President trump, today, instructed the state department to develop a plan to relocate the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. And melania has developed a plan to relocate herself from d. C. Back to new york. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] towards the end of the speech on israel today, President Trump began to slur his words leading some to speculate that he make have been wearing dentures. But the white house insists that its nothing unusual and that most of his words are slurs. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] here, take a look. I asked the leaders of the region, political and religious. Israeli and palestinian. Jewish and christian and muslim to join us in the nobel quest for lasting peace. Thank you. God bless yo god bless israel. God bless the palestinians and god bless the united states. Thank you very much. [ laughter and applause ] seth i cant believe both our first and our last president had fake teeth. [ laughter ] or as trump calls dentures, fake chews. [ laughter ] thats the best joke youre ever going to hear and you didnt appreciate it. [ cheers and applause ] fake chews. [ laughter ] according to reports, the rnc has donated 170,000 to the Alabama Republican Party to support Controversial Senate candidate roy moore. And it looks like, hes already spent it. [ audience ohs ] [ applause ] 32 Democratic Senators have now called on senator al franken to step aside after another woman accused him of Sexual Misconduct. Also stepping aside, women when they see al franken coming. [ laughter ] Time Magazine has named the silence breakers of the me to Sexual Harassment activism movement as their 2017 person of the year. So they didnt choose you but you definitely got mentioned. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] a town in maine hosted a parade over the weekend in honor of the inventor of ear muffs. Unfortunately, he had no idea. [ laughter ] you know its nice with all the negative news out there that when theres a story about ear muffs, youre pretty happy. [ light laughter ] according to new research, it can take up to four weeks for a just ask hannah, a freshman at umass. [ laughter ] i went way too hard last night. Today was National Microwave oven day. I cant wait to nuke somethin said one man. [ laughter ] and finally, this is very exciting. Thanks to new technology we have developed here at late night we now have the ability to record and then listen to the inner voice that is in Donald Trumps head. So here for the third time this week is the tiny voice in the back of Donald Trumps head. [ cheers and applause ] hey, donald, its me. The tiny voice in the back of your head. And now its time to shake hands with a bunch of people who know you cant do this job. Oh, its true. Youre terrible at this job and everyo look at this guy, hes shaking your hands but he thinks youre a bad president. Oh, man, this guy too. Hes saying, good job. But inside his head hes saying donald trump is a grade a moron. [ laughter ] all these people are thinking that. Oh, heres an old lady. You know what shes thinking . Oh, you went bankrupt a bunch of times you should not have this job. Go on your way. Shes saying go on your way. We dont need you here. Bye. Youre pathetic, sad. [ cheers and applause ] seth we have an excellent show for you tonight. Hes starring in the new netflix film, el Camino Christmas, dax shepard is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] from acclaimed drama darkest hour, lily james is joining us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and his latest novel minecraft, the island is out now, max brooks is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] so youre hear on a good one. But before we get to that, President Trump is now all in on backing the accused sexual for a former top aide who lied to the fbi. Making clear once again what trump really means when he says hes tough on crime. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth during the campaign, trump repeatedly cast himself as the candidate who would be tough on crime, using one nixonian phrase in particular. We need law and order in our country. I am the law and order candidate. I will restore law and order. Law and order. Law and order. We have to bring back law and order. Seth that would have been a Great Campaign promise if he meant the tv show. Were gonna bring back law and order and also look for allnew episodes of freaks and geeks. [ laughter ] although, in a way, trump was right. 10 months into his presidency, and his administration is already being investigated by sam waterston. Trump of course has routinely lied about rising crime levels and promised that only he could restore law and order. But not only has he lied about the crime stats, hes also been very specific about who he claims is responsible for those crimes. They want to have Illegal Immigrants pouring into our country, bringing with them crime. Tremendous amounts of crime. We dont want to have that. We want to have a great, beautiful, crime free country. When i talk immigration and when i talk about illegal immigration and all the problems with crime. Illegal immigration also brings with it massive crime. We want strong borders. We dont want drugs coming in. We dont want crime coming in. End illegal immigration. Stop the massive inflow of refugees. Reduce surging crime. So when i said we have to have a moratorium, we have to