Summer S'mores with Conan and the Chill Chums,
a six-part series with Conan O'Brien,
Sonam Avsesian, and Matt Gourley.
Let's get started.
Well, we're out of the studio and into the night.
What?
Uh, sure.
I, uh, I wanna paint a picture
because I think that's what one must do in this medium.
I wanna let our fans know that this is a very special
Summer S'mores, Chill Chums, whatever you want to call it.
Because not only are we out of the studio, we're at Sona's house.
Yeah.
And Sona's house is in Altadena, California.
This is not a long jaunt for you, is it, Gorley?
Because you live in Pasadena.
Right. It was 15 minutes door to door.
Okay. Let me...
It was so nice.
I want to know you were going to talk about how far it is to come here?
Is it okay if I explain my journey?
My journey began six days ago.
Um, a series of buses, three horses died underneath me.
Uh, there was a period on foot.
I took a ship.
It's absolutely incredible.
I went first of all, to our, from my house to our studio.
Now you guys know that I live on an abandoned oil rig
that's off the shore of Santa Monica.
And I live there because of my great wealth
and my eccentricities.
And most of the time, you just wear a hard hat
and cut off jean shorts, and that's it out there?
Yeah.
And I actually, you know, for a while,
I lived there just to be eccentric.
And then I realized I might as well get some oil out of this.
So I often just work there getting the oil out of the seabed.
And I make a good money that way.
Anyway, I go from Western part of Los Angeles.
And then I go to Larchmont.
And that only got me like a quarter of the way to here.
Did you try driving in a car?
I did.
Okay, because you were talking about a bus and a horse.
Yeah.
And I'm just curious if you tried getting into an automobile.
I guess I was allowing my comedic flights of fancy
to get the better of me.
Oh, that was supposed to be funny.
It was very funny, hence all the laughter.
We speak a different language of comedy
up here in the mountains.
Oh.
So anyway.
I'm sorry, I didn't know that's what you were going for.
That was really funny.
It took a long time to get here.
It took a long time to get here.
But you know, there's two of us that live here.
You're the one that lives far, not Sona.
Yeah, you live far.
And you know what?
I commute to Larchmont all the time for work and it's not that bad.
I think it's this time of day there was a lot of traffic.
Also, you're sick.
I'm fine actually.
No, you sound very sick.
And I think when you're sick.
Bad show business guys.
You're not well.
No, when you get sick you get very like
It's bad show business.
Complaining about things.
You're not well.
It's bad show business.
You're like, I don't like to do anything.
You never tell people that you're not well.
I got a little bit of a chest cold about a week ago.
Normally I wouldn't say anything about it.
People can hear your voice. What's it. People can hear your voice.
What's that?
People can hear your voice.
You don't sound normal.
I don't sound normal.
I actually sound better probably.
You do sound a little sexy.
Whenever I get a cold,
I sound the way I should sound as a man.
Really?
Yeah, I have kind of a rasp to my voice.
It is pretty cool.
Yeah, I wish I smoked.
But anyway, I'm feeling much better now.
I just still got a little bit of the rasp. Make my day. Yeah. Remember that one? Yeah.
Dirty drag. Why'd you ask him? Everybody remembers that one. You're too young.
Yeah, but I think you don't have to be older to know that that's a famous line. Make my day.
Remember when Reagan used that? Remember when he's, he tried to use it in one of his speeches You don't have to be older to know that that's a famous line. Make my day.
Remember when Reagan used that?
Remember when he tried to use it in one of his speeches and it was a big hit?
That I don't remember. He said, if you think Congress is going to try not to pass that bill, make my day.
So sexy.
Do you remember that, Matt?
I kind of remember that.
Okay.
So sexy.
Well, it took us down a bad road.
You're losing even me now.
Okay.
Wait, so now that you're here though, you made it,
what do you think?
It's nice to be up in the mountains here, isn't it?
Uh, sure. Yeah.
