i got that title but i will say this right now as a blink thing yeah without giving it away house made might be the the movie that i connected to the most asleep Wow. Okay. And I'm going to see it again. Okay. I'll bring my wife because, and I won't give it away,

but it's just something, it's surprising. It's emotional. I'll see it. Then we'll talk and we can give it away. But are you going to see it at your local Bijou up there? I did see it at a theater up here, stadium seating. They have theater up there. Oh, yeah, stadium sitting in the back in the dark, popcorn, lightly salted.

little ice cold soda cell phone clicked off 35 minutes of previews yes 40 minutes of commercials she didn't believe him but he wanted to kill her you know come on movie then Nicole Kidman clip clop walking her heels AMC we got it you sit down get lost move on Nicole Kimman is a force of nature i don't know you know my favorite is the Dolby commercial. It's like Dolby sound. They interview directors. I'm like, do I have a choice of the sound in a movie? Why are you selling this to me? I'm here. I didn't make the movie. I'm not going to go pick Dole. I don't know what's going. They go, we do all our movies in Dolby. And Dolby sound. We used to do it. We used to have a system called loud sound. Yeah. Loud sound was the loudest sound you can get. Now we have Dolby. Now we have. chicken brain sound sometimes it's right on the edge sometimes it's kind of like so loud i wear earplugs don't even do you really geez dandy she's dandy line okay i put two little

but but but but we had paul fig on our oh there you go we have paul fig on our and now i'm saying that maybe his movie was the one that i got me the most this year good it's sidney sweetie too wait Heather tell me before we move on what was the movie you said I liked oh I was just asked about Marty Supreme I didn't I didn't see yet but I will so my top movies are number five housemaid I didn't see Maritonia is up toward the top I did see and the other ones we don't know yet uh should we throw a bone to our buddy Jack black because when he came on oh Anaconda minecraft oh Minecraft And we broke, yeah, we did, I didn't, yeah, but we broke down the numbers for him.

And he goes, I'd be great if it went to 800 million. I said, going to a billion. Guess where it just crossed about two weeks ago. A B? One billion. I did like that he did anaconda, which I probably will see because it's a comedy. And there's just not that many that, and I like him and I like Paul Rudd. Yeah, that sounds like something that would be funny.

And also like they're making anaconda. They're not just doing the movie. They're like, it's like a behind the scenes or something weird. So I like the angle. I love anaconda movies where someone's being swallowed and their legs are outside the jaws going like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People went, get her, get a rope. In the J-Lo one, it got her.

I remember this part? And it was squeezing her so hard that her butt kept getting bigger. And then the box office receipts got bigger. And then the snake goes, ooh-la-la. then he forgot what he's doing and he left yeah and the snakes eating a mouse and kind of goes what yeah how big are the mice you have to feed that anaconda it's 80 feet long i don't know it's a rough life for an anaconda he's got a tire in there he's got a small refrigerator in there i mean he's constipated i mean it's not a good life what they they don't know what they're eating

an old radiator he's like yeah so that's and then predictions any quick blink 2026 predictions no we do have more stories but we let's let's let's get let's give a story give me a story me anything mm-hmm oh yes oh how sweden repairs potholes this is needed on fairfax and los angina go i like this bit pop-po is that part of it or out a song they just spray it and that's it spray it with tar right so there's if you look there's not really a pothole there but they're demonstrating it that you fill it up and make it smooth but does it how how soon does it dry you don't you have to cordon off the road 30 to 40 minutes really i don't know that was a pretty good guess it's yeah all right well maybe i'll just buy one of these machines

and then casually at night go down there you go everything's coming from from this guy now grocery everything asphalt fixers horses will be delivered everything's a good biz oh watch this one this is funny this is a this is a weird one and you're gonna like it hear the world changing news that david and dana carney skied last week down the tallest mountain in antarctica no one has ever skied down it this isn't the center of antarctica and that is david spade there you can see he's quite proficienter at skiing a lot of people are like Like, I knew David Spade was a comedian. I knew Dana Carney was a comedian, an actor laborer from the Hollywoods.

We didn't know they could ski. Well, they can't. They had their stuff shipped up to the top of the mountain. Obviously. Because they didn't want to hike up it with skis on their backs. This is them hiking up. I thought that was a dark. They're also fantastic.

35,000 hires. He's getting more. Because this wasn't an easy mountain to summit. Because everyone can't believe. That was our guy, Jimmy. helicopter delivering their skis. And then you can see here from this view, there's Dana Carvey right there. And he is very good at skiing as well.

And I just want to say both of them. He got Carvey right. You're inspiring. And I'm just asking what's next? What are you guys going to do next? Everyone's asking. We do next. We're going to make a video about you skiing down a hill.

Okay. How about that? Dude, I'm still sore from that because my quads really took it on that drop. I actually, my legs were so. oversized for my body i have to kind of hide them you know i remember i went golfing with sandler once and i had just basic running shorts on he goes carrie what's with your legs because they from running i was like a t-rex i had no upper body and giant legs from running he sometimes when we're bored it's late on his shoe he talks about your legs

uh i like them now because you don't want to have little pins at my I hate you. You want to have big stout chunky legs. I have carry underwood legs. I'm not worried about me. Other people's words. They're a little feminine. Yeah.

Wait a second. When you hosted S&L, weren't you kind of bare-legged or something? I did. I hate when they make you take your shirt off on us. No, I can't stand it. But he can't make you. I go, I have to. Lorne will get mad.

Um, I take my shirt off all the time. You just don't see it. Lauren takes it off a halfway through anyone else hot it'd be really nice if 2026 started off with like a really good show as opposed to a bad show. A couple of funny sketches.

Marcelo maybe Sebastian's I love one because writers really don't like reoccurring as much but when Lauren got a hold of a hit he'd be like oh could we do a bush you know it was like

Yeah, but yeah, Marcello should bring, bring him back and put him in a situation like he's at a car wash or something where he does all his regular job or something. Yeah, or he's in some situation that's that you wouldn't expect him to do all that stuff, you know. Maybe he gets a traffic ticket. You go on my car over here, out within the lane, you know, I don't know. He has to ask the cop if he can get out so he can do all this fucking moves. Yeah. I have a question. Can I get out of the car, sir?

but that's good he's got a reoccurring impression that's good yeah all right well let's wrap it up on that um we're not exciting to see you um and uh thank you for listening everyone the numbers are phenomenal we're doing great we're doing we're just unbelievable every time i go on the chart i go really and then i always look at the podcast ranked behind us that's my guilty pleasure i'm like oh i can't believe it 128 no we don't mean what when you see someone and it's bombing. It's too stressful. There's, there's three million of them. 128's awesome. There's literally three million podcasts. Yeah. We aren't 128. So don't think that. No, no, no.
