Hey, Bojee. Hey, Suv. How's it going? Good. I had a really fun night last night. Oh, wow. What'd you do? McKenzie and I went to the season four premiere of Ted Lassau.

Oh, fantastic. And it was good times? It was such good times. It was at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, which is just a great building, great theater, and, you know, got to see our buddies Jason Siddakis and Brendan Hunt. Watch the first two episodes, which are great. I'm so excited for the rest of the season. I can't talk about it because it hasn't come out yet,

but really, really big laughs. And just that show just has so much charm, and it's a real feel-good jam. That's fantastic. I'm so happy to hear it. Yeah. And then good party afterwards, good people. Yeah, great night.

That's great. I had a great weekend I have three a zinger from each of my kids Oh great I'd like to share the zingers I don't even know the order to do it Yeah I mean don't even put them in an order

Because then they'll think like Oh was mine not the best Addie I'll start with Addie We were driving just me and her And she said We got very close to home And she said can I unbuckle

And I said no honey You can't unbuckle yet And then it was quiet And she goes, daddy, dada, can I tell you something about bad words? And I said, yeah, what is it? And she said, when I said, unbuckle, I was going to say fuckle, but then I stopped myself. Great. And a really, really nice use of the loophole there to get one credit for the, you know.

Then Axles, we were at a beach. And it was me and Axel. and this friend of ours, older gentleman, he was like, hey, Axel, we were at their beach and he's like,

hey, if you go to the end of that dock, there's a slide where you can go right in the water, would you like to do that? And Axel just kind of looked down, and he goes, no, I think I'm just going to eat some ice cream and skedaddle.

And I was like, Skaddle? Where? Where's he getting skedaddle from? I have no idea. And by the way, then you're like, where'd you learn skedaddle?

He's like, oh, yeah, great. That would be great. That was fantastic. Ash, though, may be the kill shot. I'm driving with my father-in-law in shotgun and Ash in the back. And Tom, my father-in-law, who's going to get a lot of play in this episode because he's dear friends of Will Ford Day. Tom says, hey, Ash, did I ever tell you about the time?

Me and my friend bought a pet turtle. And Ash says, yeah, you've told me. me, but I'm trying to fall asleep, so tell it again. So good. So good. Yeah. And then we did this charity event. I think I told you about a charity event for this great organization of Martha's Vineyard called Harbor Homes,

helping people with housing insecurity and their great group of people. And it was a bowling charity, and I brought ash with me. and basically the plan was I was going to bowl a frame with 10 different groups of people and I said Ash and I we challenge anybody here and we'll give an extra hundred bucks to the charity for everybody who can beat us.

Best score wins. Me and Ash against your two best bowlers and Ash who's never bowled a strike before had two strikes. Oh wow. With bumpers or just straight down? No bumpers. He even said are there bumpers?

And I said, tonight's not the nights for bumpers. Tonight's the night for us to like man up and see what we can do. And he was so proud of himself. Yeah? Also, he had this. I was very glad he said this as well. So anytime the other people win,

we'll give a hundred bucks to Harbor Homes. And he goes, but we're going to give it all. He goes, we're going to give it all at the end, right? I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to give it all at the end. Oh, that's nice. And I was like, I liked that he didn't think he was going to actually, like, go home with a profit. Right.

Right, right, right. Because that kid does like money. Oh, he likes his money. But also, like, we walked out. He's like, we got to do more charitable stuff. I'm like, it's not always bowling. But we had a great time. And my son, a lot of people that we just mentioned, my son, my father-in-law, my other son, my daughter,

they all are spending time with our guests today, Will Forte. Yeah. Because Will Forte is very close in my family to the point that he is currently with them, even though I'm in New York City. Well, Forte also talking about things that he's in, he's in the new Coyote versus Acme film. Yes. We didn't get around to talking to about it.

This movie had an incredible journey where it was filmed and then it was shelved and everybody, it seemed as though it was never going to be seen. And then it finally got rescued and it's very, very exciting. The trailer's out now. It's live action mixed with animation, John Cena. Will Forte, Tone Bell, Lana Condor. Yeah, looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun.

And just hanging out with Will and chatting with him, also a lot of fun. Two-time guest. He joins Jason Schwartzman as a two-time guest. And yeah, so enjoy a listen, and yeah, thanks everybody. Family trips with the mice brothers. The last, Will, the last time you were on, like that morning you had called Tom Ash, Seth's father-in-law, and now you've really up the any by not just calling his father-in-law,

but staying with him. Yeah, I woke up this morning and nudged him on the shoulder. You guys were sharing a bed? You've, so you have befriended. A lot of people, man. I love this, and I have no issue with this, but you have really, you've befriended my father. He is genuinely a friend of yours. Oh, yeah, he's a bud.

So last night, we got in yesterday and then we went to the beach with everybody, had a little pizza dinner last night. It was tons of kids running around. Whig is over. Like, it's a full, we played football out on the backyard. Yep. And then everyone went to bed, and I went down to Tom's music room. room, your father-in-law, and we just watched videos for a long time.

It was very cute. I came down. He was watching a closer look. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. And then we started chatting. And then I was asking about the stuff he loves music-wise, because he's a musician and just an awesome dude.

And he was telling me about George Strait. And I really had only heard of George Strait. so he just showed me a bunch of his favorite George Strait music videos and then we started watching Alan Jackson and then we watched some Toby Keith and just the highwayman it's just like we've

hours and hours down there my father-in-law watches YouTube more than anyone I know like he like watches YouTube like the way we used to watch network television like sometimes I feel like he just like whatever the next thing is he'll just watch that and uh and again you know algorithm them recommended, but he said to Alexei and I the other day, I can't remember what the band was, but it was something like, have you guys seen the documentary on the band Chicago? And I was like,

the only way I would have seen that is if I walked in on you sleeping and it was on. Do you think he pays for an ad-free service on YouTube, or is he still watching ads? I didn't catch any ads last night. It seems like he's Taylor. He's the audience to buy the ad free. Yeah, but don't put it by him. He picked us up from the airport. He has made us every meal, like made pancakes for my kids this morning.

Tom and Joanne have just been the host. They're incredible. I will be arriving. on Thursday night, and let me tell you my prediction, I will definitely be taking a taxi. I will definitely be taking a taxi or an Uber, and I look forward to showing up at my house only to find out that other plans have been made and no one has told me. And I'll be locked out. By the way, Thursday night is karaoke night, I've been told. Oh, that's right.

