Q&A with D&D

Yes, I have actually stayed at Airbnbs from time to time. And truth be told, I do really like them. I'm being totally honest right now that I've had great experiences with them. Yeah. I mean, you can have your look at you go get your own place, get your own pool, your own living room. You're not going to walk in an elevator. You're not going to see people when you're walking around in your undergarments. Yeah.

Yes. And if you don't understand what we're talking about, you should go online. What we're saying is you have a house with a kitchen and a bathroom and it's just for you, tailored for you. You liked your Airbnb over a hotel. Yes. And I do think I've had relatives stay nearby and sometimes it's very nice for them to do an Airbnb and have a little house and they're not underfoot. The last thing you want is your house guest to say, excuse me, um,

Where would I find a towel? That's a toughie when it's- Because they're naked? Well, it's like the 1800th time you say, on the towel rack. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, I was going to look there. People don't even think hotels sometimes just go, hey, I'll go there, I'll get an Airbnb. So you won't regret it. Hi, I'm David Spade. Hi, I'm Dan Blarney.

And together we're flying. Together we are here to pump up. Sorry. Okay. Let's do some questions. It's an experimental thing. We're going to do questions and I'm sure we'll never do it again. It'll suck so bad. But Dana, tell them what's going on.

Anything you want to ask us because, you know, we get letters and stuff or people stop us on the street. It's like, why are you wearing that? You know, so if you're inquisitive, you want to know about Saturday Night Live or really anything because I'm a licensed therapist. So I'm also good with advice. Yeah. So David has a...

See, we don't have to pay a sound effect guy because we have silver tongue here. What was that, like spaceship type? That's a good one. It's like a Martian ship. What would you do with this one? Yeah, you could do with anything. It's going well so far. Hit us with your questions. It's flyonthewallatcadence13.com. What does the com stand for? Commissary? Yeah.

I knew you'd know it. All right, let's go to the first caller. We don't know these people. We've never, no idea what the questions are. Hey, this is like a Vegas magician or a hypnotist. I've never met you, right? I don't know what you're going to say. So this is off the cuff. Okay, pop them in. I don't even know the name or anything. Go. Go.

And go. And anytime. And here we go. And three, two, one, and person. And action. This is called the awkward part. And dead air productions. Oh, here comes something. Hey. Hey, what's up guys? It's Warren Grant. I like you already. There you go. Okay, good. What's your name? Dave LaBar. Dave. Hi, Dave. How are you? Thanks for being our first guest on our first- Dave, I like what you've done with that blank wall behind you. It's-

It's just paint so far, right? You're a minimalist. Are you Swedish? Are you Swedish? Because I am. You don't have a lot of furniture in there. No, no. This is my living room. It's just me and my roommate. So there's not much. I've got swingers. I don't know if you guys can see that, but it's a swingers. Oh, I remember. Vince Vaughn, Fabra. Oh, yeah? Sure. That's hip.

Got a big TV. That's not too shabby. Okay, what do you got to say? What are you thinking, Dave? My question is, what SNL character of yours or movie character has been the most popular Halloween costume? Ah. Well, Dave, Ed...

I know what mine is. It's pretty obvious. Okay. Do you have a Hollywood costume? You know, this is a good question because it's probably easier with Dana. I'm guessing you're going to say Garth. Yes. Or Church Lady. Garth. The thing about Garth, I don't know why, but women with long blonde hair constantly come up to me and say, you won't believe this. I played Garth on Halloween. But when I raised my kids up in the mountains of Northern California, I thought, okay, I

I'm getting away from Hollywood, getting away from all that nonsense. First Halloween, I'm at the fireplace. I got stuff going, passing out the candy. I turn around. There's a kid, a big kid. I think it was a boy. Anyway, dressed exactly like Garth on Halloween. I thought you can run, but you cannot. Oh, man. That's great because every girl I know is like, I could play Garth. I have split ends. Well, what's funny is me and my girlfriend were going as Wayne and Garth for Halloween. You are? Yeah. Yeah.

