Okay, let's get started.
Hi there, Mohamed.
Please meet Conan O'Brien.
Hello, hello.
Mohamed, how are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
How are you?
Well, I'm good now.
It's nice to talk to you.
It's nice to meet you, Mohamed.
And I'd love to know a little bit about you.
Where are you right now, Mohammed?
So right now, I'm in my family home in Dublin, in Ireland.
I grew up here. I've lived here for my whole life. And for the past three, four years now, I've been going to university in Bulgaria. I'm a fourth year medical student out there. Hold on a second. I got to piece this together. Your name is Mohammed. You grew up in Ireland and you go to the University of Bulgaria. Yes. That's right. That's fascinating. That's fascinating. You are, man, you are a shapeshifter. I love this. You're defying expectations. I mean, you've got that.
I mean, I love that Dublin accent.
You've got that amazing accent that I would kill for.
I was born here.
My family came here about 25 years ago from Pakistan.
So I was born here, grew up here, raised in Dublin,
and now traveling as well, trying to become a doctor.
Well, that's very impressive.
What kind of you're studying medicine at the University of Bulgaria?
Yeah, medicine.
So just general medicine right now.
And then after another three years,
then I can specialize and decide what I want to do further.
And what do you think you want?
want to do in medicine?
So something, something surgery-wise, I think, would interest me quite a lot.
I'd like this.
So you don't even have a specific desire other than to cut into people.
Exactly.
Just give me a knife.
I want that power, at least.
No, technically you can just do that anywhere, anytime.
Yeah.
Technically, I could.
Well, Mohammed, Matt brings up a good point.
I've cut into people and I have not been to medical school.
I have no medical training.
You have no, yeah.
You know, but I've lost it a few times.
And a few times I wasn't even angry.
I just wanted to investigate.
I've got to the brink of that point a few times, I'd say.
Yeah, yeah.
I would think in Dublin sometimes you've had too many at a pub,
and you've done a little surrog.
You've probably done some surgery
or had some surgery done to you.
I shouldn't speak on that, but there may be sometimes.
So that's exciting.
So you're not sure you want to do some kind of surgery.
You're not really sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Something in that field, yeah.
Well, what are your interests?
Like, I'm curious about that.
What are your interests?
What do you like to do in your downtime?
So on the side, while I'm out there, I'm actually a DJ, a part-time sort of DJ on the side.
You have surprised me at every turn.
And this is a compliment.
You defy categorization.
You're just everywhere.
You know, I'm Mohammed.
Okay.
I'm from Dublin.
Oh, you're from Dublin.
Well, then you go to school at Trinity.
No, I'm at the University of Bulgaria.
Oh.
And what do you do?
I'm a DJ.
Yeah, you're our first surgeon DJ.
I think I choose every single avenue that is totally left.
field from what is the norm. So yeah, I enjoy, I enjoy music. I enjoy like playing music, listening to
music and all that. So that's what's your, what's your handle in the, in the clubs?
You're just pretty simple, DJ Mo. Basically.
Yeah. I'll give you a shout out. DJ Mo. Oh, thank you very much.
Mohammed, DJ Mo out there in Dublin, I'm guessing. Yeah, in Dublin, yeah. And what kind of music?
So a lot of, a lot of hip-hop, a lot of pop, but then a lot of UK-based sort of
It's called, the genre is called Grime.
So a lot of like basement style, like underground sort of music like that.
So that's pretty big right now in Europe right now.
I Google that.
That's interesting.
Grime.
So it's starting to get big in America, but like Skepta, Stormsy, artists like that are very, very big now.
You know, it's interesting because people talk about, they say it's basement music.
And I think, yeah, I used to listen to ABA in the basement.
I used to listen to Oreo Speedwagon in the basement.
that doesn't do it for me.
I listen to the Partridge family in the basement.
That's where we went to listen to records.
So when you say it's basement music,
yeah, it sends me in a completely different direction.
It depends on what kind of basement you have.
So, yeah, mostly hip-hop, mostly pop,
mostly like sort of stuff that every DJ would play
and get the crowd going, get everyone pumped.
Now, what do you do?
Do you have moves?
Do you physically move when you're DJing?
Are you just all about...
Oh, I'm a terrible dancer.
I don't think I would, anybody would want to see me dance.
