Speaker 1 The LL Bean flannel has been part of the holiday for over a century. Cozy, reliable, and made to last.

Speaker 1 It's the shirt you wear when you pick out your tree and when you're home relaxing with a warm cup of cocoa.

Speaker 1 And it's the one you wore in the family photo where somehow everyone's matching without even trying.

Speaker 1 These shirts, these flannels from LL Bean have been around for a long time. Yeah, they have.
They've been around from the olden days. I'm going to go churn some butter, but first, my LL Bean flannel.

Speaker 1 Oh no, President McKinley has been wounded.

Speaker 1 Anyway, these have been around a long time. They're great for the holidays.
You got to get them. Go check out LL Bean Flannel.
Invited to the holidays since 1912.

Speaker 2 Conan O'Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit teamcoco.com slash call Conan.
Okay, let's get started.

Speaker 1 Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan. Now,

Speaker 1 these drop. That's what the kids say, on Wednesdays.

Speaker 1 What's that? Thursday. Thursday.
So I don't get out much. Do you go out to get your podcasts? Is that what you do?

Speaker 1 We're doing something a little different today.

Speaker 1 Sometimes in this slot, I talk to a fan, but

Speaker 1 we had a different notion in mind. In fact, I did.
Yeah, this is you. This is me.
This comes from me. You know, I like to run a tight ship.

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 like to make sure that. No, I'm serious.
I'm at the helm of a powerful company, an industry, really, Team Coco. And

Speaker 1 I am constantly looking for ways to improve the the efficiency.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of muskian almost. No, you don't think that's a good question.
Did I go the wrong way? Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'll think of a better way. Every term of the musk, you're not the muskian.
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 Okay, that was the wrong way to go.

Speaker 1 I think of myself as sort of,

Speaker 1 I don't know, Santa, Santa, walking through the workshop, making sure that all of the elves are hard at work making the toys. No.
No? No closer.

Speaker 2 This is the furthest thing from a tight ship I think I can think of. Really? If this was the North Pole and you were Santa, there would be no Christmas.

Speaker 1 Right. Have you ever seen Ghost Ship where everybody gets bisected by a metal cable? That's kind of what this is.
I have not seen the whole movie completely. And now, and guess what?

Speaker 1 Now I don't have to see it. You just totally ruined the whole movie.
That's how the movie opens. Oh.
The movie opens with that? It's the best movie.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I watch most movies thinking, I wonder if anyone gets bisected by a cable. It's a whole party full of people.
It gets bisected by a cable. And what happens? The boat goes underneath the cable?

Speaker 1 It's like, no, it's some line on the ship that gets broken, and then like 50 people at a 1920s party just get severed in half, and that becomes the ghost ship. You know what?

Speaker 1 This is proof that I don't run a tight ship because I just let you bibble and babble on about ghost ship, and you use the word bisect like nine times.

Speaker 2 Do you think this is how Santa treats his elves?

Speaker 1 I think these fucking elves should get their asses in here.

Speaker 2 I think he's a jolly man.

Speaker 1 He seems nice. You know what? If I ran the North Pole, those toys would get out on time.
There wouldn't be any complaints.

Speaker 1 Most kids would get coal, even the good kids. And by the way, coal is worth more, you know, these days.
It's true.

Speaker 1 No, it's not. What? What are you talking about? Coal? Yeah, coal.
Okay. It's a source of petrol.

Speaker 1 Anyhoots,

Speaker 1 I had a purpose in doing this, which is I've been irritated by something recently. I've noticed that there's a flaw in our system.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 When we have guests on the show, and we have some pretty big names come here, we do a very nice thing, which is we put out this basket of treats for them.

Speaker 1 Lately, I've been looking, and there's a nice little sign on the basket of treats that says, Welcome, and then celebrity. That's very thoughtful.
Yeah, it is very celebrating.

Speaker 1 If Will Ferrell here, it's like, welcome, Will. You know, well, whatever.

Speaker 1 It's a nice thing. It's very friendly.
And it's all put together by Maddie Ogden, who's our talent coordinator. And she does a great job of making sure that everyone's very well taken care of.

