Hi, Bajie. Hi, Suvi. How's it going? Great. I love it. You're in Mammoth. I'm in Mammoth. It's the best.

And I've done something that I've never done before, which is just ski an hour and a half and a day because we had to be on here at 930 and the lifts started running at 730 this morning because I guess after the time change, they just adjust it. And so I've got this pass that lets me just sort of ski all I want and Mackenzie was like, you should get up early and go. So I did. How was the first 90 minutes on the slopes?

Incredible. Right. Yeah, I mean, I took like 15 lifts. I got 12,000 vertical feet to those of you who know what that means. It's a big number. The men's and women's Olympic and or Olympic hopeful athletes were on the mountain.

So I saw three women rip through this course, and it was very exciting. Like, they're very cool. And I saw a couple of them at the, at a lift and gave them a thumbs up and they were probably like, all right, old man. But, thanks. Oh, was that good, dude? I thought it was thrilling. So, yeah.

And then also, you know, we've got, you know, we recorded a podcast earlier recording recording this intro now, and so I sent Mackenzie off and got her a massage. Wow. So she could sort of tap out of our little hotel slash condo for the morning. That's nice times. Yeah. And then when we wrap, I've got a day, and Mammoth, we're not going to go ski for the rest of the day. And so we're going to figure out something else cool to do. And I'm very excited. I've never had a day up here where I haven't skied.

Great. Yeah. Awesome outcome. Yeah. I have a quick kid story. Oh yeah. I had a nice one this morning where there's a dish where we soft boil eggs.

And then we, this is something my father-in-law came up with years ago. Then you toast some bread, and you cut up the bread into little like sort of crouton sized pieces of toasted bread, and you put that in a bowl, and then you break the sort of soft boiled eggs over them. So it's sort of like, you know, and then it gets all, you know, yummy bread and egg mites. Called eggs in a bowl. Kids usually like it. And this morning, all three of them, when they saw

that was what was for breakfast, just lost their minds. Excited or? No, so upset. They didn't ask for eggs in a bowl. They don't want eggs in a bowl. And so it was this real push and pull. And then finally, they agreed to start eating their eggs in a bowl and immediately realized they liked it. And then there was a lot of fights over who got more bread in their eggs in a bowl. And there was a moment where Ash tried to take a piece of bread out of Addy's eggs in a bowl.

And then she yelled at him and Axel took a full spoonful of eggs in aable and threw it at Ash as retribution for his sister. Full disaster. And then Alexi finally calms everybody down and says, can we all just try to remember for next time that everybody here likes Exinable? And Addie and Ash both said yes. And then Axel just sort of leaned back and goes, I bet we're going to forget. Just really.

He's just like, yeah, it's all just words, lady. Yeah. I think it's gonna go down exactly the same way next time. Also, Axel was very excited because his second grade teachers do a thing every year where it's a week where they turn the classroom into an airplane. And so it's basically second grade airlines.

And they go to a different entrance and they are met, their teachers come out dressed like airline pilots. And so today is Italy. So the whole day will be them finding out and getting taught about Italy, but they get like tickets at the door. And it was Axel was so excited. And you for Axel's birthday, tell everybody what you sent him. A tuxedo.

Axel loves to dress up. And so Josh sent him a tuxedo. And so this morning he came into our room wearing shorts, sneakers, a blue button-up, a tuxedo jacket that he had pinned a pair of airline wings he had gotten the last time he flung. And he's like, honey, I don't think you want to wear a tuxedo jacket. He goes, I do, I'm going on a big twip. And so he was just the coolest dude walking to school today, wearing his tuxedo jacket because he was going on a fake airplane. Yeah. Well, I bought him the tuxedo because we were,

I was with you guys for a weekend earlier in the year. And we were going to a party and he was desperately looking for a shawl. Yeah. He wanted to wear a shawl. So I knew he likes some high class, he wants to look good. But what he put together that day was like a bathrobe, some weird hat, it was a real mishmash.

And I was like, well, I'll just get him like a nice, tight, good-looking, very cheap tuxedo that he could wear just as a kit. He could just throw it on. But I like that even with that, he went mix and match. Oh, he's going to fully mix and match. Also, he's been helping Addie get dressed. Addie's very headstrong about what she's going to wear. And it drives Alexi crazy because Alexi has curated this incredible closet of very cute girl clothes.

It's a mom's dream come true to finally have a daughter you can dress up and Addie just wants to do her own thing, very much like Axel. So of course, Axel is very helpful and goes in and she's like, give me these socks. And he's like, okay. And I guess Alexi told me last night, you know, I talked to a friend of mine and she said,

I just have to let go. You know, Addie's freedom is really important. So I'm going to just let her get dressed and I'm not going to fight it. And then Addie came out wearing a white tank top and a pair of see-through black tights, which just you could fully see her butt. And Alexis is like, I'm stepping in. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But pretty fun. Pretty fun morning at the old Meyers household. Yeah. Oh, great. Very fun conversation coming up as well.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I've always been a big fan of Jillian Bell. She's great. Great convos. Britney Runs the Marathon is a movie that I think a lot of people probably don't know about. It is a home run. Yeah. It's a really funny movie. It's really funny, real fun. Yeah. I loved it.

If you haven't seen that, see that. But also she's got a new movie that she's just directed called The Summer of 69, and she's the best. So do enjoy that conversation. Thanks everybody for being here. Chips with the Myers Brothers. Family chips with the Myers Brothers. Here we go. Hello.

Hello. Hi. Hello. How are you? I'm good, oh my gosh, it's so good to see that you guys have the same faces. Hello. How are you? I'm good, oh my gosh, it's so good to see that you guys have the same faces. Yeah. If you needed a side by side confirmation,

this will do it. Yeah, yeah. I think we, because we lived in different cities for a long time, I think our looks started to diverge, but once we started doing a podcast together, now we basically are just interchangeable. It's coming together. Yeah.

Did you go through a period where people would think, you guys are not twins, correct? Yeah, two years. Two years apart. Yeah, my sister and I are five years apart. And it was like four years in our life where people were like twins. And we're like, no, no. Some people, some people think, yeah, some people confuse us for each other. And yeah, I feel like someone said once we were look alike,

non-twins, but to me, we don't look that much alike, but certainly to the rest of us. I've always said, if you see one of us, if you haven't seen either of us for five years and you see the other one, it's perfectly within the realm of possibility that you would think you were talking to the other one. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm engaged to someone who's a twin. Oh, hi, Jinx. I know. I know, but my guy has like bleach blonde hair, so you can definitely tell them apart. Do you think that he made choices like that throughout his life just because of the fact that he had a doppelganger?

