Choosing the Perfect Location

Conan initially contemplates an exotic getaway to Saint Barts, inspired by the lavish lifestyles of celebrities. However, after considering factors like climate preferences and practicality, he decides against it.

“Was that in Saint Barn parts? It's like 71. And I prefer 72.” [03:57]

Opting for familiarity and convenience, the group settles on using Conan's backyard at Larchmont for this year’s gathering. This decision is influenced by the manageable weather and the practicality of hosting at their usual spot.

“Because it's gonna put us. First of all, there's a bathroom Right here.” [04:44]

Humorous Banter on Yard Maintenance

The conversation shifts to the state of Conan’s backyard, highlighting its dimensions and current condition. The team jokes about the size, maintenance, and the presence of fruit trees, which become a recurring humorous topic throughout the episode.

“Do you know what it is?” [06:54] “It's small. It's a narrow backyard.” [07:08]

Blay adds to the humor by reminiscing about previous attempts to find segment ideas, leading to playful confusion and laughter among the group.

Addressing the Challenges of a Shared Space

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around managing the backyard space amidst the presence of multiple dogs. Sona and other team members humorously address the challenges of pet maintenance, emphasizing the importance of cleaning up after the animals.

“It's covered in dog shit, but it's clean.” [14:21] “Sona, you can't come to my house.” [08:36]

Conan expresses his concern humorously about potential messes, leading to a lighthearted call for responsibility among team members.

“If Atlas went to the bathroom out there and David didn't clean it, and that includes urine. I want urine extracted from the soil with a syringe.” [17:13]

---

Exploring New Segment Ideas: The Ape Concept

In an inventive twist, the team brainstorms the idea of introducing an animal companion to the show. Conan enthusiastically suggests bringing an ape or chimpanzee, envisioning it as both a humorous and chaotic addition.

“I want an ape. I do. I want like an orangutan, like some.” [15:00]

The conversation evolves into playful speculation about the ape's behavior and interactions during recordings, highlighting the group's creative and comedic dynamic.

“What about, like, a little fishbowl right here, you know? Or a little.” [16:00]

---

Sun Protection and Filming Logistics

Planning for the summer series involves practical considerations like sun protection. Conan shares his plans to use tarps and special hats to shield himself from the sun, infusing humor into the logistical aspects of outdoor filming.

“I'm having those brought in because I have to keep myself moist at all times.” [04:09] “I bought Rose Kennedy's hat that she used to wear to the beach at an estate sale.” [09:22]

Matt Sachs adds a humorous comparison to classic film characters, further lightening the mood.

“I picture you like. Do you remember Marlon Brando in the island of Dr. Moreau?” [10:22]

Conan reflects on audience reactions and past changes, emphasizing the evolving nature of their Summer S’mores tradition.

“It's a very wise choice. I'll make sure that. Blay, would you clean the yard first before we go back there?” [17:00]

---

Closing Remarks and Final Banter

As the episode draws to a close, the group engages in playful banter about their personal lives and responsibilities, particularly focusing on dog ownership and maintenance. The episode concludes on a high note, with Conan expressing his excitement for the upcoming adventures.

Conan Summer S' Mores with Conan and the Chill Chums. A six part series with Conan O', Brien, Sonam of Session and Matt Gourley. Let's get started.

[Conan O'Brien]

Why, hello and welcome to the 2025 installment of Summer s' mores with Conan and his Chill Chums. This has become a rite of passage. It started. I think this is our fifth one. Did you say that Gorly, it's our fifth? Yeah, this is our fifth. We've gone to many exotic locations. We went to Altadena.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah. Last year. Last year.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. A little bittersweet now because you have lost that home.

[Sona Movsesian]

I did not lose the backyard.

[Conan O'Brien]

Backyard's still there.

[Sona Movsesian]

So that's still there.

[Conan O'Brien]

Can I ask you, we taped last year in your backyard of your lovely house and what's the view like from your backyard now? Is it. Are all the houses in your neighborhood gone? Everything.

