Everything about the story Natasha Lyonne told Conan O’Brien about an almost orgy between cast members of Orange is the New Black, Sense8 and Daredevil, among other Netflix series, is gold.

The highlights:

— It takes place at a Netflix mixer in Brazil. Brazilians are apparently obsessed with the word “velcro,” which apparently has some sexual connotation.

— Lyonne calls Daredevil the “blind show.”

— A Netflix mixer orgy is suggested as a way for cast members of the various shows to get to know each other. “Pretty much everyone was game … but the orgy quickly becomes a negotiation scenario.”

— Lyonne, who is apparently dating Fred Armisen, had to call her boyfriend up and ask for permission. “I love you. You do what you need to do,” Armisen told her. “You wanna make friends with the new members …”

— After Armisen gives her permission, it’s become a “legal orgy,” and the thrill is gone.

— Lyonne wonders if an orgy even counts as cheating, because there’s no intimacy. “It’s like a pick-up basketball game.”
