Luke Wilson Got Stuck on an Elevator with Wes Anderson

27:59Dana Carvey:He is always funny. Oh, no, he is a monster in the paint, if you know the reference. John Lovitz in 8H was a laugh machine. I just saw him, you know, I was clicking through channels and saw him on an episode of Seinfeld where he was really funny. He's funny on everything. Every time he shows up, he's funny. He really is. Excuse me. And he is one of those guys that he, you know, he doesn't appear to be exerting any effort. But, you know, if someone's not funny, they're very sharp witted and kind of. uh you know have ideas i have a question when we're done talking about love it's but um which i do like to hear uh when do you have any any of your movies i can think of tannenbaums where it's like a halloween costume because i see some tannenbaums right right it's kind of cool to see that that's that's the primary one it seems it's a good look but yeah that's an every year I get pictures from different people.

29:00I like that. Don't you think it's cool? And now pictures from, you know, people that weren't even born when it was out, but they'll have the Richie Tenenbaum character, which is my character, and then the Gwyneth Paltrow Mark Margo Tenenbaum character. But yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's some Joe Dirtz. That's got to be a popular one. Joe Dirtz is actually I want to be more flattered, but it's pretty easy. It's like People go really lo-fi. It's like last minute. I have jeans, work boots, flannel shirt, maybe cut the sleeves off. And then some don't even put on a shitty mullet. They put on like a messy, they mess up their hair.

29:40I go, no, you're not winning any contest. And they love hearing that. Because the Tenenbaum one is, you know, I'm always thinking, where did you get a camel hair suit? and like this, you know, vintage Vila, you know, shirt and headband So I'm definitely always impressed by the effort that goes into it. Dana, do you have a Halloween character? It would just be

30:09Dana Carvey:Garth. Any high school girl with long blonde hair does the glasses, the flannel goes like this Yeah, it's very cute It's very sweet yeah david and i were playing this giant 5 000 seat casino and go let's do q a so we come out and they're already you know the casino it's pretty raucous in there on the left there was a teenage girl dresses garce jumping down screaming i love you i love you let's go to the other side of the stage there was another teenage girl and then there was a joe dirt in there too i think and we made them and a tandem bomb they're good hey do you know do you know luke wilson is i uh i really want to i want to i really want to see you guys live um so i'm gonna and by the way your your travel stuff you guys always kid around that you talk too much about the travel stuff but yeah i think that anybody that has to travel for work it's it's very appealing to listen to someone else's travel we give you the lows not the highs we give you the exactly whether it's the the plane or the room i just had a classic one where i they wouldn't give me a key to my room after i've been up and down and i said oh you're you're you're you know and i didn't have any id um and i said oh you're gonna give me a key we're gonna work Oh, you're going full Luke on him, huh?

31:42Dana Carvey:Do you ever try to scam the maids into doing it? Oh, yeah. I stand by when they're there and I go... Sometimes it works. I know. I always say I can describe exactly what's inside the room. You're going to see a green backpack and you're going to see a pair of pants hanging over the shirt when you walk in. They go, Luke, do you want me to get those towels off the ceiling? What accent is that? well most no if so people know if you're in the mgm grand you you do your show you have to walk kind of like a half mile to your room and then it goes and it doesn't work the worst and you're like really that's what i'm saying yeah it's the walk that gets you um yeah they're like go down to the ferris wheel take a right then it's about you're going to pass four bars and then you're going to get on a lady susan then i don't like to fly but the last time i came into santa barbara it was a hard landing i don't i have no fear when we're about to land i just don't like to take off but the flight attendants both basically screamed i was in the pointy part of the airplane and they were sitting there i was like bam and i got to be the cool guy for once what hey you okay you okay you all right calm down i'm more like on the takeoff when they get scared when those flight attendants get scared they pick up the phone and go what the fuck is going on that's when i get scared because i go they they've seen it all no that's where i listen and i hear really that bad okay we'll we'll clear the set yeah i i get anticipatory when you hear that drink cart just rattling it can be a little scary they go like They go, yeah, they go.

33:32A terrorist on this flight? And they go. Okay. And I'm like, you shouldn't have said that so loud. I'm sitting close. A terrorist on this flight?

