Hey, guys. Spring cleaning time.
Let's start with your mop. Because that overgrown winter hair ain't doing you any favors.
You look like Mo from the Three Stooges. It's sport, it's an old reference, but look it up.
It's sport clips, haircuts. They've got pro stylists who know men's hair.
TV's playing sports 24 seven in a place built for guys. That's right, guys to get a great cut without the hassle.
No appointments, no stress. You just wander in fresh cut in a place that for guys.
That's right, guys, to get a great cut without the hassle.

No appointments, no stress.

You just wander in, fresh cut,

in a place that's made for you, dudes.

Yeah, bros.

Yeah, high fives all around,

started hey max welcome to conan o'brien needs a fan hey david hey max how are you i'm trying to stay warm oh okay uh well you're indoors do you not have heating what's going on uh i guess that hasn't made its way to my part of the country yet where are you sir where are you right now i'm in fargo north dakota ah fargo yeah okay that's my favorite movie by the way uh one of it really is one of my favorite movies i love i love fargo um i wish you talked like that in the movie if it's my deal here g hey wait well hey wait no this is my deal here see no no we talked about some incentive for me to talk like margie yeah's okay. Well, no, we're not going to get into some sort of sex game.
That's not going to happen. Do you want money? We'll send you.
You can Venmo him. No, no, no.
I'm not giving him any money for this. I think it's just an excuse for me to say, it's my deal here, Wade.
No, no. I mean, I'm sorry.
What accent is that? It's Fargo. It's Fargo.
Are you sure? I'm sure. Hey, you know, I'm sorry.
You don't sound at all like anyone from the movie Fargo. I don't know if I agree with your police work 100% there, Lou.
Hey! Yay! Yay! Max! See, what I was doing was a trick to get you to do that. It worked.
And my bad Fargo accent brought out your good one. And so I win this round.
I love that. I love that.
Now you don't owe me any money. So, Max, what do you do? What's your, besides living in an apartment that has no central heating, what do you do with yourself, my friend? I'm a meteorologist cool that's cool and and uh you're a meteorologist are you on the radio are you on television where do you do your meteorology i am on television i'm on the fox affiliated tv station in fargo oh very cool um and because it's fox do they encourage you to put like a political slant on? Like, oh, there's a bad storm coming from the left wing.
Oh, the left wing. The left wing.
From the left wing. Yeah, the left wing of the state.
There's a bad kooky storm, but don't worry. Now it's becoming Irish.
It's my deal here. Hey, no, no, wait.
We talked about it. It's my deal here.
If I stick to my deal here, I think I got the accent. Just repeat that over and over again.
Yeah, I think so. Okay.
Like you're from the Midwest. Oh, wait, you are.
You're from Southern Illinois. Yeah, it's true.
Max, I'm sorry. You're a meteorologist and I'm going to try to bring some sanity.
I think you've upended this conversation with your nonsense. I think that's a load of bullshit.
Okay. Hey.
Wow. Jesus.
All right. You just take it easy.
You're a meteorologist. I'm on TV.
I don't have to take this. Okay.
You're right. I have the highest respect for you, Max.
I think you've lost control. You've lost the feeling in your extremities from the severe cold.
So you are in the studio. You are doing the weather.
Is the weather usually the same in Fargo? Does it get boring? You know, there's that old joke about it's really boring to be a weatherman in Los Angeles because it's always 72 degrees and fairly pleasant. What about in Fargo? It's we do have the periods where it'll get a little bit boring but those are fairly few and far between right now it's you know we've got almost 60 mile an hour wind gusts and blizzard warnings so it's uh you know it's a good weather day to be a meteorologist but not a good day for pretty much anyone else who wants to do anything around town because it's not right it's not great Well, bad luck for other people is good luck for you because you get to say.
Yeah, pretty much. Oh, it's a big storm coming there, Wade.
I'm going to keep going at it. I'm going to keep going at it.
There's no way to stop me. So, okay, what kind of, do you get outside the studio much? I mean, are you mostly there in front of the green screen pointing to things like low pressure system, high pressure system, uh, snowflakes, that kind of thing? Yeah.
Each individual snowflake that comes down, I'm typically outside the studio point. And here's one, here's two.
Okay. Listen to me, you son of a bitch.
I'm going to climb through this microphone and come and get you. You understand me? Don't you sass me, young man.
All right? I'm 98 years old. I've served this country bravely in World War II and you're going to treat me with respect.
None of your sass now. This is my deal here, Wade.
Oh no. Oh my Lord.
Oh no. Make it stop.
I'm in front of the green screen most of the time. Right.
And do you have to ad lib a lot?

