-This is a tradition -- this is six years in the making.
Four years -- this is the fourth year of this other tradition.
First couple of years, we had one kid --
he could not stay up this late to be on the show.
Now we got two kids who are too young to stay up this late.
But now, for the fourth year in a row,
we've dressed up all of our existing children,
whether it's one or two, in turkey costumes
and our dog Frisbee as a Pilgrim,
and here is two turkeys and a Pilgrim.

-Happy Thanksgiving! [ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ] -There it is.

Now -- and we obviously will send videos.
Face-- You FaceTime with the boys.
You sent a video to Ashe. He's still a little traumatized.
-Yeah, but so am I. -Yeah.
Explain first where you were.
Don't quite explain what happened in the video.
We'll let that be a reveal. -Sure.
Well, my -- my girlfriend's an equestrian,
and she works at a barn in Malibu,
and because of the fires,
they had evacuated a couple camels
and brought them to this barn. -Yeah.
-And I was like,
"Well, I'll take a video for Ashe of these camels
and send it to him."
-Yeah. And I think that was good instinct.
I think, you know, kids like seeing
animals they've never seen before, like camels.
-Yeah, but I like seeing -- I like seeing camels.
-Yeah, every-- I mean, I think everybody gets pretty excited
when they see a camel.
-You see a camel, I hope you're excited.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-But let's see what Ashe saw.
-Hey, Ashe, I come to this barn, and there's this camel.
[ Chuckles ] [ Light laughter ]
[ Laughter ]
Ohh!
[ Laughter ]
-So, safe to say, he will not... -Yeah.
-...he will not -- he will not be engaging with camels much.
-Yeah. I mean, well, it was a --
in a lot of ways, it was a warning.
-It was a warning. -Yeah.
-And now, every time he sees a camel in New York City,
he turns and goes the other way. [ Laughter ]
We've talked a lot before Ashe was born
about what you guys had -- the big plans
of what you were were going to be called as grandparents.
-Right.
-You wanted a Swedish grandmother name?
-Yes, Mormor. -"Mormor" is what you wanted.
And you wanted to be called... -Cisco.
-Yeah, Cisco.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah.
-And they -- it didn't take. Neither of them really took.
-No. -No.
-But, then, you ended up with grandparent names
that I think are almo--
I mean, equally as unique as Mormor and Cisco...
-Oh, better. -Yeah.
-...which is -- early on, he couldn't say grandparents --
he couldn't say "Grandpa" or "Grandma,"
and so, instead, he said...
-Panka. -I was Panka -- Panka Yeri.
-Panka. -Panka.
-Panka. -Panka Yeri. And...
-I'm Panka Huri. -Panka Huri.
-Panka Huri. -Panka Huri.
-Which seems like some weird Eastern European
grandma/grandpa name. -Right.
-But he refers to you collectively as The Pankas.
-Yes. -Yes.
[ Laughter ]
-And it's pretty great, because...
-It is pretty great. -Yeah.
-Well, 'cause when people overhear him saying,
like, you know, "Where -- Oh, The Pankas are coming"...
[ Laughter ] ...I think people picture
some real Old World... [ Laughter ]
-Like the Cossacks or something.
-Yeah, the Cossacks, like that you're gonna show up
with, like, pulling a cart behind you.
-"Yeah, Pankas -- they will be here later tonight, yes."
[ Laughter ] "Lady Panka and man Panka."
-"Is good." -"Is good, yeah, good Pankas."
-"Full moon is good omen for Pankas."
[ Laughter ] It's very exciting, though,
because it's really fun when you have to explain to people
the origin of it. -Yeah.
-And, you know, and, again, like,
I am heartbroken that you're not Mormor,
and I'm pretty psyched that you're not Cisco.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, someday, Josh may have children,
and we have another shot at it. [ Laughter ]
-There is one thing, you know, having two boys,
and our kids are exactly the same amount of time apart
as you and I -- 2 years and 11 days.
-Yeah. -Which is crazy.
And I hope that -- you know, obviously, my hope is
that they'll be as good of friends as we are.
There one thing that I hope will not be the case,
which is that Axel, the younger one, like you,
will not sell out his older brother
the way you did time and time again
when we were growing up. [ Audience ohhs ]
Most famously -- -We like --
-Most famously... -We like rules.
-We like rules in our family. -We love rules.
-I had a -- I had a serious orthodonture in my youth,
up to and including a headgear that I had to wear at night.
-Yeah. There was no Invisalign.
-No, back in the day. -Invisalign was not a thing.
-There was heavy gear, and -- and it was --
I was not getting -- we were not getting
the results we wanted from my orthodonture.
-No, the orthodontist was berating me.
-Yeah. -He said --
implying that I wasn't, you know...
-Vigilant enough. Yes. -...exercising enough
parental control. -How did you take that?
-I didn't take it. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-To the point that to --
basically, to encourage me to wear my headgear,
you offered Josh money... -Yes.
-...if he could catch me sleeping without it.
-Yes, because Josh, when he was little --
he would do anything for money. [ Laughter ]
And so I said that,
if Josh could catch Seth without his headgear,
Seth would have to pay him a dollar.
-Yeah. -And you'd pay.
-It wasn't -- It wasn't -- -Yeah.
It came out of my allowance. -It wasn't headgear.
-What did we call that? -Right.
We again -- from the family that brought you Pankas,
we -- we called my headgear my gummy.
-A gummy. -Yeah. Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
And, Josh, what was your --
who were you employed by in these years?
-The Gummy Patrol.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I was the Gummy Patrol,
working for a -- a shadow organization,
who I can't confirm or deny who it was.
-And, so, can you give a -- just give a normal take
of how the Gummy Patrol would work
and how it would go for me.
-Well, I would see my target... -Yep.
-...brushing his teeth. -Yeah.
-And I would go into his room and hide in the closet...
-Yeah. -...or under the bed...
-Yeah. -Or --
-In a drawer. -In a drawer.
-Yeah. -I was really small.
Under the desk.
And then, as soon as the lights would go out
and it was confirmed
that my target was supposed to be sleeping,
I would pop out and scream, "Gummy Patrol!"...
[ Laughter ]
...which would be heard by them in their room.
-Yeah.
-And then it would be, like, dollar.
[ Laughter ] -And I do want to stress,
all these years later,
the trauma for me doesn't come from losing a dollar.
[ Laughter ]
The trauma comes from you jumping out of my closet
and screaming, "Gummy Patrol!"
And to this day, I can't sleep without a night-light --
a full-grown man. [ Laughter ]
-Well, you're on television. Your teeth are pretty straight.
I don't know if they would be without me.
So I feel like... [ Cheers and applause ]
-It's a very good point. -You're welcome.
Hillary, Larry, and Josh Meyers, everybody!