How do you look when you're, when you're DJing?
Do you just wear a football jersey or are you?
No, I'm, I'm all about reflective gear.
I love, I love wearing like, I have like these crazy reflective shoes,
crazy reflective hats.
So like anybody trying to take a picture of me, there's no point.
It's just crazy, just reflective, reflective gear like that.
So that's that sort of thing I love.
You've put a lot of thought on this.
You truly, not only do you,
You know Fai categorization.
You're one of the most fascinating people I've talked to just in terms of your, the quick stats.
I don't even have to go through them again.
But then you say I wear all reflective clothing so that no one can take a picture of me.
No one can see me.
No one can see what I'm doing.
I'm in and out.
You hear the music and that's it.
That's all you get.
That's all you get from me.
And then you have to, but then you have to walk home wearing reflective gear.
That's the problem.
That's the hard part.
That's the difficult part.
Yeah.
That's just good safety.
Yeah, exactly.
That's true.
Everybody will see me from a mile away.
Yeah.
When a bus is coming towards you, the bus driver thinks another bus is about to crash into them.
Exactly.
And it steers into a brick wall and everybody's killed.
And it's your fault.
I hope one day, this is a strange thing to say, but I hope one day you do surgery on it.
That would be, that would be an honor.
That would actually be pretty incredible.
Yeah.
And we've already established you don't care what kind of surgery it is.
Whatever you need.
Whatever you need, I'll be available.
I work, abdominal.
You just want to get in there.
I just want to get my hands dirty.
When I wake up after, when I'm just, when they're putting me out and the surgeon steps in,
just as they're putting me out, and a man with a dark beard, a lilting Dublin accent,
wearing reflective gear, steps up and holds up the scalpel a lot.
That will be the last thing you see.
That'll be the last thing I see before I wake up after a successful surgery.
Successful surgery.
100% successful surgery.
Oh, wow.
Now, do you have a question for me, DJ Moe?
because I'd love to help you in some way.
I feel like I'd like to help you on your journey.
I was curious.
Like, obviously music and DJ is a passion of mine,
but if you were to be a DJ,
if you were to be a, like,
if you were to open for me,
say, uh, my next gig,
what would be your handle and what would be your,
like your go-to sort of song that you would play
to like get the crowd, like, pumped?
I would do, I would be cone zone.
I would wear an orange,
I would wear an orange traffic cone on my head.
Oh, you guys.
I have a theme going.
Yeah, I have an orange traffic cone.
So you're reflective.
I'm all about directing traffic in another direction.
You're reflecting people's images back at them.
I'm trying to control traffic flow.
And that is also music flow.
So I've got an orange cone on my head.
I'm cone zone.
And what I play over and over and over again
is the Archie's Sugar Sugar.
Jesus.
Oh.
Honey.
Da-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
Oh, sugar, sugar.
you are my candy girl and you've got me and they go
and there's a part where it breaks into that.
Oh, I was just going to ask if there was a remix.
Oh, there's a remix.
You're beatboxing.
Yeah, I'm beatboxing.
Is that what you're doing?
What do you mean is that what I'm doing?
What do you think I was having an epileptic fit?
No, I'm showboxing.
I thought you programmed those beats into the song.
No, I started beatboxing for real, Mohan.
So I'm like, honey, hop, ba, ba, oh, sure.
Sugar, you are my cat.
Oh, yes.
I'm sure the people are.
Sugar, sugar, sugar.
Candy, sugar in Dublin, gonna go to medicine, Bulgaria.
Then I'm rapping.
And it's that kind of slow, aging white man rap.
I am Conan, I'm here to say, you know, that kind of stuff
that no one's done since the late 70s.
Beautiful, wow.
Yes, beautiful.
And crowds angry because then I go back to Sugar, Sugar.
Yes.
they're really angry
someone throws a pint glass at me
and it knocks the
cone off my head
and people start saying
you're shit, you're shit
but of course it's Dublin
so they're saying you're shite
you're shite
you're shite
you got to get the accent right
right
you got to get the accent right
and I think they're giving me
the peace sign
but they're really telling me to fuck off
yeah
it's a whole different meaning
out in Dublin yeah
yes and I just keep thinking
they love me
and they're giving me the peace
so I double down once again on the Archie Sugar Sugar.
And then you have to come up in your reflective gear.
