• 1:24Conan O'Brien?

  Hi, my name is Andy Daly and I feel

• 1:29Conan O'Brien?

  at peace about being Conan O'Brien's friend. Well, I got news for you, you shouldn't be. Really? Because I'm gonna rock your world today. You're gonna leave here a shell. Yeah, I know, I already feel that.

• 2:01Conan O'Brien?

  Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Sona is not with us today. She's on an extended vacation. I think it's gone on quite a long time, but she's in Hawaii. She's having a great time. Of course, not me, here holding down the fort while she gallivants and probably promotes her new book, which she'll be talking about soon here on the podcast. But I am sitting here with Matt Gourley, no vacation for you.

• 2:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:24Conan O'Brien?

  You can't go on vacation.

• 2:25Speaker 03

  Why not?

• 2:25Conan O'Brien?

  Well, because you have a newborn.

• 2:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:28Conan O'Brien?

  Well, pretty newborn.

• 2:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:29Conan O'Brien?

  Six months now.

• 2:29Speaker 03

  Almost six months. Oh, by the time this comes out, six months.

• 2:32Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, yeah.

• 2:33Speaker 03

  And we will have already gone on vacation by the time this comes out.

• 2:36Conan O'Brien?

  Now, where do you go? Sona went to Hawaii, where are you gonna go?

• 2:38Speaker 03

  We're going to Carpinteria, which

• 2:41Conan O'Brien?

  Beautiful, Carpinteria, California. I spent a lot of time up there, I love it.

• 2:44Speaker 03

  I'd love it too.

• 2:44Conan O'Brien?

  Beautiful place.

• 2:45Speaker 03

  It is gorgeous, yeah.

• 2:46Conan O'Brien?

  Wonderful people, chill vibe.

• 2:47Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:48Conan O'Brien?

  David, you're never to go on

• 2:51Conan O'Brien?

  David Hopping is filling in for Sona. David, you are never to go on vacation. You know that, it's in your contract.

• 2:56Speaker 04

  I know, I don't know why I didn't read the contract.

• 2:58Speaker 03

  Where would you go?

• 2:59Conan O'Brien?

  Well, you can't read, David, that's one of the reasons.

• 3:02Speaker 04

  I knew I should learn.

• 3:03Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, it's still time. Yeah, and I've been all over the place, traveling a lot. The Mick Jagger interview, which was just such a bucket list thing for me, came out a couple of weeks ago, and I was so happy about that. And I went to London for that, because when one has a chance to interview Mick Jagger, you, you, you know, you go to the mountain.

• 3:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:23Conan O'Brien?

  You go to Mick Jagger. And so I went there and I was really envying one thing about London.

• 3:29Speaker 03

  What's that?

• 3:30Conan O'Brien?

  I was walking around and I was noticing that people dress like adults. And, you know, people are wearing jackets and it was starting to heat up a little bit. It wasn't too hot yet, but I've been to London in other times of the year where it's chilly, it's crisp air, people wearing pea coats. People are dressed like, you know, James Bond in a James Bond movie. The guys dress up, the women look great. People are wearing clothing.

• 3:59Speaker 03

  We align on this, I'm with you.

• 4:00Conan O'Brien?

  And then I come back to LA and I'm gonna say it right now. I'm looking around the room, looking at you first of all. You look like your mom just dressed you for summer camp. I'm wearing a t-shirt.

• 4:11Speaker 03

  You have a Han Solo jacket on.

• 4:13Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, yeah, at least I have that. No, I'm trying to put on some kind of clothes because I don't want to just walk around. I mean, here you could bump into, I don't care what station of life they're in, everybody is just wearing jeans and a t-shirt and big puffy sneakers. And then you ask them, you know, what are

• 4:36Speaker 03

  Did you wear your big puffy sneakers today?

• 4:38Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I don't want to bring them up here, they're too big, first of all. Okay, but sneakers in general, and I just think, I don't want to spend my days like this. And so I'm starting to think that maybe I should just start wearing suits around.

• 4:50Speaker 03

  It's this heat though.

• 4:51Conan O'Brien?

  It just looks ridiculous.

• 4:52Speaker 03

  It's too hot.

• 4:53Conan O'Brien?

  It's not just the heat, it's something else.

• 4:55Speaker 03

  No, I'm saying, but that, even if you wanted to.

• 4:57Conan O'Brien?

  Forget the heat, forget the heat for a second, because yes, it's gonna be hot for a couple of months in the summer, but most of the year, it's, you know, 72 degrees here. You can wear a light suit, can't you? Why aren't we doing that? Why aren't we dressing like adults?

• 5:13Speaker 03

  Whoa, take it easy.

• 5:15Conan O'Brien?

  Why are we perpetual children? I feel like I act like a child because I'm dressed like a child. Wait a minute, in New York, I acted like a child as well. Okay, scratch that. But I do want to start wearing a pea coat and I want to walk around and I want to meet people for a gin cocktail. You know, at like 5 o'clock in the afternoon, right?

• 5:36Speaker 03

  That's all I want to do.

• 5:37Conan O'Brien?

  Well, you're an Anglophile, you like all this stuff.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, I know.

• 5:41Conan O'Brien?

  But don't you, I mean, I know you're a Bond fanatic, wouldn't you like to dress a little better than you do?

• 5:46Speaker 03

  Hundred percent. I want to wear a sweater any day of the week, but you can't here. You just can't. I get really irritable when I'm hot and I can't do it, you know?

• 5:54Conan O'Brien?

  So we're seeing you and you're not irritable?

• 5:56Speaker 03

  Hey, fuck you, man.

• 5:57Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, all right, well, I'm glad I get Mr. Sunshine here.

• 6:00Speaker 05

  I think if I could offer a different opinion about why people dress like they do in LA, I think a lot of people in LA are very concerned about their appearance and they work out a lot. So I think they want to show off their hot bodies.

• 6:14Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, really?

• 6:15Speaker 05

  Yes, I think that people are wearing a lot of tank tops, they're wearing a lot of shorts because they want to show off their glutes and their calves and their biceps.

• 6:22Conan O'Brien?

  I'm not sure that's it. I will tell you this, when we, I did the show for many years in New York, Rockefeller Center with Jeff Ross, he wore a suit every day. And then we came out here and he was still the producer of our show and the next thing I know, you know, he's wearing Garanimals, you know?

• 6:35Speaker 03

  Oh, Garanimals.

• 6:37Conan O'Brien?

  Do you know what I mean? He's, you know, and, and he's, he's got those sneakers that don't have laces that are cool.

• 6:43Speaker 03

  You were gonna bring those up.

• 6:43Conan O'Brien?

  Well, it just drove me crazy, you know what I mean? This guy fought in the Korean War and he's and, and I'm just wondering what the fuck happened? He, the minute we got here, he was here like 10 minutes and all adult clothing went away. And he was writing home letters to his parents, saying, "We went on a canoe trip today." And I'm like, "What happened to us?"

• 7:03Speaker 03

  If you had it your way, would you be in a bowler hat and have an umbrella?

• 7:07Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, no, no, not a bowler hat, not an umbrella.

• 7:10Speaker 03

  You'd just need like a pea coat and maybe some boots.

• 7:12Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, or just, I mean, you can get a lighter suit. I just don't know what's wrong with me. I am, you know, of an age.

• 7:18Speaker 03

  I agree, I agree.

• 7:19Conan O'Brien?

  And I, I think that sometimes the clothes inform your attitude. And maybe, you know, I'm a guy with grown children and I'm still walking around, you know, dressed like I work at a bowling alley. What are we, what are we doing?

• 7:36Speaker 03

  Well, you know, change starts with you, you know?

• 7:39Conan O'Brien?

  That's what they told me, that class I took.

• 7:41Speaker 03

  Should we do like a Team Coco like shopping trip where we all buy?

• 7:45Conan O'Brien?

  And then charge into the show and Jeff will get really crazy.

• 7:47Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 7:47Conan O'Brien?

  I think we should just remake Jeff Ross. That's, we should start with that. This isn't about me, I'm realizing now this is about Jeff Ross.

• 7:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, like an extreme makeover situation?

• 7:56Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, I just think it's time that we started, you know, what happened to that? Why did we, you know, and, and Blay, I'm sorry, but, you know, you say it's all about our bodies, but you don't have to wear a who farted t-shirt.

• 8:07Speaker 05

  Yeah, listen, first of all, to defend myself here.

• 8:11Conan O'Brien?

  Defend yourself, no one's attacking you.

• 8:12Speaker 05

  Go to youtube.com/TeamCoco and look at every rehearsal video you were in, which is you wore the same Guinness t-shirt for like 25 years.

• 8:21Conan O'Brien?

  I know, I know, and you know what? That was just because I think Guinness is an amazing product. And if they want to send me some free Guinness, that's their business.

• 8:27Speaker 05

  I think farts are amazing products.

• 8:28Conan O'Brien?

  But whatever, that's not the reason I'm saying anything about Guinness.

• 8:31Speaker 05

  Farts are an amazing product. But can I just point out the fact? If you look at like all the billionaires, like look at Bezos, this guy's just wearing a t-shirt and like none of the, none of the richest people in the world are dressed up. They're just wearing t-shirts.

• 8:43Conan O'Brien?

  That's my point.

• 8:44Speaker 03

  Their tech bros are killing it.

• 8:45Speaker 05

  The tech bros are, so maybe everyone is dressing like they want to be a tech bro.

• 8:49Conan O'Brien?

  This makes me, and I think the tech bros, I have no problem with them having most of the world's money and spending it eating bald eagles. That's their matter, that's their concern, and you gotta let the free market do its thing, okay? But when they walk around and they're wearing these Gap t-shirts and cargo shorts, I think they're letting the side down.

• 9:10Speaker 03

  The West has been casual Friday'd.

• 9:12Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, the entire Western civilization has been casual Friday'd. And I think we need to pull it back.

• 9:18Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 9:18Conan O'Brien?

  And maybe this starts to lead to better behavior. Uh, maybe there'll be more consideration for others, maybe people will start to have better manners. I mean, this might inform, and I'm not talking about, you know, you don't have to be, spend a lot of money to change the style of dress a little bit, you know? I mean, maybe people accuse me of being in a bubble, but I, I don't think a Prada suit could cost that much and everyone should have one.

• 9:45Conan O'Brien?

  Just kidding, that was a fun joke for me. I enjoyed it. You see, I said I'm not in a bubble and then what I did is reveal that I am in a bubble. But no, yes, Blay.

• 9:54Speaker 03

  I completely agree. I think, you know what? I think if you, I think if you look good, you feel good.

• 10:00Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, that's crazy, I don't believe that at all, because many people

• 10:03Speaker 03

  But this does have to start with you, if you want to see, you gotta be the change, you want to see it.

• 10:07Conan O'Brien?

  You have to be, and I'm glad you brought this up, because I was talking to Oprah the other day.

• 10:13Conan O'Brien?

  And she said, Conan, you need to be the change you wanna see. And I said, okay, maybe I'll use that on the pod.

• 10:18Speaker 03

  So on a day like today where it's 90 degrees, you would wear a puke coat?

• 10:22Conan O'Brien?

  You're focused about the weather.

• 10:24Speaker 03

  I'm just saying, you can't do it if you wanna do it.

• 10:27Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, you can. You just sweat a lot. I'm that serious about it. I wanna get a big, long tweed coat. I'll get him with this one. That Doctor Who might wear. Oh, yay.

• 10:39Speaker 03

  I'm not a Doctor Who guy.

