Earth, a cradle for unimaginable beauty
and staggering wonder.
Incomprehensible, overwhelming,
this planet mocks our feeble power to describe it.
Yes, to truly appreciate
the astounding grandeur of this planet,
sometimes, you must defile it.
Behold, the defiler.
[slow dramatic opera music]
His character is vile,
base, and depraved.
Once a proud talk show host,
he's been driven by a changing ecosystem
to a drier and harsher climate,
the weekly podcast.
Here, without the nourishment of his studio audience,
this clown with dull, tiny eyes,
the eyes of a crudely painted doll,
is forced to feed on that meagerest of morsels,
the random call-in fan.
Unhinged by the feral scent of their mild enthusiasm,
he scavenges in distant lands,
uninvited,
fueled by a bottomless hunger for recognition
and the occasional selfie.

Hi, Conan. My name is Sebastian.
I'm calling from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Tell me a little bit about yourself, Sebastian.
I'm an artist, a painter, illustrator.
And these are my... some of my paintings.
Oh, my God.
You're really... you're really good.
- Amazing. - Those are terrific.
I'm curious. Would you ever paint me?
Oh, yeah. You are very handsome.
- Oh, that's... see? - Thank you.
There you go.
And what have you noticed about me
that stands out in a portrait?
You have, like, a chin...
like a tomato soup chin, you know?
- [laughs] - Wait.
Wait a minute. Wait.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
I have a tomato soup can chin?
The Campbell... the Campbell soup, you know?

Um, listen, just a joke, kids.
You like that kind of joking around, don't you?
- Yeah, yeah. - Isn't it funny?
Ha-ha-ha. It's a funny area.
Your father is a great artist.
And I would like to see some of your artwork in person.
- OK. - Is that possible?
Yes. The studio is upstairs.

Don't jump off that thing. You'll be killed.
What's wrong with you guys? - Let me...
What's that?

Oh, never tell people about your crimes.
That's for later on when they come and interview you

Um, you've done a terrible job. - Thank you.
There are the worst children I've ever talked to.
OK, I brought Sebastian in here,
away from those devil children
'cause I want to pitch him an idea.
Sebastian, you agreed to do a painting of me.
I'm wondering maybe
I should be with two other famous Argentinians.
Maybe if I'm with Messi in the painting
and I'm with the Pope... - Oh, nice.
It's the three of us. And I have my...
OK, yeah.
Maybe I have my arms around them.
And maybe we give it a title.
OK.
"The Sacred Sons of Argentina."
You're one of them?
I have to say, I'm very impressed.
It's been half an hour, tops.
And this is what Sebastian has come up with.
That looks fantastic. - Thank you.
You are very talented, seriously.
Thank you.
Could this be a mural?
Well...
Where people can see it.
What if we do, like... I do a painting.
Mm-hmm.
And then inspiring that painting, we do a mural.
Sure.
You have someone who can help us make this a mural?
- Yes, one of the best. - OK.
We are like the Avengers of paintings.
Oh, yeah. Which one are you? You Iron Man?
No, I'm, uh...
uh, the girl.
Oh.
I don't know what the name.
Black Widow.
Oh, I don't know. I don't know the Avengers.

So you reference the Avengers, but you don't...
- Yeah, but I don't know them. - You don't know any of them.
Thor, Thor is Avenger.
Sure. Yeah.
Superman, no.
No, you're crossing Marvel and DC.
- Oh, sorry. - That would get you...
in America, they would shoot you for that.
- Sorry. - Fantastic.
This will be a mural. - OK.
Whenever I visit a new country,
I like to learn the local customs,
so I can ignore them.
We are in downtown Buenos Aires.
Is that right? - Yes.
And this is Martina.
Martina has agreed to help me.
You're a translator. - Yeah.
I want to make sure that I understand all I need to know
about being in Argentina.
Well, people here are super friendly.
Super friendly, that's good because I'm friendly, too.
People generally kiss each other, for example,
when they say hello.
You can just say hello like,
"Hello, Conan." - Hello. Mwah.
OK, so be quick. - And that's it.
I'm gonna show you how quick it is.
Look, look. - Like that.
- Mwah. - Done.
OK. So it's like a pretend kiss.
It's like a... mmm. Like...
Yes, but you actually, like, touch each other.

