Conan O’Brien Must Go Fan Compilation

2024-04-19 00:07:07

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.

1Speaker 1
00:00.00 – 00:06.22

Hey, if you're a regular listener to this podcast, you undoubtedly know that my max travel show premiered yesterday.

00:06.56 – 00:15.38

And the premise of the show is I visit international fans in their country that I first met while doing the podcast.

00:16.06 – 00:18.70

So I travel to their country and surprise them.

00:19.26 – 00:25.90

So anyway, this is a compilation we're going to play now of those people who ended up being a big part of the show.

00:26.20 – 00:29.36

And this is the first time we meet on the podcast.

00:29.36 – 00:33.16

All of these full length episodes are available in the podcast feed.

00:33.28 – 00:36.94

So if you miss them the first time you want to revisit, go to it.

00:37.34 – 00:37.60

Enjoy.

2Speaker 2
00:38.88 – 00:41.96

Hey, Conan, my name is Yarla and I'm from Bergen, Norway.

1Speaker 1
00:42.38 – 00:43.40

Let me say this correctly.

00:43.50 – 00:45.52

And first of all, nice to meet you, Yarla.

2Speaker 2
00:45.84 – 00:46.64

Yeah, that's pretty good.

00:46.78 – 00:46.90

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
00:47.04 – 00:48.28

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

00:48.38 – 00:50.34

You seem like a nice, cool chap.

2Speaker 2
00:50.56 – 00:54.22

I make Norwegian pop, like funk music with my cousin.

1Speaker 1
00:54.58 – 00:55.46

Wait, do you have a group?

2Speaker 2
00:55.58 – 00:57.42

Yeah, we have a group called Erda.

1Speaker 1
00:57.58 – 00:59.14

Can you rap in Norwegian for me?

2Speaker 2
00:59.36 – 01:00.50

OK, check it out.

01:00.78 – 01:01.26

Check it.

01:01.40 – 01:03.06

But you see, I go more than that.

01:03.16 – 01:04.02

That's it for the like of that.

01:04.30 – 01:04.60

So good.

01:04.90 – 01:06.26

You don't go to talk.

01:06.72 – 01:07.84

It's just any mother fucker.

01:08.00 – 01:08.30

I get both.

01:08.76 – 01:09.20

Wow.

01:09.30 – 01:09.96

I like that.

01:10.04 – 01:10.92

You should try it.

1Speaker 1
01:12.46 – 01:13.20

Gruden's the road.

01:13.30 – 01:14.50

Neither does the sightings.

01:14.68 – 01:16.52

So that we can go to Tokyo.

01:16.74 – 01:20.86

I stoned that route by the booth and sang that she looked like a fool.

01:21.14 – 01:24.36

Yes, I want to be a hit on the Norwegian pop charts.

01:24.40 – 01:25.36

Is that a possibility?

2Speaker 2
01:25.56 – 01:27.74

That is an above zero percent possibility.

01:29.68 – 01:32.84

I cannot say that it's over one percent, but it's like that.

01:33.52 – 01:36.04

Well, come on, mid zeros.

1Speaker 1
01:36.40 – 01:38.26

Listen, OK, zero.

01:40.10 – 01:42.26

Yarla, it was really nice talking to you.

2Speaker 2
01:42.40 – 01:43.70

Let me know if you guys are over here.

1Speaker 1
01:43.98 – 01:45.92

Kai, tell me a little bit about yourself.

01:46.10 – 01:46.76

Who are you?

5Speaker 5
01:46.90 – 01:50.62

I am just a run of the old mill fish farmer from Norway.

1Speaker 1
01:50.82 – 01:55.50

Do you like going out on the sea and working with these fish?

5Speaker 5
01:55.72 – 01:56.40

It's amazing.

01:56.40 – 02:01.16

We're we're just two like we're colleagues, but basically we're really

02:01.16 – 02:04.38

good friends going out on the boat, doing our thing.

1Speaker 1
02:04.52 – 02:08.40

Well, you mentioned that you go out in the sea with someone else.

02:08.40 – 02:09.10

Who is this?

5Speaker 5
02:09.30 – 02:10.84

His name is like in the region.

02:11.08 – 02:12.76

His name is pronounced God's human.

1Speaker 1
02:13.08 – 02:14.48

His name is Guard Seaman.

5Speaker 5
02:15.02 – 02:17.94

Yeah, that's yeah, it's Guard Seaman.

1Speaker 1
02:18.10 – 02:19.72

Do you ever get irritated with him?

5Speaker 5
02:20.54 – 02:22.16

Every day, every day.

1Speaker 1
02:22.36 – 02:24.26

What does Guard Seaman do that gets on your nerves?

5Speaker 5
02:24.54 – 02:26.06

What doesn't he do that gets on my nerves?

