Well, he's taking his shoes off, and what are you doing?
You're just kind of standing there.
Yeah.
And what's your motivation in the scene?
To not get laid.
So you never worked with props.
Did you go through any incarnation where you dressed in something different or you were always
Theo right up like you are going to.
I mean, I've been a recovering drug addict most of my life.
So that is the prop that never leaves your...
It's always go-to-able.
That's that monkey on your back.
If that's not a prop.
I mean, David's the best to be around.
Everybody loves him. He's the funniest.
Everybody says he's the funniest.
So how does that, when you hear that, Dana, how does that make you feel?
Sorry to spin this back.
Oh, holy shit.
What's up, guys?
I like your shot.
See, why are we all tight up here, man?
We look like dog shit.
I'm on the bad side of 50.
I thought y'all looked better.
I thought you were going to look worse, honestly.
Yeah.
Oh, we got tools.
We have tools.
I knew you'd wear a baseball cap.
That's why I did this.
Oh, thanks, man.
But your hair is crazy in this movie.
Your hair is wildly awesome in busboys.
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty, I mean, it's definitely we cut it.
Didn't they put a lot of product in?
I mean, it looks like extra, extra.
I mean, nothing like urban, nothing that would get me accepted in like, you know, in the urban community.
B.
Yeah.
Herb.
Get me in a
yeah.
Oh,
I thought he said herb
like in peppers
or something.
No.
No.
Nothing like the funnier way.
Theo has,
Theo has the hair
for about six people.
It's like,
there's a sprout over here
and there's crops over here.
It's just,
there's so much going on.
But in the movie,
I remember he came out with
one day with like a little stash.
He's like,
maybe what if I had a little stash?
And I go,
yeah,
that wouldn't be bad
because it still looks like you.
We don't want to shock
people with a total de Niro transformation.
But then he came out a minute later, he goes, yeah, I took it off.
I'm like, okay.
This would have been good for Theo.
I wrote a character once in a movie that shaved his or took his eyebrow off and then put
it down and put it down and glued it and pretended it was mustache.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we've all, I think that's a common prison experience is people, you know, transferring
hair amongst each other for different uses.
but I was on a cruise one time and they had like a costume party and we didn't have any
we needed a mustache and we didn't have any.
So this Brazilian guy had a bunch of good hair and so he cut us off probably a couple
grams of hair.
Yeah.
Half baggy.
Yeah, just something to get us through the evening.
Just under the legal amount.
I thought that would be a conversation stopper.
No way.
Theo comes up, well, of course we had mustaches glued to us on a boat.
What are you talking about?
There's a guy that had a mustache in the movie.
And when we walk out of frame, Theo goes, like he's got those prison curtains or something.
And I was like, Theo always comes up with something to say.
Prison.
And Dana was saying one of the big laughs because, you know, when Nate Diaz beats up the car,
we're not going to talk about the movie the whole time, but when Nate Diaz beats up the car,
Nate and Chris, and we're just standing there.
We have nothing to say other than just watch.
that action then Theo goes hey fellas we're going to get some pizzas medium pizza
yeah that made me laugh out loud because it's so I don't know something about it
it's so specific and gentle versus all their weird violence and just why would they need that
information so Theo's whole thing when there's questions it gets funnier like well those guys
were those guys were alarming I think and they alarming is a good sedative word for what they
were on the low end.
Do they scare you for reels a little bit?
Because don't they just punch people?
Look, I think they grew up in an asbestos home, maybe even.
Lead.
Yeah, heavy lead, probably.
Pencils everywhere.
Unlimited, just probably boxes of pencils in the walls.
Different kinds of fungus in the freezer.
Fungi.
Weevils, mold.
Who knows what they've been through.
Yeah, they've been through a lot.
But when they came to set, Theo did get a little giddy.
It was like they're here.
So we went over there to make them feel at home like we do with everybody.
we come say hi
and then that was the day
they beat up someone
and threw them in the trunk.
I don't know if they know
they're not supposed
to actually beat someone up
so we have to say
pretend beat up
which is not really
what they do
and where are they from Stockton
is that one is?
Yeah,
they're from Stockton
and it is a
fist first community up there
I believe.
That's what the license place
says.
Fist first in this town.
So is San Francisco
shockingly.
Oh,
I was in the Hayd Ashbury.
We were flowers first.
Sorry.
Yeah.
You're on Polk Street?
No.
Yeah, where were you down there?
Were you down there?
What were you doing on there?
Canoodling down there under the bridge.
Converting laundry mat turned into a comedy club called the other cafe,
a corner of Carl and Cole right in the Hayd Ashbury.
That was where I was.
Okay.
I'm going to tell you a story, Dana.
And Theo, you can listen.
Okay.
You have 20 seconds.
When I was just a tyke and I came.
out from Arizona to stay at my mom's house and try to do stand-up.
I had seen a comic in Arizona.
The first one I saw I do an hour, don't guess.
And he was great.
And I was like, is he making this shit up?
It's like comedy is so.
I was only doing amateur nights, but I'm like, this is so crazy to see a guy do a whole hour.
I'd only seen guys on late night talk shows, do five.
So anyway, he talks to me.
My friend knows him.
He says, if you're ever in LA, say hi.
Of course, I thirstily hit him up, which is like the worst thing you can do because they don't really
mean it. But he's like, hey, let's go walk on Westwood. I drove my mom's rabbit. You know,
we had a pretty cool car. And so anyway, we're there and he goes, we should go see the wrath
of Khan. This is such a specific story I remember because it was traumatizing. Should we guess who
the comedian is? No, no, no, no, no. You both know. You both know. Okay. You'll figure out. So then I go,
oh, we're, we're in Westwood. I got to run home. It's about half hour. I think I can make the
movie, I got to take a shower. He goes, you can take one here. Now, what gentleman says to a new
friend, you can take one here, but of course, me, probably Kevin Spacey, I'm going to guess.
I already put a guess in early. Don't jump ahead. Sorry. Innocent, sweet, adorable me. It's like
Tim Dillon in the movie because we don't understand what's going on. So anyway, here I am. He goes,
take a shower at my house. I go, oh, no alarms went off, no red flag. Okay.
Okay. So I go in the shower. I hear, fucking, door open. I'm like this.
It's like, uh, did you get the per plus that you're finding everything? Am I finding everything?
I found the water coming down. I found the soap. He goes, need any help? I go, help what, sir? I've taken so many showers at this point. I've almost got it down pat.
And he just stays in the bathroom. The bathroom is this.
big and then the curtain's here he's in the other side going so all systems go we're doing
great we're going to make the movie i'm like i can hear you from outside the door and then
but of course no alarms looking back traumatized because then i finished and he lost interest in the
movie he's like we can still go if you want i'm like was that was the whole point right and he
says no the shower was so um so he was native american i don't know i'm going slow motion like
They do on Instagram.
It's funny.
So we go to the Ratha Khan, which is fucking, I don't want to give it all the way, but.
