I remember very. well the first time I met you would have. been when I was towards the end of my. original show The Late Night show in New. York I was very excited vampire. weekend's first album had come out and. it just hit me over the head in in the. best way and I have very clear memories. of you know being nervous about I got to. move out to LA there's a lot of unknown. stuff coming my way I'm I'm trans out of.

this job I've had for 16 years and then. your guys album came along and listening. to those songs and walking around the. upper west side of New York and just. being so happy I just loved the music so. much and then heard that you guys were. booked to come on the show and I was. excited the way a fan would be excited. you know not um yes yes you know that's. how you normally are normally I'm like. Mr Burns yes yes this isck R will keep.

those those youngsters. happy Ken is it hey is that the name. Ezra he how do I know that name anyway I. was very uh I was very happy and you. guys uh came on and again in that. situation we didn't really get to talk. right but then um go through that whole. Tonight Show Madness and I go on tour. Sona joins was with me for the tour and. I forget where where we were but I heard.

that you guys were willing to come and. uh I think um I I know for a fact that. you did Walcott at Radio City you did. you did Walcott at Radio City and I was. so excited about that because um that's. one of my favorite cuts on that album. and. I when you guys said yeah would you play. wall cut with us I was everyone kept. trying to talk to me about the comedy. that we were going to doing and I was.

like shut up shut up shut up i' be. playing with Vampire Weekend I got to. get this right you know like oh yeah but. we're going to really turn you. down a lot so you don't it up but. anyway that was a big deal for me was. very meaningful to us too yeah it was a. lot of fun oh we're grow we're growing. up we're huge fans of yours and you. really are like our Target. demographic that's the nicest thing. anyone's ever said to me you. specifically just Conan o'b no but even.

guy a guy from Boston walking around the. upper west side when I think about the. early albums and like the imagery and. how yes the our kind of like love of the. East Coast or forget about love just. Heritage like East Coast band yeah and. but also uh also some of the references. uh to well especially in walcot you know. you're Cape Cod and uh I mean I I just I. so distinctly remember listening to that. album and and getting hooked on you guys. and then been a fan uh ever since and so.

happy that you could come in and I also. got to hang with you um our mutual. friend Rashida uh you're more than. friends but have you met Rashida yes. mutual friend you're both married to her. what's going on Mutual wife yeah uh but. I remembered you guys came over once and. um we sat out on the deck we were. looking at the beach uh I think at the.

time we my wife and I and kids had this. place in carp and you guys came by. Carpenteria California and it was on the. water and you guys came over and you. introduced me to White claw I remember. you and Rashida brought white claw and I. didn't know what it was was that a big. mistake you've been pounding pounding. the. claw I need my white claw I've been in. rehab 11. times each for a different flavor but. remember you guys you came up the steps. yeah that's right it was really small.

house and you and rashido came up the. steps you went we brought white claw and. I thought what's white claw and you went. try it and I thought it was going to be. and what I remembered is you need to. drink a lot of white claws before you. get a buzz that's what I remember mostly. yeah it's it's like a beer maybe even. lighter than a be I think it's less. alcohol than a beer it's funny I. remember that we brought White Club but. it's not like we're we drink it often we. must have I think at the time I I was I. was particularly interested in White. Cloud because that was the summer that. there was this stat going around the.

music industry and probably the beverage. industry that whiteclaw had outsold beer. at La La paloa that summer so I think I. was like well that's interesting I'm. like curious about it so we must have. been talking more about whiteclaw and. yeah I don't know that was probably the. last time we drank white I was afraid. that you did that because you thought. Rashida said we're going to go see con. or Bron and you thought oh then we need. to bring. alcohol that it was some weird Irish. slam cuz you also brought potatoes Right.

charm and P and Lucky Charms pants made. of. burlap and a shovel you know that was. just it was just white claw season and I. think we just all wanted to get in on. the fun there was that one summer that. was a white cloth they talk about brat. summer that there was like a whiteclaw. summer what was it and and by the way we. are not getting any money from whiteclaw. what was it we'll take it we'll take or. some free white claw but did kids like. it because it had less I think it had. less.

lightly alcoholic Seltzer yeah I think. it's low calorie um tastes great uh well. and also since then there's I remember. you kept saying Conan you should really. drink low calorie drinks if you're going. to stay on television I remember that. very clearly that's why we brought it. I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure it's still. huge and and there are uh there are a. lot of competitors now yeah uh so so. whether or not uh White claws still on. top I I pray they are because because. but but whether or not white claws still. on top they clearly uh tapped into uh a.

need in the marketplace which now. everybody from Topo Chico yes to any. sparkling water you can think of has has. entered yes well uh I love that your. interest in music expands to what will. people be drinking who are in the. audience like that's cool that it's not. just the writing and the singing and. producing and the playing of the music. but you're also thinking about what are. they drinking what are they having yeah. I know I'm very I'm very into Beverages.

and beverage history and seating. arrangements yeah things of that. nature you study the seating before you. play Anywhere make sure it's uh it's. just right who are the ushers tonight is. it that one guy yeah I don't like that. guy it's got to be perfect I don't want. him on the aisle.
