So we use so you recently just finished a stand-up special Yes, yes, that's gonna be launching on I think that Tuesday Yes, it comes out on Tuesday. I was doing a tour, running around for a couple years, in and out. I kind of do it like I go away for a couple weeks, then I go back home for a month or two, then I go do another couple weeks, that kind of thing. And when I was out on the tour, I was like, oh man,
Starting point is 00:05:23 probably should make a special just so I, because I know one day I'm going to throw this material out and move on to some new stuff. So might as well document it. And so I said, let me do a special. Netflix said that sounds good. And then I called Josh Shafty, who's this great director, and he did Uncut Gems, him and his brother, Benny did Uncut Gems. and I said to Josh you would you want to maybe direct a comedy special and he said yeah yeah I thought we were just going to shoot a normal special but he just kind of took over and made it a different style and different feel and threw weird stuff at me and we it's just it's a special but it's kind of like a movie it's different different. Yeah I cannot wait for everybody to see this man. They let us preview it and that was alone the coolest thing ever Oh, yeah, it was awesome brother. So thank you bud. What um, you're right. It is different and it's like kind of segmented There's a whole like thing going back and forth with the projection and all that What how do you how do you even get to like creating something like that?
Starting point is 00:06:24 Like I know that like stand up you're bringing on jokes and you're trying to figure out your routine, but that thing was so unique. How did that whole process come about? Well, I was kind of ready to just do a normal stand up special. I was excited because I was kind of locked in. You know, when you do stand up and you're on the road, it evolves, you get better and better at your act and figure out better things to talk about, figure out better ways to tell your your thoughts or your jokes or whatever the hell it is. And so I was kind of locked into a certain way that that I was ready to ready to, you know, throw down and and then he he Josh was just kind of like, you know, we've seen
Starting point is 00:07:06 Seen you do a stand-up special already. I did one like six six years ago So he said let's try to come up with a new way to present it So that's kind of what happened what made you want to get back into the stand-up realm? Like you took a long hiatus from it. Not too long. I saw a hundred percent fresh live actually I was at the the Hayworth out there in LA dude. That's right I remember seeing I was so fuck. I was in a whole nother world and I got I remember to Just off the top that I still remember to visit phone wall of keys Yes, yes, I fucking sing that every single time I walk out of the goddamn door
Starting point is 00:07:41 I haven't forgotten I haven't forgotten sense Every single time I walk out of the goddamn door. Oh, I love that buddy. I haven't forgot him since. Love that chance. And then, I want to grow old with you, dude. Yes, I sang that too. Yes, yes, I sang that for the special. And that was six years ago.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is so fucking cool. Buddy, that was six years ago when I saw you. That was so fucking cool, man. I saw you at the, in the dressing room back there at the Hayworth. You're the fucking man, dude. You too, buddy. and and it was I don't even know why why I started Oh, yeah, here's what happened. I was doing movies life was going good You know, I did Saturday Night Live and me and my friends, you know spade and Schneider and rock
Starting point is 00:08:16 We used to run around and do stand-up back then so cool and it was great and then all of a sudden I So cool. And it was great. And then all of a sudden, I was doing a lot of movies and it just became like your schedule was kind of overwhelmed. And so I stopped doing stand up for maybe 20 years or so sheesh. And then I was doing grown ups. And all I heard was Kevin James and Chris Rock and Schneider and Spade and Colin Quinn and all the guys in the movie and Norm Macdonald all talking about their gigs they had that weekend and I was like I was a little jealous like oh man Maybe I should get back on the road so that that got me into it again. That's awesome. That's awesome Well, make sure everyone you check out. Love you. It's streaming now on Netflix Wonderful jokes. It's a very unique as we've talked about comedy standup special, including a wonderful ode to comedy, which man, if this world needs comedy more than ever, it was just beautifully done really well done. Thank you, man. Yeah, we wrote a wrote a song that kind of just
Starting point is 00:09:19 talked about all the all the movies and comedians that influenced me and my my my friends growing up and our generation and that kind of stuff and what we used to sit and watch growing up with our parents or with our buddies or whatever it was and so wrote a song and that that puts a lot of that stuff in there. It's got music, it's got a flamenco guitar that starts off with yeah. I'm like, man, he's bringing it right off the bat. That's right. I, dude, I did my best by the way.
