Hi, buddy. Hi, Sufi. How are you? I'm good. I haven't seen you in a minute. I know. I've been doing some real traveling as well. I'm very excited to show you on.

I went to Madrid. Yeah. I've never been to Madrid. Or I was in Madrid once between Morocco and coming back to New York, and I got food poisoning and basically spent 24 hours in my hotel room. Oh, yeah, because you ate something ill-advised, correct? I had a pigeon pie. genuinely. That's ill-advised.

Sufi, that is ill-advised. I know. It was on a menu, and I'm like, look, you know, went to Rome. And then I also ate some street food looking back on, which I think, you know, the locals, I think, had no trouble with. I think maybe with a few more reps, I would have been fine, but my very sensitive stomach could not hail. There were a lot of, a lot of suspects. It was like a game of clue trying to figure out which one did we have. It's hard to not finger the pigeon pie, but the street food.

The pigeon pie. That's actually you eat it. It's called fingering the pigeon pie. You put it, it's like a crust, and you pop it in, and you kind of... Stir it with your index finger? You stir it away to make sure there's no bones or feathers, and then, um, eat up that pigeon. Anyway, for those listeners who haven't thrown up yet, here is my report on Madrid. So I went to Madrid, best possible reason.

Alexi and I went. My brother-in-law, Zach Heinzorling, directed this four-part mini-series that's going to be on Netflix on May 29th is when it premieres. It's called Rafa. It's about Rafa Nadal.

It's fantastic. I say this is not the biggest tennis fan in the world, but it's a fantastic sports documentary. And the premiere was in Madrid. So we went over to Madrid, and we had just a great 48 hours. It's a wonderful city. A great 48-hour city

because I will say Spanish food is to die for, but I think on day three, it's to die from. Why? Because it's so, it's heavy? It's a lot of yamon, Pashi. It's a lot of salty hams. Yeah. A lot of people said,

and based on the menus I saw, Not a lot of salads in Spain. And even when you got a salad, it's like mostly like tomatoes and a little bit of bacon. They're kind of like, hey, we have, we maybe have more hamon than we can sell, so we might put in your salad. I know that speaking to a vegan,

these are not going to sound as delicious, but had this like very thin breaded steak. That was one of the best things I've ever eaten. And the other super fun thing about Madrid, great museums, and everything is just so late. And if you're on East Coast time, which is what we decided to stay on, like we went to the premiere for this, you know, show, started at 8 o'clock at night.

It didn't even, they didn't even show it until like 10.30, like nobody minded. Yeah. And then there was like a party afterwards. It was great. So, uh, had just a wonderful time. And it was, I can't remember the last time I was on a trip where I, A, wasn't working, and B, didn't have my kids. Oh, yeah. That's kind of a double bonus. Yeah. So, and you know what you can do when that's the case?

Take a motherfucking nap. You can nap, man. Oh, I can nap. There was a, we were with a friend who had hooked up, a private tour at the Prado Museum. And that was day two. And it was a lot of, it's at 9 a.m. And so we have to leave the hotel at 8.15 a.m.

Let's meet downstairs. And I, every time somebody talked about it, in my head, Pasha, it was like, I ain't going to be there. Well, that's a nap first thing in the morning. What was that? I was going to do a sleep in, too. I was going to do a sleep in, and then I was going to grab a nap. But I also didn't want to say I'm definitely not going because I think there was a real argument to

this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You've got to go. Fair enough. And I didn't want to put pressure on my friends to try to convince me to go because I was 100% not going. And then Alexi slept in. She was definitely going to go

and she forgot to set an alarm and I certainly didn't. And we missed it by like three hours. Wow. Yeah, it was great. So the private tour who ended up going on it? Just Zach and Ariel?

And some other people. We had a group of people. So I think the people who went still had a nice time. But it was just great. And then I went to New Orleans for a night this week. To do stand-up? No. I went to New Orleans with my book club.

Wow. We're reading Sound and the Fury. And eight gentlemen decided to go to New Orleans because there's a William Faulkner bookstore there, but mostly we decided to go just to do a night of really

fun eating and drinking and music in New Orleans. Where did you eat? We ate at three different restaurants. One of my friends was in charge. It was three dinners? It was three dinners. Was it really? It was three, but

he said he arranged a ahead of time. He had a friend in the restaurant business in New Orleans, and he basically said, uh, we're going to show up. We're going to be there for an hour. Will you please bring us your two best appetizers? Oh, how well coordinated. It was amazing. Uh, and, and then I, the only downside that was also a giant upside is every place kind of brought like five different advertisers. Right. Yeah, yeah. Um, by the last place, I was definitely maybe a little not ready for a full pork dish, but. It sounds like the pork's coming to get you, Sufi.

On this side of the Atlantic and the other. But, yeah, the seafood part of the New Orleans was, I think, for my personal experience, was incredible. But I haven't really done, like, a proper New Orleans day like that. Yeah. And it was great. Did you have any crawfish etou-fei? I didn't. Did Sufay have atoufay?

Is that what you're asking? That's what I'm asking. Did tufe ate a toupee? I think that's a palindrome. No, but I had fried oysters, was, I think, my favorite thing. Also, this you'll appreciate. There was, like, this really good, like, crab dip that came with just saltines. Oh, yeah.

Let me just say, I know I was at three different restaurants with incredible staffs and, like, the highest-level chefs. Does anything be to saltine? posh? I have, I can eat a sleeve of saltines at the drop of a hat. Yeah. I mean, we used to have them around for like when we weren't feeling well, but like, I don't know. If you start, it's hard to stop. Oh, a saltine. Give me a saltine. Also, I don't know if you watch Digman, the Andy Sandberg cartoon where he basically talks like Nicholas Cage. It's fantastic. Yeah, I've seen the trailer. I've I watch the show. His sidekick's name is Saltine.

