With its notes of graham cracker, baking spices and vanilla is the perfect
fireside drink for summer nights.

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.
Okay, Summer S'mores, episode five.
Last one, Outdoors.
We're gonna light up our...
Oh, wow, this is cool.
Oh, that is so cool!
Well, you have to explain what's happening.
Matt Gourley made these amazing drinks,
and it's, is this an old fashioned?
Chocolate old fashioned.
It's a chocolate old fashioned.
And I believe it's made with whistle pig whiskey,
which is good stuff.
And then you put a little s'more.
That's a cute little s'more in there.
I had to literally drill these golden grams
with an actual drill.
Oh my God.
To get this match to go through, or else they'd break.
I'm gonna blow this out before.
Yeah. I've never tested this. I'm gonna let as shit. I'm gonna blow this out before, yeah.
I've never tested this.
I'm gonna let mine toast my shit a little.
It's not gonna toast, it's just gonna, you'll see.
It's burning, it's on fire!
Yeah, so it's a little s'more,
that's a cute little s'more there.
So these are two golden grams.
Two golden grams, yeah.
And a mini marshmallow.
I'm gonna eat that, cause that looks,
I'm not a fan of s'mores,
but size makes all the difference and this is a mini
Would you say mine's burnt mine is burnt
Glad I asked what you were saying
That's good mmm, you know what that is a s'more I find acceptable because there's not a lot of marshmallow
Right, and it's also it's just the amount that I want.
I agree.
It's just a little bite.
And when we talked about doing a s'mores cocktail, I didn't want any marshmallow taste in this
drink.
Oh my god.
You okay?
You didn't even have anything to drink yet.
And you're a stumbling, bumbling mess.
I'm just holding it.
I went to throw my match in the solo stove.
Oh that's good. Let's talk about this drink. This is a good drink. What's going on here?
Gorley, and you are quite the mixologist.
No, I'm just a hobbyist. I figure these things out as needed.
Well tell me what went into this concoction.
This is Whistle Pig, that Camp Stock whiskey that they sent us.
That apparently was roasted over a solo stove or something.
Talk about brand-news.
This is a Camp Stove wheat whiskey,
and it's called the smokeless toast,
because it was, yeah, I guess they used a solo stove,
so there was no smoke.
Yeah.
And it's actually a very cool bottle.
That's a cool bottle.
I wanna just lick, there's chocolate on the rim.
I wanna just, is it, can I just lick it?
It's lickable.
Can I ask a question? Was it a strategic, was there a meeting that took place
where everybody was like, let's do the alcohol
in the fifth episode.
Yes.
Okay.
And it wasn't just you.
It wasn't just you.
And guess what, Sona, basically it's like,
it's a version of an intervention.
We're inching towards an intervention.
What kind of intervention gives me alcohol at some point? Next summer is going to be a full on intervention. We're inching towards an intervention. What kind of intervention gives me alcohol at some point?
Next summer is going to be a full-on intervention. Yeah, next summer we're
going to show you a photograph of liquor an hour after the final act. You guys
are terrible at interventions, but I am curious if it was like, guys last year
from the year before and the year before, was a mess.
Yes, wasn't a mess.
Why am I not in those meetings?
Well, let's just say sober heads prevailed.
This one got drunk.
I agree.
I was part of the one saying, I don't wanna do that again.
Oh, okay.
It wasn't you.
This is my house.
I thought we were gonna get fucked up. We still can. It's the last episode. You can, you can go for it. It's the last episode. I am. I to do that again. Oh. It wasn't you. This is my house. I thought we were going to get fucked up.
We still can.
It's the last episode.
You can.
You can go for it.
It's the last episode.
I'm downing this.
This is really good.
Thanks.
It's very good.
It's very tasty.
Now, again, what are the flavors in here?
You said you use the Whistle Stop?
Whistle Pick.
He's already drunk.
Sorry.
It's not.
It's just that it's not a.
So hey, I'm curious. He's already drunk. Sorry, it's not, it's just that it's not a... So, so...
Hey, I'm curious, I'd like to know the ingredients.
We got the Whistle Pig, we've established that.
I like how you retook that as if I'm going to edit that out.
You know what, I trust you to make me look good.
We got the Whistle Pig, wheat whiskey.
What else is in here?
