00:00:01.149 --> 00:00:01.970
How was school, Pat?
2
00:00:02.470 --> 00:00:05.330
We were learning all about France and Joan of Arc
3
00:00:05.629 --> 00:00:07.549
and the Eiffel Tower and how they speak.
4
00:00:07.849 --> 00:00:08.810
Bonjour, Mama!
5
00:00:09.609 --> 00:00:12.880
We all know how important school is for children's learning,
6
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.140
friendships and overall development. But one in five children are
7
00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:19.559
missing a month or more of their school year. And
8
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.980
when they miss school, they miss out. Every school day.
9
00:00:22.940 --> 00:00:23.579
Is a new day.

Visit gov.ie forward slash school attendance. An initiative of the
11
00:00:27.829 --> 00:00:28.609
Government of Ireland.
12
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.090
Golly, hi, my name is Jeff Goldblum. And I feel
13
00:00:39.229 --> 00:00:44.570
blank about being Conan O'Brien's friend. Well, I feel, let
14
00:00:44.590 --> 00:00:47.670
me be truthful, and I feel, well, to the extent
15
00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:49.670
that we're friends, and I feel we have a deep connection,
16
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.460
but I wish we'd spend more time together. I'm available
17
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:58.100
for your friendship, however time-consuming or any aspect of it.
18
00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:00.079
We've been friends in the sense that we have, in
19
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.700
the way that we have on these shows and seeing
20
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.840
each other here and there. You've, of course, I've enrolled
21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.200
you and I finagled you into being part of that show,
22
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.180
that little movie that I did. And you were so
23
00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:14.379
sweet to do that. And then what else? Oh, we
24
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.480
did it. We did it. We were there at some
25
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.799
voiceover we were doing. It was one of your things. Yes, yes, yes. So,
26
00:01:19.859 --> 00:01:22.200
and then I think we, did I have a date
27
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.700
with you or just ran into you at the Soho house?
28
00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:30.909
That was lovely. And I've always said, and we've exchanged information,
29
00:01:31.349 --> 00:01:33.730
but we've never availed ourselves of it. I've always said, yes,
30
00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:37.069
let's come over to my house and let's do many things.
31
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:41.370
I do all manner of things. So I love being
32
00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:45.810
your friend, however it does or doesn't pan out. But
33
00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:49.150
I tell you again, I'm available for the deepest, closest,
34
00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:54.379
and most time-consuming kind of friendship. Jeff, everyone else has
35
00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:55.319
answered with one word.
36
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.810
Fall is here, hear the yell.
37
00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:03.329
Back to school, ring the bell.
38
00:02:03.730 --> 00:02:05.890
Brand new shoes, walkin' loose.
39
00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:08.409
Climb the fence, books and pens.
40
00:02:08.870 --> 00:02:11.810
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
41
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:15.270
Yes, I can tell that.
42
00:02:15.009 --> 00:02:16.969
We are gonna be friends.
43
00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.159
Hey, you're listening to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, a
44
00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:26.280
podcast that I have invented for the sole purpose of
45
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:30.289
forcing people to be friends with me. And so far,
46
00:02:30.310 --> 00:02:32.039
it's kind of working. That's what I like about it.
47
00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:35.979
And also, I've thoroughly enjoyed talking to everyone that I've
48
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.479
had a chance to interview so far. But I will
49
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.939
say this, I believe deep down in my heart that
50
00:02:41.979 --> 00:02:46.319
the podcast was probably invented so that I could talk
51
00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:50.430
with Mr. Jeff Goldblum in an intimate forum. He is,
52
00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:54.270
of all the people I've interviewed in 25 years in television,
53
00:02:55.210 --> 00:03:01.180
he has the most unique, style, way of expressing himself, mannerisms.
54
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:04.620
And I've thought I've got to get him into a
55
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.590
very small podcast room and just let the sensuality bounce
56
00:03:09.250 --> 00:03:13.770
off the walls. Here to keep things from getting too
57
00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:17.710
out of hand are my minders, Matt Gorley.
58
00:03:17.750 --> 00:03:19.090
Matt. Hi.
59
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.080
Matt, you're like, it's like I'm going to a Catholic
60
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.460
school and you're a woman who's A 55-year-old matron who's
61
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.120
watching me dance. And if I get too close to
62
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.259
Jeff Goldblum, you're going to thwap me with a ruler.
63
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.610
Yeah, I may just.
64
00:03:34.729 --> 00:03:36.849
But I'm kind of into it, though, too.
65
00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:38.810
Yeah, he's that kind of guy. You know what I'm
66
00:03:38.830 --> 00:03:39.189
talking about.
67
00:03:39.710 --> 00:03:40.050
Sona?
68
00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:40.650
Yes.
69
00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:44.430
Jeff Goldblum, you've got to admit, he is a delight.
70
00:03:44.729 --> 00:03:45.810
A delight.
71
00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:46.370
Yes.
72
00:03:46.669 --> 00:03:47.430
I'm in.
73
00:03:47.990 --> 00:03:48.780
Well, no, no, this is.
74
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:50.840
I am on board.
75
00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:51.560
This is my date.
76
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:52.539
So anyway.
77
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:53.080
What?
78
00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:54.139
Wait, what?
79
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.800
You guys are just here to watch for a little bit.
80
00:03:56.590 --> 00:03:58.289
And then we'll all take a break and Jeff Goldblum

81
00:03:58.449 --> 00:04:00.250
and I will go get some tapas.
82
00:04:00.949 --> 00:04:02.370
You think this is a date?
83
00:04:02.849 --> 00:04:03.849
In my mind, I do.
84
00:04:04.610 --> 00:04:07.069
My wife understands. Or she will when I tell her.
85
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.939
Ladies and gentlemen, Jeff Goldblum.
86
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:18.939
Well, they didn't tell me that was the thing.
87
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:19.759
Let me see. No, no, no, no.
88
00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:22.519
That's good. That's good what you did. Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
89
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.600
that is so you. Ecstatic about it. You just went
90
00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:25.879
on a jazz riff.
91
00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:25.990
Yeah.
92
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:26.370
It was lovely.
93
00:04:26.629 --> 00:04:28.569
Thank you very much. That was lovely.
94
00:04:28.589 --> 00:04:32.290
I don't believe that you are available for any amount
95
00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:33.769
of time. You have two young children.
96
00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.819
Yes, that's true. So when you say, I don't care
97
00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:39.779
how time-consuming. Well, at some point, I might say, Conan,
98
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.810
you know how many times you've called me today, and no,
99
00:04:42.889 --> 00:04:44.990
I wish I could. I'm just putting the kids to bed.
100
00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:47.970
I don't imagine that'll happen, though. But in between that
101
00:04:48.089 --> 00:04:52.360
and now, feel free to call on me for any
102
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.319
old thing. If you'd said yesterday... You know, I watched
103
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.699
the Super Bowl yesterday kind of by myself. Oh, is
104
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.540
that true? Well, the kids were there and my wife
105
00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.860
and then a couple of her friends came over, but
106
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.319
that was about it. That's called being with your family.
107
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.199
That's not by yourself. Well, that's true. That's true. And
108
00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:06.980
a couple of other people, but it wasn't like a party.
109
00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:09.790
So it was almost a party, but not a party. Boy,
110
00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:11.870
you would have been, I would have served you any
111
00:05:11.910 --> 00:05:14.649
kind of chips you wanted if you would have come over.
112
00:05:15.089 --> 00:05:17.970
and like to heard your play-by-play. It was a dreary affair, really.
113
00:05:18.209 --> 00:05:21.310
The kids lost interest early on, were running around like maniacs,
114
00:05:21.329 --> 00:05:23.829
and then just kind of collapsing. And the other people,
115
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.420
I don't know, were not so interested in it. I
116
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.360
was watching it, and it was a dreary few hours.
117
00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:33.060
I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and I didn't want the
118
00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:36.300
Patriots to win. Sorry, sorry to all
your listeners who
119
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.899
might feel otherwise. Anyway, I was just kind of dreary,
120
00:05:41.139 --> 00:05:42.920
weary about the whole thing. But if you'd been there,
121
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.829
is my point, oh boy. Well, see, this is the thing.
122
00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:50.100
Jeff, you and I do have a connection, which is
123
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.120
when you come on my show over the years, and
124
00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:54.339
this is the reason I really want to go on
125
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.519
the podcast. I have a connection with you that's unlike
126
00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:01.870
my connection with anyone else. I don't often understand it,
127
00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:08.120
but you are a feline. You purr almost. Yes, exactly.
128
00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:12.439
And you come out, we're both very tall. Same height, exactly.
129
00:06:12.610 --> 00:06:14.069
I think we are the same height. Eye to eye.
130
00:06:14.129 --> 00:06:14.879
We see eye to eye.
131
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:15.540
Yes.
132
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.199
Oh, very good.
133
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.829
And you come out and we start this mind meld.
134
00:06:21.470 --> 00:06:26.129
And I often, often when our interview's over, I don't
135
00:06:26.170 --> 00:06:27.930
know what it is we've said. I don't know if
136
00:06:27.949 --> 00:06:31.129
we've said anything of consequence, but people always say, oh
137
00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:33.540
my God, that was entertaining. But I often don't know
138
00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:36.399
what happened. Do you know what's happening when you come out?
139
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.720
No, just now when I, we just finished another episode.
140
00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:41.720
I enjoyed it very much. But yeah, when I came back,
141
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.199
I went, geez, what did I What did we talk about?
142
00:06:44.220 --> 00:06:47.079
I said that out loud, I think. I said, what
143
00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:49.019
did we say? You started at one point. Because it
144
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:49.939
was all uncharted.
145
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:50.279
Yes.
146
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.730
At one point, you pointed at my shoes, and you
147
00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:58.290
just started talking about shoes. And you kept making those
148
00:06:58.310 --> 00:07:00.209
little noises the way you do it.
149
00:07:00.709 --> 00:07:02.509
I called them micro-orgasms.
150
00:07:02.850 --> 00:07:03.250
Yeah.
151
00:07:03.310 --> 00:07:04.750
And then on the show, you said something like that.
152
00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:06.240
And I said, not so micro.
153
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.480
Oh, really?
154
00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:14.170
They're all overwhelmingly powerful. Oh, they are. Oh, they sure are.
155
00:07:14.449 --> 00:07:15.949
You know, that's the thing I want to talk about.
156
00:07:15.970 --> 00:07:18.810
Like a skipping stone. Remember the old Andy Griffith opening?
157
00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:21.730
And they'd skip those. It's like a. Skip a stone
158
00:07:21.769 --> 00:07:24.439
on the pond. Multiple, yes, ecstasies just skipping along the
159
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:25.639
surface of the water.
160
00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:29.220
Okay, you're hearing the description of Jeff Goldblum describing his orgasms,
161
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.939
multiple orgasms that fragment, that fragment and skip and hop,
162
00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:36.350
and one orgasm exploding into another.
163
00:07:36.490 --> 00:07:39.550
Exactly so. Hey, somebody said, is this true, that your
164
00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:43.509
orgasm resembles the way you sneeze?
165
00:07:43.529 --> 00:07:43.600
Yes.
166
00:07:44.449 --> 00:07:47.350
And I'm one of those multiple sneezers, speaking of which.
167
00:07:47.430 --> 00:07:51.699
I'm a serial achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo. How many was that?
168
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:52.060
Nine.
169
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.519
It sounds frightening for your partner.
170
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.839
You know, it really does. It sounds like they don't
171
00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:57.639
know what's happening.
172
00:07:57.660 --> 00:07:58.480
That would be frightening.
173
00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:00.600
It would be, when is this quake over, you know?
174
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:08.240
Maybe so. Many aftershocks, too. Those are the– Let's catch
175
00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:11.000
you by surprise, too. You can't. Will you attest, Matt
176
00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:15.019
Gourley and Sona, that he is moving? He is writhing.
177
00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:17.279
Jeff, as he's talking, you can't see this because it's
178
00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:21.250
a podcast, but he's undulating slowly from side to side
179
00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:22.500
like a cobra.
180
00:08:22.850 --> 00:08:26.389
As we were talking, involuntarily, I started to rotate my crops.
181
00:08:26.709 --> 00:08:29.029
I've never seen anyone gyrate vertically.
182
00:08:29.310 --> 00:08:29.569
Yes.
183
00:08:29.949 --> 00:08:30.029
Yes.
184
00:08:30.069 --> 00:08:34.809
Rotate my crops. That's right.
185
00:08:34.850 --> 00:08:35.929
He's still doing it.
186
00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:43.720
My field never goes fallow. Oh, God. Always changing the seed. Wait,
187
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.200
now you're creepy. Oh, my God, I love it.
