• 1:30Speaker 03

  Hi.

• 1:30Speaker 04

  Hi, Yustra. Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.

• 1:33Conan O'Brien?

  Hi, Yustra. How are you?

• 1:34Speaker 03

  Hi, Conan. Hi, Matt. Hi, Sonya.

• 1:38Conan O'Brien?

  Nice to see you.

• 1:39Speaker 02

  Hi.

• 1:39Speaker 03

  Nice to see you, too.

• 1:41Conan O'Brien?

  Your hair is very beautiful. I love the way your hair comes down. It's... that's very cool. It frames your face beautifully.

• 1:48Speaker 03

  I just got it done.

• 1:50Conan O'Brien?

  Oh. Well, I wish I had done something to my hair. My hair is being crushed right now by a headset.

• 1:55Speaker 03

  Your hair is iconic.

• 1:59Conan O'Brien?

  Thank you. Come on. Well, you are, you are like, Yousra.

• 2:04Speaker 04

  That doesn't mean a compliment necessarily.

• 2:06Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, you're right. Iconic doesn't always mean good, you know. You know, Ted Bundy was an iconic killer. Yeah, but.

• 2:14Speaker 03

  I think the swoop of your hair is iconic.

• 2:17Conan O'Brien?

  Thank you so much. I think of it as a wave, a strawberry wave.

• 2:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:22Conan O'Brien?

  But, please.

• 2:23Speaker 03

  It's very hard to achieve.

• 2:25Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, very hard to achieve. And women are very drawn to me because of the swoop of my hair. Don't you think, Yousra? Hello, Yousra? Is this connection still going to Yousra? Are you still there?

• 2:36Speaker 03

  It's, it's still going. I'm still there.

• 2:38Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, great. Well, you didn't really answer the question, but anyway. Avoided it completely. Yeah, very nicely done, Yousra. Yousra, I have it here that you are from Rabat, Morocco. Is that true? Is that where you were born?

• 2:51Speaker 03

  Yes, I was born in Rabat, Morocco, but now I'm residing in Paris.

• 2:56Conan O'Brien?

  You're living in Paris, but you go back to Morocco a great deal, yes?

• 3:00Speaker 03

  I'm going the day after tomorrow.

• 3:03Conan O'Brien?

  Oh.

• 3:04Speaker 03

  To, for a vacation. And actually, tomorrow I'm passing my master's thesis.

• 3:10Conan O'Brien?

  Wow.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  And.

• 3:12Conan O'Brien?

  Well, maybe, maybe. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Come on. Who says tomorrow I'm passing a test? You don't say that, Yousra. You say, you know, I with, I hope, I hope if the spirits are with me that tomorrow I pass the test.

• 3:30Speaker 03

  No, but it's not a test. It's a presentation of my thesis, so.

• 3:35Conan O'Brien?

  Uh huh.

• 3:36Speaker 03

  It's really a test.

• 3:37Speaker 04

  What's your thesis on?

• 3:40Speaker 03

  Um, I'm study, um, I studied architecture in Morocco and I came here for a master's in computational design and architecture.

• 3:49Conan O'Brien?

  Mm hmm.

• 3:50Speaker 03

  So tomorrow I'll have, I'll have to present my thesis, my final thesis for an internship that I did in Paris, here in Paris.

• 4:01Conan O'Brien?

  Well, you sound very impressive and I hope you pass.

• 4:06Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 4:06Conan O'Brien?

  Again, I'm gonna say that. I don't like all this. Well, tomorrow I win the game. I just think that he is asking for trouble. Okay, Eustace, I'm gonna talk to you as if, for purposes of our conversation, that it's all about Morocco. Is that okay with you?

• 4:23Speaker 03

  Yes, it's all about Morocco.

• 4:25Conan O'Brien?

  Cool, okay. Let the deception begin.

• 4:29Conan O'Brien?

  Now, tell me a little bit, do you have family, you probably have a lot of family and friends in Rabat? Is that true?

