  • I haven't mentioned this gentlemen for a while,

  • but I do need to discuss him tonight.

  • We have an associate producer, you may know him.

  • He's on our show and his name is Jordan Schlansky.

  • Yeah, we'll insert some booing there.

  • Anyway, for as long as I can remember,

  • Jordan's office has been an embarrassing mess.

  • Well, earlier this year,

  • just before our studio was shut down

  • by the COVID-19 pandemic,

  • I mean, literally like two weeks before,

  • I called in some big names to tackle a renovation

  • of Jordan's office, okay?

  • We were gonna make this a great remote.

  • We brought a camera crew, we even screened what we shot

  • for an audience back in March, literally one

  • of the last audiences we had before COVID shut us down.

  • Then the lockdown hit and we had to delay

  • completing Jordan's office renovation, until now.

  • (audience applauding)

  • As you know, I worked with a guy named Jordan Schlansky

  • who is a terrible slob.

  • Just a pig, his office is a mess,

  • I've tried many times to clean it up,

  • and it's dirty again, immediately.

  • I'm sick of it, I give up.

  • That's why I brought in the big guns,

  • The Property Brothers.

  • We're glad to be here, I mean this really shows

  • that as his employer, how much you care about him.

  • Oh, no, I'm happy if he dies tomorrow.

  • Hello. Hi.

  • Have you met the Property Brothers?

  • No I have not.

  • Usually I stand when people come into the room

  • and I greet them, I think that's more polite.

  • Would you like to stand?

  • I'm comfortable the way I am.

  • We've offered to do this for free to help you,

  • and this is taking up a fair bit of our time,

  • because I mean, look at the space.

  • This is a lot to tackle and we're here

  • to actually add some features that really

  • make this the pimped out space that you would like to have.

  • I don't want to put anything in here.

  • I didn't initiate this whole practice at all.

  • Let's put this politely, I'm not asking you,

  • I'm telling you, we're going to get clean up this space,

  • Okay. because you represent Conan,

  • and I am known for class, I am known for aesthetics,

  • I'm known for or a high level of design.

  • Look, you gentlemen clearly have an agenda.

  • I'm going to remain passive in this situation.

  • Why don't you proceed to do what you intend.

  • Oh my God. We're giving you

  • an office upgrade. Is that what you say

  • before you're molested (laughing)?

  • (audience laughing)

  • For God's sake.

  • You'd last long in prison.

  • Well, you gentlemen have an agenda,

  • I will remain passive, and you do as you please.

  • What's a couple things about yourself

  • that would help us understand what's important to you?

  • What are your interests?

  • I'm a deep thinker.

  • I explore inward, as well as outward.

  • Let me help you, you love Italy, do you not?

  • I do. I got married

  • in Italy, so I mean, I know Italy very well.

  • You say you got married in Italy,

  • therefore you know Italy very well.

  • Are those two things necessarily connected?

  • You're weird.

  • I did my research. He was sharing with you.

  • What about something very cool,

  • like, I don't know, like a pasta station?

  • Yes, a food area where they would

  • be making you fresh pasta in your office.

  • Would you like that?

  • The problem with eating carbohydrates on their own

  • without protein, fat, and fiber to balance them out

  • is that creates a spike in blood sugar.

  • Then the pancreas secretes insulin to remove the sugar

  • from the blood, that sugar is stored as fat.

  • The body is a very efficient mechanism and you don't want

  • to waste that energy.

  • So you don't like Italy?

  • Personal grooming is very important to you.

  • You like to shave the body,

  • shave the face? Sure, I respect

  • the human body that we've all been given

  • and I like to present it in its best possible condition.

  • Well you know what?

  • We share some traits.

  • I take care, yes.

  • I mean I have no hair. He's lasered his whole body.

  • Let me see, you actually

  • shave your body. I've no, no lasered it.

  • I lasered it.

  • I believe in just having

  • regular dude hair. Have you removed

  • the hair from your chest?

  • I lasered twice.

  • Yeah, it doesn't seem consistent with the hair

  • on your legs.

  • No. In fact, all three of us

  • have modified our body hair.

  • In this scenario, you're the odd man out.

  • I believe in letting it grow.

  • It looks like a copper Brillo pad beneath my belt,

  • and that's my way of going because I've been in a very,

  • very long marriage, and well, I think enough said.

  • (audience laughing)

  • Why do you have?

  • OMG.

  • [Conan] Why do you have this here?

  • This is a toilet stool.

  • It ensures proper orientation of the puborectalis muscle,

  • which is the muscle that maintains continence.

  • So, this is like a Squatty Potty knockoff.

  • No, this is a Squatty Potty.

  • Of course it is. This is their

  • luxurious model, it's made of bamboo

  • as opposed to a lower quality plastic.

