0:00Hey, before we jump back into the show, let's take a quick break, all right? Not just any break. This is a refreshing break with Snapple. We all know about Snapple's iconic real facts. So let's take a minute to go over some of my faves.

0:13Dana Carvey:Snapple real fact 455. Movie trailers used to come on at the end of the movies, but no one stuck around to watch them. I've heard that. Snapple real fact 831. Adults laugh only about 15 to 100 times a day, while preschoolers laugh an average of 300 times a day. Snapple Real Fact, 1983. The first player drafted to play pro football never played in the league. That's interesting. Snapple Real Fact, 1274. Kickball is referred to as soccer baseball in some parts of Canada. Hmm.

0:57Snapple, make your break more interesting. You know we're supported by Ring. Everyone knows Ring. With Ring, it's protected. Look, a lot of our shopping happens online, an alarming amount, an embarrassing amount. I'm talking everything from late night snack hauls to random gadgets we absolutely don't need, but some I have to have. And when you're recording or just out and about, the last thing you want to be wondering is, did my package get delivered? or adopted by someone else. That's where Ring comes in. The battery doorbell lets you keep track of packages and actually see what's happening in front door.

1:32No guessing, no stress. And if you want to really level your setup, the Outdoor Cam Plus has a wide field of view with that crisp retinal 2K video. So even at night, your yard isn't getting away with anything.

1:46Dana Carvey:You can even upgrade to 4K cameras and doorbells with Ring's retinal vision, which means super clear footage and the ability to zoom in without everything turning into a blurry mess. Perfect for identifying whether that's your package or your neighbor pretending it's theirs. For me, it's just peace of mind, whether it's packages, the yard, keeping an eye on things when you're busy, your dog, whatever. Ring makes it easy and reliable. Your door, your yard, your home. Honestly, it's the only way I know what I panic bought at 2 a.m. And with Ring, It's protected Shop cameras, doorbells, and more Right now at Ring.com Rob Reiner's son Terrible topic If you can land this, I'm going to send you$100 Don't worry, it was a total wipeout Well, first of all, you're in a deficit But go ahead Taylor Swift, where are they going?

2:38She's not walking, I'm going, taxi! That'd be funny, Taylor Swift

2:43Dana Carvey:Hey guys, quit screaming, taxi! I, I want a taxi Did I sound like Taylor Swift at all? Sort of. Sort of. I went to school with you, and I go, oh, cool, cool. Where'd you go, to Swaro? She goes, yeah. And she goes to the other girl, he looks young. He is not young at all. And I go, oh. Didn't know how to react. She goes, but you do look young. So she sucked me in again. She goes, but he's a lot older than you think. And I go, get fucked. How about just ring it up? Enough. Google, we're releasing male mosquitoes to reduce the population. Hundreds of thousands of them. We're Google. Are you tired of pregnant mosquitoes?

3:26Dana Carvey:Introducing.

3:30We cut their mosquito nuts off.

3:33Dana Carvey:Yeah. Good luck making a batch of mosquito kids. Those days are over. We got you neutered, mosquitoes. Ready? One, two, three. Welcome to the show. uh dan blarney i've got david spoodler are here in for danis dana spade and questions about my hair i'll take first i just did this thing that heather said if your hair is ever super greasy and you haven't washed it in four days spray dry shampoo so right so i do it but look at look it's gray see that i kind of like it see that streak in there oh i oh i've been watching i've been watching that 30. No chance. Not me. I just do it. I just spray it and I ran down here.

4:22Dana and I spend, we only spend, no joke, probably an hour and a half getting ready for this show.

4:29Dana Carvey:It's amazing. I guess the listeners could know that after this particular podcast, I'm going to get in the car and drive for six hours on interstates. I know you're a stud for doing this. Well, yeah, but it is sort of an interesting one because you know i don't know about you i don't know what your packing situation is but i'm dysfunctional i really if i have a car this is a drive if it's a if it's a you know luggage flight and i start putting shit in there that's like one in a million i'm ever gonna need it like what if i want a second sport coat am i gonna wear it for the gig we're doing what do i want I go parachuting.

5:09Dana Carvey:What if I need a second long sleeve? You know, what should I hike with these shoes? And these shoes could be good on stage, but also these, because I have a car where I can throw the seat down. So I have stuff I could survive for six months with what I've packed for one gig, basically. Is it for our gig? Yeah. But then I'm around town. I'm doing, seeing a doctor just for a checkup. And I'm going to be visiting my mother-in-law. You know, know you just you just go well throw it in i'll just i'll just throw it in what if what if i need my uh snake bite socks where the snakes don't bite me when i hike and what if what if i need a backup toothbrush i mean what if that toothbrush disappears so it's a very crazy thing i have going on but you're pretty you're pretty together i think if i had to say yeah i'm pretty streamlined at packing now, but you got to have some backups.

