I saw zach once and he knew that I knew and he just kept staring at me through out the store. From outside to inside and back again outside he honestly wouldn’t stop starting at me and then at the end we kinda got in our cars at the same time and he just gave me the most classic zach face and I was dying in laughter and he waved and I waved and it was absolutely perfect.
That sounds like you didn’t make it up, I really hope you didn’t cause that sounds hilariously awsome.
So you were the guy wearing a Who Farted? t-shirt then, huh?
@@RogueNoble He didn't go up and talk to Zach so obviously he was wearing a doctor's smock.
I rlly hope this is true
Why would he be staring at you the whole time? I call b.s in your dreams maybe.
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
Hey! Yes Dr.benfungi
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
He really told an embarrassing story while making everyone laugh. That's cool man.
@@rafaelmoura2103 definitely not
I would upvote but don't want to mess up 420 vote count
I look at people's eyes during interviews. The moment they look to be reading from a teleprompter I tune out. Maybe it's just me down and to the left and right. It's all scripted with occasional deviations I guess that's show business.
fat jesus
he's a comedian, and he has supporters, but he isn't funny...
Seems like a fun guy to sit down and have a vodka sausage drink with.

Seems like a great breakfast beverage
Only if it's Absolute Vodka...
@@JewShady Sausodka seems more fun to me
I don’t think that’s a real drink, is it? I never sausage a thing

That broke me.
LMFAOOOO
That broke everyone tbh
@Farts Poo lmao
Why?
Me too man. Me too!
Awesome to hear! I quit 3 years ago, got to let it go and find peace. Anyone that needs to hear this you can do it
I'm quitting this year! I know it's cliché but I'll be turning 38 in 5 days enough is enough.
@@lunarlives468 it's hard man but thank you ❤️
Yes they can
Let it go and find peace? Lol, what.
@@RP-ue9wy go take a nap
I absolutely love Zach’s sense of humor. And good for him for quitting drinking.
Man, Zach is probably every late night host dream guest. He's very funny and quick with the punchlines. Im sure some of it is rehearsed in his head on what he might talk about or even with Conan, but still one of the best.
m.ruclips.net/video/Aaf7IOhusUw/видео.html
Zach is indeed great at late night shows, but robin williams was the best!
Most comedians will have material prepped (and occasionally the hosts will be in on the jokes to set them up properly), actors will also have previews of questions that get run past them and their teams for approval, and some even have the writers give them jokes to appear wittier. It’s all very performative, which is also why some of the most memorable interviews are the ones where the guest is completely off the cuff and throws everything out of loop
"Did you have a moment that led you to stop drinking?" is an extremely personal question, not one that can pulled off easily on a talk show in front of millions of people. Speaks to the talent of Conan and Galifianakis that they held this conversation so smoothly.
I think there’s usually a pre-interview before a guest goes on air, so he likely would’ve known and approved of the question before Conan asked it
“…there’s about 20 things” FELT THAT
Notice how nobody clapped for him when he said he quit drinking. That’s how many people have a drinking problem.
why does it feel like he's making up everything he says while saying it. Like the next word depends on the last two words 😂😂
That's just his style of humor when it comes to story telling.
Being careful what he says, probably changes certain details he doesn't want publicly known.
good God, this isn't Norm Mac-Donald we're talkin about here!
Cause he is. He’s a comedian LOL
I’m thinking it’s because he’s making it up as he goes.
Good on Mr. Zach quitting drinking! I'm 2 years sober, hardly ever been unhappy since.
That’s awesome!
Amen.
Hill's Banjo, good for you, mate!! I may not know you, but I'm still proud as hell of you!
9 months for me yesterday!! let’s get it ;)
Good man 👊
I really like this guy.
Everyone does
Yep, me too 🙂
I can’t even imagine dealing with crowds of people noticing you everywhere you go. I saw Zach at a bar in Hollywood back in 2005 right before he got really big fandom with the hangover. Only me and one other friend even knew who he was from out cold, but we just let him be. He was literally at the bar drinking a beer by himself and not a single person came up to him the whole time we were there. I’ll bet Zach misses those days when he could be at a restaurant or bar and no one bothers him.
Do u actually feel bad for famous people being noticed? Actors musicians etc. they all asked for that lifestyle and are paid more than like 95% of the world to reciprocate for it.
You are a Saint sir.
Harrison Ford comes to my town all the time, he has a place out here and loves one of the local restaurants. Next thing you know, all the local Facebook pages and even the local news starts plastering him in a photo at this restaurant with a fan.
I have to put myself in his shoes. Sometimes. It's not the time or the place.
@@sourstateofmind5944 Most successful actors and musicians just want to be at the top of their craft, just so happens that when they reach that in their line of work fame generally follows. So yeah, I feel bad for those who are introverted and don't want the attention. Pretty much any other career, even ones where you become more rich than them don't have that side effect.
@@jackhamm7745 gtfo. They choose that career path knowing what comes with it.
@@nyikasplace9886 i bet some of them think they know what to expect but when it actually happens it can be overwhelming. many musicians love making music, they are not in it because they love to be famous (even though there are people who just want to be famous).
Thank you for sharing that you stopped drinking! I have laughed at your characters, but really respect the man (anyone really) who can admit, adjust, and adapt to such a difficult decision and live on!

