And all it is is you and I and two of our favorite guests and then a video message from our third, who's another favorite guest. And I would mostly just say it's a freewheeling shit show. Yeah, I think that's fair. But I loved it. And it made me feel like the holidays because for me, the most special time

is when you're just sitting with people you love and having a good old time. Yeah, I mean, you do ask me in this episode sort of what my holiday plan is with all of the activities I have planned for Mom and Dad and Mackenzie and Mackenzie's mom, Linda, who are gonna be out here. And, but it is important to sort of schedule some time that's just like hanging out on the couch,

turn on the fireplace or actually start a fire if you live in a place where that's just like hanging out on the couch, turn on the fireplace, or actually start a fire if you live in a place where that's what you do. But we've got a little gas fireplace and sitting around chatting. It's hard to beat. Hard to beat. So this is a real chat not a holiday song, but listen to this anyway. Family trips with the Myers Brothers. Family trips with the Myers Brothers. Here we go. It's very exciting, Posh. We're doing a holiday spectacular. And to make it spectacular, we have two guests.

One is joining, but we're starting with Ike Baranold. Hi, buddy. Morning, boys. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Nice save. Hey, Ike, did you know the difference between a nine branch candelabrum in the Jewish tradition and a seven?

Menorah is seven, do you know what it's called when it's nine? So just point it out to me. Memorah, like there's more of them? I think you can also just say I don't know. We're not, a nine-orah? I know a can also just say I don't know. We're not playing. A nai nori? I know a couple things, buddy. Son of a gun.

It is a bummer to see a celebrity Jeopardy. By the way, this proves how deeply anti-semitic that show is that obviously there's no questions about Hanukkah. It did take me a minute to see that you were tapping your Jeopardy thing and not a menorah behind you. Is it a Hanukkiah? I think it's called a Hanukkah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That makes sense. Anyway, but if you ask me any other question about Judaism, I will know it. Are you bummed that there's a pop culture Jeopardy now? Because if you go on it, it will seem like you're being thirsty, but you also think you could win that too. No, I think it's good. I think there should be jeopardies for every category. I think there should be specialized jeopardy. I think there should be Pittsburgh Steeler jeopardy.

Yeah. Like I want every type of jeopardy out there. I'm for expanding the jeopardy universe. I forget also, did you guys celebrate Hanukkah in the Barron Holds house or were you a Christmas house? We were primary Hanukkah, but every holiday we would, our trip was we would go to Ohio to see my mom's non-Jewish families and we would get like our dose of Christmas time there. So we got a little bit of best of both worlds.

Yeah, as kids, were you, did you favor one over the other? I mean, Hanako was so great. You get eight presents most years. Some years you only got a couple. I'm a, I'm very staunchly, you guys know this about me. I'm very pro-Lotkey. Yeah. Yeah.

I have been my whole life. I'm a sour cream man. So I loved that. You love any food that's accompanied with sour cream. Oh yeah. Pierogies. Yeah. I mean, don't get me started.

Oh, baked potato, a loaded baked potato. Don't even get me started on- Memoras, Memoras. Which is a bigger baked potato because there's Memora of it. But I also loved going to Ohio, you know, it was like cold and snowy and, and, you know, we would, we would get a couple presents and then we would go to my aunt's house and we would, like 47 people would stand around while my uncle did like the world's longest prayer, Christian prayer. And then we would eat. And so I would give, when I was younger,

I would give Hanukkah the edge. But now that I live in a house with four Christians, or one Christian and three whatever children, they have no religion. in a house with four Christians. Yeah. Or one Christian and three, whatever, children. They have no religion. Four Schickses. Four Schickses. Four Schickses.

Hold on real quick. Siri, set a Netflix pitch call. Four Schickses. Um, uh, but I, I gotta say, I'm very, I, I'm a big, uh, embracer of Christmas time now. time now like our house is so Christmas fight. I'm wearing a red hat. Yeah It doesn't it's not a MAGA hat It was because I supported him in 2016, but I do not support him any longer So I had it refurbished to say yes, Amy Poehler's production company. I know you, like your brother, Johnny, three years younger than you?

Four years? No, he's six. Six. Six years younger than you. So when you would go down to Ohio, were there a lot of other kids your age or were you guys? Yeah, that was the kind of the best part about it was it was cousin country. Like we had, like my mom had five siblings and they pretty much all had kids. So we would go down there and just hang out with my cousins. And, you know, we would, you know,

watch Ohio state football with them. And then I would like bring a copy of trading places and like put it in the VCR and like my aunt would be like, there'd be a scene where like Jamie Lee Curtis is like having sex or something. And she'd be like, what is going on in here? But it was- And then your uncle would be like,

well, I guess next year the prayer is gonna be longer. Cause you're obviously not listening. You're watching this simple movie. I definitely know you, Josh knows you as one of the great reasons you're a perfect friend, is you were a ringleader, you're a good time guy. Were you that at a young age with your cousins? Yes. Definitely was always looking to get into fun trouble with them.

And I'm still friends with them. They're wonderful people, mostly Ohio based, but wonderful, wonderful folks. You mentioned Snow. You grew up in Chicago, wonderful folks. You mentioned snow. You grew up in Chicago, which also gets snow. Yes. Can you just talk about, because you experienced both, the difference between how lovely country snow is versus how shitty city snow is?

It is night and day. It's just, yeah, yeah, you know, in Ohio, you wake up and it's just like big fields where the snow is just, it's just looks like completely smooth and you get out there and you're running and you got your snow shoes in, you come in, mom's made some hot cocoa and you go back out there. And then Chicago, it's just like, you're running to get on the bus and you slip and you fall face first and just like

yellow brown ice slush That's just in which it's yellow brown is hard. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like like like 418 a.m. In Chicago it snows and by like 645 just like seven dogs have pissed their Just like seven dogs have pissed there. Like, tire tracks have run over it. And it's very sad snow in Chicago. I'm really proud of myself for not cutting you off and calling bullshit when you said

you used to run in snowshoes. Pfft. Can you imagine Pashi Ike in Ohio? Used to put on my snowshoes, run. That's such a lie. You can't fucking move in those things. By the way, I'm cursing so much because Ike is here. And Ike's not cursing, I'm cursing. And the way, I'm cursing so much cause Ike is here

and Ike's not cursing, I'm cursing and I apologize. I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna be honest. I don't know what snow shoes look like. Like I think I do, but I don't. I've never snowed in my life. You've done it, Posh. I've only done it once and there wasn't enough snow.

So it was sort of like, not ideal. It's bad. Do you guys ski? Do you guys ski? Yeah. See, I don't ski, but we, my family, the four Shixas love skiing. So we'll go to like a ski holiday, but I won't ski.

Every time I'm like, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna rent some snow shoes. And then I end up just like going to the fitness center and like looking at my phone on like the bench press. I think an anagram for Shixas is has skis. I think you're literally right. I think I might actually be right. I might be.

You put up my first on the fly anagram and I feel really good about it. That was very impressive. I gotta say it, damn. I was just gonna say one more thing about CitySnow because I think in New York, certainly, again, we're talking about 30 years of climate change, but the snow kind of lands and it's gone very fast in a city.

My memory of the years I lived in Chicago, if it snowed, it would almost be three or four days of, there are cars, you cannot get out. Yes. And it is incredible to look back at how upsetting it was when there was snow like that. It's it's also like it it accumulates and just stays the whole winter. So like by like mid-March it's just like you're walking in the street there's just like a black wall next to you. Just like pushed up frozen iced out dirt snow. It's just like you're walking in the street. There's just like a black wall next to you. Just like pushed up, frozen, iced out dirt snow.

It's not. It's not. Yes, it's no, it's no. When you would go to Ohio, was there a lot of outdoor activity? I mean, I've been there and it was pretty flat. I don't know if there was like a place to go sledding. No, there was. There was outdoor activity, and it was pretty flat. I don't know if there was like a place to go sledding. No, there was outdoor activity, but it was not perpetual motion based. It was like, you know, it was like,

let's go out and walk around the barn and look at the frozen cow patties. But it was beautiful. I mean, this in like a wonderful way. Summertime in Ohio was a lot more like, let's play wiffle ball, let's do this. But winter time was more just like strap on the snowshoes, just take the crampons, just kind of bind it to your leg.

