  • Still the best

    Loved him in all his roles and love this podcast, including his team. Side note: I think all his listeners are thinking if him and want to give him a big, goofy hug considering all the unfortunate things that happened to him - with no fault- this year.

  • An evergreen binge 🌲

    I have been binge listening starting with episode 1 a few months back; it’s going to take a while to catch up— Conan could die today and I wouldn’t know for at least a year 😅. Hopefully that doesn’t happen 😭. Love you guys!
