When Sona isn't on screen, every other character should be asking "Where's Sona?"
Nah, she's only good for laughing, there's no other value from her.
"every other character"
You know that they are real people, right? 😬
It's a Simpsons reference (which Conan worked on, I don't know if he's ever mentioned). "Whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, 'Where's Poochie?'"@@CB-pf5lb

Such a great podcast. I wish it was longer then 39min (full version)
what a great episode! 🥖🌹 to international women's day!
Great episode! Thank you for having her on 😁
I didn't think this podcast would or could ever get this serious. What a great conversation to have. 👏🏽
It's ON when Conan is wearing a tie.
Thank you for this episode. Amazing episode.
When can we get a Christopher Walken episode?
I love this episode soooo much!!!
Very very glad for women like Melinda. When I was young i was good at sports but girls were not allowed to play and couldnt get scholarships.I couldnt afford college, my parents had arranged a marriage for me. I enlisted in the military and got my degree and married who I chose. I'm glad there are more opportunities for girls today.
That is an amazing story of your life! Truly inspiring!
Love the conversation on women and education! Usually come for the laughs and good fun, but love the depth and differing perspective that a conversation like this brings to the table.
Where is Sona???
She finally transformed into a pillow.
So much respect for this lady, I followed her example when she said “fake it until you make it.” Saying is so true and I follow many more of her advice. We need a lady like her in our world today. She’s not afraid to take action when needed.
Take action. The only big action she made was marrying the richest guy in the world. It's easy to take action when u have endless money that u didn't earn
She’s taken other big actions. So what you’re implying isn’t entirely accurate. She started her own Ventures that focused on women children and families in the US. Just because she’s chosen to not be a central figure making changes like her ex husband doesn’t mean she isn’t less important in making a change 🤷🏻♀️. It takes a village, or so I’ve heard.
"If we had more women in power, more women representatives, more women governors, we wouldn't be making poor decisions like the one in Alabama"...
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivy 😂
Supreme justice Amy Coney Barret..
There are black and female governors in many states where the state houses are almost completely filled with white republican men. Governorship is one of the few places they havnt successfully gerrymandered the politics. And governors of states with a supermajority in their state house are almost completely powerless anyway. The real war for America's soul happens in those state legislatures, and those are the least-publicized campaigns.
That statement itself is so sexist
Yep both women and men make bad decisions. We need to focus more on things like mental health and less on gender and identity politics.
The female mayor of Chicago turned the city in the Maldives, it seems...
This is great 👍 👌 👏
Conan do you still have your Haiti is great shirt? I'd love to buy it
What an inspirational woman.
she's basically saying that if we had more women in politics nothing bad would ever happen. Yeah right.
The female mayor of Chicago turned the city in the Maldives, it seems...
And this obsession with reducing the population size, what the crap
Can This Ever Be Demonstrable ?
I love the amount of butt profiles that comment on every Conan video.
Don't forget the front butt ones too.
Oh wow! Conan interviewing a principality of darkness! 2024 is the year to pay!
4:09 he knows why public education funding is where it is. The top 0.01%+ does not want another French revolution happening. So they want the two sides to talk about extreme things and to have both sides point fingers at each other instead of pointing up where they take more and more of the profits generated. In order to dumb folks down, they intentionally reduce public education funding. That's why we have massive publicity campaign of the US being number one as well as the American dream. Is so that we can import our brain power to counteract the deterioration in education standards
The point about needing more women is true but honestly as a guy. The decisions being made by places like Alabama are decisions no human would make and are just extremely stupid. Hearing the reasoning is like listening to early version of chatgpt thats reading reddit.
You’d be surprised to know there are men you think are learned or even ones that rose to power that do not know anything about a woman’s body. After the IVF decision was released senator (can’t remember his name but from Alabama and was a football coach) was asked about his opinion on the ruling, he agreed with the ruling and said we need to have more kids or something like that, when the reporter then asks but IVF is intended to help people have more kids and now it’s stopped in the state of Alabama, he repeated we need to have more kids. Almost a brain glitch.
