Transcript

[Narrator]

Family trips with the Miles brothers. Family trips with the Myers.

[Seth Meyers]

Brothers. Here we go. Hey, Bashi.

[Josh]

Hey, Sufi.

[Seth Meyers]

How you doing?

[Josh]

I'm good.

[Seth Meyers]

My brother, my pal.

[Josh]

I'm good. I am. Last night, I went to the LA premiere of the Housemaid, and it was really fun.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, wow, that's fun.

[Josh]

Yeah, really fun. And I blew it. You know, I've not met Paul Feig in person.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, I see.

[Josh]

And he was there, and I was just chatting with a lot of people, and then he was gone by the time I sort of made a play to go talk to him, which was, you blew it.

[Seth Meyers]

You gotta always go to the family trips. Guest first.

[Josh]

Yeah, I know, but it was really fun. And he, you know, in the intro, he's like, you know, this is not a church. Feel free to, like, react to things on screen. Like, a lot of it is, like, very dramatic. A lot of it is very funny. And it is, like, there is a great sense of humor that he obviously has that he brings to something that isn't, I feel like, isn't always a humorous situation, but a really fun and really fun night.

[Seth Meyers]

Was Amanda Seifer there?

[Josh]

Yes. And she's so good in the movie. They're all so good.

[Seth Meyers]

And, yeah, she's growing into one of my favorite Late Night with Seth Meyers guests.

[Josh]

Yeah, you mentioned that. And I don't know if she was at the party, but I know she was there at the screening or at the premiere, and I was gonna tell her that, but again, I'm starting to.

[Seth Meyers]

Wonder who you did talk to.

[Josh]

Well, there's a gal that lives in our building who, like, we've not seen socially ever. This girl Allie, who came up to mackenzie and I and had a nice time talking to her. And then there's someone else who this girl who wrote a movie that our friend Amber Ruffin might be in, so chatting with her and her husband. So, yeah, there's lots of.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm gonna go see our friend Ike Barinholtz in a Broadway show tonight.

[Narrator]

Hell, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Very excited. He's doing Simon Rich's new play, which I think is called All Out. The last one was called All In. All right, this one's called All Out. Very excited to see Ike.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Very excited to hit Broadway.

[Josh]

Yeah. Speaking of theaters, a friend of ours, Christy Bush, her boyfriend is an actor right now, and she sent me. She's like, we're at the Soho Playhouse and we just met this cat. Do you know anything about this?

[Seth Meyers]

No.

[Josh]

Do you want to guess what the cat's name is? No, Seth Meyers.

[Seth Meyers]

What? Soho Playhouse. Where?

[Josh]

I think London. Cause I know there's one in New York, too, but.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, we did pickups and hiccups at the Soho Playhouse.

[Josh]

There is a cat there named Seth Meyers. And I was like, wait, what?

[Seth Meyers]

That's insane. Yeah, I'm like, I don't quite know how to react to this news.

[Josh]

Yeah, let's see.

[Seth Meyers]

The funniest thing would be if it's. Oh, no, that's a coincidence. It has nothing to do with you.

[Josh]

Yeah, that's a little blurry, but that's.

[Seth Meyers]

There you go.

[Josh]

That's Seth Meyers the cat.

[Seth Meyers]

I mean, now I might be back in London in February. Maybe I'll go check out Seth Meyers the cat.

[Josh]

You should.

[Seth Meyers]

I almost went by the soho Theater. I also almost walked by the German Street Theater where we did a run of boom Chicago shows. Yeah, I was just a little busy. But I'm not ashamed to go pop my head in a place with old memories.

[Josh]

Stomping grounds.

[Seth Meyers]

The old stomping grounds is old stomping grounds. This is the most you and I have ever looked. Like the Proclaimers.

[Josh]

Well, yeah. You threw your glasses on, which is very rare. Is it?

[Seth Meyers]

I wanted to just put them on because I'm wondering if. And beep it out, Sam, because I don't want to give free promo to a glasses company if they're not going to pay the freight of being a sponsor. Who makes your glasses? Okay, Gotcha. Yeah, beep that, Sam. Don't let them hear it.

[Josh]

Who makes your glasses beep that, Sam?

[Seth Meyers]

I guess. Bleep. We've actually had an argument at the show. I guess it's technically you bleep it. You don't beep it.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. Do you know what. Do you. What would you. What would you spell? What? How would you spell what the roadrunner says?

[Josh]

Oh, is it a meep or a beep?

[Seth Meyers]

It is a meep. I think technically it's a meme. Well done.

