I had a really fun night last night. Oh, wow, what'd you do? Kenzie and I went to the season four premiere of Ted Lasso. Oh, fantastic, it was just great. It was such good times. It was at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, which is just a great building, great theater, and you got to see our buddies Jason Sidacus and Brendan Hunt watch the first two episodes, which are great, I'm so excited for the rest of the season, I can't talk about it because it hasn't come out yet, but really, really big laughs. Just that show, just that so much charm, and it's a real, real feel-good jam. That's fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. And then, like, good party afterwards, good people. Yeah, great night. That's great. I had a great weekend, I have three, a zinger from each of my kids. Oh, great. I'd like to share the zingers. Please. I don't even know the order to do it. Yeah. I mean, don't even put them in an order because then they'll think like, oh, was mine not the best. Addy, well, start with Addy, we were driving just me and her, and she said, we got very close to home and she said, can I unbuckle? And I said, no, honey, you can't unbuckle yet. And then it was quiet and she goes, daddy, dad, dad. Can I tell you something about bad words? And I said, yeah, what is it? And she said, when I said unbuckle, I was going to say, fuck all, but then I stopped myself. Great. Yeah. And a really, really nice use of the loophole there to get on credit. Yeah. You know, then axles, we were at a beach. And it was me and Axel and his friend of ours, older gentleman. He was like, hey, Axel, we were at their beach. And he's like, hey, if you go to the end of that dock, there's a slide where you can go right in the water. Would you like to do that? And Axel just kind of looked down and he goes, no, I think I'm just going to eat some ice cream and skedaddle. And I was like, skedaddle. Where? Where's he getting skedaddle from? I have no idea. And by the way, then you're like, where'd you learn skedaddle? He's like, huh? Yeah. Great. Great. That was fantastic. Ash though, maybe the kill shot. I'm driving with my father-in-law in shotgun and Ash in the back. And Tom, my father-in-law, who's going to get a lot of play in this episode because he's a dear friend of will for a day. Tom says, hey, Ash, did I ever tell you about the time me and my friend bought a pet turtle? And Ash says, yeah, you've told me, but I'm trying to fall asleep, so tell it again. So good. So good. Yeah. And then we did this charity event. But I think I told you about a charity event for this great organization in Martha's Vineyard called Harbor Homes, helping people, you know, with housing and security and their, you know, great group of people. And it was a bowling charity and I brought Ash with me. And basically, the plan was I was going to bowl a frame with 10 different groups of people. And I said, Ash, you know, we challenge anybody here. And we'll give an extra 100 bucks to the charity for everybody who can beat us. Best score wins. Me and Ash go into two best bowlers. And Ash, who's never bold of strike before, had two strikes. Oh, wow. And bumpers are just straight down. No bumpers. He even said, are they're bumpers? And I said, tonight's not the night for bumpers. Tonight's the night for us to, like, man up and see what we can do. And he was so proud of himself. Yeah. Also, he had this, I was very glad he said, this is what, so, like, so anytime. The other people win, we'll give a 100 bucks to Harbourhounds. And he goes, but we're going to give it all. He goes, we're going to give it all at the end, right? And I was like, yeah, yeah, we're going to give it all at the end. That's nice. And I was like, I like that. He didn't think he was going to, like, actually, like, call home with a profit. Right. Right, right, right. Because that kid does, like, money. Oh, he likes his money. But also, like, we walked out, he's like, we got to do more charitable stuff. I'm like, it's not always bowling. But we had a great time. And my, my son, a lot of people that we just mentioned, my son, my father-in-law, my other son, my daughter, they all are spending time with our guests today, Will Forte. Yeah. Because Will Forte is a very close to my family to the point that he is currently with them, even though I'm in New York City. Will Forte also talking about things that he's in. He's in the new Coyote versus Akmi film. Yes. We did get around to talking to about it. This is, this movie had an incredible journey where it was filmed and then it was shelved and everybody. It seemed as though it was never going to be seen. And then it finally got rescued and it's very, very exciting. The trailer's out now. It's, it's live action mixed with animation, John Cena, Will Forte, Tone Bell, Lana Condor. Yeah. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. And just hanging out with Will and Chatton with him also, a lot of fun. Two-time guest. Joins Jason Schwarzman is a two-time guest. Yeah. So enjoy, listen, and yeah. Thanks everybody. The last, Will, the last time you were on, like that morning you had called Tom Ash, Seth's father-in-law. And now you've really upped the ante by not just calling a father and love it, staying with him. Yeah. Yeah. I woke up this morning and nudged him on the shoulder. You guys were sharing a bed. You, you, it's a, you have been friends and let's just, I love this and I, I have no issue with this, but you have really, you've befriended my father-in-law. He is genuinely a friend of yours. Oh, yeah. He's a bud. We, so last night we got in yesterday and then we went to the beach with everybody, had a little pizza dinner last night. It was times the kids run around, wig is over, like it's, it's a, it's a full, we played football out on the backyard. Yeah. And then everyone went to bed and, and I went down to Tom's music room, your, your father-in-law. And we, he, we just watched videos for a long time. He was, it was very cute. I came down, he was watching a closer look. