Overview

This episode features comedian, writer, and actor Nick Kroll returning for one of the podcast’s loosest, funniest, and most free-wheeling episodes to date. The “Fly on the Wall” hosts, Dana Carvey and David Spade, riff endlessly with their old friend, bouncing from showbiz war stories to personal bits, SNL inside jokes, impressions, and deep dives into the art and evolution of comedy. The trio explores everything from the pressures of doing confessional comedy versus character-driven bits, to riffing on pop culture news like the (supposed) engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The episode is a joyride of impressions, absurd riffs, and honest talk about the weird world of show business.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

The Nature of Comedy: Bits, Jealousy, and Evolution

[08:49–12:09]

• Dana describes how some bits inexplicably get huge laughs (“George Bush Sr. on a high dive: ‘Gotta do it... Not gonna do it.’”), expressing envy of jokes that are funnier than he feels:
  • “You have bits in your act that get way, way bigger laugh than they should. It almost makes me mad.” – Dana Carvey [09:12]
• Nick reflects on moving away from confessional, personal comedy after he “was not rewarded enough for sharing”:
  • “I've retreated back away from the personal stuff... Let’s go back to broad characters separated from self.” – Nick Kroll [11:30]
• The trio discusses the dynamic of "feeding the beast"—sometimes favoring goofy, character bits over thoughtful stand-up or observational jokes because of audience response.

Riffing: 9/11 Jokes, Crossing the Line, and Audience Reactions

[13:07–15:21]

• David tries (and bombs) with a dark 9/11 joke about his mom’s bruise, highlighting how the audience’s discomfort with taboo topics can override the personal story.
• Nick shares his old 9/11 joke (“Show up late to work.”) [14:00], prompting debate about how far comedians are willing to go with edgy material and how conspiracy theories enter comic fodder.
• Quote:
  • “Are you jealous of some of your jokes?” – Nick Kroll [09:20]
  • “Some jokes are funnier than me, is that what you’re saying?” – David Spade [09:32]

Impressions, Riffs, and the Infinite Bit

[27:00–34:00]

• The episode becomes notorious for its marathon Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions and trading of character voices (e.g., Trump, Jimmy Stewart), pushing the bit as far as possible:
  • “28 minutes of trading Arnold impressions. That was a good one.” – Dana Carvey [58:28]
• Dana, David, and Nick bounce in and out of characters, demonstrating live what it’s like for pro comics to heighten and tag each other’s riffs without a set script.

Pop Culture & Showbiz Tangents

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Engagement (17:00–18:50, 22:51–27:00):

• Real-time riffing as “breaking news” of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s (fictional?) engagement hits. The group laughs about the implications for their hypothetical baby, brand deals, and what their lives would be if they weren’t famous.
  • “I think it’s a great day for white America. I’ll say that first catches a break.” – Nick Kroll [17:57]
• They spin up absurd stories about Oprah, Prince Harry, and even Megan Markle's jam business.

Industry Inside: Kids’ Shows, Voice Acting, and The Biz

• Discussion about Nick’s shows “Big Mouth” (Netflix) and “Adults” (FX/Hulu):
  • “Let’s do a cartoon about kids going through puberty. Oh, okay. We’ll make it G. No, let’s go right at it.” – Dana Carvey [39:25]
  • Nick discusses how “Big Mouth” arrived at Netflix’s formative streaming moment, giving the crew lots of leeway.
• They also joke about the oversaturation of TV and how audiences find content now (“There’s so much content… so that’s the task. How do we get people to watch it?” – Dana Carvey [32:02])
• Anecdotes about voice acting with Reese Witherspoon in "Sing" [34:33–35:44], and the difference recording together pre-COVID made for “Big Mouth.”

SNL, Sitcom Nostalgia, and Movie References

• Recollections of SNL legacy, the movie “Coneheads,” and the interweaving of SNL alums in different films (Ackroyd, Sandler, Farley, Jane Curtin, etc.).
• Joking about a proposed “Andy Griffith Show” remake with David as Barney Fife and Dan Aykroyd as Andy [49:35–50:13].
• Long riffs on sitcom characters like Mr. Roper, Don Knotts, and how comedic tropes and sexual innuendo landed differently in older TV.

Sexual Awakening and Media:

• A humorous tangent about what (and who) was considered the ultimate sex symbol when each host or guest was a teenager, ranging from Raquel Welch to Farrah Fawcett to Cindy Crawford.
• Nick: “Cindy Crawford in a Pepsi commercial and Dana Carvey doing Ross Perot—that was my sexual awakening.” [54:07]
• Dana delivers a Ross Perot-in-bed impression: “Can I finish? Can I finish one time?” [54:12]

Episode Tone & Style

The episode is relentlessly energetic, silly, and fast-paced. The hosts and guest thrive on riffing, tagging each other’s bits, and heightening impressions with little regard for narrative structure. Their rapport is playful, often meta, and they regularly break the fourth wall by commenting on their own comedic process. There’s a strong sense of community and comic legacy—everything is fodder for a bit, nothing is too sacred, and show business is both celebrated and gently mocked.

---

Concluding Thoughts

If you love inside-comedy talk, unfiltered riffs, and impressions, this is an essential “Fly on the Wall” episode. It demonstrates what happens when three “funny mother-shut your mouths” (as Dana calls them) meet with no agenda but to keep the laughs going for as long as possible. You’ll hear confessions about joke jealousy, riffs on trending news, deep dives into the business of TV comedy, and endless absurdist spirals into sketch and character.
Nick Kroll, as always, is riotously agile, and this unforgettable episode proves why riffing with comic friends is the true engine of comedy.

[Dana Carvey]

Water it all the time.

[David Spade]

A lot of comments.

[Dana Carvey]

Plants a hit. What about My Superman?

[David Spade]

Still a medium hit.

[Dana Carvey]

But yeah, I don't really need this much light. I feel like I'm using too much light, you know.

[David Spade]

No, I know. I'm, I'm down mixing things up and shaking up so it's a little dark behind me.

[Dana Carvey]

In this studio you're in a dungeon with and if you turn the lights off, be pitch black.

[David Spade]

No, my legs are chained right now so I can't escape. But we got Nick Kroll and we've had Nick Kroll before. We think he's funny as shit and I want to riff with him and fuck around.

[Dana Carvey]

Funny mother. Shut your mouth.

[David Spade]

And he's got, he's got, let me see, Big mouth. Of course. Huge show on Netflix, the animated show. He's got Adults, which is on fx.

