Andy Daly & Matt Gourley Are Watching Every Episode Of “Bonanza” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

I know you guys work together you and Mr. Matt gorley work together on many. projects uh you guys uh do a uh what is. it bananas for Bonanza that's right yeah. which is uh basically and you get to. play a character you played on my show. several times Dalton Wilcox yes who's. kind of a poet of the West yeah well. he's the poet laureate of the West as a. matter of fact a cowboy poet and his big. fan of Bonanza and uh yeah it's a. rewatch it's like a rewatch show of. Bonanza yeah except that I Andy Daly.

have no particular interest in Bonanza. right but uh the character of Dalton. Wilcox really does so I'm in this. bizarre position in life where now I do. a podcast about Bonanza because a. character I play would you know what I. mean oh yeah so now we are watching. every episode bananza there are 431. episodes of Bonanza there's only 431. unfortunately I know it's too bad and. we've only got 300 some left uh yeah. we're we're about to do number 61 so. we're racing through dark.

days so uh couple of questions has Adam. left the show yet noell Roberts he's. still in the show oh he's still in he he. doesn't leave till after season five we. did Skip ahead to one episode where hos. has a runin with with a bunch of. leprechauns that's true we did the uh. you know what's so funny I I know a lot. about the show Bonanza because my. brother Neil uh who is a TV off ficado. especially 50s 60s and early 70s his. go-to is Bonanza he's watched them allow.

he's watched many of them several times. um and as a result because you know I's. my brother I love my brother I go hang. with him and I end up watching Bonanza. too the tone shift on that show from. episode to episode is insane we have a. theory about that that for a long time. they were just collecting unaired pilots. and tailoring them to Bonanza because. often a lot of the characters aren't. even in it they'll just be two brothers. and a father well you know what's so. funny though is like you're watching.

episode and it's really dark it's like. you know uh an old Confederate general. who won't accept that the Civil Wars. over comes to town and he you know he. captures you know uh Little Joe and. whips him and keeps him in a cave and is. going to kill him and they the other. family members get him out just in time. and it's harrowing and they end up. beating the guy to death who was tried. to whip Little Joe and it ends when. you're like oh my God that was rough and.

my brother Neil would say like let's. watch the next one and they like all. right and it's like Little Joe and hos. they buy a donkey and and and and they. buy a donkey because they think the. donkey has you know can race can be in a. race and their dad's like you bought a. donkey and there's comic stings like oh. the music threw out one of those comic. and they'll cut to the donkey. and and and it's all very silly and. you're like oh my God okay and then you. watch the next one Adam's been kidnapped.

yeah they're cutting him with knives and. sending pieces of him to the Bonanza. family and telling them you're not going. to see him again and it's just like in. the end they they find the guy who's. cutting off pieces of Adam and they beat. him to death and then the next and then. the next. episode then the next episod chickens. Paul what did you what have you what. have you two idiots done now Paul we. bought an ostrich that can read mind.

[Applause]. I got to be on this podcast you you. absolutely must I I definitely want to. be on it it's uh I I I'm obsessed with. Bonanza strangely enough Robert Alman. directed eight or nine episodes of. Bonanza and so uh Pat and oswal has been. our guest for every one of those he. Choice his choice he said I'd like to. come on and discuss every Robert Alman. director episode of B you should tell. them about our quest to buy a bananza. steakhous oh yeah well so there are no. Bonanza or Ponderosa steakhouses anymore.

uh no but there there are none west of. like Missouri or something like that. there's only a few in in the Northeast. but there's a bunch internationally. strangely like in Dubai or and what's. really weird Dubai what's really weird. is there are four on Staten. Island and it's Each corner of the of an. intersection they had a hard time in Co. to be fair because it's mostly salad bar. and nobody was in the mood for that. sneez guard. didn't old people but so we decided we. were going to try to open one and we. called the the guy at fat Brands which.

