Starting point is 00:00:00 Summer S'mores with Conan and the Chill Chums, a six-part series with Conan O'Brien, Sonam of Sessian, and Matt Gorley. Let's get started. All right. As promised, here we are, Al Fresco in Pasadena on a lovely Summer's Eve. It's Chill Chums episode two. It's Conan O'Brien. Summer S'mores.
Starting point is 00:00:25 You can't do it. Look, gee, this is a mess already. You give me a hard time. This isn't working. Summer S'mores with Conan and the Chill Chums. You nailed it. Yeah. Easy.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Let me set the scene for people, because if nothing else, I'm a setter of scenes, a scene setter, if you will. I paint a picture, a mind picture. We are here at Gorley's lovely home. And I'm going to say there's a little bit of a Mr. Miyagi in the original Karate Kid vibe here. Well, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. No, like it's a nice...
Starting point is 00:00:55 Because we're in Pasadena and let me just begin by saying I got in my car to come here and I plugged in your address and Waze said it was going to be an hour and 28 minutes to get here. And then Waze started saying, are you sure you want to go there? And I was saying to Waze, well, he's my friend and we're doing a podcast. And then Waze was like, wait a minute, isn't your name on the podcast, why aren't they doing it at your house? I don't know how Waze has all this information.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Yeah, I'm not sure. I understand that. Did it take you first to Santa Monica Airport and try to fly you here? It took me to Catalina. Yeah. It took me 15 minutes. Yes. Well, that's the thing is...
Starting point is 00:01:40 It was nice for me. First of all, I applaud both of you because you've made a very bold choice to raise your children in another country. I don't know where we are, but I'm not sure we're in the United States anymore. It took me a long, long time to get here. Come on. No, look, I know people accuse someone like me of being in some sort of entitled bubble. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:04 And I have looked into, to be fair, having a bubble built around me. A literal bubble. There's, I guess, there's a zoning issue, but I wanted an actual bubble until people... You went to the permitting office. I went to the permitting office and they said, sir, what you're talking about is a big bubble that surrounds you and I said, yes, I don't care what it costs. I have the money. I just want to live inside a bubble and I have this company that's going to build it
Starting point is 00:02:28 for me called Entitled Co. And then someone said, it's going to look bad. I didn't understand why. But anyway, it was... But once you get here, and I do say once you get here and you've changed your currency and had all the requisite shots, it is lovely. This is beautiful. It's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:02:44 You know what? It took me no time at all to get here. I came earlier with my boys to play with your daughter. Then I went home and then I came back. It was so nice. Probably all in the time that it took you to get here, but it was really nice and convenient and easy. I had several children on the way over here.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Two of them, you know. It's like transatlantic travel in the 1780s. One of them didn't make it. He got the seagull sickness. But no, it's really nice because, again, I will paint the picture. We're in a lovely backyard, and, Gurley, I know this about you. You have excellent taste. You have very good...
Starting point is 00:03:21 He's got very good taste. He does. And he's very handy, and he's built this wonderful oasis, and we're sitting in the backyard. We've got this lovely solo stove in front of us. That's burning juniper wood. Can you smell that? It smells really good. And I will say, I know there are people that are like, why is Conan just mentioning solo
Starting point is 00:03:41 stove? Solo stove, maybe we're doing business with them. Maybe we aren't. That's an important thing. We are. That's a great... Yeah, there's solo stoves everywhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I feel like they sent you like four? Yeah. They sent five, and they sent a small forest worth of wood. Yeah. The solo stove, though, is burning very efficiently and wonderfully in front of us. And I only mention it not because they are a sponsor, but I do love a fire. I love a fire. And I know that if I was in some sort of industrial accident, if my arm caught fire, if people
Starting point is 00:04:18 tried to put it out, I'd say, let's just watch it for a bit. That's how much I love a fire. I thoroughly enjoy sitting around a campfire, and I can't wait to use this. They gave me one. Yeah. I'll just say it. And the only problem is, if I get this bubble built around my house, the smoke's going to collect.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yeah, no smoke. Yeah, no ventilation. Luckily, there's not much smoke. Well, that's, Sona, it's funny you bring that up, but it's true, there's not much smoke when you get a, it's ingenious, but listen, maybe solo stove will come up later. Maybe they won't. Who knows? Right.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's one of the great mysteries of this wonderful outdoor adventure we're having. But I love it. It's very nice. We're sitting here. Beautiful weather. It couldn't be better. The sun is setting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I hope it's okay to talk about your personal life. We just watched your lovely child get put to bed. Yeah. Glenn came out for a visit. And like Sona said, she met Charlie and Mikey, who I call her sister husband, because she's going to marry both of them one day. Which is allowed in Armenia, apparently. What?
