Guys, I'm gonna ask you a question. What better way is there to make summer memories than having s' mores with Hershey's milk chocolate?

[Matt Gourley]

None that I can think of.

[Conan O'Brien]

There's nothing. Toasted marshmallows, melted Hershey's chocolate, crunchy graham crackers. The classic tast brings family and friends together for Ooey gooey good times. And I'm saying that with a straight face. Yeah. And college diploma. Ooey gooey good times make s' more memories. See what I did this summer with Hershey's milk chocolate?

[Matt Gourley]

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]

Hey, Conan O' Brien here. And welcome back to Summer S' Mores 2025, baby.

[Matt Gourley]

Oh, outside and feeling alive.

[Conan O'Brien]

What? And that's no jive.

[Matt Gourley]

Okay, well.

[Conan O'Brien]

And sometimes I get the hives. I love that actor whose last name is Clive.

[Matt Gourley]

Are you talking about Clive Owen? The one with the first name of Clive?

[Conan O'Brien]

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.

[Matt Gourley]

I like it.

[Conan O'Brien]

I want to tell everyone where we are. We are. This is the first for us. It's daytime.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

We traditionally do summer s' mores at night. 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 Octopus, 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.

[Matt Gourley]

That's not true.

[Conan O'Brien]

Shut up. Okay. Shut up.

[Sona Movsesian]

It's not.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hey, it's my new improv guy. Shut up. Shut up.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

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.

[Matt Gourley]

You shut up.

[Conan O'Brien]

Shut up.

[Matt Gourley]

You shut up.

[Conan O'Brien]

Shut up. You shut up. You shut up. And scene. Yay. They broke through the wall. A new kind of improv. Upright citizens brigade out of work. So I don't go outside the studio much because my foe is the sun, or as I call him, Old Sol, 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.

[Sona Movsesian]

Right.

[Conan O'Brien]

I like to be entombed within my little studios and podcast places.

[Sona Movsesian]

And.

[Conan O'Brien]

And so to come outside is a bold move, but we have an ally.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

L.L. bean.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

L.L. bean supplied these incredible umbrellas, which are making me feel safe outdoors.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's good.

[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.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

What do you mean?

[Sona Movsesian]

That's. That's good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Sona, you're adding so much to today's podcast.

[Matt Gourley]

I know you're head to toe in dark clothing on a pretty sunny day.

[Conan O'Brien]

Very lightweight clothing.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yeah.

[Matt Gourley]

You know, a full jacket, it's, like, gotta be warmer. It's gotta be mid-80s right now.

[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, and he's got Ray Bans on or sunglasses of some kind. I don't know. Speaking of sunglasses, Sonas, your sunglasses look great.

[Sona Movsesian]

Thank you. They are, L.L. bean.

[Conan O'Brien]

Are they really?

[Sona Movsesian]

They really are.

[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.

[Sona Movsesian]

No, they. I didn't either. And then right before we were gonna record, I. I grabbed these and I put them on. I looked.

[Conan O'Brien]

You are a bit of a shoplifter. I grabbed some sunglasses and took them.

[Sona Movsesian]

If things are laying around, I'm going to take them.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's why you've been kicked out of many museums. Everything here, the umbrellas, these mugs that we're drinking out of.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

I mean, Gorli, there's a Cooler over there. I bet it's got some cold ones in it.

[Sona Movsesian]

We could put our feet up, right?

[Conan O'Brien]

Sure.

[Matt Gourley]

We're the Chilchums. If you can't put your feet up, who can? It's summer s'. Mores.

[Conan O'Brien]

Summer s' mores is back. We're outside. We're in the cool little sort of grassy area behind my. My podcast. My sort of Stark Industries.

[Sona Movsesian]

Have you ever been back here?

[Conan O'Brien]

I said before, not really.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, okay. My dog's peed here a couple times.

[Conan O'Brien]

I can tell. Getting that sort of harsh ammonia smell. I can tell they had asparagus. Oh, what? What's that? Okay, guys, feel free to jump in at any time or I'll just carry the whole show. Anyway, I can't, thanks to. Oh, and These chairs are L.L. bean. Great back support.

[Sona Movsesian]

I'm taking all of this stuff, by the way. No, I'm not even joking.

