Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers · W. KAMAU BELL Took His Mom Parasailing · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

It's funny.

So years later, we went back to the Hamas, but it was as a result of like I got booked on Jesse Thorne Maximum Fun Podcast Network.

I know that dude.

Yeah.

He had a cruise that was like – that also was like – so he had booked me on the cruise to do stand-up, and my wife was supposed to go, and she was pregnant.

So she was too pregnant to go.

And so the last minute, I was like, Mom, do you want to go?

So at the time, my mom was in her 70s.

And so I took my seven-year-old mom on her first cruise ever.

And again, it was like it was one of the greatest, most ridiculous things ever.

We're staying in those tiny cruise rooms where you wake up and you can touch both walls like this.

And took her on this cruise ship, and we got to sort of like hang out for a few days, for several days on this cruise ship while, you know, around you, everybody's getting as drunk as possible, and I'm doing stand-up comedy at night.

And one of the greatest moments I remember from that cruise trip is we were sitting at breakfast one day, and this is a classic my mom sort of thing.

She's looking out the boat, and she sees people like parasailing off the back of a speedboat.

And she's like, what?

What is that?

I was like, that's parasailing.

People do that?

Yeah, they're doing it right now.

Why would you do that?