Probably, although I think he watched a movie where Clive Owen had bleached blonde hair and he's like, that's cool. I mean, if you're gonna get it from someone, Clive Owen's a bad guy. Clive Owen's the one to steal it from. Now I kinda wanna know what movie Clive Owen has bleached blonde hair.

I'm sure we could Google it. But were they identical twins? No, they're fraternal, but they look so much alike. I'm sure we could Google it. But were they identical twins? No, they're fraternal, but they look so much alike. I mean, now, they're very different to me now, but at the beginning I was like, wow, you're wearing your face. Are there pictures of them when they're younger?

Like, would they dress the same? Yes. They were both total rock stars. So they have like the strokes look, like they have big curly hair and the skinny jeans and they were in a band and they're still in the band. Where were they from? They're from Manchester, actually.

England or New Hampshire? Okay. We're near Manchester, New Hampshire, so that would have been just jarring. Ah! Yeah. So that's amazing. We just had, so I met your husband at the almost-

Fiance, fiance. Fiance, excuse me. Yeah. Hey, I don't mind. Yeah, but I mean, there's a lot of planning. I got married recently and I know there's- Congratulations. There's a difference, you'll feel it.

Yeah, there's a huge difference. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I almost called the movie, it's kind of pregnant. Kind of pregnant, yes. I almost said almost pregnant, which is a weird movie. Nobody wants to say almost pregnant. Kind of pregnant. But I saw you at the premiere and I met your husband, fiance, sorry, Posh.

Yes. Right, I need to make the same mistake. I felt like I maybe didn't notice that accent because that's one of my favorite accents. Well, so he lived there, you know, until like nine or something, and then he moved to the OC. So it's like a very interesting combination.

The Manchester to OC pipeline that Ray's always talking about. So there's like a little bit of like a surfer thing, and then he'll say tomato, and you're like, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. So there's just like little dips. Based on who I met, I certainly, if you gave me the two options of Manchester, England

or the OC, I would have said the OC. Yeah, yeah. I heard on another podcast, a dude from New Zealand, he said tomato tomato. And I wonder if that's the expression you always say the way you say it first. Oh. Oh, that's interesting.

And I don't know, like, would your husband say tomato, tomato, or would he say husband? There I go. Look at you. Look at you guys. You really want me to be married. Fiance. Everyone does.

Everyone does. Fiance. We've all been rooting for it. Now it's coming. Yeah. Well, especially now that we know his interesting backstory. Don't let this one get away. You think you're going to find another guy from Manchester, England who grew up in the OC? but now it's gone. Yeah. Well, especially now that we know his interesting backstory. Don't let this one get away.

You think you're gonna find another guy from Manchester, England who grew up in the OC? If this one leaves, you're done. Oh my gosh. He's going to be so nervous that we're talking about him this much. I know, we haven't even talked about you. Have you gone to Manchester, England with him?

No, not yet. So that's the big one. We gotta go do that. I've never been there and I would very much, not yet. So that's the big one. We got to go do that. I've never been there and I would very much like to go. I would like to go too. Are we going on a trip? You guys. We just had, last night we taped,

this will be on later, but Amy Lou Wood, who is in White Lotus. Yeah. She is so good. And she's from Manchester. And that is that accent where I'm just like, oh, this is like nothing else. When you find when you hear a new British accent, I mean, not new to obviously people who live there, but I've been a lot of Mancunian accents on television.

My, to keep it going on my fiance, not my husband. If you think I don't know that woman's from Manchester, every single thing is like, do you know where she's from? Oh, do you love Simply Red? Guess where they're from. Like, I mean, everything. The interesting thing is, I mean, she sort of had, she was the sliding glass doors of your husband's life, fiance, which is she auditioned doing a California accent. Oh, interesting. And then they said, actually do it again with the accent, your natural accent.

And it's a far more interesting character to me, the point she made. I cannot wait to watch the finale this Sunday. Yeah, we're ready. I think I'm gonna wait two days just so I can ruin every single person. I'll be like, I haven't seen it. It's so fun when there's a show where you're just a full jerk

if you don't watch the White Lotus finale when it airs. If you want to live in the world that you live in, you got to watch it. Yeah. I know I can't. Well, the problem is the Instagram or Twitter or anything. Yeah. Well, just stay off those things.

Yeah. Yeah. Good luck. Well, Josh is actually good. Like, when Josh says just don't do a thing, he's so stubborn that he can actually do it. Are you a tourist? No, I'm a Capricorn.

Okay. Yeah. I thought you said a tourist. I thought you said tourist as well. And I was like, and I was trying to think of why that was a burn, I was like, what? Were you a tourist? You're not from around here?

But are you a tourist? Yeah. Oh, I don't know if you know how we do things here, but we look at Twitter. From in our country. Or we watch White Lotus right when it comes out. You grew up in Vegas. I did.

So what is, I mean, again, was it because of the Vegas Vegas or were you sort of the civilian Vegas that operates outside of Sin City? I was definitely civilian Vegas. Like I was in Henderson, Nevada, which is like, it's like 15 minutes from the strip. But basically my school was in proper Las Vegas. My dad worked at a casino off and on,

and like the strip was a part of your life if you grew up there. It is funny though that most people will be like, what hotel did you live in? And I'm like, no, that's not the actual way people live. When you were a teenager, would you like was going to the strip something that you would do?

Like we used to go to like the mall,, was going to the strip something that you would do? Like, we used to go to like the mall, we'd bike to the Bedford mall, but you had a sort of bigger option. Oh, yeah. My friend Sabrina was the first one to get her driver's license. And so we would just cruise the strip. We would just drive up and down it over and over again. And we would yell at the guys who were handing out like porn pamphlets.

Like this was being 16 in Vegas and I've always wanted to write a movie about prom in Vegas because it's so specific. Like you, at least at my high school, you go to a Vegas show. So you would see like Siegfried and Roy or I saw Blue Man Group. And then you go to the dance for like 20 minutes. You take pictures, dance one time, and then you leave and you go to a hotel room. And everyone's staying at a hotel room. Like we all stayed at the Luxor. And it's like just as specific, it's such a weird prom. Right. It's so funny because if you saw, if you were in Vegas as a tourist, now I'm confusing

that like husband and fiance. But if you saw a bunch of prom kids, I think my first thought would be like, what, who flies to Vegas for their prom? Because even I forget that of course Vegas also has a society where there are children who are seniors in high school. Growing up there, yeah. I remember too, like, you know, my sister's, one of my sister's first doctors that she went to was in Caesar's Palace.