• 10:40Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, wow. Discerning. What a discerning consumer of bullshittery.

• 10:46Speaker 03

  For me.

• 10:48Conan O'Brien?

  He traveled in a phone booth. Anyway.

• 10:50Speaker 05

  It's a Tardis, dude.

• 10:52Conan O'Brien?

  What's that?

• 10:52Speaker 05

  It's a Tardis. It's not a phone booth. It's a Tardis.

• 10:55Conan O'Brien?

  Isn't that a phone booth?

• 10:56Speaker 03

  Quips to him.

• 10:57Speaker 05

  No, it's in the, it looks like a phone booth.

• 11:00Conan O'Brien?

  This is as angry as-

• 11:01Speaker 05

  It's bigger on the inside than the outside.

• 11:02Conan O'Brien?

  You're as angry as someone would be in like a drive-by shooting. But you're, because I misidentified the phone booth that the goofy science fiction doctor gets into.

• 11:11Speaker 03

  It's a Tardis. Please rap. Please rap.

• 11:14Conan O'Brien?

  I'm gonna wrap this up.

• 11:15Speaker 05

  He wears a suit, by the way. Doctor Who wears a suit.

• 11:18Speaker 03

  Interesting, yeah.

• 11:19Conan O'Brien?

  I, what I need to do, I guess, is start dressing like I'm James Joyce. It's 1915. I live in Dublin. And it's January. And I need to start doing that near the Mexican border. Okay? And I need to do that. I just need to own that. Own that and do it. And so I need to do it. And I will do it.

• 11:38Speaker 03

  Well, I look forward to that. Next time I record, you'd be coming in sweating.

• 11:41Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, okay, I will. All right, let's get into this. My guest today is an actor and comedian who hosts the Andy Daly Podcast Project, which is available exclusively on his Patreon. Uh, I'm gonna need to make something clear. I think pound for pound, you can't be funnier than Andy Daly. I just adore the man, and he's been involved in so many of my projects over the years. And he's been in so many great iconic television series, and he makes me really happy. Thrilled he's here.

• 12:12Conan O'Brien?

  Andy Daly, welcome.

• 12:18Conan O'Brien?

  I'm gonna start very quickly by telling you that-

• 12:21Speaker 04

  Here it comes.

• 12:22Conan O'Brien?

  First of all, I was shocked. When the Daily Show first came on, he sued the Daily Show. He said that they had stolen his name.

• 12:28Speaker 04

  Well, they did. And they put an eye in it to make it sound like it's a show that's happening every day.

• 12:34Conan O'Brien?

  It was a show that happened every day and still is. I thought that was one of the most craven things you've ever done, and he won.

• 12:40Speaker 04

  Because I said they don't really-

• 12:40Conan O'Brien?

  He won. He got $6 million. And he's been pretty much living off of it.

• 12:44Speaker 03

  He's also sued like One Day Daily Supplement.

• 12:47Conan O'Brien?

  Yes.

• 12:47Speaker 03

  Brands and stuff like that.

• 12:49Conan O'Brien?

  Most supplement brands can't, aren't safe anymore because so much money has to be, that would normally go into research and development, go to Andy Daly. It's terrible what you've done.

• 12:59Speaker 04

  It's not terrible because people, I don't want people to think that I'm responsible for those vitamins. I have nothing to do with them.

• 13:04Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, but it's spelled differently.

• 13:06Speaker 04

  And if I wanna come out with my line of, my whole line of vitamins, which I very well might.

• 13:12Speaker 03

  Daily, daily.

• 13:12Speaker 04

  You're gonna say daily on there.

• 13:14Conan O'Brien?

  Take your daily, daily.

• 13:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, I can't have it confused with everything else on the market.

• 13:18Conan O'Brien?

  That's fair.

• 13:19Speaker 04

  It makes perfect sense.

• 13:20Conan O'Brien?

  I'm gonna make it clear right now. Uh, Andy Daly is one of my favorite people. You're, I'm gonna say-

• 13:25Speaker 04

  Nope.

• 13:26Conan O'Brien?

  I'm gonna say just a little more. Just a little more.

• 13:27Speaker 04

  No.

• 13:28Conan O'Brien?

  Very funny.

• 13:29Speaker 04

  No, stop it.

• 13:29Conan O'Brien?

  We used you, used you like a pack mule on my different late night shows over the years to do really funny things.

• 13:36Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 13:37Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, just, you're just enjoying-

• 13:39Speaker 04

  That's not a compliment.

• 13:39Conan O'Brien?

  Also, listen, no, but like a pack mule, were you funny? No. But you can carry very heavy loads in very dry temperatures for a long time, at very narrow canyon inclines.

• 13:51Speaker 04

  I was concerned coming in here that you were gonna pay me too many compliments.

• 13:54Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, no. No, that's it.

• 13:55Speaker 04

  Oh, okay, right.

• 13:56Conan O'Brien?

  But, uh, you know, every time you're on something, whether it's Silicon Valley, Veep, Modern Family, Blackish, you, you show up in so many great comedies, you're always excellent. Now that's it for the nice stuff. Now we get into the real stuff.

• 14:07Speaker 04

  You know what happened the last time I was here? You paid me so many compliments, and I was just basking in them, like really enjoying them. It was a great moment for me. And then at the end of it, you said, and is there anything you'd like to say back to me?

• 14:18Conan O'Brien?

  It was like, and you had nothing.

• 14:20Speaker 04

  I had, I really had a work.

• 14:22Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. No, no, but you, I remember, I went back and listened to that. Nothing. Cause I've asked many guests. I mean, I just, I just interviewed Mick Jagger for an hour.

• 14:31Speaker 04

  I know.

• 14:31Conan O'Brien?

  And I listened back to it. Forty minutes of the interview with Mick Jagger is me demanding to know what he thinks about me.

• 14:37Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 14:38Conan O'Brien?

  And it wasn't good.

• 14:39Speaker 04

  Do you know, I listened to his interview with the New York Times, and I think he kind of subtweeted you because somehow they got onto the topic of comedians.

• 14:47Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 14:47Speaker 04

  And he said, you know, there's some comedians who are just always on. They can't stop. He said, he didn't mention you by name, Conan.

• 14:54Conan O'Brien?

  And you sure you were talking to Mick Jagger, or was that an old British seaman in 1780?

• 15:00Speaker 03

  He's proving, he's proving Jagger's point.

• 15:02Speaker 04

  Do I need to work on my Jagger impression? That's literally the first time we've ever tried to impersonate Mick Jagger.

• 15:06Conan O'Brien?

  No, I thought I was in the room with him again.

• 15:08Speaker 04

  You thought you were in the room.

• 15:09Conan O'Brien?

  I really did.

• 15:10Speaker 04

  Very good.

• 15:10Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, I'll tell you something. It's the posh, posh, traveling life, the traveling life for me. Uh, pardon me?

• 15:17Speaker 03

  No, I'm just sort of taken aback by, by your, uh, anyone but Jagger impression just now.

• 15:23Conan O'Brien?

  That was my Jagger.

• 15:24Speaker 03

  Oh, it was?

• 15:24Conan O'Brien?

  And I just talked to him for an hour. Humble brag. That's not a humble brag. That's just a brag. Shut up, Conan, talking to himself.

• 15:31Speaker 04

  Well, it could have been more than an hour.

• 15:32Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, shazba. Mork's back.

• 15:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 15:35Conan O'Brien?

  Let me tell you something.

• 15:36Speaker 04

  All right.

• 15:37Conan O'Brien?

  You're funny, you're fast, you're a chameleon, but who are you really?

• 15:40Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 15:40Conan O'Brien?

  I've known you many years, and you know what? There's no one in there.

• 15:43Speaker 03

  That is a good question, because we're friends.

• 15:46Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 15:46Speaker 03

  And I don't know if I know you.

• 15:47Conan O'Brien?

  Well, exactly. You're friends with Gourley?

• 15:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, Gourley and I are buddies.

• 15:50Conan O'Brien?

  Aim higher.

• 15:53Conan O'Brien?

  Zing, kazing.

• 15:56Speaker 03

  I'll cosign on that. You can do better.

• 15:58Conan O'Brien?

  You know, Ilya Kazan was a great director, but, uh, that was Ilya Kazing is what I gave him right there. And I think that was worth going back for.

• 16:10Speaker 03

  I love a joke that you first have to give a preamble lecture, lecture on who and what the subject did.

• 16:16Conan O'Brien?

  Of course, maybe people, many people don't like him because, uh, he ratted out some other artists during the blacklisting. I, but anyway.

• 16:24Speaker 04

  I saw you self-edit, like, that's gonna hurt the ultimate punchline if I take a digression into the blacklist here.

• 16:29Conan O'Brien?

  Let me tell you something. Again, back to this theme, Andy Daly is the comedy pack mule. Uh, you're so good at, again, carrying dry goods, uh, beef jerky through desert climes, but also you're a shapeshifter. You're always funny. You're an always funny fellow.

• 16:44Speaker 04

  I did once, I was once offered a role in something that wasn't much on the page, and my agent told me like, but this, this is what you're good at. When there's like not much on the page, you, you can really bring something. And I thought, that's a bad reputation to have. Like, offer me parts that are poorly written or underwritten, or just no good at all.

• 17:01Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 17:01Speaker 04

  And this guy can do something with it.

• 17:03Speaker 03

  So you'll only end up in bad productions?

• 17:05Speaker 04

  Only in bad things.

• 17:06Conan O'Brien?

  A lot of times, they just send you blank pages. And then sometimes if it's a commercial, they just ask you to make up the product, and then they'll go make it. I don't know. We don't know what to make yet. Send it to Daly.

• 17:20Speaker 04

  He'll come up with something.

• 17:21Conan O'Brien?

  With quizzle gum, you get a spazle of a quizzle-dizzle-bezle-bazzle. Okay, let's make it. Sounds fantastic. Andy, can I call you Andy?

• 17:30Speaker 04

  Uh, yeah.

• 17:30Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, Andrew, you-

• 17:32Speaker 04

  I like that better.

• 17:33Conan O'Brien?

  You, uh, you and I have known each other for how many years? Would you say it's been 30 years that we've been working together?

• 17:38Speaker 04

  It feels like 50, but I would say probably 1996 is when we first got to know each other.

• 17:46Conan O'Brien?

  And, um, we have some things in common. Okay? I know you're an animal lover. Do you have a dog?

• 17:53Speaker 04

  I have two dogs.

• 17:53Conan O'Brien?

  You have two dogs? I have two dogs.

• 17:55Speaker 04

  Really?

• 17:55Conan O'Brien?

  See, we're gonna have a good podcast interview.

• 17:57Speaker 04

  This is great.

• 17:58Conan O'Brien?

  I think we got it. We got it?

• 17:59Speaker 04

  Are we done?

• 18:00Conan O'Brien?

  Let's wrap. Well, this has been Andy Daly.

• 18:02Speaker 04

  Wait, speaking of things we have in common.

• 18:04Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 18:04Speaker 04

  I was recently misrecognized as you at Trader Joe.

• 18:08Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, my God, really?

• 18:10Speaker 04

  Yes, a gentleman walked toward me, looking like he knew who I was, like we were friends or something.

• 18:15Conan O'Brien?

  And you were like, here we go. You got out your autograph pen.

• 18:19Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 18:19Conan O'Brien?

  Cause no one wants an autograph anymore.

• 18:22Speaker 04

  But then, as we got closer, he disengaged and smiled and said, I thought you were Conan O'Brien.

