0:42 Conan O'Brien? This episode of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend is sponsored by Hershey's. Guys, I'm gonna ask you a question. What better way is there to make summer memories than having smores with Hershey's Milk Chocolate? None that I can think of.
0:52 Speaker 01 There's nothing.
0:53 Conan O'Brien? Toasted marshmallows, melted Hershey's chocolate, crunchy graham crackers. The classic taste brings family and friends together for ooey, gooey, good times. And I'm saying that with a straight face.
1:03 Speaker 01 Yeah.
1:04 Conan O'Brien? And a college diploma, ooey, gooey, good times. Make smore memories. See what I did? This summer with Hershey's Milk Chocolate.
1:15 Speaker 02 Summer Smores with Conan and the Chill Chums. A six-part series with Conan O'Brien, Sonam Mufassian, and Matt Gourley. Let's get started.
1:25 Conan O'Brien? Hey, Conan O'Brien here, and welcome back to Summer Smores 2025, baby. Outside and feeling alive. What? And that's no jive. Okay, what? And sometimes I get the hives. Um, I love that actor whose last name is Clive. Are you talking about Clive Owen, the one with the first name of Clive? Yes, I was. Okay. Yes, I was. That's the sad part. Let me tell you something, as incoherent as I am in studio, I'm worse when we get outside. I like it. I want to tell everyone where we are. Uh, we are, this is the first for us, it's daytime.
2:00 Speaker 01 Yeah.
2:01 Conan O'Brien? We traditionally do Summer S'mores at night.
2:03 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
2:04 Conan O'Brien? Uh, we now thought, hey, let's do one in the day and see if there's a different energy. And we are in a very special place that I didn't even know existed. We are in the backyard at the headquarters for the Conan Oxford.
2:18 Conan O'Brien? The ever-growing international conglomerate known as Team Coco. Yes, Spectre. We are an octopus, and if there were more than one, I'd be octopi, of course. We've been over this. That's not true. Shut up. Okay. Shut up.
2:32 Speaker 01 It's not.
2:33 Conan O'Brien? Hey, here's my new improv guy. Yeah. Shut up, shut up. Okay. Shut up. Okay. Shut up. Okay. Let's do a scene together. Okay. Come in the door and say what's going on. Hi. Shut up. You shut up. Shut up. You shut up. Shut up. You shut up. You shut up. You shut up. And scene. Yay, they broke through the wall, a new kind of improv. I brought Citizens Brigade out of work. So, I don't go outside the studio much. Because my foe is the sun.
2:57 Speaker 01 Yeah.
2:58 Conan O'Brien? Or as I call him, Old Soul.
3:03 Conan O'Brien? That fiery ball of hydrogen in the sky. I don't love the sun, as you know, I'm kind of a necromancer, I'm the undead.
3:11 Speaker 01 Right.
3:11 Conan O'Brien? I like to be entombed within my little studios and podcast places. And so, to come outside is a bold move, but we have an ally.
3:21 Speaker 01 Yeah.
3:21 Conan O'Brien? L.L. Bean. Yeah. L.L. Bean supplied these incredible umbrellas, which are making me feel safe outdoors.
3:29 Speaker 01 That's good.
3:30 Conan O'Brien? Now, I had heard of umbrellas, I've been told about umbrellas, but these are apparently top of the line. They're great, and they're completely providing total UV protection, so I'm outside for the first time in years.
3:43 Speaker 01 Yeah.
3:44 Conan O'Brien? What do you mean?
3:44 Speaker 01 That's, that's good.
3:45 Conan O'Brien? Yeah. Sona, you're adding so much to today's podcast.
3:49 Speaker 01 I know.
3:50 Conan O'Brien? You're head to toe in dark clothing on a pretty sunny day. Very lightweight clothing. Yeah? You know. A full jacket, it's gotta be warmer, it's gotta be mid-eighties right now.
4:01 Speaker 01 It's corduroy.
4:01 Conan O'Brien? Can't take any chances. It's very light, this is a very light jacket, of course, t-shirt that I happen to love, which is a California bear, playing the electric guitar.
4:11 Speaker 01 Yeah.
4:11 Conan O'Brien? And he's got Ray-Bans on, or sunglasses of some kind, I don't know. Speaking of sunglasses, Sona, your sunglasses look great.
4:19 Speaker 01 Thank you, they are L.L. Bean.
4:21 Conan O'Brien? Are they really?
4:22 Speaker 01 They really are.
4:22 Conan O'Brien? I didn't know that when I asked you, he said lying. What, what, they are, I didn't know L.L. Bean even made sunglasses.
4:29 Speaker 01 No, they, I didn't either, and then, right before we were gonna record, I grabbed these and I put them on, I loved them.
4:36 Conan O'Brien? You are a bit of a shoplifter. I grabbed some sunglasses and took them.