There's some Aztec chocolate bitters, some Trader Vic's
chocolate liqueur, a little bit of Angostura bitters, some simple syrup, and
then one of those Luxardo cherries, but it comes with a little bit of like the
cherry slime, you know? That's pretty good. Um, Sona, just go a little slower.
I did not understand a single ingredient that you just mentioned. You just keep, you just keep, you just keep
guzzling it. You know why I think I like-
It's a sipping drink. It's just a little sip.
But there's so much chocolate in it!
There's so much chocolate. I'm already almost done with this.
Do you see there more?
Aw, hell yeah.
There's a whole decanter on the counter.
You know, when you make a drink and it has this much sugar in it.
It's pretty sweet. Yeah.
I'm not one for- I like sweet fruity drinks,
but I don't love sweet chocolatey drinks
So I think I'm good. I tried to
Mild it up a little this is like it's got what's up? What's going on? So it's so good
It is so this is my favorite drink of all time. Oh my god. So yes. Wow, and you're like an alcoholic
That's really saying that's really saying something. That's like, you know, it's true. It's like
Ted Bundy saying, now this murder tops them all. You know what I mean?
Oh wait, I have a whole stack here. Oh my god, you made me snot.
And wait, what's the cherry? What's special about the cherry? The cherry looks like it's
had some kind of experience. What is it? What happened to the cherry?
What did the cherry go through?
The cherry was in an emotionally abusive relationship
prior to this drink.
And then lost a bunch of money at the track.
Good.
It's just a Luxardo cocktail cherry.
I don't know what that means.
It's just these kind of cherries that they make
that come in this really thick cherry syrup.
So when you put one in, it kind of, the syrup goes like that.
Here's my question, Matt. How do you even know this stuff? Do you look it up online?
I drink a lot.
But when you said, oh it's just a Luxardo gom-gom cherry, that's all it is. I don't even know where you would get that.
At Total Wine and Spirits, any kind of like Bevmo or something.
Bevmo!
You want some more?
Yeah, fill me up. Oh yeah. Give me some more of that.
I don't know, geez, okay.
Hey, we had this crazy idea.
Yeah.
And I didn't know whether we should bring it up, but.
Key party, key party.
Key party, key party.
Ew.
Everyone get your keys in the, huh?
It's only gonna be your keys in the bowl.
Yeah, I gotta put my keys in the bowl,
and then put on a blindfold and reach in,
and you're gonna see me not know that it's my keys,
and I'm gonna pull them out and go, woo!
And then you're gonna see me go off in the woods,
and then the coyotes will attack me.
Attack my excited body, go ahead.
When you guys were at camp, did you ever play Chubby Bunny?
I don't know what that is.
You don't?
I don't know what that is.
Okay, we don't have to do this,
but this was just
an idea that came up when we were discussing
this season.
What happens is everybody takes a marshmallow,
you put it in your mouth and you say the
words chubby bunny.
And then we take turns adding a marshmallow
each time until someone can't say chubby
bunny anymore and they're out.
All right.
Okay.
Can we eat the marshmallow?
You have to keep it in your mouth.
All right. This is the we eat the marshmallow? You have to keep it in your mouth. All right.
This is the game Marlon Brando was playing
when he secured the role for the Godfather.
Can I keep drinking?
Yeah.
Will it dissolve the mud?
Oh no, you can't drink.
You can't drink.
All right.
So Sona's out.
Chubby bunny.
So you can't swallow it, you can't chew it,
you have to keep it in your mouth.
Let me just, hold on.
That's all it does a lot.
Let me stock up.
Never ever heard of this.
You've never heard of this?
No.
God, you grew up in a strange way.
I did.
Yeah.
No, no, I have strange tales and stuff,
but there was no chubby bunny in my background.
Who's played chubby bunny?
Every hand goes up.
Oh my God.
No, Eduardo's gave me the thumbs down.
Never heard of it.
Never played it? Never. Okay. All right. Chubby Bunny. Every hand goes up. Oh my god. No, Eduardo's giving me the thumbs down. Never heard of it.
Never played it?
Never.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
Alright.
Chubby Bunny.
Wait, does that count as you saying Chubby Bunny?
It didn't sound like Chubby Bunny.
Chubby Bunny.
She's out.
She's out.
