Conan Chats With A Norwegian Fish Farmer | Conan O'Brien Needs A Fan

Kai first of all tell me where are you. talking to us from where are you right. now in the world I'm calling from a. small fishing Village on the coast of. Norway on the islands of lufoten called. egum I'm sorry it's called flu fluten. yeah. oh I'm sorry how foolish of me. your name is Kai and you're coming from. Lou fleuten. Norway yes. let him say it one more time say it. again.

I think you're getting it. um you're coming along it's nice. Kai tell me a little bit about yourself. who are you tell us about Kai uh I am. just the run of the old male fish farmer. from Norway I uh I used to be a. fisherman. uh I don't know if you've seen like the. Discovery Channels TV show Deadliest. Catch yes so you used to be a used to be. a fisherman you used to take fish from. the sea but now you're a fish farmer.

which means that you are planting fish. in the ground in the ground fish seeds. how does it work like it's it's funny. because like the fishermen don't really. like the fish Farmers that much because. they think it's cheating but I just say. to the fishermen which I used to be. myself that why do you want to go out. into the ocean and spend a lot of time. searching for fish when you can just. plant in there feed them and sell them.

when they get big yeah that's true and. so how does that go over with the. fishermen yeah no they're angry all the. time I think they're pretty angry when. you say that uh you're fish farming but. that still means you get in a boat yes. you get in a boat and you go out and you. have an area where you where you raise. these fish yeah we have like these. installations on the ocean called a fish. cage and uh like where I work we have 10. of them and there's about 500 000 salmon. in these cages and we go out on Arcadium.

around every day and we like make sure. it gets fed we make sure like the. temperatures are like the environment is. right around them and stuff like that. yeah what do you feed the salmon yeah. it's something called pellets it's like. this it's something like they have. figured out the kind of uh of uh of food. that it gets to like make them grow the. most from what they eat right so it's is. it filled with lots of chemicals and. stuff uh that will help you no no.

chemicals it's. like me it's all natural okay oh very. nice oh I don't know about yukai but I. rely on many chemicals to enhance things. if you know what I mean and you will uh. Kai you will what Kai please settle down. gang Kai. um do fish would if you fed salmon. hamburger would they eat it of course we. wouldn't. good answer I'm just curious like part. of me thinks wouldn't it be funny to. feed salmon hamburger and then feed that.

to a pescetarian and then when they're. done go ha ha you just ate a lot of. hamburger you wouldn't that be a. fun prank. yeah that would be yeah that would be. hilarious.

have like super viruses hanging over us. we it's like the ocean breeze it's the. weather it's everything around that and. like at the end of the day when we when. we come in we can put a good honest days. work behind us you know it's interesting. you say that because it sounds like. you're a real man's man. I am a real man yeah look at me no no I. know what I'm saying without without. kidding around you're this is you're. going out on the sea to to make your way. to make your living there's high winds.

it's very dramatic off Norway and you're. a real man doing this. uh work yeah that's like an honest day's. labor I'm kind of envious yeah because. you well I'm not envious because. Kai what I do is very similar no no I. come out here I don't know if the if the. temperature in the podcast Booth is. going to be 71 or 72. I don't know if my. if the iced tea they got me is going to. be completely unsweetened or have a.

little bit of sugar so I too am battling. the elements in my own way absolutely. I'm so happy that I'm up here in the in. the Arctic and not down there it's I'm. so glad you're what you just said so so. Kai you're just very happy that you're. that you're you and not me is that what. you're saying yeah yeah that's sort of. what I'm saying I can't imagine. prepare those problems no um well you. you mentioned that you go out.

with someone else who is this is this a. brother is it a friend who do you go out. who's your colleague well it's uh I. would rather say that he's a colleague. or like kiss a buddy more than a. colleague because we're searching. friends and his name is like in. Norwegian his name is pronounced. and uh. his name is guard Seaman yeah that's. yeah it's it's guard semen and it's the. perfect name for a guy who works in the.

ocean. no it's not actually that would be jack. fish or Billy wave it's the perfect name. for someone who wants to have a prison. guard for a child yeah I mean guard. semen is not I don't think of as the. perfect ocean-going name does he tell. people his name is guard semen not if. they're English no yeah yeah he should. switch it to Gus jizz. [Laughter]. just saying if you tell him if he comes. to like the United States make sure he.

says Gus jizz you don't want people. getting the wrong idea okay. I'll be sure to tell them that tomorrow. when he basically kicks my ass yeah all. right so your friend guard Seaman uh AKA. Gus jizz uh he goes out on the boat with. you every day. I would think two guys out on a. relatively small boat on a vast ocean. together. uh do you guys ever do you get along I.

mean because that would wear on me for a. while and I I love oh wait a minute I'm. not just seeing who's in the booth with. me yeah well no what I'm saying is I do. like you guys I like I like getting on a. boat with you I like Matt Gourley and I. and I like son of obsession but if we. were on a small boat together every day. no we we would last maybe half an hour. no how do you guys get along well the. thing is that to keep it fresh we have. installed this this fun game we do when. we're out in the ocean we put on this. like local radio channel which is called.

radio Retro so it plays like hits from. the 60s to the 90s and we have it on. full volume so when we're out working. whenever there's a song comes on the. first one to guess like the band's name. or or the like title of the song gets a. point. and that's like the way we'd like to. keep it fresh so it's a competition all. throughout the day but you do that every. day every day there's two of you bobbing. in the water and then one of you shouts. out it's the Archies Sugar Sugar and you.

high-five each other that's that's. what's keeping this together. yeah. when you say it like that you know uh. yeah well don't you make him don't make. him question this that's all he's got no. what do you mean when I say it like that. uh Kai that's what it is when you say it. like that when you guessed the song and. then you have to listen to the whole. song yeah yeah that's the best part Thin. Lizzy Boys Are Back In Town you got. another one. jizz. [Laughter].
