Okay, hey guys, listen, we're starting the show.
We already taped the show, but we're adding a little addendum because...
Right, it's a...
Something just happened.
We tape it a few days before, but then this just happened.
I want to tell you about it, it's not life-changing, but it's very interesting to Dana and I.
It's, yeah, it's an emergency podcast.
Yes, drop everything.
You will.
No, we just thought we do it, you know, Sunday afternoon.
So David, tell us your story.
So what happened is, like, you know, Dane and I talk about doing these corporate shows now
and then for these big companies, it's usually a lot of fun, and pretty harmless, and sometimes
they're a little tough because not a typical comedy setting.
That's fair, right?
And by the way, let me insert this.
you are a side show.
You're not the show.
The corporate party, the event, the president speaks, the slides and the wards.
That's the show.
You're kind of a secondary show.
So it's not like a regular gig.
Right.
So sometimes you're getting a burned out crowd or something.
They've been in meetings all day.
Sometimes you're a surprise.
They start to leave the meeting.
They go, wait a second.
Here's an hour with someone.
And they're like, and usually not drunk.
They're usually, you know, it's whatever.
So I get a call, a quick story, which we can never do anything quick, but hey, do you want to cover for someone to do a corporate show in San Francisco?
I go, it depends on what day I'm going into Arizona to see my brother Brian.
And they said, well, it was Monday night.
It's Thursday morning you'd have to go.
It's actually a daytime show, which immediately rings slightly tougher.
But I don't mind.
And I said, okay, it's usually kind of a favor.
If someone got sick, we don't know what, whatever happened.
Yeah, yeah.
They don't tell me.
So I said, let me see if I can maneuver it.
So by the end of Tuesday, yes, I can do it.
And then I'll go straight to Arizona.
Right.
So it's Salesforce.
I said, okay, I've actually done this before.
I think, Dana, you might have to.
I've done a couple with them.
Mark, is it Benioff, is the CEO?
Mark Benioff, yes.
So unbeknownst to you, what's going on?
So unbeknownst me, they say, I think Heather finds out,
Oh, I saw, I think it was going to be Kamail Nunjani.
He should put in parentheses in his name.
Did I say that right?
Because I like the guy, I see him out, he's been on the show.
Super nice guy, KJ.
That's easier to say.
And Alana Glazer.
Yes.
From Broad City.
Another funny comic.
I don't know her well, but I think she's very funny.
So two comics that are pretty potent, going to go up there and do a thing.
and they say, she will still open,
but you're still going to do 45.
I said, that sounds great.
Okay.
I like to see her.
It would be fun.
So I get up there.
I'm already in San Fran.
I'm going there to the gig.
And there's an article that gets sent to me,
hey, they fell out.
They both fell out now.
They both cancel or fell out, let's say.
Yeah, fell out lingo because of possible political things.
I heard the word Trump thrown around.
Benioff initially had sort of welcomed the National Guard
because he's had his big event every year.
He has to hire extra protection and private police
because it's a huge event.
So he kind of invited that saying I would support the National Guard
kind of policing my event.
And then what happened?
Some backlash.
Now, that's not why I was told.
told nothing. And then there was a rumor
Kumail had COVID.
So I'm like, so I'm on the way going,
wait, am I supposed to not do that? You know, there's a
weird feeling of like, oh, am I
going into some situation?
Right, yeah, you had no idea what you're
stepping into. And by the way, by the time
you hit the stage,
Mr. Benioff had kind
of retracted what he said, he misspoke
or whatever. So it wasn't, the issue was
sort of gone. Right. I'm getting
trickled information. All I saw in the article
that said, these people
stepped out
but David Spade
basically gladly did it
it was sort of like that
I'm like that sounds
it just sounded little itchy
so anyway I get I get there
I look at the room
it's in the round
about 3,000 people
it's daytime the lights are up
like you're in Ralphs or something
like a grocery store
there's no focus on you
everyone's lit
big screens
well done they had
Metallica the night before
I mean they're not fucking around
these places that do these corporate gigs
spend the money
They get people.
Matthew McConaughey was reading from his poetry book.
Katie Couric was there.
I think Maria Shriver.
So they're peppering through all these events.
I'm another event.
Yeah.
So I said, okay.
And they said,
okay, so any of long story short, I go do it.
It was pretty fun.
Listen, it's not going to be my Netflix special,
but it was pretty fun.
Moments of glory and some good laughs and some stuff that was sort of did okay.
But that's kind of the drill in these things.
So the thing is, when I leave, all good, high fives, I leave.
Okay, we got it done and we got it covered.
The next day I see on Yahoo, there's a talk about it, and they're kind of talking about the comedians that dropped out.
Yes.
And it was kind of an indirect review from maybe not a reviewer, though.
I think he was a tech guy.
No, I've looked him up.
He usually reports on AI and tech businesses.
He's new to SFG, which is sort of the big online newspaper in San Francisco.
So I believe, and I can't prove this, that he decided he should review you and he used AI because it sounds.
Oh, maybe he used a.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
I think he's an AI expert.
By the way, we were looking for one if he wants to come on.
But I believe it was written kind of like a cliche review.
so it feels like a generic AI.
I don't know if you want me to read it, but...
I'll read a little bit of it.
It said he's reading a few, because it's sort of negative, let's be honest.
First, he's talking all about the dropping out of the comedians and the controversy,
then he goes to a paragraph about it.
Well, he's talking about actually the whole show.
He's like, and then this day, and this day we did this.
So he's sort of reviewing or just talking about the whole week.
I don't know if it's reviewing, but he's just sort of, here's what happened in San Fran
for one of our biggest events of the year.
And then he gets, the part is two disappointing cancellations, so that's already.
There was a comedy show Thursday.
It was an exciting prospect, Nanjani and Glazer are a pair with different comedic styles,
unafraid of punching up at techs, excesses, and power structures.
And then it goes, but unforeseen circumstances, so they don't put a, you know, sharp head on it,
but no one really knows why.
They both dropped out.
Fellow comic David Spade replaced him.
This part stings.
I would have loved to see the company's list of B-list talent backups.
That's me, I guess.
I was like, oh, I didn't think of that.
I go, sting.
I'll say two things.
First of all, I do believe that's AI generated.
