This episode explores — in Conan’s signature playful and self-deprecating style — what would happen if he, a tall, pale Irish-American, visited Marrakesh. Through a lively conversation with Yasmina, a doctor originally from Marrakesh now living in Brussels, Conan delves into Moroccan culture, food, marketplace haggling, and the comedic hypothetical of being the “tallest thing” in Marrakesh. The episode is full of humorous asides, gentle teasing, cultural curiosity, and inventive riffs.

Conan o' Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit teamcoco.com callkonan okay, let's get started.

[Sonam Obsessive]

Hi, Yasmeena. Welcome to Conan O' Brien needs a fan.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hey. Hi, Yasmeena. How are you?

[Yasmina]

I'm good. How are you guys?

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

I am from Morocco and I live in Brussels.

[Conan O'Brien]

You live in Brussels. Okay.

[Yasmina]

But I'm from Morocco.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

I went to Brussels because medical school is cheap here.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, and.

[Yasmina]

The weather's 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.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

So I'm from Marrakech.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, Marrakesh. Okay. I've never been to Morocco. I've never been to Marrakech. If you're familiar with me at all, I assume you are because you've called in. You listen to the podcast. Are you familiar at all with the volume of work, the TV show, the clips? Yeah. There'll be a test.

[Yasmina]

I am aware. I am aware of all the things.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Matt Gourley]

That's such a sad way to ask. Do you watch my show? Have you seen my show?

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, well, I'm trying to.

[Matt Gourley]

My podcast. Are you.

[Conan O'Brien]

What do you like? What do you like that I do? This is all leading up to something crucial.

[Yasmina]

Yes, I know. I can feel it.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes, you can feel it.

[Yasmina]

And very ominous.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, 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 it 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?

[Yasmina]

You'd be the tallest thing there.

[Conan O'Brien]

Not even human. The tall. I'd be the tallest thing, the tallest everything. Wow.

[Yasmina]

You'd also have the Whitestone.

[Conan O'Brien]

You don't have a mountain that's higher than 6 foot, 4 inches. No, this is the mighty mountain. Greatest man we have is 6 foot 2 in his shoes.

[Yasmina]

You'd be towering over everything.

[Conan O'Brien]

Wow.

[Yasmina]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

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 Marrakech?

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. I sound like I'd be right at home.

[Sonam Obsessive]

Yeah, you found your people.

[Conan O'Brien]

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.

[Yasmina]

Okay. So the culture. So there's the Moroccan culture and then there's Marrakesh sort of vibe, which is much light hearted than the rest of the cities. It's. We're very cool, we're chill. We don't. We don't really take ourselves seriously.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Yasmina]

Which is perfect for you. I'm guessing.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Yasmina]

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. Little microcosm.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes, yes.

[Yasmina]

People. But we still. America is very open to everything. So you. You. You'd be. You'd fit in perfectly. I think I would, like, maybe. Maybe a little shorter than.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

A jalaba?

[Yasmina]

Yeah. And it's like a long sweater and. But you're so tall. It would fit like a mini skirt.

[Sonam Obsessive]

I'd like to see that.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. So. So now I'm picturing myself walking through Marrakech, like, through a bazaar, a market. Are there markets there? I'm. I'm guessing that's my image in my head, maybe just based on movies and things, but walking through a market, and I'm wearing a long. A mini skirt and maybe high heels, and I have a clutch. A clutch bag and a little sassy.

[Yasmina]

A nice leg tan.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Yasmina]

With that.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Wow. And what's the food like? I mean, what kind of food do you see me eating there?

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes, 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.

[Yasmina]

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.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Matt Gourley]

Oh, snap. Shots fired.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay, Yasmina, first of all, potato famine was quite a serious matter. There was literally no food to eat, and that's why some of my people left. But, no, I. I think you thought.

[Sonam Obsessive]

They left Ireland just because they didn't.

[Conan O'Brien]

Like the taste of potatoes.