02:26.06 – 02:27.48

God just exists.

8Speaker 8
02:28.80 – 02:31.54

Hey, Conan, I'm Anna and I'm calling from Thailand.

1Speaker 1
02:31.80 – 02:33.20

So tell us a little bit about yourself.

02:33.28 – 02:33.90

Where do you live?

8Speaker 8
02:33.98 – 02:36.42

I live in Bangkok, the capital city.

02:36.54 – 02:36.72

Yep.

02:36.86 – 02:39.08

And right now I'm living with my mom.

1Speaker 1
02:39.46 – 02:40.10

How's that going?

8Speaker 8
02:40.62 – 02:45.82

Um, it can be quite hard when, you know, I'm working from home and I have to be on

02:45.82 – 02:49.06

Zoom and my mom will always yell outside.

1Speaker 1
02:49.32 – 02:51.08

What kind of things does she yell at you?

02:51.16 – 02:53.56

Anna, do you want dinner?

02:53.56 – 02:58.88

If I could talk to her, maybe I could explain to her that it's very important

02:58.88 – 03:01.62

that Anna do her work and you've got to stop yelling.

03:01.96 – 03:03.84

Why do you think she would listen to you?

03:04.50 – 03:05.64

Nice to see you, Whitney.

03:06.02 – 03:08.14

Uh, tell me a little bit about yourself.

03:08.28 – 03:09.36

What do you do for fun?

03:09.58 – 03:10.26

I climb.

4Speaker 4
03:10.46 – 03:11.98

I do indoor rock climbing.

03:12.24 – 03:12.94

Have you tried?

1Speaker 1
03:13.36 – 03:13.80

No.

03:14.12 – 03:17.24

The idea of going to a gym and doing rock climbing really frightens me.

4Speaker 4
03:17.26 – 03:18.38

No, it's really fun.

03:18.70 – 03:19.46

You should try.

1Speaker 1
03:19.70 – 03:22.34

Whitney, do you really think I'd be a good rock climber, honestly?

4Speaker 4
03:22.76 – 03:23.20

No.

1Speaker 1
03:26.90 – 03:28.52

Well, wait a minute.

03:29.08 – 03:31.68

Are you aware that I'm a very old man?

4Speaker 4
03:32.08 – 03:33.02

I am aware.

03:33.66 – 03:35.04

You like seventies?

1Speaker 1
03:35.74 – 03:37.62

No, I'm not seventies.

03:38.50 – 03:39.52

Like Whitney.

03:39.70 – 03:40.58

That's terrible.

03:41.38 – 03:43.66

Is there anything you'd like to say that's positive about me?

4Speaker 4
03:44.56 – 03:45.82

Well, no.

1Speaker 1
03:49.56 – 03:50.84

All right.

03:50.84 – 03:54.18

Uh, well, Whitney, I do hope our paths cross one day,

03:54.28 – 03:55.84

and you take care.

6Speaker 6
03:56.26 – 03:57.06

My name is Sebastian.

03:57.38 – 03:59.40

I'm calling from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

1Speaker 1
03:59.88 – 04:02.20

Tell me a little bit about yourself, Sebastian.

6Speaker 6
04:02.44 – 04:05.26

I'm an artist, a painter, illustrator,

04:05.64 – 04:07.54

and these are some of my paintings.

1Speaker 1
04:07.60 – 04:10.06

Oh my god, you're really, you're really good.

04:10.22 – 04:10.98

Those are terrific.

04:11.68 – 04:13.02

I'm curious, would you ever paint me?

04:13.20 – 04:13.60

Oh yeah.

6Speaker 6
04:14.16 – 04:15.12

You are very handsome.

1Speaker 1
04:15.94 – 04:16.74

Oh, that's pretty.

04:16.74 – 04:18.26

Thank you, and what have you noticed

04:18.26 – 04:21.82

about me that stands out in a portrait?

6Speaker 6
04:22.18 – 04:26.84

You have like a chin, like a tomato soup chin, you know?

1Speaker 1
04:27.58 – 04:29.80

Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

04:30.00 – 04:32.62

I have a tomato soup can chin?

6Speaker 6
04:32.66 – 04:34.28

A gumbo, a gumbo soup.

1Speaker 1
04:34.56 – 04:36.70

I don't care what type of soup it is.

7Speaker 7
04:37.72 – 04:39.54

Hello, Conan, this is Matias,

04:39.66 – 04:41.10

and I'm calling from Argentina.

1Speaker 1
04:41.62 – 04:43.30

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Matias.

7Speaker 7
04:43.64 – 04:47.44

I've just started the 11th season of our radio program.

1Speaker 1
04:47.44 – 04:49.12

Tell us about your radio show, that's exciting.

04:49.20 – 04:50.56

It's been going on 11 seasons.