Speaker 1 But lately, I've been just looking at the basket, and the basket is an abomination. Oh, I mean, it's a it's an it's a crime.

Speaker 1 It is packed with all this aggressively healthy eco snacks. And I,

Speaker 1 first of all, I'm noticing not a lot of people are taking the baskets. I don't think anybody takes the baskets.

Speaker 1 And it used to be filled with really fun things like, oh, a chocolate-covered pretzel, and here's some raisinettes, and here's some this and that.

Speaker 1 Lately, I don't know what's going on, but I want to get Maddie Ogden in here if she's in the building. Wow.
Disagree. I want to find out what's going on.

Speaker 1 And let's, do you have any exhibit A's? I have, yeah, I have some exhibits here. And so let's get Maddie here.
Maddie, I hope. Come on in, Maddie.
Have a good day. Maddie.

Speaker 1 Maddie, I just want to say Sona and I have your back

Speaker 1 at all times. We really do.
Well, a lot of good they'll do you because they don't carry the weight that I have.

Speaker 1 Maddie, one of the things that I've noticed recently is that, and I guess you choose these snacks, is that it got aggressive. It got real aggressive.

Speaker 1 For example, I'm going to put on the old specs here.

Speaker 1 Gimme, roasted seaweed snacks. Toasted sesame, roasted to like crispy perfection.
So literally, shit that washes up on the beach

Speaker 1 and dries, you're giving.

Speaker 1 There's two of them. Yeah, there's two.
Oh, in case you finish one.

Speaker 1 No, no,

Speaker 1 one is toasted sesame, the other's teriyaki. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Why don't you throw some barnacles in here while you're at it? Bernard Herzog loved those. Oh, thank you.

Speaker 2 So maybe you just don't have as classy of taste.

Speaker 1 Bernard Herzog is also a pain artist. Bernard Herzog is someone who loves going into the South African jungle and like almost dying.

Speaker 1 He's someone who loves dying and death and madness. He's a guy who's famously almost killed people he's worked with and has almost died himself making his movies.
So don't say Werner Herzog loves it.

Speaker 1 That's like, oh, the Adams family loves this.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. They loved it.
Oh, Jesus. Oh, here's more.
There's Tempura Seaweed Snacks by Nora. I don't even know, and it's a weird shape.
It looks like a satanic shape.

Speaker 1 Satanic? Yeah,

Speaker 1 this does not look good.

Speaker 1 Oh, and there's something else.

Speaker 1 There's one thing that isn't in here that was in here for a while, and I think you got scared and stopped because you noticed that I was complaining, which is mushroom jerky.

Speaker 1 We knew you were going to say that.

Speaker 1 Why were you putting mushroom jerky?

Speaker 1 I would, if you put a 44 magnum to my skull, I would not take a bite.

Speaker 1 I would not take a bite of mushroom jerky. And you were handing it to our guests, and then you wonder why suddenly all the A-listers dropped out?

Speaker 1 Where do you even get mushroom jerky?

Speaker 2 At the snack aisle in Gelson's. And I do have a story, and that's when Bill Hayter came back for the third time.
He picked up the mushroom jerky, and he said, Is this a prank? Is this a prank?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm on Bill's side. Bill's a valued guest.
Let's see what else we got here.

Speaker 1 Island style. Well, I'd think like, oh, good.
I guess these are potato chips, but they're handy. I'm one of those.
Yeah, Rusty's chips. They're island style.

Speaker 1 That doesn't look like any potato chip I've ever seen in in my life. It's good, though.
They look kind of saturated with oil or something. No, it says no trans fats, no saturated fat, no cholesterol.

Speaker 1 Oh, here it says no joy.

Speaker 1 Now joy-free. Good job, Rusty.
You took everyone's favorite unhealthy snack and turned it into something nobody wants. We should be trying some of these.
I know you're not supposed to eat on podcasts.

Speaker 2 I just, I heard RFK Jr. said that joy was inflammatory, so really I'm just looking out for everyone.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, if you're going to work in your little political jabs, you know, I didn't realize, oh, here's some good crunchy giant inca corn.

