19:52He can throw a card across the room as hard as, you know, and then who else? Jesse's good, Dave's good, everyone. We all kind of got into it.

20:00Dana Carvey:But you're an escape artist, so how did you practice that? Wait, wait. You get... The one I want... You're going to tell me because you've told it too much but I want to hear how scary water is because I'm scared of water. Are you really? And I saw... I'm scared of like the ocean going in and I used to not be as a kid. Now I am. And so I read that you got in water and I'm like, I couldn't... It would be too scary. I'm sure you've told this story before. No, I have to say like it's one of those stories. You know when you do like a press tour and you end up like you get kind of more and more worn down and tired and you start using a bit of hyperbole.

20:33Oh, and you kind of go, yeah. Yeah, because it's like, I don't know, you get sort of slightly bored. And so I exaggerated a tiny bit, but then taken out of context, it sounded like. It's still scary just to be in water in a scene. In handcuffs. But there was a release switch, and the water could be drained in nine seconds or something. So I was never in any genuine peril. But it did feel like at the time that it wasn't fun when I was like, oh, my little handcuffs, the handcuffs are caught underneath like the steel bars. and I thought this is less Little Mermaid and more just like middle aged women thrashing in the tank less Little Mermaid more I'm gonna die so you have a stunt double

21:07Dana Carvey:who goes and does it first right not on these no not on the tank handcuff one in this movie we did use stunt doubles for a few tricks but not for many okay but I don't want to do any spoilers because really the action is great you already spoiled it have I spoiled it watch this I was in a movie the wrong missy hey everybody oh a few people but I watched it recently one I love it you know it is a billion minutes it did a billion minutes on whatever that means it was yeah it's the greatest movie I love the wrong missy and the girl was so funny she's so funny so I'm in a shark tank in some dumb scene and then and then they we did it in a pool first yeah and then they go tomorrow we do it in the ocean I go no no no no I go in it in the ocean in a shark tank where there's sharks in the ocean but they go this should not be where sharks are in Hawaii and I go where do you know where sharks are in the ocean so So they had to go under the same thing.

22:01So weird. Because a shark gets caught in the thing with me. Anyway, very scary. And I relate to your story. And you know what the movie loves? When I say I almost died in it. Yeah. The movie company loves that. Oh, they do? You think so? They go, it's so great. Could you keep telling the story about how we didn't make you safe? And I go, yeah. I thought that potentially too. But then I got a kind of weird email. And then when we did another, I think it's in the movie actually, trailer. So I can say this. But we are in a tank again. and when we came to shoot that, there was a lot of his, Isla, are you okay?

22:30Isla, are you okay? Isla, are you okay? We know how you get it. What? Do I look like I slipped out? I'm Australian. I'm a surf lifesaver. I'm fine in this tank. I know when I had this, everyone goes, she's not going to like this. Water. I didn't even get that joke. I still don't get it. They're very triggering. She'll be like, what if I fell in it and I couldn't breathe? Yeah, couldn't breathe.

22:52Dana Carvey:Australians kind of, like they seem badass to me, you know, Like the Hemsworth brothers and, you know, the men. And they all do great accents. Are you in that world where you can just? I mean, I think there's just not much call for an Australian dialect. So we all sort of have great American accents. It's fucking hard, yeah. Russell Crowe is an extraordinary ear. Yeah. Yeah. Were those guys, you run into pretty much all the Australian stars. Yeah. Yeah, we do all hang out. It is like a bit of a koala mafia. It's like 16 of you maybe. Yeah, it's like an Antipodean gang. But we get the best ones.

23:24We get the best people over here. Like the best actors and actresses wind up in our stuff. So just the ones that stay, do they want to get over here? Was that always the idea or not? Well, you know, they didn't used to be. It's improved a lot. But we didn't used to have that much sort of content, original content, being developed in Australia. There are now more Australian filmmakers telling Australian stories. And we shoot a lot. A lot of American stuff shoots there. And we've got now like Warner Brothers and the Gold Coast. And I think we have state-funded drama schools. And there's a lot of money in the arts.

