Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00One of my favorite things we've ever created for this podcast was a set of custom t-shirts for our team. Remember that? We had the hoodies, we had the sweats. When that arrived, I remember seeing everyone put it on thinking, this is really happening. We're a small business now. Yes. Yes. It's one of those small moments that makes all the hard work feel worth it. And Vistaprint made it effortless.
0:23Dana Carvey:Look at these. Oh, yeah. Running a podcast is like running any small business. You're juggling a million things at once. You're juggling Dana and all his stuff and this and that and this with Dana and his problems. Vistaprint helps take the stress out of looking professional.

What's the matter with you? Get printing. I just have to tell you, Dana, there's something I'm excited about. now you remember we talked about jury duty the show oh yeah yeah yeah and that one i saw it on tiktok and then it was kind of a word of mouth thing it blew up it was funny and uh it actually all pulled together which i was shocked they pulled that thing together yeah uh and i was like will they do it again and they did cool i think that's very cool it was set in the courtroom the first time and uh this is going to be a company retreat hmm yeah yeah jury duty presents company retreat it takes this groundbreaking social experiment out of the courthouse stay with me dana i got it and drops it into the most relatable setting ever oh yeah company corporate retreat and if you've ever survived that awkward team building exercises or a trust fall with co-workers you you know the vibe yeah i mean this is an inspired idea i gotta say after jury duty to put it in a company retreat this season follows anthony a real temp hired by rockin grandma's hot sauce for their annual retreat right there they should figure it out rockin grandma's hot Yeah, I know.
2:34Dana Carvey:Except he has no idea the entire thing is staged around him. It's a workplace comedy meets hidden camera. And it's unpredictable. It's authentic. It's so full of heart. The stakes are higher. The laughs are bigger. And it still celebrates the goodness in people. And here's the wild part. Rockin' Grandma's Hot Sauce, they're actually making it. Okay. And the flavors will be available on Amazon. Oh, my God. I wonder if they started that first or if they just made up that name and then it sounded funny. But it's going to get a lot of attention. But, you know, this thing, I'm kind of glad they didn't do it in the courtroom again.
3:13Someone would figure that out, I would think.
3:15Dana Carvey:Oh, I don't think they could do it in the courtroom. I think the company Retreat is the next best one. It's hard to think of where to do it, but they did a good job. So I'm looking forward to that. Me too. Watch now on Prime Video. Here's with our movie review of the year We haven't seen any of the movies But we're about to tell you That's like our other review we did Oh yeah, our top five movies of the year What if we put a tear up on our audience? That's the thing we do We're going to have every single guest Dave Chappelle will be there every night We're going to have Shane Gillis He sits on the couch Everybody's coming It's the biggest thing Who's Jizz again?
3:54We haven't cast that yet
3:57Dana Carvey:Welcome Welcome to another edition, episode 3 ,489. We're going to rip apart the Academy Awards. Piece by piece, that's our... Oh, I'm such a boomer. I look at them and I go, oh man, how many of the top 10, I mean the 10 nominated movies have I seen? I got a lot of work to do. How about have you heard of? Can you pronounce begonia? I mean... I saw Petunia. I saw it already. I'll see anything with Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone. Very good. Are they up for anything? Because they were all very good. I don't know. Can we throw the nominations up? Interesting director. By the way, this is like the MTV Awards where I don't know literally one person.