188
00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:50.360
I just, because I understand, okay, I'm gonna take you
189
00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:52.909
through my history of Jeff Goldblum. When I was a kid,
190
00:08:52.929 --> 00:08:57.850
and I love television, this show came on TV, and
191
00:08:57.870 --> 00:08:59.750
I've mentioned this to Jeff before, but this show came
192
00:08:59.809 --> 00:09:03.360
on television in, that was much better than any show
193
00:09:03.419 --> 00:09:07.169
I had seen on TV. It was called Ten Speed
194
00:09:07.210 --> 00:09:11.350
and Brown Shoe, and it was starring a brand new
195
00:09:11.509 --> 00:09:16.309
actor I'd never seen before, Jeff Goldblum, and
alongside.
196
00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:17.700
With Ben Vereen. Ben Vereen, of course.
197
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.720
And it was a great show, and you were fantastic,
198
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.169
and I was, I don't know how old I was.
199
00:09:24.190 --> 00:09:26.610
Was I 16? Was I 17? I don't know. It
200
00:09:26.629 --> 00:09:28.149
was 1980, I think.
201
00:09:28.149 --> 00:09:32.500
1980, I would have been 16, 17 years old when
202
00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:35.860
that came out. And I was blown away by the
203
00:09:35.899 --> 00:09:37.879
show and by this guy, Jeff Goldblum. I just thought
204
00:09:37.899 --> 00:09:42.620
he's hilarious. And sure enough, he starts showing up in
205
00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:46.309
movies and then you made the fly. And I thought
206
00:09:46.629 --> 00:09:52.389
this movie is scary But this, the guy playing Brundle.
207
00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:53.100
Seth Brundle.
208
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:57.120
Seth Brundle is, I believe he's real and I really
209
00:09:57.210 --> 00:10:00.980
like him and he's funny and he's, but he's.
210
00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:02.659
Frightening.
211
00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:05.960
The transformation into someone frightening is real. And I had
212
00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:07.019
a lot of empathy and I thought this is one
213
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.840
of the best horror movies I've seen. When that movie
214
00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:12.899
came out, I thought this is one of the best
215
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.679
horror movies they've made in the last 20 years. And
216
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.759
I thought it was really you. I really just believe,
217
00:10:19.090 --> 00:10:23.580
you know, yes, great cast and direction and script, but
218
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.700
I really thought that was you. And I just, I
219
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.519
love you in things. And I'm saying that because I
220
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.799
have noticed that when you show up in Thor Ragnarok,
221
00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:33.509
you steal the show.
222
00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:35.750
You just, it's a delight.
223
00:10:36.470 --> 00:10:41.730
When your character, when you showed up in the first
224
00:10:42.149 --> 00:10:44.720
Jurassic Park, just delightful.
225
00:10:44.750 --> 00:10:45.009
Thank you.
226
00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:52.309
Over and over and over again, you've managed to get
227
00:10:53.210 --> 00:10:55.490
this part of yourself out there on the screen because
228
00:10:55.509 --> 00:10:57.070
you are, it is.
229
00:10:57.029 --> 00:10:59.649
A part of you. You are an imp. You're impish.
230
00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:01.830
You know, you're impish. You're very.
231
00:11:03.190 --> 00:11:06.019
For Jurassic 2, when I did the second Jurassic movie,
232
00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:08.679
I read a review and somebody said, yes, Mr. Goldblum,
233
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.080
this looks like a giant gnome.
234
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.230
You shouldn't read those things. Even when they compliment
you,
235
00:11:16.309 --> 00:11:17.950
it's never good. Sona, do I read things?
236
00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:19.129
Never reads anything.
237
00:11:19.190 --> 00:11:22.370
If someone writes an incredibly nice thing about me, everyone says,
238
00:11:22.669 --> 00:11:25.990
we've scanned it 35 times. It's only nice and it's superlatives.
239
00:11:26.049 --> 00:11:27.629
I'm like, okay, just put that in a drawer and
240
00:11:27.669 --> 00:11:28.789
I'll read that later.
241
00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:32.090
I know what you mean. I'm highly sensitive too. That's right.
242
00:11:32.769 --> 00:11:36.049
You get inoculated these days because there's so much opinionating
243
00:11:36.210 --> 00:11:39.059
going on. And so people must be saying horrible things
244
00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:41.620
all the time. And so you go, oh, okay. I'm
245
00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:43.629
not going to read below. I'm not going to read it.
246
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.009
Don't read comments on the internet.
247
00:11:45.029 --> 00:11:45.289
Yeah.
248
00:11:45.350 --> 00:11:47.549
So you can avoid. You start to learn how to
249
00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:51.110
avoid things. Do you– Although a producer– I did a
250
00:11:51.149 --> 00:11:55.460
play once and I got bad reviews. Which play? Should
251
00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:56.840
I say? Because I'm going to go on to tell
252
00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:57.200
a story.
253
00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:57.840
Oh, boy.
254
00:11:57.860 --> 00:12:00.039
You're going to do it. It's still a wound. It's
255
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.639
still an open wound. Is it a play I would
256
00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:05.299
have seen you in? Man. maybe I'll, I may reveal
257
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:06.539
it at the end of this story. See if you
258
00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:08.720
think I can, or I'm going to break, have a
259
00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:11.460
breakdown if I do, but, uh, the reviews were poor
260
00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:16.289
for me, poor, poor, bad, bad, bad reviews. And then
261
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:24.009
the producer of the theater company, famous producer said, okay,
262
00:12:24.029 --> 00:12:26.750
come on in to cheer me up. I think the
263
00:12:26.809 --> 00:12:29.470
day or two after it opened and said, uh, You know,
264
00:12:29.950 --> 00:12:32.909
you're a wonderful actor, and this is what I appreciate
265
00:12:33.330 --> 00:12:36.610
about you. And I read something. I heard it was good.
266
00:12:37.110 --> 00:12:38.470
I heard we got a good review because they were
267
00:12:38.490 --> 00:12:41.149
generally bad for the whole show, the whole production. I
268
00:12:41.190 --> 00:12:45.370
heard we got a good review. So my assistant lady,
269
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.120
my sona or something, bring that review in, and I'm
270
00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:51.480
going to read it to Jeff. He needs something to
271
00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:54.059
cheer him up. And he started to read it. He
272
00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:56.419
hadn't read it before, and it said, well, this was good.
273
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.169
In contrast to what other people say, this is a
274
00:12:59.210 --> 00:13:00.360
show is fine and dandy.
275
00:13:00.389 --> 00:13:01.080
It's good.
276
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.100
Except for Mr. Goldblum, an actor I used to admire.
277
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.200
He goes, Oh, nevermind. Nevermind. And then he went to
278
00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:11.220
all that trouble. He went to all that trouble. Didn't
279
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.029
realize it was going to be another blow and said, well,
280
00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:16.590
and then ended the interview too shortly after he said, well,
281
00:13:16.889 --> 00:13:18.330
what can I say, Jeff here? And he had a
282
00:13:18.350 --> 00:13:21.570
lot of bric-a-brac on his desk, kind of, you know, mementos.
283
00:13:21.610 --> 00:13:23.470
He said, would you like to take something? He wanted
284
00:13:23.490 --> 00:13:25.309
to give me a present. He said, here, do you
285
00:13:25.330 --> 00:13:26.870
like Bert and Ernie? Take this little, it was a
286
00:13:26.870 --> 00:13:29.509
tiny bird. He said, take this with you. I said, okay,
287
00:13:29.529 --> 00:13:29.750
thank you.
288
00:13:29.820 --> 00:13:32.519
A little rubber Bert is what he gave you in
289
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.600
exchange for reading you a bad review?
290
00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:37.320
Yes. It was a still, it was a horrible, horrible.
291
00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.000
I'm imagining when you walk around, people are very excited
292
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.620
to see you and they have good feelings towards.
293
00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:44.120
You, which isn't the case with everybody.
294
00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:48.809
But I've also been an admirer of your lifestyle. You know,
295
00:13:48.850 --> 00:13:52.429
for many, many years, you were a, Single man on
296
00:13:52.470 --> 00:13:53.470
the prowl.
297
00:13:55.490 --> 00:13:56.929
And always.
298
00:13:56.950 --> 00:13:58.879
I don't know how prowly I was, but.
299
00:13:59.129 --> 00:13:59.620
Oh, you were.
300
00:13:59.629 --> 00:14:03.379
I enjoyed my single life. You did enjoy your single life.
301
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:03.820
I did.
302
00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:06.039
You did, and you had a good time. I like
303
00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:06.700
to go on dates.
304
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:07.679
I like dates.
305
00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:10.559
Some people say, oh, I don't like dates. Horrible dates.
306
00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:13.980
I like them. What do you like about dates? Well,
307
00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:19.120
the new investigation and possibility and potential and.
308
00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:25.039
You know. Oh God. Oh, I know that part. Yeah.
309
00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:29.179
Now would you, I would imagine, I always thought when
310
00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:31.389
I was a young man and I would go on
311
00:14:31.429 --> 00:14:33.250
a date, there are all these things that you have
312
00:14:33.289 -->
00:14:35.950
to deal with, which is, you know, oh, I'm, I
313
00:14:35.970 --> 00:14:39.990
don't have any money. My car is terrible. I remember
314
00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:41.419
going to a restaurant and thinking, am I going to
315
00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:42.860
be able to afford this?
316
00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:44.500
All those problems.
317
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:49.220
But then you're Jeff Goldblum and you're single. And you're famous,
318
00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:53.450
and people like you, and you've got incredible clothes, and
319
00:14:53.490 --> 00:14:55.830
you walk into a restaurant, right this way, Mr. Goldblum,
320
00:14:55.889 --> 00:14:58.149
right this way, and you're with this beautiful woman.
321
00:14:58.429 --> 00:15:00.490
That must make a date a very nice experience.
322
00:15:00.789 --> 00:15:02.309
Well, yeah.
323
00:15:02.509 --> 00:15:05.009
I mean, I've been with my sweet, sweet Emily now
324
00:15:05.110 --> 00:15:08.070
for seven years, so I hardly— You don't even remember
325
00:15:08.110 --> 00:15:10.029
those times, do you? I don't remember those times, no.
326
00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:12.590
They've become a blur. Because I filmed most of it.
327
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:13.340
You did?
328
00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:15.000
Yes, I have films of all of your dates.
329
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:15.620
Really?
330
00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:17.879
I'd like that. I'd like to sit with you for
331
00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:20.309
a week or two and go through all that footage.
332
00:15:20.389 --> 00:15:21.549
It would take four months.
333
00:15:22.070 --> 00:15:26.710
Oh, really? Yeah, it's nice. Well, you know, I'm sure
334
00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:30.190
I benefited from, you know, sometimes being able to, you know,
335
00:15:30.330 --> 00:15:33.169
get a leg up on the situation. So to speak, yeah.
336
00:15:33.289 --> 00:15:36.610
So to speak, with one thing or another. But, of course,
337
00:15:36.690 --> 00:15:40.940
as we know, none of those things really make a
338
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.700
happy life or a happy situation or a happy connection
339
00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:47.500
with you and somebody else. That's very finely personal and
340
00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:51.529
nothing that can be affected by money or the trappings
341
00:15:51.649 --> 00:15:53.690
of any old thing.
342
00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:56.950
You've taken to this whole enterprise like a duck to water.
343
00:15:57.509 --> 00:15:58.750
Yes, I have.
344
00:16:00.090 --> 00:16:00.429
I have.
345
00:16:00.470 --> 00:16:04.870
Well, she's spectacular. She's great. She's absolutely great, isn't she?
346
00:16:04.909 --> 00:16:09.519
And these kids... Thank goodness so far. Miraculous. You can
347
00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:10.090
always get out.
348
00:16:10.129 --> 00:16:12.090
If the kids don't turn out great, you can just
349
00:16:12.149 --> 00:16:17.230
walk away. There's very little emotional scarring when you just
350
00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:17.730
walk away.
351
00:16:17.610 --> 00:16:21.830
From a child. Well, you have, of course, Liza. You
352
00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:24.399
talk about my wife that way. The way you said
353
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.919
my wife's name. Of course, you have Liza. Well, no,
354
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.779
I hardly know your wife, but I'm sure.
355
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:33.539
What?
356
00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:39.470
You're sure of what? I'm sure. I will thrash you.
357
00:16:39.490 --> 00:16:41.889
I will thrash you about the head and shoulders with
358
00:16:41.929 --> 00:16:45.169
a cudgel. I'd enjoy that.
359
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.139
You know what's so funny? For you, everything's a sensual experience.
360
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.519
This is what I've noticed about Jeff Goldblum. Everything is
361
00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:51.539
a sensual experience.
362
00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:54.259
Here, apply this.
363
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.480
It's time to put this drywall up. You got to
364
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.350
put this drywall up. We got to get this drywall.
365
00:17:02.379 --> 00:17:06.509
Why not enjoy it? Yeah, find the studs. That cudgel
366
00:17:06.529 --> 00:17:09.230
business got me going. The line, as we know, between
367
00:17:09.269 --> 00:17:11.470
pleasure and pain is sometimes papyrus thin.
