74.259 - 75.28 Conan O'Brien

Why don't you take the ball?

75.26 - 81.269 Matt Gourley

Well, in an episode not long ago, we were talking about the epic time that Eduardo called Conan a little bitch.

81.67 - 83.292 Conan O'Brien

Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't know if it's epic time.

83.312 - 83.773 Matt Gourley

It was epic.

One for the ages.

Clutched my pearls.

0

89.942 - 90.563 Conan O'Brien

Hero of mine.

90.904 - 93.067 Matt Gourley

And actually, we were all reveling in it.

93.447 - 102.1 Conan O'Brien

Yes, and just to make it clear, we were talking on a certain subject, and then Eduardo out of nowhere just called me a little bitch. Out of nowhere.

102.12 - 103.883 Unknown

It wasn't out of nowhere. I know, out of nowhere.

103.863 - 108.625 Matt Gourley

Well, I think we're going to litigate this again because I'm talking about the time we were talking about that.

Chapter 4: What humorous stories does Conan share about past guests?

133.442 - 135.405 Conan O'Brien

I kind of stopped us all.

0

135.745 - 146.546 Unknown

I don't think I would ever, I don't think I could ever call you a bitch again. It just feels like. And then you said you still have a little bit of professional fear. And I, I, I think I do.

0

146.586 - 151.838 Conan O'Brien

And it was so funny because you have kicked my ass to the curb in so many different ways.

0

151.858 - 154.243 Unknown

I've called you a dick. Sure. I've called you an asshole.

0

154.364 - 155.887 Conan O'Brien

Well, I am those things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

156.068 - 158.794 Unknown

I don't know why bitch feels like it's a little too hard.

158.774 - 159.195 Conan O'Brien

Harsh.

Chapter 5: How has the landscape of late-night television changed?

159.315 - 167.149 Conan O'Brien

No, but to you, it it stopped you a little bit. And you were surprised that Eduardo said it. Yeah. And you thought I couldn't go that far.

0

167.309 - 167.57 Unknown

Yes.

0

167.971 - 174.663 Conan O'Brien

OK, well, some information has come in over the transom. And Matt, you were the keeper of this information. Care to tell us about it?

0

174.723 - 182.757 Matt Gourley

Well, as soon as we left that segment, Sam Curry, who handles all the wonderful social media, put a clip in all of our faces. Let's just roll the clip.

0

182.804 - 184.066 Unknown

We can talk shit, right?

184.246 - 188.352 Conan O'Brien

The dreaded Sonam of Session, who's terrific at cornhole. Yeah, I'm terrific.

188.852 - 199.607 Unknown

Come on, you little bitch. Fucking can't throw, you little bitch. What wasted height. God, this is embarrassing for you. Loser. You can't fucking talk to me.

199.788 - 201.73 Conan O'Brien

I'm not worried about this at all.

201.75 - 218.515 Unknown

I can't get better at this. If we did a competition where we built wooden airplanes, you'd win. Dork. Someone's getting hurt because of you. She's losing! I don't think I've ever seen you throw anything.

Chapter 6: What insights does Patton offer about the pressures of performing?

263.974 - 267.639 Conan O'Brien

That was one of those. It was one of those summer s'mores. So you were drinking alcohol.

0

267.739 - 268.42 Unknown

Yes, I was.

0

268.66 - 272.827 Conan O'Brien

I don't even remember. But you probably made the cocktail. I did, I think. Yeah, I had some liquid courage.

0

272.887 - 273.909 Unknown

What was in there, do you think?

0

274.029 - 282.023 Conan O'Brien

Yeah, so you... The chocolate one? Well, no, I don't know. Okay, I guess my point is, your defense is that you were drinking.

282.183 - 282.444 Matt Gourley

Yeah.

282.464 - 290.959 Conan O'Brien

And we all know that in vino veritas, truth comes out of drinking. So all that reveals is that you really do think I'm a little bitch. You are a little bitch.

290.939 - 299.392 Unknown

Here's what I know. I know I get competitive and I know we were competing and I'm even more competitive when I'm competing against you.

299.573 - 301.376 Conan O'Brien

Yes. And you'd been drinking.

Chapter 7: How does Patton's experience with his children influence his comedy?

411.12 - 414.366 Conan O'Brien

Yeah. I once had a rum flavored lozenge and woke up in the library.

0

414.346 - 416.209 Matt Gourley

You're looking at two little bitches here.

0

416.37 - 423.763 Conan O'Brien

Yeah, I'm a little bitch. And by the way, that's the big that's the big reveal from my doctor is, yes, it came back.

0

423.963 - 428.19 Unknown

No, I mean, when I used to go out and I would, you know, I would drink pretty heavily.

0

428.29 - 429.452 Conan O'Brien

And then I remember. Sure.

429.733 - 433.099 Unknown

Don't don't add commentary. OK.

433.54 - 449.661 Conan O'Brien

Oh, sorry. I thought this was a podcast with my fucking name on it. I don't need your audio additions.

449.961 - 456.128 Unknown

I do. And I think I would. It's not that I blacked out. It's that I was loopy doopy.

456.148 - 457.33 Conan O'Brien

You went into a fugue state.

Chapter 8: What themes emerge in Patton's latest special, Tea & Scotch?

752.791 - 760.404 Conan O'Brien

This is back in the day. It's all changed seismically since then. Yes. So the next thing I know- Seismically is a good way to put it.

0

760.485 - 760.725 Patton Oswalt

Yes.

0

760.985 - 777.048 Conan O'Brien

I am talking to a young woman's interviewing us while Rose and I are finger painting. Yes. And then that would be over and they'd say, get rid of the finger paints, get rid of the finger paints. And then they'd bring in a little blonde Austrian boy named Guter.

0

777.508 - 796.99 Conan O'Brien

And he, his bit is you both have to put on Flemish armor while Guter throws ping pongs at you, ping pong balls, and they have little questions and you have to catch them and then answer the questions you catch. And 900 billion views. And you do these, and it's one thing for me to do it because people are used to me being humiliated all the time.

796.97 - 812.108 Conan O'Brien

But Dame Judi Dench has to be lowered into a giant toilet filled with hot caramel, and then the person asks her questions about her career. And it's called, you know, Schicksalhausen.

812.268 - 835.54 Patton Oswalt

Yes, exactly. We're promoting the movie The Queen, and what better way to do it than on Royal Flush? Yeah, yeah. That's where we... But okay, here's what's even weirder, though. You're in a movie called If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You, which is a very, like, kind of, it has funny parts to it, but it's a drama. It's a very dark drama, and you're doing finger painting. Yes.

835.841 - 847.972 Patton Oswalt

So that's like having Willem Dafoe and Charlie Sheen, like, doing, playing Gnip-Gnop, going, go see Platoon. It's a really dark movie about, oh, you got through, Willem.

847.992 - 855.031 Conan O'Brien

The loss of America's innocence. Man's in humanity to me. Got it! My hippo beat your hippo.

855.051 - 857.2 Patton Oswalt

I guess I was hungrier, Willem.