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. And, and then, and then we started chatting and then I was asking about the stuff he loves music-wise because he's a musician and, and just awesome, dude. And he was telling me about George Strait and I really had only heard of George Strait. So he just showed me a bunch of his favorite George Strait music videos and then we started watching Alan Jackson and then we watched some Toby Keast and just the highway man. It just, like we, hours and hours down there. My, my father-in-law watches YouTube more than anyone I know. Like, if he like watches YouTube, like the way we used to watch network television, like sometimes I feel like he just, like, whatever the next thing is, he'll just watch that. Yes. And, and again, you know, algorithm recommended, but he said to Alexa and I the other day, I can't remember what the band was, but it was something like, have you guys, uh, seen the documentary on the band Chicago? And I was like, the only way I would have seen that is if I walked in on you sleeping and it was on. Do you think he pays for an ad-free service on YouTube or is he still watching ads? I didn't catch any ads last night. Okay. That seems like he's to, he's Taylor, he's the audience to, uh, to buy the, the ad-free. Yeah. But don't put it by him. He picked us up from the airport. He has made us every meal, like, like, made pancakes for my kids this morning. Uh, uh, they've, Tom and Joanne have just been there. They're incredible. Yeah. I will be, uh, I will be arriving on Thursday night and let me tell you my prediction. I will definitely be taking a taxi. I will definitely be taking a taxi or an Uber. And I look forward to showing up at my house only to find out that other plans have been made and no one has told me and, uh, and I'll, and I'll be locked out by the way, Thursday night is karaoke night. I've been told. Oh, that's right. That's something else. That's something else that my father-in-law does. I mean, again, like, you're on a family trip right now and you're visiting my family. And, uh, and how's it going? I mean, you're having great time. I will sell you. I've gotten some reviews and I hope this will not offend you. Uh, both of my sons told me that your wife Olivia is better at football than you. True or false? False. They, they were pretty, I mean, they don't have a, they don't have a dog in this race. They just, she's good, but, but like, no, come on. Are you, uh, are you like dropping balls to, to give the advantage to the kids? Are you sort of losing on purpose? No, I try very hard, but, um, you know, this is a game of, of, you know, the, the age range, you know, you got a couple, uh, six-year-olds playing up to like, you know, people who are, you know, I don't know, high, high 60s. What, what's Thomas out there? What's, what's, he's more than high 60s. He's, oh, really? Yeah, he's, I think he's crossed into the age list. He knows, no, he knows he is. He is ageless. Yeah. My father-in-law is kind of ageless. Um, he's not just cool, dude. He is cool, dude. The reason he's so happy, I mean, my father-in-law is a big fan of mine. I do not feel like I, I receive a ton of support from my father-in-law and not in a million years. Would I end up in his basement watching Alan Jackson YouTube videos? And he knows that. And so in a way, you're doing me a huge service by showing up and being the son-in-law. I'm, I'm happy that at least he's getting the son-in-law he wanted via knowing me. So I'm like, all right. I, I took care of you, dog. I took care of you. The funniest thing now, it, tell me, do you think this is crazy? Because, you know, they're, all the wives are like, you didn't even text Seth to let him know. And I'm like, I, I knew I was going to see him. I just thought that he, I thought you knew. And also, my wife has been gone for two weeks. She was in New York. And so I was on solo dad duty. So I'm just scrambling to like, you know, take care of the kids. And, and so I just thought, oh, I'll, I'll see him. Yeah. Um, yeah. No, I mean, I think looking back, the fact that you visited my family without giving me a heads up. I mean, that's something to, I thought I, I, I'd reflect back on that a little. I thought you were in on these conversations. Like, I hear, like, you, I cannot tell you how out on conversation, half of the things I know about my family are because I overheard them. Okay. Like no one. Yeah. Sometimes I say to Alexa, I'm like, when was the last, Alexa, I'm like, when was the last time you turned and faced me before you said something? Because she's like, you, you, you, why do you mean you didn't hear me saying it? I'm like, when did you say it? And she's always like to Ariel. And I'm like, that's not me, lady. I'm like, I'm a different dude. I don't just get to like hear you and your sister aren't a TV like a talk radio station. I have on. And I'm like, listening to to get my news. But I'm glad you're there. Um, how, how do your girls, uh, you guys have been traveling a lot for work? Yes. Uh, how, first of all, how are your girls getting on with my boys on this family trip so far? They love your boys. And they, the girls have been a little off their sleep cycle because we're west coasters. So we're on the east coast. And so it was really cute. When we, we woke up a little late today and the, your kids came over. I think Addy and Axel came over because they wanted to play with, with our girls, but they were still asleep. So Tom wouldn't let them go up and wake them up. They really wanted to wake them up. So that's, it's cute. And they, and that was the other fun thing is we, it felt like we packed so much in the yesterday. And we didn't even get to the house to like one o'clock. We went to the beach. We came back and had a swim party. We played football. We did pizza. We'd, it was like so much stuff going on. And your dad was, you know, uh, teaching my daughter had a swim. It was like, he said, yeah, father, father. My dad, uh, yeah, Larry Myers. Do you do not want Larry Myers teaching your kid out of swim? Yeah. Well, you either. Um, I love the ocean. Um, will you are a second guest who has come back for a second episode of this Jason Schwartzman. And you are only sort of returning champions. Um, I want to talk about the elephant. I want to talk about the accent. Well, I listened to your episode this morning, uh, in preparation for this. And you really like, you went through a lot of trips. So I will be impressed if you can, uh, if you can add to this. But I am particular at the very end of the episode when Seth asked you about the Grand Canyon, you were like, Oh, yeah, I did a, like canoe trip through the Grand Canyon with like 20 family members. Yes. And so I particularly wanted to ask you about that trip because I feel like we only scratched the surface on that. So what, what was that? And was that how old were you? God, I feel like I would have been about 15 or 16. That was my dad's side of the family. And I'll tell you the main thing I remember about that was what we had to do with our folks like it was like, you know, expect nothing less from you. You know, you had to go in and dig holes and, and, and I don't even remember that much about that, but it was, it was beautiful. And, and the holes, the holes were, I mean, it's like, if it comes to a part of