I hate...
Come on!
I'm gonna be honest with you, I drove,
I was driven here in a very tiny car.
Wait, you're complaining and you were driven here?
Well, when you hear which car I was in,
I was in David's car.
Now, David drives a car. I looked up his car. His car I was in. Okay. I was in David's car. Now David drives a car.
I looked up his car.
His car is technically a croissant on, on wheels.
It's a tiny little machine.
What is the make and model?
It's a BMW, but they don't even put the B.
It's just the MW.
It's a Mini Cooper.
It's just Motorworks.
He drives a Mini Cooper.
No, I know, but he got a Mini Cooper that's cut in half.
It's a roller skating? Yeah. The half model.
You know, several times his car has been mistaken for a breath mint on the highway.
And so David was driving me and so I am crammed next to him.
He's driving.
And then David proceeds to tell me some very upsetting news.
Now you'd think his job would be to calm me on the ride over. I'm talent.
Yeah. First of all, he should have rented like a limo or something, but no.
We're in his head. And was David to drive that limo? Would he be in a little chauffeur's cab?
Yes, I would make him wear a very tiny chauffeur's hat.
But David went on, David told me that he, he said,
oh Conan, you know this site, Doumois? Yeah.
Where they have celebrity sightings?
He said on Doumois, David, do you wanna step over here
for a second?
It's fine, it's really, there's a microphone right there.
David's here, he just unfolded himself from the car. David, is your car okay or did a bird eat it?
Everything's fine.
Okay, all right.
Okay, you told me first of all that Dumois
listed a couple of celebrity asks when they travel.
Hotel requests, yeah.
If they go to a hotel room.
And you listed two and then you had what is supposedly mine.
Yeah.
So can you do the other two first and then mine?
So it's like J.Lo requested a bathtub full of Evian water.
Oh.
Where's the other one?
I've heard that about Nicole Kidman.
Things are turning into urban legends.
Keep going.
Let's see.
Well anyway, there was another one.
John Travolta requested VCR and blackout curtains.
Who did?
And then you go to Conan and it says,
Conan requests a basket of muffins.
Basket of muffins. Basket of muffins.
Now, first of all, Sona, you've worked with me many years.
I've never requested a basket of muffins.
I don't mind that they make stuff up.
That's part of the game.
I know it.
But can't they make up something that's kind of cool?
I don't know.
That seems pretty on point for you.
A basket of muffins.
A basket of muffins?
That is a...
With this photo of you holding your vinyl?
Oh, my God.
Conan requests a basket of muffins.
The least threatening person in show business.
Picture me, you know, crammed into this tiny clown car.
Apologies to BMW.
With David.
And David says, oh, and I've got some news for you.
And he tells me that the world, because all the world
knows about DuMois, thinks that I'm some muffin addict,
holed up in a hotel room, just gorging my fat Irish face
with muffins.
And then I'm, and we're driving and driving and driving,
and I'm watching these hawks circle,
circle our little chicklet of a car,
because they think it's a breadcrumb
rolling down the highway.
A lot of hawks here.
You know? And then, so I was in a bad mood when I got here.
What if it said like, oh, you request like,
you know, the bag of dildos?
Yes.
You know?
They don't come, listen, sonar. They could be so much worse. I mean? They don't come in bags, they come in packages of four.
They come in steel suitcases.
Well I'm just saying, I wouldn't want to be the Avion person
because that just makes you sound like a dick.
But like a basket of muffins, hey you're a nice guy.
You're the muffin man.
You're a muffin guy, you're the muffin man.
No, I would want it to be Conan. Now I know the muffin man. You're a muffin guy. You're the muffin man. No, I would want it to be Conan.
Now I know the muffin man.
The muffin man.
The muffin man.
The muffin man.
Stop it.
Stop it.
He wants the autobiography of General Ulysses S. Grant, a copy of it in his room, and like
a shot of tequila.
Like, that's what I want people to think about me.