You know how snowshoes work. Just run, put on the snowshoes and run. Go for it. I would run the mile, I would run a mile or two in the snowshoes, cause they're bound to your foot and you lock your lot You guys not snowshoes. I'm gonna talk to your audience about how snowshoes work You know what they call you if you're in in snowshoes and you have to run from a bear Dead they call you dead

Hey, we have another special we have another special Guest and I'm gonna call this out. Hey, we have another special guest. And I'm gonna call this out. Wait, you're a special guest, Ike. Okay, I was told I was the only guest today, but go ahead. Ike's wearing a hat. I'm gonna gamble that our next guest is also wearing a hat because he's one of America's great hat-poller offers. Show me hat! I'm a gambling junkie, I puller offers. Show me hat.

I'm a gambling junkie. I'll take the under, no hat. No hat, okay. I'm not gambling junkie. I'm a gambling. And you still like your bets paid off in Dogecoin, right? Preferably, yeah. Or the Hawk Toa coin.

I put all my money in Hawk Toa. Yeah, I have it. Oh, yeah. Yes, yes. No hat. Yes, yes, a little. Oh, yeah. Yes! Oh, God, no hat. Yes, yes, yes. That's my boy. It's a vampire.

Oh my God. I can go get one. I can go get one in a second. No, no, no, no. It's better that you're not. I lost 200 bucks. I had all my money on hat. Oh, I quit with the hat.

It's a holiday hat, Timothy. Timothy Olyphant, everyone. Yes. Timothy Olyphant, everyone. Yes. Timothy Olyphant is here. And I think, so Tim, I feel like you pull off a hat unlike a lot of people. You've had two great hat rolls. Yet-

Yes. Go, maybe the first time I saw you in Go, I spent the whole time being like, that's an incredible head of hair. So it just goes to show you, you can win on both columns. Oh, start. I think that's an incredible head of hair. So it just goes to show you can win on both columns. Oh, start.

That's a good head of salad right there. Mine is not. I basically, this is a three hour process. So I have my team. And where are we now? We're right, are we like in the middle of it? We're right in the middle. Did you do the whole process

and that's what this is? I've been up since five, we had to take a break. It's three people. It's one person to just kind of apply the glue, the industrial glue. One person to kind of strap it all on and then I need someone to kind of hold my hand. And you showed them a picture of a Russian hat,

a Russian winter hat. Yeah, yeah. That was kind of the style I was going for. I wanted to buy a hat from the guy, and he gave me a new hair, so it worked out for everyone. Not that we're just trying to push people to our YouTube channel, but I'd like to spend a lot of time talking about Tim's current setup.

You do look like a vampire. You do look like you have lowered the curtains to keep the sun out. I was instructed to lower the curtains for light. And then I turned the computer and I said, look, I'm like in a Hitchcock film. I was like, Jerry, where's my... You guys sent a DP. Did you guys not get the DP?

No, we didn't get it. You didn't get a... Because I see what you guys... You just got the flat and then... You're doing another podcast next called Talking Bordellos. Talking Bordellos with Seth Meyers. Yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously.

You don't do other people's podcasts. How many have you got now, Seth? This is well, well, you know, when Strike Force V is retired. So only two active podcasts. Tim, are you back from Finland? I don't believe that for a second. Only two. Cause you do corrections as a pod also.

Oh yeah, I take it back. I think I have four. But two of them are just repurposed from the show. Josh pressed you and it doubled. That's amazing. I pressed you to three and you went to four. I think the show's got a podcast too. But I don't think that's just-

That's exactly my point. That's just chopped up. That's not- And then you Because I think the show's got a podcast too. But I don't, that's just- That's exactly my point. That's just chopped up. That's not- And then you've got that one with Martha Stewart and Snoop coming out with Seth Meyers, right? Yeah, that's the one where they keep saying, but why are you here? You're the glue, you hold it together.

You're the center. Glue, yeah. You know what I mean? Sorry, you had a question. I'm really just here to listen. I have my first, well, I'm gonna turn my question around to Ike. Alright, so Tim just shot in Finland. Ike. Yeah.

I actually don't know the answer to this. Have you ever shot abroad? Nah, I'm not counting Canada. And that's not a woman. Yeah, I was about to say. One time in Vegas in 2003, but I have no memory of it. No, no, no, no, no, no, Ike, no. I once shot abroad. Yeah, I shot of a broad. Yeah, I shot a broad alright.

Shot a broad and got away with it. Goes with the noir. Goes with the look, right? See what happened there? You look like a gumshoe who's about to hand me photos of my wife having sex with my business partner. You're welcome. Just for the listeners real quick, I want to say that it is four dudes right now and we did invite some ladies and they all turned us down.

Yeah. Well, they said, they said, are you going to do that classic shot abroad bit? And we were like, yeah. Just to be clear, we're not misogynists. We just have no female friends. Fucking chill. Guys, hold up.

You want some ladies? Give me a second. Oh boy. Oh, hold up. You want some ladies? Give me a second. Oh boy. Oh, yoy yoy. This is Josh's nightmare. Josh's Family Trist podcast has turned into four dudes chat. By the way, can we just, and I wanna get back to the shot abroad question room.

So it won't take long. Really. What is this that we're doing? Oh, good question. And let me just say, I continue to be impressed by how enthusiastically you join projects where you have no idea what it is or what your purpose. There's Myers Brothers, that's all I heard.

Same question on the first day of Justified. Yeah. What is this? This is like working with Bruce Willis every day, God bless him, every day on the set him, every day on the set of, every day on the set of, what do you call those shows? Die Hard, Die Hard 4. Thank you.

Every day we'd show up and we'd start looking at the sides and he'd be like, are we shooting this today? And this was on the call sheet? And this was on the call sheet? I can't say this. Oh, great. Number one on the call sheet. You can be surprised. It's amazing.

This is the Family Trips holiday special. We decided to join up with some of our most special guests. And so that's what we're doing. Thank you. I knew Family Trips and I knew something about holiday. And then everything else is a surprise, which is lovely. And I was listening back to your episode, Tim, and when we started talking about Family Trips, you very quickly said we never took any.

Yes. Immediately. So I don't expect you to have any holiday memories to share, but maybe some occasional. First of all, I honestly thought they're calling it family trips, but it's a celebrity interview thing. That's we all know what it is. But I'm a big fan of the show. I don't listen to it, but I read the transcripts. They're amazing. Josh, at the end there, that little poem, have you thought about putting it to music? Um... My question...

But what I've noticed, all the thoughts that fire, what I've noticed is that people are talking about trips on your show. I had no idea they were gonna go for it. Yeah, they're going for it and

My I want another swing at it, you know Hillary Hillary and Larry Meyers are outraged when people come on without trips Outraged listen you invite me back on the I don't know if we talk about trips on the holiday special, but I'll talk to it I'll talk to you. No, we want to hear about what the, I don't know if we talk about trips on the holiday special, but I'll talk trips. I'll talk trips all day long. But first we want to hear about the times Ike shot abroad. I will say real quick before we get to it, because I'm really excited about this answer.

Is that time to think about it? The longer we wait, and it's going to be no, but... My parents, my dad's always like, I feel like you should check beforehand to find out, you know, what their trip situation is. And I'm like, oh yeah, that's good. I'm trying to add steps. Yeah.

Well, I didn't know, dad, I didn't know you produce podcasts. Well, I said, dad, I've got four of these, come on. All right, here we go. Yes. Yes. Oh. My first film ever was a movie in Holland. I don't know if I'm going to count this because you didn't travel for it. All right.

Was it the Burt Reynolds one? No, it was down. Oh, yeah. Dick Moss. So there's a Dutch director named Dick Moss, who is like, I would say he's like the Dutch, not the Dutch Spielberg, but the Dutch Michael Bay maybe? Sure.

