interesting one yeah i think it's like this is i have to tell you sorry i have to tell you this
is the first time like because i think French people will see this.
Yes.
And this is the first time
they see me speak English ever.
Really?
I hope they don't hate you for it.
I don't want them to...
You can just keep speaking in French
if you want.
Okay.
Merci beaucoup.
We're going to dub
all of this interaction
in all of French.
Okay.
We're going to dub it in French.
So this will be...
You just keep speaking English
and we'll hire some French actors.
I can dub myself afterward.
Oh, that's true.
We got Gerard Depardieu,
Luc Besson.
They're going to be dubbing us.
My reference is the French cinema
are so dated.
No, Luc Besson is not so dated.
What was his last movie?
Valkyrie? No? No, Luc Besson is not so dated. What was his last movie? Val Kidd?
No?
The movie with...
I watched French movies.
A big one.
I think Luc Besson's last movies have not been that good.
I'll say it.
I think his old stuff is way better.
Yeah, sure.
You know Taxi?
Yeah.
You told me about Taxi yeah i watched i watched taxi the
series was yamakasi his as well yeah yeah and you know bonnieu 13 like french people will appreciate
that yeah district 13 yeah bonnieu 13 great movie a lot of a lot of uh free running uh or parkour
for those of you who don't know in french French cinema. I don't know why French people are obsessed with parkour.
Good question.
Why are we obsessed about it?
That's crazy.
We had so many movies with parkour in it.
But Yamakasi is the biggest one.
You have a sport, a parkour tag.
Parkour tag?
Or that was at TwitchCon.
We were at TwitchCon.
That's why we're here in France.
And one of the things that they had,
they had these big exhibitions.
One of them was a parkour competition.
It's like tag.
Tag your itch.
Yeah, yeah.
Chat.
In French, it's chat.
Chat.
So it was chat.
So they have a competition,
and they were filming it.
Really?
They had obstacles,
and they would run over it
and run around it. It was crazy. I saw videos on youtube about it but it's not french yes oh
it's not no i don't think so we thought we thought it was french well because we're american we come
into a new place and we say oh it's yeah probably french i don't think so by By the way, so this is my first time to France. And for the viewers at home that don't know, we came for TwitchCon.
And we stayed at probably the worst part of Paris that we possibly could have.
For sure.
Port de Versailles, right?
Which is not, it's the convention area.
So I arrived and I was not impressed by Paris.
Because I thought about Paris as this grand, beautiful place
with fine dining
and then I was in Port de Versailles,
which I don't know what the equivalent
in LA would be,
but it's like going to Los Angeles
and staying in, I don't know,
what do you think?
Hollywood.
Not even.
On Hollywood Boulevard.
Hollywood has a rep though at least.
People accidentally go and stay there.
Nobody's repping Port de Versailles in France.
Right.
So we do that, and I'm like, man, France is mid.
Until we meet you, and you take us on one of the most fabulous Parisian fine dining experiences
to a beautiful, I don't even know what the restaurant was called
I couldn't pronounce it
Le Relais Plaza
Le Relais Plaza
and you took us to a dinner
that started at 8.30pm
and went till 1.30 in the morning
it was a long one
we shut the restaurant down
we had escargot.
We had caviar.
We had things I couldn't pronounce and wine that I've never tasted before
from far reaches of France.
And we walk out, we see the Eiffel Tower.
It's lit up.
I mean, Paris made a comeback thanks to you.
You were such a basic bitch.
It's not even funny.
One meal and you're like, okay, I love this. One meal and a view on the Eiffel Tower made a comeback thanks to you you were such a you were such a basic bitch it's not even funny one meal one meal
and you're like
okay I love this
one meal and a view
on the Eiffel Tower
and Austin
he hasn't seen
he hasn't seen the Louvre
he hasn't seen any
have you even seen
Arc de Triomphe
or anything like that
I don't even know
what that is
we were close to it
I need to come back
to Paris to experience it
he hasn't seen
any of the cultural stuff
is why most people come to Paris.
I know.
The first thing, I'm really bad
because the first thing I land in Paris
and the first thing I say is,
where's the gay bar?
Which is not, you know what I mean?
You have very nice ones in Le Marais.
Yes, I found one.
Yeah.
Talk to us about it.
Can I tell you about it?
Yeah, sure.
Oh, let me tell you about the gay bar in France.
So how is the gay game in Paris?
Oh my God. The gay people in France. How is the gay game in Paris? The gay people in France
are so much...
so direct. The gay people in the United States
are direct. I went to
a gay bar in France called Raid.
This gay bar is amazing. It's famous
for every 30 minutes or so
a guy comes out and showers naked
in this shower. They've got a glass
case. Have you been to this bar before? No.
Well, we'll go next time in Paris. We'll all go to the we'll all go to the gate it's a lot of fun and i go in and i kid you not within 30 seconds of going into this bar somebody asked
me to give them a blow job they say oh give me a blow job and i said 30 seconds 30 kid you not
give me a blow job i said so he's just in there like no no no
I didn't do it
he's like wow
she said
I would like
you know
give me
give me a blowjob
and I said
my friend
give him a blowjob
and I was like
oh no I'm good
he's like
his cum tastes like cookies
and I was like
oh my god
this is crazy
then a guy asked me
within another 30 seconds
let me see your penis
and I was like oh my gosh
all of this in 30 seconds like within a minute or two very very quick boom boom wow incredible
experience everybody and that's when austin knew he's like this is the greatest place yeah i love
it so open so amazing everybody was very direct and it was it was wonderful um so that was my gay experience in france i i uh met some
guys but the thing is is i met these guys i was like oh french guys oh they were dutch i didn't
know that until it was too late like i said zero french dick yeah so far you have one last night
you better you're not gonna talk about french dicksixie. No, I didn't. I couldn't.
I couldn't have a night.
And they're not circumcised.
But neither are the Dutch.
Oh. Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I knew that beforehand.
And I didn't do anything.
What's your preference on that?
Do you have a preference?
Because all you guys are, with respect,
is that okay if I...
You guys are all uncircumcised.
I'm circumcised.
Not all of us, because there are many, many people.
Yeah, Muslims.
I'm circced up.
He's circumcised.
Circced up, boys. It's terrible.
I am uncircumcised.
They took that away from us.
Most Americans are circumcised.
Really?
Yes.
For what?
No reason.
No reason?
No.
I think they say hygiene,
but honestly, I don't know.
I fucking don't know how to do it.
Isn't that crazy?
Could you imagine?
I'm so sorry.
We've just met,
and I'm talking about your penis.
Imagine. We started like
three minutes ago. Okay, let's talk about dicks now.
Very fast.