  • Why is it still in the box?

  • I haven't unpacked and assembled it yet.

  • I have a feeling he uses it and then puts it back

  • in the box.

  • It's the only thing that's organized in this office.

  • Hold on a second.

  • Why do you have two of them?

  • Why do you have two?

  • Hey, do you go up to people in the subway and say,

  • "How about a little side-by-side pooping?"

  • What about a toilet?

  • Could we put a toilet in this space, so he could...

  • He might literally never leave.

  • Would you be willing to evacuate your bowels in here

  • if there was a toilet?

  • I don't do that in the workplace.

  • How do you, you save it up for all day?

  • Like you save up for 10 hours?

  • My body's on a natural rhythm.

  • I've taken great steps to ensure the natural

  • digestive rhythm of my body.

  • I take a probiotic supplement. What are you saying?

  • Are you being serious?

  • You don't defecate at work?

  • You can't control your bodily functions?

  • What, you can't what?

  • When he loses it, it's great.

  • No, it's not, the way he laughs his eyebrows get so crazy.

  • (audience laughing)

  • No, I don't need to come to the workplace

  • and evacuate my bowels. That is not healthy,

  • when you have to go, you have to go.

  • I don't have to go.

  • So you have never pooped at work?

  • No.

  • That's insane, that's crazy.

  • How do you plan that out?

  • My body follows a natural rhythm, it's almost circadian.

  • I'm surprised that you are caught unaware so often.

  • Do you defecate at work?

  • Jordan, all people eventually, first of all,

  • I'm a celebrity, and as they will tell you,

  • we just don't defecate at all.

  • No. No, no.

  • But you as a person, everyone does.

  • How many times a week would you say you defecate at work?

  • Well, I think you're talking about a very,

  • this is a disgusting topic.

  • Well, I didn't initiate the topic.

  • You're the one that introduced the topic

  • by having not one, but two bamboo Squatty Potty.

  • So before the show is when you'll normally

  • evacuate your bowels, if you need to?

  • I've done it during the show, back,

  • that's why we had a desk.

  • And one of the investors in the film

  • came from Council Bluffs, Iowa to help us make the movie.

  • Which consisted of him in a Brooks Brothers suit

  • in a cornfield.

  • Would you evacuate your bowels here in the privacy

  • of your own room, if we had sort

  • of like a prison toilet here?

  • I wouldn't evacuate my bowels in this workplace,

  • whether there was, or was not a toilet in this office.

  • I will not eat green eggs and ham.

  • I will not defecate, Sam I am.

  • Decorative elements, do you have any thoughts?

  • Yeah, I mean if you want this to really embrace

  • your passion for Italy, maybe like a,

  • like a marble statue or something like that.

  • That'd be fantastic.

  • No, I don't see the value in that,

  • I'm sorry. Well, then that would

  • be a yes.

  • Look at that. Look at that.

  • (baroque music)

  • And that is the size.

  • Conan came in early and measured it out.

  • Actually, I'd be happy with that.

  • [Jonathan] I mean, it looks pretty nice, eh?

  • Jordan, congratulations, and now do the thing

  • other humans do, which is thank Jonathan and Drew

  • for their help.

  • Thank you. Pleasure.

  • Thank you. You're welcome.

  • Look forward to seeing your face when we're all done.

  • Okay.

  • Normally this is where we'd show you

  • our 3D computer animation and talk about

  • how the renovation would proceed.

  • Yeah, but our big plans for Jordan's office,

  • that went out the window when the pandemic hit.

  • In fact, since Conan's Warner Brothers studio closed down,

  • and was abandoned by humans over five months ago,

  • Jordan's office was turned into a breeding ground for rats,

  • raccoons, and the nine banded armadillo.

  • (upbeat music)

  • [Drew] As a result, Jordan's office has been condemned

  • by the city of Burbank, which forced us

  • to rethink our renovation.

  • First, we're gonna return Jordan to his office,

  • then re-imagine the entryway by sealing it up

  • with beautiful reclaimed brick, imported from Tuscany,

  • giving Jordan's final resting place the Italian style

  • and look he craves.

  • So Jordan will be sealed off from all human contact

  • and run out of oxygen pretty quickly, is that right?

  • Mm, two hours tops.

  • Fantastic.

  • Oh my God, this is exactly what I dreamed it would be.

  • I'm not sure about Jordan, but Conan seems pretty happy

  • about the outcome.

  • He does, oh actually Conan,

  • something we're extremely happy about,

  • it's the "Brother Versus Brother," premiere on HGTV.

  • Very smooth segue.

  • I try.

  • [Both] Thanks Conan.

I haven't mentioned this gentlemen for a while,
