David Spade
God damn it.
Dana Carvey
Look, I love bananas, by the way.
David Spade
Banana Gate was a big hit last week, but I have better banana. I took pictures of my banana. You know what? I'll send them in. You know what? I'll send them in. So, Heather, be ready.
Dana Carvey
Guess what?
David Spade
I'll do it right after. But it's like new nickname.
Dana Carvey
New nickname for you. Potassium Boy. Potassium Boy. How are you today?
David Spade
I hope I get closer with Banana Boy.
Dana Carvey
Banana Boy. All right. Potassium Peak.
David Spade
God damn.
Dana Carvey
Potassium. Well, because they're full of potassium.
David Spade
Yeah, I know, I know. Okay. That is not even why I eat them.
Dana Carvey
Fun fact alert. Stallone. When he wanted to seem dumber as Rocky, he wouldn't eat any bananas. And the lack of potassium would kind of lower his iq. Fun fact. But at first he's like, yo, Adrian, how you doing? Then no bananas for a month. Yo, Israel, no bananas for two years. Hey, wait a minute.
David Spade
Then he just eat rocks.
Dana Carvey
Can we just say something quickly about Sylvester Stallone? The guy's a genius. He's brilliant. So anyway, go ahead, will you?
David Spade
Should we show where the movie Staying Alive, John Travolta walks out, where he directs it, or where he's beginning? It's Travolta, it's this. It's the sequel, Stay in Love. And he's in the crowd in New York. You know the same thing.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
He doesn't walk like this, though.
Dana Carvey
It's about potassium.
David Spade
He walks like this.
Dana Carvey
He walks. He walks like John Travolta. He walks like a dancer.
David Spade
Yeah, he walks like a dancer. And in the crowd in New York, he bumps into a dude and you turn around and it's Stallone, who was the director.
Dana Carvey
He's doing a Hitchcock, if you get the reference.
David Spade
Yeah.
Dana Carvey
And then they say he's also.
David Spade
He looks more like he was in Cobra.
Dana Carvey
Cobra. Well, he's always jacked. They had a Behind the scenes of BTS I saw, I think on MTV years ago. And Travolt in between takes, he's like, no, I'm going down the street like this and I'm bouncing around. And then slot hits me and I turn. I don't see his face till the camera comes around. So I think you should change the shot. Stallone said, you do it. You do. I do what I do. Rub a chicken. Capiche?
David Spade
You know what this movie needs?
Dana Carvey
More Easter eggs. I love a good Easter egg. Yeah. Easter eggs equals. We did it in. We did it in. Know, more Easter eggs makes for more box office. So I. Yeah, Airplane.
David Spade
Taylor Swift has a lot of Easter eggs in her videos. We have to figure it out later, but that one's more obvious. But, you know, I will say we're going to. I have a banana that looks like a. Maybe an Ewok face, and I have a banana picture that looks like something else funny. I'm going to put them in and then we'll just pop them in while we talk.
Dana Carvey
Okay, I have a question now.
David Spade
Yeah, go ahead.
Dana Carvey
In the gross meter, when you're going to peel a fruit, and a lot of people don't know that an avocado is a piece of fruit. If you open up that avocado and you see dark brown spots, do you kind of. Or a banana looks good on the outside. Mushy and brown. Which one's more grotesque? Send us your letters.
David Spade
You know, I get this question a lot, Dana. I would say, yeah, you get this avocado, I'll cut out the black. Black, I don't care. And a banana. I almost don't care about anything.
Dana Carvey
If I. I really like avocados and if I get one that's like, not quite there, it. Yeah, I don't. It's not good. I. It goes right in the trash. And I talked to Stallone about that because. Yeah, if you open the avocado and it's got a lot of brown spots, you gotta chuck it. Rub a chicken. Capiche?
David Spade
Some of the old BTS's from Rocky are heat, eat, crack open 12 avocados and then try to slam them down. And they want eggs. Yeah. They wound up with eggs. Yeah.
Dana Carvey
Potassium Pete. Yeah, I gotta work with every fruit. I used to do a lot better. I gotta work on. I gotta get warmed up with these impressions. People don't send in your letters. But my Travolta was like this, you know, very much.
David Spade
Dana, this is. This is a good time to bring up how on earth did we win an award last night with this garbage.
Dana Carvey
Based on this last three and a half minutes is what. So anyway, we have an announcement to make. I'll let Potassium Pete and or AKA David Spade. What happened, David? To our podcast. What happened?
David Spade
Well, apparently there's an I Heart award for. They have an award ceremony every year, I think, in Austin, Texas. Not to be confused with ostentatious. They have an award for every or a lot of types of podcasts. And we were up for which I don't think for sure. I knew. Comedy podcast of the year. They have a lot of specific categories.
Dana Carvey
Yes, and newscaster, serious news, political comedy, music, lifestyle, whatever.
David Spade
Just.
Dana Carvey
Yeah, but only one.
David Spade
We could name those.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
So we were up against some good competition. I think Nikki Glazer, I think Rogan, maybe call her Daddy is a Rogan the goat. Anyway, we won and it's very exciting and we just heard that last night and shockingly. No, not that shockingly. We do a good job, I think. But all those are good. So it's just sort of the way it is. But I'll take it. I'll take whatever the situation is. I'll take it.
Dana Carvey
Well, first of all, it's very old school because you would normally auto auto audio text me. And I actually it was like 11:00 at night. Bum, bum, bum, knock at the door and they said, a telegram for Mr. David Spade. So I'm opening the telegram from you last night. Look, radio comedy podcast of the year. Stop. You and David Spade. Congratulations. Stop.
David Spade
Stop.
Dana Carvey
I'm telling you, this is the greatest podcast anyone's ever seen. Stop. You are the winner and champion. Tonight you're on top of the world. Tomorrow you may be nowhere. Stop. And finally I stop.
David Spade
And then I say, so now how do I send this? Do I pay you? Stop. And now I'm like, that wasn't supposed to be part of it.
