00:01Tonight, on a very special Thanksgiving episode
00:04of Late Night with Seth Meyers,
00:08Hillary, Larry, and Josh Meyers.
00:20And now, Seth Meyers.
00:23Good evening, everybody. I'm Seth Meyers.
00:26This is Late Night. We hope you're doing well.
00:28And now, if you don't mind,
00:29we're going to get to the news.
00:30First of all, Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
00:35If you're watching us on TV right now,
00:38that means you've had two plates of turkey and stuffing,
00:40watched three football games,
00:42and had a joint in the garage with your cousins,
00:45and you're still awake.
00:47I don't know how to break it to you,
00:49but you will never be president.
00:53Also, I realize we may have a lot of people watching
00:55who have never seen this show before
00:57because you're at your parents' house,
00:59and they either don't have any streaming services
01:01or the password is so long,
01:03it's easier to just watch network TV.
01:05So welcome!
01:10So happy to be with you.
01:11In a post on Truth Social yesterday,
01:13President Trump tested out new nicknames
01:15for a Trump Republican,
01:17including Tepublican and Tepublican,
01:20leading to a new diagnosis called Tementia.
01:27After the social media platform X unveiled a new feature
01:30that allows users to see where an account is based,
01:33researchers discovered that popular MAGA movement accounts
01:36that claim to be run by Americans
01:38are actually based outside of the U.S.,
01:40and popular Democratic accounts don't exist.
01:46According to the latest numbers,
01:47Thanksgiving gas prices are near their lowest level since 2020.
01:51Incidentally, Thanksgiving gas is probably
01:53why you're awake right now.
01:55Ugh.
01:59Ugh.
02:00I guess I'll put on late night.
02:03According to a new survey,
02:04nearly a quarter of Americans said that they have a signature dish
02:07that they're known for, and we all know what dad's is.
02:13Tomorrow's Black Friday,
02:14traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year.
02:16The second busiest shopping day of the year is,
02:18of course, Christmas Eve at 7-Eleven.
02:20Everybody's getting scratch-offs!
02:25Astronauts aboard the International Space Station
02:27were set to enjoy a special Thanksgiving meal,
02:30which will feature traditional dishes,
02:32as well as crab, salmon, and lobster.
02:34And somehow, their aunt will still show up
02:37with a weird casserole.
02:40Authorities in California are searching for a suspect
02:43who allegedly stole approximately 500 frozen turkeys,
02:47but I bet they'll find him when he calls
02:49the Butterball Hotline in an absolute panic.
02:52What do I do with all of these?!
02:56And finally, Arby's is offering
02:57two Thanksgiving-inspired sandwiches,
03:00the Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler
03:02and the Deep Fried Turkey Club.
03:04As for what you'll be thankful for this year,
03:06I'm guessing indoor plumbing?
03:09And that was a monologue, everybody!
03:13We've got a great show for you tonight.
03:15We love tradition here at Late Night.
03:17This year is no exception because Hillary, Larry,
03:20and Josh Myers are back in the building.
03:23My family will be joining us to celebrate Thanksgiving.
03:26But before we get to them, so last week,
03:28every year we do this, but last week,
03:30my kids came in to shoot their Halloween.
03:32Sorry, not their Halloween, their Christmas card photo.
03:34And they also, we shoot this little video
03:36where they dress up like turkeys every year.
03:38And it's always special, but this year,
03:40I did not warn my kids at all.
03:43And last minute, on their way out,
03:45we brought them down and we put mics on them.
03:47And I had them come out in front of our audience,
03:49and I interviewed them.
03:51And we're showing it for the first time now,
03:53so take a look.
03:54Hey, everybody.
03:55Our next guests are my three children.
03:57Please welcome to the show Ash Myers,
03:59Axel Myers, and Adelaide Myers.
04:10Hi.
04:26It's so nice to have you guys here.
04:29So, you guys came in today.
04:31What did you do since you got here?
04:33Axel, why don't you tell everybody?
04:35Took photos!
04:36You took pictures?
04:37We took our Christmas card picture.
04:39Ash, what did you guys dress up like this year?
04:41It's always a themed photo.
04:42Turkey!
04:43What?
04:44Turkey!
04:45A turkey?
04:46Yeah, we dressed up like turkeys.
04:47We were elf.
04:48From the movie Elf?
04:50And I was Elphabat!
04:52You were Elphabat?
04:53No, no.
04:54He wasn't.
04:55What?
04:56He wasn't.
04:57What were you?
04:58I was Elph.
