Installation as well. Yeah, celebration. Chris Farley, two-parter. Chris Farley, obviously one of the naturally funniest person you could ever meet in your life. And we got a lot of his friends together and family together, and we had talks about him, and it goes to a lot of different places. And we told everyone, you know, let's share some lighthearted stories, anything you think about him, you want to say, and we had a lot of people call and say, can we be a part of it? And it was 90% lighthearted, but now, and then you can't help it. If you're talking with someone that really affected everyone's life that is on the podcast,

that's going to be chiming in, you realize you can't help but get choked up at times. It's just the way it is. It was 25 years ago this month, and that is baffling to me. That is that long and it doesn't a day go by. We don't think about them. So we tried to do this respectfully. We had some fun because Chris was fun. And like David said, we do have people talk to his addiction

and how he died. And so we just hope he really liked it. It's a, yeah, there's a few heavy moments and we got, you know, it just kind of goes up and down. You know, that's just what happens when you talk about someone and I think this is a good day and a for younger listeners or SNL people. But there's a lot of people I don't even know Chris Farley.

I see people that go, oh, you know, and a lot of Zeppelin and they're like, I know his faiths if I saw him. I know the name, I can picture him. And I'm like, well, that's actually a band. You don't know Pink Floyd? They're like, dude, I don't even know Pink, all right? I'm like, ooh, you are young. So it's just a way that Chris Farley is someone

we just think you know, and you might not, and if you've heard about him, this is a great place to just hear the thoughts of everyone who's very tight with them. And then you'll hear about sketches you might want to look up or movies. And I think it's a good opportunity for everyone just to talk out loud. If you know them, you get to kind of revisit. I feel like I know Chris better just doing these interviews, just hearing from all the different people who knew him and worked with him.

So here you go. This is Adam Sandler. He obviously knew Adam and we were all on SNL together at the same time. He knew Chris in and out, Chris loved him. We had so many laughs together And here's his thoughts. How's your act right now? Because did you have to do all new from your special? I did about all the stand up is Aina on this special and then I do the things I do from the special

I do to Farley tune. Yeah. And then I do Grow All with you. And I think that maybe one other song, I don't fucking remember. But I like the electric Farley I just I had really just objectively Watched you play electric guitar in a while

So that really made me laugh a comedian quote unquote is then shredding is shredding, you know, it's like that Disso you did the electric on the tour, right, with Chris Farley's. Yeah, that's the fake, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a fun part getting the way all the way out of guitar, but then all of a sudden finding yourself way off key and people going, you're making it worse. And just faking it and just like crying it, wimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimim the fretboard remember when we played dogs I got the shred of lead on that that's right

Like, yeah, this is a good sound. There's too much ham, too much ham in one space. We've got to stay wide. Too many show boaters looking for the lens. By the way, Dana, when Santa, I have to say, to start off this Farley stuff,

we've Adam's, Farley song, I'm glad you kept it in because it's so good there's more pictures in it. Audience is totally like, you can never not do that song. Got punched. They don't even know what's coming. It's funny and it's sad. And then it's everyone just like stops in their tracks and goes, oh my god, because you know, they're laughing the whole night and they get hit with that thing.

And then everyone walks away going, that's the best thing in the world. And maybe it's indelicate to say, but it's actually, it's a very nice tune. And it's a great song. It's like a really sweet, the chord changes and the melody. It just says a good, good, very, very near your gongy. Very near your gongy. Yeah, a lot of cheese and A miners and. Exactly.

She might be without a leaf over. No, freaking, they just love seeing Farley up on the screen. I mean, let's go to the boxers every time you say his name. It's so nice. And can you guys, when you see it, even though you've done it a lot, I mean, every night I assume there's just a little bit of a lump in your throat or you just get some moat.

You can't never get away from that feeling, right? With the pictures of Chris. You're mo, you can't never get away from that feeling, right? With the pitchers of Chris and you're right. You're right. Well, when we first would do it three years ago, whenever we'd be on the road back, when we first started playing Farley's tune, I would get watered up and shake voice almost every night. Now that I've already done it, and I like the crowd, I know it's coming and stuff,

it's not, I don't have that same like I'm gonna cry right now, but when they cheer for him, it makes you cry. That's when you tear up people, oh, that's so fucking great, man, that they still go like that, or what he meant to their life and the visuals up there when they see Farley and see all the insanity. And I literally, I don't, I'd probably say maybe

10 good references of what he did, maybe 15. And then you go, well, there's actually about fucking a hundred more. And he was only on the show for what? Four, five years? Yeah. Like I do believe he's got the best. And I said it to Chris Rock a minute ago, the best best of tape, just for sheer power.

You know? Yeah. And it was, I don't know the time, because I left in 93 and, you know, he'd done the Patrick Swayze one. But then, you know, Van he done the Patrick Swayze one, but then you know Van down by the river and others. There's just an explosive this and a sweetness. He's just a one off Chris, you know. Wow. The whole world was pulling for every movie made.

Yeah, he was ridiculous. I you know boys we're supposed to come up with like one story to tell about Chris right. That's great if you have one. Yeah. I don't know what to say because I got I Got a lot of I wouldn't say because he they're fucking bananas, but but uh, but um it's it's funny I just hurl he just told me a funny one because I said what am I gonna talk about with Farley? I already said everything Yeah, and he goes and he goes I remember one time It's not really it's not really like a great farly story, but he goes I've ever one time It was like the show was right about to start and I was running somewhere and I go Where you run into and hurl he goes? Oh, I'm going to find far there go. Oh, yeah

What are you gonna tell farly goes? Oh, I was gonna tell him to take it down a little bit in this one part of the skin. I go and He's in her. He goes and you put your arm around me and you said don't do that Why why not I'm just one he goes he said I go for your own safety I said I go for your own safety. Don't tell for her. Thank you. Because then he's gonna go five times. Yeah. Five times bigger and he's also gonna fucking hate you the rest of it.

He's gonna kill you and anyone around you. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, shit. By the way, that Farley's selling out of him. I went in the dressing room every night. All five shows. I remember.

Oh, yeah, you didn't want to cry or you just. Well, it just gets me off guard. Even one line from it. You know what I mean? Like I don't know which one, but any of them. So I I say that I miss watching you fuck with Spain. There's a lot of them where I once I just hear the beginning. It's such a cool guitar beginning. I go, Oh no, that's it. And then I go in the back. Just almost by, uh, yeah, reflex. I just, I'm just going to go back here because I don't want to get into it. And I don't, and I am, I'm still a little immune to it like you are, like you're saying. But it just, it just, you can't help. Plus a song is so like hauntingly well done that all of it. And I don't see the pictures for sure. But I know you got one in there of norm now, which is cool. Yes, all man day, not the very end.

I say, I wish you was still here. You and I said, you and I say and you, me and Norm were getting on a plane to go shoot growing up three, right? And, but we have this shot. Uh, it's from Billy Madison and it's in its Chris and Norm sit next to each other eating sandwiches on the side of a bus and and and Farley's just laughing his balls off being a nut as the bus driver and Norm looks like he's smiling along with him but I'm a fucking norm always

loved Farley beyond anything. Like, well, God, man, he would always just phrase shit so nice about how great Farley was and how happened when fucking Farley would be doing a skit in some shit part of 8H where you're not supposed to like the bad part, but they don't hear you as good and visually to under the bleachers under the bleachers who are having you'd hear his fucking voice blasting out and destroyed nothing could stop. He had such a good voice. And we were talking about the one with that voice when he would play distress for laughs.

I did a sketch once with Chris and it was such a good sport. I don't know who wrote it, but he's like a fan of of Ross Perot and I'm like, yeah, I'm the greatest. Okay, you know, he's like So you won my autograph for some but at some point Ross pro says something like well, I'm your king I'm whatever and so Chris got on all fours and I was riding him and then he's doing his father And I'm going, go piggy boy, go piggy boy. And I'm spanking his ass and he's so committed. He just blew the roof off with just being under distress.

I can't, you can't, I cannot mimic his energy or that power of that giri had, man. Follow you. Yeah. energy or that power of that Geary had, man. Fuck yeah. Yeah, that's right. You know, Adam, I think you would understand this when people just in the last years, so ask me, when he did that chippin' ill sketch, you know, how could you let that happen because of he was took a shirt off and stuff,

and they go, that's so rude that you would make fun, they go, why didn't you stop that? I go, first of all, you think I'm gonna stop a guy from doing a sketch, it's gonna blow through the roof, like I'm They go, why didn't you stop that? I go first of all you think I'm gonna stop a guy from doing a sketch It's gonna blow through the roof like I'm gonna go and I'm a I'm a feature player. He was a cast member We it was very new it was his fourth show and it didn't even how about I also didn't cross my mind All I thought was this sketch is gonna fucking crunch and yeah It did but I'm like that's not my place. I'm supposed to go like Yeah, oh this is gonna ultimately like, that's not my place. I'm supposed to go like, Yeah, oh, this is going to ultimately hurt you

and break your heart and yeah, you never thought like that. You just, he was, he was so comfortable we're taking the shirt off and everything else off. Yeah. And if I'm taking off this clothes off and fucking be in loose and he, he, yeah, yeah, looking back at him, you go, shit, he was in a lot of pain and that was the way

he was dealing with it. Maybe I don't at him, you go, shit, he was in a lot of pain and that was the way he was dealing with it. Maybe I don't fucking know, but he, he, he, there wasn't one part of you that you'd be like, oh, I don't know Chris. He's in a long, exactly. I don't know if that's gonna, you feel good. I don't think at that point that Chris was much heavier than a lot of guys in the audience.

So he really, truly, truly, I mean, he was heavy, but he was so fucking athletic in that school. Yeah, yeah. He was moving and he was just an athlete who was, we were at Mohawk one time for a weekend Mohawk. We taught him so funny. Yeah. I retreat the best.

And he was the funniest part of that always. But we were playing football He fucking grabbed me one time and like we weren't playing tackle, but He grabbed me and like pretend that he was gonna tackle me and every fucking burger braid popped in my body I was just like good god. He grabbed me so hard. Yeah, and Yeah, he was he was a he was a brawler. Remember when Jay Moore kept saying I could outrest so you fall. Oh yeah, I would not get involved in this. And then Jay Moore, they were by the elevators on 17 on a writing night. Of course, everyone's doing anything but right.

And then Jay Moore and Farley's getting so mad because he goes, I could take you. And then I think Jay Moore goes at his legs and trips him down and pins him like right away because he wasn't ready and then he crawled on the elevator and it shut and Farley started screaming and J's like, I pinned you and he went bananas because he got him and I was like, oh my god, get away from Farley because he's going to kill the next person. Whoever walks down the hall, he grabs the horn. Just snaps Marcy and half. I remember he told me a story one time. I don't have no the exact thing, but I was in Madison one time with him.

And then he just talked about this story. He goes, I said, and we were talking about fighting. I said, he got in some fights. And she goes, and he pointed to the spot. We were walking. He goes, well, I mean, the boys that did a number of some fella right there one time.

I was like, oh, really? What happened? He goes, ooh, let's see. I think that fella said something bad about my sister Couldn't have any of that something like that I like that having boys me and the boys decided I want to have some boys We gave a weapon we didn't take a kindly to that You know actually with all young or sibling, you understand.

And it was a shallow grave. We did not dig it too deep because we actually wanted the police to find him and interview us and all boy, because we know how to tail fips in the south. I'm just gonna do that character for the rest of the day. I like it. I don't know. You're good to stay in.

You got to understand. Now Adam Sandler is what you call a superstar. They are stars and then the superstars and mega stars Now that's a Beyonce and these other kinds of people They be stadiums on multiple nights ability abolition what what have you but Adam is saying those are bona fide superstar But a mega star is another level, but I never I against him. Never better. He's been working towards you. He's graduating from sheds and he's going to be doing stadiums in Berlin next time you look at that boy. He loved Adam. Loved Adam. He was like in the guitar. Actually, one of the best

things he did was lunch lady land. Oh my God. That was amazing! He was the lunch lady. Yes, we... You know what's funny, boys? We did a video for MTV together first. We did a video for lunch lady land? Yeah, lunch lady land. He played the lunch lady in the video. It's somewhere and we did like a cool like a neat looking video that was like in the style of Pearl Jam or something like that back the day we took like the lunch lady video very serious and Farley was doing the funniest shit in that I think he came by for I think it was a one-day video shoot and he was a mad man and then and then he did it on the show when I kicked that.

So that was the best thing about being in a skit would bother you just felt safe. And you're like, what the fuck can kill? Yeah. You know, whatever. This thing's going to be just fine. He'll destroy and I'll fucking ride the wave with him. It was like being in the perfect wave. He would set a fucking nice whatever the fuck it was like being in the perfect wave. He would set up a nice, whatever the fuck it was.