And secondarily, this jump man who doesn't do this for a living, he used AI.
and the idea of a B-list, I don't know the actual definition, but let's just say, let's say he's 21.
He hasn't seen grown-ups. He hasn't seen Tommy Boy. He would have maybe no idea of this long
career where you're selling out theaters all over the country. So if you're a B-list,
that I don't know what I don't know where I would be on that.
Well, he's, here, I'll continue.
Yeah.
So he delivered, David delivered 40, 45 minutes of rambly, down-home storytelling.
He made much use of his classic sarcasm, but joked little about the conference, its themes, or San Francisco.
And then he can, which is true.
And he says, because it feels like Spade had heard about the gig the day before, flew up there, jotting down the occasional ideas.
that's kind of true.
Well, you didn't care about it.
You didn't have weeks to plan it or whatever.
Right.
He talked about traffic, hotels, planes no longer having TVs, dot, dot, dot, you get it.
Ah, that's the biggest burn of all.
It's this type of dog shit.
You get it.
And then he said, blah, blah, blah.
But so what I think is, that's about it.
But just that was a little stingy because when you're doing these gigs, first of all,
They take the edges off your act.
You sign a contract and they send it ahead.
Hey, we don't want you shitting on the CEO.
We don't want you going political.
We don't want, just keep it nice and fun.
Nice and fun and light, airplanes, all that kind of stuff.
Nothing controversial.
You're just there.
The people are going all over to these symposiums.
They're in class, basically.
And they have a little reprieve of some nice comedy.
But you're not there to levitate the cow palace or, you know, make history.
I'm not there to punch up.
up and get and make the focus me and have people go holy shit do you think what he said now if
i'm doing a theater gig you know you're not going to take any bullets out of my gun i might go after
san francisco and the crime and the home i might go after whatever because there's no real boss
people are coming to see me uh but i have to kind of if you're a worker be and you've grown up
working and doing these things when they sort of stipulate this they can either not pay you
and for two people to fall out in the old days that's a little tougher like corporation said we'll sue you you're not going anywhere yeah like we you know but nowadays they go okay and that and that's nice yeah but i'd met these people before
i had a perfectly good time there this time crowd is friendly very nice have a good time we got out yeah very nice company mark benny off very nice guy
and you know there are jobs this you playing a two thousand seat theater
David Spade. You just, you can do whatever you want.
Anything. Anything. When you take these corporate jobs, they just want it to be in a certain
frequency. That's all. I can do most of my. I have certain things. I'm not going to drop an
F-bomb or something or things like that. And it's still fun and it's no big deal. But
this thing was written by AI. But anyway, he can come on and rebut us. Yeah, I mean,
I'm not really shitting on the guy. I'm just saying it's all like, I don't think I've gotten a
corporate review. It's sort of a hidden secret of the
world. I never have. I've done a thousand or more. I have never gone to review. This is highly
unusual to get a review for it because there is no review. I never got for corporate. I thought it was
a little kick in the balls to me because if he doesn't like my act, that's okay too. I mean,
it's like, sure, but he felt like he went a little out of his way to go, I would love to hear these
who will really go after the system and punch up. But I don't know if that's what they were there to do either.
No, I mean, you can throw in a couple things, but they want you to be David Spade and do your stand-up.
They hired you for a reason.
This guy didn't hire you because they know you're great.
You know what you're doing.
You have a great act.
And you get laughed.
So, but yeah, I mean, I just think it was kind of funny that you're the only one that I've ever known.
In the history of comedy.
The history of these type of events that got reviewed in a snarky way.
When you're kind of doing favor last minute, you're on your way to Arizona.
I don't want to see your mom.
I mean, it wasn't your thing you were in the mode to do.
So anyway, that's, that's pretty much it.
That's it.
Now, listen, in my defense, I made fun of the setting.
It was a very sort of unique, in the round, fully bright with trees everywhere.
Talk about that.
Did a couple of chat, GPT bits.
You know, just to let those tech guys really light up on those.
But overall, yeah, there's no porn stuff.
I don't put my stuff that, you know, there's a couple of things that work well.
You go, this isn't right.
And you can.
It isn't really a freedom of speech thing.
I could say whatever I want, but do I want to get hired back?
Yeah.
Do I want the word in the corporate world to go, this guy is too much of a wild card?
He's going to try to take your company down.
Like, what's my job here?
It's a job.
It's a different job.
You know, I mean, so they, I don't know, I still think the guy just didn't.
It was AI.
And we should send him Tommy Boy to a direct thing so he can.
Here's something I did 110.
years ago take a look of the canon you're building all this stuff you wrong missy the biggest
comedy of the pandemic on netflix like a billion views it i know these i i got a review i played
san francisco after my first years of on saturday night live and the review from micklesall
and i think he was right he goes he fell in love with his own adorableness i think i've done that
That's fucking funny
And I was a lot younger
I was cute
Oh I'll tell you
But I got a shitty review there
And he was kind of
But this one is just
AI and the guy's 21
That's all
Yeah
Well anyway
No hard feelings
But it was kind of funny
To get a review and talk about it
Okay
So we're back to our regular beginning folks
So here's where we started
The podcast
Yeah
Different outfit
Oh my God
We started
This is the most dramatic
This is going to be a bangor
Just don't, you know, don't go anywhere because this is going to be.
That's good.
Look at that.
Look at my hair's getting all lit up again.
Don't move your head too much.
Listen, I'll just state this unequivocally.
The Beatles 65, they had unquafed hair.
It was just sort of messy.
And so that's what I've always been trying to get because I've maybe said this before in the podcast.
My dad was an army type guy and he would basically give us crew cuts in the
the mid 60 and you wanted to look like a beetle so he'd be like just just and if you look like
he didn't like it he'd cut it even shorter oh fuck we look like we look like cue balls by the end of it
my mom would come in and go Dana in this side pocket you know beetles let it be out with a four
with their beards I thought that was the coolest look long hair and beards yeah because it was
unkept. They never had, most of those
rock czars in those days didn't have
stylistically combed hair, except for Elvis, but
that was Elvis. Or a stylist.
Or a stylist. It was just unkept.
Dana and I just got back from a gig
and it was a lot of fun.
We were Yamava. We did a gig together.
It was very fun.