Dana Carvey
Well, I just, I love that old fashioned 1920s thing. Telegram for Mr. Danna Garney from Mr. Danna David Hinas Spade, also known as Potassium Pete. Dang, I'm working that one. But anyway, let's go back to the winning look. It's always feels good. We, you know, it is kind of a small deal. That's al actually kind of a big deal because they don't say you won comedy podcast. They add of the year, which gives it so much gravitas. It sounds so. And the winner of 2024 a podcast of year is fly on the wall. And that's why it seems so big of the year.
David Spade
Well, it's funny. At the Oscars they don't say the the best movie of the year. They just say best movie. Right?
Dana Carvey
I think so.
David Spade
And look, we have a comparing it to the Oscars.
Dana Carvey
We. Sorry, Conan, you. You killed it. You were great at the Oscars.
David Spade
Oh boy. Oh, happy winners are disgustingly gross in a turn off.
Dana Carvey
And then all of them were fans of all the people who didn't even get nominated. Shane Gillis, farewell.
David Spade
We're extra giddy today. Which is kind of gross.
Dana Carvey
No. Are we extra giddy? We're not taking it that seriously, are we?
David Spade
We're drinking the Kool Aid. It's so sickening.
Dana Carvey
There's nothing funnier than a bad winner and we probably never win again.
David Spade
Oh, we're. We're sickening.
Dana Carvey
Sorry, Jo Gun.
David Spade
I will say shout out to Bowen Yang because Bowen Yang and his won the best podcast of the whole year of everybody.
Dana Carvey
Of just any podcast of all categories. That's podcast. Damn.
David Spade
Yeah, he's a. We work together friend of the show.
Dana Carvey
I worked with him over 10 weeks. A great guy. He's Fifi Fo fum. I smell an Emmy nomination. I think he's gotten four in a row.
David Spade
Amination.
Dana Carvey
This is one I would tease my friend John Lovetz. Fee 5 fo f. Whoops. Somebody got a nomination.
David Spade
But it's an N and an M. It's an exact fitting perfectly.
Dana Carvey
Are we really giddy, Greg, or we just punchy?
David Spade
We're sick.
Dana Carvey
I'm just punchy.
David Spade
You're punchy from your long gig you did on the weekend. Right. And your big coffee cup you're trying to lift.
Dana Carvey
God dang, look at that. Listen, it's not a big cup.
David Spade
Doesn't it look big?
Dana Carvey
It does look giant in the frame. But where does it look? Back here. David, you don't know about ratio or photography. Look, look.
David Spade
I don't.
Dana Carvey
And then I take a sip and it's up.
David Spade
How do you have a small cup now?
Dana Carvey
I don't know. But here, look. This spreads around. We have a lot of. Look, everybody. All our peers are great. Of course, we're joking around. We're very lucky to get it and it's an honor. But it's all over the world. Like, our podcast is in Thailand and all over the world, and we have fans. Well, every podcast is all over the world. So there's a gentleman in Japan who I've done before, and he's. He's very nice, but he lives. He's a fan from Japan. He lives in a very active seismic area of Japan.
David Spade
A lot of earthquakes over there, I heard.
Dana Carvey
And he got a telegram too. After you telegram me. I telegrammed him. And then he's reading it, and then an earthquake hits, you know.
David Spade
Whoa. That was more like a tremor. I feel. Oh. Uhoh. It's starting again. Jesus.
Dana Carvey
And then it goes back to telegram. Can we do that?
David Spade
He's not even. Well, we've done it a hundred times. I think we can. We can do it. We're gonna like all balance. Don't get our award taken away immediately. Here's a wait that we're still talking about. The award is great. Okay, what does red Redneck you say about it?
Dana Carvey
This is a redneck and gets an earthquake down in Mississippi season.
David Spade
Okay.
Dana Carvey
I can't believe Dan and Garney and David Spudler got the damn best comedy podcast year. That's good news, man. That's good news. He's talking to a friend, and then all of a sudden. What the model Funk. They don't get earthquakes in Mississippi.
David Spade
I like that version. Okay, that's.
Dana Carvey
I could do every nationality, but there's something about a Japanese gentleman in an earthquake. So something about it.
David Spade
I like the people that are listening, like, going, you're Please. Still not talking about this award. Yes, we are.
Dana Carvey
Yes, we're. We're putting bits in between that we.
David Spade
You know, we're screaming rooftops.
Dana Carvey
Are we too serious about this? Are we giddy about it? Look, we won the I Heart Coming.
David Spade
Just to reiterate.
Dana Carvey
Podcast a year. No one thought we could win it, and we won it. I don't care what anybody says. Sorry. I got.
David Spade
I like when the, like, best actor or actress will. Will win the award at the Oscars. And they go. And then toward the end of their speech, they go, ed. To my other fellow nominees. You're so good. Oh, my God. You're not the best, but you're so good. You're so close.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
And there's always next year. And you're. You really do a good job. You're not this. But you're.
Dana Carvey
And I'm not.
David Spade
That's really good for you.
Dana Carvey
I'll be honest. Okay, I'm gonna make a confession. I'd only seen Dune 2. I watched the Oscars because Conan was so great, but I didn't know. And. And I. It was sort of weird when someone's greatest moment superstar and it's like, Barbara Fleek. Whoa. Is now quitting. Hi, my name's Barbara Fleet. I mean, I didn't know. I'm Ed Klocnik and I am the cinematographer. I just didn't know anybody, man. And the names were right.
David Spade
Makes you feel either old or just out of it. Where the only one I saw was a Snora.
Dana Carvey
Whoa, whoa.
David Spade
Hollywood minute Dig now Anora.
Dana Carvey
I haven't seen it.
David Spade
Take me three times to get through it. Because the first half hour is like sex and a strip club and all sounds great. But I kept going. If this is up for best movie, like, where are we going with this? Where are we going? I think it had too much of a Runway to get into it. It was just a long ramp up. And then it got more interesting. Second half, of course. But best move of the year. I don't know. I thought Dune 2 is pretty cool. And I'm not really all over those type of movies. I thought it was very well done.
