Starting point is 00:02:37 Damn, in college. Yeah, no, after college. I was selling cars, I got out of college, I was selling cars. I was, I used to be a gay man. I used to read books constantly. And I got really, really into Ernest Hemingway. And I was like, I should live in Spain.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Really? To go in his footsteps? Kinda, yeah. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I was like 23. Here's the problem, it does rule, but it is also gay. It was gay.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I wish I still had that part of me. That could just suck up the gay and go? It did, just like, I used to think I was like smart. Yeah. I wish I still had that. What's your favorite Hemingway? It was, For Whom the Bell Tolls was number one. I like the Nick Adams stories.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I don't know those. It's just short stories about pretty pretty much himself. Okay. I just tried to read Farewell to Arms again. How was it? Trash. Really? No it's good until they it becomes it's too much of a love story. I like the beginning when he's in the military. It's very fun. What's one where he's holding a baby up in a cave and somebody takes a random shot and kills the baby? Somebody a crime but they thought it was an animal and somebody like camping was like shut that fucking baby I don't know that he has he has a lot of like Michigan short stories yeah I don't have I don't know any of
Starting point is 00:03:54 those yeah you're nicely shaded here in the fucking yeah oh man you guys hate the shade I love a well-lit podcast studio. It's very conducive to being comfortable. This isn't that well-lit. This is not, because we turned the spotlight off that was directly on my dark red face. Yeah, the Russian episode, we'll get that spotlight on you. Get it on you, cinnamon handcuff, I'm doing metal chair.
Starting point is 00:04:19 So you went there just like, fuck it, I'm gonna sell. I was selling cars and I sucked at selling cars. I literally just sat at my desk and read. I read books all day. That's all I did. And then I found out there was a teaching program where you could just go, all you had to do was speak English.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Whoa. Like they didn't care if you spoke any Spanish. They want, it was an immersive program cause Spain, back then at least, felt very inadequate, because they were the only ones in Europe that sucked at English. Everybody else in Europe was getting very good at English except Spain, so the government there
Starting point is 00:04:55 started a program of like, just fucking come over here and talk. Just speak English. Wait, free or do they pay you? They pay you. Or do you have to pay? They pay you. Wow. I have to pay? They pay you. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I remember they offered that in college where it was like you gotta pay like a thousand a month to go there and teach English in China. I'm like, I gotta pay? Yeah, that sounds like hell. Yeah. Yeah. You can pay me to go there.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Fuck. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, then I signed up and I got it. It was sick. Where'd you even hear about it? An ex-girlfriend. Wow. And she did it too. So can you go'd you even hear about it? An ex-girlfriend. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And she did it too. So can you go far away from me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I run into you too much now. Yeah. I got this great program. She did it too? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Were you guys doing it then? We didn't see each other once. She was in a different part. I got Madrid. I got lucky. Oh, they assigned you like a- Yeah, you just get a random spot. Like a Book of Mormon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Orlando? Yeah. Orlando. Yeah, Orlando. Yeah, that was wonderful. You know you can sneak into the second part of that. Oh yeah. They all come out during your mission and then they don't really check your wristband or anything. For sure, I never thought of that.
Starting point is 00:05:59 You can sneak into any play. Pretty much any play. Yeah. No one leaves at halftime though, so you gotta like wait by the bathroom until you see what seats are not taken and then go in there. And hope somebody says,
Starting point is 00:06:10 you weren't here the first time. Have you done this? Yeah, I did it once. I would yell. I would say, get this Jewish man out of here. He tunneled his way into the show. They would all stop like when Pence is at the play, like, is that true about the Jewish man?
Starting point is 00:06:23 Stop the play, break the fourth wall. Or they do it in character? Yeah. Sir. The Africans come out and taunt you. Yeah, the whole lion king comes down and lays him out in a pocket with an elephant. So you go there, like, did you have any money?
Starting point is 00:06:39 I had a little money from selling cars. Yeah. But I blew it all. I lost all of it in Spain. Yeah. Yeah. Where'd you stay? What'd you do?