But you want that every time you travel.
How many biographies of US Grand are you gonna read?
You can read that thing again and again and again.
It's such a good story.
But now you realize you're gonna start getting baskets
of muffin in your dressing rooms wherever you go.
I know.
That's pretty cool though.
That is cool.
I think that there's.
I don't want a basket of muffins.
I don't need muffins.
Does an egg McMuffin count as a muffin?
No, I don't think so.
It's a McMuffin.
Once you put a Mick in front of something,
it's not that thing anymore, you know?
A corn Mick Cob is not a corn on the cob at all.
It's just a rule.
Mick takes away all the properties
of the noun that follows it.
Yep, we're here in Altadena.
That was...
Fasted a muffin.
Wow.
It really is so stupid.
So we are here.
Oh, you know what's really cute?
How did it get to that point?
You want to know what's really cute?
And I like to look around me and observe things,
because that's what's made me a good broadcaster.
Um, is that...
I'm a broadcaster.
...is that right now I just looked,
and the curtains parted,
and two angelic faces looked out.
Right after you just yelled out,
Bag of Dildos.
I know. But Sonas Twins... My kids can never listen to this podcast. faces looked out. Right after you just yelled out, bag of dildos.
Sonas twins. They can never listen to this podcast.
Sonas twins, Mikey and Charlie are peering out the window
and I'm waving at them and they're wondering,
why is Jane Lynch waving back at them from the yard?
Hi, guys.
They're there. They're staring at us.
They're probably very excited.
They were very proud to show me their room.
Yes. They showed me their room. Every time they get something new, like a pillow, they're probably very excited. They were very proud to show me their room. Yes. They showed me their room.
Every time they get something new,
like a pillow they need to show everybody.
They're so boring right now.
Okay.
Terrible thing to say.
No.
These are your children.
I know.
Who wants to see a pillow?
Do you know how many people they showed their blankets to?
Like, okay, it's a blanket.
I think it's cause it's them and they've never like
had new things like new blankets before. So it's exciting.. I think it's because it's them and they've never had new things,
like new blankets before, so it's exciting.
But you also have to be like, oh my God.
So they have so few things,
that's probably why they treasure them.
What do you mean?
That's not true.
They have very little.
My kids are very well taken care of.
They're in a good place.
You know, Rachel had one toy and a cookie at Christmas
and that's about it.
Oh.
You run a strict household.
It's beautiful here, though. It's very nice.
There's a nice marine lair.
Would you call that a marine lair?
I don't know.
I don't can you?
Okay, you're a fun group.
Oh, I'm sorry.
We're not talking about the marine lair.
Sorry there's not a bag of muffins here for you.
You're really starting the party here with the marine lair.
Let's talk more about the weather.
You came in so cranky, and you're getting on us?
I know, you're, cause you're sick.
And that's what I'm saying.
You get cranky when you're sick.
You do not harp on people being sick.
You don't do that in show business.
You don't, we're in show business.
And that's, that's where we're different.
I grew up in show business.
Show business is in my blood.
You hijacked show business.
Your mom's a lawyer.
My dad's not a real doctor. I asked to see his certificate. You get a lot of mumbling and shumbling.
No, but you know. Uh-oh, what? Would you got something? No, I was gonna say again how
you're sick because you sound sick and then you get grumpy when you're sick
sometimes and so now you're already... Not at all. I'm in a good mood. Not only did you have to drive far to get here, I think you
started in an angry spot. I don't think I started in a good mood. Not only did you have to drive far to get here, I think you started in an angry spot.
I don't think I started in an angry spot.
I think my staff, they've been squeezing me a little bit lately.
You're blaming your staff?
Yes, all great leaders blame their staff.
Stalin shot every staff he ever had.
Listen, did I fly to New York to do the Upfront?
Sure.
Did I fly back and do a podcast the next day?
Yes, I did.
Am I constantly shoved around and told, go here, go there?
