You know we've been doing thistravel trivia throughout the
(00:44):
year and I am not a fan of liketrivia I don't know, probably
because I feel like I wouldnever know all the answers Any
of the answers, I don't know,and so I've just never been a
big trivia person, but I was,you know, we did them anyway and
we called it dumb because weweren't doing a whole lot with
it and because I'm not a bigtrivia, I'm not into trivia.
(01:06):
But I was kind of just glancingat the rest of the cards,
because we have like this wholestack of cards of from this
travel trivia game that we gotand I was like you know what
this is actually likeinteresting stuff, like you
actually learn stuff when you dothis trivia, and so and I was
looking through some of them, Ithought it was interesting.
I was like you know what, let'sjust do like a little dumb
(01:29):
super speed trivia.
And we were I was talking withmy wonderful friend, sami, who
is in Finland, and I thoughtSami would be so fun to join us.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
So not only does he have to think about the actual
answer to the question, but hehas to think about them in
English, and so this is likedouble challenge for Sami.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Not for that brain of his, the massive brain in that
head of his.
He's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, he is.
First, rory and I are now inKentucky.
We've been traveling to get toKentucky to be with my parents
for Christmas and so we had that.
We have the cats with us and wehad one night in a hotel, and
so that was yesterday morning.
So, rory, let's talk about howthe yesterday morning in the
hotel went.
We have the two cats and sofirst Ellie decided she had to
(02:33):
do her meow kind of thing, andit's like we're in a hotel and
that's a really loud cat meow.
We were able to kind of stopher, but she was kind of the
first interesting noise.
And then had the guy outsidespeaking spanish on his phone
right outside our door.
That was really lovely, andthen loudly.
And then what else?
(02:53):
There were other things.
Then the fire alarm goes off inthe hotel.
Oh, but before that, I'm sorry,before that we had a car
outside our window.
The car was parked rightoutside our window and it was
playing music and it was so loudfrom their car and it was
making our room vibrate, and sowe had this loud music from the
(03:15):
car.
Then the fire alarm went off inthe whole hotel and so then
that went off and Rory wastrying to sleep through all of
this.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I managed it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, he just kind of turned his head the other way.
I lay on my left side so thatmy right ear, which was the ear
that was injured years ago,doesn't hear nearly as much.
So you know, then I cancontinue sleeping.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Mm-hmm, so he's sleeping.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The fire alarm and all this music.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Then our cat Mozzzie was starting to meow a little
bit, and but anyway, so that wasour quiet morning yesterday,
and nice, restful morning, yeah,especially when I'm trying to
get enough sleep so I can getover a cold.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And then all this stuff is happening, but and
sleep enough, sleep to drive,but anyway.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Sami, you have to know this because you're next
door.
What is the Swedish name forhot or cold dishes served as a
buffet?
Actually, I really should have.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
My last name is Swedish.
So if I screw this one buffet,oh Actually I really should have
.
My last name is Swedish.
So if I screw this one up.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, come on, man, come on the name of a Swedish
buffet, or what the Swedish calla buffet, a food buffet.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Now we actually use this word in English.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Oh, I know what it is then we have adopted it in
English.
I know what it is.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And so it might not be.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
My guess is it starts with an S Sami oh Sma.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And it's like a big board of food.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yes, we say I have, we pronounce it, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Smarges board is how we pronounce it Smarges board is
how it's spelled.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Smarges board.
Smorgasbord is how we pronounceit.
Smorgasbord is how it's spelledsmorgasbord.
I haven't ever heard that, butI I, I suck in swedish, so so
that could be the reason forthat yeah, oh man, I think.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I think it's probably that even the swedish might not
use it very often, but it'ssomething as americans have
adopted.
I don't think we even knew itwas Swedish.
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
But just to get my background, I was in Sweden, I
was playing a gig over there andI tried to use my Swedish and I
asked who is the clock they?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
laughed me out of there.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Who is the clock?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
What does that?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
mean, what did you?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
think you were asking .
I tried to ask what is the time, so I pretty much I ask that
who, who is the time or who isthe clock?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
so I I haven't used my swedish since, yeah, yeah
well, I can understand, yeah,and and yeah, for those of you
listening, if you grow up infinland like Sami, did you have
to learn Swedish?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Some Swedish anyway in school.

big trivia person, but I was,you know, we did them anyway and
we called it dumb because weweren't doing a whole lot with
it and because I'm not a bigtrivia, I'm not into trivia.
(01:06):

because we have like this wholestack of cards of from this
travel trivia game that we gotand I was like you know what
this is actually likeinteresting stuff, like you

We've been traveling to get toKentucky to be with my parents
for Christmas and so we had that.
We have the cats with us and wehad one night in a hotel, and
so that was yesterday morning.
So, rory, let's talk about howthe yesterday morning in the
hotel went.
We have the two cats and sofirst Ellie decided she had to
(02:33):
do her meow kind of thing, andit's like we're in a hotel and
that's a really loud cat meow.
We were able to kind of stopher, but she was kind of the
first interesting noise.
And then had the guy outsidespeaking spanish on his phone
right outside our door.
That was really lovely, andthen loudly.
And then what else?
(02:53):
There were other things.
Then the fire alarm goes off inthe hotel.
Oh, but before that, I'm sorry,before that we had a car
outside our window.
The car was parked rightoutside our window and it was
playing music and it was so loudfrom their car and it was
making our room vibrate, and sowe had this loud music from the
(03:15):
car.
Then the fire alarm went off inthe whole hotel and so then
that went off and Rory wastrying to sleep through all of
this.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I managed it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, he just kind of turned his head the other way.
I lay on my left side so thatmy right ear, which was the ear
that was injured years ago,doesn't hear nearly as much.
So you know, then I cancontinue sleeping.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Mm-hmm, so he's sleeping.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The fire alarm and all this music.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Then our cat Mozzzie was starting to meow a little
bit, and but anyway, so that wasour quiet morning yesterday,
and nice, restful morning, yeah,especially when I'm trying to
get enough sleep so I can getover a cold.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And then all this stuff is happening, but and
sleep enough, sleep to drive,but anyway.