Starting point is 00:06:49 All right, so we can go from the start. I got there. Yeah. I never contacted the school I was supposed to teach at. What? I never talked to them once. They didn't know I was coming. So this is all like the government's program
Starting point is 00:07:04 that just assigned you to a school. The school had no idea. So I was coming. So this is all like the government's program that just assigned you to a school. The school had no idea. So I get there, I fly from New York, land in Madrid. I realize I don't speak fucking Spanish nearly as well as I thought I did. I got off the plane, I got in a taxi. I was like, I had nowhere to stay. I didn't have a place to stay.
Starting point is 00:07:22 How old are you at this point? 24. I love the stupidity of a fucking white guy. I was just like, I'm like Hemingway, I'm on an adventure. I cried all the time. What if Hemingway cried when he got to a new place before he found lodging? It sucks! It's raining! It sucked ass dude and I got there all I could I knew hotel Yeah, I was like that's definitely I can say hotel. Yeah, so I got a cab and I was like hotel and he was like Come on. I was like cuz even that sounded fucking crazy to him hotel. Yeah, cuz the way I was just in the car going hotel Please you guys are American cab go hotel like yeah, there's many. Yeah, and he was like where, what are you talking about? I was like, no me importa, necesito hotel.
Starting point is 00:08:10 He was like, okay. Get out, beat it, get out. Now he took me to a hotel. He took me to a hotel, it was kind of expensive. So I stayed there for two days and then I found a hostel. That's the key. And I stayed in a hostel for way too long. How were you in hostels?
Starting point is 00:08:24 I'm awful, I hated it. Really? I was furious, I hated the key. And I stayed in a hostel for way too long. How were you in hostels? I'm awful. I hated it. Really? I was furious, I hated the hostel. For such a man of the people, you're a prissy pants. I'm not prissy. I'm just embarrassed of what I, I don't feel like being naked in front of a bunch
Starting point is 00:08:35 of hot rugby Australian players, which is who I was rooming with. These two fucking hunk brothers. Really? Yeah, and then they'd go talk to girls, and I'd be like, these girls are all, they're all superficial over here. They only like you guys very little
Starting point is 00:08:47 because they don't know how cool I am. Meanwhile I was just blacked out crying. You're crying, you're crying. I'm a bad person. Yeah, so I was stuck in this hostel and then I would try to call the school. No one in the school spoke English. In Madrid?

Starting point is 00:09:40 I'm in Madrid. Okay. And I'm calling this school because I have no idea where the fuck this school is and I call them every Day and none of us can communicate at all.

In Spain they have on all the churches have a stork nest from Africa But they stole the stork nests no so I kept calling them

Starting point is 00:14:25 And we both run in different directions. I get a block down the street and I'm just like, fuck, that guy just stole my phone. No fucking way. Totally just has my phone. What a ruler. Yeah, it was good. What a fucking nice game. I had no idea where I was.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I was relying on the maps on my phone. Police, go! And you're like, okay, thanks man. Yeah. Yeah. But then I was lost in the city for like four hours trying to find my hostel. I couldn't ask for directions. Oh, that sucks. And I'm shit faced and somebody just stole my phone. That sucks. Oh my God. And you're like, where's my hostel? Like,

Yeah they're like, do something, do something, do something, do something. I need help. The problem is, even if you know like school Spanish, or like Duolingo Spanish, then you meet anyone,
Starting point is 00:15:11 like one of the guys running food at the stand, he's just like, hey whoa, that's way too fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna slow the fuck down. I'm a level nine guy. Yeah, I couldn't understand anything. Whoa. I finally found it.
Starting point is 00:15:24 The sun was up when I finally found the hostel. And now I'm without a phone, now I'm really fucked. So I have to like, borrow. That guy fucking crushed you. That guy killed me. Was the coke okay? No, I don't even think it was cocaine. I didn't do cocaine back.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I had no idea what it was like. You just were gonna try it? Yeah, I was Hemingway, bro. I was just out there on a little gay adventure. Did he live in Madrid or Barcelona? What's that? Did he live in Madrid or Barcelona or all over? Hemingway was Madrid. Okay. Yeah it's pretty sick you can go on a bar crawl there in Madrid. Yeah. There's a bunch of like pictures of them at the bars where he would sit no Ernesto It is cool to sit in a yeah been to this is this in He also hung out in Barcelona, probably Barcelona Hemingway absinthe. I went there
Starting point is 00:16:23 It's cool cuz all the ones I don't know how the ones you want, but it wasn't like big plaques of him No, it's just a little picture in the corner of a bar it'd be like if like a base of alimony here so basically alimony that was it went there yep oh there is a big fucking statue of him that does make it lamer now the one to the right I don't think that was although I did have checkered floors yeah I was it I think there's a little picture in the window that's crazy I sat in that window on the right. Wow. I haven't seen that in forever. If they had this for you, it wouldn't be plaques. It would just be like, here's Patty's.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Yeah, yeah. There used to be a comic club next door, so he would go over here a lot. Yeah, he'd scream at us. What was his booth? Well, it doesn't work that way in New York. It's just when it was open. You don't just get a booth.