Starting point is 00:05:18 You can't just make things up about my culture. You can. No one, there's no way to check it. There's no, the internet went down in Armenia, a goat ate through the water. He said, look, look, I actually think that happened. It did happen. Yeah, you sent me the article about some lady who was doing gardening and I think she snipped a wire and like the internet for an entire section of what somewhere just went out.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah. Anyway. Oh man. I hate when I reinforce the things that you say. No, no. I don't know why I did that. That was so dumb. So we're here.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah. And lovely, you've made some kind of a drink. This is a cocktail I'm calling the chilled chum, like shark chum. It's bourbon. Oh, wow. Chum, lemon juice, lemon juice and muddled strawberries. That's the chum. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yeah. And that's us. We're the chilled chums. Look, I mean, is this not living? This is how podcasting should be done. You're out on a fire. No, you're not on fire. No, no.
Starting point is 00:06:20 No. Fortunately, the fire is contained because of the good people at solar stove. I didn't drive here. I'm going to get fucked up. Is that true? You didn't drive here? I didn't drive here. How'd you get here?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Taktra dropped me off. We have one car now. So he, we share a car and he dropped me off. So, you know, I'm going to have to figure out how to get home. Hey, maybe I'll give you a ride home. No, you won't. I would. No, because then you're going to do a whole thing about it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I'm going further. I, how many favors am I going to do for you this week? Well, how many favors have I done for you this week? You've done a lot this week, especially G. Do you want to tell people on this, while we're sitting on this nice campfire and having this lovely cocktail that Gorley made, what the favor was that my wife and I did for you on Sunday? On Sunday.
Starting point is 00:06:59 You and Liza were, I asked you guys to be my kid's godparents and you, but is that a favor? No. No, it's not. It's not like. That's a disservice. I really did, I kept channeling Michael Corleone because they did have a part where they were saying, do you renounce evil?
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah. Yeah. And I kept thinking I'm evil incarnate. Yeah, you are. Yeah. I am, I'm the solidified gel of evil. I, I cannot, it was, it was a beautiful, you know, give you a little fun fact, if you're trying to picture out there, this wonderful christening ceremony for Sonia's twins, Michael
Starting point is 00:07:35 and Charlie. One of the things that you can know is that the church was featured at the end of a very important film. What? Do you know which film it was? Well, what church? Where are we talking? Montabello.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And it's an Armenian church. It's quite lovely. Give me a hint. I think I'm just going to, you know what? I don't like this kind of thing where I quiz you and then you try and figure it out. I'm just still thinking of those Jeff Goldblum sessions where he'd just quiz us on things like Bridge on the River Kwai. It's not a real old movie.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I want to say it's about 15 years old. Yeah. Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. Yes. We had to. Very good. It was Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. No.
Starting point is 00:08:12 It was Sideways. The movie Sideways. At the end, when Thomas Hayden Church gets married, he gets married at the very end of the movie after all their misadventures when his nose is all banged up and his eyes are black and blue. They show him getting married at this beautiful Armenian church. That's the church. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:29 And the week before. Well, I'm going to go ahead. No. You can say it. No, no. Because I think the way you found out was actually. It was really fun because we get there and the church is pretty empty and lies as people are just filtering in.