Like there's things that I'm like, oh yeah, that was normal for us or all of, I remember going to the first, you know, grocery store or CVS in a different state. And I was like, where are the slot machines? I just thought that was a part of every grocery store and CVS. So there's definitely specifics about it that it also ruined Elvis for me. Like Elvis was such a joke in Vegas, kind of. Like it was like, here's all these cheesy guys wearing rhinestone suits as opposed to being like,

oh, is this like amazing artist? You grew up and you're like, you know, he wasn't that amazing. There's like 300 of him. Yeah, I'm like, I don't know why in my head I'm like, you know, like Mr. Bean. Like, it's just like 300 of him. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know why in my head I'm like, you know, like Mr. Bean. Like, it's just like a funny character.

It's so funny. That is maybe the meanest thing I've ever. If somebody told him that, he would die on a second toilet. He would. He would. You're kind of like the Mr. Bean of Memphis. Of Vegas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of Memphis. Yes, Memphis.

Now, to me it's so funny, and I kind of guess I knew it was true, but a slot machine in a CVS is very funny because that, you know, I understand the fun of going to a casino and gambling, but the idea that like, I'll go pick up my prescription, obviously take a few spins. But yeah, I guess that's the thing, when you legalize gambling, like CVS isn't gonna like not want a taste of it. Yeah, they're like, okay, pick up your Twizzlers,

your prescription for, I don't know, something that helps you not gamble and then go. If they, well. Take your pill and then in a half an hour before it kicks in, throw all your money away on this one. Imagine how fast the gambling industry would shut down a pill that made you not want to gamble.

Yeah, that would be who killed the electric car. Ozempic might, right? I was going to say there's Zep-bound, Ozempic, all of those types. They're finding that it really helps with addictions, all kinds of addictions. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next thing to really be advertised. Wow. Real quick on the prom front when you're at the Luxor, do you, does like, do all your friends get rooms

on the same floor? Is, does like a floor turn into the party or because you can only fit so many people into a room or are you hanging out with like just your friends or is it like you're, you know, leaving your room to go down to Bill's room and then you're going over to Karen's room? I feel like there's like probably too many kids still in each room, but we have like three. Yeah. So it's like here's the loud zone of the Luxor that everyone's probably just like,

oh man, I'm next to the teenagers that just went to their prom. Screaming, we're gonna live forever. Spare a thought for the prom organizers who basically just get you monsters to roll in for 20 minutes only. I know. Just hanging all those banners. Just all blowing up all those balloons. Yeah, that's what they do. Do you think that was year in and year out?

They kind of, yeah, this is gonna be 20 minutes. It has to be. It has to be. I should ask Brietta, my sister, if she had the same experience, but I feel like this has been like an ongoing tradition for a long time. And it's like how Vegas has drive through wedding chapels. You guys did it for the prom.

Yeah, exactly. Is it drive through auditorium? Yeah. Take a picture, take a picture. Okay. Quickly, quickly. See you. Hey, we're going to take a quick break

and hear from some of our sponsors. Support comes from Delete Me. Yeah. Take a picture, take a picture, okay. Quickly, quickly. See you. Go. Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. Support comes from Delete Me. Hey, Bashe. Hey, Sufi. Would you be happy to know that Delete Me makes it easy, quick, and safe to remove your personal data online at a time when surveillance and data breaches are common enough to make everyone vulnerable?

Yeah. Yeah, good. Well, it does. And I'm someone who's online. And the last thing I want is for someone to steal my identity. Yeah? Yeah, good. Well, it does. And I'm someone who's online. And the last thing I want is for someone to steal my identity. And then maybe they go and they start posting as me that the Grand Canyon's worth it. Yeah, I think a lot, some of the worst things, if I think about having, you know, my identity

stolen or whatever, but like other people's identities could be stolen because of vulnerabilities that you put out there. Family members' names could be out on the internet, and those kinds of things could have actual consequences in the real world for you and for your family members. And then how bad would you feel if it was kind of your fault that you were playing fast and loose with people's info? And again, I think we both have this same dad who gets hacked almost all the time. Yeah, I mean more and more online partisans and nefarious actors will find this data and use it to target political rivals, civil servants, and even outspoken citizens

posting their opinions online. That's hardcore stuff.

Hey Sufi. You know there's a lot of people I know who love going to church, they love going to synagogue, and yet there are other people who step away from religion. You know, they just realize, this isn't for me and I don't have to keep doing it. Yeah, and that's okay. It's totally okay, but the problem is not everybody thinks it's okay. Christian nationalism is on the rise and they're working overtime to shove their beliefs into our laws, our schools, and even our personal lives.

We are producing partners together. So she lives in LA as well? We live together still. And she's married and so we're now going to go our separate ways.

But it's like truly troubling me because I'm like, oh my god, we've lived together. We're just so close, but we share an office. We'll see each other plenty. But yeah, she's definitely one of my soulmates. Five years though is a gap. So at what point did you guys kind of close the age gap and become close friends, or did the age gap never matter?

Never mattered. You know, obviously when we were young, it's pretty noticeable, but I feel like we, I just always made her laugh. I was always a little bit more mature. And so I liked hanging out with her friends or, you know, doing stuff. And she was nice enough to not be like, oh, you're so annoying, go away.

And I mean, we have had our fights. I actually, this is a family trip story, I will say. Get into it. Josh loves it when you bring, this is a family trip story, I will say. Get into it. Josh loves it when a guest doesn't need prompting. Okay, well here we go. Great. And by the way, I was going over stories with her

because I was like, what am I, am I remembering stories of like us traveling? And she's like, all the stories that involve her make her look like such an asshole. So when we were little, we would always go to Laguna Beach. So it was like a four-hour drive from Vegas. So we had some time. My mom and dad in the front seat and we're in the back. And my sister obviously got bored and she decided to pull a joke on me for about a year and a half, two years, which was every time we would go on road trips, she pretended she had multiple

personalities. So she would just be sitting there and I'd look over at her and she would start closing her eyes and I'm like, no, Brianna, no. And she's like, I'm sorry. And then she would open her eyes and be like, hello, Jillian. And she would be this like evil woman. That was one. The second one was like a young kid. And then the third one was named Bobby. And Bobby was pretty normal.

He was just a dude. Right. And it was so funny because when she would come back into her body, she would be like, don't tell mom and dad, they're going to put me in an insane asylum. So for two years, I thought my sister was insane. Or just had multiple personality disorder, which yeah. Which is not insane. But certainly she was afraid it counted as insanity.

It's adjacent. Yeah. She was. So I don't know how I finally found out, but like for years I was like, she has a disorder. And I think maybe if you were like, hey, how come all your other personalities are always saying hello, Jillian?

