REACTION - SNL’s Big Cast Shake-Up

Cachava is one of our sponsors, and

this is sort of a drink you get, a lot of benefits, a lot of protein, a lot of everything, a lot of animal protein.

I drink cachava.

I wasn't aware of it.

They sent it to me.

And now,

you know, during my day, I am on the go.

I don't have to tell you.

You do.

You're always busy and you need sustenance.

You need nutrition.

You need protein.

I'm going to blow away.

Dandelion.

Yeah, I'm a little dandelion.

I've lost about three pounds lately.

I didn't mean to, but I'm trying to put it back and just rock hard muscle.

So

cachava has a lot of flavors.

They have a new strawberry flavor, right?

Strawberry.

It's got real strawberry and it's got real benefits.

You know,

the strawberry is great.

I am old school and do chocolate.

What I do is I chocolate.

I put a little spoonful of almond butter.

Yeah.

And not even a a full banana.

I don't want it too sweet.

I want to cheat.

You don't want everything tasting like candy.

You know what I mean?

No.

Chai is always an interesting kind of flavor, I find.

Chai.

Because it's kind of spicy and kind of sweet.

You know, I mean, you just have to try it.

You know, you got your matcha and your coconut acai.

Acai.

I now pronounce that properly.

I call it aka.

25 grams of plant protein.

Yeah.

Antioxidants.

And you got all the good stuff.

Yeah, all good stuff.

So, you know, you get it.

And it keeps me

kind of full, you know.

So I'm not like super full, but I'm safe.

It's a good, good one.

And I go along, and I usually have to eat all the time.

And I'm like, oh, I haven't eaten for a while.

So that's good.

It doesn't, I don't get all shaky.

So I keep my eye on it, but I gave my brother one of them because he wanted it.

So now I got him hooked on it.

So I think it's got, you know, it's got six six grams of fiber and good for mind and body.

It's a comprehensive all-in-one meal.

I mean, think protein shake, meal replacement, greens plus veggies, vitamins and minerals, you know, so it's like a guiltless thing where you go, I'm hungry.

I don't want to just eat some trash garbage.

Yeah, so you eat something healthy like this, and then it just smooths you out, calms you down.

You don't have to, you're not like all jittery and you're just calm.

You've never tasted strawberry like this so go to kachava.com use code fly for 15 off your order that's kachava k-a-c-h-av-a.com code fly for 15% off you don't need a fly on the wall to get the story on next level protection for your dogs in fact the only thing you need for that is next guard plus a foxaloner moxydectin and pyrantal chewable tablets from birthday parties to costumes social media accounts to puppy vacations next level pet owners will do anything for their dogs.

All right, Dana, it's David Spade and friends.

Welcome to an episode.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I'm happy to be your guest.

I got a great story for you right off the bat.

Okay, but first, let's just say

there's a lot of stuff going on at our

alma mater.

Old SNM.

A lot of stuff, a lot of cast changes going, some personal things out there, people we know, what's going on.

So we're going to go over that comprehensively.

Piece by piece.

Piece by piece.

And it's going to be a barn boy.

But first, we're going to do a little catch up because I haven't seen him in eight hours.

We had birds.

First of all, the SNL stuff, lots of rumor, lots of innuendo.

Intrigue.

Palace intrigue.

Who comes?

Who goes?

Why?

Why?

Who, what, where, what?

What do we do when the world asks?

Why?

Exactly.

You know that was

JFK.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Yeah.

No, it could have been Bobby Kennedy Sr.

during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Was it Bobby Kennedy?

That said that, I believe.

I believe.

What do we do in the world ask why?

But it could have been Jack.

Anyway, back to your weekend.

You'll never guess who

killed Bobby Kennedy in the kitchen at the Roosevelt.

No, I will never guess.

Sir Han Sirhan, isn't it?

You're kidding.

You're kidding.

Is that his name?

Yeah.

Yeah, I wasn't even doing that as a joke.

I was saying he was a busboy there, and then I was going to promote busboys.

Oh, whoa, that's that's a stretch.

I know.

I was really trying to link it together.

God, my hair's getting long, dude.

I know.

I don't know what's going on.

I would have had to get sidewalls.

You got kind of a you're turning into me.

It's kind of well, I'll start this with this.

This is a hat from my gig I just did.

It's black, though, and it's white.

What does it say on it?

I can't.

It says Alaska.

Hmm.

Do you know where Alaska is?

Nebraska is a corn husker.

What's in Alaska?

Alaska are the Blubbers.

The Blubbers.

That sounds.

That's their NFL team.

I bought it Hook Lions.

The Blubbers.

They had a gig up there.

It's the Keystone State or something to do with mining.

Is it?

Heather, see if Alaska is the Keystone State.

I don't know if it's that, but it's something to do with.

Heather jumps off TikTok quickly.

Her TikTok is rocking.

Okay, go ahead.

Listen, so Dana, I have a gig up.