4:41 Speaker 01 Well, things are laying around. I'm gonna, I'm gonna take them.
4:44 Conan O'Brien? That's why you've been kicked out of many museums. The, um, everything here, the umbrellas, uh, this, uh, these, these mugs that we're drinking out of.
4:54 Speaker 01 Yeah.
4:54 Conan O'Brien? I mean, Gourley, uh, was, there's a cooler over there, but it's got some cold ones in it.
4:58 Speaker 01 We could put our feet up, right?
5:00 Conan O'Brien? Sure. It's chill, it's, we're the chill chums.
5:02 Speaker 01 That's right.
5:02 Conan O'Brien? If you can't put your feet up, who can?
5:04 Speaker 01 Yeah.
5:04 Conan O'Brien? It's summer S'mores. Uh, summer S'mores is back. We're outside. We're in, uh, the cool little, um, sort of grassy area behind my, uh, my podcast, my sort of Stark Industries.
5:18 Speaker 01 Have you ever been back here?
5:20 Conan O'Brien? I said before, not really.
5:21 Speaker 01 Oh, okay.
5:22 Conan O'Brien? Um.
5:23 Speaker 01 My dog's peed here a couple of times.
5:24 Conan O'Brien? I can tell.
5:25 Speaker 01 Yeah.
5:25 Conan O'Brien? I'm getting that sort of, uh, harsh ammonia smell.
5:28 Speaker 01 Ah.
5:29 Conan O'Brien? I can tell they had asparagus. Oh.
5:31 Speaker 01 What?
5:32 Conan O'Brien? What's that?
5:34 Conan O'Brien? Okay. Guys, feel free to jump in at any time or I'll just carry the whole show. Uh, anyway, I thank, uh, thanks to, oh, and these chairs are LL Bean, great back support.
5:42 Speaker 01 I'm taking all of this stuff, by the way. No, I'm, I'm not even joking.
5:45 Conan O'Brien? She's already brokered this deal before we even started.
5:47 Speaker 01 Yeah.
5:48 Conan O'Brien? She gets to keep all this.
5:48 Speaker 01 Oh, you know, my, my house burned down.
5:51 Conan O'Brien? You lost your house.
5:52 Speaker 01 Yeah.
5:53 Conan O'Brien? Uh, in the, as did many people, in the Altadena fire.
5:56 Speaker 01 Yeah.
5:56 Conan O'Brien? And you have, you lived with your parents for a while.
5:59 Speaker 01 Mm-hmm.
5:59 Conan O'Brien? Now you've moved into, uh, a new place.
6:02 Speaker 01 Yeah.
6:03 Conan O'Brien? Still figuring out what you're gonna do with the old Altadena property?
6:06 Speaker 01 Yeah, well, we're gonna rebuild it. We know that.
6:08 Conan O'Brien? Would you like me to rebuild it?
6:09 Speaker 01 Absolutely not.
6:10 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
6:10 Speaker 01 I, I don't think I've ever seen you hold a hammer.
6:13 Conan O'Brien? Never have, but I like to try. I will build the, um, the sort of main structure of the house. No, that's not a good idea.
6:20 Speaker 01 No.
6:21 Conan O'Brien? We're gonna do it and we're gonna record it and monetize it.
6:23 Speaker 01 That's a hard no for me. I mean, I would, I would trust Gourley to build it. No, no. That's a terrible idea.
6:31 Conan O'Brien? Well.
6:31 Speaker 01 Well, yeah, maybe, you know what? Conan will try it.
6:34 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
6:34 Speaker 01 Like, oh, I'll try, you'll try, um, like scuba diving. Or you'll try playing beach volleyball.
6:41 Conan O'Brien? I die in the second season.
6:42 Speaker 01 Okay.
6:43 Conan O'Brien? Our first episode, second season. And it's just playing vol- it's just not even playing volleyball, it's just going out to play volleyball and there's sunlight. Uh, but these, these chairs are great. You're gonna take everything-
6:54 Speaker 01 I'm gonna take everything.
6:54 Conan O'Brien? Because your place isn't furnished, right?
6:56 Speaker 01 No, I mean, we're, we're in the process of furnishing it. A, I like it, they're pretty, and B, I just, I just want them. So I'm just gonna take them and, um-
7:06 Conan O'Brien? Wow, this is good.
7:06 Speaker 01 So thank you to LL Bean and these sunglasses too.
7:09 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
7:10 Speaker 01 And this-
7:10 Conan O'Brien? Do we know that we're allowed to keep this stuff?
7:12 Speaker 01 I don't know. Um-
7:13 Conan O'Brien? You're just gonna take it.
7:14 Speaker 01 I'm just gonna take it.
7:15 Speaker 02 Now they have to give it to you, I mean, that's not-
7:16 Conan O'Brien? They have to now.
7:17 Speaker 01 What are they gonna do? Is, is Bean gonna come and take it from my trunk?