04:59You were Elph.
05:00And what were you, Addy?
05:02Elphabat.
05:04And Ash, what were you?
05:06I was the narwhal.
05:08You were the narwhal from the movie Elf.
05:10What was, what was Addy really?
05:12She was like my girlfriend.
05:14Your girlfriend?
05:15Yes.
05:16Do you remember the movie?
05:17Uh-huh.
05:18She was?
05:19She was your girlfriend?
05:20I remember that tomato.
05:21You were what?
05:22Agnes was a tomato.
05:23Oh, okay.
05:24Got you.
05:25Your cousin Agnes was a tomato.
05:26That's great.
05:27You're right there.
05:33Well, that's so fun.
05:34Well, how did you guys...
05:35Did you get here in a car or a subway, Axel?
05:38Car.
05:39Got you.
05:40Subway.
05:41You took the subway?
05:42Addy.
05:43We came at different times.
05:44You came at different times?
05:45Addy, did you like the subway?
05:47Yeah, the subway smells like diarrhea.
05:59That's really good.
06:01Hey, this is so fun.
06:03Ash and Axel, will you tell everybody where you went last weekend?
06:08Pittsburgh!
06:09You went to Pittsburgh.
06:10And what did you do in Pittsburgh?
06:12We watched the Pittsburgh Steelers win!
06:14And they won! They won! They won! They won!
06:17But wait, there was one moment that was a happy moment for me
06:21that then became sort of a sad moment,
06:23which is the Steelers intercepted the ball, and I was watching.
06:26They ran it all the way back for a touchdown,
06:28and so I was watching. I was so excited.
06:29And then I turned back, and both of you were crying.
06:31So, Ash, why don't you tell me what happened first?
06:35So he smacked me in the face with his terrible towel?
06:38He was waving a towel, and he hit you in the face.
06:40And so what did you do?
06:41So then I punched him here.
06:42You punched him in the face.
06:43And then I! I! I! I!
06:46No, no, no!
06:53Addie, are your brothers silly?
06:56Yeah.
06:57Poop, poop!
06:59Addie, which brother is sweetest to you?
07:05And which brother is roughest to you?
07:08But, Addie, do you love your brothers?
07:14I love this one, but not that one.
07:21But, well, now, whose idea was it to have Addie?
07:24Who really wanted Addie?
07:26Yeah.
07:27Axel, do you want to just dance for a second?
07:29You feel like you want to dance for a second?
07:31Dance, though?
07:39Sometimes you can just tell when Axel wants to dance, can't you?
07:42Tell it!
07:44Do you guys have anything else exciting coming up you want to promote?
07:57Thanksgiving!
07:58Thanksgiving?
07:59Very good.
08:00No school!
08:01Alright, great.
08:02No school for a week!
08:03That's really exciting.
08:04What's your...
08:05Addie, what's your favorite thing to do in school?
08:09Draw!
08:10Draw.
08:11Axel, what's your favorite thing to do at school?
08:13Definitely not read or write.
08:15Okay.
08:16Ow!
08:17Great, so we have our two...
08:18And what about you, Ash?
08:19Read!
08:20Great.
08:21Alright, wait.
08:22Addie, you got to let him answer.
08:23You got to let him answer.
08:24Oh, wait.
08:25Addie, real quick.
08:26What's your favorite TV show?
08:27Peppa Pig.
08:28Alright.
08:29Addie, what's your favorite Peppa Pig episode?
08:32Grandma Pig loves his walkie-talkie!
08:35Wait, what happens in the episode?
08:37He doesn't leave his walkie-talkie.
08:40A walkie-talkie?
08:42Yeah.
08:43And then the parents tell the grandma to help Grandpa Pig.
08:55Got you.
08:56Okay, great.
08:57And now, I think, Axel, you want to dance one more time?
09:03Yeah!
09:14Alright, well, thank you guys so much for coming.
09:18It was great to see you.
09:20Anything else you want to say, Ash?
09:21Is my time over?
09:22It's running out, yeah.
09:24No!
09:25No!
09:26No!
09:27No!
09:28No!
09:29Wait, wait, wait.
09:30No!
09:31No!
09:32No!
09:33No!
09:34No!
09:35No!
09:36No!
09:41Ladies and gentlemen, this has been the Myers Children.
09:45Thank you so much.
09:47We'll be right back with more Late Night.
09:54And we will be right back with Hillary and Larry and Josh Myers.
09:59Thanks for being with us, everybody.
10:15Our next guests are three of my favorite people in the whole wide world.
