DAVE, BE HONEST, AS A VERY ACCOMPLISHED TELEVISION
PRODUCER, HOW HUMILIATING HAS IT BEEN TO RECORD SOME OF THESE
SONGS.
>> HONESTLY, THESE SONGS DON'T EVEN RANK THAT HIGH ON THE LIST
OF HUMILIATING THINGS I'VE DONE FOR THIS SHOW.
I ONE TIME TESTED A GAME CALLED HOT DOGS FROM HEAVEN.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THAT.
>> James: I DON'T REMEMBER HOT DOGS FROM HEAVEN.
WHAT WAS HOT DOGS FROM HEAVEN.
>> IT WAS GOING TO BE CLAYTON QUERSHAW WHERE WE WOULD THROW
HOT DOGS OFFER THE ROOF.

>> James: NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, THAT CAN NOT GET
ANY MORE TRAGIC.

IT CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF CARMEL.
>> NO, THAT WAS LAUREN.
>> James: SHUT THE FRONT DOOR.
THAT IS A.
>> ONE OF THE GREATEST SMALL FORWARDS OF ALL TIME, HE HAD TO
HAVE HIS OWN.
>> THAT IS A GREEN BIRD JOINT.
>> James: I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU HAD THOSE SORTS OF
RHYMES IN YOUR LOCKER.
>> THERE IS A LOT YOU DON'T KNOW, JAMES.
>> James: ALL RIGHT, NOW THIS NEXT ONE, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT,
IS 100 PERCENT TRUE AND THIS SONG VERY NEARLY MADE IT ON THE
SHOW, A PARODY OF CARDI B'S I LIKE IT THAT WAS WRITTEN
ESPECIALLY FOR JIMMIE BUFFETT.
JIMMIE BUFFETT AGREED TO DO IT AND AT THE LAST MINUTE ON THE
DAY HE CANCELLED HIS APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW.

ON HEARING IT A SECOND TIME DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JIMMIE BUFFETT
WAS SICK OR DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ON THE MORNING OF HIS APPEARANCE
HIS PUBLICIST PLAYED HIM THE SOJ AND HE WAS LIKE GET ME OUT OF
THIS SHOW RIGHT NOW?
>> I THINK IT WAS THAT ONE.
>> I'M AFRAID THAT PEOPLE THINK THAT THIS IS A BIT THAT WE CAME
UP WITH, WHERE WE JUST WROTE ALL THIS STUFF LAST WEEK.
>> James: NO.
>> TWO HOURS AWAY FROM DOING THAT ON THE SHOW.
>> James: TWO HOURS AWAY.

BUFFETT BACKED OUT.
YOU WERE ON BOARD.
(LAUGHTER) >> WE WRITE A LOT OF STUFF AND
YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A THROW IT AT THE WALL AND SEE WHAT
STICKS.
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DECIDED THAT STUCK.
