This is a glorious day,
Because,
for the first time,
since she left to go on maternity leave and give birth to
Mikey and Charlie, her beautiful twin boys,
Sona Movsesian is back in the Podcast Studio.
(clapping)
Sona. Yay.
[Sona] It's good to be...
Can I say something. It was good to be back.
Yeah, you know it was nice, uh
It was kind of emotional because you've...
You zoomed in once Yeah
[Conan] kind of recently.
But to have you back here in the studio,
and of course I've been here uh...
With uh, with David, David is Sona's assistant
and yes, you heard that right,
my assistant has an assistant nah he's...
[Conan] named David Hopping.
He's more your assistant now.
Well, yes,
but what I'm saying is, yeah
you used to have an assistant.
That's right. Wasn't that the best time?
That was a good time.
It was a great couple of years.
Which enabled you to do, I was a great boss.
Absolutely nothing.
Sona was the best boss though.
Yeah I was.
So anywho uh, he says I was the best boss
[Conan] Yeah. Cause he lets you watch uh, you know,
Big Brother or whatever it is you watch.
Grey's Anatomy Grey's Anatomy, a lot yeah.
[Conan] Okay, whatever, whatever I don't know.
You're so jealous
I haven't, watched TV since
Mayberry R.F.D. went off the air. Anyway.
No one got that.
David uh, there's two people out there who got it,
and boy are they happy? Jerry
(chuckling)
And both of them worked on that show.
[Conan] Listen, David has been,
doing his best to fill in for you.
And I think doing a lovely job,
doing a fantastic job oh thank you
here in the podcast studio,
but great to have you back
Sona, and people have missed you.
People have told me how, everywhere I go,
People say how's Sona doing?
Yeah, that's nice. Can I...
I was really excited to come back and then I think five
minutes into being here
Can I, can we can I tell you what happened?
[Sona] Yeah, I think I want you to say it.
Okay, so I see Sona in the parking lot.
We're here at the Earwolf Studios on Sunset Boulevard,
just a fun fact.
Right across the street from where Greg Daniels
and I got started in the business in 1985.
That's cool.
[Conan] It's uh, called Sunset Gower Studios,
"Not Necessarily the News", little fun fact.
Anyway, I run into you in the parking lot
as we're both about to walk up,
and we hug,
and it's kind of emotional.
You're back, you look fantastic.
Doesn't she look fantastic? She looks great,
[Conan] Yeah. You look amazing.
You really do. Thank you.
[Conan] You look amazing and,
we're just so happy to see you,
[Sona] Thrilled.
and then we walk into the offices,
and there are a couple of people here,
and Ruthie's here,
from Team Coco and she's happy to see you and hugs you.
So nice.
[Conan] And, uh, David's hugging you,
And everyone's hugging you.
I wanna say maybe at most, two minutes went by.
Yeah.
When,
you, found that there's these energy bars
here, little snack bars. Uh hm, yeah.
And so Sona unwrapped,
one of the snack bars and was eating it,
and you seemed really happy and, everyone was really happy.
And you're about so excited, it was delicious
halfway through this bar
and I said, what you got there Sona?
And you went, what is it? What was it?
It was a Kashi chocolate almond,
sea salt,
delicious, you know bar.
[Conan] Yeah. And you were halfway through it,
you were really enjoying it and I said what is that?
And, and you went, oh, it's this,
and I said and what flavor's it?
And you held it out just a little bit.
(David laughing)
And I smacked it out of your hands.
And it went flying across the room and shattered into a
million pieces.
And you, shouted out, "You dick."
Yes. Uh hm.
[Conan] And
I was thinking,
that's what I do.
(David laughing)
Minutes.
[Conan] That's what I do,
And you think just because you gave birth to two babies,
Oh my God.
(laughing)
[Conan] That you get to come in here now
and be treated differently.
And what I'm trying to teach you is no,
I...
[Conan] You gotta get your reflexes back.
You would...I mean, I've done that on the T...
Oh. I was so mad.
I've done that to you hundreds of times,
it's actually featured in a very popular YouTube video
That's out there, where I demonstrate how I do it,
in front of an HR person.
Right. No shame.
[Conan] And you held it out to me,
cause you completely forgot. I did.
You were so busy giving life to the world,
(laughing)
that you forgot what it's like
to guard your Kashi bar around Conan.
I wasn't even angry at you. I was angry at myself,
Appropriate.
cause I should've seen that coming a mile away.
[Conan] Right.
And I... now at this point, like you did that once
when we were on the show, where I was holding a plate of
watermelon and you're like, "what do you eat there?"
I'm like, "well it's a plate of watermelon,"
and you didn't hit it, you kicked it.
That was hard cause I...
You like, did a roundhouse kick
[Conan] Cause I had to kick it
Out of my hands.
Yes, and I kicked it perfectly,
So it went flying and you know,
that takes real coordination. Yeah.
It was...I have very long legs,
and I did a spinning kick,
(laughing)
and hit the plate, which was paper fortunately.
But I didn't care.
(laughing)
It could've been on a Ming vase and I wouldn't have cared.
And the, and the watermelon went flying,
crew members were there,
(laughing)
and they weren't used to this.
And it's always right when I really want to snack,
I find the perfect snack.
And it's almost as if something triggers in your brain where
you're like Sona's, enjoying herself.
Oh yes.
Let me ruin it.
The way a shark can smell blood,
I can smell joy,
and I have to attack.
(laughing)
If I sense joy,
I must strike.
And you get so happy about your snacks.
All I need is food, and you take it away from me.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, and you love it.
[Conan] Oh my God. It made me so happy.
I'm so glad you're back, and I'm so glad you're snacking,
and then gullible enough to when I innocently inquire.
"So what, what flavors it?"
You hold it out a little closer to me.
Agh God.
[Conan] "Well, it's actually' it's chocolate,
but it's got a little fudge swirl and,"
kwatang!
goes flying.
Minutes.
At least her hair's still up.
Yeah. (laughs)
He hasn't done that yet.
[Sona] Oh yeah. When you just punch my,
I have my hair in a bun,
and you just punch the bun for no reason.
I punch the bun,
because I think that doesn't count as
actually hitting you because,
(laughing)
it's, those are dead cells, hair cells.
[Sona] You never get my head, you don't.
[Conan] No, oh God no, that would be abuse.
I wouldn't touch the skull or the head,
but I figured out a way that if I punch,
quickly like a little rabbit punch,
the bun of your hair,
it completely falls apart and you go, "oh man."
(David laughing)
So good to be back.
[Conan] Anyway,
As you can tell, I've missed you.
Ah, I've missed you too.
(Conan laughing)
It was seconds.