Oh, I like that.
Ricardo Maltabon.
Are you going to come out of the closet at the end of this story?
What is this?
What I'm thinking is, ladies and gentlemen, the molestable David Spade.
We did a movie show called the molestables.
I had two situations like that.
So I've had a couple of those.
This is how it happens.
This is how.
No, it just kind of shocked me.
It was just a comedian friend at my apartment, whatever.
Yeah, I see you later.
And then I take a shower.
He's gone, you know?
And then suddenly he's in the bathroom.
Hey, what's up?
I mean, the same kind of story.
I'm like, what?
And then another one, I was in an apartment,
and this guy got the wrong idea.
He was a script supervisor on the show I was doing.
He knocked on the door.
He walks, he's supposed to deliver a script.
He walks right past me.
me there's a loft he sits down on the bed stops starts taking his shoes off just like that and i had to
kind of go i think you got a wrong idea i mean what would you have said in that situation theo i
i was tongue tied well he's taking his shoes off and what are you doing you're just kind of standing
there and what's your and what's your motivation in the scene to not get laid to gently explain to him
feeling mostly empathetic of like you got this all wrong i mean he turns
bright red he was humiliated.
You're still at the door.
You're still like,
no, I mean,
I had my shoes off too.
We sat.
Wait a second.
It doesn't matter.
No,
but it was,
I felt bad for him instantly.
It was not,
I wasn't,
leading the guy on a little bit to be honest.
It's hard to get someone
out of a beanbag chair,
to be honest.
Yeah, yeah.
You got to pull him,
they got to roll off.
I was clickbait then.
I had blonde bangs.
I looked like a child.
Clickbait.
I was so hot.
I got kidnapped almost.
When I was in a mall when I was a kid, because I had, no way.
I had a blonde long hair.
I was about 10.
Honestly, it was almost entrapment.
I was so fucking cute.
I looked like early home alone, McCauley Calkin, like the first one.
And I was just like tra-l-la-law and this guy.
I'll tell you later, Theo.
Yeah.
Let's stay with this theme.
No, but we're doing good here.
But imagine.
But we're doing good here.
Imagine.
Let's stay with this team.
Go ahead.
Imagine some pedophile picking up one of you chatty, Kathy's, dude.
would have been like, I got to get, they'd have dropped you back at the mall.
Yeah, we're in the van and he's like, is this story almost over?
We got to stop.
I'm like, keep going around the mall, dude.
I got more to say.
He's like, oh, boy.
This is one long run on sentence.
Yeah, there's just no, there's no perfect way to get sexually assaulted, I guess, is something to say, you know.
And that we'll think we can all agree.
Let's look at a clip.
All right.
No, Theo.
You think you guys would have made it in the Epstein files or not?
Let's get real about it.
Let's get political.
Let's get political.
Theo's whole thing is let's tiptoe into politics and then run away and go, what?
What?
It's like the water touched him.
Oh, you're fighting everything in there?
God, you're walking them.
You're walking the crowd.
Dana, come back.
Oh, he just went to the bathroom.
By the way, when I first saw Theo, Dana.
Oh, there's Epstein.
He's got a little puppet.
Witness protection.
That's not Epstein.
I'm not Jeffrey Epstein.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
That's it.
So I wanted to use the puppet.
We'll see you.
Let's see what's going on.
His show has no fucking puppets.
It's flatlining.
I love that.
I love the puppet idea.
You know what?
You know,
I will say this.
When I first started doing comedy,
you'd find more men with puppets and with,
you know,
on stage animalia with,
with a, you'd find more men doing a guitar act.
A lot of that has disappeared.
That's true.
A lot of song parodies I used to love.
I had a trunk because Robin Williams had a trunk.
I had a trunk.
I'd go to a toy store and get things.
I had a Gumby doll and I would just hold it up and say,
ladies and gentlemen, Gumby, and then I would just stretch it and go,
ah, huge laugh.
I see it.
That's like a Stretch Armstrong Gumby.
So you never worked with props.
Did you go through any incarnation where you dressed in something different?
Or you were always Theo right up like.
I mean, I've been a recovering drug addict most of my life.
So that is the prop that never leaves you.
That's always go-toable.
That's that monkey on your back.
If that's not a prop.
You know, it's like, here's Theo's first stand upset.
Hi, when I was in third grade, my teacher was an assalot.
that one's like how many people were at this tiny town covington well here's a i will say this crazy
story is that um david shot jo dirt too in the town that i grew up that's right and i went
did you go watch the movie getting made were you just a little kid then or something yeah where
i saw the first the first one i remember seeing the first one and i didn't know that whatever i'd
watched it on we watched it on an intercom we didn't have regular audio at the house sure and so we had
we watched it.
We had to listen to an intercom.
Well, wait a minute.
The sound for the TV came over an intercom?
Yeah, because we lived in part of an old school.
Yeah, we're in the capric area.
Go ahead.
Well, it was just the way it was set up.
Look, I just live there.
Yeah.
All right.
You guys want to judge a child?
You guys want to judge a child.
But it sounds like heaven compared to my childhood, but it's not a competition.
Go ahead.
Okay, good.
But anyway, yeah, it's not a competition.
But anyway, so it was hard to judge.
to tell and everything kind of sounded like a documentary.
So I remember the first time I saw,
Joderreira, I thought it was a documentary.
I thought this young man had been left at the,
it was like a date, almost like a dateline episode or something that was really long.
And it was like this young man had been left at the Grand Canyon by his family.
Yeah.
And so we were always looking for David when I was a kid.
Like we were like,
trying to help out.
Yeah.
Like, had we says anybody seen him or whatever?
We'd draw pictures of him around town like look for him or whatever.
And, uh, but anyway, yeah.
So when I, so years.
later I learned it was an actual film and that David was an actor.
He let me down before I even met him.
Because, yeah, I was always one in the missing child spade.
You know, the one that was just the chatty Kathy.
It's definitely more interesting.
The chatty Kathy.
Chaddy Kathy is a funny phrase.
But anyway, so, but anyway, it was just ironic that years later he shot that in the town
that I'm from.
And then years later that we became friends and that we wrote busboys together.
You know, when I heard about Theo, because they just said this guy has a mullet, and that's, that's enough to get me in the building.
And I think I talked to Theo with Adam Eaget and some other people in the hallway at the comedy store for definitely a long time before I saw Zach.
I already was in on his sort of unique unicorn type of humor, which you don't see a lot.
You know, you see a lot of funny people, but you don't see like an interesting, more one-of-a-kind thing.
And then I was laughing anyway.
And then by the time I saw Zach,
I saw you one time at that COVID in the round Saratella show.
What is that called?
Oh, yes.
Supernova.
That place was crazy.
And they're like,
we're going to pay you like $2,000.
We'll have to pay you at midnight.
We're going to pay you.
It won't be money.
Yeah,
it was like a Nigerian guy will email you.
You're like,
this is.