7:21 Conan O'Brien? Excuse me, it's LL Bean.
7:22 Speaker 01 I know, but I'm just-
7:23 Conan O'Brien? Only I can call them Bean.
7:25 Speaker 02 It's Lost Leader Bean, he'll give it to you.
7:26 Conan O'Brien? Hey Bean!
7:28 Speaker 01 I don't know, in my head-
7:29 Conan O'Brien? Bean!
7:30 Speaker 01 LL is one guy and Bean is another guy.
7:32 Speaker 02 You're thinking of Abercrombie and Fitch or something?
7:34 Conan O'Brien? When LL met Bean, a new magic had been formed. It's not Wilbur or Wright. Uh, but it's really nice back here, I have not appreciated. We have a lovely spot back here.
7:48 Speaker 02 This is gorgeous.
7:49 Speaker 01 Yeah, it's really nice. We should hang out here more often.
7:51 Conan O'Brien? Well, I should hang out here more often. I think it'd be nice if there was like a little statue or something. I think it would be cool to have, no, seriously.
7:58 Speaker 01 Of what?
7:58 Conan O'Brien? I don't know, like a Buddha or something cool and calming, you know?
8:02 Speaker 01 I thought you meant a statue of you for a second.
8:04 Conan O'Brien? No, no, I'm, you know, I know I do bits about-
8:05 Speaker 02 We should get a little fountain statue of you peeing in the fountain like a little baby Conan, you know?
8:09 Conan O'Brien? So it would have a baby penis.
8:11 Speaker 01 Yeah.
8:11 Speaker 02 Yes, it would.
8:12 Speaker 01 Teeny, teeny, tiny.
8:14 Conan O'Brien? It's your favorite thing to do, is joke. Because you, you drew me with a microphallus on the album, and you were so delighted with that.
8:23 Speaker 02 I still am, and I call him like I've seen him, we've shared a shower, you know?
8:27 Conan O'Brien? We have never shared a shower. Trust me, if you saw what I was packing, you wouldn't fit in that shower. Okay?
8:34 Speaker 02 Well, let's get a statue you made, and maybe it can be all pipe, you know, it's just a little guy.
8:38 Conan O'Brien? Alright.
8:39 Speaker 01 God!
8:40 Speaker 02 It's a little guy with a-
8:41 Conan O'Brien? So the water's just going right into the ground.
8:45 Conan O'Brien? It's a penis that's jammed into the ground and it goes four feet down. Waters the whole aquifer.
8:53 Speaker 02 You didn't think that was coming?
8:54 Conan O'Brien? All of Larchmont is irrigated by Conan. Didn't take us long. Little friend. I love there's some nice flowers here. What kind of flowers are those? Are those? Is that bougainvillea? I just wanted, I don't really know my flowers. It's terrible. I had to clean up a lot of that when I was a kid. What's that? That's why I know that. My job as a kid was to do the work on our yard with the bougainvillea and it was, that stuff grows like a weed. It's a nightmare. Can I say one thing that bothers me aesthetically? The back, when we first moved into this place and converted it to a podcast studio, we had to run a ton of cable and wire through because we're a serious podcast. So they have all these, uh, what do you call them? Conduit. Well conduit. Thank you. Thank you very much, Eduardo. You're welcome.
9:37 Conan O'Brien? And I want to acknowledge that you're here as well. You're, god, he's a good-looking guy.
9:41 Speaker 01 Oh, okay.
9:41 Conan O'Brien? He is. He looks fantastic. Uh, he's fit?
9:45 Speaker 01 Yeah, we are a good-looking bunch.
9:47 Conan O'Brien? Um, I'm just acknowledging Eduardo for now.
9:50 Speaker 01 Oh, okay.
9:51 Conan O'Brien? And then we're gonna sprinkle out acknowledgements as we go.
9:53 Speaker 01 We'll work here.
9:53 Conan O'Brien? But anyway, uh, conduit.
9:55 Speaker 01 Easy on the eyes.
9:56 Conan O'Brien? Okay, there's conduit. And there's all this conduit on the back of the building and it's, uh, very garish, electrical conduit. It's all over the place because there's a ton of wiring running in the building. And I saw it and I went, oh, that's too bad. And the plan was, oh, don't worry, those are instantly gonna be covered in vines and flowers.
10:15 Speaker 01 Yeah.
10:16 Conan O'Brien? Cause they just planted them. That was three years ago and nothing. They're still there. These meek little vines are going, "Not sure I'll grow this year."
10:25 Speaker 01 Can I, can I just say something?
10:27 Conan O'Brien? Yeah, well, just say it. You don't have to say, can I just say?
10:29 Speaker 01 If either Matt or I brought up electrical cables.
10:32 Conan O'Brien? You're so right.
10:32 Speaker 01 The way you would just shit on us.
10:35 Conan O'Brien? I know.