33:42Dana Carvey:Yeah, I had a friend who was so afraid of that. We got on a plane and then there were empty seats. And then 10 Middle Eastern men sat down and started going. And I go, it's too obvious. Just relax. It's way too obvious. Nothing's going to happen. But he was absolutely. This was after 9-11 folks Don't write me any letters please No letters please Don't let me do the metaphorical Anyway I just tried to film a fight out in the street I was walking along And it was fucking boiling out And I'm like Going through my day I got this Luke shit I gotta do I'm just kind of going through my head This Luke shit?

34:22Our favorite reoccurring guest I know And I'm finally excited about doing it once And then I go, and then I see this African-American kind of black guy, and he's walking by. Kind of black guy? Well, there's a Mexican guy, and they're already arguing. So I go, should I film this? It's 2026. He's digging. I go, should I film these guys fighting? Because then I can get on TikTok and be a big hero, you know? Mm-hmm. Because I always see fights. Everything I see on my TikTok is just fighting. Mm-hmm. So I start filming. Then the dude looks at me and I go, I don't know what to do. So I, I walk away.

34:59Then he runs and punches the dude and then throws him on the ground. And the guy gets up and throws something at him. And I'm like, should have filmed it. But anyway, then I walked down, blah, blah, blah. And then I guess I'm almost to my car. He's walking this way. He comes right at me. And I was like, cause I know I'm the little rat that was filming him. And I have the evidence. Right. And this is just another Monday. On the way here. Yeah. Are you kidding? Yeah, that's right. No, I swear. Yeah. And then I was like, oh, no. If this happens, the worst thing will happen. Luke will be sitting waiting to get on the Zoom like this.

35:34On Instagram, somehow I'll get those videos of guys on golf courses getting in fights. Oh, yeah. It must be a sign of getting older because I do not like to watch them. No, it's really rough because, you know, someone's day is ruined.

35:51Dana Carvey:Well, you'll see a guy with his shirt off being alpha alpha, right? Like he beats up everyone in his life. And then some guy just knows how to box, cold cocks him, knocks him flat in front of his wife. First she's like, oh, go get him, you sexy beast. And then she's like, you're not so tough. It's kind of sad. The only good one was when. There were guys that are in their 70s. You're like, gosh, this is just, you'd think that hopefully you'd get to that point and not want to be thrown down. always be getting in fights there was one guy that was saying i don't fight screaming at the other guy and then finally and the guy was kind of big he was screaming at and then he took off his shirt he's like let's go let's go yeah i saw that one and then he fucking threw him down and then the guy got him again he beat the shit and he finds out the guy's a hockey enforcer he's a real hockey player that beats guys up he threw him around like a rag doll and the guy kept coming back and i'm like do you have ct why do you keep coming back and get beat up again now you have you're out you're out of gas and you still got to go come on you fucking pussy and then again wham yeah that's like whenever you see those flyweight boxers and you think okay if you put kind of like an oversized t-shirt on one of these guys they might just look like a little guy but i do feel like i have a good radar for someone that's just kind of a badass that you'd look for those cauliflower our ears what does your youtube feed you luke at night and you're just like i'll go some youtube clips it starts feeding you obviously golf golfers getting beat up what's in your rotation i'm i'm i'm always shocked by how on the money it is or something i haven't thought of that i'm like gosh i cannot wait to watch this a lot of it will be you know um i got into a real like john Houston interviews phase and then also I like like like Mitchum on Dick Cavett kind of things like you know rock get a lot of rock and roll I do get old clips from like midnight special of bands those are great and the Don Kirshner show and and then there's a great one like a European one called Rockplast with this kind of funny bearded host but it's you know it'll be like the rolling stones in 1972 but that's i know kind of what i get the the most it seems i uh but yeah i'm always youtube is great just anything you're interested in you can look it up and uh but yeah it's always fun to see those great old you know in those interviews where you know they're not bombing through the interview like they do now on talk shows they were just so much more conversational.

