Starting point is 00:00:46 It's a travel podcast every week. Me and a guest go to some place they've been. It's not a travel blog. It's an experiential to see what they did. It's the only travel podcast that has never been responsible for over 100 deaths. a Holocaust, only one that can claim that not responsible for over 100 Holocaust deaths. Today, my guest is a, has a namesake of a non-Holocast survivor. John Fidelberg.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Thank you very much for having me. I'm very happy to be here. I named my closer after you. That's to this day, one of the great honors of my life. It really is. I got the shirt hanging up in the studio still. I remember when you, you had told me, no, no, someone DM me about it. And I was like, we mean Ari's doing like a joke about Fidelberg?
Starting point is 00:01:34 And then you explained it. You're like, no, no, it's not actually you. It's definitely not you. But that is, that's a real honor. It feels nice. Yeah. I don't know if it's intended to be, but it feels like, no, it is. Let me get up with this guy.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Did ass his phone, feel bad. She should give something back. I think I still have the new phone from then. From then? Yeah. Okay. I still felt bad about that. I honestly, could not care less.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Okay, that's good. Where do you want to go today? I'm glad you're in here. I'm very glad to be here. Yeah. I was thinking, let's head to Salamanca Spain. Oh, okay. Nice.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Where'd you go here? What was your trip? I was here. I was here for studying abroad. However, I was in high school. Oh, what? Yeah. So I went to a boarding school, and we got to study abroad when we were in between our junior and senior year of high school.
Starting point is 00:02:22 What? Yeah, it was fucking nuts. In between your junior and senior year of high school? So what do you mean? Summer? summer of summer of oh five it must have been summer of oh five um we had like the opportunity some of the Spanish kids got to go with I went to a boarding school in Rhode Island and um it was like in conjunction with URI University of Rhode Island so we got to go with them
Starting point is 00:02:47 and their college kids me and like four of my friends badass yeah and four of your friends yeah like honestly more than four but like four of my really good friends wow you do me a favor just because of the bandit you twist that one light and make it face me but okay great perfect nailed it
Starting point is 00:03:09 dude I'm so low fire the YMH people are just like what come on I'm doing one this week with Yannis and it was like so just Yonis wasn't in focus the entire time and I'm like
Starting point is 00:03:21 whose fault is that like what do you mean that was obviously yours 10 minutes ago you were like it's pretty easy yeah you learned stuff so that's so cool so what did you choose with your friends and just go do you guys all want to do this yeah it was um there were a couple of different options obviously for different like um
Starting point is 00:03:37 different languages i think some kids went to france some kids went to italy dorks losers homosexuals but we were not only not only was it me and my best friend it was me my best friend and the girl who was like my white whale in high school no you know like the girl where you're like dude isolation she's dating hotter guys than me she was she was she was way hotter than me, but I was like... Isolate. In Salamanca, come on the guy. It's going to be spiritual?
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah. That's your chance. Yeah. Get them alone for a long time. Didn't close. Damn it. But did close on the trip and it was my virginity. So, because I was 16, I think, something like that.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And then I was so... You're part Spanish now then. What's that? You're part Spanish now. She was a U.R.I girl. She was an American. But you fucked in Spain. But I fucked in Spain.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah, I lost my virginity in Spain. You know the thing where if you're like, if you're like used to have to come I don't know if it ever happened, but these pregnant Mexicans would swim around the border and have their baby just on U.S. soil before they got deported. My baby is American. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And so they can't send their parents back. Now, I don't know who's trying to change whatever, but like that idea, you fucked for the first time in Spain. You're part Spanish. I will gladly, Grazieus, I should say. No pas de nada. No, but the, yeah, it was,
Starting point is 00:04:55 but the caveat of that. Yeah. is that I was so drunk when I did it that I didn't really remember. And then for most of my life, I've said I lost my Virginia at 19 because I didn't have sex again for three years. And then I think on KFC radio one time we were talking about it and it just like flashed in my mind, me having sex in a bathroom. You know it was a bathroom. And I was like, oh, wait, I had sex in Spain once when I was 16. So that's where I lost my Virginia on this trip.
Starting point is 00:05:21 You stuck it in. Stuck. Oh, I don't. Full fuck. Conum or no condom? No condom. No condom. Then it counts.
