I think if we just use just kind of foggier voices like that. Yeah. Now you just sound.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend

9, yeah, starting at 9. I'm asleep by then. No, no, I'm serious.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Club Grub Hub
Yeah, what time do you go to bed? And are you going to bed just in full digestion mode where...

Young and hip again. Your children are nowhere to be found, but you're back.

The guy, the little guy, the paper boy comes back at night just for your house?
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Yes, I ate garlic. Lots of garlic, lots of lemon. But I did eventually get it.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Not even the root. I know. But you know, Gorley, who's not here, has never had it yet.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
He could be. He could be. And Eduardo never had it up until like a month ago. Oh, wow. Yeah. I know. Isn't that crazy?
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Wait, you guys are living in the houseboat? I don't understand why you're- Yes, that's the whole point.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
When I go to your house, I'm just going to break it.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
We'll get some good comedy here. I'm not a monster.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Oh, it was heavy. It was really heavy. I mean, I'd never been to Armenia. I am Armenian. I felt a lot of what Conan was saying about how you get there. I was crying the entire time I was there, I feel like. But then I saw my dad's village engraved in the wall of all the villages that were affected by the genocide. And it's like I instantly just felt some kind of connection to my grandparents there.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I'm feeling emotional talking about it now. It was amazing. It was one of probably the most heart-wrenching moments of my life.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I was not expecting to feel that overwhelmed about it. I don't know. I mean, I think that something just got very triggered in me. And you suddenly feel very connected to your past.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Yeah. It puts everything into a very different perspective.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I need to talk about what happened to me on Saturday. Because I hosted all day, and it was so much fun. I hosted the Pasadena Armenian Festival.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I had posted it up on Instagram that I was going to be at this thing to just kind of help promote it. And I had a few of our fans who aren't even Armenian come to the festival to come meet me. Oh, that's cool. Which was honestly really cool.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Yeah, I brought us together. So can I can I give a shout out to a couple of people who came?
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Daniel came with his girlfriend, Michelle. Daniel's a fan. Michelle doesn't listen. So we could just forget Michelle.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
And then Marianne and Dean came. So they came all the way from, I think, the Midwest. They drove all the way out here.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Not for me specifically. They came for something else. But then I was like, a stop. So I'm just going to tell myself it was for me.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
But they they did. Let's just say they did. But they also Dean and Marianne. I met them. They're lovely people. Dean, I find out, writes fan fiction about you. He writes it about a lot of things, but he also writes a lot of Conan O'Brien specific fan fiction.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
It's explicit. It's erotic fan fiction. It's erotic fan fiction.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
It's funny you say that because I was like, really, Conan? And I'm like, he's just, you know, he's very, he's like, I was like, you know, I was talking to Dean and Marianne and I said, he's just a very kind of repressed, got this repressed Catholic energy. And he said a lot of the fan fiction that he writes comes from you like coming out of your Repression.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I mean, I looked at just the descriptions. I said, pass. I can't do it.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
You know, so you never read... I love fan fiction.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
Oh, no, I think he, like, left his info, and then they had, like, a dalliance after it.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
No, he's got his, the website is, can I just say the website so people can go read it?
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
The website is called archiveofourown.org and he's drhpaints and he's got a lot of Conan specific fan fiction.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
And it's erotica. It's a lot of erotica and it's very explicit because that's the fun part about fan fiction.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
This is fun stuff. And I think it's very flattering. I mean, like, you know, there was an entire movie series, the after movie series, that was based on fan fiction written about Harry Styles.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I'm just saying. I'm like, I just think it's very flattering when people choose you as like a main character in any sort of literary kind of take they have on anything.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
No, Matt, if you keep reading it, I'm going to burn this entire building down to the ground.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I need to leave. I quit. I have to quit right now. First of all, you brought this up. I'm done.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I know. He was really nice, and his girlfriend was really nice. And I thought, hey, this is fun.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
I thought you were going to say you did it, but you called it like you knew it was going to happen.
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns
No, no. We celebrate American Christmas, too. But we you know, we have a fake tree, which you guys got mad at me for when we were doing summer s'mores. Yeah. And then we like put a few things out. But we're not like the house people stop at when they're driving down the block and be like, oh, my God, look at this.
