did you know that in Russia dogs ride trains and cats have a show in a theater what let’s talk about good mythical morning thank you for being you you are special to us you’re not just a view you’re also a like in a comment oh if you do that just kidding we’re glad that you watch and we counted a privilege to do this show for you we do and you know what watch we couldn’t keep doing in addition to good mythical morning you’re going to be watching a lot of broadcasting from Russia over the next couple of weeks us athletes descend upon Sochi to compete for their country if you’re a normal person watching bigger ad but how much do you really know about Russia nothing huh basically and don’t you want to have some cool Russian facts to impress friends at Russian parties or just regular parties yes how about Russian friends at parties how about American friends at Park I just like to have friends or just friends can I make a friend because I have a Russian fact Pluto is smaller than Russia would you believe that Russia is the biggest country on earth with over 17 million square kilometers Pluto only has 16.6 Square sixteen point six million square kilometers on its surface so if we bald Russia up yeah if you walk to real Russia be a planet yeah if you rapped Russia around Pluto there would be a little bit you have to cut off with the big galactic scissors that helps you picture it yes it doesn’t there is a radioactive lake of death who doesn’t Pluto is not even planet Pluto is nothing and so I pollute oh is a former planet yeah they have a radioactive lake of death not on Pluto in Russia this is Lake Karachay I don’t know how you say it I’m going to say Karachi because it looks like karate but different it’s so radioactive that it is said that it can kill you within one hour if you stand near it really and the Soviet Union used this lake as a dumping site for radioactive waste from miok the nearby nuclear waste storage and reprocessing facility according to the Worldwatch Institute on nuclear waste this is the most polluted spot on earth and this is where everyone is competing no no it’s like jumping like opponents they do not have a waterskiing uh competition well that’s not a water-ski anyway that’s um summer so yeah this is uh this is the most polluted spot on earth so this is not like a tourist attraction I’d you I’ve not heard of this plate but I’m signing it up I’m gonna be the first one there I’m gonna wear a shield and everything well it is sad let’s not let’s not make like um they have a cat theater the Moscow cat theater is a traveling cat circus we got cats on tightropes cats walking across the stage balancing on balls cats walking upside down not the kind of thing that I would personally be into but apparently it is the stuff in Moscow so people are into this how do they train cats you can’t train a cat take it yeah you have to yet to speak Russian do it mm-hmm that’s that right that’s what they figured out if you speak English to the cat it’s stubborn and seems like a diva but as soon as you start speaking its languages like I’ll walk on anything for you all cats are Russian it seems like that’s a dangerous statement um no I don’t restraint you can need trained cats but you have to just be really disciplined to the whisper uh but cats aren’t the only thing when it comes to animals in Russia that is interesting in fact this is this is going to blow your mind there are over 500 feral dogs in Moscow who know how to ride the subway system so this is kind of a big deal in Moscow to see these feral dogs this isn’t several Russian cities to see these feral dogs running around a stray dog you know we’ve got stray dogs here too sure but these dogs are so smart that they have learned to every single day on a schedule get onto the subway and take it to a certain place to get food and there’s all these theories as to how do they know the stops and everything yes people say that they know how long to be on the train or maybe they’re getting off with a particular person or maybe they actually can hear what the announcer is saying and they learn I mean they’re smart they’re smart mammals right so they’re going and then debatable they could be just I think they were just peeing and marking the territory and they could smell their help you up this is where I got off last week smell myself you know that’s how I access the dogs they pee there you say is like a system uh kind of I’m familiar a little bit with this but it seems that you’re on thin thin ice okay your theory all right most Russian cars have a dash cam you may have seen I’ve heard of the Russian dash cam compilation videos there’s a lot of them this is a very popular genre of YouTube and I’m thinking how did they get this video footage I you know and then I realized Nick our friend said I’m gonna get a dash cam you know because for insurance purposes they do it in rut that’s how they get all the footage in Russia well and most people have them in Russia because of all the denied insurance claims all the hit and runs the crazy stuff that happens on the road they want a way to substantiate it and it’s the only way you could Sasan she ate a claim in a court of law is about look at the dashcam footage what they also want to be able to create their own YouTube channel right well I think I don’t know if those people are making much money off of that I think the compilers are the ones doing that oh peter the great once issued a tax on beers this guy him right you remember out right all pete he was great yeah he’s an emperor of russia from 1680 to to 1721 he’s a progressive thinker he thought that beards were too old-fashioned and he wanted to modernize russia and if you paint your beard tax in order to be able to walk around with a beard you got a beard token to be like nope I’ve got the beard token don’t put me in jail or don’t tax me I’ve got the beard token how much would you pay in order to keep that beard in in current society you cannot put a price on it no well if you really what price would you put on to carat to have this monthly I would pay a thousand dollars a month in order to have this beard really yes I mean I couldn’t paint the price of itchiness to keep my beard honestly a thousand dollars a month and it trust me it pays for itself alright what else do you have okay a Russian woman holds the world record for the most children birthed by a single woman this woman who is the wife of Fyodor Vesey Elif ves Vesey I don’t care what the aim is I can’t she gave earlier she gave birth to 69 children one woman gave birth to 69 children but she only had kids 27 times it’s still like a superhighway down 16 16 pairs of twins 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets between 1725 and 1765 and then listen she died probably from giving birth well we don’t we don’t know there and well I’m assuming and then her husband Theodore goes on and marries another woman he makes her have 18 children makes her half think about this guy was involved but he was going for a hundred he only got 287 total good for you Theodore you don’t don’t make him the star here this year no I’m I’m patronizing who doesn’t care anymore your genes have infiltrated most of the world because you’re crazy you give him the political point yes like that okay I hope you know more about Russia and you