Toward the end he said ''ya cut back on it'' not quit. Adjust to a lesser life is really a lame thing to have to do. Especially when all you have to do is pull it out and learn to hold your liqueur
A remote with Zach... All of us lets make is happen, keep commenting it
Yea!!
What does this even mean?
Bruh, why you even watching this clip when you're unaware of remotes. Go checkout conan's remotes.

i'm surprised they didn't kick his ass.but i'm glad they didn't.but spitting is very lame.
I've battled drinking from the age of 25 to 45 because I found myself living for the weekends and not happy with my choice of work carrier. I would drink through the week to cope with life and binge drink with friends on weekends when possible. At 45 I emotionally knew I was failing in life by my choices and actions from alcohol. At 47 I found my passion for the outdoors to be more true to myself, so I started a tube channel for fishing and camping. I am happy to say that I found myself before loosing everything I had embracing me like my wife and kids to the true friends that were not abusers. I can stay sober for weeks now and choose when and how much I want to drink if I choose to with friends. Life really begins when you understand!
I'm almost exactly where you were at 36 now. I'm 7 days sober for the first time in many years. Feels amazing. Glad you got it under control and found your purpose.
@@getstuk87 Don't give up. What I have found is watching others that were like me has showed me how bad my choices were almost like a reflection. I can reflect on a lot of consequences that created and use it as a tool in life. I also know my limit so my attitude stays under control and and not let myself get out of control.
In all seriousness, it's great he recognized the problem, good for him. I've always liked everything he does.
He spoke facts and seemed like he wanted to be taken serious. As a person (myself) who uses jokes as a way to keep others happy, it was a serious issue in his life. People don’t pick up on that. When he spoke about his drinking,
I understood him. Sadly had to turn to being the same funny guy he is to take the light away from a serious issue at hand. Specially being on a talk show like he mentioned.
Wow that’s exactly what I do constantly make jokes. To keep them away. I’m getting tired of it it’s wearing me down.
@@jonkline709 sadly
If we do, then there’s a problem with us. We can’t stop being funny without being judged. So I continue to make others laugh while inside I hurt.
They don't want to. It's an uncomfortable truth. Alcohol is poison to your body and mind. It does nothing of value for your life. Legalised poison to numb the masses.
@@josuepena1567 🤣
Interesting. I assumed people picked up on it because I usually do. I'm hypersensitive to irony and negative emotion as a trauma coping mechanism.
that's right Zac it ain't just one bad night, it is all the bad nights punctuated by one supremely bad night
I was in the audience that day! The first guest was Jim Gaffigan. This brought back memories.
The 15th of May, 2013.