But here's my whole thing about it. I love Wayne's World. Dana, I love you. But at the end of the night, I kind of want to be with like a Playboy bunny or like a sexy nurse. Instead, I'm staring at Garth. Oh, she's Garth. It gets a little meta, a little weird. You're going to undress Garth. Is that what you're saying, Dave? Makes me feel kind of funny. Yeah. Well, just twist your face. Are you doing Wayne? Yeah, I'm Wayne. She's Garth. Yeah, you're going to be, right. Just do the hair and go.

Shaw, right. But tell your, is it your girlfriend? Yeah, yeah. And how, you know, what's with this relationship? Is it taking a side turn? Here we go. Well, you're undressing her as my character, I think. She lives in Vegas. I live here in San Diego, so we're doing the long distance thing, so...

Otherwise known as cheating. No, I'm kidding. Listen, here's what you do. When you get home, just pop out your contacts and she'll look like one of the real housewives. I don't know which one, but it'll be a little blurry and you can fake it with that Garth wig on. But let's, okay, now here's mine. I know it's already over. I know what it is. But now I'm going to answer. I don't think you're going to be right, but go ahead. Gap girl. Well-

I get some Gap Girl, but the most Halloween costumes I get is Joe Dirt. And we can see a lot of people do grownups, but those aren't from SNL. When I hosted, I think we did, Matt Piedmont and I wrote something about

a stripper chaperone named Shane and it kind of looked like Joe Dirt. I think it was right before we did Joe Dirt, but I sort of liked the name Shane and Joe Dirt. I was going to be the name Shane and then we changed it. But the Joe Dirt, even Russell Westbrook went as Joe Dirt. I saw that on his Instagram. Joe Dirt is a good look, right? It's a funny look and it's pretty easy. They're not always that good. My favorite are when babies go as Joe Dirt. Yeah.

because they dress up little kids and babies and they're always cuter and funnier. And the girl goes as Brandy, their dog goes as the dog. Yeah. But that's it. All right, man. Thank you very much. And I love San Diego. And I was just kidding about that other thing. Yeah. And appreciate you calling in, bud. And make sure if you got to put a ring on it at some point. Okay, easy. I'm just saying. Oh, I got to go, guys. Yeah, exactly. Okay.

Bye, everybody. Thanks, Dave. Love you. Yeah, you know, he could put a ring pop on it this week. Oh, he's still there. He's still there. Okay. Well, the thing I love about Dave and his question. Oh, hi, Dave. All right. When you jump off, you can jump off the Zoom because you don't want to be in the waiting room on someone's computer for the next five days. Okay. Well, that was good. I liked that one. It was the first one and he was good. Okay. We broke the seal. That was easy. Okay. Let's try another one. Let's see who's in there.

You got personal, Dana. You got really in there. I like that you're digging a little bit. Well, I'm a licensed therapist. Oh, he's got portrait background. Wow. Wow. He looks like you're suspended in three-dimensional floating in space. I love it. Looks like he's in a commercial. I feel like I'm stoned. Michael, what's up, buddy? What's he doing, Wayne? Hey, guys. Anyway, good to see you. Thanks for being part of our inaugural fan question. You know what? He knew we were going to make fun of his apartment, so he blurted out. Oh.

I don't know. We're not going to make fun of you. Okay, great. No, it's fine. It looks cool. How are you today? I'm great. I'm still sort of in disbelief that this is actually happening. When I got the email, I was like, is this a prank? Like, how did I get this? How did I get the right to do this? But yeah,

It feels, this feels real. Thanks for your question. It's so odd to be on this side of the fence because for most of my life, I once saw Michael Landon in a restaurant when I was 10 years old from Bonanza and I couldn't speak. So the idea that you would be nervous around David Spade and me. He's nervous around you. You should be nervous.

All right, go ahead. I'm sorry. I am nervous. Yeah, no, it's all good. Just to set the stage on where I align, it's Joe Dirt, Master of Disguise. Yes. You're the one. You're the one. Joe Dirt was a hit. Master of Disguise is a great movie. Thank you. Thank you. Michael, okay, go ahead. What do you got? All right, here's the question. So we just...

