Speaker 1: Hey there, fan Rito's welcome to part two of our
Speaker 1: interview with Dave Coolier. Dave has officially kicked cancers, but
Speaker 1: it has been so eye opening to hear his journey
Speaker 1: and the incredible strength he's managed to keep through it all.
Speaker 1: There is still so much more to catch up on
Speaker 1: and so many great stories and lots of laughs and
Speaker 1: lots of fart noises.
Speaker 2: So without further ado, here's Dave.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So then we got the test back. They said, we
Speaker 4: analyzed biopsy. Now this is probably three weeks ago, and
Speaker 4: they said there's zero, there is nothing, and so I said,
Speaker 4: I'm cancer free.
Speaker 3: And then they said, well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to do one more pet scan just
Speaker 4: because it's kind of like an insurance policy.
Speaker 3: So I'm still going to do that in a few
Speaker 3: more weeks.
Speaker 4: But they just said, look, it's it's not going to
Speaker 4: show anything because you responded exactly how you're supposed to
Speaker 4: respond and there's nothing. There's no cells. So okay, that
Speaker 4: is easy. We had to have the talk and I said, now,
Speaker 4: I said, look, here's where everything's buried, and you know,
Speaker 4: this is what you're going to do, and this is
Speaker 4: who you know, this is where everything is and I
Speaker 4: want you to know where the passwords are and and everything.
Speaker 4: So we had the talk and it was it was surreal.
Speaker 4: We were just sitting there going, we're having the talk
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's a weird one to have.
Speaker 4: But you know, we look back at it now and
Speaker 4: it was like, wow, we were we were really thinking
Speaker 4: rationally through this ARFICD.
Speaker 5: How like it's like your your brain goes into you,
Speaker 5: like emotions sort of get over here.
Speaker 6: You're like, this is just what we have to do
Speaker 6: and we're going to get through it.
Speaker 5: And you're like, wow, it almost feels like robotic when
Speaker 5: there's just like you're like, I how you managed to
Speaker 5: like get things done, but you just sort of put
Speaker 5: all the emotion aside and go through.
Speaker 6: Like okay, so what's your password? If you die?
Speaker 5: You're like, wait what, Yeah, it's yeah, it's it. I
Speaker 5: just am so glad that you have Mel, Like there's
Speaker 5: nobody else in the world that uh would take care
Speaker 5: of you like that, So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Maybe Joel's assistant Marge.
Speaker 6: Marge might have.
Speaker 5: Marge smoking the whole time, though, Yeah, cashing into your
Speaker 5: IV bag. I don't know that that's I don't know
Speaker 5: that you might get rid of the glass in your
Speaker 5: lungs though.
Speaker 6: You just h yeah, you just be full of cigarette ash.
Speaker 3: So there's another Here's another thing I have to tell
Speaker 3: you guys.
Speaker 4: Yesterday Beth Correll, yes, texted me Rich got a double
Speaker 4: lung transplant and he's leaving the hospital I think today. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was like a week or something, right, Yes, Yes,
Speaker 4: a double lung transplant. And you know I talked to
Speaker 4: him a month or so ago when he was trying
Speaker 4: to get on the waiting list. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 4: a big guy, you know, I'm seventy five, and you know,
Speaker 4: they wanted to go to a young person, you know,
Speaker 4: And so I was like whow. And then he texted
Speaker 4: me and he said, I'm on this list now, I'm
Speaker 4: just waiting because it's a double lung transplant.
Speaker 3: So it had to be two. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So he's accepting it. His system isn't rejecting anything. But
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess you guys have already explained to
Speaker 4: your audience who Rich Correll is.
Speaker 3: I'm sure Rich Carrel is one of.
Speaker 5: Our amazing directors, and he was a producer on a
Speaker 5: manner of things that we've all done.
Speaker 4: So and he was what Richie on child actor Yeah,
Speaker 4: and his father was Andy of Amos and Andy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Like they were the most famous comedy team on radio.
Speaker 4: And it's weird because I guess we can talk about this.
Speaker 7: This is something that is is very outdated and and
Speaker 7: is part of our our weird historical past. But they
Speaker 7: were on the radio, but they were an extremely popular show.
Speaker 4: They were the biggest stars in the world. And you know,
Speaker 4: and rich hung out with Boris Karloff was like.