First of all, you can't articulate things when you're-
Chubby. A bunny. First of all, you can't articulate things when you're... You're not giving in!
Sadness and benging.
You should go on snake order.
Mmm, yeah, snake order.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, you alright, Charlie?
Charlie, don't choke me, guys.
I was gonna throw up!
Okay, wrong!
This game brought to you by Dr. Heimlich.
I was gonna...
I was going to throw up.
I was actually going to throw up.
These are the biggest marshmallows of all time.
This is food.
Come on, girl, stuff it in your mouth, Charlie! These are the biggest marshmallows of all time. This is food.
Come on, girl, stuff it in your mouth, girly. These marshmallows are-
Stop being funny, bitch!
Stop being funny!
Sunday is funny!
Stop being funny! Oh, no! Wait. Sudden... Unborned! Sudden...
Oh no!
Oh god, there's so much spit there, girls!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
That giant mouth!
Sudden...
Unborned! This is so stupid! I just love that you can't talk. Smartass. Four score and 15 gethies.
I just love that you can't talk.
I spotted the fourth one's talking.
And this one is talking.
What is coming up?
This is the thing.
It's so grotesque.
The old man starts making equals.
Are you doing the Gethies Burger dress?
Yes I am.
Which means I win.
Okay, that's it.
Oh, God.
Oh, more napkins.
How'd you guys do more than one?
There's no winners in Chubby, buddy, only losers.
I don't know why.
I have one question.
Yeah.
I developed this fastidious way of talking. There's no winners in Chubby Bunny, only losers. I don't know why.
I have one question.
Yeah.
I developed this fastidious way of talking.
I was going, a chubby, a bunny.
And I wasn't even trying to, but in my effort to over enunciate, it came out as a chubby,
a bunny.
And I wasn't trying to do that.
It's just what happened.
Could you tell it was the Gettysburg Address?
Yeah, I could.
Oh yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
You got, well there you go.
That's how Luka did it.
Also, if there's anything you're reciting,
it's usually the Gettysburg Address.
That's true.
No.
Oh God.
I can do, there's so many things I recite.
That was, so that's a game that you played in camp?
Yeah.
Okay.
Did you guys tell stories? Like ghost stories?
Yeah. But I never went to camp.
Oh, for God's sake.
Wait, what?
Wait, you-
How did you play in camp?
Yeah, when you just said you were gonna play this in camp,
what were you basing it on?
Well-
You're a sad little boy.
I was a sad little boy, it's a true story.
I was, I-
Did you, so how come you didn't go to camp?
I think it was never offered to me. Okay. Hey, bro, your parents were never like, we... Did you, so how come you didn't go to camp? I think it was never offered to me.
Okay, well, your parents were never like, we want to send you away?
No, I think probably they, I bet, I bet they knew that like this kid's not going to make
it through camp.
Oh.
You know?
Like you'd miss your family too much?
Yeah, because here's why, because when I was...
I think the others would set on him.
I think you're right.
Like Lord of the Flies.
When I was an adult in my 20s, I went to teach at an improv theater camp and I
called home the first day going I want to come home. When you were in your 20s? Matt you were in your 20s? I get so
homesick it's ridiculous. You called home? I called my girlfriend at the time going
like I wanted to come I just I don't know I don't take to camp. Oh yeah okay
this was in your 20s and it wasn't even camp it was an improv class probably in I just, I don't know, I don't take to camp. Oh. Yeah. Okay.
And this was in your twenties and it wasn't even camp,
it was an improv class.
Probably in an urban setting.
It was prison.
Yeah.
I loved camp.
Really?
I did, I loved, I had fun at camp.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's where I learned about Chubby Bunny
when I was in twenties.
Oh.
Teaching at camp.
You were in twenties.
Chubby bunny.
That wasn't a camp.
It was not a camp that you went to.
That's the sad part.
I know.
I was a counselor at camp once and my little cousin came and I lost him at the
beach for like 45 minutes.
I thought the ocean took him.
I was really, as both a counselor and as a family member,
I was like, I really shit the bed here.
But wait a minute.
What did you do?
Did you start looking for him?
Or did you immediately?
Everybody started looking for him.