Be grateful to hear your guys' strategies, processes, music, and gearing up for like a big day of work, whether that's on set or getting ready to perform or something along those lines. We'd just love to hear about your guys' process there. Yeah, we kind of asked Paul McCartney that a little bit before he went on. And now we're being asked. That's kind of cool. He was not as nervous as we were. I did hear that this morning, actually. Yeah.

Yeah, we took a... That was fun. But I was starstruck. You know, I've met him a couple times, but it was very nerve-wracking to see his face on the Zoom just because... Your question should be... His question should be...

What was our prep in just talking to Paul McCartney? That was what we were scared of for like three days ahead of time. I had to go to... I was on vacation in Wyoming with my family. I had to go to a special hotel and because I had to get Wi-Fi and we didn't know if David was going to make it on the Zoom. He was having technical issues. He was... You know, Michael, I...

wanted to kick myself. There's so many things we wanted to ask him and then we just, I froze up. Dana was pretty smooth, but- I didn't know we could talk about the Beatles. I know. Once you did and he sort of got into it, we were like, oh, because we don't want to offend him in any way, shape or form. Yeah. And I once, one of the first, I met him at a party once and he was in line in the loo. Sorry. Really? Me and Paul say loo. This is getting interesting. And then I said, he was nice, but you know, he's all just high, high, you know, he's nice. But-

Then I auctioned off tickets to see him at a fundraiser for Haiti. And I wound up in, it's in my act. I do a whole thing on a day and it's hilarious, but I wound up paying $125,000 for the tickets. So the good news is Haiti is fixed.

But the bad news is, I fixed it. But the bad news is I went to see Paul McCartney. I had to pay all that money. Talk about upsell. And then you're supposed to meet him. And I waited with Kanye. And then they go, oh, he'll see you. He had his guitar. It's just, he and his wife. And then, oh, Joe Walsh came in. Just in that little backstage, little half banger, honey wagon, whatever they call it, trailer.

And he was super nice. And I never found out, did he know it was because I bid on that? Because we called and said, hey, David, wanted to come see Paul and thought they knew what I meant. And they just said, oh, sure. And he said, okay, come say hi. And he never mentioned it. I thought he'd be like-

Holy shit. They don't remember, you know, when you're the most famous person on the planet, you just, you know. But I'll answer your question as Paul. Yeah. I get up, you know, I brush your teeth. I go, I do a teeth. You know, I get a nice little brekkie, you know.

I put on my best trousers, put a little water on my face. I'm ready for my show. To your question, though, if I'm doing a 90-minute stand-up set, I don't normally nap, but I'll try to close my eyes for a while. I'll look at my notes, close my eyes some more. I'll try to eat a light meal, salmon, right at a certain time frame.

make sure I'm hydrated and really do some pushups or something to be optimal as much as I can. David? Yeah, I'm on this kind of a tour right now and Dana and I both don't do stand up all the time like we used to, but this year I'm trying. Unbelievable. And when I got to go out there and do an hour or whatever, even more, Dana does 90, which is even harder. 90 on the toes. 90 and he's fucking doing a lot of shit and his voice and he's physical and

I'm out there mumbling my stupid act, but it is hard. Wait a minute. You got tickets on sale. It's hysterical. But I eat, I can eat almost anything right before I go on. I'll eat a steak. When I was on that Sandler tour, they had a steak backstage every night. I ate a full steak and I went...

And they're like, you're up next. They're introing you. And I go, okay. Full staking now. David Spudler. Yeah. And then I walk out. Hello. But now I know why you're so low key in your act. I'm staking, yeah.