• 4:37Speaker 03

  Yes, well, since I was born and raised in Rabat, I studied in Rabat. I do have a lot of friends there. And I, all my family is in Rabat, Morocco, yeah.

• 4:47Conan O'Brien?

  Now, I don't know much about Rabat. What's the, when you think Morocco, I don't immediately think of Rabat. And that's on me, because I just, I don't know as much.

• 4:56Speaker 03

  You think of Marrakech?

• 4:57Conan O'Brien?

  I think of Marrakech, probably.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  Is Casablanca in Morocco?

• 5:01Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, Casablanca.

• 5:03Speaker 03

  Casablanca, it's pretty near Rabat, actually.

• 5:06Conan O'Brien?

  And so do people in Rabat have an attitude, like, hey, enough about Marrakech, enough about Casablanca, let's hear more about Rabat? Is that, is that something that people, do you have a chip on your shoulder about Rabat?

• 5:20Speaker 03

  Actually, the rest of Morocco think of us people from Rabat as being as far from being down to earth as possible. It's probably because we are the capital of the country. And so always people think that we're not down to earth and somewhat, we are arrogant. There is also another stereotype that we give false directions if someone is asking us about the direction of the street. I don't know why.

• 5:52Conan O'Brien?

  On purpose?

• 5:53Speaker 03

  When people ask me, I try to give good directions.

• 5:56Conan O'Brien?

  But, but, but wait a minute, but maybe...

• 5:58Speaker 03

  I don't know where this comes from.

• 5:58Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, but that might, first of all, the first thing you said to me, you say, oh, I'm from Rabat, and there's this idea that we're arrogant. The first thing you said to me is, tomorrow I pass

• 6:11Conan O'Brien?

  my big test, which is a very arrogant thing to say.

• 6:17Conan O'Brien?

  And then I asked you, where in Rabat do you live? And you went, oh, go down there and take a left and then a right.

• 6:25Conan O'Brien?

  So it's possible.

• 6:26Speaker 03

  It was just a technicality.

• 6:28Conan O'Brien?

  Yusra, it's possible that you're a very arrogant person and you just don't know it.

• 6:32Speaker 05

  Come on.

• 6:33Speaker 03

  No, no, no. I swear, I'm not an arrogant person.

• 6:37Conan O'Brien?

  I'm, I'm.

• 6:37Speaker 03

  And I, when people ask me, when people they're not from about, and they ask me about directions, I try my best to give them the good directions. I, I really don't know where this stereotype comes from.

• 6:48Conan O'Brien?

  I'm not sure either, but, uh, Yusra, I, I do believe you. You seem like a good and kind person. And maybe it's other people. Sometimes it's just a few bad apples that give, uh, you know, the whole capital a bad name. There might be a couple of people, uh, in Rabat, walking around, giving bad directions and acting like they're all that and a bag of Cheeto chips, you know? Sorry, that's a common, that's a common phrase here in America now.

• 7:15Speaker 05

  It's not.

• 7:15Conan O'Brien?

  It's used by the street youth.

• 7:17Speaker 05

  Nobody, nobody uses that.

• 7:18Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, pretty common.

• 7:19Speaker 05

  Cheeto chips?

• 7:20Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, please. Hey, hey, Sona, get outside a little bit, okay? And maybe, and maybe talk to some people outside your bubble. Um, anyways, um.

• 7:30Speaker 04

  Would you like a Cheeto chip? It's never been said.

• 7:35Speaker 05

  Cheeto chip? You're all that and a bag of Cheeto chips?

• 7:39Conan O'Brien?

  Guys, this, I call this an unproductive cul-de-sac.

• 7:41Speaker 05

  I'm sorry, I know, I just wanna make sure everybody heard that.

• 7:44Conan O'Brien?

  We're here talking to Yusra from Rabat, Morocco, who seems very cool. Uh, you seem very smart, you're clearly very well educated. Uh, and, uh, you seem like a very cool person, and I wanna learn more about you. Uh, if I came to Rabat, if I came to Morocco, um, would there be any way that I could be of help to you? Is there anything I can do for you?

