JIMMY TATRO Went To Japan For The Deaf Olympics

Hey, tripsters, I know that we just did an episode where my wife sat in, and she's here again. I'm back. You're back, but just for an intro. Back to save the day, so that you don't have a grumpy intro. It's one intro alone. And I get some harsh comments. Yeah. And some of those harsh comments come from my wife. Well, we've got to keep the people happy. So you're very charming on your episode. You haven't heard it as we record this, but yeah, you were great. Thank you for sitting in. Yeah. And thank you for sitting on on this to keep me even keeled. Your mother is visiting us at the moment. And as a little wrinkle as we record this, she's sitting right there. She wanted to watch a podcast intro, be recorded. So she's here. Linda's here. Linda in. Yeah. And you had you had an adventure picking her up at the airport yesterday. We had an LAX adventure. My good friend, Britt had just come back from a family trip to Paris. Oh, love it. And she couldn't find her wallet and then realized she had left it on the plane. Oh, yeah. And called Air France. They actually had it. And she was telling me this yesterday while we were working with the horses. And she's like, yes, so now I just have to figure out when I can get to LAX, which is like kind of far from where the barn is. And I was like, did you forget I'm going there today? I can pick it up for you. So I had like, I left early so I could park and walk to Air France and figure it out. And I actually succeeded in getting her wallet, which just feels like a miracle. Yeah. And they were probably pretty hardcore about needing some identification and some stats on your friend to hand over a wallet. I just had to FaceTime her. I honestly don't think the lady even looked at her license. And I did obviously have all the information, but I just FaceTime turned. And she was like, yes, that's my wallet. Yes, thank you so much. And that's good enough. Yeah, that was good enough. So that was like a big relief. And then walked back to Delta. I was waiting for my mom and my mom and I like track each other. So I can see like she walks dogs alone a lot out in the woods. And she likes to see me driving at work sometimes. You guys are stalkers. You're stalkers for each other. Are you driving at work? So I was following her little blue dot through the airport. And then at one point I was like, we should be able to see each other. And I couldn't see her anywhere. And I was like, oh, there's kind of a secret bathroom over there. And I walked in the bathroom and just went, Linda. And she was like, yeah. So, yeah, put her up, made her way home. You had a nice dinner made and we also had what was that drink called? Oh, I made a Hugo Spritz. A Hugo Spritz. It's apparently the drink of the summer everybody. The summer, I get a test. It was delicious. The article in the New York Times saying it's dethroned the apparel Spritz. So maybe, maybe everybody. I thought it was delicious. Yeah, but I recommend you guys try. It's really, really fun. We've got some fun things coming up. I'm actually, in a couple weeks now, I'm going to Comic Con, which is exciting. There's a mad TV rewind panel. So I will be down at Comic Con. That is on July 25th, if you happen to be there. I won't be there. Yeah, you won't be there. But yeah, me and a bunch of the old mad TV cast will be there. We'll be there kind of Thursday through Sunday as well. Doing some signings. So I'm looking forward to that. And then bigger family trips news. We've got a couple of live shows this summer. We will be in Philadelphia on August 12th at City Winery. And then we will be in Boston the next day, August 13th. Again, at City Winery. And if you want tickets for those, you can go to city winery.com. Exciting. Very exciting. I've never run out of beer. I know. I don't think I just did. The family trips fans are quite like the full Scottish fans. But I don't know. We'll find out when we get there. Yeah. I've never been to Philadelphia. I'm very much looking forward to it. It always has struck me as a city that I'd be very into. You got to do the steps. I had to do the steps jump up and down. I did the steps when I was there trying horses once. And all my riding gear. Yeah. You just marched right up. Yeah. So it should be fun. If you're interested, please come out and see us. And then today's episode, we've got Jimmy Teatro. You might know him from theater camp. You might know him from your cordially invited. He is about to star alongside Will Farrell in the Netflix series, The Hawk. Honey, do you like Will Farrell? I love Will Farrell. Yeah, I know. If you ever meet a laugh, man, just watch that. Yeah. But Jimmy Teatro is a delight. American Vandal is kind of the first thing that I knew him from. He does just one thing to call out in this episode. He does say he's been to Antelope Canyon and says that that's part of Grand Canyon, isn't it? And I looked it up after our conversation. And it's nowhere near it. So yeah. Well, good thing. Yeah. Good thing you looked it up so you don't get in trouble. Yeah. Well, I mean, it looks like an amazing canyon, but it's not the Grand Canyon. Yeah. So where it goes. But thanks again for sitting in, honey, Sufi is going to be here with me, yep, with me for this conversation. And so this is going to do it for you if you want to say goodbye to all the listeners and trips too. Bye, everybody. Sure. I'll see you again. Hey. How are you? I'm good. Can you guys hear me? Oh, yeah, crystal clear. Thank you. Yeah. A baritone. You're coming through full baritone. Yeah. Yeah. Give me a little vibration. I'm very excited. I mean, you've already, we haven't seen you yet, but you've already gotten to work with Will Farrell. And I'm very