That's something else. That's something else that my father-in-law does. I mean, again, like, you're on a family trip right now, and you're visiting my family. And how's it going? I mean, you're having a great time. I will tell you, I've gotten some reviews, and I hope this will not offend you. Both of my sons told me that your wife, Olivia, is better at football than you. True or false?

False. They were pretty, I mean, they don't have a dog in this race. She's good. She's good. But, like, no, come on. Are you like dropping balls to give the advantage to the kids? Are you sort of losing on purpose? No, I try very hard, but, you know, this is a game of, you know, the age range.

You know, you got a couple six-year-olds playing up to like, you know, people who are, you know, I don't know, high 60s. What's Tom was out there? What's, what's Tom? He's more than high 60s. He's high-s. Oh, really? Yeah, he's, I think he's crossed into the same. He's ageless. He knows no, he knows no age. He is ageless. Yeah. My father-in-law is kind of ageless. He's like the coolest dude. He's the coolest dude. The reason he's so

happy. I mean, my father-in-law is a big fan of mine. I do not feel like I, I receive a ton of support for my father-in-law, and not in a million years would I end up in his basement watching Alan Jackson YouTube videos, and he knows that. And so in a way, you're doing me a huge service by showing up and being the son-in-law. I'm happy that at least he's getting the son-in-law he wanted via knowing me. So I'm like, all right. I took care of you, dog. I took care of you.

The funniest thing, now, tell me, do you think this is crazy? Because, you know, all the wives are like, you didn't even text Seth to let him know. And I'm like, I knew I was going to see him. I just thought that he, I thought you knew. And also, my wife has been gone for two weeks. She was in New York. And so I was on solo dad duty. So I'm just scrambling to like, you know, take care of the kids.

And so I just thought, oh, I'll see him. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, I think looking back the fact that you visited my family without giving me a heads up, I mean, that's something to. I'd reflect back on that a little. I thought you were in on these conversations. Like I hear like.

I cannot tell you how out on conversation. Half of the things. I know about my family are because I overheard them. Okay. Like no one... Yeah, sometimes I say to Alexi, I'm like, when was the last time

Alexi, I'm like, when was the last time you turned and faced me before you said something? Because she's like, you, why do you mean you didn't hear me saying it? I'm like, when did you say it? And she's always like, to Ariel. And I'm like, that's not me, lady.

Like, I'm a different dude. I don't just get to like, you and your sister are in a TV, like a talk radio station I have on and I'm like listening to to get my news but I'm glad you're there how how do your girls uh you guys have been traveling a lot for work yes uh how first of all how are your girls getting on with my boys on this family trip so far they love your boys and they the girls have been a little off their sleep cycle because we're west coasters so we're on the east coast and so it was really cute when we we woke up a little late today and the

your kids came over. I think Addy and Axel came over because they wanted to play with our girls, but they were still asleep. So Tom wouldn't let them go up and wake them up. They really wanted to wake them up. So that's, it's cute. And that was the other fun thing is we, it felt like we packed so much in yesterday. We didn't even get to the house until like 1 o'clock. We went to the beach. We came back and had a swim party. We played football. We did pizza. It was like so much stuff going on. And your dad, dad was, you know, teaching my daughter how to swim. It was like, you're dad. My dad, my father-law, yeah, Larry Myers, you do not want Larry Myers teaching your kid out

to swim. Yeah. Well, you either swim or you sink. Bottom of the ocean. Will, you're our second guest who has come back for a second episode of this. Jason Schwartzman and you are our only sort of returning champions. I want to talk about the same trips. I want to talk about the exact same trips.

Well, I listened to your episode this morning in preparation for this. And you really like, you went through a lot of trips. So I will be impressed if you can add to this. But I in particular, at the very end of the episode, when Seth asked you about the Grand Canyon, you were like, oh, yeah, I did a canoe trip through the Grand Canyon with like 20 family members. Yes.

And so I particularly wanted to ask you about that trip because I feel like we only scratched the surface on that. So what was that? When was that? How old were you? God, I feel like I would have been about 15 or 16. That was my dad's side of the family. And I'll tell you, the main thing I remember about that

was what we had to do with our poops. Like it was like, you know, that's... We expect nothing less than you. You know, you had to go in and dig a hole. and and I don't even remember that much about that, but it was, it was beautiful and, and then we all kind of,

the holes were, I mean, it's like it becomes a part of the, that's how these canyons were built, where it's millions and millions of years of people digging their holes for their poops. I had no idea the two were connected. That's fascinating.

Yeah. Oh, wow. Did you have, was it a trip that you liked? Were you, were you excited to go when you heard you were going to go to the Grand Canyon? Oh, yeah, I loved it. I loved it. And at the same time, I feel like I almost haven't been there. I think it was like the very southern part of the canyon. And it's just such a huge thing that I really want to go out and check out other aspects of the canyon because I think it's really different in a bunch of places. Have you ever been? I went several years ago, the structure that's built that hangs out. It's like a walkway that you do. go out that's yeah like the skywalk or yeah yeah i have not been to that and that was like a

fully different experience where you're just terrified of the of the drop but yeah uh yeah i mean the grand canon what what an insane place the very the coolest thing this trip was my dad's side of the family which um they're east coast and my mom's side of the family is for the most part west coast. So my dad's side of the family, we just wouldn't spend as much time with. So that, it was a really cool experience. And then the last couple of years, and we just did this a couple of years ago, we have like a special forte family trip that's, that's now become an annual thing. And we just got back like, I don't know, 10 days ago from, from Colorado. We went to Shadow Mountain Lake. And this is dad's side. This is dad's side. So it's like that same group as the

Colorado river rafting thing. Everybody's a lot older and now it's, you know, it was so fun. Saw a bear. Really? Almost ran into a bear. Tell us what, tell us, all right. So you see a bear. What does that even mean when you see a bear?

