Wonderful. We had a wonderful time. I think Sonia was a little over-served, if I recall. Okay. Because you make a powerful cocktail and then Sonia showed absolutely no restraint. That's very true. And you know what? I think it's going to be the same thing this time.

What was the cocktail last year? It was spectacular. It was called the chilled chum. Okay. And it was made of chilled, the bits of fish that are used to attract sharks. I believe you said it looked like little mouse hearts. Yeah.

Pulled up as a mouse heart. No, it was actually amazing. It was great. It was fantastic. I'm being perfectly honest with you. Last year's drink was amazing and has a lot to, this year's drink is gonna have a hard time. This looks quite different. What is this?

This is called the ginger menace. Okay. And these are little Conan heads. Oh look at that. It's got the either that's a pompadour or a tumor. Well, it can be both. Okay. Beautiful looking, great presentation Matt. Thank you. Yeah, that's really nice. This is a bootleg Cuban rum. Got it. Apparel and ginger beer with a little bit of fresh ginger

and lemon and there's also just because I know you like dazzly drinks, there's some edible glitter in here. Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah, that's, I mean, I'm like Hemingway, only I demand glitter in my drink. But in every other way, thank you for making this. That's my pleasure, cheers. This is, look at that, I think the little cone

in you made out of, looks like a sectioned grapefruit, and then here to test it. Is there some shit on the ice cube? Yeah, that's a little cowboy. That's a little cowboy. On the ice cube. My grandpa had this little logo for his company

of a little cowboy, and you can get like little back stamps made, and you just run it under water and press it into the ice. Oh, that's fantastic. Isn't that stupid? It's not stupid at all. Oh. I love it. I love this promotion for Yellowstone in my drink.

What is, okay, here we go. Here's my spursip. Oh, that's nice. You know what, Matt, you know I'm not a fan, so this, I mean, this was all honest and sincerity. You make an amazing cocktail. Oh, thank you. This is really good.

I mean, it is not only aesthetically pleasing, but good Lord. I need like drum. I love rum. Yeah, and this is communist rum. So you know it's good. I love communist rum. Yeah, what? It's the people's rum.

Yeah. It's the rum we've brought down the pigs. And... You can drink it. Oh, you want, as your problem. So look what I did. I took out mine and I... I know, but you put it in, you put it in your drink and I'm still, I'm gonna drink this drink.

So it's not your fault, it's a little top heavy. It. As am I. Yeah. Hmm. Okay. This is your fault, it's a little top heavy. Yes. As am I. Yeah. Mm. Okay. This is fantastic. I do love a rum drink and I just want to put it out there

if you ever see me at a bar and you want to strike the right note. I love, I love me rum. I'm part pirate in that way. I don't pillage, I don't plunder and I have no courage. And well, there's, that's that's what makes you a pirate the rum part okay I like to drink me around okay and then I like to fall asleep listening to my own podcast which to me says pirate all the way it's nice to be outside let me set the scene for our listeners we are out it's a beautiful

evening and we are outside and we are at the team cocoa headquarters here in the large mont area of Los Angeles. Home base. Home base. And there's a wonderful porch and we're sitting out in this porch. There is not a cloud in the sky. It's a gorgeous teal blue and everything is flowering because we had a lot of rain, this winter and spring. Yeah. Take it easy. It was gray up until like yesterday. Okay, can you let me just set the scene? Oh, sorry. Okay. You're the worst. What the hell? You're awesome. It's your more about your very descriptive of this patio that's covered. This is wonderful. We're sitting outside and we're sitting around a wonderful fire.

The solo stove. Now, listen, the solo stove. Listen, I'm not some chill, but I have to tell you, this solo stove is incredible. Beautiful design, and we can sit out here and it's a smokeless fire. Oh, just wait till episodes three and four. We're going to be making actual pizza in a solo stove pizza oven. Wait, wait a minute. Stop. Hold it. Talking. Are you saying? Yes. That they took the ingenious design of a solo stove. And then they somehow used that brilliant technology to make

an incredible pizza oven. That very thing. Yeah. Okay. But you're not a shill. Oh, not at all. Not at all. But let me just say again, solo stove.

