Matt Gourley Wasn’t Supposed To Be On The Podcast | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

A fan wondered if Conan’s podcast was following the classic “dick, dork, dear” format, but Conan thinks that the gang is actually “dick, dick, dick.”

But also, Gorley is the bridge between Conan and Sona. Cause he’s got the history and old timey knowledge that lets him pick up on a lot of Conan’s references. He also has some comedy and improve background, and the wealth of podcast experience. But he also is backup for Sona and has more pop culture knowledge. The three together are just fantastic. I love the intros and outtros just as much as the interviews. Summer s’mores, for example, is something I look forward to every year now. And I really hope the next one is at Conan’s house.

[@andrewestrem6526]

Facts

[@TheLegendofGumby]

This reads like it was written by AI lmao

[@brettsmith5062]

I hope the next Summer S'mores is at a shady zoo that gives Conan the chance to fight a pack of coyotes.

[@ladnil]

Gourley has been podcasting since before anybody invented the word podcast.

[@kcguy8864]

How tf do u misspell Gourley when its in the fkn title 🤦‍♂️

[@emu_warrior]

I love these three so much. Never stop.

[@mi5anthrope]

It tracks that one of the most wholesome clips is dominated by fart talk. It can't be an accident that - despite seemingly being background folks that rarely appear - the entire staff is somehow funny in their own way. I love these three and I love these other three and more

[@bernlin2000]

Conan Can't Stop!!!

[@florete2310]

Man, me too. But it's also the entire team they built over the years. It's also Bley, Eduardo, Adam, David - all the staffers and writers who are dropping in every once in a while. Love this podcast - and it's nice to watch that whole thing grow and bring joy and laughter to some many people. And then I have to say: That spin off with Ted Danson - also a very great addition. Ted is a superb interviewer🧡

[@whothehellknowsson]

If they stopped I would be devastated like never before.

[@sofiesummerbradley]

@@whothehellknowsson same for me. I only discovered Conan in 2016 thru internet because we did not have a TV growing up…and since then i have been a fan. He is the only celeb i am emotionally invested in. He must stay alive for the next 30 years or I would be devastated if he dies

[@EuanH91]

This is the reason I love this podcast. What started as just Conan, his assistant and a producer doing a podcast around celebrity interviews has turned into one of my favourite ever comedy trios. I love the interviews, but it’s the three of them together I tune in for.

[@FPAlpha]

What makes it also so entertaining is that they are not bound by broadcasting standards and customs so they can really let it rip and boy do they!

[@woodley91406]

If the guest is not interesting, I just listen to the intro and outro. That's how powerful these three are.

[@s1mplebeauty]

100%!!

[@Garrettdx1988]

If they ever decide to turn this show into 'Conan Doesn't Need Any More Friends', and it's just the whole podcast crew hanging out talking with no real direction, I wouldn't be upset

[@sofiesummerbradley]

This is a great idea! Hopefully Bley sees this comment and pitch it to Adam and Conan

[@michaelwai2092]

Honestly, I usually listen to the banter bit and quit when the guest comes on. Not too different from only watching Conan's monologues/desk bits. I also prioritize Needs a Fan over celebrity episodes.

[@jgrey8959]

Imagine a world where Matt Gourley is behind the scenes, and no one ever heard of F*ckman's Leap.

[@user-ud2fg5qf7w]

It would never come out.

[@Wabajak13]

you have a world of past gourley pods to experience, there's many a fuckman's leap

[@thegarborator83]

God I loved that episode. Japanese Breakfast, right?

[@ljavalera818]

fart noises and conan being genuinely nice to gourley this is a top 5 best segments lol

[@LiberArchivum]

"Gimme some beans.... I've got work to do." This season's Sona t-shirt

[@florete2310]

"Do all of us have a fart mic - or do we have one and pass it around?" "Okay, I'm calling it."😂😂😂

[@HelpRat1729]

Conan’s “JESUS!” quip at 8:29 killed me xD

[@donskuse2194]

I laughed out loud at that one. I live alone, so when I laugh out loud I count that as real comedy 😂.

[@mcfc6320]

What started as a heartwarming story

[@Mediaright]

Became a fartwarming one.

