Speaker 4 Want to talk to Conan?

Speaker 1 Visit teamcoco.com slash call Conan.

Speaker 3 Okay, let's get started.

Speaker 1 Hi, Arjun. Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.

Speaker 5 Hi, Matt, Sona, Conan. Hi.

Speaker 1 How are you, Arjun? It's nice to meet you.

Speaker 5 It is so nice to meet all of this. This is so ridiculous.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 it is ridiculous, Arjun. We are ridiculous people, and we thank you for taking the time to speak to us.

Speaker 1 Arjun, I have some questions for you. Where are you in the world at this moment? Where in this vast spinning blue globe we call Earth are you?

Speaker 5 I am in the southern part of India.

Speaker 1 Southern part of india what is that called

Speaker 5 south india

Speaker 1 i love this guy i love this guy

Speaker 1 i guess i asked a really stupid question

Speaker 1 that i'm calling

Speaker 1 i thought maybe there was a a name of a town but maybe it's in that part of southern india where nothing is named that i've heard so much about yeah beef is the region have a certain name that i could find on a map

Speaker 5 you can. I'm calling from Bangalore, but I am from this place called Kerala, which is even more south of Bangalore.

Speaker 1 Okay, Kerala. And is that a rural area or is it a big city? It's a state, so it has both, all of it.
Okay.

Speaker 1 You know what? I never want to interrogate you again.

Speaker 1 You are.

Speaker 1 You should consider being a spy because I don't think people are going to get information out of you. Every time I ask you a question, I know less about you.

Speaker 1 I live in a place. It's a place that's next to another place.

Speaker 1 Well, tell me a little bit about yourself, Arjun. What do you want us to know about you?

Speaker 5 I,

Speaker 5 what do I want you to know about me? I am single. I don't know why that's the first thing I'm saying.

Speaker 1 You're single. You realize this is not a hookup website we're on right now.

Speaker 5 But I was told something different in the future.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, listen, I'm an Aries and I like to play the guitar and eat only starches.

Speaker 5 I do like Irishmen, red hair,

Speaker 5 but Bill Burr.

Speaker 1 Oh, but what? Bill Burr? Bill Burr. Oh, Bill Burr.
You're looking for a Bill Burr. I know Bill Burr, and I could connect you guys.
So I could do that. I could maybe connect you to Bill Burr.

Speaker 5 He has a wife.

Speaker 1 I'm not a homebreaker. So what?

Speaker 1 I've got a wife.

Speaker 1 Anyway. He didn't say anything about you, though.
He was talking about Bill Burr.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 You offered yourself, and he said you wanted Bill Burr.

Speaker 1 His bonds are tenuous.

Speaker 1 So, Arjun, yeah, tell me about yourself. Are you like you?

Speaker 1 Are you gay?

Speaker 1 How dare? Yes, I am.

Speaker 1 Are you looking? Are you seeking a relationship right now?

Speaker 1 Always, because I keep falling for straight dudes, which is me too

Speaker 5 for both of us.

Speaker 5 Hey, I just watched your episode with Timothy Oliphant, and I, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Oh, trust me.
What's not to get? Yeah, he's the whole package.

Speaker 1 I apologize. I don't know how that translates to southern India.

Speaker 1 But so is that true you always fall for straight guys?

Speaker 5 Yeah, most of the time. They're so irresistible, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 Because, you know, they don't like you, and that's so hard.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Do you think it's possible?

Speaker 1 That

Speaker 1 on a subliminal psychological level, you might be doing that because you're scared of a commitment. Is it possible that you're doing

Speaker 5 talking to my therapist?

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, it just occurred to me that might be. Is that something that someone, a therapist has told you?

Speaker 5 Yeah, she thinks it's because I'm homophobic,

Speaker 1 which doesn't make sense to me.

Speaker 1 I love that. Something like the gay version of you.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Or just me.

