So Dan Aykroyd being there right off the heels and he was doing like trading places and shit.
22:17Holy fuck.
22:19Dana Carvey:Dan Aykroyd, as everyone knows, is Canadian nice. He didn't have, He's never had an ego. Oh, right, sir. And I'd rather really look at haunted houses, to be honest. I mean, he's fascinated by UFOs, paranormal. So, anyway. I'm jealous of people. I am, too. But I'm not that interesting. But you want to be different than just showbiz, stupid stuff. Well, let's talk about the Oscars for a second and see if we can get a banger without being too mean. After our Oscars show. It's a lot of rules.

And, and then we had a song billionaire bus boys, billionaire bus boys, just like you and me, billionaire bus boys, billionaire bus boys. They are so carefree. They will clean your table when they're ready and able. Billionaire, billionaire, billionaire busboys Just like you and me Except they're billionaires So the idea is they have to be employed a certain amount To keep all their inheritance coming in Oh, that's kind of like Brewster's Millions Every few days they just get fired on purpose So someone's just eating their soup, posh restaurant You just sit in front of them and take the bus I don't think I'll take that Spoon up your ass They have to get fired, so they're slugging people and throwing chairs.
26:44So, yeah. That'll be the sequel. I might go out and try to be a busboy. By the way, Lovitz's back hurts, so I might have to go over there and nurse him today.
26:57Dana Carvey:Maybe I'll text him or call him. Give him a call. Check on him. Yeah, the back. He likes to golf and play tennis. You got to really keep your core on. I like to, but I can't. What? Jealous? jealous of my spasm? Yeah, I had an idea that maybe John, the character of John Lovitz will be part of our five hour energy segment today. Oh, really? Oh, let's do it. Just a tease.

27:55Dana Carvey:Take a slug. This is kind of like a movie set where Owen Wilson plays plays the babysitter of John Lovett, who plays himself as a three-year-old. And then there's a surprise guest. I'll try to make it simple. All right. Sure. Owen Wilson. Everyone silent, please. Sorry, little buddy, you can't have another donut. Why not? I want another donut. Jealous? I promised your parents I wouldn't give you more than one donut. I can't do it, buddy. I said, give me a donut. Wait a minute. Who are you? I'm Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. Perfect. Maybe you can help me with this baby, John Lovett. You know, I'm not supposed to give him another donut.
28:57Dana Carvey:That's a good plan. What do you think I should do? I can think of worse things than giving that little fella a donut. And I think there's nothing wrong with giving a little kid a second donut. He'll remember it the rest of his life. Exactly, Brad Pitt. So give me a donut. I think it was a pretty good scene. Should we do it again, Woody? No, I think we got it. It's great. No, you're terrific. But maybe we'll release it. It'll be an opener for bus boys Trying to go full circle I've got good news Brad Pitt I pooped my diaper
29:44Dana Carvey:I'm so jealous you have that I'll get you one No I have That's right John should have gone more scatological Because he does like that I have a full diaper Jealous Oh fuck Heather I ran out of batteries I was going to go Beep beep beep beep beep This piece of shit Did you do that They said it would last 5 ,000 years Five hours Taking this out of my doomsday fucking basement My doomsday basement I have a box you know In case everything goes wrong It's A rat bag with cashews and raisins and five headshots. I don't know if I need those, but just to make sure people know I'm famous if there's a bunch of rubble.
30:38Dana Carvey:If there's a, yeah, it's kind of like... Please help me first. Would you potentially be like Burgess Meredith in this scenario? You gotta help me rock because these rocks are gonna hurt me poignant.
30:54Dana Carvey:Just so people know, he's doing Burgess Meredith, this famous actor for a hundred years who was playing the rough and tumble Brooklyn kind of coach, a trainer to Sylvester Stallone and Rocky. He's planning it to a very sophisticated 1962 black and white twilight zone where he plays someone who survives a nuclear Holocaust and wants to read books. Just so that, just so it makes sense. He was always worried about Rocky and he likes, and he's more tough love. If you look, if you watch the movies carefully, He does like Rocky He's very tough on him And he goes I'm gonna fight Mr. T And he goes Are you kidding me K's gonna hoit you He's gonna hoit you Permanent Permanent Yeah permanent But he says poignant every time You know I don't know Just do it I told you His brain is good He's cleared to fight He got scrambled eggs I mean basically in the first movie, he led with his face.
31:59Dana Carvey:Instead of the normally part, keep hitting me until you're tired. It was, hey, yo, hey, and he's all swollen, hey, yo, Adrian! That's pretty good. Adrian! And she fell in love with him right at that moment. Adrian was like the most supportive wife. You can't win! I was like, oh, thanks, Adrian. And then after he wins, she's like, you shouldn't have win. It should have been a decision for him. I'm like, Adrian. How much money do you have on this? Hey, Adrian, I put on the sunglasses with my eyes and it's still swollen. Where's Butkus? Hey, Adrian. Is that the turtle or the dog? Hey, Adrian. Ring, ring, ring, ring.
32:46Dana Carvey:Yeah, this is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh, boy. I could do a fight picture, too. I could take punishment with my face. Hey, Adrian. I'm sorry. Yeah, I know. It's okay. Yeah. It's okay. So you're going on vacation to Mexico? Yeah. Yeah.
33:09Dana Carvey:Anyway, I'm a huge fan of both those guys. Stallone and Schwarzenegger, greatest movie stars. I like that you add that at the end. I know in case people go, I'm not doing Sylvester Stallone. I'm exaggerating the character of Rocky when he got his face smashed by Apollo Creed. Mick, he's got cinder blocks in his gloves. Now you gotta work around these challenges. Yeah, the guy was kind of negative. He's gonna moiety your permanent. His hands are like blocks of concrete. He's twice as big as you. Where's the bad part, Paulie?

