Conan Wants To Get On Questlove's Celebrity Playlist Text Chain | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

this is crazy cuz this is what I wanted. to ask you about okay which is you make. these playlists and you make them for. your friends but you make them for some. of the most famous people in the world. you like Barack. Obama asked you to make a playlist for. him do you ever throw something in there. just like the theme from Gilligan Island. just something that's going to freak him. out oh I I do that all the like the the. amount of he. doesn't he doesn't uh question much.

there's a few people are like did you. really mean to to to put this version of. that song on there like I will lightly. troll I'm not trying to troll more than. I'm just trying to expand the pallet yep. because I think often times when it. comes to streaming there are billions of. songs out there but we're only going to. go to the 32 songs that we know yes and. I'm willing. to do the the musical metaphorical uh. equivalent of the Shaw Shank crawl.

uh and and go through I go through about. 500 songs a week uh of which. maybe seven are cool and add that to the. database and these are songs that I. believe in like not like desert island. disc but like I cosign the song and. every part of the song has to be like. something that yeah this is a great song. and yeah it it started with the Obamas.

um and then I added the Carters like. when they were I wanted to add people. that just had kids so in my mind when. when Blue Ivy was born I was like okay. right I'm gonna I want you to play this. like in her crib or in her Nursery. whatever and then cuz if you can reach a. kid before six you can really determine. their creativity what I love about this. is that when you do this you are in a. very intimate way in the ear of uh of a. Barack Obama do you know what I mean. mean and you're you're able to you're.

you're like creating new neural Pathways. by throwing in a uh tricker for kids. commercial really quickly you're. with full. circle you're screwing with the mind of. uh of a of a of a president of the. United States which is fascinating to me. I believe that music is sort of. nourishing like food and the right song. could inspire you to so I do two types. of playlists I do an afternoon playlist.

that should be played between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 uh p.m. and then I do an. evening playlist between 6 and that. doesn't mean like Hey Baby Quiet Storm. music it's not that but I do an evening. set so it started with them and then it. was 10 and then it was the 50 so I think. right about. [Music]. now oh my God that's a lot of scrolling. I text 700 times a month to and there's.

Ice I can't believe I'm holding your. list and this is the most impressive. list of names I don't want to I want to. respect people's privacy no they I mean. they're you know it's it's let's hear it. yeah just say it no I well okay I I. there's just I mean is in here yeah.
