Aaron Rodgers girlfriend Olivia Munn talks up Wisconsin meat market on 'Conan'

Olivia Munn, the actress girlfriend of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, gave "Conan" viewers across the nation a glimpse into the Wisconsin way of living during Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show on TBS Tuesday night.

Up for discussion: The concept of putting meat on hold at the meat market, and living in cold temperatures in Green Bay.

Munn, a Hollywood actress who was born in Oklahoma, was on "Conan" to promote her role in the new Johnny Depp movie "Mortdecai". But she also gave an unexpected boost to the old-fashioned meat market Maplewood Meats in Howard.

She mentioned that she'd recently declined to take part in a business call at 4 p.m. because she had to make it to Maplewood to pick up meat before the market closed.

Maplewood is a family-owned meat processing facility established in 1983. It has an 85-foot meat case and offers specialty sausages, gourmet products, venison and other custom slaughtering and processing for local farmers.

Maplewood plant manager Brad Van Hemelryk, a regular "Conan" watcher, knew that Munn stops in almost weekly during the Packers season to pick up meat, especially steaks. But he still was surprised to hear Munn mention the plant on the show. He said he received lots of compliments Wednesday after Munn mentioned the plant.

"We're getting a lot of nice compliments, just kind of reconfirming the unique shopping experience we offer of you picking it out and we're wrapping it," Van Hemelryk told the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

During the show, Munn also told viewers she loves Green Bay and has become used to the cold temperatures, with a little help from warm jackets and heated car seats.

The actress confessed she didn't know who Rodgers was when she first met him.

"I had no idea," she told O'Brien. "When I met him, I said, 'So, what do you do?' He said, 'Oh, I play football.' I said, 'Cool! What college?'

"He's like, 'Oh, no, I play professional.' I go, 'Cool. What position?' He's like, 'quarterback.' 'Cool.'"

She admitted she was more focused on how hot he was.

"All I saw was that he was, like, really attractive. I didn't really care what he did," she confessed. " 'You're such a big man.' "

You can watch the Jan. 20, 2015, episode of Conan featuring Munn on TBS' website. Munn's section starts about 15 minutes in. Or you can skip a few minutes of commercials and watch the four-minute Munn segment from "Conan" on YouTube.

Aaron Rodgers has game; Olivia Munn had no idea who he was

I'm not an NFL quarterback, but I imagine that life goes something like this: Say you're an NFL quarterback, land the gorgeous girl. This goes with decades of beautiful tradition, from Joe Namath to Tom Brady.

I assumed that's how Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers started dating actress Olivia Munn. Or that their agents set it up, or however famous people in Hollywood start dating anyone. But no, Munn says she had no idea who Rodgers was when she first met him, and definitely did not know he was a famous football player.

"I had no idea," Munn said on "Conan" with Conan O'Brien. "When I met him I said, So what do you do? He said, Oh, I play football. I go, Cool, what college? Hes like Oh, I play professional. I say Cool, what position? Hes like, Quarterback. Cool. That was kind of it."

So if it wasn't Rodgers' MVP award or his Super Bowl ring or the great work he does discount double-checking on television ads, why was Munn attracted to Rodgers?

"All I saw is that he was really attractive," Munn said. "I didnt care what he did."

Well done.

Munn also spoke to Conan about enjoying life in Green Bay ("I love it in Green Bay," the famous actress said. "Its really comfortable there.") and things like putting off a conference call to go pick up meat at Maplewood Meats in Green Bay. I'm curious as to what seemed stranger, Munn dropping by the meat market for venison or whatever she was getting, or the looks on the locals' faces when the movie actress stops in.

Munn might be well known but in Northeast Wisconsin, it's her boyfriend who would get all the looks in public. He's in little danger of anyone else there not recognizing him or knowing what he does.