It became like an all hands on, he was only seven
and it was an all hands on deck situation
I was like guys he was there. He's not there. I don't know where he is and then everyone
You know where you went wrong. How why did you take your eye off of him? What happened? I don't know
There were two kids. I had to watch they were both the youngest you only had two
I had two kids because they were like they're the youngest kids. You only had two? I had two kids because they were like, they're the youngest, they need attention,
especially if they're by the beach.
So I turned my head away for a second to look
at the other kid and while I turned around,
my cousin was gone.
They always say that I turned away for a second
and when I turned back.
But I know that if we could go back and look at you,
you started talking to some dude
and doing that face you always used to do
when you were single, when you liked somebody.
I'm not even gonna argue.
You'd make your eyes would get real bright.
Making a spliff?
Rolling up a spliff.
No.
She used to do this face when she thought a waiter was cute.
What's the face?
She would do this big, and she would ask a lot of questions
and her chin would be way up in the air.
And it's pretty good. Yeah, and her chin would be way up in the air. And...
That's pretty good.
Yeah, and she would, yeah.
You're always a couple of drinks in at that point.
Yeah.
Where was the child?
He was playing in the sand underneath a lifeguard tower.
There were two areas.
There was the area where everybody was,
and then we all would go down to the beach,
and there were just two areas.
He wasn't in any of them.
He was seven.
You just turned your head for a second, so how could you areas. He wasn't in any of them. He was seven. I was like-
You just turned your head for a second,
so how could you have gotten that far?
The ocean took him.
I thought it.
I thought the ocean took him.
But the ocean didn't take him.
No, but it could have.
And then, because he was out in the sun for so long,
he got heat stroke.
And then, so he was like a disaster.
What a great camp this was.
How did you, did you have to have any, any
qualifications? No, we were like 17, 18 years old. We were kids in charge of
other kids. You had a flashback. I was a camp counselor in Dedham, Massachusetts
at the Dedham Community Center. And I'm having a strong moment right now because
very recently I was with my brother Neil and we were driving around
and we were driving through Dedham and I realized, hey, I think we're near where I used to be
a camp counselor and we drove by the Dedham Community Center. And so I, it's been years.
I mean, it's been, I don't know if it's been 45 years or something since I've been there.
This got quiet like you're telling us a ghost story.
No, it's true. But I'm serious, I had this moment just now thinking,
oh right, I just did this and I passed
and I looked at the place and I remembered that
the guy who ran the camp thought I was a CIT,
you know, I was a counselor,
and I was in charge of like these eight-year-olds
and I remember this one guy that ran the camp
was like, you're pretty funny, you're pretty funny, and then I this one guy that ran the camp was like you're pretty funny,
you're pretty funny and then I remembered one year he said I want you, I got this funny,
it's the 4th of July, you're a funny guy, you just always make people laugh.
I have an Uncle Sam costume I bought, put it on and I'll have you perform for all the
kids and I wasn't thinking, I was, you know, I'll have you perform for all the kids and I'm not I wasn't thinking I was you know
I don't know what I was I was
16 17 and
Someone's telling me to do this so I I was
Reluctant, but I put on this uncle Sam costume and he had assembled all the kids in camp and I came out and I was like
Hey, everybody. I'm uncle Sam and I
bombed
Like you cannot imagine.
And I was dressed as Uncle Sam,
and I'm in this, I'll never forget,
I'm in this like, standing next to this big dead lawn
in Dedham, right near the courthouse
where Sokka and Vansetti were tried.
And I'm dressed as Uncle Sam in a shitty Uncle Sam costume that probably cost two dollars and the beard's coming off. The kids, I
had not, I had put no thought into it because the counselor just thought
you're funny so go be funny and it was a disaster. Conan, two things, this is first
why I never went to camp, something like that. It's a war crime. Two, do you realize
you have two Uncle Sam sad stories? Remember we
covered this and we got that Halloween costume. I know my mom got me that caught that Uncle Sam
costume. I know and yet I love my country. America has done you wrong. No but I love my country but I do that was the
second. And also what was he thinking that a guy with no preparation who's 16 years old who's yeah
he's kind of funny can just put on an Uncle Sam costume, impromptu,
and get up in front of a bunch of kids
at a low rent day camp and make them laugh.
And you knew you bombed,
because even sometimes at that age,
you talk yourself into thinking like,
oh, well, that was fun, I got to perform.