4:45Dana Carvey:Okay, I saw Marty Supreme because we got a screener. Thought it was great. I've not seen Frankenstein. I've seen the original one from 1932. I don't know if that helps. That guy's hot. That's all I've heard. F1 is kind of a surprise. That's quite an honor. That is the surprise, for sure. I mean, Brad Pitt is a genuine movie star, and sometimes the Academy Awards, because now they have, what, 10 or 8? No, it's 10 now. It used to be 5. So you can sort of squeak in with an F1. Like a popcorn movie. Yeah, it's one big tentpole movie. it made like 700 million fun yeah brad pitt does brad pitt super charisma um keep reading them because they're too small for me i know i got my glasses on the secret agent i think it's from brazil i'm kind of interested in that i haven't seen it okay you've seen secret agent have you back and forth here's with our movie review of the year we haven't seen any of the movies but we're about to tell you that's like our other review we did we didn't you know yeah our top five movies of the year yeah it's one movie we haven't seen after another speaking of which leonardo decapitated i mean dicaprio in one battle after another pta paul is he up for it he's up for actor but also he is it looks like it's gonna be a shootout at movie corral where did you see that I perused.
6:16Dana Carvey:I've kind of. I'm looking. Oh, I'm just looking at this. Let's go by the pictures first. One battle. Go. One battle after another. I've seen it. I said it's Kubrick-y. It's Tarantino-y. I think it's a movie that I'm going to see twice before I give my rating on it. Because it's obviously brilliantly done. Will you ever see it twice to do that? Or are you out? No, no. I like to see movies. It'll be a lazy Sunday afternoon, partly cloudy. No one will be around. I'll try to walkie talkie you. You won't answer back. And I go, fuck, I'm going to put it on. I like movies. Chickens are relaxed. Everything's cool.
6:52Everything's been fed. Here's what the turf war is right now. Okay. Where's the battle? What's going on?
7:03Dana Carvey:It's Sinners versus one battle after another. Sinners, I think, got 16 Academy Award nominations. I think it might be the most of all time. One battle after another, I think, got the second most. Yeah. Well, you're skipping Train Dreams. I saw the guy from Train Dreams at a... Train Dreams? I have not heard of that one. I'm sorry. I think Joel Egerton, and he dropped a glass right by my foot, and it smashed into bits. And I literally, great guy syndrome, I fucking kept people back with him while we waited and tried to pick up shards. And then it got to the point where this is someone else's job.
7:45They were too small.
7:46Dana Carvey:This is the star of train dreams you had this interaction with? Did I get that right? I've seen so many billboards and shit for it. Train dreams. It looks like the feel bad movie this summer, but because it's like very slow, I think I would actually like it, but sometimes it looks a little emotional and I can't have any emotion. Well, what if it's not analogous? What if it's actually just about people dreaming on trains? It's like literal. could that be a good movie i have not seen it but it's on my bucket list they are definitely pushing it and i feel like you and paula would like it i don't think i wouldn't like it i just feel like it's kind of like a really beautifully shot cool but i feel like it might be sad and i can't be sad right now oh yeah darkness now give me some give me give me f1 where yeah i would have nominated Jurassic Park with my friend Scarlett Johansson.
8:41Dana Carvey:I thought that was a great movie. I thought it was a great, have you seen it? Have you seen it? You know who got snubbed? The Velociraptorus. It was just a well done riveting action film. I think it's right up there with F1. And you know, always, I never underestimate Tommy Cruise. You gotta vote for Tommy Cruise when he's hanging off airplanes and holding his breath and banging bricks at his head and drowning himself. Banging beaver. Is he in any of these? Is he up for it? I can't see the microscopic print. No, he got ignored by the Academy. He got shunned by the Academy. By the way, are you in the Academy?
9:25I don't think so. You don't think so? Well, go to another category. Let's really get into it.
9:32Dana Carvey:Okay, Frankenstein also. Have you seen that? sinners will i saw pieces of it that's such an la thing i saw pieces of it i've heard sinners is brilliant i heard sinners great but you know you know your precious weapons isn't up for it i know they're giving it to best supporting actress for is it amy madigan yes who's always been great okay here we are leading actors timothy chalametti you got to have cool names look at these dicaprio chalamet you couldn't come in with steve edwards or something ethan hawk is a great little squank myer you need you need half of the thing is now the dirty secret about the golden globes the dirty and i should even tell you dana well i want to know what's the dirty secret is that especially in the old days, but I think they still do it.
