  • Hey, Adam.

  • Hi.

  • You are cute as can be.

  • You're cute as can be.

  • You're just adorable.

  • Are you're letting your hair grow?

  • Yeah, just in the middle.

  • Just in the middle?

  • I'm just letting it grow in the middle.

  • I wish that I had let it grow everywhere because then it's

  • be long by now.

  • But it's just the center strip is just long.

  • If you lift that up, how tall is that?

  • Very.

  • And it gets really sketchy looking sometimes.

  • Like this morning, for example, I woke up

  • and my kids were standing there staring at my head.

  • Because they're like, what's wrong with you?

  • It was like a total chicken head, like cockatoo vibe.

  • Yeah, your hair is always-- you always

  • are doing something different with your hair.

  • I like that.

  • You're always changing it up.

  • It's fun, you know?

  • Yeah.

  • I still have it.

  • I'm really happy I still have hair,

  • so I'm just so excited about it.

  • I'm like, let's do something crazy.

  • It's good.

  • I like it.

  • Thanks.

  • So your friend, Jake Gyllenhaal, came on.

  • I'm sorry, who?

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Came on and mentioned to me that you had not seen

  • my stand-up special on Netflix.

  • Yeah.

  • And so I called you out on that and--

  • That was awesome.

  • That was awesome.

  • Awesome that that's what he did, too.

  • Thank you, Jake.

  • Appreciate it, if you're out there.

  • You had time in between then.

  • Because he was telling you how much he loved it

  • and in all that time, you didn't watch it

  • and told him to tell me that you did.

  • OK, well.

  • That's not entirely true.

  • I like to be truthful with you because you're my friend.

  • Yes.

  • Friends watch each other's stuff.

  • Yeah.

  • They do.

  • OK.

  • You really want to hear our story?

  • So Jake wanted me to tell you, he wanted me to email you.

  • This is how this whole thing started, OK?

  • He said, hey, do you have Ellen's email?

  • I want to tell her how much I love her special.

  • And I'm like, yeah, no.

  • I can't do that because then she'll

  • know that I haven't seen it yet and then I'll

  • get in trouble indirectly by association.

  • So I can't give you that email address yet until I watch it.

  • That's how this whole thing started.

  • And how long ago was that?

  • It was a while back.

  • Yeah, right.

  • It was a while back.

  • And then, you know, he came on the show

  • and he threw me under the bus and the story morphed

  • into all this different stuff.

  • And you know what?

  • That's not the truth.

  • Yeah.

  • This is where you're going to get the truth, right now.

  • I didn't watch it, but then I did

  • and I thought it was delightful.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • I'm just giving you a hard time.

  • But listen--

  • I can take it.

  • I know you can take it.

  • We really are friends.

  • And it's amazing you are sort of responsible for Portia

  • and I getting together.

  • She wears a sweater around the house

  • all the time that you gave me on like your second appearance

  • here.

  • And then we ended up buying your house.

  • We live in your house.

  • I know.

  • By the way--

  • Can I come over?

  • --we found these.

  • Oh, wow.

  • [CHEERING]

  • Yeah.

  • These aren't mine.

  • These are not mine.

  • Yeah, these look familiar.

  • They were there.

  • Yeah.

  • But yeah, so we live in your house now

  • and you'll see it next week.

  • You're coming over next week.

  • I am coming over next week.

  • But it's a funny story because we were not in the market

  • to buy that house at all, and you

  • convinced us to buy the house.

  • And now we live in your house.

  • I know, and I'm really happy because I love that house,

  • so now I get to go over and hang out there.

  • And hang out in your house.

  • I'll be like the guy that's there way too often.

  • If only you'd pay the mortgage once in a while with us.

  • I'll chip in.

  • So you're not on The Voice anymore.

  • This is the first time in 10 years

  • that you're here not talking about being on The Voice.

  • I know.

  • And is it something you miss, or how do you feel?

  • You know, I really do miss it.

  • I love the people that I met and worked with,

  • and obviously we all know how I feel about Blake.

  • Oh, yeah, that guy.

  • And, I do miss it but I also don't

  • miss how much I had to work.

  • I was just constantly working for so many years.

  • Very lucky, very fortunate, very blessed and all that.

  • But just to be able to kind of stop

  • in this moment to spend time with my new young family

  • and just have the greatest time ever.

  • Now I'm just like a stay-at-home dad.

  • I just stay home and do very little.

  • And you're a very hands-on dad, too.

  • Your daughters, you always, on a Sunday,

  • you take them out to breakfast and you're always

  • doing something with your kids.

  • I think that's great.

  • And you're home a lot, you're writing you're

  • working more on your music.

  • That's us.

  • Those babies are so precious.

  • I'm obsessed with them.

  • I mean, I know that's a good thing

  • because they're my children.

  • Yes.

  • That's why I don't do much because I love hanging--

  • I mean, like I genuinely just adore them in a way

  • that I never knew I could adore any little person.

  • It's really sweet.

  • I mean, the pictures, they need to stop.

  • But the pictures you send, they're so--

  • So the song that you're going to do today is a beautiful song.

  • You sent it to me a few months ago and it's called Memories.

  • But tell everybody what it's about.

  • It's a heavy song it kind of came

  • to me-- this incredible guy came to me with the song

  • and there were holes in it, it was unfinished.

  • But it was definitely about what it

  • was going to be about already, which is loss

  • and experiencing and suffering loss, which all of us

  • share that in common.

  • I had just gone through losing my manager and my best friend.

  • I was in diapers with this guy, and he passed away recently.

  • And so this song came to me at a very interesting time.

  • I filled in the holes with the proper words

  • that I thought would match the experience that I

  • had been going through.

  • And so this is very, heavy.

  • I never had a song about anything quite like this.

  • And I miss him every day.

  • And this is, to me, the best way to tribute--

  • the best possible way to tribute him.

  • Yeah, he was 40 years old, which is way too young,

  • and he was the first, really, friend that you lost and you're

  • very emotional.

  • When you sent me the song, you told me how personal this was.

  • And so even performing it today, even in rehearsal,

  • it's emotional for you.

  • So I'm so glad you're here doing it.

  • And I'm happy to be doing it here with you

  • because that feels like the right place.

  • Yeah.

  • And you should wear these when you do it.

  • OK.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • All right.

Hey, Adam.
