00:05From 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York, it's Late Night with Seth Meyers.
00:12Tonight, Iowa Devery.
00:15Star of Widow's Bay, actor Matthew Rhys.
00:18Cooking with Sabrina Rudin.
00:25And now Seth Meyers.
00:28Good evening, everybody.
00:29I'm Seth Meyers.
00:30This is Late Night.
00:31We hope you're doing well.
00:31And now, if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news.
00:34First Lady Melania Trump announced last week that she will add a beehive to the White House honey program.
00:41And, oh, no, he found it.
00:45President Trump yesterday welcomed Britain's King Charles as he kicked off his state visit in honor of America's 250th anniversary,
00:53as well as the 280th anniversary of their hands.
01:07Sorry, I just know when I start the next joke, the picture changes.
01:11Sunday was First Lady Melania Trump's 56th birthday, and President Trump did not acknowledge the day on any of his
01:18personal social media accounts.
01:19Look, it was a crazy weekend.
01:21I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was too busy if he hadn't found
01:26time to congratulate Lee Greenwood on the birth of his grandchild.
01:32That's right, President Trump congratulated God bless the USA singer Lee Greenwood in a post over the weekend on Truth
01:38Social on the birth of his first grandchild 10 days ago.
01:41And apparently, the baby is already sick of that song.
01:46The pizza chain Little Caesars is partnered with the company Flytrex to offer drone delivery.
01:52And in a related story, Iran just surrendered.
01:59They would have been fine.
02:01Pizza if it was just pizza.
02:03But the fact that it was pizza pizza.
02:08A Missouri man was recently charged with sexual misconduct after he allegedly danced naked in the vestibule of an Aldi
02:15store.
02:16Or more likely, he was just stripping to raise money for groceries.
02:22The airline Emirates is reportedly developing first-class suites with private bathrooms.
02:27So if you've ever wanted to seat the reclines all the way, movies on demand, and your own bathroom,
02:31have you ever considered just staying home?
02:36That's right, the airline Emirates is reportedly developing first-class suites with private bathrooms,
02:41while Spirit has introduced an empty Gatorade bottle.
02:48Yesterday was Marine Mammal Rescue Day, but it's like I always say, who rescued who?
03:00You know what the hardest part about being a late-night talk show host is?
03:03It's just no one going to do you dirty in the picture.
03:10The music streaming platform Spotify announced last week that its most streamed album of all time,
03:16with more than 20 billion streams, is Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Tea.
03:21And if you're wondering what that trans...
03:25If you're wondering what that translates to, about 38 cents.
03:35Everything got slowed down because you all wanted to tell me how much you like Bad Bunny.
03:43And finally, Wendy's.
03:46Okay.
03:55Because internally, they're like, you know we're the Bad Bunny of fast food places.
04:01Finally, Wendy's began offering its spring menu yesterday, including a watermelon sparkling energy,
04:06which gives a bubbly energy boost.
04:08And then, to bring it back down, the Big Bacon Classic Triple.
04:11And that was the monologue, everybody!
04:14We've got a show for you tonight.
04:17You know her from hits like The Bear and Big Mouth.
04:20Films such as After the Hunt Bottom, she's starring on Broadway in Proof,
04:25now playing at the Booth Theater here in New York City.
04:28Iowa Demery is back on the show, everybody!
04:31Here she is.
04:33Shows like The Americans, The Beast and Me.
04:37She's currently starring in Widow's Bay, its fantastic careers, April 29th on Apple TV.
04:42Matthew Rhys is back on the show.
04:45She is founder of Spring Cafe and Spring Cafe Aspen.
04:50Her new cookbook, Healthy with a Side of Happy, is out today.
04:53Here to make some serious burritos, Sabrina Rudin is also joining us.
04:59Andy Serkis joined us on family trips.
05:02A fantastic conversation.
05:04Do give that a listen.
05:05I don't have to tell you guys these days, the news stinks.
05:08Every headline I see makes me feel worse than the last.
05:11Every once in a while, there's a story that makes me feel great.
05:14I'd like to share one now in a segment called
05:16The Kind of Story We Need Right Now.
05:23Everywhere you turn, there's an article telling you
05:25that we're in the middle of a health crisis.
05:2647% of adults have high blood pressure.
05:2950% of adults are obese.
05:30The Secretary of Health and Human Services
05:32looks like a walnut with googly eyes.
05:35But what can we do about it?
05:37You can go for a run.
05:38Or you can lift weights.
05:40Or you can do what a bunch of people in England did recently,
05:42and you can go for a run while lifting a weight,
05:45and that weight is your wife you are carrying.
05:48Where can you do that?
05:49At a wife-carrying race.
05:51That's right.
05:52This is a wife-carrying race,
05:54and it was held recently in Surrey, England.
05:56And if you're worried that wife and carrying
05:58means something else in British slang,
05:59don't.
06:01Because it is exactly what you think it is.
06:03It is a real thing,
06:04and it is the kind of story we need right now.
06:07Why?
06:07Because finally, someone made running interesting.
06:09Regular runners talk about,
06:10you know, they talk about dumb
06:12like heart rates and negative splits.
06:14Not these guys.
06:15They're thinking,
06:15if I lose my grip on my wife's ankles and drop her,
06:18I bet it's going to be a whole thing.
06:21Normal runners are fueled by,
06:23you know, those little gel packs.
06:24These guys are fueled by the knowledge
06:25that if they drop their wives,
06:27they'll never win another argument
06:28as long as they live.
06:29So that's it, you're thinking?
06:31They just pick up their wives
06:32and run around what?
06:33A track a couple of times?
06:34Of course not.
06:35A track would be way too easy.
06:36They run a cross-country obstacle course
06:39with their wives on their backs.
06:41These men run up and down hills.
06:45They jump over hay bales.
06:47They even have buckets of water thrown at them.
06:51This is the kind of story we need right now.
06:54Couples face obstacles.
06:56Yeah, give it up to these lunatics.
07:01Couples face obstacles all the time,
07:03but most of those obstacles are boring,
07:05like financial stress or infidelity.