Starting point is 00:09:48 That was terrifying. Cause I knew sometimes when I'm alone in my room playing my guitar, I go, man, I think I could have been a guitar player. I'm pretty damn good. And when I get on stage, I start getting my, my fingers get tight. Everything's nerve wracking. So when I was shooting a special, I was like, come on, man, let's get this thing right. But I did all right. I did. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:07 You nailed it. You nailed it. Thank you. And then the Bluetooth comment hit a little bit too close to home. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That happens on occasion. That happens. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't you don't like those times. All right. Let's talk about happy Gilmore too. Because you got that coming up. You just said you're moving to Jersey here coming up. Yes, you're going there for right. Let's talk about Happy Gilmore too. Because you got that coming up. You just said you're moving to Jersey here coming up. Yes. You're going there for right? The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis. That's why we put it together. No,
Starting point is 00:10:32 yeah, yeah. We're going there with Travis. By the way, thank you. I heard you talking about it. And I was on your show you guys. And then, of course, I was like, you know, I was thinking of we were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it literally like six months ago, we were like, imagine if Travis was my first, my first baby, how funny that was. Just a badass. But we know football season. I think I got the swing down. You do? I think I got the swing down. Can you crack it like that? I was out there the other day and yeah, it was it was literally the day after you went on Fallon and
Starting point is 00:11:09 And told everybody and I was like man, you know what? I just got to do a ceremonial one Oh, and I fucking ripped it you did What a feeling when you look up and that thing's going straight you like that works Good what a feeling when you look up and that thing's going straight you like that works Oh, I bet you ripped the shit out. What do you hit him when you when you play you bang it you bang it Oh, yeah, I can hit it about 320 consistently off But I could be three holes over or It's either way no, but I've seen you swing it is nice. It's fun I gotta say when I'm doing the happy Gilmore swing, I'm maybe one for four with that
Starting point is 00:11:50 It's not it's not a TV magic on the back. There's definitely I called my own cuts Here we go. All right, buddy Well, that's a long walk up You can hear Pat Mahomes in the background telling you where we are. Pat's got a good swing too. He can bang him too I'm sure. You guys have fun golfing up. He's a way better player than I am. He takes it way more serious. I'm just out there for the fun man. Yeah, well you're a fun man. Everybody on this little hang here besides me seems like they have fun on the
Starting point is 00:12:25 course. I get a little snappy out there. A little frustrated. Have you gotten back into playing at all just to kind of get ready for the movie or did you ever, did you take time off from playing golf or? Yes, sort of similar to my comedy career. I kind of dipped out for a while and then I was like, what am I doing, man? Let me get back into golf. And I absolutely I played when I was a kid. I played when I was like 12. And my dad was awesome. My dad was a really good golfer. You should shoot in a low 70s. I still can't do it. I can't get it
Starting point is 00:12:59 there. Holy cow. I can't get down low. I've had a good nine. I had a good nine maybe two weeks ago at Riviera I think I think I I could say that's where they put the Genesis open. That's a tough one I mean I play from the whites, but I shot I shot okay, but I can't I can't put 18 together I can't do it. I can't concentrate that long. Are you guys good with 18? I can't concentrate that long. Are you guys good with 18? I saw I have a very little last in the Tahoe Golf. Oh, yeah. It was not good. Didn't break 90 one time.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I hear you. That's kind of my my spot to around 88 or something. Yeah, good. I'm good. Probably play in 18 when it gets to like 18 three days in a row. I am just cooked and I am cooked and my swing is all over the place. I'm not made for three days of golf in a row. I am just cooked, man. I am cooked and my swing is all over the place. I'm not made for three days of golf in a row. That's a lot of thinking. That's a lot of thinking. I can't stay still for that long.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Like right around hole six, I start going, what the hell am I doing here? What happened in my life? Do they have burgers on the turn? What are we, how do they get to eat at the clubhouse? That's so funny. When I grew up, my dad, there was a, we used to play at this one place and I think it was hole 13.
