billy show with adam sandley where he starts small and then gets big do you even know what you're saying the madison billy show it's been many months since i've made direct eye contact with someone other than deadlift while you're loofing in the shower you know it have you been watching no you told me that earlier oh that's correct you uh i'm told that during the pandemic you started selling inventions oh yes and uh you created something uh called shade dana's oh shade of danos yeah so you know many years ago i invented some very fun things they're very rare and very cool and nobody bought any but i figured you know if at first you don't uh succeed keep doing it over and over again as a definition of uh sanity so i decided to sell them once more okay so you invented something called shade dana's shader daniels shade diana's what explain the name shay dennis they are shades fifty percent bandanas and one hundred percent sassy okay oh it's in your little uh pouch i've saved what whatever you call that what do you call that it's the schlongbag oh schlongbag yeah i'm sorry i was so crass um this is the final uh this is the final one so i've sold all of them but i've been saving this one this is a one of a kind for you this is like if you are having the sword of teddy roosevelt from the battle of san juan hill this is what this is that i you know i'm a big teddy roosevelt fan i i so this is a combination uh shades and bandanas shade dana's look at that watch out oh do you have what's that what did you say oh yeah hey right i'll give it to you yeah this is fantastic i could you know i've been i'm sporting a little bandana lately this one i think it's sassy this one's very sexy uh look at this oh look at that oh so it's oh look it's a bandana and then and then oh where's conan o'brien what's a pale george clooney doing here how did you enjoy filming the descendants dude of all his movies you go with the descendants i don't know why not of everything he's done the descendants is what you come up sorry how was filming the peacemaker in 1997 here clooney you come up with these references emmy debbie it's imdb nobody said that that looks great oh fantastic and if you put it on it's like unforgiven plus er okay you know what uh you are this you might be onto something here i agree with it and by that i mean you're not oh sarcasmos i love it she shoots you yeah okay what are we doing who knows um uh well uh listen best of luck with shade dennis thank you very much that works you also uh sold something called danced on sand can you tell us what danced on sand is yeah dance stone sands are grains of sand that i have danced on for eight measures of techno music and spread around peoples with vials so they can enjoy these grains of

of dances but why i know i'm just saying you could have cut that part in half conan when you go to baskin robbie do they say hey home of maybe two flavors no they don't because they have like how many at least twenty okay you know congratulations are in order and not for your products that you're selling okay i don't have confidence in those at all but the suicide squad this is a big movie a big movie uh that you're going to be in and it is very secretive you are sworn to secrecy you can't tell anybody about the movie yes i was told nothing about it they told me the name of my character so i just started google it's javelin javelin yeah we have a picture here of javelin oh great and um this is javelin right here oh smokey jones no okay and uh now javelin is this is um am i correct i don't know what his superpower is but like all heroes he must have a special ability javelin what can you do can you tell us anything about him yeah yeah he is a former german olympic uh javelin thrower he's very much athletic he likes to be rude and evil and he has a very huge javelin yeah so in this part you you're required to throw a javelin i'm guessing or or use a javelin i was not certain what i was supposed to be doing as this javelin person so i just started googling all of the things of javelin there's a band called javelin so it's like listening to the music of javelin that guess what that feels unnecessary oh i don't know you know potato patootie and i also i started a coding in javascript uh just for fun i made a website again it has a form but again i wish you had spoken to the director he probably could have saved you some time why why ask just do you know okay did you travel to java is did you go to java no but i googled photos of it okay i also uh wrapped myself in javelin which sounds like javelin and it's an oil so i thought why not let's do it and then also a javelina is an animal it's a small or medium-sized mammal that is also known as the skunk pig so i i visited two of those and we spent some time together okay did you ever uh do anything physical to prepare for this role to the skunk pigs no no no what i meant was did you ever practice with an actual javelin because i would imagine that if the character's name is javelin you maybe have a javelin yeah but jeff oh sorry there's a flizzy uh javelin's office javelin's it's a fly right i got it i'm pretty sure i got it no he's here oh you got him okay all right oh my thing is open great theater you have here flanagan what a wonderful place sorry my interceptor was exposed okay settle down yeah i'm curious did you ever practice with an actual javelin to prepare for the role of javelin no it's called acting [Laughter] well uh clearly you know very little bit about the movie and you've shot the film oh it's shot yes but i've forgotten everything you know it's have you seen that film with tommy tommy johnson and he's like hey everyone what happened oh look at my pen poop man in black yes i got one of your references yeah that's a popular movie that people have seen is it true [Laughter] i don't know i do want to thank you because um a very fond memory all of us remember where we were when the pandemic hit when the shutdown happened i think i could be wrong i think you were one of my last guests before the lights went out and we all went into that 14 15 month quarantine absolutely uh conan when it happened we had our show and then i felt like that german character from uh star wars hans uh hans it's han solo and like he's like hanging out with jabberman and he's like bye oh and he gets frozen in carbonite yeah and the carbon boy and then after some months unfreeze and now this is my first time speaking to humans again conan yeah so i'm like conan yeah what conan what did i say you put an umlaut over there you go cunning conan cunha no it's just conan conan sounds cool though well that's your opinion why'd you wear a bandana well i just did it today i i wanted to i don't know break it up a little bit and as you know we wear masks but here in the theater i like to have like a bandanna and then what i can do is i can just pull it up and then look at me yeah i'm a sassy bandit and so i've been wearing uh this today and i just thought it breaks it up it's a little bit of color to have a neckerchief i like it i like it hey where is the nearest saloon because i'm a cowboy yeah listen okay i enjoy you very much flula also i love you as well uh i didn't say love i said i enjoy you i also have enjoyments of time spent with uh yeah okay um you're a good guy and uh i want to say thank you in your own native tongue maybe you could tell me how to say that you're feeling dang fiend oh well that's a song by freddie mercury it's like in vegas singing it all the time i

physical you skinned them yeah um i know that uh as we go out to commercial you probably and i plug your project you probably want to do some kind of uh uh german folk dance on the way out that's probably something you would prefer to do i would like this yes yeah uh so why don't i begin the suicide squad is in theaters and on uh that's that's there's no way that's this part was not a german folk dance you begin the introduction saying i'm one of the sexiest north bavarian uh uh male german djs hello how do you think it could you don't just wake up and do it yeah you make it okay go ahead