368
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.170
Oh.
369
00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:17.960
Madness.
370
00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:18.960
Pure madness.
371
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.240
Madness.
372
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.670
But no, but I was so interested in you, as
373
00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:24.210
I still am, because you've got, of course, you're two
374
00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:27.029
lovely kids. Yeah, I want to exchange all manner of
375
00:17:27.069 --> 00:17:29.650
notes and have play dates and all kind of things.
376
00:17:29.690 --> 00:17:30.930
I'd like to see you with your kids.
377
00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:34.839
Yeah, I'm a fun, well, you can attest, Sona. I'm
378
00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:35.519
a goofy dad.
379
00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:37.089
I'm very goofy with my kids.
380
00:17:37.470 --> 00:17:40.910
You're a goofy person in general, and I think you
381
00:17:41.150 --> 00:17:43.319
are very goofy in front of your kids.
382
00:17:43.470 --> 00:17:43.710
Yes.
383
00:17:43.970 --> 00:17:45.299
I play the fool.
384
00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:47.119
But they seem over it sometimes.
385
00:17:47.299 --> 00:17:51.289
Yes, yes. They, like America... Have grown weary.
386
00:17:52.470 --> 00:17:53.690
Oh, no.
387
00:17:53.710 --> 00:17:56.099
Not at all. But I realize about myself being a,
388
00:17:56.329 --> 00:17:58.819
now that I'm a dad, that I am a jokester.
389
00:17:58.890 --> 00:18:00.880
I like to make, I like to laugh. They make
390
00:18:00.940 --> 00:18:02.859
me laugh and I like to make them laugh. And
391
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.759
I'm always joking. Emily is going, you know, she kind
392
00:18:04.779 --> 00:18:07.119
of lays down the law. That's how it goes.
Yeah.
393
00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:09.539
You know, be the constructor of guardrails and this and that.
394
00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:12.940
And sometimes she gets critical of me, in fact. Like,
395
00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:14.880
you know, I'm an intrusion and, you know, come on,
396
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.240
are you going to help this along or are you
397
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.369
just going to make jokes, you know? To which I'm sensitive.
398
00:18:21.390 --> 00:18:23.589
Do you get sensitive to that if she- Of course.
399
00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:24.730
Criticizes you? I know.
400
00:18:24.750 --> 00:18:27.809
Yes, I'm sensitive to all criticism, but especially from your spouse.
401
00:18:27.950 --> 00:18:28.410
I know.
402
00:18:29.069 --> 00:18:33.369
And, you know, yes, occasionally if my wife, who's fantastic,
403
00:18:33.390 --> 00:18:36.990
but if she, if, I'm careful because she doesn't watch
404
00:18:37.029 --> 00:18:39.410
the show, but she does listen to the podcast. But
405
00:18:39.609 --> 00:18:41.539
I love her. I love her dearly. And she's a
406
00:18:41.619 --> 00:18:46.500
terrific mom, best mom ever. But occasionally- She'll say, oh,
407
00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:48.319
maybe you could have helped out more in that situation
408
00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:49.359
or you could have done this or you could have
409
00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:51.380
done that. And I feel like I'm a wounded bear
410
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:52.180
at that point.
411
00:18:52.329 --> 00:18:58.390
I'm with you. Yeah. It's horrible. Just this morning, what
412
00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:00.769
happened just this morning? I started to kind of fumigate
413
00:19:01.009 --> 00:19:04.769
inside myself. And by the time we went— You would fume.
414
00:19:04.990 --> 00:19:07.200
I fumed. I didn't fumigate. If you fumigated, you would
415
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.099
have— I was cleaning out myself. Fumigating is what I
416
00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:12.299
try to clean myself out. But I was fuming.
417
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:13.259
Yeah, sorry.
418
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.579
I tried to make a new use of the word, fumigating.
419
00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:20.420
I was fulminating. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, something like that. Fulminating. Yeah,
420
00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:24.190
I was marinating in my own juices, some kind of
421
00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:32.069
dark au jus. Insanity, insanity. She's great. She's like, talk
422
00:19:32.089 --> 00:19:34.549
about a duck, not taken to water, but a duck
423
00:19:34.589 --> 00:19:37.400
when they have a run-in, they flap their wings and
424
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.009
they don't, doesn't buy them anymore. They don't carry a
425
00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:44.420
grudge or hold anything. Everything is of the moment. I
426
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.579
need to be more like that myself. And I am,
427
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.630
I'm getting, she's teaching me that.
428
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.900
What i believe it is i believe that in
those
429
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.180
moments when we have those interactions with our wives we're
430
00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:57.509
making them our moms and we're feeling scolded.
431
00:19:56.990 --> 00:20:01.049
By a mom yes and it's uh yes.
432
00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:03.539
I i really think that that It's true, and then
433
00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:05.119
what you have to do is the work in your
434
00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:08.839
mind of saying, this isn't my mom. You're not my mother,
435
00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:13.950
you're not my mother. This isn't 1971, and don't turn
436
00:20:13.990 --> 00:20:15.710
her into that. That's not fair to her.
437
00:20:15.769 --> 00:20:20.250
I'm sure that's true. I'm sure that's true. Yeah. Do
438
00:20:20.529 --> 00:20:22.650
you have a therapist? Because I could be your therapist. Well,
439
00:20:22.670 --> 00:20:26.990
you know, this may be- I don't know. Not a
440
00:20:27.009 --> 00:20:31.609
million laughs, but my therapist who Gary Shandling connect me
441
00:20:31.769 --> 00:20:34.500
to- She was his therapist. And I was pals with
442
00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:39.039
Gary Shandley. Became my therapist. And she was wonderful. Lou Katzman.
443
00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:41.039
But I don't know, over the course. And then for
444
00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:43.309
the last decade, I would just see her as needed
445
00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:45.029
once a year if I'm getting into or out of
446
00:20:45.069 --> 00:20:49.789
a relationship or I've had some problem. And then Emily,
447
00:20:50.450 --> 00:20:53.250
a couple of years into our relationship, said, gee, wouldn't
448
00:20:53.269 --> 00:20:56.190
it be lovely if we had a baby? What would
449
00:20:56.210 --> 00:20:58.819
you think about that? And it wasn't strategic or off-putting
450
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:02.509
or untrustworthy at all. And I said, wow. This is serious.
451
00:21:03.009 --> 00:21:05.390
I'm so serious about you. This is so delightful that
452
00:21:05.730 --> 00:21:07.579
I should really consider this. Now, let's go in to
453
00:21:07.630 --> 00:21:11.039
see Lou. She hadn't met Lou Katzman, and we did.
454
00:21:11.059 --> 00:21:12.440
Lou Katzman sounds like an agent.
455
00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:12.980
I know.
456
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.059
Like a 1940s agent.
457
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.579
Lou Katzman.
458
00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:17.170
Get me Lou Katzman. You're screwing with the wrong guy.
459
00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:19.519
Lou Katzman's my agent. You're going to hear from him.
460
00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:22.839
Well, she was Lawanda Katzman. She's a southern lady who
461
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.789
married a Katzman. That's how she became Katzman. Anyway, she
462
00:21:26.809 --> 00:21:28.950
was very good, and over the course of that next year,
463
00:21:29.509 --> 00:21:33.849
We excavated all my fears, considerations about it. And after
464
00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:36.609
a year, I said, yeah, this could be peachy and
465
00:21:36.630 --> 00:21:39.410
we'll get married and have a baby. And then she,
466
00:21:39.490 --> 00:21:41.069
having never done it before, I know you can do
467
00:21:41.130 --> 00:21:45.990
this too, got herself able to officiate at the wedding. Yes.
468
00:21:46.710 --> 00:21:49.509
So she officiated our wedding. She was wonderful. Then she
469
00:21:49.529 --> 00:21:52.150
died a few months ago. Oh, sorry to hear that. Yeah,
470
00:21:52.329 --> 00:21:55.069
that's okay. But why did I bring up, oh, so
471
00:21:55.410 --> 00:21:58.349
I need a new therapist. Yes, this is a fertile time.
472
00:21:58.769 --> 00:22:02.450
You know, I feel as self-reliant as ever, you know.
473
00:22:03.309 --> 00:22:06.549
But I always enjoyed therapy. I found it to be
474
00:22:06.569 --> 00:22:09.470
a real great fruitful bone to chew on, if I'm
475
00:22:09.509 --> 00:22:13.329
not mixing my metaphors. There's no such fruitful bone. There
476
00:22:13.430 --> 00:22:15.630
would be no fruitful bone. There's no bones in fruit.
477
00:22:16.009 --> 00:22:20.990
And there's no fruit-covered bone. Yeah, another way of saying it. Yeah,
478
00:22:21.410 --> 00:22:23.289
that's right. Except, is there?
479
00:22:23.309 --> 00:22:27.289
No, no, no bones in fruit. Everyone in the room
480
00:22:27.349 --> 00:22:28.589
is backing out slowly.
481
00:22:29.029 --> 00:22:31.730
It's just the two of us. But this is such
482
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:36.680
a fertile time. Yes, all the maternal connections that might
483
00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:39.900
be there potentially with your wife and all the new
484
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:45.369
sensitivities and new passions and new mortality thoughts and this
485
00:22:45.410 --> 00:22:50.019
is a fertile time to talk with somebody smart and yeah.
486
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.000
I will, I can help you in that area if
487
00:22:52.019 --> 00:22:53.839
you want. I could be your therapist or I could
488
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:54.900
recommend a therapist.
489
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.039
Either, both. I think both would be good. Recommend. Recommend?
490
00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:01.059
What are you talking about? I think I have good, Sona,
491
00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:02.119
I give good advice, don't I?
492
00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:05.089
You do, but you're not like a licensed therapist.
493
00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:06.890
I mean, what are you talking about?
494
00:23:09.049 --> 00:23:09.789
How hard could it be?
495
00:23:09.849 --> 00:23:13.319
I'll just say, hmm, that sounds interesting and How does
496
00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:16.259
she feel about it? Okay, well, our time's up.
497
00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.319
No, he's very good.
498
00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:20.240
He's very empathic. And I've never had a problem telling
499
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:24.180
a therapist absolutely everything and being entirely truthful. Even with you,
500
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.900
I'd be, should I tell him that? I don't know.
501
00:23:26.920 -->
00:23:27.740
We're pals, too.
502
00:23:27.789 --> 00:23:30.450
You know, that's a different thing. Yeah, but you won't
503
00:23:30.490 --> 00:23:32.049
tell me the name of the plays you've been in.
504
00:23:32.410 --> 00:23:37.220
And then, you know, you're KG. You're one of KG Mink's. Um,
505
00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:40.119
let's take a quick break, a very quick break, uh,
506
00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.089
so that I.
507
00:23:41.089 --> 00:23:44.609
Can do some ads. Uh, yeah, things at cash cow.
508
00:23:50.609 --> 00:23:52.430
And now it's time for a very special edition of
509
00:23:52.690 --> 00:23:55.279
Conan O'Brien pays off the mortgage on his beach house.
510
00:23:55.890 --> 00:23:58.920
Uh, let me explain quickly if my voice sounds any different.
511
00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:03.299
I am in, uh, the airport in Australia, Sydney, Australia
512
00:24:03.339 --> 00:24:06.089
right now. I just finished a week of, uh, shooting
513
00:24:06.109 --> 00:24:08.130
an episode here for Netflix. I also did a live
514
00:24:08.190 --> 00:24:12.230
show in which I made possibly the mistake of singing
515
00:24:12.589 --> 00:24:15.009
as loud as I could while playing the guitar, the
516
00:24:15.109 --> 00:24:19.349
ACDC song, You Shook Me All Night Long, in front
517
00:24:19.390 --> 00:24:23.769
of 2,000 mystified Australians. But when I was done singing
518
00:24:23.809 --> 00:24:27.269
this song, my voice was completely gone. So now I
519
00:24:27.329 --> 00:24:30.769
sound a little bit like the great singer Lou Rawls.
520
00:24:31.289 --> 00:24:34.029
Look him up, kids. I'm here with Andrew Blair.
521
00:24:34.289 --> 00:24:34.730
Thanks, Clay.
522
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.319
Yeah. Aaron Blair.
523
00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:36.500
Yeah.
524
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.349
What did I just call you? You called me Andrew.
525
00:24:38.470 --> 00:24:40.569
Oh my God. I've known you forever. That's true. This
526
00:24:40.589 --> 00:24:41.950
is how jet lagged I am.
527
00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:42.170
18 years.
528
00:24:42.269 --> 00:24:42.490
Okay.
529
00:24:42.509 --> 00:24:44.440
Well, I'm here with Simon Blair. He does a great job.
530
00:24:45.269 --> 00:24:47.329
This family is on the brink of civil war.

It's a wonderful product. Jeff Goldblum.
