Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
present minute morning show. Well, welcome to the fifteen minute
morning Show. Everybody. Hi, first time ever we have a
listener joining us. How about that? Sarah? Everybody? This is Sarah.

(00:28):
How do I see your last name? No yet yet,
It's it's harder to pronounce it. If all your toien
if you if you're told are a lot of people
stay in Nora in into English? So but it is
it is. My full name is okay? How pretty? And

(00:50):
she's from Sweden, from Stockholm, right, yeah, okay. So the
reason that we are doing this today is because our
friends at Universal Yums, right Garrett. So Garrett found this
thing called Universal Yums, which explain it. I can't hear him.
Turn the microbone on there we are, all right. So

(01:11):
Universally Yums every month they send you delicious box of
treats from all over the world. So if you're a
world traveler you might know it. Or if you're you're
you're interested in traveling and saying, hey, what kind of
food or treats are in Scandinavia. You get it every month,
delivered right to your door. So my family and I
during the pandemic we started doing it with other family
members in Florida to kind of like unite and say, hey,

(01:34):
let's have some fun. And we learned some stuff about
the candy that's inside the box or stuff that we
would never try. You know, we would see it at
the airport and be like, why would I buy that?
But some of it's delicious. Others you're kind of like,
maybe not. But for the most part it's it's kind
of fun. So we do it with our family once
a month. Yeah. Well, I really enjoyed receiving the Scandinavia box.
I gotta be honest with you, Sarah. And some of

(01:54):
these things have already been eaten. The rum icing coating,
coatedunk cookie, rum icing coated cookies gone. I ate them
all in less than an hour. Wasn't so good? Okay?
I have a question. Is there like a fascination in
Scandinavia with paprika? Paprika a little bit. I love paprika.

(02:20):
I like anything spicy, so yeah, kind of yeah, we're
like saying very um, very creamy and spicy or creamy
and spicy. So okay, that's why I I'm gonna add
an eighth the Kim's American Girl potato chips with paprika
and chili. Those are gone. Those are gone. Wow, Which
I find it so funny that we're calling them American

(02:42):
grilled potato chips, Like, do you have to denote that
so people know that this is an American style food?
I think so. Yeah. In Tweed, Stockholm run from a
lot of English. Are is our second language. We speak
a universal speaking countries. We speak it was and Swediously
you thought English right early. So when you don't buy swedlid,

(03:03):
some of it will have English on it. You go
to a restaurant and maybe you will be in Swedish
and in English. So yeah, And sometimes I have conversations
with somebody my family and we speak hat Sweedish have English.
So yeah, it is very common to make up of
the language. Is there. Well, the cheesy corn pumps are fabulous.
They're better than cheetos. I gotta tell you right now.

(03:26):
I'm I'm glad. Did you guys get any Swedish fish
in there? No? Which is very disappointing. But I hear,
but I hear real Swedish fish are different than the
Swedish fish weed here? Is that correct? Yeah, it's correct.
Tweetish fresh. Here you buy the little bag and it's red.
When you go to Soco or Sweden, you you buy
the loose candy that sometimes the grocery stores here you

(03:48):
could buy loose candy. Well, the Swedish fish in Sweden
is a little is a little figure and there's different
different colors orange, yellow, green, Uh, you know, and they're
just takes a little first. Okay, I think Brody's trying
to join the zoo. Can you hear us Brody putting
up the cookies? You know? What's good is these small

(04:09):
tron volas? What are these? These are wild strawberry toffee? Okay,
we are not good toffee? There carbo and toffee, which
is good? Um? Now is it all over from it? Just?
Did you get candy from other canny countries to ing here?
From Denmark? I saw because there's a book there you
can flip through to kind of see. Awkward. I feel

(04:29):
like I'm eating kind of healthy with the Karen wolf
oat cookies with cocoa filling. They're not healthy, but they're
so good. I hate an entire package too. What are
these things? These are? These are not crims? It's cookie though,
m this is fantastic. We're just eating, we're not even

(04:53):
doing anything. I'll talk someone nobody asked or something about Sweden, right,
I mean, the stupid, easy, obvious question is is everybody
they're blonde? I know that they're not, but you're blonde blond.
That's so funny because you guys are listened. I listened
earlier about that blonde. That blonde hair is out. Now

(05:18):
I have both real one hair and I have a
side part. But yeah, no, not every Scandinavian is blond.
My parents my mom has brownie here in green. I
have a blue eye blaw here. My brothers talked dark
hair in blue eyes. So it's all different. It's really
like Italy. Is there an Ia on every corner? Uh?

(05:39):
There's a well at first? Ikia started Stockholm years ago
and I remember going there and I was a little
kids and yeah, just about yeah. I have a question
which I'll ask the room and see if you know
the answer. Which of these companies started in Denmark Ikea, Nokia,
Spotify or Lego Legos. I would say Sarah and Scotty

(06:05):
are correct, of course, so there we go. H Yeah,
Lego from Danish Legt meaning play well. I didn't know that.
I didn't know it meant play well, I just meant
it and lego, oh, I know what do Swedish people
think of Americans? Be honest, now, well that's a great question. Um,

(06:27):
they think America is cool and everything. But they laughed
as like the company's vacation policy because we have a
lead sweet and they have more LEGI lean time off
so you could take it a whole to months just
to travel. We only have like six hours workdays now.
So um, but if I said my my family to

(06:50):
travel all the time, they asked me to come and
I tell him I can't. Then they laughed because oh,
you only get five days off or two weeks off.
It's crazy. Favorite is if we go visit our friends
in Europe. We're usually there for maybe a weekend or
four or five days. When our European friends come to
tell you with us they're here for like a month,
I'm like, I don't want you you know what you

