Starting point is 00:06:01 Yes. The movie Harlan County USA. Yeah. Is that about you and your family? Just me. It doesn't say Harlan Family County, U.S. It just says Harlan. It's about me.
Starting point is 00:06:13 When did you bought that whole county? I lived there. And I went through my trials and tribulations. I went through puberty there. I lost my virginity there. I got my first fist fight there. I made my first dollar there. I went to my first church service there.
Starting point is 00:06:30 I did all kinds of things there, guy. So when you lost your virginity, I'm assuming right after that, was the fist fight or right before? There was a fist fight right before, but then when I did the act, there was a fist fight later. Right after. Like she punched me in the face.
Starting point is 00:06:50 I didn't reciprocate, but she says, hey, that was about the worst ride I've ever had. Can I have my ticket back? And when does this damn carnival close? And then boom. And then an uppercut. But she missed, because like you, I have no chin. You dick. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:07:12 You know what? Well, we got no chin. It's no... You have no chin because you eat too much. I have no chin because it's hereditary. Me too. It's sags. You think I like this?

Starting point is 00:09:23 No, it wasn't. I said, Harland, can you be the opening act for my comedy club? Right. And you said yes. And why did I pick you? Because you were always funny, you're hysterically funny, and it was a big favor, and I go, I want a great opener. Harlan. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Who's funnier than Harlan? So here we are. You open a brand new comedy club in Hollywood. You invite 30 comics, like David Spade, all these people, Tia Marona or whatever her name was from Wayne's World. Tia Carrere. And she got up and played a ukulele for 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:10:01 And you had people in the crowd. You had the cast of friends. Because she's from Hawaii. And it's the, it's the, um, they had that theme. Yeah, Lisa Kudra. I grew up with her family and brother David's. Kudra was there. Ed O'Neill was there.

Starting point is 00:10:40 Right. And I went, dude, no, she's not here. And you went, yeah, she's right there. And you pointed to her. And there's Darry, Zachary Hannah in the flesh. sitting in the shadows, and she was my Marilyn Monroe. When I was in college...
Starting point is 00:10:55 Well, how was I supposed to know? I know, but my brain locked up. When I was a kid in college, I said, if I ever meet her, I'm going to marry her. So you admit you froze. I wasn't the crowd. I'll say, and I'm like, what happened? I know.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I went up to you, Harland. What happened? Daryl Hannah. Like you've never performed in front of famous people before. It was the girl from Splash. I've never performed in front of a mermaid. She wasn't wearing her mermaid costume that night. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I thought I smelt fish. All you did you do is look at her. I thought I smelled salmon. I thought I smelled something. I'm not going to touch that even with your thing. But I did admit that I was bombing. And if you remember, I admitted it on stage. Because I was sucking so bad.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I stopped my act. You know, you just feel. froze you weren't being funny. It wasn't the audience. You just were like, uh, right. I locked up. But then I said it on stage. I said, folks, I'm bombing and here's why. And I told the story. I go, Daryl Hanna's here. John Zachary Lovitz told me three minutes before I go on stage. And I said, I'm bombing because of her. Because of that. It shut down. I thought someday I will retaliate. Oh, here we go. And I retaliated today. What?

Starting point is 00:17:25 Yeah, and then he went, well, he's one of the guys had invented comedy and sitcoms. They don't know that. And then when he went into a network and he said the executive, I like to tell you about my next show. He was like 62. Oh, wow.

Starting point is 00:18:09 I know what it is. Well, they don't. In the early 1890s and vaudeville it was a variety shows. They didn't have TV, they'd have radio. Right. They'd have theater, plays, musical. A musical was just
Starting point is 00:18:27 a bunch of songs. Yeah. And dance numbers wasn't a story really and then and then the they'd have dramas and comedies but they had um vaudeville was a variety show like an hour and a half and they have uh jugglers and singers and wow comedians but they'd have
Starting point is 00:18:45 comedians there would be the pairs so there was two there was never a single comedian it was a straight man and a who'd set up the comic and the and the comedian what about sime's twins Castell
Starting point is 00:18:59 What about him? Were they ever comedians? I don't know. I wasn't alive then. But I'm trying to tell you something interesting. No, this is great. So they had it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:14 It was always a straight man and a comic. Yeah. And the straight man would go, what'd you do today? Well, today, da-da-da-da. Why'd you do that? Well, because a... da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And the straight man would feed the comedian. He'd set him up. You know, and so, like, Abbott and Costello were the famous straight man and comedian. But there was one guy, he was the first guy. He invented stand-up comedy named Frank Fay. He was the first guy to go on stage by himself and do stand-up. You didn't know that. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:19:48 He also invented being an MC. I thought Frank Stand-Up Comedy invented stand-up comedy. No, Frank Faye. And he was married to Barbara Stanwick, the great actors Stand. For five years and used to,
Starting point is 00:20:01 he was a drunk, he beat the crap out of her. And the movie Is Darr is born, which they did in the 20s and then in the 30s and then they did it again with Judy Garland
Starting point is 00:20:13 and they did it again with Barbara Streisand and then they did it again with Bradley Cooper. They keep remaking it. It was about her, based on her marriage to Frank Fay.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Well, rather than jabber our waddles off. And he directed an emcee and, let me just tell you, And stand-up comedy, like you go on stage, oh, how are you doing, folks? He invented that. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:34 And then, but he was a horrible, like you, horrible anti-Semite. Really? I hate Semites. He had... Have you ever seen one? This is how bad an anti-Semite he was. They had a show six months after the end of World War II,
Starting point is 00:20:52 and they didn't stop. In Madison Square Garden, called The Friends of Frank Fay. And it was the Ku Klux Klan, the American Nazi party, the worst groups ever. This guy does sound hilarious. He started stand-up comedy? He invented being alone on stage, talking in a natural improvisational manner. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Oh, sorry, folks, I'm late today, but I was doing this thing that I got stuck at the home doing it. No one had ever done that. He did it. Well, because they... And you know what an MC is? A meat cleaner? Master of ceremonies. Well, it could be anything. MC, it could be monster cunt.
Starting point is 00:21:33 He invented that. Well, how do you know it's a master of ceremonies? It's just two letters. Because I'm not an idiot like you. It's just two letters. It could be meatloaf corruption. EMC, E-M-C-E. You have to stay close to your mic.
Starting point is 00:21:48 E-M-C. There you go. Rather than babble our waddles on about all this. You're a fucking wot. Can we just show them what the vaudeville, Abbott and Costello, and just reenact the famous Who's on First routine for everyone? Go ahead. Hey, who's on first?