have a ban until we find out whats going on. I took a tremendous amount of heat. And now everyones sort of saying, trump is seth no one is saying trump is right. [ laughter ] the only time anyones ever said [ cheers and applause ] the only time anyones ever said trump is right is on the golf course. [ light laughter ] where did the president s ball go . Oh, trump is right over in the trees. You cant see him because his hair blends in with the rough. [ laughter ] of course, it didnt seem to matter to trump that immigrants actually commit fewer crimes than nativeborn americans, or that refugees are carefully vetted. Nor did it matter to trump that he was wrong when he retweeted a racist infographic falsely claiming that 81 of whites are killed by african americans, a stat that was completely false. And rather than admit that it was wrong, trump adamantly defended himself. You tweeted out that whites killed by blacks, these are statistics you picked up from somewhere, at a rate of 81 and thats totally wrong. Whites killed by black is 15 , yet you tweeted its 81 . Now bill i didnt tweet, i retweeted somebody that was supposedly an expert and it was also a radio show. Yeah, but why do you want to be in that zone . Hey bill, bill, am i gonna check every statistic . Ive got millions and millions of people. You got to, youre a president ial contender, youve got to check it. Ive got millions of people. You know what . Fine. But this came out of radio shows and everything else. Oh come on, radio shows . All it was is a retweet. Excuse me, all it was is a retweet, it wasnt from me, and it did, it came out from a radio show and other places. Wouldnt it be better seth you know youre in a bad place when bill oreilly is telling you you have to do better. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] thats like steve bannon telling you to go clean yourself up. [ laughter ] so trump has made clear repeatedly who hes really talking about when he talks about crime. Which might explain why, when his former National Security adviser Michael Flynn actually pleaded guilty to a very serious crime, lying to the fbi. Trump, the law and order candidate, suddenly found a soft spot in his heart for criminals, while falsely claiming that hillary had also lied to the fbi. Well i feel badly for general flynn, i feel very badly. Hes led a very strong life and i feel very badly, john. I will say this, Hillary Clinton lied many times to the fbi, and Nothing Happened to her. Flynn lied, and they destroyed his life. Seth hillary did not lie to the fbi. She was interviewed by the fbi, and they found no wrongdoing. Thats like getting caught robbing a bank and telling the cops, what about all those people taking money from the atm . [ light laughter ] and that [ applause ] that came after an unhinged twitter rant from trump, the guy who based his entire campaign on law and order, defending a confessed criminal and attacking the fbi for its investigation of a potential conspiracy to undermine an election. First trump tweeted, so general flynn lies to the fbi and his life is destroyed, while crooked Hillary Clinton, on that now famous fbi holiday interrogation with no swearing in and no recording, lies many times and nothing happens to her. Standard . Man, the new 280 character limit on twitter is turning trump into a beat poet. [ laughter ] so she lies many times and nothing happens to her . Rigged system . [ drumming ] or just a double standard . [ cheers and applause ] man. Trump then attacked the fbi more directly after a report that one of the agents involved in the clinton investigation had sent some antitrump text messages. Trump tweeted, tainted. No, very dishonest . Fbi agents role in Clinton Probe under review. Whats with the parenthetical . [ light laughter ] hes starting to disagree with himself in his own tweets. He sounds like a tortured writer dictating a letter to an assistant. Tainted . No. Very dishonest reporting from lying media. Scratch that, fake news. Let me see that. Oh, this is good. Send this one out. [ laughter and applause ] so trump says hes tough on crime when he thinks those crimes have been committed by immigrants, refugees, africanamericans, or his political opponents, but not when theyve been committed by the people closest to him, like flynn or Paul Manafort or sheriff joe arpaio. Or alabama Senate Candidate roy moore, who has been accused by at least nine women of Sexual Harassment and assault, including several who were underage at the time. After the news broke about moore, it didnt take long for trump to give him the benefit of the doubt. He totally denies it. He says it didnt happen. And you know, you have to listen to him also. Youre talking about he said 40 years ago this did not happen. And i do have to say, 40 years is a long time. He has run eight races and this has never come up. So 40 years is a long time. The women are trump voters. Most of them are trump voters. All you can do is you have to do what you have to do. Seth all you can do is you have to do what you have to do . Sounds like a Fortune Cookie written by someone who was completely out of ideas. Uh, all you can do is you have to do what you have to do. Lottery numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . [ laughter ] and after trumps endorsement of moore, republicans quickly began to fall in line. Just weeks ago the Republican National committee cut ties with moore, but after trumps