Conan’s Daughter Introduced Him To Japanese Breakfast | Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend

first of all I'm thrilled that you're. here I love that I'm talking to you and. I was telling you just before we started. recording that my daughter Nev is an. insane massive fan interestingly this. Story begins a number of months ago when. my daughter says I want you to come with. me to Coachella and I say sure that's. just the place for someone my age right. so we start driving and my daughter did. a really cool thing she didn't tell me. who the bands were but she started.

playing me on the long drive she started. playing me all this different music and. saying you tell me who you think we. should go see when we're there she's. playing me all different kinds of music. and I'm saying I like this one I like. that band yeah this one should be good. and then I singled out. she played me a couple songs and they. said this is the band we have to see we. have to see this band and she said. correct that is Japanese breakfast. that's amazing yeah she sort of said it. like there's hope for this old fool.

then we get to Coachella and she's. played me so much of your music that I'm. excited to see you and we go to your. tent show and you come out and you're. performing and I think you're playing. the song paprika and there's a gong on. stage a small gong and you know I'm. someone who loves to be on stage and I. can tell when someone else loves to be. on stage you come out you're kicking ass. I love your music you're playing this on.

paprika and it's so joyous and you keep. you you keep running over and hitting a. Gong and I had never seen anybody do. that before and then you're back to. playing a song and then you rush over. and hit the gong again and I was I'm in. the crowd and I'm saying Tim yelling at. my daughter gong that's genius yes. why didn't I do that. years when I was doing a monologue every. night at night I should have said like. yeah I'm more like Donald Trump and then. run over and hit a gun yeah why didn't I. do that I don't know it's very cathartic.

I I highly recommend writing it and I. want a Gong at the next live podcast. recording you'll just have a Gong next. to you and the cool thing is it's not a. giant gong it's a small it's a smaller. gong that makes like a crashing sound. right I don't feel like it's that small. well it's not the gongs I'm thinking of. are the ones that are like behind the. who yes exactly like Keith Moon would. get up at the end run over and hit and. would be like gone and it was kind of uh.

kind of a joke I guess yeah yeah it's. not small but uh yeah don't call my. gongs sorry I'm sorry sorry it's a. sizable gone wow Michelle is walking out. of the interview yeah what happened what. did you say. said the gong seemed kind of small to me. you did what you gong shamed her I gong. shamed you. it's the worst thing you can do and then. I was just talking to you I just. mentioned that and you said you saw me. in the crowd I do stick out yes yes.

you're very tall it's like Big Bird from. Sesame Street check out your set it was. hard to not just like look at you when. we were playing because we were all just. like oh my God Conan o'bri's like. watching us play and so I felt like I. like really had to perform for you and I. feel like I was just like watching you. and like hoping that you didn't like. walk away right uh that was like my. marker yeah but then looking in. retrospect I feel like that must have. been uncomfortable to be like someone's. focal point you stood in the middle of.

the crowd no there's like a VIP area on. the side but you weren't like blocking. people behind because you I don't want. you to be the tall guy in the audience. just like blocking everyone behind why. do you always have to go negative Why. Can't This just be a joyous experience. when I'm hearing tall guy in the crowd I. just think those poor people behind you. yeah but this is the issue like how tall. is your daughter my daughter is not.

and crushed crushed 11 people. I just got really excited and I jumped. up and it turned out they were all about. 19 and they just buckle and small yeah. and they all buckled and and also they. were like why you just ruined Japanese. breakfast for us we all have to go to. the hospital now oh no yeah did you try. starting a mosh pit I tried that too I. threw stuff on stage and I kept hoping. that Michelle would call me up on stage. to sing one of my numbers oh about.

growing up you know lonely and sad in. Boston but you didn't I know there is so. much to talk about I loved your show and. I've been really loving your music and I. love you direct a lot of your videos if. not all your videos you're so creative. in so many different ways and I'm I've. just gets me excited I love I love. meeting young people that are hyper. creative it makes me happy about the. future yeah yeah I know you you like. have your hand in a lot of different.

things it's I I can never do that that's. not true you wrote a book she wrote a. book called world's worst assistant. which she truthfully uh wait really I. did and I'm I'm his assistant so it was. all about how bad I am working for him. and then he wrote the forward I wrote. the forward that's so cute yeah yeah. I've had people come up to me holding. the book because it did really well I've. had people come up to me holding the. book and they've said to me hey Connor. are you okay with this like she did it. behind my back and I said I wrote the.