[Sona Movsesian]

All the houses are gone. But now all the debris has been removed on pretty much every house. So it's like an alien came and just sucked up all the houses. Yeah, but the yards are the same. So if we did it in my yard, it. We could. We could do it.

[Conan O'Brien]

A lot of the vegetation gone because I've noticed so many views are different. You know, if you drive through the palisades, you see vistas you never Saw before. Because a lot of the. The scrub and the trees and foliage is gone.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, yeah. But then you see the green that's growing, so that's cool. I mean, there's like, you know, and suddenly there's sunflowers sprouting in my backyard. I don't know where they came from.

[Conan O'Brien]

Right.

[Sona Movsesian]

So there's, you know, and I do love that we have last year's chilchums as kind of like a documentation of my house and my yard and stuff. So. It's nice. It's nice.

[Conan O'Brien]

What are the other locations we've done? We've done.

[Adam Sachs]

Well, first we did in studio, Then we did my backyard. Then we did this place on the balcony here at the studio.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's right. We were outside on the balcony.

[Adam Sachs]

Then we did sonas. And then this year.

[Conan O'Brien]

This year. Okay, here's the plan. All right, gather round. I've been thinking about this. I wanted to go someplace closer. I thought about we should really go someplace far and exotic. And I looked around. I was thinking about Saint Barts. Have you guys been to St. Barts before? Very exotic.

[Sona Movsesian]

Love St. Bart's very exotic.

[Conan O'Brien]

And I was thinking about it, and I was looking into various hotels there and. Or maybe just doing what I think a lot of rappers and pop stars do and get yachts.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. So I was doing all that and getting into the paperwork of it all, but then it turned out and I was fine with the price. I was fine. I was happy to do that. I'll just pay for that myself. Okay. But, yeah, the weather right now isn't quite ideal.

[Adam Sachs]

There are St. Barts.

[Sona Movsesian]

It's perfect.

[Conan O'Brien]

Was that in Saint Barn parts? It's like 71.

[David]

Oh.

[Conan O'Brien]

And I prefer 72. So I decided that maybe it makes more sense to just use the backyard.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, come on.

[Adam Sachs]

I'm looking at. Forecast is going to be in the 90s there.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, not. I'm going to have various humidifiers, the thing that they use in grocery stores to keep the lettuce moist. I'm having those brought in because I have to keep myself moist at all times.

[Matt Gourley]

Why can't you bring those to St. Barts?

[Conan O'Brien]

Look, you know what? I really was so close to pulling the trigger on St. Barts, and I looked at a lot of places. I looked at Anguilla. I looked at, you know, just so many very wealthy enclaves and islands. And I decided the best thing to do is just go to our backyard here.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

Because it's gonna put us. First of all, there's a bathroom Right here.

[Sona Movsesian]

You don't think there's bathrooms in St. Bart?

[Adam Sachs]

There's actually.

[Conan O'Brien]

My travel agent said.

[Blay]

Yeah, okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's why they tell all the pop stars and rappers to bring a bucket.

[Adam Sachs]

It's called a pickle bucket.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, yeah. So I. Whatever. He. Yeah, yeah. That little. Ugh. Afterwards gave it a real validity. What reminder? You're under oath, sir. So I like our backyard because I haven't been there. There's a backyard here at Larchmont that I'm told is really nice. And also, I'm a king with his castle. And I want to walk my domain. I want to walk my lands, my estates. And I'm told that stretching. How. How big is it back there? I haven't been there yet, but I'm.

[Sona Movsesian]

Told it just goes in, like, square footage wise.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, it isn't. It just. It's. It's.

[Sona Movsesian]

No, it's actually kind of small. It's a small yard. Was I supposed to say it was big?

[Conan O'Brien]

What do you think, Blake?

[Blay]

Well, you know, it's back there. Fruit trees.

[Conan O'Brien]

What?

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, boy.

[Blay]

You got. You got some fruit trees back there, man.

[Conan O'Brien]

I just asked how big it was, and you went, yeah, fruit trees.

[Blay]

Why big? I'm just saying. Well, it's a sizable piece of property. I think it's a little crazy to me that you've never been back there. Cause you park your car very close, and you just could take five more steps around the corner and see this beautiful Shangri La.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's in sunlight.