Starting point is 00:08:43 And I'm there. I'm wearing a suit. My wife, as always, very beautifully turned out. Beautiful. And this priest comes out and he gestures to me to come backstage because as the godfather, they want me to wear a ceremonial robe. And so it's just it's a real thing. So they bring me back.
Starting point is 00:09:03 The guy seems kind of pissed that I'm so tall. Yeah. So he's like, ugh. And he's going through this closet of robes. It was so mad. And he was like suddenly he was a disgruntled wizard, like looking through robes. And then finally he pulled out a robe and then he said, ugh. Oh, the wizard.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And he said, you, he's saying your name, your name, your name is. And I said Conan. He went, yes, yes. Conan, Conan was here last week too. What? And he says it in broken English. And I said, what? Conan Gray, the pop star was here.
Starting point is 00:09:32 And he said, no. He said Conan here last week and other Conan. And I'm like, there's no other Conan. Yeah. Trust me. I wish there was. But there's no other. We all wish there was a different Conan.
Starting point is 00:09:43 But he said, no, no, Conan, Conan, Conan. And then he said, Matrix. And I said, Keanu. Keanu? And he went, yeah. Keanu. And I'm like, those are totally different names. But I realized I had to get on his good side if he's going to give me the robe.
Starting point is 00:09:58 So I said, oh yeah, that's a mistake people make all the time. They say, hey, Keanu Reeves, oops, I'm sorry I meant Conan O'Brien. Because you guys look so attractive. And we're both, yeah, incredibly handsome, rugged action stars. And he said yes, and then he found on his phone that it was in like the Monobello Chronicle. And it's a picture of Keanu Reeves standing like five feet from where I'm standing with the same priest. Was he doing a christening or was he shooting a movie?
Starting point is 00:10:27 I don't know. I don't know. What he was doing. I don't know. We have no idea. Why wasn't he on the podcast? I know. Let's get him on there.
Starting point is 00:10:35 What are you talking about? We have to talk to everybody. Keanu will be here eventually. Keanu, can you come on our podcast? Please. I bet he listens. Well, he's clearly, I think, he came by to try and meet me and he got his dates mixed up.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Well, they say in the spy world the best way to trail someone is to be ahead of them. So he was there a week ahead. Yes, yes. Keanu desperately wants to bump into me so he can drop the name of the podcast, my podcast, and sort of say like, I like podcast dude, and then I can be like, I don't know. Okay, Keanu, if you think this is something you want to do. But anyway, so we do, we go ahead and we have the ceremony and it was really beautiful. It was real.
Starting point is 00:11:09 They asked you if you wanted to say the words in English and you had been practicing in Armenian. Well, I don't have, one of them was Huys. Yeah. There was one that was, what's the really hard one? Magurdertun. Magurdertun. That's not hard.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Well, you say it, if you've been drinking. Oh, I have been drinking and I will not. And I had taken a lot of pills in the parking lot that your brother gave me. You have to be carried in to the church. Her brother gave me a bunch of weight loss pills. Jesus. I was gonna see her uncle. I was gonna see her uncle.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Oh, Jesus. All right. Who says I'm 10 pounds overweight. You've gotta let this go. You have to move on. He went up to me. He came up to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Is there an update? No. And he was like, gonna remember me. And I'm like, yes. Of course I remember you. Every night. You told me I could lose 10 pounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And we almost got into it in the parking lot. What did he say? Does he still feel that way? I don't know. He kind of, it was a time for him to say you look good or, you know, I said that, but I gotta say now that I see you in daylight standing up, you look good. He didn't say anything. No.
