Summer S’pouses Episode 2: Amanda Lund

**Amanda Lund** (0:03)
Hi, my name is Amanda Lund, and I feel you go girl about being Matt Gourley's spouse.

**Matt Gourley** (0:17)
Summer S'pouses with Conan O'Brien, Sonam Avsesian and Matt Gourley, and Eliza Powell O'Brien, Tak Baroyan, and Amanda Lund.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:30)
Amanda, we have a lot to talk about here, because I have painted a picture of Matt over the years, and there have occasionally been charges that it's not an accurate picture. I portray him as an effete, you know, fez-collecting, loot-playing, Tweed who hangs out, right, in little bespoke garage sales, right?

**Matt Gourley** (0:55)
You're just asking the wrong person if I'm looking for a defense here.

**Conan O'Brien** (0:59)
But no, but of course, I'm a caricaturist, not a... I don't paint portraits, I make obscene caricatures.
So Amanda, where have I gone wrong in describing the Matt Gourley we all know and tolerate?

**Amanda Lund** (1:12)
You're touching on so many truths. There's a lot of truth to it, but I think where you go wrong is the style aspect, because I think people are imagining him in like a little vest and like a little cap.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:24)
I know he has one, it's deep in the closet.

**Sona Movsesian** (1:28)
Do you have a vest?

**Matt Gourley** (1:29)
I have a vest as part of a suit, like a three-piece suit.

**Amanda Lund** (1:32)
But you never had just a solo vest.

**Sona Movsesian** (1:34)
Oh, like without a shirt on underneath.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:36)
So I go to-

**Matt Gourley** (1:37)
Oh, that all the time, all the time.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:40)
He worked at Chippendales. Yes, I portray him as a guy who wears like a straw bowder hat and a little bow tie that spins when he pushes a button in his pocket.

**Amanda Lund** (1:47)
And you know what, since he started working here, he won't wear a bow tie anymore.

**Conan O'Brien** (1:52)
Anymore? Okay, that's great. So I'm changing his behavior.

**Eliza Powell O'Brien** (1:56)
You and Tucker Carlson.

**Matt Gourley** (1:57)
Yeah, exactly. You're the two.

**Amanda Lund** (1:59)
And I think one time he wore a little scarf, but that was just for 24 hours.

**Matt Gourley** (2:03)
What?

**Amanda Lund** (2:03)
And then it was like a little experiment that you did for a while. So that is true. And so it is true. He loves like little hobbies.

**Sona Movsesian** (2:11)
Yeah. Like a scarf, like a flight attendant.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:15)
Yes, a 1968 Swedish flight attendant named Inga who's va-va-voom.

**Amanda Lund** (2:22)
It looked good. We were on vacation. It was like a kind of an open, relaxed linen shirt with a little scarf.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:27)
Oh my God. If you had taken a-

**Amanda Lund** (2:29)
Yes, thank you, Amanda.

**Matt Gourley** (2:30)
First of all, Amanda, thank you.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:32)
I can live off the meat on that bone for seven years.

**Matt Gourley** (2:38)
I didn't bring here to have you live for me. Yeah.

**Conan O'Brien** (2:41)
I need to sing your praises, Amanda. You are very talented and very accomplished. And I don't want to embarrass you or anything, but you have quite a list of things that you've done. You're a very successful podcaster.
You have played Disney Princesses, many different ones. Is that right? Where did it all start? Why don't you tell your story for us?

**Amanda Lund** (3:04)
Okay. And you did this motion, which like kind of short.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:10)
I want your life in three words.

**Amanda Lund** (3:12)
Okay.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:13)
No, no, no. Go for it.

**Matt Gourley** (3:14)
Expand.

**Amanda Lund** (3:14)
This is a nightmare. I did not know I was going to be like interviewed.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:18)
You didn't?

**Amanda Lund** (3:18)
No, I just thought it was more like a seat filler.

**Matt Gourley** (3:21)
Like here to-

**Conan O'Brien** (3:21)
No, Amanda, you are not a seat filler. And by the way, no. And if you think there was any planning that went behind any of us, any of this, you don't know us. Okay, okay.

**Matt Gourley** (3:31)
I'm just as surprised as you.

**Amanda Lund** (3:32)
Okay, let me just say, I'm from Long Beach, California.

**Matt Gourley** (3:36)
Okay.

**Amanda Lund** (3:38)
I worked at Disneyland. This is interesting. I played a princess when I was in high school into young adulthood. And that's where it stops.

**Matt Gourley** (3:48)
But wait-

**Amanda Lund** (3:49)
And that's where I peeked.

**Conan O'Brien** (3:51)
But this is fascinating to me because I remember clearly my wife and I taking Nev to, I think we took her to Disneyland and the princesses were there. And to this day, I haven't seen my daughter that excited. I mean, she's excited about a lot of things, but it's a kind of, they're meeting real royalty. These, it was, she was-
