After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.
Sometimes I say I'm gonna talk about something exciting and it's just not I've pretty much lied to our our listeners
But I think this is exciting
recently, we celebrated our five-year anniversary of doing the podcast by releasing a
vinyl album and
It has really cool
artwork and
It was fun to make and it's called Conan O'Brien needs a friend
Quinquennial celebration vinyl and the reason I'm bringing this up is we we released it not that long ago and
It immediately sold out. Mm-hmm. And so we've decided to make a second pressing
It's a limited edition vinyl album and it's of course presented curated by myself Sona and Matt
In celebration of our podcast fifth anniversary we curated. Yeah, and this one the vinyl is
Orange this is a limited-edition
Orange, so let's just say you I'm gonna flash forward like 15 20 years
maybe 50 years and
the listener right now has one of these and goes in and
Says hey, I've got this Conan O'Brien needs a friend
Fifth celebration vinyl and the old guy. Maybe it's a one of those shows like antique stars antique roadshow or whatever
Pawn stars and they say oh, yeah that album. Yeah, that was quite a podcast back in the day. One of the big ones
I was like, yeah. Yeah. So anyway, I've got that and so I am guessing you just got the old regular vinyl
Black vinyl. Well, actually no, sir
My my grandfather bought this because he was a Conan fan. I've since listened. I'm not I don't get it. But anyway
It's this and he pulls out and the guy's gonna go
You got an orange one
You got an orange
Quinquennial and then it's gonna start shouting
Alarms will go off. We got an orange quinquennial a Conan orange quinquennial
And he's gonna say like do you have any idea what this is worth? Well, actually, I really don't I just you know
It's not important to me. I don't value material things
500 million dollars no way. Yes in this scenario in my mind
It's 500 million dollars. But of course, this is about 80 years in the future. Mm-hmm. Well, that's like a month's rent. I
See. Yeah. Also, this is the largest printing we've done and it's the second. So the first printing was less
Yeah, you were shitting on the black one
Yeah, black one is more valuable because there was only a limited quantity. Okay, one's a special color. Let me try it again
Yeah, you are you probably got that crappy orange one? No, no, no. No, that's too far. Don't shit on the orange
Okay
Well, if you got the orange one that's gonna be worth a lot, yeah, okay good, but if you got the initial black pressing
Well, I'd be worried more
Is that right? Yeah, but also in this scenario originally you said Oh 15 years in the future
I'm adding more time. I want to be 80. I want to be more like a hundred. Okay, like post-apocalyptic
Yeah, oh
Here come the Robotron
Get out of here, let's put on your exosuit
Humans detected humans detected. Is that an orange Conan O'Brien?
Or the more slightly more precious black
I will return this to the head of the Robotron
A longtime collector
So, yeah, it's a future well we have a little treat here today though just a taste
This is a taste boy. You must be thirsting for some Conan stupidity right now
This is a taste, you know
Cuz we don't play the vinyl because then you could record it yourself and you wouldn't need us and we couldn't exploit you
so
Here's a taste of an old-timey ad we record exclusively for the vinyl never heard before by non-vinyl owners
And you can get your vinyl at podswag.com slash Conan. Yeah podswag.com slash Conan. Give a listen
Hey already, are you afraid of that 1917 flu that's going around?
If so, you want Doc Palmer's
asbestos face mask
asbestos the new miracle
cloth it's been
proven to destroy all
Infectious vapors. Yes, of course many people say that asbestos has not been tested for long-term health effects
But take it from old Doc Palmer
Asbestos is the best cloth to have wrapped around your mouth
Available at any five and dime in your
vicinity just jump on the old
Large-wheeled bicycle who acts up your stash and get down to Doc Palmer's. Hi, Doc Palmer. Oh, hello
Yeah, what you wish it's Johnny Youngblood here. Just wondering if your Doc Palmer face masks are safe for kids
Of course, they're safe. There's nothing safer to put around your mouth then
asbestos
Thanks, Doc Palmer
That cough is probably not related to the mask
Everyone in this era is sickly get one now one for a dime two for three pennies
It doesn't make sense, but that's the way things were at the end of the First World War
Wait a minute. How do I know there's going to be two that's strange. Well, so it goes
truly dooly-doozy
Use code Conan on your
computerizing machine
The machine will be invented at about 80 years until then try it on an abacus you motherfucker
