Martin Short Got Eddie Vedder to Quit Smoking???

5:29David Spade:hey David I can hear you great good good you know eddie i have a cool hat like that too we've traded hats before are you sure yeah

5:43Eddie Vedder:there it is you still got it wow it's a little it's a little sweaty because as you can see because i'm a bit of a rocker and sometimes i sweat when i'm working we're kind of rockers too in a way i mean not in the way you are but you know oh i would say absolutely you are no no

6:01Dana Carvey:nope we're never we're i guess that's the pinnacle in a way as a little kid of just in a band i mean i was in a band with my brother you know i had a hardy boys book as a snare and a kick drum was a basket and a one-string guitar we all start out that way and then at some point we go um maybe not my when the money's not flowing when the money's no i got out of that in high school but what about what do you want to talk about would you like to talk about your netflix special first you could do you can run this show any way you want yeah and then we'll um

6:39David Spade:well you know what i mean the as heartbreaking as the the eb uh subject can be um though also hopeful. Another heartbreaking thing that has been on my mind was the loss of Catherine O 'Hara. And I just wanted to look up chills already. I'm, you know, really only having

7:05Eddie Vedder:met her five different times over the years, you know, and compared to the way you know

7:14David Spade:her. Even I was just absolutely gutted and I just I wished all the people that had never had the chance to be in her presence and to have a laugh and she was everything and more that you'd expect or dream of her being. She was just such an incredible energy, and that loss is so profound, and that's why that's been on my mind. For sure.

7:50Eddie Vedder:Yeah, over here, too, with me and Dana. Yeah. Dana spent more time with her than I did, but, man, you can't find anyone that doesn't love Catherine O 'Hara out there.

7:59Dana Carvey:Yeah, and just an effortless, brilliant performer, are always making the choice you don't expect making her peers laugh and the whole world laugh and her presence just no apparent ego or whatever you call that i mean she knew who she was but it's just i don't know if it's canadian or what there's john candy and others they're just sort of yeah extra extra um and um so marty as well marty short yeah another yeah i was another home i guess it's okay to say or memorial at the uh catholic church this past weekend and it was really really uh emotional and marty gave the eulogy and he was um special yeah funny and and And yeah, they always got to make some jokes because it's so heavy.

8:55Dana Carvey:It's so hard because you would want it that way. I mean, they, you know, comedians kind of, you know, want the music to carry on, really. Of course, we're all sad, but we have all this stuff of her brilliance to share for a long time, forever.

9:14David Spade:I heard her sister was in attendance, obviously, but Mary Margaret. Yeah. who's put out some great music that, um, affected me deeply.

9:26Dana Carvey:Oh, really?

9:28David Spade:Yeah. She had a great album, probably even in the late eighties. I think Michael Stipe helped with it. Um, it was called Miss America. Um, yeah, there's a, if you watch David Sanborn used to have a show, was it, ah, David Sanborn.

9:46Eddie Vedder:Yeah.

9:46David Spade:I remember that late show and he'd get all these interesting musicians together. and she um i think the song's called when you know but if you look up her on on that show it's such a such a cool performance and you can see the sisterhood there it is it's kind of interesting we have this in our world too because i was looking up some of you know the the bands of the

10:13Dana Carvey:90s in seattle and all that and and just i was just going to say and then it had a list of like 50 other what they were calling grunge, which I want to ask you about the names of rock over the years, punk and grunge and hard rock, alternative rock. You must have known and know so many bands that didn't break through, quote unquote, and maybe that wasn't even their goal. The goal for me was always that this would be my job and I'll see how it goes. That was the dream. What about you?

10:45David Spade:well oh and before i forget night music was the name of the david samberg night music wherever

10:52Dana Carvey:you get your david samberg night music variety shows well you know i kind of my main after i

11:03David Spade:graduated from things like jackson 5 and motown when i was a kid and then i had kind of some older brothers um because i was in a group home thing that my parents helped run so then i was turned on to a lot of sly family stone and james brown and kind of more adult uh motown music and stacks and all that and then and then there was you know kind of beatles but then it became the Who and the kinks and to the jam. And so, so the, but the sixties British stuff and stones, et cetera, you know, that seemed like the most exciting time to be alive. You know, when I was 15 listening to, uh, enveloped and engrossed in all that British invasion stuff.

