Goldie is so compelling that I appreciated Conan's silence. She knows the business, is so articulate and is very compassionate. Rare. Very rare.

I often waited on Goldie when I was a young bank teller in Burbank in the late 60s. She’s always been adorable.

I love Goldie, and all her movies; Foul Play, First Wives Club, Overboard, Death Becomes Her, etc. She was a customer of mine in a furniture store I worked at when I lived in New York, and she was fun and lovely!

Actually no, Graham Norton is and so is Craig ferguson. Conan is amazing, but definitely not comparable to Carson

[@CoochiesaurusX]

I think this is the least Conan has ever talked on a podcast bc my god her stories were just incredible and unbelievable

[@Not_a_smart_man]

He probably had to go home and talk to himself in front of a mirror for 2 hours

[@markdaly1648]

The jim Carrey parody of conan o brien is spot on. His fans love him but working for him must have been a nightmare that is the part that carrey got so well. Andy richer discussed that on the podcast with sona.

Goldie is just so genuine, especially when talking about Kurt Russell caring about her (now their) kids. Conan’s clearly appreciating the moment and has no need to interrupt.

[@grizzlehatchet1]

We don’t know this woman. We don’t know Kurt Russell. They are actors- you know that, right? Being enchanting and good story tellers is a part of their job they have perfected for decades. They may actually be nice people- but a half hour podcast or seeing her in a few interviews or bios, tells you nothing. 🙄

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

I just rewatched Death Becomes Her, the whole cast is great in that. I love dark comedies. "She's dead sir, they took her to the morgue". "The morgue? She'll be furious!"

[@michaelrafales2782]

Beautiful story. And another example of why Conan is the greatest. He knows when to let the guest talk, and his timing is perfect as always.

She’s not underrated.🙄 Another underrated comment on KZbin…make it stop!

I think of them as having been together forever but she was 38 when she started dating Kurt.

Kurt and Goldie are gold together on the big screen. I adore them both They are both such humble and good people. I love that they have been together for all these years. GOD BLESS them both.

can we have Conan talk about how his experience was on Hot Ones.. There's no way he was fine the next day 😂

[@FullTexanEffect]

I bet he was shooting flames out of both ends.

[@attackingflair]

Think he talked about it in an interview with Jake tapper shortly after that aired.

[@extrasuperpowr]

I want to see that as well. They probably filmed it like 6 months ago

[@Plantrums]

There was an interview on Paley Media’s YT account with him and Jake Tapper. Conan said some of the hot sauce got under his wedding ring, burning his finger

He'll only interview WOKE limousine liberal types.

[@Norvo82]

Excited for younger listeners of the podcast who just got their first experience with the glory that is Goldie Hawn. A true original who stands up for what she believes and is genuinely interested in being a force for good... And she's damn funny too. She steals The First Wives Club and that's hard to do when you're co starring with Bette Midler and Diane Keaton.

[@Runestuf999]

@marytenn378 He later clarified his feelings about her and it’s easy to understand why he initially said what he did. She was more personally involved in his life than his father and thus became more of a direct connection to the complex feelings that came with their separation, including his emotional disconnect with Bill.

[@jarrettc7215]

One of my favorite movies ever is overboard. So many great lines. Kurt and Goldie together….so good. It’s not us dad it’s Roy!

[@emu_warrior]

You can tell Conan has to deal with a lot of old people (maybe his parents) to support their story to correct small mistakes about tense/time as he did for Goldie but in a respectful way.

[@lynnmckenna9934]

Not sure what you mean- Goldie is so articulate- and she tells stories in a very clear way. How is Conan “dealing with” and “old person?”

As a Goldie Hawn fan back from the days of Private Benjamin and Seems Like Old Times and onward, I LOVED this episode. She is truly a gem, as an actor, but more importantly as a person. Her work on understanding and supporting the mental health of children is, by far, her biggest accomplishment. I only hope i will age with such grace and humanity.

[@DoccoM85]

The sound engineering is incredible. Adjusted the microphone (9:21) and not even the slightest change in quality, volume, etc. Wouldn't have ever known had I been listening and not watching the podcast.

[@RAIN-AGAIN]

Toying with sound a bit as a jazz composer; these SM7B microphones have a 50 to 20khz range there “ sweet spot “…typically comes in warm and…. a bit too dark . Goldie’s voice has softened “ and “ deepened over her 50 + year career. Her head tends to drift back as she engages in storytelling…… But…. Not only did Bley adjust her proximity errors ….but Eduardo bumped her up a couple decibels…..it did improve. However, If he overcorrects, he runs the risk of her “ self correcting “ and oops …. Feedback 👀 Bley dived in; total low key professional “no words”as not to insinuate anything ……. the adjustments were made. She’s a battle tested star…. when she settles in a bit more… her voice will loosen ……..and when the final piece airs soon……. They will be able to edit the lows out…hopefully 🫣 Conan pulls off the top shelf for us here……….. Legendary woman 🌹

@@DoccoM85 Well…… very sweet of you to say…..😇 I wrote that comment before falling to sleep. How nice to wake up to such positive adulation!! As a artist,composer, and inventor, …..I’ve developed a deep respect for sound and its relationship with “silence” over the decades. However an actual “ mastering engineer” could easily work circles around me….. lol ……. Sooooo workin my home studio…… I would say my gift lies in assembling melodies through arranging sounds; horns, strings, percussion,vocals ect. … in such a way ….. to invoke a emotional aesthetic conducive to the overall narrative or storyline. Yep….. when I’ve done all I can do writing, arranging and mixing a piece of music …… off it goes to the MASTERING ENGINEER …… and that’s where the “secret sauce” is applied.. lol ….. they live in a magical world of their own…. Lol Eduardo belongs to such a landscape….. A well respected, irreplaceable “niche”in the audiophile industry. Anyway….. thanks again for shining your light on others Docco.

I met Goldie in a brief encounter in the mid-1980's at One Life on Main Street in Ocean Park between Venice and Santa Monica. She was so sweet and beautiful and natural and I have had a sweet spot in my heart for Goldie ever since. The divine lady is natural and highly intelligent and favored by G-D. Goldie is a rarity in the HellyWeird industry. What added to this encounter is when I left One Life with my smoothie walking down Main St I encountered Paul Newman and Joann Woodward walking arm and arm and then Richard Crenna making a movie in one of the restaurants. Interesting day that was.

Wonderful & unexpected to see Goldie on the podcast. Grew up watching and loving her movies. Her & Kurt are timeless providers of entertainment.
