I love that they’re bringing Eduardo into the conversation more and more
The podcast's like a sitcom that's developing their background characters
@@genghiscan2918 The spin-off title writes itself, too.
'Outside "Inside Conan" '
@@Tao_Tology "Beside Conan"
@@nonsensepoem "Without Conan"
For a second I was convinced that Conan had a really cool contribution to Baseball. Then he rambles on about the players catching fire. And I completely lost it. Good one.
I was out right away when he talked about going to thirst. Silly. But, classic Conan. Definitely wasn’t expecting a serious discussion about new rules of baseballs
@@assmane999no, thirst was a good idea
It's not much worse than what mlb is actually doing
Well, the first part of the suggestion doesn't change because of the unrelated additional theatrics of a CGI fire. Being able to run clockwise or counter is not absurd.
I do like the idea of choosing third of first, but that would get complicated, lol.
"let's not be silly about the fire" Conan's facial expression and tone is gold
"And for reasons I don't understand a little asbestos"
Good catch! Those were great lines 👌
asbestos is to discourage players from eating the coin too often. They want to encourage the action of the split ball fielding rule.
@@last808and to make the game a little more dangerous. People will watch if there’s a chance a player may just drop dead in the field.
@@last808 lol
@@assmane999 love you guys
“No I want the concept of baseball to contact me” 😂
I like Sona's idea of the high five as players crossed paths.
And it goes without saying that, when they high-five, both players can choose to take over each other's direction.
So if you pass first and then meet your team mate you _could_ then reverse and go past 1 more base to complete your run.
Obviously, you'd then need to recruit players based on if they were sprinters or long distance runners.
I see no flaws with this idea.
There is nothing better to me than when Conan goes into his '30s broadcasting voice.
Yes.
Yeah sounds exactly like the guy on the Hindenburg recording lol
I love it it's almost as good as his penis's voice
Love it ❤
Conan fans will remember his great remote where he dressed up as an old-timey baseball player and played one of the earliest versions of baseball. So funny!
What I remember was the girl that kept answering Conan with the most depressing responses.
th-cam.com/video/GS39vMhag-A/w-d-xo.html
Conan (points at airplane flying overhead): “what???? What devilry is this!!!!” All time classic
If you threw the ball any lower I’d have to dig to Hades itself to find the apple
Thanks for the cool breeze!
They should have a recurring segment where Conan, Matt, Sona and Eduardo try to improve various sports
And a small team of people to put it into play immediately.
The bases are north, south, east, and west. The mound is surrounded by a moat of fire. You can run either direction but you have to declare your direction of choice to the umpires before the game via email. After each inning, the outfield wall is raised by ten feet. Each team is allowed a spotter to perch on the wall and steal signals but they must only be relayed using American Sign Language or your designated owl.
I mean why not? This is as arbitrary as any set of sportsball rules. 😀
An owl?
Good luck getting them to stay awake for the whole game.
Important question: can you choose to go to north first? Would be a longer path, but maybe you could get a bonus point for a completed run
@@maxlindemann1429 what an incredible addition. YES! an extra run if you score, for braving the moat of fire
@@Tao_Tology 😂😂Omg, the owl comment. So true! Both the suggestion from @walrus_lobotomy & ur observation abt the owl.
I've watched so many of these back to back. No one makes me laugh like Conan, especially with this dynamic, and I have no idea why. Sometimes they literally just talk about nothing and it cracks me up.
I'm a Conan viewer AND a hardcore sportball fanatic. I like foot, I like base, I like basket.
Same!
What about Dodge, Kick, and Tether? 😂
The Savannah Bananas minor league team developed a special version of baseball called bananaball that has lots of great rules like a two-hour time limit, stepping out of the box is an automatic strike, bunting results in an automatic ejection of the batter, no mound visits, batters can steal first base if there’s a wild pitch, batters are out if a fan in the stands catches a foul ball, etc.
I’ve seen a bunch of their tik toks!
No infield fly rule?
i was wondering if he’s heard of them!
That last one is a horribile rule. Foul balls can be fast line drives and have even killed people from hitting them in the head. To have fans actively chasing foul balls, especially if they want their team to win, is dangerous. Mix that with alcohol, lawsuit waiting to happen.
I came here to say that I really thought this pitch resembled banana ball, but was glad to find you beat me to it.
Obviously, for the concept of running in either direction to work, the bases would each have to have two names. If you run counterclockwise, it goes 1-2-3 but If you run clockwise, it goes A-B-C. That means that the infielders would have to be renamed.
