Well, let me explore this part with you guys because obviously if you mix emotion, joy or any emotion with liquor, you're going to have a certain sense of danger involved and risk involved. But if on top of that, I say to you the following, sports... Create an emotion unlike anything else in your life if you're a sports fan.
If I say greatest day of your life, when did you exhibit the most emotion? I don't know if you jumped up and down and screamed when your children were born or whatever you view as the happiest days of your life, but you'll do that in a game three of a series, screaming at the television with an emotion outsized compared to all of your other emotion.
An emotion you share with strangers in a way you don't even at concerts when you go to concerts. There's nothing like sports in terms of triggering both crazy emotions, high end and low end, and then of course, when I throw a bunch of people together and those crazy emotions and permission to be joyous and out of control, all of those things can be a powder keg
that there are no boundaries for, right? That security isn't gonna prevent people from getting trampled in crowded places. I don't know, outside of Pamplona, a lot like it in terms of I'm gonna put these ingredients together where there's danger and a party, and I'm going to throw emotion into the mix, and then I'm not going to get any collateral damage.
I don't think you're right, though, the math. I'll have to call my math friends. But I don't think you're right on the idea that it happens more often than not. You'll have your occasional arrest. But obviously something like what happened in Liverpool is noticeable enough that it's not common in any way for a car to go careening into a crowd. And also then the subsequent reporting to show...
It's not terrorism because we've got that general fear around everything that we're doing around the globe these days. But I wanna ask all of you, what finishes second place to this set of ingredients? The joy around winning a championship, creating for a bunch of human beings
Outward emotion all of us can see that looks bigger than any other emotion they've shown in their life for anything that they get to share with strangers and a community. I want to know what the distant second is on now add liquor to that and see where all of it goes and how dangerous that will be if I put all of those things together.
The last time it happened was in New Orleans where a car drove into a crowd. It wasn't celebrating a champion.
It was. But I don't agree with Greg on his premise that this happens more often than not. I think more often than not, these things go off without major incident. And I still want an answer to my question, what else in the world exists that is this particular cauldron where it is inviting some of, if you've got people out of control with emotion, even if it's happiness, like it can happen too,
with unhappiness, but even if it's happiness, I really don't have a life example for you on things like this that are shared with strangers where you're going to be outside yourself with what is normal emotion and now you're going to mix it with a bunch of people where you're just out of control with delirium.
I wanted to ask you guys something here because I told you I've been talking recently on Apple Plus TV that Seth Rogen, I underestimated him. I think of him with a certain kind of comedy that feels like Pineapple Express or 40-Year-Old Virgin or anything in that realm, which is funny. but not necessarily smart and captivating or artistic.
And the studio on Apple TV is an extraordinarily funny and well-made artistic endeavor. It's a beautiful thing. But there's another thing that I've seen recently in comedy that I cannot recommend strongly enough. And you know if you've been listening for a while that I regard this man as a genius because of his comedy being just so extraordinarily likable and enduring.
But Conan O'Brien Must Go is the funniest travel show ever made. And it follows Conan Without Borders, which was also exceptional, but it is such ambitious comedy and television that he's making while ripping everyone off so that he can just travel the world and see the entirety of the world. And travel shows are the easiest thing in the world to make, but they're not easy to make funny.
They're not easy to make this kind of well where they have range and creativity. And there are only three episodes so far. But what he tried to achieve with Conan Without Borders, which was great, he has now surpassed because he has gotten better at the making of a travel show.
And it is just wildly entertaining to see him make fun of himself in a way that's likable and give himself over physically to something that is just wildly funny.
Not only that. though, Stugatz, because he's got a lot of help from famous people and funny people, but it is rare. I am grateful for our partnership in a thousand different ways, and I am grateful for you as the helper on the things that we do for 20 years. But what he does with Jordan Schlansky, his sidekick on being just the obnoxious
smarter than every one person, but always as the straight man and neither one of them breaking characters, allowing Conan not to be the butt of the joke, but allowing Conan to make someone else the butt of the joke in a way that's really likable because the guy that he's doing this with is a friend who's purposely trying to be unlikable and effortlessly doing so because he is unlikable with how much he knows.
It is a comedy team, I'm not kidding you, for all time. If you listen to Conan Needs a Friend and what he's doing on Sirius XM, what they're doing in partnership, I'd argue is, and this is a compliment, okay, because this man has had 30 years on television making things different than everyone else.
I'd argue that what he's doing now is the best of what he's doing because he's most comfortable and most likable in a format that doesn't have the rigidities and the cold of television and television light. So he's connecting with his fans and this particular project.
Mike, I don't know what you've been most impressed by watching, but the way that he ends up, for example, doing things that test the limits of, I'm just going to appear randomly in a famous soap opera in that country where they don't even speak English or-
