Playing with intention is incredibly important for a musician, he was being sincere, he also read that it was a good bit and let it be. There’s nothing worse to me than a technically virtuoso musician that plays without intent (you could switch intent for soul depending on genre)
How do you get that impression? I get the vibe that he loves himself a little too much lol. He thinks the SNL people didn’t like him because he’s the “tall musician” bruh what
"I always felt sad for beautiful women because they don't get to be with me" is one of Conan's all-time best lines. It encapsulates both sides of his outrageous arrogance and self-deprecation in a single sentence.
Finally! Such a fun episode, just wish it was longer. John’s always been one of my favorite musicians and he’s so funny in his own right that this episode makes perfect sense. He really meshes well with Conan.
I LOVE the show, but I HATED this episode. He and John spent like 30 minutes talking about John's weird SNL story. I didn't chuckle for the first 30 minutes
What a great episode. Love them both. John is a great conversationalist. I understand John when he said he stopped caring or worrying about what others thought when he got older. When I turned 40 I didn’t care about things I used to worry about as well. I wish I had this comfort in my 20s and 30s
Taylor and John dated and weren’t good for each other. It happens, and hopefully your niece can learn that people can still be good people but wrong together.
What a great guest he was, I didn't know John was so funny or such a deep and interesting thinker. They way John and Conan bounced off each other was fantastic and improvising a song about getting run over by a train was hilarious.
Yes, John is great conversationalist. Can talk about anything. I loved him on when he was on Hot Ones. That’s worth checking out if you enjoyed him on this podcast
Mayer has been one of the best guests to grace the show. Articulate, thoughtful and a wonderful conversationalist. He's much more "down to earth" than you'd expect from such a well-known person.
He seems so much friendlier and cooler than i thought he was. I don't know why but i don't think I've ever seen an interview with John Maywr prior to this.
I think sometimes he seemed like a bit of a jerk before in his younger days, but I think getting older has mellowed him out a bit and he does seem friendlier.
He's a funny guy. I used to watch him on random VH1 shows about 80s/90s pop culture and he was hilarious. It was like 10 comedians and him. He was always the funniest one.
This appearance feels way too long overdue! I've been seeing John Mayer liking Team Coco's posts on Insta for so long for him not to be on the podcast. And the last time he's on Conan's show seems to be way back in the NBC days.
Watched John Mayer open for Glen Phillips (he said you would be great) in Winooski VT and this is such a glorious interview that exposes the beauty of you. 🙏
John Mayer is a guitar god. Clearly one of the greatest ever. Only a few people technically are better, like Gutherie Govan, but I don’t think anyone has it all like John does. Melody, feel, technically perfect.
@@HenritheHorse - Not even close? LMAO. He's one of the best in the world, by far. Clapton calls him a master and invites him to his Crossroads benefits. ruclips.net/video/tzfrXiD1_Rg/видео.html
@luke5100 You're not missing anything, dude. Music is 100% subjective and ranking artists like they're athletes is a pointless endeavor. Arguing over which one is the "best" or who is "better" than the other is equally pointless. John Mayer is an extremely skilled guitarist, solid singer, and great songwriter. ...but trying to rank him somewhere on some subjective top ten "GOAT" list is just stupid. ..and yeah, as far as blues goes, I agree with you. I grew up in Memphis in a family of blues guitarists and I've always found his blues playing to be pretty derivative. It's very well executed technically, but that only goes so far. Music should have originality. My little brother could play Stevie Ray Vaughan licks flawlessly at 13 years old. ...which is impressive, but he still just sounded like Stevie. ...which is why he kept pushing himself to become his own person with his own style. John absolutely has his own style in general, but when he plays blues in particular, a lot of that goes away. He's just channeling other players. He's got a great song called "Who Did You Think I Was". ..but if I'm honest, I mostly like it because it sounds like SRV and Jimi. Lol
This is one of those episodes where I thought: okay, I'll play it while walking the dog. But Mayer's fun presence and that pointed, important question that got a great pointed, important answer out of Conan, regarding SNL's sketch thunderdome--so so good! New fan, JM!
