RE-RELEASE - Adam Sandler (LIVE from LA)

Speaker 1 Hey David, when it comes to gifting, you know, I've learned there are two types of presents, okay?

Speaker 1 The ones that get returned and the ones that instantly become a favorite. Do you agree?

Speaker 7 Yeah, that's Jenny Bird jewelry definitely falls in the second category.

Speaker 7 These designs, as you know, are very modern. They're timeless.

Speaker 9 Always feel special.

Speaker 1 Oh, isn't that special?

Speaker 7 That makes them my secret weapon when I want to give a gift that really, you know, lands. That's why Jenny Bird makes it easy.

Speaker 5 The packaging is beautiful.

Speaker 7 It's very thoughtful. The pieces are comfy enough to wear every day.
Yep. And they ship fast.
That's perfect if you're a last-minute shopper like me.

Speaker 12 That's right.

Speaker 1 I mean, I just want to do this when I hear that.

Speaker 13 Way to go.

Speaker 14 Way to go.

Speaker 6 And because the styles are so versatile, they always make an outfit feel pulled together, David.

Speaker 1 Without trying too hard, David, not talking about you.

Speaker 1 Some of my wife's go-to's are the best-selling Florence earrings, which I always get compliments, and the Remy Bengal, lightweight, water-resistant, and just as good stacked as it is on its own.

Speaker 2 These are the gifts you'll actually want to keep.

Speaker 7 And you can get 20% off your first order with Jenny Bird by visiting jenny-bird.com and using code F-O-T-W at checkout. You know, when it gets colder, I always fall in the same trap.

Speaker 7 Heavy meals, too much takeout, and suddenly I'm like, why do my jeans hate me?

Speaker 5 I know.

Speaker 12 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'll open the fridge in December and it's like half a pizza and an orange from 1997.

Speaker 6 Not a lot of healthy options, David.

Speaker 2 But here's the thing: staying on track doesn't have to be impossible.

Speaker 1 Our new friends at forkfulmeals.com totally flips that script. Honestly, I didn't think I'd stick with it, but these meals show up fresh every week, chef-prepared, real food, not frozen mystery mush.

Speaker 1 Just heat it, eat it, and boom, you're not calling calling DoorDash for the fifth time that week.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's not just about eating better. It's about time.
I'd rather spend 30 minutes working on a bit for my hilarious act than 30 minutes staring into my oven going,

Speaker 7 is this thing even on?

Speaker 17 Right?

Speaker 6 This is that one little thing that keeps you sane during the cold months.

Speaker 1 No stress, no junk, just done.

Speaker 1 But here's the deal: do it now.

Speaker 1 If you wait till the holiday slump hits, you'll be knee-deep in stuffing and regret.

Speaker 1 Head to forkfoldmeals.com and use the code pod50 for 50 off your first order all right that's forkful meals.com code pod50 that's pod50 seriously don't wait your future self will thank you yes thank you for not feeding me the leftover lasagna for the 12th time

Speaker 7 Dana, you know, Adam, friend of the show, friend of ours, happy Gilmore coming out July 25th.

Speaker 3 We thought we would re-air his live show because it was a lot of fun.

Speaker 7 We got a lot of good feedback about it. We cracked it.
It was one of our best. One of our few.

Speaker 1 It was like at the Will Turn. It was like 2,000 people.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah, wasn't it at the Will Turn? That's right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was kind of early on in our tenure.

Speaker 1 It was great to have him live in LA.

Speaker 2 That was fun.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Back when I used to comb my hair a little bit.

Speaker 17 And now,

Speaker 1 of course, Happy Gilmore 2 had to happen.

Speaker 23 The fans wouldn't have allowed it.

Speaker 2 it's back and it's out

Speaker 1 July 25th on Netflix.

Speaker 7 We had a lot of laughs. We talked about so many things, and then we did a few act outs in front of the crowd.
When there's a crowd, they're always trying to ham it up a little bit more than usual.

Speaker 7 Oh, definitely.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I went full, full ham on a couple times on that one.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7 I went full ham bone. And

Speaker 7 Adam came to play, which was good. He didn't walk through it.

Speaker 3 He was great.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 7 let's hope you like it. Here it is.

Speaker 1 Here it is. Happy Gilmore himself.

Speaker 49 So he had two, and then I go, just go buy some.

Speaker 63 And the people in the cashiers were waving me off, like, don't send him over here.

Speaker 3 And so he went over there, and then I just, I got up and left because I got scared.

Speaker 49 But that's all.

Speaker 68 Adam, our kids tonight.

Speaker 31 Let's bring that guy out right now.

Speaker 58 Excellent.

Speaker 39 Look at man.

Speaker 3 Let's look at a clip.

Speaker 42 You met a crazy man in a McDonald's.

Speaker 14 That's pretty good, though, Dave. Anyway, Adam.

Speaker 4 Remember that?

Speaker 50 Maybe the crazy man you saw your first day in New York?

Speaker 14 What did I say?

Speaker 50 Where you saw a man masturbating in the park?

Speaker 6 Yeah, we thought, yeah, he was masturbating in the park, and we're walking by. We just got to Manhattan.

Speaker 14 We're like, hey, let's go walk in the park.

Speaker 45 And he's masturbating. We're kind of trying not to look.

Speaker 6 And he goes, hey, have you got the time?

Speaker 31 He's jacking off on a car bench, but he's really worried in a park bench.

Speaker 41 Sorry.

Speaker 6 Anyway, yes, Adam.

Speaker 19 You have a memory like a steel trap.

Speaker 74 I loved it. I loved it.

Speaker 6 We had some fucking crazy times

Speaker 50 together was the best.

Speaker 50 Payment would come by, we'd be like, all right, we got to listen for a while.

Speaker 64 No, no.

Speaker 43 He'd have a McDonald's or remember the jack of the box story.

Speaker 53 It was like 20 minutes.

Speaker 38 But we, yeah, we had some crazy. We had that one crazy gig where we got lost.

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 50 Remember that? Me and I went on a great gig I opened for you. You were the king, and you let me do 10 minutes before you.

Speaker 16 It was upstate New York, and there was no cell phones, and we started getting lost and we just realized, wow, we're really, really lost.

Speaker 43 So we showed up like four hours late and the students were just sitting up in a gym like this, dead silence, like in the church.

Speaker 50 Yeah, they were pissed, right?

Speaker 13 So I go, go get him, Adam.

Speaker 50 Yeah, you sent me out there.

Speaker 41 Did you have your guitar with you?

Speaker 50 No, I wasn't. guitaring then, but I just, Cajun Man just started.

Speaker 14 Oh.

Speaker 50 It was Cajun Man, so I said, onion.

Speaker 50 And they gave me some sort of noise.

Speaker 11 And I was like, okay, this is a new life I got.

Speaker 11 Fucking Cajun, man.

Speaker 29 But I said.

Speaker 74 I did 15 minutes.

Speaker 50 I did fine. Yeah, you said I did great, but I probably did fine.
But then you went up and annihilated.

Speaker 33 I don't remember it that way. Yes.

Speaker 68 Yes.

Speaker 61 I thought we both had a great time.

Speaker 3 Was yours at eight minutes of Cajun, man?

Speaker 50 Anytime something didn't work, I'd go, funny old?

Speaker 75 And we ate Cajun afterwards.

Speaker 23 We found a place in the Pocono Mountains or something, right?

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 50 we tipped back a few, drove back.

Speaker 46 No, we went crazy in the car, let's admit it.

Speaker 40 On the way back, Adam and I just got a case of the fuckets, and the car was full of beer, and we started drinking it, and then you brought out cigars or somewhere some cigars.

Speaker 75 So we're drinking beer and having cigars and playing Rod Stewart

Speaker 28 for like hours.

Speaker 22 And we went crazy, and we ran out of beer, and then we went to a liquor store, but you were with me, and you looked 15 at the time.

Speaker 27 That's right.

Speaker 42 I had an ID, but he goes, I'm not selling it to you because of him.

Speaker 49 And he pointed at you.

Speaker 63 And then we got him on.

Speaker 50 I said to him, Remember, I said, onion?

Speaker 51 He goes, shut up, Mark.

Speaker 40 Usually that worked.

Speaker 29 They would just hand us a six-pack.

Speaker 59 Onion.

Speaker 59 And we went,

Speaker 49 we went crazy with that.

Speaker 3 So let's get to when Adam started Stand-Up because you started before me, but you were in New Hampshire.

Speaker 71 I did start before you?

Speaker 3 I think, no, no, maybe it was about the same time. I started when I was like 18 and a half.

Speaker 2 And then you,

Speaker 12 how old were you?

Speaker 50 I was 17.

Speaker 50 Oh, when you started Stand-up, where did you go I went on senior year in high school my my brother told me my brother was going to Boston University and then he said remember I told you oh somebody went to Boston University here no hey they're like whatever you want out of them

Speaker 50 it's a good school congratulations

Speaker 50 anyways my brother we were at dinner and he said

Speaker 50 hey I got you that lottery ticket I told you remember you had to wait online and get a ticket to go on stage And I said, oh, yeah.

Speaker 52 Oh my God, you got that?

Speaker 50 And because he mentioned it a couple of months earlier, and then I went,

Speaker 50 he said, it's tonight. So I put on a dress shirt.
I remember I had a nice dress shirt with stripes. I folded, I didn't know how to button this.
I was never good at buttoning my own.

Speaker 50 So I rolled it up like spade right there.

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then I. Because I still don't know how to do it.

Speaker 68 I don't know.

Speaker 18 Is that happening still?

Speaker 66 It's funny that you would think to wear the first time, because

Speaker 3 I wore a

Speaker 3 shirt and a tie.

Speaker 50 The first time you went on, really?

Speaker 17 That's nice.

Speaker 3 Because I wanted to look, also, I wanted to look older. I looked very young, and I had to go to a real bar to do it.
And the age was 19 in Arizona.

Speaker 77 What was the bar?

Speaker 3 There's one called Chuckles, and then Anderson's fifth is.

Speaker 15 Chuckles?

Speaker 61 I know they all have goofy names, gutbusters.

Speaker 16 Was that in Scottsdale?

Speaker 3 The looney bin. Yeah, Chuckles was the first place I went on.

Speaker 3 And let me stop your story. So you, but where could you go on a bar when you're that young?

Speaker 50 I went on at a place called Stitches Comedy Club.

Speaker 7 See, Stitches.

Speaker 50 Stitches in Boston.

Speaker 2 You're 17.

Speaker 50 17. When I was in the United States,

Speaker 3 it's so funny. They let anyone go on young.

Speaker 50 I didn't even know what to talk about. I was driving down with my brother, and he said, Did you write anything? And I said, No, no, no, I just

Speaker 5 wing it.

Speaker 29 Your brother was like your manager.

Speaker 50 Yeah, he 100% was just going, you got to do something with your life. And so I,

Speaker 50 there's nothing else you could do. You really can handle nothing.
So

Speaker 50 I went on. I went on.
I did the five minutes. I had a retainer

Speaker 50 because I was still young. And I remember just total silence.
I was saying stuff that, you know, that I thought they would love, that my family's loved for years. And they would just go in.

Speaker 50 And then I remember hearing one guy go, he's got a retainer.

Speaker 66 And I was like, smiling.

Speaker 18 Dana, do you remember any fun? I didn't remember your jokes?

Speaker 50 Didn't say anything that made sense.

