I've long enjoyed Vir both as a comic and, even bigger picture, as a personality who has things to say about the world. He's so good at overcoming his baggage to share a perspective with others in a way that makes sense.
Doctor here. It is actually VERY common to take out someone’s appendix, even without appendicitis. Not only in this very uncommon scenario, but also in situations like abdominal surgeries (e.g. gallbladder surgery for stones) in which they might as well also take the appendix out to prevent a future appendicitis (as it’s potential usefulness as a vestigial organ is weighed against the possible risk of appendicitis or abdominal scar tissue that will make it hard to access the appendix in that scenario).
Except on very rare occasions appendicitis can be diagnosed clinically even without an ultrasound scan. And it's very hard to fake it. Those doctors, I hate to say it, must be pretty stupid.
I did the same thing when I was bullied in high school, I would try to verbally reason with the bully while he was beating me up, like I was in court or something. I have a tendency to overthink everything and try to find logical connections, so I just intellectually could not fathom why I was being assaulted for no reason, I should have just fought back obviously, but... that's not how my brain works.
At that point you have to remove the appendix no matter what, because you'll have a scar that that location, and future doctors will see that and presume you've had an appendectomy. So you don't want an appendectomy scar without removing the appendix, no matter if it is inflamed or not.
@@MrMishal03 They're referring to the Bengal famine that killed millions in the East of india of which Bihar was also largely affected. So it really doesn't matter!
Vir das has a very charming way on ending the last lines of his conversations very poignantly. Thats what separates him from the other comics in India. His ability as a storyteller.
But he didn't have a rough childhood at all. He said himself he's from a privileged household, could be the top 1% of the whole country, and if you know the developing world, there is much more of a gap, so they were probably like royalty, walking around with their noses up, living behind gates and walls and having it all, being connected to the global world, he could go from one private school to another rich wealthy private school, could go to America, to Hollywood. Most Americans can't afford to travel that much. But him moving for these opportunities is the complaint. That is not a rough childhood at all. That is extremely out of touch and wealthy. Sure, as a kid, you might not like to move, also as a kid you adjust pretty fast. There are worse problems than private schools and private universities and going from one privileged neighborhood to the next, and there are worse childhoods.
@@TRex-dd4ze If it's rough on him, then it's a rough childhood. I don't think he's comparing it to a childhood of poverty or material hardship. But if he wasn't given the emotional support he needed, that's still rough.
I went to boarding school from age 9 to 16 and yes, I am an Indian. Plus I had the same surgery last year. So, I really relate to him. And it was not funny. It is sad. To be a child and to say okay to a surgery which u don't need just to get away from ur situation and be with ur parents. I think it's safe to say he has horrible parents.
@@nitishsaxena1372 not as much as people say. I had a nice life there but ragging can be an issue for people. Other than that I think it's better than normal school
How? Don't they look for elevated CRP or WBC, or not see inflammation or perforation on the xray? How do they just remove an appendix without good reason
"I never went to private school" says the guy that went to Harvard which is a private school that at one point had a religious affiliation... I like conan but just because they haven't been affiliated with any religion for awhile doesn't mean the way they run the school didn't change
LOL it's funny to hear about rich people problems. He's from a privileged household, maybe in the top 1% of the Indian population, gets to travel all over the world, attend the best schools, be in America or elsewhere, but moving a lot to do these things and have these privileges is what the complaint is about. Not to diminish it. Everyone has their own issues and all are important when it's that personal. But there are much harder struggles. To name a few: life-changing health problems, having abusive parents, not having enough to eat, not being able to go to university at all because you don't have money, saving for 10-20 years just to get a start because of how you were not handed it by your parents, victims of war, violent crime, etc... But his rich LA Hollywood friends thought of him as Bollywood... well...
He never said he had the most difficult childhood /life. Ofcourse there are bigger sufferings but from his perspective he felt what he felt. It was not a comparative but a simple straightforward sentence. Even well off people can also experience crisis.
@@chandankumar10360 “You had such a fascinating upbringing and childhood and I’ve always had this theory that if someone is challenged when they’re growing up … that can be an impetus for great things, even if it’s unpleasant to go through at the time”. Conan said this. Conan also reacts to Vir Das going to boarding school (a privileged exclusive rich boarding school) with “oh my God” like he just heard something devastating. And Sonia is responding with “oh no” to his story. They're presenting his privileges as horrors. Conan even brought in Churchill to the discussion and how Churchill’s struggles, perhaps much like Vir Das’s is prepping someone to defeat Hitler, someone that tough. Conan said Vir Das is going to be that tough guy because he was forged in the fire of struggle. It’s one thing to talk about some of the downsides of boarding school, or some of the struggles of a rich life, like being different from others or the servants don't understand you enough, along with the benefits, but don’t equate going to boarding school, where you have ironed pressed shirts and meals served to you and private tutors, some of the best formal education, and private nurses that will bring you to free surgeries if you need it, with an all-round rough childhood, and as one of the roughest where you’re going to create such a tough guy as to defeat Hitler. It’s just so over-the-top ridiculous and out of touch. They’re presenting Vir Das’s story as this getting out of the ghetto story, or rags to riches, or such a sympathetic tear-jerker sob story… when it’s not that. It’s a story of starting rich and ending rich, a story of never being in the ghetto, of your parents handing you all sorts of wealth and opportunities from around the globe that you never had to get on your own. This discussion needed a little more perspective or something injected into it. It’s just too over the top and disconnected with reality.
I bet this interview gets to you, conan. I bet it sticks in your head and you can't shake it, cuz your whole model lately is just about making your friends laugh.... cuz it always seems like you only play off of an audience. And Gourly and Sona and whoever your various guests are sometimes are like your only audience now. But they're always people your friends or friendly with. And now this guy has pointed out the observation that it's a disservice to one's comedy to just make their friends laugh and you agreed with it so.... I bet this eat away at your sleep at night. 😂🤣😂🤣
I bet it absolutely does not. Lmao. If you think he's losing sleep over any of that, as if he doesn't run a fkn podcast that goes out to millions of people (making them laugh), you're certainly delusional
I think after the 30 or so years of making people laugh just about every night on TV MORE than makes up for his supposed need external validation from anyone that isn't his friends or immediate coworkers.
@@SourMoonBlues same thing I said the last guy goes to you. If you're going to argue with me saying this stuff did argue with him, cuz I was only saying for the same reason. Buffoon