• 8:05Speaker 03

  I, I really don't think of, of you being of help to me, but.

• 8:11Speaker 05

  There's that Rabatan arrogance, I love it.

• 8:14Conan O'Brien?

  You are so arrogant. Maybe I could teach you to come down to earth a little bit.

• 8:21Speaker 03

  I just.

• 8:23Speaker 03

  I just wanna finish my sentence. I was thi- when I think of you coming to Morocco, I think of all the places I wanna show you.

• 8:30Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, like what? What would you show me?

• 8:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, well, me, I think, um, studying architecture for so, for like, for so long in Rabat, I had the opportunity to go to a lot of historical places and monuments. And I, I think I have um, some knowledge that I would like to uh, share with you about my city. And I will, I want you to discover the people of, of Rabat, all of the monuments, the culture, the food, especially the food.

• 9:01Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, let's talk, let's talk more specifically because this is very nice, but I wanna make sure that I have an experience that just not any tourist can have. Do you know what I mean? And look, there are, what you're describing right now is, oh, I'll show you around some monuments and some architecture and I'll show you some of the food. I would really wanna focus on, you know, what it, what specifically could we do that would be special and fun?

• 9:27Speaker 03

  What's with, I don't, I, I'm just thinking of a lot of experiences relating to food, because food is very important to our culture. So maybe you would like try and eat street food or not, like um, not in an, in a classy restaurant for, for say, but go and try the, the food that's in the very small streets that no, not particularly tourists will go to. So, yeah, maybe try the local food.

• 10:00Conan O'Brien?

  You want me to go and experience some food that other tourists aren't having? That's in small streets?

• 10:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, probably, small streets, yeah.

• 10:08Conan O'Brien?

  Small streets, uh, what kind of food are we talking about? Describe the food to me.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  So there is a lot of like, um, there is um, like sandwiches with uh, with a lot of spicy meats. And there is also, um, how do I put this delicately, like the, it's basically the feet of cows or, or sheep. And it's cooked and you can, you can eat the meat that's there.

• 10:39Conan O'Brien?

  I'm sorry, you're talking about the hoof? The hoof?

• 10:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, the hoof, that's the word.

• 10:44Conan O'Brien?

  That's just a big, isn't the hoof just a big? Toenail? What is the hoof?

• 10:48Speaker 04

  Are you talking about the leg that surrounds it?

• 10:49Speaker 02

  No, but like the whole leg.

• 10:51Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, the whole leg? I thought just the foot. Okay. Cause I won't eat a hoof. I took an oath.

• 10:56Speaker 02

  No, no, no, don't worry.

• 10:56Conan O'Brien?

  A long time ago. I'm very, I have a bumper sticker on my car that says, "I don't eat hoof."

• 11:08Conan O'Brien?

  You know, winning an award, that's a big achievement, right?

• 11:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, I love awards.

• 11:12Conan O'Brien?

  Every now and then in life, maybe something nice like that comes your way. Winning them consistently is almost impossible. It just doesn't happen. You know? Well, guess what? Winning five times in six years? You know what that sounds like to me? Sustained excellence.

• 11:25Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 11:26Conan O'Brien?

  Hyundai has done just that. Earning the title of America's best SUV brand for 2026 from US News and World Report. You are a very happy Hyundai driver.

• 12:34Conan O'Brien?

  This fall, I want to try something different.

• 12:35Speaker 02

  What?

• 12:36Conan O'Brien?

  I like to change it up. I like to learn things, so I'm gonna try and make apple cider.

• 12:40Speaker 02

  Ooh!

• 12:40Conan O'Brien?

  Every morning.

• 12:41Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 12:41Conan O'Brien?

  This fall, just to see if I can do it.

• 12:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:43Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, fall's the perfect season to try something new, like joining T-Mobile.

• 12:47Speaker 02

  Oh, that's good.

• 12:48Conan O'Brien?

  See what I did?