Starting point is 00:17:01 He would scream at us. Yeah. He was a real problem. Yeah, he would bomb. He was bomb and then come bother us. Although I'm sure Hemingway was a nightmare. Can you imagine? Just being a hard ass all the time drinking. Like, like no. I'll box anyone here. Yeah. No one reports on if he actually was. Didn't he try to box like an actual fighter? He was like, I'll fight you, and the guy was like,
Starting point is 00:17:25 Hemingway had no quid in him. So I had to fucking beat him down. He thought he was, yeah. I think he boxed some of his wives. I could be wrong on that. Damn. There he is. All this shit Key West rules.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yeah, it does. It's weird because he's just a writer. So he shouldn't be like a manly man. Yeah, but he was. He's a writer. He was in the army a little. Yeah, well. Not the army, he was driving an ambulance, but.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Driving. Yeah, he ruled. He did rule. I didn't go to any of the, I read The Sun Also Rises, that was also a big Spain one. And it was big into bullfighting and I didn't have the strength to go. You didn't go to the bullfights?

I thought, how is not everybody fat there? There's no vegetables.
Starting point is 00:19:09 They were pretty, they're health oriented a little when it comes to like, they would see me like binge drinking and eating ham every day. And like the teachers at the school had to have like a meeting and they're like, you need to stop eating ham. All you're eating is ham. We've noticed all you eat is the fucking ham.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I'm like, dude, the ham's so good. It's so good. You ever see those big hawks of it? Yeah, they have it at every single bar. Every bar has one of those. What do you mean? They have the big fucking slab of ham? Every bar had a leg on the side of the bar
Starting point is 00:19:41 and they would give you random food and every time I'd order a beer I'd be like, come on ham, ham, ham this time, ham this time. We love food. Instead they'd give you like prawns, like full fucking prawns. I'm not eating that. Pull up one of those fucking big ham.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Or olives, just a bowl of olives. Yeah, those are good though. I don't like olives. Yeah. It would get me into them there. Ham hock. I hate to say hock but yeah. Hamon. Yeah I used to go hawk, but yeah. Hamon.

Hear me out on this. I love her boy dude. I was obsessed with this girl. So then I get to Spain, I want to leave right away. I'm like I fucked up. Because you miss her so much? I missed her that. I was so, dude I'm trying to be honest with you. You think I'm proud of fucked up. I should be. Because you miss her so much? I missed her that I was so, dude, I'm trying to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:33:06 You think I'm proud of that? I appreciate your honesty. I'm being honest. I appreciate your honesty. And I had already started. I'm disappointed as a human, but I appreciate the honesty. I already had started standup,
Starting point is 00:33:16 so that was another thing I missed. Because I would go to the bar and then I'd come home and get on Facebook or whatever. Why didn't you just go to Michelle Wolf's Club? And I'd see all the, yeah, there was no comedy there. I would go home and look at Facebook and the pictures would be local comics in Harrisburg that got to host at the Harrisburg Comic Zone.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And I'd be like, those motherfuckers, they suck. Yeah, but the girl, I was obsessed with this girl and I wanted to go home right away. Had you already bagged? Yes. Okay. And it was very nice and I wanted to go home right away. Had you already begged? Yes. Okay. And it was very nice and I loved her. Did she tell you you loved her? Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I was obsessed with this girl. Did she love you back? She was obsessed. We were gay. What's she like, why are you going? When we met it had already been planned. I'm a heavyweight lady, I can't have no choice. I said, baby I'm a rolling stone.
