  The holidays are supposed to be about making memories, not managing the mess that comes with them. Between winter weather, road trips, shopping and family gatherings, your vehicle can take a beating. Mine sure does.

• 0:13Speaker 01

  Same.

• 0:14Conan O'Brien?

  Especially when I'm back in the Northeast, driving around. I mean, I grew up with that.

• 0:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 0:18Conan O'Brien?

  Cars were red, the salt on the road, people throwing rocks at me.

• 0:22Speaker 01

  Whaaat?

• 0:23Conan O'Brien?

  That's not a weather thing. That's more of a me being, making people angry problem. WeatherTech helps protect your vehicle from snow, slush, salt and seasonal messes. They also make the best gifts for automobile protection, from floor liners and cargo liner to side window deflectors, even gift cards. Great for today and to prevent future messes. Everything is built to last, easy to clean and designed for harsh winter conditions, okay? I grew up with this.

• 0:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 0:49Conan O'Brien?

  And the salt would eat away the car. We actually did have a Chevy. My dad had a Chevy Impala and the floor rusted out and you could see the road going by.

• 0:56Speaker 01

  Oh, what?

• 0:58Conan O'Brien?

  We were praying for WeatherTech and we didn't even know it. That was before it existed.

• 1:02Speaker 01

  That's cool.

• 1:03Conan O'Brien?

  So get a gift today at weathertech.com.

• 1:09Conan O'Brien?

  Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is so good, it's almost impossible not to finish it before the meal arrives. It's just too good to wait. That happens to me sometimes.

• 1:18Speaker 01

  Me too.

• 1:18Conan O'Brien?

  You can try rules like no sipping until the appetizer arrives or you tell your friend, "Don't let me touch my glass." But every time you're staring at an empty glass. So if you've ever finished your Coke Zero before the first fry hits the table, you're among friends. It happens. Occupational hazard with Coke Zero.

• 1:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:36Conan O'Brien?

  Real Coca-Cola taste, zero sugar, too good to wait. Enjoy an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero Sugar today.

• 2:06Speaker 01

  Hello, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Sorry, we just ate and there was a little gurgle there and I really apologize. And if you didn't notice it, now everyone's rewinding so that they can hear it. Why am I talking? Can I start over again?

• 2:21Speaker 02

  No, I think we nailed it.

• 2:22Speaker 01

  Hello and welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. I'm Sona Movsesian.

• 2:26Speaker 02

  And I'm Matt Gourley.

• 2:27Speaker 01

  And you're Matt Gourley.

• 2:28Speaker 02

  Well, you pointed at me, but at the same time, you took a breath like you were gonna speak. That was very confusing.

• 2:32Speaker 01

  Yes. And then, I don't do this usually, but you know, Conan is not here, in case anyone has noticed. It's me talking. I'm Sona. I am not Conan. And the reason that he's not here-

• 2:44Speaker 02

  I've never done this before, but shut up.

• 2:50Speaker 01

  The reason Conan is not here is he's back east with his family. He unfortunately lost both his parents not that long ago, so he's taking some time away. So Matt and I are holding the fort and-

• 3:02Speaker 02

  Holding the fort is strong.

• 3:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  I think opening the fort to invaders.

• 3:08Speaker 01

  Yes. I really need him to be here just to make this easier and more smooth, but I kinda like the vibe.

• 3:15Speaker 02

  I do too. It's easygoing.

• 3:17Speaker 01

  There's just the five of us here. Adam's with us and Eduardo and Blay and we're just, we're eating pizza and we're just hanging out.

• 3:24Speaker 02

  So last week, we did a collection of notable clips from our segments and intros, which was just you, me and Conan.

• 3:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 3:32Speaker 02

  This week, we're doing some notable clips that kinda came to mind from so many wonderful moments this year of the celebrity interviews.

• 3:42Speaker 01

  And, I mean, I mean, yeah, we're starting off with a, with a, with a big one.

• 3:49Speaker 02

  What the listener won't know is that we retook this part.

• 3:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 3:53Speaker 02

  And in the first time we did it, you said banger.

• 3:56Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 3:56Speaker 02

  And since Conan wasn't here, I felt the need to point out your hard G.

• 4:00Speaker 01

  Yes, and I responded by saying, "You don't have to." That you don't-

• 4:04Speaker 02

  You're right.

• 4:05Speaker 01

  You don't have to try to fill those- Gigantic shoes is what I'm saying.

• 4:09Conan O'Brien?

  And I think that would be jud of me to not do that.

• 4:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, and then you made a joke about later on, listening to a clip from Walton Jodgens.

• 4:17Conan O'Brien?

  Uh huh.

• 4:18Speaker 01

  And that didn't make sense.

• 4:19Conan O'Brien?

  It does make sense.

• 4:20Speaker 01

  How does it make sense? I said banger, it would be gawkins.

• 4:24Conan O'Brien?

  I'm pretending that there's no such thing as a hard G, that everything's a soft G.

• 4:28Speaker 01

  Okay, so I'm gonna channel Conan and be like, it's good that you have to explain what your joke is.

• 4:34Speaker 01

  We're starting with a banger.

• 4:37Conan O'Brien?

  You're French and you still got the hard G in there?

• 4:39Speaker 01

  I did.

• 4:40Conan O'Brien?

  Benga.

• 4:41Speaker 01

  Benga, banger. Bing, banger, banger.

• 4:46Conan O'Brien?

  Banger.

• 4:47Speaker 01

  Banger.

• 4:47Conan O'Brien?

  Hey, that's pretty good.

• 4:48Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 4:49Conan O'Brien?

  Here's the clip.

• 4:50Speaker 01

  Al Pacino.

• 4:51Conan O'Brien?

  Let's listen.

• 4:57Conan O'Brien?

  You know, it's interesting because you're grabbed by the theater. You're this kid, as I said, who you start reading Chekhov. You start reading the classics and it grabs you and you start seeing some productions. You get into theater. You have so many go nowhere jobs just to stay alive. I mean, you're delivering papers, you're building superintendent for a while, but not a good one, I don't think.

• 5:25Speaker 03

  Never, never. The guy came out and started talking about me a few years back.

• 5:30Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 5:30Speaker 03

  Saying he was a terrible super or something like that. And I thought, why, why would he say that?

• 5:38Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 5:38Speaker 03

  Who's a terrible super? I'm sure there's a lot around, I mean, you know.

• 5:43Conan O'Brien?

  No, I saw that. It's a really old man who was like, I remember him. He was a terrible super. And I'm like, okay, take his Oscar back.

• 5:51Speaker 03

  Fine actor, terrible super.

• 5:56Conan O'Brien?

  Christopher Walken, bad mechanic.

• 6:00Conan O'Brien?

  Robert De Niro, that's just awful substitute teacher.

• 6:05Conan O'Brien?

  You know, it's like, what the fuck? What are you talking about? These are... So, you come along, you're doing, uh, theater, and then this thing that people dream about happens, which is, you get noticed. Francis Ford Coppola is gonna make The Godfather, and he says,

• 6:22Conan O'Brien?

  "I want this guy, Al Pacino." And the studio says, "Fuck you."

• 6:28Speaker 03

  Of course!

• 6:30Conan O'Brien?

  We want Robert Redford. We want, you know, we want, we, we, we want, uh, you know, we want someone who's been a success. We want someone who looks a certain way. We want someone probably blond-haired, blue-eyed, whatever.

• 6:44Speaker 03

  Sorry.

• 6:45Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 6:46Speaker 03

  I'm looking at you when I say it, I'm sorry.

• 6:50Conan O'Brien?

  They wanted me, actually.

• 6:51Speaker 03

  You know, my grandmother...

• 6:52Conan O'Brien?

  I was eight at the time, yeah.

• 6:54Speaker 03

  My grandmother on my mother's side has blond hair and blue eyes. So, just to note that.

• 7:00Conan O'Brien?

  Yep, it's in there. It's in you somewhere.

• 7:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, it is.

• 7:03Conan O'Brien?

  But what I'm saying is...

• 7:04Speaker 03

  I had to put it in.

• 7:05Conan O'Brien?

  You... They don't want you, but, and they, I've seen the screen tests where they're saying, "Okay, well, how about Jimmy Khan as Michael Cole?" How about... They're trying everybody. They're throwing everybody in there. You, but Francis Ford Coppola sticks with you. They start shooting, and you can tell, you're reading the book and it's riveting on the set. People are like, "I don't know about this guy." "I don't know about this guy." "I don't know what..." And you can feel it.

• 7:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, they were giggling.

• 7:35Conan O'Brien?

  You heard giggling.

• 7:36Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 7:37Conan O'Brien?

  So the, here's what's amazing to me. These scenes that I've watched and that everyone's watched in this room 100,000 times,

• 7:45Conan O'Brien?

  that are now iconic masterclasses in how you play a character. You're doing it, and people are going, "Oh, man. Let's hope they get a real actor in here soon." Which is unbelievable to me.

• 7:57Speaker 03

  Was it that severe, Conan?

• 8:03Conan O'Brien?

  I was an eight-year-old kid, but I was there! And I had a lot of pull with the studio. I called Paramount and I was like, "I don't think he's got it!" "Who is this?" "Eight-year-old Conan O'Brien!" "What are you...?" "I'll be a big deal someday, you'll see!" We're not using a real phone. Why are you mining one with your hands?

