I do have something to talk to you about Sona,
and this is an actual concern of mine.
Okay.
And I think our audience is aware
that Sona is very pregnant now with twin boys
Yes.
And you are going to be bringing them
into the world any week now.
Any week. Any time. Yeah.
And I'm going to be very honest about this.
This is not a bit, this is actually something
I felt a little bit.
I am a middle child in a family of six
and in my family I could often feel
a little bit lost in the shuffle, which can happen.
And now for 11 years, you've worked for me
12.
I said worked so,
(laughs)
but you've been with me for 12 years.
Yes.
I was your priority.
You didn't always act like it, but I was your--
Oh boy.
No, but I was your priority and now--
Yeah.
That priority, I think is going to shift
(laughs)
Because--
You think?
I think it's going to shift when these twin boys show up.
You think it's going to shift.
I have--
(laughs)
Yes. I believe that that's a possibility.
You think there's still a chance you are going
to be my biggest priority in life.
Yeah. Your best case scenario is
that there's one twin, then you, then another twin.
(laughs)
[Matt] In priority order.
I don't--
And that's not gonna happen.
I just don't know.
I feel some of the same feelings that I felt
back in, you know, the early seventies
when my youngest brother Justin was born.
He was the sixth and I remembered feeling
"Another one? I'm shoved more into obscurity."
And of course they made a big deal about Justin,
and my father was like,
"Oh Justin's going to be the smart one.
And Justin will be the good one."
And I remember it feeling
(laughs)
It was a tough time, Watergate was happening.
The country was still recovering from the Vietnam War.
And then I of course plunged more into obscurity
with each additional child. Now you're putting me
through the same trauma by having twins.
And I'm wondering how I'm going to figure into your life,
once the twins show up.
Well, first of all, you're a man in your fifties now.
Hmm. Late forties let's say.
No, it's definitely not--
Late fifties
It's late fifties.
I think mid forties.
Okay. No. It's late--
I'm a man in my early forties.
The fact that You still have these feelings is troubling
but also, you know, you're right.
For a long time, I was single, I was having a good time,
like I could--
You were having a really good time.
Okay, relax. And then Tak came into the picture
and I'm sorry, but Tak my husband
is also a bigger priority to me than you are.
Is he really?
Yes! He is my spouse. He is my life partner.
But, I
pay you.
No, that's not how life works.
It's like Liza is a bigger priority to you, you know?
And that's how families works. (laughs)
I don't know why I'm ex--
I had no idea.
Can you tell me what you think, in terms of rank priority?
Like what's the priority list in my life?
What do you think it is?
Show business first.
Oh boy.
(laughs)
I'm just telling you what my--
that's how I-- wake me up in the middle of the night
and go, "There's been-- there's trouble."
And I'll say "What? The show? Podcasts? What's the problem?"
Okay.
That's what I do.
Just wake me up in the middle of the night.
"Oh, no something terrible happened."
"What? My career, what?"
(laughs)
Then I'll start asking questions about children
and wives and parents and stuff like that.
What do you think the list is in my life?
Like how do you think you rank?
I understand having to have close to similar billing
with Tak, but I would think the order should be me, Tak,
very close second--
Ha.
Podcast.
Children.
Oh my God.
So the way I see it
now
is it's Oki first, my dog.
What?
Yes they--
Oh my God. This is hilarious.
Wait, so you're both crazy?
(laughs)
You know what I love? She's all about her dog.
She carries her dog around.
She's one of those people that's like,
"Oh. Oki just had an idea, I can tell.
Oh, did you hear what Oki did last night?
What'd he do? He was thirsty
so I put out water and he drank it.
(laughs in high pitched voice) It's not a good story?"
No.
That's the kind of (beep) that Sona is always saying.
And I keep telling her, when these twins show up
you're going to forget your dog.
You just are because that's what happens.
And you refuse to believe me.
I think you guys are both too close to it.
You're too in the thick of it.
I think that natural priority order is
your two twin sons--
Yeah.
Your husband, your dog, me, Conan.
(laughs)
So who's our guest today?
I feel like it's 1973 all over again.
Okay. You were 10.
Now you're in your late fifties.
No, I was 10 then, but still somehow
I'm only in my late thirties.
(laughs)
Listen I'm working on my publicist on a new date of birth.
We'll get to that very soon.