[Blay]

Oh, I see.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, I can't go in. I'm like a vampire.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's true.

[Conan O'Brien]

So I scurry like a rat. We have a little parking space structure. I'm back there. Mr. Ted Danson's back there.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, we're not.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, no. You guys are parking. Oh, no, no, no. I know.

[Sona Movsesian]

I probably have a ticket right now.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, well, that's your problem. Anyway, I know I don't have a ticket because I'm in my special park, Ted Danson and I in the clear. But no, anyone of my ilk is well cared for. But I have to scurry in. I've not really hung out. Back in the backyard, Blade shouted, fruit trees. So I guess there's fruit trees back there. No question as to what the actual space is. Do you know what it is?

[Eduardo Perez]

It's small. It's a narrow backyard. Blade brought up the fruit trees because it's a reference to the last time he brought up fruit trees. Was one. We were trying to think of a good segment idea. Blaze idea was that we talk about fruit trees.

[Sona Movsesian]

And it.

[Adam Sachs]

And it was.

[Eduardo Perez]

It landed with the giant injury where.

[Conan O'Brien]

You just repeat fruit tree over and over again.

[Blay]

No, no, I. I really thought it would kind of everyone.

[Conan O'Brien]

Aaron's coming out of a coma.

[Blay]

No.

[Conan O'Brien]

After 15 years. Aaron, are you there? Fruit tree.

[Blay]

In my life, the fruit trees was a seminal event, but I guess no one else remembers.

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't think our hardcore fans know what you're talking about right now.

[Blay]

But. But to get back to your original question, see, I think I don't have. I live in an apartment. I don't have a yard. So to me, it's massive.

[Adam Sachs]

And we should tell the listeners that they can see how big this yard is, too, because all of these summer s' mores episodes will be available in full length on YouTube.

[Blay]

Now, Adam, Eduardo has a pretty big yard.

[Conan O'Brien]

Eduardo, why don't you weigh in on how what you think the size is back there?

[Adam Sachs]

It's all right.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's tiny.

[Sona Movsesian]

I don't have a yard either. And it's small.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's got potential.

[Adam Sachs]

I believe you have only a yard.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, my God. Hey, I guess enough. You know what? Tragedy plus time. And for Gorly, that means not a lot of time. Wow. Take that, Sona. Well, it is your fault your house burned down.

[Sona Movsesian]

It is not my fault my house burned down.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're right.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, my God. How come we don't go to your house? Every year we say we're gonna go to your house, and then we just never do, like, I think since the.

[Conan O'Brien]

Beginning, wonder what's going on. Sonia, you can't come to my house.

[Sona Movsesian]

Come on.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, it's not gonna happen.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay?

[Conan O'Brien]

No. Maybe next year we'll do my house. Listen, this is my yard because this is my building. So in a way, this is kind of my house away from home. And so we're gonna go to our backyard here at Larchmont. And I like this idea because, as I said, all the amenities you might need. Legal pads, fruit. Fruit trees, toilets, everything is right here. And I like the idea of just being in our backyard. I think it could be fun. It's gonna be outdoors. It's gonna be summer's y. And also, I think it's a tax write off. What's the deal with that? Adam, you might know about the financial implications of doing it on our own business property.

[Eduardo Perez]

It's cheap. I know that. I mean, we're not paying, you know, anybody. I don't know about the tax write off. I'm not an accountant, but.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, I'm just putting it out there that this is a business expense, the whole thing. And we're doing Conoco business here at the Conoco. Or is it Team Coco? Or is it Hamfat? I have so many subsidiaries, I don't even know anymore.

[Eduardo Perez]

And, yeah, we'll look into writing it off for sure. I don't think we're spend a lot, but whatever we spend, we'll write it off.

[Adam Sachs]

This is going to be at high noon when we do this. So what precautions are you taking for the sun?