Yeah,
we're going to pay you in pecan,
which are going up during COVID.
And then he's,
wait,
let me tell you one of his jokes.
Dana, let him do his story.
I know, I like to interrupt him once in a while.
Yeah, never mind.
Then do it.
If I get to five, I win something.
It's a, it's a polymarket thing.
Go ahead.
I think, Dana, I was just saying, like, early on, one of the, I think he's
Nicaraguan, so he says, where my knickers at?
That was funny.
And then I think you said something about if you were ever reincarnate, you go, I heard
about, I was talking to something about reincarnation the other day.
And you know what?
I think I'm going to do it.
That was like, funny that it was going to be your.
decision and then things you would come back as what race he asked somebody what race
would you come back in mexican is what i would landed on after much landed on after much debate
and discussion with my lord and savior i have if mexicans will have me that's what i'm going to be
next time yeah i think it's a good move that five two nation yeah dude that's it they are bro
the five two nation dude you get to be the same height as your girlfriend that's a beautiful thing about
being mexican oh it's a big advantage dude
Heather is laughing at every single one of your jokes.
I know.
It's great.
This is the most kidding.
This is the hardest.
Usually 20 minutes go by before we hear a giggle.
But this is a good sister.
She's used to all of our stuff.
Yeah.
She's like this.
No, he did that.
And then even in Bus Boys, we're writing and putting together the stupid movie.
But that's number four on Amazon.
But also, when there's some jokes in there,
that people were like, did Theo just make that up?
I'm like, some he did, but some he makes up while we're writing it.
And they sound like they're just made up.
When Leah McKendrick, who plays Romina, who actually, I don't know if you know this, Theo,
she just wrote and directed a rom-com on Netflix.
Did you really?
Yeah, voicemails for Isabel.
It's number one right now on Netflix.
Did you know that?
I don't know.
She was great in the movie, but she, we're introducing ourselves,
and she says, I'm a Sagittarius, blah, blah, blah.
And then Theo goes, we're two adult males.
And see?
So anytime it's like that, you know, it's a Theo joke because I wouldn't have written that joke for him.
I would, he just says something different on almost every take.
And then you have to say, which one should we use?
David has all the jokes in him, right?
So you have to trick him.
You have to do something.
He's like, oh, I couldn't, I wouldn't have done that.
Right.
I think that's like a lot of ways of most comics.
You have to find something that they like, I don't know.
That's how comics get impressed.
Like, oh, I, that wouldn't have like.
Oh, he tricked me, yes, because I would have written something maybe more normal,
but that's the beauty of like, there's some stuff that's more my humor.
And the combo is more fun because Theo is one of the funniest guys.
I know.
So, so funny.
And so when he puts those things in there, we just all laugh when we cut because you don't know what's coming out.
And that's what people, I think, wanted to see from him.
And that's the hard.
That's hard, but he does a great job with that.
Well, that's nice of you.
Yeah.
I don't believe.
I believe you believe what you're saying.
Yeah.
I don't believe the nice stuff.
No, it's a lie, but I do sort of believe it.
Look, kid, we got to get you back to the mall, man.
This is kidding.
Dude, there I'm in the mall.
That's your happy place.
Yeah, my mom would drop us off.
You know, in those days, she dropped us off.
10 a.m. pick us up at six.
I mean, a good eight-hour chunk.
She gave me a quarter in case everything went sideways.
But no one blank.
There was no moms on Facebook going,
by I saw Judy Spade dropping.
No, no one gave me fat fuck.
And they were like, what a great idea.
Get rid of these fucking kids.
The mall was so fun.
I wound up in the card store.
And then my mom came in a few hours later.
I don't know if she's in there.
And this guy who's like 50,
which is not old now.
not old to that to when I'm 10 it's old and not my type at all he comes up and he goes hey are
are hey do you want to go uh do you want an ice ice cream cone and I go and I go could it be a
snow cone first of all I'm like no ice cream ice like why am I bartering it's the it's like winning
the lottery of course I want it there's no red flags there's no tingling so I go of course
and I go could it be a snow cone and he goes
okay, what are you waiting for, sir?
I'm going to be chained to a radiator in five minutes.
There's no ice cream or snow cone.
What do you care?
Then the second he talks.
It's hard to eat ice cream by a radiator too.
Yeah, and it's all hot and it's melting.
Got to eat fast.
I'm like, dude, you waited a hair too long because then my mom says, hey, and I go,
oh, there's my mom.
Real quick, I should get my windbreaker.
And he goes, no, no, no.
And I go, hey, mom, I'm going to buzz by this guy with his band.
We're going to grab.
And she's like, no, you're not.
And I go, hey, dude, mom says no going.
He's like, we had a deal.
But I didn't know how traumatizing it was for him because he had me on the hook.
And then I was like, oh, and I'm just bummed.
I didn't get a snow cone out of the whole deal.
Yeah, dude.
Well, you hate to lose a good kid that you don't know that well.
That's got to be tough for that guy.
Yeah, when you're just, he could have been innocent.
But it's got to be a lot for those guys to drive all the way over to the mall.
You know what I'm saying?
Clean out their van first, probably some of them in the decent ones.
Just the gas.
Yeah, the gas alone of being.
Because then they got,
they're going to drive you a hundred miles at least after.
Oh, yeah,
we got to drive in circles while I yap a fucking blabalanch.
So what happened like the next weekend at the mall with you?
I mean,
was there.
Well,
I don't know either.
I wasn't as hot.
I don't know.
But I wasn't getting the attention I deserved.
Yeah.
Oh,
I got a funny story about Theo.
So we're at this Netflix brunch a couple weeks ago at Ted's house.
Oh,
Oh, yeah, dude, it was crazy.
All of, like, the people you ever even have seen that made you laugh or there.
Everybody from comedy was there.
He was standing around, dude.
And Dana was invited just so the record knows.
Ted even hit me up twice at Bring Dana, bring Dana.
And I said, you were actually maybe going to be in town, Dan, and then you couldn't be.
No, I've weirdly injured my back because I was traveling so much.
That's right. That's right.
And all the suitcase stuff, a rolling suitcase on carpet for a half mile.
Carpet is.
So then I found out about this guy.
I could have just do all that in Malibu.
So that's why I wasn't there.
I would have been there.
It would have dominated.
Oh, yeah.
You would have.
So here's me and Theodore and then
Bobby Lee.
And then we see Kate Hudson.
And so she says,
I've seen that guy on something.
And I said, yeah, I go,
I go, you should meet him.
He's really nice.
So I say Theo, you want to say hi?
And here's where Theo cracks me up again.
He comes over.
He's kind of got his arm straight and stiff.
total weirdo.
And then she goes, oh, hi, blah, blah, blah.
And then he's like, where are you from, Covington, blah, blah, talk, talk.
And then we're under this tent where it's only like 70, but outside of the tent,
he's standing in the sun and it's about 90, right?
And she goes, you look high, you have long sleeve black shirt on.
He goes, yeah.