Oh. And he made a famous movie in 1980 in Holland called The Lift about a haunted elevator. And then he remade his own movie and I played Edward Herman's assistant. And that was, I did not travel for it, but it was shot in a country that I was not. Did you die in the haunted elevator movie?

I did not. I was just like a frazzled assistant. I was like, oh, sir, I don't know. I'll call the police. How many, and I know, oh, Josh is so mad, but I do think this is a fun question. Ike and Tim, for both of you, how many times have you died in a movie?

I feel like- Two. Two. Two. Oh, wow. Two. Suicide Squad? I don't know the answer to this. Yeah, that's a hard question. I don't know. To just know. The hunt in a movie called Bright. Oh, yeah. To just know. The hunt in a movie called Bright.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. The hunt is really fun. I feel like the funny thing would be if I asked him how many people he's killed and he knew the exact number. That'd be great. I don't know how many times I've died, but I've killed 78.

He doesn't keep a calendar on the wall, but he has a body count number. I've done a lot of movies. I don't know how many times I've done over and killed 171. Let me count my arm. Yeah, 31 projects killed 78 people. I mean, I bet, Tim, don't you think you're, I mean, near 100?

For a kill count, he's at 100 for sure. Between dead loading. My kill count? Yeah. I don't know. He was in a movie called HITMAN. You were in HITMAN. Is it on the Wikipedia page?

By the way, if we come up with a number, it'd be great if it got to the Wikipedia page before we ended the pod. Speaking of Tim, I've been doing some editing on your Wikipedia page. Can I ask you a couple of quick questions? Did you ever win the Pillsbury Bake Off in 2002? You did not?

No. Shit. Sorry guys. Can I take a five minute break to do a quick little edit? Hey, we're going to take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.

you connected with your inner adventurer. Well, anytime it rains in LA, which isn't very often, I throw my gear on and I get out in it. And my dog Woody loves to get out there with me. And we'll start on a trail, on sort of a big fire road trail, but then we find those smaller trails where you need to crawl and get your hands dirty. And the wetter you get, the better you get. And yeah, that's what we like.

I love it. What about you? Have you connected with your inner adventurer recently? You know those squirrel suits where people jump off the sides of cliffs? Oh, yeah, yeah. I just watched a YouTube video of that. But it gave me like, made my tummy feel weird.

Hi, Sufi. Airbnbs are exceptional. We've stayed in Airbnbs in Pittsburgh with the family. But also at my wedding, I know we've mentioned that it was at a hotel, but at the same time we couldn't have everyone stay there, but there were all these fabulous Airbnbs in the area, and one thing that just warmed my heart to no end is I had a group of friends from New Hampshire, childhood friends who came, and they all stayed

in one Airbnb, and I was getting pictures throughout the weekend, texted to me of them getting ready, of my friend Randy Swazo and his West High half-shirt, which is just a classic thing in our childhood and from our youth. And to think that my marriage got that group of people to stay together for a weekend in an Airbnb, something they probably would never have done otherwise, just made me so happy, even though I never went there. And I know that they had just the best time. And that's the kind of experience you won't get

if you're not in an Airbnb. Because you get to have your meals together, you get to get up and you get to have your coffee together, you get to sit around in a living room together. And it was really special. And even as someone who wasn't there, it is one of my favorite things about my wedding. Well, that's so lovely to hear.

Book your next awesome trip today at Airbnb.com. Here we go. Ike, are you going somewhere? Are you traveling? Are you going on a family trip this year? We're going on a little mini trip just to like a horse ranch. That's like an hour outside of LA. But last year we did the big trip.

We went to England and did all that and Paris and stuff. And I'm excited this year to pretty much stay local and just, uh, I like, uh, during the holidays, like every from January, uh, December 21st to like the 28th, you know, when you go to like a liquor store and they have like the, the, the, the beers that have like a fryer who's like dancing with an elephant or whatever. I like to drink one of those every night, like a giant thick beer. And that's like 10% alcohol and watch movies.

So I'm very excited to do that. You're taking the kids to the horse ranch. You got kids? The kids are staying home, I'm just gonna go solo a little bit of alone. How old are the kids? How old are the kids? Six, eight and 11.

All right, fun story you can tell them when you get there. You say, you say, you say, you say, you say, you say, hey kids,

my friend Tim, you can say Yorma too, right? You can say my friends Tim and Yorma, they were in Finland this year, and in Finland, they eat the horses. That is a fun story. And also show him a picture of Tim with his current lighting.

This is our buddy. By the way, the sun is shifting. I mean, it feels... Yeah, I'm just going to send my therapy bill to family trips. I might bring down... I could bring that. I could get rid of the lighting. I know most people watch this on YouTube, right? They don't listen to it. I think we're more listeners, but it's starting to move over.

Because of things like this, I think you're doing great. That's where the money is. That's where the money is. Guys, I have very exciting news. Oh, here it, let's go. There's a Timothy Oliphant wiki with your list of deaths. Yes. I'm just gonna jump around.

Scream 2, 1996. By the way, I do wanna say, because my father's been very upset about this, but it's technically Oliphant. I know, I'm sorry. I keep getting that wrong. I don't know what to do about it, but I know that when my own kid said it wrong

and my dad looked at me like, what the fuck? And I was like, dad, whatever. Yeah, Oliphant, yeah. Oliphant. All right, seven, Scream 2, seven. Whoa. Seven, yeah, you were a real maniac. Only three in the first season of Deadwood.

None in the season two, this is fun. I mean, there's not a big, Live Free or Die Hard, 22. That was a big one for you. Yeah, it's a big one. Yeah. Bravo. Oh, God. He's a terrorist. Well, hold on.

Hitman, as Ike was very wise here, 155. Wow. Wow. You genocidal maniac. You got your life right in Rango, none. Fear to the West. Love Rango.

Fear to the West and Rango. Two in Deadwood, the movie, and then two in Deadwood, the movie, and then two in Rango, none. Fear to the West. Love Rango. Fear to the West in Rango. Two in Deadwood, the movie, and then two in Amsterdam. Total kill count, according to your Wiki, is 191. Wow. You want to know my fun Amsterdam movie, your story?

Yeah. I'll try to keep this really quick. Not shot in Amsterdam? I talked to David Russell for probably a year on and off, text exchange, but it was never quite clear what the part was or the screen. He never wanted to give any... He's very withholding of the script, but it was always like, there's this guy, but he's a bad guy, very bad guy. And I don't know if you were interested in that, but I think feel like he should have bad skin. And I was like, great. You know, it was a lot of cryptic conversations about this role or possible roles, but I just knew that he was going

to be a bad guy. And then we decided bad skin and my changed my eye. I show up the day before, two days before I'm a shoot, got all the prosthetics, the fake nose, the eye contacts, I show up on the set, David wants to approve my look. I looked so bizarre. I told him, I was like, you know, David, you could have just hired someone who looks this way. But then I said, look, I just want to make sure we're clear.

I still haven't read a script. And he goes, are you okay with that? And I said, yeah, I told you, you know, I'm here. You send me a call sheet, I'd show up. But I just want to make sure that I don't show up on set tomorrow. And then you're like, what do you mean you haven't read the script? And he said, are you okay if, what do you mean you haven't read the script? And he said, he said, are you okay if I just tell you what to say? And I said, it's very copy.

He loves to do it. And I said, perfect. Great. So we're good. So I show up the next day and I show up on set. And we immediately start shooting. As soon as I get on set and he's looking at me and this light is like why are we shooting this we should be shooting this right and and. Me we're rolling i know i've done a bad thing and i know that i'm i'm i'm getting ready to go back to you so he's like you know you. This goes back to you. So he's like, you know, you, you could be, when you come up to the car, you're looking around, where are they, you know, where, where, where looking around and then your partner's

in the front seat. You could be saying, you could be saying, you're not driving, I'm driving, you know, you're not driving. You could be saying that. I was like, do you want me to say it? He goes, you just, you could be saying it. Anyway, we do a take. I come up, I'm looking around. I tell the guy, get the fuck out.