Well, this was, I wasn't expecting. We were all coming out of dinner. I was walking with my kids to the car. The car was kind of a ways away, probably like 75 yards away. So we realized that my kids left their shoes. back in the house. So I said, okay, hang on. I'm going to go back up to the house. So I'm searching around the house for about five minutes. And then I came out all alone in the pitch dark and there is a bear right there within 10 feet of me. Didn't even acknowledge me. Just kind of

walked by. And it's, you don't, it wasn't necessarily scary. It was just so, it happened. happened so quickly, I was just like, I guess I have to go inside. So I ran inside and I told everybody who was out on the back porch. I'm like, there's a big bear who's kind of heading in this direction. I don't know how hungry he is. And they all got up. And actually, everybody's inclination was to kind of try to see where the bear was, like to go towards where the bear would be presumably walking. And that was, but it was, and then later two of the kids who were like these high school age kids went out and kind of tracked him down and he was just going through the neighbor's

garbage hanging around. Did the high schoolers go track him down with permission or were they like, let's go find that bear? Let's not tell anybody we're going to go find the bear. They had permission. And I think their parents know a lot about wildlife and just. But I think these kids also know a lot about wildlife. So they were, they just sent me a picture, so I don't know how they went about it.

But yeah, I think they did have permission. How many Forte show up for the Forte family in Colorado? This was 36 people. Wow. Yeah. And were there other kids near your kids' ages? Or were they sort of the youngest of the bunch? A ton of kids, their age.

I mean, it was, I'm an old dad, but then there were a lot of, you know, so mainly the kids that, that, that were hanging out with my kids were grandkids instead of just kids. But it was, it was great. It was kind of like the first year where I didn't have to every second be looking around. So it was really, really fun. And do you have a bunch of cabins or like a couple houses where are you guys all staying? We had three separate, three separate big houses that we just each crammed in like 12 people to each house. And we'd go around to a different house for dinners. By the way, that experience was very similar to this experience here where, you know, just a bunch of kids running around.

Our kids are having a blast and they get exhausted and they just go right to bed when you put them to sleep. It's great. That's very exciting. I feel like this is the, that is definitely the first summer for me as well where I realize, what is this feeling I'm having? And then I realize, oh, I haven't been fully engaged with my children every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Because they might kill themselves when they're so young and helpless. Yeah, you just realize, you just kind of are like, oh, I haven't been stressed out for the last 20 minutes. And it's like, oh, right, because they're over there and I know they're fine.

Yeah, and it's just the best feeling in the world. Did your girls play football yesterday? Were they involved? Or were they too little? They did not play football. What were they doing? All the kids were, we just kept hearing different shrieks, and then you'd go and figure out what that shriek was.

And you couldn't, like, who's the shrieker? What are they shrieking about? Usually it was just like, just like people were shrieking because there were a bunch of kids around, and things got very exciting. shriek can be joy or pain or terror and you don't really know from the sound of it. You usually know it's not joy. Okay.

Yeah. I would say that's the way. But it is funny how you cannot discern your child shriek from another child shriek. Certainly maybe my dad ears and maybe your dad ears are the same, but I will say that when I hear a kid yell, I'm like, that's deaf mind. And then I sometimes check and like, Alexi is not the least bit bothered by it. Yeah. I think that my youngest Cecilia is usually. Like whenever I hear a shriek, I'm like, oh, that's Cecilia.

I'm pretty sure that's her. But they're having a blast. They're like shrieks of joy. Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. Support comes from Mint Mobile. Hey, Pushy, Sufi. Yeah, we were kids. Summer meant freedom, no homework, no teachers, no school.

You know, I'm so, it'll be interesting to see as the years go on if they even realize they were in such a faraway place that's, you know, because they, you know, they've heard different accents, but I have a brother-in-law who's Australian.

So she's used to hearing Australian accents in California. So it'll be, they've, because of work, I've had to, my older ones been to Ireland and to Italy and to Australia. Like she's been to way more places than I ever was when I was, you know, until I was in my 20s. So, so I don't know how much of it she'll, she'll remember, but, but it's been a lot of money on her. She's got the password stamps to prove it. Did you, I mean, look, again, we have a lot of friends who are very busy from our era at the show, right? They're all working a lot. You seem to be, as far as like the jobs you've had, you seem to be the most world traveler of all of us.

And do you love it or is it been a burden? Because again, every place you've mentioned are places you've went because you're doing like just serious. in different countries. Yes. I love it. It does start to shift. You start to have to think about how it affects the kids a little more as they're getting older.

And this is like this is going to be the first year where that stuff becomes something you've got to think about a little more because our daughter is going into kindergarten. And, you know, when it's pre-K, you can kind of take them out whenever. It's an education in itself, like going to a different, place. And, um, but it's, yeah, now, now we got to think about it a little more. But yeah, I mean, when I was single, just that was the best thing, getting it, an opportunity to, to, to live for a chunk of time and in a totally different place and, and, and to see what it's like to kind of live as a local for a while is, oh, it's the best. Is your preference to be

sort of in a hotel and be set up for a while? Or do you like to get like a, to get like a, an apartment or a house when you are somewhere for, let's say, a month or longer? I would probably, month or longer, I would say definitely some kind of apartment or house. Okay. Just to, because I don't like people coming in and cleaning my stuff and like a nice dirty arrangement. You are kind of a, yeah, I mean, for someone who's very particular, you're also living that slob life.

Well, I've definitely gotten better about that, but it's not even that I need things clean. It's that I need things and not even orderly. I just need them in my order. You need them where they were when you left. Right. There is like a method to my madness and only I know it. And I feel everybody bad for everybody.

who is subjected to my wrath. Wait, you moved the straws? But you're chill about it. When the straws get moved, it doesn't like shut you down for a full day, right? I'm so chill. I actually did just get, I finally went through the process of getting diagnosed for OCD.

Because for years, Olivia would say, because I would always tell people, oh, yeah, I'm OCD, and she would say, you're not, you have not been diagnosed so that she felt like it was irresponsible to say that. I'm like, I'm telling you, I'm, I know it. I know it. And so I went and, of course, they're like, oh, yeah, you're fully, you're deep in there. You got it. You got it the most we've ever seen it. We'd love to put you on the cover of our new book.

Yeah. That's very interesting because John, I'm sorry, not Josh, Alexi is non-diagnosed and is like confidently, we'll say she has OCD. I think she likes. And you agree with her that she does? I do. Yeah.

