This episode of Family Trips is brought to you by Nissan Adventure calls in the first ever Nissan Rogue Rock Creek. Learn more@nissanusa.com Here we go. Hey, Bashi.
Josh Meyers
Jiffy.
Seth Meyers
How are you?
Josh Meyers
I'm good. How are you?
Seth Meyers
Good. I feel like I might start this podcast off with a sneeze, but I think I may be starting it off.
Josh Meyers
You got a good stop technique for a sneeze? Just grab your nose as hard as you can and twist it to the side.
Seth Meyers
It's tough because it is a good stop technique, but I can't use it on the show, you know? Right.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Do you know how many times I've sneezed mid interview on my show?
Josh Meyers
Well, I know of one in particular.
Seth Meyers
Which one?
Josh Meyers
David Ortiz.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Big Poppy was the first time.
Josh Meyers
Oh, so good. He laughed so hard.
Seth Meyers
He laughed so hard. Because I fought it basically for the entirety of that interview. Thought I had made it past. And then it was a real loud bone shaking sneeze. Yeah, he laughed really hard.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, we. Yeah, we. We're big sneezers. Like, no one sneeze. No one sneezes like dad.
Seth Meyers
No one sneezes like dad. But we did, you know, inherit it. We've got that DNA.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. And then Mackenzie always kind of gets on me about my sneezes, but she also has, like, a scream sneeze. Yeah, she's. It's not like she's shrinking.
Seth Meyers
Violence, I will admit. Sometimes Alexi will say, can't you do that quieter? And I'm gonna tell you something. I think I can.
Josh Meyers
I googled it. How do I sneeze quieter? And it said, try to cough while you sneeze at the same time. And that will minimize it. So sometimes I'll be on a good run of real, like, blasters, and I remind myself to try and cough, and I don't know if it works, but worth a try.
Seth Meyers
I think the reason I'm trying to sneeze at the current level I'm sneezing at is I love it. I genuinely love a loud sneeze. I. It makes me feel good. And I appreciate that the people around me are not a fan, but, you know, I don't want to give it up.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. Well, then don't.
Seth Meyers
I also think when you're a loud sneezer, people think your cold is worse and you get more sympathy.
Josh Meyers
Oh, okay.
Seth Meyers
You know, when I sneeze at work, people are like, whoa. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh.
Josh Meyers
I sneeze all the time, though. But I don't have a cold. I rarely have A cold, but I just sneeze. And I don't have allergies.
Seth Meyers
Second time I sneezed was with Amy Poehler, which is funny because we. I feel as though at different times in my life, I've referred to both David Ortiz and Amy Poehler as America's sweetheart. But I sneezed mid Amy Poehler interview. And this speaks to what delightful improviser she is. She screamed a sneeze. Everybody stand up. And she stood up and she made the whole audience stand up. And she said, that's the rule. When the host sneezes, everybody stands up. And it made me laugh really hard.
Josh Meyers
That had to be really fun for the audience.
Seth Meyers
It was great. They loved it. That's the new rule. She made it very clear that's the rule when host sneezes, everybody stands.
Josh Meyers
Have you sneezed since then and then told the audience to stand up?
Seth Meyers
No, I don't think you would.
Josh Meyers
Do you think?
Seth Meyers
I don't think I would. I don't think I. I will remember it, but I just don't think. I don't want to have to explain it to the. It would be so funny if I was having a conversation with, say, Morgan Freeman and I said, I'm sorry I sneezed and Brace got stood. You too. You too. Sorry. You. You're everybody. Yeah. I am not currently sick, but last night Axel was sick. I was downstairs recording a Lonely island podcast, which I rarely do at home. But by the time it was over, I had a bunch of texts with the news. And the news was this. Axel's sick. He's in our bed. You have to go sleep in his bed. Or you can crawl into bed with us. But he's sort of a whimpering flu y. Not the best. Not the best bed companion. So I slept on the bunk bed, the lower bunk in the boys room. And I came in around like 9:45, crept in real quiet. But then Ash popped up and said, who's there? And I said, it's me, Axel asleep. Axel's sick. Excuse me, I'm gonna sleep in the lower bunk. And he was so. Cause Axel falls asleep so early. Ash was so excited to chit chat. Oh, I bet. I feel like he's never had somebody who. And he was like, oh, I'm so happy you're here. So the funniest thing just happened in my book. And I was like, buddy, it's bedtime. It's super late. And he said, yeah, but I never get to talk to Axel. Cause he's asleep. So the Funniest thing. And I just had to like sit there and it was great. But we did about 15 minutes of chit chat.
Josh Meyers
Did he hang his head over the side to look at you or was he sort of looking at the ceiling and just.
Seth Meyers
He was sort of looking at the ceiling and he busted me super hard. Cause he was telling a real snore of a story and all of a sudden he said, did you just turn your phone on? I will admit that I thought, you know what, I could, I could do the crossword and listen to this at the same time.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
And he said, and it was really sweet. He said, don't turn your phone on. And I said, oh, yeah, you're right. Sorry. I just wanted to, you know, made up some lie. I wanted to check what the temperature was tomorrow, which is a big thing right now because I have decided. Tell me what you think.
Brooklyn Beckham
Mm.
Seth Meyers
It's about a 20 minute walk to school with the boys. My preference obviously is to walk them to school as opposed to take a car to school. Right.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
I've decided with them we need to pick a number, a temperature number where we will take a car versus walk. What do you think? What do you think a fair temp.
Josh Meyers
Is that they picked or that you picked?
Seth Meyers
No, we kind of came to a consensus. But like if you were a dad, what would you pick?
Josh Meyers
20.
Seth Meyers
We. 28. Okay, done, 28. And I will. If it's windy. 32. You know what I mean?
Brooklyn Beckham
Okay.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. Wind chill.
Seth Meyers
I think, by the way, 20 is probably okay, but we settled on 28. They're of the age where they know 32 is freezing. So you can't go too far below freezing before they start, you know, making a real ruckus.
Josh Meyers
But then, I mean, is there concept of freezing that at 31 degrees you freeze like an ice cube?
Seth Meyers
That's my concept of it. So they have, they have inherited that from me. They have inherited that for me. And you know, Friday I take the train with the boys and sometimes my niece joins my niece. Agnes.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
This is my wife's sister's daughter. Yeah. Obviously people know it's not yours. I guess anybody listening now knows you're my only son.
Josh Meyers
Also, if they get your Christmas card, they gotta. They got some questions.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. So. Hey, everybody. I don't know when it started. My wife insists that we've had this conversation. Our Christmas card, the last every year is four children. My three. And then Agnes and I thought in my head it said, you know, happy holidays from Ash, Axel, Addie and cousin Agnes. But there's no even cousin.
Josh Meyers
No. Yeah, that's gone.
Seth Meyers
So a lot of, I would say I get six texts a year of people asking when we had a fourth.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It also, it seems to me like my read on it. And I know you, I know Agnes, so I know what, what the situation is, but I feel like. And you know, knock on wood, I never want this to happen, but it seems like Agnes's parents have perished.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes.
Josh Meyers
And you have folded her into your family.
Seth Meyers
Yes. It's very much serious. Which would be the right move, 100%.
Josh Meyers
In that horrible, horrible eventuality that no one's rooting for.
Seth Meyers
Yes.