[Josh]

Yeah. Yeah. One little bit of housekeeping. Cause I'm pretty sure this is gonna come out after a holiday listener episode. We talked about Andra a lot. She had her story about shmada, and we kept referring to her as Andra. And her name is Andra.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, apologies, Andra.

[Josh]

So the number of times we said it, I feel like she'll be like, come on. First my shmada.

[Seth Meyers]

And it was such a killer story, too.

[Josh]

Yeah. For.

[Seth Meyers]

You're right. First your shmata.

[Josh]

And then we just pile indignity on indignity. Yeah. So, Andra, everyone. And we apologize.

[Seth Meyers]

Andrew.

[Josh]

End of the year. Sufi. End of the year.

[Seth Meyers]

I talked to mom and dad today.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

You know, just to timestamp this for people when we're recording it. The Steelers won last night, and that means I can call our parents.

[Josh]

Yeah. Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins.

[Seth Meyers]

When they lose, I just. It's like, you know, nobody wants to talk to anybody.

[Josh]

Yeah. Although there was. There's a text chain of Dad's, you know, childhood best friend, best man at their wedding. Denny. Friend of ours. Yeah. And so there's a text chain with the four of us and then Denny. And, you know, there's some. Always some, like, here we go, Steelers.

[Seth Meyers]

Yep.

[Josh]

Text blast through. And then mom just totally throws dad under the bus. She's like, your father decides to go to a Celtics game with his cousin. So I'm here watching the game. There's at least one Steeler fan here.

[Sam (Producer)]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

She threw him right in the Celtics game. Although, even dad, though, he had a chance to just be like, hey, I'm at the Celtics game. But then he. He copped to the fact that he thought the Steelers are playing Sunday night, which is at that point. That's a little bit. Come on, man.

[Josh]

Yeah. And get it together. And he texted this morning and said, like, I'm going to watch the game this morning, and I'm excited. And it's like, well, but you know what happens? But I guess he's retired.

[Seth Meyers]

No, I mean, I. I don't put. I don't blame anybody for that. Yeah. There was something else. Oh. One of the things I talked to them about, they're very excited. They're already talking about how they're gonna go see Marty supreme with you on Christmas Day.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. And I just interviewed Gwyneth Paltrow, and because I did that, I got to watch Marty Supreme. I'm very excited for you guys.

[Josh]

Oh, so am I. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Mom also asked, do you think I'd like sinners? What do you think the answer to that question is?

[Josh]

I think she will. I think she'd like sinners.

[Seth Meyers]

I think she will, too.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah. I think it's more for her than it is for dad, but.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I don't think dad would like sinners.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I think the safe bet for anything concerning dad is to just bet the under.

[Josh]

Yeah. So I'm very excited. I've started doing this thing where I'll get alerts for when movies are going to go on sale, tickets, and I was in New York for Thanksgiving when the Marty Supreme Christmas Day tickets went on sale. And I just feel like I had that three hour jump on the west coast because I was with it because they go on sale at like 6:30 in the morning. So 9:30am New York. I was just like, I'm buying 10 doing it.

[Seth Meyers]

And wow. Another Christmas Day movie, I think is that Anaconda movie with Paul Rudd and Jack Black. And I had Jack Black on as well. And it's very exciting to see Jack Black always because he's Jack Black. But the kids like love Jack Black. First they didn't quite know why they loved him because he's Kung Fu Panda. And then we saw that Minecraft movie.

[Josh]

Yep.

[Seth Meyers]

Then they watched the Jumanjis. Okay. And because of that, I said, hey, I think it's time to watch School of Rock.

[Josh]

Oh my gosh.

[Seth Meyers]

Which is really just a perfect film.

[Josh]

It's amazing.

[Seth Meyers]

And, and it was so fun. And also the movie works the way his character works in the movie, which is the movie introduces your kids to like AC dc.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And because of that, we've been listening to a lot of AC DC ever since we saw School of Rock. So it's a total, it's a, it's the biggest win win of all time. Oh, that's great.

[Josh]

Jack Black's like. I mean, we obviously, you know, we were big Tenacious D fans and sometimes with actors, they, you know, they are performers and they will have this like, skill that unless you really tap into it, unless you give them a stage on which to show you what they things they might have been doing in like high school and college. Like, Jack Black has just an amazing voice. And if I can refer to one of your SNL alums as well. Like last year this time I saw an Anagos Sty holiday show and it's just like, oh wait, you like have this other level voice that it's just like I'm always, I'm always so impressed. And yeah, I love.

