We just got the list from my son's class for Valentines cards and there's a kid named Conan in his class! My first thought after seeing that was how can I become friends with those parents?! Clearly they're people of fine taste.
I remember when UCSD’s sixth college was named Conan O’Brien College for a day and he visited our campus back in 2012!! That was a highlight. Wish it was permanently named after him. 😂
Deborah Foreman - a fellow Montebello, CA celebrity like Sona, was more known by a past generation as the eponymous lead character of Valley Girl, as the target of affections of a young Nicholas Cage. That movie was very impactful to me as a high school teenager - a little bit for the story, a lot more for the hit soundtrack! "I'll stop the world and melt with you......" Foreman also had a role in Real Genius, an early movie for Val Kilmer, where she had a great dialogue with Kilmer's character: Kilmer: "If there's ever anything I can do for you. Or - more to the point - to you, you let me know, OK?" Foreman: "Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?" Kilmer: "Not right now, no" Foreman: "Sorry, a girl's gotta have her standards...." 😂
I love Conan! And Sona is so great she is my favorite, almost more than Conan maybe. Just really made me happy to see they made her a part of the show. So great!
It probably isn't hard to get a library named after you. Can you build a library and take care of property tax indefinitely? Also, can you not put a computer lab in it.
Hahahah this was awesome why is this the first notification I’m getting. The 3 of them have a really refreshing dynamic that is genuinely funny! Keep these going Conan
If Sona was adding a hard 'g' at the end of "wing" in this ep, the mics were definitely not picking it up. It kinda demonstrates how Conan's antagonizing of her is routine to a point where she doesn't even consider the possibility that she may not have even done what she was accused of, and immediately goes into defence mode out of reflex. I never get tired of their childish sibling energy 🥰
Would you please make a movie already? It would be very funny. The title could be "Sonan almighty" or "Conan has a friend" or "These two". IF at least for a half of the movie Conan and Sona will argue like this it would be a great comedy.
I think Conan should have a chain of nik-nak stores named after him and they sell completely useless items. “O’Brien’s Nik-Naks, we’re in every state and we’ll sell stuff you don’t need and you’ll be happy for it!” ….. Timothy Olyphant could be the official spokesperson for the stores! 😂
I don't know how to reach to conan but I just want someone maybe Aaron to tell conan to do that depression era voice he used to do maybe as a kid selling apple or something... It was one of the best characters of conan... I can laugh just thinking about it. ❤️🇮🇳
The playground at O'Brien School will have a lanky life-sized bronze of Conan leaning on the fence looking in at the children with a plaque that reads 'Now I've got a kid in the park'
a library made of sticks and straws with a enter at ur own risk but hey man its has everything and what really made me laugh was sona can i have a wing conan NOOOOOOOO lol
I love low budget genre films & B-movies of the 70s, 80s and 90s so Kim Lankford, Deborah Foreman, and Michelle Bauer are familiar names -- so Montebello representing correctly. Also, pretty sure Lankford was well known for Knots Landing. She had that dope Stephanie Powers/Jacqueline Bisset thing going on for her back in the day.
A friend of mine, their family's last name is the same as a deadly disease, and because of it, they changed it. Altered it, so its spelled differently. Some of their kin, have other last names, that they changed it to. To distance themselves, from that name. BTW,...it is not (cancer).
singer, ringer, anger, linger, finger, ginger, engine, man-gina - it just varies. I had a girlfriend who was raised in Brooklyn and she pronounced ringer with a hard 'g' - I thought it was charming.
From a linguistic point of view, Sona's pronunciation of "wing" lacks the sound [ŋ]. This voiced velar nasal, also known as agma, is what English speakers commonly use when they pronounce the present continous form "-ing". It is also the sound of "ng" in English sing ... and in wing. While there is a "g" in the written form of the word, it is not pronounced as [g], which is a voiced velar plosive. My best guess is that the agma sound does not exist in Armenian, Sona's mother tongue. Therefore, she substitutes a closely related sound.
Turns out there are two significant people named Gina Rodriguez from Montebello. One is a 54 year-old death-row inmate, and the other is a 55 year-old actress; neither of them were in Jane the Virgin. 😂
Hate to poop the party, but Deinococcus radiodurans has been nicknamed Conan the Bacterium after Conan the Barbarian for its toughness. Not because it's pale (it's not). Also, CORRECTION: when using the singular it's 'bacterium' - 'bacteria' is the plural. Oh, wait, 'Corrections' is for the other guy...
If Sona had a building named after her... it'd probably be a dispensary. 100% she would be ok with it.
One more like to 200
I'm in love with her 😍
@spencer wayne Yeah... stealing my heart
She only wants a wing. A wing in a dispensary. Perfection!
Maybe name the jail after her because of all the stealing.
Conan’s laughter is infectious. It spreads just like a disease.
After watching Conan, people tell me I suddenly look skinny, pale, and somehow taller. He really is contagious
That's the Bacteria
Could easily be the next joker
Almost like ... a ... bacteria.