38:43Yeah. Dick Cavett was like a, I get a lot of old Carsons. Yeah. The old Carsons are just great. And like I went through where I, I think I watched every Bob Newhart and Johnny interview and those are so unbelievable. Like them making each other laugh and it's also so conversational, but there's just, you don't feel that vibe of, okay, you know, this story, then that story and this story then an ice bucket ice bucket challenge and um i don't even know if it's planned like i mean nowadays i never knew that you have to sort of give them an idea of what you're going to say and tell them stories ahead of time and they go we like those stories i back then it really felt like i don't know if it was planned or not but because it would have dead spots which was fine you know they would just talk and then we wouldn't have a good answer and then it'd be silent yes yes yeah yeah that's what i I like that.

39:40It's more real. There would be pauses in the conversation where Johnny would be just looking and kind of smiling. Dana, you have great Johnny stories, even though it kind of ended with him. Maybe he had his feelings hurt by Corsenio, but did you guys ever get to kind of smooth it over?

40:01Dana Carvey:Not really. I kind of regret that. It wasn't Corsenio. Corsenio, they're making fun of Corsenio as much as they're making fun of us. You see that, Carsino? So he was okay with that. It was one where Susan Day came on, and Johnny didn't know the Partridge family had been off the air. So how's that show going? And he felt on Monday, before he started the show, Johnny apparently said, is she Edward? She's now. Did you see that? He didn't say Saturday Night Live. So that was unfortunate. But inhabiting Johnny was just complete Nebraskan earnestness. You know, so Luke, you just came into it and you shut up the mic and here you are.

40:43Dana Carvey:And you're talking to Dana Garney and David Spudler. I guess there are some pre-fi entertainers. Is that right? It's just this sort of that's why he's good with old people. But I was and young people. But I was going to say that he was the king and there is no singular king now. There's so many shows. I mean, Colbert just got bounced, but like the competition and the intensity, because all the other choices. But Johnny was the settled king by the 70s. Cavett made a little noise, but yeah. So that was Snyder was good. Tom Snyder. He was great. And that's that's that's that's another great, you know, YouTube thing is the American Masters about Johnny, where he goes back to Nebraska.

41:26Yeah. where you kind of see that other side of Johnny that you would hear about where he was a little more quiet and thoughtful. But yeah, Tom Snyder was great. He'd smoke a few butts during an interview. All right, sir. Fair enough, sir.

41:43Dana Carvey:Yeah, I went on his show once and then he didn't show up. I'm in the chair and the show's starting, the music, everything. And there's no Tom Snyder. And his first line, this was like 97 or something. He goes, so you're making fun of Johnny on the show. why are you making fun of johnny carson he went right after that like four years after the effect and i said you know what fuck you and they cut that part no i just said are you kidding i'm kidding ask johnny you know what tom fuck you and the horse you rode in on well uh so anyway tell us about getting stuck in an elevator because that's my biggest fear oh god i uh It just shows how the news has changed.

42:25You could have written a book or had some great movie come out, and people are like, so you were stuck on an elevator.

42:37Wes Anderson and I and James L. Brooks had gone to the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences for a 30th anniversary screening of Bottle Rocket. Bottle rock. Cool. The first. And, and it was, you know, we went and, and got to walk around the museum a little bit, which is really cool. I'd not been in there. And then we had, and then we did a nice talk before I say nice talk because it was great to do it instead of a Q and a after, but we did a talk before and Wes was great and really funny on stage. And James L Brooks is always really interesting and thoughtful. And then when we finished that, we were going to go to dinner.

43:25And for some reason, you know, we were only one floor up, but they put us on this elevator and it was, you know, 11 people. And the thing just stopped. And I'd not been on an elevator that fully stopped and gotten stuck. And I had on a sport coat and a tie. And about, you know, 10 minutes in, I take off the tie. And then, you know, at about 20 minutes in, took off the jacket and, you know, could not get out and eventually kind of pried the doors open, you know, that much to get a little air. And then you had to eat James L. Brooks. Did you have light? Was it was it dark or was it?

44:07Dana Carvey:It was it was it was it was daytime. time and then they did have to call the uh the la fire department and and looked out you know got the doors apart and saw those guys walking and they they we we we didn't feel that they were walking with the urgency that we would have hoped for but but but still i i said hey at least we're going to get to see some hunky lf la fire department you know but they they did get us out but it was over it was over half an hour and it was it was definitely yeah i'm not at not claustrophobic but did start to think you know okay you know what would happen if there was a fire or an earthquake or something bad and we're in a metal box oh yeah what were the other people like did they interview hey luke wilson were they civilians so a quote-unquote or were they part of the show on the in the elevator it was you know a few a few public a few publicists of a few people from the academy james o brooks so so yeah no just regular people so a quote-unquote yeah right there there was nobody that wasn't associated with the talk but yeah so we managed to get out of there but it yeah it is a couple of people took took pictures and and then it went i guess it's gone semi-viral.

