Jeans-Mas Vacation w/ Chevy Chase | Your Mom's House Ep. 841

Welcome to your mom's house. Welcome to another episode of your mom's house and of course, Merry Christmas. It is the holiest of holidays. Baby Yejushka was born today. Yekhenny'sushka. And of course, you are probably celebrating with your families. So Merry Christmas to you and your whole entire family, grandma and children, everybody. I hope Santa visited you and treated you well, even if you're a non-believer. Maybe Jews are funny. Maybe the Chunika fairy came and brought you something for Chonka. Oh yeah, hopefully you had a good Chunika. Did you celebrate at Chunuka, Josh? I did. I've been lighting the menorah, making the latkes. I'm doing the whole thing. Yeah, that doesn't sound... Oh, fuck yeah! That doesn't sound as fun. The Hanukkah latkes and the candle. It sounds very anti-climactic and the Jews are in show business. You guys really should have come up with like a banger. A better one, yeah. They taste pretty good. The latkes are pretty tasty. You could do that anytime. Yeah, you can. You know, the dates. Yeah, this is once a year, trees and fights. You know, sandy claws, it's really just not comparable. It's magical. And you can light a candle any day of the year. And you can eat crackers or whatever it is anytime. You can have your little soup, do your thing whenever you want. I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis. It's just, you know, it's everything. Quick plug, today, today, as you're listening, my new special teacher is debuted on Netflix. Thank you very much. Appreciate you. Please watch it. Please tell your friends to watch it. Please give it a shot. Also, we'll be off for new years. You can also get the past YMH lives for a discounted price at YMH Studios.com if you want to watch them all. There's a bunch of new merch. You have lipstick, everything's up in the store. Lipstick, blush, radiance, balm, you name it, gloss. Yes. I'm wearing it all now, kids. It's very exciting. What are that? Very exciting. I do. I love Christmas. And you want to know something, Tim? What's that? Is that it's so easy to get cynical. Yes. And it's so easy to let the past hurts of Christmas fill your soul for Christmas present, but don't do that. I refuse to do that. Don't be a believer and embrace the Christmas spirit. Can I play you a song that my father used to play for my stepmother every year? He would get loaded, play this song, and it would throw her into a rage. And I just thought I'd maybe open the episode, share it with everybody. Yeah, let's hear it. Okay. So far I'm in. That's nice. You got it. Skip that. Okay. Thank you. So, what bothered her? The German or just the song, the melody? What was the part that bothered her? The part that bothered her because I'm kind of on her side right now. My father would put on an entire German Christmas album and it would throw her into a rage because A, we're not Germans, we're Hungarians. And so Hungarian music is a. But he was born in Bavaria. Yes. Yes. So we're, you know, German by birth, Hungarian by the grace of God. Yep. But it infuriated her because you just hated German music and the language and stuff. And then he would play the whole album and just drink more and more. And I would get to watch that dynamic play out. That's kind of a fun memory. A Christmas Eve. Was she, was that who, you know how like every European hates a certain European the most? Was Germany it for her? Does she hate the Germans the most? No, Russians. The Hungarians hate the Russians because the Russians occupied. Right. But did she have any feelings about Germans? Like she just. Well, I mean, I specifically know, I can't say that. But I think in general, the Germans are known for being kind of stoic, kind of cold. Yeah. Not as fun as other Europeans. That's true. And their language to be frank doesn't sound pretty when it's sung to Christmas songs. Kling, naus hangi. Yeah. Yeah. Kling, kluch, klink, klink, klink. It's just not very nice. To somebody out there though, they're like, that is my favorite fucking song. That's the jam. Yeah. There is another one called Heidi Bumbaiji. That was terrible. That doesn't sound. Heidi Bumbaiji. That was also German? Heidi Bumbaiji. No, no, no, that's Hungarian. Yeah. Heidi Bumbaiji. That was terrible. That was terrible. Yeah. Anyway, every Christmas my whole life, I heard Kling, kluch, klink and Heidi Bumbaiji. Wow. Yeah. Beautiful. Did your mother do any Mexican music for you? No, I don't remember that at all. No. I mean, she was the one because Americans really do Christmas day as the big thing. So she introduced. I hate that. Something about Christmas Eve because I think that's kind of Latin too, just to have some type of acknowledgement on Christmas Eve. Yeah. We didn't really do that. I don't think we would have done that at all without her. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I hate Christmas morning. We'd go to midnight mass. That's bullshit. That's terrible. Oh, I kind of liked that because that meant we had the day off. You know what I mean? So it was like, knock it out. Oh. And it wasn't really at midnight. It was just called that sometimes. It was, but it was an evening mass on the 24th. And then we get home and I think they did the whole thing. You get to do one present on the 24th. That's so gay. What do you mean? That is, first of all, it's so cheap and so communist. What? And because Eastern blockers, everything is at night. It's the 24th that counts. The 25th is just, you go visit people, you get drunk. It's not about prezzies. Well, that's the thing is. The prezzies are on the 24th. No, no, no. You don't get it. Everybody knows that. Well, then you didn't have a fucking good Christmas because the whole thing is that you wait for Sandy Claws to come down the chimney on the night of the 24th and on the 25th you wake up and you're like, holy shit, and you have presents under the tree. That's how we do it here. That's not how it happens. Yezushka comes and he gives you the gifts and they ring a bell and then you come in. What? No, you need to move to a village. I'm talking about the United States of America, how we do it here. So how I did it grown up. That is. My dad let me open up and my mom prezzies on Christmas Eve and baby Yezushka brought those gifts for us. And that's how it goes. You are completely retarded. So anybody out there who is feeling like maybe today isn't your day, we have a special opening message for you. Okay. Send this video to someone that's having a really bad day. Hi. I'm sorry you're having a bad day. I hope this helps. Who is Randy? Don't bring it up on the show. No. Don't bring it up on the show. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I'm on a Christmas angel. I really enjoyed that. Yeah, it did make me feel better And I didn't see that one coming you didn't see it. I thought for sure She was gonna give us a sweet innocent girl message. That's somebody out there loves you. Yeah people out there that care and Now would have been cool, right? It has been fun watching the internet evolve like this like in defaults Yeah, cuz back when we started covering all this stuff on YMH, which is what this show did originally Yeah, we started this of covering the dark side of the force. Yeah, it used to just be dudes doing stuff Now chicks do it too. Not like hot normal-looking chicks are doing it. There's um, have you noticed too? Have you ever gone threads? Oh occasionally. Yeah, I don't like it. It takes me away from the gram I noticed that there's there's two things I see a lot there One is like comedians being like what am I doing right now with comedy that it sucks And I guess I just see entire engagement people just going back and forth about like Selling tickets and like I didn't get into this for the business side It's like I see like non-stop posts like that and the other one I see are people just talking about their engagement They're like my engagements down this month on this app and but it's higher here and Threads complaining about their traffic on Instagram. Yeah, it's like non-stop. I'm like, how does this always come up? It's so strange. Well, I don't look it's my I don't enjoy Twitter. I just think it is Twitter undefeated Isn't threads the answer Instagram's answer? Well, it's a well. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's there It's there there whatever their version type of it. Yeah, it's on Twitter's undefeated because it's got pornography It's got hate. It's got racism. It's got crazy shit. It's fun. It's real fun.

It's just like absolute dog shit when you're like there's so many good shows out there So I was recommended to watch The day of the jackal Which is a series on peacock and I was like alright, I guess so and I guess I didn't have it So I signed up and I was like this is a highly recommended. I'm gonna watch it. It's unbelievable. It's so good It is so so good. It's if you want like it's Really high production. I think they spent a hundred To a like between a hundred hundred and fifty million on the season. So the production's like top tier really cinematic Great writing great story and and incredible actors Um, yeah a hundred million pounds 120 over hundred twenty million dollars on the season Really good and it's on It's on peacock and I guess they're they're making season two right now But I couldn't recommend it enough if you haven't seen it. It's really good. Well, you've really been deep into it every night I fall asleep and you're watching this show. That's what I'm a sucker for is shit like this It's really it's really good. So a high recommendation if you want something to watch this holiday break and you like Um, you know a high octane thriller with like really great story and acting. Um, I would highly recommend the day of the jackal Yeah, okay. Yeah, I like that actor. He played steven honking eddie What is it eddie rayman red main red main? Yeah. Yeah, it's so good man.