Dana crushed.
I opened. I had a problem with my set.
I'll tell you what it was in a minute.
Okay.
Well, I'll tell you the...
How did your set go?
because I drove out there from where I am
and it was like a four or five hour drive.
So I was out on my feet.
So then I just like, I saw the first few minutes
sounded like it was going well
and I toddled back to my room.
Oh, me?
Yeah, no, I wanted you to go rest
because you put in a full day's work.
I was just didn't wanna come in a day early
or I didn't wanna, well anyway, whatever.
I was a little tired,
but I heard on the grapevine that you crushed.
Right, I heard from the audience,
you were killing because I was listening.
And they were in.
And then I got nice comments after about you.
Well, that's very nice.
Do you remember this?
Do you remember this?
They gave us a box of our own cookies.
Oh, good.
You brought those.
This was an exceptionally nice place to play, Yamava, I must say.
This is a marquee, David Spade, and Dana Carvey.
That's a cookie, guys.
They made cookie thematically about our minuscule careers.
Here's a llama.
What, but a llama, what is that, how does that, is that from me?
Oh, from your cartoon.
The Emperor's new groove.
Okay.
Can you got one for me?
Slightly beat up isn't that special.
Everyone wants to eat the church lady.
That's just, sounds wrong.
That window behind you.
I know, glass of pain, man.
And here's a little who'skear don't.
That's from Joe Dirt Fireworks.
They put some thought into it.
Somebody went into like real minutia with our careers.
They had one for the Dana Carver.
show that only lasted seven episodes they had one of me being born how many episodes did that last
no i'm trying to riff my riff skills are a little off this one you're you can riff look my only
problem was i got two into the scarface and i didn't quite land it i you know we were doing 40 minutes each
so i look down i'm at 35 and a half coming off of like christopher walking or somebody who's
You're coming off micro impression stacked.
And I had a really good tailor guitar there.
And I thought, oh, I could grab it now because it was all set.
I grab it.
It's electrified.
I'd already done crowd work with two people in the audience.
So I sing a song about them.
It's the most surefire killer.
But it's Scarface.
I just went a little too long.
And I thought later, if I'm doing Tony Montana at Thanksgiving dinner for people don't know every bit I've repeated.
Sweet potatoes.
All this thing like that.
And then he gets mad at this grandma that we never like a kid man.
So he goes off in this minutiae for like five minutes.
And I just thought he should have said the ending.
He goes, what's you got to say, Grandma?
What are you got to say?
And then you come back with, well, well, well, well.
We like ourselves, don't we, scarface?
And that would have been.
Fucking tie it up.
Tie it up.
My God, the lady's back.
She's taken down Scarface.
Talk about a mashup.
No, it was, it was, I thought.
You always crush.
I like your casualness.
You're not, I, I was actually walking behind the curtain.
It was a huge stage when Bobby was on, Bobby Miyamoto, killing himself.
Just to get physically used to moving.
I go out there to gum, gambam style, and I'm dancing around.
and you kind of stroll out what's up take it easy you're kind of like and it's much cooler
well it's hard because as anyone knows dana's known in the business is hard to follow so
i just go well this is just a change-up different style they like us both we could have flipped
it either way and it was fun it worked out yeah next time i like it and i liked it and they were nice
i had people come in dana you didn't know this you know high rollers if you don't know this when
in a casino, Caesars next year.
The first two rows, these shows are almost just built for high rollers.
There's a lot of paper.
They want to bring people into gamble.
That's why they have different acts.
They have Tim McGraw coming up, Carrie Underwood, they have us.
So what happens is you want to get every facet of the community to go, I need a reason to go to this casino.
And I've never been there, but I want to see these guys.
I want to see Carrie.
So I've done that.
I go, you go there, and now you're walking in.
You're probably eating at a restaurant there.
There's money.
You play a few slots, bet a few things, roulette, see the show.
Basically, they just want you to touch base in the show and then go back out.
They do not really want the show to exceed 90 minutes.
Yeah, if it was two minutes, they'd be happy because they just touch us and then go back in the casino, gamble again, drink again, have fun.
And then they have an experience like, oh, Yamava is a nice place.
And then they remember that.
So they can go, we could just go there on a non-show night because like we ate at a nice restaurant, you know.
Well, it was very, very nice.
I played a hotel in Vegas for a number of years that was not as nice as that.
You know, just the carpet was nice.
The rooms were clean.
I know which one you're talking about.
You know, I mean, it was, the theater was perfectly fine.
But it wasn't, this Yamava place was exceptionally nice.
and easy to work with.
But yeah, I just, you know, next time I'll go a second if you want.
By the way, it was so lucky of me that you didn't walk over and pick up that guitar.
Because I said he's killing so hard anyway.
And me and Bobby were like, oh, no, if he gets that guitar, I'm just going to go home.
Because it's too hard to follow.
It's so good.
Well, look, I don't know about follow or not follow because you're the greats.
the great stand-ups.
Sorry, Steve, I don't know what it's at the type
because I talk about it.
But the guitar is a lethal weapon.
I started using it in honky-tong clubs in the 80s.
You know, show us your dick.
You know, hell's angels attacked me.
Beer, you know, the comedy underground,
the second show on Friday when there's a bar,
they're coming right from the bar.
Then I just started doing guitar stuff
just to make noise and survive.
And also calms, like they,
It's hard to yell over that, and it just gets me to listen.
I only regret because they went to the, they got it for me, they tuned it.
Yeah, they were great.
And the sound was big.
But I'll get to it next time.
You know, at the very end, you were in slumbering, but I'm kidding.
It goes a little late.
So they were a good crowd for being later.
At the last five minutes, I kid you not, two high rollers came in and sat in the front row like this.
And I go, you are not just getting here.
And they go.
I go, do you see Dana?
They go, mm-mm.
I go, you know what?
I go, you know what?
These are these people, because I said, bow to the high rollers,
because they basically go, we're coming into gamble.
We're high rollers.
Front road to Spade and Carvey.
Front road to any other show.
Best restaurant, best table.
We might come to the show.
Have the tickets ready.
And they go, that's right.
High roller, you get whatever you want.