Starting point is 00:34:04 And then I was like, I love you, I wish I didn't come here. So like, that was what I did. Stuck in the hostel, I was, you know, I missed her a lot. But then I got, I loved Spain. Question. Yeah. Where'd you jerk off in the hostel, bed or shower? Bed, I'd wait till the hot Australians were gone.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Yeah. Okay, go ahead the hot Australians were gone. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. So you love Spain. But then after like a month I got used to it and I started to really love Spain and then I fell in love with one of the teachers that I worked with.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Does she speak any English? No. Barely. All right. This is Hemingway-ish. So I was obsessed. I mean, I wasn't obsessed with her like, we never did anything, never once.
Starting point is 00:34:46 We never even told each other we were, like we would hang out. Cute? Yeah, she was cute. Hey, can you Google that cute chick in Madrid that Shane liked and see what comes up? But I was very, very faithful to the girl back home, so I never did anything or tried anything, but I was like, I was obsessed, very faithful to the girl back home. So I never did anything or tried anything.
Starting point is 00:35:05 But I was like, I was obsessed with this lady. I was like, she's so fucking hot every day. I didn't know she had feelings for me until the day I left. She did? When I went to leave, I was saying goodbye to everybody. She started sobbing. And I was like, oh, we could have been in love.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I'll stay, I'll stay. Yeah. She liked you? Did you connect in any way? You must have learned some Spanish. No, yeah, I did learn Spanish and she was working on her English which was fun to drink and try to talk to each other.
Starting point is 00:35:35 You'd booze? Yeah. You didn't try anything? No, I regret it. Hey, what are the YouTube rules now about saying f*** if you're calling your friend that? I don't think they love it. Okay, delete it. Hey, what are the YouTube rules now about saying if you're calling your friend that? I don't think they love it. Okay, delete it.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I believe all those. No, I, yeah, I blew it. Oh, that sucks. How old were you, 24? 24. I know that age, bro. I turned 25. And you're just like, you feel a tingling
Starting point is 00:36:05 and you're like, I think, no, I can't try it. Yeah. And you don't even know it's a way later. If you just try it, she's like, no, I don't know, I'm gonna do it. Yeah, and it was also like, dude, it was the best. I'd get to go to her, like whenever I knew I was teaching the fifth grade class,
Starting point is 00:36:20 that was her class, I'd be like, oh, yes. What do you mean you would go in? So I'd go to classroom to classroom when I was teaching, you know They were just and there was no plan at all. They would just be like oh shit change here And I would come in and be like, yeah Tenemos una maestro nuevo. Yeah, I come in I'd be like, I'm a Gillies. Que pasa? They'd all be like how do you say my name in English? They loved it.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Would they love that? Yeah. Yeah. Jaime, you're like, Jamie. Yeah. They won. I'd be like, John. They'd be like.
Starting point is 00:36:56 But yeah, then when I would get to teach in her classroom, it was very nice. I was walking in with lock eyes. I'd be like, I'm pretty sure she loves me. How old is she? She was probably 28. Damn. Did I feel really bad for you? That's okay.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I mean, you know, life, you know, you're covered, but like. Yeah. Yeah. No, she was. I'm just hearing about it now though, so I'm going through it right now. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Damn. Yeah. Who would have been so much of a better person if you just stayed with her? The fuck? Why? You're a terrible person. What?
Starting point is 00:37:36 You're a shitty person. I also wasn't with her. That's the other problem. She would have changed both of us. She was a devout Catholic. She was a dream, dude. Do you have a picture of her? Yeah. Do you really? I can find it. Don was a dream, dude. You have a picture of her? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Do you really? I can find it. Don't post it, but show me. Damn. Wait, you can see it? Hold on, I don't have any internet. Oh, I can, dude, do you need, are you out of money? Do you need megapixels?
Starting point is 00:38:02 I don't have any internet. I'll show you after. Are you out of minutes? She's a sweet angel. But I told you I was gaining love. I was obsessed with my girlfriend back home. Yeah. But I'll tell you what,
Starting point is 00:38:13 after a few, like two months in, I was like fuck, I don't wanna go home. Yeah, right? Yeah. But it was truly the standup that made me go home. Really wanna go home. And what is it about once you get there, there's a certain amount of time where you're like,
Starting point is 00:38:28 I'm free now. Yeah. Like I'm not away from home, I'm here. And I also discovered that I wasn't the cultured guy that I thought I was. What do you mean? Which was nice to figure out. Like I would go to the fucking museums and shit by myself.