that, that's how these canyons were built. There's millions and millions of years of people digging their holes for their books. I had no idea the two were connected. That's fascinating. Yeah. Oh, wow. Did you have, I was at a trip that you liked where you, were you excited to go when you heard you were going to go to the Grand Canyon? Oh, yeah, I loved it. I loved it. And it's, and at the same time, I feel like I almost haven't been there. I think it was like the very southern part of the canyon. And it's just such a huge thing that I really want to go out and check out other aspects of the canyon, because I think it's really different in a bunch of places. Have you ever been, I went several years ago, the, the structure that's built that hangs out. It's like a walkway that you go out that's like the sky walker. Yeah, I have not been to that. And that was like a fully different experience where you're just terrified of the, of the drop. But yeah, I mean, the Grand Canyon, what, what an insane place. The very, the coolest thing. This trip was my dad's side of the family, which their east coast and my mom's side of the family is for the most part west coast. So, so my dad's side of the family, we just wouldn't spend as much time with. So that it was a really cool experience. And then the last couple of years, and we just did this a couple of years ago, we, we have like a special Forte family trip that's, that's now become an annual thing. And we just got back like, I don't know, 10 days ago from, from Colorado, we went to a shadow mountain lake. And this is dad's side. This is dad's side. So it's like that same group is the Colorado river rafting thing. Everybody's a lot older now. It's, you know, it was so fun. Saw bear. So really? Almost ran into a bear. Tell us what, tell us, all right. So, you see a bear. What does that even mean when you see a bear? Well, this was, I wasn't expecting. We were all coming out of dinner. I was walking with my kids to the car. The car was kind of a ways away. It's probably like 75 yards away. So we realized that my kids left their shoes back in the house. So I said, okay, hang on. I'm going to go back up to the house. So I'm searching around the house for about five minutes. And then I came out all alone in the pitch dark. And there is a bear right there. Within 10 feet of me. Didn't didn't even acknowledge me. Just kind of walked by. And it's, you don't, it wasn't necessarily scary. It was just so it happened so quickly. I was just like, I guess, I have to go inside. So I ran inside and it's told everybody who was out on the back porch. I'm like, there's a big bear who's kind of heading in this direction. You know, I don't know how hungry he is. And they all got up. And actually, everybody's inclination was to kind of try to see where the bear was like to go towards where the bear would be presumably walking. And that was, but it was, and then later two of the kids who were like these high school-aged kids went out and kind of tracked them down. And he was just going through the neighbor's garbage, hanging out. Did the high school-aged go track them down with permission or were they like, let's go find that bear. Let's not tell anybody where they're going to go find the bear. They had permission. And I think they're, that's their parents know a lot about wildlife. And and just, but I think these kids also know a lot about wildlife. So they they were, I they just sent me a picture. So I don't know how they went about it. But yeah, I think they did have permission. How many how many Forte show up for the Forte family or even Colorado? This was 36 people. Wow. Yeah. And how are there other where they're kids near your kids' ages? Or were they sort of the youngest of the bunch? A ton of kids their age. I mean, I'm an old dad, but then there were a lot of, you know, so mainly the kids that that were hanging out with my kids were grandkids. Sure. Instead of, yeah, just kids. But it was it was great. It was like kind of like the first year where I didn't have to every second. be looking around so it was really really fun. And you have a bunch of cabins or like a couple houses where you guys all stand. We have three separate, three separate big houses that we just create each crammed in like 12 people to each house and go around to a different house for for dinners, by the way that experience was very similar to this experience here where you know just a bunch of kids run around or kids are having a blast and they get exhausted and you can they just go right to bed when you put them in sleep. That's a very exciting. I feel like this is the that is definitely the first summer for me as well where I realize what is this feeling I'm having and then I realize oh I haven't been fully engaged with my children every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Like they're just kind of off-killed themselves when they're so young and helpless. Yeah, you just kind of are like oh I haven't been stressed out for the last 20 minutes and it's like oh right because they're over there and I know they're fine. Yeah and it's just the best feeling in the world. Did your girls play football yesterday? Were they involved or are they too little? They did not play football. What were they doing? All the kids were I we just kept hearing different shrieks and then you'd go and figure out what that shriek was. Who's the shrieker? What are they shrieking about? Usually it was just like just like people were shrieking because there were a bunch of kids around and things got very exciting. The shriek can be joy or pain or terror and you don't really know from the from the sound of it. You usually know it's not joy. Okay. Yeah. I would say that's the way that but it is funny how you cannot discern your child's shriek from another child's shriek. Certainly maybe maybe my dad ears and maybe your dad ears are the same but I will say that when I hear a kid yell I might that death mine and then I sometimes check and like Alexey is not the least bit bothered by it. Yeah. I think that my my youngest Cecilia is used like whenever I hear a shriek I'm like oh that's Cecilia. I'm pretty sure that's her but they're having a blast. They're like shrieks of joy.