A lot of men thought abortions were had only by people with sexual proclivities but did not know the nuances. Women are not even encouraged to speak up because cultures make such things hush hush.
Men should not be the ones to make laws pertaining to women’s bodies.
what happened?
I would love to have Bill Burr as a surprise guest
???
I would love to have bill burr as a surprise guest in your dad's ass 😉
I would love to have Bill Burr as a surprise guest to your dad's ass
Or…and hear me out… we all start seeing ourselves as human first instead of dividing into biological or cultural subsets
I get that she’s donated billions but what really qualifies her to be talking about education like this? Wouldn’t it be better to have the actual professionals on to talk about these things?
She didn't donate it. It was the foundation and the only reason she is even known is coz bill gates married her. She made 2 billion with her divorce.
11:08 "You can't really be what you can't see." Prepare for hate mail from the blind.
Blind people understand metaphor. It's sad that you don't. Is that a failure of education or intellect on your part?
She meant dream of the future a vision
😂
❤
Not knowing who Melinda French Gates is shows the dumbing down of America. Melinda is privileged yes, but instead of sitting in the background she took her privilege and applied it to so many worthy causes. Thank you Conan for having Melinda on your podcast and for showing your depth as not only a comedian but also a thoughtful interviewer.
I think that the black community started with the "privilege" thing. Privilege comes with hard work and smarts. It's not given (except to spoiled brats). My parents were kind of poor (like most people in our region at that time), but worked their way up. So did I. So if someone would called me "privileged", it would only be due to their ignorance.
@@lemmingdothaha "the black community"
You are not racist at all.
@@davidhurtado2725 Sorry, I'm from the EU. No idea how to call them politically correctly.
Or it shows that not everyone is American, as crazy as it might seem to you, yank
@@lemmingdot don't worry, bubba. It wasn't the "black community" part you got wrong 😂
Keeping women out of education is shooting yourself in the foot as a society. The amount of sheer human talent wasted because of sexism boggles my mind big time.
And out come the trolls…..
Especially the Russian bots. I work in IT security and everyone outside of this fields has no idea how big of a problem this has become. Not only in the USA, but in EU as well.
The Russians...🙄
There has been a recent trend of men hating on women, just flat out sexist and misogynistic rhetoric all over the place. Some are bots and trolls sure, but people need to realize that young boys and men are being targeted and radicalized to hate women.
@@lemmingdotoh yes, the Russian bots are both hilarious and tragic.
Conan NEEDS a second pool.

I'm surprised to see her here

People hating on this episode is something so bizarre. I thought she was very interesting and seems like. Grounded person
Not everyone is a soft yank
Hey Conan. Not that you or your staff are closely reading any of these comments, but from one Bostonian to another, it would have been great to celebrate International Women’sDay with an interview with Sonya. Nothing against Ms. French Gates, but Sonya’s humbling story would have been great to listen. Sonya is such an integral part of your podcast and one of the reasons why I listen to your podcast. Thank you.
Her name is Sona.
Maybe they mean someone else@@jaym3566
Where's Bill Burr when u need him??? Darn it!
Thought that was Ozzie Osbourne
Eat the Rich
Agree but atleast they are into giving money away
The more educated women are, the lower is the birth rate in the country. I've seen it, women are now more career-oriented than family-oriented, so the national birth rate has lowered year by year to the extend that is a huge problem now and more in the future. Less-educated women have more kids and it also shows in results when kids come from "lesser" backgrounds. It is a weird problem to have but that is how it has gone...
How can women fully step in their power.....or anybody else for that matter when inequality is blatantly rampant?
Hahaha
..... what?
When you say inequality, are you referencing the male the went out and created something from nothing that refuses to just hand over control to a woman for absolutely no reason or are you talking about the feminist movement that fails to go out and create for themselves which they can then control like they so badly say they want to do? My wife did not face any obstacles pursuing her education. She was allowed to attend school just like every other woman. My wife did not enconter any obstacles when she decided to pursue her own business venture. The quality of her work was the only thing that was judged. So please...please clarify for my the inequality you are speaking of? I am not a fan of Melinda at all but I believe her message is to empower woment to go out and create for themselves, not just simply demand things be given for the sake of gender.