You know, we're an organization. We got to stay organized and you can't drive. I'm driving, you know. And I get in the car and we drive off. Cut. I come back and he goes, that was amazing. That was great. But remember, you just killed somebody. So good note, good note, good note. I'll make a adjust accordingly.

That was my first day on that movie. David O. Russell, a genius filmmaker. It's very funny like him being like,, we gotta keep my script under wraps. Cause it doesn't seem like he writes the kind of movies that like people are like looking to steal. It's not like a Marvel script where, you know. You got a nice Shyamalan. All right, family trips, everybody.

Oh boy. Oh, let's go on some trips. You wanna talk trips? We'll talk trips. What is Christmas in Finland like? Oh, they're really into it. It's gotta be huge. Yeah, they gotta be really into it.

They're really into it. They probably like created Santa and shit. First of all, they skipped Thanksgiving. So they save it up. They go straight to Christmas. So it starts early. And they're probably eating some reindeer, I would imagine.

And they got the reindeer, and apparently Santa lives up there. I think a couple people have claimed Santa and they're one of them. So they're very into their Christmas and they got the Christmas town, they got the Christmas, and they got a lot of lights because it's so fucking dark. Yeah. So they're really into their lights.

Mm. Nice. Mm. Do you feel a pang of missing it now that you're gone? A pang. I like the licorice. Okay. I like, by the way, cold and dark

and depressing when you're inside looking out, but when you get out, it's lovely. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way of putting it. You have to go out in sub freezing weather to be happy. But they got to be, I'll be just walking around how happy they are that they're in NATO now.

They're just like, oh, we're in NATO. Yeah. That's the biggest Christmas gift Finland is getting this year. Thank you. And sir. Tim, growing up, would you guys have a lot of people over for the holidays? No, we were- Or were you insular? Insular, well, yeah, it was insular.

It was, yeah, Christmas in Modesto. It was- Was your dad like, was your dad like, we're not having people over? You guys don't even know how to say our fucking last name. Hey, real quick, do you guys mind if I plug my Hallmark holiday movie, Christmas in Modesto? It comes out tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning.

So, yeah. I play a young Tim in the movie. I have a true story to tell you guys. So we have decommissioned iPhones. So no service, but our kids have them. And we load up stories on them. And so they can listen. If one of the kids, the boys share a bunk bed, and if one of them wakes up early, they just put on headphones to listen to a story.

So Alexi the other day realized Axel was on chapter 18 of a book called The Christmas Tree Farm. And it has like an animated box in the, and then his headphones are out and she hears somebody in the story say bullshit. And she's like, what's going on? And she goes, Axel, what's this book about? And he goes, oh, it's so good. It's about a woman who owns a bookstore

and then a guy comes back to visit his brother and they fall in love. And then he buy the Christmas tree farm. And, uh, but then there's also, they have to find a dead body in a farm and we're like, it's, and then we look, it's like a romance novel. And... She was, she played it and at one point it's like,

it's literally like, her breasts were heaving. And he knew. They did not touch. And, and we're like, I'm like, it's chapter 18. So he's just fully, he's six years old, FYI. Can you take it away from him or do you have to let him finish because he's so pot committed at this point? We had to take it away because this teacher said

that he kept coming in class and ripping open her bodice. Tim, back to your holidays. Christmas in Modesto. Nobody comes over. What's the holiday meal? What are you guys cooking? Are you guys doing like a turkey in your house? What are you doing?

You know, my wife asked me that. I don't remember what we ate. I remember, here's what, listen, here's what I remember. There's only a couple of things that really, I mean, visually you really remember those like going out and what seemed like crazy amount of gifts under a tree. Remember when you were little, remember those. And you also, those were the, you saw like,

there was like a bicycle. You know, like, remember? Like just like coming out and seeing a bicycle. That was the most exciting fricking thing in the world. Yeah. And we had a Christmas tradition, which we kept up here at the Oley house. We would line up shortest to tallest

before we could go out. Anyone else? Anyone do that? Before you could go outside? No, before you could go see the, you weren't allowed, we woke up, we could not go into the living room where the tree was and the gifts were.

Gotcha. That's great. Right? You're not allowed. You could, and so before we could go into that living room area, we would line up and all go in together. And it was always smallest to tallest, which we did with our kids when they were little. We'd go downstairs, but you could not go in the living room until we lined up and then we'd all go in.

And smallest gets first crack at it. Smallest gets the first look. It. Smallest gets the first look. It's just Smallest gets the first look, everyone else is taller. And over the years, the lineup shifts. Right, because you were the middle of three boys. It was the middle of three. And so it always started out, right?

You'd have my youngest brother, then me, and my oldest brother, and then my mom and my dad. But slowly mom would move towards the front, right? Right? Whenever you get to that point where mom's- Would she act surprised when she was first looked? She's like, oh my goodness. Listen, I think at that point, it's not the giddiness that you had when you were little, but it's still the tradition. But yeah, we did that here with our kids, right? We would all line up and then we'd all go in together. I like that here with our kids. We would line up, we'd all line up and then we'd all go in together.

I like that. Are your kids coming home, Tim? Do you see them? Yeah, this year they're all coming. Well, two live here in town. One's here in the house. Jesus Christ, can we all talk about that? Um.

Um. Somewhere along the line, my wife fucked up. Uh, cause it's not me. I mean, come on. No, nobody thinks it's you. I've said it in a few. I'm in Finland. How could it be my fault?

I'm in Finland with your mom. Oh my God. Uh, I'm in Finland working my ass off eating a horse. I mean, it's not. Horse, I think, is the first memorable meal you've ever had. Every time we ask you, what did you have for Thanksgiving? I don't know.

I don't know, yeah. What was Christmas? No idea. How about Finland? Horse. So much horse. You ever had horse carpaccio? It's...

Yeah, but then the youngest who's in New York is, she comes home next week. Great. That's great. When you're opening gifts, I assume there's still a lot of gifts under the tree. Do you go one at a time or are people tearing through gifts simultaneously? Same question to you, Ike.

Again, my kids are older now, so we're throwing it back when I'm going down memory lane. You guys all have young little kids. Yeah. What's going on? I mean, my kids are in their 20s. What the fuck happened? And I'm like 38.

Well, you had them earlier. It doesn't mean. I'll explain it to you. It doesn't. It doesn't. I mean, my kids, my kids, they're almost old as I am now. Do you get like, I mean, do you get the same number of gifts or has the number of gifts

or has the amount of gifts under the tree diminished? Diminished big time. Now? Yeah. Oh geez, no. Listen, no, now it's just like, here's some slippers, yeah. If anyone in your family gets a gift that they don't really like,

is it the thing that you say like, I love it, or do you say, not for me? You could give me like a bag of flaming dog shit, and I'm so adverse to conflict. I'd be like, great, thank you. Yeah, all right. I've been wanting to step on something like this for a while, awesome.

I do remember that, like, every time you tell me, oh my God, this movie's so good. I'm like, I saw him once be so excited about fighting dog shit. This is crazy. I mean, for our kids, it's pretty calm. I mean, we give them, like this year, we got them all, like Bill O'Reilly's newest book.

He's got a new one? He's got a new one. Killing Jefferson. Killing Jefferson. I was like, I thought he died of natural causes. He was like, no, he was murdered. And then Yankee candles. So it's pretty cut and dry. No, I mean, it's Bedlam.

They are tearing through their gifts. And my wife and I don't- So you don't go, it's not one at a time? No, it's just, they just kind of go crazy. We try to do some law and order with it, but they, it just doesn't work. Do you have to read the card first? You gotta read the card first.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't even know who it's from. You don't even know who it's from. Yeah. Serious question. How much effort do you put into a gift for your spouse at this point in your marriage? Oh goddamn. Wow. We're kind of at, I will say like Alexi and I have decided just

in the thick of kids it's not gonna be a thing. We made the same decision too but I think it really came from me just being terrible at getting her gifts. I'm really like. Yeah and like the thing that pisses me off too, and it's like, there's a clothing store that's not too far from where we live. That's like, it's like, it's like casual clothing for men and women. And I was in there getting a sweater for myself. I think actually this sweater, no joke. And I saw they have like matching, like, was it on sale? It was, this was, no, no, this, this was full price.