543
00:25:24.710 --> 00:25:27.009
Whenever I'm with you, I find myself looking at what
544
00:25:27.029 --> 00:25:30.190
you're wearing, what you've got a great watch on.
545
00:25:30.210 --> 00:25:31.420
Thank you.
546
00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:35.019
I like your ring. You had a pinky ring for
547
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:37.000
a while. Did you commit to it or did you
548
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.599
get panicked?
549
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:45.049
Here's what happened. I dreamed in this cycle with Andrew
550
00:25:45.069 --> 00:25:48.559
Vitero one night, He's your stylist. He's my stylist. Of
551
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:50.480
a pinky ring. And I liked it. And I'd be
552
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.960
wearing it now, except tactilely playing the piano and just
553
00:25:55.029 --> 00:26:00.190
going around. I'd rather be naked on my hands and everywhere,
554
00:26:00.509 --> 00:26:02.450
you know. Would you like to be naked all the time?
555
00:26:02.549 --> 00:26:04.769
For that matter. I bet you're very comfortable with your
556
00:26:04.809 --> 00:26:08.750
naked body. Well, I wouldn't strip right now. No, no, no.
557
00:26:08.789 --> 00:26:11.789
No one was asking you to. I might pass a
558
00:26:11.829 --> 00:26:13.410
note to you to that effect, but I wouldn't ask
559
00:26:13.450 --> 00:26:16.099
you to. But I get the sense that you're someone
560
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.039
who has, you don't seem like an inhibited person. I
561
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.940
think you'd walk around naked at home, purring.
562
00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:24.910
Yes, you should see the kids before they get the
563
00:26:24.990 --> 00:26:28.490
idea that nakedness is somehow interesting or significant at all.
564
00:26:28.769 --> 00:26:31.910
They sure like to be naked. Boy, kids, you watch,
565
00:26:31.930 --> 00:26:34.029
you get to watch the human being. I'd never been
566
00:26:34.049 --> 00:26:36.109
around kids before, but you get to watch the human
567
00:26:36.150 --> 00:26:42.329
being in their unspoiled, full-scrolls, selves and it's wild isn't
568
00:26:42.390 --> 00:26:44.930
it nakedness is certainly one of them comfort with their
569
00:26:44.950 --> 00:26:48.549
bodies unselfconsciousness is part of their thing of course and
570
00:26:49.150 --> 00:26:57.299
speaking of which sexuality too eroticism arousability and all sorts
571
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:01.460
of things a couple of these boys wow you know
572
00:27:01.730 --> 00:27:03.519
And they're always playing with it. As a matter of fact,
573
00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:05.519
I came home– listen to this. I did that Red
574
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.150
Nose Day with Richard Curtis. And they give you at
575
00:27:08.170 --> 00:27:09.819
the end of that thing, if you want, a couple
576
00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:13.869
of–
Red noses. Well, he'd done it before, but sure enough,
577
00:27:13.890 --> 00:27:15.079
he hadn't done it in a while. I came in.
578
00:27:15.089 --> 00:27:18.890
He was naked. I came in the room. Who was naked? Charlie. Oh, Charlie,
579
00:27:18.910 --> 00:27:20.490
your son. I thought the guy who gave you the
580
00:27:20.509 --> 00:27:22.109
red nose was naked. No, no, not Richard Curtis. Three
581
00:27:22.130 --> 00:27:22.690
and a half year old.
582
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:25.210
Let's be really clear. Richard Curtis was not naked.
583
00:27:25.250 --> 00:27:29.930
No, in my house. Although he's a redhead, too. What
584
00:27:29.950 --> 00:27:32.920
does that mean? We're all perverts? Not at all, but
585
00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:35.440
I'm looking at one of the foremost redheads in the...
586
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.359
It's in the cosmos. I think the most, yeah. Possibly
587
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.180
the most. Anyway, he had this red nose on his penis.
588
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:43.920
What?
589
00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:46.660
Your son put it on his penis? He did. And
590
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.559
he was just having the best time because he's funny
591
00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:51.059
and he likes to make jokes. I think I've infected
592
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:56.759
him with my joke-making, you know, bone. And speaking of which,
593
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.529
he had the red nose on his penis and, you know,
594
00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:03.029
walking around. Yeah, it was quite a sight. But he
595
00:28:03.069 --> 00:28:05.640
likes it. You know, they, boy, they, slap it and
596
00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:07.339
they pinch it and they do all kinds of things.
597
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.400
And they get erect. They get erectile, as you know,
598
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:16.589
I'm sure, often. And we try not to make any
599
00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:19.130
big deal about it either. Well, you're supposed to shame them.
600
00:28:19.990 --> 00:28:20.630
I don't think so.
601
00:28:21.250 --> 00:28:21.470
Really?
602
00:28:22.089 --> 00:28:23.369
That's what I... Okay.
603
00:28:23.829 --> 00:28:27.789
But no, sexuality and sex was not spoken about in
604
00:28:27.829 --> 00:28:29.450
my home. Probably not your home either.
605
00:28:29.690 --> 00:28:32.420
Well, ours had a weird... Shirley and Harold were the parents.
606
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:39.039
Shirley had a particularly... She would vacuum the house naked.
607
00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:39.640
What?
608
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.500
Your mom would?
609
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:40.589
Yep.
610
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.940
She would go around with a vacuum cleaner somehow. Yeah,
611
00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:45.680
she thought, I think her general credo was the human
612
00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:47.740
body is, you know, in the new freedoms. This is
613
00:28:47.769 --> 00:28:50.650
in the new freedoms era. Fine and dandy. I'm part
614
00:28:50.690 --> 00:28:52.549
of the youth culture. She didn't want to be left
615
00:28:52.630 --> 00:28:55.049
out of anything. Anyway, she was, but she also was
616
00:28:55.109 --> 00:29:03.130
given to a complicated and probably un... Realized sexuality. I'm
617
00:29:03.170 --> 00:29:09.829
just guessing. Really? Well, maybe so. Maybe so. Anyway, she
618
00:29:09.849 --> 00:29:10.589
would go around.
619
00:29:10.430 --> 00:29:13.069
So you saw your mom vacuuming nude That must have
620
00:29:13.089 --> 00:29:14.000
had an influence on you And it was.
621
00:29:13.930 --> 00:29:16.319
A whole Philip Roth novel To be honest with you
622
00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:17.900
I won't go into it But there was probably a
623
00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:21.779
lot of complication To be excavated at a later date Right,
624
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:25.160
with a professional Which I've done some with professionals Yes Well, you.
625
00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:26.869
Should continue to do it And I would like to
626
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.170
be there when you do it Really? I would You're
627
00:29:29.190 --> 00:29:32.450
invited Would you let me sit in on a therapy session?
628
00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:36.049
Or do you feel, I wouldn't repeat anything. You trust me,
629
00:29:36.069 --> 00:29:36.329
don't you?
630
00:29:36.690 --> 00:29:38.630
Well. With a microphone and then we air it?
631
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:40.819
Yes.
632
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:42.000
Yes.
633
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.359
I have another story I just thought of. Let's hear it.
634
00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:49.200
It sounds like a horror story. I can't possibly tell this. Why?
635
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:49.940
Why not?
636
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.200
Oh, no, no.
637
00:29:51.269 --> 00:29:56.369
Does it involve an erection? Yes. Oh, but don't they all?
638
00:29:56.470 --> 00:29:56.910
Never mind.
639
00:29:56.950 --> 00:29:57.660
Don't they all?
640
00:29:57.670 --> 00:29:57.970
Well, wait.
641
00:29:58.349 --> 00:30:00.410
Let's ask a couple of questions, and you can... Does
642
00:30:00.450 --> 00:30:01.980
it involve your childhood or maybe.
643
00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:06.220
Later years. My childhood? This story that you can't tell,
644
00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:07.960
does it involve your childhood or a little later on?
645
00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:12.740
Now we're getting to my adolescence. Ah, yeah. Newfound, yeah.
646
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:14.819
And you learn that your powers increase.
647
00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:15.920
Yes, exactly.
648
00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:20.240
Your sexuality, you blossomed. Like a zucchini blossom. Like a
649
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:24.470
zucchini blossom, like a fruit in its... A fruit with
650
00:30:24.529 --> 00:30:28.069
a bone in it this time, without the bone removed.
651
00:30:28.650 --> 00:30:30.710
What's the matter with us? They're going to come. It's
652
00:30:30.750 --> 00:30:33.869
not with us. Don't drag me into this. People are
653
00:30:33.890 --> 00:30:36.710
going to identify where we live and warn the
neighbors.
654
00:30:37.170 --> 00:30:43.650
Listen, you are— I've.
655
00:30:43.589 --> 00:30:46.569
Said too much. No, no. I'm feeling warm under my sweater.
656
00:30:46.750 --> 00:30:49.519
Yeah, I think we're all feeling warm. You know, I
657
00:30:49.539 --> 00:30:51.230
think it's good that there are other people in the room.
658
00:30:51.859 --> 00:30:53.440
If it were just the two of us, it would
659
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:57.359
be somehow, A, more exciting, B, scarier.
660
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:01.559
But it's good that we have mixed company too, because Sona. Sona,
661
00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:03.119
you'd tell us if this went too far, right?
662
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:06.640
No, this is great. I don't know what's happening, but
663
00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:09.049
I'm enjoying it. It's very homoerotic.
664
00:31:09.650 --> 00:31:10.029
Really?
665
00:31:10.109 --> 00:31:13.769
You two are, you two are both moaning a lot.
666
00:31:13.869 --> 00:31:14.150
Yes.
667
00:31:15.390 --> 00:31:20.289
I have to say, I've always had, I, I, you know,
668
00:31:20.309 --> 00:31:23.519
I'm going to be completely open. I've always had just this,
669
00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:27.619
this affection for Jeff Goldblum. And then it, it, It
670
00:31:27.900 --> 00:31:30.500
passes on to like this, also this tactile, like when
671
00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:32.519
I see him, I like to give him a hug
672
00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:35.259
and shake his hand and he makes these very pleasing sounds.
673
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.170
And so, yeah, it could be attraction. If it is,
674
00:31:40.609 --> 00:31:42.630
sexuality is a scale.
675
00:31:42.650 --> 00:31:45.710
We all know that. It's a spectrum. Matt, isn't it
676
00:31:45.769 --> 00:31:46.170
a spectrum?
677
00:31:46.490 --> 00:31:46.869
Certainly.
678
00:31:47.009 --> 00:31:48.670
I mean, this is the first time I've met you
679
00:31:48.769 --> 00:31:49.869
and I am bewitched.
680
00:31:50.710 --> 00:31:51.329
He is.
681
00:31:51.349 --> 00:31:51.789
It's true.
682
00:31:52.470 --> 00:31:54.700
You are one charming son of a bitch.
683
00:31:54.779 --> 00:31:57.579
So sweet. Do you know the theme song for Bewitched?
684
00:31:58.569 --> 00:32:00.089
Bewitched.
685
00:32:00.150 --> 00:32:00.829
Is that it?
686
00:32:00.849 --> 00:32:03.230
That's Giant Genie. That's I Dream of Genie. Never mind,
687
00:32:03.250 --> 00:32:03.549
we're wrong.
688
00:32:03.569 --> 00:32:05.190
Oh, wait, no, no, no. Who played Genie?
689
00:32:05.230 --> 00:32:07.190
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Barbara Eden. No, no, no,
690
00:32:07.190 --> 00:32:08.140
it has no, Bewitched doesn't.
691
00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:09.059
It does have lyrics.
692
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:10.980
No, you're thinking of the movie.
693
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:11.460
It used to.
694
00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.859
Yeah, she'd come in on that broom.
695
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:16.279
Bewitched, Bewitched.
696
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:24.890
Yes, yes, that's it. Hey, you're jazzy. Hey, you could
697
00:32:24.930 --> 00:32:26.650
have played one of the, if they were looking for
698
00:32:26.690 --> 00:32:30.119
another you know, Dick the husband, you know, because they
699
00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:32.279
went through a Dick replacement on that. There was Dick.
700
00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:34.460
They did a creepy thing on that show, which is the.
701
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:36.460
Dick Sargent, Dick York. Dick York.
702
00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:36.980
Yeah.
703
00:32:37.089 --> 00:32:39.349
Had to leave the show because of a back injury. Oh,
704
00:32:39.390 --> 00:32:40.630
I didn't know that. And he was ill.
705
00:32:40.990 --> 00:32:43.829
He had to leave the show and he was replaced
706
00:32:43.869 --> 00:32:45.490
by Dick Sargent and they never said anything.
707
00:32:45.549 --> 00:32:46.009
That's right.
708
00:32:46.029 --> 00:32:48.009
I always find that scary.
709
00:32:48.029 --> 00:32:48.109
Yeah.
710
00:32:48.130 --> 00:32:50.150
In sitcoms when they do that and everyone acts like
711
00:32:50.210 --> 00:32:51.130
it's the same person.
