Hey, tripsters. We got a great episode today, but joining me for the intro to this, which is kind of a teaser for our listener episode coming up later in the week, because Seth is away. Seth is traveling. And so our mother, Hillary Myers, aka. Hury N. A.k.a. Mommy girl. But most often, just hurry, is joining me on Thursday. And then is also joining me to help intro this episode. Hi, hurry. Oh, hi, Pashi. You know, on the hurry front, something interesting happened to me at the grocery store. Yeah, please, do tell. So I live in that little town, Bedford, New Hampshire, as you well know. And I'm looking through the tomato department. And I just am kind of talking to myself. And I say, oh, my gosh, these heirlooms look really nice, but they're kind of pricey.

And the lady standing next to me says, hurry? And I said, what? And she said, you're hurry, right? And I said, yes. I'm not generally known by hurry to others. No, it's a pretty exclusive group that calls you hurry. Yes. So she said, I'm a huge fan of the pod and I recognized your voice.

From talking to tomatoes to yourself. My soliloquy with tomatoes. Yeah. Yeah. So she recognized not my face, not the person. picture of me, but my voice, which I did not think was that distinctive, but apparently it is. Yeah, well, I mean, it is to me. I know it. I know it to you when we talk. And she knew it too. Of course, she did know that we were, that the U.N. Seth are from Bedford, New Hampshire.

So I guess that's what maybe gave part of it away. But I was shocked. You've been recognized in New York City, and you've been recognized out in the back. But not by my voice. That's by what I look like. Yeah. Voice is different. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you don't normally, your performances when you go on late night with us for Thanksgiving shows, that's not an audio format. No, no. And I was driving actually to the bank yesterday, and there's a big sign, Sherwin Williams, I guess a new paint store is going in there. And it brought back when we were in the audience, my sisters and I. And Seth made the comment, there they are, the geese, their hair is all different.

shades of Sherman Williams gray slash white colors. And it's true, no dyes. We don't dye our hair. We just let nature take its course. Yeah. You used to, though, didn't you? Oh, years ago. Yeah, in my 40s. Yeah. Yeah. They called it highlights. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Highlights. Yeah. No, I gave that up. You know, a while ago, a couple years ago, just, I'm just teeing this up again for you. But I, had said after a Christmas, I think two Christmases ago, I was driving you and Daddy Boy to the airport, and I said, look, if there's anywhere you guys want to go,

that the other one doesn't want to go to, I'll go with you. Yes, I remember that. And the world of family trips. And also, and, you know, Daddy Boy was just musing, and he was like, well, I'd like to do a safari. I want to, like, go to Africa and do a safari. The last thing on earth I want to do.

Precisely, which is why I, I would go with him. And then yours, do you remember what you said? What did I say? Now I can't remember. You said, oh, there's like an island off the coast of France, and there's just nothing to do. I do remember that. And, I mean, I bet it's beautiful.

You seem to know what it is and where it is and would love to just get a book. There was some artists that had his home there. I can't remember now. But that's what drew me to it. There was an article in the New York Times about basically that's all there is on the island. There's beautiful gardens. And I don't even think there's a restaurant. But anyhow, yeah, that sounds good to me.

I will leave the rhinos and the hippos out of it. Well, yeah. I mean, I think that just sort of goes to show. You guys have had a long, happy marriage that continues, but there's different impulses. There are some differences. There are differences between us. Yeah. So that offer is still out there.

If we want to have some smaller family trips. But for today's episode, we have Taylor Tomlinson, who is, I don't know if you know her, but she's a fantastic stand-up comedian. And she's had countless specials. She's in the middle of writing a book, as she and Sufi will discuss. and her newest special prodigal daughter comes out today.

So check that out. And yeah, we're big fans here in my house. And we're so delighted that she joined us on the pods. So please enjoy this. And first, enjoy a little Jeff Tweety. Hello. The worst part of a Zoom recording where you catch your face at the beginning where you're like,

Is it happening? And you've got to, hello. We would love, we would love to use that as the art for the episode. Thank you for consent. Please do, yeah. That's a great thumbnail, just struggling with technology. Hi, Taylor. Hello.

It's been a while. How have you been? I know. I think I did your show in 2021 because there was no, your crew, it was all on them. Oh, that's right. Yeah, so that was the empty. There was no audience. Yeah.

And they were really lovely. Seth's crew is a good laughing crew. I mean, if you ever happen to be there for connections, it's a great sort of familial vibe. And they are very supportive and good laughers. A couple of those cameramen in particular, big laughers. They row. Actually, our biggest laughing cameraman just left for the Today Show. Oh, no.

We're all, it was a, you notice. And I'm like, oh, no, was this show working because of one person? one person who just is tickled by everything? Well, maybe he's going to laugh so much at the Today Show. They'll be like, this doesn't work over here. They're going to sit in the back there. Like, this isn't the vibe we're looking for. They're like, we're reviewing some serious books and stuff.

Are you on the road now? Are you, or I guess your special's coming out. So you're giving yourself a break? I am giving myself a break. I have to start doing press and stuff now, and I go to New York in a couple weeks. But, yeah, I'm not on the road right now at the moment. How many times did you do this hour before you filmed it?

Oh, gosh, I don't know. I didn't count. I mean, I usually tour for like a year and a half, a year and a half, and then I record it. Do you count the number of shows you do before? Just because I do, I feel like I do a great many fewer than you because I'm on the road a lot less. So I think, like, yeah, I can count like it's like, it's more like 40. Okay. Which is not as many as I should.