[Yasmina]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

But no, I think, first of all, it was wrong for your Irish friend. Well, first of all, I'm going To 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 I said originally. Originally, my people are from Ireland. But that's the first thing. Second of all, I don't think anyone from Ireland should be dissing couscous and saying it tastes like cardboard because, you know, it's just not. It's not right. And also, plenty of dishes in Ireland that taste like cardboard and are cardboard and quite good, actually. Are they very good cardboard?

[Matt Gourley]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

No, I don't think she said that.

[Matt Gourley]

Well, that's what I got, and I agree with.

[Yasmina]

Yeah, right. That's what I meant.

[Conan O'Brien]

Give me five. Best Stewart I've ever had was in Ireland. I'll say it right down. They made it with Guinness. It was delicious.

[Matt Gourley]

So cabbage.

[Conan O'Brien]

There was no cabbage in there.

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

Various Tajines. Various Tajin and assortment of Tajin.

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, I like it. I like it. It's very tactile. It's very. Are you getting creeped out the way you said it? I'm gonna be honest. I think it's very erotic to eat food with your hands and your fingers and be sucking on your fingers to get the sauces off. I'll get you a fork. I love that. It's very. No, no.

[Yasmina]

I'll get you a fork or a spoon.

[Conan O'Brien]

I like you, Yasmina. I like you. And tell me, family. Do you have family in Marrakesh?

[Yasmina]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Yasmina]

I have my parents who live in Marrakesh, and my older brother lives in Marrakesh. Well, went back to Marrakesh. She used to live.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

Yes, and then a younger brother in Canada.

[Conan O'Brien]

In Canada. That's. 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?

[Matt Gourley]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

If we're going to eat finger food together, I should meet your. I should meet your parents first and your brother.

[Sonam Obsessive]

You have to ask permission.

[Conan O'Brien]

I have to ask permission to eat finger food? What are your intentions? What are your intentions? I'm going to eat some. Some couscous with my fingers.

[Sonam Obsessive]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

We don't talk enough about the unsung heroes of our show. You know, people know they're Matt Gourley. They know they're Sonam Obsessian. They certainly know they're Conan o'. Brien. But I'm talking about the invisible co hosts. Our furniture. Oh, yeah. I've done some shows in uncomfortable furniture. Yeah, terrible. You can tell the whole time that I'm in agony. That's why when Ashley offered to sponsor the Live from LA event and said that Sona could choose the onstage furniture, we jumped at the chance.

[Matt Gourley]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

How did you do it?

[Matt Gourley]

Well, I. I'm. I am doing interior decorating now. I designed Blaze Place. I designed my parents place.

[Conan O'Brien]

You do have good taste.

[Matt Gourley]

So I was just like, hey, I want to do this. And it was surprising that no one said I couldn't. So I just choose whatever sofas I wanted, whatever chairs I wanted. Rugs, cute little side tables.

[Conan O'Brien]

Great. You used a Talora chairs and loveseat.

[Matt Gourley]

Yes, I did.

Well, I, I use my body a lot and my face to convey all. Yeah, I'm. I'm very. I'm. I, 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.

[Matt Gourley]

That's true.

[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.

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

Yeah. But, yeah, you'd get along. Even with my mother.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, no problem. Yeah. What do you keep saying? Even with your mother. Is your mother tough?

[Yasmina]

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. Yeah, whatever your talents are.

[Conan O'Brien]

Whatever my talents are.

[Yasmina]

No, I mean, like. Like if you can speak with your.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hands, you're talking to Conan o' Brien here and you're saying, whatever your talents are. What is that? What is that? Wow. All right. Well, this is. I mean, this is exciting. I think Morocco is a place I've never been, and I could see myself, you know. Oh, would I. Would I ride a camel in Morocco?

[Yasmina]

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 because they're also big and they have. They have long legs, short torso, Ginger. I mean.

[Conan O'Brien]

So you think I'm a camel?

[Yasmina]

No, I mean, they might.

[Conan O'Brien]

You just.

[Matt Gourley]

Camels might think you're with you.

[Conan O'Brien]

Camels might bond with them. Right. You think a camel might try to mate with me because it thinks I'm another camel? No.

[Yasmina]

No.