12:00David Spade:it seemed like Tuesday nights at the marquee for the who and you know all those bands getting together or Hendrix showing up and blowing everybody's minds yeah that seemed like the coolest time to be alive and you would read about it and think if I what it would have been like to you know I was born too late you know if you could have and then in the wrong place if you wanted to be part of what was kind of one of the most, if not the most extraordinary periods of music. And then kind of waking up one day, I remember almost to the day, waking up and looking around and all of a sudden being part of a scene, a legitimate scene that was a community and was all very supportive of each other.

13:00David Spade:And so of all the bands of note, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains, and then first there was Mother Love Bone, which turned into Pearl Jam, but was Green River before that. and then Green River, half of it turned into Mudhoney. Mudhoney, yeah. It's like the Fastbacks and the U-Men and, you know, these groups that didn't quite. Different levels. Yeah. Well, and I, Dana, you mentioned it, you know, maybe that wasn't part of either their goal or their ambition because to be honest, there was a real thing in Seattle where ambition was kind of looked down upon.

13:46Dana Carvey:I could see that. That's what the vibe was from afar. We're not trying to be cool or commercial. We got something to say.

13:55Eddie Vedder:It actually hurts us the bigger we get. I mean, you guys took off. It seemed so fast. It probably was not as fast.

14:02Dana Carvey:I don't know if anyone had a bigger first album. I mean, it's sort of like,

14:06Eddie Vedder:like just was 91 that out because there was i looked up in 91 some monster albums came out in one year and i think you probably heard this but it was like nirvana pearl jam um i think it was maybe metallica van halen guns and roses use your illusion i was like shocked by how many bangers in a row in an eight-month period came out and uh we tried to slurp them all over to snl we didn't get everybody but one of my early shows was you got pearls yeah sharon stone show yeah

14:43David Spade:sharon stone phil was alive phil hartman oh yeah uh i still had a good you had a good pocket there when you got on yeah like why do you have something with phil you got a photo uh polaroid uh was love it's and phil sitting at the end of the night and um i came across those recently and and it was powerful to see and you know not only having been like a devotee of the show since staying up late when I was 12 or whatever it was. It was just such a formidable yet completely enjoyable experience to actually, you know, be in those hallowed halls. And I still remember making friends with a couple of the old dudes, you know, the crew guys or the guy who sits silver chair with the Saturday night kind of calligraphy on the back.

15:50Eddie Vedder:And, you know,

15:53David Spade:going back and seeing those people over the years was always real exciting, you know, or getting to meet Don Pardo or, you know, all that stuff is.

16:07Eddie Vedder:You came on twice and I saw in my deep research, even though i know you a little bit but um i think the second time you came on you got three songs that is so rare is that true because i think you had maybe better man or daughter something you had three and the first time it was alive and something else and i thought holy shit look at this spoiled dude you get three they roll in with i forgot about that yeah yeah it's a big deal it

16:36David Spade:was to us we were like shit man i don't think they told us until after the first rehearsal show right so you do a first show at six or something yeah we're dressed here so yeah in between they said oh do you want to do one more so what anything else what that means is um one or two of the the skits or whatever what yeah gap girls got cut for you thank you so i don't think it was based on what we were offering i think it was the lack of

17:15Eddie Vedder:good sketches yeah everything bombed us yeah we bombed doing news at that point was it norm was norm doing the news it's a good question because it was 91 and 93 it was probably

17:27David Spade:was kevin nealon and then kevin oh might have been kevin yeah yeah might have been the end of

17:33Eddie Vedder:Dennis on the first one because 91, that was probably my first year.

17:37Dana Carvey:Yeah.

17:38Eddie Vedder:And Eddie and I are very close to the same age. We won't say any numbers out there, but.

17:42Dana Carvey:Yeah.

17:43Eddie Vedder:You had a birthday recently and I was like, okay.

17:46Dana Carvey:I'm a half step up.

17:48Eddie Vedder:I was at the house one.

17:50Dana Carvey:I'm a half step up. So when I heard the 90s sound come in and from Seattle, let's say, it did feel like something new, its own little mini renaissance. It was different. You know, there were hair bands in the 80s and stuff. There was, I don't know, it was a different sound, which I appreciated a lot. I just love hard rock. I love whatever you guys were doing. I mean, but I was -

18:13Eddie Vedder:You put poison out of business.

18:15Dana Carvey:Poison? Well, whatever. We don't want to pick on those bands, but you know what?

18:19Eddie Vedder:It was sort of a shift.

18:20Dana Carvey:It was a shift. It was very cool.

