  • -Seth, we love you.

  • -I think it worked. -It worked pretty well.

  • You had to wait a little bit. -You have to wait a little bit,

  • but you should be able to wait for friendship.

  • -Right? -Yeah.

  • Hey, so I know you're not supposed to touch your face

  • and I'm not supposed to touch my face.

  • -That's correct. -The thing I can't --

  • the CDC guidelines have not made --

  • Am I -- Can we touch each other's faces?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Oh, that's an interesting thing.

  • -Yeah, so, like, when I want to think...

  • -Oh -- -I should do like this.

  • -Yeah. -Yeah.

  • Yeah, we can do that.

  • -So, just, if at any point during tonight's interview

  • it seems like I'm being thoughtful, I invite you to --

  • -I will. -Be --

  • 'Cause I think that's totally safe.

  • -That's totally safe. Right? We agree with that.

  • Alright, let's check --

  • Someone's calling the CDC right now.

  • -They're going to call the CDC right now? Okay.

  • -Yeah. We have their -- We have their home number.

  • So it's perfect.

  • How's the family doing? How's the kids?

  • -They're great. -How old are the kids now?

  • -They're coming up on 2 and 4.

  • -Wow. -So much fun to be around.

  • -Still little babies, though. So cute.

  • -Still little kids. We just took them on a big trip.

  • -Oh, where? -Yeah, we went to Uruguay.

  • Yeah. -That really is --

  • -You know, 'cause that's like the new Disney World.

  • [ Laughter ] -Uruguay?

  • -Yeah, my wife said, "We should go to Uruguay.

  • I hear it's beautiful." And so I said, "Sure."

  • And then --

  • And the plan was -- She sold it to me like this.

  • You fly to Miami from New York,

  • and then you get on a flight to Uruguay

  • that leaves at 10:00 at night

  • and gets there at 10:00 in the morning, so there's no jet lag.

  • It basically goes straight down, right?

  • -Okay. -So, she was like,

  • "The kids will sleep all night.

  • It will be easier -- way easier than you think it is."

  • So, I'm like, "Great."

  • Then we fly from New York to Miami,

  • and once we board the flight to New York,

  • we get an alert that, "Your flight from Miami to Uruguay

  • has been delayed...12 hours."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Which is the next day.

  • Which is not a delay. That's -- I've been rescheduled.

  • That is not -- -That is not -- Yeah.

  • Yeah, that's not a delay.

  • -If you were at your doctor's office, and the doctor was like,

  • "I'm going to be a little delayed,

  • so just wait here till tomorrow" --

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -No, that's a rescheduling, yeah.

  • -So, we land in Miami.

  • We have to take a shuttle bus to, like, an airport hotel.

  • And the bummer, the burn is, we're like, we're piling out.

  • Everybody's in a terrible mood. And we get off the shuttle bus,

  • and it's just this sort of nondescript airport hotel,

  • and we walk in, and my son goes, "Daddy, it's beautiful."

  • [ Laughter ] And I'm like,

  • "Why are we going to Uruguay?" -"Going to Uruguay?

  • We could just go to a hotel!" -He loves this.

  • -He loves this. -Yeah.

  • I'm going to show him the ice machine,

  • and he's going to lose his mind.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And then -- We had called ahead and said,

  • "Look, we need two cribs." -Yeah.

  • -And they said, "Absolutely. We can guarantee the cribs,

  • but we can't set them up until you get here."

  • 'Cause, you know, it was like 11:00 at night.

  • And, you know, our kids are never up that late.

  • And so we said, "Can you please have them set up?

  • 'Cause we want to come in --"

  • And they said, "It's not our policy."

  • And I wonder why they won't do it.

  • Do they need to see the kids?

  • -Yeah, like, we had a bigger one for that kid and a little one --

  • -Yeah. Or I was like, "Do they think

  • we're like some weird crib fetish people that just --"

  • -Yeah, "We want to see your kids first

  • before we give you a kid's crib."

  • -"We don't want to just let you guys mess around in cribs."

  • -This ends up on the Internet, yeah.