And so now every time I see it's Altine, I hear basically Andy's Nicholas Cage going, Saltein! Anyway, how are you? Have you been on the road at all? I don't think so. Yeah. I've just been here. I've been hanging out.

But I did my first movie in the cemetery, a syncopeia out here in Hollywood at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Their 25th season just kicked off this last year So I went and I saw E.T., which I hadn't seen, I feel like since I was 10. Yeah, I only have seen it recently because of the kids. Yeah. So good. Drew Barrymore is so cute and so funny.

Yeah. Star. So many scenes I had sort of forgotten about, like E.T. drinking a Coors and a bathrobe, like sort of tottering around. really, really made me laugh. And it's just, it's one of my favorite things.

One of my favorite happenings in Los Angeles through the summer. It sort of ends around Halloween. They always do some scary movies then. So I was almost not going to go. And then I had four other friends who were like, we're going. And I was like, man, I'm going.

And it was great. The, it does, in the rewatch of E.T. It feels like it was maybe a little easy to sneak E.T. out of the lab. in the end. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Seems like a real, like looking back, I kind of remembered them being, had them having a better

plan than just like, let's just like throw a sheet over them. Yeah, then there's like, there's people like right on their tail. And then there's a huge gap of time where the sort of E.T.'s ship is coming to get them. And it's like, those people were right, we're right there. Yeah. Yeah. But again, who am I to criticize E.T.? Yeah.

So that was really fun. And then, yeah, it was Memorial Day. So barbecue over at Robbie Benedict. That was fun. Yeah. Yeah, we had a good memorial day as well. Well, this is Fantiana Maslani is her guest today. She's at the light.

She's got a new show maximum pleasure guaranteed over on Apple. You can check out. I will say in the song, there is an obvious rhyme rhyme that I intentionally don't visit. Interesting. So you'll hear, I'm sort of, I'm setting up to something and it would involve Tatiana Maslani's mother and I didn't feel like going there.

So you'll hear it in the song, but I, yeah, I knew, I know it's there and I intentionally back off. Because where is she from? Well, well, you'll have to listen to the episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But now I'm starting to, I'm starting to. I'm starting to sniff out what might have happened here. Yeah.

All right. Love you, Pashi. It's been too long. Love you too, Sufi. I know. Enjoy the episode, everybody. Family Chips, Brothers. Hi.

Hello. Hello. How are you? I'm good. How are both of you guys doing? We're very, very good. We're very well. I feel like probably because I was introduced to you in orphanage.

black. It's very exciting to see what you're going to look like every time I see you. Right. Who is she? Yeah. What's her hair going to be? From the minute I first met you, I knew you were capable of being like 10 different people. That's only the wigs. That's all wigs. I know, I know. You're the one person. If not the wigs, same guy under me. It's really, it's like Orphan Black and the Americans are shows that are so wig-forward. Yeah. So wig-forward. I love, honestly, I love a wig-forward. I love a wig show. Yeah. What I liked about the,

I don't know if you ever watch the Americans. What I liked is like I feel like they also tried really hard to make sure the wigs looked like wigs looked in the 80s. Like the wigs weren't too good. Yeah, like they're like, he's undercover. It was weird too. It just meant that people in the 80s were like, I got a new, I just met a new guy, weird hair.

Anyway, he wants the, he wants the microfilm. Hair made of straw. Yeah. But I don't know. I trust him. Yeah, it's nothing about him. It is his slippery little accent. Tell me how you pronounce your hometown.

Regina. Okay, got you. Yeah. What you wish it were. I didn't want to take a big swing. That was my instinct, but I didn't want to take it. So you're from Regina, which is, seems like the middle of nowhere. Yeah.

It's, I describe it lovingly as the place that people pass through to go elsewhere. Yeah. So you kind of like blast through. if you're driving across country, you're going to, you're probably going to blast through. And you'll stop in Regina, maybe. Yeah. What are the big towns on either side that you might actually stop at? I mean, it could be hundreds of miles away. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's like six hours. It's like seven hours. You're going to stop probably Calgary, Edmonton, or Bamp if you're nasty. Yeah. And then keep going across to probably Winnipeg.

which is like a bigger, a bigger regina. Winnipeg has been based on some listener feedback. Winnipeg has gotten treated a little dirty on our podcast. You know, a lot of actors. Well, a lot of actors are shooting up in Winnipeg, and they've kind of given some feedback. But this might be helpful to know that there is a place where less is going on. Oh, for sure.

Are you guys collecting this feedback and bringing it somewhere to someone who needs to know when people, I feel like when people from Winnipeg heard, that like maybe they didn't have great restaurants. They were like, we do. They said there's actually a thriving restaurant scene. I'm going to fight for them only because it's the big city in my opinion. Yeah, got to. I mean, big regina is what they're called.

Big Regina. Put that on the T-shirt. I have so many things to tell you about that town. But Winnipeg has great food. Great, in my experience, laser tag, because I was talking. 15 and I spent a lot of time there. Right. And great improv.

Really good improv scene. Oh, interesting. Like, very good improv. Very good long form. You, uh, I know you have a deep improv roots. Did you first discover it in Winnipeg? Like, where were you when you got the bug that you were like, oh, because I think Josh and I had never saw it until we went to college.

Right. No, I was doing it at age eight in French. Oh, my God. Like, my story. It was in Regina. It was in Regina, which is like, okay, so there's such great things about this city if, like, children are being taught French improv, which is like a very different kind of improv. It's like within the, you have to, it's like kind of like theater sports. Okay. Yeah. So there's a lot of like rules. Are there a lot of French speakers in Regina? I don't know if it's like markedly more than anywhere else in the country, but but there's definitely like. We have like French immersion where you guys don't have any immersion other than English. Yeah.