The one we're sitting by right now, even if it weren't also capable of being a pizza oven is incredible. I've just never been happier sitting here and I know Senator doesn't like it, but again the teal blue sky. Yes, please, talk more. The quiet, the quiet song of the Whipper will. Look the lone bird up on that wire watching us.

Oh, look at that bird or it's a drone. That's a drone that looks like a, it's a, you know what it is, a rival podcast. They took it, it's smart-less. It's those smart-less guys. It's, you know what it is? That is podcast. They took it. It's smartless. It's those smartless guys. It's, you know what it is? That is, and I know that he's a tech guy, but Jason Bateman has created a drone and dressed it.

They're so fearful of our podcast, and they basted it with feathers, and they sent it out. And that's Bateman right now. Yeah, fuck you, Jason Bateman. Yeah, fuck off, Bateman. We know what you're up to. Right now he's watching it and well here's he's doing two things right now. He's watching us through the drone from his luxurious home in the hills that I've never been invited to. And he's also watching

his appearance in Teen Wolf at the same time. Teen Wolf 2, Teen Wolf 2. Teen Wolf 2, he's on a split screen. So here's to you, I salute those guys, I love those guys. Yeah. I don't know him. No, of course not. Oh, what do you mean, of course not? I think if they got to know me, they think I'm cool.

You're not in the club, Sonna. There's a celebrity club. Yeah, Sonna. Yeah. Matt and I are in duck club. It's called Oh, it's called duck club. We have a schvitz together Matt and I We go to Turkish baths exactly well to get a schvitz. I'm okay not being in this club I totally fine with it now. We hang out with all the big celebs. Okay, Everyone who's sort of like a sea-lister on Vanderpump rules.

Yeah. We hang out with. And by big celebs, we just were talking 450 and over and weight. Oh, like the art thing. You know all those really heavy people on Vanderpump rules? Hahaha. Hahaha. Is there all fat eat?

We're only friends with Terry. Oh no, no. No, you shouldn't have said that. Well, that's... I know, I'm sorry. Can we look that out? No with Terry. No, no, no, no, no, you shouldn't have said that. Well, that's... I'm sorry, can we put that out? No, do not cut that out. No, but, Sony, you know what I love? You start getting inappropriate after one sip.

Yeah. I mean, basically, you just had the equivalent of a cough draw. I know. And you're going, Oh, that is awesome. Nothing's happened. I don't like that.

It makes me feel like I fat-chamed. And you know what? I did pre-game before this. With you. Oh, please. I don't like that. It makes me feel like I fat-chamed. And you know what? I did pre-game before this with you. Oh, please. I had nothing. I had nothing. I had nothing. All right.

So, you know, I'm already feeling just a little bit of nothing. But then, you know, we just feel fine. I would admit that before this happened, we walked down the street and we went to a lovely Greek restaurant because we had a lot of time to kill. We finished a podcast and then we walked down the street. There was a lot of time to kill. And so on a said, let's invite Matt and I said, I can't hear you, let's keep walking.

And we, very nice outdoor Greek restaurant here in the Larchmont area. If someone knew the name, I'd shout it out, but I don't think anyone does. You're gonna call Leppatee Greek. Is it Leppatee Greek? Yeah. Wonderful.

And you can sit outside. Yeah. Maybe we had a glass of wine Maybe we had to I don't know yeah the important thing is that I was recognized God yeah Yeah, no, we had so many people come up to me and say I loved you in that movie where you're the conductor who's outed TAR? Yeah. Do you say people buy your cape lunchet? That would be where you get your come-up and stuff for every month.

