Starting point is 00:01:12 All right. We're gonna roast some weenies, I think they're called. Yeah. These are, by the way, handsome roasting tongs. What are they called? Spears? Tines? Skewers? Skewers? Skewers? Yeah, skewer. That's the word. Take this guy.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Okay, thank you. Thank you. Roasting some hot dogs here and we're roasting them over. I've never roasted a hot dog over a fire. You haven't? No. And you don't get a real Christmas tree? Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:41 She's roasted fake hot dogs. Now the principle, correct me if I'm wrong, a hot dog is already cooked, right? Right. So this is all, is it just aesthetic or is it for flavor? That's a good question. I guess it's just for flavor. Why is this fun for people who are listening?
Starting point is 00:01:57 Sona, you clearly don't understand what podcasts are all about. My life has been podcasting. Oh, okay. And I think people love hearing us have experiences. I think they like having a glimpse at the real life of us getting real, you know? Is this us getting real? Yeah, we're getting real.
Starting point is 00:02:18 What about, what's that? SSR, what is it when, what noises? ASMR? ASMR. ASMR. I was thinking of a supersonic jet. Yes, people may like hearing us eat a hot dog. I don't think- Might be a sensual experience. I don't think very many people like hearing others eat stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:34 No, not on my- I think they like, you know, I watched a video today of someone with long nails touching like some food. Here. Like mukbang? I'm gonna toast my bun a bit. Why are you laughing so hard? Tanisha, what did I say?
Starting point is 00:02:50 Because of the f- because it was so random? Because I took a long time to just think of the word food? That's dumb. Are you guys done already? I'm trying to cook my... I have now put the whole hot dog and bun... It's gonna catch fire. Will it?
Starting point is 00:03:04 I just want it to toast up a bit. I like a toasty bun. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm- whole hot dog and bun. It's gonna catch fire. Will it? I just want it to toast up a bit. I'm with you. I like a toasty bun. I'm with you, I wanna toast my bun. I think what I'm doing is kind of actually innovative. Let me explain. At home, I think I've taken the two prongs of the skewer
Starting point is 00:03:18 and I wedged the hot dog in between. Yes! The hot dog fell right out! Oh, yes! Couldn't have timed it better. The hot dog. Please explain what happened, sir. The hot dog slipped right into the flames
Starting point is 00:03:34 as I was congratulating myself. Oh my god, that was amazing. And you know my favorite thing is? My favorite thing is for things to go awry as someone is congratulating themselves. Yeah. It's the best. Oh, look! The rest of the bun just fell apart.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Oh my God. Do you want condiments? Yeah, I do. I'm just going to toast up the last... What's left of my bun, just going to toast that up. Oh God, I love a hot dog. I could try again. Do you guys like hot dogs?
Starting point is 00:03:58 You know what I like? Those street dogs that you can get when you're coming out of a bar or a club and they're out there with the... Oh yeah. Yeah, Eduardo Eduardo's nodding he gets it. What's the street dog? I don't know what that is. They're they're out there they have onions and they're out there. This is uh this is nice. Now I'm gonna get a little sentimental here. Oh. But what year were we in your backyard Gorley? Was that last year or two years ago? Two years ago, right? Yep. And that was nice.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And now we're in Sona's backyard, which makes me think we'll be in my backyard someday. Will you let us go there? Well, I'll have to clear it with security in the area. We're gonna have to zoom in. Whatever, I'll take care of it. This is so hard. I'll have to make calls,
Starting point is 00:04:41 because I have some pretty big deal names live in my neighborhood. And so they can't, you know, if you guys just drove in without clearance, that'd be a whole disaster. You know what I mean? Yeah. Would it? Yeah, I gotta make sure that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's cool
Starting point is 00:04:53 with you guys being in the neighborhood, you know. Chad Michael Murray. Chad Michael Murray. Saul Esposito. I guess gotta make sure that everybody knows that you're coming. He's more of a sound technician, but very well known. Do you need these? The ketchup and the mustard? Just a little mustard, please.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Oh, you want me to put it on there? Ah, fuck. Jesus. It's like you guys have never handled food before. Son, what's your problem? This is hard to do it this way. You're such a train wreck with everything. My God. No, no, just in life. I didn't mean it personally. I meant just every time you try to do anything, it's just a big mess and it's awful. Oh my god. Right there.