I will have a little bit of chocolate sometimes, like just a square of chocolate. So it's really all food oriented for you guys. Well, I do drink a little. I usually have a few knocks, probably two, but that's it. But then I get scared. I don't want to be too buzzed, but I do have fun out there because it is nerve wracking. I still for sure get nervous. Uh,

You want to, I feel like when people buy tickets and stuff, a responsibility to be optimal as much as possible. Because I was on stage, 1,500 people, and I hadn't done a full 90 in a while. And I got to a really good bit and I was setting it up, bing, bang, boom, boom.

what the fuck is the next line let's bang i only missed two but that was very painful i remember bing and boom so what i did the next gig i had i just repeated the bit in my hotel room over and over again but you want to be optimal you want to be good you want to make them happy so you just want to feel good out there if you can't but a lot of times you know what you're kind of exhausted from travel that's the problem travel is just yeah this weekend mike i'll tell you uh

Because when it's a theater, it is a different vibe when they're paying more, they're excited. You see them on Instagram, like saying I'm in line, I'm this. And I remember this weekend, I wanted to try some different bits. So like Dana, if I haven't done one in a while, I have to say it out loud to figure out all the snags because you can get in the middle of it and you just stop and go-

I don't even know what the ending was. I don't know where I was going with this. So you have to go beginning, middle, end, and then you go, I got it. And then you go out there. And that really, really, really helps. Do you have any follow-up or did that answer your question? No, that's great. I'm grateful for that answer. But I guess my only follow-up would be like, what's your like, do you have like a pump-up music that you go for? Because I'm getting ready to run the New York City Marathon, raise some money for cancer research. And it's like...

Well, I'm listening to Big Booty Mix right now. I don't know if you know what that is, if you've heard of that. I know what big booties are. I would say a song that David loves, and I saw it the other night because my wife and I were watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and it was LL Cool J. Anything with energy, like Mama Said, Knock You Out, would really... That makes me laugh. It's such a funny song. Mama Said, Knock You Out. Anything with high, just massive...

What is heaven? What's the Zeppelin song I go up to? Whole Lotta Love. I go up to Whole Lotta Love. Zeppelin. I go up to Beastie Boys, Sabotage sometimes. In Arizona, I went up to Arizona by Scorpions.

And anything gets you going. But Dana, by the way, should tell you, he's scribbling all these down with his smile. I literally know. He literally was like, oh, one more question. I thought this was a sports show. Oh, you're writing down the music? Well, if you start getting tired toward the end of the marathon, just put on like Peter, Paul, and Mary, like as you're just slowing down. Dana does Puff the Magic Dragon for the first- The last quarter mile. Yeah. I ran a marathon almost killed- Dana, I'd heard- A little birdie told you what? That Dana-

No, Adir from the old Rules of Engagement always wanted me to ask you, if you have some record or some running record or distance record, is that possible? For what? For show business? No. I mean, the oldest living comic. No, for being, you were like a marathon runner and you have some records because you're a good runner. Yeah, I ran a 427 mile at age 17. Wow. That's not bad. See that? Wow.

And I ran a marathon, but it was in August. I also was 17. It was like 90 degrees out. The first 10 miles were uphill. They discontinued it because people died. But I ran that in 304, which is, I could have run 240 at the time, but I was running a lot. That's all. People go, how'd you do that? Well, I just ran a lot. That's all I did.

So you're bumping him up because he's about to do the big monster one. Yeah, I've been training since December and I would be like elated to run it under four hours. I can't even imagine what it would take to run it in three minutes and four seconds. That sounds loose. Well, three hours, but it's seven minute pace, but it was with a lot of hills. This one's flat. Don't go out too fast. Always stay aerobic, not anaerobic. So like just below a talking thing.

And just make sure that you go out a little slower than you even want. And you want to have negative splits if you can. Get to 13.1 halfway. That's when you, what I call, put the hammer down and dominate your competition. My advice is when you get finished, just show girls your step counter.

And just go, hey, did you do 400,000 steps today? Oh, that's me. That's right. Can I buy you a drink? That's a billion steps. Well, that's really cool you're doing that. Is your knees okay? Your hips? You got good shoes? You're all right? Yep. Everything's good right now. I'm just happy to be where I am.

Good for you. Well, congratulations. Good job. Thank you. And thank you for checking in on us. Thank you guys. This is awesome. Take care. All right. Peace out, bro. Love you, bro. I feel like I was slumping during him, but I'm back up straight. You can't see all the land cruises on my shirt. I'm a nibbler Dana. And I think you are too, but you always know me that I just have to keep the energy going. And I think, cause I learned from my dad pistachios,

are a good source of just, you know, nibble, wake you up. They're always delicious. I actually named a character in a movie I did called Master of Disguise. The lead character's name is pistachio. That's how much I love pistachios. Ooh. Yeah. Well, wonderful pistachios have literally come out of their shells. It's the same taste. It's delicious, but...