How do they know me? Yeah, how do they? I think it might be you this whole time. What ages were you at this time? Oh my gosh. I probably was like seven. Yeah. She was seven.

So that means Breanne was 12, Bobby was 19, the old lady was 85. Oh, let's be real. When you're kids, you think an old woman is like 38. Yeah, it's the, oh, that is the worst. My, I think I've said this, but I'm one of the older dads in my son's class. And the other day, my son goes, you know, you're older. And I go, I know. And he goes, but I think you look really good for 50. And I was like, what do you know about what's good for 50? You don't know. You don't know. By the way, I do.

By the way, thank you. But thank you. And then did you say that or did someone else, and if so, thank them? Uh, were you, where did you guys go when you took trips? Honestly, mostly to, like, around the OC, mostly Laguna Beach. There was one time we went to, I think it was like my dad's 40th or 50th high school reunion.

He's from Hamilton, Montana. So we went out there and we decided to, I was shooting something at the time. So I was like 23, 24. And I met them out there and then everybody was going to do a family drive back from Hamilton, Montana to Las Vegas. So it was like a trip. And this is the other story where Brianna's like, I'm an asshole. So we're doing this trip and we're stopping at all these cute little places and it's not like a dispenser, but I guess so. Outside of a grocery store where you put in like a quarter and you can get like a funny sticker or like a gummy type of toy. Well, there was some where it was like all these kid tattoos. So I was like, well, I'm buying one of those. And so I bought one and I put it on my leg. And it was a pretty giant tattoo of the Hulk. And I just thought it was really funny to have it. And

Brianna decided that she would not go into restaurants with me. So we were going to a diner and she said she refused and she sat in the car because I had a Hulk tattoo on. And when I asked her why, she said, because you're trash. And I think it was because, and she told me this now, like, I think it was like around the time, oh, maybe this was right. No, it must have been 25. It was right around the time Workaholics was coming out and she just thought people would see it and make judgments about me. And so she was being protective, but she was being protective in the meanest way possible. I know.

I was like, what? Also, it feels like she's being protective of herself because she's just stayed in the car and didn't want to get a paparazzi with the whole tattoo girl. I know, I'm like, no one is in Montana taking pictures of me. Like, that still doesn't happen, so we're good. Is there any part of you that kind of wants a Hulk tattoo on your leg?

Oh my God, Josh. She would be devastated. That's the funniest thing I could do. I mean, it'd be such a like, and people would be like, why do you have that? She pranked me so good one time. And for years I've been like, I need to get her back. So maybe that's what I do. The only thing I'll say, Jillian, is you would be

pranking yourself a little bit too. Yeah. Like it would also be a very good prank if your sister like drugged you and got you a Hulk tattoo. Right. That is pretty good. There's a little bit of like a Steve-O getting a tattoo. Yeah, it is. Just because you mentioned Workaholics, I do because it always makes me laugh that your character in Workaholics was Jillian Belk.

Yes. It's just one letter off for my actual name. You're like, I have a lot of range. That's not me. I know. I do think Jillian Belk has a real Hulk tattoo. Oh, for sure. Jillian Belk has multiple tattoos. But it's a Hulk, it's a Hulk tattoo.

Yeah, it's not the Hulk, it's the Hulk. It's the Hulk. In that alternative universe where you're Jillian Belk, you have a Hulk tattoo. Yeah, I will say too, like once that came out, there was a lot of people being like, Jillian, and I'd go, yeah, yeah. And then I hugged them because I'm always nervous

I don't remember someone. They're like, we've never actually met. And I'm like, oh, damn it. And now it just looked like I just hugged everybody. I went to the Broadway show the other day. And in the lobby, a woman went, Hey, Seth. And I was like, hey, and she was like, Lucy.

And I was like, hey. And then I gave her a hug, and then she's like, we actually don't know each other. And I was like, it's certainly the way you said Lucy. Yeah, that's on Lucy. That's on Lucy. I was like, I feel like you trapped me into a friendly hug. Yeah, that's on Lucy. That's on Lucy. I was like, I feel like you trapped me into a friendly hug.

Yeah. Well, that doesn't take anything away from you. No, it doesn't take anything away from me. Giving out a nice friendly hug. I mean, now I'm regretting that I very loudly in the lobby was like, this woman trapped me. You all saw it. You all saw it.

Yeah, take your phones out. I don't care. There's so many videos of you online. A lot of videos. It's almost impossible for me to go out without someone taking a video of me losing my mind. Did you spend any time up in Montana or did you basically fly in just to drive home?

We flew in, we spent some time. Like I'm a person who loves going to the little like or did you basically fly in just to drive home? We flew in, we spent some time. Like I'm a person who loves going to little like knick-knack stores, little vintage shop. I love all that stuff. Like I have around my house, all these little hidden dogs. I have like tiny little ceramic dogs

that are just hidden in different areas, different breeds, but they make me so happy. It's like these little things. So I love going into little shops like that. Montana is full of stuff like that. So I did a lot of that. And you sit outside and you breathe the fresh air. It's just so beautiful. I really wish we had gotten property up there because it's such a good escape. And then, yeah, but then we were there for like, this high score unit for my dad. And it's so interesting to see like, the people who stayed in Montana,

like my dad was, you know, talk about being a dad and being like, am I the old dad? I'm the young dad. He looks so much younger than everyone because he like went to Vegas and I don't know, had a fun life and. It is so funny too because I feel like I would have believed either one,

which is like, oh, you know, Montana, big sky, God's country. You live there, clean living in Montana. And it's like, no. Yeah. You'd actually, you actually have to go to Sin City and be like, I gotta keep it tight. Keep it active.

Yeah, keep it active. Being around other people is a good way to stay young. My dad took me on some of my favorite trips ever, which is when we were pretty young, probably seven, eight, when my sister was telling me I had multiple, probably seven, eight, when my sister was telling me she had multiple personalities. My dad would do this thing where he would wake me up on a weekday morning,

and before I was getting ready for school and say, "'Do you wanna go to Disneyland?' And I go, "'What?' And he's like, "'We'd have to go to Disneyland? And I go, what? And he's like, we'd have to go right now. And we would pack up a little bag for the day, run through the airport, just making it on time into the plane, like go to Disneyland. And of course, now that I'm older, I'm like, oh, he had the whole thing planned for forever. But like, because he was doing that and it felt

so spur of the moment, it was my, I honestly always tell people that are, you know, fathers or mothers, like, I'm like, do stuff like that with your kids, because it means the world to them. And it just makes such an impact. And it was day, it was like those specific days were just running around Disneyland, going on rides with my dad and like getting that big lollipop that they have there, the big hard one and passing out on the plane ride home and just like, I mean, but so much better than just being like stuck in school all the time.