Starting point is 00:05:33 That's good. Thank you. Thanks Gertz. You want some ketchup? No, no, you don't do ketchup on a hot dog, that's for sure. Not on my watch. What? No, no ketchup on a hot dog.
Starting point is 00:05:41 What? That's crazy. That goes against the German tradition. Why are you guys nodding? That's not right. It is right. That's not normal. Hot dogs aren't German.
Starting point is 00:05:50 You're thinking like bratwurst. Hot dogs are American. You put ketchup on hot dogs in America, you commie. USA! USA! USA! I don't think we're in the USA right now. I think we left the American, the borders of the United States
Starting point is 00:06:04 about four hours ago. I do love it here,, the borders of the United States about four hours ago. I do love it here and I'm gonna learn, I'm gonna make it my mission to learn more about this place they call Altadena, this magical land. It's lovely out here. What are you gonna learn about? Like the history and stuff? Yeah, and just like when when are you gonna get a postal service? That kind of stuff. I'm just curious, at some point it's the government has to provide postal service here. It's what you pay taxes for. Do you pay taxes? How does it work here government has to provide postal service here. It's what you pay taxes for. Do you pay taxes?
Starting point is 00:06:26 How does it work here? Do I pay taxes? Yeah. Okay, all right, I just didn't know it. So, I mean, we're really out here, but you should look into it because you have a right. You have a right as a citizen to have like a postal truck. Why are you laughing?
Starting point is 00:06:40 Maybe I'm close and you're far. Maybe you're far. Oh, for God's sake, no. Maybe you're far. No, no, I can roll on. I'm close and you're far. Maybe you're far. Oh, for God's sake, no. Maybe you're far. No, no, I can roll on. I'm close. No, no, no. I can lean out my window
Starting point is 00:06:48 and eat some of the best sushi in town. Um, you just admitted pretty much that the only grocery store in Altadena closed three years ago. And you guys have to get, you have to portage a canoe to go and get basic goods. I did forget, I just told you that. I actually did tell you that.
Starting point is 00:07:06 What's the name of the... Is it Baja what? Baja Ranch Market, which was the closest market to us, closed. Well, really the only market. You can drive far and go to another market. Yes, many people can say that. You can be anywhere on the continent and say you can drive far and there will be a market. So your defense of Altadena is crumbling, left and right.
Starting point is 00:07:28 What I'm trying to do is I am your advocate. I am telling you that you have the right to postal service. You should have a working phone. You should have irrigation. Those are things that you should have. You're entitled to them. Well, you don't think we have irrigation up here? Well, what's that thing going on down the road?
Starting point is 00:07:45 When we were driving up the road to get here, we passed over something that looked like an abandoned gully. What's that? What's going on there? I don't know. I think that's just a reservoir. No, it's not a reservoir, because reservoirs have water in them. This looks like... Does anyone know what I'm talking about? On the way up here... Are you talking about the Arroyo?
Starting point is 00:08:03 I'm seeing a lot of nodding. On the way up here, we, David, David, would you get to a microphone please? Do you remember when I commented on it as we passed in that tiny car that you call a car? Yeah, that I risked my life in riding with you, Sid. Okay, okay. David, what did we see on the way up here
Starting point is 00:08:19 just before we got to Sona's house? Yeah. What was it? Describe it. I don't know what it was. It was like a big, remember in, if you watch Parks and Rec, whenever they like fall down into that thing, it was like that. It looks like you're gonna be walking
Starting point is 00:08:31 and you're just gonna like fall into this. Just gonna, you're just gonna go down, down, down. I love your generation. If you need to describe something, you name a random TV show and say, remember that thing in that TV show? It's like that thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:44 This is the guy that was talking about Jack Lord's hair from Hawaii Five-0. Well, using specifics. I wanted to look like Jack Lord. Specifics, I didn't say, you know that thing that was in that show with the thing? Why do you act like you had it, like you had a choice about what your hair looked like?
Starting point is 00:08:59 I don't think I cooked this hot dog enough. The center, it just doesn't taste right. Are there more hot dogs? And you know what, it's important. We're not doing ads for the hot dogs, right? This is just to create ambiance. I don't like these hot dogs. Oh no, this one's kind of weak ass.