Is that because sometimes I would think you're there and I don't mean to put down your anchor because I don't know who your anchor is.

But what if your anchor just is trying to be funny and you got to kind of have to play off your anchor who I'm just assuming is, you know, he's come on.

You're a funny guy, Max.

You're calling in.

You're clearly a fan.

You've already had some good quips.

You put me in my place.

What if your anchor is like and you have to deal with that? What do you do? Fortunately, that hasn't happened too frequently. But when you're on air, it's always professional.
And I have no experience with that. I don't know what you're talking about, Max.
Stick with me, baby. You're going to learn some things um and one thing you know the news anchors when they're reading the news they're reading off of script they're reading off a prompter when i'm doing the weather it's all free form it's all exactly exactly my head you're going commando right there's uh no no seriously you're letting you're letting the old pendulum swing if you you know what I mean.
Those guys are locked in. They're just locked in.
Now the weather, you know, and they'll read it. You know what I mean? That's what it is.
It's like the movie Anchorman. You just put it on the prompter and they'll read it.
Do you get outside the studio much? Do you ever get a chance to get outside and have some excitement? Well, every once in a while for work, I'll do the weather from outside. But when I'm not working, especially when it's warm out in spring, summer, something I really, really like to do.
And as I've been doing for a while, is I go storm chasing. I go driving around looking for tornadoes.

Oh, really?

That's cool. I've never talked to someone who really does that.
Of course, there are the famous iconic movies about storm chasing. How inaccurate are those movies? I'm guessing they are fairly inaccurate.
Well, the original Twister, they take a lot of liberties with it. The newest one is a little bit more accurate, but it's definitely not just jam packed balls to the wall action 24 seven.
It's, it's more so, um, you know, you're, you're spending a lot of time in a car, just driving around. Or if you're just hanging out in a field, playing catch with a baseball, waiting for storms to go up.
But then it's that 1% when the storms are actually going up. That is just the sheer adrenaline rush of storm chasing.
Okay, Max, paint the picture for me. You hear there's a tornado or the conditions are right for a tornado.
And then it comes in over the radio. The tornado is setting down over near, you know, Cobbler's Grove.
And you say, let's go, gang. and you all hit the gas, and you head towards the tornado.
Is that correct? Yeah. Whoa, look at that.
Is that something you just got off online, or? No, believe it or not, I took this. So you took that photo, and you got that close to a tornado.
Now, what if that thing had suddenly started heading, you know, the way when a bear attacks you, if it's a black bear, you're supposed to do this. If it's a brown bear, you're supposed to do that.
What do you do if you think a tornado is headed your way? Is there something I should know that might save my life in the future? The biggest thing is if you're not sure if the tornado is heading your way or not, is to find a stationary object and just have the tornado in relation to that stationary object,

line it up.

And if the tornado is moving to the right of that object, it's going to pass to your right.

If it's moving to the left of that object, it's going to pass to your left.

But if it just appears to be getting bigger, it's coming straight at you.

Right.

And that's not good news. Now, that means you just got to book it bigger it's coming straight at you right and that's not good news now that means you you just gotta book it okay let me ask you a question because this this is something that i've thought about and i think about a lot of things i'm a thoughtful man and uh so i've heard um when you know when there's a big wave coming towards you you can try to run away from it but that's the worst thing you can do.
Sometimes you should turn and you should dive into the wave. Would it ever be a good idea? Let me finish.
You don't know where I'm going with this. To dive into the tornado.
Will? No, and just go with it and like ascend, ascend, ascend. And there's cows swirling around you, moo, moo.
And there's other people from Fargo. It's my deal here, Wade.
No, Wade, it's my, hey, no, Wade, I talk to these guys. They mean business.
It's my deal here, Wade. And moo, moo.
And you just ascend through them. Is that a possibility? I'm surprised you left out Dorothy and Toto in that analogy as well.
There's not as much fun as Fargo. You know, it's just not as much fun.
Yeah, they're old moves. Yeah.
HBO's biggest series, The Last of Us, returns with a new season on Mac, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The show picks up five years after the events of the first season as Joel and Ellie are drawn into conflict with each other in a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
CNN calls The Last of Us exquisite, fully realized, and worthy of the hype, and The Daily Beast calls it a riveting and suspenseful triumph. I did really like the first season.
Based on the groundbreaking video game, the Emmy-winning HBO original series, The Last of Us, premieres Sunday, April 13th at 9 p.m. on Max.

