STEPHEN MERCHANT Drifted Out to Sea

[@TriPawrus]

So pleased this randomly appeared on my YT recommended feed. What an excellent interview/chat. I'm a huge fan of Stephen's, and come from the same neck of the woods and love hearing his tales which have a warm, comfortable familiarity about them. Great premise for a podcast too. ❤

[@shady1kenobi]

I fall asleep every night to the ricky gervais show... huge fan of seth/family trips. this is worlds colliding - in the best way possible. thanks for making this one a video pod!

[@DeadeyeJedi85]

I did that for a long time, too! You've gotta find the right ones that control the volume of Ricky's laugh, though, or it'll keep waking you up 😅

[@Pippapotamus24]

omg SAME!!!

[@karenanderson5218]

I love being able to see you guys doing your podcast.

[@barbaracasler1858]

What a great episode. So much heart, kindness, fun, laughter❤️

[@gal1885]

I remember Seth saying in one of the earliest episodes that Larry Meyers would walk around the house humming the theme song and I had only heard it once or twice at that point and I was like what? It’s not even that catchy? And now a couple dozens of episodes later, here I am in the grocery store just like FaAaaamily Trips….with the Meeeeeeyyyyyers Brothers 😂😂😂😂

[@sarahbabcock8188]

Really enjoyed this episode !! Merchant is insanely talented and down to earth. Very much enjoying his show The Outlaws!

[@k.h.huntinghouse4690]

It is so frustrating that more people are not watching/listening to this awesome podcast. What is wrong with people? This is such a fun program and they get great guests. I dont understand why it is not more popular.

[@tristyevely3798]

Going now to look up if Bill Hader has a movie coming out soon and then hopefully he will be on this podcast. 😊 Update: He will be in the Cat in the Hat in 2026. Too bad they couldn't get him on for the end of Barry. He probably did Seth's show.

[@hamiljohn]

Always amazing to see Mr. Merchant!

[@DNTXPCTMCH]

My husband and I would watch an animated version of Stephen's podcast with Ricky before podcasts were popular. I adore Stephen's humor and point of view. Thank you for this conversation. Where did Karl Pulkington go?

[@PopeLando]

Loved that John Cleese story at 01:00:00 . It's so great when fans find out their idols are fans of *them* ! I thought the end of the Stonehenge story was that Stephen had given Christopher Walken a leg-up so that he could stand on the top for a better view.

[@voice_of_a_little_lady]

Oh man, I forgot about Merchant. "Hello Ladies" should have got a season 2.

[@ruthlewis5311]

Did you see the movie?

[@guksack]

18:10 As a Bristolian myself, I was once asked by an American family if I was in London all the time what with it being 3 hours away. I love London but I could probably count on both hands how many times I've visited the place!

[@gal1885]

He’s hilarious…the camera having 10 pics of the other family 😂😂😂

[@xSKlPS]

He's like a bit of weird art

[@deborahkemp1307]

Delightful - Uber talented Merchant. Eagerly await Larry's recounting of trip to Turks

[@jinstinky501]

Im here for Merchant. :)

[@Pippapotamus24]

Ok, Stephen completely understood the assignment! Great episode!

[@md-s7221]

OMG I think i stayed at that Devonshire farm that Stephen was talking about. I was an Au Pair who worked for a family in England. We went on holiday to this farm and I remember being shocked that the English would think a vacation included staying at a farm that smelled so badly of shit. I was so happy when we could go to the ocean to get away from the smell.

[@ruthlewis5311]

As an American with English parents whose honeymoon was camping on a farm in Wales, I can confidently say as a people, the English definitely have a different standard of what defines fun and relaxing.

"🎶 It's been seven hours and🎶- my dad was mad" 😂

[@flyinv3663]

"One sister?" Is it the Greta girl!?! Kidding. I really enjoyed watching your Guys' reaction when Stephen shared what his dad said after the helicopter ride.

[@lydiacox5999]

I like that they do a little chat just the two of them at the top. Because I like hearing the two of them chat about their lives or whatever, but obviously that’s not the premise of the podcast lol. But I’m glad we get a couple minutes at the top because I started listening to this podcast for the two of them and I like how they interact with the guests, but I’m not here for them to be honest

[@lynnturman8157]

Me and the misses went on a cruise last summer & I think we saw him.

[@creepycraig73]

I still want a supercut of Darth Vader with a Bristol accent.

[@taitoradephx]

No Josh song at the end?!?

[@-laydeeintrigue-]

I think they only do that for the audio podcast unfortunately.

[@flyinv3663]

ALL RIGHT! Very good, Boys! Some visuals. It's just, hmm, it's just better for to keep my attention on what's happening with what I'm listening to. Short attention span? Adult a-d- something, something? Anyways, thank.

[@samanthab1923]

I’m the same way. Love David Spade but don’t watch his show with Dana because it’s not filmed.

[@thomaspynchon2871]

MECHANT.

[@OakleyMoodie]

The very fact that you can dangle your legs into the Grand Canyon , makes it a GRAND Canyon. being honest i only did the North Rim and hike down and slept on a precarious step there in.

[@rhysdrakefordbennett6818]

Albino watching this

[@rpratt-ede5921]

My favorite! So funny!

[@teresasavi8821]

From NPR 2/2/2024: GUO: That barge was headed for Cape Canaveral. Skip and his crew have rescued a key component of the Space Shuttle - that iconic orange fuel tank. A few hours later, Skip's on a conference call with his bosses. And they point out that, according to a maritime law that goes all the way back to the ancient Greeks, Skip and his crew are entitled to a reward. They tell him... STRONG: Congratulations, Captain Strong. You now have salvage rights to everything behind you. GUO: Salvage rights - Skip had forgotten about the ancient law of salvage, which says that, if you rescue a ship from danger at sea, you get a reward based on the value of the stuff you saved. In this case, Skip and his crew had rescued a multimillion-dollar piece of the Space Shuttle. STRONG: My reaction at that point in time was, holy [expletive]. Yeah, oh, salvage.

[@danielrasmussen2167]

Delightful

[@scottmansfield4038]

🎉

[@LordOfElderon]

there's this thing in it...

[@hatkevtonin]

Gotta get Fred Guinness on the phone, stat!

[@jarl4206]

Get Stephen a spray tan and he could pass for Josh on zoom.

[@franciscaott4385]

Seth's wedding band is unusually large 🤔 I'm distracted by it 😅

[@lydiacox5999]

Absolutely take your shoes off. Some unspoken rules to live by, wait like 10 minutes into the movie, post ad-break especially if you’re in the companion seat (doy, you goofy goofy guy), and it’s better to have shoes that come on and off quickly

[@lydiacox5999]

And no stinky feet obv. You can only take your shoes off in a theatre if you washed them with soap daily and wear a fresh pair of socks each day.

[@expectationlost]

Does Stephen not know he is camera? why is he chewing gum?

[@Oreztar]

Why wouldnt he? Is there some rule on that I've missed?