endorsement the rnc is getting back into the Alabama Senate race and will transfer funds to the Alabama Republican Party. And Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, who just weeks ago said he believed the women and called on moore to step aside, softened his position so much, he couldnt even bring himself to say moores name. If he wins will you insist on referring his case to the Senate Ethics committee . Well i think were going to let the people of alabama decide a week from tuesday who they want to send to the senate and then well address the matter appropriately. Do you believe that judge moore should be in the senate . Im gonna let the people of alabama make the call. But you are prepared to take action if he is indeed elected . Have to consider the matters that have been litigated in the campaign should that particular candidate win. Seth that particular candidate . Did you forget his name . Because heres a phrase to help you remember it. He likes to wear corduroy, and he cant go to the mall any moore. [ laughter and applause ] of course, as if it needs to be said again, the allegations against moore are credible, corroborated by dozens of sources and supporting evidence. And yet, presented with this evidence, all the Moore Campaign can do is call the accusers liars, as a spokeswoman for the Moore Campaign did on cnn on tuesday, during a truly mindbending interview in which she also tried to point out that there are still women in alabama who have not accused moore of sexual assault. [ light laughter ] one of the jobs of journalists is to not just take an Academy Award performance at face value. You need to dig into the facts, and one of the facts in the case. 30 people corroborated her story who knew roy moore between 1977 and 1992. Actually, actually they did not they di recordings of the post. Poppy, we need to make it clear that theres a group of nonaccusers, that have not accused the judge of any Sexual Misconduct or anything illegal. Seth thats literally their best argument. [ laughter ] i cant wait to see their ads. Did you know there are over two and half million women in alabama, and just under two and a half million have never been sexually assaulted by roy moore. [ cheers and applause ] but the most revealing comments trump has made about this race are about moores opponent, doug jones, a lifelong prosecutor who convicted the kkk members responsible for the Birmingham Church bombing that killed four little girls. Trump has repeatedly claimed that alabamians should vote for moore, rather than jones, because of their positions on crime. Jones, ive looked at his record. Its terrible on crime. I can tell you for a fact we do not need somebody thats going to be bad on crime. But i can tell you, you dont need somebody who is soft on crime like jones. We dont want to have a liberal democrat in alabama, believe me. Stopping crime. Seth we want stopping crime . Its official, we elected sheriff tarzan. [ laughter ] but think about that, trump says he wants to stop crime, but hes backing an accused child molester over a prosecutor who convicted the kkk. Which tells you that when he uses the word crime, thats not what he really means. He doesnt want to stop crime, he wants to stop immigrants, refugees, or his political opponents. For years weve heard republicans call themselves the party of law and order, and now trump has revealed what they really mean. Trump talks tough when it comes to mexicans, muslims, africanamericans, and women. But if youre a white man who happens to be close to trump or support his agenda, the strongest thing he can say is this. All you can do is you have to do what you have to do. Seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with dax shepard everybody.

He stars in the upcoming movie el Camino Christmas, which begins streaming on netflix this friday. Lets take a look. You said that you thought that maybe this kid you arrested last night that he could be the gunman . Yes, yes. I mean im fairly certain. Although, i i do believe, i saw two white males, 20s, duck behind the counter. And i mean this one this is crazy. But i thought i saw a little kid. Jesus, billy. Are you sure . I cant be positively positive for sure. But ill tell you this, theres definitely four or five folks in there maybe. [ laughter ] seth please welcome back to the show dax shepard, everyone [ cheers and applause ] seth hi, buddy. Wackerman seth wackerman. Very convenient last name, wackerman, for a drummer . Yeah, my birth name. I dont know. Seth thats true. Right. Birth name. Birth name. Birth name. Yeah. You were destined to play those drums. Right . And you are playing the hell out of them. Thank you. Seth i love that you made that connection. Ive had him here all week. And you didnt do that . No, i didnt think, like, wow, wackerman is a great drum name. And shepard, that doesnt leap out at you as . [ laughter ] they all know. You dont know . They all get it. Its so obvious. Seth so you i want to say you play a Police Officer in this film. Yeah. Seth based on the clip, you do not possess great intelligence. [ laughter ] no. I my niche is an actor is to play very stupid people. Seth yeah. Yeah. Ill take it. Seth does this now there are two kinds of stupid, theres stupid with awareness that theyre stupid and then stupid without. Is this i specialize in without. [ laughter ] seth yeah, thats too stupid to even know theyre stupid. Yeah, like you mentioned