• 18:28Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, interesting. Wow.

• 18:30Speaker 04

  And I thought, I did nothing to earn that insult.

• 18:34Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, hey, that's terrible. I welcomed you into the bosom of my bosom, and you-

• 18:40Speaker 03

  You called him a pack mule.

• 18:41Conan O'Brien?

  No, that's a, that's, again, that's a compliment.

• 18:44Speaker 03

  When you're done with a pack mule, you shoot it and leave it for dead in the desert.

• 18:47Conan O'Brien?

  Trust me, when this interview's over, I'm putting one right between his eyes, and then we're moving on. Um.

• 18:52Speaker 04

  No, no, but I did explain to him. I did say, he's, he's really, the first thing you notice about Conan is how tall he is. Just FYI. If you're out there in the world looking for Conan, rule out anybody of like a normal human height.

• 19:03Conan O'Brien?

  People who know that often think I'm Jane Lynch. That happens a lot, too. I mean, I get, uh, I, I occasionally get misidentified, but not often. Mostly people just know it's me, or they know, I know he's famous for something, and I love it when people say, are you one of those movie stars? And I say, oh, no. No, I am not a movie star. Not at all. You couldn't be more wrong.

• 19:27Speaker 04

  Would you say if somebody says, hey, are you famous? You could say back, if you have to ask, the answer is no.

• 19:34Conan O'Brien?

  Right, but then they might get offended. Um, they might think I'm being snarky.

• 19:38Speaker 04

  That's why I say nothing. I turn around and walk in the other direction.

• 19:41Conan O'Brien?

  Well, that's really rude.

• 19:42Speaker 04

  Oh, well, then I don't know what to do.

• 19:48Conan O'Brien?

  This just puzzles me. Well, I gotta keep this going now. Listen, you, um-

• 19:54Speaker 03

  What's happening?

• 19:54Conan O'Brien?

  Are you okay?

• 19:55Speaker 03

  Are you all right?

• 19:56Conan O'Brien?

  I just suddenly realized that I have nothing to live for.

• 19:58Speaker 03

  Oh, my God.

• 19:59Conan O'Brien?

  But wait, it's coming, that sometimes just comes on me and I just have to wait it out. Hold on a second.

• 20:02Speaker 03

  How long does it usually take?

• 20:03Conan O'Brien?

  This could be hours.

• 20:04Speaker 03

  Oh, dear.

• 20:05Conan O'Brien?

  No, it's gone. I think I'm good now.

• 20:07Speaker 03

  Phew.

• 20:08Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, how did you feel during that? Were you worried for me at all or you just thought, I can go?

• 20:14Conan O'Brien?

  For a second, did you think I'm gonna stop and talk to Conan and help out?

• 20:17Speaker 04

  Uh, no, not at all. No, I just, I was just completely thinking about myself.

• 20:21Conan O'Brien?

  You have two dogs? I have two dogs.

• 20:23Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 20:24Conan O'Brien?

  I heard that you got a dog when you quit drinking. Is that true?

• 20:27Speaker 04

  Oh, uh, yeah, that's about right.

• 20:29Conan O'Brien?

  Well, let's share, what was the thinking there?

• 20:31Speaker 04

  Um.

• 20:33Conan O'Brien?

  Cause I got a dog to have someone to drink with.

• 20:39Conan O'Brien?

  I've had seven golden retrievers die of cirrhosis of the liver. Yeah. But what is that?

• 20:46Speaker 04

  It's very common in the breed, don't blame yourself.

• 20:51Conan O'Brien?

  What, uh, so what was the thinking there?

• 20:53Speaker 04

  It was more that I kind of realized, I guess I, I was, uh, sort of had more time on my hands and was a little bit bored, but also I felt like, I'm not gonna screw it up. Like, I can take on some extra responsibilities.

• 21:05Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 21:05Speaker 04

  Now that I'm sort of not, uh, uh.

• 21:08Conan O'Brien?

  Imbibing?

• 21:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, and sort of, you know, having a, being a blackout drunk three days a week or so.

• 21:13Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, okay, I did not know that. I did not know that. Okay. How long ago did you make this switch? Did you get sober?

• 21:19Speaker 03

  Twenty-four years ago.

• 21:20Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, good for you.

• 21:22Speaker 03

  That's impressive.

• 21:23Speaker 06

  It corresponds with when he met you.

• 21:26Conan O'Brien?

  It lines up exactly, actually. Wow.

• 21:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 21:30Conan O'Brien?

  Um, well, that's an incredible achievement.

• 21:33Speaker 04

  Oh, thank you. Yeah, whatever, I'm fine. I, I eat a lot of chocolate.

• 21:38Conan O'Brien?

  That's okay.

• 21:39Speaker 04

  I just replace the one with the other.

• 21:40Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 21:40Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, uh, thank you, yes. Uh, it was like.

• 21:43Conan O'Brien?

  But did the dog help you get sober? Or does it, was more of those things where, um, because I find that my animals, we have two dogs and three cats, and there's just animals everywhere, and I love it. I just love, cause I, as you know, I'm very tactile, so I just like to grab a golden retriever and wrestle with him on the floor.

• 22:06Speaker 04

  Me too. I really, you might not guess that about me, but when I, I wrestle with the dogs all the, and I bite my dogs. I bite them all the time. I'm constantly biting my dogs.

• 22:14Conan O'Brien?

  Your dogs have put out a complaint about you. It'd be great if you took your dogs and they say, this dog has human rabies.

• 22:23Conan O'Brien?

  Remember that time you bit a bat and the bat got rabies?

• 22:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 22:28Speaker 04

  Every time he brings it up.

• 22:31Speaker 03

  What part of their body do you bite?

• 22:32Conan O'Brien?

  Like their faces?

• 22:33Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 22:34Conan O'Brien?

  I'm just constantly, ah! I, um.

• 22:37Speaker 04

  They love it. They can't get enough of being bitten.

• 22:40Conan O'Brien?

  I do a crazy thing, for years, I would see my golden and I would wrestle him on the ground, and sometimes I would yell at the dog, "You shot my president!" And wrestle him, and wrestle him to the ground like he was an assailant. And people would hear me do that and go, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" And I just thought it was so, and another thing I would do is, it's really funny to, I would point at my dog and go, "Embezzler!", and they make this guilty face.

• 23:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, they do.

• 23:03Conan O'Brien?

  Like, "I know you've been stealing funds!", and just the idea of a golden being caught embezzling, and it could take some finesse for a golden, you know, to, to get into your books and manipulate money.

• 23:14Speaker 04

  But they could do it.

• 23:15Conan O'Brien?

  They could do it.

• 23:16Speaker 04

  I often will get one of my dogs, like, we're down on the ground and I'll just get face to face with her and I'll say, "Come away with me." The others don't understand us. They don't understand what we have.

• 23:28Conan O'Brien?

  And you have two dogs? So then, how does the other dog feel when you say to that dog, "Come away with me"? The others don't understand.

• 23:34Speaker 04

  Visibly happy to be off the, out of my sights at that moment, just like, "It'll be me next time."

• 23:40Conan O'Brien?

  I think my dogs understand how comedically needy I am, and so they're, and, and goldens are bred to absorb all of your stuff.

• 23:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 23:49Conan O'Brien?

  And I think when I leave, they just, a paw goes across their forehead like.

• 23:54Speaker 04

  They must.

• 23:55Conan O'Brien?

  Phew!

• 23:55Speaker 04

  Off duty.

• 23:55Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, my God, seventy-five bits this morning.

• 23:58Speaker 04

  One of our dogs is a golden retriever, yes.

• 24:00Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, they're great.

• 24:01Speaker 04

  They're the best.

• 24:01Conan O'Brien?

  And, uh, I don't mind the hair all over the place. You know, people get all these doodles now that are hypoallergenic. Not me.

• 24:08Speaker 04

  No.

• 24:09Conan O'Brien?

  No, I like dogs that'll make me really sick.

• 24:12Speaker 04

  I was just thinking this morning, I, I would like it if when I reach into my drawer to get a new, an article of clothing to put on for the day, if it doesn't at that point have dog hair on it.

• 24:20Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 24:20Speaker 04

  That's my only.

• 24:21Speaker 03

  It comes out of the dryer with dog hair?

• 24:23Speaker 04

  No, but just in the process of folding it and all that, it.

• 24:26Conan O'Brien?

  There's hair everywhere. If you come visit me at my house, which will never happen, you open the door and just golden hair comes pouring out onto anyone who comes to see us.

• 24:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't mind that if I wear it for two seconds, it'll be covered in hair, but if I can take it out of the drawer, not hairy.

• 24:40Conan O'Brien?

  No, this is why I primarily buy clothes that are golden. So it doesn't show up.

• 24:45Speaker 03

  It blends in.

• 24:46Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 24:47Speaker 04

  That's smart.

• 24:47Conan O'Brien?

  And our house is painted gold and all gold rugs.

• 24:50Speaker 04

  Beautiful.

• 24:50Conan O'Brien?

  It's very Trumpy, but for different reasons.

• 24:53Speaker 04

  Trump came by and he was like, "This is pretty good." Anyway, "It's for the goldens." He's like, "Okay, I got it."

• 24:59Conan O'Brien?

  He drops in all the time.

• 25:01Speaker 03

  Sounds to me like Sylvester Stallone.

• 25:03Speaker 04

  "I'm gonna fight the champ." He's, that's what Trump said to me, "I'm gonna fight the champ." "I gotta do what I gotta do." "I gotta do what I gotta do."

  Did you know that one in four Americans targeted by scams end up falling for them?

• 25:50Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:51Conan O'Brien?

  You fell for it.

• 25:51Speaker 01

  I fell for a scam?

• 25:52Conan O'Brien?

  Now, you didn't lose too much money, but you did lose.

• 25:55Speaker 01

  I did lose, and it was very inconvenient, and now they put protections on my account like I'm, uh, dumb.

• 26:01Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, I don't know where they got that impression.

• 26:05Conan O'Brien?

  Criminals are now using AI to make scams look more realistic than ever. In 2025, AI fraud spiked 1,210% and cost Americans $893 million. That's incredible. Well, with AI, it can get so smart now.

• 26:21Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 26:22Conan O'Brien?

  Do you know what I mean?

• 26:22Speaker 01

  Maybe I should start scamming.

• 26:23Conan O'Brien?

  No, that's not the point.

• 26:25Speaker 01

  That's not the point of this.

• 26:26Conan O'Brien?

• 27:09Conan O'Brien?

  This fall, I wanna try something different.

• 27:10Speaker 01

  What?

• 27:11Conan O'Brien?

  I like to change it up, I like to learn things, so I'm gonna try and make apple cider.

• 27:15Speaker 01

  Ooh!

• 27:15Conan O'Brien?

  Every morning.

• 27:16Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 27:16Conan O'Brien?

  This fall, just to see if I can do it.

• 27:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:18Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, fall's the perfect season to try something new, like joining T-Mobile.

• 27:22Speaker 01

  Oh, that's good.

• 27:23Conan O'Brien?

  See what I did?

• 27:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:24Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, there are 250 reasons to join T-Mobile right now. You wanna hear what they are?

• 27:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:28Conan O'Brien?

  They're America's best network.

• 27:30Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 27:30Conan O'Brien?

  True story. Plus, T-Mobile has got off-grid satellite coverage. That comes in really handy. I like to just wander in the woods sometimes.

• 27:37Speaker 01

  Oh, that's weird.

• 27:38Conan O'Brien?