He set this great pick for you. You'd be able to throw a layup in and go like, hey, I scored, but meanwhile, he did all the work, you know? And he would love to unprofessionaly try to make you laugh or anyone laugh in the middle of the city. When he gets close to your head and he crosses his eyes or something, because he goes, Davey, I can cross my eyes,

but the camera only sees one eye and so I can cross, and they'll never see it. And I'm like, God, what are you planning? Because he thought the ultimate victory is if you laughed, you know, it's always telling you, is it magical power? But he almost broke,

well, he almost broke you in, Peppervoy, with his, he had one line, well, thank you, Peppervoy. It was a 10 minute sketch. We were out there. Yes. Right. Well, thank you, pepper. It was a 10 minute sketch. We're out there. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, he played it. He went big on that. I wish Hurley he told him to take it down on that one.

But he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he did this other one. What the fuck else did he, oh, we used to do that corn, corn skit, Zaggits. And uh, he dressed like an old woman and I was an old man at stuff and he would always, he'd always grab my knee in the middle of his line, so try to shake me and fucking, I couldn't help but laugh. I just, I laughed every time I was with him.

I laughed during Billy Madison so much when he was the bus driver, we had like the light was going down. We had a few minutes to shoot a scene and he was out of his mind staring at me in the face and wondering what if he was doing it. And the camera was on the left side. I just kept making my head stare way off to the right because I couldn't room the take but laughing the whole. Oh, when he I told you on the tour when he goes that Veronica, he like stops you with his hand and then you're kind of looking away smiling because I go, were you gonna laugh because he's

going, is one piece of a piece of a piece of a piece of a piece of a piece of a piece of experience you. Oh yeah, he's like, yeah, and, and does that for half hour. Oh, you know, when he was turning dark red on the bus and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's hard, hard not to every story about him, you smile and he was ferocious, but even his bad moods looking back at him, you laugh your ass off with how viciously bad a moody would get. And even he would laugh at it. When I remember I'd come in and you two, David, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you You know, like you called them out on it and then he just break into an uncontrollable laughing fit me I'm like, yeah, you're right. Yeah, I was being a little pissy there. Oh my god. One time he left me the most violent Boyz-male and it was terrifying and I went to work and he goes

David did you get my joke boys? I go what? What? joke voice, but he's so psychotic and he goes David don't tell or I'm not telling when I went right to the fucking police Me and him used to do fucking I used to do fucking, uh, prank phone calls together. In Bernie's voice. In Bernie's voice.

And, uh, and do it for, uh, for, like, an hour at a time. And just in the office. Yeah, just, like, sitting in our office, calling random hotels, setting up, we used to, we used to call like, uh, we used to call like, like, uh, hip, uh, places like, uh, what the fuck was it? Lomba's or those kind of cool. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, the rainbow room. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Just places that's hot. We go to and we would fucking ask Bernie, uh to tell him to set up,

we need to take them tonight. You know, anyway, he would say something for stars coming. I need to take them from Madonna tonight for 25. And they'd be like, 25, at night a truck, and they would be like, oh, he's that's right in the heat of everything. That's a lot of.

I am if you want me to be done. She's got to put your face. You got it. We didn't say that, sir. That's a lot of people. We need to take a first thing now. She likes green beans. Have them ready.

And that is that's Bernie Bruce Dean, the talent manager of All Holywood, who's a very big Santa Claus guy who would if you had to knock heads together. It was a huge person. That's a funny take on. We are lucky enough to have Mrs. Farley on. Chris's mom and his oldest brother, Tom. And they're gonna tell us a couple things you might not have known about Chris.

Oh my gosh, here we go. Tom! What's wrong? Don't scare Mrs. Farley. Oh, God, mother. Hi, Mrs. Farley. How are you? I on, mother. Oh, I, I miss as farley. Oh, I hate this and Dane. You look, you look very, you look adorable.

I want to, I want to meet your dermatologist. You look incredible. You wouldn't like him out of the house. Now, he's saying it after he worked on me. You're fake. You know, so what's up? You're the only ones that can do a split screen, and I can't see either of you. But anyway, no, there you go. Don't hurt your neck, and I won't hurt mine.

Okay. Mrs. Farley Dana is the only one that sends me a Christmas card every year. She's so sweet. Oh, birthday. Yep. It was either a Christmas card or a birthday, David, you had a 50-50 chance and you blew it. No, no, I was tricking her to see if she's still got her

with the butter and you knew it. No, I don't know at all. But anyway, I was forgetting the one of you. You've got your marbles, I can tell just by looking at you. I'm gonna start before I rev you guys up. Right. And you don't even have to rev up and really do anything. Okay.

I went Dana, you know, I always eat early and I was eat quickly when we go out. So we always tell the story about Mrs. Farley that we all went to dinner once and we were all piling into the sushi or whatever, or the IV or something. And we're all sitting down and I go to the waitress, we'll get crab cakes and maybe a Caesar and she goes, oh, we're ordering. And then she goes, I need a menu, I need a set down.

I relate to that. So every time I start to order, someone goes, oh, we're ordering so soon. Because we would have normally, we'd sit for 15 minutes talk at the menus, but of course I was rudely called out. And I was really ordering and then she was very sweet to say, oh, I'll order. I just don't, I'm not seated

or I don't have a menu also. But now you should know that David, now he calls the restaurant while he's driving there. And what has done that? So the food is at the table when he arrives. Oh, David, that's, that's like, that's like something Megan Markle might do. When a man's got to eat, a man's got to eat David's food. Absolutely.

Well, mom's a nose that when it's go time, when it's time to eat, you know, in our family and in the food come. So I'm, I patented a new product on Shark Tank. It's called the Yuck bag. Oh no. We know all about the Yuck bag now. John's a show. Hello, this.

Oh. What I want to ask Mrs. Farley, because you have five children and you're feeding them. What was your go to meals that you would serve your family? Anything in the can. Casser,, in cans? Like can't we have we have five in our household as well. 1500 square feet, five kids, four boys and a daughter.

And yeah, there was a lot. If my mom was busy and I had a friend come over, she would say pancake batter and the fridge for dinner. Help yourself. Yeah, perfect. So we have pancakes for dinner sometimes. My mom was big on fish sticks. Oh, I like those two. Oh, yeah. I like those two. And well, the batter kind of, I didn't quite go

with the pancakes because I would never left the stove. Mom was the casserole and cheese casserole We had the yeah burger helper. Oh Absolutely Well, it was gone before I even sat down that I have to get back up again You're the skinny one because you're working and then you get the you get the last Dips of the food and there's no one is an Eli was there a fire sale in our house There was if we had sweet cereal like corn pops or sugar smacks or that, my brother Mark, we called him the human garbage disposal. Oh, yeah.

He would pour the whole thing and what you'd, it'd be a giant bowl you would do cake batter in and he would eat the whole thing. So there was a race for the sweets in our household. And well, if you got to be fast, if you're going to get absolutely, absolutely. Dana, I didn't know you had one sister and four brothers. A sister. Yeah, three older brothers, a younger sister, and my dad was a high school teacher. My mom was a preschool teacher and we were very, barely middle class, but we had a lot

of fun. But we had baked, we go the bakery and get the day old and sometimes the two day old and put them in the freezer To eat, you know, so I'm sure you guys had taste the same. Yeah So you had a lot of did you have a side of beef in a freezer in the in the garage or something? No, one time Tom my husband Tom Tom my husband Tom Brought a side of beef home and there was no place to put it. I had a small freezer except the dinner table Beef like crazy. No, he didn't have a big freezer. Yeah, that was

Difficult he just brought home a side of beef and handed you a machete Go to it mom Was he good? Was he good at chores around the house? Or lazy? Well, that was the problem. Like they, they, they would send us all, all the boys out. Like go shovel the walk or rape the leaves and it would end up with like, huge fight. Because somebody was, yeah, we were all coasting and slacking.

So lolly gagers and goldbrickers. Oh, lolly gags. We did it. We had the same thing. We'd have to go out and we would balance the tools. Oh. You know, we'd just have, and then when he'd come out the front door, we'd just go like, we're raking, you know, you did that too, Tom.

Yeah. We're out of that. We're doing it. Yeah. Four boys should have taken us 45 minutes. We're out of the fall after the long. Yeah, yeah, just just got a trimming, lawn mowing all of the No lawn mowing you didn't put it that that's a dangerous look. Yeah, that's heavy equipment. That's not that would be bad That was a little nervous about that power more in the hands of the boys that know

We couldn't do that one. Juggling? Not bad. We were just telling the story that Chris told me once when you were a typical story driving around and Dad was driving all of you and he goes, Mom, pull over, I'm hungry, I'm starving and you go, Christopher, you just ate an hour ago. And you have to go, ha, ha, good boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that always puzzled me because we'd have a late breakfast or something, 12 o'clock on the dot.

Where's lunch? Where's lunch? And I said, you just ate. But he's talking about it. But it says that my watch is 12 o'clock. I said, we're kind of, you know, the mind says I've got to eat it's 12. That's my mind. The cook says no. Yeah, the cook's got to take a rest. So is there anything you guys remember you wanted to say about anything you thought of that was interesting

story of funny story? It doesn't matter anything. You know, I had a funny, I had a question I was thinking, because mom all week was like, what are you gonna ask? What are you gonna ask? You know what, I've got a question. I have a question. Like for like 20 years, we were like used to Chris's, you know, all, you know, we were, you know, that was part of our life. We were totally used to it.

I'm like, my question is like, what was, what was your first impression like, like when this, when this got delivered Yeah, that's hurricane. Yeah, I Met him at the Omni hotel We were I was a featured player writer and I had done four shows and I came back over the summer and Chris and Chris rock were hired So I remember that's where they put us up. Soup was like eight bucks and Rob Shiner kept ordering

and I go, don't charge that to Lauren, we'll get fired immediately. So I had heard about Chris, I heard his audition was funny, I heard he was good, and I met him that first day, and I think we walked over together, and we just gravitated. He wasn't terrifying at first.

Oh, no, that's all, yeah. He's the most lovable, like fun, happy, Madison, Wisconsin guy, and then we, Midwestern. Yeah, I just went over and I was in Arizona, we talked about that and then we just sort of bonded, but he really took to everyone, everyone loved right away.

I think the funnier part is the people that went to college with him, and he was a little bit of a boozy, Susie, if I may be so bold. And those people going, I'm sure if you took a poll, who will not make it in show business in this school?

They would say, well, not him. He's not going to go anywhere. He's too crazy. And then he's the one that blows up the biggest, they must have been shocked. Yeah. Hello, but yeah, but he was just so, yeah, they always talk about like, they saw that he was definitely destined for something. He was different, but something.

He's the only cast member. I remember meeting Chris and was really just charmed by him and he was making me laugh. So I invited him home for dinner. My wife and I had an apartment on 84th and Broadway. I said, you've got to meet Chris. So she cooked a meal and we went over there and hung out with them. We just, and for that evening, we just met charming as you two are. Midwestern charming values and humility, you know. So we just took a liking to Chris right away. And then as time went on, I noticed his explosive talent, you know, the way he could go from zero to a hundred and he had a rhythm with his voice.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing comedically. Very, very smart about how to land jokes, how to move himself around. And so, yeah, I was just charmed by him, like I'm charmed right now. Yeah, definitely. The story before that omnipresent moment that you just described, what happened before that? No. So, I was working in New York. I worked at Paris Sternes.

So, I had an office on Park Avenue and Christopher Rolls in the town staying just up the street. And we had lunch. And he's about to go back to the hotel and he goes, you know, I don't have a paycheck yet. Can you, you know, let me just come off of starvation in that second city, so can I borrow some money? I'm like, okay, so I go to my ATM and the $300 I had in there.

I'm like, all right, here's 150, I know you're good for it. He goes, Dad said I should go to walk a fifth avenue. Where's that? I'm like, just right up there. So we walks up and I get a call like a half hour drive, 45 minutes later, it's like, yeah, Tom, I'm gonna need more money.

Like, what do you mean you're gonna need more money? I'm like, I was just walking on, Fifth Avenue, like, that told me. And I saw these guys playing cards. I'm like, oh, no, were they real? Yeah. And they were like playing this game and everyone was winning. I'm like, oh, no, were they real? Yeah. And they were like playing this game and everyone was winning. I'm like, yeah, okay. They're all all together. And I'm like, and some guy

person goes, you know, where the car, you know, the car is and Chris goes, yeah, and he goes, how much you got it? And I go, what did you do? He goes, I put down $150. Like the whole nut really, you just dump it up. And I lost it all. I'm like, okay, all right, come back. I'll give you the other, I'll give you the 150 in my account. And now walk up Madison this time. Like,

Oh man, that is definitely like green ink or just a fish out of water. But he learned. Yeah, sure. You're not a he-haw. But you know, you're Mrs. Farley, you were such a good solid person over there. I think he learned a lot. He's very polite to everyone.

He was very sweet to everyone. And he got that from home. Right. And he had his things. But down deep, he was very good boy, and everyone was really gravitated. Yeah, well, he knew how to test me, that's for sure. I could see through that. Like five or five or six-year-old Chris?

