Have you looked at these since then?

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

Why is it blurred? 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.

But

Oh, Pfluger Florg. Phluger Farg.
I forgot about that. We kept calling each other Fluger Fargs.
I was like, dude, you're being such a fucking Phluger Flarg.

Yeah, I have no idea what it's called. And then just

out in the open.

Let me see that one again. Let me see that one again.

What is this? Watch out for a kid being taken?

Is that forbidden? To steal a child? Forbidden. It's the

oldest forbidden.

That's what that sign says. I can interpret it.
Alan.

Yeah, I just took pictures of random shit. I'm not really good at.
Oh, I said this looks like Joe List.

It does.

Swedish protester Joe List.

All right, all right, all right, let's start. We're here with Dance Odor.
Hey, how 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 in my life I've ever done like a...

December 2018, yeah. I did like an eat-prey love thing.
It was the only time in my life where I was like a white lady. I was

I was in Nashville doing Zane's, and I looked up Queens of the Stone Age's tour schedule, and

they were playing in Stockholm, Sweden. And

I've seen them a lot. And I was like, dude, my family, my dad's family is from Sweden.

It's where Soder comes from. It's actually really? Soder? It's Suder.
It's me in South, I think, with an oomb. Whenever I try to say it in Swedish, they always correct me.

I've never gotten it correct. I've been like, Suder, and and they're like, suitor.
And they're like, suitor? And they're like,

yeah.

So I don't know. I need to learn how to do it.
What 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.

I feel like their history is being in the old West while the cowboys come by and like, we're going to just do stuff to your family. Oh, what? No, man.

I think Scandinavians, those are 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 family moved to San Francisco. They went to Stockholm and then jumped to San Francisco.
That's where my grandpa was born. Grandpa? Grandpur Stunichi.

So you just went to the fucking this for that? No, I wanted to go see Queens of 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.

I was like, we should do a trip. Me and you should go to Stockholm.
And then I talked to Lou Witzke at the bonfire, and Lou was like, oh, I'm going to be in Amsterdam four days later seeing Pearl Jam.

And I, so we turned it into. That guy's in a Pearl Jam?

It's his life's work.

So he, I love Lou. You know it's his life's work.

It's his magnum opus. He, um,

so we did Sweden.

We were going to go see Queens of the Stone Age in Sweden and spend four days, go down to Amsterdam, do four days, and then fly to Reykjavik and do three days two and a half days in Reykjavik 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 um

it was june so it was like light late nice nice because they're northern hemisphere yeah 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 is beautiful.
Okay. I love

Sweden.

I just went to 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.

It's extra things.

We don't even have them.

It's almost like singing.

You know how singers can do that?

Like the way they talk is they're like,

I know, I can't do that move. I don't know how you, it's like a word kickflip.

Like, I can't even Ollie. And you want me to be like,

slow that down. What?

Here's what's crazy:

my friend Mike bought me,

you know, 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 previous kings. Okay.
Shout out the Viking Kings.

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. But

it's called the Kroner.

The Kroner, yeah, that sounds right.

Is that Denmark?

Maybe they all have that. I don't fucking know.
We're going to get killed because this means something. This is like us.

That's like someone fucking up the United States and 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 were 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 in a lady here. And now I go by Daniel Soder.
It's Cronisec. Cronisec.
Or whatever. It's the three crowns.

Okay, yeah.

He bought you what? One of those? He's bought me a t-shirt. Oh, there's Mike.

Wait, wait, let me see this. So these are pictures of this is the first night I was there.
Damn, cool. Yeah, it's just the architecture.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. This is in Stockholm.
This is cool.

I just want to say that.

What is this place? I don't know. What's the industrial place over there? And then the old style.
Yeah, like a

almost like a neighborhood mixed with

a scrapyard? 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, just color corrected. Yeah.

So it's like a little square, and they're doing construction on a bridge. Okay, well, they're downtown.

They have Coca-Cola there. Isn't that wonderful? God,

my pictures really show me how stupid of an American. You just happen to be gone.
I'm like, oh, look at this. There's a castle in the city.
This building looks like a helmet.