10:26Please welcome back to the show for their 12th annual Thanksgiving Day appearance, Hillary,
10:30Larry, and Josh Myers, everybody!
10:45Welcome back, you guys!
10:58How are you?
10:59I don't know.
11:00We're great.
11:01Is that how you do it?
11:02Is this Axel's?
11:03Yeah, that's how Axel's is.
11:04Yeah.
11:05Axel fills up.
11:06We actually, a lot of...
11:07Alexi and I talked afterwards, and we were looking at it.
11:09And there really is...
11:10Everyone here is one of you.
11:12So, Axel's definitely you, Dad.
11:15Axel showed...
11:16The first time he was on the show, he was like,
11:17I was meant to be here.
11:18Yeah.
11:20I mean, everybody thinks Addie is you, Hurry.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Everybody sees her.
11:24Yep.
11:25And then, Poshy, you're just the one on the end trying to keep it all together.
11:27Yeah.
11:28Doing my best.
11:29Great appreciation for all your roles.
11:32Did you enjoy watching your grandkids?
11:34Yes, but I don't know.
11:35We've kind of become the B team now.
11:37Yeah.
11:38Yeah.
11:3912th.
11:40You think this might be your 12th and final year?
11:41I think it's looking very iffy.
11:43You're hearing footsteps from the nation's young.
11:45Yes.
11:46Yes, yes, yes.
11:47True.
11:48The next generation.
11:49It is the next generation.
11:50But you got to spend...
11:51We had a wonderful multi-generational trip, as mentioned, with the kids.
11:54We all went to Pittsburgh, the three of you, me and my boys.
11:57Did you enjoy your time in Pittsburgh with all of us?
12:00Oh, my gosh. It was one of the best.
12:02The boys kept saying it was a boys' weekend. My kids.
12:04But I was allowed. Why? What was the rule?
12:06My boys said... Do you remember what they said?
12:08Yeah, it was an old girl can be a boy.
12:11Yeah.
12:15They had run the numbers and they'd come up.
12:18It was very kind that they worked out an exemption for you to allow it to be a boys' weekend.
12:23I know, yeah.
12:24And Axel, to come to Pittsburgh, you have to come through a tunnel.
12:27You can't see the city at all.
12:29And as we got in through the tunnel, and there's the city right in front of you,
12:33and the stadium's over here.
12:35And Axel had never been there, looked around, and saw these bridges and everything,
12:39and he said, this is what I call Pittsburgh.
12:42Yeah.
12:44Never been there before.
12:45Never been there before.
12:46What's the name of that bridge?
12:48So, there was another thing, which is there's a tradition in Steelers games
12:53where, late in the game, they played a stick song, Renegade,
12:56and all the Steelers fans waved their towels.
12:58And it was, for me, I was getting teared up watching you taught Axel how to do it,
13:03and, Josh, you filmed from behind.
13:04And was that as good a moment for you as it was for me?
13:07It was great because, when they do it, the jumbotron goes black,
13:11and this is how you know it's coming on.
13:14And if you know that song, it starts out real slow.
13:16Oh, mama, you know, like that.
13:19You didn't know the next word.
13:20No.
13:21Yeah.
13:22And he seemed like 50-50 on mama.
13:26Well, she was sitting right there.
13:28So, and the people waved the towels very slowly,
13:32and then it breaks into, you know, the fast part of the song.
13:36And Axel had two towels, and he was waving them like his life.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Depending on...
13:43We actually have a video of it.
13:44It's, like, Axel, who is, of my three children,
13:46the most, like, a Muppet come to life.
13:49And there's a real Kermit energy
13:51as he almost immediately loses his balance.
13:54Let's take a look.
13:55He was okay.
14:10Yeah. I mean, he wouldn't be great at a single towel,
14:12but that he was...
14:13Yeah, two helped him keep his balance.
14:15Yeah.
14:16You actually, you witnessed the moment the kids talked about.
14:19Oh, when they fought.
14:20Yeah.
14:21It was a great moment for Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
14:24It was an interception, return for a touchdown.
14:26Took a long time.
14:27It was about a 70-yard return.
14:29As soon as it was intercepted, you popped up.
14:31Yeah.
14:32And you were thrilled.
14:33And you were on your feet.
14:34And you could see Axel, you know, was not great with these towels,
14:38and just really whipped Ash right in the face of it.
14:40Yeah.
14:41Who had no hesitation before punching him in the face.
14:44And then Axel took his two hands and was pushing Ash's head
14:48into the seat as hard as he could.