Yes, I am.
I give and I give and I give.
And what do I get out of it?
What do I get out of it besides great wealth?
And a series of properties that are just stunning.
I think that everyone here owes me an apology.
Nobody owes you an apology. Okay. But I'm glad you came here. Yes. Yes. That was all a prelude
to me saying thanks for having me over. Oh, that's where we ended up. I'm sorry I don't have muffins
for you, but I'm really glad you're here. Well, I got here as soon as I could. It takes a while
longer when you're in a car as small as David's. Oh, OK.
The wheel has to turn 15 times every time
that a normal wheel would turn once.
Yeah.
LL Bean's clothing accessories are staples all year round, like the classic LL Bean boat and tote bag.
You can monogram that by the way.
But this summer, there's so much use that can come out of their outdoor gear, like LL Bean's campsite organizer.
You ever use one of those?
It's great.
You're sitting next to one.
Yeah, you're using one right now.
That's the organizer.
That's amazing.
I know I'm pointing to it.
This portable organizer features three shelves
for storing camping or picnic gear,
camping utensils, grilling tools, and more.
It's perfect anywhere you wanna keep gear in order,
because I need my gear in order,
and Gorley, I'm guessing you do too.
I like a good gear order.
I need gear?
No, okay, take it easy.
Yeah, it comes with a carry bag so you can just throw it into the car with all the rest
of your campsite accoutrement.
Just don't forget the LL Bean insulated camp tumbler.
It's a great choice for hot or cold drinks.
I got a cold one in here right now.
When you're sitting around the campsite, you want to keep the hot hot and the cold cold.
I like it because it's a nice size.
It's a nice size.
Perfect.
The double wall vacuum insulation keeps beverages hot or cold for hours.
You know, when I'm out in the woods or out at Dina,
No, I like to have, first of all, L.L. Bean clothing is great.
I like the clothes they have.
I do too.
But I like all their stuff.
And as you know, I'm a New Englander, so I grew up with L.L.Bean.
You know, it's just, you hear that bird in the background?
The bird's going, L.L.Bean, L.L.Bean, L.L.Bean, L.L.Bean.
Even the birds are into it here.

Big pig news. We've got Whistle Pig Whiskey as a sponsor. or more. Big Pig News!
We've got Whistle Pig Whiskey as a sponsor.
Whistle Pig transformed an off-the-grid Vermont dairy farm into one of the world's leading
whiskey distilleries.
Whistle Pig is famous for their award-winning whiskies that are aged longer than any other
American whiskey, some waiting in the barrel for decades.
They're also known for pushing the boundaries of bold flavor with wildly experimental whiskey
making.
Like their new Whistle Pig Camp Stock Wheat Whiskey,
aged in barrels, toasted by solo stoves.
Good Lord!
Product integration.

around the campfire in the summer.
We'll be sippin' it with s'mores in hand.
Here's a toast to Whistle Pig, the whiskey of the summer.

bar or liquor store. Please remember to always pig out responsibly.
Did it specify what kind of muffins or just a basket of muffins?
It just said basket of muffins.
It just said basket of muffins?
Yeah, someone's pulling my chain at Dumois.
That's so weird.
That's all.
I like that it has to be in a basket.
That feels almost like fairy tale.
Muffins are always in a basket.
Can you just make shit up and send it to them and just be like, oh, this person needs, you
know, I can't think of things.
Yeah, David, is there a way to correct DuMois?
We can DM him.
No, don't.
The only other thing you're always on there,
it's either the basket of muffins or you eating sushi, so.
Well, I do eat a lot of sushi.
That one's true.
What about a basket of sushi?
They're 50-50.
I'm just saying, can we make stuff up about people
and send it in and just be like,
I know that so-and-so requests, you know, whatever.
This feels like Gossip Girl.
Yeah. I don't think, I mean,
it's not The Washington Post, you know, it's not.
They're not fact checking.