I really do. Yeah, I do too. I went to a doctor, I went to see this doctor specialized in ADHD. So, because I thought the OCD is going to be a very, easy thing for her to pick out. Why not see if I also have that? So like, I guess I have some elements of ADHD, but, you know, I'm kind of light in some areas, heavier in some areas, but it's really OCD is the main thing. Right. Yeah. It's an exciting concoction of problems. I don't know if you have stories from this or not, but you sort of touched on these

dude ranch trips that you did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the past. I don't know if you're, are you still doing that? Is that still an annual thing? No, this would have been back. God, we probably went from the time I was maybe seven or eight years old to about 14 or 15. Still. Gotcha. So, and then I think they shut down the ranch.

It was called the, it was called the, no, Boulder, Boulder River Ranch. And I think that whole area got bought up by a bunch of, you know, turned into private ranch. I feel like Tom Broca had something to do with it. I feel like... Oh, yeah, yeah, you mentioned that last time. But you said it was sort of with your more hunting and fishing-minded family members, of which you were not really one of them and you were not skilled at fly fishing or anything like that. But were there also...

I always think of dude ranches as being a horse-based thing. Were you going out on rides? Are you... Yeah, we would go out... An experienced horseman? Yeah, I felt pretty comfortable on a horse. I mean, most of the time you're just going in a pack and you're walking. Those horses, man, it's, as a kid, you're not really thinking about it.

But then the older I got, the more you just realize it's just a big, huge thing that could trip just like a human being and, you know, roll on top of you. I was on that as a kid. I'll tell you that. From the very beginning of horses, I was just like, no, thank you. And also just not just a bit, like, not there's like a trip, but they got their own brains.

And I know somebody's like, we'll tell you they've been trained, but a horse in any moment could be like, I'm out. You know, I saw a snake and I'm not feeling good anymore, and I don't care that a kid's on top of me and I'm going to take off at a full speed. I have a story about a horse that this is,

yes, this is exactly. what you're saying. I went on a, it was a sunset cruise, a sunset horse ride. Horse ride. Horse cruise. Sunset horse cruise. And do you know, my friend, you guys both know Michael. Michael.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He, so he had just. No last name. No last name. No, I'll say it. Michael Thomas, wonderful guy. Very fun guy. And it was his birthday. So he got, like, he had just had a back operation. He had had like several years was having back issues, finally had the operation

that works, the doctor gives him like a list of four or five things that definitely not do horseback riding is one of them. He immediately gets together a horse, you know, sunset horse thing. So anyway, we're all going up. This is in Los Angeles. And I have this broken down old horse. And he's got one that seems to be in pretty good shape because he's, you know, making it race. up to the front and then he comes back to visit me because my horse is way lagging in the in the background. And then at a certain point, after one of the times he came down to visit me, he starts, he says, I'm going to go back up and check him with the group. He starts taking off and then about 50 yards in front of me, his horse just stops, immediately stops. And it was

very weird. And then the horse turns slowly to face the edge of the path, which was a like this very steep hillside and just started slowly walking to the edge of the path, pauses for a second, and then threw itself over the side of the hill. And the last thing I saw was Michael had known enough to get his feet out of the stirrups, and I saw him clear of the horse, but I just heard this, thwack, twat, twat, twat, twat, whack, twat, twat, whack, twat. And, you know, the people eventually came back down, the guide and, and, and, you know, and, And this horse, I guess what happened was the horse was having a heart attack.

This is what they think. So he just, like, wanted to end it and threw himself over the side. And it was so nuts. I remember they radioed down to the base and a couple of women from the camp had come up. And everyone's crying. And they're all saying, Blaise. Blaise is dead. I'm sorry, I've been laughing at this, but keep going.

I'm sorry. Now that I realize that this horse's that. But here's something very, just it seems like, again, a horse having a human emotion of like, I'm not going to do this. Yeah. I'm out. Yeah. And, and I mean, I'm not going to say, I won't say this to Michael, but if he listens this, he's got to know that I partially find him responsible for killing that horse. He was really trotting him up and down and way to clearly.

But Blaze lived a good life. Blaze was a racehorse for a while. And, you know, I think he was, God, I feel like they said he was like. 23 or something, which is old. So how would you say, and again, top of your head, how would you say in the end he was shot down? In a blaze of glory.

Wow. I thought that was going to be a lot easier for you to grab. Sorry. The best part was they brought up a horse and we continued on to the and just kept going and it was like we were making all these uncomfortable jokes.

and then they had said like, we'll go get him in the morning. And then the end of the ride, you go down to the camp again or the little area where you start from, the ranch and you have a barbecue. And you just heard all these coyotes howling up there and they were just having a feast. So maybe they came up to like get the rains and stuff like that. Well, part of me as a guy who's married to an equestrian, I feel like I want to defend horses in this moment. But I think those rides where you just sort of get some rando horses that maybe just have to walk along the edge of these canyons. It's not always the best situation. I'm on your side.

I do like horses and I trust. I just like, I see them as, this doesn't make sense, but they're only human. Right? Has Michael gotten on a horse since that moment? Yeah, he's just like, he's one of those guys with just that attitude of like, whatever, that was a one-time thing. What was his, what was, so his thought process was something's wrong with Blaze. I'm going to just like loosen my feet out of the stirrups just in case. Well, just like, you know, it was unnerving for me, and I'm, you know, 50 yards away.

So for him, this thing is just going closer and closer to this. It's a very, it's not quite a cliff, but it's a very steep hillside where like this horse is clearly not doing what it's supposed to do. And you're like, okay, this is, this is very weird. So, yeah, I don't remember what his thought process was, but it was like. Yeah, but already like, I mean, these are the canyons sort of right above my house. Yeah. You know, a mile away, maybe a mile and a half to get up to where you were. And they are very steep.

And if you're on the edge of them, it is somewhat precarious. And also if you're on the edge of them on horseback, you're just that much higher up. So I can certainly see Michael's impulse to get those feet out of the stirrups and be like, I might have to get off this horse. Yes. And thank goodness he did. A lot of things I don't want to do if it means close to an edge of something. I mean, like, Positano, Italy is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

But, like, to get there, you've got to drive up those mountains and, like, you're just so close to the edge. And I would never want to do it again. I just didn't. The whole ride, I was just, my heart was in my throat. And I just wasn't worth it when I got to our little village. I was like, all this stuff, they got hard salami at the bottom of this mountain. I'm with you, though.

