Aruba isn't just a tropical island.

It's mother nature showing off.

It really is.

I'm sick of people saying Aruba, tropical island.

No, it's more than that.

I'm passionate about this.

The desert climate means beaches and cacti.

That means more than one cactus.

It's like the ocean, and the desert had a perfect baby.

The weather, always perfect.

Sunny skies, cooling breezes.

No jib jabs, no jub-jubs.

Aruba's got postcard-worthy white sand beaches like Eagle Beach.

Just named TripAdvisor's best beach of 2025.

Oh, snap!

Can you snap that any better?

You don't think you can.

Plus, Aruba's got over 100 nationalities.

100 nationalities.

It's like the UN, incredible cuisine.

Locals, so friendly, you'll wonder if they're confusing you for someone important.

I'm telling you, when you go to Aruba, you feel like a king and/or queen.

Show Aruba some love, and Aruba will love you right back.

Plan your next trip at Aruba.com.

Uncrustables are the best part of the sandwich.

I mean, we've been thinking that.

Why does he say it, right, Sona?

Yeah, like, who needs a crust?

You've been saying that since the day I met you 15 years ago, Sona.

You said, who needs the crust?

And I said, first of all, my name's Conan.

You know,

anyway, it's the perfect grab and go for all of life's moments with unbeatable soft bread and a variety of flavors like, well, peanut butter and grape jelly, peanut butter and strawberry jam.

Hello.

Peanut butter and raspberry spread and so much more.

No mess, no prep, just thaw and eat.

Yep, get them in the freezer aisle today.

Conan O'Brien needs a fan.

Want to talk to Conan?

Visit teamcoco.com/slash call Conan.

Okay, let's get started.

Hi, John.

Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.

How are you, John?

Good to see you.

I'm amazing.

How are you guys?

Well, we'll decide if you're amazing or not, John.

That's our decision.

We are the judge, jury, and executioner.

John, that made no sense, and I apologize.

Where are you coming to us from right now, John?

Located in Reno, Nevada, just north of you guys.

I was going to go by your house plant behind you and your guitar that was Reno.

I'm coming in hot, and I apologize, John.

But I just had some very sugary cereal.

The company that makes Fruity Pebbles sent us in a couple of boxes of Fruity Pebbles, and I had three bowls of fruity pebbles with whole milk.

Yes, that's my favorite cereal.

It's out there.

There's tons of them.

And it's like I mainlined

something that's much purer than crack cocaine.

Big bowls or small bowls.

How much volume are we talking about?

How dare you ask me a question,

John?

I came in way too hot, John.

And that's a fair question.

I would say a medium-sized bowl, a healthy-sized bowl.

And that's why I'm revving a little bit.

And I blame the people who make the delicious and fantastic fruity pebbles.

John, let's get to the point.

You come from Reno.

What is it you do?

Who are you?

Tell us about this man named John.

Yeah, absolutely.

Born and raised in Reno, Nevada, for better or worse.

And yeah,

started a couple juice bars with my elder brother.

You and your older brother own some juice bars in Reno, Nevada.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

We

started them after I dropped out of college.

We started them when I was 19 years old.

Okay.

And I'm 32 years young now.

And how are they doing?

Is this a viable, are you making your living off these juice bars?

I am making my living off of these juice bars.

Congratulations.

That's very cool.

You're an entrepreneur.

This is very cool.

Yeah, yeah, it's exciting.

It's a lot of smoothies for a living, but, you know, I'm constantly constantly making and serving smoothies, you know, year after year.

But, you know,

there's worse problems to have on this.

Well, I I don't know that there are, but

John, tell us about these smoothies, these juices that you make.

Pretend I'm a potential investor, or let's simplify it.

A customer.

What makes these juices or smoothies so great?

Sell me on these.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

So raw and fresh is

what sets us apart, I would say.

You know, we join sort of the juice barf craze.

Everybody's getting green juice.

Do you guys drink any green juice?

Yeah, yeah.

i like a green juice every now and then um and i do have a habit of making uh

i've been doing it for a while i would make a smoothie for myself in the morning using like three fistfuls of baby spinach and then i'd put some protein powder in there and some fruit and fruity pebbles no no

the fruity pebbles was uh an aberration i don't do that a lot but they sent the fruity pebbles and it is my um it's i can't help it it's

You're teaching every

product that they could just send it to you and you're going to use it no matter what it is.

