This

0:03

episode brought to you by Hulu presenting all new episodes

0:06

of how I met your father, this season

0:08

Sophie and the gang take on big changes to their careers

0:10

and their loves lives as they stumble into their thirties.

0:13

For me, that was fifty years ago. Anyway, figuring

0:15

out life Through trial and error isn't

0:17

easy, but there's nothing you can't get through with friendship.

0:19

And plenty of laughs. Watch season two if I met

0:21

your father, new episodes, Tuesday, streaming

0:23

only on Hulu.

0:29

You know, maybe it's me, but I

0:32

think it's really getting hard to disconnect.

0:34

Don't you, Sona? Yeah. I mean Expedia

0:37

wants thanks. Expedia wants travelers

0:39

to embrace doing nothing on vacation. Because

0:42

nothing is really something. Expedia

0:44

wants to help you do more nothing.

0:47

Yeah. One way they're doing this is through

0:49

their price drop protection. When you purchase

0:51

a flight, you can add price

0:54

drop protection. This feature

0:56

means Expedia paves you back if

0:58

your flight becomes

0:59

cheaper. Wow. What?

1:00

Incredible. That's all. I wanna do

1:03

that. Well, you're

1:03

my assistant. You should make sure that

1:05

I'm keeping an eye on this.

1:07

If they give you money back, I'll just take it.

1:09

That's true. You do embezzle Yeah. So anytime

1:11

before you actually leave, if the price of

1:13

your flight goes down, you get

1:15

automatically refunded the difference.

1:18

It's pretty That's insane. Pretty easy.

1:20

Just another way that Expedia wants

1:22

you to do less and bring you closer to

1:25

doing nothing while on

1:27

vacation. I love doing nothing.

1:28

Me That's all I wanna do.

1:29

My wife says I'm very good at doing nothing.

1:31

That sounds It's an insult. Yeah. Yeah.

1:34

Nothing. It really is something. Download

1:36

the Expedia app and book your Next Travel

1:38

to go do more nothing.

1:54

Hi, Adam. Meet Conan and

1:56

Sona. Hi. Hi. Hi, Adam.

1:58

Hi,

1:59

Kona and I Sona. Hi, Matt.

2:00

Hi. Hey, Dom. It's very nice to

2:03

meet you. And where are you right now? Where are you

2:05

calling us from?

2:05

I'm calling from Addisaba by Ethiopia.

2:08

Oh, the capital of Ethiopia.

2:09

Yes. Wow. That's incredible. I've never

2:12

been to Ethiopia. Oh, you

2:14

should come. Have you your English

2:16

is

2:17

it seems perfect. Have you spent

2:19

any time in the United States?

2:21

Yes. I I went to college

2:24

in upstate New York. Oh,

2:25

you're kidding. Where'd you go to college? I mean, I grew

2:26

up here. I went to Hamilton

2:29

College -- Oh, okay. -- in Clinton, New York.

2:31

Very good. Okay. And and then you

2:33

so you grew up in in Ethiopia,

2:36

You did some college in the United States,

2:39

and then you moved back. And what are you up to

2:41

these days? I have a business

2:43

with my friend. We make fragrances

2:46

and scented candles and fun

2:48

stuff like that. Wow. How did you

2:50

how did you learn to do this? I

2:52

mean, don't you need to know a lot to make fragrances?

2:57

Yes. I'm very smart.

3:00

I'm sure you are. But I'm wondering, did you

3:02

have to study anything in particular? Do you have

3:04

to study chemistry? Or do you have to Mhmm.

3:06

Yeah. I did. I studied biochemistry. So

3:09

it helps a little bit, but I mean, I had

3:11

to, like, learn a lot of it on my own too.

3:13

I imagine. You have to a lot of trial and error

3:15

where you try and make -- Mhmm. --

3:17

a scent and

3:19

and it can go terribly wrong, I bet.

3:21

Right? Oh, yeah.

3:24

Well, some of these ingredients for

3:26

perfumes, like, they don't really smell that

3:28

good. So, yeah, if

3:31

you use a lot of something, then,

3:33

yeah, can be

3:33

terrible. Let me ask you professional

3:36

opinion. As you know in the United States

3:38

and across the world, sometimes

3:40

celebrities have their own scent

3:42

that they market. Do you

3:44

think I could have could there be a Conan

3:46

scent? AAAAAAA

3:49

perfume just take it easy. Good there or

3:51

should there. No. No. Listen. I think

3:53

we're rushing this a little. Sorry. First, let's

3:55

begin. Adam,

3:57

do you do you think that I'm

3:59

the kind of person who could have a scent out on

4:01

the

4:01

market. I mean, why not? Yeah. No.

