Greetings from Finland. Conan was big part of my childhood in 2006s. I always ran home from school to be in time to watch Late Night and the whole Finland episode was a great deal. And to this day through everything that has happened he remains the GOAT host to this 90s born kid. 💪
@@remnant24 wow, everything you say nowadays is just misinterpreted easily. Example of feel like 'claiming': When Japan/Korea went to top 16 worldcup, I'm so proud and feel like part of it though I'm not Japanese/Korean, because I feel related. p.s. Goodluck with that attitude.
@@remnant24 Well it depends I suppose. Word is not only a word, it can depend on the context and who say that (exactly same word can have different meaning/nuance). Especially nowadays with popculture, you can see other example, such as 'flex'' which dictionary meaning is completely different compared to how we use it on day to day basis (form of boasting/bragging). Also, checking my background which is Indonesian, with grim history of colonialism, subtly call me/accuse me as trying to have a slave (as you said at your first comment) is just utter ridiculous, context matter eh?
@@remnant24 Even if Peanut Butter would had said something wrong which Peanut did not, it wouldn't matter. Visa is credit card company and there's nothing wrong of getting credit card, the name of the guy in the video was Vesa who is not a credit card but human.
The title of the video is also funny because this guy literally is a roaster, a coffee roaster. Actually they won a Finnish coffee competition and gained the title: coffee roastery of the year. I regularly order coffee from them and am quite surprised to see him in this context and no coffee is mentioned.
@dejuren I live in Finland and we are a small country. Five million residents with low birth rate. Only way we are big is if we compare our surface area to other European countries, where we are the fifth largest if I remember correctly.
Those stickers are definitely supposed to be for when you are driving internationally. It gives people a heads up you might not be familiar with certain kinds of road layout, and they allow other drivers to easily judge your entire nation by your driving. Conan has probably caused all kinds of diplomatic incidents with that FIN sticker. People will assume Tarja Halonen was who they saw behind the wheel, charging bison in Roosevelt NP.
That means I have to be familiar with every country's style of driving so if I see an FIN on the back of a car, I can safely assume he'll drive like a Fin, and not like the insane drivers from California, so instead of preempting a tailgating speed demon, I have to assume he'll use his left blinker to pass and keep it blinking while passing, because that's what they do in Europe.
Visa is a funny man for sure. But I love how Conan and his chums embrace his fans and have a nice conversation! Conan is a genius comedian. The best ever period.
@@aliciahoverson That might be true - at least with people over 30. XD I don´t think that all the youngsters are drinking that heavily anymore. Or so I´d imagine/hope. :P
Saw Conan's NBC show was on '95-'96 here in Finland through a 1 year trial period of showing the NBC channel. I rejoiced when the show started airing on SubTV in 2001 for the first time for real in Finland! Big fan!
When it comes to Finland, two words matter most: sisu and SAUNA. They are the sauna capital of the world. And sisu, well, it means (as described to me by a waitress in Helsinki) balls. As in, Finns have it and you don’t. Fierce attitude of survival and resistance in the face of overwhelming odds. And by odds I mean the brutal Finnish winter and Russia. And when it comes to Russia, the Finnish winter transforms into a key ally. Sisu is one of the best descriptive terms for humans. Finns self-identify as being born with sisu. 🇫🇮
As a Finn, it's true, Conan has always said it a bit wrong :D For example when Ismo Leikola did his USA debut on his show. Glad finally someone corrected him lol. No honestly, I think it's cool that Conan started his travel episodes from Finland, he really has a big fanbase here. To me he is easily the funniest talk show host alive. He constantly invents humour on the spot, without needing to rely on a team of writers
This guy and the Opera singer are my two favourite Conan fan guests! Would love to have him back, or if Conan ever does a remote have Visa be the guide!!!
@@jattikuukunen the one where he visits Finland, after a weeks of fans asking him to go he went and did a remote, it was hilarious. I think yt doesn't have the full thing, there's segments kinda shortened, but yeah it's on here.