712
00:32:51.269 --> 00:32:51.569
I know.
713
00:32:51.970 --> 00:32:52.309
I know.
714
00:32:52.329 --> 00:32:55.789
I'm going to make another observation. I know you play jazz.
715
00:32:55.890 --> 00:32:57.450
You're very passionate about jazz.
716
00:32:57.490 --> 00:33:02.890
You've made this album, which is incredible, really, the musicianship.
717
00:33:03.269 --> 00:33:06.250
But what's interesting is it's no coincidence to me that
718
00:33:06.269 --> 00:33:09.609
you like jazz, because I think when you speak, it's jazz.
719
00:33:09.869 --> 00:33:14.089
Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? You speak very musically.
720
00:33:14.730 --> 00:33:16.539
And you bring things up, and they occur to you,
721
00:33:16.569 --> 00:33:18.630
and you follow them where they're going, and then you
722
00:33:18.950 --> 00:33:21.289
dip back, and then you find a difference. It's got
723
00:33:21.309 --> 00:33:23.680
a rhythm. Does this make any sense at all?
724
00:33:23.730 --> 00:33:27.619
It sure does, yeah. I was always naturally just excited
725
00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:31.220
about jazz and rhythmical things and different harmonic things and
726
00:33:31.509 --> 00:33:34.769
improvisation particularly. Then I studied acting with Sanford Meisner, whose
727
00:33:34.829 --> 00:33:39.950
cornerstone of his technique is this particular improvisation. And even
728
00:33:39.970 --> 00:33:42.710
though I like to do scripted material, do I do
729
00:33:42.730 --> 00:33:45.589
a David Mamet play or, you know, my Martin McDonough
730
00:33:45.609 --> 00:33:47.269
play and that you have to, as you know, be
731
00:33:47.690 --> 00:33:50.670
exactly on the words or a Wes Anderson movie who
732
00:33:50.710 --> 00:33:53.559
doesn't want you to replace and with the right. et cetera.
733
00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:55.920
And then you find a kind of freedom and interesting
734
00:33:56.279 -->
00:33:59.259
nuance within that. And that's a very beautiful creative experience,
735
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:04.200
but I do enjoy doing Portlandia or Thor Ragnarok on
736
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.470
which we improvised a lot. And I like improvisation. I like,
737
00:34:07.529 --> 00:34:09.829
and as you know, these talk shows, which interests me
738
00:34:09.889 --> 00:34:12.590
terrifically as early on, I would go on a talk
739
00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:18.389
show and, and, and sort of adopt the cliche and
740
00:34:18.489 --> 00:34:21.980
conventional posture that, Oh, I like the work to speak
741
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.400
for itself. What am I doing on this show or that? Really,
742
00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:30.809
because I was frightened that occurred to me. But I
743
00:34:30.869 --> 00:34:33.530
came to see it as an opportunity for something that
744
00:34:33.610 --> 00:34:36.889
I enjoy doing and something that could be very special,
745
00:34:36.909 --> 00:34:40.929
a little improvisation with somebody who's top-notch at it, playing
746
00:34:40.989 --> 00:34:45.090
ostensibly yourself, but in a short way. I love everything
747
00:34:45.130 --> 00:34:45.519
about it.
748
00:34:45.710 --> 00:34:48.320
And I think if you're in an environment where you
749
00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:51.849
feel safe, Where you know that, no, we can let
750
00:34:51.869 --> 00:34:54.550
this go and we can let this– let's see what happens.
751
00:34:54.630 --> 00:34:55.389
Yeah. Who cares?
752
00:34:55.409 --> 00:34:57.969
Let's just have fun. Today when I was on the show,
753
00:34:58.469 --> 00:35:01.440
you know, Rachel, whom I really enjoyed. She's one of
754
00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:04.119
the segment producers. The segment producing said, well, we talked
755
00:35:04.139 --> 00:35:06.599
for a little bit on the telephone and now I've
756
00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:09.280
got some questions that he may ask you. I said, well,
757
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.849
surprise me. And she could have said, well, no, here,
758
00:35:12.869 --> 00:35:14.489
you better get ready for this.
759
00:35:14.690 --> 00:35:15.230
She said, okay.
760
00:35:15.469 --> 00:35:17.550
Well, that's the best anyway. So I really didn't know
761
00:35:17.650 --> 00:35:20.909
anything that was going to occur. And that's my kind
762
00:35:20.949 --> 00:35:22.800
of favorite thing. Your whole segment today was a cry
763
00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:28.059
for help. It was, my segment. All right. Well, listen,
764
00:35:30.010 --> 00:35:32.530
I think we should go out to dinner. Now, here's
765
00:35:32.550 --> 00:35:33.110
what I ask.
766
00:35:33.230 --> 00:35:33.869
It's a deal, yeah.
767
00:35:33.949 --> 00:35:35.780
Is it just you and I? Do we get the
768
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:36.960
wives involved?
769
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.260
I think we should do all variations of it. We
770
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:41.980
should do yes, you and I, then we should get
771
00:35:42.019 --> 00:35:45.019
the wives involved. Maybe you and I just first. Okie dokie.
772
00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:48.980
It's because the wives, they can get in the way.
773
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:50.559
What?
774
00:35:51.179 --> 00:35:52.769
So maybe just you and I.
775
00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:53.239
Okay.
776
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.260
Would it be an Italian restaurant? What kind of cuisine
777
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:55.699
are we talking about?
778
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.320
Well, we could pick. Geez, I don't know. I love food,
779
00:36:00.860 --> 00:36:04.860
and I love all different manner of ambiance. What would you...
780
00:36:05.139 --> 00:36:06.219
What do you imagine?
781
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.570
I see you in a very stylish restaurant. I think
782
00:36:08.610 --> 00:36:12.050
it would be important that it be kind of a cool.
783
00:36:13.170 --> 00:36:13.690
Look.
784
00:36:13.730 --> 00:36:16.369
No, I'm not saying it shouldn't be stuffy. I don't
785
00:36:16.429 --> 00:36:17.349
see you going to a stuffy restaurant.
786
00:36:17.369 --> 00:36:19.590
I don't like stuffy. I don't like fine food dining
787
00:36:19.610 --> 00:36:20.289
for that reason much.
788
00:36:20.329 --> 00:36:20.969
No, no, I don't like that.
789
00:36:20.989 --> 00:36:21.250
Right, right.
790
00:36:21.489 --> 00:36:22.030
I don't like lengthy.
791
00:36:22.050 --> 00:36:24.349
But you're also a Pittsburgh guy. You might like a
792
00:36:24.409 --> 00:36:26.050
T-bone steak, ribs.
793
00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:28.940
I like a steak. I go for the leaner cuts
794
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.039
of meat these days. I like a nice filet, a
795
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:36.559
petite filet, yeah, here or there. But I would do anything.
796
00:36:36.579 --> 00:36:38.659
But I like, you know, I did this little thing
797
00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:41.849
with Jonathan Gold before he passed away, speaking of which,
798
00:36:42.269 --> 00:36:42.929
who was wonderful.
799
00:36:42.949 --> 00:36:43.369
Do you know him?
800
00:36:43.389 --> 00:36:45.150
Did you see that documentary, City of Gold?
801
00:36:45.230 --> 00:36:45.409
Yes.
802
00:36:45.550 --> 00:36:47.710
It makes you appreciate Los Angeles in a whole different
803
00:36:47.750 --> 00:36:50.349
way through his eyes. He was brilliant. He was brilliant.
804
00:36:50.369 --> 00:36:51.949
He said, you know, he made me think that, hey,
805
00:36:51.989 --> 00:36:53.829
this is a good place to raise kids. You can,
806
00:36:53.869 --> 00:36:56.159
if you drive around and expose them to the right things,
807
00:36:56.179 --> 00:37:00.920
this is a place of diversity and cultural interest. And food-wise,
808
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.159
you go to these little mini-malls that I used to think, ah,
809
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:06.090
ugly people. Ugly town, you know. But no, no, no.
810
00:37:06.170 --> 00:37:10.429
You can appreciate the indigenous family, authentic offerings that they have.
811
00:37:10.550 --> 00:37:13.170
And so we could go to
Jitlada. We could go to,
812
00:37:13.210 --> 00:37:15.110
you know, this Thai place that was on his list.
813
00:37:15.349 --> 00:37:17.789
I have yet to go down the hundred, his last
814
00:37:17.869 --> 00:37:20.809
hundred of the list. But, you know, Musa and Franks.
815
00:37:20.849 --> 00:37:21.630
I like Musa and Franks.
816
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:21.949
I went there.
817
00:37:21.969 --> 00:37:24.360
You know, I do this with a couple of friends
818
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.079
of mine, Greg Daniels and Rodman Flender. We have a
819
00:37:27.099 --> 00:37:32.320
tradition where we find restaurants. Los Angeles restaurants. And the
820
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.820
rule is they had to be in operation before we
821
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.780
were born. And it took us to all these really
822
00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:40.619
interesting places downtown that have been around.
823
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:43.530
Since the 40s or the 50s, or sometimes the 20s.
824
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:46.059
And you'll find out, oh, this is where the police
825
00:37:46.099 --> 00:37:49.539
detectives always eat. And there's sawdust on the floor. But
826
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:53.780
if you get the, you know, the pot roast is great. Uh,
827
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:56.659
and they, they're, they're kooky places that, that no one
828
00:37:56.699 --> 00:37:57.320
knows about.
829
00:37:57.340 --> 00:37:58.039
Sounds great.
830
00:37:58.059 --> 00:38:01.679
But I took my daughter, uh, last weekend, I took
831
00:38:01.699 --> 00:38:05.809
my daughter Nev down to, uh, downtown LA. We went
832
00:38:05.889 --> 00:38:09.449
to little Tokyo and we found this little Korean barbecue
833
00:38:09.469 --> 00:38:11.909
place and it was like a little hole in the wall.
834
00:38:11.929 --> 00:38:14.349
And we went in fantastic, just a great meal. We
835
00:38:14.369 --> 00:38:17.050
brought a friend of hers and she's very interested in, uh,
836
00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:20.670
you know, Korean and Japanese culture. And so she wanted to,
837
00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:22.070
we went into all the little shops and.
838
00:38:22.469 --> 00:38:25.150
LA is really amazing that way. It's incredible. So maybe
839
00:38:25.170 --> 00:38:26.610
we'll do something like that, you and I. Let's do
840
00:38:26.670 --> 00:38:29.630
Korean barbecue. There's a place called Suit Bull Jeep. Do
841
00:38:29.650 --> 00:38:31.710
you know Suit Bull Jeep? Yeah. You go there and
842
00:38:31.750 --> 00:38:33.590
you cook things. They cook things right on this little
843
00:38:33.630 --> 00:38:36.389
grill there. I said, I got the squid and they,
844
00:38:36.530 --> 00:38:38.769
with a scissor, they come over with a big squid
845
00:38:38.789 --> 00:38:41.150
and they start cutting off some of the legs like that.
846
00:38:41.570 --> 00:38:43.989
It was kind of great. I like all that stuff.
847
00:38:44.190 --> 00:38:46.449
Let's go. Let's do some exploring because I have not
848
00:38:46.570 --> 00:38:49.500
gone And that's the one great thing about having kids.
849
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:53.440
It must make you go, gee, I need to expose
850
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:55.599
them anyway to all sorts of things. And seeing it
851
00:38:55.619 --> 00:38:58.659
through their eyes is kind of delightful. Well, enough with them.
852
00:38:58.699 --> 00:39:00.519
You get plenty of time with them. I see you
853
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:02.260
and I going to a restaurant. No kids.
854
00:39:02.659 --> 00:39:02.929
Sounds good.
855
00:39:02.949 --> 00:39:06.250
They sound delightful, but mine neither. They're not there either.
856
00:39:06.269 --> 00:39:07.000
It's just you and I.
857
00:39:07.869 --> 00:39:11.019
It's a good idea. Night when there's no work the
858
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:13.639
next day. And Musso and Franks, I asked, no work
859
00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:15.500
the next day, really? Well, I'd like to just make
860
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.659
sure that I have a clear schedule. Plenty of time. What?
861
00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:23.170
I'm getting frightened. But I'm intrigued, strangely. But I asked
862
00:39:23.369 --> 00:39:24.929
on the day that I worked with Jonathan Gold, I said,
863
00:39:24.949 --> 00:39:26.380
what do you think about Mousseau Franks? He said, yes,
864
00:39:26.420 --> 00:39:26.880
that's good.
865
00:39:27.139 --> 00:39:27.420
It's good.
866
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:29.400
It's still good. Yeah, go there. And of course, the
867
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:32.179
atmosphere is very nice. But they have things on that menu,
868
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:35.889
speaking of before we were born, like sherbet. You never see,
869
00:39:35.909 --> 00:39:38.349
you know, you see sorbet these days, but sherbet they have.