Starting point is 00:14:09 They used to put out Polish sausages and hot dogs and stuff like that. And every time I ate there, my father would go up. There it goes. Game over. He's going to stink now. I'd be like, no, no, no. And I would just eat too much and just get in a little coma and be staring at my father and be going, why did you eat that, you moron?
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yeah. Yeah. I was about to say, you inspired an entire generation to get on the golf course, man. I promise you, you did. I was one of the kids. We used to go up to the public course all the time and just wanted to absolutely hammer him and hit him
Starting point is 00:14:41 with the happy Gilmore swing and everything. That's so great. And we were hockey players growing up. So that right the movie extra hard. Yeah, so hard man Yeah, I know you both you guys remind me of my friends so much growing up like if you met my friends What you did you actually saw a few at the YouTube show right now was awesome, man Oh, how cool was that concert that was incredible? It wasn't saying but it was more fun seeing you there, buddy. We love seeing you. No, that was like, I was telling Trav, I've told him before, I reminded him again today.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I have not been starstruck like much in my life and seeing all of you guys next to me, like the entire ensemble, especially you, it was like, man, what the fuck in my head right now? That was cool, man. It's insane, man I was like I came here to watch you two and I saw every person that like I ever looked up to Like and like all of the best shows all the best movies like it was so cool. It was awesome Thank you, man. Well, we love seeing you too, but we talked about you flying home that night Anyways, that was a fun time. Both you boys remind me of exact dudes I hung out with growing up.
Starting point is 00:15:53 You two guys, the guys, they would protect me. I was a little bit of a wise guy. I had a couple of boys like you always around, making sure I didn't get beat up too much. Jason, speaking of being in a room where you you're like how the fuck did I get here was there Ever a moment like that early on for you where you're just like how? How did it happen so fast? How did I get here? Yes? Yes. Yes. I'm sure I like I don't remember anything Saturday Night Live That kind of did it to you every every week you meet
Starting point is 00:16:23 Saturday Night Live, that kind of did it to you. Every week you'd meet superstars that you grew up with, Dan Aykroyd, like all the original SNL cast. We got to meet so many of those cast members. And then just comedians we all loved growing up. Then rock stars, we got to meet Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen. Everybody we talked about, all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:16:43 we were in the room shooting the shit with it was incredible. That's awesome Before before we get off a happy Gilmore though. I was I'm actually curious I'm not familiar with how the original like thought process of the movie came came about. Oh, okay Yeah, I'm a little I'm pretty curious like out like was it just you just messing around on a on a golf course and it kind of connected the dots or what? It was, it was my dad, like I said, he liked golf. We used to go to the driving range a lot and I had a great friend, Kyle McDonough, who ended up playing pro hockey, a great hockey player.
Starting point is 00:17:18 In New Hampshire, it's a big hockey town. Oh yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, so Kyle came out with me and my dad and he didn't play much golf But he was banging him. We were young maybe ninth grade or something something like that And he was banging and my father kept saying man you hockey players. There's something about Your wrist or the way you turn or something like that and and and I just was like think I was in college or finishing up college or just
Starting point is 00:17:47 maybe 23. And I thought, man, man, that'd be pretty funny to see a guy with a hockey mentality. Have such a big hit that he gets up, gets on the tour. And I remember calling my dad and telling my dad about it and going, what do you think? And he was like, it could be pretty good. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. But when me and my buddy, about it and go, what do you think? And he was like, it could be pretty good, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see, but me and my buddy, Herlihy, who I write all the movies with, we would write that and we'd call my dad and say,
Starting point is 00:18:13 does this make sense? And Golf, when you putt, what do you think? And it's all in the hips and stuff like that. That was my dad, I would say. Oh my gosh. He said it's all in the hips, baby. It's all in the hips, and that's why we wrote that. Chubbs. Absolutely, that would say, Oh, my what is it? He said it's all the hips, baby. It's all the hips. And that's why we wrote that shit. Chubbs.
Starting point is 00:18:29 What's in store with the sequel? What do you like? I don't without giving away too much, obviously. But like, what are we? What are we looking for here? Well, first of all, Travis, we're going to have fun because the scene you're doing is with so
Starting point is 00:18:42 many great golfers. It's going to be amazing. You're going to be funny as hell. Oh yeah. The movie itself, it just picks up from an older guy who's played golf a long time. Some stuff goes on in his life. He's a little, he's different. He's a bit of a mess when you meet Happy. And then we kind of try to get his life cooking again. Wonderful. I love it, man.