6:06Uh, I will tell you, I went to the improv last night and we're going to break this down of why this didn't work. I love doing this.

6:12Dana Carvey:I'll tell you inside baseball for the audience. It is so much fun to work on someone else's bit. And it's horrifying to work on your own bed. It's very frustrating. So what was, you go to the improv, here's your joke. Didn't work. Let's hear it. Okay. So I go to the improv and on the way I hear on the news this and by the way the first problem touchy subject so we're already at a deficit right depends on the second problem undercooked right and the crowd sometimes likes this but you're thinking of it by hearing it on the radio going right to the so you're just doing it spontaneous i'm one minute away from the and you're gonna i go okay got it and i say i should say something about this so it's not quite formulated and that is the architecture is so important it seems like nothing but how you set it up how you pay it off do they have all the information the minimal amount but all the information so they will understand what you say next that's exactly right and it was not really any of that so i said hey guys okay hey guys it's good hey guys already they're your friend it was too up early because i tried to remember it i'm like i gotta say something so i do one or two settling bits and they're pretty good crowd melissa the villa senor was before me who you like she's very good great great great talent super nice very nice and she has a little bit of this touch streak too uh she she gets off and does a great job and then i go oh blah blah and and then i say oh so okay i just heard that nick reiner doing nick reiner is do i silence oh no you did the audience and it goes silence kind of because then i hear of some guy go, yeah.

7:57And I go, Rob Reiner's son. Terrible topic. A terrible already. If you can

8:03Dana Carvey:land this, I'm going to send you a hundred dollars. Don't worry. It was a total wipeout. Well, first of all, you're in a deficit, but go ahead. I told you, I don't know. And then I'm realizing this is so morbid already. And I go, well, there was a situation. I said, anyway, the news was today that Rob Reiner's son, Nick, who is in jail, is suing the estate of Rob Reiner because he's not getting his millions of dollars in the will. And I'm like, what a bummer. The one guy that could give you the money and kill him. Okay. And what was the response? This, nothing. Heather fell asleep. You're thinking of how I could fix it.

8:47I don't know

8:47Dana Carvey:if it's fixable well yeah and it's also it's pretty perfunctory as a turn you know what does that mean well it's not exotic there's not a bunch of surprise to it he's going after his money and is it an ironic he killed the one guy who could have wrote him the check yeah um i mean it could have been in that ilanus morissette song if it was today that the guy you kill as the one guy, because now he's suing him because he wants that money. His argument is, I need that money for a legal team so I can get out of jail for killing you. You might, maybe the only way to make it lighter is to put it on you.

9:32Dana Carvey:I totally relate. Once this kid wouldn't give me his lunch money and I've smashed him in the face with a tennis ball. Some other tricks are, yeah, take it away from that. There's one where my mom gets bruising easily in my act, but it worked only when I switched it and said, I'm worried about her, but she thinks it's funny. Now it's lighter. Of course. And so she laughs when she bruises and she goes, I go, what happened to your hip? She goes, oh, I must have run into a table. I go, mom, you have a bruise from your ankle to your ribs. She's like, I know, I don't know what happened. I go, I think you got hit by a missile.

10:10Dana Carvey:yeah all that's fine as long as she's safe and okay she thinks it's funny because we all get i got a hematoma just from getting a blood test but it doesn't hurt at all look at that well excuse me not only tigers get out of cages but um but i'm gonna say this because i'll be the the coach at the improv yeah that topic is too difficult right now and especially for la they Some people knew him. It's such a local problem. It's in the Hall of Fame of tragedy. Like the darkest, what? I knew him. And they're like, why are you using your movie? I'm like, I know. I'm just. I know. Rob Renner directed Spinal Tap.

10:55Dana Carvey:And I was in that with him. Oh, you were in that? Here's another one that'll remind you of. Here's a sports story before we get to the big sports story. but Jacoby Brissett, this is just a local bit for me. Okay. That I am following the Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals. I'm one of the few to follow what's going on. So they're having a transition year rebuilding. Right. And they got a new quarterback, but Jacoby Brissett was the backup for Kyler. Everyone's already tuned out. Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray. And he went to Minnesota. You don't need to know what this stuff is. No, I'm mesmerized. Go ahead.