Starting point is 00:09:14 These are LL Bean hot dogs. Yeah, who got the hot dogs? No, no, who got the hot dogs? Did you get these from the closed Baja Fresh supermarket? Because you know what? When they close the supermarket, sometimes they don't throw out all the food. And I have a suspicion that Chalemi broke into a window and went into the long, unrefrigerated, refrigerated section and took hot dogs from the Eisenhower administration.
Starting point is 00:09:39 That one looks less, is that what they always look like? No, this looks different. What happened? Did you change the wieners on us? The first three were microwaved a little bit just to get a pre-cook going. Where were they microwaved? I don't have a microwave. Oh, Raul cooked them in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:09:56 He did something. I don't have a microwave. He cooked them in the kitchen. What I love, they said we microwaved them and sewed them in his kitchen and so he just said, I don't have a microwave. That means that Rao put them in a shoe box, waited 30 seconds and then took them out of the shoe box.
Starting point is 00:10:11 But these are not, these are just straight from the package. I would just cook them more. I'll just have another one. No, I can't eat another one. Are these like really good grade A hot dogs? This is the real deal. This is like a ballpark. I think you need another wood.
Starting point is 00:10:24 These are the real deal. It's real deal hot dogs or these? This is the real deal. This is like a ballpark. I think you need another wood. These are the real deal. You just want to cook. It's real deal hot dogs. You just want to make sure it's cooked all the way through. Really? Why? Could I get sick? No, you're fine.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I mean, they're cooked. Hot dogs are cooked already. Yeah, that's what I thought. Be sicker. This doesn't taste right on the inside. This just makes them warm. But you're still eating them. There's a piece of jewelry in this.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I love that you're complaining about it, but you're still eating them. There's a piece of jewelry in this. Ha ha ha. I love that you're complaining about it, but you're still eating it. Hey. That's the fun of a hot dog. I grew up in the Depression, meaning my mom was depressed. Aw. And, uh.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Everyone's laughing at that. That's terrible. It was bad at the time, but it's funny now. Uh. Oh, you need more on that, don't you? I don't know. You did it so quickly. I was roasting for a while. I like it the way I like it.
Starting point is 00:11:09 You like a raw weiner. So I think we have to go back to what did Ralph think he was doing when he put the hot dog in a box in your house and waited, what? How do you reheat things in your house? We put them in the toaster oven. Oh, so that's what he did.
Starting point is 00:11:21 But you gotta put them in there for a while. He was in there for a while. It's not like you zap it for like a minute, like a microwave. He was in there for a while. Zap it for like a minute. He was in there for a while Why don't you guys have a microwave? But these are that the ones I just gave you right here are not reheated So you want to we don't do microwaves microwaves are not good. They don't have them in all to do them No, do you think microwaves are unhealthy? No, I think they don't taste good when you reheat stuff with microwaves. They get mushy Oh, I mean what's worse than a mushy pizza from a for that you reheat in a microwave? You can't put a pizza in the
Starting point is 00:11:47 microwave, that's true, but there are many things you can put in a microwave. You could also just reheat it normally and it takes like a minute longer. Okay, um, I guess you win this argument. I do, because you had no response. Yeah. One point for Sona. I won that one. Yeah, take that one point and put it in that big empty jar of points Big empty jar of points. Yeah, the jar has a lot of points in it No, cuz you said it has jar of points. Yeah, how is it empty if it's got a whole jar of points? It's not one again put another one in my jar Clang echo echo echo echo echo echo echo
Starting point is 00:12:22 I go thunk and then that's three points you got in there. All the noise. I'm leaving. There's no more noise, because it just goes thunk, and it hits all the other points that I have. Because all I do is win, win, win, no matter what. I have aqueducts.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I have points that are just in aqueducts. And there's runoffs and channels, and points are just flowing everywhere. There's so many points. Your points never count, because you give yourself points, and those aren't real points everywhere. There's so many points. Your points never count cause you give yourself points and those aren't real points, but the world gives me points. Society gives me points.
Starting point is 00:12:50 No, society's given you. Everybody here gave me those points. They didn't give you any points. I didn't see any point transaction. I have just waterfalls. There's an electric plant that's completely powered. Turbines are turning because my points are shooting through it all the time.