Does anyone else think that there's something in John's mannerisms that makes him bear a striking resemblance to Flula? And then every time he does his kind of animated way of moving, I expect him to be telling a Flula-like joke... but he's just being completely sincere... and it's like an uncanny valley thing.
We really need these videos in full somewhere. I don't even care where, but I'm utterly and completely uninterested in audio only, and I'm well aware that I'm not the only one.
I had a love-hate relationship with John Mayer. I always thought that he was a good musician but kind of a douche as a person but this episode somewhat changed my perception. He was pretty witty and actually very down to earth. I don’t know him personally of course but this episode made him more human and approachable as he showed his vulnerable side (when he talked about how he felt less with some SNL people, and how he longed to be attractive to some of the women in Hollywood). Deep inside each of us (at least those without psychopathy or sociopathy) has the same insecurity and longing to be accepted and admired.
Hello Team Coco, you seriously need to give us the clip on ‘The Ballad of Limpy’. I know it’s not nice but could you somehow add stuff front and back and upload it please?? It was the funniest moment, almost all, of John Mayer’s pursuit of comedy. Thanks.
Johnny Guitar has got me through some challenging times with all his instagram lives and insane musical performances. I feel grateful to be in his era and to seesome of his live shows and engage in his content! Def going down in guitar hof
David Chapelle went to your shows many many times, you were the first show he attended when he came back from hiatus, yet you haven't invited him to this show yet.
“You play with great intention” is the PERFECT musical burn!! 🤣🤣
nicest, kindest, most PC musical burn
Right I have to remember this 😂 applicable to other fields as well 👍🤣
He def meant to be sincere tho hahah
Playing with intention is incredibly important for a musician, he was being sincere, he also read that it was a good bit and let it be. There’s nothing worse to me than a technically virtuoso musician that plays without intent (you could switch intent for soul depending on genre)
“You play with great alacrity”
I don't think I've ever listened to John Mayer speak for this long, he seems like a really down to earth and intelligent dude!
How do you get that impression? I get the vibe that he loves himself a little too much lol. He thinks the SNL people didn’t like him because he’s the “tall musician” bruh what
I think he’s putting on a show
@jooohanWell said👍
"I always felt sad for beautiful women because they don't get to be with me" is one of Conan's all-time best lines. It encapsulates both sides of his outrageous arrogance and self-deprecation in a single sentence.
But it also feels like a jab at his wife? Oof. 😬
Outrageous faux arrogance*
@@woopygomanare you new to comedy in general, or just Conan?
I am definitely stealing that one
@woopygoman
No. He said "Because i'm taken" right after.
Whatever you think of him personally you can't deny what a great musician this guy is.
And Mayer’s not bad either!
stop holding on to past comments and mistakes. people change.
He is amazing
“Spam skinned skeleton” is a vibe! 😂😂😂That one took me out!
Same, what in the hell was that? I lost it a little bit.
He feels like a genuine fan of Conan...
"I'm John Mayer, and I'm ready to be a star"
The "New Light" video is hilarious!
😂😂
This was long overdue! Loved listening to the whole thing on Spotify. Please post more clips here too!
I’m not even Salieri looking at Mozart…I’m a chamber pot looking at Salieri looking at Mozart. Lmao
Finally! Such a fun episode, just wish it was longer. John’s always been one of my favorite musicians and he’s so funny in his own right that this episode makes perfect sense. He really meshes well with Conan.
I LOVE the show, but I HATED this episode. He and John spent like 30 minutes talking about John's weird SNL story. I didn't chuckle for the first 30 minutes
I am so livid that there's only one clip of this up! Lol !
Post the whole podcast asap!
There’s 4 clips my guy
I really hope John comes back many times. This whole podcast was engaging and fun from start to finish.
What a great episode. Love them both. John is a great conversationalist. I understand John when he said he stopped caring or worrying about what others thought when he got older. When I turned 40 I didn’t care about things I used to worry about as well. I wish I had this comfort in my 20s and 30s
We’ve been WAITING for this collab!