[Dana Carvey]

He's producing that on fx.

[David Spade]

Ask him about that. And he has a special out and he's just a good guy to really mostly just have laughs with.

[Dana Carvey]

Yes, totally.

[David Spade]

We people want information, but they also want some laughs.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, he's, you know, there are comedians are sort of quiet or thoughtful. He's one of those that just like.

[David Spade]

You know, he wants to run with.

[Dana Carvey]

Anything to run with things, be funny. And by the way, we fancy ourselves as sort of, you know, intellectuals and father figures in some ways. So if you want to ask us questions about life.

[David Spade]

Oh yeah, that's right. You can always ask us questions. We'll answer them on the non guest show, I think. But ask weird ones because we don't want simple, we want complicated mind.

[Dana Carvey]

Yes, about your screwed up sex life. You know, financial issues, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. That's all very popular right now.

[David Spade]

Hilarious.

[Dana Carvey]

Fly on the walldecy.com is what I hear. Fly on the wall. One word, lowercase odyssey.com.

[David Spade]

Great. And we'll give you, we'll hand you off to Nick Kroll.

[Nick Kroll]

You don't hear me now?

[Dana Carvey]

Now he sounds incredible.

[David Spade]

Time for one more question.

[Dana Carvey]

I couldn't afford that mic so I got this stand up mic. I.

[Nick Kroll]

What's nice is there's a weight. So you know what I mean? You know, you feel like you don't have that heavy weight holding a microphone. It's nice. I've got that here.

[Dana Carvey]

We've got a lot more.

[David Spade]

Is it heavy? It looks heavy.

[Nick Kroll]

It's. Yeah. I mean I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna even go to the gym after this.

[David Spade]

No, but Nick, this is a real story related to this. When I do stand up. You ever seen stand up stand like this? It's because I'm using a little fulcrum because the mic's getting too heavy and pulling on my neck. That's how much of a pussy I am. It's unreal.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

Okay. And now I'm just going to raise. I want you guys to see. I'm going to raise it. I've got a urine test kit that I'm going to use to raise the.

[David Spade]

Okay.

[Nick Kroll]

Just to give you a little more.

[Dana Carvey]

That'll do it, right?

[David Spade]

Let's put it right on my.

[Dana Carvey]

That's gonna do it.

[Nick Kroll]

That's gonna do it. That's your famous.

[Dana Carvey]

That's gonna do it. Why? That's the thing is rhythms never go away because there's no. There's nothing funny about someone saying, God, do it. There's no reason. There'. Joke. There's no twist.

[Nick Kroll]

It's the song. It's a song that's gonna do it.

[David Spade]

Actually, you. The hook is just.

[Dana Carvey]

It's.

[David Spade]

It's like a chorus of a song. Like a hooky song. Yo, not gonna.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay, I'll do this for. I'll do this for Nick. Because it's. It. You know, you have bits in your act that get way, way bigger laugh than they should. It's almost mysterious. This is George Bush Senior going off a high dive. So I'm walking up to the front of the stage. Gotta do it. Gonna do it. Then I look down, I go, not gonna do it. And the laugh is so monstrous, it almost makes me mad.

[Nick Kroll]

Are you. Do you have that. Are you jealous of some of your jokes?

[David Spade]

Good question.

[Dana Carvey]

Jealous of them? Well, I'd like to have more.

[David Spade]

Some jokes are funnier than me, Is that what you're saying?

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, kind of. And you're like. You're kind of like, fuck, I wish I. Yeah, I wish I was as funny as my joke, I think.

[David Spade]

Yeah. Like when you get jokes at work all the time, you go, I wish they were all like this.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, well, I'm just doing sounds now and I was asking you about that.

[David Spade]

Just noises.

[Dana Carvey]

I'm just. Well, I'll just do Biden or Trump for 20 minutes or I'll do Red. Red Necky. I just not really into regular sound. Stand up as much, like. You know, like when you and I have this. Relate. I'm more into just giving them what they want because I'm a. And. And I'm. And I'm lazy. I'm a lazy. But. So. But it's fun. It's fun because that's what you do with friends. You don't really set up long form bits with friends. It's all kind of noise.

[Nick Kroll]

And do you not do observational jokes with your friends? Do you kind of point out the small things in life that are funny and talk to them about it?

[Dana Carvey]

Not in a way that gets them laughing really hard. Compared to in high school, the Volkswagen Bug, all my friends are stone and I'm doing an impression of the water polo coach and I'm winding it down for 10 minutes.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

I've never gotten people to laugh that hard. Well, why do dogs look out the window when they're driving? What are they thinking? What are they thinking? I guess I can run really fast now.

[David Spade]

I have been at dinner or lunch, I start to say something about the butter being hard and someone always goes, is this your act? Yeah. I go, yes.

[Dana Carvey]

Leaning in is good. So I was going to ask you, like when we talked to you last time, this is like an explanation point in podcasting, you said, oh, people want really, really kind of personal confessional stuff.

[David Spade]

Mm.

[Dana Carvey]

And you did. Still doing out there, doing stand up. Have you evolved into another style or you're in it, you loved it or.

[Nick Kroll]

I've, I've retreat. I've retreated back. I've retreated back away from the personal stuff. I was not rewarded enough for sharing.

[David Spade]

That's true.

[Dana Carvey]

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

[Nick Kroll]

Pullback. No Emmy nomination, you know, medium response. So I just was like, let's go back to broad characters separated from self observations about nothing to do with me. Let's put that wall back up.

[Dana Carvey]

Here's my new. That's a podcast high five. Like why? You know, because the people, they, they still. We got to go back to square one. It is. You want to make them helpless with laughter, right?

[Nick Kroll]

Ultimately, yes.

[Dana Carvey]

You don't want to be like a science, you know, high school science teacher or something or, you know, that. But there was. That there were great comedians, Hannah, Gatsby and so forth. They're doing more of a one man show.

[Nick Kroll]

Rest in Power. Rest in Power. To Hannah. Now gone these now many years.

[Dana Carvey]

Yes, yes. Rest in Power. What does that mean?

[David Spade]

I like it.

[Nick Kroll]

That's. I don't know. Some. At some point there became an alt on Rest in Peace that became Rest in Power, so.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, oh, Rest in Power. That's great.

[David Spade]

Yeah, that's my new special.

[Dana Carvey]

I say instead of right on, I say left on. I don't know what it means, but. But like you're kind of. I always see you as especially gifted at being balls out funny. Like aggressively, rhythmically, loudly, extra funny, you know?