I paid full price. I actually paid a little. I paid a little more. I liked it. So, um, but it will go great with the red cap. They said that that was part of the whole marketing of it, but I got her like sweatpants and a sweatshirt. And I remember when she opened it, she was like, Oh, thank you.

Like clearly throwing shade at like the lame gift. She wears those sweatpants and that sweatshirt like two to three days a week. So I'm just like, yeah, you hated it at the time. And we're like mad that we got married, but you love it now. Yeah. Bullshit.

That's why I got Alexi water and she drinks it fucking every day. It's like a bottle of smart water? I did actually get Alexi a water bottle one year that was one of the best gifts I ever gave her that she always uses. This is a true story, Tim. Back in the day when I first started in SNL, I remember Ike once visited me and I had a Brita in my fridge, but there was no filter. It was just, do you remember this Ike once visited me and I had a Brita in my fridge, but there was no filter. It was just, do you remember this Ike?

Yeah. At like some point I'd lost the filter, but I still was using the Brita. I remember you took it out and you're like, and this works? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's more ceremonial. It was the Brita filter, champagne and mustard was at one point the only thing I had my food. So Tim, back to this. Do you have to pretend that you like a gift even if you don't like a gift? No, you know, I can't remember the last time I had to pretend to like a gift. Alright. No.

I mean, the only times you have to do that, right, is if the person's in the room with you, right? Sorry, Tim. Oh, and later, go ahead. Tim, real quick, I'm just, your lighting has changed. Where is the Maltese Falcon? Okay. A broad started for me.

No, no, hold on. But I got plans for her. Talk amongst yourselves, talk amongst yourselves. All right. I liked it, by the way, I wasn't. Yeah, no, hold on. Talk amongst yourselves. Talk amongst yourselves. All right. I liked it, by the way. I wasn't. Yeah, no. It was great.

Yeah. Cool. You never see that in podcasts. There's a modern video. That's cool. There we go. There we go. There we go.

This could be a call center in Bangalore. Did you have, all right, did you have a kid of your three kids, each of you, that was easier over the years to buy gifts for? Like someone that was specific in what they loved? Yes, for sure. Right? I think so. There's certain people they're so easy to buy gifts for right?

Well, first of all, it's always great when somebody has like that's their thing. They like blah blah blah, right? Like a That's such a help, right? Yeah our middle kid Peyton loves Legos like any kind of Lego so that's just like a home run and she will literally like open it and while we're still doing gifts like Go into the dining room and start like assembling it like that's a that's the easy home run and she will literally like open it and while we're still doing gifts, like go into the dining room and start like assembling it. Like that's a, that's an easy home run. The other two kids, I don't get along with them very well, so I don't know. But her, she really, uh, it's good. Don't you think for the price point, Lego should take five times longer than they do?

Cause I'm so excited when they start building Legos and I'm so bummed how quickly it's over. Yeah. Have you guys, I don't know, if you've ever done, have you ever been to a Lego land? I've never gone yet. Is it great? Yeah. If you're a kid and you love Legos, it's great.

If you're not, it's bad. Josh, jump in on this, because this is a family trip, so get your teeth in. Yeah, no, go ahead. I'm enjoying this so far. Well, thanks for cutting them off. Legoland is rough.

If you're an adult, not a Lego enthusiast, it's like Disneyland, but instead of the dozens and dozens of beloved characters from a hundred years of movies and TV shows. It's just LEGO. So it's just like, oh, oh, instead of you could be like, oh my God, there's Darth Maul fighting Goofy in LEGO land. It's like, oh my God, look at that square.

Right. I guess the problem with this, Ike, is that you're like, the cool version of you is the one at Disneyland who's super psyched to see Goofy and Darth Maul. You know how like when you're adult with your kids and you're like, oh! Yeah, I'm a Disney adult. I'm not a Lego adult.

We went to Disney with my dad and mom. And I remember like, dad, do you remember dad started dancing with Snow White? Yeah. And it was just, you know, it was... Oh, no! You know, and just... And I feel, I remember feeling so to my bones embarrassed,

and now my oldest is he just has so much embarrassment for anything I do. Whereas my middle could care less, but it is funny to watch. I deeply remember, oh, don't stop dancing with Snow White. This is not for you. I remember when my daughter went to school one day, I was walking her to school and the headmaster at the time was a jovial fella.

And he was just kind of looking at the kids and he goes, there's a bright golden haze on the meadow. And I go, there's a bright golden haze on the meadow. And my daughter looked at me with, like if I was her, Menendez Brothers, like dead shotguns, everyone's dead. We don't know, they were sort of justified. Oh no, there's one thing I want to come out of this podcast

is that those boys are free this holiday. But yeah, it was very embarrassing for her. There was a time, not to brag, and this is not a sponsor, but Cecily Strong and I did some Verizon ads. And there was one kid who every day dropped off Ash for like three months and he would go, hey Verizon! And basically, I remember at some point,

I literally muttered to like a seven-year-old like, I do other stuff. ["I do other stuff"] This is like a very small part of what I do. There's nothing better than a seven year old. I once dropped off, my kids went to this progressive school and I think it was Larry Charles's kid, you know, the director. Yeah, Larry. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, his kid was like, this is kindergarten through sixth grade, so he's not above sixth

grade. So he's not above sixth grade. He, I think that kid at the time might've been in third or fourth. And I was on campus dropping my kids off and he goes, you're really great in Deadwood, man. I'm both concerned. And I also, for that point forward, I was like, I was both like, this is, I'm both concerned and I also, for that point forward, I was like, that kid's cool. That kid's cool. Yeah. It's cool.

Until he went all swearing gin on one of his classmates and called him a filthy cocksucker. Yeah. Yeah. I said this, I think I said this on the podcast, but I went to pick up Ash at, sorry, Axel, the middle one, at camp this summer. And a kid came up to me, he goes, is it true?

And I go, is what true? He goes, did you write the song, The Final Countdown? And I was like, why? And I was saying to Axel, like, why? I do stuff that, why, you don't have to make up a thing. Wait, the Europe song, The Final Countdown? Yeah. Yeah, my dad's the front man for Europe.

My dad wrote, in the mid-80s, my dad wrote the final countdown. Yeah, my dad's 78 years old. I love that you pulled Europe right there. You were right there. Yeah. Don't make me tap the sign. Celebrity Jeopardy.

Don't make me tap the sign. Do you know that? Do you know that about Ike, Tim? No. Ike won Celebrity Jeopardy. He won Celebrity Jeopardy and then he was entered into the tournament of champions and made it through a couple of rounds of that,

of Reg Jeopardy. Reg Jepp. They call it Reg Jepp. Yep. Ask me any question, Tim. Ask me any question. Huh? Ask me any question.

How do you live with yourself? Did you ever... Was that a question on Celebrity Jeopardy? Was that a question on Celebrity Jeopardy? Was that a question on Celebrity Jeopardy? No, they didn't give that one. By the way, just new podcast with me and Seth. Yeah. How do you live with yourself? How do you live with yourself? They didn't give that one. By the way, just new podcast with me and Seth.

Yeah. How do you live with yourself? How do you live with yourself? How do you live with yourself? With him, all of it, and Seth Meyers. You're in on that, right Seth? I'm in, yeah, I got nothing but time to do podcasts. I already got the gear.

We need someone to hold the center. All right. And we'll have celebrity guests on, and then we'll just ask him how they live with themselves. I know my brother, he's gonna try to get it back. Here you go, buddy. Well, I'm gonna try to, family trips. I feel like we have one more... We have a video message.