And she goes, it's colder under the tent.
And he goes, yeah, I know, but there's no signs.
There's no signs to tell you it's colder under the tent.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's the problem.
That's why I prefer graffiti.
I prefer areas with graffiti because you get more information.
That's why I like living in those neighborhoods.
But, dude, that was cool, bro.
Meeting Kate Hudson, dude.
Oh, my God.
Theo is the bell of the ball.
We go around and all these cute girls like, is Theo coming?
I'm like, who cares about Theo?
Yeah, he's in the bathroom right now touching himself.
Give him a couple minutes.
Give him a second.
By the way, before he gets three, he likes dudes.
I don't like dudes.
But I saw you singing with Ella Langley, who's this really pretty country star day.
And he was a stage coach.
And she invited him up and he jumped around, a little fruity at parts.
But overall, he was with a girl.
So it was sort of cloaked a bit.
And that was good.
And it was viral because everyone's like, where's the way?
He's at stagecoach.
I heard I go, look at this guy.
The boy can get around.
And what happened there?
How did that happen?
She just, well, she and our friends.
And so then she, well, she'd invited me to do her, like, the part in the song is a man's part.
Okay.
So you got to get a man.
And then they, she'd offered it to me a couple weeks earlier at some other place at the
Riemann here in Nashville.
Yeah.
And I wasn't ready.
I didn't, I hadn't practiced my lines.
So then, anyway, this story is bad.
But I saw her, oh, where you were on a commercial right now.
Okay.
I saw her not long after that.
And she goes, well, if you're, I wish you're going to be a stage coach next weekend because I'd have you read the lines over there.
And I said, well, I'm going to be over there.
And so that was that.
And so then, yeah, they just, yeah, it was, it was, it was cool out there, dude.
I've never been a singer because I'm not a singer.
Yeah.
Could you?
I didn't see it because I'm, I'm in a other age group.
But did, could you give us a sample of the song?
Could you give us just about three or four minutes?
Like three or four, just like one line.
Like, what was it?
Like, I love your baby or what?
No, it's, let me think.
Oh, it's like, well, I walked into a bar and across the, right across the tracks.
Or it's like I walked into a methadone clinic and right across the tracks.
It was, no, hold on.
I just turned my chair around.
Okay.
Oh, damn, dude.
No, that means I like you.
No, I'm liking this.
Yeah, I like it.
I've never heard Theo sing.
That's, and that's what we don't want to get to here.
That's what I'm avoiding.
Well, Theo, didn't you talk a little and then you sing?
Is that how it is?
Yes, you have to talk.
It's like, you know, I walked into a bar and the prettiest little thing I'd ever even seen in a pair of boots.
And she, and she looked at me and.
I looked at her.
Yeah, something like that.
I can't remember.
I can't remember.
I don't know the lines.
I don't know the lines right from me.
It's like Johnny Cash.
It's basically Johnny Cash.
Yeah.
very much.
It's Johnny some currency.
I don't know if it's a U.S.
dollar.
Johnny Pesos.
It was a guy from Latin America.
He did a good job.
People loved it.
And I will tell you a fun.
I will tell you a funny story about it, though.
My friend wrote the cards.
He wrote all the words down on the cards, right?
So he's standing right off stage with the words because we've been practicing.
You know, because you up there with Ella Lyingly, man, and she knows what she's doing.
She's professional.
Yeah.
You know, and I'm amateur.
And so my buddy, we had him write all the work.
We wrote all the lyrics on the cards.
So he's standing off stage with all the lyrics.
Well, he starts getting mad.
But when I got up there, I felt good and I felt some confidence.
So he's standing off stage and he starts shaking the cards.
Like, bro, look at the cards.
And I'm like, I'm trying to give him like, I don't need the cards.
You know, but he got upset that I didn't like, wasn't.
He kept like, like, shaking it.
Yeah.
It's like, dude, I'm not looking at the cards because I'm,
need the cards. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, your second. It's your,
your backup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're there a case of
emergency. Yeah, in case of emergency. But it is scary. It's better. It's like
SNL, you know you have cards if you need them and
you don't want to have to go to them. Did you guys ever get stuck in a spot
where you had to go to the cards or was that pretty common? I think we're
always on cards, to be honest. Well, you go to the cards a lot. I once
I was paying Keith Richards and I took such a long pause, but I
did it for comedic effect, but the card guy was doing what your guy did.
He's shaking it like and pointing at it. Come on.
He thought I spaced out, you know?
Yeah.
But yeah, we got to get you host an S&L.
I can't wait.
I bet they've asked you.
What do you say, you know?
I don't remember.
Yes, Theo.
I guess it was no.
He didn't do it.
I don't remember what happened exactly.
Yeah.
But I did get to go over there one night.
I got to go to the 50th anniversary of the 50th of the show.
and David was there
and who else was there?
Bill Murray was there.
Were you there, Dana?
No, I kind of felt like you were my surrogate.
When I heard you were going,
I figured Theo's my guy.
He represents me that night.
You took your spot.
No, I wasn't there.
Dan Aykroyd, Bill Hader and I watched it together.
That's weird.
Well, when y'all just go there instead.
No, I was on.
Don't dig too deep.
Okay, sorry.
I was getting over.
I was still not feeling.
100% I had the flu, wicked flu.
That's the real story.
Not very exciting, but how, where are you in your fame ladder right now?
Like, seems like when I first, you were on David's show, like, how big were you when you first went on lights out?
Well, where were you?
Like, was that a big deal to go on David's little show?
I mean, did anyone ever see it?
It was fun.
I don't know if anybody saw that show.
I think some people did.
No, I'm kidding.
I love the show, by the way.
Yeah, I thought the show was good.
sure i mean david's the best to be around every everybody loves him he's the funniest everybody says
he's the funniest so how does that when you hear that dana how does that make you feel it's
sorry to spin this back on you because you're so really be so close to be in that fun really angry
and then sad and then i just practice gratitude i take deep rest
gratitude no one you have your own lane no one does what you do theo so you're the funniest
guy who does what you do does anyone do what you do is anyone do what you do
David has his own soft, very verbal patter that's really low five, but very funny all the time.
Yeah, you never expect what he's going to say kind of any.
And he just knows so much.
And you're shocked by how verbose his awareness of things is.
Oh, my God.
He's probably one of the most aware guys.
You mean about darkness and stuff?
Well, oh, yeah, I'm not even sure what verbose means that.
Yeah, I think it's kind of.
That's a good one, though.
I think it's speakers.
We're selling speakers.
But no, just his awareness.
Like he's just like, he's so like up on like just whatever the current events are.
He just has all the.
The patters.
He's got patters.
Yes, he's very dexter.
He doesn't just bring one weapon to the thing.
Like Dexter always had like a ton of weapons and like you.
You know, he'd be the most.
He'd be the Michelangelo of killers, you know.
Right.
I never got to hang out with Dennis Miller.
You would like that too.
Dude, I did one time.
Oh, you did?