[Nick Kroll]

So we got a real crossfire here with Spade.

[David Spade]

Yeah, I'm the other side.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, David has his own genius.

[David Spade]

Here's what I did last night, Nick, for being personal, because my mom fell and she's got this huge bruise in her face. And I go, my mom, poor mom. You know, when they get older. And now she falls straight down, like building seven. Now she doesn't even put her hands out. It's like borderline political. But they all kind of booed me. And I'm like, don't think of the 911 part of that. Think of my poor mom.

[Nick Kroll]

Right? That's what you. So you feel like you got. You went personal and they rejected it simply because you made a 9 11.

[David Spade]

Yeah. And I say back to goofy jokes because you can't handle it.

[Nick Kroll]

You can't handle. You can't. And are you. I mean, you did do a. A full hour on 9 11. I feel like you did.

[David Spade]

I said 911 conspiracy or reality? Like, what does that mean? I go, I don't know. It sounds kind of hooky.

[Nick Kroll]

Do you guys want to. My old. Do you want to Hear my old 911 joke?

[David Spade]

Yeah, of course.

[Dana Carvey]

Of course.

[Nick Kroll]

The lesson from 9 11.

[David Spade]

What was it?

[Nick Kroll]

Show up late to work.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

You know what I mean? Don't be afraid to.

[David Spade]

Don't go like that one guy.

[Dana Carvey]

911 is nickname at 7 11. So it doesn't seem so dark and more twisted.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

711 almost got caught in the crosshair because it was too close.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

It was like, what'd you say? Oh, 7 11.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, but you know what I heard. I heard Building three was already dynamited.

[David Spade]

We dynamited. We got an expert here.

[Nick Kroll]

The laziest conspiracy theory.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

I saw they had a couple guy with plungers walking around like this. But I will say that I did tell someone that. They go, this young lady is really big on 9 11. So if you want to talk, she gets into it. So I said, oh, something like, oh, did you not think the planes caused the explosions? Or you thought it was already set up with dynamited? And she goes. She goes, oh, you thought there were planes? I go, oh, my God. We're going back a step. There's no. There's no plane. She's like, that's so funny. You probably thought that, though. I go, I did, yeah. I go, what else is it?

[Dana Carvey]

She goes, mirrors. Literally thought, those are digital cop now with AI. No problem.

[David Spade]

I covers anything now but, dude, I.

[Nick Kroll]

Did it and did 9, 11 and that.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, dude.

[Nick Kroll]

And that's what we're not talking about. And that's what we're finally talking about.

[David Spade]

Everyone's scared. We're not.

[Dana Carvey]

I want to tell you about the moment because I think we talked about it last time where you were like, next level funny.

[Nick Kroll]

Please.

[Dana Carvey]

Like. Like, went to this thing that really made me laugh hard. And it was just. I think I was doing trunk. I was. We were at the Largo. Yeah. And then I was Trump talking to Kim Jong Un. And then you were kind. You got in this thing. Like, maybe it kind of turns him on. So you're doing, like. Oh, you're doing like Kim Jong. You kind of being flirty and sort of being turned on by Trump's attacks.

[David Spade]

Sure.

[Dana Carvey]

It was very quick and aggressively committed to. So anyway, that's all I got.

[Nick Kroll]

Thank you. Well, I appreciate that. I think. So we're all done now. I think we've covered. We got it.

[David Spade]

We got all the. Does it look like we're done? Yeah, we done.

[Dana Carvey]

Are you kidding?

[David Spade]

Notes guy.

[Dana Carvey]

Good Lord.

[David Spade]

I saw this.

[Dana Carvey]

You've done too much. We can't. I don't know when there's too many shows. Too much stuff.

[Nick Kroll]

Too much stuff. Can we. Can I. I can't help but say I see something in the studio chat that feels like something here.

[David Spade]

Oh, breaking news or something.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, Taylor Swift and Travis the football guy are engaged.

[David Spade]

What a good news, man.

[Dana Carvey]

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, yeah. Taylor holding.

[Dana Carvey]

Going to come out of witness protection, and Jeffrey's going to marry them because he's in witness protection, by the way.

[David Spade]

I thought they were engaged sort of already, but, you know, if this was a year ago, I would have been more shocked. But it feels like time. Right, Right.

[Nick Kroll]

Well, and this is breaking news because this podcast will come out in, like, six months. Yeah. So, like, oh, it's not Thursday. When people listen to this on Thursday. It's just.

[David Spade]

I was here.

[Dana Carvey]

So what's your blink on it? Yeah, what's your blink on it?

[Nick Kroll]

I think it's a great day for white America. I'LL say that first catches a break. Who's white? And I will say I watched Happy Gilmore 2 and I saw Travis Kelce. He's shirtless in it. And my take was like, he's got, like 1950s movie star body. You know what I mean? It's not like definition. It's just sort of. Yeah, it's like a strong, big man.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, it's like Charlton Heston kind of. Yes.

[David Spade]

And he had that kind of haircut, too.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

Yeah. Listen, it was all working for me.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. Right. Yeah, that's.

[David Spade]

I like any guy from any era.

That's your take.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, that's your take on the trip.

[David Spade]

That's what I walked away with.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

I thought Tappy Gilmore took place in the 50s. I didn't even understand what happened. Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

I missed the 50s guys with their shirts off.

You don't chug it.

[David Spade]

I don't. I'm actually.

Too much volume the babies couldn't have long blonde hair in the muscles of the football guy. 1950s baby body calves of Taylor Swift. The calves would be kind of puny, but.

[Nick Kroll]

The big eyebrows of Travis.

[Dana Carvey]

Slightly receding in the corners. Slightly. But not totally still attractive.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

The biggest lips of Taylor.

[Dana Carvey]

The Del Todd will be a little bit like me because, you know, I get around sometimes.

[Nick Kroll]

Everybody knows about the ext baby I made.

[Dana Carvey]

I made one baby with the housekeeper. Everybody goes crazy. Are we still talking about this kid?

[David Spade]

What are we talking about this extra baby I had?

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah. Let me. Let me tell you something. That's what he says before he talks about. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you. You know, I can't tell you. That was a big hit.

[Nick Kroll]

Football was a big hit. Is that what you're saying?

[Dana Carvey]

What's the name of his show?

[David Spade]

That's his show. Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Football is a big hit all over the world. It's canceled.

[David Spade]

We felt two seasons.