Yeah, it would have been such a bummer for your dad if you were like, I have a math test. I'm like, oh no, I think I'll go. Today, now. No, I'm good. Yeah. It is, and also there's a certain age where it's wrong to do, but I feel like,

certainly my kids right now, there's nothing major they're missing in school. Where I do. Yeah, they're like, how old are they? Nine, seven, and three. Oh my gosh, I thought, you have three kids. Yeah. Ah, do you love it?

It's outstanding. Really? Outstanding. Also our third one just fully, it's like she read the room and realized exactly what energy would work. Amazing. I think she,

She's a treat. There's a sense where she was like, oh, if I'm a certain way, it's a tipping point and these two people can't be married anymore, or Yes, yes. I behave the way I have behaved. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh.

One day the other shoe will drop with her, but right now we really appreciate her service. Really good. She's doing great. She really is, yeah. I do. She's doing great. She really is. She really is, yeah. I do wanna shout out your parents' names, Ron and Tansy. Yes.

Because that is exactly what I want a Vegas couple's name to be as they're raising two girls. And Ron strikes me, Vegas Ron is definitely a guy who like is just waking up his daughter, crack of dawn, being like, let's go to Disneyland. Oh, absolutely. Vegas Ron was the best. And Tansy might, so my mom's name is actually Constance. But my mother or my grandmother, who she would hate if I called her that, my Nana, would

call her Constanza and then it became Tansy. So, but yeah, I put that name in a show that I wrote, Idiot Sitter, with my buddy, Charlotte Newhouse, that was like, the stepmother's name was Tansy, because I'm like, it's too good of a name, I never hear it. Oh yeah, Tansy, it's so good. It is evocative, I don't know quite of what,

but I feel like when I hear Tansy, I have a certain expectation of how that person's gonna behave. Oh, absolutely. I won't haveansy, I have a certain expectation of how that person's gonna behave. Oh, absolutely. I won't have it exactly, but my good friend Rob Benedict was cast once in a movie, and I think the movie was called Tansy,

and he was gonna play Tansy, who was like half man, half plant. And then he made all these plans, and then it either fell apart, or someone else got cast in it, and the name Tansy is just gonna tear him up. But I love that it was like the one that got away, which probably was like fine that it got away, but it was early in his career.

Yeah, I feel bad because my mom took the role. Well, she deserved it. They were like, it'll just be easier if we get a Tansy. Yeah, and she's half plant, so it just made it really easy. Because you, and this happened later in life when you had already played Jillian Belk, and so you'd been like, it's really easy, Mom, but I would recommend you only play people with your name

or one letter off. Yeah, every time I get a role, I'm like, could it be Jillian? That's just a lot easier for me to remember to turn my head and look at the person for calling me my real name. What, so did your, who made the move to LA first? You or your sister?

My sister. She went to USD, so she was in San Diego, and then she went to Los Angeles, and just on a whim, like she was like, this might be fun. And then she called my parents and was like, I was going to UNLV for like a semester. And she's like, she needs to come out here and start trying if she wants to be an actor.

Like, she needs to start now. And I'll live here, I'll stay, so she'll have me here. And then my sister, yeah, so I moved out when I was 18 to LA. And then my sister started working in a talent agency so she could help me with my career. Wow. I'm telling you, we're really close.

It's gonna be so hard when you move out. I almost want you guys to get like a compound. I know, I know. I keep thinking that too. I'm like, where? I keep looking around my neighborhood to be like, is that house available? Just because we love being close, but. I mean, it feels like she has more than made up

for both her overreaction about the Hulk tattoo and the multiple personality bit. Yeah, see, I even did out. So she came out the hero somehow in this podcast. Somehow. Somehow. Somehow. So, but that is an incredible call to make

as an older sister. I mean, it's really touching that she knew when you were that age, what path you should take. But if your parents consented to it, they must've known as well. They did. They, I think that my mother, because my mother didn consented to it, they must have known as well. They did. I think that my mother, because my mother didn't go to college,

so she was a little bit more open to this path. And so funny, my mom still brings this up. She saw me in taming of the shrew. I played the shrew in high school and she was very impressed. So I think she was like, I think this kid's got something. My dad was always very supportive, but he was a little bit more traditional and I think he had a lot of influence from some of his guy buddies being like, she should be in school. So I think there was a little bit of that

going on, but he was, I had said to them, look, I'll come out to LA for what would be a semester of college, and then I'll come back. And then I auditioned for Kelly Osborne music video and I didn't get it. And I was like, I'm never coming home. Like this is the life. I didn't get it.

You didn't get it and that was enough of a taste. No, it was enough of a taste. I was like, Papa, don't preach, I'm not going home. I like too that he's like, why, did something good happen? You're like, no, the opposite. The opposite. I ended up working at a talent agency for like five or six years after that.

And because my sister worked there as well. So I worked as the receptionist and then assistant in many different departments. But I learned the other side of it and how hard agents work and also what not to do if you're an actor or what to do. Do they? They do work hard. Do they work hard?

But I think that's like, they work. I don't wanna say this in a shitty way, I'm saying like, there's a reason you make 90% and they make 10, right? Like they are working hard, but you have to be working harder. So that's what I learned. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel, I always think like, it must be so hard to dodge my calls

as much as my agent does. I'm just like, the amount of effort he puts into that. Constantly like, oh, sorry. Just like the excuses they make up. It's amazing. I left an agent once and was like very emotional because I had been with him for so long and called. And I was like, hey, I'm just going to go somewhere else.

And he was like, okay. And I was like, hey, I'm just going to go somewhere else. And he was like, okay. And I was like, oh, right. I have one agent and you have, I don't know how many clients. And he was like, goodbye. And I was like, oh, geez. Oh my God. That was like a breakup where I was, yeah. Oh, the anticipation.

It hurt how little you were affected. Yeah, oh my gosh. I like, yeah, I was really. I had that too. I've had that too where I called it. I'm like, and I'm so sorry. And they're like, oh no, you my gosh. I like, yeah, I was really. I have that too. I've had that too where I called it. I'm like, and I'm so sorry. And they're like, oh no, you should leave. It's time.

And I was like, oh, okay. They said, do you want me to write you a letter? And I go, no, I'm good. A letter. A letter of recommendation. I was like, no. I once was like close on a movie, didn't get it. And then I also was like, my head, I was like, you know,

if I don't get this, I do feel like I got to switch something up because I had just. And so it was a manager, but I called the manager and I sort of always felt like they weren't totally tuned into what was going on in my career. And so I called him up and I said, I'm going to move on. He goes, this is a very bad time to do it. And I'm like, I just feel really strongly. He goes, do you know how close you are to getting this movie?

