Come on, guys. Yay!

59.785 - 63.93 Conan O'Brien

I like the heroic part. Just fine. We've missed you.

64.211 - 64.551 Sonam Ovsessian

Seriously.

64.651 - 93.423 Conan O'Brien

I've missed you guys. We've missed you. And just to update everybody, you've been on a paternity leave for, I don't know, I only bring it up because I think it's a world record. It says, you know. No, your daughter was born, I believe, eight years ago. She's a freshman in college. Oh, how's she doing? Oh, she's great. No, you've been out for a little while. You've been out for a couple of months.

93.624 - 100.656 Sonam Ovsessian

I did. I took a little extended one and it was the greatest thing. It was fantastic. I missed you guys. I did. But man.

100.997 - 102.82 Conan O'Brien

Well, how's it going? Bring us up to date.

102.8 - 119.947 Sonam Ovsessian

It's going really well. I was able to spend a lot of time with my older daughter, which, you know, was kind of magical. And then my youngest daughter has just fit right in. And, you know, not to get too sentimental, but sometimes when you have those moments in your life that you know to be the best moments, but you only know it after they're done.

Chapter 3: What challenges did Olivia face while pursuing acting?

120.007 - 125.136 Sonam Ovsessian

This was one I could tell when I was in that it was just amazing. That's really nice.

0

125.316 - 130.587 Conan O'Brien

I'm happy that you had that. And also resentful. Yeah, that you took so much time. Let me tell you something.

0

130.648 - 132.092 Sonam Ovsessian

Part of the happiness was I wasn't here.

0

132.292 - 154.766 Conan O'Brien

Exactly. When my daughter was born, I took 20 minutes. And when my son was born, I took four. Now, let me also just add to that. I'm a terrible father. And an awful human being. So, yes. Am I saying this is the way to go? You could have asked for some time. I could have asked for some time. Yeah. That was on me. I think I took a commercial break. We were doing the late night show.

0

154.826 - 159.175 Sonam Ovsessian

The best part is he didn't even have to ask for time. He could have just told people he's taking time. Yeah, exactly.

159.195 - 162.782 Conan O'Brien

I know. I want to say something, though, about your paternity leave real quick.

163.143 - 163.283 Unknown

Mm-hmm.

163.263 - 174.174 Conan O'Brien

It feels like you kept releasing other podcast episodes. It feels like you took a break only from us. And you were still doing all your other podcasts.

174.194 - 176.656 Sonam Ovsessian

I recorded those all before the baby was born. Not true. True story.

Chapter 4: How did Olivia Munn advocate for breast cancer awareness?

216.865 - 223.875 Conan O'Brien

It was a great thing for a little forming brain. It was heaven for me. As that font nail is starting to seal. It was pulsing.

0

223.995 - 224.596 Sonam Ovsessian

It's pulsing.

0

224.616 - 231.269 Conan O'Brien

While we were watching. Yeah. It was crazy. All right. I have some questions. How is your, your youngest daughter's name is?

0

231.51 - 253.479 Sonam Ovsessian

You talking about Nell the smell? Oh, I thought it was, I thought you were going to go. So Nell. Nell, yeah. How is Nell different? She is night and day different than my first daughter. My first daughter is this wonderful tempest, like just so funny, so crazy. Nell just came out, smile. Every time you see her, just a big smile. She just sits there. She's a wonderful little lump on the log.

0

253.519 - 261.446 Sonam Ovsessian

So we got one of each, which kind of magnifies their differences in such a wonderful way. I don't know. It's, I just feel great. I feel lucky. Yeah. Yeah.

262.366 - 268.832 Conan O'Brien

And first of all, you have, you came in, you seem, seem very happy. You've got that kind of, doesn't he not have a glow?

Chapter 5: What insights does Olivia provide about her experience with postpartum anxiety?

268.932 - 270.253 Conan O'Brien

You do have a glow. Well, I birthed,

0

270.233 - 273.559 Sonam Ovsessian

It's the children. Oh, did you now? It's the postpartum glow.

0

273.94 - 275.382 Conan O'Brien

Okay, that sounds fun.

0

275.463 - 289.508 Unknown

That's why he had such a long paternity leave. Yes. Sorry, Matt, you can edit this out if you want to. He did say, when we were sitting around earlier, he did say that, I forget how he phrased it, this time around, he gained a little more weight than the first time. And we were like, for your paternity?

0

289.488 - 316.206 Conan O'Brien

pregnancies or i was trying to explain and now you're gonna make me uh i'm glad adam brought this in because you're a big fat fuck now he i mean you're listening you're all listening but when you waddled in today i put on 10 pounds is that crazy And, hello. Oh, no. I think, I don't know.

316.287 - 320.031 Sonam Ovsessian

I have read somewhere that. Oh, you're still going down this road.

