They should do "Winter Cocoa with Conan and the Chill Chums" in January or February, similar to the Summer S'mores series. Just the three of them, hot chocolate, a nice fire place, and some cozy sounds and decorations. Even if it was just like two episodes, and in the studio with like a fireplace on the screen, I think it would be amazing!
Matt is the kind of person who cherishes his Pub Trivia trophies as if they were Emmys that were handed to him at the podium by Carol Burnett or David Simon. Much respect.
@@Liwet. nice-different joke, but similar premise for sure. I like that Conan directly implied in this one without saying it directly that if he said the inappropriate thing he was thinking, he would get sued. Clever take on “I shouldn’t say this, but I will anyway.” Hers was more generally about how people in show us are always getting into legal trouble. I still like Conan’s version more, but you are right, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had seen that first and it was living somewhere in the back of his brain this whole time
@@Liwet. That's not even close to being the same joke. Roughly the same topic of the joke, perhaps, but that's all. (And not to mention that hers seemed pre-written and rehearsed)
In all seriousness, I think Sona being from an immigrant family is a big factor too. She's basically the first "American" generation in her family, so year zero was when they moved to the US. I'd imagine her children will be a lot more conversant in 1980s-2010s cultural references than she is with pre-80s references. I'm only three years older than her and I know what Matt and Conan are talking about usually.
That's a good point. Conan even talked about how his Dad would take him to old classic comedy movies. Very different dynamic with first gen immigrant parents.
@@yoshtodd Exactly. When he was talking about that I was thinking about watching Abbott and Costello and the Thin Man movies with my dad. Sona just wouldn't have that experience.
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 I mean it also depends on what your parents liked as kids; my dad is a Latin American immigrant and he grew up watching a lot of dubbed 80s anime like Robotech and Dragonball on TV in Mexico. That’s just the stuff he liked growing up so I grew up watching the first few seasons of Robotech and playing the Dragonball Z games for PS2. However, I had no idea who Abbott and Costello were until I stumbled on “Who’s on first” on TH-cam and I’ve still never watched anything with the Three Stooges. Basically, your pop culture education begins with your parents; before the internet, it would typically end with whatever your parents showed you growing up.
As someone the same age as Conan, I'd like that. We can help to crush the marketing idea that people born after 1960 are "Boomers" just like Boomers born in '46 (hint, we're not - #GenerationJones)
I cannot stress enough how much I love this podcast, how much I love Conan, Sona, Matt and everyone involved! It has been so important to me the last year! It makes me happy, makes me smile makes me forget troubles for the moment! I am so grateful to have this! Thank you!
Conan is actually dead on about younger generations not knowing anything about popular culture history. But the reason for this isn't because of laziness or apathy, it's because of exposure. When we were kids, there was only a small amount of TV channels, and they played reruns of old stuff like Nick at Nite or whatever. Nowadays there is so much content that it would be insane and impossible for a kid to seek everything out.
Yes, precisely. I had a very 90s childhood but at least half the movies I watched were from the 70s and 80s because those were the ones my parents already owned on VHS.
whats the outlook then.. I had three channels growing up so my friends and everyone in america basically saw the same show and had the same experience and could talk about it, and even play it out on the playground the next day at school (cough... rat patrol...cough) - now..with so much content.. and a lot of it as 30 second clips with loud bad music behind them - there is no shared experience anymore
I'd like to point out that Gourley has to make a new "wrap" sign every week and that Conan really should gift him a permanent wrap sign for Christmas or his birthday or something. It's exactly the sort of ice-cold boss gift Conan's evil boss ego would gift.
That ending is perfect, like cut from a scene in Arrested Development. Gourley: And just remember, if you're talking alcatraz, you can watch Escape from Alcatraz or The Rock. It depends on what generation you're in. Conan: Escape from Alcatraz. Sona and Eduardo, in unison: The Rock.
I preyed it that wouldn't sit on the side door about the last day resistance just because the curly science or mingle ting ting had failed on all Serbian cruelty EQ test and for none of the walker pedo is going to pay for that season unwanted or at least try think about how much idiotic to be one of them in year 2000.
Those of us born in Gen X, we had limited channels and endless reruns of all the old shows that were syndicated. That's why all Gen X people know all the Boomer shows, music, and movies. We all watched those shows many, many times. In the 90s and 00s, there was a boom in production and the channel count exploded.
This is incredibly true. I'm a Xennial and still old enough to remember when tv was limited! I get a LOT of old refs and I'm pretty sure people even two years younger didn't experience the same thing growing up.