330 million Americans.
Half of them are men.
All their dicks are cut. Imagine
150 plus million
dicks. Just think about that.
It's a lot of skin.
Yes, a lot of skin yes a lot of skin where's
it going that's what we're here to find out where is it going where are the dick skins at um that's
gotta go we've been out here look i i last time i came to paris i came with my family we did the
whole tourist thing you know we were we stayed in this artist's airbnb it was beautiful it was like
this attic uh you know we stayed in a nice arrondissement
which was like close to everything you know what i mean it was very different than port de versailles
which is awful it's really bad um but uh you know i mean i had a good time i went to entrecote i
went to all these like places that you're supposed to go to like things like that yeah exactly but
it was it was all right it was like a regular tourist
experience i love paris i think paris is very nice i think it's very beautiful i certainly
preferred over london but this time my experience has not been so great it was great when we went
to dinner and then maybe i had too good of a time because all hell broke loose immediately after
that dinner i went home home. I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning.
And, you know, I took a shower.
We got ready to go to the convention hall.
And we started off our day.
And there's a golf cart experience.
Now, you guys might have heard this already because I talked about it on my Instagram.
No.
He has no idea.
But your boy has a broken rib.
Yeah.
And it's not great.
I have a fractured finger and broken finger.
Your finger's fine.
What the fuck happened?
You have one band-aid on your finger.
Well, okay, in France, are you guys known, the driving is a bit, what is the perception,
like, is the driving safe here?
Everybody is angry when it comes to driving.
Is the driving, like, a bit scary here?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so it's not inappropriate to say...
As somebody who lives in France,
you say the driving is a bit crazy.
Yeah.
Okay.
In Paris.
Yes.
So we had a guy that was channeling that energy
while he was driving this golf cart.
Yeah.
I never took a golf cart in like 10 years.
So why you come the same time?
You have a golf cart. I don years. So why you come just one time and you have a golf cart?
I don't know why we brought them here.
No, they were transporting us to the back because the convention gets really hectic.
Okay.
So it's really hard for security to like walk you through crowds to get to the place that you need to get to, right?
So they have like a back entrance for golf carts. So they take us, they put us in this golf cart from this parking lot,
and they drive us down to the convention hall where we're supposed to do our
meet and greet.
And it's me, Rambo, Jack Manifold, Austin,
and a Twitch representative and the driver.
This is a six-person golf cart.
Austin and I are sitting in the back facing the back.
So it's one of those long ones.
And this golf cart goes down the he started off real fast
he was hauling he was like flooring and i was enjoying to the floor just going crazy i was
enjoying it i was like this is kind of sick this guy was egging him on he's like yeah i was like
yeah let's do it and then i mean i didn't tell him to fucking hook a left turn going, you know, 40 miles an hour.
We're going down a hill, okay?
What the fuck?
Down a hill.
The guy was hauling ass, right?
Yeah, so much weight.
And he takes a turn.
Let me.
And it was a U-turn.
It was like a U-turn.
Like you had to turn back, right?
Who was the driver?
I want to know.
We don't know.
I don't think he's with the company anymore.
Yeah.
But he takes a turn.
And as we take the turn
of course
laws of physics
we flip
and my life
flashed before my eyes
it was really
it was really interesting
because like
at first
when the left turn
is happening
it started drifting
and you could hear
it was like
nice moment
yeah
when it drifts
you're like
wow
yeah
and I was thinking
this is sick you knew the drift was
gonna i knew the drift was gonna fail and one second later yes and then it was like slow mo
it was weird it was like slow motion like i heard the drift and then i started feeling like it was
tilting and i started bracing for impact and it was like like it was slow motion i could like see
it tilting tiltingting, tilting.
I was thinking, uh-oh, it's not so sick anymore.
Then, boom!
The crash.
Immediately when that happened,
everything just went back into double speed.
He hits the
pavement.
I got a little bit of road rash here.
You can kind of see.
I hit his ribs, right?
I break my finger, fracture it in three different places.
And what about other people?
What about three other people with you?
So we're in the cart, and the person in the front was fine, luckily.
But Rambo, who's another content creator who had a meet and greet,
he's screaming, my foot.
My foot, my foot's foot stuck so we're all
in shock so immediately we hopped out well i had to tell austin to get off of me i was in shock
because he was he was just like laying on me so dramatic i was uh yeah he's just laying on top
of me like there's nothing nothing has happened we're fine he used me as an airbag i did is he
called massive one soft landing yeah yeah so i'm like also get off me we get out of the cart um
and immediately we have to pick this cart up because it was on his foot like the cart was
like yeah his foot was stuck under the cart luckily his foot's fine i think it's like a
little bit swollen and um i i just started feeling a
little bit of discomfort in my chest and i was like oh no you know i i just know that it's like
possibly like a hairline fracture or something and then the medics come and they were like oh
you got to go see a doctor because it's like most likely like a rib fracture or you broke your ribs and
that's what the doctor said the doctor was like yeah you you broke your ribs
Wow so right now you have a broken rib yeah so now I and then this but with the
with the broken rib we still did a meeting Greek yeah we did yeah we still
didn't back after this too yeah I got through the pain of this look at this
I mean
they should give me a purple heart in France
what is the equivalent the purple heart
have you heard of the purple heart
in the US when you get like a very brave
soldier
he doesn't like the US military
oh god
another subject
sorry sorry
oh ok in France ok another subject sorry sorry sorry sorry no oh okay
in France
it's a legion d'honneur
yeah
so
anyways
you know
yeah
I love that you took the splint off
because he was like
always like
give me the most dramatic thing
you can point
he was telling doctors
to give him like
the biggest rap ever
so he could be like
oh my finger is broken
you're so dramatic it's crazy that's crazy i play it up laying on the ground yeah oh
so he just has a broken rib man i know i know but he's a big guy yeah it's okay it's not the
end of the world it just hurts when i laugh it hurts when i breathe it's it's weird because it's like if i if
i sit in like specific positions it's fine and i've just been eating a lot of uh this this
paracetamol thing yeah you have this in u.s no we call it advil or tylenol no this is uh this is
yeah that's what the doctor gave me yeah it's a nice he he literally was like i'll give you i
can't i can't tell if he was like do french people fuck around like do they joke what the doctor gave me he literally was like I'll give you I can't tell if he was like do French people
fuck around like do they joke
because the doctor was like I'll give you oxycodone
fentanyl what do you want
fentanyl yeah that's what he said
yeah but it's like we don't have it
I think he was just joking
he must have been joking I was like
whoa dude I was like no I'm good
he's like I give you whatever you want I was like no
no man I just give me He's like, I give you whatever you want. I was like, no, no, man.
