‘He Is Basically the Goop That’s Inside a Lava Lamp’

I’ve been hearing so many wild things about Nate Fleming – people online call him everything from a Muppet to a prophet! It’s honestly fascinating. I was really curious how someone who knows his work would put it into words, so I asked Conan O’Brien, who produced Fleming’s new special, Live at the Palace. His first attempt? A six-foot dandelion on cocaine bursting out of the ground! Seriously. And he kept trying to explain it! Eventually, he settled on comparing Fleming to the gloopy stuff inside a lava lamp. It’s a weirdly perfect description, honestly. It captures that unpredictable, slightly chaotic energy he has.
