**Danny McBride** (1:03)
Hi, my name is Danny McBride, and I feel thrilling about being Conan O'Brien's friend.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:13)
Wait, thrilling, you feel thrilling?

**Sona Movsesian** (1:15)
Thrilling, not thrilled to be here.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:16)
Actually, it's so cool, the way you said it has nothing to do with me.

**Matt Gourley** (1:19)
It sounds to me like plausible deniability about it.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:22)
Yes, yes.
Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. It's not just me that does this podcast. I am the beneficiary of having very strong, powerful, independent voices joining me. One of those is Sona Movsesian. Hello, Sona.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:58)
Hi, hello.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:59)
And how can I welcome you when you already are welcome, and you are an integral part of this whole-

**SPEAKER_7** (2:06)
What are you doing?

**Conan O'Brien** (2:07)
Matt Gourley, good to see you as well. And I thank you for your service. No one gets there alone. So here we are together on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.
And I am-

**Sona Movsesian** (2:18)
I'm sorry, who are you?

**Conan O'Brien** (2:19)
My name is Conan O'Brien.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:20)
No, you're not.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:20)
And I'm someone who's just filled with gratitude. Glad to be here.

**Matt Gourley** (2:24)
Have you been body snatched?

**Conan O'Brien** (2:26)
I was body snatched. I was very tired last night, and I fell asleep next to a strange new plant I found.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:33)
Oh, no.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:33)
When I woke up this morning, there was a decayed, beady-eyed carcass next to me. And then my body felt refreshed and new.

**Matt Gourley** (2:40)
I like this, whatever it is. I do too.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:41)
If you ever got body snatched, I feel like we'd all know like right away. And it would just be you being nice to us.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:47)
Yeah, yeah.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:48)
Or not doing bits, just being normal. That's right.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:51)
That's how you would know. I would just be, hello, Sona, how are you? And how's your family?

**Matt Gourley** (2:55)
And you'd be interested in the answer and you would wait for a response.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:58)
You know, it'd be funny, the minute I, if there were body snatchers out there, if I came in and all I would have to do is say, hi, Sona, how are you? And you would shoot me in the head with a shotgun.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:08)
Yes, yes, I would.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:10)
And you'd be right.

**Sona Movsesian** (3:11)
Yes, I would, 100%. I would know immediately.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:14)
I remember there was an episode of The Simpsons back in my time where I think it was one of the Halloween episodes. There are zombies that are taking over Springfield and Homer's shooting zombies left and right. And then Flanders pops up in a window and Homer shoots his head off. And someone says, how did you know that he was a zombie? And he went, he was a zombie?
I just always love that joke that he blew Flanders' head off. Not even thinking about him being a zombie or not. You shot zombie Flanders. Flanders was a zombie? Anyway, no, I just wanted to give credit where credit's due. And I think this is a village.

**Matt Gourley** (3:55)
He's still going.

**Sona Movsesian** (3:56)
I know, it's really unsettling.

**Matt Gourley** (3:58)
What have you done with going?

**Conan O'Brien** (4:00)
I want to talk about something, which is I always have ink on my hands. I don't know if that comes up on the podcast, but I write a lot with pens and I'm constantly doodling and I always have a pen in my hand. And I'm constantly writing notes in a journal or on a scrap of paper.