The best B2B marketing gets wasted on the wrong people.

This makes me nuts, Blay.

Yes, me too. Me too.
Have you ever been served an ad that wasn't intended for you? All the time. You know, for a while, I kept getting ads for expensive pots.
And guess what? I don't cook. I have never cooked anything.
I once tried to just boil some ramen and guess what happened? There was an explosion and three buildings were destroyed. Oh my God.
So when this, that was that ad should never have gone to me for a special pot. It's a lot of buildings.
Yeah. A lot of buildings went and I had to flee the country for a while.

And that's where it stands apart from other ad buyers. Have they got a billion? I don't think so, buddy boy.

Come on, get your head in the game. Start targeting the right professionals only on LinkedIn ads.
LinkedIn will even give you a $100 credit on your next campaign so you can try it yourself. Just go to linkedin.com slash team cocoa.

well you know what conan you can come out storm chasing and we'll let you dive into a tornado and we'll see how it goes um i would first of all i would do it because i am very i i do anything for a bit and if it's for a bit and i think it'll it'll make people happy i'll do it and And you'll just find a red wig later on and some bits of flesh.

That's fascinating that you go chasing after the storms and you don't feel endangered when you're doing that. Even if you see a tornado, you think, oh, it's a pretty good chance it's not going to come our way.
No, I've been doing it long enough where I have a pretty good handling on being able to look at what I'm seeing in front of me and know if I'm in a good position or in bad position that, you know, there's been a couple of times where, uh, you know, maybe we're rolling into a town and we're getting reports that the tornado is rolling into the same town we're driving through, but we can't see as much because there's trees, there's hills, and we've got to try to find somewhere to get visual of the tornado. Those moments are definitely a lot more scary just because you can't see it.
You don't know where it is and you're trying to get visual on it. Those are definitely when the blood pressure kind of goes up a little bit more.
Isn't there an app that will tell you where the tornado is? And there's an app for everything. And if there isn't, you should invent one.
But there should be an app that tells you there's a tornado and it's six feet that way. And there's a little arrow.
Well, I don't know if it can be that precise. But there are, you know, when we're chasing, I've got the weather radar in front of me and I can see where we are in position in relation to the storm.
I've got the National Weather Service chat room open so I can see what other meteorologists are saying. So that's always a big help.
But until you can actually see it for yourself, because weather radar can only go so far, especially if you're far away from a radar. Gotcha.
You're not getting the best picture. You can't just rely on, I'm guessing it's a yeah yeah yeah you know the terms well whatever i pretty much helped invent the technology oh you're that conan yes oh conan orion oh conan doppler orion okay um you uh you seem like a happy chappy, Max.
Life good?

Is life good for you?

You enjoy your life?

You're a young fellow.

You're part of a proud guild of meteorologists.

It's, I don't know.

I'm impressed.

I mean, you're, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Sometimes you think, oh, you're going to talk to a meteorologist,

going to be some crusty 65-year-old guy who's like,

I remember the tornado of 57. I'm like, oh again but look at you you're a very young guy and uh this is this is pretty cool how did you know what tornado went through fargo in 1957 i know a lot about tornadoes and i know a lot about fargo yeah yeah and fargo except how to do an accent oh i think my accent is so, it scares the shit out of you.
And I'll be honest with you. I can tell you, I can see the color drain from you every time I go, that's right.
Hey, it's my dealer, Wade. There it is.
There goes the color. I just live in Fargo, so I'm very, very white.
Do you have family? What's going on in your life, your social life? So I grew up in the Twin Cities. It's pretty close by a couple hour drive into Minnesota.
So most of my family is in the Twin Cities. So get home when I can, basically.
It's not always easy to get home, see my family. But otherwise, you know, it's when I'm around town here in Fargo, it's I've got I'm really big into photography.
So I'm taking pictures and that's, you know, obviously you saw the photo that I took. I'm taking pictures of the storms.
And and then this past summer, I got really big into starting to take film photography as well. Oh, okay.
I'm just curious.

Do you ever get together with the other meteorologists?

I mean, and is there a rivalry?

There must be other meteorologists in town from other stations. And is there rivalry between you guys?

Yeah.

Well, you've seen Fight Club, right?

Yeah.

Sure.

I love this already.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, the first two rules is I can't talk about it.

