Conan’s Family Wasn’t Cut Out For The Country Club | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@lightrosebud]

I know it's been said a million times but it's so cute how Conan doesn't stop going until Sona can't breathe, hahahah

[@alzaresh]

Yeah :), at that point it feels like it's definitely Sona alone that is keeping Conan going. It's honestly kind of adorable.

'And Her Name Was Maud' is a comic strip by Frederick Burr Opper. It first appeared in the Hearst newspapers on July 24, 1904. Maud was a revenge-seeking mule belonging to farmer Si Slocum and his wife Mirandy. Most of the action was a build-up to Maud kicking someone into the air. Si was the most frequent victim.

[@mb_249]

I can't believe you found it, ty 😂😂😂

[@rdr99310]

I absolutely love the progression of these episodes...they begin with funny, then Conan starts ramping up...by the time he's raving about Moddie and Shittzy (grandparents) and the country club kicking them out, Sona is almost on the floor, Gorley is nearly flatlining, and he's still not quite at peak. Moments later Sona can't breathe and Matt is dead.

[@earlygray4456]

It's like Sona has become Conan's muse. If she is laughing he is pushing the bit as far as he can. Her laughter is fuel to his bits. Because Sona is a good representation of his audience and he knows as long as she is laughing so are we.

[@ajs1340]

Ok hands down this was my favorite of all time. When he goes off on those tangents I lose it but this one took it to another level.

[@karianneesseveld8240]

Noone beats this man in being a comic genius, holy hell.. lost my breath, cried, got a stomach ache from laughing.

[@TLguitar]

8:16 I like how Conan immediately switches the voices so the worker of a prestigious, stuck-up 1960s country club starts talking like a random person off the street while his own Irish Pirate persona speaks like a 19th century detective.

[@geisaune793]

Sona's laughter is the gasoline that keeps these moments on the podcast running hot

[@frankeckhardtii9072]

"Is that a golf course?" "Can we play? "We have hockey sticks!" 😆

I'm sure many can relate, back in the day especially. "Let's go throw ball! Yeah! But I lost ball. How about this rock? OK!"

I forget how funny Conan can be because of how well he moulds his style to suit his guests but every now and then he'll remind us that he is the GOAT 😂😂

[@cece8095]

The absolute nonsense of this podcast is just my favorite. Conan & Sona are just simple comedic magic 😂. Just true hilarious brother sister energy lol ✨. Once he just goes off on jokes, she just loses it lol. It’s hilarious. This escalated in the best way LOL 👏🏻

Conan is absolutely correct in stating that he really wouldn't fit into the country club milieu, especially in Brookline. As way of explanation and understanding it should be noted that there are two golf courses located in Brookline, Massachusetts - "The Robert T. Lynch Municipal Brookline Golf Course - AKA the "Public Golf Course" and "The Country Club" (no other adjective, descriptor, or modifier added, it was just the "THE". While Conan could have probably been a caddy at THE (but not if Conan was Conan), the Municipal Course would have welcomed him and any of his witticisms and/or hijinks with open arms!