14:51And all the while, Seth was getting more and more excited
14:55because this play is developing,
14:56and it's going to be a touchdown for the Steelers.
14:58And when it ended, you turned with so much joy,
15:01and they were just both in tears.
15:03It was spectacular.
15:06I want to ask as well.
15:09We recorded an episode of our podcast, Family Trips,
15:12which is always lovely to do.
15:14We do an episode with you guys every year.
15:16The family episode is now available to listen to.
15:18The boys actually came and joined us for the podcast as well.
15:21Do you feel like...
15:22It must be nice to have the boys on the podcast,
15:24because unlike with Dad, you haven't heard all their stories.
15:27That's...
15:29It's very refreshing. Very refreshing.
15:32I notice you roll your eyes less when they're talking.
15:35That's right. That's right.
15:37Another thing that was very special this year is, Josh,
15:40we debuted it on this show during the pandemic.
15:43You have a fantastic Gavin Newsom impression.
15:46I do, yeah.
15:47Governor of California.
15:48And so it made sense you started doing it on Jimmy Kimmel.
15:50And Jimmy Kimmel came out here, did shows in Brooklyn,
15:53and we were lucky enough to be on stage together.
15:55There's our friend Jimmy Kimmel, you as Gavin Newsom,
15:58me as myself, in far too similar an outfit, I'm realizing now.
16:02Always check.
16:10Always check the art cards.
16:13You walked out that night, and people definitely, for a minute,
16:16thought you were the real Gavin Newsom.
16:18Yeah. And it was like that theater.
16:21He does a week of shows at BAM, the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
16:25And it's a 3,000-seat house, and it's three layers.
16:28And I didn't know. I had never been in that room.
16:30Yeah.
16:31And so when I went for rehearsal, I sort of had a gut check of,
16:34like, oh, this is a thing.
16:36Yeah.
16:37And I had to ride a low-rider city bike.
16:39You came out in a city bike and rode around in a circle
16:42and then jumped off, literally while it was moving,
16:45and walked out and delivered your first line.
16:46Now, Mom, be honest. Of your two boys,
16:48who would you have more confidence in riding a bike on stage?
16:52Oh, Seth, you have no sense of balance.
16:55It's not good.
16:57That's why almost my entire career has been sitting.
17:02Remember in Bermuda when we tried to rent scooters?
17:05I do, but I don't know if that...
17:08Did you clear this in the pre-interview?
17:12We did not talk about it.
17:14Do you want to tell people what happened
17:15when we tried to rent scooters?
17:16Well, the problem was you couldn't maneuver it
17:19around the park. There's laws.
17:21They make you drive it around the parking lot once.
17:23They do, yeah.
17:24And it was...
17:26You said, that's it. I'm on the back of Poshy's.
17:29Yeah, which was real fun. Real cool.
17:32We met a lot of hot ladies that trip.
17:36I should note, obviously, this was a long time ago.
17:39We were on vacation with our parents.
17:40I think we were 29 and 31.
17:44And your helmet never really went down on your head.
17:47It sort of stayed...
17:48I don't have... Headgear does not work well on me.
17:50Yeah.
17:51We do have a clip real quick.
17:52Here is Josh as Gavin Newsom with Jimmy Kimmel at BAM.
17:56L.A. and NYC, we're not so different, you guys.
17:59I mean, we both just want to be free to smoke weed
18:02while riding our electric scooters to a drag queen brunch.
18:06Now, Mom, have you enjoyed watching Josh as Governor Gavin Newsom?
18:13Very much so.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Yeah, they're like doubles.
18:16The only thing I'm a little concerned about is,
18:18I think Gavin Newsom could be the hope of the Democratic Party.
18:21Okay, gotcha. And so, what's your worry?
18:23Well, the talk about drugs and things like that.
18:26Whose drugs? Why is this...
18:28She thinks my impression might give people the impression.
18:31Oh, I see. You're worried that Josh
18:33is gonna bump him off the ticket. Yes.
18:36Yeah.
18:37So, if Josh takes his foot off the gas,
18:39we know you got to him.
18:42Yeah, I do have some influence on him.
18:44You have influence on Josh? Yes.
18:46How... Of the three of us,
18:47who do you have the most influence on?
18:49Probably Josh. Yeah.
18:51How about the least?
18:52How do you have the least influence on?
18:57Now, your Gavin Newsom impression
18:59maybe indirectly led to a new podcast you're doing.