Starting point is 00:22:36 No. No's Chinese. Wait. Is there a Chinese guy in the league? This isn't even close to what they do. I think it's pretty close. No, you're... Well, at least we're giving them an example.
Starting point is 00:22:47 You're absolutely awful. Well, we're reunited. Why don't you take you and your blood red lobster shirt into the bathroom and add to what I did? This is blood. ass blood art. This was a white shirt, and then after you didn't flush, I went in and soaked this in the toilet like tie-dye.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And it came out with lobsters. This is your ass-blood. Well, I'm very talented. Well, I did the dipping, not you. You just made the ink. And created the lobsters in the bowl. It's called Batina, Batica, and I put elastic bands around the shirt, dipped it
Starting point is 00:23:22 in your arse blood. And I knew that if you did that, arranged it so it would come out as a lobster. Okay, then can we say it? We both did it? No. Why not? I don't want to. It's your arse blood, but it's my vision.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You're just a baby, you know that? I did it. You just, you'd used it. Well. Used my blood. Speaking of vaudevillians and juggling, I'm glad you brought it up because I've been working on my juggling act, and I'd love to show it to you.

Starting point is 00:30:22 It was the last one. Was it? Yeah. So in a way you're having, if you were to the last supper? I'm sorry. You could have brought me nothing and I would have been fine. You're having the last dessert. So in a way, you're Jesus, if we ever got to see him have dessert.
Starting point is 00:30:36 In a way? Well, we never seen. First of all, Jesus was a Jew. Secondly, you think his name as a Jewish guy, you've heard of a Jewish guy named Jesus Christ? No. What? Less Jewish name.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Larry? Sounding as Jesus Christ. Oh. His name was probably like Jacob Cohen. It was? What's wrong with Jesus Christ? I just don't, have you, I've never met a Jew named Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Well, it's like, have you ever met a German guy named Hitler? Once, some names get used up. I never met him, but, you know. Yes. There's no Hitler. There's no more Hitler. There's no more Jesus Christ. Some names get used up on the first shot.
Starting point is 00:31:16 I don't buy it. Have you ever been at the mall and bumped into Pontius Pilot? No. No, but his family had that name. I know, but you don't meet Pontius Pilot unless you're flying spirit airways, and then you might. Oh, did you ever meet a Mexican named Moussay Tong? What kind of tongue? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:31:37 He's on third. Wait. I don't know. It's on second. It's on third. What? Is at home plate. First base.
Starting point is 00:31:48 But here's what, you're doing something very important now. In a biblical context. Eating your Sunday? All we talked about in history, in the Bible, is the last supper. No one ever talks about the last dessert, and here you are. And ironically, I'm eating it on Sunday, which is when you go to church. Today's Monday guy. I know, but I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I will so pretend this is Sunday. I'm eating the Sunday, amen. You know what's interesting because... I meant I'm eating a Sunday. On a Sunday. And Sunday is the day you go to church. But we could say it's Sunday because air tells... You can't tell with air.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Like, is this Friday air or is this Thursday air? I don't know. It's your show. Well, it's air. So why don't we just say... Because it's invisible. You're an air with that waddle chin. We'll say... We'll say it Sunday.
Starting point is 00:32:40 All right. Because you can't differentiate this air from any other day of the week. This thing is really delicious. Well, say it like you're Jesus. I tell you that Sunday's delicious. You're Italian? But? Jesus wasn't Italian, was he?
Starting point is 00:32:57 He was a Jewish rabbi. And by the way, if you're Italian, you could never do this because you have a waddle. You, son of a bitch. Would you let it go already? Well, we both. have it and you do that and it just keeps going, it goes right up your face. Fucking marshmallow belly head.
Starting point is 00:33:13 You try to give someone the fungula and when you have a waddle, it just goes right up your face. But if you have an Italian chin, it goes off like fungula. But when we do it, it's like, God damn waddle. By the way, I named my waddle.
Starting point is 00:33:28 When you walk you waddle. I do? No, but I do. Yeah. But you're... Are we having a waddle fight right now? I loved you in Ghostbusters. With your marshmallow belly.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Look, when I go fishing, I don't cast. I dive, like a pelican. Can you use that for bait? I named my chin, my waddle, because in the Indian culture, I named my waddle Igabal Hasnu, or an Indian dialect, Igabal Hasnuman. Oh, you mean Indian from India?
