Hey, Conan O'Brien needs a friend listeners. We have an episode of the show coming for you, a brand new one as usual this Monday, but I've got something a little special for you in the feed today. It's a preview of a new podcast out now from Ear Wolf and Team Coco called Inside Conan, an important Hollywood podcast. Yes, you heard that correctly. A podcast that is all about the goings on at Conan, the show, not me the person, but the show, which is basically me the person because I host the show.

Inside Conan is hosted by Conan writer, producers Mike Sweeney, Jesse Gaskell. Here's why I believe this is an important podcast. These two are brutally, brutally honest with me in my everyday life. They can be quite cruel. They're very funny and they're going to take you behind the scenes here, discuss their favorite bits of the week on the Conan show and also I'm certain talk at length about things they thought were hilariously bad and probably tell you things about me and foibles that I have that are humiliating.

They're going to have exclusive interviews with Conan guests and just in general, if you like it all, what it is I do, you find it at all interesting, but you want to see the real sickness behind it all, Mike Sweeney and Jesse Gaskell are going to give up the goods. So it might be worth your time. Look up Inside Conan in your podcast app. You have it open right now, I'm assuming. You really should.

The first episode is right there for you to hear, subscribe, so you do not miss an episode. So right now, enjoy this preview of Inside Conan. You'll see the next episode of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend on Monday as usual. Now, my copy said you'll see it, but that's stupid. You'll hear it. So I'm going to find the person who wrote See It and burn them to the ground and that's the kind of cruelty and arbitrary insanity that you'll hear more about from Mike Sweeney and Jesse Gaskell in Inside Conan, an important Hollywood podcast.

Hi, I'm Mike Sweeney. And I'm Jesse Gaskell. We're both writers and producers here at Conan. And every week, we're going to take you behind the orange curtain to tell you what it's really like to work here on the show. You know, in many ways, we have a very regular office life here. And we're going to tell you about all our petty office dramas. Dirty dishes left in the sink.

People complaining about, oh, this isn't the right almond milk. Yeah. The only difference is it's because the almond milk belongs to Tom Hanks. So we're going to share that hot celebrity green room gossip and even play some highlights from the show this week. Not only the highlights, but we're going to tell you the salacious stories behind those highlights. Because we never signed on disclosure agreements, did we, Sweeney?

No, we didn't. In fact, I just found out we've been fired. Okay. Well, this was fun. Anyway, this is our podcast, Inside Conan. It's now called Cleaning Out Our Offices. I think Jesse and I bonded the normal way, together in Berlin in a sex dungeon while Conan was tied up in leather cuffs with the dominatrix and the leaderhosen, a dominatrix

who it's as if the TV cameras weren't there. She was ready to go. She had no boundaries. No boundaries. And we had not established a safe word. Yeah. That was a slight oversight. I was legitimately worried for Conan's orifices.

I was worried for him as well as for my job. Yeah. But we made it through. We did get through. And now we're off on a new adventure together. We're going to have unfettered access to some of the wacky characters that work here on the show, like Jordan Schlansky. We might even find out what he does for a living.

That's one of our goals. So your other outside interests are sitting. Working out. Working out. Again, if you're classifying it physically, yes, I'm sitting, but I don't even notice I'm sitting. I'm thinking. We're going to talk to executive producer Jeff Ross.

Executive producer Jeff Ross. He is usually unreachable, but we got him. We can cut through the bullshit. We can cut through the veil. We got the white whale. Smell the show and we're on a commercial break. So I go out there and I see Milton Berle and he goes, kid, I want to do a walk on. Oh, wow.

I think he literally had a cigar in his mouth. We'll talk to talent producers who deal with all of our celebrity guests. Yeah. They have to wrangle all the celebrity cats we have on the show. Yes. I think Vaniston brought her own bodyguard and somehow this person came in. She hasn't been hugged in 20 years. She hasn't been hugged in 20 years and it was very, she hated her and she didn't like

it at all. And we're going to be talking to Conan writers. Yeah. They're still talking to us. Yes. Barely. Yeah. We're also going to play for you our handpicked, artisanally chosen clips from the Conan

show. Yes. A Conan highlight show that also features a cliche, free look under the hood at the whole enchilada. Yeah, the inside scoop on how the late night sausage gets made. Mmm, sausage. Mmm. I'm getting kind of hungry, cliche hungry.