19:02Yeah, I started doing Newsom,
19:04and then there's Visit California
19:06is the California Board of Tourism.
19:08They have a podcast that I was a guest on,
19:11and I guess I did a fine job, and they were like,
19:14would you want to host this podcast?
19:16So, I've taken over as the host of California Now,
19:18which is truly...
19:23And it is just a podcast, but they were also like,
19:26we're going to do three episodes on the road
19:29in the first season.
19:30So, the first one we did is on Route 66,
19:33which turns 100 years old next year.
19:35So, to celebrate the centennial, we went out on the road,
19:38and a good friend of mine, Alex Gorosh,
19:40is a great director and is so good and, like, had a drone,
19:43and had all his gear, and he's just a great director.
19:47And I feel like it looks great, and it's like,
19:49it's a full-on travel show.
19:50You've been doing some stuff with drones recently, right?
19:54Some, like, low...
19:55Some amateur drone-operating?
19:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:58How do you think you'd operate a drone?
20:00Not well.
20:02Just as an example, we were talking about...
20:06Joking about the...
20:08Oh, you don't like this?
20:09How do you think I felt when you brought up
20:10the Bermuda scooter?
20:13She was talking about our mental acuity
20:16all day yesterday, and then we...
20:18That's never a good sign if people talk about
20:20mental acuity all day.
20:22We were...
20:24So, she made a point about her mental acuity,
20:27and then we had to get out of a Tesla,
20:30and she couldn't do it.
20:33Yeah, the Uber driver had to come and let her out.
20:35So, mental acuity.
20:40Now, we actually have a clip here.
20:42Where were you on this one?
20:43This is your...
20:44Volcano?
20:45I'm in the Amboy Crater, which is in Amboy, California,
20:49which is a tiny town, population zero.
20:52Okay.
20:53I interviewed the owner of the town.
20:54It's got a famous sign at Roy's Motel & Cafe
20:57that's been at a lot of movies and music videos,
20:59and so right near there, a couple miles away,
21:02is this ancient 10,000-year-old volcano,
21:05and we got to hike on it.
21:06Let's take a look real quick.
21:07And it's just an otherworldly landscape,
21:09and it's really cool.
21:11Plus, you get to be on top of a volcano
21:14or inside of a volcano,
21:16which I had never done before just now,
21:18and I like it.
21:20I like it a lot.
21:21I just cannot tell you how happy I am
21:23you're the one hosting this podcast.
21:27I mean, if they said you have two choices,
21:29on top of or outside of a volcano.
21:31You want to go to a volcano, hurry?
21:35No.
21:37They erupt, and then you can fall down into them.
21:40Wow.
21:41And you say she has no mental acutes.
21:45She immediately came up with the two scariest things.
21:48Yeah, sharp as a tap.
21:51We have so much more to talk to you guys about.
21:54This is The Myers Family. We'll be right back.
22:01We're back with Hillary, Larry, and Josh Myers.
22:21Now, I would...
22:22Seth, Seth, Seth.
22:23I'm going to have to interrupt you right now, if I may.
22:25I know that to a lot of you at home,
22:27we might seem like an unnaturally happy family.
22:30But you should know that we're not unflappable.
22:32We have our frustrations, our foibles, our peccadillos.
22:36In short, we have a lot to complain about.
22:39Hold on.
22:40Are you guys setting up, like, a comedy segment right now?
22:43Maybe.
22:45Yeah, just, you know, we already do a segment on this show
22:48where I complain about things.
22:49It's called You Burnt.
22:51I can't say I'm familiar with that.
22:56Ooh, Seth, Seth.
22:58You smell that?
22:59No.
23:00Yeah, yeah, it's the delicious smell
23:02of a roasted turkey coming out of the oven,
23:04which can only mean one thing.
23:06It's time for You Brind!
23:17First up, streaming services.
23:20You know what I didn't factor for in my retirement planning?
23:24Spending an extra $40,000 a year for 12 different ways to watch Yellowstone.
23:29Also, streaming services.
23:32How do I go back and forth between you?
23:35The football game's on Amazon.
23:37The basketball game's on Peacock.
23:38And if I get taken back to the home screen one more time,
23:41and Roku's getting thrown out the window.
23:47Yeah!
23:48Yeah!
23:50Also, also, please tell me something.
23:53What is Tubi?
23:56What's on it and why do I even have it?
23:58We got it as another add-on to another streaming service.
24:03Well, which one?
24:04There's no way to know.
24:06Also, you already threw the Roku out the window.