[Seth Meyers]

Fantastic.

[Josh]

Love her. Performer. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Love her. I mean, yeah. The fact that her and Maya Rudolph were on a cast together.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Nuts. Oh, also, by the time you listen to this, I will my day drinking with Sabrina Carpenter.

[Sam (Producer)]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And I am just gonna tell you now, Pashi, I got a little inebriated and thought it would be good if she and I sung together. And it's funny, like when you hear your terrible voice next to a person with a perfect voice, it is really just like, oof, worse than I thought.

[Josh]

It wasn't like, was it her and Paul Simon at the 50th. Yeah, SNL 50th. It was not that.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, but I'm taller. Well, hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. Support for family trips comes from Airbnb. Oh, Pashi. We've had so many nice just vacations recently where we booked homes through Airbnb and had an extra special time. I remember in Amsterdam this summer, just every morning waking up and Ash and I sitting at just a beautiful breakfast table in a sun kissed room, eaten our weird Dutch waffles and it was the best. And I really had a great amount of appreciation for the host of that home who opened up their doors to us. And it got me thinking, you know, maybe that's something I'd want to do.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah, you should do that.

[Seth Meyers]

Cause I'm away, you know, and when I'm away, why not let somebody else enjoy my home? And let's be honest, Paji, make a little scratch on the side. You know what I mean?

[Josh]

Yeah. Do you think if I come to stay at your place that I might have to use Airbnb?

[Seth Meyers]

You can stay there, but you're gonna pony up.

[Josh]

Well, it'd be worth it.

[Seth Meyers]

It would be.

[Josh]

Cause you have. You have a lovely apartment.

[Seth Meyers]

Great spot, great spot. Good mattresses.

[Josh]

Can't confirm.

[Seth Meyers]

And a toothpaste that has so few chemicals in it, I can't believe it cleans your teeth. You guys, your home could be worth more than you think. Find out how [e-mail] Host support comes from Rula. Hey, Bhaji.

Well, this game is very creatively named Guess that. Guess.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, okay.

[Josh]

That is good. That's good.

[Game Host]

So I have a single quote from guests of this year only. So only from 2025.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Game Host]

And you have to try to guess who it is and then I'll play a little clip once you guys get it or I tell you, don't get it?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Gosh, I wish I had a list of all our guests. There's so many, Zufi.

[Seth Meyers]

There's so many.

[Game Host]

I actually, can I have them right here if you want me to paste the whole list so at least you know who you're choosing from.

[Seth Meyers]

I think we go blind.

[Josh]

I think we go. Let's go blind.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Game Host]

Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

I think let's go blind and do badly.

[Josh]

Yeah. The thing that's going to be trouble is if you say. And I'm like, oh, it's the woman who's in. She's in this, this.

[Seth Meyers]

And if you mom it.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a tendency to mom it.

[Game Host]

Well, we can always add the names in later if you guys need it.

[Seth Meyers]

Right.

[Game Host]

Also, we have to point out that we're wearing. Josh and I are wearing our latest family trips.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, family trips and sweatshirts. Still not available in stores. But one of these days, we're gonna get it together.

[Josh]

Yeah, maybe we do that in 2026. Maybe we set up a little merch shop. You don't have to do it, Seth. I can tell with your. Yeah. That you were like, that's a bad idea.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, no, let's do it.

[Game Host]

All right, you guys ready for the first quote?

[Josh]

Yeah, please.

[Game Host]

Okay. First one is I delivered my second in the front seat of the car.

[Josh]

It's a woman.

[Seth Meyers]

I think, or somebody who is a pizza delivery guy.

[Josh]

Yeah, I delivered my second. I don't know, I might need that list somehow.

[Seth Meyers]

I'm very surprised that I can't remember someone's harrowing story about delivering a second in the front seat of a car.

[Game Host]

It'll come back to you. Just throw out some guesses.

[Seth Meyers]

Leanne Morgan.

[Game Host]

Nope. Okay, I will give you one hint. It is. It is a man.

[Josh]

Oh, okay. I. Deluded. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, I give up.

[Josh]

Yeah. I don't.

[Seth Meyers]

What do you got, Sam?

[Game Host]

Patrick J. Adams.

[Seth Meyers]

Patrick J. Adams.

[Game Host]

Our first guest of 20 20.

[Josh]

Our first guest. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Very unfair for you to start with the farthest away.

[Game Host]

Well, Seth, I thought you would remember it because of. You guys talked about Lobby Baby.