Yeah There's like, you know, does that make sense? He seems like he's really into this shit. I think he loves it He's just really into I heard him say I think it was when he was Accepting something He was accepting an award for something. He was like, I want to be great.

She didn't go back to michigan, you know She went to bejing, but why didn't he propose like she wanted and then they could be married This is one of the this is life.

Oh, and that situation Could have cut somebody in half or taken somebody's head off This person who was video this was very very lucky as you can see the elevator is not going to stop So when I make safety recommendations, it's coming from a place of experience. Okay Yeah, let me tell you something. Yeah, this is it Fucking idiots. See this is why I do prefer Eastern European culture sometimes to Americans Because that danger is built into everyday life in Eastern Europe and you fucking know it and you're like, I'm not getting into that elevator Yeah, like you know also something just from the first frame of that elevator. I would have said I'm taking the stairs No kidding. Yeah But but he has to make a video to tell idiots not to do it. It's like bro.

How do you do? Thank you very much. I appreciate that. This is so exciting for us Like a lot of people we you know, we've worked in comedy now for a while But our whole thing is like, you know the foundation of why you fall in love with comedy is I think when you're a kid When you're a kid, you know, you're watching movies. You're watching tv and you are a huge reason why we fell in love Oh, well sure. Adri man Thanks a lot. Goodbye now No, I get it. I get it. I mean like there's so many. I mean you you've done so many I was thinking today because I was I was looking at like, you know, you're doing so many amazing movies And I was thinking like what's the one that first got me and I think for me the thing that I first saw you in Some of them you some movies you watch, you know out of order was three amigos three amigos for me That's my favorite. Is that really your favorite? Well, yeah It's with two of my best friends. Yeah, and uh, martin short and steve martin martin and steve and uh Yeah, I mean I well Yeah, I think that is my favorite even fletch doesn't don't quite come up. We were talking about that three amigos I love fletch too. Sure, but three amigos I was wondering like when it you guys silly. It's so silly. It is so silly. That's the whole point And was it I mean you just said that these are two of your good friends Yeah, but is it I mean, you know comedians are and comedy actors always trying to like get the You know the last line in the funniest thing was it easy to navigate like it was easy for me easy for you To navigate those two. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Was it but would you guys have to like was there improv a lot in that? Because it feels like it there was there is I I improvised a lot of my movies. So yeah, I think it's important in comedy that People are free to say what they if they're good if they're good, you know To do that and you walked you worked a lot with John Landis I'm afraid so. Yes, your phrase but would he twice It's not a lot. That's not a lot. But did he uh, was he somebody who encouraged that kind of thing? I don't remember. No No, it could be John Landis. I think so. Yeah, well, it's not like John was a comedic genius No, he was just John Landis He he knew where the cameras should be and he knew what to do and let you guys take it from there Yeah, yeah, but was working with your buddies. That was like a thrill. That was fun. Of course. Yeah, yeah And most of the things I do are I have buddies more or less. Yeah working with me. Sure. Yeah Now I heard the the thing you did in vacation where you would go Russ That was an improvised thing. That's me. Yeah Yeah, I've been doing that since the very very first one Russ. Oh, there you are. He's always right next to me when I do it I love that. Yeah, so I start setting it up for the other movies, you know, come right and get them over here Russ. Oh, there you are. Yeah, I know Different Russes Yeah, you're not afraid to be silly and you're not afraid to be physical Well, I think all comedy is physical, frankly. Really? Yeah and and and you know, I mean from the lifting of an eyebrow to You know, biting the lip to smiling to feel prattful. Yes, all these things are physical Yeah, so it has to do with a certain amount of athleticism and timing and that's kind of How comedy comes about and you know, you have to be open to improvisation and And that's that's my favorite. Of course is improvising and doing physical stuff. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Sure. Yeah I haven't obviously seen the docs as it comes out January 1st on CNM But in the trailer There is this moment I wanted to ask you about because I don't know if it's like sometimes they cut They cut trailers and it's a manipulation of what was said but in the trailer It says that you you regretted it was a mistake to leave snl That's that's in the trailer of the doc That's such horseshit. Okay. That's what I was just saying. No, it isn't. Okay. Oh, it isn't horseshit. No, it isn't. It was well In retrospect Yeah I I've always felt that it was too soon. Really? Yeah, I mean when I left it had to do with a girl and Wanting to marry her and all this stuff and she wanted me to be in LA and you know just junk. Yeah So, I mean we were married for about eight months. Oh and that was about it Okay, so in that sense. Yeah, but I mean obviously it worked out for you like leaving. Well, it did but um I still miss it. I really yeah, I watch it here and there and not all the time But I I missed being that guy who said live from new york and And you know just the live aspect too, right? Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you um, do you have any snl? Performers that you enjoy watching over the last, you know, however 20 30 years absolutely not. No What do you think? No namesome. I don't even know man. I mean you see over. Yeah, you're right Chevy yes, that was the last one. Well, here's here's oh kate mckinnon kate mckinnon. Yeah, she's great She's great. She was good. Um, kenan. He's great kenan.