Starting point is 00:19:11 I think it's cool. It's going to be, I mean, we're trying to make you laugh the whole time, but it's got a cool vibe to it. If you're doing it, it's going to be fucking great. I don't even see why. You were on Fallon letting everybody know that you've been waiting for the right storyline. You've been waiting to feel the moment of it and to do it right. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:19:31 We got all the trust in the world. You're going to bring Happy back and make him lovable again, man. Thank you, bro. Thank you. I love you. I don't want anyone to get let down. So you got that in the back of your head. You just want to make it as good as you're capable. Me and my pal, we were just in the back of your head. You just want to make it as as as good as you're capable me and my pal
Starting point is 00:19:46 I mean we were just in the room. We just sit every line. We're going to be sure we sure we sure about this one All right, this is good. We let's move, you know, we're just examining everything We just just want it to be as as cool as possible The original got me on the golf course and also got me in the batting cage is doing shit I probably shouldn't be doing Just toughen it off Got me on the golf course and also got me in the batting cage is doing shit. I probably shouldn't be doing How fast of a ball was hitting you When I got hit by a pitch I just rolled in the chalk for a fucking 45 minutes You gotta wear it you gotta wear it
Starting point is 00:20:33 Don't rub don't rub it. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, that's good Yeah, boys. Did you play Little League baseball too? Oh, yeah, everything man everything sports related It was like the backyard was like a sports complex. We we would go up and get all the used equipment from played against sports and my dad would get like everything for like $20 and he would just get the equipment, put it in our hands and let us have some fun with it, man.

Then everybody got big and way stronger than me So I became less and less of you didn't notice me like when I played Babe Ruth baseball I went from being I was on the all-star team in Little League to like I think Adams on that team I don't know, you know
Starting point is 00:26:00 Second or third to batten sixth and seventh and maybe deeper, the older I got, the worse I got. But you're still on the courts, man. I was about to say. Yes, yes. Your skills on the court are iconic because you're just a facilitator. You just see things before they happen. Remind me of a guy like Patty Mahomes
Starting point is 00:26:22 and how his game is on the court. Sweet behind the backer, that behind the backer. I have dreams of throwing that to you. Back door bounce passes. Oh yeah. I'm all back door. That's all I ever talk to. Because when I play, I always play with young dudes and I always, if they're not moving, I always like whisper them. I go, you got to move, bro. You got to stay on the move move. You gotta go, let it go, I'll fake up high, just cut that low, you gotta move though for me, because I ain't gonna shoot, I gotta get it to you.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Just a natural leader baby. Yeah. I love it man, it's so fun watching you and all those highlights man. Oh man, you guys must have been fun on a basketball court, grabbing rebounds. I was shocked. Jason used to beat my ass literally.
Starting point is 00:27:04 One on one? I would win the game, but it would be a brutal ass beating. Oh yeah. Grabbing rebounds. I was shocked. Jason used to beat my ass, literally. One on one? I would win the game, but it would be a brutal ass beating. Oh, yeah. And I would just get thrown on the cement the entire time. Until you hit puberty, I would whoop your ass. But then there was one day, it was the last time we ever got in a fist fight.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, yeah. He freaking is just driving the lane, and he's finally as tall as I am doing this stupid fucking hook shot. I had a mean hook shot. And I can't stop had a mean hook shot. It was so buttery. It was so buttery. I had a right and a left. So I start falling and just beating the crap out of them. But yeah, it's, yeah, I know, I could play defense. I can play some defense now, but there's minimal offense being played. I'll set picks. I will pick and rebound all day long.
Starting point is 00:27:41 That I see. That I know. That's cool as hell, man. Yeah, you boys on the court must have been scary for the whole neighborhood. You told us about how Happy Gilmore, how did you create a Creole Southern, Oh, so good. Like where did the inspiration for Bobby Boushey come from? I'm not sure if you heard us.