Well, yeah, Taylor, I mean, on my little stat sheet, it says you did, I saw you in 2023 at the Pantages, by the way. Oh, fantastic. Oh, thank you. Yeah. No, my wife and I came down. She's a big fan and I get all the alerts of like shows that are coming in. So I was there 10 a.m. sort of like when they release tickets.

Yeah. But you did that one 130 times. So you must have been traveling. Yeah, I was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think this one I probably did less because I was also hosting after midnight for a lot of the tour. So it was naturally a little bit less. So, you know, we'll see.

Maybe this specials not as tight. There should be a disclaimer at the beginning. I was working two jobs. Yeah, exactly. Because if you hate this, you know, it's still my fault, but here's why. But yes, I have reason. Now, I do want to get back to when you were a child. But when you do 130 shows in a year, are you one of those touring comedians who takes advantage of a place you go?

Or are you somebody like me who, unless you're dragged out the door by, say, your opener, you just stay in a hotel room all day? I'm going out because I tour so much that at a certain point I realized, like, I think you hit a point where you go, oh, I'm trying not to spend any money on the road, whether that be on meals or hotels or. certain, like the comfort upgrade on a flight. And then you go, what am I saving the money for? You're like, well, I'm saving it for my life. And you go, well, 80% of your life is tour. Yeah. So that doesn't make as much sense.

So I really started making an effort a few years ago to, like, I look stuff up before I go to the city. I try to do stuff. I don't ever like eat the thing. Like, you know, when you go to a city and everyone's like, you got to get. the chili cheese artery clog dog and it'll change your life and you're like, well, there's a famous chili cheese dog in every city, every weekend. And if I do that, I'll die.

Yep. So I never am able to do that. So I'm always looking for like museums and coffee shops and whatever else. I always like ask people on Instagram for recommendations. And then my social media manager, who's amazing, will. compile them for us in like a list. And so then when we wake up on Friday morning with nothing to do and 12 hours to go before the show, we just go, all right, what's within walking distance and what can we get too quickly?

And it's like, well, unfortunately, we got 1,200 is the most mentioned. And it's all for the chili cheese artery clogged on. And it's right around the block. Yeah. It is a bummer because I will, my favorite kind of tourism is food tourism. but if I have a show at night, I don't want to eat. Like, I can't enjoy a big lunch. And then when a show's over, it's like too late to eat a big meal.

Yeah. Can you go to sleep quickly after a show? Ish, but not. I also, like, for me, the difference is, like, when it's after a show, it's like a rare night where I'm not with my, like, three children. So I just feel like it's such valuable time to just do something that I want to do. So, like, I'll, like, force myself to. stay awake to like watch a movie just because I know like the next night I'll be back with them

and have no freedom. Right, right. You really are making parenthood sound awesome. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I'll be back with them with no freedom. With no freedom because they're little tyrants. Do you tour with the same people? Do you have the same openers the whole time? Usually, yeah. I have like, it was my best friend, Dustin Nickerson, for the first couple tours I had. He was on pretty much every date. And then this last tour was, there was like five people that I kind of went to, depending on who was available or whatever city it was. And that was actually really fun because then you get more people's input. Like, I don't know if, yeah, if like, do you have the same opener? Or do you? Yeah. Do you know Brooks Wheelan? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And Brooks is like, he's very intrepid

and very much like, let's go. So he's, and then he brings me to very shady places. And, uh, you escape. Then it's into your life. But it's where I like that kind of person. Yeah. But he's like, you'll have no freedom tomorrow. We got to go.

We got to go. I actually, I had a question for you guys because you guys have been doing this podcast for what? A couple years. Yeah. Yeah. And whose idea was it to work together? And did you guys have any fear about working together being so close and like we're in?

Because I hired one of my siblings. Yeah. I think the fear is that we sound too much alike. Yeah. to do an audio format of anything. But yeah, it was Seth's idea. Seth, you know, was thinking about doing a podcast, and now he has four.

No, I'm just too. But we, I will say one of the things was we had tried, we collaborated, we're attempted to collaborate, like on writing things, but we're on opposite coasts. And it was, like, really tricky to, like, find times to, like, do that kind of creative collaboration, whereas, like, this seemed like the smoothest version where we just each get to be like the authentic versions of ourselves.

So it's like a lighter lift and a bigger reward, which is so rare to find something that's both. Yeah. But it's like an excuse to hang out, I'm sure. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there was where no one's, no one's upset. There were some, you know, technical difficulties this morning.

But as there were, Seth and I just get to chat for like, you know, eight minutes, which I don't care for the telephone. I don't like it. We, you know, we rarely would have a long phone conversation, but we come on here, like, between guests or, you know, after we're done recording, we still chat for a little while, which is really nice. You don't like the phone with anybody? I don't like the phone with anyone. Really? Yeah. Neither does our mother.

Yeah. Although mom and I did talk for like 20 minutes yesterday, which was really nice. Yeah. But our parents usually, yeah, we'll text. But our parents will usually get on the phone together. So you're on speaker, and it's just not the same. They also will, like, sort of snipe at each other during those calls. And it's like, maybe let's, I'll talk to you each individually.

You can tell me the same stories with your own sort of take on it, but you don't need to correct each other in real time if you disagree with. I get so tight when I get so tense when I know my dad started telling me something my mom's already told me because she can't let it go. She's like, I told him. And then he's like, I didn't know. And then I'm just like, it's a real flashback to our youth, Taylor. Yeah.

Where you're just like a bystander for them working out their stuff. You have, are your, you have three, you said you hired one of your siblings. What did you hire them to do? Oh, my gosh. I mean, I think at the time I was like, I really need an assistant. And then it's like, they are now like my handler, if anything. I was like, I don't even know if there's that. Oh, yeah.