Just give me some Advil.
So he gave me this.
He's like, this is the French one.
It's better.
Yeah.
And we were surprised because we were like, can we get like a mobile X-ray or something?
Like somebody comes to the hotel.
But in France, they don't work.
The medical system is much more, well, first of all, it's better. Yeah. You don't pay a dime, right? Yeah. It depends. But most of the time, you don't work the the medical system is much more uh well first of all it's better yeah
you don't pay a dime right if you go yeah it depends but most of the time you don't pay anything
but in the u.s it costs like your whole life savings but you can get a like a medical like
x-ray maybe he's like telling the this french doctor like so are there like mobile x-rays
maybe they can come and like you know come to your house or your hotel room and like give you a quick x-ray i'm like no that's not a thing i don't even think that's a
thing in america i was just i was trying to be resourceful right because we had a meet and greet
to get to i was thinking you know you didn't do the x-rays no so how do you know it's broken or
just uh well you know how we say it he's just like he just like touched it and and it must be so painful yeah so what he what he said
is like um basically if it's like hyper localized the pain okay then it's most likely like uh like
a fracture or a break and the difference between like a full break versus a fracture is marginal
i guess because it's just like it just limits the recovery.
Like if it's a if it's a full break, you recover in like four weeks, five weeks.
If it's just a fracture, three to four weeks.
So that's it.
And there's not really much you can do.
Have you broken a bone?
Never.
Really?
I've never broken a bone either.
One little bone in your hand.
Yeah.
So what was the process?
Did you go to the hospital?
I was at a ski. OK. So I just went to x-rays go to the hospital? I was at Ski.
So I just went to x-rays.
They told me, oh, it's broken.
Did you have to go to an emergency room and then they do the x-ray?
Yeah, that's it.
So no mobile x-ray.
No mobile?
No mobile.
Nobody does that.
I honestly
said it half joking because I don't in an area either I said it half joking
Because I don't think it exists
Yeah
I said it half joking
But Twitch went and investigated
Whether it existed
Yeah
Twitch was great
I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist
I'll tell you this much
After the thing happened
The executives were freaking the fuck out
They were like
Oh shit
Because like
We're like three of the headliners
At the event
Going to our meeting greet with, like, Rambo 2, going to our fucking meeting greets.
And, like, they almost killed us.
Yeah.
They would have been holding candlelight vigils at our next.
So the executives were freaking out.
They, like, pulled us aside.
They were like, is everything okay?
They sent us a care package.
Yeah, I was going to say.
So one of the things They did
They were like
Hey sorry for your
Broken fucking ribs
They sent us
A care package
Yeah
And I actually brought
One of the care
One of the things
From the care package
As a gift
To say sorry
As a gift for you
Oh my gosh
I have some too
Well you're selfish
So
You didn't do that
I unpack this now
Yeah Is it good I don't know what it is It's champagne I have some too. Well, you're selfish. So you didn't do that. I unpack this now?
Yeah.
Is it good?
I don't know what it is.
It's champagne.
Bill Carr Salmon.
Yeah.
I don't even know this brand, guys.
Oh, no.
It's not even good.
It's not even good champagne.
How embarrassing, Hassan.
This is why I didn't bring it. Bill Carr Salmon.
This is why I didn't bring it.
I was embarrassed.
They gave me...
So broken rib, but now you have champagne.
Yeah, which is funny because they gave me uh so broken wheat but now you have champagne yeah which is funny because like they give me champagne and some like little perfume bottles but i didn't
i didn't bring the perfume bottles because i i thought this is like funnier than that um
i can't even thank you for the gift i can't even take it on the plane with me so i'm like what the
am i supposed to do with this twitch so you, you know, I thought this would be better. They also gave us some chocolate and like a cigar, chocolate cigar and stuff like that.
Both of us.
I think we got the same care pack.
Yeah.
Macaroons.
They gave us macaroons, which I ate like there was what was it like 20 macaroons?
I ate all of it last night.
It was wonderful.
When I woke up in a haze and I was hungry and there was no fucking room service in our hotel.
No, really?
How is that possible?
Like, where are you staying?
The Courtyard Marriott.
There is room service everywhere, no?
No.
Not at this hotel.
Why?
I called.
I was like, I can't move.
I can't get out of bed.
Yeah, I need food.
I went to bed at 5.30 p.m. last night.
And then I woke up periodically. I woke up at like 12.30 p.m. last night, and then I woke up periodically.
I woke up at like 12, and I'm starving.
So, you know, I'm like, I'll get some room service.
They're like, nope, no room service.
You know what?
I'm so happy he says this because this is the first time in the podcast history
where he complained about something, and I didn't say a word about the hotel or anything
i was very talking you were talking shit about port de versailles well yeah but the place but
i was very well be i really was trying to be well behaved and not a diva this trip he has a broken
ribs that's why i like his expectation or more that's true that's true he did he did break i
have a medical necessity for this room service.
But I did break my finger.
See, look.
Do you really think it's broken?
The doctor did say to x-ray it
when I get back.
He said x-ray it.
The doctor also said if you can move it,
which you could, then it's probably not broken.
Just move the finger just to see.
It's not broken.
Obviously, it's not broken. I can't go past this point.
That's just normal.
You're so dramatic.
Look at this one. I can go like this.
Yeah, but it's not broken.
It's just painful.
He claims that there's little tiny bones
that nobody knows about.
Oh, yeah.
But he did tell me to get an x-ray.
We're going to get this demonetized for medical misinformation.
Maybe.
I'm going to get an x-ray.
And if it's broken, Hassan, you owe me $20,000.
No.
You're the one who broke my ribs.
How about you pay for that?
No.
What about snails?
We have to talk about snails.
Oh, yeah.
We have to talk about the snails.
The snails?
The escargot? Yeah. Yes yeah it was very it was much better than
i thought i couldn't get over the fact that i was eating snails but it was it was good it was better
than i thought and you had special treatment because it was out of the shell yes so it was
like you don't have to take it out You didn't have to see it or anything.
It was kind of...
It's less disgusting.
Yes.
What do you think about escargot?
I love it.
You love it?
Yeah.
He has to say that or they deport him.
It's how it works.
I love frog and escargot.
Oh, frog.
No, not at all.
Oh, you guys actually have frog here.
Maybe I tasted like when I was maybe 12, but it tastes like shit.
Yeah. We dissected frogs. I don't like it when I was maybe 12, but it tastes like shit. Yeah.
We dissected frogs.
I don't like it at all.
You like it?
It tastes like chicken.
Like chicken?
It tastes like chicken?
Really?
I thought it would be gamier than that.
It tastes like chicken.