It's a lot less work. As you know, cracking them open can be a little bit of a job. Less cracking, more snacking is what I say. That's what I say. That's what you say. And I'm going to use that when my wife goes to the store. Wonderful pistachios. No shells flavors come in a variety of award-winning flavors, including chili roasted. Honey roasted. Honey roasted.

Sea salt and vinegar, smoky barbecue. Sea salt and pepper is one I like the most. And I'm going to try this jalapeno lime. They don't have a red, red necky flavor just yet. Yeah, look at him there. Red, red necky loves pistachios. I like to crack things open and put them in my mouth.

Come and eat some. Come and eat some. You could do that. Spice lovers go nuts. It's time to get spicy with Wonderful Pistachios' newest no-shells flavor, jalapeno lime. With a wide range of flavors, there's a Wonderful Pistachios product for every taste bud and occasion. From enjoying with family and friends to taking them with you on the go, which is what I do.

You're on. Kim. Hi. We both go like this. It's literally this small. You know how it puts in the corner of your Zoom? Yeah. Yeah. All right, Kim, what's going on? You look very nice today. Oh, thank you. So I was just wondering about venue size. Yeah.

And I thought, does it matter? Does it matter? Does venue size matter? You know what? Go ahead. Well, go ahead. Finish your thought. Well, so the thought just simply was that, you know, first of all, I have a very hard like 10 row rule. I will, if I have to sit more than 10 rows back, I'm not going. Oh, wow. Just be anything else.

So, but when I went and saw David recently, I was in the front row and, you know, you're yakking with a nine-year-old kid, you know, in the front row. Do you remember it? To the guy next to me. And so it's kind of like, it feels very spontaneous and very personal if you're sitting in the audience. Yeah. Right. So,

As you scale up in venue size, at what point do you lose that and how does it actually change either the material you deliver or how you deliver it? And does that connection really, and what's the largest venue you've actually ever been in where you felt like maybe you lost that connection?

I'll start. Kind of a sophisticated question. Because she was at... Are you a performer? No. No, I spend a lot of time with performers. Yeah. You go to a lot of shows too, right? Okay. Yeah. I love going to shows. I'm like you where I will spend money on scalping tickets because... Or whatever. Just to try to get up close or it's not worth it to me. And I...

I think you're talking about Saratoga, possibly, the show. The winery there. Was the kid with you? Was it your kid? No, it wasn't my kid. No, they were sitting a little farther down.

farther down and then there was like a 10 year old in the front row oh I've had that you go out in like 8 or 10 year olds there and then you know you think oh that's a fuck bomb and that bit's a little too sophisticated yeah but I had fun with this kid I actually liked that show a lot it was outdoors it was beautiful great for an outdoor theater and it was fun to refer back this kid of course I did not know he was going to be there I didn't know I mean you just walk out you're kind of playing off in between jokes you look around you got his name

I don't know his name. You didn't get his name? Because usually you go, hey, Michael. Yeah, I go back to him. But one of the things also is you can't really change the act for this one kid to rip off the audience because you start going like Dana's saying, I can't say this joke. Unless you mention it and then you do it anyway, like it's kind of funny. But I don't want to, I only change it if my mom's there.

Honestly, I only change it. Oh, really? Oh. But with venue size, I wish the ones we're doing now are pretty big, about 2,025. And I would say more than that, I would like to have a video screen because I make a lot of faces. Dana's the same way. A lot of the goofy stuff is here.

And I want everyone to see in the balcony and everything. The big screens do help. I played a 4,700-seat county fair last weekend in Fresno. And I was halfway. Yeah. And it was gigantic. And you just have to pump more energy and remember not to get too tied up with the people in the first row. And then there was a little like a –

One band started playing rhythm and blues really loud in the middle of my act at another kiosk at the State Fair. I'm like, what? I just started singing along with them. But yeah, it depends on the room. Sometimes rooms are big and they play kind of small and vice versa. But if you can get up front. But first row, that's a little tight. I don't want to... You're in the light then a little bit, right? You might get lit up too. Well, you know, so I don't worry so much about that. I try to be very like...

