14.753 - 20.368 Matt Gourley

Hi, Asiya. You've caught us at an odd time. Welcome to the show. Hello, Asiya.

0

20.568 - 22.691 Asiya

Hi. Oh, my God. I can't believe this.

0

22.711 - 49.192 Conan O'Brien

Now, Asea, 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 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. You came up to me on the street.

0

49.212 - 56.722 Conan O'Brien

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 Ostry Show.

57.383 - 57.443

Oh.

Chapter 2: How did a chicken sandwich lead to Conan's meeting with Asiya?

58.435 - 74.51 Asiya

I saw it on a trailer. I mean, the short episode of it. And I was amazed, really. Yeah. I didn't think that it would really make to the show. And I was really so shocked. But I can't believe that I talked to you again and I see you again. Yeah.

0

74.53 - 87.362 Conan O'Brien

Well, first of all, 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?

0

87.916 - 116.338 Asiya

Okay, so the story is a bit strange. I was on my way back home, but I had this strong intuition that I want some chicken sandwich. And there is a very good store or shop right next to the spot where you were with Jordan. And I was like, okay. 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.

0

117.179 - 140.521 Asiya

And I was on my way. And then I was like, something weird is happening because that's the street I walk on every day to get to my work. And it was a bit loud and it's so unusual to Vienna. And I'm like, okay, what's going on? And then I see you and I'm I was stunned, really. I was like, that's not possible. So it was such a surreal experience.

0

140.641 - 153.618 Conan O'Brien

Well, you know, I love that you, Asiya, you portray this as this instinct or this karma drew you to me. It was a chicken sandwich. That's how I got this job.

154.26 - 154.841 Asiya

Yeah, exactly.

154.881 - 170.218 Conan O'Brien

What I'm going to do from now on when I travel to other countries is just stand next to the chicken sandwich store. But Asita, 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?

170.772 - 172.814 Asiya

Exactly. Yes. Yes. Yeah.

172.834 - 195.801 Conan O'Brien

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. Were I to go to Kazakhstan 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?

Chapter 3: What unique customs surround tea drinking in Kazakhstan?

512.005 - 520.714 Conan O'Brien

Have you seen these guns? Did you look at my arm in person when we saw each other? This thing I could have. You could put a panther on this arm. I'd hold it for all day and all night.

0

523.798 - 529.363 Unknown

Why would you hold a panther all day? And all night. And all night.

0

529.423 - 534.862 Conan O'Brien

And all night. So it's a close relationship with me and the panther. You know, you ask the dumbest questions.

0

535.002 - 535.542 Unknown

I do.

0

535.662 - 538.945 Conan O'Brien

When I'm talking about having a panther perched on my arm while I'm on a horseback.

539.086 - 539.366 Unknown

Yeah.

539.386 - 542.209 Conan O'Brien

And then you come in with these insane allegations.

542.229 - 543.33 Unknown

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

543.49 - 549.415 Conan O'Brien

You took what I was saying about having a panther on my arm on horseback in Kazakhstan and then made it silly.

Chapter 4: What are the must-see places in Almaty, Kazakhstan?

620.489 - 621.993 Conan O'Brien

What do you mean, am I into rabbits?

0

622.234 - 625.001 Unknown

I think she's making this up as she goes along.

0

625.061 - 636.123 Conan O'Brien

You are so full of shit right now. This is just nonsense. Yes, you would have an ego. What would I say? I don't know. Something that people in Kazakhstan say.

0

636.144 - 637.225 Asiya

And what would we get? I don't know.

0

637.245 - 647.841 Conan O'Brien

A rabbit? What do you think? What do I think? You're talking about this. You went on and on about how Kazakhstan is so important to you and you want to write all the wrong things that have been said about Kazakhstan.

Chapter 5: What stereotypes about Kazakhstan does Asiya want to correct?

648.062 - 655.713 Conan O'Brien

You don't know shit. Come on. Your name is Claire. Maybe some olivers. Hey, Claire. Claire from Baltimore.

0

655.733 - 655.994 Unknown

Chicken.

0

658.578 - 658.918

Chicken. Chicken.

0

666.543 - 671.712 Conan O'Brien

Asiya, what are some of the unusual delicacies that we would be eating in Kazakhstan?

0

672.173 - 682.191 Asiya

Okay, so... And don't say chicken sandwich. So besides riding a horse, we can actually eat horses. So horse meat.

682.211 - 686.899 Conan O'Brien

The national dish is called... The national dish is horse meat?

686.919 - 688.061 Asiya

Yes. What's it called?

689.163 - 689.243

Yes.

689.223 - 698.72 Asiya

It's called beş parmak. And it translates into five fingers because we eat it with fingers. That's beş parmak.

Chapter 6: How does the Borat movie affect perceptions of Kazakhstan?

701.585 - 703.97 Asiya

Yes. Oh, okay. Beş parmak.

0

704.11 - 704.771 Unknown

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0

704.791 - 708.839 Conan O'Brien

That's funny. You walked in today eating horse out of a bag.

0

708.919 - 710.161 Unknown

Yeah, beş parmak.

0

710.301 - 712.685 Conan O'Brien

Yeah. It was a full head of horse.

712.886 - 712.986

Yeah.

713.675 - 733.152 Conan O'Brien

You got it at a drive-thru. Yeah. I'm curious. So you eat horse. You said, I don't want to eat the horse that I rode. That just seems like a betrayal. You know, if I just rode a horse and we got food together, I would hate to then say, I know we just caught a rabbit, but guess what, buddy? You're up.

733.132 - 744.644 Asiya

Of course, of course, that's a different horse. So, yeah, that's not the horse that you would ride. But actually, horse meat is very tasty. Is it? It's very tasty. It is. It is. That's why we eat it.

744.945 - 747.512 Unknown

Does it taste like any other kind of meat that we would know?
