Speaker 3 Okay, let's get started.

Speaker 1 Hi, Coco.

Speaker 4 Welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.

Speaker 1 Hello, Coco.

Speaker 2 Hi, Coco. Nice to see you.

Speaker 1 Your name is, I'm told your name is Coco T. Bear.
Is that correct?

Speaker 2 You nailed it, yeah.

Speaker 1 And there's a lot to ask you right away because I'm looking at a Zoom and I'm being presented with an incredible image of

Speaker 1 all kinds of stuff. There's all kinds of stuff next to you, Coco T Bear.

Speaker 1 And I encourage people to

Speaker 1 maybe go online, check out, just see what I'm seeing. I'm seeing a large gong.
I'm seeing what looks to be a bunch of instruments and beads.

Speaker 1 You are

Speaker 1 You are wrapped in various very multi-patterned robes.

Speaker 1 You look like a religious figure, Coco T Bear. Are you a religious figure?

Speaker 1 No. Well, that's it for our interview.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 2 Nice to see you.

Speaker 1 No, no. Tell us what's going on, Coco T Bear, because I can't figure it out by just looking.

Speaker 2 I do refer to myself as a sonic shaman.

Speaker 1 Sonic shaman.

Speaker 2 A shaman being someone who teaches you what they know.

Speaker 2 And what I know is sound

Speaker 2 and how sound can not only

Speaker 2 help us connect to each other, but also release the bullshit we go through in our day-to-day life.

Speaker 1 That's interesting. And

Speaker 2 I like to use instruments that are easy.

Speaker 2 Like a piano has a lot of notes that are not good

Speaker 1 to play.

Speaker 2 And like a guitar, you can hit a lot of wrong notes.

Speaker 2 But none of my instruments uh have any wrong notes like it's just

Speaker 1 oh yeah that's nice oh it's nice i just uh

Speaker 2 i found these instruments uh that i loved hearing feeling and then i was like i want to i want to play those instruments so forget the viola yeah yeah listen you're talking to a guy that said forget the viola in the 1960s

Speaker 1 yeah coco tea bear i'm using

Speaker 1 do you prefer that i call you cocoa or coco T-Bear?

Speaker 2 To hear Coco O'Brien say the full thing is really nice. You can just say that.

Speaker 1 Coco T-Bear. Coco T-Bear.
You are a sonic shaman.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's say, is this, and this is something that you do professionally?

Speaker 2 People do pay me for this, yes. Okay.
I insist on it.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I think that's get the cash up front, I would say.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. So Denmo's.

Speaker 1 Let's say, where are you right now in the world?

Speaker 2 In the world, I am in a place of love. I am in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're in East Tennessee. Okay.
Yeah. That's so cool.
I was going to say Dolly territory. Yeah.

Speaker 2 My license plate has Dolly Parton on it.

Speaker 1 Wow. That's very cool.
What? And so does Dolly Parton.

Speaker 1 You guys must be running into each other all the time. Whenever you get a parking ticket, she has to pay it.

Speaker 2 Nice little scam.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 You're a Sonic shaman. You're in eastern Tennessee.
Do individual people visit you for a session? What is it called? A session? What are they visiting you for?

Speaker 2 I mean, different things, but the most common is sound bath. You might have heard of a sound bath.

Speaker 1 I've heard of sound bath.

Speaker 2 Los Angeles. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But I'll also sometimes use osteophonic tuning forks or bone vibrating tuning forks. So they're very quiet, but when you put them near somebody,

Speaker 1 do you ever put that near the,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 there's a little bone, the mastoid process. Do you ever put it on the mastoid process?

Speaker 2 So I, yeah, oftentimes I love to play it. So that's the whole point, the bone vibration.
You can actually press it against the skeletal structure and let your body share that vibration with itself.

Speaker 4 Yeah, why the mastoid process?

Speaker 1 What does that do? I'm glad you're doing that. What's up with that?

Speaker 1 Well, I've always thought that that was a good place.

Speaker 1 It's very susceptible because it's so close to the ear and the ear canal.

Speaker 1 It's that right behind the ear, of course, the mastoid process

Speaker 1 would be a great, susceptible place to feel vibrations.

Speaker 1 I apologize for my ignorant friends, Coco T-Bear.

Speaker 1 Not necessary. We don't require it.

Speaker 2 Not all of our fathers can be doctors.

Speaker 6 Wait, are we high when we're doing this? I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 You seem high now.