870
00:39:38.409 --> 00:39:40.909
That was all over when we were kids. Sherbet. Sherbet
871
00:39:40.929 --> 00:39:42.219
was what you ate all the time.
872
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:42.469
That's right.
873
00:39:42.489 --> 00:39:43.440
And then it just went away.
874
00:39:43.579 --> 00:39:46.860
Went away or became sorbet. I don't know.
875
00:39:46.900 --> 00:39:47.360
Yeah.
876
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:49.239
It's like asbestos, one of those fun things we had
877
00:39:49.260 --> 00:39:51.300
when we were kids that we're not allowed to enjoy anymore.
878
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:56.280
Yeah, that's right. My parents smoked Chesterfield cigarettes a pack
879
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:58.039
a day or something, you know, in the car. They'd
880
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.400
get the four of us in the car and, you know,
881
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:05.320
smoke away. My mom chewed tobacco. She did not. Okay,
882
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.960
she didn't. It would have been fun if she did.
883
00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:13.969
Who played the grandma on Beverly Hillbillies? Irene Ryan. That's
884
00:40:14.030 --> 00:40:15.659
exactly right. Excuse me.
885
00:40:15.780 --> 00:40:18.829
Can we all pause for a second? Can we all
886
00:40:18.869 --> 00:40:21.909
pause for a second? That was fucking fast.
887
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:23.480
Oh, it's me?
888
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:25.320
Okay, can we just, can you, I want someone, I
889
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.610
want some, an engineer to look at the time between,
890
00:40:28.630 --> 00:40:31.030
I didn't know that was coming, the time between when
891
00:40:31.050 --> 00:40:32.190
he asked and when I answered.
892
00:40:32.230 --> 00:40:32.969
There was no editing.
893
00:40:33.130 --> 00:40:35.110
It was like you were already thinking about her.
894
00:40:35.130 --> 00:40:37.190
You almost answered it ahead of time.
895
00:40:37.210 --> 00:40:38.849
When's the last time you talked about or thought about
896
00:40:38.969 --> 00:40:42.170
Irene Ryan? Probably a week ago. And I'm not kidding.
897
00:40:42.309 --> 00:40:45.099
I was very influenced by television as a child.
898
00:40:45.179 --> 00:40:48.260
I really appreciated those performers. She was amazing. Died recently.
899
00:40:48.780 --> 00:40:52.139
Before her, you know, her time really, ahead of time,
900
00:40:52.619 --> 00:40:57.510
she died really as the series ended, I think. And yeah,
901
00:40:58.269 --> 00:41:00.710
she was a young, she was much younger than she
902
00:41:00.750 --> 00:41:03.809
was playing. Yeah, she was a terrific, terrific actress.
903
00:41:03.829 --> 00:41:06.320
She was wonderful, but we'd never heard about her before then.
904
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:07.599
I'm sure one could look her up and see that
905
00:41:07.619 --> 00:41:09.179
she was in movies or something. Irene Ryan, Beverly Hillbillies.
906
00:41:09.219 --> 00:41:12.159
Beverly Hillbillies is a very funny, creative show.
907
00:41:12.179 --> 00:41:14.050
Oh yeah, Max Baer Jr. Max Baer Sr. was a,
908
00:41:15.329 --> 00:41:18.869
Heavyweight champion, of course. Buddy Ebsen. I was riding down, driving,
909
00:41:18.929 --> 00:41:21.550
I think in the mid-70s when I first came to L.A.,
910
00:41:21.909 --> 00:41:24.449
riding down La Cienega or something. Who pulls up next
911
00:41:24.469 --> 00:41:26.250
to me? Mr.
912
00:41:26.329 --> 00:41:26.550
Ebsen.
913
00:41:26.590 --> 00:41:28.550
A friend was with me, but I didn't have the
914
00:41:28.630 --> 00:41:32.530
authority or confidence to go. And I think I went, Mr.
915
00:41:32.630 --> 00:41:33.050
Ebsen.
916
00:41:33.110 --> 00:41:36.239
And he didn't see me. And the friend kept ribbing
917
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:36.840
me about that.
918
00:41:36.860 --> 00:41:36.980
Oh, Mr.
919
00:41:37.340 --> 00:41:41.719
Ebsen. My greatest joy in life is– Of course, Ellie Mae,
920
00:41:41.739 --> 00:41:42.659
Donna Douglas.
921
00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:43.570
Donna Douglas.
922
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:44.469
Sorry.
923
00:41:44.809 --> 00:41:45.769
In the cement pond.
924
00:41:45.969 --> 00:41:46.170
Yeah.
925
00:41:46.190 --> 00:41:47.650
I'm going out with the critters in the cement pond.
926
00:41:47.670 --> 00:41:49.750
She was
fantastic. Yes, we could go on and on.
927
00:41:49.769 --> 00:41:52.409
This hit right around my adolescence, as a matter of fact.
928
00:41:52.710 --> 00:41:55.409
You know what, really? I see Gilligan's Island. Oh, my God.
929
00:41:55.550 --> 00:41:58.550
You know what I was? I was into Marianne, much
930
00:41:58.570 --> 00:41:59.159
more than Ginger.
931
00:41:59.260 --> 00:42:00.139
I was into Ginger.
932
00:42:00.539 --> 00:42:02.639
No, I knew Ginger wouldn't give me the time of day,
933
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:05.940
but I knew that Marianne would like me.
934
00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:08.840
Really? And she would take me back in the coconut trees.
935
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:10.119
I'm sorry.
936
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.590
It happened right around the time I was, speaking of
937
00:42:13.849 --> 00:42:15.869
the story that we didn't tell, right around I was
938
00:42:15.929 --> 00:42:16.489
coming of.
939
00:42:18.130 --> 00:42:18.409
Age.
940
00:42:18.510 --> 00:42:26.190
Oh, my God. Age. Yeah. And she was one of
941
00:42:26.269 --> 00:42:32.619
my first, the first, in fact, stimulant into some new
942
00:42:32.659 --> 00:42:33.920
phase in my life.
943
00:42:34.460 --> 00:42:37.760
You know, she's still with us, and we could probably
944
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.369
contact her and let her know that she made you
945
00:42:42.409 --> 00:42:43.710
a man for the first time alone.
946
00:42:43.789 --> 00:42:44.389
She did, indeed.
947
00:42:44.650 --> 00:42:45.130
Listen to this.
948
00:42:45.469 --> 00:42:49.679
She was 20 years later in my early 30s, maybe.
949
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:53.380
I did this show about jazz with Forrest Whitaker where
950
00:42:53.420 --> 00:42:56.440
we played. It was called Lush Life. I played a sideman,
951
00:42:56.460 --> 00:42:58.039
a sax. I pretended to play the saxophone.
952
00:42:58.059 --> 00:42:58.550
Yeah.
953
00:42:59.289 --> 00:43:01.530
But I was a womanizer of some kind or another.
954
00:43:01.829 --> 00:43:04.150
And then we played a gig and I was supposed
955
00:43:04.190 --> 00:43:07.090
to get together with this lady, older lady who I
956
00:43:07.130 --> 00:43:08.909
just met there. And we went up to an upstairs
957
00:43:08.969 --> 00:43:12.420
bathroom or bedroom and had sex quickly. And a little
958
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.539
scene happened between us. I had the part with the
959
00:43:15.579 --> 00:43:22.579
producers and the director. We auditioned several women, including Tina Louise. Oh,
960
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:25.239
my God. So you got to meet her. I got
961
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:27.199
to meet her and we did the scene together in
962
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:30.780
which she had to sit on my lap and kind
963
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.550
of coo and maybe we kissed her briefly. We did it.
964
00:43:35.179 --> 00:43:38.849
Isn't that crazy when we've had this experience– because I've
965
00:43:38.869 --> 00:43:44.769
had the same experience where someone that I found very
966
00:43:44.849 --> 00:43:49.429
sexually stimulating in puberty– And you think, well, that would
967
00:43:49.469 --> 00:43:52.429
never– I'd never meet them. And then later on, you
968
00:43:52.489 --> 00:43:56.550
meet them and they hug you and they're affectionate. It's
969
00:43:56.590 --> 00:44:00.460
very crazy when that happens. I had that with Farrah Fawcett.
970
00:44:01.980 --> 00:44:03.400
Farrah Fawcett. Yeah.
971
00:44:03.500 --> 00:44:04.500
Yes, yes.
972
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:07.280
Farrah Fawcett came on my show and after the show,
973
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.719
I went into the dressing room and she just said, well,
974
00:44:09.739 --> 00:44:12.619
I had a really great time. And the next thing I.
975
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:13.369
She just hugged me.
976
00:44:13.380 --> 00:44:17.769
She gave me a nice hug and she was– And
977
00:44:17.849 --> 00:44:21.659
I was in a very small room hugging this woman
978
00:44:21.739 --> 00:44:30.260
who was the apple of my eye at a tender age.
979
00:44:30.699 --> 00:44:33.440
I know exactly. I met Farrah Fawcett. Our band was
980
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:38.170
playing a cigar club in Beverly Hills on Cannon Drive.
981
00:44:38.389 --> 00:44:39.030
She was there.
982
00:44:39.389 --> 00:44:39.630
Yeah.
983
00:44:39.750 --> 00:44:45.409
And we found ourselves– anyway, we shared an embrace. The
984
00:44:45.449 --> 00:44:46.110
police are coming.
985
00:44:46.130 --> 00:44:46.210
Yeah.
986
00:44:47.489 --> 00:44:49.429
Quick, Isla's got out the window now.
987
00:44:49.449 --> 00:44:50.510
I called them.
988
00:44:51.110 --> 00:44:53.250
Sona called the police.
989
00:44:53.309 --> 00:44:55.960
This has been, I feel like there's an alternate universe
990
00:44:55.980 --> 00:44:59.860
where you and I do a podcast that I think
991
00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:04.500
lasts 800 hours and food is brought in and occasionally
992
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.110
we sleep, but we still murmur.
993
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:09.940
I look forward to it. Maybe that alternate universe is
994
00:45:09.980 --> 00:45:11.659
very close to this one. We can get there quick.
995
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:15.199
An absolute delight. And, you know, I'll say this about
996
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.389
Jeff Goldblum as we sign off. He is what you
997
00:45:19.409 --> 00:45:22.650
think he is. He's one of the more authentic people
998
00:45:22.809 --> 00:45:27.030
I've come across. He really– He really is Jeff Goldblum.
999
00:45:27.210 --> 00:45:29.389
This is not an act, and it's delightful.
1000
00:45:29.710 --> 00:45:31.840
I adore you. Coming from you, high praise indeed, and
1001
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:34.480
I'll cherish this moment forever. I doubt it. I think
1002
00:45:34.500 --> 00:45:38.599
you'll forget it very quickly, but still, it was a
1003
00:45:38.619 --> 00:45:41.780
nice thing to say. It's true. Jeff Goldblum. Conan O'Brien.
1004
00:45:47.329 --> 00:45:50.010
And now it's time for a segment called Conan
O'Brien
1005
00:45:50.030 --> 00:45:51.650
Pays Off the Mortgage on His Beach House.
1006
00:45:52.070 --> 00:45:54.159
This family is on the brink of civil war.
1007
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:59.030
Mobland, the hit original series, is back exclusively on Paramount +.
1008
00:45:58.820 --> 00:46:02.300
We are the Harrigans. Don't know the name? Google us.
1009
00:46:02.380 --> 00:46:04.280
From the underworld of Guy Ritchie.
1010
00:46:04.300 --> 00:46:05.800
Do you want to step up the ladder?
1011
00:46:05.929 --> 00:46:07.050
I want Conrad dead.
1012
00:46:07.090 --> 00:46:10.769
Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren.
1013
00:46:10.789 --> 00:46:11.769
You want to walk?
1014
00:46:11.789 --> 00:46:12.630
I'll give you a walk.
1015
00:46:13.570 --> 00:46:16.210
Stream the brand new series of Mobland from 18th of
1016

September exclusively on Paramount +. Subscription required.

1018
00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:30.179
Conan, Sona, this is an important moment. It's time to
1019
00:46:30.260 --> 00:46:32.969
discuss the results of the latest drawing contest. The one
1020
00:46:33.010 --> 00:46:36.190
we did as a blind drawing contest so that nobody
1021
00:46:36.210 --> 00:46:38.929
was voting for or against a person, but for the
1022
00:46:39.030 --> 00:46:39.610
art itself.
1023
00:46:39.929 --> 00:46:42.219
How do you guys feel about your... How about your
1024
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:43.230
results before I tell you?
1025
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.050
I've never been less nervous about anything in my life.
1026
00:46:46.690 --> 00:46:50.949
In my deepest, most sound REM sleep. Because I'm so confident.
1027
00:46:51.150 --> 00:46:54.889
I am an artist. Oh my God.