[Seth Meyers]

I know, but I buried those memories. I suppress all memories of Lobby Baby.

[Game Host]

Well, I will remind you right now of your conversation. I'll play a little clip.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, great.

[Patrick J. Adams]

I delivered my second in the front seat of the car while you were in the lobby.

[Seth Meyers]

We were in the lobby, so we hadn't even made it to the Uber. But you're in la, so you're in your car, Correct?

[Patrick J. Adams]

Yes, we were in our car. I had been shooting in Toronto. I Got this job, and it was during COVID and so no one was working. And I got this film in Toronto, and we asked the doctor, can we do it? He said, you could probably get away with it.

[Seth Meyers]

So anyway, I went up.

[Patrick J. Adams]

She was very pregnant the night I got home. I got home at midnight from Toronto, and she went into labor at 4 in the morning.

[Josh]

Wow.

[Patrick J. Adams]

But our first labor was like, 26 hours, so we kind of were very lazy. We were like, we'll take the morning. There's no rush.

[Josh]

Oh.

[Patrick J. Adams]

And, you know, we spent about three or four hours at the house, and then we were like, it's probably time to go. And then we got to the parking lot of Cedars Sinai, and that's how far we got.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Do they still charge you?

[Josh]

Do they still. Is there still a bill?

[Seth Meyers]

I love it. I love that you asked that question.

[Josh]

Delivering in the penny. They did very good.

[Seth Meyers]

I can't believe I didn't remember. I guess I didn't remember. Cause it's just. I mean, not quite as thrilling as the lobby. As a lobby?

[Josh]

Yeah. Cause he was in the parking lot of a hospital. It was like, well, something was wrong. Someone's gonna come out, basically.

[Seth Meyers]

There.

[Josh]

Yeah. That was a fun one.

[Seth Meyers]

All right, Sam, we're 0410 for one.

[Game Host]

All right. Quote number two. And this is challenging because I think we had a few people that like to go water skiing. But the quote is we. We had a ski boat for most of my childhood, and we would go water skiing, rain or shine, every weekend.

[Josh]

I know she lives. She grew up near LA, near, like, Long Beach. Her grandparents were nearby. Wendy McClendon Covey.

[Seth Meyers]

And my guess is Patrick J. Adams.

[Game Host]

Josh, you are correct.

[Josh]

Yes. Really?

[Seth Meyers]

Yes. Oh, my God. Pashi takes a one nothing lead.

[Game Host]

Let's hear from her. Let's remind ourselves of what your conversation was about.

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

We had a ski boat for most of my childhood, and we would go water skiing, rain or shine, every weekend.

[Josh]

Wow.

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

So we were just a couple minutes away. But I hate water skiing.

[Seth Meyers]

Did you always hate it?

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

I've always hated it. I like watching other people. I like pulling in the rope and holding up the flag. But I didn't like to ski because my dad would get so impatient with us.

[Seth Meyers]

Like, come on, Come on.

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

And it was like, well, I don't want to do this to begin with, so you can just take my turn if you're in such a hurry.

[Josh]

Did he want you to reach a certain level, to, like, compete? Was it. Was it something like that?

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

He just wanted me to get up at all.

[Josh]

Okay, I see. Yeah.

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

You know, But I hated it. I absolutely hated it.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't blame people for hating water skiing.

[Josh]

You don't blame people for hating one of the things your wife is best at in this world.

[Seth Meyers]

That's right.

[Josh]

There was some people. Someone wrote in and said, like, real missed opportunity. Because I know she talked about, like, Boz Skags and there was a lot of yacht rock chatter. And I could have done a yacht rock track for that one. It was really served up to me. But I did a parody of Eu's Da Butt, which is one of my favorite.

[Seth Meyers]

One of your favorite songs of all time.

[Josh]

Yeah. Cause she used to Shoot in the Duck was what the song was called. She was a roller skater and she could shoot the duck.

[Seth Meyers]

And that just.

[Josh]

That reminded me of Eu's Da Butt. Sufi.

[Seth Meyers]

Sexy. Sexy. Yeah, that was. If you know Pashi. If you knew Pashi back in the day, you would know Dibut by Edu is one of his favorites.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

They named the European Union after him. Das Butt, of course.

[Josh]

Dust Butt.

[Seth Meyers]

That's my favorite German submarine movie.

[Josh]

Dust Butt.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Josh]

All right. All right. Well, nailed that one. We are batting.500. Toothy, which is pretty good batting average.