• 8:23Conan O'Brien?

  But.

• 8:24Speaker 03

  My god, it's funny.

• 8:26Conan O'Brien?

  But, uh, but no, and, and the thing is, which is, to me, I look at that performance and as you say in the book, your concept, which was clearly the right one, which is, you gotta slowly see Michael come to this position. And then there's the iconic scene where they're all trying to figure out, after Vito's been shot, what to do. And you are sitting there with your broken jaw and you say, okay, we arrange a meeting and the camera's pushing in. I can't watch that and I can't talk about it without tingling because I think it is a beautiful way to tell a story through acting, but it takes patience. And the studio was saying.

• 9:08Speaker 03

  Well, they wanted to see something else, I guess. And both Francis and I, I think, felt that way about, but we were unable, or at least I was unable to articulate what I was doing, but I was doing that. I thought about it on my long walks in Manhattan.

• 9:25Conan O'Brien?

  You talk about it, you would take long walks, you'd get the film, but it hasn't started shooting yet, you took long walks.

• 9:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, I would go all the way from 91st to the Village and back. 91st and Broadway. And I'd just think about the part. Think about it. I still do that with roles. I just think about them. And, uh, and, uh, it, it's fun. It gets me through the walk.

• 9:49Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. You get your step. Yeah, I'm glad to know that in, uh, coming up with who Michael Corleone was, you got your steps in.

• 9:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, there it is. I, I, I managed not to get hit by a car. And I think that's, in those days.

• 10:03Conan O'Brien?

  They should make a fit bit that tells you, you have achieved the character.

• 10:08Conan O'Brien?

  10,000 steps.

• 10:09Speaker 03

  Stop, stop walking.

• 10:10Conan O'Brien?

  Stop, stop now. You've nailed Michael Corleone. You've got it.

• 10:18Speaker 02

  Oh my God. Did you hear I said wow along with myself in the exact same time?

• 10:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, you did. Yeah, I think I saw that. And also, I love that it just cuts to you just so you could say wow.

• 10:28Speaker 02

  I know. What a dork. But I don't mind because we're in the room with fucking Al Pacino.

• 10:33Speaker 01

  I know. Can you believe that we get to do that?

• 10:36Speaker 02

  Conan's used to this. You and I, we don't, I mean, I guess you got to being his assistant all those years.

• 10:41Speaker 01

  Not Al Pacino, and also not in this kind of like atmosphere. And you could, I mean, I can tell just from looking at that clip, how I was feeling. And I was like, just don't say anything, don't move, don't do anything dumb.

• 10:55Speaker 02

  It was amazing because he's so nice.

• 10:58Speaker 01

  I know.

• 10:58Speaker 02

  And I was obsessed with The Godfather. One of the first movies I saw was The Godfather 2. I begged my mom to watch it. And at a very young age.

• 11:05Speaker 01

  Like three?

• 11:06Speaker 02

  I'm, it's one of my earliest memories of movies.

• 11:08Speaker 01

  Really?

• 11:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:09Speaker 01

  And it's a three hour movie?

• 11:11Speaker 02

  I know.

• 11:12Speaker 01

  I can't believe that was like, you watched it early on. I would never, I don't know, I was watching like Goonies.

• 11:18Speaker 02

  What a treat to be in the room with that guy.

• 11:20Speaker 01

  I know. That was really cool.

• 11:21Speaker 02

  Sitting across from Michael Corleone.

• 11:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:24Speaker 02

  Amazing.

• 11:24Speaker 01

  I know.

• 11:25Speaker 02

  And then this next guy's no slouch either.

• 11:28Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 11:28Speaker 02

  Thanks for going along.

• 11:31Speaker 01

  You know what? Yeah. Tom Hanks is next. And I was walking by and he was just standing in the hallway. And somebody introduced me, I think it was Paula who introduced me to him. And then he said, what's the first car you ever drove? And what's the car you're driving now? And it was just such a like, I'm sure that's a question he asks a lot of people just to like.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  He just had that ready to go?

• 11:49Speaker 01

  He had that ready to go. And it was so, it was so cool, but also made me reflect that my first car was like a broken down Jetta. And now I drive a minivan. So it's like, my evolution.

• 12:03Speaker 02

  You seem like a Jetta girl.

• 12:04Speaker 01

  Oh, I was, I had three Jettas before. Yeah. I had, I was a Jetta girl for sure.

• 12:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:09Speaker 01

  Is that a compliment?

• 12:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:11Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 12:12Speaker 02

  Let's, let's take.

• 12:15Speaker 01

  Did you just read the description? Because I did too.

• 12:20Speaker 02

  Yes. And I think I remember what I say in this. So let's, let's roll it.

• 12:28Conan O'Brien?

  You scared the hell out of me. I was on a bike with a friend of mine.

• 12:32Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 12:32Conan O'Brien?

  Won't get into the exact, but on a, taking a bike ride with a good friend of mine, Brad, and we're going up this-

• 12:38Speaker 04

  Pit.

• 12:39Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Maybe. And Brad Paisley. Uh, and, uh, suddenly this, this car, like a, kind of a Jeep SUV thing starts coming, and all of a sudden, the, the window comes down-

• 12:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 12:55Conan O'Brien?

  And you lean out the window and start yelling at me-

• 12:57Speaker 04

  I did, I yelled at you.

• 12:58Conan O'Brien?

  And you start doing some bit-

• 12:59Speaker 04

  I was a bit.

• 13:00Conan O'Brien?

  Which was really funny, doing a bit, and, uh, and then my friend is like, "That was Tom Hanks."

• 13:06Speaker 04

  Happens all the time.

• 13:07Conan O'Brien?

  But you know what? It was like laughing, like your head just came out of a-

• 13:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah. Knock, knock.

• 13:11Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, or it was like Batman when he was climbing up the side of a building and suddenly a window would open, and it's, it's, you know- It's Jerry Lewis. It's Jerry Lewis. It's Tom Hanks. I thought, "I live the most amazing life, where a, a darkened window can come down and a goofy Tom Hanks can pop out and yell at me when I'm on a bike."

• 13:29Speaker 04

  But think about everybody else, because on that, there's a lot of people that come there to, to walk that, that, you know, it's a long, and they're all kind of like bicycle weenie geeks, you know, guys with $6,000 mountain bikes and, "On your left!", you know, as they're, as they're going up and coming down, but they're gonna see you. I mean, you're as tall as Big Bird, for crying out loud-

• 13:49Conan O'Brien?

  I know.

• 13:49Speaker 04

  And they're gonna say, "I believe I saw Conan O'Brien struggling up the hill."

• 13:55Conan O'Brien?

  Have you heard that halfway up that ridge, there's this place that apparently, in the late 30s, you probably know about it, right?

• 14:03Speaker 04

  Absolutely true.

• 14:04Conan O'Brien?

  In the late 30s, some people who were pro Hitler and pro what the Nazis were doing- So Nazis? Yeah. Okay.

• 14:14Speaker 04

  Okay, go ahead.

• 14:15Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, they-

• 14:16Speaker 04

  As a lay historian, I'll come in and get the record straight when the topic comes.

• 14:19Conan O'Brien?

  They were members of the party. They, whatever, there were people who were sympathetic to that cause in the late 30s, before America was in the war, and they purchased a piece of land, am I correct?

• 14:30Speaker 04

  You are correct, sir.

• 14:31Conan O'Brien?

  That they, that they thought, that they thought would be, um, a place that the Fuhrer would like to hang, when and if he comes to America, maybe because he conquered it, I don't know the whole story. Do you know the story?

• 14:45Speaker 04

  It was owned by the German Bund. Uh, and there was a period of time, a German boon, the boon was essentially, hey, we're all Germans. We all live America. Let's form a fraternal organizations like other nationalities do.

• 14:59Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 14:59Speaker 04

  You know, and be, be, I'm, I'm gonna hope that before, before they found out just how bad Hitler was.

• 15:06Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 15:06Speaker 04

  You know, but there, there, I swear, I have seen photographs of like a Fourth of July, uh, in the 1930s, up there with the fireworks thing, and they would have, no lie, a picture of the founding fathers and a picture of Adolf Hitler, an American flag and a Nazi flag, uh, the German Nazi flag. And they were saying, our country is coming back, uh, et cetera, et cetera.

• 15:30Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 15:30Speaker 04

  And I just hope that maybe you can get away with that in 1930, you know, but it continued along. And in fact, it is now a scout camp, or it had been for a while. And I have, I have gone there to scout a location and there was like the main lodge, you know, there's tents and stuff like that. But there is a main lodge that honestly, looks like, you know, a German Alpine chalet.

• 15:56Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 15:56Speaker 04

  That all you have to do is paint it red, put a couple of Hocken cruisers on there and you are right back in Naziville, USA.

• 16:03Conan O'Brien?

  So this is a place that in our neighborhood, you go up this, there's this big hill and, and.

• 16:09Speaker 04

  Did I say Jerry Lewis also lived in this neighborhood?

• 16:12Speaker 02

  And why did you choose to live here, sir?

• 16:15Conan O'Brien?