10:25They will nominate any star for anything because they just want stars there. So you'll be like, wow, The Rock got up for Best Dramatic Actor. They just want The Rock there. So they want as many big stars in that.
10:39Dana Carvey:Oh, yeah, that's been pretty transparent for a long time. That's kind of a... This is a big secret and you can't tell, even our audience can't know. Yes. Craziest nominations. I can't remember the one that was famous. Pierre, I don't know, somebody got Best Actress. Pepe Le Pew. Pepe Le Pew got nominated for Best Director. Well, look at Chamolix. I mean, Oscars, it's a little whiff of the same thing, but I think they're better about it. But Ethan Hawke, what is that movie it says? Blue Moon. Blue fucking Moon. And it's a very interesting story, actually. he plays he was writing with Hammerstein and did all these incredible things I think, I know you're asleep Hammerstein, who does he play for the Knicks?
11:30Dana Carvey:Rogers and Hammerstein kind of took over I believe and he sort of lost his job he's an alcoholic, he's great in it he's got a bald cap and a comb over that'll do it he's really good he's good anyway though, I'm not trying to negate and I looked like him on that picture once. Remember, Heather? They thought it was me. So Ethan Hawke, I don't even think I've met him in my travels and I would like him. Well, he's like one of those great actors. It's not hungry. He's not thirsty. It kind of gives you sort of a cool vibe when you're not out there all the time. And then he does these indie films where he's brilliant, but he's kind of behind the curtain.

I make fun of it. But it's always cool to watch like a bug's life. They follow a bug around or they follow like a little - You mean a real like documentary with real - Yeah, like a real skunk around. Or they follow just some weird animal in the morning. They go out sniffing for this. It's so funny. I do like, I like documentaries. documentaries and animal shows.

You know me, Easy Breezy. Yeah, yeah. Best Western. When I did, last time I was in, was it Charlotte? Christian McCaffrey and some football players came and it was so fun. And we laughed and kicked and scratched. I like when people come in. I saw Tony Gonzalez at the comedy store last night. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like what I'm hearing. I walked in, I texted him a little bit, then they took his phone away. That's what they do at the store now.
22:34Take your phone away.
22:35Dana Carvey:They take your phone away? And that's bad because when I have people there and I want to talk to them after, say, hey, come out and say hi, I cannot communicate with them. They're scared someone will film one of our dog shit sets. If they really check it, there's not a metal detector. They take your phone, Dana. They used to take it from your table and a bag. What if you just had it in your back pocket? Well, you can try to pull that scan, but if you pull it out, they kick you out. So you put it in a bag. It's called a yonder bag, and you put it on. It used to be only with Chappelle. Right. You put it on the table, but you could see it.
23:08Now they take it to the front, which I think is scarier because I do not want my phone out of my eyeballs.

No. You didn't? No. I didn't either. How fucking funny. I don't think you would get it before me for sure. Nah, my standup was pretty rudimentary at that point. And then I think she said wear a sweater or something. I went over to her booth and she's on her third cocktail, looks up. You should wear a sweater, darling. Come back in two years. You buy a sweater every day for two years. They're going to change your act. But then I went over to Bud Friedman in the improv.
25:11Yeah, that's what I did. And they put me on exact. But who got you in? I know who got me in at the comedy store and the improv. I think for people at home, I think you need to have someone recommend you.
25:24Dana Carvey:I don't know what got me in there. I really don't. Was it Robin? Oh, don't be afraid. He plays for the people. Her. Plays for the people. Oh. Well, I remember I asked him, what's your goal? This was before he was on Mork and Mindy. I was interviewing him for a paper at San Francisco State. What is your goal? Oh, I just like to play for the people. Her. I don't know. I mean, he had charisma just sitting in a chair with this deep British accent. He's got a weird look. It's kind of very riveting to watch. He's got an odd face. And when you really break it down, he looks kind of interesting. And the way he kind of moves.