Speaker 1 He asked for you if anybody's going to ask. Yes, Coco T-Bear.
That's a very good question. How many people are

Speaker 1 high or on some kind of high

Speaker 1 when they're having a sound bath?

Speaker 2 I do like to know when people are high. You don't need to be high.

Speaker 2 But I would say 15% of the time people are already on.

Speaker 2 another substance when they come to a sound bath. I used to do an event at a petite hermitage over there in West Hollywood

Speaker 2 called the highest hour. And they would have a sound bather come and a different dispensary would come and bring a special product.

Speaker 2 So I I met a fella who was 55 years old, first time he had ever smoked weed, and then had a sound bath head.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 a sound bath, how long does a sound bath last for? You're creating different sounds in the sound bath and how many people, you could have 10, 15 people having a sound bath together?

Speaker 2 Yes, I've had an event up to 55 folks.

Speaker 2 But yeah, usually it's in that four

Speaker 1 to 20 range, somewhere in the four to 20 range. And they're having a sound bath together.
You're creating the sounds. They're silent.
Is that correct?

Speaker 2 They are silent, except for, you know, every now and then I call snoring the standing ovation to a sound healer. So every now and then,

Speaker 2 people are breathing. You know, there are other sounds and people are rustling.

Speaker 2 And I just like to remind them that during that space, that sacred space we've created together, all sounds are meant to be.

Speaker 1 What if someone's chewing gum?

Speaker 2 Oh. I mean, they're there for a reason.
You know, we're here to get annoyed sometimes.

Speaker 1 Okay. So that's part of the sound bath.
It's, hey, man, this is what's happening.

Speaker 2 Yeah. This is what's happening right now.
What's it doing to you right now?

Speaker 4 Could you think, could you do a sound bath without doing bits? How long do sound baths last?

Speaker 2 You guys,

Speaker 2 up to an hour, hour and a half.

Speaker 1 I've done

Speaker 2 12-hour sound baths.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's a good question I have because I do. I do a lot of bits.

Speaker 1 I'm a

Speaker 1 nuclear bits machine.

Speaker 1 No, I am a nuclear reactor just firing out bits at the speed of sound. So that would be a problem, right? Because I have a very active mind and a very active mouth.

Speaker 1 I don't know that I'm the right candidate for a sound bath. What would you do if I was sitting there in your class of 24 people? What would you do?

Speaker 1 And I'm like, there we go. Sound bath.
Sound pass the soap.

Speaker 2 You know someone who's been in one of my classes. Even Kevin Nealon can take this serious?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 kidding. Kevin Nealon did the sound bath?

Speaker 2 If even Kevin can take this seriously, I think,

Speaker 2 of all people, even Conan O'Brien might be able to.

Speaker 1 That's incredible. So can you spill the beans a little bit? Kevin.

Speaker 1 Did he come to you in Los Angeles or did he come to Tennessee and do it?

Speaker 2 I used to work at a fancy resort here in Tennessee.

Speaker 2 Oh, he loves a fancy resort.

Speaker 2 That's actually how I found. That's how I found out that his son can do the entirety of an airplane.
He can just quote the whole thing.

Speaker 2 but yeah and that was the first time we met and then we've actually done a few in nashville at a mutual friend's uh home that's so fascinating you know i will say him and susan uh susan lovely susan uh i they are terrific people and i adore kevin um

Speaker 1 i i think he may be soulless

Speaker 1 but that's a different matter

Speaker 1 uh but i've

Speaker 2 been in sound baths where people could not help but make monkey noises and things like that So I think there is a space for people like you because I'm going to be making random noises.

Speaker 1 I'm going to be chattering, making little commentary.

Speaker 1 And so I don't know if that's going to be disruptive to the other people in the sound bath.

Speaker 4 Well, could we do an example of this where Coco T-Bear, you kind of begin a sound bath and let's see how you handle it.

Speaker 1 I think that's a good idea. That's well, produce, producer.
Thanks. Thank you.
Oh, man.

Speaker 4 Now I see why y'all brought Gorley in. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 So go ahead and inhale in through your nose

Speaker 2 and exhale through the mouth.

Speaker 2 And as these sounds move through you, your mind might wander.

Speaker 2 Just don't do that.

Speaker 2 Just bring your mind back with the breath in

Speaker 2 and out.

Speaker 1 Okay, that makes me feel a genies here.

Speaker 1 I feel I'm sorry, I can't, I, there's no way I don't feel like a genie's here when I hear that sound.