Okay.
It was the best.
I got to sit right in between them, dude.
Oh, yeah.
So they would go like that, right?
Yeah.
Best three-some I've ever been in, honestly.
Yeah, it was Dennis mumbling jokes on one side and me on the other.
And we were all hilarious.
And I mean, we were all laughing the whole time because Theo says stuff.
And Theo's like new to the whole thing and just everything is fun and exciting.
Theo, I went to the run.
Monde Rousey fight, I don't think, I don't think you were there, but I was in the second row.
Dana White always puts it in the front row.
And it's such a world of difference because the second row, I told Dana, I had Michael Irvin in front of me.
All it takes one person and it's over.
Like, he stands up as like, full eclipse.
I'm like, is the fight still going on?
Because he stood up for anything.
They tie the gloves up.
And a round, up.
Beginning round, up.
I'm like, athlete.
Yeah.
And when John's Bones Jones was there, too.
I love.
Well, he's tall.
What a badass.
So anyway, Theo and I had gone to the fights a few times.
That one time we got lost.
Theo got frustrated because I had a driver, but the guy wasn't there.
We were late.
His driver spoke a language that no one's ever spoken.
No, and it's not even racist because I never saw his face.
But I was in the back.
And I thought it was my driver, but I didn't know Theo called an Uber.
So we're in the SUV and I go, just go to the back entrance like we said.
And then he goes, oh, no, that's what special.
And I go, what?
No, I know we're going in the back.
He goes, no, that's VIP special.
I go, well, what about us?
And he goes, you know, special.
Yeah.
He kind of glanced.
And he goes, no, no, no, no.
No, no.
We're getting more mad because he won't.
I go, actually, actually it'd be great if you're going to the front.
We need to go to the loading dock.
He goes, no, very special.
Yeah.
And this is just a recreation of what happened, but it's not.
And I was showing in pictures of David, like, in all his like,
Dickie Roberts.
I'm like, is Dickie Roberts?
That's not the one to ring the bell.
But anyway, he goes, oh, he goes, he's in sitcoms and stuff and movies.
He goes, oh, you're in a sitcom now?
I go, yeah, well, not the second.
He goes, no special.
And we got out in the street because we weren't getting even close.
And then we got out.
And I think that was the first time I realized how famous Theo,
was because so many people were coming up, especially at a fight, and we had to wait for them
to send someone to give us our tickets. And people kept coming up. And it's the first time where
you can see it, for both of us, it starts to get a little nerve-wracking because you're stuck.
You can't keep moving because we're waiting. So then he goes, let's just walk to the back.
And I'm like, well, they're not going to, we may might not let us in. And then we're going to,
there's already the guy at the front with our tickets. So we sat there. And everyone means well,
it's just when they get around you because they're fight fans, you know, and they're bored.
And we're just standing there's like, hey, blah, blah, blah, right?
Yeah, everybody was kind of bored.
It was just like, yeah, you're just waiting in line kind of.
So it was like a lot of it.
But that driver, he just did not think we're special enough to drop us up in a decent area.
Yeah.
And he kind of dropped us up on like a used person area.
I was like, that's even worse than just regular.
He goes, how about this part of the median?
I'm like, yeah, that guy.
Yeah, we got out in the middle of the show.
trees, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was funny.
But David, like,
knowing David's just been such a, like,
just even getting to go to UFC, like,
I got to sit in the front row because of David.
That was awesome.
You know, just some of the relationships that I got to build
over there. Dana White did a really nice
thing for our movie, actually.
Oh, that's right.
That I don't know if we can say it or not, but he
saw that we had made it ourselves
and made it with our own money, and he
called us one day, just out of the blue.
Can we even say that, David?
I think so.
Yeah, he doesn't care.
We can cut it.
And he said he was going to make some commercials for us and put it in some of his
during the fight before the main event.
And then I forgot because I thought, oh, what if it doesn't happen?
I don't want to say anything because also he's the boss, but you know, whatever.
And then my friends are like, I'm watching the fight, dude.
They're showing busboys trailers.
That was really cool, Dana.
Because Steeo, originally when we were looking for money, I tried Danix.
I'm like, Dana White's rich.
And this is his bar tab.
So I can just ask for a little bit.
And he goes, you know, I don't mind this idea.
Let me talk to my guys.
Give me a couple days.
And then Theo goes, hey, oh, I just got a guy that's going to do it.
So I called that.
I said, Dana, don't worry about it.
And then so that's, he was kind of aware of it.
He hadn't even read it yet.
He just goes, oh, I like the idea of you and Theo doing a movie.
And then we had a guy, Ezra.
And then we kind of got it going then.
But it was a long road.
but yeah it was a lot i mean i'd never done it before it's a lot of work it's a lot of stuff that
you guys do people don't realize a lot of it you know i think it some of it probably seems
easier than it is from the outside um but yeah putting it all putting it all together i mean we put
it all together i couldn't even believe it was real i mean writing it was one thing it was like
we would keep find ourselves in these problematic areas with the script or things didn't make
sense and i think some of the movie still doesn't make a little bit of sense yeah but that's fine
You got to suspend disbelief, right?
Well, for that low budget, I've never done for that low budget.
And you don't get a full timeline on that.
I mean, we had the problem with Joder, too, where they were taking out budget during the shoot, which is impossible.
Me and Fred are going, wait, we have to lose a set piece.
Well, that brings us from here to here.
So that was a time jumping because we had to because we're like, then I jumped ahead three years.
And everyone was like, huh?
but we had to
this one it was just
they had the fires were going
and it was a lot of wind one day
we couldn't really shoot
and it's just those things
when you're outdoors
and it's very complicated
and we weren't screening it
so we just were like
asking two people we knew
does this make sense to you
and then we figured out a few
questions and we went back
and reshot a half a day
and just said this will answer
a couple things
and so far honestly
see Theo, I get probably 80%
people that, it's almost
like they really like it or hate it.
There's almost no in between these people
that love it and watch it four times.
And then there's about 10% that
absolutely fucking hate it.
And it's not even a toss-up.
They're like, this is the word
F-minus. They don't need to throw the minus.
We've talked about this.
F is fine. Just go to G
if you're going that low.
Like, make it a musical scale.
Yeah.
Do you have a rotten tomato?
Do you have a score on Ron?
No, thank God, because we have a audience score.
They said there's not enough reviews.
Not enough reviews to get on Ron.
Yeah, because it's good or bad.
It's good.
I don't know what it is, but I never heard of it before.
Well, studios send it to be seen and screened.
And we don't send it to anyone.
Yeah.
So there's like internet people that go, hey, I just saw it and they'll might say something,
but it's not enough for Rotten Tomato.
So we just have like a 75% audience.
Really?
Do we have that?
That's amazing.
I think that's good.
That's like 75% of my family liked it.
25% were like,
shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff.
We thought you were doing stuff with the church now.
Yeah, this was, didn't pull punches with the R rated.
