    I would love to hear RDJ’s side of the story 😂
  • @Octoberville
    "Who's Artie Jay?" "Robert Downey Jr., RDJ?" - That's the way my mind would've interpreted that
  • @DeltaEcho303
    Only Conan would escalate an awkward encounter into a Class A felony that would get him beaten mercilessly.
  • @davetbrunner
    Send the child in!! Sans parents

    Is now my favorite Conan line 😂
  • This guy is a great storyteller. That whole RDJ story had me dying. Especially when he said that his wife let go of his hand so as not to be associated with him. Hilarious.
  • @bchearne
    Love me some Paul Scheer awkward stories 😂
  • @JWickyJr13
    Imagine a reality where you're working at a coffee shop and Conan and Arnold show up. Separately.
  • @TheHAMMER91
    The Arnold interaction sounds more charming than awkward to me lol I like being on the level of someone to be able to communicate outside of the performative act of charismatic conversation. Those sleepy time grunts are what it’s all about
  • @pablosonic892
    Nothing touches Paul's childhood stories. They are legendary in their hilarious horrificness. So much so, that on LIVE shows of his ten plus year HDTGM podcast, that as soon as he even hints at bringing up a childhood memory, the audience immediately Bristles with eager anticipation. And without fail, no matter where you think the story is going or how bad it will go, the actual story is always ten times worse. Love Paul's childhood stories.

    Been a member of the Cone-Zone since 2003, love you Conan!

    When RDJ went home to RDS and told the story around the Downey-dinner-table, I bet they both realized that knew the guy Paul described and had a good Downey-father-and-son laugh.
  • You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Artie Jay... 🤣
  • Christopher Walken seems so much like he'd do all this just for fun, just saying to himself, "I'm going to give this kid a story he will tell for the rest of his life."
  • @frambojan
    I had a sympathy panic attack listening to this.
  • @philmarek3272
    LMAO Paul's story reminded me of that scene in UHF where Weird Al shouts, "Hey...RJ!" and the whole office freezes in place. 😂
