Media personality Niko Saarinen will share his summer memories in the first episode of the second season of Veronica Verho’s Summer of My Life podcast.
It has happened and happened to Saarinen in the true sense of the phrase. One of Saarinen’s memories takes us to Ruisrock a moment before the corona pandemic. At the festivals, his chewing equipment felt harsh.
– I have laminate teeth. I have never said this out loud. Before putting the laminates in your mouth, you will have such plastic teeth. They seem to be testing what your bite is like, Saarinen explains.
In Ruisrock, one of Saarinen’s teeth came off. A long walk from the festival area took over, but even more annoyed by the detached tooth from the Islands.
– I was so drunk that I bit my teeth so hard that they all eventually fell out. I sometimes had to squat because I was hurt so much. I wanted to take them all out of my mouth during that trip, Saarinen says.
The curtain asks if Saarinen then had no teeth at all.
– It was, the teeth of such a small gerbil, he says and continues, that his own teeth had been sawn to a minimum so that the plastics could be turned on.
– When I woke up from the hotel in the morning, of course I tried my teeth on the tongue. I do this and I realize that I don’t have teeth in my mouth, Saarinen says and states that tearing plastic teeth was not easy.
Saarinen says that for the first time he visited Ruisrock at the age of 15. There was a secondary school group Teknotussut, which included 12 girls and Saarinen.
