Jason Sudeikis' Son Knows the Grinch and the Joker, Not Santa

-How is the family? Are the kids excited for Christmas?
-Alive. Alive and well. -Yes.
-We're doing our jobs. -Yeah, you're doing your jobs.
Yeah. Are they psyched? -Yeah, I think so.
I mean, Daisy's 1. So she's psyched about food
and most things. -Anything, yeah, yeah.
She's a baby. Yeah, yeah. -But, Otis is 3 1/2, and he
understands that gifts are exchanged,
that he is going to be getting a bunch of new toys.
We're filling up a box tomorrow of all the toys
that need to go elsewhere, give them to some other kids
to make room for some stuff. -Yeah.
-But I don't think he -- he's at an age where he knows
Santa is a thing, but we can't use him as like
the great disciplinarian that Santa is for most households.
-Yeah, not yet. -No, he thinks Santa, like,
I buy the toys and Santa just -- he just thinks Santa is like
a FedEx guy. [ Laughter ]
-Delivering presents. -Delivering presents, like --
-So you order them through Santa?
-Yeah, exactly. Or he thinks Jeff Bezos is Santa,
and then Santa's like an elf, so...
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
-So it's like, you know, "hey, if you do that, you know,
"if you push your sister,
Santa's not gonna bring you what you want."
He's just like...
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
So we won't overnight it, big deal.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Yeah, exactly, right. Yeah, Priority Overnight
isn't a thing, Dad?" Oh, man. How'd you learn that?
-Has he met Santa? Have you ever --
-No, he hasn't met Santa yet.
I think that's part of the problem.
We haven't introduced him to the mythology yet.
-Yeah, you have to -- -You know, he knows the Grinch.
He knows the Joker from "Batman" in the '60s.
You know, he knows those iconic...
-Important -- -Important things, yeah.
We're -- -Every kid's gotta know
the Joker. -You know, and Jesus.
-It's all very nice. Of course, of course.
-All the biggies. In that order. Those are the three.
But then we -- [ Laughter ]
That's the Holy Trinity in our house.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Oh. -Many -- They agree.
They agree, they agree. And how's the beautiful baby?
How's Daisy? -She's good.
She's cute as pie. And she's in her -- visually, adorable.
Audibly, she's a shrieker. She shrieks.
She shrieks incessantly. In a good mood, bad mood.
She realizes that people look at her when she shrieks,
so now the shrieking is like part of her DNA, unfortunately.
-So, she's like yelling or... -Oh no, it's like a shriek.
I'm talking about like -- I mean, I can't do it,
'cause I'm a grown man, but like, I'd have to do it
on the inhale. It'd be like... [ Shrieking ]
-Really? -Do you remember the sound
Daryl Hannah made in "Splash"? -"Splash"?
-When she says her name. Anybody here over 30?
[ Laughter ]
Tom Hanks used to do comedies. -Oh, my gosh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-And so, yeah. I mean, it's awful.
And we were on a plane recently. We went on vacation.
We went to Hawaii, which is a lovely place,
and then on the plane ride home, Liv and the baby
were two rows away from me. Then there was a random duo --
a couple older ladies and then Otis and I a row ahead.
And I could hear the shrieking starting, and I knew it was
gonna keep going until she... everybody died or something.
I don't know. -Yeah.
-She's very persistent. And then -- so, but the women
behind me didn't know that I was with the people behind them.
So they're whispering and just covering their ears being like,
"oh, my God! Oh, my God!" And then one of them just looks
over to the other one, "just put something in her mouth!"
[ Laughter ] And I'm like -- I turn over.
And like, sort of look. And again -- and then I got up
and just sort of walked over and kissed my baby so they know,
oh, yeah. Quit talking trash. -Yeah, exactly.
-I can hear you. -Stick up for the baby, yeah.
-But I mean, literally people's tans were falling off,
it was so loud. [ Laughter ]
Their leis were wilting. -Man. [ Laughs ]
-You know, like a time lapse. But you know...
-Hawaiian leis -- -Oh, it was horrible.
It was horrible.
The vacation was null and void by the time we landed.