Starting point is 00:12:08 We gotta get him on the podcast. No, we don't. No. No, no. It could get bad really fast. Really? Well, so his English is not great. I mean, he's been here for a long time.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I don't know why it's so bad, but he, you know, he probably called you Keanu. He said I was great in The Matrix. He said he loved me in Point Break. You were great in the John Wick movies. So, yeah, and then I gotta say my wife killed it. She did a genius thing because. A job to do too? Well, she doesn't have, it's a patriarchal system.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I'm just going to call it out. It is. So it's all like the male, I wear the robe. I'm the one who leads the way. I'm the one that's, you know, holding children at one point, you know, I couldn't hold both of them. No, you couldn't. They're just devils.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Devils. Oh, okay. They're too heavy. Well, no, it's just like holding two. You can't. Imagine two really powerful juicing blenders that were turned on at the same time. Yeah, I did this. They're filled with rocks and you're trying to hold onto them.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Just animals, more animals than animals. We put them down on our living room floor and quickly learned what we had to child-proof. Yeah. Yeah. Which was both of them. Each one has to be, each one of her children needs to be child-proof against the other. So, you know what might, so the day before, we had a bot mitzvah that we went to the day before and so we were just killing it this weekend with lots of things that we went to
Starting point is 00:13:35 and we'd come back from the bot mitzvah and I'm exhausted and I was like, I'm just going to go right down and my wife said, well, I'm going to run to the toy store and pick up some little toys that will help distract the son's kids when they melt down during the christening. Oh, really? And I was like, oh, that's not going to happen. I'm just going to take a nap and I passed out like, you know, I'd been shot with a blow dart.
Starting point is 00:13:59 So, she shows up and she's bought all these little things and she put them in her purse and sure enough, at the very beginning of the ceremony, I think when they saw the crucifix, these two start shrieking and steaming, like, burning, and their eyes were like little red coals. Oh, my God. And they went, ah, we will return, we will return, and they scuttled, they scuttled up the sides of the church and they went, we will return, return, we will, mark me. And so, no, but my wife, Liza, God bless her, she reached such a purse and she takes out
Starting point is 00:14:35 two finger puppets, one is a little silver robot, and one is a little like a dragon, and she starts doing this, and both of them are like, and then they're like, oh, behold. And they take these two finger puppets and they put them in their mouths and they were angels the rest of the time. They got dunked in with holding these finger puppets. Yeah. Yeah, they wouldn't let them go. Those are vintage, by the way, they're made of asbestos.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Oh, good. Oh, I want to have those. They ate it up. I don't know if you want me to say this, but at one point, I think we were in church just to screw with me. You were like, you know none of this means anything, right? Well, it was getting very... You know this is all fake, right?
Starting point is 00:15:18 It was all getting very real and they were saying, do you know what this means? This means that God, and then Jesus, and I just, and Sonia's looking really into it, and I'm right next to her, and I can't help it, and I just went, you know, this is all fake. It doesn't mean anything, you know. You used that voice? Yeah. I did.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And I think the priest heard me, and he was like, Keanu Reeves is an asshole. Why was Keanu Reeves, I just don't know. I just love it. We've got to find out why Keanu Reeves was hanging around this Montebello Armenian church. That's a mystery that needs to be solved, and a mystery I shall solve. Yeah, yeah. Slash went to a wedding there too once. I mean, that's like a celebrity hot.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Is this when you're stalking him? Well, here's the thing, the other thing we need to check out, because I'll tell you one thing, when a celebrity's around there, they make sure they get a picture, and they make sure that it shows up in the Montebello newsletter. Oh, great. So here's what I want to find out. Did my picture make it into the Montebello newsletter? Because if it didn't, and Slashes did, and Keanu's did, then I'm, this is a mortal blow,