Oh no, I'm quite aware when something I've done
has not worked, and this was an absolute bomb,
and I remembered even the guy was like,
what the fuck was that?
And I'm like, you just told me.
You found.
Like he paid you.
Yeah, like.
Like he hired you.
Yeah, you double as like a cab driver
when you're not running this decrepit cab.
You're a cab driver.
You found this costume in a trunk.
You made me wear it.
Which is, you know.
Yeah. So I did. And it was awful is, you know, yeah.
So I did, and it was awful.
And I just was there.
Oh my God.
And now here I am in Altadena, drinking a chocolate whistle
pig whiskey drink and recounting this terrible memory from my childhood.

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.

L.L. Bean's clothing accessories are staples all year round, like the classic
L.L. 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 L.L. Bean's
campsite organizer. You ever use one of those? L.L. 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
tents, grilling tools, and more.
It's perfect anywhere you want to 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 wanna keep the hot hot and the cold cold. I like it, cause 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 to Dena,
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 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.

Outside together since 1912.
Here's my question, because you always talk about you were a counselor at camp.
Were you ever a camper at camp?
Mm hmm.
Okay. Remember he got his legs fried by the metal boat? No, but that was when you were a counselor at camp. Were you ever a camper at camp? Mm-hmm. Okay.
Remember when you got his legs fried by the metal boat?
No, but that was when you were a counselor.
No. I thought.
No, no, that was when I was a camper.
Were you the cool counselor or were you the rules guy?
Were you like, guys, we have to line up.
No, I was not.
It's time to line up, everybody.
Lights out, everyone.
Hey, guys, lights out.
No, I was unscrewed.
It was 8 p.m., everyone.
I would say I was neither.
Or neither, whichever you prefer.
I was not, I didn't, I really didn't like it,
but it's a job, but I met one of those guys
that just realized I loved it.
Seven and eight year olds, that's a tough age.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, I mean she was just sending them out
in the ocean on a raft.
Yeah, I love the end of that story is probably we never found him.
Oh.
No, it's okay.
No, we found him.
He's cool.
My cousin.
I don't think I was either one.
I was not a cool, I know what a cool counselor's like and I was not one.
But I don't think I was a bad one either.
I just think I was a guy who was doing time, trying to move up the rung.
Did you ever have a kid kind of want to be your,
like have you as a mentor that kind of attached
it themselves to you, you know, like in meatballs?
No. I mean, I think of you that way, man.
That I attach myself to you?
Yeah, I think, yeah, I think of you as my young liege,
you know?
Oh, I'm fucked.
No, I don't. I never had that, no.
I could see some little squirt just kinda coming up
and going, hey, this is my guy.
I'm gonna learn from him, you know?
Yeah, I don't think so.
You're barking up the wrong tree.
This is just getting sad now.
Hey, Conan, didn't you ever throw a pass
and win the big game?
No, I didn't.
Didn't someone look up to you?
Conan, did someone ever tell you
they loved you unconditionally?
No, no, no they didn't. Hey, Conan, do you remember a moment where you just felt real bliss and at ease? No, no, no they didn't.
Hey Conan, do you remember a moment
where you just felt real bliss and at ease with yourself?
No, no I didn't.
Hey Conan, do you ever just think
your life's been worthwhile?
No, no I didn't.
Hey Conan, do you ever just sort of look around
and think it's good that I was born?
No, no I haven't.
Hey Conan, Conan.
Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror
and think he's not so bad looking?
No, no I haven't.
This is really good.
I am nursing this like you wouldn't believe.
Why are you nursing it?
Because I have half a lung.
People can go to Coco's socials.
Already?
Already?
Me too though a little bit.
So if you guys had your meetings and you thought,
oh, we're gonna stop ourselves this year
from Sona being so drunk.
Well, also Sona.
Fuck all of you.
Cause guess what?
Sona and I got together in pregame.
I am wasted already.
And it's because I know what to do
when there's a thing in my cup.
Fuck all of you guys for having
meetings behind my back you know I love best of all you're sitting on a half
feet in Marshmallow.
It's stuck to my pants.
Look at her.
Oh my god.
It's stuck to my pants.
Yeah you've got Marshmallow on your pants too buddy.
That's not marshmallow.
Ha ha ha!
Dun dun dun dun dun!
Tent pitched.
What was I supposed to say?
