What insights does Eddie Vedder share about the Seattle grunge scene?
To be honest, there was a real thing in Seattle where ambition was kind of looked down upon.
I can see that.
But the one at 10, I was pretty hammered. That was a surprise. Well, they sent me the script. Dana, we were going to, we were going to.
Yeah, for a moment.
I was excited for SNL.
I couldn't believe you were even possibly going to do that with me.
And the next thing you know, they had me dressed up as a pirate.
Oh, that's right.
I didn't really agree to that.
Edward Vedder. You know him as Eddie Vedder.
What was Eddie Vedder's experience like on Saturday Night Live in 1991?
I know him as Ed. Very good friend.
Singer-songwriter, was one of the original, the Pearl Jam.
Pearl Jam, everybody knows Pearl Jam.
Pearl Jam, one of the iconic bands out of Seattle in the 90s. So we got to talk to Eddie Vedder, which was really interesting.
He's got a documentary out about EB, which is a skin condition, which is quite a rough ride.
And he has spent 15 years along with his wife battling this disease with benefits that you and I have done to raise money for research.
Doctors, scientists, got everyone on board, everyone on deck. On a lighter note, when I was on SNL, I remember that I did a joke where I go, Stone Temple Pilots. a new album i like these guys the first time i saw them when they were called pearl jam it was one of those oh really so as if it was a total rip yeah and then because he's like right and i feel around the way to go so so then stone temple came on about four months later and then marcy klein comes up she goes David Stone Temple wants you to come down to rehearsal. And I go, oh. And she goes, actually, wait, don't go. The guy wants to kick the shit out of you.
How does Eddie Vedder compare music and stand-up comedy?
And I go, oh.
Oh, because, okay, that hit too close for a joke saying you're kind of like this band. Of course. Bands don't want to hear that, although Eddie Vedder, he's got the voice. He's got a voice that's instantly, with its phrasing and his tenor, is instantly recognizable.
Yes, I take him through the top rock voices of all time, and I told him, I said, I can't promise you're on it. It's whatever my list is, my list. Don't get mad.
That was a tense moment in the interview.
Very tense. but scott wyland actually just to say as a caveat that did happen but i did run into him years later because i do like stone temple pilots most people made fun of him right and so he was uh changed his tune was very cool very cool uh you know you it's hard to explain that in that particular joke
the triple name, there's an official, you know, like Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots. There was probably a reason that you picked that band because you could have picked Creed or, you know, whatever.
You would have picked Helen Reddy.
With eyes wide open.
What is the significance of Eddie Vedder's new Netflix documentary on EB?
They're great. But anyway, back to Eddie Vedder.
Oh, right. Eddie Vedder is our guest. A lot of fun.
We crack up, um, thoughtful and interesting interview and we do like and for those deep dive fly on the wall frequent flyers we do yeah gervitz because he knows gervitz so look for that
He's Mark Gervitz's very good friend and he's our manager. And so we always do this. Well, David really started it. Make fun of Mark Gervitz. It doesn't really sound like him, but it's funny. It's a frequency. It's an exaggeration.
It's funnier the way we do it than the real life.
What personal stories does Eddie Vedder share about his life and career?
Yeah, yeah. Well, that's I love impressions that go to an abstraction.
All right. Here's our boy.
Gotta do it. Thanks for coming on. What do you want to talk about?
Hi, Eddie.
Can you hear us?
Hey, David, I can hear you great. Good, good.
You know, Eddie, I have a cool hat like that too.
We've traded hats before.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
How did Martin Short influence Eddie Vedder to quit smoking?
There it is.
You still got it. Wow. It's a little sweaty because as you can see, because I'm a bit of a rocker and sometimes I sweat when I'm working.
We're kind of rockers too in a way. I mean, not in the way you are, but you know.
Oh, I would say absolutely you are.
No, no. Nope. We're never, we're, I guess that's the pinnacle in a way as a little kid of just, in a band. I mean, I was in a band with my brother, you know, I had a Hardy boys book as a snare and a kick drum was a basket and he had a one string guitar.