What would he do? Was he easily, would he take a time out or what? Oh, that was the vacation forum take a time out or or that was the vacation forum a time out. Oh, sure, that wasn't anything. And then when I'd get these calls from from Edward High School where he was, they said, Mrs. Farley Christopher's been naughty on the bus again. I said, oh, that's bad. And what did he do? Well, they explained and I said, oh, that's bad. And what did they do? Well, they explained

and I said, oh, dear, yes, you he'll be not able to ride the bus for a week. And I said, who are you punishing here? Me. I had to drive half across town every day because of his antics. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans.

Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans.

Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Shenan, yeah, he could do it. He wasn't any dummy. He could work people. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, he didn't.

He would go up the host and go, are you an A, A, A? I am too. And I go, Chris, how many times do you have to find some common ground so you can go have dinner with Sharon Stone? He's like, I know. He just finds, I have problems to you. Oh, I know.

Oh, boy. Mom, you don't understand me. You really don't understand me. I said, yes, I do, Chris. I said, oh, yeah. His mother wasn't born yesterday, I guess, but we had good times though. Good times. Oh, yeah.

He was. His use was fun. It really was fun. Oh, totally. He was. Yeah, it was his use was fun. It really was fun. Totally. Yeah. Usually big, big families. You guys would play games around. If it was a snowy day, I'm sure you would barrel with laughter at times.

I turn the furniture upside down and put sheets all over it. And oh, yeah, we did all that. Yeah, the, the, the four. The four. Yeah. And was there a movie like Tom Do you remember were there movies like we will had Jason the organ on since certain movies that would come on television We'd all gather around a Wizard of Oz was big yeah, so there was scared easily. I think though Yeah, but I was he was he he well was, he, he, he, well, the wicked witch is, was one of those terrifying characters. I think they watched a 10 times over.

But I was the bad weather. Oh, we don't go. Oh, I was the bad weather too. My older brother, my parents got a machine in the catalog and they put the, the plastic sheet on, he was on the upper bunk and it had a little machine. So then what is your I know but he went to bed so hard he ruined the machine he broke it the first well he went so much he would sleepwalk open the refrigerator door

and go peep in the end and the fridge so Tom I mean I I went to bed too and sometimes I'd wake up realize I wet it and then I would just get to the side of it and go back to sleep Yeah It was I had a lot of friends So it just meant we were deep sleepers. That's always that what it was Very deep cut off all liquids no liquids after six o'clock and that didn't work Yeah, no, I might get you might have had it. We didn't wet the bed unless.

Yeah, no, I don't call it on college for other reasons. He became a bed wetter later. Yeah, so just do it earlier. Either way, there's a lot of bed. I think some of the farges out too tired to wake up. A lot of new mattresses. A lot of new mattresses in the Farley household. You know, Mama Farley, when we were, he had, he lived at the Brawmly, what day does that where you lived? The Brawmly. Yes. The Brawmly. 84.8 floors. He moved in there and Broadway. And I think my ears love there too. And maybe Dennis, but it was a very nice. I live with main cast members in my building. Where do you live? What kind of shit hole do you live?

He's always chow. Yeah, he's always fucking fighting me about something. But it's always just like for fun. But I go, I know, he goes, you gotta come check it out. It's like go over there. And I notice there's no shower curtain. Oh.

So the bathroom soaking wet. And he goes, I go, I go, you don't have a shower curtain he goes, who needs that? Are you a girl? I go, yeah, I go, you know, a shower curtain goes, who needs that? Are you a girl? I go, I mean, I get that it's a hassle to go buy one. He goes, yeah, you want to go buy one for me? I go, no, and he goes, then there's no shower curtain.

He goes, you buy, yeah, I don't know what he's talking about. So he just has water everywhere, bit of a slop. That's a little bit of change. Yeah. It's just a pitch. Ohinseng. Just a titch. Yeah, my God. I did, but it was enough for like, because that was so opposite of me.

I'm like, and we had to share a bedroom. I'm like, I see. Oh, you're like that Felix and I. Oh, totally. And finally, I just said that's enough. Like that, find it up to like, we had to like find like another Roman house. And he went behind the furnace that was scary, right?

Oh, yeah, we were told. Yeah, yeah. that was great. Grand Wonderful. Need a guy in the world. No Com is so that must have been Yeah, we had all the boys downstairs. I always describe I spent my whole life trying to like live up to expectations Fuck told the line all and look behind me and this guy is like not only just tripping and falling over the line But like making friends everywhere and I'm like I didn't I never got that He's getting he's failing upward every time he doesn't like wrong He gets more famous and you're like what's going on? I'm dressing right. I'm studying. I'm neat and getting he's failing upward every time he doesn't like wrong. He gets more famous and you're like What's going on? I'm brushing right. I'm studying. I'm neat and then he's just the opposite and have

Sometimes more friends everywhere loves you know We had that green coat. I think and he'd go to church He don't he'd always go to church though. He'd always get that tie on I don't care if he's coming straight from the club. You're going to church And he would just put the tie and tie everything was tight Really tight and he put an overcoat sweater and a tiger god damn How do you get so many layers you can't move? I like to feel hugged and then he would go and then he go to church and come back I mean he he did look sharp though. He doll up. You taught him that. He would doll up for dinner. He's been layering.

Yeah. The word. I know he looked like layered ham. Yeah, he's the word. He was always layer that I have like the last year when I spent you the Tommy Boy jacket, David. Yes. Like the worst thing I ever did.

So I had Chris's time boy jacket and it was sitting in storage. I'm like, you know what? It's just sitting in storage. This is Davis moving too. So I like son of a- Very sweet, yes. Son of a son Tommy to walk it over. But before I did that, I'm like, I was hanging in my door.

I'm like, huh. And I took it off and put it on. And I was like, damn it. It didn't fit. I'm like, now I'm the big guy. In the little coat. I know that was really hard on you. That was about a difficult one.

You know what's funny? I told Dana that. I said, you know, Chris during Tommy Boy, because I had that jacket, and I really appreciate it because it's up on the wall here in the podcast room. It's just like the coolest thing in the world

to have the actual jacket from Tommy Boyd. And he was not that huge in Tommy Boyard. I mean, I was pretty teensy or thinner. He had big shoulders, but even he couldn't fit. I mean, I think it was gaining more toward the end, like he gained more weight, but back then, he was sort of known as huge and fat or whatever, but he wasn't, he was just kind of bigger,

and of course, toward agile, we've heard on everyone we've interviewed he's very athletic very yeah you know that yeah look was his arms were massive it was just so much it's like huge much like he goes this he goes like this hmm you like that why didn't you go did he live way sir was it natural mean, what did he get all those muscles for?

Was it rugby or, you know? Yeah, he was born with big, big shoulders. He was always lifting weights too. Yeah, he was a big weight lift for me. Was it wrestling? Oh, okay. Like that? But we lifted weights a few times together.

At the Bromley came over and there was a weight room there. Yeah, you could bench a hell of a lot of weight. Really? Really? He's the lady. Yeah, you could bench a hell of a lot of weight. Really? He's the lady. Yeah, put 250s on and put me. He was just organically strong. Yeah. Yeah.

David was more, David and I are more miniature that way. I don't know if I love the word miniature. Well, I was 138 when I was made Wayne's World 1. Whoa, I think I was 138 on SNL. Yeah, 135 club meet up. Stop. Stop. I beat boys.

What? Well, I'm almost as much as you. Oh, we're meant. We're tiny people. It doesn't matter. No, you look tougher than me. You can fit your fast. You can move on your feet.

You can swing. With a wooden spoon in your hand. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Would you whack them with a wooden spoon in your hand, yeah. Yeah, oh, absolutely. Yeah, would you whack them with a wooden spoon in your kitchen? Oh, I went through more wooden spoons and it wasn't cooking. Yeah, was it out of the blue, Tom? And you just hear, whack, what I do? Or we just, what?

No, we knew, no, we knew it was coming. Yeah, I would run to the drawer and open the drawer. And they go, what are you doing? We didn't do a side-zone. No, we did nothing. Nothing. And I'd raise the spoon. So you were the authoritarian in a way.

I mean, you were not afraid to get those kids alive. No, I was not afraid. No, no. Dad was just the voice. You know, he was avert. He would send you, like, he would stop your blood from just by yelling. Right. He was very respectful of the dad. Oh, yes. He was very. Yeah. Chris was not close. Yeah. Well, it was all new to us, all the SNL and the. Oh, it's the strangest, huge. Yeah.

and the strangest new to ideas. Yeah. I, I, I, yeah, it's such a strange bizarre thing to happen to your son. Well, beyond TV, all this said, isn't it? I mean, well, your brother, it's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. My, my father, when I brought him out from, after my mother and brother died, I brought dad over here to Madison.

And that was in 95 nursing home in Boston. So we were out here and I said, Dad, Christopher's on television. I said, let's watch a rerun here. It was during the day. And he looked and he kept looking at the screen. He said, is that Chris? I said, what's he doing up there? What's he doing up there?

He's on a show dad on television Trump Well, that's he said that all because Chris was always being Chris and my grandfather my Boston Irish grandfather would always like You're gonna be a bum. Yeah, quit doing that. You're gonna jump. You're gonna get a job. You got to get an education. Chris would laugh. It's Derek.

He loved it when Poppy would go to a jumper. Yeah. Yeah. I think he said that when he would even have movies, he would read. And you know, his dad, your husband, Thomas, not in show business, a normal guy and he goes, Dad, what do you think about this one? He goes, sounds like horse shit. Like he'd say, you're not going to jump around like a clown and this one is like, yeah, then he'd call Gervids and go, I don't think I want to do this one. He's like, what,

what are you are he doing? And he goes, no, my dad didn't like it. But that was a good one with Poppy. He never, he couldn't understand that one. Did he understand how, did he live long enough to understand how wealthy Chris became? Oh, oh, oh, oh. Because that's a different thing

from the Benjamin's. They can't get that. Yeah, they can't believe you're getting paid for this stuff. That's what they can't believe. Yeah, yeah. Like they pay you to do this. We never meant to.

You know the thing about water. Ha ha ha ha. Don't ever underestimate the value of water. Oh my God. That's a that's the quickest lawn that we've ever had. That's a actual clout. I did not make that up the side of it. Do not ever underestimate the value of me telling you the value of water. That was the extension. That was your floor. That was the extension. That was your floor. It was a six degree rob. Have you ever thought?

What do you say, Dan, when he left, he goes, you know, Steve said, when you retire, where are you going? And I said, I'm going up, you know, whatever you had some place. And he goes, will there be funny people there? And he goes, I never thought of that. I'm around funny people every day of my life, which is true. Yeah. And he goes, what if what if I wasn't at some point? And I goes, I never thought of that. I'm around funny people every day of my life, which is true. Yeah. And he goes, what if I wasn't at some point? And I go, God, that hit me too. I go, fuck, that's true. Everyone I know is good.

Look, we're talking a Rob Lowe funny. Just talk to Sandler, funny. Everyone we turn, everyone's funny. And then you go, oh, that happened. That happened when we were casting Wenzwold 1. Do you remember that? Inflation adjusted, $400 million global movie. But anyway, but I remember inflation adjusted

as big Rob. Don't tell me you don't go back and go, that was a fucking hit. But I remember we're talking about that character that Rob did so brilliantly in the show. And Lauren said, all Rob blows available. You know, and Mike and I looked at each other and said, hell yeah, so anyway.

The rest is history. The great Rob is joining us as we celebrate our friend Chris Farley. And here we are and how are you Rob? How's your day? I know you're working right now, right? I am. I'm on, I'm shooting season four of Fire Town.

I'm on Star. Damn, it's already season four. Season four and we come, we're on in end of January, we begin on the air. And I'm on the set, I'm in my trailer. I told everybody on the set, walk away because I'm doing something important. You are.

And go ahead and talk to my two buddies about my third buddy. That's what we're doing. important. You are. You are. You are. And go ahead and talk to my two buddies about my third buddy. That's what we're doing. That's what we're here for. Well Rob, you can open with a story about him or we can just talk about it, whatever you want to do. We can talk about your interaction.

Where did you first meet him and what were your thoughts? I remember there's certain people you vividly remember the first time you meet them. No disrespect to either of you and I love you and your legendary figures. I don't remember the first time you meet them. No disrespect to either of you and I love you and your legendary figures. I don't remember the first time I met you. I do remember the first time I met Farley. It was at Lawrence Wedding to Alice. Whoa, what? And I was headed out to the porta potty and there was this large person sweating buckets stuffed into a madras stuffed we know what madras is right madras is a particular pattern um colorful uh sport coat and pacing up and down and i just like wow they i'd better

see florida security because this is this person can't be invited life come to find out that that was chris farley so we had no interaction but he made such a visual impact on me and then uh... the next time i met him he was doing a bit in was it wanes world one or two uh... i think i wasn't even both of them i think he was in both he was doing a bit and was it Wayne's World 1 or 2, Dana? I, God, wasn't he in both of them?