23:53way more money. The government puts a lot more money in the arts. They probably make more there than they do here. I mean, they make more stuff there than they do in Hollywood anymore. Yeah, well, right now, with maybe tariffs heading our way, I mean, that's terrifying.

24:04Dana Carvey:Whenever, you know, there's all this, okay, the world's crazy, whatever. I always think of Australia. You could always move to Australia. I know someone who moved down there. I don't think you could, actually. There's something about it. I've never been. No, but because they don't let you in. They're really strict. Are they really? Yeah. How strict? Because I've had friends who wanted to move. They fell in love with an Australian man. It was like, they waited. It's not so, you know, Because they don't try to come in short. They have to go to an island first. The immigrants, is there an island they have to go to, or is that made up?

24:29Dana Carvey:Or do they just like row in? No, I mean, yeah, we don't want to go on that topic. Oh, okay, sorry. I mean, we can, but I'm like, I don't want to be. Oh, immigration. Yeah. I know. I don't want to be the spokesperson for like. Well, anyway. We'll just say it's hard to get on Australia. Easy to get in America. Woody Harrelson is such a bag of fun. He is so fun. I love Woody. Yes. And Laura, his wife. They were great. Yeah, and we played this really dumb game. We would all put our hands out. And if we were to play this now, it's called fingers. And I would think of a finger. So put your hands out, right?

25:04I'm going to think of a finger. And then you're going to guess which finger I'm thinking of. Okay.

25:09Dana Carvey:Pinky. Whose pinky? Yours. Okay, so that goes down. You eliminate. And then we go all the way around. But my point is we're addicted to this game. It sounds so childish. It does not sound fun. Sounds incredible. But we play it, and Woody is like, he's manic about it. He's like, well, when are you playing the game? Is it about you're trying to telepathically tell them what you're – It's about how we communicate. But Dave and Woody have the best connection, and they've honestly won like several times. And when you win, the feeling, it could be a night shoot, it could be six in the morning, it could have been a wait, it could have been on a stage in stilettos, and you're miserable.

25:42But when Woody and Dave crack it, it's nothing better. It's like a minimalist thing.

25:46Dana Carvey:It's magic. There's a tell. There's a tell you're giving, but you don't know you are? No. It's like the idea that you just guess what somebody's thinking. And it's just pure guess. Because mentalists will do this with all these different tricks. I don't want to know. They have like little like. Wait a minute. They cheat? Don't tell me. They're magicians. They're not really. I know, but I don't ever want to figure out magic. It's one of the few things I, because I'm too smart. That's one of my favorite lines. He is actually pretty bright. So when you go, and I like to be tricked. It's one of the few things you go, holy shit.

26:17And I'm tricked literally every time. And so even movies like yours, I liked to watch that stuff. Yeah, it is. It's a great twist in our movie. You're going to love it. I love it because those movies are very thought out because everyone's guessing ahead. Yeah. I've seen David Blaine do it in real life. Oh, my gosh. And he's done it. And every time he does anything, I don't know. I have no idea what's called it. Me neither. None. And Mentalist on TV, I've seen lately on Instagram. And when I see those.

26:45Dana Carvey:On Joe Rogan's show, it's another podcast. Look it up, kids. they guessed his phone number or his social security number. Oh, wow. And he was flipped out. They do tricks where you go, I don't know how they do it and I'm glad I don't. But one time the guy goes, here's a Stanley Cup. And then he goes, and then at the end he goes, where is it? And he goes, check your ass. And it was all the way up my ass. And I didn't even feel it. You know what else was there? My car keys. Let's look at a clip. Four o 'clock. That was the best joke ever. That was so good I'm trying to clean it up But also a Stanley Cup It's so ambitious It's big Yeah you could have got With a magic wand Or something related Once you get to the handle It's easy to get out That's what I was at I was at where's the handle going Handle first Other than that So four movies All of a sudden Yeah Because that's extraordinary I mean some of them I'm in small I'm only in like one scene In J.