Speaker 1 And there's a picture of a female athlete climbing up the side of it. You're going to say a female something else corn nuts.
No, it's, it's, no, they're not corn nuts. It's crunchy giant inca corn.

Speaker 1 It looks like a vagina.

Speaker 1 This looks like a vagina. And in the ear.

Speaker 1 No. I don't know.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think people are health conscious.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 And they want healthy snacks.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no. That's their choice.
This is our gift to them. So if you gift somebody, what are you eating over there? Just a skinny dipped dark chocolate peanut butter.

Speaker 1 Oh, you found the one thing that was edible in there. Oh, good.

Speaker 1 Go crazy with banana.

Speaker 1 All-natural banana walnuts.

Speaker 2 Sarah Silverman took those enthusiastically yesterday.

Speaker 1 Do you realize she's homeless? Sarah Silverman is homeless. When we found her for the podcast, she was reaching into a garbage can to eat half a hot dog.
And I said, you want to come do the podcast?

Speaker 1 And she said, is there anything there to eat? I'll eat anything. And I said, would you eat banana walnuts? And she said, yeah, I guess so.
I'm so cold and so hungry.

Speaker 1 So, I mean, this is, this is a war crime, what's going on here. GFB gluten-free brothers.
Oh, I love the gluten-free brothers. When I want to have a good time, I hang with the gluten-free.

Speaker 1 Hey, are the gluten-free brothers in town? Let's have a party.

Speaker 1 Did something happen to you as a child? Is this, are you angry about something? What's going on? Why would you do this to people? It's just, you know, I have this boss and he's really critical.

Speaker 1 Ah, that's true.

Speaker 2 Do you think that you have the taste buds of like a young teenage boy, though, Conan? Like, I think you just want like...

Speaker 1 Would you guys admit anybody, does anybody see kind of what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Eduardo, would you like to speak up? I'll just say I was convinced that maybe this was Maddie's tactic to keep us away from not touching the guests. Christ!

Speaker 1 Christ!

Speaker 2 Okay, so Eduardo is onto something there.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 so the thing is,

Speaker 2 I love putting out the snack basket, okay? Snacks are my love language.

Speaker 2 And while I'm flattered, a lot of other people in the office began also enjoying the snack basket, which is fine.

Speaker 2 But it got to the point where the guest would be two minutes away and there would be six opened containers in the basket.

Speaker 2 And, you know, apart from Sarah Silverman, apparently, our guests are classy people. I want a good presentation.
And so sometimes I would have to scramble.

Speaker 2 And, you know, like, I don't like greeting the guests when I'm scrambled.

Speaker 1 I prefer to not be sweaty. Listen, listen, Maddie, Maddie, Maddie.
I don't want you.

Speaker 1 I don't want you at all to be on the I don't want you to all be at all be on the defensive. Okay.
But if snack,

Speaker 1 but listen,

Speaker 1 you just attacked her for 10 minutes listen

Speaker 1 I don't know why you're being so defensive

Speaker 1 By the way, let's continue with the Nuremberg trial

Speaker 1 Maddie if snacks are your love language you are filled with hate

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 just

Speaker 1 awful what you're doing and yes, I agree with you that I understand your tactic that yes would you you're just chomping away these are I can't see them

Speaker 1 You just knocked both of the gluten-free brothers on the floor.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I knocked out both gluten-free brothers with one mighty back-handed blow.

Speaker 1 Here, have some teriyaki chips.

Speaker 1 Here,

Speaker 1 why don't you eat this highlighter while you're at it?

Speaker 1 I hear it's free of electrolytes.

Speaker 1 With the U.S. Bank's Split World MasterCard, all purchases are automatically divided into three payments and placed in a payment plan to be paid back over three months.

Speaker 1 That's a nice little buffer zone. Yeah.
If you're looking for additional flexibility, you can extend your plan to six or 12 months with equal monthly payments for a low monthly fee.

