    It’s great that Conan is not so egotistical that he can’t share the podcast with another esteemed comedian, Matt Gourley. Also, being that Gourley is a scientist, it lends a level of authority and authenticity to the podcast which the media is rightfully taking advantage of.

      Sometimes he is way better at doing that, that in being the main piece. Sometimes the bit is dragged out a little too long. The best is when he reacts at crazy stuff and all three are quickly interacting and the improv grows organically from that. The old ‘creepy crazy incorreggibile Conan’ schtick, wears thin pretty soon if you ask me. And I’m a freakish Conan fan.

      Quite a bit. In psychology, personality is usually described in terms of the "big five" personality traits. Sona definitely seems like she would score low in conscientiousness, and not be particularly high in agreeableness. People like that tend to have problems maintaining employment.

    I was waiting for them to upload this vide! I actually read the headline that Matt talked about! Don't know which one but I mainly read headlines and move on. So, when I read that, I thought weird but interesting and moved on. And when I was catching up on my Conan episodes and Gourley brought it up in that fan episode, I thought Gourley was bringing up the same thing I read. Imagine my surprise that it was the other way round. If I wasn't a listener of this podcast, this 'fact' would have stayed in my mind as interesting bit of trivia.