  Listen, we have these meetings that are none of your business. No, but this is my story, which is that they, the, that was something I've always heard. And then occasionally you'll, you'll find that it, it mentioned that this piece of land lives and that maybe, and some people get the story, get, they get it wrong and they think that Hitler spent time there like in his board shorts, looking out at the Pacific, you know?

• 16:38Speaker 04

  He did come out for pilot season one.

• 16:42Speaker 04

  And he did, you know, needed a place to stay.

• 16:46Conan O'Brien?

  Six pilots didn't get one of them.

• 16:48Speaker 04

  Not a one.

• 16:50Conan O'Brien?

  It was almost a seventh friend, but anyway.

• 16:56Conan O'Brien?

  But I'm with, I'm with my friend once, my same friend Brad that you saw. I'm riding, grinding up that hill on our bikes to just try and get to this. Very steep in parts. We're grinding along and then we're these two women, like blonde, 22-year-old, I swear to God, wearing like bikini tops. Very, and they just looked like they were just come from a sorority party. They flag us down like they were in trouble and I said, what is it? And they went, do you know where the Hitler camp is?

• 17:28Speaker 04

  There you go.

• 17:29Conan O'Brien?

  Where's the Hitler camp?

• 17:30Speaker 04

  About that.

• 17:31Conan O'Brien?

  And I went, oh ladies, well, all right. Like, God, he's still pulling in the trim, that Addie Hitler. My God.

• 17:40Speaker 04

  Still pulling in the trim?

• 17:41Speaker 01

  I know what?

• 17:42Conan O'Brien?

  Jesus.

• 17:43Speaker 01

  Jesus, Matt.

• 17:45Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 17:45Conan O'Brien?

  Come on.

• 17:46Speaker 04

  Now, we are, we are making, we are making light of a very, very dark period, uh, without a doubt. So, yeah, I mean, you don't want to say, yeah, yeah, come on up. How do you get to, how do you get to Conan's house? Oh, well, if you, you've gone too far if you hit the Hitler camp.

• 18:00Conan O'Brien?

  Right.

• 18:02Speaker 04

  Make a U-turn at the Hitler camp.

• 18:05Conan O'Brien?

  When you get to the Mussolini cul-de-sac.

• 18:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:08Conan O'Brien?

  Take a left.

• 18:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 18:09Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, no.

• 18:11Speaker 04

  But yeah, that's up there and, uh, yeah, yeah.

• 18:14Conan O'Brien?

  The, um, I'm gonna switch gears here a little bit.

• 18:17Speaker 02

  Let's see how you do this.

• 18:19Conan O'Brien?

  And I want to talk about the Japanese and Jerry Lewis and 1944.

• 18:30Speaker 02

  One other major thing that happened with Tom Hanks that we have to cover is that he was the second, but no less significant, A-list celebrity to look diagonally across this table from the chair I'm sitting in right now and tell Aaron Blair to shut the fuck up.

• 18:46Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 18:46Speaker 02

  Blay, what did that feel like?

• 18:48Conan O'Brien?

  It's, uh, well, I always try to.

• 18:51Speaker 01

  You don't have to shout, Blay.

• 18:53Conan O'Brien?

  And shut the fuck up.

• 18:55Speaker 02

  Now there's three A-list celebrities.

• 18:56Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, you understand?

• 18:57Speaker 05

  Can I just say a thing very quickly? It's kind of tough for Eduardo and I because we're back, we're out of the limelight.

• 19:03Speaker 02

  I've been there a couple of times, I know.

• 19:05Speaker 05

  Except, I am in direct eye contact with every celebrity.

• 19:10Speaker 01

  Well, they're looking at me, really.

• 19:11Speaker 05

  Harrison Ford, Al Pacino.

• 19:12Speaker 01

  Okay, this might think they're looking at you.

• 19:14Speaker 05

  Well, you know what, and they do look at you, but then sometimes they look over at me.

• 19:17Speaker 01

  They're probably looking at me still.

• 19:19Speaker 05

  They look at you happily and they look at me like, what's happening over here? So whenever I say anything, it's always, they immediately want me to shut up. Because they want to hear from you.

• 19:29Speaker 01

  No, I think there's something about you that makes people think that they could just immediately just be, not shitty, but like joke around with you. Like, I'm saying this as a compliment.

• 19:40Speaker 05

  You're back peddling now and I'll take it? I appreciate it.

• 19:42Speaker 01

  No, I am saying it as a compliment. I don't think they feel comfortable saying shut the fuck up to just anybody. So there's something about, I gotta stop? I don't know, I'm trying to give them a compliment.

• 19:51Speaker 05

  But to answer your question, it's incredible that we get to interact with these people at all. So, the fact that both Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks told me to shut the fuck up.

• 20:00Speaker 02

  Amazing.

• 20:01Speaker 05

  Truly, I mean, life, life moment.

• 20:03Speaker 02

  But there has to be a third.

• 20:05Speaker 05

  Life moment. Well, I think there probably will be, and who's it gonna be? We should all take that.

• 20:09Speaker 02

  But will it happen organically or will it be someone that is aware of this?

• 20:13Speaker 06

  That was what I was gonna say. We don't think that Tom Hanks was aware.

• 20:16Speaker 02

  No, it felt real.

• 20:18Speaker 06

  Harrison Ford telling Blake to shut the fuck up. It was just, but it was such a, like, what are the odds? That they would use the exact same words?

• 20:23Speaker 01

  Yes. And the best part about when Tom Hanks did it is we all collectively celebrated. Yes!

• 20:29Speaker 02

  That's why a third one is gonna blow the roof off this place. I know what you're saying though about being in the eye line. I am in Conan's direct eye line throughout the whole entire interview. And I find the more esteemed the guest, this is a look behind the curtain here.

• 20:42Speaker 01

  Oh, I agree with you, whatever you're about to say.

• 20:44Speaker 02

  The less he will look at the guest and the more he will talk to me, which makes me so, because I have to do that fuel face where I'm fueling him with, with energy and admiration and laughs. And it's not like, it's not legitimate, it is, but I'm very conscious of, I've gotta keep this guy going, here I go. And it's just a hell of a thing.

• 21:01Speaker 05

  Now, see, I feel the same way about the celebrity and I overdid it, I think, with John Mayer. Because John Mayer- Mayor at one point stops and he goes, "Man, you are really vibing with me right now."

• 21:12Speaker 01

  I remember that.

• 21:13Speaker 05

  And I was like, "Oh, my God. Oh, no. Like, have I screwed up?" Like, you know, because I'm trying to... Exactly, exactly the same thing. It's like being under a microscope. And so I find myself after these podcasts sometimes drained.

• 21:25Conan O'Brien?

  Exhausted.

• 21:25Speaker 05

  Exhausted, because you're kind of like an emotional cheerleader.

• 21:28Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 21:28Speaker 05

  And not that, again...

• 21:29Conan O'Brien?

  Your cheeks hurt.

• 21:30Speaker 05

  I absolutely enjoy being here, but it is kind of like a sending vibes or just like giving somebody back good energy. And, uh, but yeah, yeah, I totally agree. But life moments, they are life highlight moments. I'm anxious to see who's gonna be number three.

• 21:46Conan O'Brien?

  I am too. I am too.

• 21:55Conan O'Brien?

  Your name represents everything you've built, okay? Everything. Like, I feel that way about my name.

• 21:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:59Conan O'Brien?

  It stands for all of the work, good and not so good in my life. But guess what? Your children's names represent their whole futures.

• 22:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:08Conan O'Brien?

  Your children haven't even started building their futures, but their identities are already valuable. Your child's clean credit history can make them a target for identity thieves. Never thought of it that way, but it's true. Identity thieves can open loans and credit cards using your child's social security number, racking up debt and ruining their credit, and you may not notice until they try and get their first credit card. So it could be a long time.

• 22:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:31Conan O'Brien?

  Well, guess what? With LifeLock, you can add family members to your plan, giving you the power to block identity threats targeting your children. Now, Sony, your kids are pretty young still.

• 22:45Speaker 01

  What?

• 22:46Conan O'Brien?

• 23:10Conan O'Brien?

  Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is so good. It's almost impossible not to finish it before the meal arrives. It's just too good to wait. That happens to me sometimes.

• 23:18Speaker 01

  Me too.

• 23:19Conan O'Brien?

  You can try rules like no sipping until the appetizer arrives, or you tell your friend, "Don't let me touch my glass." But every time you're staring at an empty glass. So if you've ever finished your Coke Zero before the first fry hits the table, you're among friends. It happens. Occupational hazard with Coke Zero.

• 23:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

  Real Coca-Cola taste, zero sugar, too good to wait. Enjoy an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero Sugar today.

• 23:48Conan O'Brien?

  Earth can be a lot. There's gravity, there's mosquitoes. And a sun that will gulf us in about five billion years, give or take.

• 23:55Speaker 01

  Oh, good.

• 23:56Conan O'Brien?

  It is going to eventually incinerate us, the sun, but we've got five billion years.

• 23:59Speaker 01

  Okay, that's fine.

• 24:00Conan O'Brien?

  Cosmically speaking, you're under break, so escape to Pluto TV.

• 24:03Speaker 01

  That's where this was going.

