Question about a YouTube clip of Conan Show
What is the transcript at 0:27 in this Conan Show clip? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtJAjtdcMoU&feature=youtu.be)
It sounds like "he is another ? around."
Also, after talking about the news (THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE HAS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED ULTIMATE FRISBEE AS AN OLYMPIC SPORT), at 2:37 Conan said "THE NEWS WAS GREETED WITH EXCITEMENT BY THOUSANDS OF GUYS NAMED 'CHAD.'"
What's the connection about "Chad"?

Chad is the sort of name that's popular among wealthy people. It suggests a college athlete who's rich enough that he doesn't have to work and can waste time playing ultimate frisbee. Conan is stereotyping the sort of guy who plays ultimate frisbee.

He is using a common name as a stereotype, though I would associate it more with hippies, or something to do with a generational gap.