07:07These obstacles are fun.
07:09Also, once you've made it through these obstacles together,
07:11every other obstacle will seem easy.
07:13If your wife says,
07:14we're going to be late on the mortgage payment this month,
07:16you can say, well, that's tough,
07:17but not as tough as the time I carried you upside down
07:20through a meadow while getting pelted with ice water.
07:24Now, you may be thinking,
07:25this sounds like total chaos,
07:26but it's not because like any race,
07:27wife carrying is governed by a strict set of rules,
07:31extremely normal rules that I'm about to tell you.
07:33And all of these are completely real.
07:35Like rule number one, wives must weigh in.
07:38Rule number two, all wives must wear a helmet.
07:42And rule number three,
07:44you don't have to carry your own wife.
07:46Oh, oh, what's that?
07:48Did a few husbands' ears perk up?
07:53Did a few gentlemen who had tuned out
07:56due to not wanting to carry their wife
07:57suddenly re-engage with the proposition?
08:01Oh, I wouldn't mind carrying another man's wife.
08:03It's not adultery, it's cardio.
08:07But the most important rule in the wife-carrying race
08:09is that you have to carry a wife
08:11using one of the official recognized holds.
08:13These include the fireman's carry,
08:15classic, masculine,
08:17the bridal carry for your more romantic wife carrier,
08:20the dorking hold,
08:21which I assume is when you carry an invisible wife
08:23because no real woman would marry you, you dork.
08:28And, of course, the most popular hold,
08:30the one used by all the winners,
08:32is the Estonian hold.
08:33Look at the Estonian hold.
08:36Not only is that an unappealing position for two humans,
08:39it also makes you reconsider your trip to Estonia.
08:44We don't have Uber and Talon,
08:46but Hugo here can get your wife to a hotel.
08:50You will walk.
08:52You will walk.
08:56It's also an unappealing name.
08:58Estonian hold sounds like a euphemism
09:00for a very cold hug.
09:02How'd your date go?
09:03Not great.
09:04She gave me the old Estonian hold.
09:07That looks like an incredibly vulnerable
09:09and awkward way for a woman to be carried
09:11through an obstacle course.
09:12Can you imagine if they also got interviewed
09:14by reporters in that position?
09:15Oh, what's that?
09:15They did.
09:16How comfortable is that for you?
09:18Super comfortable.
09:19And what's it like, your view from down there?
09:23Interesting.
09:24So what's it like down there?
09:26Is it comfortable?
09:29Not at all.
09:30Those women are really in love,
09:32and you know that because there's no other way
09:34they'd put their noses that close to a man's butt.
09:37So after all this hard work,
09:39after the running, the jumping, the buckets of water,
09:41what do the winners of the wife-carrying race get?
09:42A ribbon? A trophy?
09:43No.
09:43They get something way more practical.
09:45A barrel of ale!
09:48This is the kind of story we need right now.
09:50What better way to celebrate your victory
09:51and also forget that you just paraded your wife
09:53or another man's wife ass up
09:55in front of all your neighbors?
09:57Normally, when people run a race,
09:58all they get is a crappy foil blanket
10:00or a shirt with a disease on it.
10:02Not these people.
10:03These people can get a prize they can actually use.
10:06And in the case of this woman,
10:07one they have truly earned.
10:11Looks like someone finished the race
10:13in 69th place.
10:14Marriage can be hard.
10:17And after years together,
10:19couples can fall into a rut.
10:21The wife-carrying race may be silly,
10:23but it's also an opportunity for couples
10:25to break out of their routine
10:26and have a unique experience together.
10:28It's inspiring.
10:28It's uplifting.
10:30It's...
10:30What's the word I'm looking for?
10:32Interesting.
10:34That's it.
10:34This has been The Kind of Story We Need Right Now.
10:41We'll be right back with I.O. Debris.
11:04We'll be right back with I.O. Debris.
11:07Which is playing now at the Booth Theater.
11:09Please welcome back to the show
11:10our friend I.O. Debris, everybody!
11:24Hello!
11:26How are you?
11:28I'm well.
11:28How are you?
11:29I'm wonderful.
11:30You know, last time you were here,
11:31it was October,
11:31and we were talking about you doing this show.
11:33And, you know, you're a star, obviously, of, you know, screen,
11:37both the big and...
11:38And we were just worried, like,
11:39would Broadway change you?
11:41Would Broadway change me?
11:43That was the fear, yeah.
11:45I...
11:45Excuse me.
11:46I'm sorry.
11:46Hi, thank you.
11:47Thank you so much.
11:51It's really good for the first time that I...
11:54You don't have, like, a coaster or anything, right?
11:56No?
11:57No, because you assured us you hadn't changed,
11:59so we didn't take...
12:00So you didn't bring out the coasters.
12:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:02Okay.
12:02If you'd told us I'm different now,
12:03we would have had a coaster.
12:05Oh, my God.
12:05By the way, did you know it would match your look?
12:09I just really wanted a Shirley Temple.
12:12It's a fantastic outfit.
12:14Thank you so much.
12:15Yeah, and thank you.
12:16Yeah.
12:16For giving me the platform for this outfit.
12:18Yeah.
12:18I really appreciate that.
12:19We want a platform, new and exciting outfits.
12:22You know, I appreciate that,
12:23the way that you make space for outfits.
12:25Yeah.
12:26In late night, in the world.
12:27Yeah.
12:28A lot of people try to make space for voices, not me.
12:30No.
12:32Outfits.
12:32There's so many, by the way.
12:34There's so many voices.
12:36How many outfits?
12:36Not as many outfits.
12:37Two, three.
12:38Yeah.
12:39And then once we cycle through them,
12:41then I'll get to the voices.
12:42But only after I see all the outfits.
12:44Specifically these ones.
12:45Yeah.
12:46How is it going?
12:46It's you and Don Cheadle,
12:47which is fantastic news.
12:50Incredible actor.
12:52I mean, look, not unlike a lot of us,
12:55but you've been a fan of Don's for a long time.
12:57Yes, for a bit of time.
