Conan Still Has Socks From His Late Night Career | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@emu_warrior]

Matt is so underrated, he's hilarious and knows when to chime in, a balance between not overtaking Conan but also making quips and contributing to the hilarity

[@krislane8400]

Have you seen him on Harmonquest? He backs up everyone this well, hilarious.

[@MegaHariboboy]

He is maybe 75% of why this podcast works so well. He's the straight man between Conan and Sona, when one of them is going off the rails, he chimes in to bring things back.

[@davidhurtado2725]

Said it before and I'll say it again: the biggest plot twist this podcast ever gave us is that Matthew Gourley is the friend who Conan was looking for all along.

[@burkles4456]

Jeez, way to ruin it by being cute.

[@titustiger27]

I had no problem with Andy.. but here is two co-hosts who don't let Conan off the hook

[@Trendyflute]

Matt Gourley would be a perfect friend for Conan but he lives 27 hours away out in the wilds of the -denas! Conan is a well-traveled man, but please, be reasonable!!

[@davidhurtado2725]

@@Trendyflute yeah, exchanging currency, learning the language, the jet lag.... It wasn't meant to be

[@Calicocutpants]

All he needs is Sona and Matt, someone to make laugh hysterically and calls him on his stuff, and Matt who plays a great foil and intellectual equal.

[@Lonelywookiee]

Gorley: "In my defense I was only half listening" 😂🤣

[@benzaiten933]

Sona taught him well!

[@robjgolde3221]

“Chillzone, that’s a good question.” “Is it?” “You know? It isn’t.” 🤣

[@cleverusername9369]

0:26 it's the juxtaposition of Sona's loud, extremely amused laughter, Gourley's bemused but excitedly anticipatory silence, and Conan's deeply unimpressed, almost contemptuous "... wow" that killed me.

[@nolimendoza4588]

There's just something lovely about Sona laughing.

[@dreamrestore213]

It is her job. 🤷‍♂️

[@WaitingtoHit]

@@dreamrestore213 It was lovely before it was her job, and it still is. When Conan was asked what he likes most about her, he said it's that she's always herself. There's not a disingenuous bone in her body. She was hired to be herself on the podcast, nothing less, nothing more.

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

You could've stopped after writing, "Sona."

[@joeygilbert3558]

@@IPlayOneOnT.V. Correct. Everything about Sona is lovely.

ikr! and its not annoying and actually genuine! So many Pod sidekicks do that LOUD background cackle that is just insufferable! Like Nadav on YMH.

[@benzaiten933]

"Begone, Harlot!" I love Matt so much!

[@poldivina]

sona always says she’s not that good on improv but at 8:12, I bursted laughing! 😆😆😆

[@psytron939]

Honestly cannot get enough of Conan, this podcast is a godsend, but also Sona is just amazing and she elevates the podcast to a higher level. Love the banter between them

[@yomamma359]

I would listen to the news if Conan did it in his classic reporter voice 😂 "Time for the news see!"

[@emu_warrior]

I could listen to all three talk trash for hours. So much better than the actual interviews.

[@alma14594]

Their banter is so good.

[@BearBorealis]

I was waiting for this clip! 8:08 Sona is the best! Never laughed so hard in public transport!😂

[@Ver0nica437]

The three of them together is comedy gold. I can’t get enough ❤

[@petecartwright5211]

You can't take for granted the incredible improve that pours from Conan at the drop of a hat. He hears everything, notices everything and then, jumps on all of it. He's right up there with Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters...

[@lucasoheyze4597]

Better than Robin Williams.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Conan's the most consistent late night streamer EVER

[@-UseSoap_]

Streamer... lol, what? Conan was never and still isn't a "streamer". There's gotta be some lost in translation thing going on here because he was late night _host_ for about 28 years and now predominantly just does this podcast.

[@gfox9295]

@@-UseSoap_ I think perhaps OP is making a joke and elevating Conan above people who stream on twitch and youtube? Which... ofc, as you said, he's had nearly 30 years of experience. ;D IOW, giving him a bit of a compliment at the expense of the much less famous (well, in most cases) online content creators we are surrounded by.

[@sidhackney8831]

God can you imagine a Conan twitch stream though? Live stream of Clueless Gamer??? Sona reading him chat and him telling everyone to leave him alone he doesn't care if he's doing it wrong???

[@gfox9295]

@@sidhackney8831 lol... that would be amazing. That said, I've seen other gamers who suck at a game and just keep at it and do the whole "I'm playing it my way, please stop telling me how to do it right" to chat over and over again and... it's just a neverending battle and becomes a bit boring. But maybe Conan could elevate even THAT to a higher form of art/entertainment. ;D

[@littlebumgorf]

i think Conan could go live on KZbin since his channel is big there. Just to test it out, make it look like an accident. “Is this thing on?” And then end the stream after 2 minutes. Just to test the analytics. No I’m not an aspiring comedy writer.