18:25Eddie Vedder:The Emmy-winning comedy Scrubs is back to ABC with a fresh pulse. It's been 15 years since we've checked in with the gang at Sacred Heart Hospital The beloved original cast, Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalk Scrub back in Older and maybe wiser Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley also reprised their iconic roles And scrub fans, you'll be thrilled to see some of your fan-favorite characters pop up Though we can't reveal any names just yet After creating hits like Ted Lasso and Shrinking Executive producer Bill Lawrence has put together a diverse, talented group of writers to bring to life the Scrubs universe of today.

19:01Eddie Vedder:And there's a healthy injection of super funny, colorful new characters, including a fresh group of newbie interns and co-workers slash nemeses like Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster.

19:13Dana Carvey:The new season of Scrubs, new Wednesdays at 8, 7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.

19:19Eddie Vedder:The Emmy-winning comedy Scrubs is back. The beloved original cast, including Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalk, Judy Reyes, and John C. McGinley, Scrub it back in at Sacred Heart Hospital for all new hilarious and heartfelt stories. And there's a healthy injection of colorful new characters, including a fresh group of newbie interns and coworkers slash nemeses, Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster.

19:45Dana Carvey:The new season of Scrubs, new Wednesdays at 8, 7 central on ABC and stream on Hulu. There's only two things I wanted to ask you very quickly, just about because I heard about The Who and Neil Young. you maybe like them, but I thought of Roger Daltrey and you, and I did connect the dots between there's some symmetry there with a big voice and also can go really soft. So who's next? The, the a side is maybe as good as anything that's ever been recorded in my mind. And then Neil Young was maybe the father of grunge with Russ never sleeps. Um, or Hey, Hey, my, my electric. You know, so I heard you love those two things.

20:34Dana Carvey:So I just wanted to co-sign that.

20:36David Spade:Well, yeah, I think Neil has been given the moniker of Godfather of Grunge, not just because of the flannel, but because of the sound. Yeah. And his sound up close. You know, one of the very fortunate things, having worked with him and playing live is the sound of his amp up close. It's like standing next to an erupting volcano or the biggest wave at YMA Bay crashing onto the shore. And then he seems to kind of lose himself in this way where he kind of starts shape-shifting and kind of turns into like a shaman. And then he seems like he's an old Indian. And then he turns into like a young kid.

21:32David Spade:And you're like in the cage with the lion. And it's, it's, it will vibrate your souls, your cells.

21:44Dana Carvey:It's unique because he looks like he's almost struggling or sort of spastic in a way when he gets into that trance. And then when I listened to his solo on quartets, the killer, which I got to hang out them a few times and told them what it meant to me, how that song, first of all, it's like, and then his solo in that and no one plays like neil there's others equally brilliant but he has his

22:09David Spade:own lane it's this magic you know magic yeah he he channels you know he really channels and and in order to do that you have to be in tune to you know the energy the you know whatever's out there um and that's a that's a skill in itself you know beyond you know the notes seem to come not from

22:36Dana Carvey:a scale they seem to come from a yeah divine to stay a child or be in touch with that when your higher consciousness hadn't kicked in and you're just being playful like a four-year-old drawing and yet you're a human adult and then when you get in touch with that that part of you boy it's a lot of a creative explosion but neil always felt like he he was there somehow it's like a child up there in a way in the purest form well in the way you just explained it i i think of some of the stuff we watch you guys do you know there's still that playful and improvisational

23:20David Spade:You know, you could say it's from doing a lot of reps, but it's also I think it comes from, you know, being still having maintained that freedom and flexibility. Sure. of you know because then that's what becomes you know so funny and and so spot on or or so quick

23:51Eddie Vedder:yeah you can i think like music and stand-up as you know it's probably similar in the way that i could do a show and in three nights same theater and then they're all just a hair different and no one really noticed but i can tell this crowd is a little like this i was more like this i kind of adapted to that and it's funny how they can be a little different every night and maybe it's not as noticeable to people but maybe it is but i think that's what music is it's still the same set i'm still doing what i'm doing like you're going to do the same set list let's say but you can tell some nights are a little different and you're just you're rolling with something a little harder you're getting into something a little different that you have before and that's kind of the fun of it it's not just a rubber stamping it's it's

24:37David Spade:it can be it can go almost anywhere and do you get nervous before you play yeah i still do uh dana doesn't get as nervous but well uh when you're dancing for your donuts like you're