Yeah.
And the first thing you say is, I don't know this man.
He's not a friend of mine.
He just showed up.
He showed up just tonight.
And I have no idea where he came from.
Yeah, but then after it's over and people have left,
you take pity on me.
And so you and I walk to.
to your house where you live with your parents, right?
Yes.
Would they, would I be welcome at your home?
100%.
Of course you would.
Would your parents even know who I am?
I don't think so.
I'm sure they would be welcoming, but I don't think they know who you.
That might be for the best.
They wouldn't know who DJ Cone zone is.
Well, they'd be hearing about him then
because there'd be a lot of talk on the local news in Dublin
about some shite head in a cone
who played the Archie Sugar Sugar nine times
and started a riot.
brutally beaten, brutally beaten.
Brutally beaten.
Wow.
Okay, well, as long as I'd be welcoming your home, that's...
Oh, of course.
Mohamed, let me ask you quickly.
Do you think your parents have assimilated well to Dublin?
Do they like it there?
Do they consider themselves almost like part Irish now?
I think so.
My dad has been working here for the good part of 20 plus years now.
He's also a doctor here.
So they've grown accustomed quite well.
they've made friends. They've done all the regular that you do, move into a new country and all that. So it's, they enjoy it. They like it here. It's, it's peaceful. It's quiet. And it's, it's a nice place to live. Well, I got to get back there. I love Dublin. I've been there. Honestly, we miss you. We miss you. You need to come back. I will come back for a visit. And, uh, and then we got to hang, Mohammed. I mean, at this point, it's just ridiculous. You got to open, you got to, you got to come to one of my gigs, for sure. I'll come to one of your gigs. Uh, and I will double down on every promise I just made.
about the cone on my head.
I am very excited.
I'm very excited about that.
Mohammed, this is going to ruin your career.
It's going to ruin your fledgling DJ career.
I'll take that.
I'll take that any day.
Well, please give all my mad love to the people of Dublin.
I really love that city.
Of course, of course.
It's gorgeous and the people are absolutely beautiful.
They've always been really nice to me.
And I just wanted to say, especially this podcast,
last year, like, I've been listening to you guys nonstop during the pandemic on my way to
university. I enjoy your podcast so, so, so much. And this was, this was such an amazing
experience for me. Well, guess what? We're, you know what? We are, we are blessed with,
the coolest fans. And, um, and you are a terrific example of, I've never wanted quantity of fans.
I've wanted quality of fans. And, uh, so I'm, I'm a very lucky person myself.
So DJ Mo, peace out.
Yes.
And I'll see you on the flip-flop, which is what young people are saying now, I'm told.
Isn't that what they're saying?
Okay, I just know that.
Let's go with it.
Let's go with it.
Oh, you're nice.
Oh, Mohammed's nice.
He took pity on me.
I'll see you on the flip-flop, DJ Mo.
See you later.
I'll see you later.
Hello, Leah.
Welcome.
Hello.
Hi, Leah.
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
I'm doing very well.
It's nice to talk to you, Leah.
I don't know anything about you.
So why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself.
And then I'll talk mostly about myself.
And you'll get bored and you'll hang up.
Good.
That's what happens to my...
Where are you right now, Leah?
I live in a house with a few roommates in Allendale, Michigan.
Oh, Michigan.
Okay.
Yes, the Grand Rapids area.
Because I go to school here at Grand Valley State University.
So, oh, good for you. And what do you study?
I am a writing major. I'm finishing my writing degree and have like an advertising minor and digital studies focus.
So, yeah. I think that's very, I think that's, that's terrific. I was really interested in creative writing when I was your age and really interested in like toyed a little bit with with the idea of what I do that.
And then got caught up in this foolishness. But what kind of people do you like to read? Who are your heroes in, in, in, in, you know,
writing? Well, I'm really into
David Sedaris right now, actually.
Oh, my God. Yeah. He's the best.
Yeah. Yeah. So funny.
Yeah. He was on our podcast, I think,
maybe the first season.
Anyone listening to this? And he was
really fantastic, just delightful to talk to.
You have good taste. Yeah.
Very good taste. Yeah, so I like a lot of
humorists too and kind of
comedy stuff. So, yeah,
and poetry as well. But, yeah,
big writing. Well, I'm also a poet.