You guys, did you write stuff and go, oh, we can't do that?
Was there anything off limits?
The greatest thing about the writing was we would get into some real cold.
of sex and I would literally tell David and it would seem like he was not going to be able to get us out
of it and then he would come up with the idea and he'd like no that was back and forth we started
I was the right I wrote it but most of the I was the stenographer I was the court reporter that's what I was
well you need someone to physically do it and sometimes like I'd say that was me I was the minor
David was the jeweler you know the guy you know he was the guy with the you know he was the guy with all
the gems I was just the guy who was like writing in a lot of
Theo's on the road and we get on the Zoom,
but we did laugh our fucking asses off.
And it's funny.
If you see a scene,
it's not that funny,
me and Theo are like,
ah,
that's so great.
And people are like,
is it?
But,
you know,
you write it,
and it goes through different form.
Then we're like,
oh,
we hit a wall like,
shit,
well,
how do we get the drugs?
And how do they get?
How did you come up with the,
I don't,
for the people I haven't seen it,
but the acidy thing of where you have that thing in your car
and it identifies what kind of animals you're hitting?
Like that was,
that whole scene.
Rodent radar.
Yeah.
Like,
rodent radar, yeah.
It's not fair that we live in 20,
21 or whatever,
and you look and you're driving
and you don't know what kind of animal you just hit.
Yeah, it is.
It's not fair.
Where's Tesla?
Yeah, what is this?
What is this?
Little House on the Prairie?
Like, well, how do we, like, what is going on?
Right, because we were hitting things,
but we didn't realize
they were drinking water
that was laced with cocaine.
I don't think anyone realized that at the end of the movie.
Yeah, we have looked at this.
It's kind of smart when you realize that's what it is because the cocaine is getting lost in the water and broken up.
Yeah, there was a lot of things.
There's some one-answered questions.
People are clamming for a sequel.
They're like, just so we know what's going on.
It's kind of like Highway the Heaven, you know.
Yeah, exactly.
It had one good season.
They're reviewing Highway to Heaven.
I love it.
I would have it.
Yeah, Michael Landon?
They've tried to redo it.
I will say this, that they are redoing Little House in the Prairie.
It's coming out on Netflix soon.
They're going back to 1980.
70s, late 70s.
Yeah, that would be great.
They just had people that that's how they're like, here's how we live, Paul.
Let's go to the mall, Paul.
It's fun to play a character that says paw.
I like Paul.
I like a blind girl.
Like the blind girl, Mary.
What was your name?
Yeah, well, she got kicked.
by a horse, David.
Is that,
that's not what happened.
She got acid thrown on her by a,
she got ass,
what do you think she was at like a,
what,
like one of those,
like a Rufus DeSalle concert or something?
She was robbed.
Oh,
she was?
Yeah,
she's robbed of her peltz.
And they threw ass.
I miss that.
I don't know.
I'm trying to get us out of this cold.
I'll just be in the audience for a second.
What are you guys talking about?
This is how,
this is how,
this is like the movie.
Yes,
we're riding the movie.
No,
but this was,
this was true,
though.
I had a show up in Winnipeg last year.
And I had to show up in Winnipeg last year.
And after the show, they're like,
some of the cast of Little House on the Prairies here,
they would like to say hello.
And I was like,
they would like to say hello.
Dude,
and I watched every episode.
I'd read the books.
So I even met Nellie Olson at a Starbucks when I first moved to LA.
I was there for like two weeks.
Villain.
I know.
And I was trying to,
like, I wasn't trying to flirt with her,
but I was like,
I'll work at your house.
I'll do whatever you need or whatever.
You know,
like I'll put stuff on the shelves.
at the mercantile.
I'll do whatever you need, right?
But anyway, they said the cast of the Los Angeles
the Prairie is there.
And the lady that played the mother,
they're like, this is the lady that plays Ma.
And I gave her, like, the biggest hug.
Like, I was like this kid.
Like, like, idolized this, like character
when I was a kid, you know?
Anyway.
She's cute, too.
Yeah, she's a really nice or cool actress.
Crosby is her name Fitzgerald.
Oh, the original one, but the new one is named Crosby, Fitzgerald.
Oh, you know,
Nellie Olson should be on villains that show.
Is that what it says show is called other villains?
Yeah, she was a good villain.
By the way, Theo, this is off the record,
but I got offered a gig in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Do you know what that is?
Yeah, and I haven't been there, though.
I come, though.
How far is it an hour from you?
Probably 40 minutes.
I'll draw 40 minutes.
I'll do it.
I thought it was way far.
They said,
Wait a minute, you're going to advertise this and say,
my friend Theo's going to drop by?
No, he's not, I'm just asking how far.
Pat, the office.
he's from Smashville
I'll jump on if he's out of time
I want to go to that zero tax date
man what am I doing here
that's the only bummer about LA
I love LA
Theo has a little place here
in Westwood right
yeah but he's 181
in Tennessee
yeah
181 days
he's like Scrooge McDuck
he just sits on a pile of money
that is not true dude
I wish I could have some more money
but I just don't have any more
if I had years
I'd throw mine a
way.
No way.
I'm with you,
Theo.
Dana, Theo is a special
coming out.
Do you have the name
of it or when it's coming out?
We haven't decided on the name.
I'm trying to figure that out right now.
You guys have any ideas?
Um,
I might pick one of them actually
if you guys come with a good one.
Oh yeah,
that's a good idea.
And David also looks like David Duke Covney today,
which people,
we should say that.
Oh, yeah,
for people that aren't watching.
You mean, it's not David DeCovney?
Slick today.
People confuse them a lot.
I've been with them before.
Yeah.
out.
You know, and some guy just come up and whisper in his ears.
He's like, they're out there.
How about this for a title?
What's up, y'all?
All right.
And what are they off?
I wanted to think of the worst title possible.
I want to think of a title where you would.
What's up, y'all?
I already used that one.
All right, that one.
We were going to call this podcast rackum.
Oh, yeah, rack.
That was David's.
Rackham.
What do you say after you knock a ball in a cube?
Brilliant.
What were your previous specials names?
Dang, I cannot even remember right now.
Oh, no offense was one of them.
Yeah, it's not very good.
And the other one was called yes.
Yes, offense.
How about some taken?
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Some taken.
That's another X-Files reference, isn't it?
David Dukovny, I believe that's about people getting abducted, dude.
It never ends today.
Working it out, you all.
Working it out, y'all.
No, no snap to it.
No, I think it's good, man.
I just, look, yeah, I don't know.
I got to listen to one more time.
I've been doing the editing and stuff.
Oh, no, that must drive you fucking bonkers.
Well, it's all bonn.
I mean, it's just like, I mean, even with busboys, it was like, we had to do a lot of the, you know, we had editors.
We had a great director.
And it's like, we had great people.
But in the end, if you're, like, producing it and stuff, you kind of have to make a lot of choices.
and, you know, it was tough.
We would go back and forth, like, he would take it in the edit for a while.
