00:00We are back with just one of our favorite traditions around these parts,
00:03our today dad's annual Father's Day adventure.
00:06Earlier this morning, we shared our visit to Swingers Crazy Golf.
00:10That's the name of the place, yes.
00:12Our putting skills may have been questionable,
00:14but the conversation was right on par.
00:17We talked about everything from common challenges to parenting firsts and more.
00:23Great things about our job is that we are in each other's lives.
00:27We don't, you know, we finish our work.
00:29We go, but we've watched all of our children grow up.
00:33I mean, you had no children.
00:36You had Dell, I think.
00:37And now here they are.
00:38They're becoming their own people.
00:40And it just gets better every day.
00:42And I love being able to be a fly on the wall for those conversations
00:45because you guys are really good dads and grandfathers.
00:49I mean, you're there in your kids' lives.
00:51Work gets busy.
00:53We're kind of bopping all over the place,
00:55but you guys always make time for family, and it shows.
00:57And by the way, Willie couldn't be here.
00:59Yes.
00:59For that conversation.
01:00Because he had a kid event.
01:03He had an issue with his kid.
01:04So, yeah.
01:05Not an issue with his kid, by the way.
01:06He had to go to his school for something.
01:08Yeah, not an issue.
01:09Yeah, not an issue.
01:10It was a joyous event.
01:12It was fantastic.
01:13It was unbelievable.
01:13Uh, he had stolen a card.
01:16No.
01:17So, here's a question.
01:18How well do you know our Today Dads?
01:20Well, to test your trivia knowledge, head over to Today.com.
01:24Really quick, I want to make sure we thank Jen Long.
01:26Yes.
01:27She produces these stories every year.
01:29She just does a great job of basically ordering food and drinks.
01:31It's like, talk.
01:32Just start talking.
01:33And she's got a great dad, too.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Yeah.
01:36There you go.
01:36All right.
01:37Well, still to come this morning, the high-flying act.
01:43Drama is coming because after nearly two years, the hit show, House of the Dragon, returns
01:48this week.
01:49And we've got two of the stars with us.
01:51Matt Smith earned an Emmy nomination.
01:53Last hour.
01:53Let me think.
01:54Welcome back.
01:55But try to describe for folks that we make scenes together.
01:59We would just actually make it.
02:01Happy fans.
02:01I agree not on this project.
02:02You had it here first, guys.
02:04That's the inside scoop we were looking for.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Exactly.
02:07We've literally been, like, campaigning to get us just one scene together.
02:11Just a bit of time on stage.
02:12See, that's how co-host should be.
02:14Yeah.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Unlike you guys, warring and arguing.
02:17Honestly, you want to see them.
02:19They only knew.
02:20Is that wrong?
02:21Is that wrong?
02:22I want to go through some of the numbers.
02:24314 days of shooting, 15,000 stunting crowd performers, 25 tons of...
02:31It's like being on that ghost train.
02:34Yeah, and you never leave.
02:36I'm not sure.
02:37I just look...
02:38I don't know.
02:38I can't only look a few years and stuff.
02:41Yeah.
02:41Yeah.
02:42Yeah.
02:43I'll talk to her who said,
02:44Dad, nobody likes watching you as much as you do.
02:47If I don't, who will?
02:49Gazing, looking at me.
02:50That's not true, Al.
02:51I got chapped lips from Kissing Cold Mirror.
02:55So, I honestly...
02:56No.
02:56It was like four years...
03:00I know, you've got to look it up, guys.
03:02You've got to start being nice.
03:03Well, it's very British of you, too.
03:04Oh, that's true.
03:05Olivia, is it true that your dad just...
03:07How's the Dragon Header?
03:09Just season one.
03:10Season one.
03:10And I was just like, oh, what did you think?
03:12And he was like, yeah, quite liked it.
03:14It was a bit violent.
03:16I was like...
03:17It was a bit violent.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Thumbs up.
03:19You probably get feedback from time to time from buddies.
03:21I do get feedback from buddies, yeah.
03:24Yeah, I mean, actually really clear.
03:25Yeah, I'm not choosing.
03:26You need those honest friends, right?
03:28You need those people.
03:29I mean, there's a limit.
03:30That's true.
03:31We're very sensitive actors, really.
03:33Maybe tell me after I finish the run.
03:35Who thinks of season three?
03:36It won't be...
03:36It won't be glowing.
03:38You won't start watching it for two years.
03:40Yeah.
03:40House of the Dragon, season three.
03:43It premieres this Sunday on HBO and HBO Max.
03:47Thanks for being here, guys.
03:48Thank you so much for having us.
03:50Pleasure.
03:50Well, we've got another very talented couple.
03:52This series...
03:53This morning in our series, Life Lessons,
03:56a couple that knows a thing or two about achieving dreams.
03:59Indeed they do.
04:00Focus and dedication transform their lives.
04:03In their new book is write a book about commitment.
04:06Well, it worked for us in our profession.
04:08What are some of the maybe surprising benefits of sticking with something?
04:13It was really fun to unpack something new
04:15or when you're exploring the variety of life,
04:17but there's a lot of joy that comes when you stick with something
04:19and see it all the way through.
04:21And then meaning, you know, we found this in our marriage and parenting.
04:24But after a while, that new thing wears off
04:26and you may be getting a little bored.
04:28How do you find your way back to that
04:31when that starts to kick in?
04:33We call it the boredom or the monotonous something.
04:35I feel like you really have to believe in yourself.
04:38How can you make sure you're doing that?
04:40Well, it is a skill.
04:41I think committing is a skill.
04:43It's a muscle.
04:43No, we haven't.
04:45That's a thought that's going through my head.
04:49Reach out to my booker.
04:50We will.
04:51Sean and Andrew, thank you so much.
04:53Today, the team has put together a...
04:55Before we go, it's Thursday,
04:56which means my new podcast episode is out.
04:59The Parent Chat.
05:00So we just had a really nice conversation about our families.
05:02So you can find it on YouTube
05:04or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
05:06Can't wait to listen.
05:06Well, coming up tomorrow on the third hour of today,
05:08we're going to take an inside look
05:09at the remaking of the Apollo Theater.
05:11Jenna and Chanel.
06:21Thanks.
06:28You're welcome.
06:29You
