MoPod Show 2.0 - Gay Comedy Podcast

When Willow Cathiter and I go to the gym we sometimes pop into the sauna to 1: relax potentially sore muscles 2: mentally will fat deposits to melt  and 3: to ogle at the occassional hottie.  If we were super heros in a sauna comic our nemisis would be “Yellow Crocs” a particularly gross troll who stalks and preys on innocent international students who don’t have a great command of the culture or the language.  He’s pretty icky AND wears yellow crocs, which we think might be some kind of fetish reference, but we’ll have to defer that question to any experts out there.    What is interesting about Yellow Crocs is that his workout last all of 3 minutes and his sauna experience lasts for an hour.  We always assumed he was just in cruise mode, but perhaps there is another explanation.

Maybe he was preparing for the International Sauna Championships?

Finland held onto its reign in 2008 Sauna World Championships by sitting in a piping hot sauna for longer than competitors from Belarus and Belgium.  Bjarne Hermansson who won the male championship stayed in a sauna heated to 110 decrees Celsius (230 Fahrenheit) for 18 minutes and 15 seconds.

“It feels wonderful, it is a dream come true,” said Hermansson, his red hot skin covered with sweat.

Hermansson, who has attended the competition every year, said he had trained for it by going to a really hot sauna for more than 30 years.  But he admitted reaching his dream had not been easy. “It was slightly more pain than pleasure,” he said.