From God.
What are some insults that I can use that are very, like...
people can tell, "Oh, he's really from Buenos Aires"?
- So we use a lot, boludo. - Boludo.
Yes. So it's like, "Qué boludo."
Qué boludo. What does that mean?
You know, like, such an idiot, you know, like...

Uh, we must kiss first.
[chuckling] Oh, my God.
[Conan smooches] OK.
It's OK. Just stay there.
Stay here?
What is the attitude about Americans here, in general?
It depends on the American.
So sometimes... not all of you,
but some of you are very loud...
- Abogado! - [screams]

- You've done a terrible job. - Thank you.
These are the worst children I've ever talked to.
We're not all that way.
I don't know if this is for the show,
but we had the worst dictatorships
because of the support of the American government,
not the people.
That's true in many countries too, also.
Mm-hmm, yes, especially in Latin America.
Many Latin American countries, that's true.
And you're right.
This won't make it into the show.
But sorry. I will just...
- No, no, no. No. - Stop talking about politics.
No, not because it's not true but because, you know,
we try to do... make things funny.
Yes, like, fun and...
And I've always tried to make it funny
that America's imperialist past has ruined countless...
[chuckling] Yeah.
Huge continents all around it.
I mean, my God, our track record is pretty abysmal.
But then again, so are most superpowers.
I mean, look what England did.
But again, this isn't going to make it into the show
because it's not light. - Oh, yes.
You know, it's not light and fun.
Uh-huh.
But America, England, look what the Spanish did.
I mean, my God, Spain, colonial Spain, just terrible.
I mean, what country that achieved power
didn't then misuse it
and cause a lot of misery around the world?
America is just one in a long list.
Well, this is the kind of comedy I'm doing now.
You can send my Peabody Award...

Oh, that's nice. Let's hear more about that.
What a great date this is.
[chuckling] Yes, this is.
And what happens when I leave?
Do we kiss goodbye? - Oh, so we say ciao.
Ciao.
So you have to kiss everyone when you leave a room.
- Wait. - Even if you don't know them...
Every time you leave a room, you have to kiss everyone?
Even if you don't know them, you kiss them.

After making out with all my new friends,
I decided to catch up with an old one.
Of course, Argentina is famous for meat and wine.
And I know someone who claims to be
an expert on these matters, so I brought him along.
Some of you may know him as Jordan Schlansky.
Jordan. - Yes.
Thank you for joining me.
- Thank you for having me. - Yeah.
Jordan, you and I have traveled to other countries together.
- Yes. - We've been to Japan.
Sure.
Shinto is everywhere, in us as well.
I think you're full of Shinto.
The United States.
I take issue with the way a lot of coffee bars
in the United States prepare their espresso.
I would rather watch this table spin
than listen to anything you have to say.
Where else?
- Italy. - Italy.
You want to be able to see your finger through it.
Jordan, see if you can see my finger.
But now we're here in Argentina.
I asked... - Buenos Aires.
- Yeah.
You don't have to do that.
- Yes. - Just say Buenos Aires.
I gesticulate sometimes to punctuate
the word that I speak.
I gesticulate too, a lot more when I was a teenager.
[indistinct chatter]
It's a masturbation joke.
I understand.
I think this is, uh, kind of an Argentinian barbecue place.
Yes? - You may call it barbecue.
It's a little bit ham-handed, if you will.
But I call it asado.
I was trying to explain to the viewer
that, OK, this is like barbeque.
You can call it barbecue if you like, sure.
No, I'm going to call it the correct term.
This is asado. - Yeah.
- We're having asado... - Yes.
- In Buenos Aires... - Yes.
[Spanish intonation] With an asshole.
[normally] Let's toast each other.
All right.
[glasses clink]
What were you doing with your mouth?
You went... - I was tasting this wine.
And what do you think?
It's adequate for...
this is perfectly suited to this situation.
Hey, that's great.
Let's get the owner of the restaurant over
and say, "Hey, thanks a lot. This was adequate."
Should we do that?
You know, the magic doesn't necessarily have to be
in the wine bottle.
The magic is between us, two gauchos.
Oh, then we're fucked.
[Conan laughs]
Totally fucked.
Uh, mi nombre es Conan.
- Enrique. - Enrique.
And Jor... - Yo soy Jordan.
Mucho gusto.
Tell us, uh... the meats, carnes, asada.
- Asada. - Qué tipos...
qué tipos de asada tiene usted?

