0:21 Conan O'Brien? And I didn't get cash back, and I regret it now.
0:24 Speaker 01 Oh, okay. Well, that's a very thoughtful gift.
0:27 Conan O'Brien? Do you wear a wig, or is that your hair?
0:29 Speaker 01 Absolutely not. It's definitely my hair. And so it's kind of insulting you would buy that gift for me.

0:57 Conan O'Brien? Yeah. I did that with an all-potato restaurant.
1:00 Speaker 01 Oh, no.
1:04 Conan 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?

1:47 Conan O'Brien? Hi, Yasmina. Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.
1:50 Speaker 03 Hey.
1:50 Conan O'Brien? Hi, Yasmina. How are you?
1:52 Speaker 03 I'm good. How are you guys?
1:53 Conan 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?
2:03 Speaker 03 I am from Morocco, and I live in Brussels.
2:06 Conan O'Brien? Oh, you live in Brussels? Okay.
2:08 Speaker 03 But I'm from Morocco.
2:09 Conan O'Brien? You're from Morocco originally. And why did you go to Brussels? Is there a reason for that?
2:14 Speaker 03 Um, I went to Brussels because, um, medical school is cheap here.
2:19 Conan O'Brien? Oh.
2:21 Speaker 03 And, uh...
2:23 Speaker 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.
2:36 Conan 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?
2:47 Speaker 03 So I'm from Marrakesh.
2:48 Conan 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.
3:04 Speaker 03 Yeah.
3:05 Conan O'Brien? Don't be a test.
3:06 Speaker 03 I'm aware, I'm aware of all the things.
3:09 Conan O'Brien? Of all the things. You're aware of all the things, she said, filled with shame.
3:13 Speaker 01 Sad way to ask. Do you watch my show? Have you seen my show?
3:17 Conan O'Brien? Yeah. Well, I'm trying to.
3:18 Speaker 01 Do you listen to my podcast? What do you like? What do you like that I do?
3:21 Conan O'Brien? This is all leading up to something crucial.
3:24 Speaker 03 Yes, I know, I can feel it.
3:26 Conan O'Brien? Yes, you can feel it.
3:28 Speaker 03 I'm very ominous, yeah.
3:29 Conan 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?
3:46 Speaker 03 You'd be the tallest thing there.
3:50 Conan O'Brien? Not even human. I'd be the tallest thing.
3:52 Speaker 03 You'd be the tallest everything.
3:54 Conan O'Brien? Wow.
3:55 Speaker 03 You'd also be the whitest.
3:56 Conan O'Brien? You don't have a mountain that's higher than six foot, four inches?
4:00 Speaker 03 No.
4:01 Conan O'Brien? This is the mighty mountain. Greatest mountain we have is six foot two in its shoes.
4:07 Speaker 03 You'd be towering over everyone.
4:09 Conan 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?
4:23 Speaker 03 I think you'd get along.
4:27 Speaker 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.
4:42 Conan 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.
5:05 Speaker 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.
5:21 Speaker 03 We're very cool, we're chill, we don't really take ourselves seriously, which is perfect for you, I'm guessing.
5:32 Speaker 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.
5:59 Conan O'Brien? Okay, you're obsessed with my height? I think I can reach across this divide. I think it'll be okay.
6:07 Speaker 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.
6:16 Conan O'Brien? A jalaba?
6:17 Speaker 03 Yeah, and it's like a long sweater.
6:23 Speaker 03 And but you're so tall, it would fit like a miniskirt.
6:29 Speaker 04 I'd like to see that.
6:30 Speaker 01 I know.
6:31 Conan 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.
6:55 Speaker 03 A nice like tan.
6:57 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
6:57 Speaker 03 With that.
6:57 Conan O'Brien? Yeah. Um, wow, uh, and what's the food like? I mean, what kind of food would you see me eating there?
7:07 Speaker 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.
7:22 Conan 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.
7:31 Speaker 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.
7:52 Speaker 01 Oh, snap! Shots fired!
7:56 Conan O'Brien? Okay, yes, me and it first of all.
7:59 Conan O'Brien? Potato famine was quite a serious matter.
8:02 Conan 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.
8:10 Speaker 04 You thought they left Ireland just because they didn't like the taste of potatoes?
8:15 Conan 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.
8:49 Speaker 01 Yeah.
8:50 Conan O'Brien? Um, and quite good, actually.
8:52 Speaker 01 Are they?
8:52 Conan O'Brien? Very good cardboard.
8:53 Speaker 01 I think what she's saying is you can't trust an Irishman's palate.
8:56 Conan O'Brien? I don't think she said that.
8:58 Speaker 01 Well, that's what I got. And I agree with whatever.
9:00 Speaker 03 Yeah, Sona's right. That's what I meant.
9:02 Conan 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.
9:09 Speaker 01 Cabbage.
9:10 Conan O'Brien? Uh, cardboard. There was no cabbage in there. Um.
9:14 Speaker 03 No, but I would make you eat uh, tagines. Okay, I'll be serious.
9:18 Conan O'Brien? Various tagines, various tagines, an assortment of tagines.
9:22 Speaker 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.
9:33 Conan O'Brien? Yeah, I like it. I like it. It's very tactile. It's very, are you getting creeped out?
9:38 Speaker 01 The way you said it.
9:39 Conan 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.
9:50 Speaker 03 I'll get you a fork.
9:51 Conan O'Brien? It's very, no, no.
9:55 Speaker 03 I'll get you a fork or a spoon.
9:57 Conan O'Brien? I like you, Yasmina. I like you. Um, and uh, tell me, family? Do you have family in Marrakesh?
10:05 Speaker 03 Yeah.
10:06 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
10:06 Speaker 03 Um, I have my parents uh and who live in Marrakesh and my older brother uh lives in Marrakesh.
10:16 Conan O'Brien? Oh, cool.
10:17 Speaker 03 Well, when back to Marrakesh, he used to live.
10:19 Conan O'Brien? So you have you have parents and an older brother in Marrakesh.
10:23 Speaker 03 Yes, and a younger brother in Canada.
10:25 Conan 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?
10:37 Speaker 03 Yes.
10:38 Conan O'Brien? If we're gonna eat finger food together, I should meet your I should meet your parents first.
10:43 Speaker 03 Yes.
10:44 Conan O'Brien? And your brother.
10:45 Speaker 04 You have to ask permission.
10:45 Conan O'Brien? I have to ask permission to eat finger food.
10:49 Speaker 04 What are your intentions with my daughter?
10:51 Conan O'Brien? I'm going to eat some some couscous with my fingers.
10:55 Speaker 04 Oh, not with those spiders, you're not.
11:05 Conan O'Brien? You know, winning an award, that's a big achievement, right?
11:07 Speaker 01 Yeah, I love awards.
11:08 Conan 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.
11:22 Speaker 01 Nice.
11:23 Conan 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.
11:31 Speaker 01 I drive a Hyundai Palisade and I love my car. I love it. I love driving it around.

