Joel McHale (Full Episode) | Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Actor, comedian, and television host Joel McHale feels blank about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.

weed isn’t legal in Wisconsin! It’s rural enough that you can get away with it often but the police will follow you through a winter storm in the backwoods if they suspect you’ve got weed on you

Great interview. Love Conan and Joel. And 100% on the Oyster fear. Like them, they're ok, but some come with a healthy side of food poisoning

Garfield was shot in the railroad station. Garfield had no bodyguard or security detail; early presidents did not employ them, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War.

Between Conan’s illegal weapons and Bley’s tax scam, Kash Patel’s eyes are going to get even wider I don’t his face will be able to handle it

From Wisconsin, and weed is not fully legal. You can smoke weaker delta 9 products and certain types of gummies and thc oil but they have a limit. We still gotta go to Illinois for the real good stuff.

I love how when Conan describes the worst episodes he's really describing the best ones — Kevin Nealon comes to mind

Weed is not legal in Wisconsin. It's surrounded by states where weed is legal. – Someone from Wisconsin.

OK, Conan, if I saw you walking into a theater, my first thought would be please don’t sit in front of me! Love ya, but I’m a shorty who likes to be able to see the stage. 😉