I think he was in both. He was like, yes, it was first. He was backstage at Alice Cooper. That's what it was. Backstage, yeah. And I was like, hey, you're the Porta Potty guy from Roller and Sweatin. Great.

You're doing a little thing in the movie, good for you. And then, of course, Farley became a very big star and Lauren and I were playing tennis with the late great Bernie Brilstein and Lauren said there's a new idea for a movie. It's you and Farley as brothers. Oh right. right. And I went that's super funny And then I didn't hear anything about it for months and months and months and then Lawrence like so the movie is coming together and we want to talk to you about it and now it was They realized that spade is way more funny than me. So spade was the second banana But I still was the brother and Tommy boy, as you know, and then I, you know, then we had great great stories. I have great stories of shooting with you Spade and with with Farley.

Do you remember that we either the day we went to the Steakhouse together? Do you remember that? Yes, it's barbarian. It's in Toronto. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Toronto. So, you know, it's farly loved to eat, loved his steak. And so I remember he ordered two, two, full, porterhouse steak. So porterhouse is a New York steak and a filet on the bone. He ordered two of them. And then this was like an old school steakhouse, like really super old school with the vinyl leather red booze and they serve you butter that's in these squares that you have to peel off.

Paper on top. Yeah. The paper on top squares, right? Yeah. He put a square of butter on top of every bite. And the bites were generous. How many pounds of meat are we talking about? Approximately between the two porterhouses. So you took like, are they 16 ounce? Oh, you'll be eight. I'm sure they are 18 houses. Yeah, sure. Yeah. And so a square on every, not every stake, every bite.

Every bite. And I was so horrified. And I looked, I remember looking over at Spade. Spade just gave me that look like, what are you gonna do? You know what I mean? And I said, Chris, what is happening? And I'll never forget it. He held up his fork, steak on the fork,

butter square on top of the steak, and he goes, he goes, it needs a hat. He stops it down his gullet. And did it kind of look like a little hat on the stomach? Yeah, he was right, right? He was a little butter hat. Yeah, it was a butter hat. That's very Chris. Yeah. Rob was there for the great tuna sandwich debacle. Actually, you're the reason that's right. You were the reason to, okay, what's the tuna sandwich

I'll play along to the sandwich debacle. Oh, Danny, you're not going to pull that out of me. So what happened? I'm intrigued by the title. I'm begging you, Spade. Well, I think we've talked about it with Rob before, but you know, we were always on edge. We were flying back and forth from SNL, and every two days, you know, it's doing re-throwing SNL, then we fly after re-throwing and we shoot for Rob, unfortunately,

it was sort of how to deal with this schedule with us, because we were going back and forth. So he'd maybe do a scene with Bo Derek with us because we were going back and forth. So he'd maybe do a scene with Bo Derek and then we'd come in and do a scene with them. And then we were getting short on patients with each other, just with everything, you know, just stressful. And then he felt sick. The short version is he felt sick and he goes, I don't feel good and we got a shoot in

the morning. I'm just going to go right to sleep. And so I got in and Rob was there and I think we talked and said, let's grab a beer or something. We went just to the four seasons, just to the bar. One drink and went in like we got a shoot at five a.m. or whatever. So it was it was absolutely nothing. And the next day he's glaring at me in the in the mirror and makeup. You know, you can bank off the mirror and see the other guy. And I'm like, hey, everybody and he's just staring at me and he's biting his lip. You know, he does that Dana like you know, you can bank off the mirror and see the other guy. And I'm like, hey, everybody. And he's just staring at me and he's biting his lip. Mm-hmm.

You know, he does that, Dana, like you know you're in trouble. And he goes, how's Rob Lowe? How's Rob Lowe? I go, what's going on? And he goes, how's Rob Lowe? I go, where's Rob Lowe? I don't know. I don't, is he in today?

And then everyone's sort of like back soft, because he wants to be a fight. I'm like, I don't know what's going on. And he goes, we find out as he was mad that Rob Lowe and I went on a date basically without him and we didn't call him. And I said, but you said you were sick. You said, you don't call me because I'm going to bed.

And then he goes, you fucking call me when you have beer with Rob Lowe. You run it by me and I go, what Rob Lowe, you run it by me. And I go, what? And so then you run it by me. Yeah, let me say no, I'll say no. And I go, okay. And then we're on the set. And he keeps staring at me.

And I'm freezing, waiting to enter with Rob Lowe, who's inside with, I think, Brian Denny and Bo D'Eric. And the scene, and I'm shaking, because it's fucking 12 degrees. And I'm on the bottom of these stairs or whatever and I'm biting this tuna sandwich and he's staring even he's so mad that I'm not fighting back he just walks over and steps on my hand and my sandwich and crunches everything I go what the fuck and then I threw my diet coke on him and then he pushed me down the stairs and then they go action on the walkie and we both freeze and then we both just walk into the scene.

And then I was the push that cracked first because I'm just staring. But there's too much going in my head, like what's going on? And then so I just go and then beat the director, it goes, line for spade. And then I go, like I know my lines, I just like, I don't know what's going on.

We're in the middle of a fight. So I left and went to my trailer. And then I think, Robber's someone talked to Chris, and then he went to his trailer. It just a big mess on the set. I go, this set's gonna be closed down. It was closed down for about 20 minutes, and then they're like, we got a call from Lauren.

Get the fuck back to the set and figure it out. We're like, ooh. I remember it. I remember it like it was yesterday. I can see it. I can see him with those. He always with his awful red wing boots. Remember? God awful boots and those tuna crunchers. I remember him. He crunched your tuna. I mean, and my fingers. So what was it like from your

point of view, we're hearing about this, like the stars are fighting. I think David's leaving out a very salient point. And this is what sent Chris over the edge. I think Chris probably would have been okay with us, you know, just down in the bar catching up. My recollection of it is we went to the hot tub. We went to the jacuzzi. Oh, mistake. We went to jacuzzi. Oh Mistake we went to jacuzzi and the notion of you and I and a jacuzzi

Without him was too much room to bear with too much room to bear. Yeah Oh, yeah, the fun the funny picture the FOMO was he was foaming with FOMO. He couldn't fucking deal and I said it wasn't even fun. I was trying to really I was it was literally like an affair and we got caught And I was trying to back my way out of it and he's like you're lying And then later when he was talking about that Where you wish Rob Lowe was on our flight that so that was for about a year About him mad about he was proprietary about. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And, you know, but I think he, he loved Rob being in the movie and he did love, and he loved Bo, of course. And the movie really just, we got lucky. We got Farley, the 24 hours a day, which was the gift. It was a gift. You know what's insane is, as you know, we all do lots of things and you never know what's gonna stick, but Tommy Boy, like when we were doing Wandsworld,

we kinda knew that was a thing, and I mean, we didn't know it was gonna be a big hit, but it was like, whatever, but Tommy Boy was always this kind of, it wasn't a very Saturnat live-esque movie, really, because it had way more heart than that and But Tommy boy has become as you know this this just unbelievable Part of people's lives. I was I was getting to know Jonah Hill recently and Jonah in all seriousness

Not a bit We'll tell you that it's his favorite movie of all time period Period We'll tell you that it's his favorite movie of all time period Period, yeah This is my ears things about time. We're Pete Seagull says every ease of director He goes every job I've ever gotten is just all they have to see in the resume is Tommy boy And that's all it he goes you got it. You can do it if you can do that You can do our comedy. What do you think I mean? I'm mixing on watch it again I remember it being just really a special

Movie but Matt really were my I think I need to see it tonight. Something happened in that movie, the chemistry between the cast and, you know, it really was, it set Chris up, right? Chris's, all his strengths were on display. Yeah. So it was like a coming out of introducing everyone that doesn't watch us now to Chris and backed up by Rob and me and Bo and Brian and everybody just sort of orbiting around him and just letting him do, but it was smart. They got hard in there and they got the bagpipes and there's just some things there you don't see coming and then it all works out.

So I don't know what it was, but it got really lucky. What do you think it is, Rob? What do you think the magic is? I think it's what, because I asked Jonah that, and listen, Jonah's one of the smartest, funniest dudes around me. He's a great actor. I mean, he kind of looked like a real actor.

I'm probably a director now. Yeah, really great. So I asked him that, it's his favorite movie of all time. So it's like, what is it? And he goes, he says, for me, it's like that scene where Chris is alone sort of praying in the sailboat. Yes. I remember he goes, I remember it making me cry

in the theater. And, you know, and listen, I love our Wayne's world, and I love our Austin Powers movies, but they're making you cry. And I think that was the special sauce. Yeah, and Chris had that gear, you know, that empathy, likeability, whatever you wanna call it, you know,

that you would take that ride with him effortlessly. But I remember that scene myself as being kind of like, whoa, this is, this is unique for a comedy. With so much great slapstick or physical comedy in it. Man with a little coat. I mean, that's did, was that it? What did he rehearse it or did he surprise you with that? You know, Pete, Pete has a lot of stories. And I think we see it all from our own recollection and some are different because they just are. I don't know. We never really know what's the real.

But I remember certain things and I remember, but I remember doing that at work. And then in the movie, sometimes when there was flat spots because it was a movie about breakpads, that there was room for like, hey, maybe we could spice up this breakpads that there was room for like, hey, maybe we could spice up this breakpads speech and say housekeeping or we could say something else

that and Pete was very good about saying, try it. Like I don't know. Or even sometimes people would say, especially I think with housekeeping, he's like, I don't really get it, but try it. If you guys think, and if it doesn't work, we take it out. And that was a big agreement. Like let's just try stuff and't really get it, but try it. If you guys think, and if it doesn't work, we take it out. And that was the big agreement. Like, let's just try stuff and it doesn't work. Take it out. And that's how a lot of movies have done it since

and maybe before that, but it's a great way to do it. Because if you have an extra couple minutes, throw every fucking thing into wall while you're all lined up, you're all in makeup, you're all there, you'll never be there again. Try anything you can. And he did, we got so much out of Chris of, just coming, memory came to the door, Rob. I don't know if you were there that day. So I go housekeeping, he comes up, and the big decision was,

he's in tidy whiteies with like, granemals on him or something. And the next one, he's just in a towel. And the next one, he drops, telling he's totally naked. Right. So we had to pick, which is the funniest one. So we just do the same scene over and over

and then you go, it's so sad because they're all funny. Two, we're gonna get scrapped. No one will ever see them. I saw Daly's years later, I think Pete had and it was him swinging his dick around because when they go, they don't yell cut. He goes, oh Richard, hold me here. What, I don't yell cut he goes oh Richard oh hold me or whatever don't run for your feelings and then I slam the door and and he turns the camera

and he swings his dick around he goes hi Sherry Lansing. The president paramount. The president. Oh yeah. I'm like Chris he what if she's watch she has to watch Daly's or she watches some or some of the, so funny. Well, Robbie, thank you for talking to us. We all love Chris and I know you did.

And you're a big, big part of that memory, especially with Tommy Boy. I mean, that's the one thing. Believe me, I hear about it every day too. People come up to me all the time and say, do you ever eat paint chips as a kid? That's a big one. Big one.

There's a lot of them. These shoes are worth more than your life. There's a lot of good quotes. By the way, what about, I mean, we're talking about Chris, but Rob's unsung laughs because Chris, you can't even get attention from him But your shirt getting sucked off. I when I saw the daily is I go you're out of your fucking mind. Is that how? How did you do that? I couldn't believe that's not a trick. Didn't you just do it?

That's one of my proudest on my real it's one of my proudest comic moments. It's It's so dumb. It's like this cool guy gets so humiliated and then tries to shrug it off it. It was a really elaborate special effect. And that shirt really does get ripped off of me. It's not CGI, it's nothing.

And you're talking, you're with Julie Warner, right? That's right, I'm with Julie Warner trying to hit on her. I'm just this scuzzy, sleazy dirt bag. And I'm like, well, I guess I'll catch you later, baby. And my shirt gets sucked up when those pneumatic, you know, this old school pneumatic male tubes where they go, shump goes up. Yeah, they take stuff up.

Does it come off the top of you? I don't know. It looks like it's just, brrr, I have a button down shurning it, brrr. So the button then goes, it's like a double whammy. That's funny about it. It's gonna, brrr, brrr.

It's off me and then, brrr. It's up the fucking tube. It's one of my favorite physical things I ever got to do. Jonah Hill has good taste. Like that is brilliant. Yeah. All right, I love you boys.

Talk to you soon. Eric Newman was an assistant to Chris and I on the movie Tommy Boy. He is now a big producer on the shows like Narcos. I don't know. Did we met in 93, right, or did I already know? No, we met in 91. 91. So what years were you on SNL?