Speaker 1 So whether it's concert tickets, a new sofa, or an unexpected vet bill, pay later on every purchase with the U.S. bank split card.
Why do they always say an unexpected vet bill?

Speaker 1 There are expected vet bills. Well, I got my golden retriever a facelift.
We talked about it for a year.

Speaker 1 He was very unhappy. He wasn't doing well on on social media.
So we had a little to nip and tuck. Yeah, it was a good time.

Speaker 1 No, I've never had that. It was a good time.
I never did that.

Speaker 1 Animals never had a facelift in my home. That's one thing where I will draw the line.
No facelifts for dogs in my home. Cats, on the other hand, need all the help they can get.
I lost my mind.

Speaker 1 Learn more at usbank.com slash split card. The creditor and issuer of this card is US Bank National Association, pursuant to a license from MasterCard International, Incorporated.

Speaker 1 Some restrictions may apply.

Speaker 1 I'm sure a lot of you out there are plain Coca-Cola people, and that's respectable. Trust me, I'm one.
Yes, I am. You've many times seen me just, I like to order just a regular Coca-Cola.
I really do.

Speaker 1 I really do. But if you haven't tried a Coca-Cola from Sonic, now is your chance because right now it's completely free with any purchase.

Speaker 1 Now, if you're a regular Joe, you're thinking to yourself, I can get a Coca-Cola from anywhere, Conan. Why would I go to Sonic? Well, I'm going to tell you.

Speaker 1 Sonic has all the flavors and add-ins to make the perfect Coca-Cola for you. I'm talking strawberry, cherries, coconuts, sweet cream, jalapenos.

Speaker 1 Second of all, let me say this again. It's free.
But I like an add-in. I like to have a little flavor.
And you know what? Coconut in your Coca-Cola is delicious. It really is.

Speaker 1 So create a Coke your way, any size, any flavor, free with any purchase in the Sonic app for a limited time. Live free.
Eat Sonic.

Speaker 1 Macy's has a new parade this year, a parade of deals.

Speaker 1 So if you're standing on the street waiting for that parade to go by, because you took this literally, you're going to be wasting your time. Wake up, kids.
It's a parade. Where is it?

Speaker 1 A parade of deals. What?

Speaker 1 Kid crying. Every day from now through November 27th, Macy's is featuring a new must-have deal that will last only one day.

Speaker 1 We're talking about daily deals on things you'll love, like a super cozy UG fluff throw. Hey, try and say that.

Speaker 1 An upgraded Dyson vacuum. That's nice.
And some of your favorite fragrancies, hair products, jewelries, too. Oh, and don't forget, Black Friday deals start November 10th.

Speaker 1 So remember, this isn't a real parade. It's a parade of deals.
I was fooled. Don't bring a balloon and get all excited.
Your daily thrill starts now. Shop now at Macy's.com or in store.

Speaker 1 You never know.

Speaker 1 Just like it takes just a little courage to send that text to grab coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while, reaching out for therapy can feel difficult too, but it can really be worth it.

Speaker 1 Maddie,

Speaker 1 here's the problem.

Speaker 1 Yes, you have identified a real problem, which is that this little podcast studio that we run, this Team Cocoa world, is just a ship filled with rats that need to be bisected, by the way.

Speaker 1 And it's sad.

Speaker 1 It's sad that when you put out some snacks, all these well-paid employees hover around and jump on them and then just start gobbling them. They're rodents.

Speaker 1 Everyone who works here is a rodent.

Speaker 2 They're good snacks. That's why people want them.

Speaker 1 When they're in a basket that says, this is for Woody Harrelson. And then when you see a basket that says food for Woody Harrelson or welcome Harrison Ford,

Speaker 1 a well-educated, nice, well-bred person doesn't jump on it and start snurfing it down, especially when an icon's coming up the stairs. Also, we have a whole cabinet full of other snacks.
Yes,

Speaker 1 there's no mushroom jerky in there, and I've been looking.

Speaker 1 Did you realize mushroom jerky isn't even manufactured? It's a byproduct of other food that went bad. It's other food that went bad and turned into mushroom jerky.

