In short

David Spade recounts a travel-and-work disaster (neck injury after a phone call setup), then the hosts riff on movies, editing/ratings, viral clips (cash-on-table experiment, “booty sniffer” caught on camera, charity/fire-aid money reaching NGOs), and audience-style questions about quitting show business.

Guests

Dana Carvey (host; comedian/actor; David’s longtime friend) and David Spade (comedian/actor; SNL alumnus; later TV/film work; discusses stand-up and acting career).

Key claims

Spade says he “flew coach” but was bumped from first-class access; during a Jacksonville Hall of Fame fundraiser phone call, his neck was injured when he fell after yanking a desk drawer; PT with Dr. Jenna treated C4–C12. He argues tone consistency and editing can make or break comedy; “airplane” edits can water down R-rated material. He claims some fire-aid funds didn’t reach victims directly.

Notable examples

Tombstone (Val Kilmer “huckleberry/huckle bearer”); Wayne’s World box-office comparisons; PCU “airplane” versions; the “booty sniffer” serial offender video; the cash-on-table clip; the Altadena fire-aid/NGO distribution story; a NYC bike-lane clip blocking a garbage truck.

0:00Dana, you'll never believe what happened to me on the road. Okay.

0:04Dana Carvey:A lot of stuff happens to you. So what are you talking about? I mean, you just won't believe it. It's too much. So, okay. Well, my brain goes to, is this something dire? Something fantastic? Something giggy? Great audience? You know, what's the list of what it could be? Cold, cold, cold.

0:29Dana Carvey:well welcome you're not getting any warmer fella give me something yeah oh dana you you know you know i'm out there and i'm

1:08Dana Carvey:in a minute I'm going to um show you um a billboard I'm going to show the audience which kind of a sort of about our friendship. I'll show it in one minute. I'll hang in there for that. So, but first, now that we're at 315, what do you got? You flew coach? I flew coach, but they have a way of showing you it's not coach. Look at this. So here I am in coach roughing the shit out of me. No, coach is fine. I don't mind it. I got a neck thing. So if I sit up straight, I'm fine with it. Anyway, they put this little four inch thing. I go, this cannot be what you have to separate. It used to be a curtain.

1:54Remember they go. Oh yeah. They go, hey, sorry, this is first class. Don't try to, don't try. You're not coming up here. I know.

2:06Dana Carvey:And you know, every once in a while you're up there and someone wanders through the curtain and it's like a major deed. No, you must not be yet. Oh no, no, no, no. And they have a baby and they're trying to use the first class bathroom. I go, let him in, let it in. And they're like, no. I know someone that says, I always fly coach. I walk up to first to take a dump. I'm like, no, you cannot. No. You cannot. You cannot. But I went up there just to, anyway, the flight was okay. What I'm getting at is my precious neck. I get to New York. It's fun in New York. I'll show you a video I took. I'm a bit of a street influencer.

2:46Dana Carvey:And I feel like I'm part of the audience right now. I've got videos. I've got stories. Are you going to juggle? I want to shut the fuck up. Okay. Well, I was doing a phoner. For those of you at home, a phoner is when you call in at a gig. You have to do it for most gigs just to make the city aware you're there. So I said, I'll do a phoner for Jacksonville. It was sort of a fundraiser. it was a gala for the Jacksonville hall of fame. Okay. They had Jim Furyk. They had a, that's a golfer and they had some people there. Oh yeah. Super, super fun little show. So I'm doing this phoner to the local zoo crew of, you know, Jacksonville.

3:27And then I have these stupid things on that I hate their guts. These things that stick in your ears. Yeah. And with my precious, so I wake up neck trouble already. Boop. But I don't have a show that night. I just have this phoner. I'm going to go do a set. at the stand later in New York. So the story is fucking riveting. It's riveting, right? So far. Don't go anywhere. No one at home. Pull over, skip work. So I have, if you can't watch me, I have a headset in on the phone. It quietly, there's a drawer in my desk. I'm sitting there. It's under, hooking under the drawer like this. You know what's coming.