baby mama. Seth yeah. So the difference between this character and baby mama is i have a mustache in this. Seth thats it. [ laughter ] yeah and a different shirt. Like i wore a lot of flannel shirts in baby mama and here im obviously in some kind of municipality. I dont know what that is but, yeah. Seth you one of your are you impressed with that mustache . Seth it is a good mustache. Is it your own . It is my own. Seth yeah. And i got to say, i was nervous while growing it that it would be less than powerful. And then when i saw the movie for the first time a couple weeks ago seth its great. Its a very powerful mustache. [ laughter ] seth is that in your illustrious career, is that the first time youve grown your own mustache for a role . It is. Seth wow. And i very much wanted ive been looking forward, hoping, certain dreams have gone away. Seth yeah. Im not going to get hired to play a super hero. Seth you think that window is closed . I had always secretly thought, oh god, i hope i get hired to play a super hero. I can do steroids. Seth yeah. Ou id like to try it as a man. Seth yeah. But have an excuse. Im a father of two. I cant just do steroids for fun. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] but for several million dollars. Seth yeah, you would do steroids. I can do it. Yeah, yeah. Seth so or like a coke addict. [ laughter ] seth you want to play a coke addict . Yeah, i mean, ive been sober for 13 years. But i feel like if scorsese calls and says, i got this great role for you. You just got to huff a lot cocaine. Seth yeah. Id have to do it. [ laughter ] seth i bet they use prop cocaine. I feel like not scorsese. Seth thats true. [ laughter ] no, come on. Maybe spielberg but not Scorsese Seth but so then you got to do the mustache. I did you have enough time . Like when you got offered the part to when you started shooting, were you worried it was too small a window . I was. In fact, its a little, how do we say, inconsistent because it was growing as we were filming. Seth ah. So there are some scenes where its a proper womb broom. [ laughter ] and then there are others where its more just like a preteen. But funny enough, the whole reason im in the movie is that Vincent Donofrio whos also in the movie, much better actor than me. Seth fantastic actor. I would say even. But hes a fantastic actor. Yeah, one of the best. Seth yes. One of the greats. Gets to play smart people all the time they always hire him for that. He text me, hey, were starting a movie in two weeks, because he read the script. He said, this guys dumb, got to get dax. [ audience ohs ] seth yeah. He told the director. He said, yeah, hes as dumb as it gets. [ laughter ] and it was, you know, so it just happened. Like donofrio actually cast me in this movie. Seth thats great. And then he said, im growing a mustache for it. And i said, well then im going to too. And just to kind of mess with him and, you know, here we have it. Seth thats fantastic. Yeah. The movies called mustache christmas [ laughter ] please check it out december 8th on netflix. Seth and its you play two Police Officers but your mustaches solve the crime. Youre just like there. Thats right. Thats right. Thats right. Seth i want to talk like the tea leaves. I put dust in them. And then i Start Connecting the dots. Genius mustache seth at one point theres yarn. Your mustache has yarn connecting different connected to other parts. Seth yeah. And someone goes, oh, my gosh. Thats a map of el camino. Seth yeah. Yeah. Seth and thats how you solve it. Thats right. Seth well, weve given away the film now. Yeah. You know, you can skip it. But you are having youre having another kid . Seth ive having another kid. You have got two now. I do have two. Seth i got my second on the way. What is how would you describe the difference between one and two . Well as you know because youre already a parent, all these cliches you hear, they are painfully true. Seth yeah. And the one we had been warned about which proved to be true, is its not twice as hard with a second kid. Its like 75 times harder. [ laughter ] seth yeah. Its impossibly hard. Seth yeah. And were not super young, you know . I mean seth no were i think we are about the same. I think we are the same age. Seth yeah. Very old. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] yeah. Seth old for young kids. Very old for young kids. Im grateful that i have the patience that i have that i would never had in my 20s. Seth i agree with that. But the bending over seth yeah. And waking up early and, you know, all that caring for them. Seth it is exhausting. And i imagine when you have the second one, the first one doesnt have an appreciation for how much harder it got. Theyre just still a kid. Theyre a kid. They could care less. Yeah, yeah. Seth your 2yearold you just had an incident. Is it safe to call it an incident . It is safe to call it im going to a lot of people come on these shows and they brag about what great parents they are. And im about to tell you something very dark. Seth okay. [ laughter ] okay . First of all, let me just say our 4yearold is perfect. And we thought we were crushing it as parents. Seth right. Oh, my god. We should write a book. Now we have this 2yearold. Shes just an animal. Seth yeah. Right . I mean truth be told the first ones kristen. The second ones me. So, the other night she just would not stay in her bed, refused to do it. Not an option for her.