Is he greek
@@kristyhawes His last name sounds extremely Greek to me

He's naturally funny, and I don't know if he gets enough credit.
I imagine he can take out a bank loan without any problems
more likely he has worked really hard at it
Boa noite, esse cara é bom demais no humor. Adorei o vídeo.
He's one of those people who was simply just born to do comedy. It's so effortless seeming to him that I think it's just his actual, natural personality.
I got a pretty funny little story actually. I wasn't there but my neighbors were all hanging out, I live in a very touristy area and a lot of movies are filmed around here but it's not California/Hollywood, and at the time he was filming "The Campaign" with Will Ferrell. Anyway, my neighbor is very open to the tourists and passers-by and her front door is basically always unlocked if not outright open and there's almost always a party going down when she's in town.
Anyway, one night none other than Zach Galifianakis shows up, walks in and just wants to kind of see what is going on at this open house gathering. He's talking to my neighbor for like maybe 20-30 minutes or so, and finally he asks "Where is the best bar around here?" because in this same area there is basically nothing but bars and clubs and restaurants. She recommends one to him, he says thanks and goes on his merry way.
As he's leaving, my neighbor's daughter is like "Don't you even know who that was?" and she said "No, who is he?" and then her daughter tells her "Dude, that's Zach Galifianakis! He's a pretty famous comedian!" and my neighbor immediately shuffles outside and is like "ZACH! Zach, come back here for a second!" and he does.
She says "Are you famous?" and he says "Well, I thought I was"
😂
Love this guy. He has brought so much laughter into my life 😂
m.ruclips.net/video/Aaf7IOhusUw/видео.html
Me too 🤣
I always see him sparking up that joint on that talk show!!!!
Applause for Zach, and bravo for sharing honestly!
Hello 👋🏻
That is a really funny and inspiring story. I’m sitting here a bit hungover and having, as usual, said/done some silly stuff. I’m quitting too
Likewise, the stuff I do gets worse the more frequent I drink but I live in the middle of city full of bars and it’s hard when you’re single and don’t really know anyone, I end up saying to myself I’m going out for 2 and at the minimum it will end up being 6 pints
Nah just work on building character and self control. Don't neuter your life. If you can't achieve that and have to become a teetotaler at least don't join the cult. Seen a few people fall to that not pretty
Same. These hangovers get ugly once you clear 35. I mean REAL hangovers. It's pathetic
Update?
Timely, had a couple of benders recently after a long gap and feel awful again mainly because of doing silly things that don’t align with my sober standards. Had to speak to a friend after to say that won’t be doing it again - really want to try and stay clear of situations where it might happen (stag dos, reunions in town centres where there are lots of pubs) - think that’s the only way ❤. Hope alls good anyone who sees
That's excellent to hear Zach. Love all your movies.
I just love how he keeps us entertained!
💕 kudos on the sobriety, and to everyone else on their journey, good luck, 1 day at a time
Zach and Conan bounce off each other so well hahah
Really, have you watched another interview?
This is one of the most genuinely hilarious guys ever
I thought he was gonna say, "one day me and my boys went to Vegas for the weekend and...." Haha
You're a hell of a guy, Zack. Thank you for the story. We all have one or two, not many of us are as brave as you.
This feels like a "Between two ferns" episode.
The guy's timing is so on point! What a great comedian!
I love him so much ❤️ what a innocent legend ❤️
I can relate although I have never drank any alcohol or drugs in my life my Father and Uncles were massive drunks and I saw that growing up as kid and that was that. It’s terrible to be addicted to substance abuse.
Man, this guy is just hilarious - just naturally funny!
Oh man, Zach never gets old. One of the funniest guys in the world.

