Matthew´s got the old school vibe of a lieutenant of the RAF during WW2

[@Lanxe]

ahah first thing I thought of. He need to be dropping bombs on the huns, old boy!

[@cleverusername9369]

​​@@Lanxe terribly sorry chap, but in WWII we called the Germans "Gerry". "Hun" is so very 1915.

[@markalocon]

I am from Wales and I can tell you that Matthew is considered a legend right across the country. In fact most people have a photo of Matthew in their house and in some cases people will have shrines. When I finish shearing the sheep I will often find meself coming down the mountain with my friend Dafydd and we will say to eachother lets watch some Matthew Rhys shows. He is simply the best and he once shagged my sister, she said his penis was long and majestic. RIP Matthew Rhys

[@charlie-obrien]

That's an Irish fact!

[@ahoblit]

This story deserves a Limerick. I'm not going to write it because I'm of British ancestry. But it deserves one.

[@cleverusername9369]

Goddamn but you Welsh do have a way with words and a talent for storytelling, even if it's bullshit 😆 bravo from North Carolina, and I DID read these comments in Matthew's voice and accent, you'll be pleased to know. Whilst gnawing on a leek.

[@cleverusername9369]

Legend has it that Matthew Rhys was once charged by an angry mother grizzly bear protecting her cubs in the wilds of Montana, and he simply smiled at her, and she gave him her cubs. Such is the power of his charm.

[@dewimatthews]

Matthew’s transition in and out of the perfect Irish waller accent is a testament to his exceptional skill. Also he knows and can quote the Burton/Churchill story !

[@cleverusername9369]

AND he can do a spot on Churchill impression

[@travdaddy11]

The titles of the two videos posted today are mixed up. This one is the Gourley and Sona insurrection. The other video with that title eventually gets to some Welsh curse words.

[@obroni]

Sona was in charge, so makes sense.

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

Well I sure hope someone loses their job.

[@LoLo-hs7bp]

I genuinely think it's Jordans job to take care of the videos

[@clintronious]

Bley is dropping the ball, picking a new outfit for the next Harrison Ford podcast.

[@edpena516]

It seems so

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Matthew is so ridiculously charming and witty it's making me get a crush on him. Easily one of my favourite guests on the podcast.

[@dalriadajohannsen]

I am mostly Welsh myself and I am delighted that others are in love with the culture ❤️ Wales is a magical place.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

I had no idea whatsoever that Matthew is Welsh and he's a very underrated actor!

[@googleyeyed5814]

He’s not underrated; he’s won multiple awards.

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

@@googleyeyed5814 huh, I had to look him up on imdb to see who he was and what he's been in. I haven't seen any of the stuff he's been in or even heard of him before today.

[@micahclawrence]

Same. I thought he was American

[@micahclawrence]

@@googleyeyed5814you know what he means. Not a household name.

[@papasy3748]

Just started watching The Americans and he has been so bloody brilliant in every way and in every scene whether the circumstances were violent or tender and vulnerable.

[@elizabethlarson9655]

"One long aggresive vowel." That pretty much describes all Celtic languages. Well, except for Welsh, which is heavier on the consonants.

[@cleverusername9369]

I speak some Scots Gaelic and the best description I've heard is "it sounds like a series of increasingly angry repressed sneezes"

[@LuminousNews]

Outstanding conversation.

[@wy4553]

FINALLY! They teased his episode so long ago, I've been eagerly waiting for him to be back on the podcast!

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

"...leap like Nureyev"😂😂😂😂

[@cleverusername9369]

What an amazingly obscure reference 😆

[@ZeroKool7140]

This mix-up between videos and their title and description wouldn't happen under Jordan's regime and supervision.

[@micahclawrence]

He’s such a talent. Preposterous that they cancelled Perry Mason.

[@DanFlashes99]

I know right? first season was good, second season was excellent!

[@micahclawrence]

@@DanFlashes99 totally. They’d really found their stride. Cast was terrific. Guess we were the only ones watching it lol.

[@dipperdandy]

Yeah pretty gut shot about that. Not super surprised though, it was a pretty expensive production and they basically gave it no advertising.

[@micahclawrence]

@@dipperdandy I hoped since there were some lgbt themes that they may have been protected for at least one more lol

[@dipperdandy]

I envy your optimism. And yes as a LGBT person I had hoped that as well, but gave upsome time ago.@@micahclawrence

[@thedreamisstilldead]

The Americans is one of the best TV shows ever made. He's brilliant. The cast is brilliant.

[@djorgen]

Amazing actor, was great in The Americans!

[@leni_haylett]

Am i the only one that thinks Matthew would make an INCREdible candidate for a Walt Disney biopic actor?

[@micahclawrence]

He could do anything

[@hankkingsley9183]

Walt Disney was Welsh?!?

[@leni_haylett]

@@hankkingsley9183 No, he was American. but that's a fair guess.

[@dancertorunner]

« Leap like Nureyev » will now be part of my daily vernacular

[@lachauntiswashington231]

this is great😂😂

[@user-go1ms4dj3j]

That man is a legend

[@Conorguill]

I’d love for Conan to do a proper segment in Ireland

[@noellenn2122]

To whom it may concern at Team Coco - you’ve mixed up the titles of this and the previous video.

[@adriangarcia6090]

They mixed up the videos. Lol. This title belongs to the one titled Matt and Sona causes an insurrection

[@MackovaDraga]

😂

[@inappropriate_comments]

Sona's fault

[@baroquejen]

Some of my ancestors were from Waterford - I lived in London and brought my parents over ten years ago and went with them to Waterford. It was the trip of a lifetime for them - such a special place. They aren't able to travel now, and so I am so glad we did it when we did.

