How you all doing? Are you all from Miami or people from Miami? OK, come on. You can say yes. Don't be ashamed. I'll tell you why I'm thrilled to be here. The humidity. I got off the plane and my hair expanded.

Fantastic. It comes to life and humidity in LA. It's always dying. My hair is always like, I will cure myself. And I got off the plane here and it's just fantastic. I've never seen it this morning. I woke up this morning.

It's super high. I don't know what. I honestly don't know why I'm doing this movement. Miami Cogniz. This isn't helping anything at all. Anyone going to be hitting the clubs tonight? Because I hear that's what you're supposed to do in Miami. We hitting the clubs?

What the hell is wrong with you? I'm in Miami, and it's Art Basil, and I get the library crowd. No, we'll be reading. Reading, I tell you. Did you say it's Tuesday? That's why you can't. I thought people went to the clubs no matter if you're like

someone who goes to the clubs, don't you go on Tuesday also? I've never been to the clubs. When I say go to the clubs, I don't know what I'm talking about. Is it clear that I've never been to the clubs. When I say go to the clubs, I don't know what I'm talking about. Is it clear that I've never been to the clubs? Thank you. Thank you for your sad, embarrassed silence. Nothing says, I don't know.

I just think we have to do something tonight. I don't know what I'm going to do. Because we're here through tomorrow night. So I'm going to have to do something. So maybe if we all got together as a group, we could hit the clubs, you know? Make our own club. Make our own club.

Is this, these movements I'm doing now, this isn't gonna go not so good. You're in the front row, you're sitting next to this gentleman in an orange wig and you're just looking very sad when I dance like this. Come on, if you were in the clubs and you didn't know me, I wasn't famous, but you saw this guy in the corner doing this Intrigued or horrified a little bit of both. Yes

That's what I was going for That's exactly what I was going for God bless you all right. We're gonna get started here I'm gonna bring out my assistant Mr. David Hopping. Let's get David Hopping out here. David Hopping! You joining me up here? We go up here? Now, let me explain. Usually Sonom of Sassian assists me.

She has little twins. And I said, she said, she can't come to Miami. But my real assistant now is David Hopping. Because Sonom doesn't do shit. She never did shit. And now is David Hopping, because Sona doesn't do shit. She never did shit, and now that she has babies, she really doesn't do anything. She still does some stuff.

No, she does absolutely nothing. She does absolutely nothing, except say, where's my check? And then, and you just keep giving it. I keep paying her. I pay her and I pay her and I pay her, because I love her. I'm trying to figure out how to get to that level of your assistant.

Yeah. So can we hire another assistant out here? If you hire an assistant, then you could goof off. Great. Yeah. Who wants to be a Conan's assistant? Yeah. Wow.

That's a lot of hands going up. Now, that means you'll be subject to a lot of passive aggression. Yeah. Well, they can probably be. Do you guys listen to the podcast fairly regularly, or have you'd be subject to a lot of passive aggression. Yeah. Well, they've been a lot of ideas. Do you guys listen to the podcast fairly regularly, or have you heard of the podcast? Okay, so then you know that, yeah, I'm no treat to work for. There you go.

Because I'm a very needy person. I think I'm a good soul, but I'm a needy person. Yeah. But then, like on trips like this, Conan pays for everything, so that part's really nice. Yeah, that wasn't clear to me until we got here I thought this was like paid by Sirius and they said no Conan you're paying for this Yeah, you're just let's visit the fact that we're here in Miami. We came from LA

It's and I'm wearing I'm wearing denim. I'm wearing a denim jacket and I don't think that's the right clothing to be wearing in this temperature. And you are wearing like an LLB. It's a very thick shirt. Yeah, you look like you're headed out in November in Maine. Yeah.

So why are you dressed that way? I just liked this shirt. Yeah, OK. Blaze ready. Look at him over there. Oh, what? What's the name of a play who actually are you wearing?

I'm ready for Miami. If you cross your eyes, you could see a sailboat. We should feel good matching shirts. Yeah, did you wear that shirt? Because you rarely wear any shirt with a button. You usually wear it as a really stupid t-shirt. No, and I met that in a nice way. That wasn't an insult.

Well, I will say last night, we got in late and we grabbed some food. And I made the mistake. When you're on the plane, you want to be comfortable and I made the mistake of wearing a t-shirt and I had a dinosaur reading a book and I will never hear the end of it for the rest of my life. Well, you always dress that way and you're 72 years old. I'm very old. That's right.

You clean up nice. You're a good looking 72 year old. It's this generation that refuses to ever dress like an adult. So I think when I go and I have my funeral, you're gonna show up in a Who farted T-shirt. And like a hat with like a propelloronic, because it's ironic. Possibly, quite possibly.

Yeah, I just think, you know, we're down in Miami. I wanted to look nice and so flowers. Now, I've asked these people, and I think they're very attractive crowd is a very good looking group and I just assumed that be hitting the clubs and when I said hey I guess I'll see one of the clubs tonight I got nothing because this is a group that I think this doesn't go out well if I may be so bold maybe they are gonna hit the clubs but they don't want you to know that they're gonna hit the clubs. I think that's a terrible assumption.

Okay, sorry. This young woman here saw me dance, and I have to admit, you didn't seem thrilled about it, but I think over time that dance would start to seem cool to you. She's trying to leave. She's actually trying to leave right now. She's desperate to get out of here.

Now, those of you who didn't wear a Conan wig today, you feel a little shame? I mean, this guy went all the way with the Conan wig, and the rest of you probably have to feel right now like, man, I thought it was a Conan fan, and this guy, where did you get that wig, by the way? What grave did you dig up? You got it at Amazon?