11:34thank you so heather does heather have a pillow if she wants to she does she's on the couch so so jacoby brissette is the backup and he's holding out you know at camp because they're negotiating but he's supposed to only get four million or something this year i'm like that is low for a starting qb and uh and then i'm like what if the negotiators and he's not getting anywhere so he's just showing up at camp now finally he doesn't have a deal and i go i feel like maybe the negotiators are accidentally negotiating with iran and trump is calling the cardinals and now that's why everything's a mess that's not for my act that's just for you

12:19Dana Carvey:we're gonna deal with iran we're gonna do a lot of stuff i'll do this at the gig but i've turned trump into sort of a character from lord of the rings now to amuse myself you know they yes they call it the precious they call it the precious it's a great little ring you gotta get the ring you know i mean i'm not i'm just tired of trying to sound like trump so i've made him into like he's almost like gollum you know the precious you gotta get the brah oh shit i pull a muscle doing trump no i'm fine gollum was so famous in lord of the rings and i haven't seen him in one other movies since nothing uh he doesn't getting well newsflash i know you don't read a lot but golem doesn't look like that it's a cgi character and the guy who voiced it has worked a lot who andy i live in a circus circus andy i travel with the circus so all right now we get to your precious knicks um look i had to check myself i had to check myself which means you know cognitive behavioral because you get attached to a team and you just kind of pick a team my team the golden state warriors are out so i became a fan of the spurs just because they're they're average they're right out of high school basically they shouldn't be doing what they're doing total underdogs and they've got the wembley who's called the alien so they're up

13:55now we're doing this of course the finals are probably over we just saw the biggest game of the year last night which unless the last game beats it that last second tip in i'll go out on

14:08Dana Carvey:limb and say the spurs in seven and when this airs we may know and then i'll eat crow how where did that come from why do you have to eat crow because i don't even like bird in the old days when he would lose basketball games they'd have to pick up a crow and eat it is that it i mean i'm not i'm not a good chat gpt yeah so i don't like to but i realize for anybody, and this is an evergreen take, Greg, you know, it's the fun of getting attached and caring, but we know it's all pretend they're not, you know, solving the Iran war. It's just athletes trying to do something and it's fun to care, but don't be personally wounded or sad.

14:57Dana Carvey:Find a place like, well, that happened, move on. But it's really just something to do. Like when i was at a sports bar last night and it was packed packed some trashy bar which i love and the kitchen was broke they go we only got hot dogs and we're like that's fine so me tommy bobby are in there and then it gets so packed and then everyone's going shithouse but i still have to go to a set at the improv so i'm like i'll watch this until it gets good then i believe so then the guy sees me and he comes and goes nixers spurs like he wants to kill me i'm like i don't know fucking pratt bass what are you talking about do which one am i for is that your question what did he say it just sounded like a caveman what was he just said nixers spurs and he wants me to answer wrong so he can beat the shit out of me i'm like he just turned to me and i'm standing there and he fucking like almost chest bumped me and i'm like why do you want to beat me i don't know whatever you want i I want to live.

15:57Dana Carvey:I don't give a fuck about this game. Why would Rob Schneider do that, first of all? Why would Rob Schneider come in? Because he's practicing for grownups. Why would the LA team, Knicks or Spurs, what happened to their Lakers? I mean, they're such traitors. Nobody gives a fat fuck anymore about the Lakers. They're like, we're moving on to whoever's got to eat. I want to join the Knicks bandwagon. It might be too late, but I'll do it if they win at all. But I'll tell you, let me tell you this right now. I like that one. live sports in the digital streaming, not live streaming, streaming age. Everything goes into the massive library.

16:34Dana Carvey:See it anytime. Live sports make so much more money. And the audience TV, quote TV streaming is so huge compared to everything else. We used to have all the families. Number one, Jerry Seinfeld at the top. Now it's the Niners versus Cleveland, you know? So that's the reason we watch it. We don't get any of that totally live. It's not fixed. No one's seen it. You don't know what's going to happen. So I think the season's been really good. There's been some amazing games. And if you're a Knicks fan right now, I guess you've won the championship or not. We're recording this. Actually, we're recording this in 2022, six weeks out.

17:21Dana Carvey:that's why i want to talk about it in the macro do you know what that means well the macro no it means we're just an overarching look at sports and finals and it's huge and and this is is this fairly new when you're watching an nba game or another game that draft kings draft kings you can bet here bet there bet there so that's also the biggest thing in the world right my degenerate buddy gambler said hey at the half did you see what the odds were that the knicks would come back and at the quarter did you see the over under of the points i go dude i'm not a degenerate gambler sorry i'm actually just watching the game yeah i just and i get it but are you really when you're at the half and you're like playing it live they want you to bet on everything not just the game win or lose they need you fucking oh it's every all the way through all the way through and then all the predictive markets and all those things.

18:16So, uh, and on what stars will be there. You can bet on that on those other markets. So speaking of celebrity row, they really packed it last night. It was, I think my biggest shocker, did you see that Taylor Swift was with PTA? Heather, was he? I think cause it was with the hame girls.