Oh, not in my memories.
Oh, okay.
The Cambodian frogs taste different.
Yeah, it's different.
French frogs are more...
What do you think about...
Have you been to the United States?
Yeah, I've been for E3,
like at the convention center.
Oh yeah, E3 in Los Angeles.
What do you think about our food?
Honestly, I'm curious.
It depends.
If I want to eat huge things,
it's cool.
If I want a burger, basically...
I know it's cliche, but it's cool.
Because you have
Many fast food
We don't have here
So like In-N-Out
A centralized act
I love it
Did you like it?
Yeah really
The food's good?
Yeah
The fast food is good
But the food in restaurants
Maybe I never went
To the right places
But it wasn't like so
We'll take you
To the right places
Yeah I hope
We'll take you
To the good places
The most shocking thing For me was fruits and vegetables,
which are basically just big things with water inside.
Yes, we give them hormones.
Do we give them hormones?
Yes, we do.
Give them hormones, and year-round, you can get an orange.
Yeah, I think you can get it here in France, too, year-round.
But when i was growing
up in turkey that wasn't a thing you know what i mean we didn't have year-round oranges or like
fruits were seasonal which is normal that's what it's supposed to yeah that's how it's supposed to
work but now i don't i think everywhere you can get fruit all the time yeah but france everything
is so you know like i've been eating uh kind of like not good like even in france and
it doesn't matter my body stays in much better shape than when i eat bad in the united states
because even when you're eating bad in france you're you're eating stuff that's not filled
with hormones regulations are very different yes which in the u.s like in the supermarket in u.s i
saw like um come on the laxative laxative laxatives like the
thing that makes you poop yeah the things that make you poop yes I saw many laxatives and I was
like what the fuck what do they eat to to take so much laxative you don't you don't have them here
we have but it's like one product yeah you know what that's called it's called freedom
that's what it's called hell yeah. I was seriously concerned about you guys.
Oh, yeah.
We talk about that.
We get backed up.
We get backed up a little bit because our food is so bad for you.
And so it just gets clogged.
I've never taken a laxative before.
Look at this guy.
This guy, he dropped America.
Like, if you were to ask him, he's French tomorrow.
Okay?
This is ridiculous.
I tell you what.
You are a phony. that's what you are the reason why i turned french is because i fell in love with a french man
oh yeah oh true is he french you don't even know i don't know him i don't know his name
is he french do you even know if he's french i think he's he's french maybe he's dutch
no i promise he's french because No, I promise he's French.
Because I figured that out. He does not know.
It's Dutch.
It's not French.
Explain who the guy is.
Okay, so at TwitchCon, we had this thing at the convention center.
We had this thing called the Purple Lounge.
Where people like Hassan, who are very needy.
He's very needy.
Yeah.
He can tell.
He can go to this lounge and have food
and stuff like this
in front of the purple lounge was a guard
French guard
and I saw him over the course of 3-4 days
and he stole my heart
and I never
said one word to him
I was so nervous and I think he looked at me a few times
you kept saying
I want to gay marry him. I wanted to marry
him and have beautiful French children.
Maybe he's watching the video.
But what if he's not French?
I'm just saying, if you're watching French
beautiful security guard, please
you know how to find me. It's going to be
really funny when we find out he's from Texas
or some shit. No, I promise. He's
French. You don't know that. You're
fantasizing about him being French.
We had a moment. I swear we looked
at one another. Did he speak to you at all?
Yes, he would go. What did he say?
He would just nod at me.
So, how do you know he's French?
I heard him speaking
French to some other people.
But all the security at the expo.
He would look at me in ways that he wouldn't look at other people.
Every single part. My security, Yeti.
Yes, he had the Yeti. They imported a guy
from Mount Everest.
He looked like a Yeti. He's like this massive dude.
He looked like Jack Santa Claus.
He was my security.
He was bigger than you?
Like more strong than you?
I don't know if he was bigger than me.
He wasn't bigger, but he was definitely stronger.
He's definitely stronger.
And without the broken ribs.
Right now, yeah, definitely.
So, he could speak French.
My security could speak French.
He's not fucking French.
Everyone could.
This guy had an accent, and I swear to God,
I could feel, I've got gay vision.
You know what gay vision is?
It's in your dreams that you think this guy's French.
I can tell when somebody,
maybe I can just see it. it's like i can tell when somebody somebody
maybe i can just like see it it's like a gaydar gaydar okay it's like gay radar so like you know
like like have you ever heard do they have the expression in french gaydar no it's like where
you can tell somebody i think there was a connection we it was just in the eyes and i
don't know this but i fell in love and i don't know if he ever will see this. And so you didn't talk to him?
I couldn't get the confidence.
He was literally telling people
before we left at the lounge,
he's like,
can you guys get some information
on this guy?
No, no, no, no.
I wasn't saying that.
I was saying,
did you know his name?
No.
Yeah.
In a cute way.
It wasn't like weird.
No, no.
But I couldn't.
You have a crush.
I do have a little crush,
but I felt like it was
a little awkward because he was working.
I didn't want to be.
On a guy who's definitely not French.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but who knows?
You know what?
It's the one that got away.
The one that, have you heard the expression?
In English, it means like the one that you could have had, but it never happened.
Oh, you could have had him.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, but the one that got away.
We have to find him.
We have to find him.
Yeah.
But maybe he doesn't like me.
So if you don't like me, don't ever say anything again.
It'll just be my dreams.
This is so funny.
I'm sorry.
I have to show you a video, guys.
You're like a little kid.
I have to show you a video because there was like a famous French YouTuber
who made a comic video about Texan.
Oh, really?
About cowboy, you know?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, and he made a song.
Really?
I love that.
You want to show it on YouTube?
Yeah, I have to show you.
Show us, Marge.
We'll look at it on the computer,
but is it possible for you to download it
and then put it superimposed in the video as well?
Yeah, just the song, not the video,
because the video is like 20 minutes long.
Sure, sure, sure.
But the song from the video... I already know this video, by the way. I've already seen it. Oh, really? Yes. Oh, crazy. Do you want to show it in the video as well. Yeah, just the song, not the video, because the video is like 20 minutes long. Sure, sure, sure. But the song from the video...
I already know this video, by the way.
I've already seen it.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Oh, crazy.
Do you want to show it on the computer
or pull it up on your phone?
Maybe, maybe.
No, no, no.
Pull it up on the computer.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Do you have speakers?
No.
Okay.
Oh, you don't have speakers.
I realized when you asked.
Your phone.
You could pull it up on your phone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On my phone, definitely.
I know what it is.
It's the three dudes that dress up like cowboys, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, on my phone, definitely. I know what it is. It's the three dudes that dress up like cowboys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's awesome.