excited about that. Yeah. Very, very happy for you that you got to do that. I know. It was actually, it was actually like fifth time. Really? Fifth time working with Will. Oh, yeah. One hasn't come out, but I also a huge fan of American bandal. Want to get that out of the way. Yeah. Thank you, man. Thank you. I mean, I'm a huge fan of yours. Thank you very much. Yeah. How are you? You're from LA. Yeah, I am. I grew up in LA. I grew up in an advanced blue baritone, like 14. And then we moved to Westchester, kind of, out of the airport. Out here. Yeah. Westchester. No, no, no. Westchester LA. Oh, gotcha. We have, we actually have a Westchester airport out here. So it was like, there's a Westchester airport. Well, there's a white white, there's a white planes airport. So I knew a lot of my family on the East Coast lives in Westchester. Yeah. And then my family in LA still lives in Westchester LA. So it's a computer. Got it. And two siblings. Two siblings, little brother, little sister. How much older are you than them? I am 34. My sister's like 32-ish. And my brother is, I believe, 29. OK. So I'm like, you know, two and five. Were you a good older brother to them? I thought I was, but I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I think I just like was, I think I was very like consumed with myself in hindsight. So yeah, I don't know. I have anything I was like a lead by example type of older brother. But that's a very funny way to talk about what you were doing after you admit. Like you actually weren't that good at it. You were like, I was, I was doing my own thing and hoping they learned from it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I definitely like got us into some funny situations and I definitely created some funny moments and stuff. I mean, do you think they look back on it and they're like, you know what? He was a lot of fun. And you know, maybe he wasn't paying any attention to us, but it was a really good ride. I like to think of it that way. Also, it has been interesting as I've gotten older to hear the way they recall certain things. It's totally different from my memory of certain things, like you truly do have like completely different experiences than people that you're in the same situations with. But it's nice because they can remind you of stuff that you don't even remember. And you're like, oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. You're happy. Yeah. Josh, you're very lucky. I think to have that shared memory. And also, we've stuck together all through like college and then even after college. Until we were like almost like 27, we completely overlapped in every part of our life. Yeah. Really? You guys went to the same college? Yeah. We did. Yeah. So he was just two years ahead of me. And then I went there and then he moved to Amsterdam. And then I moved there. And then he moved back. And then we kind of like, we lived together one summer after we moved back to the states. But, uh, and then we've been on like opposite coast for like 25 years. We like, I mean, barely, you're like a stranger to me now. Well, now we have this. Yeah. That's true. When you moved to Amsterdam. Yeah. There was an American improv comedy theater over there, boom Chicago. And we both. got hired. You've worked with our buddy, uh, Ike Baronholds, yeah. I don't think I have. Oh, I thought you did. I thought you were, um, no, he's like the guy that I just feel everyone's like, you know, I like, right? Yeah. I don't. I don't know. It's, it's going to be a fit. When, when you meet him, it's going to be a fit. I'm telling you that, Jimmy. Um, uh, are you, uh, are you siblings in, uh, L.A. Still? My brother is in New York and my sister's still in L.A. Gotcha. My brother moved out there like five years ago. What did your parents do when you were a kid? Were they in show business at all? No. Um, my mom, uh, is an audiologist like she, she works for L.A. Unified School District and, and gives kids hearing aids and my dad worked for L.A. X. Got all right. Childhood. So not, not very showbiz. Yeah. What did your dad do? Do it L.A. X. He was in noise management. He, you know, he's explained to me what he does so many times. This is our father similar. I will say 100% no judgment. The Myers boys could not tell anybody what their dad does. I tried so hard to listen and, and like absorb what he's telling me and I've like asked like with genuine interest, like, like, so explain to me, like, what are you doing with on a day to day basis? And then like about halfway through, I'm like, fuck, I like, I, I can't, I don't even know what you're saying. I don't even understand. And then my mom was like, he's really that explaining it. And then she explained it to me one time and I was like, okay, I get that more than everything she said. Yeah. Did I know that like people who have parents who work for airlines get like great travel perks. Do you get those perks if your dad works for an airport? We used to get. He used to be able to like walk us in. That was like the perk. That's a good perk. You could go with either airport and like walk through security and like hang in there with you. Right. Which is cool for you. I don't know how cool it is for him. Right. You're like, Hey, I got two hours to kill. Do you want to come like hang with me? Right. But then I think his, his perks got really, they really decreased after 9/11. A lot of them were like being able to like get us through security lines quicker and then. Yeah. The perks were just for them. They were like, this guy can't even explain what he does. We're going to let him walk his family. I don't know. We do for the airport 10 minutes ago. And you're still talking. And you still have no idea. Look, I'm not saying you're