Um, I don't really know if I've gone, and this is the Amsterdam.
It's my friend pooping in the hotel.

Because that was the bathroom wall.
My bed's on the other side.
I was like, dude, I know what you're doing in there.
And he's like, what do you mean?
And I was like, I'll show you.
This is a flugger for, flugherg.

And then just...
Yeah, out in the open.

Swedish protester Joe Lutz.
All right, all right, wait, let's start.
We're here with Dan Soder.
Hey, how are you doing?
All right, we'll go through these.
Yeah.
Well, let's just do it.
What is this?
You went to Sweden?
Yeah, I went to summer of 2018.
It was the only time of my life I've ever done like a...
Summer 2018, yeah.
I did like an eat, pray, love thing.
It was the only time of my life where I was like a white lady.
I was in Nashville doing Zanis
And I looked up Queens of the Stone Age's tour schedule
And they were playing in Stockholm, Sweden
And I'd seen, I've seen them a lot
And I was like, dude, my family, my dad's family is from Sweden
Yeah
It's where Soder comes from
It's actually Soder
It's Souter, I mean south, I think, with an obloat
Whenever I try to say it's Swedish
They always correct me
I've never got any correct
I've been like suitor and they're like
Sidette
and they're like suitor and like say yeah
So I don't know
I need to learn how to do it
One point in white immigration
Were the Norse people like
Hey what the fuck are they doing here
Oh I think
I don't know
I think
Scandinavians are very
Boring
No they're like
They're not as animated
Right
Like
I feel like their history
Is being in the old west
While the Cowboys come by
Like we're gonna just
do stuff to your
family oh what no man i think scandinavians those are all vikings and shit yeah but the ones that came to
america oh they like settled down and made like a candy shop yeah in madison or something well my
my family moved to san francisco they went stockholm and then jumped to san francisco that's where my
grandpa was born grandpa grandpa so you just went to the fucking this for that no i wanted to go see queens
at the stone age and then i was like i called my friend mike and i was like do you want to go to
Stockholm sweet you know I was like we should do a trip me and you should go to
Stockholm and then I talked to Lou Whitsky at the bonfire and Lou was like oh I'm
gonna be in Amsterdam four days later seeing Pearl Jam and I so we turned it into
that guy's in a Pearl Jam? This is life's work so he I love Lou you know it's his
life's work it's his it's his Magnum Opus he um so we did Sweden we go see Queens
of the Stone Age in Sweden and
spend four days, go down to Amsterdam, do four days, and then fly to Reykavik and do three
days, two and a half days in Reykovic, and then fly back to New York.
Okay.
So that's what we did.
So Stockholm was the first four days of the trip.
We stayed in an awesome hotel downtown.
It was June, so it was like light late.
Nice, nice.
Because they're northern hemisphere.
So you're getting a lot of that.
How late?
Like it went to dusk around like.
10, 30, 11 p.m.
If I remember correctly.
Nice.
So it was cool.
It was, and Sweden is beautiful.
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
The girls.
Everything about Sweden's beautiful.
Okay.
I love Sweden.
I just went Stockholm.
I want to go to other places next time.
The language, I'm not going to, I'll never learn it.
I'm too stupid to learn Swedish.
But it's extra things.
It's, we don't even have them.
It's almost like singing.
Like, you know how singers can do that?
like the way they talk is they're like
I don't I can't do that move
I don't know how you it's like a it's like a word kickflip
I can't even Ollie and you want me to be like slow that down
what here's what's what's crazy is my friend Mike bought me
you know their their flag is blue and yellow but then
they also have the crown the three crowns uh-huh that's like kind of their
logo what is that for the for the previous kings okay shout out the Viking kings king and by the way we're
just doing that because it's so ridiculous that we will never learn that we can't we're too dumb
to learn your language yeah it's called the Kroner yeah that sounds right is that Denmark