Starting point is 00:16:19 and this may be my last podcast. Oh no, no, you, I have no, yes, you were in it. Because I want to keep working. They don't do like a dry cleaners thing, where they frame your headshot and put it up in the church, you know? You know what's... You sign the headshot? Yeah, and it's you and Fred Travelina and Ruth Buzzy, I know.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Who do you address that to, Jesus? Fred Travelina. Fred Travelina. Two Jesus. Hey, Jesus. Thanks for catching my show, Fred Travelina. Hey, Jesus. Lot of laughs.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Ned Beatty. I just love the headshot signed by, you know, hey, Jesus. Hey, Jesus, Michael Winslow. Yeah. What? Sona, you're lost. You know, do people know who Michael Winslow is? He's from the police academy.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Oh yeah. Yeah. How do you spell that? Spell, Michael Winslow? No, the brrrrr. You know what? You've had very little of your drink, and you're already trashed. I am.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I have no tolerance anymore. I used to be cool, but this will do me. Can I say something? You never had a lot of tolerance. You know that, right? Yeah, you're right. We used to, I mean, Sona and I were joined at the hip, and I was constantly having to, you know, between tours and all the things that we did, the minute she hit the bar, she
Starting point is 00:17:46 would have one glass of wine, and you were pretty loopy very quickly. I've heard that you said earlier that you might just make out with someone and... I did. Back in the day? Yeah. Well, here we are. Obviously, pre-tact. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I would meet somebody for five minutes. That's how she met Fred Travolina, and he said, you realize, and then he was making out with her as he was writing out a headshot for her. To Jesus. And he was like, I didn't even know who you were. This is gravy. This is gravy that I get a headshot afterwards. Is that a real person?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah. Okay. You guys... Do you remember how, whenever, Sona, part of your job used to be to... People wanted headshots. So I always had headshots. Yeah. And I remember every now and then the new shipment of headshots would come in.
Starting point is 00:18:30 First of all, we'd try to make, if we had a decent headshot, as my face and head started rotting as when an Irish man gets older, it rots like old fruit in the sun. And so we would stick with a picture from like... No one's disagreeing with you. I know. I know. I kept waiting for someone to jump in. No.
Starting point is 00:18:48 If anything, you did it of kindness. Yeah. So... We're all nodding a lot. Keep going. Keep going. You're almost there. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Right. Rotting. Complete rotting. A compost pot. Sometimes it was funny because we had a... I'd be signing a headshot that was me like... I was signing a headshot in 2004 that was me from 1995. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And... I don't know what it was. But anyway, I remember once you gave me a whole bunch of headshots like, oh, here's the new batch. And for some reason I had a bunch and I just threw them in the back of my car, not thinking about it. And then I was somewhere and I popped my trunk and there were people around and they just saw that I had my headshot.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Oh, no. Like I was driving around trying to give them to people. Oh, no. I know. And I was like, no, no. A new shipment came in and oh, and then I just went with it. I was like, who wants a headshot? Step right up.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Boot sale. Oh. Hey. Urban. I forgot what I was going to say. I didn't forget what I was going to say. Yeah. We're all having bourbon.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yeah. I love sipping bourbon and sitting around the comforting glow of my solo stove. I'm telling you, isn't this the greatest? I've also had two of these because I had to test it. You didn't have to test it. You just slurred your words. No, I didn't. No.
Starting point is 00:20:02 It's like the way I say San Elad. San Elad. San Elad. I'm really glad. I was going to take a low dose of Jettabull before I came here and I'm really glad I did it. Remember, we went to dinner once with a reporter and I fell asleep at the dinner table. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:20:14 Okay. Free. What reporter? Why did you fall asleep? Was that in the story? Was it Variety or Hollywood? No, it was Variety. No, it was Variety.
Starting point is 00:20:22 If it's not the Monabello paper, I'm not sure. No. It was like a cover story. It was a cover story and Variety back when such a thing was possible. And was this the one they did for the podcast? No. This is before that. This is before that.
Starting point is 00:20:35 This doesn't interest me. No, but, and Sona took an edible and this woman's talk, and Sona's part of the story. And then at one point, Sona's head goes down onto the shoulder of the reporter. What? Did she write about that? And she was lovely. She was really lovely. She was so nice.