• 12:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:49Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, there are 250 reasons to join T-Mobile right now. You want to hear what they are?

• 12:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:54Conan O'Brien?

  They're America's best network.

• 12:55Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 12:55Conan O'Brien?

  True story. Plus, T-Mobile has got off-grid satellite coverage. That comes in really handy. I like to just wander in the woods sometimes.

• 13:02Speaker 02

  Oh, that's weird.

• 13:03Conan O'Brien?

  When I'm thinking about, like, making apple cider. And that's when it comes in handy. Here's another reason. High-speed data in over 215 countries and destinations. I travel a lot for the

• 13:12Speaker 02

  You travel a lot.

• 13:13Conan O'Brien?

  Travel show that I do.

• 13:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:14Conan O'Brien?

  Stream this podcast while ignoring local landmarks. That's always fun to do. Like, oh, look, there's the Mona Lisa. Yeah, check it out. I'm in the Louvre. I should, but I'm listening to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.

• 13:25Speaker 02

  That doesn't seem like a good idea.

• 13:26Conan O'Brien?

  I think it's a great idea.

• 13:27Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 13:28Conan O'Brien?

  You know, you can see art anytime. But how often can you listen to this podcast?

• 13:32Speaker 02

  My god.

• 13:34Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. No, all these reasons make T-Mobile a great choice.

• 13:37Speaker 02

  I agree.

• 13:38Conan O'Brien?

  T-Mobile is stacking up reasons to join. Go to T-Mobile.com and find yours best based on analysis by Lukla of Speed Test Intelligence data first half of 2026. Can't believe I read that. T-Satellite with capable devices in most outdoor areas in the U.S. where you can see the sky. High-speed international data with qualifying plan. Visit T-Mobile.com, consult a physician. I just threw that in there.

• 14:02Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 14:07Conan O'Brien?

  We all have those pieces in our closet we can count on. Sona, I imagine for you it's that leather jacket I got you.

• 14:12Speaker 02

  Are you gonna do a bit?

• 14:13Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, it's a really nice leather jacket I got you once.

• 14:15Speaker 02

  I had that and then I replaced it and yes, I use it all the time.

• 14:19Conan O'Brien?

  We all have that versatile jacket, the perfect T-shirt, and those are the pieces that make getting dressed easy. And you know what I was thinking about this morning?

• 14:28Speaker 02

  What?

• 14:28Conan O'Brien?

  Quince. They do it best. They really do. I was really thinking about this.

• 14:32Speaker 02

  What a coincidence that we're doing an ad for them.

• 14:33Conan O'Brien?

  No, a co-coincidence.

• 14:35Speaker 02

  Oh, no.

• 14:38Conan O'Brien?

  That's why I get the big money.

• 14:39Speaker 02

  I gotta go.

• 14:40Conan O'Brien?

  Cut to very small amount of money. Quince makes elevated everyday essentials using premium materials and designs that are timeless, thoughtful, crafted, and made to be worn again and again. And when the temperature starts to drop, Quince makes it easy to build on those everyday staples with versatile layers. Layer up. That's the key. Now, Blay, you're using some Quince.

• 14:59Speaker 06

  That's right. I'm spending a lot of time back east in Michigan. It's getting a little colder, so I got a featherless quilted jacket, an Atlas Navy, and I just feel like a different guy. I feel classy.

• 15:10Conan O'Brien?

  You look like a different guy because you're well dressed.

• 15:12Speaker 06

  That's right. No, I'm serious. He looks like a hobo half the time.

• 15:15Conan O'Brien?

  That's true. He's right. That's true. No, they really do great stuff. Find your next fall favorites at Quince. Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers or go to quince.com. Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. Now available in Canada and the U.K. as well.

• 15:30Speaker 02

  All right.

• 15:30Conan O'Brien?

  And when Quince asks where you heard about them, let them know it was Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Please do that. Say, by the way, I heard about this on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Oh, I didn't really ask. I just want you to know.

• 15:44Conan O'Brien?

  It's the best way to support the show.