Speaker 1 So you're gay, but you are homophobic, and um this causes you problems

Speaker 1 i mean yeah a lot of problems a lot of problems yes uh well i want you i want you to be happy you seem like a really nice person and so maybe i'm uh i want to help you in some way if i can i'd appreciate that a lot yeah how do you think i could assist you in your life what what are the things i could do for you arjun i mean you can come to india

Speaker 5 You can come to Bangalore. You can come to Kerala.
I'll be in either of the places wherever you'll be. And we can go out.

Speaker 1 And how would I be would I be in this area you're talking about, Kerala, that's in the south and

Speaker 1 sounds a little rural. Would I be accepted there?

Speaker 1 How would people feel about me?

Speaker 5 Oh, we are very accepting. In fact,

Speaker 5 you know, back in the 1400s, I'm going to go way back

Speaker 1 when

Speaker 1 I'm all up to this. Back in the 1400s, I'm getting a bedtime story right now.

Speaker 5 Back in the 1400s,

Speaker 5 Kerala was known as the land of spices, or what Kerala is today back then was known as the land of spices.

Speaker 5 The Malabar coast was exporting a lot of spices, like black pepper and cardamom and cinnamon and all of that. And it was very valuable in Europe and

Speaker 5 in the Arab world and everywhere, even more valuable than gold.

Speaker 5 So Europeans wanted, but the trade was controlled by Arabs and ottomans if i'm not wrong but the europeans wanted their own connection to kerala so this is guy called christopher columbus set sail

Speaker 5 uh and landed in the bahamas and thought that was kerala yes columbus mistakenly thought he had he had arrived in india and uh india so that's why he started calling yeah so we after that

Speaker 5 The Portuguese came, the Dutch came, the French came, and the British came. We loved all of them.
We couldn't get them to leave for like 200 years. So we are very accepting.

Speaker 1 We are very accepting. Well, guess what? Arjun, I have news for you.

Speaker 1 You will have a hard time getting me to leave. I've heard that before.
I think you need to arrive in an Irish-flagged boat. Like, you've been at sea for months and months.

Speaker 1 I want a Viking boat that I arrive in.

Speaker 3 They're going to accept you because you remind them of the colonizers.

Speaker 1 No, there you go. Yeah.
And they're to colonize.

Speaker 5 Never. Never an Irish man.
Never an Irishman.

Speaker 1 Never. Yeah, I I don't think the Irish colonized much of anything.

Speaker 1 You couldn't get us out of our house.

Speaker 1 We were innocent of all colonizing because we just wanted to hang out in the house

Speaker 1 and non-atturn.

Speaker 5 Yeah, we've been colonizing Ireland, actually. Like most of my cousins are in Ireland randomly.

Speaker 5 So, yeah, but they're used to it. Irish are used to being colonized.

Speaker 1 So that's fine. Yes.

Speaker 1 We're easy guys. If you know anything about us, we're very easygoing.
He said, lying through his teeth. Arjun, what do you do for a living? What's your profession? How do you make a living?

Speaker 1 Let's hear the story.

Speaker 1 Take us back to the 1400s.

Speaker 5 Back in the 1400s, right after Wascotama landed in the.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 So I am a writer, but

Speaker 5 I think I'm a marketer. I'm in marketing.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But what kind of stuff do you write? What do you write?

Speaker 5 Not the things that I should be writing, but I write for

Speaker 5 capitalism mainly because I'm in marketing. But I do want to write like a screenplay or like a book.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 5 Shout out to Sona.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, one day. That's right.
She's the author in the room, which is really cool. She's, yeah, author.

Speaker 1 And Sona has another book coming out.

Speaker 3 I just finished it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 She just finished reading it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 The World's Worst Mom.

Speaker 2 Yeah, World's Worst Mom.

Speaker 1 Wonderful.

Speaker 1 Wow. Wow.

Speaker 1 You were either excited or very frightened at the prospect. I am.
That came across as fear. I'm excited.

Speaker 5 Because I couldn't read the first one yet. I couldn't get it anywhere here.
You should talk to your publisher.