That is one of the most beautiful places. When people ask me my favorite place of the world, I'm lucky enough to have gotten to go there too. And man, it is the most charming place. Would it make you feel better if you were driving the car yourself? Probably. I will say at the time our dad was driving. And my fear always, and I said this is why I won't go in a hot air balloon with my family,

is that my dad would be, like when, as we went, went over the side of the cliff due to him, like, you know, driving badly. I would just hear my mom lay into him. That would be like the last thing I'd hear. Yerry! Larry! Didn't they, wait, don't you, doesn't she, you guys call him Yeri, right? Yeah, Yerry.

Yeah. Will had it right. Seth had it wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Josh. They're good people. Excuse me.

Thank you, Yash. Right? Pashi. Please. Pashi, Possi, that's right. Yeah. I think. Yeah, what?

I mean, you really, last time you really went through the list, you went Tahoe, Martha's Vineyard, Galapagos, Catalina, a Bald Mountain, Hawaii, Italy, Yugoslavia, Vancouver, Alaska. Wait, something just brought up. Oh, I just went to Hawaii with John Solomon. Oh, just for two of you? Well, if you, I, when I came on your show, Seth, I did get to talk about the crazy. experience. I went to shoot that Andy Sandberg's movie

and with Jason Momoa and I I did that crazy walk where I got 80,000 steps. Do you know this Josh? I heard this yeah. My friend our friend, the person you're listening to tried to do 80. Well you did do 80,000

steps in one day. Yeah, 81,000. And and I was just Are you saying you got diagnosed as OCD? Just real quick. Optimal count. And real quick for everybody who didn't see you on the show,

I think they're picturing a beautiful Hawaiian hike that you plan ahead, and it's all like the most gorgeous 81,000 steps you ever taken. How many of the 81,000 steps would the Hawaii Board of Tourism sign off on as like actual good places to walk? Probably 25,000 of those. those steps were not potentially life hazardous. And then you were on the side of a highway. On the sides of highways. But I was in too deep.

I had to keep going and the, you know, I guess I could have turned around because the step counter doesn't know where I'm going. It just like goes. Do you just like walk outside and start walking? Do you do no research? Do you not have like all trails or? This time, when I had first landed there, right?

Solomon and I were going to meet up with Andy Sandberg and Rob Klein and their wives for dinner up in Lanakai. And so as I was trying to figure out how long it would take me to get to Lonakai, I accidentally pressed the walk button. And it made it seem like there was a walking path. So I'm like, oh, I'm going to clock that for later. So then I got my Uber. In the next couple days later, I'm like, I'm going to do that walk that I saw, try to go from my record. And it doesn't really say, oh, there are parts of this that I probably could have gotten arrested for being on the highway, like walking.

But like, but this was on the app. This was on. Yeah. This was like. I think this is an important lesson. I don't think those apps tell you like, no, you can't do it, man. You can't walk. Yeah.

I think they're just like. like almost built, like you have to walk there at a risk of your own, like, well-being. Yeah, it's like, okay, oh, we should have told you that we take you right over the mouth of a volcano. And this is a serial killer's house, but just go through the door. So you said you were trying to get your record. Did you, is 81,000 steps a record for you? Yes, that was a record for me. But at a certain point, I was like, I'm going to get to get to 100,000. I thought I could do it. And then I think at that point,

I'm not positive if I would have the will to do this, but I think I would, you know, if I got 100,000, I would rip the thing off and, you know, the step counter and say, I've done it. I don't need you anymore. How many miles do you think 81,000 steps is?

I know for a fact that it is 36 miles. Yeah. Are you wrecked the next day? No. No. Oh, interesting. When I went to fed. No.

And in fact, the craziest thing is that, so I probably walked about 25 or 26 miles to get to Lonakai, met with our buddy, Mike Graney, who lives in Hawaii. And I was like, oh, I'm going to want to keep going anyway. Why don't we do this? There's this, I think it's called the pillbox hike up there. And so when I got there, my legs hurt so bad. But here's Mike Graney. I can't let him down. So I'm like, okay, well, let's go start trying to do this hike.

But it was like I had a new set of legs because I was just kind of walking the same flat surface. And then if you're walking a different pitch, it's like you're just using different muscles. And it was like I could start all over again. What are your walking shoes, Will? I put a lot of thought into that. I just have hokas. Okay, that counts. Healthy.

Yeah, I think that's good. Yeah. They're good. They're good. Oh, it did start raining. It started raining. Start drizzling in the morning. I'm like, oh, this is really nice.

This is great. And then it was just, toward the end, was pouring. So, like, at a certain point, I really did think that I ripped off all the skin off my big toe because it was just like was my toe. Like wet. Yeah. Yeah. And so I thought I was going to have to stop. And then it was just some weird, I don't know what it was.

Was it ever a situation where it was like pouring rain and you were on the side? of a highway and if a person who knew you had seen you they would have thought that can't possibly be will forte i think anyone who knows me would probably go that could possibly be will that's a fair point that's a fair point are you are you listening to music on a walk like this or are you listening to a book or are you just listening to the nature around you i'm listening to music at first and then the power in your phone starts to go down and you know you

need it for different things. So I I was listened to a lot of a lot of music. I think it's mainly queen. I would also not be surprised if Will had recorded himself counting and

he just listens to an audio recording of himself counting step. 1,595. That's tough because you have to really slow your pace to... I have done it before where I will count the steps just to see how accurate the step count is. It's pretty accurate. Yeah.

Yeah. And I wear it, this is, and I'll even show you. I'll wear it, I wear it my foot. Oh. Oh, that's good. Because it looks cool. Yeah. It looks very cool.

But I went like a week after that trip. I went back home and then my kids, spring break happened. And John's kids are in the same school system. So we all went together back out there. Well, John never came. Oh, no, John did come. Well, long story short,

our two families went and stayed at the same place for a week. It's delightful. He's got some really awesome boys. Do you know Sam and Russell? Have you guys met Sam and Russell? I've never met them. I just got to have like a very, my first good hang with Alexis, John's wife.

John and Will are a long time writing partners. John co-wrote the McGrewber movie and a bunch of other stuff with Will and their old friends. They were writing partners at SNL. And John was in New Mexico and I got to hang out with him, you know, in the footprint of McGruber, which is very excited. Oh, yeah.