• 15:50Conan O'Brien?

  So, you have to admit, the holidays, it's really about hanging with the people you love.

• 15:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:56Conan O'Brien?

  And getting to be yourself, not going to some stuffy holiday party where you need to conform to what the man wants you to think about the holidays.

• 16:04Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:05Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, it's about being yourself. Turn your holiday time into Miller time by enjoying a Miller Lite in a place where you're free to enjoy yourself on a walk with a cousin. With a cousin? Why are they getting all specific about?

• 16:16Speaker 05

  Because it's family.

• 16:17Conan O'Brien?

  But what about a niece or a nephew?

• 16:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:21Conan O'Brien?

  Like a walk with an ex-wife?

• 16:24Conan O'Brien?

  I don't know. I mean, they're just throwing, that's a weird, they just made a very specific choice.

• 16:27Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:28Conan O'Brien?

  Now's the time for those unexpected holiday side guests and enjoy a great tasting light beer. 'Tis Miller time, as Dickens wrote. Miller Lite is brewed for taste, the taste you can depend on. The original light beer since 1975 and still iconic more than 50 years later. I like to be with my bros, my chums, my posse, crack open a Miller Lite, take a swig, a sip, look around and see my friends. We've known each other forever and we're just hanging out.

• 16:55Speaker 05

  Yeah, you guys are just doing chest bumps and high-fiving.

• 16:58Conan O'Brien?

  Miller Lite is great taste done right. Go to millerlite.com/conan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. 'Tis Miller time.

• 17:20Speaker 03

  We also eat snails.

• 17:21Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 17:22Speaker 03

  We also eat snails, so you can eat snails there. It's, it's popular in the street foods, like with a soup or stew, and there is just a bunch of snails that you could eat and...

• 17:35Conan O'Brien?

  There's a bunch of snails that I could eat.

• 17:37Speaker 05

  With the, with the shell, or do they de-shell?

• 17:41Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, no, no.

• 17:42Speaker 03

  With the shell, it's cooked with...

• 17:43Conan O'Brien?

  With the shell?

• 17:44Speaker 03

  It's cooked with the shell, yeah.

• 17:45Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, it's cooked with the shell, but you take it out.

• 17:47Speaker 05

  You dip it out.

• 17:48Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, have you not, I mean?

• 17:49Speaker 05

  I've never had snails.

• 17:51Speaker 04

  Have you seen his bumper sticker where he says he doesn't eat the shells?

• 17:53Conan O'Brien?

  I says, "I don't eat hoof and I won't eat the shell."

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Also, I was curious about how they prep it. Do they pull it out and then they boil the snails? But no, they cook it in the...

• 18:01Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, it's like an oyster.

• 18:03Speaker 05

  I'm not, I'm not, I'm not fancy like you are, Conan.

• 18:06Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, I've just been in the world a little bit. I'm sorry, I occasionally leave Altadena. And I see things, so I'm, I'm, this sounds good. I mean, I like to try different foods. And I don't know if you saw my episode of Hot Ones, talk about iconic.

• 18:21Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 18:23Conan O'Brien?

  But I am, uh, spices don't bother me. I can eat anything. I can eat a bank safe that's covered in the hottest chili peppers. Nothing, nothing. Of course, some dis-

• 18:34Speaker 03

  I just wanna know the aftermath of-

• 18:37Conan O'Brien?

  No, you don't. No, no, I was, let's put it this way, I was sued by my toilet.

• 18:45Conan O'Brien?

  It's very rare in the United States for a toilet, an inanimate porcelain toilet, to sue a human being. But I was sued by my toilet, and the case is pending. The toilet's gonna be in the witness box. You have no idea. The little flap going up and down. You have no idea.

• 19:02Speaker 04

  There's a Netflix true crime series coming out on it next year.

• 19:05Conan O'Brien?

  Called Toilet Busters. Features-

• 19:08Speaker 04

  Connor, what I'm hearing is what you're, maybe what you're getting to is, you wanna know, where are the clubs? Are you gonna take him to the clubs?