• 24:05Conan O'Brien?

  Yep, I knew the second I saw, the minute I saw the sun exploding and incinerating us, I knew this was going to Pluto TV.

• 24:37Speaker 02

  This next one was very special to us because Carol Burnett is an absolute legend. And we went to the Four Seasons Hotel.

• 24:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:46Speaker 02

  And got to talk to her there. This is a very special story about another absolute legend, Lucille Ball. Both of these women were formative in my youth for television and everybody else, I'm sure. But this was an incredible day.

• 24:58Speaker 01

  I know, this was one of those like special days where I was like, I'm gonna remember this just forever. Just being here, talking to her, it's amazing. I just, I...

• 25:10Speaker 02

  Oh, boy, we better roll it. Someone's gonna need to take a break.

• 25:18Conan O'Brien?

  I was, wanted to ask you about Lucille Ball because obviously, growing up, even though the show had long been gone, it was running constantly in reruns. I Love Lucy, and that was the format for the modern sitcom that has endured for, you know, fifty, sixty years. And I know that she was very kind to you. She saw you as, hey, this kid has something. I like her. How did she reach out to you?

• 25:48Speaker 07

  Well, I

• 25:48Conan O'Brien?

  Or how'd you meet her?

• 25:49Speaker 07

  I was doing the Off-Broadway show called Once Upon a Mattress. And we had just opened the night before, and the second night, there was a lot of buzz I could hear in the audience. And Lucy was in the audience the second night. I remember I peeked through the curtain, and I saw this big shock of red hair, and there she was. I was more nervous that night than I was opening night, the night before, because she was in the audience.

• 26:13Conan O'Brien?

  Of course, yeah.

• 26:13Speaker 07

  Anyway, it went okay, and I had this funky little dressing room off-Broadway. She knocked on the door after the show and came in, and I had this couch, and it had a spring coming up.

• 26:27Speaker 07

  And she was gonna say, I said, "Look out," she said, "I see it."

• 26:34Conan O'Brien?

  It's in my first rodeo.

• 26:36Speaker 07

  Anyway, we visited for about a half hour, and she said, she called me Kid, because she was twenty-two years older.

• 26:44Speaker 07

  She said, "If you ever need me for anything, give me a call." So about four or five years later, I was doing, I was gonna, did a few things, and then CBS was gonna give me a special, a one-hour variety thing, if I could get a major guest star. So the producers said, "Call Lucy." And I said, "Oh, I don't wanna bother her." He said, "Well, all she can do is say, 'I'd love to, but I can't, I'm busy.'" Got her on the phone, called her office. She came up, "Hey kid, you're doing great. What's hap-" I was just, "Bluh." I said, "Oh Lucy, I'm do-"

• 27:22Speaker 07

  "I know you're busy." She said, "When do you want me?"

• 27:25Conan O'Brien?

  Oh.

• 27:26Speaker 07

  And she did, we did the show together. So then when I got my variety show, and then I did several guest appearances on her later

• 27:36Conan O'Brien?

  Yes.

• 27:36Speaker 07

  shows.

• 27:37Conan O'Brien?

  Yes.

• 27:37Speaker 07

  The Lucille Ball Show and when she played Lucy Carmichael.

• 27:41Conan O'Brien?

  That's right. With Gail Gordon.

• 27:43Speaker 07

  Right.

• 27:43Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 27:43Speaker 07

  Right. And then when I got my show, she came on. So we kind of traded on and off. And so, oh wow. This one time, she's on my show and we have a dinner break before the orchestra rehearsal. So she and I went over to the farmer's market to have, so we were in the Chinese restaurant there. And she's knocking back a couple whiskey sours.

• 28:11Conan O'Brien?

  Please tell me it's the morning.

• 28:13Speaker 07

  It was the night time.

• 28:14Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, okay.

• 28:15Speaker 07

  And so at that time, of course, my husband, Joe Hamilton, was executive, was producing our show. And so she now was not with Desi. She said, "You know, kid, it's great that you got Joe, you know, to handle a lot of stuff for you because when I was married to the Cuban."

• 28:39Conan O'Brien?

  Like he's a cigar.

• 28:45Speaker 07

  He did everything. Desi did everything. He took care of the scripts. He took care of the lighting, the camera work. He's the one who invented the three cameras.

• 28:54Conan O'Brien?

  Yes.

• 28:54Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 28:54Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, genius, yeah.

• 28:55Speaker 07

  Yeah. And also she said, "When I came into the Monday morning, you know, the table read, everything was perfect because he had seen to it. And all I had to do is be crazy Lucy, you know, fine." So then we got a divorce. Now I'm gonna do the Lucy Karma, whatever it was. And I came in, no Desi, and we read the script and she said, "It was awful."

• 29:23Speaker 07

  Kid, it stank. And she said, and I thought, oh God, what am I gonna do? Desi's not here. He did it. She called for lunch and she said, I, she went back to the, her office. She said, I've got to be strong.

• 29:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 29:38Speaker 07

  I've gotta be, I gotta confront this the way Desi would.

• 29:44Speaker 07

  Says, so I knew what I had to do. Went back to the table read. And I told them in no uncertain terms how I felt about the script, how we had to fix it.

• 29:56Speaker 07

  She said, kid, and she took an L. And that's when they put the S on the end of my last name.

• 30:10Speaker 02

  Now she sent you, I think, flowers every day on your birthday.

• 30:15Speaker 07

  On my birthday, in this one birthday, I got up in the morning and turned on the Today Show. She had passed away. On my birthday. And that afternoon, I got flowers that said, happy birthday, kid. Yeah. So we, we had a, a great bond.

• 30:36Speaker 02

  Legend.

• 30:37Speaker 01

  That's amazing.

• 30:38Speaker 02

  Do you remember she came into that room and she, there was probably 15 people in that room. She shook everyone's hand, asked for their name, and then after the interview was over, said goodbye to everybody, pretty much by name.

• 30:50Speaker 01

  Like a total pro. And also there are moments when everybody's on their best behavior.

• 30:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 30:55Speaker 01

  You do, you know, like, we're all like dressed a little nicer. We're all not goofing off.

• 31:01Speaker 02

  Of some kind.

• 31:01Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 31:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:02Speaker 01

  And yeah, yeah, we had the same amount of gravitas towards her as we would. A president, a first lady.

• 31:09Speaker 02

  Yeah. All right, this next one is Nisi Nash with a very funny story.

• 31:19Conan O'Brien?

  I've always heard it was your idea to put on the prosthetic fake booty. Is that true?

• 31:24Speaker 07

  That's a fact.

• 31:25Conan O'Brien?

  That's a fact.

• 31:25Speaker 07

  Because you know why? Because the women in my family, I did not see them on TV. You know what I mean? Now you could buy a butt on every corner. You know what I mean?

• 31:40Speaker 07

  You can buy one on every corner. But then it wasn't popular.

• 31:45Conan O'Brien?

  Right.

• 31:45Speaker 07

  To have all of the, you know what I mean? And I went to so many booty fittings, like you don't even understand. And they couldn't get it right because they were building it straight back. So I went to my girlfriend and I brought her up there who had, you know, the natural slammer jammer. And I'm like, you see, you gotta start from the hips and wrap it around. So I got the booty right. It was really.

• 32:09Conan O'Brien?

  I love that you brought your friend in. What was your friend's name?

• 32:14Speaker 07

  I don't know if I should say it.

• 32:17Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, you just, I mean, it's a compliment. But I left saying to your friend, hey, come on over here. I need your ass. I need your ass. Get your ass over here, literally. Get your ass over here.

• 32:28Speaker 07

  Literally. And you know, let me tell you something. That friend of mine, true story, her butt and my, and my up top was how we got to look Prince right in the face. We didn't have tickets to this Grammy party he was at. So we went around the side and there was a, a, a security guard. I said, girl, you know what to do. She started walking backwards. I started walking forwards. I was like, come on. And we walked over there, so he let us in the back door. So we get in the party and then we lied and said that, I'm always lying to get a job, right? We lied and said she was Prince's cousin. And so we go.

• 33:10Conan O'Brien?

  Oh my God.

• 33:11Speaker 07

  The purple one was behind this door. So we knocked, we walk up to security like, yeah, we need to get in there. She's like, I'm his cousin. I'm like, yep, she's his cousin. And he, he looked at us up and down. He said, one minute. He closes the door and goes.

• 33:29Speaker 07

  The door opens, it is Prince. He looked at us and before we could take a breath, he said, "Nice try," and closed the door in our face. I said, "But we got to see him." He said, "Nice try" to us.

• 33:45Speaker 01

  That is so cool.

• 33:47Speaker 07

  And I don't even know what that had to do with the booty butt. The point is, it was that same girl's butt.

• 33:52Conan O'Brien?

  She walked backwards to get in.

• 33:53Speaker 01

  It's the power.

• 33:54Conan O'Brien?

  That's how she got everything in life.

• 33:56Speaker 01

  She walked backwards.

• 33:58Conan O'Brien?

  We denied his card. Oh yeah? Check this out. Their card works.

• 34:03Speaker 01

  Conan's so jealous right now.

• 34:05Conan O'Brien?

