Amy Poehler Loves Watching The “Below Deck” Crew Clean The Boat | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
Someone told me and I just wanna I wanna. because my wife has a fascination with. the show Below Deck. I watch Below Deck and I don't get it. And my wife is very smart and she has. excellent taste, but when she's watching. Below Deck, I'm like, I don't. understand. Not that much is happening. I love that she loves Below Deck. That's. a sign of a smart lady. I don't watch I. do not watch a lot of reality TV. Um I. don't like people getting embarrassed. and people get embarrassed on on every. reality show. So, but I don't like like. or like fake fake drama. But what I like.
about Below Deck, and I wonder if your. wife feels the same, is when they clean. the boat. They have to Sure. That's it. They have. to turn over the boat. They have to get. it clean. And every time it's like, are. they going to make it? We don't like So, there's some weird thing where your. brain, it's almost like it's like. watching a um some like a a set be. reset. You're watching it get reset. and I like clear delineations of power.
who is in charge. So there is a captain. like whether or not you like the captain. you know that's your problem but the. chain of command is very clear. Yes. And. there's the head you know there's the. head of the I should know all these. names having watched it but so many. iterations of it now and so people have. to report to each other and that kind of. status stuff really makes me laugh. Um, but you're right. You're right. It's the. cleaning of the boat. There is something. about I, you know, there'll be like.
young, good-looking couples that hook up. on the boat. And I find that that isn't. as exciting to me as I get into the chef. has to make a meal and it's always these. incredibly entitled rich people and. incredible. You know what I mean? And. they're always there and they're like, "This is for my wife's anniversary." And. then they'll say things like, maybe it's. fake, but they'll say at 11:00 in the. morning, you know, we want tonight's. theme to be, and then they announce some. insane theme. They're on a boat in the. middle of the Aian, you know, sea, and.
they're suddenly scrambling around. trying to find, okay, the theme is. volcanoes. They're building little. volcanoes. People are dressing up as the. cook has to make, the chef has to make. the food for everybody. It's always. going wrong. And then it it comes. together. Yeah. And I that's very. satisfying. And then what do you have to. do at the end? You got to clean the. boat. You got to turn it over. You got to get. the sheets done. You got to spray the. deck and the aft. You can't just You got.
to clean it. You know, you might be on to something. And maybe Adam, I'm just going to throw. this out there. We should include a. segment where we're like hosing this. table down. Oh my god. By the way, I. would wash the out of that. If you. ASMR this table and you you put soap on. it and then you washed it, wiped it down. and marbles on it and then the sound of. the marbles and you had to pick the. marbles up. And Eduardo designed this so. he's freaking out that we're getting. soapy water. Happy to clean this table. every every host session. But like we.
could make that a new thing on the show. If these mics could be made out of. kinetic sand, I would appreciate that. just so I could play around with that. All these cool tactile. That's. incredible. Yeah, this is so good for. for podcast. People love it. But I can't I don't. really watch any other I don't like any. I don't like people being embarrassed or. stressed on TV. It gets me very. stressed. I hate pranks. I hate pranks. And and um I always my whole life if. someone wanted to do a prank on someone.
my mind would always go what if someone. gets hurt. Yeah. I don't know why it. could even be just the simplest prank. and I think I don't know someone could. get hurt and end up paralyzed and people. would be like what are you talking. about? We're just giving them a birthday. cake but it's not their birthday. I'm. like yeah I don't know. Someone could. end up paralyzed. I don't know why I. always went to that. Yeah. Pranks feel. very Gen X. It's like we grew up with a. lot of pranks like Candid Camera and. then later on um you know Knoxville and. and uh Ashton and Jackass and Punk and.
so we had a lot of pranks in our life. and maybe we just got pranked out. pranked out but I don't like pranks and. if if someone did a prank to me I would. feel like they hate me. Yes. Like I. would feel super sad. Yeah. If like I've. never I don't even I've never had a. surprise birthday thrown for me. The one. time I think it was going to happen, I. found out and I I kind of put a kibash. on it because to me a surprise party is. a evil evil act of treachery.
Betrayal. Yeah, betrayal. Yeah, it's a. prank. Anyway, you're launching this. weekly video podcast, Good Hang with Amy. Polar. It's going to come out this. March. I will be listening to this. podcast. I'd be thrilled to do it if you. ever want me on. I thank you for saying. that. No, seriously, I would I would. love to do it.

It's a gift that those all those years. ago you came into my life and were so.
funny and elevated everything on our. show. Not everything, but a lot of. things. Um why did I have to correct. that? No, I but any sketches you were in. and it was just it was just a magical. time. And I do feel nostalgic, too. I do. too. I feel and I have to say like the. beginnings of things are the most tender. time where everybody's the most tender. Yeah. And you were so kind to not only. me but UCB and everybody during that. time. You gave a lot of us our start. So, thank you very much. I'm glad I get. to say that. Like a little bit of a cut. Yes.
