Andy Daly & Matt Gourley Try To Figure Out How Long They’ve Been Pals | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

how long have you and Matt gorley been. working together um we started doing a. podcast together in. 2014 that was the and then you came on. super ego that would have been like. 2011 uhhuh so yeah that's when I first. met you so however many years that is. between then and now 13 years could be. Jesus so intimidated by math yes 2014. whatever that could be I guess we'll. never know well I don't know it's 2024.

now so I think it's a pretty round. number well good luck to you good luck. never been. done here's some paper there's not a man. alive who could. calculate the distance between 2014 and. 2024 many have tried and gone. mad gone quite insane wasn't there some. puzzle at like CIA headquarters or. something like that that you would sit. and you would try to solve this puzzle. and then it turned out to have been. print did wrong there was no solution.

really I believe so cuz Dan Brown wrote. a book about that after the D Vinci Code. yeah all right aot all my information is. from Dan Brown books so you're not. widely read but you're very deeply read. Nar if Dan Brown wrote it you know all. about it know all about. it yes Opus day oh yeah I don't know you. know what that is oh oh because I'm. Catholic yeah exactly well how were you. raised in what religious State yeah same. Catholic were you raised Catholic but we. were allowed to stop after first.

communion allowed to. stop what age are you and you can stop. now eight when you're eight and so right. then you you said I'm out yeah yeah they. were like you you can keep going to the. confirmation thing which is like at that. point six years away or you can stop and. I said oh that stopping sounds great let. me stop being a Catholic at the age of. eight have you been tempted by another. religion no not at all oh come on what. you want to sell me on one yeah.

sure I think you'd be a Buddhist oh okay. yeah what does that entail just you're. very calm yeah that's it yeah centered. rub your belly a lot that's not it no. it's not it what is it belly you don't. rub your belly you rub the budh is belly. you rub the I think well you don't know. anything about Buddhism when I see. people with a big belly I always just. reach over and rub it no you can't do. that that's going to be the next me too. cuz I you know it's going to be that I. if I see someone with a big big old.

belly I'm talking about a fell a fell. with a big old belly I always lean over. and I give it a little rub and I I'm. just going to give you a you got a big. old belly I'm going to get a little rub. little rub duub duub they love it right. no they always get very angry oh. interesting and I say hey chubs okay. take it down a notch I don't know why. they get so. mad strange not a good idea this a bad. idea yeah there's probably some. questions you want to ask me I'm one of. your Heroes wait I don't recall him. saying that I didn't get that impression.

at all you know I was really bummed out. cuz I was looking at your comedy Heroes. here oh John Belushi Steve Martin George. Carlin Martin Short period what no. there's so many more than that it's. Conan O'Brien for instance yeah would be. on there you up big time should. have been a period there you were. watching me as a child when I was on in. the 50s and 60s sure I was yes yes no no. no how old would you have been in N 1993. when I come on the scene 22 years old.

yes I can well remember uh sitting. around uh with friends and watching your. show we were that excited about a new. host at. 1235 and uh GA gather around to watch it. did you say to yourself I'm gonna one. day be his good friend I did not I would. never would have dreamed of it no but I. do remember s watching that first show. with John Goodman and Tony Randall and. uh and saying this show.

cannot uh be this good a second time. like I really was like it can't be that. we had a good we had a good. had I'm I'm serious I was like that that. is so above and beyond what a late night. comedy talk show wants to try to be that. like unable we were swinging for the. fences on the first one and actually the. first couple and then we started to get. really we started to realize oh wait we. have to do thousands of these I know.

can't have like a but the idea of doing. scripted sketches scripted bits in the. context of like people weren't really. doing that quite to have somebody come. in like um John Glazer and all those. hilarious people one of them was your. roommate Andy Blitz yeah Andy Blitz Andy. Blitz used to be the Channing guy in the. audience uh he had a couple of. characters and uh I remember he I don't. think he was there from the very. beginning he was not there from the. beginning yeah Andy Blitz and I went to. high school together and uh have friends.

ever since we did comedy together in. high school and then he he wrote for you. for all many years many many years and. he hasn't changed at all every time I. see Andy Blitz he hasn't uh changed the. way he dresses he still dresses like a. 22-year-old comedy writer even though by. my calculations now he's. 81 again that math it's just about. impossible to do can't be done math is a. Bermuda Triangle they'll never figure. out how to add or subtract really yeah. no no way yeah but I watched your show.

every single night until I was on it and. then I saw like oh once once you get. this close to it it's not that great. yeah also you met you met the true. monster you saw con O'Brien the real. Conan O'Brian I like listen daily you're. going to come through today are you're a. dead man. see no it's it's strange I'm sure you've. had this like a show that you've seen on. television so many times and then you're. actually.

in it you're there it's really really. weird it's bizarre like the space. doesn't seem at all like it seems on. television that's kind of the magic of. that studio uh which I inherited from. David Letterman he did his show from. want to say 82 to 93 there and we did. ours uh 93 to 2009 and it's a small. Studio it was meant to be a little radio. studio and when Robert Smigel and I saw.

it we thought well no this isn't big. enough it's got to be bigger and we've. got to figure out ways cuz we and then. you realize no everything you need to do. must be done in this space and you and. limitations it's what I always go back. to limitations are your friend any kind. of limit people that think no no bigger. bigger it's got to you know we need an. opera house no you don't you just need. the space that you were assigned and if. it feels like it's too small you know. you'll you'll figure F out yeah the.

weird thing is that when you cut from. One camera to the other camera the. distance between those two things you're. seeing could be anything to the viewer. you know what I mean right they don't. know how far away the stage is from the. desk turns out they're not far at. all so you're saying people that watch. TV or stupid is that what you're saying. so. dumb wow you're a very judgmental guy. absolutely propelled by hatred.