I didn't have, I couldn't get my hair like the poof. So I bought a wig, but I lost the bed against my late brother. So which one, whoever gets to see you first in person, where's a dumb wig? Oh my God, that's incredible. Wait, this was it and your brother passed? Yeah, two years ago. I'm very sorry about that.

Yeah, and was he a fan as well? Oh, yeah. We both saw him like almost 20 years ago, my mom would come to my room like at midnight. What are you guys doing? Are you doing, are you like smoking pot? And we're like, no, we're watching Conan. Which is,

oh, oh, oh, oh, which is worse. Wait, wait, wait, it's so much worse, it's so much more mind-altering. She thought you were the guy from the Lucky Charms commercial.

What was your brother's name? Oh, Christopher. All right, Christopher. I'll be thinking about Christopher today. He's here in spirit, and I'm so glad that you were able to be here. Thank you so much. That's really beautiful, and I'm glad that I ruined your minds. When you were children, parents hated me,

because kids would stay up and say, we've got to watch Conan and it ruined everything. She was, my mom still doesn't understand you at all. Your mother still doesn't understand? No, she's like, what do you see in him? It's like, well, thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for that. Thank you for that.

Kick to the stomach. You know what? I have to say that's what my father says. My father doesn't get it. He's like, what? What are you talking about? But, you know, over time, over time I'll get to your mom as well. Yeah, after he passed, I couldn't watch Conan for a while because there was a lot to it. Oh, I can see that. And my mom, I woke up one day

and she was watching your shows. She was trying to understand it. So I sat next to her. It's not, I love it. It's like, I'm gonna try one more time to see why anyone likes this idiot. So, this is fantastic. So I sat next to her.

She was watching the baseball one, which is my favorite. The little tiny baseball one is a classic, yeah. And she looks at me at the end and she's like, why? Why? All right, I'm going to call your mom. I'll call your mom, maybe after the show, I'll call your mom, OK? And we'll have a conversation.

What's her first name? Lesbia. Lesbia, OK, I'm going to call her and I'm going to convince her that I'm the greatest comedian that ever lived. Please do. There's gonna be some money exchanged, so we need it. All right, well we should get on with the show. We have a terrific show today. I just go right into it, right? I think I do. All right, I'm sorry.

Oh wait, these are not my cards. These are my cards. There we go. Secret card. You get on the plane, you do a lot of cocaine. Come on! We've all done it! What the hell was that? I hated that. Yeah, what do you... Nixon, yeah.

That's Nixon on cocaine. Let's do another line! I love these guys. My guests today are a father-son duo who are currently starring in the new Apple TV series Monarch Legacy of Monsters. I am thrilled they are here today. Ladies and gentlemen, Kurt Russell. Yeah, yeah. So far so good. I feel totally justified about being Conan. Hey, I like that. You like that.

It was like it was in question. Yes. But you stuck with it over the years. We just talked to an audience member who said his mom just doesn't get it. What, yeah, your turn, sir. Hi, my name is Wyatt Russell. And I feel a strong sense of impending doom. Nobody's making out of this room. It's actually an escape room. You guys are f**k. This should be

in a escape room. We've already had like three audience members to try to get out. Try to get out of here. And it's like, I just, did you know, no, no, I just want a way from this man. I hope you like this room. We're gonna be here for a week. We have a fan here who is wearing a tribute cone and wig right there. That's close. That's very close. Thanks a lot, Kurt.

Hey, hey, I want to meet up with Kurt Russell and Miami and have him insult me. That's one of my lifelong dreams. You know, I have to say, you have this incredible movie career you've made so many different types of movie. Like, you've inhabited more genres than just about anyone I can think of. There's no clear, like, pathmine in your career is there. It's just, you've made all these iconic movies.

It's amazing. Keep going, you're doing great. And that's all our time. No, I've always been thrilled to talk to you because. I've always enjoyed you. We were just talking outside. You're actually funny and you're fun and you're nice. I don't know.

You're actually funny. I'm really good guy. I want that on my gravestone. Actually, actually, actually funny. But you know what's amazing is that I was introduced to your son a couple of years ago. I didn't even realize it was your son. I'm watching one of my favorite shows is Black Mirror. And I'm watching this Black Mirror episode starring this young actor who I didn't recognize, Big Beard, and it is a acting tour de force when I watched it. I was like, who is that guy? That guy is absolutely fantastic. And then I find out it's Wyatt, it's your boy. And I'm like, that guy killed it. You absolutely killed it. And I thought, and what's interesting is

neither one of you started out thinking it'd be an actor you both started out as athletes. Yeah. Who got injured and then it started with you. You played baseball. Yeah. You were a child actor and then you said, no, it's going to be baseball, right? Well, the only reason I got into acting was because my dad wasn't I did everything my dad did. My dad was an actor. He looked like he was having a fun life. And I wanted to get some bicycles for my sister and myself and I had a paper out and then I started like, thank you. Listen to me. He does everything for me.

Could you adjust my lighting as well? Absolutely. Anyway, I had the opportunity to like, you know, go in on some interviews and stuff. And I got a job and the minimum pay scale was enough to pay for those two bicycles. So I asked him, I said, this was pretty much it. And he said, yeah, I said, well, I don't know, he said,

if you want to do it, call, call Hilda up, because it's my dad's agent. Call her up and tell her you want to, you know, keep doing it. So I did, and that was, you know, that was why I got into it. I was playing baseball. And then, yeah, I mean, that was sort of what I thought I was going to do for sure. And

didn't really think about acting as something that I was going to continue with. I did like writing a lot. I liked acting. It was really fun. And the money in it was just sort of unbelievable for what you're doing. You're having fun. You're, you know, just having a good time. And, and then I guess that was when I got hurt at an out of baseball. I played three years of pro ball, and I was doing well. So I was a big surprise to me. And then I said, well, what am I gonna do really? And I'm crying for three days, and I said,

I guess I'm gonna maybe I'll stick with that, I can always do that. And then I realized, if I'm gonna do this, I gotta be really interested in and I'm gonna have to do this my way. And my way was to try to create characters, you know, memorable characters where you said, I don't remember that character or that character,

in really fun stories or great stories. And then I had the, I just got lucky, I had the opportunity to work with some really great directors and some great material and then still doing it. Who's the one, I think that is snakepliskin, the one that follows you around the most, or is it you've done so many different things that you never know when you bump into someone,

is it gonna be one of the Tarantino movies, is it gonna be snakepliskin, is it gonna be? It just changes. And the biggest one I've ever had is Santa Claus. I mean, that was Santa Claus on Netflix. It was just, everybody saw it. It was really fun to do. It was something I always wanted to do.