There used to be this thing called syndication, where TV shows would be endlessly rerunned. I was born in the mid 80s yet one of my favorite TV shows as a young kid was 60s Batman with Adam West. It was still airing every day despite the show ending 20 years earlier.
That's the generational divide. People ages 40 and older had syndication and Nick At Nite to watch older shows. Younger people are used to dozens of cable channels, and now my kids are used to streaming. It's virtually impossible for people nowadays to recapture the feeling people like I had when I was growing up unless they specifically look for older shows.
Conan's "I'm the child of parents who SHOULD have divorced' 😂Back in the day having screaming raging arguments was normal, just part of dinner table family meal discourse.
Such a good Sona jab. 😂😂 I don't think Sona understands that TV used to rerun content for decades. It's not like you could watch whatever you wanted whenever you wanted to. So something old would come on and you'd tune in because you remembered it being good or heard about it from someone else.
Love you Conan! From since I was 14 watching your late night show, till now at 32. Thank you for your decades of dedication, inspiration and entertainment!
I'm 29 and I know wayyyy more Beatles and pink floyd songs then Post malone,drake,Beyonce,Taylor swift and pretty much any modern artist combined. One of my favorite shows of all time is the OG twilight zone
Omg, this so lovely. I'm 30s something, I don't have a friendship like this anymore. All of my close friends are busy in real life and it would be a miracle if we manage to even hang out once a year. Conan, Matt, and Sona friendship is just so lovely. I know they smack to each other (like we all do to close friends), but just from snippets we also hear how Conan became Mikey and Charlie godfather, hang out with Matt and talk about history, outside of the show and podcast. Even if Conan Obrien still Needs A Friend, they do manage to forge a good friendship between the three of them :)
Seriously though, everybody should know "Smokey and the Bandit"...I didn't know it until recently either, but it's really a fun movie that I don't want to miss anymore.
This is my problem with Sona/People Like Her in this argument. They don't even KNOW of these references. I never watched Smokey and The Bandit. But I know the plot, the actors, and I've seen clips of it over the years. But the "Sonas" of the world don't even have a small recognition of things prior to their birth. Thats weird.
Please keep doing the podcast. Its so great to laugh,really laugh, while not needing to have eyes glued to tv. I've never been so happy running errands or doing household chores. Thankyou so much and please keep it up.
I thought the exact same thing. I thought of Conan when I saw the absurdist/surrealist humor in their music videos and their videos about searching for Mop Man. They definitely seem like his style musically, too.
Part of the magic of this trio is self-deprecation one minute, self-glorification the next. And, of course, top-notch improv, subject matter, and voices. Bravo, Team Coco!
Hilarious... and I can see how their tight-knit dynamic continues to develop. They're even more on the same wavelength... interesting to see what this 3-person organism is evolving into.
It's re-runs, people. I'm Gen X and we naturally learned about the previous generations' lives and art because most of the TV that was on wasn't new, it was re-runs of the shows our parents grew up with. Other than daytime soaps and live TV, the only new stuff was the "prime time" couple of hours after the news, until the evening movie (which would only be a recent theatre release on Friday and/or Sunday nights) before the late night shows. We can quote from these things that were aired when we were two, because we watched them over and over, because we were at the mercy of the TV schedulers, and because sitting down to watch MASH, or Cheers, was like comfort food.
wow team coco is really putting an effort with thesw videos,i watched the video in the morning and had to come back to rewatch the part about sona's fav movies surprised to find the time stamp on videos.
I was born in 1966, I didn't go back to learn things, I learned them as I grew. When I was a kid TV was all 50's and 60's shows and movies on TV would often be from the 30's and 40s. You should know the past no matter what age you are or when you were born.
Because early television in the 50's, 60's and even into the 70's was jam packed with old movies and the reruns of the first generation TV shows, Boomers and even GenX had a lot exposure to the culture and zeitgeist of previous generations. We all know who Betty Boop and Buster Keaton are, for only this reason. Also, they showed old B&W movie clips on the wall at Ground Round..... Don't know what Ground Round is? Look it up!