  When I'm thinking about, like, making apple cider, and, uh, that's when it comes in handy. Here's another reason. High-speed data in over 215 countries and destinations. I travel a lot for the.

• 27:47Speaker 01

  You travel a lot.

• 27:48Conan O'Brien?

  Travel show that I do.

• 27:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:49Conan O'Brien?

  Stream this podcast while ignoring local landmarks, that's always fun to do. Like, "Oh, look, there's the Mona Lisa." Yeah, check it out, I'm in the Louvre, I should, but I'm listening to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.

• 27:59Speaker 01

  That doesn't seem like a good idea.

• 28:01Conan O'Brien?

  I think it's a great idea.

• 28:02Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 28:02Conan O'Brien?

  You know, uh, you can see art anytime. But how often can you listen to this podcast?

• 28:07Speaker 01

  My God!

• 28:08Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Now, all these reasons make T-Mobile a great choice.

• 28:12Speaker 01

  I agree.

• 28:13Conan O'Brien?

  T-Mobile is stacking up reasons to join. Go to T-Mobile.com and find yours. Best, based on analysis by Ookla of speed test intelligence data, first half of 2026. Can't believe I read that. T-Satellite with capable devices in most outdoor areas in the US where you can see the sky. High-speed international data with qualifying plan. Visit T-Mobile.com, consult a physician. I just threw that in there.

• 28:37Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 28:43Conan O'Brien?

  I'm curious, because I like the origin stories. You must have been an odd young fellow. And I can relate. You're just a perfectly normal kid.

• 28:51Speaker 04

  Perfectly normal young man.

• 28:52Conan O'Brien?

  An amazing athlete. You played, you were quarterback, right? For the Rams? For like eight years.

• 28:58Speaker 04

  You know what, actually? When I was in high school.

• 29:01Conan O'Brien?

  I want to find out how alike we were when we were, when we were little comedy freaks. Go ahead.

• 29:07Speaker 04

  Yes, okay, well, this is a story I actually told once on the TBS show. And I gave you this piece of information.

• 29:11Conan O'Brien?

  That's okay, those things have all been destroyed.

• 29:13Speaker 04

  No, I know, but I gave you this piece of information about myself. And your response was to say, what an ass. And so I'm gonna.

• 29:20Conan O'Brien?

  Well, it clearly didn't stick with you.

• 29:22Speaker 04

  It did, and I'd like to give you an opportunity to just, I'm gonna tell it to you again.

• 29:25Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 29:26Speaker 04

  And give you an opportunity to have a more supportive and empathetic reaction to it.

• 29:30Conan O'Brien?

  I think I can do it.

• 29:31Speaker 04

  Okay, all right. When I was in high school, I wrote for the student newspaper. And because I did write for the student newspaper, I wore a fedora to school with a press card in the hat band.

• 29:42Conan O'Brien?

  Sure.

• 29:43Speaker 04

  That's the information. Fuck you.

• 29:46Conan O'Brien?

  Wait a minute.

• 29:48Speaker 03

  This is what you do, you project, because if you didn't do that very same thing, you're just upset that you didn't think of it.

• 29:54Conan O'Brien?

  We established a long time ago that I attack people for my qualities. Most of my attacks on you are things that I have guilty of. And I always find that that's the greatest joke of all. I attack others for things I have done. And now it seems to become a national craze. It's a national craze, trust me. You know? Lock him up, you're a crook. Wait a minute, but I, I think it's one of my, my great joys in life is going after other people for being nerds and freaks when they were kids.

• 30:25Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 30:26Conan O'Brien?

  No, I totally, I remembered, I mean, I've talked about it, but all I wanted when I was a boy was not a baseball bat, or a glove, or a football. I wanted office supplies, because I wanted to like type things up. And fire off memos. I wanted a stamp that said void and cancel. And I started to gather these things, and I remember all I wanted to do was to have official papers to write up. I wanted a pneumatic tube also, one of those things you put, whoop, and it goes shooting off.

• 30:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, so you're firing off memos to other rooms in the house?

• 30:58Conan O'Brien?

  I am just as bad as you, and I was, bullies should get in time machines now and go back and beat the shit out of me. More than, more than I was beaten already.

• 31:09Speaker 04

  You didn't get it bad enough at the time? Yeah.

• 31:11Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, I got, I got, I got more than my share. But I still think, when I think of these things now, I think, nope, I didn't get enough beating. We need bullies to get into time machines. Instead of going back and stopping World War II from happening or other things, they should just go back and kick the shit out of me.

• 31:26Speaker 04

  Yes, it wasn't enough just to, you know, throw the hat in a tree. You have to punch me while you're at it.

• 31:32Speaker 03

  So that happened?

• 31:33Speaker 04

  I spent a lot of time chasing after that hat.

• 31:35Conan O'Brien?

  So you wore the hat and you were bullied, I'm guessing?

• 31:37Speaker 04

  Of course, but I was just looking for scoops.

• 31:41Speaker 03

  You're supposed to not, when you're reporting.

• 31:43Conan O'Brien?

  I'm looking for scoops.

• 31:44Speaker 04

  That's what I said.

• 31:46Conan O'Brien?

  I'm looking for scoops.

• 31:47Speaker 03

  When you're a reporter, you're supposed to not be the story. And you were kind of like.

• 31:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly, you're right.

• 31:52Conan O'Brien?

  So all of your articles that you wrote were reporter assailed?

• 31:57Conan O'Brien?

  Hat stolen? Like every time you picked up the Andy Daly, Daily Newspaper.

• 32:03Speaker 04

  My column was called The Daily Muse, in USA.

• 32:06Conan O'Brien?

  Oh my god, oh my god, The Muse. I think I've told this once, but once I was walking with my brother Luke, and, you know, I was kind of smart, and my brother Luke is, to this day, a thousand times smarter than me. He was just this incredible brain. And I remembered, we, we got stopped near this area in my neighborhood called The Point, where some of the tough kids hung out. And we got stopped by some kids, and they were sort of shoving us and saying, you guys are, you know, back then, everyone was queer. You know, they'd call you queer, like, hey, pushing you and saying that. And, and the insult back then was, you're mental. It was a Boston thing, but mental meant, you know, you know, you're mental just means they're all screwed up. Hey kid, what are you, mental?

• 32:49Conan O'Brien?

  And they pushed my brother Luke and said, what are you, mental? And he said, hmm, well, mental is Latin for of the mind, so I thank you.

• 33:00Conan O'Brien?

  The fists flew fast and hard. I remember just, and my heart sinking when Luke had this super sillious look on his face. Oh, Latin is, mental in Latin is of the mind, my good sir. So I thank you. And then.

• 33:17Speaker 04

  When you name an example of a pyrrhic victory, there it is.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  I read about this in your column.

• 33:23Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the one scoop you ever had. Fellow nerd beaten after quoting Latin.

• 33:30Speaker 03

  It was a pyrrhic victory.

• 33:32Conan O'Brien?

  It was a pyrrhic victory, for sure. Yours most sincerely, The Daily Muse. You goon.

• 33:41Speaker 03

  I love that.

• 33:42Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, I, I am you and you am I, as Popeye would say in an alternate universe.

• 33:47Speaker 04

  Here's, I have a question for you. Because I was thinking about, somebody was asking me like the first laugh I ever got out of a crowd. And I remember very clearly, in fact, I think it might be my first memory, that I was in nursery school, and it was a very special job to get to carry the Dixie cups full of fruit juice from the kitchen to the room where everybody was. Like, that was something, every, every day, someone got selected to do it. And it was my job to do it that day. And I legitimately dropped, I tripped and dropped this tray full of Dixie cups of juice. And everybody laughed as though I had done it on purpose. And then I played it off like I had done it on purpose, because I really enjoyed the laugh. But I wonder if, is that a common experience, do you think, for comedians to like?

• 34:28Conan O'Brien?

  Yes.

• 34:29Speaker 04

  To get a la, like, yeah, it was not an intentional joke. But I had to, it was so much, like, I got in a lot of trouble for dumping juice on the floor, but that was better.

• 34:40Conan O'Brien?

  But you got the pure heroin hit of a laugh.

• 34:43Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 34:43Conan O'Brien?

  And no one forgets their first hit.

• 34:46Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 34:46Conan O'Brien?

  You know, I mean, I'm the same way.

• 34:48Speaker 04

  Do you remember yours?

• 34:49Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, my first big laugh was 1998. The show had been on for five years. And I remembered saying to Mr. T, why not Mr. W?

• 35:00Speaker 03

  That was the big laugh?

• 35:01Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, I'm, I love that, my first big laugh. It was our fifth anniversary show. I had never had one laugh, no, I remember very clearly, I was at a little school in Brookline, Mass, called the Michael Baldwin School. We just called it the Baldwin School. And it was just K through three. I would have been, I don't know, maybe second grade. And my dad had taken me to a revival house and shown me a Charlie Chaplin film. And I think it was maybe Modern Times or something, and I just was just, oh my god, that guy's funny. It was a silent film with the music.

• 35:38Conan O'Brien?

  And I saw it, and I, my dad would, knew I was into comedy, so he took me and I was, so I took a little walking stick to school. And out in the schoolyard, I was doing a routine where I was walking with the walking stick, and it was a total accident. I crossed one leg, you know the way when you use plant a cane? Like the Planters Peanut guy? You kind of, you know, cross one leg over the other in a saucy way?

• 36:01Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm, a jaunty pose.

• 36:03Conan O'Brien?

  A jaunty pose. I was doing a little shtick with it, and a bunch of kids were around in the playground, and I was sort of doing it for them. And then I crossed one leg over the other and accidentally hit the cane with my foot, and it went whee, whee, whee, whee, whee. Went spinning and kind of planted itself in the grass. And the kids thought it was, it was an accident.

• 36:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:24Conan O'Brien?

  But I got the biggest laugh, because it looked like I'd been up all night practicing a really cool thing. And they were just like, that was awesome. And I had that whole floodgate of.

• 36:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, now I'll try to do some of these things on purpose, maybe.

• 36:39Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, and I realized that I needed to be a prop comedian.

• 36:43Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm, and to this day.

• 36:46Conan O'Brien?

  To this day. And to this day, wherever I go, I have my trustee. I, I got the Gallagher estate, and I bought all his props, so.

• 36:56Speaker 04

  He was, there was an auction of Gallagher belongings, didn't we look over the?

• 36:59Conan O'Brien?

  We did, didn't we?

• 37:01Speaker 04

  You could buy one of his hats that had hair attached to it.

• 37:03Conan O'Brien?

  That's right. I remembered, I was watching, I think I was watching Rip Taylor, the comedian Rip Taylor, used to do prop comedy. And he'd be like, ah, and he was on the Merv Griffin Show or something, and I was watching him, and he just, oh, he had a trunk full of just crap, just junk. And he pulled out what was a mannequin's, a mannequin's arm, and duct taped to it crudely, was just a tennis racket. And he just pulled it up and held it up and went, tennis elbow! And I remember being a kid, watching daytime TV, and I went, that's awful.

• 37:41Conan O'Brien?

  You can't just, no, you can't just take-

• 37:44Speaker 03

  What was his show, the like nine dollar beauty pageant? Do you remember that?

• 37:48Conan O'Brien?

  I don't remember that.

• 37:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, it was like a daily show where they would just do a beauty pageant and he was the host and he would

• 37:53Conan O'Brien?

  Oh.

• 37:54Speaker 03

  crown, just-

• 37:55Conan O'Brien?