Speaker 1 There's a whole market in southern India, not being specific as to where, but there's a whole... Well, that's why it's not there because they couldn't figure out where to send it.

Speaker 3 If you go, I'll send it with you.

Speaker 1 So, Arjun, let's say I were to come and visit you. What kinds of things would we do? We'd go out.
That I insist upon. That would be fun.
And you think I'd mix well?

Speaker 1 People would be happy to see me, maybe?

Speaker 5 Yeah, they couldn't look away from me even if they tried. But it would be fun.

Speaker 3 You're like the sun.

Speaker 1 That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. They couldn't look away from you even if they tried.
You're when the ark opens and Raiders in the lost arc.

Speaker 1 People's faces will melt off.

Speaker 5 yeah we could go to toit you remember toit you may not remember toit there's a picture of you outside the restroom in toit oh i've heard about that this was on another conference yes i was thrilled to hear i was speaking to another fan who said there's a picture of me outside the restroom and i've never been more excited yeah so that was supposed to be my story when i was going to talk to you uh-huh he stole my story oh he doesn't know me i don't know him but i know his name nikhil And he's told my story.

Speaker 5 So the only way for me to get back at him is for us to go to Toy together.

Speaker 1 And he can be invited.

Speaker 1 Isn't it better if he's not invited?

Speaker 5 Or he has to be invited, but he has to be seated like six feet away from the city.

Speaker 1 I think you guys should put up a poster of the two of you right next to the other one, you know? He'll die.

Speaker 1 When the other fan hears that I came all the way to India and that he told me about the picture outside the bathroom in Bangalore, but I went with Arjun instead of him.

Speaker 1 And literally, we passed his apartment.

Speaker 1 That would crush him. That's brutal.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That would be.

Speaker 3 Why do we want to crush this?

Speaker 2 You have such an aggression towards this person you've never met before.

Speaker 1 It just feels like

Speaker 1 his idea.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. That was his story.
You're right. You're right.
It's warranted. You're right.
Yeah, and I'm just happy to have aggression towards anyone. So I jumped on board right away.

Speaker 1 That makes me a good idea. Classic colonizer.

Speaker 1 Eduardo, very good.

Speaker 1 Eduardo's right. I'm a classic colonizer.
You're mad at someone? Me too.

Speaker 1 Just stoking wars.

Speaker 1 Connor Brian Needs a Friend is brought to you by Airbnb. I've taken a few trips in the past where I got a place through Airbnb.
I've mentioned this before. Lovely experience.
I think I do it again.

Speaker 1 I love it. It makes me feel so comfortable when I'm in a home that I get on Airbnb.
Well, you've done this a lot, haven't you, Blai? I have.

Speaker 1 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. I don't know about sharing a spot with you.
Well, he's very loud.

Speaker 1 He's very loud. And he always has to bring his figurines with him.

Speaker 1 These are emotional support figurines. 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 1 I can do my thing. You're traveling.
Why not enjoy it? Yeah. Well, thank you.
Yeah. That's so nice of you.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Eduardo, don't go with him.

Speaker 1 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. It's true.
It's a terrific way to make some money.

Speaker 1 It's a terrific way to travel. So your home might be worth more than you think.
Find out how much at airbnb.com/slash host. Hey, Sona, I heard you got a new car.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, David usually gives me a ride to work, but I'd love it if you.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, you're not. I'm sorry.
You're not allowed in my new car.

Speaker 3 My Palisade is my oasis. It's my happy place.

Speaker 2 So you're not allowed in Palisade.

Speaker 1 Wait a minute. What are you talking about? I made you.

Speaker 1 When I found you, you were wandering the streets with a bucket on your head. What? And now you're Sonoma Obsession and you're driving around the Palisade.
You won't give me a ride.

Speaker 3 This is why I don't let you in my happy place because you talk about me walking around with a bucket on my head. Why would I let you into my personal oasis if this is the way you're going to talk?

Speaker 2 You have to earn your spot. Well, earn it.

