Balvin started the discussion on the podcast – talking about the high suicide rates in Sweden. And he claimed that the ever-climbing suicide rates can be due to “no expectations.” from its citizens.  The singer went on to discuss how the government in Sweden takes care of its population, and the basic facilities are free to access for its citizens.

Balvin said, “There’s no reason why you would want to wake up and do what.” He further added, “That’s how balance have to be there one way or the other. I really study about mental health, and that’s one of the reason why that happens.” 

Belvin is possibly hinting at the popular phrase “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop” which might be the cause for depression among its citizens.

Tyson pitched in and talked about another phenomenon in these European counties. He said, “In countries, they have these white nights. where they feel like this all day long.”

He further revealed how there would be bright nights six times a month. And he shared the time he himself personally witness it while in Finland.
