Here comes Tanner.

Hey. Hey. Thanks for that introduction, man. You're welcome. That was terrific. Tanner, how are you?

Good. How are you, Konan? This is sweet.

I'm doing real well. Hey, man, it is sweet. It's sweet talking to you. I'm looking at you right now. I'm trying to figure out from your background where wear, and it's basically a little tube you can breathe in. The hard part about that is it's really hard to find when you're getting thrown around in an avalanche. There's also airbags that have a little CO₂ cartilage on it that you pull. See, this is what I'm talking about. It will inflate in the back, and it'll keep you above the surface. That's good to know. The biggest thing is just... Yeah. It's pretty easy to avoid avalanche terrain. A lot of places have forecasters that go out and tell you what the avalanche terrain will be, that they're in danger.I'm going to avoid them. That's my strategy, just to not go to avalanche terrain.Is there a chance if there... And do you have a nail clipper that you're holding, Tanner?Yeah, I was showing my nails there in the air.Okay, listen. Jesus. Tanner, I am an iconic figure in American cultural history, and I'm chatting with you, and all of a sudden, I see you're doing something, and I see you've got a nail clipper. You're like, Yeah, I'll kill two birds with one stone.Tanner, in your double tasking here, did you think, I'll cut my nails while talking to Konan or going, I'll talk to Konan while I'm cutting my nails?Well, I was trimming them during the weight room thing, and then I decided to just fidget with it.Yeah. Listen, I didn't take it. I don't take it personally.I'm sure- We're interrupting his nail time.Yeah. Let's see how they're looking.You ever think I'm a busy person, Konan?Oh, yeah. Okay. You know what?Good And by the way, Konan, you called him. He didn't even ask to do this.Okay. Well, I was just curious. I had some questions, and occasionally, I'd like to check in on how things are going in Donley, Idaho. I would keep my nails long so I could claw out of the snow and ice. Oh, boy. I think you're taking a big risk cutting I'm short.But you got to think about hypothermia.Well, I never really do. I run so hot. Brain cooking. What? So many ideas.You mean you think so much that it warms your body that during an avalanche, you won't freeze to death?Oh, yeah. I think my resting body temperature is like 109 degrees.So the snow will just melt around you? Yeah. Okay.There's a steam cloud that follows me wherever I go when I'm skiing. What? I love this. I love learning so much. Do you have a question for me, Tanner? I feel like I can't help you much. You seem like a very cool, calm, collected guy who's well-groomed. What would you like to ask me?I know you've skied before, but have you ever had to be rescued by a ski patrol? Never. If not, what do you think your injury would be?Okay, well, that's fun. I think, well, first of all, I've never had to... You know what I have done? I was skiing once, and I saw a guy who was out of control, slam into somebody, and that person who got who got slammed hit a tree pretty hard. I was one of those people that stopped and took my skis off and tried to make a barrier to keep other skiers away, and we waited for the ski patrol. That was the right thing to do, right? Make a little barrier with the skis. Someone told me maybe it's not a good idea because several people got impaled coming down the hill. You pointed them out? Yeah. I think I killed six people trying to protect the person who was lightly bruised by the tree. Are you a good skier? I'm a pretty good skier. Hey, that's cool. I've been skiing. I skied as a kid. I started out skiing in Massachusetts, which, by the I love you, Massachusetts, but not ski country. The highest rise was like 45 feet above elevation. But then we started going up to New Hampshire, take a bus up there. This was back in the day when you just skied in your jeans.I loved it. Then I thought that was skiing. Then finally, I would say sometime in the mid '90s, well into doing my late night show, I had a chance to host I was at some events at an Aspen Comedy Festival, and I went to Aspen for the first time and I saw skiing out in the West, and it opened my eyes. It was so fantastic. I just fell in love with it. I love it there.Do you do Pizza Slice French fries?Pizza Slice French fries? No, I got out of that a long time ago. That's my way. Yeah. Well, I mean, you ski with pizza and French fries. She's a great skier, but she has a full complement of high carb food. No, I've never called Ski Patrol for help myself. What would my injury be? I mean, man, I don't know. I'm just going to have to say I'm probably it's going to be... I'm mostly leg. I'm 95% leg, and I think it's going to be something with my legs.Unless somehow you could get an ego bruise on the slopes. I was wondering if you would be the guy that would show like, I can see this double block and get halfway down and be like, No, I can't do it.You know what? I would never, ever... I have too much shame. I would never call Ski Patrol to help me get down a mountain. I'm fairly confident unless it's a straight drop cliff, I can get down something. It's not going to look great, but I can get down it. I do not think I would call to say, Help me get down this mountain. I would just rather die.What? Instead of asking for help, you would just be like, Okay, this is it for me.Yeah, I would because First of all, think of the clicks. If I'm frozen on a mountain, a lot of clicks. But I don't want to be calling you, Tana, and saying, Help me, help me. I don't want to ski down the mountain. I can't do it.Yeah, I'm good at that. I'd rather just hang out and ski and not do that.Yeah, so you're fine with me letting myself die? Yeah. Then you get to be the guy that found me.Yeah. I could sell your petrified body to science.Oh. Wait a minute.Wait a minute. What? That's true. How did you bypass the coroner? How did you talk to my wife? My wife would be like, Yeah, whatever you want. I'm not using it. Yeah, we're good. This saves us a lot of money, Tanner. Then I'd be there frozen, completely solid in your backyard. You could hang Christmas lights on me. As long as you trimmed my nails occasionally, it would be good. Oh, he would.We need a new coat rack in my house.You'd eventually install a digital clock in my forehead. All right. Well, Tanner, very cool talking to you. I hope I get out there. I've never skied in Idaho in my life, and I'd like to check it out sometime.I think if you come, you need to come twice. You need to come in summer and winter.You know what? I love mountain biking. Is there good mountain biking there?Yeah, I work as a mountain bike patroller in the summer. What?Hey, I could join you and be your deputy for a day.Yeah, that'd be cool. We'll give you a little badge.Can you act a little more enthusiastic, Tanner?That's me being enthusiastic. I don't know what else we want. Okay.Wow. All right. Well, you need a heart scan. All right. Well, Tanner, very nice to meet you and stay safe. I'm glad to know you're out there taking care of people.Yeah, sweet. Thank you, Tanner. All right. Take care. It's super sick meeting you.Yeah, Nice meeting you, too. Bye-bye.

Yeah, sweet. Thank you, Tanner. All right. Take care. It's super sick meeting you.

Yeah, Nice meeting you, too. Bye-bye. Tanner.