shady. You just are coming off as shady. It's coming off very shady. I think I don't know if it was noise management and then it was a firearm environmental affairs and had a lot to do with like the noise. Right. Of the airport and managing the way the communities dealt with that noise. I mean, I will say for his failure to explain it, it does seem like he was providing a very valuable service. Like everything you're saying, I'm like, Oh, I think this is the people would have been able to would have really appreciated what he did if he could have explained better. It seemed like everyone that he talked to was already coming in with a little bit of anger. It wasn't like anyone was like, Hey, we're loving the amount of noise that's coming. Yeah. And we just want to keep it up. Nobody would ever come in and be like, we my wife and I were talking the other day about how we cannot believe we live this close to an airport and never hear it. And we just don't want to call you. And we just wanted to say that. We don't always people that are like, yeah, it's expanding. At one point, there was like a whole expansion didn't need to deal with where they were. They had to deal with like a type of like insect that was just going extinct and the expansion of the airport. That was, I think, the environmental affairs portion. Yeah, I feel like that's one of those things that I don't want to judge and I don't want to stare a type. I sometimes feel like the people who are like, we can't lose this insect low key or just like, we feel like it's going to be super loud. And we don't. And we know you won't stop. We know you won't stop because we think that. So we have a new best friend who is an insect. You might be on to something. I might be. Yeah. We can't just complain about noise. So like, let's find some obscure animal that's endangered by this project. Yeah. And they're always, they're always so bummed they can't find something cute. They're like the main thing. Mantis population has already been through enough. And this is really going to just put it over the edge. And they're always like, oh, why can't it be a lemur? Why can't it be something that was in an animated movie? Hey, we're going to take a quick break and ear from some of our sponsors. Support comes from Mint Mobile.

We didn't travel at time. And that's the end of this part. Pretty tight, pretty tight. We would go on like maybe like one. It's like we would do like one big family trip a year, and it was usually Disneyland. But then we started doing a family camp in Sequoia. And that was fun. And then maybe once a year we would drive to my mom's college friends place in Colorado, and we'd go snowboarder skiing and stay with them. And they were all ski instructors who they could hook us up with gear and stuff. So that would be like, I really looked forward to that one. But it was like, that one was a bit of a slog because we would get in the car at like 2 a.m. and drive to Colorado in like one day. Wow. What mountain were you sort of based out there? We would do copper, keystone, a basin. I think we did breakfast and it's like once or twice. Yeah. Did you, did you catch this skiing bug? Not the, not the bug that the LAX expansion was going to crush the skiing bug? Was that something you still do? That one is long gone. But no, I did. I definitely did because I grew up skating, you know, living in Venice. And so I wanted to, every time we'd go, I was like, it was like I had four days, maybe the entire year to get as good as I could to last until the next season. So I always just like we get, I get there. I'd love it. And then I would be so jealous of like all the kids that would just, we're just out there all season getting so good. Yeah. So you never, where you always based on being a skateboarder, did you just know snowboarding was what you wanted to do? Did you ever ski as well? I wanted to be a pro skater until I was probably like 12 maybe 11. And then my sights shifted towards the NBA. To something you, you, you, you, all of a sudden found something less rational. Yes. Yeah. I was like, I looked in the mirror one day and I was like, my frame is screaming NBA. That's so heartbreaking for parents when you finally give up on the skateboard dream. And you're like, it's going to be basketball. And they're like, oh, it's finally going to realize that maybe you should get into, you know, the arts. Yeah. I know that's the funniest thing is like when you were like, I'm going to be an actor. They were like, thank God. I mean, it's not easy, but it's better than his previous two choices. For sure. They're like, it took you way too long to arrive. at a somewhat rational idea of what you can do physically. How much skateboarding do you do as a kid growing up in Venice? Was it like, was it an everyday thing for you? Yeah. It was everyday like probably four hours a day. Were you at like Venice has that famous skate park right on the beach? Were you there? Were you in that bowl? You knew now. Oh, skate park was, there's like the skate park and then there's this little thing on the outskirts that just like a little tiny ramp with like a rail that people just walk by now on their way to the skate park. That used to be the whole Venice skate park, but wasn't really that exciting. We were more, we were more street skaters, so we would just kind of mop around looking for spots, but like from age probably seven until 13, it was like a four hour a day. When I actually started making like skate videos and that was, I was like the guy that made the videos and that was kind of how I got into, I mean, that's kind of how I got into this career ultimately because I started making like, turned making them funny. It was in like the jackass era, so I started making