-You mentioned -- and I remember last summer
we were talking a fair amount. You were so excited
to be going off to New Zealand to shoot "Sweet Tooth."
Was New Zealand as wonderful as you hoped it would be?
-It's -- It is a magical place.
It's so cool. It's beautiful.
It's also very interesting.
There's a lot of volcanic activity down there.
So there are interesting things, like --
There's this place that I loved. It's called Kerosene Creek.
And it's basically a geothermally warmed river,
which is like having a hot tub mixed with a river.
So I went down there.
My friends Maclain and Claire were down there,
and Libby and I went down to this creek.
And me and my buddy Maclain
were doing slow-mo rise-ups through the water.
Just, you know, just --
It just is the coolest setting. Anyway --
-Here's a good picture, a photo
of, like, the sort of slow-motion action-movie --
Yeah. That's -- Yeah. I think we get a sense.
-Well, about 20 minutes into us
trying to get these perfect "rise out of the water" shots
in slow mo, this guy says,
[German accent] "Excuse me. Uh, I need to --
I don't think you want to be doing what you're doing."
Yeah, you're not the only one
who can do a German accent, Seth.
And we were like, "What, German tourist?
What are you talking about?"
He said, "There are
brain-eating amoebas in these waters."
And we said, "Brain -- What?!"
"Amoebas. They eat your brains."
And we're like, "Oh, okay."
So we, you know, start digging the water out of our ears
and make our way to the exit.
And he's like, "Oh, I hope I did not ruin your day."
Like, "Oh, no, no, we -- This has been great.
And thanks for waiting friggin' 20 minutes to let us know
as we're dunking our head under right in front of you."
So, we go up to the front. We're like,
"Oh, well, they've got to probably have pla--
How'd we miss the warning signs about this?"
So, we go up, and there are all these "don't litter" signs.
"Here is an appropriate place to park."
Nowhere on there is it saying,
"Warning. There's an amoeba down there
that could eat your entire brain
and leave you just, like, you know, in a puddle of flesh."
And so we thought it was a joke, but we looked it up.
It's a real thing.
It doesn't happen very often, but still, like,
I think it's at least worth a casual mention on the sign.
-Yeah, I feel like that's more than fair to ask for that.
Did you like where you ended up staying?
'Cause I assume that production decided where to put you up.
-Yes, I loved where I was staying.
We stayed in Auckland, but when we went over,
you have to quarantine for two weeks.
And we went down. You don't get to pick where you quarantine.
They just put you on a bus or a plane
and send you off to a hotel.
And we went to this place called Rotorua,
which, again, a lot of geothermal activity.
This is a place that essentially
because of all the geothermal activity,
the entire town smells like farts.
And it was like,
"Oh, these guys know my work."
[ Laughter ]
So it was --
It's really an interesting and cool town,
and you get used to that.
But it is something that your nose has to, you know,
contend with for a little bit.
-Um, hopefully, you will allow me this indulgence.
The last time you were here,
you read a scene from "MacGruber,"
the upcoming series that will be on Peacock.
Would you be so kind as to read us another piece
from this incredibly highly anticipated television event?
-I would love to. And thank you for asking.
I'm gonna put my reading glasses on because I am old.
So, this is a scene in which I'm explaining to Kristen Wiig
and Ryan Phillippe's characters, Vicki and Piper,
the importance of this mission.
It's pretty self-explanatory. There are spoilers.
So, what I have done is I've covered up the spoilers
with the word "spoiler."
Just so -- That's something to know.
Okay. Here we go.
Let me take a little...
Vodka in there.
Red vodka. Okay.
"Piper, why do you think I hid that spoiler
in a [bleep] spoiler for 20 years?
For gigs and shiggles?
No, I hid it 'cause
no government on Earth should have it.
Not even the United States of spoiler.
I mean, we're talking about a world-ender here, Piper,
and I don't know about you, but I kind of like the world.
I like sunsets. I like snow-capped mountains.
I like kicking back with a cold Molson and watching the game.
I like babies and kettle corn, monster trucks and puppy dogs,
tig ol' biddies and bunchin' mox.
I even like cancer and type II diabetes
because they remind me that life is precious.
And that's why it is imperative
that we keep this spoiler out of spoiler's hands!"
[ Laughter ]
-Well, I think I speak for everyone
when I say we are eagerly anticipating this.
Thank you, dear friend. I appreciate you making time.
-Thank you very much. And just so you know,
it's not just stuff like that.
There's tons of farts and [bleep] in it, as well.