Yeah? Are you?
Oh, really? Yeah, I've written a lot.
A lot of very, yeah, we never knew that.
Very, uh, provocative poetry.
Oh, I'd love to hear some.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you have anything with you?
Yeah, there once was a man from Nantucket.
Okay, stop right there.
Okay.
Yep.
They all start that way, but they're never dirty.
They're the only Nantucket, uh, it's the only Nantucket dogerel that never gets blue.
So tell me, uh, so you're interested, you know, kind of interested in comedy, um, and
And so maybe you've, you've been listening to our podcast.
That's how we, we dragged you in.
Is that right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I've been listening to the podcast and then I've been watching your show since, like, high school.
Well, no, before that, probably middle school.
That's way too young.
That's way too young to be watching the show.
Yeah, probably.
That's like, you know, they say that you shouldn't lift weights until your bones have fully developed.
That's how I feel about people watching.
watching our show.
Yes.
Your body needs to have fully developed.
Your growth needs to have stopped.
And you're,
you probably have to be,
yeah, quite a bit older
than fourth, fifth, sixth grade.
But, okay, so you were watching.
What got you into,
and I'm not looking for compliments.
Was it just, oh, I can relate to this guy.
He looks afraid.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
I was really into Ellen,
Ellen, New Generous first.
So she's kind of like the gateway drug a little bit
into the natural.
I think it was the YouTube algorithm
just suggested a Conan video once after watching.
That is hilarious.
I don't know how a YouTube...
Listen, I have, I think Ellen's terrific.
It's just that we're so...
I think we're so different, but maybe we're not.
I love that a YouTube algorithm said,
well, if you like Ellen,
then this is what you're really gonna like.
I'm not sure that's true.
I'm not sure that's true at all.
Yeah.
I mean, it's almost like the same algorithm would say,
if you enjoy watching High Lie, you'll also like Conan O'Brien.
So I don't quite understand the crossover,
but I'm glad that I got you as a fan, so I win.
I'm happy.
Yeah, well, I saw a video and you were very, very tall too,
and I'm very tall, so that's really all it took for me, I guess.
Oh, so really nothing about the comedy content at all.
Just sheer height.
Yeah, just the height.
You like me despite my comedy, but you think, yeah, how tall are you?
I'm 6'3.
Oh, my goodness.
That's true.
I love tall women.
I think it's fantastic. Good for you. God bless. Thank you so much. That's great. Do you enjoy being
tall? Because I've talked to some women who say, I don't like it. And then I think, why not?
I think it would be fantastic. And I've talked to some who say, oh, I love it. So I don't know which
camp you're in. Well, I actually, I do like it. I think it gets me a lot of attention, which I appreciate.
And I think that it always has made me stand out, which probably was a little difficult at first,
like in middle school and such.
But now people laugh at me, but I like that now.
So that's all worked out in the end.
Well, I'm not sure that you should like that they're laughing.
I don't think they are laughing at you.
I think they're laughing with you.
You seem like you're very funny.
And also they might fear you all legitimately because you tower over them.
That's true.
I've had multiple occasions of women being afraid of me.
Like they think I'm a man a lot of times in the dark
Because I'm so tall
It's actually really sad and scary
But anyways
People think
Now in those moments
Do you like it?
Do you like that they think for a second
That you're a 6 foot 3 inch man?
You should put on like a fake beard
And walk around and just
God no
What?
Trench coat.
God no I would
I never want to be mistaken for a man
It's the last thing I would want to be
Absolutely not
I am often mistaken
Staken for a woman.
Yeah.
And I'm comfortable with that.
I like it, and sometimes there's a few dates before anything is revealed.
But, okay, so you're watching the show really back in the day, and you were a fan that's, uh,
and you've kicked the habit now.
You've graduated to the podcast, which is a little, it's a little more civilized.
So I appreciate that.
Did you, someone said you dressed up as me once, did you?
Yes. Well, in high school, we had a, in one of my speech classes, we had a balloon debate.
So the goal was to embody a certain public figure of your choosing and then debate these other public figures and try to convince them the class that you've contributed the most to society.
So in retrospect, I chose to be Conan O'Brien because I was.
a big Conan fan and still am.
Oh, that's very nice of you.
So, and the idea is that you're all in a hot air balloon and you have to justify who gets tossed out and who stays?