Josh Meyers
But in lieu of that, there's a lot of people like, did I miss one?
Seth Meyers
Yeah. So basically it's a two part thing. They're like, did you have a fourth? And I say, no, it's our niece. And they said, oh my God, our condolences on her parents. D. And then I say, no, they're alive. They just don't want to do a card.
Josh Meyers
So they don't do a card. This is their way of. Okay, yeah.
Seth Meyers
They want their daughter to be on a card, but they don't want to do a card. The other very unfair thing this year, the card, the Myers family card was. Cuz I will not use their last name on my card. It is a Myers family card and it was nutcracker themed. So the boys are in their little toy soldiers and then the two girls are ballerinas. And where I think one day Addie is gonna take some issues with. And by the way, Addie loves Agnes, looks up to her, but Agnes is sort of this long, lean, you know, prima baller. Ballerina. Yeah, prima ballerina. And Addie looks like a tumbleweed in a tutu. It's a very unfair side by side comparison.
Josh Meyers
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But cute kids.
Seth Meyers
Cute kids. And where I was going, taking the train, Ash this weekend, going to a buddy's house to go skiing. Axel sick this morning. So Axel did not go to school. He. He left with Alexi this morning. Get out of the city. So I am going on the train just with Agnes.
Josh Meyers
Oh, wow.
Seth Meyers
Now, originally, when I woke up this morning, I said to Alexi, I don't want to go with just Agnes. I could say that because she doesn't listen to the pod. I won't go with you, Agnes. And Agnes walks like a marionette where you can't see the strings.
Josh Meyers
Uh huh.
Seth Meyers
So just like a Muppet. Yeah. And very slow. But I also walk Agnes to school. I'm doing a lot of parenting for this child that is not mine. But I'm walking Agnes to school, and she won me over. She charmed me. I was taking the train anyway, and so it was very hard to be like, ah, nah, man. I roll alone. Cause Agnes. This is the way Agnes says my name, sis. So we're walking. She goes, seis, can I come on the train with you, sis? And then I'm like, yeah, fine. And I gotta get dinner on the train. So I said, what do you want for dinner? She goes, pizza. And I said, what kind of pizza? She goes, I want a cheese pizza with no cheese. And. And so then I text Arielle. I'm like, I'm not doing this fucking bullshit. And she. And she said, just tell her that doesn't exist and she has to eat it. So I'm excited to report back how upset Agnes will be when she sees there's actual cheese on her cheese pizza. But, you know, train. I do. It's not a very nice train, but.
Josh Meyers
It'S a nice train. I think it's.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. I wish there was, like a. You know, it's not a seller. Right. It's not like a table. Sure, sure. Yeah. But it's nice enough. And, you know, echoing the fact that it is the most popular answer for our listeners, I do love that, you know, once a week, I get on a train.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
And I love Grand Central. I love Grand Central.
Josh Meyers
Also, if she sort of busts you like Ash does and is like, hey, don't turn on your phone. You tell her to just button that right up.
Seth Meyers
Well, here's the thing. She won't. I mean, we will not. Once we get on the train, we will not say another word to each other. Because it's true for my kids as well. It is their one sort of screen time, uninterrupted screen time of the week.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
So everybody gets on that train. And I would say the worst part of it is how I think it's my time to chill. And instead I'm just hovering over. It's like being a bird feeding your hatchlings. I'm just holding, like, hovering over them with pizza, trying to get them to eat it. Cheese pizza with no cheese. Yeah.
Josh Meyers
Meanwhile, they're just trying to watch Deer Hunter.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. They do watch some dark stuff. I. We did a podcast, the Lonely Island. We did an episode with Mike O'Brien.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
And I was. Because he did a bunch of short films on snl, and so I was watching some of his short films. Just get ready for the podcast, and Ash came in and it was really fun because he didn't fully get him, but I was letting him watch SNL comedy with me, and he would. The stuff that was making him laugh was really making him laugh, and it's just delightful to know that that's around the corner. Who we got today, bud?
Josh Meyers
Brooklyn, Peltz Beckham.
Seth Meyers
Very exciting, lovely guy.
Josh Meyers
Oh, my gosh, what a dollar. I mean, I don't know if he's gonna appreciate being called a doll, but this guy is a doll.
Seth Meyers
You know what? I think he'll appreciate that. It was clearly how you thought of him.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. No, no, no. He's so charming, so sweet, so nice. And, yeah, I really enjoyed this.
Seth Meyers
I apologize. Here I am ranting and raving about having to bring my niece on a train. I think our listeners would be very upset if I didn't check in on how things are going in Los Angeles.
Josh Meyers
Oh, yeah. I mean, look, if your house has gone. I don't even. I can't even begin to imagine people are still putting their lives back together. But I'm in Hollywood, and I will say, you don't notice it unless you're turning on the news or unless you're sort of driving out towards the Palisades or the Eaton Fire. You don't smell it in the air anymore. People are all checking in with each other. Like, if you go into a shop, if you see someone checking you out at the grocery store, that, you know everyone's checking in, making sure you're okay. But, yeah, I'm fine. It feels like life is normal. It definitely is not. Life is normal for so many people. But, yeah, I mean, it's a city that's gonna keep on keeping on. There's so many places that are doing benefits. So many. Like, so many stores and charities and theaters and, yeah, it's going to be a long, long road to recovery. But I truly believe that we're going to be. We're going to be back, but it's going to take a while.
Seth Meyers
Well, thank you for the update. I certainly continue to send our love to everybody out there and hoping people stay safe. And we do hope as well that you enjoy this conversation, maybe take your mind off things. Brooklyn. Pels Beckham with an assist from Jeff Tweedy.
Josh Meyers
Family chips with the Miles Brothers. Family chips with the Mathers.
Brooklyn Beckham
Go.
Seth Meyers
Hey, what's up, guys?
Josh Meyers
How are you?
Brooklyn Beckham
How are you guys?
Seth Meyers
We're wonderful. I'm so happy to talk to you. I'm just going to open right up by leaning into a stereotype and just saying. I'm so surprised that a British person has their own line of hot sauce. Am I wrong to think that I just don't think about like. Yeah, okay, good.
Brooklyn Beckham
No, not at all.
Josh Meyers
Are you the first? Are you one of one in that, in that category?
Brooklyn Beckham
I think so. I think I am.
Seth Meyers
It is very. So Cloud 23 is your new hot sauce. And when did. I mean, obviously at some point you decided I should know. My entire life I did not like spicy foods. And then my wife is from New Mexico and she introduced me to it and now I maybe overdo it. So I'm very excited to try your hot sauce. But when did you become somebody who liked it?
Brooklyn Beckham
So I've always been a fan of hot sauce. That's kind of why I got into it. My love for food has been since I was a baby. I was lucky enough to travel into in some pretty cool places and live in in some pretty cool places. And I don't know, I think through Covid, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do and I just kind of wanted to just experience like what I could do with my love for food. I didn't really want to be in a kitchen. I wanted to be in like the business aspect of cooking. So then one night at like 2am, me and my wife in our, in our place, just started cooking up some hot sauce and create the first sweet jalapeno recipe. And yeah, that's kind of how it started.
Josh Meyers
Do you find, I mean, in your, in your travels, like with. I would imagine that some chefs wouldn't want you to sort of COVID their hard, hard cooked food with a hot sauce. Do you, have you offended anyone in your days?