27:43Kelly Or two or three Oh are you in J. Kelly Yeah just a little bit I just did it because it's Noah Baumbach and it was shooting in London and Italy and it was like an honor to be on set with. It's great. Yeah, Adam Sandler and he's great and George Cloon and he's an amazing car. Did you see Adam at all? I did. Oh, you did? Are you in a scene with Adam? I'm in one scene with Adam but his character is sort of, it's an audience scene so we're all separate but I did have a nice time with him. Yeah, yeah. Was he all right? Yeah, he was really happy and I met him and Jackie came over and we did the, you know, I saw them a bunch.

28:14Dana Carvey:Oh, great. Okay, so Spa Weekend Yeah, that's really fun. With Leslie Mann and Anna Faris. Those two are hilarious. That I'm not, I think it's Mother's Day actually. Okay, and what was that about? It's why I watched your movie, The Wrong Missy. Okay. Because my character, basically I watch, I play somebody in every friend group. There's one friend that nobody likes. In every lady friend group. But they get included and invited everywhere because, you know, it's a sense of. Is that you? Thank you for loving that. You go, what part am I? They're like, the one everyone hates you. Yeah, but you know what?

28:43I would have had my feelings hurt but when I got the offer, I was with my daughters and they're like, mommy, you're so popular. Everyone loves you. That's weird that you're cast in that. If I hadn't had that like instant gratification, I would have spiraled. But also you play. I would have because it's such a like the characters literally they want rid of her the entire time. I love it. That's a funny part though. Yeah. That's a great part. So then I looked at all these kind of characters. I didn't end up using – because what I created in the end is much more like in keep it. They made Bad Moms and The Hangover.

29:11So it's like it's rated PG-13. So it's like a moderate version of a bunch of different.

29:17Dana Carvey:What voice did you use? Just an American accent? Just my American accent. Okay. Yeah. Could you just go into that for a second and go back? Yeah, like that. I just talk like that the whole way through the movie. God dang. It's so weird. It's so much harder, I feel, to talk Australian. Yeah, because you really got to open your mouth wide and see your eyes in the land. Yuck. Have you ever run into Paul Hogan? Yes. I love Hoagsy. Is he still kicking around? Hoagsy's everywhere. Yes. Where's Hoagsy been? We have these galas in Australia, Australia's in film, and we have these wonderful, like, where we celebrate each other, and, you know, because Hollywood doesn't celebrate each other enough, so we get together.

29:51Jesus. Hey, let's not go there. We go, yay, we're all together, Australians. And fucking Hoagsy comes back. Yeah, we have a barbecue. It's only a barbecue. That's your knife. It's a knife. I know. He's so brilliant. Yeah. Everyone – oh, I got a question for you. Yeah. This is Australian trivia. Uh-oh. Were you at Moulin Rouge premiere? I wasn't born then god damn it

30:14Dana Carvey:you're mad I was about to say I was there and then I just pulled it because that would make me older super old well she was in no I'm kidding I remember when it came out you remember when it came out because I was there I went to it nice and Baz was there well Baz directed me in the Great Gatsby which was one of my favorite experiences and you love him I love him love him I love the sets I love the costumes and everyone loved Moulin Rouge Everybody And Strictly Ballroom The one before I mean everything he does Did that sort of blow him up Strictly Ballroom Yes I think that was what really And then Moulin Rouge Kind of went worldwide Yeah And then he just stayed big Yeah Yeah yeah yeah Playdate Our friend Kevin James Kevin James Kevin Kevin what's his problem What's he about Yeah what's his problem Kevin's great I know I bully Kevin in this movie Is he the baby in it What is it He plays a man baby He's not a man baby, but he's the comic.

31:12How is he compared? I don't know. Is it parents get together for play dates for the kids? Right, and I play like a mama mafia type, and he comes to my park on my turf. Oh, yeah, I like that. And so I'm like, what do you do? I call him a pedo. It's like a bunch of really rude jokes against him. Is it PG-13? When we shot it, we thought it was an ah. There was a lot of fun. He slung some insults at my character. Really? Yeah, I slung some at his. He was great. I loved working with him. He was very, very nice. Just calm. Yeah, very good dude. We did grow up. He's a very nice guy. Yeah. He did, Playdate's a good catchy title.