45:33Dana Carvey:Are you crying? I'm just so, I'm very curious about Wes Anderson because he doesn't do a lot of interviews. And in that situation, was his creative mind going like, is he going to put that in a movie or something? Or he seems, his movies are so singular, Wes, you know? Wes was really funny on it because Wes got on the intercom, the maintenance and had this, I wish I could remember what he was saying. And then, and then, and then at one point through the doors to the LA fire department, you know, Wes said, would you just at least give us an update? Are you making progress? And the guy was like, sir, we're doing what we can to get you out of there when we can get you out of there.

46:18And, uh, and he, and he cut, and he kind of gave Wes a bit of a brushback bitch, um, Which Wes took in good stride. But Wes was I James L. Brooks at the beginning was very quiet. And I thought, gosh, I hope he's not claustrophobic. And then he got very funny and started filming it. I was I I felt like I was getting kind of a little more starting to think, you know, getting a little more concerned as the time went on. And it was airless, you know, to feel that airless feeling where you get that sheen of sweat on you. And then, yeah, just thinking. And when you look through the little. Is this it?

47:04When you could get the door open, it was it was a metal bars, a great, you know, it wasn't just an open floor where you just thought, OK, if they pry these open, we can at least jump out or crawl out. And then the other side. The other side was this thick, you know, museum glass.

47:22Dana Carvey:I had a stuck elevator story. If you want to hear that. I would love to. My wife and I and Arnold Schwarzenegger are in an elevator. It's not a competition. Yeah. I know. It stops and everybody's kind of quiet. It just stops. And we're just sort of waiting, waiting, waiting. And then it lurches a little bit. And then Arnold, two minutes of silence just goes, yeah, now it's getting interesting. You know, but he was like the terminator he's like don't worry i know how to do things in these situations they're gonna come in the minute now but this is a very interesting situation but the elevator is supposed to go up and the doors are supposed to open but we're stuck in the darkness and i go thanks for explaining that whole thing no problem let me light a cigar and i'll tell you more you don't mind if i smoke but most of that story was true until i went off on a flight of fancy but Yeah, this is getting very interesting.

48:22Dana Carvey:He was very cool. I will say that the L.A. Fire Department was great. They got us out of there. They were very cool customers. So thanks to those guys. When they moseyed on over there. You know, I would say it would be less scary. It wasn't like backdraft. I'll put it like that. They weren't charging extra stairs. I love backdraft. What you'd hope for is a little more kind of. Check that door for heat. Yeah.

48:51Dana Carvey:look david there's some things in life you just want to keep running like your browser history right you don't want everyone or a questionable swimsuit choice fyi but when it comes to your phone bill total transparency is everything i gotta be honest that's why i really do i love mint mobile yeah listen my if i anything ever happens to me please drive to my house and burn my laptop um they looked at everything these guys at mint mobile they looked at everything wrong with the wireless industry and they actually fixed it they uh offering premium wireless for just 15 bucks a month you get the uh blazing fast data you get unlimited talk and text on the nation's largest 5g network without any hidden gotchas that's they usually have it's incredibly easy to switch keep your current phone you can have your same phone number mine's bad by the way i would change it uh and then choose a three six or 12 month plan to completely say goodbye to that annoying monthly bill you know it is time to ditch those overpriced carriers come on people to get your new wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month is anything 15 bucks a month anymore nothing go to mint mobile.com slash fly wall that's mint mobile.com slash fly wall cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mint mobile.com slash fly wall that's it there's no catch right david from payment of 45 bucks for three months 90 for six months or 180 for 12 months plan required$15 per month equivalent taxes and fees extra initial plan term only greater than 50 GB may be slow when network is busy includes up to 20 GB hotspot capable device required availability speed and coverage varies you just go to mintmobile.com all your answers yeah Yeah, that's mints.