You are you had a long we talked last time you were on late night about the time you spent in Australia was that did that feel like a vacation for your kids I mean I know you were working but did they enjoy themselves? They had a blast I you know I I'm so it'll be interesting to see as the years go on if they even realize they were in such a far away place that's you know because they you know they've heard different accents but I have a brother in law who's Australian so she's used to hearing Australian accents in California so so it it'll be they because of work I've had to my my older one's been to Ireland and to Italy and to Australia like she's been to way more places than I ever was when I was you know till I was in my 20s so so I I don't know how much of it she'll she'll remember but but it's been a lot of money. It's just got the password stamps to prove it yes did you I mean for all of it you know look again we have a lot of friends who are a very busy from our era at the show right they're all working a lot you seem to be as far as like the jobs you've had you seem to be in the most world traveler of all of us and do you love it or is it been a burden because again every place you've mentioned or places you've went because you're doing like just series in different countries yes I love it it it does start to shift you you start to have to think about how it affects the kids a little more as they're getting older and this is like this is going to be the first year where that stuff becomes something you got to think about a little more because our daughter is going into kindergarten and you know when it's pre-k you can kind of take them out whenever it's a it's an education in itself like going to a different place and but it's yeah now now we got to think about it a little more but yeah well I mean when I was single just that was the best thing getting it an opportunity to to live for a chunk of time in a totally different place and and to see what it's like to kind of live as a local for a while is the best is your preference to be sort of in a hotel and be set up for a while or do you like to get like an apartment or a house when you are somewhere for let's say a month or longer I would probably month or longer I would say definitely some kind of apartment or house okay just to because I don't like I don't like people coming in and and cleaning my stuff and like a nice dirty you are kind of a yeah I mean for for someone who's very particular you're also living a slob life well it's I've definitely gotten better about that but it's it's not even that I need things clean it's that I need things and not even orderly I just need them in my where they were right you need them where they were when you left right yeah there is like a method to my madness and only I know it and I feel everybody bad for everybody who is subjective to to my wrath we moved the the straws for your chill about it when the straws get moved it doesn't like shut you down for a full day right I'm so chill I actually did just get I finally went through the process of getting diagnosed for OCD because for years Olivia would say because I would always tell people oh yeah I'm OCD and she would say you're not you have not been diagnosed so that she felt like it was irresponsible to say that I'm like I'm telling you I'm I know it I know it and so I went and of course they're like oh yeah you're fully you're deep in there. you got it. I'm not at the most we've ever seen it. We'd love to put you on the cover of our new book. Yeah. Uh, that's very interesting because jaw, I'm sorry, not Josh, uh, Alexi is a non-diagnosed and it's like confidently, uh, we'll say she has OCD. I think she likes. Do you agree with her that she does? I do. Yeah. I really do. Yeah, I do too. I went to a culture. I went to see um, this doctor specialized in ADHD. So I, cause I thought the OCD is going to be a very easy thing for her to pick out. Why not see if I also have that? So like, I guess I have some elements of ADHD, but you know, I'm kind of light in some areas, heavier in some areas, but it's really OCD is the main, the main thing. Right. Yeah. Um, it's an exciting concussion of problems. I don't know if you have stories from this or not, but you, you sort of touched on these dude ranch trips that you did in the past. I don't know if you're, are you still doing that? Is that still an annual thing? No, this would have been back. God, we probably went from the time I was maybe seven or eight years old to about 14 or 15. Still. Gotcha. So great. And then I think they shut down the, the ranch. It was called the, it was called the, no, Boulder, Boulder River Ranch. And I think that whole area got bought up by a bunch of, you know, turned into private ranches. I feel like I got Tom Broca had something to do with it. I feel like, oh yeah, yeah. You didn't, you mentioned that last time, but you said it was sort of with your more hunting and fishing minded family members, uh, of which you were not really one of them and you were not, uh, skilled at fly fishing or anything like that. But we're, we're there also, I always think of dude ranches as being a horse based thing. Were you going out on rides or you, uh, yeah, we would go out experienced horsemen. Yeah. I, I, I felt, uh, pretty comfortable on a horse. I mean, most of the time, you're just going in a pack and you're walking, um, those horses, man, they're, it's, it's, uh, as a kid, you're not really thinking about it. But then the older I got, the more you just realized it's just a, it's just a big, huge thing that could trip just like a human being and, you know, I was, I was on that, I was on that as a kid. I, I'll tell you that from the very beginning, you horses. I was just like, no, thank you. And I've also just, not just a bit like, they're not there's like a trip, but they got their own brains. And I know somebody's like, we'll tell you, they've been trained, but a horse at any moment could be like, I'm out, you know, I saw a snake, and I'm not feeling good anymore. And I don't care that a kid's on top, man, I'm going to take off at a full speed. I have a story about a horse that this is, yes, this is exactly what you're saying. I went on a, it was a sunset cruise, sunset, it was a sunset horse ride, horse, cruise, sunset, horse, and do you know my friend, you guys both know Michael, Michael. Yeah, yeah, he, so he had no last name, no last name, no, I'll say it, Michael Thomas, wonderful guy, great fun guy. And it was his birthday. So he got, like, he had just had a back operation. He had had, like, several years was having back issues, finally had the operation that works. The doctor said it gives him like a list of four or five things that definitely not do horseback riding as one of them. He immediately gets together a horse, you know, sunset horse thing. So anyway, we're all going up. This is in Los Angeles. And I have this broken-down old horse. And he's got one that seems to be in pretty good shape because he's, you know, making it race up to the front and then he comes back to visit me because my horse is way lagging in the, in the background. And