Brooklyn Beckham
I don't think I've offended. I hope I offended anyone. I think like on my website I, I collabed with like 10 of my favorite chefs to create a recipe with my hot sauce. So like Nobu is one of them. Chef Ludo Evan Funke. So just a few to name. So again, I don't think I've offended anyone. I hope I haven't. I just wanted to create a pretty good hot sauce.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, you also. We talk a lot about what is at the end. Spoiler alert. We're going to ask you your favorite mode of transportation. I feel like a lot of people say train who actually don't ride trains that much, but Europeans, I feel like do ride trains. You just did your favorite train snacks with recipes though. And I will say Brooklyn, this is the problem for me. I thought you were going to say, these are the best trains, and these are the snacks you can buy on the train. I don't want to make my own train snacks now. They look delicious. They really look delicious. Are you actually making. Are you actually making your own sausage roll?
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, my God. Of course. Me being English, you have to make your own sausage roll.
Seth Meyers
Really? I've seen a lot of. I've seen a lot of British people eating sausage rolls that they bought, and I don't know if they've ever made their own.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, my. Well, have you? There's a place called Gregg's in London that makes the best sausage rolls in the world. That kind of. When I first had it, when I was really young, I was, like, obsessed with them. I think every English person's obsessed with. With Greg's. And then, you know, every time I go on the train, every time I, you know, travel anywhere, I love making my own sausage rolls now. So it's like, just become like a thing now.
Seth Meyers
That's wonderful.
Josh Meyers
Do you ever. Do you ever, like, the guy pushing the cart? Is he ever like, hey, you got to pay for that? He's always, no, no, this was in my bag. I made this.
Brooklyn Beckham
He's always just like, what is that? That looks so good. And then, you know, I ask if he wants a piece, and he's like, no.
Seth Meyers
But, you know, so obviously due to your parents, very cosmopolitan life, I would imagine you lived a lot of places. Where was the bulk of your childhood spent?
Brooklyn Beckham
So I was born in London, raised in Manchester. I lived quite a long time in Madrid, and then I moved out to LA for six years. But I think now, I think probably London. Probably London. But I did spend a lot of time in the US and obviously now I live here now with my wife, which is nice because I, you know, I know my way around because I used to live here. So.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, yeah, I like it out here. And when you were young, you know, because, again, you were traveling the world just because of, like, what your parents did, but did you. I mean, I would imagine you also took massive trips. You're the oldest of four.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oldest of four.
Seth Meyers
Okay. And what's the gap between. What's the gap between you and your other siblings?
Brooklyn Beckham
We're all pretty close. My sister's 13. My brother Cruz is 19, and my brother Romeo is 22.
Seth Meyers
Okay, gotcha. So you're 25.
Brooklyn Beckham
I'm 25, yes.
Josh Meyers
And then, so where. What would a. What would a trip be if you. If, you know, if your parents wanted to just take the Kids and get away for a while and tap out of that busy lifestyle. I imagine they would probably just want to kick back somewhere.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah. So it's become like a tradition. Ever since I was a baby. We used to, we usually always go to Napa Valley, which is now one of my favorite places. And I love that. I used to go there with my mum and dad and my family because now I get to take my wife there and I know my way around and it's so lovely. And you know, I'm a big wine drink. I love wine. I love the whole culture of wine. And just to kind of learn that growing up with my dad has been amazing. So I would say Napa Valley because also it's like a six hour drive for me now. And obviously when we used to live here, my mum and dad used to always come here for holidays. Now they go to Miami obviously because of the team. But you know, I would definitely say Napa Valley.
Seth Meyers
We are obviously this is going to air later, but we're talking to you pretty close to Thanksgiving. Do you all get together or are you too spread out now or do.
Josh Meyers
You not celebrate Thanksgiving?
Seth Meyers
Yeah, maybe that's possible. I bet you do. I'm going to jump in and say. Before you answer, I think you do.
Brooklyn Beckham
So I have the last four years since because my wife is from New York so her and her family do Thanksgiving. So we're going to Miami for Thanksgiving with her family. In England, you don't really have Thanksgiving. I, I like all my American friends are like, I can't believe you don't have Thanksgiving like in England. I'm like, well, we basically do every Sunday. It's called a Sunday roast.
Seth Meyers
Right.
Brooklyn Beckham
So I kind of tell them we have it every Sunday. But yeah, so this year, the last four years have been doing it with my, my Mrs. Family.
Seth Meyers
So where in New York is, is your wife from?
Brooklyn Beckham
She's from Bedford, my upstate.
Josh Meyers
Oh yeah, yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
So we go there.
Josh Meyers
We're from Bedford, New Hampshire. Different.
Seth Meyers
Oh really different.
Josh Meyers
Different vibe. But yeah.
Seth Meyers
No. Yeah. No one. I love it.
Brooklyn Beckham
I love it up there. It's so nice.
Seth Meyers
It's gorgeous.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, so nice.
Seth Meyers
So what about. I would imagine another thing that was tricky for you growing up, you must have been aware there was no place you could go where people wouldn't recognize.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Like they're sort of famous in that global sense that very few people are. As a young person, were you aware of like, oh, there's nowhere to go where we can just be like left alone.
Brooklyn Beckham
I think, you know, obviously Growing up, you know, going to the football games, going to the Spiceware concerts, there was. It was always, like, very hectic. Do you know what I mean? And, like, obviously, when we used to go for dinners, you know, obviously people came up to my mum and dad and it didn't really. I didn't really understand it. From a really young age, I kind of. When I was a little bit old, I started to understand. I was like, oh, like, you know, my parents are pretty well known, but, you know, my mom and dad did a great, great thing raising me. And, you know, they. They were just like, you know, we. They tried to keep it as, like, private as possible and, you know, they. They did an amazing job. And, yeah, it was just. It was very hectic. I don't know if you've seen the documentary. So. Yeah, I mean, like, even, like, me watching that, like a year ago, I was like. It just brought back so many memories. I was like, oh, my God. Like, that was crazy because, like, I mean, I was the one who, like, went through it all with my mum and dad.
Seth Meyers
So, yeah, it both seemed incredibly crazy. And then, of course, the nice thing about the documentary is it does seem like they also appreciate the quiet of being at home. And I would imagine, you know, when you were at home, it probably felt like a more conventional family, albeit one with the biggest kitchen I've ever seen.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes, yes, It's.
Seth Meyers
It's.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, it's so nice. Like, when we have dinner at my mom and dad's house, you know, they don't have a TV in the dining room. We just, you know, we put our phones down and we enjoy each other's company and it's, It's. It's the best.
Josh Meyers
Is that a hard and fast rule? If someone were to try to take a call or respond to a text, do you get called out for that?
Brooklyn Beckham
When we were younger, yeah, like, if. If my phone rang, it was one of my mates. My dad was like, oh, like, do it after dinner, which I. Which I like. And obviously, when I have kids, I'm definitely going to do that as well. I think it's really important to, you know, have, you know, proper time with your family and whoever you have in dinner with. Which I really like.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, yeah. I gave Seth's wife's family a box that you can put your phones in. It can hold five phones.
Brooklyn Beckham
I think I've seen this.
Josh Meyers
And then you set a timer.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, yeah, they just.