Stoooppp😂
Conan knows exactly how to bug sona lol
@BrokenGlassShimmerLikeStarDust she also says tacos in a funny way as well
bug-uh
it's true that ever since I heard Conan nitpicking her accent I couldn't unhear it. she does the hard g
The fact that *that* got under her skin (whether she was being playful about it or not) is hilarious
Lol
I would bet money that there's no podcast in existence that so consistently goes off the rails as this one. So fun:)
I love how Conan and Matt have notes and Sona is just riffing.
Lmao its so on brand , and clearly its working for her, im so jealous lol
@Jesse Cohen Yeah what a slack-off! She's made a career of slacking off!
she's secretly the true wit in the group
Sona’s responses are so hilarious
the 3-legged bench named after Sona is so that when Conan tries to sit on it, she'll let him down one more time
Conan The Librarian 🤓
Coming to the TNT network in the fall.
You win
We just got the list from my son's class for Valentines cards and there's a kid named Conan in his class! My first thought after seeing that was how can I become friends with those parents?! Clearly they're people of fine taste.
@Ally B I truly hope they were named after this Conan and that you all vibe and get to be friends!
@H A Bracken Ha! Like anyone would name a kid after that chump! The kid was definitely named after this Conan. 100%
But what if they just really like Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian
That Conan laugh at 7:52 is incredible
Conan actually defending Sona in this one, “you’re bigger than all these people!”
Sona and Conan being so different just makes it all funnier
Despite the incredibly relatable look of doubt and faint disgust on Sona's face, she is, in fact, a celebrity.
I am nothing without this podcast. God bless you all.
Also - Matt, your salt & pepper facial hair.....c'est magnifique.
When Conan says "winga" Sona gets pissed. When Gourley says it, she's ok with it. 🤣🤣🤣

😂
Let’s not forget Conan’s insistent bullying of Aaron Bleyaert 😂😂
Conan O'Brien Center for Malformed Children
Also Conan's right, there's no place more fun than a library.
Conan made us cry, not what we expected or be prepared for. Love u Big Brother
I love Conan! And Sona is so great she is my favorite, almost more than Conan maybe. Just really made me happy to see they made her a part of the show. So great!
That only speaks to Conan's greatness for sharing the limelight with his assisstant. Not a lot of celebrities are willing to do that.
This was very wholesome.
I had a president from my city and hearing Sona say it’s cool gives me gratification 😂 💪 I worked hard to be born here
It probably isn't hard to get a library named after you. Can you build a library and take care of property tax indefinitely? Also, can you not put a computer lab in it.
How amazing would it be to see Conan and his SIBLINGS on here too!
Sona... You are definitely, certainly, totally, 100% a celebrity.
Conan is well known for being resilient to radiation, like the sun
In its original Gaelic form, Conán means "little wolf". So Conan might have a point, for once. Not a bad name for a bacterial descript.
Hahahah this was awesome why is this the first notification I’m getting. The 3 of them have a really refreshing dynamic that is genuinely funny! Keep these going Conan
I have to say, IM IN LOVE with Sona Movsesian
I love these three together.
If Sona was adding a hard 'g' at the end of "wing" in this ep, the mics were definitely not picking it up. It kinda demonstrates how Conan's antagonizing of her is routine to a point where she doesn't even consider the possibility that she may not have even done what she was accused of, and immediately goes into defence mode out of reflex. I never get tired of their childish sibling energy 🥰
They went from a building to a park bench lol😂
I'm also from Montebello and have been a Conan fan for like 20 years. Hearing him talk about my small little hometown is so surreal lol
Would you please make a movie already? It would be very funny. The title could be "Sonan almighty" or "Conan has a friend" or "These two". IF at least for a half of the movie Conan and Sona will argue like this it would be a great comedy.
I’d pay good money for the opportunity to sit in on the podcasts. Just sit in the corner and listen. 😂
I think Conan should have a chain of nik-nak stores named after him and they sell completely useless items. “O’Brien’s Nik-Naks, we’re in every state and we’ll sell stuff you don’t need and you’ll be happy for it!” ….. Timothy Olyphant could be the official spokesperson for the stores!
😂
I love that idea, they would really run with it!
Sona is officially a celebrity. 😃👍
Go for a library! You can add a creative lab with a studio for podcasting!
Conan O'Brien School's motto would be "it builds character".
4:23 Anyone else Conan sneakily changing "cheers" to "jeers" when 'praising' Sona?
Movsesian REALLY sounds like a building though (obviously because of the museum which actual name I can't remember)
Good clean fun,....Great topic. Another mellow voiced, laugh riot. Thanks for the chuckles & funny banter.
I love seeing them upload new videos ❤️
Sona does not use hard g’s at all - Conan’s just winding her up 😅
I don't know how to reach to conan but I just want someone maybe Aaron to tell conan to do that depression era voice he used to do maybe as a kid selling apple or something... It was one of the best characters of conan... I can laugh just thinking about it. ❤️🇮🇳
I love when Conan does JFK
All are invited to the grand opening of the Conan O'Brien Academy for Bullied Children (the bullies are brought in from Dorchester).
that inbred joke, Conan took it like a champ....