26:01Oh, definitely.
26:02Dana Carvey:With barrel-chested, he invented this, which it took me a while to figure out why he's so brilliant. Because sometimes comedians would go, oh, he's got sticky fingers. His act is hacky. there was some of that but i said he invented this motif shakespearean trained actor yeah with no material no is pushed out on a comedy stage so it's an artifice it's a thing but oh what's going on and then he always had he had a uh beret that he'd throw off and he'd pick it up for those of you on essence this is a frisbee you know but the whole thing was really hard for a normal monologist to follow because robin didn't know where he was going he'd go in the audience oh someone's shine somebody bald guy's head you know so did he have any long chunky bits like when i say oh i went to get a massage right i i have like a four minute bit or a five minute bit and does he have any of those or was it all like oh well no i think over there here's my theory this is for comedy nerds i believe the stuff that i saw in 75 76 was his first special and it's so so rudimentary and so abstract it's like the stand-up you do before you learn how to do stand-up later on i think his management company got him to do long bits got him to get word for word, got him to be organized.
27:33Dana Carvey:But that first special, something about him just out there. Yeah. Asian men masturbating in front of a dinosaur, you know, it was just so loose and so powerful. So that's my favorite special when he was not controlled in a way like with Paula Poundstone, the management company put her in a dress and she was a tomboy. Is it, you know, that was her whole thing is kind of casual with the sweater and brilliant but then these managers was it brezner mora i guess so i don't want to shit on it really crystal they meant well yeah sure i don't know if they're still around but i know what you mean are you saying it would have it was better with paula dressing sort of tomboyish well she just she had her sweater on she was the girl next door she was just you know and then i saw her they got a show on abc and she had heels and nylon stockings and a dress and lipstick.
28:30Dana Carvey:And it just wasn't her. She was just this other kind of creature. And she was kind of pretty just the way she was. Oh, totally. She had a very cute thing about her. Yeah, very photogenic, brilliant mind, brilliant comedian. That was a name you heard a lot back then. And she's out there now, too. I'm sure she still goes to Rita Rudner. There was a lot that did well. Yeah. Okay, you want to get to some stories? Oh, I want to talk about the Netflix show. fucking extravaganza comedy festival okay and then we'll get to that is trump is there any method to his madness don't know do that first do that first here's our tease because i find it almost like a sport like okay what because we've seen this play before we're gonna go 500 percent ever 500 percent 12 million and then you check in six months later it's like 13 percent you know so he's he's a character and this is what i looked up or what from his book leverage media attention use this to create buzz and influence create a sense of urgency imply the deal must be made quickly use bold claims make exaggerated statements to assert dominance and capture interest negotiate from strength always being in a position to walk away good cop bad cop i mean he does this stuff so like he's going to do tariffs on europe maybe maybe by the time by air time this may be true and he's going to start at 200 and that grabs everyone's attention tariffs on europe crazy he's high number he's going to militarily take over greenland and so the market just went pull up pull pull dive dive and then the next day he kind of goes no we made a deal i sat with someone we made a deal we made a great deal we're not going to do the test the test but you said we're not going to do quite frankly people are looking at it if you look at it you see it and you think about it we're going to do a great deal for the whole lot we've got a deal we made a deal we're We're going to do a deal.
30:44Dana Carvey:Is that a new one? Well, I have just decided, you know how I went with George Bush Sr. Well, we're not going to do it. I'm doing it with Trump. Because James Austin Johnson, his Trump is brilliant, but I'm trying to entertain myself. So to entertain myself, I have to do this. Yours makes me laugh. We do it on phone messages. We're doing things. We're going to go places. And people are saying a lot of things. And they know. We're going to build igloos. Everybody gets an igloo. And we don't know where this goes, but it's clear he likes to put out this thing in negotiation. He's going to bomb Greenland and tariff Europe to shit.