We know when we're going to Pittsburgh this year. And McKenzie's going to join us. Yeah, her first time in Pittsburgh. So this is very exciting because now we're seven. And we've got big plans for this trip to Pittsburgh. And one of the biggest parts is that we're just going to hang out. It's going to be you and your wife, me and my kids, our parents, we're going to play games, we're going to watch movies, we're going to do a lot of

things out, and we're going to do a lot of stuff in. And every one of our Pittsburgh trips has been made so much better because we have booked a home through Airbnb. Yeah, it is. We stay in a neighborhood that just allows you and the boys if you want to run out and go to a toy store. It's just right down the road, and we can hang out and wait for you. We can come with you if we want. You haven't been to Pittsburgh until our dad has told you what used to be a pharmacy. We know. We know because we've been there. Oh, I'm so excited for McKenzie's going to hear all about it.

Yeah. And that'll be good because I've already heard it. Get to hear it again.

Day camps, but we got to put a sandwich with them in their backpacks. And Bor's Head is the deli meats and cheeses we turn to. And you know what? It was the lunchmeat I got excited about when I was a kid. It was the first time I saw Maple, honey ham, maple, honey turkey. It was the first time I even knew maple and honey could be a part of my deli meat experience. and look, you get them on sandwiches in the summer, then you transition right back to sandwiches when it comes to the school year.

This is a family-owned company committed to the craft since 1905, and you can tell it's 115 years of lunchmeat every slice. Lunchmeet history!

Visit borishead.com slash back to school. the Boershead, head to your local deli counter. Did we ever talk about the road trip that John and I took?

No. Did I talk about that with you? No. No, this is great. This is why you get to come back for a second visit. This was 1996. We flew to Nashville. I don't remember why Nashville, but we just rented a car,

and we knew that we were going to fly back home from Newark. New Jersey. And so we rented a Corsica. I remember it was a Corsica, a red Corsica, and we started in Nashville. And all we knew was we were going to Branson, Missouri. That was it. Okay. And that how long is that drive? Nashville to Branson is what? That can't be that long. I don't remember. But it's not, it's not tremendously long. I remember we stopped. We landed in Nashville, spent the night, went to Graceland in the morning, and then by that night we were in Branson, Missouri, and then spent the whole day, the next day in Branson.

Oh, I don't know if I've ever told you this story. Did you... So in Branson, we don't know anything to do. We're just like, let's just do whatever. Let's figure it out on the fly. So we did this thing called Waltzing Waters, which is just these fountains, these chore. fountains inside this dank mildewy room.

And there's, some of the shows have live piano players and some, like the one we went to, just has piped in music and you're just seeing a bunch of water squirting around. So we did that. And then we went to this, I remember Kirby Van Birch and Philip Wellburn or something like that. It was a magician slash comedian show,

Kirby Van Birch sounds like a sketch character that you wrote. This was all I remember is, and John does a much better impersonation, but he's, he clearly was from like, I think it seemed like he was maybe from Romania or something like that, but he would talk very slowly and he just kept saying red sand. He would do things with different colored sands. Red sands from the Sahara, blue sands for. the goopee. And just like,

so John's very good at that. Anyway, we do that show. What's his name one more time? Kirby, what? Kirby Van Birch, I believe is his name.

Okay, great. And then the final show of the night, we weren't sure what we're going to do. We're driving by. We see that Tony Orlando has a show, has a theater. And we ran up to the booth and said, hey,

is there still a show going on? They're like, the show's about to start. we still have tickets. So John buys us two tickets. We run in and the tickets are the second row. And it's like a pretty packed theater. It made no sense.

I have no idea. So anyway, we're watching Tony Orlando. And John, I knew Tony Orlando pretty well. John, his parents were huge Tony Orlando fans. So he knew it really well. So he's singing along to all the songs, so much so that Tony Orlando started like talking to us in between the numbers and he would you know started out with like this one I you know I wrote this one before you guys were even born and and so we had this kind of

dialogue going then there's an intermission and we went up to the we we bought like these souvenir plates with his face on it and everyone's stopping us saying you guys are doing great everyone is we're the youngest people there by 30 years for sure. Anyway, second half is just grows and grows until he's like singing and came down, he's taking a picture with us as he's singing. And the very end of it is he gives this just inspirational speech. Tony Orlando, just an amazing, wonderful, delightful person, gives us inspirational speech. We left there going, this is the best show we've ever seen.

We have to write them a fan letter immediately. So we go out to the Corsica, and we're taking forever to write this letter because it's like, oh, that's too cheesy. Start over. Tony's going to think it's too cheesy. So we're going for so long that eventually his security guy comes out and says,

what are you creeps doing out here? And we're like, oh, we're writing a fan letter for Tony. He's like, oh, that's cool. Well, when you're done, give it to me. I'll give it to him. So we finally finish this letter, give it to this guy. And then we take off on our trip. And this is 96.

So there's no cell phone. There's no nothing. And it's the first, you know, the day two of a two and a half week trip, we go around on this trip, finally fly home. And when we get home, each of us has a letter in our mailbox. He wrote on the very back of a. the letter that we gave him, I guess that means he didn't want to keep the letter. No, but he wrote this just very sweet message back and then one of us, we each got a letter. And it was the coolest thing.

Had the pictures developed, cut to 2011 or 2012. I'm going to, Andy Sandberg asked me if I want to do a part in his movie with Adam Sandler, which was, of course, an immediate yes. And then I found out Tony Orlando was going to play, I think it was Sandler's boss. He was playing a role, or maybe his father-in-law. He's playing a big supporting role in this movie. So I grabbed every, I still had the pictures.

I still had the note that he gave me. I brought the souvenir plate. And I met him and I said, you're not going to believe this, told him this whole story that I just told you. and then showed them all these things, and we just became buds. And I even said, saw him, and you got to freaking fly out here. You got to have.