it like comedy sketches and then that just turned into like making sketches without the skateboarding and then that turned into making YouTube videos and then that turned into everything. What was your gear for the earliest skateboard video you were making, like what were you shooting it on? It was this little, it was this little, well first there was a bigger one that was like this big, this big black, it was like a D.V. maybe like a little, and it was hilarious because I didn't know how to like edit, you know, I was, I was nine, so I would carry around this boom box and I'd hit play and record at the same time on the, you know, to try to keep the same song going and I'd like stop recording and hit pause, because it was like super choppy Lincoln park track that would just be going in the background and shitting. And then the credits would be, you just write stuff on a piece of paper and just pan down it. So those earliest videos, who, who was consuming it was your, was it your friends that were a fellow skateboarders, were you sharing it with them or were you putting it online? I know, wasn't even online, this is, this is, you know, 2002. Oh god, yeah, so yeah, so no, the views came from my like three or four friends that were in them. Yeah. And my family and my brother was often a prop in a lot of these videos that it's early on. What sort of prop work was he doing in the video? Well, you know, like if I wanted to do a video, you know, where I'm like dunking on an eight foot hoop and jumping over someone, he would be in like sitting in a box. Right. You were leading by exactly. We're like just a little ranger sketches, he was always like, he was always like the victim in these like little sketches where it'd be like, he'd be like my stuntman basically. Yeah. In his comedy sketches. A wheeling victim. It seems like he would probably want to be a part of this. I think it was. I think he actually, I think he actually enjoyed it. I actually watched a couple of these recently. It was one where I like made a sketch about like shooting someone in the neck with a dark gun or something. And he, and he was like, and that was the whole, that was the whole thing. And he seemed pretty enthusiastic in the video. Yeah. He did move across the country. Yeah. That is what we should. As soon as he, as soon as he found out there was, there was a different Westchester. He's like, I got to check that one out. I'm not leaving a Westchester, but I think you're not. Yeah. I'm going to go to a different Westchester. What was the car to drive to, uh, out to Colorado? We, my, what, it used to be this, uh, it used to be an explore, Ford Explorer. And that was, you know, five of us in the Ford Explorer was a little tight. And then I remember when I was like, 11, my mom got, uh, the Toyota, CNN and then. And we were over the moon. We were like, this is, we were like, oh, we were, it's, this is insane. Yeah. There are so much space. We all had the person in the back had their own little section. And then there was the two bucket seats. And, uh, that really changed the game in the, uh, on the road trips. I also just remember them always eating red vines. Like that was what they were. That's what would keep them awake on these long drives of your parents. Yeah. Wow. I don't think I've ever heard about that as, uh, as a change. I thought it would start coming up as I became an adult. Like I would start understanding the right, but like red vine thing. And it just hasn't. And no one has heard of this. They're like, there's caffeine in red vines. I was like, is there because before, before Red Bull, there was red vines. Right. Yeah. It's just, it's also funny because you're like, there's just so many other things that have caffeine. So many. So you get to red vines. And they landed and we get this big block, this big like, yeah, I know those back there. Yeah. Yeah. A two, a, a two AM departure, uh, would they switch? Would they dealt, would they switch the driver? They would switch drivers. Gotcha. And it was funny. I, I would know a driver switch was coming. Like whenever my dad would be driving and you'd hear the like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Of like, going accidentally driving on the, uh, right, on the line for a little, uh, a little too long, I'd like hear the, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I'd like kind of look up like, uh, oh, and my, and my mom, like, do me, like, like clockwork every time. Do you need to switch? Yeah. Uh, and were you good? Were the kids just immediately conked out in the minivan? I mean, I would imagine you have to be. I think we, we would play games and stuff like we would bring, uh, we'd bring games to play in the car because it was like 16 hours. I think we'd sleep a little bit. And then we, uh, they got, they got a portable DVD player at one point. Those little, like, those little things exist. Um, so we'd watch it. We'd watch a movie. I remember watching my mom in the backseat watching Borat when I was in high school because we did this all the way up until like my junior senior year of high school. And actually the last time we made this trip was, I broke my back, snowboard, and that was, that was the last time we did this, this trip, now that I think about it. I mean, it's a pretty good reason to stop. I guess. Yeah. Uh, Josh, uh, Josh is a fellow broken backer. So yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, ropes course, uh, zip line in Mexico. So, uh, classic, yeah, classic really was, we, we supported the back, uh, L1 and L2, which is kind of a good, kind of good ones to break. They're very low, but, uh, not fully down at the tailbone. But, uh, I want to say, maybe it goes five, four, three, two, one, and then it