• 0:21Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 0:21Conan O'Brien?

  And I didn't get cash back, and I regret it now.

• 0:24Speaker 01

  Oh, okay. Well, that's a very thoughtful gift.

• 0:27Conan O'Brien?

  Do you wear a wig, or is that your hair?

• 0:29Speaker 01

  Absolutely not. It's definitely my hair. And so it's kind of insulting you would buy that gift for me.

• 0:34Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I'll just return it anyway, but I do wish I got cash back.

• 0:52Conan O'Brien?

  Ever invest in something that seemed incredible at first, but didn't live up to the hype?

• 0:56Speaker 01

  Yeah, like all the time.

• 0:57Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. I did that with an all-potato restaurant.

• 1:00Speaker 01

  Oh, no.

• 1:04Conan O'Brien?

  Marketers know that feeling. They optimize for the numbers that look great, like impressions, but then they don't see revenue. You know what I'm talking about, don't you, Sona?

• 1:12Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, all the time.

• 1:47Conan O'Brien?

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

• 1:50Speaker 03

  Hey.

• 1:50Conan O'Brien?

  Hi, Yasmina. How are you?

• 1:52Speaker 03

  I'm good. How are you guys?

• 1:53Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, we are doing great. I think we're, uh, all's well here. I am excited to be talking to you because I'm told you're from Morocco. Is that right?

• 2:03Speaker 03

  I am from Morocco, and I live in Brussels.

• 2:06Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, you live in Brussels? Okay.

• 2:08Speaker 03

  But I'm from Morocco.

• 2:09Conan O'Brien?

  You're from Morocco originally. And why did you go to Brussels? Is there a reason for that?

• 2:14Speaker 03

  Um, I went to Brussels because, um, medical school is cheap here.

• 2:19Conan O'Brien?

  Oh.

• 2:21Speaker 03

  And, uh...

• 2:23Speaker 03

  The weather is really bad. I'm not paying for my studies. I'm done with medical school. But I didn't pay, so I had to make the wise choice for my parents.

• 2:36Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, I think you did the right thing. But you, do you miss Morocco? Let's talk about Morocco. Are you from, where are you from in Morocco?

• 2:47Speaker 03

  So I'm from Marrakesh.

• 2:48Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, Marrakesh, okay. I've never been to Morocco. I've never been to Marrakesh. If you're familiar with me at all, I assume you are because you've called in. You listen to the podcast. You're familiar at all with the volume of work, the TV show, the clips.

• 3:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:05Conan O'Brien?

  Don't be a test.

• 3:06Speaker 03

  I'm aware, I'm aware of all the things.

• 3:09Conan O'Brien?

  Of all the things. You're aware of all the things, she said, filled with shame.

• 3:13Speaker 01

  Sad way to ask. Do you watch my show? Have you seen my show?

• 3:17Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Well, I'm trying to.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  Do you listen to my podcast? What do you like? What do you like that I do?

• 3:21Conan O'Brien?

  This is all leading up to something crucial.

• 3:24Speaker 03

  Yes, I know, I can feel it.

• 3:26Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, you can feel it.

• 3:28Speaker 03

  I'm very ominous, yeah.

• 3:29Conan O'Brien?

  It's very ominous, but it's, I ask for a reason, which is then if you're familiar with me, maybe you have an opinion on what would be like if I came to Marrakesh. Would I be a natural? Do you think I would blend in well in Marrakesh and Morocco?

• 3:46Speaker 03

  You'd be the tallest thing there.

• 3:50Conan O'Brien?

  Not even human. I'd be the tallest thing.

• 3:52Speaker 03

  You'd be the tallest everything.

• 3:54Conan O'Brien?

  Wow.

• 3:55Speaker 03

  You'd also be the whitest.

• 3:56Conan O'Brien?

  You don't have a mountain that's higher than six foot, four inches?

• 4:00Speaker 03

  No.

• 4:01Conan O'Brien?

  This is the mighty mountain. Greatest mountain we have is six foot two in its shoes.

• 4:07Speaker 03

  You'd be towering over everyone.

• 4:09Conan O'Brien?

  Wow, okay. Well, I've never been to a country where I'm the tallest thing, including all inanimate objects and mountain ranges. Okay, I'd be tall. Would I get along with the people in Marrakesh?

• 4:23Speaker 03

  I think you'd get along.

• 4:27Speaker 03

  People from Marrakesh tease a lot, so you wouldn't know whether they'd be laughing with you or teasing you. There's a very fine line between bullying and just joking around.