Pennsylvania.

Oh, Pennsylvania is the.

Well, I was close.

What's Alaska, though?

No.

Alaska is just the, you know what, the Grizzly or something, or something to do with the, yeah, I could get on the tip of my brain.

I think it's called the Bring a Coat state.

Is it really that cold?

So why, I mean, while she works on this, why would anybody

go to the trouble to play Alaska?

Like, if I could beam to Alaska, I'd play it there tonight.

Right.

It's called fan interaction and the people matter to me.

Are you, are you, I'm just going to say this because you can't say it.

Are you gigantic in Alaska?

I mean, is that your.

I will say.

Are you chained Gillis in Alaska?

Yeah, they're appreciative when you come up there because,

listen, the gig I did was a state fair.

These are things as a comedian, you know, that watch for these early warning signs.

State fair equates to

kids.

One problem with state fairs, Alaska is the last frontier.

Okay, that makes sense.

And it's true.

So state fairs, I did one with Gary Shanling, open for him.

R.I.P., one of the greats.

We did it in Arizona where I'm from.

And it was one of those things where it was one of the events.

So it was come one, come all.

Everyone could trickle from the corn dog hut into there from Indian fry bread, from the tilt to whirl.

They all go in.

And so it was kids all ages.

And I was like, eash, but it was probably 3,000 people.

I proceeded to bomb unsurprisingly, but Gary did pretty well, but he's

pretty clean, I think.

Remember, you got to clean it up a bit.

Innuendo, but clean.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So this is,

you would have killed.

Yes.

And

but state fair, I thought

it was intriguing because

it's a state fair.

But then they said it's three in the afternoon I go on.

Now it stays light till about midnight.

And I didn't know it was outdoors.

I didn't really think of that part.

So it's very challenging.

I kind of liked the challenge of this is a lot.

So when I get there, about a week ahead, I put it on my weather on my apps, and it says where I'm performing is 70% chance of rain.

I was like, oh, I forgot about rain.

So

anyway, long story longer, I go,

you have to go through Seattle, layover,

not direct, huh?

And you know what I hate to say?

An unnamed, this happens to all airlines.

I just want a TV to veg out.

Just kill time, right?

They say, oh, this flight has TVs.

I said, Thank God.

I get there, it hits me, there's no TVs.

And I go, Where's the TV?

And they go, It's on your phone, silly.

Uh-uh.

So they announced that they had TVs, but they meant it was because you were carrying a portable TV, i.e., your phone.

I think that's false advertising.

I'm gonna call bullshit on that.

What's the name of the airline?

Let's get sued or sued.

It's also called being rat fucked.

So

I don't want to look and download 18 apps and then get on wife it's just too much so

it's like taking a date and you go to a drive-in theater and she goes where's the screen i go it's on your phone dipshit you thought

why would you think it's there at the drive-in on the screen that's drive-in theater with a big screen what era did you come from when were you

if you want to hold it out like this we go to a field and we look at our phone and hold it and we cuddle up and watch tick tock cuddle up there's some marshmallows maybe a thing, and you go home.

All right, hats coming off because people got to see the scary hair.

So, that happened anyway.

Question for you: also, they have stuff.

Go ahead, ambient sound.

So, when you're on there outdoor, there's a thunderstorm.

Because when I did one for a second, I heard a country western band kick in to the point where the whole amphitheater I was in outdoors could hear them playing.

Yeah.

So, I'm doing my acting.

man and then the rodeo across the way it was huge i'm billy knock no now is on this thousand pound bullet so all this ambient noise and i'm going wasn't that special not got

you're trying to be louder

well i just i just broke down the show and go started singing with the band or pretending but did you have ambient sound with sound over

i had bobby and dan levy with me and we uh you're like uh that's incredible we have two well

because and i have to do an hour but they, when I, before I left, I said, hey, Alex, manager, this feels like a clean show, right?

That's a little harder, so I got to go through everything and really.

He said, no, they said no restrictions.

I go, are you sure?

Because

kids are at the, so anyway, we go there.

I go over to the petting zoo.

They have a little petting farm.

Pet the goats.

And

now I got a reindeer dog and it started to back up on me about two hours later.

I go, I think Christmas came early.

A corn dog is called a rain dog.

Is that it, Bob?

Is that a corn dog?

Reindeer dog.

Because by the way, up there, they're like, you should have a bison burger, the reindeer skewers.

I'm like, I don't know.

I'm not here to experiment.

I think you go on a, you know, kind of a state fair tour because obviously you took to it and you crushed.

You know, I wound up when Bobby went on, it was so sunny, we weren't worried about the rain.

He had to wear sunglasses because the sun was setting and Jim Gaffigan had did this gig and he said he had to wear sunglasses and so I guess they understand it and then when Dan went on it was getting cloudy so he was okay when I went on the first thing I said I went up and then someone put on their poncho and I go look at this guy put on their poncho it's not even raining and they all go it is raining I was like Oh, it started raining.

