Okay, let's get started.

Speaker 5 Hey, Conan O'Brien here, and this is our third podcast episode about my Max series, Conan O'Brien Must Go. This is the third because today

Speaker 21 our third episode of Conan O'Brien Must Go drops.

Speaker 19 And this one

Speaker 18 may be a personal favorite of mine.

Speaker 23 It is Austria.

Speaker 8 And it is jam-packed with foolishness,

Speaker 18 inanity,

Speaker 25 and insanity.

Speaker 21 I'm a man who's never been afraid to put on a fake mustache or beard.

Speaker 5 You'll be seeing plenty of that in this episode.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I am very happy with this episode.

Speaker 32 And it was a little bit of a strange one for circumstances I will explain.

Speaker 33 But first, I'd like to tell you who's here with me.

Speaker 9 It's my team, my squad, my girl squad,

Speaker 22 who helps me with all of these episodes.

Speaker 16 The nuclear core behind all the travel shows, going back to Conan Without Borders on TBS and now the Mac show.

Speaker 2 You got Mike Sweeney.

Speaker 36 Hello, Mike.

Speaker 37 Hello, Conan.

Speaker 5 And you also have Jesse Gaskell.

Speaker 33 Hello, Jesse.

Speaker 38 Hi, Conan.

Speaker 17 Thanks for having us.

Speaker 39 Of course, Jose Arroyo.

Speaker 40 Hey, hi, Conan.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 5 this is

Speaker 9 Austria.

Speaker 39 That's the episode. The Usterreich.
Ooster Reich.

Speaker 41 Ooster Reich.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 26 this one was a little bit strange because

Speaker 5 not to get too heavy, but I just think it's worth noting how we did it, which is quite unusual.

Speaker 16 We went to Austria late November.

Speaker 11 I got the call about hosting the Oscars.

Speaker 5 I said, yes, I would like to do that.

Speaker 20 And then we asked Nina Rosenstein at

Speaker 36 MAX,

Speaker 5 is it okay if we do that?

Speaker 16 And she said, yes, we're thrilled with you doing the Oscars, but we do need you to finish up

Speaker 44 the last travel show.

Speaker 45 That would be great if you could do that.

Speaker 5 And we said, of course.

Speaker 22 So we immediately rushed off to Austria to start shooting.

Speaker 11 And we were working our way across the country.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 22 I think we were maybe halfway through our travel show.

Speaker 41 Exactly halfway.

Speaker 16 Halfway through when I got a call that my father had passed away.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 2 so immediately we dropped everything.

Speaker 26 I jumped in a van,

Speaker 41 flew a couple of flights back to Boston, got there.

Speaker 19 And then two days after arriving, my mom passed away.

Speaker 5 And so it was this very powerful, strange time.

Speaker 49 And it was this double funeral, and everything was

Speaker 11 sort of chaotic and hard to process.

Speaker 5 And then a really lovely gesture, I'll just pass along is that

Speaker 5 suddenly at the funeral in Boston, Mike Sweeney shows up with Jeff Ross,

Speaker 5 with Sonom Obsession, with Jason Shalemi, with Adam.

Speaker 15 And if I'm forgetting anyone,

Speaker 45 tell me.

Speaker 31 But that meant a lot to me.

Speaker 16 So I want to thank you guys for doing that.

Speaker 19 You then charged me your airfare.

Speaker 39 I had selled tickets.

Speaker 51 Well, you guys I Celtics tickets.

Speaker 36 But anyway, that blew my mind when you guys walked into the church.

Speaker 5 That was, I'll never forget that.

Speaker 2 And Jesse, I don't know why you weren't there.

Speaker 17 I wasn't invited. They didn't tell me they were going.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 31 And actually, you came and I had a bouncer out front.

Speaker 31 I was the only guy that had a bouncer at a wake at an Irish wake.

Speaker 46 It's a private party.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 31 And but anyway,

Speaker 31 it was

Speaker 13 so that happens.