Yes, that's the idea.
And who are the other, who are the other people in the hot air balloon with you?
Oh, I think there's like a Rosa Parks.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
I think I lost a Tony Morrison, I think.
Tony Morrison, really.
Of course you did.
Of course you did.
Rosa Parks, Tony Morrison.
That's terrible.
Oh, boy.
No, after everything Rosa Parks went through to be then told that you have to chop out of a balloon?
That's terrible.
No.
Yeah.
I think, I think, I'm so ashamed that I was in with that group, and I hope that you just dove out of the balloon immediately.
Yeah, I didn't, I didn't last super long, and I probably did regret it.
I hope you didn't.
I didn't last super long.
Yes, I was in there with Socrates, Rosa Parks, Tony Morrison, Christ.
Yeah.
And then Conan O'Brien's in the balloon.
Who's the first that should go?
Well, let's debate this.
That's not a debate?
No.
But you know what?
You did think outside the box, and that's cool.
Everybody else seems kind of obvious.
Yeah, I guess so.
I'm trying to help us.
No, that's true.
It's true.
They all chose people that are just revered.
Right.
I'm going to just say it.
And you chose someone who,
revered maybe by some
but
yeah I don't belong
in that company at all
I'm so glad
I didn't have to be there to witness it
because that's the kind of thing
if that had been televised
or if I'd seen it and they said
here's Tony Morrison
here's Jesus Christ
you know here's Buddha
and then Conan O'Brien
I would have thrown up all over myself
yeah and I do think in all honesty
it was probably like the costume
was a little half-assed
I might have done a little bit better.
I really just wore one of my dad's suits,
and that was pretty much it,
and was like, I'm Conan O'Brien, so.
Wait, you didn't, you didn't put an,
I look at your impression of me is that I just,
you can't see this, but I'm going to describe it.
You put your hands in the air and bobbed side to side,
like a cartoon chipmunk.
You didn't put a wig on or anything.
Well, I didn't have the budget for a Conan wig.
I don't know, those things probably go for a lot of money.
I don't know.
Those things.
Hey look, my Conan wig is very reasonable.
It's the one I wear on the show, and it's available.
You can get it on Etsy, and it's $35.
You just have to keep it in the freezer because it starts to rock.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's...
Well, what's your question for me, Leah?
Do you have a question?
I do have a question, and I'm really curious to hear your insight.
I'm wondering if you were stranded on a zoo, in a zoo, stranded within a zoo, and there's no people around and there's no food available, which of the animals would you eat first to survive and which would you keep around for companionship?
That's a really good question.
Thanks.
Let me think about that.
Okay, well, I mean, I'm not going to go near the fish.
I'm not going to go anywhere near the fish because I'm not going to go anywhere near the fish because I'm,
I don't, the tanks look dirty to me.
And then there are other animals that I would quickly lose to, you know, polar bear, you can't go, you know what I mean?
You can't, I've heard a peacock is a delicious, has delicious meat.
Would a peacock be in this?
Is that more of a petting zoo?
No, that's not the zoo.
They're just Roman free range.
They're there, I think.
And they're pretty easy to catch, too.
Yeah, probably.
You know, you just, I think I could catch one of those pretty well.
I don't know.
But you want, if you're going to go to all that work, you want to make sure there's enough there to eat, I'd eat a Z.
I eat a zebra.
Because I've heard it's not bad, you know.
I have friends of mine that are really into capturing and eating exotic animals.
And it's a club I used to belong to.
And then it was broken up because it was illegal.
Was this club?
It was you, Rosa Parks, and Tony Morris?
Yes.
Yeah, which is why I don't think they should be as revered as everyone, you know, yes, they did amazing things.
and wonderful people that helped make the world a better place.
But they also ate endangered species with me at this very rarefied club.
I don't know that.
No, I don't know.
Fy club.
What's that?
You know what?
I was going to guess you were going to say chimps just because you did a comedy bit with them once a while back.
Or they'd be comedic rivals.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
Yeah, that chimps are the most, yeah, chimps, that's interesting.
Chimps, no, I can't eat a chimp.
They're too close to.
us. They're too close to us genetically. You know that there's very little that differentiates us
from a chimpanzee's DNA. I mean, it's shocking. We're very close to them in terms of our DNA.