31:50Yeah. I haven't seen it, so I'm sort of like. Two word titles are fucking boom. Yeah. That's what you want. Yeah.

31:56Dana Carvey:Do you feel like, just getting to know you now, like you get some kind of off-kilter parts. Like you're going against the grain. Yeah. You consider yourself a character actor in a way or both, but you seem like you get to. I feel like I'm a bit more of a character actor. I feel really lucky about that. You know who's a character actor? Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig is a character actor. Because of the movie Glass Onions. Well, I was at the Oscars. Hold on. Yeah, keep going. So I'm in the little bar area, in Daniel Craig's area, and he's having a martini and he's in a tuxedo. I said, are you never not a character?

32:32Dana Carvey:But he's just, he's done character parts. Obviously, when he does the, what we have here, it's a mood. Yeah. And then when you see him, his face can be a little goofy, or he does his bond, his whole body changes. Yeah. And he becomes really handsome. Are you interviewing him today? No, I'm just applying you to him as people who are chameleons and can just disappear. Believe me, we're getting a little Daniel Craig heavy for a second. I was with you. Daniel Craig's invited on the podcast. He's a little like this. no but he makes a very handsome face he gets his show he's very handsome face he's very hot he is handsome anyway but he does a bond face a prone face that just is very cool I'm just a huge fan I'm a huge fan of him too even before Glass Onion is he on stage by the way he's really apparently unbelievable on stage sweet guy what's would you like to I'm a serious actor talking about serious actors your dream part I'm thinking Gary Oldman in Churchill would you love to do something with prosthetics where you just completely disappear.

33:34Absolutely not.

33:36Dana Carvey:Oh, you say no, I love it. No, because you know, you've got to go in so early and I have like a bit of ADHD and I don't know if I could sit down and have it like really applied in that way. If you do just a nose, you could win an Oscar. Yeah, if you put on, you could play Ronald McDonald. You could just, just a nose. I've always had the feet too. I've always had very large feet. Oh my God. Are we getting this? I know. I mean, they're not that. I mean, I suppose I have small feet, but I feel like I wish my feet were smaller. You think they're small? Is that what you said? I've been told they're small, but I feel like they should be smaller.

34:11Well, what? Do we have any numbers? This is going to trend. You don't understand our audience. Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry. My feet are fine. Are those suede? They're fake suede. Okay, Dana. Do you have a stylist? Yeah. Oh, I already asked that.

34:28Dana Carvey:I'm sorry. Jesus. Are you already back to page one? My notes are, I don't know. Oh, here they are. You wrote a book with your mom at 18. Come on. Is that made up? No, that's true. Was it fiction or nonfiction? It was like a YA, young adult, they call the genre. But it had sex scenes in it. And I was only, yeah, I was like 18. And so I hadn't even had a boyfriend at that point. So it was quite awkward with my mom pitching quite racy things. Did she push you to be more sexual? Yeah, she was like, we've really got to get the characters. And I was a bit like, oops. Now, there was one novel that was Bewitched and My First Handjob.

35:06Yes, I'm sorry. I'm reading it wrong. Seduced by fame. My First Handjob. My mom had obviously given many handjob. Oh, my God. I'm just kidding. She's like. I hope you don't cut your line out and then just leave me with that code. Oh, yeah, that's a good way to do it. You could just throw me out. You could destroy. Fuck, yeah. Oh, who are your best actress buds over there? It could be American, too. Is Chelsea one of them? Who are my best actress buds? Like your actress friend. In life? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I'm so lucky. You meet a ton of people. Recently, I connect Michelle, who's in my movie Spa Weekend.

35:39Michelle Boutot? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I absolutely love her. I think she's hilarious. Great. Every movie. Chelsea Handler. Obsessed. Annabelle Wallace, obsessed. Natalie Portman. Love, love, love. Natalie Portman? Yes. Natalie Portman. You know her? She's great. She's the best. She's kind of off the rate.