24:09I-I miss normal TV, so streaming services.
24:14Yeah, Brian!
24:19Hey, audiences, singing along during Wicked.
24:22Can it!
24:24People didn't pay good money to hear someone else's awful singing voice.
24:30They paid good money to hear my voice asking important questions like,
24:35Who's that guy?
24:37Is that the same guy from before?
24:40Look, if I wanted to hear someone perform who peaked in high school,
24:44I'd just watch A Closer Look.
24:48Side, Brian, Seth.
24:51Audiences singing along during Wicked, you brined.
25:00Daylight savings time.
25:01Who came up with you?
25:02Dracula?
25:04The only people who like daylight savings are old-timers like my dad here,
25:08who finally feel normal eating dinner at 4.30.
25:13Yeah, it's one of life's small pleasures.
25:16Also, if we're setting back clocks, let's set them back all the way to 2011.
25:21Tell my smart-ass brother not to goad a reality star
25:23into running for president at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
25:26Daylight savings time.
25:27Daylight savings time.
25:28You brined.
25:29People getting in my way on Black Friday.
25:43Attention, New Hampshire shoppers.
25:47No one, and I mean no one, gets between me and my LeBuboos.
25:53Got it?
25:56Maybe I can bench somewhere around 150 to 130 on a great day.
26:02But on Black Friday, I could throw a Honda Civic into the sun.
26:06So people getting in my way on Black Friday.
26:10If you're standing between me and my LeBuboos, I will cut a bitch.
26:15I-I don't play. Daddy needs his LeBuboos.
26:26You're burned, Brian.
26:28One of those.
26:33Hey, raisins in the stuffing?
26:36You look like little turds.
26:41Anything else, Mom?
26:42No, that's it. You brined.
26:44People who unbutton their pants after Thanksgiving dinner.
26:54Hark, you vile cretins.
26:56Most pitiful heralds of defeat.
26:58What greater symbol of fallen grace exists than thee?
27:02This loosening of constraint.
27:04This quiet yielding to comfort's cruel seduction.
27:07Thou art the silent unfastening of man's undoing.
27:11What say you, mother?
27:13Shame! Shame! Shame!
27:15Shame!
27:16Once you stood proud, upright.
27:19Now you slump, pot-bellied and faithless.
27:23Behold the gut, engorged, bloated,
27:27straining against its cotton prison,
27:30gasping to be known.
27:32Joshua, continue my screed.
27:35And thus man becomes again what he has always been.
27:38A creature ruled by what?
27:40Feeble, slothful, pleading for mercy from the feast of his own making.
27:44Mother, proceed with your venomous tongue.
27:49People who unbutton their pants after Thanksgiving dinner.
27:52Ye imbeciles, depraved emancipators of the belly.
27:58Vile roots of surrender.
28:00Ye brine.
28:02You know, I'm still unbuttoning my pants after dinner.
28:23We know.
28:24Another one of life's small pleasures.
28:28And finally, tryptophan.
28:32Hey, tryptophan, if I wanted to fall asleep on Thanksgiving,
28:36I'd just watch Late Night with Seth Meyers.
28:39Wait, what?
28:41Seriously, tryptophan, people don't pay good money for a turkey
28:46so they can ingest melatonin.
28:48After all, they can watch human melatonin right here for free.
28:52Hey, I'm not cool.
28:54I don't have to invite you on the show every Thanksgiving.
28:57Oh, you think you're doing us a favor by having us on?
29:02It's Thanksgiving.
29:03It ain't like Chris Pratt's available.
29:06Every Thanksgiving, Hillary's like, not the again.
29:11Mom?
29:12Not the again.
29:15Josh?
29:16Don't look at me, man.
29:17Jimmy Kimmel.
29:18Now, that's a show.
29:20Especially the guy that they have on that does Gavin Newsom.
29:23Super, super funny.
29:25And Kimmel has that guy on regularly.
29:27Let me repeat, regularly.
29:30Not just once a year on a holiday.
29:32Love that guy that Kimmel has on.
29:35Josh, you're that guy.
29:37Namaste.
29:42Actually, you know what?
29:44On second thought, can I say something in Seth's defense?
29:47That would be nice.
29:48Thank you, Dad.
29:49Look, Seth might not be the most entertaining.
29:54Or the most handsomest.
29:59Or the funniest.
30:01Or the most interesting.
30:03Or the most charismatic.
30:05Or the smartest.
30:10But?
30:12What?
30:13I may not be all those things, but what?
30:17Oh, sorry.
