0:00.0	Hi, my name is Ellie Kemper, and I feel thrilled about being Conan O'Brien's friend.
0:30.0	Hello and welcome to Conan O'Brien needs a friend. I am the aforementioned Conan O'Brien,
0:38.8	here with two of my quote friends. I'll put them in quotes. Sonoma of Sessia, nice to see you,
0:42.4	Sonoma. Why are we quote friends? Well, you know, it gives me a level of security knowing that it
0:48.8	could go either way. And we got Matt Gourley in Da House with us. How are you, Matt? Quote, hello.
0:55.2	Yes, quote, hello. How are you guys? Pretty good. Okay, you said in Da House, like DA. Yeah,
1:02.9	it's not. I need to constantly show that I have street cred because everything about me screams no
1:08.8	street cred. But that street cred from about 25 years ago. It doesn't matter to me. Okay.
1:13.4	Yeah, he still raises the roof. I still raise the roof. Eric Abraun, who works at the show,

2:07.4	You're really cool. You're a really cool guy. You don't think I'm cool at all, do you?
2:12.8	I think you could be cool. I think you try to be cool. And then you stop yourself from being cool.
2:17.6	I don't want to be cool. No one wants me. And also, you know what? No one wants me to be cool.
2:21.8	That's the other thing. They just don't want it. Let's give it a shot. What if you sincerely