maybe they all have that I don't fucking know we're gonna get killed because this means something
This is like us.
That's like someone fucking up the United States in Mexico and being like, well, you guys are like sister states.
And you're like, what?
What?
Like they, there's heat there.
Yeah.
Like real century old problems.
So my friend bought me this Swedish shirt and I wore it on a couple podcasts and people are like, do you even know what that?
Like Norwegian people were like, do you know what that means?
And you're like, no.
All I know is my grandpa came and lady here.
and now I go by Daniel Soder
It's Kronasek
Or whatever
It's the three crowns
Okay yeah
He bought you what
One of those
He's probably a T-shirt
There's Mike
Wait wait wait let me see this
So these are pictures
This is the first night I was there
Damn cool
Yeah it's just the architecture
Wait wait wait wait
This is in Stockholm
That's cool
What is this place
What is this place?
What's the industrial place over there
And then the old style
Yeah like a
Almost like a neighborhood
mixed with...
It looks like a glitch.
A scrap yard?
Yeah.
I don't even know where else to...
This is how dumb of an American I am.
Oh, there we go.
Same shot.
Yeah, same shot.
Oh, color corrected.
Yeah.
So it's like a little square
and they're doing construction on a bridge.
Okay, well, in their downtown.
They have Coca-Cola there.
Isn't that wonderful?
God, my picture's really showing me
how stupid of an American area.
He doesn't happen to be gone.
I'm like, oh, look it is.
There's a castle in the city.
This is a little bit.
Yeah, it looks like a fucking Madonna's cone tit.
But it was beautiful there.
Yeah.
Like the alleyways and like that kind of stuff.
That's cool.
It's like I've been to London and I've been to London.
But it was like a European in a different style that I really liked.
It feels weird, right?
Yeah.
Sweden is really cool.
The people there are very nice.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You know, like outgoing or just like a...
They're just like, they're not in your shit.
They're just like, hello?
like agreeable
cool
it's there
like I've been to
Holland
gave me the energy
that we give people
in Times Square
that's how it felt
with all the Dutch people
in Amsterdam
what just like
yeah yeah
red red light district
yeah like the way we're like
yeah fucking Eminem store
Times Square cool
you're not going to anything cool here
that was the feeling
I got when I was in Amsterdam
from the locals
Stockholm, I caught the syndrome, baby.
You loved it.
What'd you do?
Tell me what you did all day.
Went to the Viking Museum.
Yeah.
That's where I saw a protester Joe list.
Oh, that guy.
Yeah, that was at the museum.
But then we went to the Vasa Museum.
What is that?
The Vasa Museum is a warship from, I think, the 17th century.
Yeah.
Giant wooden ship.
Oh, let me see that one.
And they have it reconstructed.
You can't walk inside the ship, but you can walk around it and look inside and shit.
And it was...
Damn, that's Viking as fuck.
It was really fucking cool.
Whoa.
That's the...
Master of it.
It's the front of it.
Those are the sails.
How big is that?
It's fucking huge, dude.
It is huge.
Like, walking around it, you're like, this is a massive ship.
I've only seen shit like this...
And you can't go on?
Fuck, I'd want to go on.
No, because it's old.
God.
It's old as hell.
But they rebuilt it in this museum.
And then they have this video you can watch on why it sank.
Yeah.
And it's because of a technical error.
It wasn't even like a war.
Oh, really?
It's such a bummer of a video.
Because you're like, that's it.
That's what took this thing out.
And then these were all these little boats.
I think this might be Amsterdam.
Wait, why does Stockholm rule so much?
I really liked it, dude.
I really liked it because it was really clean.
Yeah.
Everything was like I was there in June
So everything was green
Everyone was very nice
Like what did you how did you get into it people
We would go to we went to restaurants
Billions apparently is popular in Sweden
People are coming up and saying hello
And so like we recognize you from it
Yeah
Wow
Probably more than anywhere I've been out of country
That's cool
Yeah it was pretty weird
Yeah what's up
Milletians
Hey everybody