4:08My neck hurts so bad in my middle of my hysterical interview. I get up to walk somewhere else, yanks on the drawer, yanks me down, snaps me. Oh, I fall. I land on the ground. I've fallen. And I'm pretty sure I can't get up. And these are popped out. My neck, C4 through 12 is like. And now I'm on the ground like this. And I hear, it's a zoo crew. He's still there. And I'm like this. Flatlining. It's fucking horrible. Yeah. And I'm like this, and they hear me like this, Oh, just noises. And then I go, uh, uh, then I get my bearings and I'm like this plugin plugin phone, stand up. And I'm like, hello.

4:57And they're like, David will be at the Jacksonville igloo tonight. They're still talking. I'm like, so.

5:04Dana Carvey:Tommy and the bull in here with Joe Dirt himself, David. Hey, partner. Yeah. Yeah. blacked out for a second. You all right there. You need a little. I like that. Yeah. And I'm literally full concussions. Neck snap. Now my headache's worse. And I'm like, and, and anyway, that was pretty much long and short of it, but I didn't like it. And then I got home and I got my PT, Dr. Jenna, who ripped me apart yesterday in my neck. I'm like, and I'm like, I have to work tomorrow, which is this, whatever we do. I have to work. she's like what your stupid podcast i'm like oh what did you say i know well i had similar problems like the remote wasn't working because i'm gonna watch it i was like i was gonna i was like and it wasn't working at all so then i shook it maybe the battery i opened up the thing to see if the batteries needed batteries.

6:04Dana Carvey:And I put in two new batteries. And I was watching the show and I was in a rocker and I went. Yeah, did you get hurt? I'm still in the act out. That's rocking. Going backward. Hello, darkness, my old rocker. Yeah. And then I grabbed the headphones and I reeled myself in. Like this? I'm just inspired by your sound. Jurassic Park. I'm inspired that your whole life has this soundtrack. I know. It just helps the story move along. I mean, it's funny random sound effects. Like, hey, how are you? I'll tell you one more thing. I went to dinner. And here's, you might not get this because you go to all.

6:57Dana Carvey:I don't go to dinner. You go to fancier restaurants all the time. I make dinner. Go ahead. You eat Din T. Moore beef stew out of your doomsday shelter. Well, there is a bit of doomsday shelter-ness around my environment. Dude, there's a story we're going to get to that involves you. I'm going to bring you up. Okay. And I still have this. So the quick story is the waiter's like this. So I get to the nice dinner. I go to take a bite. And the waiter goes, is everything tasting deliciously over here? and then I got to go. Oh, yep. Yep. So far. And then they come back three seconds later. They say something funny.

7:39She goes, Oh yeah. See, I think as everything scrumptious after the first bite, they have new ways of positioning it.

7:46Dana Carvey:I haven't heard that one. Yeah. That's a little pushy. It's a little pushy. Three bites of a tuna tartare later. He's like, that's one of our favorite things here. Are your taste buds jizzing all over your mouth yet? And I go, that one, that one feels like. That seems a bit. I haven't heard that one. I know. Have you ever had this one? Like they're like, oh, open up the mouth. Open up your mouth. Here comes Mr. Caboose. And they have a spoon and they start spoon feeding you Napoleon ice cream. And then I go like this. He goes, you're almost there. And then he pulls his wiener out. Dana I have to say wiener because someone made a pie chart of our podcast and it says the chunk where David says wiener and it's like 44 % of the pie chart you get a wiener and I'm surprised it's that low I think you you put you get a wiener and you don't pull it out but you get the vernacular in the podcast I'd say more like 76 % oh my god what do I say all the time like hey buddy I must What is it on his chart?

8:50What does he say? I don't have it. I don't say - People in the comments really like to go. No, I would say 97 % positive in the comments, which is very nice.

9:01Dana Carvey:I'll tell people who, first of all, watch us and like us. Thank you, first of all. Yeah. But you do this for long enough. You're kind of like, and all of a sudden, a story comes into your head. And halfway through it, you realize you told that same story 60 episodes ago. We told that between Tom Hanks and Sheryl Crow. And your brain is going. Just say it anywhere. This was doing fireworks. Oh, yeah. Let me see if I can get it. Half hour ago. What the freak? Wait. We get our screen to make fireworks. But we did it by accident and then I did it. Damn it. Life is disappointing sometimes, but we'll get to it.