Kind of fun to go from snake to Santa Claus, you know, over your career. They're basically the same character. I've always thought of them. What is interesting about it is living in the family that we live in. Obviously, you know, goldies and icon and Kate nominated for an Academy Award. It's like second crack out of the box and Oliver Hudson has done more work than all of us combined. Right.

And always, there was this thing that, well, we used to not kidding, I was serious about it. It was one of the best actors in a family's hockey player. So, and a long, long came the hockey player. Okay, so you grow up and you think, I'm not gonna be an actor, right? You weren't interested in that. You were interested in hockey.

Yeah, well, it's like you've got your kids, like don't want anything to do with show business. You're so funny that you say that because my boy back it when he was about six. Because I was trying to kept them away from what I did because I was deeply ashamed of it. And I mean, this guy's cool. What am I doing?

But my son came and saw me do a big show, like at the Beacon Theater. I mean, I don't know, 2500 or 3000 people, you know, crowd going wild, really good hot show. My son, my wife took my son, was about six and he saw it. And then they're leaving the theater and she's holding his hand. And she said, would you think? And he said, when I grow up, I want to do something where there's no stage and no audience. And he was basically saying, what that guy is doing, I want to do the exact opposite.

So he's really into computers. He's a really smart kid. He's going to have, I think he's a brilliant guy. He's going to have a great life. Yeah, and he's not. He appreciates what I do. But he's like, aha, no, not me. So when you were a kid, that's what great life. Yeah, and he's not, he appreciates what I do, but he's like, aha, no, not me. Right.

So when you were a kid, that's what it was, because you see what it is on screen, and it's fine, whatever, but when you're like six years old, and you go to a Kings game, and that energy is directed towards your parents, who are just your parents,

it's like really off-putting, and scary in a way, you're just sex or five or whatever it is. And I grew up with that and I was like, I just want to watch the Kingsley with my dad, but you can't. And so that really seeped in and I was like, well, I just don't want to do that. It's not something that interests me. At that time, I'll see you don't understand like what an artistic avenue can give you when you get older. And so I was focusing on hockey. He took me to my first rank in Toronto.

I was three years old when I was doing a movie. And I can swear to God to you as cheesy as it sounds. It's like my first real memory where I was on an ice rink outdoors in Toronto. I would skate from like bench to bench. And it stuck with me in this way that I was like, this is what I want to do. And I swear from four years old I was like, I'm going to be a hockey player. It also differentiated myself from what they did and from a very early age. Yeah, it's important to have your own thing, especially when your parents are so dominant in a field,

you, you want to find your own way. Yeah, it's really important. also they never brought work home, like ever. So it was just having fun, sports, playing hockey, baseball, whatever it was. So that was like- They didn't act like celebrities around the house, like movie stars. Like we normally do. Like the only way. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I just- Cause I did have to-

I did have to do- When I come home, I'm in full makeup. Yeah. And I'm like, you have any idea? Who and what I am? I'm home. I'm in full makeup. Yeah, and I'm like, you have any idea? A little applause would be nice to come on to. We have an applause light at our table and I'm always leaning on it. That's a little buzz. I had to learn how to do my dad's hair from a very early age. You don't get your ego lost Oh, I get three minutes of applause. I get three minutes of a pause! But yeah, I did that.

And then when he was really good, sports parent, obviously, playing sports. And I was about 10, he said, look, you're good at this. And if you're still wanting to do this when you're like 12, 13, then it gets real. And it's not as fun anymore, but it becomes a different thing. And if you do, I'll always support it. And I did and I told them, yeah, this is what I want to do. And then we ended up moving to Vancouver for me to play Junior Hockey. And that was my career path.

And that's how I gained all of my, that's where I learned how to do everything in my life. And you were, I mean, you were playing professional hockey like in Germany and had fans hanging outside your house. You would wake up in the morning and there's just fans. I mean, you had real success. Well, it was so, I mean, it was a small town. I would, I would, I would,

I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I it. But like, I don't know, the guy who ran the social media for the team was a bit of an idiot, and he put my address on Facebook, on my Facebook profile, and one day after we won the championship, I woke up to fans outside my door like wanting to get in. So at like 7.30 in the morning, I was drinking vice beer and pretzels with like,

because it felt like safer to let them in somehow. Yeah, yeah. I always let fans in the house. Yeah. I don't see any reason not to. Yeah, so that went well. And then I played in Holland for a little while. And then I got hurt.

I tore my hip apart. And that's when I really was like, look, I don't wanna say I shouldn't do film because I really think it's great and I started watching movies. I had had a hip injury prior to this and it started to be like, well, maybe I won't do this forever, you know?