Speaker 58 There's nothing to remember. I don't even know what happened.

Speaker 50 I used to get that blank mind like the first two years, three years of comedy,

Speaker 50 all day long I'd be practicing and all the shit written down and like I'm going to say this, then that, then this. And then I'd get on stage and I'd be like, well, I fucking hate it here.

Speaker 3 Why am I here right now?

Speaker 42 Space out.

Speaker 50 You guys space out, I'm sure.

Speaker 33 Back in the middle. I'd blank out all the time.

Speaker 43 I would be nervous all day long, just adrenalized, sweating, just a bright red neck, terrified, pacing.

Speaker 6 It's funny because this was while I was sleeping.

Speaker 1 No, my point is this.

Speaker 19 No, it was stage fright.

Speaker 6 I mean, you had just basically,

Speaker 16 well, I don't want to go forward, but by the time you got on SNL, it seemed like you had a lot of confidence pretty quickly then.

Speaker 79 I don't know how, but yes.

Speaker 16 I'm just curious about a little bit about early Adam, just for a second.

Speaker 14 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 16 You guys are curious about what made Adam sound like I just,

Speaker 49 I mean, you know, whatever you want to, I just, I do this sometimes with our guests.

Speaker 16 Just, you know, a favorite toy or a favorite bike or your first guitar.

Speaker 23 Would you have memories about any of those?

Speaker 24 All of those, I have to say.

Speaker 50 Okay, favorite toy. Favorite toy was probably the fucking Evil Knievel guitar.

Speaker 68 Oh,

Speaker 68 SSP.

Speaker 28 Evil Knievel. SSP, making a jump.

Speaker 23 So you twin it up and pull it.

Speaker 50 You'd create your own little jump. You'd put pillows and cardboard and fucking Evil Knievel would fly off of that.
That was fun.

Speaker 13 I would scratch my mother's tile, and she would yell at me for that.

Speaker 50 What was the second one you said?

Speaker 13 A bike.

Speaker 12 Stingrays were big when I was a kid.

Speaker 22 Did you have a bike that was a big chariot for you?

Speaker 18 Mongoose.

Speaker 17 I had a mongoose. A mongoose.

Speaker 3 I had a mono shock.

Speaker 3 I used to do jumps.

Speaker 80 It was a little,

Speaker 12 it was very daredevilly of me.

Speaker 2 I'd love to see you doing jumps.

Speaker 69 That would be awesome. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 65 Now he is doing a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of cross-up tabletop. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 13 But I also had the Evil Knievel.

Speaker 3 That Evil Knievel thing was really good on the commercials about jumps. and then in person, it's fucking impossible.

Speaker 11 It was

Speaker 50 just a bunch of the wall and stuff.

Speaker 64 Yeah, yeah, I just go over and fall.

Speaker 63 But when did you get, when did you be mute?

Speaker 3 When were you musical?

Speaker 50 Can I tell him about my fucking bicycle?

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 5 Fucking so.

Speaker 59 Hey, we're new to this.

Speaker 11 He's going to hear from me.

Speaker 50 We're moving on from my bicycle.

Speaker 4 You took over the whole bike thing.

Speaker 5 No, I thought it was.

Speaker 29 I had just heard a failure.

Speaker 58 We're learning.

Speaker 62 We're learning today, which is great.

Speaker 61 Dana, you're fantastic.

Speaker 58 Thank you.

Speaker 50 It's not true but david no so i had i always wanted a huffy i wanted a huffy like everybody else now tell me about a huffy because that's huffy has like the a longer stingy seat so it was like a stingray like a stingray stingray's got a banana seat thick banana so a friend could ride in the back yes yes a huff a huffy i had more of a cushiony seat more it was like a banana but a little thicker for like dirt riding right like if you write

Speaker 30 was it sold at sears was it from Sears?

Speaker 50 Well, here's the problem with the Adam Sandler Huffy. So I said to my family I'd like a Huffy.
Of course, I didn't get the Huffy. I got something else, a green bike.
They took the seat off.

Speaker 50 My father bought a Huffy seat and put it on my fucking

Speaker 11 bike.

Speaker 50 And I would go down to Webster School, my elementary school, and everyone's popping wheelies and on their Huffies. And I showed up with my Huffy seat and the green bike.

Speaker 11 And I was like, hey, and they were like, get the fuck out of here with that fake huffy shit.

Speaker 22 Was that a budgetary thing or teaching a lesson for your dad?

Speaker 50 There was a time when my dad, he didn't tell us. He was so cool.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 83 He didn't have a job for like a year and a half.

Speaker 50 And I remember he just kept it from us. I'd be like, dad's always fucking home.
This is incredible.

Speaker 46 And I would ask him, I'd still ask for shit.

Speaker 20 I'd be like, I saw this thing on TV.

Speaker 58 Let's go.

Speaker 11 Give me that.

Speaker 4 And he was like yeah we'll get to that i was like we'll get to that what the is happening wow so it was out of love

Speaker 83 when he did the huffies but i think he yeah he had to kind of build that fake huffy for me were you a daredevil at all did you get hurt as a kid did you

Speaker 50 things break things i mean i was definitely tougher as a kid i was more fearless as a kid now i was a good skier I was a good skier in New Hampshire.

Speaker 79 New Hampshire skier, yeah.

Speaker 50 So we skied all the time.

Speaker 74 You, Dana?

Speaker 16 You ski? No, I was for rich people.

Speaker 6 We would have a little, uh, we'd have a little lane or tube. We'd go to like, you know,

Speaker 2 snowball and just go down like that.

Speaker 23 But the big people out there could pay the money to go up this night.

Speaker 50 Oh, but there was no money. We had Huffy skis.
They were fake.

Speaker 75 But in New Hampshire, your mountains were like 300 feet, right?

Speaker 19 So we were in Northern California.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 16 So how did you get hurt a lot?

Speaker 17 Did you just fall?

Speaker 50 I used to, I was pretty good. I used to do.
Back in the day, you did a helicopter.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah, on the skis you had.

Speaker 63 And that was like a big deal.

Speaker 50 Jesus. Now it's fucking, I don't even think anyone does a helicopter anymore, right?

Speaker 50 You never see these guys on TV pop out a helicopter. They're always doing those flips and shit.

Speaker 23 Well, they could do anything they want.

Speaker 87 It's

Speaker 14 insane on folks now. It doesn't even make sense.

Speaker 50 There's one guy in my hometown, Robotile, his last name,

Speaker 50 Jay Robotile. He used to do flips.
He'd fucking, was at this place, McIntyre. It was a little ski area in my hometown.

Speaker 50 They'd build a jump for this guy, and no one else could do it, but he would just come down, knock out a flip. Everybody like, what the fuck? Yeah.

Speaker 16 You go down, and then you go up.

Speaker 14 He leans forward, gets in the air, he leans forward, does a full flip.

Speaker 28 Oh, a front flip.

Speaker 28 Front flip.

Speaker 28 But you would go like a complete

Speaker 33 360. I could do it.
And then land your ski.

Speaker 50 And then land. Yeah, I was cool.

Speaker 79 Thank you.

Speaker 29 Yeah. Thank you.

Speaker 50 I was very good when I was like up to 15. And then I started getting scared.
Okay. Not being as cool.

Speaker 46 So then when did did the guitar come in?

Speaker 16 Like, I got a drum set at 14. When did you get a guitar?

Speaker 50 Yeah, and you're great on drums. We had some good jams back.

Speaker 23 We had some good jams, too.

Speaker 23 Yes.

Speaker 50 My guitar happened, my dad had an acoustic. Okay.
So he used to play, he'd always sing Mariah, the

Speaker 77 away out west

Speaker 24 for wind and smoke and fire.

Speaker 28 And they caught the wind and sun down it

Speaker 55 And they called the wind marriage.

Speaker 17 So thank you. You didn't know that one?

Speaker 58 Do you guys know that? I did.

Speaker 76 I knew when to be quiet.

Speaker 3 You beat me down so much, I didn't join in.

Speaker 3 Even though I have the voice of an angel.

Speaker 28 So you got it.

Speaker 6 Well, we'll get David in on

Speaker 6 the side.

Speaker 25 Sorry,

Speaker 18 yeah.

Speaker 16 Favorite entertainment that you saw in your formative years, I say five to 13, like TV show or movie that fucking blew your mind for a comedy

Speaker 50 I like that yeah I like um

Speaker 50 my favorite thing I think the thing that knocked me out when I was yeah I love movies I loved all the comedies like I'm sure everybody up here you know the Melbrooks and all that stuff

Speaker 50 you know yeah young Frankenstein and Simon Movie and Blazing

Speaker 63 all that stuff got me but I'll tell you what really got me I look back at it.

Speaker 50 I think I was in Florida or Florida, as you would say, David.

Speaker 24 But I was in Florida.

Speaker 76 Florida.

Speaker 52 Oh!

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 50 And so my parents took me to see

Speaker 50 Eddie Fisher. He sang.

Speaker 28 Oh.

Speaker 9 Eddie Fisher.

Speaker 50 And somebody went on before him. Oh,

Speaker 14 from Singing in the Rain.

Speaker 50 You go on stage, you can do that kind of thing. And I kind of like wanted to get into that.

Speaker 7 That's interesting.

Speaker 3 That sort of turned you on just a performing. Like, they didn't know if you'd even like it, and then you really liked it.

Speaker 50 I guess so. I mean, I don't think they were trying to talk me into it.
They were just trying to have a nice night out in Florida. And then I was just kind of locked into it.

Speaker 50 I used to sing a lot in the car. I used to sing a lot.
My mother always said I sang good. My father would just stare like this.

Speaker 38 What would you sing?

Speaker 54 You remember? Just songs off the radio?

Speaker 4 Oh, my God.

Speaker 50 It was a pain in the ass because

Speaker 50 I sang a lot of Johnny Mathes for my mother.

Speaker 24 Oh, really?

Speaker 50 She'd always sing Chances Are.

Speaker 50 And I'd be like, Chances are,

Speaker 83 because I wear a silicon.

Speaker 50 Whatever I did.

Speaker 11 And it was fine, not great.

Speaker 49 Chances are you.

Speaker 80 You used to see him.

Speaker 50 Yeah, big vibrato.

Speaker 87 And

Speaker 50 I sang Maria from Westside Story. I sang.
This is when I was little, you know, like 10.

Speaker 50 And but my mother always said I had a good voice, and my father was like, He's all right.

Speaker 28 And

Speaker 16 didn't your mom, who was such a cheerleader, that if Sinoptra came on, she would say, You're better.

Speaker 50 Oh, yeah, you could do that.

Speaker 10 Yeah,

Speaker 28 supportive mom.

Speaker 48 Oh, you know what's funny?

Speaker 50 My mother, speaking of that, my uncle worked

Speaker 50 at a clothing company. And when I went to NYU,

Speaker 50 I was a stand-up.

Speaker 8 There you go.

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 50 I was a stand-up. I was making no money like all of us.
And my mother called my uncle and said, Can Adam model for you?

Speaker 39 And

Speaker 50 my uncle was like, You know, I'll talk to them.

Speaker 62 And she's like, He really needs to work.

Speaker 58 Help him model.

Speaker 50 And I'm like, Really? I'm a model?

Speaker 71 She's like, You're gorgeous.

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 28 then my uncle.

Speaker 63 She'd be a wonderful.

Speaker 50 And then my uncle had to just go.

