I like the casual attire Seth and some of his guests are adopting. It feels more intimate, like they are talking with us instead of at us. Save the suits for court and board meetings.

[@Ahzpayne]

Never trust anyone dressed in a suit and tie. They're trying to shorthand you into trusting them.

[@ferretsnot]

@@Ahzpayne Rule of Aquisition #47: Never trust a man wearing a better suit than you own

[@jessicam3676]

I think it was an interview with John Oliver on Stephen Colbert and J.O. flat out said he will not wear a suit on Seth’s show. The host doesn’t dress up, so why should he put in any effort.

A great scene from 30 Rock was when Tina Fey asked Alec Baldwin "Why are you wearing a tux?!" -- Alec Baldwin: "It's after 6, what am I, a farmer?"

An Asian restaurant in Toronto told us we were ordering too much food and told us how much we needed. They were right. We thanked them.

[@73brook]

Are you American? I'm from Toronto and couldn't imagine how much food you'd have to order to be told this haha

[@1newbert]

@@73brook yes, but in our defense, there were 4 of us and we were planning on sharing. We thought we were ordering a nice sampling, but our waitress quickly realized we didn’t know how much food we were ordering.

That would happen in France. Not at a restaurant, but at grocery stores.

[@snowstrobe]

An Aussie runner in the 90s named Matt Shirvington became a bit of a sensation when he not only broke the Aust 100m record but did so in a tight but not supportive suit which meant his junk was flopping side to side. The slow mothion footage got a LOT of attention at the time.

[@milnez]

Matt Shirvington, the lunch box 😂😂😂

[@ginao6810]

Oh I remember that yellow suit 😵 He was a good looking fellow, too.

[@nathangee7075]

I remember when the "shirvo" briefly entered the Aussie lexicon.

[@alex-top]

I just like Dax so much I literally smiled throughout the entire interview. Just because 😂

[@YearsinSeason]

From here on out it’s imperative that someone from the staff notifies whatever Seth is going to be wearing so Dax can ALWAYS wear the exact same thing.

[@gened9632]

When I lived in Tokyo, I went to this great Italian Restaurant with the best lasagna I've ever had. When I would order it, the waitress would always say "One order for two people". I'd politely correct her and say: "I'm American, one order, one person". I would then proceed to punish that lasagna like a fat kid. I miss that place.

As an adopted and accidental Viking, can I just say that it isn't the amount of food ordered, its the amount of food that gets WASTED. We have this inherent repulsion to waste.

Dax is looking good! Him and Seth are funny together.

[@coolcat8b]

Dax is so adorable in his plaid shirt made for rich people. As a Quebecer, naturally born into plaid shirts, it's my pleasure to give Dax some pointers about wearing them: - That color really suits you. 🥰 Did Kristen choose it? - They don't do that pattern on the pockets yours does, avoid those in the future. - They are worn loose, yours is stretching over yours shoulders, biceps, etc. We get it, you're buffed. Next time get the size up.

[@Tao_Tology]

This is why you don't get invited to parties.

[@t.johnson2966]

As a Canadian, I agree with your critique! Cheers 🍻

[@InfinitiCMBull]

Armchair Expert is easily my favorite podcast, I love listening to this dude

[@jkap34]

I think family trips with the Meyers brothers is my favorite, but I'm not just saying that because we're on a Seth Meyers video. It is solely because of Josh Meyers and the fact he creates a parody song for every guest that's different.

[@sailinbob11]

Dax is the “straight” guy friend that most gay guys want- so cool and embracing of male sexiness. But Dax has the privilege of showcasing it. If a gay man said the things Dax says, he would be labeled “perverted.”

[@RusTsea196T]

Amaretti should maybe only seriously compete during cold weather months

[@BexiAF]

That's what I was thinking.

[@YeeSoest]

Foreign speaker here, don't bother me, I'm just here to see the answer😅 Google says you can't and everything it shows for metal spackle is the tool you use to do it on a drywall so...let's hear the Home improvement crowd

[@bubblesezblonde]

If NBC had any brains they would run Seth's show FROM the Olympics...

[@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

I offended an Irish waitress by ordering the small breakfast (not small at all), and the female friend across the table from me ordered the large (she was hungry). In the end our waitress just couldn't figure out which of us was worse so she slammed down the plates and stormed off.

To be fair to Seth, his wardrobe for the show are the same (probably) 10 shirts in rotation. So it might just be Dax choosing to match with Seth 😂

[@franciss2985]

I have to say, Dax Shepard's podcast is among the most insufferable, faux-intellectual podcasts out there - and that's saying something. The best thing I can say about it is that he sometimes has someone on who genuinely knows what they're talking about, but unfortunately he often ruins the discussion by "devil's advocating" the guest with the intellectual prowess of a sock puppet. Or sometimes he's just outright offensive. All that in the name of appealing to the "average American"? Gimme a break....