Starting point is 00:05:27 No condom. No condom, dude. come on i've been i've been no condoms that came out but the um the it was it was in her it was in her bathroom they they were staying in like a hotel because the weird thing with the studying abroad because we were so young i lived with like a billet family what's a billet family like bill of bourbon like uh the yeah the um it's just a family like you state like they're just i don't know where they put in their name as like hey well willing to take in people and so I just lived with me and my buddy lived with this woman and
Starting point is 00:06:03 her husband for the whole time but the college aged girls could live in hotels or dorms and so it was like a bat like a dorm bathroom and I just have one clear image of her bent over the sink and my penis going in so I'm counting that as full sex wow statutory on her part she's statutory on her part for sure although I don't know maybe not in Spain because she didn't bring you there so I'm trying to do the lawyer here now she didn't transfer you to an international that's some sort of a crime right to get someone into a place where they are legal that would be sex that's sex trafficking right yeah but you were just there i was just there i was there on my own accord i guess she's kind of like a roman polanski type she's to my mom auntambien she actually did fuck my mom you're right i mean you got by the way side note to have 16 year old boys in your house with your wife you've got to be so trusting of your relationship well they're like no chance they're not in anymore we were we weren't even i'm going to say this we weren't bad people they i believe the trip the school canceled the trip after us um i think it's back i do think it's being offered again
Starting point is 00:07:09 but i heard after us they were like we got to take a time out we can't keep having too wild we were too it was me and my buddy me and my friend were in particular out of control and like we didn't talk to our parents the whole time there like 2006 2005 No cell phones. Didn't we, we were, everyone else on the trip bought cell phones to call their parents except me and my best friend. And we're like, we're using that money. Oh, yes, cell phones. Yeah, they were cell phones.
Starting point is 00:07:36 There was there. Not smartphones. Not smartphones, not international. And also the calling plans were retarded back then. Yeah. People, people, everyone, like that was honestly the first event when we got there was like, everyone getting a group and our teacher was like, okay, we're going to buy. Sim cards or cell phone. I think it was full on cell phones for people.
Starting point is 00:07:57 and me and my buddy were just in there like we're just spending our money on booze we're not doing this so i think we spent like we sent one email to our parents when we were like 16 years living across the country living across the ocean um but yeah with the family they really didn't like us because one we weren't used to siesta so and we didn't realize how real people are about siesta so let's explain it what is it just like like they like at 2 p.m from 2 to 5 like everything shut down bars are shut down like this was our experience and this is salamanca too so this is not really one of this main like like touristy spots no no this was we were at la universidad de salamanca nice you did the THs um so we were at the college wow uh I don't think it's necessarily like a big
Starting point is 00:08:46 tourist spot it was a really fun town but um I think I think it's pretty based on the university okay uh but the parents so we in our learning of what siesta's is like you know a lot of date when you're fucking travel in the country 16 years old for the first time like you want to go out you want to have fun all that shit and everything would be closed in town during siesta time so we would be so we realized okay we have to take the naps as siesta's yeah you take a nap I mean what do do you just walk around or you're supposed to like sleep we would go home into our we'd get into our bedroom and we had bought a bottle of whiskey and we would just get shit for us
Starting point is 00:09:23 until we passed out and and and then that pissed off the family to the point where they would beat us and we didn't like not hard or anything like that but they hit us i've been i've been hit more often by this mom in spain than i was ever hit by my own mother what what and it was kind of funny she's like an older not older but you know at the time she was probably in her 50s and you know you're kind of getting whack and you're kind of giggling a little bit but they would they they they i got hit with a spatula in the face once because at dinner she was trying to say she was she was feeding us food very kind and they wouldn't they wouldn't turn off the simpsons during dinner so like we would be eating here and like right close to us just the simpsons would be on full volume and at one time she was trying to explain to me that this was a meal she invented that she was serving to us and it was sausage and potatoes and i just made a kind of a comment kind of a joke like pretty sure the polish invented this or whatever country
Starting point is 00:10:23 you choose to believe invented sausage and potatoes. That's not a high, it's not a high level fusion meal. And I was like, nah, someone else made this. And she just went, she was scooping it.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And she just went, whoppa. And she had, they had like lawned, a used spatula, too. A used spatula. It wasn't even like a beating spatula. Like,
Starting point is 00:10:42 all right, all right. But they were, they were people who, if they had children, they definitely abused them. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:49 that, listen, that's part of it. Yeah. That's just part of it. Wow Spatula That's the flat one Flat one
Starting point is 00:10:56 Yeah yeah Makes a good pop And it's got lines in it To let stuff go So you're like Oh Damn so what did you do all day All day
Starting point is 00:11:05 All day we would I honestly don't even have Memories of going to class I don't know how we We would go out It's summertime How are you gonna go to class Doesn't even count
Starting point is 00:11:12 Anyway does it It's honestly It's probably the only valid college credits I have right now But the we would drink I guess we would go to class
Starting point is 00:11:24 I remember some nights we would go out and we would sleep on the steps to call to school so the two girls who were there with would know to wake us up to go in because we were just out like La Tupateria which is a bar where they it was just called the shop bar
Starting point is 00:11:40 where they had absinth and we would be there Dude how cool is absinth Is that's the way they put like the sugar cube on there and light it but this this bar I don't think they were doing in the official absinth, but at the time,
Starting point is 00:11:54 they had two versions of absent they would sell. La Tapaturia? La Chupatria. C-H-U-P. Yeah, right there. Whoa, it's still here. Cool bar.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I don't know. I'm sure it's just a very standard bar, but in my head, this bar is like, this bar is the Mecca. I mean, no, absent, it's not the Dumbo absinth anymore. It never has been since I've been alive.