The 1st baseman would be called the 1C baseman, the 2nd baseman stays the same, the shortstop is renamed the B baseman, the 3rd baseman becomes 3A baseman, the catcher gets renamed the 4D baseman, and the pitcher is now called Chuck.
This is the podcast at its best. These 4, not Sirius interviews with wealthy out of touch celebs. Great characters, warm, funny interplay. Eduardo brings a whole other element.
Basically Conan wants Blernsball. I'm shocked he didn't bring up the 7th inning grope.
Blern! BLLEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNN!
this is what I came here to say! :D BEAN BEAN BEAN
I love when Conan hosts the podcast in a fleece-lined denim jacket huddled over, arms crossed like a weathered fisherman strolling the rocky shoals of New England in November I’m so glad they added video segments
The sheer suffering in Matt's eyes is unusually relatable! 🙃
I wish they'd post the whole podcast on youtube because I love watching these more than just listening with no video
5:32 “And that’s where I think the flames might help.” 😂
Is this real? An overlap between Conan and baseball? This is amazing!
Conan is a MASSIVE baseball fan, surprisingly he hasn’t brought it up earlier
Conan almost makes the sport interesting
@@timmccarthy9917 Alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllmost
He's into baseball and apparently supports the red Sox, not really a surprise that he brings this up.
th-cam.com/video/GS39vMhag-A/w-d-xo.html
The players being set on fire problem could be solved if water sprinklers popped up at each base. The players would need to run to the sprinkles to put out the flames. It would motivate them to run faster. MY IDEA: there could be a moment when suddenly all the lights go out unexpectedly, but UV black lights turn on, and the players outfits, the ball, bat, and bases contain glowing neon material. I think the spectators would love it! I also think the BALL should burst into fireworks mid-air after the player hits it.
Except certain sprinklers will randomly put out gasoline rather than water, so players must take note before going near a sprinkler. If they choose unwisely, that’s when the lights go out and everyone watches the spiking flames as the burn intensifies.
@@edjames7954 great idea, that's just a risk the players will have to take. In that case, some other the bases will also be laced with gasoline, so it might burst into flames and set the other players on fire.
@@draum8103 I’m just glad they finally realized they needed to start tweaking the game for its entertainment value to the people. They will start adopting more of these changes the more everyone voices their support for it.
But they should make certain uniforms are fireproof before implementing this. We don’t want any burn victims or death. This isn’t Rome.
Come on, now.
He didn't say that they had to be on fire, just that part of their uniforms would briefly emit flames.
You're trying to make the flames idea sound ridiculous.
@@Tao_Tology Stop exaggerating, no I am not. There is nothing ridiculous about baseball players being set on fire during a game. These are top level athletes, if they can't handle a little burning flames, then they shouldn't be in the sport at all and should play pickleball instead.
love when Eduardo gets to join in
I love how Conan’s idea of a robot never evolved past the Jetsons
Lol
"For reasons I don't understand, the coin has asbestos as well." 🤣🤣🤣
Finally, a good baseball podcast. It’s about time.
Anyone else surprised that gourley isn’t at least casually interested in baseball?
Conan’s idea of picking a base running direction is actually very interesting and could make the game much more exciting. MLB should think about it, if they’re willing to change it up
Yeah, but there’s no way they’d be willing. They refused to use instant replay for a long time. They like their traditions.
It sounded good, but then I realized it would get too confusing if the next batter picked to go the other direction.....
@@frackus101
He was saying that would be the best part, since they would ignite a fire when they passed each other on the baseline, going in opposite directions. In reality, that clearly wouldn’t work.
There's so many flaws in the concept. Not to mention rule changes like that are way too drastic for a sport.
Maybe it'll be fun for like a special all stars game
I have totally had the "running the bases in the opposite direction" idea. It's totally arbitrary that they picked the counter-clockwise direction 150+ years ago when they made the rules, could've just as easily been the other direction.
That's just not baseball either. All runners run counter clockwise in tracks for some reason, and that's why it was adopted that way in Baseball too.
Most plays happen at first base and it is easier for a right handed player to throw to first. But, being left handed, I like the idea. Maybe, for starters, run clockwise every other game.
The direction isn’t arbitrary. It’s easier for a right-handed fielder on the left side of the infield to throw to first than a right-handed fielder on the right side of the infield to throw to third.
A right-handed batter also has a direct straightforward route to first base, whereas they have to turn around a quarter to a third to start heading for third.