[Matt Gourley]

She's already brokered this deal before we even started. She gets to keep all this.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh. You know, my house burned down.

[Conan O'Brien]

You lost your house. As did many people in the Altadena fire.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

And you have. You lived with your parents for a while now you have moved into a new place. Still figuring out what your going to do with the old Altadena property.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, well, we're going to rebuild it. We know that.

[Conan O'Brien]

Would you like me to rebuild it?

[Sona Movsesian]

Absolutely not. I don't think I've ever seen you hold a hammer.

[Conan O'Brien]

Never have. But I'd like to try. I will build the. The sort of main structure of the house.

[Matt Gourley]

No, that's not a good idea.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, we're going to do it and we're going to record it and monetize it.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's a hard no for me.

[Conan O'Brien]

I mean, new reality show. Conan will try it.

[Sona Movsesian]

No, no, that's a terrible idea. Well, wait, yeah, maybe. You know what? Conan will try it like. Oh, I'll try. You'll try like scuba diving or you'll try playing beach volleyball?

[Conan O'Brien]

I die in the second season. Okay, first episode, second season. And it's just playing. It's just not even playing volleyball. It's just going out to play volleyball and there's sunlight. But these, these chairs are great. You're going to take everything?

[Sona Movsesian]

I'm gonna take everything.

[Conan O'Brien]

Because your place isn't furnished right.

[Sona Movsesian]

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 going to take them and.

[Conan O'Brien]

Wow, this is good.

[Sona Movsesian]

So thank you. To L.L. bean. And these sunglasses, too.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

And this.

[Conan O'Brien]

Do we know that we're allowed to keep this stuff?

[Sona Movsesian]

I don't know.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're just going to take it?

[Matt Gourley]

They have to give it to you.

[Conan O'Brien]

I mean, they have to now.

[Sona Movsesian]

What are they going to do? Is. Is Bean going to come and take it from my trunk?

[Conan O'Brien]

Excuse me. It's llb.

[Sona Movsesian]

I know, but I'm just.

[Conan O'Brien]

Only. I can call them. Bean.

[Matt Gourley]

It's Lost leader Bean. He'll give it to you.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hey, Bean.

[Sona Movsesian]

I know.

[Conan O'Brien]

In my head, Bean.

[Sona Movsesian]

Ll is one guy and Bean is another guy.

[Matt Gourley]

You're thinking of Abercrombie and Fitch or something.

[Conan O'Brien]

When LL met Bean, they knew magic had been formed. It's not Wilburn Orville Wright, but it's really nice back here. I have not appreciated. We have a lovely spot back here.

[Matt Gourley]

This is gorgeous.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, it's really nice. We should hang out here more often.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, I should hang out here more often. You know, 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.

[Sona Movsesian]

Of what?

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't know, like a Buddha or something. Cool and calming, you know, I thought.

[Sona Movsesian]

You meant a statue of you for a second.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, no, I'm. You know. I know I do bitch about it.

[Matt Gourley]

A little fountain statue of you peeing in the fountain. Like a little baby Conan.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, like those little.

[Conan O'Brien]

So it would have a baby penis.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Matt Gourley]

Yes. It was teeny, teeny tiny.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's your favorite. It's your favorite thing to do as a joke. Because you. You drew me with a micro phallus on the album and you were so delighted with that.

[Matt Gourley]

I still am. I call him like I've seen him. We've shared a shower, you know.

[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, well, let's get a statue made.

[Matt Gourley]

And maybe it can be all pipe. You know, it's just a little guy.

[Conan O'Brien]

All right.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, God.

[Matt Gourley]

Just a little guy.

[Conan O'Brien]

So the water's just going right into the ground. It's a penis that's jammed into the ground and it goes four feet down. Waters the whole aquifer. You didn't think that was cool?

[Matt Gourley]

Larchmont is irrigated by Conan.

[Conan O'Brien]

Didn't take us long. I love. There's some nice flowers here. What kind of flowers are those? Are those.

[Matt Gourley]

Is that bougainvillea?

[Conan O'Brien]

I just wanted. I don't really know my flowers. It's. It's terrible.

[Matt Gourley]

I don't know if anyone was a kid. That's how 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.