  Well, okay, let's talk about this. I have famously, I have no ass. There's just nothing back there. It's a straight drop. And I'm thinking I should get a prosthetic. Is there something they make for men now?

• 34:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, but make sure it's done right. You should bring a friend in who has the right butt and then have them do it.

• 34:23Conan O'Brien?

  I don't know. I don't know what the right butt looks like. Yeah, exactly. You should come. And I should say, "I want this."

• 34:31Speaker 07

  But the point I was making is that that butt wasn't popular back then. That body type, not even the butt, just the body type. You know, and I wanted to be somebody that my aunties could look at and see themselves. And so I was like, I want to look like the women in my family. And I have to tell you, so many men met me in life after and were so disappointed that I didn't have the thing on. They were like, "You lost weight." I'm like, "No."

• 35:03Conan O'Brien?

  I can go get it.

• 35:06Conan O'Brien?

  It's in the back of the car.

• 35:08Speaker 07

  Yeah, basically.

• 35:10Speaker 01

  You could borrow hers.

• 35:11Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I don't, don't they make something for men?

• 35:12Speaker 01

  No, I'm just saying, you could borrow the one she uses for Reno 911.

• 35:16Conan O'Brien?

  All right, maybe I can, do you have a name for it? You nicknamed it?

• 35:20Speaker 07

  I did not.

• 35:23Speaker 07

  But you know, my prosthetic one, like I have one that I would wear under the uniform. But the prosthetic one that I wore with the thong bathing suit, that one, um, somebody stole it.

• 35:36Conan O'Brien?

  You bet they did.

• 35:37Speaker 07

  It was in a temperature-controlled locker somewhere.

• 35:40Conan O'Brien?

  If I knew where that was, I'd grab it. I'd take it on vacation.

• 35:44Speaker 01

  What are you gonna, what are you gonna do with it?

• 35:45Conan O'Brien?

  I don't want to talk about what I'm gonna do to it. That's my business.

• 35:52Conan O'Brien?

  You're invading my privacy right now. I buy two airline tickets and the prosthetic ass is in the other one. And we both have a glass of champagne.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  Oh my god.

• 36:09Speaker 01

  Can I tell you, I love Nisi Nash and I love Reno 911 and I had no idea that was a fake butt.

• 36:15Speaker 02

  Oh my god.

• 36:16Speaker 01

  Until that conversation.

• 36:17Speaker 02

  And between that and Conan's story about Prince, which he's told a few times on the show right before he went on stage.

• 36:22Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:23Speaker 02

  The more I hear about that little guy.

• 36:26Speaker 01

  That little guy?

• 36:27Speaker 02

  Well, he's very little.

• 36:28Speaker 01

  He is, I know, but...

• 36:29Speaker 02

  He's just a mischief maker.

• 36:30Speaker 01

  That's true.

• 36:30Speaker 02

  Someone just told me a story that he was at a huge gala party, just as a guest, stood up on a table and hopped from table to table to table to the exit, as if it was just all happening spontaneously. But then if you did any further looking down, you saw all of his people were prepared with their hands clasped together to be his little bridge from table to table to table.

• 36:51Speaker 01

  So he like talked about it before.

• 36:54Speaker 02

  With them. This had been planned, but it was all made to seem spontaneous.

• 36:58Speaker 01

  That's insane.

• 36:58Speaker 02

  This is also coming like third, fourth degree. Who knows if it's true, but you print the legend.

• 37:03Speaker 01

  Oh man, that's awesome. I loved when Nisi Nash was here because I've always loved Reno 911.

• 37:09Speaker 02

  Me too.

• 37:10Speaker 01

  And just, she was just like, she had that energy the whole time. You really missed out. It was so much fun. You really, really missed out. Do you ever?

• 37:20Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 37:20Speaker 01

  I hate missing recordings.

• 37:22Speaker 02

  I do too. I missed Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart, because I had to go back and see my family and you just, you know, you curse your family.

• 37:30Speaker 01

  Do you? I really don't have much going on besides this, so I just, I really don't miss very many, but I have missed a couple and I always have big time FOMO. There was one, I remember. I was just like, I wish I was here for that.

• 37:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're almost always here. I don't have a ton of FOMO in my life. If anything, I have a fear of not missing out.

• 37:50Speaker 01

  Of not?

• 37:51Speaker 02

  Of fear of being included.

• 37:52Speaker 01

  Oh, a FOMO?

• 37:55Speaker 02

  Yes, that's the one.

• 37:57Speaker 02

  But...

• 37:57Speaker 01

  Foby, where did the J come from?

• 38:01Speaker 02

  It's a soft tooth.

• 38:04Speaker 02

  So, well, I did not miss this next one, which I am very glad for because this was a really funny guest and a really funny story.

• 38:11Speaker 01

  I have to say, when we find out who gets booked on the show, it's, there's an email sent to all of us just being like, this person got booked on this day. And it's very rare for me to respond and just be like, I'm really excited, even though I am. But this one, I replied to everybody on the email, including, I think, probably Sirius XM employees and like a lot of other executives who don't care about my opinion.

• 38:35Speaker 02

  The guest himself.

• 38:37Speaker 01

  And I was just like, I cannot wait for this episode.

• 38:41Speaker 02

  I think you said something like, Little Baby Billy?

• 38:44Speaker 01

  No, that wasn't me. I forgot what I said. I, I can't remember, but I feel like you said Little Baby Billy.

• 38:51Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 38:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, but then everybody else started responding. It's like, every single person was excited about this.

• 38:57Conan O'Brien?

  You responded, when I saw this booking, I gasped.

• 39:00Speaker 01

  That's right. That's right. That's what I said.

• 39:02Speaker 02

  So, this is Walton Goggins.

• 39:03Speaker 01

  Anti-climactic. Yeah.

• 39:10Conan O'Brien?

  You've played so many great characters, but in The Righteous Gemstones, I feel like, the minute I started watching that show, and then you showed up, and I remember not knowing you were gonna be in the show for some reason, and the minute you show up, I thought, you can't do The Righteous Gemstones without Walton Goggins. You have to have him.

• 39:30Speaker 06

  Did I tell you the story about the, about the, David Gordon Green was directing that episode? And the very first time you meet Baby Billy, he's in a, he's in a bathtub.

• 39:39Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, I know this. He's in a, he's in a hot tub.

• 39:41Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah. Hot tub, bathtub, outside, looking out at his land, looking out over his empire.

• 39:46Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 39:47Speaker 06

  And, and at some point in the scene, he stands up and, you know, he's, he's, he's fully naked.

• 39:54Conan O'Brien?

  And the viewer sees.

• 39:56Speaker 06

  Viewer sees everything. And, and then he turns around, he gets, puts on his bathrobe and then steps out of the bathtub. Well, they called in a, a body double to do that.

• 40:06Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 40:07Speaker 06

  Who was 76, 78 years old, something like that, to be in the, in the tub, right? And they flew him in from Chicago. I'm like, how did you, what's the audition process? You couldn't find him in South Carolina? Really? You had to go to Chicago? So he comes in and I meet him.

• 40:25Conan O'Brien?

  You had to go to Chicago to find a dick?

• 40:27Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 40:28Conan O'Brien?

  This guy's top of his game, you have to understand.

• 40:30Speaker 06

  Top of his game.

• 40:31Speaker 01

  The Tosted guy.

• 40:32Speaker 06

  And I met him on that day and he was dressed like me, kinda looked like me. And I'm thinking like, who are you? He said, I'm you, you know, I'm your body dub. I'm standing in for you. And it's like, oh, okay. Cut to the show comes out, there it is. And I get a phone call from this friend of mine who says, "Oh my God, baby Billy Freeman, I just, I can't stand it. I love it so much. And can I just say how good your body looks?" And I said, "What the fuck are you talking about?"

• 41:03Conan O'Brien?

  He's 76.

• 41:04Speaker 06

  76 years old. You think that's my fucking body?

• 41:13Speaker 06

  True story.

• 41:14Conan O'Brien?

  I did wonder, because the penis is right there.

• 41:18Speaker 06

  Penis is right there.

• 41:19Conan O'Brien?

  In high definition.

• 41:20Speaker 06

  Yeah, that's right.

• 41:21Conan O'Brien?

  Beautifully lit.

• 41:22Speaker 06

  I mean, it's not, it's not, it's a nice penis, I mean, it's a nice penis.

• 41:25Conan O'Brien?

  But it's definitely a Chicago penis.

• 41:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, it's a Chicago penis.

• 41:28Conan O'Brien?

  And you know what? South side. Deep dish. That's a South side penis. Deep dish, South side. That's a White Sox penis. That's not a Cubs penis.

• 41:36Speaker 06

  Does not have a southern accent.

• 41:37Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Oh, very, very Yankee. What's going on here? What are we doing here down south? Penis, shut up, you're ruining it. I just got out of a hot tub. Yeah. Gotta get a sausage.

• 41:56Speaker 01

  Oh, I love him. Did you watch Vice Principals?

• 42:00Speaker 06

  Yes, definitely.

