What is the premise of 'Snack Attack with Talent Coordinator Maddie Ogden'?

Conan O'Brien 0:13
Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan. Now, these drop, that's what the kids say, on Wednesdays. Thursdays. What's that?
Sona Movsesian 0:23
Thursdays.
Conan O'Brien 0:24
Oh, I don't get out much. Do you go out to get your podcast? Is that what you do? We're doing something a little different today. Sometimes in this slot, I talk to a fan, but we had a different notion in mind. In fact, I did. Yeah, this is you. This is me. This comes from me. You know I like to run a tight ship. I like to make sure that, no, I'm serious.

How does Conan O'Brien manage Team Coco?

Conan O'Brien 0:46
I'm at the helm of a powerful company, an industry really, Team Coco. And I am constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency. I'm kind of Muskian, almost. No. Did I go the wrong way? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll think of a better way.
Sona Movsesian 1:04
In every term of Musk, you're not the Musk.
Conan O'Brien 1:07
Okay, okay. Okay, that was the wrong way to go. I think of myself as sort of... And it was Santa, Santa walking through the workshop, making sure that all of the elves are hard at work making the toys.
Matt Gourley 1:22
No.
Conan O'Brien 1:23
No? No closer.
Matt Gourley 1:24
This is the furthest thing from a tight ship I think I can think of.
Sona Movsesian 1:28
Really?
Matt Gourley 1:29
If this was the North Pole and you were Santa, there would be no Christmas.
Sona Movsesian 1:33
Right. Have you ever seen Ghost Ship where everybody gets bisected by a metal cable? That's kind of what this is.
Matt Gourley 1:40
I have not seen that movie.
Conan O'Brien 1:42
And guess what? Now I don't have to see it. You just totally ruined the whole movie. That's how the movie opens. The movie opens with that? It's the best opening of the movie ever. I watch most movies thinking, I wonder if anyone gets bisected by a cable.
Sona Movsesian 1:56
It's a whole party full of people that gets bisected.
Conan O'Brien 1:59
And what happens? The boat goes underneath the cable?
Sona Movsesian 2:01
It's like, no, it's some line on the ship that gets broken and then like 50 people at a 1920s party just get severed in half and that becomes the ghost ship.
Conan O'Brien 2:11
You know what? This is proof that I don't run a tight ship. Because I just let you bibble and babble on about ghost ship and you use the word bisect like nine times.

Why is Conan concerned about the studio snack basket?

Matt Gourley 2:22
Do you think this is how Santa treats his elves?
Conan O'Brien 2:25
I think these fucking elves should get their asses in here.
Matt Gourley 2:29
I think he's a jolly man. He seems nice to the elves.
Conan O'Brien 2:32
You know what? If I ran the North Pole, those toys would get out on time. There wouldn't be any complaints. Most kids would get coal, even the good kids. And by the way, coal is worth more, you know, these days. It's true.
Matt Gourley 2:46
It's not.
Conan O'Brien 2:47
What are you talking about? Coal? Yeah, coal.
Matt Gourley 2:49
Okay.
Conan O'Brien 2:49
It's a source of petrol. Anyhoots, I had a purpose in doing this, which is I've been irritated by something recently. I've noticed that there's a flaw in our system, okay? When we have guests on the show, and we have some pretty big names come here, we do a very nice thing, which is we put out this basket of treats for them.

What types of snacks does Maddie Ogden provide?

Conan O'Brien 3:11
Lately, I've been looking, and there's a nice little sign on the basket of treats that says, welcome, and then celebrity. That's very thoughtful. Yeah, it is very sweet. If Will Ferrell's here, it's like, welcome, Will. Whatever, it's a nice thing. It's very friendly. And it's all put together by Maddie Ogden, who's our talent coordinator. And she does a great job of making sure that everyone's very well taken care of. But lately, I've been just looking at the basket, and the basket is an abomination. Yeah. I mean, it's a crime. It is packed with all this aggressively healthy eco snacks. And I, first of all, I'm noticing not a lot of people are taking the baskets. I don't think anybody takes the baskets.
Conan O'Brien 3:56
And it used to be filled with really fun things, like, oh, a chocolate-covered pretzel, and here's some raisinets, and here's some this and that. Lately, I don't know what's going on, but I want to get Maddie Ogden in here if she's in the building. Wow. Disagree.
Sona Movsesian 4:10
I want to find out what's going on. Do you have any exhibit A's?
Conan O'Brien 4:14
Yeah, I have some exhibits here. So let's get Maddie here. Maddie, I hope. Come on in, Maddie. Maddie! Maddie!