[@falxonPSN]

@@Mediaright You win.

[@extjmrq]

@@Mediaright bro won

[@TheRebellionStallion]

Cheers to Eduardo, we love you too! 🎉

[@HelpRat1729]

That tiny fart at 11:58 just killed me 😂😂😂

[@justgonzothegreat]

I won't be grieving too much if the celebrity interviews stop, but if the three chums stop doing these segments, I will be in tears.

[@pinverarity]

Conan has always been bad at interviewing. He only has two modes: cringe-inducing obsequiousness or flailing bit-forcing. Every so often he lucks out and gets somebody who can fall into a bit, but more than half the time it’s just hyperbolic flattery with no natural end. It’s always better when it’s just him and the Chums.

[@justgonzothegreat]

@@pinverarity there is a bit of truth in your comment although harshly put. I have grown slightly tired of Conan's "hyperbolic flattery" which excludes no one.

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

I've been listening to Matt on podcasts for over a decade. He was the PERFECT choice. They often briefly mention that he has some experience with podcasting, but don't go into great detail. He is hilarious. Is amazing at improv and doing characters and is the perfect foil for Conan.

[@amtreble]

Exactly, I've said this for years. Top tier hysterically funny improv guy with loads of things to go listen to, you just have to go look for them (or be in the Earwolf loop of the 2010s)

[@mirakimber6333]

I've discovered Matt through this and I'm obsessed

[@mcigloo]

I believe the Pistol Shrimps documentary is free here on KZbin. It's mainly about this rec league basketball league that Aubrey Plaza is a part of but Matt is featured heavily in it and it is hilarious. People who haven't seen it should definitely check it out.

[@tornadocatpicture]

0:39 Sona saying "obviously me" killed me

[@keeshiabrie]

she's not wrong!

[@Channel32Fishcam]

Classic deer comment

[@tornadocatpicture]

The tone of voice and just realization on her face was too good

[@stephanie.augusta.s]

Thank you for that easter egg

[@TimNoel2]

Conan describing their podcast trio "There was a can of paint on the side of the road, a car ran over it and SPLORCHED a bunch of paint onto a canvas" Conan saying the word splorched had me rolling 🤣

[@MichaelMcCarthy]

Really neat insights here. As a listener early on I remember being surprised how much Gourley was in the mix, but also really enjoyed it. Then coming back to the podcast over the last few months - seeing how integrated Gourley is has been great to see. Really fun dynamic between everyone on the show.

[@kaspartambur]

I find myself happy and laughing without effort while watching this show. And the key? Geniune friendly pickering of wholesome people.

[@sergioventura2595]

That god Gourley was included I wouldn’t have known so much pippy longstockings lore without him!

[@kragger99]

This is the proof that Conan is a comedic genius. He brings out the funny in everyone he surrounds himself with. You can tell by watching the podcast vids that Conan, Sona, and Matt know they have something special - they can feel it deep inside, and the viewers also see/feel that special thing. Keep up the great work team! Also, great work to all the people behind the scenes that also are needed to show us this special thing.

[@ruchikajadav928]

This podcast is truly amazing-I can’t get enough of it! I haven’t enjoyed a show this consistently for such an extended period of time.

[@brianguayartist]

I love the commercials! I laugh everytime Sona chimes in with single word responses 'Right!' 'Yeah!'

[@a5-30-31cts]

I hate to say it ('cause I've always hated commercials), but "Right" "Yeah" the commercials are fun now something I have anticipation for instead of normal dread. They now create a nice break in the action!

[@elishmuel1976]

It's like how Seinfeld wouldn't be Seinfeld without Jason Alexander and Julia-Louis Dreyfus. You guys are such a great team.

[@leoc1812]

The way they all broke at the end with the puny fart I DIED. I kept rewinding so I could watch each one of them react to it. 😂

[@carrielondon5535]

Love these goof balls so stinkin' much 🧡🤣🧡🤣

[@jonholbrook8821]

I thought i couldnt love this podcast any more than i already did.. they go and do this

[@shiryu22]

what a rollercoaster ride of genuine kindness and comedy chopdowns

[@Ashen-One1]

Man, I'm so happy Bley's here.