[Dana Carvey]

Two seasons. Read it and weep.

[David Spade]

We got out like Seinfeld on time.

[Dana Carvey]

Sorry. Fred Armorson. Two seasons. Why? Fred arm.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. Oh, you think you're so special. Fred Armisen. We do eight seasons of Portland here. Two seasons of football.

[Dana Carvey]

Netflix. Read it. Go make a sketch with Bill Ha. And then call me. I'll tell you if it's funny. Go to your well, Portland wrong.

[David Spade]

And no one noticed.

[Nick Kroll]

Nobody noticed. Go do your well observed documentary parodies. Fred Armisen with belated two seasons. Fortune Feimster, fubar, Netflix around the world.

[Dana Carvey]

Our decision. Fortune Feinster is my greatest reference so far on this podcast is what that he pulls out Fortune Fortunes in fubar.

[Nick Kroll]

Sits on fubar.

[Dana Carvey]

She was a fubar.

[Nick Kroll]

Spent a lot of time together in Toronto.

[David Spade]

Yeah, we'd really laugh and mix it up.

[Nick Kroll]

She does bits, but she can also.

[Dana Carvey]

Relate to dinner two minutes later.

[David Spade]

Drama, acting.

[Dana Carvey]

Have you made a fortune Fortune? She would laugh so hard at my goo attempts.

[David Spade]

She's in my Fortune 500.

[Dana Carvey]

I could create gua in the makeup room. I say, hey, maybe you need some more rouge. She would fall out of a makeup chair into a little baby girl.

[David Spade]

Two seconds later, I'm strapped to a tank.

[Nick Kroll]

And this is also a guffa.

[Dana Carvey]

A guy is more goofa for you. And then casual observations. There's nothing they can't do.

[Nick Kroll]

I was to governor and now I'm on stand up guffaws all over the country. It's me. Fortune farms that don't papa making bread.

[Dana Carvey]

Follow me with a camera.

[David Spade]

I'm a real clip farm.

[Dana Carvey]

It's a goofa along.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

People can sing to the measure of guffas that come out of the orifices of the audience. They call me.

[Nick Kroll]

Because I'm killing and all the time. Is that his name?

[David Spade]

All right, what's the show?

[Nick Kroll]

The show is.

[Dana Carvey]

What is show? Are we here to promote adults?

[Nick Kroll]

I'm here. I guess this is a. Guys, this is a real reach for all of us adults came out months ago. Okay.

[Dana Carvey]

They.

[Nick Kroll]

They said, do you want to come back and do.

[David Spade]

Dana, I know I came back.

[Nick Kroll]

That was absolutely. I have nothing. We could talk about adults. The TV show that I talk about that first. Okay.

[Dana Carvey]

Why not?

[Nick Kroll]

You guys have watched all eight, so let's talk. Let's talk episode five. Particular.

[Dana Carvey]

Yes.

[Nick Kroll]

Or six.

[Dana Carvey]

That's. Yes, that's one.

[David Spade]

Julia Fox.

[Dana Carvey]

Chloe has a. Has a crisis with her boyfriend.

[Nick Kroll]

You did. Okay, so. Yes. Chloe is so close. It's so fair to just assume one of the characters name is crisis.

[David Spade]

Chloe.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay.

[Nick Kroll]

Chloe's in a crisis, but Zoe. Okay.

[Dana Carvey]

Right.

[Nick Kroll]

There is an episode that Julia Fox did. She did chicken. Yeah. See, you just know shows by who you've someone. If a guest star has either you've slept with or jerked off to a guest star. You've. You know that episode.

[David Spade]

She was an Uncut jams.

[Nick Kroll]

She was. That movie rocks.

[David Spade]

Uncut Gems is a real nail biter.

[Dana Carvey]

But here's my question for you. And this is all about adults in fx. How the Fayak does everyone get access to shows? Because we go around with our friends going, hey, see anything on live streaming? That's a good show.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

You know, seen anything? Because it's like so much content. So that's the task. So, yes, the show's great. How do we get people to watch it?

[David Spade]

Yeah. How do you get off the ground?

[Nick Kroll]

I think in this case, you know, it's a show about kids in their early 20s in New York. And we cast really incredibly funny cast in their 40s. Some. They're all in their 40s. They're all like Greece. Yeah, they're all in their late 40s. They're English playing 22 year olds. It's so funny. It is so funny how you look watch old movies too and you're like that person. You know what I mean? You're like watching. I remember watching like, it's like Jimmy Stewart and this is a. I didn't mean to do this, but I'm. I'm realizing I'm doing it and he's supposed to be playing like an early 30s bachelor and you're like, you're you're maybe 55 at this point.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

No one questioned anything.

[Nick Kroll]

And what would that sound like if Jimmy Stewart was living in an apartment with a bunch of people in the early 20s?

[David Spade]

I know. Danny, you didn't bite on this yet. Go.

[Dana Carvey]

I know. I didn't want to be too greedy. Yeah.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, what are you all up to today? Let's go to the park. What are we doing here? I don't know. I'm 27 years of age. I don't want to live.

[Nick Kroll]

We're gonna do some Tick Tock videos today, Jimmy. We're putting some content on that again.

[David Spade]

Let's go to the Coffee Bean.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah. What the Is a Tick Tock central perk?

[David Spade]

That's what they called your dick. A Tic Tac.

[Dana Carvey]

Jimmy Stewart was 47 and it's a Wonderful Life when he played kind of a college kid in the beginning of the.

[Nick Kroll]

Right.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

The makeup's a joke. The past movies in the past are a joke.

[David Spade]

A joke. Pull them.

[Dana Carvey]

And all the people that made them are pricks.

[Nick Kroll]

And jokes rest in pricks, you schmuck.

[Dana Carvey]

There you go. Hey, guess what.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Analog television was pretty sweet visually to people. When I first went on Johnny Carson because I only see him on a blurry analog television, I was like, holy, this guy's had a couple cocktails and got some sun.

[Nick Kroll]

Yes.

[Dana Carvey]

Because I write. I. I won't do that one. Sorry. He's got a show called Adults on a network called fx. Ed, did you hear of accent? I guess.

[David Spade]

Nick, I have a quiz for you.

[Nick Kroll]

Yes.

[David Spade]

You played Gunther in sing.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

And who played Rosita?

[Nick Kroll]

Whoa, hard hitting questions. Jesus, I was not ready for this. Do you guys know. I mean, what's amazing right now is I am genuinely blanking on now. The name I found, Reese Witherspoon.

