How does Christina Ricci feel about being Conan's friend?
Hi, my name is Christina Ricci. And I feel pretty good about being Conan O'Brien's name. Pretty good. Oh, my God. I don't think pretty good is a bad thing, but I've had this argument with an ex-boyfriend who was like, why is qualifying good? It means it isn't that good. Yeah.
And I was like, no, it's pretty good. I'm falling right into the old boyfriend mode. Pretty good? What's wrong with, like, amazing or really good or just good?
I feel fantastic.
No, too late.
Oh, shit.
Um...
I can tell that we are going to be friends.
What is the premise of Conan O'Brien's podcast episode?
Hey there, and welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Everything is different today. Everything is different today, and not in a good way. Let me explain. Matt Gourley called in. He says he's sick. I suspect him of just goofing around or whatever. He didn't seem sick. I saw him yesterday. I saw him this morning.
Do you guys hang out without me?
I live with him.
We live together. I saw him on a Zoom today. He looked rough. Oh, he did?
He might really be sick. He was laying down. Yeah. Well, it doesn't mean he's sick. It just means he's relaxing. Anyway, Matt Gorley not here. So what happens is they said, okay, Matt Gorley's not here. Is it okay if David Hopping sits in? And I'm like, ugh. Sure. But then I said, okay, no, David, you know that you filled in for Sona. You now do the day-to-day assistant stuff.
What technical difficulties did Conan face during this episode?
And Sona, I don't know what you do, but somehow you get paid more than you ever were paid before. But anyway, who can understand how this company works? I don't know who's in charge. So you're sitting in, but then we're about to record, and a bunch of people I don't even know come out of the house, the house, the studio, and they say, the camera's down. Conan's camera's down. People were... scrambling around because this can also be seen on the YouTube.
Yeah.
It can be seen on the various. The YouTube.
On the YouTube.
The YouTube. Well, on the various YouTubes. Yes, YouTube. Feel free to jump in at any time there.
Sure talk a lot. YouTube and our social channels. Yes.
No, no. And don't feel like I just shamed you. You're allowed to jump in whenever you want. Yeah. Just make sure it's valuable. So there's video. My camera's down. My camera's usually right across from me that way. But now my camera's way over to this side. And I have to twerk my whole body to see my camera and put those blue peepers. Into the everlasting light. Now, here's the other thing that's different. Sona usually sits over on this side next to me. She's always to my right. Andy Richter, all those years that I was doing the talk show, almost 30 years, was to my right. Sona is now diagonally across from me. Yeah. And so I don't like that. I don't like anything that's happening today. And I look directly across from me and you're here, David. Yeah.
So everything, and I know people say, what's the diff? What's the big diff? Larry Bird. Larry Bird, when he played for the Celtics, and he was on that parquet floor in the old garden, he knew where the dead spots were in the wood. He knew that court inside and out, and this is my court. I am Larry Bird. This is my parquet floor. The year is 1984, and I'm playing at an incredible elite level, and I've got a very wispy mustache on my upper lip. And I come from French Lick. And my shorts are way too short, like everyone else in the NBA. I mean, you're just about to see anything jump out at any second. And that's me. And then suddenly they said to Larry Bird in 1984, something's going on with the garden. We got a problem.
You're not going to play there. And also your teammates that you rely on aren't going to be there. Some of them are missing. Well, who's missing? Well, Robert Parrish isn't going to be there. Robert Parrish isn't going to be there! Kevin McHale's not going to be there. Who's going to fill in? Burt Zeisterman and Josh Galabana. They're sitting in. What's that?
You're saying Larry Burt didn't know how to play on the road? It's not like the Celtics played all their games at home.
Eduardo, if you ever speak to me again, it'll be the last time you speak to me. No, I'm just saying that he's preparing himself for a home game. OK, yes, I know that they would play on the road, but I'm sure Larry Bird familiarized himself with those courts as well. What I'm saying is they took away some of his his personnel.