Well, our mother was a French teacher. So that's really? Yeah. Yeah. Junior high French. Oh, wow. Not immersion. Not immersion.

And we can't speak French. Yeah. She's not the greatest. I was like Josh's walked you down the road to a very disappointing outcome. I like that it was she's not the greatest, even though you guys didn't learn French. Well, proofs in the pudding, Tatiana. Right. If she'd been a more compelling teacher, maybe you would have learned.

My son just took his first French class. And this, like, speaks to, like, the era we're living in, which is, like, so, I mean, it was very much French or Spanish for us. And his, he has nine weeks of each. It's, like, Mandarin, Arabic and now French. So he had his first French cat. And he wanted to call mom last night, Josh. He really wanted to, like, talk to her. And he was most excited because his name is Ash, A-S-S-S.

H.E. And he told her mom that his French name is H. And we're like, what? And then it was the reason is that you say H is Ash. Right. And he's like, so my French name is H. I'm like, I don't think that's how it works. This whole thing's giving me a headache. Just pick a name.

Just be Serge. It's so Kid Lodge. Yeah. I love that. So you were immersed in French and you spoke a lot of languages growing up, correct? I did. I learned German when I was a teeny-weeney baby. I think I knew it before I knew English, is my mom's take on that story. French through elementary school, quit it in high school because I was like that someone told me I

couldn't do drama if I was in French, which was a lie. And then I gave up my chance at having a French like certificate. Yeah. I really screwed the pooch on that. Who looking back, do you feel like a little bit blame is on yourself for whoever you listen to? Like, who told you this obviously fake thing? I'm not going to throw her under the bus, but we're not friends anymore. I'll say that much. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's because she screwed me over. Yeah. Willingly. It was a teenage girl. Yeah. It was a teenage girl who had no right to give advice and I had no right to take it. To take it. You had no, yeah.

You had no obligation to take it. No, and I wasn't even like reverent of her. I don't know. know what? I was like, oh, you told me one thing once. So it must be true, which I feel like is, again, kid logic. So what was your, how did your family end up? How did your parents end up in Regina? Were they from there? They were born there, but my grandparents immigrated from Germany, Ukraine, and Romania. Gotcha. To I always, even though I've heard the story of thousand times. I'm just like, why there? But it's always just like, they knew one guy who had a job.

And so they were like, well, there's there's the, there's like the solidity that I need to travel across the world. What was the job? Do you know? My opa, I think it was building, I think it was house building, which is what he ended up doing for a living until the very end of his life. And then my grandfather was a carpenter or a woodworker who I don't know if that was the job that he initially like moved there for but yeah I know a little less about his history but yeah it's like that's it is fascinating to make that move and then end up and then what is like what is the landscape of Regina is it like I'm picturing and this might be how I picture everything not mountainous in Canada is just like

massive fields where you can just see, like the flatest land you can see forever? A hundred percent. It's bad. And it's like, apparently in Regina, every tree was planted and every lake was dug. So it's a very like, it's like a town built because probably, I think there was like one guy who settled there. And then they were like, well, now we have to build around this very special person, whoever it was. But, but yeah, it's a very strange. flat place, lots of like marshland, lots of field as soon as you like get out of town.

It's like, and when you're landing in Saskatchewan, it's like landing on the moon. It really, especially in the winter when it's, which is like 90% of the time. It's like a lunar. It looks lunar. Do you have like, is there a warm nostalgia that you have for like, you know, emerging from the clouds or whatever and seeing it below? or is it like, oh, here we go again? No, I have a lot of nostalgia for it and this sort of familiarity of it and like the images I have from my childhood that now I look at it. I'm like, oh, I thought that little, that hill was like massive.

And now it's like this little, you know what I mean? It's, yeah, it's like some of the, the sky is beautiful, the sort of expansive. of those fields is very almost like looking at this like looking at space or like the ocean like kind of overwhelming I always had this thought like oh if they if someone dropped me in the middle of one of those fields I'd be I would die I had that thought a lot so that's a fun nostalgia yeah it's a warm it's a warm feeling oh the dying field oh I remember the dying field Did, what would you guys do? It's two siblings, correct?

Yeah, Daniel and Michael. And they're older or younger than you? Younger. Gotcha. I'm the one. How was that? How was having, did they show up pretty close to you? Daniel showed up three years into my life, which was annoying for me because I was the only guy.

And I was very special. And I absolutely bit him. beat him up to show him who is boss. As you should. Yeah, as you must. You're obviously the oldest. Yeah, I'm the oldest. Obviously, kind of hurt.

Obviously, it's because you knew that you had to, that beating up a child was. Obviously. I do, yes, I am working eyes. Obviously. And then Michael came like 12 years, 12 years later. Wow. I'd already established myself as a person.

But yeah, he was a bonus. So you were 15 when he was born? I was, no, oh, 12 years later than my birth. Everything's about it. So I was 12, yeah. Gotcha. Wow. Big old gap.

Big old gap. Yeah. A great, because my brother Daniel and I were very into like making movies as kids and had like access to a fairly good little camcorder. And so Michael was like the subject of everything that we did. Oh, amazing. That's great. Yeah, it was like perfect.

Well, if you're going short, you go to Regina Beach for like a day trip, but you also go to Banff was a big one for us. We also took trips all the way to Germany quite a few times because I had my great grandma lived to be 101. Wow.

And so we would go visit her. Yeah. And stay with her and stay with her. Where in Germany? A whole bunch of relatives. She was in Wiesbaden, which I think is, no, I don't know where it is. I think it's near Dirkurnerberg. You're right.

