0

196.656 - 218.529 Conan O'Brien

There was a lot of craziness. And I mean, we've talked about this, but anytime I played any sports activity with other kids, all I did was talk and make up who I was. And to describe who my character was and how I had been in prison, but I just got out because I had murdered a fan in the stands. But now they're giving me a second chance. I knew my name. I knew my whole backstory.

0

218.649 - 231.851 Conan O'Brien

And my brother, Luke, my poor brother, Luke, is a saint. He's a year older than me. We'd be like, just play the game. We'd play these pickup basketball games. And these people sometimes wouldn't even know me. And I'd be like, yeah, see, this is who I am, see?

232.131 - 234.131 Unknown Speaker

You did it in front of people you didn't even know?

234.191 - 234.851 Conan O'Brien

Sometimes, yeah.

234.891 - 239.812 Unknown Speaker

So, like, there was never this thing in your brain that was like, ugh. God, people are going to think I'm crazy.

420.732 - 422.633 Conan O'Brien

And I cry when I masturbate. It's true.

422.873 - 429.679 Sarah Silverman

I don't know why this happened, but all I all I've been singing on the way. Are you still laughing about you crying when you masturbate?

429.719 - 432.982 Conan O'Brien

I guess. Yeah. Laughing to cover up the fact that it might be true. Go ahead.

434.883 - 446.351 Sarah Silverman

I've been singing Conan, don't be discouraged. The man, he isn't hard to understand. Is that right? I can't remember the rest.

0

641.973 - 643.293 Conan O'Brien

Even this guy.

643.453 - 644.874 Sarah Silverman

Very exciting that you came.

644.914 - 672.075 Conan O'Brien

When I show up, people are, even the biggest stars get excited. Owen Wilson couldn't work up the nerve to come up and talk to me. Yeah, it was exciting to see. It was, I don't know. And you know what I admire about you? You're very funny and you keep branching out. I saw you in Maestro and I thought you were a terrific actor. Is that something that you've wanted to do? Did you think about acting?

672.695 - 679.638 Conan O'Brien

Because I always, you know, I didn't know if that was something that you had like an arrow in your quiver for a while. You're just like, I want to try this at some point.

679.718 - 702.249 Sarah Silverman

What is this acting thing? Yeah. No, I always wanted to be an actor. Really? Yeah. But I always wanted to be a comic. And then that really is, you know, more like I always think that's like being gay, being a comedian, you know, because you're like born that way. Right. There's nothing you can do about it. Right. And you should just let your freak flag fly. Yes.

Chapter 5: What insights does Conan O'Brien share about his career?

836.841 - 837.481 Sarah Silverman

That's for sure.

0

837.742 - 839.504 Matt Gourley

It does make the peepers pop.

0

841.555 - 853.503 Conan O'Brien

I distracted you. You like to audition. But they still know it's you. And they know that, you know, what I'm saying is you can't go in anonymously. So sometimes you might even have a higher bar to clear because they're like, oh, it's Sarah Silverman.

0

853.603 - 876.912 Sarah Silverman

No, no. People won't get lost in it. You know, like I this great writer director had a series on Apple Plus. I guess I shouldn't say that. Whatever. And he asked me to be in it. Mm hmm. And a great role. And I was like, great, you know. And then and I've had to do this before, too. So I had compassion. But he he had to call me and be like, I'm horrified.

0

877.933 - 898.95 Sarah Silverman

The people at Apple Plus don't want you for the part. They feel like the people won't get lost in you or whatever. And I was like. I totally understand that because I had a pilot once and I asked this amazing director to direct it. And he got right back to me and was like, yes, I'm in. And he's like this awesome, cool, far out director. And then it was for NBC years ago.

898.97 - 914.309 Sarah Silverman

And they were like, oh, no, we don't approve him. What? Oh, my God. I mean, that was awful. Not that good a story, but thank you for your. This is how you react in a podcast. It is. Yeah. I'm killing.

914.349 - 916.634 Sona Movsesian

Luke, I am your father.

918.838 - 930.576 Conan O'Brien

It's kind of close to that. I... I think that there were many years where I could have made it when I was young as a leading man.

930.596 - 931.417 Sarah Silverman

What would you play?

Chapter 6: How do Sarah Silverman and Conan O'Brien discuss anatomy humorously?