10:36 Speaker 01 You just talked so much about electrical cables.
10:39 Conan O'Brien? I didn't just talk about it.
10:39 Speaker 01 And conduits. You were like, what's the word for it? Oh, thank you, Eduardo. It's conduit.
10:44 Conan O'Brien? I didn't just talk. I opined.
10:46 Speaker 01 Nobody can see these.
10:48 Conan O'Brien? That was wasted real estate in audio podcasting. You know what's wasted real estate? A nice grassy lawn where you're looking at conduit. That's wasted real estate. This could be a beautiful place to have a dry Chardonnay, some kind of Barolo. You could sit back here with a glass of Chianti, and you could enjoy the nice nature that's back here. Instead, I mean, it looks like we're powering 15 iron lungs.
11:19 Speaker 02 You really find the best in everything, don't you?
11:21 Speaker 01 Yeah, you do.
11:22 Conan O'Brien? Well, I'm just saying, I see the world and I see a world that can be improved.
11:25 Speaker 02 Look at this gorgeous pergola with this, like, what is that, like a wisteria vine or something?
11:29 Conan O'Brien? The pergola is there, and all the wisteria is there to cover up massive satellite dishes that I put up. We have a...
11:36 Speaker 01 That you put up?
11:37 Conan O'Brien? I put up.
11:38 Speaker 01 Alright.
11:38 Conan O'Brien? I had it installed, and we can return missile fire if we need to.
11:44 Speaker 01 Oh, good.
11:44 Conan O'Brien? This place is ready to go.
11:46 Speaker 01 Okay, alright. Sometimes I think someone can just walk in from the street.
11:50 Conan O'Brien? Well, the problem is, they can walk in the street. The missiles are to attack people in Cincinnati. These, I saw some posts there recently that I did not appreciate.
11:59 Speaker 02 About you?
12:00 Conan O'Brien? Yeah, but no, people can wander in.
12:02 Speaker 01 That's cool.
12:03 Conan O'Brien? Gates often unlocked. Sorry to get that out there.
12:09 Conan O'Brien? This episode is brought to you by LL Bean, but the chipper mood is sponsored by some time in the sun. I have to say, when the weather's nice, I like to get on my bike and ride. I really do. I love riding my bike. Yeah.
12:23 Speaker 01 That's cool.
12:23 Conan O'Brien? It's a very small girl's bike.
12:25 Speaker 01 Oh.
12:26 Conan O'Brien? From, yeah.
12:27 Speaker 01 Does it have a basket in the front?
12:28 Conan O'Brien? It has a basket.
12:29 Speaker 02 And a banana seat?
12:29 Conan O'Brien? It has a banana seat. It's got those little streamers on it. It's sparkly. I love it. With a range of quality outdoor gear from LL Bean, getting outside can be enjoyable for everyone. Just because you're outside doesn't mean you can't be organized. The LL Bean Campsite Organizer has three shelves for keeping everything you need, like picnic gear, grilling tools, or snacks. You can keep your files in there for when you're camping and you want to go over your filing system.
12:53 Speaker 02 I only do my taxes when I go camping.
12:56 Conan O'Brien? I've seen you. And for everything you want to keep ice cold, the LL Bean Base Camp Cooler is the most durable and effective they've ever made. This extra spacious cooler is designed to keep food and drinks cold for up to $190. 96 hours, man, you can crack a cold one days after you've been in the hottest weather. Thank you, LL Bean. Yeah.

13:31 Conan O'Brien? Hey, time for a shout out to Hershey's and a huge thanks to them for sponsoring Summer Smores. You have to admit, kind of a perfect sponsor for Summer Smores.

Try Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Caramel today. S'more more.
14:56 Speaker 02 We should say, because we're out in the sun here, we do have a special guest and we need to make sure that your needs are tended to. And maybe we could bring that guest in.
15:03 Conan O'Brien? Gina Llobridita.
15:04 Speaker 02 Yes, that's right.
15:06 Conan O'Brien? When I go back with a reference.
15:08 Speaker 01 Oh my god.
15:10 Conan O'Brien? What's that? So anyway, to have my needs tended to, I'm told, he's a great man. He's been my personal physician since I met him several years ago in one of the only phone booths that still works in the Los Angeles region. Let's get him in here, Dr. Arroyo.
15:27 Speaker 03 Yay.
15:29 Conan O'Brien? Always better with Arroyo.
15:30 Speaker 03 Oh hi, we've met, okay. Hi, hello, Con, how are you?
15:34 Conan O'Brien? Dr. Arroyo, good to see you again. And again, everywhere I go, people ask me about you because of your presence in my hot ones. Where you ministered to me, you cared for me.
15:44 Speaker 03 I think I saved your life.
15:45 Conan O'Brien? You probably did, only to prolong it and make it even worse.
15:49 Speaker 03 Yes.
