About this listen

In this episode, Mike and Nate dive into the complexities of Minnesota culture—especially the infamous "Minnesota Nice"—and how it impacts Somali immigrant integration. They explore the polite yet passive-aggressive communication style, cultural clashes around social expectations, and the invisible barriers that create challenges for newcomers. The discussion also covers historical immigrant groups, cultural differences, and the tension between preserving Somali traditions and adapting to local norms. Alongside thoughtful insights, they pair their conversation with a detailed cigar review of the CAO Nicaragua Toro, and wrap up emphasizing tolerance while firmly rejecting practices like female genital mutilation.
