Taylor Tomlinson & Conan Are Workaholics | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

when you say you're a workaholic let's let's let's unpack that for a second I didn't know we were gonna well I know I'm just I'm just I wish I hadn't said it no but I'm just curious sort of just a light thing I said a light get let's get it but you really like to work yes and uh and that is to me you could say sometimes uh I don't know one of the one of the hacks in Life or one of the tricks is you take something about yourself that could be a problem but if you you can tame it and use it in just the right amount it's fantastic yeah and so I like to work yeah and there's so many different types of way to St in entertainment so anytime you're like oh I have time off you're like I can go right over here in this place right like it's that's what's so fun to me is like I had uh last weekend off and I was like oh hell yeah I finally have some time off from the show I'm going to go write standup for 4 hours at a coffee shop and that felt like rest to me which it's not it's still wor I know sona's looking at me like I'm crazy no no not it's just that's not who I am yeah's like son's like do they have quasons the ones with chocolate well like not being productive isn't restful for me yeah I think is what it is so you're like well why would I why would I do nothing when I'm not going to enjoy it fully like I got right after I got the the after midnight job I got mono and I was sick for like two months and I had to like film the special in the first two weeks but then once the special was filmed I had like a few weeks where I was just doing nothing and me and my writing partner like finished a script in that time because I was like I have I have three good hours in the middle of the day and we can get on Zoom so I'll wake up at noon and then we can hop on from like 1: to 3:00 and then I go back to bed at 4:00 and we got a lot done and it was really yeah and it's awesome and I felt great about it but if IID just been laying there healing sucks just got closer to death nothing to show for it you just totally you just totally insulted your own immune system your immune system's like wait a minute what whatever oh everybody's like you know some people get over it in like 3 weeks I'm like yeah if they stay down I guess but I had stuff to do yeah if you drink liquids I haven't had a liquid in six six months uh yeah I just I I I think I think it's really like I I know when I'm having productive relaxation if I'm traveling or if I'm doing something fun and really enjoying myself or out to a great dinner I know I'm not working but I also know in some way this is feeding me and then there's this myth of hey chill yeah don't work chill and and I don't know I've never been able to chill I don't know how to chill I have terrible news it's not a myth it works for some people people does it really it really does I've I've seen it happen some people you seen people actually chill yeah I've seen people spend a whole day reading and I'm like what with the two chill chimps we're we're real chill both of us I think you're chill I'm sup ad suspicious of you Matt I don't think I'm half and half I need to work for a few hours to feel like I've earned it but then once I've done that I feel like oh I've earned this I could chill I think the exception is Sona who does not need to work hard it's actually you know what you're saying that in a way where you like I feel like you're trying to insult me no I'm describing you to the police that's anate descri on the way in today son I was thinking about just how much has changed over the years you know when I was a kid we were all dancing the Jitterbug and the Watusi and then you grow up now and there's MH pits and everything's gone cuckoo there's this new thing called rap I don't know what's happening anymore but guess what in a world full of change there's one thing that hasn't changed the Great Taste of Miller Light are you with me on this oh yeah I'm right there with you but back in 1975 the big debate in America was what's more important that it it's less feeling millerite or it tastes great yeah it's all we talked about back then it's all I remember reading about in history books about 1975 yeah less less feeling no taste great no taste great no less feeling the cool thing is when we all realized it's both okay you don't have to choose what's best smiller light has great taste and it's less filling tastes like Miller time to get Miller Light delivered right to your door visit millerlite.com Conan or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer celebrate responsibly Miller Brewing Company Milwaukee Wisconsin 96 calories per 12 ounces fewer cows and carbs than premium regular beer when when you say you do a show all week and then you do standup it just boggles my mind I mean it's amazing well deps stamina that is I mean doing Largo is different than like traveling somewhere you know like Largo is like oh this is so nice and relaxing and there's a comedy oh my God yeah I was talking to flanny about you actually because he was saying he's like you never know what's going to happen with the show he's like I bought this place when I was 30 and I thought maybe I'd only do it for five years and here we are 30 years later he's like Conan told me he thought he was going to be out of the business you know in a few years and I was like okay he's like yeah so you never know and we'll see and like yeah I mean fenny has no right talking about me that was rude yeah I mean don't you think that's sort of uh yeah no no the guy that run know con flanny yeah he does not I don't know any flanny flanny's this uh he runs Largo which is really one of the best live venues in Los Angeles and I only say that because this podcast goes out to other other Realms but it is every comedian's favorite room to be in sometimes it can almost give you a deceptive read yeah because you can go to Largo and sometimes I feel like I you know can read out of the phone book and you'll get some really solid laughs and you'll think this phone book thing's killer I'm taking this out on the road and then you get killed yeah well that's the problem with Once people come to see you on purpose you're like is this do you really like so you have to kind of adjust your expectations see you on purpose I love that yeah see you on oh I was people were tricked into watching me do standup for years they're like we came for chicken fingers and a male comedian we had no idea we were just finishing a day at the mall how dare you bamboozle us Funny Bone there's so many times I said to my wife let's go out for chicken fingers and a male comedian and then you know yeah Lori kill Martin would come out and go what the what's a lady doing up there and this doesn't taste like chicken and I was like a child on top of it so I look I saw the disappointment on people's faces uh which is why getting on your show was so huge because it you know it helped me headline places and it helped me to have a like solid clip like it wasn't like it is now where everyone has a camera like getting a late night clip was something that really made people go oh you're a real comic and people might come see you on the road just because you done Conan and like all right well Conan L her on for five minutes we'll see like that was that was the type of person who was coming to see me for years well you talk about these different eras uh to sound like an old man I came from an era where when I debuted in 1993 there's no internet there's you know uh there's no streaming there's maybe yeah there's four networks there's no teleprompters yeah there's no t no teleprompters they were steam powered they weren't good they exploded all the time someone on a bike behind someone's pedling it welcome to the show I have speed it up there myON I'm trying shoveling coal into but when you talk about people seeing you on purpose there was a solid I don't know I want to say two three years there where it was on and there wasn't much else to do at 12:30 at night so today there's a billion things you can watch and I was part of this era where people would come up to me on the street and say you know I didn't want to watch you I'm they wouldn't say that exactly but it was clear that was not the plan I didn't want to do that but I can develop this rash they gave me a medication and the cream has to be applied and so I had to get up at 12:30 and reapply the cream I turn on the TV and you're there I didn't like it but after nine days and nine cream applying I was like you know what he's got something and I thought oh my God I mean I literally so many new moms with newborns would say to me this is back in the early 90s you know I'm a huge fan I would have to get up and breastfeed and you were on you know I watched it for four solid weeks and you didn't I I didn't get it but now I love you and I would think that wouldn't happen today you're not you're not for I mean people America was forced to put up with my for a number of years they had no choice and then they were like all right I guess the hair can stay America was like this is the guy
