Turkmenistan is a wild and crazy place. They have a giant city with tons of stuff to do...but most of the citizens can't/don't actually go there. They had 2 eccentric dictators in the past 30 years who created a ton of wild laws and monuments. And they love Guinness World Records which they have broken quite a few of. 

 Oh and we can't forget that #turkmenistan also has a burning pit in the middle of the desert that has been on fire since the 70s. Pretty neat. 

This is a place of contradictions and we get right into the ins and outs of this very...distinct country. We talk about what kind of crazy stuff we would do if we were a dictator and what kind of Guinness records we realistically could break. 

Have you been to Turkmenistan? Tell us what we missed or what we (hopefully) got right!

Deep within the country of South Africa, we have another country completely inside, #lesotho.  Lesotho is one of the highest countries on Earth. Well by average height. The lowest point here is higher than the lowest point anywhere else. Or something like that. 

They have a lot of water...but unfortunately for Lesotho, they sell most of it to their neighbor South Africa. 

It's also a land famous for it's distinct hat...and boy do we get into a deep discussion about hats. Check it out and maybe you'll learn a thing or two! It's about time you did, right?

The Countryboyz make their first stop in Eastern Europe at the tiny nation of Moldova. This place might be the least visited country in Europe but is still bigger than some of the other countries we've been to. 

We're talking about enormous wine cellars over 150 miles long. 
We're talking about the strange and self-sustaining region of Transnistria that longs for it's Soviet past. 
And we talk about places we've been that "recreate" the past; Colonial Williamsburg, St. Augustine, Civil war Reenactments!!!

The CountryBoyz are back in Africa for this one! Well, technically in Africa but a small chain of islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean in the country known as Seychelles. 

These islands have been a melting pot of people and were actually founded by pirates! On top of that, we get into a military coup attempt by a mercenary named Mad Mike Hoare. A hidden treasure worth a buttload of money.  And one of their delicacies, fruit bat curry!!!

We have a very special backyard episode where we talk about the smallest country in South America, Suriname! 

As Suriname is a very mixed country, we get into what everyone wants to hear about: our favorite party mixes! Chex, Crispix, candy, nuts!? Are we nuts? Maybe. 

We then get into some outrageous dictators/rulers, the first time you dropped a cuss word in front of your parents and at the end we even try a few of the national dishes. Bojo and Pom.

CountryBoyz are BACK BABY!!! Except for Matt. There were some renovations going on in our studio space but those are all done and we're ready to check out the mysterious Himalayan country known as Bhutan. 

None of us really knew too much about Bhutan but once we started digging, we found some pretty cool stuff. 

The government measures their success on Gross Domestic Happiness. They have a national dress code that all citizens must follow. They put a ban on smoking which can catch ya 3-5 years in the slammer. And last but not least, certain regions of the country have a weird obsession with the PENIS! Yup. 

Overall though, Bhutan is a pretty interesting country, unlike any we've been to before. Find out about these crazy facts and more in the latest episode of CountryBoyz!!!

On this episode, we take a trip to the Pyrenees Mountains and go to the mall-of-a-country, Andorra! This itty bitty country is a shopper's paradise because of no taxes and a bunch of different shops. Shop till drop!!! That's why most people go here but they also got some nice scenery and mountains galore, if you're into that kinda thing. 

We talk about  Andorra being one of the most educated places with 100% literacy and they speak at least 4 languages. We get into Boris Skossyreff - a shady scammer who became ruler of the country...for about a week. And we going with the mall theme, we get into everyone's favorite subject, MALL FOOD COURTS!!!

Kiribati is a cluster of islands in the Pacific ocean. Well, technically it's a cluster of atolls if you wanna be a big ol' nerd about it! 

This place is a real life version of the Kevin Costner movie Water World. They are experiencing the effects of global warming first hand and unfortunately might not be around for much longer. 

But while they are here...we talk about strange time zones, a bartering system they use called "bubut" (we think), and gangs of vicious dogs roaming the islands!!!

Shake, shake, shake. Shake Djibouti. Ok, we get it. It has "booty" in the name and that won't stop us from making that joke over and over! It's kind of hard not to. 

On this crazy episode, we are joined by guest host Champagne Shane! Djibouti is the third smallest country in Africa and is very strategic. It's located right by the Red Sea and the Gulf Aden so a lot of ships pass by here and a lot of world militaries are located there. We get into why this place is so strategic, the best strategy/board games, chewing khat and more!

We also talk briefly about Djibouti too, if that's your thing.

Belize is a bit of an anomaly. It's a Central American country that identifies more as a Caribbean island. It's a tiny place with a lot going on and a true mix-mash of different cultures. 

They got blue waters, they got pristine jungles, they got a top secret thumb-style handshake only known by Belizeans. Or something like that, you let us know. 

We get down and dirty on this episode, re-hashing Jeff's distain towards scuba diving. A lifelong  bet involving Sunny Delight. A wild tech tycoon who made his compound in Belize. And of course all the corny Belize/Believe jokes that you would imagine.  Just like the country of Belize, this is not something you wanna miss!