[Conan O'Brien]

I bought Rose Kennedy's hat that she used to wear to the beach at an estate sale. And I think we're going to. I think we're planning to. I have thought about this, and it wasn't even me that thought of it. It's my staff. I think Shalemi and people were looking into various shades that they can put up. Umbrellas, screens, tarps. I think I'm gonna be covered in a tarp. The same tarp that you would put over a barbecue in the rain. That's gonna be covering my head the whole time.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Adam Sachs]

I picture you like. Do you remember Marlon Brando in the island of Dr. Moreau? And he was just all white cream with a little silver umbrella hat and a white, like, caftan.

[Conan O'Brien]

Caftan, yeah. Yes. I'm working with the same people that lathered up that slathered Marwin Brando. They're called Brando Slatherers. It's an actual gig you can get. It's a union job.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

And now a shout out to Hershey's and a huge thanks to them for sponsoring summer s'. Mores. I was very psyched when I heard Hershey's was on board.

[Sona Movsesian]

Same.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Because I got to tell you, I've been eating Hershey's milk chocolate since I was a little kid.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

I was like, give me that milk chocolate. And they'd say, okay. And I'd say, is it Hershey's and Butterbeer?

[Sona Movsesian]

I'll kill you.

[Conan O'Brien]

I was a mean little kid.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

I really insisted it be Hershey's. Now you can smore like never before with new Hershey's milk chocolate with caramel. What's the verdict?

[Adam Sachs]

Oh, my God. It's truly scrumptious.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. It's a sweet new take on the classic treat. This groundbreaking delight delivers an over the top s' mores experience. Each Hershey's caramel bar is perfectly sized for s', mores, delivering optimum ooey gooey goodness. In every bite. It's an indulgent new way to make summer memories. Gather round for toasted marshmallows, crunchy graham crackers, and new Hershey's caramel bars. Oh, my God. This Hershey's Caramel is very good.

[Adam Sachs]

Oh, my God.

[Conan O'Brien]

Very good. Very good. You know what? Why didn't they think of this before? I know if I was at Hershey's, I'd be firing people for not thinking of this ten years ago.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh.

[Conan O'Brien]

Anyway, try Hershey's milk chocolate with caramel today. S'. More. More. It's campfire season, and L.L. bean is helping people of all ages get outside. You know, I gotta tell you, when I'm outside, I'm a happy guy, too.

[Sona Movsesian]

Me, too. I love it.

[Conan O'Brien]

A night around the campfire is nothing without versatile gear. You gotta have versatile gear. You do, you know. L.L. bean Easy comfort Camp Chair Max. Designed with a wider, deeper and taller seat for maximum comfort and support. I need that taller seat.

[Adam Sachs]

You do, you do.

[Conan O'Brien]

Don't risk any hangry, kids or adults. Pack the car with the Adventure Cooler tote. It's lightweight, it's insulated, it has an impressive capacity. Okay. Holds up to. Can you guess? Sona?

[Sona Movsesian]

I'm gonna say 3612 ounce cans.

[Conan O'Brien]

You know what? You're not wrong.

[Adam Sachs]

And I'm gonna guess it'd be cold for up to 50 hours with ice.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes. You guys think you're joking around. You both nailed it. When I'm out there camping with my buddies, I'm out there with Rodman and Greg Daniels and Rob lzebnik.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

And we're just.

[Sona Movsesian]

You guys are just roughing it.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. We're very close to a restaurant.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh.

[Conan O'Brien]

We're in the parking lot of a very nice restaurant. But we've got our L.L. bean stuff. We've got, you know, I've got my Adventure tote cooler, my L.L. bean Easy Comfort Camp chair Max. It's just good times. Good times for everybody. So for the best outdoor products and to save 10% on your order, visit llbean.comconan outside together since 1912. I think this is going to be a good move for us.

[Sona Movsesian]

Sure.

[Conan O'Brien]

And it's going to really connect us to this property. It's good, as I said, for tax reasons. And I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I really do. Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

I mean, right now, I think the yard is only used for taking dogs out there so they could do their poo poo and pee pee out there.

[Adam Sachs]

Are you serious?

[Sona Movsesian]

I really think There's a lot of poo poo pee pee out there.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm sure people clean up after themselves, don't they?

[Sona Movsesian]

They do, I think.

