yeah the reason he "rips" into her is a sign of affection. some people are like that, esp conan with his "irish catholic" thing. he cant outright say he appreciates her, he has to do it by teasing and ribbing.
6:05 What a great moment :-P Conan instantly took something that should have been sweet (accidentally calling a good friend and personal assistant your daughter) and immediately twisted it into an insult lol.
I love Sona so hard it's ridiculous. She brings the best out of Conan and vice versa. Best duo ever! (No shade on Andy, we just get a lot more candid interaction between Cona and Sona)
I enjoy the podcasts more than most of the show guest interviews because they were too formulaic. That's also why I liked it more when he traveled, I like it when he improvises.
Last year for Christmas I soul searched and agonized for months about what to get my father. I ended up getting him a signed copy of his favorite band's (The Platters) album. I was so proud of myself and excited for him to open it. My brother got him a machine that made fart noises. To this day the Platters record sits in a corner by their old Victrola and he plays with that fart machine constantly.
This reminds me so much of my dad…my brother and his wife got him some fancy shaving kit he has literally never used and it’s under his sink to this day. I on the other hand, got him a salt ‘gun’ that he can kill flies with and I’ve never seen the man happier in my life as he runs about the house fly hunting every chance he gets! 😂😂😂
Awww.. anytime ten year old Conan comes out of current adult Conan I just want to give him a hug. He’s made it into comedy now but you can tell those wounds were/are there and very real too
Generational trauma is very real, and the fact that most of us have it is a reason why we're very flawed as humans. Happy for Conan for using that baggage to make other people smile
I actually relate to this on so many levels. My girlfriend has almost the same birthday as Conan's wife. I'm also catholic (though not Irish), and also never talked with my dad about feelings and never told him I loved him (which I regret ever since his unexpected passing). The radio story reminds me of what we did a few years ago. We gave him a new phone for Christmas (it was the new Nokia 3310), just because he had a 15 year old phone. Being who he was, he felt that he doesn't need a new phone, because the old one still works (he was the opposite of wasteful and hated changes), so he put it back in the box and wouldn't use it. The next year, mom decided we're gonna give him the unused phone again, and so we did. He laughed it off, but I'm sure he thought "I'm not gonna use it anyway". Then, a week later, on New Year's Eve, my parents went out and took some booze with them. Somebody didn't close the bottle properly, so it spilled in the bag and killed dad's old phone. When they came back, mom would joke that she had to drown the old phone to force him to use the new one.
His brother bought the gift from Lechmere and chucked it at him. I'm from New England, and about the same age as Conan. I remember Lechmere, and appreciate his brother chucking the gift at him(had older brothers as well). Fond memories.
I could understand the parents not doing it but there's no excuse for Santa to shirk on the wrapping. Cheapskate just doesn't want to pay the elves any overtime.
I hope I live long enough to see a movie about Conan and Sona's career friendship. I don't know who would play who, but I'd watch the hell out of that.
6:51 The look on Conan's face...that is such an Irish/Scottish thing. Doesn't necessarily need to be catholic. I know that look all too well. One of your best podcasts!
I feel stupid because I always thought everybody on the podcast were in different rooms or houses I had no idea they were all together at the same table LOL.
All the O'Brien kids need to get all those gifts out of Dad's study, rewrap them and regift them this Christmas. If he doesn't notice when he opens them he will when he goes to put them in the newly empty space in his study.
When Conan called Sona his daughter's name, and then he went "I just called you my daughter's name because I think of you as..." I was like, "Aw he's gonna say Sona's like a daughter to him!" But then he just goes "...A very immature child."
Why are the primary cameras recording at potato quality but the (seemingly) handheld camera recording through a glass window is orders of magnitude better?
Hey Conan, as a fellow guitar nut you, and others, might enjoy the Homeskoolin' show with Tom Bukovac! A brilliant session guitarist from Nashville. 👍🏻 Been watching your show from The Netherlands since the mid 90's, Conan, thank you. You and the people you make the show with are just great!
It’s interesting that Conan’s 3 Brothers had “Regular” American Names: Neil, Luke and Justin. But Conan’s highly educated Parents decided to name him with a Very Ethnic (Irish) Name.
@@kathleenrasing6818 I Think Conan’s Mother was Highly Medicated after his Birth and his Father was so Hungover from Celebrating like the Irish do over Births of Children that Both Wrote the Name “Conan” instead of “Connor” on his Birth Certificate and were too embarrassed to Correct the Mistake Later.
I've realized that Sona's survival technique with Conan is the ratio of non listening agreeing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh huh, and then to seem invested she occasionally tunes in and comments. Great communication skills 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 seriously
LOL...as a Dad...I have presents from Christmases and Birthdays past, that are still unopened, still new in their boxes and unused. I didn't remember them until my wife pulled them out of the closet for a street garage sale. I was selling my stuff to other men saying "never used", "new and still in the box". We sold everything. LOL.
Could ya'll PLEASE start posting the full video version of the podcasts??? 60% of Conan's charm comes from his physical comedy and that's just missing without the video. Not to mention missing Sona's facial reactions. Podcasts in video formats is already the thing for other top shows, just do it already instead of just clips!!