1098.223 - 1099.464 Sarah Silverman

Labia is the lips.

0

1099.544 - 1099.724 Unknown Speaker

Yeah.

0

1101.045 - 1125.218 Sarah Silverman

I recently learned all this. Vagina is the hole that is the hole where the penis goes in and the baby comes out. The urethra is not on your clitoris, but it basically is. I think it's like under the hood of it or something. And it's the tiniest hole that somehow like five streams come out of. You know what's crazy?

0

1125.338 - 1126.298 Conan O'Brien

I'm learning shit.

0

1126.739 - 1127.539 Sarah Silverman

No, I didn't know.

1127.679 - 1133.2 Conan O'Brien

I am a grown-ass adult with two children, and I'm learning. I didn't. Okay, keep going.

1133.26 - 1140.661 Sarah Silverman

And then the vagina is just the whole. It's not the whole. It's not the thing. The thing is called the labia. I've been spanked about this.

1141.322 - 1143.062 Conan O'Brien

Bet you have.

1143.642 - 1144.702 Sarah Silverman

Yeah, I think.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the 'pussy walls' joke?

1219.924 - 1237.28 Sarah Silverman

And yeah, it's... I see that. I picture it like it's like pulled back with little pins like the... Like a butterfly. Or yeah, like a frog that you dissect or something. Oh, no. It's filleted. Yeah, because there's so many folds. I...

0

1239.542 - 1240.883 Conan O'Brien

You know what I want?

0

1241.223 - 1247.346 Sarah Silverman

I don't know if mine is one time many years ago. I'm sorry. I'm talking way too much.

0

1247.366 - 1252.749 Conan O'Brien

This is fantastic. I love this. One time. Gather around, kids. Campfire. Go ahead.

0

1252.769 - 1256.732 Sarah Silverman

Who's upstairs? I mean, this is a visual. Really? Wait, can I have your pen?

1256.872 - 1257.032 Conan O'Brien

Sure.

1257.952 - 1283.117 Sarah Silverman

but i was at the cellar a million years ago the comedy cellar sorry and i was sitting at a booth across mark maron and i don't remember who suggested this honestly but we both we each drew a picture of a vagina and then we showed it to each other and it was so embarrassing because mine was like our we exposed it and then his was like that like

1283.637 - 1316.847 Sarah Silverman

two parentheses in a line and then mine was like so much it was so much but like I don't know if that's just me I don't think that my vagina is like maybe that's more of a expressionist it looks like a salad My vagina looks like a salad. I don't know. Is that not? You know what? Yeah, I can see that. It's like, yes, the hot dog bun. But then if you open that up, there's a world.

1317.367 - 1328.912 Conan O'Brien

A whole world to be found. I don't know. What is it? Nikki Glaser said that it looked like a hastily packed suitcase. Image got into my head.

Chapter 8: What are some memorable moments from the podcast?

1425.685 - 1431.226 Unknown Speaker

I mean, that would be fun. Yeah. I mean, it does take a lot of twists and turns. Like a vagina. Right?

0

1431.346 - 1433.507 Conan O'Brien

No. What do you mean twists and turns?

0

1433.527 - 1434.847 Unknown Speaker

I don't know what I said.

0

1434.967 - 1439.249 Sarah Silverman

China's like driving in Italy. It's like... What?

0

1439.749 - 1442.77 Conan O'Brien

You could get killed at any moment.

1442.79 - 1448.112 Sarah Silverman

You can't believe there's only one lane. There's an ocean. There's like a huge cliff with an ocean.

1448.132 - 1466.206 Conan O'Brien

Something there's a burrow in the road. This is... This just reminds me exactly of the Dana Carvey conversation I had. This is why I don't worry about you. I don't worry about you at all because we start talking and then suddenly vaginas are flying around.

1466.286 - 1487.913 Sarah Silverman

I did think of something yesterday that I thought only Conan will. Well, you know, I mean, gosh, I can't really do this in stand up because I don't feel like anybody would remember. But I do think that they should reveal the Epstein files. but it should be the Juan Epstein files. And all of them are signed Epstein's mother.

1488.753 - 1497.419 Conan O'Brien

Man, this is your second 70s sitcom reference. I love it. Mr. Cotter. Did you ever watch Welcome Back, Cotter?
