  • -Guys, since we're back at home,

  • I thought it would be fun to do another installment

  • of "Ask the Fallons."

  • This where my wife Nancy and I

  • answer questions that you guys send in.

  • It could be about us or the kids or life or anything.

  • So here's another "Ask the Fallons."

  • -♪ Ask the Fallons, Ask the Fallons

  • -Okay. Well, we're back.

  • -Yeah. -It's been one year. [ Laughs ]

  • -It's been a year. -I thought I was out.

  • [ Laughs ]

  • I totally did my civic showbiz duty.

  • -Honey. -And yet here I am again.

  • -Did I publicly thank you?

  • -A year later in the same coat. -I don't know if I did.

  • -Alright, we have a bunch of questions

  • from everyone who watches the show.

  • And people really like this bit that we did

  • where it's us just walking around and talking.

  • Alright. Here's one of these.

  • This is interesting. -Okay.

  • -Who said "I love you" first? Where and when did it happen?

  • Do you want to plug your ears and I'll tell my version?

  • -No, no. Oh, yeah. I wonder if our version is the same.

  • -We kind of do this on the show with other --

  • So maybe plug your ears, and I'll say it real quick.

  • -Okay. -And maybe hum something.

  • -Oh, I see. ♪ La, la, la, la, la

  • -Alright, I said "I love you" in London.

  • We were a press thing for "Fever Pitch."

  • Nancy's a producer.

  • We just would hang out in the hotel all the time,

  • listen to music, Harry Nelson, Randy Newman.

  • And I put on "Taxi," which is my favorite show.

  • -New fence! -And I made her watch this show

  • about their dreams or something, and it was just good.

  • And then we kissed.

  • We were in my hotel room, we kissed for the first time,

  • and it was honestly

  • the best kiss I've ever had in my life.

  • And I think I said "I love you" after that.

  • Alright. That's my story. Honey, I'm done.

  • [ Clears throat ] I'm done, hon.

  • -Okay. -Alright.

  • Who said -- -Who said "I love you"? He did.

  • And we had been having big crushes on each other

  • during "Fever Pitch."

  • And like two awesome nerds, we didn't do anything about it

  • but flirt a lot and listen to a lot of music

  • and say, like, good night at 4:00 in the morning

  • like total nerd balls.

  • -I'm a pretty smooth dude.

  • -Okay.

  • So we wrapped the movie, "Fever Pitch,"

  • and we were going to London to sell it,

  • and we went out one really fun night

  • and, um, we ended up -- - -Halloween, wasn't it?

  • -No, that was in London. That was our first kiss.

  • But our first "I love you" was in London.

  • And I had to leave the next day.

  • I was there for the press junket, and then I had to leave,

  • and I think you all were going somewhere.

  • But that night, he said, "I love you.

  • I'm in love with you."

  • And I don't even know if I said it back

  • because I think you knew that I loved you.

  • So I think that then -- -Wow.

  • -Well, maybe I did, but I don't think it was like,

  • "I love you, I love you, I love you."

  • You were like, "I love you."

  • And then I flew home the next day,

  • and I will never forget that flight.

  • I had to go back to California.

  • And you know that feeling when you're just smiling ear to ear

  • and it's just the best feeling in the world

  • when you, like, love someone and they love you

  • and you have a crush and it's reciprocated?

  • And...that's my memory.

  • And then I feel like from there --

  • -I told the wrong story. -[ Laughs ]

  • -I thought it was first kiss. I confused the two.

  • -[ Gasps ] Oh, no. First kiss, Boston.

  • Yeah. Oh! When we levitated?

  • -That was a good kiss.

  • -That was the best kiss I've ever had.

  • So that was two stories -- an "I love you" --

  • -Yeah. You got two stories out of that one.

  • -Yeah. And yeah.

  • -I don't know what story you got.

  • That was the "I love you" story.

  • [ Geese honking ]

  • -Hi, guys.

  • -Wow.

  • -I just wanted to thank you for doing these walks and talks.

  • And I want to thank everyone who's watching for enjoying --

  • -Yeah. We should really thank them.

  • [ Laughs ]

  • -Yeah.

  • Really.

  • This is -- it's been fun.

  • -It has been fun.

  • A little glimpse into...

  • -Yeah. -...Jimmy and his wife.

  • -Love you, cutie. -I love you.

  • You're welcome. -Alright, do you want another?

  • [ Chuckles ]

  • Did you throw in a little "You're welcome" there?

  • -Yeah! Just said, "You're welcome."

  • -That's what she does every time we kiss.

  • She says, "You're welcome." -No! You said thank you.

  • [ Laughs ] That would be so good.

  • -That's the way our relationship is.

  • -Oh, my God. You're welcome.

  • "Honey, I love you." "You're welcome."