18:35Dana Carvey:There was some little club they made up and they said some little pun. Oh, I saw it. Stevie Nicks. They spelled the Knicks. the way the Knicks do with the K and they put Stevie Nicks. And then there was two other ones. The Hame girls had, um, one was Nicole Kidman with Nicks. So there's three of them. The other one was good. I don't know. It's kind of interesting. You know, you see people sitting on the wood and going crazy. And then the, the 10 year old boy inside you or girl is like, kind of like what they get to be billionaires. And now that their team wins and they're just all happy. They were all too exuberant Like calm down You got the billion I did see when they went to a commercial And they show like I think it was Rock, Chris Rock He's like this Slow motion They don't Got it tonight But it was all slow motion People being sad like this I know And then later on But I will predict And I will eat crow I predict that Spurs and Seven.

19:44Dana Carvey:Spurs and Seven. I just have a feeling about it. Yeah. Mark down. Also. Oh, yeah. This is a good question. Two questions. First of all, Sandler was there with Jackie. Shabba fool. And I can't remember everybody that was there. There was a few surprises. But afterwards, when there's such beatings out front, if you're on my Instagram, my algos, it's literally take your spurs jersey off they rip it off beat the people up bloody noses shit everywhere everyone you come out and there's like 50 horses lined up 50 horses with cops on top just as an intimidation thing when you first come right like please don't start shit and there was a guy trying to save them from tearing down a light pole and they beat him up like it's just it's just a free car to say go crazy and so they take him up on it especially last night because it was such a flip around and then heather's saying do you leave out of mattis square garden and go right into that riot a mob of craziness secret and if you're sandler secret secret tunnel i think you'll underneath suv pop out the back yeah no one's the wiser and get the fuck out.

21:04Dana Carvey:Yeah, they're not going to play. Taylor Swift, where are they going? You know what I mean? She's not walking. I'm going, taxi. That'd be funny. Taylor Swift, taxi. Hey guys, quit screaming. Taxi. I want a taxi. Did I sound like Taylor Swift at all? Sort of. Sort of.

21:24Oh, no, you don't. No, you don't. Give me that. That's how you sounded exactly. God dang it. Where's mine? Oh, fuck yeah.

21:36Dana Carvey:Is that for me or for the Knicks? That's when you, this is the audience, when you did that weird joke.

21:49Worse than that. Here's you when you grab your wiener. How did you know?

21:57Dana Carvey:Don't say that to Dana. How did you know? Here's my act. This is what it's like for me when I do this podcast for my brain. Was that a rubber scratch? I don't know.

22:14Here's Dana when I'm allergic to bad jokes. Here's what happens. Here's what I do.

22:20Dana Carvey:That was a bad setup. Here's an impression of you when a joke doesn't work at the improv. What? It's pretty good. me when I see you eating alone. Why you no-hands friends. Yours are actually good. That one's a good one. This is you when you get out of the shower and you look in the mirror.

22:45Here's Dana when Gervitz calls about a road gig.

22:51Dana Carvey:Yours are too logical. I don't even know what these buttons are going to say. Here's you taking a left turn on La Cienega. Jesus. Here's you taking a right turn. That's Heather during everything we've talked about.

Heather needs a microphone Yeah, I know, that was Heather No, people ask me what Why do we keep her? Why? Yeah It's sort of, I think it's sort of the fun mystery of the show She can always walk over here and get on But it's sort of funny to go Who's Heather? Where's Heather? And then she asks questions She laughs a lot, we can hear that She's the whole audience for the whole show How many feet Is Heather away from you? These are good questions I would say 11 11 feet And that laugh travels We can't have her any closer I know, I have to land a banger to hear her You get like a metronome.

27:30Dana Carvey:No, she laughs at literally everything you say, which is disgusting. She's not paid to laugh at me. Hey, David, what you're just saying right now? It's so loud. People go in the comments. Is it really that loud? Could it be? It can't be as louder than my voice. That's a foghorn. Okay, wait. I have to ask something else. Oh, here's what this lady said to me. at the gift shop in Arizona. Okay. That's a great setup. So I go in there and she goes, Hey, she's with another lady. And she goes, I went to school with you. And I go, Oh, cool. Cool. Where'd you go to Saguaro? She was, yeah. And she goes, the other girl, he looks young.

28:14He is not young at all. And I go, Oh, didn't know how to react. She goes, but you do look young. So she sucked me in again. She goes, but he's a lot older than you think. And I go, get fucked. How How about just ring it up enough? But then she goes, I graduated this year. When did you? And I go, oh, before that. She goes, oh, you're older than I thought. And I already thought you were old. God damn. She kept bearing herself. And I go, I'll take my things. And that's enough. Good day, sir.