36:24Dana Carvey:Your words, not mine. Now, we did a 12-minute buzzing around. Yeah, that was one. Is that the way it's supposed to go? All right, here he is. Is this supposed to be split screen? Let me see. Yeah, look at that blue line right where we have to see. Okay. Okay. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay, Mississippi. Okay, you know about NIL and all this. Of course. Name image like this. So Mississippi is pulling a fast one and saying they pass a no tax on NIL money. It helps Ole Miss and Mississippi State, of course. Look at it. It says at the bottom, a teacher taxed, police taxed, healthcare worker, third string cornerback tax free.
37:03So they can say, come here. Wow. We'll not only give you a couple million to play in college, we won't tax you.
37:10Dana Carvey:that's uh i i assume they'll win every game the rest of the scales because you're gonna if you get a three million dollar offer from california and you get you know the worst taxes in the country then you go i can go to old miss i know keep all my money i mean that crazy that is the problem i mean he was i guess he senator john kennedy was having lunch with uh gavin newsom Now, it get me wrong, but the thing you have to remember is that you are competing for talent on all levels from 50 other states. Yeah. Did I make myself clear? Now, you want to tax the shit out of people. Sorry, pardon my French.
37:52Dana Carvey:And do you think that'll make them come to your state and work there? Is 50 the right amount of states? Is that number the states? Yeah. But that's smart. Some guy came out of a swamp. Said, I got an idea. Yeah, that's a good idea. We ain't going to tax NIL anymore. Mississippi today was reported to be the highest per capita earning state in the nation. That was Tom Brokaw. Yeah, every kid there is going to make so much money. It is a smart move, and they pass it right away because there's not much going on. So they're just like, hey, this is how we can draw in and have a killer team. Do people understand when NIL came in and what it means?
38:35Dana Carvey:Is that common knowledge name? Oh, to people? You can be in college and get paid doing Instagram and promoting and commercials. You can get paid. You know what's funny is they name it image and likeness, but really it's just been, we'll just pay you to come here. And so we can use your name, image, and likeness. but that's very secondary it seems because it's really just like a draft like every year you can just switch schools i think you can switch during but switch around but to put it this way when i was growing up if you like the coach gets 10 million the stadium is full of 80 000 people paying they got concessions i mean it's a billions and billions of billions and dollars and these guys playing football and they're getting paid zero and they could get an injury and then that's it so it'd be like you know i don't i don't know if i'm coming back for my senior year i can't feel my feet it's like varsity blues yeah well i think that's true and so people said they should get paid this feels like it was an overcorrection well maybe it was an overcorrection the the gymnast who's now on baywatch i'm sorry her name is um olivia dunn olivia dunn seems like a very nice sweet young woman and she has been very smart and clever and she was a really great gymnast or is with leveraging that into a career so props to her right she gets millions to do what she does so whoops i mean you know the fact that i look the way i look in a um in a speedo yeah you know gerbit said yeah with your body you should be on bay watch you'd be a little bit older but you still be cut i will tell you that that that open casting call was a long day for me and then i never got i never heard anything from what's so funny is i'm doing the craziest this shit on one side and I see you kind of like, I hear you doing gervets and I'm going, I'm doing stuff I can't see anymore and you're like, um.
40:47Let me go over some documents here. I'm listening to you going,
40:53Dana Carvey:I can't commit harder. I was saying, I added on an addendum that I auditioned for Baywatch. I went to the 12 hour casting call on Santa Monica Beach and along with everyone else. And I didn't get even a callback. Yeah. I was, I, I tested for sort of an R rated comedy called Bay Slut and I didn't get it. No, that's too bad. I went in and I said, they said, let's see you in your Speedo. I go, they go, I see you have a photo of you in your Speedo and a photo of you without your Speedo. And I go, yeah, that one's for you. and they go it's not really what we're looking for yeah I had kind of an oversized speedo it's called a slow dough and it's just a little roomier yeah keep some room so things can jostle
41:58Dana Carvey:I want to be more insane and have you look down I go And then you go okay I'm sending you one of these So you can gift me with this I like it I gotta find one It's two dollars on Amazon Alright That's two dollars too many Okay let's go to another story Do we have any other stories We literally have one story Okay I'm fine Okay stand up comedian recently diagnosed with terminal cancer travels thousands of miles to try to kill his ex-wife as his last dying act murders oh he did kill her this is in Arizona no Anchorage stand-up comedian recently diagnosed with terminal cancer where does this stand-up comedy part come in it's not that funny I don't know but a stand-up comedian does this Wow, it's giving us a bad name.