I don't know how to answer You know that they're wonderful every wonderful. Okay. There you go. There's the good answer Would you tell me a little bit about gilda radner? No I did I grew up watching You guys as a very young girl you're too young for that. You're so sweet, but you're the first You're my first Like crush on tv and I was like, I'm gonna marry chevy chase. Oh my god. I'm gonna just I mean look at look at Oh Loved handsome charming fun. You know gilder was a Magic in my opinion. She just Her personality seemed to be an improv in itself just she just was ready and and lovely girl I spent a lot of time with gilder. I think danie actually went with her for a while. Yeah Well, everybody banged her. I mean Really? Oh, so cool. No, that's outrageous. Did you guys all bang on s and l? I'll tell you can you can say now On s and l? Yeah, like the cast did you guys hook up? Hook up? Yeah, I mean bang on the cat. What what the hell's happening to you? She's got a filthy bag I said I was kidding, but look at her. I know she's already her hair standing on end. It's all she thinks about man It's ridiculous. Well, you guys were young and carefree and it was fun Yeah, there's a difference between young and carefree and banging everybody a little bit of a set. Thank you for pointing that out You're welcome. Jesus christina. Oh look at this get it together What a face on you too. Christina really I tell you But you're so you know what I really I mean you're so handsome. Yes. I will say that but you also masterfully play these kind of masturbating characters. Yeah um Like you're also kind of like a lovable Jerk in a lot of the the roles you play which is so hard to do Well, Clark Griswold is the jerk. Yes, and he's a character I play so I think you're right But in real life, I'm not lovable. I'm just a jerk Well, thank you very much. That was great. No, I loved it But wait the other ones because you worked with dan obviously spies like us That was another one. Oh my god that move. I just want Danny. I mean he's the greatest. He is great Yeah, even to now to now. Well, now he lives in Canada. I don't know what he's escaping but So he like Randy. Yeah right there in Canada. Yeah, we go back. We're dead, right? But I don't believe that for a second. They just look but that movie is so Fucking funny. Well, he's the best. I mean It's nice of you To include me in a sense because I just think he's so Wonderful. Dan such a lovable person. Yeah, great guy. Yeah, and um my god like this the chemistry of you guys In this movie is just fantastic. If you have not seen Spies like us it is such a comedy classic. That's what I wanted to ask you because You really in a big way laid the foundation for like comedy movies and studios made There were huge hits and people loved Do you do you have like an actual like impression of thought on why we don't see great Studio comedies really released anymore? Well, I don't know why you don't I don't Um And frankly that's insulting of you really no. Oh I understand what you're saying, but you know, I mean you're asking the guy who Loved doing it and misses it. Well, I don't want to know it's just that like put anybody down. I mean, they're they're good people on and You know for me, it's what make me laugh make me laugh. Yeah, I'm not an easy laffer so It doesn't mean that if you don't make me laugh you stink It's just that um, you're tough. It's got to be a surprise for one thing. Yes I'm out of nowhere. Yeah To get me. Otherwise I can sort of expect it and I know just about everything every trick in the book Sure, you know, yeah, and I don't mean to be overly confident about these things but it's just A fact that I've been around a long time at 82 now. So amazing Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like there is a thing where I mean, it's almost like it's your answer is that you guys were putting out really funny movies And then something happened in the last I feel like in the last 15 years Where studio? That's about right. I don't think I've made a movie in 15 years. That's right. There's that's when it stopped And then and there's just they're not putting out funny stuff though. Like they really aren't there's there's not a lot of funny movies That come out. Well, that's an opinion, of course on your part and I I know what you're saying I don't watch a lot. So I can't be Totally honest about that. I haven't been to to a number of movies that have come out. Yeah When I do turn on the tv and I do see Part of weekend update or something like that. I laugh. Yeah, but um It's really the