35:54Dana Carvey:I mean, she's a brilliant actress. You don't see her a lot as herself. Is she kind of a pistol, a kick in the pants? No, we don't see her. Normal people don't see her. No, because you know why you don't see her? Because she lives in, at the moment, in France, in Paris. Oh. Yeah. So she's not like... Do you know French?

36:17Dana Carvey:Fake French? No, I speak French. You were doing... I was doing fake. You knew it, right? He doesn't know anything.

36:33Do you stay in touch with Scooby-Doo? With Scooby-Doo? Well, he's an animated character. No, he's not. We do Scooby-Doo. I can't stay in touch with him. You do Shaggy. Watch this. I do Shaggy and he does Scooby-Doo.

36:46Dana Carvey:Okay, give me a topic. War and I ran. Is there a War and I ran? No. She clams up. Here's a different one. Do your topic. Here's another one. I don't know any topic. You don't know any topic. Is the topic... Gee, Scoob, I don't know what to talk about. The world's on fire. What are we going to do, Scoob? Zoinks. Guys, that's amazing. See? It's just Casey Kasem. We've got Isla Fisher on the show. She didn't have a C in her name, Scoob. I didn't know what to say. You fucked up.

37:27She noticed it right up and down.

37:29Dana Carvey:Scoob, I didn't know you could swear. We're just G-rated cartoons. This changes everything, Scoob. Let's hump something. Scoobie's horny. They cut it out of the final stuff, but always dry-humping people. Look, we keep going like this. What's not going to offend her? Not that. No, it's fine. No, no, listen. What's this book? Have you guys read that book or is that just like a prop? I don't know what that book is. To make you look deep. Prop. I think it's an SNL book, isn't it? Is it the SNL book? Oh, nice. I didn't read it. I skimmed it for pictures of me. You never auditioned for SNL. Did you do SNL?

38:05Dana Carvey:We didn't even think to ask you this. No, I was supposed to do SNL. Because you would be great on that show. Right after Hot Rod. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And then I can't remember what I was doing. I was on the press tour for Confessions. Oh, is it Confessions of a Shopper? I can't remember. I didn't end up doing it. but I am an avid fan. Sorry. Do you believe that they kind of make overtures after Hot Rod? Like, hey, would you like to maybe come on the show? Or you were going to audition or where did it go? That's so good as long. The thing about Isla, you'll find that she's fair. About what?

38:37Dana Carvey:I'll let you know. Fair is a good one. No, he's great. But she wouldn't have been a cast member. I'm seeing you now. I mean, you're built for that show. I would love to do that show. But you're a movie star, so it doesn't matter. I would love to do it. Love, love, love. But you could do it again. I mean, well, I think you should host, host, host. I'd love to just do a skit. I just like to just go on it. I just love watching it. I've been there live. I think you were there the night. Did we see? The 50th? I feel like there was a bunch of us there. No, I didn't go to that. But one of them I feel like in New York once.

39:06Were you there with David Blaine? No, am I? Oh, went down there? Yeah, I feel like you were. I sometimes, yeah, maybe. The after party? The after party. The after party? Interesting.

39:16Dana Carvey:Yeah, after party. A lot of the people with Boston accent in this particular area. Wait, just quickly, where do you and Chelsea go? Do you go out to dinner and drink? Yeah, we went to Wally's. We just went to Wally's for dinner. Oh, Wally's in Beverly Hills? Yeah, it was really nice. Is that good? The cheese platter's amazing, obviously. It's like a cheese place. Do you just eat cheese and then drink? No, we actually really broadened our horizons. We did carpaccio. We had some of that special octopus, and then we split a burger. Oh, great. But you know what I will say? Don't let them give you the gourmet tomato sauce.

39:46It's not good. Just ask for the straight-up ketchup. Oh, yeah. Sometimes you try to gussy it up here. It's just like it loses its...