I'm like, I don't even know if we have a title important enough for you because I finally had somebody that I could go to my team and go, this, this is also me. Right. Like, if you need an answer to something and Bryn tells you something, that's the same as me giving you an answer on something. And there's been obviously nobody else that I work with that I trust enough to speak on my behalf and make decisions on my behalf and community. what I would like in any given situation. And it took like a couple years where I was like, you know, you could come work for me. And Bryn was like, yeah, maybe. And finally, when I got them to, it's like been such a game changer for me.

I don't know if they like it. But I really, I really enjoy it. That, I mean, I've worked with the same, you know, producer of the entirety of my show at Late Night, who is that sort of proxy for me? Like he has, everybody knows that if he says something, they don't have to double check with me. And it is so nice to eliminate any of that, like, rubber stamping because it just takes up too much of your time.

It's decision fatigue, right? Yeah. It's funny, I think, I don't know how you were because I feel like, I mean, I would imagine that you are very detail-oriented based on, like, the quality of your work. But, like, being in a talk show, it's so funny because I want to, all I really want to do is, like, comedy stuff. and like every other question, I'm like, oh, I don't, yeah, somebody else.

Like, who's the expert on this? I defer to them. Yeah. Like, I have no, I have no opinion about lighting. Right. So just go crazy. Yeah. That's so funny.

I do have an opinion about lighting because I'm a woman in Hollywood. But I, like, I had a lot of opinions about lighting. But sure, other stuff, yeah. I'm like, yeah, it's all you guys. Obviously, anything technology-wise, I have no. Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. Support comes from DeleteMe.

Are you right with that, Pashi? Yeah, please. We had a bar mitzvah in Austin, Texas, and we were trying to find a hotel to stay at. And then we realized, you know what, we'll be nice, is if we have sort of a home base where maybe other people can stop by.

And we had a lot of friends and family that were there. And it was so lovely to have a beautiful lawn on a gorgeous day where people would stop by and hang out with us. And it was all because we booked through Airbnb. Well, that's just terrific, Suf. Yeah, we played football on the front lawn. A little wiffle ball in the front lawn? When was the last time you played a wiffle ball in front of a place you stayed that wasn't booked on Airbnb? I could not tell you.

Yeah. I mean, hotels are great, but they're not going to let you play a wiffle ball. No. And if you do it at a house, you didn't book on Airbnb, they're kind of like, Get off my lawn. Yeah. When you reserve a home on Airbnb, you receive space to spend time with your family without hanging in a hotel lobby. Places to stay in the coolest parts of city, not the touristy parts, a place to cook and dine together.

No worries. disturbing others. Booking a trip on Airbnb makes for a better trip. You can be traveling with family, looking to discover authentic and local experiences. So three younger siblings, correct? I have three younger siblings, yeah. And we're all two years apart.

Is Bryn closest to you? Brin is closest to me. So Brin is like, we're like this. And were you always like that? Yeah, we were always like that. We were always like that. And then are the other two close with each other? Yeah, all four of us are really, really close, which have you guys always been close as well, like growing up too?

Yeah, and it's just you two. Yeah. And it's just you two. I was going to ask you this, do you feel like you make other people feel bad about their relationships with their siblings because yours is so good? Yes. Yeah. And I think the other crazy thing is I don't, it didn't ever occur to me that we were an outlier. You know what I mean?

Like when you're close with your siblings and you're close with your parents, like it seems so natural. And then it's like the longer you go in life, people are like, oh my God, you know, you're so lucky to have that kind of connection. I'm like, how'd you blow it? They were right there.

I'm like, that was on a tea for you, bro. That's so funny. Yeah, we have that as well. And also my mom's sister had five kids and they were all kind of within a year of us and they're all really close. So we really grew up going, everybody's siblings are like, you know, super, super close. And then you get older and people are like, I never speak to my brother. You're like, oh, yeah.

So were the nine of you hanging out, all those cousins and all your siblings growing up? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we were hanging out growing up. And that was in Temecula? So I grew up in like Stockton, Modesto until I was like nine, and then I was in Temecula after that. Yeah. Gotcha.

And Temecula is real. My wife is an equestrian and has shows down there a lot. And it's like wine country, horse country, hot air balloon country. Yeah. Yeah. And then you should leave. Those are the three. Check them off.

What's the shortest amount of time you can do those three things in? Yeah. If you can stack them on a. Saturday and be back. If you can get your horse on the hot air balloon to double it up, I highly recommend. Just bring a bottle of wine and done and done. Done and done. Does Temecula have a theater that you've done stand-up in?

Have you ever gone? Or no, it's not that big. Oh, well, I guess that's not true. There's the casino there. Yeah. But I have not done stand-up there because I usually, I do L.A. and San Diego, which are like two hours and one hour away. Right. And also, I don't want to.

So it's like the teachers I want to come see me, they make the drive to San Diego, you know. And I bet right. And I think they'd probably rather have a reason to go to San Diego. It sounds like. And that's who I do it for. I do it for them. To give them a reason to get out. Did you, were you close with teachers?

Did you have teachers that you, that still are? are sort of engaged with you? I have one teacher, my creative writing teacher in, and I think I also had her for like AP English, my junior year, but she, her name's Miss Morland, shout out. And she always comes to shows when I'm in town, and I still talk to her. That's great.

And she's very cool, yeah. Yeah. Our creative writing teacher, Mr. Sullivan, rest in peace. But he was, I mean, completely turned my life around. Genuine. Really? Yeah, he was incredible. How so?

He had that thing where he recognized talent and had no patience for laziness. And he would just tell you, like, that thing of, like, a teacher actually saying, are you really going to blow it? Yeah. You know, like, are you going to blow it? What a disappointment. Yeah. Because I kind of felt like I was charming enough to get away with being a shitty student.