Sure. Sure.
But I'll let your imagination kind of wrong. Orade first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club i'm sorry i just wanted to put a little fargo spin on it um we punch each other and then say sorry yeah sorry uh all right so sounds like life is good Do you have a question for me? Is there a way I can help you? I'd like to help you, Max, in any way that I can.
I'd like to use what skills I have. I'm a humble man, as you can tell.
All humble men. Yep.
That's a sign of a humble man when they tell you. Yep.
well i'm gonna i'm gonna maybe break the rules a little bit i'm gonna ask two questions because i think you're probably not going to have a great answer for the first one that i'm probably not going to use you have any okay go ahead uh any advice to kind of spice up maybe my on-air weather forecasting oh um well uh first of all uh what are you wearing when you do the weather forecasting clothes no but come on what are you wearing how are you dressed suit you wear a suit do you have to wear a suit i mean you're a young guy and you're and and times are changing fast and you're working on a local station and you might want to make a splash. You might want to jazz it up a little bit.
Maybe you want to go with something, I don't know, a little more au courant. You know what I'm saying? Maybe you want to dress more like you would out on the street or out if you're going to a club.
There must be a cool club near you. He said, not sure at all that there was.
You might like a shiny shirt, something or whatever, you know, a hoodie or whatever. I mean, you've got to, what you have to do is separate yourself from all the other people in suits that are saying that there's an ice storm moving in and it's going to be cold tomorrow.
You've got to pop. And if that means you get some fashion forward glasses a la Jeff Goldblum, whatever you've got to do, you should do do that is in my opinion.
And you said my first answer was going to blow, but it didn't. It's exactly what you should do.
Not that you're not rocking the world right now in your black t-shirt, but let me tell you something, buddy boy, if you want to make it, you've got to shake things up a little bit. I'm surprised.
That was surprisingly better than what I thought I was going to get. I thought I was going to be, you know, don't wear pants and underwear.
Something like that. No, I'm not some perv, you know? You mentioned it earlier.
You're the guy chasing storms around. They probably have a restraining order out against you.
The storms have a restraining order? Yeah, there's a tornado that's like, they can talk. They're like, God, that creep is, Paperwork starts flying out.
I'm just trying to fly some cows around. It's that creep again in his van, taking a picture of me.
Storm chaser. Storm perv, more like it.
All right, Max, you get one more question. All right.
Conan, when are you coming out going storm chasing with me? Well, not that you don't make it very enticing because you've pretty much explained to me that nothing happens 99% of the time and most of your crips have been insults. So I'm coming out right away.
Maybe he has like good snacks in the car while you sit and wait I mean that's the problem is I would go storm chasing with you but I have a feeling that how are we going to time this when is good tornado season is it the spring? summer? yeah April, May, June okay I'm going to lock off those three months I'm going to get a best Western in downtown Fargo. I'm going to walk around

going,

it's my deal here, Wade.

And

and then

we'll wait

for something to happen

and then we'll jump in the

you and I can jump

in the van together.

Haven't said that in a while.

Oh,

sorry.

And fire up

the old Doppler.

Is it a 1780?

What kind of Doppler is it?

What do you got there? It's I got the 1800 model. Those are fantastic.
Those are great. Yeah.
Just make sure. Well, you probably have already looked into it.
You got to use the correct megahertz. Max, I'm going to sign off now.
It was very nice talking to you. And I like the cut of your jib.
You seem like a fine lad. Really think seriously about what I said about changing it up a little bit.
Dressing, little fashion forward. Separate yourself from the herd is what I'm going to say.
Because the rest of that people, people in that station are going down, going down hard. You want to survive.
Okay. You're young and accentuate your youth.
That's what I say to you. I'm a survivor.
You're a survivor. Exactly.
All right. I think we're good here.
Okay. You're young and accentuate your youth.
That's what I say to you. I'm a survivor.
You're a survivor.

Exactly.

All right.

I think we're good here.

Okay.

I'm going to ask you to go and look into some indoor heating if that's possible.

We'll see.

And then maybe.

We'll see about that.

Some people like a cold.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm not one of them.

No.

Not at all.

Not at all.

I think it's good to have, especially in Fargo, probably some kind of heating uh because the alternative is death um max i hope you survive the winter and i sincerely doubt you will yeah uh but if not i'll come by when we'll chop you up into slices and use chunks of your flesh to cool our drinks um max tell my family i love them well i don't know them and i not sure you do. Max, I'm ending this.
I tried. I've tried several times to end it, and I just want you to say, and if we go out on one thing, it's- It's my deal here, Wade.
Oh, my God. Thanks, Max.