Speaker 5: You know, like to make things in the little weird
Speaker 5: things in the basement, make stuff pretty incredible. But I
Speaker 5: heard that he had that double lung transplant and I
Speaker 5: was like, oh my god, that's incredible, and that he
Speaker 5: was like up the next day walking around and doing
Speaker 5: It's really interesting now, like the difference between you know,
Speaker 5: thirty years ago, it was like you had something replaced,
Speaker 5: a knee, a hip, along whatever. It was like you
Speaker 5: laid in bed and you didn't do anything and you
Speaker 5: just stayed there. And now they're like, actually, that's the
Speaker 5: worst thing you can do. Your body needs to sort
Speaker 5: of keep going in order to you know, acclimate itself.
Speaker 6: So it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, Yeah, So I was really happy that, you know.
Speaker 3: She texted me that good, Yeah, because I always used
Speaker 3: to do that, Hey you Ricky, what's your name? And
Speaker 3: I'm like, uh, Gilbert, and so I texted.
Speaker 4: I texted Beth back and I said, tell Ricky that
Speaker 4: Gilbert says hello.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Rich could never remember a lot of people's names. Like
Speaker 1: he still calls me Andrea, like he's never gotten my name.
Speaker 5: Right, years there was an ex or something of his
Speaker 5: that was Andrea, and so he's like it just comes.
Speaker 6: Out, and I mean Andrea, Andrea Andria.
Speaker 2: Right, He'll just say, like, hey, big guy. He just
Speaker 2: calls everybody these little nicknames instead.
Speaker 5: Look as you get older, just call people random nicknames
Speaker 5: and then you never have to remember their names. It
Speaker 5: makes it much easier. That's a good strategy, buddy, Buddy, I.
Speaker 4: Had a friend who was a really bad alcoholic, and
Speaker 4: he just just called everybody Jimmy, Hey, Jimmy.
Speaker 2: It looks like simplifies things, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He called Stamos. John knew him.
Speaker 4: My buddy's name was Digger was his nickname, and he
Speaker 4: called Stamos Jimmy.
Speaker 2: Stamos, oh man, Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I couldn't remember anybody's name. So everybody was Jimmy,
Speaker 3: I was like, that's yeah.
Speaker 1: It's so hard to believe that we're in this stage
Speaker 1: of life where this is like people are having lung
Speaker 1: transplants or cancer or we're losing.
Speaker 2: People, Like what do we were doing? Ful House?
Speaker 1: People were getting married and having babies and getting married again,
Speaker 1: and now We're approaching this next stage of life and
Speaker 1: I'm just not quite ready for it. I'm not quite
Speaker 1: ready to accept that, because that's really it's very sobering.
Speaker 3: Boy.
Speaker 4: I really am a spark of humor for your show,
Speaker 4: are I?
Speaker 2: You are?
Speaker 8: Though?
Speaker 1: You're a bright spot because we just we love you
Speaker 1: so much, and even if you came on and cried
Speaker 1: and were depressed today, you know we would love it.
Speaker 1: We would just love you in any form funny.
Speaker 8: I'm going to do that as soon as I fine, did.
Speaker 1: You ring the bell? I know last time we text

Speaker 3: You can't do Billy the Bell.
Speaker 2: You can't do Billy the Bell.
Speaker 3: You guys want to explain who Billy the Bell was? No, No, okay.
Speaker 6: I can't edited out anyway.
Speaker 3: So I can't do any of my characters.
Speaker 2: You can do well, but you can't do Billy the bell.
Speaker 8: You can't do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3: I can't do any of my characters back in the day.
Speaker 2: Did you ring the cancer bell? That's the question.
Speaker 4: I was so excited to get out of there after
Speaker 4: the last one that we walked out and we're driving
Speaker 4: home and Mel goes, you forgot to ring the bell?
Speaker 3: And I said, oh, yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 2: That's all right when you go back for your pet scan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's talk about the other great news, if
Speaker 1: that's okay.
Speaker 3: You're a grandpa, I am a grandpa.
Speaker 2: You're a recent grandpa. What's the timeline of all of this?
Speaker 2: When was the baby born? And then when did you
Speaker 2: get the good news that your cancer?

Speaker 5: the Suxedo Anyway, he was on recently and he said
Speaker 5: he felt Bob's ghost on twenty four. He was like,
Speaker 5: I just feel like he's like he comes in and
Speaker 5: pops around there, and I was like, that would be
Speaker 5: about right. He's just looking to get into a scene
Speaker 5: talk to somebody.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I have Bob enters my dreams like all the time.