Starting point is 00:12:17 It's always the rumor of like, this will make you hallucinate. Yeah. Like, hey everybody. Ari Shafir here to break in and tell you a little bit about the guest, John Fidelberg. Oh, I don't have a Fidelberg shirt. Oh, I should have brought my Fidelberg shirt. Damn.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Oh, I have Fidelberg. Anyway, let me tell you about John first. He's a really funny podcaster and he's a one-time standout. He's gone up on fucking Burt shows before. But he does sketches and he has a sketch show called Out of Order. And this new season airs two nights. I am on the first episode. I did some acting.
Starting point is 00:12:54 First acting I've done since a movie I don't really want to tell you about because it was so bad and I'm embarrassed to have been on it. And it was starring like big stars. John Hamm, Gail Fanakis, the fucking Wonder Woman. And I'm so embarrassed by how terrible it was that I don't really tell anyone about it. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And I quit acting over it. Quit acting over for a long time. And John Fidelberg has pulled me out of my retirement into the new episode of Out of Order coming out of a day. It's a sketch show with Fidelberg, KB, no swag, Lil Sass, and Nick Tarani.
Starting point is 00:13:25 They're making good fun stuff. It was a fun project to be on. Project. Look at me. I'm talking like talent now. But he's also got two other episodes, two other seasons of it, and it's fucking great.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Fidelberg, dude, the sketch shit you do is like, that's, focus on that. You've got to leave KFC. He's on KFC radio. You've got to leave KFC behind. And when I say leave him behind, Fidelberg,
Starting point is 00:13:45 I hope you understand what I mean is cut his brakes. do you understand what that means that doesn't mean like undercut him on jokes stuff like that i mean like find his car cut his brakes something bad happens to him his kids are orphans not your responsibility let fucking uh uh who's the guy who runs barstool portnoy dave portnoy that's his responsibility to take care of the fucking orphan kids of kFC you just cut the brakes now First episode back on KFC Radio, you're going to keep the name.
Starting point is 00:14:23 You're going to keep the name out of respect. You're going to have to work on some tears. So you might have to do a few takes of this. But first episode back is going to be very well watched, very well watched. You've seen most of the L.A. comedy scene when any of their friends get accused of... Then they go right to selling them out as fast as they can. And that's on a bad circumstance. Now, we're talking about KFC died.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Don't mention the brakes. Just say, he died in a car accident. It's, I, as people who come from lawyers, Final Break, don't mention the brakes. Don't call attention to yourself on that. You just cut the brakes. Then you take over the show. So sure. I'm not talking about that.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Obviously do that. Obviously be the number one guy there. Get rid of the competition. Get over the other guys if they start to suspect. Cut break. Cut break. But what we're talking about right now is your sketch show out of order. And I think you really should commit more to that because I think your sketches are fucking great.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Everybody go check them out right now on YouTube. YouTube.com slash out-of-order with three R's. What? Is that right? Yep. Out-of-order with three R's. Well, it's four R's, I guess, total. In China, you can see it at YouTube.com slash out-of-order.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Three else. It's a comedy sketch show. Out of order. Check it out right now. And I named my closer in my special America's sweetheart after John Fidelberg. Yeah, Yoni Fidelberg. John, Yoni is Jewish for John. Yoni Fidelberg, the harshest joke in my last special, if you made it to the end.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Netflix said no one's going to make it to the end because you made it over 70 minutes. The algorithm does not show it as much to people if you go over 70 minutes. I'm like, you should fix the algorithm. But they're like, yeah, it doesn't really work that way. So you might not have seen it, but go if you want, go to my special. America Sweet Art right now, rewind 15 minutes, press play, and it'll play from there. You'll see a whole bit about John Fidelberg. And I have about 11 Fidelberg shirts left in my store, Ari Shafir, where you can also get
Starting point is 00:16:29 UBit Chipping shirts and go for hike shirts and stuff, but you want that Fidelberg shirt. You want one of those last Fidelberg shirts. Yoni Fidelberg, true legend in the game. Cut those breaks, bro. All right, check them out. I've also done a lot of episodes of KFC Radio. You can see me on those too. if you want a place to start on that show.