And that's so that first time I heard the phrase paper.
you know we're going to paper it what do you mean well they're going to have high rollers
they're not going to charge them for the show and if you get 100 200 of those you're
halfway there i probably tell you this once but it's a story that it relates to this and i'm
quoting it exactly it was at the old the wind is there now the desert end or something like that
anyway i was doing a sound check which i normally do and this kind of like
dems and those guys was running the show dems and does so i accidentally
asked him as it becomes an accident i go how are the ticket sales he said quote you know what do i
give a shit i got indonesians dropping 16 lodge upstairs what do i give a shit i got indonesians
dropping 16 lodge upstairs so the indonesians who are wealthy get their own private suite with
young ladies and the whole thing and they bet a shit ton of money so what do i give a shit i got
indonesians dropping 16 large upstairs it's so perfect
Kevin Neal and I think it was that he did a Vegas and he you know he's supposed to headline do they go do like 45 he did 48 he got off and the guy goes what the fuck are you doing three minutes they could be out in the fucking casino what are you doing trying to kill me
And he's like, oh, I didn't.
I thought it'd be better if I went along.
He goes, who the fuck wants you to go along?
Get off.
Yeah.
Well, Dennis is always, he's somebody who has show business, he knows show business.
So when he played this hotel, he used to play, he would time it where he would leave his room, full stride.
I don't know if he had someone hold the elevator or not.
And then he's walking right onto the stage as they're introducing him.
He's not, there's no small talk, there's no green room, he just walked.
right to the mic,
destroys for an hour,
because that's Dennis, right?
And then there's a clock.
And as soon as it hits 60,
even if he's in the middle of a bit,
thank him good night.
And he just kills,
but he's just like,
there's no settling in bits.
Like I walk out,
hey guys,
oh,
I used to come to San Bernardino all the time
because I'm in a gang.
And so,
you know what I mean?
And so,
and then they go,
ah, ha, ha.
And then, but Dennis walks out and he just goes, Ronald Reagan will be 77.
I was like, oh, we're starting, okay?
And that goes to, you know, what's the one where I don't even let my grandfather
is the remote control?
Ronald Reagan is 77 at the end of his next term, and he has access to the button.
Okay, to put it perspective, my grandfather's 77, we don't let him use the remote control
in the TV cell.
So, Dana, you have a massive house.
Obviously, I have a little tiny shack that, you know, it's just humble.
Is 2,000 square feet massive?
So when you need home security, which a lot of people do, it's not a bad thing.
I always watch something online that shows someone got, and they always have video
about front, which is better to have video.
But could a home security system call security itself?
to respond if someone's already inside.
That's the idea.
Can we improve this?
Can we make it better?
And now, I guess we're about to announce there is a new way to actually stop someone from entering your home.
Right.
Simply say, if this is a little different, you can stop it before it happens.
The idea is AI powered cameras detect threats while they're still outside your home and alert real security agents.
And then the game changer is the agents take action.
while the intruder is still outside.
I like that.
They confront the intruder.
They let them know they're being watched on camera
and that the police is on the way
and even sound in a siren
or triggering a spotlight if needed.
This is how you stop a crime before it starts.
You want to get them when they're outside your house.
That's real security.
I mean, listen, now and then,
maybe it's someone on the sidewalk,
but if someone's getting in your grill of your house,
you want to stop it before.
And you've got to let them know.
You're already busted.
you really want to do this?
And they're like, nope.
Yep.
And they're called monitoring agents.
Simply sex monitoring agents.
They got your back and they talk to the intruders, even if you aren't home.
Yeah.
No long-term contracts or hidden fees.
You cancel any time.

You know how we always remember the quirkiest bit.
So Dennis had another one, you know.
They're coming out with that craftmatic bed these days.
Have you seen that, you know?
Getting that V going, you know.
what, you wake up and you go, wait a minute, did I blow myself last night? Yeah, you get that
V going. It's decision time. Should I suck my own dick? Yeah. Oh, is that weird? He tagged it
with that. I'm sure. Yeah. He says, the Lee Harvey Oswald, he goes, I haven't seen choreography
that smooth since the Lee Harvey Oswald prison transfer. Boom. Yeah, and he goes, Jesus. He goes,
and he goes, look at that. They pull him in. They go, hey,
us. Jack Ruby's here. He owns a local strip club. He's got a handgun. Should I let him in?
Yeah. Who the fuck are they turning away?
He is probably the times where I had to follow Dennis, because we used to meet him and
Kevin went out a little bit and we'd flip a coin. You had to deal with that energy because
that last 15 Pelosi's out there. And it's like a wave of just the his rhythm and that sarcasm and
all the references and then
here comes Dana Garnie
isn't that special?
Take me a while, man, to deal with that shit.
I got something else to tell you.
I'm going to read you something you didn't know.
Okay.
That's hard because I know a lot.
Even Heather will like this.
This is just some fun facts
about playing cards I didn't know.
I learned this.
52 cards, the traditional playing
cards thing? Okay.
Yeah. Oh, I thought you already knew it.
Yep, 52 cards in a deck.
was that the question no there's more to it um 52 cards equals 52 weeks in a year yes four suits
is the four seasons yes black and red is day night 13 cards because 13 weeks in a season
in each suit no one's shocked yet are you shocked yet i love this i'm a little i'm just i'm
I'm really curious.
It's why it's all tied into this one thing.
Also, who invented these traditional playing cards?
I don't know.
The last one is if you add the cards together and go Ace, Ace, 2, 2, 2, it's 364, if you add them all.
And then 365 days is the Joker for Leapier.
It's pretty cool.
Isn't that cool if it all fits, if it's not full-on bullshit?
would you rather be able to fucking a r i got a question for you not would you rather be able to
juggle really well or would you rather be able to one of those guys with playing cards you know
the lance burton and they're playing them out and then they're gone and i think the cards it's
too cool i would say the cards i palming cards i saw a guy there they palming he goes there's
your card and he goes no cards no cards there's your card and it's on his i go i never know
what's going on when they do the sleeve and they're like
Like, there's the card and there's no card.
It's like, unreal.
I love it.
Lance Burton was always, man, was he brilliant, is brilliant.
Lance Burton, remember him?
Yeah.
He'd be like this.
Hey, folks, how you're doing?
Then he'd have a lit candle in his hand.
You know, what's up?