24:53Dana Carvey:auditioning for lauren michaels and and you're 30 years old that's a different kind of nervousness but now I do feel responsibility for to I as comedians we're supposed to kill quote unquote we're supposed to destroy we're supposed to levitate the room this is slay and I think that yeah I don't know if you have this but you've if the night's a little bit off the voice in the back of your head is is still giving yourself notes a little bit while you're singing while they're playing you're doing pretty good you're doing pretty good that's not going well when that goes dead quiet then you're in the zone and nothing matters except expressing the rhythm of the words that you want to do in that moment or if it's non-verbal which is even better and yeah you want to get to that playful state and you don't always get to it that's why when it happens have you had a moment like that in the studio or a live recording where you just went to another place and then you listen yourself back and you go man i was they call it being in the zone

25:56David Spade:you know it's just it's fun yeah there was a vocal on the last uh not the last record it was

26:05Dana Carvey:a solo record called earthling but um yes 2022 andrew wyatt ringo elton john and stevie wonder andrew what yeah andrew wyatt he records every album chad smith and um but it was funny i found

26:22David Spade:out later there was one of the vocals it was put together of two vocals and one was at about five in the afternoon or evening and then the other one was at 10 once we got it put together you can't tell the difference but the one at 10 i was pretty hammered

26:46David Spade:yeah we get that and um it was kind of amazing and and i was in a different form of being in the zone you know i was just feeling it and and by that time the words and the phrasing had come together um but i was just uh so i remember that or I remember not remembering that. Yeah, that's good. And then hearing it back, I thought, wow, that's pretty cool and didn't realize that they had been five hours apart, but they actually sounded...

27:24Eddie Vedder:Could you tell the difference in listening to it?

27:27David Spade:No, I couldn't. I was surprised to hear that it was the two.

27:33Dana Carvey:You know, listening to your speaking voice, It's kind of your singing voice. I wonder when the first time you went, holy shit, I can sing. Because it is a voice. You have a good voice. You're one of the voices. Yeah, yeah. It hasn't happened yet.

27:49David Spade:That's also good. We all think everything is - You're still blossoming?

27:53Dana Carvey:Sure.

27:53David Spade:This is very nice to hear. I'll take that. I have some more compliments. You're the voice.

28:00Dana Carvey:I mean, you could just go on Google and Google your name. Who are the voices?

28:04Eddie Vedder:I was guessing top rock voices and I scribbled some down, but I don't know if you'll agree, but I was like, mine are right. So you guys can agree or not. I hope Betty's on the list. I mean, I don't know. We'll see. Tiny Tim.

28:22David Spade:We're going back. And then I got a shot. If you start with Tiny Tim, I think I might have a chance.

28:27Dana Carvey:Tiny Tim got mentioned on the podcast. That is a first.

28:31Eddie Vedder:Tiny Tim was the very app. carrot top of his yeah no i uh i you know what one i know the ones that get mentioned a lot i mean axel's got a very unique voice uh robert plant of course the basics but bond scott would

28:45David Spade:you give it up for bond scott oh yeah absolutely sickening dana i love bond scott and it was so

28:51Eddie Vedder:hard to replace acdc still crushed it after but god dang mm-hmm bon scott was so interesting There's Bowie, Steve Perry, curveball, but Steve Perry.

29:01Dana Carvey:Or what Ernie was and the notes that that guy hit. Yeah.

29:05Eddie Vedder:It's like pretty impressive. Eddie, you agree. I'm not saying even. Sting has a very unique voice. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, Sting's voice can cut through the clouds.

29:22David Spade:And, you know, he does some early stuff. sometimes friends will come over and i'll play him stuff they have never heard uh he worked with this german guy called eberhard schoner and he just does some insane stuff with his it at one point he basically sings the phone book meaning an article in a san francisco paper or something yeah and what he does with it is so extraordinary you look at not to mention incredible bass player

29:50Dana Carvey:yeah because he's always in the pocket he's not outside of it he's not he's just it's he's simple for himself he says that but i when i listen to synchronicity and the police and i hear steward copeland and i'm going they're doing reggae rock jazz yeah yeah yeah and just copeland you know

30:10Eddie Vedder:and of course sting very casual drummer that was i think he was there then very i think i was a starstruck because i was like oh shit is that stewart copeland i never see wasn't ringo and

30:21Dana Carvey:stewart copeland there you told me and i was so jealous at one of the events actually that was my