But why didn't they do a CT first? Lol
No investigation is 100% sensitive and specific lol. Gold standard most of the times is direct examination after opening up that is in surgery.
@@DrSahil283 he is right. Mant times inflamed appendix may not show features on radiology.
Except on very rare occasions appendicitis can be diagnosed clinically even without an ultrasound scan. And it's very hard to fake it. Those doctors, I hate to say it, must be pretty stupid.
Diagnosis of Appendicitis is clinical not radiological!
U can’t help but love Sona and Conan…such engaging interactions ❤
How straight their face is when they're cracking us up is just ...yk
God that was hilarious, and to Vir, you made 'this' stranger laugh, and often, during this conversation.
I did the same thing when I was bullied in high school, I would try to verbally reason with the bully while he was beating me up, like I was in court or something.

Conan gushing about Churchill in front of a Bengali person ?? Oh dear.
IKR? Churchill may as well be their Hitler while he was fighting the actual Hitler.
he is not Bengali. He is Bihari. FYI
@@MrMishal03 They're referring to the Bengal famine that killed millions in the East of india of which Bihar was also largely affected. So it really doesn't matter!
I gasped
I was hoping Vir ends that segment with a savage burn on Churchill.
Vir das has a very charming way on ending the last lines of his conversations very poignantly. Thats what separates him from the other comics in India. His ability as a storyteller.
Cool to see an Indian comic here. Vir is a brave, good dude by what we know.
Their reaction to his appendicitis story at 5:54 is so accurate
Omg conan has white beard what a time
2:37 Das getting emotional when he says "forgotten about me".
Is Conan bringing the beard back?
I seem to remember a recent episode where he cut himself shaving. Might also have something to do with that
omg I hope so
I’d like to see how far he lets it grow. I kinda want him to have a huge Letterman beard but I’m also so used to clean-shaven Conan.
I can’t see his mustache yet, so he kinda looks like early stages amish
I can hear the crowd from the Pink Floyd album The Wall shouting: Bring Back The Beard, bring back the beard. 😊
Finally,was waiting for this conversation
The people who survive a rough childhood to become successful are not the norm. Most end up having very hard lives.
But he didn't have a rough childhood at all. He said himself he's from a privileged household, could be the top 1% of the whole country, and if you know the developing world, there is much more of a gap, so they were probably like royalty, walking around with their noses up, living behind gates and walls and having it all, being connected to the global world, he could go from one private school to another rich wealthy private school, could go to America, to Hollywood.

