Did they ever have any like pyramid schemes or anything like in your area when you were growing

up? Do you remember that? What a question.

Well, I think my mom was, you know, my mom was very tough.

She got divorced, you know, my dad left.

I don't think she had a big vote in it.

We got to Scottsdale and he took off.

Was he a criminal or anything like that? No, but he was...

Yeah,

And how do you feel about Pro- Busboys?

Busboys, Busboys is up there with some of the greatest, um, fantasy/sci-fi dramas I've ever seen in my entire life.

Yeah, Theo did it.

I don't think, I don't think Theo knew about it.

I think it was, they just, somebody made it and they were exploiting you guys.

Mm-hmm.

I said, "Oh, yeah, for sure." So I got his room, and then when they'd come back on the weeks off, Kevin would stay on the couch, I'd stay in the room, and then I got to meet and know Dana a little bit.

But he was like, you know, he's, like, the guy on SNL, and then I was brought in sorta, sort of as a repla- This sounds crazy.

I heard this later, like, to light a fire under Dana to, like, work harder, 'cause we got one just like you.

Okay.

I mean, we would ...

Y- you know, he's a good punch up guy, and we would try to help each other with the sketches we wrote, or we can update bits that are just in one.

Those are sort of easier to get on, better chance of getting on, and then you can score.

Oh, yeah

...

I told Nealon just, it happened, and, and I think I was MC-ing in a, in a hallway, and I said, "Oh," he got SNL, and I said...

And he goes, "I heard you telling, like, John Mulrooney, and you were, you were renting his place, but you're kicked out." And I said, "Yeah." And he goes, "I'm gonna go to SNL.

Do you wanna rent my room while I'm gone?" And he lived with Dana-

Zach.

I go, "Are you going on tonight?" And I go, uh, and I say, "Are you going on?" He goes, "Yeah." And I go, "I did this last year." And he goes, "How is it?" I go, "It, it's, it's a little dicey, but it kinda is what it is." And he goes, "I gotta do 20." And then he looks at his notes and he goes, "Are there fucking kids here?" And I go, "Oh, the whole front row." And he goes, "Oh, shit." And he goes, "That's out.

That's out."

Sorry.

It is exciting.

I mean, talking about it, doing it, it was fun.

It was hard to just quit it, but it just- I just watch and you go, "No way to have a career.

There's no way to have anything good with all this pressure and shit you gotta do." And people like to rat you out, and people like to say, (inhales through teeth) "This guy, you know, he's all (whistles) all fucking deesh deesh."

Yeah.

"... they're gonna have to call the police." I go, "No, no, no." Extra scared.

And he cranks the heater on in the car, and I'm starting to fucking sweat.

(gentle music) Hey, guys.

My name's David Spade and I feel (gentle music) somewhat sick about being-

(laughs)

... just more, like, bad tummy about being Conan's friend.

(laughs)

But sometimes, you know, Rock is in town, and last time I went to New York I said...

Or maybe it wasn't the Knicks, or maybe when he came we went there.

But usually they can shake him up, shake it out, if that's a term, and it's super fun.

When I did a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode...

Oh, thanks, a couple of people remember? We, um, the joke was that Larry...

'Cause NBC has two sets of tickets.

(laughs)

(laughs)

Appreciate

you.

We had a blast on that movie.

I'm glad you were there.

I still have good feelings about it.

I saw it.

I don't see it all the time.

Dave, have you ever had to deal with hecklers and how you deal with them?

Definitely not.

...

Farley was sick on the plane and he goes, "I have the flu, I'm gonna lay down." And I go, "All right." And we had a 6:00 AM call, so we fly in.

"Don't disturb me, I'm going to bed." I go, "I don't care, go to bed, you know, I'll see you tomorrow." In five seconds, you know, like, I see you all the time.

So he goes to bed.

Rob Lowe flies in and he goes, "Hey, do you wanna meet down in the lobby and have a beer? Should we get Farley?" I go, "No, he's sick." So the next day in, in makeup, he's staring at me in the mirror like this.

"Mm-hmm."

(laughs) That's what he said to you?

Yeah, I'm trying to think, what do you think is the toughest part now having, like, kind of put a movie together from the beginning? What do you think is kinda one of the toughest parts?

Fuck, I mean, it's, it's all, um...

It's tough all the way along the way because we're just doing it alone.

Usually we work for a boss, Paramount, Sony, Netflix.

You know, they tell us what to do, and we kinda just...

We're, we're on our own, but we also know there's someone else calling some shots, the bigger shots, budgetary things, this and that, casting, we have to agree on.

So I rarely, I had never gone into it like this where it's just me and you, and that's good.

Would you guys ever have done a Tommy Boy 2? Do you think you and Farley ever would've done it?