Starting point is 00:38:42 I'd like tried to be that guy. Now I'd just go there and think about No Name's playing in Oklahoma this week. I'd stare at a beautiful painting and just be like, No Name's defense sucks. That's who I am, dude. I'm not another person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Big Catholic town though. Yeah, Madrid's Catholic. Fascist too, dude. What do you mean? They had Franco for a while. So they had Franco until like the 70s. So there were dudes that would be at the bar with me that were like, fascism too dude. What do you mean? They had Franco for a while. So they had Franco in the like the 70s. So there were dudes that would be at the bar with me that were like, fascism's good.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Be like, yo no say. I was still like on his. Yeah. No applause. I was at a bar, I was at Loyber Star. I don't mean to throw a Loyber Star onto the bus, but there were these two dudes, they weren't regulars, so not putting that on Loyber.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Okay. They, this guy, I'm sitting next to this guy at the bar and he's like, check this out. And it was his shitty like pixelated Nokia phone and on it was him throwing a Nazi salute with a burning swastika behind him. And I was like, bien, que bien. And then the waiter, the bartender came by
Starting point is 00:39:42 and I was like, bro, fascistas, fascistas are key. And he was like, they're just fucking around. I was like, that didn't seem like shit. He had a picture. He had a burning swastika. It's pre-Photoshop. Like, damn, damn. Yeah, Spain's awesome.
Starting point is 00:39:59 I can't wait to go back. I love the separatists. Not because of the fascism. Yeah. Was it Catalan? What was it Madrid? Catalonians. No, no, that's Barcelona.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I love all the Catalan flags hanging everywhere. I'm like, they're just doing that? The Spanish Civil War was pretty sick. It's cool to look into. Franco, bro. Underrated in terms of the fucking, load up the plane and just empty them. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Yeah, he would fly from here and then just like fly out and then do a little dump and then turn back around. I didn't know that. I didn't know he was doing that. Yeah. Just swan away. Yeah, you know that thing that opens like this? Yeah, the cargo plane, he's just tossing dudes out?
Starting point is 00:40:38 Tossing dudes. Fuck. By like the hundreds, right? He must have enjoyed that. Cause there's so many easier ways to kill 100 people. He must have been like, this is a fun day. I think he wanted no bodies, so he'd like, dump them to the sharks.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I mean, he was a- Get way out there. He was a fascist, he was a dictator. He could kind of, he could have buried them. Spanish airlift of 1936. Oh, is it real? Yeah, it's during the war. Damn, I was right.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Every memory I have, I'm like, it might be wrong. For sure. Putting all those people in there and just be like, nah. You know, he outlawed, he said he outlawed their language. What? And he goes, we gotta have one language, so you can't, if you speak it, you're fucked. And he goes, in a generation, it will be dead.
Starting point is 00:41:23 And he didn't understand that people are gonna be like No, we're gonna teach our kids like quietly. Yeah And then like that's what's that's what my that was kind of like my favorite thing I would go to soccer games. Mm-hmm all the time by myself. It was great But that's what I liked about Spanish soccer is like Real Madrid is like the royal the white the fascist team Barcelona's like the communist anarchist team. Guess which team I liked, bro. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I like it. Real Madrid? No, I like the Atletico Madrid. I like the shitty, like basically the Mets to the Yankees. You ever see that? You like Barca? No, dude, that's not what that is. What?
Starting point is 00:42:01 It's the Ecuadorian team, and they're so obsessed with Barcelona. Oh, they copied Barcelona? 100% copied, they just have a local beer sponsor. It's nuts. That's pretty awesome. It says Barcelona on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:13 They didn't even take that off. Yeah, they kept the logo. Yeah. You would go to soccer games, that's fun. I would go to Athletic, I was at, so this, the year I was there was the year Athletic Madrid won La Liga. So they were like, it was just a magical season.
Starting point is 00:42:25 It was great. And I would go by myself. How much were games? Cheap as fuck, it was like 20 bucks. Wow. Oh, I had a British friend. I forgot about this guy. He was the fucking man.
Starting point is 00:42:34 He hung out at Louis Bristar too. He might have been gay. So you made friends? Oh yeah, he might have been fine. He was an old man. He was the man. We would hang out constantly and we'd kiss. What was he doing there?