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 uh 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. It, you know,

outgoing, or it's just like uh, they're just like they're not in your shit,

they're just like hello,

like agreeabable, 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? They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, red light district.

Like the way we're like, yeah, fucking Eminem store. Times Square, cool.
You can't get that. Congrats with that.

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.
I loved it. What'd you do? Tell me what you did all day.
Went to the Viking Museum. Yeah.
That's where I saw 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.
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 mast or 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 this. No, because it's old.
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,

how did you get into it, people?

We went to restaurants. Billions apparently is popular in Sweden.
People were coming up and saying hello. And so like we.
recognize you from it? Yeah. Wow.

Probably more than anywhere I've been out of the country. That's cool.
Yeah, it was pretty. That's weird, though.
And you're like, hey, what's up? Melichians. Hey, everybody.

Breaking into today's episode to let you know a little bit about the guest, 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 out of the cell at the same time. He goes early.
I go late. But I guess I only see him at the stand and on the road.

Yeah, we've been festivals together, but he crushes.

He's like a top five comic. He's hitting new strides every day.
That's like,

I mean, the mixture of silly and like, and like good points that he has with like,

with like punchlines,

voices,

act outs. And then just like well written.
It's just, it's crazy. He's just hitting on a high, high level.
And he's got a new theater tour. It's out right now.

His first, actually, major theater tour. And you guys should always see him.
He's legitimately one of the best comics in the country. He's amazing, amazing.

You should be able to say you saw him on the first theater tour. It's worth it.
And it's like, like I always say, this is a guaranteed good night out. And honestly, I'm a little too dark.

I'm going to walk people. There's a decent chance if you come see me, you're going to leave having a worse time than you went in on.
With Dan, it's not like that. You're going to 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.

And he's in these theaters now. He's at the Moor in Seattle.

I think he was actually there with me a long time ago when we did an old episode of Skeptic Tank where we drove from Seattle to Vancouver.

He's in Seattle and Portland, Revolution Hall, my favorite place to play in Portland.

And he'll make a lot of money. He'll take that money.
He'll buy hair and he'll be back on the streets. These guys can't reform.
But right now, he hasn't relapsed.

So go see him on the road at dansoder.com. Bye, everybody.
Let's get back to the episode. Dude, my favorite story, and I'll tell it.

He won't care. I tell the story.
So we,

the first night, we just like went 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. Like Fujiak started getting a little

started throwing them back. And I didn't have weed.
I didn't travel with weed, but I traveled with a couple of Tootsie rolls that were edibles. So I was like, oh, I'll eat an edible.

Those have come to so many, I know the ones you're talking about. They've come to so many countries and back up.

I mean, Vecchi owned tickets to Japan and ate one and almost had to go to an emergency room in Tokyo.

But I had those Tootsie rolls and I was like, great, I'll eat a Tootsie roll. So I ate Tootsie 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?

Day two. Okay.
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 the stay. Oh, okay.
That's in the bill for the hotel. How much is the 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. Cool.
Enjoyed everything about it. Breakfast was awesome.

So I eat breakfast. I'm like, if I can, I'll get seconds.
Where the fuck is Vujak? 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, putting my laptop back. Finally, when I put my laptop back, I knock on the door.

And Fujiak comes to the door and he opens it up and he's like, hey.

And I'm like, 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.

And he was like, let's go to let out. And I was like, I know what getting the let out is.

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 the 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 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 like 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 had a couple more drinks and then i went and waited and he's like 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 till like 530 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 11.45 midnight.

So he waited like three hours. He went and drank for three more hours.
Look at us getting the eye rubbies. I know.
Is this part of the flood? Is this from your dead tea? Maybe.

Yeah, it might be for the dead guy. I hope not.
Sir, please leave me alone. My grandmother is about to cross over.
So the next day we woke up

and went to

the child.

That's where we got the abduction. So apparently, it's local custom to abduct a child.

There's not even a don't. If you can read somebody, there's a Jew.
Yeah. Please tell me what this means.

For

Jew makes me feel that means for forbidden. Yeah.
Man-boy love forbidden. We can look this up.
Dude, yeah, look at translate that. God, the internet's a beautiful thing sometimes.

Find out what that means. And why is that adult holding that child's hand? It can't be parental.