[David Spade]

It was Reese Witherspoon.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, it's Reese Witherspoon.

[David Spade]

And did you sing with her or did you do it separately?

[Nick Kroll]

We, you know, I just kept saying, let's get in the booth together. Let's just find the character together. One booth. One booth. A small booth.

[Dana Carvey]

Never. People are never together with those things.

[Nick Kroll]

We did a lot of big mouth together early on before the pandemic. And you can feel, you really do feel the difference when you're recording together. I would say, yeah, but I know Reese. We sang separately. We sing. Speaking of the newly engaged, you sang.

[David Spade]

Taylor Swift in the one I saw.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, I sing Shake It Off.

[David Spade]

Yeah, Good one.

[Nick Kroll]

Lovely auto tune. I find it easier to sing in character than I do as myself. Do you guys know what I'm saying?

[Dana Carvey]

Yes.

[David Spade]

I didn't know it was you. When I clicked on it, I was like, I don't know if this is him and it was you.

[Dana Carvey]

I stay up too late.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

I can only sing like Neil Young.

[David Spade]

Do you think you'll sing at the fee at the wedding or whatever?

[Nick Kroll]

Will you sing at Neil Young's funeral? Yeah, that's what I was getting at.

[Dana Carvey]

Hey. Hey. My, my.

[David Spade]

No, you just say, hey, hey. Bye. Bye. And then you walk away. Hey, man.

[Dana Carvey]

Daryl Hannah and Neil Young sitting in a tree. There's. They're looking at this news going copycats.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. Do you think that they're. Do you think that he's bringing her something that. Like a. A morning ambrosia and finding out that Taylor and Travis are engaged?

[David Spade]

Are they not engaged?

[Nick Kroll]

Who? Hannah and.

[Dana Carvey]

No, they're married, I believe.

[David Spade]

Oh, they are.

[Nick Kroll]

And they. Do you think they're up in a tree?

[David Spade]

So how much are they going to chat about it today?

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, they have houses sort of around the continent, so they take. They take Neil's motorhome and they just drive. Let's. Let's go to. And they drive across the country.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. And then she's. But she's got to get into a water tank before too long. Right? Or.

[Dana Carvey]

Because it's black.

[David Spade]

That's not.

[Dana Carvey]

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

[David Spade]

You know what? I don't know for sure.

[Dana Carvey]

Our records. I knew immediately what you were going for.

[David Spade]

I like Splash.

[Dana Carvey]

She was great in that movie with.

[David Spade]

What a great movie.

[Dana Carvey]

Sakes. Tommy Hanks killed it in that one.

[David Spade]

Have you seen PTA's new movie? Because Maya is in Big Mouth.

[Nick Kroll]

Yes. I love the. Thank you for connecting the dots for me. I have not. I've seen the trailer. I can't wait.

[Dana Carvey]

What movie?

[David Spade]

What is the name of it?

[Nick Kroll]

Paul Thomas Anderson's movie. It's like Don't Stop.

[David Spade]

Oh, yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

It's called, like Never Not Moving. I can't. I can't remember.

[Dana Carvey]

Leonardo decapitated. Is DiCaprio is in that.

[David Spade]

Right. He always gets everybody cool in it, whoever he wants.

[Nick Kroll]

Yep.

[David Spade]

And then it's.

[Nick Kroll]

And he's got. Who else is in that? Maya. Maya's in Big Mouth. Maya plays my mom and Big Mouth and also the Hormone Monstrous and a lot of other characters. And is. Has won now like four or five Emmys for that. Yeah, yeah.

[David Spade]

What about. What about your.

[Dana Carvey]

She's an Emmy magnet. That one.

[Nick Kroll]

She will. And ironically, that Big Mouth playing that Connie character was her first Emmy, which is crazy.

[David Spade]

Before snl.

[Nick Kroll]

Before winning for snl. No, Kamala.

[Dana Carvey]

Her. Kamala as that we went on. By the end, it was like, just spectacular.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, it's per. It's.

[David Spade]

She's a score machine.

[Nick Kroll]

She is. She's a critical critic. Proof home run hitter, non stop funny. Too bad. Too bad. PTA can't direct his way out of a cardboard box.

[David Spade]

He couldn't direct a colony of ants to a melting Hershey bar.

[Nick Kroll]

He couldn't direct an old lady out of traffic.

[Dana Carvey]

Jesus Christ. He couldn't direct a cop who's directing traffic to a place where there's even more traffic. All right. He couldn't direct himself out of a paper bag if someone put him in one and need the directions to get out of it. I liked it.

[David Spade]

I love this.

[Nick Kroll]

I loved every minute of it. Love.

[Dana Carvey]

Genius. I wanted to just say this because this is the final season of Big Mouth and it's out. Out now. And it's like everything else. You got big with the. The pr people forget.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

It's sort of never been anything done like it Goddamn right funny. Let's do a cartoon about kids going through puberty. Oh, okay. We'll make it G. No, let's do. Let's go right at it. Right at it. And so was there any. Did the. Like when you pitched it to Netflix or how did it come about and when they knew that you were going to go adult with it? And yet it's a. It's sort of. It's charming on a kid level too, in a way, but go ahead.

[Nick Kroll]

Thank you. Well, I love that. Kids love it. Well, what was. We made it for ourselves. It was not originally. We didn't think of it as something that, like, weirdly that kids would. We're really making it right for our people to make us laugh and our friends laugh. And it was it. And they really let us go. I'll say what I. You were talking about streaming and how people watch stuff. What I will say is we got in making Netflix at a big mouth at Netflix, at a very specific moment in time. We were like the 33rd show that they made or something like that. And they didn't have a lot and they were really trying to make their name and they really let us do anything we wanted and constantly encouraged us to push because they were in a moment where they were like, we need to make waves and we are in this new form and format, so just go nuts. They never stopped us from doing anything. I mean, a few jokes that we Were like, fair enough. Like truly disgusting things.

[Dana Carvey]

I was going to ask you if there were things where someone or even you guys said maybe that's too much.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, we definitely had like that. You know, there, there are different stages when you're making an animation where you've got like your radio play, you're hearing it then eventually an animatic, like where it's a black and white sort of rough cut of what it's look like. And then the color. So sometimes you don't know until color when like a hormone monster is pulling a tiny thermometer out of a sick little dick and there a little bit of blood spurts out of the sick little hormone monsters dick.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, that.

[Nick Kroll]

When. When you see that, you agree with Netflix that maybe that is a little too much.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

For air.