1028
00:46:55.070 --> 00:47:00.889
I think, I feel completely unthreatened by Sona's cabin of
1029
00:47:00.929 --> 00:47:06.320
dildos that she's inked. And I think that I'm going
1030
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:09.440
to win. I don't think I'm going to win. I
1031
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:10.960
know I'm going to win.
1032
00:47:12.309 --> 00:47:12.730
Okay.
1033
00:47:12.849 --> 00:47:13.300
Sona.
1034
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:14.480
Here's the thing.
1035
00:47:14.980 --> 00:47:17.679
I didn't feel good about it when I drew it.
1036
00:47:18.219 --> 00:47:20.099
I didn't feel good about it when I saw it
1037
00:47:20.179 --> 00:47:24.989
this morning on Twitter. And if I was Conan, I
1038
00:47:25.030 --> 00:47:27.230
would feel the same he is feeling right now.
1039
00:47:27.710 --> 00:47:31.530
I would feel... Very confident about his doodle.
1040
00:47:32.010 --> 00:47:35.199
Also, you called yourself an artist, but you're really good
1041
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:35.860
at doodling.
1042
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:37.280
All you do is doodle.
1043
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:39.599
This calls for doodling, so I doodle.
1044
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:40.099
I know.
1045
00:47:40.139 --> 00:47:40.840
I'm
just saying.
1046
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:44.599
If I was in a contest that required me to
1047
00:47:44.659 --> 00:47:51.940
paint like Rembrandt, I would because I always match the occasion.
1048
00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:53.099
That's my ability.
1049
00:47:54.050 --> 00:47:56.909
Um, okay. No, I, I, I didn't feel good about this.
1050
00:47:57.150 --> 00:47:57.550
You're right.
1051
00:47:57.610 --> 00:47:59.719
My house looks like it was made of dildos and
1052
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.880
I don't, uh, everything just didn't work.
1053
00:48:02.900 --> 00:48:06.679
And I think I just want to, again, go to, uh,
1054
00:48:07.059 --> 00:48:08.780
what comes to mind to me is that dildos would
1055
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.889
be a terrible building material for a cabin. Not that
1056
00:48:12.949 --> 00:48:14.369
I know, not that I have a lot of experience,
1057
00:48:14.409 --> 00:48:17.050
but I think they're wobbly and.
1058
00:48:17.349 --> 00:48:18.889
Well, it depends on what they're made out of.
1059
00:48:19.170 --> 00:48:19.269
What?
1060
00:48:19.659 --> 00:48:21.889
Aren't dildos wobbly? Not all of them, I think.
1061
00:48:21.909 --> 00:48:22.480
Some are strong.
1062
00:48:22.500 --> 00:48:24.960
Gourley, what do you mean not all of them?
1063
00:48:24.980 --> 00:48:26.500
This is just common knowledge.
1064
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:27.920
You really jumped in.
1065
00:48:28.139 --> 00:48:28.519
Sorry.
1066
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:30.719
Yeah, you did jump in. And you say, well, actually,
1067
00:48:30.739 --> 00:48:35.039
that's a common misconception. There are many kinds of dildos.
1068
00:48:35.659 --> 00:48:38.840
And they have many consistencies depending on your needs, said Gourley.
1069
00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:42.500
Why, there's the IK35B-7.
1070
00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:46.679
I'm casting my vote for Sona right now. I'm considering
1071
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:48.780
that I think that though they look like dildos, they're
1072
00:48:48.820 --> 00:48:50.820
made out of wood like a log cabin. So these
1073
00:48:50.860 --> 00:48:52.699
are like George Washington era dildos.
1074
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:53.500
Yeah.
1075
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:53.719
Yeah.
1076
00:48:54.090 --> 00:48:56.849
I think that I definitely cornered the dildo market. I
1077
00:48:57.170 --> 00:49:00.690
think people who like dildos would like my cabin better.
1078
00:49:00.710 --> 00:49:04.590
I think people who like drawing would like yours.
1079
00:49:04.670 --> 00:49:08.889
Washington era dildos. Common misconception. Not made of wood. Made
1080
00:49:08.909 --> 00:49:09.500
of ivory.
1081
00:49:09.659 --> 00:49:11.840
Oh, so you know a little something about dildos yourself.
1082
00:49:11.900 --> 00:49:13.159
No, I know a lot about history.
1083
00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:13.519
Uh-huh.
1084
00:49:14.099 --> 00:49:14.820
So ivory.
1085
00:49:16.219 --> 00:49:18.989
God, I'm so wanting to throw this your way. I
1086
00:49:19.030 --> 00:49:22.219
have the power
to do this. just reveal these results, Sona.
1087
00:49:22.460 --> 00:49:24.300
Yeah, but the fact that you're gritting your teeth and
1088
00:49:24.340 --> 00:49:27.000
you're frustrated and you don't seem happy right now, even
1089
00:49:27.019 --> 00:49:29.179
though you want Sona to win, I'm a master at
1090
00:49:29.219 --> 00:49:29.900
reading faces.
1091
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:30.960
I have won.
1092
00:49:30.980 --> 00:49:35.739
I have won overwhelmingly. This isn't even close, you know? Yeah.
1093
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.570
This is like the Civil War battle of three forks.
1094
00:49:39.429 --> 00:49:42.929
Or was it five forks? Write in with your answer.
1095
00:49:45.090 --> 00:49:48.860
The results of the second blind drawing contest of a
1096
00:49:49.059 --> 00:49:51.519
log cabin with a smoking chimney and a lumberjack.
1097
00:49:51.579 --> 00:49:52.760
Let's get to the part where I win.
1098
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:53.380
Excuse me.
1099
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:56.019
If people haven't tuned in, they need to know.
1100
00:49:56.639 --> 00:49:56.940
Okay.
1101
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:02.079
Drawing two, Sonos, comes in at 18%.
1102
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:03.670
Drawing number one comes in at 82%.
1103
00:50:03.670 --> 00:50:05.739
18% to 82%.
1104
00:50:09.780 --> 00:50:13.989
Hey, how you feeling now, Goldwater? Do we even get that?
1105
00:50:14.570 --> 00:50:16.289
There's so many young people that don't get that.
1106
00:50:16.610 --> 00:50:20.530
Goldwater ran against Lyndon Johnson in 64. He was crushed.
1107
00:50:20.530 --> 00:50:21.309
82% to 18%.
1108
00:50:21.309 --> 00:50:22.949
That's amazing. This is important. There are 2,204 votes in.
1109
00:50:22.969 --> 00:50:24.710
There are still 20 hours left in this poll.
1110
00:50:24.969 --> 00:50:25.230
Yeah, sure.
1111
00:50:25.269 --> 00:50:26.199
You know, I don't feel good about it.
1112
00:50:35.309 --> 00:50:37.389
We felt it was enough that we could call the election.
1113
00:50:37.429 --> 00:50:38.590
It was like the Nixon lands.
1114
00:50:38.710 --> 00:50:41.469
I prefer the Lyndon Johnson Goldwater example of 64.
1115
00:50:41.469 --> 00:50:42.360
Yeah. Okay.
1116
00:50:42.610 --> 00:50:42.880
All right.
1117
00:50:43.409 --> 00:50:45.860
Or maybe it's just two people who doodled and one
1118
00:50:45.940 --> 00:50:46.679
doodled better.
1119
00:50:47.059 --> 00:50:47.280
Right.
1120
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:47.780
Yeah.
1121
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:50.099
That's possible. One chose a cabin of... You know what?
1122
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.539
There's an old Bible passage that says, when you build
1123
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:58.329
your house upon the sand, you're going to fail. And
1124
00:50:59.750 --> 00:51:01.869
I think you built your cabin upon dildos.
1125
00:51:02.429 --> 00:51:02.730
You know what?
1126
00:51:03.570 --> 00:51:05.619
I would never think to do this, but your hubris
1127
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:08.780
is so large right now that I'm tempted
to challenge.
1128
00:51:08.420 --> 00:51:09.500
You to a drawing contest.
1129
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:10.559
Do it!
1130
00:51:10.659 --> 00:51:12.039
No, no, no. I.
1131
00:51:12.340 --> 00:51:13.530
I don't think you can handle it.
1132
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.179
Well, first of all, Matt, I'm like a Western gunfighter.
1133
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:22.039
I can't fight every goofy hayseed who stumbles into town
1134
00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:23.840
with a rusty six-shooter.
1135
00:51:23.860 --> 00:51:24.780
Do you know what I mean?
1136
00:51:24.820 --> 00:51:27.610
You can if that person gets insulted and pulls a gun.
1137
00:51:27.860 --> 00:51:30.289
Yeah, but your gun that you're going to pull, because
1138
00:51:30.309 --> 00:51:33.139
you just got off the wagon... And you're like, gosh,
1139
00:51:33.179 --> 00:51:34.619
there's Wild Bill Hickok.
1140
00:51:35.179 --> 00:51:36.619
I think I'll take him on.
1141
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.610
And then you whip out this six shooter that your
1142
00:51:40.690 --> 00:51:44.389
pappy gave you, and it's all rusty, and the barrel
1143
00:51:44.449 --> 00:51:47.349
falls off, and all the pieces fall into the mud.
1144
00:51:47.989 --> 00:51:49.969
And you go, oh, Mr. Hickok, can you come back
1145
00:51:50.010 --> 00:51:52.940
here while I assemble my gun? And I'm already gone.
1146
00:51:52.980 --> 00:51:53.780
I'm in the saloon.
1147
00:51:54.780 --> 00:52:00.219
So, no, I can't take the time to walk back.
1148
00:52:00.780 --> 00:52:03.619
and sift through the mud and help you put together
1149
00:52:04.500 --> 00:52:08.340
your ancient pea shooter so that then we can stage
1150
00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:09.440
a contest.
1151
00:52:09.019 --> 00:52:12.820
In which you're killed. You're a coward. No, but you now,
1152
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:14.719
it's just like, huh, I bet I'm a better drawer
1153
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:16.510
than you, and then I'll beat you, and then you'll
1154
00:52:16.530 --> 00:52:18.110
be like, wait a minute, I found a friend who's
1155
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:20.349
good at drawing. Let's get him in here, and now
1156
00:52:20.389 --> 00:52:23.150
you'll draw against him. But what if you don't beat me? Ooh.
1157
00:52:23.230 --> 00:52:23.989
Oh, God.
1158
00:52:26.250 --> 00:52:27.510
This is just depressing.
1159
00:52:27.849 --> 00:52:31.119
You're the worst winner ever. You're such a terrible person
1160
00:52:31.139 --> 00:52:31.679
when you win.
1161
00:52:32.300 --> 00:52:33.530
This is me. Deal with it.
1162
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:35.340
Okay.
1163
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:37.730
You know what I'm doing? I'm patterning myself after Trump.
1164
00:52:38.590 --> 00:52:39.190
I really am.
1165
00:52:39.809 --> 00:52:41.650
He has taught us that when you win, you just
1166
00:52:41.710 --> 00:52:47.050
talk about it incessantly, and that's what I want.
1167
00:52:47.590 --> 00:52:49.730
Well, then I'll be Trump. I won that doodle off
1168
00:52:49.829 --> 00:52:50.829
by a lot of votes.
1169
00:52:50.989 --> 00:52:52.329
Yeah, and did you have Russia help you?
1170
00:52:52.610 --> 00:52:52.989
Yeah.
1171
00:52:53.269 --> 00:52:57.889
I did get assistance from Russia. I got a lot
1172
00:52:57.909 --> 00:52:58.860
of assistance from Russia.
1173
00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:02.099
Okay, we can do a, you and I, let's do a,
1174
00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:04.340
we'll do a drawing contest sometime down the line.
1175
00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:04.440
Okay.
1176
00:53:04.820 --> 00:53:06.820
But let's move on.
1177
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:07.000
Okay.
1178
00:53:07.019 --> 00:53:09.239
Because I do think there's important matters that we need
1179
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:13.199
to address. We have, I'm told, a massive amount of
1180
00:53:13.260 --> 00:53:17.039
listeners out there that are relying on us to guide
1181
00:53:17.059 --> 00:53:18.940
them through this dark period in American history.
1182
00:53:20.050 --> 00:53:22.329
So in this segment, we need to now go to something.
1183
00:53:22.349 --> 00:53:23.670
Do you want to take a voicemail?
1184
00:53:23.949 --> 00:53:24.809
Sure, I'll take a voicemail.
1185
00:53:25.090 --> 00:53:25.170
Okay.
1186
00:53:25.190 --> 00:53:25.329
Okay.
1187
00:53:26.800 --> 00:53:30.070
This isn't a question, because somebody tells Sona to not
1188
00:53:30.090 --> 00:53:35.570
say Freddie Mercury, say Freddie Mir-merc-year-ry. I know I just
1189
00:53:35.610 --> 00:53:36.030
messed up.
1190
00:53:36.750 --> 00:53:37.750
What the fuck? But still.
1191
00:53:38.489 --> 00:53:41.170
She said it about 40 times in the Mark Manon episode.