31:25Dana Carvey:And so the prime minister of Canada came out like an end of day speech. We know that nothing will ever be the same. You know, this is before Trump said no tariffs will make a deal. Everybody's going to be rich. the thing about greenland is that russia and china are sort of creeping around up there right they are in circle first they're like hello hello mr putin this is submarine captain valdemir too we are seeing greenland in our telescopes looks like some rare earth minerals maybe sneak in grab some lithium and run for the border fuck i don't know that lithium give me that's That's shit. Oh, we need rare earth minerals, man.
32:09I love rare earth. Rare earth.
32:11Dana Carvey:Rare earth minerals for our phones and stuff. So anyway, I thought that was really interesting and how everyone really reacts to the madness, the chaos he creates and the madness. And then he seems super reasonable by saying - Whatever after that sounds reasonable. Yeah. So countries, 500 % tariff. They're like, oh my God, end of world. all right just 50 percent out thank you mr trump it seems like it's a sixth grade level of thinking but it seems like a pattern that people are seeing you're seeing it but i don't want to see so they should go this is the move you do this it turns into this winds up at this because the stock market and i think is about i got out of the stock market a while ago which was idiot dumb ideas yeah I got into movie studios.
33:03Dumb idea. Number two.
33:05Dana Carvey:Put it on a mattress.
33:10Anyway, so that, that, that. Oh, yeah. Let's go back into the Netflix is a joke. Yeah.
33:14Dana Carvey:Netflix is a joke. Explain to our audience what this is. I'll explain how tiny this is. This is I should have brought a printout. But basically, look at how many fucking people are coming. I have to say Shane Gillis I've never seen this many headliners come to LA and blow it up I don't know how if you bought a ticket to each one it would be about seven million dollars Cat Williams I want to see that one Cat Williams okay let me look at this Cat Williams with David Letterman there's Gaffigan there's Letterman there's Shane Gillis there's Nicky Nicky Glazer's roasting the river no I'm kidding but you know they're just they're putting everybody everywhere and i didn't know they had organized in days because this is more interesting but to pick between malaney i can't even see him from here but to pick between so many huge stars right and we're doing our podcast there we're doing um fly on the wall who's our guest i have I have an idea.
34:21I can't say it. Heather won't be there. But I can't say it. So I'll tell you when I can, Dana.
34:29Dana Carvey:How are we going to stand out? These are so many shows. Do you buy one ticket and it gets you into all the shows? I hope like a ski pass. I don't know. Who's the freak that's going to see more than two of these shows? What kind of human beings can see this much? I mean, if you're a comedy fan, you should just move here and take all your, sell all your possessions. Nate Burgazzi. Burgazzi's doing, I mean, every, pretty much everyone you can think of is here and doing a show. And it's, it's called almost too much of a good thing. Ted really flipped this thing and Robbie over Netflix into a huge deal pretty quickly.
35:11We, I think we did it last year. Did we interview Will Ferrell? Was that one?
35:16Dana Carvey:Well, I don't think it was last year, but we had Adam Sandler early on. Yeah. That might have been us at the Wiltern. But we have... Anyway, we're going to be there. We're excited. Get your tickets. I'll just say this, that I can't really say exactly what's going to happen at our show, but I know it will never be forgotten. So just let that float out there. Are you going to hurt Kreischer with no shirt? We're not going to be boring We're not going to be boring He can't be boring anymore We've got to be like Trump in a way We've got to do the craziest thing Because we know how to do crazy We've got to go nuts What if we put a tear up on our audience?