Speaker 19 And then

Speaker 19 suddenly we're into

Speaker 2 it's Christmas, then the fires.

Speaker 36 Oh my God.

Speaker 19 Then

Speaker 10 dislocated from my home and we're working on the Oscars.

Speaker 18 I'm in a, I'm living in a hotel, craziness.

Speaker 54 And then

Speaker 2 the Mark Twain thing happened after the Oscars.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 5 And then it was immediately the day after the Twain.

Speaker 2 The next morning, we all jumped on planes and flew to Austria to continue the Austria show.

Speaker 41 Pick it back up.

Speaker 19 and you're running out of excuses.

Speaker 52 You're running out of excuses.

Speaker 28 No more dead parents.

Speaker 27 But I'm getting another award.

Speaker 56 We're sick of you and your made-up awards.

Speaker 53 I'm getting the O.

Speaker 27 Henry Award.

Speaker 28 And there's a twist at the end where there's no award.

Speaker 29 So anyway,

Speaker 48 we go back to Austria and it was...

Speaker 14 The first time we've ever done that for three days.

Speaker 33 What was very interesting is that because of all this stuff that had happened before and because i was kind of running on fumes i think i was sillier during those three days oh my god i was i was extra yeah crazy silly um

Speaker 6 and free associating uh like someone on drugs and that so when you guys put the show together

Speaker 58 i was in a fugue state um perfect for vienna no it really was and uh I think all of that combined makes it a very interesting travel series and one

Speaker 2 that, I mean, I watch it and I know that it's like bifurcated.

Speaker 14 It's divided between this is before I hear about my parents.

Speaker 32 This is much later afterwards I'm back.

Speaker 31 But the viewer wouldn't know that, but it's just interesting.

Speaker 51 Also, weather exactly

Speaker 55 the same four months later. Yeah, really.

Speaker 20 More or less.

Speaker 29 Well, it was Christmassy.

Speaker 60 There was some Christmassy vibes.

Speaker 37 Some decorations.

Speaker 2 And then, but yeah, pretty much you'd never know.

Speaker 5 I just brought it up because I thought people like inside baseball, and that is something that's happened in that show that's never happened.

Speaker 42 We've never had to leave a country and then come back to it a couple of months later to finish one show.

Speaker 5 But there's so many silly little ideas in that show.

Speaker 50 You guys go with that.

Speaker 40 We went back specifically to have you record in Vienna because we had done other parts of the country already. And then we paused it when we were in Linz and you got the word about your dad.

Speaker 43 And

Speaker 40 I remember you came down to the breakfast area and you just, and it was just you and me. And you said, there's no easy way to say this, but my father passed away.

Speaker 40 And then Mike Sweeney and Jeff Frost came in and you just said, I know one thing. I won't be taking a yodeling lesson today.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 57 Because that was on the schedule.

Speaker 29 That was on the schedule for me.

Speaker 31 I was going to meet up with a fan and learn how to yodel.

Speaker 42 I know one thing. And

Speaker 6 I just knew that like you can't, if you hear about

Speaker 2 if you hear about your father but also i knew that if you hear about your father passing away unexpectedly and you go right okay time to yodel yeah yeah

Speaker 48 in leather shorts exactly that is the definition of a sociopath

Speaker 40 yeah so you do more you were you were a more evolved sociopath and you took a car to the airport and you went home so you know what was weird is that you guys were very nice and you were like

Speaker 26 Conan, you need to pack.

Speaker 5 And, and, and, of course, Jeff was great.

Speaker 45 He was like, you know, we, and Shalemi, they were like, we got a car downstairs.

Speaker 5 It's going to take you to the, they scrambled.

Speaker 2 You're going to take this airline to this, you know, city and then to that city.

Speaker 5 And that's going to get you to Heathrow. And then you're going to go.

Speaker 31 And I'm acting like I'm all together.

Speaker 42 Like, oh, yeah, no, no, no, that's okay. And look, these, you know, these things happen.

