Elizabeth Banks shares wild family travel stories and discusses her new show on Peacock.

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome Elizabeth Banks! Elizabeth chats all about growing up in Western Massachusetts in a big Irish Catholic family, what she learned from her Finding Your Roots results, and why she changed her name. She also shares some truly wild family travel stories, from being tossed off a train into a snowbank to accidentally leaving her sister at a Mass Pike rest stop, plus a chaotic Canada trip involving Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, and more. Elizabeth also talks about her love of trains and card games, learning Mahjong, and what it’s like raising two close-in-age sons. Plus, she discusses her new Peacock show The Miniature Wife!