Speaker 1 Hold on, I'm having a flashback.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Levitation. That feels like levitation.

Speaker 1 I'm just gonna narrate these sounds. No, don't do it, please.
Don't narrate.

Speaker 1 Inhale.

Speaker 1 Exhale. That's cool.
I hope he hits that gong soon.

Speaker 1 Okay, now I feel like I'm getting a massage.

Speaker 4 Yeah, this is massage music.

Speaker 4 It does relax me though.

Speaker 1 The massage. That's beautiful.
What a beautiful sound.

Speaker 5 I'm already closed. You guys aren't closing?

Speaker 4 Oh, I want to see what he's doing. Oh,

Speaker 4 got my eyes closed. Oh, God.

Speaker 4 Stop talking.

Speaker 1 My god, that's terrifying. Yeah, don't go down that hallway.

Speaker 2 Go down the hallway.

Speaker 2 That's like the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Speaker 1 I mean, I am impressed. These are very cool sounds.
No, but I feel like we're gonna get a visit from La Yarona. I wish I knew what that meant.

Speaker 1 My god, you do need to shut up.

Speaker 1 Shit, Sona, we're trying to listen. Sona, you're the only one that's high, so come on.

Speaker 1 That sounds like cheering. I love that sound.
That's the Chicago theater. That's me at the Chicago theater.

Speaker 1 That's me at the Elgin Theater in Toronto.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. I was killing at that theater.

Speaker 1 I've never... Wait,

Speaker 1 where'd the cheering go?

Speaker 4 Oh, I love that. Where did the cheering go?

Speaker 1 Doesn't that sound that sounded like I swear to God, that sounded like a crowd cheering, and I love that sound.

Speaker 7 This is like a Rorschach test.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because I just heard, like, some some

Speaker 4 of the stuff. I heard fajitas.

Speaker 1 I heard a cheering crowd in Chicago or Toronto.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Stereo?

Speaker 4 It isn't stereo.

Speaker 1 What is that? What is that's a giant disc that has?

Speaker 1 Oh my god, that laugh, too. I love the laugh.

Speaker 7 I'm just gonna buy one.

Speaker 1 Wait, oh my god, I'm king. Cheers and laughter.
I swear to God, I love this.

Speaker 4 I'm at El Torito.

Speaker 6 Sounds like rain

Speaker 1 to me.

Speaker 1 Who was the laugh?

Speaker 2 That was just me laughing.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was your laughing. Oh, my God.
I enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 So, this is just me having a great time.

Speaker 1 Would you ever.

Speaker 1 Oh, God. God.

Speaker 1 She's good at this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I really want to do this without you too.

Speaker 1 I want to do a podcast without either one of you.

Speaker 1 I really just want to.

Speaker 4 I just want to be happy again in my life.

Speaker 4 Oh my gosh. I just want to do something relaxing without the two of you chiming in.

Speaker 4 Two seconds. Bye.

Where is it? A parade of deals. What?

Speaker 1 Kid crying. Every day from now through November 27th, Macy's is featuring a new must-have deal that will last only one day.

I was fooled. Don't bring a balloon and get all excited.
Your daily thrill starts now. Shop now at Macy's.com or in store.

Speaker 1 Can I ask you a question? There's no school for this. You just seem to know how to do this.

Speaker 1 I am impressed because I didn't, I have to say, you can think there's going to be some chicanery or skull duggery when someone says I'm a sound shaman.

Speaker 1 And then what you're doing actually sounds very relaxing

Speaker 1 and it sounds like it would work.

Speaker 4 I'm a hard seller for this kind of thing. And I think you have such a good attitude with this.
You don't seem too self-serious, and it seems very pleasing.

Speaker 2 Right. Yeah.
When I found this, I was still using the phrase hippie-dippy bullshit on a regular basis.

Speaker 2 I was quite a skeptic.

Speaker 1 And because there are a lot of goofballs

Speaker 2 to be nice about it.

Speaker 2 But if you just approach it as a musician, and I found a really great teacher, I was going to three to five of her sound baths a week in Los Angeles. Her name's Lauren Rose.

Speaker 1 Hi, Lauren.

Speaker 2 And she did a three-month program where we actually

Speaker 2 went over like dynamic sound and what sound can do for the body. And we studied how vibrations affect you as a, on a cellular structure.

