Conan Learns About “Brand Safety Analysis" | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@Lonelywookiee]

You guys being authentic IS the reason for your continued growth. Dont try and fix something that isnt broken

[@shevek2954]

I for one can do with more violation of human rights.

[@oliverliken666]

Correct. I need less insightful conversations. And more silly sideways ones. Not even kidding. I crave it. Always love these intros before the guest comes in. Then it usually seems downhill.

[@Lonelywookiee]

@@shevek2954 dude Conans the best.

[@wickedeye00]

Yes! So True! No gimmicks, it's just our love of them being themselves that makes this the number 1 pod !

[@donsimpsonshead8809]

I would add more visuals to your podcast, because every podcast listener loves pretty pictures.

[@roccodelgreco]

I love how Conan’s team made an internal team meeting an actual podcast episode lol

[@AmitDebnath09]

11:54 "But pee-pee and poo-poo is who we are!", Sona pleaded as a prime example of her authentic humanity and to remind Conan of what the true fans really want. So please do not change, please do not edit yourselves to become brand friendly, please continue being the outrageous, silly, foul-mouthed, witty and REAL versions of yourselves that we know and love!

[@perkasch5488]

U said it perfectly

[@tamatama127]

Speaking of pee-pee, in the recent urologist fan episode, sona kept saying pee-pee. Then Conan was like "Sona we are all adults here, so let's refer to it as wee-wee" xD Then the Urologist proceeds to use wee-wee when explaining something.

[@LexingtonB09]

Yes that’s what they have BIDET advertisers 🚽 😂 and it’s all the better for it!

[@brenobacci]

I could use more drugs. What podcast? What we're talking about?

[@obuyWw]

dude am crying

[@Eskay_The_Evil_Genius]

Conan is the only celebrity I invest in emotionally. I have a great respect for him and am so glad to see how he continues to grow and became his own brand. Something leno could never hope to do as a crap human being. I been with his on camera work since 93 and will continue to be. Kick the tires all you want Conan, the psi is solid.

[@habracken8004]

Leno was on the Kennedy Center Honors for Billy Crystal and he seemed like an old sad guy-not like Dave or Conan who have continued to thrive since leaving tv. It was kind of shocking.

[@stillis2489]

"kick all the tires you want; the psi is solid" such an interesting saying i'm stealing that

[@CaptainNamikaze]

Sona laughing with abandon at her own joke made my day. I couldn’t stop laughing alongside her. 😂

[@RabidIrishGuy88]

Gorley adding "we're having sex with the other army" just killed me. Man I love these guys.

[@kristiannelson1851]

The minds of brand and marketing people never fail to frustrate the hell out of me. "We're growing, moving forward, and continuing to increase our audience by what we're doing." "But we need to change." 🤦‍♂

[@Tonyhouse1168]

That’s how restaurants work now too. Management company buys the brand, sees that it’s popular and profitable, takes the advice of executives who’ve never worked in food service or guest relations, and completely effs everything up.

[@poupdujour]

Sona always keeps Conan in check 😂 definitely why they work so well together

[@temirlanU]

At 05:48 Sona immediately protecting Conan when they start discussing brand safety is so sweet! This AI analysis of podcasts is so menace. It just counts an amount of words, without any context!

[@mooperi]

a prime example of how to NOT use ai :b

[@vincentleung3551]

You guys are the best, this is by far one of the funniest eps I've heard. Please don't change, being yourself is one of the most wonderful things that fans like me love. This is one of the reasons why Conan has always been hallmarked as one of the greatest talkshow host ever. Love you guys.

[@stevenvia2452]

I love Sona's laugh.... very infectious

[@wayne_paulo]

You guys bring so much joy to my days, my only complain was about the Conan Must Go series and the delay of the episodes to arrive on Latin America. With that say, i have only gratitude to show for you. ❤

[@Intabih]

5:50 I love how long Sona laughed at her own joke. xD

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

It was funny. They were being so glibly inobvious to the fact that Conan WAS in the industry for 20 years.

[@stephaniecollins6052]

Adam so seriously saying "I don't know" to cockaroo

[@CharlieHillerman]

Absolutely the funniest way to wake up this morning... 👏

[@Baqota]

In my house, it’s at the point where if I’m wearing headphones, looking at my phone, and LAUGHING, my husband doesn’t bother anymore to ask me what it is I am watching. It’s happened enough that he just knows to assume I’m watching a KZbin clip from this podcast.

[@hyperspeed_心猿]

The huge independent success for Conan is karma due for how the scumbags at NBC treated him with the Tonight Show. You're a great man, Conan. Talented and funny. All success is due.

[@christinah864]

It’s cause they’re real and relatable and hilarious. The only reason I even have the podcast app is them.

[@tuomassaarinen]

This show is so close to perfect that it is unbelievable

[@christopherbeattie3126]

I have an earbud in my ear at work most of the day and this show is playing 90% of the time

[@waderowland9758]

I've been watching for years. Just noticed I haven't yet subscribed. Remedied.

[@doogsiekomstop]

I am sad to admit I only got into this podcast when the Always Sunny Podcast had to go on hiatius because of the strikes. But man, Conan quickly became my favorite to listen to again just like when I was younger, and his late night show was the only one that I connected with.

