Sona Has Never Had The "Sunday Blues" | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

we're plowing through the summer unless it's a uh that's of course it's a rebroadcast maybe you're listening to this years from now and it's and maybe you're in a part of the world where it's not only winter but it's freezing out so me talking about the summer is just stupid now and through the summer we're plowing through the summer I I'm gonna tell you of course no you know what I have a um I got a cold last week and uh my throat's a little iffy and so just my throat wasn't working correctly for a second and it was a crucial second because I'm podcasting to billions of people around the world right now dude with a sore throat how do you plow through the summer yeah well I'm going to and you had a cold last week we saw you last week and you breathed overall it does this to us all the time yeah I just think it's a celebrity cold welcome to have it you can sell it on eBay oh Jesus anyway my point is joined by Sonam Obsession Matt Gourley and the point I'm making is that I used to have a lot of anxiety I was very happy about the summer obviously because I didn't like going to school and when the summer would come the minute July 4th was over I started getting anxious about oh no no the summer it's going too quickly you know how do I slow it down and then suddenly it's July 15th and you think no oh this is awful it's almost August and it was just this terrible and then I would ruin the summer because you were worried because I was worried about the summer and I know and I had that problem too did you have it seriously yeah I loved staying home from school so much that I almost couldn't enjoy it I always enjoy the day before a day off more than the day off yes isn't that horrible I understand that yeah I always liked sort of late Friday afternoon was my favorite part of the weekend because technically the weekend hadn't started yet yeah and then once the weekend started there was all this anxiety about it's going too quickly no yes that is not me at all I enjoyed it up until Sunday Monday morning you don't get Sunday Blues no oh I would get terrible Sunday better I didn't even know that was something people have oh I used to bust out my harmonica oh my God and I made and I used to sit on my front porch in Brookline Massachusetts you guys just didn't enjoy yourselves oh I made my room into a prison cell and I just rub a cup against the bars you don't rub it you wrap it you rub it rub it rub it in your room purely sexual thing you guys did never do rub a cup come on I can't wait you're good everyone's gone I can rub this cup against These Bars takes away the Sunday Blues let me tell you that much anyway uh yeah and so now I don't have it as much as an adult because uh I don't have to go to school again in the fall yeah but I had it a bad case of it so I'm just thinking about this because I remembered feeling the countdown happening after July 4th and having some anxiety about it but that only gives you like a few weeks where you actually enjoyed your summer it's a curse it's not a good thing I'm surprised both of you were like this we're similar in a lot of ways admit it yeah no we are we have similarities you know we're taking a break for this show the the listeners won't know it'll continue to come out steadily but we're taking a month off we're not going to see each other do you think like three weeks or two even one weekend you're gonna start to go oh no I have to go back no because you enjoy it because you love us I do enjoy doing this I'm not gonna make a joke I do enjoy hanging with you guys but uh this will give me a chance to really get in shape sorry this show is sponsored by better help so I know you're uh very busy yeah you've got twins yes twins who are over two now they're gonna be two in July it's very easy to find yourself uh doing things for other people or trying to be really productive and get a lot done and take care of everybody I know you're a caretaking personality yeah I am so are you and and what happens sometimes is you'd realize I haven't checked in on myself I have no clue how I'm doing yeah I bring this up because I'm a big believer in talk therapy if you if you can find the right fit right person and getting help it's made a huge difference in my life yeah in some ways I've been your therapist over the years you have been you've been and I and I think that you're if you didn't want to prayer I don't want to pay someone so I figured if I could just talk to you I'll just do it for free but it is so it is important to talk to someone if you're thinking of starting therapy maybe give better help a try here's what I like about betterhelp it's entirely online this didn't exist back in the day when I was maybe looking for someone to talk to and it's such a smart way to get involved in this process better help is designed to be convenient flexible and suited to your schedule find more balance with better help I really think this is a terrific idea visit betterhelp.com Conan today to get 10 off your first month that's better help h-e-l-p.com slash Conan I'm surprised because I thought you liked school and you're like Yay I got to learn again in a few weeks no I was very anxious about school oh okay yeah a lot of anxiety about school especially Elementary School fourth grade fifth grade sixth grade seventh grade all three I mean it was anxiety provoking for me I was a crier you cried yeah they dropped me off is that true yeah I would cry I would scream and cry yeah sometimes I see you outside the podcast Studio crying and you've just been dropped off by your mother yes and you have a note on your shirt that says hi my name is Matt I'm allergic to nuts I would still like to be viewed as a tough person but I was a Christian I don't want this to hurt my perception that people have of me yeah