Speaker 2 And then on top of that, she was like, well, what are you trying? She didn't just say play these instruments. It was about feeling the energy in the room.
I did improv in Chicago for

Speaker 2 seven years. So like, I just kind of lean into that

Speaker 1 combines with improv. Like if you didn't have a good,

Speaker 1 you're doing a scene, you sort of start to lose like, I don't quite know where to go now. I'm going to start using this gong and these maracas and switch over to sound bath.

Speaker 1 That would be a good way to get out of that scene, you know?

Speaker 2 There were some nights at I.O. that I wish I had a gong.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 100%.

Speaker 6 Can we hear the gong?

Speaker 1 Yeah, clearly. Can we hear the gong?

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, for sure.
Sona, never apologize for asking what you do.

Speaker 1 She should.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, oh,

Speaker 1 look, he's not banging it like I would.

Speaker 4 It's like he's caressing it, he's fondling it.

Speaker 1 This is sort of sexual. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, I like what they're doing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I like what's happening. We're going to give it a nice now that it's warmed up and we give her a roll.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 I came.

Speaker 1 Oh my god. You just.

Speaker 1 You what?

Speaker 1 I was watching her. You just.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Sona. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Sona, what would Tax say?

Speaker 1 What would your mom say?

Speaker 1 We got to edit that out. No, we are not editing that out.

Speaker 2 That's incredible. I can't wait to tell my best friend that.

Speaker 1 That's incredible.

Speaker 1 Wow. Wow.

Speaker 1 I've never been with a woman when she orgasmed.

Speaker 1 It's a burst for me.

Speaker 1 I always thought it was like a Yeti, just something you heard about, but

Speaker 1 didn't exist.

Speaker 1 Incredible. Well, there it is, ladies and gentlemen, proof that the female orgasm does exist at long last.
Straight line.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Well, Coco T. Bear, you just got a killer.
That was a high, high moment.

Speaker 1 I don't care what she's hearing.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 I'm a believer. I have to say, I'm a complete believer.
I am, too.

Speaker 1 And you know what? And knowing that Kevin Nealon and Susan did this,

Speaker 1 and I know Kevin's a bit of a seeker. He's looking because clearly he hasn't found it, but he's looking for the answer.
And I could see him doing this. This is fascinating.

Speaker 2 He also, like, so I, at one point, I was doing 10 of these a week at minimum. And so I had my own little Southwest jokes, you know, things that always killed in the room.

Speaker 2 And then Kevin laughed at a zero of them, and I was convinced he hated me.

Speaker 2 And then I realized that

Speaker 2 it's buffoonery that he prefers.

Speaker 1 Yeah. By less than your show.
So thank you for that.

Speaker 1 I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 This is fascinating.

Speaker 1 Are there any, I mean, I have a question for you. We make a podcast.
We make a podcast here. And it's how you've come to us.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 On a sonic level, you as a sound shaman, what do you think of a sonic shaman, what do you think of the podcast just on a soothing sonic level? And be honest.

Speaker 2 Eduardo, I've told Eduardo this, he does a great job. If it wasn't for the levels on this show and the editing of the pops and the ums and the breaths that Matt does, this is a tight show.

Speaker 2 And I listen to very few podcasts. This is actually the first podcast I ever actually started listening to regularly.
That's nice. I would get into podcasts.
I would try to try one.

Speaker 2 It would sound terrible. There'd be echoes.

Speaker 2 And so I would just move on.

Speaker 2 And it made me actually regret not watching your show all those years.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Coco.

Speaker 2 Because you're so like, this is funny. This is great.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I have had to go back and watch the things like FedExpo.

Speaker 1 Pretty historic.

Speaker 1 No, you missed out.

Speaker 2 Thank God they're saved on the internet.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's move past the part where you're unaware of my work on television.

Speaker 1 Oh, wait, I just came.

Speaker 1 That was a quick.

Speaker 1 That was a fast orgasm. Flute did it for you? Yeah, oh, my God.
The heart wants what the heart wants. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You heard a second of a flute, and you came instantly and very quickly. Oh, there I came.

Speaker 1 Oh, there I came. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Flute. Oh, there I came.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Coco T. Bear, this is hilarious.
And also,

Speaker 1 I'm buying what you're selling. I really am.
My favorite one. Do you ever come to Los Angeles?

Speaker 6 Can I see you?

Speaker 1 You're a married woman.

Speaker 1 You're a married woman. Yeah, I know.
Did you ever come to Los Angeles?

Speaker 1 I mean, not. I do.
Okay. I'd like to see you.
We would like to see. Romantic.
Wait, can we do it

Speaker 1 next summer?

