Vinyl Sneak Peek

2024-05-22 00:06:32

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.

00:04.46 – 00:09.78

Sometimes I say I'm gonna talk about something exciting and it's just not I've pretty much lied to our our listeners

00:09.78 – 00:11.28

But I think this is exciting

00:12.02 – 00:19.04

recently, we celebrated our five-year anniversary of doing the podcast by releasing a

00:20.18 – 00:21.60

vinyl album and

00:22.38 – 00:23.68

It has really cool

00:23.68 – 00:25.36

artwork and

00:25.36 – 00:28.70

It was fun to make and it's called Conan O'Brien needs a friend

00:29.30 – 00:35.30

Quinquennial celebration vinyl and the reason I'm bringing this up is we we released it not that long ago and

00:36.06 – 00:41.64

It immediately sold out. Mm-hmm. And so we've decided to make a second pressing

00:41.64 – 00:48.00

It's a limited edition vinyl album and it's of course presented curated by myself Sona and Matt

00:48.00 – 00:54.30

In celebration of our podcast fifth anniversary we curated. Yeah, and this one the vinyl is

00:55.08 – 00:57.08

Orange this is a limited-edition

00:58.26 – 01:04.02

Orange, so let's just say you I'm gonna flash forward like 15 20 years

01:04.02 – 01:06.60

maybe 50 years and

01:06.60 – 01:10.72

the listener right now has one of these and goes in and

01:12.06 – 01:14.78

Says hey, I've got this Conan O'Brien needs a friend

01:15.40 – 01:22.22

Fifth celebration vinyl and the old guy. Maybe it's a one of those shows like antique stars antique roadshow or whatever

01:22.80 – 01:28.90

Pawn stars and they say oh, yeah that album. Yeah, that was quite a podcast back in the day. One of the big ones

01:28.90 – 01:33.90

I was like, yeah. Yeah. So anyway, I've got that and so I am guessing you just got the old regular vinyl

01:34.44 – 01:36.78

Black vinyl. Well, actually no, sir

01:37.92 – 01:45.26

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

01:46.34 – 01:49.40

It's this and he pulls out and the guy's gonna go

01:52.78 – 01:54.42

You got an orange one

01:55.72 – 01:57.38

You got an orange

01:58.78 – 02:00.74

Quinquennial and then it's gonna start shouting

02:00.74 – 02:06.70

Alarms will go off. We got an orange quinquennial a Conan orange quinquennial

02:07.52 – 02:12.92

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

02:12.92 – 02:15.42

It's not important to me. I don't value material things

02:16.02 – 02:20.26

500 million dollars no way. Yes in this scenario in my mind

02:20.26 – 02:27.60

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

2Speaker 2
02:27.60 – 02:33.50

See. Yeah. Also, this is the largest printing we've done and it's the second. So the first printing was less

3Speaker 3
02:33.50 – 02:35.68

Yeah, you were shitting on the black one

02:35.68 – 02:42.24

Yeah, black one is more valuable because there was only a limited quantity. Okay, one's a special color. Let me try it again

1Speaker 1
02:42.24 – 02:49.08

Yeah, you are you probably got that crappy orange one? No, no, no. No, that's too far. Don't shit on the orange

02:49.66 – 02:50.18

Okay

02:52.04 – 03:00.38

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

03:01.04 – 03:03.14

Well, I'd be worried more

3Speaker 3
03:03.86 – 03:09.46

Is that right? Yeah, but also in this scenario originally you said Oh 15 years in the future

1Speaker 1
03:09.46 – 03:14.88

I'm adding more time. I want to be 80. I want to be more like a hundred. Okay, like post-apocalyptic

03:15.42 – 03:17.14

Yeah, oh

03:17.14 – 03:19.90

Here come the Robotron

03:21.04 – 03:25.64

Get out of here, let's put on your exosuit

03:29.42 – 03:34.02

Humans detected humans detected. Is that an orange Conan O'Brien?

03:35.28 – 03:38.42

Or the more slightly more precious black

03:39.24 – 03:43.42

I will return this to the head of the Robotron

03:43.42 – 03:46.06

A longtime collector

2Speaker 2
03:46.78 – 03:52.92

So, yeah, it's a future well we have a little treat here today though just a taste

1Speaker 1
03:52.92 – 03:57.30

This is a taste boy. You must be thirsting for some Conan stupidity right now

03:58.54 – 04:00.18

This is a taste, you know

04:00.18 – 04:04.92

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

04:05.72 – 04:06.16

so

04:08.80 – 04:15.88

Here's a taste of an old-timey ad we record exclusively for the vinyl never heard before by non-vinyl owners

2Speaker 2
04:15.88 – 04:23.80

And you can get your vinyl at podswag.com slash Conan. Yeah podswag.com slash Conan. Give a listen

1Speaker 1
04:28.88 – 04:34.66

Hey already, are you afraid of that 1917 flu that's going around?

04:36.20 – 04:39.72

If so, you want Doc Palmer's

?Unknown Speaker
04:40.44 – 04:41.88

1Speaker 1
04:47.68 – 04:49.92

proven to destroy all

04:49.92 – 04:56.80

Infectious vapors. Yes, of course many people say that asbestos has not been tested for long-term health effects

?Unknown Speaker
04:56.80 – 04:58.70

But take it from old Doc Palmer

1Speaker 1
04:59.44 – 05:03.10

Of course, they're safe. There's nothing safer to put around your mouth then

?Unknown Speaker
05:30.02 – 05:30.62

asbestos

05:30.62 – 05:31.68

Thanks, Doc Palmer

1Speaker 1
05:33.80 – 05:37.94

That cough is probably not related to the mask

05:38.54 – 05:45.50

Everyone in this era is sickly get one now one for a dime two for three pennies

05:45.50 – 05:51.90