This was GREAT. And being about 6 mo younger than "Cone", I understand completely. I think, in terms of TV stuff, we had 3 or 4 networks and really, PBS was for Sesame St, Electric Co, and Zoom (and I know Conan is like me and sings the Zoom theme song every time someone mentions the Other Zoom). And in that era, the "back catalog" of TV series in syndication was way, way, way (*way*) smaller than it is 50 years later for reasons that should be obvious. As a result, we all saw every episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, Get Smart, Family Affair, Green Acres, et al, 200 times each. 200. That's why we can repeat the lines at will. And why we seem to know so much about stuff from what is actually before our time. #TheKidsToday have hundreds and hundreds of *series* to watch at any time, many in HD, all with production values that are **at least** 100x better than those old shows (though, for their day, they weren't *horrible* - I mean, they had both colors, black **and** white). So, Sona, this is why. Conan's apparent Civil War trivia is specific to him. And don't f*ck with Stanton.
This conversation gives me joy LOL. I'm slightly older than Sona (late '80 so I'm a Xennial) and I'm a weird one in the sense that I get quite a few old references (but I was formed on MST3K and Conan growing up so lmao). I love this kind of intergenerational discussion. Also, I'd LOVE to hear a podcast on Conan and Matt with older pop culture stuff.
If memory serves, Sona is still Generation X because she was born before 1984. With that said, I think Conan and Matt know these references because they are creative types who were passionate enough to make a career out of it. People who love movies and TV tend to do more than the average person to check out classics and remember them. On another note, it's nice to hear he's listening to Wet Leg. They definitely seem like his style.
Sona was born in 1982. The definition of a millennial differs depending on where you get your information from. Pew Research Center defines millennials as the people born from 1981 to 1996. Some sources say the generation began in 1982 or 1983 and goes up until 2000. Reuters state that the "widely accepted definition" is 1981-1996. Then there’s the proposed micro-generation of Xennials, which are defined as being born between 1977 and 1983. These are people who don't feel like a Gen Xer or a Millennial, but a mixture of both. They are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.
Conan is onto something! I’m 29, and anytime I talk to my younger friends about pop culture, the most common response I get is “That happened before I was born, I don’t know what it is.” It’s actually quite disheartening. Lol
I am SOOOOO happy that my all time favorite podcast guru Matt Gorley is now part of one of my favorite podcast trios. Matt is just the absolute MASTER of all trades, and he is handsome and charming to boot! :)
This sounds like the conversations we have at work. My boss and I are in our 60s's and we work with a bunch of kids in their early 20s. He and I will talk about something and they won't have a clue what we are talking about.
It's true. I watched tons of reruns in the 80 from the 50s,60s,70s. There wasn't a lot of content like now. My parents also talked about life as teens, so TV eras had context. It's all different now❤
I blame the internet why people today are not into older shows and culture of the past. When we were kids we programed to sit down in front of a TV at a certain time of day to watch our favorite show whether it was new or reruns.. ( Don't miss the season finally of MASH or it's Christmas don't forget to watch It's a Wonderful Life. at 7pm) By doing this we learned about our past and what the generation before us watched while finding new shows made just for us to be put on later as reruns for the next generation after us. Now with TH-cam and Facebook here we were off our scheduled lives and living in the moment still stuck to a screen but nobody is telling us to watch the episode of Gilligan's island where a young Kurt Russel plays a jungle boy .. Now kids today only watch what they find on random encounters on social media or were sent a link by a friend that happen to stumble on it randomly on social media themselves .. It's a brave new world, and only the important things are going to be remembered
Best movie ever. I used to work at Leslie's pools and spas in the northeast of PA. So, working at a pool store during the winter was easy, yet boring. That's when I found my manager's hidden movie collection. Things she stashed away for her own time at the office. She had AMAZING taste. I popped "smokey and the bandit" in and fell in love. Leslie's pools introduced me to greats like Cabaret, Rock Horror Picture Show, and Smokey.
I'm in my 40s. I think the biggest difference today is how there is sooooo much media consume! I remember as a teenager, we would all gather on Monday or whatever to discuss last night's In Living Color or The Simpsons. 6 or 7 network channels, and a few cable channels. Now, it is so hard. All of our friends have so many recommendations for shows/podcasts/channels to watch, across all sorts of streaming services or TH-cam or whatever, there is a big disconnect. Same with music, same with movies. Anyway, love me some Conan!
They are perfect Conan is my absolute favorite late night host/interviewer/podcaster ever he brings all fun back from the old days… love sona she is awsome, gourley is there
"My favorite comedy is Galaxy Quest" is not a sentence I thought I would ever hear, much less from Sona. Don't get me wrong, I love Galaxy Quest, but favorite comedy ever?

Besides them being great as a band I can see their sense of humor resonating with him.