You change which kind of strawberry blonde actress people must take you for. Because it's like, till to swim into Cynthia Nixon to now I believe Cape Blanchett. It's also been Jane Lynch for a while. Jane Lynch, right. Yeah. All those women are angry with me. Yeah. That's the last one.

And it's not a funny one. Exactly. But anyway, we had a wonderful time and we walked back here. And I have to say, and again, at the risk of repeating myself, a teal blue sky. Oh, God. The sun, now listen, it is a wonderful, wonderful night

and we're here and we're together and that's the important thing we're together and actually more important than that, we have some room. Yeah. And more important than that we're together is that we get to be a part when this is done. What does that mean? Well, I just, you know, a little goes a long way.

My wife always says, if you don't leave, how can I miss you? And she says that a lot. My wife says that maybe eight times a day. Now I originally pitched that we did three episodes of this at night. We spend the night and then we do three episodes in the morning, like we can't here. Oh.

I would do that. Really? Yeah. So, so did you wear the holdout? I am. I'm okay. Listen. Hey guys, So, so do you. I am. I'm okay. Listen.

I think you're okay. I think you're okay. I think you're okay. I think you're okay. I think you're okay. I think you're okay. I think you're okay. Did you hear that?

Yeah. Can you hear that in the background? Those choppers going by. Those motorcycles. Those are guys that are living fast and free. And you know what? They're probably listening to old episodes of this podcast right now. Well, they ride their choppers. Yeah. I don't know, I would do that.

I would camp out. Yeah. Yeah. Do you camp? I've never, in all the time I've worked for you, I've never like helped you buy a sleeping bag. Well, you don't need to help me buy a sleeping bag. I've, like, do you, you have a tent? How would you help him buy a sleeping bag?

Yeah. I would buy it for him. I would say so and I need a sleeping bag. And then she would go and say, do you have the John Tash? Do you have the Frankenstein? Give me a body bag for Andre the Giant. I mean, that's basically what you're saying. Summer Smoor series is back each year.

We gather on a Solo Stowe fire pit. It's kinda nice. You can tell you guys. I love you too. I'm okay. I know. Man, I love each other. So it's just okay.

This year's Solo Stowe sentence, the bonfire. It's designed to put out some serious heat without putting off that dirty S word. You know what I'm talking about? Smoke. Yeah. It know what I'm talking about? Smoke. Yeah. It's like I tell you, the solo stoves uniquely designed to burn off smoke before it ever escapes

the top of the fire pit. Once you set around a smokeless fire, you'll never wanna go back. Guys, correct me if I'm wrong. I've sat around some fires in my day, okay? Smoke gets in my eyes, I start crying. People think I'm having an emotional breakdown. I'm taking away and put into an institution.

There's no smoke here. We've got a nice fire, we've got some heat, but no smoke. That's why we know you're crying is actually just emotional and that's smokey. Exactly. I'm crying because I'm with two people I love very much. Oh wait, who's here?

That's me. Oh, wait, who's here? That's me. Oh, that's me. Oh, wait, sorry, my glasses weren't on. Anyway, still a stuff. Has multiple different colors that are portable, so you can take it into the back country, you can go to the beach, you can go up to the top of a mountain, you're going to a deep cave, it looks good,

it works great, plus it has a lifetime warranty, which means we could do easily 7,000 seasons of this show. That's a lot. Any, will. I'd like to retire at some point. I don't think so. Your family has said they're fine with you working. Anyway, we could do a lot of seasons, and that solo stove would keep on cooking.

Go check them out. It's solostove.com and use promo code Conan to get $10 off your new pit. Have you ever pooped in a hole? What are you doing? Don't take it too long. No, I'm not saying this is part of legit camping is when you dig a hole and then that's where you go into the bathroom and then you dig it back. That is not true. Those of us who are sophisticated

campers bring a porcelain toilet with us. Solo stuff makes one of those. Well actually, I don't want to sell you their name because I do love the company, Solo Stove. But guess what? If anyone could do it, they could. could. You could warm your bottom as you relieve yourself. No, I am gonna tell you that I, check it out on Amazon. There's incredible inventions out there. They have beautiful toilets, porcelain toilets the way hundreds of pounds

that you can take camping with. And then you pull a chain when you're done. Oh, okay. I just, you don't strike me as like the camping, roughing it tight. I don't. I did a lot of camping back in the day, when I was a young lad. What day?