12:59But maybe more intensely a fan of him than, say, I am.
13:02Well, intense is such a strong choice of word.
13:06I may or may not have a Cheeto-related tattoo on my body.
13:11Okay.
13:12Maybe.
13:12And, but, well, also a mask.
13:14His face on my back.
13:15Big.
13:17Photorealistic.
13:18With a quote?
13:19Yeah.
13:20Okay.
13:20Keep dreaming.
13:21No.
13:22It's a quote from Ocean's Eleven.
13:27Make some noise for that film.
13:30Yeah.
13:33Making people applaud for Ocean's Eleven.
13:36But it's a quote.
13:38He plays a character named Basher Tarr.
13:40Yeah.
13:41And one of my best friends, who is also a black woman,
13:44we met at NYU, and we both were like,
13:45we're obsessed with this movie.
13:47We're obsessed with Don Cheadle.
13:48Wouldn't it be so funny if we got him saying
13:50Barney Rubble Trouble on our bodies forever?
13:54And did you, I assume when you get a matching tattoo,
13:56you do it on the same day?
13:57Yes.
13:58Because you want the artist to, like...
13:59Stay in the zone.
14:00Yeah, exactly.
14:01Don't lose focus.
14:02Are they, do you feel like they're more hesitant
14:04or more excited when people come in and go,
14:06we want matching tattoos?
14:08Like, I feel like they must...
14:09Feels 50-50.
14:10Yeah, right.
14:10Feels like it's close.
14:11Yeah.
14:12Also, I would think it's very important
14:13to get a tattoo in the middle of the day
14:15so they don't think that, like,
14:16you're making a bad choice based on, like, alcohol.
14:183 p.m. tattoo.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Yeah.
14:20The 3 p.m.ers, they must be so happy
14:22when they walk in.
14:22Well, it's like you want it in the same window
14:23as a doctor's appointment.
14:25Right.
14:25Just to have an air of...
14:26You're right.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Like, if you're like,
14:28when did...
14:29If you're like,
14:29my doctor says it's bad,
14:30you're like,
14:30when did you go?
14:31You're like, 1 a.m.
14:33Oh, get a second opinion.
14:34You need a second opinion.
14:35You need a second opinion.
14:37This is a very famous play.
14:39Yes.
14:39And Tommy Kail's directing.
14:40Yes, he is.
14:41He's a very accomplished director.
14:42And you also have some very impressive producers
14:45on this Broadway show.
14:46Yes.
14:47We have a photo of them.
14:48And for those who don't know Broadway producers,
14:50you might have to explain who they are.
14:51Sure.
14:52Not everybody here is like,
14:53you know, Broadway.
14:53No, no, no, it's okay.
14:54Yeah.
14:54So, this is Michelle and Barack Obama.
15:02And they've done a few things.
15:04They're up and coming.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Did Michelle consent to the hug you're giving her?
15:08Because that is aggressive.
15:09Okay.
15:10That's an aggressive hug.
15:11Okay.
15:11I give a good hug.
15:13I give a good hug.
15:14Yeah, well, I'm excited.
15:16That's really cool.
15:17She was the first lady,
15:18and she's really nice.
15:19And in their role of producers,
15:22I'm assuming they're sort of,
15:23I don't want to mean passive as if they don't care,
15:25but I'm assuming they just come and tell you,
15:26you did a great day.
15:27They don't give notes.
15:28They're every day giving me notes.
15:29It's really cruel.
15:30That's, yeah.
15:31Yeah, no, but they've been so lovely and helpful.
15:34It is such a nice hug.
15:36Yeah, it's really good.
15:37I don't think I have even photos where I'm hugging.
15:39By the way, I'm glad we have one
15:40where she's hugging back a little bit more.
15:42Like, I feel like it was a little unfair
15:44just to be like this one.
15:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:46This is like an attack,
15:48and this is...
15:50Again, the word choice with you tonight.
15:53We'll circle back later.
15:55Yeah, but they've been so supportive and cool,
15:58and I think for a lot of reasons,
16:00the story really connected with them.
16:02There's a lot of questions this play asked about,
16:03you know, like, genius.
16:04What does genius look like?
16:05What does legacy look like?
16:07Which I think for them,
16:09especially as literally our first black president.
16:13That is like a question that is on his mind
16:15and their minds and the Chicago connection.
16:19So it's been really fun.
16:20You and Don are doing a very cool thing as well.
16:24Did you start this program,
16:26or are you using this program,
16:27but it's about accessible tickets?
16:28Well, we just wanted that to be a really...
16:30This is massive.
16:31This Shirley Temple is so tall.
16:33Yeah.
16:34But we both, I think,
16:36have benefited in our lives from access to the arts,
16:39and, you know,
16:41we are living in a time
16:42where I think there's a lot of other conversation,
16:45a lot of noise.
16:46People might not consider that a priority,
16:47but I know that that's changed my life.
16:50That's changed the lives of friends that I have
16:51who aren't even in the arts.
16:53My parents are not in the arts,
16:55but I know they love, you know,
16:56seeing theaters, seeing shows, seeing comedy.
16:58And so we have a few different affordable,
17:02accessible ticket initiatives,
17:03and we also partner with the Department of Education.
17:06So right now, the number is 500,
17:08but if any rich people watch this
17:10and they want to give any more money,
17:12we can get more,
17:12but 500 students and teachers
17:15will be able to see the show for free.
17:17That's great.
17:17And we also have, like, a student rush,
17:19as well as our in-person rush
17:21and our digital rush and lottery.
17:23So we've got a lot of different programs.
17:24You can check them out on our website.
17:26I also know you had parents, like,
17:30I have parents, which is,
17:31we grew up in New England.
17:32Nigerian?
17:32Yes, I have two...
17:33In Beijing?
17:34Have I never brought that up?
17:35That makes sense.
17:37That I have Nigerian parents?
17:38Yeah, my admires.
17:39I'm hearing it now.
17:39Okay, yeah.
17:42But they wanted to bring us to New York.
17:45I mean, we were Boston people,
17:46New England people, I should say.
17:47You're more Boston than me.