Joke once.

So the audience is getting wet, but you have a thing on top here, like a pavilion, and they're all getting, it's getting into one of the worst.

I did Laughlin, Nevada,

same thing with the raking light with like 40 people in a 2,000-seat amphitheater with Chris Katan and Tim Meadows.

What's a raking light mean?

Raking, like right in your eyes, like the sun was trying to go down.

It was like just blinding.

So

I don't know.

Well, I said,

and it was raining on him.

So I said, the guy backstage who runs it told me

it might rain.

I said, well, if it rains, they're going to start to leave.

And he said, no, in Alaska, we're not a bunch of pussies.

And I said that in the crowd went,

they loved it.

They loved it.

By the way, not one person left.

They got rained on.

They didn't.

It's Alaska.

That's what they, they're Alaska tough.

They're tough.

I like those people.

So I had a good time.

The only last thing I'll tell you, and then I'll tell you 20 more things was

when I was sitting at breakfast waiting for those guys, I'm on like a bench seat along the wall.

The hotel's packed to the fucking gills for some reason.

And then this woman next to me, she goes, she's staring at me, oh,

and I just keep like reading the menu.

And she goes,

I hear her making noise, and she goes, Dana Carvey.

Oh, wow.

Classic color.

I go, uh, close.

Then I keep reading.

She goes, you're Daniel Carvey.

I go, I'm not.

But yes, I know, Dane.

I know what you're saying.

And it's, we used to work together.

We used to have the same job.

Then she goes, but you're that guy.

And I go.

And then she goes, I don't have my phone because I left it in Vancouver.

I go, what?

Vancouver?

Dude, if I left it in my room, I'd be fucking flipping out.

Three minutes ago, I'd be like, eeek, glick, glitch, glitch, glitch.

So

she finally goes, I could tell by your voice, you're Dana Carvey.

She kept hammering and everybody's now in the restaurant.

I was like, it's not him.

But

anyway, I finally have to say, no, no, I'm a different guy.

And then, well, will you sign it?

Sign me something because I don't have my phone.

So I sign it, David, but I put not Dana Carvey underneath.

As soon soon as the weather cools down, you know this.

I'm all about layering.

I know.

I know.

Yeah, I'm like layered Hamilton.

And I realized that I reached for the same staples over and over again lately.

So many of those pieces have come from Quince

because, you know, they're 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters.

Those are a favorite

of mine.

They're unbelievably soft.

They're cozy without being too bulky.

I don't want to bulk up and look too swole.

And the fact that they start at just 60 bucks still surprises me.

I've also added their denim into my rotation.

Everyone loves the denim.

Yeah, it's the kind that actually holds up after a full day of wear.

And when I need something a little sharper, I go to their real leather jackets.

That's a go-to, instantly pulling my personal look together.

What I love about Quince is how they make high-quality pieces feel accessible.

You know what I'm talking about?

They work directly with ethical factories and skip the middlemen, which means you get fabrics and craftsmanship you'd normally see from luxury brands at half the price.

Keep it classic and cool this fall with long-lasting staples from Quince.

That's q-u-i-n-ce-e.com/slash fly.

You know those mornings where everything feels like it's moving 100 miles an hour?

Emails are flying in.

You're trying to hit your protein goals.

Somehow you're already running late?

Yes.

Same.

That's exactly when I hit pause and I head to Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Whether I'm craving something bold and fruity or warm and savory, Tropical Smoothie Cafe makes it easy breezy.

I'll grab a peanut paradise smoothie, 22 grams of smooth peanut buttery protein, or mix it up with a PB protein crunch bowl, packing a punch at 32 grams of protein.

And when I'm in a breakfast sandwich mood, their sausage, egg, and cheese, dilla, or the all-American wrap are always hot, toasty, and packed with the protein I need to actually power through my day, not just survive it.

The best part, I order ahead in the app, swing by, and grab it on the go.

No waiting, no stress, just me, my smoothie, and a much-needed mental getaway.

Every smoothie, bowl, and wrap wrap is made to order, filled with better-for-you ingredients and serious good vibes.

So go ahead, manifest a more refreshing morning.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

You're on Tropic Time now.

I had an interesting experience.

We went to Hertz Castle again.

We were gone a couple of weeks ago.

Whoa.

And they have this thing with these giant buses, big, heavy, eight-tire buses.

And they go up the 1600 feet incline around hairpin turns up to the castle.

Then you see the event, and then you're coming back down.

So we sat in the very front, and I'm watching the guy down shifting.

It looks like you're going 30, 40 miles an hour right at a hairpin turn.

There's no guardrails, and he's kind of like straining to turn.

If one tire gets out, we're trundling down.

Trundling.

And right before we got into the thing, the guy, we had been guided the whole way through, very nice woman.

She goes, Hey, well, isn't that special?

I gave her a hug.

