Hey, Cooper. Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.
Hey, Cooper. How are you? Good. How are you? Okay, I'm going to ask you to pretend to be excited to see me. Because right now, you just look like you're in the eight items or less aisle. Okay. And you're just, I mean, I want you to just manufacture, right? Just to manufacture a little like, wow. Just be excited.
Be so excited.
Yeah, no, seriously. How are you, Cooper? I am really good. I'm so excited to be here. Okay. Well, now you look like you're a hostage who's saying the stuff you've been told to say by your captors, which is the kind of way you are. Where are you coming from, Cooper? I live in D.C. Okay. Okay. And tell us a little bit about yourself, Cooper. All I know is you're Cooper. You're from D.C.
You appear to be a young fellow. Are you in your late 20s? Are you in your 30s? Give us an age.
I'm 26, and I am a Civil War historian.
Oh, my God. Uh-oh. Okay, I'm glad to talk to you. I'm a bit of a Civil War, I'm a bit of a history buff, and Civil War is one of the areas that I'm kind of interested in. Have you been a Civil War buff your whole life, or is this something you came to later on?
I have. I've been a history buff my whole life. When I was in third grade, my teacher wrote on my report card that I watched too much History Channel. Wow. Held back a year. Enough history! Yeah, which basically meant I couldn't shut up. And then it was a fifth-grade field trip to Gettysburg that really got me onto Civil War, and I haven't really stopped since.