  • -Yeah.

  • And, so, we got a couple cribs.

  • And we're, like, slap happy at this point.

  • You know, everything's gone wrong.

  • -Yeah, you think you got it all figured out.

  • You never do, right?

  • -Yeah, and then they brought one crib,

  • and I said, "It's two."

  • And the guy said, "Oh, we only heard one."

  • And I said, "We definitely said two."

  • And then he definitely, like, broke protocol,

  • he said, "I was supposed to say that.

  • The reality is we're out of cribs."

  • And he goes, "There are too many people here who need cribs."

  • And I'm like, oh, now all of a sudden

  • I understand their policy of see the kids first.

  • -Yeah, yeah, yeah, 'cause they want to just tell you

  • while you're already there in the room.

  • You're, like, unpacked.

  • -And so then we said to our older --

  • So they were like, "We think it's going to be

  • a full 45 minutes to get another crib.

  • We have to go to another hotel."

  • And our little one just crawled --

  • I'd never seen him do this before.

  • He was so tired, the 2-year-old.

  • He basically vaulted himself

  • into his own crib... -Wow.

  • -...and was asleep by the time he hit the ground.

  • -Good sleeper, yeah. -So we say to the older one,

  • "Hey, man, do you want to just sleep in bed

  • with Mommy and Daddy tonight?"

  • And then, you know that thing,

  • the minute you tell a kid they can't have something,

  • he's like, "No, I need -- I love a crib!"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • He's like, "I love a crib!" It was like, "I'm the crib guy!"

  • -Yeah. Yeah, that's -- yeah. [ Laughter ]

  • That's like my mom at a restaurant,

  • always like, "I love a booth! I have to be in a booth!"

  • It's like, "It's just a table, Mom." Yeah.

  • -Yeah. So then 45 minutes later,

  • now we finally got two cribs, and we get our kids in.

  • And again, we have to wake up

  • in, now at this point, three hours

  • to go back to the airport to get on our flight.

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • -And my son wanted us to play music,

  • because sometimes at night, he wants us to play

  • songs that he likes. -Sure.

  • -And so we're trying to just pick one of the songs.

  • 'Cause we're like, "He's going to fall asleep

  • as soon as we play a song."

  • So we're just trying to find something quiet to play for him.

  • And then he again locks in,

  • and he was like, "I. Want. 'Jingle Bells.'"

  • This is two weeks ago, so --

  • Basically we're like, "We're not going to play 'Jingle Bells.'"

  • -I love this kid.

  • -And again, he's like, "I love Christmas music!"

  • -I love this kid. [ Laughter ]

  • -I will say, it was that great thing

  • 'cause I do sometimes think

  • terrible vacations bring families together,

  • and you talk about them the rest of your life, right?

  • -It's true. -If a vacation goes too well,

  • you just forget about it and never speak of it again.

  • This one, we're going to talk about forever,

  • because Alexi and I were in bed holding each other,

  • shaking with silent laughter,

  • 'cause you don't want to reward this nonsense.

  • -Yep. -But our son --

  • I was like, I think in the history of this airport hotel,

  • no one in February has been like,

  • "'Jingle Bells,' or I'm going to lose my mind!"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Never. -Never.

  • And so then we -- Next day, so then again,

  • our flight to Uruguay, which was 10 hours,

  • was supposed to be in the middle of the night.

  • It's in the middle of the day.

  • So it's 10 hours of your kid being awake on a plane.

  • Not fun at all.

  • Get to Uruguay, most beautiful country in the world.

  • Really great, have an incredible time.

  • Get back, and then I bring my son to school,

  • you know, the week -- Monday after we get back.

  • And he walks in, and I just hear him saying to kids, like,

  • "And there, we had two cribs!"

  • And I'm like, "He's still talking about the hotel."

  • -He loves the hotel! -All he cares about

  • is the hotel. -He loves the hotel!

  • -That was his story.

  • -More with Seth Meyers when we come back, everybody.

  • Stick around.

  • He loves that! That's all you need.

-Seth, we love you.