Well, I was a, I had been a PA on Wayne's World. Yeah. Oh, so I, okay. But I wasn't, you know, I was, I was, you know, there was a privileged group of PAs that were assigned to you. I kind of had Mike. And so I, I was, you know, getting shot. And I would see, I would see, I remember actually, because I'm still

fun to think back on that time with this assignment, you know, with Chris and mine. But I thought about when I was thinking about, you know, seeing you, it was always like, it was like, you were putting on a show for the people around you. I was not one of them. I was, would walk past and watch you, um, making everyone laugh when I was going to get a sandwich for Mike. Damn. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember that I would make everyone laugh and I can see you walk by and I would

know what's up with Newman. But anyway, well, party on. Party on. Party on. Thanks for joining. Thanks for having me. I came to the show in the 93 to 94 season. And I think you had just left or were leaving like in spring or something right before the McCartney episode where Chris did his. Yes. So when you write this, you know, you left during

the season? Yeah, we didn't have no one's playing instruments singing. I'm not dancing with Lauren. You just kind of go out the back door. They go, good, good, good, written later. Look, my choices around that time is for another podcast. Let's just say that I was a pretty naive young man. But so you got there and you're, you there and you're working on the show.

Yeah, I was Lawrence. I think Lawrence's idea was, because I wanted to, you know, I wanted to make movies and I didn't know then that TV would become what it became. I was like, well, I'll go, you know, movies are where it's at. And I went, I came to the show, I think his idea was, where it's at. And I came to the show, I think his idea was, I would get to know the cast, and then I would help him make his movies. And you know, Lauren, as he does now, then he had tremendous power.

He was able to, he was the only producer for whom you could make a movie during the SNL season, and he would just kind of make it get work. And I came out there and and we were developing Tommy Boy at the time and and the plan was during the season we'd make that movie and and he was able to arrange a way where and it was it was brutal. David, you'll remember the our our plane our little jet We had that was the shittiest plane that oh I hate bad private

Terrifying these are he was yeah, it was a MRI with wings. Yes, basically. What was it? Oh, was it a prop plane? No, it was in an actual little jet what a layer layer 35 or something Yeah, like a Sessna like smaller. Yeah, but I mean, this is the three the 90s and so I mean this thing was like barely flight rated. Yeah, we would get on it. You know, this our schedule is basically. Hey Newman, what do we get on?

Because it's so small. It's just me probably me you and Chris. Yep. And he sort of on? Because it's so small. It's just me, probably me, you and Chris. And he sort of had to keep it on I honest. And then I get on the pilot shake my hand, Newman gets on it, Chris gets on, they go, uh oh. Yeah. No, they would have, they would maybe have to have to sit in the back or something like that.

They're thinking about balance. Yeah, they want to make sure the weight's all perfect. Go ahead. Well, that was really my job. Lauren said to me, he's like, you know, look after David and Chris, but really Chris, you know, it was like, it wasn't really. Everyone has a Lauren. Everyone's actually, you're exact. And that was really, that was really good because it was understated, but, but

very real. It's right. You know, Rob Lowe has a really good Lauren. By the way, you have a phenomenal Lauren. I know. But his, his lore is really good. And it's kind of what he chooses to say with it. That's so good because there are certain things that just sound like they'd be, you know, things lore on the say. But that was, he's like, you know, really, you know, it's really about Chris, you know, he's, you know, and at the time, and I, you know, not a lot of people remember that this sort of period of Chris from like, I guess it was, must have been 93 to 96 when we made these movies, David and Chris and me and the others. Chris was totally sober in this period, you know, if you.

That's what I thought, because he seemed so great in Tommy Boy. I couldn't imagine he was using. No. He wasn't't bloating the face or like, bleary. And just on point. We were and we were together all the time as if my job was to look after him. David was, I don't know if this has changed, I doubt it has. David is the only actor I've ever worked with, even since, who was looking to get out of scenes.

Anytime David could say, hey, what if my guys, what if my guys not in this scene? How about the one I'm covering up? And I remember, you know, we would, we would take this plane, you know, and the schedule basically was,

we would fly to Toronto on, you know, from Titoburg, I report in New Jersey, we'd fly the Toronto on, you know, from Tita Burr-Hileport in New Jersey, we'd fly to Toronto and we would shoot Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning, we would fly back for the re-through. We would do the re-throughs. Then we get back on the plane, fly up, flashbacks, shoot Thursday, Friday, and I think Friday night would come back and join rehearsals or, you know, Chris and David, I would just watch and then do the show. And then oftentimes we would, I don't know why we would rather than go back to our apartments and go to sleep

on Sunday, we would fly back Saturday night after the show. And we did that for. Wow. Yeah, we did it for, you know, at least, you know, that. It's sometimes new and I remember one time we did that. We had to fly back after the show. I think we just did, but Sunday morning we had a scene in Tommy Boy where Roblo were inside an auto plan. It's Zelinsky and Roblo gets hit in the balls.

And we only had that, I think, for Sunday. For Sunday. So I think we shot 24 hour. That was one night we broke some rules because we just kept shooting. And I'm like, I think we're, are we gonna keep going? And they went like Sunday from 7 a.m. And then it was just 7 p.m.

and then it went and I was like, oh boy. Oh god. That was the acroid. That was the, that was the, yeah, that was it because we only, yeah, that was it, because we only, yeah, it was a functioning plant that we could only shoot on Sunday.

Yeah, it was brutal. And it was fun. And at that, I was probably 22 years old. So I could do it. You really helps in those situations. Yeah, it was, I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

It was, but that's, it was brutal. It was crazy. And I thought, you know, we had this, this plane and it was, you know, we had this plane. And it was, you know, in those days, you could smoke on the plane. So Chris smoked anywhere.

And we would, you know, play checkers. I don't know why didn't, and checkers to me isn't even really a game. It's more, it's kind of like playing like coin toss. It's like, you know, it's like a time killer for sure. I guess there's not a 12 move ahead. Yeah, really. No. And there's no Bobby Fisher of checkers. Yeah. But for some reason, we would play. I never played with David,

just he was, you know, he knew it was a waste of time, but Chris, well, he was a chess champion. Yeah. And it was the old saying I was playing chess and they were their box checkers. Literally. And yeah. And I David was plotting to get out of scenes while you guys are playing Joe is I was highlighting the script going there or need me in this I don't need to have that interest I go I beat I beat Chris like Ten times in a row. I mean just would literally is like wait. Yeah. Oh man

And you know he started getting matter matter and then at one point He screamed at me. He's like you never move your back row. He took the checker table over. He would get, and he was very aware of his sort of, you know, how funny his temper was. So it would always kind of become a joke. But yeah, David, you remember when, when David, again, trying to get out of work or at least knowing when work was coming, David would ask me for a day out of days schedule. Oh yeah, I love that. And day out of days.

Yeah, so day out of days is, you know, is, you know, for those who don't know, is it's a single piece of paper that has sort of almost a graph on it that will tell you like when you're working. You can look at it, you can find the app. Monday through Friday, you go, you are. Spade works, Farley works.

Yeah, it's not. And they're not that easy to read unless you know, know how to read them. But so David and I are, I've got one and David's got one and Chris sees that like here's this thing that he doesn't have. And he, he tears mine out of my hand and he says, he says from now on anything David gets I get. And he looks at it, he looks at it on my turn sideways,

can't figure it out. And then he's upside down. And then he pretends to fall asleep. You know, he used to, I remember one night we were flying on the plane. For everybody's David, you weren't there. You had successfully gotten out of whatever it was that we wanted to do. And we're on the plane and it's three in the morning and it's dark.

And I'm asleep or at least half asleep, my eyes closed, and the light turns on. And I can hear Chris trying not to laugh. So I'm like, oh, I don't know what this is going to be. And I turn over and Chris is laying, stretched out on the chair next to me, totally nude. And he had taken our clothes and he's waiting for me to notice him but like you know it was the most you know botched joke everybody's really really want to check our own eyes dick he um he had done this thing to me before we before we started uh Tommy Boy there was you know you know you guys have talked a lot about

Astonale on the show obviously, and so people know that there's a dress rehearsal, and then there's sort of an hour in between, and then there's the live show. And they're virtually the same show except things get cut based on time or performance. And Chris had gotten a sketch cut that he was excited about. And I remember I saw him outside a Lauren's office on the ninth floor, the office that's just above eight, I guess it's the ninth floor. And he was at Chris's upset.

And I was in the hallway with a loan and he said, you know what, fuck this, like I'm done, fuck this. And you know, the show was starting. And he walked out of, you know, down the hallway to the elevator, pressed the down button, and got into the elevator. And I got in with him because I was like, you know, it was, it was a little bit like my favorite year, you know, like I had to follow, you know, it was it was a little bit like my favorite year, you know I had to follow you know Peter O'Toole round and I couldn't yeah, yes exactly and I I couldn't you know, I didn't have a cell phone

But we get into the elevator and you know at 30 rock they have all the monitors in the show I can see that the show has started and Chris and I are now going down the you know, we're in the elevator We've we've exited in the lobby. And I said, Chris, what are you doing? Like we're here. Do you have like maybe, you know, there's the monologue and then like, you're in the first sketch. And he's like, I'm going to go to, I'm going to go to the avenue and score.

Like I'm like, fuck this. We're going to go to the Barneystone. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, I can't, like this is, you know, this is, this will be bad for you. It'll be really bad for me. Chris will be fine. You'll get fired. Yeah, exactly.

And I'm like, and I don't know how, like, we passed the security guards downstairs. They're like, hey, why is Chris Farley in some type of costume walking out? That's a pill. And then the, yeah, exactly. I think he was like a bummer. He was something. And then, and it was like, is this like part of the show? I'm like, no, I'm like, it's not part of the show.

And I don't know how to call for help. And we get out on the fifth avenue. And he, and he hails a cab. And I'm like, I'm Chris, please don't do this. And he's like, no, fuck this. The cab pulls up, he opens the door. And I'm thinking, do I go with him, do I run upstairs, I can't,

I don't know, I wouldn't even know who to get to. And he opens the door, and then he's like, I'll just fuck with you, shuts it, and we get back in the elevator, go upstairs, and he goes out right in time to go on this sketch. And I had forgotten it, it was so trauma-time. It was a practical joke. Until, yeah, it was the meanest trip to joke everybody.

But I think after that, because that was before even talking about, I think he was like, okay, this guy can, I like this guy. Like he's, you know, he went on the whole ride with me and I wouldn't. He didn't lose it. No, he didn't lose it. I had a problem with him. So you're 22 years of age. And what do you, I mean, the psychological jiu jitsu that you're being asked to, to be

knowledgeable about, I mean, I guess Lauren and Tudor that you had kind of a high social IQ or something. Yeah. I mean, like, like a lot, I would say like most of the people who have my job, like by the way, my daughter Sarah has my job now at Saturday live with 30 years ago. Oh, really? Hi Sarah. Yeah, hi Sarah. Um, she out trying to score with one of the performers.

She watching, she watching Colin Joestar. Yeah, it's basically. Yeah, she's, uh, she's, uh, she's, I think she's attached to the writers. Mm hmm. She's probably safer than being attached to the talent. As I was, Dana, whenever they said, where's Farley and they go he went down to 9th Avenue everyone knew what that meant. There was a there was a person's name that when they said he's with that person I go oh boy because everyone knew that's he's it was the Blarney Stone I think or one of those Blarney Stone bars go meet yeah but I had I think you know I had been a you know a family friend of Lauren, my dad and Lauren,

you know, my dad was the musical guest to the second show. Your dad is a random man. Just for our front. You know, you fought, you're from, that's what I didn't know if you wanted me to say, but you're from a famous family. So at least you have been around it enough to know something. So you're not just totally. No, I wasn't like a 22 year old regular.

No, not regular, but I actually really appreciate, I guess, appreciates throwing bad behavior is sort of entertaining to me. It always has been, you know, when I was out, I would encounter it. And, and, and so when it happened attitude, yeah, I just never, you know, I never, you know, I was, I was never shocked by it. I did, uh, I did work very hard. Like I, I, and I felt like I had sort of the, the, I remember the first day of Wayne's world, you know, and I was in college as a summer, you know, it was a summer thing. You know, I had to go meet Lauren at the parking gate at Paramount, you know, where he had driven and he was driving one one of those new 500 Mercedes, the convertible that no one had yet. And it's like, I'm over here.

I don't use the parking card. I go out there and I stand in the guard, and it's like, hey, you can't do that. I was like, trust me, I can. It's a half tube. A half tube. And so, I used the card to let him in. And he's like, what's going on?

Like, give me, like basically, like brief him. But I brief him while he continues driving in about 12 to 15 miles an hour. So I'm running alongside. And talking about your war. Telling Lauren, well, today you have this. And I think he's like, my like, this guy, he'll do it, I'll send him in.

And I think I was sort of, you know, you could kind of send me into the machine gun, I guess. And I think maybe he knew that. And so I, and at SNL, it was great. I know that I was telling my daughter that when you're there, even if it's a great year, everyone talks about how shitty the show, if it's a great year, everyone talks about how shitty the show.