And I said, oh, I heard earlier today I didn't get the movie. And he was like, oh, all right. Well, all right, I guess you should go. He was like, I think based on everything that's happened on this call, you're probably making the right choice. I had the best call one time from, so around the time that they were doing the female Ghostbusters, there was like,

I guess I was kind of in the mix. I ended up having a meeting with someone and I was like, oh, it's looking like it might happen. And right after that happened, I got a call and it was like, the assistant being like, we've got this person, we've got this person on the phone. Like we have your agents, we have your lawyer and your manager. And I'm like, Oh my God, I got this female Ghostbusters. And they got on there like, Hey, we just all wanted to get on the phone to let you know it's not going your way. And I was like, why is everyone here?

Why did everyone have to call? We just all wanted to hear you react emotionally at once. They're like, is she crying? Can we hear is she crying? I was like, no, but that's fine. Yeah, they only all call together when it's good news. Yeah, they were like, they are naming one of the characters Jillian. I think that was, to be kidding, it was Jillian.

You were like, this one, it's gotta be me. They're like, we actually just met with you because we wanted to get a sense of how the name sounds.

Pashi. Sufi. Last year, you jumped ahead of me in line. Yeah. And Alexi was so mad because she said, I told you to do that. I told you to do that first. And what you did first was, for Mother's Day, you got mom an aura frame loaded up with photos.

I just visited home, the things right there in her kitchen counter. Every time the photo changes, she yells out what it is. Yeah, it's great. And every time the photo changes, she yells out what it is. Yeah, it's great. I mean, when I'm home looking at mom's aura, I will take pictures that are on the frame to send them to my wife, Mackenzie,

because they might just be pictures that we've forgotten about or that we're not displaying. And with an aura frame, you're sort of always displaying all of your favorite pictures. And you know, I'm on a trip right now and I took some great pictures of Mackenzie and I and I just blasted them right over to mom's frame. So she's going to have them and they might appear this afternoon, tomorrow, who knows, but they're going to appear and she's going to see them and it'll bring her a lot of joy.

But this is my impression of her watching the aura frames pictures change. There's Poshy! There's my impression of her watching the Aura Frames pictures change. There's Poshy! There's my Poshy! There's Poshy! There's you. Is that Dad or you? That's me.

But it's my reality. Come on, let's be honest. It was Dad. There's you. There's bad Yary. Well, great news everybody. Aura has a great deal for Mother's Day. For a limited time, listeners can save on the perfect gift by visiting AuraFrames.com

So you would take, I guess Vegas being a hub as it was, like you could take a short flight, you could go to Disney World or Disneyland. Yes, Disneyland. Were there, did you guys ever fly east for anything? When was the first time you went to New York City?

To audition for SNL. That's great. Wow. What a great reason. And it's because I told my parents I wasn't going to go to New York unless I was auditioning for SNL. That's great. What a great reason. And it's because I told my parents I wasn't going to go to New York unless I was auditioning for SNL. Well, you held it back. That's a real, I'm gonna stay in the Carl Hulk tattoo.

Let me spoil it for you guys. I did not get it, but I did get to write there. You were? I was a writer there. I was the best. I remember you coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was so nervous and I thought I didn't get it

because you guys just kept asking me normal questions as opposed to like looking at my sketches. I felt like it was like a red flag meeting. That's what I always said of like, cause you're like, oh, are you close with your family? Like those were the questions. I think it was, I mean, that's kind of accurate. Yeah.

You know, I think by the time we thought we wanted to hire somebody as a writer, especially if we thought they had a really funny audition, because again, you write your own audition. So we feel like we've seen a good sense of it. But I think there was a red flag meeting is a good way of putting it. I would have said like vetting a personality.

Right, right. Cause I remember I like brought us like a binder full of sketches and I was like, oh, and I just like had that next to me and then took it back with me and so I thought I like brought us like a binder full of sketches and I was like, oh, and I just like had that next to me and then took it back with me and so I thought I wasn't. That by the way, you almost blew it on that when we were like, yeah. Lauren was like, how was she in the meeting?

I'm like, she had this binder she kept taking out, putting back in her bag, taking out. So I think that- I feel like I read somewhere that Will Ferrell did that with Lauren with like a briefcase though, right? Didn't he have a briefcase? He brought a briefcase full of money to his first meeting with Lorne.

And he was gonna put it on the table. He was gonna put it on the desk at the end and say, I don't know if this will help. Yeah. To make up your mind. But then same thing, I think he realized like, oh, this is actual, this is real now. Right. And they're not, nobody, these are not meetings

where everybody's gonna be like, what was the funniest thing they did in the meeting? Truly, it's just like, are you a cool person to hang out with or whatever. And then I don't know, I doubt you remember this, but you called me later that day to tell me I got the job, but I had just been walking around Midtown. So I went to like the wax museum

and I was at Magnolia Bakery downstairs getting a slice of cake because I thought I didn't get it. And you called and you go, you go, hey, what are you doing? And I go, I'm buying cake. And you go, what? And I go, just what's going on with you? Every, I like that every single step you were trying to tell us, like, oh, so maybe not.

Yeah, maybe don't go with me. Because I probably was like, wait, are you already celebrating? You're like the opposite. No, the opposite. It's sad cake. I was drowning my sorrows. Cake works for everything.

Yeah, cake works for everything. I was just going back to the Wax Museum to have like a slice of cake with, you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger or something. We hired a writer for late night and it was, you know, I remember I was meeting with people in my SNL office. And it was somebody that our head writer Alex Baze had found on Twitter and we kind of assumed he was a comedy writer because he was so funny on Twitter and we called him in for a meeting

and we found out he lived in Peoria, Illinois. He literally was like a guy with a funny Twitter account who worked IT in Peoria. We hired him. He still works for us. His name is Brian. That's amazing. But he, I remember he came into our office very much the same way. He was like dressed like a farmer with like a yellow note. Like he just thought he was going to have to write everything we told him down. But in the same way of walking around Midtown, when the meeting was over, because he had a kid,

he married, lived in Peoria, was flying back home. He was like, hey, before I go, do you know a place where I can get a miniature Statue of Liberty? Yeah. We were like literally every store outside. You're in Midtown. That's the cutest story. Yeah.