Starting point is 00:34:07 East India. Because their names have second meaning. Very often an Indian name, you say it, but it also means golden sunrise, flaming dragon. My Igabal Hasnu means he with strong chin. Igabal Hasnu? Yes. I mean, yes. You just addressed my wattle.
Starting point is 00:34:31 You know what's funny is people going, oh, he just made that up, but he didn't. Right. Igabal Hasnu. No, Igabal. What did you say? What'd you say? Say it right. You're talking to my waddle. What did you? You said Ig ball. It's Igaball.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I thought you said something else. Whoa, guy. Well, it sounded like him. What did it sound like? Are you being an anti-Semite right now? Oh, dude. We'll play it back to see what it sounded like. Jesus Christ. I'm working on my waddle. I'm working on this.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Do you work on your face? Are you working on your act? I'm acting right now, maybe. Acting like a fool. I'm trying to act funny. Gee, I wish you would have done that at my club. You know what? I'm this close to sucking this eggplant.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Keep it up, guy, and I'll suck an eggplant right in your face. I will suck this thing so hard I turn purple. Well, it was just... You're one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen. So funny. How funny. I said, Harlan, I'd be honored if you... I know, I said yes immediately.
Starting point is 00:35:55 You called me up? I was like, yes. I didn't know you'd put Daryl Hanna in there. You got to understand, buddy. I went to see Blade Runner in college. And Daryl Hanna walked out of the mist in fishnet stockings and blonde hair and thin as a rail and curvy.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yes, but she was acting. I know, but she blew my mind. And so she was my adolescent. and crush. And when I told all my college buddies, if I ever meet her one day, I'm going to marry her. Well, here's my question. So it blew my mind. I short-circuited. Did you meet her at that night? So afterwards, because on stage, I did blame her in sort of a funny way, but I confessed to the crowd. I was bombing, and it was because of dare. And I told the story, she was my college crust, and I was short-circuiting. And afterwards, you took me over to meet her. And we went up, and
Starting point is 00:36:47 and I said, Darrell, you ruined my act, and I smiled, and she hugged me and said, you're cute. And I just about melted like, remember when they threw the water on the wicked witch and Wizard of Oz? Yes. I almost melted into the ground. What a world! What a world! I'm melting! But I didn't want to melt all over your brand new club.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Thank you. And then what happened? And then she left, and I think she married Jackson Brown or Neil Young or something. And I'm Canadian, so is he. Why couldn't you've married me? Well, you should ask for a number. I suppose that's my fault, too. Yes, it was.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Oh, for God's sake. Do you ever take responsibility for your actions? Ever? I timed it with your thing. Try it again. I'll do it again. Who are those two people? Are those relatives of yours?
Starting point is 00:37:44 Easy guy, easy. We don't want any of that anti-semit garbage. Well, who is that? They're just, it's odd. Nice, try it. So you tried to divert my attention with the art, tried to stuff the dog food Sunday in your mouth. What is it?
Starting point is 00:38:03 I can't do it until you do it. Now I'm stuck. I'm too good. I'm working on my waddle. Have you done any cosmetic surgery? Be honest. It's Hollywood guy. You're a big star.
Starting point is 00:38:26 I did in the sense of I got a tattoo. Where and what? What is it? I got a tattoo on my dick of a really huge dick. How big? Huge. Like how much bigger than your, like how would it fit on your little one? It just, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I didn't do the tattoo, but it worked. Well, I got a tattoo of a giraffe sleeping on a beanbag chair. I was an inch, and now it's 10. You got a 10-inch tattoo on an inch of real estate. Well, I didn't do it. How is this possible? I don't know, but it works. Okay, so let's say you have a tattoo of a weenus on your penis.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Is the original canvas circumcised or uncirked? I'm Jewish, so clearly I'm circumcised. You're what? You're Jewish. Me too. You are not. Sure as hell I am. Really?
Starting point is 00:39:51 Yeah. All right. What is... Do you speak Hebrew? Sure. Okay. What does this mean? Word mean, Ken.
Starting point is 00:40:02 It's a doll that married Barbie. That's what it means in Hebrew, Ken. What do Loh mean? It's part of a Chinese dish, Lomaine. Ma. That's the opposite to Pa. Wrong on all accounts. I told you I'm Jewish. What are you thinking?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Ken means yes. Low means no. And Ma means what? What part of Jewish? Ma Ken Lowe. What yes, no. What kind of off-track bedding, coconut cream pie, turkey terriaki Jew are you? Learn to speak. What kind of a lobster butt schmeg, covered dick-nosed