[David Spade]

But was. Was Ted's around us in the room when you pitched his filth?

[Nick Kroll]

He was not in that room, but he was very aware and very. And he was at the season eight finale, he came and was sitting right behind me and it was like hearing him laugh like a. That's the thing with Ted. When you're. When we were pitching the show, Ted really is like a comedy fan. Like, he loves it.

[Dana Carvey]

Super fan.

[Nick Kroll]

And so when he. So when you like when we were like, this is what we want to do, he was like, all in. And there was nothing else. There were no other streamers. So like we really got to come out, got to do whatever we want. And there was so other little competition that we really were able to make a splash similar to Daryl Hannah eating a. You know what else I think about from splash is her eating the lobster with the shell on. That's the other thing that always sticks with me when I think about splash.

[David Spade]

Why would she eat another sea animal?

[Nick Kroll]

That's what's up about the movie.

[David Spade]

Really up.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah. And that was Ron Howard. Right. Howard went in there with his happy day vibes.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

Oh, Mr. And ruined the mermaid.

[Nick Kroll]

Mr. Smiles. And meanwhile, you never even seen the Fonz dick once on that show.

[David Spade]

Right. Hey, Darrow, shove that lobster in your.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, put it in just for one take.

[David Spade]

Let's see if it works. We won't even use it.

[Nick Kroll]

Look at Henry Winkler. I got him to put one of the lobster claws up his butt. The other one's clipped onto the front of his balls. He's still saying a tested happy days.

[Dana Carvey]

Were not so happy. All right, so enough with the jingles, all right, Gary Marshall, Go do some other fucking show.

[Nick Kroll]

Go make another show. And maybe even I Did a short. A Funny or Die sketch. I don't want to name drop. I don't want to name drop, but I did a Funny or Die sketch with Penny Marshall and it was.

[Dana Carvey]

I was going to do Laverne and Shirley next, because that was where we're going.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, please.

[Dana Carvey]

But I want to hear your story. You did a thing with Penny Marshall.

[Nick Kroll]

I'm doing a thing. A Funny or Die sketch with Penny Marshall. And we're in a garage in Larchmont, Hancock park in holding, and she's just still smoking cigarettes in a. In a closed garage. And I fucking loved it. What. And what would that sound like, Dana?

[Dana Carvey]

I don't know. Penny Marshall. Action. Oh, I don't know what we should do. I'm doing Gary Shandling. Sorry. God rest both their souls.

[Nick Kroll]

Rest in.

[Dana Carvey]

Rest in the fifth dimension. But anyway, whatever, you know, what were we doing? Oh, splash. Eating the thing. Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

Anyway, so back to big mouth and let's go back quickly. I'm just going to keep this moving around. Let's go back to adults. It's on adults. It's on fx. But then it goes to Hulu, where everybody's watching it is.

[David Spade]

Oh, really? It goes. 1. I didn't know they had a kind of a. Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

FX to Hulu. So you watch and. And that really, I will say so we have these young kids in the show. It really required social media to, like, embrace it to watch. And. And it really did work on social media. Like the, like, kids on TikTok and Instagram, all those people were, like, watching it. But it's. What's hard is it's not clear that they're watching the entire show, if not just watching clips and sharing the relationships that are sort of happening. And then the actors who are playing them, their social media followings and then like, communicating about the show integrated with the people playing it. It's not like, you know, when we were. When you. When we were all making, you know, like, Green Acres or. Or, you know, the Andy. Andy Griffith Show. Like when the three of us met doing Andy Griffith and Don Knotts sort of welcomed us in and, well, when.

[Dana Carvey]

Adam west invited us to do the Batman episode with. With Catwoman, that was, you know, how it goes. Getting super into something that can lead to watching it, listening to it, reading about it, maybe even picking up something to go with it. That's where prime comes in.

[David Spade]

Do you know that? But when I used to. When I think we were doing cone heads and. Oh, my God, thanks. A couple people remember.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

When we're doing Coneheads, the movie. Of course.

[Dana Carvey]

Wait a minute. I just want to make an observation. Their names were Coned. And didn't you feel like their heads were shaped like cones in a way?

[David Spade]

I went halfway through. I go, wait, is this on purpose?

[Dana Carvey]

I'm connecting to that. You know what I mean?

[David Spade]

Connie Conehead was the daughter. Just so you know, also. Oh, yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

Dan, were you in. Sorry, you're in Coneheads, David.

[David Spade]

Yeah, yeah. I'm pushing it. That's why I'm on the podcast.

[Nick Kroll]

Well, you're pushing it.

[Dana Carvey]

They couldn't. They couldn't afford me, Nick. They couldn't afford.

[Nick Kroll]

Couldn't get. They couldn't get you, so they got spayed.

[David Spade]

You know, it's funny. I was teamed up with Michael McKean and he is our next guest. But on. On the show. But Michael McKean was great. They have a Spinal Tap 2 coming out.

[Nick Kroll]

Yes.

[David Spade]

And so many people from SNL. This is a side note. I. I don't think Dana was. But I would say it was like Sandler Farley played Connie Conan's boyfriend. There was Ackroyd, Jane Curtin, obviously Lorraine Newman. And then random like Sinbad, Phil Hartman, Ellen Degener. There was so many people that had part Conan still still managed to bomb. But the point was, Dan Akroid said at one point, what about me and you doing Andy Griffith show as a movie? You can be Barney, I'd be Andy. And I was like, that's such a funny idea.

[Dana Carvey]

You. I could see you doing that. Yeah.

[David Spade]

Can you do Barney 5?

[Nick Kroll]

Can you do it? Yeah, there you go.

[Dana Carvey]

An.

[David Spade]

I keep doing it. An.

[Dana Carvey]

How great was Don Knotts?

[David Spade]

He is so funny.

[Dana Carvey]

Andy Griffith Show. I mean, come on.

[David Spade]

And Mr. Furley, he was.

[Nick Kroll]

I really know him. I have to be honest. I know him more as Mr. Furley than I do. Like, I know as a. As. Oh, my God. Horny dork. The ultimate horny dork.

[David Spade]

But what about the guy before.

[Dana Carvey]

I'm the old guy that goes.

[Nick Kroll]

And his wife always wanted to him Mr. Yeah, Roper. Yeah, Mr. Roper and his wife was always horny in Amumu. And Roper just like, like now looking back, like, oh, just like Closeted Mary. Like not I'm. But I remember seeing the Graduate and being like, what the, like it was one of the first times that I was like the is Mr. Roper doing in the Graduate?