30:26David Spade:that was uh my birthday last year were they your birthday gift

30:34Eddie Vedder:it was quite peppered with musicians that were okay lots of head turners but by the way back the EB events, I think, you know, a lot of great people play these events for EB, which you work tirelessly with. And it's such a great event. And it's such an important, you know, thing to help. And we meet the kids. And they always, the performances are great. The kids are always so friendly and sweet. They're having the toughest time out there, which we can talk about. um but some of those nights i even think um i think i did it once i think dana might have done it zach galfanakis uh always good there's always like comedy and music i think chris cornell maybe one night uh in the old days so we are very blessed with those parties but they're very very actually important events which ties into this documentary about eb that dana and i are watching It's very, very strong stuff and it's very pulls at the heartstrings.

31:38Eddie Vedder:I will say that.

31:41David Spade:Well, we're really feeling fortunate that it was that it's now out there on Netflix.

31:49Dana Carvey:I think you mentioned Netflix matter of time. That's all you have to matter of time. Matter of time.

31:56David Spade:Yeah, it will serve as an education. Anybody who asks has curiosity. Anybody who asks us about what is epidermolysis bullosa, what is this EB, this can forever serve as the answer to all the questions. and you really get to know not only the kids and their families and the challenges, but you get to meet these incredible people working on this whole community's behalf, meaning the researchers and the genetic scientists, genetic researchers. You know, they say this thing about heroes, something like, you know, heroes aren't made. It's more people faced with, you know, incredible circumstances or facing difficult consequence.

33:05David Spade:And that is where these heroes are born. And this film is really full of them because you see how heroic and courageous these kids are.

33:18Eddie Vedder:Oh, my God.

33:19David Spade:You see what the families go through, what the siblings go through. and you also see that these genetic researchers going at it day after day with the funding that's provided to them through these fundraisers.

33:43David Spade:It's such a... I'm so glad you get to know these people on a personal level because you see it's not just people in lab coats. you know, punching the clock. This is, this is their life's work. They're, they're dreaming about it. They're coming to work each day, thinking about the new approach, trial and error. They feel so close, you know, it's a monogenic condition, meaning it's just one mutated gene in the DNA. They've isolated that gene. So now they're just trying to, you know, be able to fix that. And, you know, the hope on the horizon is not only would it, that process when they figured out how to unlock this key, it would not only, you know, we're on the forefront, you know we're like on the runway uh at this time of um genetic research uh eb in particular but once that lifts off it'll help thousands and thousands of other uh genetic skin disorders

34:58Eddie Vedder:yeah yeah because the half the kids first of all when i see them i'd see a lot of the same ones every year at the event and um and always upbeat always cool kids always fun um up for having a good time i know they don't get to do that much fun stuff it's just even some of the scientists and doctors are saying when they get stuck they go we have these breakthroughs then and then when it's stuck you're just really helping with the pain it's not really helping them you're just like they have to take bandages off put them back it's just pain and it's just so hard to be a parent to watch that and I can't imagine so you're doing a good thing and everyone over there obviously Jill your wife is working hard and just to be a part of it and we get to go just once a year and help or different little events you have but man I'm telling you they deserve a break that's for

35:50David Spade:sure well in this film is about uh it was two years ago we um we really wanted to get the whole community together in Seattle. It was a whole day full of symposiums. It was basically an EB summit with doctors, donors, families. And then the music was just supposed to be kind of a reason to get together around the campfire at the end of the night. And I will say it was difficult. The songs had more weight looking out in the crowd and seeing my friends, the doctors, seeing my friends, the families, and the kids. It became very emotional, And they filmed it and really not thinking, you know, we were just kind of trying to document it.

36:53David Spade:But then the more we saw, and then this great filmmaker, Matt Finland, who we were working with, another great Canadian, he was able to, and I can't think of anybody else who could have done this. really because he had been working with EB stuff and with us for probably about five years at that point but at that point knowing the sensibilities the families knowing them personally and he was able to kind of ask them to be part of their lives and and film some things that were uncomfortable and film some instances that would take courage to allow it to be filmed. And it's really a great testament.

37:47Eddie Vedder:It's a wake-up call for people to watch it, you know. So I think it's necessary sometimes to say, this is really what's going on here.

37:55David Spade:Yeah, because I don't, you know, even a few of the folks that came to, have come to the events, over the years, the ones at Gervet's house in California, they didn't really understand it until the film. So that kind of reminds you that there was a lot of education that seems to be welcome now that people are seeing it. We're getting so much good feedback already. For sure.

