Hi, Sam. Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.
Hey, how are you there?
Hey, Sam, how are you?
I'm doing really good. How are you doing?
Doing great. First of all, loving the hair, Sam. Thank you. Yeah, I know.
I thought it was inspired.
I love, I'm not egotistical enough to say it's the Conan swoop, because, you know, I didn't invent it. I think Bob's big boy invented it, but looks very cool. So I'm loving that. Tell us a little bit about yourself, Sam.
Yeah.

Chapter 2: Who is Sam and what is his story?
Oh, my God.
Wow, my marriage is over now. You're gonna see me walking alone down the highway with a suitcase. And a paper towel too. No, no, no, you open the suitcase and 15 paper towel holders fall out. Oh my God, this thing is broken. This thing is broken. So, all right, I'm picturing you doing improv or stand up on stage dressed as an African wild dog.
That must be a little challenging because it's hard enough to do improv, but when you're dressed as a furry animal, that's gotta be really challenging.
Yeah. I mean, like we have microphones on stage. So one of the funny things about it is that like when you do have like a fursuit and you are on stage and especially like even if it's like a smaller crowd, like we still have to get the microphones on the on the fursuiters. Yeah. You know, normally I have no problem projecting, but even in suit, like I have issues with it.
So you have to like put the microphone like all the way in the fursuit mouth. So it's up against your mouth in the head. So it kind of just like looks like you're well. deep-throating a microphone when you're doing that. Well, I'd hate for something untoward to happen. Yeah. So, but yeah, no, we always have like a really good time.
I love how delicate you were about, oh, and it's, I don't know how else to say this. You just showed us nine different products. It would get me arrested in any airport.
I just saw a purple spiked clam that was a sex toy. A clam.
Well, I mean, like I go through the airports all the time with these in my carry on. Right. Well, they don't because I want to have I want to make sure that they don't get lost because we've had like because we go to conventions to sell. And I've had like packages get lost.
Like there's in in in in in Boston specifically, there are two boxes of my toys that just never showed up to a convention in Boston that we were at. So those are just somewhere.

Chapter 3: How did Sam transition and what challenges did he face?
I have to say, and we are not sponsored by Taco Bell or anything, but man, that was delicious. What was in it? Do you remember? I'm trying to remember. It was delicious.
There was... It was like corned beef hash, potatoes, and then I believe you dumped a Guinness on it.
Yes. Well, you can't go wrong dumping a Guinness on anything. But yes, I remember Taco Bell, they asked me to design something, and so I went all Irish on them. And I think I had one bite and then had a massive heart attack.
Yeah, I'm shocked it's not like in every Taco Bell.
I guess Taco Bell decided not to go wide with it. But if you're ever at the Dublin Taco Bell, It's their biggest seller.
But yeah, like ever since then, anytime I can get potatoes and tacos, like there's like a couple of places. I mean, like Taco Bell does do that, but like there's like other places that like sell mashed potatoes and tacos and stuff like that. I always have to get it because I always think about it.
Well, they ripped me off, man. They ripped me off. You've got to make sure no one's ripping you off too. Hey, that's a good question because it sounds like you're onto a market There might be people out there that are like, hey, wait a minute. I'm glad you got the patents. That's the important thing, especially on the moth.
Yeah, for that one. Yeah, especially. Yeah, it's still provisional patents. So it's, you know, rest assured that's sitting on some government office somewhere waiting to get approved.
It's right on their desk.