4:04

Okay. You could have scent. Maybe like pumpkin

4:06

spice

4:12

I look at it. It doesn't matter who

4:14

where I talk to someone in the world. This is someone

4:16

in Ethiopia who's been

4:20

kissing me and

4:22

and doing it right now. No. No. It's

4:24

very it's very funny everyone here

4:26

around me loves you now because

4:29

you treated me the way I should be treated. Mhmm.

4:31

And Yeah.

4:33

Pumpkin spice. I'm not sure that's gonna be. I

4:35

want something, you know,

4:37

manly, you know. Sexy. Sexy.

4:39

Something that women are gonna go,

4:41

do you remind me of

4:43

Conan O'Brien in that sexy way?

4:45

Pumpkin vice. For

4:49

naughty evenings. It's pumpkin spice.

4:54

Wow. So you making scents,

4:56

candles Do you make perfumes just

4:59

do do you make sense for men or is it all

5:01

mostly for women?

5:02

We make both. We make for men and

5:05

for women. Mhmm. But, I mean, we make

5:07

a lot more for women than

5:08

men. Is there a favorite way

5:10

that men like to smell that you've noticed? Is

5:12

there a certain fragrance that they gravitate

5:15

towards?

5:17

I I think people in general, like,

5:20

anything familiar. Mhmm. So, like,

5:22

if they smell ascent and it reminds

5:24

them

5:24

of, like, another perfume they've

5:27

they've liked or something --

5:28

Right. -- usually, like, gravity towards I

5:30

don't know I don't know if, like, people know so much.

5:32

I I would like because I believe

5:34

I want my sense to

5:36

be something it's familiar to me. So that would

5:38

be frying ham. Oh.

5:41

We're good to smell. That's sexy.

5:43

Like frying ham. Because that's that's

5:45

what I grew up smelling. And it's

5:48

a very it reminds me of a of

5:50

a of a fascinating time in my

5:52

life. Hey, I got news for you, buddy. That's what you

5:54

smell like. Hey. A

5:56

mission accomplished. It's

5:59

a very hard it's basically just

6:01

bacon grease. Yeah. That's all

6:03

it is. So, Adam, do

6:05

you have a shop? Is this all done

6:08

over the Internet? These

6:08

sales? How do you how do you sell

6:11

your products?

6:11

We started online, but now we

6:14

have a shop Where

6:14

is your shop? Is it in is it in the capital?

6:16

Yeah.

6:17

Yeah. It's pretty close to where I live.

6:19

Okay. It's in a mall. Okay.

6:21

So you go to every day, you

6:23

do visit the shop every day in the mall?

6:26

I try to. Yeah. But it's

6:28

it's a new mall. So, like, there's

6:30

very little foot traffic right now. So

6:32

we're hoping for, like,

6:34

a a good turnout. I'm

6:36

sure for the next coming

6:37

months. I'm confident. Maybe I could get

6:39

over to Ethiopia and do

6:42

some kind of personal appearance. How would

6:44

that go over a dom

6:46

if you said Conan O'Brien

6:48

will be appearing at the mall

6:50

in Addus

6:51

Ethiopia. Would there be much excitement

6:53

or would there be I I know

6:55

it's exciting. I think

6:59

I mean, I think so. I know I know a

7:01

few people know you here,

7:03

but you people know me.

7:06

It's gonna be beetle maybe. It's gonna be

7:08

beetle maybe. You know, I'm

7:10

worried about I'm worried about just cancer.

7:13

Based on that alone, I'm just worried about people's

7:15

safety and security. I mean,

7:17

people know how many like.

7:21

Okay. Again, you're getting way ahead of

7:23

things here poorly. I mean, I just worry

7:25

that with a few people, you could get as many

7:27

of seven seven or eight people myself.

7:29

And then what if pushing and shoving

7:32

starts? There's no way to control a pregnancy. Yeah.

7:34

Yeah. I

7:37

don't know.

7:38

I don't know. I don't know about, you know,

7:40

like, what people are into these

7:42

days. So I mean, you know what? Clearly

7:45

neither do I. Neither ride. But

7:47

but who cares? I've got you. I've

7:49

got you, and that's what's important. Yes.

7:51

You do. But this

7:53

is this is very cool. So you do

7:55

that. You manufacture scented

7:58

candles and -- Mhmm. --

8:00

and you sell these different perfumes. Are there other

8:03

things that you do? You

8:05

know, using your your

8:07

skills?