Dan Soder
He is legitimately one of the best comics in the world.
He makes me die laughing every time I see him at the stand.
He's never on at the cell at the same time.
He goes early.

And on the road.

that. You're going to enjoy it. And I'm not saying he's safe. I'm just saying like, he's not
like me and Adrian. He's not going to make you mad. He's just going to lead you down a great path
and have a great time. He's just awesome. He's just an awesome comic.

the story. So we
the first night, we just like went
out, had dinner,
whatever. Second day, we went to
the Vikings exhibit at the museum, and then we went to the
Vasa Museum. So we went to two museums in a day,
And then at night we got a great dinner, got some seafood, and then my friend Mike was getting drunk.
Food Jack started getting a little like, started throwing them back.
And I didn't have weed.
I didn't travel with weed, but I traveled with a couple of tutsi rolls that were edibles.
So I was like, oh, I'll eat an edible.
Those have come to so much.
I know the ones you're talking about.
I've come to so many countries and back with me.
Vecchio took it to Japan in A1 and almost had to go to an emergency room in Tokyo.
But I had those Tutsi rolls
And I was like, great, I'll eat a Tutsi roll.
So I ate a Titsy roll and I went to a bar with him.
Yeah.
And it was fine.
And then I was like, we went back to his room and watched American Dad on his, he had like a new laptop.
So I was like, this is awesome.
And then I was like, I'm going to go to bed.
And I was like, I'll see you in the morning.
And he kept being like, oh, well, maybe we should go out to the bar.
And I'm like, nah, man, it's like 11.30.
We'll wake up and do stuff.
This is day one?
It's day two.
Day two going into day three.
Day three is the concert.
So I'm like, hey, we'll do some stuff in the morning
and then we'll go to the concert.
And he's like, great.
So I wake up, this hotel had an awesome breakfast.
Like a buffet, go through.
It was fucking incredible.
Went through twice.
How much?
And part of this day.
Oh, okay.
It's in the bill for the hotel.
How much is a hotel?
High level, mid level.
Mid level.
Okay.
Good room.
I would look it up again.
I would stay back there if I went back to Stockholm.
Because it was like a really nice room, enjoyed everything about it.
Breakfast was awesome.
So I eat breakfast.
I'm like, if I got, I'll get seconds.
Where the fuck is Vujek?
I'm like, waiting there.
I'm like, all right, I go get a coffee from down the street, come back.
I get my laptop.
I go downstairs.
I write for 45 minutes.
Just like writing jokes, waiting.
Put my laptop back.
Finally, when I put my laptop back, I knock on the door.
And Foojack comes to the door and he opens it up.
And he's like, hey.
And I'm like, well, I'm like, what?
What's up, dude?
It's like 11.30.
And he's like, yeah.
He goes, I went to let out.
That's what it was.
The night before he kept going, let's go to let out.
What's let out?
And I was like, he kept saying let out.
What's let out?
But he was drunk.
He was like, let's go to let out.
And I was like, I know what getting the let out is.
Is that what he said?
Let's let the let out?
He kept saying let out.
And I was like, I really have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
He meant when the bar lets out.
but he was drunk.
I went till they closed the bar?
No, but that night before, he kept going,
let's go to let out.
And I didn't get what he meant.
And then he was like, when the bar lets out,
and I'm like, that's like 3 a.m. here.
He's like, yeah.
What do you mean, go to let out?
Like when they all, everyone leaves to be like,
hey, party.
He wanted to go party.
He wanted to go to an after party, basically.
And I see him.
I go to his room.
I'm like, where were you?
He's like, I went to let out.
He's like, I went to a bar,
I went to a bar, half of more drinks.
And then I waited, and he's like, and a bunch of clubs let out.
And I was like, did it lead to anything?
He was like, no, I just came back.
He was just up to like 5.30 drunk.
He waited three hours to go to an after party?
Dude, it was more than that.
I probably went to my room at like 1145 midnight.
So he waited like three hours.
He went and drank for three more hours.
Look at us getting the eye rubbies.

Is this from your dead tea?
Maybe.
Yeah, it might be for the dead guy.

What the fuck's that mean?
Two comedians bringing down a powering in Stockholm.
That's been going since King Gunter.
We think we unlocked something.
We had to look at it from an outside perspective.
Yeah, you have to not know the language to see what they're saying.
It's like one of those...
It's the original Epstein Island.
It's one of those pictures where you relax your eyes and you could see the picture,
which by the way, I could never do.
Oh, really?
Magic eye.
There's a boat.
There's a boat in there.
I never got it.
Really?
This first time I've admitted it.
All right, I've lied about that more than anything.
Every magic guy I've lied about.
I got it.
All right, you hear what they're saying something.
Just shut everyone up.
Right at sailboat, right?
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
No, no, no, cool.
It's like, oh, look at the.
You wait for sweat.

Up in Scandinavia.
Okay.
Let's see what we got here.
Oh, yeah.

Yeah.
So.
Oh, we have to the top Norway and then up in Finland.
Yeah.
And then that's Stockholm's on the east.
Uppsala's where my family's from, I think.
Where did you go?
Where was it?
I went to Stockholm.
Where's Stockholm?
To the right.
Stockholm.
There you go.
Pretty high up.
Yeah.
And then Upsala, which I'm probably butchering that.
It was right there.
Yeah.
Oh, did you get a pronunciation on what we said?
Not a pronunciation, just a...
Hold on.
Say it out loud?
Can you make it say it out loud?
For rule of renzer forbidna.
We weren't going to get that.
No way.
We weren't...
And by the way, that's probably not even right.
Like, Swedish people are probably...
She doesn't sound like she's saying it right.
Forbidna?
She says it with no soul.
Nothing.
She says it with the soul of a computer.
And so then we got to go to Queens of the Stone Age.
at
it's a
amusement park
called Grown Allund
Grunelund, yeah
It's pretty fucking cool, dude
It's like on the water
Like you can see these pictures here

So you go to a theme park and it's like
Wait, where's the concert?
There's like a stage there
On the water?
Yeah
It's on the water.
It's fucking really cool.
And apparently it's been
like a popular venue forever.
Granal looned.
Let me see the stage.
I can't believe a guy died above you.
It's a soul.
That's unfinished business.
Like from Rick and Morty.
Wow, that's cool.
So you got like the roller coaster?
Grone alone concerts.
You got like the roller coaster.