[David Spade]

Oh yeah, yeah, right. What was he doing there?

[Nick Kroll]

He was, I think, kind of rent. Yeah, right. He's sort of the landlord.

[Dana Carvey]

He's the rent guy. When Dustin Hoffman he's the landlord of everyone in the movie to get the, the wife.

[Nick Kroll]

Get the wife.

[Dana Carvey]

But I sort of liked another brilliant movie that really holds up.

[David Spade]

When I'm a kid and horny. I'm annoyed that Mr. Roper. I'm like, dude, she's throwing you vibes.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, get out of here.

[David Spade]

Like I'm horny. Why someone do something.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. And Mr. Roper shows up to collect the rent. Now you're blue balled. You can't even finish.

[David Spade]

I finish when Roper walks in.

[Nick Kroll]

You shoot ropes. Jesus, what does this mean? Who is shooting ropes to Mr. Ro.

[David Spade]

What is that a line from your perverted show?

[Dana Carvey]

That kind of ropes of blood that would have been on Big Mouth or something.

[David Spade]

Yeah, that's sick show.

[Nick Kroll]

That's a. I think you do it for sick comedy.

[David Spade]

Yeah, you do it for adults. And then kids go, oh, look what we found. This show is funny. As they like that. I saw Life of Brian as a kid. I'm like, yeah, oh, this is for adult. I like it.

[Nick Kroll]

That was what. And I mean that's the, we didn't quite realize with Big Mouth that that was going to be like, you know, south park for a bunch of people is like the thing you sneak away to watch or Life of Brian. What was the thing in Life of Brian that you remember feeling like just.

[David Spade]

That it was a little dirtier and I snuck in and then I was like, oh, there's fucking boobs in here. And a lot of different stuff and just some of the jokes I didn't get later. But it was like you feel like you're seeing something you shouldn't. Like big.

[Nick Kroll]

Totally.

[Dana Carvey]

I saw Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffman when I was like 13 that, that I, I, I wish I'd not seen it.

[David Spade]

I don't even know what it is really.

[Dana Carvey]

Star Dogs. Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

I watched Hot Dog the movie. I had an older brother showed me Hot Dog the movie when I was like 6 or 7 and was like.

[David Spade]

And I was like, my uncle showed.

[Dana Carvey]

Me that Was an R rated cartoon or what?

[Nick Kroll]

No R rate. It was an R rated, like, ski movie. It was that kind of.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay. One of those ski movies.

[David Spade]

Yeah. Hot Dog was a big deal. That was fun.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. Like, I was a girl getting out of a hot tub and you can see her boots.

[David Spade]

And every four minutes there was some girl in a tight teeth. There was no comedy at all. It's just like, wait for boobs. Wait.

[Dana Carvey]

Well, you know, on my generation, we had a little thing I'd like to call Raquel Welch.

[David Spade]

What a killer.

[Dana Carvey]

What do you got?

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[David Spade]

Stunning.

[Dana Carvey]

When you were like 16, you know who was the sex symbol of the day?

[David Spade]

Farah.

[Dana Carvey]

Man or woman? I, you know.

[Nick Kroll]

Sure, sure. Thank you. Thank you for.

[David Spade]

Thank you, Dana.

[Nick Kroll]

For me, it was.

[David Spade]

Kelsey.

[Nick Kroll]

Trey was Travis. Yeah, it was Travis. Kelsey, 16. He was 1 years old.

[David Spade]

I had been earlier than.

[Nick Kroll]

For me, when I was like 13. Like, there's a period of time where I'm watching you guys on Saturday Night Live and like, Cindy Crawford is breaking. And that was sort of like the two things that, like, were my sexual awakening were like Cindy Crawford in a Pepsi commercial and Dana Carvey doing Ross Perot.

[David Spade]

I know.

[Dana Carvey]

And I could do Ross Perot having sex for you.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah, please.

[Dana Carvey]

Can I finish? Can I finish one time? Can I finish? Can't let me finish. I can't finish. Can I finish right now?

[David Spade]

Dude, this episode was chock full of shit.

[Dana Carvey]

That was. That was something he would just say when the one, you know, Larry King would interrupt him. But I made it into a sexual.

[Nick Kroll]

Did you. Can you. Did you do ever. Do you do Larry King? Did you ever. Did you do Larry King?

[Dana Carvey]

Roanoke, Virginia. Yeah. After a while, the town sounded like illnesses, creeping rash. Minnesota, you're on with Ross. Can I finish one time? Larry, you're gonna interrupt me? No, they were great.

[Nick Kroll]

Did you guys ever do that Larry King show that his like, Larry King now produced by like Russian television? Did you guys ever.

[Dana Carvey]

I. I was. I was invited and I was gonna go on it. He passed away. I was gonna. Because I. I just kind of had a lot of fondness for him.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

But I went on his regular show and he was. He would come. You would show up before him. He'd come in like two minutes before air. They put the air piece in because he didn't. He wanted to be just in the moment, you know, and then he just starts asking questions. He was very skilled.

[David Spade]

I think I went on once with Norm, but I also think that when he walked in, he goes, who are these guys, McDonald's, David Spade. What do they do? All right, I'll just make up some shit. Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

We're on the air. We're live. Anya. So you're doing the show.

[David Spade]

You are killing it in. Whatever you are.

[Dana Carvey]

Ho. Fungus, Missouri. You're on with no McDonald's Look Out Mountain. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead.

[David Spade]

Anything else for this guy? We've covered it all. We've covered. Really? We did cover adults. We did cover Big Mouth.

[Dana Carvey]

Big Mouth Revolutionary Special.

[Nick Kroll]

I got adults. We got. Let's see. Let's think about some other stuff that I can promote.

[David Spade]

We've promoted saying enough.

[Dana Carvey]

History of the World, Part one is.

[Nick Kroll]

History of the World. Part two is out. History of the world, Part one also out. Somewhere.

[Dana Carvey]

They're out somewhere.

[Nick Kroll]

The Producers. I have no involvement, but the original movie. The Producers. Let's promote that Mel Brooks. That's probably my favorite first Mel Brooks movie. Coneheads we talked about. Let's promote cone heads coming out on LaserDisc.

[Dana Carvey]

Splash, splash on Amazon for on Apple TV.

[Nick Kroll]

Let's talk. What about Ackroyd? Ackroyd's one of his alien shows. Let's promote that. Let's get the word out.