And so he came out, and we still talk to Tony all the time, and we go out and visit him, go see his shows, and he's just a delight. He had said the last time we saw him like a year ago or something, or maybe a year and a half ago, and he was saying he was maybe going to retire. so I'm not sure if he has. Does he still do his shows exclusively in Branson or does he do him other? No, he's, last time we saw him, he was out near Vegas,

but I think he still lives in Branson, but I don't think he's the theater anymore. Are you still the youngest people there at a Tony Erlander show, even though you're in, like me in your 50s now? Yeah, probably. Yeah. I mean, somebody's bringing their, kids somebody's bringing there who is the tony ralando of branson now which is you know what i mean so

when you saw him in 96 the normal tony ralando fan is what in their 60s then yeah it feels like that's about right although it's so hard to judge because when you're in your 20s everybody seems like they're 60 yeah like people who are 40 you probably think are 60 um but it did seem like you know a bunch of pretty old people uh i'm i mean it's definitely a nicer ending that you are now friends with them i was a little hopeful that you would tell him that whole story and he's like look kid i had somebody who wrote return my fan mail look when i got when i got a letter from a couple weirdos i just gave that to stephanie she probably wrote back to you guys no he's what was his closer do you remember tony orlando's closer is that a better a question for solomon i don't remember

closing was but I feel like it might have been a cover of something right um I do remember you know a lot of this like like you know tie yellow rib he's he's such a great storyteller too so we tell the stories in between he'd be telling these stories of how the song came about and like just the story behind the the song he's just he's a delightful guy and you are a lover do you still would you travel I'm not

no no no I am not a lover of Tony's oh I'm not we are not lovers he has got a delightful friend franny and a daughter Jenny

and our friends are there and I don't want them to get the idea that I'm his lover thank you but you have you you'll travel for a concert you love going to a concert

oh yeah what are vacations I mean can you remember a time you have you ever gone like overseas to see your favorite band i have gone yes i've seen i've gone to a lot of radio head shows overseas germany saw them in germany a couple times at a couple festivals um yeah i've done a lot of travel let's see where else i saw again radio head in london um oh i went to i went to i went to ireland

So my buddies and I were going to go see Ozzy Osbourne in San Diego, I think. And then he got sick and he canceled his show. So we saw that he was like eight months later or something like that going to play a show in Ireland. So we're like we had another high school buddy who lived in Dublin. So we said, let's all go visit our friend and go see Ozzy out there as a makeup. So we got out there and landed to the news that he also was sick for that one and canceled the show. I can't say we didn't try. That's great.

Have you guys traveled? Have you traveled for concerts? I've never traveled for a concert. I just remember from the very first time I met you, realizing that you were a lot more, but your life was a lot more concert-centric than mine. Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean, the big one was getting to go to that Led Zeppelin tribute

for Amit Erdogan out in London. and that was during the writer's strike or SAG strike whatever strike we had been months and months being off of SNL and I was like the only person kind of praying for the strike to go on a little bit longer because I were talking like 08-09

well it was on Saturday night this would have been 08 either 07 or 08 yeah whenever that strike was and I was like everyone was and I felt so guilty because I was like, I just need it to go on for two more weeks, because I knew that Lauren would have been going to jump right on a show,

and there was no way he was going to say, yes, just go for the Zeppelin show and come back next week. I have tickets. I'm desperate to see a complete, a total solar eclipse, like it's something that I really, really want to see. And there is a Bjork does this festival in Iceland, and this August 12th, She's going to be doing a DJ set at this festival during a total solar eclipse.

And I bought two tickets just with like the notion of if I can, I would love to go. And then we have a live show in Philadelphia that night. So I can't go. But that was sort of. Wait, can I ask, is the festival called Beototothoth? It's called like Ecololia. Oh, okay. I went with Pete Haik and a bunch of guys.

out to a festival in Iceland that was like this tiny little island the Westminster Air Islands I think it's called and it was so fun it was like this festival music would be going deep into the night and it's and it's all like families there'd be grandparents there and grandkids and it was so fun it was so interesting

yeah you mentioned Let's do it again next year. Sorry. Yes. Whenever. Whenever there's a solar eclipse. You mentioned Rob Klein.

Also a great writer, a friend of ours, a former Estanel writer. We were, Josh and I were with our wives in Iceland years ago before they were even our wives. And where was that crazy hotel we went to, Posh? Do you remember the name of it? It was like on the snooose and flus peninsula. Yeah, it was so far out of Reykivik. It was the Hotel Boudir. Yes, nice pole.

and just cannot believe how far. We were like, it felt like we were on the edge of the earth. The closest I've come to the edge of the earth. And if Blaze was there, he would have jumped right off. So we were there and we walked into the bar of this little hotel, not even a big hotel, and Klein was sitting there with Lucy. Shut up. And the best thing about it is Rob Klein, the most, like, just like this.

same heart rate no matter what's happening. Like just the most even keeled, never panicking Rob Klein. And he just like, I remember walked in, he's like, hey buddy. I'm like, what? Hey, buddy. Do you know what the statistical improbabilities are of this moment right now?

We're an in on the tip of the earth. And you're like, oh, hello, friend. Great. Can I ask, did you guys know this, back when I was in Iceland, we also did

something very memorable, and I may have even brought this up because this was a big part of a big road trip for me. A very memorable part. The penis museum? Oh. We did not. We missed the penis museum.

It really, now they make it easy because back when we were there, it was up at the very, I think it was the northern part of the island in this kind of smaller place called Husavik. And you just show up and it's like, well, I guess we'll go to the,

it's either, I'm not sure still if it's a whale penis museum with other animals or just a penis museum. I feel like this is where I also want to say that knowing Will, I feel like you're the guy who like definitely books a trip to see the penis museum, but doesn't tell anybody.

And then you are like, let's go have to this cafe in this town. And then you're like, oh, I guess we're here. What am I going to do now? They got it's right across the street Yeah, the waiter just mentioned this penis museum Well, look, I

I will say that I was not the person Who Who did line this up But I will say I hang out with a lot of very like-minded people So Was the penis museum worth it? It's fascinating. I mean, it really is like, you know,

It puts penises in perspective you know, really like Genuinely, right? I mean if you have not seen an elephant penis detached from an elephant you're missing out. It is...

I like that you just were cutting off, everybody's like, yeah, dude, I've seen it. You're like, detached. Oh, all right, all right, my bad, my bad. I've seen it attack. But here's the good news. You don't have to go up to Hussivik anymore to get to it.

