Anyone thinks John Mayer would make an excellent interviewer? He is so engaging and not simply answering questions. I’d watch a show where he is interviewing musicians.

[@globdrop]

That's literally what they talk about in this episode. He is doing that. SiriusXM channel 14

[@oakleyducati1]

Oh perfect! Didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. I’d listen to him interviewing Joni Mitchell, if that ever happens. ❤️

[@rjmari]

Mayer was one of Craig Ferguson's guest hosts while he was out. So you're not wrong.

[@christianklintholm]

@@oakleyducati1 Joni had a brain aneurysm a couple of years back and struggles with a skin disease. Doubt it will ever happen - sorry.

[@oakleyducati1]

@@christianklintholmShe performed just last night at the Grammys. So, one can hope. Both are prolific musicians and that conversation would be insightful.

[@paullazo19]

Someone said the word 'train'. Of course Mayer is gonna write a song about it.

[@jason1666]

That's why they call him John "Train Guy" Mayer

[@michaelb3927]

He’s the musical equivalent of those improv sketch groups lol

[@neuvisean1739]

Please don't stop this train

[@ColinStachowski]

Because it's a last train home?@@neuvisean1739

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

John Cold Train. I'll see myself out.

[@angelpipessd]

I’ve had “walkin’ all wrong” stuck in my head since this episode dropped - well done, Mayer

[@OtherRaptor]

Bruce Springsteen’s been pretty quiet since Ballad of Limpy dropped

[@hansolo5330]

I love that John Mayer can just sit back and enjoy the moment. Understanding the jokes and laughing as it comes. So many guest and fans get so uptight in the moment that they can’t see and comprehend the funny

[@lightsoutisay]

John's sense of humor is on point, really smart dude.

[@valerianbowie1099]

Especially since he has always struggled with anxiety

[@KJ-je9pm]

He’s a big Conan fan from the beginning. He knows his humour

[@RuthwikRao]

I REALLY want the last section of this episode to be posted here as well, it's some of the best riffing this podcast has had, so much physical comedy and sheer wall to wall spontaneity between Conan and John. Plus I haven't seen Conan laugh this much since Kevin Nealon.

[@JasonMcBason]

John's improvised song lyrics were amazing lmao

[@1029blue]

You should look up the songs that he wrote when he was doing Current Mood (Drone Shot of My Yacht, CVS Bag, etc.). Comedy gold.

[@supadopemex9245]

This is probably my favorite episode in this podcast. I’ve listened to them all. This was hilarious the entire way through 🤣🤣

[@patrickbateman7769]

i love how conan just encourages everyone to be their most crass, unfiltered selves around him. The goat for a reason.

[@patrickbateman7769]

@@Spoonforkbowl and I can agree with that sentiment, I love Letterman, he laid the foundations of the ideal talk show host post Carson but to me Conan just has that undefinable spark that makes him seem less like a big shot celebrity but the class clown everyone loved back in high school.

[@richsackett3423]

Watching John Mayer goof on Bruce Springsteen is the best pod Conan has ever made.

[@florete2310]

"Come on! Get it together!" - that is a great line to shout out in front of the guy who just managed to get himself dismembered by sleeping on a train track, LOL😂

[@timg2036]

To be fair, the Ballad of Limpy sounds like a rehash of "Tougher than the Rest" by Bruce Springsteen, a song John Mayer has previously said is a favorite and has played live.

[@emu_warrior]

thats... the joke

[@JuhoTunkelo]

That’s kinda what Conan’s interjection sounded like.. I think they’re in on it :)

[@edcady-ross9858]

Yh John said Tunnel of love, which is the album tougher than the rest is on so it was intentional

[@Ravenzero-oz7sf]

Mayer's was killer funny😂😂. Love his vibe in the interview

[@voz3704]

I want....no. We NEED a full version of "Ballad of Limpy".

Conan & John Mayer made comedy and music magic. My favorite episode so far. Huge fan of both guys, laughed so hard. 😅

[@NosManJr]

2 songs and a app is basically 6 seasons and a movie!

[@Spirit-FilledMindset]

John's bit on Impractical Jokers where he is improvising lyrics about fender benders is top notch. He's incredibly talented.

[@mattmays9063]

Watching titans of creativity unleash their playful spirits is the zenith of entertainment.