  I don't remember anything of his other than thinking, you can't just take two nouns and duct tape them together. Because if you do, it's so nihilistic, you know, you can just get a piece of glass and I mean, I'm just trying to think of- You can just take anything that has two words to it and tape them together and then announce that's what it is? And I remember just thinking, if we go down that road, we're dead as a species. And sure enough, Rip Taylor died. Many years later.

• 38:28Speaker 04

  He probably would never have described his act as nihilistic, I don't think.

• 38:32Conan O'Brien?

  What do you do? I do nihilism, ho ho.

• 38:37Conan O'Brien?

  I think we got him to do something on our show once and uh, yeah, so Frank Smiley got him to do a bit for us and I just still had PTSD from his tennis elbow routine.

• 38:48Speaker 04

  Take him away, get him away from me.

• 38:51Conan O'Brien?

  I know that you're doing your own podcast and have for quite a long time. Is that how you guys got to know each other? Did you know each other before that?

• 38:59Speaker 03

  We knew each other from, uh, first from my podcast, Super Ego, which he guested on and then-

• 39:04Conan O'Brien?

  Which is, by the way, so many times I'm with you and fans come out of the woodwork, bypass me-

• 39:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 39:11Conan O'Brien?

  And they know Super Ego with this guy and I'm like, what the hell is going on? What am I, chopped liver?

• 39:16Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, you may be, you may be.

• 39:19Conan O'Brien?

  That's why I don't walk with Matt Gourley anymore.

• 39:21Speaker 03

  Super Ego is just an hour long podcast of we talking about how you're chopped liver.

• 39:27Speaker 04

  Laying out the case.

• 39:29Conan O'Brien?

  But no, that's, so you guys work together and I mean, do you have any insights into what makes this man tick? Because Andy Daly fascinates me, it's, I've just never not seen him be funny. And he's just, and it's kinda, it seems effortless.

• 39:42Speaker 04

  The check is gonna come due on these compliments, I know that-

• 39:45Conan O'Brien?

  Goody already has.

• 39:46Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 39:46Conan O'Brien?

  You've let us down many times already too. I'm looking for scoops, looking for scoops.

• 39:52Speaker 03

  He's, he's my friend, so I don't even have to say this, we're already friends, but I find him to be-

• 39:57Conan O'Brien?

  Don't say the funniest, don't say the funniest, don't say it, you're hanging by a thread.

• 40:01Speaker 03

  Let me finish.

• 40:04Speaker 03

  Along with David Hopping.

• 40:06Conan O'Brien?

  Oh!

• 40:08Speaker 03

  One of the funniest people, now along with yourself, truly one of the funniest people I have ever known.

• 40:14Conan O'Brien?

  If you put me in the same category with this guy, I'm very happy. And that's the last compliment today, now I go after you again.

• 40:20Speaker 04

  I think you're really pale, huh?

• 40:22Speaker 03

  You know what else he is?

• 40:23Conan O'Brien?

  What?

• 40:23Speaker 03

  Generous.

• 40:24Speaker 04

  Boo.

• 40:25Speaker 03

  He's so funny, I know.

• 40:26Conan O'Brien?

  Don't, don't, don't, what do you mean he's generous?

• 40:29Speaker 03

  He's just a generous comic partner, he always gives you room and-

• 40:33Conan O'Brien?

  Shut up.

• 40:36Speaker 03

  This is why I have such a hard time coming on this podcast.

• 40:41Speaker 03

  And that's why I'm making this point. He knows how to do it, he understands the rhythm.

• 40:49Conan O'Brien?

  If you get one laugh, I will die.

• 40:53Conan O'Brien?

  That's always been my comedy philosophy, if I'm on stage with anyone and they get the slightest laugh, I will immediately die.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  Of course. But imagine the nose, the emotional nose bleed I felt coming from Andy, to working with Andy Daly to you.

• 41:07Conan O'Brien?

  I've been doing this with Andy Richter once, but I said, I've come up with a good comedy character, let's do it. And I'm, my guy just says, shut up. So instead of yes-anding, and he'd say like, oh, well, this is a nice cookie shop we got, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, fuck you, shut up, hand scene.

• 41:23Speaker 04

  It would work. In an improv scene, it would work, these days-

• 41:27Conan O'Brien?

  It's nihilistic.

• 41:32Conan O'Brien?

  We've talked about this before, but your comedy rants, your, your monologues where you tell stories as characters. I've, I've listened to those and I don't wanna repeat things too much from the last podcast, but I, you, uh, you inhabiting the body of a guy who's like a leprechaun and, and, and these stories go on for about 25 minutes and there's always so much intelligence behind them. There's the up with people kind of guy who's, you clearly quickly realize that his whole family's been like murdered and sexually assaulted and he has to show up now and he's late because everyone was being, he just got away with his life as all his family is gone and he has to be an up with people guy.

• 42:11Speaker 03

  There's a character he does called Don DeMillo, that when, when we're doing something together and he goes into Don DeMillo, Andy goes away. And the posture comes in and his eyes go out and his voice comes in.

• 42:23Conan O'Brien?

  I hear a little Don DeLillo.

• 42:24Speaker 06

  Theatrical director, Don DeMillo.

• 42:28Speaker 06

  Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, wonderful to be here. I, I direct the Rockettes in the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular.

• 42:39Speaker 06

  That's just for daddy.

• 42:44Conan O'Brien?

  Is that your big claim to fame, the Rockettes?

• 42:45Speaker 04

  That's his whole thing.

• 42:46Conan O'Brien?

  Wow.

• 42:46Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, he doesn't mess around with the, uh, you know, the pageant, the, the live nativity scene and the baby.

• 42:54Speaker 04

  I focus on the Rockettes. The beautiful girls with the legs, all exactly the same height.

• 43:04Speaker 04

  Cause that's weird. It's a little strange that there's this holdover from the Ziegfeld Follies in the middle of the children's Christmas show.

• 43:11Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, yes, yes.

• 43:11Speaker 04

  It's odd.

• 43:12Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, I took, we took our daughter when she was little to that show and it is really funny, it's like, you know, ho, ho, ho, ho. And there's Santa and there's elves and everyone's having a good time and then-

• 43:22Speaker 06

  Bring out the girls.

• 43:26Speaker 06

  Bring out the girls.

• 43:28Conan O'Brien?

  Kick, girls, kick.

• 43:29Speaker 06

  Kick, kick.

• 43:31Conan O'Brien?

  Higher, higher.

• 43:34Conan O'Brien?

  You gotta give these kids their money's worth.

• 43:36Speaker 06

  Yeah. We have a rotating cast of 300 girls all the same height.

• 43:44Speaker 04

  That creeps me out, like you, you have to, it's very specific.

• 43:47Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 43:48Speaker 04

  Weird.

• 43:49Conan O'Brien?

  We should tour where you do that character and I do my shut up guy.

• 43:53Speaker 04

  Let's, alright, let's see.

• 43:54Conan O'Brien?

  Let's try it right now, let's go.

• 43:55Speaker 06

  Hello there.

• 43:56Conan O'Brien?

  Shut up, shut up.

• 43:56Speaker 06

  Yes, hello Conan.

• 43:58Conan O'Brien?

  Shut up, shut up.

• 43:58Speaker 06

  Conan.

• 43:59Conan O'Brien?

  Shut up, shut up, shut up.

• 44:00Speaker 06

  I just wanted to ask you.

• 44:02Speaker 04

  I think it works.

• 44:04Conan O'Brien?

  This reviewer walked out after one minute, the brilliant Andy Daly did his best, but Conan's shut up guy.

• 44:13Conan O'Brien?

  Who was 10 times louder in the speakers.

• 44:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 44:16Conan O'Brien?

  For reasons we, we soon found out that Andy Daly's mic had been cut on O'Brien's orders.

• 44:25Conan O'Brien?

  Alright, ask me some questions, come on.

• 44:26Speaker 04

  I'd like to hear about Penis Beach, please.

• 44:29Conan O'Brien?

  Penis Beach? What?

• 44:31Speaker 04

  Didn't you write the famous Penis Beach sketch?

• 44:33Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, Nude Beach, it's called.

• 44:34Speaker 04

  Oh, I thought it was called Penis Beach.

• 44:35Conan O'Brien?

  Let's not be crass.

• 44:36Speaker 04

  Alright, alright.

• 44:37Conan O'Brien?

  It's a sketch that I worked on with, I think, uh, well, Robert Smigel, it started with Robert Smigel's idea.

• 44:43Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 44:43Conan O'Brien?

  I believe.

• 44:44Speaker 04

  Matthew Broderick was the host?

• 44:45Conan O'Brien?

  Well, we had it kicking around for a while because we couldn't get anyone to do it and there was a big controversy because the whole concept of the sketch was a guy's really nervous, it's his first day at a nude beach and his friend's telling him, you know, get over it, it's not a big deal. And everyone has strategic, strategically covered genitalia.

• 45:03Speaker 03

  And was this because they were just, just then allowed to say penis on national television, I remember?

• 45:07Conan O'Brien?

  Well, it wasn't clear you, you could yet, I, I, is how I remember it. No, we used to do it, we did it in Chicago at the, at the, um, it was at the Victory Gardens Theater.

• 45:16Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 45:16Conan O'Brien?

  In Chicago, summer of 1988, we did a show there called Happy, Happy Good Show and this sketch did really well.

• 45:24Conan O'Brien?

  I would, uh, I think there's a guy who's on stage and he's just holding a beach ball in front of his dick. But, um, other than that, we're all naked and he's nervous, it's his first day at a nude beach. And I think Robert Smigel was counseling him and saying, you know, don't worry about it, it's just the most natural thing in the world, you'll even forget you're naked. Cause we just hang out and we talk and then I think I walk in and say, and I have a guitar, strategically placed. And I walk in and say, hey, Bill, and he goes, hey, this is my friend Steve. And I go, hey, Steve, and I go, hey, penis looking good. And then he goes, oh, thanks, and your penis is looking pretty good too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm using a new cream, you know, whatever. And then other people walk in and all we talk about is penises.

• 46:09Speaker 04

  I believe there were over 30 repetitions of the word in the sketch.

• 46:11Conan O'Brien?

  30 is conservative, that's in the first minute. And then it gets down to, hey, what, what are you doing with your penis? Well, I found a really good regimen for my penis is to, you know, and that's where, it's all we talk about, but as if we're just talking about the weather. And then I think my big contribution was it should end with, hey, let's sing a song and it's all about penises. And it's just the word penis, penis, penis, uh, and, um, we did this sketch and it did really well in Chicago. Then we took the show to LA, it did well in LA and then we took it to SNL and immediately we're in a room with NBC brass and they're saying, you can't do this. And it took a while, but then I think Matthew Broderick came on the show and we had-

• 46:51Speaker 04

  He insisted.

• 46:52Conan O'Brien?

  We, yeah, we-

• 46:54Speaker 04

  He took a stand.

• 46:55Conan O'Brien?

  We fought for it and we got it, we got it done.

• 46:57Speaker 04

  Uh huh, but isn't it one of the only sketches that was edited out for the rerun, like it doesn't?

• 47:02Conan O'Brien?

  I, I didn't know that.

• 47:03Speaker 04

  Oh, okay, that's something I heard.

• 47:05Speaker 03

  Not for the tape delay in the West Coast, but for the second airing?

• 47:08Speaker 04

  Yeah, right.

• 47:09Conan O'Brien?

  Possible, yeah.