• 42:01Speaker 05

  Can I just say a thing where I, like you, so I love Walton Goggins, he's one of my favorite people. And sometimes when celebrities get here, I get to just say a few words to them as they come up the stairs. And I had to tell Walton Goggins this. He comes up, he's very nice, I shake his hand and we're talking for a second and I go, "You know, I have to say, you have a gin, right?" He goes, "Oh, yes, I do." And I was like, "Uh, my old boss and I, Dan Ferguson, got very drunk one night on your gin and it was delicious." And he put his hand on my chest and goes, "Well, then may I just say, you are welcome for your inebriation."

• 42:35Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 42:37Speaker 02

  Blessing you've been baptized in the spirits of Walton Goggins.

• 42:40Speaker 05

  The most charming man ever. It's just dripping with charm.

• 42:44Speaker 01

  Just dripping. Yeah, I love him.

• 42:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:47Speaker 01

  I think I love every single role he's in. And if I hear he's in something, I will watch it.

• 42:52Speaker 02

  He's one of those actors.

• 42:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:53Speaker 02

  It's true.

• 42:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's why I watched Fallout. Even though I never knew anything about the video game. I watched the show.

• 42:59Speaker 02

  And he's very serious in that, right?

• 43:00Speaker 01

  He has like barely a face.

• 43:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:04Speaker 01

  What's wrong with it?

• 43:05Conan O'Brien?

  He's not, he's not totally serious, but he's, he's the villain.

• 43:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:08Conan O'Brien?

  He's the anti.

• 43:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you haven't watched it, you should. It's really good.

• 43:11Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 43:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:19Conan O'Brien?

  Your name represents everything you've built, okay? Everything, like I feel that way about my name.

• 43:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:24Conan O'Brien?

  It stands for all of the work, good and not so good in my life. But guess what? Your children's names represent their whole futures.

• 43:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:33Conan O'Brien?

  Your children haven't even started building their futures, but their identities are already valuable. Your child's clean credit history can make them a target for identity thieves. Never thought of it that way, but it's true. Identity thieves can open loans and credit cards using your child's social security number, racking up debt and ruining their credit. And you may not notice until they try and get their first credit card. So it could be a long time.

• 43:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:55Conan O'Brien?

  Well, guess what? With LifeLock, you can add family members to your plan, giving you the power to block identity threats targeting your children. Now, Sony, your kids are pretty young still.

• 44:10Speaker 01

  What?

• 44:10Conan O'Brien?

• 44:34Conan O'Brien?

  Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is so good, it's almost impossible not to finish it before the meal arrives. It's just too good to wait. That happens to me sometimes.

• 44:43Speaker 01

  Me too.

• 44:43Conan O'Brien?

  You can try rules like no sipping until the appetizer arrives, or you tell your friend, "Don't let me touch my glass." But every time you're staring at an empty glass. So if you've ever finished your Coke Zero before the first fry hits the table, you're among friends. It happens. Occupational hazard with Coke Zero.

• 45:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 45:01Conan O'Brien?

  Real Coca-Cola taste, zero sugar, too good to wait. Enjoy an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero Sugar today.

• 45:12Conan O'Brien?

  Earth can be a lot. There's gravity, there's mosquitoes.

• 45:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 45:16Conan O'Brien?

  And a sun that will gulf us in about five billion years, give or take.

• 45:19Speaker 01

  Oh, good.

• 45:20Conan O'Brien?

  It is going to eventually incinerate us, the sun, but we've got five billion years.

• 45:23Speaker 01

  Okay, that's time.

• 45:24Conan O'Brien?

  Cosmically speaking, you earned a break, so escape to Pluto TV.

• 45:28Speaker 01

  That's where this was going.

• 45:29Conan O'Brien?

  Yep, I knew the second I saw, the minute I saw the sun exploding and incinerating us, I knew this was going to Pluto TV.

• 46:02Speaker 02

  Well, next up are two of the most lovable people that you'll have on this show.

• 46:07Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 46:08Speaker 02

  Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson.

• 46:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 46:10Speaker 02

  In a very special circumstance, I think it gets explained in the clip, probably. But what a, what a way to kick off this episode.

• 46:18Speaker 01

  I know, we were all waiting for Woody to get here, and he explains it in this clip, right? I mean, that's what the clip is.

• 46:25Speaker 02

  But I think anybody, even Woody, probably would say it's probably not uncommon to sit and wait around for Woody Harrelson, because he lives on a different clock, time zone, planet, or whatever. But this was a very special reason.

• 46:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 46:37Speaker 02

  Let's, let's watch.

• 46:44Conan O'Brien?

  I think we should address the elephant in the room. Woody, we started a little bit later than we thought, because you had a bit of a tumble. Is it fair to call it a tumble?

• 46:51Speaker 02

  I think a tumble's a fair term.

• 46:53Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 46:54Speaker 02

  Did go over my handlebars.

• 46:56Conan O'Brien?

  You went over the handlebars?

• 46:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, I was honestly, and embarrassingly, I was passing this Tesla on the left that I felt was moving a little slow, but I didn't realize he was moving slow, because he's taking a left.

• 47:12Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, and you were on a motorcycle.

• 47:14Speaker 02

  On a motorcycle.

• 47:15Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, and is that your primary way? of getting around a motorcycle?

• 47:19Speaker 02

  Well, I always feel like the shortest distance between two lines, between two points in LA is a motorcycle. So I do tend to take it, but today it proved not to be so very fast.

• 47:35Conan O'Brien?

  Right, because we lost some time while people were figuring out, are you alive? Your soul had to re-enter your body.

• 47:41Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:42Conan O'Brien?

  Did you think for a second when you were going over the hood of the Tesla, this is going to be a huge problem, or did you, the whole time, were you thinking, I'm alright?

• 47:50Speaker 02

  No, I always thought I'd be okay. I just felt like there was some pain involved. I felt the pain. But I never thought I'd be, you know, killed or anything.

• 48:00Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 48:00Speaker 02

  Or maimed.

• 48:01Conan O'Brien?

  Your hand is wrapped up like someone in a cartoon.

• 48:05Speaker 02

  That's because I wrapped it.

• 48:06Conan O'Brien?

  Did you, and you, is this true?

• 48:08Speaker 02

  I wrapped it and I thought it looked funnier that way.

• 48:13Conan O'Brien?

  So, so, so let me get this straight. All of your first aid training is helping people in a way that will look funny?

• 48:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:20Conan O'Brien?

  Not, not, it's not going to help him not get infected or anything like that?

• 48:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:23Conan O'Brien?

  You didn't set the bones in the proper way, you set them in the funny way.

• 48:28Speaker 02

  And we're in the bathroom and I'm like, didn't you played a doctor, right? And he says, yeah, I also played a lawyer so we can sue the guy.

• 48:38Speaker 02

  I said, well, I think it's gonna have to be a lawyer for the defense.

• 48:44Speaker 02

  Sure, I'm not as good with that, sorry.

• 48:46Conan O'Brien?

  So, this is fascinating, just to be behind the scenes and know that you guys are both icons. You're on the way to do the podcast with your friend Ted Danson. You wipe out on the motorcycle, you hit a Tesla, you get it together, you come here, you need medical attention. So Ted Danson is the one that helps clean the wound and wrap you? Yes. Why, why isn't we called a real doctor at any point?

• 49:12Speaker 01

  I'd take Ted Danson over a real doctor.

• 49:14Speaker 02

  Thank you, thank you very much. By the way, his confidence, his demeanor, everything about the way he does it is you feel like, yes, I'm in the best hands.

• 49:25Speaker 02

  Never doubted it. I did kinda have that. I was choking back tears, but I was efficient.

• 49:31Conan O'Brien?

  First of all, I'm very happy that you're okay.

• 49:33Speaker 02

  Me too. It was weird when he asked me to disrobe, but I'm not a-

• 49:38Speaker 03

  For hygienic purposes.

• 49:41Conan O'Brien?

  It's for hygienic and also tax purposes. So, uh, do you wear, what kind of protection do you wear when you ride?

• 49:48Speaker 03

  Whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 49:49Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, no. We're not doing that protection, the other protection. Are you armored in any way? Are you wearing a helmet?

• 49:55Speaker 02

  I did, I was wearing a helmet.

• 49:57Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 49:58Speaker 02

  And so, I actually did help me because I did hit my head, but

• 50:02Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 50:02Speaker 02

  The helmet, so no problem.

• 50:04Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, good.

• 50:04Speaker 03

  What are you on? This makes me sad, buddy.

• 50:08Speaker 02

  Really?

• 50:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 50:10Speaker 02

  Don't be sad.

• 50:11Speaker 03

  I am, I'm sad.

• 50:12Conan O'Brien?

  Sad and why sad?

• 50:14Speaker 03

  Well, you could have been hurt badly, badly. It makes me sad.

• 50:17Conan O'Brien?

  Does it, uh, does it inform what you might do in the future? Might you?

• 50:20Speaker 03

  No, that's out of the question, I'm sure.

• 50:24Speaker 02

  It should, it certainly should.

• 50:26Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. But this is how you are, right? You live in life on the edge?

• 50:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, maybe, maybe, yeah, right. In other words, maybe I should just slow down in life and just take it a little.

• 50:38Speaker 03

  Hey, you're doing great. You skinned your hand. Man up. Sorry, I've switched, I've switched.

• 50:44Conan O'Brien?

  You just switched.

• 50:45Speaker 03

  I had my cherry moment.