Speaker 48 And, and I'm putting a watch on, just a watch, a regular watch.

Speaker 2 And I kept putting it on upside down and backwards.

Speaker 48 And I kept, I did that like five times.

Speaker 5 I didn't, my, I was so on the surface, I was acting like, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Speaker 36 Well, I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 And I guess we can pick up this later.

Speaker 32 I should go home.

Speaker 19 And,

Speaker 49 but in total sort of Irish Catholic denial about whatever I'm feeling, and the way I knew it was that I kept putting my watch on, and then I'd look at it, and it was facing down and away like this.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 56 And then I'd do it again, and it would be on this side.

Speaker 47 And I was like,

Speaker 64 I suddenly didn't know how to do the most elemental thing in the world, which is put a watch on.

Speaker 17 Well, it's nice to know you're human. It's, I mean, really.

Speaker 40 Or he has a human side.

Speaker 50 Okay, I guess that's exactly.

Speaker 40 Exactly.

Speaker 36 How do we know that I just don't know how to put a watch on?

Speaker 23 He's a watch likes.

Speaker 46 You look at me and I've got this hangling from my earload.

Speaker 29 Well, see you later. Oh,

Speaker 63 that wasn't a sign of mourning.

Speaker 40 But we went back specifically to get the capital city, which is what we had sort of missed.

Speaker 27 Seeing awaited for you.

Speaker 37 Exactly.

Speaker 52 Nice, nice.

Speaker 61 We spent a couple,

Speaker 55 after you left the first time, we had to cool our heels in Vienna for a few days.

Speaker 61 And while we were there, we were there alone with Jordan.

Speaker 55 We shot some stuff with him.

Speaker 51 Which is Dante's eighth layer of hell.

Speaker 34 Sixth through eight.

Speaker 55 And we shot something with him.

Speaker 50 Jordan, which we ended up using.

Speaker 55 So that worked out. But

Speaker 55 we went back to Vienna. The fan who was supposed to meet us in Linz, where he lived, we had him meet us.

Speaker 41 And it worked out great.

Speaker 40 And he was wonderful. Yes.

Speaker 51 And I did Yodel.

Speaker 50 And he did what you did.

Speaker 50 I did Yodel.

Speaker 23 And your watch went on drinking.

Speaker 38 I was associated enough to Yodel again. Yes.

Speaker 37 Everyone's going to check how you're wearing your watch in this show.

Speaker 23 It was a very musical episode.

Speaker 50 And it's very musical. And it's perfectly fascinating.

Speaker 5 One of my favorite things is a segment where

Speaker 5 we visit the exact spot where Julie Andrews did the open for the sound of music.

Speaker 50 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 19 And Jose Arroyo.

Speaker 17 Which is not easy to coordinate.

Speaker 31 No, no, not easy to coordinate, but

Speaker 65 it's the

Speaker 6 exact spot, like literally down to exactly where I'm standing.

Speaker 55 It's secret that you have to get, we had to go through a lot of different channels.

Speaker 37 You have to go to Juliandrew.

Speaker 57 To get permission.

Speaker 27 And

Speaker 31 you have to talk to all the actors who played the children, and they have to be lined up on a staircase.

Speaker 40 I'd love the goat herd.

Speaker 59 Public is not allowed there.

Speaker 55 It's on private property, and the owner is very reticent too, because 10 years ago they let uh ABC shoot there and I I think they felt like it over publicized it or something well it was an episode of lost exactly and I think that they were just mad that it didn't wrap up but you were going to say Jose

Speaker 48 Jose Jose uh wrote this song which is all about us not being able to clear the sound of music and get the rights of course you can't get the rights so you wrote a song about that which is in a similar vein but not of course not and no art no lawyer could

Speaker 42 could find any similarity.

Speaker 5 But it was

Speaker 35 really

Speaker 5 great work, Jose, and

Speaker 31 very creative.

Speaker 5 And the way it's shot.