Starting point is 00:42:48 I, in Spain. I don't remember. You know what it was? I think he wanted to get away from England because I think he had a tough time and his mom just died there. So he just went to, he's having way.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Yeah, true. I was not ready for it. But he would take, we would go to soccer games and he would wear like a press, he would get a press vest and just go into games. Like no ticket? No tickets. You could just get a fucking,
Starting point is 00:43:16 yeah, like a traffic vest. And Spain doesn't, no one, there's no structure at all. Like there's no, everyone's just like, yeah, there's no lines. When you try to wait in no, everyone's just like, yeah, there's no lines. When you try to wait in line, it's just a gang of people. There's no, yeah. Everything's just crazy there. Do they speak both the languages or just Spanish?
Starting point is 00:43:34 Where you were. What do you mean? Like some people speak Catalan in those languages. Oh, in Madrid it was all Spanish. But I don't think there's, yeah. Yeah, it was just Spanish. What's their language? But I probably wouldn't fucking know the difference. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Their language is Spanish. No, but there's another separatist language there. It's Catalan in Barcelona. There's like Basque, Basque region. Yeah, the North, yeah, they're kind of separatist too. Yeah. Is this how this podcast always goes? Is this good?
Starting point is 00:44:00 Yeah. All right. I wasn't sure if we're supposed to be funny or just telling stories. I mean, telling stories. All right, good. Yeah, it seems fun as shit. Yeah, especially meeting the people like who'd you become friends with that guy? The English guy and the teachers the teachers were good friends One of the teachers came and visited me in Philly. No. Yeah, she came to the Raven Lounge and saw me do an open mic
Starting point is 00:44:19 Oh, that was another thing. So then I got you know, I got canceled from SNL Yeah, and I haven't talked to them in like five years. Did they suddenly see your name? It was on the news in Spain, and they were like, Shane, you're racist? They're like, what the fuck, dude? Why are you racist? I was like, no, no, no, I swear I'm not racist.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Solo te chino. Yeah, I was like, solo con. I a story by a seat dog That is one of the nice things about cancellations is friends you don't know anyone reaching out Yeah, hey Ben besides this thing. Yeah. Yeah, they were just like, oh man, you're really disappointing No, yeah There's like guys. I swear. I'm not I went to like a Teacher's march they were like trying to unionize seen Sin contextual. They were very, they were communistas. Oh really?
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah. What does that mean in Spain to be a communist? I think it's the real deal. Like system of government trying to like. Like yeah. I think they had a recent issue with that. Like the socialists are kind of like fucking up their country.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Really? I think there's, yeah. I think the right wing bros are taking it back. To be a communist? To be communist? No, no, no. I don't understand. To fight against the communists. They got pretty socialists over there.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I thought socialism was communism. That's a little I know. No, no, no. I'm saying, yes, it's similar. I'm saying the right wing in a lot of European countries seems to be making a comeback. And the right wing is communism. No, that's left.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Doesn't it seem like Mao would be right wing? He doesn't seem like a left wing guy. Well left, you're confusing the left wing for being like, everybody's okay. No, no, no, it's, yeah. It's that they had that in Ecuador, it was neo-libs. Yeah, were they like the gay ones? Oh yeah. Yeah, no, no. It's, yeah. It's that they had that necrotized neolibs. Yeah, were they like the gay ones? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like nah, fuck deficit, fuck them. Yeah, that's where communism, that's where it goes. Wow, and it comes around. Millions of people usually die. Yeah, I didn't know them. That's all right. So what did you, so you go to sports, that is fun.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Yeah, that was good. Sports is fun for. And I would, for some reason they didn't love binge drinking there. It's not like England and Ireland and Scotland, the English countries love binge drinking. These Mediterranean countries are kind of like, What do they do? They just drink all day but slowly with wine and shit.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Vermouth, did you get into Vermouth there? I did have some Vermouth. Again, trying to be fucking. But I would get hammered and they'd be like, are you okay? Like I went to, we went to a, me and the teachers went to a concert in Spain. Concierto. Musica. And I went and I was like,
Starting point is 00:47:09 Hey everyone, watch this. And I bit the top off a beer and chugged it. And one of the couples, one of the couples, one of the couples that was with us like, and they left, watch this. Everybody's going to like me. This worked in college football. It's like Homer having a memory of the New Yorker version of himself. This worked in college football.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah, I was like, this is the only way the players on the team liked me. It's funny, because they have booze all the time, and then everyone's just like, we'll do this responsibly. And then Americans or Australians come in, they're like, well, we'll show you how to do it, not responsibly. We're gonna chug as many as we can
Starting point is 00:47:44 and try to find cocaine from a gypsy you meet any gypsies no I didn't like hang other than the one that stole my shit I've never met I don't know if he was a gypsy or no who knows if he was even tricking me I might have just run away great I tried to get it back to me yeah they hate gypsies from what I've seen.