writing that matters to me and when I was first Hired it was as a head writer not as as an actor. Lauren didn't want me to act for that matter just right Yeah, you just wanted me to write and uh out of Circumstance and tryouts and stuff that everybody had on that show Somehow lauren picked me too But basically I wanted to act. Yeah, I had just been writing for the smothers mother's show, which was a pretty Pretty good tv show on television. Yeah, and uh, I'm glad I said tv show on television So you can tell that I'm 82. Yeah, but uh, yeah, uh, you know, I was just starting a little acting on that show And then lauren and I met in a line Uh for a midnight showing A monic python's holy grail, which of course, they're the greatest of all. Yeah, great and uh anything they do I love particularly with eric and john and um I think I met with lauren the next day Uh in a hotel Yeah, the chateau barman in la where lauren was staying we we didn't really know each other yet But we spent the whole day together laughing And uh, he was telling me about this show that he wanted to start called saturday night live And we went on from there. Wow started picking the cast and Putting it together. Yeah, I will say uh, uh, michael chay and Let's say that lauren was the major operator there and picking the cast and all of those. Yeah, you know, I was with them That's that's all I care about. Yeah. Yeah. I love them. Yeah, of course So do But we can update again, which you start like the guys today I'm saying collin and michael chay that I see on there all the time. Super funny guys. They're really funny. Yeah, I think they're funny Yeah, um, I always see this not that funny. Okay. Yeah, they're funny enough. Yeah, funny enough. Decently funny. Yeah, very funny That I'm always fascinated by Roles that people maybe turn down. Are there any roles that you turn down that you're like, damn, I shouldn't have turned that down Well, none that I say damn I shouldn't have turned that down. Yeah, but there have been some that have been very successful like far as comp For example, really? Yeah. No shit. That was written for me. What come on. Yeah That's crazy. I just didn't think I was the guy who goes uh, my mother once Yeah, that's I think you're right Right feels right for tom. Yeah, my mother's My mother told me that You're right. You're too smart like you're too. I'm too smart clever. No, you are but tommy isn't yeah. No, he's Tom shit Life is like a box Good that is hilarious to picture you. Yeah, okay. Can I guess another improv that I've Suspected can you if you could confirm or deny in Fletch? John cock toast on You know what? I was just watching the Playback of that recently And it's funny because everybody thinks I said John cock toston. Yeah or cock toston. Yeah, but if you listen carefully, it's just John tost toy John cock tost toy To why Yeah, I just so I've heard John John cock tost John John cock tost toy Like that. Isn't that funny just blew my mind because I've seen that movie a million times. Well, thank you for blowing mine. Yeah, dude Yeah, man John John oh and then you have to I doctor doctor doctor doctor doctor doctor doctor doctor Had nothing to do with that. It just came up. I'm just standing there watching you all do it And I thought it was pretty funny. Yeah, doctor doctor doctor doctor, but you know It's easy I also thought watching that inspires like us because they get these super hot like Russian chicks course that I was like oh that one I was like those super hot Russian chicks. The blonde one. Oh, is there one? Is there one? There's a blonde one that was beautiful Oh, I thought there was two. I forgot. The blonde one is Janney's wife. Right. That's right. I remember that. Is there not two girls in it? There is but she's a little she's not attractive that one on the right She's like the jokey one. It's a Russian one. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I was like. Oh god. What was her name? Vanessa um Angel finessa angel. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, but at that very very pretty. I was like, oh So like funny guys get hot chicks. I know. Yeah I was too How come I'm not that guy? How come danny got her and they had a tent? That's cool I ended up with danney's wife. I couldn't do a thing. Yeah, sucks man. Sometimes he just goes that way. She's lovely though They're all the great people That's amazing Can I ask you um, so directors though? Is there any director that you look back on and you go this guy? There's something about how he directs a comedy that stands out to you that you enjoyed or like Helps that I worked with. Yeah. Oh Uh She's like I think Jeremiah Chetchick who whose name doesn't seem to hit you really quickly, but uh, he he directed a Fletch I believe. Yeah Among other things so but yeah, he He was great. You know, it's it's it's just people who sort of know what you can do Excuse me and put you in Fuck it. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry Yeah, oh, it's like you belong here. Yeah, you totally This is perfect. Um, Beverly D'Angelo. Beverly. I'm she doesn't direct. No. No, no, but she Come on. I saw I memorized your pain vacation. Yeah, very funny girl. Fantastic Amy Heckerling directed that one, right? Your pan vacation. Yes, I think you're right. Yeah, Amy Heckerling She was terrific. Yeah did a good job Yeah, because out that movie seemed like a really high budget comedy. I remember being like they went to so many countries It may well have been I I don't know I mean the issue with uh Was directing is put them where Where the lighting's right put them where you've you've blocked it and let them do their thing And Amy was that type of director But so was uh, Michael and uh um I just forgot Michael's last name Um Segura. Yeah, Segura. Yeah. Yeah, he was fantastic. Doesn't matter Oh, yeah, because Eric Idle was in european vacation. He sure was. Yeah, Eric. I love Eric You hit him with your car a few times. Yeah I think you're you're sort of on there. Yeah Right. Yes. Hit him with my car a few times. Yeah. Yeah Yeah Well, I didn't know what I needed to drive in so what the hell's the best. No, no, I'm all right, really It's just a flesh wound. It's just a broke just a flesh wound. Yeah Yeah, okay big ben parliament. Was that an improve improve his improvisation? Just improv. I just uh, yeah Because we couldn't get out of we couldn't get left. Yes, I remember I literally couldn't get left So we were in that situation Literally because you could we couldn't direct traffic there to make the movie that was the traffic and I really was caught That's the short look kids big ben parliament. Yeah by the end it was just uh nuts. Yeah, yeah We watched the we've watched these So many times I know all the vacant. I mean Very nice of you. Thank you. No, I mean like Yeah, it's like um Yeah, to me, it's the same watching you In these movies growing up especially is I look at it the same way as like I looked at like sports heroes You know, I mean like like I'm serious I really did because like it's no because like, you know, I would watch Michael Jordan and bojaks and you're like, oh my god. Look at these guys and that's the same thing to me Yeah, Michael and I are about the same. Yeah, you guys are the same Mike Jordan and me. I think so. I like to call him Mikey. Mikey. Mikey Jordan. Mikey I'm sure he would take that from you You're a chevy chase. Say whatever the fuck you want. I know, you know what? He was a little bit like that really with me Yeah, of course. He admired you Yeah, it was strange. I mean, of course, how could you admire me and not Be amazed and it's Michael Jordan. I'd you know, so is that those things I love if you've obviously met like so many Holy shit level very famous people. Yeah, somebody like that stand out to you as like well a president for instance stands out Yeah, bill clinton and I got very close really But um Gerald Ford for instance Oh, yeah, what a lovely experience that was actually I was just raking him over the course every every week and and loving it because I'm a Democrat and he was a republican basically that was the deal And um, but he was so sweet and invited me to the White house and to stay overnight in the Lincoln bedroom and all of that. No, yeah. Yeah. I mean that you meet some pretty terrific people in this business and uh, and he was one I mean, he was a terrible president. So there's no As far as I'm concerned, but otherwise Everything. Yeah, you you really Yeah, you really went hard on him. I lambasted him That's good How was that? What was it like though staying at the white? Is that like a pretty crazy experience? Yeah, we've done that. Yeah, uh, it's it's uh It's a big white house Yeah, I don't know It's got all these huge rooms. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How about that knocking out half of the white house to build a ballroom for Asshole, yeah, that's bizarre. Wait, but why the sleepover? Why do you think they wanted you to do the sleepover at the white house? Well, they all like to sleep with me? I don't know. What do you mean? I knew it. I knew it. I knew it I knew it Why the slumber party? I think it's a big deal to anybody going there. Yeah. Yeah That to wake up in the morning in the Lincoln bedroom Was uh, you know bacon. Yeah, did you have a butler and stuff? Like did they bring you? I bring my own butler That's smart. No the fishing. Yeah. No, you you spent the night there when Gerald Ford was in office And then in the morning, did you guys like see each other in your jammies like in the hallway? No, but we did I did see him and uh Uh, he almost fell over once and I had to save his life It was very funny. Really? Yeah, he had to give The secretary had to do this thing at his his little What do you call it? podium whatever and Uh, and he started falling and I had we shot and grabbed him help Nothing like he was Unable to do but he's just one of those people who fell down airplanes steps. Yeah And uh, what a great person. Yeah to have his president. Yeah, don't you wish Trump would fall down a few? Geez, it's coming. Yeah, it's coming. Never come up to good old Jerry. Yeah Now I think he's gonna fall pretty soon Some kind of way some kind of way. No, we don't know. Yeah. I don't think it's gonna end well Okay guys I don't want to be a part of that Um Do you have any stories because I have to ask about carlin or prior? Who? George carlin, Richard prior Well, Richard obviously, yeah, George was uh Our first I think it was he our first ever. Yeah. Yeah host of the show I thought he was funny But nobody could touch Richard prior. I mean he was the best. Yeah, and Richard and I got along famously We would we wrote that thing where I said all the bad words You know Bunny and things like that The two of us did that and wrote it and uh, he just played it so well. Yeah. Oh fey You know say and then he didn't he say uh What did he say that was the last one he said Dead honky honky honky honky dead honky. Yeah, that's just beautiful stuff. Yeah. He was so good Legendary sketch. Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, that's a great man Yeah, it was a lot of fun to do that and to be able to do it with somebody who's first of all was black to begin with and and and and to end with but uh, uh In in in front of a huge National audience. Yeah, and and I'd come up with stuff like that and and get great Accolades for and stuff was great I imagine too that because of the way television has evolved and like there's the fact that you can watch so many different things now The viewership of the show when you were on there had to have been like crazy back in the a little bit Right had to be well, it wasn't at the beginning of drugs and pretty I mean 80 82 in that area. Yeah, but there also wasn't What was just the beginning? No, no, it wasn't. Yeah, but um Yeah, uh, it was a time of amazingness. Yeah I'm glad I could say that Time of amazingness, but he's right because millions of people would watch saturday Sure. Yeah, yeah, and it's like I imagine your life went bananas overnight like No, no No, there were situations where I had to have a bodyguard or whatever, but for the most part there was one one situation where uh, I was a little bit Taking it back because I'd I'd go to work. I'd come back like a two in the morning in my apartment And to to my apartment building and I went in around two And the the door man said, oh, there's a package for you. What's the taste? so I Saw that there was a package waiting outside the elevator right there in the Bump floor and I thought you know what there have been threats Recently and I just assumed Somebody came in and to check it out like how about the bomb squad that would be good And the bomb squad came and uh The bomb squad came in and they sort of perused it and looked at it and then one of them went up and kicked it and backed off like this Jesus What if it floated? Yeah, you wouldn't see him again. Did you guys test bombs? That's that's that's that's that's my What was my thought exactly? Oh, so that's what you do. You just kick it But uh, yeah, so that was a pretty funny experience Of course it ended up being I had just had a cold and it ended up being Vegetable soup for me. Yeah from some fan but Thanks for mailing that. Yeah, thanks a lot. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if it was just dropped off or what? Thought she had no man didn't know I know and also like would you eat like soup just left by a stranger? No, I don't need any Anything people give me. Oh, yes, you do Anyway You ever get a really good gift from a fan? You've forgotten anything really cool that you like from a fan from a fan. Yeah uh You know cold hard cash. Yeah I don't know.