28:48Dana Carvey:Yes, that's what's a bit I used to do. It was like what you suggest is nothing short of madness. Good day to you, sir I said good day I said good day Oh, dude, go ahead I had a woman come up to me and go You don't look like you did 40 years ago I go, you don't either No shit No shit, Sherlock You know, people, what they do is this We have to be on these screens and stuff So we get scrutiny You know But if people go to their bathroom mirror and put their chin up Loaded with light, just a straightforward shot Going with a turtleneck going Why is everybody getting old Look at me Drives me nuts Drives me nuts I drive in my car with a ring light Which is hard to drive In case anyone sees me But I do use that I did say to her What you suggest is nothing short of madness Good day to you madam I just saw a funny clip of Lovitz Oh you should have it Oh Lovitz was on a flight And you know how we ever And they go, can you get up and do the announcements?

29:58Can you say bye-bye to everyone? So he gets up and does stuff on Southwest. He's flabbing away. Hilarious. Yeah. So funny because that's what people want you to do. Get up and say something funny. I've done it.

30:13Dana Carvey:Not that often, but I've done it. Hello. John. Ladies and gentlemen, I am your, I am. Please, around applause for me. I'm the oldest flight attendant in history. This is my one millionth flight.

30:29Dana Carvey:John could get gigs just doing that announcement for different airlines. You know, he's on the road sometimes with dice clay. It's pretty funny. They got together and then they filmed themselves in the airports and stuff. And they're always arguing. It's funny. I like everything I'm hearing. You like what you hear? That's a perfect match. We just got through the voting situation. We have a new mayoral runoff in the snow. And a new governor. Karen Bass. And the woman's name is? Nithya Raman. Ramadan Lupapa. As they call her in the post, Nithya Topraman, as they call her in support. So she conceded on election night and I think was very emotional.

31:12Dana Carvey:And then they said. She was in third on election night. Yeah. But wait, there's more. Oh, wait. And then 17 million ballots flooded in. I don't know. I have to say they should take this voting a little more seriously here because we are the slowest and most. I'm not saying there's any tampering with the voting, but there's every opportunity to. If you were tampering, you'd want this system, you know, where you can go to doors and like, what do you want, dude? Here's a ballot. I'll come back in a couple of days, you know, and then you harvest it. whatever party you're from so they should fix it so no one has suspicions make the best there's no security at the ballot boxes that's illegal you can't like have someone there or watch are they stuffing them as anyone taking it out lighting it on fire yeah my brother went to vote up in northern california and he showed his id and they said get that fucking id out of my face they were like angry that he wanted to show i did well i don't think you're even supposed to show your ID.

32:15They show gym memberships. You can show anything. I don't even think you have to show you just say, Hey, what's up? And that's the problem. That's what some people want. So it's more fair in quotes. And some people, you know, when you're on a flight, you have to show your ID and you have to show your, you know, real ID and your license or passport. Every second you turn around, you're driving. Like, why can't it just be a driver's light? Something, a real ID.

32:40Dana Carvey:Well, whatever you would get to go on an airplane. Right. That's all. You know, I don't know. This is kind of a hot take. Some a lot of people love the current system, but I feel like it invites suspicion. And we don't want anyone to think like that. You know, when I grew up, it was like in Richard Nixon defeats Hubert Humphrey. It was like 11 o 'clock or midnight. And the presidential election was called not just the state election. another problem is they they used to if you handed it on the day of the election it would still count later if they needed it right but they don't go by postmark which was the legal way now it's you can write in when you handed it in what day so if you can do that then you could just i it's all it just should be a little more of a tighter ship that's all i'm saying i just like to meet the guy yeah i'm uh congressman steve wilkers and that's the system I put in place in California.

33:38Dana Carvey:You know, what is the, I guess the idea is more people participate. I don't know. Right. Obviously the idea is you just have to realize some people are going to play the system. Some people really need this system the way it is now. And some people clown it. Same with everything. Same with the border. Good people want to come in. Also bad people. You got to have to have some system to differentiate the two. And that's the hard part. They said Nithya didn't even win in her own district. And then after it was over, she shot up thousands and thousands. Is it weird to say right at this moment that if you ran, I would vote for you?

34:16Me?

34:17Dana Carvey:You're pretty articulate there. I could run. I wasn't on a reality show, but I could run. What is, should we have? I could run. I know nothing. Mr. We should. That's a great campaign. I know just as much as current politicians, meaning I know nothing. I'm like Colonel Schultz. They gave Pratt a lot of shit. And you go, well, I don't mind that he doesn't know because at least he's saying things that no one says you want to hear. And you go, you could be a politician for 50 years, but if nothing's going the right way, who cares about your experience? That means just you're in bed with a lot of people that you owe.

34:53And there's same with both sides of the aisle. They are, they've been in so long. It's all kind of sketchy on both sides.