Well, so far.

Okay.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes.

Every time.

I mean, we get sent a lot of fresh medicines and antibiotics from the pharmaceutical companies and I just immediately inject them into my body without even knowing what they are.

So send us whatever you got.

Send us some juice.

No, but

the juice is, so I'm familiar with, it's a good way to get some good stuff into you.

And

it is

what's wrong with that you're sugar crashing i know it's just the wording get some good stuff into you oh it is i mean when am i going to eat a couple of handfuls of spinach that's not going to happen right i'm not that's true popeye that's not going to happen i'm not with olive oil uh sailing the seven seas that's not going to happen in my life but if i put it into a kind of a tasty vanilla tinged juice or smoothie, that's going into my body.

So what kind of juices do you have?

What do you recommend?

Yeah, so we're all over the spectrum.

You know, like real health juicing is just like, no, fruit is not that much sugar.

You can have a little bit, but like mainly you're talking like spinach, kale, cucumbers, celery.

Now, what makes just all the boring stuff?

What makes that palatable?

How do you take all that stuff and make it drinkable?

You know, you know, we sell things like shots and stuff, and I tell people it's just like taking any other shot.

You just get it down, you know, like cucumber, kale, spinach, juice is always going to taste.

It's really funny that you're serving a product for people to eat, and you're saying, just get it down quickly and ignore the taste.

Do you know what I mean?

Can you imagine a restaurant where they're like, just get it in you fast?

Just get it in fast.

And then just hold it down.

You're going to want to vomit, but hold it down.

Once in a blue moon, we get like bad Yelp reviews where they go, like, this product tastes like shit.

I don't understand what the hype is about.

And we always respond, like, it's supposed to taste like that.

It's really good for us.

It's got shit in it.

So, yeah, we're going to be able to do it.

We try to put feces in it because it's good roughage.

Oh, God.

There are some things that I'm suspicious of that shouldn't be.

Like, I don't like.

Well, I know beets are good for me.

I have a beef with beets.

Yeah, I do, too.

Because they look.

like candy.

Yes.

They look like watermelon.

They're false advertising.

Right, right.

It looks like absolute ass.

Yeah.

yes yes yes and yet it's the staple crop in russia right um and uh and and people swear by beets i uh i'm with you on this

beets look red and wonderful and inviting and it looks like you're gonna bite into the sweetest cherry in the world and you bite into it and suddenly your mouth is world war iiii

um i disagree i like borscht a lot yeah well i mean you grew up in a different country in a different time

a different political ideology What does that have to do with Liking Borsch?

You grew up under the cold iron boot of an authoritarian regime.

That's not true.

That is not true.

So back to you, John, and I apologize for my compatriots bursting in like that.

I've made it very clear to them that they shouldn't speak, and yet they do, and yet I continue to invite them in and encourage them to speak and pay them to speak.

John, I'm still on a fruity pebbles high right now.

I'm jealous.

Hey, you know what you should do?

Make a really healthy shake, but then throw a handful of fruity pebbles in there and you've got a delicious shake.

That's what he was saying.

He said that earlier.

Did you say that earlier?

I left that person.

Okay, well, we're paying attention, John.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

It'll be new on our list.

Oh, no, of course.

Yeah.

Okay.

I have a question.

Celery.

Is celery anything?

That's a good question.

No, I'm sure.

Is it anything?

What is celery?

Celery is definitely something.

It's just water that somehow managed to form into a stick, isn't it?

Yeah, it's

like a little salt.

It's water that took a class and got hypnotized and thinks it's a stick.

But it's not beets.

It's not telling you anything different.

No, no, it's not telling you anything different.

But what is, does, does there, is there any nutritional value in celery?

Let's say I'm in a shipwreck.

I go overboard.

I get into a little raft and all it has is celery.

Do I survive after 30 days or am I dead?

I would say emphatically, no, you do not survive after 30 days.

Because what's in celery?

What's going on?

With just celery.

Well, it's got a lot of water and water and sodium and potassium.

And yeah, I mean, it's got nothing good and it's a nice dip in peanut butter.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

You know, yes, yes, it's like a cracker you don't mind, a tasteless cracker, but it then you put some peanut butter on it, it's fine.

But in and of itself, why would you add celery to any and look, I know that there are some listeners right now saying, why is Conan going down this celery road?