And now you're going to inject it into your face? Well, I have to do it every 20 minutes just to stay young. Don't get it on me.
Starting point is 00:41:32 What are you talking about? Oh. I'm just trying to stay young, guy. This is Hollywood. It's working. Right. Why do you look so surprised? No, because I didn't know if it was going to work that quickly.
Starting point is 00:41:53 What do you think? You look 10 years younger. Right. And if I shoot... And you look like a man just jacked off on your face, too. Okay, come on. But you look younger. Come on, guy.

Starting point is 00:42:20 But anyways, what are you doing? I was playing tennis earlier. Oh, yeah. You play tennis. and golf. Yeah, not well, but golf, he's horrible. How long you've been playing tennis?

Starting point is 00:44:35 Well, I would play, you know, back then in the 60s, everybody played baseball, Little League. So I was really into base. I wanted to be Willie May as a baseball player. But I would play tennis for a couple of weeks and stuff for six months. But about in 1988, I was doing a movie. While I was staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, as well, I was lensing a pick. Hotel dropper. And I want to take a tennis lesson.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I took a lesson with Wimbledon champion, Alex Lomato, and in two weeks I got so much better, I thought, well, what if I didn't stop? How good could I get? And I haven't stopped since. Wait, so why haven't we ever played? I love playing tennis. You've never played me. Don't have to. I can look at you. What? Why would you say that guy? I'm a really good tennis player. Mm-mm. Do you play racquetball?
Starting point is 00:45:31 I have. And? I thought I was good, and I played Al Franken. He's good? Yeah, he killed me. Then he goes, I thought you said he were good. I thought you were to beat me really bad. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:46 I said, I am good, but you're really good. But he won, and he kept complaining. I go, you were like the sorst winner I've ever met. You won, and you're complaining. You think you'll end the friendship? I would end the friendship with a guy if he said that to me. Are you getting out of the Frankl business? No, I love Al.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah, but I think there's some animosity. There was some hatred. I think it's time to end the... Dissolve the friendship. Al was one of the people that hired me for Sarenet Island. I know, but if you could listen to me... You know what he said? Can you listen to me?
Starting point is 00:46:19 Dissolve the friendship. I haven't seen him in years, but do you know what he said? The? When I got Sarenet Live, I said, why did you pick me? Yeah. He said, you are everything we didn't want. in one person. I went, oh, he goes,
Starting point is 00:46:36 but you were funny. I said, oh, thanks and a lot. Now, are you familiar with the term passive-aggressive? Because that sounded like the... Yes. The answer is yes, no. That's what you...
Starting point is 00:46:54 If someone asks you, are familiar with passive-aggressive, you go, yes, no. No, I'm very familiar with it. You dick! Whoa! That's a... fifth time you've called me the D word.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I was trying to be passive aggressive. Well, you keep bringing up, you know what. What? He's on third. Who's on what's on second? You're trying to get your face in or eating a thing of ice cream isn't going to help.
Starting point is 00:47:22 What do you mean? Nothing. Can we tell the folks that we worked on a show together? I don't even know if you remember. Do you remember the show we did together. Mr. Box Office? No. We didn't have
Starting point is 00:47:39 scenes together, but we were guest stars that week on the same show. It was a big NBC production, but we never had lines together, but we were the guest stars with concurrent stories running throughout the episode.
Starting point is 00:47:55 What show? I don't remember. Vegas. Remember with James Kahn? Yeah. Oh, you were on that? You were like the suicidal like gambler guy, and I was the new security guy. Oh. Wow, that hurts, guy.
Starting point is 00:48:12 That really cuts deep. That's going to make me want to snap an eggplant. When did you know? I have to get out my aggression. When did you know we were on the show to get? No, don't. Don't. I've got to get the hostility.
Starting point is 00:48:24 I'm going to snap an eggplant. Kill it. Oh, my God. Who knew an eggplant looked like that inside? Where's the yolk? Have you ever seen a split-up an eggplant? No, that's horrible. How would you do that?
Starting point is 00:48:45 I was getting my aggression out because you acted like my acting career had no validity. I said, we were in the same show together and you go, no. No, we were on the same show together. So how many times did you do, Vegas? Once. You know what? They never brought you back, huh? Laugh it up, Sparky.
Starting point is 00:49:13 They brought me back. three times. That's how good I was the first time. You son of a... I can't do it. You son of a bitch! Do you know what you look like right now? What?
Starting point is 00:49:46 Something good, I hope. Then you just auditioned for Jamie Misada. From the laugh factory. What's the project? I was not. in the room. I hope you got the job. You made me do this and I don't like that. Because you, you devalued my acting career.
Starting point is 00:50:08 You spit on me. You cut me open and then poured salt and iodine in my wound. Yeah, well, you started it with the crack about my chin, you fuck. I said Waddle. You get back what you delivered. You get it right back in your cum-covered face. Jesus Christ, that is. That is hilarious. I hope you folks can see his face.
Starting point is 00:50:32 If you're listening to this, you need to watch it. Dude, I'm just trying to stay younger. It's like you just sneezed out a big ball of sperm out of your goddamn nose. What the hell? It just dropped off my love. You'll just do anything. Yeah. Somebody shot their load on the ceiling and on your face.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Damn it. Jesus. You made me do it because you made me feel insured. I'm normally as confident as a crocodile sucking sea turtle shells out of a San Francisco salami shop. No, but seriously, how many times did you do Vegas? I'm going to snap another egg plant once. Oh. What did you do?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Three. They kept bringing me back. They almost made me irregular. They were thinking about it anyway. Damn it, I can't snap another eggplant. Anyway, how have you been? Well, wait a minute, because we're both actors, at least I thought I was. I want to talk.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Well, you are. You starred in your own movie, didn't you? I know, but when you disqualified me from the whole acting game... I didn't disqualify you. It felt like you shut me down. I just said, how many times did you do Vegas? Excuse me. How many times did you do it?