That's so sweet. It was, yeah, and it paid off. So it was very nice. It was very good. When you went to Laguna, were you always going to the same place or were you sort of picking different spots, hotels or houses? There was a hotel that we always stayed at called The Surf and Sand,

which I believe is very expensive now. But when you're a kid, you remember so much about it. I remember the furniture and how it smelled in the rooms and the type of coffee pot that they brought every morning for my parents. It was such a special place. And yes, we always stayed there. I remember one time actually, my dad, because it's right at the ocean, it's oceanfront, and my dad was in the water. And a wave came and hit him so hard that he stood up and his pants were gone, his trunks were gone. And my mom is on the side being like, pull up your pants. And so he looked down and saw it.

And then he tried to walk towards her and she goes, go away, go to me. And so he had to go back upstairs and put on a different pair of trunks and a hat to pretend to be a different person. Did he have to walk out of the ocean backwards with his wiener facing out? He got him back on, but then he was just standing up totally like dick out. I mean, for a kid of a certain age, that is maybe the most traumatic thing that could happen. Traumatic, thank God I didn't see it.

Dad dick on the beach is just, nobody wants. 19, late 1980s dad dick, it's gotta be the worst. Oh my God. But yeah, we always stayed there, We always stayed at the same place and it was, I mean, we did it like a few times a year. It was just our spot. So now it's so special to me and I kind of want to go back there and just see it. I remember our mom, we used to go to like waterslide places and she would always say she didn't want to go in the waterslide because all the the everybody's waited at the bottom for ladies tops to come off.

Like she just thought it was a big old scam. And then I feel like the rest of my life has been just basically a massive disappointment that I've never seen that once. Yeah, that's never happened. But also if you are ever at a water park and you like look around at the people who are in that like splash pool, like there's always a couple guys and you're like, I don people who are in that like splash pool. Like there's always a couple guys and you're like, I don't know. I don't know if you like got a daughter who's coming down

or if you're just like waiting to see. No, we don't have a daughter. What would mom call those kinds of guys, Suf? Sicko-perv? Yeah. Yeah. Sicko-perv. Sicko-pervs. My mom has a Sicko-perv? Sicko-pervs.

Yeah, my mom has a lot of nice nomenclature for creeps. What's another one? Do you have another one? What does she call fast girls, Posh? Sexicologists? Crazed sexicologists? A crazed sexicologist. Yeah, they major in sexicology. Yeah, they major in sexicology.

Yeah, they major. So they are actually licensed. And then they become sexicologists, and if things go, you know, take a left turn, then they become crazed sexicologists. By the way, was your prompt for him fast girls? Yeah, because I feel like she also says that. Like she still uses the term fast girls for like girls of ill, you know, poor moral standing. Oh my God, that's such a great name for a movie. Fast Girls.

By the way, while we're talking about great names of a movie, so you wrote, directed and starred in a new movie. It's called Summer of 69, which is like, that sounds like a movie. Oh yeah, I remember that on VHS. Yes, it feels like a classic movie already, right? Yeah, it was like a movie that came out in 1981 about the summer of 1969.

This is not what your movie's about. No, no, it is about a sexually inexperienced teenager who hires a local stripper to help her land No, it is about a sexually inexperienced teenager who hires a local stripper to help her land the guy of her dreams after she hears that he has a favorite sexual position. And so she tries to go from zero to 69 in a week's time. Everything about that is perfect. The idea that you as a teenager would hear,

you know what their favorite sexual position is. Yeah, yeah. It was like, I was like, what? Oh, we're already there. And it's very sweet because the lead, Abby, played by the amazing Sam Morelos, is like, so what's he into, kissing or swap and spit or making out? She's just saying the same thing three different ways. And then they're like, no, he's into 69ing. And she's like, I'm sorry, what's that? And yeah, I know, I never in

a million years would think like the first film I'm going to direct is about 69ing. But here we are. And I will say this, this is actually a sweet point about, not about 69 but kind of, is my, I always have these little winks, I feel like, from my dad. My dad passed away about 12 years ago. And so there's always like a little thing of like when the next opportunity is coming, it's like there's something that makes me think of like, oh, my dad, like in 22 Jump Street, my name was Mercedes. That was like my first big role. And he drove a Mercedes his entire life. There's no reason for my name in that movie Mercedes. And I was like, oh, this is a little wink to him. And then for this,

I was like, my dad had wanted to direct his entire life. He took me to the movies every, the movie theater every Sunday of his life, that I lived in Vegas. He just always went every Sunday and he always wanted to direct. And then a movie comes in called Summer of 69 and I was like, and he passed away when he was 69 years old and the Abbey, the lead's dad in it was named Ron. And I was like, there's something here. And when I read it, I was sort of like, you know, I feel like I really wanted to take a pass at it. So I worked on the script for a year or two and just was like, I feel like there's something,

the concept is so 80s, like you said, that I was like, if we can ground this and give it a lot of heart, then maybe we can kind of give a little nod to like the John Hughes movies. I grew up and loved so much. And so that was sort of my North Star was just like, how can we make this feel like you're, you know, okay, we've seen this setup, the girl wants the guy or the guy wants the girl, and they do something wild to get it. And we go on an adventure with them. But it really is like a coming of age story for two different aged women.

It's like 18 and 28. And we got Chloe Feynman to be in it as the stripper and she is fucking phenomenal. So it's, it's been like an absolute rollercoaster and truly the highlight of my entire career was getting to direct this movie. That's really sweet. And that is a, that thing about your dad is just lovely. I think, you know, parents who love movies, it's such a cool thing when, you know, there's that thing where you're bringing your kids to the movies and then vegging out because you don't care about Paw Patrol. Yeah. But then there's that thing where all of a sudden it's like Spider-verse. Yes. And you realize you like it too. Yeah.

And then you're talking about it on the way home. It's connection. Yeah. Yeah. It is. It's like everybody remembers, you know, going to the movies or seeing their first movie or seeing the movie that made them go like, I love this and why do I love it? Like my favorite movie is still my childhood favorite movie, which is Clue.

Oh my God. I love Clue. I love Tim Curry. I don't know if you've ever met our friend, Jill Benjamin, who's a comedian and a dear friend of ours and she is a huge Clue head. Did like a live stage reading of Clue, probably about 10 years ago now. Yeah. I think that, yeah, I think for a certain kind

of like comedy lady, Clue is just, or comedy man. It hits all the marks. Yeah, yeah. I did one of those live readings of it too. I got asked to be, I wonder if it was, no, it wasn't hers. It was someone else who was running it here in LA, but it was so funny because I got asked to be, I wonder if it was, no, it wasn't hers. It was someone else's running it here in LA. But it was so funny because I got to play Madeline Kahn's role, this is White.