Yeah.
And then we look at it.
And then we go.
But I was always careful.
Like, if it's a Theo joke, I didn't want to just take it out.
Unless I was like, oh, I don't think he'd want this one in.
But sort of you want to go, I don't want to be in charge of his joke in case he likes it.
But if he took one of mine out, it's either to cover each other to make sure you don't look stupid.
But some are so weird.
there's a thing where you're you're with the guy in the wheelchair and you're going on and on
and that's some people's favorite thing and you just made all that up while you're doing it
commitment yeah i think i probably could have had a better i get used to editing just my own
podcast so we'll go through you know i'll watch everything and i'm sitting there giving notes and
so i probably could have done a better job i think i probably there was probably some of david's
jokes for i was like i don't think he i know for sure i like and i was like probably should have
asked him before just like taking some assumptions.
But then there were some parts it was like I just don't maybe this angle doesn't look
great or something.
It's like you want to make your boy look good.
And then but yeah, I learned a lot, man.
I learned a lot about like, I don't know.
Sometimes you want to learn lessons easier ways, you know, but you learn them when
you're in the fire, you know?
And it's like I think I could have been a better teammate at times.
I get used to like doing, you know, communities you get used to doing everything by yourself
kind of.
a lot of times.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Stand up.
Well, I understand podcast, by yourself, it's a hit.
Stand up, write it yourself.
It's a hit.
So even though we're good together, it is hard to say, oh, even forget us to say, let's set dressing
deal with the plates because we're both going, do these make sense?
You know, and you kind of start second guessing every department.
There's almost too much to worry about.
And that drives people crazy.
And then dailies are coming in, which looks.
bad because they're so confusing. Now that's one more thing spinning in your head. And then we're,
it's just all hard. And, uh, but I do like the final product. And going back and forth and saying like,
I would call it Theo and say, hey, can we put this back in or did you like this or were you on the
fence about like that kind of stuff? And then so by, by the end, we're both like, okay, this is it.
We like it. And then whatever happens happens. So I just like having it floating out there.
and then kids can watch it are mostly under eight years old is probably our class.
Yeah, it's for kids.
It's for kids who are getting dropped off at the mall who are just burning time until they meet someone.
Until they meet there someone.
Or they get a snow cone by other means.
Yeah.
David had some of the best choices.
There was like this Steve, Steve thing.
It's in the beginning that I was like, I don't get it.
But then that was one of the biggest laughs in the theater, you know.
And Dave liked that.
I like that moment.
And I was like, I just don't, I don't really see it that.
But we're in there and people die laughing.
And that was like a big moment for me.
It was like, dude, sometimes you do not know what you're doing.
Well, you never know until you see crowds.
They laugh at something you don't think like a cutaway joke.
But even I like when we're looking at the wedding ring and it's so tiny, the diamond.
You're like, which one's the front?
I'm like, I saw it earlier.
Where's the diamond?
Oh, here it is.
You're like, yeah, that's the marriage metal.
Oh, yeah, that's a real.
But when I say you keep,
I remember that,
where he's trying to help me out.
He's like,
this girl likes you still.
I go,
but she doesn't even text me back
and she went to Palm Springs.
He's like,
yeah,
because that's suspense.
Haven't you heard of Jaws?
It's a dumb thing that's saying.
What a dumb.
And you go,
we're saving private Ryan.
I'm like,
well,
Jaws sort of makes.
Yeah.
Sure.
It was dumb,
dude.
It was fun.
I'm trying to think of another really.
Oh,
my favorite scene is probably
David in the bathroom with Tim Dillon.
I think that's just such a good.
When he's like, make your favorite face you mean, he's like,
he's like, fuck yeah.
Yeah, they had some funny angles on David with that, you know, bug down.
They're coming down to me like this.
Also, Tim's face.
And then Theo, you put in a few extra shots because you're listening,
and those are funny cutaways because you're doing different faces.
You're like sort of agreeing.
And you're like, then you're back.
And so that combo was.
fun we did it when he says hey I'm not gay and you're like oh no I'm not what'd you think
we're here to suck your dick and you're like I can't even suck my own dick what a dumb thing to say
and we all laugh ah ha ha no I know I can't I'm not going to walk around through life
pretending like I'm a guy and blow himself no you showed us at lunch you can't yeah that's not
who I am you proved it um it was it was a lot man thanks you thank you David for just like
a lot of fun anything else for Theo
Dana, we could go on and on forever with this.
Are we going on forever?
I know this is more fun.
I didn't know.
I'm not on SNL, so I haven't been able to come on here.
This is our first time with Theo.
We talk a lot of all the time.
Oh, we have people that have never been on SNL all the time now.
That was kind of early.
It was an SNL only.
It was very exclusive.
Right.
It was a very long ago.
It was the Mar-a-Lago.
Yeah, it was.
We came out with 10 bangers,
10 all-time greats.
And then, you know, it's been a little pull up, pull up.
By the way, we, I just saw, you didn't go to that UFC fight.
I think you were working on the reflecting pool.
Yeah, I was probably doing something.
Yeah, I think I was busy.
Yeah, you're busy.
I think I was busy.
But I thought it was one, I thought that they did a great job.
I thought it was really amazing that Dana White gets things done.
He's a guy that continues to get things done.
He's a good dude.
And he gets something that he says he's going to do.
Yeah, he's not a big bullshitter.
I'm going to probably go to that.
I might go to the Connor McGregor,
I'm at least I'm going to watch it.
That one's coming up.
You know where that one is?
I believe that's in Las Vegas.
I'm,
I think I'm going to try to go to that one.
That would be awesome.
But yeah,
even it should be welcome with those things.
It's pretty special,
man.
I've met a lot of amazing people over there.
And then you all have this thing in common.
Yeah,
nobody has like representatives or agents or manning with that with them.
So you just like,
you can just meet people and talk to them like
and everybody has like the fights in common.
That's been,
um,
that's been something special.
Yeah.
And getting to go with David.
Dude,
David took me to meet freaking Drew Breeze one time at a party
in his freaking back y'all in scott tail that's right
it was it was a big who's it was kurt warner's house
Kurt Warner had a party yeah Kurt Warner has a half of a football field in his own yard
fuck that guy's rich it was five acres I was god dang what happens I was in Scots
everybody got rich yeah that was a lot of fun though they were all nice all those football players
and and Steve Maryucci was there mooch no that's right I've seen him since
mooch well yeah we will keep you you're
guy that Hawaiian shirt looks very
BLM dude I wore my freaking
Tom Selleck for you guys today
nobody even called it there was
oh yeah I'm seeing it now how do we
not mention B LRWR we missed on
Kellick's shirt I know TLM
dude and he
passed away huh
who I'm Selleck I don't think so
oh no maybe Magnum
did in the show
oh somebody
oh wow you really brought
somebody passed away this third season of
I don't mean today.
My funeral feed.
No, my funeral feed is, sorry.
Oh, you got a funeral app?