No, I think that's true. I think it shares a train station. Yeah. No, it was great. It was like a, it was such an amazing trip. I think the first time I went there, I was two and then seven. And then multiple times after that, we would go across with my OMA. We would take her and go see my OMA.

Was that a trip that you would be excited to take? Was it like, oh, my God, we're going to go see. Yeah. The oldest woman I've ever met. The oldest woman on the planet. Yeah. Yeah, it was like, I think at that time, like, travel for me was, like, kind of super abstract. I know that there was, like, like, it was just the feeling of being in a different place.

I just remember, like, Germany feeling, like, very forested and, like, lush and sort of, and the, chocolate was amazing. And there was just like, and there was sticker stores. And there were just like these little things that I like lodged in my brain. And everyone was trying to speak English. And they were much better than we were at speaking German. And it was just like, yeah, it was a, it was, I love travel. At some point I got afraid of flying, but, but at that time I was super brave. A European sticker store, that's kind of a dream. Oh my God. Wooden stickers. Stickers made of Cork. Really?

Guys. Now, how as a child and buying a sticker, when you were buying it, how much of it were you like, oh my God, I'm so excited to get a wooden sticker and how much of you were like, oh, my God, I cannot wait to show my friends back home. Yes. I went somewhere. They sell wooden stickers. It was definitely like the status of getting a sticker that no one else is going to have and

then like the potential for trading it back home. I'm very happy that the sticker trade was still so robust when you were... It was huge. The market was, yeah, it crashed in 2008. I thought I was in the end of the sticker bubble. No, no. I feel like there's some currency there again. I think we should bring them back since nothing means anything.

We have a grown-ass man friend who buys stickers every year for like a get-together that we have. And it's, yeah, it's so frustrating. Yeah. But he spends, like, he spends for real money. He's like, this sticker was $8. And you're like, what? Yeah, what are we doing? What are the stickers?

Are they just Disney stickers at this point? Or like, is it that or are they like? No, it's like, it's like very memey, I want to say. He has meme stickers, but there's still, my boys got like a Marvel sticker book and just like put it. And it's like the first stickers we ever gave them in the last because they're still on. on their bunk bed. Like, they just took them and, like, we were like, and like, just terrible layout.

No, no rhyme or reason to it. You hate your children's aesthetic. You're just like. I'm so glad you finished. I'm so glad you didn't finish. I really thought you were like, boy, you hate your children. I was like, oh, boy, you really, you got eyes and ears. And then we, I want to, all right, so you,

how many of you would, would the whole family go to Germany? was your youngest brother? Was that too too early for him? No, when he was, I mean, when he was, when he popped out, he came with us too. And he was very young.

So I remember him like learning German very quickly as a sweet little guy, like reading to read. And it was so fun having like, yeah, it was just like a little crew. It was like our little, little true. And you're speaking German the whole time?

Yeah, kind of. In a way that I'm like, wow, like kids' brains are so adaptable. I went to Germany recently and shot a film, and I was like, oof, I thought I was good at this. Oh, right. And no one is speaking back to me in German. They're all like, yes, what you're on? The film was in English, right? Like, you weren't finding out, ooh, yeah.

Like, you were finding out on camera, like, oh, I overpombed. I did do one film in German, but I had like 12 lines, so I got to work them real hard. Oh, that's great. But yeah, no, this one was full. This was like American girl who can't speak other languages. Oh, perfect, perfect, perfect. Decidedly not. What's a day at Regina Beach like?

A day at Regina Beach. You go to, I'm going to make up the name. I think it was butlers. I think that's false. But it was like an fish and chip shop, like classic style. I feel like so many things that like got outdated in other bigger cities kind of like stuck in Saskatchewan. So there was this

great fish and chip shop that had like a really good soft serve ice cream as well. And you go and you stand on the edge of the water and you see a little dead goldfish in the water or you get on water skis and you get ripped around

ripped around the lake. Yeah. On water skis. My mom was a huge water scare. I think my dad did too. But we did as well. It sounds like I will say like it sounds like a line from like a Canadian teen drama,

like we're going to Regina Beach, meet us and Butler. Like I feel like if you asked ChatGAPT to write a Canadian teen drama. Yeah, that's where the cool teens go. They're real tough teens to make it all the way out there. Yeah. So that, it seems like everywhere. So that, again, how long is the drive for you guys to get to Regina Beach? And is Regina Beach a beach a beach on a man-dug lake?

I think it's a real lake. And that's like one of the draws. And people had like cottages and la la la, la, like we never did. But do you think the first time someone saw that lake, they were like, what the fuck did we dig all those walls? We just had to come. Gorgeous valley too. Like it's like.

Trees everywhere. I'm like, what the hell are we doing over in that like marshland? That's when they realized the first guy who came here was like, finally, somewhere without trees or water. And his name was Butler. Any deep-fried goldfish. Yeah. Yeah. The dead goldfish were just not taken care of.

I think somebody just, that was one of my memories is like walking barefoot and being like, there's a dead goldfish. I think someone had just dumped them in there. Yeah. And that's just been, that's been implanted in memory. Now that's your selling. You're like, have you ever been to Butler? You're like, oh, yeah, that fish graveyard? And they're like, what are you talking about?

She saw one dead fish 30 years ago. One Dead Fish is the name of that teen drama. And then BAMF. I've, like, wanted to go to BAMF. Same. I don't know this film festival at BAMF? I feel like it's a... Yes.

And so is Bampf is skiing? Bamp is hiking. Bamp is like moose walking down the street. Bamp is, yeah, it's like very, very magical. Like ski town vibe, like classic, like chalet type vibe. Mm-hmm. There's like a great... Disgustingly so.