15:50 Conan O'Brien? You're here to offer me advice?
15:53 Speaker 03 Yes.
15:54 Conan O'Brien? Here's the question, I consult you about everything. It's hard to find you, you don't have an office.
16:00 Speaker 03 I don't have an office, it makes it harder to get served.
16:06 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
16:07 Speaker 03 So I just, I'm kind of a loose cannon, I roam the streets.
16:10 Conan O'Brien? You have asked me, because I try and make an appointment with you. There's someone who says they're your assistant, but it sounds suspiciously like you.
16:18 Speaker 03 Oh, does it sound like this? Hello?
16:22 Conan O'Brien? Yes!
16:23 Speaker 03 That would be...
16:24 Conan O'Brien? You're tough to nail down.
16:26 Speaker 03 Yes.
16:27 Conan O'Brien? But, and often when we meet, you don't have an office.
16:32 Speaker 03 I don't have an office.
16:33 Conan O'Brien? And you have met me in a parking garage. Usually you prefer a higher level.
16:38 Speaker 03 Yes, exactly, exactly. I get a workout that way, and I meet you in the open. And I'm here to answer any questions you have about the sun, about your exposure to it.
16:52 Conan O'Brien? That's what I wanted to ask you about. We are here, we're shooting outside, we're very well protected by these L.L. Bean umbrellas. That would probably block a lot of the damaging UV light. But do you want to have a look at my skin and see what you think?
17:02 Speaker 03 Well, let's, first of all, let's just see how hot the sun is today.
17:07 Conan O'Brien? You're using a... Wait, you're using a...
17:09 Speaker 03 It's pretty hot.
17:10 Conan O'Brien? What are you... What reading are you getting there?
17:12 Speaker 03 Well, it only goes up to a billion.
17:13 Conan O'Brien? Okay. Yeah. Wow, that's amazing. And those are usually... I see they use those at the doctor's office to take temperature.
17:20 Speaker 03 Exactly.
17:21 Conan O'Brien? You are recording the temperature of the sun with that?
17:23 Speaker 03 Yes, yes. And by the way, you mentioned that the sun is your enemy.
17:28 Conan O'Brien? Yes.
17:29 Speaker 03 It is not your enemy. It's... Your sun is your friend who wants to kill you.
17:32 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
17:33 Speaker 03 It's a...
17:34 Conan O'Brien? A frenemy.
17:35 Speaker 03 A frenemy, exactly, exactly. We need the sun.
17:37 Conan O'Brien? So, what do you recommend, doctor, with... Please tell me you went to medical school.
17:42 Speaker 03 I did go to an accredited... It was accredited at the time.
17:45 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
17:45 Speaker 03 Um, yes, I did go to a medical school.
17:47 Conan O'Brien? And what is on that site now? That was once your medical school?
17:50 Speaker 03 Oh, uh, it's, uh... Well, there's no... There's... Yeah. They had to take the whole site down. It was on, um... It was on Juno.com? I don't know if anybody remembers. Yeah.
18:00 Conan O'Brien? Yeah, okay. Anyway, the point is, and I think I'm making a good point here. One must look after their skin.
18:06 Speaker 03 Absolutely.
18:07 Conan O'Brien? Always consult your personal physician or dermatologist, or in your case, um, clearly a sham artist. Uh... What's that?
18:15 Speaker 03 I have a lot of bravado. I have a lot of confidence. And I think that goes a long way in the medical profession.
18:21 Conan O'Brien? What do you think about my skin?
18:23 Speaker 03 Well, as we all know, the skin is the largest organ in the body.
18:27 Conan O'Brien? Second-largest cha-ching.
18:30 Speaker 03 Oh, God. Right, right. When it's engorged with food, the intestines can be big. But in this case, I think the skin is larger.
18:40 Conan O'Brien? You're too royal.
18:44 Conan O'Brien? So, uh, but...
18:45 Speaker 03 I think barrier protection.
18:46 Conan O'Brien? Barrier protection.
18:47 Speaker 03 Barrier protection.
18:48 Conan O'Brien? So what would you recommend I apply to my skin?
18:50 Speaker 03 Probably a sunscreen of a high SPF. Of course, the, uh... This... I happen to have some here, and we can just put some on. The top of your hand here. Just, uh, put some here.
19:01 Conan O'Brien? You're using a small spatula. Now, I know this brand. You have to take off the cap, and you have to, uh... Squeeze it on. Yeah, exactly.
19:10 Speaker 03 This is a sterilized spatula.
19:13 Speaker 01 Oh, you took it out of your pocket?
19:15 Speaker 03 That's the on-sterile pocket.
19:16 Speaker 01 Oh.
19:17 Speaker 03 And this is the sterile pocket.
19:18 Conan O'Brien? We couldn't hear you. That was the American Medical Association helicopter.
19:23 Speaker 03 Dropping information leaflets to stay away from me. I understand.