Starting point is 00:13:05 All of Altadena is built with my points. This entire city didn't exist before I moved in. Talk about building a castle upon sand. I mean, this is biblical. If Altadena is built on your points, everyone should flee this jurisdiction immediately. Everyone is living comfortably. That's a terrible place to live. My neighbors are here. They live comfortably. I live comfortably. You know, you won't get home insurance the minute they find out your house is built on your points. I have so many points. You're so jealous. You got no points. You got nothing.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I win all the time. It's like sometimes I'm just like, I'm so tired of winning all the time. You can see my points from space. Why do I lose? Why do I lose? If you're in an orbiter, you can see my points from space. And they're often mistaken for the city of Las Vegas. Because they're so bright and so shiny and so masked. I just, you know what, I just talked to an astronaut and they're like, those aren't real points. But Sona's points are real points.
Starting point is 00:13:51 My points are real points. Your points are fake points you give yourself. It's like when you say something that you think it's a joke and you're like, that was real funny because no one laughed. And then you're like, that was real funny. When I say something's really funny, I'm a professional. That means that's like 11 points right there. I think you're just sad because nobody's laughing, and you're like, I'm just gonna make myself feel better.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I've never said something and not heard laughter, and I don't know what that would sound like. You know what I mean? If I ever say something and there's no laughter, I would probably kill myself immediately. That's how used to laughter I am. I'm so used to laughter that the absence of it would probably cause my heart to liquefy and then explode.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I have not laughed so many say explode and then liquefy I love I not laugh when I not laugh I get when I don't laugh Listen Hulk. It's Hulk. I like you Hulk. You're good Hulk good, but Hulk wrong about points Conan right about points Hulk wrong I think that's a nice sweater. You're going to change the the the subject just for a second. Points points points. Did you? No! No points! No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no It would be chillier except we're being warmed by this solo stove, which is very nice. And also these lights, they have these bank lights here because we're also being filmed. It looks a little like when there's a crime scene and they're investigating it at night. You know the way they put those big lights up?
Starting point is 00:15:14 I know! So that the guys can sort of do the forensics during the nighttime. Do you have a little stroll there? Yeah, I went home and took a nap and dreamt I was happy. Oh, and had that go. Well. This episode of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend is sponsored by L.L. Bean.

Starting point is 00:16:58 or more. This is an exciting evening. We're here in Althadena. Sona's neighbors from down the street. Yeah. They're not your next door neighbors. No, they're two houses down. And they came by. Were these the ones that you told me heard you talking?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yes. They've heard us before, especially when the boys are crying and stuff. They can hear, because we're allowed. We're allowed people. And sometimes our neighbors can hear us. And sometimes when I'm outside, I hear my family members, like when I'm down the street talking.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Who's the loudest person in your family? I would say my mom, between me and my mom, my mom. If you two, let's say it, I'm sure it doesn't happen often, but let's say you two were to have an argument. It happens all the time. I know, I was being funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:50 When you two argue, how loud does it get? It gets loud. I mean, imagine how I normally talk and imagine it like amplified and having- I can't imagine it getting louder than what I've heard, but it probably does. Oh yeah, it does. I can amplify.
Starting point is 00:18:04 So it gets loud. You can get loud probably. yeah, it does. Okay. I can amplify. Yeah. So it gets loud. You can get loud probably. Nah, not really. Kind of a quiet mouse. Quiet mouse. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Everyone's laughing. You're not a quiet person. I'm just a guy that keeps to himself. Neighbors are always going to say, he kept to himself, he was a good neighbor. We never knew he was a good neighbor. We never knew he was gonna snap. He's kept his yard real neat. You know, didn't come to any of the social things in the neighborhood, but you know, he's a fine neighbor. So that's me, that's the kind of guy I'd be.
Starting point is 00:18:37 When you first moved into your place, did you wanna make sure everybody knew they were living next door to you? Yeah, first of all, I complained because I was not on the map of the Starz homes. I'm the only celebrity to ever do that. You called them and you were like, guys. I went there.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Oh no. Because they have a stand on Sunset Boulevard. And I said, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, I think there's a mistake here. And I showed them where I lived. You had a huge Conan sign outside your house like a car dealership, and one of those balloon men. I said, and I told them, I said,
Starting point is 00:19:10 you have the other celebrities that live in my neighborhood, but I'm not represented. And I told them exactly where I lived, and then I expected to see the bus at least five times a day. Yeah, did you wait outside? Well, they first of all kept saying, and what is it you do, and stuff like that. And they said, are you still on TV?