• 4:42Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, I sound like I'd be right at home. Yeah, I'd say you've found your people. Yeah, first of all, I don't care why people are laughing, as long as they're laughing. And if it's at me, I'm just as happy. And I grew up being bullied and bullying, so I think I'm ready to go to Marrakesh. And tell me about the culture. I mean, I want to learn about Marrakesh.

• 5:05Speaker 03

  Okay, so the culture, so there's the Moroccan culture and then there's the Marrakesh sort of vibe, which is much lighthearted than the rest of the cities.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  We're very cool, we're chill, we don't really take ourselves seriously, which is perfect for you, I'm guessing.

• 5:32Speaker 03

  And the culture is very open, to be honest. But then, I was in an American school, so that's a bit weird, because we had a little microcosm of people. But Marrakesh is very open to everything, so you'd be, you'd fit in perfectly. Just get maybe a little shorter than.

• 5:59Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, you're obsessed with my height? I think I can reach across this divide. I think it'll be okay.

• 6:07Speaker 03

  Like, I'll give you an example. If you were to wear what a traditional Moroccan man would wear, you'd wear this thing called a jalaba.

• 6:16Conan O'Brien?

  A jalaba?

• 6:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, and it's like a long sweater.

• 6:23Speaker 03

  And but you're so tall, it would fit like a miniskirt.

• 6:29Speaker 04

  I'd like to see that.

• 6:30Speaker 01

  I know.

• 6:31Conan O'Brien?

  So you so now I'm picturing myself walking through Marrakesh like through a bizarre a market. Are there markets there? I'm guessing that's my image in my head. Um, maybe just based on movies and things, but walking through a market and I'm wearing a long a miniskirt. And maybe high heels and I have a clutch, a clutch bag. And a little sassy hat.

• 6:55Speaker 03

  A nice like tan.

• 6:57Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 6:57Speaker 03

  With that.

• 6:57Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Um, wow, uh, and what's the food like? I mean, what kind of food would you see me eating there?

• 7:07Speaker 03

  Okay, so we have a very diverse range of foods. And I have a very good Irish friend who's about the main, I guess, like on Fridays, you'd eat something called couscous. And which is like.

• 7:22Conan O'Brien?

  We're all familiar with couscous. You're gonna say, now you're gonna say things. They're like, we have this strange dish called, and it's something that we eat all the time here in LA.

• 7:31Speaker 03

  Well, listen, couscous, you'd eat it on Friday, then you'd have these different types of tagines. But I know you're originally from Ireland. I have a very close Irish friend. Who thinks that couscous is crushed cardboard, like tastes like crushed cardboard. But I'm not gonna be taking lessons from a guy whose ancestors fled because there was no more potatoes.

• 7:52Speaker 01

  Oh, snap! Shots fired!

• 7:56Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, yes, me and it first of all.

• 7:59Conan O'Brien?

  Potato famine was quite a serious matter.

• 8:02Conan O'Brien?

  There was literally no food to eat. And that's why some of my people left. Um, but, uh, um, no, I, uh, I think.

• 8:10Speaker 04

  You thought they left Ireland just because they didn't like the taste of potatoes?

• 8:15Conan O'Brien?

  Um, but no, I think, first of all, it was wrong for your Irish friend. Well, first of all, I'm gonna start at the beginning. There's a couple of things you said there that are incorrect. I am not from Ireland. I'm from Boston, Massachusetts. And um, my people, originally, my people are from Ireland. But um, that's the first thing. Second of all, I don't think anyone from Ireland should be dissing couscous. Um, and saying it tastes like cardboard. Because uh, you know, it's just not, it's not right. And also, plenty of dishes in Ireland that taste like cardboard and are cardboard.

• 8:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 8:50Conan O'Brien?

  Um, and quite good, actually.

• 8:52Speaker 01

  Are they?

• 8:52Conan O'Brien?

  Very good cardboard.

• 8:53Speaker 01

  I think what she's saying is you can't trust an Irishman's palate.

• 8:56Conan O'Brien?

  I don't think she said that.

• 8:58Speaker 01

  Well, that's what I got. And I agree with whatever.

• 9:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, Sona's right. That's what I meant.

• 9:02Conan O'Brien?

  Give me a five. Best stew I've ever had was in Ireland. I'll say it right down. They made it with Guinness. It was delicious. Oh. Uh, so.

• 9:09Speaker 01

  Cabbage.

• 9:10Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, cardboard. There was no cabbage in there. Um.

• 9:14Speaker 03

  No, but I would make you eat uh, tagines. Okay, I'll be serious.

• 9:18Conan O'Brien?