[Conan O'Brien]

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. What do you call them? Conduit. Well, conduit. Thank you. Thank you very much, Eduardo. You're welcome. And I want to acknowledge that you're here as well. You're a God. He's a good looking guy.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Thank you. All of this. He's fit.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah. We are a good looking bunch.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm just acknowledging Eduardo for now. We're gonna sprinkle out acknowledgments as we go.

[Sona Movsesian]

We'll work, seriously.

[Conan O'Brien]

But anyway, easy on the highs. Okay. There's conduit and there's all this conduit on the back of the building. And it's very garish. Electrical conduit. It's all over the place because there's a ton of wiring went into the building. And I suddenly went, oh, that's too bad. And the plain, oh, don't worry. Those are instantly gonna be covered in vines and flowers.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[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.

[Sona Movsesian]

Can I just say something?

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

You have to say if either Matt or I brought up electrical cables.

[Matt Gourley]

You're so right.

[Sona Movsesian]

The way you would just shit on us. You just talked so much about electrical cables.

[Conan O'Brien]

I didn't just talk about it.

[Sona Movsesian]

And conduits. You were like, what's the word for it?

[Conan O'Brien]

I didn't talk.

[Sona Movsesian]

It's conduit.

[Conan O'Brien]

I didn't just talk. I opined.

[Sona Movsesian]

Nobody can see these.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Matt Gourley]

But wasted real estate in audio podcast.

[Conan O'Brien]

It'S just when we 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 a Chianti and you could enjoy the nice nature that's back here instead. I mean, it looks like we're powering 15 iron lungs.

[Matt Gourley]

You really find the best in everything, don't you?

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, you do.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, I'M just saying I see the.

[Matt Gourley]

World and I see a world of pergola with this.

[Conan O'Brien]

I know.

[Dr. Arroyo]

What is that?

[Matt Gourley]

Like a wisteria vine?

[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.

[Sona Movsesian]

Have you put up?

[Conan O'Brien]

I put up.

[Sona Movsesian]

All right.

[Conan O'Brien]

I had it installed and it can. We have. We can return missile fire if we need to. This place is ready to go.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay. All right. I. Sometimes I think someone can just walk in from the street.

[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 about you. Yeah, but no, we. People can wander in.

[Sona Movsesian]

That's cool.

[Conan O'Brien]

Gates often unlocked. Sorry to get that out there. This episode is brought to you by L.L. 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.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's a very small girl's bike. Oh, from. Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

Does it have a basket in the front?

[Conan O'Brien]

It has a basket.

[Matt Gourley]

Banana seat.

[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 L.L. bean, getting outside can be enjoyable for everyone. Just because you're outside doesn't mean you can't be organized. The L.L. bean campsite organizer has three shelves for keeping everything you need, like picnic gear, grilling tools, or snacks.

You have to admit, kind of a perfect sponsor for summer s'. Mores. Hershey's the chocolate bar in America. I think the world now you can s' more like never before with Hershey's milk chocolate with caramel. These are people that won a long time ago and they're not satisfied. They keep thinking of new ways to to delight us.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Sweet new take on the classic treat. This Hershey's milk chocolate with caramel groundbreaking delight. Delivers an over the top s' mores experience. Each Hershey's caramel bar is perfectly sized for s'. Mores. They did this. They engineered it with s' mores in mind. Delivering optimum ooey gooey goodness in every bite. And I say that with great sincerity. It's not just goodness, it's ooey gooey goodness. Boy, you laugh when no one else did. So grab your chums and gather round for toasted marshmallows, crunchy graham crackers, and new Hershey's caramel bars. Only a fool could resist a s' mores like this. I think they're talking to me. Yeah, I'm not a fan of a s', mores, but you know what? They're tempting me a little bit with this new chocolate confection they've arranged. It's an indulgent new way to make summer memories. Try Hershey's milk chocolate with caramel today. Smore more.

[Matt Gourley]

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.

[Conan O'Brien]

Gina Lollobrigida.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes, that's right.

[Conan O'Brien]

When I go back, Happy birthday. With a reference. I go back with a reference. 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.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Hello. Always better with Dr. Arroyo.

[Sona Movsesian]

Nice to see you.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Oh, hi.