It's so good.
But you know, it was like a huge thing in France.
It was a huge thing even in America.
We know about it.
Wait, I don't even know if I know about it.
Well, you don't follow pop culture like that.
I don't know if I know about it.
I'm very cultured.
So they made a song.
So I chose the song, not the video, because the video is very long.
Just the song.
Yeah, yeah, just the song.
It's the burger one, right?
It's so crazy, you know.
Would you mind opening my coke, my fingers?
Sure, Austin.
You fucking asshole.
Oh, God. Okay.
My fingers.
So, this guy is a huge
fan of
the US. He's a huge, huge fan of the US
like he's a huge
huge fan
I could tell
and he has like
some friends there
he often go to
United States
and it's like
kind of a tribute
for him
here's the song
do I have to put
the microphone
no
they can hear
I love it
did they make it
like to make fun of
yeah yeah yeah
just to have fun
it's not serious
it's honestly kind of accurate so far They make it like to make fun of? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to have fun. It's not serious.
It's honestly kind of accurate so far. Can I get some burger?
Or something not better?
Do you think it's better?
Maybe not that better.
Oh, God.
Can I get some whiskey?
A cool drink of some taste.
Maybe I'm still hungry since this morning.
I need like cheese and pancakes. Not a live chicken. I love it it's very good
that is so cool
to see how
is that how we're perceived
like
no it's like
parody
no it's kind of parody
like
we know like
some
we think some Americans are like that,
but we know many of them aren't.
No, no, no. We are like that.
This is so accurate.
But even you know it's accurate.
I mean, yeah, it is pretty accurate.
100% accuracy.
Yeah, we are very...
In Texas, there are Americans that are like that
unironically.
Really?
I mean, maybe not exactly like saying unironically. Really? Yes.
Maybe not exactly like saying I don't want my raw chicken.
Here's what's not accurate about that video.
They're too fit.
These guys are like shredded French men.
Six pack.
They're in way too good of a shape
to be singing about burger
and fried chicken.
Can I say this? I actually think the French are beautiful.
My gosh.
Bro, you have been
glazing France up.
I'll be honest.
The beautiful people.
I've been to Italy.
I've been to Amsterdam.
Scandinavia.
The French.
Magnificent.
Magnifique. Oh my gosh. I may move here. the French oh magnificent magnifique
magnifique
oh my gosh
I may move here
I really may
after
he's in love
with France right now
he is
you did a really good job
I'm not gonna lie
that meal
such incredible
meal
I love
I love talking shit
about every country
I talk shit about America
the most obviously
but I love talking shit about every country especially and talk shit about America the most, obviously, but I love talking shit about every country, especially.
And I make fun of France a lot.
I make fun of England more still.
So what's funny in France for you guys?
I'm not doing that anymore.
I'm done.
You know what?
I think for me, the beautiful thing about France
is just walking around in the streets
and seeing a cafe and sitting down and enjoying a
cigarette it's so cliche what do you what do you cigarette no i said this today like i don't smoke
and i can't handle it but i i thought i'll get you know herbal cigarettes they're not even
cigarettes herbal no like vape you mean no but like no they're they're like they don't have
nicotine in them they're just fake they just okay okay but they are cigarettes i really just like that so i i did for like this
thing we did a shoot and we did the fake cigarettes but it makes france make it makes you want to sit
in a cafe and smoke a cigarette and buy a baguette and yes put a beret on your head maybe i don't
know and a coffee and i i I had a baguette today.
I was walking around. It was beautiful.
No, you bought it.
I did.
I bought like a ham.
It's so cliche, guys.
Like a ham gruyere baguette.
We went to this place.
We went to this place to get clothes, and it was all girl clothes.
So we were walking down the street.
We walked in this random shop shop and the guys were like oh
americans like they got really excited yeah and you know they're asking us about our clothes or
whatever so we asked them like where can we go what's what's a good spot to get baguettes or
you know whatever and they pointed to the boulangerie uh just in the corner of every street
yeah yes yes but this one was special apparently because it they had like all of these
i guess there's like a competition for best croissant or best baguette in france yeah yeah
and this one was like number five for many years and they fell off a little bit they're number eight
yeah number five yeah no now now they're number eight no no you know number one no no it's not
even that it's like uh most of them have something on it saying, in 2006, we won the best baguette.
What the fuck?
Oh, they all have it?
Not all, but a lot of them.
So it's for you guys when you come from the US.
You see this and you're like, oh, this is a huge one.
Let's take our baguette there.
We fell for the trap.
We fucking fell for that.
We fell for the trap.
We were like, oh my God, top five baguettes.
So it's immediately the best baguette
that we've ever had no honestly it wasn't even that good that's why i was like how was this
number fucking eight i've had better baguettes in france before yeah we were in there like talking
about we were so impressed and yeah and i had it but to me it was still walking around at the
baguette looking at the beautiful cafes and the sun you are such a basic bitch you are literally the emily in paris yeah yeah okay but you know what also it made me want to have a
french romance like just have one find find some french dude and we have to do this again after
and yes i'm gonna bring him on the podcast okay oh yeah just here yeah so you you asked like what
what is the what are the worst things about france Yeah, it's the things I think you love.
So first of all, everyone always makes fun of France
because they're like,
oui, oui, baguette, smoke cigarette every morning
for lunch and breakfast.
I didn't know about the cigarette thing.
Yeah, no, they do.
They do make fun of that.
I had friends with me.
They were smoking.
They don't even smoke in the United States.
They were chain smoking for some reason. than English people for example yes yes for sure
I didn't drink more I think French people smoke more okay Japanese people
do both more than everyone else but there's that meme what else what else
it's like yeah they're they're rude they they hate americans
they don't speak english even if they can they're like fuck you americans this last one is really
true like for us it's like a shame to speak english in front of others like i'm pretty sure
right now french people who are seeing this are like oh excuse me speaking english and it's a game
it's like normal here are they upset at at you or they think it's funny?
No, it's just funny for them to see me speak English.
And even more if I try to have a good English, you know, to speak like...
No, but your English is fantastic.
Your English is very good.
I try, but I still have a big French accent.
Your claim is not, but it's very good.
I try.
Your accent is...
You have a French accent, of course.
Sure.
But your English is phenomenal.
Yeah, but we like...
Americans love accents. Do you know that? Thank you. Yeah, but we like... Americans love accents.
Do you know that?
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But thank you.
Spectacular.
She wasn't sure you knew the words.
Yeah, no, no, no.
It's very good.
It is very good.
Spectacular.
I mean...
And I don't think a lot of French people love American people.
