Hey there, and welcome to Conan O'Brien, Needs A Friend. I am joined as always by my

trusty assistant, Sonah Moubsessian. Hello. Although your real name is Taline.

0:44.7

Taline. But you decided to go with Sonah? I didn't decide. My parents just started calling me Sonah.

0:50.0

Why would they give you one name and then just start calling you another? It's a long story,

1:50.6

like Cubs playing. When I cuff you, I'm like a giant bear tearing out a small defenseless cup.

1:57.5

I grew up in a family of polite kind people. God. Yeah. So what happened? How did you get out of there?