36:01Dana Carvey:That's the thing we do We're going to have every single guest Dave Chappelle will be there every night We're going to have Shane Gillis He sits on the couch Everybody's coming It's the biggest thing Cut to it's you me and i don't know i don't want to pick on anybody i know i'm hoping you dare say i won't say a name i won't say a name uh will we will we have a cast off from the 1987 snl we're gonna have the original cast of captain kangaroo is gonna be there they're a little long in the truth but we're gonna know you just offended them no no all right anyway the netflix is a joke thing will be pretty fun i don't know what they're actually filming to put on netflix if anything but i know there's a lot going i just don't know about the name because there are people who kind of make fun of netflix because it's the biggest live streaming i mean it's it's it's it's it is the board for for uh global television but some i heard a guy without any irony just say oh it's a joke man i think honestly that's how it started where people when netflix started they said netflix as a joke and then they go when we start our comedy division that might be a funny way to label it i don't know i yeah yeah i agree i don't know if it's good but it's working yeah um okay what's the next story let's get to some headlines we really we really dig into headlines that are that was our warm-up that was our warm-up now here's a netflix related story see i like when they're sort of related there's a little thought put in here matt damon says It's Netflix films.
37:32Oh, he did the rip, which I'm watching.
37:34Dana Carvey:Have to reiterate the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones. Yes, I read this. He says that an executive said it wouldn't be bad to keep letting people know. Now, in a regular movie, because I've written movies with people, this happens where they say, kind of remind everyone where we're at, orient them. but if you do a screening of a movie like bus boys and then at the end you go any questions they go why did you make this but usually they're more precise like uh that's not what you want so you guys are dealing drugs and you go yeah so if you hear something a few times in a screening you go okay let's let's clarify that let's go back put in a voiceover or shoot one extra scene people don't understand we went from here to here so in these movies they're saying do that even more like dumb it down is what he's saying or do it in a different way i say clarity is king when it comes to this when you're trying to watch a movie and after about seven or eight minutes you're not quite sure where you are what am i watching is the tone consistent if you watch a Sylvester Stallone movie or Arnold movie and even Adam Sandler is really good at just laying it out it's not it's not redundant it's just we're clear where we are in the first two minutes what what we're watching well you want a clear plot hopefully I think so unless it's a mystery but a good movie is a good movie but I you know in the middle of this movie I'm watching it Matt Damon looks at the camera and goes oh my god I'm Matt Damon and that's Ben Affleck and we teamed our money and we made a deal to do this movie we're the good guys we're fighting the columbian cartel and he's telling it to a cat in the movie and the cat goes and then i go oh that was a good way to do it now i understand it again then i forget 20 minutes later who are these people what's going on they go oh the columbian cartel is coming in they're mad and i'm like oh that's right i did a ppg comedy once called master disguise and at the screening it was so chaotic because we didn't have any time to rewrite the script, but it was so chaotic.
39:46Dana Carvey:No one knew what was going on at all. I mean, it's the most confusing movie ever. And even Brad Gray was slumping down. All the agents and managers were in their chairs. The comment cards are just like, hey, fuck you. So what we did, which maybe you could do with Busboys if you need it, I don't know where you're at, but narrator. Narrators help. I do say Dickie Roberts, one of the comment cards was, David Spade is generally annoying, but I did like this movie, and I liked him in it. He has to add that at the beginning. I remember I kept that card. Wow. Well. At least he ended by going, I'll give it a good score.
40:29Dana Carvey:There is a human being. When you make a movie and you're going to show it to people and they're going to fill out cards, there's a person, a man or a woman, who guides the audience through it. Here's your card. This means this. This means this. So I figured out after two screenings where we were at imperceptible, like a.001, I said, I got to talk to that guy. So then I talked to that guy and then his spiel to the audience was very different. And then we went up. Oh, you steered it a bit. Smart. Well, just asking the right questions, setting there up, don't be confused, whatever, or the way he would couch it would sometimes influence people.
41:05you know what happens is for people at home is they test every movie and uh i sit in the back on most of the ones i'm in and it's kind of fun but it's also fucking terrifying because if this doesn't work the the marketing budget is based on the score of your first screening so if they see hope like out of a hundred these people don't give a shit they go i'll give it an 80 i'll give it a 90 i'll get a 40 i'll get a zero fuck this that means so much because the average they go oh you got a 77 that's really good your budget will go up two million dollars on advertising and when it comes down because you got lower scores you can bump it up by making your tweaks and you get another screening but if it's too low they probably won't give you another screening because it costs too much to do a screening and bring the people in and rent the theater so they start to give up on it right then.