Look, im not sure if you know this but but the way youre doing your v for victory sign. Well in the poorer quarters that gesture means something else. What does it mean . Well, i wouldnt like to say, sir. I was captured by the boar. I spent time in a South African prison. Up your bum. Sir. [ cheers and applause ] seth please welcome to the show lily james, everyone [ cheers and applause ] seth so first of all, im very happy youre here. Thank you. Seth i want to talk about that clip for a moment because i have a photo here for you to explain a little bit more about the up your bum, cause this was a this is historic. Its a great way to start. Seth exactly. This is historic fact, that clip from the film yes. Seth about something that Winston Churchill actually did. Yes, so this one im not sure if its the same in america, but that means up seth yeah. And i remember doing it at school, and being like [ laughter ] seth yeah. Whereas this one on the other hand is very different, thats v for victory, kind of the peace sign. Seth sure. I guess it started there maybe. Dont know if thats true, but yeah. Seth youre not an expert on this one, youre an expert on i know this one really [ laughter ] this originated seth this one im not quite sure. Its either a v, or like a bird, but this one its just fun to do like now, on tv. Seth so that, again, i feel every time i show a clip from this film i have to tell people thats gary oldman. Yeah. Seth who is unrecognizable as Winston Churchill. Were you a fan of garys before this film . Yeah, i think hes one of the very great actors that we have and he i love true romance. Thats one of my favorite movies. So to see him go from like that dreadlocked drug dealer, and then suddenly seeing him as churchill was insane. Seth it really does speak to an actors range, because no one watching true romance would say, there, we found our churchill. Churchill, there he is. Yeah. [ laughter ] seth this is also very exciting for you personally. I know you just finished filming mama mia 2. You were a huge fan of yeah, give it up for mama mia [ cheers and applause ] seth like them you were also a huge fan. How many times had you seen mama mia . Well, somewhere between like eight and ten. Seth yeah. I was obsessed im an obsessive really which is seth thats okay. Thats okay. Seth i think its good that you know. I used to every year for my birthday my parents would take me to see a show, and i went to mama mia several times, and i love abba, and so it was a lot of my friends have been in the west end show so theres kind of like a whole group of us that have been in like a little family. Yeah. Seth and just the excitement of getting to be in this show that meant a lot to you, you play a Young Meryl Streep, so that what is more stressful, playing a Young Meryl Streep or playing Winston Churchills personal secretary . Because both seem to be very high stres i mean, meryl. Seth yeah, i mean young meryl. That is quite an undertaking. Yeah, i mean both parts were intimidating, elisabeth layton, who i play is a real person, she worked for churchill through the whole of the second world war, and was so dedicated, and incredible and her stories are fascinating, but then meryls meryl. Like [ laughter ] seth yeah. So, it was it is intimidating, but i was just, yeah. Seth i just hope one day, what i would love is, id love you to retell the churchill story to abba music. Like fully bring them together. [ laughter ] that would be great. Seth you injured yourself on set on mama mia. Yes . I did. Seth what did you do to yourself . I currently have a broken toe. Im really accidentprone. Seth okay. Actually during that shoot, i stood on a rusty nail, i broke my toe, i danced too much in a beach club in croatia where we filmed, and cut my whole feet in flipflops.

