this is the part of the show where you get to do the talking. only you know what you need to say. or mostly know. or kinda know. well, we definitely don't know what you know. unless we do know after all. which means we're hiding something.

random sauna saying:

Sanoi seppo Ilmarinen: "Annikki sisarueni!
Taon sulle sukkulaisen, taon sormukset soreat,
kahet, kolmet korvaskullat, viiet, kuuet vyöllisvitjat:
lämmitä kyly metinen, saustuta simainen sauna
hienoisilla halkosilla, pienillä pirastehilla!
Laai pikkuisen poroa, lipeäistä liuvahuta,
millä päätäni pesisin, varruttani valkoaisin
sykysyisistä sysistä, taonnoista talvisista!"

Ilmarinen said: "Anniki, my sister!
I will make a shuttle for you, lovely rings for your fingers,
Two or three pair for your ears, five, six hangers for your belt.
Now just heat a sauna for me, make the vapour sweet as honey,
Make the fire up with small kindling, sticks and splinters quickly burning.
With a little lye and ahses, make some lye soap ready for me,
So that I can clean my head, scrub my body till I'm white,
Wash away the soot of autumn and the ash of winter's work."

--Kalevala 18:259-273