35:02Dana Carvey:The best Congress money can buy. And you can get in that Congress and go to those meetings and listen in. Oh, really? So NVIDIA is getting that government deal. Go play some bet on the stock market. That's the only reason to be in Congress. Yeah, you can really get rich if you. Give me some of your stocks, Richie Rich. I got to get back in the game. You know, it's always, it's like nerve wracking. You ever heard of the phrase volatility? the word actually it's not a phrase no nothing stocks go like this these days you know and it's always you in spacex or no well spacex is going to take off like a rocket no pun intended um no i don't know what it's going to do but you do know that in in the big banks there's people who bought SpaceX essentially for a nickel per share.

35:51Dana Carvey:And now it's$135 a share. So the amount of millionaires and I guess billionaires that will be printed, unless the stock doesn't perform, but it may go way up and way down. We don't know because it has never made any money. It might be like a rocket and go like this and then go down. And it should have an escape hatch. Excuse me. I have muni bonds and they balance out my point. portfolio. Don't get me started on my favorite. I want to be a quillionaire. You've got plenty. I mean, I, you know, I just like to. Heather wants to be a trillionaire, but I want to be a quillionaire. Hey, David, everything you own owns you back.

36:34Dana Carvey:Have you ever thought of that? Every day. Have you ever thought of this? You occupy your house, but you live here. Your spirit, soul, and physicality is right here. Never, never thought of that. Didn't cross my mind. You're just going to chase shiny things until you go. Yeah, I go like this. This is a Camaro. If that's cool, that means I'm cool, right? Yeah. Cool things around me. Watch this. That means me. If I have a new shirt, that means I'm new. Yeah. I see. I get it. Look, I bought a guitar recently, a little cool, cool guitar. I got a guitar you might like. The only things I like is what I can interact with.

37:16Dana Carvey:yeah a pool a basketball hoop a you know great a television you're interactive golfing all right let's go to the hot stories let's go to the stories got a hit the four i have a 17 hour drive i'm in no i like that we always act like we're so busy for the podcast we're like we just got a buzz if you go you're not even trying oh buzzing around okay i'll just say it I haven't given this a thought at all, but at all, all because I wasn't sure, but that's what I love about buzzing around. And, um, you've got a whole, okay. I have to have Pierce Morgan, Pierce Morgan. Okay. We have, maybe we're going to do all these people at the next game.

37:59Is that healthy? Is that something you can handle?

38:00Dana Carvey:Sure. It's time for buzzing around fan favorite, uh, sponsored by five hour energies, firework, freeze, flavor, Ignite your taste buds with red, white, and blue freezer pop classic reimagined as a delicious firework freeze five-hour energy shot. Find firework freeze shots online at 5hourenergy.com or Amazon today. And today's segment, by the way, 4th of July is coming up, which is really kind of turning into a Joe Dirt holiday, to be honest. Joe Dirt is what you know your movies do. They just travel. You know, like Joe Dirt was not like a hundred million dollar movie, but it's bigger. But this is the good thing.

38:46Dana Carvey:It's bigger now than it was even then. I have to say that's Tommy Boy, Joe Dirt. So I think that's a good thing rather than they're working on doing a Joe Dirt cartoon. And we will have more on that story later. OK, so buzzing around, you're going to have Piers Morgan. Who else? Well, I'm just... You can pick anybody you want. Just to survive this. Mondami? Oh, he was there. He jinxed the other game. I mean, yeah, I usually do too many, but here. There's that guy. Okay, I got six puppets. Here we go. And they're at the Knicks game, right? Yeah. Do I hold the puppets up or I just do the voices?

39:30No, you just do one at a time. Okay. You can do whatever.

39:32Dana Carvey:All right, here we go. You take your time. Yeah. This is overwhelming. So Tucker Carlson was at the Knicks game, and he was rooting for the Knicks. And just the entire time, he was just in a state of hysterics. He was like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You know, it helps that he's laughing in the picture. Well, that's why I do it. That's funny. Do I hold up the puppets or just do the voices? I don't care. Whatever's easier. So, David, do you watch sporting events? I think that it does help that I can see them. It's funnier. Okay. I actually do. I watch a lot of the game last night.

40:14Dana Carvey:And that's what you do. You just watch men running around, throwing a basketball around. And that satisfies you. You don't need anything else in life. Just watching men play sports. Is that what you're saying? I mean, it sounds sexual the way you're saying it, but it's just for fun. You don't have much of a life, do you? Is that the way you like to live your life? Very quiet, out of the spotlight Well, not on purpose Pierce, you're being kind of mean That is condescending and mean Don't get me started, Dana Fluffy What was your movie? Wayne's World from 1983 God, he's rough He's mean Ma 'am Danny was there Ma 'am Danny

41:04Dana Carvey:Senator John Kenny was Now As far as I understood It the idea is to Win the game Your words not mine But I saw people missing Shots and throwing the ball Out of bounds getting paid Millions of dollars David's words not mine Now what is traveling Can you walk nine steps These days I guess When they call it a slam Dunk Is it really a slam dunk Your words Not mine You think that's where they got the term Something's a slam dunk Keep talking I'll have a move with you It's hard Because it feels like that was the origin story. People slamming the ball in a hoop. I can't do it. Your words. You put on Twitter.

