During the conversation, Conan playfully asked Flula if he aspired to have a family someday. Flula responded by saying that he would love to have a musical family or even a family of animals. Conan then jokingly suggested that Flula would be a great dad, recounting how Flula had taken care of an American Girl doll during their time on tour together.
The conversation took a humorous turn when Conan teased Flula about potentially having seven children and making them sing before bedtime. Flula amusingly replied that if he had seven children, he might be tempted to tell them he’s running errands and then take off, knowing that they would quickly catch on to the fact that he’s not coming back.
Conan, who has two children of his own, shared that he is content with his family size and has no plans for more kids. Flula, ever the jokester, expressed his willingness to adopt Conan’s child if the opportunity arose.
The conversation took a musical twist as Flula talked about his passion for playing music. He mentioned playing Trombone in the mornings to wake up his neighbors and the world, even though it often resulted in complaints. Conan humorously remarked that a glissando on the trombone is the best way to wake him up.
Flula revealed that he had observed Bavarian Oompah bands and even been part of a Sho plattler band, where slapping oneself and others is a key component. Conan recalled a remote segment in which he and Flula performed the Sho plattler, describing it as one of his favorite comedic moments.
The conversation then veered towards lighthearted banter about Flula’s famous catchphrase, “Everything everyone thinks is terrible, but I’m still enjoying this snack.” Flula shared that he finds delight in people’s non-enjoyment of his comedic antics, comparing the feeling to a moment of pure peace when people approach death.
The segment ended with Conan and Flula attempting a quick improv game, showcasing their improvisational skills. While the game was met with mixed results, their comedic dynamic and ability to make each other laugh shone through.