Speaker 1 In my Hyundai Pisces. The all-new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid is more than just another SUV.
It's still the Palisade, but with so much more, like up to 600 plus miles of range. That's incredible.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it is. And class-leading interior space.
So much space. Now, have you enjoyed that extra space?

Speaker 3 I'm being very serious right now. If you recline the seat all the way back, a little ottoman pops up so you can sleep comfortably in the front seat.

Speaker 1 That's insane. Yeah.
There are seating configurations for seven to eight passengers with available third-row power seats that recline plus available front and second row relaxation seats.

Speaker 1 Learn more about the Hyundai Palisade at hyundaiusa.com. Call 562-314-4603 for complete details.
I've been traveling a lot recently. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Very important that you have your whole phone situation figured out before you travel. Yeah.
It's the worst when you look down at your phone and it's just, it's just shrugging at you.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't know where I am, what's happening.

Speaker 1 You know, your phone just looks exasperated and out of it. T-Mobile's been a big sponsor, and we talk about them a lot.

Speaker 1 And I have T-Mobile, and we were just in the Philippines, and uninterrupted, fantastic service, which not only was great for me personally, but also helped me do my job. I mean, it did.

Speaker 1 For the first time, I noticed you really clicking in on your job. Finally.
No, and I was like, oh, he must have T-Mobile service.

Speaker 1 That's what I thought. Travel is just better with T-Mobile.
You won't believe what members get on their best plans.

Speaker 1 They get amazing travel benefits, like a free year of AAA data and texting in over 215 countries and destinations. So many more, I don't have time to mention.

Speaker 1 You know, they have this magenta status benefits and perks. It is really great.
And again, it's louder, please.

Speaker 1 I don't have a lot of things in my life I can be proud of, but being a magenta status member is one of the things.

Speaker 1 Exactly. Exactly.
And it's just, what are the perks and benefits? Like I said before, uninterrupted service from the Philippines or wherever we are in the world, which is fantastic. It's a great deal.

Speaker 1 Magenta status, T-Mobile. Check it all out at t-mobile.com/slash travel.

Speaker 1 I was up half the night last night watching a World Series game. Yeah.
It was very exciting.

Speaker 1 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 1 it doesn't matter. It is Miller time.
Miller Light is brewed with simple ingredients like malted barley for rich flavor and golden color.

Speaker 1 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.
I used to just throw pig skin. Really? Chunks of pig skin.
Wow.

Speaker 1 I never had a football. Where would you find the pig? Oh, yeah.
I went to a farmer. Oh, good.
Yeah. And the pig had fallen into shredders.

Speaker 1 Anyway, back to Miller Light.

Speaker 1 Just hawking pigskin around. I like to raise a Merrill Light in the air and celebrate a great pass,

Speaker 1 throwing chunks of pigskin around.

Speaker 1 One of those nail biters. Last night's game, incredible nail biter with the Dodgers.
Incredible. So anyway, Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 1 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 1 And if they don't sell Merrill Light, turn to them and say, sir, you do not sell beer. It's Miller Time.

Speaker 1 Celebrate responsibly, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 1 You both came by it honestly, though. So why, what if you both met and maybe there's like a, you guys could kind of like argue for who gets to keep it or something like that.

Speaker 1 You know, keep what the poster. No, the poster has to stay outside the bathroom.

Speaker 1 Fight for that. That's what I was gonna say.

Speaker 1 I want that thing that's been hanging outside the men's room. No, I want it.
What do you, what world are you in? I'm in their world.

Speaker 5 Apparently, it's there in all the toy in India. Like, toy has different, it started in Bangalore, but I think it's in other cities, and they all have a corn poster corn.
You read it.

Speaker 5 So that's a thing. Well, here's what I want to do.
You should get money out of it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Please, Arjun, I'm not into monetizing things.
It's not my thing. I colonize, but I don't monetize.

Speaker 1 And I really need to moisturize.

Speaker 1 Arjun, here's what I want to do.