then at a certain point, after one of the times he came down to visit me, he starts, he says, I'm going to go back up and check out with the group. He starts taking off and then about 50 yards in front of me, his horse just stops, immediately stops. And it was very weird. And then the horse turns slowly to face the edge of the path, which was like this very steep hillside and just started slowly walking to the edge of the path, pauses for a second. And then the route itself over the side of the hill. And the last thing I saw was Michael had known enough to, like, get his feet out of the stirrups. And I saw him clear of the horse, but I just heard this. And the people eventually came back down the guide. And this horse, I guess, what happened was the horse was having a heart attack. This is what they think. So he just like wanted to end it and threw himself over the side. And it was so nuts. I remember with the radio down to the base and a couple of women from the camp had come up and everyone's crying. And they're all saying, blaze, blaze is dead. I'm sorry. I've been laughing at this, but keep going. I'm sorry. Now that I realized that this horse, there's something very just it seems like again, a horse having a human emotion of like, I'm not going to do this. Yeah, I'm out. Yeah. And, and I mean, I'm not going to say, I won't say this to Michael, but if he listens as he's got to know that I partially find him responsible for killing that horse. He was really trotting him up and down and waiting clearly. But blaze lived a good life. Blaze was a racehorse for a while. And, you know, I think he was kind of feel like they said he was like 23 or something, which is so so how would you say, and again, top of your head, how would you say in the end, he was shot down in a blaze of glory. Wow, I thought that was going to be a lot easier for you to grab. The best part was they they brought up a horse and we continued on to the and just kept going. And it was like we were making all these uncomfortable jokes. And then they had said like, we'll go get him in the morning. And then the end of the end of the ride, you go down to the camp again, or the little area research branch. The ranch and you have a barbecue. And you just heard all these coyotes howling out there and they were just having a feast. So maybe it came up to like get the reins and stuff. Well, part of me as a guy who's married to an equestrian, I feel like I want to defend horses in this moment. But I think those rides where you just sort of get get some rando horses that maybe just have to walk along the edge of these canyons. It's not always the best situation. Well, it's on my other side. I do like horses and I trust them. I just like, I see them as this doesn't make sense, but they're only human. Right. Did has Michael gotten on a horse since that moment? I mean, he's just on a horse again. He's one of those guys with just an attitude of like whatever, that was the one time thing. What was his? So his thought process was something's wrong with blaze. I'm gonna just like loosen my feet out of the stirrups just in case. Well, just like, you know, it was unnerving for me and I'm, you know, you know, 50 yards away. So for him, this thing is just going closer and closer to this. It's a very, it's not quite a cliff, but it's a very steep hillside where like this horse is clearly not doing what it's supposed to do and you're like, okay, this is, this is very weird. So yeah, I don't remember what his thought process was, but it was like, yeah, but already like, I mean, I, these are the canyons sort of right above my house. Yeah, you know, a mile away, maybe mile and a half to get up to where you were and they are very steep. And if you're on the edge of them, it is somewhat precarious. And also if you're on the edge of them on horseback, you're just that much higher up. So I can certainly see Michael's impulse to get those feet out of the stirrups and be like, I might have to get off this horse. Yes. And thank goodness he did. A lot of things I don't want to do if it means close to an edge of something. I mean, like post-Satano Italy is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but like to get there, you got to drive up those mountains and like, you're just so close to the edge. And I would never want to do it again. I just didn't, the whole ride. I was just, my heart was in my throat and I just wasn't worth it when I got to our little village. I was like, all this stuff, they got heart salami at the bottom of this mountain. I'm with you there. That is one of the most beautiful places. When people asking me my favorite place of the world, I'm lucky enough to have gotten to go there too. And man, it is the most charming place. Would it make you feel better if you were driving the car yourself? Probably. I will say at the time our dad was driving. And my fear always, and I said, this is why I won't go in a hot air balloon with my family, is that my dad would be like, when, as we went over the side of the cliff due to him, like, you know, driving badly, I would just hear my mom. Tom lay into him. That would be like the last thing I'd hear. Yeah, Ray. Larry. Didn't wait. Doesn't you guys call him Gary, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll have it right. Seth had it wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Gary and her. Thank you, Josh. Very good people. Excuse me. Thank you. Y'all. Yeah. Yeah. What I mean, you really last time you really went through the list. I'm not sure if you guys have any questions. I think at that point, I'm not positive if I would have the will to do this, but I think I would, you know, if I got 100,000, I would rip the thing off and, you know, the steps. He's in New Mexico and, I got to hang out with him, you know, in the, in the footprint of Macroober, which is very exciting. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