Starting point is 00:19:25 And I said, that's not the point. I said, that is your irrelevant point, young man. You're not to speak back to me. And they were wondering why I was wearing a tuxedo. And yeah, I was upset. I thought I should be part of the tour. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry too.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, you know, other stars were on the tour. What? What's that sound? That sounds like a horse. That's a horse. That's a horse. A horse just went on the pavement. We have horses that just-
Starting point is 00:19:51 But wait, who's riding a horse? The horse people. Okay. God, you're good. Does that mean a person on a horse or people that are horse people? Like a minotaur? Minotaur.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Centaur. Centaur. Yeah. Wait, you have centaurs? No, no. Do people regularly ride horses up and down the street? Regularly they ride. There's an equestrian center, like not that far. Okay, that makes sense. And they ride horses, just chill up and down the street.
Starting point is 00:20:17 That makes sense. A couple of times there was horse poop in front of my house. Well, if you get horses, you're gonna occasionally get horse poop. Yeah. They go hand in hand. But why isn't it like dogs? Why do we have to clean up dog get horses, you're going to occasionally get horse poop. Yeah. They go hand in hand. But why isn't it like dogs? Why do we have to clean up dog poop? You don't have to clean up horse poop.
Starting point is 00:20:29 It's a funny kind of thing. For some reason, horse manure is less offensive. I don't know why. That's true. But people just feel like, yep, that's just some horse manure, or whatever, big deal. It's poop. It's on the street.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Pick it up. Shovel it. No, you can't. Put it in a bag. I mean, have you seen them? They're huge. You'd have to have a truck driving behind you. No, it's just not feasible.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Look, work on getting a mail system first. And then we'll get the poop off the streets. Okay? Fair? Good deal? No, I'm not gonna agree with you. High five? Thank you for the high five. No, no high five.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I did not high five you. For the record, there was no high five. Don't do that. And high five. Thank you, Sona. That's not how my hand would sound if I high five. I would sound different. Sona, looks like we had a pretty good time. high five. Don't do that. And high five. Thank you, Sona. That's not how my hand would sound if I high fived. Anyway. I would sound different than that.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Sona, it looks like we had a pretty good time. High five. I'm leaving again. No, no, no, stay. Are we filming this just so we can put out a clip of Conan high fiving himself? Oh, can we do something? I don't know how much this is gonna cost,
Starting point is 00:21:17 but I'll pay for it. And when I mean I'll pay for it, I'll get it out of the company somehow. But it's not gonna touch my part. My part? Do some sort of cheap animation where it looks like Sona and I high-fived over this. And I don't care how cheap it is.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Just make it look in a very crude way like Sona high-fived me. Can I ask for another thing? Oh, and use that. Her hand in the air right now. No! No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, use that. I would like a gif of Conan high-fiving himself. And even if my arm bends over a weird angle and doesn't match. I want a gif of this. Conan high-fiving himself like a dork.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Nope. Like an absolute dork. No. Just high-fiving yourself. No, I run this show. No, look, my phone. No one likes you. Everyone loves me.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Loved everywhere. Everyone wants to make you look foolish. Don't be fuelish. Remember that from the 70s? You weren't alive. Not at all. Not at all. During the energy crisis.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Just stop bringing me into this, leave me alone. Don't be fuelish. Do you remember don't be fuelish? Leave me alone, both of you. What does that even mean? During the energy crisis, they didn't want people to waste gasoline, so I remembered there was a thing that said,
Starting point is 00:22:15 don't be fuel-ish. It spelled out fuel. F-U-E-L. F-U-E-L-ish. And they said, don't be fuel-ish. And for some reason, that just popped out of my head, too. I don't know why. I think I'm having a major occlusion in the mind. It's the altitude. It is the altitude. We're up here at...