Like, I gotta figure out something else. And I started watching movies. I started with like the AFI 100 and I love movies. I went to USC Film School in the summertime. Made friends that weren't hockey players and just realized like how much fun the entertainment industry can be if you do it on your own terms. I always felt like having that,

your son probably feels the same, like it's like directed at you towards you. There's nothing you can do about it, it feels helpless, get a little older, and you're like, well, actually, I can kind of do it my own way, which has been great. And it was like, I'll go down swinging in a

ball of fire if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. And he also had worked, you know, he had played, he did a little moment in a picture, John Carpenter movie that either John escaped from LA. And then he did, that's right. You were, you had a scene where you're supposed to kick snake in the shin. Is that right? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, I'm sorry. You're supposed to sneer at him where you're supposed to kick snake in the shin. Is that right? Yeah. No, no, no, I'm sorry. You're supposed to sneer at him. You're supposed to sneeze by, you combined our, you combined two strings. He kicked Elvis in the shin.

He kicked Elvis in the shin. I can't hear you going. That's right. See, I thought that was funny, but it was just mistaken. Yeah. Well, most of my big laughs are me just misspeaking. Yeah. But, yeah, that's right.

You as a child actor were in an Elvis movie. Yeah, where I can do the shit. Elvis in the shin. But I mean, he was there and he had this small thing to do. I said, well, you're a kid in prison, but you're the only guy in here who's not afraid of snake blisc. And so when I look at you, you look, you look back at me like, you know, what are you looking at, buddy? And so then we found this tape or somebody sent it recently, or it's on the internet or whatever. And somebody did a little thing and he said, yeah, what are you in for? He said, I'm in for, what was it?

Eating a hamburger, which you know read me, and it was the deal. You're in for eating a hamburger and selling cigarettes. So when he looked at me and John came over and he went, that kid's not afraid of you, man. That's really great. And then I did a movie called Soldier where the whole beginning of the movie is about these kids who are really,

they're brought up to be soldiers because they show aggression or they show this or they show that. Character, I was playing was the one you're gonna follow later on. And he played him. And he's really the best, he's like one of the best things or if not the best thing in the movie.

And the director once again said, and he's really good. And I said, yeah. And he had actually pointed something out to me where he thought it was a mistake. I went down and talked to the director about. We looked at the video. He was on top of it.

It was very clear that this was going to be something. And then I directed the soldier. And never got paid for it. Yeah. Now, to me, what I'm hearing is you both grew up with this sense that it's a craft. You got to work hard. Obviously, an athlete's know there there's a lot of preparation, there's a lot of hard work, and that all informs the fact that it doesn't seem like there's no entitlement.

And I've always had that sense, because I've been around you a bunch of times that you are a guy who likes to work hard. You see this as a craft, you see this as something that's a job, and that that was kind of the way you grew up and clearly you have that too? Yeah, I mean look growing up where we live, you see in title and all around you and it's like, I don't know why the fuck you'd ever look at that and be like, that's what I want to be. I want to be an entitled asshole. Here's for you and I different

It's all I've ever wanted But no one lets me get away with it It's desperately want to be in title But yeah, so I always I was in Lakewood in Culver City and hockey is played in places in California where They're not in the greatest areas like norwalk We had to be walked to the rank from the car by parents because they were drive by shootings in the 90s. And you saw a different side of the world and then when I went to go play in different you bill it, you don't live with your family always after they left Vancouver when I was like 1617, I lived with different families in Chicago and Toronto.

And you just live with other people so you get to see a real sense of like, what the world is like, obviously, it's not a real sense of what the world is like in, you know, Los Angeles where we live. So yeah, that's like, it's like my greatest fear in the world is somebody being like, what an entitled thing. You think about the worst fear?

You think about the war walk. It was like, of course I was probably the only parent that said, no, go ahead, you'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah. You get shot just walk it off. Hey course I was probably the only person that said no go ahead you'll be fine You get shot just walk it off You're kid you're supposed to get shot every now and then You're talking about you're an awful dad turns out terrible terrible Father I

Love Tarantino's movies and I know that you've been in a couple and what's interesting is I read this interview with Tarantino where he said, Kurt's one of the only guys I can talk to because he's making a movie about LA and 68, 69. Kurt knew all these people. You experienced that world and he said you informed so much of like he picked your brain about what was LA like back then because you started out doing You know a Disney films early on yeah, and television yeah, I was just working you know working actors my My brother Nio is a TV head and I swear to God I wake up this morning. He's like that's come about being on lost in space And I'm like, no. I mean, you should because it's a good one for your world.

My character's name was Guano. Yeah. You know what, but they finally figured out after the show, you know what Guano means? Yeah. Bad shit. I play Michael on Sara's kid. That was one of the first experiences I ever had where I was kind of like, yeah, I know what I want to do here.

And I, because Michael and Sarah was bald. Yeah. And we were, you know, it was lost in space. You're not on earth, you're somewhere out there. And I went, oh, great. I know what I want to do. And I, I don't know how I know I remember how I convinced that I said, I want to, I want to be bald too.

Right. So I got to be, I got to play a character that was, you know, look, I looked like that. We were clearly not from Pacoima, you know? Yeah. From a different planet. Yeah., big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big on his kids' feet and food in the table by being an actor and he did everything. It worked for a long time. But he was, you know, we kind of looked at each other as plumber actors. You know, I mean, does that take your work, pale, go to work? You know, but with Quentin, we talked a lot about stuff.

He's very, he loves, he loves the history of Hollywood. Yeah. He probably knows it as well as anybody. And so he does, it's more than picking your brain. It's for you going to go out and have a good time. And he used a lot of the conversation. I think the things that he has learned over the years for many different people. And it was very nice that he made a dedication in the book that he wrote about once upon a

time in Hollywood. And he did have me come over to his house to read it. And it was really interesting because I think he wanted me to read it in the Larry. And it was right in the heart. He loves living where he lives in the heart of Hollywood as we were. And it was a great feeling. And I must say, I said to him,

I said, I don't know if there's anybody alive who can appreciate this as much as me, because it was like, you're a lot in my life, it was like completely out of my life. Well, I understand everything about it. I have a fascination with that era. So there's a clip you can see online. I guess someone in like 1966 just drove along

Sunset Boulevard. And now today everyone has a phone, but back then it was very rare for people to have a color film camera and someone just shot out their windshield driving along the Sunset strip in 1966 and it's a different world. And I've looked at that thing so many times. I love time travel.