[Sona Movsesian]

We've met.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Hello, Conor.

[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. Thank you. Were you ministered to me? You cared for me?

[Dr. Arroyo]

I think I saved your life.

[Conan O'Brien]

You probably did. Only to prolong it and make it even worse.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're here to offer me advice?

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

Here's the question. I consult you about everything. It's hard to find you. You don't have an office.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I don't have an office. That makes it Harder to get served. Okay, so I just kind of a loose cannon. I roam the streets.

[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.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Oh, does it sound like this?

[Conan O'Brien]

Hello?

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes, that would be.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're tough to nail down. Yes, but. And often when we meet, you don't have an office.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I don't have an office.

[Conan O'Brien]

And you have met me in a parking garage. You prefer a higher level.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes, exactly. Exactly. I get a workout that way. And. 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.

[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?

[Dr. Arroyo]

First of all, let's just see how hot the sun is today.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're using a. Wait, you're using a. It's pretty hot. What reading are you getting?

[Dr. Arroyo]

Well, it only goes up to a billion.

[Conan O'Brien]

Ok. Wow, that's amazing. And those are usually. I see. They use those at the doctor's office to take temperature.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Exactly.

[Conan O'Brien]

You are recording the temperature of the sun with that.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes, yes, it is. And by the way, you mentioned that the sun is your enemy. It is not your enemy. Your son is your friend who wants to kill you. Okay, there's a slit.

[Conan O'Brien]

A frenemy.

[Dr. Arroyo]

A frenemy. Exactly.

[Conan O'Brien]

Exactly.

[Dr. Arroyo]

We need the sun.

[Conan O'Brien]

So what do you recommend, Dr. With. Please tell me you went to medical school.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I did go to an accredited. It was accredited at the time.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes, I did go to a medical school.

[Conan O'Brien]

And what is on that site now that was once your medical school?

[Dr. Arroyo]

Oh, it's. Well, there's no, There's. Yeah, they had to take the whole site down. It was on. It was on Juno.com. i don't think anybody remembers. Yeah, yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. Anyway, the point is, and I think I'm making a good point here, one must look after their skin.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Absolutely.

[Conan O'Brien]

Always consult your personal physician or dermatologist or in your case, clearly a sham artist. What's that?

[Dr. Arroyo]

I have a lot of bravado.

[Conan O'Brien]

I have a lot of bravado. I have a lot of bravado and.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I think that goes a long way in the medical profession.

[Conan O'Brien]

What do you think about my skin?

[Dr. Arroyo]

As we all know, the skin is the largest organ in the body.

[Conan O'Brien]

And second largest. Cha Ching.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, God.

[Conan O'Brien]

Right. Right.

[Dr. Arroyo]

When it's engorged with food, the intestines can be big. But in this case, I think the skin is large.

[Sona Movsesian]

So.

[Conan O'Brien]

But I think.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Barrier protection.

[Conan O'Brien]

Barrier protection.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Barrier protection.

[Conan O'Brien]

So what would you recommend I apply to my skin?

[Dr. Arroyo]

Probably a sunscreen of a high spf. Of course, the. This. I happen to have some here. And we can just put some on the top of your hand here. Just put some here.

[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. Yeah, exactly.

[Dr. Arroyo]

This is a sterilized spatula. Okay. You took it out of your waist sterile pocket. And this is the sterile pocket.

[Conan O'Brien]

We couldn't hear you. That was the American Medical association helicopter.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Dropping information leaflets to stay away from me.

[Conan O'Brien]

I understand. Listen, you use a spatula to apply sunscreen.

[Dr. Arroyo]

It's more sanitary that way.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't think. Okay. I've never thought of that.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I already rinsed it. I had scrambled eggs this morning. But this is. We're gonna. So we're just gonna put it on there. And that creates a barrier that will protect you from the sun.

[Conan O'Brien]

That is a lot of sunscreen. It is.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Well, you need a lot of sunscreen because you don't have any melanin.

[Conan O'Brien]

I have no melanin.

[Dr. Arroyo]

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.

[Conan O'Brien]

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.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Below the knuckles.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes. I like.

[Conan O'Brien]

You like it aesthetically?