And then, going down, I was really nervous.

My palms were sweating.

I was watching the driver.

He had a cloth, and he was wiping off the sweat.

So then I came up with this idea.

It just hit us like a ton of bricks.

I don't think it'll be funny on the podcast, but I just did a news report.

Ladies and gentlemen, at this hour, the church lady is no more.

As if I trundled off the thing, but no church lady went to heaven.

The church lady is no more.

I don't know where that phrase comes comes from.

And the church lady is no more.

But anyway, it was a fun trip, but you should go up there.

Where is that?

Central California.

It's near south of Monterey, north of Papadaba, near Paso Robos.

It's about a guy with a billion, trillion dollars who just kept building and building this giant thing.

Charlie Chaplin was there, Winston Churchill, you know.

They were there this weekend?

Yeah.

Carrie Grant came by.

Couldn't believe.

I told you that the other day that I use old-timey movie star voices when I'm calling Comcast.

Yeah, I like this.

And they're like, Sam, have you tried turning on off your machine?

And they don't know who Carrie Grant is.

So the whole time I'm just going, yes, I did.

I turned it on and off, but nothing happened.

And I'll turn it on and off again, but nothing's happening.

Well, they go, well, I don't know.

Let's see.

Do you want someone to come out?

Well, that'd be very nice.

If you could have someone come out and take care of my gum cast.

I used to have TiVo.

Then I have Spectrovision.

And I don't say, who is this?

Are you making a fun?

This is the way you talk.

They just accept Carrie Grant completely.

We should bring back that talk again because it sounds cool, actually.

It is kind of a very strange accent.

And sometimes I

cannot do Henry Fonda.

I'm trying to watch the game.

I'm not getting any kind of reception here.

And they don't say, hey, are you Henry Fonda?

They just work work with you yeah so anyway that's a little fun little side note no that's that's it other than that i would not go to that place it's not far enough for me i like to go to super effing far i got confirmation because i said to our mutual manager mark slervitz book me where david went and i am going to play it in the dead of winter they would love you february 1st it's called the ice bowl that day

actually Alaska was really fun.

And it's fun to see a place that you never, ever go.

And it was a good reason to go.

And then we drove around and we ate and everyone kept pushing the salmon on us.

Have you tried the salmon?

The funniest part was everyone, everyone.

We all have like a Canadian accent, kind of?

Kind of.

I'm sort of cheating it, but

everyone has either New Balance or Rokus or...

snow boots or just boots.

It's all boots.

And then we leave the hotel, we see the guy in an empty room, the shoe shine guy.

And I'm like,

who's got who?

Not one person had hard shoes in that hotel.

And he's just a broke shoe shine guy from another era.

Yeah.

I want to go there.

Honestly, I would love to go to Alaska because I'm from Montana, which has a lot of that.

But Alaska is like 2.0 as far as underdeveloped, grizzly bears everywhere.

I mean, you saw the grizzly man guy.

It was in Alaska, the guy who just got killed by the grizzly bears because he loved them too much.

I've decided I could maybe beat a bear in a fight if they were declawed

to make it even.

Couldn't they just go like that and you'd be dead?

I don't know.

I don't think they need the claw.

No, because we would grapple a little bit.

Right.

And then it would be fair.

And then also they'd have to be roughly in my weight class.

So you would, they wouldn't know they were in a fight, a grizzly bear versus you declawed.

They would know they're getting something.

You would make your presence known as a physical being.

They would try to make themselves bigger.

I go, oh, to scare me.

It doesn't work with me.

It works the other way around.

It doesn't work with me.

Because I hit a fly in the shower.

I shouldn't even tell you this.

I was getting in the shower.

Where are we?

I'll save this for next episode.

It's too good.

Okay.

We have pressing news.

Yeah, we have

pressing news about SNL.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

We're the last people to report on this.

We were just there.

No, it's happening live in real time.

So basically,

we can do these in different chunks.

There was two big things that caught my attention.

Well, three big things.

One is the people that they let go that are not coming back.

Two is the people that they hired.

And then the fact that please don't destroy,

please don't destroy.

Please don't destroy.

So that was disbanded in a very long time.

They destroyed.

Please don't destroy.

Please don't destroy.

And they asked nicely.

The exit people, Heidi Gardner, Devin Walker,

Emile, Michael Longfellow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, Heidi.

Rosebud.

Rosebud Baker as a writer.

Yeah.

We had on the pod right before that.

And she did feel a bit waffly.

Right?

Yeah,

a little bit,

you know.

I just say there's two lanes.

There's one lane where you're a little iffy.

Is this the right thing for what I should be doing with my resources, my personal talent?

Am I getting paid enough to make it worth my while?

If you're the tip of the spear, if you're on the show all the time and you're really killing it, then you don't, you want to stay, you know.

And also, like Rose, but

there's also not just her, but there's a mental aspect of like,

can I take it another year?

I mean, you know, like that sinking feeling.