Yeah.
While you're there,

That's Josh Anami.
The greatest American musician
of the last 20 years.

I don't even think of a drink non-alcoholics anymore.
There's Josh.
Oh, that's cool.
Side stage.
You stayed up there the whole time?
Yeah, we got good tickets.
By the way, shout out to Dean Del Rey.
He got you the tickets?
Yeah, he got us the tickets in Sweden.
Wow.
Through John Theodore, the drummer.
So this was the fake beer I was drinking.
Norlin's Guild.
Oh, that's cool.
Wait, let me see it again.
The beer?
Yeah.
That's their N.A.?
Yeah.
That looks like an A.
I know.
It looks like an A.
I was worried.
I asked over five people if they were sure that this was not alcoholic.
I'll go like this.
No alcohol.
Alcohol fried.
Yeah.
And they're going, alcohol fried.
We'll shout out of it.
Because here's the thing I respect about the Swedes.
Yeah.
They don't really bend the knee in speaking English.
They're kind of like.
It's just like, I'll learn.
They learn it.
They know it.
But it doesn't feel like, you know when you've gone to countries that America's
fucked with?
And there's that feeling of like, hey, you learn English and this was definitely, they're like, when you speak to someone in English over there, they're like, yeah, I don't know.
I just know it because your tongue is easy.
Unlike ours and our sink songs.
So these were boats.
I thought that was thunder in paradise.
That's pretty cool.
That did look exactly like that.
Yeah.
And then this was, we were walking around.
So what did you just walk around all day?
Yeah.
How was the concert?
How much they could fucking go?
Unbelievable.
Really?
It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
One of my favorite Queens of the Stone Age is.
Really?
Yeah, they played a full set.
They played like, I think, 80 or 90 minutes.
It was, and then, oh, yeah, Flugreflark.
We kept calling each other.
This was the store by our hotel.
I kept calling it.
Me and Food Jack were like, you fucking fluggerflag.
He was fun as hell, dude.
Hey, guys, today's episode of Ybu Chippin is brought to you by Thrive Market.
Guys, Thrives easy to use.
You can filter by diet, like gluten-free, paleo, keto, keto, low-sugar, vegan, whatever.
So you're not wasting time reading every label.
It's an easy place to get tons of, for myself, snack food.
So when I'm working late, I can just snack away.
They're like, their chips are great.
Everything is great. Everything they sell is also non-GMO and meets incredibly high standards.
They actually ban over 1,000 ingredients.
They're still allowed in U.S. products, things like artificial dyes, preservatives, and seed oils that I've been trying to avoid.
You ever hear me talk about how, like, you go to another country and then you eat junk food and then you actually lose weight?
I don't want to get into it.
But I think Thrive is kind of aligned with what we're talking about here, which is not, you know, putting trash into our bodies.
And they get it.
I use Thrive Market because it's easy and I can find all the things that I need in one place.
Skip the junk without overspending.

