Conan O’Brien recently had an intriguing conversation with a guest on his talk show. The guest, Hannah, works as a chef on yachts and has some interesting insights to share about her job. Conan was particularly curious about what it’s like to live and work on a yacht, especially in such close quarters with other people.
Hannah explains that while she hasn’t seen the reality show “Below Deck Down Under,” she has friends who watch it, and from what she gathers, it’s a somewhat dramatized version of reality. However, she confirms that living and working on a yacht is indeed challenging due to the limited space and the small group of people involved.
Conan, always inquisitive, wonders how being a chef on a yacht compares to being a chef on land. Hannah acknowledges that it can be tougher on a boat since the provisions are limited and sometimes difficult to acquire, especially when in the middle of nowhere. However, she does her best to stock up on supplies and cater to guests’ preferences and dislikes.
As Conan digs deeper, he asks Hannah about the kind of people she typically serves on yachts. Hannah replies that it’s mostly affluent individuals and rich people who own or rent the yachts. Conan jokingly wonders if she’s ever tempted to refuse some outrageous requests, but Hannah clarifies that she works in the galley and is not typically in direct contact with the guests.
The conversation takes a lighthearted turn as Conan and Hannah discuss the potential romantic relationships on a boat. Conan suggests that sharing such close quarters with attractive people of the opposite gender could lead to complicated situations. Hannah, while tactfully avoiding names, admits that there have been some absurd situations involving romantic entanglements among the crew members.
Conan seems fascinated by the life of working on a yacht and asks Hannah if she has ever crossed an ocean. Hannah mentions that she has crossed the Atlantic Ocean six times, much to Conan’s admiration. He declares that it’s a bucket list item for him and expresses his desire to experience it one day.
Towards the end of the conversation, Conan playfully wonders if he would fare well on a long Crossing. Hannah honestly replies that the confined space and the intensity of the experience might push him to his limits. They both laugh at the idea of Conan entertaining everyone and possibly turning into a pirate during the journey.
The interview with Hannah gives viewers a glimpse into the unique and challenging world of working on yachts. It’s evident that a job like this requires resilience, adaptability, and a good sense of humor. As Conan wraps up the conversation, he and Hannah agree that as long as she continues to enjoy her work, she will carry on with her career as a chef on the seas.