19:27 Conan O'Brien? Listen, you use a spatula to apply sunscreen?
19:31 Speaker 03 It's more sanitary that way.
19:33 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
19:33 Speaker 03 Okay.
19:34 Conan O'Brien? I don't think. Okay, I've never thought of that.
19:35 Speaker 03 I already rinsed it. I had scrambled eggs this morning, but this is, we're gonna have, so we're just gonna put it on there and that creates a barrier that will protect you from the sun.
19:46 Conan O'Brien? That is a lot of sunscreen.
19:47 Speaker 03 It is. Well, you need a lot of sunscreen because you don't have any melanin.
19:50 Conan O'Brien? I have no melanin.
19:51 Speaker 03 Right, so that's gonna be, so I'm gonna leave this here for later and you can just apply it to the rest of your face, to any part of the skin that's exposed.
19:59 Conan O'Brien? You just, you didn't even do the fingers, you didn't do any, you just put it right here on top of the, opposite the palm.
20:05 Speaker 03 Yeah, I like that.
20:06 Conan O'Brien? Below the knuckles.
20:07 Speaker 03 Yes, I like that.
20:07 Conan O'Brien? You like it aesthetically.
20:08 Speaker 03 Aesthetically, I like, I like this sort of a panda look. A little white, a little darker.
20:13 Conan O'Brien? Yeah, okay.
20:14 Speaker 03 Yeah.
20:15 Conan O'Brien? I appreciate your counsel.
20:18 Speaker 03 Thank you.
20:18 Conan O'Brien? I appreciate your friendship.
20:20 Speaker 03 Sure.
20:20 Conan O'Brien? I appreciate your absurdly low rates.
20:23 Speaker 03 Yes.
20:24 Conan O'Brien? It's hard to believe. I mean, I spent, I think the last visit I was with you for an hour and 10 minutes. You ate a lot, it was a restaurant, but you charged nothing afterwards.
20:34 Speaker 03 That's right, that's right. I keep my fees low and I keep moving. That's my MO. But Aaron, if you could bring in that, this is a little life hack. I don't know if you're going to be out in the sun this summer, if you're going to the beach or something, just remember that the sun is a star. And like many stars, it's a vain son of a bitch. So what we do is we reflect the sun back at itself, so it's checking itself out and it has less time for you. That's the idea. Boy, that was funnier in rehearsal.
21:11 Speaker 03 Anyway, now we have a mirror.
21:12 Conan O'Brien? That did well at rehearsal?
21:14 Speaker 03 I didn't rehearse that.
21:15 Conan O'Brien? I can't believe there was a rehearsal for this.
21:17 Speaker 03 There was no rehearsal.
21:18 Speaker 02 But did you notice this star just got fixed by his own gaze in the mirror?
21:21 Conan O'Brien? I do, listen, I get the joke that I'm a star and I'm vain.
21:25 Speaker 02 It is a joke.
21:27 Conan O'Brien? And that was the bit.
21:28 Speaker 03 That was the bit.
21:29 Conan O'Brien? I think it didn't land because people see me as a humble man.
21:32 Speaker 03 Ah.
21:33 Conan O'Brien? A man grounded, a man who is anything but star-like. I just, I'm like a simple monk wandering the earth.
21:43 Speaker 03 Oh my god.
21:44 Conan O'Brien? Spreading seeds of joy and wisdom, so.
21:45 Speaker 03 I wish I was a therapist.
21:47 Conan O'Brien? Okay, I wish you were too. Well, you can go to that medical school and have it shut down.
21:52 Speaker 03 Yes.
21:52 Conan O'Brien? You're a, you're a fine man, Doctor Arroyo.
21:54 Speaker 03 Thank you, thank you.
21:55 Conan O'Brien? And we will not judge you on whether this bit did well or did poorly. Well, I'm assuming we're gonna cut it in editing. Oh, no. And I will look like a rose.
22:06 Conan O'Brien? I will continue. A Mr. Or, I'm sorry.
22:09 Speaker 03 Doctor.
22:10 Conan O'Brien? Doctor.
22:10 Speaker 03 Thank you. Doctor is my, my birth name. I was Christian. Doctor Arroyo. That's how I can get away with it.
22:16 Conan O'Brien? Your Christian name is Doctor Arroyo.
22:18 Speaker 03 My Christian name is Doctor.
22:19 Conan O'Brien? You are a monster. Um, look what I'm doing. I'm spreading what you did there to here.
22:23 Speaker 03 Yes, yes.
22:24 Conan O'Brien? And this is, I think, a very wise thing I'm doing is.
22:27 Speaker 03 Perfect.
22:27 Conan O'Brien? Um, but Doctor Arroyo, thank you very much. I know you're busy.
22:32 Speaker 03 Yes.
22:32 Conan O'Brien? He said sarcastically. Maybe we'll see you later on.