Speaker 6 And I was very...

Speaker 56 Every now and then we get to do a little set piece.

Speaker 5 Like one of my favorite travel shows from the TBS days was the Italy show because we do a little Italian movie.

Speaker 2 Every now and then we get to do a little, and I really love those.

Speaker 6 I mean, I love the sponge nothing will ever beat spontaneous, fun moments that we have

Speaker 41 with,

Speaker 2 and I'll say that from my late night career and just in general, nothing will ever, those are my favorite moments, but every now and then there's just a little moment to have a set piece where we get to really shoot it like cinematographers and choreograph it a little bit.

Speaker 2 And you wrote this music and we kept, and when we get into those things, I'm obsessive about

Speaker 60 if

Speaker 5 Jose has put this much effort into it, I want it to be just right too.

Speaker 12 So I'll ask for multiple takes.

Speaker 5 I won't say, hey, we got to go.

Speaker 2 I want to make sure it's just what you have in your head.

Speaker 40 Thank you. You were in later hoods.

Speaker 29 I was going to say it was short. It was cold.

Speaker 40 And it was cold up on that mountain.

Speaker 35 Colonel Brian Needs a Friend is brought to you by Airbnb.

Speaker 26 I've taken a few trips in the past where I got a place through Airbnb.

Speaker 10 I've mentioned this before, lovely experience.

Speaker 56 I think I'm going to do it again. I love it.

Speaker 66 It makes me feel so comfortable when I'm in a home that I get on Airbnb.

Speaker 14 Well, you've done this a lot, haven't you, Blay?

Speaker 66 I have. And actually, Eduardo and I tomorrow are going to Austin, and I'm trying to get him to stay with me in a house that I got on Airbnb.

Speaker 50 I don't know about sharing a spot with you.

Speaker 14 Well, he's very loud.

Speaker 10 He's very loud. And he always has to bring his figurines with him.

Speaker 1 They're emotional support figurines.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah, but the great thing about getting a place through Airbnb, and I've done this in several cities, I like just feeling like, okay, this is my own space.

Speaker 54 I can do my thing.

Speaker 66 You're traveling. Why not enjoy it?

Speaker 34 Yeah. Well, thank you.

Speaker 46 Yeah, you're so nice of you.

Speaker 36 Eduardo, don't go with him.

Speaker 35 The other thing, and this would be a cool little detail for both of you, is if you're not using your place, you could list that on Airbnb.

Speaker 14 It's true.

Speaker 64 It's a terrific way to make some money.

Speaker 54 It's a terrific way to travel.

Speaker 10 So your home might be worth more than you think.

Speaker 19 Find out how much at airbnb.com/slash host.

Speaker 3 Amazon is known for its products, but I also really love their customer reviews.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 10 This holiday season, Amazon is bringing the most creative and outrageous customer reviews into the spotlight as part of their Amazon five-star theater.

Speaker 4 Here's a review for the board game Twister.

Speaker 32 Angela writes, I bought this to play with my other late 20s, early 30s friends.

Speaker 54 Our bodies were not prepared for the pain that ensued. When all of my extremities ended up on the same color, my body went into full spasm.

Speaker 28 This is harrowing.

Speaker 54 My arms turned to jelly and my spine broke in half.

Speaker 14 Finally, I fell slowly to the ground in frog pose.

Speaker 64 The torture was over.

Speaker 54 If you're in basic shape and somewhat flexible, this is the game for you.

Speaker 32 Five stars.

Speaker 4 You know, it's very rare for someone to be doing something with a product and have their spine break in half and give it a five-star review.

Speaker 14 That is very rare.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 4 This person's a very good sport.

Speaker 64 Anyway, whatever you're looking for this holiday, find the perfect gift on Amazon.

Speaker 5 Yeah. It was very exciting.

Speaker 4 I have to tell you, I don't care what your sport is, tailgates or watching parties or, you know, whatever, if you're watching High Lie,

Speaker 25 it doesn't matter.