[@a5-30-31cts]

Yes!!! So Integral for all this to work. Even if he doesn't say anything his presence is vital to the dynamic. Gotta have the three of them (Bley, Edwardo and Adam).

[@davidb.1776]

11:57 Gourley is like, "Pull my finger" 😂

[@joshs8685]

I think they just naturally gravitated towards a well established formula that works because they have good instincts.

[@davidfountain6110]

Kind of what I was thinking. Less a deliberate attempt to follow a “template” and more of a natural result of what happens when you say, “let’s give an extremely talented late-night talk show host broad creative control over his own podcast.” Conan just has a knack for creating funny, entertaining conversations.

[@neverwin2518]

“I know comedy” - Sona (C) 2024

[@davranbekrozmetov9425]

Eduardo is the deer for sure. And you can see how much Conan admires him

[@1maryayala]

The dynamic trio is undoubtedly the secret sauce that makes this podcast the absolute best out there!

[@weeniehutjunior]

"Farts are always funny" -- truer words have never been spoken.

[@mestrinimaster3602]

Oh man, I went into tears in the last couple of minutes 😂

[@maggieholt6778]

People don't know that Matt Gourley is a podcast pioneer, and it shows.

[@outofabook]

Yeah he is one of the true O.G.s and he has a lot of experience in front of the mic. Some really awesome podcasts people should check out. But he also has done a lot of editing of podcasts that he wasn't a host for, so I can see why Gourley (and Conan) thought he was just being hired to do editing, and help produce the show to show Conan how's it done since Conan was green at podcasts.

[@showmethedamnvideos]

His first appearance as H.R. Giger on Comedy Bang Bang is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at a podcast!

[@lets.go.partying]

I laughed so hard at this in the audio version and came here to watch it again 😂

[@chuckolah4525]

Congratulations. LITERAL tears today. Y'all need to STOP before you end up literally making me DIE LAUGHING!

[@beckyleonardis6331]

Watching these 3 will never get old!

[@Ryan256]

I love the chemistry of this comedy trio! 🎭 💯

[@CashedoutLookingup]

I'm dying laughing here, love all these people!

[@SamKnause]

Excellent triangle up front. Excellent triangle off in the back. Together side splitting humor. Thank for the laughs !!!

[@florete2310]

Conan really took a second there. Literally. A second. I am LMAO😂

[@Gianma89]

I’ve listened to this segment twice on the podcast and watched it as soon as possible on KZbin.

[@Afghamistam]

You know you're still alive and invested in life when fart SFX still makes tears of laughter run down your face.

[@DavidAlvarado-js3qq]

Two days in a row I've laughed so hard, I have cleared out any straggling s'men

[@edkudray2060]

Dicdorks and fart mics what more could you ask for.....😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you guys and gals for staying together and putting together a pod cast. So much better than on a talk show. 😂😂😂❤

[@mattmays9063]

Life really is stranger than fiction-of course it had to end on a hilariously underwhelming fart. This crew just accidentally breathes out comedy gold, and we’re all here for it. The unscripted moments like these are what make Team Coco so uniquely brilliant!

[@PlayermakerBlue]

The way Sona points to Conan at 0.30 is too cute. Like a sister ratting out her brother when mom gets angry 🤣

[@yanniesays]

Ohmygosh! Now that Conan mentioned it, I gravitate towards this podcast so much because of the lack of sound effects. And it’s just “clean” and “crisp” sounding 😆

[@Jomarsu]

Big fan fron Brazil here, and my eyes go to tears when that orange banana says "I have Sona there " 😢😢😢

[@StewChicken42]

D1CK CUBED, BABY! 😂

[@wasgehtsiedasan8660]

This didn't happen to me for years: When the first fart noise came, I spat out my food laughing. Jesus Christ. That was unexpected.

[@apiemikey]

Sona and Conan are like, a comedy duo made in heaven . The natural funniness, Love Sona! Gourley too

[@keithwong2717]

the screenshot 'Fart' caught my attention.....

[@JosephM101]

4:38 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rods in a nuclear reactor are primarily used to stabilize the energy generation and keep the reactions in control. They don't cool the reactor per se; the reactors have dedicated cooling systems.