Starting point is 00:22:30 Do you notice our breath? You can see our breath? Yeah, but why? I thought that was the fire. No, it's the temperature. No, it's not that cold. You know what? I can see my breath. I think it may be the vapor in the air. Oh, the vapor? Or also, Sona had garlic.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Oh. Ha ha ha. You know what's really funny? When I was in your kitchen, oh man, this killed me. And you heard my voice and you said, you want garlic? And I said, do you have any? Like, you wouldn't have garlic. Yeah, that was really funny.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Oh, we had a good laugh. Let's high five. Nobody had a good laugh. Thanks, Sona. Take it. And do that too. No, no, no. Clip it out. Clip it out. Three, the three times you've done it and do it again. Nope, no, no Clip it out three the three times we got it and do it again. Nope. Nope. Okay, loop it Well with cool terminology like that
Starting point is 00:23:12 There's no way they won't listen to you and I'm I have seriously been questioning how my life has brought me to this point I know I'm so sorry girls. I think it's cuz he's in my space and it's there's a different... It is, there's a different energy here. Yeah. You're feeling invaded. Yeah, you're shitting on Alta-Dena. Hey, no, I'm not at all, I'm just mocking it. You know, in a shitty way, it's a very different thing. Hey, I have a question. How weird would it be if, let's say we weren't doing this tonight, okay?
Starting point is 00:23:40 This was never happening, and you were getting ready for bed, and kids are asleep, tax turned in, okay? And you were getting ready for bed, and kids are asleep, tacks turned in, okay? And you look out the window, and you see something, and you look closer, and I'm in your yard, right where I am, sitting in this chair. Oh, no. In the dark, for no reason.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Wait, no. How freaked out would you be? Why is that? It's like Slenderman, right? Why do you think about those things? It's like Michael Myers. Mike Myers, yeah. And I'm just sitting here like this.
Starting point is 00:24:04 That's harrowing. But why are you sitting there? I don't. That Michael Myers. Yeah, and I'm just sitting here like this. That's harrowing. But why are you sitting there? That's the weird thing is I don't know. I'm just sitting here and you're like, what the? And so you freak out, you wake up, tack. He's like, oh, Christodio, Syrivo. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:24:18 No, no, English, English tack. And he's like, you know, what, what, what? And he rushes to the window and there's no chair and I'm not here. You're gone, yeah. Then he goes back to sleep. You check one more time. No, that's really creepy.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And I'm here smiling just like this. That's so scary. Isn't that scary? That's really scary. What if we thought you, we didn't know it was you and then he took his sword and he stabbed you with it. What sword? Tak has a sword.
Starting point is 00:24:43 You know who else brought a sword today? Blade brought a gigantic sword that he got from the Renaissance Fair. Can we please talk about that for a second? He went to the Renaissance Fair, and he bought a sword. Yeah, he was afraid he one day may have sex. So he quickly went to the Renaissance Fair to make sure that his celibacy would be insured for all time. Why did you bring a sword? Tac is the only other person I know who loves swords as much as I do and so I bought this cool sword so I wanted to show Tak my
Starting point is 00:25:12 cool sword. No one else likes swords! No wait, it's not that we don't. First of all, it's just not much use for them in the modern world, that's all. I think once you have a sword you find a lot of uses for it. Yeah. It's kind of like when you have a tool, you're like, oh, yeah, I could tighten this up. I could tighten this up, you know, slice things. Yeah, instead of using the normal knife, you could use sword. So what kind of sword does Tak have? Tak has like a, it's a more Japanese style sword.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I don't know if it's a katana. I don't know what they're called. I don't know what it's called. He's inside and I could ask him, but I don't know. I don't know, guys. I don't know what kind of sword it He's inside and I could ask him, but I don't I don't know. I don't know guys I don't know kind of sword. Okay, let it go, but it's not like blaze sword blaze sword is like No, so that's yours is a medieval. That's a King Arthur sword. Jesus Christ, and it's sharp And you brought that you brought that just to show no, it's okay. I can see it. That's good Why didn't we roast a weenie with that?
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah. That's, you know what I mean? Do you mind me asking how much you paid for that? How much did you pay for it? How much did you pay for it? It was a deal. How much did you pay for it? I paid $380 for it. You're fired.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Because you waste your money on shit. It's a nice sword. Good luck at the pawn shop. I'm sorry, Blair, I just needed to deflect. You were there with a sword. He didn't mean to shame you. But what if we stabbed you because we thought you were an intruder?