Now let's get back to the episode.
It was one of those trips where you're like
Everything about it, I'm glad I did.
Like what?
Like, just the fact that I took a risk to be like,
let's go see Queens of the Stone Age at Stockholm.
The hotel I got was great.
The experience of walking around,
being like a full on tourist.
Having no problem about doing that.
It's so weird.
And you just look at like stores.
like whoa
they're just
yeah like
flugreflark
I don't know
that could be like
a fucking copy
place
but look at all time
he does too
it's cool
yeah but you just
like see words
and how words
look like
completely different
it's
what it did is
it made me soft
in my opinion
of when I'm in New York
and I get
aggravated with tourists
oh yeah
because I'm like
oh dude
these people
our languages
they go into a Walmart
like
a greet her
yeah but they're like
but just stuff
they're like
that's how they do stuff
here that that's how like joe and the juice was huge over there so it was crazy watching you get big
in america yeah yeah yeah where you're like oh that's swedish uh yeah i saw that in sweden
i think i got on iceland yeah i think it might be i don't know if it's actually one of those
but i think i was like that's where i saw it too in that region yeah those cold whites they figured
out joan the juice joan the juice the um hot ginger shot yeah fucking noise but it is because you're
living up there you're going to learn how to survive for centuries yeah they're in so far north
Yeah, it's fucking high up there
You picture Sweden
kind of like we're pulling it
But it's like so high up
Look how high up
It's like Alaska high
It's deep and I mean Stockholm is almost even with Alaska
Herbstle Bay
I lived in Kenai
And that's why you liked it
It's the same fucking level
Yeah dude that's crazy
I've never even really noticed that
Almost good job giant map
Good job giant map doing the heavy lifting
But yeah dude
It's like
Is that longitude or latitude?
Right?
What is that?
We should know that.
I know, right?
God, we're really exposing.
Latitude is flat.
Longitude is long.
But they're both long.
When America's empire ends, which, just like my grandmother, is in hospice.
Yeah.
This will be a moment that shows how stupid the average American man is.
I'm surprised I stayed as an empire that long.
I know.
We can't identify.
We're like, hey, Alaska and fucking Stockholm are the same size.
what is that up or down or left or right people who know that stuff yeah yeah it's
but the whole size of sweden is like the same size is from sweden it's her fucking
egypt yeah Poland Poland all the way through Italy is the size of Ari's fingers have measured
it perfectly wow yeah perfectly I mean look at that dude you're not a Malta yeah it's the
size of Sweden is like it from Turkey to almost Iran like that's insane yeah covering Syria
Iraq
Look how
What that's like
Three states
Three states
No that's the whole
Fucking eastern seaboard
Miami to
To fucking Montreal
Someone who's smart
Do the math
Oh fuck you
You guys think you're better than us
Do the math
You flugger flarks
What was it food like
What did you get there
It was it was like
It was like
It was good
There was some fish
Yeah
You could get to fish
Which there was always
Fish options
That was like Iceland
When you went to Iceland
They had like fish
and you're like, yeah, I trust you guys know how to do this.
It's like being at a coastal city and you're like, I'll get sushi here.
Nebraska, no.
Yeah.
Or like even in like Arizona, I never trusted sushi.
Dog, you'd want to be in Korea.
Yes.
Why would you get dog in like, in like Guatemala?
Syria.
No way.
Sri Lanka.
They don't change with respect.
No, go where the dish is from.
Get a cheese steak in Philly.
You get a dog.
Yeah.
Have you been to Korea?
No.
Is that true?
What?
Dog.
Yeah.
I'm positive.
if it is.
Yeah, I'm sure it's cuisine.
It has to be.
Where is it, where is it, where is it known for?
How much would you get to?
I think Korea, China also, but not as much as Korea.
Korea is like, it's known for that.
They're, they're, Katie and I've talked about this before, but they're, do you think
is what came down and split over?
But I'm thinking like, I won't do that.
But their outlook on us loving dogs is the way we make fun of India for loving cows.
Dude, when I walk by one of the Moss with Bandit,
you could just tell they're just like,
I'm going to kick the shit out of this dog
if it comes near me.
That's a fucking dog.
It's a dog.
It's a dog.
It's a dog.
It's an insult.
Come on, come on, come on.
These people don't respect.
Everywhere else, it's an insult.
And in America, we're like,
it's my best friend.
I sleep and he's bed with me.
Kisses.
And they're like, you're a dog.
You're a shit dog.
And then us were like,
come here, buttons.
I fucking love my dog.
Fuck you and your fucking hatred of dogs.
Dogs are our friends, not for eating.
Yeah, I think they do must look like it.
My buddy Rolf said, he goes speeches in schools,
and they're always like, have you ever eaten dog?
And he's like, ah, because he's like, yeah.
But guys, they look at our, the way we treat our grandparents
with, like, equal contempt.
They're like, they think what we do is barbaric.
With our grandparents?
Setting our grandparents off to, like, old age homes.
It is.
Yeah.
And then you're worried about them eating a fucking readily available meat source.
I'm going through it right now.
If you, my grandma's 97, we treat our elderly like we treat fruit.
Yeah.
It's truly like fruit.
The way we treat fruit where you go, this banana's like mostly brown.
You're like, that banana is still so good.
It sounds immutable.
Eat it.
It's a good part.
It touched.
This peach is a little sour.
And you're like, fuck.