9:50Well, the last thing I'll tell you, this relates to you, but it's really about me, is I position it like it's about you. I like it. You're very excited because they're doing a spinoff to one of your favorite movies.

10:04Dana Carvey:Oh, 2000. No, we are in 2010. I mean, Happy Gilmore. Oh. No, not Hal. Not Hal. No, no, no. That's my friend Tony Hopkins, right? Nope. Nope. It's this. Well, I'm going to have to fight you, Bruce Lee. However you do that. Oh, okay. They're doing like the character of Brad Pitt, Cliff Booth, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's a good plan. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. Beats up Bruce Lee. Remember that? Once upon a time in Hollywood. You're kind of a pretty false stuntman. So here's a picture He's shooting it right now Oh that's him so retro They got a retro wig on him on this one Yeah is he playing me That's not you and that's not Heather They're doing Joe Dirt 2 starring Brad Pitt That's funny He's kind of got sideburns too No I guess in the show They're trying to de-age him back to the Well in the show it was the 60s So I don't really understand Well, did he have this look in the movie?

11:12Dana Carvey:No, no, he didn't have long hair Not longish hair like this Can we show a picture of him? It looks like Isa Gonzalez with him But it probably isn't That might be early 70s People like my dad hated the goddamn long hairs You know, and he would shave our heads These goddamn long hairs And then by 75 He had hair over his ears They adapt later So maybe that's Pitt in the 70s Do you think, I think he's playing a Hollywood fixer. Yeah. See there he's kind of Steve McQueen. Oh, it's more Cone. Steve McQueen. And it's, you see his ear. He's not doing the bouffant. So. I guess he has to have a little different, but I think he's got a wig because from this thing I saw on this story about, he's playing kind of a Hollywood fixer back in the day.

11:59That makes sense with his skill set. Which is interesting. Yeah. I think it's a good idea. Probably to make money. You're a stuntman. It's like, what do you do? And maybe he got old, too old to do stunts. He's out there beating people up and shit.

12:10Dana Carvey:Well, in the other movie, he wasn't getting stunt work because he's too much of a hothead. You know, he beat up Bruce Lee. So then he was the gopher. Hey, man, I'm your gopher. And I like when you're out of town, out of house sitting up there in the Hollywood Hills. Let's face it. I haven't worked as a stunt man in a long time. The way I look at it is a lot of things worse than going to Italy and making some spaghetti westerns. I don't want to go do a goddamn spaghetti western. How many have you seen? One Two Come on man Yeah Sorry I liked the movie Saw it 11 times Of course he's great The only thing is The director's really good But I don't think it's Quentin It's David Fincher Right But That's great though Quentin We're on first name basis He is a great director We should have Quentin on I don't know why we don't Why don't we Why don't you want him I When I hosted for Jimmy Kimmel I said they said who do you want I said can I get Quentin Tarantino and they said yes but I was I wanted to talk to him like on a podcast yeah you know it's all these commercial breaks and I was doing impressions of people in the movie I don't know but yeah I am a huge fan of his work we'll put out some feelers yeah we'll talk to his team your team talk to your team first speaking of movies this This is Tombstone with Val Kilmer.

13:38Dana Carvey:Can you read that? I love it. If I thought you weren't my friend, I just don't think I could bear it. So he plays Doc Holliday in this movie so brilliantly. You know, you be my Huckleberry. Whoa, if I thought you weren't my friend, I just don't think I could bear it. I love that movie. It's almost Jimmy Stewart. But this movie is incredible. Is that the one with Kurt Russell? Yeah. Because there's two. Kurt Russell. I think he does too, but Tombstone had Kurt Russell and it had Billy Bob Thornton when he was kind of chubby, plays a guy who Kurt Russell threatens in a bar. It's just great Western.