Amazing podcast episode
Many a night you kept me in good company sir! Hats off to you Conan!
Really? Or are you simply joking? Kept you company? How?
@@h3llbouy late night my friend.
@@MyDumbFace ok, i see. Thanks buddy
That’s what you call doing it for the bit 😂
huh not aware Vir Das lived in Nigeria, would love to hear stories from there in a future standup
I guess he did it in the special 'Losing it'
I went to Boarding school in India at the age of 9 . Best experience of my life . I went to Sainik school.
Beard is coming back!!! Yes
Conan looks great with or without the big hair. He has the look...fab

Which school? Cause I went to a certain boarding school as well in Shimla
@@WALTERTIGHT Navodaya
Is it really that bad going to a boarding school?
@@nitishsaxena1372 not as much as people say. I had a nice life there but ragging can be an issue for people. Other than that I think it's better than normal school
With that beard, Conan looks like he spent one day without Sona’s assistance. But he’s pulling it off, as usual!
conan, loved when u did dance without music before u were on you tube.
Finally it’s back!!! The beard the beard yes!!
The letters thing I can relate to. Boarding school thing
I choked when I heard this story 😂
How? Don't they look for elevated CRP or WBC, or not see inflammation or perforation on the xray? How do they just remove an appendix without good reason
I was waiting for thissssssss❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love Conan ❤️
What a lovely man
At 7:00 Vir is referring to his cool classmate PapaCJ.....
The Small Sick
Beard Conan arrives 🧔
No Conan. No gray beard. Don't age.
He looks great!
Boarding school kid here. Misfit as well
Way to go Vir
Very good 😂😂
Beard Coco!🎉
Good god conan with a beard was freighting. don't get me wrong he looks great in a complete beard but that little beard scared me.
He’s happy, time to beat him…lol wow
Did he fire Matt?
Vir was on Cyrus Says first. Just saying.
Where is Gourley?
He died.
I see a comedy series about childhood😃
Conan come to India
I want to see him in India too but lots of Government issues 🥺🥺
@@IamSH1VA what issues?
Me too but I don't think he should. Some group will always find a lame excuse to turn the whole thing into a controversy 😑
@@megsie1424 you are right
Sona is like the Archana Puran Singh of this show.
Yeah.. 😁 She's so sweet
❤️❤️❤️
What Did Erika Tell Ross About The One That Makes Everybody Sleepy ?
Go to know vir das perspective
Ginger Hair
Black mustache
White beard
Conan's beard aged faster than his head.
That’s pretty common.
Bearded Conan is back??
Lol
What is going on with Conan’s chin?!?!
"I never went to private school" says the guy that went to Harvard which is a private school that at one point had a religious affiliation... I like conan but just because they haven't been affiliated with any religion for awhile doesn't mean the way they run the school didn't change
Churchill the most awful man. Caused the bengal famine
Please Conan don't grow the beard. Do you want Will Ferrell to visit you?
Conan got old.

He literally started the clip with "very privileged household". Go cry on twitter or something smh.
So privileged kids don't get abused in boarding schools? A child is a child.
@@carpediem8533 He never said anything about abuse
He never said he had the most difficult childhood /life.
Ofcourse there are bigger sufferings but from his perspective he felt what he felt. It was not a comparative but a simple straightforward sentence.