It's right in Reykjavik. So you probably, it would still be a trek for you guys if you go back to the hotel Boudoir. Bedeer. Bajivik. The Hussivik Town Council went to the state, the federal government of Iceland. It was like, you got to move this

museum. We're getting all these penis tourists. We're not a big enough town to absorb all these. So what was, but was elephant, like when you think back to the penis museum, was elephant, one that has stayed with you the longest? Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. But there's also, the whales, see, the whales would be encased in glass in like some kind of, you know, water formaldehyde situation. And it was really hard to, like the elephant penis, maybe must have been stuck, really retained what that happened. Well, you said it was really hard. I said, that's what the female whale said.

I was a little late though, so can we slide it up in the edit? Yes, yes. But I think it was also just because it's, you know, it's kind of natural state is out exposed to the elements, whereas a whale penis, you know, thrives in the water, and that's where they do all their whale fighting. They thought it's a little unfair. They were like, we can't just show it like loose on the land.

It was never supposed to be like that. Yes, exactly. I do think that this might have been the subject of a documentary because at the time when we were there, there was some talk that there was a human who was trying to be the first human penis in the museum. And then, but the person had not died yet. So like it was like, let's see.

And this other guy was like, no, I want to be the first one. So it was kind of like a race to see who died first. But there's a documentary I think about it. It might be called like the last member. I forget, but there's... That's not bad. Yeah. Maybe you and Tom Ash can watch that tonight.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm curious, if we're going to do the speed round, I just want to sort of compare your answers to the last time and see if you say the things. So here we go. We'll do the speed round. You can only pick one of these. Is your idea?

ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous, or educational? Education. Same. That was a match. What is your favorite means of transportation? I mean, car would be too. A boat? Boat. That's a match.

Wow. Yeah. I'm impressed. 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? The Solomon's. Okay. Last time it was your groundlings' SNL family, but Solomon's a great family. And Solomon's part of that SNL family, certainly. If you had to be stranded on a desert island with one member of your

family, who'd it be? One member of my family, I'm going to go with my wife. No, I got to say kids. Oh, one member. Geez. Well, my wife and I could make more kids, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Last time you said your wife, but then you also said maybe Cecilia because she was so young and that she would need you. She would need you. That's true. She's able to fend for herself now. I wish it had been an exact match. Last time you said your wife and then you were like, no, wait, I got to say my kids. Oh, no, me and my wife could make more kids. Exactly the same. This is a new question we didn't have last time you were on here. What is a dream destination for a family vacation? Tom and Joanne Ash's place. So you're living the drink.

I am. This question is phrased differently than it was last time. He's cooking up burgers right now. I can almost smell them. Yeah. You are from... I think his burgers are a little fat. I'm going to say it.

Really? Well, you let me know because I think, yeah, they're two round for me. Oh, yes. I like a salad burger. I want a little more of a patty, and eat any but does him real juicy i think it's generational i think his generation still thinks they're supposed to be like i don't know

stakes whenever i whenever that i think of the beverly hills cop thing where they're shooting the shit when they're the two cops are in the car and he's putting a banana in the tail pop isn't it aren't they talking about like by the time the average human is this age they've have you know 12 pounds of undigested raw meat i always think of that whenever i think of that whenever i think of an uncooked something. Sorry, continue with the speed round. A slow-d-down. You are from Lafayette,

California, correct? Yep. Lafayette for a hogout. If you had to get more, if you had to get more families to come visit Lafayette, how would you sell that town? It's just a delightful. It's so close to San Francisco, but far enough away, it's just like you feel like you're a million miles away. It's not quite the city.

It's just this electric town. I'm not doing a great job, am I? Nobody's going to go. It's great. Look, last time you said not a great place to go visit, but a great place to grow up. Yeah. Great place to raise a family, you said. So maybe that feels on brand. Yeah, you know, I guess it depends on

who's your staying with. Like, you know, a lot of places have become a great place to visit because of the people I'm staying with. Yeah. This is why I'm so lucky right now because I get, this is a wonderful place to visit and I'm staying with a great family. Yeah, it's a dream destination for you.

Can I jump in? I know I'm interrupting the speed around, Josh, but it is a... Because it's a travel sketch. I think I'm allowed to say it. I just realized how you're in one of my favorite, I think you should leave sketches as an old man on a plane. Oh. Trying to get revenge on an adult who was a child ruined a trip of yours by crying on a plane.

Yes. And it's just dawning on me now because my boys are just on the cusp of appreciating good comedy. And the fact that you're spending time with them, obviously, I wish I was spending with them. But you're spending time with my boys, and I'm very, I think they're going to love that sketch now. Because I think that everything about that sketch is like, makes sense to a kid.

Should I, should I play it for them and just watch them? Yeah. I think so. I, did they really say that they thought my wife was a better football player than me? All right. Oh, is it the last one?

I mean, now we're to you, Suf. Oh, yeah, we already did it. Have you been to the Grand Canyon? You have? Would you like to go back? Yes. And most importantly, the thing you remember the most is that the Grand Canyon was started because people were digging holes to put their poop in.

Yeah, exactly. Are you going to be there when I get there? Oh, yeah. We're here until Saturday. Great. Okay, great. I was worried that my friend was going to visit my family and I was never going to see it. So I'll see you.

This has taught me a valuable lesson to just not assume that anybody's ever telling anybody anything and I'm just going to reach out. Never assume my family's telling me jack shit. And by the way, Josh, did I see you at the Waxahatchahatchee concert? Was that where I saw you? Waxahatchee M.J. Lenderman show at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Just a beautiful show. So good.

Yeah, with those two artists, Katie and MJ just going back and forth, just playing their stuff. And then the other one singing beautiful backup. Yep. And it was great. That venue's incredible. And then, yeah, saw you, saw Solomon. It was a real veritable who's who. Yeah, always a pleasure to see you today. You too. Different. Yeah. I love you. I will see you in two days. I will have your shirts and your hat and your glasses washed. Thank you, Will. My request is you have to. Sometimes I show up in like the party's over. So when I show,

up, you just, you have to have at least one cocktail with me before. Oh my God. Of course. Of course. I love you, buddy. I'll see you in 48 hours. Love you. Love you, Josh.

Bye. Bye. A little drizzle started and soon Will was rained upon Well others might have turned around He just so just so Will Will Sounds crazy to me But that's just Forte style

Just threw on a pack Queen soundtrack and trek to Hawaiian Nile Boy just walked 36 miles Up in the north, it's just shy of the tis. An establishment that was so worth a trip, and good news they've relocated Daspecker versus penis, a schlong coliseum.