You don't know it.

I know the sinking feeling.

I had a weird time,

when you don't get anything past read-through, and that is the longest week because you get out at Wednesday and you're like just staring and you're just invisible because everyone's like, all right, I got to direct my sketch.

I got to meet with Keith.

I got to put this set dressing together.

I want to go to Wigs, figure that out, hair and makeup, and talk to the cast.

And everything's happening around you.

Now you got to start on Wednesday night thinking about the next host, going, what can I write for next week?

Because I didn't get anything on as a writer or performer.

And I think some of these guys had that problem

that if you're a cast member, it's just like

such a mind effort to sit there and wait and wait and watch everyone and be happy for it in cheerlead because you want to be part of it.

And then you just go, shit, I'm not really part of it this week.

And then all Saturday and watching things kill.

And that's tough.

Well, the first time that when I went on years ago, there were just three main

male cast members.

It was me and Phil and John Lovitz left over from 85.

Right.

And so, and then we had Kevin Nealon and feature a Whitney Brown and so forth.

And they became main people.

But it was,

it's very interesting how for a long time, it's 17, 18, 19, 20 people.

And so there's some people, if you don't get on the show, Devin Walker had told me this because I was just out there.

you were out there, Hunter Biden.

You became Hunter.

You became Hunter Biden.

There was no moment, David Spade.

It actually was a great look.

And you were great.

But Devin had told me

that when you don't get on the show a lot, to your point, then when you get out there and you have a moment, you're not just sort of relaxed.

Because it's like if you don't score here, you go back in line.

So

it can be emotionally violent, depending where you are on the show, or it could be a magic ride nothing likes killing on live television um we can bounce bounce around a get but the one that got my attention the most was the please don't destroy

uh because it seemed to me they were really popular they were an in which is the group of three the sorry the group of three guys ben marshall john higgins and martin hurlihy yeah um

and they do these short films kind of esoteric ones they you know with you know, Timothy Chalamet or whoever.

Taylor Swift has been in them.

Like, they get big stars in them.

Yeah.

So that really surprised me.

And on a human level, I was surprised that they kept some of them.

So John Higgins is not going to be part of SNL.

And he's on.

Yeah.

Steve Higgins' son is.

He's not at all?

Not at all.

Ben Marshall, the taller guy with the fair hair, he's going to be a feature player.

And then Martin Hurley, Tim Hurley's son, to be all in fairness, he is going to be a writer.

But John Higgins' dad is Steve Higgins, who does, is the sidekick to Jimmy Fallon, the announcer, and also writer, producer, been on the show in and around.

I don't think so, but he's just been a producer, writer there for like 20 years or more.

I don't know.

And that's his son.

And I don't know all the dis how the decisions are made, made, but that's just on a human level.

It's sort of like, you know,

it's don't don't know.

I mean,

you know, that didn't hit me that

if they pick up one as a cast member, it immediately breaks them up.

And now they're not

on the show because they were only really in those things.

And they also wrote.

They were writing sketches.

Oh, okay.

They were writers.

And then that was the thing they did.

It wasn't on every week, Please Don't Destroy Me short film, but it was on consistently, it seemed me, you seemed to me, eight to 10 episodes a year.

Sure.

So, you know, as far as, you know, Martin Hurley, he, his dad's a great writer, Tim Hurley, he is writing stuff with Sandler all the time and did write a lot of classical movies.

So, but these are, they would call them Nepo people, but they're really talented.

All three of them work together.

I never saw that one was above the other.

I thought it was very, they had a lot of chemistry.

And

so that was kind of surprising.

How mentally tough that's a, that really is drama.

I mean, my gosh.

Yeah.

Because it's so tough there anyway, and they were making some headway.

And I think they did a Please Don't Destroy movie.

They did.

And I do think,

I'm not sure, but I think they do own Please Don't Destroy.

And

they're currently doing some dates.

So we'll say they probably wonder,

but i don't know oh my god so the one guy has to say i'm gonna take this

i'm gonna be a cast member how it's awkward for sure right it's just weird yeah it's like the three sheets she has and they they take mo howard but then you know shem doesn't get anything right it's not literally like that i'm trying to think of a trio the marks brothers were taking groucho but not harpo i'm not saying it's that but it is different they have a fan base i mean they definitely sometimes they would wait a week for a host or something.

Like,

they would write something and go, oh, when John Hamm comes, he'll do this, you know, and, and then to write for the show.

But it, so one is going to be a performer, probably still a writer.

One is going to be a writer.

Writer, Martin Hurleighy.

Yeah.

And Higgins, John Higgins, he's good.

Son, who's very good, very funny.

is just not the show anymore, you know.

So it must be just awkward for his dad and everything, you know?

So, I mean, he's very talented and they're all talented.

And, you know,

everyone at one point is an ex-SNL cast member or writer.

You're always going to be post-SNL way longer than you're on SNL.