And that's just an amazing, you look at that L.A., and we don't live in that L.A. anymore. It's gone, but it's so strange and so different. I love what I love watching those videos. It is an essential nostalgia that you're like, oh wow, and you're living back in that time, I'm sure you go back in that time and you're like, this is so fucking nice.

I ain't married back in 2023. But yeah, I know those ones where you kind of like, oh wow, and you're living back in that time, I'm sure you go back in that time and you're like, this is so fucking nice. I ain't married back into 2003. But yeah, I know those ones where you kind of like, they put it on the hood of a car and they just kind of drift through Los Angeles. Yeah, they drive through L.A. and you see what the cars look like, how the people dressed, what. It is strange to me to live long enough

to see that there really is a difference as time goes by, because it always kind of feels the same to me, you know. But you're, why I was telling you, Gekka, this is cool because we have something fun for you. But you're a pretty serious history buff. Yes. You like, I love reading history. This is cool. I gotta get a geek set down. Get a tweet on that.

Totally false. That'll think it is. I don't think it is. No, I think this one's pretty good. So there was a time when I wasn't working very much. And I subscribed to Ancestry.com, like a 75 year old grandmother. And so I got obsessed with following the history of our family.

It was like, oh, you know, our history of family is cool. And so you go back, couple generations, keeps going back, and it gives you these like, leaf hints, right? This is also getting paid by Ancestry.com right now. And I enjoy driving a Porsche. Never works. And so it just kept going back and kept going back and it was like to the GAC and

BACs and all these different people that we were in and then it always shows war records, right? Like that is said it traces your family history through war records goes all the way back to the revolutionary war and everybody in our family for whatever reason has fought in a war the Russell side the Russell side of the family we get to ten generations back from me his name is Jason Russell Jr. On the first day of the Revolutionary War, a shot heard around the world at Lexington Concord. When the Minutemen retreated, there was a house and they took refuge in the house. They sheltered in the house. The Red Codes surrounded the house, went in, shot everybody in the house, banded at the owner of the house. The red code surround of the house went in, shot everybody in the house,

band-edded the owner of the house 11 times, and it turns out that the owner of that house was Jason Russell Jr., who is our direct lineage great grandfather. That's insane. On that day, it was the bloodiest day of fighting on the first day of the show. If only it had a ring camera. Ding dong! Hello! If only he had a ring camera. Ding dong. Hello. You want to come in?

Nobody here. Well, the joke is, the joke is, it's this patriotic story. He got banded at his door and the story is he came back. And his family, his son's family when he came back. And the red coats came in and the stab him and I was like, well, how do you know he wasn't going to the door and being like, they're in here. They're in here.

They're in there. No, not me. I love the king. I got it. Lisa Kudrow has a lineage show and she approached me a number of years ago. And she said, I want we want to, we find prominent people and we do their lineage. And she and I've been friends for a long time and she said, would you take a swab

and we'll find your lineage? And I said, I promise you, you're not gonna find anything. And she said, Conan, everyone says that, but we always find, no, you're related to Winston Churchill, you're related to, it's so cool, you going to see, and I said, you'll see. Didn't hear from her for six months. And then I call her, and I go, at least I never heard back from you when she went, there's nothing.

She said, what I'll tell you is you're, and she said, we've never seen this before, you're 100, 100, 0.0% Irish. And I got really like, wow. And she said that never happens. So I called my doctor who knows stuff, some stuff about genealogy and gene science. And I said, I'm 100.0% Irish, isn't that great? And he went, no, it means you're in bread. You idiot!

It means your sister's been marrying your brother. And it's true. Like we came over from Ireland, both sides of the family, moved to this tiny little town in central Massachusetts. And people were like, you're a pretty, you're my brother. I don't care. If you don't care. So that's, there's a reason why I've got to prop- All these problems.

Well, maybe we, there could be something there for us. We're from Massachusetts, our history is that. Oh, is that true? Yeah, so, you know, I'll look at you. It was my chance to maybe hook up with a Russell at some point, or someone. We could have been so much cooler. I could have had a film career.

Well, if you go to Rangel E. Maine where we're sort of from, you go to the town, we went for my grandmother's 100th birthday and you literally go around to every house and it's like, on front of the house, it's like, Russell, Philbrett, Russell, Philbrett, Russell, Philbrett, and I'm like, is everybody in this town a Russell or Philbrett? So last night, I was watching this project that you did

together and this fascinates me because, first of all, this thing looks, it's beautifully done, this project. It's funny because you probably grew up in an area where there's in an era, Kurt, where there's TV and then there's film. And I think we're in this world now, where stuff that comes out on TV, streaming, Apple, you look at it and you think this is cinema.

This is, it's so beautifully done. It's just a different world. Well that's what, you know, when this came to us to look at, we were monarch, a legacy of monsters, yeah. And it was Godzilla. It's always, you know, first of all, you know, Godzilla, Godzilla, or, you know, it's like, you know, they're refined to God. And that's what we were in. Yeah, we were like, well, you know, but you know,

so we started talking about it because it was obviously, it could be epic, it could be cool. I'd seen Godzilla when I was probably eight or nine years old and never forgot him, but it just became, you know, the movies are about the monsters, you see them, that's what it is and it's fantastic, you know, in a certain way

for a certain audience, they love it. But we also, you know, when it came to us, we started talking about it. We said, I mean, that's not something we would probably want to be interested in doing because it's just not, I don't know, it doesn't, doesn't hit us. But that was not what they were wanting to do.