He's in a tuxedo.
And lit candle.
You know, it's like, and then he goes like that and it's gone.
Oh, yeah.
He's grievous guy.
You can see Lance Burton.
He's pretty good.
You got to go see him.
I'll get you in, half off.
What about it?
What about Gervett 20?
I'm doing a little trick to you.
Watch.
I know.
It looks good.
That phone, I didn't know where it went.
Lance Burton.
Yeah, he was one of Lance Burton's got.
So just for the people at home that like to hear Gervett stories, I guess Dana doesn't like money.
He goes, I'm coming to your show.
Lucky you.
And I go, great.
Brings his kid and Tommy from the office.
And then they go.
Nice boys.
He goes, I got a booth for us.
I know you like booths because you're a little baby.
So we got a booth.
Five-15.
I go, get you high check.
5.15, are we going to get sunburn?
The show is at eight.
And we do have a quick meet and green right before, but I go, 515, I go, what do we do?
Do I go back to my room?
That's a little smidge early.
He goes, nope, you know, it gets crazy in there.
And a lot of people come to the show, 3,000 people.
I go, all right, well, let's, maybe a little later.
And he goes, why later?
And I go, he goes, we got to get on this.
I go, well, I don't want to rot for five.
I don't go on until nine.
So we, so at 4.58, he goes, downstairs.
Everything's just two syllables with a chirping posse.
Downstairs, got your booth.
Why not?
Oh, I want a tuna sandwich.
I can't eat it.
My jaw hurts.
Oh, my neck.
That's his impression of me.
So I go, well, I'll order something, but I just got in.
I think Dana's going to lay around for a second.
So I go, I'll come down.
But I feel guilty he's already there.
and then I take a shower and get ready
and then I write my set list
and I send him in order just to buy some time
okay, orders in within seconds
I go, all right is eat it now I got to do is eat it
now what I got some bread I'll save you some
I got you a napkin
napkins already I folded it
I was smart about that because I did the math
and said I'm gonna relax here
I don't I'm gonna go over my stand up notes
and I'm gonna order room service
because I know it'll be fast because everyone's in the casino.
And then I'm going to toddle in at 6.30, have a little water because too much small talk
and too much backstage chatter kind of takes a little bit energy.
So the time you go on stage, you're like exhausted.
So I felt sorry for you down there.
I go, fuck Spade's getting wiped out down there.
I'm just relaxing up here with my notes.
I finally text, Diego, Dana, come.
Because it was over.
I was a desperate text, pretty much where.
It was, where are you?
Well, we were having fun, actually.
Gerbitts is fun to hang out.
No, it is fun.
It's just energy before the show.
And it was like 6.30.
I'm like, Danny, get down here.
And then we'll all just hang out there instead of the green room because it was a nice place.
And then his kid goes, you don't understand it.
We got here at two.
And I go, why too?
And he goes, ask him.
And Mark goes, got to get her early, got to set up, got to make sure he's okay, got him gamble a little bit.
Jackson, here's $10.
Walk around for five hours.
Spend it really well.
It just, those guys were just.
young strapping guys like six foot handsome young men walking around the casino but anyway this is what
you said to me at 631 are you coming down coming spelled COMG denotes a bit of panic are you coming
down we finished just hanging yeah meaning you don't have to order you don't do anything like
I said yeah I was about to leave the room what's your problem I said where are you I don't want to
the Pine Cone restaurant.
Fucking, we went to the Pine Cone.
You know what happened to me?
I met a super fan.
Oh, boy, here's a super fan
because I was fluffed and folded
looking like Dana Farford.
Oh, you brought them over.
Well, then she goes, oh, oh, you're with David Spade.
Oh, can I give this to him?
So I said, just follow me.
Because she didn't seem dangerous.
So I walked in and then she handed you something
and that was it.
I'm your biggest fan.
Blam, blam, blam, blam.
I go, Dana.
No, I mean, she did get you to do a soft.
headlock which I thought was
move. Hey, come here you.
It was legal.
Come on.
Yeah, she gave me a note because
I did a favor for her.
That's right. That's what she said.
She was a very sweet.
I kept the note, which was nice.
I can read the room, David.
I knew she wasn't.
Yeah. I can read the room.
I can read the fan.
All right. What else did you do
before we get to the headlines? What else do you got?
Well, it's just the week of
the week of Trump right now so far, obviously, because of the ceasefire and the hostages being
released. And it was really funny. Yeah. Well, that I wanted to talk about.
I mean, obviously, Time Magazine and Trump are not best friends, but this piece thing.
This is a reluctant cover. So somebody at Time magazine went up to the end.
editor and go okay we're putting them on the cover we have to the hostages are back there could be a
peace deal what picture would you like well sir um we have one where it's from below which shows
kind of the folds in his neck yeah what's the worst like he's completely bald how about
he has yeah three wispy hairs or a cloud above his head that's so that is so funny that
they're like we got to put him on but what is the absolute worst let's go right up his
nose right under his chin and then it's like i hate to use your term vagina neck but he might have a little bit
it's unfair because the shirt with a tie pulls your neck together like that yeah well look at us i mean
basically a good for trump does a lot like his mugshot if they can find that was straightforward he
took one of the best mug shots during all those trials and it's straightforward he juts his jaw and so this
This one was, I thought it was just funny that they, they must have been laughing.
Well, they go back.
Did they put his name on it?
They don't put his name on it.
No.
It doesn't even say Trump on there.
It said, this fucking guy.
It said this fucking guy.
Yeah.
I mean, come on.
Do you have any other Time magazine, things you can pull up, Craig, of a regular one, like with, you know,
Clinton or Obama or something?
Because that is just, I thought it was pretty funny.
I wouldn't even put that on fucking Instagram.
Graham.
Christ, six, you know, he's got more folds in his neck than the bend folds five, Karen.
Ben folds five.
So, okay, there we go.
Those are some good.
Obama is that many?
Oh, my God.
Man, look at Obama's straightforward.
There's a couple repeats on the top right.
Click on that.
That is a great picture.
And the one with Hope is everywhere.
That was our third from the left.
It's just his face four.
Well, they're all great.