Since I was a child, John Mayer looks the same, barely changed. He is aging really good
His cover of California Dreamin’ in the Tonight Show era is still one of the best performances if not the best I’ve seen on Conan🤌🔥
Absolutely. Conan is so pumped after the song ends, too.
I REALLY didn't see it coming, but this is for sure in the top five funniest episodes ever.
That Mayer was this whitty, deep and analytical. Amazing chemistry and riffs. Loved this episode!
Already one of my fav episodes.
My 23yo Swiftie niece absolutely REFUSES to hear how great Mayer is. I dont know if that's common, but I admire both Taylor and John.
Tell her to chill out 😂
Funny, I like them both too. They also have mutual friends. It’s not that crazy! 😉
Taylor and John dated and weren’t good for each other. It happens, and hopefully your niece can learn that people can still be good people but wrong together.
Tell her that Travis Kelce wore a John Mayer t-shirt on his own podcast.
When the John Mayer Trio performed "California Dreamin'" on Conan's show, it was INCREDIBLE! Find it if you haven't seen it.
I saved this episode and will play it whenever I need a laugh good to make it through the day. You guys are the best!
What a great guest he was, I didn't know John was so funny or such a deep and interesting thinker. They way John and Conan bounced off each other was fantastic and improvising a song about getting run over by a train was hilarious.
Yes, John is great conversationalist. Can talk about anything. I loved him on when he was on Hot Ones. That’s worth checking out if you enjoyed him on this podcast
Back during COVID he did a weekly Instagram live show where he just talked about whatever and it was so much fun to watch.
I have been waiting for these two heroes of mine to collide for so long
0:00 I thought he was gonna say “my name is John Mayer, and I’m ready to be a star!”😂😂
Oh man I've been looking forward to this!
You can tell John still struggles with narcissism but is trying hard to keep it in check. Good on him for it.
Mayer has been one of the best guests to grace the show. Articulate, thoughtful and a wonderful conversationalist.
He's much more "down to earth" than you'd expect from such a well-known person.
This was surprisingly sweet
Wow, didn't see this one coming!
He seems so much friendlier and cooler than i thought he was. I don't know why but i don't think I've ever seen an interview with John Maywr prior to this.
He was great on Hot Ones as well. Very good interview.
I think sometimes he seemed like a bit of a jerk before in his younger days, but I think getting older has mellowed him out a bit and he does seem friendlier.
One bad Playboy interview created this perception
Him and Alexa chung is pretty good.
He's a funny guy. I used to watch him on random VH1 shows about 80s/90s pop culture and he was hilarious. It was like 10 comedians and him. He was always the funniest one.
Just finished this episode and I never knew John was this down to earth and funny. This was so great. Top 5 at least!
Omg finally John Mayer is on here
absolutely loved this episode!!!
John Mayer was the first musical artist I was ever obsessed with!
Man, can’t wait for this, Conan and Mayer.
Honestly the only ad reads that I don't want to skip.
I like how people start out imitating or using someone else’s recipe and then gradually you find your own way to mix the flavors
Two of my favourite talents having a conversation, nice!
This appearance feels way too long overdue! I've been seeing John Mayer liking Team Coco's posts on Insta for so long for him not to be on the podcast. And the last time he's on Conan's show seems to be way back in the NBC days.
this is nostalgic because I remember picking up a guitar for the first time shortly after watching JM play on LNWCO back in 1998
Watched John Mayer open for Glen Phillips (he said you would be great) in Winooski VT and this is such a glorious interview that exposes the beauty of you. 🙏
John Mayer is a guitar god. Clearly one of the greatest ever. Only a few people technically are better, like Gutherie Govan, but I don’t think anyone has it all like John does. Melody, feel, technically perfect.
Also (and people often dismiss this fact) his ability to actually write a great pop hit. That type of musician barely comes around.
C'mon, he is good, but not even close to the best ones.
@luke5100 - Rick Beato compared him to Joe Bonamassa here. ruclips.net/video/2kgQvcVzcVU/видео.html

This is the 3rd song that canan has recommended and I liked. Is there any playlist of Conan's music recommendations
John Mayer is the best. Everyone should beg for his interviews
A DREAM HAS COME TRUE OMG
Loved his run with Dead & Co.