Yeah. Yeah. But, but anyway, yeah. So, so thanks for the answer. Appreciate it. That's nice. Hopefully there's a little kid next to you. No, that was a fun show. I hope you thought so because I liked that show. We had a great time. Oh my God. I actually laughed so hard. I blew perfectly good vodka out my nose. Literally. It was really. Wow. That's a t-shirt. Perfectly good vodka. Yeah.

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I really did enjoy it. Well, if Dana comes up there, see him next time. And I appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, thank you very much. Pleasure. Thank you. She's very sweet. Look, she had a good question and then she wrapped it up, which is never, you know. I know. Which is nice. That was unusual. She gave the whoa sign like too much, guy. Just is it good or bad? They're kind of sophisticated questions about performing.

You know, Dana, I think we have a connection. We've been friends for a long time. And for this episode of Fly on the Wall, we've partnered with eHarmony, which isn't us. eHarmony is a dating app to find someone you can be yourself with. We are not dating. I want to clarify that. But the connection is what you want in a dating partner.

just someone like, if you found someone that listened to this podcast, that's somewhat of a connection. And then you sort of build on that. You want someone with some common ground. Yeah. It's not, it, look, if you want to connect romantically over, you know, super fly or fly on the wall, uh,

It just makes us happy. You don't want to be watching The Godfather and the person next to you goes, this movie sucks. You want to- So dumb. Yeah. You want to connect on all issues and harmonize in life. Similar sensibility, similar sense of humor, and similar sense of sense. I don't like when they watch The Godfather and they're like, everyone in this movie is so old. I'm like, they're 40.

Watch 2001 Space Odyssey. Too much of this movie is in outer space. I don't like it. When do they land? When do they land? Why is that stupid red light acting so silly? Who's friends with a robot? We know dating isn't easy. That's why we partnered with eHarmony because dating is different on eHarmony. They want you to find someone who gets you, someone you can be comfortable with.

Yeah. I mean, the whole idea is you're going to take a compatibility quiz, helps your personality come out in your profile, which makes all the profiles on eHarmony way more interesting and fun to read. So I think this is the goal of dating sites, and I think eHarmony does it great. It's just finding somebody you're compatible with.

So get started today with a compatibility quiz. So you can find some and you can be yourself with. Get Who Gets You on eHarmony. Sign up today. Oh, we got a side pony. Look at that. All the hair is to the side. There's a name for that. I don't know if it's side pony.

I have my wrong name. Sorry. Oh, yeah. It's Alice? It's not Alice? It's not Alice. I write murder mysteries, and I guess I was Alice last time. I like that. You write murder mysteries? Yeah, just as a side note.

Oh, when did Bob Ross paint that painting behind you? I know. It's so beautiful. Let's put a little flower here. We're going to put some smoke, some fun smoke. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. What do you got for us? Thank you guys so much. I just have to say that I've been watching you since I was five years old on TV, so...

Me and my sisters, we all love you. We watched you on Saturday Night Live. We love all your movies. But Dana, we really identified with your movie Opportunity Next. You did. Which I've never heard you talk about on this podcast yet. But we loved it because of all the scheming and pranking because that's our favorite pastime to do together. Yeah.

So just like what your movie's about. There was a lot of scheming and pranking, yeah. Tell us the log line sort of opportunity for the people. Well, it was a guy who was sort of on the lam and he hid out in this house, right? And pretended to be really rich.

And then, you know, to get away from the cops and stuff, he did the characters and he manipulated people. You probably know it better than I do at this point. I was about to say Dana's like going in. And then the house you were living in, the family thought you were the guy that was supposed to be there. Yes. And so you had to fall in love with their daughter. Yeah.