For the start, search for how many more hours of unpaid work women have undertaken compared to men, 21 hours more a week even in first-world country.
Then, should we go down to the dark place of 80m female babies being killed in countries like China because of gender selection? Not aborted, brutally killed after they were born.
Lastly, to American sisters, when men tell you that everything is already equal, and you should just give up fighting for more, do you really believe that, and call it a day? Where is your abortion right? Where is your female president? Think for yourself, believe your gut feelings. Don't let the rest of us down, sisters.
I don’t watch any video when Sona isn’t present
Lol. The commenters upset, shocked and appauled that Conan... who went to Harvard and lives in Beverely Hills is a yankee elite! Really guys. No one is buying your shock. If you don't like it, just leave. Nobody is holding you here. I'm sure there are some Dennis Miller clips you can go view that won't hurt your delicate sensibilities.
Isn't there enough celebration and glorification of the billionaire class elsewhere? They talk BS about education while constantly working to preserve their economic advantages and prevent others from challenging the status quo. All that supposed philanthropy is nothing but a PR campaign to maintain their positive image in society. I get that Conan is an elitist and a multimillionaire, but he seems good-natured and capable of empathy. Why not have some progressive guests for a change?
Word
So strange, in a time when boys are falling massively behind in education because they are not suited to school environment and our gyno centric media culture demands that we focus on education for women. We need to change the record here, that battle has been won. Let’s look after the boys too now
Can she adopt me? 🙃
You’d be incredibly disappointed at the sinister corruption in that family, no matter the outward perfect appearance of humanitarianism.
Do it 😂
@@katep9825 take a chill pill. 😂
That’s usually what I do watching Conan. lol. I was like WTH is Melinda gates doing on here!?
Boy oh boy do I not want to hear what billionaires and multi millionaires think should be done to improve the world.
What on earth do you mean? Her and her ex-husband are busy trying to “make the world better” for all us normal people they “totally love and respect” 😅😅😅
The elites know what's best for us. Didn't you get the memo?
You're not making any contributions in that regard, so how are you any different?
What are you doing to improve it?
Their foundation donated $5.9 billion to charities in 2022 (the most recent year return available).
Look out Liza Conan is talking to the riches woman in the world
isn't amazon guy's ex the richest?
Oh boy, the dislikes for this video. This is why we can't have nice things
Private School Kids are off vacation. More women in Public Schools
Who is this person and why does she matter?
She’s not very funny
3:00 did she forget there ARE women politicians making those types of decisions? Marjorie Taylor Greene comes to mind. They'll just look for female versions of these conduits of the top 0.01% so they could have a job in politics
MTG is just a lap puppy.
Aww helll nooooo conan
After THIS MOMENT, ...giving this human feces a platform, ....I will NEVER watch ANYTHING from Conan Obrien EVER AGAIN! Consider me an EX lifelong fan! UNSUBSCRIBED!
I am sorry... But what in the hell is Melinda Gates doing on here talking about education of all things? Her little experiment with Bill in the early 2000's caused a sweeping dysfunction of public education across the entire country that we still havent recovered from.
Commie conzi
If you actually had points against plans she had for tackling these issues, that's great. But it's just stupid to say she should not talk about education. As if the problems have magically gone away
@@piusdoe8984Melinda shouldn't be talking about education
sorry how are you criticising her talking about education when it's evident you haven't passed your own primary education
@@emu_warrior That's such a mean comment. You be nice!! Say you're sorry
Kids educate themselves these days.
edX, Courserea, khanAcademy, whole university lecture series on TH-cam...
Kids are better off exploring by themselves instead of being misled and belittled in schools where they are being forced to be together with people they don't like and thus only waste time being together with them...which subsequently damages their mental health.
I was hoping Conan would ask her if she's been to Epstein island or event 201. It's amazing how many people don't know the things both her and her husband have done to this earth. Saddens me that Conan would have such a guest.
Going to be a lot of angry MAGAs in here, lol. I love their salty tears.
Ronald Reagan fans?
Bill Clinton fans?
I don't get it.