14:17Dana Carvey:And Val Kilmer is brilliant in it. His famous line I had wrong. Did you know this? His famous line I had wrong. I'll be your huckle bearer. Oh, really? I thought it was, I'll be your huckle bear. Huckleberry. Wow. Wow. If I thought we weren't friends, I don't think I'll go bad. I haven't seen the movie lately. My impression is a little wobbly. Well, I used to say I'll be your Huckleberry because he says it to a guy. Yeah. Kind of a flirty, like crazy person. They're going to go to a gunfight and try to kill each other. And it's all kind of feminine and like a high school dance. I'll be your Huckleberry.

14:53it but what it is is it's huckle bearer because that's what they called the pallbearers to carry

15:01Dana Carvey:the guy's coffin god that's amazing i've seen the movie at least five times so he it's so cool because he goes i'll be your huckleberry like i'll be one of the guys that'll carry your coffin when i kill you i'll be a huckleberry like i'll do you a favor when i kill you i'll be one of the guys that carries your coffee that's inside baseball man that's cool isn't that cool because i did not know that his accent was so dense that you just couldn't tell huh he looked like a stud cool cool cool but um really good and i'm looking forward to that cliff booth one that a quick hollywood story kind of fun so i'm doing a movie with nicholas cage and john lovitz trapped in paradise it's a it's a holiday treat no it was it was but anyway this movie tombstone is out at that time, you know, and Kurt Russell is threatening Billy Bob Thornton.

15:49Dana Carvey:Like I just mentioned the bar scene and he says, and Kurt Russell goes, you know, instead of saying, you're going to draw a gun on me, you're going to throw down boy, you're going to throw down. So that became a big running phrase between me and Nicolas Cage. If he thought I did good in a scene, he goes, oh, you threw down, man. That was, that was that. I like it. um and when does that come out uh 2081 trapped in paradise it had a lot of potential john lovitz nicholas cage and i but it's that's a whole podcast we'll bring in nicholas cage and talk and john and bring and talk about the movie eight podcast series were you ever in a stinker yeah of course i mean you don't plan to be but sometimes well movies are hard to make they're The worst part is it's hard to make the bad ones.

16:46It's still the long hours. You still have hope. You just don't know. Sometimes when you're shooting, you go, this isn't coming out like we thought. I mean, you can just tell and you go, but maybe with editing and add some funny noises and some sound and some song. There's only so much you can gussy up a pig. You can't really put much stick on it.

17:05Dana Carvey:Well, let me do a little bit inside baseball. That's twice I've mentioned on this podcast. And it's not baseball. Is that in the early 90s and 80s, some of those big classic comedies, we did not have digital film. So to make an edit, you would go and the film would be like this giant size of a tire and you'd spool it, go like that. To make an edit was a big deal. Then it was like. So I did a scene in Trapped in Paradise. I'm playing kind of a Mickey Rourke kid who's not too bright. And he's up in front of the parole officers and he gets a jawbreaker in his mouth right as they ask him a question.

17:42Dana Carvey:Yeah. So I took like I made a meal out of it, but it was hysterical in a held shot. But then I saw the edit. I was like, put the jawbreaker in and then I spit it out. It's like, boom, boom. Oh, yeah. You went for that. Editing is big in movies. It could take a comedy scene and make it unfunny. Oh, let me see. A movie that I did that thought it was okay, but ended up doing great. Well, you know, there's movies like PCU where we shot that. You might not remember this one, but it was Politically Correct University. I remember it. Yeah, I don't know if I saw it, but I remember the title. I think about it a lot now, and it comes up like on Twitter, because PCU in this day and age is almost the same movie.

18:25It holds up as far as there's different factions. There's people that are offended by everything. There's this and that. So, of course, I play the bad guy. But that one was – the funny thing about that one is it didn't do blockbuster, but it was pretty good and it hung in there over time. But Jeremy Piven, me, Jon Favreau, there's a lot of fun people in it. But when we did it, it was an R-rated movie. And I've never had that happen. So, I think that's the one where I go, open the door, fucko, when I'm looking in the door for something. And then they go, when you go in there and do the takes on the set, the last take, they say, let's do one for the airplanes.

