Huge respect for Conan. He's mentioned that his daughter got him into Japanese Breakfast. I'm not surprised, but I love that he values his kids' tastes so much and is so willing to hear/learn new things.
This interview is the exact reason why Conan is the best.
Michelle seems like she can be an awesome friend. A great balance of depth and humor.
Agreed. Her nice and chill vibe is contagious
I’m a Korean living in the UK and my son is half Korean and half British. I picked up this book after hearing some positive reviews and I must say I literally cried through from the page 1. It was impossible to keep on reading it as I found it so raw in the relatable way. ❤
Of all the interviews Conan has done over the years with A-list celebs, etc, this is by far my fave of his because it just proves how true to himself, his team, and his guests that he is. The most genuine and down-to-earth host ever, the person who probably actually maintains true, authentic friendships with all the celebs he interviews on his shows after the cameras are done rolling.
7:45 "Someone took a picture of both of them laughing at something I said, so I framed it on my desk."
I grew up in a very small town called Anza-Borrego. When young I couldn’t stand it because of boredom and lack of friends.But later on in life I recognized how it forced me to use my imagination and creativity. Now I’m an artist.
I've never heard Japanese Breakfast, that I know of. but I am such a fan of the spirit that this young lady exudes, I will now give it a listen and I bet I'm gonna love it.
Strongly suggest the listen, her relationship with her mother really influenced her music
I never did either and now I am sooooo into their NPR Tiny Desk concert
You’re about to be blown away.
Are you related to conan?😢
@@thundertower
Lol, no. The name OBrien is one of the most common Irish surnames.
Equivalent to Smith in England or Lee in China.
Besides I'm much better looking with even more freckles! 🤪
All hilariousness aside, I've grown to deeply appreciate Conan's interview acumen. He can really get to the heart of things and people open up to him in beautiful fashion.
Been a fan of Michelle & Japanese Breakfast for a while and Im sooo happy that she’s getting her recognition
that thing about boredom and how not trying can lead you to originality really helps me
Great to listen to Conan and the gang in this format. I have no idea who this young woman is but found this interview fascinating
Check out her band, Japanese Breakfast! Very, very good.
I love when non-famous people are being interviewed. They are actually authentic, and not the play-pretenders. I live that conan brings such people up. Trevor Noah used to do that on his show, too.
@@Berlynic Totally agree. I wouldn't say she's non-famous though haha. She's got almost 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone and charted number 2 with her NYT best-selling memoir. Funnily enough to your point, Trevor Noah already interviewed her a year ago!
@@shanzo4134 oh! I didn't know!😅
This is so cool!
@@shanzo4134 thx. I went and did a Google search afterwards and found that band. Pleasantly surprise on how great they sound. Cheers
Watching this reminds me of how intelligent and empathic Conan is. 😊
Mannnn, he is a so good talker. The talk is so smooth
Michelle Zauner is an international treasure! Brilliant songwriter, outstanding performer, and a great writer! ❤️
She narrates the audio book and it is fantastic!
Her book is a low-key fave, coming out not long after my dad passed, though it did make me think more of my relationship with my mom. I think there's something really special getting to see the way her book and story really seems to resonate with Conan, too.
Conan is like fine wine. He only gets better with age. My wise funny dude. #1 goat.
A #2 goat isn’t possible.
@@xploration1437 ok boomer
@@ojenvahedi you’re still saying that? 🤦♂️
What happened ti his stand up show
Conan in podcast form is great. His interviews are very captivating.
Paprika such a beautiful song!!!! The lyrics are just magnificent and the horn section is outstanding.
I’m sure Michelle would have been a little nervous appearing on this podcast knowing about all the guests that usually are well known or in the film industry, but she was so wholesome and chill as always and really easy to talk to! I’m surprised Conan and Sona didn’t mention Crying in H Mart being made into a movie - I’m really excited for it and I reckon it will take the appreciation and love of Michelle’s memoir to a whole new level. ❤
Conan himself is a sort of a musician and has many musician friends around him.
Absolutely adore her and her book is an incredible read.
Sona checking her phone mid podcast is the most Sona thing ever 😂
@@Genny-Zee you are clearly new here 😂
It’s crazy how Conan can be such a goofball 99% of the time, and here he is basically being Terry Gross with his interview skills.
Great questions, insights, and reflections. I love the way Michelle covers her mouth when she laughs. I love Conan's hilarious tangent about (and impression of) Keith Richards. But then they get back on-track and I'm completely engrossed in the conversation again. This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Thankful to the YT algorithm for introducing it to me!
She is so beautiful and intelligent ❤
Love Conan's interviews. And when he laughs, it's so genuine. Thanks for introducing me to Japanese Breakfast.
Me. O'Brien, I must say, THIS is your format, wonderful work.
Love this long form format! Thank you!
Also half Asian and half white but grew up in NY but definitely did not feel normal here though lol I’m probably older though. I could not even imagine growing up in a rural area of the US
Loved this interview
Never heard of her until Conan's interview and I love Michelle's outlook. Listened to Paprika and a few other songs from her band and I am hooked. I am going to order her book and let my daughter read it, maybe it will inspire her in some ways. Thank you Michelle for sharing your music and talent.
How old is your daughter? The book is pretty heavy in dealing with grief (it is largely about dealing with her mom's cancer). It's an incredible read and I highly recommend it, but just fair warning.
Great interview. I just finished Michelle's book. Great read, very insightful.
I spent every spring break in oregon to visit family in woodburn and eugene oregon. being there as a kid was really fun just playing around with my cousins. the towns have gotten a bit bigger since the early 90's but I really learned to appreciate being there bored as a kid with my cousins. although there was nothing around the forests there were really open and beautiful.
