“We dress them up like turkeys and they come in here, and we film them for like five minutes, and then we edit together a video of them dressed as turkeys,” he said. “Now at some point, the kids are gonna realize they don’t want to do this anymore, but right now, they’re still very excited about the turkey clip."

“We don’t know when the turkeys are gonna stop happening,” he continued. “I enjoy every moment of the turkeys, because it’s very fleeting. Like a turkey’s life, you never know when it might just come to an end.”

Meyers quipped that last year’s segment was even better, largely because Adelaide was another year older.

“Last year Addie was just 1-year-old. She was rolling around,” he explained. “She wasn’t bringing a lot of fastball to the game. Everything’s changed.”