19:08Basically for cable, airplanes, when they can't air an R-rated movie. Yeah. So what did you say? So no one even cares about this. I go, open up steakhead. Right? Whatever. That's funny. Because it's stupid and funny and like whatever. So you always do a PG airline version if you swear. and it sort of waters down but it's they need it for whatever to sell it so anyway the movie comes

19:34Dana Carvey:out is a great director i mean didn't he was not the director he was in the movie oh he's he's a great actor too yeah elf i think but anyway for me it's it's you know the the shocking thing was wayne's world for even my both mike and i that it became this global smash i mean i just thought we thought it'd be pretty good you know it's kind of funny you know i had no expectations it would take off so yeah pcu didn't really quite take off like that what year was pcu it was probably my third year of snl something like that and uh so in the i only did like three weeks on it yeah it was probably the end of the 90s and uh you know they released it when i saw it on the poster i think that's the one maybe it was senseless but and they released it as a pg-13 So they kind of rat fucked us.

20:21They used every airplane version of every take. And so I'm like, you didn't even try on those things. Yeah. So it's okay. But when you go from an R-rated movie to really watering, you go, oh, this is a different. Because we had Animal House. We had those movies we're trying to be like. And then you tamp it down. It's like.

20:40Dana Carvey:It's, you know, it's tough, you know, consistency of tone. I mean, if there's four or five directors, kind of, it can get a little messy, like each one. We should do this. We should do that. When you watch a movie, you know, we watch movies. Everyone does. Amazon Prime or Netflix. And you're watching a movie, it's three minutes. You go, what am I watching here? I mean, what's... And the good ones just grab you. I don't know. It's storytelling, I guess. It's storytelling by committee. And sometimes there's not a clear vision and it sort of gets... Turns into everybody's movie. That's how movies get kind of ruined.

21:14Yeah. Anyway, let's get this to the story.

21:17Dana Carvey:This is me when I heard the box office gross from Wayne's World 1. What is it? The opening weekend?

21:28Let me see if I can find one for you, too. This will take me too long.

21:36You're still going?

Read the full transcript

21:38Dana Carvey:No, you inspired me. I like it. I got one for you. Okay. When it came out, you went like this. It's too much to live. Let me hear that. That was you. You got a boner. Okay. Oh, I got another one. This is funny. Here's me when it didn't do as good as Wayne's World.

22:05Here's... Oh, wait. I already did that one. Here's... No, I'm not doing that one.

22:12Dana Carvey:I'm not going to be left out of this game. I've got an iPhone who could say something. Here's Dana after I accidentally squeak out a toot. No, wait, hang on. Wrong one. No, hang on. Here's me when I toot. Dana likes it. Why are you breathing in my toot? Dana. Don't try to find a soundboard and fight back. What? Here's Dana when Range World worked That was pretty good Hold on Challenge, watch the full hour and post it What does that mean? This is when Joe Dirt came out The audience

23:01That's everyone brought their baby That's after Joe Dirt The audience just ran out They ran out crying and everyone and their baby was crying All right, that's fair. I don't like this game anymore. It turned on me now. Well, now I've got a new toy. I love it. It's so fun. I'll send you this thing and you can fight back. All right, but the baby thing is - All right, let's play a clip of something. Yeah, let's do the clip because we got a big day ahead of us. A million things going. Yeah. Okay. Oh, this is interesting. A Chinese company piled 11 million in cash on a table and employees could take as much as they wanted.

23:39Is it a video? See that, Cash? Well, that's going to create violence. I mean, we'll see how polite they are. Beep, beep, beep, beep. Oh, they never pull the trigger. Okay, so A, I'd like to be more toward the front.

24:02Dana Carvey:Oh, you think there's more money in the front? Because I'm grubby. No, I'm saying in the front row so I can grab. But how much would you take? Well, it depends. I mean, we're not going to see the melee that's going to happen. Are they going to, is there a number system? I wanted them to show. They don't show it, I guess. Well, then you, what would I take? If it's free? Don't say 11 million. Do not. No, I would take as much as I could. Now, what would I take? And if I counted it and it wasn't what I hoped it was, you know, I would just be.