starts counting other ones. So, yeah, I know mine was L1, okay, after L1 left transverse, you and was it just, uh, uh, fall off an extreme jump or was it just a regular fall? It was, my mom would say probably that it was completely my dad's fault, actually. Oh, interesting. I will. I will say that, uh, the only reason, uh, our mom has not blamed our dad for Josh is that he wasn't there. But I'm sure she tried, I'm sure she's still trying to figure out how it was his fault. She, um, he did egg me on, he's never going to live this down poor guy. He felt so bad. But it was, I was like going off this, this little jump. I had found this little, this little jump. And I was, you know, it was like the last second, the last day or something. And I was starting to get my confidence back. And I was like, hitting this jump and then I got like, on one of them, I felt like I got pretty high, which I would imagine if I saw the video, it was nowhere near as high as it felt. Right. Um, and I was like, I like, what's my dad, I was like, that was pretty, pretty high. And he was like, it was high, but I think you could go higher now, like, oh, yeah. And on the next one, I went to go hit that same thing and I just, I would just fly, I just didn't even turn and I just hit it going so fast. And immediately in the air, I find myself horizontal. And I was just like, oh, no, I have no ideas about how to get out of this. And I'm just whaling sideways and I landed like I just completely cleared the landing and just waded on my side and I was like, oh, I just lay there for like five minutes and I sing in the stars. And uh, and after a second, I was like, all right, I think I can make it down. And I got up and proceeded to falling leaf down the rest of the mountain. And I felt like kind of okay, but then once I unstrapped my mind in and moved to my foot, like a little bit out of the locked in position. It was like my whole body just like throws up. I think that was where I like, I think because I was still locked in, it was like holding even though I had to. - Right. - There's something. And then once I moved the all just like, or, oh my, like hamstring stuff. - You must, your first thought must've been like, this is gonna be such a fun 16 hour ride home. (laughing) - Oh my God, yeah, that sucked. - Did you, what did you do? - You just like, and even lying down sucked. And then they went, it was, I think that there was actually like one or two more days of snowboarding. And it was like Easter the next day. But I just remember like getting up to go to the bathroom. I had to like plan ahead 'cause I was like, it's gonna take me like this few minutes. Just walked to the bathroom 'cause you're doing like, the baby steps, 'cause if you take a big step, it was like, and it was just like inch, inch, inch. And just, where you headed Jimmy? I'm gonna go to the bathroom, we'll be back in 30. - Yeah, oh yeah. What was the family camp at Sequoia like? Was that a bunch of families go to one sort of place? - It was, it was like a, yeah, it's like every family kind of got a cabin. And we did that for, I think we started going when I was 12. They still go, my parents still go over here. I actually still go like, I'll still come by for a few days if I can, like this year, I'm gonna go for like three days. - Do you know the other families? Did you like, did you go with a group of families that you all knew or? - We like got, the first family, we found out about it through my mom's family friend. And then we started kind of going and we hang out with them. And then they stopped going after like two years. And it was just kind of us. And then maybe 10 years ago, my mom's like, one of my mom's good friends and her family started going, and they've been going ever since. So now it's like, that's kind of the friend family. But there was like a variety of different families, that would come every now and then that would like, we'd invite and they'd get their own cabin and everyone stays around this lake. And there's like five different camps that are all around this lake and everyone's kind of there at the same time. - That's great. - And you just do activities. And one of those things I definitely didn't appreciate as much as I like I went last year. And like I always thought the Sequoia trees were cool, but I didn't really appreciate it like I did last time where I was looking at these trees that are 2000 years old. And I was like, oh my god, this is like that branch right there is what, it's older than me, just that little branch. - I like when someone is like who's younger than me, which obviously you are. I like that when you are, you're not old enough to be like trees are old. We didn't used to have a skate park. I like that you're like going through this thing and I went through where you just self-suddened to be like, oh man, kids these days don't understand. (laughing) - It's pretty much walking through the Sequoia, the National Park and I was like, man. I was like, dad, did I care about the trees? Was I really appreciating these trees the way I should? And he was like, you thought they were cool, but you weren't like talking about them in like a deep way like you are right now. - That's true. And by the way, that would be weird on a seven year old. If my, if my, if my eight year old stopped him was like, dad, just think about these trees for a second. You'd be like, what's going on? (laughing) - What's going on? - You think about what these trees have seen again. - Would there be at family camp, would there be sort of different, would you group off and go like this group's gonna go do this hike today? We're gonna go, yeah. - Yeah, they have like a sign-up sheet and they would do, there'd be like arps and crafts. There's