39:53Dana Carvey:What's your self-care habits? We're down to the nub. Sorry. We can go back to the movie. We've got 30 seconds. No, but you seem like you... Self-care sounds dirty. Do you do crunches? Do you have a skin routine? Do you drink a lot of water? Because I'm hearing Chelsea Handler. I'm hearing spritzers. I'm hearing cheese. But you look pretty good. Darn good. You must have some habits I think anxiety just I get nervous And then I'm not that hungry And then you're not hungry Yeah That's it And we have to Before we get you out here And get you an Uber We have to say Oh yeah For Wedding Crashers Do you audition for that Or do you get asked to do it Or do you have to go in there and read No I read like I think five times For Wedding Crashers With Vincent No no no With Lisa Beach And Was that casting Yeah I don't And maybe Dobkin And maybe Andrew Panay I can't remember Is Dobkin the director Yeah.

40:44David Dobkin? David Dobkin. Okay. Yep. And then you go and they go crazier, less crazy, whatever, whatever, because that really – No, they actually didn't see her as that crazy. I think they wanted her to be more sort of like a sort of seductive character, and then I thought it would be funny if she was a bit more Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction. Fatal Attraction, yeah. And then he just was great. David's so good at like letting you have like a wild take or two, and then he just used, I guess, in the end in the edit, it did work better that she was more threatening than she was like... A little unhinged.

41:16Yeah.

41:16Dana Carvey:God, that's such a gift when they let you... Such a gift. Yeah. Such a hit. And when they give you this space, it's like one thing if they go, ugh, okay, you can do a take, but it's another thing if they like... Yeah. They give you the process where you just feel like you can take the space and you're not like annoying anyone by doing another. And you're not wasting a waste time or something. Yeah, that's a worse feeling when you... There's everyone in the crew is watching and... Can I do a take? Then you do it. Yeah. All right, moving on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No comment. All right, we're going to.

41:41Dana Carvey:Are you done with your take? That's a wrap, everybody. That you wanted. That was funny? Great. That's your one. As long as you thought it was good. All right, it's a wrap. But I would guess Vince Owen would be up for that and laughing in a good audience too. Yeah, and they love and they're really fun to, yes. Because they're smart enough to know if you score, they score. Yeah. If the movie works. And Bradley Cooper was in that, which I keep forgetting. Yeah, Coops. Was in that. Great in that too. Just another side character that's funny as shit. Yeah. And the combination of all that was such a hit.

42:12That's one of those ones that last for me.

42:13Dana Carvey:Yeah, those knots. They're hard to find. It was like 2008 or one of those hits, those Will Ferrell movies, those big comedies with those guys. They're just big and they stick around and just always on your resume. It's nice to have one because it's, as you know, because that was probably early on. It's just always hard. As much as you go into movies like this, it's hard to get one. All the way through, stays funny. through the editing through the test screens you're like holy shit is this actually staying good yeah and Owen was really funny yeah and it changed actually my career because until then I felt like I hadn't really done comedies before and I wasn't really like considered for them and then I got like a whole other did you get a lot of do that like be that girl again oh no I was lucky I had like a I've always been with this wonderful agent from oh that's good 20 odd years and he's always like no you know and I love to like challenged myself so I didn't want to I don't challenge myself and I've been doing the same part since the beginning but it's fine it got me this doomsday shelter movie stars kind of do the same part and someone meets you at 3 o 'clock somebody it depends on if I'm Pacific or Central I kind of do a wide net I just hit the Rockies in this side so horrible whatever that story oh goodness Born in Somalia.

43:38We'll just wrap it up. Born in Somalia. No, it said, spent early childhood in Scotland. I was born in Omen or Eamon. Omen. Omen. Were you ever in Scotland? Yes, I did spend time in Scotland. I have a really complicated cultural identity because I was kind of born in the Middle East, but I was raised in Australia, and then I went to a clown school in Paris, and then I ended up living on two continents over the course of... First day of school.

44:02Dana Carvey:Isla, you dropped one. See you tomorrow. It was clown and mime school. Yeah. Was it mime too? I just had the feet for it. The big feet. You just wear your own shoe. Yeah, I didn't have to put on the big shoes. How fun. Mime school, what haven't you done? Written books, giant movies. It's too much. The resume, it's getting real. We'll start working at nine in a commercial. Yes. Is that an Aussie? That's a crazy. That's an Aussie thing.
