Sona & Gourley Got Busted By Mall Cops | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

I heard some disturbing news today and. I'd like to investigate let me explain. I'll do a little uh background first uh. Mr gorley Matt Gourley as you may know. him or just Matt here on the podcast uh. obviously it does a terrific job here at. the show and it's constantly crafting. the the program and making it sound. perfect I think we've covered it yep. we're done no no no no no there's. there's more to cover uh Matt is also.

um a bit of a when it comes to. podcasts that's true that he's always. out there I mean I would think being on. Conan O'Brien's friend would be enough I. mean this is so this is a big deal but. no he is uh always off uh working on. hundreds and hundreds of other podcasts. I'm the Wilt Chamberlain of podcasts yes. you are yes you are. um you cannot be sated you you keep. going going and you're always there's.

you're always out to conquer another. podcast that you meet in a club late at. night and then bring back to your creepy. 1970s. um. house with extra high doorways but. anyway and. I wish I could refute you on anything. yes but. um recently uh Matt was telling us all. in the studio because we hang around. sometimes we're we're friends off Mike. and uh just just pretend the advertisers.

like it so they do they want friendship. in order to they just like it they want. people to buy into this as a real family. like the royal family but we all know. deep down what's happening behind the. scenes anyway uh so Matt was telling us. he had a new idea for a podcast called. Mall walking where he walks around a. mall and maybe he has a special guest. with him and just walks around him all. and sees what happened so I think one. interesting idea and again confused that.

he needs I mean the man has a child and. a wife uh and he's working with Conan. O'Brien why does he need this but that's. his choice not mine and then yesterday I. was working with Sona you were a me out. with something yeah and uh we were. working on a project together and you. just happened to mention that you were a. guest on Mall walking yeah I was with. Matt Gourley and that things went a. little off the rails and now I turn it. over to you too.

well I mean first of all I asked to be. on Mall walking and I was happy happy to. have you we do this show with my friend. Mark mcconville and we went to the mall. which is called the shops at Santa Anita. right and we did what we always do we. walk in with three handheld mics. although we only had two wireless. receivers so I was Tethered to Mark with. a 20-foot cable but wait a minute wait a. minute but not the whole time no because. we had a malfunction so there was a. malfunction so because I would think the.

whole idea of doing a podcast called. Mall walking is that you want to be. um not too obtrusive right you want to. sort of fly under the radar and yet you. are lashed to your friend with a cable. yes yeah because of what was the. malfunction uh the wireless receiver on. one of the mics wasn't working right. right okay so and they had a it could. not have been a longer cable I just want. to make sure it's there's no way you. can't notice this this extremely long.

cable and they're standing right next to. each other so it's dragging on them wait. you didn't coil it up why didn't you. coil it up oh we did but we gotta you. know we gotta spread out at times where. he's going to the lid store and I want. to check out a Hot Topic you know but. sure you can't you can't have a long. cord between the two of you in a busy. mall we did okay we closed lines some. people all right so so so Sona you're. part of this I am and tell us what's. happening so we started off I had. clothes to return at Old Navy which we.

did on Mike we returned clothes on Mike. we returned how am I not listening to. this podcast. this is fantastic. hey we just walk the entire uh second. floor store to store we're talking about. what we see you know and then we're. talking about the candy dispensers I. mean it's really riveting stuff and then. uh and then we get to the end of the. second floor and someone stopped us the. security guard yeah we haven't been to. the first floor yet so we're halfway.

through yeah right so you're halfway. through this this show you've returned. some clothes yes and you've you've. looked in lids and uh got us See's Candy. chocolate thing right yeah yeah I made. magic before you can't forget that well. I expensed it to the mall walking yeah. yeah. which is it has an offshore account. I know that this is always for you to. launder cash so so uh you're doing all. that and then.

um and then you get to the end of the. second floor of the mall and you're. approached by a security guard and once. you take it here man well he was the. sweetest man yes and he seemed also kind. of reluctant yeah yeah yeah and then uh. Sona kind of took over and actually as. she does yeah and thank God because she. was brilliant and she was really kind. but also very matter of fact basically. said what would your supervisor say to. this let's speak to them so it out comes. his boss who then recognized Sona yeah.

oh yeah yeah I he so he he's like you. look familiar and then you know I mean. usually it's because they watch you so I. was like oh I work for Conan O'Brien and. he goes yeah you know I'm Team Coco for. life and so we were like I love this guy. yeah but then we were like so can we. record and he's like no yeah no. absolutely not wow yeah. Team Coco for life I love Team Coco I. love Conan can you help us out a little. bit no I cannot yeah. which uh then we asked to go above his.