54:00Now, Luke, listen, I think that if you told someone, because I've been stuck, and my story is way better, I'm not going to tell it, but I've been stuck, and if you told someone, could you handle this for 31 minutes you might be able to get your head around it but people forget you think you're in there forever there's no ending oh that's why you freak out all night so they hear 30 minutes they go i could do 30 but you're not told that ahead of time so it's like being on a desert island or anything you're on the runway for for two hours you go i guess but do you think it's there's no end right and yeah and then they they stuck they stuck they stuck it like a a little spatula through and you thought okay what the hell is that gonna do and then they stuck you know like a kind of a clothes hanger thing through and you know nothing was really doing anything and uh nothing's doing yeah was there cake on the spatula that's what i'm not kidding that's what it looked like but because of course you know i'd said you know they'll have the jaws of life they'll pry these open they'll break the door off I would think.

55:10But I did say at one point, you know, to the woman from the academy, I said, you might need to call the head of the academy now because the maintenance, they're not doing much. They don't seem to, or at least call the president of Otis Elevators. Just call the president Trump.

55:31Dana Carvey:I like the name. No, that top, I mean, I'm sorry I interrupted. I was halfway through your elevator story and then I inserted Arnold and then we finally got the rear of the spatula and all this stuff. We're just glad you're safe, Luke. But shouldn't we mention the show that he's on? What is with the Hawk and what the hell is that about? It's a golf. It's a golf. You got me there. I've been doing so much press. Did you see me? It's a golf show. Oh, you've, okay. You've been on a press tour for this. We'll make it interesting. I only did a couple of days, but it was coming off two weeks of nights.

56:17So, so I, I, you guys did nights on Swartz's movie.

56:22Dana Carvey:Do you just get an offer kind of every day of something? Seems like you are highly in demand. Very. Just every day they go, there is this thing. You're probably not going to do it, but they like you to do this and that. You know? No. No, I'm sure it's just like, I'm sure it's just like with you guys where people say, are you working all the time where you say, no, you know, sometimes you're very busy. And then other times it seems you're off for six or nine months, um, which, you know, can be, can be, can be nice too. I mean, I, I enjoy both. Um, or something doesn't come out like for a year and they go, where have you been?

57:01One guy goes, yeah. The big question is got any movies when they get nervous, they don't know what to say. got any movies coming out i go like i remember someone asked me during the wrong missy i go oh uh yeah the wrong missy on netflix i go oh i didn't see that got any other ones well how many do i fucking need it takes a year to shoot a year to come out when was kidding around with will ferrell about that where he said he'd had a guy say like so are you still making movies and i said one one and will said yeah i i just had a movie come out maybe like four months ago where i'd missed a flight up at mammoth and it was like snowy day the flights are only two days i got the day wrong and this kid working in the airport said hey man when are you gonna make a come back oh yeah come back and i said well i you know you're already really down because you've just missed a flight and i said well i i gotta get back to la to get this comeback started so how am i gonna be at least at least two days before i start the old comeback but thank you

58:13Dana Carvey:he's like get back on that audition circuit i remember being at an event first few months snl afi kirk douglas thing jimmy stewart's over there and we're around this table i remember people he's 82 he's jimmy stewart jimmy fucking stewart and they're saying yeah he's not working much lately and i thought you cannot win the game of show business if jimmy stewart can't win it what chance do i have yeah he's not really fucking you know anyway even you know when those kind of old actors just kind of stop working in a dignified way they kind of do that whether it's like gene hackman or they kind of say it about jack nicholson now like oh well you know jack he's not working anymore it's like yeah well he's 86 it's probably he has 40 classic movies and three oscars does that count for something right so he's probably enjoying just sitting around with his art.

