Because fruit trees, despite seeming like a comedic non-starter, are actually reasonably interesting to humans. It is what it is.

I like how Conan started with a genuinely mediocre joke about Whole Foods that should've led to nothing, but then turned it into absolute hilarity.

Bleys fruit topic just got better and better with each interjection. Proper rabbit hole of a convo piece. Top stuff

[@TheUberjammer]

Sona: Many fruit trees skip a season. Apples do quite frequently. Not usually a complete skip, but certainly one year will be far less productive than the previous year, and if the tree gets pruned incorrectly, or there's disease issues, you could potentially have zero fruit for a year. Also important to note is... is... sorry, my fez flew away and I forgot what I was going to write.

[@matthewhearn9910]

My avocado tree is like this. One year we'll have so many that we and everyone we know well enough to hand a bag to are eating guacamole with every meal for months, and the next we're buying our avocados at the store when we need some.

[@AkiroKiro]

God bless Bley and his sweet Gollum heart for making this intro happen

[@DarylVHorn]

I love when Conan throws sweet funny jabs at Sona's family. Conan, you rock the USA!

[@robjgolde3221]

I love at 3:00 when Sona starts talking about guavas, Conan closes his eyes in disbelief and dejection like “why are they doing this to me?” like a parent watching toddlers destroy a house after its just been cleaned.

The more Sona laughs, the harder he digs into his bits

[@kevgar57]

Conan’s revolving cast of characters around him, basically his staff, is such a gift. I’m glad they don’t overuse it too. That said, this had me laughing out loud even after rewatching it for the third time.

[@xGuitarInFlamesx]

Finally fruit talk!, this is what we all have been waiting for 😂

[@DarylVHorn]

I think Conan should have a third podcast called "Conan O'Brien Needs an Employee" of just banters with his crew: Matt, Sona, David, Blay, and Jordan Schlansky!

[@jesseowenvillamor6348]

And Andy

[@Glumyy]

Conan is wrong, ever since this podcast started, hell, even since I began watching his late night show, all I've pondered is if Conan has a fruit tree. Thank you for finally providing me with solace. This is honestly one of the best intros!

[@florianadolf2256]

Well, *that* - and what that fruit would actually be, most of all. Would it be something proper, like a nice apple tree? Or something more exotic, like a mirabelle or a prune plum tree? Or, let's just draw out the old stereotype and assume that he has a fine little, neatly cultivated potatoe patch in his garden - no tree, whatsoever. We still have no clear answer to that question, though. But one hell of an intro, that's for sure👌

[@OktoberStorm]

"I do keep a lot of... Crow food in my hair" - this guy is a genius!

[@florianadolf2256]

Golden moments, Conan was able to just keep the momentum and add and add when Sona was losing it.

You've won when your audience is crying laughing on the floor rolling around
