He Asked for Permission to Bash a Band
While Spade has never shied away from making fun of other celebrities, he once asked someone if it would be OK to bash them publicly. Spade must have been a fan of Def Leopard because he asked them permission to say something bad about the band.

In the movie Joe Dirt, one of the characters says, “Def Leopard sucks!” Spade wanted to make sure the band wouldn’t get offended by this, so he asked the band if it was OK to say this. Luckily, they were OK with the insult and didn’t care that the line stayed in the movie.