Will you say it?
You say it, Rue.
I can do it.
Ruthie!
I'm sober as a judge.
Go to Team Coco Socials for the recipe.
What, for this drink?
Yeah, check out Team Coco on Instagram.
Okay.
And this is a great drink, you should check it out.
But you should drink it a little more responsibly than Sona.
I'm at my house.
I improvised this one a little, I'm gonna have to get the formula down.
Okay, you're gonna know this.
Yeah.
In, because you're a Bond guy.
In...
Why wouldn't I know it?
In Casino Royale, what's the drink he improvises? What's the recipe?
Oh, it's Gordon's gin, vodka,
Kina Lillet, which they don't make anymore,
and a little twist of lemon.
I knew he'd know that.
Now ask me something you know I'm gonna know.
Okay.
What's my favorite thing Conan ever did?
What year was Richard Nixon born in?
What caliber of...
That's a good one. I actually don't, well, I'm gonna work here.
Nixon is, I think, a little older.
JFK is born in 1917.
Nixon's a little older than JFK, I believe.
That's a good one.
Earlier, you knew exactly when Ronald Reagan was born.
Yeah, some dates.
Why do you know some and some you don't know some?
You know, how do you, I can't say.
What caliber of bullet was Lincoln shot with?
I'm gonna, hold on, I'm gonna say 1914.
Oh, Eduardo.
No, I didn't see him, I said 14.
I'm gonna say 1913.
It's 1913, January 9th.
I was gonna say 1913.
That's what I was gonna say 1913. It's 1913, January 9th. I was gonna say 1913.
That's what I was gonna say.
Yeah, this part's gotta come out.
I was gonna say, I was gonna say,
if he's a year older. Not because anyone's wrong,
but just because it's just awful.
No, because you didn't know it
and you don't want people to know.
These two people guessed Newton's birth date.
You saw Eduardo give you the answer you create.
I didn't see that.
Gorrals asked what caliber bullet Lincoln was shot with.
It's not really a caliber.
This made bullets out of a mold,
rather large bullet by today's standards.
It's not really rifled at all.
Didn't have to be because it was shot at such,
in three inches from the left ear.
I have a quick question.
Yeah, what's up?
How's the end of the summer s'mores series going this year?
This is the last year we're doing this, I think.
Oh, I don't think so.
What are you talking about?
We gotta go to his backyard.
Yeah, we do.
And you know what we're gonna do next year?
Gummies.
Oh, hell yeah.
I've been waiting for the gummy year.
Come on, we should.
And then we all sleep there and do a slumber party.
I'm gonna embarrass you when we go to your house.
Well, you have.
It's called your engagement party.
Oh. Um. That was fun. We had a good time, right? We did. When we go to your house. Well, you have. It's called your engagement party.
That was fun.
We had a good time, right? We did.
That was really nice.
People still talk about that.
That was a good party.
That was really nice of you to do.
I loved that.
Well, I don't think you were in the picture yet, but.
No, but you could have pre-invited me.
You're right.
That's true.
I don't think you were alive yet.
It was a long time ago.
No, we should do it.
Will we do it in my backyard next year?
Again, I just have to clear it with various celebrities
and various potentates, CEOs, CFOs.
You know, it's a very, it's a very...
Ugh.
We'll wear, we'll wear disguises when we come in.
No, it's not gonna work.
I'm gonna go to your house.
I'm gonna talk about how hard it was to get there.
I'm gonna be like, oh my God, I take this freeway
and that freeway and I had to change my currency. And you're gonna be like, Hey,
this is where I go all the time. This isn't that far. And that's my life.
No, no, no. Listen, if we do it in my backyard, I'm not going to be there.
It's going to be an, a lookalike, a Conan lookalike.
And he's going to be wearing an earpiece and saying what I tell him to say.
And I'm going to be up in my room getting a rub down. Okay. Oh, I'd love that. And he's gonna be wearing an earpiece and saying what I tell him to say, and I'm gonna be up in my room getting a rubdown, okay?
No, legit.
Okay, you said, no, who says rubdown?
No, no, I'm not gonna.
The only person that says rubdown.
That's sexual.
Is a real Epstein.
No.
Oh, Jesus, Matthew.
He meets Theo Epstein,
the former general manager of the Red Sox.
The, um.