17:48But come down here.
17:50But you used to take the now infamous,
17:52the dearly departed,
17:53the feng...
17:54The feng hua bus.
17:55The feng hua bus.
17:55Rest in power.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Yes.
17:57So, for those who never experienced,
18:00explain the unique journey
18:02that is provided by a feng hua bus.
18:04Imagine this.
18:05Open your eyes.
18:07Close them.
18:09Now, open your mental eye, right?
18:11You are in a bus depot
18:13in the depths of Boston, Chinatown.
18:18You get the opportunity
18:20to take a $10 to $15 bus
18:22that will take you to New York
18:23in under four hours,
18:25sometimes three.
18:26It's like the Concord of buses.
18:29Yeah.
18:29This thing's going on 100 miles.
18:31Big bus, too.
18:32Not a small bus.
18:32Big old bus.
18:34Yeah.
18:34100 miles an hour on the speedway.
18:36Sometimes catching fire.
18:37Don't sit in the back.
18:39Yeah.
18:39Don't sit in the front.
18:40You will hit things,
18:41and things will hit you.
18:42The bus might explode.
18:44That's not your business.
18:45Your business is getting to New York.
18:48And then you do.
18:49And it was really...
18:50You're not joking
18:51when you say it's like $10, $15.
18:53Yes.
18:53Yeah.
18:54$10, $15 to get on a bus
18:55that would take you to another state.
18:57Sometimes it would break down in Connecticut.
18:58Yeah.
18:58You end up at, like,
19:00at an IHOP or a...
19:02Yeah, you know,
19:02I've heard tale of, like,
19:04it breaks down,
19:05and then, like, an hour later,
19:06they're like,
19:06there's no bus.
19:07Yeah.
19:08Yeah, this one's not...
19:09It's never going to get fixed.
19:10And then you get a bindle
19:11and a plucky dog
19:12and another band of fellow orphans,
19:14and you start a new life
19:16in Connecticut
19:16or upstate New York.
19:18You just figure it out.
19:19Yeah.
19:20Yeah.
19:20They're like,
19:20they're like,
19:21we have good news and bad news.
19:22The bad news is the bus broke down.
19:24The good news is you live here now.
19:26This is your home.
19:27It's like a Twin Peaks style.
19:30They're like,
19:31you were on the fungwa bus,
19:32you needed a fresh start.
19:35And we needed a mayor.
19:40Well, when we write this screenplay,
19:42we do it together.
19:42We do it together.
19:43Obviously.
19:44Do you ever...
19:45I mean, buses can be,
19:47obviously,
19:47as you've just described.
19:49I mean,
19:50but do you take the New York bus ever?
19:52I haven't taken the New York bus
19:54in a long time.
19:54There's ghosts on the New York
19:56public transit for me,
19:58especially the bus.
19:59The bus out here is hard.
20:01I will full snob and say
20:03never took the bus
20:05until I had kids.
20:06And now in the last few years,
20:07like sometimes you just pick them up
20:09at school and you're like,
20:09the bus is our best.
20:10And yeah,
20:11and I will say,
20:13I don't know,
20:15no shade on the bus.
20:16It's very,
20:16it still gets the job done.
20:17Yeah,
20:18that's important.
20:19That's important.
20:19And then also like just
20:21my kids are...
20:21Yeah,
20:22give it up for the bus.
20:23Okay, yeah.
20:25Heartbreaking.
20:26Heartbreaking
20:27that the New York bus
20:28got more applause
20:28than Ocean's 11.
20:29Than Ocean's 11.
20:30It really makes you think.
20:31Yeah,
20:31it really makes you think.
20:32What time are we living in?
20:34That's Mom Donnie's New York
20:36is now the New York City bus.
20:37That is Mom Donnie's New York.
20:38The bus.
20:38The time for the bus.

21:00They're healthy.
21:01They're in sync with each other.
21:02It's wonderful.
21:04Jason coming back,
21:05I'm very happy about.
21:06And I,
21:07I think the last time,
21:09or the last,
21:09yeah,
21:09the championship,
21:10I had to get on a plane.
21:12Yes.
21:12And I watched that game
21:14in tears on the plane
21:16that I couldn't be,
21:17somebody said,
21:18aw, well.
21:20Aw.
21:21But I was so sad
21:22that I like,
21:23couldn't be there
21:24and I couldn't make it
21:25and so I'm like,
21:26I don't know how.
21:27So you,
21:28hopefully this time
21:29you'll air travel.
21:31You'll just schedule
21:31your air travel
21:32a little bit better.
21:33Yeah, while I'm also like
21:33in a show on Broadway
21:34that I can't miss.
21:35That's true.
21:36We know where you'll be.
21:37We know where you'll be.
21:38So then they can come down here
21:39and do the parade.
21:41That'll be nice.
21:42You think they'll do the parade
21:42for the Celtics here?
21:43If I ask really politely,
21:45yeah, maybe.
21:46Um, congrats on the show
21:47and thanks for being here.
21:48It's always a lovely show.
21:49Thanks for having me.
21:50I would agree.
21:51Everybody,
21:51crew for Tom Broadway now
21:53at the Bruce Theater.
21:54It's July 19th.
21:55Stick around.
21:55Be right back.
21:56I'm back in the morning.
22:11Welcome back, everybody.
22:12Our next guest
22:13is an Emmy-winning actor
22:14you know from shows
22:15like The Americans,
22:16Perry Mason,
22:17and The Beast and Me.
22:17He currently stars
22:18in Widow's Bay,
22:19which premieres April 29th
22:21on Apple TV.
22:21Let's take a look.
22:22I was talking to the guy
22:23on the ferry
22:24and he said something odd.
22:26What was that?
22:28He said bad things happen here.
22:32You know, Arthur,
22:35there is something
22:36about these seafaring towns,
22:38the superstitions,
22:39their tall tales.
22:40Maybe it's that stories
22:42help pass a long day at sea.
22:43I don't know,
22:43but I find it charming myself.
22:45Was there cannibalism?
22:47No.
22:48Well, the article behind you.