can eat it that's how we treat our old people we're just like get out of here uncle you old uncle
and that's what i'm going to be yeah yeah because me and you were in the no kid train yeah we're
going to be old uncles we're going to be old uncles someone to have to take care of us get ready for
yeah oh get ready kids facility dude oh we're in there yeah i'm already eyeing up i mean i guess it'd be
fun people your age can i honestly tell you i don't want to be a burden that's where you're not a
burden yeah it's not going to be that bad it's not going to be that bad i was just sitting
Get you in a VR when you're in there and just like, oh, reliving the fucking whatever dance you did as a kid.
Oh, my God.
Come back to 1998.
I'm like, I smoke cigarettes.
I got sick like a month ago.
Yeah.
And was in bed for like three days.
And I was like, I got video games.
I got TV.
So I watching TV shows.
I was like, this isn't that bad.
That's what it's going to be like when we're old.
When we're old fruit.
Not bad.
Old fruits.
My anus needs glit.
Express my anal glands.
That's it.
How about this?
Oh, you.
I'm watching my stuff.
I'm watching wrestling.
Won't be that bad.
Calling everyone a fluggerflarg?
How long did this day that for?
Four days.
That's good.
Yeah, it was fun.
Would you go back?
Yeah, I want to go back.
I want to take about a week and go up to, like, Uppsala.
I heard they have a thing.
I want to go north.
I want to go Norway.
Like, Trumps or in all these places where they have the ark.
You ever heard of that?
No.
It's like they have every seed of every plant in the world.
And they have it up there just in case there's some fucking, some shit goes wrong.
What's?
They can replant any plant.
They have like a backup.
Yeah, they have like every type of apple tree seed.
No.
Every pear tree, every fucking star fruit tree.
You tell me I can go get a grandmas.
What?
You tell me I can go get a nice Washington.
No, no, no.
You can't get a seed for it.
That's where it starts, brother.
Yeah, that's where it starts.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's Northern Light shit, right?
Yeah.
All up there.
Yeah, I would love to go up there.
Karuna.
Doing mushrooms up there is probably got to be intense.
That's where it started.
If it's any sort of connection to the whatever, it's like that's it.
I learned about it through Rogan.
You talk about how they would do.
And then by the way, when you look up what kind of mushrooms they were taking, they weren't the fun kind.
They were the kind of like berserker mode.
Oh, wow.
They would go insane and slaughter a whole village.
You get your hand chopped off.
You're like, keep going!
I was just like, yeah, dude, you're fucking arms lopped off or you just take a sword to the,
because a lot of times when you read up on it,
But some of their swords, like a lot of their swords, obviously cut your arm off and shit.
But some of their swords were for blunt, like, breaking bones.
We'd swing a broad sword, so you'd just be like, fuck.
Have you just got your arm broken, but you're on mushrooms?
Like a giant pipe?
Yeah.
You have to be fucked up.
And you're just, um, num, num, no, num, no, chewing.
It's like the camera from the 1979 video was smashing pumpkins.
You're like, ah.
Jelly arm.
Yeah, too, jelly arm bouncing around.
It's just still, like, learning to fight lefty.
They were taking mushroom for work, not for sport.
Oh, wow.
They were like, we got to take this village.
And they were good at sailing.
They'd come up with, like, songs.
That's where the Vikings are, not Norway.
It's Sweden, right?
Both. Sweden and Norway.
Probably Finland.
Finland probably got in on the action.
I'm not trying to hate on them.
They love Conan.
I love them for that.
Yeah.
Where?
Finland?
Oh, yeah.
Conan was like Conan O'Brien.
There was just an episode arc.
He was huge there.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I loved it.
I feel like Finland would be not the Vikings, would be the more land people.
And then these people would really like want to get that way.
Well, they were sailing.
Some people believe that, um, that's like Viking.
Nor, I think it would be either Norwegian or Swedish Vikings hit North America, like way before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I'd be so cool if I actually knew this stuff.
Yeah.
But why?
They can make a TV show that'll teach me.
That was probably misinformation.
It's a place that I want to go back to.
and spend time
and do like a relaxing
7 to 10 days
That would be cool
Summer, right?
Yeah, I would probably go early summer
Where it's not hot
Because by the way
Does it? Would it?
They
This is 2018
Yeah
Very openly talking about climate change
Like one of the first things
They bring up
Is that they're like, yeah, it's crazy
You guys don't believe in climate change
And we're like, huh?
Like we were getting a burger
and it wasn't like a political conversation
that turned into that they were just like
so you want a burger it's nuts so you guys don't believe in climate change
and we're like yeah
well we do
we personally believe in it and they're like
yeah because it's like crazy real
and like we were at Holland and they're like yeah
the river's used to freeze and we used to skate on them
but now you can't because of climate change they never freeze
and you're like
cool well I'm gonna go back
I don't have any control over it
okay I believe you guys
yeah I just there's a lot
lot of my cousins
that won't. My
brother said when he was working out in Europe somewhere
they were like, how many guns you have?
I don't have any guns. But you're in the minority.
How many people have you lost in a mass shooting? I'm not in the
minority. They're like, come on, you're lying.
No, no, no, you don't have a gun.
Oh, right. Sure.
Yeah, it's, they were very