It has to be anything but parental.

And also get a pronunciation. Oh, yeah.
To watch

one of their R.

Hold up.

Watch one of their RB runs.

Valnervanser.

But you got to hit the umlaut. I know, I don't know how to get the fucking umlaut.
Got to hold it, hold it down. Good deliveries, prohibited.
Goods deliveries.

Goods deliveries prohibited. Excuse me? So is it good? Are they saying child goods?

What does that mean?

Are we breaking into a

Two comedians.

Yeah, for

goods delivery is prohibited. What the fuck's that mean?

Two comedians breaking down a power ring 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 a digital Epstein Islands. It's one of those pictures where you relax your eyes and you can see the picture, which, by the way, I could never do.

Oh, really? Magic guy. I was like, oh, there's a boat.
There's a boat in there. I never got it.
Really? It's for some of it admitted it. All right, I've lied about that more than anything in my lie.

Every magic guy I've lied about. I got it.

I was supposed to shut it. Shut right down.
You hear what they're saying? Shut that. Shut everyone.

Sailboat, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, cool. No, no, no, cool.

Oh, look at the.

You wait for someone else to say it. Oh, yeah, look at the.

Yeah, looking at Sweden and Norway, there would be some beef. You guys are touching.
Finland's at least got the water between you.

Up top.

Up top.

I'm looking at Sweden and Finland. Up at Scandinavia.
Okay, let's see what we got here. Oh, yeah, those are big, by the way.
Yeah.

All the way up to the top of Norway and then up at Finland. Yeah, and then that's Stockholm's on the east.
Uppsala is where my family's from, I think. Where'd you go? Where was it?

I went to Stockholm. Where is Stockholm? To the right.
Stockholm. There you go.
Pretty high up. Yeah, and then

Uppsala, which I'm probably butchering that pronunciation. 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? Verula and Zerforbidna.
Well, we weren't going to get that. No.

We were not.

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.

It's an amusement park called Gronelund. Gronelund, yeah.
It's pretty fucking cool, dude. It's like on the water.

Like you can see these pictures here.

Wait, this is where the concert is? Yeah. Oh, it's like a theme park.
Yes, that's exactly it. 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

uh

it's it's on the water it's fucking really cool and apparently it's been

um like a popular venue forever

gron alund

let me let me see the stage can't believe a guy died above you

It's the soul. That's unfinished business, like from Rick and Morton.

Wow, that's cool. So you got like the roller coaster.
Gron alund concerts. You got like the roller coaster.
They go while you're doing it? Yeah. While you're there, roller coasters go by you?

Yeah, the amusement park was open. Wow.
Cool. So, see, that's a roller coaster right there.
That's where you're standing for the concert? Yeah, no fucking way. You're right under it.

Yeah, you were like. Who are you pointing at? Some kid you're about to abduct.
You're pointing right at him. Grown underneath.
For Budna. Very, very good.
Dan, for Buddhna. See, this is the for Budna.

No, Dan.

That's for Buddhna.

But this is

Joshami, the greatest American musician in the the last 20 years. Nice.
That's me on an edible, just sucking down

NA beers. I was just drinking so many.
Dude, you are an example. They're like, oh, Dancil got the problem.
Yeah. Oh, that itch is there, baby.
They're like, he just hit six at this barbecue.

Dude, Shane took me to a barbecue with Kyle Yuschek and George Kittle, and I legitimately drank a 12-pack of Heineken Zeros.

I had a half a rack of Heine Zeros to myself.

It's nice. It's like, hey, I can't get back into this.

I don't even feel like you drink non-alcoholics anymore.

There's Josh. He's rocking out 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.
Norlands Guild.

New Orleans goes, oh, that's cool. Wait, let me see it again.

The beer? Yeah.

That's their NA? 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 non-alcoholic. I'll go like this.
No alcohol. Alcohol Freiden.
Yeah.

And they're going,

but they're. 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...

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? Yeah.

And there's that feeling of like, eh, you learned 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 sing songs. So these were boats.
I thought that was Thunder in Paradise. It's pretty cool.
That did look exactly like that. Yeah.

And then this was, we were walking around. So you just walked around all day? Yeah.
How was the concert? How much did they go and 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.