Speaker 50 He fucking looks terrible in a suit.

Speaker 14 He's not good.

Speaker 50 There's not a good angle on him.

Speaker 18 You own a suit now, don't you?

Speaker 3 What? You own a suit now.

Speaker 50 I actually, because of my daughter's bot mitzvah, I had to get that fucking suit dry clean this morning.

Speaker 50 I don't think it's going to fit either. I've been swelling up.

Speaker 52 What can you do?

Speaker 53 All right, so.

Speaker 3 Go ahead, Dana. You had so many questions.

Speaker 17 I know. Well,

Speaker 23 then you go to.

Speaker 21 That's your hero, Adam. He doesn't know anything.

Speaker 11 Yeah,

Speaker 20 you're kind of up in that area.

Speaker 64 Toy bike.

Speaker 49 Now, I got to have a roadmap.

Speaker 28 This is good, man.

Speaker 30 Wilt joke.

Speaker 38 Stud boy.

Speaker 50 The stud boy is.

Speaker 67 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 Wilt joke.

Speaker 12 Now, Chris Rock called that one of the best pure jokes ever written.

Speaker 33 Thank you, Chris.

Speaker 19 And that was early stand-up.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Yes. I mean, David, you want to.

Speaker 6 Because I'm just thinking of Adam grows up, he goes to NYU, and then he's in New York, he's 17.

Speaker 6 Within six years, you're on Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 56 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 So what happened in those six years, David?

Speaker 3 Oh, well, Adam was a great stand-up, had a very unique perspective, interesting delivery, good, memorable joke. It was more like one joke, one joke.

Speaker 14 One joke, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah, not really stories.

Speaker 9 It was kind of like that.

Speaker 3 And I wasn't even, you know, we didn't have YouTube, all that shit, so I didn't know you till I actually physically saw you.

Speaker 61 Yeah, it was, oh, that was in the Valley, it was at the improv and the Valley.

Speaker 3 You ever go to a Valley Improv, Dana?

Speaker 36 Did you ever do that?

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah, I did that when I was living in New York in 1981, doing a sitcom with Nathan Lane and Mickey Rooney.

Speaker 46 Wow, I worked the yeah, one of the boys.

Speaker 34 Check it out.

Speaker 45 Um,

Speaker 16 and it was Scat Man Carruthers as well.

Speaker 16 But you, you, um, like Jack Geributo told me once that he was your you know your partner for a long time and he knew you back then you would just do a bit you'd go to a club wouldn't quite work yeah and then you keep going and going then you'd come back like a week later and you had it killing so you were very tenacious about right yes I don't know why I was not I was probably the same as as you guys you you just

Speaker 50 I don't know I believed in it I kept doing it, found a way to kind of phrase it right.

Speaker 3 Do it until it works.

Speaker 3 Or do you ever take, I used to to tape mine, then it was very excruciating to listen to your own voice, but you would think you killed, and it was really just one person laughing loud.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Or you think it was nothing, but then you said something you forgot in between the jokes that was good. So you'd sort of like piece it together and then try it again and tape it.

Speaker 9 Sure.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I did the old, I did the same thing you do where you pulled out of a hat, but it was more sickening because I drove off from Arizona and then they'd have at the improv amateur night.

Speaker 3 And so I'd sit there and they'd pull a name and read it, and you'd come up. So we're all waiting.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And every time they pull it, you get nervous and it's not you.

Speaker 28 And I go, oh,

Speaker 50 you almost don't want it to be you sometimes. So you're like, oh, good, they're not going to get to it.

Speaker 3 Right. And then it was tough.

Speaker 17 And then by the end of the night, I'm like,

Speaker 58 I don't even need a count.

Speaker 3 It was, and then I never, it never worked that way. And I think it was rigged.
I think they knew who's going up. They had friends of friends.

Speaker 9 But

Speaker 3 I finally got a few things. But then we wound up running to each other.

Speaker 17 How did you do your first night?

Speaker 1 How'd I do? Yeah.

Speaker 77 First night of stand-up? Yeah. That's a good question.

Speaker 3 When I started stand-up,

Speaker 17 I take the mic off.

Speaker 49 Can I guess anything, Adam?

Speaker 28 No, no, it's actually

Speaker 14 in the Valley and I was seeing comics.

Speaker 3 I was seeing guys like Drake Saylor was great. I saw Adam was great.
Schneider was funny.

Speaker 9 Yeah. And was great.

Speaker 3 I was just wound up seeing guys guys that in a million years, how would we all get on SNL?

Speaker 17 It was so weird that it would happen that way.

Speaker 16 When you came in, it was like a firestorm, but you guys really kind of like had 20 minutes, right?

Speaker 11 You weren't headlining on the road.

Speaker 20 You had a minute, 20.

Speaker 16 And then SNL people saw you in the clubs.

Speaker 12 That's right.

Speaker 6 And they liked your writing.

Speaker 51 You got hired as a writer.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 50 Dennis hooked me up.

Speaker 67 Dennis Miller.

Speaker 33 Dennis Miller.

Speaker 15 Dennis was the one who saw you. That's true.

Speaker 50 Yeah. Dennis Miller saw me a few times at the Santa Monica Improv.
And he waited in the back after. I think you guys knew each other already.

Speaker 17 I knew Dennis.

Speaker 3 He was my favorite comic.

Speaker 50 You probably introduced us, Dennis.

Speaker 67 Maybe, yeah.

Speaker 50 And he watched me and he said he liked some of my jokes. And he was so nice to me.
And we loved him. We idolized him.
And

Speaker 50 he heard they were looking for, Lorne was looking at new people, and he said, You should check out the Sandman.

Speaker 55 Sandingo, yeah.

Speaker 72 He gave you that anoniker.

Speaker 46 Yeah. Because the dentist never, he always has a name for somebody.

Speaker 24 Right, right, right. Christ sinks.

Speaker 23 You know, Sandman hitting it heavy down at the prov in Santa Monica, okay?

Speaker 23 Tearing up the beach communities with his wilt of stilt humor. Sorry.

Speaker 33 I love being dentist.

Speaker 28 I love being in that attitude.

Speaker 33 But

Speaker 45 thank you.

Speaker 28 So

Speaker 16 what was your do you remember your first bit that kind of became

Speaker 13 your rock?

Speaker 2 Like even if

Speaker 2 the set was not going well, you had one that started to work.

Speaker 50 Yes, I had one that

Speaker 50 I said,

Speaker 50 Vicks Vapor Rub. I used to say, remember Vic's Vapor Rub?

Speaker 50 When your mother would rub it on your chest?

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 50 And my mother would be rubbing it on my chest, and then we make eye contact. And I was like, I thought we were just friends, ma.

Speaker 50 That was like my big-that was my big guarantee back then.

Speaker 3 Did you ever see this one when you go, I remember that joke very well. I thought that was a great one.
And he said, when I was, people say, if you could live your life over, would you change anything?

Speaker 7 You go, yeah.

Speaker 3 When I was walking down the, when I fell down the stairs, I might have grabbed the rail next time.

Speaker 68 Oh, yeah, is that sort of?

Speaker 27 Something like that.

Speaker 50 Yeah, yeah, that was it. Jeez, I forgot that.

Speaker 3 I mean, there's obviously Wilt Chamberlain, but you had so many good jokes, and they were so.

Speaker 3 different and odd and then uh and then dennis got you on yeah dennis but it's good to be different it's very hard to be different. And so when you see that.

Speaker 50 When I did it, when I auditioned that night, it was with Rock,

Speaker 50 Dana Gould, and three other good comedians.

Speaker 77 Where were you? I was in Chicago.

Speaker 3 Flew to Chicago. That's right.

Speaker 24 Rock was Chicago.

Speaker 11 Rock did great.

Speaker 50 I did fine. Dana Gould destroyed.

Speaker 68 God damn, that's a lot when he was.

Speaker 50 He was incredible.

Speaker 56 So

Speaker 50 he should have got it. He's great.
I don't know why. He wrote for the Sims.
He did a lot of great stuff. But somehow I got hired as a writer like David did.

Speaker 50 And then David and Schneider, me, and who else was a writer? Anybody else? Just us three?

Speaker 3 Me and oh, yeah, because Farley and Rock got hired that year, and they were just straight

Speaker 50 feature customers.

Speaker 3 Everybody wrote for themselves, like Dana wrote, but Nana was never credited as a writer.

Speaker 16 If you got on as a main player, you never got a writer's credit for some reason.

Speaker 12 But whatever, it's just part of the deal.

Speaker 3 That was good, sneaky money, though. I didn't want to be a writer, but you know, we didn't make much money, but you'd get kicked a rerun

Speaker 3 in perpetuity. And that was nice, even though it was two cents, but it was nice to,

Speaker 3 you get a stack of checks, and it's the host. So it's like 18 cents, Alec Faldron, 18 cents, Tom Hank.

Speaker 5 So that was kind of fun to rack that up, the bricks.

Speaker 43 You've invested wisely.

Speaker 5 Yeah, invested wisely.

Speaker 76 And then,

Speaker 3 but we didn't make a ton. I'm sure when you started,

Speaker 50 we didn't make shit.

Speaker 77 I don't think we even, we couldn't believe we were getting paid, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 64 It was just a big deal to get money on.

Speaker 23 Just maybe, yeah, like you net, like maybe 20 grand for the whole season or something.

Speaker 17 Yeah, and just lived in a hubble.

Speaker 33 Yeah, it was really,

Speaker 16 but you know, there I was with Phil, late great Phil, Jen, Jen Hooks, God bless them,

Speaker 25 and Mike Myers and Lovetts, and the show was really cooking.

Speaker 6 And then you guys came off like the mothership and closest encounters, you know, here comes Rock and Sandler.

Speaker 2 And I remember the first time I saw you in the office, you were just kind of sitting at the big table on 17th floor, Sarah Glas, and I was doing pretty well on the show, you know.

Speaker 36 But I liked you immediately.

Speaker 45 You just had this vibe about you that was really, really funny

Speaker 23 and likable, you know.

Speaker 6 And that's a big part of the world.

Speaker 50 You sensed

Speaker 50 the love we all had. Dana was the king.

Speaker 14 Dana, I'll tell you, remember, it was almost like at a stand-up club.

Speaker 50 If Dana had a skit and your skit was going on after, you were just like, oh, no. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, no. Because

Speaker 24 it was so hard.

Speaker 3 You got to follow church lady or something.

Speaker 28 Are you talking about read-through?

Speaker 18 Read-through is bad.

Speaker 50 But on the air, on the air was the biggest explosion in the place. And then your skit would do fine, but in your weird comedy brain, you're just like, how the fuck do I get those Dana laughs?

Speaker 24 Yeah, well, I had a lot of help.

Speaker 23 You know, make a talk show and then have Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks come off.

Speaker 11 Wow.

Speaker 17 You know, crazy sinks.

Speaker 28 But so

Speaker 6 you come on, you get on the show, you're like...

Speaker 3 What's your first big,

Speaker 3 what was your first, you probably did update first, right? Or did you write Racky Pete or something?

Speaker 50 No, that was Al Franken wrote that. Yeah.
Aren't you supposed to do the noise now? You do that?

Speaker 50 But

Speaker 13 I'd like to ask you a question.

Speaker 89 Yeah.

Speaker 42 So, like, in classic comedy.

Speaker 13 Sorry, David, you weren't finished.

