Conan Wants The Podcast To Look More Like NASA | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

hey there welcome to con debrian needs a. friend podcast well that gives and gives. and gives sitting here with son messian. hey Sona hi and of course Matt gorley. what's up juicer well I'll tell you. something I am the juicer yeah just put. an orange in me and you will get that. sweet sweet sweet nectar of the Gods I. am very happy I'm feeling in a good mood. these days cool um you know I just saw. Eduardo putting the mics in he was. connect them mhm before we got started.

is like reporters have like a little. thing on their mic that says yeah little. signage yeah yeah little NPR yeah and I. was thinking would we ever have that. would we ever have a little you know con. Brian needs a friend signage and then I. started thinking like no around the. little microphone part but then follow. this I started thinking why does it have. to be that wouldn't it be cool if it. said NASA oh now we're talking do you. know what I mean I like this like. there's no reason first of all NASA May. complain but I don't think they're going.

to want that lawsuit should we also just. dress in white sleeve button-ups with. black ties pocket we talk about science. no that's the best part we still talk. the same old gibberish and that. we always talk but we're wearing uh. white coats and it says NASA but we're. just talking po PE all three of us get. flat tops okay I'll get a buzz cut yeah. I will you just want the look you're not. saying anything about this is there's no. but I think it' just be a cool look. online and people would see it and. there'd be a moment of I should probably.

pay attention it's NASA because I grew. up with a real reverence for NASA you. probably did too it's NASA I didn't I. remembered. my well you don't believe in space do. you I don't think space even exists yeah. you're a flat earther I I uh you think. the world ends at Glendale um why. Glendale there's just a drop talking can. you just bring up some video of like a. rocket trajectory or something here yes. and you and I'm not kidding I would say. something with Telemetry I would say.

here's what I'm thinking guys follow me. on this little signage here that says. NASA we dress as if we're talking about. real things behind us there's that big. flattened out globe that has the curved. Telemetry of re-entry and it's going to. people are going to stop and they're. going to think I got to check this out. this important yeah and I'm so sorry and. then it's going to be us you know talk. or Sona dishing on some celebrity that. she used the bathroom just after you.

know do you know what I mean that kind. those kind of stories that you tell that. are awful but you're you're making it. seem as though people are like flipping. through channels where they can see us. this is an audio medium and then also on. YouTube like people specifically click. on us I know but I'm what I'm saying is. people tuning in right now we are tus 10. for solid rocket boosters ignite in tus. 10 9 s and then uh son I understand you. used a bath recently just after wink.

marale had been in it yeah wink marale. well I'm sorry yeah of all the. celebrities oh I'm sorry you're probably. going to want some new reference like. ghost killer McGee hey I was once on a. wink Jones game show what's that I was. once on a Wink marale game show uh. really okay yeah I'm sorry I I call. these uh um worthy Sidetrack what was. the wink marale game show it was called. Deb and and I oh that's a fun game show.

people just talk about their debt oh. look we're getting a blast off right now. this is exactly what NASA would be. watching this is so cool that's great a. YouTube video you know what I love I. love just probably search NASA uh let me. describe for the audio audience um. imagine that we're wearing white coats. uh a shuttle has just launched I think. I'm on to something where yes people. seem to enjoy our brand of foolishness. podcast is doing very well it's a big. podcast but we do little things like.

that every now and then we and and uh. why not it Just changes it up yeah I. think it's totally fine to impersonate. government employees totally cool to do. that no no what I you know we have to. take this off because Matt is just. watching the solid booster rocket. separate you better take it off at Ward. it's child watching Bluey could you put. on uh like James Bond No we nothing more. nothing more nothing more you have such. a 60s version of what NASA people look. like we should have white.

yeah have you watched them recently. they're all tatted up yeah they're cool. you know what I I don't think I now I. think it's all SpaceX and stuff is what. is NASA up to these days the minute when. they said we're going to the Moon again. I thought huh they're rovering they're. doing the r uh oh uh bla is all excited. cuz he has something he wants to say he. has an. erection solid rocket booster. ignition they just uh actually something. cool is they just uh uh reconed Voyager.