Starting point is 00:20:55 She was very cool. But you just passed out on her. I just fell asleep. Like snored drooling like the whole night. Sona, you're my hero. I know. Oh, and you know, there's another time this happened. That was Sona, but with Tracy King, shout out for Tracy King.
Starting point is 00:21:11 We were traveling our show somewhere and it was always chaotic and then we would go and have dinner. We had just come back from the theater and we were having dinner in some city. I don't know. I've, I've been everywhere, but any who, you've barely been to Pasadena. Trust me now. We played it out, driving like 30 miles. So it's longer than that.
Starting point is 00:21:35 It's the quality of the journey. So Tracy King, our producer extraordinaire, joins us at the table and she just, we didn't know this, but she had thought that she was maybe getting a migraine. So she took a pill for her migraine and, but she accidentally took a sleeping pill. Oh, I've done that. And so she was at the table and she started to say things that didn't go kind of slurry and then her face started to look strange and I swear to God, I thought she was having a stroke.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Oh my God. And, and all of us started to get worried like, chills, you remember this, Jason Chalemi's here and his name is chills. That's, and he's also always around when there's a chill chum. That's, I mean, this is perfect. Do you remember this chills? I do. It was in San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Hold on. Stand next to that recording device called the microphone. San Francisco. Yep. And she took an Ambien by accident. She took an Ambien by accident and then I think was having some wine or something. It got bad fast. It got bad fast and we got scared because I thought, wait a minute, what's, what are
Starting point is 00:22:36 the signs of a stroke? Right. But then we quickly, I think, figured it out. She, yeah, she finally went through her pills in her bag and it was like a huge relief afterwards. Right. Yeah. And she had a pill that gives you a stroke in her purse, which fortunately she didn't
Starting point is 00:22:52 take. I don't know why she had that pill. She had, she said, I have a prescription for pills that give you a stroke and I'd just like to keep them in my purse. Ask your doctor about stroke, Sam. Stroke Sam will give you a stroke, warning, may cause strokes, warning, 100% chances will give you a stroke. Warning, may not cause a stroke.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yes, exactly. I hope this vibe is coming through to the listener because I have to say it's lovely to be outside. It's gotta be. And now it's that golden time where the sun has gone. The sun in this part of the country, I suppose, has slipped behind the hills. Yeah. Same part.
Starting point is 00:23:31 About to enter 30 days of night. Yeah. Exactly. And it's really, you know, the crackling of the stove. Can they hear that? Oh, sure. Oh, cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:43 It's nice and there's. I just, can we, can we move? Yeah, you can move. Because I didn't know if we had to be like we are in the studio. No, chill, man, we're chill. We're, this is Pasadena at 7, 8 p.m. We're drinking drinks with fire and fires. We're talking talks.
Starting point is 00:24:00 We're drinking, we're drinking herbs. That is some heavy duty mashed fruit in that drink. Yeah, that's, that's just the chum part. Right. I don't have to do with it. No, but I mean, it felt like I just ate a mouse's heart. That's what it. You might have here because we got lots of mice.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Well, I think that, I think that does it for this chill chums and I hope we encourage you when you listen to the next chill chums, why not listen to it around a nice fire? Yeah, good idea. Doesn't have to be a solo stove if you want to get an inferior one because they are the best. Yeah. But listen to that. You hear that bird?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Yeah. We have a wild pack of parrots around here, too. Green parrots. Yeah. There's a lot of animals. Do you think that was, was it a domestic pet that escaped? Yeah. And they live a long time, don't they?