like, it was funny how up front they were
about climate change. We were like,
yeah, I don't know. I don't
fucking know shit about it. Yeah.
I'm really the same attitude I'm bringing about
what I experienced in Sweden.
I'm like, I don't know.
The plane I took here probably did.
Whatever, sorry.
But it was one of those places where you're like, oh, this is really cool to visit.
I didn't feel like bored in any way.
I wanted to see more of it.
When I left, I was like kind of bummed.
We only did a certain amount of it.
Would you want to see more of?
Like the nature part?
Yeah, I want to go up north.
I'd want to go west?
I mean, I would go.
Were the sunsets way late?
Like 2.30 a.m.?
They were like, yeah.
It was like Alaska.
Right.
But because it was around June 15th, so we were about to hit the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year.
So we were like, we were at peak sunrise.
And it was, it was setting around like around midnight, 1230, like dusk.
That's so fucking cool.
And you get it, we were drinking then?
No, you were done.
No, I was doing edibles, though.
Right.
It's like you're just up late.
People are pouring out of bars and it's fucking light.
We talked about this when I, when we talked about Alaska on your old podcast.
But I remember the first night I was in Alaska,
I was drinking with my aunt's friend, Roy.
I was in the backyard smoking a cigarette.
He said, what time do you think it is?
And I was like, 9.45?
Because it's summer, 945?
He's like, it's like, it's 2 a.m.
Wow.
This is nuts.
That, you know, when you stand up when you've been drinking a lot?
It was like that, but I was already standing up.
I was like, whoa.
Getting out of a casino.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's exactly it.
We were drinking Miller High Life.
I was like, oh.
I remember that very vividly.
Yeah, but being in Sweden, that's why when food trucker's like, let's go to get out, let out, whatever fuck he was calling it.
I mean, good spirit, though, to go try it.
Dude, we had a blast.
Yeah.
We had a blast because we went to Amsterdam and then he was like boozing it up.
I was smoking weed the whole time.
And then I did truffles and it got fucked up.
I kept some edibles for Iceland when we went to the Blue Lagoon.
Nice.
It was just like a great trip.
The whitest trip possible.
So you don't normally do that?
No.
Kind of new for you.
I've never done that.
I've never traveled like that.
Do you think comics, the ones that were like us,
like the amount of time, whatever,
are just always like, yeah, I just don't have money for that.
I'll never think I have money for that or time.
Yeah, I think it was a thing because I was single.
I was, you know, when Lou Witsky was like,
I'm getting a vacation that week.
I was like, well, now I have a reason
to get a whole week off the bonfire.
So I had nothing.
I just had no obligations.
I think now what happens is the older you get,
obligations come in different forms relationships work other priorities that just pop up you know
and you're just like oh i can't go take it you're the most traveled of anyone i know of the comics
definitely of the comics but maybe outside of that but even that is like when i was doing this
not happening i was like i want to go play and they're like we got to go to another thing i'm like
you got to get me i'm like it's between seasons i got give me some time to do something do you think
your travel, I mean, and this is obvious
because I think this is what travel does, so I don't know if this is
a stupid question. How much is it
enhanced the way you
look at life day to day? It's
when you come back, you know, it's like, after you come back from a mushroom
trip? Yeah. And you're just like, still seeing
things. Yeah, I said that when the
when the crust settles again. Yeah,
and you're just like, oh, you still see the truth of the universe.
You would just come talking from God. But the
crust is like settling. It's like, it's not
fused together, but you're like, I just saw
stuff. Yeah. So
right when you come back from a
week or 10 days gone you're like start and it's like oh we did this differently here and
sometimes is better yeah sometimes it's worse or it's just different air conditioning
ice oh yeah Colin Quinn they put their shit outside in in fucking uh when we went skiing in
uh switzerland really you just put your leftovers outside that's nuts just frozen yeah because they're like
and there's no animals they're good you're good yeah when uh that's a freezer i was doing shows
in london and it was in the summer and i went to go get like an iced latte yeah and they were like
we're out of ice.
I was like, oh, when are you making more?
And they're like, now we don't make ice.
And you're just like, that's just...
Where was that?
In London.
Wow.
And then you're like, in America, we have giant machine.
So much ice.
It's pumping out.
The worst side work, but it's always side work.
At every restaurant, get ice.
Fill the ice tubs.
Yeah, yeah.
Because we need ice.
Yeah, they just don't get in other places.
And you're like, shit's pretty good where I live.
It's great.
Redidly available ice.
No, like, weird look at me.
air conditioning that you can keep your apartment like a meat locker if you have enough money and you go to some of these places and like it's just it's not standard scotland at ed and fringe when it gets hot it's like they're like we got a fan five days of this yeah and then they say it's air conditioning but whatever they're calling air conditioning yeah that ain't air conditioning yeah that's like when comedy clubs don't have their liquor license and they have like that that weird liquor yeah it's like not actual liquor it's something else oh yeah you could but you could sell it with spice of of liquor yeah you could you could
