Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's brook and Jeffrey in the morning. And there's two
things that really make me cringe.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Okay, I'm gonna start on a strong foot here.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Houses with less than four car garages, oh my god, Jeffrey,
and people shamelessly bragging about themselves on social media. All right,
yesterday I checked my email and what do I see?
Someone on our show? And again I'll protect their anonymity
because it's so cringe what they did. But somebody sent
(00:31):
out a mass email with a seven page slide show
gloating about our podcast rankings. I don't know if I
can even call it gloating.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The mass email was literally sent to every person in
this room, and that's it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I just put it on story. So I'm glad this
is about Brooken.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I did because the first slide says ranked fifty fourth
in Norway.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I know how many podcasts they can access in Norway.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I think they top out at fifty.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Hey, we're beating reindeer games and that's actually reindeer's playing games.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
That's the job. Literally never heard of it before. I
can't believe we're bragging about this. Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
There is a good thing about being proud of the
work that we do and.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Will point out the UK and Australia were also bragged
about because they're basically picking the whitest countries as possible.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So I'm just asking if we're gonna be bragging about
ourselves this shamelessly, let's do it a little bit more
diverse with these cringe PowerPoint homemade graphics.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We got to move on and get to the Shagar
by the end of the day. And I'm just.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Leaving you off of all future emails. And I can't
believe you actually read anything.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I have been asking that for many years. That would
be a blessing.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I just hope with the shot caller we stay global,
mix it up a bit a little less white, maybe.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Jake Boy. Okay, I wish I had heard about your
diversity initiative before this, Jeff, Why because today we're talking
about Finland. You're kidding me because it's Finnish Independence Day
And how much do you guys know about the country
of the great white North that might be Canada? Yeah, okay,
(02:17):
both of them pretty white. It's a mess, Yeah, but
we do know. The mobile game Sensation Angry Birds was
created by students In Finland, there are number one coffee
drinkers in the world beautiful, and every year they host
the Heavy Metal Championships. Oh yeah, Championship. Well, other than that,
(02:37):
you'll have to tell me as we do a special
women for Finland edition plenty of twenty, and why not
start with the woman whose white pride extends to Northern Europe.
That's sorry, I'm just reading off for scroll here. We
just went up twenty rankings.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Now in Finland, I'm exhausted by you all.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
In Finland they celebrate Christmas even much different than here.
Family set a straw figure on fire and then clap,
cheer and dance around it. Who does the straw figure represent?
Is it Frosty the Snowman, Old Saint Nick, or Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm gonna say this feels older than Rudolph the Red
Nose Reindeer because Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is like
a twentieth century tradition that was like think maybe made
by Coca Cola or something, you know, cartoon. Yeah, I forgot,
And I also feel the same about Frosty the Snowman.
He's a newer guy too, So I'm gonna go with
(03:32):
old Saint Nick. They maybe they felt like they had
to send smoke signals up so that.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He could Yeah, brook said old Saint Nick. That is correct.
It represents him leaving for the coldest area northern Finland,
and kids believe that if they are good, Santa will
return in his place the next day and leave them
a present at the door. Okay, we're over to Jose now, Okay, Jose.
Finland is known as what is it the Land of
(04:01):
a thousand faces, the Land of a thousand lakes, or
the Land of a thousand reindeer. Know how many lakes
there are? I know there's a bunch of reindeer up there.
Let's go Land of a thousand reindeer. Baby, Jose said,
land of a thousand reindeer. That is correct. They are
the land of a thousand lakes, over one hundred and
eighty thousand lakes. The country boasts the world's largest archipelago.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Well, they should probably call it the Land of one
hundred eighty eight thousand lakes. Yeah, not a little misleading.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Finland is tough. President Brooks still in it. Jose is out.
Let's go to Alexis. Alexis, please tell me what an
archipelago is.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, we just mentioned it a lake.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I think it's got something to do with lakes JA.
I need you to be a little more specific, just
a lake. Eighty eight thousand lakes.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
JA.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
An archipelago Alexis says, is eighty eight thousand lakes. That
is seven thousand. An archipelago alexis a group of islands,
either in a chain or closely grouped together. That's kind
of a lake. It's the land in between the lakes.
It will make the exact opposite of eighty eight thousand.
Let's move on. That's tough. Let's go to Jeffrey. Now, Jeffrey.
(05:15):
In the nineteenth century, legend has it that Finnish men
would sneak into nearby villages to steal other men's wives
in the middle of the night to make them their own.
They still in America. Over the years, this somehow turned
into a sporting contest is now held in Finland annually.
What's it called Carry the Wives?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
No wonder Brook likes Finland so much. This is right
up her ally sorry, the wife carrying championships.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The wife carrying championships is corrue. Here's a picture. Anyone's
seen a guy carry his wife like this before. Oh wow,
Jose will start at minus one the next time we
do a Finland We're back to brook Brook. Finn's are
famous for one specific self care device. In fact, they
have so many of these they outnumber cars in their country.
(06:06):
What is it, dude?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I know this because my sister in law was shopping
for one over the holiday.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Adult toys No, and she's.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Like, listen, the Finnish people live forever.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You need to get one of these.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It's a dry sauna.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
A sauna is krap. Thanks to Jeffrey, We're back to you.
Was Finland the first or last European country to allow
women to vote? That's not a good look. It was
either a great look or an awful look.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Jeffrey, Well, I mean, with their reputation with carrying out
other people's wives, I'm gonna say they don't really respect
women that much.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'm gonna say they are last. Jeffrey said Finland was
the last European country to allow women to vote. That
is correct. They finished first in nineteen oh six.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Wore it's one of those things where it's not for us.
If it's just that they needed more people to vote, I.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Can guarantee you all right. No credit to Finland there,
but more credit to Brook who went today. Let's see
up twenty.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So Brook gets to choose who gets shot today.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
They're going to be singing. Deck the hall, don't.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Even start you. You are so getting shot.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Who's you you, Jeff?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
The listeners can't see who you mean, so I.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Think they knew, they knew from the tone of my
voice exactly who I was talking to.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Here we go, deck the halls with bows of holly.
Fa la la la, la, la, la la la, tis
the season to be.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That is your shot collar question of the day. We
got your call tap coming up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