Is it a train from Vancouver to Banff? I feel like everybody's like take that train. Oh, probably. Is this the one that's like clear? Yeah. And you can see out. Yeah, I think you can take that one across the whole country. Yeah, there's definitely train stuff going on in Banff.

For sure, trains miniature and otherwise. Yeah. And gondolas. And I remember I was once we were walking with my family in Banff. We were like big walkers. Big hikers, big walkers, big bike, the cyclists. that was like always what we did and I was like really dragging I was 16 and I was like complaining the whole time my parents were like this is not like you like just keep walking that night I got an insane fever and I had walking pneumonia oh wow you actually were doing the walking part I was doing the walking part of the walking not a lot of people do the whole walking with the walking no you got to do it you got to do it to really draw the fever out yeah so would you go on like you go on like full day hikes, were you guys, like, packed up and would you camp or would you get a cabin?

What was your sort of accommodations? Oh, no, we never camped. I think the first time I camped, I was like 25 and it was at like a music festival. And it was very, very, there was like a coffee, you know, bar right there. Like, it was very nice. No, we never camped. We would, we would, it was very like, I think food was more important to us. anything. So like, yes, a beautiful walk, but you got to finish it with an insane meal

somewhere. And you got to be in civilization. We were also very allergic to everything. So you can't stay out. The whole family. The whole family. The all the kids. Really? You guys were all allergic. What was the, what was the, for your parents, what was the nightmare allergy where they were like, oh, no, we went somewhere with X. Well, you mean that it like happened? That something bad happened? Or like what were you guys most allergic to that? Oh, Michael's most allergic to peanuts.

And at one point we were in Budapest. They came out to visit me in Budapest when I was filming and he ate something in a market. And he had to throw that up. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's better that it's like, hey, throw this up versus we got to race him to the hospital. and this is epi-pen stuff. Yes, yeah. Yeah, but we were very sickly children.

Again, this is not the stereotype of Iowa too. But like not the same. Like Canadians, we get a, you know, you're supposed to be robust stock. Yeah, for sure. No, I know. No, I wear long underwear like most of the times of the year because I'm cold all the time. In L.A. In L.A.

That's fascinating. Did, um, when you were. going on hikes and things, your significantly younger brother, Michael, was he sort of in a pack on someone's back or was he, is it just like, keep up, pal? I was like, keep up, buddy or like drag the stroller into like ridiculous situations. Like, yeah, at all costs, the walk must happen. But yeah, he was pretty, he was like pretty quick to, to take on, you know, the, the family thing. But we also had this great burly. for bike rides, burly?

Do you know what a burly is? No, what's a burly? It's the back, it's like the little back compartment thing that like has wheels and it's attached to a bike. Yeah. And that, so Daniel and I would be in that when we were two, when we were little. And then Mikey, that became Mikey spot when we could all go on bike rides. Were your parents like kind of physical active people? Unreal, unreal.

They still constantly were like, wondering like what went wrong with their three kids. Why did we produce three artists? And you guys are like, is there a burly for cross-country skiing? Oh, yeah, my dad would drag us in on the sled behind him when he was cross-country skiing. Wow. It's hard to do. I mean, like, look, I'm of the mind that if you're already cross-country skiing, something's going terribly wrong. If you're also then like pulling somebody.

I know. I know. I've tried cross-country skiing for the first time maybe six years ago and was like, oh, this is not what it looked like when I was a kid and like kind of dragging my body. Like I remember like sort of hanging off just to like, you know, have a little laugh dragging my little weighted body. You know, and Daniel too, like just making it horrible. Did you, did you downhill ski growing up? Yeah. Do you like it still? I love it. I love it so much. I only once snowboarded and I ended up spraining both of my wrists fell back on them. Oh, yeah. Oh, the same fall? Wow. That's a yes. There's something impressive a nod from Tatiyama. No. Hitting both of them at the same time with enough force to sprain him is really, seems like almost a statistical improbability.

It was horrible. And I laid on the hill. My teacher had abandoned me. I laid on the hill. I laid on the hill. hill because also when you're learning to ski in Saskatchewan or snowboard it's it's valleys that are icy and that are um because the wind is so intense so everything ice is over it's very intense skiing it's not like beautiful sort of like powdery movement you're like so i like really biffed it i fell on both wrists i was like weeping on the ground i remember a kid being like and like snow plowing me and I was just like, ah! And then my brother, Daniel.

Tatiana made a hand jester for what it looked like when this kid came over and if you had seen it, it would not have been helpful. Well, I literally, he did the monster mash? Like, the hand gesture he did.

He did the mash. He did the monster mash. It was a graveyard smash. No, he was like very, he was a cool, Like five-year-old kid who, like, totally humiliated me. It's very, I mean, I will say skiing now. Nothing's worse than when, like, I mean, again, so,

pretty much everybody in the slopes is younger than me now. Like, when they, like, zip by you or when you fall and they come over and ask what's wrong, you're like, don't look at me. Like, nothing. Nothing. I live here. I live here. Did you?

How long was the drive to Banff? The Banff drive was, like, like seven hours, I think. And, oh, wow, that's a drive. How were your parents as, like, we're all in the car together? Oh, the best. I just remember tunes, we listened to tunes, listen to CBC radio. Were you, did you have a collective agreement on tunes, like, as a family, where you, like, these are, this is what we'll all listen to?

I think, like, later in life, we started, like, using the ox cable and, like, enforcing our tunes, but no, it was like kind of, it was background. It wasn't, it's like more I have associations of certain songs with my parents than I do like, oh, we knew what that song was. It's more like, oh, that was Hotel California. Or like, you know, but I do have this, the one thing I do remember about road trips was, if it was raining, was watching, this is going to be such, This is such an interesting story, you guys. Watching raindrops go on their little journey and collect. Oh, I did that all the time.