Starting point is 00:16:47 But go see the little sass and fucking Fidelberg sketch show. Out of order. All right. Let's get back to Spain. I remember one time I was, I had a hockey tournament when I was probably the year before this
Starting point is 00:17:01 when I was in Spain. Yeah. I had a hockey tournament when I was 15 in Prague. In Prague. And I had smuggled back absent in my hockey equipment and was so scared. I was like, I'm so getting arrested for this.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I had a national. dude like literally i had a nip in a hockey skate and i was like they are going to send me to guantanamo i mean cool looking bar it was a very cool so they let you in at 16 they wouldn't care no they didn't give a fuck they didn't care about anything the fuck are all these fucking all these great sex on the big shots sex uh anyway yeah um yeah and then like over there we met like a bunch of french kids who we hung out with our for the rest of the trip who were awesome were they in college too I think so, yeah They would do this thing that I
Starting point is 00:17:45 To this day it's the cool It's so dumb But at that time of my life I think of it as the coolest thing They would keep their cigarette That they weren't smoking Above like a mustache So they kind of like get the
Starting point is 00:18:00 And I think part of it is that we were so young We had no facial hair Anything like that But I think they'd like wet it a little bit And then they could stick it to the top of their lip And they'd just walk around the bar all night And for some reason I thought it was fucking awesome
Starting point is 00:18:13 This is funny when somebody's two years older than you're like that's the guy's the cool Yeah yeah yeah exactly Adult swim You're like so big Like 17
Starting point is 00:18:20 They're fucking children But like That's lame The cigarette thing 100% It's so lame But at the time I was
Starting point is 00:18:28 Dude I was in Chicago At whatever At a barstool And I was doing their fucking stupid Fucking whatever challenge Sports challenge The gauntlet
Starting point is 00:18:37 Yeah And I fucked up Pretty bad First one So I was like I'm coming back Before I have to go out to Sean Burruss
Starting point is 00:18:42 So I did it again. I was like, I'm going to smoke this time. And Kat's like, okay, you can. So I did, but I was like rolling a cigarette. And he goes, you roll cigarettes? I'm like, yeah, he goes, don't you find that kind of try hard? And I was like, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:55 It's cool and lame. I understand this. It slows me down. Yeah, it's cool and lame. Yeah, that is a cool thing to do, but also like, so you're just going to walk around with like a cigarette right here. Here I get it. Yeah, there.
Starting point is 00:19:08 It's really cool. That's cool. How do you keep that in? I've lost so many cigarettes having there. I try and do it all the time with fucking... I smoke like the little dog walkers for weed. Yeah. And I lose them.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You lose them all the time. There needs to be like a flap in your hat or something like that to really hold it in there. So you can just pull it out. I had the idea. I swear to God, I think Bieber has had it as well. Fuck Bieber. But Haley Bieber put out this thing. It's like a phone case that has like whatever her...
Starting point is 00:19:38 She has some kind of cosmetic company. Okay. And it perfectly fits like the lip box. on the phone case. And I remember seeing that and going, that would work with a joint or a lighter. And then... Work with it would.
Starting point is 00:19:49 I think they, I think Bieber is now selling the joint one. All you would need is something to not make the joint break in your pocket. Yeah. So just a little bit of case where it's completely encased. Let me, the side opens up. It could be like one of those pen things, you know, those phone,
Starting point is 00:20:07 those computer pens. Yeah, yeah, like the stylus. Stylus, yes. Yeah, like something like that. we'd pop it and it comes up or I don't know but you can make it let's see what they got
Starting point is 00:20:16 so this is what her phone case looks like which is this here plug this in um no not wrong phone what
Starting point is 00:20:26 wrong phone oh right right right right but it looks like that and so he kind of because she patented it he was able to add like a top to it and so he made it for that he at least put on it I don't know
Starting point is 00:20:41 everything I say please take with a grain of salt but um he it was at least in the zeitgeist that beaver's connected to it yes wow that's it that's it yes it's just like hers jesus is jesus july's so wife haley's approval for this and i was like yeah begs wife haley's approved tell you what they share my like yeah i i think he i think he like jokingly was like hey babe we should do this or something like that there's any like Like, there's got to be some level of real to these people, but how much of a percentage is it? See, I, my line of thinking on all this has changed completely in the years, like, since we've gotten to know people.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Okay. Right? Because, like, where, so if you think Beaver is completely fake and not a real person and all that stuff, which is a valid opinion, where do you draw the line with the people we know now? Well, I know a lot of them are products. You know, real? Yeah, a lot of them have become products. but I see what you're saying so this is just for the public
Starting point is 00:21:44 you're saying hey publicist say I begged her to do whatever this has nothing to do with our real shit I think I think that's all aggregated She doesn't even know we're doing it I think he just put it on Instagram and had made a jokey comment Yeah and now the aggregation gets to like
Starting point is 00:21:58 Oh he had to beg her He's like I made a post joking around my wife like it's not that serious But I always think about that now With like When people are like Whoa celebrities aren't real I'm like, I don't, at this stage, like, you fucking know some pretty good celebrities.
