Conan, that's right.
-
You just celebrated a birthday.
-
Happy birthday right here in captivity.
-
Well, we don't call it captivity.
-
We call it, uh, self quarantining.
-
Sure.
-
You know what I love?
-
Our awkward pauses are even more delicious in its format.
-
Do you feel like you are mentally prepared mentally in good shape for this quarantine that we're all in right now?
-
I think some people are better prepared than others.
-
Tell me, take, how are you in this situation?
-
You know, I obviously have not been through this ever before as we know it.
-
But I have, Um I don't know if you're aware, but I've had some medical issues over the years.
-
I have Where?
-
Yes.
-
Yes, I've actually been, I think, hospitalized six or seven times in the past seven years.
-
And when I'm feeling better, I work a lot of travel around, and many times during my healing processes and work, I thought I would love to be home with my family.
-
I would give anything to be home with my family, and, um, I wasthe looking at this as being quarantined.
-
And then about a week ago, it dawned on me that maybe I could shift things in my brain and just act like I chose this time off.
-
Right?
-
And it has helped me, and I know again, I've never been through this.
-
So maybe tomorrow there will be a, you know, murder suicide going on.
-
But I, uh, Stephanie and I give each other a couple hours a day alone, and that's very helpful.
-
That's key.
-
You have to have some separation because I know you're guys are a great couple.
-
You begin been together many years now.
-
What?
-
Eight years now?
-
Ah, seven.
-
I appreciate you keeping track of it, though.
-
I know it's all I think about.
-
Every morning we'll have a little abacus next to my bed and I slide to beat over.
-
And it's dedicated your relationship stuff.
-
Thank you.
-
So you've only slid the beat over seven times now?
-
Yeah.
-
You got ahead of yourself.
-
I gotta head It just felt like you guys were together.
-
Eight seemed like a rag.
-
Seven beings.
-
But yeah, that's the thing is that a lot of couples right now are going through a tough time because they're in close quarters.
-
Um, that's why I do everything I can to just go into another room.
-
I can tell when my wife has had it with me.
-
They think it important Thio not wait until you're driving each other insane and take the two.
-
Just take two hours.
-
Yes.
-
The two hours really, really, really is making such a difference.
-
And then we miss each other, and we're not.
-
We were spending four hours apart a day.
-
Essentially, it's awake, and I we've switched that around, which is we're only decided to only be together for one hour and speed separate the rest of the time.
-
And my wife has never are.
-
No.
-
She's delighted, she says.
-
This is the just the exact amount of Conan that anyone should have enough gnome or so Do your kids find you amusing?
-
I mean, I can entertain them about 10% of the time, and I'm 90% of the time.
-
It's contempt and loathing.
-
I just think it's a fine mix you want, but I think, you know, with certain audiences, that's what I I've gotten us well for years.
-
Some people don't recognize what I do is comedy, right?
-
Right.
-
Sometimes it helps just to tell them.
-
By the way, this is comedy.
-
Yeah, well, I have Somebody announced that before each someone says, Oh, and by the way, what you're about to experience is comedy, Right?
-
Um, if anyone starts to get up to leave in a huff, we, uh, have somebody come over the loudspeaker to let people know.
-
Don't worry.
