Conan's daughter is SO SMART in using that long drive and having his Dad experience the music and choose who he likes, rather than forcing him to just go along with her and what she tells him is good. Its a genius way to experientially introduce people to great music, and its so sweet Conan and his daughter bonded that way

[@H-Vox]

I find it touching that Conan's daughter invited him to join her at the festival, and made that effort to bond with her dad through a shared interest in music

[@nienkehuijbens301]

@@H-Vox especially since it might be weird to have your dad around at a festival. But maybe not if your dad is Conan

Nah that's gaslighting

Conan must have such a good relationship with his daughter for her to want to take her dad to Coachella with her, that's so sweet

[@calebray4168]

I hope me and my daughter can be like this when she’s old enough to escape her mothers delusions lol

haha i think it helps that he gets access to VIP sections!!! :P and her dad is pretty popular

[@sew75962]

@@crazysox305haha same thought! Yes it’s awesome she wanted to take him. But also you KNOW they’re not doing GA tickets 😂 I’d absolutely do the same thing. I’m about to leave for day 3 of ACL in Austin. And man I wish I could have afforded VIP.

[@Girintina]

I love how Sona said she couldn't be as creative as Michelle but Conan immediately disagreed and started talking about her book. It's always nice seeing the genuine friendship between them.

[@salsal435]

Exactly 😂😂 I was sure that he'd be talking about how it's strange that in many japanese households they eat dinner leftovers for breakfast etc

Omg yeah 😂😂

Me too. I thought that exact thing.

[@JimothyLahey]

Ironically, Michelle is Korean

[@TheBubbas22]

My wife has a gong that she gongs when she makes a sell. She works from home. No matter where we the family are in the house, we all audibly celebrate. Needless to say, our family loves the sound of gongs! Everyone should have one. It is in fact cathartic.

[@DolphinsAreBetterThanHumans]

You sold me on the gong. I'm buying asap. thanks 😉

Saw Japanese Breakfast at Lollapalooza Mumbai, India in Jan. They were so awesome. Full of energy. They lit up the crowd like no other band.

[@jeremyhopkins577]

When I saw the thumbnail I was like "wow, Conan's daughter looks just like him"

[@lesseketan3625]

Just finished Michelle's book, 'Crying in Hmart', when I was in Korea last month. Thank you Michelle for sharing your story as it helped me deal with losing my mom. Also, thank you Conan and Steven Yeun for your funny videos of your time in Korea. You make me laugh so much. Terrific interview!

[@_marimopeace]

as a jbrekkie fan I am so boggled to see Michelle on Conan but am SO happy for her!!!!! will sharpe was just announced to head the Crying in H Mart adaptation and I'm super excited to see more ppl get ready for this movie on the big screen; 2023 will the the hype year for Japanese Breakfast for sure!!!!!

Watching Conan for years I was always impressed by the music acts. Groups that weren’t well known to me but great music. It let me know that Conan had excellent taste in music

Like Japanese Breakfast, but Crying in h-mart was a true masterpiece. So much love for you, Michelle ❤

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

I really love Japanese Breakfast. I'm not that into newer bands yet I absolutely adore them. So happy they're getting more and more famous (I knew about them because of a game called Sable, such beautiful songs there made me seek them out).

[@snapjackal]

Check out Beabadoobee, The Japanese House, Snail Mail, and Caroline Polachek, too.

[@africkinamerican]

@@snapjackal I'm an old genXer and I found out about Caroline P in the strangest way. I listen to a chiropractor who has a wellness show on Chicago radio (Health Quest Radio) Hes Older than me , around Conan's age. He used her "so hot you're hurting my feelings" as bumper music last year . I needed to know who that was immediately.

[@AzeOfSpadez]

Same! But not from the actual game. It was a way to advertise the game and i fell in love with Glider.

[@orngpeelr9017]

Woah, I've been listening to Japanese Breakfast since "Soft Sounds" and watching Conan since 2012. I love it when two worlds unexpectedly merge.

[@darkevilazn]

Wow, thanks for introducing me to Japanese Breakfast. I like their songs. Thanks old man Conan.

[@rayjophiell]

Okay, I came in here hungry thinking it was going to be about food. Then I see this heartwarming video where everyone is uplifting each other. And now I gotta go find out what this Japanese Breakfast is all about.

[@Dreamcatcher9000]

I didn't know this singer and her band, so I literally thought that it was his daughter in the video and they were talking about how she got him into liking japanese breakfast.

[@seeroosdashiat9612]

Conan's got small gong energy

[@TruthAdv]

"A sizeable gong" is a phrase that's going to live in my head rent free for a while lol

[@AzeOfSpadez]

I absolutely LOVE that he singled out the Paprika song because that has been my favorite song since it came out. ❤❤❤ I also love that he’s a fan. 😅

saw the title before registering and thought you were gonna talk about food and the artist is like a japanese chef

[@TheLostBoy1974]

I’ve been living in Japan so long I thought this was going to be about Conan eating Natto and grilled salmon for the first time.

[@sevensabrina]

Loved this episode overall but also I really appreciate how many women have been (amazing) guests the past few weeks. There are soooooooooo many guys on, and they're all objectively great, but once I noticed the disparity I couldn't unnotice.

[@krylesangerbeaver]

It actually is a really fun book to read. Highly suggested

[@wickedawesomeo]

I guess indie pop is my ny genre now, listened to Japanese Breakfast after this pod episode and i really dig it

[@lmzn500]

omg I thought his daughter introduced him to literally Japanese breakfast and I was like yes ok 100% content, I'll watch anything of Conan why not. Gonna check out the band later😂😂😂

[@AzeOfSpadez]

Listen to Paprika, Glider, and Be sweet 😊

[@WelcomeToThe92503]

Lol who else thought this was actually Conans daughter? I was still convinced until he literally differentiated between his daughter and the guest. When he was telling that story I imagined him and the guest listening to music and I even thought the antedocte to the story was that he chose his daughters (the woman on the pod) band "Japanese breakfast" unbeknownst to him

[@mariaokhapkina6971]

Lol I was so confused. Went to google "Conan's adopted daughter" and was intrigued as to why she was missing from every picture of his family

[@PBandJ05]

thank you for telling me about their music.

[@spare97]

Anyone else clue in that Conan was in the VIP section at the Coachella concert that his daughter just happened to bring him to? I think that's as impressive as the rest of the story.

[@AzeOfSpadez]

“Hey dad, let’s go to Coachella this year” “Do they have a VIP section? I don’t want to steal the show and or get bum rushed by fans” seems plausible

[@9r393]

I thought he was gonna be talking about how good rice , miso soup and broiled salmon tastes in the morning 😂

I was feeling low and now I feel better after watching a few Conan podcasts

[@ORagnar]

I'm sure Conan knows the old T-Rex song "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" ... I believe it was a hit back in the day. Yes, it hit number 10 on the hot 100 around 1971-72 2.o0

I listened to Japanese Breakfast for a bit. And they play well, and it almost looked like I would like it, but then I saw it was primarily rooted in pop.

[@IrvSauce]

So thrilled to see my two greatest loves(comedy and music) intersect in such a specific way. Conan’s brand of comedy has been my favorite my whole life, and indie music is all I listen to since the mid 2000s. Now if Conan has Father John Misty, Julien Baker, or Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada on… sheesh.