• 47:10Speaker 04

  Cause of complaints.

• 47:11Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, there were a lot of complaints and-

• 47:12Speaker 03

  I remember when that aired.

• 47:14Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 47:14Speaker 03

  We talked about that in my family, we loved it.

• 47:16Conan O'Brien?

  It was a big thing because, you know, later on, people would say, you know, cause we would, our defense was it's part of the body. And we're not saying anything gross about the penis, we're just mentioning penises.

• 47:29Speaker 04

  Right.

• 47:29Conan O'Brien?

  And so, um, but yeah, we were, I mean, I like to think we were like Rosa Parks.

• 47:36Speaker 04

  You do?

• 47:37Speaker 03

  Can we edit that out of the second run of this podcast?

• 47:40Conan O'Brien?

  We took a really brave stance.

• 47:43Speaker 03

  Cancelled, cancelled.

• 47:46Speaker 04

  But also, I am under orders, Conan, to ask you about the Taylor Swift wedding. I'm sorry, I don't want to, I take no pleasure in this.

• 47:53Conan O'Brien?

  You know, we haven't talked about it.

• 47:54Speaker 04

  You have not?

• 47:55Conan O'Brien?

  My wife and I did go to that wedding.

• 47:56Speaker 04

  You did?

• 47:57Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 47:57Speaker 04

  I have, so my daughter, she's 19 and she's heard some rumors about the wedding. Can I run these by you?

• 48:03Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 48:03Speaker 04

  And see if they're true or not?

• 48:04Conan O'Brien?

  And I've been very discreet because I respect their privacy and I, I do, I really do.

• 48:10Speaker 03

  No, I'm not laughing at that, I'm just laughing at the thought of them having privacy.

• 48:15Speaker 03

  Doing the wedding at Madison Square Garden.

• 48:17Conan O'Brien?

  I know other people have talked, but I'm, but I will answer your questions if I can.

• 48:21Speaker 04

  Okay, alright, I have heard that some guests were required to arrive at the wedding five hours before the wedding began. That is one rumor I heard.

• 48:30Conan O'Brien?

  I don't think that's true.

• 48:31Speaker 04

  And I have heard that there were no-

• 48:32Conan O'Brien?

  I showed up five hours early.

• 48:35Speaker 03

  To a warm-up?

• 48:36Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, and no one was there. No one was there, and then someone said, can you just start unfolding these seats? And I said, sure thing. So, and I, I helped with floral arrangements, I got there very, very early.

• 48:49Speaker 04

  You did, they asked you to?

• 48:51Conan O'Brien?

  I think that's the reason I got invited. Was they know that I'm a good worker.

• 48:56Speaker 04

  You were willing to help out.

• 48:57Conan O'Brien?

  And my invitation did say, could you show up early and bring work clothes?

• 49:01Speaker 03

  The dress code is janitor coverall.

• 49:03Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, yeah, and I was like, well, I guess so. And then I was like, why is they including a mop in the dress code?

• 49:09Speaker 03

  But they did.

• 49:10Speaker 04

  Bring your own mop?

• 49:11Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 49:12Speaker 04

  Basically, her rumors all kind of have to do with like, there was a tier of guests who had to get there early, did not have chairs, and had to spend all this time without their phones, like, five hours waiting for the wedding to begin.

• 49:24Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, people gave up their phones, which was, I think, a good idea. I mean, first of all, I will say this, for me, anyway, I would like my phone confiscated all the time.

• 49:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, me too.

• 49:33Conan O'Brien?

  I am so much happier when I don't have my phone. You know, when I'm with my wife, she always has her phone, so if there's, God forbid, someone really needs to get in touch with us or something happens, or our kids need to talk to us, yeah, she has her phone, but I think it's now a great luxury not to have a phone.

• 49:46Speaker 04

  I agree, yeah.

• 49:47Conan O'Brien?

  And I think they should be taken away from all of us. But, yeah, I don't, none of that sounds familiar to me. Other than the phones, none of that sounds familiar to me.

• 49:58Speaker 04

  Everyone had a seat?

• 50:01Conan O'Brien?

  What? These are such boring questions.

• 50:03Speaker 04

  No, they're not boring, because they get, they imagine-

• 50:06Conan O'Brien?

  There is a ceremony-

• 50:07Speaker 04

  A dystopian wedding.

• 50:08Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, there's a ceremony where everyone is seated.

• 50:11Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 50:12Conan O'Brien?

  And some were punished, I remember, I was dressed as a custodian and did not have a seat.

• 50:15Speaker 04

  Right, okay.

• 50:16Conan O'Brien?

  And I was the only person-

• 50:17Speaker 04

  That gets to the heart of the things that she's heard and is concerned about.

• 50:20Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, I didn't, no, there's the part where you sit and you watch this wonderful, beautiful wedding occur, the ceremony, and Adam Sandler was brilliant and really sweet and perfection, and I keep bothering him, because we're friends, I keep telling him how it's one of the finest things I've seen a person do.

• 50:39Speaker 04

  Really?

• 50:39Conan O'Brien?

  He just hit the tone, he was funny, he was sweet, it was perfection, they were lovely, I, I just was very heartwarming, the whole thing was just absolutely beautiful, and people have, have said this, but I'll just double down, it was really sweet and real. And then, there's like a reception where there's places to sit, but you didn't want to sit, you know, mostly people are standing and talking and-

• 51:01Speaker 04

  I heard it was conducted like musical chairs, and that a chair was taken away every 10 minutes, and then if you couldn't find a seat, you had to leave.

• 51:09Conan O'Brien?

  That is true.

• 51:10Speaker 04

  Okay, alright.

• 51:10Conan O'Brien?

  That is true, they, and the weird thing is, the person taking the chairs away was Taylor.

• 51:16Speaker 04

  Uh huh.

• 51:17Conan O'Brien?

  Which I thought, it was just that she was busy taking chairs away.

• 51:20Speaker 04

  Very, like, her whole night.

• 51:20Conan O'Brien?

  And it was, I guess, a prank that Travis talked her into.

• 51:25Conan O'Brien?

  And, no, everything you're saying is insanity, I don't know, is your-

• 51:30Speaker 04

  And it was Paul McCartney on stage.

• 51:32Conan O'Brien?

  Is there any chance that your daughter's, daughter's reading-

• 51:36Speaker 03

  The Daily-

• 51:38Speaker 04

  The Daily Muse?

• 51:39Conan O'Brien?

  The Daily Muse? Because I feel like-

• 51:41Speaker 04

  I feel like you're looking for scoops, Conan.

• 51:43Conan O'Brien?

  Your scoops are so crazy.

• 51:46Conan O'Brien?

  Yes, it's been well documented that McCartney played and Stevie Nicks, and it was just fantastic.

• 51:51Speaker 04

  Specifically that he would play-

• 51:52Conan O'Brien?

  And my favorite thing is McCartney's playing a song, and he's playing "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and a guy just then went, "Hey, Conan, I just want to talk to you. So, on your podcast." And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? And I, like, missed a chunk of it, because, you know, I'm not, I want to be-

• 52:07Speaker 03

  Oh my god.

• 52:08Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 52:09Speaker 04

  But didn't he also stop every once in a while, and then everybody had to sit down? That's true. There's always, Paul McCartney was playing-

• 52:17Conan O'Brien?

  What?

• 52:17Speaker 04

  The musical chairs music. He was providing the musical chairs music.

• 52:21Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, yes, yes, I was sure you were saying.

• 52:22Speaker 04

  And so she would give him a high sign, and he would stop, and then everybody had to sit down?

• 52:25Conan O'Brien?

  He would play an iconic Beatles song that he's never played live before, and then he would stop, Taylor herself would rush over, remove all these chairs, and then he, Paul would, and she'd say, "Go, Paul," and he would start to play again.

• 52:36Speaker 03

  Wheels on the bus.

• 52:37Conan O'Brien?

  And then, I remember, I saw, I saw Lorne Michaels fall, because he thought he had a chair and he didn't. A lot of people were going down, a lot of people got very badly hurt, and they were, they were helicoptered out, which has not been in the press, which is weird.

• 52:49Speaker 04

  Well, it was a blindfolded musical chairs, right?

• 52:53Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, that was the fun part.

• 52:54Speaker 04

  I guess.

• 52:54Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, I didn't get what that was for, but it was so that we would sit. So, yeah, a lot of people got hurt, I thought it was a weird use of McCartney to make him sing Beatles classics.

• 53:03Speaker 04

  He's doing like, side two of Abbey Road, right? And stopping every-

• 53:06Conan O'Brien?

  He did, he sang for hours and hours and hours, and everyone, the chairs kept getting taken away, again, by Taylor herself.

• 53:12Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 53:13Conan O'Brien?

  Who at this point is drenched in sweat.

• 53:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 53:14Conan O'Brien?

  And then people just start sitting down and breaking their hips. Everyone broke their hips that night, my wife broke her hip.

• 53:20Speaker 04

  Uh huh.

• 53:21Conan O'Brien?

  I broke the left side of my hip, and then I broke it the right side later on when I got drunk with my dog. And, because, you know, you got to talk it down with someone.

• 53:30Speaker 04

  Sure.

• 53:30Conan O'Brien?

  And, yeah, it was, that was a crazy night.

• 53:33Speaker 03

  Is this the kind of, well, you, no, you go-

• 53:36Speaker 04

  I was gonna say, who won musical chairs? Great question.

• 53:38Conan O'Brien?

  This is a great question, it was Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper won, and then he was such a dick about it. Yeah, he anticipated he was gonna win, because I guess he's very good at musical chairs, so he had these t-shirts made that said, "I won, fuckers."

• 53:50Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 53:51Conan O'Brien?

  And he had a t-shirt cannon, he was firing them, but not into a crowd, he was walking up to people's faces and firing-

• 53:56Speaker 03

  Point-blank range?

• 53:57Conan O'Brien?

  Point-blank.

• 53:57Speaker 03

  T-shirt cannon?

• 53:58Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, and so, I saw him shoot, I think Dua Lipa right in the face with a t-shirt cannon, she went right down, she'd already broken her hip.

• 54:05Speaker 04

  Of course.

• 54:05Conan O'Brien?

  I mean, it was, and then-

• 54:06Speaker 03

  This is chaos.

• 54:07Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, and at one point, they opened, I didn't know they could open the roof of Madison Square Garden, but they opened it up, and it just, it was all helicopters helavacking people out. Half of them hurt with, because of the musical chairs, and then half of them shot in the face at point-blank range by Bradley Cooper, because he had won the musical chairs, with t-shirts he had made beforehand in anticipation of his victory. So, my point to you-

• 54:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 54:33Conan O'Brien?

  Is that, I can't believe none of this got out.

• 54:37Speaker 04

  My daughter has some inklings about it.

• 54:39Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. And I saw you, it's funny, at one point, I did want to get some treatment for something else unrelated to these other accidents. I just had some bad shellfish. So, I was being helavacked out, and I looked down, and I saw what I thought was you wearing a press hat. And you were on 33rd, you were on 33rd Street.

• 54:57Speaker 04

  With my photographer with a flashbulb in his hand?

• 54:59Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, yeah, and, but I kept waving to you, because I thought this was finally a big scoop, and you wouldn't look up, because I guess you have neck issues? You can't look up.

• 55:09Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't, it's just fine, I just can't report anything that's above, like, eye level, and that's fine.

• 55:15Conan O'Brien?

  So, all your, all your scoops were about, well, I'm still looking right at eye level, and I see nothing of concern here, when most every celebrity in the world is being helavacked out with a dangerous injury, right, right above you.

