What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Yo, what's up? My name is Ice Cube. And I feel like I'm about to throw up in my mouth. About my homie Conan. About my homie Conan O'Brien. You can't even say my name. You're so disgusting.
That's how you feel about being his friend.
Wow, that's incredible.
Fall is here, hear the yell. Back to school, ring the bell. Brand new shoes, walkin' loose. Climb the fence, books and pens. I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends. Hey there and welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. I'm blessed with two good friends, but they're not with us now.
There we go.
Instead, we have Sona Movsesian. Hi. That makes me feel more comfortable. How are you guys? I'm good. Everyone good?
I'm doing all right. How are you doing?
I'm doing okay. I'm doing pretty good. Yeah. You ever wear contacts, Sona?
I've been wearing contacts since I was like 12.
I started trying it recently.
Yeah, we know.
Just out of convenience. And I'm doing it more and more now. Yeah. And I don't know. What was your experience with them?
You were struggling at first.
I really struggled because I'm eye phobic.
I was fine.
I'm eye phobic. I don't like things getting near my eye. And then suddenly the people would say, oh, it's easy. Just jam this onto your eyeballs.
This reminds me, we were going to do a whole thing where you brought your contacts in and tried to get you to put them in. Remember, we talked about this and we're going to do a follow up.
Now I've gotten good. So it wouldn't even be a good segment anymore. Now they come in, they go out. I put them on. What's weird is the one on the right. My right eye is for reading and the left is for slight correction on the distance. Is that how you read like this? I know. They told me, oh, you get used to it. Wow. Is that what people do? Or am I being sold a bag of hash?
I don't know.
I think they had two leftover contact lenses. You're saying I got scammed. They did go, uh. And I did notice when I left, Everyone was laughing.
Yeah. One of them's a colored contact.
Yeah. Can I tell you, if I did see you come into my office, I would say anything just to upsell you. So like, I feel like sometimes.
And I did a lot of bits that day.
You did. I was there.
I don't know. We talked about this, but I went in hot. I was doing so many bits for everybody in the waiting room. I was killing.
Yeah.
And to the point where I just kept wanting to go back out to the waiting room to do more bits. And they were saying, we need to keep, we've just put something in your eye, some to dilate it. You've got to settle down. And I'm like, no, no, no. I didn't get that lady in the corner. She's tough, but I'll get her. It was insanity.
Yeah, well, I think that what I'm saying is like they maybe they did that to you and they don't normally so that both eyes get worse. So you have to keep going back to the eye doctor's office. Why would they do that? And they know you're like needy and you need to get that woman in the corner. So you keep going back. She was a plant. And then they keep upselling you. Yeah, they were telling me.
Yeah, they were telling me. Oh, so this is interesting. This is what businesses could start doing. Putting a plant in whose job is not to laugh at anything I do.
Did you notice the bookshelves were lined with Robert Caro books too?
Yeah. No, have someone who doesn't laugh and I'll just keep coming back to your tire store and buying more winter tires in Los Angeles. You know? Tractor tires. Yeah, tractor tires, every kind of tire. And that's the trick to get me to come in. They want me to come to their restaurant, just hire one waiter who just never gives it up. And I'll go back every night. Hey, look at this impression. You know, one of the chicken cross the road.
Yeah, I would totally upsell you all the time. You're also very trusting.
I feel like you just believe people. Okay, do you think that that's... I'm asking the general community of ophthalmologists. I have one contact on my right eye, which is a completely different strength magnification than the one on the left. Is that crazy? And I keep crashing my car now.