Starting point is 00:22:13 When you do meet them in their quiet moments, it's like, well, this isn't for anything. It's like, oh, hey, I like your stuff. Like, oh, thanks. Yeah, right. And you're like, oh, you're not this. Yeah, maybe I'm, maybe you're right. Maybe it's just the public side of them. Yeah, the public side.
Starting point is 00:22:27 But, like, I mean, I've, I talk about the KSy radio. Like, we've met hundreds of people and never, like literally zero. Maybe it's one or two. Have I been like, ah, you're a fake piece of shit. They're usually pretty good dudes. Not fake, but they're just always. always on and they're trying to be something at all times yeah but i also noticed that with just like anyone who wants attention like there are there are lower level comics and lower level like
Starting point is 00:22:50 podcasters who they've come on and i'm like you're really laying it on thick here dude yeah exactly yeah there is that too like yeah like you're trying to but also i guess we did that in college too i'm like i want to be the guy who's into this yeah i want to be the guy with a cigarette atop of my life yeah right exactly exactly so they're fake too but like they're not okay i get what you're saying you might be right anyway bottom line is this is a great invention one note it's sticking up too far that part's gonna break yep you're right about that
Starting point is 00:23:16 it's gonna pull out or it's gonna break right that's that part right this area here 100% break and then if it's a dog walker you're gonna get it lost in there you'd have to be like you need a top on it that's all something you can flip up a little pop top yeah flip up and take out all right Justin reach out to us we've made it better
Starting point is 00:23:33 bebes yeah do you think is anyone who's a complete fake or complete product not complete but like you know hella it's it's hard not to throw katie perry in there after all this hullabaloo swift i feel like swift will break up with boyfriends because the the media wants her to i think that's what people say she broke up with that guy who made an ice bike joke who her ex-boyfriend oh matt healy is that who it was 1970s yeah man yeah and it was like
Starting point is 00:24:03 clearly it was just a joke about a made-up name but do you think it was from that is that They broke up, like, right after. He, I always thought of... And then Ice Spice is on tour with her or something like that. And it's like, what is a whole bit? Maybe it's just the public-leaning persona. Yeah, I always thought of that one, put that one in particular, like, that was never a real relationship. That's it too.
Starting point is 00:24:22 But also, like, they're going out with the people that they're supposed to do it with. But is there a sense of like, I've been in relationships where I'm like, this isn't a real relationship. I'm not doing it for the public, but I'm like, this is a quick little fuck and we'll have a good time. But, like, I don't, I think we both understand that this is not. not a real right there's bad we're not working towards a while yeah yeah we're just having fun and then and then like six months later it's like are we doing anything like come on no you know we're not yeah you know we're not if you're asking you know and and i've been the one to ask i've been we're doing anything and they're like no son come on okay i just want to know what this is like
Starting point is 00:24:54 you don't just want to know yeah because if you just want to know you'd be fine with the answer like no we're just hanging that's a good point yeah just wanted um i heard uh let's get back to solomarcho but i heard Vince Vaughn when he was dating um jennifer anerson he was like hanging out at the store at the time so he knew some of my friends and they were like he goes it's just weird like you go on a date with a girl and then you need to make a statement about it
Starting point is 00:25:17 are you guys seeing each other like I don't know man I've been on I've seen her twice and now I have to make a public statement declaring my intention yeah like this is wild I don't know I might just want to bang I might not this is way too early for this it's not even the fuck date yet we don't even know each other yet
Starting point is 00:25:31 yeah and I literally mean that we're both putting forth images of who we are rather than who we actually are And then they have to, like, make it a thing. So it's like, you've got no chance, really, in a real thing. Yeah. You have to really hide it. And then how's that a relationship?
Starting point is 00:25:44 Like, let's meet in private at a bar where there's no cameras allowed. And then we'll talk. And then we'll figure out who we are. All right. Let's go back to Salamanca. Okay. So you're there. 16.
Starting point is 00:25:56 So fucking cool. Dude, it's, it's insane. When I think back, and like, like I said, the year, the summer before I was in Prague for a hockey tournament. This summer, I was in Salamanka for, like, I'm like, what the fuck were my parents thinking letting me go do this shit but I ultimately think it was a good thing yeah what'd you get out of it I got college credits
Starting point is 00:26:16 okay I mean in life lost my virginity that's huge huge that's huge forgot about it but still and that's pretty much it did you like get more you'd already been to Pragues you'd already been out of the country I've been out of I've been a traveler but you know what that's actually a weird thing too like I've actually stopped saying
Starting point is 00:26:34 I like to travel or I'd stop thinking of myself as a traveler because in this world now I know people like you I know people like Wantan Don and I'm like those are travelers I like to take trips you guys are fucking travelers
Starting point is 00:26:47 I think I'm the same way as you and then Wantan Don it's like oh well you'll go live somewhere for a while like he'll just disappear and like he'll disappear he'll have no plan for where he's staying like well I'll do that too but like no plan
Starting point is 00:27:00 doesn't make you a traveler and the plan just make you irresponsible that's true I did the no plan once to London yeah and that was It was great. It was a fun weekend, but that was probably the last time. I was in Greece. I did a show in Athens, and I was going to stay for another week or 10 days,
Starting point is 00:27:13 end of a European tour. And so I did the gig, and then I'm like, all right, that was great. And I was walking home. Like, where are you going? I'm walking home. It's only like, it's 35 minutes. And it's nice out. Like, no, it's kind of dangerous.
