Chapter 2: How does Andrew Scott feel about the over-academization of Shakespeare?

47.707 - 71.005 Andrew Scott

Do you guys ever see our videos come up when you're, you know? Oh, yeah. You see the videos come up of us doing the podcast. And I see, too, when they put out the photo of me with the guests. I'll be with Billie Eilish. I'll be with, you know, whoever the guest is. Mm-hmm. but I think Billie Eilish came to mind because I was looking at the photograph and my hair is insane.

0

71.025 - 98.579 Andrew Scott

And I realized that for years and years and years, I would do a show and I'd run a comb through my hair and kind of make sure the coif was working. And I don't do that at all with the podcast. And sometimes it's insanity. We have a wall out there of pictures of me with different guests and my hair is all over the map. It really is. It really, I mean- It's mood hair. It's just insanity.

0

98.599 - 109.177 Andrew Scott

And I don't know. I got self-conscious. I think the other day some maybe it was the Billie Eilish photograph popped up on my screen. I don't know what's going on up there.

109.477 - 123.938 Andrew Scott

I look like Shemp from the Three Stooges. Yeah. If he were a ginger. And then I started to think. You know, do I need to do something about this? Do I need to get it under control? Or is this just what it is now, man? It's you. It's podcast, man.

0

124.519 - 128.343 Unknown

I have to make sure my hair looks decent every time we do this. No, you don't.

0

130.987 - 138.716 Andrew Scott

Conan! No, no. What I'm saying, Sona, I wasn't saying your hair looks bad. It's just I don't think you have any control over what's happening on top of your head.

0

138.736 - 140.518 Unknown

I certainly do, sir.

0

140.498 - 141.039 Andrew Scott

What do you mean?

141.239 - 147.95 Unknown

I put so much product in my hair and I have to make sure that it's like kind of normal.

147.97 - 158.287 Andrew Scott

So I'm seeing your hair after it's been treated and cared for. I'm just, and I'm saying this, Sonia, you know that this is also a compliment because your hair is powerful.

Chapter 4: What unique approach does Andrew Scott take in portraying characters?

158.687 - 160.33 Andrew Scott

It is the source of your strength.

0

160.31 - 164.32 Unknown

I have the most iconic hair on this podcast.

0

164.34 - 170.515 Andrew Scott

That's saying something. Yeah, that's... I'm kidding. But I mean, you have abundant, luxurious, powerful hair.

0

170.756 - 171.237 Unknown

It is.

0

171.738 - 173.804 Andrew Scott

But what do you do to it?

173.984 - 175.548 Unknown

Okay, so I get out of the shower.

175.568 - 180.04 Andrew Scott

To make it so angry and crazy. Do you taunt it?

181.083 - 184.974 Unknown

I start off, I put in argan oil to moisturize.

185.074 - 186.999 Andrew Scott

Is it argan oil? What is that?

Chapter 5: What surprising technique does Conan use to enter a trance?

195.21 - 196.572 Andrew Scott

O-N is the gas.

0

196.592 - 216.378 Unknown

What is argan oil? It's like Moroccan oil. It's like really nice oil and it moisturizes. You can use it on your skin. And then after that, I put in like seven other products. Like I put in a leave-in conditioner. I put in a styling cream. I put in some gel. And then I twirl it. Then I blow dry it.

216.438 - 220.183 Andrew Scott

And then... Then you use a defibrillator.

221.853 - 223.997 Andrew Scott

Clear! Bang! Clear! Bang!

224.157 - 230.79 Unknown

I do so much stuff. Hostage negotiator comes in. Yeah, but it's been dry lately because I ran out of Argonaut.

Chapter 6: How does Andrew Scott describe his experience filming 'Pressure'?

231.05 - 235.619 Unknown

What would it be like if you didn't use all that? Huh? What would it be like if you didn't use all that? Oh, it's horrific.

0

235.639 - 237.162 Andrew Scott

Okay. So this stuff is expensive?

0

237.142 - 240.907 Unknown

It is expensive, yeah. It's because it's imported. It's expensive.

0

240.927 - 246.314 Andrew Scott

So you have to get it from Morocco. That's the best way to do it. Have you been to Morocco to shop for argan oil?

0

246.595 - 252.542 Unknown

I have not, but I would love to go, and I would go just to shop for argan oil.

252.783 - 263.317 Andrew Scott

I think if they knew, if the people in Morocco knew you were coming to get more of their oil, I think they would try to keep you from showing up. Oh! Because it's just a massive drain on their oil supply.

264.979 - 265.039

Oh!

265.019 - 271.973 Andrew Scott

I just picture huge reservoirs of argon oil being poured over your head just to tame your hair for two hours.

272.995 - 274.578 Unknown

Well, maybe it'll help your hair, too.

Chapter 7: What insights does Andrew have about the importance of playfulness in acting?

276.782 - 278.025 Unknown

I think, yes.

0

278.285 - 283.095 Andrew Scott

Oh, and then slick it and part it down the middle and put on glasses and go, bleh.

0

283.463 - 285.345 Unknown

It's a new look.

0

285.365 - 286.646 Andrew Scott

I'm a bibliophile.

0

287.867 - 291.89 Unknown

Yeah, I would love to go to Morocco to just buy some more argan oil.

291.91 - 297.535 Andrew Scott

Yeah, okay. Not going to happen. Oh, okay. Not on my dime, that's for sure. Hopefully. Do you direct order it from Morocco?

297.575 - 306.563 Unknown

No, but you can only get it because I guess they're just trees that only grow in Morocco. And then they cultivate the oil.

306.583 - 312.508 Andrew Scott

They're cutting down trees in Morocco to tame your hair. No, they're cutting down forests to tame her hair.

312.488 - 313.291 Conan O'Brien

Forest?

Chapter 8: How does Andrew Scott view the relationship between storytelling and Irish culture?

325.06 - 333.054 Andrew Scott

There were monkeys going from tree to tree. And then Sona was born. Oh, man. We need these trees.

0

333.555 - 337.903 Unknown

You thought I'd been using it since I was born? Like I was an infant putting on argan oil?

0

337.983 - 341.93 Andrew Scott

I think you were born with all that hair. I really do. I don't think you were a bald baby.

0

342.211 - 342.712 Unknown

I wasn't.

0

342.812 - 343.693 Andrew Scott

No, I didn't think so.

343.754 - 344.655 Unknown

I actually was not a bald baby.

344.675 - 362.907 Andrew Scott

I didn't think so. Your hair was born maybe two months before you came out. Your mom was braiding it. Well, she'll be here soon. Yeah, that's right. That's the image I want all of you to have. That's how you're actually born, with a handle.

363.208 - 363.408 Unknown

Yeah.

364.45 - 379.053 Andrew Scott

When it was time. They jerked me out. A ripcord, yeah. And swoop. Wah, wah, wah. So anyway, that's insanity. So it's dry now because you're no argon oil. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