7Speaker 7
04:50.96 – 04:53.12

Well, the problem is that nobody listens to us,

04:53.34 – 04:55.26

but otherwise, it's going great.

1Speaker 1
04:55.38 – 04:58.14

When you say nobody, when you say nobody listens,

04:58.38 – 05:00.32

give me an actual figure of how many people

05:00.32 – 05:01.62

listen to the radio show.

7Speaker 7
05:02.08 – 05:05.42

About four, maybe three people.

1Speaker 1
05:05.42 – 05:06.36

Jesus Christ.

05:08.16 – 05:10.30

Here's what I can promise you, Matias,

05:10.56 – 05:15.02

is that you currently have four listeners

05:15.02 – 05:16.34

that you're related to.

05:16.60 – 05:16.86

Yes.

05:16.86 – 05:18.72

I can improve your listenership.

4Speaker 4
05:20.10 – 05:23.70

My name's Cami, I'm calling from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

1Speaker 1
05:24.30 – 05:26.20

Hey, Cami, I'm told you need dating advice.

05:26.32 – 05:26.82

Are you dating?

4Speaker 4
05:27.54 – 05:28.30

I date men.

05:28.78 – 05:30.40

Only men, only older.

1Speaker 1
05:30.64 – 05:33.02

How much older than you do these men have to be?

4Speaker 4
05:33.36 – 05:36.24

Well, as much as they can and it's not creepy.

1Speaker 1
05:36.44 – 05:37.58

What's creepy?

05:38.08 – 05:39.54

Does 60 seem creepy to you?

4Speaker 4
05:39.84 – 05:40.82

A bit, yeah.

1Speaker 1
05:42.36 – 05:43.96

You're exactly 60.

05:44.28 – 05:45.84

I'm exactly 60.

05:45.84 – 05:48.04

When you meet a guy, do you tell him you're a fan of mine?

4Speaker 4
05:48.26 – 05:50.32

I don't want to hurt your feelings,

05:50.40 – 05:52.90

but you might not even know who you are.

?Unknown Speaker
05:55.26 – 05:56.14

Lies, lies!

4Speaker 4
05:56.78 – 05:58.60

They don't know Conan O'Brien,

05:58.82 – 06:01.18

they don't know the love of my life, Larry David.

1Speaker 1
06:01.44 – 06:03.24

The love of your life.

06:03.24 – 06:04.22

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

06:04.44 – 06:05.50

He's 76.

4Speaker 4
06:06.44 – 06:07.92

Yeah, but he's Larry David, dude.

06:08.80 – 06:11.64

Oh, oh, oh, so Conan O'Brien's a creep

1Speaker 1
06:11.64 – 06:13.12

because he just turned 60

06:13.70 – 06:16.36

and you see Larry David as a potential lover?

3Speaker 3
06:16.74 – 06:17.16

Conan.

1Speaker 1
06:17.34 – 06:18.52

Mohamed, how are you?

3Speaker 3
06:18.62 – 06:19.54

I'm good, I'm good.

1Speaker 1
06:19.70 – 06:20.68

Where are you right now?

3Speaker 3
06:20.98 – 06:24.42

So right now I'm in my family home in Dublin, in Ireland.

06:24.98 – 06:28.30

My family came here about 25 years ago from Pakistan.

06:28.62 – 06:31.30

So I was born here, grew up here, raised in Dublin

06:31.30 – 06:34.18

and for the past three, four years now,

06:34.26 – 06:36.40

I've been going to university in Nigeria.

1Speaker 1
06:36.40 – 06:37.52

Wait a minute, let's get our pieces together.

06:38.00 – 06:39.08

Your name's Mohamed.

06:39.54 – 06:39.86

Yes.

06:40.10 – 06:41.00

You grew up in Ireland.

06:41.52 – 06:42.00

Yes.

06:42.00 – 06:45.00

And you're going to the University of Bulgaria.

3Speaker 3
06:45.34 – 06:45.58

Yes.

06:45.58 – 06:45.74

Is that right?

06:45.82 – 06:48.28

I'm a fourth year medical student out there.

1Speaker 1
06:48.42 – 06:49.70

What do you think you want to do in medicine?

3Speaker 3
06:50.04 – 06:51.50

Something surgery-wise I think

06:51.50 – 06:53.06

would interest me quite a lot.

1Speaker 1
06:53.32 – 06:54.40

Okay, well my wish,

06:54.50 – 06:56.10

and I know this is a very strange thing to say,

06:56.30 – 06:58.98

is that one day you perform surgery on me.

3Speaker 3
06:59.00 – 07:00.34

That would be, that would-

07:00.34 – 07:00.74

That's what I want.

07:00.74 – 07:01.20

Be an honor.

07:01.38 – 07:03.08

That would actually be pretty incredible.

07:03.28 – 07:03.74

That's weird.