22:51Forced inside the church,
22:52they immediately
22:53turned to cannibalism.
22:55I don't think that's right.
22:56I mean, it's on a framed article
22:58inside the historical society.
23:00Yeah.
23:00Please welcome back
23:01of the show,
23:02our friend Matthew Rhys.
23:21Hello, friend.
23:22How are you?
23:23We were lamenting backstage.
23:24It's been three years
23:25since you've been on the show.
23:26And I thought I did something wrong.
23:27Did I do something wrong?
23:28No, I think what you did wrong
23:30is you saw me socially
23:31in the world.
23:32And then I just assumed
23:32I'd been on...
23:33And I assumed as well,
23:34so I didn't go out of my way.
23:36Well, because we had a very...
23:36I told you stories
23:37and you laughed.
23:38And I was like,
23:39and I felt in my mind,
23:40I'm like, we've been,
23:41we've done this.
23:41We danced.
23:42We had a very special evening.
23:44We did.
23:44You bought a boat
23:45from the 1930s.
23:47Yeah.
23:47It was called the Rare Bit.
23:48It was.
23:48A gorgeous boat.
23:49And you decided to sell it
23:52and I went on your final voyage.
23:54You did.
23:54You were on, yes,
23:55the talisman for the final voyage.
23:57And it must have been
23:58heartbreaking to sell it.
23:59Was it hard when that day came?
24:01What's happened?
24:04They withdrew from the sale.
24:05Oh, really?
24:06She's still currently for sale
24:07should anyone wish to purchase
24:09an old antique...
24:10But Matthew, Matthew,
24:11this is years ago
24:13that you, you, they...
24:14So you're saying
24:15this is not selling like hotcakes?
24:17This is not a hotcake
24:18that's being sold.
24:19When you now look back,
24:21do you realize how excited
24:22the person who you bought it from was?
24:24Yes, this is what I'm realizing.
24:25So there's not many people
24:26in the world
24:27who buy very old wooden boat.
24:29I restored the boat.
24:30There's not many people
24:31who buy them
24:32for the sole reason
24:33that's why it almost cost me
24:34my marriage
24:35because you just kind of go,
24:36I've just got to go up
24:37into the boat.
24:37Something's happened again.
24:39Yeah.
24:40Because I'm not doing
24:41a good sales pitch here, actually.
24:43Yeah.
24:43It's a wonderful boat.
24:46She's sound.
24:47She's sound.
24:48I am not.
24:49But she is sound.
24:50Yeah.
24:50Because I remember
24:51saying to your partner, Carrie,
24:52like how I was so...
24:53I'm like, God,
24:54it's so cool
24:54that Matthew bought this boat
24:55and she was...
24:56Yeah.
24:58It's a very Larry David answer.
25:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:01Yeah.
25:03We talked about
25:03how your mother's side
25:04of the family
25:04is very nautical.
25:05Was she at least happy
25:07when you bought a boat?
25:07No.
25:08Okay.
25:08Because for the sole reason,
25:10they're all sailors.
25:11And when I said,
25:12you know,
25:13I said,
25:13I bought an old wooden boat.
25:15And they were like,
25:16oh, for a minute then,
25:17I thought you said
25:18an old wooden boat.
25:21Yeah, that would be stupid.
25:23So they're not that happy.
25:25They were like,
25:26more fool you.
25:27Yeah.
25:27Yeah.
25:28Good luck.
25:28This show,
25:29this takes place
25:30on a New England island.
25:31Yes.
25:32It's a wonderful show.
25:34Very nautical themed as well.
25:35Yes, yes.
25:36Do you enjoy that element of it?
25:37Love it.
25:37We got to shoot in places
25:38like Gloucester and Rockport.
25:40You know, I was in my natural element.
25:42But, you know,
25:43I'm not saying
25:44it's an enormous departure for me,
25:45but I don't do comedy.
25:47This is, you know,
25:49dare I say a comedy horror.
25:51Yeah.
25:51A tough tone to crack.
25:53I've done some horrific performances
25:55in my past.
25:56That were very funny to watch.
25:58Yes.
25:59People laughed in the wrong places.
26:00Yes.
26:01It's very funny.
26:02You're very funny in it.
26:02Well, thanks very much.
26:03Do you feel like there's a,
26:05when you're in a New England town,
26:06a seafaring New England town,
26:07do you feel a connection to Wales?
26:09Do you feel there's a similarity?
26:11I do.
26:11Massachusetts, New England
26:12reminded me enormously.
26:14The people reminded me,
26:15the place reminded me enormously
26:16of home.
26:17So I felt,
26:18I felt right at home
26:19with those,
26:19with those salty people shouting,
26:21get out of here!
26:23And then they're like,
26:23oh, they're talking to me!
26:24Yeah, that's like,
26:25oh, sorry.
26:25Nothing makes you feel more
26:26at home in New England
26:27when people are yelling
26:28at you to leave.
26:29Leave.
26:29Or if you say you live in New York.
26:31That I found I should never say
26:33in Massachusetts.
26:34No.
26:34Yes.
26:35Especially when you have
26:35the benefit of a non-New York accent.
26:37Like, to bring it up,
26:38it's idiotic.
26:39They were just like,
26:39oh, leave now.
26:40Oh, yes,
26:41before we burn you.
26:42Did you,
26:43it's a show,
26:44obviously,
26:45there's a horror element.
26:45The people in the town
26:47are very superstitious.
26:48They are,
26:48they are indeed.
26:49Are the Welsh
26:49superstitious people?
26:51You couldn't throw a stone
26:53in Wales
26:53without there being
26:54a superstition behind it.
26:56Or some kind of myth
26:57or legend
26:57or fable
26:59or some kind of
27:00warlock and wizard
27:01that fought a dragon
27:02that killed someone.
27:03I was like,
27:03oh my God.
27:04It's like,
27:04let's let it go
27:05with the myths and legends.
27:06You mentioned this is
27:08a comedy.
27:09It's very funny.
27:09There's an episode
27:10where your character
27:11is on mushrooms.
27:12Yes.
27:13It's a very funny performance.
