00:00well speaking of a champ a back-to-back champ nico mikula our favorite the polar bear oh condor

00:07he uh had his day with the cup and uh this is what he had to say to

00:11the folks in finland they were at his childhood rink where there's now a nico mikula mural

00:17and now we're at my my old old hockey rink where i where every everything started so uh we we were

00:29here last year and they made it like this painting and it was very cool to bring it back here and take

00:35the pictures yeah it's very cool like uh we've been doing the things we didn't have a time last year

00:42and uh it's a it's kind of like different day for me also like i can i can do a little bit

00:50different things i can what i didn't have a time to do last year so uh it's very cool to

00:56see my like old schools and like that was that was very special for me and also the hospital

01:02obviously it was it was very nice finnish people they they love hockey and they they know hockey

01:09so well so it's kind of they know it's the hardest trophy to win and and there's kind of the magic on

01:18and mute on the stanley cup so it's it's very special for them to see it and also celebrating with

01:27with me it was amazing last year and i think this whole day is gonna be really nice again and we're

01:35gonna have fun and catching up with all the all the family and you don't have a time every every

01:42week to see them or speak with them like the whole whole friends and family getting together get together

01:49so it's it's it's gonna be blast for sure there you go nico mikola why is he bigger than his mural

01:57he's a giant no he's the scariest thing on skates is that crazy he's the scariest thing on skates

02:04he's towering over his mural he's so it looks like him and it's not a statue that looks like somebody

02:11else no no i think you're referring to the d wade statue which has angles it has angles if you have

02:17to say that it has angles like you have to look at it from the south side my no my argument would be

02:24nobody is seeing now other than nico mikola nobody is seeing the statue of dwayne wade head on and so

02:30it's more important that it has angles when you're looking up you know it has angles what happened was

02:37everybody had these dead-on shot nobody nobody sees it like that because nobody is shaquille o'neal

02:41let's see i never mentioned the dwayne wade statue so i knew what you're referring to you think you're

02:47being cute i know who else were you referring to then jennifer maybe sofia berrigado's face

02:53yeah that didn't look like sofia vergara it really didn't but i'm just saying uh nico mikola like if

03:00he has a statue they could just make it of a polar bear you know polar bears are easy to make statues of

03:06it is pretty cool though all of them got to meet the uh i'm sure they've done it before but once again

03:10they were hobnobbing with the finnish president really yeah they uh it was him bark off at two

03:18and uh who the hell am i missing oh lundie lundie they all got to go meet the finnish president

03:25who was what was the olympics where the uh the lady the uh lady president i can't think of

03:34that was a couple that was a couple the one who was she was hanging with putin yeah it was so long

03:39ago putin was allowed to be in the olympics yeah who's the uh i don't remember i think she was like the

03:45czech president something like that something like that i met them president no the uh they

03:52were they were hobnobbing with the finnish president and i think really what he's doing is he's keeping

03:56his you know he's keeping his friends close but enemies closer because he probably knows alexander

04:01barkoff could be president of finland if he wanted to like let's be real about it like who's gonna who

04:07are you gonna vote for president of finland if you're finnish or alexander barkoff because he's

04:12already showed he can lead he can lead to championships so if barkoff wanted he'd be

04:18like manny pacquiao of finland if he wanted to be i don't know if he wants to be but i'm just saying

04:22if i didn't win well he didn't win but there's corruption in the philippines you know i don't

04:27know and there's not corruption everywhere else i feel like finland's not corrupt

04:32really i don't know i have no idea no idea i have no idea no idea do you think if i put into ai

04:41though if i said is there corruption in finland they'd be like no idiot they're playing hockey

04:47can you please type it and see i don't want to do it in the company computer let's see uh google

04:53all right is there corruption first one is in the u.s government

05:08okay is there corruption in finland it says while finland is consistently ranked as one of the least

05:15corrupt countries globally recent reports and analysis suggest corruption does exist particularly

05:20in areas like public procurement and lobbying and ongoing concerns about transparency and

05:27enforcement of anti-corruption measures hmm hmm some finnish bribery scandals see this is why

05:36alexander barkoff needs to be president when he's done playing hockey you think alexander

05:40alexander barkoff doesn't even celebrate empty netters you think he's gonna he's gonna stand for

05:44corruption somebody said finland was destroyed on south park for being too honest

05:51i'm telling you like if you imagine yeah lobbyists are like what is your job description if you had

05:59did they graduate did you do you graduate from college and say i'm gonna be a lobbyist i don't

06:03know i feel like if you had barkoff as president and and his sergeant in arms was niko mikola one

06:10no one's attacking finland and second of all no corruption really look at that because our president

06:18is not a small dude he's not bigger than listen he's not gonna beat niko mikola in a fight come on

06:24no niko mikola will just take out his hockey stick and put somebody down to the ground

06:30he goes guess what switzerland you're ours now if you wanted to if you wanted to if switzerland was

06:35feeling froggy which i don't think they will be i'm just

06:39karen says finland's main form of income is making igloos i don't think it's that cold there

06:49no don't they have the 24-hour days though i don't know yeah i think we looked this up i think

06:54that's the thing but i don't know what the number one thing in finland i always forget i just feel

06:57like it's hockey players because that's what it seems to be yes it does especially the north most

07:02parts of finland yeah you feel like anton lundell he tries to bring into the cabinet but anton lundell

07:08is too busy partying with the ladies on las olas so barkoff's like we owe it to we owe it to finland

07:14lundi and he goes i don't know man he goes i like being on the lady pyramid here in uh las olas sorry

07:22so then at two lust arena has to pick up the slack because lundi's too busy partying