[Conan chuckles]
word that you just said.
Yeah.
Mm, very good.
Culturally... - Yeah.
How familiar are you with the culture of Argentina?
- Well, I know... - We're here.
That regarding culture of the Argentines,
I'm certainly no expert.
However, I will tell you that I know that the passion
and intensity of tango is...
flows through the blood of the Argentine people.
It's on every street corner that we encounter.
- Tango. - "Tahn-go."
Tango.
It's pronounced "tahn-go."
Tango.
"Last Tango in Paris."
"Last 'Tahn-go' in Paris."
Or more accurately, "Last 'Tahn-go' in 'Paree.'"
No one's ever said,
"I just saw that movie that I don't understand.
"It's really freaking weird with Marlon Brando
called 'Last 'Tahn-go' " in 'Paree.''"
No one's ever said that. Not once.
But we just said it. We just said it.
- Not once! - No, once, right here.
We both said it. That's twice.
What do you call "Jaws," "Ja-wuz"?
No, "Jaws." That's an English word.
Yeah. ET, "Eh-tuh."
Let's go watch "Star Wars."
[Conan grunts unintelligibly]
It's OK to say tango.
Well, the word is "tahn-go."
But you can say tango.
Now, you see, this is a problem right here.
This is my biggest problem with this place.
What?
This is purified water, not spring water.
Do you know what purified water is?
Who cares?
It's vapor-distilled,
which removes all the dissolved solids, right?
So now it's a completely pure water,
which one might think is positive.
However, they realize this.
And after they vapor-distilled this water
and removed all dissolved solids,
they artificially put minerals back in.
You know, things like calcium and magnesium.
This is emulating spring water.
And my logic is just get the spring water.
You know what?
You said exactly what I was thinking.
God bless you. I was thinking the same thing.
What's this?
No minerals?
No, it has minerals. They're artificially added.
Uh, that's what I said. Artificially-added minerals?
I don't get why you can't follow this.
The minerals are removed... - That's what I said.
And they're put back in artificially.
Remove them and put them back in?
That's what I said. Remove them, put them back in?
I just want spring water that has the natural minerals.
- That's what I said. - I'll accept from 150 TDS...
I just want a spring water.
[mumbling] I don't want it removed and put it back in.
I didn't want that. - No.
That's what I said.
You just want the minerals as they occur in nature.
I want the minerals as they occur in nature.
Yeah.
Remove 'em and put them back in?
Whether it's Evian with 150 TDS
or Gerolsteiner from Germany with 20...
[heavy German accent] It's Gerolsteiner!
No, it's Gerolsteiner.
[heavy German accent] It's Gerolsteiner!
Gerolsteiner.

You know it's not Frankenstein, right?
You know, it's "Franken-schtein."
You know that, right?
[excitedly] Look.
[voice echoing in glass] Mmm.
[nasally] Nice and cold.
Well, you see, you're dulling the flavor of that wine
like you're trying to dull your own childhood pain
with that meat.
I don't mind your shenanigans with the asado.
But I really liked that.
And I don't want your disgusting slobber on it.
I know I did talk a lot about sharing in Argentine culture.
Yeah, but this is barbaric.
[pouting] I'm sorry.
And I just wanted the entraña.
And I knew out of all the five meats we have,
you have to pick that one up and decide to be funny.
So you're admitting this is funny?
[Conan laughs]
I win.

[indistinct chatter]
Look, I'm Nixon.
[jowly growling]
No one knows that reference anymore.
This is a real Argentine parilla.
Now, you're talking about coal...
- Coal. - And wood.
Why the angle, do you think, Jordan?
Well, you have to understand
the principles of thermodynamics.
Now, you understand... - I don't.
So let's just skip it.
OK.

You say tango or "tahn-go"?
Tango.

Tango! They don't say "tahn-go," you idiot!
It's "tahn-go."
It's not "tahn-go"! These people live here!
Anyhoo, we learned that it's tango, not "tahn-go."