38:30Dana Carvey:It's very interesting that it's one gene, you know, because I'm sort of casually know a cardiologist, P.K. Shaw, at Cedars-Sinai, and he's in their research labs. And a lot of times it's like 20 different genes, 30 different genes, but just one gene. I'm very hopeful. I'm hoping that AI, for whatever monstrosity it may bring to us, is also going to go, you know, make these.

38:58Eddie Vedder:Do some good, yeah.

38:59Dana Carvey:forward and i'm hoping that within five or ten years cancer is pretty much fixed and i pray that this one is too yeah you know and many other scleroderma which is an autoimmune disease primarily but it reminds me of that because david and i i went to a few of those with bob sagat sagat and when you see a child pretty little girl in a wheelchair and then she has a pink bow in her hair you just it's very it's so i mean i had hard both bob sagan and i god rest his soul we were just done after that we had to go up and do comedy but it was just like yeah so the the documentary i'm sure is just completely heart-wrenching but you can't ever bang the drum hard enough for the amount of suffering that happens ad hoc around the world you know these parents just this just happened and so i couldn't respect you more for taking this on not for a day or a week i think it's been 15 years of this foundation and so kudos to you thank you

40:07David Spade:well thank it's a good team it's a great board uh we do something called venture philanthropy um which is a newer model so if we fund research and something happens because of the research positive. And for example, you talked about pain earlier, David, you know, we've been able to come out with now three FDA approved treatments, not cures, but just treatments for the pain, for the wounds. Great. It's gene therapy, which is a newer thing. And, you know, what you said, we might be in that perfect, you know, there is a wave of technology, even going back five, seven years, you know, computing power really helped, you know, map the human genome, etc.

41:05David Spade:So, you know, it being a single mutation, you know, we're lucky in that way, because think of all the variables with the 20, as you mentioned. Yeah. But this hopefully would be, well, it is the start to cracking these codes.

41:29Dana Carvey:Yeah, it's a hopeful time in medicine for sure. Yeah. We're in a fashion with all this new stuff. Time shift.

41:37Eddie Vedder:Well, those parties are curvices. The fundraisers are great. Everyone has a good time in spite of what's going on, but we hope the kids come and get a breather. I know there's a lot of celebrities. We don't have to name them all, but there's a lot of people that really show up and help out. And, and I think it's fun for everybody. So people should watch the documentary.

41:57Dana Carvey:Everyone watch the documentary and they'll know if they want to make a donation. Is it there? Or we can also put it in our intro or talk about it now, you know?

42:08David Spade:Yeah. I'm not sure if the information, I think it's more, if you look it up, It's just it stands as a film on its own. And EBRP, excuse me, EBRP is the name of the organization. And like I said, we have we've been able to streamline the book, you know, all the. All the things that that you want in an organization, including, I will say, these angel donors that come in and just take care of all the administrative costs for every year. which means all of these funds that are raised go direct to research.

46:32Eddie Vedder:I have another question before I get rid of you. Song Sung Blue. Look who's in it. Not really Eddie Vedder, but... Vedder Eddie. Incredible simulation. Yeah. Did you see it yet, Eddie?

46:50David Spade:That was a surprise. Well, they sent me the script.

46:52Eddie Vedder:That was a surprise. Yeah, that is. Yeah.

46:55David Spade:But it was really, they were really sweet people to know and a story worth telling. And, you know, you talk about going from playing drums on your mom's cookbook to, you know, this guy, Lightning, he had a dream and he wasn't going to let it go. And it was, again, very, you know, what I will say is that to think that years after he passed, you know, his spirit has to be out there somewhere knowing and just inflated with pride, knowing that not just they made a film, but fucking Hugh Jackman plays him. It's pretty amazing. I couldn't imagine. Couldn't imagine. Yeah, for sure. And Kate Hudson's amazing as Claire.

48:01David Spade:She's really amazing.

48:02Eddie Vedder:Yeah, I'm in the middle of it. I didn't even know it was real. I'm in the middle of it just thinking I like Neil Diamond. I sang one of his songs in one of my movies. I went and saw him in concert. And I was like, oh, this sounds like it's up my alley, just on the peripheral. And then here comes Eddie Vedder calling him. But I didn't know that was real either. So I found out later it was real. You did call.