If you're on the show, everyone was like, we were, you know, we're not, you don't realize you're part of it. It's not cool anymore. No, and then you look back to see, you know, it was you guys and it was, I think rock had just left, but it was, you know, Sandler, who I saw yesterday at a farm shop. And it was, you know, Sandler, who I saw yesterday at a farm shop. And it was Mike and it was Phil's last year on the show. It was just phenomenal, like golden air on the show, but when you're in it, it's always kind of, you know,

I always saw that when I came back to guest host, I was just in a room hanging out with Farley, David, maybe rock, and Sandler, and they were just so fucking funny. I just thought they were the funniest group of people and so talented and smart. So that's why they got the name, the bad boys. Yeah, right. Yeah, it was it was it was it then it was Saturday night dead. Yeah, there was that, you know, I guess there was a review and there also there had been

a book had come out that it's sort of, you know, I went to see Lauren a couple weeks ago because you know, to visit my daughter and it's unchanged, you know, pretty much just really. It's he's figured it out, you know, attention. And never, never did a new theme, never did a new format. He was very smart about his brand. It's what they do. Do you remember Dana when the new maybe you just left the New York magazine? Yeah, I remember that. R was embedded with us. And then the guy rat fucked us and wrote a bad article and everyone was on. Yeah. Up on 17 going. That's when Farley and Santa are like, let's go beat the fuck out of the sky. And there was definitely a long conversation about how to do that, because... Why did you go on?

Yeah, barley was leading the charge. That was your family, yelling. Yeah, I think it wasn't risk getting fired, but everyone was so felt so betrayed. Oh, I remember that. That's the article. That was that year, because I remember that guy was around. Yeah, I'm out of the name.

And I had never seen anybody let in like a Monday meeting or really on the inside. Everyone's kissing his ass. And then he's like, these fucking dipshit. And we're like, Oh boy, uh, uh, this, we just got welcome to show is. Do you remember David when, do you remember when we saw Bon Jovi at the airport? Remember that? It's the private air. It's the great. It's so we're so we have this like I said, we had this shitty little plane. Chilope and you know, barely hold you know, duck. So I get like, you know, literally the parts like, hey, guys, can what have you hold on to that? Like, the animal all we've left.

So we have to duct tape the wings one around. Yeah. And every once in a while, we would get a different plane, but it was never a better plane. But one day, we're at a world of the way back to SNL from from from the back to New York. And we're in that little private air terminal. And this beautiful plane is wheeled out like this. It's like a G4 brand new at the time. Golf stream. And, and we're like, wow, like, like, like, clearly, like, you know, what are we doing? Like, our plane was like, that plane had a baby. Yeah. And so we think for a minute,

maybe that's our plane. And then they're like, no, that's not your plane. And out walks John Bon Jovi and the other bunch of the only other guy whose name I know Richie. Richie Samora. Yeah. And they're, that's their plane. They're rock stars. Yes. And they see Chris and David. Yeah, and they're, that's their plane. They're rock stars. Yes. And they see Chris and David, and you know, than the way that famous people always come to each other, like, oh, hey, man, that's like, you know, and right on to our plane comes out.

And Vagility looks at it and he goes, is that at your plane? And they're like, yeah, you know, kind of, you know, like already braced for, you know, that's like, sound effect. And it's like, and he's like, oh, he's know, like already braced for, you know, the sound effect. And it's like, and he's like, oh, he's like, wow, you guys should, you should come with us, like, you know, and we're, and at that point, you were kind of insulted and, and, you know, Chris is like, nah, no, we're good, dude.

And Bajavi gets well, good luck and gets on his plane and flies away. And a number of years later, I don't think David, I ever told you this, a number of years later, I had a meeting with Bajo, you know, his manager, I think it was Michael, I was like, Michael Rodenberger, somebody said, Hey, will you meet John? He's, you know, he's, he's acting and, and he's not a bad actor at all. And I had this meeting with him. And I reminded him like, you know, yeah, we, I said, I met, I met you at the, like, you know, yeah, I said,

I met you at the airport with, you know, Farley and Spade, he's like, and he immediately was like, you know what, he was, I think about that sometimes because I think I came off sounding like a dick and I seriously didn't meet you in the moment. I got on the plane, I was like, why did I say that? And I was like, wow, like turns out great guy. You know, like even Davis shit, or you can remember.

Yeah. So yeah, it's probably an awkward joke because he probably was kind of comedians who are famous are intimidating as well. Yeah, because they have X-ray vision. They're seeing the whole playing field. But God, that's amazing. Yeah, it was cool.

It was fun. We used to go to what what was the barbarians? Chris always wanted to go to. And then by the way, by the way, barbarians has come up about that. I know, of course. It was like hysterical. What was so great about it?

I mean, just dark and a bar. It was in proximity to a strip called the Brass Rail, which is a Brass Rail. But I also think that like, it was, it must have been comforting. I think Chris came from that kind of place in terms like where the steakhouse was the, you know, when the, the, the, the yuck bag. Yeah.

When the family would go out to dinner, you know, on a special occasion, they would go to this, you know, red leather, you know, steak place. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, it was, he would, and then we would always end up the brass rail. When we go to the brass rail, Dana, so we get per diem, right? So if people don't know, you get like money to spend for food on a movie. So let's say we get 700 bucks for the week, and then we're stuck on the movie so much, it's fun because it's free actual cash that no one can get their greedy mitts on.

We just get to keep it. But you don't spend it that much because you're always on set. So we go to the brass rail and he goes, David, come with me. And I go, I don't want to go there again dude. He goes, just two seconds. We walk in here to immediately take a VIP dance. I just sit there for 45 minutes.

And then he comes back and he goes, all right, I'm tapped out. Let's go. And then we go and I go, you spend all your pretty and he goes, David, if you don't spend it, you have to give it back. I go, you spent all your pretty and he goes, David, if you don't spend it, you have to give it back. I go, I don't think that's how it works.

You have to give it back. He goes, give me yours. I'll spend it for you. I go, no, no. He had such a funny relationship with you, David. We'd say these little innocent things to you all the time. You guys fought. I don't remember.

I mean, you remember when you guys had, yeah, they were fighting on during time. During Tommy boy. What was the fight basically about? David, I mean, there was definitely a girl somewhere in there. I can't remember exactly what, what, that was more black shit. But yeah, when did he step on your sandwich? Oh, that was Tommy. No, actually, there was a problem during, yeah, on Tommy boy for that. Um, but he, oh, yeah, he stepped on my sandwich, the great tuna salad. Yeah,

the smashers have had marked her. He called me and said, but Chris step on David sandwich. Yes. And his fucking hand. Yeah. And that was really the problem. And then he threw me down the stairs. But that was that too. But you're light and you're scrappy. You're old. But day and I didn't say this part. So Fred Wolf is one of the writers. He, uh, he was on set writing a lot of jokes. And he comes in my, my thing and Farley is so mad. And he doesn't know what to do because Fred's like, you can't beat up space. He's in the movie. And you can beat him up. But just don't because he knows you can. We all know you can. And you that anger and and he goes, oh, I know.

And he walks away, but he's so mad. Skippy walks by and out the window, he full form shoulder tackles Skippy for absolutely no reason as hard as he can to the ground because Skippy was 350. Yeah. And he had to find someone his side. That's all he heard in his head. So he just decks him and then gets up and walks away and lights a cigarette and Skippy's on the ground.

Oh, because he just had to get it out. And then he was calm down. And we go, let's go back to the set. It was really weird to go back to the set after having a fight and going, this is just our life. We do this a lot. What do you is just our life. He was a whatever. What do you say?

I feel like he was incredibly agile. Like, you know, he's a big guy, but man, like he could really ice skate. He could do, he was like incredibly athletic. And, you know, I could see him putting, you know, all of his weight behind a shoulder like that and knocking a giant guy like you know. And I was like, well, the the guy saying, hi, Chris. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely no, doesn't see it coming at all.

Maybe Chris knew something we didn't know. Yeah, that was on the future, yeah, in the horizon. I think Skippy was getting me back for that. We had a, I remember you and Chris and I were sitting in our chairs. I think I even got a chair at that point. I think it must have been far enough into the production where I had finagled my own chair.

But, and we're sitting with Brian Danny, he, you know, in between takes, it was at that house, that place. That's really nice. And Danny was like reading a book or something and he looks over at these three idiots sitting next to him and he's like, so what are you guys up to for what's next for you guys? We're all like, wow, we don't know.

No idea. He's like, I'm doing the big one this fall. And we're like, the big one. He's like salesman. And so David and I are like, oh, cool salesman. And Chris goes, what salesman? He says, death of a salesman. And then Chris goes, what's death of a salesman and Chris goes, what salesman? He says, death of a salesman. And then Chris goes,

what's death of a salesman? He had no idea. He was, he was a, he did this thing, you know, he was, he did this thing with me. He, it started as like, uh, because I do think he, you know, I felt Chris did believe that I was going to do things. And you know, I think he, he think he, you know, I felt Chris did believe that I was gonna do things. And you know, I think he, he sort of said, you know, you're gonna make it, which I appreciate. It was all you wanna hear when you're a kid. And though I wasn't much younger than he was, but you know, in terms of what he had already accomplished,

like I was, no, I was nowhere. And he had this thing he would do where he would pretend that I like it already. I had made it and many years later, it's 10 years on or whatever, and his career gone into the toilet. And so he was running into me trying to get job. Trying to get work and talking about like you know yeah I think it's happened so good for me you know and he and he went really deep with it like you would talk about like you know a kid that he found out he had that he hadn't yeah I think the mind yeah it's so funny his big scenario thing he would go

maybe I'm gonna act like I'm a waiter. And you act like you want this food, but we don't have it. Yeah. And then we would just do that in the office for fucking to kill time. But you get the funniest things out of that. Oh, it's a best fun. And he would cry.

He would get himself like at his own, like, imagine the predicament of how bad things have gotten for him. And I remember he had done, you know, he got paid on cable guy. There was like that cable guy thing where like, he, he, yeah, remember, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, he was, the Hills Ninja. Remember that? We remember. We're six million. We just talked to Kervoy. Oh really? Oh good. Yeah. And yeah, I remember, I mean, you know, I'm a fan of Brad's, but like I remember saying like, don't do Beverly Hills

News. I was like, why? Why are you to do that? I guess I was such a lore and loyalist. I was like anything that was outside of the lore. Well, you know, there was a mess with Black sheep and then he could have done cable guy that summer. Yep. And then they went, you know, he went to Jim Carey but he was gonna get a nice chunk by maybe three

for cable guy, which was huge. And then here comes Kervoy with six and I was just, we were all going, whoa. Wow, that was, when it was funny, you just remind me, that's a Gervant screened. I did it with Gervant the other night, a Gervant screened at me. He called me and because I had said, I had sort of offered an opinion as to why that happened. It's like, you know, it's like, you remember Chris's piss that cable guy had somehow gotten away from him and he, I think, he played more or he blamed, you know, I think he had to do

black sheep. Yes, he had a black sheep to capture. And I said to him, I said, well, you know, like, I basically said something which I was the last time I ever said, you know, now I have so many friends who are representatives and like the worst thing you can do is get in between a client and the rep, I say, hey, you're guiding me the contract or something. And I just, but I was, you know, young and I said that. And boy, Adam Venet called me first. And, you know, he was the soft touch. And he was like, you made a mistake. And, you know, you got like, and then,

Gervis was playing. He was the jab and here comes the right hook. Blasted me. Like, really? I still remember it. What the fuck you guys doing? Basically. Hey, do me a favor, say the fuck out of our business.

Basically. Yeah. But, yeah, do me a favor, say the fuck out of our business. You baked basically. But, yeah, that was a big mess, but it was, I think, they, they, Lauren wouldn't push, or Paramount wouldn't push Black sheep an extra summer. But you know, we have one summer to shoot something, you know. Paramount was rough. And though they, I mean, they were all rough on studios, they were rough. But like, you remember, they were rough on Pete Seagulls.

Oh, yeah. But they were also rough. Like, I remember there was a Wayne's World 2 thing remember Dana where they were going to sue Mike over some you know sort of passport to pin the bill exactly where to lined up or something. So we had to get the script together very very quickly and we couldn't hunt because we already had a tie in with McDonald's so So it was the train left the station and such great movie biz. It was so fun. Behind the scenes, it's unreal.

Yeah, just for our audience, I just wanna say because people listening to this, Eric Newman went on to become a huge movie producer and television producer, Narcos. I just think that's a nice context. Oh, thank you. His young daughter, Sarah, is that Sarah night life. So I Anyway, we we should have you for an episode. I love by what I don't know what what more I I'll come up

I seem to be a fountain of stuff around that show and it is so fun talking you because it throws me exactly right back on the plane and Exactly how him turning that goddamn sheet upside down and going, you give me one of the fucking, while he's smoking was the refeed of air space. Sweating and smoking and any, and he turns it upside down and looks, he doesn't even understand it, and then he just fakes and falls asleep.