This is why you get to come back for a second visit. This was 1996. We flew to Nashville, I don't remember why Nashville, but we just rented a car and we knew that we were going to fly back home from Newark, New Jersey. So we rented a Corsica, remember it was a Corsica, a red Corsica, and we started in Nashville. And all we knew was we were going to Branson, Missouri. That was it. Okay. How long is that drive? Nashville, the Branson is what, that can't be that long. I don't remember, but it's not tremendously long. I remember we landed in Nashville, spent the night, went to Graceland in the morning, and then by that night we were in Branson, Missouri, and then spent the whole day the next day in Branson. Oh, I don't know if I've ever told you this story, did you? So in Branson, we don't know anything to do, we're just like, yeah, let's just do whatever, let's figure it out on the fly. So we did this thing called Walsing Waters, which is just these choreographed fountains inside this dank, mildewy room. And there's, some of the shows have live piano players and some, like the one we went to, just has piped in music and you're just seeing a bunch of water squirt around. So we did that. And then we went to this, I remember Kirby Van Birch and Philip Wilburn or something like that. It was a magician slash comedian show, which, Kirby Van Birch sounds like a sketch character that you wrote. This was all I remember is, and John does a much better impersonation, but he's, he clearly was from like, yeah, I think it seemed like he was maybe from Romania or something like that, but he would talk very slowly and he'd just kept saying red sat, he would do things with different colored sands, red sands from the Sahara, blue sands from the goby and just like. So John's very good at anyway, we do that show, what's his name one more time, Kirby Van Birch, I believe. Okay. Great. Okay. And then the final show, the night we weren't sure we were going to do, we're driving by, we see the Tony Orlando has a show as a theater and we ran up to the booth and said, Hey, what's is there still a show going on there like the show's about to start, we still have tickets. So so John buys us two tickets, we run in and the tickets are the second row. And it's like a pretty packed theater. It was made no sense. I have no idea. So anyway, we're watching Tony Orlando and John, I knew Tony Orlando pretty well. John, his parents were huge Tony Orlando fans, so he knew it really well. So he's singing along to all the songs so much so that Tony Orlando started like talking to us in between the numbers. And he would, you know, sorry, I was like, this one, I wrote this one before you guys are even more. And so we have this kind of dialogue going, then there's an intermission and we went up to the, we bought like these souvenir plates for this face on it and everyone's stopping us saying, you guys are doing great. Everyone is, we're the youngest people there by 30 years for sure. Um, anyway, the second half is just grows and grows until he's like singing and came down and has taken a picture with us as he's singing. And the very end of it is he gives this, um, just inspirational speech. Tony Orlando, just an amazing, wonderful, delightful person, gives us inspirational speech. We left there going, this is the best show we've ever seen. We have to write him a fan letter immediately. So we go out to the corsica and we're taking forever to write this letter because it's like, oh, that's too cheesy. Start over. Tony's going to think it's too cheesy. So we're going for so long that eventually this, his security guy comes out and says, what are you creeps doing out here? And we're like, oh, we're, we're writing a fan letter for Tony's like, oh, that's cool. Well, when you're done, give it to me, I'll give it to him. So we, we finally finished this letter, give it to this guy. And then we take off on our trip, and this is 96. So there's no cell phone. There's no nothing. And we're, and it's the first, you know, the day two of a two and a half week trip, we, we go around on this trip, finally fly home. And when we get home, each of us has a letter in our mailbox. What he wrote on the very back of the letter that we gave him, I guess that means he didn't want to keep the letter. No, but, but he wrote this just very sweet message back. And then, and one of us, we each got a letter. And it was the coolest thing had the pictures developed, cut to 2011 or 2012. I'm going to, Andy Sandberg asked me if I want to do a part in his movie with Adam Sandler, which was, of course, an immediate yes. And then I found out Tony Orlando was going to play. I think it was Sandler's boss. He was playing a role, or maybe his father and mother, he's playing a big supporting role in this movie. So I grabbed every, I still had the pictures. I still had the note that he gave me. I brought the souvenir plate. And I met him and I said, you're not going to believe this, told him this whole story that I just told you, and then showed him all these things. And we just became buds. And I even said, Psalm, and you got a frickin' fly out here, and so he came out and we still talked to Tony all the time, and we go out and visit him, go see his shows, and he's just a delight. He had said the last time we saw him like a year ago or so, maybe a year and a half ago. He was saying he was maybe going to retire, so I'm not sure if he has-- Does he still do his shows exclusively in Branson, or does he do him other places? No, he's-- last time we saw him, he was out in your Vegas, but I think he still lives in Branson. But I don't think he is still the youngest people there at a Tony Orlando show, even though you're in, like me in your 50s now. Yeah, probably. Yeah. I mean, somebody's bringing their kids. Who is the Tony Orlando of Branson now, which is-- you know what I mean? So when you saw him in '96, the normal Tony Orlando fan is what, and they're 60s then? Yeah, it feels like that's about right. Although it's so hard to judge, because when you're in your 20s, everybody seems like they're 60. Yeah. Like people who are 40, you'd probably think they're 60. But it did seem like, you know, a bunch of pretty old people. I mean, it's definitely a nicer ending that you and now friends with them. I was a little hopeful that you'd tell them that whole story. And he's like, look, I had somebody who wrote, returned my fan mail. Look, when I got-- when I got a letter from a couple of weirdos, I just gave that to Stephanie. She probably wrote back to you guys. No, he's-- What was his closer? Do you remember Tony Orlando's closer? He had a better question for Solomon. I don't remember what his closing was, but I feel like it might have been a cover of something. Right. I do remember, you know, a lot of the-- like, you know, Ty Yellow Rib-- he's such a great storyteller, too. So we tell the stories in between he'd be telling these stories of how the song came about. Just the story behind the song, he's just-- he's a delightful guy. And you are a lover. Do you still try-- would you travel-- No, I'm not a lover of Tony's. Oh, we are not lovers. He has got a delightful friend. And you told him Jerry and him, so there's-- I don't want them to get the idea that his lover. Thank you. You-- but you-- have you-- you'll travel for a concert. You love going to a concert. Oh, yeah. What are vacations-- I mean, can you remember a time you-- have you ever gone, like, overseas to see your favorite band? I have gone-- yes, I've gone to-- a lot of radio head shows overseas, Germany. It's all of them in Germany a couple times and a couple festivals. Yeah. I've done a lot of chat, let's see where else I saw-- again, radio head in London. Oh, I went to-- I went to Ireland. So my buddies and I were going to go see Ozzy Osborne in-- San Diego I think and then he got sick and he canceled his show so we saw that he was like eight months later or something like that gonna play a show in Ireland so we're like We had a we had another high school buddy who lived in Dublin So we said let's all go visit our friend and go see Ozzy out there as a makeup So we got out there and landed to the news that he also was sick for that one He didn't say we didn't try Have you ever traveled? Have you traveled? No, I've never I've never traveled for a concert I just remember from the very first time I met you realizing that you were a lot Work but your your life was a lot more concert centric than mine. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, I mean the The big one was getting to go to that led Zeppelin tribute for Ommett Irrigan out in London And that was during the writer's strike um Or sag strike whatever strike we had been Months and months being off of SNL and I was like the only person kind of praying for the strike to go on a little bit longer Oh, she were talking like oh oh eight oh nine well Saturday night this would have been oh eight either oh seven or oh eight when yeah whenever that strike was And I was like everyone was And I felt so guilty because I was like I just need it to go on for two more weeks because I knew Lauren would find jump right on a show and there's no way he was going to say yes Just go for the Zeppelin show and come back next week I have tickets. Um, I'm desperate to see a complete a total solar eclipse Like it's something that I really really want to see and there is a Bjork does this festival in Iceland And this august 12th she's going to be doing a DJ set at this festival during a total solar eclipse And I bought two tickets just with like the notion of if I can I would love to go And then we have a live show in Philadelphia that night. So I can't go um, but That was that was sort of wait. Can I ask is the festival called the Oto piece? Uh, it's called like Ecololia. Okay. We went I went with uh Pete hike and a bunch of guys out to a festival in Iceland that was like this tiny little island Westminster islands. I think it's called Okay, it was so fun. It was like this Festival music would be going deep into the night and it's And it's all like families like there'd be grandparents there and grandkids and it was so fun. It was so interesting Yeah, you mentioned Sorry. Yes, whenever whenever there's a solar eclipse Uh, you mentioned about Klein, uh, also a great writer of friend of ours uh, former us and I'll write her We were Josh and I were uh, with our wives in Iceland years ago before they were even our wives And where was that crazy hotel we went to posh? Do you remember the name of it? Oh, it was like on the snow on the smooths and flutes peninsula. Yeah, it was so far out of Reykjavik It was on the hotel Budeer. It's nice. Yeah, and just Cannot believe how far we were like it felt like we were on the edge of the earth Oh, closest. I've come to the edge of the earth and uh, if blaze was there, he would have jumped right off So We were there and we walked into the bar of this little hotel not even a big hotel and Klein was sitting there with Lucy She's independent and then but the best thing about it is Rob Klein the most Like just like the same heart rate no matter what's happening Like just the most even keeled never panicking Rob Klein and he just like I remember walked in he's like Hey, buddy. I'm like what? Hey, buddy Dude, this is do you know what the statistical improbabilities are of this moment right now? We're a we're the we're in on the tip of the earth and you're like oh A little friend Crazy Can I ask did you guys now this back when I was In Iceland we also did something very memorable and I may have even brought this up because this was a big part of a big Road trip for me a very memorable memorable part um the penis museum Oh, I don't we did not we missed the penis museum. Oh It really now they make it easy because back when back when we were there It was up at the very I think it was the northern part of the island in this kind of smaller place called Husavik And you just show up and it's like well, I guess I'll go to the It's either I'm not sure still if it's a whale penis museum with other animals or just A penis museum I feel like this is where I also want to say that knowing will I feel like you're the guy who like Definitely books a trip to see the penis museum but doesn't tell anybody and then you It's like let's go have to this cafe in this town and then you're like oh, that's we're here. What are we gonna do now? They got it's right across the other way and I just mentioned this penis museum Well, look I I will say that I was not the person who um Who did line this up, but I will say I hang out with a lot of very like-minded people What is the penis museum worth it? It's fascinating. I mean, it's it really is like Yeah puts puts penises in perspective You know really like genuinely right? I mean And You if you have not seen an elephant penis detached from an elephant You're missing out It is I like that you just where you are cutting off everybody's like yeah, dude. I've seen it. You're like detached All right, my bad my bad, I've seen it attack, but here's the good news You don't have to go up to Hussavik anymore to get to it. It's right in Reykjavik So you probably it would still be a trek for you guys if you go back to the Hotel good. Wow, but you're uh Hussavik the the Hussavik town council went to the uh state the the the federal government of Iceland It's like you got to move this museum. We're getting all these penis tourists We're not a big enough town to absorb all these So what was but was elephant like when you think back to the penis museum was elephant the one that has stayed with you the longest Yes, yeah, yeah, but there's also the whales see the the whales would be in in case in glass and like some kind of you know Water, formaldehyde situation, right, and it was really hard to Like the the elephant penis. Maybe uh, it must have been stuffed really retained What what's that? What you said it was really hard. I said that's what the female whale said I was a little late though. So can we slide it up in the edit? Yes, yes um But it's I think it was also just because it's you know it's kind of natural state is out exposed To the elements