Yeah. And you watch them form new paths. Yeah. You know what? I kind of can't believe that you're the first person who said this based on how many road trip guests we've had. Because I think that, I think almost everybody we've ever talked to has done that. And you're the first one who had the courage to admit. Honestly, thank you.

Yeah. Thanks for the platform to talk about it. But we have had guests talk about, like, I would look at it. out and imagine myself like just running over like the landscape. Yeah. Like that kind of stuff. And there were so many, we grew up in New Hampshire and there were so many like streams that would run alongside and you just like follow those streams and imagine you were

out there on a boat and like how far could you go? Totally. Totally. The sort of the close up nature, almost video game nature of a raindrop against the window trying to make its journey is a great. great activity. Yeah, it had like a personality. It like, you could feel the stress of the drop or like, because they were always kind of shaking.

Yeah. But I also, oh, go ahead. Well, I was just going to say, like, to Josh's point about like, I will do that now too, right? Like I'll watch a stream. Like in New England stream if we're driving a car around. And I have to constantly remind myself, remember, if you were in a boat in that stream right now, you would not be as comfortable as you are in this car. So like, don't, like, you're a much.

Mine thinks you're in a boat, but you feel as nice as you feel now, but you would actually be like a little bit wet and a little bit cold. Yes. Just let it be a dream. Let it be a beautiful dream. Just let the fantasy stay that. Also, if you were in the stream that was alongside sort of a, you know, the Cancamongas Highway, let's say, then you'd look at those cars and be like,

gosh, we could just be in one of those cars right now. Yeah. That's right. And totally flip it. Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.

Have they taken advantage of your sort of world travelers and come and see you? Do your parents like to come visit? Yeah, they really, they really do. They love, like if I'm filming in Vancouver or Toronto or whatever, they'll come.

They came to Budapest. They came to, when I was filming, I was like 17. At one point, you know, they had to be there because I was a kid still. So filming in Edmonton or whatever. But yeah, they'll, they came to Acaloet when I filmed up in Acaloet. They came for the screening up there. Pardon me. Where is Akalwit?

Ecaloet is in Nunavut, which is like, the northernmost province in Canada, and it's totally Arctic. It's unbelievable. Very lunar, very like... What did you shoot in a calette? I shot a film called Two Lovers and a Bear. Okay.

Guess who I played. Bear, bear, bear, bear. Bear, Bear. Bear, Bear. Two lovers in a bear. Oh, okay, got you. Yeah, so I also played the lovers. No, it was great.

It was like a really strange film, very dark and surreal, and got to film out there for like a month and a half. Wow. And my parents did come visit, yeah. And did they see that just as like, we're never going to have a better opportunity to go check this place out? 100%. Because you have to take, like, three planes to get there.

And or you, like, there's certain times of the year when the water is so iced over. you can, they drive like big, like, what are they called, semis? Yeah. Semis with, like, stuff up, but then in the summer months you can't. And so you have to fly like a million. So there's like one tomato sometimes or like it's very. Are you the kind of person like when you get offered a job like that is the fact that it's in a Kalawit make you more or less likely to take the part? Do you like the fact that it can afford you the chance to go someplace you never would have gone?

Yeah, totally. I think more so when I was younger. I feel like now I'm getting so rigid in my dotage. It's the best, right? Like you just get old and you're like, or stay here. That's kind of nice. I know this place already.

I know what coffee shops I like. Yeah. I went to the store they had two tomatoes. Right. So that's better. Right. That is better. Yeah.

You don't have to fight someone. That's right. I do like traveling. I was just in New Orleans for the first time. I'd never been there filming a show or a movie. And, yeah, when I'm somewhere new, I, like, can't stop moving because I want to see everything. I have worked in New Orleans, and I find that you have a tendency to go pretty hard in New Orleans, just because that's what you've heard you should do.

Yes. Was that what happened? Yeah, I felt like I couldn't sleep just because there was, like, so many people awake. all the time. Right. You can't trust it. Yeah, you're like, but there's something cool happening. Yeah.

But I don't drink or anything, but I certainly do eat. And I fully, like, I fully gained eight pounds or something. Yeah. Just like trying everything and wanting to be, yeah. It does seem like a place where everything they recommend is like heading you down the eight pound path. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Gotta get those beignets. How many beguets have you had today? Multi, multi-benets. Different, got to try them all from all places. That's why I'm so excited to start. I introduce low-boys, which are low-calorie po-boys. Oh, low-boys. Low-boys, like, ad is just like...

Everybody's sad. I did a sad phase. Aw. They wouldn't even... And by the way, the ad they were supposed to be happy, but we couldn't get any actors who they all just looked at. It's not going great. It's not going great over at low boys.

They were happy when they showed up, and then you gave him a low boy. And they just couldn't wipe that frown. I was like, can you tell the difference? And they all started to just cry. Love boy feels like it's like bent. Like, it's a little soggy on the sides. Yeah.

You hold in the middle and it just both ends dive down. Yeah. Real quick on your, on our research that we have, on you. It said you went to the University of Regina and you studied German, ancient Greek, philosophy, psychology, and film and then dropped out after half a semester. Do you think you tried to study too many complex things? I think I did, but also that was literally my curriculum. Like, the way you say it, it sounds like, whoa, I tried all of these different like fields, but I was just taking, those are literally the classes I took.

Like those are like the five classes. It took you, you quit after one semester, but it took you a whole second semester to tell all your teachers you were leaving. Yeah, because they're so humiliate. There were so many of them. There were so many teachers. No, I just remember I was doing like, yeah, I think everything I took, what was ancient Greek about guys? Why did I do that one? That one is a real left fielder.