27:14Well, thanks very much.
27:15Did you do any research?
27:20No.
27:21No?
27:21Yes.
27:22I'm a fun guy.
27:24You're a,
27:25everybody says
27:26you're a fun guy.
27:27Yes.
27:28That was the mushroom joke.
27:29Yeah.
27:30You also,
27:32yeah.
27:36I watch a lot
27:36of YouTube videos.
27:37See,
27:38I grew up in a time,
27:39I grew up in a time,
27:42before I began,
27:43when I started acting,
27:45YouTube wasn't around.
27:46We used to go to places
27:47to research with a notebook
27:48and like a tape recorder.
27:49Now you just go,
27:50you go,
27:50you look at YouTube,
27:52you go,
27:52people on mushrooms.
27:53And it comes up.
27:54And so you just watch YouTube?
27:56Yes.
27:56That's fantastic.
27:57I watch all kinds of tests
27:58on people on hallucinogens
28:00and I went,
28:01oh God,
28:01this is so cruel.
28:02But I stole all of it.
28:03You stole it?
28:04All of it.
28:04I think they'd appreciate it.
28:06Something good came of it.
28:07I think something good came of it.
28:08That's what I wrote to them.
28:10In the comment section?
28:12Yes.
28:12Thank you for your service.
28:15All right,
28:15so you know how to ride a horse,
28:17which I'm shocked by.
28:18But this was not a skill
28:19you learned in Wales.
28:20It was a skill I learned in Wales.
28:21Oh, it was.
28:21Yes, yes.
28:22I'm sort of kind of,
28:23on dad's side of the family,
28:24they're all farmers.
28:25And they had,
28:26some of them had horses
28:26and we would just jump on
28:28and, you know,
28:29teach ourselves.
28:30So you knew enough
28:31about riding horses
28:32that when you got invited
28:33to a rodeo competition,
28:35recently,
28:36you said yes.
28:37I said, of course I'll do a rodeo.
28:39Show me on American ways.
28:41How did a rodeo invite
28:43even come across your dad?
28:45So, a friend of mine,
28:46it's actually,
28:47it's Taylor Sheridan
28:47and his wife,
28:48they do an incredible
28:49charity event
28:50for UT Southwestern
28:51and it's a cutting competition.
28:53Do you know what cutting is?
28:54I didn't.
28:55Very few, yeah.
28:56Well, they said,
28:56come do cutting.
28:57And I went,
28:58what does that mean?
28:59They said, we cut cows.
29:01I was like,
29:01that's barbaric!
29:02What about these poor cows?
29:03I was like,
29:04I thought we'd have machetes
29:05and box cutters
29:06and we'd be like,
29:07get the cows!
29:08It's not.
29:08It's not.
29:09You cut one calf or steer
29:11from the herd
29:13and then try and keep it
29:13away from the herd.
29:14Okay, gotcha.
29:15Yes.
29:15So this is more than
29:16just riding a horse.
29:17More than riding a horse.
29:19I found out.
29:20Yeah.
29:20Yes.
29:21It's like dancing.
29:21It's like horse dancing.
29:22All right.
29:23So, yeah.
29:24So here's,
29:25like, these are photos.
29:26Like, you actually look
29:27like you know
29:27what you're doing there.
29:28I looked like
29:29I knew what I was on the boat.
29:31That's true.
29:34You shouldn't applaud
29:35because I dress up for a living.
29:38Is this you getting a belt buckle?
29:40That's what it looks like to me.
29:41Oh, you mean this old thing?
29:53I have not taken that off
29:55in two weeks.
29:56Celebrity cutting.
29:57So you were in Fort Worth, Texas.
29:58No joke.
29:59It was a, it was,
30:00it was Taylor Sheridan and his wife.
30:02It was a,
30:02it was a kind of pro-celebrity.
30:04So celebrities were paired
30:06with real professional cutters.
30:08Yeah.
30:08And then your combined score
30:09was, you know,
30:11what won it.
30:11But the reason I was invited
30:13is because
30:15a dear friend of mine
30:16who played my brother
30:17on a show called
30:17Brothers and Sisters
30:18who's in a Taylor Sheridan show
30:20called Lioness
30:20said,
30:21you like horses,
30:22why don't you come?
30:22So I came
30:23and then in the tunnel
30:24before going out
30:24I could see all these actors
30:26on Taylor Sheridan shows
30:27just looking at me like,
30:29what Taylor Sheridan show
30:30is he on?
30:31Yeah.
30:32So I sort of made one up.
30:33Yeah.
30:34I didn't.
30:34I didn't.
30:34There's a lot of Taylor.
30:35I'm Jell-Ostone.
30:36You can make up a Taylor Sheridan.
30:38There's so many.
30:39Right?
30:39They wouldn't know.
30:40No.
30:40They wouldn't know.
30:41Yeah.
30:41I kind of went with that.
30:42I was like,
30:43don't worry about it.
30:43It's coming out.
30:43It's coming out.
30:44I'm in Yellowstone 1934.
30:45Yeah.
30:46Yeah.
30:46Yeah.
30:46They'd be like,
30:47oh, I can't wait to see it.
30:482048.
30:50There's like,
30:50there's one in the future?
30:51Yeah, yeah.
30:52But we don't like
30:52to talk about it.
30:53Wow.
30:53Yes.
30:53And not that far
30:55into the future.
30:55No, no.
30:55Just enough.
30:56Just enough.
30:57Yes.
30:57But just enough
30:58to travel back
30:59and say,
30:59we bought the wrong
31:00bit of land.
31:01Yeah.
31:02So there's actual,
31:04so Yellowstone 2048,
31:05there's actual time
31:06travel elements as well.
31:07Yes.
31:07I come back
31:08and warn them about things.
31:09Wow.
31:09Yeah.
31:10I know.
31:10And Taylor's okay
31:11that you're going
31:12to spoil this here.
31:13He doesn't know yet.
31:15I'm going to pitch it.
31:16I think it's a winner.
31:17All right.
31:17We actually have video
31:18of you on the cutting horse.
31:20Were you nervous?