Love Conan , he’s a great interviewer and caring person . ❤❤❤
Btw, Japanese Breakfast is awesome
How is every episode of this podcast better than the last
conan o'brien needs a full length video podcast
Such talent
This was really random and touching. What a great conversation. Thank you both for putting this out to us. I needed these sincere words.
This is great. I love Conan, he is such a great interviewer. I hope he keeps doing this, and keeps the podcast going forever!
I freakin' love H-Mart
I’m a Korean and I think she is absolutely talented. However, I’m still digesting the fact that she named her band “Japanese” Breakfast😂
Yeah ... it feels like cultural appropriation. Like you know this will grab the audience by exoticizing another population.
Understandable...But also note how the Hongdae crowd over here (both artists and clubbers, easily the most progressive slice of the young Korean populace) almost immediately accepted her entirety once they knew her background and journey as a musician: Michelle, the band, and her life story well before the book was even published...and by that time, the band name didn't bother them at all.
For the same reason as you, I also feel uncomfortable when she suddenly talks about Korea. It feels like she's just jumping on the recent popularity of K-culture.
Although she has the freedom to express what she feels as an artist, if she understands even a little bit about the uniqueness of the relationship between Japan and Korea, it's really strange for her to suddenly write a book like this while promoting herself under Japanese Breakfast as a band.
It's hard to shake off the feeling that she used to ride on the trend of Japanese culture before Korean culture became popular. It feels like she changed her direction towards what benefits herself more.
@@sjk6500 미쉘 저너에 대해 오해하시는 것 같네요. 단순히 한국 문화의 인기에 편승하기 위해 디렉션을 바꾸었다는 것은 지나친 곡해입니다. 이미 코로나 기간 베스트 셀러의 저자로 미국에서는 많은 인지도를 얻기 시작했고 음악도 크게 주목받고 있습니다. 저자의책도 읽어보시고 다른 인터뷰 (특히 트레버 노아와의 인터뷰) 등도 시청해 보시기 바랍니다 :)
@@sjk6500 I think you need to read her book because that’s not what happened at all.
Yes Michelle! Letting go and finding yourself! Yes!
To think this interview happened because Conans kid like her music is lowkey cute
Michelle seems like fun, feeding into Conan's imaginative tangents.
I resonate so much with all of what you both said here.
Nevermind! Almost.
Shout out from Eugene, Oregon 🤗
Wow! A very good question, Conan!
I had no idea Michelle had a band! I adored Crying in H Mart :O
She mentions her band and recording the first album, then touring in the book though?
3:03 completely forgot how boredom is a catalyst
great book! Great store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the Cone Bone!
I love H Mart!
Book runs very deep. I loved it, even though I cant pronounce any of the names of the foods! 😂
if you haven't read her book, you really should.
Hmart is bad company
@@user-up9qh3fg1w okay, i don’t know anything about that, but the book is good.
@@sgtmian 🥰
I once told a guy I dated one of my goals is to maybe run the Boston marathon. He mocked me and said "you know you need to qualify first, right?" I didn't actually know the process. After I ran my first marathon (my qualifying one), COVID happened. Then, in 2021, I ran the Boston Marathon (my second marathon ever). I hate when people doubt me or doubt people who want to do something just because they didn't train for it or take lessons their whole lives like privileged children. You can whatever who have the drive to do if you have the ability. You don't have to grow up rich and don't let rich kids discourage you from trying new things.
That guy also insulted me for wearing a colorful shirt saying something passive aggressive like "people who wear colorful things just want attention". I like color. I think beige is boring. That guy was boring.
What is the mic setup you use?
Jeeze I miss living in a town with an H Mart
The horse story! Doesn't it just make you love Keith...and Conan...all the more?
Conan showed some much humanity in this interview. He can do a proper interview as he’s a great listener when he’s not always trying to make jokes. Those are funny but sometime he shows humanity like this. Great one!
Revisit here after reading Crying in H mart
I love that/when Conan brings up people who are not famous, or who are not main stream famous. I don't care for celebrity interviews (except a very very few people, Conan would be one of them), but I always listen to an interview when I see a non-famous person, or a person who's not main stream famous. I find these people are actually authentic and have true values, not just engaging virtue signaling.
My mother passed away from breast cancer when I was seven, and it caused me to hate God for a long time. Even now, I'm agnostic at best, and I fear it's very likely there is no afterlife, but I still hope my mom is proud of me, even though I'm living a VERY lazy life (though I'm financially stable).
When someone asks you what are you just say HUMAN FROM THE PLANET EARTH.
❤️😎👍
Hey Sona is glowing in this
Conan‘s Monorail episode got a shoutout on the latest Simpsons as part of the worst disasters ever to hit the town.
This is the SNL Horse bit apparently, couldnt find one with keith talking about the horse and Conan guess it wasnt recorded ruclips.net/video/Cet0yHhDcJU/видео.html
Love ya sona
I think Conan's daughter can agree Michelle is so much cooler of a celebrity than Conan!
Hmart getting all this free press lol.
This is the least amount of tangents I have seen Conan take in a long video.
I never cared about my "roots," since I didn't fit any of my supposed molds. A white guy who's not racist, a straight guy who supports LGBT, an Irish-Mexican who hates booze, a US resident who hates guns and the military. It's always seemed silly to me to have pride over what ever chunk of earth you were born on. Just live happily and love genuinely - that's all you need to do.
lol of course you don't understand, you're literally the majority. bye ❤️
reply if you want, I'm not going to read it.
@@That_Lady_Charlie
Way to turn a wholesome, loving comment into toxicity. Very fitting for a RUclips comment. 🤣
Have a nice day.
That's NOT the Eugene I live in NOW!! Also, it does NOT rain all the time. In the 70's, yes. But weather patterns have been changing.😥😎
True fact - Conan lost a "manly contest" with Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, the Duke of Anjou while bathing at the Sauna Paraíso. Due to that loss, when Conan expires, his testicles are now to be preserved and sent to the Duke.
Horses, man. Without them we wouldn’t have built civilization.
I think I can see Conan giant head.
Ps. That gong is pretty sizeable