And then, oh, yeah, Fluger Flarg. We kept calling each other.
This was the store by our hotel.

I kept calling. Me and Fujack were like, you fucking Phluger Flarg.

It was fun as hell, dude. Hey, guys.
Today's episode of You Be Chipping is brought to you by Thrive Market. Guys, Thrive's easy to use.

You can filter by diet, like gluten-free, paleo, 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's great.

Everything they sell is also non-GMO and meets incredibly high standards. They actually ban over a thousand ingredients that are 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 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 I 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. In Walmart's Huluville, time was ticking away.
Only a few nights left till the big holiday. But last-minute gifters had no need to worry.

Walmart Express Delivery got their gifts in a hurry. From Nintendo to Nespresso and Lego flowers, they could check off their lists in as fast as an hour.

All of Huluville, East, West, South, and North, could order gifts up until 5 p.m. on December 24th.
So this holiday, just do as the Who's do. With gift delivery this fast, they all gassed.

From Walmart, who knew? Subject to availability terms and fees apply. 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 in 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 then you just look at stores like, whoa.

They're just, yeah, like Phlugerflag. I don't know if

that could be like a fucking copy place. But look at all the time he does, too.
It's cool. Yeah, but you just like see words and how words look like completely different.

What it did is it made me soften 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 language is.

They go into a Walmart, like, a greeter. Yeah, but

just stuff. They're like, that's how they do stuff here.

Like, Joe and the Juice was huge over there, so it was crazy watching it get big in America. Joe and the Juice, yeah, yeah.
Where you're like, oh, that's Swedish. Like, I saw that in Sweden.

I think I got it in Iceland. Yeah, I think it might be.
I don't know if it's actually. It's 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 Joe and the Juice. Joe and the Juice.
The hot ginger shot. Yeah.
Fucking nice. But it is, because you're living up there.
You got to learn how to survive for centuries. Yeah.

Learning so far north. Yeah, it's fucking high up there.
I mean,

you picture Sweden kind of like we're pulling it, but it's like

look how high up. it's like Alaska, Alaska.
It's deep in Alaska. I mean, Stockholm's almost even with Alaska.
See, we're

lived in Kenai.

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.

Giant map, dude. The heavy lifting, but yeah, dude.

It's like...

Is that longitude or latitude? Right? What is that? We should know. I know, right? God, we're really excited about it.
Latitude is flat. Longitude is long.
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 they stayed as an empire that long.
Yeah, I know. We can't identify.

We're like, man, 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 is. But the whole size of Sweden is like the same size as from

to 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.

Yeah, dude. The size of Sweden is like from Turkey to almost Iran.
Like, that's insane. Yeah.
Covering Syria, Iraq. Look how...
What? That's like two states? Three states?

No, that's the whole fucking eastern seaboard.

Miami to fucking Montreal. Someone who's smart, do the math.
No, fuck you. Do you guys think you're better than us?

Do the math.

You fluger flarks. What was the food like? What did you get there?

It was like

it was good. There was some fish.

You could get the fish, which there was always fish options. That was like Iceland.
When you went to Iceland, they had like fish stew, 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.

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

Syria?

Syria. No way.
Sri Lanka. They don't treat it with respect.
No, go where the dish is from. Get a cheesesteak in Philly.
You get a dog.

Have you been to Korea? Is that true? What?

I'm positive it is.

Yeah, I'm sure it's cuisine. Just where is it? Where is it? Where is it known?

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.

Katie and I have talked about this before, but their.

Do you think it's what Kim Bowling 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 mosques 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.

Are we treated differently? It's an insult. Like, come on, Bandit, 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. Don't with me.
Kisses.

And they're like,

you're a dog. You're a shit dog.
And then us, we're 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 does speeches in schools, and they're always like, Have you ever eaten a dog? And he's like,

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.

Sending our grandparents off to like old age homes.

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 is like mostly brown.

And you're like, that banana is still

good.

It's a good part.

Not touched.

This peach is a little sour. And you're like, fucking 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 where I'm going to be.
Yeah.