Yeah. That I think is gonna help to get us back on track. I don't know. No, it's... Go ahead. I'm just saying, you're putting a lot of confidence in our next guest to get us back on track. Well, I think our guest will talk about holidays

and then we'll get back to holidays. But I think we need sort of a reset and this is gonna do it. Hello, Myers Brothers, Amy Poehler here, wishing you a very happy holiday and checking in with you on your holiday podcast of Family Trips. I don't have any holiday stories about going away

for the holidays. My family always stayed in the Boston area for Christmas. And we just kind of drove from town to town visiting various relatives, but we never went anywhere warm or anywhere cold or anywhere, anywhere. So I've been kind of racking my brain to think about what to add to your podcast, but I will say that a holiday ritual that I've started as an adult that I hope to continue is the New Year's Day Polar Plunge. And I don't do it just because it's my last name. I do it because I feel like the cold waters cleanse me of my previous year's sins and

get my head straight for what's ahead. So I go to Coney Island, I jump in the water with the rest of the crazy people and I'm going to be doing that again this year. Jan one. So that is, it's not really a trip. I mean, I guess it's a trip and then it takes your mind to crazy places, man. I mean, it's kind of an existential trip. Have you guys ever thought about talking about trips a different way? You know, trips where

you don't even leave your couch? Family trips where you all go to a different dimension. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah. I know you don't celebrate Hanukkah, but well, actually you probably do, right? I don't know. I'm not sure. But either way, happy holidays to you both. I love your podcast. I love you. And I hope you have a wonderful end of the year, beginning of the next. Back on track, baby. There we go. Oh, Polar Plunge.

I'm gonna jump in. Has anybody here ever done a Polar Plunge? I've done like- I just got back from Finland. That's all we did. But didn't you just, did you go in ice cold water? Yeah. What other kind of water they have there this time of year?

That's a good point. Like the showers are ice cold? I thought you were in saunas and stuff. You do the sauna and then you go out and jump in the lake. Oh, wow. So you were doing a full lake. God love you. Was it great? Oh my, amazing. Highly recommended.

Isn't it more of a fjord? What? How do we feel about this? That's the thing to do. Oh, there we go. Can I just keep my arm like that? Yes, Jim in the back. I've never jumped in a cold lake, but I recently started, when I'm done with my shower, I turned the cold all the way and it gets cold and for like 20 seconds, I let it hit my face for 20 seconds.

I let it hit like this side of the lymph nodes, the 20 seconds, this side of the lymph nodes, and again, sorry, I'm just going to say it. And then the last 20 seconds turn, turn around, pull apart my butt, let it all. I do. I'm being serious and I feel good about it. I feel like I- That's a daily, that's a daily thing?

That's a daily routine now, it's part of my daily routine. I'm keeping my hands cold. I was at a party two or three weeks ago that Ike was at and I was trying to leave. I was like, I had to get home, I had stuff to do the next day and I walked- Two status words in English language, I had to get home. I had stuff to do the next day. And I walked. Two saddest words in English language.

I'm thinking them right now. It was a dining room table and Ike was telling a story about his process of going from bath to shower. And it was taking so long. And I found a gap in the story where I was like, hey, I'm gonna take off. And he's like, and then I go from the tub to the shower. I was like, brother, I'm gonna take off. And he's like, and then I go from the tub to the shower.

I was like, brother, I gotta go. I gotta get out of here. He was holding court talking about like, I get in a tub. I put in like a half a bag of Epsom salts, hot as you can, hot as you can. Baking soda, throw some baking soda. Little bit of baking soda. Everyone's just down there.

I go underwater, I hold my breath for as long as I can. And I was like, goodbye, goodbye. Then somebody else walked in and Ike was like, oh, I'll start from the beginning. All right, so get naked, turn the water up. Jesus. Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.

This episode of Family Trips is brought to you by Nissan. It's time to fuel your inner adventurer in the award-winning Nissan Rogue, Rock Creek. Hey Seth. Yeah. Tell me about your inner adventure. Are you a rocky trails guy or more of a snow roads bird? I'm a snow roads bird. Like to go up my snow roads,

maybe pull over at one point, pop off a couple snow angels back in the car, keep on rocking. Yeah, I was going to say, your snow angels are some of the nicest snow angels I've ever seen. They look as though they, an angel fell from heaven and just splatted into the snow. Yeah, one thing I will say, a note on snow angels. Yeah.

You don't have to do them face down. What? This is going to be them face down. What? This is gonna be a game changer. What about you, Posh Rocky Trails or Snow Roads Bird? Well, I mean, I'm a bit of both. I do love when you're in a vehicle that can handle some rocky terrain.

I like driving slow and feeling a big old tire sort of creep over a rock and sort of waggle you back and forth. And that's the kind of feeling that you can get with some confidence in the Nissan Rogue Rock Creek. And I would say a lack of confidence in the car we drove in high school, which was a Renault Le Car, and if it was even a little bit rainy, you wouldn't go outside. Whatever kind of adventurer you are, the Nissan Rogue Rock Creek is ready for you.

Thanks to its intelligent around view monitor with off-road mode, the Rogue Rock Creek is ready for you thanks to its intelligent around view monitor with off-road mode.

No, it's a forced perspective So you they were like we're either gonna go a chalamet and we gotta have a regular size guitar or we go with Ike We just gotta get a real big one They said James Mangold said the budget would be too big

to build these giant guitars for me. And don't even get me started on the harmonica thing. Oh my God, the harmonica, the budget on the harmonica. Yeah. Too much, too much. Looked like a carburetor. So, all right, so you got the movie, that's great. Yeah.

I mean, what's the best, over the years, you've taken Mom and Dad to a lot of holiday movies? Like around this time? What was the best one where you guys walked out and you were all in a really good mood? Well last year and we can't do it again because we did it last year. I mean you could do it again, but we went to the uh, Walt Disney concert hall and saw the LA Phil Playing along to Home Alone Oh, wow, and Home Alone's so good. It's so fun.

And I was worried in the middle of it, I sort of looked over and I was like, is dad enjoying this? Cause I know mom's enjoying it. And I was worried about dad. And then afterwards he was like, that was great. That was so impressive. Well, your dad hates burglars.

He hates burglars. So he was happy to see that most things he hates most things. Yeah. Yeah. Is that true? The Meyers that he's a curmudgeon kind of a thing. Yeah. I mean, like he likes what he likes.

Yeah. He loves, he loves shameless. He loves Showtime shameless. And, uh, and if you, uh, if he ever says to you, have you seen shameless? He loves shameless. He loves Showtime shameless. And if you, if he ever says to you, have you seen shameless? It doesn't matter what your answer is. He'll explain what it is. There's no way for him to not explain

the premise of the show shameless to you. Seth, where are you guys going? What are you doing? We're gonna go. Are you acting right now? You like this? We're gonna go, he's shooting a David O. Russell movie. Your arms up like that Bruce Springsteen

born in the USA pose, that's what I like. This is how I went to most junior high dances. I was like, I just wanna make sure this doesn't fall. I am going to be in New Mexico. I'd love to be happy to dance, but this could come down any second. So I'm just going to stay over here and hold this wall. A New Mexico Christmas.

New Mexico Christmas. Wait, you're going to New Mexico? Yeah. That's where my wife's from. So we're going to go to New Mexico, which is lovely, but a little cold. You're bringing the three kids? Abjanshibe? Yeah. I will say, the thing that's very nice

about Albuquerque, New Mexico, if you were a New Yorker, is everything is easy to get to, and there's parking everywhere. So when you go to the zoo, you park right next to the zoo, you park like right next to the front door and then it's a real good zoo. So that's nice.

It's just by like day five, you've been to the zoo three times and the science museum five times and you wanna kill yourself. Anyway, can't wait to see my in-laws. Christmas morning, you guys do like a seven hour immersive tour of all the Breaking Bad locations. We do. We do.

And we, uh, we give out a little, um, we cast it. So, you know, uh, my daughter, uh, she's Jesse and then Axel. Axel, you're Tuco this year. We give him a little bell. You want some more potatoes? Bing, bing, bing, bing. Do the kids like, do they have a whole like, they love to go to grandma and grandpa's like in New Mexico?

Love it. Love, love, love it. It's the best. And I really, my in-laws are cast and good people. They're a good grandma and grandpa. Good, fine people. And so it's lovely. And I will say, love New Mexican food. It's a little bit like going to Italy for two weeks where by day four you wish there was a second cuisine, but it is exceptionally Mexican food. It's a little bit like going to Italy for two weeks where by day four you wish there was a second cuisine, but it is exceptionally good food.

