Joel Harkimo makes a revelation about the early days of his relationship with his ex-wife Janni Huss in the Yökylä Maria Veitola program. BEWARE OF PLOT REVEALS!

The Harkimoi family gathers together in the summer depicted Maria Veitola in Yökylä in the program. Hjallis Harkimon and Jasmine Pajarin the boys sitting at the home’s dining table Leo Harkimo and Joel Harkimo and a niece Amanda Harkimo.

Reporter-presenter Maria Veitola asks Pajar how it was to meet the Harkimoi family for the first time.

– It was scary to come to a big dinner when I knew that there was really a lot of family and relatives, Pajari reveals in the episode.

Hjallis states that he was not nervous about bringing his spouse in front of his family for the first time. Joel doesn’t believe Hjallis’s explanation.

– Goofy goofy! It was definitely exciting. At least I’m always very nervous, Joel says to his father.

– Oh, every time you bring a new girlfriend? Hjallis asks and makes the whole party laugh.

The conversation makes Joel remember the time when he brought a rally kart Janni Hussin for the first time at Harkimoi’s Christmas party.

– We sat at a long table, there were probably twenty of us. Everyone just shouted in Swedish. Janni was a quiet person from Kouvola and just like a deer in the headlights. He looked at what was really going on here, Joel recalls, imitating Janni’s horrified expression at the time.

– I remember one moment when Faija is sitting at the other end of the table and my youngest brother Dane at the other end. Then Danne says, “Dad, can I have some fries?” Faija took the potato and threw it across the table to him. A proper circus! When we’re all together, it’s quite a show, he continues, and the group laughs.