[Seth Meyers]

You're batting.500. I'm not doing great, but I feel very good about the next one.

[Josh]

Yeah. All right.

[Seth Meyers]

Okay.

[Game Host]

Our next one says, it turns out that there's a huge market for somebody who trashes their mother in law.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, czarnagarg.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Game Host]

Yes.

[Seth Meyers]

I've seen her doing it.

[Josh]

Yeah. Seen her doing is where she butters her bread and. Yeah, that's right.

[Seth Meyers]

And she ain't wrong. She ain't wrong. She's fun to watch.

[Josh]

Fave. One of the faves of Larry Meyers of the Year. Of Larry and Hilary Myers. One of our faves. Yeah. I was laughing through this whole episod. Um, we had a clip of her, Sam.

[Game Host]

Yep.

[Zarnagarg]

It turns out that there's a huge market for somebody who trashes their mother in law. This is an evergreen topic.

[Seth Meyers]

Evergreen. It crosses all. All ethnic, all. All financial strata. Nobody.

[Zarnagarg]

It actually even crosses generations. Because a lot of times I get teenagers, you know, I'm a tiktoker, right. And teenagers tune in because they know the drama that their grandmother and mom are going through or whatever. So they. You would think, why would the kids care? But they care. They get involved all the time.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I feel like my mother in law, who considers herself more of a mother outlaw is what she prefers to be called. But she's more active on social media than I am. So I feel like if I started trashing her, she would just destroy me.

[Zarnagarg]

The thing is, it never works that way because generally the mother in laws are good to their son in laws. The tension is always the other way. The tension is always between the mother in law and the daughter in law. I do this in my live shows. When we do crowd work, I'll go around and ask about people's mother in laws. Invariably, all the men are like, my mother in law is great, but it's not a coincidence. It's always like that. It's always the women that are getting into little catty situations.

[Seth Meyers]

I also think my mother in law, who I often make jokes about, sees it as an act of love. She's very happy that I'm on stage, choosing to use my time to discuss her. I think that's very true to this day. And I just did stand up in New York City on Sunday and my in laws came. Oh, that's nice. They're very supportive. Although I don't have much in my current act about burning them. Yeah, the closest I have is, and you'll know this to be true about my in laws, which is I think about them every day when I see their profiles on my streaming account. And that they have different tastes.

[Josh]

I thought you were gonna say I think about them every day when they're sitting in your living room.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, but that. The other thing is. Oh, they have different tastes, which is my mother in law likes to watch documentaries and foreign films, and my father in law likes to watch literally anything. He's the only guy who watches YouTube just on a loop, like, whatever YouTube plays next. He's like, oh, hey, do you guys know how they fold milk cartons? They got a machine. Okay.

[Josh]

Zarnagar probably had my favorite response to if you had to be stranded on a desert island, I don't know if you remember, who would you bring?

[Seth Meyers]

Who was it?

[Josh]

Her husband? Because she would cook him and eat him. He would provide her the most sustenance for the longest period of time.

[Seth Meyers]

She immediately thought of, who is the biggest person I'm related to.

[Josh]

Yeah. What a delight. I hope to see her somewhere along the road in 2026 and beyond. All right, we're doing better than I would have expected here.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, two out of three.

[Game Host]

All right, we have one more. And we do have some listener questions that we should get to after this. But the last one is, the last one says, we kind of found out that one of our cousins there was A gangster.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, Hassan Minaj.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, Riz.

[Game Host]

Yes.

[Josh]

Oh, yes.

[Seth Meyers]

Damn it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Game Host]

Yes. It is Riz. It is Riz. But you got it.

[Seth Meyers]

I think getting it wrong. I think getting it wrong immediately means I don't have Riz. It is Riz, but I don't have Riz.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah. Both great guests, I thought.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, fantastic.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Riz.

[Josh]

So cool.

[Seth Meyers]

Riz is so cool. Yeah, cool, too. But they're real cool.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

All right. Well, that was fantastic. Thank you.

[Josh]

Are we gonna hear this clip?

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Game Host]

Let's hear the clip from Riz.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Riz]

We kind of found out that one of our cousins there was a gangster, and he was. We should have kind of worked it out, because when we'd be sitting with him, just hanging out at the local cafe, there'd just always be a steady stream of people pulling up in a car, getting out, respectfully asking him for something, shaking his hand, like kissing his hand and then bouncing. We were like, friendly guy, honestly. This guy's popular. And then I remember we were in Pizza Hut, and him and his friends got a call. He went, be right back. This is actually quite dark. And left, and he came back pretty sure they had blood on their shirts.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Riz]

We were like, yeah, I think he's definitely. I think something's definitely going on.