So it does happen eventually, and he's got a good foothold as far as...

being seen as a great writer, great performer, along with his two friends, you know.

Right.

He could be thrown thrown in movies.

I mean, any of them, I think,

one of them was in Happy Gilmore 2, I think.

Probably.

But I don't know if that has any bearing on who stays, who goes.

Yeah.

So that's just a

number one.

On top of everything else, on top of just that, you know, it's already a full cast.

And Heidi, do we know, did she leave or was she?

From what I know as of this recording, that it was not her idea to leave.

Now,

I could be wrong about that, but that's that's what I'm saying.

That would be a little shocking because she's really

one of the core ones you know from that show, and she always does a great job.

You never know, and it is a hard thing, but I was really, really surprised.

I think she's got a likability.

She can play real, straight newswoman, serious.

She can play big, broad, funny, physical.

So I was surprised by that.

She has finished a full eight seasons,

which is right up there.

Eight is a lot.

Eight's a lot.

Eight is enough was a show.

Eight is enough, who got their name eight is enough based on what you just said.

It knew that eight is a lot.

Based on the

there wasn't even SNL then, but that's a whole nother story.

I mean, when you look back, Dana, as you were brushing against against earlier when you were talking, the first cast was maybe eight

total, maybe

seven or eight.

And that's why they were all stars.

They're all in everything.

And you're like, you kind of look like this person.

You do it.

As we said, Dan Aykroyd, mustache, play Nixon.

Don't wear a wig, nothing.

You're just Nixon.

And it all worked.

When it was up to us, when we were there, it was really fat.

And I think it stayed pretty porky because right now

once you guys were added and a lot of us were different words.

It's chunky right now.

Yeah, it used to be some blubber.

Lean and mean and now it's chunky and flat.

They need a little fucking I've always empic over there.

It's a sink or swim.

It's a hedger bet.

You go or you don't go.

It's like it reminds you of Hunger Games.

You're looking out the window.

Send in this, you know, like in Hunger Games just to cause trouble, right?

Or Gladiator, bring in Brutus and see if he can stab anybody.

If not,

like when Joaquin stabs him and goes, hey, good luck out there.

And he's like, oh,

I'd love to get stabbed in the movie just so I could do that moment of like,

and then you go, I know it hurts and it hit an artery, but I'm still going to be out there.

And then you pull it out.

40 minutes.

My character would pull it out.

And then like,

slow motion.

All right.

So, let's just give our props to Michael Longfellow, a really cool

Arizona dude.

All these people, uh, Emil was

an adorable person and funny out there, you know.

So, it's it's it just they can't have a hundred cast members.

I don't know how these people feel, but I give them my props for uh being I was there with all of them.

Yeah, super likable.

I was there for 10 freaking weeks.

Yeah, you moved there and deserted me.

But Lauren and I talked a lot.

Next year, Dana, what do you think?

Where do you want to go?

And I said a lot of things.

Dana.

Oh, also, I'll say on the newcast, there's only two I know briefly.

Okay.

Veronica.

I'm going to go with Kowska.

Sure.

Okay.

Who are we looking at?

Which one's this?

Oh, okay.

Here she is.

Here's a new cast member.

I'm done, done, done, done.

I'm done.

She does these goofy videos all the time.

I'm done being the beauty standard.

I'm done being Mrs.

Beautiful online.

I'm sick of it.

Okay?

I'm sick of this making the money.

I'm sick of this making the money.

I'm sick of it all, okay?

I'm done.

I want you to know me for my mind.

If you crack the skull open and would be able to read it like a scroll, you would find some fucked up shit.

I'm not kidding.

Okay, well, then what is like

so?

Why are you, why are you posing like that?

Then, if you don't want to be talk, Kyle sexualizing me, it's fucking disgusting.

That's all she does.

Okay, then stop doing that and say, like, stereo terry vibes.

It is fucking disgusting.

She is fucking full bananas, but she does these on Instagram and she's funny.

So she will be play.

She has characters.

She also is in tires with Shane, and she was on there this season.

So listen, she's good, high quality.

She'll be good.

There's brilliant people that

are soft-spoken or on their back foot and have a dry, kind of quirky way about them.

When you see her, she's on her front foot.

She's like, she's got a neurotic, or she's portraying a neurotic energy with a lot of pop to it.

So I can see that.

That can pay off.

Kate McGinney vibes.

You don't want to put any, you know,

I can see some Sherry O'Tary in there.

So, yeah, sure.

It's a little, it's a little nuts.

And

she sings, which also helps because if you can sing on that show, you're in X-More sketches.

Oh, she sings too.

Okay.

Well, let's officially wish her all the best.

Yeah, wish her the best.

And

if we were casting the show, we probably cast her.

Yeah.

We used to go to Lake Ronan in Montana, seven people and a small station wagon.

And we stayed in these cabins where you could see through the walls.

What does that mean, so thin?

