Gorley is such a master of improv. Him saying, "it's full" almost immediately just killed me. 😅

[watevatube]

I like how Conan quickly moves on when Sona asks for more home improvement money 😂

[michellebull]

I would totally watch Conan & Sona plan Sona’s bathrooms renovations! The shopping together alone would be hilarious! 😂

[timnoel]

Conan on Christmas trees as mentioned in the Bible 🤣 "and he saideth unto them, ye shall get a tree and the tree shall be of the earth and the tree shall smelleth that of fragrant green and not Home Depot did he go" 🤣

[TheDriverChronicles]

I would 100% watch every second of Conan in a hard hat doing renovations on Sona’s house and Sona yelling “Conan!” as be breaks stuff (like the sunglasses holder in her old car) 😂😂😂😂

[aegresen]

Conan and his siblings digging the hole for the tree: 'I'm tired of this, pater!!'
Conan's Dad: 'Well, that's too damn bad!! You keep digging!'

[OllihuAkbar]

Petition to release all Summer S'mores episodes as long form videos!

[Cursethedawn]

I'm with Sona on this one. Getting a real living tree to put in your living room so you can all watch it die is just sad.

[hohuyduc]

Sona singing "sounds like someone got a trait from. His. Dad" was my favorite part 😂😂😂

[SynthiaVan]

Sona: "Where in the bible does it say you have to get a real tree for christmas?"

Gourley: "PAGE ONE."

You guys sleigh me.

[pre-covid-life]

Sona's face after that last hard g Home Depot joke 😆 she was on the edge

[TheCJD]

It's "Summer S'mores" and they spend so much time talking about Christmas 😅😅

[chunri]

I just can’t believe how lucky she is to have landed this job x years ago and is now good for life

[louisa]

I love it when Sona asks Conan to pay for things 😂😂

[benzaiten]

Sona threatening Conan to tell on him about the fake bible stories to his mother is such sibling energy!

[ty_the_RetoVideo_guyr]

Has anyone else noticed that when Conan has a cold he turns into Werner Herzog? Love this podcast😁

[garr]

I'm still constantly impressed. Sona's not a professional comedian, but she hangs with like Conan, who's a comedy legend, and Matt who is a lowkey GOAT of comedy podcasts for his work over the last twenty years. She's just naturally good at riffing. I wonder if Conan noticed and that's why she was hired initially, or if its just a lucky accident.

[andi.pf]

I love how mad Sona got. I never really heard the term root ball before either but it’s pretty easy to figure out what it is due to the context of the story. 😂

[Chanb]

I wish they'd release the full video of Summer S'mores. Hearing them is funny, but I love seeing the expressions on their faces as they say ridiculous stuff to each other.

Getting a random mention of the Deodar trees in a Conan podcast episode was such a surprise!
Deodar trees are native to India, mainly in the Himalayas. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for the tree “Devadaru” which means “Wood of the Gods”.

And Sona, you pronounced it accurately.
