Do Conan O'Brien needs a friend?

I am your host, Conan O'Brien.

Although you can call me just Conan, you know, I'm getting very self conscious about the intros because I've been listening.

I never listened to a lot of other podcasts, and now I'm listening to other podcasts and they're a little more formal.

When they opened the show and I realized that I'm not.

And I think that's why I just started so formally, which is not my way.

Usually I don't think about it at all, and that's a better way to go.

I've noticed the first line you do.

You go formal right out of the gate and then immediately lose it.

The next line you speak, I was going to say I agree.

I think you start off very like Hello, This is Conan O'Brien needs a friend, Conan O'Brien.

It's like you have a voice that you do, and then you quickly snap out of it.

Yes, yes, because I I get this idea in my head.

I When I hear other people do podcasts, they start with this kind of authority, and I don't I feel like I shouldn't I don't have that.

I don't know.

Does that Does that make sense?

Yeah.

You go from, like seventies radio DJ debasement podcaster.

Well, because I I forget that I'm what it is we're doing at the beginning.

Matt, when you say okay, Conan, get us started.

You can go now.

321 It's very natural.

That's that's not a natural place to start from.

So I go Hello, and welcome to Conan O'Brien.

And I'm like, Welcome to PBS News Hour.

We'll be talking about the ancient Incas.

Did they really have their own calendar?

You know, and that we're not That's not us.

No, I know it's not us.

But when we start and I'm on my own for about I would say it only lasts about eight seconds, but that's what I do.

Then I realize I'm just with you knuckleheads and what are we doing?

And I really I remember my own absurdity as a human being, and then the next thing you know, we're just talking like this, and I'm saying Takeru and whatever whatever else but I realized just now I don't know why, but this is the first time I realized that I do get into my head when I do an introduction?

Sometimes.

Yeah.

You do it so formally that it makes me feel like Wait, Are we more important than I know?

I know.

Trust me.

We're not.

It goes away.

I just You know, I laugh every time.

Every time you have a serious voice, it makes me laugh.

Do you notice that, son and I share a look on the zoom every time checking in with each other going?

He's doing it again.

Hello and welcome.

Hello.

But so what?

You just be more like, Hey, they're going to Brian that kind of thing.

Well, that's That's a little too dismissive as you just be, you see?

No, it it's it's this is man.

This, uh, you can't get in your you can't get in your head, you know, you just can't get in your head.

And now what I've heard is that's too formal, and that's to informal.

Okay, Now I'm in my head even further than I was when we started, you know?

So nothing I do.

Let's try a couple of really right now.

A couple of just give me a couple just point to me and say, Go or action and I'll give you Let's do like three or four in a row and see if we can find it.

Sounds good.

321 go!

It's Conan O'Brien needs a friend.

I'm another one.

Quickly, quickly.

321 Go!

Have we got a show for you?

Quickly again?

91 go.

Hi, It's Conan.

You know me the same guy you've been chilling with since 1993.

That's pretty good.

That was pretty good.

I haven't changed.

Uh, still the guy you didn't like then and you grew slowly to like last year.

How about that?

That's not bad, but I think you should just open with a cock Karoo.

Welcome to Conan O'Brien.

There you go.

To Conan O'Brien.

Yeah.

I mean, that's the other thing, too, Is when we should have a morning zoo energy where you and Sonja are making a lot of noise.

And you have I'm like, All right, you guys, knuckleheads quiet down.

We got a lot of traffic on the 101 freeway.

And today we're talking to with sex therapist.

I'm looking through the glass right now.

She's brought nine dildos.

Whoa, I think we're getting a call right now.

It's It's bees, man.

Bees Man's out and he's bothering women on Ventura Boulevard.

What's up, bees, man?

Just balls with some ladies.

Yeah, peace, man.

Go, man, go.