Speaker 14 Sorry.

Speaker 66 You're going to like this one.

Speaker 6 Because, you know, you didn't really lean on it much, but in the beginning, I remember in the classic common sense of the idiot.

Speaker 15 So, like, there's Jerry Lewis is like the king.

Speaker 46 And then I remember you would do the hunched over guy,

Speaker 6 and he would do that sound.

Speaker 63 Where did that guy come from?

Speaker 43 Because that instantly made me laugh so hard because you were so committed.

Speaker 6 Wasn't it?

Speaker 74 I don't even know, man.

Speaker 29 It's very musical.

Speaker 28 Can you do more? It always felt good in a microphone.

Speaker 11 I don't even

Speaker 50 know if that ever got on the air, if I ever did that.

Speaker 75 I just remember seeing that and really loving it.

Speaker 6 But there's one character I want to break down, unless David has a question.

Speaker 22 Sure.

Speaker 79 Go ahead.

Speaker 46 We're really close friends.

Speaker 1 The operaman, the evolution of opera man.

Speaker 28 Operaman.

Speaker 20 That

Speaker 6 then became the indestructible killer bit of all time.

Speaker 38 By the time you got it on the update desk with the pictures and you were mixing

Speaker 28 a good wig.

Speaker 79 Adam, I'll let you fit.

Speaker 88 But talk about the origins of that and the way you did it and then the way you ended up doing it.

Speaker 13 It evolved.

Speaker 50 Gotcha. Yes.

Speaker 14 Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 15 Yes. That's my question.

Speaker 50 Thank you. Yeah, that's a good question.
And I remember

Speaker 50 you knew the guy. So there was a man on the street who used to sing opera on the street.

Speaker 50 He used to hold the can up and you'd be walking down the street and he'd kind of come at you and go, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Speaker 62 And he'd sing really hot, and he'd charge at you,

Speaker 5 and you'd be like, Oh, and you give him money.

Speaker 49 You didn't know that?

Speaker 14 That's kind of where I first started doing that or something.

Speaker 17 I love that.

Speaker 3 I didn't know that. I met that guy today at McDonald's.

Speaker 3 He wasn't singing, though. He's in between sets.

Speaker 13 What would a guy like that be ordering like a McDonald's?

Speaker 59 That wouldn't be ordered yet.

Speaker 28 Hey,

Speaker 69 barbecue jobs.

Speaker 3 The thing that you can sound exactly opera is one more gift on SNL, if you can,

Speaker 3 if they'd write a singing sketch, obviously Adam wrote a lot of his own, but if they'd write somewhere you sing, you can get in. If you can play an instrument, you can get in.

Speaker 3 There's so many things if you can do dance.

Speaker 3 So if you do, I didn't do a lot of those things, which was kind of a drag, but Adam can sing so well and actually write songs and actually write songs that are catchy because a lot of those things you did not update were actually really catchy.

Speaker 3 on top of just being funny. And so that combo is big.
And that operaman was a fucking cruncher. That always

Speaker 50 didn't you do it off in on the stage next update initially yeah no i first time i did it it was just gibberish it was like it was a theater thing and i think maybe you or was it Phil that's what I remember.

Speaker 58 I don't know if you remember this.

Speaker 13 Maybe you, maybe you.

Speaker 41 But I was in my office.

Speaker 58 Yes, that's it.

Speaker 44 Adam used to go around the office

Speaker 59 on all fours.

Speaker 41 So then I hear a little knock, and I'm in my office.

Speaker 84 So I open it up and you're on all fours.

Speaker 55 You're like, oh. And then

Speaker 37 you were asking me to do something, introduce Operaman.

Speaker 56 So I didn't remember that.

Speaker 50 You were like a theater guy who would say, tonight, the operaman. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Something like

Speaker 50 goes from the emotion of, you know, like trying to catch the bus. But unfortunately, he misses the bus.

Speaker 17 But then he sees his mother, you know, is behind the bus and picks him up.

Speaker 50 Let's watch opera market.

Speaker 58 Something like that.

Speaker 27 And I'd walk, I'd be like,

Speaker 36 And then I'd see my mother, I'd be like, oh, yes,

Speaker 28 something like that. And that was it.

Speaker 5 And it did good.

Speaker 86 It did good at the time.

Speaker 20 It did good.

Speaker 3 You know, Sandler, it's good if you, a trick on SNL is if Adam was probably slightly newer then, but if you anchor it with Dana, who they love.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 3 And then he brings you on, then they go, Dana seems to like it.

Speaker 5 And they and then they start

Speaker 78 the new guy.

Speaker 28 Help me help when you're new at help.

Speaker 50 No, it was a Dana's the best at it, so that's what it was. But any, anyways, it did fine.

Speaker 50 It was up. At the table, it did well.
Everybody, remember, after a while, they started liking us at the table. When David and I first were on us

Speaker 50 and at the table, and we try to get on and we do full skits for ourselves, everybody else was kind of like, calm down.

Speaker 3 That's enough, guys. Yeah, that's enough.
Not yet.

Speaker 11 Not yet.

Speaker 5 Not yet. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 83 But then by

Speaker 50 this time, they were like, all right, give them a shot. And then we did that, and it didn't do great, so Lauren didn't put it on.
But then the Turners out of nowhere, Bonnie and Terry Turner.

Speaker 12 Great writers. Great.

Speaker 23 They wrote for the show for eight, nine years.

Speaker 14 Wayne's World.

Speaker 33 Wayne's World.

Speaker 50 Yeah,

Speaker 3 they wrote the first Tommy Boy draft, too.

Speaker 78 What's that?

Speaker 3 They wrote the first draft of Tommy Boy.

Speaker 52 That's right.

Speaker 77 Tommy Boy, that's right.

Speaker 3 They were monsters. I don't even know why we don't hear about, talk about them more.
They had some huge sketches.

Speaker 50 You guys should have them on this show. They'll be.

Speaker 28 Yeah, we would love to.

Speaker 43 Hi, Bonnie. Hi, Terry.

Speaker 13 Kissing guys, guys.

Speaker 12 I'm just listening to this when it's released.

Speaker 9 But they wrote what?

Speaker 50 What were you saying? And Lindsay and Lindsay, their daughter.

Speaker 23 Their daughter, Lindsay. Yes.

Speaker 50 But anyways, they wrote.

Speaker 1 this thing and they talked to me.

Speaker 50 I was in my office. They're like, so remember that Opera Man thing you did? We came up with an idea for the news and they showed it to me and I'm so

Speaker 50 dumb and young and whatever I was. And I was like, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 13 I guess we could try it that way.

Speaker 3 It was Operaman on the news that you said?

Speaker 50 Operaman on the news.

Speaker 50 Showing current

Speaker 4 singing about the singing and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 50 And I didn't really, I was like, no, Operaman speaks gibberish. And that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 17 You don't understand Operaman.

Speaker 46 So then it became a divorso.

Speaker 40 How many, you know, you want to current events with like Trumpo and all that?

Speaker 68 Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Just crushed.

Speaker 28 That was all.

Speaker 33 Those guys wrote it.

Speaker 50 I got to be, they would give me the melodies, and Cheryl would write Cheryl on it.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 50 And they would just give me all the goods. And I mean, it was the greatest gift ever.

Speaker 14 Yeah,

Speaker 14 I got to wear the did you do it with Eddie Vetter or not?

Speaker 3 So you sing like Eddie Vetter once you were here?

Speaker 29 I sang like Eddie.

Speaker 11 Was it as an operaman or was it something like that?

Speaker 50 Operaman singing about Pearl Jam, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 28 And then, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 50 And remember when I think they were even on the show, Pearl Jam, that night.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 19 And what would he say? A better?

Speaker 33 Ever.

Speaker 58 I mean, you just got the pipes, kid. You know, you were going, yeah, I'm sound

Speaker 11 of concrete.

Speaker 9 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 But you sound exactly like him.

Speaker 50 I can't do it now. I know any better.

Speaker 20 It's a certain

Speaker 20 thing.

Speaker 67 He's got a thicker, lower voice than he's got.

Speaker 24 No, his voice is unreal.

Speaker 52 Yeah, he's a juicy voice.

Speaker 3 We share an office, me and Farley, and then you walk through our office to get to Adam and Chris Rock.

Speaker 68 So when the door was closed, I'd hear, oh, ho, ho, ho,

Speaker 68 ho, ho, I'm like, oh my god, he's got a killer cooking in the oven.

Speaker 58 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in the oven.

Speaker 50 We all got excited when we landed on a good impression, but I did one with Lovitz, an opera man with Lovetts.

Speaker 33 Yeah, that was great.

Speaker 58 Oh, that was a great one.

Speaker 29 He can sing great.

Speaker 20 And that was a perfect.

Speaker 15 Only other guy who could do it besides you, because he's got pipes and he's just a funny.

Speaker 12 So that was a killer.

Speaker 50 That was amazing.

Speaker 12 He played your brother or something.

Speaker 50 It was Glenn Close

Speaker 50 and Lovis, and maybe they were my parents. I don't remember.

Speaker 13 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 I remember that

Speaker 5 kids.

Speaker 51 Only on Saturday Live.

Speaker 13 Can we?

Speaker 12 I could go anywhere. It's so much fun.

Speaker 3 I want to ask about when he does bits, when you get to bring in one of the musical stars. I think McCartney did Red Hood and Sweatshirt with you.

Speaker 50 Oh, that was great.

Speaker 58 God damn farm. He did something with him.

Speaker 2 You did something with him.

Speaker 4 I left just right before McCartney hosted.

Speaker 52 You weren't there then?

Speaker 6 I missed it.

Speaker 16 I was a fool. You You know, he was upset, you know, because we'd met at 86 at Lauren's house.
He called me up.

Speaker 6 I don't know why you didn't stick around.

Speaker 17 And, you know,

Speaker 81 we could have had a plunker.

Speaker 4 We'd be plunking, looking at each other.

Speaker 28 I go, who is this? Nobody.

Speaker 10 No, he's crazy.

Speaker 68 I missed that.

Speaker 6 But you got to do a thing.

Speaker 33 What did you do with Paul McCartney?

Speaker 50 It was red out of sweatshirt. I wrote it.

Speaker 50 with Ian Maxtone Graham and I forget who else, somebody else. And

Speaker 50 we had dip, you know, I had dip, dip, dip, and dip, dip, dip, shama lama dinga and stuff like that. I say it.

Speaker 50 And then as it progressed, Kevin, maybe Kevin Nealon did it with me. And then I said, let's call out Paul and Linda.
And Paul and Linda McCartney,

Speaker 50 we wrote it for him. And then Lauren said, I said, will they do it? He goes, well, you have to talk to them.

Speaker 50 So I went to Lauren's office.

Speaker 81 They were eating.

Speaker 3 They were on the show or they were just visiting.

Speaker 50 Paul was the guest. Okay.
And Linda was with them.

Speaker 6 You walk in and you have to convince them.

Speaker 50 I just had to come in with the dopey guitar and be like, hi, my heart's pounded through my chest.

Speaker 9 Did you crawl in or did you walk?

Speaker 59 A little skip or something.

Speaker 12 That was when you were going to pitch it. Remember, you'd skip across?

Speaker 2 No, I'm making that up. Sorry.
Go ahead.

Speaker 20 So you walk in there. I mean.

Speaker 50 Lauren's eating Shun Lee.