Starting point is 00:27:23 And I was like, buddy, I get it. But I'm like a pretty season travel. And he goes, okay, well, then you would know you're walking through the heroin district if you walk home. He goes, I can drive you 30 minutes away from your place on that side and let you off there but like that's and i was like oh yeah i didn't do any research i'm job pretty bad at it dude when i did the london one yeah it was because me and my buddy were going to a liverpool game nice at excuse me at anfield yeah and wednesday night he called me game was saturday
Starting point is 00:27:51 it was uh liverpool man city eden hollins first year it was like game was in november i think liverpool had sucked to start the year it was a massive game and he calls me wednesday night and he said what you doing i said nothing he goes what are you doing this weekend I said nothing. He goes, I got two tickets to Liverpool, man said, do you want to go? I was like, yeah, 100%. He goes, okay, so where should we stay? And I said, let's just stay in London.
Starting point is 00:28:13 And then let's fly into London. We'll stay there for the night. We'll check out the game Saturday morning. Because you've got to fly to London anyway. And he's like, yeah, that's perfect. That makes a lot of sense. Okay. We woke up Saturday morning, luckily because of the time change, we woke up at like 4 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:28:26 whatever. But I was like, all right, I'll figure out how to get to Enfield from here, threw it in the Google. Liverpool's four hours from London. Yeah, yeah. I did not know that. It seems so small Look how small it is
Starting point is 00:28:37 So we were like Because that that was my thought I was like How big can the UK be Or how big can England be And I was like I had to wake him up I was like dude
Starting point is 00:28:46 Liverpool's four hours away And you're like Did you make the game? Made the game Oh because you woke up that early Time change Yeah you gotta get going It's a noon game right
Starting point is 00:28:54 It was I think it was a 2pm game Or maybe a 4 Wow I forget exactly what it was But it was we had time Like we ended up We took a train
Starting point is 00:29:01 But at that time Because everything was sold out So we had to take the commuter rail. We basically took the metro north from London to Liverpool. It was stopping non-stop. We were standing the whole time. I was so fucking hungover. We actually ended up getting to
Starting point is 00:29:14 somewhere in the midway point. I think it's Birmingham. It's like a midway point. And then after two hours, you have to switch trains. And then the next two hour train takes to Liverpool. And at that one, I was like, dude, I can't do it. I can't do another one. So we had to end up paying a cab, which was pretty
Starting point is 00:29:31 pricey, but not insane. But that was my like, all right, I got to start doing research. It's so funny when you go from like, oh, let's get some, let's get a nice English breakfast first and then we'll like kind of get away. Maybe we'll walk around up there. So let's like get going. So looking at the stuff like, hey, we got to go now. Yeah. Like, put your pants on. Forget brushing your teeth.

