The expedition participants call this moment historic and claim that the proof is their own baked šakotis – if it withstands the difficult travel conditions, it will be brought back to Lithuania as a souvenir over the weekend.

“We tried to disprove the rumors that men can only do one thing at a time. For three hours, exactly the duration of our show, the šakotis was baked from 60 eggs, in a wood-fired oven, turning it by hand. One turned the lever, another poured the batter, and at the same time, we were broadcasting live on M1. Of course, we had professional baking help nearby, so we calculated that our contribution was about 40 percent of the šakotis,” laughed Ričardas.
“Then the wonderful hostess of the house surprised us – she came dressed in a traditional Samogitian costume. The evening was better than we could have expected, even with dancing. It is heartening to see how Lithuanians cherish our country’s traditions abroad and value them,” Arnoldas continued.

The travel adventures are followed not only by M1 listeners in Lithuania but also in Norway. Radio show hosts say that compatriots recognize them on the road, greet them, invite them to their homes, and offer help whenever needed.
During this M1 Men’s Expedition, A. Eisimantas and R. Mikavičius travel around Norway and visit Lithuanians registered in the project, not only trying out their jobs but also trying to persuade them to return to live in Lithuania.

Earlier, before the beautiful tradition of the M1 radio station to especially celebrate National Men’s Day on the last Friday of May appeared less than a decade ago, such entertainments as swimming with inflatable dolls or football in the mud gradually turned into travel expeditions. Initially, A. Eisimantas and his colleague from the show “This is my radio,” Tomas Jazdauskas, hosted radio shows while traveling around the Baltic Sea and trying to survive in wild conditions. In the second year, they connected to live broadcasts in a tiny Italian “Fiat” car while transporting collected male Lithuanian sins for their redemption to the Vatican. Last year, this project literally took off to a higher level – the hosts flew around Lithuania in a special M1 plane and held broadcasts even while in the air. This, the fourth, M1 Men’s Expedition set off to Norway to collect adventures.