Speaker 28 Shunley.

Speaker 62 And Paul and Linda.

Speaker 50 And Linda's amazingly nice, and Paul's amazingly nice. And I sing them the little thing, and

Speaker 50 they laughed. And then I left, and then I was like, I don't know if that worked or not, but then they said yes, and

Speaker 50 forever, I got that. I sang with them, hung out with them after the show, hung out.
Stella was there. Remember, Stella was a kid?

Speaker 33 She came to the show.

Speaker 12 Stella McCartney, the fashion designer.

Speaker 50 Yes, and she was such a nice kid.

Speaker 83 She was like our age then, you know, like whatever we were.

Speaker 3 Yeah, let's keep the numbers out of it.

Speaker 16 I saw him discipline his kids on Long Island, went over to his house, and, you know, I think James had a little toy sword, a plastic sword, and he dropped it down on his sister.

Speaker 1 And Paul goes, you do that one more time, we're going to have a problem.

Speaker 58 See him as hysterical.

Speaker 19 Yeah, see him as a dad.

Speaker 11 I remember still of him.

Speaker 3 Some comic said he had a bill. He was the first one with a billion dollars.
And they go, you know, if he lost his wallet in a cab and there was $500 million in it, he'd still have $500 million.

Speaker 3 that was some conversation but do you remember when farley's brothers came to the show when mccartney was on that stupid story where paul paul looked the same as paul mccartney growing up but he had a little bit of gray hair and so far's brothers were standing there with red cups there was no security so the music comes out of their dressing room walks by the age

Speaker 3 page desk you know that and they walk right into the show and they go paul mccartney one minute till you're on live and so you see he comes out with a bodyguard on the front and back and he walks out with his guitar and it's fucking paul mccartney i'm I'm there with Farley's idiot brothers, and they're all drunk.

Speaker 3 And he comes around, and they go, and one of them goes, Hey, Paul.

Speaker 68 And he looks over and he goes, Getting a little gray.

Speaker 73 And he goes,

Speaker 28 And then I remember that. He walks out.

Speaker 63 And I go, Are you an idiot?

Speaker 86 He goes, He looked.

Speaker 3 And then he goes on the monitor, and they're like 15 seconds. And he looks in the monitor and he goes, like, this.

Speaker 90 He got in his head right before he went out.

Speaker 28 Oh, no.

Speaker 62 And you know, he's like, is my.

Speaker 3 and then um anyway so i i will say one of my proudest moments because sometimes adam and i would try to write together or uh we would all try to think of excuses to all be in the same sketch or whatever

Speaker 3 and the the one i like the best is the gap girls when we were um

Speaker 3 in the that was all david in the mall and then farley says lay off me i'm starving and that is one of the funnest ones we ever did

Speaker 3 and schneider was in it and sarah gilbert was a host oh yeah and uh we were all that was just the fun for me because

Speaker 3 we would all just rehearse. So, you know, you write it, if it gets in, you laugh at read-through, you laugh, you know, when we talk about who plays what parts and what we say.

Speaker 66 And then you really wrote all that stuff, though.

Speaker 3 I know, but then everyone adds jokes, whatever you want, and then we got to do it on, so you have to rehearse all week or once or twice.

Speaker 67 That's a good reason to hang out.

Speaker 28 Yeah, that was something.

Speaker 6 Does everyone know about the Gap girls?

Speaker 15 Because there's a young

Speaker 16 younger people here it was just a sketch where we all uh worked at the gap we played girls and it was infuriating and how did you talk

Speaker 52 whatever that's right yeah

Speaker 3 weren't you at the folding meeting yeah and i went to the gap and studied it and they showed how they put a clipboard in the sweaters and pulled them out and folded them up yeah mesmerized and then they would actually this is when you feel kind of like a big deal because if you get a sketch on and you're just some doofus from arizona and it's it's like a dumb sketch about the gap, and then when they bring the sketch is written and it's put up on its feet, they bring in they talked to the gap and brought a whole section of the gap over.

Speaker 3 So if they had a security guard because it would cost so much, it was real pants, real sweaters, and it was just a chunk of the gap. They moved in and the gap liked it because it was free advertising.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Even though we made them all look like morons. But it was still really fun.

Speaker 3 And then we all hung out there and would practice in there and rehearse whatever it's called and uh it was great so we did a couple of those we did gapperty when it was jeopardy it was just a fun way for me you and farley to be in sketches yeah and uh that was that what was our names again uh say it again what was our names

Speaker 3 yeah christy lucy he was cindy and you might have been lucy yeah yeah yeah does anyone know something like that

It's not an interview.

Speaker 16 Do you remember the one that? Because

Speaker 16 a lot of times you don't really get to rock and roll with somebody in a sketch. So you and I

Speaker 16 had a crazy sketch. When I came back to guest host,

Speaker 71 dogs? No.

Speaker 50 You play drums? What?

Speaker 46 Pepperboy.

Speaker 78 Oh,

Speaker 28 let's talk about Pepper Boy. So that.

Speaker 8 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 77 That was incredible.

Speaker 16 That was like you and I were peaking on the show.

Speaker 1 Chris Farley was. Tim Meadows was.

Speaker 74 Farley crossed his legs.

Speaker 46 Let's talk about that for a second.

Speaker 15 That was Steve Corrin started. That's right.

Speaker 15 Wrote it. So

Speaker 38 it's just two,

Speaker 2 I was kind of the, he was my protege, I was the mentor, I was obsessed with how to do the pepper, you know, a huge pepper mill.

Speaker 28 And Adam was kind of the underling and really eager.

Speaker 33 And we,

Speaker 38 I'll just set it up for a second. We did it.

Speaker 46 It did well in read-through.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 16 Pretty well in rehearsal, dress show, pretty good. Yeah, yeah.
Then Steve Corn comes to me and tells me something you want to do

Speaker 77 between shows.

Speaker 88 So at one point, we had the, I was going to,

Speaker 6 you were going crazy. You were so nervous.
Remember, I slapped you.

Speaker 19 It was in comedy, it's always threes.

Speaker 84 And then I hit butt you, right?

Speaker 50 Yeah, with the sound effects.

Speaker 46 So between dress and air, Steve Corn, the writer, comes in and says, Adam's going to put the pepper shager between his legs.

Speaker 74 So you're going to do this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 56 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 31 And then we timed it great, but we really peeped on air.

Speaker 77 Yeah, that was amazing.

Speaker 50 That doesn't happen every time.

Speaker 4 We committed so hard.

Speaker 38 I mean, because Tim Meadows was sitting there and I was was doing the pepper.

Speaker 13 You like a pepper, huh?

Speaker 38 I mean, it became way, I don't know if it was sexual or something, but we were just on another level.

Speaker 11 Every,

Speaker 50 I'd say once

Speaker 50 two weeks, if I'm in a restaurant, a guy with the pepper thing will be like, fresh a pepper?

Speaker 28 And I'd be like, all right.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 44 And do you remember what happened?

Speaker 6 Like, Farley was always the best at breaking people because he could be explosively funny.

Speaker 16 Do you remember his line and what he did on the show?

Speaker 3 I know what it is.

Speaker 3 We flew in from Tommy Boy

Speaker 3 for just the show, and then we had to fly back.

Speaker 13 Oh.

Speaker 17 And he goes, I have a line in Pepperboy.

Speaker 3 And didn't he have a big beard?

Speaker 29 Yeah, he looked ridiculous. He really hammed it up.

Speaker 5 He said,

Speaker 5 why thank you for Pepper Boy, right?

Speaker 66 He says, I'm going to make you laugh.

Speaker 50 He goes, Etsy, I'm going to make you laugh out there.

Speaker 51 I think he over at the end. He taunted

Speaker 75 me before it started.

Speaker 77 He goes, Etsy, I'm going to make you laugh out there.

Speaker 24 And I go, all right, all right.

Speaker 79 And then I think he leans back and goes, what?

Speaker 28 Thank you, pepper boy.

Speaker 52 I've never seen a human being transformed like that.

Speaker 58 I think he's got like 12 chins and perfect amount of pepper.

Speaker 3 But huge beard for no reason.

Speaker 28 But any scooted for the air shows.

Speaker 40 He did. Yes.

Speaker 18 He lost his eyes, too.

Speaker 38 Adam starts to turn purple.

Speaker 75 That's the stage. I'm over here.

Speaker 16 Adam's turning toward me and trying not to go.

Speaker 38 The sketch had gone so well that I stayed in character, but I was

Speaker 90 don't break.

Speaker 4 Do you remember that?

Speaker 4 Of course.

Speaker 86 That's funny, man.

Speaker 52 You were the pro.

Speaker 33 You were the pro.

Speaker 50 The funny thing is, as Farley wasn't even supposed to say it that loud, it made no sense.

Speaker 63 He was supposed to go, why, thank you, Pepper.

Speaker 52 But he was like, what?

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 50 He lost his marbles.

Speaker 67 Yeah, he lost his mind.

Speaker 6 But that was an electric sketch for a restaurant sketch.

Speaker 50 And then Il Cantonori, when we did that.

Speaker 58 Well, you guys wrote Il Cantori, that also was was major.

Speaker 77 It was explosive.

Speaker 50 But you, you, you would take the reins, murder, murder, murder.

Speaker 76 Yeah. Then we'd have a little

Speaker 50 thing to do when we were like, let's jump on the Dana fucking thunder story.

Speaker 53 Well, I don't know why you guys killed too.

Speaker 54 You and Schneider came in.

Speaker 56 We were good, but you got them all ready.

Speaker 3 That was an Italian restaurant where all the waiters are two sexual with Christie Alley and

Speaker 3 all the women that come in.

Speaker 35 They're like, oh, Bellissima, Bellissima.

Speaker 58 Bellissima.

Speaker 38 I start licking Christie Alley's face.

Speaker 43 I'm supposed to lick her face really hard. I remember in rehearsal, I go, is this okay?

Speaker 22 And she goes, oh, yeah, go for it. Whatever you want to do.

Speaker 35 Belizima, I like it.

Speaker 28 Oh, you like it?

Speaker 43 But you guys were just, you know, crushing.

Speaker 43 You and Schneider came in.

Speaker 45 Schneider had no clothes on or something like that.

Speaker 50 I had no clothes on.

Speaker 50 I was the guy.

Speaker 93 Back then,

Speaker 50 I could take my fucking shirt off and feel okay.

Speaker 46 Now there's a reason the sweatshirt's on at all times.

Speaker 58 He has another shirt in case that somehow falls off.

Speaker 51 You know, it was another crusher.

Speaker 3 It was Lunch Ladyland and a great song. I called Tandler about a year ago.

Speaker 16 I go,

Speaker 58 it's on my iPod and it came in.

Speaker 17 And this is a good song when he goes, Sloppy Joe, slap, sloppy Joe.

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I go, the way you write it and it's actually funny, and then you do a sketch, and it's funny, and then you hear it again, you go, that's actually a good song.

Speaker 3 It's always catchy songs.

Speaker 50 I sang that. I sang that on my album before I I sang it on Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah? Oh,

Speaker 50 I did it first on the album, and Farley was at the taping of my album. And so when I'm singing on the album, Slavedo, I think I'm in Santa Barbara.
I don't remember where I was. Just a cool club.

Speaker 50 I'm sorry, I forgot the name of it, but it was a club. We were recording.
Farley was in the crowd going nuts. And then

Speaker 50 his crazy voice is so, when I'm going, Slavedo, Slava, Slavedo, you hear Farley going, Lavedo!