Like, more than they hate them i think you think more french
people hate everyone though yeah sure that's the way we're all snob so you think more french people
like americans than hate them definitely i'm pretty sure i'm not not around us not not around
us but like not not not in paris for example but if you take france all france people love
us yeah i think they love american culture they don't they probably don't if they don't have a for example, but if you take France, old France, people love the US.
I think they love American culture.
If they don't have a lot of experience with American people,
they might love American culture,
but if they experience American people like
the people in Paris do, then they're like,
fuck these Americans.
Piece of shit. Eat your burger at home.
Fuck you.
I think a lot of Americans come here as like the first time in Europe.
And I was sitting in line at the airport at customs with some Americans that
were all having this experience.
And it's hard because they're having fun,
you know,
they're experiencing something new,
but the stereotype,
very loud,
you know,
very,
you know,
trying to impersonate the accent and things like this,
as I have been doing the entire trip.
Yeah, me too.
It's fun.
It's fun.
Yeah.
But to your question,
what don't I like about France?
It's the stereotypes,
like that the French sometimes don't like America.
Like every time I try to speak a little French,
I say merci,
I for a long time,
you're welcome,
is the response that I get most of the time.
So they respond in English? Yes, most of the time. So they respond in English?
Yes, most of the time.
Which I don't even think to French people it's insulting.
I think it's just, this is easier.
No, I don't think so.
I think it's kind of be polite.
Like, oh, okay, I see you're American.
I will try to speak English.
Yes.
But I never do because it's a shame.
Right.
I mean, we had a driver on the way over here
that on the Uber app here that on his on the app on the uber app said
he spoke five languages i said hello in four of them he didn't respond to either at any of them
who looks at the app who looks at the app and like looks at what languages they speak so you
can try to communicate with them in any of those languages hello, bonjour. He spoke all of them.
He was like this fucking try hard. He didn't want to speak back to me
at all.
It's kind of difficult for French people
to speak another language.
True, but no.
Even if they know how to speak,
it's like, see, it's a shame
for us to speak English in front of each other.
But many French people
that we've met
are delightful.
I mean,
look at the dinner
you gave us.
I mean,
that would be...
Okay, what else?
I want to speak
on more stereotypes.
Let me think.
Oh,
Paris does smell bad.
Oh, really?
But that's every big city.
Depends on when
you are in Paris.
What? Not as bad as New York City. Yeah in Paris. Not as bad as New York City.
Yeah, it's not as bad as New York City.
No, no, New York smells worse.
New York is probably one of the worst smelling
cities on the planet.
For sure. It's a little stinky in
Paris. It smells like piss a little bit.
Also, anti-air conditioning.
Oh, yeah. Anti-air
conditioning. Nobody likes air conditioning yeah i i went to
three separate places and like it broke during this heat wave like they couldn't fix it the
convention center had no air conditioning on the first level you know what actually i'm gonna take
it back when i said paris smells bad like la smells like shit obviously but it's like a different
kind of bad i think that's why it's like different it's it's it's like a different kind of bad, I think. That's why.
It's like different.
It smells bad in its own unique way.
Okay.
But L.A. smells worse.
And so does New York.
Yeah.
When I went to L.A., I didn't smell like... I don't find it like smell bad.
If you stayed in nice areas, it's...
I stayed...
Where did I stay?
I don't know.
Hollywood Boulevard definitely...
Oh, yeah.
Smell a lot. Did you see Spider-Man in Hollywood Boulevard, definitely. Oh, yeah. I smell a lot.
Did you see Spider-Man in Hollywood Boulevard?
Yeah, he was there.
He was there.
Was he there?
Yeah, he was a little bit strange, to be honest.
Was he?
Yes, Spider-Man's always a bit strange on Hollywood Boulevard.
What was he doing?
Oh, just like take pictures with people, which is strange.
Yes, he was taking pictures.
He was not fighting crime.
No, not at all.
Yeah.
Nothing about... Spider-Man on Hollywood Boulevard always makes me a little uncomfortable. which is strange. Yes, he was taking pictures. He was not fighting crime. No, not at all. Yeah.
Nothing about... The Spider-Man on Hollywood Boulevard
always makes me a little uncomfortable.
It's a little too tight.
Yeah, always.
He's got the bulge.
Yeah, the bulge.
Spider-Man.
Spider-Bulge.
It's just weird, you know?
He's like on there.
He's over there taking pictures with family.
Oh, if he was French,
he'd be like,
ho, ho, ho.
Yes, I'm sure you guys
would have a sexy Spider-Man.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure. Yes. Let's see... You are becoming Spider-Man. Yeah, I'm sure.
Let's see.
You are becoming a Francophile.
Let's see if there is Spider-Man
under our Eiffel Tower.
There is strange things too there.
Oh yeah, I went to the Eiffel Tower.
They were selling little Eiffel Towers
for one euro.
You bought one?
No, I knew this was a trap.
So I didn't buy nice instead i went
to paris disney and i bought an eiffel tower with mini mouse oh yeah you went to paris disney go
ahead explain your experience yeah i'm a huge fan of disney um disney i love disney and i wanted to
go experience france french culture so i went to disney and I went to Disney too. I know it's not French culture.
No, it's not French culture.
But I wanted to see Disney, and
it was an amazing experience.
The food wasn't so good, but
it's not good.
I feel like you go to different
places around the world, and you
do the same shit that you would do
in America. Like what? Like go to Disney?
Yeah, you go to Disney, you go to gay bars yeah true that's it like your bars are cool though
you you like to experience gay bars in different parts of the world i think it's a cool experience
don't say you what do you mean you i i never doesn't like to go to gay bars you would go
with me to a gay bar he wouldn't go to yeah i'm really why was that homophobic he doesn't
oh okay he doesn't like gay people. You're fresh too.
Here we go.
Oh no.
We have to talk about this.
It's so crazy.
Tell them the story.
What happened at Pixel Wars?
R slash place, Pixel Wars were happening
last year around this time.
Apparently, it was a very big deal for uh france
because you know everyone was watching like the entire nation was watching yeah yeah it made it
to the news yeah i mean i was i was following like french news a little bit so even i was shocked by
it because like you had like this racist uh far-right candidate who like came out and he
spoke about it it was like uh pixel wars
like you know go france we're kicking every other country's ass type shit right so at the end of it
when things got real heated i said some things i said some things uh that i usually say in english
uh in a joking manner as i say about america all the time because people are always like fuck you go back to turkey so i'll be like yeah i'm here to do you know i'm i'm doing the great
replacement here bitch because it's a fake concept it's not real um explain what the great replacement
for those of you who don't know because we don't speak about politics on this podcast the great
replacement is something that racist uh far-right white supremacists believe that like immigrants
are coming into their country
and they're replacing the pure you know whoever the nationality is whoever like white people are
or the in-group is right we have in america they have it in france as well so to the french i
thought they were being racist to me so i was like yeah i'm doing the great replacement i'm
fucking your mom that's how i'm doing the great replacement. I'm fucking your mom. That's how I'm doing the great replacement.