Yeah, they're not fact checking.
Also, people are loving, if it's true,
the muffins in the comments.
People are really happy that you.
Well, then I'm gonna double down on it.
I love, I loves me muffins.
I loves me muffins.
Tell us a little bit about Altadena,
because the whole point of making this a special podcast
and us being outside and spending, I think, a fortune,
to have everyone come here and travel great distances...
ALTIDENA FISHERMAN-FLEMINGER-FORMER
...to set up cameras and microphones
and what appears to be a solo stove.
And if it's not a solo stove, I don't want to be near it,
because I will only be near a solo stove.
Those things are fantastic.
Solo stove, best stove you can have outdoors.
Solo stove.
Tell us a little bit about Altadena.
Do you know anything about its history?
I don't.
Oh.
OK.
All right.
It's north of Pasadena.
There's horses that come here all the time.
Every once in a while, I can hear a pack of coyotes
killing an animal, and it's a horrifying sound.
Are they killing them?
There's coyotes attack animals and you can hear it.
Oh, you can hear it.
What does it sound like?
Um,
And then it's just silence.
We get that on my street too in Pasadena.
Right?
Doesn't it sound like just like screaming?
It's vicious. It's. And it's a lot of that. In Pasadena, we get that, yeah. Doesn't it sound like just like screaming? It's vicious, yeah.
It's vicious, it's awful.
It's like something that'll like traumatize you.
So we hear that a lot.
And then there's just, you know, little,
there's always animals, there's bears,
and there's, you know, bobcats sometimes.
I love it, I love wild animals.
No, you don't.
I do.
No, I don't think you do.
Do you really like wild animals?
Yes, I think it's cool.
I love being around nature.
I think it's neat.
I think it's neat to be in your house
and know that there's just animals out there
roaming around, it's cool.
Do you go camping?
Have we talked about it?
Have we talked about him going camping?
I don't know if we've talked about, do you go camping?
Like, did you go tent in a, in a, in a...
What?
Sona?
Are you okay?
Sona.
Sona, quick.
Have you ever slept in a tent?
Touch your index finger to your nose right now.
I'm totally fine.
Have you ever slept in a tent, in like a sleeping bag?
Of course I have, yeah.
When I was a kid I went to camp.
I know and you boiled your legs on a tin boat or something.
Yeah, I boiled my legs in a canoe.
Yeah, I went to camp many years up in New Hampshire.
Okay.
Went to a camp in Maine.
But did you ever go camping of your own accord,
like with friends or family?
I made up my own volition.
Yes.
Do I?
Is there a difference between accord and volition?
No, accord works perfectly.
I just gave you a synonym.
I don't know what the problem is.
All I did was give you another word that was also valid.
What's wrong with that?
That's fun.
That's saying, yeah, I see what you...
That's fun.
Yeah, I'm going to give you a different word for fun. That's a dick move.
It's not a dick move.
It's fun.
You said, do you go to your own court of my own volition?
Well, of course I do. That's just two guys having fun with one of the greatest languages
ever invented, the English language.
When did you just become the human thesaurus that nobody asked for? Have you gone camping of your own volition?
Yes, I did. Yeah, I have. And I also took my kids camping.
So, yeah.
But what kind of... Were you glamping or were you camping?
Define glamping.
You're in a yurt and there's a refrigerator.
No.
Did you pitch your own tent? Have you, like, gotten a tent?
Why are you smiling? Why are you a 12 year old boy?
Have you ever pitched your own tent?
Stop laughing.
What is wrong with you?
Stop laughing.
That wasn't even, you're a grown man.
I have a follow up question.
I'm not even laughing that much.
I don't even know how else to ask that question.
Have you ever gotten a boner?
That I've proven as much,
that's much more difficult than pitching a tent.
Pitching a tent is relatively easy.
Getting an erect penis is a whole other, that takes a lot of pulleys and struts.
Counterweights.