Speaker 5 Like, you know,

Speaker 29 and he never even heard the song before.

Speaker 42 He just kind of said, All right, he's going to sing.

Speaker 9 Did it. Yeah, that was a crush.

Speaker 16 Was that on They're Gonna Laugh at You, which was

Speaker 41 two times platinum.

Speaker 28 That was a biggie.

Speaker 6 You're the last guy to really sell comedy albums, I think.

Speaker 33 I mean, my

Speaker 50 after, but with that back in the day, that was you were on it. Yeah.
Everybody was on it.

Speaker 5 Hey, buddy, hey, buddy.

Speaker 50 The buddies.

Speaker 62 We did buddy, dude, buddy, dude.

Speaker 52 Homie?

Speaker 5 Yeah, that was a great one.

Speaker 43 What the hell happened to you was another one.

Speaker 50 Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 67 Thank you.

Speaker 16 That was where your real acidy humor came out on those albums.

Speaker 50 That was where I got to curse a lot for the first time, and David cursed with me. And we all, we were so excited.
It was like being on Saturday night.

Speaker 16 I just thought it was like jazz.

Speaker 16 I mean, the one about the announcer with the champion.

Speaker 42 You say the word champion.

Speaker 43 It's a golf announcer.

Speaker 33 You do it. You say the word champion like 500 times going.

Speaker 50 It's about a

Speaker 50 golfer who has like a nine-stroke lead, and he's on the last hole, and he keeps missing putts.

Speaker 66 And you're the announcer.

Speaker 50 You're the announcer going, the champion is

Speaker 29 feeling it today, and he's about to set the course record.

Speaker 79 And the champion, and then he putts it, and you hear the crowd go, oh, and you know, well, the champion laughs that off.

Speaker 50 Eight-stroke lead now,

Speaker 10 you know, all that kind of shit.

Speaker 51 And then it gets more and more

Speaker 18 closer to being like joking.

Speaker 50 And he's like, well, he's up three strokes. Hopefully, he can put this one in.
And then it's Blake Clark that's doing the voice of the chat. Oh, Blake.

Speaker 50 And he's going, God fucking damn it.

Speaker 17 Anyways.

Speaker 3 Those albums were good because they lay into the crowd of college kids in the summer. And then you come back and you're even bigger on SNL because they're like playing them over.

Speaker 11 And the albums were the biggest

Speaker 5 steel

Speaker 50 besides Saturday Night Live because, like you said, I would go out on tour.

Speaker 50 The kids who were coming to see me knew the album, so they knew some of the songs, they knew some of the characters, and that definitely relaxed me on stage.

Speaker 50 All of us,

Speaker 50 we used to have fun.

Speaker 16 Well, let's just say, because you've given me a lot of props, that by the time you're after about two years in on SNL, you really were just like top-notch.

Speaker 6 I mean, you were crushing consistently on that show.

Speaker 16 And the audience was falling in love with you because,

Speaker 41 you know, when you'd sing Hanukkah's song, when you would do your guitar or Thanksgiving song,

Speaker 15 first of all, you actually, you're a really good acoustic player.

Speaker 40 Not bad.

Speaker 88 And you can hold a great melody, and then it's so silly and funny.

Speaker 6 And also watching you enjoy it, not breaking, but just the light in your eyes.

Speaker 79 It's so infectious.

Speaker 50 It was exciting. Yeah, yeah, man.
I remember that. I remember singing that at the table, the turkey song, the Thanksgiving song for like

Speaker 50 Smigel and a couple of other writers at the table going, you know, singing it to them. And if they laughed, I was like, oh, fuck.
Okay, they think it's funny.

Speaker 3 You're funny something. Yeah.

Speaker 46 It was a big deal.

Speaker 50 If those guys, the great writers on the show, when they would smile at what your idea was, like Jim Downey, if he said something was good, you would just like, even if it didn't get on, you were like, all right, I'm funny now.

Speaker 19 Yeah, we had the A-team there.

Speaker 6 Smigel, genius, Downey, brilliant.

Speaker 23 You know, we had some incredible writers

Speaker 87 have helped us.

Speaker 4 When was your first movie?

Speaker 3 That was when we did the summer we did Tommy Boy, you did Billy Madison, right?

Speaker 87 Yes.

Speaker 87 Yes.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 3 the next summer, Happy Gilmore?

Speaker 73 Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 63 And those movies kept making it more than the other ones.

Speaker 3 They give you another one. And then it was

Speaker 68 The Wedding Singer.

Speaker 28 The Wedding Singer. Yeah.

Speaker 33 And then Water Boy.

Speaker 28 I think that was where it was the mic drop.

Speaker 6 At that point, you were a movie story.

Speaker 58 It was too big.

Speaker 46 When you do Happy, you did, of course, Billy Madison, but you do Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Waterboy within like 24 months or something.

Speaker 79 Then Big Daddy.

Speaker 17 Then Big Daddy. Another mega monster.

Speaker 16 Yeah, too many. I can't even see it.

Speaker 3 You know, when Waterboy came out, I was hosting and you were there that weekend, and we were going to do a bit in the monologue, and then you had to fly back.

Speaker 3 Waterboy was such a fucking, they told us, or they told you how much it made.

Speaker 48 And everyone's like, what the fuck?

Speaker 77 And then

Speaker 3 you had to get back, and I changed my monologue, and I just did stand-up. I wasn't doing stand-up in the monologue.

Speaker 33 You're kidding me. I was supposed to go out with you.

Speaker 3 Well, we were going to do audience member, you know, and you go, oh, yes, get out.

Speaker 3 And you're going to ruin my monologue with questions. And then they go, Lauren goes, well, you know, you said you had to go.

Speaker 17 And I go, all right, well, what do I do?

Speaker 52 And he goes, stand up. Oh, really?

Speaker 90 Aren't you a stand-up?

Speaker 3 I go, well, I fucking never do it anymore.

Speaker 29 I go, tonight?

Speaker 61 So he goes, just throw some things together.

Speaker 3 I go, so you can't go practice or run to catch rising star.

Speaker 60 So I put some together, but it's so fucking terrifying to do a monologue anyway.

Speaker 17 And then

Speaker 12 cordless microphone's hard. And everyone's like,

Speaker 50 that is the worst when you're doing stand-up and you're about to go out and you look for the mic and then the guy makes the decision for you, like,

Speaker 50 don't use a hand mic, use this. And then you go, and you don't have a fucking mic in hand.
You're like, holy shit, what do I do with both my hands?

Speaker 5 I go like this, hey,

Speaker 36 you know, we're not used to it.

Speaker 3 Or a mic stand. I lean on a mic stand sometimes.
It's not there.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Yeah, yeah, looking for a mic stand to lean on.

Speaker 14 It's just like drowning.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 75 Yeah, when you first start in stand-up, you just hold the mic like this.

Speaker 50 Oh, God, you're choking up.

Speaker 36 Did you go with Billy?

Speaker 16 Like, we,

Speaker 24 I'm sorry.

Speaker 50 I remember shooting Billy

Speaker 50 Madison, and you guys are shooting Tommy Boy and hanging out with Hamilton up in Toronto.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we were in the same place because we came over there, and that was the night when you, remember when you did that thing called, there was like a crime scene

Speaker 3 joke with everybody where they go in a room and you go walk in, and it's a crime scene.

Speaker 5 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 28 Anyway.

Speaker 3 oh yeah but Adam's movie was called Billy Madison our movie was called Billy the third yeah it was Billy the third and so we changed it and we just didn't have an we didn't know what to call it of all things we both have the same lead as the same name so we eventually changed ours because the name of the movie was Billy the third but fucking hanging out in Toronto with you and Farley

Speaker 50 we had a couple weeks together

Speaker 14 on

Speaker 14 it

Speaker 3 yeah and then uh oh yeah so then you do all those movies that seemed to work out you did some movies

Speaker 43 By the way, my wife and I watched

Speaker 29 Hustle last night.

Speaker 2 What did you say?

Speaker 28 Hustle.

Speaker 28 Hustle did.

Speaker 4 Yeah. I think it's a great movie.

Speaker 3 Hustle is a movie he's got coming out.

Speaker 71 I got a new movie, yes.

Speaker 43 It's on Netflix, and it's about, it's kind of like Hoosers meets Rocky, meets Moneyball.

Speaker 14 Yes, yes. And you're great in it.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 20 I mean, really great.

Speaker 50 Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 15 It's just a,

Speaker 19 it's just a really, you know where it really works as a movie.

Speaker 74 I can't.

Speaker 15 And I got Tyried.

Speaker 32 You got me that's so great dana do you feel like because you know you had uncut gems that was pretty good right yes thank you dana so then i then i saw that and then i see this one it seems like you're either you're i don't know you're and and

Speaker 16 The murder mystery movie, I mean, you're on a roll.

Speaker 58 I mean, are you feeling like you're more comfortable

Speaker 18 now?

Speaker 16 Are you changing up stuff? Because you seem to be at this other level? Or is it just from doing it so much?

Speaker 50 I think I'm getting older, more opportunities, guys like the Safdie Brothers.

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 36 The Safdie Brothers, who your brother,

Speaker 50 he kind of worked with them as

Speaker 3 we were great friends with Andy, and I met them, God, 12 years ago. They were talking about Uncut Chems then.

Speaker 61 I was sort of the muse

Speaker 68 for Justin.

Speaker 28 Because I met him 12 years ago.

Speaker 3 Uncut Jums.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 61 Yeah. But those guys are super cool.

Speaker 13 Very good.

Speaker 73 Yeah, they did. I think they did a Kate Spade commercial that Andy.

Speaker 13 Is that how you guys met?

Speaker 24 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And I think Andy wrote an idea and they did it. And then it somehow went to the Cannes Film Festival.
And then they did a movie called I Think Daddy Longlegs after that.

Speaker 71 Yeah, incredible.

Speaker 3 And then they just kept getting, they were just better and better and better.

Speaker 87 And

Speaker 3 did yours. And, you know, maybe one day you'll do another one with them.

Speaker 50 Fucking great.

Speaker 50 They're writing another one right now, but I lucked out. I'm getting to do all this great stuff.
Noah Bombeck,

Speaker 50 PTA,

Speaker 74 they all hooked me up.

Speaker 50 They all wrote great stuff. They asked me to be in it.

Speaker 50 Jim Brooks, all Tom.

Speaker 17 I loved him.

Speaker 3 Is it ever scary? Because these guys do great movies or great TV show. And PTA, obviously, one of the best.

Speaker 12 Thomas Sanders.

Speaker 3 One of the best ever. Yes.

Speaker 24 And then,

Speaker 3 but you know, PTA a little bit, but if you get lucky enough, you know, you're paired up with some great director. and usually on sets, like growing ups, those kind of movies, you have more of a say.

Speaker 3 But if you have to kind of keep quiet, somewhat, not totally, but and trust them. And you ever get a feeling where you're like, I don't even know if this guy knows what the fuck's going on.

Speaker 60 I mean, that must be scary.

Speaker 61 These guys, because they're so good, but you go, it's gonna work.

Speaker 3 They know what they're doing. That must be hard.

Speaker 50 You just go, you just give yourself to them because you know they're great. And

Speaker 50 you read the script and you just don't want to let them down and you jump in

Speaker 77 their world. And it is neat.