Dana Carvey
It was brilliant. And I'll tell you what. Look, here's the deal. You know, it's no. 1.
David Spade
Here's the deal.
Dana Carvey
Here's the. I'm not kidding around. Come on.
David Spade
There you go.
Dana Carvey
I gotta. Won an Oscar faster than anyone's ever won an Oscar alive. The winner goes to Joe Biden.
David Spade
So Oscar Meyer had a wiener.
Dana Carvey
Oscar. Meyer had a wiener dog. The mustard. Mustard and a good pickles on the dog of the wiener. Thank you, Joe. No, in not profound. Look, we have live streaming. We have a billion movies and it just dilutes the process. It's not anyone's fault. In my day in the 70s, you would have movie stars that you would never see anywhere except the Oscars. Nicholson, John Wayne would be there. Bert Lancaster, Carrie, Grant Bradford. Everybody had seen the movie. Everyone had seen the Godfather, you know, Alien or whatever, Liz Taylor. So it's just a different kind of situation.
David Spade
And yeah, they're not all on Snapchat.
Dana Carvey
Christ sakes. You know, you don't get to see.
David Spade
Robert Redford doing tickets talks.
Dana Carvey
What is this? The winner. What 2100 people saw the people the best picture of the year curfew.
David Spade
I will tell you this. This might be one of our stories. But Anora. I'm not making fun of it. It's pretty good.
Dana Carvey
Ignora. Was that your pun? Ignora.
David Spade
Ignore is better that I said a Sonora.
Dana Carvey
Oh, Ignora. I didn't see it.
David Spade
Ignora. That's hot.
Dana Carvey
I can't believe I topped. You're the king of that stuff.
David Spade
Yeah, I like that one better already, huh? Oh, we do have a young lady in Bus Boys that I flirt with in the movie that was. Had a part in Ignora. And we can make fun of a Nora because it won. So who cares? But she was great in. She. There's not many people in Anora. If you've seen it, there's. It's a small movie, small cast, not that many locations. That's why it was $6 million movie. But the girl that plays the competitive dancer in her club with the red hair is in Busboys. That's interesting, isn't it?
Dana Carvey
That's interesting. You know, she's good. I like. I like that. A $6 million movie that's just real and cool and I haven't seen it can win the Oscar. I mean, back in the day you'd have these 300 million like the Titanic. When it's going down, by the way. I don't know why. When it was going down and Rose and Jack DiCaprio and Heather. Thanks, woman.
David Spade
Thanks for clearing that up. Kate Winslet.
Dana Carvey
Kate. So they as their ships going down the billion dollar movie. One of the greatest scenes in the history of film. When they ride the ship, they say before that for an hour, they call each other every second by their name. Rose. Rose. This way. Rose. Jack. Where? This way. Come down here. Rose. Rose. Jack. Jack. Rose. You think by two hours into the movie, they would know each other's names. I don't say David every time I talk to you.
David Spade
Now, you know what happens when you write a movie. And this is true.
Dana Carvey
This is real inside baseball.
David Spade
You, you, you. You go away from a scene. You write it for a couple days. You go to the next scene, and you're like, hey, hey, Rose, can we. You forget. And then you realize you almost start every scene with someone saying the other one's name because you don't see it in a row. And then when you see it cut together, you're like, holy shit. No one says, like, when I'm with you, I barely call you Dana. It's just. You know what? We just talk. And. And in movies, you got to be careful. You say someone's name sometimes too much.
Dana Carvey
Yeah, that's the point. And also, screenwriters tip from a sometimes actor. I don't like when I read a script and there's just. My character has so many exclamation points. It's like, first thing I do is rid of every exclamation point. Hello, exclamation point. How's it going?
David Spade
Explanation point where you yell in all caps. Everything is all caps. And you're like, yeah, all right, let's Kanye this script down a bit. Now, what about this? I saw a rough cut of Titanic, and it was temp sound because they didn't have all the money.
Dana Carvey
Seriously?
David Spade
Yeah.
Dana Carvey
Okay, go ahead.
David Spade
And when the ship was going down, it was. It was an hour of just. You hear blub, blub, blub, blub. Because he didn't have all the real noises in yet.
Dana Carvey
Funny.
David Spade
Yeah, it was just someone doing that, I guess. But it sounded real. But then they added, like, screaming later and actual good sounds.
Dana Carvey
Just an insert and a callback to Bowen Yang. One of the ways that I first noticed how funny he was is when he played the iceberg that was hit.
David Spade
By the ship from Titanic. That is a tie in.
Dana Carvey
How do you think I felt? You know, that was just a funny take.
David Spade
It was a good bit. Very good bit. Also throwing back to Anora again, that one of the stories I read over the last week was it cost 6 million. And it was an interesting little tidbit that they spent 18 million on a Oscar push with advertising. So three times the budget.
Dana Carvey
You know, it's the way. The way. I mean, our. But our advertising budget for this show is 27 million. I was going to say $39. We could go one way or the other way much. It's 1 billion a year. And that's why winning Comedy Podcast the Year Full Circle.
David Spade
I was going crazy that day because I had a gig and I had to send stuff ahead of time and it's just too hard to put together. We don't have any time. And life in general, as you know, can be chaotic.

David Spade
Dana it's award season, which means we're due for some classic red carpet combos like strapless dresses and statement necklaces, or acclaimed directors and long acceptance speeches.
Dana Carvey
But you know what? Look always pairs perfectly together. Discover and Cash back. You see, Discover automatically matches all the cash back you've earned at the end of the first year, which is a.
David Spade
Look that will always serve. It pays to slay. It pays to discover. See terms@discover.com credit card. I will say, and I don't know if we mentioned this earlier about the iHeart Award, but we we forgot to Tell everybody to like vote for it. I don't know if we were 1000% aware to say, hey everybody, get on there and click. So that's even more shocking that we would get.
Dana Carvey
Wait a minute. So it was open to just people.
David Spade
That I would imagine they have, so.
Dana Carvey
Oh, wow.