30:18This trip to Finn is kicking in.
30:20Daddy's going night-night.
30:22Daddy's going night-night.
30:23I can't believe I have to put up with this.
30:25This has been Your Bride.
30:31Come on!
30:33Come on!
30:34More with my family after this.
30:52We're back with my family.
30:57One of the cool things I was lucky enough to do this year,
31:00separate trips.
31:01I brought Addy to see you guys.
31:02I brought Axel to see you guys.
31:04I think they're fascinated by Albert,
31:06your big Old English sheepdog,
31:08because obviously we had a very small dog.
31:10Here's Addy with Albert right there.
31:12She was just very happy to be.
31:14But Addy and you played hide-and-seek for about an hour.
31:17Yes.
31:18And it was interesting, because she's a bad hider,
31:22but then you were sort of hamstrung as a hider.
31:25Well, we only have so many places you can hide in our house.
31:28And we ran out of those in the first five to ten minutes.
31:32Yeah.
31:33So we had to create more spaces to hide.
31:35And it's difficult for me to hide in our house,
31:38because wherever I hide,
31:40that 80-pound sheepdog is right next to me,
31:43because he wants to be wherever I am.
31:46So it was not easy for me to hide.
31:49But she did a good job finding me.
31:50So you're saying, like, ultimately,
31:52even for a four-year-old girl,
31:53it's not that hard to find you.
31:55No, she found me.
31:58And I will say, like, you know, obviously, you know,
32:01men of your age, sometimes the vision can go.
32:03But you, I mean, you found her right away both times.
32:10Speaking of dogs, Dad, you were retired,
32:13and one of the things you're doing in retirement
32:15is throwing your efforts into charitable paths.
32:20Talk to us real quick about Delta Dogs.
32:22So I'm on the board of a thing I got interested.
32:25I've always loved dogs.
32:26And I'm on the board of a group that we rescue dogs
32:30from kill shelters and we bring them up to New Hampshire
32:32and train them and match them with military veterans
32:36suffering from PTSD.
32:43Some of the pairings here.
32:44So these are some of the veterans.
32:46And you can see we have women.
32:48We have the gentleman with the white beard
32:50is a veteran from Vietnam.
32:52And some of the others are veterans
32:55from more recent engagements,
32:57not all combat engagements necessarily.
32:59But the thing is that there's a lot of PTSD
33:04and a lot of veterans commit suicide.
33:07And dogs are an amazing therapy.
33:11And so we've had over 100 people go through the program.
33:15We've got 26 in now.
33:17Everybody's still alive.
33:19Everybody's thriving.
33:20And the dogs make a huge difference.
33:22Great.
33:23We're going to throw that up.
33:25We're going to throw up Delta Dogs.
33:26So do please visit the website.
33:28And obviously, it's a very special time
33:31for fundraising and giving.
33:33Anything you can do would be really special.
33:35And, you know, we were a little worried about you, Mom,
33:38when Dad retired.
33:39Because, you know, he was going to be around a lot more.
33:41Yeah, yeah.
33:42But it seems like you guys are doing really well.
33:45Aww.
33:47But what else is he doing in retirement
33:49other than Delta Dogs?
33:50Well, he's on his phone all the time playing games.
33:53What kind of games?
33:54Like, sort of word games.
33:55Word games.
33:56Yeah.
33:57Or sometimes he's just scrolling through
33:58doing God knows what.
33:59Yeah.
34:00And even when we watch TV,
34:02and even when we watch a foreign thing
34:04where he's got to read the captions,
34:06he's still scrolling through.
34:08I said, do you know anything that's going on here?
34:10Just a minute.
34:11Just a minute.
34:12Don't disturb me.
34:13I'm in the middle of something.
34:14Yeah.
34:15He's in the middle of nothing.
34:16It's nonsense.
34:17This is...
34:18I really like that we built him up
34:19with his charitable endeavors and you...
34:21The speed in which you took the air out of him.
34:23But doesn't he have an outdoor project as well?
34:26Oh, my gosh.
34:27Don't...
34:28Okay.
34:29It's called the meadow.
34:30The meadow.
34:31We're calling it his meadow.
34:32His meadow.
34:33So there was a period of time in New Hampshire
34:34where we were in a serious drought.
34:36Yep.
34:37It was, look, all the lawns were burnt out.
34:38They told you, don't water, don't water.
34:40He gets this bee in his bonnet to put in the front of our house.
34:44It's all just trees and big roots and pebbles.
34:47Yeah.
34:48He wants to turn it into a lawn.