[Dr. Arroyo]

Aesthetically, I like. I like this sort of the panda look. A little white, a little darker.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Okay. Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

I. I appreciate your counsel.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Thank you.

[Conan O'Brien]

I appreciate your friendship.

[Matt Gourley]

Sure.

[Conan O'Brien]

I appreciate your absurdly low rates.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes.

[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 charge nothing afterwards.

[Dr. Arroyo]

That's right. That's right. I keep my fees low and I keep moving. That's my M.O. 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. Anyway, now we have a dear.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, at rehearsal.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I didn't rehearse that.

[Conan O'Brien]

I can't believe there was a rehearsal here.

[Dr. Arroyo]

There was no rehearsal.

[Matt Gourley]

But did you notice this star just got fixed by his own gaze in the mirror?

[Dr. Arroyo]

I do.

[Conan O'Brien]

Listen, I get the joke that I'm a star and I'm vain. It is a joke. And that was the bit.

[Dr. Arroyo]

That was the big.

[Conan O'Brien]

I think it didn't land because people see me as a humble man, a man grounded, a man who is anything but starlike. I just. I'm like a simple monk wandering the earth.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Oh, my God.

[Conan O'Brien]

Spreading seeds of joy and wisdom.

[Dr. Arroyo]

So I wish I was a therapist.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. I wish you were, too. Well, you could go to that medical school and have it shut down.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're a fine man, Dr. Royal.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Conan O'Brien]

And we will not judge you on whether this bit did well or did poorly.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Well, I'm assuming we're going to cut it in editing.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, no.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I will look like a rose.

[Conan O'Brien]

I will continue, Mr. OR. I'm sorry, Doctor. Doctor.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Doctor is my birth name. I was christened Dr. Arroyo. That's how I can get away with it.

[Conan O'Brien]

The Christian name is Dr. Arroyo is doctor. You are a monster. Look what I'm doing. I'm spreading what you did there to hear.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

And this is, I think, a very wise thing I'm doing is perfect. But, Dr. Arroyo, thank you very much. I know you're busy. He said sarcastically. Maybe we'll see you later on.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Sounds good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Summer s'. Mores.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I'm always here. I have a Motorola flip phone. It's a Motorola flip phone. Yes. It's the latest.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're getting a call from Gerald Ford. What's happening here?

[Dr. Arroyo]

I have an appointment. I will see you the latest.

[Sona Movsesian]

The latest from 1997.

[Conan O'Brien]

Where are you going? You got it. You got an appointment.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I do, yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Dr. Arroyo]

It was a very nice. Pleasure meeting all of you. I'm gonna get those sunglasses back. Sanne, would you take the. I will take the mirror.

[Conan O'Brien]

Take the mirror a bit away. And also. But leave the L.L. bean tripod.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Very good.

[Conan O'Brien]

No one makes a tripod like L.L. bean.

[Dr. Arroyo]

All right. See you at the next screen.

[Matt Gourley]

Because I'm a little exposed.

[Conan O'Brien]

Of course, of course.

[Matt Gourley]

Thank you.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. Wow. You didn't even try to be inept. All right. Oh, my God. That was Dr. Arroyo doing the best throw he could? Wow, that was terrible.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I hope there's no.

[Conan O'Brien]

Please. That again. I'm sure there's not an instant replay for that. To see that again and to know that Dr. Arroyo wasn't trying to do something funny.

[Matt Gourley]

This is just cake frosting, by the way.

[Conan O'Brien]

I know. It is. It is. He stole that from a bakery somewhere. There's a very sad wedding cake, doctor. Enjoy your summer, Dr. Royal. I think I've said goodbye to you nine different times.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I think so. I will see myself like a fart in an elevator.

[Conan O'Brien]

Get out of here.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I will move on right now.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Are those for anybody or.

[Conan O'Brien]

We're not talking about these yet. It's going to be a later segment.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I see.

[Conan O'Brien]

I promise you there will be food available, and I'm sure your pockets are lined with tin foil, per usual.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yes. Oh, a lot of cold cuts in there now.

[Conan O'Brien]

All right. Okay.

[Sona Movsesian]

Isn't that the sterile pocket?

[Matt Gourley]

Well, it's got food in there.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's got to be sterile salami. Well, it was nice to see Dr. Royal.