  Various tagines, various tagines, an assortment of tagines.

• 9:22Speaker 03

  Yes, you'd have to be very good with your fingers because you have to pick up like, uh, have a piece of bread and sort of eat it with your finger.

• 9:33Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, I like it. I like it. It's very tactile. It's very, are you getting creeped out?

• 9:38Speaker 01

  The way you said it.

• 9:39Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I'm gonna be honest. I think it's very erotic to eat hand, foods with your hands and your fingers and be sucking on your fingers to get the, the sauces off.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  I'll get you a fork.

• 9:51Conan O'Brien?

  It's very, no, no.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  I'll get you a fork or a spoon.

• 9:57Conan O'Brien?

  I like you, Yasmina. I like you. Um, and uh, tell me, family? Do you have family in Marrakesh?

• 10:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 10:06Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 10:06Speaker 03

  Um, I have my parents uh and who live in Marrakesh and my older brother uh lives in Marrakesh.

• 10:16Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, cool.

• 10:17Speaker 03

  Well, when back to Marrakesh, he used to live.

• 10:19Conan O'Brien?

  So you have you have parents and an older brother in Marrakesh.

• 10:23Speaker 03

  Yes, and a younger brother in Canada.

• 10:25Conan O'Brien?

  In Canada. Um, that's uh, so this is fascinating to me because if I did come and visit, I could meet your parents. I think it's important that I meet your parents, you know?

• 10:37Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 10:38Conan O'Brien?

  If we're gonna eat finger food together, I should meet your I should meet your parents first.

• 10:43Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 10:44Conan O'Brien?

  And your brother.

• 10:45Speaker 04

  You have to ask permission.

• 10:45Conan O'Brien?

  I have to ask permission to eat finger food.

• 10:49Speaker 04

  What are your intentions with my daughter?

• 10:51Conan O'Brien?

  I'm going to eat some some couscous with my fingers.

• 10:55Speaker 04

  Oh, not with those spiders, you're not.

• 11:05Conan O'Brien?

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

• 11:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, I love awards.

• 11:08Conan 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.

• 11:22Speaker 01

  Nice.

• 11:23Conan 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.

  I drive a Hyundai Palisade and I love my car. I love it. I love driving it around.

• 11:36Conan O'Brien?

  I've been tooling around in an Ioniq 5N, which I love.

• 13:07Conan O'Brien?

  Did you know that 1 in 4 Americans targeted by scams end up falling for them?

• 13:12Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 13:12Conan O'Brien?

  You fell for one.

• 13:13Speaker 01

  I fell for a scam.

• 13:14Conan O'Brien?

  Now, you didn't lose too much money, but you did lose.

• 13:16Speaker 01

  I did lose, and it was very inconvenient. And now they put protections on my account like I'm dumb.

• 13:22Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. I don't know where they got that impression. Criminals are now using AI to make scams look more realistic than ever. In 2025, AI fraud spiked 1,210% and cost Americans $893 million. That's incredible. Well, with AI, it can get so smart now.

• 13:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 13:43Conan O'Brien?

  Do you know what I mean?

• 13:44Speaker 01

  Maybe I should start scamming.

• 13:45Conan O'Brien?

  No, that's not the point.

• 13:46Speaker 01

  Oh, no, that's not the point of this.

• 14:33Speaker 01

  My kids.

• 14:34Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 14:34Speaker 01

  Or Oki.

  You gotta get them your stuff.

• 14:35Speaker 01

  Or my dog.

• 14:36Conan O'Brien?

  And then your husband is last. Well, guess what? It's that time of year. You feel that, you smell that cinnamon cider in the air? Do you smell that?

• 14:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:46Conan O'Brien?

  And you see pumpkins around, people buying turkeys. A little early to buy a turkey.

• 14:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:51Conan O'Brien?

• 15:25Conan O'Brien?

  And I'd get along with your parents, right?

• 15:27Speaker 03

  Um, yeah, I'd get along with my parents. My mom would probably not understand you very well. She understands a bit of English, but not well. My dad, I think you could get along with him.

• 15:40Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I use my body a lot and my face to convey all...

• 15:44Speaker 03

  They're on holiday.

• 15:45Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, I'm very, I do. I use, I'm very expressive and I do well. I don't need English to communicate with people. I kill with two-year-old kids.

• 15:55Speaker 01

  That's true.

• 15:55Conan O'Brien?

  I do great. And so with your parents, I think I would be able to, first of all, I would have their attention because I'm the biggest thing they've ever seen. And then I would use my body a lot and I would tell great tales using my flailing limbs.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 16:11Speaker 03

  You'd probably break the house because it's so tiny.

