1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. Rob Schneider was one of my 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: favorite SNL characters over the years. I'm gonna taste a favorite, 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: but I always felt like I appreciated him more than 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: probably others at his level. He was not a rock 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: star in the SNL category, but he was funny. And 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: maybe part of that was when I was in college, 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: we all watched Saturday Night Live, and we all went 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: into an area called the Underground, and I was student 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: body president, so we would come into my office and 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: everybody would come out office, and we would talk about 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the meeting that was coming up and student concerns and 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: this and that, and you know college stuff, and when 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: we would interact with each other, all the student organizations 14 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: would be there. So I'd go past the Black students, 15 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: and I'd go past the Indian students, and I'd go 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: past the homos, and I'd go past this group and 17 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: this group, and you would call out to each one 18 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: of them as you went by, and I would call out, 19 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: like my buddy Joel Richards was head of the Black students, 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: and I'd say, hey, Joel sitting in his office. And 21 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: that whole goofy bit came from this Saturday Night Saturday 22 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Night Live skit that Rob Schneider was the star of. 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if he conceived it, but it was brilliant. 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: So this is a five minute clip. In case you 25 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: don't like it, you can fast forward, but it's one 26 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: of my all time favors. His office. You have to 27 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: understand the context. He was stuck. He was given the 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: office in the copy room. So when you're the low 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: guy on the totem pole and they don't have space 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: for you even in the bullpen, they put you in 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: the copy room, or they put you in the coffee room. 32 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: Well they put him in the copy room and then 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: the coffee machine. They ended up having to move things 34 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: out of there because you couldn't go in and do 35 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: whatever you needed to do without him calling out to 36 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: you because he was so lonely. Everybody has this guy 37 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: at work or girl who when she sees you pass 38 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: in the hallway, she has to say hello, and so 39 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: you dread it. So you wait till they're gone to 40 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: the bathroom or whatever to pass by there.