Yeah, every comic is a bit of a fuckin' tall tailor, a fibber, a mistruther.
Starting point is 00:48:31 It's going down a bad road now. The point is they do podcast ad reads for stuff they don't believe in. That's not me! Today's ad read is for gooder sunglasses. I bought these myself with my own heart and money. Do you know how much it pains me as both a Jew and, no, that's it. To have to pay for things that I would let her get offered for free.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah, I bought these in Philadelphia, Mississippi. I was there to watch Dolly Parton. I was becoming the world's most romantic man. So I watched Dolly Parton, one of her final shows before she passed. And I stopped into a store there and I bought this pair of glasses. Gooder. G-O-O-D-R.

Starting point is 01:14:15 Back then you saw what I looked like. I was closer to looking like. You were closer. Actually me and Wayne Rooney are on similar trajectories now. There he is. Yeah I had it like that, with the head up. Yeah. Now me and Wayne, now Wayne's gaining weight. We're catching up. Damn, he's fucking big now. Yeah, Wayne got fat.
Starting point is 01:14:31 I saw him in the airport after the Super Bowl in Vegas. It was pretty sick. Really? Not one person knew who he was. That's so fucking cool. I just watched him walk by. Dude, we had one of the door guys from the commerce stores from the South and some country star came in and none of us knew it all.
Starting point is 01:14:47 He was like this way it's $20 tickets and you just hear, oh! I'm like what's going on? The reason also they thought I looked like Wayne Rooney is that was the only real pale guy they knew. Although even though they're pale, they also thought I had red hair. Did they follow Champions League? Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Did they follow Champions League? Definitely. Yeah, did they follow Champions League? Definitely they did Yeah, and Premier League all that shit Yeah Yeah, cuz they face them once in a while. Yeah, they play they play But they followed English soccer too. Hey, when is American soccer gonna take off? Hopefully this World Cup it's in America. It's in America. And our team's good, we got a young, solid team.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Although they just lost to Columbia like 4-1 last week. They split with Brazil though, didn't they? Tied Brazil, that was decent. Yeah, that's huge. You know your Tucky team with like, this is awesome, we drew, it's fucking great. Yeah, it's the first time I think we ever got a point. And Brazil's like, fuck, okay, we gotta do better.
Starting point is 01:15:41 And then they're like, we're ready, we're ready, we tied them. That's a good tie. But America America the thing that sucks is when America is a home game The entire stadium is the other country because we keep doing we keep I don't know Well, I mean, you know everybody here is from fucking Columbia What they had like I think we played against Columbia in New York. Oh, really? I forget where we played them Yeah, we always play Mexico in Dallas. Mistake.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah, the whole stadium's green. Yeah, you gotta go around Dakota. Yo, you ever watch those games? So Mexico has a chant where they call the goalie, oh, f***. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Whenever he kicks the ball, they scream it. Really?
Starting point is 01:16:21 So they go, oh, and they wait till he kicks the ball, and then they all yell it. And then, and the, and the, they keep, the refs will pause the game and be like, one more and the game's over. To the stands? Yes. And they're like, we're doing it. And they're losing, Mexico's losing,
Starting point is 01:16:39 so they're like, who gives a fuck? They do it the rest of the game, and the American goalie's like, come on. Guys, we're just trying to play the game, stop. It's so fun. Yeah, it makes you really like Mexico. Wow, yeah, I love a good fan. Homophobic chant that ruins the game.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Ruins the whole game. They're like, we're not throwing anything. We're throwing hurls. Yeah, you're being very racist. They're homophobic. We don't like it. Dude, I'm so jealous of that trip. So am I.