It was nice to think about him. You know, I, I, as we all did, you know, I, I loved him. You know, he was so sweet. He was amazing. He was a nice core, you know, and he's like so hard at your him. He was so sweet. He was amazing. He was a core. He laughed so hard at your jokes and he was so eager. He was a sweet guy. And now we talked with Mike Myers who knew Chris in Chicago, loved him and he's got some really, really interesting and fun stories actually about the genius of Chris Farley. I want to thank Mike Myers for coming on today.

Oh, sorry. And he thought about our great friend Chris Farley, one of the all-time funniest humans that walked around on our planet. Oh, Chris Farley was a genius. Just one of the most naturally funny people have ever met. Big heart, kind person. You know, just somebody you couldn't stop watching. You know what I mean? You mean, he was must see TV. Oh my God, how corny. But yes, you know what I mean? And it's kind of true.

And because you were in second city with him, right? Or you were in Chicago. I was in second city with him. I was waiting for my American immigration to kick in and Del Close and Sharna Helperum were very, very gracious to allow me to work out while I was waiting for my second city American immigration to kick in,

because it was born in Canada. And there I improvised a lot with Farley. And he was obviously super talented. Sometimes it was very dangerous, literally people's teeth would get knocked out. And- Because he would get so animated, it actually knocks someone's teeth out.

Yeah, I got hit in the head a couple times. It was very different than the more kind of gentile comedy that I was used to in Canada. And certainly in England, where it's a little more verbal. Clever is a very important thing in British comedy, and less important, Clever, like, you know, oh my God, what a Clever use of words.

And in America, and I'm probably more funny, it's funny, should it be clever, fantastic. I mean, it's like kind of like what's happening right now in the world of Claptor, where people will give you a round of applause for having said something politically claptor, as opposed to laughter. Fine, fine choir, preach to choir, and then get claptor. Claptor as opposed to laughter. Yes. Fine, fine choir, preach to choir, and then get claptor. Claptor. Yeah. And I was raised with laughter, you know what I mean? Because

some of the thing about being between American England, appreciate clever, crave laughter. And farly was pure laughter. And you know, one of my strongest memories is which is what I love working with you Dana when we made the movies is that you're funny and Ending I've had with you very very funny off For no other reason then we just enjoy having a sense of humor, you know me and yeah It's fun. There aren't comedians. I've met who are not those people and they look at you like it's we're not working now clown relax I would be doing this if there was no money in a dude. I just like I'd like different bits Will Ferrell's like that. I have a long I have a 25-year-old Running bit with world-fair on I had that with Farley so every every on Saturday life

I used to have my dinner then I would, on Saturday, on the day of, then I'd have my shower at exactly 4'17 or something. And Farley would always come to my shower, completely naked, with his big giant body, and he'd press me against the wall, and go, oh my God, Calypa I've always loved you, just one kiss. And I would, I'd be not, I'd be not, but I'd have said, go far,

I'd get the fuck outta here, get out, get out, get out. And I couldn't have had a very hard because it was so funny. And every week I forgot, you think you would remember that every week. But I was, he's coming out. Very, very intense, et cetera, in life. Just, okay, if they're over here,

then ask them over here, that's gonna get cut. You know what I mean? And where was the shower, Mike, I'm so, where was the shower in the bathroom? Which is another thing that was super, super, super, super. On the ninth floor. Yeah. The video's on the eighth floor.

On the ninth floor, you have these little tiny, I don't know if it's still like that, but tiny cubby hole dressing rooms. Yeah. And then on right at the end of the hall are a communal men women bathroom. Yes. That had a communal shower. So I would, I'd found out the time when nobody was there And it's like a hospital. It was very much like a youth hostile. And I dipped it.

I had everything laid out so that my shower was literally like 11 seconds long. And every time finally came and impressed me. Mike, don't run from your feet. Yeah, that's a lot. Mike, we're total commitment. So he was stalking you. He was checking the time as well. Yeah, it is. Knowing. And he was stalking you. He was checking the time as well. Knowing and he was ready for you. That's a

Stereo. I never remember because you know the show I think you would say that Dana Bass But just being shot out of a can and flying Tokyo once a week. You're so tired And yeah, I'm only gonna ever do this show once in my life I'm gonna as well give it my all But what else would I think it was I once in my life, I'm gonna as well give it my all. What else would I think is it? I regret not taking a shower there. I should have done it.

I don't know, I think. I don't know if I took a shower the whole time I was on it. We know. I need some to wake up, you know, and I had come in and do rewrites. Mike, I have a question about that, more of a statement. I thought, or is it old sketch, it wrote. It's a question with this statement wrapped in an indictment. Go ahead.

Yes. You did one that was one of my favorites. I don't know if it gets enough fanfare. It might. Japanese game show. And you, it was so funny already. Very good. I think you were. No, it was. Oh already very wrote it I think you know I didn't you know you're in it oh you didn't seem like it was a handy maybe no

god I can't think of this name right now super funny writer he was a guest writer that week and he wrote it and made us all learn Japanese oh it's unbelievable unbelievable and then Farley is the added ingredient that was so so great he's for people don't see it. It's a purely Japanese game show. He comes in off the street. He thinks he's taking a few of the other. Tokyo TV. Yeah. But in fact, he ends up as a consistent test and part of this show is to be electrocuted and humiliated. And, of course. You know.

And he's playing Wisconsin like the perfect like, you talking Japanese to him and then someone cut someone's finger off when they get the question wrong. He's like, oh, wait, I, again, I am not, I don't speak Japanese. I'm not from here. I'm not from here. Yeah, we, I feel like I'm lost. I shouldn't be answering

You're saying yeah We've talked about Chris's explosive rhythm was always so potent when he was in distress or being injured or anything Where he was panicked he had that And it was very musical. I mean, since you saw him a little more close maybe in Chicago than we did, but there was a high intellect in a sense, comedic IQ that Chris had. And that he knew what he was doing. He knew how funny those rhythms were.

It reminded me of Keneson in a way, when he was screams. Keneson had the staccato, but Chris had his own sort of, you guys sort of were doing it a second ago, but yeah, it was screams. Ken has an ad the staccato, but Chris had his own sort of, you guys sort of were doing a second ago, but yeah, it was very potent. But you know, it's kind of like he had the humility, you know, the same thing, but the English comedy,

there's a little bit of, you know, I'm small as well. I'm not just silly and Canada and the USA are freed from the need to prove to your audience that you have an intellect. But it's required you have to be smart enough to do comedy. People forget that just if you're good that means you're smart because you are thinking the 18 ways you shouldn't do it. You're picking the one that works. So something's going on. I've gotten a few reviews in my life that kind of tinged me a little bit. Oh, it's just being silly.

Yes. Yeah. Is it any pick anyone out of the crowd? Pete, now go just be silly. Yeah. And so because it's a senior shows, you know, conduct that crowd, dude, you know, better than any other comedian I've ever seen. It's a

Perfectly timed and so full show, but yes, which when it looks easy. I think with Fardy it looked easy and I You know, it was a lot of focus a lot of commitment, but it does, you know, so but we don't need to know how it was made It was just great, you know, yeah, you know, what you were saying about Second City, when he would commit, he would get on me. And I think other people like, he wanted the exact same commitment. If he got a vibe that you weren't 100% in a sketch, he was really into it. So he was taught, he's like, you get up there and you give it a thousand and you go to the crowd and you come in

Exploding into that scene and so he had all these rules in his head and he would do them all and if he caught someone Goldbrick and yeah, he'd be like, you know, he'd get on your ass about which I know that is the second city training You know a lot of that is the late Del close who You know, I've been fortunate to and the Chris. We had two big coaches in our life, one is Lauren Michaels, and the other one is Del Close, you know, and one of the things I think we all kind of feel about Lauren is that he had a glossary of terms for that which didn't have a glossary of terms before, you know what I mean? And for sketch comedy, certainly there isn't a day I don't quote,

by you, to Dana, I learned a lot from you. Definitely. I can't believe that, but at this point, I think the student has become the teacher. Now the pupils. The student has become the older students. That's why I was. Now the pupils. The students have become the older students. That's why I like... But Lord does have a lot of phrases. And lornazums I call him. Mike, what are your lornazums? I haven't heard them all. Do you have any?

Well, the value of water is one that is a biggie for people who have heard that. But I remember you telling me about that one. Oh, I went to his house. Never forget the value of water. As he's pouring water from like three feet away for the, he was a great poor guy. He put that M still like three feet in the air and just like, it's like that. Well, I've never been to anybody's house

that was still least stocked, you know? It made either. Yeah. And he had like every kind of cheese, not just cheese, you know what I mean. And he said, well, you know, come over to the house. Then he was like, there's your say, I'll talk to you tomorrow. And I'm like, what do I do to me? There's no TV's and anything. So I'm like, okay. So I just like walked around and began to you know, and then the next

morning he's coming, he's just had a massage, right? It's very real. I had all the same experience. And I was in the kitchen, I was by myself and I was like, my allow to go into the, the fridge, I'm starving. He goes, have you eaten? I said, no, I'm serious. No, no, just chill yourself. And then he put some sub water and he goes

Do you drink water? I was like, yeah, because there's nothing like water and so I Do you breathe there's nothing like air? Do you breathe? Beers like water in as much as both of them are liquids, right? And he went, right. And so I had them still light in the, I don't know, I found a pay booth in town and I called my brother Paul, and was like, Oh my God. And then on day three, I might be doing it. Lauren saying right is one of the funny things

that he always does sort of. He should have been a game show host and the answer is Toronto, raw. And the answer is he could have been anyone. But with, you know, with Rob Blow, we have tried to get, when we have dinner with Lauren, she's trying to get a right really in a cool, I've entertaining this the last time I was here.

No, that's great. That's funny. Right is it's boring. Yeah. Really is something that is embarrassing and you're just going to tell the next person to come to the room. Yeah. And cool is now you have to leave.

So it's right. Really. Cool. Right. And there's one more. So it's right really cool right? And there's one more play. One more I don't yeah you want to go in threes but exactly is when you're giving him information he may not have heard and then he claims it I guess you know exactly exactly. Yeah, right.

I knew. So we're watching a hockey game once with this kid and When you've got a Powerplay at hockey you can't see the clock to see how much more of Your power play you have but the goalie watches and when there's three seconds to go you waps a stick on the ground three times one two three and His son said why is he wapping the stick and Lauren said? Where he's frustrated they haven't scored. And I said, well, no, actually, it's telling me

a three seconds to go because they can't watch the clock. Anyway, I knew. And no, no one, if you had known, you would have said there was three seconds to go. So you didn't know. But I didn't. I said, well, it's both. It's. But I didn't. I said, well, you know, it's both, it's both, because I didn't want to embarrass him.

Oh, the kids all run out. And Chris would always say to David, because they had such a unique relationship, talk about, don't tell Lauren. He was always when he, don't tell you what it is. Yeah, grab, yeah, grabs you really. I knew you, don't know.

Shh, no. But he loved Mike and Dana. Oh boy, he would like, fuck, they're fucking killing dude. He just couldn't believe even knew you guys when he came on. Who Chris? Because it was overwhelming for all of us. Yeah, yeah.

Super overwhelming. Got there and he's, and it's just going, oh my God, because you guys were running the tables and, well, he was just excited to be in. He was in wins world one and two. And yes, cameos or whatever and you know I have his yellow security shirt from Wayne's World two his brother just gave me Really that's so cool. That's crazy. Wow

I just got it two weeks ago. It's super Chris. I think about him all the time and You know for me, there's a lot of Chris in Fat Bastard of the sort of you know my boy, he's built for pleasure you know and he's you know just trying to channel that brilliance you know what I mean? And who's always very, very nice to me. And I know this guy's had super corny, but he was super, super nice to my mom that I was meant to love.

Well, he had a Midwestern vibe about him and that is sort of humility and politeness and humbleness. We got to talk to his mom and brother and got to know a little bit about his childhood. But he did the party started when Chris came in the room. And if you'd say the mildest joke and he would sincerely just belly laugh. So hard and he shared one thing with you Mike,

he had more little superstitions about what he would touch. But I remember you had one, do you wouldn't go on the main doors of 8-8? You would just go. Everyone in the main doors. Yeah, I had to know that. Was that Canadian flagpole at 30 rock? Yes, Chris had a few of those things.

I didn't know about the Canadian, every time you came in, you went bump, bump, bump, and then you came with the rock. Then I had to look at the number 22 on the lighting grid. And when I hosted, they gave me that number off the lighting grid and it's on my front door now. Oh, Koo-koo.

Mike on Tommy Boy, we're doing these, a black sheep too. When we do, first of all, you guys know he's very religious. And so to combat his craziness, to scare him, before each take, he'd spread his legs kind of wide, and then he'd pull up a pant leg on each side. Yes. Yeah. Before take, and I go, and so I was getting so sick of it

that one day I go, you know, Chris, you're asking the devil to come out of hell. And he goes, no, no. And I go, no, the good thing about the devil is I don't, he has to be invited into your life and you invite him. I don't invite him because I don't want the devil. And he goes, no, that's not what I'm doing. I go, you're knocking on the top of hell

and pulling your leg and saying, come to me. And he goes, you shut the fuck up. Because he was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so then it scared him, so he's like, tentative about it. So funny. Kevin Neon, one of the funniest guys out there had some overlap with Chris on the show. And we all know Kevin, and here's what he had to say. Let me tell you something. There you are with the baseball cap and all dressed up.