Josh Meyers
They just took it as a joke gift. I don't think it's ever been Used.
Seth Meyers
Josh was not joking. Josh was not joking. Yeah, it was a, it was a very Fairburn on my wife's family. I should know.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Who I love very much. Who I love very much. Did you ever travel, like, I, you know, because I know again, back to like, just like, you know, seeing old documentaries of Man United, tours to, you know, Asia. Did you ever go on big trips like that?
Brooklyn Beckham
I didn't go on the big trips, no. I just went to obviously the ones at home in Manchester. Yeah, you know, it's like, it's so cool. Cause like, obviously after seeing that documentary I see, I like, just remember like there was these rear, like at Old Trafford, there's these really skinny red doors where the players go through or not where the players go through, but like where all the, all the stands go for all the people watching the football game. So just like seeing those little details as well. When I was really young, I was just like, brought back amazing memories. But no, I, I didn't go to Asia, unfortunately. I was probably too young.
Seth Meyers
How young were you the first time you went to a match?
Brooklyn Beckham
Wow. Well, there's pictures of me. I don't know if you've seen him on the football pitch when I was maybe about one and I was kicking the football. One or two, something like that.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. That's definitely how I know you had a different dad than my kids have. Cause they're like 6 and 8 and I still don't think they could kick a ball that good. Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. This episode of Family Trips is brought to you by Nissan.

And we'll start on a trail on sort of a big fire road trail, but then we find those smaller trails where you need to crawl and get your hands dirty and the wetter you get, the better you get. And yeah, that's what we like.
Seth Meyers
I love it.
Josh Meyers
What about you? Have you connected with your inner adventurer recently?
Seth Meyers
You know those squirrel suits where people jump off the sides of cliffs?

Yeah.
Seth Meyers
We went on a vacation and we got ourselves an Airbnb with a pool. And what I loved about it was not just that my kids had a pool to themselves, but more importantly, people who are trying to enjoy their vacation didn't have it ruined by being in a pool with my children. I was like, just go do your thing. Go do your thing. We're not impeding on anybody else's good time. And that's one of the nice things about when you get your own place. Yeah.
Josh Meyers
I'm sure other people appreciate that you're not by a pool very much.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. I remember we went on vacation once and you couldn't go to the pool because you got so sunburned.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
That happened to you a lot.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, I got fair skin.
Seth Meyers
And you know what? I'll be honest. You know, I know they're a sponsor. That would also happen to you at an Airbnb. It's not like they're going to stop you from getting sunburned. You're a fair skin, right?
Josh Meyers
Yeah, that's true.
Seth Meyers
Anyway, make it better for yourself. Also, you're making it better for other people if your kids are irritating.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, yeah. So book your next awesome trip. Today@airbnb.com.

Support comes from Talkspace. Hey, Bashi.
Josh Meyers
Hey, Sufi.
Seth Meyers
We've both been lucky enough over the years to find time to talk to therapists. And I will say, the thing I noticed when I went through that process was just how much better I slept. I was spending so much time at night thinking through things that once I actually had a chance to talk to him with therapists, I was at peace when I needed to be at peace.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, I mean, that's important, too. It's hard to be in a good mental space when you're not sleeping well.
Seth Meyers

When you went somewhere, like to Napa, I imagine as a young kid, you know, you don't have a hyper developed palate, so it's not going to be all fancy dinners and things like, what do you guys do for fun to. To get out? Like, we went there years ago and like went on like a canoe trip down the Russian River. But were there sort of nature Y. Did you do naturey adventure kind of things in Napa or otherwise?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, yeah. So when I went there when I was really young, we stayed at this place called Meadow Wood, which is so gorgeous. There was like a. I used to skateboard. So there was a skate park like 20 minutes from there. Why? My mum and D while my dad went to his favorite wineries. So me and my brothers and my sister went to skate park. And then we used to, we used to have these vines at Meadow woods and we used to, you know, when it was obviously picking season, me and my brothers and my sister used to go down our vines and pick them and then squash the grapes and pizza nights and. Yeah, it was really fun.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Josh Meyers
The first time I ever saw like an actual skate park, I was like, oh, well, this is how you would get good at skateboarding. We lived on top of a hill with a cul de sac and I never got to a point where I could ride the skateboard down the hill. And I just feel like I was sort of trapped like Rapunzel up there. And it Was like all my abilities were just. Were left at the bottom of the hill or on an actual skate park.
Brooklyn Beckham
It's really fun.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, it looks so fun. And I'm so angry that I never learned, and I feel like it's a bad idea to pick it up now.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, I've definitely hurt some bones on skateboarding.
Josh Meyers
Nobody gets hurt like me.
Seth Meyers
Were you there when Ash got hurt at the skate park? Were you there, Josh?
Josh Meyers
I don't know, but I had a picture sent to me.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, it was bad. My. I brought my son to a skate park when he was literally at a scooter, not a skateboard. And my parents were with me, and he'd done it before, and I'm like, oh, my God, you gotta go. Ash has so much fun. And then, of course, when my parents are there, he, like, lost his confidence, rattled, like, fell down, and I'm like, well, he probably will never get on a scooter or skateboard again.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, that's the worst.
Seth Meyers
When you fall too young to take a header. Yeah. And it was just. Yeah, it was. Fortunately, nothing broken, but way too much blood.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. For. For. I felt terrible because I said to his teacher, I dropped him off and he had scrapes all over his face. And I said, just FYI, he's being a lot of dramatic. He's being really dramatic about this. And the teacher was like, I would be too. And I was like, I don't know why I don't want to be. It's so hard on my own kid. Did. Did you. Were you somebody when you. We literally. Our dad is only a fan of sports, but we went to a Pittsburgh Steeler game with him and it's so life and death for us, watching a game when you're. It's your actual dad, did you, like, ever feel, like, as passionate as the people around, or did it matter less to you?
Brooklyn Beckham
I was definitely more passionate, especially as I was getting older. You know, when he played for LA Galaxy, when he played for psg, obviously, yeah, I was definitely more passionate. I was. You know, obviously, me and my brothers also, like, we're really worried as well, because I've seen so many football injuries over the years, and I was. And that's like. All me and my brothers were worried about my mum and obviously because my dad did his Achilles, which is. Yeah, he said the most painful thing, which I could imagine. But, yeah, I've. I've always been super passionate about football, even now that he has the team. And I watch every Inter Miami game and I'm you know, as passionate now as.
Seth Meyers
As I was.
Brooklyn Beckham
Good.
Seth Meyers
I'm glad. I was worried that if you get too close to it, you lose that piece, but I'm glad.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, no, I love it. I love it. And it's weird because, like, my wife's family is a big ice hockey family, and so whenever we're at her house, they're always watching ice hockey. And, like, I just don't understand it at all. I just really don't. And I'm like, can we please put on the football? And my wife's dad's like, no, no, no, no, no. So trying to get.
Josh Meyers
I love that those are essentially the same games. They're just massively different surfaces.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, I know, but.
Brooklyn Beckham
And it's weird.
Seth Meyers
No, but I was saying, Josh, like, you're right. They're the same, except I feel like there's almost. There's the. Maybe the least amount of overlap in who likes both.
Josh Meyers
Right.
