Sona Vows To Drink In Moderation During This Year’s “Summer S’mores” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

hello there fans and welcome I said that. with such bitterness yes hello there. fans welcome to Summer s'mores another. installment of Summer Sports and I say I. think I said fans because I think this. is one for the real hardcore fans yeah. because. um I'm not I'm not trying to shoe anyone. else away I invite you to experience. this but uh this is kind of something. special we do around this time of year. and. um it's taken on a life of its own Matt. refresh my memory how did this all get.

started in your opinion well the first. year of this podcast we did a special. summer series with Dana Carvey called. Deep dive with Dana Carter yes then the. next year we at this point we had. already had an argument about s'mores. and and Conan and I were absolutely. correct in that they're an overrated. dessert and Sony you did your best to. defend an indefensible situation yeah. that s'mores were something people. actually liked two dry shingles with. some tasteless goo jammed in between. Chase's goo is marshmallow and chocolate.

two of the greatest. usually a very inferior grade of. chocolate but anyway the summer series. where we debated that right and then and. that took off uh and guess what the. overwhelming consensus online uh was. that we were correct. online what are you doing I went online. earlier today is not that Abacus. yes you don't read stuff about the show. you it's not like you're looking at. comments I've got my finger on the pulse. he has people for that I have people for.

that I have three AI Bots that tell me. what's going on I don't know what to do. with a I also make my scrambled eggs in. the morning oh wait that's that's my. servant Worcestershire. um Matt yeah and then because we called. it summer s'mores we decided let's do. one because we were debating summer. s'mores so much we decided let's let's. do one in your backyard field tested a. field tested yeah so we took a year off. for the pandemic then we did that we. took a year out from the pandemic well.

you took a year off I uh did my best to. create a cure I worked very hard with. various scientists it turns out I'm not. a medical professional right right we. could have told you that yeah everybody. could have told I wish someone had I. went and bought a lab coat at a. Halloween store oh and said let me in. here I can fix this kovid you put on. your doctor voice and they still didn't. thank you well that's not my doctor. voice that's my newsman voice and that. was one of the problems can I hear your. doctor I kept throwing to traffic and.

weather my doctor voices hmm yeah yeah. hard to believe no one would trust me. yes kovitz yes. I'll need my microscope in my various. implements. so uh we took some time off or you did I. worked hard to save us all I did I think. in my own way yeah and then we went into. your backyard and we had a cookout and. we made some s'mores so that we could. really test whether or not we liked them.

or not I thought again these were. perfectly normal s'mores made the way. most people make s'mores my opinion did. not change I didn't find them to be. tasty at all what about you no my if. anything it was reinforced and just it. was decisive yeah decisive it was just. awful Sona did you like the s'mores we. had loved them I could have had 40. right can I just say can I just say one. thing this disqualifies you a little bit. which is after you ate the last s'more I. heard you saying Yum Yum Yum this is. good too and I looked over and you were.

chewing on a a rock that you had found. at the base of an oak tree yeah and you. also had a bowl of our garden mulch yeah. at one point you said this is also good. and then you said yummy yummy yummy what. good pasta you were eating a garden hose. I didn't know you two were like. it's a good thing he had that glue trap. because.

best way to catch a rat it's with a glue. trap uh anyway I hate this so far well. listen it's gonna get a lot better but. then for you much worse okay so we did. that last and and people seem to really. enjoy that we were really outside and we. loved it and then we were thinking what. do we do this summer since the s'mores. debate's been settled yeah they didn't. need to cover that we didn't need to. cover that anymore but let's say we. wanted to move on from we do move we did. we we did yeah we did okay we did want. to move on from s'mores right good Sona. speech Champion yeah and you've moved on.

from the English language yeah you moved. on from enunciating but anyway uh we. decided let's let's try something a. little different this year and the first. decision we made which I think is going. to work out we haven't done it yet but. what we're going to do is we have this. very nice facility here in the Larchmont. area of Los Angeles uh where we do our. podcasting there's editing facilities. it's a great place to hang guests that. come on the show where they like to be. here and we have an uh an outdoor area.

it's quite lovely and so we thought what. if we do it sheer Outdoors at night and. record it over several sessions and. maybe switch it up a little bit but try. and recapture some of that magic from. last summer so um what do you think Matt. do you think this is going to be a good. idea I think it's a great idea that. um the outdoor deck is just literally. right outside this door it's beautiful. it's when you say this store of course. this is an audio medium let me tell the. people that he's gesturing to a tour. right here in the studio. this door imply that there is a door.

yeah there are hinges and it opens and. there is a knob. when you walk through it and it enters. you enter another area familiar with. what a door is oh I'm quite familiar. with what a door is yes and I'll be. escorting you through one in about five. minutes it goes. there's a door in the studio that goes. right to this very nice just said that. in this studio yes can I ask will Matt. be making drinks this time because last. year everyone got a well everyone minus. Conan I was I was I showed a lot of.

moderation last year full tea totally. well but I I'm a professional I am I'm a. professional and uh last year last year. Matt what did you make last year it was. amazing I made uh the chilled Chum yeah. and tell us what it was it it was. bourbon pomegranate juice ginger beer I. think maybe a little lemon and then as. you put it pulverized Mouse Hearts but. the rest modeled straight there was. little chunks of what looked like. shredded mice hearts in there but.

um I don't care what it was it was. delicious yeah very good I now here's. what I'm gonna say I don't go too crazy. so I took it slow. um you got yourself I would say you got. yourself into a happy place but you. weren't out of control good and tight. Sona I'm gonna say this you don't even. have to have that much no and you get. wasted and I remember this from the. years and years of us touring doing. shows in other cities traveling around.

if we ever hit a bar you would have one. glass of white wine that was it and. you'd be making out with a parking meter. okay making out with a parking no I. wouldn't I'm talking about a very good. looking Park oh okay then yeah. uh yeah and my tolerance is though it's. gotten even lower because I don't drink. that often now I I partake in uh you. know kind of kind of kind of buy can I. buy weed pot.

Jazz cigarettes weed pot wheat pot. so uh so that's so your tolerance is. even lower so we just have to watch it. this year yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna I'm. gonna be much more uh responsible than I. was last year possibly yeah let's just. see what happens I will I'm gonna my I'm. gonna uh. what's the word moderate you don't even. know the word it's not in your. dictionary it's myself have you done. some pre-gaming no no I wish I I did.