And he was not, he was immune to my charm. Right. Did you, and you had him as well, John? I had him as well. I remember him, like, his, the things he would write on essays or short stories were always, like, he was so enthusiastic. He also, I remember very specifically, he always said, like, letters or gifts. When you write someone a letter, you're giving them a gift. It doesn't have to be returned, but you have given someone a gift.

And then I just turned 50 and my wife sort of coordinated for all my friends and all my family. She like went through my phone and reached out to people and was like, can you write Josh a letter and like handwrite a letter? And I still haven't gone through all of them. It's like it's almost a month past my birthday because they're all like long. They're all very touching. And it is like, they truly are gifts. My father also tried to get away with writing an email and telling my wife to print it out. And she was like, no, Larry, you handwrite this and send it. And he was like, I don't know if you'll be able to read it. But it's like, I can read your writing. You're my father. I've been reading it my whole life. And it is that much more impactful because it is handwritten. And it's, yeah, sort of. And Joe Sullivan was on the forefront of that. And then we'd see him at Red Sox games. And he was just, yeah, he was a great guy. Did you have the same dynamic with him where he was immune to your charms and he was encouraging you after the way? I feel like I was more charming than Seth. I might still be. He was like, you don't have to work hard. He goes, your brother? You're good. That's all bullshit.

I can't believe I've never said this to a student before, but you can coast. Did you, and were you of the, I mean, I don't mean to have you throw shade on your siblings, but were you the funny one growing up? No, we're all really funny. I mean, and I think they're like comedian funny. I don't think they're just like, yeah, my siblings are hilarious. Like, I think they are genuinely so, so funny. my youngest sister, Dreia, I did at one point go, you know, you could do stand-up and then maybe, you know,

then we go on the road together. And she was like, no, I'm going to become a professor instead. And I was like, okay. Like, you think that's important, I guess. But no, like, none of them ever showed interest in stand-up. But they all did, like, drama in high school. And they're all very creative and cool and funny. And definitely are very supportive of me.

Yeah. But I think also keep me humble in a very nice way. Also, it's just helpful to have siblings who are like a trustworthy audience. Yes. You know, don't just love comedy, but if they're also funny themselves, I feel like you feel like that's a true bounce. Yes, absolutely. Like before you put out a special, do you make Josh watch The Hour a bunch? I send him audio recordings.

Yeah, there was one that I sort of, I came to see you do like, I saw you do San Diego. and then we flew from there up to Vegas. That's right. And I'm, I love watching him, but at the same time, I do think of like, oh, maybe this, maybe this. So, like, you know, I can think in his voice. Also, there's a fair amount of, like, talking about, I certainly in the first special, there was a lot of talking about our parents. So, yeah, it was helpful.

It's good to fact check, that kind of stuff. Yeah, like, I'm working on, I'm also, I'm working on a book right now. And so it's been nice to go back to my siblings and go, did this happen? And sometimes they're like, no. Yeah. That didn't happen. I'm working on a book as well. Is it the hardest thing you've ever done?

Or is it coming to easy? No, it's not coming to me easy, but it's been kind of up and down. Yeah. We're like, they had me turn in like the first 25,000 words, you know, whatever, a year ago. And you're like, I've got that, like, here. And then after that, I was like, oh, shit for maybe six months. And then I got back into it. groove, but it wasn't like pouring out of me after that.

It was like, I have, like, do you have a word count you hit every day? And friend, you just talked to me. Like, it was like looking in a mirror. That first 25,000 words. And I also, I turned it in on time, which is uncommon for me. And my editor. And they probably told you they made such a big deal about it, I bet. They were like, writers never turn it in on time.

They never hit the deadline. Which is the craziest thing to tell you because then you're like, oh. So there's a huge cushion. Yeah. I'm so ahead of the curve. And then cut to me going, so for that full manuscript, going to need another three months. I'm going to need to just erase all the goodwill I've earned.

I also, I mean, again, talk about somebody who did not understand how their own life worked. But it was during the writer's strike was when I agreed to do it. Because it made total sense, right? Like, I have all this time. And then it was like the most I've ever been a parent. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Because, you know, I have a, my wife, my kids are very supportive of what I do.

But like, if you don't leave for an office, they're like, hey, what do you doing? They're like, no, no, no, no. Talk about not being able to coast on charm. You really can't do that. Oh, no. I mean, also, they don't find me even a little bit charming. Really? They really don't.

My kids are not at all charmed by me. It's the funniest thing because we walk to school. And, you know, New Yorkers are very nice. Like, nobody ever, like, stops us or slows us down. but a lot of times people will be like, hey, I love the show. And they're always like, what's that about? I'm like, Daddy works and people like it. I don't know what to tell you.

You're like, you've been on the show. They're like, oh, that? Yeah. By the way, there's an interesting thing with their appearance on the show, which is it, they did so well that I can't tell them how much positive feedback they've received. You know what I mean? Like, I'm like, oh, I'm going to try to get away with that just being a positive experience on the day and not inflate their, own egos about it. But surely they're going to school with kids who have phones who can be like two million views, right? Yeah. I mean, I'm hoping. I'm hoping not. We, they go to one of those

schools where I feel like they're not going to let them have phones until they graduate, like they're going to give them a phone during the diplomas. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah. They're all sub 10 these kids. Yeah, they're not teenagers. Yeah, but people are, but people are giving their kids phones at like eight, right? Yeah, but then there was this book, the anxious generation that came out like a couple years ago, a year ago. And it's like spun everybody out and I think a pretty positive way where like there's a huge swing to like not let them have phones. It's made all the parents more anxious. The kids are less anxious. The kids are having no anxiety. The parents are like all the time. Yeah. Oh, gotcha. Gotcha. Because how old are your oldest? Nine. Nine. Okay. Yeah. He's mostly and it's

all he wants is a video game system. He doesn't care about like social media. He just wants to play big games. all the time. Okay. Yeah, I'm like, do kids care about, like, Instagram and stuff anymore? I don't know if they do it. It's such a good question. I don't know if they do. I don't. If it helps, I don't. Josh managed to avoid it. You're not on social media at all? I am because I have to, like, post about this show or another show. It's fun to do a podcast with a co-host who has no social media footprint. It's the worst. The worst thing for everyone. No, it's great. It's good. You can get the word out by mouth. Yeah. Just go door to door.

