Danny McBride & Will Ferrell's Spooky Visit To The Psycho House | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

So, you're in South Carolina now. Is it. weird to come into LA and like, okay, now I'm driving around the 405 freeway. and I'm going to do press and things. like that. You're you're uh I mean, it's. funny. I mean, I would I lived here 20. years, drive everywhere, and then. instantly I feel like I'm an old person. who's never been around a a moving car. before. It's like there's so many cars. It's it's everything's so fast, right? You do slow down. I mean, everything is. so slow there that you uh it does. It. kind of I'm like, wow. It's wild that I. was used to this pace. It's nuts. One of. the things I love about Charleston is. when you go downtown, they have the old.

gas lamps. It's it's like you've gone. back in time. You know, they've done a. really good job of preserving. And so I. would think it's about as not LA as you. can get to me is gas lanterns in the. streets. Do you know what I mean? Burning in the middle of the day, just. burning propane. Yeah. Yeah. Someone over there has a butter churn. When something like Gemstones is done, you've wrapped it and you're going to. unveil this new season. Are you on to. the next thing already? After I leave.

here, I go sound mix the very last. episode. So, after today, I will be. officially unemployed. I'm done. Uh I. don't I mean, I have ideas what I want. to do, but I really just kind of want to. just chill out for a little bit and. catch a breath. I mean, I've been on. Gemstones full-time now for like seven. years. I mean, it doesn't seem like that. because there was COVID and there was a. strike, but it's uh I'm so monogous when. I get on something like this. I like. live and breathe it. I mean, when we're. not in between seasons, I'm literally. just like reading the Bible, watching. sermons, just trying to find material.

and find inspiration. And so, I think. after a while, you kind of do have to. just shut it off because even in my. head, if I were to think of ideas now, they all would feel similar to Gemstones. cuz my brain is so trained on finding. humor and finding comedy that like fits. that mold. So I think in a way you kind. of have to just like let it go and kind. of stop thinking about it for a while. and then kind of Okay. So what what do. you do to relax? What are your what are. your fun things? What's your happy. place? I need to get hobbies. I don't.

have hobbies unfortunately. I've tried a. few different ones in Charleston and. none of them have really stuck. What did. you try when I first got there? I was. like maybe I'm going to be somebody. who's like into grilling. I'll be into. Big Green Eggs and like and like. learning how to like master the Big. Green Egg. And I had that for a while. and then I was like, I'm going to have a. heart attack with all these. steaks I'm making. No one's eating and. like. trying to dial the temperature in just. right. It's like my wife's like, "Yeah, big deal. You kept it at 250° for 12. hours. Like you've mastered it." But.

this pork, it falls right on. My heart feels tight. My chest. I I got. a I got a like a little bo, you know, I. have a dock and so I got a Boston whale. like everybody in uh in that area like. is out boat, right? Well, I thought I. did and then I realized I'm not a I'm. not a boat person. I don't like owning. it. I uh I would be responsible for. everybody's like safety. I would get out. there and I would just have the worst. time because I'm just sort of like so. worried that I'm going to kill someone.

And I was like this feels like someone. else should be driving this thing. I. should be able just to drink and like. let the wind blow my hair back. And so, and it's also boats are so much. maintenance. It's like you finish going. out and everyone gets to go home and. then you got to sit around for like an. hour and a half hosing the thing. down and like flushing the the engine. out. I'm like, I don't need nude chores. I don't I don't like this. So, I I like. let the boat rot for like an hour and a. like a year and a half at the end of my. dock. I would just look at it and just. it make me feel terrible cuz I'm like I. have no desire to use that thing I've.

spent money on. And I would watch it. fill with rainwater and. barnacles grow on it and it was just a. constant reminder of like, you know, you. don't have hobbies. You don't even like. going out on boats. And so I sold that. and got rid of that. And uh yeah, now. that's what I'll do. I'll try to find. what the next I love that you have a. camouflage shirt. And anyone who sees. this on video, you're wearing a a total. camouflage hunting shirt, but I doubt. you need it. I I doubt that you do.

anything that requires you to wear. camouflage. I I I want to, but yeah, I. don't have it in me. Even even honestly, even fishing to an extent. Like everyone. fishes down there. It's like, "All. right, I'll get into fishing." We have. this koi pond in our front yard. And. there was like we inherit it when I. bought the place like koiish there. And. then this like heron, this bird. started coming every day. It would be on. our roof. It would come down and it. would pick up the koifish, but the. koifish were too big for it to eat. So. they would just drop them on the on the. leave them on the side of the ground. I. would come home and there would always.

be dead fish like leading up there. And. I uh birds just laughing at you. I I. started a straightup war with this bird. where it was it would the same one would. come every day. And my wife and I had. all these tricks. Like I had like left. my son's and I like left my son's like. remote control car down there. And then. every time I'd see it, I would turn the. car on to chase it away. And then that. evolved into just like Nerf guns where. like that thing would come and I would. just like run out there like lighting it. up. And uh it it knew who I was. You. found I think you found your hobby.