• 16:13Conan O'Brien?

  It's a small house. Right. Yeah. I'd have to pick it up and put it over my head and look around.

• 16:18Speaker 03

  But yeah, you'd get along, even with my mother, yeah, no problem.

• 16:22Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Why do you keep saying even with your mother? Is your mother tough?

• 16:26Speaker 03

  Um, no. I mean, you could, she wouldn't understand everything you said, but I think you could get along, you know, just with sign language. I don't know.

• 16:36Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 16:37Speaker 03

  Whatever your talents are.

• 16:40Conan O'Brien?

  Whatever my talents are.

• 16:43Speaker 03

  Like if you can speak with your hands.

• 16:45Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, Mina. You're talking to Conan O'Brien here and you're saying whatever your talents are? What is that? What is that?

• 16:55Conan O'Brien?

  Wow, um, all right, well, this is, I mean, this is exciting. I think Morocco's a place I've never been. And, uh, I could see myself, um, you know, oh, would I, would I ride a camel in Morocco?

• 17:09Speaker 03

  Um, well, they have these tourist spots where they have like three, four camels. Where you can, I mean, you could bond with them because they might think you're also a camel. Cause they're also big. And

• 17:27Speaker 03

  they have, they have long legs, short torso, ginger. I mean.

• 17:33Conan O'Brien?

  So you think I'm a camel?

• 17:35Speaker 03

  No, I mean, they might.

• 17:38Speaker 01

  You're just, camels might think you're camel.

• 17:40Conan O'Brien?

  They might try to mate with you.

• 17:41Speaker 03

  You could bond with them.

• 17:43Conan O'Brien?

  Right. You think a camel might try to mate with me because it thinks I'm another camel?

• 17:47Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 17:48Conan O'Brien?

  If I'm wearing a miniskirt.

• 17:50Speaker 04

  And you're doing your erotic finger pricks.

• 17:53Conan O'Brien?

  If I'm wearing a miniskirt and I'm doing my erotic, uh, couscous, uh, you know, eating with my fingers. I could see a camel sidling up to me and going.

• 18:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, there you go. Exactly.

• 18:08Speaker 03

  You could bond with the camels. You could talk about world affairs, world politics. I don't know. I don't know what camels talks about, talk about.

• 18:15Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I, well, I do. It's time you listen.

• 18:19Speaker 04

  I like that this plan is all fine, except what you talk about is up to you, because that part I don't know.

• 18:24Conan O'Brien?

  What you talk to the camels about is your business.

• 18:27Speaker 01

  I don't know what camels talk about.

• 18:30Speaker 01

  I love that.

• 18:31Conan O'Brien?

  I have to say, the idea of me going to, say, a market, um, in Morocco feels a little intimidating because I think they're used to, it's the haggling culture, right? It's the, you have to try and get a bargain. I would be very intimidated and I also, they might spot me as someone who they can take advantage of because I look stupid.

• 18:50Speaker 03

  Yeah. No, you just, um, you don't look stupid. Come on. But you look, you look different. So they'd be like, hmm.

• 18:58Speaker 04

  Hmm. How did this camel get in here?

• 19:00Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 19:02Conan O'Brien?

  I can sell this camel anything. This camel doesn't know.

• 19:07Conan O'Brien?

  So, what, what, could you help me if I was in a market? Let's say I was in a, a market in Morocco, in, in Marrakesh. And it's a busy, you know, and, and people are trying to take advantage of me because they think I'm a camel that wandered in. Um, would you be able to help me in those situations?

• 19:26Speaker 03

  I would definitely be able to help you because, uh, basically, uh, what tourists do in general is they would, for instance, I wanna sell, I wanna sell this pen to you. Uh, and you'd say, how much is this pen? And I'd say, well, it's a thousand dollars. And you'd go, that's a bit much. Can you make it like nine hundred? Eh, wrong. That's not what you're supposed to say. If they say this is a thousand, you have to go, well, I'll give you zero, nothing. I'll, I want it for free. And then they would go, oh, well, that's a little exaggerated. Maybe I'll sell it for like five hundred.

• 20:08Speaker 03

  Tourists go, if it's a thousand, they go, eh, nine hundred? And then the other guy would go nine fifty, nine hundred and fifty. You really have to go really low.

• 20:17Conan O'Brien?

  But really go to zero? I'm gonna go to zero?

• 20:20Speaker 03

  Okay, you can say like one or something, but you, you really have to make it the least possible. Like almost insulting.