That probably got in the election, that Hope one.
oh yeah that one with the three colors trump's basically 80 and this is obama became president at what
45 also he didn't have any folds in his neck that's the thing the thing i want to say which i did
i did in my stand-up at the casino you did obama i was about how it's hard to compliment
trump if you have a problem with him so they'd sort of i was want to say there was the piece deal was a
great thing.
Releasing the hostage.
I want to give a shout out to
Senator Ruby, or Secretary
Rubio and Jared Kushner
and
and, and, um,
excuse me.
Who's that?
No, I said, Kushner and
don't know.
So, I mean, I did that,
I did that and then I did it.
I hatched it on our podcast and then I
did it at the casino and it killed.
That's always fun.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, what next story?
What else?
Let's get into some stories.
My fire alarm went off.
I don't know if you want to hear about that.
I would.
Were you scared?
It's so boring.
I scared shitless, dude.
It was 2 a.m.
Oh, it was 2 a.m.
It's pouring rain.
2 a.m.
And not just that,
not that one, which will drive you bonkers,
but like full sirens and fire, fire.
Oh, shit.
I hate when it talks.
It's a fire.
So I pop out with no plan, but I'm scared.
My heart's beating a million miles.
And then it stops, and I'm like, I don't even know what to do.
And here's how crazy I think someone did something.
I put a match up to a smoke going to flush me out of my bedroom.
Like they're trying to rob the plate.
So I freaked out.
Well.
The latest thought, it could be the hot air in the brain's room.
Oh, really?
Maybe.
That's been a while.
You know the brains of a house where you have like...
Yeah.
They get hot, you know, all these machines.
Got too warm inside a room.
And it might be kicking it off.
But it took this long.
I've been here three or four years.
But anyway, it went off.
I pooped my pants, obviously freaked out.
And then it stopped, but I couldn't...
I was like, are firemen coming?
It was terrifying.
Couldn't sleep for an hour.
Oh, terrible.
And then, you know, just whacked off, went to bed,
whatever I do normally, and is to calm down.
And then I'm...
So I wake up.
But then I'm scared all day.
We look in and we go, it'll never happen again, that night again.
Fire, fire.
At the same time or just at night?
After our gig when I got home, at 5 in the morning this time.
Never in the day.
Too convenient.
AI will solve this, but that is, you want to know the weirdest thing I've ever seen at night?
Or did you have finished your thoughts?
Oh, well, yesterday we fixed him and Heather got electrocuted by it.
Is it really fixed?
Was it just a reboot?
kind of thing he doesn't care no one cares i'm telling you you can try everyone and no one bites on that
they go oh cool so she's alive or dead anyway um so it's you i got electrocuted dana
you did you did you're like you fell away and got a ladder you oh you got a shock and fell down
120 volts 1-2-0 volts wow what does that feel like your whole body your whole body
you go geez didn't you know no one's giving her enough empathy on did you
Do you have gloves on that?
We did not have shit because we were rag tag mission.
Put the ladder up.
Get up.
I tried it.
She tried it.
I tried to.
Unscrew, unscrew.
Unplug.
Forget the batteries.
You got to get the wires out.
Our guy goes, it won't shock you naturally.
He's like, okay, it might shock you a little bit.
We're like, so he came over today.
He's doing all of them.
Reddoing all of them because I'm too scared.
Mm-hmm.
I would pay money to not have that.
All this stuff wears you down.
I mean.
I go, Dana, I go, I'll pay anything.
I just want this to stop.
He goes, all right, we're going to, each one's going to cost this much.
I go, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I said, I'll pay anything.
And then he goes, they're 40 bucks for a new one.
I go, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Well, we bought a new range, brand new superstar range.
Range.
And they put it in the kitchen.
I had to take the old one out, 50 years old.
Man, it's gorgeous.
But if you put it to 400, the other.
and it's to 3.50. So you have to put it to 4.50. So it was just bugging us like,
what was wrong. So a guy came out like, hey, I'll fix this. You know, usually the customer is too
stupid to understand. He's got the whole thing taken apart. He's on his knees in the kitchen.
He's on the phone. I don't know, man. I don't know, man. So they're coming back.
Ah, more interesting. But I want to tell you the scariest I've ever been in the night.
Go ahead.
living in Encino didn't really understand or wasn't I knew what a possum was
but was not aware of possums in particular so there's the alarm goes off or we believe
that we're looking at a rat the side of border collie like it seemed like a 70-pound rat
yeah and we're both flipped out and then we had to go oh shit it's going away and it's it's
2 a.m. Oh, it's a possum. It's a possum. But that one blink of a rat that big stayed with me.
I thought the scariest you had been is when you had pressure on your chest from a ghost
when you're on a trip. Well, that was more, well, that was an actual poltergeist pressing down on me.
It wasn't an illusion and it wasn't a mistaken rat. It was just because it happened.
Then I go, I must have been an awaking dream state. Oh, I'll go back to sleep.
and then happened right again when I was awake
because I am, you know.
I remember when you had that illusion, yeah.
Yeah, no, that was this heavy weight,
you know, about 150 pounds on me.
Terrify.
I realized it was you.
I went Spade.
I woke up my wife.
Don't we have a show you night?
Let's get on the pod.
You're like,
hey, he, he, he, buddy.
Wake up, Dana.
Go, get off me.
This is a nice hotel.
Get off.
Off me, I'm trying to do Chris Farley.
Get off. I'm starving.
Lay off me. I'm starving.
Okay, let's go to that story. This is a story you had about AI.
Okay, I just want to set this up, that this is real and this is the future, and you're seeing this at some port in America where everything is a robot controlled by AI.
Or China, yeah. Or China. I think it's China. Oh, really?
Boop, boo, bo.
Oh, see, they don't crash.
Nope.
There's no road rage at all.
No road rage.
All control.
Look at how close they come.
Yep.
Not a problem.
We fit right in.
Self-driving.
Tetris.
Yep.
I can handle that.
We would usually in America have a guy like this with a flag and the only is.
But everything, yeah, everything comes off the boat.
Everything has moved.
Everything has moved to another, a truck or something without employees.
and that's what I call a secular trend.
Do you know what a secular trend is?
No, sir.
It's just things that aren't political.
They're sort of like, you know, people are aging.
They're living longer.
And now we're seeing robotics, AI, basically, doing all these jobs.
Fighting it every step of the way.
