A Chicken Sandwich Brought Conan & His Fan Together | Conan O'Brien Needs A Fan
Now aa normally on Conan O'Brien needs a. fan podcast I say it's nice to meet you. but I must tell everyone we have already. met. I was shooting. >> my [snorts] travel show in Austria. when suddenly I was accosted by a young. woman who approached me. You accosted me. and I love using that word. I was. accosted. >> Uh you came up to me on the street. You. saw me shooting and you walked right up. to me and we had a quick conversation.
which by the way made it into I believe. the Austri show. >> I saw it in a trailer. I mean the the. short episode of it and I was amazed. really. Yeah. I I didn't think that it. would really make to the show or and I. was really so shocked but I can't. believe that I talked to you again and I. see you again. Wow. >> Well, first of all, let's let's paint. the picture. I was in Vienna and I was. standing on the street with a camera. crew. And what made you come over? Did. you know what we were doing? Did you see.
me or did you just come over to. investigate? >> So, the story is a bit strange. Um, I. [clears throat] was on my way back home, but I had this strong intuition that I. want some chicken sandwich and there is. a very good like store or shop um, right. next to the spot where you were with. Jordan and I was like, am I that hungry. really to walk there? But my intuition. was so strong like go there, go and get. your chicken sandwich. And I was like,
okay. and I was on my way and then I was. like something weird is happening. because this that's the street I walk on. every day to get to my work and it was. um a bit loud and that's so um unusual. to Vienna and I'm like okay what's going. on and then I see you and I was stunned. really I was like that that's that's not. possible so it was such a surreal. experience. >> well you you know I love that you uh you. portray this as this this instinct inked.
uh or this karma drew you to me. It was. a chicken sandwich. [laughter]. >> That's how I got this job. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. What I do what I'm going to do from now. on when I travel to other countries is. just stand next to the chicken sandwich. store [laughter]. and I but it was it was really fun to. meet you and I could tell right away. you've got a great personality and you. told me that you're from Kazakhstan. Is. that right? >> Exactly. Yes. Yes. Yeah. And so you are. a representative of Kazakhstan. I've.
never been to Kazakhstan. And you know, I like to travel. I like to find out. about other countries. Um, were I to go. to Kazakhstan. um, and you were to show me around. First of all, what would be your. mission? What would you want to show me? What would you want me to learn about. Kazakhstan? >> Actually, Kazakhstan is the ninth. largest country in the world. So, it's. pretty big. And it's very important. really to pick a certain region or. certain city. And I originally come from.
Almadi. So it used to be um a capital. but not anymore. And Almadi actually has. beautiful beautiful nature. So mountains. and and lakes and um it's really. mesmerizing the nature. So I would. really um invite you to Almadi to visit. this city first. Yeah. >> Are there what are the are there. stereotypes about Kazakhstan that you. would want to correct? >> Oh yeah, probably you know the Bored.
movie. >> So um it's it's a pretty triggering. topic for us. Um I know yeah there is a. specific irony behind the movie and then. um specific I would say type of humor. and so on but as a citizen of Kazakhstan. it's um a bit sensitive topic for us. you do you think the Borat movie he's. clearly ex you know he's he's he's not. pretending to depict the actual.
Kazakhstan but um it's it upsets the. people in Kazakhstan that that's how uh. it's portrayed in the movie Borat. >> but this is you so you know that okay. that's not real Kazakhstan but I met a. lot of people who actually think that. that's Kazakhstan and I'm I'm I grew a. bit tired to kind of correct them that. that's not actually Kazakhstan so the. the movie was filmed in Romania and they. actually use real national symbols like. our flag and then the geography of the.
country and then the name of the. country. So it was a bit uh painful to. watch to to be honest. Um but of course. I understand that it's it's a humor and. it's irony but um I couldn't really bear. and bring myself to watch more than six. or seven minutes of that movie. Really? >> Well, I thought you were about to say I. could only watch it six or seven times. >> [laughter]. >> on the seventh time I decided that's it. >> Um that's very common though where. comedians make something and then there. are people who don't who who see it and.
think, "Oh, Borat's a real. correspondent." And uh but yes, I could. I understand I understand there have. been depictions of my hometown of Boston. which portray us as loud, abrasive. people that wear Red Sox caps backwards. and just eat chowder. And they're. absolutely right. >> Absolutely. >> There we go. Yeah. Correct. It's pretty. true. >> Um well, okay, let's uh let's pretend. here. Aa, first of all, I'm curious. When you saw me in person, was there. anything that surprised you? Some people.
are um taken with my in person that I'm. quite different than I am on television. Say my verility. Hello. Is this thing. on? Is this thing working? >> No, I'm just curious what you thought. when you first saw me. >> I was shocked how tall you are. Really? I was like, "Wow, you're huge." And then. the second fact is that your hair is. real. So that was really. >> You thought I've been all these years. I've been wearing a wig. You thought. this was a wig that I've been wearing.