You need counterweights.
You need to get a lot of other people involved.
You hold that end.
A lot of other people?
You hold that end.
You hold this end. This is good other people. You hold that end, you hold this end. Ha ha ha ha ha.
This is good fun.
See?
Now we're cooking.
We're cooking really good now.
You know, people don't do that in show business.
Say what?
They don't say, hey guys, this is real good fun.
Sure they do.
Hey, I gave you a synonym, that's funny.
They do and they're not well.
Yeah.
You're doing things we don't do in show business.
Yeah, you sure know your show business, Sona.
Ha ha ha ha. You got so. I should nose it.
I love the air here, too.
Smells like fire.
It does sort of smell like a fire.
Well, that might be the solo stove.
But you know what's cool about the solo stove,
and we haven't even gotten to the ad part of the solo stove.
I know.
There's no smoke.
Beautiful.
What a beautiful design.
I don't know who did it.
I did it.
Hope they get a Nobel Prize.
I did it.
I did it. Let me ask you something Nobel Prize. No, I didn't. I didn't design it.
Let me ask you something. Do you know your neighbors?
I do.
Do your neighbors know that you're recording
a pretty well-known podcast right here in your yard?
My friends who live two houses down, I told them.
Are they going to come by?
They wanted to, but I didn't
know how to do it where it wasn't awkward.
What do you mean? They can just come and-
They're just going to come and stand here?
Yeah, and I'd sign an eight by ten for them.
Oh, come on.
Not of me.
That's weird.
Of who?
I don't know, like the star of Hawaii Five-O,
the new one, not the old one.
The new Hawaii Five-O.
Daniel Kim?
There you go. Daniel Kim.
I often sign his headshot.
People get really confused.
Did you ever see the episode of the new Hawaii Five-O
where they CG- Jack Lord into it
in some of the worst CG you've ever seen?
You know, I grew up on the original Hawaii Five-0
with Jack Lord, and Jack Lord was the inspiration
for my hairstyle.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah, I used to see his hair, it was all piled up,
and he always had a little coil going forward.
And I remember it as a kid going,
I wish I lived in Hawaii and was a detective
and had that haircut.
Well, one of those things came true.
I got the hair.
And then, all these years later, I'm
talking to one of my heroes on the podcast.
And I forget who it was, but it was so many heroes.
I think it was Nixon.
No, I was talking to, you know what I think it was?
It was Kurt Russell.
I was talking to Kurt Russell.
And Kurt Russell was a child actor.
And he was on that Hawaii Five-0.
And he said he did a scene with Jack Lord
and Jack Lord didn't have his wig on.
And I said, what?
And he went, yeah, man, that was a piece.
I didn't realize that.
So my hair hero, my hair that I've spent my lifetime
perfecting and crafting is based on a sham.
What if your hair just all fell out at that moment?
At that moment just fell off. It's like the coyote realizing he's standing on nothing.
Yeah.
And he looks at the Cameron Falls. So anyway, now there's a new Hawaii Five-O.
Who's Jack Lord?
He's the first Felix Lightersona.
Oh, right. Okay. I thought Don Johnson was in... No, was that...
That's Miami Vice.
Miami Vice?
Okay.
It's not the same show.
It sounds like it.
It's across, it couldn't be farther.
Okay.
No, no, Hawaii Five-O,
Hawaii and Miami couldn't be farther apart.
But they're both sunny, and aren't they both detectives?
So I know one of them, they roll their shirt,
their jackets up.
Yeah, that's Hawaii Five-O.
No, that's Miami Vice.
That's Miami Vice.
Exactly.
That's Don Johnson.
Okay, and have you seen Don Johnson?
Oh.
Here's my point.
My point is that Hawaii Five-O, a show from the 60s
and it goes into the early 70s,
Miami Vice, show from the 80s.
Jack Lord, star of the show in the original Hawaii Five-O,
my hair was basically based on his hair,
and then it turned out to be a sham.