Yeah, I like it. Well, Josh, do you wanna, we like wrap up how disappointed you are? Well, I just think, you know, maybe we prep a little bit more for this next year. No, it's good. I feel like Tim's got a lot of stuff sort of still in his back pocket.

What do you mean? Why do you think Tim, every time you ask Tim a question, he's like, we didn't do anything. I don't know what we ate. And yeah, it's over. I got stories. You want, what do you want?

I can give you a story. You want a travel story? You want a holiday? What do you want? Do you want travel stories? Yes. or you want a travel story, you want a holiday, what do you want? Do you want travel stories? Yes! Uh, yeah, no, I just feel like we, I feel like we, every time we got close to a story, we got cut off by some bit.

We got cut off by a bit? Yeah. That's what the stories are. That's what the stories are. Yes. That's what the stories are. Well, I really, it was very special that you guys joined us on this holiday spectacular. You know, obviously we may reconsider the name based on how it turned out. I was about to say, has this been it?

Don't undercut it. Did I? If you guys could... I did, and re-listening to your first time around the block with us, Tim, it was maybe like 22 minutes into the episode where you said, is this the podcast? Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed. Oh, wow. I would like to say that in our family,

we've always been able to say when we don't like gifts and it's something that I've held onto, which is tricky with my wife and her family because they're not of that mind. But I think that's a good way to be. They're not of that mind, AKA polite. It's not impolite. You can say, you know, it's the thought that counts.

And to not hold on to something that you know that you dislike because you're afraid of offending someone. And my thoughts count too. And I'm currently thinking I don't like this gift. So why are my thoughts worth less than yours? I will keep this about the holidays and the, is it about the trips or the holidays? It's the holidays.

Holiday trips. Okay, oh yeah. Because cards are a big deal for us. I feel like we, yeah, we love the cards. Like Christmas cards or playing card games? No, yeah, playing, we are big into, We love the cards. Wait. Christmas cards or playing card games? No, we are big into, and I feel like I've kept them all, but I feel like encouraging the kids

to write like really good cards, is like so, so wonderful. Like that's been a big stress throughout our holidays over the years and still is, I think, even with our kids being much older. Oh, that's nice. There's nothing better than, and it's super great when they give each other a car.

Those things are pretty big. Tim. More so than gifts. I feel like I've heard this story about Josh Duhamel. Are you in his Christmas card one year? No, he was our Christmas card. So did he pose with your family? I was like, wait, what? I think I can pull it up.

So for years, I'd been hearing that, one, I remember the first time I was playing pickup basketball with a bunch of buddies and they're like, have you met this guy Josh Duhamel? And they're like, you guys could be brothers. You guys look so alike. And then over the years, I've, you know, you go into a cafe and some girls behind the counter are giggling and I make some dumb comments to my wife, like, look at this, I can't go

anywhere anymore. And then my wife goes up to the counter and they're like, is that really Josh Duhamel? Like I got a lot of it. And then, so I got a lot over the years mistaken for Josh Duhamel and would be, you kind of know, and we had like friends in common that he was being mistaken for me a lot over the years.

So we're at a Dodger, Clinton Kershaw had this charity event out at Dodger Stadium and someone's like, you know, Josh Duhamel's here. And I'm like, oh my God, please let this be. As soon as I saw him, we'd never met. We both just started laughing. I mean, it was just as soon as we saw each other, we started laughing. And while he and I are talking, Mookie Betts goes up to Josh and says, are you going to do another hit man? And he looks and says, not me, buddy. And he points, he goes, this guy. And then Mookie Betts goes, oh, it happened right in front of me.

It was amazing. So we literally have had this thing. So it occurs to me, no Oswitch here. I say, uh, I was like, dude, I got my whole family here. And he goes, and I said, would you take a picture? And so he said, sure. Not only did he take a picture, so he and my wife, three kids, right before we snap it, he puts his head over on my wife's shoulder. He puts his head over and Alexis, he grabs my son and pulls him in really tight. So this is amazing photograph of Josh, my wife and three kids. And my daughter's looking

at, I mean, they're all the looks on their faces is amazing. And we sent that out as our holiday card and just said, you know, happy holidays from the elephants and Josh. And we put it just sort of small on the bottom. But the punchline of this whole thing is that my brother was at my mom's house. He called me. He's like, dude, I was like, you know, mom always puts up all the holiday cards on the refrigerator. And he goes, I literally just go, I said, how about Tim's, he says, I just said to mom, how about Tim's card? And then she goes, I know, don't they all look great? He said, he said, mom, you know, that's not Tim, right? She said, what are you talking about? You know, she goes,

that's not Tim. And then she goes, what? And she goes, oh my goodness. She goes, you know, I thought he looked taller. All these years, your mom has been telling people, my son's the star of the TV show, Las Vegas. Yeah. So anyway, yeah. So he was a, that was a memorable holiday guard. And he and I, we have exchanged cards since ever since then. Wow. I want to make that my holiday card.

Who would you, Ike, who would yours be for the lookalike card? Well, I mean, it's always been Mark Wahlberg, but as I get older, it is becoming Chris Cooper. Yeah, people are always saying to me like, why were you so mean to Jason Bourne? Why did you approve Treadstone? But yeah, so I would do one of those guys.

Maybe that would be wrong. I like that you're only approached by people who also don't understand that actors aren't responsible for what their character's doing. That's right. Not only mistaken for- Why didn't you want Jake Gyllenhaal to be good at Rockets?

You're a jewel back spread, right? Pashi, what's yours? I don't know. I don't know who my doppelganger is. What about our governor? Oh yeah. Speaking of our governor. Our governor Newsom, I, through Seth,

Newsom Gavin's sister reached out to see if I would record a birthday message for him, which I did. It was like four days before my wedding and I was stressed out, but I got this request from the governor's sister and I was like, I gotta do it. And so I recorded this thing and then just yesterday

Seth forwarded me a thank you that Governor Newsom recorded for me and it's great. It's so good. He's doing my impression of him back to me. It's really, that's the part that's really impressive. He's doing Josh's Newsom And of course it's, yeah. And then like, Mackenzie, my wife was watching it with me and she said, you sound just like him.

And I'm like, he's doing me doing him. And half, and the halfway through the message, he drops the impression and he's just himself. And she's like, oh, okay, okay. Now in that story, when you said you were stressed four days before the wedding and doing it, were you stressed about the wedding or having to record that message for the governor?

I was stressed because I had a lot on my plate and then entered into my to-do list was, hey, can you sort of, and if I'm sending a message to Newsom, I want it to be good. Yeah. Right. I wanna sort of write something. So did sending a message to Newsom, I want it to be good. Yeah. I want to sort of write something. So did the toast at the rehearsal dinner? Did it was not quite up to Sparks? No, no, no. Everything worked out.

You're like, honey, I had to work on something. God damn it. It's the governor. Ike crushed it at the wedding. Crushed it. You want me to read the whole speech right now? First, you get the bath hot. It finished with him singing We Didn't Start the Fire. It did. At my wedding, Josh and Jordan Peele and Rob Benedict,

our friends, sang Billy Joel's For the Longest Time to my wife and then for Josh. With you. With me. You took the lead, yeah. I'll tell you. And then I sang We Didn't Start the Fire for you. I'm gonna give you guys a, here's, with me. With the lead, yeah. I'll tell you. And yeah, and then I sang, we didn't start the fire for it. I'm gonna give you guys a, here's a proud moment.

Keep in mind, I got married at 22. I guess I just turned 23. Feel like that's relevant to the joke. At the rehearsal dinner, I made a toast and I said to my future father-in-law that while I'd only known him a short time, I wanted to know that I found him very wealthy. And I- That's really great.

I find you very wealthy. I find you very wealthy. I've always liked that about you. There you go. I was proud of it. Yeah. I was proud of it. I ran it by my buddy, my best man, the night before.