Since the vast majority of players bat and throw right-handed, the direction of base running makes it easier for both right handed batters and infielders to make plays at the first base, and since by default the majority of base running action is going to be at the first base either way, the current setup favors the easier direction for most players.
I'm assuming that because most people tend to be right-handed, they would usually be facing in that counter-clockwise direction, so it made sense that when they take off towards a base it that way too.
Are you human? Look at the bright line between comments and likes the actual humans and the robotic circle-jerking sock puppets.
About 15% might be human. But the google likes to censor the humans.
Can you believe the google is profiting from the fakes? Me neither.
Players complained the new rules left less time for small talk so maybe as two players going different directions crossed paths they would be required to engage in a small talk convo of at least 2 sentences as they cross.
😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious
“Hey Jim, how’s your wife?”
“You son a bi--!!!”
Would definitely make the game more interesting
We need some Blernsball.
Every time he speaks about something or SOMEONE catching on fire, I laugh. Takes me back to the early Simpsons episodes where many, many things would catch on fire. Work robot Homer, Chief Wiggum on the rolling trashcan. lmao great times Conan you pyromaniac you!
"don't worry, real baseball players won't burn quite so fast"
😂😂😂 well said mister
As a huge baseball fan this is amazing for me.
So what interesting/funny changes to the game would you make?
Love the baseball talk
I don’t watch baseball. I don’t think I’ve seen a single game. I would watch Conan’s vision though.
This reminds me of that Futurama episode. “So they finally jazzed it up!”
Conan just added it's own Golden Snitch to baseball!
The "batter gets to choose a direction" thing is actually a lot of fun and could be made to work. I think what you'd do is any batter who is up to bat when there is nobody on base would get to choose; if there are already batters on base, the hitters that follow have to match the direction that the first runner chose (no crossing). But the base running direction could be decided at least every side of every inning, maybe even during the innings if the bases clear and a batter gets a hit again.
eh, then there's no point, if everybody is matching directions.
@@varanasiwalks1451 Less baserunners on fire, it's true, but it would still put the outfielders on edge and have to adapt more if the baserunning direction flops multiple times every game, especially in that scenario when there's nobody on base and someone gets a hit. Which way they gonna go!?!?
I had the exact same idea (minus the flames) but anytime the bases are empty, the batter gets to select the base direction after the hit for the offense. This would also eliminate left handed/right handed advantages and disadvantages for pitchers and batters.
I have one new rule proposal. The batter can run straight to the 2nd base, but the pitcher can tackle him.
That 'whaaaaattt???' Out of Matt at 7:27 to Sonas fire hair killed me 😂😂
love u Conan 🤣😂🤣😂
I love that Conan describing a robot was basically PimpBot 3000
I like the pyrotechnic idea. I think it could work if the players wore battery packs (this will provide jobs to the field of ergonomics) that have leads to the batting gloves. If the players crossing each other in the base path can "give each other five" while passing AND connect the leads so there is a welding arc flash, then a half point is given to the team up to bat.
Robots could be a thing with Boston Dynamics. Take them out of militant use and have them play baseball. I think though, with the accuracy of the robots, it's only going to work with balls hit out of the park.
This clip is hilarious!
I like the pitch clock (who needs 45 minutes of watching a batter step out every pitch), I even like the bigger bases if it increases steal attempts and bunts....I am against the pick off limit - but only mildly, I would like them to do away with the automatic base on balls (free pass) rule as a lot of crazy things happened when with those 4 pitches
Conan brings the fire!
I've been saying for years these need to be new baseball rules: 1) Reduce to 7 innings: 9 is too long. 2) Bat carry: You can carry the bat to the bases, and take the basemen out before they tag you. 3) exploding baseballs: all baseballs have a timer in them and can "ka-boom" at any moment. enough to stun someone. 4) trap door bases: if you get sucked down you're out for rest of the game.
A great opportunity for Conan to bring back the shy lady from 1882
Finally, Conan and the Chill Chums are back! These are the best videos
Conan: " Let's not be silly about the fire..." ! ! !
2 gallons of mayonnaise and spackle cashier! #RingMeUp #GrowthTips 😂😂😂😂😂
That ending line took me back to Anchorman with Ron Burgundy saying "stay classy, San Diego."
They've never had a podcast conversation quite like this one.
As a baseball fan these are fantastic ideas. The baseball has to have asbestos in it so it doesn't burn up if it hits a flaming runner.
multiple people on the same base is solved by quadrupling the base size. amazing!