Now there's a new Hawaii Five-O,
and you say that they tried to put Jack Lord,
who I'm sure has been dead for a long time.
It's insane because they didn't have much of a budget.
The CG is god awful, and one of the main guys
is talking to him in a really dark room.
You have to watch it. Anybody that's listening to this has to see it.
I mean, I want to see it the minute this podcast is over,
if we can get electricity up here.
I want to plug something in.
No, no, we'll use your generator or whatever.
There's, there's, it's a normal place.
Alta Dena's a normal place.
It's a normal city.
That's what the sign said when I entered.
It said, Alta Dena, a normal place,
just like the other places.
Just like all the other places.
Established 2014.
What's our elevation here?
Do you know your elevation?
No.
Oh, for God's sake, what kind of life do you live?
Who knows their elevation?
Do you know your elevation?
Yep, A-lister.
Oh, boo.
Mic drop.
Boo.
So anyway.
Sorry. Yeah, anyway, I know my neighbors. Me, DiCaprio, and J. drop. Boo! Sorry.
Yeah, anyway, I know my neighbors.
Me, DiCaprio, and J. Lo.
1,358.
1,358.
1,358 feet.
Very nice.
How did you find that out?
Did you just look it up?
Yeah.
Or did you?
Sometimes people have it on their watches.
Oh, no.
I looked it up.
OK.
Yeah.
Sometimes a watch will tell you.
That's great.
An Apple watch sometimes tells you.
You really lead us down in very fruitful places.
I think I lead us to many great places.
Yep. I'm a good leader. Like that synonym thing you did. That was really good. What's that? Anyway, oh no, let's not rap yet
You want a synonym for?
We conclude and shoot this thing in the fucking head
Can I talk about can I talk about how my pillow flew into my neighbor's yard?
With from his windstorm and I was too scared to ask them for it back.
Why, you told me this the other day
and I didn't understand why you were so scared.
When was the last time you went to your neighbors
and said, hey, something went over and I need to get it?
I would walk over there, I'd ring the doorbell.
I know both my neighbors and I'd say,
hi, my pillow fell into your backyard
and I need to retrieve it.
Yeah, it doesn't seem that strange.
Why is it weird for me? I just got so scared.
Is it still there?
No, we got it.
I went in after a month of me and Tack going back and forth
about who was gonna go get it.
It's so weird that you guys would be so afraid
to confront your neighbors.
They must be absolute monsters.
They're so nice.
They're such lovely people.
Everyone is so lovely.
You know, the other thing you can do is sneak over there.
Yeah.
Midnight raid.
Oh, Tack thought about it.
But then I was like, what if they see it?
What do you mean? No, you can't sneak into your neighbor's house and get it.
Well, it adds a little bit of thrill to the marriage.
I would. You should both take off your clothes
and jump over the fence and try and call,
it's called grab the night pillow.
It's a sexy game. You can play, you know,
when the spark goes out of the marriage,
take off your clothes with your loved one
and try and steal a pillow from a neighbor's yard.
That's a way to, everybody comes out happy after that one.
Did you guys throw a lot of balls over the yard
at your house when you were growing up?
What?
Like you and your brother,
you and your brothers and your sisters.
You had, there were so many of you.
We didn't have a ball.
We had a tater we tossed around.
All right, we're getting out of here.
We are saying goodbye now
from beautiful Altadena, California. Look it up on a map. It probably won't be much resolution from the satellite photos. You know sometimes when you
get into a remote area, NASA doesn't even shoot pictures anymore. It's north of Pasadena.
It's not on all maps anyway. Yeah, it just starts to come.
It's like that. What's the area with the 57 area?
Area 51?
Area 51?
Area 51, yeah.
It's like the government has blocked out
all images of Altadena.
Anyway, we're here, night is descending
and the coyotes are moving in.
You can hear them.
It's a normal place.
Coyotes moving in.
Raa!