They were wanting to look at this thing and take the human condition that was living with it and do a real true sci-fi Where you it's a it's a relatable human experience and there are people who are dealing with this and That was very interesting to us and so yeah, we started talking about it and and I ended up You know ended up doing and loving that we did it because it really the fact that Apple would put this kind of into it, the fact that the showrunner and the head writer were as invested in it as they were, the fact that they really went out to get really good, good actors to do it, made us feel like, yeah, this is something that maybe we should, we should seriously take

a look at them, we'd have the opportunity to do something, nobody had ever done that with two known actors, father and son, playing the same person. That's the part that blows me away is, you are the younger self, you are the... It's like a mature self. It's like a mature. I say mature. Wiser.

Um. Well, but, no, no, somehow less wise. Uh, but it's really cool that you that you're both playing the same character. And so I would think if you're preparing for a role like that, you're going to be eyeing each other. You don't have scenes together because that's not possible, obviously, but you're going to be trying to figure out each other's physicality. I mean, I'm guessing that might be part of it.

That was sort of the unspoken thing that was in the back of our heads the whole time. Right. The thing that was fascinating for me, because why it's going to be different, was first of all the opportunity to watch and work, and how he worked, and the things that it would remind me of, or things that I would learn from him, watching him, but I've never done a character where somebody else was starting it out. It's like, wait a minute, we, watching him, but I've never done a character where somebody else was starting it out. It's like, wait a minute, we talked about this, with the guy not having a big limp, and now I see you limping around.

I mean, okay, so I don't have a limp. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever he lays out there. That's it. Because it's you in the 1950s, whatever he lays out there, you have to pick up on.

So just to be mean to you, he could drool a lot. That's what I mean. That's exactly what I mean. Just rule all the time. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, pick up on that over there. Oh man. I better see that in your role.

That's exactly right. I mean, it's funny, but it's also like, well, okay, I'm going to have to do what, you know, and so the thing about it is that, I don't know why I talk to it, because he really, you know, he's absolutely fantastic in the show and I love seeing the reaction to him in it.

He was gonna establish these things that we were gonna do. So we had to be in line. His rhythm, his, we have idiosyncrasies that are the same, you know, familial things. We knew that those would be there and then we'd work on the look and this and that. But it was really the fact that we have different rhythms.

That was something we were gonna have to deal with, you know. And then when you find yourself in doing that is finding a character that you really wanna play. But I mean, it was fun to go down to his set, watching work. Do you get intimidated at all? I mean, first of all, you know, my dad's a microbiologist, so it's not like he would, you know, but I would say if I knew my dad was in the audience when I was doing a show, it felt like more pressure.

You know, even if there's 7,000 people in the crowd, if I know my dad's there too, because's my dad right felt like a level of but I don't know if you had that when when your dad's watching you Um, I think early on there was a sense of like yeah, well my dad to think that I'm good You know like I'm a good actor or whatever and then there'd be things he'd see or that I'd write and he'd be like Yeah, I was like when in the beginning And so yeah, you always want that to be part of it and he'd be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Like, you'll never, that's an insatiable desire that you cannot quench. And so I really started going down the road of like, well, I really am just gonna do what I wanna do. And like I said earlier, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

And if my dad doesn't like it, like that doesn't mean that it doesn't work, it's just, you know, but he's been always so supportive. It wasn't ever something that they were just great parents. They always wanted us to do well. They were always supportive. And then they also disassociated from it enough to where it was like, it's great work if you can get it. But I'm not going to be in your hair about this stuff all the time. And we never talk about it.

You know, this was the most we'd ever talked about film outside of, you know, being on a movie set. It was like, we had to talk about it a lot because you had to like, make sure the character was congruent and point A to point B, even arc and you got to like hit those spots and stuff like that. So it was really fun to work with them off camera, um, seeing how he, I'd seen how he'd worked all the time when people would come over to the house and I'd be playing a video game or watching Sports

Center or something and you'd hear meetings, right? And then all he ever did in those meetings was try and make the movie better. Never was it about like, me, me, me, it was just not that way. He is, it wasn't the way. And it seemed like a good way to do it because his movies were always cool and people loved them and they were always good. Your movies good, you're gonna be good. And so I took that approach and then as I moved on in my career, that's been good for me and worked for me. And now we were able to do it together and it was awesome. It was really fun to be able to do. Funny story about the God, about getting cast as Godzilla though.

Our doula, who doula for those of you who don't know, they'd help you deliver your child. She was with my wife and I, we were getting the offer to do Godzilla and I have like a relatively large jaw. You can't see it without my beard. Ever since Jason Russell. And so yeah, and my wife goes, yeah, he's gonna do Godzilla. And I'm gonna cook in a Godzilla while it's gonna be in Godzilla.

And the dealer goes, oh my God, he's gonna be so great as Godzilla that chock. I always pictured him with that char. I'm like, I'm not playing you. You're so much such a radioactive lizard. Yeah, like, go, no. No, it would be great if you agreed to it, thinking it was this other thing.

And it's your dad doing all this complex acting and you in a rubber suit. Yeah. You're dad's like, you're doing it. complex acting and you in a rubber suit point. Yeah. You're just like you're doing it. Yeah. You're doing a really good job. Way to go, son.

I'm proud of you. Well, this is, man, this is extremely cool for me because this is a double treat. I've, as you know, long been a huge fan of yours. Uh, and we've talked about it many times, even some of the movies that people don't all know, I've watched those movies like Bone Tomahawk and said, man, I will go see, if you're in it, I go see it and I never regret it. And then as a, to get to meet you, cause I really love your work. I love what you're doing.