one it was sending gobbledygook and then. they fixed it and now it's sending back. everyone I I had an uncle like that I. had an uncle like that he was speaking. complete gibberish we rode him off and. then he came around yeah and he started. talking sensibly again so they did that. and it's the first turned out it was too. much zinc in his pudding it's the. furthest uh man-made object uh it's the. farthest thing we've ever humans have. ever uh sent uh billions of miles away. I'm glad you're not a spokesperson can. you imagine bla as a spokesperson.

okay today we just sent the farthest I. mean it's such a far you wouldn't know. it's a thing that goes out but it's it's. a sir can you tell us please be specific. it was sending us gobbley good it was. sending us gobbley good and now I'm. explaining it in gobbley. good yeah this this uh Voyager one was. just sending us a lot of BS but now it's. way way out there it's really. groovy um anyway I thought by invoking. NASA we could assume um sort of more of.

a serious mantle maybe people would take. us a little more seriously and it would. make the comedy really pop yeah uh I. think that would only work if we just. stop talking what what do you mean like. if we just didn't talk and just sat here. looking like NASA because the moment we. do talk it is just a lot of Po give it a. shot try to talk like NASA yeah yeah. let's hear that Sona let's he you do. your NASA talk go ahead Hey listen we're. cutting away to ask nowar prop can I. have your pen what what am I going to do. with that that looks technical that's. and we're cutting away to uh rocket.

propulsion. specialist uh Dr Sona mes thank you uh. Mr O'Brien it's um we're we we just want. to make sure the trajectory of our. re-entry is penetrating the atmosphere. at just the right thrust and um we have. uh orbits yes how many orbits do we have. have two yeah we have two orbits uh. you're talking about the occipital. orbits hold the eye jelly we have we. have that the um we did the orbit and. then there's um there's a dwarf planet.

that is Pluto we call them little person. it's not. even planet anymore I that's what our. research is based on no it's still a. planet it's still a person Planet listen. it's not a planet anymore what isn't. Pluto Pluto is not a planet anymore okay. I could care less well you're you work. at Nasa we we were doing a whole NASA. thing no you're at Nasa I'm still. celebrity obsessed con O'Brien with the. latest on Ghost Face Killer oh boy cuz. I've got you right rap that's a hard rap.

cuz no one knows what's going on out. there more than me I know about rap with. Ghostface Killer what was he in wuang. that's right wuang in the house I'm GNA. go with more believable Sona NASA than. you rap guy yeah I I'm better at. impersonating NASA than you are at. pretending to know pop culture stuff. ridiculous I just came back from a a uh. Vanilla Ice concert oh.

where I was I was there with Ghost Face. Killer you were with him he was just. with you what's that you like in the. audience together yes oh okay I saw on. his shoulders and Matt Matt's the sports. Guy what's oh yes someone's got the ball. and they're not giving it back get ready. for some hot action as these men put on. tight shoes and run around getting grins. from the. people this is the worst Opening Ever. I'm writing down worst. opening ever you know what's good.

you know what I think is the good thing. about a a terrible opening a terrible. opening means we'll never go this low. again and now we can you know when you. touch the bottom of the pool and you. push back up. again you okay Sona what's the matter he. put so much effort into it and then he. stopped he went into a like a sugar like. a sugar. crash I also like can I say one thing. long after long minutes after we turned. off the screen showing the NASA footage.

I swear to God and I'll do an impression. gorle wasn't talking but was still. looking at this blank. screen waiting for something else to. come I'm just just I'm just elsewhere. I'm just elsewhere you're elsewhere in. the best way Anywhere But Here I'm. actually crying you are crying oh my God. don't be sad it's all fine now you can. go home to Altadena now just don't drive. too far or ah. off the face of the Earth.