Seth Meyers
You never hear somebody be like, I love football. I'm saying football for you. I would say soccer if you weren't here. Brooklyn, I have a quick story about. I met your parents one time early 2000s, and I was on SNL and there was a party at my CAA, my agency, and they said. And they knew I loved soccer. So they're like, oh, my gosh, you come. David Beckham's going to be there. And I came. My agent introduced me to your parents, and they were. They were so sweet because they were like. They were like, this is Seth Meyers. He's on snl. And they're both like, oh, of course. We're big fans. And they did not know who I was, but they were being very polite. And the reason I did. No, no, no. I'm telling you, because the best thing that happened was then Chris Oath, who, you know, is Mr. Big on sex in the City, he came over to say hello, and they were both like, oh, my God, we love you. And so it was. I would have. They. But they were so sweet. They would have gotten away with it if they didn't just after me see somebody they actually recognized. But it was the best.
Brooklyn Beckham
What was my. What was my dad wearing? Because obviously, in the early 2000s, my dad has had some pretty.
Seth Meyers
You know, what it might have been like. You know, it was not crazy. I feel like it's not crazy. Like, almost to a disappointing level, because that was the era where, you know, look, if you're going to see David Beckham, you're kind of hoping it was going to be.
Brooklyn Beckham
It wasn't it wasn't the double level one, the double lever that they.
Josh Meyers
A suit made out of sausage rolls.
Seth Meyers
I mean, again, I, I, the, the wedding stuff from the documentary, I was like, this is the best thing I've ever seen. Like these, like, I mean, you really are just like, these two are the most perfect match in the purple suit.
Brooklyn Beckham
It's so funny. Every, every Halloween, some I always get tagged in someone doing that outfit and they always dress their little kid in a purple suit with a cowboy hat and that's me. And it's so funny seeing that every time.
Seth Meyers
How old were you?
Brooklyn Beckham
I was one. I think I was one.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Too early to have memories, right? You only know from the pictures. Yeah, yeah.
Josh Meyers
Did you. Where were your grandparents nearby when you were growing up?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes, yes. I'm super close to them still. Always, you know, I've always been super close to them.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. Would you go to their houses?
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, all the time. All the time. Like whenever, Whenever. Me and Nicola go to London, we're always. Obviously we stay with my mum and dad and then sometimes we, we stay the night with my nanny, my, my dad's mum and then my nana and papa who are my mum's mum and dad.
Josh Meyers
And were they local to you? Were they close by when you were growing up?
Brooklyn Beckham
So they, so we live in London. They're at. Their house is actually in Sawbridge Worth, or close to Salvage Worth, which is kind of where I grew up, which is like a part the countryside of England. So it's like a hour and 15 minutes. It's not that bad. It's easier now that I drive. Just. Yeah, it's easier.
Josh Meyers
Would they ever, Would your parents ever pack all of you into the car and drive out for a meal or was that.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes, yes, we, it was like a tradition. We used to go down there and we used to have, we used to have either in Indian food or Chinese food. England does really good Chinese and Indian food. Yeah. So that, that, like growing up was our tradition. We either do takeaway or we go to the restaurant Gotcha.
Josh Meyers
And would you ever do trips that they, your grandparents would join you on?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes. So actually my day, my nana, papa have a place in Spain that we always used to go to probably there. And then my mom and dad used to have a house in France that we always used to go to.
Josh Meyers
Gotcha. And what was Spain? What was the vibe there? What was, were you seaside or.
Brooklyn Beckham
It was, it was like a really cute little. Well, they still have it. It's a cute little, like, townhouse. It's really nice, really private. And there's restaurants around there. It's not. It's like 20 minutes from the beach, but it's like in a town. And it's. It's really cute. Really, really, really great food.
Seth Meyers
So are there. Is there a large British community there? Because I know a lot of English people, like, okay, gotcha.
Brooklyn Beckham
So people love to go on holiday and get absolutely burnt. So. And they all. They all go to Spain. So I feel at home when I'm in Spain, to be honest. And I see all the. All the English people.
Seth Meyers
We, My wife and I, once, we were. We were in St. Lucia and we. We got to the. We had. We were like, I think like three hours away from the airport. And then we got to the airport and our flight had been canceled. And it was going to leave first thing the next morning. And we could either go all the way back to. It seemed crazy to go all the way back. And there was a hotel like right next to the airport and Brooklyn, it was 95% British people. And I've never seen the more sunburned. Also just the happiest sunburned people I've ever seen.
Brooklyn Beckham
You can tell that you can tell an English person when you see one. It's so funny.
Seth Meyers
And I just feel like an American would be at the hospital and they're just like, still trying to just tough it out for one more hour. I think they just know when we're going back to a place with no sun, we're going to get it while we can get it.
Brooklyn Beckham
Exactly. Oh, my God. No, it's so funny. Like, even, like if you. When you go to England and there's either, like if it's really sunny outside, but it's still like 59 degrees outside, you see people in the park with their shirts off. It's amazing. It's the best. Like, whenever there's sun. Whenever there's sun, all the English people go to the park and the pubs.
Josh Meyers
Is the idea of getting burnt to sort of have other people recognize that you've gone on holiday?
Brooklyn Beckham
Well, I think, you know, I burn very easy. Cause I'm English, but honest. I think, you know, everyone's always like, you get so burnt. Why do you do it? And I'm like, well, it does turn into a tan at some point. You know, you're only. You're only burned for a few days, and then you put some aloe vera on, it turns into a nice tan.
Seth Meyers
There's like, there are some doctors listening to this podcast right now. And they just took their headphones off and threw them across the room. Dermatologists will not be sponsoring this episode where Brooklyn's like, no, it turns into a tan. You're good. You're good, good.
Josh Meyers
Everyone burned.
Brooklyn Beckham
Try and not get burned, though. Sunscreen, good. But you know, sunscreen doesn't work for me.
Seth Meyers
When did you feel like as a kid you realized you had. You were drawn to sort of culinary styles and inspirations?
Brooklyn Beckham
So probably when I lived in Madrid with my family, I don't know, like, it was always me and my dad. Me and my dad always and still bond over food. We love going to restaurants, we love going to makasses. Like, me and my dad are the only ones in our family that will eat anything and try anything. So probably in Madrid, me and my dad, you know that if there's a new restaurant or this restaurant that my dad really wants to try, my mum is kind of a picky eater. So my brothers, when they were young, and they were really young when we used to live in Madrid. So it was always me and my dad going to these types of restaurants and eating some pretty strange things. But, you know, it's really fun.
Seth Meyers
That's fantastic. Anytime you can find something to do with just one parent, and it's not because the parent is favoring you, it's because the other kids are opting out. That's the dream. Because then you don't feel like a bad parent. It's more like you just have somebody who likes what you like.
Josh Meyers
Exactly.
Seth Meyers
Did you. So what is your favorite food scene of the places you've lived? Is it Madrid? Running away?
Brooklyn Beckham
Madrid has some amazing food. I really, really love Madrid. But I think I don't know my favorite place for with fate. My favorite food is Tokyo. I was lucky enough to go there with my dad a few years ago. I've been there twice. One with my dad, one with my wife. And it's my favorite food and the culture and the people, just everything out there is just unreal. It's amazing.
Seth Meyers
Was it just you and your dad the first time you went?
