Ken Burns

**Ken Burns** (0:03)
Hi, my name is Ken Burns, and I feel hopeful about being Conan O'Brien's friend.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:11)
Well, Ken, you shouldn't be, because this is the takedown of Ken Burns.

**Ken Burns** (0:15)
Right.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:15)
You have coasted way too long.

**Ken Burns** (0:17)
50 years of coasting.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:18)
Oh, just, oh, everybody loves their Ken Burns.

**Ken Burns** (0:21)
That's why all the henchmen are here.

**Sona Movsesian** (0:23)
Yeah, get them, boss. Get them, boss.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:25)
I have with me two people who don't read. I'm pretty sure they don't write.

**Sona Movsesian** (0:31)
We read magazines.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:33)
Yeah, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about Us Magazine. That does count as my 1990s is showing.
Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, joined by Sona Movsesian, Matt Gourley. As Audi is on paternity leave, and we wish him and his lovely family the best. God, I'm smooth. And then David Hopping joining us. How are you David?

**David Hopping** (1:15)
I'm good, how are you?

**Conan O'Brien** (1:17)
Sona, you said that you heard from your father.

**Sona Movsesian** (1:20)
Yes.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:21)
Gil.

**Sona Movsesian** (1:22)
Gil.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:22)
Was this yesterday or the other day?

**Sona Movsesian** (1:24)
This was last night, yeah.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:25)
Last night, he called you and he was unhappy. What happened?

**Sona Movsesian** (1:28)
He texted me, he was angry. He saw a clip online and he got angry about something I said. And, you know, my parents are, you know, they're traditional people.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:39)
Yeah.

**Sona Movsesian** (1:39)
And I am, I got a mouth. And why are you laughing so hard?

**Conan O'Brien** (1:45)
No, but you know what, Sona, you're a modern woman of the world. Thank you. You've been here, you've been there, you've been to Porter Square. You've been, you've seen it all. Some say you've done it all. And your father was born in a very small village.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:00)
Yes, he was.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:01)
Where was this?

**Sona Movsesian** (2:02)
This was in Turkey, what used to be Armenia. Thank you very much. But yeah, he was born in Turkey and he was in a small village, immigrated here. They're traditional people, my parents. And I say a lot of things on this podcast that are not traditional things. And so yesterday he texted me and he's like, I can't believe you talk like that on the podcast. And he said, you're a mother, you have kids. Like he went on for, and I was like, oh my God, my dad's actually upset. But I couldn't think of which clip he would have been upset about. I say jizz so many times on this podcast.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:39)
You say everything.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:39)
I talk about dicks. I talk about vaginas. I talk about like heated rivalry all the time. I couldn't, I was like telling TAC, I was like, did I, is there one thing that was egregious?

**Conan O'Brien** (2:49)
It's like saying to Santa Claus, thanks for the gift. And Santa's like, what? You know what I mean? And then he's got to think about the 55 billion gifts he's given out.
Right? But you are, yeah, you're the Santa Claus of filth. You're just constantly, it's butts, it's buns, you know, you, you love it. And so what did you say? Did you defend yourself to your dad?

**Sona Movsesian** (3:14)
No, I was just like, I really needed to figure out which thing upset him. So I said, which clip? And then he said, me, I appeared on my friend Rick's podcast.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:25)
I know Rick, yeah.

**Sona Movsesian** (3:26)
He wrote Glassman and I was on his podcast and we released a clip, not even from this one. So I'm like, clearly he never watches this podcast because otherwise he'd be really pissed. It was that podcast and I watched it.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:39)
What were you talking about?

**Sona Movsesian** (3:40)
I said the word fuck like twice. Okay, wait a minute. And my dad was upset about it.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:46)
So he can't ever listen to this podcast?

**Sona Movsesian** (3:48)
Never.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:49)
Because I saw some of you with Rick and it was very tame compared to what you do every day here.

**Sona Movsesian** (3:55)
Yes, yes.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:55)
Now let me paint a picture for the people listening. Your father is very distinguished, very handsome.

**Sona Movsesian** (4:02)
Yes.

**Conan O'Brien** (4:03)
An older gentleman.

**Sona Movsesian** (4:04)
Yes.

**Conan O'Brien** (4:04)
He's got a big white mustache.

**Sona Movsesian** (4:06)
Okay.

**Conan O'Brien** (4:06)