@@TheAgentAssassinI'm sorry you are intellectually unable to "get it". RIP
You are exactly like the MAGAs but even more fascist
You mean because she's acting like a sexist?
@@ddawg3974ok MAGA lol
So I appreciate the reasoning to empower women but logically thinking about this from my own perspective I don't see education as the great equalizer. Women have an innate value that allows for them be less educated less evolved and still be of high status, especially if they are good looking. A man has to be much more educated and go through much more character development to be a high status man. If the argument is that women have less role models to choose from in the space of high status politics and business then it is a function of being already higher status than a man and so there will always be men that HAVE to strive for more in order to survive the game.
I think the problem is women are not seen in society as having innate value outside of the home so they are not respected enough to be given the choice to make their own decisions…that’s where education comes in. The social structure of society needs to change still where women along with men. That would take some doing but it all starts at home from a young age…
Who's this lady?
This lady is so far removed from actual society
I appreciate anyone willing to donate money, but let’s be honest it’s really Bill’s money that she’s forcibly donating lol
This interview was so hard to get through. Like how do I feel having one of the luckiest, most privileged people humanity has ever seen in history talk to me about inequities… not saying her life is never bad but come on… what hardship is she facing? She’s as rich as a Saudi Prince! Take a backseat and fund a woman that’s been in the trenches and let her speak.
Beyond party lines, she is awful. And those who act like they love her are dishonest people
Conan should have ask her if she was aware of her ex husband visit to Epstein Island...l
He's already married.
@@Studeb she was married to Bill during the Epstein island visits,so she has things to answer too..was she aware? did she enable him?etc..
What timestamp do they ask her about her ex-husband’s trips to Epstein’s island?
That’s a question for her ex husband to answer. He is the predator
Women power , divorce a rich guy , become independent
Let’s say this.This gal is more rich than funny. Let’s leave it at that.
You ever watch survivor and they split the tribes up into men vs women? The men are highfiving around the fire admiring their badass shelter they just made. And the women are incapable of working together and cant make fire or a shelter having to sleep in the rain after giving up within hours 😂
Hi there intelligent person. You should take into context that "women" are different depending on the culture they grew up in. For example would you observe the same behaviour in indigenous cultures who have been untouched by the modern world? What about women from other countries? What about women who grew up rural and know how to do hands on labour? What you are talking about is American women. Modern American women. Modern American women who have the desire to appear on a reality T.V show.
Maybe you shouldn't base your world view on survivor. That is all...goodnight.
@@DarkMoonWayfarer Well I doubt they are gonna hire a bunch of indigenous women with great values for the US Senate. So we're stuck with the ones we have. Give them the job if they deserve it no matter the sex. But don't plug people into jobs based on skin color or sex.
@@zzzzzz3708 I think you missed my point that female contestants on a "reality" show are not a good example of the real world. Although, perhaps for some female Republican party members it's pretty accurate.
Genesis 3:16
8:45 No girl should be married before age 18 ? But it’s okay for her to have sex with a boyfriend.
If she said : no girl should get pregnant or become a mom at that age , then that would be more reasonable
I think she is referring to controlling marriages and unethical forced marriages. Whereas having sex and having a baby is different, unless of course, it's also used for control.
Sex after 16 just becomes a norm due to teenage hormones, you cant stop it, just provide safety and good sex education resources.
Having a baby before 18 is terrible and shouldn't happen, but it sadly does. It's usually never on purpose
Hahaha shes certifiably insane
wtf is a French Gate? Some specific Gate Design that they use in France? I'm not Googling it!
Disgusting
I dunno about this lady
Or her ex
Or anything at all, really.
@@lynwood77 but mostly those two
i thought this was a comedy podcast
You were wrong. It's an interview podcast.
@@lynwood77 hosted by a comedian
@@wyatt_wesley_2019that doesn't make it a comedy podcast lol
Melinda Gates could give away 10 billion dollars and still never have less than a billion dollars in her lifetime. Her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, for generations on also will never have less than that with or without her because of her ex-husband. This was a stupid podcast. If anyone is interested in a billionaire who actually gave away all their wealth check out Chuck Feeney.