Speaker 1 I want

Speaker 1 because what I'd like to do is hit the town with you. And maybe, do you think that I would be a good wingman for your romantic pursuits? Or do you think I'd be a bad wingman?

Speaker 1 Would I help your game or hurt your game?

Speaker 5 I think you'll help my game. If you are in Bangalore, obviously.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Because it's a city and there are more people.

Speaker 5 And, but I don't know,

Speaker 1 there are no queer

Speaker 5 public queer spaces. Is that true? Uh, there are, there are, but it's just that maybe I don't go there, but yeah, I'm not invited.
But yeah, if we are here, we will go to a queer space.

Speaker 5 Okay, there used to be a lot of pubs before the pandemic. There used to be a lot of um bars and pubs that were queer-friendly spaces, but then they closed down unfortunately due to the pandemic.

Speaker 5 But then now I'm sure there are. There are, oh, there are drag nights at some places.
Okay. We can go.
Yeah. And oh, yeah.
And then there are improv. Improv is becoming a thing in Bangladesh.

Speaker 5 Never, it never used to be a thing. It started becoming a thing recently.
And I went to a workshop, was so cringe. I loved it.
So I feel like it can take you back to your olden days.

Speaker 1 Yes. I would love that.
I would love to. I mean,

Speaker 1 I would like the idea of going to any place that you want to go. And

Speaker 1 it would be fun. It would be fun to.
I have a serious question which is

Speaker 1 uh because i'm not aware it is is there acceptance of the queer community in india is that is is there a growing acceptance do you feel uh comfortable yeah i mean i mean i live in a bubble i live in a city so um it's pretty

Speaker 5 things seem very okay to me yeah but when you go to other places things may be a little different but again i'm you know in a bubble my family my friends are all pretty cool with things.

Speaker 1 That's good.

Speaker 5 So, yeah, they're fine. But otherwise, yeah, it's not a huge deal, I'd assume, especially for your audience in India.

Speaker 5 Because even if you shoot something that is extremely queer and put it out there, it'll be your fans in India who will be seeing it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 5 And your fans are inherently nice people.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's nice to know.

Speaker 1 Gee, what do they find out? I'm not.

Speaker 1 We'll get to that later. Find out.
I think find out.

Speaker 1 I'm the only homepage lines. Oh, I forgot you guys are reading all the threads, reading all the comments.
Monster.

Speaker 1 Freak.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 Arjun, you seem like a very nice person, and it would be, I'd enjoy hanging out with you. And

Speaker 1 so maybe we can make that work out. I don't know.
You know, we never know. I'm just trying to think if you as a wingman is a positive or like, how would you help him? What would be your method?

Speaker 1 well first first of all i clean up real nice when i want to okay

Speaker 1 i think um

Speaker 1 and uh i've had you know many many many gay men tell me that i'm their fantasy

Speaker 1 um and i i just made that up but yeah that's your fantasy my fantasy is that i'm their fantasy yes

Speaker 5 yes isn't that how it works it actually I wanted to know how famous you are or the impact you had in the queer community. So I did like an AI deep research thing,

Speaker 5 hoping that I'll find something funny. Like, oh, this fun thing that he did is huge in the queer community.
But it's all very sweet.

Speaker 5 So, yeah, so there is nothing

Speaker 5 you are known to be very consistent

Speaker 5 and

Speaker 5 kind. That's nice.
Why am I being so nice? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I know. Don't worry.

Speaker 1 We can fix this with AI later on and make it really mean and snarky. Please.

Speaker 1 Well, Arjun,

Speaker 1 I think I'd be a good wingman for Arjun. I think, first of all,

Speaker 1 you have to look at me. You can't look away.

Speaker 1 That's true. And I think I would draw a crowd.
And that's even if people don't know who I am, they think, oh my God, what is that thing that just came in? We've got a couple of minutes here.

Speaker 1 I'm at a bar. You're his wingman.
You guys are there. We're at Toit.
Yep. Toit.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Toit. And I'm just alone.
I'm drinking, drinking.

Speaker 1 What's your name? My name is Matt.