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • -Alright, you want to do another question?

  • -Yeah.

  • -What's your go-to recipe for a night in?

  • Ready? One, two, three.

  • -Takeout. -Takeout.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • Did Nancy's family accept Jimmy immediately?

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • No, no. Of course. I'm laughing.

  • -I didn't get to the end. -Our New Hampshire weekend.

  • -It was honestly --

  • -We had a "meet the parents" weekend.

  • -My parents came to visit Nancy's parents

  • for the first time in New Hampshire.

  • -It was the first meeting of everybody.

  • -Couldn't have been a bigger disaster.

  • -We decided not to do a dinner.

  • "Why don't we do an entire weekend together?"

  • [ Laughs ]

  • Because what could go wrong there?

  • There's not a story that could go wrong.

  • -The night before, my mother calls me and she goes,

  • "Jimmy, don't hang up."

  • That's the signal for,

  • "You're gonna get angry at what I'm about to say."

  • I go, "What do you mean? Hi, Mom. How are you?

  • First of all, hi."

  • "Alright, don't hang up." I go, "I heard you."

  • She goes, "Mm-kay, not a big deal,

  • but Daddy's tooth

  • fell out today," or last night or something.

  • "His front tooth fell out."

  • I go, "His front tooth?"

  • -Front. Not a back or anything that you could hide.

  • -I go, "Go to the dentist. Get a cap or get something."

  • She goes, "The dentist is on vacation."

  • I go, "This is a di-- You can't come meet --

  • This is Nancy's family.

  • You can't meet them with no teeth."

  • She goes, "It's fine. Daddy's just not gonna smile."

  • -He just won't smile. [ Laughs ]

  • -"Not gonna smile? What are you talking about?

  • This is a weekend."

  • I go, "I'm hanging up," I was that mad.

  • She goes, "Well, don't hang up. Wait, wait, one more thing.

  • I rubbed my eye in my sleep last night,

  • and I have a bloody eye."

  • I go, "You've got to be kidding me."

  • So here, meet my parents, a pirate and a Jack-O-Lantern.

  • -Yeah. -My mom would be laughing.

  • She would be laughing. -Oh, she would be laughing so --

  • Are you kidding? This is the best story ever.

  • -Exactly. She loved it.

  • So, it was probably April, March.

  • It was -- The lake was just done --

  • -The ice was out, but it was very cold.

  • -My dad goes, "I'm gonna jump in the lake," to be funny.

  • -Yeah. -Anyway, so we go,

  • "Alright, let's get ready. We're gonna go out to dinner."

  • So we're getting ready to go out for dinner.

  • Mind you, my mom had bad knees, and she could --

  • -Kind of not bend ankle or knee, really, in a way.

  • -I don't know if her knee's bad or her ankles.

  • Nothing quite -- It was very interesting, how she walked.

  • So anyways, we were upstairs, getting ready for dinner,

  • and there's a knock on the door where we were getting ready,

  • and I go, "It can't be.

  • It can't be my mom because" --

  • -She couldn't get up those stairs, right?

  • -There's no way.

  • So she comes up the stairs, and we kind of smell smoke.

  • -Uh-huh. As we open the door, we smell.

  • -We open the door, smell smoke, she goes,

  • "Everything's fine." -"Don't worry."

  • -"Everything's fine."

  • I go, "What's going on? What's happening?"

  • She goes, "Daddy jumped in the lake with all his money."

  • -A wad of...

  • -20s. -...I don't know, fives?

  • -$20 bills. I think it was $500, maybe, or $200.

  • -Just a wad. -$500 of $20 bills.

  • She goes, "And so his money got wet."

  • And so he tried to dry his money.

  • My dad put $500 in the microwave...

  • -In our microwave.

  • -..and lit the money on fire.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • This is one story.

  • -And this is just a reminder. -An old lake house.

  • -The old family --

  • It's not valuable, but it is invaluable to the hearts.

  • [ Laughs ]

  • -I go down, there's $20 bills laid all over the kitchen

  • with brown burnt spots.

  • I go, "Dad, what --"

  • He's like, "I didn't realize,

  • I thought you could dry the money."

  • I go...

  • There's metal in $20 bills, apparently, like a strip.

  • -Just FYI -- don't put money in the microwave.

  • -Honey, that's one story, but --

  • -That was one of a few. -You still married me.

  • -Yes, we weren't married, were we?

  • Yeah, no, that's -- Aww! -You're so lucky.

  • -I'm so lucky. -Mwah! You're welcome.

  • Mwah! You're welcome.

  • [ Both laugh ]

  • Mwah! You're welcome. -Mwah! You are welcome, honey.

  • -Thank you so much for those questions, you guys.

-Guys, since we're back at home,