I'm not going to say anything. I'm in a sauce and I'm not going to do that. Is that real German? I kind of German. Or Austrian, right? You lived in Austria for a year, right? I live with Hans, or there. If you have a nine-year comes in, right? You lived in Austria for a year, right? And if you're in the hands of the Habanani crampson, the slaughtered are fastened, take your labors and

arson and make sure your vikatoon is taught love. After he's named then I'm going to full start with the with the I got one. Amelist,

open. Has to brooder. Nine obra covers. Why swed stop? That's do you have any brothers? No, I have three sisters. Amy list, Oben, Hostu Bruder, nine opera covers, why Swaysta? That's, do you have any brothers? No, I have three sisters. You're like, well, it's not funny when I do it. The first time I saw Chris Farley,

I remember I was in the hallway of Studio A and H and the elevator door opens up and I'll come Farley. And he could not have looked more excited. And he's taking those kind of farly steps and he's pulling his pants up like Holy-boy, motivational spin and he looks at Daniela. You know, and he walks down the hall. He was like a kid in the candy store.

I forget who was with him, maybe his brother or two of his brothers, gone maybe. And then we just kind of got to know Chris. So we got to see how funny he was and how he would do anything for a lap. And it's almost like he always needed to have you laughing. He didn't feel like he was enough just by himself. And I don't know where that came from, but I blame his parents. I blame you.

But wasn't he also an explosive laughter laffer? He said he's a great lover. He's not even that funny. He's like, f**k! He's like a f**k. Yeah. Yeah. He was good at that.

And he's around all these funny people. I think he did like, it's always great when a comedian is also a laffer, you know, because it's very disarming when someone laughs at your shit. It's more fun. Everything's fun. Yeah, I just kind of nod, because I don't wanna give the other comedian confidence. Yeah. The worst is when a comedian laughs at his own jokes.

That's kind of annoying. Cause he's like a laugh track for you. He's letting you know where the laugh should be. The other thing I noticed about Farley was, when he laughed or he's excited, he juck his head. He juck his head quick to one side or his head going like a turtle. Yeah, he showed us what he'll up. He'll punch up.

And yeah, but people loved him. They just loved, they could feel his joy and his excitement, I think. And they were there for the ride. And I know that you spent and Sandler and stuff, you know exactly how to egg them on. You can get them to do stuff, you know, and have them turn on even higher volume. And I remember one day, yeah, I love getting laughs.

But talking about the how he digressed in his, you know, being, et cetera, live. I remember he was in the hallway at Sanders dressing room and I was coming out and he was kind of being really loud and stuff and I said, Chris, take it down a notch. Take it down a notch. And somehow we got the discussion about Balushi, John Balushi, because, you know,

as we all know, he wanted to be just like John Balushi. He wanted to emulate him. And unfortunately, he did at the end, especially. But he said, well, you know, Baluci did a lot of drugs and drink and stuff. And I said, yeah, but looking at how much funnier he would have been without all that and looking at how much more alive he would be today. Really, Really? But I think things just didn't really sit in his head that long. He didn't really retain a lot of stuff

that were kind of good advice for him. But I've never laughed harder than at the chip and nails dancer sketch with Farley. I've never broken character on that show, but that was the one time I almost lost it, and I had to keep looking down at my clipboard, because every time I looked up, that belly was sloshing back and forth, like a pool on a boat. And then I looked down at my clipboard, and I look up again, and I see all the stretch marks going back and forth, and I just had to look down, and man, I was so relieved when it was over. For the people at home, Kevin was one of the three judges?

Was it you, Jan Hooks maybe? Yeah, it was like American Idol. We were sitting behind a table, a long table and it was me, Jan Hooks and Mike Myers with the board. And Farley was auditioning to be a chipmint L dancer with just the bow tie on, the cups, no shirt and leather pants, auditioning against Patrick's Wazey, who was, you know, total six packs over. Perfect, Shay, yeah. Yeah.

And Farley gave it his all and he was not going to walk away easily from his loss. And he kept dancing after he realized he wasn't in and it would finally have to say, no, that's, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, it's over. No, no. Kevin, you're so funny in that because those sketches need someone like you when you go Barney, Barney, it's over. Like you're so straight and Chris is kind of give eyeballs at you like flirt with you like

Floating with the judges. Yeah, yeah Like this move. No, no, no, it's over. It's over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How was I heard in retrospect? God I heard in retrospect that he was uh, no correct me if I'm wrong I heard this about a year ago that he was a little apprehensive about agreeing to do that sketch me if I'm wrong, I heard this about a year ago that he was a little apprehensive about agreeing to do that sketch because he was self conscious. There's two camps in that, right? I think Bob O'Neal Kirk has one thought on it and Jim Downey did not think Chris was upset about it or felt humiliated by, I never heard a word about it from Chris.

I wouldn't think he would be because, you know, he just threw himself around. He, like I said, he would do anything for a while. Kevin, do you remember at read through? Did he, I can't remember, did he get up and do that? I don't think so. Just so people know, we haven't mentioned this, but I don't know if you guys were there, but I don't know if it was a regular thing with Chris, but the writers room on the 17th floor, 1am, and there's these double doors and it's where we have read through.

And he just burst through and he was completely naked with kind of his legs crossed and giggling. You know, that was just Chris. So that's why I didn't think he'd be embarrassed about the chippin' Dale sketch because he knew he was moving in such a funny way and just crushing. So I would assume he was happy about that,

but I never asked him. Well, he's always naked. He would always walk in roof and just pull a shirt off and pull his pants down. You go, what are you doing? What are you doing? And if Kevin, what about the move when he does something like that? And you go, orangely mad and he goes,

what? And then he changes his whole demeanor and his head goes back and he goes, no, no, David, please don't, don't, no. Do you know what he does? Really? Yeah. Really? No, really?

Or how about a read through, you know, where he sat over there, where you walk in. And I didn't know about OCD because when he walked in, we had shared that office. And he walked in, he would flip the light on and off. And then when he left, he touched the ceiling twice or the top of the door jam. And I always thought he was doing it to be funny. And when he would go to read through, when his was coming up, he'd pull his wallet out,

and he'd be staring at the script, and he'd just casually lick each corner of each dollar bill and put it back in his wallet. And I, we didn't know what OCD was. And on Tommy Boy, each take, he would lean over and pull up one side of his pant like and then the other. And then, uh, and but he didn't like, he wasn't seen if anyone was looking, he was doing it so, uh, just by wrote, that's all he did.

And, uh, finally, I didn't know, we didn't know what OCD was. It wasn't anything back then so i think that's what it was looking back probably was i mean mic had a mile form of that i mean i was working with mic to go eight h and through the double doors and then all said he just bolts left and goes i don't go through the double doors i don't know if that was for a particular season or whatever maybe it was more superstition than ocd

one of the things that really stands out for me with Chris was how agile he was in light on his feet and coordinated. Like we would play basketball over at Riverside Park, and I was just astounded with how quick he was and just good with the fakes. And, you know, we even saw that in the skating rink at 30 rock when he was skating for one of those sketches just how a good athlete he was even though he was on the plus side. Yeah. He was such a

great athlete. Nancy Kerrigan's sketch was a was funny. Yeah. Those even funnier because he was good. It's very surprising. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Very athletic basketball. I don't know if you know, I know he played rugby in college, I believe and he was a lot lighter, but I wonder how how disappointed he was at his body size because he really was a thin person inside that heavy body. Well, was it that was did you talk to you about the David where he didn't think he could be as funny if he got to more of a normal weight, you know, he was scared that it was less funny unless you were a fatter because you know, I think when he got all the way to start alive to the top and quotes,

you know, as that and and every sketch, you know, they had a sketch called a whale boy, you know, at Second City, and that sounds a little rough. But, you know, if you're that big and you think then it goes away, you know, it's something about it. You go, I can't lose it. But, you know, when he passed away, I still have his Tommy Boy jacket here. His family gave it to me and it's on my wall. And it's not that big. I mean, he was not, I think when he passed away, he was honestly a hundred pounds heavier

than during Tommy Boy. He just, last time I saw him, really got big. Oh, go ahead, go ahead. That was it. He just really got big. But he wasn't, he was bigger than me in Tommy Boy, but I was probably one hundred and thirty five pounds. So it was a funny juxtaposition there, but in real life, he wasn't some super fat, you know. I remember the last time I saw him.

I was at uh, brilstein gray management company. We both had the same managers. That's a big floor up there. It's like the whole floor. And I was walking by one of the conference rooms. And I saw Farley, he was back, was kind of behind me, or aside. I think he was smoking a cigarette. And he had like a, I think it was like a pink mohawkers.

Hair was dyed pink, and he had a leather jacket on, and he was kind of sweating and I didn't say anything to him because you know I just I for some reason I didn't stop and say hi to him but that was the last time I saw him. Got it's hard it's you know it's funny and it's sad I don't I don't remember I don't think the last time I saw him. I was in Aspen, remember the HBO comedy, for the last time I saw him. I sat next to him and that it was a whole

Saturday Night Live kind of reunion in Aspen. I could reunion, yeah. Did you go to that one, Kevin? I was, we were in bleachers. I did, yeah, I was there. Lauren and Chevy and the, we went to a dinner. So I see him and he's,

he comes over to go to a dinner like, let's say Steve Martin Martin short Lauren. They're all having a big long table dinner. You guys might have been there. They said if you want to come down, we have two seats. And when Chris got to my room and picked me up, he was too fucked up. And I was like, oh, we can't go to this thing. But he goes, we gotta go. We gotta go. And so we're walking down there. All I'm thinking is, I hope it's like a cast party where everyone's just milling about and we can kind of blend in,

but it was a sit down long table dinner. And they had our seats towards the middle, so we had to scooch down, buy everyone, and we're gonna be trapped. And I go, Chris, keep going. We scooted down, we kept going, kept going out the other side. And then I took them to the kitchen.

I go, let's go in the alley. I go, we can't stay there. We're not having a three hour dinner with all like our boss and all these famous people. We're gonna get in trouble. So we went out and then I went home and he found, you know, he finds people that I wouldn't hang out with, you know, and they're all like kind of sketchy.

And he goes, I'm gonna hang with these guys. I go, so I went to lunch the next day, and he's in line for this lunch place, and he's with all these people, but they haven't gone to bed. So he's talking to me, and his eyes are sort of going back in his head, and he's trying to focus. And I go, do you go to bed yet? And he goes, not yet.

And I go, oh, and then I think we got back to LA. And that was sort of the beginning of, he lived near me, but we didn't see each other that much because he was always with a group of those guys, you know, and then it's not as fun for me because he's either wasted or I don't wanna hang with these guys, they're all sketched. And then you just get the news one day and I'm like,

oh my God, yeah. But I don't remember. So you were very close to him, you were close to him at the end. Well, I mean, the last couple of months, it was I ran into him and we had read this movie called The Tree and that was gonna be maybe our next movie and then he did Ninja and something else.

And I just happened to run into him and he goes, Hey, everyone just talks about Tommy Boy. We gotta do another one. This is stupid. What are we doing? Because we weren't really fighting. We just were both doing our own thing. And he said, did you read the tree?

And I said, yeah, I think that might be a good one. And he goes, yeah. And then it never happened because it was just a few months later. So, but yeah, our terms were fine. It was just really the crowdies with, I thought it would be a thing. Yeah, I think a lot of people like to latch on

to someone that popular like that, and Chris may not have been that astute to the ask kissing that was going on, and he was getting so much praise and attention from them. It felt good. I'm not a therapist, but that's my, that's my, you know, when you walk down the street in New York and people like Neal and Carvee, you know, they're eating outside and when they'd go, they'd go, Hey, you know, spade, have a drink, you know, they're just sitting right

next to you and you walk by, Hey, guys, if anyone said have a drink when we were walking together, he would stop and drink or he'd walk around and go sit with us. And then he would, and they're like, oh my god, he's actually doing it. Oh, hey, scoot over. And then he would just drink, and I go, all right, I'm gonna take off, because it was just crazy fans that were slapping his back,

and no cameras back then, or that would have been insane. But just like grabbing him, and he got drunk with everyone, and I go, so you could just see it. He got so famous, and he was so fun. and I go, so you could just see it. He got so famous and he was so fun. And I was lucky to hang out with him and my friends are like, oh, bring him, bring him, he's so fun. He would leave messages, my friends and their voicemails and they'd fucking die loud.

It's great. So that's the tough part. If you don't, that's hard for all of us to get through, all the temptations. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you've, all the temptations. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you become a wind up doll. Let's get the famous comedian and high.
