1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: It's brook and Jeffrey in the morning. And there's two

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: things that really make me cringe.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna start on a strong foot here.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: Houses with less than four car garages, oh my god, Jeffrey,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: and people shamelessly bragging about themselves on social media. All right,

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: yesterday I checked my email and what do I see?

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Someone on our show? And again I'll protect their anonymity

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: because it's so cringe what they did. But somebody sent

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: out a mass email with a seven page slide show

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: gloating about our podcast rankings. I don't know if I

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: can even call it gloating.

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: The mass email was literally sent to every person in

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: this room, and that's it.

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: I just put it on story. So I'm glad this

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 3: is about Brooken.

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: I did because the first slide says ranked fifty fourth

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: in Norway.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

19
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I know how many podcasts they can access in Norway.

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: I think they top out at fifty.

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: Hey, we're beating reindeer games and that's actually reindeer's playing games.

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: That's the job. Literally never heard of it before. I

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: can't believe we're bragging about this. Jeffrey.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: There is a good thing about being proud of the

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: work that we do and.

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: Will point out the UK and Australia were also bragged

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: about because they're basically picking the whitest countries as possible.

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: So I'm just asking if we're gonna be bragging about

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: ourselves this shamelessly, let's do it a little bit more

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: diverse with these cringe PowerPoint homemade graphics.

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: We got to move on and get to the Shagar

33
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: by the end of the day. And I'm just.

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: Leaving you off of all future emails. And I can't

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: believe you actually read anything.

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: I have been asking that for many years. That would

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: be a blessing.

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: I just hope with the shot caller we stay global,

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: mix it up a bit a little less white, maybe.

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: Jake Boy. Okay, I wish I had heard about your

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: diversity initiative before this, Jeff, Why because today we're talking

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: about Finland. You're kidding me because it's Finnish Independence Day

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 3: And how much do you guys know about the country

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: of the great white North that might be Canada? Yeah, okay,

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: both of them pretty white. It's a mess, Yeah, but

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: we do know. The mobile game Sensation Angry Birds was

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: created by students In Finland, there are number one coffee

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: drinkers in the world beautiful, and every year they host

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: the Heavy Metal Championships. Oh yeah, Championship. Well, other than that,

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: you'll have to tell me as we do a special

51
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: women for Finland edition plenty of twenty, and why not

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: start with the woman whose white pride extends to Northern Europe.

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: That's sorry, I'm just reading off for scroll here. We

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: just went up twenty rankings.

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: Now in Finland, I'm exhausted by you all.

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 3: In Finland they celebrate Christmas even much different than here.

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: Family set a straw figure on fire and then clap,

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: cheer and dance around it. Who does the straw figure represent?

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: Is it Frosty the Snowman, Old Saint Nick, or Rudolph.

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this feels older than Rudolph the Red

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: Nose Reindeer because Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is like

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 2: a twentieth century tradition that was like think maybe made

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: by Coca Cola or something, you know, cartoon. Yeah, I forgot,

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: And I also feel the same about Frosty the Snowman.

65
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: He's a newer guy too, So I'm gonna go with

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: old Saint Nick. They maybe they felt like they had

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: to send smoke signals up so that.

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: He could Yeah, brook said old Saint Nick. That is correct.

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: It represents him leaving for the coldest area northern Finland,

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: and kids believe that if they are good, Santa will

71
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: return in his place the next day and leave them

72
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: a present at the door. Okay, we're over to Jose now, Okay, Jose.

73
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: Finland is known as what is it the Land of

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: a thousand faces, the Land of a thousand lakes, or

75
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: the Land of a thousand reindeer. Know how many lakes

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: there are? I know there's a bunch of reindeer up there.

77
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: Let's go Land of a thousand reindeer. Baby, Jose said,

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: land of a thousand reindeer. That is correct. They are

79
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: the land of a thousand lakes, over one hundred and

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: eighty thousand lakes. The country boasts the world's largest archipelago.

81
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: Well, they should probably call it the Land of one

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: hundred eighty eight thousand lakes. Yeah, not a little misleading.

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: Finland is tough. President Brooks still in it. Jose is out.

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: Let's go to Alexis. Alexis, please tell me what an

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: archipelago is.

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Oh, we just mentioned it a lake.

87
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 3: I think it's got something to do with lakes JA.

88
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: I need you to be a little more specific, just

89
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: a lake. Eighty eight thousand lakes.

90
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: JA.

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: An archipelago Alexis says, is eighty eight thousand lakes. That

92
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: is seven thousand. An archipelago alexis a group of islands,

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: either in a chain or closely grouped together. That's kind

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: of a lake. It's the land in between the lakes.

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: It will make the exact opposite of eighty eight thousand.

96
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: Let's move on. That's tough. Let's go to Jeffrey. Now, Jeffrey.

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: In the nineteenth century, legend has it that Finnish men

98
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: would sneak into nearby villages to steal other men's wives

99
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 3: in the middle of the night to make them their own.

100
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: They still in America. Over the years, this somehow turned

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: into a sporting contest is now held in Finland annually.

102
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: What's it called Carry the Wives?

103
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: No wonder Brook likes Finland so much. This is right

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: up her ally sorry, the wife carrying championships.

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: The wife carrying championships is corrue. Here's a picture. Anyone's

106
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 3: seen a guy carry his wife like this before. Oh wow,

107
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: Jose will start at minus one the next time we

108
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: do a Finland We're back to brook Brook. Finn's are

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: famous for one specific self care device. In fact, they

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: have so many of these they outnumber cars in their country.

111
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: What is it, dude?

112
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: I know this because my sister in law was shopping

113
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: for one over the holiday.

114
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: Adult toys No, and she's.

115
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 2: Like, listen, the Finnish people live forever.

116
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: You need to get one of these.

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: It's a dry sauna.

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: A sauna is krap. Thanks to Jeffrey, We're back to you.

119
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: Was Finland the first or last European country to allow

120
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 3: women to vote? That's not a good look. It was

121
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: either a great look or an awful look.

122
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: Jeffrey, Well, I mean, with their reputation with carrying out

123
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: other people's wives, I'm gonna say they don't really respect

124
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: women that much.

125
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say they are last. Jeffrey said Finland was

126
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: the last European country to allow women to vote. That

127
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: is correct. They finished first in nineteen oh six.

128
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 2: Wore it's one of those things where it's not for us.

129
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: If it's just that they needed more people to vote, I.

130
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: Can guarantee you all right. No credit to Finland there,

131
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: but more credit to Brook who went today. Let's see

132
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: up twenty.

133
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: So Brook gets to choose who gets shot today.

134
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: They're going to be singing. Deck the hall, don't.

135
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: Even start you. You are so getting shot.

136
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Who's you you, Jeff?

137
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: The listeners can't see who you mean, so I.

138
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: Think they knew, they knew from the tone of my

139
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: voice exactly who I was talking to.

140
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 3: Here we go, deck the halls with bows of holly.

141
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: Fa la la la, la, la, la la la, tis

142
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: the season to be.

143
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: That is your shot collar question of the day. We

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: got your call tap coming up in just a few minutes.

145
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