The moment Conan accidentally called Sona by his daughters name made my heart melt :D tells a lot about how close they are.
or because he thinks of her as a very immature child lmaoo
@@william2154 good save by conan
I noticed that too, it was very sweet
yeah the reason he "rips" into her is a sign of affection. some people are like that, esp conan with his "irish catholic" thing. he cant outright say he appreciates her, he has to do it by teasing and ribbing.
@@obiwankenobi661 hes taught everyone around him to do the same to him, aswell. makes for great comedy!
“A better son” Sona came in swinging
That is why she’s Conan’s Assistant!
She was fast with that one. I was not expecting it.. She's learning really well from her boss 😂
yeah i was like "damn shes been around conan for too long" lol
I love that the podcast cameras are 2000s video quality and then we've got the secondary camera filming Sona wrapping in 4k
You can see at 4:38 that the podcast cameras are webcams, but the one through the windows seems to be a proper camera..
I got so used to the usual shitty camera on CONAF, when they cut to the phone camera I feel like a blind person just see colors for the first time.
Who cares.
poetic cinema
Fun Fact: Those are original 1930s vintage cameras, proudly provided by Matt
6:05 What a great moment :-P Conan instantly took something that should have been sweet (accidentally calling a good friend and personal assistant your daughter) and immediately twisted it into an insult lol.
This is the way (the Conan way, lol).
Expected nothing less
It's a defense mechanism. He refuses to feel feelings lol
@@alexpolewski1247 the good ole Irish Catholic in him
I love Sona so hard it's ridiculous. She brings the best out of Conan and vice versa. Best duo ever! (No shade on Andy, we just get a lot more candid interaction between Cona and Sona)
You could've just said ''so much'', saying ''hard'' made it a bit...you know....creepy xD.
Yeah I love her sloppy flapwagons too
I know many Armenian and Persian women, they r some of my favorite women for their authentic selves. Loyal, gorgeous, hilarious, and hard working.
@@JNMKlover Hard-working... Have you even seen Sona's stuff? She'll be the first to tell you that she's not hard-working at all 😂
@@Phoenix_1991 oversexualization culture in a comment, cool
Conan called Sona 'Neve' by mistake. He sees sona like his daughter
Daughtera
alternatively, he gets his daughter to do the wrapping which I think is also funny
@@louschwick7301he definitely gets his daughter to do it.
A BETTER SON??
Sona's buuuuurns are fantastic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can tell Sona felt a little bad immediately after she said "a better son?" 😂😂 Love her and Conan's chemistry
I’ve watched a lot of Conan clips and this might be the first time I’ve seen Sona assist Conan in something!
Conan really needs to interview his parents.
Yes, please!
Yes!!
Or siblings!
That part.
His family 😆
NOT CONAN CALLING SONA NEV - why do I want to cry.
"This is my wife's birthday so... you're gonna learn something about me !" Classic Conan 🤣
OMG. a better son? funniest thing I've heard Sona say. Much love.
When Conan has a breakthrough, he has a breakdown shortly after.
3:55 I love the protein powder container being used as a raise for the laptop lol
LMAOOOO it's not a protein powder container im pretty sure it's one of those home depot brand cleaning wipes
Nice observation, I personally use the 1200-page organic chemistry book from college as my monitor stand.
Sona's "... a better son?" comment was so savage. Conan sang the sound track trying to recover from the burn. lol
Conan: we grew up like animals, I’m sorry we did!
Sona: yeah you did
IMAGINE SAYING THIS TO YOUR BOSS 😭😭
😂
“…a better son” 😂 😍
I love Sona and Conan. Their relationship is so pure and sweet.
I love the way Sona says "wrapping paper" and how excited she gets :D
I enjoy the podcasts more than most of the show guest interviews because they were too formulaic. That's also why I liked it more when he traveled, I like it when he improvises.
plus not being in front of an audience gives it a different dynamic
Sona's brilliant, glad she's back.
I would love it if Conan got his brother Luke on the podcast. It would be an epic episode
Or Neil