Starting point is 00:52:09 Once. Oh, that's it? Love it So have you been Pretty good, how about you? Hello? Hello? John?
Starting point is 00:52:36 What? How are you? Fine. Listen, I wanted to see if you can tell me Who's on third? No, I don't know is on third. Who's on first? Where?
Starting point is 00:52:49 Outfield. What? On second. What's on second? Yes. But who's on first? Exactly. Okay, goodbye.
Starting point is 00:53:02 And folks, this is vaudeville. I think we're really... I have a question. When George Washington passed away. Oh, that was so sad. Yeah. Why? No, you didn't answer my question.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I was very sad. Why? What... I'm just asking. You know, when Abraham Lincoln died, I wasn't alive. But it still makes me sad. Well, what about when...
Starting point is 00:53:26 How did he explain that? What about when Jesus died? I don't remember that. For a guy who ate the last dessert, you think you would. Well, I think it's sad that he died. I think it's sad the way he died, up on a piece of wood. Horrible. On a hill.
Starting point is 00:53:45 I mean, couldn't he have died in a minivan crash? They didn't have those then. Okay, paragliding. Couldn't Jesus? Or bungee jumping. He was already in the pose. He could have, like, jumped down like this, and then the thing snapped. I am not going there.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Going where? I am not going to be sacrilegious. I am not going to make fun of the passing of... Me neither. Jesus. This is actually uplifting. I'm saying, wouldn't it be nice if he could have had a better, quicker death than dying slowly on a cross?
Starting point is 00:54:20 That was horrible. Like, what about he's in the rainforest, walking on a... a river and a pygmy hits him with a poison frog darn. I'm not participating in this sacrilegious discussion. I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:54:38 this is propping them up. I'm going on record. I will not participate. This leads nowhere but to trouble. Okay, I'll switch topics. Touchy little fella, are you? Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:54:54 What about them? What? What about the way he died? What if he choked on a scallop? He's in a sea. He's at Scallop Fest at Olive Garden. The way your performance died on Vegas? Ah!
Starting point is 00:55:09 I was kidding. I was just joking. I'm sure you were great. That's why they kept bringing you back. Hello? Not. You start in your own movie. What was it?
Starting point is 00:55:30 Wait, wait. I want to talk about Vegas. Did you have scenes with James Kahn? Yeah. Talk about that experience because my experience with working with high-level actors was a lot different and no disrespect than working with, you know, sort of lesser actors that didn't have the traditional old Hollywood school training. Did you experience that when you would act with a guy like James Kahn?
Starting point is 00:56:03 Well, James Kahn, God bless you. him. I knew him before I did the show. You did? And he was always, yeah, very nice to me. Always great. How did you know him? I met him the first time at this club, Helena's downtown. But in person, he had a lot of energy and a very, like a live wire, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:27 And very nice, but strung tight. Yeah, I worked with them. I was, he was, he'd. I know. I worked with them. And, but when he acted, he, he, um, it was there, but he was very resumed. served and quiet, but he was doing, you know, he's a great actor. You couldn't tell he was acting. What's interesting is, if you watch his son Scott, who on the show, Hawaii 50, yeah,
Starting point is 00:56:52 he's, it's just like his dad. He is? Oh, yeah, it's crazy. Were you on Hawaii 5? Scott's also a very nice guy, but, you know, it's his father. You act like your father, so it's pretty, if you watch him, it's, I mean, he's the same personality, same. Not exact same personality, but Scott's very nice.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I did that show too. But when you... But they talk very quiet. They're not... They're like very underplating it, which is like... I'll do it, ready? We'll do who's on first. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:22 And the James Con acting style is got ready. So, uh, who's on first? What? Yeah. Yeah, what's on the... What's on second? Mm-hmm. Who's on third?
Starting point is 00:57:39 I don't know. I don't know. I was on third. No, wow's the right feel. Bro, you got to snap. Dude, you're in too deep. Bro. I will end.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Hello. I will end you. Dude, you're in too deep. Oh. Johnny? You went in deep guy. But he spoke, you know, I don't know, you know.
Starting point is 00:58:10 I mean, so it was like no, no pushing, very subtle. Yeah. subtle. But that came from training and old school Hollywood, and did you find when you were in with those seasoned actors that it was different than when you, let's say, did a scene with Farley or David Spade?
Starting point is 00:58:29 Well, I thought they were all great. I mean, at the time the cast was unknown. You know, what's her name? Vanessa Marceal. Or Marceal, yeah, Vanessa. She'd done soapsed. And then Josh Duhammel, I don't know what he, I think he'd been on his soap.
Starting point is 00:58:44 but I thought he was great. He was a really nice guy, a really fine actor, and he was great, and I had a lot of fun. The whole three times. Reducer, writers, Gardner, everybody. Yeah, it was really fun. I was hoping they'd make me a regular, and then I'd end up owning the Montecito.
Starting point is 00:59:03 I go, wouldn't that be great? I go from committing suicide to becoming rich to, and then I said that James, kind of a billionaire. He wanted me to have that part, by the way. He did? Yeah, he said. He goes, I wish they had a cast. Yeah, and then I said, wouldn't it be funny if I came in your office and I go, guess what?