Starting point is 00:26:38 That's what I'm talking about. No, this is just one of those things where I sometimes wonder. Just picture you looking out the window. No one's here, there's no reason for me to be here. And I'm just sitting in this chair and I have just a slight enigmatic smile. Ew, I don't like that. Are you lit up like this? Well, I have my natural pale skin that shines like a moon. LAUGHS
Starting point is 00:27:01 I don't even know why you think of these things. I think of these things all the time. Wouldn't that be weird? Things like that are much scarier to me than someone jumping out, hacking at you. Just a cone in your backyard, sitting in a chair, smiling in the night when you don't think you're going to see them. What's more terrifying than that? It's really terrifying.
Starting point is 00:27:18 There honestly is not anything I can think of that is more terrifying than you just sitting in my yard. I really do think that is really terrifying. But I get what you mean when you think about weird things. Like there was the solo stove lighter fluid and it said, do not drink highly flammable. And I was like, what if I just drank it? Sing it out loud.
Starting point is 00:27:41 That's a death wish. I know, I hear it. I hear it. It's not the same as what you were thinking at all. It's not what I was saying. It's terrible, don't do that. Don't drink that. You're the mother of two beautiful boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Got your whole life ahead of you, don't do that. But what if it's also like, you know when you're on a rooftop bar or something and you're like, I'm just gonna jump off. She's so not. No, no. Holy shit. Am I the only one who thinks these things? The worst I ever do is if I'm watching gonna jump off. Nope, she's so not. No, no. Holy shit. Am I the only one who thinks these things? The worst I ever do is if I'm watching a play,
Starting point is 00:28:08 I go, there's nothing stopping me from walking up on that stage and giving them all wedgies right now. Well, I think your physical strength would stop you. What do you mean? I don't care who was in that play. This was children's theater. If it was a play of old women, they would beat the shit out of you.
Starting point is 00:28:24 You know when we do live shows, sometimes I'm like, I'm gonna say something really bad. You usually do and people laugh. You mean like mistakenly or you kind of want to do it? No, like seriously bad words. Purposely. Like I don't know something, I don't know racist or something.
Starting point is 00:28:38 What? I know, I think about this all the time. But you're not a racist person. I'm not, but I'm just saying like there's so much at stake. What if I say something that's so bad my life is over? Yeah, but no one takes you seriously. No one, no one. No, no, but people just think like,
Starting point is 00:28:52 oh, that goofy sona, you know what I mean? You think they won't take me seriously? Yeah, I think you're safe. I'm fine. Try some right now. Because I'm not a serious person. No, I don't want to. That's the point.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I'm like. You have a good heart. No one thinks it comes. But I'm just saying things that I shouldn't be thinking about. I think about a lot sometimes. And it's... I really... I thought everybody would be like, oh, yeah, I think about jumping off a roof sometimes when I'm at a restaurant. But the fact that no one else thinks that really makes me uncomfortable right now. And I'm feeling a little awkward and vulnerable.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I'm feeling very vulnerable. Child services is on the way. Yeah. It makes me worry. You just admitted your children are sleeping upstairs and you admitted you want to drink lighter fluid and then you want to jump off a roof. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I think you're going to spend a couple of days, they're just going to be away from your kids, that's all. I really thought you guys would help me out with that. I don't know what to say. I'm sitting with a guy who wants to sit in a backyard all night to scare someone. Or a woman who wants to jump off a building and a guy who spent $380 on a sword.
Starting point is 00:29:51 And I don't feel like a normal person, but you guys make me feel so sane. You're very sane. You're not sane. Yeah, he is. No, he's not. You're not a sane person. He's a little eccentric, but he's sane.
Starting point is 00:30:02 But compared to you people, I'm just John Doe guy next door. You people? Sona. Who's racist now? Listen. That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Oh my god, so what are they killing? Who knows? It could be anything. Are those coyotes? What are those? Coyotes. That's coyotes attacking an old game show host. They're tearing apart Wink Martindale right now. What do you think they're getting?