Yeah. So I know your mom passed away when you're really young. And so was your dad a funny person? Yeah. My dad was funny. My mom was funny. Like my whole family is pretty funny. That's great.

And that's similar to your sibling thing, right? Where you kind of go, like your parents too are funny and you too are funny. And you just go, everybody's family is funny, right? And then you go to a friend's house and their dad, you know, tries to do. tries to do something and you're like, that's not funny. Or even the weirder is when you go to people's house and like their, I remember as a kid where like their parents don't even try to be funny. It's not even that they're like hacky.

They're just like humorless. They don't even realize that that's a way to communicate. Yeah. Now I can. You're too scary to even like bust on. Right. So what did you guys like, were you the kind of family that would pile into a car and go somewhere? The only place we really went was Disneyland.

because we grew up in California. And before my mom died, we really didn't have money. And when my team was like, do you want to do Seth and Josh's podcast, do you have like family vacation stories? And I was like, I don't know if this is too dark, but like hospice sent us to Disneyland after our mom died. Is that anything? And they were like, I mean, I don't think anyone's done that one.

That's true. And we're still trying to figure out exactly how it happened because I don't know if like somebody donated Disneyland tickets to hospice and we're like, give this to a grieving family or what. Also just a real weird vibe to go into a Disneyland trip with where you've just experienced like the worst loss of your life. And then you're like, so let's get in line for teacups, I guess. It's a weird move. And I think we'd gone like once before as a family. And then we went quite a bit when we got older. My dad got remarried.

And then we moved to Southern California. And then we were like an hour drive away. So we never did like a trip again where we stayed overnight nearby. But we would like go for the day quite a bit. But we didn't really go on trips other than that. There were so many of us. and it's so expensive. So that was kind of all we did as far as trips got.

It's fascinating. There must be a burden as a grieving kid as well to feel like you have to performatively be having a good time at Disney World because you know people have done it to put you in a good mood, which must be exhausting. That's really interesting because I think we were all really young. I mean, my youngest sister was two and I was eight. and my brother and other siblings were four and six. So I don't know that we were totally aware of what was going on. I mean, I was probably the most aware being the oldest. And at that time, you're kind of like, well, none of this is real.

I'm in a film, you know? All the Disney movies I've seen, the mom's gone. So I must be a Disney princess. Like, you kind of are just, it's all about you in your head and you'll process it for the next 10 years. But I don't remember feeling like I had to make use of the generosity. I don't remember going through the front gates, like, all right, turn it on, enjoy this. But I'm sure my dad felt like that probably.

I'm sure my dad felt like, okay, we got to like, I can't imagine how hard that was going with four small kids. And I think like one of my grandparents came to help out and like a family friend. Because, again, it's a lot of us. Like, when we got older and we went to Disneyland, you could set us loose. Like, that's what's great about a theme park like that is your parents can go and do their own thing or sit at a cafe and you can go get in line. What is, what do you think the ages where you can let your kids lose to the theme park? As I'm considerably not there.

It also probably depends on the theme park, right? So, I don't know. Maybe, like, I would say, like, 10. Six flags. It's like 27, 28. I was going to say, yeah, Six Flags, probably not. Disneyland feels like 10 maybe.

All right. Right? Yeah, yeah. You think? I don't know. We still haven't done it. You haven't done it? No.

But they haven't, like, been to any amusement parks. Ashley, your eldest has been to the one in Amsterdam, but other than that. I mean, I guess your father-in-law took them to Coney Island, which is a bit of has. It's more like a museum, I feel like then. But because they haven't been anywhere, they loved it. So that was good. Yeah. Kids don't have phones.

Haven't been to an amusement park. I mean, what kind of ship are you running over there? They've been on television and their father won't even tell them they did good. They won't even show them the numbers. Did they ask? They won't show them, but they're like, what are the numbers? They do. What are your sort of marquee rides at Disneyland if you're going with the siblings?

Is there a battle about we're going to do this? we're going to do this? Not really because we're all so, like, we just want to be together. And especially as you get older, I mean, I'm sure you two understand being on separate coasts. I mean, there's four of us and we're all adults and we're all busy. And so getting the four of us together is like an event enough. So if we just walk around, we feel like we had a great time.

We got our steps in. We got a coffee. We talk shit all day. the best. But if we are going to try to go on rides, I think it depends on the mood, but like probably the obvious answers. I think like Space Mountain is, well, Space Mountain is number one for me. I want to speak for everyone. I'll listen to this and be like, how dare you? You know, it's pirates. I think, yeah, probably the big ones. But then you don't want to wait in line all day. So you just kind of go in and go, all right, what's going to take the longest? And now, Disneyland does

the thing where they charge you for a couple of the rides on top of the ticket, which is crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's really wild. Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. Support comes from Marley Spoon. Every year I tell myself, I'll get better about meal planning.

