- Hi, this is 7 Minutes in Heaven with Mike O'Brien.
I'm here today with Ty Burrell.
Welcome, thanks for coming.
- Thank you for having me in your closet.
- So, you're on Modern Family.
- I am.
- It's a sitcom about unconventional families.
- Mm hmm.
- So, you're playing a white dad married to a white woman.
So, how'd you prepare for that sort of jump?
- You know how like some actors will follow cops?
- Yeah.
- You know?
- You followed a dad?
- Yeah, I followed a white dad.
- Alright, let's do a little closet theater.
I thought we could be two guys who laugh at everything
each other says.
Like, we're brothers.
- Okay, okay.
- But the very sound of our laughter
once we get into that reminds us of our dad
who is a professional clown that passed away.
- Hey man, what are you getting shorter
every time I see you?
(laughing)
- Oh man.
- Oh god.
- Hey, you're one to talk.
I mean, that waistline is expanding.
(laughing)
- Honk,
honk.
Well, I guess I'll see you later.
Not if I see you.
- [Together] First.
(laughing)
- What's the edgiest part of the adoption process?
- I think it's when you have to battle a motorcycle gang.
You have to battle your way through a motorcycle gang.
- That's part of it?
- They put a baby on a pedestal.
- Okay.
- And then there's like a bunch of like Hell's Angels
who are like, hey, and they have chains.
- No one knows about this.
- And they have bats and stuff.
And you go like, oh and you're like oh no.
And then you're all uh and you're like uh boom.
And then you get your baby.
- It's so edgy.
Please say which of the following adjectives
applies to you.
A thunderstorm in the bedroom.

- That's the best.
- Wow.

- Well manicured.
Of course, not me.
- I may be going to a different.
- A different--
- I'm going to a different place, yeah.
Curious about your prostate.
- Uh, no.
No.
- You don't care either way about that
dumb *** part of your body.
- I don't know why it can be large or small or anything.
- Right.
- Nothing else, like my shoulder doesn't get
bigger or smaller, you know what I mean?
- Right, right, well, I'm 55 now so my shoulder's real big
just one will random.
- I really just should probably go check it.
It's probably time to go check my shoulder.
- But the doctor's still gotta put his finger
in your butt to check your shoulder.
(laughing)
- Yep, you're good.
- When's the last time you saw A Few Good Men?
- It's been a long time so I don't really know any of the--
- Me too.
This closet theater, we're gonna try to do
that courtroom scene.
I'll be Tom Cruise if you can be Jack Nicholson.

- No.
Colonel Jessup.
- Ha ha.
- Were you?
- You, go ahead, boy.
- Why would Santiago have packed his bag,
but not packed his--
- You need me on that wall.
- Did you order the code red?
- You want the truth?
- I want the truth.
- Do you want the truth?
- Yeah, man.
- You can't handle the truth!
(cheering)
- Well, I'm super glad you were able to come
hang out in the closet.
And I love Modern Family.
- Oh, that's awesome, thanks.
- I think you're the best character on it
by like a mile.
- Wow.
- By a mile.
No, I'm just kidding.
I hate when people do that.
So, thanks for joining me.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, man.
- Thanks a lot.