I bet your Dad really loves your brother.
Signed items are for preservation, destined to sit and gather dust.
Get a musician to sign the fart machine.
A fart machine? You know there are apps that can do the same thing. Or maybe even set his ringtone to a fart noise.
Sona doing something to actually earn her paychecks after all these years!
Thats why he had her do it right then so she wouldn't forget 😂
Love how the improvised camera is 10× better than the main podcast camera
When I heard this on the podcast I was really looking forward to seeing Sona casually wrapping the present on RUclips, glad they uploaded it.
Any time sona doesn’t feel like playing off whatever Conan says she just says “yeah”
I don't think Conan could ask for a better "assistant", though she's SO much more than that now. Sona is an integral part of the show.
"A better son?"
oh Sona, savage as always!
This is why I love Conan & SO GREAT TO SEE YOU SONA!!
Tons of lovesss from Korea!!

Sona became such an ultimate treasure in the Conan formula.
(Her wrapping paper looked like weed, haha. That's Sona.)

Haha haha. My husband is one of 7 children. I was horrified when he told me Santa never wrapped their gifts. Barbaric!
I could understand the parents not doing it but there's no excuse for Santa to shirk on the wrapping.
Cheapskate just doesn't want to pay the elves any overtime.
I was one of six children and my parents never wrapped our gifts.
Loveliest podcast and I love sona so much. She is so beautiful, I love her nose and laugh.
I hope they keep David on when ghurley comes back
I hope I live long enough to see a movie about Conan and Sona's career friendship. I don't know who would play who, but I'd watch the hell out of that.
6:51 very good one Mam Sona! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
6:51 The look on Conan's face...that is such an Irish/Scottish thing. Doesn't necessarily need to be catholic. I know that look all too well. One of your best podcasts!
Conan is the sweetest. What a great guy 💙
the thing i love about Sona is the she enjoys comedy as pure as a child and has no idea how funny herself is
I love how Conan tricked Sona into assisting him.
Oh man, when Sona swipes, she cuts deep. Lmao
I like how closely seated they all are
"A better son." 😆
3:37 - that laugh sounded EXACTLY like Andy's!
stimmt
Happy Birthday aunt Liza. btw Conan did learned twice wrapping. With Martha and the one in remote.
I can't imagine conan without sona..i love them so much!❤❤❤
I feel stupid because I always thought everybody on the podcast were in different rooms or houses I had no idea they were all together at the same table LOL.
They were seperate before vaccines.
I love Sona! It’s not that hard to wrap Conan! Christmas does suck though! After a while, I just go looking for gift bags. 🤣
My grandma is the same way about gifts. All her unused gifts are in a pile in the dining room. We call it the “gift graveyard.”
Conan, relationships are all about compromises. You should honor your wife's traditions and wrap gifts for your loved ones... THEN whip them at them!
They cut out the really funny bit where Conan thanks David for watching 😅
That was an important bit because it identified the one task Sona can handle that they can't.
what podcast episode is this from
@@kisttoe I think it was the Howie Mandel episode from November of 2021
All the O'Brien kids need to get all those gifts out of Dad's study, rewrap them and regift them this Christmas. If he doesn't notice when he opens them he will when he goes to put them in the newly empty space in his study.

i actually want to see Conan inviting his parents to the show, bet they have some good anecdotes of him :D
Sona is a genius!