Let's Cook with Hexclad's revolutionary cookware. Do you make time then to get together with all your siblings? Like annually, do you go somewhere or do you go home? I don't know where your dad lives now. Well, I'm trying to do more siblings trips. Yeah. I'm really trying. I was also for a very long time, not a very long time, but like,

couple years, I was the only single one. So everybody else had partners. And so I had no partner and the most free time, which means you're the one who's always texting everyone going, hey, who wants to hang out? And I'm the oldest. So I'm also kind of like, I have a parental thing

where I feel a little bit like an empty nest or sometimes where I'm like always bothering everybody. It's like, I'm like, come spend the night. Come, come on. I have a guest bedroom. I got it. So you'd come stay the night. And then even when they do come stay the night, I'm trying to bribe them to stay for another couple days where I'm like, okay, do you want a smoothie?

They're like, I needed to leave an hour ago. I don't know why this happened. The guest room has a lock on the outside. And I don't, I didn't ask for that. No, and I called maintenance and they want to fix it, but they're on vacation. And, you know, but everything could be done over Zoom now, I think. So when you say work, I'm kind of like, what? I just, I have Wi-Fi.

But yeah, I'm always really desperate. I feel a little needier than they do, I think, sometimes, because I'm pretty obsessed with them. But this year especially, because I am always on tour, and that is hard to plan with. Because, you know, most people have weekends off, and I'm like, that's when I'm not only working, I'm fully gone. But sometimes they'll come out on the road with me.

I mean, Bryn working with me now. was on tour with me for the entire last tour. And that was incredible, because then we'd run around and do stuff during the day. And then they would, like, help with my show and then also, like, give me notes on the hour that we'd go over after. Like, just incredible.

Like, so much fun. And being on tour, you go a lot of places. So, yeah, this year, a big goal for me is, like, I want to do, like, multiple siblings trips, especially because, you know, once people start having kids and stuff, I just know it's going to get harder. So I'm trying to make the most of that pre-kid time.

And you're not going to want to hang out with them anymore once they have a kid. You know what's funny is Dreia was talking to me the other day and she goes, because I don't know that I'm going to have kids, but I'm, you know, I'm excited to be an aunt and stuff. And Dreia goes, well, aren't you excited for us to have kids, you know, and meet our kids and hang out with them? And I was like, yes, but also I'm going to have to compete with your kids. for your time.

And I'm already competing with your job and the person you're dating and your desire for autonomy. And it's just a lot already. And so I don't know. Andrea was like, you're competing with the kids we haven't had yet? Like, are you okay?

And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were having an open and honest dialogue about our feelings. But, yeah, no, I'm excited. You know, every year for Thanksgiving, that was the show my kids were on. Also, my brother and my parents are the guests every year live. And we pre-taped the kids.

And so Josh was backstage with my parents, both of whom were like, oh, thunder stolen. I was going to say, I was going to ask, like, obviously kids aren't checking the numbers. Josh, are you checking the numbers? I mean, yeah. I mean, they hit pretty hot, and then we had to come out after them. I think, like, following them was a bit of a. you know, shot across the bow.

Yeah. So they, we, I will say that it's always, our Thanksgiving show is on after NBC has a Thanksgiving football game. So it's historically our highest rated show of the year only because it's on after a football game. It's just full lead-in math. And yet, my parents know that it's the highest rated show of the year. So as far as checking the numbers, they are acutely aware of how good the numbers are. And they're like, look, they could turn it off.

And as a matter of fact, you know, they've been watching TV all day. So it's kind of more. It's a big deal that they keep it on with all that turkey in their belly. Do you, how does your family feel about material? Because obviously, that's something that's been in your act for a long time. Are they all cool with it? I mean, it depends on the material. I've definitely run material by, like, I remember I ran a joke past my grandma once about something she had said.

And she thought about it for a couple days and was like, actually, I'd prefer you didn't. And it wasn't anything terrible. It was just, you know, people don't necessarily want you to talk about the things they said in private. And I have never felt like it was worth destroying a relationship with somebody close to me, whether that be friend, partner, or family member for like, whatever, 90 seconds of laughs, no matter how many tags there are. but it's you know it really just does depend on the the situation like i did jokes about my in the

special that's coming out um the there's a bit i do about my uncle who's a pastor and i actually didn't run those jokes by him which maybe i should have but they were so positive about him that i didn't think i needed to and he he's never told me he didn't like them he's been like supportive and sweet about it. And I think he was like, those are nice things. Thank you for saying that. So I don't worry about it if I'm saying nice things. But certainly, like, jokes about my siblings, too.

Like, in years past, I've been like, hey, like, this isn't a mean joke about you, but it does contain information about you. And maybe you don't want that out there, right? Like, maybe you don't just, I don't know. Some people just don't want to be talked about publicly. But they've always been really cool. And I don't know that there's anything my siblings have said, hey, don't say that on stage, actually. I mean, it's great.

I mean, your instinct to, because by the way, I don't think it would have destroyed the relationship with your grandmother, right? But like, even just to put, have any negativity, it's like just a better idea not to. Yeah. Also, like, my grandparents are religious and I'm not and I'm already probably straining a relationship by swearing so much. I'm talking about sex. They're like, we're working a lot on your other material. Exactly. We do have some stuff. We'd like you to cut some stuff, but it has nothing to do with us.

We just think you're coming off a little. A little. Were your grandparents local to you, or did you travel to them when you were younger? They were local to us when I was up in Stockton-Modesto. So I grew up until I was like five, we lived like next door to them. Okay. And then we were like 20 minutes from them. And then when we moved to Southern California, that was actually the other, the other place we went and we went like every school break my my dad and my stepmom would drive us like halfway they would meet my

grandparents halfway uh so everyone would drive like two and a half hours and then we'd meet at a travel center and we would all pile into my grandparents car and then we would drive to their house and stay for like a week and then we would do the same thing a week later how was what was a week like at your grandparents What kind of life was that? The best. I mean, because they live in like a rural area. So it was like just like a lot of time outside and we, you know, go to thrift stores and bookstores and just like watch movies and hang out with our cousins and be dumb.