Yeah, it was pretty, pretty funky, but we liked it.

But Lake Ronan in Montana, off Flathead Lake, would have been nice to get an Airbnb.

And in that case, you could have had a little more variety, maybe get a bunkhouse for all the kids so they could stay up all night and tell scary stories.

Yeah, listen, it's a good idea.

Most recently, it's kind of famous.

People are talking about it with my Irish relatives.

And

they wanted, we wanted them to have their own place in town nearby.

And there was an Airbnb there.

And they loved it.

In fact, I said, how was it?

And they said, I can't believe it.

Airbnb.

It's a bigger place than we thought we'd ever have.

Yeah.

You know, a lot of.

I think everyone I know has done an Airbnb at some point.

Also, you can take your own place and use it as an Airbnb.

So a lot of people are doing that for extra cash, and that's

not a bad idea.

Think about it.

Cam Patterson is

on our friend Tony Hincliffe.

And let me tell you how it happened.

I was on Tinder.

It was three o'clock in the morning.

uh you know at three o'clock you want to something real bad so i was just swipe like a motherfucker i was just sending out hair marys like a bitch right and at one swipe i just seen some big ass titties i was like

so i just went i want to suck your titties and she responded well come suck them then

touchdown so

so i get to the crib right and i don't see big ass titties i see dwayne the rock johnson in a weird so now i am terrified i'm scared as so when i get out of the house i lock myself in the bathroom and i start doing doing research, right?

I want to make sure she's really a lady, right?

So,

I'm in and I'm scrolled and shit, and I found out she was born a lady.

So, I'm like, oh, cool, we can fuck now.

But I don't know if y'all notice or not.

If you're ever fucking a girl you think might be a dude, your research never stops.

So, 30 seconds in, we're fucking the missionary, right?

And she thinks I'm trying to choke her, but I'm feeling for Adam's apple.

Bitch, you ain't trying to get me, stupid.

Dumbass.

At one point, we were fucking, I felt so safe in her strong-ass arms.

I just let myself go.

I felt free.

I felt so free.

And we were fucking.

And at one point, she bitch pressed me out of her pussy.

And I just went,

I was having a great time.

Okay, well.

Is there a longer clip?

Cam is funny.

I saw Cam at, I went to the stand when I was in town in New York last time, and Tim Dylan was on.

I went on a show and it was me and Tim Dylan and Cam.

And Tim was hilarious, of course.

And then Cam.

And those two guys are both in Buzz Boys.

And I wanted to see Cam because I hadn't really seen him much.

And I never seen him in person.

And he has very interesting take on these stories.

He had a story about his sister that was really funny.

So long story short, I could see.

Cam on that show.

I could see it.

Eddie Murphy vibes, that kind of stuff.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming because it's sort of like, oh, tell that story on update, and how much would he have to compromise the rhythm of the language?

You can't say, fuck, so I want to go make love to her, you know?

And so that's the only thing I would see.

Does he, he must have bits where it's just there, it's clean, right?

Yeah, really rough around the edges stuff.

And, you know, on Kill Tony, that that's kind of how the vibe is.

But people like that and appreciate it out there.

Now, does it tame him down too much on SNL?

I don't know.

That's

but uh, he has a very likable vibe about him and a charismatic vibe, so you're you're compelled.

Yeah, there's something uh

about him that's really, really, yeah, he's a good-looking kid, he's extremely charm.

So, and he's telling this story that's like, and he's still just really likable throughout.

I want some titties, and I see it's like, but there's something about his uh utter honesty.

Yeah, he knows what he's doing in the stand-up, and uh, and there's uh Tony Brennan.

I don't think I know, maybe I know.

no let's try tony brennan oh okay i've seen okay all right

yeah you don't see eight a lot anymore i think mainly because it's the wrong choice probably

is that kids you can't love eight kids individually

you manage them like a sports franchise you know like you love the overall team sure but you can trade a couple players

Absolutely.

We all have these weird individual relationships with our parents in my family.

Like me and my dad are in a fun spot because my dad's a doctor, and I don't have health insurance.

It rules, because anytime he's like, I don't believe in your career, I'm like, dude, same here.

Right back at you, doc.

That's why I never call.

That's out of pocket.

Unfortunately, when I lost my health insurance, my dad kind of became my go-to doctor.

That's not a great relationship to have with your primary care care physician.

Me and him have to have little medical check-ins.

He'll be like, hey, you should drink less.

And I'm like, hey, you should hug more.

Let's treat the root cause, not the symptom.

That's good.

Okay.

So that was about him being from a family of one of eight.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I was on Fallon, it looked like.

I do like he wears a windbreaker too.

That's a funny look.

That's a cool.

He has a bit about that jacket.

I see.

Oh, he does

in a different clip.

Yeah.

I know what you're saying.

Clean-cut, good-looking kid.

You know, they're all different so far.

I think that.

Yeah, he's got a tinge of Mulaney in his looks.