I thought the exact same thing. I thought of Conan when I saw the absurdist/surrealist humor in their music videos and their videos about searching for Mop Man. They definitely seem like his style musically, too.
They ARE terrific. He's right about that.
I love how they sort of wrapped it up with their choice of Alcatraz movie. Perfect.
“You change the narrative to make yourself look reasonable.”
“I’m a reasonable man.” 😂
Part of the magic of this trio is self-deprecation one minute, self-glorification the next. And, of course, top-notch improv, subject matter, and voices. Bravo, Team Coco!
Hilarious... and I can see how their tight-knit dynamic continues to develop. They're even more on the same wavelength... interesting to see what this 3-person organism is evolving into.
"We're the middle children of history - Tyler Durden."
That seems to describe both Generation X in macro and Matt Gourley in micro.
It's re-runs, people. I'm Gen X and we naturally learned about the previous generations' lives and art because most of the TV that was on wasn't new, it was re-runs of the shows our parents grew up with. Other than daytime soaps and live TV, the only new stuff was the "prime time" couple of hours after the news, until the evening movie (which would only be a recent theatre release on Friday and/or Sunday nights) before the late night shows. We can quote from these things that were aired when we were two, because we watched them over and over, because we were at the mercy of the TV schedulers, and because sitting down to watch MASH, or Cheers, was like comfort food.
The tamagotchi line KILLS ME every time and this is likely the clip I watched the most from the pod thanks to the TH-cam algorithm
towards the end with all of them apologising to each other it's like a throuple therapy session lol
Conan, you literally made millions of friends in your fans at this point. I love you all, Merry Christmas!
Conan's old timey voice is the best
I can never get enough of these three guys rambling.
It’s less of a generational thing and more that Conan and Matt are nerds.
never thought conan would throw out an unprompted wet leg reference, it’s like watching your great great grandfather getting sturdy
I was born in 1985 and I've seen Smokey & the Bandit at least 6 times, first time being in the early 90s. Terrific movie.
Matt trying to speak 2020's language and speaks late 1990's references lmao
He was averaging.
wow team coco is really putting an effort with thesw videos,i watched the video in the morning and had to come back to rewatch the part about sona's fav movies surprised to find the time stamp on videos.
GALAXY QUEST!!! Yeeessss a gem of a movie
I was born in 1966, I didn't go back to learn things, I learned them as I grew. When I was a kid TV was all 50's and 60's shows and movies on TV would often be from the 30's and 40s. You should know the past no matter what age you are or when you were born.
Because early television in the 50's, 60's and even into the 70's was jam packed with old movies and the reruns of the first generation TV shows, Boomers and even GenX had a lot exposure to the culture and zeitgeist of previous generations.
We all know who Betty Boop and Buster Keaton are, for only this reason.
Also, they showed old B&W movie clips on the wall at Ground Round.....
Don't know what Ground Round is? Look it up!
This was GREAT. And being about 6 mo younger than "Cone", I understand completely. I think, in terms of TV stuff, we had 3 or 4 networks and really, PBS was for Sesame St, Electric Co, and Zoom (and I know Conan is like me and sings the Zoom theme song every time someone mentions the Other Zoom). And in that era, the "back catalog" of TV series in syndication was way, way, way (*way*) smaller than it is 50 years later for reasons that should be obvious. As a result, we all saw every episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, Get Smart, Family Affair, Green Acres, et al, 200 times each. 200. That's why we can repeat the lines at will. And why we seem to know so much about stuff from what is actually before our time. #TheKidsToday have hundreds and hundreds of *series* to watch at any time, many in HD, all with production values that are **at least** 100x better than those old shows (though, for their day, they weren't *horrible* - I mean, they had both colors, black **and** white).
So, Sona, this is why. Conan's apparent Civil War trivia is specific to him. And don't f*ck with Stanton.
🥱
this is a therapy session. i love it.
"Would someone quiet this woman!! She's hysterical!!" - LMAO, I love when he does the old-timey😂
THANK YOU!!!! Lol also shout to to gourley for mentioning sailor moon hahahaha that’s personal to me hahaha
Hilarious & the Lincoln tie-in was just masterful
Conan always dropping gems left and right.
This conversation gives me joy LOL. I'm slightly older than Sona (late '80 so I'm a Xennial) and I'm a weird one in the sense that I get quite a few old references (but I was formed on MST3K and Conan growing up so lmao). I love this kind of intergenerational discussion. Also, I'd LOVE to hear a podcast on Conan and Matt with older pop culture stuff.