• 50:47Conan O'Brien?

  I'm sorry. Literally 15 seconds ago, you said, "I'm so sad, I'm so sad."

• 50:53Speaker 03

  I'm over it.

• 50:53Conan O'Brien?

  "You're my friend and I'm so sad," and then you're telling him to shut the fuck up.

• 50:56Speaker 03

  Right. Yeah, my sadness didn't play in the room, so I went.

• 51:00Speaker 02

  He thought about me going slower.

• 51:02Conan O'Brien?

  My sadness, my sadness didn't play in the room. That is such a sick thing to say. Such a sick thing to say. Oh, wow, we're here in the ward with the terminally ill children. Hope you guys feel better soon, uh, tough break. Hey, that didn't play so well, let me try something else.

• 51:21Conan O'Brien?

  Hey, Timmy, how long you got? Jesus Christ, Ted. I know what you mean, though, Woody. There's something about Ted. Every time I've talked to him, see him out in the world, I'm immediately, I just get this calm. You have a very calming presence and I don't, yes. Is some of it maybe related to the fact that you are so ubiquitous and well-known? Yes, but do other people say that? You just, you'd be like an amazing therapist.

• 51:50Speaker 03

  You know, I'm doing these, uh, moderate to severe plaque psoriasis commercials, which I think tells you all you need to know, but under this, I am, by the way.

• 52:02Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 52:02Speaker 02

  You can calm other people, but there's no calmness in the interior. Yeah.

• 52:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 52:07Conan O'Brien?

  Now, do you suffer from this malady, or is they just, the money is too much to turn down?

• 52:11Speaker 06

  I live on the edge of fear, basically.

• 52:13Conan O'Brien?

  Really?

• 52:14Speaker 06

  Yes, I remember you sitting me down once during Cheers, and I think I was about to get divorced or something. He said, Teddy, why are you so fearful? Stuck in my head all the time. And that's what I find amazing. You may have fear and all of that, but you take such big chunks out of life. And I love that.

• 52:33Conan O'Brien?

  And yourself, apparently. I lost a chunk to that. Larchmont.

• 52:38Speaker 06

  Um, is this on camera, by the way?

• 52:40Conan O'Brien?

  You, we, I think we're gonna see this. It's comical. Um, that's the thing one of the Three Stooges would put on their head, if they had a headache.

• 52:48Speaker 06

  Does anyone have an ice pack?

• 52:49Conan O'Brien?

  I haven't seen an ice pack like that in 50 years.

• 52:52Speaker 02

  Not a bad idea, though.

• 52:55Speaker 02

  Does it look cool?

• 52:56Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, yeah. It looks really cool.

• 53:02Speaker 02

  What you can't see is, didn't he also have his leg propped up? And listeners can go to the Team Coco YouTube channel and see these clips, because often the clips themselves are longer as well than what you're hearing today. But this one, because also, they're drinking large glasses of watermelon juice.

• 53:17Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 53:18Speaker 02

  Or like strawberry aguafresca or something. It's just quite a sight.

• 53:21Speaker 06

  They get it for every recording they do of their podcast, so that, you know, they do a podcast here where everybody knows your name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson, sometimes, is the title. And yeah, they get these watermelon juices.

• 53:31Speaker 02

  But they both like watermelon juice?

• 53:33Speaker 06

  I think that's adorable. One of them turned the other one on to it, and then they get, and now it's a must.

• 53:37Conan O'Brien?

  I bet Woody turned Ted on.

• 53:39Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 53:40Speaker 06

  But I will say that they have this, like, odd couple dynamic that is really special, and there's just like, they just love each other like brothers.

• 53:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:48Speaker 06

  And it's a good plug for the other podcast, because the other, if you like them together, and I can't imagine anyone doesn't, the other podcast is really, really great.

• 53:55Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 53:56Speaker 01

  Do you ever, after we leave, are you like, I wanna be friends with you so bad?

• 54:00Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 54:01Speaker 01

  I feel, every once in a while, someone will come in and they'll leave, and I'll be like, we could be, we could have such a good friendship together. I thought about that with Mila Kunis.

• 54:09Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 54:10Speaker 01

  I've thought about that with a few other people, but Mila Kunis jumps out, because we, I feel like we really bonded when she came on here. But with them, I really just like, would love to just go to dinner parties with them and just be friends.

• 54:24Speaker 06

  You know, Woody invited our team. A handful of us went.

• 54:27Speaker 04

  To his, uh, to his dispensary when the show launched.

• 54:30Speaker 01

  Oh, really?

• 54:30Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 54:31Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, I gotta go.

• 54:32Speaker 05

  One of my favorite memories of that night was apparently Woody really loves magic. And so he had magician bartenders.

• 54:40Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 54:40Speaker 05

  So you'd order a drink and they'd be like, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, and then it would like appear or whatever. And it was really cool, except as the night goes on and an open bar, you kind of just want your drink. And so you're like, cool, that's great. And you flip in the bottle around like, whoo, and then fire and oh, my God. And you're like, cool, that's, oh, man, okay. Oh, great. Oh, that's so cool. Oh, man. Okay, cool. Thank you for the drink.

• 55:02Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 55:02Speaker 05

  So we ended up ordering like several at once, just so you could kind of.

• 55:06Speaker 02

  So he's not doing those Now You See Me movies for a paycheck. It's out of love.

• 55:09Speaker 05

  I honestly, I feel like it's a passion. It was, it was one of the coolest nights and that dispensary is, it's got a whole big garden in the back. It's beautiful.

• 55:19Speaker 04

  We should do a, we should do a field trip there with Conan.

• 55:21Speaker 02

  We should.

• 55:22Speaker 05

  We should move our studio to that dispensary and just start recording there.

• 55:25Speaker 01

  I'd love to.

• 55:27Speaker 02

  All right. Well, we're going to close this out with the Larry David clip that, man, this whole interview is one of the funniest we've had.

• 55:34Speaker 01

  Yeah. And this moment is a very Curb Your Enthusiasm Larry David moment, like.

• 55:39Speaker 02

  Very much.

• 55:40Speaker 01

  Cause you're, you're just like, this would be a plot point in Curb.

• 55:49Conan O'Brien?

  You know, uh, people ask me all the time, uh, they say to me, Conan, you know, everyone in the business. And I say, thank you. And then they say, uh, Larry David, is he exactly like he is on Curb Your Enthusiasm? And I say, yes, he is. You are exactly like that guy. You would claim that you're not quite that guy, but the times I've hung out with you at parties, I feel there might as well be a camera recording this for HBO.

• 56:15Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 56:15Conan O'Brien?

  You are the same guy.

• 56:16Speaker 02

  You know, I take that as a.

• 56:17Speaker 06

  Tremendous compliment.

• 56:19Conan O'Brien?

  Yes.

• 56:19Speaker 06

  Because, because I gotta tell you something. I love that guy.

• 56:26Speaker 06

  That guy. Oh my God, I am so in love with that guy. Yeah, really. He's, he's, he's my hero.

• 56:38Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, he should be.

• 56:39Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 56:40Conan O'Brien?

  It must be nice though, because you've carved that out for yourself. And then if people encounter you in real life, you don't have to in any way contort yourself to please them.

• 56:51Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 56:51Conan O'Brien?

  You can tell them, I don't feel like taking a selfie. It's not really what I want to do right now. And they, they're, they love, they must love it.

• 56:58Speaker 06

  And they laugh, and they laugh. Except a, a couple of weeks ago, I got invited to a dinner party. And, you know, ten, five, 10 years ago, I would have gone, okay, yeah, okay, it sounds good. What's the address? And now, this time, I said, who's coming?

• 57:20Conan O'Brien?

  Oh.

• 57:21Speaker 06

  Yeah. Uh, it did not go over well.

• 57:27Conan O'Brien?

  The, the person was offended?

• 57:28Speaker 06

  The person seemed to have been a little offended.

• 57:33Speaker 06

  And I, I wound up not going, yeah. So there you go. So there you go. So I, I did, I tried to be Larry and it didn't work. But, but by the way, as long as I'm on the subject, is it such a terrible question to ask who's going to? Why, why is it such a secret? Why is that a secret? I don't understand the, I don't understand the big secret. You can't say who's, who's going? Why? I don't get it.

• 58:05Conan O'Brien?

  Yes. I think that's, I think you're within, I think you are within your rights to ask who's coming.

• 58:10Speaker 06

  Thank you, thank you.

• 58:11Conan O'Brien?

  Because you want to find out, also, I'm imagining you have enemies.

• 58:18Conan O'Brien?

  And, you know, you want to make sure you're not walking into a party.

• 58:21Speaker 05

  I just made four more as I walked into the building.

• 58:25Conan O'Brien?

  But you know, you want to make sure, you want to know.

• 58:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, I want to know.

• 58:29Conan O'Brien?

  It's like a mobster who's going to a restaurant wants to know how many ways are there in? You know, if there's, if I'm attacked, is there a way out? You've got to know.

• 58:37Speaker 05

  Exactly, because a lot of times, honestly, you'll be invited to these dinner parties and you find yourself sitting next to some insurance salesman. And, you know, you're there the whole, for two and a half hours, sitting next to him or her, whatever.