And so, yeah, I would feel, I would feel that was wrong somehow. You need to be, you need to
eat something that's far away from your own species, you know? Well, can I ask you a quick? Matt just
use the phrase comedic rival when referring to a chimp.
So I'm, is there, is there some sort of story there?
Have you always, is there a jealousy involved or what's happening?
I'm confused.
The chimp, as you know, the chimp I've often performed with chimps.
I have, over the years I've performed with chimps.
And when a chimp is on stage with you, they get all the attention.
You know, the eye goes to the chimp because they're dressed like kids or they're
wearing a little suit and everyone's looking at the chimp and anything the chimp does is
quote adorable but backstage chimps are assholes they're uh they're physically abusive
and they're walking around and they're impulsive and they're very strong and they're hitting
you in the crotch and they think it's funny and so i have uh yeah i don't like being around chimps
so i wouldn't want to i wouldn't want to eat a chimp and i don't want to perform with a chimp i don't
Like chimps.
Chips and I do not get along.
Right.
Okay.
You know, so I don't want anything to do with a chimp.
I don't know if I've picked the right animal, though.
I got to keep thinking.
I'm surprised you dismissed fish.
Yeah, me too.
I would have got straight for the fish.
No, no.
I don't like those tanks.
Those tanks are really dirty.
Those fish have been there a long time.
Sometimes those fish are like 40 years old.
I don't like old fish.
I like relatively young fish.
Sometimes you look in there and those fish are literally 65 years old.
These are fish that, you know,
voted for Lyndon Johnson.
And I don't want anything to do with that.
But you're stranded.
You have no choice.
Like you...
Yeah, but I have a whole, you know...
You have a whole zoo.
Yeah, there's a whole zoo.
And so, you know, I do like venison.
If there was a deer there,
um...
What?
Is that sad?
I mean, deer, they're just...
Yeah, how are you planning to do this too?
Like, what's the method?
Are you going to do it?
Well, first of all, I throw...
No, I'm going to get the chimp to do it.
Oh.
I'm going to get the chimp, yeah.
I'm going to throw the chimp into a cage with an elf.
and the chimp is naturally going to get into a fight with the elk,
because as we all know, chimps are assholes.
And the chimp is going to kill the elk.
And then so the dirty work is,
I don't even have the guilt that you would normally be associated with eating an animal.
How are you going to get the meat from the chimp, though?
Well, the chimp is a very vanglorious mammal.
So what I would do is I would say to the chimp,
they're shooting a commercial down the road.
Jesus.
And the chimp would probably take off.
and trying and get his fucking chimp face
into a commercial somewhere that doesn't exist.
He could do the same to you though.
That's true.
Yeah, well, it depends.
The chip would probably,
I would forget that I made up this story
and I would take off, I'd be like, wait a minute, commercial,
and then I would take off, and the chimp
and I would be racing down the road towards a commercial
that doesn't exist.
And the venison, the elk would be rotting in the hot sun.
That's, wow, that's a sad story.
Well, if we took anything away from this, Leah,
it's that you had, really, you had some nerve
trying to win a balloon debate
as Conan O'Brien with Rosa Parks and Tony Morrison.
And that chimps are assholes.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
And if you chimp people out there want to argue with me,
I'll take you one, one by one.
but Leah, I'm very proud that you're a fan.
You seem very cool and creative.
And what do you think you're going to want to do with yourself
when you get out of college?
I mean, we'll see the, I would really love to do something
with comedy at some point.
I'm really involved in improv now, and I really want,
I would love to do comedy writing or explore that.
And, I mean, I've got a marketing path going to in media.
So I'm just applying for lots of, like,
just television-related apprenticeship programs
and internships and stuff right now.
And yeah, we'll see what happens.
But yeah.
Well, I have confidence in you.
I think you're going to do well at whatever you try.
I really do.
Thank you.
You're a very cool person.
And I'm sure we're going to bump into each other one of these days because I will notice you.
Very tall.
And I'll see.
Yeah, very tall.
But you're a tall, striking person.
And you're very, you're very cool.
Thank you.
So I have a lot of confidence in you.
And give me a job someday.
You're running show business.
I'll think about it.
Because, you know, my spiral is headed down, but you're headed up.
So just keep me in mind, okay?
Thank you so much.
