Hi guys.

Adhir Kalyan

Hey, how are you?

David Spade

How are you?

Adhir Kalyan

All good.

Young Hollywood

Um Why are you laughing? Just because he's just no energy. He's like, Hey. He's like, hello.

David Spade

I know the most I can get to is a two out of 10.

Young Hollywood

Let's try to get you out of seven. What will it take?

David Spade

I'm gonna kick it. If they play move yourself by Eminem, which I do before each scene. I get really into it.

Young Hollywood

Lose yourself.

David Spade

Lose yourself.

Adhir Kalyan

Lose yourself.

Young Hollywood

By the M&M?

David Spade

Yeah. M&M is the Joe Dirt premiere. Can you believe it? You guys high five?

Adhir Kalyan

I think he was lost. I don't know why he was there.

David Spade

He The funny thing about my premiere is all my invitations never got sent out, so not even people my own show came. No one know it was there. Eminem strolls in.

Young Hollywood

Is that what they told you? They never sent you the invitations?

David Spade

No.

Adhir Kalyan

Dear, we have to get to the um interview with Mike Wallace.

David Spade

We don't have to. No, I know it's all done anyway. Um it it doesn't matter.

Young Hollywood

So guys, this episode today kinda looks funny. It's all the time really. It's the dynamic that the audience wants to see. Because they're they're couples like us.

David Spade

Yeah.

Adhir Kalyan

Back and forth.

David Spade

Uh-huh.

Adhir Kalyan

The uh Exactly. Jeff and Audrey.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Did you guys have this chemistry right away? Because it definitely seems like you guys play off of each other quite naturally. Was it like that from the beginning?

David Spade

What chemistry? I was told he was here for three episodes, so I was cool to him because I thought this is kinda gonna be in and out. And then uh then he stuck around, so these decisions are made above my head, so you know, it's work.

Adhir Kalyan

You know, people ask me, what's it like working with David Spade on a day-to-day basis? Heinous. It's not gonna go well. It's um it's it's as trying as you would think it would it would be. In fact, it's so unpleasant that I wish that I had my character's life in the show. Um because he can deal with it. He can deal with it.

David Spade

Here's here's a day on the set with me in the morning. I'm like, you know, this reminds me of a scene we did on just shoot me and then when all the crew guys go, They always go, like I did that movie Grown Ups, oh, thanks, a few people saw it. Grown Ups was the most fun I ever had. But they go, tell us about the hilarious things that happens every day and you go, cannot think of one.

Adhir Kalyan

That was me. I was sitting there in the interview. I didn't get a word in, because obviously five funniest guys in the entire world. And I just sat there. Didn't know what to say.

Young Hollywood

So you guys do hang out.

Adhir Kalyan

Well, Spade to me if I don't if I can jump in here. Can I?

David Spade

Welcome back in a little bit. But um We're talking.

Adhir Kalyan

But Young Hollywood talked. Just one question. So what's the movie about? Just a little question.

David Spade

Yeah. Yeah, we just take over. Usually Schneider talks the most, and then I talk second most, and then Adam just sits back and he evaluates what we say to to see how he docks our pay later. Adam's awesome. He literally just sat there like this. Like OG status. He's OG. He's like Jay-Z and we're like the new rappers. Trying to impress him. So stupid.

Young Hollywood

The show's doing really, really well. Did you guys expect this when you first got the the script for the show?

David Spade

I'm just gonna be straight with you here because that's the way I am. I'm a straight shooter. Yeah. All right. Um I can I can see you're wearing like skinny jeans there. It's it's it's it's really working on your figure. You can pull it off. Um Uh I'm saying for me.

Adhir Kalyan

Don't even about me is it. Let's start. We're heading somewhere with this. Long wind up. Guys, I mean, I can't complete the story if you're speaking. Um in the interview, you're just gonna see like a sleeve of my like just my arm. Be like, who's that Indian? Now, to us. Sorry.