• 20:29Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, I, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna, uh, actually say things like, that's the worst, um, lamp I've ever seen. I hate that lamp and I would never want that lamp in my house. I loathe that lamp. I despise it. It makes me wanna vomit.

• 20:44Speaker 03

  I think you should break it as well.

• 20:45Conan O'Brien?

  I wanna smash it to pieces. And then I start with that and then I say, but I might, might take it.

• 20:52Speaker 04

  And he goes, a thousand dollars and you go. I'll take it.

• 20:56Speaker 03

  Yeah. But also what you could do.

• 20:58Speaker 04

  I mean, twelve hundred. Yeah, okay, how about fifteen? Not twelve, seventeen, eighteen. Oh my god, this camel's made of money over here.

• 21:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:09Conan O'Brien?

  What do you think's in the hump, dude?

• 21:10Speaker 03

  What you could do, what you could do is tell me I want that and then I can just walk in, say it in Arabic. And he'll sell it for the pro, the real price.

• 21:19Conan O'Brien?

  So I should just lay low. I should hide under some carpets or something. And you should go and do all the haggling.

• 21:23Speaker 04

  But how do you know Yasmina's not conning you or hustling you? And she might, she might be in with this guy.

• 21:29Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 21:29Speaker 04

  It's true. Yasmina, can we trust you?

• 21:32Speaker 03

  Um.

• 21:36Conan O'Brien?

  Yasmina, what do you do, by the way? I don't know what you do.

• 21:40Speaker 03

  I'm a doctor.

• 21:41Conan O'Brien?

  You're a doctor? That's very impressive.

• 21:43Speaker 03

  It's alright, yeah.

• 21:45Conan O'Brien?

  Well, what kind of doctor are you?

• 21:47Speaker 03

  I'm a radiologist. So like a fake doctor.

• 21:51Conan O'Brien?

  Why is radiologist a fake? That sounds very cool to me.

• 21:54Speaker 03

  Because we can't, we don't know medicine. We don't know how to treat. We just go, oh, that's not good.

• 22:03Conan O'Brien?

  That's all you do? Even when it is good, you go, that's not good?

• 22:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, or like if we see a foot, we just say, foot. But, uh, but no, no, no.

• 22:12Conan O'Brien?

  Who's going to, a doctor to find out, is this indeed my foot? Yes, it's your foot.

• 22:17Speaker 03

  No, we can just go, it's broken. We go, it's broken, how do I fix it? I don't know.

• 22:23Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, so, yeah. But you look at bones all the time, right?

• 22:28Speaker 03

  No, it's, so I'm a radiologist and I work mainly in abdominal radiology. Uh, and, and, uh, uh, what do you call it in English?

• 22:43Speaker 03

  Breast imaging.

• 22:44Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, okay. Well, that's very important. It's crucial.

• 22:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:49Conan O'Brien?

  Are you worried at all about being replaced by AI? Do they say that's gonna happen in radiology?

• 22:55Speaker 03

  Yes, uh, I'm worried, uh, well, not for me, because, uh, it's, it's not, it's not, um, a thing that's happening right this second in my hospital. Uh, but it might be an issue in, in the coming years. Uh, but I don't care because I'll be retired by then.

• 23:15Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 23:18Conan O'Brien?

  You're retiring in six months? You look pretty young. That's incredible. I know. Um, I've been replaced by AI. This is an AI Conan you're talking to right now.

• 23:26Speaker 03

  Yes, this is an AI Yasmina you're talking to.

• 23:29Conan O'Brien?

  Very nice. I knew there's something I liked about you. Um, we share a synthetic quality. Uh, I like you, Yasmina, and you're very funny. And I think you're a fine representative of Marrakesh, Morocco. And I, I do hope one day I get to meet your parents, uh, eat finger foods in front of them.

• 23:50Speaker 03

  We'll get you a fork.

• 23:51Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, and then go out and find a camel to mess around with. Um, this has been lovely talking to you. And thank you for, thank you for reaching out to us. That's really nice. I love it when people from other countries, places I've never been, uh, reach out to us. It's really fun.

• 24:09Speaker 03

  Thanks. Also, you don't look like a Belgian woman. You keep saying you look like a beautiful Belgian woman from behind. I heard you say that, but you don't.

• 24:18Conan O'Brien?

  No. Oh, thank you very much. Saying I don't look like a woman's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Looks like a Belgian camel. Yeah.

• 24:27Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, well, thank you very much for that. And I hope our paths cross sometime in the future.

• 24:33Speaker 03

  I hope so too.

• 24:34Conan O'Brien?