Brooklyn Beckham
The first time? Yes, it was a. It was a boys trip, just me and my dad.
Seth Meyers
And was it.
Josh Meyers
That's fun.
Seth Meyers
Was it based on the fact that you guys were gonna go get your eat on? Was it like, let's go.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes.
Seth Meyers
That's so great. So you took a food trip to Tokyo with your dad?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes, we were there for four days and every night we tried a different place. And I've. Because I. I was telling him maybe When I was like 15, I, I think we went when I was like 18 or 19, but when I was 15, there's this place called Gyro Dreams of Sushi. It's called Gyro. It's the place in the train station. And I've always want. And. And so my dad was, you know, he scheduled it and he surprised me and we went and it was absolutely unreal. It was amazing.
Seth Meyers
So you went into that little subway.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
Oh my God.
Brooklyn Beckham
It was, it was, it was amazing.
Seth Meyers
It was everything you wanted it to be.
Brooklyn Beckham
Honestly, the whole trip was amazing. It's very. When you, when you sit in front of Gyro, obviously he's like super old and he's super like professional and he, you sit down and he just stares at you and as soon as he puts the fish down, he like stares at you and you have to eat it. And it was, it's very nerve wracking eating in front of him. But it was such a cool experience.
Seth Meyers
Was most of your eating in Tokyo just. We'll eat what you give us. No pointing at a menu. Wow, that's good.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, yes. Yeah. Like, honestly, we didn't order anything. Like, we went to this place called Wagu Mafia. His name's Hammer, who I've actually known for a long time. He's one of my close friends and he has a restaurant in Tokyo called Wagyu Mafia. And they call him like the King of Wagyu. And he's unreal. You go to his restaurant and his chefs are like screaming, it's so good. Yeah, it's really fun.
Seth Meyers
There's that chef in Hero Dreams of Sushi, the one who keeps making the egg over and over again and basically has a nervous breakdown.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes.
Seth Meyers
He opened a place in New York called Nakazawa and.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, that place.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. My wife got me reserve. We went there for my birthday a few years ago and that it was. I feel like when I saw him, it's the way most people feel when they see your dad. I was like, oh my God, that's him.
Brooklyn Beckham
That's. Honestly, there's some great restaurants in New York. Like, my favorite Japanese is Yoshino. Yoshino and Ito. Those two. Unreal.
Seth Meyers
All right.
Brooklyn Beckham
And the pizza is amazing.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. So when. But that's a. I think that's. So it's not just when you go four days with your dad to Tokyo. It's not just sushi, it's the whole breadth of Japanese cuisine.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah. Yeah. It's.
Josh Meyers
Did you ever do anything like get up at like 4 in the morning to go to the fish market. And those kinds of things I did.
Brooklyn Beckham
So I. Me and my dad went with Hammer, Wag mafia, the. To the original fish market. And we woke up at four in the morning and we went. And I was so excited. So you walk into this fish market and you see all the shrimp, all the oysters, all of that. And then you go to the back and then you open up this curtain and you go in. And it was like maybe like 4:30, 5:00 in the morning. And the auction was just about to start, the tuna auction. And so Hammer was bidding on a tuna, and he won. And so he took it behind to, like, his little spot. And his chef had this massive sword that was just cutting it up. And we were having, you know, tuna sashimi at 5:30 in the morning. It was amazing.
Seth Meyers
You were having it just straight off the auction block.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, well, so when you cut it open, there's like the most expensive. And the best part is, like, in the ribs. And all you have to do is get like a spoon and just kind of scrape it off and put some soy sauce on there.
Seth Meyers
That's unbelievable.
Brooklyn Beckham
It was amazing. But at 5:30 in the morning, I.
Seth Meyers
Was like, yeah, it's such a thin line. What you're describing is such a thin line between like, absolute. The peak of culinary experience or like a punishment in a prison cell. Like, they kick in the door at 4:30 in the morning and make you eat rib meat from a tuna with a spoon.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. I was in Tokyo once, and in the hotel, there was a. Like a buffet breakfast, and then there was a traditional Japanese breakfast, and you could go to either one. And one day I was like, let me just go to this traditional Japanese breakfast. And it was like, way too much fish at that hour of the day.
Brooklyn Beckham
Honestly, in Tokyo, like, the food is absolutely unreal. But, like, you know, I was. I didn't really want to eat sushi for like, a couple months when I got back, obviously, just because, you know, when you try sushi in Tokyo and you come back and you're just like, oh, just. It's not the same. You know what I mean? Yeah, it was a lot.
Seth Meyers
It's a little bit. It's that I feel like nothing's more exciting than your first day in Italy when you're just like, this is the best. And then by the third day, you're like, I gotta change the way I'm living.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, exactly.
Seth Meyers
Like, I gotta get to the gym.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yep.
Seth Meyers
This is. Josh is gonna hate me. Because he hates when I promote my own work. But I'm just gonna say I have this show that nobody watches called Documentary now that does parodies of documentaries. But one of my favorite things I ever wrote, I wrote an episode called Juan Likes Chicken and Rice. And it's a parody of Gyro Dreams of Sushi. And I think you really enjoy it. Oh, my God.
Brooklyn Beckham
I'm definitely gonna watch.
Seth Meyers
It's on Netflix.
Brooklyn Beckham
Watching food Stuff. And.
Josh Meyers
Is that Fred?
Seth Meyers
It's. Yeah. Fred Armisen and Bill Hader in it. And we actually shot it in Colombia. It's a guy who has a tiny chicken restaurant that you have to walk to the top of a mountain for. And it's very funny. Especially if you liked. If you liked Hero. Cause that was one of my favorite documentaries of the last. And so you love Chef's Table?
Brooklyn Beckham
I do, Yeah, I do. Honestly, I. I just. I don't know. Like, I just love watching cooking stuff. And my wife's always like, what are you doing? Like, every time she's like, she like. Because, like our favorite, like, we used to love watching Gilmore Girls. Like, that was like our show.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
And everyone always laughs at me when I say that. They're like, really? And I'm like, yeah, it's like the best. But now all I watch is, is, you know, food stuff. So it's just. I love just looking at it.
Seth Meyers
Is. Is Nicola an adventurous eater?
Brooklyn Beckham
She has in the last four years since we've been together. I took her to this place called Vaspertine, which is a three star Michelin restaurant in la. And I didn't tell her what the restaurant was because usually she isn't a fan of those restaurants where they feed you, like one thing every 20 minutes.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
So we go to this restaurant. It's a date night. I tried really hard to get the reservation. I finally got it.
Josh Meyers
It.
Brooklyn Beckham
And then when we got there, she was like, please tell me this isn't one of those restaurants where you have one thing every 20 minutes. Because she. She has. She didn't eat all day. And I was like, oh, no. She's like, gonna be upset. So the first dish comes and she absolutely loves it. There's some very interesting dishes on that menu, but it's. It's unreal. It's really good.
Seth Meyers
It was really.
Brooklyn Beckham
It was really funny because we were laughing the whole time. It was just the. It was, you know. And now she likes to go to those restaurants with me.
Seth Meyers
Do you. What's the. As an adventurous eater, what is the thing that you Made the leap of adventure that you most regret. What's the thing you ate that when it was over, you were like, I could have done without that piece of adventure in my belly right now. I mean, I don't know.