I got a bad, yeah, I'm getting, we're getting some bad intel on it.
Yeah, okay.
Well, Dana.
The only thing I wanted to say is your podcast, the Amish boy you interviewed.
And some of the UFC fighters, it's extremely high-skilled interviewing.
And it's just great content.
I love to, I love your lane, what you do.
that no one else does.
I mean, there's Rogan and stuff,
but you do have your own style,
and it's,
you were so gentle with that boy and kind.
I don't know,
just,
just putting some sugar out there,
just saying,
hey,
what's up,
you know?
Well,
thanks, dude.
I appreciate it.
Yeah,
I don't really know what my lane is.
Sometimes I know that I work really hard.
Um,
it's almost all I do most of the time,
you know,
it's like the safest place for me to be,
even like with my thoughts or feelings.
I put them into work because I feel like it's just,
I know there's a potential return there,
you know,
So sometimes I wish I could do a better job of putting like that same energy into like
other fields of my life probably.
But it has been great, dude.
It's been great just to sit and talk with people to learn how to listen.
I've done that, been able to do that a little bit better over time.
You know, I'd like to be able to just like, yeah, sometimes you want to have fun,
but sometimes you want to talk with somebody to something that means something.
And they let me talk to children, which is nice.
And so, you know, that Amish boy, who knows what happens to him.
He might end up, you know, you know, we don't know how it's going to go for him.
We hope he does well.
We hope he stays over there,
milking him with the boys or whatever.
And I don't know what that term means in some communities.
But he might give up and he might go out in the secular world or the insular world.
I can't remember what it's called.
Yeah.
And live it at Dave and Busters and drink his life away.
You know,
I don't know what he's going to do.
All scenarios are very possible.
He was pretty poised for his age.
I got a good feeling about him.
Where did you find that dude?
He's really falling off the cows back since then.
That's what that's.
He's not going to die by nail.
gun, not an Amish community where they build everything with like chewed up gum stuck together.
They haven't done.
I don't think they even got COVID or something.
They really stay out of the fray.
Yeah, because it's not, well, it wasn't real.
That's a new thing.
I don't if you read Tulsi Gabbard's new report.
But, uh, that's, it's sitting on my desk.
I haven't read it yet.
Tadda.
So interesting.
Interesting.
Here's my question.
If people didn't die COVID, what did they die?
What, what happened?
Yeah.
Dana will tell you because he does Fauci.
Oh, he does? Tell him about the shot. Oh, do this, yeah, do that.
Well, this was when, yeah, the people were getting their shots. They were timing their shots because the thing kept mutating, you know, and Fauci had to come out.
I know I told you when you got the vaccine, you'd be dancing in the streets. I missed it by a little bit.
You can have 10 vaccines and four boosters get and give COVID to another guy with 20 vaccines and 19.
You can have 45 vaccines and 200 boosters you can get and give.
Anyway, that's why I'm introducing Tony Fauci's daily shot.
Every day you go to your health care provider and you get a shot.
By the time you get to your car, you got no immunity.
But it's a beautiful 39 seconds.
Anyway, that was my poem to try to help me deal with the whole COVID thing.
I got a couple death threats, but that's okay.
Hey, come on.
We were right.
But yeah, who knows?
I don't know.
But I think who I don't know anything.
But thank you guys for having me, man.
It's an honor to be on here with both of you guys.
Thank you guys for all the laughter for being some of the greats.
I don't think they have humor like you guys made anymore.
I think it's pretty diluted this stuff we're out here.
You know, you guys were dealing with pure.
I mean, white flake stuff straight out of Colombia.
That's the stuff that you guys were giving to the masses.
Yeah.
Through humor.
And we're out here.
This stuff has been stepped on.
The stuff that we're delivering, it's got baby lax it.
It's been in it.
We're just out here.
We're barely filling the diaper.
And you guys were just blowing them out.
It's got fruit fresh in it.
You know, I saw wedding crashes in a related story.
And some of the jokes are pretty rough.
And you didn't even think of it back then.
And now you see like a movie and there's like two big.
comedy stars and it's like they're kind of roasting each other like look at those shorts you look
like some crazy guy and i'm and everyone's like are these jokes but it's the safest joke world and i think
that's why there's not a lot of r-rated movies because the bigger the corporations the more they're
scared of offending and hurting feelings and some of the ones when saw our movie were like oh that's a
little spicy i don't think that would work with us and that's okay we kind of knew what we were
getting into that's good yeah some of the streamers passed on it right out of the gate you know
And, uh, good.
I don't, you know, I've seen, yeah, and I've seen so much bad shit on some of the streamers that, uh, I think we're good.
Let's don't pretend like just because they have a channel that the shit on there's great.
How many bad movies are on most of these streaming platforms?
Most of the streaming platforms.
It's, uh, it's very difficult sometimes.
Yeah.
Now I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying to ours is.
Yeah, we're not the greatest.
I agree we're saying.
I'm not saying that.
But how many movies if you turn on and you're like, what are we even doing here?
Okay.
Yeah.
I think what happens like with comedy is you start to get the same seven jokes that are
sort of approved by everyone and not offensive.
And now it's just different versions of just a handful of jokes that are like,
everyone's like, okay.
I mean, we don't laugh at that.
But that's acceptable.
Well, that's what I'm with late night too.
Late night kind of felt like it got a little bit like that sometimes, you know,
um, especially political and.
Yeah, political.
And then there's only one group to make fun of type of thing.
but I will say that
I thought it was cool that we made something
and we got it done and we got it all the way through
and that gives me like a lot of pride
that I got to do that with David Frickin' Spade dude
Listen I had such a
great experience going like from
having an idea and being buddies and then just putting
something together so thank you for doing that
and Dana who's one of the top 10 S&Ls
of all time. This is the compliment Dana gets
they go Dana always funny
always funny on here
and then people come to me they go
when they come on the show they go
Dana you were unbelievable top 10
and they go in Spade you were on there too
you did some stuff and I go thank you
but you can't even compete with
legitimately with all the cast members
that Dana was still wind up bad by
sketch comedy asked I was made for
but I didn't know it until later but you guys are
we sat through a lot of bad cast members
to enjoy you to
I'll say that.
All right.
Thanks,
pleasure.
And let's get back to Nashville.
Be well,
if we think of a name for your special.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
we'll text you.
Because I do like that stuff.
I was just joking around,
but yeah.
No,
and it can be racial too.
If it needs to be,
I'm okay with it.
Okay.
Black like me.
You could say,
that's not bad.
The N-word and then you put
Nashville.
What did you think?
Yeah.
Actually,
speaking of the way,
I just bought 40 N-word passes
online.
You can get.
I'm online.
Yeah, I got 40.
I'm selling six something.
But they're like peptides or something.
You can just use them out in the real world?
I mean, they look,
these are official.
They're official.
So we'll see how that.
So you don't get in trouble.
Is that what it is?
TBD, man.
Times have changed.
Yeah.