a basketball course, you could play basketball, there'd be like archery. There's all kinds of activities going on each day and you could kind of break each other. And there was always like, you know, there would always be that other, you know, that girl that get a crush on her. There was always a little some kind of, cause I used to bring a friend and we would like go run off and kind of do our own thing. But there was also, there was this other family that like, they were like, this is our family camp called the belugas. And they had like, they had a flag that they'd fly in their little area, they had like three cabins and they'd bring like a big camper van and they had this flag, this beluga flag and they'd wake up every morning at like six a.m. and go, "Beluga!" And we had hate enough, we were just like, shut up, we're here, we're trying to sleep a little bit. You guys are waking everyone up so early in the morning. - It's so cool that you, before you worked with him met a Will Ferrell character in real life. (laughing) - Yeah, seriously. - It's like, I think he auditioned for SNL with the beluga family flag. (laughing) - Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.

So we all went out and watched Death Olympic volleyball. - Was that his first, was that his first Olympics? Or has he competed before? - It was. He, well, he played in like the world championships. - Uh huh. - He had to be now the previous year. - Amazing. - He qualified. And we all went out for that as well. And then to Tokyo in, in November. And that was fun. - That is my bucket list. The place I'm also gonna go is Japan. With my family, they're probably, you know, the youngest one's probably a little too young for it now, but was it, was it everything I wanted it to be? - It is. I loved it. I also like, I took a little, I took a little bit of Japanese in high school. So I like, feel like I can, yeah. - I don't remember much, but I'll like brush up on it before I go out there. Like I downloaded one of the, one of the, you know, Kim Slur, uh, like I was the other one. They're like the popular one. - Duolingo, duolingo. - It's like a duolingo. - It's like a, yes, like that. But I like was brushing up on my Japanese. - I did the cheaper of the two. And, uh, the cheaper less popular one. - It says on it says not as good, but still fun. Was it, was it just the five of you that went? Or did you like bring significant others? Like how many people went over for the trip? - It was the first time it was just, uh, the five of us. - Uh-huh. - And then the second time it was supposed to be, I was supposed to bring my fiancee, but she was, she was working or something. So she had to bail. And then my brother brought his girlfriend and then our aunt and uncle came as well. - Fantastic. - A whole family affair. - How many matches did you go to? How many times did your brother play over the course of the Olympics? - They played, so they, they like, play like four pool play games and then like three or four play-off games. I mean, it was like seven total, but I was in the middle of shooting the show that I'm doing with Will. - Yeah. - And I could, I got off. I think I got off the Thursday and Friday. So Wednesday, I wrapped at like six p.m. I went straight to the airport and flew to Tokyo at like midnight. Wendy, at like five a.m. on Friday. I had all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And then Monday, I flew back to, to LA. and I was shooting on Tuesday. So I did a quick weekend in Japan. - Yeah, you flew back and somehow landed an hour after you left. Like that's how crazy travel is. - That is mind-blowing, 'cause I thought about that the first time I did it and I was like, 'cause you land like a couple hours back in time. - Yeah. - And I was like, if we, if we keep going. (laughing) - Is that, yeah, is that time travel? - That's that old Superman thing of fun. - Yeah, yeah. - Just because it's a reverse it. - Yeah, yeah. - I, you know, I'm a big proponent of theirs. It's worth a long travel for like a short trip if the trip is the right reason. Like, you know, I remember flying to Europe once for basically 12 hours to go to a friend's wedding and turning it around and coming back and I'm like totally worth it. - And I would imagine when, you know. Obviously, not to put this on Josh, but I've never had a brother in any kind of Olympics. So I'd never had the opportunity to take a trip like this. - That's really too bad. - It's a major bomber. It's a bummer for me too, Seth. - Yeah, sure. - Well, my outfair, I don't feel like it's fair for you to turn it around on me. How did they do? Did he, did he come home with a medal? - They did okay. They got fourth. So they just, they just, you know, people in other countries are much, much different. (laughing) - Okay, got to come. So he did lose on volleyball in the end. - Oh, the medals are based on champions, great. - But when it came to the hearing portion. - I see. So the scoring, it's a different scoring system. - Oh yeah. (laughing) - No, they did, they did well. They, I got to see them win the first playoff game. - Great. - And then they lost. It was like the team that was supposed to be the number one team got upset and they had to play against them earlier than they would have hoped. - I see. - And they lost. - Yeah, that's unfortunate. - Yeah, but it was still, it was great. - Does your family travel well? Are you like parents like good in a foreign land? - I try to take as much of the planning into my own hands as I can. - Yeah. - My, yeah, they've gone a lot better, I'd say. And my mom is good at like traveling in a certain way. She likes to stress out a little bit. She, it's like a necessary part of her process that when I was a kid, I could kind