Starting point is 00:59:21 I bought the Monticito. Anyway, and I said, anyway, you're no longer head of security. Sorry, I had a security. He goes, what? He goes, yeah, follow me. And then I bring him up to the penthouse. You're the manager of the whole thing. You shouldn't be in this little office.
Starting point is 00:59:37 You have the whole floor. You know, and I give them a giant rate. And you're not making enough money. And I give you, you're going to save my life. Yeah. And he's like, God, I go, oh, you forget it. Here you go, you know. It's almost like a baiting, the old Jamescom bait and switch.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Tripling your salary and you're going to run the hotel. You're the head of the whole thing, operations. You're too smart to be just this. And you need a bigger office and I got your room and this and everything, you know, and I go. Wow. And I go, and anything you want, you let me know. You let me know. And none of that happened.
Starting point is 01:00:11 No, that had been funny. A guy that went from committing suicide to owning the hotel. Owning the whole thing. Within three months. But none of it happened. Like none of it. No. Like all that stuff you just said, not one thing of it happened.
Starting point is 01:00:24 And do you know why it didn't happen? Do you know why? Why? Because apparently there was some actor, quote, actor that was playing a security guard that was bad-mouthing me going, you know, I work with him. He's in trouble. He love it.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Yeah, he's funny. You know, he's a sketch player. He can't really. do acting. He can't do comedy. You should give me that part. Yeah. Yeah. And his name was yeah, you. Yeah, I'm not, I never read a secret about it. Nice try, buddy. I tried. Well, it worked. Okay, great, but we're still buddies. That's the great side. Like I badmouthed you, got you out of the show, and we're still friends after all that. And that's a testament to true friendship. When someone can blackmail you, blacklist you, badmouth you. But why would you,
Starting point is 01:01:12 I was always nice to you. I was just in a mood. I was in a mood that day. I thought, let me fuck with the love it. Let me do some career damage. It was just a passing mood. Would you like to say you're sorry now? I like to say I'm monopoly now
Starting point is 01:01:28 and have a game of monopoly with you later. Now, if you don't say you're sorry, I'm going to take this spoon and gouge out your heart. Sorry. I'm sorry, Johnny. Okay, that's all I have on here. Can I tell you a little behind-the-scene thing that happened with me and James Kahn? By the way, if you don't know what James Kahn is, he was one of the main actors in the Godfather movies.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Hello? He played Sunny. Okay? What was another one of his movies? Thief? Thief, Rollerball? Rollerball? Well, I said movies.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Misery with Kathy Bates? Misery! He's a great actor, great guy. So I'm sitting up... He's a tough guy. He's a tough guy. But not when this happened. He was like a six-degree black belt with weapons and karate.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Did you know that? But all that goes away when I tell this story. If you'll let me. Because it seems like you're not letting me. You're really pressing the air into your side and not letting eggplant Johnny get a shot. I'm doing a scene with them. We're waiting for them to set up.
Starting point is 01:02:37 He's the head of security. We're on set at the casino. He's sitting at his desk. I'm sitting there, we're just kind of sitting there looking at each other, and all of a sudden, James Kahn, Oscar winner possibly, he farts. And I just looked at it, did you just fart? And he goes, yeah. And I'm like, big actors, Oscar winner, actors don't fart?
Starting point is 01:03:04 It threw me for a loop guy. I think it caused a little like psychological trauma or something. Did he ever fart in front of you? No, but that's... That's not the real question. The real question is, what doesn't throw you for a loop? Oh, there's Daryl Hannah. Loop.
Starting point is 01:03:23 James Con farted. Loop. My dog out there. I just heard him clear his throat. Loop. I go to an air show. Loop. Loop.
Starting point is 01:03:35 D'loup. That's a loop to loop, though. So you kind of jumped the gun there. Did you ever hear the Mexican actress in the 30s? Loop. A. Velaise? No, what's his name? Lupe Veles.
Starting point is 01:03:50 A woman. Well, you didn't say that. A woman. Well, dude, you gotta give me details. I don't know these things. When you act with these big actors, because you were with Tommy Hanks and Big. Tom Hanks was with me.
Starting point is 01:04:14 In Big, I get on the set and Penny Marshall says, you can't improvise like you did in the last movie. You just got to say the lines. I go, but the lines are hardly any lines. Why am I here? So I go, I'll be subtly funny. And then in the scene with Tom,
Starting point is 01:04:28 where he's next to me, I was trying to make him laugh. And I did. What did you say? I just looked at him. Can you recreate that? Like, I'll pretend I'm him. Picture me as a 14-year-old boy.
Starting point is 01:04:41 I said, see that woman in a red dress? She'll wrap her legs around you so tight. You'll be begging for mercy. And he says, oh, I'll stay away from her. and then I just looked and went, could you do it funnier? I'm going to lunch. No, it was subtly funny.
Starting point is 01:04:56 I know, but I'll tell you, though. I think I missed it. Could you do it again? I'm trying to answer your question. If you could do it once more, I missed it. I'm trying to answer your question. It was so subtle, I missed it. It was too subtle.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Well, it's because you don't have any powers of observation. Well, then can you give it to me one more time? Just watch the movie. Just one more chance. Do the look. So I said, I'll wrap your legs around you, so tightly and then you did. No, I said that. And then you did, what was the look? You're doing it right now? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I tried to do your law. Oh, for God's sake. When I was on Saturday
Starting point is 01:05:34 night live, we acted with, yes, I was thrilled. People like Robert Mitchum, uh, Charlton Heston. You worked with Robert Mitchell? Yes. On what movie? William Shatner.