Woa that's so weird, she's 34 but she looks 20
Wait, I read that again. Does not look 20.
Id say she could pass for 28

I know she’s half Korean, but is she also Jack White’s half sister?!
Who is Jack?

She’s jimmy fallon big
u spliting up the intervies dont alwasys work lol
That how God works, you have to stop striving to see his hand working
There is no god.
We need Russell Brand in this podcast gonna be epic !
Eugene is the home of the University of Oregon. It is a very weird environment in a good way. GO DUCKS! In fact, she is lucky to have spent time there. She said she lived in the woods. Which is it, Autotune Breakfast? Eugene... or in the woods? You can absolutely go outside every day, you tool (Conan). Lots of people do!

…yikes dude.
Sounds like this was a weird trigger for you. In any case, she’s undeniably talented as a writer and a musician. You could be bitter about it - or go find your thing and become good at that and put something of your own into the world (besides nasty internet comments)
she grew up outside of eugene. as a kid you cant really just hop on a bus into town
F*ck the Ducks. Go Huskies
Someone needed a trigger warning it seems. Lol
I love Conan, but “dad is American” is so cringe 😬
huh?
Nice book. But so tired of never discussing the epidemic of white men and asian women.
Then start your own podcast and talk about it. Yeesh
Can you not do anymore interviews with 10 year olds? You're appealing to a younger crowd, and I get it. But I'm 50 and therefore your bread and butter. Interview Stephen Malkmus, or Wes Anderson, or the guy who chose the music for The Bear. But Jesus, an uninteresting kid who can't answer a question? You could have used that to get state secrets from me. I dearly love your comedy, but you interviewing 3rd graders is not good podcasting.
That’s a grown women dipshit, you should know better at your age
So you want to make the show some kind of ageist ghetto? That wouldn't suit Conan -- at all.
You must not be an actual Conan fan.
The world does not revolve around you.
The good news is that no one in any creative capacity anywhere gives a crap what you think.
Conan and the other Simpsons writers should reunite and write an episode of the Simpsons
Never heard of her. But she has nice satanic brutal death metal music.
not a fan of her book at all. simu's story much better and well written.
ok

@hypemanD - oh well. No one asked