Starting point is 00:28:01 We were literally like, I don't know how he didn't win more awards for this. An Oscar. This was ridiculously good work. This is before I had seen Life is Beautiful I'm not sure if you heard us. We were literally like I don't know how he didn't win more awards for this This was ridiculously good. This is before I had seen life is beautiful. Roberto Benigni did a great job with them He did very good Yeah, yeah, no I I wasn't getting oscars I never thought of that stuff when I was doing a boucher but But I was I couldn't believe it. It was like, we had this idea, a water boy gets picked on a lot. You know,
Starting point is 00:28:33 a coach thinks he could be, you know, sees him throw a nasty hit and then says, maybe you should be on the team. That was kind of the idea. And we were like, let's make them from the South. Let's make them Cajun. And then we just went from there, man. We just, I don't know how it happened. We just filled out a script like that. So good, so good. It probably felt right as it came together too. You're just like, man, this is coming together so smooth.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Cause it's so, if we start to finish, that thing is perfect. Oh, I mean, we were so excited writing that. Thank you. Thanks for all these compliments guys. Honestly, I love you. I appreciate it. So I remember with the Waterboy, we
Starting point is 00:29:11 wanted that he had a very protective mama. And there was this movie, Carrie. It was a terrifying movie. And it was an overprotective mom who didn't want her daughter to be around anything too heavy. And anyways, so we kind of wrote a mom like that that's overprotective to Bobby and so he had to sneak around and play his foosball. The breath of which like you did SNL, the comedy era that you were a part of was just so strong. It almost makes it unfair for modern day comedy man.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Well I mean I watched these young guys down there in Crete. I love so many young comedians. I really do. In the Saturday Night Live cast after ours ours, in the beginning, when you first leave, when you and you see the next cast, you're like, hey, what about us? We would this and that. But the older I got, I'd watch every cast, I'd be like, fuck, these guys are incredible. And the men and women on the show, and the way they they handle themselves,
Starting point is 00:30:20 I was like, oh, shit, man, I wish I had another crack at that because I do better next time. I like these guys. Anyways, it was it was it was lucky. Lucky our era. We were all best friends. Me and me and my buddies, just like you guys are with your with your teammates. And now we get to watch the youth be funny. Do you have any like skit?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Like what was your favorite sketch or the one that you think is like the most underrated from your time in SNL? I mean, honestly, fellas, you know, you guys both did the show. You guys were great. I saw you that fucking weekend. When you came back, I was telling you how fucking, I mean, you were so cool, confident as fuck out there, funny as shit. You guys, honestly, you guys remind me so much of my boys growing up. That's why when I saw you on the show, I was like, fuck, it would be like if my friend Dave Kinnair hosted the show. It was just kind of like cool fucking dudes who know everything, no comedy, no sports,
Starting point is 00:31:16 know everything, know how to be decent to their families. I fucking loved watching you out there. Just channeling my inner Sandman and Farley, baby. There you go. Yes, yes. Oh channeling my inner Sandman and Farley, baby. There you go, yes, yes. Oh my God, you would have loved Farley. He would have loved you guys, man. Farley was fucking great football player, by the way. Heck yeah, yeah, little Marquette rugby too, baby.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Exactly, exactly. And ready to fight, by the way. A couple of drinks and he was ready to go. He was ready to throw down. For sure, it was honestly kind of like when he had a couple of drinks and he was ready to go. Ready to throw down. All right. For sure. It was honestly kind of like when he had a couple of them, we were like, calm the fuck down. Let's not do this.
Starting point is 00:31:51 No one else can fight like you. So good, man. I like it. The sauce. Yes. That's one of my favorite ones, dude. Oh, you like it. The juice is good.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah. That was good. That was this guy, Robert Smygle, who's one of the fucking greatest of all time. He's a great writer and a great performer. He plays Triumph, the dog, you know, the Ansoga. Heck yeah. That dude, he wrote so many great skits and he wrote the Jews skit. And we got to walk around and go, you like it? You like it? That's good.