I dont know it sounds like any breath could be his last
I love him. He’s hilarious
We’ve all been there. (Meaning heavy drinkers). Doing things while drunk that you think is good, but it never is. I’m thankful to be alive with the amount of anger I’ve displayed. I truly appreciate this story.
I'd literally watched all of Conan's videos on RUclips and this appeared on my screen it was like finding water in a desert. Thanks Team Coco
Only few guests bring genuine smile on Conan. Zach is one of them.
And who's the other guest?
You guessed it
Frank Stallone
Bill Burr is the other
He had anxiety answering the drinking question. Id recognize that anywhere. Apparently a lot of comedians do.
@Stefan Pete He’s super anxious in this video, you can tell by his breathing patterns. But doing an amazing job at keeping it together like the pro that he is, and hilarious as ever!
@@Unintended911 happens to most of the famous people I see go on talk shows
@@ryant8430 Yeah, must be terrifying going on one of those shows
Too bad most people with major problems hurting others or themselves can't SEE it and stop.
Nah they rehearse it all before it's taped in front of a live audience
...I think
Conan: "6 foot 6, so about normal height."
Watching Die Hard 2. His Ferns with Willis was classic. Bruce looked like he was going to kill him any second.
The most funniest and talented comedian he's a master
So agreed
He’s great 😂
Yeah, and Zach very nice comedian too
He's not the bestest but is more greater than many much
He’s funny. But don’t get it twisted. Dave Chappelle is the funniest and most talented comedian to ever walk the earth
He's your master....really?!
Love both these guys.
I saw him in New York and said hello and I was a fan, he was very polite.
Vodka and Sausage? That sounds like Christmas, too me.
One of the most funniest interviews ever love it he is hilarious
Wasn't that funny, surely?
Good for Zach! People never realize (even when they drink a small amount) how much it would change their lives for the better.
Legalised poison to keep the masses numb. There is a reason it's called a poison and a spirit. Not by accident.
Man you’re gullible asf lol
Just dealt with this 2 nights ago. Ruined my life.
True
Not really. If you drink small amounts, it wouldn't really change your life at all to quit.
I know because I did it. Used to drink like every weekend, but haven't for the past few years. No difference whatsoever outside of maybe saving a little money, but that just ends up going somewhere else anyways.
The biggest takeaway from this for me was that there’s superstars like Zach Galifianakis that are just roaming the streets alone, just wearing a hoodie and listening to music, and we’d never expect it.
He was in New York. It’s considered really tacky there to bother celebrities
@@jackedkerouac4414 Not that it's considered tacky, it's just people generally don't give af who you are lol

He worries me, he gives me deep robin williams vibes
Once you mentioned it I realized he’s facial expression and eye movement is just like him.
No offense but he doesn't even in the slightest way remind me of Robin

I love Zach and all the things he does. I feel a lot of comedic actors today were influenced by him.
Nice jobs,thanks share
I absolutely love this man
Conan can always joust with the best comedians, and he does it very well. He always can give them time to tell a story, and has no problem being the straight man. Everything about this was hilarious. Conan always will be my favorite.

hilarious. Zach never treats these talk shows seriously always bullshitting. that's why we love him
he just cool.
This dude is smart and genuine
1:26 he should have added: "I've got one at home!" That pause is about him thinking about saying that.
My personal "quit drinking" story - Battle buddies convinced me that, after taking night medication for a cold, it would be a great idea to have a few drinks. This was under the guise of celebrating their return to Iraq the following week from Camp Shelby MS (which was where we were at the time - in Hattiesburg MS). I don't remember anything after that, other than waking up the following morning in University Hospital (Tulane) in New Orleans; chained to a hospital gurney, no pants, no underwear, no phone, half of a pair of shoes, and a few fractured bones. Apparently a cop car had shown up a few hours earlier and the two officers piloting this shuttle dropped me out on the curb in front of the hospital entrance before slowly driving away. There are more stories than this that constantly filter in through various recounted tales from nurses who fielded calls on your antics all night. Imagine having to explain everything you know, which is being told to you through second-hand accounts, to your wife who lives 8 hours away - while convincing her its a good idea to come and pick you up.
