Hi, my name is Mike Berbiglia and I feel terrified about being Conan O'Brien's friend.

0:30.0

I can tell that we are going to meet friends.

0:34.0

Hello there and welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast where I use whatever power I have left in show business to make people,

0:44.6

literally make people that I admire be my friends joined as always by my compatriots, my assistant,

0:52.2

sona, move sesian. Yes, am I saying that correctly? Move sesian? Yeah, I'm hoping after 12 years you've learned how to pronounce my name.

1:01.4

Conan. It's move sesian. I believe move sesian. Yeah, why are you saying you believe?

1:06.6

But that's not your real first name, is it? No, we've talked about this. It's Talline. Thanks for reminding me.

1:12.6

And yeah, that's not my real name, but it's my middle name. Well, Conan is not my real first name. So there you go.

1:19.0

2:17.6

And he goes, no, it's girly. And he they were right all along, all those bastards in elementary school.

2:22.8

Yeah. And you know what? Even if it wasn't, the Irish would love to tell you it was Gourley.

2:27.0

Oh, maybe that's what they're doing. They're just they love to take the piss out of you.

2:33.0

I'm back and I have a few extra things to say. What? What happened? A few extra things to say.

2:39.8

How did he get back in here? I hated this experience. How did he get back in?