David Spade
I don't know, I don't know how people would vote and I, I. But we appreciate it. So we are very humbled and very. It's very nice that we got that we will maybe stop talking about it now, but I think that's a lot.
Dana Carvey
Well, no, I just, I just heard. Oh, we're getting a message. I don't think it was a voting thing, more like an academy. I think winners are chosen for cumulative performance.
David Spade
Hold on, we'll come back to this. Put a picture.
Dana Carvey
By the way, I'm a fan of Bobby Kennedy Jr. Because he's a disturber and he looks cool. You watch him, you know. You know, he walks into that chamber, he's a, he's a Kennedy. You know, he comes from that vibe. He's all tan.
David Spade
Rip too.
Dana Carvey
And he's ripped and, and he has Dysonia, which my brother has on his hand. It's just a rigidity in his vocal cords. And his voice is pretty cool. I think Big pharma. Big pharma and the pharmaceutical companies in the Big egg are poisoning our children. And I figure why not get an AI jfk? So the translate. I'll use AI jfk, commencing AI jfk. The, the big agriculture and the big farmers. They are indeed poisoning our children. We criticize and we ask questions. Not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Just the thought.
David Spade
I like it.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
What about that? His voice? Some. Sometimes the funniest thing is in the middle of that you gave yourself a thumbnail. Comes down.
Dana Carvey
I don't know why my thing.
David Spade
I don't know.
Dana Carvey
Look, these bits aren't worked out and I just thought. I just like these non status quo dudes like Bobby Kenning. And I heard him on Rogan for three hours and then I kind of got his whole, his whole thing.
David Spade
You know, people say his voice is a bit irritating, which is rude because it's an affliction. But he said if he did get this new appointment that he would, instead of giving speeches, he would set up a group chat with America. And then it would be lesser, he would just talk and then we could all look and listen to it.
Dana Carvey
I don't.
David Spade
That's another bit. And it didn't, it didn't Seem to do that great. But that's funny. Some of these are undercooked.
Dana Carvey
No, no, I. I was just. I was thinking. Yeah, I know. That's funny. I thought it sound. You played it so straight, I thought, oh, group chat, you know?
David Spade
I know group chat. It sounds funny. He gets on WhatsApp. Join me on WhatsApp.
Dana Carvey
But it. It doesn't really bother me. I think he does very well with it, and you get used to it. Let me go with AI jfk. Commencing AI jfk. I don't think my voice is a problem. I think I've presented very well with it. And I speak this way not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Okay, we. Right. Well, I love doing.
David Spade
You tweaked it up.
Dana Carvey
You know where that reference is? We don't do it because it's easy.
David Spade
Because it's hard. Yeah, that's from some famous speech to.
Dana Carvey
Go to the moon before the end of this decade. We don't do it because it's easy. We do it because it's. You finish it.
David Spade
We don't fake the landing because it's easy. We fake it because it's.
Dana Carvey
We pretend to go to the moon. Not because it's easy, because it takes technical difficulties. It's hard. We have actors, we have sets and props. We don't actually go to the moon, but we pretend that we go to the moon. That's Capricorn 10, I think. I don't know. All right, here we go. I heart.
David Spade
I. So I heart is giving. Okay. Podcast winners in each category will be determined by a panel of blue ribbon podcast industry leaders, creatives, and visionaries. I'm all three of those things each year. Podcast fans help decide. At least that's what it says on my LinkedIn.
Dana Carvey
Decide the winner. Yeah.
David Spade
Oh, okay. They vote online. Okay. I. I heart podcast awards. All right.
Dana Carvey
I just want to thank. Thank you for voting. Now we have a whole new thing. I just can't believe that people. Okay. I'm doing Mark Pitta, by the way.
David Spade
Should we get to the headlines? Or do we have any. Or do you have any more stories?
Dana Carvey
One more. I'm working on Elon Musk, and I don't really have it, but the fact that he talks very soft and lilting, and I think it's funny when Trump is sitting next to him and the tie is really long and Trump's just.
David Spade
Sitting listening to Elon and the ties touching the ground.
Dana Carvey
Elon goes on for five minutes. So we can. We can't afford it. The government is to be spending too much money, and if we get the government spending down, inflation will come down. And then they go, Mr. President, Trump goes, what he said. What he said. He's a. He's a smart cookie. He's a smart cookie. He's a tough cookie. He's a tough cookie. He's a sweet cookie. He's a cookie crumble. He's a cookie monster. He's Chips Ahoy. He's a loner. Do remember Lorna Dune? Everybody loves. So that's my little.
David Spade
I like that. That's your cookie run. It's a good one, actually.
Dana Carvey
Things I share on on the podcast. Now that all these people voted for us just as embryonic beginnings, I want them to come out on our podcast first and then later on talk shows, you know?
David Spade
Yeah. So, okay. Anything about your gig on the weekend or. No.
Dana Carvey
I played a recreational vehicle park in Arizona. It's called Hobbs RV park, and it was thousands of RVs and little houses. We got the best shitters in the greater Arizona area, by the way. The native son of Arizona is one David Potassium Pete Spade. So you came up. But. Yeah, here's the. Here's the thing about that. They had like a theater, couple thousand people. They were the nicest audience. It was 55 and up, and they were the nicest, coolest audience. Tons of energy. So don't judge an RV park by its.
David Spade
I didn't.
Dana Carvey
But you were a little winner.
David Spade
They would auction off an arrowhead. You know, when I'm Arizona, we'd always find arrowheads in the ground.
Dana Carvey
Oh, that's kind of hip from the Native American population that we took over.
David Spade
Yeah, I guess. Or whatever. Stole it more like they used to hang out there. That's how I soften it a bit. Yeah. They would always be buzzing around there.
Dana Carvey
Well, that's kind of my shtick. Why don't. Why, let's do things.
David Spade
I don't have any shticks about my week. I don't know. Really.
Dana Carvey
Where'd you play?
David Spade
What are you guys doing on Saturday? What are you doing?
Dana Carvey
That's right.
David Spade
What are you doing on Saturday? Oh, this Saturday. We're going to Fantasy Springs.