Speaker 32 It is Miller Miller time.

Speaker 6 Miller Light is brewed with simple ingredients like malted barley for rich flavor and golden color.

Speaker 3 It's a taste you can depend on because Miller time is always a good time. I'm out there throwing the pig skin around.

Speaker 14 I used to just throw pig skin. Really? Chunks of pig skin.
Wow.

Speaker 64 I never had a football. Where would you find the pig?

Speaker 54 Oh, I went to a farmer.

Speaker 36 Oh, good.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And the pig had fallen and it was shredded.

Speaker 13 Anyway, back to Miller Light.

Speaker 3 I like just hawking pig skin around.

Speaker 32 I like to raise a Miller Light in the air and celebrate a great pass,

Speaker 3 throwing chunks of pigskin around.

Speaker 56 One of those nail biters.

Speaker 10 Last night's game, incredible nail biter with the Dodgers.

Speaker 64 Incredible.

Speaker 2 So anyway, Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 30 Go to Merrill Light.com slash Conan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Merrill Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

Speaker 49 And if they don't sell Merrill Light, turn to them and say, sir, you do not sell beer.

Speaker 3 It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 55 You know, Julie Andrews, it was a helicopter, of course, in 1965, but

Speaker 57 before

Speaker 55 that she shot it. It came out in 65.

Speaker 5 Yeah, they shot it in 64.

Speaker 61 Right, but I thought people would relate more to when the movie came out.

Speaker 56 I think people relate to the trick.

Speaker 48 Anyway, when they shot it, they used a real helicopter.

Speaker 9 Who gives a fuck?

Speaker 12 They used a real helicopter with Julie Andrews.

Speaker 31 And true story, the helicopter, they didn't know how to get the shot.

Speaker 6 And the guy who was like directing the movie said, I'll do it. And he got in the helicopter and he's like hanging out of a helicopter.
But the helicopter has to come really close to Julie Andrews.

Speaker 33 And the backwash from a helicopter is a serious deal.

Speaker 2 It's a, it's, you know, fans of that movie who know the behind the scenes know that when she's going, when the music is swelling and she's walking up the hill as I recreate, we're doing it with a drone.

Speaker 42 She was doing it with a massive like Vietnam-era helicopter.

Speaker 13 She got flattened a couple of times by just the wind.

Speaker 2 She got knocked down, and they kept making her do it over and over and over again.

Speaker 34 And apparently, at one point, I've heard Julie Andrews lost your temper.

Speaker 27 I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 68 I said, fucking pull this shit together.

Speaker 68 I'm fucking, I got fucking knocked down like 15 fucking times.

Speaker 48 But she did it at the highest register with a beautiful multi-octave range.

Speaker 55 They also trucked, like there's a scene where she walks along a brook and through some poplar trees. They that was all trucked.

Speaker 27 They built a stream. They ran a stream.

Speaker 41 Yeah, all that was

Speaker 36 all that was manufactured. Yeah.

Speaker 19 But anyway,

Speaker 19 that was.

Speaker 59 Oh, you know what else was fun to be?

Speaker 36 Ski lift.

Speaker 55 We had this great drone shot. There's a ski lift to one side and all these new buildings.

Speaker 9 So our great graphics artist,

Speaker 50 painstakingly. Chris Weller.

Speaker 55 Chris Weller painted them out.

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 16 He also painstakingly repaired my face.

Speaker 35 I was going to say so that I appear to be

Speaker 31 late 30s and a male.

Speaker 40 You lowered the hem of your later hosen by three inches because there was an issue there

Speaker 16 with standards.

Speaker 70 Can I say one thing, which is...

Speaker 40 This better be good.

Speaker 69 Well, speaking of.

Speaker 48 And we should identify this as Aaron Blay.

Speaker 34 Why should we call him Blay?

Speaker 70 Hi.