If memory serves, Sona is still Generation X because she was born before 1984.
With that said, I think Conan and Matt know these references because they are creative types who were passionate enough to make a career out of it. People who love movies and TV tend to do more than the average person to check out classics and remember them.
On another note, it's nice to hear he's listening to Wet Leg. They definitely seem like his style.
Sona was born in 1982. The definition of a millennial differs depending on where you get your information from. Pew Research Center defines millennials as the people born from 1981 to 1996. Some sources say the generation began in 1982 or 1983 and goes up until 2000. Reuters state that the "widely accepted definition" is 1981-1996.
Then there’s the proposed micro-generation of Xennials, which are defined as being born between 1977 and 1983. These are people who don't feel like a Gen Xer or a Millennial, but a mixture of both. They are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.
I love it when Conan and Matt nerd out about stuff, regardless of the generation
Conan is onto something! I’m 29, and anytime I talk to my younger friends about pop culture, the most common response I get is “That happened before I was born, I don’t know what it is.” It’s actually quite disheartening. Lol
They should do trivia game episodes with questions from all their generations
I love this opening so much for some reason.
Soma has the best ever assistant jobs on earth.
Jus laugh, curse and get paid. What a job 😂😀
I would definitely enjoy more shows with just the 3 of them.
I am SOOOOO happy that my all time favorite podcast guru Matt Gorley is now part of one of my favorite podcast trios. Matt is just the absolute MASTER of all trades, and he is handsome and charming to boot! :)
This sounds like the conversations we have at work. My boss and I are in our 60s's and we work with a bunch of kids in their early 20s. He and I will talk about something and they won't have a clue what we are talking about.
This is common AF! We used to call it the 'Generation Gap'.
No one has the right to criticize Matt Gourley. He still has all the Legos from his childhood.
"Explain to the folks at home what Smokey & The Bandit is"
Norm !!!
It's true. I watched tons of reruns in the 80 from the 50s,60s,70s. There wasn't a lot of content like now. My parents also talked about life as teens, so TV eras had context. It's all different now❤
Conan would have an audience on Alcatraz, the sea Lions 😂
I blame the internet why people today are not into older shows and culture of the past. When we were kids we programed to sit down in front of a TV at a certain time of day to watch our favorite show whether it was new or reruns..
( Don't miss the season finally of MASH or it's Christmas don't forget to watch It's a Wonderful Life. at 7pm)
By doing this we learned about our past and what the generation before us watched while finding new shows made just for us to be put on later as reruns for the next generation after us.
Now with TH-cam and Facebook here we were off our scheduled lives and living in the moment still stuck to a screen but nobody is telling us to watch the episode of Gilligan's island where a young Kurt Russel plays a jungle boy ..
Now kids today only watch what they find on random encounters on social media or were sent a link by a friend that happen to stumble on it randomly on social media themselves .. It's a brave new world, and only the important things are going to be remembered
I'm the same age as Sona but I agree with Conan and Matt whole heartedly about things before your time.
Conan referencing things from the 60's (born in 1963) is the same as Sona referencing things from the 80's (born in 1982).
Best movie ever.
I used to work at Leslie's pools and spas in the northeast of PA.
So, working at a pool store during the winter was easy, yet boring.
That's when I found my manager's hidden movie collection. Things she stashed away for her own time at the office. She had AMAZING taste.
I popped "smokey and the bandit" in and fell in love.
Leslie's pools introduced me to greats like Cabaret, Rock Horror Picture Show, and Smokey.
I like how Conan is finally hiding his Eye Vein using those Hipster Glasses
I'm in my 40s. I think the biggest difference today is how there is sooooo much media consume! I remember as a teenager, we would all gather on Monday or whatever to discuss last night's In Living Color or The Simpsons. 6 or 7 network channels, and a few cable channels. Now, it is so hard. All of our friends have so many recommendations for shows/podcasts/channels to watch, across all sorts of streaming services or TH-cam or whatever, there is a big disconnect. Same with music, same with movies. Anyway, love me some Conan!
They are perfect Conan is my absolute favorite late night host/interviewer/podcaster ever he brings all fun back from the old days… love sona she is awsome, gourley is there
"My favorite comedy is Galaxy Quest" is not a sentence I thought I would ever hear, much less from Sona. Don't get me wrong, I love Galaxy Quest, but favorite comedy ever?
Elder millennial here. Conan introduced me to a lot cool music a few years ago in ‘96.
Sona does a great Conan impression 😂
I’ve never been so attached to a podcast in my life