Dana Carvey
Tomorrow night. Fantasy Springs? Well, it's actually closer to Indio. Not that anybody's counting, but it's.
David Spade
You know, they're doing the Indian Wells tennis tournament. I wonder if it's on purpose that we're there during that.
Dana Carvey
Huh. Interesting. Well, it was the combine when we were playing Indianapolis, so maybe they're just booking sporting events and different Things kind of knowing it would boost our ticket.
David Spade
Sales because I was talking to Theo about maybe doing a show night before UFC events in cities because we have similar crowd, you know, and sometimes people get in the night before, there's nothing to do. But that's similar. That's. That, that's. Whatever. It'll be fun. Fantasy Springs, it's a pretty big room, so we're excited to play it and we will. We hope to see there and we will report on it next week.
Dana Carvey
Commence. Hold on. Commencing JFK interface for David Spade. We playing a Fantasy Springs casino and we feel that it's going to be a good show. We'd love to all see you there. We don't do it because it's easy. We do it because it's.
David Spade
Yeah. We don't drive all the way to Palm Springs because it's easy.
Dana Carvey
We do it because it's a long way, but we will do it and bring the show hard. And we will do sets of comedy. Then we will come out together, take questions and answers from the crowd. DC scene, JFK interface.
David Spade
I'm not going to show the crowd my wiener because it's easy. I'm going to. You get it? Okay.
Dana Carvey
That's so bad, it's brilliant.
David Spade
First story, Ex Olympic snowboarder ryan wedding among FBI's 10 most wanted for alleged roll. And he's this guy's Olympic snowboarder, Heather. He's tied into a one billion dollar. He runs a billion dollar cocaine ring. Unless he got murked. Did anything happen to him?
Dana Carvey
I don't know. I mean, have you heard this story, Dana?
David Spade
He was in the Olympics.
Dana Carvey
I did see it. And you know what? Most Olympic. I'm not forgiving what he's decided to make money as. But most Olympic athletes don't make that much money. A few do. So I'm not sure exactly.
David Spade
Exactly I would be getting into this field. You know, Olympics are tough because I love them. But it's grueling. All day training all your life, that's all, you know, for maybe a 10 second run. And if you don't do it perfectly, where are you? Do you do it four more years for the next Olympics? And what do you really, really, really get? Because afterwards, maybe you are. If you win the gold, maybe you're a coach, maybe you go. Where do you go? Because you've spent all your time not in school, you're training to be the best. The best, which is a huge achievement. But after that, where is a huge payoff? It's like vets Coming back, it's like you do it for your country, whatever country, and you come back and some countries really treat you well and some treat you medium. I'm not saying we don't. I'm saying America. I love Olympic athletes. I think it's great. But I want them to have more rewards going on in the future because it's a tough gig.
Dana Carvey
Yeah. I mean for track and field, it's the most popular sport in the world for like a week every four years. But there's still the Diamond League and other things. But yeah, the drama of it for us is so intense.
David Spade
It's fun for the crowd. Yeah.
Dana Carvey
And then you. Everyone knows that injuries or whatever there, they may not be there in four years. It's very hard to make the American track and field team. And this year the winner was the closest of all time.0003 one hundredths of a second in the 100 meter dash. Noah Lyles, just literally like that.
David Spade
Oh, right, I remember.
Dana Carvey
Yeah. So yeah, it makes it very dramatic. But I don't know, most of them don't make a lot of money in track and field. Not like you can a baseball or basketball player. He averages two points a game and gets grabs a rebound. He plays six minutes a game. Just signed a 78 million dollar contract, you know, but all at least to get paid. That's because the NBA is really well run.
David Spade
Is there no salary cap or something? In the NBA there's so much.
Dana Carvey
There is kind of rules like that, but they, they get well paid. And you know, in the NFL most players play four years and get out and run a car dealership. They're not all Travis Kelsey.
David Spade
They don't all start a cocaine cartel like this guy.
Dana Carvey
Well, that guy. Yeah. Get out of that and get back to snowboarding.
David Spade
Okay, that's a good lesson. I don't know if he's busted or I guess.
Dana Carvey
Well, I don't know why I went into cocaine. But he spent his life around white powder, so could be a connection there.
David Spade
I do think it comes hand in hand. Kevin Nealon has such a great joke about that. Okay, all right, what's the next story? You'll have to go to Kevin and watch. Yeah. GOP Outraged after Trans Singer. This is your Bernie impression. But there's some vulgar lyrics at one of his rallies which I don't think he saw coming. Oh, have you heard the lyrics? They're too rough to even read here.
Dana Carvey
Oh, oh, and this is Court of Attacking Trump or something. Does your God have a big fat d? Word. Because it feels like he's effing me. Does he shout, shoot wads of honey and don't even read it? It's while I'm. I'm editing it for the kids that we have a huge under 10.
David Spade
Yeah.
Dana Carvey
Under 10 fan.
David Spade
Mr. Sunday. I don't know.
Dana Carvey
Yeah. Wow.
David Spade
Thank you, Grace. He thanked Grace after. Thank you, Grace.
Dana Carvey
So she gets booed off. He covers for it. She has the voice of an angel. The voice of an angel. Let's play it again. The voice of an angel. I'm. And the billionaires. And the billionaires are doing something.
David Spade
All right, we'll get off the story. It's. It's grosser than I thought.
Dana Carvey
I got my.
David Spade
Bernie, I like when you go, she's got the voice of an angel.
Dana Carvey
The voice of an angel. Okay, here we go.
David Spade
We're back to snl.
Dana Carvey
Fun.
David Spade
How much does does an episode of SNL cost? Do you want to guess, Dana? Do you know?
Dana Carvey
I would say $3 million.
David Spade
3 million. Jesus Christ. Okay.