Okay.

Yeah.

Who else?

Should we go down and show the rest, I guess?

Well, there's one more, I think.

There's

one more we did

for the first time.

Are you ready for the double blue?

Because we are about to set, set.

Oh, what's this?

Hold on.

Wow, this feel.

This is actually.

Oh, really?

It's really helping.

I feel great.

Avash ye matey.

Arr, we no longer respect you.

Oh, come on, listen.

Hey!

Hey, listen to me, you pirates.

I won't be challenged like this.

You sound stupid.

You sound like me, Tash.

Listen, I'm not your father.

I'm the most feared pirate in all of the seven seas.

We're going to go in there and pillage and kill.

Who's with me?

Damn it.

Okay.

Why does this pirate house sound like it's a two-bedroom on Wall Street?

Is this an improv show?

That's kind of, okay, so that's off a show.

Pirate needs a throat low because I think that they got that and then they improvised it.

Yeah.

I guess.

Yeah.

Well, that's pretty funny.

Okay.

So that's the whole, that's the whole squad.

I'm sure.

And he's probably from an improv background.

Well, I didn't know it was improv, complete improv, but yeah, he sort of was

in his eyes, he was having fun, you know.

Yeah.

And it's always good to work that.

For sure.

So it's hard to tell.

We wish him all the best.

We are not saying we're talent scouts, although, you know,

Dennis recommended David.

And then Lauren asked me what I thought of David.

And I said,

why are you pausing?

Oh, David Spain.

Well,

just say if yay or nay, I just need an answer, please.

Well,

I co-signed you

and Rob Schneider.

No, it's a big,

all that stuff obviously was the biggest push because they hear stuff on the streets.

Everybody gets it from some whisper of like, have you heard about this guy?

This guy's good.

Seen him in the clubs.

You see Cam on Kill Tony.

So something happens, and someone sees you on Instagram or and then enough people talk that they take a look and then your reps are pushing you, I guess.

And then, but if you have people on the inside going, oh, I know this person, they're great.

You know, that

helped me.

It helps a lot of people.

Yeah, because there is

that thing, but there is sort of like, I think for Lauren, is

how

he said this before, but does the cast, will they be friends?

Will there not be conflict?

Will there be someone you want to have dinner with or hang out with?

You know, it's that sort of, you don't want someone who is bringing toxic energy into the thing unless they're a genius or they're fucking brilliant.

But most are pretty humbled by that show, even best.

And this new cast, I mean, I think we can wrap up with this because this show is mostly going to be about that today.

But I think it's a good mix of those people we just saw.

So

I think they'll do a good job.

It doesn't mean it won't be very dramatic, as always, but I think they have some talent there.

And now it's now the fun starts where you got to start writing and go.

And we didn't get Ben Marshall, but he's been on there and Please Don't Destroy.

He's the tall

light hair, but we've seen

his work, his vibe.

He's funny.

And when is that first show?

I mean, it is September.

Holy.

October 4th.

So it's still like a a month away of them hanging out there.

When you're new and you're around the office for a month, it's very stressful.

You know, because you know it's out there where you got to go on live.

We went on a, were you there when we all went to Mohunk to all hang out?

Yep.

On a getaway.

cast get together hang out.

Get us all kind of together.

Sandler and bunk beds and parker like

Mohunk.

And every time someone talked about montauk i thought i they were saying mohunk wrong i'm like oh we went to the coolest plot place mohunk and everyone's like no one's gone to mohunk except no it was a haunted hotel i did a

movie there and it was absolutely haunted and chris farley was sleepwalking and we ended up spooning you know he came to my room and it's like it was like you know

He crawled in my bed.

Sure.

You know, there's one quick story that we can end.

But Norm said that when we were in that haunted hotel farley said norm i have to tell you a secret come with me no one can hear and he goes all right because you always go along with whatever farley oh yeah yeah and he walks him down then he goes go down this elevator then they go go in this fucking dusty room underneath and he goes pat's a girl

and that was it

we'll push our fan questions to next week because i like this talk but we're gonna um come back strong next week week.

We'll show clips.

We'll do news stories.

Any feedback on this?

We're just like you.

We're fans of the show and we just sort of went over everything.

And, you know,

let us know your take.

And

God bless all those people because it's just a lot of the family is your

siblings, whoever.

And it's a lot of...

Try to have fun.

It never works to say that, but that's the goal is when you're out there,

inside your brain, be having fun, if if possible.

And the people leaving are a little disoriented right now, but it will all be, it all works out.

Well, they're already Heidi Gardner's a big talent.

She's always fun.

Go places.

I see her on TV every three seconds.

She's on commercials.

God, she does commercials.

She's great.

Okay.

Thanks, everybody.

Thanks, Dana, for coming by and doing my show.

Thanks for having me on again, David.

It's been 200 times in a row.

I appreciate that.

And we'll see you guys next week.

See you next week, guys.