34:49I said, have you lost your mind?
34:51He said, I want a meadow.
34:52Yeah.
34:53You can't...
34:54As you know...
34:55True story, Dad.
34:56Did you use the word meadow?
34:57No, but I saw something about lawns on my cell phone
34:59while I was scrolling.
35:00Oh.
35:01So it was bearing fruit, the scrolling.
35:03Yeah.
35:04So he says, it's not that expensive.
35:05So 400 bucks later, we get it laid down with seed.
35:08It's not that expensive.
35:09So he hauls out...
35:10400 bucks for a meadow in this economy?
35:12So he schleps out a little sprinkler.
35:16Okay.
35:17So twice a day, he turns on the water,
35:19and I get a listening...
35:21That's just turning on the water?
35:23No, that's the water going back and forth.
35:25Oh, okay.
35:26Yeah, that's sprinkler error.
35:28It was borrowed.
35:30I told him, don't be paying money for a sprinkler.
35:32We've already out...
35:33Yeah, you're already out 400 bucks.
35:35He had a $400 budget, and that was it.
35:37So anyhow...
35:38So he's got a borrowed sprinkler, a janky borrowed sprinkler.
35:42Yes.
35:43And then, all of a sudden, I keep telling him,
35:45Larry, there's a drought on.
35:47Yeah.
35:48He said, oh, don't be ridiculous.
35:49Don't be...
35:50If there was, I'd have read about it on my phone.
35:52I didn't see anything about a drought.
35:55So it's a Sunday.
35:57He tells me I'd like some ramen.
35:58This is one of the huge...
36:00Oh, my God.
36:01What a weird veering off this story is taking.
36:03Well, this is one of the...
36:04I find it hard to believe Sunday ramen ties into the meadow,
36:07but the floor is yours, my dear.
36:09Okay.
36:10So I have to put some water, you know, ramen.
36:12Yeah.
36:13Water is a key ingredient.
36:14Yeah.
36:15Without water, ramen, not worth the trouble.
36:16You don't have ramen.
36:17No, it's very crunchy.
36:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:19It's so dry without water.
36:20So, anyhow...
36:21So dry.
36:22I go to get the water, and guess what?
36:24There is no water.
36:25Oh, my God.
36:26He used the last bit of water for the meadow?
36:28The well's gone dry.
36:30Oh, my God.
36:31So you had to go out to the meadow and squeeze grass?
36:34He...
36:35So he admits to me.
36:37I said, well, this takes the cake.
36:39And he said, oh, don't be so concerned.
36:40I said, Larry, there's no water.
36:42Yeah.
36:43This is big.
36:44Uh-huh.
36:45So he said, you know, I saw, like, little pieces of dirt
36:47coming out of the sprinkler.
36:49I said, how does that happen?
36:50He said, well, I left the sprinkler on overnight.
36:53It was a technical mistake.
36:55It was just a technical mistake.
36:56You managed to sleep through...
36:58Yeah, yeah.
37:00Wow, unbelievable.
37:01They have a sound machine, and it does that.
37:03Okay, gotcha, yeah.
37:04So 3,500 bucks later...
37:06Oh, my God.
37:07Where did this money come from?
37:08Is that to fix the well?
37:09Yeah, to fix...
37:10To get a new pump thing in there.
37:12That's right.
37:13And the guy, the plumber said, I said,
37:14how would this happen?
37:15He said, well, was anybody leaving stub water on?
37:18Yeah, yeah.
37:20Yeah.
37:21So it's well in between now and Christmas.
37:23Did he walk in and go, there's a pretty lush meadow?
37:26Oh, he's very happy with this meadow.
37:28Who?
37:29You're happy with your meadow?
37:30Did it work out?
37:31The meadow...
37:32We're the envy of all of our friends.
37:34We're the envy of all of our friends.
37:36And I said, don't you ever...
37:38Don't walk in my meadow.
37:39Walk around.
37:40Walk around.
37:41Don't walk around.
37:42So I remember sending you a text describing all of this.
37:44Yeah.
37:45And I said, I don't know.
37:46Maybe it's just me.
37:47But is your father mental?
37:49Yeah.
37:50And I get one answer.
37:51Just remember the Tesla.
37:53Remember what I told you.
37:54I get one word answer from you.
37:56Mental.
37:57Yeah.
37:58Yeah.
38:01Well, I'm glad we reached that conclusion.
38:04You guys, we got a lot more.
38:05We'll be right back with Hillary, Larry, and Josh.