And now as an adult, it's like so hard to get the four of us to be able to go for even like two days. Like we did it recently actually where the four of us after like, months of trying were able to go up and see them. And it was like, okay, we have two days to get in there and do this. And of course, like, it's during the holidays and people are sick and work is tough. And so it's just, it's a struggle always, but it's like it just always makes me feel like we're, you know, teenagers again. I would imagine it means the world to your grandparents as well.

Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I try to go and see them like as much as possible. And again, I tour. So I'm like in Sacramento, San Francisco. I'm everywhere all the time. So it's much easier for me to like stop by even if it's just for like a night. And to me it feels like home. So it's like I saw them a couple weeks ago and just like went on the way to something else and just like hung out with them.

for the night and like got there made tea was like I'm gonna make eggs like just very very much like home on college break when you're all there are you a game playing family are you a conversation family like what's your if you're sitting around in the living room what's the you tv watching family i think we're more conversation and movies or we'll talk through movies that we've seen like last time we were there we watched uh ever after was a lot of like us going, oh, I forgot about this part and like, oh, this is the part we always quoted as kids. And like, I don't know if you guys had movies like that where you would remember certain lines

and then you say them as an inside joke so many times for years that you forget they're from a movie. And then later you see them and you go, oh, we didn't come up with that. I thought that was just us. Right. But it was, we were quoting, we were quoting this. So we do a lot of that. And I think we do play games sometimes, but, I mean, there were a few years where, like, you know, apples to apples was really big.

Yeah, that was a good one. For a few years there, yeah. My father-in-law and my brother-in-law say, all righty then, all the time. And I heard one of them go, when did we first started saying that? And I'm like, when you saw Ace Ventura? What do you mean? Like, who coined that? Did we coin that?

Are we? And then when do we get our coins? Yeah. We're not even quoting comedies. We're quoting ever after. Yeah, that's true. We're quoting the child who's playing young Drew Barrymore yelling, it's tradition.

Like, that's what we're quoting. My wife loves the movie legend more than anything else. And, like, she puts it on when her dad, her dad was just here for my wife's birthday. And like, that man has had to watch legend so many times. And you can see, he just sort of glosses over. And I say it's a terrible movie. My wife will hate me for saying this.

But she just loves it so much. But she's not putting it on for him. She's putting it on for her. And she's putting it on to sort of feel that like I'm, I'm here with my dad on a couch watching a movie. And it's like, as a birthday. thing, you know, who's not going to give for what she wants. She misses forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do. That's what it is?

Yeah, that's. Because what are you not into? I hope when I'm, you know, on my deathbed, my daughter will come in and be like, I'm going to just watch a peppa pig over here. So that the last thing you can hear is that infernal theme song. Have you had any sort of standout sibling trips that you have managed to take with just the four of you or with partners as well. Ooh, gosh, a standout sibling trip.

I mean, again, being on tour is so unfair because, like, I was in, like, Europe and the UK doing shows over the summer, and we were gone for, like, five weeks. And it was me, my sibling Bryn, and Sophie Buttle, who's a very funny comic and one of my best friends who opens for me. And so it was just the, the three. of us, like, running around Europe for a month and a half. And I, like, left days in between. I learned the first time that I did some international touring, like, okay, for sleep purposes and also so that you can actually go out and do things and you're not just going from, like,

the airport to the show, back to the airport to a train. You need to, like, leave some room in between cities. So like we got to Copenhagen a few days early because we'd never been and like got used to the sleep schedule and ran around and did everything we wanted to do and then did the show and then went to Amsterdam and like it was so so fun and the shows were great too. But the fact that we got to do this like massive insane trip that was paid for by my dumb ass jokes was like crazy are you good with venue memory do you know where you played in amsterdam uh i you know what i wasn't even in amsterdam i was in rotterdam gotcha so that's and i i don't remember why i think maybe the venue was like bigger or something there was a reason

why my agents were like you have to do this but it's rotterdam was like 45 minutes away so i'm like i still want to stay in amsterdam no offense to rotterdam but i i'm not i'm I was like, we'll stay in Amsterdam, we'll run around, and then we'll just go to the show and come back to Amsterdam. What was your favorite European city from last summer's tour? Oh, gosh. I mean, it was also like during that heat wave. So we were like, and a lot of venues didn't have AC.

So I remember different things. Like I remember when we did when I was in Sweden, that room had AC. And so the show, I have no idea how it went. I just remember I was very comfortable on stage. And then we went to, I think our last stop was Helsinki. And I'd like never been to Finland before. I didn't know what to expect. And so to do like multiple shows and those crowds were amazing.

But the venue was so hot. I was. So I always wear a jacket on stage and I couldn't over there. I was like wearing just the thinnest shirt you could find and still just like drenched in sweat afterward. I mean, there was one night I think I cut some jokes because I was like, I'm going to pass out. Of course, the audience is fine because of sonic culture.

So like, even they were like, they were fanning themselves. And at a certain point, you go, oh, I don't, that this, I don't think that's them like, that's not from the jokes. That's not them like, you know, nobody's, I don't hear any clap. That's your way your grandmother does. She has to fan herself when she walks it. She's like, oh, dear. Yes, exactly.