I was like, hey, what do you think of this? I was like, literally from the shower. I'm like, wait, what do you think of this? I was like, literally from the shower. I'm like, wait, what do you think of this? He's like, are you fucking serious? I was like, it's gonna play, right? It plays. I think it holds up. I've always said, and I've road tested this a great amount of times at charity fundraisers

that I've hosted in New York City. Rich people never mind jokes about them being rich. This one's tricky though, because underneath it is, I want some of it. It's true, it's different. It's a little tricky, because there's an implication there. When you're at one of these charity functions,

ostensibly you are not gonna sleep with all of their daughters. That's true. That's true. You see, this does run, runs a little bit of a, it's a different bit of a cut there. Yeah.

Did your wife like it at the time? Do you recall? Yeah, I mean, there was a, as I recall, it really was a, there was a silence there for recall, it really was a, there was a silence there for a good like 1,000. I don't know who laughed first, but it definitely was a, it was a bit of a- Josh, I feel like maybe because you got married

a little bit later in your life, no awkward speeches would you say? Oh, I don't, yeah, no. Yeah. No awkward speeches. Did you have anything at yours, Ike? No, no. I, it was all good. Yeah, no, no, no.

Nothing, nothing weird or bad, from what I remember at least. I was, I had a few beers, but from what I remember- And I of course had Chris Catan, which was a full disaster. So good. But then you had Will Forte come in and give the funniest speech ever. Next time you're here, Tim, next time you're in New York, I will show you Will Forte's wedding toast.

It's the funniest speech I've ever seen at a wedding. I can't email it because multiple people would just be like, ushered out of show business. But it's really special. I look forward to that evening. All right, well, what do you think, Josh? I gotta kinda check in with my bro here to make sure he feels like.

Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think we wrap it up. We let everyone get back to their holidays. And yeah, thanks fellas. I feel like right as we hang up, Tim's gonna be like, I once took a Christmas train across the country. Tim just had that great, he had a great Christmas card story about Josh Duhamel.

I bet we would have gotten to that earlier. We took a train. You want to say? We met Santa. Oh, I forgot. We met Santa Claus in my family. Listen, I'll give you a train. I'll give you a train. You ready?

Yeah. Let's say'll give you a train. I'll give you a train. You ready? Yeah. Let's say it was around the holidays. We were up in Northern California visiting my brother and we decided we'd take the train to Modesto and we got, my wife, we've got our French bulldog, Bruno. Because she's like, we got to take Bruno. So but she's like, we really want to take the, we're going to have a fun,

take Amtrak down through the Central Valley to Modesto. As my brother takes us over to the train station, we're sitting there on the platform. Just as we're starting to wait, my brother's given us the vest, the, what is it? Not a service dog vest, but a, what's it called? You got a-

For your dog, you put the thing on your dog. Yeah, you put the service animal. What's it called? Not service dog, it's the one that's, what's the one that's like, it's helping the person like it's like- Social anxiety, the- Yeah, what's that called person? Social anxiety, the emotional support. Thank you.

So we got to say it's an emotional support dog. Okay. That's important to this story. Yeah. Tighten that part up, would you? No, that was good. So we're there on the platform. The dog is in this vest that's way too big for it,

but it's an emotional support dog vest. And just before the train arrives, it occurs to me, our buddy's got a beach house in Carpinteria, and the train runs right behind it. And whenever we stay in the back guest room, the train goes by, Bruno freaks out. And I was like, you know, Bruno freaks out whenever that train comes by. And we're like, oh, fuck. Well, I don't think that's going to be an issue, right? If we're on the train. Right, right, right. That's different, right? Because it's different if you're on the train than a train passing by. Sure, sure. And we're like, okay, so, and just, we got to keep him sort of busy while the train approaches.

As long as we do that and we get on it. So sure enough, as the train arrives, Bruno starts freaking out. And freaking out is the dog starts panting and starts going, like he really starts shaking and freaking out. And so we walk onto this train. We're like, it's gonna be fine. We just get on the train. And once we're on the train, the vibrations, it's gonna be fine. And we drive that train for at least 45 minutes. And throughout, it doesn't not only improve, worse and worse and Bruno is like,

we're starting to get like, I feel like the dog might have a heart attack, you know? And so I just, I just want you to know that at one point, my wife is on the train walking up and down the car, holding the dog that has an emotional support vest on and she's going it's okay it's okay I'm talking to myself. She should have put the vest on. I said honey you you want to put the vest on? She's like oh no I'm emotional support for animals yeah I see the confusion we had to get off the fucking train.

We got off the train in Stockton and called an Uber. Now, you know, you cut it out, it's fine. I'm just saying, it's a train. It was a trip involved. You said you want a train. I can tell you, you want trip stories? We give you trip stories. He's got them, you guys, he's got them.

You also... I feel like I'm just going to flip through a Richard Scary book and just yell out cars and see if Tim has a story about those two. Go. Cars? You want cars? Cars. Cars. I've got a pickle car.

I also, when you were telling that story, you were leaning in so much, I was really getting flashes of the David Lynch weather report. Very much. The king. He and I did that together, you know, on the radio here in LA. I did the sports, he did the weather. You know that? No.

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Was it for W? For a few years on, there was an indie punk station here in LA. 103.1? Yeah. 103.1, thanks indie punk station here in LA. Right. 103.1? Yeah, 103.1.

Thanks, Jake. And I did the sports. Yeah. Love it. And when my claim to fame was I'm taking way too much time. You know, I'll tell you my sports David Lynch weather story. It's funny. I did, they did that.

I did the traffic. You know, I got my chopper and I would just kind of fly around the city and give the traffic. You know, I got my chopper, and I would just kind of fly around the city and give flash traffic. But your chopper, it was a motorcycle. Yeah, yeah, it was a Harley. I'd be driving up and down the 405. It looks pretty fucked up out here. Yeah.

You guys need a sports reporter on your family trip, so I'll just come in and do the sports. You let me know. Hey, I just realized you're wearing a late night shirt. Ike, thanks for the support. Yeah, 34% of my clothing is late night with Seth Meyers based. Thanks, bud. We got good shirts.

We got good shirts. Rep in the brand. Mm. Do you guys want Family Trips sweatshirts? Yes. Okay. We'll get them out. Yep.

Great. That was it. It seemed like it was a no from Tim. Tim, I'm gonna ask the question again. I don't like a lot of clutter. You know what I mean? I just don't like a lot of clutter. No, I mean, no, I was just wondering if I should,

if I wanted a gift wrap, you know, size medium, I guess. You know, medium, we want this. Snow. What color is it? Whatever the follow-up was, what color is it? I'm gonna wait for Josh to say goodbye, cause I feel like, you know. I feel like he's going away happy.

I feel like he's- I do too now. Just put him in the holiday mood. Yeah. I usually like to keep him an hour. We probably went an hour 20 here, but I think the last 20 was where we really hit our stride. Time to go.

That's the sweet spot. I got swim practice at 10 guys, I gotta go. All right. Thanks, boys. They always call Tim to set an hour before they start shooting, because they realize it takes him a full hour to remember what he's doing there.

Now remember, you just killed someone. And on that note, happy holidays, everybody. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Gentlemen, it was a pleasure. Just a pleasure. Thanks, boys holidays everybody. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. It's a pleasure. Just a pleasure. Thanks boys. Thanks for having me.

Bye guys. Here comes Baron Holtz, Isaac Baron Holtz joining us on the pod. Says he used to run in snow shoes, that sounds pretty odd. Cause I know Iken Boy, I like him, he's my favorite cohort. But I doubt he runs about in any kind of snow sport. Now comes Oliphant, Timmy Oliphant with stories to tell A family photo Christmas card that featured Duhamel Lined up to go see the tree in border short to tall And if there were a hundred ninety-one bad guys Tim would kill them all. Then there's Polar, Amy Polar takes a polar dip. Goes to Coney Island, so we're calling it a trip.

Ike does something similar, he turns his shower to gold. Then something about his butt, it's a story that shouldn't have been told. Happy holidays to your families from everyone over here. Wishing you great memories and a fantastic new year. Do something while you're drinking on this holiday break Find time in the calendar for a trip you'd like to take For a family trip to take