And that's not whoever is the president or the Congress.
We're just transitioning into this world.
Well, it saves money and that's what's making a good.
that's a job of the corporation is to be more productive people that have jobs you have no jobs and it's
i know so universal basic income how much do you think it should be when there's just no jobs you
got to give people oh uh it'll probably no 50,000 is that it too high too low i don't know i don't know
I mean, every, I don't know what you'll be doing.
We need money for gas, well, you need money,
it will be like a microchip in your hand
and you'll have to just go, I get this,
I have carbon points against me, I can't do anything.
It takes money out of your bank.
I mean, the future, I think those things are sort of happening.
Well, you know, this slow transition
to a lot of four-day weeks and stuff with companies,
you know, three-day weekends, or work from home,
or because of the AI and machinery and automation,
you know, like a McDonald's might have one or two employees
instead of eight or nine, you know, because of automation.
So that's the first thing that's the planning jobs.
But I think initially, you know, a thousand a month is a good barrier
for people who have some kind of job and have some income,
but another thousand a month net keeps them.
Did I go too high?
Well, I don't know.
It's depending how many, how do we do it?
I don't know.
This is, you know, Elon Musk is talking about it.
We're going to have to give money to people.
We're going to give money.
They won't be jokes.
Gerberts's what?
Heather, check in with him to see what he wants.
Losing his mind.
Gerwitz keeps calling and interrupting the podcast.
He keeps track of her schedule.
He knows they're doing a podcast.
No, I don't.
I talk to Stephen Marty.
It's a nice little run
You start in Toronto
That's all I'll say
He has so many comedians
He's like
Steve Martin and Martin Short
are his favorites to put on the road
I went and saw Steve and Marty
Yeah I know
They do a lot of dates
They're great
All right next story next story
Next story keep it rolling
Keep moving
We're rolling right along
My glowing hair
Where does that door
Go into that thing.
Where does the door go into the air?
To the air?
My biggest question that I get is where these doors go in my new place.
So you can actually open these doors, we're not supposed to because they're helping safety stuff, but you can't open them.
Yeah, I don't really like heights, so I'm not open it.
But when you're moving to a place like this high, basically you get given parachutes.
So if anything happens, you have to open one of them doors and just send it.
Is that true?
Is that true?
He's got a parachute in his closet, and if there's something happens, he'll parachute out.
Did Tom Cruise design the building or something?
Well, if there was some sort of 9-11 situation, you were up there, you'd be like, if this is my only option and you're so high, I would never live one of those buildings.
But if you're so high, what do you got to do?
Get a Phillips and take the hinges off the door first.
What's the highest you've lived, the highest building you've lived in?
Oh, not much.
I mean, even New York, it was probably like 12th floor.
I don't like when your ears pop on an elevator.
I don't like that.
I my first year there I was in a 44th floor at the Bromley Columbus Circle no then eventually
I went to the Bromley it's like three floors you could jump if there was a dumpster and be safe
you know who lived at the Bromley you Mike Farley for a while me first then they all came in
yeah they did they follow because they go who do we know and someone says oh the Bromley's nice
I was Upper West Sideway I never got to the Bromley it was too rich my blood but I think even
kneeling maybe dennis well it was great i mean they had big big windows and that you're kind of on top
of a movie theater you could leave for a movie starting at two o'clock at 159 and still be early so
you know and it was columbus columbus avenue was a block away and it's a clumbus cafe and you know
it's like a really really good place to live um yeah so it was by columbus cafe that john went to a lot
Love it. I went there a lot. Yeah.
Columbus was cool.
Okay, next one.
Something about the richest man in.
Man in China just bought a facility in New Hampshire.
Now, what is he doing?
He actually bought it for his beverage company.
For over $60 million, way over the asking price.
And it's right next to what?
The town's water supply.
He's gathering two million.
gallons per day for his beverage company so now the chinese have control of new hampshire's water supply
allow a whole other country to buy up freeways because they bought highways in your hometown
farmland highways so the the chinese just bought the data you know those fast lanes what they call
them in in uh oh the speed lanes yeah speed lanes right they just bought a highway that's it either
what what can't they buy well i know that chicago
sold the rights to the parking meters in town to Saudi Arabia because they needed quick
money and now they're making a billion dollars more than they thought they would and so they
really Saudi won that one but all that money goes to them now so I don't know could you
buy things in China from America could you buy the same things I think that's the point of
that whole thing is are we being dumb I don't um that that
That is, that's the whole kind of issue, I guess, is like, can they can buy our stuff?
Can we buy their stuff?
They can sell us their stuff?
Can we sell our stuff?
That's that whole tariff thing.
Which every president has tariffs, but Trump went a little bigger.
We're going to go big.
We're going to go big.
And when the people get mad now, he'll go, I'm the hostage guy.
Leave me alone.
You just got to wait.
It's going to be good.
it's gonna be good i mean it is interesting how much the stock market just goes crazy if
trump says something or jerome pal what happened with bitcoin the other day took a shit it took a
mother i don't know it took the dirtiest shit it was like at 124 and in 30 minutes it dropped like
109 and then the raw i'm not going to say which ones but there was some apps that wouldn't
let you buy low they're like we're having difficulties and i think there's one dude that bought
and then it went back up and he do you do you and i'm just going to say this john kennett center
now david you be honest here do you understand bitcoin i do not i've i've had people who are you know
this is the future and i've never quite grasp it i know because gold is like 4100 an ounce
so i could see that a hedge alternative currency but i don't know why
it goes up to a million dollar a coin in 2030 I mean someone could explain it to us but I
all I know is in my dealings with it I buy high sell low you think you should buy
low sell high I know I think I heard it wrong because I definitely got out I didn't
really lose money but it went up and then it sort of came back down and then I got
scared I just have some which I'd set a level that
it i can afford to lose it it was just like in case it goes to three million a coin i don't want
to be you know it was chump chang sitting here with my dick in my hand yeah i agree i don't have
any left but uh i do have a pokey monk no i don't have anything really i understand the premise
of a company that makes goods or services that people really like yes and pay for those goods and
services and then the company gushes in all this money and has net earnings and so
forth i understand that but bitcoin as an alternative currency i can understand it and the built-in
um scarcity that they have so so basically this is what i have a hard time wrap my mind around
there's a seventh grader in 2009 hey man i'm gonna buy some bitcoin dude i don't know how much is it
It's about four cents a Bitcoin.