We're talking religion again, are we? Yeah, it's very triggering, is what I'm saying. I'm so excited for prodigal daughter. It comes out on Netflix February 24th, and it's so great to talk to you again. It's been too long. Yeah, it's so good to talk to you. You had, I just want to say, a fantastic run with, after midnight. Thank you.

It's not what it's. It was. It's a different one. Yeah, it's slightly slightly different. But it was a great show, and it was amazing. What a great job you did bring on so many great new comedians. A lot of the younger comedians that I know now were because they were panelists on that show, which was awesome. Oh, that's great. Yeah, we had, I mean, our bookers were so good. And there were so many people on that I hadn't seen in forever that I'd, like, you know, come up in the clubs with, or there were comedians that I didn't know personally that I got to meet or, like, ones I was introduced to as well. And, you know, it was, you get really spoiled. I'm sure you feel similarly. Like you get really spoiled going to work where the whole point is for everyone you're interacting with to be their most entertaining, sparkly selves. And they just come, when they come to see you, you're like, oh, my God.

Yeah. This is so nice. Yeah. And they like make you laugh. And then you have to go back to just like normal life. And you're like, oh, man, this is not. sustainable. I can't be this entertained all the time. I'll become a monster. Before we let you go, Josh is going to hit you with our speed round.

Okay, I'm ready. All right, here we go. You can only pick one of these. Is your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational? Ooh, I think right now, because I haven't been on tour and I'm bored, adventurous. What is your favorite means of transportation? I like 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, family as a whole? Yeah. Oh, that's tough. I'm going to say Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls.

All right, great. Good one. I don't know if we've gotten that one before, but that's why I went with it. Has anyone said this one? I mean, I think there's probably a lot of agreement from our listeners right now. First Disney World paid for by hospice. First, Gilmarts. Yes.

If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your family, who would it be? Oh, I shouldn't answer this quickly because I have three siblings. But Brann. Yeah, all right. We were going to say Brin. If you had to answer, we were going to say Brin. It was pretty clear to us. What is your dream destination for a family vacation?

I would really like the four of us to go to, I'd really like the four of us to go to London together or Japan because I haven't been to Japan yet. So those are my two right now. All right. Great. And your hometown, is it Stockton, Modesto, Temecula? Where are you from? That's the thing. I probably should say Temecula because it's most recent, but I don't want to. Okay, well, this is good then because if you had to get more families to come visit Temecula, you're the head of the Board of Tourism down there. How would you pitch it? I mean, they don't have to know your real thoughts on it, but. I mean, I think the wine country balloon horse triphecta is probably, yeah, that's probably the best. But I will say, I think the public library there is really good.

There you go. And I went back there to, when I was stuck on the book, I went back to Temecula for a day just to like shake some childhood memories loose. And I went to that library to write for a few hours. And it was packed. There were so many people in there. Yeah, it was really cool. And then there's like an old town Temecula, which is like a strip of like, you know, shops and bars and restaurants and stuff. Like they've got like a rooftop bar and restaurant there now.

which like overlooks the freeway. I'm like, this is, you guys, what are we doing out here? Who do we think we are in Temecula? And we're doing a rooftop bar, but good for them. And I get, yeah, people like the casino, I think. I'm really selling it. You really are. I mean, watch their numbers.

Their numbers are going to spike. But of the three of Modesto Stockton and Temecula, Temecula is the easiest one to sell probably if someone's. Like, here's what I always say about Temecula. I think that if I was there for a weekend of shows and I wasn't from there or anything, it would be a great weekend of shows for me. Like, there would be plenty of stuff to do during the day to fill up three days in that city. All right. And then Seth has our final questions.

Taylor, have you been to the Grand Canyon? I haven't been to the Grand Canyon. But I've been to Niagara Falls. Okay. Well, that's a different place. I know it's a different place, but it feels, you know what, it feels similar in that it's somewhere that everyone's always like, does it live up to the hype? Which I assume is the point of the Grand Canyon question, right? But what was your take on Niagara Falls as far as the hype?

I loved it. Yeah. All right. I saw it from every angle. You can buy a ticket to every angle of Niagara Falls. I mean, we didn't go on the boat because that seems crazy. Yeah. But you can go on the boat.

You can see it from like. Like underneath, you can see it from above. I like walking to Canada. Yes. Oh, you've got to do the Canadian side. The Canadian side is superior. But I really thought it was amazing. It was, you can go back at night and they project lights onto the falls.

So I, not only, I went during the day before my show. Then I went and did my show. After the show, I said, guess where we're all going? Back to Niagara Falls. You still had that pass. You got that all angle. all angle pass. Yeah, way back.

Also, nobody's there at midnight. Yeah. Hot tip. No one's there at midnight and it's all lit up. It's so funny. I feel like that's a hot tip that no one needed. I don't think anybody's like,

I bet it's crowded at midnight. I bet the waterfall is crowded at midnight. Here's what I like about Niagara Falls vis-a-vis the Grand Canyon, and you really put that into focus for me, is I feel like you can do all of Niagara Falls in one trip. And there's no, like,

The Grand Canyon, I think, you know, Canyon heads like Josh are always like, oh, there's so much of the canyon left to sea. And I'm just like, I don't have time for that. I don't want the rest of my life to be trying to go into every nook and cranny of a canyon. Have you camped at the canyon? No, but it's, yeah, my wife is trying to secure us a camping spot at the bottom at the Phantom Ranch, which is like, yeah, this place that you can camp. Yeah, hard, I mean, tough campsites to get. But it's on my list. It's on our list. I'm Team Falls with Taylor.

It's so great talking to you. Thanks for making time for us. It's lovely to see you again. So good to see you. So nice to meet you, Josh. Thank you so much for having me on. You guys are lovely. See you soon. Great. Good luck with the special. Thank you.