[@vshekar]

Matt is the best member of the three! Very glad he’s there.

[@72mossy]

I love Sona's contagious bubbly laugh

[@danielhoward2318]

Sona saying "GIVE ME THE FART MIC'!" like wrestler Scott Steiner is sending me lmao

[@chadhahn6113]

This is very timely. Earlier this week I was wondering the same thing.

[@joeyliu5419]

I’m crying 😂

[@bernlin2000]

Love you guys, this was delightfully personal 😅

[@1526andrews]

I love Conan

[@whitestoneandy797]

*"Obviously me"* Sona's not wrong 😂

[@TheRebellionStallion]

Just in case you're reading this: Hi Blay! We love you, too! 😜

[@Mimi-in-RealLife]

Definitely got a commercial for IBS meds directly following this video 😂

[@fforw]

Conan is just a bunch of sound effects and bits stacked on top of each other.

[@lisas5211]

Shout out to Adam for the magical trio he's brought us!! xoxox

[@HenryMulligan]

5:00 Jeff "Not the Roastmaster General" Ross should be his official title.

[@GulzatMatisakova]

I think we don't need guests 😂 just this trio & eduardo, blay & adam & david ❤

[@wendyp2922]

Love love love

[@MaxineShaw_84]

7:00 Before Conan went into detail, the image was so instant and vivid in my mind; the sound I made set off my neighbor's dog.

[@bwuh]

All I want for Christmas is to become friends with these people.

[@SongofIceandTea]

Gourley and Sona are essential for Conan to get inspired constantly

[@imnotpostincrap]

My wife walked in just as you guys were discussing the fart mic She just shook her head and walked away. Thanks Conan

[@RealBrokoli]

gorley surprisingly became my favourite from the podcast after a while

[@laurah1343]

Eduardo is to Conan as Ryan Howard is to Michael Scott

[@nwsimon]

I'm so glad he is

[@kristenfan0525]

The way “fart mic” and the title were put together, I thought the ep would be about Matt’s flatulence that day 😂😂 But seriously, these people together are just cosmic brilliance happening

[@Jordans529]

Wet corduroy ripping ?! 😂😂😂 how is he so fast with the quips

[@abhishekpratapnigam]

Never ever stop podcasting.

[@whyarewestillhere8767]

As soon as Conan looked at Sona and went "JESUS" I rolled

[@angelinerivas5884]

I play this whenever i need a laugh

[@patrick5729]

This is Conan being nice, hilarious.

[@allycat2836]

I remember when I first heard the podcast, I thought Gourley was a young hipster. That was until they started putting it here on KZbin. This podcast has brought me many laughs over the years. All 3 are hilarious to me. 😂😂

[@yetimaster1]

I find it subtly hilarious that Conan just happens to have a deer (buck) on his coffee mug in this. The irony.

[@JMPT]

Nice 🎙️

[@jlinblazin]

Gourles is the secret sauce of this pod

[@StewChicken42]

Eduardo, I'm lookin at you buddy! Step your fart game up! No way you can be the deer in this setup with that weak fartgame. 😏😁♥

[@brAckAttackGaming]

The last fart was perfectly timed. Short and sweet.

[@tapio_m6861]

It's interesting how the Conan experience on TV was all about self-deprecating humor, whereas Conan the podcaster finds humor in the polar opposite things.

[@62swampboy62]

That was an above average episode. Congratulations.

[@jorgecastrellon189]

Wet chordaroy ripping 😂😅😢

[@mjw9310]

Who needs guests with these three (six)?!

[@mikaelpetersson8647]

the best episod ever

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Howard Stern has always had the best fart noise on his radio show. Always funny to me.

[@Phillice]

How did we get here, from „wait, grownups had a conversation about Conan not having Buttons to push?“ 😂

[@68024]

This team is the luckiest group of people in terms of how they make a living

[@YachiAbunai]

"You don't have to be smart to laugh at farts, but you have to be stupid not to."

[@timparker5246]

I miss them when Sona & Mat aren't there[ they bring so much.

[@michaelnolan6054]

Gorley is the dilithium crystal between the matter antimatter of Conan and Sona
