The fact Conan and company legitimately drove it and actually went to comic con was the amazing scene for me

[jimmylin]

I remember my jaw dropping when I first saw this scene in Fury Road and then again when I realized how much Conan and company were committing to recreating the scene.

[Tacomster]

That movie is a classic, I watch it at least once a year

[JammastaJ]

All I want for Christmas is an hour of Stack telling stories

[fairytale]

Literally just re-watched Mad Max, thought of Conan, and now this pops up. How eerie! Loved this cold open soo much!

[mysterwhymedia]

They *rebuilt* that Mad Max ride? I thought they got it from the movie set. That’s insane- and ridiculous talent!

[treborretsnom]

It is strong enough, to stand alone... That's how you know it's iconic

[JohnnyRoseofVersailles]

Bring Conan back 😢 The podcast is not enough

[tombpunk]

Imagine the crowd reaction when they revealed it

[shoocharu]

That's good, I thought they forgot!

[jimmylin]

Please upload the Ventriloquist Dummy Choir!

[geophrian]

Love Robert Smigel. Even with just the one season TV Funhouse is still in my personal top 5 favorite tv shows of all time. Would meet a friend's house to watch each week in a church-like reverence for the absolute insane brilliance we were about to witness.

[tomlewis]

❤❤❤❤❤!!!! Love Fury Road & that cold open! 😎👍

[DirtyFrigginHarry]

I think theres a vid of a panel McCann did and he tells the story of the flight with the ventriloquists

[TheCornBanana]

I haven't thought of the ventrilo-choir in years

[TontoEpstein]

Gaskell's quote of "Dad rock" says that she didn't actually get the joke.

[YodatheHobbit]

Can you guys talk about how you got people like PATTI SMITH and Coldplay to sing the Slip Nuts song?

[LycanLink]

Honestly better than the original scene from the movie, and that's saying a lot.

[stinkerton]

Show some respect. Dino's real name is Alex.

[Feelthefelt]

Yeah yeah yeah. Tell us about Father of the Pride.