Speaker 70 You know, we started

Speaker 70 show in Zurich. You know, we landed and we started in Zurich.
We spent the night in Zurich. And kind of these, on these shows, we have a local crew.

Speaker 70 And so we're meeting these people for the first time. And does anyone, do you want to talk about kind of what happened?

Speaker 50 That's the first story.

Speaker 39 What's the first day?

Speaker 29 Well, anyway.

Speaker 62 So we're kind of running around.

Speaker 70 Jose was in the bathroom, so we're kind of waiting for Jose.

Speaker 51 Jose's always in the bathroom.

Speaker 27 And

Speaker 50 we're like, where's Jose?

Speaker 69 Where's Jose?

Speaker 23 And we're all in the bus ready to go.

Speaker 62 And we're going to drive.

Speaker 36 he's seated on the toilet, urinating. Yes.

Speaker 50 But I think Sweeney,

Speaker 69 we were going to drive to Austria. We're driving to the town of Philmkirche.

Speaker 70 And so finally, and I kind of get off the bus, and here comes Jose, and we're like, okay, we're all ready to go. And we start going and we're traveling.

Speaker 62 Driving, driving, driving, driving, driving, driving for a while.

Speaker 70 And then, in the very, I'm just kind of sitting towards the back.

Speaker 34 40 minutes.

Speaker 50 40 minutes, a good, a solid 40 minutes.

Speaker 31 And this recounting of it better be not as long.

Speaker 37 It's right. Go ahead.

Speaker 70 And then I hear behind me, there's some talking, and our drone guy stands up. He goes, Where, where, you know, are we going to the city center? And everyone's kind of talking.

Speaker 36 And then we go, no, we're driving to Feltch.

Speaker 69 He goes, I can't, I have to go to the city center. I can't go to Feltkirch.

Speaker 70 And it just happened that he was not our drone guy.

Speaker 69 He was a random tourist who got on the bus.

Speaker 50 He saw it was all getting on a bus.

Speaker 53 He thought it was a tour bus. And he drove

Speaker 37 a hotel shuttle. Way out of our way.

Speaker 5 Way, way out of his way.

Speaker 60 And he suddenly realized that he's part of a Conan O'Brien must-go shoot that's taking him to God knows where.

Speaker 32 He's probably going to have to yellow.

Speaker 17 I'm with Stanley Tucci.

Speaker 41 Yeah, I'm supposed to be with Ava Lamar.

Speaker 28 We were driving for like almost an hour. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 30 Oh, and he looked quite upset.

Speaker 56 He was upset.

Speaker 58 And it's not our fault.

Speaker 6 I think someone at the hotel said, I think he said, is that the bus to the city center?

Speaker 46 And someone at the hotel went, yeah, you know, and so off he went.

Speaker 6 But

Speaker 40 he saw them off at a gas station.

Speaker 62 He literally was 40 minutes away, and we told him.

Speaker 38 He was in a wheelchair.

Speaker 52 He was not.

Speaker 39 Well, he was on a respirator.

Speaker 10 I also want to point out that my first memory of I wake up and

Speaker 2 someone had gifted me this cool little, I like travel gear, and someone had gifted me this really cool small hair dryer

Speaker 5 that's like folds out. I think it's Japanese.

Speaker 6 It folds out.

Speaker 35 It's kind of got a sleek, cool, robotic ray gun look.

Speaker 21 And I I was like, oh, cool.

Speaker 5 I'm going to bring this on my to Austria. So

Speaker 2 that morning that we got up in Zurich, I look out the window.

Speaker 5 Oh, my God, it's Zurich.

Speaker 48 I take a shower.

Speaker 56 I get out of the shower and I plug in my little hair dryer and I turn it on.

Speaker 28 I heard a couple of

Speaker 43 every light, not just in my room, but I think on my floor, went out.

Speaker 30 And I smelled that smoke that no, you know, there's a smell that an electrical appliance has, which means it will never live again and it cannot be repaired.

Speaker 58 And so that smoke drifted up.

