everything you thought you knew about
Sweden is wrong let's talk about that
[Music]
good mythical morning one of the
privileges of doing this show is that we
get to do it for an international
audience like you
that means there's people all over the
world who watch good mythical morning
and that is a beautiful thing but here's
something that we have noticed a lot of
times we talk about other cultures we
comment on other countries outside of
the United States of America you know
what happens we get things wrong and you
people out in the comments land let us
know how wrong we are i-i've never
gotten anything I gotta say we both get
things wrong and there's this
interesting thing that when you have an
international audience there are these
cultural sensitivities you get things
wrong you get blasted for it we want
that to end now at least as far as
Sweden is concerned so we have brought
in a Swedish expert to clear things up
about misconceptions that we have and
Americans have about Sweden ladies
gentlemen welcome to the show mr. Felix
PewDiePie hiding behind Rhett so you're
like right in the middle okay this is an
honor thank you so much this is an honor
well I'm the Swedish expert that's lame
like I know with YouTube well you you
don't try to be the Swedish expert all
along go ahead and like belly up to
sorry okay that's how I do it in this
country we get close to the microphone
and like totally shoulder to shoulder
okay we have to touch shoulders we're a
little weird I want to relax a little
bit yeah we want this to be we don't get
this closing sweet ml make an exception
okay so we've already learned something
personal spoilers here
yes Whedon is is larger we're in it
right now you're way beyond their line
we should be making eye contact in the
in the subway that's just like the
biggest nono ever what do you look at
you just pretend that you there's no
people like do you look up or down or
anywhere but like you can look yeah
exactly anywhere but the eye so you can
nipples genitals whatever okay I'm just
saying like my own Oh if yeah other
that's probably better yeah okay yeah
thanks for clearing that up
no really well now I'm assuming you're
an expert
on everything Swedish pretty much
everything because you have so many
subscribers that's how it goes I think
I'm a logic yeah and I think one of the
things that you're an expert on is for
instance Swedish things are not Swiss
that's something that a lot of America
binary yeah that's very offense they're
like you speak Swiss that stupid have
you heard that all the time I say like
oh they're like oh you're from Sweden so
you like chocolate or whatever because
it's wheezes like Tom oh you know what
chocolate is we've got our wrong
stereotypes correct good I'm good and
we're gonna start with IKEA is all the
furniture in Sweden in everyone's home
from Ikea
absolutely absolutely that's what I
thought of it hundred percent 100% like
I don't want to go that far but I mean
people will raise some eyebrows if you
don't have a IKEA furniture because
here's my theory my theory is that here
in the United States IKEA is like oh I
got this thing for my Kia isn't that
awesome but in Sweden it's like oh you
got that from Walmart like it's like is
not IKEA the Walmart of Sweden or is it
like still kind of like no we like it
sear it seriously that's a good point
like do you have IKEA furniture we don't
live in Sweden anymore mhm
I said living in London right UK okay
well yeah all right Brighton okay
Brighton yeah um but you live how many
years in Sweden you own Sweden right I
mean you I'm not financially I mean
you've lived there long enough swear
you're not expert I thought we talked
about this yeah yeah so I keep I'm
backtrack is it was it high class or low
class or just go that's a little rice
that's oh it is I'm sorry that was right
it's very yeah it's like students go to
Ikea but the world you're the new
couples or I don't know so the same is
here
yeah only people who are desperate for
something to sit on go to Ikea we love
meatballs you guys like meatballs I do
especially I can we don't put a horse in
them
well that had
that we presented it's not a thing night
what horse I heard about there was some
horse in the meatballs over have you
ever eaten horse I mean I guess I have
because I but the largest IKEA in the
world and I know I haven't I would never
you know
okay for the record for the record yet
it's in Coogan's curva Queen one-car
Holmen South Coogan's curva it's the
largest oh and scarves like only funny
to me I'm sorry Coonan scoot about it
yeah yeah what are you that's Kings at
kerb Kings curve and the largest IKEA in
the world is there five hundred ninety
four thousand squares of it has four
floors you've never been there that's
legit no and that's it that's the I mean
I feel like I'm less Swedish now for now
and go in there well you should go there
now what about the Swedish Chef from the
Muppet Show you you love him right
you as a people I feel I feel like I
should be offended but I'm really not
yeah I mean it's very culturally
insensitive but that's the whole point
yeah is to just get it all out of her
system and correct it at least as far as
I imagine is how Swedish songs it's
pretty much as a kid I was taught
through this guy this is this is Sweden
I mean it's not that far up I I would
say you can confirm that this is an
accurate portrayal of Swedish yes yes I
wouldn't say that big horse meatballs
but you know yes but was there an
awareness of this guy on the Muppets
growing up in Sweden like when did you
find out about this guy from Americans
okay they want to know about him I
actually like in YouTube comments that
was the first time you heard about I
think so yeah really I am terrified of
Muppets it's an old long story but I
stay away but do save that for ear
biscuits do the Swedish people do they
have it
Stane for the swedish chef are they like
oh man that Swedish Chef that
stereotypical Swedish we hate him and
what he represents I know that's pretty
much yeah
we don't really get offended in Sweden
period no ever that's good you can try
and like you can try often meme whatever
what about this five-week vacation oh
that's that's amazing for real yeah
that's real everybody gets a bye
everyone is I think it's six really and
if you you get a lot of pregnancy hours
to no D's I mean okay yeah you get like
nine months get a lot of time to get
pregnant on they give you time because
no six hours I'm backing procreation
you're pregnant no wait turn up yeah
that's yeah it might turn into leave
whatever yeah many businesses closed
down for the month of July everyone
takes some or all of their five weeks of
their entitled annual holiday cuz here
waiting so lost weight here it's like
okay you've got holidays you can take
you've got time you can take but people
don't take all of it in two weeks if
you're lucky really but but my notes
tell me the entire month of July is when
the five week thing is shuts down in
July yes people get pregnant you're not
working exactly yeah I would say so yeah
that's where most people because we
Sweden kinda sucks the weather is awful
really yeah it's terrible
and it's only good in July so people
don't know why should I be working now
exactly but have you taken five weeks
you're a youtuber that means you don't
take any vacation right but no I never
had like a full-time job like that so no
I never never got to do that okay but
your friends quickly yeah yeah okay and
finally is that design that weird well
it's just I mean we work a little bit
harder that's all that is pretty amazing
we try I wish we could learn from you