Yeah, I think he's lost his noodle.

He's gone, you know, he's been pebbled.

Yeah, he's been pebbled.

But no, I think I'm onto something.

Isn't celery a waste of time?

Why put it in anything?

Well, you're right.

It is mostly water.

And then while you were saying that, I was thinking that, you know, it does form into celery, and then we technically are turning it back into a water product to put it back into celery.

But does it have roughage?

Because roughage has its value.

But

celery has tons of value.

You want all that potassium.

You want all that sodium.

It is a great source of water.

I have a bagel.

There's some salt.

I like the crisp crunch where the beets just let you down.

fiber, too.

Yeah, fiber.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, fiber roughage.

I said roughage.

I'll take celery over beets any day.

I mean, it's over celery.

I said it wrong.

I said it incorrectly, but I will pick beets.

Sona hates over celery.

Yeah, I'm with you on celery.

Also, can I add, you guys are crazy for hating beets.

I'm Team Sona here because beets are great.

All right, John.

You can pickle them.

You can boil them.

Yeah.

You can juice them.

You know what?

It's funny.

Possibilities are endless.

I hate a beet, but when you say pickle it, suddenly I'm down.

Let it rot for a little bit, and then I'm all in the basement, and then I'm ready to go.

Now, if you don't like a food, pickling it doesn't make you like it more, John.

I'm sorry, I've never been angrier at anyone in my life.

I understand.

I've been having feelings about celery.

But I agree with you.

You're in business with your brother.

Now,

I love my brothers, but if I went into business with them, there'd be gunplay pretty quickly.

There'd be shots fired.

I can't.

Do you get along with your brother?

And what's your brother's name?

My brother's name is Adam.

Yeah, we started the business together.

And my number one piece of advice is you got it perfectly right.

Don't go into business with your family.

It's never a good idea.

Does he add, is he additive?

Does he add much to it?

Or is he sort of the celery in your shake?

Is he just this?

He's there.

He adds a little bit of sodium and a lot of water.

And like, you could do without him, but whatever.

He's here.

Be honest.

Is your brother celery?

Is Adam celery?

I would like to think I'm the beats in this family, versatile, delicious.

And then, yeah, I would like to think he's the celery.

Okay.

He's a little bit boring, a little plain, you know.

No, he's great.

Yeah, and boy, do we fight.

You know, we've developed some skills over the years of not like screaming at each other in front of customers and staff.

Yeah, when people go to a juice bar, they don't want to see two guys screaming at each other.

It's supposed to be, you're like a yoga studio.

You're supposed to represent this calm, self-nurturing.

Exactly.

What do you fight over in the juice world?

Oh, my gosh.

You wouldn't believe it.

Recipes, how much chocolate we should add to something?

Yeah, who's more and who's less chocolate?

You or Adam?

I would say I'm probably more chocolate and he's probably less chocolate.

Can I say something?

I'm going to jump in here, and I know that's unusual for me to talk a lot on these things, but

I'd say if you're using beets, go very heavy on the chocolate.

Anything you can to kill the beet and force the beat.

Agreed.

If that beat chocolate combo, you would be surprised.

It's no, no, it's

incredible.

So, banana, how do you feel about a banana?

Is that too much sugar?

Love bananas.

Not too much sugar at all.

It's an evolutionary sugar.

It's the kind of sugar you want.

So, yeah, all types of bananas.

Hey, if it comes from a tree or a plant, it's got to be good for us.

That's right.

Wait a minute.

Some poisons come from trees and plants.

That was a stupid thing I just said.

No, I think food-wise.

No, I should have qualified.

Unless they're poisoned by the brain.

With the exception of certain poison berries.

I'm just trying to be safe and make sure that no kids out there get hurt.

I love bananas.

A lot of kids listen to this podcast and then do immediately what I said.

That's true.

A lot of young children.

Beethoven's favorite fruit.

Bananas.

What's that?

Ba-na-na-na.

Ba-na-na-na.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

John, not only do I apologize, but I give you permission to sue us.

Oh, great.

And I will not contest the.

I will not use it.

Dr.

Dre's favorite fruit?

What's that?

Beats.

Beats by Dr.

Dre.

John.

You can't do the banana joke and then get on me for that.

Beats were not good.

Huh?

It wasn't that good.

John, is there any way that I can cut, I can just talk to John myself and these two.