320.111 - 321.153 Conan O'Brien

Oh, no.

321.173 - 340.217 Sonam Ovsessian

I want to hear it. I hate to do this because what if this is just bullshit? All right. But that there is this evolutionary sort of process to men in postpartum that they lose testosterone temporarily. And it's a kind of thing to keep them historically tied to the mother and child. From straying.

340.197 - 365.935 Sonam Ovsessian

yeah from straying and and it's a kind of thing that that has evolved over time and the survival of those fittest people because the father was there with the child and the mother so you're so so i'm so i'm curious how does this relate to you well that gaining weight can be some sympathy weight gained because of the loss of testosterone apparently you also walked in he's got huge breasts now you have huge lactating breasts and you're a big fat fuck

Chapter 6: What did Olivia learn from her breast cancer diagnosis?

472.11 - 476.014 Conan O'Brien

And she was like, no, no, you just have less of that, you know, asshole juice running through your body.

0

476.034 - 478.537 Sonam Ovsessian

See, I went through a male pregnancy. He went through menopause.

0

478.557 - 495.317 Conan O'Brien

Yeah. Oh, I did. I did. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. I don't think that I got the sentimentality. I'm waiting for that part. You know, I don't get all mushy. You don't really ever? I do. When it comes to your kids, especially. No, just when I see old clips of late night.

497.641 - 526.263 Conan O'Brien

Like, ah, look at him with Al Roker. 1994. No, no, I do. I do. Yeah, I know. Well, I'm just saying stuff. But I think, but yeah, I am very, first of all, very glad you're back. Because you are a very important voice here on this show, as you know. And I say that with no ridicule or jokes attached to it. Or seriousness. Yeah. or seriousness, or real honesty.

526.463 - 537.313 Sonam Ovsessian

No, but we're really happy. I'm so glad to be back. I did miss you guys. I edited the show while I was gone, so it was really interesting to hear you guys kind of feel like I was there in a one-way sort of way.

537.333 - 544.78 Conan O'Brien

Were you ever coming in with your panted crits, but then realizing that you were just listening to us and you couldn't participate?

544.94 - 554.715 Sonam Ovsessian

Of course, and I don't have any actual cash with me, but I'm making a $100 bill that I would like to send to Eduardo for his... Lil' Bitch put you in your place.

554.955 - 555.577 Unknown

That's right.

Chapter 7: How does Olivia Munn feel about her journey in the acting industry?

561.894 - 580.047 Conan O'Brien

0

595.573 - 604.67 Sonam Ovsessian

David was fantastic. Yeah. I edited and I at a time was just like, oh, they don't they don't need me. He's great. You know what I mean? No, we need you. No, he was great.

0

604.75 - 612.865 Conan O'Brien

612.885 - 612.985

Yeah.

612.965 - 627.219 Conan O'Brien

And and I listen, I like Hilary Duff. I'd gladly have her here on the pod. Yes. Yeah. Whenever we clear up whatever legal thing we have between us. But but yeah, he is so obsessed with Hilary Duff.

627.319 - 636.348 Sonam Ovsessian

Can I just shout out in all honesty, my wife, who did all the work, obviously, for for all of us. She's been amazing. And so Amanda, the two girls.

Yeah. Yeah. Amanda, your wife, very beautiful, very talented. You're a lucky man. I am. Man, you're lucky. Yeah. Okay. Well, hold on. Jesus Christ. You really lucked out. Well, I'm just saying. It's kind of creepy the way you're saying it. I'm just saying when he said, oh, you got to meet my wife. I thought it was going to be like a broom with a face painted on it. Her name's Amanda.

Chapter 8: What modern slang does Conan test during the episode?

704.579 - 724.848 Conan O'Brien

Your husband. Taktikizian. Yeah. I can't believe I'm saying Taktikizian now. Tak, tak, tak. You don't even know his last name, do you? No, it's Beroian. It isn't. It's Taktikizian. It's not Taktikizian. Oh, yeah. Anyway, this is getting really nice and everything, so I just want to get us back to ground zero. Yeah. Okay? Please do. You suck. You were way too long. I'm fat.

769.422 - 786.642 Conan O'Brien

You think Eduardo went too far? No, I don't think he went too far. I think I would go too far. And I think it's because I was your assistant for so long. And I wouldn't want to. I've never seen. Isn't that weird? I know. I don't know. Wait a minute. You have some tiny bit of professional fear of me. I kind of do. Yes, that's incredible. I do.

0

786.662 - 812.648 Conan O'Brien

I mean, when he said it, everybody else was laughing, and I was like, oh my God, Eduardo. Eduardo was scared. He went home. He was really terrified that it was over. I feel good about it now. And then you remembered who I am. Also, you probably went home thinking, it could be over for me, but if it is, totally worth it. What a way to go. anyone in the country would have hired you.