Uh, well, it would be when I was a young and I was sent off to Freedom New Hampshire and I hiked all of the, uh, white mountain range, your, you know, all the presidential's, uh, and I did a ton of hiking and mountain climbing when I was a kid. So yeah, I did, and I was a lean machine back in that day. Then time went on, time marched on, and I became the sad, sorry figure you know. No, no. But no, I would like to camp.

I will say that no one in my family is that interested in it, but I have taken my kids camping a bunch of times. I just feel like if we decided to camp here, Gourley and I would be out here in like sleeping bags and you'd be inside in on like a really comfortable bed that you would have brought in. Oh no, that's not fair. I would be at the forest season, so.

Oh, look. Paparazzi! Paparazzi! No, it's a cop! Lead me alone, I'm Paparazzi! Oh! Paparazzi! It's a cop! Leave me alone! I'm just a person! You know what the problem is, they always think I'm Prince Harry. They see a really...

Yes, they always see a really good-looking ginger. Certainly not. And then they're like, there's Prince Harry and it's like, please, leave me alone. I'm a person. I know I've given a lot to this country with my comedy and my stylings, my rap, but. Oh, you're her rap. But anyway, I'm sorry for the occasional chopper,

but that's just what comes with the territory. We're outside where the paps can get a good look at. Yeah, Alfresco, this is, this is livin'. You know, this is really nice. It's gonna take another step. Who needs a little topper off? I might need, I might need her a little bit more. Okay, so you just failed, you just failed a sobriety test.

Three minutes in two. I feel perfectly fine. I know you look terrific. I know I feel perfectly fine. And I believe you gendered your drink. It's a hurt. I like that. It's like a ship.

Do you want some more? Boss? I'm looking at the ice and it's Sam Elliott and his face is melting. Yeah, you can put some more in there. Okay. No, I would very much like to go, I like to sleep in a tent.

I really do. I enjoy that life. And I've loved the times that I've gone camping with my kids. Okay. So, I, you know, I think you're wrong on all counts. Okay. I don't think I am. You are. Okay. Alright, but okay.

And also, I'm really good at a camping breakfast. Are you? Yes, I am. I know how to make, I brought a little portable like heat up skillet last time I went I've bought and I made a lot of pancakes for my kids and then other kids came who were nearby and I made a lot of pancakes for them I'm just saying I know I'm a failure at most things, but I did I do very well at a campsite. Who are these other kids? They were actors I hired. The sad thing is they were child actors from a long time ago.

So when they showed up, they were on their 40s and 50s. I remember me on 8 is enough. Oh my God. What are you doing here? Yeah, Jason Bateman. Jason Bateman. Um, yeah, this is lovely. It's really nice out here.

I'm gonna throw another log on the solos dough. Oh nice man, that's the great thing about solos do Wow, that was not graceful Be graceful. Yeah, I'm sorry the way that they've designed it It's just I mean, I loved it. There's no smoke whenever I sit around a fire the smoke is always blowing in my face Because the smoke is like oh look. It's him and it comes towards me Smoke always goes towards the a-lister in the room. I can't believe I used to be funny. I swear to God I've gone camping with Jason Bateman and the smoke is blowing in his face and

then I sit down next to him and it switches over to me. No. It does. I'm sorry. Right now the smoke is heading towards a plant. No. The smoke did not enjoy the ending of Ozark. So. What? That is your beef with Jason Beep. He sent.

If you knew the things that Jason Baton has done to me over the years, he's made it a mission to ruin my life. So this is lovely. And you know what I have to say, Gourley, you're the consummate, fresh and all in every way. You have that, you look great. Look at him.