Speaker 1 And then they just put a package around that. That's what mushroom jerky is.
I'm going to tell you this right now. This has got to stop.
We've got to stop. And I have have your back.

Speaker 1 If these rodents, these rats are getting into the snacks, see, what you're doing is, oh, I don't, there's this food and I don't want these dogs to eat the food that I'm going to put out.

Speaker 1 So I'm going to pour kerosene all over it. And then you're shocked that people come to your nice brunch and no one's eating the food.
And you're saying, well, what's the problem?

Speaker 1 Well, it tastes like kerosene. I know.
I put kerosene on it to keep the dogs away. What's your problem? Well, that's essentially what you're doing.
Mushroom jerky,

Speaker 1 you know, these gom gam chips, tempura flavored chip chops, inca corn that looks like a vag.

Speaker 1 You know, you've got the gluten-free brothers. You've got

Speaker 1 mushroom, you know, jerky. It's just a mess.
It's a mess and it's got to stop. People want Doritos.
They want Oreos. They want food that's good for you.

Speaker 2 Food that's good for you. Doritos and Oreos.
These are people who care about their bodies. She's getting them snacks they probably already eat anyway, right?

Speaker 1 Is it possible that you would enjoy the seaweed if you tried it? Try it. Yeah, try it.
Try the seaweed. And is it possible that we start kind of tailoring it to what we think the guests would like?

Speaker 1 Because this all seems very Woody Harrelson to me, but not necessarily. Oh, this is awful.
Oh, come on.

Speaker 1 I'm not kidding. This tastes like the ocean.
The last time I had this taste in my mouth was when I almost drowned in summer camp, Craig Craig at Mountain Farm, 1975. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 That's just this is awful.

Speaker 2 Can I just say I've had this exact night before?

Speaker 1 God damn it.

Speaker 1 Get this out of my mouth. God, I've never seen him so charged of all the things.

Speaker 1 Maddie, do you taste test these?

Speaker 2 I do. I like all of these snacks.

Speaker 1 No, you don't. You do not like that snack.

Speaker 2 Yes, seaweed's good for you, and it's a great substitute.

Speaker 1 Seaweed's good for you. An octopie wouldn't have that.
Okay. That's more than one octopus.
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 But you said an octopie.

Speaker 1 Oh, here's good.

Speaker 1 You decided to get some jerky, but don't worry, it's grass-fed and finished. Zero sugar.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 2 What's wrong with any of that stuff, though?

Speaker 1 I like lots of sugar in my beef.

Speaker 1 I also, I want beef that's not, I don't want some beef that's eating grass. I want beef that's out eating other beef.

Speaker 1 Bullshit. This is bullshit, Allie.
My daughter eats these seaweed things, and they're not anywhere near as good as these ones. Those are terrible.
That's terrible. Teriyaki.
It tastes like seaweed.

Speaker 1 You know what? When I was a kid strolling the beach, I never once was like, hmm, look at that seaweed on the sand. And then started chomping away.

Speaker 1 Macadamia, that's the worst of the nuts. I'm sorry, it is.
Apologies to Hawaii, but you guys really blew it with the macadamia. You've got some mints here.
That's good. Oh, I see.

Speaker 1 You put a lot of mints in here to get the seaweed taste out of your mouth.

Speaker 1 That's why they're there. Mr.
O'Brien, sir, may I just ask you, Dr. O'Brien, Dr.
O'Brien, sir. THRD, Dr.
O'Brien, nonsensology.

Speaker 2 Nonsensology.

Speaker 2 May I just ask, what snacks would you like to see in the basket?

Speaker 2 And I ask this because before the Oscars, I put together a basket for you and I reached out to David Hopping, your assistant, and he said, and I quote,

Speaker 2 I don't know, I guess, protein bars.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 2 what could I do to

Speaker 2 please my benevolent boss?

Speaker 1 Maddie, you don't want to be thinking about me because I am someone who's filled with a lot of self-loathing. And when I approach a gig like the Oscars, I start, I get nervous, I get intense,

Speaker 1 I just eat protein bars, I drink a lot of water, I drink, it's bad.