Speaker 4: And I didn't realize how much Bob was a part
Speaker 4: of my subconscience. But there are so many bits that
Speaker 4: I could only do with Bob because I had to
Speaker 4: connect on this just nuts level.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: It takes a certain kind of person that you to
Speaker 5: meet you to match your your crazy you know what
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'll you know, and I'll think I'll be
Speaker 4: driving in my truck somewhere, I don't think, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: I got to tell Bob, and I'm like, I can't.
Speaker 3: There's no and there's no one I can you know,
Speaker 3: share this bit with because they're just going to go,
Speaker 3: you're out of your mind.
Speaker 4: I can't do the fishing line I reeled Bob in
Speaker 4: from across the room.
Speaker 3: I can't do that. I can't, you know.
Speaker 4: And every Christmas, around the holidays, Bob would sing like
Speaker 4: what is it?
Speaker 3: The song and the bells or.
Speaker 4: You know, it would go on for like, you know,
Speaker 4: you've got messages from Bob.
Speaker 3: It was like a five minute voicemail where he wouldn't
Speaker 3: stop right And I have I have.
Speaker 4: I've saved everyone's voicemails since twenty oh six. Oh wow, wow,
Speaker 4: I've saved all these voicemail.
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm going to do with him.
Speaker 4: But occasionally, when I'm thinking of Bob, I'll go back
Speaker 4: and I'll go, oh, here's a beauty from twenty eleven.
Speaker 5: You know, that's one of the weird sort of benefits
Speaker 5: of you know, this digital age we live in. Is
Speaker 5: it used to be you could never you would realize
Speaker 5: you couldn't hear that person's voice again, or you couldn't
Speaker 5: you know, And now we have all these little ways
Speaker 5: to sort of keep them alive and laughing and remember them.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: It's yeah, and just in videos, you know, videos that
Speaker 4: he would.
Speaker 3: Send me and just yeah.
Speaker 5: And it was always very busy. He's like, this is
Speaker 5: my life. I'm very busy.
Speaker 2: He would call you to tell you he's busy and
Speaker 2: he can't talk right now.
Speaker 3: I gotta go. I don't like you called me. I
Speaker 3: gotta go. O. Don't just don't call me next time.
Speaker 6: This is almost all the whole things. And it was
Speaker 6: so weird that you were just like.
Speaker 10: I don't even know what it's supposed to, you know,
Speaker 10: I have no idea and that, and he loved doing
Speaker 10: the theme from uh and open his Chest.
Speaker 3: That I can recall what Bob you used to do.
Speaker 3: That was a song called Incense and Peppermints.
Speaker 5: It's a great song, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we turned it into something totally weird.
Speaker 4: And it's funny because I will start it and everybody
Speaker 4: kicks in.
Speaker 6: I think the.
Speaker 5: Next uh, you know, in ye many years from now,
Speaker 5: when someone one of us has crossed our little rainbow bridge.
Speaker 5: I think we need to all the remaining members of
Speaker 5: the Valouse cast need to sing that in a choir.
Speaker 1: Yes, at the funeral, it's fine.
Speaker 4: And then go and then take it on the road
Speaker 4: and do it as a Christmas carol.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: And whoever in the casket is the ghost of Christmas past?
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4: Well, it's got to be me, John and Bob, right,
Speaker 4: I mean you got to be the first three to go,
Speaker 4: oh God, don't.
Speaker 2: See that, Dave, don't see that.
Speaker 5: And there's no way to respond to that because you're like, no,
Speaker 5: but sort of.
Speaker 6: But also the chances are one of us could go You're.
Speaker 2: Like, that's I know.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised the rest of us are still here.
Speaker 5: Well look, I'm throwing myself down as many stairsas.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, Jody, I mean, man, yeah, you're one step
Speaker 4: away from wearing a hockey helmet, you are.

Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a great movie that was out in the
Speaker 5: early eighties seventies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Tim Allen's in it and Chris Rock and
Speaker 4: me and uh Scooter McLain.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: I think Dane Cook is in it. I forget, but yeah,
Speaker 4: like a lot of comedians. But but I play Abbie Thatcher,
Speaker 4: who is Bill W's be And Abbie Thatcher was really
Speaker 4: the guy who started AA.