Starting point is 00:33:59 happened and they're like we got in a fight we got in a fight yeah that was it was straight up fucking uh jets and sharks like it was it was it was in that if you if you go to the yeah you're still at tripaderea yeah so trooperorea was like right by a plaza obviously it's europe there's 10 million plazas okay and it was like us and our boys lined up them and their boys lined up and they we marched at each other like Braveheart style plus at this one where is this Plaza de Monterey that must be it wow you fought here what no no no because it was one of those plaza like it was a like a fucking um you know like a what's the word I'm looking for cobblestone it was a cobblestone type plaza right right in La Chupiteria like the Chupitaria
Starting point is 00:34:44 like the Chupitaria is there if you walked past Jupiter to the left whatever I don't okay directions but it was like kids walk marching towards you each other throwing to each other and then you know what they did europeans didn't have have a plan for it went with kicks first no went with kicks a kick to the gut first that's not how i learned how to fight that's not it's not at all and also it's not fair it's like when you fight a hockey guy and he started pulling your shirt up and you're like what i don't understand what you're doing what are you doing you can't comprehend that they be doing something to you yeah yeah and then you get that shirt over and you're like out the fuck and they
Starting point is 00:35:22 Whale on you. But that was a big fight we got in there. But fuck, what was I just going to say? God damn. We did some traveling. Where'd you go? We went to Madrid, Barcelona. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:35:42 In Sevilla, we got Bombayeta. What is it? No, I'm sorry, this wasn't in Sevilla. This was in like Santiago, something like that. it was an ass um it must have been s let's see it was uh the eta which is the eta which is the like kind of like the IRA of the boss country which is bought the boss country's like separatists in the north eastern corner of the country i believe okay and but what they'll do is ira like is that they'll plant a bomb but then they will call and say evacuate you know it's coming yeah
Starting point is 00:36:19 and they'll evacuate that bank there's a bomb in it and we were in the bank and we got evacuated that's cool yeah it was awesome did you see the separatist shit because they have like three countries there in Spain Basque Spanish and then like there's another one I don't know the third one there's like three regions
Starting point is 00:36:36 that are one out Is Spain a mess Do you do you Are you aware of this because you travel more I hear people like referencing Spain like becoming a borderline dictatorship Bask and
Starting point is 00:36:52 Catalonia. Catalonia, I have heard of now that we see. I don't know what their issue is, but I have. A lot of it's language, which is so fucking weird. Maybe it's because I'm in a language that's never been challenged in my country. Maybe it's because I have the primary language. Yeah, I think Franco was like, hey, you can't speak, you can't speak Bosca anywhere. You can't speak Catalonia anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:10 And then they go, if you do, we'll kill you. And they go, okay, well, we're going to teach to them in private. I'd be like, all right, well, if everyone's speaking Spanish, then we'll just do that. We'll figure it out. Yeah. Dude, they hate Franco there. I remember one morning. We were in the Plaza Mayor, and there was some shit-faced guy.
Starting point is 00:37:26 And around the Plaza Mayor, they had, like, the busts of all the former presidents. Yeah. And they were up high. Hammered guy, just taking his shoes off and just throwing it at Franco. And then his shoe would fall, and he'd pick it up, and he'd throw it back at Franco. It was probably, it was probably, like, 9 a.m. Guy was plastered. And it was just like, as long as I saw that, man, he kept just picking up his shoe and throwing it back.
Starting point is 00:37:51 For all I know, he's still doing it right now. But I walked through the plaza, you know, probably took three minutes. You'd throw the shoe. You'd pick it up. Throw the shoe again. Wow. Imagine hating an old leader that much, not even a current one. What'd you eat when you were there?
Starting point is 00:38:05 Do you eat like Spanish food or do you just kind of like? Well, I eat, you know, obviously the meal that my mother invented. I, you know what's funny? You're 16 too. You don't really have options to go out whatever you want. Honestly, I can't tell you the food that much because it was, you know what we ate a lot of? What? Burger King?
Starting point is 00:38:21 because they sold beer there and hot dogs. I mean, up with beer, down with burger cane, but yeah, and hot dogs. Dude, they would, Gaspacho, but the, they would make these hot dogs. It was just from a streetcar. Yeah. And they would get a big, nice roll, like a, like a, it wasn't quite a bag yet, but it was something like that. And they'd chop the top off and they dig a hole out. And they stuck, they'd squirt, ketchup in it, mustard, oh, mayonnaise, all this shit.
Starting point is 00:38:48 And then they'd insert the dog. long ways to this day the best hot dog ever had in instead of opening up this way open it up that way open it up that way and they would squirt it in so it all kind of once they shove the dog in it would kind of come end up coming out the top it was like displaced water displacement yeah wow to this day the best hot dog ever had in my life is a Spanish hot dog it pains me to say it but by far I wouldn't I'm okay with that I don't think we stand by it's American though it is right like I mean it's not it's from like Frankfurt yeah Yeah, it's, yeah, it's for sure, Frankfurt.
Starting point is 00:39:22 I hadn't thought of that when I said it, but now, yeah, it's for sure from Frankfurt. But the, when I was at that London game, that Liverpool game, and when we finally got to Liverpool, I was so hungry. And I thought, what's it me? Like, I was so hung over, you know, I was like, I can't stomach anything. Yeah. I'll just, oh, whack a hot dog real quick. Yeah. And I end up throwing that up.
Starting point is 00:39:45 It's the worst hot dog I ever had is from Liverpool. I was with a Liverpoolian, Kyle Legacy, and I was like on an assid in Edinburgh, and I was like, you do drugs, you're like, I'm hungry, I've got to get something. I got this like savory crepe. It was all fair food then. And I was like, oh, I took a buyer about it.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I was like, I'm done. Liverpool, Carl Legacy, give me that. I'm like, okay. That was probably the issue in Liverpool, too, is the drugs. because That's the issue Well that's why I wasn't Very receptive to food
Starting point is 00:40:23 But dude we were at the bar Right across the street from Anfield I don't know what its name is But it was right across the street And I went to take a piss The one thing I noticed there was a lot of They're like just piss on the wall You know what I mean
Starting point is 00:40:37 Like it was a tiled wall And there was a thing on the bottom With like a grate on the bottom But like there was no delineation Of like here's a journal It was just like just pee on the wall So they were by like 50 of us in there
Starting point is 00:40:51 Whatever taking a piss And I'd take a piss And I'd turn to walk out the door And someone is just standing by the door Just giving bumps like child soldiers To anyone? Anyone walking out He's just like here you go
Starting point is 00:41:02 Here you go For the soccer game To the soccer game That's why not just random It's like we're all gonna tune up Yeah he was like let's get fucking loose Awesome Yeah it was great
Starting point is 00:41:09 That's awesome It didn't make you very hungry For a hot dog But did you guys do drugs In your school here in Salamanca? No I didn't do drugs, really, until college. Yeah, me neither.