[David Spade]

Fair enough.

[Nick Kroll]

Skull vodka.

[David Spade]

Skull vodka.

[Nick Kroll]

Skull vodka. Let's get the word.

[Dana Carvey]

You know, the skull vodka is the best thing you can get. You know, that comes up.

[David Spade]

Chiefs, new season.

[Nick Kroll]

The Chiefs. Travis Kelsey's football team. The Chiefs.

[David Spade]

Taylor's got a new album coming.

[Nick Kroll]

Taylor's got a new album coming out. Of course. Happy Days. Available wherever you get your.

[Dana Carvey]

Hey. Yeah, but I'm just gonna say it, guys. I don't. I'm not us, but I'm personal friends with Taylor and Travis, so I just want to be sincere for a second and say please. Right on. Guys. You're a great match and I wish you all the best.

[Nick Kroll]

I do, too. I think I'm excited for them. You heard it here first? Two, three days after it's breaking.

[David Spade]

Yep. Ever since I got that news, I feel like I've been off what I'm thinking when I heard that news. Now I feel like I fell out of the podcast. I've just been thinking about that.

[Nick Kroll]

You felt in the pocket to me, David, so.

[Dana Carvey]

But honestly, if this is a movie, because we've all seen a stars born in the different incarnations. So what happens is he's a football player. He's going to be in the hall of Fame. Blows out in a key. He's not going to play too much longer.

[Nick Kroll]

Right.

[Dana Carvey]

And then he's at home like, hey, or play some ping pong. And she's in Malaysia playing the country. They built a stadium. So she's doing a residency playing the entire country.

[David Spade]

A country Residency.

[Dana Carvey]

He wants five babies. She wants to tour on five continents.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

So it's kind of like two stars. They're gonna have to get some Mr. Premarital Therapy, I think.

[David Spade]

No.

[Nick Kroll]

Yeah. It's like what would happen if they had been the small town versions of themselves? Eight or nine years in, there's going to be some issues.

[David Spade]

But they figure out do the Bodyguard. By the way, that's she'd be good for the remake.

[Nick Kroll]

I mean, Travis could play her body.

[David Spade]

I know.

[Dana Carvey]

Nick Kroll's been our guest today. It was delightful. We did.

[David Spade]

Thank you. Nick did it all.

[Dana Carvey]

28 minutes of trading Arnold impressions. That was a good one.

[Nick Kroll]

Can I tell you how, just quickly, how weird it is to try to do Arnold with you, David?

[David Spade]

I jumped in there.

[Dana Carvey]

James is great. Everyone has an Arnold. The code is broken. No one's worried about accuracy.

[David Spade]

It's too fun. You gotta jump in.

[Nick Kroll]

It was so fun.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

It's just. I love seeing you guys. I love do. I love your comedy. I love doing your podcast. Thanks for having me.

[David Spade]

Thanks for coming back.

[Dana Carvey]

We're glad you're well. Good luck with your next show. I'm wondering if you're gonna direct a movie or do another live streaming show or whatever.

[Nick Kroll]

I'm doing Coneheads too. I'm directing Coneheads too. I'm writing it right now.

[Dana Carvey]

Writing and directing Coneheads 2.

[David Spade]

Okay.

[Dana Carvey]

I. I have a rough draft of ConEd's 3, so it'd be nice if I could see 2.

[Nick Kroll]

I will show you. I will send it to you. As soon as we're done with a first cut, I'll send it to you. Okay.

[Dana Carvey]

Okay. All right.

[David Spade]

I'm gonna put the top down.

[Dana Carvey]

I'm doing one set in Alaska called the Snow Cone Kids. I'm going to Alaska this week for a gig. There we go.

[David Spade]

I processed that last second promo.

[Nick Kroll]

Did you know, by the way, get drowned or. No. Was. Did you know there was like worry that there was going to be flooding? Did I know for real?

[David Spade]

Oh, Juno, the city.

[Nick Kroll]

Yes.

[David Spade]

I don't know. I know I'm going to Palmer. It's outside.

[Nick Kroll]

Juneau. The drunk guy is doing ill informed.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Nick Kroll]

Topical bit, you know, Juno. Juno's under water.

[David Spade]

Did you know that?

[Dana Carvey]

Where won't you go to do a stand up set?

[David Spade]

Dude, I'm going.

[Dana Carvey]

It's gonna be fun.

[David Spade]

My show's in the Day. I have to do an hour.

[Dana Carvey]

It's not, you know.

[David Spade]

Still going on in the background.

[Dana Carvey]

Did you know that the movie Juno.

[David Spade]

Was Ask Me was filmed in Juneau?

[Dana Carvey]

Did you ask me what I'm gonna do today? I'll answer, what are you gonna do?

[Nick Kroll]

What are you gonna do today?

[Dana Carvey]

Whatever I want.

[Nick Kroll]

God.

[David Spade]

God. There we go. This has been chock full of that movie impression.

[Nick Kroll]

I'm leaving. All right, thanks, guys.

[David Spade]

Okay, well, that was Nick. He's out now, but. God, always a crack up, man. I. I love that. I like when someone comes on, they want to screw off. They're not so locked into the questions. It's just like, let's. Let's go off on so many tangents, we don't even know what we're talking about.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah, that was comedy ping pong. And it was just fun. It was, you know, we all got into this Arnold fest and they give him point. Normally it's like, okay, one minute, this is enough. But I love that he. Nope, he just kept going. And then you chimed in. And then I went. And I don't know how long we went, but that might be kind of close to a record for one riff on one impression between three people on our podcast.

[David Spade]

Yeah. It's fun to. Because I can't remember everything because it goes so fast, but I just remember we keep. It was. He sort of gives the green light to. Don't worry about. We're talking about. Let's go off on any tangent we want just to crack up.

[Dana Carvey]

And, you know, we've done things like that a lot too, where we were doing Senator John Kennedy once for like 10 minutes.

[David Spade]

Yeah.

[Dana Carvey]

So it is. It is very much like what comedians do in real life, for sure.

[David Spade]

It's like a green room talk.

[Dana Carvey]

Yeah. Get into a rhythm and then. And then someone sort of tops you or does something to change a little bit and then it makes you come back and then it's so. That was really. That was really fun. You kind of gets insane.

[David Spade]

Yeah. Yeah, you. Well, we want to thank Nick Kroll and obviously you can see him. All we talked about, there's big mouth, there's all the stuff.

[Dana Carvey]

So adults on FX and Hulu. That's it.