Because me and you are in the no kid train. Yeah.
We're going to be old uncles. We're going to be old uncles.
Someone to take care of us. Get ready for

the facility, dude. Oh, we're in there.
I'm already eyeing up. I mean, I guess it'd be fun.
People your age.

Can I honestly tell you? I do technology. That's when 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 sick. They get you in a VR when you're in there.
It's like

reliving the fucking dance you did. Oh, my God.
Come back to 1998. I'm like,

I smoke cigarettes.

I got sick like a month ago and was in bed for like three days. And I was like, I got video games.
I got TV. Started 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

my anal gland. That's it.
How about you? Who are you?

I'm watching my stuff. I'm watching wrestling.

Won't be that bad. Calling everyone a fluger flag.
How long did you just do that for?

Four days. That's good.
Yeah, it was funny. Would you go back? Yeah, I want to go back.
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 to Norway, like Tromstone, 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 shit goes wrong. What? They can replant any

plant. Great tree.
They have like a backup. Yeah, they have like every type of apple tree seed.
No. Every pear tree, every fucking star.
You told me I can go get a grandma's. What?

You told me I can go get a nice Washington. No, no, no, no.
You can't get one. You 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 has probably got to be intense. That's where it started.

If it's had any sort of connection to the whatever. It's like, that's it.
I learned about it through Rogan. He would 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, and you're like,

Yeah, dude, your fucking arms lopped off, or you just take a sword to the because a lot of times, um, when you read up on it, 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.

Oh, you'd swing a broad sword, so you'd just be like, fuck!

If you just got your arm broken, but you're like a giant pipe?

Chewing in the hut. It's like the camera from the 1979 video of smashing pumpkins.
You're like,

jelly arms. Yeah.
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 come up with like songs.
That's where the Vikings are, not Norway. It's Sweden.
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 where 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 be like, want to get that way. Yeah, well, they were sailing.
Some people believe that. Sounds like Viking.

I think it was either Norwegian or Swedish Vikings hit North America way before. Yeah.

Yeah.

But I had a Bitcoin. It'd be so cool if I actually knew this stuff.

But why?

They can make a TV show that'll teach me that it was probably misinformation.

It's a place that I want to go back to and spend time and do like a relaxing

seven to ten days. That'd be cool.
Summer, right?

Yeah. I would probably go early summer where it's not hot.
Because, by the way, 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 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 in Holland, and they're like, Yeah, the rivers 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,

oh, cool. Well, I'm going to go back and

I don't have any control over it. Okay, I believe you guys.
Yeah, I just, there's a lot of my

cousins that won't.

My brother said when he was working out in Europe somewhere, they were like,

How many guns do you have?

I don't have any guns, like, but you're in the minority. How many people have you lost in a mass shooting? I'm not in the minority.
I'm like, come on, you're lying. No, no, no, you don't have a move.

Sure.

Yeah, it's, they were very like, it was funny how upfront 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. Oh, 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 what you want to see more of like the nature part yeah i want to go up north i'd want to go west shit i want i mean i would go sunsets way late like 2 30 a.m day where that yeah it was like alaska right but it because it was around june 15th so we were about to hit the summer solstice which is the longest day yeah uh of the year so we were like we were at peak wow sunrise and it was it was setting around

like around

midnight 12 30

dusk. That's so fucking cool.
And you got it. Were you 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 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, and I was in the backyard smoking a cigarette.

He's like, what time do you think it is? And I was like,

9:45 because it's summer. Yeah.
9.45. He's like, it's 2 a.m.
Wow. This is nuts.

you know, when you stand up when you've been drinking a lot? Yeah. It was like that, but I was already standing up.
I was like, whoa.

Getting out of a casino. Yeah.
Yeah.

That's exactly it. We were drinking Miller High Life.
I was like,

I remember that very vividly. Close your eyes, exhale, feel your body relax, and let go of whatever you're carrying today.

Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800 contacts.
Oh my gosh, they're so fast. And breathe.
Oh, sorry.

I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry.
Namaste. Visit 1-800Contacts.com today to save on your first order.
1-800 Contacts.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria or chronic hives with no known cause. It's so unpredictable.
It's like playing pinball.

Itchy red bumps start on my arm, then my back,

sometimes my legs. Hives come out of nowhere,

and it comes and goes. But I just found out about a treatment option at treatmyhives.com.
Take that, chronic hives. Learn more at treatmyhives.com.