Speaker 4 Because we've already got Chilchum's planned. But in 2026, could we do a sound bath session with Coco T-Bear for Chilchum's Who knows?

Speaker 1 It doesn't even have to be a Chilchum's. We'll find a slot.
I think there's a sound bath in our future because guess what? We all need a sound bath. You know, it's been a while.

Speaker 2 I'm convinced they brought me here to chill you out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's never, I mean, I don't know if it's chilled me.

Speaker 2 They were like, we're going to do this after the Oscars, okay? And then they were like, actually, we're going to do this after the Mark Twain Awards. And I was like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's wait till

Speaker 1 we're always waiting for a time when my life isn't crazy and I don't feel like there's a gun in my mouth and it never comes.

Speaker 1 But I will say this.

Speaker 1 Oh, go ahead.

Speaker 2 I just almost regret to say this, but like you have mentioned your own sound soothing that you do.

Speaker 2 It is unfortunately in the waste of time of others, but you like attention.

Speaker 2 And you noodling on a guitar is your own version of noodling on a guitar.

Speaker 1 And also, I do a thing when people are talking sometimes where I go, ooh,

Speaker 1 you're you're a little verbal.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I do that and I do it to try to do it in a way where the other person, like if someone's driving me in an Uber and they're saying, oh, it's, you know, okay, we're going to take a left trip, go, ooh,

Speaker 1 and I make little strange noises and they, I don't, they don't hear me, but they give me pleasure. You've been around with me when this is happening.

Speaker 7 Yes. And it's in said, that's why I don't think I want to do this sound bath with you.

Speaker 1 And I mean that in a loving way. It's a very private and personal thing for you.

Speaker 2 I have done this for people's assistance aside from doing it for them.

Speaker 1 That's usually the case. See, but you're doing it.

Speaker 4 That's like the opposite for us of a sound bath. It's like a sound cesspool or something where we're subject to this sewage dumped on us.

Speaker 2 You feel like I mean, it's like the antithesis of a gold bloom growl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right.

Speaker 7 Oh, I bet he'd be great in a sound bath.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes, he is a sound bath. He is

Speaker 4 so soothing, and he's so

Speaker 1 tactile.

Speaker 1 Coco Tiber,

Speaker 1 you've risen in

Speaker 1 my to the top. You've risen to the top.
I want to have a sound bath. I want you to be my sonic shaman.

Speaker 1 And I think we're going to make this work out sometime in the future. Until then, amazing.
Take care of yourself. Okay.
And really,

Speaker 1 so nice. So nice to get a chance to talk to you.
And can you play us out?

Speaker 1 Yeah, play us out.

Speaker 2 Can I first do two nerdy questions, though?

Speaker 1 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 if it's a bother, don't worry.

Speaker 1 You didn't have to say nerdy. Just say two quests.
Just say two questions.

Speaker 2 Okay, but they're ultimately lerdy.

Speaker 2 Well, I knew that. Do you know of

Speaker 2 a lesser-known Civil War battlefield here in the South that I could go play my gong at that maybe doesn't get as much of attention as like

Speaker 2 Gettysburg?

Speaker 1 Oh, well, the South is just filled with battlefields.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So I'd have to look it up.
I mean, I don't know my battles well enough to know, like, oh, right, eastern Tennessee. I know where you can go.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 You know, why not go out? You could get to Georgia pretty quickly. It's not a battlefield, but you could go to Andersonville, which is where prisoners of war were kept.

Speaker 1 And that might be a great place to heal because there was a lot of suffering there. So you could go to, that's where northern

Speaker 1 POWs were kept. So, and many of them died of dysentery.
So you banging a gong in that field field might bring them peace and relief.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and if you're looking for a Star Wars battlefield, I'd say this planet of Scarif.

Speaker 1 I'm not, though. Okay.

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 I know that stuff.

Speaker 2 But then this is Simpsons-related.

Speaker 2 I was once actually told, hey, don't approach Matt Groening. And so I made sure to go and tell him how much I loved him.

Speaker 2 As a figure, as a leader that sees himself as a Stalin-esque leader,

Speaker 2 and then I saw you dance and sing at the

Speaker 1 Well, that would be intellectual property. That would be stealing.
I'd have to do that. So if The Simpsons develop something like that, I don't pretend to do that.

Hard to perform on command.

Go in peace, man.

Speaker 2 Good to talk to y'all.