• 19:13Conan O'Brien?

  Would you, would you take me out to the clubs?

• 19:16Speaker 03

  Yes, of course.

• 19:17Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, do you go to the clubs?

• 19:19Speaker 03

  Of course, I'll take you. Um, back in Rabat, not much.

• 19:24Conan O'Brien?

  You don't go to the clubs much in Rabat?

• 19:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:26Conan O'Brien?

  We're talking about-

• 19:27Speaker 03

  The clubs, it's, it's more like Marrakech. There are a lot of better clubs, so we can go, we can go to Marrakech.

• 19:33Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, oh, so suddenly, suddenly you're all about Rabat. But then when it's time to go to the clubs, you say we have to go to Marrakech, cuz that's where it's at.

• 19:43Speaker 03

  I'm, I'm just, I'm just stating the facts. Clubs in, in Marrakech are better.

• 19:49Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, I've always heard that. I've always heard, when people say to me, do you wanna go to, hit the clubs in Rabat or Marrakech? I always say, dude, Marrakech.

• 19:56Speaker 03

  No, Marrakech, all the way.

• 19:58Conan O'Brien?

  How would I, how would I do in the clubs, in Marrakech? Just in terms of would people would people embrace me? Would we have a good time? I don't mean physically embrace me. And of course, that can't happen. Um, I've been told the lawyers. But but if I go into the clubs, uh, would people be happy to see me? Would they? What would happen if I went to a?

• 20:17Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 20:18Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I don't know.

• 20:19Speaker 03

  Like the the vibes there are just, um, the people there are very nice. They're very hospitable. So I think everyone would embrace you, whether it's in Rabat, uh, Marrakech, Casablanca, everywhere in Morocco, you would be met with open arms.

• 20:35Conan O'Brien?

  That's very nice. I like that. I like it. Uh, sometimes I encounter, you know, people who are hostile, um, or who find me, uh, physically abhorrent, but, uh, but I like it when people are friendly. That's very nice.

• 20:48Speaker 03

  No, I think people are very friendly in Morocco. Even if they, even if people don't speak English, they will try and communicate with you with whatever they can. So people are very friendly. But in, I think in the big cities such as Rabat, Casablanca, or Marrakech, a lot of people speak now English. So I don't think you would have a problem with communicating with, uh, other people.

• 21:13Conan O'Brien?

  Yes. Well, that's good to know. And and tell me, what do you, uh, what are your plans for the future? What do you aspire to, Yousra? You know, what, uh, what's what's the big picture for Yousra?

• 21:25Speaker 03

  Okay. So well, now with just finishing up my masters, I'm looking for a job ideally in Paris. So I think maybe for the next five years, I'm planning to stay in Paris and see, um, I don't know, see what life has for me. But in the long run, I'll probably go back to my country.

• 21:50Conan O'Brien?

  You go back in the long run? Yeah.

• 21:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:53Conan O'Brien?

  What what is your favorite thing to do when you go home to Morocco? You're going to visit your parents, obviously, your family. What do you like to do? What are some of the things that that you enjoy? Maybe I could go along with you on one of those.

• 22:06Speaker 03

  I eat a lot of food. So if you come to Morocco, I I bet you will gonna gain like five pounds. And after, uh, the other thing that I like to do is I like to go to hair salons and spas.

• 22:20Conan O'Brien?

  Oh.

• 22:21Speaker 03

  Because here in France, it's very expensive.

• 22:24Conan O'Brien?

  Right.

• 22:25Speaker 03

  While in Morocco, you can get the same quality of service with a fraction of the price. So I like to get my nails done, my hair, like to have like a relaxing spa day. And I think, based on your remotes, I think you enjoy spa days.

• 22:39Conan O'Brien?

  I do. I went with Steven Young.

• 22:41Speaker 03

  You do.

• 22:41Conan O'Brien?

  To a, to a spa.

• 22:42Speaker 03

  That's my favorite remote, by the way.

• 22:44Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, well, um.