Yeah, but being in Sweden, that's why when Food Jack was like, let's go to get out, let out, the rumor fuckers calling it. I mean, good spirit, though, to go try it.
Dude, we had a blast.

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 got fucked up.

I kept some edibles for Iceland when we went to the Blue Lagoon. Oh, nice.
It was just like a great trip. The whitest.
So you don't normally do that?

That's kind of new for you, right? I've never done that. I've never traveled much.

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, i

when when lou witski was like i'm getting a vacation that week yeah 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 yeah you know and you're just like oh i can't go take it you're the

most traveled of anyone I know. The comics.
Definitely of the comics, but maybe outside of the comics. 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 give me.
I'm like, it's between seasons.

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 has it enhanced the way you look at life day to day? It's when you come back. You know, it's like graphs, you come back from a mushroom trip and you're just like still seeing things.

Yeah, I said that when the, when the, uh, when the crust settles again. Yeah, and you're just like, oh, you still see it.
When you go back back towards the city, you just come talking from God.

But the crust is like settling.

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 start noticing, oh, we did this differently here. And sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse, or it's just different.
Air conditioning.

Yes.

Oh, yeah. Colin Quinn.
They put their shit outside in fucking when we went skiing in Switzerland. Really? You just put your leftovers outside.
That's not just frozen. Yeah, because they're like that.

And there's no animals over there. You can't do anything.
Yeah.

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 and they were like, we're out of ice.

I was like, oh, when are you making war? And they were 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

pumping out. The worst

side work,

but it's always side work. At every restaurant, they're like, get ice.
Fill the ice cubs. Yeah, yeah, because we need ice.
Yeah, they just don't get it other places.

And you're like, shit's pretty good where I live. It's great.
Readily available ice. No like weird look at me.
Air conditioning that you can keep your apartment like a meat locker if you have money.

And you go to some of these places and they just, it's just not standard. Scotland at Eden at Fringe.
Where 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, that ain't air conditioning. Yeah, yeah.

That's like when comedy clubs don't have their liquor license and they have like that weird liquor. Yeah, it's like not actual liquor, it's something else.
Oh, yeah.

But you could sell it with the spice of

liquor. You could sell it with a beer and wine license.

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 like put like where do you go get alcohol? It's like, oh, it's a state-run store or it's a 7-Eleven.
Like, you know, West Coast.

Stay-run stores. West Coast, you go to 7-Eleven here.
Like, no, you wouldn't have that. Oh, yeah.
There are some grocery stores.

Sweden, some of their liquor stores, I don't know if it's all their liquor stores, controlled by the government. Yeah, I know.
That's what I'm saying. And it makes sense.

Because look at this. My mom's family, Irish,

mostly Irish, other,

probably like maybe a little English. Yeah.

Drinkers.

Love to have a couple drinks at a barbecue. Okay.

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 got to step in. We got to close the gates.
Yeah, maybe. Maybe it's like, you guys can't beat it.
By the way, we could be completely wrong. It's just something.

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, no, do you? Also, by the way, Dance Special is out. I gotta fucking put it in earlier.

Dance Special is out right now on YouTube. What's it called? What's this one? Yeah, it's Dan Soder on the road.
On the road. I dropped 40 Minutes of New Jokes.
Fucking

time coming. I don't like calling it a special.
Why? That's wild. I feel like a special is an hour.
Oh, interesting. So I feel like this is like

an EP instead of an LP. You know what I mean? Interesting.
Yeah.

They're ready to go. Yeah.
I worked on these on the road. It was 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 lasting.

I saw the setup. It looked great.
Yeah. Pip sent it to me.
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 was 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.

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 to maybe film this set. And I was like, dude,

I like this set. Let's move it out.
You You should. Yeah, so it's out.
It's on my YouTube channel at Dan Soder. You're one of the funniest comics in the fucking world, man.
Thanks, man.

And so we can't wait to watch it.

Do you have the

book in there? Yeah. Nice.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's in there.
I cut. Dude, I've quoted that one to so many people.

I've cut like 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.