Starting point is 00:30:29 A cat, it could be a cat. It could be a possum. It could be a raccoon. Don't list all animals in the world. Jesus, you're like the coat check at Noah's Ark. A horse? Unbelievable. A horse?
Starting point is 00:30:41 No, it wouldn't be a horse. Whoa. Oh my God. That is so chilling. Did you hear that, ladies and gentlemen? That was crazy. I hope our mics picked that up. That was fantastic. I don't know. Do we have ambient mics that would pick that up? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 We have ambient mics? It probably picked that up. I would imagine. That was pretty loud. You know what? It was pretty loud. That was pretty... That's crazy. And you hear that all the time, huh? All the time.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Where's Tac? Is he around when this is happening? Have you ever seen him? What if you find out that Tac was doing it? That's what. And you hear that all the time, huh? All the time. Where's Tac? Is he around when this is happening? Have you ever seen him? What if you find out that Tac was doing it? That's what I mean. Oh, Tac's the guy? What if Tac's a werewolf? What if when he says he's- A wampir.
Starting point is 00:31:13 What if he says, when he says he's going to karate, he's really just going to kill creatures? I think that's an exotic excuse for I'm gonna go out. You just say like, I gotta go to work and check on a few things. No one says I'm going to karate and that there's something weird because karate in and of itself is kind of out there. Well I'm gonna go chop at the air while wearing pajamas. Really I'm up to something kind of kooky. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:31:37 It makes no sense. That martial art is hundreds of years old and you just tore it down to chopping the air while wearing pajamas. Well, anyway, I'm sorry. I hope- My apologies to an entire way of life. Yes. Listen, I think it's time. What better way to- my God, you can't hear this at home because these are very- these
Starting point is 00:31:56 are directional mics. These mics have been set up by Eduardo. He had no idea that something that traumatic was going to happen. But the sound was absolutely thrilling. It's like a- this is like a real nature special. We are... it's nighttime, we're here in Altadena, and what sounded like maybe 15 or 20 coyotes just surrounded some animal, started shrieking,
Starting point is 00:32:16 and, uh, tore it asunder. Incredible. And then it just gets quiet. And listen how quiet it gets. A little moment of silence for that gone animal. Now they're fighting over... The carcass. No, also like the bill. Oh.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Like, who? I only had one paw. Oh. Why do I have to pay as much? He had two paws and the tail. I'll get the tail. He had two paws in the tail and I had one paw. I didn't drink any of the blood. He drank all the blood. Now they're fighting about that. Just going at it. Man, incredible riffs. That might be a new one. This is a new one.
Starting point is 00:33:02 No now they're fighting about the tax. I can't believe there's a food tax. We're in Altadena. You know, we don't even have mail service. Well, anyway, let's wrap it up. It's been another good episode of Goo Goo Golly in the Gum Gum Tree. I think it's called Chill Chums for reasons I don't even remember anymore. It's called fan service.
Starting point is 00:33:22 That's what Adam tells me. Adam Saks says this is fan service. That's what Adam tells me. Adam Sacks says, this is fan service. This is an all-timer episode. Is this the same episode where you guys argued about points? That was four hours ago. And that was this episode, right? Was that this episode? Holy Christ.
Starting point is 00:33:36 It's amazing. You left and you built a house from scratch. I did. I went out and trained 15 wild coyotes. ALL LAUGHING All right. Well, thanks for listening to this episode of Chumaroonees. CHUCKLES Chilled Chumaroo. I'm a guy that... Well...
Starting point is 00:33:56 This is, uh, this is where my career has brought me. We can end it. We can actually end this episode. I keep trying to, but you don't... No one helps me. It's you that... you do the end. You do the ending. Okay. You end it. Take it easy.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Finish it. The more you try to talk, the less you can talk. It's hilarious. You do the end. Endy-doo. Endy-doo-dee-doo. No-no-doo-no-doo-no-doo. Oh, God, the more you try to end it, the less you end it.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Ladies and gentlemen, from Altadena, this is Conan O'Brien saying it's been nice. Uh. Oh my God. Vodka with ice. I'm so close to my house and I feel so far away. You did this for 30 years, just end it. Okay, well that was easy.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I go like, well, that's our time. Good night everybody. You can do that. That's it, that's it, Chuck. Stay tuned for last call with Carson Daly. Uh. Uh. Uh.