• 58:52Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 58:52Speaker 05

  It's not comfortable.

• 58:53Conan O'Brien?

  Let me ask you a question, and you, I want you to be honest.

• 58:56Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:56Conan O'Brien?

  You came to my house not long ago. You didn't know who was going to be there. Were you pleased, were you not pleased? And you can tell me.

• 59:03Speaker 05

  Well.

• 59:05Conan O'Brien?

  Were there enough celebrities to make you comfortable? Were there two, were there, you know, did you feel that it was a good environment, a good ecosystem for you?

• 59:13Speaker 05

  I need like three comedians and I'm, I'm fine.

• 59:17Conan O'Brien?

  Right, right. Do I count as a comedian?

• 59:20Speaker 01

  Oh, Conan.

• 59:22Speaker 05

  Conan.

• 59:24Speaker 05

  Poor Conan.

• 59:25Speaker 06

  Oh, Conan, you poor.

• 59:27Speaker 05

  That's just sad. You're so sad. Don't do this to him.

• 59:31Speaker 01

  Come on.

• 59:33Speaker 05

  Yes, Conan.

• 59:34Conan O'Brien?

  Thank you.

• 59:36Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I wasn't sure, you know, you seemed happy, you seemed, you seemed pleased.

• 59:40Speaker 05

  You know, comedians, comedians, comedy writers, you know, either one, whatever.

• 59:44Conan O'Brien?

  But at one point, I noticed that you had retreated to a separate area and you were just observing. You were eating your food and you were just observing other people.

• 59:52Speaker 05

  Well.

• 59:52Conan O'Brien?

  As if you were, you know, looking at birds.

• 59:58Conan O'Brien?

  And you were doing little sketches. And I wondered if that's normal behavior for you.

• 1:00:02Speaker 05

  Well, I'll tell you what. I don't like sitting with a plate on my lap.

• 1:00:07Conan O'Brien?

  Right.

• 1:00:07Speaker 05

  Okay?

• 1:00:07Conan O'Brien?

  Right.

• 1:00:08Speaker 05

  And I saw.

• 1:00:08Conan O'Brien?

  There was a counter, there were stools in front of the counter. And I thought this, this would be a good spot to plant myself. Mm hmm. Yeah. And so I planted and uh, it turned out to be a, a, a great spot because when people come over. This is what I do at parties, by the way. I always sit. You can't be in the middle of a room making small talk. And then you're going, your brain is racing, you know? Oh my God. Oh my God, I'm out. I can't. I got nothing. I got, I got nothing. How, what, what? The bathroom? Do I have to go to the bathroom?

• 1:00:48Conan O'Brien?

  Do I have to get a drink or, or, I know, I'll do TV Larry. I'll do TV Larry. All right. Well, it's been nice talking to you. Yeah. And then, and then you move on. Right. I think people know now that you can't have interminable conversations. It can't go on forever. There's gotta be an out. There's gotta be an out. You know what?

• 1:01:16Speaker 03

  You're on a podcast right now.

• 1:01:18Conan O'Brien?

  How long is this gonna go?

• 1:01:20Speaker 03

  This is our special five hour salute.

• 1:01:23Conan O'Brien?

  No, but it's not.

• 1:01:24Speaker 03

  It's a special five hour salute to Larry David.

• 1:01:26Conan O'Brien?

  But I think, I think I have an idea for parties. I have an idea for parties. You have a party sheriff, okay? And he, he sits. He's in a chair above the party. He's overseeing the party. Yep, like a lifeguard. Like a lifeguard or, or he's in another room on video. Yeah. And he's got cameras on everybody. Like a pit boss. Yeah, like a pit boss. And he's, he's seeing the conversations. He's looking at him. He's seeing how it's going. He's looking at the body language. He's timing conversations and then, and then he sees that somebody's in trouble. And he goes, okay, all right, I gotta go. He goes down.

• 1:02:10Speaker 02

  He takes the person by the arm, he goes, "Excuse me, this, this is over." This is brilliant, this is brilliant.

• 1:02:18Conan O'Brien?

  I have to have this, I have to have this.

• 1:02:20Speaker 02

  I mean, this is a great idea. It's brilliant.

• 1:02:22Conan O'Brien?

  It's fantastic.

• 1:02:23Speaker 02

  Thank you, thank you.

• 1:02:24Conan O'Brien?

  I love that idea, I think we've all been there.

• 1:02:26Speaker 01

  He doesn't even pretend to take, "Hey, I need to talk to you about..."

• 1:02:29Speaker 02

  No, no, no. No, everybody's aware, everybody's aware.

• 1:02:32Conan O'Brien?

  Also, does he flash a badge?

• 1:02:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:02:35Conan O'Brien?

  Does he put up a badge and say, "This is over, this is over"?

• 1:02:38Speaker 02

  Everybody's aware there's a sheriff, there's a, you know, there's somebody overseeing, overseeing the party. By the way, I think I'd be a good one.

• 1:02:47Conan O'Brien?

  You'd be great.

• 1:02:47Speaker 02

  I'd like to volunteer, I could do that job. We need a podcast sheriff, you could do that. I, I definitely could do that job, a party sheriff, for sure.

• 1:02:58Speaker 02

  Oh, God. I have to say, I happened to be at a party with Larry David last week. Doesn't happen often, at all, maybe never, has never happened, really. And I did talk to him, and I, and I basically just went up to him and said, you know, how much fun we all had when he was here. And he was very, very kind and said, uh, that like, this was his favorite, I don't know if he said, said favorite podcast or favorite talk show he's ever done, which I believe when he says, because I don't think he would, you know, just say that to be kind. That wasn't gonna mince words. But the whole time, in the back of my mind, I was conscious of making sure I didn't talk too long.

• 1:03:33Speaker 01

  Right?

• 1:03:33Speaker 02

  And this being like, I'm just gonna say hi and then be done, because I don't want the party sheriff to get me.

• 1:03:39Speaker 02

  I mean, what happens when you go too long with the actual part, who's sheriff's the party sheriff? That's a great question. I think he would have just said, like, "Great talking to you, thank you."

• 1:03:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:03:49Speaker 02

  And then like, "Time to go." Well, the podcast sheriff has said it's time for us to wrap this up.

• 1:03:54Speaker 01

  Yep, yep, and, um, we'll be back next time with Conan, right?

• 1:03:58Speaker 02

  That's right, we'll be back with a regular episode next week. And like I said, you can go to the Team Coco YouTube channel to see all these clips in their full lengths. And this has been a fun diversion. We're sorry for the circumstances and sending love to our boss.

• 1:04:12Speaker 01

  Yes, we are sending a lot of love to all the O'Briens.

• 1:04:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:04:16Speaker 01

  And the Riordan's in on the East Coast. It's all of Conan's whole family is out there. And yeah, it's a, it's a really hard time, but also they lived very long, very beautiful lives, made a huge impact on everybody and made a huge impact in their fields and they're gonna be missed. And I mean, this is the end of the year too, really, isn't it?

• 1:04:38Speaker 02

  I know. It's the holidays and everybody take it easy out there and enjoy yourselves. And we'll start fresh next year with good attitudes.

• 1:04:47Speaker 01

  Okay. Good attitudes. Cause we usually have bad attitudes or?

• 1:04:54Speaker 02

  I don't know. Why are you questioning?

• 1:04:55Speaker 01

  I'm sorry. I was just, it was an odd thing to say, but yeah, 2025, here we come. Happy holidays, Matt.

• 1:05:03Speaker 02

  Happy holidays, Sona. You know, you're like my sister.

• 1:05:06Speaker 01

  You know what? I, you, I feel like we have a brother sister relationship now.

• 1:05:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:05:11Speaker 01

  We've been doing this for a while and you're, you're my favorite part of this podcast.

• 1:05:15Speaker 02

  Oh, same here.

• 1:05:16Speaker 01

  You know what? Just like sitting across and looking at you whenever Conan says something silly.

• 1:05:20Speaker 02

  Which is every three seconds.

• 1:05:21Speaker 01

  All the time. We're just like two kids in church, just like making each other giggle.

• 1:05:26Speaker 02

  I don't know what I would do without you. I wouldn't have made it this far without you.

• 1:05:30Speaker 01

  You would have been fine.

• 1:05:30Speaker 02

  No way. No way. You're my rock.

• 1:05:33Speaker 01

  Oh, well, that's nice. I'm quitting next week. Okay.

• 1:05:36Speaker 02

  Well, so am I then. All right. And thank you to Adam, Eduardo and Blay.

• 1:05:41Speaker 01

  I know.

• 1:05:41Speaker 02

  You guys make this, literally Adam, you make this happen.

• 1:05:44Speaker 01

  Yeah. We have a good team.

• 1:05:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, we do. Why do we need that other guy?

• 1:05:49Speaker 01

  I don't, we do. I don't wanna, I don't wanna sit in this chair again.

• 1:05:54Speaker 02

  No, it's weird.

• 1:05:55Speaker 01

  There's something about this chair that makes me uneasy. I like being over in the corner, just like not saying anything.

• 1:06:01Speaker 02

  That's right. Okay. Happy New Year, everybody.

• 1:06:04Speaker 01

  Mm hmm. New Year.

• 1:06:08Speaker 02