[Conan O'Brien]

What do you mean? Who are you talking about? Who has a dog? Who brings their dogs there right now?

[Adam Sachs]

You personally.

[Sona Movsesian]

I brought Okie here and she's on poo poo pee pee out there. But I have cleaned up.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. Who has been bringing dogs here? Let's, let's. Because now David has a dog.

[Sona Movsesian]

David. Andy brings his dog Daisy.

[Blay]

Right.

[Sona Movsesian]

And then now Gina's dog Betty is here, cuz.

[Conan O'Brien]

And you bring your dog occasionally.

[Sona Movsesian]

Sometimes bring Okie.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's four dogs.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah. Yeah. So that's like the best place where dogs can do their business. So we're going to a dog's toilet to do our summer s' mores this year. The puppy toilet.

[Conan O'Brien]

I didn't think of that angle.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's okay. I mean, it's clean.

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't know what you just said. It's covered in dog shit. And then you said, but it's clean. I don't understand. That isn't. You and Blay aren't making any sense on this broadcast.

[Sona Movsesian]

Well, the dog.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well covered in dog shit, but it's clean.

[Sona Movsesian]

Dog shit is fertilizing the fruit trees. Yay. We did it.

[Blay]

You know, Matt actually brought up something.

[Conan O'Brien]

He.

[Blay]

You put. You brought up the idea of getting like a studio cat or like an animal that just lives here at the house.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, I want an ape. I do. I want like an orangutan, like some.

[Blay]

Kind of an ape.

[Conan O'Brien]

It will eventually lose its mind as you know. Elvis had an ape. Yeah, a chimp.

[Adam Sachs]

A chimp.

[Conan O'Brien]

You remember his name? Scatters.

[Adam Sachs]

I didn't know Scatters. That's Michael Jackson.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's Michael Jackson. Squirrels.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, Elvis's chimp was called Scatters.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

And. Or just scatter. But anyway, I want to. I want some kind of ape and.

[Adam Sachs]

Would be amazing if he's always just sitting in the corner when we record.

[Conan O'Brien]

And kind of sullen.

[Adam Sachs]

Yeah, they always are.

[Conan O'Brien]

But then at one moment he has to lose his mind and attack us.

[Adam Sachs]

And he'll rip our face and genitals off.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, you do that. You take your genitals off.

[Adam Sachs]

I guess chimps do.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's what happened to me. 1974. But yeah, I think an ape would be good. Some kind of ape or chimp.

[Sona Movsesian]

Sure, that's a great idea.

[Blay]

What would you name your ape? What would the ape be named?

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, what? This is an improv class. Suddenly. Yes. And it would be called question. Yes. And just ask you. Hey, yes and yes and yes and.

[Blay]

Oh, yes. And the ape.

[Adam Sachs]

What about, like, a little fishbowl right here, you know? Or a little.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, it's gotta be something that can go Fish can't go insane. At some point, I want it to be something that after thousands of hours of listening to the podcast, has gone truly well.

[Adam Sachs]

How about just some white tigers?

[Conan O'Brien]

No, we should have an exotic animal here.

[Sona Movsesian]

Exotic? I don't. I mean, who. But we're out of here for, like, weeks at a time.

[Conan O'Brien]

Right? And then it just roams around the halls looking at pictures of me with various hosts.

[Adam Sachs]

I never say it would be good because they. They have orange hair kind of like.

[Conan O'Brien]

You do, and they could sit in. If there's a day I can't be here, there's just a orange ape sitting here. And people. 80% of fans don't know the difference.

[Sona Movsesian]

Flinging its poop. And we're like, yeah, there's Conan flinging his poop.

[Conan O'Brien]

We should think about it. We should look into that and someone should get on that. Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

It's an important thing.

[Conan O'Brien]

But it does need my only prerequisite, to be an animal that can lose its mind at some point.

[Adam Sachs]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

And that's important to me. Okay. Just to be a mammal that can lose its mind.

[Adam Sachs]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

A mammal that can go quite insane. I like this. I like that we're doing it in the yard. I think this is a very wise choice. I'll make sure that. Blay, would you clean the yard first before we go back there?