Sweat hog.
You only get better when you drink.
Epstein.
Is Epstein the oh, oh, oh?
No, that's horse shack.
Oh, that's horse shack.
Guys.
Which one was Epstein?
He was. The jacket.
Yeah.
This is, okay, you brought up Ron Polillo
on a podcast recently, so.
I hate it when you take this like position of like.
I know, this mole high ground.
Yeah, you brought up the fucking Lord guy from the Lord guy old show Jack Lord Hawaii five. Oh, no, that was okay
No one talks about that guy anymore. Well, I'm gonna Google him. I don't think you're gonna do anything
I don't think you can find your phone. That's a bar of soap. That's not your phone
Listen I want to try and clear
up some of the some I want to say there's some dry brush here what that
needs clearing out okay okay let's close on this I think we've had a wonderful
time here and and what I was trying to paint a picture of is next year we do
this in my yard okay and it might be a funny bit if I'm not there with you guys
we get an we get an actor and listen he's wearing an earpiece and I'm not there with you guys, we get an actor.
And listen, he's wearing an earpiece
and I'm up in my room and I'm getting like a massage.
And that's what I was going for.
I said rub down, but I'm not some guy
that goes to a rub and tug joint.
You stuttered like maybe you have.
I just love the phrase rub and tug joint.
But I'm upstairs in my room
and I'm occasionally telling the actor things to say.
And I have like all these delicacies
and things up in my room.
Isn't that kind of a funny idea?
I think the better idea is we do it at your house.
It's the three of us, but you're in an Uncle Sam costume.
Oh no.
Can I also say, listen, I'm being very serious.
When we go to your house,
can we go to where you know famous people live
and can we knock on the door and say,
hey, my pillow flew over in your yard.
Can I go grab it?
Because there's so many famous people that live near you.
So I just wanna make sure it's full.
The level of security they had,
when you went to get, when you retrieve the pillow,
it would be riddled with bullet holes.
The minute a pillow blows into one of those yards.
It's immediately set upon by dogs and then shot.
So yeah, I don't know.
Isn't it sad that this is, we gotta wrap this up?
I actually, I'm having fun.
Me too, I just started having fun.
That's called alcohol.
I know, why did we wait till this late?
Why?
I think you're right.
Because I think it's smart.
Because when you go back and look at the tape, you will understand why we waited till the
last episode.
Let me rewind.
Let's rewind it.
Yeah.
Let's rewind the tape.
And then...
You know what you are?
You're my chill chum.
You're my chill chum.
Eat tea fingers.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Expulsion from paradise.
God and Adam.
Friends forever.
Forever. I eat tea fingers. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Expulsion from paradise. God and Adam.
Friends forever.
Forever.
Forever.
Turn on your hot light.
Do you remember that Neil Diamond song?
My question is this.
Did I bring you guys up to my level
or did I go down to your level?
You came down.
I came down.
You came down to the basement.
I came way down.
I came way down.
And you were waiting for us.
I came down to the basement and then dug a hole.
Remember when we heard those coyotes?
Oh yeah.
That was scary.
Kill that animal?
Yeah.
That was insane.
If it was an animal.
That's nature.
We don't know what they found.
And nurture.
Come on.
It was like a break.
You'd be right.
No, sometimes if you say something like that,
if people aren't really thinking,
people think you said something profound.
I mean, I just blew it.
But if I had said, and nurture, well, that's our time.
There'd be some people listening,
be like, man, Conan nailed it.
Not a single person, I don't think.
I don't think a single person would think
that was profound.
I think they would see right through that.
And do you miss saying, we'll be right back?
I do, I do it in just normal conversations all the time.
That's so weird.
I do it with my wife, I do it with Liza. No. I do. I do it in just normal conversations all the time now. That's so weird.
I do it with my wife.
I do it with Liza.
No.
I do, yeah.
What do you mean?
She says like, we're gonna be empty nesters next year.
And she says, I don't know,
that's bringing up a lot of feelings.
And I say, yeah, we'll take a break.
We'll be right back.
No Conan.
That's abuse.
That's a real feeling she's saying.
I know, but I don't wanna deal with it.
And you know what's really weird?
A commercial starts to come on in my head.
And usually for not a great product.