as a you're a tough guy who cries and when put in prison the first thing you'll do is take your cup and rub it against the bars in an erotic ecstasy hey can I tell you something this is completely taking us in a different direction here boss but um it's something that popped into my head recently and now it's taking me out of every TV show or movie I watch which is when you're watching a TV show and I may have mentioned this before but sometimes my family and I now that we're all together again my daughter was off in college but we're all back sometimes if we want to all do something together we watch say like an old a vintage Gossip Girl you know and one of the things that I can't get out of my head is they'll show a scene will start with the elevator opening and a guy coming out like Chuck Bass or one of these serious characters coming out and giving some grave news fast and um or like this old guy who's supposed to be a senator or a captain of industry who's the father of one of these young people the elevator door opens up and he comes out and all I can think about is how it's not a real elevator that the actor oh yeah has to sit in there and tell people on either side pull the doors open and he comes out and so it's kind of in my head now and I'm noticing it in all TV shows and movies now if you're watching a high class movie yeah sure it's a real elevator and the door shuts but in a lot of cheesy TV shows especially from the 90s 2000s a character will say something like you haven't heard the last from me I'll be back and when I am back you'll all wish you were dead and he'll step onto an elevator and there'll be dramatic music and the doors shut and I know that the actor is now just standing in a box oh it just shut the door yeah does anyone else think about this let's just get ruined Star Trek for me all those 60 Star Treks where I just know that Kirk is like we've got to get to the transporter room immediately let's go and he and Spock Rush In And the door is shut and I know that there's two guys getting union pay to move the doors shut why do you have to think this and now they're standing in there until someone else cut just don't don't see it it's too late stop thinking I have the potential if I spread this idea that whenever you're watching a TV show and someone gets on an elevator and says a dramatic line and the door's closed or it gets off an elevator I'm sorry it's going to take you out of the TV show it's going to ruin it for you it's an elevator and there's two guys on either side that are closing a door and then they're eating a sandwich afterwards and saying hey did you hear the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor well how do you feel about that it's like scenes that are shot in airplanes and submarines and stuff that aren't cars or cars yeah oh first of all it's just the idea that they get in a it's so yeah embarrassing that they have to get in a box and say something like I'm going now up to the top floor the very top and when I get there all your careers will be ruined door slide shut actor stays in trapped box until two Union guys stage hands opened the box an actor has to come back out and see all the people he just told off you guys both suck no you suck you no you suck come back Hey listen to this you suck oh good one I won yeah well I'd like to try one yeah you try you suck yeah hey wait a minute you're pretty good you both are ruining summer and you're ruining elevators what are you happy about what do you guys like what do you like Santa why did you say it like that Santa Claus what are you Hans Gruber and like Santa Claus Santa Claus I don't like this okay okay you've made your point yeah but I think the bigger point is when an actor gets in an elevator okay now it gets out of an elevator you ruined something I'm not gonna ruin that there'd be a screener and all those years before we knew you Matt and I was doing the late night shows all those years it sort of worked for me they would set up a screening for a movie every time we'd go and see a movie when it was over someone would say I loved it and I would say you know because we saw everything you'd see everything and we saw some really great movies and we saw some movies that uh even the actor and who's the star of it would come on the show and the commercial break it going yeah I know not so good but what are you gonna do and I go I thought it was pretty good no come on let's face it every time someone would go someone directed it hundreds of people like swept up the set and built it that's exciting and that's good for them sometimes we would watch a terrible movie and you would get mad at me I'd go like I don't know that movie doesn't make any sense I mean they introduced the character of the brother in the second act and then he completely disappears and then he's a walrus in the end and they never explain you'd go they made it [Music] can we just all agree and I think we can all agree that summer goes by too quickly yeah okay yes no it doesn't and but the main point that I think we all agree on nope is that nope when an actor gets on an elevator or it gets off an elevator they're getting into a box that's going nowhere and to me that is a metaphor for the political state of America today oh my God we're a box going nowhere no let's just enjoy things just enjoy something yeah Santa Claus Here Comes Santa Claus I think everything I enjoy able people make things and we that's good for them yep good for them good for them all right let's get this show on the road shall we yeah hated a lot of good stuff too settle down yeah and you're like like the third act hmm you're the worst they're the worst to watch movies with all right I didn't mean that you're actually really fun to watch movies with you were really cool about it anytime an actor gets on an elevator they're getting in a box here we go
