Hi, my name is Josh Groban, and I feel downright giddy about being Conan O'Brien's friend. Now, that's the right attitude. That is. It's an honor. No, it's not.

We, as we were like in the market, hunting down the Argon oil, someone said, you know, yeah, you can, yeah, you can get this, you know, on Amazon and it will come from the same store that you found. But anyway, that ruins the magic of travel. So, but we had, well, tell me what you thought, Sona.
Oh, I had so much fun. I hadn't, you know, I used to travel when you do the travel shows and I forgot how it's a lot of work.
It's a lot of work.

Like I'll build a urinal, you know. Yeah. First, I'll fire the porcelain. I mean, I'll do all these crazy things because I think you have that you're you're revving. You want to be useful. You want to get something done. So, yeah, I've been actually mostly what I've been doing is organizing things that I haven't organized in a long time. I mean, just and my wife was away, so I was alone.
It's me, the dogs and the cats. And I'm just they hear me in the garage banging away. Oh, my God.
You're productive? I'm not productive.
What did you do?
I just watch clips of shows I like.
Oh, no.
And I just scroll on my phone in the bed. It's nice.
It's called doom scrolling.
It's not doom because my algorithm is really fun. What's your algorithm? My algorithm is a lot of just silly. It's like, you know, silly humor. It's a lot of really funny stuff. I don't know how to describe it. And then every once in a while, it's like takes me to a really dark kind of place on Instagram.

Chapter 5: What was the significance of Josh Groban's father playing trumpet on his album?
I can't... I don't know. Sometimes I'm just like, how did this end up here? I can't... I can't think of... This would be a real good example if you had an example. It would be so good if I had an example for you. Is it like street fights?
That kind of thing?
I get a lot of fights. I do get a lot of fights. A lot of brawls and fights. And I love them. That's your love language. I love them. I know. And they make me... They fire me up. Like, they get me really intense. Like, I don't know if you guys get that same... Nope. Nope. Just me. Okay. You like watching fights? I love it.
Okay.
Sometimes I revisit.
I saw a clip recently that's been going around. This clip's been going around, which is sort of tangential to this, but this clip's been going around that they unveiled this robot and the robot comes out. It's one of these really impressive, you know, latest model robots and it's coming out and it's doing all these cool moves and spinning and stuff like that. And then it's,
And all these families are around watching it, like applauding. And then it spins around and it kicks this little kid really hard in the stomach. And the kid doubles over and then kind of collapses.

Chapter 6: How does Josh Groban feel about his comedic inclinations?
And I think the kid's okay. I hope the kid's okay.
Is this real?
Yeah, it's real, I think. I'm pretty sure it's real. And then the robot sort of stands up and then just starts to step back, retreat. And I've thought, does that robot feel shame? Oh. Is it possible it feels shame? And I was, because I'm a human, I was reading in, oh, that robot just must feel so much shame right now. And then I realized it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
There's no way the robot's like, that's darker than the street fights.
I know, but we don't want it to feel shame.
Robot kicks boy in the stomach. It came up.
Yeah. Is it real?
See this? Yeah. Yeah. No, it's not. The kid's okay. And I think the kid might have needed kicking. You never know. I don't want to bum people out, but I think it's okay.
I know, it's not funny, right? Is this it?

Chapter 7: What insights does Josh Groban share about the music industry?
Look, so here's the guy. He's like, ha, ha, ha, ha, boink.
Oh, no. Jesus.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that's awful.
Okay, and look at the robot. It's like... Oh, no.
Must destroy to save oneself. Yeah. Oh, my God. So anyway. Oh, my God. That kid is standing out a little too far. What's that? That kid asked for it. Yeah, he asked for it. Well, you said he had it coming. You're victim blaming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys' algorithm is turning you guys into monsters.
I, yeah, I said, go robot. That was my comment that I wrote in.
Oh, no, you shouldn't be standing. Do you remember when we were, I don't know if we should mention this, when we were in Armenia and there was a guy doing donuts and there was a perimeter of people around.
We're in Yerevan, capital of Armenia. Yes. We're there for five minutes when we hear all this noise and excitement and we go to this big square where all these people are packed around watching. And there's a guy in the middle who's accelerating really fast in a car doing donuts and everyone's just, it doesn't seem like an official performance.

Chapter 8: What is Josh Groban's character in Toy Story 5 and what does it represent?
I think a guy was just doing donuts and everyone came to watch the guy do donuts. Yeah. Because it's one o'clock and it's time for donuts. But there's no barrier between the people and the car. And the guy doesn't really, he's not a professional. He doesn't know what he's doing. And then at one point he swings around and I think he hit a bunch of people.
He hit people with his car.
I think they were okay. Yeah. And I don't think people, you know, here everyone would be like, okay, get everyone's number and everyone's going to sue everyone. There they're just like. ah, that's what happens. Shake it off.
We're good. Get back around the perimeter.
Yeah.
Get back to donuts. It was crazy. Yeah. It didn't make the show that we were shooting, but it was... Oh, no.
No.
You didn't open it with that?
We are opening with the robot kicking the Chinese boy. I'm going to put that at the top of the show. Well, what was your reaction to that? I mean, I don't know. First of all, I saw that thing. It got sent to me. Instagram thought Kona's going to love a Chinese robot kicking a kid in the stomach, which I don't endorse.