Look at the way he's all dressed up. So no offense, you're wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, okay? It's fine. I didn't know we had to dress up for candy. You're dressed up, but you're brando in streetcarning desire. And then over here is the professor. He's's professorial I'd rather he's Henry I mean I want to be brando and streetcar name desire but I that's a better comparison

than a professor I just think if you what once my transmission gonna be done you know what do you what do you think the damages I don't know there is a dress. What do I look nice? Look at me. Don't I look nice? I think I look. Who does that? Hey, aren't you late for your feud with the sharks?

That's a sweet burn. Oh my god. Is it if that's a sweet burn? I don't know. I'm sorry, my friends. You guys are the biggest doies. Aren't you? Stay go pony boy. Hey, there's a time for me to go rumble.

Notice I said feud not rumble just just in general just taste for the sharks. Like today at 4 p.m. You're gonna go feud with the Look, I think you look fantastic, Sony. You know that, I'm just saying you didn't go all out. That's all. And as, like, I didn't know we had to go all out. This is a, uh, audio medium.

I bought this shirt like half an hour ago. Did I not, you were with me. I, you did. I walked into a store and I said, I've had the same look all day. We've been on camera, talking to different people. I need to change it up.

I spent my own money to buy this beautiful shirt. And yeah, this set me back $110. Really? Yeah. What's it made of? You said really? Yeah. It's made of gold. I don't think it was $110. I think it was $10.

That's nonsense. Anyway, it, I don't want to was 110 I think it was $10 Anyway, it's I want to talk about these pants you've got these kind of like Fringe cut off pant legs. What's going on here? Okay, you guys are really bringing your a-game today So I'm gonna kind of tell you something when a couple guys go camping yeah The man side of us comes out, right? And then we start talking about the wonderful blue top that I bought. And then we talk about my jeans from Shaefer Garment Hotel. Oh, that's that like a John Wick hotel where you go.

No, it is the place where remember years ago, I was doing something and our good friend, Jeff Goblum, I said, Jeff, you're a similar build to me and you always look impeccable. Those jeans are amazing. He went, oh, my boy. Oh, and he started touching my face and going, oh, oh, oh, it's a shaper garment hotel. Oh, and then he became the fly and he buzzed away. But yeah, it's an amazing place in Hollywood and they make jeans that fit a man of my proportions. Other than that, I'd have to go to the circus.

Yeah. Anywho, you asked and I answered. You two are really rugged guys. We are rugged guys. Yeah, no, no, you are. Just a couple men's men. I'm loving it now here. I'm having a good time and no one's gonna take me down. You know what?

The sky is a lovely teal. What's changing now? It's a turquoise now. Yeah, it's a turquoise. Oh, it's really I think it's a dim periwinkle. Okay, that's your rap name. Three is dim periwinkle. Hey, hey, yo, yo. I'm bringing it. I'm Dim Burley. I'm here to throw it. I was thought the worst rap name would be Podacrem. For a rapper who had been shot 15 times and had a ton of street cred,

but his name was Podacrem. And Banana's Foster. And but in his five. What's Podacrem? Podacrem is a pot of street cred, but his name was Podacrem. And Banana's Foster. And but his F.O.D. Podacrem. Podacrem is like a pot of heavy rich chocolate cream. Okay. It's a very fancy rich dessert. You wouldn't understand it unless you'd gone camping

with us, you might know. No, okay. Or if you grew up in the hood, you'd know about the great rapper Podacrem. Mm, his drum is so delicious. Various Caribbean escapades I've had in the past. Mmm, yes, various trists, the Caribbean that I've had. Let's see, did I ever have a trist in the Caribbean?

Ooh, what would you? Coming up empty. I know. Coming up negative balance. I'm having a good time and you know what? I'm looking forward to seeing where this adventure goes because this is just the start of the evening. That's right. There is more to come.