42:03Dana Carvey:Here's the most non sequitur one of the day. Dean Martin from heaven went to the Knicks show. Oh, honey. Oh, I'm telling you. Oh, the basketball game. Oh, and they had a little bit of wine. Oh, I don't even know who won. Everybody Love somebody sometime I was singing pretty good You know what the Spurs said? Last night was a kick in the head Kick in the head Ain't that a kick in the head? Ain't that Yeah The Knicks win every time And the Spurs in the basketball players They throw the ball around You get a foul You're charging You can't charge them when you put the elbow in the face and you break the clavicle and the different bones and that's how you win the basketball game.

42:56Dana Carvey:Right, David Spade? Did you ever make a basket in your life? You know who gets fouled a lot? Wimperniana.

43:07Dana Carvey:Wimperniana. You can't defeat Wimperniana. He's eight and a half feet tall. He's Wimperniana. You know what they call him, David Spade? No. They call him the alien. He's like a predator. I fought him in predator. I saw him in the locker room and I said, what are you? That's all he said. And finally, well, many people are upset by our system. We need Reagan at the end. Many people are seeing things they don't like. Scores and things and politics as usual. People fight and argue But we have to always remember We're the United States of America Right Excuse me We're the United States of a I beg your pardon We're the United States He's farting I think so Hang on This has been buzzing around This has been buzzing around And here it is If you want to pick me up Trust me It helped me many times before Now you can see my mouth move And the illusion is ruined goodbye that was buzzing around sponsored by 5R Energy it couldn't have been anything else the iconic red, white, and blue freezer pop flavor you crave with none of the sugar spark a tasty flavor sensation with Firework Freeze 5R Energy shots available online at 5R Energy.com and Amazon today

46:49Dana Carvey:Rated PG.

46:54Alright, we still got some stories in. Everyone's clamoring for our stories. Our takes. Hot takes.

47:00Dana Carvey:Five minutes. Five minutes we can do stories. Then I get in the car. Rapid fire. yeah oh this is the Knicks I think it's bloody they make him take his spurs and this is it there's a million of these oh god it's unreal that's a calm one there's so many fights it used to be like hooray remember our celebration high five you shake hands with the people hey good game everybody good game let's huddle up I cannot relate You not like me team Me beat you up If you like my team Me not beat you up Seinfeld used to be like You're an adult cheering for laundry You have a jersey on I like you I was watching a game once Who's the head?

47:57Dana Carvey:The Wrath of the Yellows It is kind of fascinating How much you invest in it you know. All right. Next story. That was a good one. Miles Garrett, LA takes the next five years. No LA taxes. Oh, Miles Garrett came from the Browns. They break down what he pays. Now no one's feeling sorry for this guy, but it is a bit of a fucking, it's a bit of a nibble. It is a check. 68 million in federal tax right away. Four out of 177 million, 67 million. Okay. That seems to the Fed. That's national. Then 4.2 million to FICA, 23 million to California state. They have a really rough. 13, nine, uh, 5 million to the agent.

48:44That's it.

48:45Dana Carvey:I don't get the 5 million. That's like a 10. We made 10 would be 17 million. By the way, if you get drafted and you're playing for now, the Las Vegas Raiders, you, you don't pay that 23, five, no state tax. That's a big reason people go to the Raiders and not here. Year after year. Luckily, the Rams are great, but his net income is$78 million out of$177 million. So he lost$99 million in the process. The rich don't pay the fair share. He should not be allowed to keep$78 million. That's too much money for one human being. He should get$2 million max, and the rest goes to the people who need the money.

49:26Dana Carvey:I'm Bernie Sanders and you can go fuck yourself That was a good Bernie I know I like Bernie Because Bernie's been consistently a socialist The whole time He's not joining the party Because it's hip Why is he possibly a millionaire? He has to give it back Well like you said last week What's his name? Tom Steyer went to a trillionaire thing As part of his speech Soon we will have trillionaires But you're a billionaire Oh, I get your point. Yeah. Dennis Miller would say Tom Steyer, the guy spent 150 million, got lost, got third. I spent zero. I got fourth. Yeah, we would have both had the same outcome.