[Seth Meyers]

I will say, I like to think that he's a gangster, but he was so excited that his whole family was visiting from England. He was like, I don't have time to go change into a new shirt.

[Josh]

These people, they're only.

[Seth Meyers]

They're not here that often.

[Riz]

Guy, this thing about gangsters, he's family guys. They prioritize family, so.

[Seth Meyers]

Great.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I would really like to go. I would like to travel with Riz.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although if you travel the way his moving van traveled, then that. Oh, yeah, would have been no good. His moving van. He lost all his stuff. Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.

[Seth Meyers]

I wanted you beginning first.

[Josh]

You'll be holding your breath from start to finish. Oh my God.

[Narrator]

I'm going to something.

[Josh]

Greenland 2 migration rated PG 13.

[Seth Meyers]

Here we go. I'm very excited to hear questions.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And. And hopefully our our A's will satisfy you.

[Sam (Producer)]

Hi Seth and Josh. This is Lexi from Fresno, California. Since doing the pod, what is a trip or destination you've heard of that you've put on your bucket list since mine is Tig Notaro's hometown. She sold me on that one.

[Seth Meyers]

Love the pod. Thanks. You've mentioned that before that you would love to go to Tig's hometown.

[Josh]

Yeah, Pass Christian.

[Seth Meyers]

Pass Christian?

[Josh]

Yeah, that's the name of that town. Yeah, I would love to go there. I'm trying to think. I feel like. Was it Zarna also was talking about there's some town that I think you've been to as well that has just like amazing museums. It might also be in Arkansas.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that sounds right.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh yeah. Was it Crystal Bridges?

[Josh]

That sounds right.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, I've been there and you should go. It's awesome. That whole little town is great.

[Josh]

Yeah, I like that.

[Seth Meyers]

You know in the Alexander Skarsgrd was talking about just one of those like tiny little Swedish islands. I would like to be on a little. I would like to be on a little island you have to take a boat to and then you're just kind of there and they're so small that your family can't fit on them. Just like I'd like to go to. Just a one person island I think would be really cool.

[Josh]

And Phil Kogan still has me thinking about New Zealand. Despite what Lewis Black might say about the flight.

[Seth Meyers]

I. You know who I. Wait, I think we talked about it right That I met Jacinda Ardern. No, I don't think I met the. The former prime minister in New Zealand. I did the Graham Norton show in London.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And she was. She was one of the other guests.

[Josh]

Oh, that's fabulous.

[Seth Meyers]

Delightful, I bet. Just a delightful human being.

[Josh]

Yeah. So, yeah, yeah, so, yeah, those are on my list. But I feel like I always, you know, anytime, like at the tail end of the Julia Louis Dreyfus episode with her sons Henry and Charlie, they were talking about how they did rafting in the Grand Canyon and that's a trip that they would do again.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, that's that. I mean, I know I have to step out of my heel Persona, but that also does sound pretty good to me.

[Josh]

Yeah. So, yeah, thanks for those. Thanks for that question, Lexi.

[Seth Meyers]

Thank you.

[Sam (Producer)]

Hi, Seth and Josh. My name is Mary and I'm from Prince Edward Island, Canada. My question for you is whether there were any other topics you considered covering for your podcast before you settled on family trips. And if not, what are some other topics that you could imagine covering for a podcast together? I also had a second, more obscure question for Josh. Josh, you mentioned at one point, like a long time ago that you got a lot of cow themed T shirts as a kid, and I was wondering if it's possible that they came from Cow's Ice Cream, which is an east coast chain that originated in my home province. Their T shirt designs are pretty distinctive and feature wonderful, terrible cow puns. So if you go to their website, you'll either recognize the designs right away or not. Prince Edward island is a pretty small place, so it's always kind of thrilling to hear it mentioned in mainstream media. Love the podcast and best to you and yours for the holidays.

[Game Host]

Bye.

[Josh]

All right, I'm looking up Cow's Ice Cream, but to the first question.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it was always family trips. We didn't really have any other ideas. We were trying to find something that nobody else was doing. We wanted to talk about something that was family related due to our relationship. But I think now, having done it for a while, I think a more probably the podcast Josh would rather do is me interviewing people about SNL while he tries to change the subject. It would be called the Not Ready for this Conversation Players.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah. Yo. Yeah. I don't know what else we would do.