Speaker 50 It's neat. Not,

Speaker 50 I always feel more comfortable doing comedy. I'm always

Speaker 50 more at ease going, all right, we're gonna go make a movie and have a great time and try to come up with the best jokes and make everybody laugh.

Speaker 50 I love that, I'll love that the rest of my life, just like you guys.

Speaker 50 We're addicted to that. But the other stuff I'm getting to do,

Speaker 28 and

Speaker 28 it's awesome.

Speaker 50 I know you both would crush at that, also.

Speaker 1 It's just, it's just, it's,

Speaker 50 it's just different, it's fun.

Speaker 24 Yeah, uh,

Speaker 50 It's a different day in the trailer. You don't go, what the fuck? You know, then you come up with a joke.
You're kind of sitting there going, oh, I got to get in this mood right now.

Speaker 3 Well, the jokes are kind of crutchy because you know how to do it.

Speaker 3 And you know, if you have a scene that's not working, you go, I think we can figure a way out of this if we think of a joke or a way out, which is what you do a lot on comedy.

Speaker 3 But in these, you're like, this is just connecting. It's part of connecting the dots of the bigger picture.
So not a lot has to happen right here. And it's hard to trust that.
That's true.

Speaker 3 Just do what it is. They'll figure.
I mean, sometimes they add music or something, and you go, oh, I see what they did. It's perfect.
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 17 You don't know when you're doing it.

Speaker 50 And then when you're doing it and it's not right, those guys tell you, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 28 And you go, oh,

Speaker 50 he feels stupid for a second. You go, oh, I was giving you a little extra.

Speaker 28 And they were like,

Speaker 28 calm down.

Speaker 29 Got to juice it up a bit there.

Speaker 33 You're making it real good for the people.

Speaker 11 And they go, no, no, no.

Speaker 50 Believe me, they want to see.

Speaker 46 Those are the brothers, right?

Speaker 14 The safety brothers, the brothers, and

Speaker 50 Ronnie.

Speaker 3 Dana, what else do you have for Adam? We got to take a few questions.

Speaker 51 I don't know.

Speaker 16 I do think it's kind of cool that you did. There's so many movies, obviously.
We talked to Drew Barrymore about 51st

Speaker 92 days.

Speaker 28 That was really sweet.

Speaker 32 Drew was great.

Speaker 50 Drew gave you answers that were incredible every time. Doesn't Drew automatically take even a half a question and she fucking goes.

Speaker 6 And she poetically does a seven-minute answer.

Speaker 86 Beginning, middle, end of every single day.

Speaker 3 She goes, I'm going to guess your next three questions, and here's the answers.

Speaker 3 When I went to SNL, we were like, okay.

Speaker 29 Made it easy for me. That was amazing.

Speaker 50 I see her talking about being a little kid on SNL.

Speaker 79 Oh, I know.

Speaker 16 Yeah. At age seven.

Speaker 5 By the way, I've listened to, I think,

Speaker 50 every episode of your show.

Speaker 66 You have?

Speaker 50 I fucking love this show. It's the best.

Speaker 87 Yeah. Jesus.

Speaker 50 So I'm so happy for both of you. It's the greatest.

Speaker 45 Well, it's fun to do because, you know, like, we don't get to hang out with our friends that much.

Speaker 53 So this is our chance to,

Speaker 19 you know.

Speaker 6 The other one I wanted to ask you, did Anger Management.

Speaker 2 So you got to work with Jack Nicholson.

Speaker 3 Yes. Unreal.

Speaker 23 And really got to know him.

Speaker 16 And you told the funny story about peanut butter just hanging out at his house.

Speaker 79 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 That's right, man.

Speaker 15 My first day over,

Speaker 66 Nicholson's,

Speaker 50 I got there and

Speaker 50 he keeps the house dim.

Speaker 50 And so I'm sitting in this chair and Jack's sitting in this chair. We're facing each other about five feet away from each other and we're talking and shit.
And

Speaker 50 I'm going, it's dark enough that I'm going in my head. This, I don't think this is Jack Nicholson.

Speaker 51 I think like they brought out a fake one to talk to me and see if I'm okay to talk to the real one.

Speaker 50 So I'm just going like this. And he's like talking quietly.
And it doesn't sound like the impression everybody does, you know,

Speaker 50 or whatever.

Speaker 5 Hey, man, let me tell you something.

Speaker 50 It's not like that. It's kind of like, yeah, man.
It's kind of quiet and cool. And we'll say, man, let me just.
I don't know. He just has a cooler voice, but I was not really believing it was him.

Speaker 17 And then I do like an hour of that.

Speaker 50 And then

Speaker 76 at the end of it, he goes, you hungry?

Speaker 50 Or something like that?

Speaker 8 I said, yeah, yeah, I could eat.

Speaker 50 He goes, You want a sandwich?

Speaker 58 And I said, I said, yeah, that sounds great, man.

Speaker 50 And he's like,

Speaker 52 P, B, and J.

Speaker 2 And I go, that's fucking great.

Speaker 50 Then he gets up and walks away, and then he turns around, he looks at me, and he goes, Skippy or Jiff?

Speaker 6 That sounds like I thought also that you went outside for a minute.

Speaker 35 Oh, yeah, and you were outside.

Speaker 20 He came out and he held up the jars

Speaker 58 and said, Skimpy or Jiff.

Speaker 29 That's right.

Speaker 58 That's such a funny image.

Speaker 43 So I remember your story.

Speaker 13 That was a very thank I ran in him with Lauren, of course, with Lauren.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 we had dinner, and he goes, and he comes, there's an empty seat.

Speaker 3 Is this stupid?

Speaker 79 No, no, no. Okay.
So

Speaker 3 Lauren, and Lauren goes, we're going to have some spaghetti.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 3 I was with Rosie. She's over there.
I was over here.

Speaker 11 Tories.

Speaker 68 There's an empty seat.

Speaker 3 And Lauren sits here. So there's an empty seat.
And Jack sits next to Rosie. And he starts talking.

Speaker 3 Then he goes, One time I went to the MTV ward or something or something is, I ran out and it was so dark I got in the wrong limo and I sat down and everyone just stared at me and it was Nirvana

Speaker 16 and he goes

Speaker 5 and he goes, we're just and we're in the wrong limo and I go, uh-oh.

Speaker 3 And then she goes, did they know who you did they not know who you were? And he goes, well, that's never happened.

Speaker 29 Someone didn't know who he was.

Speaker 33 Can I tell you?

Speaker 71 Quentin Nicholson won. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Related to SNL.

Speaker 16 So Phil Hartman and John Lovitz and I are playing the par three in Studio City.

Speaker 14 So Witzit.

Speaker 33 Yeah, Witsit. So, we're on the green.

Speaker 16 We wave the guy on, and he shoots it out of bounds, and he walks over.

Speaker 59 We realize it's Nicholson, you know.

Speaker 38 So, he walks up, and Phil Hartman had dubbed his voice in the movie The Border because they couldn't get a hold of Nicholson.

Speaker 12 Phil's very respectful, and he goes, Mr.

Speaker 6 Nicholson, I dubbed your voice in the movie The Border.

Speaker 23 One beat, and he goes, No wonder it was my only stinker.

Speaker 19 That's a good one, yeah.

Speaker 14 As a joke, stinker.

Speaker 67 All right, let's take some questions real quick.

Speaker 3 Let's get out of them out of here.

Speaker 50 By the way, just so you know, before Nicholson did anger management,

Speaker 14 he called Lauren to see if it was.

Speaker 50 He had Lauren read the script.

Speaker 77 Oh, really?

Speaker 50 He goes, I've just got to make sure.

Speaker 3 See if it was funny or something.

Speaker 50 Yeah, he goes, I really did. It makes me laugh, but let me just.

Speaker 50 And he goes, he is the man.

Speaker 52 I skimmed it.

Speaker 50 He went through it and gave it the blessing. So I owned Lauren for that, too.

Speaker 44 We owe Lauren a lot.

Speaker 75 And Lauren, you appreciate Lauren more and more every year you're away from the show.

Speaker 6 What he has to deal with, the egos, the politics, keeping the sensibility in a certain frequency.

Speaker 1 Because if you left, it could turn into hee-haw in a second.

Speaker 14 Oh, man.

Speaker 41 He likes smart.

Speaker 33 He likes big laughs.

Speaker 12 So there's a lot of respect for Lauren, my friend.

Speaker 11 Very true.

Speaker 13 All right. How are we going to do a QA?

Speaker 3 How do we do it? Oh, they line up over there? Okay, line up with him. If anybody has a question, we'll do a couple.

Speaker 67 and then we'll get to Greg Holtzman.

Speaker 16 We'll get you guys to the other three shows tonight.

Speaker 64 All right, here we go.

Speaker 5 Hi there.

Speaker 17 Oh, we're starting. Yeah, I can't remember.

Speaker 5 Okay, go ahead, young man. Hey, thank you.

Speaker 50 So I was wondering, you were talking about like childhood things that you remember.

Speaker 42 What was the first extravagant purchase you made when you sort of made it big?

Speaker 50 Nice question.

Speaker 2 That's a good one.

Speaker 63 I got my leather jacket that you remember.

Speaker 3 I got a Police Academy movie and I I bought a $400 leather jacket that was too heavy, but I couldn't give it up. It was like a motorcycle one, and it hurt my neck, but I wanted to wear it.

Speaker 3 And then I think I wore the improv when I first was around Adam.

Speaker 50 The first thing you ever said to me was, Can you unzipper me?

Speaker 3 Can you help me get it off and I have to lay down now? That was it. Mine was a leather jacket.

Speaker 76 Dana, what do you got?

Speaker 13 What'd you get?

Speaker 74 With my own money that I bought.

Speaker 50 I think I bought, I went out, my father had a

Speaker 50 green, dark green and light green 78 Cadillac Fleetwood or some shit when I was in high school. And my first big move, I went out to an old Cadillac place.

Speaker 50 They didn't have that color, but I got that same caddy and had them paint it that color. That was like my big first move.
That's cool. Big rich boy.

Speaker 3 Can I change mine?

Speaker 16 You must have got more than a leather jacket based on your home sales recently.

Speaker 19 Sorry.

Speaker 34 He did well. David invested well.

Speaker 15 Yes.

Speaker 3 What was your...

Speaker 22 What did you get?

Speaker 2 My wife and I did a silly thing.

Speaker 16 We walked in in Ceno.

Speaker 12 We walked into a Mercedes dealership and we bought Mercedes cars, like $100,000 cars.

Speaker 2 I bought a convertible coupe and I drove it for like a week and it had a plastic windshield.

Speaker 16 I'm like, what the fuck?

Speaker 2 So I got, I took it back and got a sedan.

Speaker 6 That was just during my German phase.

Speaker 79 I have a Volvo now.

Speaker 50 It's very non-sexy. What a lizard.

Speaker 3 Go ahead. Next one.

Speaker 95 Yeah, I was going to ask you about the origins of your trademark, you know, Adam Sandler voice, but you kind of already answered that. Yeah.

Speaker 89 But so my next question is: do your daughters do like an Adam Sandler impression?

Speaker 92 Like, they do go like, they're all a lot funny or whatever.

Speaker 50 They don't do that. They don't know that album yet, but

Speaker 50 they do both do the

Speaker 58 yeah i've never seen a movie

Speaker 50 they do that that's it every time i'm trying to be funny and it and it doesn't work

Speaker 83 that's funny yes that thank you thanks man Sorry, I'm shorter.