(07:11):
hear that long? It's like you can stay here for
a weekend, then you gotta get your ass out of
Here's another country. More of a family, and you know,
they think that you can be more productive, you know,
having more leisure time. Yeah. I know somebody that works

(07:32):
at radio station in Norway and they had a child
like three years previously and he was taking his parental
leave for what I think it was nine months or
something and yeah, and he goes, yeah, you can take
it whenever, within like five years of the child being born.
I'm like what, And it's that's awesome, Like like nobody

(07:54):
can say anything like that's it. You could just do it.
It's mandated by the government. It's it's crazy you think
about it. Why should people say anything you're raising a
child exactly agree, and I think you should have plenty
of time off both parents to take care of a
little baby. But you know how it is in America.
American Americans are afraid to take their vacations. They're afraid
someone else is going to move into their lane. And
then yeah, they'll be necessary. I'm gonna start doing I'm

(08:17):
gonna take more vacation so you guys can move into
my lane. I'm gonna move to stal Com. Bye. There
you're about to say you're about to have a baby.
My dog, My dog just ate one of the jalopeno popcorns.
I can't out the question that that we can learn
which of the following is a real competition in Finland.

(08:37):
Loudest scream, longest nose blow, sharpest knife or cell phone throwing.
Actually it is cell phone throwing is a real competition
in Finland. Who made that? Yeah, and she's from Sweden.
It's a different places. Can I be honest about something?

(08:59):
So when I went to Sweden, I actually went to Sweden.
I went to Stockholm. This is what five years ago now, beautiful,
one of the cleanest places I've ever been. Not one
piece of trash, not a cigarette, but nothing on the sidewalks.
And I remember being on the tram going from the
plane to the airport terminal, and I saw a man

(09:19):
who was the most attractive man I've ever seen in
my entire life, and I just for a second, I'm like, Wow,
I wonder would be like to be with that man
because he was so unbelievably he had the most perfect features.
And then it just continued throughout my entire time in Stockholm.
The people were some of the most attractive people I've

(09:40):
ever seen anywhere. Was it because they look like I
don't know what it was like, like the facial features
and everything, Like I saw a girl outside of a
drug store smoking a cigarette on her cigarette break, and
she I'm like, this girl could be a model. Are
people like me shouldn't go to Stockholm? I didn't. I

(10:04):
didn't say that out very bad there. Nat has only
described a guy like this one other time. Like, I
know he's he's being honest because when he talked about
Zack Afron, he was so like just talking about Zack
Affron the same way he was talking about the guy.
I still if I closed you guys, ever had that
person that you suffer just a second in your life

(10:24):
and you can still remember years later, this is that guy.
I can close my eyes and I can see him.
He had these perfect argyle socks on perfect. We really
have been talking about this for a long time. I
just wanted to talk about this guy. Hey, Sarah, you
know what I love. I've only been into scanning, even
scanning even countries several times in my life, but one

(10:46):
thing I always loved it, no matter how warm or
cold it was. People loved to be in the outdoors.
People love to go for a walk, People love to
go out on picnics, leisurely bike rides, ice fishing, whatever
you want to do. I love it to People love
being outdoors there because it's such a beautiful place, right, Yeah,
we are very absolutely people if you go to start

(11:08):
from most people write their bibs to Ransum all the time,
even Nicole or they're very We like the Askloords. You
like the fresh air. The only those in the winter
time it gets stark for early in like three spot,
but the summer sun set pen or from thirty at MIT,
so it's just it's like daylight. It's always a plastic white. Well,

(11:30):
I want to get on a plane. But if you
can't get on the plane and go today, you can
eat their snacks Nate and Scared. Did you just have
the chocolate chocolately chocolate cookie dough balls? Had one and
he tasted like I was eating French toast from it.
It was so good. There we go, chocolate chocolate eat. Hey.

(11:52):
You know when we do this this next when we
do talk about the English stuff, I think we should
have Danielle's husband on Oh yeah is so funny. I
followed him on Instagram. He's so funny. Thank you. He's
definitely very odd. We love him too. That's why we
love them. Is hilarious. Uncle Johnny trying to sign the

(12:22):
So what is once again? You know? Um, Garrett turned
us onto universal lums. They yum. They take you around
the world with all the snacks. This is why every
time I travel anywhere, Sarah, I love going to the
local grocery stores and just piling up on all the
snacks you can take home. It's great. Well here, it's
so funny to me. It's like an alien is trying

(12:44):
to tap into our feed Listen, is there anything else
you want to tell Sarah about eating our wonderful foods
from Scandinavia, things that we could actually create or find
in our own stores here in the States. Yeah, we
have a lot of food that's good. We eat a
lot of cucumbag jail shrimp pieces. But we also eat
and I need to say, I don't eat it personally. Um,

(13:04):
they eat reindeer. We eat a lot all of all
kinds of meat with that. But if you go to Stockholm,
there's a place called the Old Town. It's such as
the oldest school of village. It's in the castle and
they have tons of restaurants and stores are that everything
is really delicious. Um. I just recommend traveling there once,
you know, I especially Stockholm and then just traveling up
north you you can see the Northern Lights tweet and

(13:26):
connects to Norway, so you could go to Norway and
they go down to Sweet and it's really nice. So
the best time he goes in the summer, it's in
the spring. In the summer you can be on the
water and the boat, you know, and experience. But yeah,
everybody should given a try. Not just the meatball tweets
meetball that y the way and I want sweet sweet

(13:50):
as meatballs are never served on top of egg noodles.
They're so like that. They aren't going that. But just
there the potatoes in this uh this this chutne sauce
is berry that you can't get here. It's called Barry.
I'm talking about them yesterday. Yeah, it's really funny. We've
had the Lincoln Berry conversation every day this week and
that kind of strange. Strange. Sarah, thank you so much