Starting point is 00:24:43 I believe so. Right. Yeah. And then are they, when they, when they make that noise, are they laughing at humans that they escaped? Well, let me see if I can summon one down because I lately can talk to animals. Nope. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I couldn't pull it off. That's pretty cool. Did you say something? No. What was that noise? Airplane. Oh, was that an airplane? Oh, I accidentally summoned an airplane down.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Run! No, seriously. What is it? Are we in a flight path? Is that an airplane? That's a loud one. No, no. That's a motorcycle, I think.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Yeah, I think it's a motorcycle. Who said airplane? I'm looking at my audio specialists who work in the audio world and they're all like, it's an airplane. And then Blay makes a gesture of a motorcycle. Yeah. And they're all like, yeah, you have a motorcycle. Those are quite different machines.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Those are planes, charades. That's either an airplane or a two-wheel machine. Do you know how many people looked up, too? There are eight people here and everyone mimed a different mode of transportation. The parrots are laughing at us. Ha, ha. Don't know the sound of an airplane. This is heaven.
Starting point is 00:25:46 We escaped your bondage. What a dick that parrot is. I always, I have to say, I'm going to say this last thing, and my brother Neil agrees with me, a bird calling always makes me laugh because I always picture, whenever a bird's like, pa, pa. And it will sometimes take me out of a movie and you know, like the iconic ending of The Godfather when they're talking, what's his name? The brother-in-law who killed Sonny.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Carlo. Carlo. And they pretty much- Josh. Josh. Yeah. Josh, we never should have let you in the family, Josh. There's no one, there's no one named Josh in The Godfather.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I love that Connie married someone named Josh. Can we trust him? I don't know. Look, give him a job, but not in the family. I love that- Josh, not even Josh. I love that Josh's trying to become a maid guy and they bring Josh into a room and they're like, this is a great secret, oh.
Starting point is 00:26:44 You will now become made into this thing of ours. Yeah, man, that's pretty cool. Fucking A, right? Well, first of all, we need to record your first name. Oh, you got it. Josh, that's J-A-U-S-H. Oh. Josh.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Hey, man, probably gonna hit the curb later with some skating and rocks and tunes. I don't think this is gonna happen, Josh. Where do I get a gun? Anywho. Yeah. I always think, so in that scene, they're telling Carlo, you know, Carlo, we know that stunt that you pulled. I think it was gonna fill-
Starting point is 00:27:16 And in the background, you hear, cool, cool. And I always laugh. I've never known that. I always laugh. Listen to that scene. A bird goes, caw, caw. And when there's a bird on a branch, cawing, I always- They immediately take-
Starting point is 00:27:30 And the same thing happens with a horse. If I'm watching a movie and something really dramatic is happening and there's a horse in the scene, I look at the horse and I know the horse doesn't give a shit. And I completely lose it. I just start laughing. So in the Godfather scene, it's the scene where they're basically busted Carlo first. Yes, but he doesn't know he's gonna die yet. No.
Starting point is 00:27:51 They're just kind of telling him we know- Spoiler alert. Oh, trust me. It's time, if you thought that Josh is in the Godfather, then you don't deserve to watch the Godfather. But anyway, watch that scene because they're saying like, you think that would fool a Corleone? And then you hear, caw, caw. And it sounds like the bird is saying, caw, caw.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah. Yeah, it kind of does. The bird's sort of like, fuck you. Ha, ha, Carlo. You're gonna die. You think you're getting away, but you're not gonna. Anyway, this is at Chill Chums. We're drinking.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Yeah. We're having a wonderful time. Let's take a look at where we are with our drinks just as we can keep it. I'm almost done. I'm almost done, too. I'd say Sona's mostly done. I'm mom. I'm going super slow.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I'm going super slow. Your baby bear done. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Because I gotta steer this boat. But Sona, go crazy. Yeah. She's walking home tonight.
Starting point is 00:28:36 All right. I'm gonna take us out of here. Okay. Every time I try, one of you starts mumbling and mumbling. Sorry, okay. Let's go over the hand signals one more time. Closed hand means don't talk. Don't talk.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Open hand, don't talk. Don't talk. Straight hand, don't talk. And I make a pyramid, don't talk. Five fingers, don't talk. Two fingers, don't talk. Thumbs down, don't talk. And thumbs up, don't talk.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Got it, got it. I think we're in good shape. Come on, come on. Come on, come on. All right, we're good.
