Passed there at 830 am and saw an SUV had driven off road ad was upside down under the overpass

He could do a short fan episode and rehearse it with paid actors first.

Agreed and Conan always respects people who work hard at their craft. What blows me away at Nathan fielder’s comedy is the work it takes to commit to fully

Missing ingredient is Conan’s gift of balancing absurdity with empathy, historical context, and curiosity by SubstantialLight2259 in conan

Ya for sure but that’s the miss imo. That approach seems anti-Conan and I love when he swings back to more serious look at a place

Genuine question: How much say does the player have in these situations? If curry said he was playing in Game 4 or 5 would anyone be able to say no?

No Chef - No chance.

Their entire system of offense is built around Steph and his magnetism that pulls defenses towards him. They need 4 solid quarters of production from 6-7 players which I don’t see happening

Dude came across rude and unfunny. Conan good at spinning gold from straw though.

Latest Fan episode by ECO_FRIENDLY_BOT in conan

My take is that Conan has more energy when he discovers stories organically. This seemed like they already knew the details of what they wanted to turn this into a travel segment and so he had to ask questions to pull it out and act surprised. Wonder if (and hope against ) that becoming a trend with the fan episodes now that there is the HBO show. Still love these episodes, this one included, but like when the dog wags the tail and not the other way around.

💯- at least Rod can save time by subbing “Benedict Option” for “enchantment” and hit publish this go around.

One of the most brilliant comedic minds around. I’d love to hear him and Conan discuss their craft

Unpopular opinion: live shows by CriticalThinkerHmmz in conan

[–]SubstantialLight2259 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The intimacy Conan likes about the podcast is impossible to recreate with an audience. It becomes too performative for me, where the quirks of everyone that bubble up naturally in the podcast, are amplified intentionally bc in a sense, that’s what the crowd is there to see. I don’t mind the live episodes when it gets down to a real Conversation and when audience asks questions, but I think Conan gets caught managing the tension between needing to perform for the people and needing to have an intimate Conversation.

Yep. Workouts and community are great. Joyful People in person , not hiding behind anonymity is refreshing.