[Seth Meyers]

It was gonna be something, I mean, like, you know, it was gonna be.

[Josh]

A family based thing.

[Seth Meyers]

Family based thing. And we also wanted to make sure it was, you know, you know, Kate and Ollie Hudson have one where they interview other Siblings. And it's great. But we even. They have admitted, like, you run out of siblings pretty fast. And scheduling becomes harder when, you know, it's bad enough that we've got to figure out our schedule. So it's nice to have one guest as opposed to always looking for a pair. Yeah, yeah. But it's been fun. And it also.

[Josh]

I'd still. I mean, I know we've said it before, but I just feel like it is a subject that our guests aren't often or ever asked about. So it is a new trove of information and stories and. Yeah. That they can tap into and get. It's that little nostalgia nugget.

[Seth Meyers]

It's nice. And it's a good way to find out about people's families and. Yeah, it's worked out really nicely.

[Josh]

I don't think my cow stuff was from cow's ice cream. Yeah. So. But I don't know. But nonetheless, if you are in Sedward Island.

[Seth Meyers]

Fuck. Fuck again.

[Josh]

Once again, I was gonna say you should go. You see, if you're up there, you should go to cow's ice cream.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, so you weren't gonna say fucked again? I thought we were saying it at the same time. Once again, a misread old poshy.

[Josh]

All right, well, thanks for the question, Mary.

[Seth Meyers]

Thank you, Mary.

[Josh]

Also, Prince Edward island is a place I would like to go.

[Seth Meyers]

For the record, you know what they do. You don't like oysters, though?

[Josh]

No.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I remember the morning I think I first saw a long time. I didn't realize, like Pei on an oyster menu meant that that's what they were from Prince Edward Island. But they is.

[Josh]

They is also.

[Seth Meyers]

Oysters are good.

[Josh]

Well, to each his own. Actually, I didn't mind oysters back in my oyster eating days.

[Seth Meyers]

Oh, you won't eat oysters anymore. Right, Right.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Because they're, as you always say, are people too.

[Josh]

Although there is. There's a subset of vegans that will eat oysters because they don't have a central nervous system. And oysters don't. No, the oysters. And they are oyster farms that really help to clean up the ocean. They're very beneficial.

[Seth Meyers]

But not you.

[Josh]

Not me.

[Seth Meyers]

You're like, fuck that.

[Josh]

You're in charge of cleaning up the oceans now. All right, do we have any more questions, Sam?

[Game Host]

Yeah, here's our next one.

[Seth Meyers]

Hi there.

[Sam (Producer)]

I'm Paul. I'm originally from Maryland.

[Seth Meyers]

And I want to ask Seth and Josh, what is your favorite national park?

[Josh]

I mean, right now, I think it's probably Yosemite for me. But I've done. I did a couple great hikes in Rocky Mountain national park. And then another, like, just sort of epic hike in Glacier. But I feel like Yosemite is the one that keeps calling to me to get up there. But I kind of love all of them. I feel like if you have a.

[Seth Meyers]

Number two, you could just say, that's mine.

[Josh]

Well, we went to Acadia national park.

[Seth Meyers]

When we were kids. Loved Acadia.

[Josh]

Yeah. And then that's the last one you've been to.

[Seth Meyers]

I don't know. I mean, I guess. Well, Grand Canyon. Right. That's a national park, isn't it?

[Josh]

Oh, yeah, sure is.

[Seth Meyers]

Count that.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

In general, I do think they should just be opened up for drilling. I'm not. I'm not going to apologize for that. Whether there's oil there or not, there's something under there.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I was just under the ground, and we could only find it from drilling.

[Josh]

I was just talking to a gentleman who works on a board that sort of is. Works on preservation in the Everglades National Park.

[Seth Meyers]

Nice.

[Josh]

And I've never been on one of those airboats.

[Seth Meyers]

No, thank you.

[Josh]

No, thank you. For you.

[Seth Meyers]

Those fan boats. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, they seem so loud.

[Josh]

They're deaf loud. But I would love to do it. There's hardly a national park that I wouldn't be interested in doing a little time.

[Seth Meyers]

I also feel like I'm just always worried somebody's gonna put their hand in the fanboat.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

But it doesn't seem like anybody gets up to any good in a fanboat.

[Josh]

I think they get up to lots of good. They get up to head times. Making memories.

[Seth Meyers]

I think they're smuggling or on the lamb.

[Josh]

No, you've just. Historically, you watch that bloodline show and that's what you're thinking.