24:36Dana Carvey:Oh my God. He does it again. sorry but a quick one okay oh there's footage i'm taking let's go back all right let's we need to see the footage to have an opinion um i don't know if it's right there let's try it the comment says i like the u.s would give everyone a slice of pizza and a 15 cent raise show these guys fight um why in the comments it says that they all grabbed oh i would think like i think in japan they're so disciplined that people would be embarrassed to take more than a little there is a culture in japan japan so that was japan yeah no that was china so i don't know No, I think I'm saying, I think Japanese are sort of very like honorable.

25:32Like I wouldn't, I'd be embarrassed to take too much. Yes.

25:36Dana Carvey:Yeah. Maybe Chinese like that. That's my impression. I have not been to Tokyo. I have not been there in so long. In so long. But I do know, I knew someone who lived there and yeah, it's very, very polite until it's not polite. Oh, because that one, if that was at like the mall of a hotel, america that would be a melee how yeah just picture that you just go to your work what do you guys think you deserve i wouldn't i like movies where the bad guys are getting away and they've got all the cash in the suitcase and then it breaks and then it just flies right at the end all in the street or it drops out of a helicopter and i'm like

26:21these are the people

26:24Dana Carvey:Yeah Oinking it up Have you said wiener? Yeah you have said wiener I have too much Now I want to make sure it's every episode Okay alright I remember this story Is this about this guy's ears? Okay accused serial booty sniffer Oh he's back again in Burbank? That's close to us That guy was on Star Trek Deep Space Nine I think As Colonel Buckner Alright Are they playing this? Is there any video? It's just a... Oh. Oh, look, there he is in action. I definitely didn't expect him to do... Like, what the actual... He's digging in there. I'm fine because he hasn't said anything or touched me or anything.

27:08But then you notice that he goes over and does the same thing to this girl. And he'll crouch down low and pretend like he's doing something. I think this is produced. But he got popped. Well, who's on camera?

27:22Dana Carvey:Who's on camera? She's filming herself. Because this has happened moments before. Either that or she's just like everyone else, just filming herself doing nothing. Yeah. Well, first of all, what's weird about it? It's my first question. Secondarily. Oh, what's weird about it? Yeah. I like he goes for two, her and the other girl. Men and their hormones and their sex drive. I don't know why women put up with this. It is really embarrassing as part of the male species. Hey, where's that Shakespeare book? No, it's not over here. What sound effect can't you do? Well, that's just sniffing. That's for amateurs.

28:03Here's a dog sniffing you, and then they get tired of it.

28:10Dana Carvey:Here's a cat looking at a picture of you. And then decides to eat the photo. and then is really happy and full and goes there you go and then they throw up a furball

28:28I give you cues

28:31Dana Carvey:you're directing me now but I have that character sound effect that I do in my stand-up sometimes that's the first 40 minutes of your stand-up now it's a funny character because every effect is the same thing he just calls out what he's doing you know mm-hmm mm-hmm all right let's go next story big stories out there okay let's read it breaking news 100 million dollar fire aid funds never reach victims 12 non-profits got the cash instead whoa whoa whoa what this is such a drag they do this big benefit for fire aid you know because all the fires in Altadena how's it really is this real they stole the money from well they didn't steal it they gave it to NGOs which I don't even know what they are and Non-governmental organization.

29:17Dana Carvey:Organization, yeah. So they give them to those saying, it says on the fire rate, this goes directly to the victim. But they give it to all these and say, you guys give it or do what you feel. And some of those were sketch. You can go online and look at any charity you want to give money to, and you can find out what they take in and what actually reaches the people who are trying to help. And sometimes the expenses, the differential is enormous. malls so yeah sometimes seven percent gets to the people and that's when you go that's when you go because they have all this overhead and stuff and yeah it's too bad around here because no one's getting um i don't think anyone's got anything yet yeah and they're they're divvying it out it's like one for you one for me yeah what two for you five for me three for you ten for me hey wait a minute seems like you're getting more what do you want me to do write you a fucking check.