Please welcome to the show max brooks, everyone [ cheers and applause ] seth so great to see you, max. Its good to see you. Seth for those who dont know, we were both hired in 2001 for a little show called saturday night live. We started together. Thats right. We came up together. Seth yeah, and for those who also forget 2001 was a very weird time to start working at saturday night live. Thats right. We got our job, we threw our hats in the the air. Were going to make it after all, and then two weeks later, 9 11 happened. Seth 9 11 happened, all the hats came back on i k seth and do you remember what happened just like a month after that . We had anthrax in the building. Seth yeah. Good times. Seth yeah, it was the last thing that made you want to write comedy. No, but remember right after 9 11, we were saying, okay well at least the worst is over, its all uphill from here, and then literally we came into work and some guy named Tommy Thompson said you all have anthrax. Seth yeah. That was fun. Seth and then we said well well get back to our sketches then. I know. [ laughter ] i think we did fish genitals. Seth yeah, we did, we did a sketch about fish genitals to help america heal. We showed them. [ laughter ] seth no, this is crazy. So you wrote the zombie survival guide. Right. Seth which obviously zombies, not real, but the guide was written in such a way with actual dealing with crisis that the military reached out to you. Yeah, shocking. I wrote zombie survive guide, and then a little book called world war z. Seth there you go. [ cheers and applause ] and then out of the blue the Naval War College asked for me, and i thought thats cute, who is this really . We want you to come speak, and from there i kept getting these invitations to Different Military forums, and before i knew im a fellow at the modern War Institute westpoint in the atlantic council. Seth now, see my thing is if the same thing had happened to me, and they reached out my first instinct, would be like, oh [ bleep ] zombies are real. [ laughter ] right, which did cross my mind. Seth right. Well actually what crossed my mind was when i stood up in front of this room, i thought okay you mixed up your paperwork and theres a Lieutenant Commander max brooks somewhere at comiccon. Seth yeah exactly, and you actually were just in d. C. Today. Yeah, literally today. Its why i look so tired. I literally was at a conference, the army futures forum. Seth wow. Yeah. Its where they invite all these important military people, scientists, academics, all these important people, and me. [ laughter ] and we are all trying to help the military adapt to this ever changing world. Seth thats fantastic. Another so your new book is about the world of minecraft. Yes. Seth for those who dont know this is a gam v minecraft. No, no, and thats the crazy thing. You know, most video games, the games that we grew up on are very linear, its right way, wrong way, go up the next level, shoot something in the face, and then keep going up, and thats it. Minecraft is essentially life. You are on your own world, its all blocks, but you have to survive. You have to make sure you dont starve, and when the darkness comes, so do zombies. Seth and you play it with your 12yearold . Oh yeah, no, no. We play it all the time. There are two modes, theres creative, and theres survival, and i explained to him, creative is when everything is just given to you without earning it, its the equivalent of you living in my house. [ laughter ] and then eventually youre going to go on survival mode, and have to survive, and theres a game for you to practice. Seth you took your 12yearold to amsterdam, was that creative or survival . [ laughter ] theres no game for this. Theres no scenario. Basically i did everything wrong, and ive learned when you see an alleyway, and you think its just an alleyway, and yore 12yearold says daddy why are all these women naked seth yeah. And you look side to side, and theres, you know, working girls working hard. [ laughter ] seth yeah. You learn what you should do is just say, okay, well, you know, this is their culture, and they dont take its not a big deal, its just like ours. Thats what you do. What you dont do is smack your hand over their face, and grab them by the head, and try to drag them out by the heels while your wife is laughing so hard she cant breathe. Seth yeah. That you do not do. Seth no that probably just sets them back. No, no. Seth if anything theyre like i got to get back to amsterdam. Oh yeah, no, yes. Now theres a map of the world with a giant dart on amsterdam. Seth your father is mel brooks. Do you still see him a fair amount . [ cheers and applause ] yes. I see him every night. Every night. He has a routine. In between his work, and carl reiners house, he comes over, and my son the where everythings inappropriate. And he tries to talk, and i go dont say that, dont repeat that, dont tell your teachers so my dad comes over. Grandpa, come here i got to tell you something, and they go into the play room, and i hear [ whispering ] my father, i hear him go, dont tell your teacher anything you just said. So thats our relationship. Seth and do you is it true that you have things from some of your fathers films . Are you a collector of his memorabilia . I dont know if you call it a collector. Seth right, its just your dad giving it to you. But he said, here do you want this. I go, yeah sure. So i wrote seth i collect my dads old shirts. Yeah, exactly. So i wrote this book, and i write all my books sitting on one of the swivel chairs from the bridge of spaceballs 1. Seth thats fantastic. [ cheers ] so, thats pretty cool. Seth thats great. No complaints. Seth like, thats a good place to have writers block. You say, you now what, the words arent coming, but at least im in a space balls chair. Yeah, i can just turn around on that one.