Speaker 1 In this scenario, your name is Matt. No, my name is Chandler.
Chandless? Yes.

Speaker 1 Do you think that's an Indian name? No, I'm just

Speaker 1 give us a good Indian name, Arjun. Common.

Speaker 5 You can be Matt. There are Matt dues.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 In India, thank you.

Speaker 1 Arjun. Actually, we don't need you.
We're getting along just fine.

Speaker 1 Oh, well, let's say, Arjun, let's do it a little improv right now. You and I have our drinks in hand.
What are you drinking there, Arjun? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Beer. Doink beer.
Okay.

Speaker 1 We're going to get you an improv class before I come. That was a 20-minute pause, and then you picked the most obvious thing.

Speaker 1 Well, I have an Apple teeny. I have an Apple Tini that I brought with me on the plane.

Speaker 5 I was going to say Deut doesn't have Apple Tini.

Speaker 1 No, no, I brought my own. I always bring my own.

Speaker 1 So Arjun and I walk up, and hey, what's your name? My name is Rishi. Rishi? Good to see you.

Speaker 1 You seem like a Matt to me, but we'll go with Rishi.

Speaker 1 Rishi, this is Arjun. He's my friend.
And I'm Conan O'Brien, but you probably knew that.

Speaker 1 Oh, mistake.

Speaker 1 What's going on? Well, I'm just here alone.

Speaker 1 Just recently got out of a relationship. And

Speaker 1 I feel like I'm independently minded and not sad about being in that relationship, but I'm open and my heart's ready for love. Wow, incredible.
Well, guess what?

Speaker 1 I've been married for like 23 years. I hope I got that right.
Arjun,

Speaker 1 I think he's single right now.

Speaker 5 Maybe you two have something to talk about arjun have you met my friend rishi i'm not single actually what oh yeah i'm married to a man and he is very supportive

Speaker 1 wait a minute what's going on why would you set me up for this heartbreak sir i'm

Speaker 1 sitting here alone rishi you put me through this kind of mental roller coaster i'm dying rishi i'm wondering if you're up for a thrupple oh plot twist plot twist oh wait arjun i i thought you were single

Speaker 5 no he's very supportive.

Speaker 5 Even when I wanted to do this, he was behind me, like literally, like behind me.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 come on.

Speaker 5 I practiced that bit, and then I forgot that I said I was single.

Speaker 1 For the listener, he just moved his chair, and there's a nice picture of Pedro Pascal back there. Oh, yeah.
So Pedro Pascal is who you're married to in your mind, right?

Speaker 1 Well, I have to now alert Pedro Pascal because this is very worrisome.

Speaker 1 Wow. Okay.
Well,

Speaker 1 you just broke a big rule in improv, which is you said no.

Speaker 5 Yes, and

Speaker 1 too lucky. Yes, and I'm not available for a relationship.

Speaker 1 Do you want to stick with in this scenario that you're with Pedro Pascal or do you want to now go with your single?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I want to know how much Rishi wants me.

Speaker 1 Okay. So regardless of my situation.
Rishi, I want to apologize for my friend who seems borderline insane.

Speaker 1 He's not with Pedro Pascal, and he just said that. That's his sense of humor a bit, but boy, he's a lot of fun.
Why don't you two talk? Well, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to have a scoop of my apple teeny. While you guys were going through all that, actually, Pedro Pascal called me, and we've entered a relationship.

Speaker 1 So I'm sorry to say this is going to work out.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Oh, no.
Well,

Speaker 5 you just wasted both of our time.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I think that's you too, Archie.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 1 I got to actually side with you there.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Oh, I'll jump in here.

Speaker 2 I'm Pedro Pascal.

Speaker 1 Hey!

Speaker 1 Look at Pedro Pascal. Hey, maybe slowly.

You seem like a very cool person, and I think we'd have a fun time.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much. Thank you very much.
And so, all of you.

Is it?

Speaker 1 Yes, Arjun.

Speaker 5 Nice talking to all of you.