• 22:46Speaker 03

  And I, and in Morocco, we have a similar experience with the scrubbing.

• 22:52Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, so I could get a scrubbing in Morocco?

• 22:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, you can get a scrubbing in a, in a, we call it a hammam. You can get a scrubbing and a massage. Uh, the massage is just for, for men. Us women, we do not get, we just get a scrub.

• 23:07Conan O'Brien?

  Wait, why don't women get a, why, why do women not get massages?

• 23:11Speaker 03

  Because the massages for men are very violent. They're not a relaxing experience.

• 23:16Conan O'Brien?

  Wait a minute, oh, no, so, hold on a second. Um, Yousef, you're saying that, uh, uh, I could come to Morocco, you would take me to a spa where you would, uh, invite me to have a violent massage?

• 23:28Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 23:29Conan O'Brien?

  When you say violent, what do you, how violent?

• 23:31Speaker 03

  Because you said you want to try an authentic experience in Urbaat. I'm not gonna take you to a fancy spa, like a typical spa where you can get.

• 23:40Conan O'Brien?

  I don't want that. I don't want that. I want to have the real experience, yes.

• 23:44Speaker 03

  So the real experience are these public, uh, baths, uh, all over the country. Well, you can go and you can have like a scrub and a, it's like, it's, the person that gives you a massage, they think they're a chiropractor for some reason, so they like to just like crack all of your body, all of your bones.

• 24:05Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, oh, that sounds, that, I don't think that's a massage. Um, that sounds like, no, no, that sounds like I'm gonna be lured into a room and they're gonna beat the shit out of you. Yeah, that's, that's what you're describing. Yeah, that's.

• 24:17Speaker 03

  That's more like it.

• 24:18Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, well, that sounds fun.

• 24:20Speaker 03

  You'll come out, you'll come out of it very like relaxed and relieved and you can have.

• 24:24Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, relieved that it's over, yes. That tends to happen when it beat, when you, when you stop beating someone, they're quite relieved that the, the beating is over. And so what about?

• 24:35Speaker 03

  You get to enjoy a mint tea, so.

• 24:39Conan O'Brien?

  You earned it. Okay, so after my violent beating at the hands of these men, Yes. Uh, I'm going to have a mint tea. All right, well, that sounds like something we could do together. I would like to go to a spa with you. Because, um, Okay, perfect. You know, I am very tense, a tense person. Um, I have a lot of tension in my shoulders. You've always noticed that. Yes, you do. I carry my shoulders very, very... It's like a, it's like a rock. Concrete, yeah. A lot of dense, dense muscle. Very muscular man. Oh, I wasn't talking about muscles. No, that's kind of the way we... Talking about the tension. Well, either way. No, it's not either way.

• 25:12Speaker 04

  muscle-ified anxiety.

• 25:13Conan O'Brien?

  They're two completely different things. Yeah.

• 25:15Speaker 04

  Oh, that's a lot of, uh...

• 25:16Conan O'Brien?

  Not much. I didn't feel much. Built up shoulders. Muscle. Muscles. Not at all. Muscle shoulders. Is there a lot of muttering into microphones in Rabat? Just curious if that's a thing. Um, well, listen, I think this sounds, uh, really fun and I like you. I do hope that we cross paths at some point. You seem like a very nice person. I hope that too. And I know I was kidding around a lot at the beginning, but I know that you're going to do great tomorrow. You're going to, you're going to... Thank you so much. You're going to get your degree. It's going to go very well. And, uh, I'm happy for you. And, uh, I, I, you seem like a very cool person. So, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens, but you never know.

• 25:58Conan O'Brien?

  Maybe one of these days you and I will be roaming the streets of Rabat, going into very small alleys, uh, eating... That would be the dream. Eating very, very spicy food. Uh, and then going to a room where men will beat me to death. That sounds like a good time. Sounds perfect. Followed by a mint tea. Sounds like a good... All right, well, thank you so much. It was really good talking to you. Okay. Thank you so much. Bye. Bye.