As long as I see a comic, I'm like, damn, maybe that is the right amount of time.

I just wanted it to be like, hey, here it is on YouTube. It's 50.
15, 30, 45. That used to be the standard headlining.
Yeah, yeah. So that's what it's like, yeah, this is is,

I took one joke out that was going to make it like 44 minutes. Yeah.
And I was like, I'd 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. Dance odor on the road.
On the road.

I couldn't think of a title. Yeah.

Well, I just recorded it. 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, ah, that's one he's on the road.

There you go. Government involvement liquor stores in Sweden.

Systembolaget.

System company. Is a government-owned chain of liquor stores in Sweden.
It is the only retail store allowed to sell alcoholic beverages that contain more than 3.5 alcohol per volume. Beer.

They can't even sell beer except for that. So you can have like a

kombucha.

That is nuts. It's called Systembologic.
Systembologet.

System Company.

The System Company is a dope name for a liquor store in the United States. If you are in a Swedish...

Sounds like a prison.

It does. A gay dance club.
Welcome to the System Company. Is alcohol regulated in Sweden? Sweden has a government alcohol monopoly, Systembolaget,

for the sale of all alcoholic drinks. Yeah, so okay, I wasn't wrong about that.

And by the way,

the ones that moved to the United States and took the governor off all died of cirrhosis.

So keep working. That's my first thing.
That's my first job.

The system company, you're doing well. You're keeping your people alive.

Sounds fucking hilarious. Yeah, it is.

I usually ask people like, what surprised you about a place? You already kind of told me that. Yeah.
All this stuff, too. What you regret not seeing.

I wish I would have done more.

I wish wish I would have done more research into restaurants. Oh, why? Ever since I

Katie has shown me that when you do research, it pays off.

And you hit a couple spots.

You strike me as a person that goes in a little researched. Sometimes, and sometimes so not at all.
They're like, you didn't come here to go hiking in Guatemala. I'm like, is that big here?

What? Yeah.

But then there's times where I've heard stories of you traveling to Norway and you did some research. You found a restaurant you wanted to go to.
Yeah, stuff like that sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I wish I would have done. A museum or something.
Yeah, like the Vossa museum I wanted to see. Uh-huh.
Because I was like, I want to see a cool-ass warship.

Yeah, you want to see what's there. Or if you go with somebody, like they do a little bit, you do a little bit.
Smoke them.

If I had like some doinks,

if I was hitting some pre-rolls and like going and walking around Sweden, I could do two weeks there. Dude, I wandered in Amsterdam.
I was like, hi,

wandered, and just came across some weird museum. You see things like, what the fuck? In some park.
You don't realize how we were staying outside of like

Amsterdam. We were staying right outside.
So we take this train and it was like kind of cool because it was like seeing where everyone just actually lived.

Oh, right. Yeah, I like that too.
We were like by a big pond and you're just like, this is awesome. It was fucking great.

Yeah. And any travel tips?

How expensive was it there? Hella?

It was a costly trip. Yeah.
It was a trip where I was like, I'll work, I'll work extra to go do this.

So if you put some money aside,

Alan,

go see Soder when he's on the road. That's it, everybody.
Please subscribe to wherever you're listening or watching. Next week, I haven't decided yet.
Next week, maybe Malice, North Korea.

Maybe Byron Bowers in Israel. Should we do Israel? Maybe we'll do Byron Bowers in Israel.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Thank you very much for tuning in, everybody. I'll talk to you next week.
Asta Manyan, Asta Luego. I don't know how to say goodbye in Swedish.

So goodbye. Stockholm, Sweden, Stockholm, Switzerland.
Stockholm, Sweden. Bye.
Also, by the way, I should tell you this. Sweden has the hottest women in the world.

And I know it's like 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 that was watching on reruns.

Some guy bends metal like that. And he goes, actually, in my country, I'm considered a weakling.

There are 7-Eleven shopkeepers.

in Sweden that are hotter than any 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, what have I got a mole on me? What's the matter?

I'm like, no, you're 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.

Hey, Doe. Oh, yeah, alright.
Hey Do?

Hey Do.

Alright. Hey Do, everybody.
Yeah, we should do these more. Okay.
Bye. Hey Do.