of exist below it. And I would like not really be privy to the stress that was happening on the decision making level. I was just kind of in the back, minding my own business. But then now that we're all kind of on the same wave length, it can stress me out from time to time. - Right. - But like, I didn't Japan the first time. I was like, let me just, let me just navigate. You know, let me do the navigation. And then she also got out the navigation on her phone. And would chime in from the back seat, even though I had it. And I was like, she's like, are we going left here? I'm like, we're going, I have it. You can close yours, actually. - Yeah, we put the same destination. That could never happen to us because our mom has literally no idea how to open a map on her phone. - But that's kind of nice. - I think it's kind of nice. I mean, her daily screen time is maybe one or two minutes, I think, total. Yeah. - She's holding on to analog interactions and map work. - That's kind of nice. - It is good. I don't know why I'm making it seem like it's bad. But every now and then, my parents are coming to visit me. And I'm like, when do you think you're going to get here? And they're like, I don't know. And I'm like, oh, you don't, 'cause if you do Google Maps, it'll tell you to the minute. You know what I mean? I'm like, it'll literally tell you to the minute when you're going to be here. And they're like, after lunch, I'm like, after fucking lunch, I'm going to do it. - What are your cross streets again? - Oh my God. Yeah, like, what are, where do we get off? I'm like, you get off where the phone says to get off. - Just ask the phone. This isn't for me anymore. Were you, did you do Disney a lot when you were doing Disney Land? - We did, yeah, 'cause that was like, you know, we lived in LA and my mom would like get the annual passes, I believe, were like pretty, pretty, really priced back in the day. And you could go as much as you wanted. So that would be like, that was often like our vacation. We would just go to Disneyland like once a month do a little day trip and then every like, every, like once a year we would stay at the Disneyland Hotel or the Grand de Californian Hotel, which we loved. - Okay. - But my mom had the whole thing like all locked down. Like we would get there and walk straight to space now and get your fast passes and then she had like, the whole thing all figured out and it was always, so we loved Disneyland as kids, it was, it was. - By the way, now that you're describing her, I'm kind of pro her having the maps open as well. - Yeah, no, she like has her methods. - Her methods have always worked for her. - Yeah. - But we weren't always sure why, you know, she'd be like, if anyone asks, we're staying here. What do you mean? And we're like going to like, and then I realized when I got out of my, oh, we were sneaking into the Disneyland pool to just, we weren't staying there. We would just sneak in swim and then go to Disneyland and then get out of it. - We're our family never. We were very like, I don't even think Josh, we never went anywhere, we weren't supposed to be. - Yeah, but they would, I would have to lie and say I was 12 occasionally to like do something. Like when we went white water rafting, I was like, we would lie up, we wouldn't like lie down to like save a buck. - Oh, you would lie up. - Well, just to, just for access, just otherwise. - Yeah, that's what I mean though. It was more like we want to do a thing that 11 year olds aren't allowed to do. Whereas like, I married into a family where they will, I mean, they will cut every corner. Like they are constantly, like the amount of stress I feel just because we immediately, everywhere we check in, we're living a lie. There's like, we have three more people that are supposed to be this like location. It's all just like, it'll work out. And I'm like, where does this confidence come from? - Yeah, there's part of me set that if I was with your in laws and we got kicked out of somewhere where we weren't supposed to be, I would just be so happy about it getting kicked out of there because I'd be like, yeah, 'cause we broke the rules. - Yeah. (laughing) - We deserved, we broke the rules, we deserved it. - Yeah, my wife just told us started the kids, which they loved, they were like, when she was little, she was like seven years old, and she had to go to the bathroom and they were in Italy, and her mom just walked her into a restaurant, which by the way, I would do with the kid too, and then took her in, and then when they came out, a waiter was yelled at them like the bathrooms for customers. And the kids are like, that's so mean, blah, blah, blah, and then I'm like, on my head, I'm like, it's also the bathroom for customers now. - Oh my goodness, the bathroom. - Yeah, say it on time. - Yeah, so there's on the side, what else are they supposed to do? It's not a public bathroom, but. - But it works, so I think she always has had her methods, and they've always, they've always worked for her. - Yeah, well, that's great. When people have their methods, you can't take it away from them. I'm very excited to see the hawk. When did you finish shooting it? - We finished January, we like took a little, we had like one day of, in January, where we shot at the TGL golf league in. - A hawk beach, and that was, that was cool. - How good a golfer are you? - In the show? - In the show. - In the show, I'm like really, really good. You know, I'm one of the battles. - So how, I guess my question is, how good do you have to be to be able to look really good in a show, with like obviously there's editing and body doubles, if they need, I'm guessing they didn't use that, but like, you gotta be a certain level of good. - Yeah, I