[@bigal7561]

Without the BS and doe eyes you get with having cancer (and hate)...Ha....I found your pod cast when I was stuck in a hospital for about 5 months after cancer surgery. No big but I'm just setting up the comment. I had zero to do except lay on the side where they didn't cut up to take the lung out (not pretty as my but was always showing....), and found your pod cast. I was always a fan of your show but this was great. I got a chance to catch up on a few and honestly, with concert grade meds, I was laughing my ass off. With a lot of drool but I'd laugh so hard my monitors would get the nurses running. Then I got them watching too. Anyway, turns out your just as funny without the meds. Ha. Love your team and Sona is a gem. I know you'll never see this but it makes me feel better to give credit where it's due so thanks.

[@Rachel-sv9pq]

I didn't even know this podcast existed until a couple of weeks ago. YT recommended an episode and I clicked and now the algorithm has me watching it constantly.

[@TriglycerideBeware]

The Steven Wright episode this year was the first one I saw, but now I watch all of them

[@aazaasaa]

I think it could be very funny to see a reaction of them to early episodes. They were so awkward 😂

[@natnaelarwaga6100]

Gourley is slowly morphing into Conan.

Happy late birthday day Conan 🎉 you are an amazing comedian always cheers me up on a bad day thank you teamcoco

[@ChadBlanchard23]

Love you just the way you are.

[@BrianShumaker-l7f]

5 years of good experience. We love laugh and appreciate all of yall. Even matt

[@perseus9428]

Keep up the good work, Conester !

[@Tonyhouse1168]

After the other day’s vid, I went down a Brian Kiley rabbit hole. It was so funny to see his regular appearances..until I got to Dry Bar comedy videos and the comments were all about how refreshing it was to see a clean comic. People are so delusional and weird. Anyway, love you Coco and the Chill Chums. Happy end of 2023 everyone!

[@DarylVHorn]

How funny is this “Brand Safety Analysis" coming just after Conan, as "Blue Brian Kiley", telling the filthiest joke ever.

[@RobCabreraCh]

I feel like the hardest laughs I've had are when they are really banging on something slightly obscene. Like when they were discussing their crushes or when they were discussing the snopes check they had

[@miguelvelez7221]

Joseph Gerbils would be a character on a Conan produced Adult Swim show.

[@shevek2954]

A major season plotline would be his getting over his Richard Gere trauma. Turns out his girlfriend broke up with while they were watching Pretty Women. He calls it his Richard Gere trauma and is oblivious to what other people think that means. Edit: he's also completely oblivious to why his name is problematic.

[@Hennelina]

To be honest, I'd want to avoid brands that avoid Team Coco. To want to sponsor them is already one point for the brand in my books. Been a fan of Conan's for somewhat 20 years and he's one of my role models on how to conduct yourself as a human being. Which does worry me.

[@ODUBlue]

Oh god please let there be a children’s book on the merch site called ‘Talk of Gerbils’ this holiday season. 🙏🏻😂 I’d buy several copies.

[@rodaxel7165]

Yes this pod is brand friendly.

[@aashishvenkatesh9657]

Podcast editing is different from video editing. Some small parts are removed in the video

[@lance134679]

"Brand Safety Analysis" is like the opposite of irreverent comedy if you let it censor you. You might gain some advertisers, but you'd lose much of the audience.

[@jenkem4464]

You're trending up by being yourselves. Don't change that!

[@abigchair]

But is the show bidet advertiser friendly?

[@Metjammer]

Conan's look at Sona after her implicite remark about his age at 5:54 says murder. 😂😂 That ain't the first remark of that kind either. Coco gets it hard today... 🤣🤣😂

[@MrAdamAdam83]

Nooo, don’t be censoring, or self-censoring yourselves. Your pivoting from mucky jokes, to inane chat, to profound and hilarious convos is what makes the podcast what it is.

[@patrickb2862]

Stay the same forget this guy. Its a relief to hear you conan talk less edited than you were those 28 years..

[@lisas5211]

Don't change anything. U no need to go branch friendly. The way the podcast is doing is the reason for growth.

There was talk of gerbils!

[@Jazz41173]

Any day, Adam joins the table. It was a good day. 😍

[@Mr2greys]

@9:31 my takeaway is that KZbin is way too sensitive about it

[@dec1ple135]

Damn I feared this day would eventually come when brand safety became an actual discussion topic. I just hope they don't take it too seriously and change what is clearly working.

Conan's glasses are so thick, they look like stylized safety glasses. It's important to foster a safe working environment when monitoring hazardous material eg "Brand Safety Analysis".

[@generaljellyroll8737]

I put my head down for 2 seconds to read a headline and when I come back I have no idea what is going on. “Like a child that wonders in half through a movie you have no frame of reference, Donnie”

[@bangormc3rd562]

I've been saying for YEARS that they need more human rights violations. As the old saying about podcasts goes: "If they ain't called to the Hague, avoid like the plague"

[@RicMorton]

FYI Disney is one of your advertisers on KZbin.

[@vkogan1990]

Adam is dead wrong. The audience should be number one. If you censor yourselves you will lose your audience and the advertisers will leave as well.

[@ryanandring2688]

Idk if I’d call Conan authentic. He’s very upfront about his need to be liked and how he so desires attention and approval. He comes off incredibly in-authentic at times but in my opinion he’s a pretty enjoyable interviewer and he’s carried a ton by his supporting cast that he always tries to undermine. I don’t love that. Same for the fact you blatantly just confessed to wanting to bend to more advertisers that really makes me feel like this is an honest, genuine podcast. Congrats on the growth! :)
