Sometimes I say I'm gonna talk about something exciting and it's just not. I've pretty much lied to our listeners, but I think this is exciting. Recently we celebrated our five year anniversary of doing the podcast by releasing a vinyl album. And it has really cool artwork and it was fun to make. And it's called Conan O'Brien was fun to make and it's called

Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, Quinqueniel Celebration Vinyl. And the reason I'm bringing this up is we released it not that long ago and it immediately sold out. And so we've decided to make a second pressing. It's a limited edition vinyl album and it's of course presented curated by myself, Sona and Matt in celebration of our podcast fifth anniversary. We curated it. Yeah and this one, the vinyl, is orange. This is a limited edition orange. So let's just say you, I'm gonna flash forward, like 15, 20 years, maybe 50 years. And the listener right now has one of these

and goes in and says, hey, I've got this, Cone O'Brien Needs a Friend, Fifth Celebration vinyl, and the old guy, maybe it's one of those shows, like Antique Roadshow or whatever, Pond Stars, and they say, oh yeah, that album, yeah, that was quite a podcast back in the day. One of the big ones. And I was like, yeah, yeah, so anyway, I've got that.

And so I am guessing you just got the old regular vinyl, black vinyl. Well, actually, no, sir. My grandfather bought this, because he was a Conan fan. I've since listened, I don't get it. But anyway, it's this and he pulls out and the guy's gonna go,

gosh, it's orange, you got an orange one? You got an orange quinquennial? And then he's gonna start shouting, alarms will go off. We got an orange quinquennial, a Conan orange quinquennial. And he's going to say like, do you have any idea what this is worth? Well, actually I really don't. I'm just, you know, it's not important to me.

I don't value material things. $500 million. No way. Yes, in this scenario in my mind, it's $500 million. But of course, this is about 80 years in the future. Where that's like a month's rent. Oh. I see. Also, this is the largest printing we've done

and it's the second. So the first printing was less. Yeah, you were shitting on the black one, but the black one is more valuable because there was only a limited quantity. This one's a special color. Let me try it again. Yeah.

You probably got that crappy orange one. No, no, no, no. No, that's too far? Don't shit on the orange, because that's the one we're trying to. Okay, how about this, how about this, how about this? Well, if you got the orange one, that's gonna be worth a lot.

Yeah, okay, good. But if you got the initial black pressing, well, that'd be worth even more. Is that right? Yeah. Close. But also in this scenario, originally you said, oh, 15 years in the future. I can't imagine adding more time.

And you changed it to 80. No, I want it to be 80. I want it to be more like 100. Okay. Is it like post-apocalyptic? Yeah. He's gonna go, uh-oh, here come the Robotrons. Let's get out of here.

Let's put on your exo suit and go! Blblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl I will return this to the head of the Robotrons, a long time collector of vinyl. So yeah, it's a future. Well, we have a little treat here today though, just a taste. This is a taste, because boy, you must be thirsting for some Conan stupidity right now. This is a taste, you know,

because we don't play the vinyl, because then you could record it yourself and you wouldn't need us and we couldn't exploit you. So, here's a taste of an old timey ad we recorded exclusively for the vinyl, never heard before by non-vinyl owners. And you can get your vinyl at podswag.com slash Conan.

Yeah, podswag.com slash Conan. Give a listen. Hey. Yeah, podswag.com slash Conan. Give a listen. ["Dark Palmer's Asbestos Face Mask"] Hey. Already. Are you afraid of that 1917 flu that's going around?

If so, you want Dark Palmer's Asbestos Face Mask. Asbestos, the numerical cloth that's been proven to destroy all infectious vapors. Yes, of course, many people say that asbestos has not been tested for long-term health effects. But take it from old Doc Palmer. Asbestos is the best cloth to have wrapped around your mouth.

Available at any five and dime. In your vicinity, just jump on the old large wheeled bicycle, wax up your stash, and get down to Doc Palmer's. Hi, Doc Palmer. Oh, hello there. What you wish. It's Johnny Umblod here, just wondering if your Doc Palmer face masks are safe for kids.

Of course they're safe! There's nothing safer to put around your mouth than asbestos! Thanks Doc Palmer! That cough is probably not related to the mask! Everyone in this era is sickly. Get one now, one for a dime, two for three pennies. It doesn't make sense, but that's the way things were at the end of the First World War. Wait a minute, how do I know there's going to be two? That's strange. Well, so it goes. Toodly-doodly-doozy.

Use code Conan on your computerizing machine. The machine will be invented in about 80 years. Until then, try it on an abacus, you motherfucker! Ha ha ha ha! Music