30:13Dana Carvey:11 for me. Save for you. It's, we'll monitor that story, Dana. That's the cool thing about, we're turning into action news. Yeah, we're action news. Spade Carvey, action news. Oh, wait, dog moves, oh, this is, dog moves a security camera, so he can eat food off the table. If this is real, it's too smart. Dog sees food, dog sees food, Oh, I like this music. He looks at the camera.

30:49He moves it over. You can turn the music down a little bit. So the cat sees that he's getting away with it. This fucking cat is unreal. Cat comes up.

31:02Dana Carvey:Well, this can't be real. So the cat is fixing the camera so the dog will get in trouble? Yeah, it's a funny bit, but it's not true. But it is a very funny bit. Heather, can cats do that? I'm going to look at my cat cam. Oh, she's looking at her cat cam. That just reminded me. She's taking care of a cat. She's going to check that. It could be. Cats are very smart. Cats are very smart. They're very smart. They don't always do these tricks, but I heard they don't like dogs. I see it in cartoons. Well, sometimes they meow, and now with AI, we can slow down their meows, and it actually sounds like English.

31:37Dana Carvey:So, hey, Frisky, did you move the camera? yes yes i moved it so bisco wow would get in trouble but all you before ai all you heard was meow meow meow meow meow there's something to say to a cat to make them come over yeah you go to a cat and they stop what they're doing and walk over we'll video it and then we'll play it on the next show here's another story here's a logger oh they have to cut this and try to smash a can so see that log now look at the end of it, that can they missed it what did they do wrong? oh they're cutting it in a way that it'll fall the way they want it'll fall and they want it to nail see that can on the bottom right?

32:26yeah the first guy I guess missed it he's using his felling sights whatever that means falling sights right? No, they said Felling. Okay. So he's so far, from my point of view, he's doing good. Oh, it's going to go too far this way. Nope. Get it right, Jack. Come on, Lundgren, Jack. Get it right, Jack. Taking a lot of time, Jack. These usually hit houses in these scenarios. No, he's got to do a little on the back.

33:06Dana Carvey:Okay, that's what he's trying to hit Yeah His little circle Okay Good luck Anytime, come on, buddy Yeah, we're ready, guy That's good We got an hour show Yeah Okay Oh, he got it Oh, it's like a Logger League competition That's going to be a Marvel movie Where was that film? A quarter mile from your house? Welcome to Logger League We got buzz saws up here We got all kinds of stuff I know Dana, are you a bit of a logger? I am I came from logging country Big timber Montana Oh yeah, you're from Montana Okay, let's do one more We gotta get out of here We gotta get a question too Okay, this is frustrating This is not my video from New York We'll show next week But this is Only New York A whole video okay a whole garbage truck blocked by one guy well this guy's in the bike lane so he can be there but he's blocking everyone I just don't understand why people do this this is not the first time I see this in New York garbage truck is trying to do its job pick up the garbage but this guy on the bicycle is so selfish crazy I'd freak out They're just trying to do their job.

34:31Dana Carvey:Like, move out of the way. This guy is... It would have been so frustrating for me if I would have been doing this job. Like, you could just go on the sidewalk or just move along. Why do you have to stand there? Fly on the wall? It seems like he's doing it on purpose. Maybe he's looking at my Jodert, Morgan Wong walkout. Well, yeah, he's strolling through our clips for this podcast, so... He's a little absorbed. Does he move? The guy told him... Does he move now? Come on, guy. The guy told him... Nope He's still not moving Why is he being so defiant? We gotta get him on this podcast Because that's bad manners You know what?

35:10This would be a bad manners corner

35:12Dana Carvey:I mean, yeah, what a dick What would Miss Rachel say? Mm-hmm But, you know, he was scrolling And here's David Spade and Joe Dirt And here's David Spade on Fly on the Wall So, you know, he was a little absorbed Here's Dana's OnlyFans all right okay so let's do well let's do a question yeah a question okay okay you want to read it then no you go ahead let me come in for my close-up my question is for both of you obviously you both had much success in the entertainment industry thank you yes was there ever time where you were ready to give up you're ready to throw in the towel and say i don't want to do this anymore as for me i'm an airline pilot whoa got my props and i know i've had that thought at times i'm so happy that i stuck it out as i now fly wide-body jets around the world huh right i think any any job you have to remember there is an element of work whether it's a lot of the element or not because our job seems fun on the outside which it's pretty fun but sometimes it gets tough.

