Conan’s Family Was Always Late To Church | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

hey there welcome to con Brien needs a. friend and I'm sorry every time I say. hey there and welcome to con Brian needs. a friend Matt you do a little look to. Sona you share this little look and. you've been doing it for five years and. it's making me angry do you want to know. what it is I think we're looking at each. other to see are we going to laugh but. what is it what is it that's so funny. about me saying hey there well cuz your. voice drops and you get very kind of. pseudo broadcaster you go hey there I. don't think it's that bad no I'm.

exaggerating for effect but you do. change your voice a little bit I just so. after the shenanigans that's the thing. that's the part it's after all these you. do a lot of things that are just bananas. I do a lot of weird stuff before we. start rolling yes and then I think it's. that's it it's the transition because I. was just going on some crazy series of. ticks uh. microaggressions uh throwing props. around and then all of a sudden it stops. and I go hey there welcome to and that's.

why you look each and there's also this. feeling of like we're two kids in school. trying not to laugh during class you. know what I mean or in church yeah yeah. we got the church Giggles when you were. in church growing up you went to church. regularly no no so how do. you yeah it's like when you're in church. oh you went to church I never heard of. the church Giggles they wouldn't let her. in it'd be like not you no there I went. I went for Easter y you know I'm. Armenian I went to like a wedding every. weekend or funeral or right um quickly.

because I stopped I didn't get to say oh. and sona's here and Matt's here blah. blah blah um and that's probably what. I'm going to do from now. on but it I I'm interested interested in. this because uh I'm thinking now about. you know growing up and going to St. Lawrence Church on Route 9 uh in in. Brooklyn uh with my family every Sunday. and when you're a kid all I was trying. to do was think of things that would. make.

my brothers and sisters laugh oh God and. what I realized was foolproof was to. fullon commit to singing the. songs and what's great is you can't get. in trouble for that you know what I mean. you can't it wasn't me like doing faces. or anything like that it was just me. fullon committing to whatever the song. We were singing and. hosana here in the highest and if anyone. got gave me a look it's like hey what's.

wrong with you I'm filled with the. spirit of Christ you can't get mad at me. it was foolproof yeah I loved it when. you guys came to church even was even. the priest like oh the Bri oh my. God I'll tell you exactly what would. happen I will tell you you know what. I'll do I'll tell you exactly what. happened okay picture this you know Mass. is at you know 10:30 in the morning St. Lawrence Church Route 9 Brooklyn Mass.

and uh it starts at 10:30 and the. O'Brian and remember there's six of us. plus my parents plus my grandmother at. one point so uh nine of us would come. crashing in of course we're. late I think I've mentioned this before. I never s saw the beginning of a movie. because my father was um people who knew. my dad used to call it obrien Time Dr. O'Brien time he was we were late.

the kids it was your no it was not the. kids it was you know so we anyway we'd. all get piled into this one goofy. station wagon and we'd go up route N9. and we would come in late now if you. come in late at a Catholic mass and I'm. thinking this goes for everything I. think if you came in late at Temple if. you came you know whatever where what. whatever religion we're talking about my. guess is that you sort of stay in the. back right yeah no my father would in he. wanted to be up front.

and so my father would be late and he. would just start going and be like T. let's just sit back here there's a. there's a Pew we back here and he be. he'd make a face a big smile so no he'd. be like follow me follow me and we had. to follow him and he'd be going he kept. going and people are looking and it's. like oh my God here's the. O'Brien. Hillbillies and my grandmother's with us. going oh Moses oh Moses and we're like. making our way down it's this it's this.

crazy procession and then he would take. like third row from the front and push. people. over and we'd all be like Dad he's like. it's fine it's fine it's fine and then. of course you know I would I the. redheaded on start singing obnoxious. yeah and then the one that looks like a. little Lucille Ball with broken teeth. would uh would insist I would insist on. like okay you had me sit two rows. back.

when we're 20 minutes late we're almost. at the. Eucharist which is supposed to be 2/3 of. the way through so about be like. hosana in the highest. hosana in the highest and the you the oh. my God they hated us oh my God I would. be like if I worked at that church I'd. be like just tell the O'Brians we're. closed you know what they should have. done they should have moved you like a. disgraced priest to another Parish you. know what they should have done they. should have just put like an ax hand. through the door when shirt started and.

my father would have been like shaking. you know it would have been like The. Graduate where Dustin Hoffman trying to. he puts the thing through so that the. parents can't get at him and they're. it's all smashing the door yeah my dad. would be like Jack Nicholson in The. Shining he would crash through and then. his head would stick in front row. please first Pew oh my God oh my God. Madness so much I know but I love them.

your family. no Jesus no my friends in show. business but I love them your parents. right nah everyone in Show Business.