12:30 Conan O'Brien? When it comes to insurance, Farmers doesn't like surprises. That's why there's Farmers coverage on a page. What is it you ask? Did you ask? I don't think you did, but let's pretend you did.
12:41 Speaker 01 What is that?
12:42 Conan O'Brien? It's your coverage on a page, pretty straightforward.
12:45 Speaker 01 Yeah.

13:07 Conan O'Brien? Did you know that 1 in 4 Americans targeted by scams end up falling for them?
13:12 Speaker 01 Yeah.
13:12 Conan O'Brien? You fell for one.
13:13 Speaker 01 I fell for a scam.
13:14 Conan O'Brien? Now, you didn't lose too much money, but you did lose.
13:16 Speaker 01 I did lose, and it was very inconvenient. And now they put protections on my account like I'm dumb.
13:22 Conan 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.
13:42 Speaker 01 Yeah.
13:43 Conan O'Brien? Do you know what I mean?
13:44 Speaker 01 Maybe I should start scamming.
13:45 Conan O'Brien? No, that's not the point.

14:34 Speaker 01 Or Oki.
14:35 Conan O'Brien? You gotta get them your stuff.
14:35 Speaker 01 Or my dog.
14:36 Conan 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?
14:46 Speaker 01 Yeah.
14:46 Conan O'Brien? And you see pumpkins around, people buying turkeys. A little early to buy a turkey.
14:51 Speaker 01 Yeah.
14:51 Conan O'Brien? Doesn't matter. Holidays? I would say it's just around the corner, but that's a cliche. It's very nearby in the cupboard.