36:26We want to quit. Now we've done okay. At the beginning and the first five, 10 years, sure. Every day it would cross my mind. I mean, you're in a, you're in a sketchy job. I mean, in our particular case, standup is not where you're making money today. It's almost a viable, you know, uh, career to go into. But back then it was like no scene, no one making cash, very hard to it's like officer and gentleman like I got nowhere else to go this is all I can do

37:00Dana Carvey:yeah I bombed a lot I bombed a lot the first three years you know I had some good sets and then a lot of bombs I quit several times stand up and then I did a lot of TV shows and pilots and blue thunder bombed and I did a movie with Kirk Dawgs and Burt Lancaster it bombed so everything I bombed till SNL and then afterwards it hasn't been pretty either so I would just say at this point, if you do your job well, then people don't think you're working. Even though you and I know there's a behind the scenes. You come out of David Spade and 3 ,000 people. You've been checking your notes. You're flying in.

37:36Dana Carvey:You've been doing this for years. You're honing, trying to fit in new stuff. You got to be up and tight for an hour. And if you do your job right, they're like, David just showed up. I get the general gist. It's easy. Yeah. But you don't want a pilot to be sweaty. You don't want to go visit the cockpit and he's got a, he's sweat coming down. Let's see if we can do this, man. So I'm glad that he loves his job. Now I don't want an angry, disappointed pilot up there. But my question for this guy, you secretly, there's a lot of people telling me this. I wanted to go into show business. I always wanted to be an actor.

38:11I mean, if your job is like a real job, tough, most jobs are very hard. Um, And it's nice. They always say you should love your job. It's almost impossible because it's very rare that jobs are so hard these days to make any money. You're going to love it. But if you can just get through it, because it is tough out there.

38:30Dana Carvey:I think, you know, obviously we're not a chain gang. But a lot of the emotional violence goes on in your head. So if you're in a movie and it sucks and the whole world's saying you suck, it's mentally, I call it an emotionally violent sport. And then there's also incredibly great things about it. Cause sometimes you're going, I get paid to do this. What? So it's everything. Yeah. You don't want your pilot to go to the copilot. You know what? I was thinking about calling it quits. You know, so, uh, you don't want that from your pilot, but this guy seems like he got straightened out, but jobs in general, I don't know if he means showbiz, but jobs in general are, it's tough every day.

39:08Of course.

39:08Dana Carvey:I have a very talented brother and he was a musician, but decided the lifestyle wasn't for him. And he said that he wanted a brain dead shit box job. So he wanted, it's like the Peter principle. They go, I want a job that was really easy for him. And then he would have his weekends. So there's the money and then there's also how you fit it into your brain and your lifestyle. When I see someone on a lawn boy mowing their lawn, a gardener, and then they finish the lawn and it's truly finished, I like the metric of the clarity of that. But with show business, I'll just say it's always kind of there.

39:51Dana Carvey:It's weird. I don't know how to describe it. You go months, then you do something, and then you don't do anything. It's just very odd. Yeah, you're getting calls. Plays with your emotions. Then you're cold, then you're cold, then you're hot. And you were, I mean, just to be honest, man, you were cold for a long time. I mean, I thought of a - Good 20-year chunk. But you've been hot the last 15, man. I would never go to Disneyland with you. I would never go to - Thank you. Mobbed. Well, I hope that answers some of the question, and you can put your questions in. What is the question thing, Dana?

From the publisher

Dana suffers through David’s riveting tale of flying coach—yes, coach—and the painful neck it left him with. Turns out, Dana’s been there too, thanks to some aggressive couch-based TV marathons. The guys also debate Brad Pitt’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spin-off (or is it actually Joe Dirt 2?), and spotlight the infamous Burbank Booty Sniffer. Plus, a NYC biker halts a garbage truck because he’s too enthralled with listening to Fly On the Wall (allegedly).