Speaker 6: It was the first one that went out and shared
Speaker 6: the message.
Speaker 4: Yes and yeah, because he would go in the Oxford
Speaker 4: group and then he talks Bill W. They were big
Speaker 4: drinking buddies and they did some pretty wild things in
Speaker 4: their day.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be nice to do a period piece.
Speaker 4: It's a use first in the nineteen thirties and nineteen
Speaker 4: thirty seven.
Speaker 5: So that's a very story here to my heart, and
Speaker 5: I love yeah.
Speaker 6: The legend and sort of lore around that.
Speaker 5: I mean it's you can go back to Akron, Ohio
Speaker 5: and the house is there, and yeah, it's pretty impactful.
Speaker 6: They've change again, changed a lot of people's lives. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so by letting the worst.
Speaker 6: Parts out, which is kind of what I think teaches.
Speaker 5: Everybody the biggest lessons and sort of humanizes all of us,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's minutes. Yeah, it definitely peels away
Speaker 4: the layers, you know. It's yeah, you know, talk about
Speaker 4: exposing who you really are, you know, I mean, that'll
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 6: I said hello, and we send our love.
Speaker 3: I will.
Speaker 4: Are you doing stand up? I see little bits here
Speaker 4: and there promoting I am?
Speaker 6: And I actually need to call back.
Speaker 5: A Craig Shoemaker because he keeps wanting me to open
Speaker 5: for him when he's doing some shows here in LA.
Speaker 8: But I did.
Speaker 5: I did my friend Jeremiah's stand up show again, stand
Speaker 5: up on the Spot, which is you go in front
Speaker 5: of the audience and they just yell out things and
Speaker 5: you build a routine around you know whatever ten minutes are.
Speaker 3: It's fun.
Speaker 5: But I opened for I was right before Polly Shore
Speaker 5: and oh my god, that was insane.
Speaker 6: Talk about insane. It was such a it was a
Speaker 6: hilarious show.
Speaker 5: Everyone's phones were locked away, so let me.
Speaker 6: He went went off and it was wild.
Speaker 5: But it was really fun. So that's that was a
Speaker 5: clip that just came out. And then I'm starting another
Speaker 5: a new live show here in LA that is going
Speaker 5: to be a comedy pageant.
Speaker 3: Comedy pageant, interesting, a comedy pageant.
Speaker 5: We're going to make comedians compete in typical pageant things.
Speaker 6: It's called Yeah, it's going to be called the Smoke
Speaker 6: Show with Sweeten.
Speaker 5: A comedy pageant where they have to do talents, but
Speaker 5: they don't know what talents they're going to have to do.
Speaker 5: They just answer ridiculous questions, you know, all kinds of
Speaker 5: fun stuff. So should be really fun and everybody seems
Speaker 5: to be very when you're.
Speaker 3: Out in LA, you'll have to go that's great.
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes I miss it, you know, I if
Speaker 4: I you know, wake up and I'm oh, that would
Speaker 4: be a funny bit, or this would be a funny bit,
Speaker 4: you know. But to actually go out and do it
Speaker 4: and try to get a new hour together, it takes.
Speaker 3: A year at least. And you got to be gone.
Speaker 4: And when Adam Sandler was here, he played Little Caesar's Arena,
Speaker 4: and Kevin James was there, and Rob Schneider and Binder
Speaker 4: went up and did a set, and we're standing there
Speaker 4: and it's seventeen thousand people and I'm standing backstage.
Speaker 3: Mel and I just went to go hang out.
Speaker 4: And so we're I'm standing there and Binder's on stage,
Speaker 4: and Kevin James is next to me, and Adam's next
Speaker 4: to me, and we're just kind of looking at seeing,
Speaker 4: you know, like, how's he doing. He's doing okay, He's
Speaker 4: doing good. Because that was just when Mike was starting
Speaker 4: to do stand up again. So so Sandler looks at me.

Speaker 4: and I'm going out, hey, where are you from? You know,
Speaker 4: I want to do some crowd work. But it was fun.
Speaker 4: It was very tempting to like eh, you know, but
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 5: It's fun and I'll never forget Binder gave me, you know,
Speaker 5: my first chance to get up on stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 6: Lean to me.
Speaker 3: Are you still enjoying it? Is?
Speaker 8: I love it?