head and they walked us back to the. management office yes uh-huh okay and by. the way your cable is still unspooling. this whole time yes 900 feet of cable. and and by the way old old women on. Walkers are tumbling left and right. you just keep hearing in the background. oh my God. clunk shatter yeah we went to the office. of the mall which was pretty cool okay. so you went into the yeah I mean this is. uh again this is if you're gonna check. out anything at the mall I think the.

administrative office would be the place. this podcast opens doors yeah. so so you're in there and are you still. recording yes and then technically they. asked us to stop right we kept recording. well the old trick is to say we've we've. stopped but not stopped right and we did. do that and uh we spoke to two very nice. women and they said we can't let you. record today but here's our business. card you can email and get permission. okay which I did never heard from him oh. pinged him back heard from a new lady.

she said can you please describe the. podcast I did never heard from her again. got ghosted so what we need you to do. yes and I'm glad you brought this up. yeah yeah is call out shops at Santa. Anita and say let free Sona and Matt and. Mark you know okay you know what I'm. gonna do I'm gonna quote. um a really good guy. um he's a security guard at shops in. Santa Anita and say I can't help you out. come on.

come on the three of us want to go back. I'm channeling the guy's Team Coco and I. gotta go with the Team Coco I can't help. you out yeah um Conan imagine if you had. the Godfather without the Godfather Part. Two we have not even been on the first. floor of this mall it's exactly the same. you're right yeah well first of all. Godfather alone I think people would. still regard as one of the greatest. movies of all as they would this episode. of the podcast yes but. if you say without the Godfather Part.

Two you don't have the Godfather no you. still have the Godfather and everyone's. very happy but so that analogy doesn't. hold well they end each episode sitting. on the massage chairs and we didn't even. get to do that so I think that that. alone that's right requires us to go. back there I really need to check out. the food court too if that's important. you can't go to a mall without looking. at the food court okay. um I. you know love you guys I work with you. all the time we're team so yes I will. help you uh this is Conan O'Brien and.

this message goes out to shops at Santa. Anita thank you. um I'm asking you please to let Matt. Gourley and Sona mosesian uh come back. and Mark McConnell yeah and Mark who. Mark mcconville no I'm not going to. vouch for him I don't know him that's. good he's better than me I don't know he. might be great I just don't know the guy. I can't vouch for him okay. um you have to get him in on your own. so shops at Santa Anita.

um I uh I I wanted you to please please. allow uh Matt Gourley uh son of assassin. to. to um. to come and record an episode of Mall. walking it's uh walk in I'm all walking. I'm sorry you don't say the g at the end. of course got an apostrophe thank you. okay thank you Sona that's a wonderful. part of my pitch and uh we'll make all. the difference in this plea.

and I just ask that you consider this. this is great promotion for shops at. Santa meeting at Shops at Santa Anita. um and uh third part of the mark. Montgomery. they're going to do a great job with. mango. can I get you saying a few different. other malls so we could just plug that. in yeah okay go ahead South Coast Plaza. hey South Coast Plaza do me a favor. Americana brand hey Americana brand. Conor O'Brien here and I need your help.

Sherman Oaks Galleria hey Sherman Oaks. Galleria I know I was banned in 1988 but. please hear me out and listen to this. important message and finally The. Citadel Outlet Mall a Citadel Outlet. Mall Conan O'Brien here and uh I've got. a special request that may turn out. nicely for all of us yeah you know what. I'll say uh you should make it very.

clear to these people this is. advertising. yeah did you mention that no but I. didn't I if I if I had time to mentally. prepare I would have kicked in but like. you know who's going to the mall anymore. right we're doing them a favor well okay. well first of all don't say who's going. to the mall anymore that's not going to. get you back into the shops at Santa. Anita I'm saying Dear Santa Anita like. people will listen to this podcast and. flock to the mall it's true I wrote that. in the email maybe that's why I haven't.

heard back because then they knew they. couldn't take me serious sleep but well. listen I do hope I do hope you get back. in there and uh do you really I do do. you care yeah okay that's good I don't. care a lot okay I barely care Oh but I. do care no I'm thinking about it and I'm. registering. you know when the sun gets really low on. the horizon at the end of the day and. there's still just a little bit of like. a little bit of glow yeah that's how. much caring I have that's a little bit.

that's fine it's still there to take it. registers yeah and um you know we'll see. and if this doesn't work maybe I gotta. show up oh you know and then. you can't just say one thing bring them. up because when people see Conan O'Brien. in a mall there's gonna be on the. floor. yeah that's you're proud of that I know. this is a selling point for. all over the mall I'm not telling.

you what I want I'm telling you what. happens when I get recognized on the. street okay I have been responsible for. more public defecation than anybody in. the history of the medium I went to a. restaurant with you in Santa Anita and. it's notorious for having a long wait. and they saw you and still made us wait. 45 minutes for a table you know why why. they were busy. well good luck you guys.

thank you boss thank you.