[Conan O'Brien]

If I'm wearing a mini skirt and you're doing your erotic fingerprint, if I'm wearing a miniskirt and I'm doing my erotic couscous, you know, eating with my fingers, I could see a camel siling up to me and going.

[Yasmina]

Yeah, there you go. Exactly. You could bond with the camels. You could talk about world affairs, world politics. I don't know. I don't know what camels talk about.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Sonam Obsessive]

I like that.

[Conan O'Brien]

This plan is all fine, except what.

[Sonam Obsessive]

You talk about is up to you.

[Conan O'Brien]

Because that part I don't know the camel's about is your business.

[Matt Gourley]

I don't know what camel's talking about. Hey, I love that.

[Conan O'Brien]

I have to say, the idea of me going to say a market 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.

[Yasmina]

No, you just. You don't look stupid. Come on. But you look. You look different. So they'd be like, how did this camel get here?

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, I can sell this camel anything. This camel doesn't know. So what? Could you help me if I was in a market. Let's say I was in a market in Morocco, in Marrakech, and it's a busy. You know, and people are trying to take advantage of me because they think I'm a camel that wandered in. Would you be able to help me in those situations?

[Yasmina]

I would definitely be able to help you. Because basically what tourists do in general is they would. For instance, I want to sell. I want to sell this pen to you. And you'd say, how much is this pen? And I'd say, well, it's a thousand dollars. And you go, that's a bit much. Can you make it like 900? 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 want it for free. And then they would go, oh, well, that's a little exaggerated. Maybe I'll sell it for, like, 500. Tourists go, if it's a thousand, they go, 900. And then the other guy would go, 950. 950. You really have to go really low.

[Conan O'Brien]

Really go to zero. I'm gonna go to zero.

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes. What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna actually say things like, that's the worst lamp I've ever seen. I hate that lamp. And I would never want that lamp in my house. I lo. Lamp. I despise it. It makes me want to break it as well. I want to smash it to pieces. And then I start with that, and then I say, but I might. Might take it.

[Sonam Obsessive]

And he goes, a thousand dollars.

[Conan O'Brien]

And you go, I'll take it.

[Yasmina]

Yeah.

[Sonam Obsessive]

I mean, 1200.

[Yasmina]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Commercial Announcer]

How about 15?

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. Not 12. 17, 18.

[Sonam Obsessive]

Oh, my God, this camel's made of money over here.

[Yasmina]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

What do you think's in the hump?

[Yasmina]

Which you can 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 real.

[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.

[Sonam Obsessive]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

I'm a doctor.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

It's all right. Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, what kind of doctor are you?

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

Or, like, if we see a foot, we just say foot. But. But, no, no, no.

[Conan O'Brien]

Who's going to a doctor to find out? Is this indeed my foot? Yes, it's your foot. No, that'll be 1,000.

[Yasmina]

We go, it's broken. How do I fix it? I don't know.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay, so. Yeah, but you look at bones all the time, right?

[Yasmina]

No, it's. So I'm a radiologist, and I work mainly in abdominal radiology. And. And what do you call it in English? Breast imaging.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

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

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay. Wow. You're retiring in six months pretty young. That's incredible. No, I've been replaced by AI this is an AI Conan you're talking to right now.

[Yasmina]

Yes, this is an AI Yasmina.

[Conan O'Brien]

You're talking very nice. I knew. There's something I liked about you. We share a synthetic quality. I like you, Yasmina, and you're very funny. And I think you're a fine representative of Marrakech, Morocco. And I do hope one day I get to meet your parents. Eat finger foods in front of them.

[Yasmina]

We'll get you a fork.

[Conan O'Brien]

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

[Yasmina]

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.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh. Oh, thank you very much. Saying I don't look like a woman is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Looks like a Belgian camel. Yeah. Well, thank you very much for that and I hope our paths cross sometime in the future.

[Yasmina]

I hope so, too.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay.

[Yasmina]

If Trump lets me in. I mean, he's Papua.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a big fan of yours.

[Yasmina]

All right.

[Conan O'Brien]

All right. Take care. Bye Bye. Bye.

[Yasmina]

Take care.
