Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

I've got a personal favorite for you today with superstar stand up comedian Jim Gaffigan,

one of the funniest people walking this earth right now.

And part of the reason I love this podcast and our Sunday Sit Down that you can watch

on NBC as well is that there was no reason for it.

He doesn't really have a movie coming out today.

He doesn't really have a stand up special that begins streaming.

There's no book to talk about.

It's just that we kind of live near each other and he has taken up cross country skiing,

something he has railed against in his stand up act in the past.

During this pandemic, he's got his family up outside of New York City where they typically

live for the last year or so to spread out and have some more space.

His wonderful wife, Jeannie, and their five children living up in Westchester County,

which is north of New York City.

And he decided to take up cross country skiing.

I asked him why, despite the fact he's claimed he doesn't like it.

And as you'll hear him explain, it's because it gets him away from his family that no one

else wants to go cross country skiing.

So he bought the skis.

He's been doing it up in this park and he said, hey, why don't you and I go for a cross

country ski and then we can just sit and talk.