>> I don't know. I don't know. It's It's. very, >> you know, unnatural. >> Asia, I am um my hair is very strange. It is real, but I am contemplating at. some point when it's necessary switching. to a wig. Just a wig. It just be so much. easier to strap on a Conan wig. you know. that they sell them somewhere. >> Um. >> like talk those generic talk show host. wigs, that kind of thing. >> It's something that just is like a. helmet that I just put on. The pompador. is ready to go. It's made of nylon. It. locks in place. It's also got a digital.
clock and a pocket for me to keep little. trinkets in. >> Um so that's coming. >> No, no, no. But you look very good. You. look very good. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. That's. what I was looking for and I got it. And. we'll edit out everything else except. that I look really good and then we'll. put an echo on that. Um, [laughter]. so okay, >> make a note of that. >> Yeah, it's okay. It's just gonna happen. naturally. Um, I uh I come to Kazakhstan. and you AA you show me around. You will. be the ambassador. You'll be showing me. around because we're friends already. We've already met. What are the kind of.
activities that we would do or the. customs that you would teach me? >> Um, hunting maybe on a horse. >> Hunting on a horse? >> Wow. >> Yeah. Yeah. you you like steps you on a. horse holding an eagle and then hunting. some small small animals. >> You think I could ride a horse with it. and and hold an eagle at the same time. on my arm and that's how I hunt? >> Why not? >> No. No. I mean for Yeah. I mean I am. very athletic and I have great command.
over eagles with my mind. So the eagle. needs to I can't train the eagle. The. eagle's pre-trained, right? The eagle. knows what it's doing. >> They're pretty heavy. But I think you. will you'll get this. Yeah, >> they're pretty what? >> Heavy. >> Heavy. Oh, the eagle's heavy. >> Heavy. >> Have you seen these guns? Did you look. at my arm in person when we saw each. other? You could put a panther on this. arm. >> I'd hold it for all day and all night. >> Um. [laughter] Uh. Yeah. >> Why would you hold a panther? Panther.
all day. >> That's so and all night. >> And all night. So, it's we're it's a. close relationship with the panther. [laughter]. You know, you ask the dumbest questions. >> I do. >> When I'm talking about having a panther. perched on my arm while I'm on horseback. and then you come in with these insane. uh allegations. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I. >> You took what I was saying about having. a panther on my arm on horseback in. Kazakhstan and then made it silly. >> I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. [laughter]. Yeah. Anyway, an eagle can be on his arm. for a long time. >> There be an eagle on my arm. I'm just.
curious what is the eagle going to when. I say first of all what is the command I. give to the eagle in in the native. tongue what would I say. >> I don't know scream something like hey. or [laughter]. >> what I don't you can do worked out. >> wait a minute are you from Baltimore. [laughter]. >> I think this is all a put on the. Baltimore Orioles playing behind you in. a stadium. >> yes uh Kazakhstan oh what do I yell to. the eagle when I wanted to get going.
She got all her information from Bora. Yeah. [laughter]. >> I only say that I can imagine you being. like on a horse with an eagle and then. giving some commands to you. >> Well, guess what? I I would do that in a. second. I would eat that up and spit it. out. So, what are we hunting? What is an. eagle? I mean, it's not like the eagle. has to capture something that's smaller. than the eagle, I'm guessing, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. Maybe some rabbits. I. don't know. Are you into rabbits? [laughter]. >> Okay. What do you mean? Am I into a rabbit?
>> I think she's making this up as she. goes. [laughter]. >> You are so full of right now. This. is just This is [laughter] just. nonsense. Yes, you would have an eagle. What would. I say to talk? I don't know. Something. that people in Kazakhstan say. And what. would we get? I don't know. Rabbit. What. do you think? What do I think? You're. talking about this. You went on and on. about how [laughter] Kazakhstan is so. important to you and you want to write. all the wrong things that have been said. about Kazakhstan. You don't know. >> [laughter].