I would love that.

You know what I wish?

I wish that this was, there was a section, there was a button where I could push, and you two were ejected into space.

This whole side of the room was ejected.

I wish that was.

You need Eduardo and you need Adam.

Oh, really?

I need Eduardo.

Oh,

what were you in 93, Eduardo?

I don't remember you.

Spinning the dials back there when I was killing it in late night.

I've always believed that your home should be an expression of who you are.

That was my mom.

I have that like tattooed on my low back.

Oh, wow.

I could have had so many things tattooed down there, and that's what I chose.

Down there.

This back to school season: Spend Less on Your kids with Amazon.

Okay, I remember back in the day when my kids were going off to school.

You're going through it now, Sona.

Yeah, but they're really young.

So

they still need stuff.

You got to get the backpacks.

And you got to get the crayons and the lunch box.

Man, we didn't let them have lunch.

Raise them up to be hungry.

No, we all love our kids.

We really do, but they have a magical talent for making our wallets weep, especially when school season hits.

Thankfully, Amazon's got everything you need for back to school.

Big selection, all at low prices, lunch boxes, school snacks, backpacks, water bottles, uniforms, apparel, noise-canceling headphones.

I never got to take those to school.

Me neither.

It would have helped me with Ms.

Smith.

More on that later.

Whether your kids growing two inches a week, diving into new after-school activity every month, or losing supplies faster you can label them, Amazon makes it easy to restock and stay ready, all in one place and without breaking the bank.

With low prices and fast delivery, you'll save time, money, and maybe even a little sanity this school year.

Remember, with Amazon's low back-to-school prices, you spend less on your kids because every dollar you don't spend on them is a dollar you haven't spent on them.

I never thought of it that way.

Wow.

Shop back to school at Amazon and spend less on your kids.

As a team mobile member, you can take the perks with you because you're traveling with magenta status.

That's cool.

I love saying it.

Magenta status.

It starts the moment you take off with free in-flight Wi-Fi so you can stream your favorite show on the go.

Plus, you're covered with 15 gigabytes of high-speed data in over 215 countries and destinations with Experience Beyond Plan.

That's cool.

And this magenta status sounds amazing.

Blai, tell me, I think you get magenta status.

What's it entail?

What's included in magenta status?

Yeah, I have T-Mobile.

I have had T-Mobile for a long time.

I love it.

And, you know, when we went to Thailand, I got great coverage and great high-speed data, which means that I could...

I hear it's up to 15 gigabytes.

That's right.

That's what I call it.

Since 1975, Miller Light has been the perfect way to stock up your core when you're finally together again.

Right.

Malted barley for rich, balanced toffee note flavors and the iconic golden color.

Man, I can't believe it's the 50th anniversary of Miller Light.

So many memories.

Oh, I'm at the Louvre, Miller Light, traveling around.

I'm one of those little trolley car things that you just one guy pushes up and down, up and down, and it comes in the business.

On the train tracks?

Yeah, and I've got my Miller Light with me.

i uh

i think

you are right hold on i'm not crashing this is no this is me being thoughtful sometimes i take pauses to create the illusion that i'm thoughtful i see john there is a juice movement in this country and it sounds like you have ridden this wave perfectly.

People love their juices.

Now, what kind of equipment do you use?

What kind of blender do you use?

And some might say, do you use a juicer?

What's that big juicer everybody uses?

Squeezener?

Brevel.

Oh.

Breville has that one juicer.

Are you getting money from Brevel?

What are you getting money?

No, but I'd like them to send me a juicer.

Don't do that.

We're not going to be.

Oh, me too, if we're doing

anything about it.

Brevre Breville.

The Neutra Bullet.

Oh, Neutral.

I use a Neutra Bullet.

And take that too.

And again, I am not,

we do not, no, I refuse any compensation.

That's bad.

We should not do that.

And if any of that stuff comes to us, I'm going to have it destroyed, except for fruity pebbles,

which I will eat immediately.

What's your blender of choice?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

So blenders, we're just using classic Vitamixes.

To make our juice, we're using two different machines.

We're using a huge cold press machine, which is essentially just like a hydraulic pincher.

It just squeezes fruits and vegetables together.

For like softer fruits and vegetables, we use a machine called the Auger Masticating Juicer.

What?

An auger.

Say it again, Auger Masticating.

Yeah.