This is just the beginning. The next episode, the sky will have turned. I'm gonna say a dark, dark, navy blue with just a touch of slate. Holding my breath. Yeah, but also, I can't wait. But listen, we're going to make pizzas, I'm told, and we're going to make them in this incredible invention, which boggles the mind.

And as you listen, you're going to hear Sona lose more and more control of herself because you have to admit, so now you cannot hold your drink. You can't hold your liquor. I don't drink as much as I used to. Even when you're... I dabble in the gong now. Okay.

And so I don't... Is that your rap name? I dabble in the gong? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. That'll be my... That's not cool though, but yeah.

So I don't drink as much as I used to. But even when you drank a lot, if you would have very little, you would get tipsy and often abusive towards me. Oh, yeah. That, I think that I used to drink as an excuse to get abusive, but I wasn't that bad. You weren't that bad. You've always been a conspiment professional, he said, lying through his face. But the important thing is, you need to stay tuned because Sona is going to lose control.

She's going to be saying, yeah, you remember last year? Yeah, I know, that's why I'm sipping my beverage. You're on your second. And it's the first episode. Well, I'm sorry. You're on your second and we are our first night outside. It's your first crack. We're the first night outside.

Are you trying to convince people? How are you doing, buddy? Yeah, what are we doing? What are we doing? No, because didn't we do one in studio? Yes, we did. I thought I was being very responsible and actually on track. Oh.

Keeping track of everything. Yet, I'm accused of being the drunkard. Well, you said our second night outside? Yeah. No, I fixed it. I did my best to make sure that everything was on track. I'll say that again. Okay.

Oh, you gotta leave that in. Okay. Well, no, I was actually- I don't think I did actually. I don't know. You're gonna listen to it again and realize that what I said it was the correct thing that you guys weren't thinking.

I know. And then you'll be about this. I'm not gonna lie, I already forgot what you said. Let me just put this in. I don't even remember what we're talking about. Two options. You are so right, Conan. You are so right, so now. And then I can splice that what we're talking to. Two options. You are so right, Conan. You are so right, Sona.

And then I can splice that in. Nice. Okay. Terrific. Well, I'm glad we're all here together. Yeah. I've always wanted to be with my best friends. Your children's? Well, they were unavailable.

Oh, but then I got you guys, but I'm here in a building that I own, enjoying a stove that I endorse. And these are the things that make me happy. And I think that's the essence of a life well-lived. You are truly doing something unique. You are in a building you own with a stove you endorse wearing jeans that were basically sanctioned by Jeff Goldblum. Yeah. Drinking a drink that you made, expert cocktailier. indoors wearing jeans that were basically sanctioned by Jeff Goldblum. Yep.

Drinking a drink that you made, expert cocktailier. No, I'm just the hobbyist. This has just never happened on Earth before in humankind, this distinct moment. That's true. Were you a bartender? No, no. I don't think I could ever have been a bartender. I don't think I could have handled that pressure.

You know what, you have a temper, you know that. Yeah. Why you, what is it? Is this true? Is this true? No, no that pressure. You know what, you have a temper, you know that? Yeah. And why you, what is it? Is this, is this true? Is this true? No, no, no, no, is that what this is? You just said you wouldn't be a good bartender. I think the minute someone did anything that displeased you,

you would see red and lose it on them. That true or false? I, yeah, I think that what you're saying is right, but I don't know why you have to bring it up. I could just have this dream of being a bartender. I always go towards the truth. Wonderful evening with both of you. I think you'd be like, oh, give me four minutes

to make your beer. I want to make it just right. OK, well, you don't really make the beer, do you? Don't you just take the top off? I mean, now it makes a little bit of this beer with a little that beer and then a little of this other beer. Some from the bottles, some from the tag. There's the Conan Special and I look around in the whole bar, I don't think. No one's there. Alright, we got to wrap it up. I will see you all next time as this evening progresses The sky darkens and so do our moods. See you then