Just the other week I was thinking: is John ever gonna make it onto my favorite podcast.
How does someone come up with "spam-skinned skeleton"? 😆 🙌
Conan is THE GOAT
This episode really reminded me how funny John Mayer is. He's got great chemistry with Conan.
This is one of those episodes where I thought: okay, I'll play it while walking the dog. But Mayer's fun presence and that pointed, important question that got a great pointed, important answer out of Conan, regarding SNL's sketch thunderdome--so so good! New fan, JM!
I suppose the Conan podcast studio is almost as good as a Japanese cat bar.
I really loved and appreciated this dialogue.
I don't know who i love more, John or Conan ❤❤
John Mayer is like Flula's chill American cousin.
Conan is the best par none.
Another episode where Sonya gets a TON of money to laugh like a laugh track and say “ya” to Conan. Luckiest most fireable person in show biz.
no way! john mayerr!!!
Does anyone else think that there's something in John's mannerisms that makes him bear a striking resemblance to Flula? And then every time he does his kind of animated way of moving, I expect him to be telling a Flula-like joke... but he's just being completely sincere... and it's like an uncanny valley thing.
It was hilarious at the end.😂😂😂😂
The Miller Time ad makes me laugh, HARD. "that's it"
Why don't you guys post the full video of the podcasts?
You play with love 🙃😉😊😂
Came for the 'Miller Lite' ad, stayed for the John Mayer interview.
I could see Conan being THE orgasmic beauty of podcasts.
We really need these videos in full somewhere. I don't even care where, but I'm utterly and completely uninterested in audio only, and I'm well aware that I'm not the only one.
just for the record - maybe the best Miller Lite commercial of all time
Is there any way to 'watch' the full podcast? I don't want to just listen
So awesome 👌
Anytime I see a John Meyer interview I wait for his new big word he says that he only uses on this interview my new big word t o use
More please
Bro, it’s not old. It’s contentment. Savor it
yoooo. i love everyone in this podcast
This was a really great episode, it was more renewing than any real interaction I’ve had in years. How insane is that? #donttalkaboutbruno
Sona’s “that’s it” @3:48 is such bullshit even the guy in the background laughs his ass off! 🤣😂🤣
Love it ❤❤❤
I had a love-hate relationship with John Mayer. I always thought that he was a good musician but kind of a douche as a person but this episode somewhat changed my perception.

“Spam-skinned skeleton” 😅💀
Spam skined skeleton is crazy
The day has arrived
Immediately Matt writes on his notes writes..."John Mayer"
Hello Team Coco, you seriously need to give us the clip on ‘The Ballad of Limpy’. I know it’s not nice but could you somehow add stuff front and back and upload it please?? It was the funniest moment, almost all, of John Mayer’s pursuit of comedy. Thanks.
Only 2 people in that room seriously contributed to that conversation and were actually famous and interesting.
Not me, trying to zoom in on Gourley’s notes to see what he’s writing down. 😂😂😂
Johnny Guitar has got me through some challenging times with all his instagram lives and insane musical performances. I feel grateful to be in his era and to seesome of his live shows and engage in his content! Def going down in guitar hof
1:50: thats one hell of a joker laugh.
i can now die in peace thank you
Ay!! John Mayer!
So funnnyy
Saw him at the Cat Bar.....
John Mayer should be a CGP.
Frusciante blows away Mayer with his amp on standby.
I don’t agree but great comment lol
Ad break in a clip?
This is my dream, John Mayer & Conan... Two of my idol.....
I was so pleasantly surprised to see John's name in my podcast feed today! Such a fun episode.
Thought this was another Flula Borg interview at first glance
David Chapelle went to your shows many many times, you were the first show he attended when he came back from hiatus, yet you haven't invited him to this show yet.
Coco doesn't want to be his friend 😂
John has channeled Jerry Garcia completely
He’s also a massive troll
Who likes cocaine.
Who doesn’t?
Conan was freaked out by John Mayer.. it seems..this episode has a more serious tone i think.not that it bad.just found it hilarious