Speaker 94 Hi.

Speaker 51 Hi, guys. Big fan.

Speaker 66 My name is Shalice.

Speaker 94 I'm from Houston.

Speaker 78 Nice to see you, buddy.

Speaker 94 So my question is, what, out of all the films you guys have, if you guys can go back and do a sequel to any of y'all's previous films, what would it be?

Speaker 28 Ah, shit.

Speaker 20 Wayne's World 3.

Speaker 19 Wayne's Garth.

Speaker 32 Wayne's World 3.

Speaker 38 Garth at 60.

Speaker 24 Wayne!

Speaker 30 I gotta get some Flow Max.

Speaker 59 Flow Max.

Speaker 55 I don't know if it would work.

Speaker 50 Go ahead, Adam.

Speaker 53 We've done so many movies.

Speaker 22 What would be the sequel?

Speaker 50 What would you, what was the, I can't think of the name right now,

Speaker 50 you did with Cage and Love It's.

Speaker 33 Oh, Trapped in Paradise.

Speaker 29 Trapped in Paradise.

Speaker 6 That'd be fun to just work with us Cage.

Speaker 32 That was a a tough shoot.

Speaker 35 We fell down in the snow, and yeah, we just.

Speaker 22 You were doing Brad Gray of that, right?

Speaker 88 I was doing Brad Gray and Mickey Roar.

Speaker 45 I don't know what you're doing, but I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 28 That's what I'm going to do.

Speaker 37 I was doing Mickey Rohr. The studio flew in from L.A.

Speaker 15 We were in the middle of the woods in Canada and said, you got to stop doing that.

Speaker 5 Really?

Speaker 31 But Nicholas Cage said, I would do it anyway.

Speaker 34 He was a great character.

Speaker 68 I guess that's it, right?

Speaker 58 I don't know.

Speaker 33 What would you do a sequel to?

Speaker 45 You have so many movies.

Speaker 50 No idea.

Speaker 50 Too many. I liked them all.
I liked doing grown-ups with Davey because we all hung out.

Speaker 78 We had

Speaker 78 some time.

Speaker 46 Grown-ups could work.

Speaker 43 You have three.

Speaker 13 Well,

Speaker 50 whatever it is, I like to do it.

Speaker 50 It's always great when you're with your friends. Grown-ups, we literally got to do this every day.

Speaker 50 Sit in chairs, hang out, try to be funny, and

Speaker 50 cut around it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that thing's been keeping the lights on at TBS for the last seven years.

Speaker 3 It's on heavy rotation.

Speaker 17 But I love it. I love grown-ups.
That was

Speaker 67 great memories.

Speaker 3 Thank you for that question. Thank you.

Speaker 91 Cheers. You guys are wonderful.
This is amazing.

Speaker 8 Thank you. Hey, man.

Speaker 91 My question: I suppose you guys have written for so many different, like, wonderful projects in both film and TV, and of course, on Saturday Night Live. And my question was:

Speaker 91 do you think that to properly

Speaker 91 master that sort of craft, do you think it's like

Speaker 91 writing as much as you can, like

Speaker 91 every day, is really the proper way to get to a point where you feel comfortable with your writing?

Speaker 91 Or do you think also, I suppose, do you think it's also helpful to try and collaborate with other people that you know you'd work well with?

Speaker 3 Sounds a little like John Mulaney.

Speaker 9 This guy.

Speaker 33 I would say,

Speaker 3 if I would take that,

Speaker 3 my first answer would be: if it's stand-up, just get as much stage time

Speaker 3 as you can. And if it's writing, I think it just more is better.
Collaborating or writing by yourself, just anything you can do until something sticks, I would say.

Speaker 50 Writing, writing, right? I remember I lived with Apatow when I was

Speaker 8 young, Judd, great writer.

Speaker 50 And Apatow, he was the first one of us that would write.

Speaker 67 Yeah, he was.

Speaker 50 He used to sit in his room and write skits all the time for Saturday. He wasn't on Saturday Night Live, but he would write kind of skits.

Speaker 3 And he would collaborate with people and he was smart. He made himself like a producer because that was a valuable thing to help someone do what they're doing, Jim Carrey or you.

Speaker 36 Well, I would say, what is your name?

Speaker 91 My name is Ambrose.

Speaker 24 Okay. All right, Andrew.

Speaker 27 That's all right. It's a cool name.

Speaker 48 That's a great Chardonnay.

Speaker 28 Oh, anyway.

Speaker 6 Ambrose, I would just say initially, that seems like too much pressure to me to try to go in a room and stuff.

Speaker 12 If you're a comedy writer, just write everything down. That's what George Carlin said.

Speaker 15 So if you're out with your friends, a lot of times just taking a walk or going to a movie, someone will say something.

Speaker 16 Make sure you either record it or write it down. And just do it spontaneously all the time.
And your headset gets into that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's hard to just sit and write and be funny. It happens all day.
And if you just write it when it happens, it don't say you'll remember it later because you won't.

Speaker 3 So just write it, write it, write it. And then you collect it and go, is there anything here? Is there anything here?

Speaker 50 That stuff's very valuable you basically only need to write five good jokes your whole life and then like david you use that the rest of your life in different

Speaker 59 ways

Speaker 28 yeah

Speaker 27 it's a it's a shade roast

Speaker 54 it's all right thank you guys so much good luck

Speaker 8 all right what do we got ambros i'm bro

Speaker 28 hi um

Speaker 3 I have a favor to ask you guys.

Speaker 90 It's my nephew's 15th birthday.

Speaker 90 it was my nephew's 15th birthday today, and I was wondering if I could make a video of you guys saying happy birthday to him.

Speaker 50 Imagine if we said no one meant it.

Speaker 62 You know, when Nepal,

Speaker 17 what's his name?

Speaker 69 What's his name?

Speaker 23 Nicholas. Nicholas.

Speaker 71 And we're going to say you want us to film it and then send it to you.

Speaker 32 And the whole theater sings happy birthday to Nicholas.

Speaker 28 Happy birthday to

Speaker 28 you.

Speaker 11 Happy birthday

Speaker 28 to you

Speaker 24 Happy birthday Nicolas

Speaker 28 dear Nicolas

Speaker 10 Happy birthday

Speaker 28 Nicolas

Speaker 32 Thank you

Speaker 19 trying to harmonize a little bit and it's my niece oh sorry

Speaker 28 guys my

Speaker 20 It's Testosterone, man.

Speaker 70 My name is Al, and I want to say that it's my grandma's dying, and it's her birthday day.

Speaker 43 And if we could sing happy birthday to her, that would be a great honor.

Speaker 84 What has changed?

Speaker 28 What's her name?

Speaker 53 No, but for real, this is such a fucking treat.

Speaker 20 This is such a fucking treat for all of us because you guys are all just such pillars of comedy.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 4 So thank you.

Speaker 28 You too, David.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 26 He's rolling.

Speaker 18 Here's my real question.

Speaker 58 So,

Speaker 93 you know, as when you're watching you guys, we pretend we're you, we see ourselves in you and shit like that. So when you did Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin,

Speaker 93 and then when you did that scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman,

Speaker 93 being you in those moments is like fucking incredible. So how was it being you in those moments?

Speaker 28 Two as

Speaker 53 some very cool co-stars.

Speaker 12 Yeah, two.

Speaker 50 You're funny as shit, shit, by the way.

Speaker 51 Good job, Lee.

Speaker 28 My name's Al Monero. Monero.
He's penned the Netflix Festival. You've got a great name for a comedian.

Speaker 50 God.

Speaker 50 You're so psyched you followed Ambrose, too.

Speaker 58 Like, he's going to take it down.

Speaker 43 Ambrose is looking for pen and paper.

Speaker 58 David, you do tune out.

Speaker 50 David tuned out. So

Speaker 50 Steve Martin, of course, all our heroes.

Speaker 51 Yeah, we love him.

Speaker 66 He's the celebrates of all time. All time.

Speaker 3 First time Hall of Famer, Steve Martin.

Speaker 29 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 50 Probably the number one ballad for us, right? Say it again?

Speaker 5 He was probably the number one guy.

Speaker 67 Memorized his albums on the ball.

Speaker 14 His albums, Wild and Crazy Guy,

Speaker 50 all the shit Steve Martin did. So, of course, being in a movie

Speaker 50 with him was just staring at him and waiting for like quiet moments to run over and say something. And hopefully, he'd respond.

Speaker 50 So I love that. And he was very nice to me.
And then

Speaker 50 Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Speaker 87 Yeah, fucking

Speaker 50 great tour de force that guy.

Speaker 50 He was just a very good,

Speaker 50 funny man. Took it serious.

Speaker 50 Went hardcore when we worked together. By the way, Philip Seymour Hoffman, I don't know if you guys know this.
So we're doing Billy Madison.

Speaker 5 I think

Speaker 83 we wrote,

Speaker 50 oh no, the Happy Gilmore.

Speaker 17 No, maybe Billy Madison.

Speaker 14 We wrote for Bob Odenkirk.

Speaker 50 Wrote that for Bob Odenkirk, the bad guy in the movie.

Speaker 50 And the fucking studio wouldn't allow it. They were like, you can't just have your friends.
And we were like, no, he's fucking great.

Speaker 71 And they said, no.

Speaker 25 It's Bob Odenkirk.

Speaker 87 He was a writer of the SNL.

Speaker 67 So I think that's how it went.

Speaker 50 I think it's okay. So we wanted Bob.
They said no. They put out,

Speaker 50 you got to audition, you know, audition people. Philip Seymour Hoffman auditioned, and I was in Toronto getting ready to make the movie, and it still wasn't cast yet.

Speaker 50 I saw Philip Seymour Hoffman, I was laughing my ass up. I'm going, who the fuck is this guy? He's hilarious.
So I tell the people, I show Universal, can we have this guy? Are you good with him?

Speaker 50 I mean, you fucking said no to Odenkirk. Are we okay with this guy?

Speaker 50 And they were like, and it took some talking into it, and then they said yes. Then we offered it to him, and we get this call back, like, yeah, he's not, he doesn't want to do it.

Speaker 50 And we were like, he doesn't want to do it. What do you mean? He auditioned.
And so I go, let me fucking talk to him, this guy, and tell him how great he is.

Speaker 50 And I called him up and I said, hey, it's Adam. And he's like, oh, hey, Adam, blah, blah, blah.
And I said, hey, man, I saw your tape. You're so great, buddy.
And they said, you don't want to do it.

Speaker 50 And he goes, oh, thanks, man. I go,

Speaker 50 do you want to do it?

Speaker 26 And he goes, oh, I can't.

Speaker 50 I go, oh, why not? He goes,

Speaker 50 I just don't want to.

Speaker 28 And I go,

Speaker 28 okay.

Speaker 28 You swore we're going to have some great answers.

Speaker 87 I don't want to.

Speaker 5 I go, I really love you.

Speaker 18 And he goes, I know you do.

Speaker 50 I swear to God. I go, wow.

Speaker 36 I'd like to have a good job. Thank you, guys.

Speaker 93 Hey, when you get bored and you want to go to YouTube, go to CryptoJunkies Easy. I'll make you rich.

Speaker 11 Hang on to that Cardano.

Moved out to LA for my pursuit of SNL.

Speaker 83 That's my dream.
