There is a shot in Tropic Thunder of a pile of heroin on a table, and I swear it tracks just like the mashed potato shot in CE3K.

Fun Fact: It was Richard Dreyfus sculpting a potato mountain in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

Did you ask Stewart why he ignored war victims to interview & laugh with Jacinda Ardern

You have less to lose than you think. THAT is doubtless the right way to live.

This is seriously good therapy. Sorry, but you all should stop and think about how you’re helping people.

I happened to notice around 30 seconds into it they did a wide shot, and as Conan was droning on seriously, Sona was busy wrapping her curled headphone cord around her finger. I first wondered if she was doing crochet or macrame quietly. Then I couldn't pay attention to anything while waiting for another wide shot to see if she was still at it. She stops around the halfway point, but I kept wishing Conan would notice and go on a 5 minute rant about it.

It's too bad these two hadn't been poverty stricken when they finished school ,their angst would have been silent in comparison with the ceaseless screech of starvation & exhaustive manual labor.Had they been of age from the mid 1960's to 1973 their personal "discomfort" would have been solved by being drafted & going on a adventure to Southeast Asia. Being conscripted to serve in a war tends to help one make life's little decisions come into clear focus. These two are becoming too full of themselves.
Get Sona another gig, her unrelenting ,manic laughter is getting very old. I doubt she actually understands much of what is actually said.

Sona adds nothing but forced laughter to this program.

Jon is correct, he said this podcast is positive and funny, it radiates funny, I always feel good after watching Conan and friends.

Im a weirdo, let me get that out of the way, but it would make me laugh so much if one episode, everyone lowers their chairs as much as possible, so you can just see their head and hands at the table, for an entire episode, dont mention it, it's just reality now…

Can’t wait for this last bastion of terribly unfunny late night shows to finally get canceled like the rest of them. You all know he hates Palestine right?

There was that whole thing in American Graffiti where the “Curt” character tries to order mashed potatoes at the drive-in and the carhop says “do you mean french fried potatoes, honey?”