So in our case, we're using a dual auger masticating juicer.

Oh my God, it's like a torture device.

You've talked, and then they unveil it.

This is the dual auger masticating process.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell tell you whatever you want to know.

Sorry, that was a little flight of fancy of mine.

Continue, please.

But yeah, so for our volume,

we are using huge cold press machines.

Yeah, and it's really just pinching.

It's really just a pinch machine.

You wouldn't want to get like hands caught in there.

No, I couldn't.

I wouldn't want to get it.

Can I just say one thing?

It would result in my death, but it might be kind of erotic to fall into a pinching machine.

What?

Well, even body's being pinched, and you're like, ooh, and then you realize, oh, it's over for me.

I'm being turned into a juice.

But then there's like a glass below that there's just all this Conan juice that comes out of it.

Hey, I'm telling you something.

You do a lot worse than Conan juice right now.

I don't know.

That's true.

I feel like some people would be willing to give it a try.

Has anyone ever fallen into a juicer and been killed?

And if they had, would you sell that juice?

That's a good question.

I would, we know.

No, it's not.

It's not a good question, John.

It's a stupid question.

You're insane if you think that's a good question.

Has anyone fallen into the juicer and then then been turned into a juice?

And then have you sold that juice?

That was my question.

You would need to fall very thin because you have

a very small amount of area to get in, but I'm willing to give it a shot, I'd say.

Yeah, I'm going to say, John, let me ask you a question.

Let's say I did, I

had an accident and I fell.

I was visiting you in Reno because I was there to gamble and

lost big, got depressed, and jumped into your juicer to end it all.

The juice that resulted would be pure Conan juice.

Wouldn't you be tempted to sell that for a lot of money?

Because just think about it.

The essence of Conan O'Brien in a juice.

I think that would be worth...

Blood and guts.

No, but that'd be the essence of my, whatever it is, it makes me me, the genius.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

That sounds gross.

That sounds like you would close up your shop completely forever.

Yeah, what I was going to ask is if we, let's say we bottle and sell it in 16-ounce increments, like how much would we charge for Conan?

Yeah, how many, how many 16-ounce lots can you get out of a big man?

Yeah,

6'4, 191-pound male.

Boy, you get a lot of people trying to vaccinate.

There's a red hair in my juice.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

I bet we get 50 to 60 bottles.

That's what it is.

We probably sell them for...

What, $8 to $10 each or something like that?

$8 to $10?

I am a seminal figure.

No, it's like tequila, but instead of a worm, there's a red hair, and you got to drink the red hair.

It's carrot juice with red hair.

It's a red hair and a little ivy.

That's it $10.

Hey,

John, this has been a terrible conversation.

I mean, from beginning to end, just insanity.

But I've enjoyed it.

I really have.

And I'm wondering if you have a question for me.

How can I help you?

I do, Conan.

So we share something, which is that we both have webbed feet.

Well, excuse me.

I will not be, well, let's be specific.

On foot, I have two toes that are joined by some webbing.

So they're webbed.

Me too.

I feel like that's called webbed feet.

Yeah, that's what I have.

No, what I'm saying is it's not like I have these two duck feet.

There's two toes joined by one web.

Is that

does that mean I'm just in the webbed foot category?

I have a family member with a similar thing.

That's what we in the industry call it.

That's a webbed foot.

You're in the web foot industry?

Yeah.

that's what our club calls it anyway okay so yes i am part of that club you should be proud of it yeah it's a cool swim better yeah

except there's just one foot so i swim in circles

one foot's much more powerful than the other bath yeah it looks like i'm circling the drain whenever i go swimming okay i'm sorry go ahead john so you have webbed uh feet as do i I do, and I don't know if this would be of interest to you guys.

And I also don't know if I'm flexible enough to show you, but I actually got the sort of famous webbed foot tattoo a couple couple years ago what's the famous i don't know what that is let's see

can i show you is that okay

i installed i did not take i did not take care of my feet before this so forgive whatever that is please that's okay that's all right we can clean this up and editing oh

look at those old wow

you're real webbed that is so cool for the listener he's got a little icon of scissors with a dotted line like cut here that's so cool you should do that too yeah now i'm

have you ever been tempted to get the webbing cut?

I would think it'd be a very simple procedure, and then your toes are separated.

So, I heard this.

I don't, I'm not a doctor.