Brooklyn Beckham
I think I don't really regret anything. But the most strangest thing I've ever eaten is probably cod sperm.
Seth Meyers
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh Meyers
That has to be in the number one.
Brooklyn Beckham
It's not like a crazy thing, but like, you know, but honestly, like, do.
Seth Meyers
They call it that or do they have a different name?
Brooklyn Beckham
They must have a different name.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
To be honest, I think so. But like, there's this, there's this other dish in Tokyo where they eat raw chicken, which I really want to try. I don't know if you've seen it, but the chicken's so clean and fresh there that they serve it to you like, like sashimi. So that's, that's on my list.
Josh Meyers
Whatever the word for cod sperm actually is, as soon as they say cod sperm, that's the only word you're going to remember, Right?
Brooklyn Beckham
Exactly. I'm sure there's another name for it.
Seth Meyers
They were like sweet breads and they were like, no, that's taken. I've only been in Madrid for 24 hours, but it was on my way home from Morocco and I had the greatest time in Morocco and I love it and the food is great, but my wife and my sister in law were shopping for rugs and I decided to eat some street meat and a Moroccan souk. And everybody, by the way, everybody was there. Everybody looked like they were having the time of their lives. It looked like the most delicious chicken I've ever had. It was the most delicious chicken I ever had. And then we got to Madrid and I was like, I'm gonna be in the hotel room slash the hotel room bathroom for the next 24 hours. And. And so I literally never saw Madrid. It was. We were there for 24 hours.
Brooklyn Beckham
I've definitely done that.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, I mean, you know, you gotta take a chance every now and then.
Brooklyn Beckham
Exactly. No, when in Madrid.
Seth Meyers
Why not?
Josh Meyers
Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.
Seth Meyers
Support comes from Blueland. Hey, Pashi.
Josh Meyers
Yes, Sufi?
Seth Meyers
How many? You guess how many plastic, hand soap and cleaning bottles are thrown away each year?
Josh Meyers
I don't know, 50, 65 billion.
Seth Meyers
Whoa, dope. And if that's not bad enough, most cleaning formulas are 90% water, which is heavy to shit, leading to excessive carbon emissions. Plus those products are often filled with nasty ingredients like chlorine and ammonia lose lose situation for you and the planet. But guess who's on a mission?
Josh Meyers
Posh Blueland.
Seth Meyers
They are on a mission to eliminate single use plastic by reinventing cleaning essentials to be better for you and the planet with the same powerful clean you are used to. I love it. I know you love it.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, I mean I haven't thrown out a cleaning bottle in a long time now because we've been a Blueland household for, I'd say over a year now and we love it.
Seth Meyers
You fill your reusable bottles with water you drop in the tablets, you wait for them to dissolve and then you never have to grab bulky cleaning supplies on your grocery run. That's a nice thing not to have to worry about.

Absolutely.

Josh Meyers
Hey, Seth.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Josh Meyers
Tell me about your inner adventure. Are you a rocky trails guy or more of a snow roads bird?
Seth Meyers
I'm a snow roads bird. Like to go up my snow roads, maybe pull over at one point, pop off a couple snow angels back in the car. Keep on rocking.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. I was gonna say your snow angels are some of the nicest snow angels I've ever seen.
Seth Meyers
They look as though an angel fell from heaven and just splatted into the snow.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. One thing I will say a note on snow angels, you don't have to do them face down.
Brooklyn Beckham
What?
Seth Meyers
This is gonna be a game changer. What about you, Posh? Rocky trails or snow roads bird?
Josh Meyers
Well, I mean, I'm a bit of both. I do love when you're in a vehicle that can handle some rocky terrain. I like driving slow and feeling a big old tire sort of creep over a rock and sort of waggle you back and forth. And that's the kind of feeling that you can get with some confidence in the Nissan Rogue Rock Creek and I.

Josh Meyers
Here we go. Did you ever solo travel with just you and your mom?
Brooklyn Beckham
I. The only one that I can remember is when we went to Africa to do, like, a charity trip when I was about 15, 14 or 15. That's, like the only trip that I can remember because obviously my mum's so busy with, you know, her fashion stuff, and I was at school and I taught and I, you know, when I was like, 14, 15, I was like, I really want to do a charity thing. And she was like, oh, I'm going on this one. Do you want to come with me? And I was like, yeah, I want to come. And it was amazing. I love Africa. I've been there a bunch of times and it. We. We just had the most fun and met amazing children. It was. It was great.
Josh Meyers
Where were you? Where. With that trip with your mom?
Brooklyn Beckham
I think we were in Kenya.
Josh Meyers
Okay.
Brooklyn Beckham
I think, I think, yeah, yeah. Because I've been there a few times. And I went. I was lucky enough to go and be a part of David Attenborough's Our Planet, which was really cool. Which was really cool. It was amazing speaking to him. So I've been to a few places in Africa, but, yeah, probably. I think we're in Kenya.
Josh Meyers
I imagine talking to David Attenborough, you just want him to never stop talking.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, my God. It was honest. So when I went on that trip, I turned vegan for a year.
Seth Meyers
Wow. Josh is. Josh is currently vegan.
Josh Meyers
Really vegan? Yeah, about five years in.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, wow.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
I. I've honestly, people always like, was it hard? And I was like, it really wasn't. Honestly, after speaking to him, I was like, I'm just gonna try it for a year. And it was the easiest thing.
Josh Meyers
Yeah, yeah. But it sounds like you've got that you've. You're too much of a Foodie. I feel like for you it would be very hard to cut things off, whereas for me it was like, very easy.
Seth Meyers
You can't do it, Brooklyn. Cause, like, no vegetables make sperm. And obviously we know that's.
Brooklyn Beckham
I know.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Look, if there was broccoli sperm, you'd be like, let's vegan it up. It's so funny when you say David Abrar. Like, I feel like you're like, oh, if you. Nothing's better than, like, going to Manchester with David Beckham or. Nothing's better than, like, going to. You know. But, like, you say, like, David Attenborough. It's so cool to be on our planet with him. Like, literally no. And there's no place you could go with him where he's not an expert.
Brooklyn Beckham
It was honestly, like, the footage that he got was when I was with him, he was like, explaining about this camera that he uses that was like millions and millions of dollars. It was this massive, like, circle on the front of this car. And they were filming these five jaguars, these five leopards, or what are the animals that run ridiculously fast?
Seth Meyers
Cheetahs.
Brooklyn Beckham
Cheetahs. So it was like there was these five cheetahs and they were all brothers. And it was just like, it was the first time that they've ever seen him. Five cheeses like this. Because they don't usually get along, so it's unreal to see. And he's just amazing. And when you. When you're talking to him, you just kind of. You just don't know what to say back because he's just like. The way he speaks and the way how passionate he is is unreal.
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Josh Meyers
Okay. That guy knows what he's doing.
Seth Meyers
I've never been to Manchester, England. I've always felt like it'd be a place I would like to go. Did you. Do you. Is it as a city, as cool as it seems from the outside, it.
Brooklyn Beckham
Is really cool, except for the weather. The weather's not great and obviously, like. And every single building is just bricks, so that's all I remember from it. But, you know, there's. There's great food, there's great pubs. There's. You know, the people are amazing, the accents are funny. So, yeah, it's, It's. It's. It's a really fun place to go for the weekend.