mean, I, the second I booked it, I immediately was like, I need to get my swing. My swing needs to look good enough to be a professional golfer. And then we can have a swing double, and I was like, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I wanna be able to like look good enough that you don't need a double. - Yeah. - So I like to crammed a bunch of lessons in and completely changed my whole swing in like the four weeks leading up to the show. - And then when you went to Japan, they just brought in that swing double for three days and just like shot the shit out, right? - Exactly, I never told you. - But I'm like watching the show and I can't, I look really good. - It paid off. You're like, it paid off. - Really paid off, but no, I think you gotta know what you're doing. But then I like my swing completely changed and it started looking good, but there's that time period when you change your whole swing, you're going to be a little worse for a little bit. So that first month of shooting, I was not, not good, but the swing looked okay. But some of the hardest acting I've ever had to do is when I would line up and they're like, you're hitting a real ball, but they're like, even if you shank it, act like it goes straight. And I didn't realize how hard that would be, but like, as an actor, that was some of the hardest acting where I just like shank this ball and it just goes like into the bushes, but I'm just holding my follow through like, looking like so pleased with myself and not even letting a little bit of emotion cross your face of like, was really hard. I believe it. Yeah. Yeah. Did you grow up playing that? I've played that West Chester course and then there's that great like par three course in Venice. Penmore, yeah, penmore. I play that now because I play that. I play both of those with my dad all the time, but I didn't grow up, I didn't grow, I didn't golf until I was like 20, like in my 20s. Okay. I never even touched a golf club. Yeah. So it doesn't come naturally to me. There's not like golfing has never really come natural to me. Well, would that will make us all the more impressed when we see you play a very good golfer. Hey, thanks so much, man. It's really cool to talk to you. I've been a fan for a long time. Yeah. And before we let you go, Josh is going to hit you up with our speed round. All right. Okay. Here we go. You can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing adventurous or educational? Adventurous. What is your favorite means of transportation? Car or train. I'm going to say train. Okay. Very good. If you could take a vacation with any family, alive or dead, real or fictional other than your own family, what family would you like to take a vacation with? Probably the Flintstones. Great. Perfect. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be? Probably my brother. He's very resourceful and I feel like he could figure some stuff out. Yeah. What is your dream destination for a family vacation? That's tough. I mean, somewhere, maybe Sequoia, somewhere that has like activities where you can do stuff. All right. Very good. Seth has our final questions. Have you been to the Grand Canyon in Jimmy? I have. Yeah. I was a worth it. 100%. Yeah. Did you go with your family? I didn't go with my family. No, but I went to Lake Powell. It's like great. That's yeah. Yeah. The analogue canyon is part of Grand Canyon, I believe, right? Well, I don't know. You're good. Yeah. But not. I'm not going to I'm not going to I'm not going to canyon snob you here. I actually don't. I'm like just kind of going along with it because I feel like I'm going to catch a lot of heat from our listeners based on because I I'm personally kind of not a canyon guy and you know, yeah, I would I've definitely been it's definitely I would say worth it. All right. Good to know. And if you're going to catch a lot of heat for that, I'm going to catch a lot of heat from Vance. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, analogue canyon, I will say not not a national park, so I don't think it's in Grand Canyon. But this is a picture of it. And it's, I mean, it looks like I mean, it looks like a coyote roadrunner and coyote cartoon. I thought it went through. Like, I thought it went to a part of an analogue canyon that passed into Grand Canyon, but maybe I'm I mean, it could be upriver. Yeah, we'll we'll never know. There's no way to find out. There's no way. Your canyon heads list, let us know in the comments how wrong we were about all this. And Jimmy can't wait for the hawk and it's great to talk to you, meet you and I hope I see you in person soon. Yeah, great talking to you guys. Thanks, buddy. Take care. And the chips with the money is good. Here we go. At 14, move to Westchester. After spending his first years in Venice, asked if he was a good big bro. Really couldn't say, led by example. But his brother was used as a prop in video. If he didn't like it, it didn't show. Jimmy says he thought it was pretty cool. And he was willing to get in a box. So Jimmy could dunk on him shot in the neck. He was a good victim. Video cam. His brother was his stunt man. And they'd go to Sequoia. Lakeside family cam. But had neighbors who were bad. They even flew a family flag. They would yell "Baluga, Jimmy would get surly because they would yell every morning." It was just so early. They'd go to see Pluto. Love to go to Disneyland. Mom had the good plans. And they'd go to Carlo, Rado. The drive was a long way, but then they got an upgrade. They got a fricking CNN. Everyone was psyched. Was a Toyota minivan. But Dad would cross the median, and Mom would take over. Oh, make sure everything was fine, and they would stay away. Mom has no break. With a bucket of red vines.