I'm replacing you by fucking your mom.
And then they heard Le Grand Replacement.
And they just thought I was being racist.
They thought I was being like pro that concept.
Which is true.
I'm kidding.
They were like, you're fucking fashion.
And I felt really bad because Kometo is uh is muslim
yeah right and i i i when i found that out i was like oh no this guy thinks i'm like
this guy thinks i'm like pro this concept so i dm'd him immediately i was like i'm so sorry
i'm muslim like you know i'm i'm i i shit on those people all the time. And it's fine. We're good now.
But at the time,
a lot of people just saw that clip
and they were like,
this guy's a fascist.
And it's so funny
because when you know
your political board,
your content,
and people who say he's fascist,
you're just like,
what the fuck are you saying?
He's like the opposite.
The opposite of fascist. Yeah, so that's so are you saying he's like the opposite yeah so that's
so funny that's why i'm making joke about that yeah every time people people people did not know
that though they question him at the border yeah they do they do curse me at the border i get bomb
swapped every time wait even into france not not in the france this time in the u.s coming back
home you do yeah i always get an american passport it doesn't matter i always get randomly i always get randomly they let me go through i get a randomly selected wait like in custom
every time yeah really yeah that's well it's usually before you get onto the plane oh it's
because you're always late to the fucking plane that's why no yes i've been it happens to me if
you're late to the plane i was not... I'm not late to the plane.
Maybe it's something else.
No, they put a...
It's called...
His face.
Yes, that's what it is.
They put four S's on your boarding pass.
If you have four S's on your boarding pass,
I think it means like...
Secondary security...
Security security.
Like secret security secondary something.
I don't know.
It is.
If they put four S's on your boarding pass,
that means you've been marked for a randomly selected search,
a secondary search.
And so you always have that on your...
I usually have it, yeah.
Well, you know, Hasan, I think it is random
because I'm a Lebanese-American.
Oh, my God.
A Lebanese-American with a broken finger.
Yes, by the way, I was in a...
It's not broken.
I was in a bar and I met a Lebanese guy.
And I was like, I'm Lebanese.
I'm Lebanese.
He said, you don't look Lebanese.
He said, you don't look Lebanese.
But you know, there's a lot of Lebanese people here in France.
Yeah.
Yes.
I feel at home.
I really do.
You're from fucking Portland.
I know.
Look, I am Lebanese though.
Seriously.
Not a joke.
Really?
Like your dad or your mother?
My dad.
Your dad?
Yeah, yeah.
He is the most whitewashed,
Americanized Lebanese man
on the planet.
Have you ever been to Lebanon, sir?
No, but I want to go.
No.
What the fuck?
I've never been to Lebanon,
but my blood is strong
with Lebanese culture.
Really?
What's the flag look like?
What's the flag?
It's got a tree.
Yeah, it's got a tree in the middle. What are the colors? Red, white, green. Okay. What's the flag look like? It's got a tree.
What are the colors?
Red, white, green.
That's good. I'm testing you.
I know my country.
Good job.
Give me some of the political factions of Lebanon.
I don't get into that politics.
No, we don't get into politics.
Tell us.
One of the foundations of Friand is we
don't talk
politics
or you
couldn't even
say like
Hezbollah
they're like
famous
internationally
there's two things
I don't do on
the Friand podcast
say the F slur
and talk politics
he says the F slur
all the time
he said it at dinner
do you know the F slur
oh yeah
you talked about it
say it
no I don't say it
you see he said oh you were talking about it. Say it. No, I don't say it. Yeah, you see, he said, oh, you were talking about it.
Because he doesn't stop saying it off camera.
It's so fucked up.
I even learned you the translations.
Yes, oh, so they told me this word.
I'm not going to say it.
But they told me the word in French, and it's so insane.
It's pretty funny.
You can't even like, like in the.s we've reclaimed the word like
in english what do you mean oh you oh that's why you keep saying it no i don't say it but
we reclaimed it so you reclaimed the word yeah yes but i just still don't say it in france the
word is i'm not even gonna say it but it's so crazy you can't even reclaim it you get the point
which is why and the beginning bit too you can't even you can't even you know you can't reclaim that
yeah oh yeah i love doing that it's crazy yeah but i guess it doesn't you were explaining to
us that like people don't even know that that's what it like people know what it is but they don't
even think that that's what they're saying when they say it when they use it yeah that's it like
they don't even know the the origin because it's something that happened in the 80s.
Ah.
And so...
People now, they don't get it.
Yeah, people forgot about it.
So now there's...
Like, there is many words in French,
which is the case.
Like, enculé, c'est pareil.
Like, another one.
What does that mean?
But you can say it.
What does that mean?
Like, everybody is saying it.
Enculé.
Enculé.
Enculé, c'est pareil.
But it just means, like,
you had a dick in your ass.
Oh, yeah. So it's just, it's homophobic, and everybody is saying it. Oh, but what if you had a dick in your ass. It's homophobic and everybody's saying it.
Oh yeah, we say that in Turkish too.
We have that as well.
But what if I just had a dick in my ass?
You have this word in English or not?
No, we don't have it in English
but we have it in Turkish.
In Turkish, what do they say?
He uses it a lot.
This is really interesting because obviously, all jokes aside, I'm not a homophobic person.
But, this is a very important but, when I was growing up in Turkey, we used to use the F slur all the time.
And I never realized, like, that it was literally the F slur.
Yeah.
Right?
So I was just saying it, and the word is ibne. It means the F slur. Yeah. Right. So I was just saying it and the word is,
it means,
uh,
the F word,
right.
In Turkish.
Um,
until I was hanging out with a gay Turkish friend of mine in America.
And I had,
it's been like 10 years.
So like my cultural understanding is like stuck because I,
in my cultural understanding of like turkish
language and what the slang i use is like stuck in 20 2009 because that's the last time i was in
turkey like speaking turkish all the time right so i caught myself right before i said it because
you say it like lovingly you know what i mean it It's not even like, oh, you're a...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'll be like, oh, this F word over here.
My beloved F slur?
I don't know how to use it.
Yeah, no, literally.
Wow, it's so endearing.
No, it's weird.