You have a hobby. Yeah. It's it's. fighting birds, saving koi. Fighting. birds without hurting them. Did you win? Did you get rid of Well, you know what. was funny is like one day I went out. there and I did I lit that bird up. I I. like I I made full contact with that. thing. It flew over the hedge and I went. back in the house like Yeah. got him. The bird flew around to the back of the. house and started banging on the window. and all over the back of my desk. It was like Oh, he knew. He He knew. Of. course he knew. Yeah.

Cut to the bird at a gun store. Yeah. He's going to even the store. Yeah. bring a Nerf gun, you bring a real. gun. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But I think. protecting those fish I there was a few. times where I saved a few where I got. home and the fish was still flopping on. the ground and I saw the scared look in. its eye as I put it back in the water. I. was like, I can never fish now. I've. ruined it for myself. I'm determined now to go I'm going to go. to I'm going to go to Charleston, South. Carolina and hang out and get the word. out that I'm ready to hang with Danny.

McBride. Yeah. But then it's just going. to be really fun that you don't reach. out to me. And I know that you're just. like six miles away. No, I'll reach out. to you. But what would we do? Well, there's a few good bars down the street. from my house. We probably ride around. in golf carts. Maybe we go on a ghost. tour. I would love that. You know, the the. area where I live. People cruise around. on golf carts and it's uh there's no. hotels or anything out there. It gets. pretty dark after night. And like I love. to just like put the kids in the golf. cart and I literally just like play the. soundtrack to The Shining and turn the.

lights in the golf cart off and just. cruise around the island. It it is it is more frightening than. what you could imagine. Yeah. So So how. are they doing these kids? I worry about. they're in therapy. Uh. you said they haven't really grown much. and they're terrified all the time. I. remember when we uh shot Land of the. Lost uh here in Los Angeles. We were uh. that's like one of the only movies I.

ever worked on that shot on a back lot. Uh that was what I thought all of. Hollywood would be. It would be like. you'd be on a on a you know sure the. studio and every movie would be shooting. there. I think we were the only movie. that was shooting in town that time on. the Universal lot and we would have all. these late nights and uh Will Frell and. Yorma and I would get in golf carts at. the uh like late at night on like you. know on these night shoots and we would. drive through Universal Studios when it. was closed down and we would pull up in. front of the Psycho House and one by one.

you'd have to go up by yourself and. knock on the door. [Applause]. and it seemed so silly. It was scary as. Oh my god, that does sound scary. It. was. It was. You would freak yourself. out. There was no way after you knocked. that you would not run back to the golf. cart where everybody was and then. quickly make some jokes like it wasn't. that scary. Hey, don't they have the mom. in the window? Yeah, they have her like. like a mannequin. Not real. That might. be I think it's a working actress. She's.

just sitt there 24/7. It's so creepy. Yeah. Yeah. She was on a s. She was on. like silver spoons. and now that's what she does. Uh this has been an absolute blast. Absolute blast. You've been on our How. do we get this man? He's never in LA. I'm so happy that you were able to get. yourself in here and met you in 2006 and. right away was an instant fan. Like and. then everything just has from a distance.

I've just watched everything uh blow up. since. uh for you in all the best ways. and I'm really happy and uh uh Righteous. Gemstones is hilarious and great and you. this is the final season. This is the. final season. Wrapped it up this season. Yep. I think we've uh I think it's our. best one yet. I know everyone has to say. that to get people to tune in, but I. really do think that. Yeah. Well, I am. so happy for you and I look forward to. the day that I uh intrude on you in.

South Carolina. Please come down. I'll. give you the real tour. I will. And no, seriously, I mean, I'm a huge I've been. to Fort Sumpter. I'm I'm a real nerd and. I I've gone to the South and I've told. people this. I took my wife on when we. were newly married. I took her on a. drive through Georgia to look at Civil. War landmarks and the marriage almost. ended there. Uh so, uh anyway, um thank you so much for. being here. Seriously, and uh get a. hobby. I'll try to.