48:23David Spade:yeah they they they were uh i knew this other man someone you heard about you just heard that they were out there it was kind of funny and they were doing and you're like let's bring them out well milwaukee had this interesting uh little scene of of odd acts uh another one was called the frogs, which was a two man, two brothers that would play songs like Adam and Steve,

48:57David Spade:you know, drink, dress up in pink sailor suits. It was a thing. But Nirvana loved them. This friend of ours, Bob Whitaker, Mudhoney, we loved them. And I think they turned us on to lightning and thunder and you just wanted them to you know another guy wesley willis willis out of chicago you know you had an opportunity because the light was shining on you to to share that light yeah with some very cool folks that you thought deserved it um Um, and you know, it wasn't always easy, uh, because then they might think like, oh, you know, here we go. And it's not, you know, it's hard. You, uh, you know, you hope they can handle it.

49:54Right.

49:55Eddie Vedder:So nutty. I mean, you called him, that's a big deal. Then Hugh Jackman plays him down the line, but you just never know. it's such an odd business and they're in front of a big crowd for you guys and you did he call you to did he ask you to sing with him is that what it was and that was real uh backstage yeah i think

50:11David Spade:he asked um and that's how it's depicted something like that and then you go out there and sing with him which is what a blast yeah yeah they were they were very sweet and it was a big crowd for them and um and that was that was nice their their their cup was filled for a little bit there um and then that that movie is filled with uh you know there's some combustion you know accidents happen in their lives and and uh they have to deal with that and you know it's a real story yeah very interesting dana you don't know we were gonna we were gonna yeah for a moment i was

50:52Dana Carvey:excited for us oh yeah yeah i couldn't believe you were even possibly going to do that with me i was eddie vetter i want to see it chopping broccoli and i was trying to think of how to do it you know because it's at you know that what it wasn't it wasn't within a sketch i used to do it in my stand-up back just solo with a little piano if there was one available but yeah i guess you You were going to, maybe I was going to start and then you were going to come out and she'd chop and then kind of wail. She'd chop with your pipes, chopping broccoli, man. Hysterical. Yeah. We'll get to it.

51:29Eddie Vedder:Maybe one day. Yeah. Yeah.

51:32Dana Carvey:But yeah, that would have been a blast. Well, I can't sing. I mean, I'm a comedian. I can fake sing.

51:39David Spade:No, you could sing.

51:41Dana Carvey:I think you can sing.

51:43Eddie Vedder:Yeah, yeah, yeah.

51:44Dana Carvey:now i can sing a little like neil because just because for whatever reason but a lot of people can but um but i can't when you see a real singer you know it's like a real drummer i fake it at a lot of things when you see a real talent in in music kind of like okay that was not my calling but but thank you but we would have rocked it and i would have blown you away but my point is this

52:10David Spade:eddie well the thing is i agreed to to work with you and then next thing you know they had me dressed up as a pirate oh that's right in the new york no were you in the broadway

52:28Dana Carvey:you were on the friday night show uh was it a radio city musical or where was it i went to that yeah yeah it was really you were in the pirate sketch yeah well they had a few a few band lady

52:42Eddie Vedder:gaga and yeah there's a bunch of people in there i remember that yeah lady gaga i was at that show it was a fucking great that one they should have aired i guess after they probably couldn't because all the music but it was cool as shit that was good and we were going to do tom petty at one of

53:00David Spade:the shows uh oh we were maybe one of the bill mars show yeah no at your at your birthday

53:08Eddie Vedder:i was i said or bill maher ruined it because he said hey are you gonna stick around i said yeah i think we're all gonna sing and then and then he said and we have to leave and he goes no eddie's not gonna sing he said you shouldn't stick around because he's not gonna think we're wrapping up because so the cake came up and then he goes everyone's taking off why is he sabotaging me we were going to sing tom petty and so i left and then honestly an hour later adam called and said hey where are you you're up and i go i thought everyone left and then who got to steal my tom

53:48David Spade:petty song with you was it you know i think because you weren't there we just didn't do it

53:54Eddie Vedder:oh good you know what it's not the same yeah adam can sing though adam's good adam's eddie could play guitar yeah yeah yeah he was yeah he wanders life is all green lights my god

54:08David Spade:and he can write yeah he can write i know but no he can really play yeah that's a fun thing we all