But everything I did always ended up being like, how could I use this for? a character. How could this be something I could draw on for understanding people better or whatever. It was all in that vein. Did you have a moment? Like was the reason you left or I'm like, I don't think my future is in Regina are in this school. And I'm going to, was that when you, did you know you're going to be an actor at that point? I had been acting since I was nine, but I got a job in Toronto. And it was like, sorry, guys. And it was in, I was in creative writing at university and I was failing it and then I was like oh I have to quit this class and the teacher's like what are you doing I'm like I'm an actor and he's like oh yeah what's the part I'm like she's a writer

and he was like oh he was really judgmental and then I went off and he's like can I talk to can you set up a phone call with me and she's not right for it I feel like it is very interesting like With that conversation you have to give to somebody, like, at a job or at school when you're like, you actually got a professional acting job? Because it definitely sounds like you're not telling the truth. It's like you're failing. And it's like, I know, but I got news. I got them to be in a TV show. I'm moving.

Bye. Sorry. Bye. Yeah. Yeah, it's only fake. It's only fake. And then was that, it was the first time, had you visited Toronto? Was that a place you guys would go for vacations?

Or did you get there for the first time for work? I think the first time I went there was for like something to do with this movie I did when I was 17 called Ginger Snaps on Leash. I don't know why we went to Toronto, maybe some premiere or something. But that was the first time I was in Toronto. And then other than that, I hadn't, we never really went there. It wasn't really like, it was a jaunt from Saskatchewan. Would you ever come to the States? Oh, boy.

Yes, for improv. We crossed the border from Vancouver down to Bellingham. There was a huge issue with improv smugglers. Actually, here's the thing. When I did that trip, I was going down to Bellingham with these two older improv guys who both had like beards and were just like improv dudes. And I was like, believable. Your story is believable so far. Yeah, so far. But I looked, I looked 12, I looked 10 or 12 for most of my life until like maybe last year and now I've got little wrinkles. But like I always looked like a little kid and they had me in the back on this truck sitting in one of those side seats.

I was wearing a Regina Children's Festival T-shirt. And as we were passing the border, they were like, are you okay? to me in the back? The guy was like, are you okay? I was like, yeah. Like, I'm going to do improv with these guys. I'm going to do a show. I will say, like, if you were watching, like, a really, like, pitch black drama about two kidnappers,

you would not be able to recover if at one point he was like, now remember, if anybody else, we're improvisers. You're like, no, I don't. I'm not scared anymore. It's the funniest cover story. That'd be a real feat though if you could do that. If Daniel Day Lewis could play that role and make it actually like harrowing. Well, the other fun thing would be if there's like then,

now obviously the three of us are going to make this show. Right. So it's like they and then there's a cop. There's a border guard who he's taking some improv classes. So the way he gets all three of them out of the car. Right. And neither are the guys like they keep like turning. down his initiations.

Like, none of them, yes, and. He goes like, zip, and they don't. They don't know what to do. Right. They're like... I wonder how long Daniel Day Lewis would have to take improv classes before he'd be willing to shoot that movie. Yeah.

You guys think we should wait until he agrees to do it? Imagine how good he would be at improv after he had gone through his full training. Oh, his, like... Move over Ben Schwartz. Yeah, it's Ben Schwartz. Well, I think you'd give him, he'd walk into a scene and you would like, you know, you would endow him as somebody. He'd be like, oh, Professor Stevens. I'm so excited to take your history class.

And then he'd be like, I'll be right back. And then he'd like three months later, he'd come back. Right. Because he'd, like, have to do the research. He'd have to read five books about. Yeah. And then somebody would, like edit the scene. And he'd be like, ah.

Is that him? What happened there? That was him, like, realizing, like, Oh, no, I put all that work in. And this just was like for like a four minute scene. And we didn't really get that many laughs. And no one even filmed it. Did you, when was the last time you were like actively improvising?

Or are you still actively? I mean, I use it in work all the time. Right. But but actively I think I did a, I did like Askat back in L.A. Like less than a year ago. Fantastic. Do you still love it? Because I, Josh and I both improvisers, I love it very much.

I don't know if I ever want to do it again due to how stressful I find it. I said totally. Something changed. And it became like, like you, I always had stage fright and I still still do. Like my body really, really reacts before I go on stage. And then the like high of doing the shell and coming off is always so much fun. But it stopped. It started costing more than.

It was giving back. But it's sort of like, I imagine it's like you're German. Like there was time when your German was great and then you go back to Germany and you're like, oh, it's not as sharp and it's the same with improv. There's a time when you wouldn't think about it at all. You'd be like, yeah, I'll go, you got a slot in a show tonight. Good, great, I'm sharp and I'm ready.

And now if someone were to say that, it'd be like, okay. 100%. No, I'll do it. And I watch my friends, my friends who like have continued to do improv and are like such incredible improvisers. Like I watch them and I'm like, oh, there's no way in hell. They're operating on like, you know, 30 years of having done it consistently. Yeah. And they're just so adept and so alive and present.

It's like I still like get that rush watching it though. I remember years ago, the famous swimmer Mark Spitz, like, trying to. to have a comeback. And it was like eight years after his last Olympics. It wasn't like he was like, you know, he wasn't 60 years old. He'd just like, and it was like so exciting. And it was like, oh, my God, Mark Spitz is going to be in the Olympics. And the first race, you were like, oh, he's not going to be in the Olympics.

You're like, he still looks like a swimmer and he still swims really fast. It's just like you never want to get in a pool with people who were like at, like, swimming today. And that's how I feel like that. Also, every other swimmer at that point had shaved their mustaches off. Yeah. And he had no. Just slowed him down. Oh, man.

drags. Yeah, like Spitzie, you got to shave the mustache. He's like, I can't do it, baby. This is me. Spitz's stash. That is a good Spitz impression.