50:11Dana Carvey:I would have put down a singular rectangular greenback, a$1 bill. He puts in 200 billion and we're both in third place. OK, none of us are going to the governor's house. All right. He said he goes, Reagan went against Mondale. When I went to bed, Reagan had 280 electoral votes. Mondale had three. OK, that's the only three more than I had. I didn't run. This guy spent 200 million bucks. I almost tied him. It's a way to observe things and feel so good about yourself. You know, that guy's getting the game. They lost and I didn't wasn't in the game and I didn't lose. We're about the same kind of thing, I think.

50:52Dana Carvey:It's kind of some kind of weird sort of flying too close to the sun motif. All right. Mondale is going to show up on American Express ads. Hey, remember me? A couple of years ago, I ran for governor. I got stomped like a narc at a biker rally. With a name like that, you should start a shoe line. You should say hello to my brand new Mondales. You know, they've got sidewalls on them. Size 10 and a half, I'm assuming. Okay. I'm assuming. Brand new Mondales is kind of funny. We got to get Dennis back in because it's been too long. Yeah. Okay, next one. Then we'll wrap up, Danny. He's ticking clock.

51:30He's got to go. What's this stupid one? Okay. Oh, oh, Google. Why are all these places that aren't science? This is what drives me crazy. I don't even want a scientist to do this. Google's conducting one of the largest open air biological experiments in history. Is this mosquitoes or what is it? Here it is playing.

51:51Dana Carvey:Should not be partaking and conducting one of the largest open-air biological experiments in U.S. history. Because that's what this is. They do plan to release 64 million, actually. It's not 32 million like many outlets are claiming. Mosquitoes? He counted up the numbers. Mosquitoes with legs that have been castrated. It's 10 million per year over two years. Mosquitoes? In both California and Florida. California? Get out of here. And yeah, these male mosquitoes, these male mosquitoes are bacteria. So that so they'll release them into the wild. And what are they learning? Mosquito populations because their babies, they won't be.

52:37Dana Carvey:Oh, it's trying to suppress. Here's something. Try to get them to blow blanks. Right. Well, we have a thing up here where our horses have to wear these kind of like masks. and one of the horse doesn't like the bass, but flies are attracted to like their eyes because it's sort of watery. So gross. So I think there's a thing where you can get wasps that don't sting humans or animals, but they'll just eradicate all the mosquito population. We'll go elsewhere. Sure. I'll do that, but don't add mosquitoes to the equation, especially if they're some experimental biological virus. If you're going to do that, I want to see online or on regular television, Google, we're releasing male mosquitoes to reduce the population.

53:27Dana Carvey:Hundreds of thousands of them. We're Google. Are you tired of pregnant mosquitoes? Introducing.

53:39We cut their mosquito nuts off.

53:42Dana Carvey:Yeah. Good luck making a batch of mosquito kids Those days are over We got you neutered, mosquitoes We're Google Insectile dysfunction I hope you had fun when you were getting laid in mosquito world But guess what? Those days are over I'm from Google So go for it Thanks to Google Guess what? This is just a fun fact I may have said this before, but I found it fascinating So Walt Disney goes to the swamps of Orlando to build Disney World. And there's mosquitoes up the yin yang. Who figured out the. How did they get rid of them? Yeah. How did they, how did they get rid of the mosquitoes? Freeze them?

54:26No. No.

54:30Dana Carvey:Mosquitoes will not lay eggs and cannot mate if they don't have standing water. So if you go to Disney World, all water is moving. there's no no standing water i like to hear that kind of shit isn't that cool just it always moves and then they go elsewhere you know this is my last fact because heather asked earlier i've heard at the knicks this is circling around to end up the whole show the front row is comped so i don't think taylor swift is paying 30 000 a seat well is it comped if you're famous but what if you're just a regular wealthy guy i think if you get a season ticket it's not comp i think ben stiller probably pays for the season but if i go to a game lakers i think i've been offered nicks this year if i'm in new york and it's the timing is right i can get you someone goes i can get you on their front you can get courtside two seats just give us a heads up they don't say do you have 22 i heard it was a hundred thousand for this playoff game maybe if you're not i heard the The worst seat last night was$3 ,000, so way up in the rough.

55:37Dana Carvey:I heard the worst seat was$10 ,000. What are you reading? I heard your worst seat is the one in your kitchen. I heard you have a permanent ban on going to Madison Square Garden. I heard I take too much focus off the game because everyone's cheering for me. I heard that Shaquille O 'Neal once threw you the length of the court during halftime. i hear you only once picked me up and swallowed me like stewart little accidentally why i love anything that references stewart little because i read that anything that i heard fourth grade yeah i heard that's not even a real shirt you just this is an ai is very shimmery yeah it's not sure it works okay let's get dana on the road thank you for doing this dana i know you really push some things around you push your not a big deal i just wanted to be on the road 11 minutes from now driving.