59:19You know what a good move is? And this is what I'll do is when I see someone that hasn't been working for a while, what a strategy is a real strategy is they announced their retirement. They go, they're just not that many parts. And you know, I'm going to, and so you never really have to do that because you sort of get forced into retirement from show business. But if you say that it's your last swing of people going, you know what? They'd be good for this because you're in the paper again one last time to announce a retirement paper and they go oh okay well maybe we should use them right but it always seems to be it always seems to be guys like russell crowe or daniel day lewis where i you know steve martin had that great line where he said you're you're out of the business for five years before you know it no one gave you the memo yeah do they

1:00:13Dana Carvey:mention oh uh your brother to you a lot and try to contrast and compare or anything like that oh yeah they always and always get and of course now we we both have golf shows um so bring up you know bring that up but yeah people that's another thing people always want to kind of say like are you guys competitive and say no you you you it's kind of like we're on the same team where you want the other person to do well you know we're not we're not uh we're not we're not the everly brothers we're not feuding we actually get along very well just very well and we are in the business firmly and doing work and uh this is it looks a little like richard gear and pretty woman here right now uh yeah yeah dicky dicky gear and pretty woman richard gear in Pretty Woman right now.

1:01:08Dana Carvey:With Jules Roberts? With no gray hair. Like younger than that. Like early, like Officer and a Gentleman. I don't know why I just saw that. There's another great actor. Kind of unsung great actor. Where's he been? Hilarious. Richard Gere? No, he is a stud, yeah. Is that what you're talking about? He was great. He is fantastic. Unbelievable. Officer and a Gentleman on top of everything else. What's your go-to? I'm always so curious about movies that you love You don't have to say your best or whatever But movies that you would watch another time Maybe or something like that I'm just curious I'll throw out The Godfather just to start it Oh for sure The Godfather And the great thing about that is it's always on But I do love Chinatown And that is one of those ones where I feel like i still don't understand everything about it which is great yeah and like like yeah i think fay down away to fucking p cotton yeah james james khan wrote down to thief is supposed to get what about they're redoing heat i know i saw that but i think um i think what they're doing with heat was michael mann wrote a book which is a not a precursor whatever that word is but i believe that's what they're doing so it's like val kilmer's character when he was younger de niro character and i i read the book it is great oh the greatest thing about heat was i think that pacino when pacino went full sudden scream that was what are you gonna do you're going to make a move.

1:02:57Dana Carvey:I can't even. Was that in Kate Mandelini? That's brilliant. You know, Kate Mandelini. Yeah. That was that, that showdown between De Niro. The only scene De Niro and Pacino were in together. Yeah. Did you guys used to go to Kate Mandelini? I used to go there all the time. I'm so mad it's over with. Cause I know no one did anything with it. No, right across from Dana's manager's building. I'm going to lunch there for South Payne. I have a manager? What about you guys? What are a few of your guys' favorite movies that you can watch repeatedly? Yeah. You know, I love Soylent Green. I watched that recently.

1:03:42That's one. I don't know that I've ever seen it. I know what it's about. Don't tell me what it's about. Edward G.

1:03:48Dana Carvey:Robinson. I like science fiction. I know Soylent Green is people. Yeah. I mean, as far as... Yeah. Yeah, and Edward G. Robinson is so brilliant in that, and Charlton Heston. I love Planet of the Apes. I love 2001 Space Odyssey. As far as Redford in the 70s, some people don't like it, but I just look at Three Days of the Condor, the way we were. I look at all the president's men. I mean, his run in there all the way to the natural, and then the horse whisper, whatever. He's like underrated or something, but his charisma, especially three days the condor with fade done away. And one of the greatest moments when she says goodbye to him at the subway station.

1:04:31Dana Carvey:And he goes, just don't call any, I just need five minutes. And the hurt on her face is like as good as it gets, you know, it's like James Fonda and the China syndrome, you know, China center was unreal. Silkwood too. I mean, yeah. Silk, Silkwood's one of those ones. I've tried to find it to watch and it's not on Amazon you can't find it on YouTube I don't know Mike Nichols directed that that's a great one it's so cool I like those mysteries with big stars once upon a time in Hollywood I love some Tarantino you're always doing that that's a good plan where he's crying let's face it i'm a goddamn husband don't cry in front of the mexicans what that guy say to you i think there's a lot worse things than going to italy and make italian westerns i'm goddamn italian western how many you've seen one two let's face it i haven't been a stump man a long time and i like hanging out your haciana when you're out of town i'm brad pitt and there's no one cooler so fucking cut it quentin he's a good one no i memorized the whole movie i saw it 11 times i just love movies i love movies i think that was that was definitely uh a two two times in the theater for me which i had not done in a long time yeah you have to see it i love i love i love when you quote that dana and that's one that does have a lot of gold in it oh yeah it's it's it's magic one thing i was just I was so curious because you said a few minutes ago, like if you have nine months off, what do you do?

