I wanna first find out how you're doing in quarantine.
I'm finding that I'm getting more kid time.
Is that the same with you?
Absolutely, yeah.
I mean, and it sucks, right?
No, no. It's been a..
No, no, listen to your point.
It's hard.
I'm not a fan of my family.
I don't like them and I find them off putting.
Yeah, no exactly.
And knowing that I'm 50% responsible for how off putting
they are is real humbling.
(Conan laughs)
I think you're, I think you're 80% responsible.
Certainly with my daughter, you know.
I met your wife, she's lovely.
You're 80, you may be 90% responsible
for any negative qualities.
I'm louder, it's just cause I'm louder.
I take up more space, that's all.
But yeah, no we've been getting after it,
you know, it's, you know, our kids are Otis is six,
Daisy is four and they yeah, it's been a lot of,
well with Otis I've been taking them through the classics.
We, you know, we've been doing Star Wars and...
Oh, you watch the classic movies, that's great.
Yeah, we're taking them through that.
Cause that's, I'm not a good teacher.
You know, I was never good at even when I taught improv
at teaching level one, I was not,
I'm not Ted Lasso in that way.
He's a much better person and teacher and leader
and coach than I am.
But you know, going through, starting with,
you know, the Phantom Menace and working through,
we're, you know, our next one is Empire Strikes Back,
but it's been a super fun way and very interesting way
to teach, and I'm sure numerous people know this
to teach good and evil to your kids like,
and just how much they care and how much,
you know, to have your little boy,
like sit there and watch Anakin Skywalker
get more and more angry as this,
you know, this Palpatine dude is like,
you know, putting, you know, whispering things in his ear.
And I kind of have to be,
I'm watching it with the eyes of like,
what's going on in the news today.
I'm like, oh yeah, no, Palpatine's his son of a bitch.
He would absolutely be getting rid of mailboxes right now.
I see what I see with this slick, trying to pull, I get it.
I see this coming a mile away.
That's a great way to teach your kids morality.
I did it when my kids were really little.
I made them watch Good Fellas and yeah.
And I just basically, so that they could learn
that if the mob wants to take over your restaurant,
don't do it cause they're gonna sell.
And it was not the good lessons they needed to learn.
Not as clear cut as what you're talking about.
Well, it's Goodfellas, not good lessons, right?
I mean that's, you know, it's right there in the title,
but we just watched ET this weekend,
we started too late on Saturday night thinking,
oh, we'll do you know, wait til the dark but boy,
our little guy freaked out.
He was so sad when, spaceship.
Spoilers everybody, if you haven't seen it,
but when the spaceship takes off and leaves ET on earth,
he freaked out in a way that was like,
I mean, I felt again, 80% responsible.
It's like, I've never done that to you.
I got immediately defensive.
Right.
It's like he like went to his bed.
It was just like, it's just so sad.
It was mostly cause he was tired.
Cause he watched it the next day.
And the whole time trying to figure out,
Daisy is hilarious, Daisy when like Peter Coyotes character
shows up with the keys and he's kind of ominous
and you don't know who he is.
She's just like, Oh oh, here come the cops.
(laughter)
She knows that at what age?
She's three and a half.
Right.
She said, oh boy, here come the cops, here we go.
Hide the weed.
(laughter)
She has all these outdated ideas.
Speaking of kids,
are your kids aware that you played
a stormtrooper in the Mandalorian?
Do they know?
Cause that would give you the ultimate street credit?
Otis is definitely, we didn't,
we haven't watched Mandalorian.
We're not doing the full universe, just the,
you know, the nine films.
So he hasn't watched Mandalorian yet.
But he got to come to set that day when I,
when myself and Adam Pally who I know,
you know, we got together, we got that call,
like, I mean, yeah man, like the six to 10 year old boy
in me was like, yes, I'll do it, absolutely.
And then the fact that it eventually came out
that I, that when that thing aired and my character
as does Adams, you know, punches baby Yoda?
Yes, I was gonna talk about this.
That hasn't come up yet.
I don't think, they don't know that yet but...
Let's talk about this.
The entire internet came down on top of you
because your character, you as the stormtrooper,
you punch baby Yoda, we have that scene right now.
Let's take a look
Waiting confirmation, knock it off.
And there you go.
There, it was.
What else, did you improvise that?
Please tell me that...
No, yeah, I wish.
(laughter)
You do when you see your baby Yoda.
No, no, no.
Exactly, it just all off on The Great Santini style,
knowing like the craziest thing about that is,
you know, I did this thing months earlier and it was,
you know, one afternoon,
you know, again, truly dream come true,
dressing up like that, doing it, oh, just coming down
and then went away and then did a hundred and other things,
you know, writing the Ted Lasso show,
shooting the Ted Lasso, all this stuff,
you know, life goes on.
And then they rolled those episodes out,
you know, one at a time and Otis and I were sitting in here,
you know, playing video games or something.
I forget on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
And Olivia comes in with her phone and she goes,
hey, you're trending on Twitter.
And I was like, oh, how about that?
And I don't, I'm not on Twitter, like actively in that way.
And so immediately it was like, wait, why?
You know, in today's age, it's like, wait, am I dead?
Did I die?
Am I cancelled?
What happened?
And it was that I was being cancelled in real time
that it was like, you hit baby Yoda?
And I had like that moment,
like the end of sixth sense or red tattoo,
you know I'm just like, oh right.
I should have been able to anticipate two
and a half months earlier when baby Yoda
became like the belle of the ball,
you know, on the internet and everything,
everybody talking about it didn't even it didn't even,
I totally forgot that.
Oh yeah, I backhand this little...
You haul off and you really wail on baby Yoda
and it's, that's a career,
I think that's a career killer, I'm sorry.
You would think, you would think,
but because you couldn't see my face because people,
you know, I can always say that it was,
you know, that they manipulated that.
I didn't know they were going to do that.
CGI. I've had some.
CGI, your arm.
(Jude laughs)
That's exactly, it's like, I'll be damned.
How did that happen?
Yeah, so I'm still dealing with it.
I, but I, but you know,
I know what Jim Gavin has gone through.
I get it, I get it.