D
Episode of SNL costs way more than you think, and that could be a problem when Lorne Michaels leaves. The average SNL episode has about 10 sketches and two musical performances. There are currently 17 cast members total and 300 people in the credits each. So how much do you think all that costs? A single episode of SNL costs $4 million to make. This comes out $100 million a season. It turns out, making 80 wigs, 150 costumes, a dozen sets each week, not to mention Lauren's high fee and all the other 300 salaries adds up. But here's the thing. According to Vulture, SNL is still very valuable to NBC. It remains the highest rated entertainment show on network television. In the 1849 demo, the only broadcasts that get better ratings are live sports. And because it's a legacy brand, NBC can charge a lot for its ads and sponsorship deals. But on a recent episode of the Town Podcast, industry insider Matt Bellany speculated that Lorne Michaels himself is holding the line on the show's budget because, quote, everyone is afraid of Lorne Michaels and that once he leaves, the budget is going to get slashed. Bellany quoted a prominent producer in this space who believes a million dollars can be cut from each episode and that viewers wouldn't even know the difference. But one has to wonder if those cuts would significantly change the show. I don't worry about SNL without Lauren, because I think there are a lot of capable people who could run it. But budget cuts could hollow the show out from the inside.
Dana Carvey
Huh?
David Spade
4 million I said, how much is a host get?
Dana Carvey
3 now 5000. Usually 5000 is an honorarium because it's like you get paid for the exposure and a cast member, you get paid for the exposure. But those sets, the, you know, and 300 people, the crew and all the.
David Spade
Different departments, everybody's union and the just. How about the real estate to be in Rockefeller Plaza taking over all those floors and studios and yeah, there's a.
Dana Carvey
Reason there's not a lot of SNLs around. It's so freaking hard. And the, the hair department, I mean, it's so nerve wracking because everything is last minute and then you have to be top notch with a wig and a look and you know, it's just.
David Spade
And they have to have everything at their fingertips. Like if you say, I need this for this sketch and they can't leave the building, a lot of times, obviously they have to, but sometimes they dig in the back and find something, a prop, a wig, a piece of word.
Dana Carvey
They put it all together under extraordinary pressure. And I, one cast member, I won't say who, just went to a local church and sort of prayed during the dinner time and then came back to do the show. So the pressure is so extreme, the fact that it's live, like, that's what I love about it. For me, if a sketch isn't working, I find that interesting and kind of funny. I'm not rooting for it. But you're getting to see something not work quite the way they want. And believe me, I've been in a few of those turkeys, so I know what I'm talking.
David Spade
A couple.
Dana Carvey
Is it David, when you're in the.
David Spade
Sketch, you're like, what's going on? Why is this not work? What's. And it's so horrible to try to finish it and then you run off grabbing the other guy going, what happened? But you're already running to the next one.
Dana Carvey
Well, the worst is if you do the dress show and it kind of works. You come out of 8H and there's a page desk and all the people kind of hanging out right as you come out of 8H in your costume, your makeup. Yeah, the dress show, you come out first time they've seen it full tilt. So they're, hey. And if the air show's not as good, you come out, huh, huh. And they kind of look down, check their phone, humiliate.
David Spade
Actually, to get from the home base to the page desk through the doors is probably 15 seconds. So you're hot off the presses of Being in front of millions of people, and then you walk right out and you're still, like, kind of flying high on adrenaline. And it's fun to see everyone high five or do something or say, good job, or especially if it worked. And then when it doesn't, it's the other way. Sickening.
Dana Carvey
When you're in the cold opening, the only time the studio is, you know, quiet, but everyone's ready to move. And I'm coming off the stage, and I was going to just walk down this. The front steps off the main stage, but I decided last minute to jump. And as I was just jumping, there was a guy with a trolley coming toward me. And I thought, fuck, I may land on this moving trolley and break my back, you know? But I didn't. Sorry. I was a little. I was springy for my age. I jumped further than you. Whoops.
David Spade
Heather was. Heather was really into that story. Then it ended with nothing. Nothing happened.
Dana Carvey
I leaped. Yeah, nothing happened. But you were like this in my head. I thought, holy shit, ski. And then I said, up, up, and away, and I jumped. But still, my point is, you can really fall and get hit by cameras and everything's crazy.
David Spade
I mean, once they say they skat, they're out at commercial, meaning you're still on camera. The light goes off from red.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
They go, now you've got two minutes for next sketch. Everybody bolts. And so they're pushing props in, waiting for that millisecond, and they go. Because that New York sketch we did with Pete and John Mulaney, they. We could not get it right. We kept running off while they pushed in tables and we're running into them. They kept going, cut. Spade, you guys go this way. They're coming this way. Guy ram into them again. They're like, you don't get it. What are you doing? They push the hot dog vendor out, push us in. They put steam in the hot dogs, fake steam. And we just kept going. We're so dumb. And the first AD is so tough. He's like a Marine Chris. And it wasn't.
Dana Carvey
He's great. He's funny, but he. He really. He. He rules that area because he. He's responsible for safety. Doors open. And they're opening doors for a sketch. Doors close, guys. You got to go faster. You got to go fast. Let's do it again.
David Spade
Yeah.
Dana Carvey
Doors open, close. So he has to run a tight ship. He's the one.
David Spade
We were a full hazard. He says he knew we were all idiots.
Dana Carvey
Yeah. He says five seconds. For people who Watch the show.
David Spade
Oh, he's the one that goes five.
Dana Carvey
Seconds, which was started by Joe Disco, but he does disco just. Anyway, joke. So Joe Dicks.
David Spade
Yeah, you know. You know him. You love him.
Dana Carvey
The great, the great. The guy. Yeah. Started that, I believe. And Chris does a great job of it. And I'm sitting there and every time he goes five seconds, I can tell by the audience if it's going to be rocking or not the way they were.
David Spade
Yeah.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
Okay, Next One spade is feisty.
Dana Carvey

Dana Carvey

E
New trend where women are completely coating themselves with full body glitter before first date.
Dana Carvey
Why?
E
For the express purpose of outing taken or married who may be going out to another woman. They're calling it divorce dust. Apparently, in a world where not everyone has joined their local are we dating the same guy group? Women felt the need to get a little bit more creative. And apparently it's working. Allowing glitter to truly live up to its scientific name, the herpes of crafts. One woman says, that's actually how I caught my ex husband cheating. I don't wear glitter. But the other girl did.