Starting point is 01:06:37 Oh, my gosh. That was very good. It was good, though, I always did that. Maybe if you'd done that on Vegas, it had hired you back. Whoa, power. You just power played me. Look at that ceiling.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Man, that's a lot of jizz. Oh, God, it's all over the ceiling. Wow, that's Cher's ass. Oh. That shares fat hanging. I told you I injected, I'm all out. Let me see if I can get a little more in the waddle. Just about out.

Well, we can describe it. Okay, go ahead. It's the most magnificent view, all joking aside, of Los Angeles I've ever seen.

Then you turn your head to the right again, and you see Culver City, and you see Century City, and then you turn your head to the right even more, and you see the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. It's the most spectacular view I've ever seen of any home in Los Angeles. I feel like I said it, not you.

Starting point is 01:13:26 Because we are. I feel like it makes us a little more macho. Because I'll tell you why. Why? Anybody can do drama, but not anybody can do comedy. And most comedians can do drama. I was going to say be straight, but then I'd have to leave you out. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:13:51 I think you know exactly what I mean. What are you implying? You imply and get that eggplant out of your ass. It's not appropriate for this show. not in my ass the hell it isn't don't put it don't

Starting point is 01:14:23 someone put an eggplant in their rectum acting as good as that I don't think so but I only see half of it sticking out so you kind of really did and it's disgusting that's not
Starting point is 01:14:35 acting and you actually did it. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you ready for our final segment? Yes. What are we going to talk about now? We do it with every single person. Is this even a joke? It's called Words from a Wooden Shoe.
Starting point is 01:14:54 This is a real authentic Dutch clog. Inside, random words. You pull one out and see if it triggers a story from your wonderful John Levin's journey. But this isn't a random shoe. It's a clog that you bought and
Starting point is 01:15:09 have in your house. I know, but it smells. All right. I picked a word. The word is three words. Friends, partner, lust. What? Oh, friends, partners lust. So,
Starting point is 01:15:36 have you ever lusted after one of your buddies's girls? Yes. Talk to me. Well, yeah. Oh, we hit us What did you do, Guy? Well, I didn't do anything because this person's my friend
Starting point is 01:15:59 And I felt horribly guilty But you said you didn't do anything No, I didn't But you were thinking it Well, yeah, I felt it And I go, this is just wrong Who's the friend?
Starting point is 01:16:15 But I couldn't help it Who's the friend? Arland. Arland, who? Wait, me? Yep. you what the fuck ow I didn't do anything
Starting point is 01:16:35 what did so you wait you were lusting after one of my women's no you know you already said it it wasn't you I'm not going to say who okay then tell us what the lusty thoughts were what were you thinking of doing to this ambiguous I'm not it doesn't I didn't do anything That's the voice. You sound guilty just the way you said that. Your arms are, your body language, your register went up. I didn't do anything. Guilty.
Starting point is 01:17:10 I felt guilty just feeling it. What were you thinking? Like third base or all the way, where are we talking intercourse? Oh, I think we are. Now you're looking down. Wow. You were thinking intercourse. Thinking everything, but I didn't do it. but you were thinking it. Just thinking it, I felt horribly guilty. Did you ever tell the friend? No, I didn't tell the friend. When they broke up,
Starting point is 01:17:52 when said friend broke up with said lusting woman, they're still together. So you're still thinking of plowing your friend's wife? No, that came out wrong. What are you thinking? No. Tell me. You said that.
Starting point is 01:18:11 But you're thinking it. No. What was that? I saw something. Are you thinking it or not? Everyone thinks things. Do you do anything? And the answer is no.
Starting point is 01:18:30 And I didn't say it was a wife. You did. So it's a husband. Will this help? No. The point is, I didn't do anything. But I felt guilty feeling that. Can you just for them?
Starting point is 01:18:49 Because this is a show, this is, can you tell us one of the acts you thought of? You don't have to tell all of, just one. Well, all right, but it's going to sound weird. Not to you, it wouldn't. No, not to me. In the ear. You wanted to have sexual relations in someone's ear.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Yeah. one of your friend's wives. You know all your friends watching right now are slowly deleting your name from their phone because they're like, it might be me. It wasn't a wife. It might be me. I go out of town to shoot a movie