I make smoothies for a living.

Are you sure you're not a doctor or not?

But I heard that you can't anymore.

Once you reach the age of like post-beating a baby, whatever the scientific term for that is,

you

they can't cut them anymore because your nerves are like too ingrained in there, and then you'll bleed to death.

What?

Yeah.

I don't know who you're talking to, but I'm sure there's some

way to stop the bleeding by sewing it up.

But

why mess with what God has done is what I say.

Yeah.

And I say that knowing that a year from now I'm going to have radical facial surgery so that I can stay in show business.

But I had a webbed foot question for you, Code, which is that I don't know if you

promulgate, I don't know if you tell people a lot about your webbed feet, but people are.

Well, clearly you knew about it.

So I guess I have mentioned it.

I I didn't even know that.

That's true.

You are fast.

I think it came up in a

yeah, you mentioned it in a podcast and I was like, oh my God, Conan and I have something in common.

But my question for you is like,

people always say, are you a fast swimmer?

And I go, oh, yeah, Michael Phelps, blah, blah, blah.

But like, that answer is always a little boring.

So I was hoping you could help me come up with some better answers to what to respond with.

People ask, like, are you a fast swimmer?

What's it, you know, even what's it like?

What are some good excuses i could make i mean uh the only thing that comes to my mind is fuck you

i was born this way and it's not funny you know and then really act offended and hurt and walk out of the room and act like you've been and then come back in the room and then walk out again um that's one way to go the other way to go is with my quick is it on both feet or just one I technically have them on both.

Okay, see, that, because, because my joke is I just swim in circles because it's just one foot.

Right.

It's a pretty funny joke, but we already did that.

Oh, that is great.

I would just go with it.

I think it's a yes and.

So are you a fast swimmer?

Yes.

I'm incredibly fast.

And it's like there's an Evan Rude outboard motor on my ass.

I can swim at great speeds.

I would go that route, possibly.

There's all kinds of stuff you could do.

You're an Aquaman.

You're like Aquaman.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I could go the Aquaman route.

Maybe I could get like a bronze Olympic medal and say I like place, not first, but like something or something.

Yeah, get a bronze.

And actually, you can say there's one after bronze which is a dense wood

or a balsa then there's one after that there's a mahogany and then after that there's a balsa um but yeah i would just go with it i would always go with the riff i say so yes say i'm an incredible swimmer

and uh and then always allude to this sexual prowess and uh people don't have to know what it means but kind of you know and you know what they say about guys with webbed feet yeah and do the old grouch show at the eyebrows that they have a webbed dick

Yeah, webbed balls.

Excuse me.

What's going on here?

I was trying to keep it in the mysterious land.

And John, you went totally into the gutter with the help of Matt Borley.

John, I'm proud of you.

I'm proud that you,

as a young man, you left college, you started out a business, made the mistake of joining up with your brother.

I would never do that.

But I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you and what you've done.

And someday maybe I'll get to Reno and try your juice.

What's the name of your store?

It's called juice jus yeah you uh you won't have a hard time finding us a juice

yeah something like that yeah you can call it whatever you want though so but j-us is how do they how do you do the juice with an umlaut oh yeah yeah sorry it's jus with the german umlaut so it's juice oh juice okay just all right yeah because i would just think that's just yeah um

and uh all right well i'll check it out someday but hey no beets and no celery okay well that's too bad that's mostly what we serve

Well, that's a terrible commercial for your business.

Lots of chocolate.

Yeah, I just basically want a milkshake.

Chocolate-covered beets full.

Hey, John, best of luck to you, and thanks so much for calling in.

Yeah, what an absolute pleasure.

Thank you so much, you guys.

I really appreciate it.

Take care, man.

Did I do okay?

Was it?

You did great.

This was very good.

No, this is fantastic.

This was great.

Oh, great.

We've never had people.

No one seems to care how they did except you.

That's great.

And you did great.

I like that you cared.

That's what I'm saying.

Or would you be honest with me if I did terribly?

No.

We'd act just like we're acting now.

But guess what?

It was a really fun conversation, and you seem like a nice guy.

And I wish you'd take my advice about getting rid of beats and

celery and that fucking juice.

I'll send a group chat to my brother about it.

No, I hate that guy.

All right, man.

Take care.

Great job.

Bye, John.

Yeah, thank you guys so much.

Really appreciate it.