Go away.

Used to think it was zoom earlier. But doesn't make sense now
Looks like they’re using their laptop webcams then maybe someone like Adam Sachs is using their phone to record through the window.
She wrapped a book, Conan amazed 🤣
I love the Blanche Devereux gift wrap
Happy bday to Liza! 🎉 🎉 🎉
This podcast is everything
I think Sona was on ad read mode in the beginning 😂😂😂
3:51.....wow, that shocked me a little, derr
Hey Conan, as a fellow guitar nut you, and others, might enjoy the Homeskoolin' show with Tom Bukovac! A brilliant session guitarist from Nashville. 👍🏻
Been watching your show from The Netherlands since the mid 90's, Conan, thank you. You and the people you make the show with are just great!
How cool to see Sona actually do something!
Got her!
As Sona's assistant said, "Sona is the best".
It’s interesting that Conan’s 3 Brothers had “Regular” American Names: Neil, Luke and Justin. But Conan’s highly educated Parents decided to name him with a Very Ethnic (Irish) Name.
They knew he's gonna go far...that or they just really made fun of him 😂😂

"I get her little things, like a book"
"Like Butter"
What lol!?
I've realized that Sona's survival technique with Conan is the ratio of non listening agreeing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh huh, and then to seem invested she occasionally tunes in and comments. Great communication skills 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 seriously
3:25 I mean, I know exactly what Sona means by smooth wrapping paper feeling like butter. But C'MON! EVEN BETTER THAN MIKEY AND CHARLIE?!?!!?? 🤣
Its funny I wear my headphones like Conan does because it hurts my ears when the earcups go on top lol.
I just think it’s a waste of paper. That’s why gift bags and stockings are such good ideas, you can just reuse them year after year.
I grew up in MA also and almost had an aneurysm when Coco said Lechmere!
This format of podcast is hilarious and very very dangerous
3:56 hahaha yeah you did
" a better son ? " ..... damn Sona.... jeeze
where can we listen to the podcast while watching the footage as well ? on spotify its just the voice recording !
LOL...as a Dad...I have presents from Christmases and Birthdays past, that are still unopened, still new in their boxes and unused.

Lol 🤣 😆 😄 that's sweet
7:12 because you are a true man of culture Conan. Because you are a true man of culture, and you know Spaghetti Westerns make everything better.
Sona means 'Gold' in Hindi. Very apt name!
Happy birthday Liza!
Love from india,conan the cockeroo obrien is well known in the land of magoosh.ALL HAIL COCKEROO
Absolute babe
My sister is really good at wrapping and decorating packages too
Conan should interview his dad/mom. Lots of people are doing it: Hasan Minhaj did it, Justin Baldoni, etc. Come on Conan!
I wonder if Conan also confuses Sona and his daughter when it comes to slapping food out of her hand

Not to mention missing Sona's facial reactions. Podcasts in video formats is already the thing for other top shows, just do it already instead of just clips!!
I thought all dads did that! Mine sure did! 😂💗😂
Conan will probs take credit for the gift wrapping!
What a choice of podcasting snack.
I'm just now realizing they're all in the same room.
I think Conan probably wanted the X-Files theme but his brain went for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly instead.
I love how he is using a 20 dollar scissor mic arm from amazon
Awesome shirt, Conan.
Legendary
THAT FREUDIAN SLIP THOUGH
Suggestion. I use a knife to get straight edges for wrapping. A nice paring knife. Makes it awesome