[Blay]

Yeah, sure.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Blay]

I mean, I think if it's Sona's dog and Sona's, as she said, poo, poo, pee, pee. Shouldn't you have to clean it up?

[Conan O'Brien]

No, no, no. But there are many dogs back there now.

[Sona Movsesian]

If no one goes back there, then it's just.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hey, do you think David has brought his dog back there to do its business?

[Blay]

Why don't we call him in here.

[Conan O'Brien]

And ask about it? Do you think he cleaned it up?

[Blay]

No, I. I would be.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'll fire him on the spot if he let.

[Blay]

David, can you come in here, please? Can you come in?

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. If Atlas went to the bathroom out there and David didn't clean it, and that includes urine. I want urine extracted from the soil with a syringe.

[Blay]

I guarantee you he did not pick up. I mean, I love David, but I just don't see him as a poop picker.

[Conan O'Brien]

He can't just.

[Adam Sachs]

He won't leave poop out there.

[Blay]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Sona Movsesian]

It's a special kind of shitty person who doesn't pick a hepatitis.

[Conan O'Brien]

This is David's new dog, Atlas. And Atlas is a fine. It's a Belgian malomois. It's like a fancy way of saying malomar, I think. Yeah. Take more time putting the headphones on. That's okay, David.

[David]

Oh, they're stuck on the chair.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Who knew?

[David]

Talk amongst yourselves.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Okay. He became really entitled after he started bringing his dog here. So anyway, David.

[David]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Have you taken Atlas to our small backyard where we're going to be doing.

[David]

Yeah, he loves running around there.

[Conan O'Brien]

Has he relieved himself back there?

[David]

He has gone number one back there.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Sona Movsesian]

No number two.

[David]

No number twos.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, okay.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oakie has.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oaky has. I'm sure Daisy has. I'm sure Betty has.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, I'm sure everyone's taking care of it because. And cleaning up after themselves because we have very responsible staff.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

So I'm excited about the backyard. I'm gonna make sure that it's cleaned beforehand. I'm sure it is. And I think these are gonna be terrific episodes of Conan the Chil Chums. I know that we have special activities planned. Do I know what they are? No. Was a list of the possible things that we might do been put on my desk? Yes, it was. Did I look at it? No, I didn't.

[David]

That sounds right.

[Conan O'Brien]

Is this high on my list of things to do? No, it's not. Yes. Sony, you have your hand up.

[Sona Movsesian]

Is there going to be a Goerli cocktail again today and are we getting it sooner? Well, it's not today than the last episode. Are we getting it to sooner than that?

[Conan O'Brien]

Gorly, do you. Are you thinking about a cocktail that we might serve on the day that we tape this one? Not today, Sona.

[Adam Sachs]

To answer your question, yes, yes and yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

All right.

[Adam Sachs]

So yeah, we're getting a new cocktail and it's going to be an episode sooner.

[Conan O'Brien]

Good.

[Adam Sachs]

So we've really relaxed the restrictions. It's like semi prohibition.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's so funny because every year I say we're going to really tighten the reins next year and then we go in the other direction. So you're saying I think they were.

[Adam Sachs]

Too tight last year and so we had to walk it back. Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, yeah. They were too tight in what way? As in we started drinking like the last episode, so we obviously.

[Conan O'Brien]

So you'd be cogent. Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yes. Or boring, another way of saying it. So I had to really down that stuff as soon as I got it.

[Conan O'Brien]

You get drunk fast.

[Sona Movsesian]

I do. My tolerance is low. My tolerance is low.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. You'll have, like a lemon cough drop with a little bit of rum flavoring in it and you'll be three sheets to the wind.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's just a total lie. But I am. Again, I have not reviewed what we might be doing. I don't know what we're gonna be doing. There's a lot of surprises. There are a lot of things. I don't know, Blay, you're probably on the team that's thinking of all this kind of stuff.

[Blay]

We have some surprises in store.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's right.

[Blay]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Blay]

Yeah, we definitely have. We thought about this.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, great. Well, that's what, a joyless rendition of what we're doing.