[Seth Meyers]

Bloodlines. I feel like I. I'm not sure, but it feels like Ozark had probably a fanboat at some point.

[Josh]

I might have. I don't recall. Yeah. So, yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

You know what? Speaking of Ozark and Jason Bateman saw Zootopia 2 in theaters with the kids. Delightful. And it was Ash, Axel, Addie, me. Half hour into the movie, Addie goes, daddy. And I lean over, I go, what? She goes, I don't want to sit next to you. I was like, who do you want to sit next to? She's like, I want to sit between the boys. And I was like, all right. And I made Axel switch with her so she could sit between her brothers. That's Great. Very hurtful. Pretty much everything she says to me is hurtful these days.

[Josh]

Do you remember what kind of animal Ki Hui Quan was?

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, he was a snake.

[Josh]

Oh, nice.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, he's. By the way, he's fantastic in it.

[Josh]

I can't imagine anything less.

[Seth Meyers]

And Sandberg's in it, too.

[Josh]

Oh, nice.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah, it's great.

[Josh]

Nice one. All right, we got one more question, I think.

[Seth Meyers]

Let's hear it.

[Wendy McClendon-Covey]

Hi, my name is Whitney, and I have a question for Larry. If Lin Manuel Miranda is a friend of Andy and Seth's, does that mean Lynn's dad knows Seth's dad? Does Larry know Luis? I think they would get into absolutely positive havoc. They would have great conversations, and I think they would have a lot of fun together. So it was just a thought. And I just. I adore friends, so thank you for every wonderful conversation we've had. Thank you for every smile, giggle, and laugh out loud moment. You guys are awesome.

[Seth Meyers]

Larry has not met Lynn's dad, but they. I could tell you from having met Lynn's dad, they would absolutely hit it off.

[Josh]

Yeah. But also, I feel like dad might be living that no new friends policy.

[Seth Meyers]

I think dad would make a new friend.

[Josh]

You think dad wants new friends?

[Seth Meyers]

I think he wants to talk to people like they're his friend. I don't know if he wants to put the work in to be a friend.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

Can I say something about Lin Manuel Miranda, who is one of the nicest people in the world? On Thanksgiving, that guy texted me, hey, I know how hard the holidays can be right after you lost a pet. So sweet. Yeah.

[Josh]

And did Sandberg send you a similar message?

[Seth Meyers]

He said, I'm so thankful this year.

[Josh]

That your dog is in hell.

[Seth Meyers]

Where she belongs.

[Josh]

Rip frizz.

[Seth Meyers]

Rip frizz. Happy holidays, everybody.

[Josh]

Happy holidays.

[Seth Meyers]

Maybe you're listening to this while you're on a trip with your family or by yourself to go see your family. And wherever you're listening, we just want to say how happy we are to have done a whole nother year of this show and how excited we are to get started in 2026.

[Josh]

And I resolve to have Seth not wear such tawdry sweatshirts.

[Seth Meyers]

That's such a bummer. And I was. Today was like, oh, yeah, go change. But you know what? I'm gonna change for the next one. We have a guest, but this is a bad. Yeah, this is from.

[Narrator]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

I mean, that's.

[Seth Meyers]

That's a good sweatshirt.

[Josh]

It's a fantasy football sort of.

[Seth Meyers]

It's a fantasy football sweatshirt. We got one year at the draft from our buddy Stradley. And in Latin, do you remember what it says in Latin?

[Josh]

Yes, I know what it means, but.

[Seth Meyers]

It'S non poopy bracas. The one rule of our fantasy football league is no poopy pants.

[Josh]

No poopy pants.

[Seth Meyers]

No one's allowed to complain.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

And so he made a seal of the fantasy football league. And in Latin, it says non poopy bracas.

[Josh]

It says non poopy bracas, which. My difficulty with the sweatshirt is I have a hard time wearing a piece of clothing that says poopy on it.

[Seth Meyers]

I think it's written subtly enough that it's not the headline. Yeah, but if someone's. I've worn it a lot around. For example, Alexi, who is incredibly tuned into small details and she's never noticed.

[Josh]

Yeah. Okay.

[Seth Meyers]

Well, yeah, she hates it for other reasons.

[Josh]

The sort of the loose, rolling neck.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah. The fraying fabric.

[Josh]

But that just speaks to a well loved garment.

[Seth Meyers]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I love it. Yeah.

[Seth Meyers]

I love you.

[Josh]

I love you too.

[Seth Meyers]

Happy New Year and we love our listeners. Happy New Year, everybody.

[Josh]

Thank you.