1192
00:53:42.300 --> 00:53:44.250
Wait a minute.
1193
00:53:44.289 --> 00:53:45.190
What's this guy's name?
1194
00:53:45.210 --> 00:53:46.610
Did I pronounce Mercury wrong?
1195
00:53:46.730 --> 00:53:47.070
You did.
1196
00:53:47.269 --> 00:53:48.469
Do I still pronounce it wrong?
1197
00:53:48.489 --> 00:53:49.489
No, there it was right.
1198
00:53:49.570 --> 00:53:49.969
Mercury.
1199
00:53:50.610 --> 00:53:51.590
No, there you did it wrong.
1200
00:53:51.630 --> 00:53:52.090
Mercury.
1201
00:53:52.269 --> 00:53:54.449
No, Mercury.
1202
00:53:54.809 --> 00:53:55.369
Mercury.
1203
00:53:55.670 --> 00:53:58.610
Yeah, sometimes you go Mercury. Well, okay.
1204
00:53:58.889 --> 00:53:59.380
Okay.
1205
00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:00.079
And you know what?
1206
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:02.840
Let's just back this whole thing up. First of all,
1207
00:54:03.820 --> 00:54:06.579
I love that this guy is getting on his last nerve.
1208
00:54:07.500 --> 00:54:10.920
He heard you on one podcast and he's ready to
1209
00:54:11.059 --> 00:54:14.480
pull his hair out. I've been with you for- Calm down, bro.
1210
00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:17.920
I've been with you for 10 years. You have tormented
1211
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:21.500
me with your actions, and this guy's complaining?
1212
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:22.139
Okay.
1213
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:23.820
Well, all right.
1214
00:54:24.139 --> 00:54:24.480
Okay.
1215
00:54:24.900 --> 00:54:26.019
First of all, I didn't know I was saying the
1216
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:27.960
word wrong, but I also didn't know I pronounced my
1217
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:31.219
Gs hard until you said it every single time I
1218
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:34.500
say a word that's like walking, talking, hangover.
1219
00:54:34.539 --> 00:54:38.400
You always say, you go hangover. And I've tried to
1220
00:54:38.699 --> 00:54:40.840
help you because I want you to assimilate.
1221
00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:41.199
Okay.
1222
00:54:41.219 --> 00:54:42.559
Okay. To this country.
1223
00:54:42.940 --> 00:54:45.760
I was born in this country, but.
1224
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:47.400
We don't know for sure. Yes, we do. There are
1225
00:54:47.440 --> 00:54:48.440
no records of your birth.
1226
00:54:48.500 --> 00:54:48.960
There are.
1227
00:54:49.099 --> 00:54:51.559
It's called the birth certificate. It is the record of
1228
00:54:51.619 --> 00:54:54.219
my birth, and it is from Montebello, California.
1229
00:54:54.239 --> 00:55:01.110
I've asked your parents to produce records, and they shrugged,
1230
00:55:01.699 --> 00:55:05.849
and then they handed over some leaves, and I said,
1231
00:55:05.909 --> 00:55:06.650
those are leaves.
1232
00:55:08.179 --> 00:55:09.349
Now, listen, I love them.
1233
00:55:09.389 --> 00:55:09.889
They're great.
1234
00:55:09.929 --> 00:55:11.489
The Armenian people are a great and proud people.
1235
00:55:11.510 --> 00:55:12.469
They are. And you know what?
1236
00:55:12.829 --> 00:55:15.530
Going off of that, I was raised by immigrants. I
1237
00:55:15.550 --> 00:55:17.710
was surrounded by immigrants. And a lot of the words
1238
00:55:17.789 --> 00:55:20.570
I say are incorrect. And I used to sing questions.
1239
00:55:21.030 --> 00:55:24.699
I can't say the word brewery or prerequisite. I can't
1240
00:55:24.780 --> 00:55:27.300
say those words. There are a lot of things I
1241
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:28.159
say incorrectly.
1242
00:55:28.179 --> 00:55:29.099
What was brewery?
1243
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:31.099
A place where they make beer.
1244
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:32.039
Is it brewery?
1245
00:55:32.460 --> 00:55:32.900
Brewery.
1246
00:55:33.940 --> 00:55:34.639
You can't do it?
1247
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:35.820
I can't say it.
1248
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:36.320
Say it again.
1249
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:38.519
Brewery. Brewery?
1250
00:55:39.699 --> 00:55:43.530
Can you say the fine English clothing maker Burberry?
1251
00:55:43.550 --> 00:55:44.369
Can you say that?
1252
00:55:44.510 --> 00:55:45.050
Burberry.
1253
00:55:45.210 --> 00:55:46.829
Say I bought some Burberry at the brewery.
1254
00:55:46.889 --> 00:55:49.090
I bought some Burberry at the brewery.
1255
00:55:49.250 --> 00:55:49.449
What?
1256
00:55:49.690 --> 00:55:53.010
This sucks so hard. Say I got some Burberry. I
1257
00:55:53.050 --> 00:55:54.820
bought Burberry at the brewery.
1258
00:55:55.579 --> 00:55:56.659
For Freddie Mercury.
1259
00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:57.099
Yeah.
1260
00:55:57.179 --> 00:55:59.800
I bought Burberry at the brewery for Freddie Mercury.
1261
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:02.659
Okay, you're having a total meltdown. This is so stupid.
1262
00:56:03.039 --> 00:56:04.099
Here's the thing, though.
1263
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:06.500
A lot of the words that I say incorrectly are
1264
00:56:06.539 --> 00:56:09.280
because I was saturated with a lot of accents growing up,
1265
00:56:09.340 --> 00:56:09.679
I think.
1266
00:56:09.780 --> 00:56:10.139
It is true.
1267
00:56:10.179 --> 00:56:12.280
Your parents have very thick accents.
1268
00:56:12.340 --> 00:56:14.929
No, well, my mom has a thicker accent than my
1269
00:56:14.969 --> 00:56:16.340
dad came here in the 60s.
1270
00:56:16.389 --> 00:56:19.570
He's fine. He's not that bad. But it's not just him.
1271
00:56:19.619 --> 00:56:22.650
It's all my aunts and uncles. I speak three languages,
1272
00:56:23.090 --> 00:56:25.190
so I can do that. What is his name? What's
1273
00:56:25.230 --> 00:56:28.070
this guy's name? First of all, fuck this guy.
1274
00:56:29.750 --> 00:56:31.170
Yeah, that was, I didn't like his tone.
1275
00:56:31.210 --> 00:56:32.429
I didn't either.
1276
00:56:32.489 --> 00:56:34.409
I'm going to stick up for you. I did not
1277
00:56:34.429 --> 00:56:36.010
like his tone at all. And if he were here,
1278
00:56:36.070 --> 00:56:37.550
I would beat him within an inch of his life.
1279
00:56:37.690 --> 00:56:38.469
Yes, thank you.
1280
00:56:38.769 --> 00:56:44.039
But he's not here. So we can only imagine the
1281
00:56:44.059 --> 00:56:44.940
beating that he would have.
1282
00:56:46.860 --> 00:56:48.199
Thank you for sticking.
1283
00:56:47.900 --> 00:56:50.480
Up for my honor. No, I do stick up for you.
1284
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:52.920
You're my friend. I care about you. And I don't
1285
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:58.929
like someone being snide to you. What I do find
1286
00:56:59.010 --> 00:57:02.650
interesting is that Freddie Mercury is one of your all-time heroes.
1287
00:57:02.710 --> 00:57:03.829
You love Freddie Mercury.
1288
00:57:03.889 --> 00:57:04.949
I do love him, sure.
1289
00:57:05.110 --> 00:57:08.769
And so it's interesting that you would mispronounce his name
1290
00:57:08.869 --> 00:57:09.409
of all names.
1291
00:57:09.429 --> 00:57:09.909
Do you know what I mean?
1292
00:57:10.150 --> 00:57:14.659
I didn't know I was mispronounced. Do you pronounce everything perfectly?
1293
00:57:14.820 --> 00:57:15.400
I do, yes.
1294
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:16.159
That's not true.
1295
00:57:17.300 --> 00:57:17.800
I'm sorry.
1296
00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:23.340
But I edit this podcast and you say mortgage.
1297
00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:23.980
Instead of what?
1298
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:24.199
Mortgage.
1299
00:57:24.219 --> 00:57:26.960
Mortgage. I say, what do you mean mortgage?
1300
00:57:27.300 --> 00:57:29.800
You say, I got to
pay off my beach house mortgage.
1301
00:57:29.820 --> 00:57:30.989
Yeah, you know why I do that?
1302
00:57:31.010 --> 00:57:31.739
Oh, well, well, well.
1303
00:57:32.030 --> 00:57:34.010
Do you know why I do that? Why? Do you
1304
00:57:34.030 --> 00:57:35.670
know why I do that? No, I don't.
1305
00:57:36.010 --> 00:57:39.570
I do it because it has a folksy charm. And
1306
00:57:39.610 --> 00:57:43.510
I do it intentionally because if a celebrity says, I
1307
00:57:43.550 --> 00:57:47.789
have to pay off my mortgage, then people say, what
1308
00:57:47.809 --> 00:57:48.190
a dick.
1309
00:57:48.610 --> 00:57:50.010
Who cares? You're a celebrity.
1310
00:57:50.030 --> 00:57:52.179
You probably have the money to pay it off. We
1311
00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:54.239
don't want to hear about your problems, probably with a
1312
00:57:54.260 --> 00:57:57.940
supermodel right now, you know? But I always say, I
1313
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:00.119
got to pay off my mortgage.
1314
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:01.840
You never say it like that.
1315
00:58:01.860 --> 00:58:02.119
I do.
1316
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:03.340
Like a sexy baby?
1317
00:58:03.500 --> 00:58:03.780
No.
1318
00:58:04.539 --> 00:58:07.340
It's got a little bit of a Midwestern twang when
1319
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:07.860
I do it.
1320
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:08.579
And I do it on purpose.
1321
00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:10.619
Yeah, but you shimmied your shoulders when you.
1322
00:58:10.500 --> 00:58:11.119
Say, oh.
1323
00:58:11.159 --> 00:58:13.039
I got to pay off my mortgage. It's got a
1324
00:58:13.059 --> 00:58:16.980
little bit of the late Carol Channing in it. It's
1325
00:58:17.260 --> 00:58:19.829
what I'm doing. Is I'm being folksy.
1326
00:58:19.909 --> 00:58:20.469
Yeah.
1327
00:58:20.510 --> 00:58:23.550
Yeah, I do that intentionally. I am a master wordsmith.
1328
00:58:24.190 --> 00:58:28.460
I'm a professional speaker of words. And anytime you think
1329
00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:32.369
that I'm mispronouncing something, there is an intention behind it.
1330
00:58:32.500 --> 00:58:35.380
Even when you asked her parents to papoose her birth certificate?
1331
00:58:35.510 --> 00:58:37.340
Yeah, you messed that word up.
1332
00:58:37.730 --> 00:58:42.269
No, that's actually, that was a mini stroke. That doesn't
1333
00:58:42.309 --> 00:58:45.889
count as mispronouncing when you have a cerebral occlusion.
1334
00:58:46.090 --> 00:58:46.349
Okay.
1335
00:58:47.070 --> 00:58:48.409
Now, back to Sona.
1336
00:58:48.570 --> 00:58:50.820
Well, actually, can we continue on you for a second?
1337
00:58:50.840 --> 00:58:51.050
Sure.
1338
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:54.000
Because you also came from a family that has a
1339
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:54.780
lot of accents.
1340
00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:57.199
I don't think I have it. It creeps in.
1341
00:58:57.260 --> 00:58:59.559
New England creeps in when you talk sometimes.
1342
00:58:59.579 --> 00:59:00.760
It creeps in.
1343
00:59:00.780 --> 00:59:03.309
I hate that I'm mispronouncing words right now.
1344
00:59:04.030 --> 00:59:07.849
But anyway, I think Sona should get a pass because
1345
00:59:08.309 --> 00:59:10.150
the fact that you're speaking, which as well as you do.
1346
00:59:10.230 --> 00:59:14.860
Is a miracle. You've been here, whatever, six years, seven years?
1347
00:59:15.300 --> 00:59:15.429
What?
1348
00:59:15.489 --> 00:59:18.099
I've been working for you for 10 years.
1349
00:59:18.260 --> 00:59:19.519
Okay.
1350
00:59:19.860 --> 00:59:26.880
You came to America and... No, this is a big...
1351
00:59:27.099 --> 00:59:28.909
Remember the first day you came to work? And you
1352
00:59:28.949 --> 00:59:32.150
were frightened by the elevator? And I said, you said
1353
00:59:32.250 --> 00:59:36.659
magic room took me to, and I was like, no, no.
1354
00:59:37.500 --> 00:59:39.219
Let's use the stairs and we'll talk about that later.
1355
