Andrew SouthworthHOST
Um, and a few other specific holiday, uh, coordinated...
Andrew SouthworthHOST
I think I even worked on a so- a song that was, like, about Leif Erikson Day or something like that.
Andrew SouthworthHOST
I don't even know what holiday is.
Matt BaconHOST
That's sick.
Lauren ChenHOST
So I just, I feel like it's one of those things, by the time I report on it, we'll probably be back to square one anyway.
Lauren ChenHOST
[laughs] Should be National Leif Erikson Day and not Columbus Day.
Lauren ChenHOST
Um, yeah, so anyway, I don't, I don't know.
Lauren ChenHOST
Let me know which, which, uh, Ukraine...
Andy HooserHOST
We celebrate it because of the risk that Christopher Columbus took.
Andy HooserHOST
That's why we celebrate Leif Erikson Day on Friday this past week, because the first Viking that made it here even almost a thousand years prior to Christopher Columbus did it in a rowboat and was like, hey, we found a new land.
Andy HooserHOST
This is pretty awesome.
Andy HooserHOST
We traveled the season.
Zack OwenHOST

Today, if you watched the episode Bubble Buddy on SpongeBob, he left by saying, Happy Leif Erikson Day! Today is Leif Erikson Day.
Ashley PageHOST
Aww.
BradHOST
So says
DanielHOST
So for some reason, they thought late November, early December was Viking time.
DanielHOST
Is that like, is that Leif Erikson Day or something around? When's Leif Erikson Day? Is there a Leif Erikson Day? What cartoon was that? That was a running joke.
DanielHOST
Leif Erikson Day is October 9th.

I feel like it was Ren and Stimpy.

No, it's Spongebob.

Leif Erikson Day is a running joke on Spongebob.

Texas, do we think today being Leif Erikson Day is a good omen for the Cards? Is
Trevor KelseyHOST
it really Leif Erikson Day?

Mike RutherfordHOST
Day, the annual observance that occurs on October 9th.
Andy HooserHOST
Today is almost Christopher Columbus Day, which is Monday, but that's not why it's a holiday.
Andy HooserHOST
No, today is actually Leif Erikson Day.
Andy HooserHOST
I don't know if you knew that or not.
Andy HooserHOST
So Andy, who's Leif Erikson? I'm glad you asked.
Andy HooserHOST
We have to celebrate the indigenous people who, you know, slaughtered each other and took over each other and enslaved each other and killed each other and did crazy stuff.
Andy HooserHOST
Anyway, so we have to celebrate them on Monday, not Christopher Columbus, because he's a terrible, horrible human being who's a white person and therefore the biggest threat to all of us, right? So that's where we're at.
Andy HooserHOST
But today is Leif Erikson Day.
Andy HooserHOST
Who is Leif Erikson? He was the great Norwegian Viking who made it to the Americas a thousand years prior to Christopher Columbus.
Chase McCabeHOST
Uh, International Beer and Pizza Day, always together.