8:08

I mean, now we're trying to like, all our

8:11

products are natural, so we're trying

8:13

to move to, like, natural soaps

8:15

and lip glosses and

8:17

things like

8:17

that. So That's nice. So around

8:19

the same area again. That's a big that's a

8:21

big movement. Yes. People don't wanna put

8:23

anything artificial on their

8:26

bodies. They want it all to be natural.

8:28

I prefer artificial anything artificial.

8:31

Why is that exactly? I just I I

8:33

just trust in exotic chemicals.

8:36

I've always been that way.

8:38

They've never done us wrong. I don't think they have. I

8:40

mean, I'd like to see more information

8:42

on DDT, various pesticides

8:45

that were banned in the sixties

8:47

by some kooky hippies. I

8:50

actually freshen up every morning, little DDC

8:52

under the shirt. Guess what?

8:55

I've had no insects underneath

8:57

my arms.

8:58

We did it.

8:59

Yeah. We did it. Before there was a

9:01

lot. And

9:03

and you're also you're

9:06

writing. Aren't you writing something? And I'm I'm told

9:08

that you are writing something on the

9:10

Internet. What do you

9:10

write? Trying to uh-oh. So I

9:13

write blogs. So I work for

9:15

this other company that has,

9:17

like, luxury homes -- Mhmm. -- across the

9:19

US. So I have write blogs for

9:21

them, like,

9:23

recommending people on, like,

9:25

places to go to and they're staying at the homes.

9:27

Wait. And I haven't been to any of the

9:29

places. Oh, wait

9:32

a minute. Hey, Joe. You're

9:34

saying you're saying that you're sitting there in

9:36

Ethiopia, and you aren't

9:38

writing. You are

9:40

telling people oh my god. You're gonna

9:42

love this house. It's a

9:44

split level modern, and

9:47

it's in Park City, Utah.

9:49

And oh my god. The views

9:51

and I loved it here and you've never been

9:52

there. Yeah.

9:53

I recommend them restaurants

9:56

and have you have you had friendly

9:58

activities. So so Basically,

10:00

Google. So you just Google. You Google

10:02

everything.

10:03

That's irrelevant.

10:05

That's awesome. Listen. I have to say,

10:07

Adam, I really admire your

10:10

I mean, first of all, Shaquannery.

10:12

Yes. Yes. I

10:16

like your scamming is No, but I

10:18

think it's actually You've got

10:20

so many things going at the same time,

10:22

which is impressive. What else are

10:24

you working on? Do you do it sounds like I

10:26

bet you you're a good writer. If you can if

10:28

you can write those

10:29

blogs, do you use do you try

10:31

any other kinds of writing Yeah. I

10:32

try I'm trying to write fiction. I

10:35

think you already are in those blogs.

10:37

Yeah. Yeah. You

10:39

you so far, you are one

10:41

of the better writer. You might be

10:43

the most fiction, most prolific

10:45

fiction writer I've ever met. Every

10:47

day, you describe luxurious places

10:49

where you've had a blast. And brought your

10:51

pet dogs even though none

10:53

of this is true. Absolute

10:57

bullshit. Yeah.

11:00

So what kind of what kind of if you or

11:02

to write a novel, do you think it would you'd

11:05

spend a lot of time describing the homes

11:07

where the character lived and

11:10

the smells. The smell The smells

11:12

the beautiful homes and the

11:15

places nearby that serve a vegan

11:17

burger and are and

11:19

are rabbit

11:19

friendly. And then you you

11:22

spend very little time on the Right?

11:25

Yep. I mean, you've given me inspiration

11:28

because that's gonna be like yeah. That's

11:30

gonna help me break my next

11:32

novel. That's great.

13:14

When you're at your best, you can do great things,

13:16

but sometimes, let's

13:18

face it. Life gets you bogged down.

13:20

You may feel overwhelmed or

13:22

like you're not showing up the way

13:24

you'd like to. Working

13:26

with a therapist can help you

13:28

get closer to the best version

13:30

of you. And

13:33

I've said this many times on the show, I

13:35

am a big believer in talk

13:37

therapy. I'm a big

13:39

believer that if you

13:41

have, you know,

13:43

troubling emotions or anxiety,

13:46

it's really good to get it out. It's

13:48

really good to talk to somebody who

13:50

will help you find the tools you need

13:52

to to help yourself. And

13:54

to get better and feel better. So there's

13:56

a lot you can do. You don't have

13:58

to just suffer. And if

14:01

you've been thinking about giving therapy a

14:04

try, better help is really good option. It's

14:06

convenient. It's flexible. It's affordable.