It's impossible to describe culturally,
and it's not that word at all
because that one is maximum,
the worst thing you can say,
the French version. It's a P word. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. like that word at all because that one is like maximum the worst thing you can say the yeah uh
the the french version it's a p word uh yeah yeah so uh and i caught myself and i asked him i was
like damn is this the f slur like is this way how you would say the f slur like is it is it a no-no
in turkey now to say it and he's like yeah and i that's when i realized like holy shit you know
language evolves that's number one.
And number two, your cultural understanding is deeply connected to the language that you use.
I don't know. I just wanted to say I say it all the time.
That's why.
No, it's just I forgot where I was going with that.
My train of thought went away.
I forgot where you were going with it, too.
But it's okay. I wanted to give you guys. My train of thought went away. I forgot where you were going with it, too.
I wanted to give you guys a little taste of Turkish culture there.
Did you know in Turkey, you cannot join the military if you're gay?
True.
You're not gay in Turkey unless you take it.
Unless you're a bottom.
Unless you're a bottom.
Okay.
You know top, bottom?
No.
If you're getting fucked in the ass rather than doing the ass fucking. We could sugarcoat it a little bit.
We're in his home.
So you can't say you're gay if you're not bottom?
In Turkey, they don't consider you gay
in the military unless you're
taking it up the ass.
So if you're just giving it, you're not gay.
It's called a pink slip or a külfotografi.
And in order
to get medically declared gay, in order to get like medically
declared gay, in order to not
do military service,
back in the day you had to show
a group of like doctors and like
military supervisors
a photo of you getting fucked
in the butt.
What the fuck? Yeah. Well,
I don't even think they do it anymore.
But it was definitely a practice for a very long time.
And if you were fucking another man...
He's arranging his exit to the podcast.
It's gone too far.
Yeah, it's really weird.
But if you were like
fucking someone they didn't consider it to be gay
it's wild
okay strange concept
in Turkey you're straight
yes I'm straight in Turkey
and you met me I'm not very straight
I don't know
I haven't taken any photos
that's true
you haven't bottomed photos. That's true. You haven't bottomed yet.
No, that's true.
So you can join Turkey's army.
I can.
I can join it.
I can fight for the Turkish military.
Turk army.
Turk army.
That's what I say.
All right, give us some stereotypes about Americans.
Go.
Yeah.
Unhinged.
Go as crazy as you want.
Okay, I have to think about it.
So,
yeah,
we see them as a lot of fat people,
basically.
This is just not even a stereotype.
This is true.
We are a second obese country in the world.
Which needs like,
what do we have as a big stereotype?
Oh,
yeah,
things about guns.
Like,
Americans,
Americans,
Also not a stereotype,
just true.
Also like guns, very true. Every stereotype is true okay you want to hear you want to hear a fucking insane statistic that i saw today
a toddler like a baby okay has shot a person with a gun every single week
in the United States of America
for the past two years straight.
Every single week, a toddler
has shot someone with a gun.
He can have a gun
at home? You're not supposed
to put it in a cage?
You are supposed to, but many people
don't. You want to know
what that's called? It's called freedom.
That's called teaching
them young.
We think these toddlers should have the right to defend themselves.
Yes.
Imagine you're a toddler.
Imagine you're a toddler at preschool and somebody
looks at you the wrong way.
Or you're a toddler and you don't
even know what a gun is.
No, realistically, toddlers can't have guns, but usually it's...
Yes, they can take one of their parents.
What's another stereotype that you think is a stereotype about Americans?
Stereotypes like they are all superficial.
We're now entering stereotype.
Okay, what do you mean superficial?
Like you meet someone and at the first second you're saying,
oh, your haircut is amazing, oh, your clothes are so nice, wow.
Materialistic.
No, like they're being nice, but it's a front.
Okay.
Right?
They're fake.
They're fake, right?
This is kind of like, this is where I start to disagree with the stereotypes.
Watch him him he's
gonna get defensive no no he loves america no no i genuinely love to meet people and um be nice to
them and you know sometimes i may be commenting on somebody's shirt and maybe it's not as cool
as i think it is but i want them to feel good about it i want them to i i it doesn't come from
a place of where you can't you can't be defending every stereotype that he gives us.
What?
But maybe we are like a bit...
How do you say agree in French?
Agreeable?
You know French people are like snob, snobbing.
They're snobbish.
So we don't like used to be so nice so fast when we meet someone.
You know?
Oh, so it takes...
In France, it takes a while to get to know
somebody yeah yeah oh yeah americans are very in fact it's the opposite in the u.s you're nice when
you meet somebody very quickly yeah and then you you figure out whether they're gonna lose that
respect okay basically uh would that be accurate that's fine yeah what was i saying like you you
you guys enjoys very big cars? Yes, that's true.
I love big cars.
Okay, we're back to truthful statements now.
Yeah, this is back.
The last one was, but this one is true.
Okay.
Guns, true.
Fat, true.
Bigoted, also true in parts of the country.
What is it?
Racist.
Ah, racist, yeah.
Intolerant.
Also true.
Also true in parts of the country.
What else?
A lot of parts of the country.
Houses is like...
I don't know how to say it.
It's a bit like their house.
The walls are...
Houses are made of cardboard.
Also true.
No.
He's got to defend America.
There's nothing... Look at him. He? Oh, yeah. He's got to defend America. There's nothing.
Look at him.
He's like white knight.
He's like.
I literally see videos of people which are building houses in like woods, but in tornado areas.
Yeah.
So like the first tornado who comes through the house just.
He's right.
He's talking about drywall.
Like you can punch through the wall.
Yeah.
We have a we have a meme in America.
It's called Kyle.
Okay.
We call it a Kyle.
He punches through the drywall when he gets angry.
He drinks white monster.
Okay.
He drinks white monster energy drinks, and he punches drywall.
There was a white monster?
Yeah.
It's a monster energy drink, but it's white.
It's sugar-free.
Okay.
And Kyles love drinking that. Okay. And then they love punching drywall. Okay. Yeah, but it's white. It's sugar-free. Okay. And Kyles love drinking that.
Okay.
And then they love punching drywall.
Okay.
Yeah, punching holes in walls.
I think American infrastructure is solid.
It's not solid.
He wants to defend America at all costs.
But on that note, on that note,
before you continue defending America furiously,
because I can tell it's about to get really heated.
It's about to get really, really heated,
which is why we're going to switch over
to the paywall portion of the broadcast.
Yes, everybody, thank you.
You can continue watching Austin furiously defend
the United States of America's sanctity
against our French interlocutors.
Hundreds of years of culture.
Just 100, actually.
Not that long.

Maybe I should have...
That's what I should have said to him.
I should have said, let's watch YouTube videos together,

every French person is
my best friend is Squeezy.
And then everyone will be like, oh my god,
