we kick off this episode. There was an ad that went out on Inside Conan last week in

error. I don't want to go too far into it, but for our listeners who heard it, I want

you to know that it is not reflective of us or Team Coco. A third party facilitates our

0:16.5

ads, and there was a mistake on their end, so it ended up being delivered to a small

1:38.8

so just Conan, no, Brian is making fun of Sona. Exactly. And giving it back to him.

1:45.2

Now with a theater echo added in, that's the big, the big change. But that's taping tonight,

1:52.4

actually, that'll be very exciting at the Wilter & Theater, the historic. Yeah. That's a huge

1:57.8

venue. That's really cool. And I think it's going to be extra exciting, because I know for Conan,