• 55:28Speaker 04

  Well, that's for someone else to cover, I guess, I'm just like, whatever, the Daily News is not gonna cover anything that happens that I have to crane my neck up, or down, or to the side.

• 55:39Conan O'Brien?

  You can only see, you have no peripheral vision, and you can only see straight ahead. This is hurt ear reporting.

• 55:44Speaker 04

  I agree, but there's nothing can be done about it.

• 55:47Conan O'Brien?

  Many times, you'll be out and something amazing will happen, and someone will say, "Oh my god, look at that," and you'll say, "Only if I could."

• 55:57Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, so that's, you know, I think I've given the most accurate reporting of what happened at this wedding.

• 56:01Speaker 03

  Is this the kind of wedding you bring a gift to? Because, I mean, you don't have to say.

• 56:05Conan O'Brien?

  I brought a rice cooker.

• 56:09Conan O'Brien?

  And, you know what, it was used.

• 56:11Speaker 04

  You sure?

• 56:12Conan O'Brien?

  It was one I had in college.

• 56:13Speaker 04

  Oh, it was, oh, it was a pre-used?

• 56:14Conan O'Brien?

  They don't make these anymore, and I'm not even sure it's meant to cook rice. There's a good chance that it's something that you heat an infected scalp with.

• 56:22Speaker 04

  Infected scalp? Infected scalp?

• 56:25Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, you know, you get those boils on your head, the way I do sometimes.

• 56:28Speaker 04

  Oh, so you put it on your head?

• 56:30Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 56:31Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 56:31Conan O'Brien?

  I thought that was a-

• 56:32Speaker 04

  I was envisioning a scalp that was not attached to a head.

• 56:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, me too.

• 56:36Speaker 04

  But had somehow become infected.

• 56:37Conan O'Brien?

  Mine's still attached.

• 56:38Speaker 04

  Okay, good.

• 56:38Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 56:41Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, that is a good question.

• 56:43Speaker 04

  What was it?

• 56:44Conan O'Brien?

  Gifts, gifts or not gifts, I didn't do a gift, but I should have.

• 56:48Speaker 04

  I think you have a year after the wedding, isn't that the etiquette?

• 56:51Conan O'Brien?

  Alright, I'm gonna do that.

• 56:52Speaker 03

  But they didn't have, like, a little clause in their invitation that's like, please, no gifts, we're mega billionaires here.

• 56:58Conan O'Brien?

  They were still- Well, first of all, that's just rude. You're assuming she has a lot of money, and you're assuming he has a lot of money, that's not cool.

• 57:04Speaker 03

  I don't think that's rude.

• 57:05Conan O'Brien?

  No, you're, first of all, that's just, oh, everyone in entertainment is just super wealthy, I think they're barely getting by. You know what I mean? And for you to assume that because she sells out tours all over the world, and has been one of the, probably the biggest star in pop culture for the last 15 years, that she has money, that's a terrible assumption.

• 57:23Speaker 04

  I guess you're right.

• 57:24Conan O'Brien?

  And you know what it is? It's very, it's narrow-minded of you, and I think, and offensive.

• 57:30Speaker 03

  I'd like to apologize to them, because I think you're right, and that, wait, I'm sorry, you're an asshole.

• 57:37Conan O'Brien?

  There you go. For a minute there, I thought, we're losing him. We're losing the patient. You guys let me for a second. He's back. He's back and all systems go. Okay. If you ever faint, instead of smelling salts, they're gonna grab me and put my head right next to yours. And you're just gonna be completely out of it. And then you're gonna go, "Here, asshole." And then you'll be, you'll have the same heart rate as an Olympic athlete. Do you want to apologize for anything? Oh. No. No, I can't think of anything I should apologize for. You, uh, you came here today? Yes. You offered- No, but I was asked to. You, yes, you were asked by our bookers. Yeah, okay. And then I did try to stop you. Oh, okay. I didn't know that part. This is my favorite kind of podcast of all because

• 58:21Conan O'Brien?

  it's all just foolishness. What do you mean? Falderol and fluff. And it makes me really happy. I don't think that's clear. Makes me so happy. This is the most substantive interview I've ever had in my life. I know. This, you thought this was like 60 Minutes. This was a real grilling. This guy's really drilling into me. I want to mention again, you're the host of the Andy Daly Podcast Project. Oh, yeah, on Patreon. And how come you've never had me on that? What's the problem? You have been on it. No, I know, but- Bananas for Bonanza, that's part of it. Oh, yes, yes, I did do that, but, you know, you could have me back. Absolutely. That's all I'm saying. And I'll tell you something else. I don't remember getting a check. Oh, really? Yeah. That's probably true. That's probably true. Yeah. Yeah. I like when a guy just says, "Yeah, that's, yeah, that's probably true." That's probably true. "Hey, wait a minute, you never paid me for that.

• 59:06Conan O'Brien?

  I catered your party." Yeah, that's true. That's true. I'm assuming you're Taylor Swift wealthy, so. Again, that's just rude. Yeah, I guess it is. You know. All right, I'll, I'll send you a check and I'll invite you back. And this time, I'll pay you before you even come. Also, the scoops I just gave you on the T-Swift wedding. They're huge. Wait till you see the Daily Mail get ahold of this. Oh, there's the Daily Mail? Yeah, I mean, the British tabloids love this stuff. And they'll, everything I just revealed is huge. We should monetize that. How so? I'm not sure. Well, I'm suing the Daily Mail for their name. They should not.

• 59:42Conan O'Brien?

  I forgot. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, you're gonna win. I think you're gonna win. I am gonna win. I'm gonna win that lawsuit. Yeah. I mean, it's, say it, the Daily Mail, Andy Daly, it's the same word. And your mail. You know what? Yeah. Well, you don't even, close, mail adjacent. You don't even need a lawyer. No, I don't have one. You could just get up in front of a judge and say that. Yeah. How are you gonna dress as a lawyer if you, as, when you're a reporter, you wear a hat? What are you gonna wear? Are you gonna wear an, an, an English wig? Embarrassed? A barrister's wig? Well, the Daily Mail is a UK-based newspaper, right? Yeah, you're gonna have to go to England. Yeah, I have to. I gotta show up in one of those wigs and a robe.

• 1:00:19Speaker 04

  But still put a little press thing in there.

• 1:00:21Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. Wear, wear a barrister's wig with a little press card. And go, "I'm here for justice and possibly a scoop." I do it all. But in your terrible British accent. "I'm here for justice and possibly a scoop." "And possibly a scoop." "And possibly a scoop." "It could go either way, or either way."

• 1:00:39Conan O'Brien?

  True or false? In the second grade, the first CD you ever bought was Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy." That is true. I find you- It was not a CD, though. It was a, it was a vinyl record. You bought the record? Of course. Why would a kid in second grade buy "Do You Think I'm Sexy"? Well, I had to choose. I was at Sam Goody.

• 1:00:56Speaker 04

  He wanted to know the answer to the question.

• 1:01:00Speaker 04

  He just played, he played it for girls individually. In his press hat.

• 1:01:04Conan O'Brien?

  To get different. I just love him inviting a girl in, "Uh, sit down. Sit down, Abby." And she'd sit down and you would, you'd be wearing your press hat with your card and you'd put it on, "If you think I'm honey and you think I'm sexy." And you're just looking at her. And then you take the needle off the record and you go, "And?" No. Answer the question. Answer the question. No, next. Next. And there's a line of 900 girls.

• 1:01:32Conan O'Brien?

  I had, I was trying to choose between Alice Cooper's, uh, record, because he had been on The Muppet Show, and I, I liked his record. Yeah. And, uh, and Rod Stewart's record. And I chose Rod Stewart because that song, "Do You Think I'm Sexy", was the big hit at the time. Sure. And I, I assumed the whole album was gonna be that great. It really was not. But I did bring it into my second grade classroom. Probably the reason I remember it's the first album I ever bought is that we were allowed to bring in our, our favorite music to play for the class. And I brought that record in. And how did it go over? It has a rather provocative album. Wow. Yeah, did they let you? Did they let you play it? Uh, yep, they let me play the big hit song. And then you did the penis sketch for the whole class.

• 1:02:07Speaker 04

  And then dropped a tray of juice.

• 1:02:09Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah. And then cut to exterior of school. A child is thrown out the window. A second later, his hat is tossed out after him.

• 1:02:17Conan O'Brien?

  You are, uh, a force for good in the universe. Thank you. Andy B. Daly. Hmm, close. I, I'd just love to give you a nickname, a middle initial. I have no idea what it is. What is your middle name? It's the letter J.

• 1:02:31Conan O'Brien?

  The consummate ass.

• 1:02:34Conan O'Brien?

  God bless you. Please come back very soon. I will, I'd love to. Um, and, uh, shut up, shut up, shut up. Okay. My new improv guide is sweeping the nation.

• 1:02:50Conan O'Brien?

  This fall, LL Bean is celebrating the moments people look forward to all year. The first school drop-off, the first sweater weather day, and the first chilly evening around the fire pit. For over 100 years, LL Bean has been part of these traditions. Crunching leaves in Maine-made Bean boots? Cheering from the sidelines in Scotch plaid flannel? And walking the dog in a rugged field coat? So grab the layers and people you love and get outside because that's what makes fall feel like home. Visit llbean.com to shop the fall collection. LL Bean, be an outsider.

• 1:03:29Conan O'Brien?

  So, now, what are some of the things in life that really get you down?

• 1:03:31Speaker 01

  Uh, driving?

• 1:03:32Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:33Speaker 01

  I, that's the first thing that popped in my head.

• 1:03:35Conan O'Brien?

  No, but I've seen you drive, and it's true. I'm always picking mailboxes out of your grill.

• 1:03:40Conan O'Brien?

  You're a creative driver. Uh, look, let's face it. Just living on Earth can be a lot, right?

• 1:03:46Speaker 01

  It can.

• 1:03:46Conan O'Brien?

  I mean, oy vey, it's a lot.

• 1:03:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:03:48Conan O'Brien?

  There's gravity, there's mosquitoes, there's the, you know that they say the sun is going to, at some point, go supernova and incinerate the Earth, probably in five billion years?

• 1:03:57Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:03:57Conan O'Brien?

  But watch your diet, we might be sticking around for that.

• 1:04:00Speaker 01

  Oh, man.

• 1:04:00Conan O'Brien?

  So, cosmically speaking, you've earned a break.

• 1:04:02Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:03Conan O'Brien?

  And you know where this is going? I think you do.

• 1:04:04Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:04:05Conan O'Brien?

  Pluto TV.

• 1:04:06Speaker 01

  Oh, right, of course.

• 1:04:07Conan O'Brien?

  To escape all of these hassles in life, you gotta get Pluto TV. Turn off all your earthly problems and turn on the movies and shows you already love. You've seen them, but you want to see them again. They're old friends.

• 1:04:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:18Conan O'Brien?

  Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Dirty Dancing, Alias, X-Files. Pluto TV is completely free.

• 1:04:24Speaker 01

  Ooh.

• 1:04:25Conan O'Brien?

  These streamers, all these things cost so much money these days. And I won't mention that when I do an ad for them, but

• 1:04:31Conan O'Brien?

  no subscription, no fees, zero dollars. And as any mathematician will tell you, zero is one of the most profound numbers ever conceived. I was thinking about that this morning.

• 1:04:39Speaker 01

  Wow, that's profound.

• 1:04:41Conan O'Brien?