[@m015t5]

lol his awkward chuckle and expression 1:03

[@HoneyMike]

I need the Ballad of Limpy on vinyl and digital. Especially with Conan’s contributions

[@GibsonSG2001]

Please upload the whole podcast on KZbin!!

[@18Jair10]

Awesome clip, so awesome to hear two brilliant minds work together

[@rayberezitzky8560]

"I was walkin' all wrong"... poor Limpy, if only he heard that train a comin'.

[@english_breakfastwo]

Wow you guys are quick! Thank you so much.

[@bogwitchsophie]

These Miller Ad reads are HILARIOUS. Imagine Coco doing his "old timey voice", bursting through your door like "MMMMM HELLOW FELLOW CHUMS! ARE WE ENJOYING SOME'A REFRESHING MILLER?!" Big "Hello fellow children" energy. lol

[@TheChupacabra]

He’s a brutal warlord with these ads. Sitting on a pile of riches, demanding more chests of gold be dumped at this feet

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

Steve Buscemi and John Meyer walk into a bar... It's clearly sited in Hell, so David Allen Coe is playing on the jukebox, "I was drunk, the day my mother, got out of prison..."

[@generaljellyroll8737]

“Limpy” is his actual legal name and his parents didn’t know how appropriate it was going to be

[@fiftyfive70]

It was a Self-fulfilling prophecy, really.

[@generaljellyroll8737]

@@fiftyfive70 He probably wouldn’t have fallen asleep on the tracks had he had a different name.

[@mikeng7836]

Nominative determinism, like how Usain Bolt became fast, Limpy had a limp

[@alphabrainwave]

His birth name is Limpston Hobbles III. This peg leg has been passed down for generations.

I love Conan and John Mayer so much. I can only imagine the energy in the room!

[@dolphy1978]

I never ever skip the Miller Lite "commercial" cause the high fiving parts drown me in tears of joy.

[@CreamyItalian]

I can't get enough of this segment! I'm watching this daily and it's always funny! Mayer is comedy gold with Conan. Damn Conan has the best people come through the studio and together make awesome magic.

[@maheshmenon1363]

This episode made my day. Very rare for any of the episode not having a separate ending segment.

[@deso_iso]

Watched this @ 10 AM lol 6:22

[@TheDigitalDecade]

I’ve wanted to dislike John Mayor out of pure jealousy for DECADES and I just CAN’T, lmao. That was hilarious.

[@zunairyusuf4062]

I don’t really know any John Mayer songs, But walking all wrong, I’m a be singing it all day

A good comedian

[@soussansabra3207]

Love this word impromptu just love it no words why yet. 😅

[@sevii9256]

“Everyday begins at 10:30 AM” lmao he could be a comedian

John Mayer is so effortlessly entertaining. Conan was trying hard to keep up but and was kind of being an ass but they had good chemistry.

[@thanosferentinos1558]

John Mayer or someone PLEASE release that song, full version!

Thank you Mayer for your comedy. Gold!

[@lynnlee2282]

Don’t forget CVS bag 😂

[@Sarsour_]

Awesome!

[@holively7]

I listened to this episode last night, and because listening I was like, "I'm not sure I care that much about what John Mayer has to say." But I have to say this may be the best episode I've listened to. It's hilarious, and John and Conan had some incredibly insightful discussions. Super great.

[@lachauntiswashington231]

this is great🤣🤣🤣

[@mcm2366]

We need a meeting of the Johns. Mulaney and Mayer with Conan would be great!

[@nickgalla-barth6336]

Nice watches, by the way. Conan sporting the Bond Omega Seamaster in titanium and John wearing, what looks to be a Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon.

I could’ve been the greatest of my kind with lyrical credit, but some people just can’t give it up and prefer hogging that tiny, tiny spotlight for themselves. Now, twenty years later, I’m the only one.

[@jygproductions3230]

It almost feels like Conan hires people to be around him and laugh whenever he says anything. It’s so weird how they die laughing at the most simple and basic talk show humor, like a permanent paid live audience.

[@jameswinterfield765]

can john mayer come ..?

Maybe "hanging on by a nerve" would work better.

Well that was wacky.

Wow, he blocks off an entire 30 minutes?!

Wonder how he writes all his funny jokes before he goes to a podcast rehearsed talk before hand cuz celebs gotta watch what they say or no money so if you think this wasnt rehearsed for a celeb not ruin his career come on dummies