is like the the fast food Consortium. that owns both of those Brands and uh. yeah we were completely rejected well we. called him in character we did call him. a character and oh well okay I sense a. problem here you called in so do the. phone call just hello is this is this. fellow from fat Brands my name is Dalton. Willcox who but Dalton Willcox I'm the. poet laurate of the West and um I'm a a. true American Cowboy okay I don't want. to do this sir well hang on just a. second before you hang up I just want to.

talk to you about open the Ponder roast. and banan steak cast we got an abandoned. Pier One. Import and we're in there anyway most. days sir no please sir now we'd keep the. bead curtains uh I I I uh I love that I. love that I just I he didn't fall for it. for one second it is true like right. from the very beginning of the call he. was like well uh you're clearly media. and let me refer you to our media person. he said you're clearly doing an improv. based character.

my guess is you've had Second City but. I'm going to say UCB. training this is probably for an audio. medium probably a. podcast uh you also probably work as an. actor on the side yeah I'm not. interested we also I think we stupidly. asked him if if he would consent to. being recorded or something like so. right from that point he was like no but. we did use the transcript and had a. voice reenactor replay it on the podcast. so you can listen on the patreon I. believe right yes but that implies that.

we did record him even after he said no. we by we did it by legally we did it by. memory good save says the. lawyer uh you have a dream to open up a. business called not a problem I'm so. glad you mentioned this and uh thank you. and it's not it's it's KNN o a problem. not a problem tell us about this store. one thing I really enjoy doing around. the house is untangling things. headphones.

Marionette. strings. uh which which do you have more of. headphones or marionette mostly Mar you. when you're working your marionette and. you're using your headphones at the same. time it's a messet and if the. marionette has headphones don't even get. me started yeah sometimes members of my. family will will wash clothes and they. won't realize that they've got multiple. pairs of headphones and marionettes in. their pockets and so when that comes out. of the dryer that's my day to keep you. on track the business you want open is.

called oh I'm fully on track not a. problem you know what I'm doing right. now I'm untangling this conversation. I've not left the topic at all so I yes. I would like to open a store where. people bring in their difficult to. untangle things and I will just I'll. just sit there and I'll uh I'll untangle. it for them while they wait I'll do it. while you wait and uh it's a pay what. you think is right kind of. situation what do we bring in this year. nothing um wow I mean okay well good for.

you I think my busy season will be uh. Christmas time people bring out the. lights you know the Christmas tree. lights that's going to be a huge are you. is this something you really are good at. I think I am good at it yes I am I'm. good at detangling things like. jewelry jewelry is a tough one I'm not. sure about jewelry okay I have tried. that and and the result is broken. jewelry but maybe you would just make my. wife sometimes has like Tangled jewelry. and I say I'll do it and I take a to the. garage and I use a wire cutter to cut it.

all. apart and then I crudely tape it back. together and when she's the least bit. upset I say you asked for my help and I. did it this the thanks I. again and then I drink yeah yeah kind of. works as long as yeah so I might might. put up an advisory like a sign that says. I'm happy to try your jewelry the result. will be broken jewelry and I'll be drunk. something like that and angry at you.

does your mind ever quiet down I'm. trying to think of Andy daily at night. trying to go to sleep are there. characters bouncing around in your head. uh do you are you able to quiet that. mind of. yours uh yeah I do get to sleep. eventually most nights MH uh yeah I I. listen to something boring like this. podcast okay that's. just that's a sick burn that's a. terrible thing to say no I'm only. teasing no no no no that came from the.

heart the BBC World News is what I. listen to to get to sleep I have to hear. I have to listen to that and then I I I. absorb bad news from around that doesn't. give you bad dreams or bad do sometimes. but they say it in that clipped British. way that's very calming yeah exactly you. know a heat Dome across the globe. destroying all humankind. killed leddon good night good noise and. they leave you with a with a light story. usually oh do they about a chimney sweep. that.
