Hey guys, Conan here to tell
0:02
you about a brand new Team
0:04
Coco podcast. It's called Where Everybody
0:06
Knows Your Name with Ted Danson
0:09
and Woody Harrelson sometimes. Woody's
0:11
not always there, but he's there a lot.
0:13
It's a really fun time where Ted and
0:15
Woody are reunited more than 30 years after
0:17
their first time together on Cheers. You'll
0:20
hear some great guests on the show like
0:22
Will Arnett, Jane Fonda, Chef
0:24
Jose Andres, Kristen
0:26
Bell, even me. Yes,
0:28
that's right. I got to join the
0:31
guys for an episode, which we recorded
0:33
on the rooftop of the Team Coco
0:35
office. The full episode is out now.
0:38
Here's a short clip. Let me
0:40
pick your brain about podcasts. Woody
0:43
and I being new at this. Do
0:45
you sit there and think, wait, Mike, I
0:47
don't want my kids to hear me be
0:50
this way tell this story. Do you or
0:52
my mom and my dad, do you censor
0:54
yourself? Not really. I don't, and
0:57
I'll tell you, and this is going to sound like a joke, but
0:59
it's not. My children have no interest
1:03
in listening to my podcast and I
1:05
take that as a healthy sign. So
1:07
they will never hear this because
1:09
they care about themselves and their
1:12
lives. And I am a
1:14
figure, you know, like a sitcom dad is
1:16
always a figure of ridicule. I am
1:18
a sitcom dad. When I go home, they're
1:21
not interested. I'll say something
1:23
and there's a lot of eye rolling in.
1:25
Yeah, dad, that's what it's called a gif.
1:27
No, it's gif, you know, whatever. I'm
1:30
the idiot. There's a laugh track. And
1:34
my parents they
1:37
don't consume podcasts at their age. And
1:41
so, so you can say what
1:43
you want. Yeah. I mean, it's
1:46
about spelling, but no, I feel
1:48
badly about that. He made some
1:50
good shows and
1:56
then some other shows, you know, but whatever you just a
1:58
good man. And what am I to say things? What do
2:00
you do when you have a guest that's
2:03
like pulling teeth? Because this has
2:05
been a real challenge today for me and William,
2:07
to be honest. I know. This
2:09
is the most taxing challenge I am
2:11
withholding. Oh, my God. What
2:13
do you do with people, though? Seriously?
2:17
I just start... It's so funny because we would...
2:20
I learned this from years and years of doing the late night show.
2:23
It hasn't really happened on the podcast because on
2:25
the podcast, you don't make as many. The
2:28
real challenge was to do a late night show and
2:30
I did end up doing whatever it is, 4,000
2:33
hours of broadcasting, three guests a
2:35
night. Sometimes
2:38
not even music, sometimes three talk guests a night. You
2:40
do the math and you realize there were so many
2:42
times I was out there with the
2:45
seventh lead on a
2:47
WB show that you've never heard of that
2:50
lasted three months named
2:52
Saz Bichler. And I'm like,
2:54
here he is. And he's 19. He's had
2:56
no life experience. And he plays Chiz.
2:59
So here, he all knows
3:02
he's Chiz on You
3:04
Better Not, Saz
3:07
Bichler. And he would come out and he's just,
3:09
you know, six weeks ago was working at whatever
3:12
polishing trays at Chipotle and now he's
3:14
sitting there. And yeah, sometimes
3:16
lightning strikes and this kid
3:18
has an amazing things to say, but there's a lot
3:20
of times where they've got absolutely nothing
3:22
to say. And so I would just start
3:25
talking and fortunately he has sidekick
3:27
Andy Rector is really funny. And Andy would be sitting on
3:29
the other side and I'd be like, you know, Saz, it's
3:31
funny because it says you worked at Chipotle. I was at
3:33
Chipotle once and I have to say, and then Andy would
3:35
go like, oh, you got, don't get me started on Chipotle.
3:38
And we would go and Saz would be laughing
3:41
and then the whole thing would be over and I'd say, Saz,
3:44
fantastic. You know, oh
3:46
no, you better not check it out on
3:48
the WB and everyone would applaud. And
3:51
then my producer
3:53
afterwards would say, you know, you
3:55
were worried about him. I thought Saz did pretty
3:57
well. And I'd say, Saz didn't say a
3:59
thing. It's a fucking thing. He
4:02
didn't say a fucking thing. Look at
4:04
the fucking tape. It's
4:07
me and Andy talking about Chipotle. Hey, if
4:09
you like that, head over to where everybody
4:11
knows your name to listen to the rest
4:14
of my conversation with Ted and Woody now.