41:59So your first screening, there's more and more pressure over the years. This has to be almost finished. It's not like, let's try a bunch of crazy jokes. If it doesn't work, we'll try other ones. It's like, it got too serious.
42:11Dana Carvey:It's called stank, I think is the expression. Yeah, you get a stank on it. And then you go, people are starting to fade out on it. Master's Guy is low budget, made 40 at box office, was like 80 now. And also did another 60 in video in those days. So 40 wasn't expensive. I mean, you probably made it for 10 and then you made 40, but it was, this was a Jack Jarabudo, the producer and I were trying to figure out ways to edit it and stuff. So since it was a kid's movie, you kind of need a fart joke here. You need a fart joke and a kid movie apparently. So I didn't have any, but I thought, what about if the bad guy, whenever he's really, his plan is going really well, he farts.
42:53Dana Carvey:Now, Now, Jack thought it wasn't a bad, he goes, we should, he should fart. And then we cut right away. But I said, no, he farts. And then we hold for like five seconds or 10 seconds. Like, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So it's like, right as he's at the peak of his plan, the chair gets pulled out. And then that goes. So Jack, we tried it the other way where it's like, ha ha ha ha ha, cut. And it didn't get a laugh. So it is all about he's at the peak of his powers. And then I told you we will dominate the world. Ha ha ha. And the funny thing, you hold on him and then you cut to the people listening like this.
43:35Dana Carvey:Everybody free. You get an extra laugh. Cut away, cut away. The guy eating his soup. So there is kind of it. It is fun. And you there is that trial and error. It's always amazing when you do a rough edit on a film. what will get a laugh that you didn't expect like that yeah i thought that's why you need a screening yeah you just never know what an audience is going to go for tommy boy the biggest the biggest laugh and read through and shooting was the deer in the back and at the screening it was their sixth favorite scene and you're like wow we were wrong the whole time like over time people remember it but there's so many more things that people quote to me than that and and it was so hard to shoot it was freezing we had to get an animatronic deer we had to trash a car all that work is a set piece they call them and um it still went well and is a good part of the movie but it was by far the number one and then we were like wow we saw a screening well i think it's hard to beat uh you and chris's chemistry and patter you know that's what people liked more Yeah, but in the context of movies, I remember it.
44:47Dana Carvey:It was an energetic little thing. It wasn't witty patter. It was Chris screaming. Crazy. And then the deer and the thing. So it kind of like lifted energy. Cutting us, going like this, watching it all happen. Gave the movie a little left turn, a lot, a lot of energy. Yeah, it's more sad and like chaos. We get it. Okay.

Yeah, and he was trying to get in their green room and everything, but he called it Daddy's Speech was sucked or something like that, so they wouldn't let him in, and then they flipped him off or something.
53:11Dana Carvey:I don't remember. I know. Politics is a little different these days. Let's put it that way. From the days of George Bush, senior, very polite, very careful. Never. Let's do one more.

I graduated two years ago. Okay. You can still play in college?
53:55The quarterback for the national championship team, I think, in Florida, Miami. I just think maybe I'm inaccurate on that, but this NIL stuff has gotten so crazy. I think the Miami team in the championship the average age was between 22 and 25 and that's when you're supposed to graduate so people are staying I didn't know you could stay without classes and then they're getting like 2 million 3 million a year so no they're not rushing as fast to the pros because they give you a rookie deal where the first year isn't that much and they're like shit I'll just stay here and rake it in and be like the hero of my college name image likeness you own it you could sell it you could monetize it and uh the gymnast who's with the pitcher i can't remember her name oh livy she was making millions just kind