Ah, Conan visited a neighbouring building to my childhood home... I was walking back from school and saw this black minivan on the walkpath. I found it odd and almost decided to wait and see what was up. But it was also cold, so I went home. I was crushed, when I saw the episode and realized I was so close to meeting Conan. I don't think I've gotten over it still... :D
Finns usually need to feel like they are among friends to "open up", otherwise it'd be Smalltalk, which would make the finn turn his Koskenkorva bottle into a Molotov and smash it against his own head
New York Dolls plays on a Conan O' Brien Late Night Show and Sami Yaffa give's him a t-shirt witch says Perseenreikä! You can read this from his book "Road Bends".
Conan is our American Tarja Halonen ❤️ .. that's why Conan came to Finland because he looked like our president! Who is a woman btw. But what is a woman these days!😉 I'm from Finland and Conan was the best show on TV while high! Love & respect for one of the greatest!
(pick-up vs. "pee-cup") Finns have difficulty hearing the difference between English short i (fill) and long i (feel), because that distinction is non-existent in Finnish, as for example in Italian. The Finnish short i is like a shortened English long i, if that makes any sense. BTW, he's got a mild 'ärrä-vika' ("faulty" r-sound: LappeenRRRanta). I'd say, in a way its trill is too pronounced even for Finnish, closer to the typical French uvular r-sound.
He did a great job poking fun at Conan without coming off as rude or tryhard. This was a fun convo!
He's a life-long fan of Conan so he knew how to play with Conan's ongoing bits.
The most polite way insult conan is to be excited about Sona. Because you snub Conan, but you’re only saying nice things
Exactly. He was sassy but not abusive.
We need a monthly Finnish update from this guy.
preach
Seconded!
Absolutely
Ilman muuta!
Weekly Finnish guests!
It's so nice and humble of Conan to engage with fans and we love him for it. Don't stop being you
💯
Tänään on Suomen Itsenäisyyspäivä so Its Finnish Indepenceday today and be good people today!
It 100% keeps him fresh!
I agree! I absolutely love it! How he makes connections and shares it with all of us is wonderful 🙂
As a Finn I have to say that Matt pronounced Lappeenranta and Koskenkorva so well! The way he said R letters was so beautiful😄
Can you Finns please tell Jari Maënpäa to hurry the F up 😂
Really cool of them to post this video on the Finnish independence day!🇫🇮 And Visa represented us in the best possible way as well!
Yes, we approve. 🇫🇮
Dont underestimate.
Your country including Norway & sweden is considered a gold standard for other countries.
@@DolphinsAreBetterThanHumans Finns are perhaps not known for their modesty anymore, but the trait is still rooted deep in our culture. Mainly because of the wars.
Except he had a speech impediment and wanted to teach pronounciation.
For a split second, I genuinely thought you were talking about some campaign done by the company Visa...
I used to work with a bunch of Finns when I was in college and they had the greatest, driest sense of humor.
Sounds brilliant!
Well we are born into a cold, damp, dark and miserable place, it’s a coping mechanism.

Amazing...and on Finnish Independence Day 🇫🇮!
Pure Conan Gold❤️FIN
This guy owns a local award winning roastery/cafe in Lappeenranta, which is also my hometown! Great episode!
2:43 is the most serious I've seen Matt Gourley get on the podcast, professionalism engaged!
The Finns throw some spectacular shade in the midst of their admiration.
Conan without borders is one of my favourites ever
@dejuren I live in Finland and we are a small country. Five million residents with low birth rate. Only way we are big is if we compare our surface area to other European countries, where we are the fifth largest if I remember correctly.
A relatively large country, but sparsely populated

My favorite thing about this and him is that he's so natural and doesn't seem nervous. I'm sure he is nervous inside but it doesn't show.
Visa could be a recurring character in the Conanverse Im all here for it
I love a Finnish wise-ass!😆

I remember when Conan called Finland "the smallest of the Norwegian countries" during his interview with Craig Ferguson. Never forgave him for that.
We Finns love you Conan!! thanks for posting this on our Independence day ❤️🇫🇮
Conan, we miss you. Nice to see you here. Sincerely, Jarski, Finland.
Thank you Visa, my fellow countryman. This was a good one.
Visa is a funny man for sure. But I love how Conan and his chums embrace his fans and have a nice conversation! Conan is a genius comedian. The best ever period.
Im from finland also and this an absolute blast watching this
Ha! Always nice to see a fellow Finn representing! 😍
I agree. Samaa mieltä! :) Hyvää 105:ttä itsenäisyyspäivää! 💙🤍
I didn't want this to end! Please have Visa on again!
This guest is fantastic! 😂
I've never seen a Finn so lively 😁
Beautiful country❤️
Please come back to Finland! ;P Finnish sense of irony/humour is very compatible with Conan's brand. Ps. I don't drink alcohol and I'm a Finn. XD

@@aliciahoverson That might be true - at least with people over 30. XD I don´t think that all the youngsters are drinking that heavily anymore. Or so I´d imagine/hope. :P
Have been waiting for the video since I heard the podcast. I love this guy! Wish the clip was longer.
It doesn't matter who's on. As long as they roast Conan, Sona loves them and everything they say.
We need Conan to visit Finland again. Maybe make a poll?
Yeah man. Totally agree
I bet he will with the new HBO travel series. Maybe in the second season since he went to Norway in the first.

Yea for the crappiest cheapest moonshine bowl washing water ever!
So fun to see a Finnish guy with a (slight) speech impediment teach Finnish pronounciation. This is amazing.
This pronunciation thing bonds together so perfectly, genious if it was planned by mister "pronounce it right" just to get back. Wow Funny
This segment really gave the podcast a nice Finnish.