I don't want you to think I'm just doing that voice. Is that actually what Spitz sounds like? He's like, hey, you want to see my five gold medals? He's not all in one Olympics, baby. Spitzie. He's sitting in his metal.

He's smoking a cigar inside of one of his metal. Oh, first of all, you're working with a great Jake Johnson, who's wonderful, and David Gordon Green, who's the best. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. I worked with that, dude. He's so funny. Yeah.

Have you worked, like, what's your relationship with him? Have you worked with him? I did. He directed a pilot that I was in, and then he was an executive producer for this show, Red Oaks. And he's like, he was just off camera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Ennis Esmer. Yeah. He was off camera. just like throwing out lines and so funny. Like, he's an improviser, but not in front of the camera. He's a director who is like as fast and as sharp as the fastest improvisers, but he's just giving other people great lines to say.

And he's so, yeah, so sharp and so funny, yeah. And like absurd, like he'll, even when we were doing, we were filming, the first time I worked with him was on Stronger, which was like the Marathon, Boston, marathon bombing movie like not not like a laugh riot by any means but because it was him he would like there'd be like a nothing scene where i'm like sitting at a diner like ordering something and he would get the woman who was like waiting on me to say something like totally absurd like a nonsense sentence just to like get me to kind of wake up and be like curious about her you know what i

mean like it's like he sort of does things that like elicit a strange human response from you that whether he uses it or not he's got like your weird reaction to something that he can use and it colors the scenes strangely and it sort of makes a person mysterious or like you know what i mean like he's just really yeah he's he's such a little freak in the best way he's a real mischievous When you're talking to him, it always seems like there's gears that are twisting in the back of his head that are like, are you just talking to me right now or are you, yeah, planning something? Where did you shoot this one? This one was in New York.

Oh, great. Like all over New York, which was very fun. That's fantastic. And it's Apple TV. I don't know if we've said that it's Apple TV's maximum pleasure guaranteed. We didn't. We didn't. But we should.

And it looks fun. Looks really fun. I'm excited by it. It moved so quickly. Like, we would do two location moves in a day, like, from, like, Queens to Manhattan. Like, it was wacky. We were really, like, sprawling the city in this way that I'd never really done before. Because I'd only ever shot, like, one day there on a film that summer and then got to work there for the first time, like, for four months.

And it was just, like, it was such a movie. a blast. Where did you live in the city? Where did you, where was home? Greenpoint. Perfect. What time a year was it? What time did you get to be? It was summer to summer to fall. That's okay. I love it. I know like New Yorkers hate the stickiness, but like for me, I do too. I love it. Did you finally get those, that long underwear off? That flew off. I cropped it into little shorts. Yeah. A long, like a long walk on like a hot, sticky New York night is truly my dream. Yeah. I'm like energized by it. All I know is people who are like, ugh.

Wrong. They're wrong. This is it. I'm a year-rounder. I'm a year-rounder. I love it all the time. You do you live it in the winter? Yeah, I guess that's the worst. It's, it is very gray snow immediately. Like it's like five seconds of Winter Wonderland and then it's dirt snow. Yeah. And then it's like I feel like there's still like one hump of snow on our street. It's like I can't believe it hasn't melted. I'm like if they could make the icebergs out of what they make New York snow drifts out of, like we globe warming would not be an issue. The sea levels would be funny.

This is the problem. That is the problem. The icebergs are the problem. All right. We, it's been delightful to talk to you, but now Josh is going to ask you our speed round questions. So prepare yourself. And it should remain delightful. It's not like the delight.

No, this is where it gets. No, this is hard. This is where you can fail. I can't wait. You can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational? Adventurous. I take it back.

You can't, you can't fail. Everything about your vibe is great. Say it. Say it in the style of the world. word. I will. Adventure! What is your favorite means of transportation? A train. 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? Ooh. The first family that came to mind was the royal family, but that's not true. But I'm going to go with that because they got that money. We're going to go

every one, baby. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be? Daniel. Great. Oh, nice. We'd both die so quickly. Yeah, but still. But at least it's over.

It's a suicide pack dancer. Right. What is a dream destination for a family vacation? Family vacation. Hawaii was really nice. All right. You're from Regina, we have established. If you had to get more families to come visit Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

What would you tell them? I tell them, don't worry, mosquito bites are not so bad. And the winter's only nine months long. And we have a festival in the summer called The Taste of Regina. So if that makes you laugh, you're going to have a lot of. It does. And the icon for it was a cherry. I'll let you do the math.

Real. The sense of humor in Regina. Yeah, fantastic. You gotta have it. And then Seth has our final questions. Tatiana, have you been to the Grand Canyon? Yes, but when I was there, it was totally fogged over and it literally looked like a white sheet. I couldn't see it.

They were like, she's from Regina. Let's make her feel at home. Yeah. Let's make it look like the man. So I'm guessed my follow-up question was, was it worth it? But it sounds like your trip, it was not. It made, it was very funny to be, to me. And my husband was very frustrated because he was like,

This was like a big part of our trip. Right. It is very funny to be somewhere that is already, like, from nature. And then nature's like, not today. It's like, ah, uh, ah, you didn't get a magic word. Do you know what that's from? Jurassic Park. That's your speed round question.

Not fair. Lovely, lovely, lovely to see you again. You too. Such a delight talking to you. Next time, Frost Them Tips so that you can compete with the hair changes over here. I mean, I want that to be your sign off all the time. Next time I see you. Next time, Trost them too.

Thanks for being here. Thank you so much. Bye. Bye. Bye. When Tatiana was young, he was just one of one.