Speaker 56 And I looked down at this cool little neat Japanese and folded it up really neatly and dropped it in the trash can.

Speaker 5 And then went downstairs and went, I think I just shorted it.

Speaker 31 They were running around downstairs like there's a major explosion on the third floor.

Speaker 33 And I said, someone was using a Japanese hairdryer.

Speaker 56 But it was later explained to me that you have to bring a

Speaker 27 just using the converter.

Speaker 14 Just using the converter isn't enough.

Speaker 26 You need a voltage transformer, which I didn't have.

Speaker 14 So my apologies to the hotel in Zurich, which is still, I'm told, without power.

Speaker 27 Right.

Speaker 18 And there have been many casualties.

Speaker 55 And he's being sued by the family of that dead tourist.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 55 Died at the gas station.

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 50 That's not.

Speaker 35 I don't like that we've took that too far.

Speaker 5 And I apologize to you.

Speaker 46 Or not far enough.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 6 But

Speaker 40 it's very musical. And you encountered really great fans there as well.
And that's part of our homework, which is finding the people that you get to see when you get to the country.

Speaker 17 That's what brings us there. And then we're

Speaker 46 motivated by it.

Speaker 2 It's always meet the fan. And then

Speaker 2 the fan is

Speaker 2 my way in.

Speaker 5 And I use them.

Speaker 2 I use my fans. You do.

Speaker 29 You ring them. And then you pivot.

Speaker 19 And

Speaker 19 then

Speaker 5 there is a segment that I'm there's a I think there are the two segments that we shot in Vienna that I'm really happy with because I think to a degree

Speaker 2 it's me,

Speaker 11 I don't know what happens to me, but if you put me in a classic Conan de Bronze.

Speaker 2 If you put me in a certain outfit or a certain milieu,

Speaker 5 I start

Speaker 15 I start babbling.

Speaker 18 And one is at the Sigmund Freud,

Speaker 5 Sigmund Freud's home and office that I visited.

Speaker 5 And the other, there's also a Snow Globe Museum.

Speaker 18 Right.

Speaker 40 Yes, you were riffing a lot in that one.

Speaker 5 And then, and then there's finally singing with the Vienna Boys Choir.

Speaker 58 So those are all ones where I felt very much at home.

Speaker 25 Like, this is me.

Speaker 25 If I was put on this earth for any reason, it was to do this.

Speaker 12 And that's both the good news and the bad news.

Speaker 17 Well, that's amazing that that feels so comfortable for you because I think, I don't know, I watch and I think, wow, that would be a lot of stress to be thrust into this situation. And

Speaker 17 we often do. I mean, we throw you into these shark-infested waters a lot of times, but then it's like, that's

Speaker 38 you guys gave me a beard and a cigar.

Speaker 25 Let me speak in a corny Viennese accent.

Speaker 55 And you looked, I have to say, the transformation

Speaker 50 was

Speaker 39 amazing. Very funny.
Well, I

Speaker 12 was very happy

Speaker 58 with, I was very happy with, I mean, I enjoyed making this season

Speaker 5 Austria, despite

Speaker 65 the

Speaker 2 complicated emotions involved in that show,

Speaker 12 was

Speaker 2 might be my favorite for just,

Speaker 16 you know,

Speaker 47 I don't know. It has

Speaker 17 so funny.

Speaker 50 It's so surprising. Yes.

Speaker 31 Yeah, maybe blowing off steam.

Speaker 2 There's something, something, something's being off-gassed or vented.

Speaker 55 Oh, and there's a surprise. There's

Speaker 55 a bonus episode tucked into it.

Speaker 23 That's right.

Speaker 23 That's right.

Speaker 34 Wow. Okay.

Speaker 21 That might be promising too much. A whole bonus episode.

Speaker 31 Or maybe

Speaker 56 no, it really is. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 14 Leave it in.

Speaker 20 Well, bonus and quotes.

Speaker 37 I thought that was understood.