1:06:12Dana Carvey:Are you a painter? Are you an athlete? Are you, you know, what are you doing with your time off? What's your hobbies? What's your muse? I'm all of these things you mentioned. I'm a painter. I'm an athlete. Are you? Okay. I snorkel. I sail. Yeah. I think you are. You're a renaissance man. I've been sketching you this whole time we've been. That's funny. I don't call myself a Renaissance fan. Other people do. Yeah. These are other people's words. I do play a lot of golf and I go back to Texas a lot. I don't do it. I want to, as I've gotten older, I want to kind of try and do a better job traveling.

1:06:59like owen does a good job kind of going to you know different countries and stuff isn't he good at going alone i see him alone sometimes i'm like that's all i kind of would like to do that i do that more than most people but to travel alone i don't really do yeah i think he like you know i've been i've gone to london with him he's been like uh we got to go over to to dave's house i got to get my bike and i'll be like you you keep a bike in london same thing in Paris. I have to go to Javi's house. I've got to get my bike. You have a bike in Paris as well? Yeah.

1:07:38Dana Carvey:I hung out with him a little bit. He once said, you know, hey, you want to go to Argentina and surf? I go, I guess so. I'm thinking of going to Gelson's in a few minutes. Yeah, exactly. I know. Argentina is west of Texas. That's all I really do. Well, the only reason I bring up the artist thing is because I don't know if you heard this, but I was hanging out with Christopher Walken a while back, about a year ago. And I said, do you paint? And he just said, of course, all old actors paint. Like, it's of course you paint at a given point. You're too young. No, I haven't taken it up. But I mean, it is one of those things where I just always appreciate when, you know, anybody has, you know, I don't fly fish, but I know those guys.

1:08:26to do where you just yeah you know you just appreciate having something where you can kind of lose yourself for a few for a few hours yeah um uh but um like meditate so does this take us to buzzing around no i okay another thing one of my favorite things was when you guys were on bill mar recently and and and you could it was i i club random is great is great as well um where he interviews people and you know he yeah he smokes and he drinks on it yeah yeah you guys did seem to be his favorite guests and and um but it was funny at the end you know where he seemed kind of high and had a good buzz he was like i i could sit here and talk to you guys for two more hours and david said i gotta get to a dinner i had a hard hour i know i would have gone longer but yeah and he was serious but i was like that that would be a great way to leave a talk show like i uh actually got to hit it thanks for having me uh that had me laughing as much as anything because then he got really hurt he goes well and i go dana can stay i don't

1:09:49Dana Carvey:know my wife happened to be in i had to meet her and you know it just what happens is with these monologues these comedians like larry david and bill maher they just love old-timey impressions in illicit circumstances like they laugh forever i mean it's crazy how much they love that shit so i love to do it for them you know and he's a good laugher bill was funny bill's a good half asleep drunk and stone and laughing and it's just funny to he's a fun hangout yeah yeah he is it is different uh than he is on uh real time he's great on real time but he does seem like on club random like he is at home just catching a buzz with people and uh but he he really he no kidding he seemed to enjoy you guys more than any other guests i've ever seen on there even though i did notice david was a little more quiet than dana and reserved during that show bill was trying to kind of talk about you know you know being single and oh yeah i didn't like that he didn't like that david was david was not getting down with that i'm like bill i haven't seen you out in 10 years where where are you guys like this worst thing he's like we like the younger guy i'm like shut up right off the top right off the bat and david looked like suddenly like he was on 60 minutes he was just kind of turned into a statue i'm going bill just say you do i don't care but don't try he was definitely doing it like hey you and me we like and he's like we don't apologize guys i'm like me again am i still in this kind of ask asking dana like like he was an anthropologist about married life you know yeah i was like an exotic insect he's trying to understand you know 43 years you're telling me that when you walk in the door and it's the same woman you don't want to yeah what do you do then yes you don't want to do it like the end of five easy pieces and just get on a bus and leave like great reference five easy pieces funny take your ham sandwich that whole thing was fantastic i just want the bread so remove the bacon and the tomato between your best thing in the world is to be in some movie that people have seen and liked because it doesn't happen often but oh but like luke when people see you in movies you go i've watched that a hundred times and you go if this is anything like when i used to watch a movie then this is the ultimate compliment because i i know it's i just it's hard to get one right and being a good one i can never quite you know kind of accept it because i know how i feel about those movies and i just think how can they feel that it's it's like when um you know uh but yeah i i i know what you mean and you are and you are so lucky yeah to have people say you know you know we watch this you know me and my friends watch this once a month yeah um me and my dad watch it me and my kids watch you go fuck so which one is the biggest banger is it i mean tenner bombs for the costumes but is it some west movies or or that some of the some of the will ferrell sing it a little bit old school and those ones i think i think old school and and idiocracy and but but there's so funny there's somewhere like idiocracy just was such a flop when it came out you're then that's the feeling i have about it was just a failure yeah so then when people quote it to you say they love it you're something oh thank you thank you but there's still for me there's still the sadness there and even like where were you yeah yeah my judge right mike judge yeah yeah people mention a lot like this is like idiocracy like it keeps coming up people like this is they predicted this exactly and then so at least it made a dent that's all you want is some culty exactly and then now there's the last made a movie called the family stone so i'll have people say Me and my family, we watch that every year at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

