Future simple

I'm going to let people have a little peek behind the scenes of how we work here.

Adverbs of frequency

I noticed something recently, which is we always have the interview start with the guest saying, hello, my name is.

And I feel blank about being Conan o' Brien's friend.

And we give them a physical piece of paper.

And that's the way we've been doing it now for.

And what I noticed is that guests, not every guest, but maybe one in three, they get fidgety.

And so there's this piece of paper in front of them, and

they would do this a lot with their paper and slide it around, and it would distract me.

I think sometimes you would hear it, Eduardo.

And so finally, for the first time recently, we started, I suggest, isn't there a better way where there's no physical piece of paper?

So we started putting it up on a screen over there on the wall, so there's nothing in front of them, and

We try it out for the first time recently, and we're doing it.

The guest says, hello, my name is blank, and I feel blank about being Conan o' Brien's friend.

And I look over, and you, Matt Gourley, the podcast maestro, the producer, you were like.

You were shaking your paper, and you kept crinkling it and uncrinkling it, and

I kept looking at you, and you were looking at me.

And then I had to point at you during the interview, at your paper, and

In my defense, it was in the Kevin Nealon episode, and you guys were just insane.

So I think I was just, like, disassociating because it was uncomfortable.

I just normally don't do that kind of thing.

But I was rolling the corner of my paper.

Yeah, well, no, listen, apology not accepted.

Because now I'm reconsidering, and I would like the apology.

That's my new heist movie with my friends.

Me and my friends gotta get into that vault and get that apology back.

It's all of us in some villa in France that we can't afford because we got no money.

And we're all toasting each other as I unbox the apology.

Wait, and you open it and there's nothing in there.

You just hear I apologize comes out and it disappears into the air.

And then someone comes in and says, get down to my villa.

And in this movie, because I can't afford the really good French villa, I go to the Italian villa in France.

So the Italian villas are subpar is what you're saying?

I would never generalize, but this guy really doesn't have his shit together.

So I think I have to start taking paper away from you because I'm going to have other interviews that happen.

But it happened the first time that we had removed.

It was the first time I had removed paper from the guest to try and stop this problem.

When I hear crinkle, crinkle, crinkle, crinkle, crinkle, crinkle.

And I'm like, who's ordering crinkle cut fries?

And I look over and there's Matt barely crinkled away.

Oh, like you know about noises that come up in the.