15:25 Conan O'Brien? And I'd get along with your parents, right?
15:27 Speaker 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.
15:40 Conan O'Brien? Well, I use my body a lot and my face to convey all...
15:44 Speaker 03 They're on holiday.
15:45 Conan 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.
15:55 Speaker 01 That's true.
15:55 Conan 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.
16:09 Speaker 03 Exactly.
16:11 Speaker 03 You'd probably break the house because it's so tiny.
16:13 Conan 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.
16:18 Speaker 03 But yeah, you'd get along, even with my mother, yeah, no problem.
16:22 Conan O'Brien? Yeah. Why do you keep saying even with your mother? Is your mother tough?
16:26 Speaker 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.
16:36 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
16:37 Speaker 03 Whatever your talents are.
16:40 Conan O'Brien? Whatever my talents are.
16:43 Speaker 03 Like if you can speak with your hands.
16:45 Conan 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?
16:55 Conan 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?
17:09 Speaker 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
17:27 Speaker 03 they have, they have long legs, short torso, ginger. I mean.
17:33 Conan O'Brien? So you think I'm a camel?
17:35 Speaker 03 No, I mean, they might.
17:38 Speaker 01 You're just, camels might think you're camel.
17:40 Conan O'Brien? They might try to mate with you.
17:41 Speaker 03 You could bond with them.
17:43 Conan O'Brien? Right. You think a camel might try to mate with me because it thinks I'm another camel?
17:47 Speaker 03 No, no.
17:48 Conan O'Brien? If I'm wearing a miniskirt.
17:50 Speaker 04 And you're doing your erotic finger pricks.
17:53 Conan 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.
18:02 Speaker 03 Yeah, there you go. Exactly.
18:08 Speaker 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.
18:15 Conan O'Brien? Well, I, well, I do. It's time you listen.
18:19 Speaker 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.
18:24 Conan O'Brien? What you talk to the camels about is your business.
18:27 Speaker 01 I don't know what camels talk about.
18:30 Speaker 01 I love that.
18:31 Conan 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.
18:50 Speaker 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.
18:58 Speaker 04 Hmm. How did this camel get in here?
19:00 Conan O'Brien? Yeah.
19:02 Conan O'Brien? I can sell this camel anything. This camel doesn't know.
19:07 Conan 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?
19:26 Speaker 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.
20:08 Speaker 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.
20:17 Conan O'Brien? But really go to zero? I'm gonna go to zero?
20:20 Speaker 03 Okay, you can say like one or something, but you, you really have to make it the least possible. Like almost insulting.
20:29 Conan 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.
20:44 Speaker 03 I think you should break it as well.
20:45 Conan O'Brien? I wanna smash it to pieces. And then I start with that and then I say, but I might, might take it.
20:52 Speaker 04 And he goes, a thousand dollars and you go. I'll take it.
20:56 Speaker 03 Yeah. But also what you could do.
20:58 Speaker 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.
21:08 Speaker 03 Yeah.
21:09 Conan O'Brien? What do you think's in the hump, dude?
21:10 Speaker 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.
21:19 Conan 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.
21:23 Speaker 04 But how do you know Yasmina's not conning you or hustling you? And she might, she might be in with this guy.
21:29 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm.
21:29 Speaker 04 It's true. Yasmina, can we trust you?
21:32 Speaker 03 Um.
21:36 Conan O'Brien? Yasmina, what do you do, by the way? I don't know what you do.
21:40 Speaker 03 I'm a doctor.
21:41 Conan O'Brien? You're a doctor? That's very impressive.
21:43 Speaker 03 It's alright, yeah.
21:45 Conan O'Brien? Well, what kind of doctor are you?
21:47 Speaker 03 I'm a radiologist. So like a fake doctor.
21:51 Conan O'Brien? Why is radiologist a fake? That sounds very cool to me.
21:54 Speaker 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.
22:03 Conan O'Brien? That's all you do? Even when it is good, you go, that's not good?
22:06 Speaker 03 Yeah, or like if we see a foot, we just say, foot. But, uh, but no, no, no.
22:12 Conan O'Brien? Who's going to, a doctor to find out, is this indeed my foot? Yes, it's your foot.
22:17 Speaker 03 No, we can just go, it's broken. We go, it's broken, how do I fix it? I don't know.
22:23 Conan O'Brien? Okay, so, yeah. But you look at bones all the time, right?
22:28 Speaker 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?
22:43 Speaker 03 Breast imaging.
22:44 Conan O'Brien? Oh, okay. Well, that's very important. It's crucial.
22:48 Speaker 03 Yeah.
22:49 Conan O'Brien? Are you worried at all about being replaced by AI? Do they say that's gonna happen in radiology?
22:55 Speaker 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.
23:15 Conan O'Brien? Okay.
23:18 Conan 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.

23:29 Conan 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.