[Sona Movsesian]

I love him so much.

[Conan O'Brien]

He's a terrible, terrible physician.

[Sona Movsesian]

He's really bad.

[Conan O'Brien]

He's very bad. But I keep him on, and kids love him, and I can't wait till he has his own show.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

So he doesn't come on ours, but this is quite nice, I have to say. It's nice to be outside.

[Matt Gourley]

Good things coming up here for this series, do we?

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't know. I. I want to say. I. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't give this any thought. I just came in, and I'm sure you've been scheming and scheming and scheming.

[Sona Movsesian]

When is the alcohol coming?

[Matt Gourley]

That comes in the third episode of these four.

[Conan O'Brien]

Outside.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Yeah.

[Matt Gourley]

So we've got s', mores, we've got a game or two, we've got alcohol, we've got more. Dr. Arroyo, if we need it.

[Conan O'Brien]

Right? If we need it.

[Matt Gourley]

I need it.

[Conan O'Brien]

I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be happier. Summer s' mores is here again. As you know, I get as giddy as Satan at a terrible tragedy. I love it.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, my God.

[Conan O'Brien]

What?

[Sona Movsesian]

What?

[Conan O'Brien]

I was just picturing Satan and he's like, everyone's really sad because something bad happened.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

And he's really happy.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, he's really okay. I thought, because a lot of people died, and he's like, I get to take people to hell.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, it works anyway. Why are we talking about it?

[Matt Gourley]

This is you giddy?

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, I know you seem very like.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm not giddy at all.

[Matt Gourley]

Those conduits are really getting you down.

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't know. It's the conduits draining me of my essential life force. 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, I apologize.

[Matt Gourley]

Do you remember that last year at your place too? He was this way. He was a little, like, a little.

[Sona Movsesian]

You were sick last year. Yeah, you were sick and you were. You know.

[Conan O'Brien]

How sick was I? What did I have?

[Sona Movsesian]

You had like a cold.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, like a.

[Sona Movsesian]

Just a regular cold.

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't believe in going, oh, no, I'm sick. I believe you. Tough it out.

[Sona Movsesian]

I. That is absolutely not you. You're very like, I'm cold. I have a cold.

[Conan O'Brien]

Give me medicine. That's the impress. Look, I will take some medications. I'll take medications even when I'm not sick. I love pills and powders.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

Potions and oils. Oh, you just lazily. You just. That was a summer s' mores rap sign if ever I've seen one.

[Matt Gourley]

Blay made this.

[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.

[Dr. Arroyo]

Who can say this is exactly what it should be.

[Matt Gourley]

We are now arriving at what summer s' mores should be, which is. Cause it used to be with Conan and the Chil Chums.

[Conan O'Brien]

Is it not still?

[Matt Gourley]

Well, it is, but we gotta remember to put the chill back in summer.

[Sona Movsesian]

What? What?

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't know what's happening.

[Matt Gourley]

If you guys were chill enough, you'd go along with that. All right.

[Sona Movsesian]

No.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay, well, no one said this would be a good show.

[Matt Gourley]

No, you're right.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm asking way too much. I love that. I'm staring at garbage here.

[Matt Gourley]

Jesus Christ.

[Sona Movsesian]

Talking about things no one can see.

[Conan O'Brien]

I can't see it. I'm looking right at it. The gates open. That's our garbage out.

[Matt Gourley]

You're harsh in our buzz.

[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 come back here when we invite them all to this very small space. 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 kind of chill and mellow and then it just starts to become a house of fire.

[Sona Movsesian]

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.

[Matt Gourley]

Moved it up this year.

[Sona Movsesian]

Let's bring it up even further.

[Matt Gourley]

Okay, well, I gotta go make it. Yeah, we did it on the fourth episode last time. This time we're going back.

[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. Yeah, but this is pre Internet.

[Matt Gourley]

Latest Motorola.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Yeah. So we'll find out. But tune in next week for the third installment of Chil 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.

[Dr. Arroyo]

I'm sorry, but you've said goodbye at least ten times.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm sorry.

[Dr. Arroyo]

So I don't know how you can get on me about delaying my exit when you're doing okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

See you next time. Thank you, Dr. Royo. You saved my life.
