hi my name is Lizzy Kaplan and I feel. I've had. better about being con O'Brien's PR. yes wow um uh that was delightful I. don't know why I love that so much I do. too I do too all right see you well I. know you two you two guys lit up like. Christmas trees yeah well as you're well. aware I've got a bad case with Lizzie. Kaplan she's one of my favorite people. of all. time um work and also just uh you as a.

person I'm just going to start off. saying it we've hung out a little bit on. the side and I just always leave. thinking Jesus Christ that Lizzy Kaplan. is if there's anyone cooler than than. this woman I have not I have not met her. and um damn damn seriously seriously I I. absolutely adore. you um I know you're going through some. stuff right now and I know your your. father just passed.

is bizarre because I just went through. this with my parents uh at the in. December um both of them went at the. same time like it was a suicide Packa. which it was not but you it just sounded. suspicious in the Press like my dad went. and then my mom went two days later and. it just sounds like okay this is a. murder you know but it wasn't hello yeah. exactly yeah exactly um but no uh so we. were chatting a little bit out in the.

hall and I said we don't need to talk. about this but it might be good to talk. about because I just went through it I'm. it's so fresh in my mind the different. weird feelings that you feel so if it. helps you at all totally we can talk. about it and then I'll charge you $350. cool great that's the bargain at this. point yeah so I like pop my Prozac right. before I did recognize that pill yeah um.

big fan by the way man keep hey keep. that proac coming you guys are doing. amazing work we have a bowl of it. here. Coca-Cola original interestingly I don't. know if you remember this but I Met Your. Dad and I had a very long chat with your. father it was at a party um I believe. here in Los Angeles and you came in. afterwards and said what were you just. what were you doing and I said oh me and. your dad were just talking and we talked. for a really long time and you looked a.

gas like oh my God what did he do what. did my father say but I remembered uh I. remember him very fondly that's really. nice thanks Conan yeah he was um a very. funny man very strange. man it's wild it's wild the whole thing. and I I actually kind of wish I brought. him around to more parties and more. things CU people had good experiences. with him but yeah it's weird my mom died. when I was 13 so so I feel as you do but.

it's very fresh for you like you feel. like an orphan even though you're old. and not you you're very. young speaking myself I I know what. you're saying cuz Sona came when my. parents passed Sona um and a couple of. the other people uh not you Ardo um came. out see better things to do um no right. there was a big game that night um no uh. it was in Boston and I didn't expect to.

come and and so uh some of the people uh. who I work with flew to Boston to be. there which me uh which was very nice it. was so funny cuz I wanted I just wanted. to make Sona laugh and so Sona came up. to me at some point and remember I was. just going like I'm an orphan yeah and. but playing it up for sympathy when I'm. a 61-year-old white guy lot of Little. Orphan Annie gets text mes and but it's. I kept saying like I don't know where.

I'm going to sleep tonight yeah you're. going to sleep at the Four Seasons Hotel. you you know I just but it was. making you laugh and that was making me. happy but I did feel the same kind of. thing which was just oh I guess I'm an. orphan but I don't get to walk around. with a big 1920s cap well you're see. this is why I love Lizzie she's giving. me permission don't limit yourself you. two of you should hop a box car as. orphan we should walk two scruffy.

orphans two scruffy orphans in the Four. Season wait a minute that looks like. Lizzy Kaplan and Conan O'Brien and. there's an SUV following them like 15. feet behind in case they need anything. so anyway but yes I do I mean I I don't. I couldn't even begin to wrap my head. around your version of it which is like. the one two punch but I do think there's. something which you will never know but. there's something really kind about it.

happening that way that you didn't have. to have like the 5 years of looking. after your mom without your dad and yeah. that would have been brutal that's a. good chapter that nobody really needs. but yeah I I just kept thinking like my. so my mom died it was awful uh also you. were 13 13 which is crazy everyone. thinks oh it would be the worst if you. were two or three and I've read some. about this and it's no if you're it's. apparently the worst time is if you're a.

teenager that's when it can impact you. the most can confirm it was horrible. then like every funeral after that never. felt as bad you know like a grandparent. would die or it just never it never hit. his heart obviously and then my dad I. just assume he was 80 he was not well it. wasn't that surprising even though it. kind of was in in the moment but I so so.

so up over it obviously but I. realized like it doesn't even matter if. you're 13 if you're it's your parent. your parents Loom so large whatever your. relationship is and we had a good. relationship but even if you're not. speaking to your parent if they died. like that's gonna you're like it's. coming for you Conan yes it's gonna It's. Gonna Get You Bad probably after the. Oscars I don't feel things I think we. have to get through the Soul Train. Awards and. then we had verer the great verer herzo. was here he's helping us out with.

something in a really lovely way but he. was here and he's always been very nice. to me and he said he had heard the news. and he said Conan you only have and he. said in that verer Herzog voice one. mother and one father I don't know why. that's coming out Irish yeah what the. happened how did he do it someone. help me out here I got to access him one. mother and one father PR that's it there. you go thank you I I don't know why I. went to the leprechaun oh one mother. don't it up oh but you still got. lucky.

charms no he like you have one mother. one father and I just was I was like. this is not helping I supposed coming. from him coming from him and he said and. there is no afterlife they've descended. into a void of meaningless. Madness and. Chaos thanks fer um can I can I say. something very quickly he was here and. obviously we all love him and um Maddie. uh always sets out a basket of of of. snacks and stuff and so he was standing.

talking to you and some other people and. before he left he's like and now it is. time for me to leave but first a little. treat and he went over grabbed like a. little thing it took it with it it was. amazing he narrates regular life like. that a little treat oh it was and then I. will descend again into chaos and. Madness anyway um yeah it is uh you're. still going through it and then what's. strange is the expectation other people. have for you which is you just you feel.

what you feel and I'm I don't know if. it's an Irish quality or what but I just. sort of get through things and so I've. had people that have said you just must. be devastated and I think I don't know I. don't know what I'm feeling I know that. I and then I noticed that I had put my. watch on upside down and backwards to. reverse time yeah exactly I don't know. what I was doing but like my belt was on. wrong I was telling everyone oh no no. these things well they lived a long life. and I think they enjoyed themselves and. all was well and they went peacefully.

and quietly and people would say you. just put your pants on over your. head and poured gravy into the bathtub. what are you doing uh I yeah I don't I. don't I I guess it's like it's. impossible for me not to just be making. constant comparisons to when my mom. passed away and I had no skills no tools. no I mean I had support but like. 13-year-old friends support which is not. amazing for that situation like as hard.

as they all tried and I just it was it. there were so many years of it just. being so so so hard and now I realize. like oh I do actually have support and a. therapist and prac and you know like a. great like I will be okay I ended up. being okay the last time against the. odds because that was crazy right um so. yeah I I I just like I definitely am Pro. accessing it in a much healthier way I'm.

letting myself be sad but that's not. that was not easy for me to do as a kid. as a kid it was just like exactly what. you're saying like keeping it moving. yeah armor armor armor and. now it's better it's better for it to. happen now and in this way but like it's. crazy it's just crazy I'm so. just I guess I'm just so sad about it. which feels healthy I'll take that. over angry and confused it's a gift to.

be able to feel sad yeah um let me tell. you you should try. it please there's no. time now Mattress Firm oh. no don't be the villain in your oh sorry. we'll do that oh my god do you I even. remember the tagline from that stupid uh. not stupid terrific mattress.