Speaker 1 No, I'm saying, I'm telling you, this isn't supposed to be, I'm saying you shouldn't be catering to me because I don't have joy in my life.

Speaker 1 I've removed joy in my life so that I can bring joy to others in a selfless way.

Speaker 1 Good mint.

Speaker 1 Don't go by me. Okay.
But go by, like,

Speaker 1 you should call one of my brothers. Okay.
Actually, call my brother Neil and find out what to put in there. Okay.

Speaker 2 It's going to be moon pies and stuff.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's going to be a great.
It's going to be full of great.

Speaker 1 No, but I mean, you know,

Speaker 1 you know, cookies and yummy snacks. Eduardo, jump in here.
You agree with me, right?

Speaker 1 I agree with you. I'm sorry, Maddie, but I also do have the taste buds of a 15 year old boy yes but a lot of people do

Speaker 1 not a lot of like celebrities though they do that's a myth you all think because we have these amazing bodies and i see the way you guys look at me that with total disdain yes that's what i meant but there's a misconception no i mean some of these guests like cha might really wish that someone would offer her some Oreos just once instead of putting out some dried papaya goof that she could spread on her gum.

Speaker 1 Two baskets, naughty and nice, and they can make the choice, but they have to choose one.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 We could do a study on this and just kind of see what's going on.

Speaker 1 She's a chart of like who went naughty and who went nice. Yeah.
Cher went naughty. Jane Fonda went naughty.
Oh, Colvie Hahn went nice.

Speaker 2 You guys keep saying Cher.

Speaker 1 Share was booked.

Speaker 2 Cher was booked. What?

Speaker 1 She was booked, and then the fires broke out. I know.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 2 And now you guys keep bringing her up as if we had her on the show.

Speaker 1 Well, we had a basket ready for her. Come on.
Yeah, it was filled with some of the worst shit anyone's ever eaten. It was a basket full of hush.
Does it have to be snacks? Gosh, you said it right.

Speaker 1 What's that? Does it have to be snacks? Could it be like a mixture of like some swag and oh, well, now that's caught and that's

Speaker 1 not a problem. Well,

Speaker 1 if they don't take the swag, that's just kind of like do we ever give them like is there a is there a Conan O'Brien needs a friend a hat or something? That's for sure.

Speaker 1 Well, guess what? Guess what? I'm going to tell you something. It's very smart.
I'm sure other podcasts give you swag. I know there are late night shows.
We would do it on a late night show.

Speaker 1 You give a celebrity a t-shirt. They wear it, and then they're on at St.
Bart's. Beyonce is walking around wearing a t-shirt that says, I love Conan.

Speaker 1 And people of paparazzi take a picture and they're like, wow, Conan's cool. Hello? Can I lose you guys?

Speaker 1 What are you guys doing? Why are you sitting on the side? Signaling each other. Way, what's happening? Why are you signaling? No, there's nothing happening.
We were just going to

Speaker 1 give the raplate, but I was just saying, not yet. We should go just a few more minutes.
Oh, I didn't realize that you're the Toscanini of this.

Speaker 1 I didn't realize you have the baton. I'm not going to be able to play that.
You know that a raplite is just an indication. You go as long as you want.
I go as long as I want.

Speaker 1 When I sense that we've hit oil, I keep drilling, baby. Yeah.
Get the heat on.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I can't believe you cut off his Beyonce wearing the eyebrows.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, good, yes.

Speaker 1 That's way worse than bad things. That's the raplite.

Speaker 1 So I will say back at the TV show, you know, one of the things we used to give people, among other things, was a giant can of delicious popcorn. And people used to love munching on that popcorn.

Speaker 1 You know what? We gave them this amazing popcorn that comes from Chicago, and

Speaker 1 it's a cheddar, but it's like it's made of molten cheddar. It was so good.
What about a seaweed popcorn? No. Oh, I like that.
No, listen. Stop.