31:21Were you nervous?
31:22All right.
31:23I was terrified.
31:26I would be terrified.
31:27I'm not judging you.
31:28I mean,
31:28I would never agree to do it.
31:29But here you are.
31:30And let me just say,
31:30I'm very impressed
31:31that you, Matthew Rhys,
31:32have a name
31:33that a rodeo caller
31:35can pronounce.
31:45Oh, thank you,
31:47Matthew Rhys.
31:51Matthew Rhys.
31:52Matthew Rhys.
31:56In fairness,
31:59I don't have a vowel
32:00in my name.
32:01No, no.
32:01It was anyone's guess.
32:03Until I was taught,
32:04that's definitely
32:05how I said it as well.
32:06I said it until I was 18.
32:07And my parents were like,
32:08it's not how we say our name.
32:09Really?
32:09What's wrong with you?
32:10I was like, I'm...
32:12You and your partner,
32:13Kerry, met on The Americans,
32:14one of my favorite shows
32:15of all time.
32:15We did.
32:16Fantastic show.
32:18I think a lot of us
32:20viewers of that show
32:21kind of discovered
32:22over the run of it,
32:23oh, you know,
32:23they're a couple in real life.
32:24Yes.
32:25The way the crew
32:26and the other cast
32:27found that out
32:28was not because of
32:29like some grand announcement.
32:30No, no.
32:31It was very unplanned.
32:33And I'll try
32:33and make this brief.
32:34What happened was,
32:36it was quite terrifying,
32:37actually,
32:37but we were
32:40together in an apartment
32:41and she woke me up
32:42and she said,
32:42I think there's someone
32:43in the apartment.
32:43I said,
32:44there's no one
32:44in the apartment.
32:45And then I heard
32:46someone saying something.
32:47I went,
32:48oh, there's someone
32:48in the apartment.
32:49That is scary.
32:50And then I thought,
32:51now,
32:51because it was early days,
32:52and I thought,
32:53whatever I do next
32:55might define the way
32:56she regards me
32:56for the rest of my life.
32:58So there was
32:59a kind of fire set,
33:01so I picked up a poker.
33:03Instead of locking
33:04ourselves in the bathroom,
33:05calling 911,
33:05which we should do,
33:07I went,
33:08you stay here.
33:09I shall go out.
33:11And I think
33:14my classically trained pipes
33:16made them flee, thankfully.
33:18So they fled.
33:19Anyway,
33:20they caught them very quickly,
33:21apprehended them.
33:22Kerry filed a report,
33:23and then the DA,
33:24I think,
33:24was retiring,
33:25and they were like,
33:25oh,
33:25we'd love to bring
33:26your things back
33:27and present them
33:28to you on set
33:28and do a photograph
33:29of the DA
33:30and the NYPD officers
33:31who caught them.
33:31And she's like,
33:32no, no, no, no,
33:33that's all right.
33:33I'll just come to a precinct
33:35to pick them up.
33:35She's like,
33:36no, no, no,
33:36we'll come to set
33:36and we'll take a photograph
33:38and present them to you.
33:39And she's like,
33:40please, please don't.
33:42So they,
33:43very kindly,
33:43and God bless them
33:44and thank you
33:45for their service,
33:45came to set
33:46and held up a bag
33:48and went,
33:48we caught them
33:49and here's her bag.
33:50And then the young PA
33:51who's next to me
33:52indeed went,
33:53no, no,
33:53that's Matthew's bag.
33:54And I was like,
33:56shut up!
33:57And then taking it out
33:58and here's her watch
34:00and like,
34:00no, no,
34:01that's Matthew's watch.
34:02I was like,
34:02shut up!
34:05And lo,
34:05it came to pass
34:06that we were together.
34:07I mean,
34:07that way you don't
34:08have to overthink it.
34:09You know what?
34:09You just leave it.
34:10Everyone knows,
34:11one clean sweep,
34:12didn't have to hire
34:12a publicist.
34:13It was great.
34:13I think anytime
34:14you want to tell people
34:15about a new relationship,
34:16just leave it to the NYPD.
34:18Leave it,
34:18let them turn up.
34:20Let the police turn up
34:21and explain it.
34:22Yes, exactly.
34:23Congrats on the show.
34:24It's fantastic.
34:25Thanks for being here.
34:26Thank you as always.
34:27Matthew Reece,
34:28everybody.
34:29Widow's Bay,
34:30premieres April 29th
34:31on Apple TV.
34:32We'll be right back
34:32with the new news.
34:47Hey, everybody.
34:48We're here with
34:48Sabrina Rundin,
34:50founder of Spring Cafe
34:51and Spring Cafe Aspen
34:52and author of her new cookbook,
34:54Healthy with a Side of Happiness
34:56on today.
34:56Sabrina, can we toast?
34:58Yes.
34:59We're going to toast,
34:59as with all things.
35:00I know you like a cocktail,
35:01but this is a juice.
35:02This is just a healthy juice.
35:03To keep you extra healthy.
35:05Your food at your restaurant
35:06is very healthy.
35:07I'm a huge fan of it.
35:08My whole family is.
35:09We bring our kids there
35:10because it's good, healthy food.
35:12And my wife sent me
35:12so many pictures
35:13of our kids eating
35:14at your restaurant.
35:15And I said,
35:16I can't show these
35:16because the kids
35:17are so disgusting,
35:18the way they eat.
35:19Mine are, too,
35:20when they eat there.
35:21I know, but your food
35:21is beautiful.
35:22And showing it
35:23with my kids eating,
35:24it seemed deeply unfair.
35:25I would have loved
35:25to see that.
35:26No, thank you.
35:27All right,
35:27what are we making today?
35:28We are making
35:29superhero burritos
35:30with tofu.
35:31Okay, great.
35:32And we're going
35:32to start cooking.
35:33And actually,
35:35you love this burrito.
35:36I do love this burrito.
35:37And I don't know
35:38if I'm allowed
35:38to say this on television.
35:40Go for it.
35:40But when we first opened,
35:43you ordered a burrito.
35:45Online.
35:45Online.