I don’t think anyone knows how much Melinda French Gates really has after her divorce. She has stocks worth 10billion and as far as I know, after she received those she sold just enough so any moves she made with any other money she would not have to report because her total sum was under the required amount to report… anyway my point is, since she had done that, for all we know she could be giving away money and we don’t know about it because she doesn’t have to report it… I mean Chuck Feeney, gave away a total of 8.1 billion of his money and only kept enough to live off of. For every 100,000 he gave away he kept $20 or 30 of that. It definitely is ideal to do. I think people should give her a chance and see what she does, hopefully people can speak up more about her and whatever good deeds she may have done. 🤷🏻♀️
She is wrong and a liar
Conan is smart enough to stay out of politics most of the time. But it would be good for him to remember that he is one of the coastal elites in a left-wing bubble and these types of problems are a lot more complicated.
just bcz he doesn't talk abt his politics on air doesn't mean he's not interested. and what issues in this video offended you so much?
Yet here you are somehow not staying out of politics. Are you a hypocrite or simply stupid?
Genuinely I implore you to look at the man’s federal donations to super packs and campaign funds because he’s a prominent liberal in his whole family is
Helping starving children is politics? Lol. Yall really reaching.
@@aviralgupta393Coz the solution to every problem for her is to bring more girls in power. Not equal opportunity or merit or anything like that. It's incredibly sexist.
Sick of Conans terrible politics. These people are rotten, right or left.
Then leave. Problem solved!
I’m of the opinion that no episode of this podcast should be edifying. The whiplash is killing me. Stick to fart jokes please.
heell naww
Yep.
PUKE
I understand why Bill got rid of her. 😒🤷🏽♂️
Or why she got rid of Bill, it works both ways
@@silentbliss7666the only reason she is anything is because bill decided to marry her. She made 2 billion from the divorce.
Frightening! Is this lady the devil? Children are a blessing and God desires for us to be fruitful. Getting married during or after college is a blessing. Why not focus on educating both men and women better between the ages of 7-18, so that at 18 you can start practicing your vocation whether doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc… Encourage marriage and children while young and develop jobs and programs that support family.
Not everyone values what you value, chucklehead, let alone believe in what you believe in. Maybe be a little less small-minded and ignorant.
I would not trust an 18 year old doctor no matter their education. That’s insane.
@@MelancholicRobot42 You shouldn’t trust doctors at any age 😂 but each age has its pros and cons.
Bleh. I love Conan as a personality but his political views suck ass.
Sounds like someone's ex wife. Newfound empathy for Bill
Ugh,she is just awfull
One rich, liberal, hypocrite, being interviewed by another rich, liberal, hypocrite.
Yes, because talking about education, woman’s rights in developing nations, etc is so hypocritical. This woman has donated literally billions and billons of dollars for truly positive endeavors. I can sort of understand being mad at rich selfish people, but you got the wrong people with Conan and Melinda Gates.
@@alexyoungbased I think you need to research how the Gates' money worked and its horrendous influence on education before putting a label such as 'right or wrong' on humans you don't know.
@@alexyoungbasedI like Conan but this lady b mad annoying
@@alexyoungbasedI think it's just Tim Olyphant that's pissed that Conan finally kicked him out of the beach house.
liberals are awesome, true! :)
I liked Conan a lot, but this is disgusting. Promoting women to focus on money than having children. This episode is everything that is wrong with America. No one opposes education to women, but saying delay having kids and marriages is just utterly disgusting. They really think and brain wash women by telling them they are not smart enough to handle kids and carrier.
People SHOULD delay these things until they’re financially stable.
@@MelancholicRobot42that's just what corporates want. Have everyone working so they make billions while we do r have lives.
NO ONE OPPOSE EDUCATION TO WOMEN? are you leader of some cult? why men can focus on money but women can't? because of marriage and pregnant? you cannot force women to do those things. they can work, they can make money, they can refuse to get marry and have a child. why? because women are same human as men, have a free will. do you think its only for america? no! it's world trend except undeveloped countries where women are unable to be educated. plus they don't want to get married because people like you. angry for no reason, blame women for everything. you ruin yourself