whereas a whale penis, you know thrives in the water and that's where they yeah do well there So they thought a little unfair They were like we can't just show it like loose in the land. That was never supposed to be like that. Yes Exactly Do you think that there might this might have been The subject of a documentary because there was at the time when we were there There was there was some talk that there was a human who was trying to be the first human penis in The museum and then but the person had not died yet So like yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like let's see and this other guy was like no, I want to be the first one So it's kind of like a race to see who died first or so, but there's a documentary I think that it might be called like the last member or so. I forget Oh, that's not bad. Yeah, yeah Maybe you and uh, maybe you and Tom Ash can watch that tonight. Yeah, yeah I'm curious if we're gonna do the speed round. I just want to sort of compare your answers to the last time and see See if you say the things So here we go. We'll go we'll do the speed round. You can only pick one of these is your ideal vacation relaxing adventurous or educational Education same That was a match. What is your favorite means of transportation? I mean car would be to a boat That's a match wow Yeah, I'm impressed 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 the solomans? Okay, last time it was your groundlings SNL family, but the solomans are great. Yeah And solomans part of that SNL family certainly If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be? One member of my family. I'm gonna go with my wife Yeah, I gotta say I gotta say kids. Oh, one member. Geez Well, my wife and I could make more kids, I guess Yeah Last time you said your wife, but then you also said maybe Cecilia because she was so young and that she would need she would need you That's that's true. She's Yeah, able to defend for herself now. I wish it had been an exact match last time you said your wife and then you're They're like, no, wait, I got to send my kids. Oh, no, me and my wife can make more kids. (laughing) Exactly the same. - Got process. - There's a new question we didn't have last time you were on here. What is a dream destination for a family vacation? - Tom and Joanne Asher's place. (laughing) So you're living the dream. - Live the dream. - This question is phrased differently than it was last time. He's cooking up burgers right now. - I can almost smell them. - Yeah. - You are from. - I think his burgers are a little fat. I'm gonna say it. - Really? - Well, you let me know 'cause I think, yeah, he like, they're too round for me. - Oh, yes. - I want a little more of a patty, any but doesn't real juicy. I think it's generational. I think his generation still thinks they're supposed to be like, I don't know, little steaks. - Whenever I think of the Beverly Hills cop thing where they're shooting the shit when they're the two cops are in the car, and he's putting the banana in the tail pocket. - Aren't they talking about like by the time the average human is this age. They've have, you know, 12 pounds of undigested, Ron, I always think of that whenever I think of been uncooked to something. - Sorry, continue with the speed round. - That's not a joy of burger. - You are from Lafayette, California, correct? - Yep. - Lafayette, if you had to get more families to come visit Lafayette, how would you sell that town? - It's just a delightful. It's so close to San Francisco, but far enough away, it's just like, you feel like you're a million miles away. It's not quite the city. It's just this electric town. I'm not doing a great job, am I? - Nobody's gonna go. - It's great. Look, last time you said not a great place to go visit, but a great place to grow up. - Yeah. - Great place to raise a family you said. So maybe that feels on brand. - You know, I guess it depends on who's staying with. Like, you know, a lot of places have become a great place to visit because of the people I'm staying with. - Yeah, this is why I'm so lucky right now because I get, this is a wonderful place to visit and I'm staying with a great family. - Yeah, it's a dream destination for you. - Could I jump in? I know I'm interrupting the speed round, Josh, but it is because it's a travel sketch, I think I'm allowed to say it. I just realized how you're in one of my favorite, I think you should leave sketches as an old man on a plane. Trying to get revenge, trying to get revenge on an adult who was a child ruined a trip of yours by crying on a plane. - Yes. - And I'm just, it's just dawning on me now because my boys are just on the cusp of appreciating good comedy. And the fact that you're spending time with them, obviously time I wish I was spending with them, but you're spending time with my boys. And I'm very, I think they're gonna love that sketch now. 'Cause I think that everything about that sketch is like makes sense to a kid. Should I play it for them and just wash them from the side? - I think so. - Did they really say that they thought my wife was a better football player than me? (laughing) - All right, last, oh, is it the last one? - No, I mean, now we're to you, Suf. - Oh yeah, we already did. - Yeah. - Have you been to the Grand Canyon, you have? Would you like to go back, yes? And most importantly, the thing you remember the most is that the Grand Canyon was starting 'cause people were digging holes to put their poop in. - Yeah, exactly. - Are you gonna be there when I get there? - Oh yeah, we're here till Saturday. - Great, okay, great. That's, I was very, I was worried that my friend was gonna visit my family and I was never gonna say that. - So I'll see you. - This is tough and valuable lesson to just not assume that anybody's ever telling anybody anything. - Yeah. - And I'm just gonna certainly not, never assume my family's telling me jack shit. - And by the way, Josh, where did I see, did I see you with the wax-a-hatchy concert? - With that wax-a-hatchy MJ Lenderman show at the Walt Disney concert hall. Just a beautiful show. - So good. - Yeah, with those two artists, Katie and MJ just going back and forth, just playing their stuff and then the other one singing "Beautiful Backup" and it was great. - Really? - That venue's incredible. And then, yeah, saw you, saw Solomon. - Yeah. - It was a real, bearable who's who? Yeah, always a pleasure to see you. - You two. - You two different. - Yeah. - I love you. I will see you in two days. - I will. - I will over for an hour. - Your shirts and your hat and your glasses washed. (laughing) - Thank you, Will. - My request is you have to, sometimes I show up in like the parties over.