I barely understand or enjoy baseball in general, but I can 1000% get on board with Conan and the Chill Chums style baseball, it sounds amazing.
Conan's special rules would actually be a great idea to spice things up in a baseball video game.
The video game SuperBaseball 2020 is what Conan is describing, came out in the 90's
"And again, that's where I think the flames might help." 😂
A quick pyrotechnic burst 😂😂😂
Love baseball. You need to do a baseball pod Conan.
Conan should be the next MLB Commissioner
I agree with the run to first or third rule, with multiple runners on a single base being safe....hell yeah
first 3 minutes was probably the longest conan has ever gone without doing a bit
Dual direction baseball sounds awesome
the fact that this just devolves into Blernsball makes this so much funnier
Gourley is hilarious lol
We’re well on our way to Blurnsball, hooray!
I hope the concept of baseball is the next guest on CONAF 🤞
I love that chocolate asbestos candy! My fave.
He is one of a kind! 🤓
Kujish kujish, lol comic book noises.. 😄
This is the greatest discussion they've ever had on the podcast.
Why do Americans get so hung up about the length of a baseball game when NFL games take longer and NBA games, despite only 48 mins of play take 2.5 hours?
That's a good question/observation. Most of it has to do with the amount of commercials during the games. There's a god-awful amount of them. Plus, Football & Basketball are considered more "fast paced" games" compared to Baseball.
Back when I used to watch Sports, I'd just record a game then start watching it about 1.5 hours after it started. That way I could fast-forward through all the commercials, cutting the viewing time in half.
Conan for commissioner 😂🤘
I would get into sports if this happens 😂😂
Conan Should Watch KBO Korean Baseball It Has Everything In It That He's Talking About Right Now
At times, Sona's "Oh man" reminds me SO MUCH of Bart Simpson. 😂
This is essentially the rules of Calvinba... I mean Conanball
SOMEONE PLEASE ANIMATE THIS!!!!! LOL
fird and thirst base are now in my baseball canon
In Conan's modified game we need the Old Timey uniforms and large mustaches...required for all players.
Conan's next project clearly should be into bringing this version of the sport to life.
If you had one batter get a hit and run to 3rd, next batter get a hit and run to 1st and if the 3rd batter hits the ball you wouldnt automatically get a double play by throwing it to 2nd base because which ever base the 3rd batter chose to go to (either to 3rd or 1st) would force the runner already on that base to run to 2nd while the other runner on the base that the 3rd batter is not running to, can just stay on that base.
So you would get a force out at 2nd and then the fielder would have to throw to the base the 3rd batter chose to run to get a double play. The remaining runner (on the base the 3rd batter chose not to run to) can just stay. This would make triple plays a lot harder since.
Tactically it creates an interesting scenario that when 2 batters hit singles and get on base you're not having to have everyone forced to run like when there are runners on 1st and 2nd now. Hitting into a triple play sucks and ends the innings right there.
I see that Conan has been watching the Savannah Bananas baseball games
beyond hilarity
After listening to this, I would say Conan should basically pitch this to the Savannah Bananas instead of the MLB.
Oh My! Shifting positions would be the biggest problem. Here's my suggestion: First batter in the inning chooses his own base path. This would require a shift by the short stop at least. The problems just multiply from there.
It would be improved by releasing a live tiger into the diamond every third pitch
Conan should rewrite the Abbott and Costello bit, "Who's on first", with his new multi-directional base runs and possibilities.
i am in the league you did the old time baseball bit in.
conan - be the change you want to see! let's see it
Finally Conan got crazy
Great idea to run any direction, more easy double plays in second if you have a player on 1st and another player decides to run to third first, the next batter in he hits a pinch you can make a triple play by thowing to secon and then 1st
The idea before the players catching on fire was genius.
Conan, make this happen. Great idea.
Also, more Eduardo is always GOOD.
I remember reading about the baseball rituals in americas pastime and some of them were hilarious. I am not a sports fan but I remember reading these articles in university and it is hilarious. The one man rain delay for example would take forever. I STRONGLY agree with the pitch clock, also baseball players need to get over superstitions, I dislike superstitions in sports as a former football and rugby player.
Cool jacket Con-con!
This is similar to my long held idea of introducing 2 live balls into the different balls sports like soccer, basketball, etc.
I wouldn't have thought Conan would know about pitching. Thought he was a batter myself haha.
If you ever played Basewars for the NES, then you know how rad robots in baseball would be lol.