Speaker 1 I know that you want to live to be 250 and be in terrible pain at the end of your life. But what are you doing?

Speaker 2 I would like another one of these.

Speaker 1 Another brother.

Speaker 2 These gluten-free brother bites.

Speaker 1 Stop giving them free advertising. We do not want that company to flourish.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 All right. I'm going to shut it down because I.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was Garrett's popcorn. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Garrett's, and we never had any complaints about Garrett's popcorn.
Also, I'll say. In the green room at the show, we used to have a whole cheese plate.
Yes.

Speaker 1 There was all kinds of sauces.

Speaker 1 Listen, this was a different time. Okay.
Erin, we were were a television show

Speaker 1 with a certain budget. Now we're a bunch of people hovered around one microphone hiding from the rain.
So, no,

Speaker 1 we are not going to start having caviar and roasted ham out there, but I think we can do better than what we're doing.

Speaker 1 And, Maddie, what?

Speaker 2 Here's your Haley Bieber smoothie.

Speaker 1 Your Haley Bieber spookies. Yeah, perfect.
Oh, and get my nettle spoon. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Speaking of budget, I have to beg for these snacks as is. I can't fill a basket with $19 Erewhon smoothies.

Speaker 1 I just want to sell it. That's

Speaker 1 unbelievable. Listen, I am at the top of the top of the Hollywood pyramid, okay? Because I have a Haley Bieber smoothie.
It was just brought to me, probably as a bit, but I'm going to enjoy it.

Speaker 1 What does that taste like? It tastes like beauty.

Speaker 1 It tastes like youth. It tastes like fame.
It tastes like all good things

Speaker 1 available at Erewhon. And they're only $700 a pot.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 you have to have a co-signer for the loan.

Speaker 1 I'm going to sign off. And listen, Maddie, I want to end on a positive note, which is I really think I'm a great podcaster.

Speaker 1 And I think I'm a pretty good-looking guy. I can't come up with something positive about you.
I just, I'm, no, you are fantastic. You do a great job.
We all love you. We cherish you.

Speaker 1 I think something went very wrong. I think you're angry about something.

Speaker 1 It's reflected in this gift basket, which is a tragedy. It's a crime.

Speaker 1 But I think it's easily fixed. But other than that, let me tell you, we are very lucky to have you.
Okay. Thank you.
We love you. You're very funny, very creative.
She's a very funny person.

Speaker 2 Oh, I love Maddie. And I love the snacks.
I'm sorry. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 1 No, you dick.

Speaker 2 That's the worst thing you could do to chips.

Speaker 1 Yeah, to rest. Really, no, no, not to those chips.
That actually improved those chips. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Also, can I just say we have a guest coming in probably three minutes, and now all of these snacks are either eaten or just tarnished.

Speaker 1 She's for today's video. Oh, guess what? Guess what?

Speaker 1 Wait, okay. I'm smashing up all the snacks and then

Speaker 1 see if Carol Leifer notices.

Speaker 1 Well, Carol.

Speaker 1 Here, I'm going to spit in this one. No,

Speaker 1 I'm not going to do that. I like it.
I like. I'm not going to do that, Tikara.
We'll get her some.

Speaker 1 But seriously, let's up the game a little bit and give people, I'd say, a little bit of a mixture. Absolutely no seaweed, no mushroom jerky.

Speaker 1 Throw a couple of Oreos in there, but you can still have your gluten-free glimglams and glam glams. Okay.

Speaker 2 Well, this has been very informative. Thank you.

Speaker 1 I think it's been very informative. And I think I had a little bit of

Speaker 1 my arrow on Haley Bieber Smoothie.

Speaker 1 They put actual pieces of gold in here. And actual pieces of Haley Bieber.
Yeah. Okay, you went too far.
It's red.

Speaker 1 I like the joke. Thank you.
Okay. It's red.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Here's the bottom. Yeah.
Hold it up and look at the bottom. That's right.
That's below. That's her spleen.
That's her spleen.

Speaker 1 Yeah. She really gave up herself to make this movie.
Thanks, Haley.

Speaker 1 Peace out.