1:14:14And you just can't. I don't believe it.

1:14:18Dana Carvey:I don't believe you. I have one called Trapped in Paradise where we just fell down in the snow for three months. Me, Nicolas Cage, and John Lovitz. I mean, people go, it's on our holiday list. I go, really? Let's unpack that. It doesn't even make sense. We're just falling down in the snow. nine weeks of nights for these guys on top of it being not well i mean i i just did two and a half weeks of nights it will make you feel like you've like you've lost your mind i and you know being older makes it so much harder i think i think i did i think i did a month of nights you know when i was like 28 or something and you know just yeah you're so lost you know when you get home people are going to bed you're right going to work doesn't right it's so weird i mean i've got some nights coming up usually if i'm part of the writing we troubleshoot the script for nights we go this is a bar tonight it could be in the day or not could anything be in the day and it still makes sense right it doesn't need to be night yeah okay it makes a big difference and everyone's fucking out of it yeah people get people get loopy and you know that then it does yeah it's and then you get home and it's it's a very odd feeling unsettling to me almost when you're trying to go to bed and that yeah exactly just for uh just for a second ago i mean what i remember telling john voik he's hanging out in new york for a while when i was doing this and got to know him and it's talking about coming home and the champ and so again don't have to know oh sorry john void and deliverance and stuff and the only thing he said was you know we worked really hard on those movies really hard so he didn't he didn't disown them or go yeah it was pretty good but deliverance is one of those movies hard to watch in a way because but it's um you know and that guy who who had his way with uh who's the actor ned baity he was at he was at a gym i used to go to in la for a while and he would do that to you no he tried but no but he said that he had a problem with it i thought it was fine but he had a problem with it you know i'm sure he did yeah that's something like hey we just wrote this at video village ned we're gonna throw something at you let's try it.

1:16:44Dana Carvey:Gilbert Godfrey had that great bit where they're trying to get Ned Beatty out of the trailer to shoot the scene. Ned, Ned, we're ready on set. Ned. So anyway, if you don't know the movie, look it up kids. It's great. John Borman, I think from that, and it was from a, from a, from a James Dickey. The book is great. Um, remember that name, Lewis. Lewis. Yeah. Yeah. And of course, Burt Reynolds in that was so awesome. Yeah. Remember what you were saying about coming home and it being hard work? Because I do remember, you know, John Boyt reading that he spent a lot of time with, excuse me, a lot of time with Vietnam vets and that great speech he gives to the high school.

1:17:33I think a lot of that he kind of made up and it was kind of unscripted. scripted and that's that's another one of those hal ashby classics like you mentioned ones you can watch over and over like the last detail and yeah um but yeah i don't i don't mean to keep no i i don't i don't mean to keep you guys i i feel like bill moore i could talk to you guys i got a dinner that's when david david says i have a lunch actually down at craig's i can't be at craig's craig's doesn't open till five you gotta i gotta get there and get in line just so