22:35 Speaker 03 Uh, sounds good.
22:36 Conan O'Brien? At Summer Smalls.
22:36 Speaker 03 I'm always here. I have, I have an appointment.
22:39 Conan O'Brien? Is that a Motorola flip phone?
22:40 Speaker 03 It's a Motorola flip phone, yes. It's the latest.
22:42 Conan O'Brien? You're getting a call from Gerald Ford? What's happening here?
22:44 Speaker 03 I have an appointment. I will see you.
22:46 Speaker 01 The latest. The latest from 1997.
22:52 Conan O'Brien? What, where are you going? You got, you got an appointment?
22:54 Speaker 03 I do.
22:55 Conan O'Brien? Yeah, okay.
22:56 Speaker 03 It was a very, a nice pleasure meeting all of you. Come again. I'm gonna need those sunglasses back, Sona.
23:01 Conan O'Brien? Would you take the, um.
23:02 Speaker 03 I will take the mirror.
23:03 Conan O'Brien? Take the mirror bit away and also, but leave the LL Bean tripod.
23:07 Speaker 03 Very good.
23:08 Conan O'Brien? No one makes a tripod like LL Bean.
23:10 Speaker 03 All right, see you at the next appointment. Cause I'm a little exposed here.
23:13 Conan O'Brien? Of course, of course.
23:14 Speaker 03 Thank you.
23:15 Conan O'Brien? Okay. Wow. That's the best I could do. You didn't even try to be inept. Alright. And, oh my god. That was Dr. Arroyo doing the best throw he could. Wow. That was. That was terrible. I hope there's no instant replay. Please show that again. I'm sure there's not an instant replay for that. There's no instant replay. To see that again and to know that Dr. Arroyo wasn't trying to do something funny.
23:37 Speaker 02 This, this is just cake frosting, by the way.
23:39 Conan O'Brien? I know. Yeah, it is. It is, it is. He stole that from a bakery. Somewhere there's a very sad wedding cake. Uh, Dr. Arroyo. Enjoy your summers, sir. Dr. Arroyo, I think I've said goodbye to you nine different times. Yes, I think so. I, I will see myself out. Like a fart in an elevator, get out of here. Alright, I will move on, uh, right now. Okay, thank you. Are those, are those for anybody, or?
23:59 Conan O'Brien? Uh, we're not talking about these yet. Okay, very good. That's gonna be a later segment. I see. I promise you, there will be food available. And, um, I'm sure your, your, your pockets are lined with tinfoil. Yes. Per usual. Yes. Oh, a lot of cold cuts in there now. Alright. Okay.
24:12 Speaker 01 Isn't that the sterile pocket?
24:14 Speaker 02 Well, he's got food in there.
24:15 Conan O'Brien? He's got sterile salami. Uh, well, it was nice to see Dr. Arroyo.
24:19 Speaker 01 I love him so much.
24:20 Speaker 02 I do too.
24:21 Conan O'Brien? He's, uh, he's, um, a terrible, terrible physician.
24:24 Speaker 01 He's really bad.
24:25 Conan O'Brien? He's very bad, but I keep him on. He's a wonderful man. And I can't wait till he has his own show.
24:29 Speaker 01 Oh, okay.
24:30 Conan O'Brien? Uh, so he doesn't come on ours. Um, but this is quite nice, I have to say. It's nice to be outside and... Lots of good things coming up here for this series. Do we? I don't know, I, I wanna say I, I'm gonna be honest. I didn't give this any thought. I, I think we all know that. I just came in and I'm sure you've been scheming and scheming and scheming.
24:46 Speaker 01 When is the alcohol coming out?
24:48 Conan O'Brien? That comes in the third episode of these four outside.
24:51 Speaker 01 Okay.
24:52 Conan O'Brien? Yeah. So we've got smores, we've got a game or two, we've got alcohol, we've got more Dr. Arroyo if we need it. Alright, if we need it. I need it. I, uh, I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be happier. Summer S'mores is here again, as you know, I get as, uh, giddy, um, as Satan. At a terrible tragedy, uh, I'm, I love it.
25:15 Speaker 01 Oh my god!
25:16 Conan O'Brien? What?
25:16 Speaker 01 What?
25:17 Conan O'Brien? I was just picturing Satan and he's like, everyone's really sad 'cause something bad happened.
25:20 Speaker 01 Yeah.
25:21 Conan O'Brien? And he's really happy.
25:21 Speaker 01 Oh, he's really, okay. I thought, 'cause a lot of people died and he's like, "I get to take people to hell."
25:26 Conan O'Brien? Well, it, it works anyway. Why are we talking about it? But this is you giddy?
25:30 Speaker 01 Yeah, I know, you seem very like, "Luh."
25:31 Conan O'Brien? I'm not giddy at all.
25:32 Speaker 01 Yeah.