  I really wasn't. The best thing on TV are free. Escape to Pluto TV, stream now, pay never.

• 1:04:51Conan O'Brien?

  This is a paid ad by BetterHelp. Mental health awareness is on the rise, which is a good thing. And a lot of people, uh, thanks to days like World Mental Health Day, which I think is October 10th, have people thinking about how to take care of themselves. And I think for some people, therapy can be a great way to support their mental well-being. Remember, therapy isn't just for big life choices. It can be a place to talk about relationship problems, work issues, or simply the sense that something feels a little off.

• 1:06:10Conan O'Brien?

  We have some important topics to discuss. And it involves a show called Big City Greens.

• 1:06:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, baby.

• 1:06:16Conan O'Brien?

  And I don't know much about this show. But Blay, why don't you take it away and lead us into it? Big City Greens, a couple of my friends, Chris and Shane Houghton, have a great show on Disney Plus. And they asked us, Matt and Sona and myself, to do voices on this animated show. And we did, and it was great. Do you realize you punched certain words there? Completely unnecessarily. What do you mean? They asked us to do voices.

• 1:06:45Speaker 03

  He's a voiceover artist.

• 1:06:46Conan O'Brien?

  Thank you. I am emphasizing certain words because it adds to the drama.

• 1:06:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, I did it.

• 1:06:52Conan O'Brien?

  Incredible. That was pretty good. This is an audio medium, by the way.

• 1:06:55Speaker 01

  It is.

• 1:06:56Conan O'Brien?

  Sure, yeah, yeah. Sure, we have microphones. What are you talking about? No, no, it's okay. I just want people to continue listening. Oh, my God. But, um, but okay. Do you want to say what you said right before we started about my voice? I just said, it's better when I, because you suggested maybe you start off the segment. And I said, I don't think that's a good idea because people listening will think it's an Amber Alert.

• 1:07:15Speaker 03

  Yes. It's very funny, yes.

• 1:07:17Conan O'Brien?

  Um, and they'll start looking for that Toyota Camry with a certain license plate on the highway. See if Little Billy's okay. Um, but, uh, so, so Blay, uh, this is, this is exciting. Happy for your friends. They have this show, and I guess it's a, it's a big deal, Big City Greens.

• 1:07:34Speaker 01

  I love Big City Greens.

• 1:07:36Speaker 03

  My daughter and I love this show.

• 1:07:38Speaker 01

  I love the show.

• 1:07:39Speaker 03

  Well, I think there's room for us all to love it.

• 1:07:41Speaker 01

  It is. No, I mean, I, I mean, it's like one of those kid's shows. It's not, I don't even know if it's a kid's show technically, but it's like very funny. And I think adults and kids can enjoy it.

• 1:07:51Conan O'Brien?

  When my kids were little, there were shows that I watched with them that I loathed. Because, you know, they were really little and they, they wanted to see, oh, I don't know, Dora, the Explorer, or Caillou.

• 1:08:03Speaker 01

  No shade to Dora or Caillou.

• 1:08:06Conan O'Brien?

  Yeah, no shade.

• 1:08:06Speaker 01

  No shade.

• 1:08:07Conan O'Brien?

  Well, I just think they should tell us, what disease does Caillou have?

• 1:08:11Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:08:12Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 1:08:12Conan O'Brien?

  You gotta come forward.

• 1:08:14Speaker 03

  Why are you putting Dora in Caillou?

• 1:08:16Conan O'Brien?

  Dora, I just, I thought it was creepy. They would do that thing where they'd go like, what should we do to find our way? And then Dora would kind of look around and look out at the screen. And this was the chance for the kids to go, map. And she'd say, that's right, map. I was driven mad by this, so I used to shout out the wrong thing.

• 1:08:32Speaker 03

  Like what? Okay, what should we do?

• 1:08:34Conan O'Brien?

  No, Dora would say, how do we, how do we, uh, find our way? And Dora would want me to say map, and her eyes would dart and look out at the TV at me. And I would say, uh, you know, spatula.

• 1:08:45Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:08:46Conan O'Brien?

  And she'd go, that's right, map. And I enjoyed it because it made it seem like she had lost her mind.

• 1:08:54Conan O'Brien?

  So, no, I wasn't having that. Caillou, uh, I swear to God, uh, needs, uh, needs help. Caillou needs help. But then, my kids got a little older, and they started watching these two shows that were just brilliantly funny. Teen Titans Go and Gumball.

• 1:09:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:09:10Conan O'Brien?

  And these shows were fantastic. And I thought, these shows are funnier than most of the edgy comedy, uh, that I, that served up to me.

• 1:09:19Speaker 03

  Big City Greens is like that.

• 1:09:20Conan O'Brien?

  Big City Greens is like that? Well, great. I'm gonna check it out.

• 1:09:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, so is Word Girl on PBS.

• 1:09:25Conan O'Brien?

  What's Word Girl about?

• 1:09:26Speaker 01

  And I, I was like, why is this so funny? And it's really short, but it's like Ellie Kemper's in it, Emmy Sedaris is in it.

• 1:09:33Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, great, yeah.

• 1:09:34Speaker 01

  It's like, like a lot of high pedigree people. It's awesome. Um, it's on PBS.

• 1:09:39Conan O'Brien?

  We also have, uh, they sent a, a picture of Matt and Sona's, uh, characters. Oh, cool.

• 1:09:45Speaker 01

  We're, we're big produce. That's our, that's our.

• 1:09:48Conan O'Brien?

  They're the enemy, basically.

• 1:09:49Speaker 01

  We play, we play the villains. Oh, my God. That is so cool.

• 1:09:55Conan O'Brien?

  That's great.

• 1:09:55Speaker 01

  You have a, Matt has a T-shirt cannon.

• 1:09:58Speaker 03

  I'm lavender.

• 1:09:58Speaker 01

  And I'm, I just have a dick look on my face.

• 1:10:01Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm glad you finished that sentence.

• 1:10:04Conan O'Brien?

  They spent hours, you know what they did? They spent hours studying Sona to get it just right.

• 1:10:11Speaker 01

  We're mass produce. We're the bad guys because the whole thing is about a small farm in the middle of the city.

• 1:10:17Conan O'Brien?

  Right.

• 1:10:17Speaker 01

  And they are at the farmies, from what I remember, which is like the Oscars for farms.

• 1:10:21Conan O'Brien?

  No spoilers.

• 1:10:22Speaker 01

  They gave us the synopsis.

• 1:10:24Conan O'Brien?

  Okay.

• 1:10:24Speaker 01

  I'm not gonna say who won.

• 1:10:26Conan O'Brien?

  I play farmer Zachariah. I'm in the middle. But they, they didn't give me any lines?

• 1:10:31Speaker 03

  I think I'm also that guy on the left.

• 1:10:33Conan O'Brien?

  Wait, wait. You started this whole thing by touting your vocal skills and how it's an audio medium. And your friends, your friends wrote a part for you where you don't speak.

• 1:10:43Speaker 01

  They're your friends.

• 1:10:44Conan O'Brien?

  What does that tell you? What does that tell you? Maybe they're listening to the podcast and realizing that's the sixth time he broke my Bose speakers. They just had me grunt, just do a bunch of grunts.

• 1:10:53Speaker 01

  Do one.

• 1:10:54Conan O'Brien?

  I was like, eh, eh. But also, I will say to your point, Conan, they had me, this is not a joke. They probably had me do 12 or 13 takes of grunts. So I guess I'm just terrible?

• 1:11:06Speaker 01

  Yeah, me too. I'm pretty bad, too. They had me do a lot of takes.

• 1:11:09Conan O'Brien?

  But how many grunts did, how many times do I have to do grunts, man? I mean, you could just, just do a grunt. I'd be do a good grunt. See, that's, that's there. Cut, print.

• 1:11:18Speaker 03

  Okay, well, they're gonna take that from this and put it in the show.

• 1:11:21Speaker 01

  You grunt.

• 1:11:22Speaker 03

  Blay's, no, you grunt.

• 1:11:24Speaker 01

  You grunt, bitch.

• 1:11:25Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, that's it.

• 1:11:26Speaker 01

  That's a good one.

• 1:11:27Conan O'Brien?

  That's a good grunt.

• 1:11:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:11:28Conan O'Brien?

  Okay, um, terrible.

• 1:11:32Speaker 01

  I'm sorry I called you a bitch.

• 1:11:33Conan O'Brien?

  I love, I love when I do improv, like, you're supposed to be super supportive of everyone around you, and I'm like, no. Bad choices. Okay, um, I, look, look at us. Because I'm in Toy Story 5, we're all getting.

• 1:11:46Speaker 01

  You had to, I knew you were gonna mention that in this segment.

• 1:11:48Conan O'Brien?

  No, no, I'm going somewhere with this. The point I'm making is that we are all getting voiceover work. And it's because of this podcast. People are hearing our mellifluous tones. And they're like, give me some of that. I want that in my movie or in my TV show. That's all I'm saying.

• 1:12:04Speaker 03

  You know what I want to do?

• 1:12:05Conan O'Brien?

  What?

• 1:12:06Speaker 03

  ASMR audiobooks.

• 1:12:08Speaker 01

  Audiobooks?

• 1:12:08Speaker 03

  After dark erotic fiction.

• 1:12:10Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:12:11Speaker 03

  The lady was ready.

• 1:12:14Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, you'd be so mad at it. It would be like PG. It'd be so boring.

• 1:12:18Conan O'Brien?

  Wait, was the most erotic thing, line you can think of, the lady was ready? The lady.

• 1:12:24Speaker 03

  Wait, that's how my wife says it.

• 1:12:26Conan O'Brien?

  The lady was ready. The shoe salesman approached. What are you looking for? I'm thinking of something that's comfortable, but I could potentially wear it to an outdoor garden party.

• 1:12:39Speaker 03

  It was precisely 4:00 PM and the lady was ready.

• 1:12:42Conan O'Brien?

  The lady was ready.

• 1:12:44Speaker 03

  Somewhere out, somewhere, somewhere out there, there's one person going. Now, that's my jam.

• 1:12:48Conan O'Brien?

  Would you put a lot of like crunching noises and stuff in it? Isn't the idea to have, uh, different tones?

• 1:12:54Speaker 03

  I guess that's kind of, but you might be thinking a little bit more of mukbang.

• 1:12:57Conan O'Brien?

  Uh, no, I wasn't, because I've never heard that before.

• 1:13:01Speaker 03

  Blay, for God's sake, you explain what mukbang is.

• 1:13:03Conan O'Brien?

  You did a mukbang in the Korean episode of Conan Without Borders. It's where you, uh, I don't know what mukbang is, so how could I have done something that I've never heard of before? People eating on mic. It's eating.

• 1:13:14Speaker 03

  It's disgusting.

• 1:13:15Speaker 01

  Oh, it's awful.

• 1:13:15Conan O'Brien?

  Oh, yeah, yeah. I didn't, it was called mukbang. Yeah, didn't we go to a mukbang? Didn't we go, wait, is that a different thing I've been giving?

• 1:13:22Speaker 01

  Did we go to a mukbang?

• 1:13:23Conan O'Brien?

  Well, yeah.

• 1:13:24Speaker 01

  Can you?

• 1:13:25Conan O'Brien?

  It's an orgy in a swamp, yeah.

• 1:13:28Conan O'Brien?

  Where the ladies are ready.

• 1:13:31Conan O'Brien?

  You're a fool.

• 1:13:32Speaker 03