14:08

It's entirely online.

14:10

You just fill out a brief questionnaire. You

14:12

get matched with a licensed therapist and switch

14:14

therapists anytime for

14:16

no additional charge and that's really important

14:18

because it's not always a good fit the first

14:20

time and that can feel

14:21

awkward, but on better help, it's not. I just

14:24

think this is a great service. It really

14:26

helps

14:26

you. I think it's really great. It helps a

14:28

lot of people to talk about things.

14:30

Yeah. And some people

14:32

are hesitant at first to

14:34

give therapy a try, but

14:37

you haven't been in therapy, this is a good way

14:39

to give it a shot. You know? Yeah. Because

14:41

there's so many terrific

14:43

benefits. You can learn better

14:45

coping skills, set healthy

14:47

boundaries, self empowerment,

14:49

dealing with trauma. And

14:52

and as I said, years

14:55

ago back in the day if someone wanted to

14:57

try therapy, it meant going someplace

15:00

and taking the

15:02

initiative and meeting a stranger

15:05

and it could be a huge investment and

15:07

feel

15:07

scary. Yeah. I think it's just a much

15:10

easier way people to give it a try.

Conan's on. Conan's on

22:08

the phone. I gotta zoom with

22:10

Conan. And he's gotten Corley and

22:12

sooner with him

22:12

too. Would she know everyone's here in the

22:14

lake room? Yeah. Exactly. That's

22:17

okay. That's trust me. Hey,

22:19

I'm feeling pretty good about, you know, the

22:21

seven people that are gonna create a stampede

22:23

when I visit them

22:24

all. And his CFIOPIA. It's

22:27

just

22:27

gonna run. It's not good. It

22:29

can't be the other way. Yeah.

22:31

Okay. Okay. Alright. That's not

22:33

nice. You ever question for

22:35

Conan? I do. But I think he answered

22:38

it. I was gonna say I was gonna

22:40

ask him what he smells like.

22:42

Oh,

22:43

don't know, you know, I mean, in serious, I joked about frying ham,

22:45

but I don't know that I have I mean, you

22:47

could answer that Sonos. Thank

22:48

you. I want him. I

22:50

don't think I have an odor. You don't

22:51

have an odor. Sometimes you

22:54

smell like freshly applied sunscreen.

22:58

But

22:59

There may be a reason for that. If you know what though,

23:02

it's not a bad smell. You don't

23:04

have a bet you don't have a bad smell you're,

23:06

you

23:06

know, nicest thing anyone said to me in a

23:08

while. You know, you don't have a bad smell

23:10

on it. I think I

23:12

don't like putting on scents but I

23:14

do have to put on sunscreens

23:16

because, you know, my people are

23:19

from Ireland and I

23:21

live down by the Mexican border

23:23

and Nobody

23:24

needs an explanation.

23:25

Yeah. No. No. I think you really need to

23:28

understand, hey, Tom. Why I

23:30

may be sunsensitive. And I think you really did

23:32

have to hear this because you

23:34

you only got a biochemical degree

23:37

from a great school. Yeah.

23:40

I don't know. I yeah.

23:42

And I so so sometimes I probably do

23:44

smell like

23:44

that. Yeah. No. But also, I I mean, what

23:46

I'm trying to say is it's it's

23:49

not unpleasant to be around

23:51

you. You know what I

23:52

mean? What about my

23:53

behavior? That's different. What I'm

23:55

talking about smells. You're

23:56

right. And you're you're

23:57

not unpleasant to be around. Do you have any

24:00

behavior perfumes? I think you can recommend yeah. Is

24:02

there any perfume I would wear or or or sense

24:04

that would make me behave myself a little

24:05

more? Behavior

24:06

yourself. No. I

24:07

mean, I think Sandlewood

24:10

might calm me. Oh, yeah. You

24:12

know?

24:13

Something like that. I like cedar.

24:15

I like cedar. Yeah. Yeah.

24:17

I like cedar. There's certain cedar like

24:19

that. Like, if I wish I smelled like an

24:21

old cedar closet.

24:23

Oh. You know, they had

24:24

a little bit of sandalwood -- Yeah. --

24:26

in there and maybe some just a

24:28

touch of vanilla. Oh, interesting. Just

24:30

a little hint of vanilla. Can you work

24:33