sell it with a beer and wine license right that's like what their air conditioning is in the
uk maybe it's improved yeah it should improve even like where you can go like even in like
where do you go get alcohol it's like oh it's a state run store or it's a 7-11 like you know
west coast you go to 7-11 here like no you wouldn't have oh yeah
or grocery stores yeah uh Sweden some of their liquor stores I don't know if it's all their
liquor stores yeah I know that's what I that's the kind of thing it makes sense
Because look at this, my mom's family, Irish, mostly Irish, other probably like maybe a little English.
Yeah.
of them are alive. All of them are alive. My father's family, Swedish, all dead from alcohol. So the government has to step in? I feel like that's what it is. I feel like they're like, guys, you can't. I mean, we were talking about how they used to take mushrooms to
pillage. That energy goes
somewhere. It's like what we're saying with the
non-alcoholic. You still got it
there. So maybe the government's like
we've got to step in. We've got to close the
gates. Yeah, maybe. Maybe
it's like you guys can't be. By the way, we can be
completely wrong. It's just something that. No, it's truth.
I think we've nailed it. I'm going to look it up.
I want to look up government-ran
liquor stores.
While you're looking that up,
do you have any advice for travel now that you're
such a fucking worldly traveler? Also,
by the way, Dan's special. I got to
fucking put it in earlier.
Dan Special is out right now on YouTube.
What's it called?
Yeah, it's Dan Soter on the road.
On the road.
I dropped 40 minutes of new jokes.
Fucking long time coming.
I don't like calling it a special.
Why?
That's wild.
I feel like a special's an hour.
Oh, interesting.
So I feel like this is like, this is like an EP instead of an LP.
You know what I mean?
Interesting.
You're like, they're ready to go.
Yeah.
I worked on these on the road.
It's a fun.
It's been a long time.
Yeah, it's been about five years.
Portland Helium.
I liked this.
You're one of my last.
I saw this at it, but looked great.
Pip sent it to me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great.
He did a great job.
You're one of the lasting memories of the pandemic
is the billboard at my corner
was your face for three years.
Yeah, HBO didn't change it out.
They all decided we're done with billboards.
There's also like, whatever's up is up.
I think, I mean, HBO now does a few specials,
but I think I was the last one of their run
of how their programming used to be.
pushing big, like, this is a big moment now.
Yeah, like, then it moved to Max,
and I still think it's a big thing,
but I think, like, that was for me,
and then it was like, cool momentum, sit home.
But I just really haven't, I've fucked up.
I don't think I've put enough out there on YouTube.
Yeah, maybe.
And I filmed this set, and I was like, dude,
I like this set.
Yeah, you should.
Yeah, so it's on my YouTube channel at Dan Soder.
You're one of the funniest comics in the fucking world, man.
Thanks, man.
in sweet i can't want to watch it out if do you have the uh do have the um in there yeah nice
oh yeah absolutely yeah i cut uh dude i've quoted that one to so many people i've cut like uh i cut like about
we filmed about 50 minutes and i cut about 12 of it because i was just like we were watching it
and i was like this isn't have to be a certain time right it doesn't anymore it really doesn't
I just wanted it to be like, I wanted people to be able to put it on and just be like, funny, funny.
You know when you watch a long set and it feels shorter where you watch someone do 45 minutes and you're like, they were like 20 minutes?
Yeah, but they were just crushing.
Yeah, you just want that.
I see a comedy that I'm like, yeah, maybe that's this is a right amount of time.
It just, I just wanted it to be like, hey, here it is on YouTube.
It's for free.
1530, 45.
That used to be the standard headlining.
Yeah.
So that's what it's like, yeah, this is a, I took one joke out that was going to make it like 44 minutes.
Yeah.
And I was like, I just.
rather start it hot.
It's like, it was the beginning joke, and I just cut it to be like, we'll just start
right where it gets going.
On the road?
Yeah, on the road.
Dan Soder on the road.
Because that's, you know, I couldn't think of a title.
Yeah.
They're so dumb.
It's just like, see, their new one, I don't remember the titles of like, even like albums.
Yeah.
You know, from bands.
I'm like, the one with the robot in the cover.
That's why you're just like, uh, it's one he's on the road.
Yeah.
There you go.
Government involvement liquor stores in Sweden.

I don't know how to say goodbye in Swedish.
So goodbye.
Stockholm, Sweden, Stockholm, Switzerland.
Talk from Sweden.
Bye.
Also, by the way, I should tell you this.
Sweden has the hottest women in the world.
And I know it's almost like,
hacky to say that,
but they're crazy hot.
And they're average.
Since it's hot everywhere,
there's an episode of Buck Rogers
who's watching on reruns.
Some guy bends metal like that.
And he goes, actually, in my country,
I'm considered a weakling.
There are 7-11 shopkeepers in Sweden
that are hotter than any one.
woman you've ever dated. It's nuts. And they have no value there because there's so many hot
ones that they can't do anything other than work at a 7-Eleven. It's just, you just walk along.
You're like, what? But they think they're normal. They don't think they're hot. So they go,
whatever, whatever, they got a mole on me? What's the matter? I'm like, no, you're a fucking gorgeous
fucking face. I just want to punch a dude to prove my love for you, all of you. Anyway,
good episode, Dan. I appreciate it. Until next week, everybody. Bye.
