A Fan Fought The Burglar Who Stole Her Conan T-Shirt | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Okay. We found that something very. interesting happened with a fan of yours. and more specifically some merchandise. from this podcast. Okay. And this comes. from Instagram. We're going to take a. listen to it or watch it if you're. watching this on YouTube. Okay. Let's take a look. I fought a burglar for wearing my Conan. O'Brien needs a friend t-shirt. There. was a man in my house and I told him, you know, this is my house. Get out. Then I saw he was wearing my Conan.

O'Brien's t-shirt. I ordered him to take. it off. He did not. And so I did a. stupid thing and I went up to him. I. pushed him a little bit and yanked the. shirt right off of him. You might be. thinking, "Yeah, that is stupid. Why. would you react that way? It's just a. shirt." And I think it's partially. because what that shirt represented to. me at that time. All the comedians I had.

watched, I told them they they saved me. when I saw him. wearing a shirt that represented why I. like living. I love laughing. I love. comedy. I love all of that. All the friends that I've made. I snap. Oh my god. Happiest day of my life. I. did meet him. Best day of 2024. Um he.

still doesn't know the story because he. just signed my shirt, took this picture, and left. It was like midnight. So this comes to us from an Instagram. usern named True Travels of Hope. My first thought is that were you the. burglar just trying to get the shirt? Yes, I do try to um reuse merchandise as. much as possible. So whenever because we. know where our merchandise is sent and. so I try to go there. So I'm often in my.

downtime patrolling the Midwest, uh the southern states, the southwest. and the Pacific Northwest, uh looking. for people wearing Conan merchant and I. just try to reclaim it as best I can so. we can sell it a second time. That's what it was. And I do sometimes take other stuff. while I'm in the houses. Might as well. I noticed cuz she's. wearing one of those shirts for the. podcast that say I feel blank about. being Conan O'Brien's friend. And. there's a spot where you can literally. fill it in with a marker and she has not.

done that. She's still not sure how she. feels. Uh well, what do we think of this story? I really wish she wouldn't have. confronted this robber. Yes, I'm going to say that too. I think. and I want to say this to all my fans. Um, if someone and and first of all, let. me start by saying to this woman, True. Travels of Hope. True Travels of Hope, I. want to say to True Travels of Hope that. I very much appreciate that you're a. loyal fan and that uh our nonsense has.

has meant something to you. And so, this. comes from the bottom of my heart. Our. merchandise is not worth risking your. life for. Um, this is very shoddy material. Uh, it's often repurposed. These are. Some of it might be toxic and. endangering you. Exactly. Yeah. That's an old Friday. Night Lights shirt uh that we Yeah. that. we spray painted over um using a really. an outofdate spray paint. Uh so, no, do. not risk your life. Do not approach a.

burglar. If if anyone approaches you and. says um you know, give me that Conan. O'Brien merch, uh just give it up. Just. give it up. Honey, you should say that. she shouldn't approach him because I. feel like the first thing that you would. I would absolutely approach him. Not for a Conan O'Brien shirt. Not for No, but like. but if someone was wearing like your. share shirt. Oh, if someone was in my house and like. first of all, he just put a shirt on. I know. Um. also, here's another thing. She said she. ripped it off like he's a stripper.

Like it's a tearway shirt. I think the. shirts are so threadbear and cheap that. you can just rip them off. or most Conan. most people that own Conan merch are so. and I'm speak about myself in the third. person so love Conan that they rarely. take it off and it becomes threadbear. more quickly hence easily to tear. uh so I think that's a possibility I. don't know I I I don't think people. should be um should be risking their. lives for Conan merch.

no. especially the mugs I mean the mugs. often explode uh that's been proven. mugs can be good weapons Yeah. No, not. not our mugs. They just turn to powder. the minute you hit someone. But it's. it's nice. She did say we met, but she. doesn't say where we met. She said it. was midnight. And I can't tell from the. picture where we were. So maybe it's when I broke back into the. house to get the shirt back after my. initial failed attempt. It would it would have been really funny. if you were just like an absolute dick. to her. If you were just like, I don't.

like taking pictures. But that's the opposite. He broke back. into the house so he could get a selfie. and so he could I'm the guy that asks. people, "Would you like a selfie?". Yes. When often they don't even have a. phone. The sirens are down the street and he. breaks back in going, "I haven't signed. your shirt yet. Would you like me to sign it?". That would be more likely. Okay. But um well, I I'm I'm glad she got her. shirt back. I'm glad she's okay. I'm glad she's. okay. But I do think we should take a.

lesson away from this that um you know. look if it's Marvel merchandise. Yes. Fight for your life to get it back. That's the weird thing. What's the. motivation of the burglar? What this is. what they decide to take? You know. Well, first of all, okay, that now. you're being a dick. Well, I'm on this podcast. When I used to steal. Yes. I used to just be like, can I do it? Oh. And so it wasn't about stealing. It was. about. could like and also I got very arrogant. Like I would wear a bracelet in a store. and I just be like I'm going to walk out.

wearing the bracelet. I remember once Sona um I Sona and I. were in Western Massachusetts and there. is an armory there and there's a an. armor museum a museum of like Flemish. British uh French armor. from 18th and 19th century and we were. in there and this is during Sona's let. me see if I can get away with this. phase. Sona walked out wearing a full. suit of armor.

If you act like you were wearing it in, they would just be like, "Oh, she's just. leaving in the outfit.". It was from 1622. And it had all this fancy filigree on. it. And so the guy said, "Excuse me, miss. I think you." And she was like, "What? What? I was wearing this on the. way in. You're racist.". Oh my god. Remember when you said you're. racist and you had the visor down so he. didn't even know, right? He didn't know who you were, right?

Look, he had no thing against I liked. just like showing, hey, I just took it. Yeah. And it's, you know, most of the time if. you walk out confidently, people are. just going to be like, of armor. that you stole from Worcester, Massachusetts, and you you should give. it back. That was such a buildup to what you were. going to say. There was so much just. information. Well, listen. Always museum did we go to? There's a there's a Can you look up the. uh what's this? The Museum of Armor.

We're factchecking this. Yes. This fake story. What is happening? It really happened. It really happened. Western, Massachusetts. Museum of Armor. Come on. I'm working on it. What do you mean I'm working on it, old. lady? Higgins Armory. Yes. Higgins Armory. It was the one. thing when I would go visit my cousins. every time my aunt would say it would be. raining out and we'd be like we got. nothing to do and what is there to do in. Worcester and she'd say go to the Museum. of Armor.

Oh my god. And so we drive over to the Higgins. Museum of Armor. And there was no attempt to make it look. interesting. Just literally a giant. warehouse then and someone had lots of. suits of armor that they just laid out. They didn't even put mannequins in them. I feel like you would enjoy that, though. Did you act like you weren't. excited because you didn't want your. cousins to think you were. Truth be told? Yeah. Greatest days of my life. Boy, did this little orange-haired boy. love a suit of armor.

Oh, look. It's Dutch. Hey, Luke. Hey, Neil. I found one that's. Dutch. And then the beatings commenced. Anyway, take care fans. Don't stop crime and visit the Higgins. Armor Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts.