[@jirvine13]

Pistol Shrimps Basketball is a hidden gem. The fact that his girlfriend, now wife, is interviewed early and often is adorable. Colin Hanks shows up in the 3rd episode. It's just adorable all around.

Sona is such a good co-star and "foil" for Conan. She brings such a better vibe to this podcast than having a bunch of guys sit around while "b.s.-ing."

[@kennetho2499]

I love their chemistry. They're funny af too

[@TeemuSintonen]

Sona's belly laugh is one of the best! LMAO 😂

[@SubtractiveMoves]

I've been rollin my socks for 54 years and I never thought of the elastic. I'll have to reconsider. Thanks Sona!

[@ShrimplyPibblesJr]

“Actually, to save the elastic you can still fold the socks into each other but make sure to leave the elastic slack.” - Sona’s mom

[@nathanhorne9623]

Very cool to have a comedian/personality from back in the day so relevant and contemporary; "on the scene" if you will.

[@44yyBBaakk]

Conan and the team never dissapoint. amazing

Hearing Matt fall back into his Pistol Shrimp Radio days. my heart swells.

The Pistol Shrimps documentary is absolutely hilarious. Molly is a gem

[@lb5368]

Adam Driver's SNL wardrobe confirmed to be Conan hand-me-downs

[@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407]

I also lay one sock over the other and fold. It's how my Mom taught me. But with stockings, knee socks and tights, I would just roll them. I don't think the elastic would need preserving since I'm rough on sock toes anyway. They'd have holes before the elastic ever wear out.

[@0801Steve]

One day soon, I'm going to die listening to Conan's podcast because I have choked to death laughing so hard. Honestly, from time to time, I have to pause it to regain my composure.

The most important thing in life is to maintain innocense in this chaotic world. Thats why everyone loves Conan

Caller has a socks fetish. I have a coworker whose New Years resolution (a few years ago) was to wear a different pair of socks every day for a year. He had all kinds of novelty socks and patterns. He went over a year.

hearing my seventh favorite podcaster explain his sock situation has.. i wouldn’t say made my day.

[@benschneider4830]

The voicemail somehow is even funnier in the podcast than in this edited KZbin version. They edited out a bit of the voicemail, where he goes “just, like, I don’t know, what’s your sock game.” It’s somehow funnier with the part that got edited out.

[@jacobbentley9407]

So I have been watching Conan since I was like 7! When he got the tonight show It was the first pop culture event I actually remember. I have been a fan ever since.

"One floppy sock" that's the name of Conan"s Adult streaming service.

The "socks game" question is fantastic, this feels like it should be a standard in celebrity interviews! 😂

I want Conan, Sona and Matt to be the entertainment at my funeral.

[@MyAngrySanta]

Drawers! Who’s got time for drawers. I have two pillowcases attached to hangers, I keep a months worth of socks in them and then wash only socks in one load a month. This is logical in my universe.

This was a very funny 8 minutes and forty four seconds.

[@hanstubben]

You three are the best! Socks and Victorian eroticism in one podcast 🤣🤣🤣

[@nothanks9174]

Think Matt’s brain did that thing where it can’t decide between two words and it ends up mashing them together so instead of either “wang” or “weiner” you get “wanger”

[@DJDB-Music]

Boy, that sock topic turned into a "wangfest" pretty quickly and I'm all for it. I've thought that referring to it as "junk" was unimaginative, dull and uncouth. I myself much prefer the timeless "Tallywacker" or in a pinch, the "Dong!" (But please don't pinch) 😮

[@betsyduane3461]

Matt is wrong again. The saying “put your best foot forward” has been used since the the 15th century. To 'Put Your Best Foot Forward' originated when ladies looked for a well turned leg in men. First recorded in the second edition of Sir Thomas Overbury’s poem A Wife, circa 1613. Shakespeare used a ‘proper’ form of the expression in King John, 1595 : “Nay, but make haste; the better foot before.”

[@adaabeja2061]

I like to buy funny and pretty socks, but it is crazy when one pair costs $12... What is the most expensive sock you have seen and personally held in a store? I don't want to count seeing it online because you could sell anything on ebay for too much money.

[@jasonflay8818]

I would bet money Ben Marshal has worn a few vintage Conan suits at his time at SNL.

[@generaljellyroll8737]

My socks are so floppy now that the only way they fit is if I put both feet in 1 sock

Conan finally has glasses that fit him... At least better. He could still go for some frames that don't totally cover his eyebrows. I'm sorry for the rude comment in an earlier video about the black frames, but then again that clearly worked