Usually because the program in my mind
isn't selling for that much, it's usually not a good,
you know, it's like, if you think you have mesothelioma.
Gosh.
Wow, that's a daytime thing.
I know.
It's a daytime thing.
What's the deal?
Yeah.
I know we should have wrapped hours ago,
but let's talk about mesothelioma
What what is with the people who have that well?
What is the what is the settlement that's gonna happen and maybe I have mesothelioma?
No, okay, they get it from asbestos. Is it?
Yes, I Is it? Is it? Is it? Yes. As a... You don't even have to drive home.
I've had a wonderful time.
That's why I downed you.
You're an Altadena.
That should be it for you there, goggles.
And then I think maybe you should go night nighttime.
Yeah, I'm gonna go night nighttime.
Yeah.
I'm trying to get this cherry.
You're gonna sleep in that chair.
Try that cherry.
I think Tack's gonna look out his window
and see a figure in a chair tonight,
but it's gonna be Sona.
I'm gonna be like this.
Yeah. He's gonna be like again.
Well, that was this year's episode of Chill Chumps.
Will there be one next year? Will there be a next year?
There's so much we don't know. But what we do know
is that real friendships last.
Whether you're gathered in Altadena
or Pasadena or a place that's sort of closer to civilization.
As long as you have a good drink and good friends, good memories of having to wear an
Uncle Sam costume, entertaining an entire camp with no preparation and totally bombing.
There's no preparation.
I hope that if there's a heaven that I get to die and go up and just see 16
millimeter footage of that.
You know, I'm with, you know what, I'm with girls.
Yeah.
I will say you put so much thought and effort into all the events that you do.
I have never seen you bomb, bomb.
I would love to see you bomb and just be like so uncomfortable.
I think that's a good, that's a good character building thing, I think for you.
Have you bombed since then?
Cause I imagine that that scarred you so much that you found a way to like pre
to naturally avoid bombing.
Like you just, you have a kind of mind.
Anybody's always 30 seconds away from bombing potentially.
What a way to live.
What a way to live.
I will say my favorite thing is when you make a joke you're proud of and no one laughs.
I know it's funny because it never happens.
It's like saying I love seeing a Humpalupagus.
Who?
What?
A Humpalupagus.
You mean Snuffleupagus?
No, I just made up an animal that doesn't exist.
No, you messed up an animal.
No, I didn't try to say Snuffleupagus.
You sure did.
You tried to say Snuffleupagus.
No, I didn't.
Yes, you did.
I did not try to say snuffle up again.
What is a huffle up again?
I just tried to make up an animal.
No, that's not a thing.
You tried to do that.
You would never do that.
Because you would go with something that works.
And you didn't go with anything that worked.
You bombed.
You bombed.
You bombed.
You bombed Uncle Sam.
Democracy's over.
I'm going to say something about five minutes ago,
I cast my gaze around the room
and I saw Ruthie checking out.
And Ruthie is the biggest fan of what we do.
And Ruthie was looking like,
okay, it's time to, let's call it.
And that was five minutes ago.
And you guys are drunkenly saying,
you meant snuffle up against not humphala-lump-a-lous.
We got you this time.
Like you just cracked the biggest case of all time.
We perry-mazing you.
So this has to stop and I'm gonna stop it.
Good night, chill chums.
It was good seeing you.
Thanks for having us to your home.
Oh, thank you, you're welcome.
Yeah, well, not inside in the yard.
Oh.
And-
Been inside. Didn't really offer me anything to eat. And thank you all yard. Oh. And, um. Been inside.
Didn't really offer me anything to eat.
And thank you all.
There's so much, do not do that.
There's so much food there.
Thank you, Eduardo.
Thank you.
Ruthie, Sam, the whole team, Blay,
Chills, I know you're out there somewhere.
Adam figuring out a way to have this all work for marketing.
You know, our devoted team. You know, Eduardo, of course, always has my back.
David drove me here in a car that's, I can't describe to you how small this car is.
If you imagine, imagine a container for one Oreo cookie and then-
Ruthie is literally looking at her watch.
Can we finish this? There's Tanisha.
There's Josh, there's Mikey.
And then there's John Rau.
Yep.
Yoder.
Oh wait, Mikey is right there. Yoder, Rachel Yoder. There's a cool crew here.
Good night everybody, and remember, if you love us, we love you more.