David Spade
I knew immediately. So glitter's hard to tell.
E
If I'm.
Dana Carvey
Just turn that off.
David Spade
I will tell you enough of a smoking gun. The when in the old days, if I'd go to a strip club, also known as a dance club, or go see the peelers or they peel their clothes off. If you go to the peelers and they have glitter on, my friend would say, I would take my shirt and put it at the bottom of the hamper because it's got to get blended in and get the glitter off because that's the first sign of trouble. And so that's probably an interesting, schemy way to find out if some guy's married. And if they are, that's shitty. So, hey, listen. Every trick in the book, whatever it.
Dana Carvey
Takes, I don't know who the new James Bond. What if it's a way. If guys aren't coming out and being honest.
David Spade
I do like flushing them out of the brush because you get them caught, so it's their fault.
Dana Carvey
So he touches the woman who's covered in glitter. It gets all over him. Then he goes, he goes home to his wife. Hi, honey. She sees the glitter and all hell breaks loose.
David Spade
And they're like, dana wore a lot of glitter today. I just kind of rubbed up against them sometimes.
Dana Carvey
Sometimes. And some husbands in Washington D.C. they will get glittered up and they know it's a problem. So they. They hire Senator John Kennedy to come in and sort of defend them to the wife. Now that's a good setup.
David Spade
We went around a long way. We got there. I love it.
Dana Carvey
You are accusing your husband. Let me get. Let me make sure I get it right.
David Spade
Here, get my notes here, my notes.
Dana Carvey
You are accusing your husbands of influence, fidelity because of some glitter have you ever heard of a five and dime store? They sell glitter, don't they? And that is where your husband just.
David Spade
Simple yes or no. Simple yes or no ear words.
Dana Carvey
Not mine.
David Spade
There's extra.
Dana Carvey
I don't know. I just threw him in. I think. Johnny Carson comes home to his wife. 1972. Oh, sorry, Joni. I. I didn't know I had glitter on me. Ed McMahon had a vomitorium drink and Boo Boo. Vomitorium with a twist.
David Spade
I. I told you earlier, I was in the. We had a pinata full of glitter today to celebrate our one millionth episode. I. I'm sure it's in your eye, Cal.
Dana Carvey
I will say this. They should use it in combat because you. If you get. If it comes down the glitter at some award or somewhere, you can never get all of it out. It's a.
David Spade
That's what they're counting on.
Dana Carvey
So I give kudos to those women for. And you know, how about not dating losers? Just a question mark.
David Spade
Yeah. I'm not dating married guys. But the married guys don't say it. In fairness. And also, if you pick up your date and she's covered in glitter, you just go, okay, we're just going to do fist bumps tonight. All right, let's move on. Even though this is. Glitter was also the name of a Mariah Carey movie. I don't know if you remember.
Dana Carvey
You should go home and say, okay.
David Spade
Go ahead, listen, we covered politics, we cover. We do everything here.
Dana Carvey
Yeah.
David Spade
Sports, snl, and now here's science. Doctors, look inside. Inside your head with these new glasses, in real time.
Dana Carvey
Wow.
David Spade
Detailed images of your brain.
Dana Carvey
Wow.
David Spade
I can read that. This system increases the precision of brain tumor removal. Whoa.
Dana Carvey
Whoa. I love it. I mean, you know, because I came from. So weird. Remember Star Trek?
David Spade
Yes. I'm pretty young, but I do remember. I've heard about it, Bones.
Dana Carvey
The doctor would just have a thing and make a sound. I can't believe you can see in her brain, Bones. Bones.
David Spade
I can't believe Your temperature is 98.6. Jim, that's normal.
Dana Carvey
She has a cerebral bone or hemorrhaging. The future arrives in slow motion and all at once, and I can't believe it otherwise. Hands.
David Spade
You can up, Spock. You can operate on my brain. Just make sure I can still think about the strip club. Oh, we won't be touching that part of your brain, sir.
Dana Carvey
I watched William Shatner last night in Deep Space Nine. They did a mashup and they did. William shatner from the 60s in Star Trek was in the future at Deep Space nine. And I couldn't believe it. He was great. I love that guy, man. Can we have William Shatner back on?
David Spade
We had him. Yeah, we had him on Fly on the Wall again.
Dana Carvey
He was just.
David Spade
We. What'd you say, Heather? Oh, yeah, he's on Fly on the Wall of subsidiary of Flying.
Dana Carvey
He's probably Superfly, the most curious guests we ever had.
David Spade
Like, he initially, I'm curious, do you.
Dana Carvey
Guys feel the need to be on all the time? That was the first thing he thought of.
David Spade
You know, I have the need. The need for speed was that fast.
Dana Carvey
He said that the script was kind of stilted and boring, so you had to make all his lines. So that's why he would pivot and talk like that. Well, back to seven, you know, he just rhythm and it was genius. You just can't ever, you know, he was great. And Leonard Namoy. I mean, come on.
David Spade
Leonard Nimoy.
Dana Carvey
Nimoy Namoy.
David Spade
I haven't heard that okay anymore. Should we wrap it up?
Dana Carvey
You can see when blindfolded.
David Spade
Oh, is this autistic kids, Heather, you.
C
Think they're able to play ping pong, ride a bike?
David Spade
I mean, insane that they're smarter because of frequency. They have more senses.
C
It's several techniques being used. Different groups use different techniques, but they all get to the same result.
David Spade
Yellow, blue, yellow.
Dana Carvey
Is it autistic kids or kids with.
C
Scientifically, Maybe it's just kids. The amount of light inside the mask to show that there's zero light.
David Spade
So technically, that's the around and find out.
C
Basically, you're asking your brain to control your vision. Well, actually, you don't see with your eyes. You see brain. Yes, it's your brain. I mean, the.
David Spade
I see with my hands. Hong.
C
You know, it's like the optical lens, you know, but actually vision controlled by.