And I also, you are so much your own person and, uh, and it, it's very, it's very satisfying for me to like get to meet your, your, your, uh, your son. I keep wandering around the neighborhood because I know you live in your by. And I always see this bearded guy kind of see me and then duck behind a head. Well, next time, next time I'll wear bells and you can hear me. Good. It's like a bear. You're like a bear. I have to make noise around you so you don't attack me. Do you ever see Sandler? Adam Sandler lives in our neighborhood. Adam Bauderl, that's right. And this is what Adam does.

You know, it's L.A. so people are supposed to, you know, you call first You send a text maybe we'll get together at a neutral. It's not like that's a weird thing about L.A. People just don't go over to other people's houses and ring the bell. Like except for Sandler Sandler will come and stand outside my house and go It's like streetcar name desire, he's yelling. And I'll open the door like what? He's like, how's it going buddy? And then he says, everything's the best. It comes off the bass.

It's the bass. Did you know that Kurt Russell and Goldie live like, yeah, that's the bass. You've seen Wyatt heat the bass. You ever had botulism? It's the best. Best of the diseases, buddy. And then he takes off again, yeah. But, thanks for saying that.

I know how hard it is for you to be earnest. I appreciate it. I do not have an earnest bone in my body, but I earnestly am thrilled that you guys, I know you're super busy and to make the time to do this in Miami just makes my day. Makes my week, so thank you so much for doing it here. Let's hear it for these gentlemen right now. Turn white, Russell, thank you. What happens now Blake?

That was so confused. I was so late, cardying. I drank the stuff that was in the glow stick. Yeah, you know, drink that. It doesn't open for reason. Now we're going to take some questions from the audience with your fantastic assistant. These people sound insane. I just want to talk to these people.

That's true. Well, that's what they said about entitlement. I don't buy that at all. It's you glazing over. Yeah, where's my butt load? Exactly. So yeah, so if anybody has a question for Conan, raise your hand.

Yeah, be don't be shy. Don't be shy. Don't be shy. Just don't be the hell. Well, hanging out here in Miami. That's right. Hi, I'm a teacher. I'm a middle school teacher.

What is your name? Tyler. Hey, Tyler, how are you? I'm very good. How are you? You don't pretty good, thank you. Good, good. Thanks a lot.

Next question. All right. You're a middle school teacher. Good for you. I love teachers. There is currently a substitute teacher in my classroom. And if you were the substitute teacher, I want to know what sort of lesson you would do. How would you entertain the children?

Well, how would he spend the day? Okay. I get this rap. It's like, oh, he's so needy. And he needs to try and make everybody laugh. And it's absolutely true. When my kids were little, there was this thing, and you've probably seen this where they get the parents to come in

and read to the class. And so they give you the book, you can't choose the book. So I came in one day and my daughter's like six. And I'm just gonna read this very normal, unfunny, children's book. And I'm reading the book, this very normal, unfunny children's book. And I'm reading the book, and then I realize that there's a little stuffed animal behind my head. And then if I push my head back, the little bunny's head will flip forward. And so I start working the head, and then whipping around, like the bunny is...

And the kids start laughing really hard. And then I start doing stuff with more animals. And then I stop reading the book, and I'm doing bits for the kids, with the animals, and the teacher came over to me and whispered in my ear, just read the book. And I got home, and I told my wife, I was killing.

I was destroying, and she was like, there's six. The problem. I think the problem would be, I've always thought that would be a detriment to me, my being a teacher, is that I, my need to, to get some laughs, would start to interfere with the fact that I'm supposed to be teaching them about safe sex or something. And or whatever. Some important thing they need to know, that would get clouded over and maybe the children would get in the way. I might alter if I was teaching history. I might alter history.

So it was a little funnier. Maybe Lincoln's chasing booth up the street. I would just do these things that I think would probably get me in trouble. So I think it's probably a good thing that I'm not teaching at your school, but I do applaud that you're doing it. I think it's good, and I think I would be a disaster. If I was a substitute teacher maybe just for one day, and then kids would leave and say, what a sad lonely old woman that was. would leave and say what a what a sad lonely old woman that was Please never have that thing come back Thank you. So yeah, you're doing a good job David

Hello, hello, I'm Alex. I'm Alex. I'm from Venezuela. You're from Venezuela. Yeah, oh very good Which which part of Venezuela? I'm Maraka. Okay, near to Caracas. Okay, so good, which part of it as well? Maraka, near Tukaraka. Okay. So, so you recently visited Argentina? Yes, I did. You did a great work with your Spanish. I tried. Yeah.

I'm taping a show for HBO Max. Some of you might know in the past, I've done some travel shows and I've always loved going to other countries where they don't even know who I am and behaving in a way where they laugh at me. I've always thought that was kind of a weird sort of a kind of diplomacy if they see an American who comes over and the joke is on me, you know, and naturally it always is. So we shot a few countries and then we just shot in Argentina. And yeah, I did try to use my Spanish here and there. And I think it got a little better. I learned some Spanish a bunch of years ago and it's fun. I always try to bring it out.

And I've noticed that most people who are Spanish speaking, whether from South America or Central America, they mostly appreciate that someone's trying. I think it's nice to try, even if I'm butchering the language. But I also think it's very beautiful. I sometimes watch Telenovelas. They're don't even, they're speaking so quickly, I don't know what they're saying, but I'm listening to it and I think this language is so beautiful. It's like music, the way French and Spanish

are very, they're musical. And then I think English just must sound terrible. Compared to, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. English and of course, German, you know, is a nightmare, you know. If you're ordering a sausage in a beer, it sounds like you're declaring war. So... But yeah, beautiful language. Yeah, but my question is, you know, the big news, emergency nice, new president, that

was that election happened while it was there. But the dead dog is called Konang and the news is he talked with the dead president. Yeah, that was it. That election happened while it was there. But the dead dog is called Conan and the news is he talked with the dead dog. Yes. Let me explain to the audience just so they know because if anyone's listening right now and doesn't know, that sounds just like babble. What? There's a guy who's running far right. He was running for president. He's pretty out there, he's pretty crazy, he ended up winning. Good thing that could never happen here. Anyway, he loved his dog and so he had his dog cloned like seven times, but his beloved dog's name is Conan. So everyone in Argentina thought that I was there to, you know, to do something about the fact that his dog

was named Conan, and I had to break it to them, that no, I didn't fly for 15 hours, just to walk around and say, I have the same name as your new president's dead dog. So, but yeah, it was a big story there. Well, I'm, my wife and our dog is called Conan for you. So that's, you named your dog after me? Yeah. Well, my wife and our dog is called Conan for you. So that's... You named your dog after me?