When Conan whispers "Conan O'Brien's Library" it makes me think of Michael Jackson's Children's Hospital. If you know you know.
Just make sure that the library is topped by a gigantic, wave inspired scarlet crown.
The playground at O'Brien School will have a lanky life-sized bronze of Conan leaning on the fence looking in at the children with a plaque that reads 'Now I've got a kid in the park'
I agree, Sona is a celebrity by association
How about a "Conan O'Brien" arcade, where all the kids play video games all day. I think that's about Conan's speed.
Can’t wait to send my children to Conan O’Brien’s School for the Bullied
Hey Sona who would you get play you & Conan if and when Netflix make a series out of your book?
The Conan Library should be next to the Sona Dispensary/Taco Bell.
"threw me under the white-man bus" lmaooo
Remember when David Letterman wanted a road in Indianapolis called the "David Letterman Bypass?" I'd like a "Conan Road" or something like that.
When I have kids, I want to send them to the Conan O'Brien Elementary School!
I can't believe Gourley just called him children "Only half inbred". He really needs to look both ways for conan when crossing the street.
Love this!
a library made of sticks and straws with a enter at ur own risk but hey man its has everything and what really made me laugh was sona can i have a wing conan NOOOOOOOO lol
Will there be 📚 's in the Conan O'Brian library 🤔?? Might need to change it to a book museum!! 😳😳😳
There should be a rolling paper named after Cone Zee, the “Cone’n”
the "Bully School" plot sounds like an awesome season 4 episode from The Simpsons ...
Never understood Conan’s fascination with Sona?
Miss the Conan show !!!
It'd be great if Oscar de la Hoya and Edward James Olmos (both from Montebello) said "yeah, name it after Sona. We can't compete with that resume."
I just heard 'wing'. I'm with Sona.
best part is it says Larry Bird is from Brookline. Conan beat RFK, teddy and Mike wallace though
Is there a tactful way to say that Sona looks hot because of... well you know why. Two reasons.
Conan the bacteria is one of my fav movies

Also, pretty sure Lankford was well known for Knots Landing. She had that dope Stephanie Powers/Jacqueline Bisset thing going on for her back in the day.
Wasn't the bacteria named for "Conan the Barbarian"? Surprised Gorley didn't mention that.
Don't hold your breathe Sona, Bobby Lee's high school still doesn't have him as celebrities who attended school there. Ha ha.
Number two behind jfk for his city?! I mean comon! That’s awesome
Yeah you’d think he’d be third after Bobby Kennedy
! got ya beat Matt, my family has been here At least 14,000 years🤣🤣
This pod is soo much better w Sona and Matt...
That was a great JFK impression.
A friend of mine, their family's last name is the same as a deadly disease, and because of it, they changed it. Altered it, so its spelled differently. Some of their kin, have other last names, that they changed it to. To distance themselves, from that name. BTW,...it is not (cancer).
I visited The Kennedy Library and that place is fantastic. Sorry Conan, your building will always be number 2.
Sona Movsesian High.
It’s not just a school, it’s a statement.
Conan is like herpies! Keeps coming back!
@ᴛᴇᴀᴍ ᴄᴏᴄᴏ GFY.
singer, ringer, anger, linger, finger, ginger, engine, man-gina - it just varies. I had a girlfriend who was raised in Brooklyn and she pronounced ringer with a hard 'g' - I thought it was charming.
Whats more fun then a library? Its where I escaped the bullies.
Tom Brady also lived in Brookline, a very tony town, not exactly hardscrabble.
I need a country named after me
So much better than the T. Olyphant episode...it's heart warming
Nah great for different reasons
Damn. You don't like Olyphant?
Conan is shaking like crazy
Jesus christ the Sirhan Sirhan joke caught me off guard. I was just reading about the assassination too.
Unremarkable fact: Sirhan Sirhan grew up in the ‘Denas where Sona and Matt both currently live.
From a linguistic point of view, Sona's pronunciation of "wing" lacks the sound [ŋ]. This voiced velar nasal, also known as agma, is what English speakers commonly use when they pronounce the present continous form "-ing". It is also the sound of "ng" in English sing ... and in wing.

My best guess is that the agma sound does not exist in Armenian, Sona's mother tongue. Therefore, she substitutes a closely related sound.
Conan's ahead of Robert Kraft and Robert Kennedy...and Larry Bird
Turns out there are two significant people named Gina Rodriguez from Montebello. One is a 54 year-old death-row inmate, and the other is a 55 year-old actress; neither of them were in Jane the Virgin. 😂
Has anyone noticed how Paul McCartney says "ing" like Sona does but his G's are way harder?
Sona HIGHschool would be fitting 🤣
Hate to poop the party, but Deinococcus radiodurans has been nicknamed Conan the Bacterium after Conan the Barbarian for its toughness. Not because it's pale (it's not). Also, CORRECTION: when using the singular it's 'bacterium' - 'bacteria' is the plural.
Oh, wait, 'Corrections' is for the other guy...
At the moment I was watching this Sona moved up the list to 6th of Celebrities from Montebello
Sona should get a winga! That what I’m thinkinga
Whole CoVid saga has made people insane