[@water.77]

I can’t wait for Conan to finally wise up and grow his hair and beard long 🎉

[@rachelbrough8160]

Adore Matthew Rhys, so talented and down to earth, naturally witty, charming and an all round decent person.....plus he's really handsome 😊❤

[@BlackWave54]

They're cowards if they fix the titles Because I watched both videos at release

[@_pulyx]

This dude is such a bonkers actor i had no idea this was even his voice/accent. Was totally in shock with the personality.

[@dstarling61]

Conan is a genius. I just about died laughing during the stamps commercial, when he did a JFK when he said “we do the hard part”😂

[@1maryayala]

Wondering if Bley uploaded these Matthew Rhys videos and mixed up the tittles.

[@kufitop]

"I couldn't lose him!" 😂

[@robbvaules]

Perry Mason's cancelation is a crime.

[@charlockprime]

If we ever need another Gary Oldman..

[@JR-rz1br]

Conan enjoyed the Nureyev reference.

[@sumandas9039]

♥️♥️♥️

[@ahmedkamal049]

The titles are switched, I was waiting for the curses but got the insurrection story ( which I think was a blessing in disguise ) , if your looking for the curses, this is the video link: Name: Matthew Rhys Caused An Insurrection At Team Coco | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend: Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqXQYoKsp5eEg9k

[@paultumaliuan9087]

Did they switch the titles of the two videos?

[@claudiogallucci563]

John Cale the violist/guitarist from Velvet Underground is Welsh too

[@richardmathews6236]

Loads of stealth Welsh out there

[@PhirstPlays]

slight upload error, no big deal. still very interesting.

[@edibleapeman]

Matthew Rhys looks uncannily like James MacAvoy.

[@changunn]

I had no idea he sounded like this?!

[@GicelleMarenco]

I don’t want to watch anything without Gourley & Sona.

[@cleverusername9369]

Then why are you here

My mom and her parents and maternal grandparents are all Welsh which explains my stubborn streak😮

[@hk9384]

😍

[@Baby0din]

Several of my 30 year old friend group died to that "Supposed virus" including a pregnant woman named Melanie. Her husband committed suicide. Thanks for that little reminder though Conan.

[@tonebenderx]

Matthew was great in his role as Perry Mason - one of the best series on TV. And, of course, HBO cancelled it after two season.

[@BlueInk912]

Wales ❤Eisteddfod

[@lisas5211]

Matthew Rhys (sigh) 🥰

[@Duke1971]

Insurrection justified! That said, great interview

[@davidlawrence2915]

I’ve been saying that I grew up in the late 80s, and most of my pictures featured moustached, shirtless Uncles in short shorts, and now my Nephew born in 2020 has people in masks. Both shocking. Lol.

[@GPS379]

I'm not confused at all 😅

Phillip Jennings 😮

[@desiii420]

Man alive, same with my wife. Like the story is more important then truth.

[@joecardigan]

That wasn't Richard Burton Coney! It was Orson Welles!

[@srconrad]

It's an Irish fact, man.

[@joecardigan]

@@srconrad lmao you're the man for that one!

[@danieljones4754]

I've seen them both use the same story, with a bow

[@IAmFJ1]

Matthew Rhys IS delightful and fun and adorable really but Matthew Rhys with American accent is really terrifying to me. That blank Philip stare too. It's like you feel someone is going to die pretty soon.

[@mjb8708]

It is disconcerting to hear Matthew's true accent, after hearing his "American" accent so many times.

[@soussansabra3207]

Brave heart Conan the barbarian and every movie where a male is a hero. 😅

[@mariarahelvarnhagen2729]

AI IQ

[@AngeloRyanMaalat]

TEAM COCO FIX THE TITLES

[@janekihm5119]

Effortless

[@mindymmk]

I expected Conan to play Matt's and Sona's messages for Rhys. Very disappointed

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

I don't like when he does the podcast at SXM. The studio is over-lit and the whole thing feels sterile.

[@shephusted2714]

conan speaks gaelic from genetic memory #team conan 2024 #cairn bears #bitters #fart tankards Fel rhech mewn pot jam. Translates as: Like a fart in a jam jar.

[@BattShytKuhraezy]

😎 🆒️

[@thejigmire1453]

this convo is relevant to the hasan minaj debacle.

[@asaturn]

I always forget he's not American

[@esareteefour]

WOW WOW WOW, i literally just realized that Matthew played Lady Love's half brother in the one season only series of The Bastard Executioner! WOW! Mind blown

[@pkeld148]

Asking Conan if he had imposter syndrome.. how bout every waking minute while at NBC?

[@whyilee]

Conan is always trying so damn hard to cater to the guest that he sometimes says complete bullshit. I am European and I have a degree in literature and the Americans have an amazing storytelling tradition. It's just different from Europe, Britain, etc. obviously

[@writerchick94]

American oral folktales aren't intentionally funny though. We don't have that jokey storytelling tradition. We have comedy and we have great satirical literature, but the whole "Irish fact" thing isn't an American tradition, it's pulled in from other traditions. There's a difference between storytelling traditions and literature.

[@maximusorgazmo3750]

Obama, ur momma could walk better than Biden right now. 😭😭 Yes Ik she dead… I meant what I said.

[@michaelweston2285]

how do we know the American accent we hear from him playing characters isn't his real self? and this cartoonishly thick accent he does off-screen isn't his real acting?

[@Somebodys.nobody]

👎😡👎

[@HeWhoLoMeins138]

Titles of the videos are mixed up

[@arsmor1end1]

What kind of person reads the video titles?!? 🫠
