2 Guys 3 Crowns

It's a full house again this week as the guys are joined by Erik "the Viking" Östergren! He's an archaeologist and expert guide at Stockholm's very own Viking Museum. And boy, does he know his stuff!

You're definitely going to learn a thing or two from the episode. Skål! Show links Eric's Instagram:...

Straight outta San Fran... Rodney checks in with Sean on the latest in his saga to find documentation allowing his return to Sweden. It involves hiking all over San Francisco, or at least, it felt like all of San Francisco. Those hills really pack a wallop. Plus, Rodney gives us a dose of what it's like to walk through Chinatown in a sea of Pork Bun aromas while hungry. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. And... you can see Rodney while you're there! That's right. Rodney is headed back to the Bay Area. Well, he is trying to anyway. He updates Sean on the latest perils and pitfalls of trying to document yourself, test yourself and check yourself into a flight in the post-Corona world.

The guys are joined this week by YouTube extraordinaire Meagan Nouis! She’s not just any YouTuber, though. She’s got the hottest of takes on American Song Contest, she was on the Bachelor Sweden in (wait for it) South Africa and she’s even been deported back to the US by Migrationsverket. But that won’t stop her. She’s hard at work finding another way back to live in Sweden — and she tells the guys all about it in this week’s episode. Meagan Nouis on YouTube:...

The guys are flying alone again this week, but that doesn’t slow them down. First, they pay tribute to the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

It’s that time of year again… Sweden (and the rest of the nations it will compete against) has selected its entrant into the Eurovision 2022 contest. It’s Melodifestivalen winner Cornelia Jakobs! Sean wonders about the possibility for corruption in the competition and why Swedes think these artists are potentially the best in the country (sorry). He also witnesses the most Swedish thing ever: people skiing without shirts. Then, Rodney almost gets maced when walking to work, and the guys ask...

Rodney takes the whole family out for a lovely dinner, and gets to listen to another patron’s phone conversation the whole time. And you now how much Rodney loves his loud phone talkers.

Welcome back to 2 Guys 3 Crowns! It's been a real challenge to keep our energy up this week with everything going on in Ukraine. However, the 2 guys do their best to relay the joys and pitfalls of living in Stockholm. For instance, Sean gets delivered grassy green bananas, Rodney is paying absurd amounts of money for gas - and he also ponders the deep possibilities (and endless acronyms) of buying a fancy shmancy new TV. Come on in and take a load off, everyone! See acast.com/privacy for...

We hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day last week! Sean had some, ummm, technical difficulties. He has a sneaking suspicion that PostNord is now taking charge of florist deliveries around town.

Also, Rodney may or may not be starting a midnight BBQ YouTube channel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Y'all ready for this? Rodney sure is! He comes decked out in his finest 49ers gear hoping for another playoff win. It's not all about American football, though.