And I did this thing where the guy who was running it was saying like, Jillian really wants it to be made clear which parts of the script did not stay. So I would say a line of hers and be like, like I be like, I was like, this is not in the final product, just so you guys know. If this feels weird to you, feels weird to me too.

It's because it is. My seminal going to a movie with my dad was he took me to see Midnight Run, which to this day is still one of my favorite movies. And it's so, I remember just being the age where it was, the language was too filthy for a kid, but he had brought me and it so it both felt like I love this movie. I love that it feels like my dad's being sneaky with me. Yeah.

It was a, the theater was not, was like an empty matinee and we were just, we just had the best time. Those things rule. I remember the first R-rated movie my dad took me to, because I think he thought it'd be okay, because it was an action thriller. You're going to be so like, this is so funny that this is the movie you remember going with your dad

to the theaters with. Under Siege 2. So that is a Steven Seagal classic. Should we say classic? I mean, they're all classics at this point. I think it was either two, I think it was two, but it could have been one. It was where like a lady pops out of a cape too and she's showing her breasts and I was like... Erika Aliniak. The actress was Erika Aliniak.

You okay, Seth? Okay, okay, okay. Seth, you okay? Baywatch's Erika Aliniak. I mean, I do, I think we're hitting maybe a sweet spot for where I was. Okay, great, great, great. Full name and four facts about it. I hope I'm right.

I mean, I was so told this. It feels like you're right. Yeah, you know what? I'm not even gonna Google it. I don't even wanna check. So do you know if that's two? Is that two or original under siege? I feel like cake might be original under siege. Well, there you go. I also feel want to check. So do you know if that's two? Is that two or original Under Siege? I feel like Cake might be original Under Siege.

Well, there you go. I also feel like a dad. Look, you can bring your kid to our rated movie. I'm not going to judge you. But if you bring them to the sequel without letting them watch the first one, so they're all, they can't follow the plot because they don't know what, who's under what siege,

who's the good guy. People caught up pretty quick. I think it was, I think I got it. US too. I got it. I remember there was a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, Kickboxer, and then there was a Kickboxer too. And I remember there was a David Letterman top 10 list,

things hurt in line for Kickboxer too. And one of them was, I hope you didn't need to see Kickboxer. And then, is your mom still around? Yes, my mom's here. Is she in LA with you guys now? Yeah, yeah. My office is across the way from her apartment building. So she has a bell.

So the bell girls see each other. Yeah, the bell girls are tight. It's just the three of us. So we lean on each other a lot. Yeah. That's really lovely. Yeah. And if you go out on the town and want to sort of be bad,

are you the Belk girls? Yeah. No. I can say- Let's be the Belks tonight. With absolute certainty, we've never called ourselves the Belk girls. Congratulations on the movie.

Very, very excited. And it's always just the best to see you, Jillian. And I'm very, it's just, it's so exciting and wonderful every time I see you on screen. And now I'm very excited that you're behind the camera as well. I love running into you every time and you're so supportive and I just thank you for that.

You're always like a kind lightness whenever I see you and it always makes me so happy. And Josh is the nicer of the two of us. So imagine how you're gonna feel when you run into him. Josh, now we need to get to know each other better. So as excited as I do for your brother. Before you go, Josh is gonna ask you the questions we ask all of our guests.

Okay. Okay, you can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational? Relaxing. What is your favorite means of transportation? Walking. If you could take a vacation with any family,

alive or dead, real or fictional, other than your own family, what family would you like to take a vacation with? Oh my gosh. Oh, Goldie Hawn. Oh yeah, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. Kurt Russell, yeah, I just feel like they'd have a fabulous time. We did a, uh, Kate Hudson and her brother, Oliver Hudson's podcast, and they told us a couple of trips they took, and you made a great choice.

I'm right, correct? Yeah, yeah, yeah, great choice. No one's made it yet, great choice. Yeah, okay. Wyatt Russell, great guy. He's good. So sweet. Yeah. If you had to be stranded on a desert island

with one member of your family, who would it be? Brianna, my sister. And now if you had to be stranded with one of her other personalities? Bobby. Bobby. Bobby. Because he's normal, he's just a dude.

Bobby's just a normal dude. He's just a guy. He's just a guy version of her. Like everybody else, all her other had agendas, but like Bobby was just like, hey, you know what? Yeah, he was just like, I'm Bobby. Did he have an accent? No, I don't know why I didn't have an accent.

You're from Las Vegas, would you recommend Vegas as a vacation destination? Absolutely. I think it's a great spot to go and just forget your real life. Do you, I feel like since you were a kid, or maybe when you were a kid, it was the beginning of it. Like certainly when we were kids,

nobody ever talked about bringing your family to Vegas, but it does feel like that is now, it is way more family friendly. Yeah, and honestly, when I was growing up, they started having more like theme park, like circus, circus at a theme park, and so did MGM. There were like fun things. There's motion rides at the Excalibur.

There was so much fun stuff for kids to go do, but obviously it was like an adult playground. But I think that's more the norm now. People do bring, I mean, like, trust me, it's still the hooligans that go, but I think it can be both for family or for just adult fun things. Yeah, and then Seth has our final questions. You were, I mean, close enough, Jillian, have you ever gone to the Grand Canyon? No, I've never been. Do you want to go?

I would like to go, yes. You don't have to say that if you don't. I would like to go because I feel like as I'm getting older, I appreciate nature a lot more. I feel like I didn't when I was younger and was just like, let's go do something fun. But I feel like I could sit there for a full day and just look at that and be totally...

I'm still in my fun years. Yeah, you're in your fun years. You don't want to do it. You don't want to do it. You're the best, Jillian. You're the best. Both of you are. We love it. You don't want to do it. You're the best, Jillian. You're the best. Both of you are. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for making the time for us. Summer of 59. Yes. Out this spring on Hulu. Very good. Can't wait. All right. Thanks guys. See you soon.

Bye. Bye. Bye! She'd say oh no, into a trance she'd go Would come back out but not the same man She said she had multiple personalities Personalities An evil woman, a young kid and normal Bobby She didn't know what to do when she got a whole tattoo Sister Brianna said that she was trash It worked out in the end They're the bestest of friends

Just made a film about 69ing When you have prom in Vegas, you like barely go You just pop by for pictures after a blue man show Out at the surf and sand Dad hadn't tied his swimsuit waistband Mom had to turn away When his wiener was like Erika Linniac Poppin' out of a cage in under siege His dick popped out It was late 1980's that day He changed his suit Put on a hat to boot As if anyone would forget him Don't you know it, got hit by a wave

His dick popped out It was late 1980s that day Don't you know it Got hit by a wave His dick popped out It was late 19th 80's that day