[Blay]

Yeah, we have thought about it.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes.

[Blay]

I also did buy another dangerous weapon this year at the Ren Faire.

[Adam Sachs]

Last year.

[Blay]

I brought my big sword to show tack. So maybe I'll bring my. My big weapon this year.

[Sona Movsesian]

Bring your big weapon?

[Blay]

New weapon.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Blay]

I think it's going to be a fun summer sports. I'm excited that it's going to be daytime and that we're not wrapping at like 11:30pm which is always a little. Every, like, soda's kind of. No offense, a little drunk, gets really late. We all trying to wrap up and go home, but this time it's gonna.

[David]

Be in the afternoon during the day.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, I could. I could do the.

[Adam Sachs]

You're drunk now.

[Conan O'Brien]

You are numb.

[Sona Movsesian]

I like nighttime shoots, too, though. I mean, daytime is fun, but nighttime is cool, too.

[Conan O'Brien]

Do that thing where when you're around people that you work with, but it's nighttime. It's that very elemental. It goes back to when you're a kid and you see your teacher.

[Adam Sachs]

Oh, yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

You know, in the parking lot at night, it feels weird. You attack them. That's just me.

[Adam Sachs]

No, I didn't know you meant that. It does feel weird. It feels like you've kind of, like, ran into them in an intimate way.

[Conan O'Brien]

Or something like that.

[Sona Movsesian]

But we're friends.

[Adam Sachs]

Yeah, we are.

[Sona Movsesian]

I mean, we've never. We are. Well, I mean, we've never, like, hung out and gone to the movies, you.

[Conan O'Brien]

And I, back in the day. We did plenty of hanging out.

[Sona Movsesian]

No. Yeah. We're still pals. I think.

[Conan O'Brien]

Not so much.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay. All right. Well, the three of us.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, you had children, and then suddenly they were your focus.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, I know.

[Conan O'Brien]

Which I thought was weird. I'm sorry I did that there's a distance. And then. You know what, David? I'm gonna say, since you got Atlas your new pup.

[Blay]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

You are not as attentive.

[David]

When I told you that I was looking at a dog, your first thought was, what about me?

[Conan O'Brien]

It's true. Who's gonna take me for my walk?

[David]

That's what you said.

[Adam Sachs]

Do you need to go poopy and pee pee out in the backyard? It's not.

[Blay]

Am I gonna have to clean that up?

[Conan O'Brien]

All right, guys, come on.

[Sona Movsesian]

Don't do the poo poo, pee pee humor. Come on, let's be adults, guys.

[Blay]

Sorry.

[Conan O'Brien]

You can always go a rung lower, I guess. Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

Come on.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's going to be a fantastic series of Chill Chums episodes. I'm excited about it. I'm gonna keep saying that until I believe it. I believe that these are gonna be. And I look forward to this adventure with both of you.

[Sona Movsesian]

Samesies.

[Conan O'Brien]

And I think being in that backyard together, which is just maybe. I think I'm gonna say it's 14ft from where I'm sitting right now.

[Adam Sachs]

It is probably.

[David]

Yeah, it's really close.

[Conan O'Brien]

I think that's pretty. I think 14ft's not incorrect. It's right behind the wall that Alvaro is.

[Sona Movsesian]

Alvaro.

[Adam Sachs]

He's drunk.

[Conan O'Brien]

He's drunk. Elverro. You know who Elvaro is? Dale. Elvira.

[Sona Movsesian]

I know.

[Conan O'Brien]

Alvaro's the guy I do weights with three days a week. And so I associate with him with great pain and torment. So when I looked into Eduardo's eyes.

[Adam Sachs]

I thought, I'm talking about some, like, male version of Elvira. Like, Goddess of the Dark. You know, I'm Elvira, right?

[Conan O'Brien]

Behind the wall that your back is up against is the great. And I can't wait to explore that wondrous backyard and that wall.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

All right, well, listen, if this episode sold you on what's coming up, then you're an idiot. Chill Chums. More Chill Chums coming your way pretty soon. Backyard Larchmont Studios.