Starting point is 00:32:25 You do it smoother than me, bud. It's so good, man. I forgot how to drop it in there. It's the best, man. How many times do you get quotes told, do you just like, I mean, it's gotta be just nonstop. We get it a lot on the streets, on the streets of New York. They scream some shit at me.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Does it get old? No, no, it's always fucking fun. It's always nice like shit when it comes at you that you for I was there are things brought up to me that I go, what the fuck is that I have no idea what it is anymore. And then somebody would just remind me when you you know, it's on your album when you said this and this and I go fuck I don't I don't remember saying any of that shit. Actually last night, my daughter is watching 50 First Dates and she's like, Dad, come watch I go I don't remember saying any of that shit. Actually, last night, my daughter's watching 50 First Dates, and she's like,
Starting point is 00:33:07 Dad, come watch. I go, I don't need to watch me. And she's like, watch this. Look how sweet you are. I go, oh, right. And then I told her, I go, I got to be honest with you. I remember Drew saying all that stuff. I don't remember me even talking like I was. It's like I look back at the shit. I mean, I don't even fucking remember scene to scene.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I'm like, oh, oh, we did that. I didn't remember that place. I have an old voice. Have you, have you been someone that like you, you like to watch everything that you have? Or I mean, I'm sure nowadays you're just, you're so engulfed in, you're in the edit and like directing it and everything, right? Yes, yes, yes. I've done that so long now that once we're done and the movie comes out, I probably don't watch it
Starting point is 00:33:50 for a few years. If it's on TV, I'll see it for a minute, but that's usually it. You stay with shit for like a year, you go, all right, I don't need to fucking see that anymore. Yeah, I couldn't, I can't really watch anything that I do when it's being recorded. But I have so much goddamn fun doing stuff like SNL and just like the comedy stuff that
Starting point is 00:34:12 I don't need to watch it. I was so fulfilled doing it. That energy. Yeah. Yeah. The energy is just so fulfilling that I don't want to ruin it by by critiquing myself. I know. I know. You definitely you can look at your shit after and go, oh, I thought I was better than that. What the fuck was I doing there? I got a lot of that. Believe me, I got shit from when I was young
Starting point is 00:34:33 that my kids show me. I go, I don't wanna know that fucking exists. Holy shit, that was insane. I watched the monologue because that was a moment that I wanted to remember forever. And I'd like I just being on that fucking Stage was the cool behind being behind that door and being on that stage and being in that studio was just so Iconic and you fucking walked out like so Relaxed man. How about being behind that fucking door, dude?
Starting point is 00:35:02 And your hearts pounding through your chest like holy shit, it's happening right now. And just don't, Travis, don't fall down these fucking steps. Do not fall down these steps. You are live, dude, you are live. You should have seen him. Your brother was there to help you too. That was nice. I was about to say, you should have seen him
Starting point is 00:35:18 in the first rehearsal. I was there the day before watching him trying to get ready and he comes out that door and he starts choking up. And I'm like, there's nobody here. This ain't live. Like, what are we choking up for? And he was saying exactly coming,
Starting point is 00:35:31 like standing behind that door, seeing the signatures, all of that, like fully hit him. And it's just like such a moment. So totally. Jason's been beating my ass all my whole life. So I'm a cry baby anyways. I just, I get really, really, I'm engulfed and then then when I'm when I'm in on something, I'm so fucking in on it. And it just took it over, man. Yeah, it just took me over. It did. Yeah, get you teary
Starting point is 00:35:53 eyed. I had some of that. I hosted the show again, like around six years ago. And same kind of feel I'd walk around on a Thursday two days before the fucking shit, the show and that I was getting teary eyed and looking and so many memories and so many greats that have been there and musical acts and fucking you just think of when you were a little kid and all the shit, all the joy that places brought you. It's the best, man. Yeah, you're in there forever now. Both of you guys got to kill on that shit.
Starting point is 00:36:22 I love it, man. You more than anybody I've ever watched has like, it's not that you stayed the same. Like I know you've evolved, but you've been so authentic in everything you've done. Like from from SNL to the movies to stand up the one that just came out, like between what you wear, the people involved in it, like it's all just so authentically. How have you? I don't know. Has this been like, how do you do that? Same way as you guys would do in your life. Same shit. You feel comfortable with certain people.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Yeah, the same wavelength. You're on what makes you guys happy. What makes you click like you would with teammates or just fucking, you know, off season. The guys you hang out with that's kind of like what I got with my buddies when we make the movies and we sit in a room and write the shit and have a similar sensibility.