Yeah. Well, thank you. He's a George Fantastic. Next to this man wearing a mop on his head, this is the greatest hit by life. He's a George King hot, gray hair like you. And you yell at Conan ever? Like Conan.

Yeah. I mean, that would be triggering for me Conan, why did you shit there? You know? It's what I used to hear all the time till four years ago It's great to talk to you. Well, it's nice to talk to you too, sir Hi, hi Conan. How are you good? How are you? I'm good What's your name Melissa? Hi Melissa. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well My questions were to be in relation to the travel shows is

What is sort of your approach on diffusing some of the more tense situations you get in? Yeah, there's been some episodes where people were not as excited you were there Yeah, yeah, and I feel like you do such a great job of getting everyone on your side and just diffusing that tension and really You know everyone ends up loving you. So well, I don't think they come end up loving me, but they, one of the things that I like is to be real about the situation I'm in. So clearly, I like there to be a lot of comedy, but I don't want to be, I want to do what the reality of the situation. One of the things that really comes to mind is we went to Haiti a bunch of years ago,

after President Trump said some very negative things about Haiti, and we were there, and we were shooting, and it was really lovely, because I went to a school room, and these kids didn't know who I was, but I was acting very silly, and they were laughing, and then I was wearing a short sleeve shirt, and all these kids gathered around, and they were just like, oh my God,

because poor man is dying, and I went, they're frackles. You know. But like I say, it's nice to have the shoe be on the other foot. You know, I'm the odd person out. But there was a moment we were shooting in Port of Prince and there was a group that just saw Miss Tall, white guy with a camera crew and they assumed I was there to make fun of them.

And they were getting really mad. So I went over and I was showing them footage of what I do. And they were clearly they you could see they turned and realized, oh he's like a clown. I mean in a good way I was explaining to them that and I was showing them the work, and they were understanding, and you could see in that moment, it kind of changed. And I thought,

yeah, I really liked that, and clearly, without getting too heavy, there's a lot of people, we're in a time of a lot of division, a lot of anger, and I'm much more interested in trying to find out what I have in common with other people. And I try not to, you know, if I hear how somebody voted or if I hear something about something they tweeted, I try not to go right to, I completely disagree with that person. Instead, I try to figure out what do we have in common, which I think would be, we could all stand to do that a little bit more.

So just take a deep breath and try and think about, what do I have in common with this other person? Because we've just, you know, we're all on this thing together. We're not, there's no other place to go yet until Elon Musk finds a planet. There's no other way to go. So Elon Musk finds a planet There's no other way to go so we might as well try and make that happen. Yeah, thank you. Hi Conan. Hey, how are you? I'm good What's your name Calvin? Hey, Calvin. I'm your my brother. I loved you growing up So thank you for kind of shaping our weird if you could talk to his mother. I figured yeah She just my mother enjoyed you just fine, so I don't know

Got to talk to this woman But my question is you're a writer for the Simpsons. Yeah way back Big fan of the Simpsons as well, but what is like advice you usually give to up a coming especially comedy writers Write what you would want to see do you know what I mean just be Asperational about it. This is a sketch that would really make me laugh if someone saw it. This is an episode of a TV show that would really make me howl if I saw it. Write that. Write for yourself. Make yourself happy. And chances are, that's going to make someone else happy. Don't change yourself too much to try and fit another show. This guy didn't get a chance. Let's

give him a chance right there. Thank you so much for your time. Because I know he's going to give me money at the end. Of course. Of course. Coden Bobby, have a question for you. That's very professional. Look at the way he did that everybody. You call into radio shows a lot, don't you? Of course. Hey Coden Bobby, question. My name is Link by the way. Nice to be you. Nice to meet you too. I'm trying to be as crisp and efficient as you.

Bobby, what you got? Let's go. On the podcast, Matt Gurley has stated that he loves the James Bond and Indiana Jones franchise. Yeah. If you could ruin one for him, which one would it be and why? If I could what? If you could ruin one of them for him. Ruin?

Yeah. Which one would it be and how? Wow, that's really good. Oh, I know what I would do. I would ruin James Bond for him, because I think he truly loves Bond the most. And I would ruin it by becoming the next James Bond. And I would wear that wig over my hair

and totally ruin the franchise. I'd just, you know what I mean? I'd say my name's Bond. Yay! Bond! Ha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la- other James Bond after that. And that would destroy it for Gourley. And also radioactively destroy all the ones that came before it. And I would make sure that I was put into scenes in the in the previous James Bond. So I just lean in and go, has it going? Just totally take you out of the movie. I want to destroy Gourley's life. Thank you. I would watch that. Thank you for that idea. All right, well you guys have been, is that it?

That's it. You guys have been fantastic. You guys have been, and I'll see you in the clubs later. Which club are we going to? What's that? Someone in the airport was like, Coney, you gotta go to 11. Well wait, what's the deal with 11? I don't go to clubs, that's not gonna happen,

but what happens at 11? It's a strip club? I'll see you all there. What time does it open? 20? 24, 7 strip club? Oh my God. 8 a.m.