25:32 Conan O'Brien? Those conduits are really getting you down. I don't know, it's the conduits draining me of my essential life. Force, uh, but I am happy to be here. If I've come across in any way as tired of summer S'mores or jaded about everything in life because I've reached such high highs.
25:48 Speaker 01 Okay.
25:48 Conan O'Brien? I apologize.
25:49 Speaker 02 Do you remember that last year at your place too? He was this way? He was a little like, a little cranky.
25:53 Speaker 01 You were sick last year.
25:54 Speaker 02 Yeah.
25:54 Speaker 01 You were.
25:55 Conan O'Brien? Was I?
25:55 Speaker 01 Yeah, you were sick last year and you were, you know.
25:58 Conan O'Brien? How sick was I? What did I have? I.
26:00 Speaker 01 You had like a cold.
26:01 Conan O'Brien? Oh.
26:02 Speaker 01 Like a, just a regular cold.
26:04 Conan O'Brien? I don't believe in going, oh no, I'm sick. I believe you tough it out.
26:08 Speaker 01 I, that is absolutely not you. You're very like, uh, I'm cold. I have a cold.
26:15 Conan O'Brien? Yes, that's.
26:15 Speaker 01 Give me medicine.
26:16 Conan O'Brien? That's the impression of me. I, look, I, there, I will take some medications.
26:20 Speaker 01 Medicine, yeah.
26:21 Conan O'Brien? I'll take medications even when I'm not sick. I love pills and powders.
26:24 Speaker 01 Okay.
26:25 Conan O'Brien? Potions and oils. Oh, you just lazily.
26:30 Conan O'Brien? You just, that was a summer S'mores rap sign if ever I've seen one.
26:35 Speaker 02 Blay made this.
26:36 Conan O'Brien? No, no, I'm saying you, I looked at you, there was a long pause and then you flipped it up and it was upside down in a lazy manner. And I think that set the tone for maybe our last summer S'mores. Who can say?
26:49 Speaker 02 This is exactly what it should be. We are now arriving at what summer S'mores should be, which is, because it used to be with Conan and the Chilchums.
26:56 Conan O'Brien? Is it not still?
26:57 Speaker 02 Well, it is, but we gotta remember to put the chill back in summer.
27:01 Speaker 01 What?
27:05 Speaker 01 What?
27:05 Conan O'Brien? I don't know what's happening.
27:06 Speaker 02 If you guys were chill enough, you'd go along with that, all right?
27:09 Speaker 01 Oh.
27:10 Conan O'Brien? Okay. Well, no one said this would be a good show.
27:14 Speaker 02 No, you're right about that.
27:15 Conan O'Brien? Asking way too much. Uh, I love that I'm staring at the garbage here.
27:18 Speaker 02 Jesus Christ, man.
27:20 Speaker 01 Talking about things no one can see, bro.
27:22 Conan O'Brien? I can see it. I'm looking right out. The gate's open.
27:25 Speaker 02 That's our garbage. Out. You're harshing our buzz.
27:27 Conan O'Brien? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I love it back here. It's wonderful. And I can't wait for all of our Team Coco fans to, uh, come back here when we invite them all to this very small space. Um, I'm, I'm gonna wrap it up for now. This has been episode two of Summer S'mores 2025. Now, you know what it's like. Once we first get outside, it starts off a little kinda chill and mellow and then it just starts to become a house of fire.
27:53 Speaker 01 It's when you give me alcohol. That's when, that's why you got, you guys keep pushing it, but we should just. Bring it out.
28:00 Speaker 02 We moved it up this year.
28:01 Speaker 01 Let's bring it out.
28:02 Conan O'Brien? Move it up even further.
28:03 Speaker 01 Okay.
28:03 Speaker 02 Well, I gotta go make it.
28:04 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
28:05 Speaker 02 We did it on the fourth episode last time. This time, we're going back to three.
28:07 Conan O'Brien? Maybe the fans want us to start earlier. I don't know. If only there was some way we could check in with the fans.
28:13 Speaker 01 Yeah.
28:13 Conan O'Brien? But this is pre-internet.
28:17 Speaker 02 Latest Motorola.
28:18 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
28:20 Conan O'Brien? So, we'll find out. But tune in to the next week for the third installment of Chill Chums 25. This is Conan O'Brien talking to you from the, well, the conduit-riddled backyard here at Team Coco. It's really, it's incredible, this facility. It's incredible. It goes 700 miles underground. It's amazing. So, we'll see you soon. And peace out. Be kind to those around you. What is life but a series of moments? And you have to enjoy each one.
28:53 Speaker 03 I'm sorry, but you've said goodbye at least 10 times.
28:55 Conan O'Brien? I'm sorry.
28:56 Speaker 03 So, I don't know how you can get on me about delaying my exit when you're doing... Okay.
29:04 Conan O'Brien? See you next time. Thank you, Dr. Royo. You saved my life.