David Spade
That's me. The combine.
Dana Carvey
Wow.
C
So if you. There is no light, technically you're not supposed to see because there's no reflection object. And yet with training, you can see.
Dana Carvey
Completely without your eyes.
C
In the dog.
David Spade
So this is just. You can take regular people and try to get the. I don't know about that. I feel like I'd fail that class.
Dana Carvey
Blindfold them and somehow this device allows them to roller skate or jump around and they can see with their brain, not with their eyes.
David Spade
Yeah, when people pick something up that's mine, I go. See with your eyes, not your hands. So that's.
Dana Carvey
Well, if you go. I saw the long version and that then she finally told the end. They can see with their brain. But sometimes you get really stupid people, like really dumb. And we have them see with their brains and they get hurt immediately. So you have to have a certain basic IQ level for the device to work. But some people are just. Just morons. I mean, they are really, really stupid. So I'm glad we didn't show that part.
David Spade
Here's a clever thing you can say if you're a kid and you're on the playground. It's a little thinky. But when people say they take your. They go, oh, that's cool. Can I see it? And you pull back and you. First you say, see with your eyes, not your hands. That's a good one for kids. And then you see. Then you go, oh, there's no C in it. It's all dry land.
Dana Carvey
C, S, E, A. I like that.
David Spade
Isn't that great?
Dana Carvey
Here's a playground favorite, and I'm sure you used it. Someone says, hey, Dana, you're stupid. I know you are, but what am I? That frustrates the out of little kids. Try David. You can't. You can't. You're. You can't see very well.
David Spade
I know, because I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say to me bounces back and sticks on you.
Dana Carvey
I think I say, I know you are, but what am I?
David Spade
Okay, I know I forgot that one. I. I went. I went to a new advanced one.
Dana Carvey
No, those are the classics. Heather, I know you are, but what am I?
David Spade
There you go. She got it. She knows her cue.
Dana Carvey
Today kids are more sensitive into psychology. They'd say, I know I am and you're not and start to cry. So it's a different I know I am.
David Spade
My dad left me when I was four. That's what I usually would say. And then, oh, boy, just song and dance again.
Dana Carvey
Did you. Did you get an enforcer as a kid?
David Spade
No.
Dana Carvey
I wish I would always make best friends. Like in fourth grade, Steve Lee was the biggest, strongest kid. So I said, he's going to be my new best friend. And then he was my enforcer. So if someone tried to bully me, I go talk to the Steve.
David Spade
I go, hey, you're big and dumb. I'm Dave. Will you be my bully enforcer? I got picked on all the time. It was horrible.
Dana Carvey
You. Because you were smart. What are you going to do? Win the chess championship? You're going to win the spelling beast Spade? Is that your plan? You know, right?
David Spade
Go. How's reading 47 books the most in the school? When you're in fifth grade. And I go, it's fine. And I go, oh, I didn't see that coming.
Dana Carvey
I was good at dodgeball. I'm telling you, I was good.
David Spade
I was good at all of it.
Dana Carvey
Couldn't do tetherball. That was a height orientated. But a dodgeball. I was a speed demon.
David Spade
Tetherball, overrated. Okay, is there any more or should we wrap it up? I have to go into Happy Madison today. Okay. Okay, just. Oh, you. This might be fun for you, Dana. You can be Gene Simmons roadie for a day. And it's only $12,500.
Dana Carvey
So you pay. 12,500.
David Spade
So you pay.
Dana Carvey
Yeah, you pay it. Gene Simmons is a brilliant businessman.
David Spade
Why don't we get a roadie for Superfly?
Dana Carvey
I'm gonna get this for you for Christmas.
David Spade
Maybe we'll do online. We'll. We'll ask on YouTube. Who would pay the most to fly here and sit with Heather? And you could laugh at all our jokes that most aren't funny at all.
Dana Carvey
Not bad.
David Spade
Heather's laughed at three today. Three out of 1,000. Not great.
Dana Carvey
How many times did she nod off? How many times did she nod off today?
David Spade
Sometimes I look. Sometimes she's smiling and sometimes she's just literally drifting off.
Dana Carvey
But you can't help it.
David Spade
It's an hour once.
Dana Carvey
And I saw her just peeking out of a sleeping bag looking at you. And then she's zipping up the top that you're. It tilted. I think Greg cut that part out. But Heather was like, oh, my God, what am I gonna. How do I get away?
David Spade
Last week when she was sick, she was sitting on the floor, leaning against a chair, half lying on the floor. But she showed up. She's tough.
Dana Carvey
You. Are you all good now?
David Spade
Heather, she's close. We talked about this.
Dana Carvey
Pretty close. There's a lingering fatigue and a little bit of a cough. That's what happened to me. Missed the 50th.
David Spade
Right? And you were missed at the 50th. We need. I won't be the heavy hitters there.
Dana Carvey
I won't be at the 60th.
David Spade
I'm waiting till the hundredth. Why won't you be at the. Were you saying you won't go or you will go?
Dana Carvey
I will be at the 60th. Okay, guy, Ron Tay.
David Spade
Here's John Lovitz. Hey, Lauren, Am I in the 60th? Should I book my flight? I don't know. We don't know yet.
Dana Carvey
We're going to do a smash cut. You're Going to be in a Toys R Us unicycle, and you won't really know why you're there. And you'll say, I'm not really mad. I just want to know why I'm here.
David Spade
That's what I did last time.
Dana Carvey
You're going to get a. You're going to be playing with Tinker Toys. You know, Tinker Toys, and you're gonna build an image that'll look like me. Is there a Tinker Toy rapper? I love that. That's not bad.
David Spade
What's up, yo? I'm Tinker Toys.
Dana Carvey
You can't tell who's a rapper anymore.
David Spade
It used to be the, you know, cannot.
Dana Carvey
Sham Boozy is this great country western. Ironically, he's a teetotaler, but Sham Boozy.

Oh, his name is Sham W. No.

No, my name's Pump Fake.
Dana Carvey
My name is Lemon Meringue.

David Spade