Seth Meyers
They don't even sell suntan lotion at the stores. There's no.
Brooklyn Beckham
They don't.
Seth Meyers
Never gonna need it.
Brooklyn Beckham
They don't. They don't just get it at the.
Seth Meyers
Airport when you land In Spain.
Josh Meyers
Have you ever taken a long train trip with. With making these, your own train snacks?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes. I'm trying to think where I went. It was for a festival. I went to Wales. I went to Wales for a festival a long time ago and I made a bunch of sausage rolls for my trip, naturally. Exactly.
Seth Meyers
You just, like, have a full rucksack. Yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Full rucksack.
Josh Meyers
Is that cause for getting a sleeper car to go to Wales? Is it that far? It's not that far.
Brooklyn Beckham
It's not that far. It's a couple hours I've driven once, you know, I've taken the train the other. And it's just, you know, honestly, going through all of Europe on trains is so fun. You just go on, you get drunk, and you see amazing England, which is the best.
Seth Meyers
We used to live. Josh and I used to live in Amsterdam and.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh, wow. I've always wanted to go. It's the one place I haven't gone yet.
Seth Meyers
You've never been to Amsterdam? Shocking for a man of the world. I'm blown away.
Josh Meyers
It was always known as a terrible food city, but it's come into its own.
Seth Meyers
It's way better. It's way better.
Brooklyn Beckham
I know. I really want to go. I really want to go.
Seth Meyers
I mean, we're not usually the ones throwing out the recommendations, but, yeah, go.
Brooklyn Beckham
My list is definitely on my list.
Seth Meyers
Is. Is Nicola, before you guys met, do you feel like she's. Does she love to travel as well?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, so she. She acts and she directs. So she's, you know, she's been in a few movies that, you know, have that, you know, filming in Tokyo. Filming and, you know, God knows wherever. But. So, yeah, she, you know, she. She did travel. You know, she lives in. She used to live in. Before we were together, she lived in LA with her brother, and her mum and dad live between New York and Miami and Palm Beach. So, you know, she's always. She's always traveling. But honestly, like, since we've been together, we're always traveling because my mum and dad live in London and my grandparents. Going to New York, going to Miami, going to, you know, it's. We're always traveling.
Josh Meyers
Yeah.
Seth Meyers
How do they feel when you bring your giant sack of sausage rolls on a plane? Gotta be a real.
Brooklyn Beckham
It is interesting. They're just. I mean, they always, like, look through my bags and I have to explain to them what it is. It's, you know, it's. It's a pain, but, you know, I get it done. I get it.
Josh Meyers
I Feel the same way about podcast equipment.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh my God. I feel like they like, honest. I was traveling, I went to see my hot sauce being made in Arizona, and I was with my friend Hunter, who's a photographer, and he had this light, which is. And the guy was like looking through his. This light for like an hour and he like didn't understand it. So I could imagine with podcasting equipment that, you know, they fully look for it.
Josh Meyers
Yeah. Where in Arizona?
Brooklyn Beckham
I'm not sure the actual place, but it's called Az Peppers. I don't. Not really familiar with Arizona, but I went there when it was 115 degrees.
Josh Meyers
And that's like every day. That's.
Seth Meyers
So is this you. So once you came up with your recipe, then you had to decide, like, where to get your peppers sourced.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, so when I came up with the recipe, the original sweet jalapeno recipe, I wanted to. It was very important that, that it had to be fully organic. I really wanted it to be fully organic. And so it's actually very hard to find an organic pepper farm because not many hot sauces are organic. So I was searching for like, I don't know, like seven, eight months trying to find the perfect place. And then I found this place called Az Peppers in Arizona. Got on the plane, met them, fell in love with them. It's dad and his son, they own it together, which I really like, like, and, and I was there for a few days trying over 150 different types of hot sauces. Like too much sugar, too much that. So I decided to go with them. And yeah, they're amazing.
Josh Meyers
How do you feel after a weekend like that trying 150 hot sauces? It sounds like a Madrid day to me.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah, I had to have a. I had to have a lot of milk, so.
Seth Meyers
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. You've seen that show, Hot Ones.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yes. So the guy, the guy, the main guy, Sean, right?
Seth Meyers
Yeah.
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah. So he came to my Cloud 23 hot sauce party event in LA.
Seth Meyers
Talk about the A lister.
Brooklyn Beckham
Oh my God. I know. Like, it was so cool and I was so worried about this party. But anyway, he came and he was the sweetest guy because my dad just went on and it was my dream to go on. And even now when me and my wife, we have four dogs, so we don't like to usually go out for dinner every night. So we stay in and I cook up a bunch of hot like wings and I buy a bunch of different hot sauces. Obviously mine is one of them and we Try and like, recreate it as one of our date nights. That's like our thing and. But no, he's the nicest guy and I hope I get the chance to go on one day.
Seth Meyers
I went on and I mentioned it because you said the milk, like, that's the part that kills you. I mean, the hot sauce is bad enough, but then you like the amount of dairy you intake to, like, combat the heat. That was harder for me the next day. Oh, yeah?
Brooklyn Beckham
Was it really hot?
Seth Meyers
Was it really bad? It was at the end. It was really. I felt like my whole. Not only, like my physical face, I felt like the part of my brain that is, like, good at answering questions was like, I'm gonna go deal with this. How? The burning of the tongue.
Brooklyn Beckham
I would love to try it. Cause I've done the one chip challenge. Just. Cause I was just curious. Have you ever seen the one chip challenge?
Seth Meyers
No.
Brooklyn Beckham
It's horrendous. It's this chip. It's horrible. It's this one chip that's like the shape of a Dorito and it's like 25 online. I ordered some and I've seen videos. It was like a tick tock trend for like a while, but they. You're supposed to eat it and you can't have water or milk or anything for like four minutes. And like, it was actually dangerous because some people like going to the hospital. But I really wanted to try it because I love spicy food. So I bought one and I actually videoed it and I posted it on my Instagram a couple years ago. And it was the hottest thing I've ever had in my life. And it was the wrong day to do it because the next day I had a really important meeting on the Zoom with Whole Foods. My hot sauce, it wasn't, you know, it was the wrong day to do it. So.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, I.
Josh Meyers
Sounds like every day for me.
Seth Meyers
You even talking about it, I felt like opened up my sinuses.
Josh Meyers
Like, just.
Brooklyn Beckham
It was horrible. And it was like. It's like this, like, really dark chip. It was horrendous.
Josh Meyers
So if you ordered a few, did you sort of get some friends around to be like, hey, come on, let's come over and do one chip challenge together?
Brooklyn Beckham
Yeah. I mean, I ordered like 10 because I was like, I'm not gonna do it alone. Own, so.
Josh Meyers
And also free shipping. If you get free shipping.
Seth Meyers
Exactly.
Brooklyn Beckham
So I tried to get. I tried to get my brothers to do it. They wouldn't do it. I tried to get my wife's brothers to do It. They wouldn't do it. So I've just been handing them out to my friends.
Seth Meyers
Yeah, your dad's like, normal chips.
Brooklyn Beckham
No, my dad. My dad won't do it. My dad won't do it. 1. One day, I'll make him do it.

Seth Meyers

Brooklyn Beckham
Yes.

Seth Meyers