And then they found out. I like this. God, it's a better movie than I thought. I should have read the script. I saw it back then. I should have read the script. I saw it back then. And I thought it was funny because, you know, Dana, it's like,

A classic Hollywood thing, like get a guy that's funny at characters, that can play anything, and then they find a movie, finally goes, oh, he can do this. Because I think the poster, you had your hair greased back, you were dressed all suave. I was, you know, didn't know what I was doing, but it was, it ended up pretty good. People do like it. Yeah. Yeah, it's really good. So my question is about pranks. What epic pranks happened backstage at Saturday Night Live? Oh, wow.

- Pranks. - Let me think. - We got you, pranks. - It wasn't really a prank, but I remember Chris wiped his butt with my USA Today once. I guess that's a prank. - That's probably the biggest crank. - That's it. - That's it? - Little coat. - What?

Oh, well. You know, we didn't have much time. We were just scrambling, trying to put the show together. There wasn't much time for frivolity in that way. Don't you think? Well, of course. I know you're trying to get your sketch together, but look at this big, funny clown nose. Yeah, it's not like the Ocean's Eleven set where George Clooney has a fake snake and he's throwing it at Brett. But I will say, yeah, the scene in Tommy Boy was based, Chris Farley and I had an office where

you remember, Dane, like I'm facing a wall with that wooden desk and a legal pad and then Chris is behind me doing absolutely nothing.

And I was writing and he would go, David, turn around. And I go, no. And he goes, David, he's like a child. And I go, Chris, because I had a little Levi jacket. I go, if this is Fat Guy in a Little Coat, it's not funny anymore. And he goes, no, it's not. If you're wearing my little coat and you're going to say Fat Guy in a Little Coat, I don't want it because I have to write. And he goes, no, it's a new thing. And then I turn around and he's got it on. He goes, Fat Guy in a Little Coat, don't you quit on it.

Well, Farley is probably the chief. That's my sister's favorite sketch. Yeah. So that turned into a dead spot in Tommy Boy where we're just selling brake pads. And then you go, oh, what if we threw this in there just to spice it up a bit? Well,

I love it. That's the kind of funny thing that lasts forever because it doesn't really... Where's the joke? It's just a fat guy put on a little coat, but it's so Chris. And he moves around, he puts on a little coat. Guess what? I'm a fat guy in a little coat. So that's why it's so funny. And he ripped the coat. But yeah, Chris was a prankster. He would just burst into the writer's room naked at midnight. Hi, everybody! But he was one of a kind. That's probably the most...

the closest we had to pranks was just Chris constantly being naked. - And one time Dennis Miller had the fake rattlesnake egg thing, you know. Open it up, Carvey, it's a gift, okay? Popped out a minute, okay? Thought it was a rattler for a second, all right? - Thought it made its way from fucking Scottsdale. - Do you do pranks on your friends? - Yes, well, my sister is the mastermind and she just tells me what to do 'cause I don't have any shame.

And then I just do it to make my friends laugh. So like she told me to put on white pants and then put chocolate frosting on my butt. And then I walk into stores and I just say, and then when they point, then you pivot perfectly. So then they see that you crept your pants. And then someone quietly films, they film it and they show it.

Yeah. So it's really stupid. You could do a reality show on Pluto television. She's like, then we take a can of tomato soup. We're like, okay, that's enough. On the call sheet, it would say, butt poofs prank. Yeah. Well, I like that she's saying that she does them too, because they're hard to kind of think up. And you know what you have? And this sounds crazy. She has phone fingers. Yeah.

Good iPhone fingers. You know when girls take a selfie like this, they go like that in the mirror? Look at that. Go like that with your fingers. See? She's got the old fingers in the house. Cool fingers. This is something now I notice and I can't not notice on people. Okay. But that really probably wasn't why you were calling. But anyway, thank you for calling. Thank you. Do my giant hands bother you?

I do it like this. I go, are my hands too big? Is that a problem with people? It was just, it was a COVID thing, you know. They go, it all grew. Thank you, Angela. And keep listening if you get a chance. And keep on pranking. I love you guys. Appreciate you. She should have like that keep on pranking trucking shirt. I love the innocence of saying smearing chocolate or something on your pants and walking around a store, but did it with such innocence and frivolity. All right. Well, folks.
