-Congratulations on your St. Louis Blues.
-Congratulations to the Blues. [ Cheers and applause ]
-And you were actually supposed to be on our show last night,
and you asked us to move so you could go to game seven.
-Yes, thank you for switching me around.
-Of course, I was so happy you got to be there.
This is an organization that has never won a Stanley Cup.
-Never. And they went from worst to first.
They were the worst team in the NHL
in the beginning of January, and last night,
they won the Stanley Cup in Boston.
-So that was an interesting thing.
'Cause did you go to game six in St. Louis?
-I didn't. -You didn't?
-And so there were a lot of, sort of, famous St. Louis fans.
Some celebrities who like the team,
but you were the only one who showed up to Boston.
-I was, yeah. It was me.
I was the chump that showed up.
It's black and yellow everywhere at the Garden,
and here I am wearing this jersey.
I'm like, "Hey, everybody!"
-Not a historically welcoming fan base, the people of Boston.
-No, and I literally, truly thought
I was gonna get beaten up. Yes.
So, what I found was, that people either wanted
to give me the finger or take a selfie.
That was the pendulum swinging back and forth.
But ultimately, inside the Garden,
I gotta tell you something -- people were really cool.
And then, about midway through the second period,
I felt the energy start to shift.
-Yeah. -And there was no one to blame
but me and my friend Fred, basically,
who were wearing the Blues uniforms.
So it got a little -- I was like,
"Just let's bring it down. Let's not cheer so loud."
-Gotcha.
-People were super cool, though, ultimately.
-Did anybody yell anything that felt very Boston to you?
-Yeah, they were just like, "You'll never be a legend!"
[ Laughter ]
-So great. -"I know. You're right."
-That is so -- -I mean, it's true.
All right. And then they were like,
they actually -- the people behind me,
truly wanted to rip Bennington limb from limb.
-Yes, that's the sort of otherworldly goalie.
IS this Pat Muldoon, here? -That's Pat Maroon.
-Maroon, sorry, excuse me. -He's also from St. Louis.
-So, yeah, and he played for Edmonton.
-He played for Edmonton. I was sitting next to him
on a plane a couple years ago.
He was like, "Hey, I play hockey.
I'm from St. Louis."
And now he's on the Blues, and he's a real hometown hero.
I love the guy.
That was on the ice after the game.
It was so exciting.
I'm still so high from this thing.
-You were back in town in Thanksgiving
when they were not a good hockey team.
-Yes! We kind of partied with the Blues.
I ran into them in a bar after a loss.
They had lost and I guess were partying after the game,
and people on social media were like,
"Why are you guys partying? You're horrible.
Like, what are you doing?"
-And then it turned around. It all worked.
Sometimes, it's just helpful to be together.
I want to congratulate you on this, as well.
10-year anniversary of "Watch What Happens."
-Thank you very much. [ Cheers and applause ]
Things are cool.
-It is a show that I always have the best time doing.
I don't think I'm alone.
I think you make it a very fun place for guests to be.
What do you have planned for this week of shows?
-We're going to be on at 10:00 for two weeks,
which is super fun for me,
because I get to do everything earlier.
And we got a lot of big surprises,
and it's insane looking back and seeing, like, "Did that happen?"
I can't believe it. We have --
The Countess Luann is gonna perform her new song
on the show. -Wow!
We've been trying to get her to do the song here.
-I know. Jimmy, too. Sorry.
[ Laughter ]
-Most importantly, as we are going through the list
of things to congratulate you for.
You're about to have your first Father's Day as a dad.
-I am! Yes, I am.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Look at this little guy.
-There he is. -4 months old.
-So cute. Yeah, it's amazing.
That's my son, Ben. -Ben.
And how's it changed so far?
-Everything has changed. I mean, everything has changed.
It's amazing. He's a little love bug.
Besides all of the love, the gear, dude.
-Oh, man. -Oh, my God.
-The gear. -It's like, no,
that's an adapter for that.
And then you need that to do that.
It's absolutely insane.
And I've got -- I used to be Mr. Summer.
I don't know if you knew that about me.
-Yeah, you were Mr. Summer. You were a summer guy.
-I was a mobile unit, I could go anywhere, light as a feather.
Flip-flops, maybe bring my dog, maybe not,
had a convertible. Like, wow, now --
I was in the market to get an SUV to schlep all the stuff.
-Yeah. -I'm like, "Wow,
I'm so weighted down," and it happened
when I was partnering with "Autotrader," which is cool,
which is the leading resource for every kind of car.
And they helped me find an SUV, and I kept looking.
They have this list of the best new cars of 2019.
I keep looking at the -- I keep looking at the convertibles.
-Oh, yeah, they don't want you to have that.
-No, I am going to the SUV. I got an SUV.
I'm a soccer mom. I'm a soccer mom.
-Well, people keep telling me, like,
"Don't look away from minivans."
Like, don't sleep on minivans.
-Oh, right, no. I hear they're the best.
-So I got a friend who used to be cool as [bleep]
He's like, "Dude, you need a minivan."
And I'm like -- [ Laughter ]
-But you said, he used to be cool as [bleep]
-Yeah, no, I'm not -- I'm like --
But he still thinks it's cool.
He's driving around -- I mean, I guess you let
that part of the brain die that judges it,
and then you just rock around in a minivan.
How are you, like, getting the stroller collapsed?
Are you good at it? -Starting to be better.
We flew to L.A. two weeks ago for the week,
and flying with the gear and taking the elevator up
instead of the escalator,
I'm like, here, I can just tilt it on the escalator.
They're like, "No, you can't actually do that with him."
Yeah. [ Light laughter ]
-It sounds like you're going really well.
It does sound like you're going well.
-I'm really depressed.
I was excited about Father's Day a while ago.
-You should be.
It is the greatest joy in the world.
Thanks so much for being here, man.
Congratulations.