Starting point is 00:37:11 So I guess that's why we all do it together. Were you a Belushi and Aykroyd? Yes. Were like going into it, did you have like the guys where you were like, man, if I could just somehow be as funny as that guy? Well, I'll tell tell you you never fucking think you're as good as the cast before you yeah so like yes Belushi Acroid Acroid I mean he became like a
Starting point is 00:37:35 guy that we hung out with we got to hey I loved him so much but and he treated us so great so awesome it's kind of like fucking Andy Reed just you have this respect for the fucking guy and what he's seen When he talks to you kind of go yes, yes, yes Yes, you feel like you get knowledge all the time and fucking the Castmates before you feel the same shit. You just like that's whatever they say There's there's no no reason for me to talk unless they asked me to talk Whatever they say, there's no reason for me to talk unless they ask me to talk.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And that's about it. I know that feeling. Got that with Dana Carby, got that with all the guys, Dennis Miller, all the guys who were older than us, and Jan Hooks and Victoria Jackson, and the whole cast that was there before us, John Lovitz, we just fucking, Kevin Nealon, all those guys. Whatever they had to say

You know, they do say,

But it'll all happen. My own kids, I don't throw my stuff at them too quick. It just happens. They haven't seen a few of the filthy ones yet, and let's hope that they don't need to see that stuff. Yeah, well, I actually saw you take the girls to the Taylor Swift premiere at the AMC Theaters. That was, by the way, what a girl.
Starting point is 00:39:44 What a girl. You know that, man. You know it. Best performer out here. Dude, she means so much to our house. Since the kids, I think I was shooting, like grownups or That's My Boy or something in Massachusetts. And we listened to, and the kids were little,
Starting point is 00:40:01 and we were listening to Taylor Swift and listening to every song is one of the first times that you listen to every song on the record. Like when I was a kid, I think the Beatles you did that with maybe Elton John, I will you do every tune. Oh yeah. You know when we start to finish, it's not like three hits and you go, all right, let me skip fucking Taylor in our house. Every tune, they knew every word I loved listening to her in the car. I love what she had to say every message, every melody, just the production,
Starting point is 00:40:36 how cool she was, what she meant to to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life throughout the year Saturday Night Live saw the kids there took her time hung out with them and then at her at her premiere for the movie she talked to the kids and talked to them about their movie you know they did this Bob Metsvah movie and she talked about what she liked in it and she just floors my family so cool man. Floors them.

And comedy, when you're being funny, it's, it's usually
Starting point is 00:46:33 if you're confident in what you're saying and committing to something.

Was it just a challenge that you wanted to do or was it like? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like that now. When I was younger, I did a movie a long time ago called Punch Drunk Love and that was just luck. I was doing my comedies. Paul Thomas Anderson, who's this amazing guy and amazing director, he wrote this movie for me and said, give it a shot. He believed in me so I did it. Nice.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Had a few of those where I work with these elite directors and kind of do my best for them. And it's different than what I do. I, you know, like waterboy and shit like that. We have fun writing that shit and doing that shit. And it's the best time we could ever have. But when it comes to serious stuff, I just don't want to let down this just like you guys don't want to let down the coach. I don't want to let down the director. So I fucking just commit as hard as I can. Thank you. Accountability baby. Exactly. Yeah. So we we got to jump into your we always do a Mount Rushmore of of like Jason did Mount Rushmore centers My Rushmore Centers. Centers, I did Mount Rushmore.

Starting point is 00:48:18 Shit, I never thought about this. It kinda changes what, which I love some of them one day and then the next day I'm like, why the fuck did I do that? But all right, let's say Billy Madison's always got to be up there because it was kind of the first movie that let me let me kind of have a little control. Yeah, me and my buddies and Tamara Davis was the director and we kind of we were young. And we believed in it. So we got that done. I love Bobby Boucher. Shit, man. I and I love being that guy love doing movies with Drew Barrymore and
Starting point is 00:48:55 with Jennifer Aniston. So yeah, that was just I can't pick. I don't know what my guys names are in those. But whoever I was in those right now, I guess. Yeah.