Starting point is 01:19:25 and I come home and catch Loveitz in my bedroom with this double tattooed weiner in my wife's head in her ear. And we know wax is a great lube. It wasn't a wife. But I didn't do anything. Wasn't a wife. that's either it's a husband or a daughter.
Starting point is 01:19:45 I'm not going to say it. I'm just saying that I felt very guilty having those feelings. Okay, let's step outside of... But I'm sure I'm not the only person that... Most people act on it. But you didn't. No. So you're a good guy.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Yeah. Now let's step outside. Because you can't... You can't, it's wrong. You don't do that. You can't do it. Right. I agree with you.
Starting point is 01:20:17 This might be the first thing we agreed on the whole podcast. I would never do that, never. But did I feel it? Yes. So let's go outside of the guilt. Let's go outside of the said friend. Have you ever had coitus with the side of someone's head? Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:42 Okay. Who hasn't? Well, maybe a deaf person because they can't hear it coming. Wait, that sounded wrong. If you're getting plowed in the ear, you would hear it coming. This is what I remember, a woman saying to me once, Harlan never did that. Hmm?
Starting point is 01:21:04 Who? It was on first. Well, I don't know if she meant you or a different, Harland. Probably another. You know Colonel Saunders' name is Harland. Colonel Harlan Saunders. Could have been his wife. Was there?
Starting point is 01:21:17 Chicken skin. Did it smell like a family pack when they were done? Because if it was, it was probably him. You can't have an affair as the Colonel, Colonel Saunders, sneak into a man's bedroom, have sex with the wife. He comes home and doesn't smell that seven herbs and spices? I'll tell you the truth, since you're so persistent and won't stop asking. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:40 And you're not going to like what you're going to hear. But anyway, I met a woman, a husband, then I met the wife. wife, I didn't really know the husband that well. And then, but we'd hang out and the wife goes, you want to go to lunch, you want to go lunch? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He started hanging out with the wife all the time. One thing led to another.
Starting point is 01:22:04 And we, you know, whatever. And she got pregnant. You can have ear babies? No, you know, the regular way. I thought you fucked her in the air. And then she told me and I said, you know, she was, we got to stop. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:18 But it turns out that I'm pretty sure the, kid was mine. Where's the kid? Why are you looking at me like that? Oh my God. Mm-hmm. Father? Yep.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Da-da? I'm not even kidding. I'm not either. I should have known the minute you waddled at the minute you sat down. Oh my God. I didn't know until like a year ago. I found out it was you. Can I borrow the card in? like that?
Starting point is 01:22:54 No. You have your own car. I know, but I like yours better. Well, I figured, you know what? The man who raised you is your father. I am your biological father, but I am very proud of you, and you've done great,
Starting point is 01:23:05 and I don't want to mess it up. And you got, frankly, you got my talent. Didn't get my acting talent. But everything else. So I'm Jewish. Half. He's on third.
Starting point is 01:23:30 Half off. Who's on third? Half off. Who's on first? I don't know. It's on third. What's on second? Your wife?
Starting point is 01:23:39 See? Creepio? I mean, the reason you think so out of the weird and out of the boxes, you think like your father. And by the way, I knew you were going to ask that question earlier, and I knew it was going to lead to this. I don't know why you said. You go, Let's announce it in a weird way, John. It'll be kind of funny, but I don't want to just come out and go,
Starting point is 01:24:04 hey, John's my dad. We did it. The 23 and me, DNA, he's my dad. I don't feel comfortable calling you John anymore. I just want to say, dad. I'd never call my dad by his real first name. Well, there's a reason. Why?
Starting point is 01:24:17 He wasn't. Why do you think you called him by his first name, but now you want to call me dad? What do you mean? Yeah, there's a reason. I hope your dad doesn't listen to this, the man raised. you. It's very disrespectful.

Starting point is 01:25:24 You know, I never got into that comedians competing with each other. Yeah. It's so stupid to me because what are you doing, really? You're presenting your sense of humor to an audience. Yeah. So, you know, if people think you're funny, they do. And if they don't, they don't. What about with me? Am I in the don't department?