35:46And I got a text
35:47from my manager.
35:49The whole team
35:50was really excited
35:50when they saw your name.
35:51And she said,
35:52I have good news
35:52and bad news,
35:53which is always never
35:54a text you want to get
35:55when you own a restaurant.
35:57She said,
35:57the good news is
35:58Seth Meyers ordered a burrito.
36:00The bad news is
36:01he didn't get it
36:02because he ordered it
36:03to the Aspen location.
36:03I did.
36:04I did.
36:05I did.
36:05Yeah, it was
36:06a little unfortunate.
36:07You know, I will say,
36:08I sometimes order pizza
36:09at the wrong of two pizza places
36:10and you only have to
36:11walk two avenues.
36:13This was a little harder.
36:13When it's in Aspen,
36:15I'm like,
36:15I'm not going to have
36:16that burrito.
36:16Well, we're making it here
36:17to make sure
36:18you get one tonight.
36:19So what do we do?
36:20We're going to pour
36:21in the avocado oil.
36:22And then I want you to cook.
36:24So here, throw in the onions.
36:25Okay, great.
36:26I'm going to do onions.
36:28Peppers.
36:28I love when people
36:29give me the easiest job.
36:31I'll throw in those.
36:32Mushrooms, potatoes.
36:35Oh, I did that.
36:36Sorry, I did that one.
36:36Tofu?
36:37Well, stir.
36:38Let's stir a little.
36:39Just, we don't want to,
36:39you know, we wanted to.
36:40Don't correct me on my show.
36:43So, just throw it in all together.
36:45Eat it.
36:45This is fantastic.
36:46Yep.
36:46All right, great.
36:46Okay, and then we're going
36:47to let this brown.
36:49Okay.
36:49We want to do a pinch of salt.
36:51Season as you go.
36:52Season as you go.
36:53And how long would you,
36:54if you had the time to do it,
36:55how long would you actually
36:56do this part?
36:57Well, I probably would have
36:58let the onions cook down
36:59for two to three minutes.
37:00But it's like five minutes all in.
37:02Great.
37:02And then we're going
37:03to add the tofu.
37:05Great.
37:05And now do you want
37:06to add the seasoning?
37:07I would love to.
37:08We have some cumin, turmeric.
37:09How much of it?
37:09Just pinches?
37:10Pinch or just go all in.
37:12Great.
37:12Just get in there.
37:14That's great because
37:15it gives it a lovely color,
37:16a lovely taste.
37:17We want the tofu to brown.
37:18Yep, okay.
37:19This is very healthy.
37:20And then break it,
37:21break it down a little bit.
37:23Because we don't want these chunks.
37:24No, no, nobody wants the chunks.
37:26You want to, you know, mash.
37:28And how many years
37:29have you had both restaurants?
37:31There'll be 13 in July
37:32for Aspen.
37:33Congratulations.
37:34And five and a half here.
37:37And it was the key
37:38when you were putting
37:38the cookbook together.
37:39Obviously, you know it's people
37:40who want to eat healthy food,
37:41but you want to make it
37:42like so there are actual recipes
37:43they can make.
37:44Was that?
37:44Yes.
37:45I wanted it to be
37:46approachable, simple.
37:47I think people get really
37:48intimidated by vegetables
37:49and vegetarian food.
37:50I think we're good.
37:51It's crumbled.
37:52I feel like either
37:53this should be a little bit bigger
37:54or we should have put
37:55a little few onions.
37:56Or maybe just taking our time
37:59a little bit more.
38:00But, you know,
38:01when you do it at home,
38:01it'll look like this
38:03because of the magic of TV.
38:05So this is our filling.
38:06This is our filling.
38:07Really?
38:08I'm so glad.
38:08I had them put tequila in mine.
38:11I was going to say
38:12that was really
38:13a winning endorsement.
38:14Yeah, no, it's really good.
38:15And your food is really good.
38:18Thanks.
38:19All right.
38:19Okay, so now you ready
38:20to roll a burrito?
38:21That's right.
38:21Yeah, okay.
38:22Okay.
38:22So you're going to take
38:23your filling and put some.
38:26And don't overload it
38:27or overload it.
38:28Okay.
38:28That seems right.
38:30Okay.
38:30Burrito maker, beware.
38:32So just put in
38:33as much as you'd like.
38:34And then I know
38:34you love hot sauce.
38:35I love hot sauce.
38:36So I brought some
38:37Spring Cafe hot sauce for you.
38:39Great.
38:40And add that in.
38:41Okay.
38:41And then cheese.
38:42I like a little extra cheese.
38:44So I'm going to sprinkle that.
38:45And then sour cream.
38:48I mostly feel very confident
38:49about this
38:50and I'm worried about rolling it.
38:52Okay, but you know,
38:53you have three kids.
38:54So remember swaddling them
38:55as babies?
38:56I do.
38:56It's like a swaddle.
38:57It's like a tuck roll.
38:59Right.
38:59Guac.
39:00Did you do guac?
39:00I'm going to do some guac.
39:01Okay.
39:01All right.
39:02So.
39:03So you can do either.
39:04You know what?
39:05I need a little more filling.
39:06It's just I.
39:06If this had legs,
39:07I would know how to do it.
39:10The absence of legs
39:11is making it hard.
39:12Okay.
39:12We're going to go like this.
39:13Uh-huh.
39:14And then you kind of
39:15fold over.
39:17And then you want to
39:18pull it in tight.
39:20You need a tight burrito.
39:21Or a tight roll.
39:21Oh, look at that.
39:23That's a good burrito.
39:26Okay.
39:26All right.
39:27See?
39:28Yep.
39:28I'm going to have a bite now.
39:29Can I have a bite?
39:29You can.
39:30I mean, we have a really
39:31nicely cut one for you.
39:32But you can have a bite of this one.
39:33Okay, no.
39:33I'll have a nicely cut one.
39:34I feel like you just
39:35shamed mine.
39:36No, no, no.
39:38It looks beautiful.
39:41Good?
39:43It was.
39:45I'm so good.
39:46I'm so good.