I'm going to buy 500 of them.
And then by 2016, that guy's worth $50 billion and gets out.
He's like a high school senior.
That I don't understand.
I definitely would get out.
I would never be the guy that keeps all in the whole time.
I would be like, I'm going to trickle it out even if it goes up.
But I'm going to get something out of this shit.
Because when FTX went down, that's why I sold mine because I go, oh, I didn't know it could go to zero.
I thought it could just go up.
and down, but everything went, like, this isn't even...
FTX was when...
Oh, that thing, you know, Tom Brady was tied into it.
And you're like, oh...
A cryptocurrency, yeah.
Some crypto thing just flattened and I go, oh, I don't like this.
Somebody could be just scamming, you know.
Well, do you understand this concept?
The greater fool theory?
The greater fool theory is that you buy an asset, say,
Bitcoin and eventually goes up and up and up. You bought it for like 3,000 a coin. Now it's
100,000 coin. So for you to make money, you got to sell it to someone who's not disturbed by
getting in at 100,000 or 200,000. So all you need is a greater fool to sell it to. Get out,
convert it to cash, dollars, and then buy a mansion. But I'm not against Bitcoin.
I hope it works out for friends of mine that are in it. I hope it has thesis. It already has.
You know, 120 Bitcoin,000.
Anyway.
Okay, next one, let's see.
And then we'll wrap up.
We're getting...
We're getting deep in the weeds.
It's been a great episode.
It's been a fucking week.
Okay.
Okay, this just says the word machine.
Oh, I know what this is.
I thought it's like, not heavy.
I watched these every night.
How much time I need to do like, same like waiting?
Two, three years of training.
Even with protein.
I would say at least four.
These guys are musclemen explaining to the january.
We have to get anatoly.
Is it okay, I will just try this joke.
He's got to the same.
These guys are the hilarious-looking muscle-roomed.
Look how fucking Roy did they are.
And look at his little suit and his beard.
He just picks it up.
He's a professional weightlifter, but they don't know it.
It's so great.
Look at he looks at himself.
I want these, yeah.
He's one of the strongest men for his side.
in the world.
We're doing like usually like this one.
They use two hands, they can barely figure it.
Yeah.
I'm just one of my mouth.
What do you think?
I'm naturally strong.
Look at the rock knock off.
They go, are you kidding, bro?
You're gonna hurt yourself.
That guy's the knock off the bald guy.
I can't believe no one has seen it enough.
He can still go into gyms and fool people,
but Anatoly is a world-class,
class weightlifter like he can bench like you know 500 pounds and deadlift 600 pounds he's
incredibly strong for 510 170 and he goes in there puts on a fake beard and he does have a bit
of an accent but he plays like the idea guys guys you mind if i get in there it's like borat coming
and they go yeah they think you're going to they say man you're going to hurt yourself man no i just
want to show you great technique great and then he does it and then they go to their favorite
I watch these all the time.
My algorithm feeds at, I probably watched 10 of them last night.
It's funny.
I don't like prank ones, but that one is good because nobody gets heard.
It's just funny.
It's not really mean.
It's just, yeah.
No, it's not mean.
How do I do this?
It's like, remember, we should go to a comedy club and just put on big beards and go,
sorry, we don't really know.
First time, could we please do comedy, you know?
I don't know if it would be quite.
It's like when Jewel went into karaoke with a wig, like she was just part
the girls from the office and then everyone's like she's fucking good i don't know we probably
i'd probably bomb anyway by going too long with my scarface bit dana we all loved it oh it's great
to have a you know i i sort of think to myself huh here i am 50 years in kind of or 40 years in
and i still really care you know that i that i get a lot of laughs and i kind of
a wonder, I go, it's not going to change my life, but it's the same vibe.
Same feel. You want to do good. Every time you get hired, you want them to say, you're worth
the money. We're glad we hired you. You did a good job. You were nice to people. You made
everyone happy. That's, I'm glad I saw that too. I don't like just walk in there and go, I don't
give a shit. Oh, no. It's the exact same thing. When I do corporates, I know that a lot of great
comedians have come before me over the years. And so I always want them to say, well, you were the best.
It's my 10-year-old boy of competitiveness, you know.
Right.
Sometimes they go, oh, you know, after your show, they walk you back, they go,
you know who really killed here was, and I go, that's all.
I don't even need to hear the name.
That's fine.
I know.
You know who it probably was.
Sinbad.
I thought it was you.
I just did one where they go, Dana's on our next one.
I was like, yeah.
I go to the trouble of spending a half hour online.
looking at the company and then I do stuff about them that's my my little hat that's smart you know
I put an effort I mean I'm in the hotel room I'm waiting they're paying me a X you know very good money
to do what I'm doing so you're like is Dale Watkins here from the executive branch of sales
division they're like Dale I heard you I have all my schick I'll say to the minions that are there to
guide me through I go so what do you I'm sorry but what do you want me to do again is it
Is it stand up or can I just play the guitar and they take it seriously?
And sing songs.
Can I just talk to the people?
Yeah.
Is it just sort of a...
Am I just answering questions about the company?
Right.
Am I...
Like, what?
Do you mind if...
I mean, I'm not sure what I was supposed to do here.
I was hired, but I'd like to sing a little bit first seriously.
Can we play Duck, Duck, Duck, Goose?
Have you ever had him go, don't do literally anything about the CEO.
look at them don't say anything don't do anything they say no political statements yeah that's
why i always say i don't i don't do political statement i roll up the whatever flag of whatever country i go
oh for real okay oh okay so that there goes my chunk there goes my 20 minutes in the middle
roll roll roll up uh but the way i do it it's not political statements it's just political
comedy different all right well i think everyone i think everyone's walking away a little dumber today
and we learned about the greater fool theory we learned about automation so planning jobs and we
try to entertain but if we can educate we're very happy to do it i think everyone's like this is like
college yeah some people have to lie down they get they put a cold compress on their
there you have so much learning all the intellectual stimulation these two dipshits are talking about
so many things i can't even god why didn't we call this podcast these two dipshits
it's such a good word