54:16Eddie Vedder:i think we all i think we're in seattle doing a gig was norm there when you came out to see sandler's tour and seab do you remember that i think norm was there there's been a couple but norm yeah eddie came out and uh did some who song and then we're like okay here's a real singer here we go oh i forgot about that we did can't explain i think oh yeah i forgot about that maybe hard to cut i think so i think that's where i snaked that hat i think where is it we could be twinning right now it's so similar to that it's the exact same it might have the writing up yeah yours looks a little newer you gave me the cheap one but uh anyway dana you'll have to you'll have to come out with me and eddie one day it's it's complicated i'd like to be a fly on the wall

55:01David Spade:or just listen to music i'd love to listen to the beatles with with dana are you kidding i

55:08Dana Carvey:that would be a dream i'm so uh i'm not alone in this but i'm equally as possessed as conan o 'brien or J.J. Abrams or my brothers. How are you around? How can you do it? How can you be around Paul? I just think that what happened in that Renaissance decade, and I love their early stuff because people say, well, later on they got better. I go, no, no, no. They were the best two-minute pop band in history. Then those guys extrapolated into Strawberry Fields Fields and Penny Lane as a double A side single. So I can't ever wrap my mind around. Don't even get me started on the Beatles. Crazy. I just, you know.

55:57David Spade:Did you, just by random chance, did you hear the, Ringo is nice enough to come play. We were talking about that solo record a minute ago. um earthlings and ringo came we were thinking well this really needs like a ringo type thing and then andrew watt next thing you know had him on the phone we're going over to his house to have him play it and um it was it was it was so crazy because it literally right before our eyes and he's such a young presence and energy anyway but he he looked like he was 25 years old you know

56:37Eddie Vedder:certain style and you go oh my god unmistakable yeah he's got that shoulder roll and he didn't

56:46Dana Carvey:always go for the splash he loves the toms and he gets in the pocket and this i don't even know this is true but you maybe you'd tell me so andrew wyatt was at the sno party and jimmy fallon's there name drops you know and they're going we're big beetle fans we're talking about abbey road you know and they're like oh yeah we're big beetle fans abbey road and i go have you heard revolver and i think both of them said yeah and i'm really familiar you know and andrew too i go you guys haven't heard revolver and you're beetle fans but anyway um that that blew my mind but um i don't have a favorite i think every album is just something magical you know you know my

57:26David Spade:uncle had a uh a memorex tape you know those strange little cassettes that was like an l and it said it just said revolver white album and that was one of my like first forays into the heavy stuff oh just to hear it over and over over and over and i thought it was all one album although you know white album and revolver that's that's um that's a heavy listen you can trip out as a 12

57:53Dana Carvey:year old yeah obviously tomorrow never knows but sexy sadie happiness is a warm gun these are kind

58:00David Spade:of these lenny just what do you ever you call them bungalow bill bungalow bill yeah yeah um

58:08Dana Carvey:it never ends dear prudence uh eleanor incredible um and your bird can sing two minutes of brilliance you know in harmony julia i think julia's in there yeah there's another lenin it's uh you know

58:30Eddie Vedder:um all right let's let eddie go he seems like a nice guy do you have any last words for us

58:35Dana Carvey:yeah anything you want to tell us eddie before you sum up here he comes oh shoot well you know

58:42David Spade:I will. I was thinking about Marty and Martin Short. And I heard he was magnificent at the service. But I was going to share with you this funny thing that happened during COVID. but this is how quick we were talking about how quick people are and but so present company me excluded but then Marty Marty calls up about four months into COVID just out of the blue and he says well hello Eddie I was just I was just checking in to see how my young friend is doing and he said how are you young man and i said you know i'm actually a little frustrated with myself because what had happened when covid hit and i smoke and drink and and i thought oh jesus christ you know this is it if it's a lung thing it's a respiratory thing like i gotta drop this quick Like I'm going to die from this, some crazy fucking, so totally quit feeling pretty good.

1:00:05David Spade:And then about four or five months in something started happening. I stressed out. Now I'm having a couple of smokes and now I'm having, so Marty said, I said, well, I'm, I'm frustrated with myself. I'm smoking again. You know, I'd quit cause of COVID. He said, Oh, what are you, are you smoking? Are you talking pot or cigarettes? I said, I said cigarettes he said oh are you still waiting for more literature on that

1:00:38David Spade:and that and that was the last time I ever had a cigarette really just like that oh I want to agree maybe not really but it makes for it makes for a better story

1:00:49Eddie Vedder:you should never talk to him again because he ended on such a hit that's a great one oh no he's full

1:00:55David Spade:of them.

1:00:56Eddie Vedder:He's full of them. We love them. One talk show appearance. He's got about 30 of those.