Starting point is 00:41:18 So, this was, this was just strictly a booze trip. Salamanca, why there? But I think just the college, in Madrid, I went to a bullfight, and that was the most depressing thing I've ever done about it. No, really? It was Ari, it was awful. Why? I'm 100% like you.
Starting point is 00:41:36 I thought I'd really want to go. Somebody from the New York Comic Club said he's going, he's going to do that. I'm jealous. I, like, I wasn't dragged to it. I very much wanted to go. I wanted to experience the culture. I wanted to feel all that. And then you get in there and it gets pretty sad, pretty fucking.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Why? It's like just when the bull is dying, so it's after he's gotten stabbed a bunch of times, it's really, like, so he becomes incontinent. So he's kind of just like stumbling around the fucking ring, pissing and shit and like, it's just, he's clearly, like put him out of his misery. He's dead, dude.
Starting point is 00:42:12 And like, this guy's just kind of dancing around him still. I only watch one and I was like Alright let's get the fuck out of here It was it was not my favorite way To see an animal get killed Not that I have one But
Starting point is 00:42:23 Damn I saw rooster fights once And it was like that thing You know they tie a fucking razor to you Yeah yeah They go like this They don't know they have a razor on them They're just like it's weighted
Starting point is 00:42:34 But they're still like trying to slash you With their claws Not to the death They think they're just like scratching Another rooster And they slice them But there's almost no Sometimes it's blood
Starting point is 00:42:44 But sometimes there's no blood, it's just a clean, whatever. And you see the other road's going back, and then at some point he just goes, I'm going to lightheaded here. Because he's just lost a shitload of blood. Right. And that's what happens to the bull. The bull has, like, he's, he's moaning. And think about, like, if that.
Starting point is 00:42:58 But a bull is like a real fucking animal. A ton or whatever the fuck of bullways. And it's just kind of like lumbering around. And I did not. And typically, I like doing that stuff. I like doing, you know, if I'm going to someone's culture, I don't want to go and be in America. I don't want to go. Dogfight seemed like it'd be the worst.
Starting point is 00:43:14 What's that? Dog fights seem like to be the worst. Dog fights are pretty tough. But if Mike Vick invites you to one, you're like, who do you go to a Mike Vick party or a P. Ditty Party in their prime? Ooh, great question. Let me hit you with some information before you answer. Okay. You go to a P. Diddy party.
Starting point is 00:43:32 You go to Michael Vick party. You know which side of the party you're on on the Michael Vick party. So I know I'm... They're not going to pit you against me. Okay. At the P. Diddy party, you're not positive how you're going to be treated in that party as an aggressor or as an aggressed. Okay. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:43:52 That's not 100% like, hey, come to a PDA, but I'm not getting attacked. Am I? You're like, I can't tell you for sure. I think for some reason that makes me say Diddy Party. You would rather go to a day party. Take the risk. I don't know why. Like, whoa, I might be a victim.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Yeah, throw my name in that. But, yeah, I don't know. like yeah i think dog party would be worse i think a dog party it's like oh they're gonna hang it yeah right they're gonna drown it is it is not they you know what really turns me off to the vick thing what aside from the horrible crossies come on dude cut that out cut that out and you can't put that on him no the the stand or whatever it's called they had like uh i remember reading about this back in the vick time it was like some kind of mechanism that a dog could not get away
Starting point is 00:44:44 and so then they would have one of the aggressive pit bulls just get at it have sex with that dog who couldn't get away and then they would raise that they'd breed that dog they'd be like this is a fucking aggressive dog that's how they breed dogs to make like whatever the trade is to like carry on more yeah so they get two friendly dogs
Starting point is 00:45:03 breed them just dog would be super front breed those other two friendly dogs they would breed the very aggressive ones and I was like I don't know if I'd that doesn't sit right to it except the people that are into it anyway so the bullfight was like not like that was there food there uh food at the bull fight great question i don't remember it being a massive deal if there was it like a ball game yeah yeah it was the the big um big fingers it was it was like a coliseum um okay dirt ground and then the there really there wasn't much fanfare going to a sporting event in the
Starting point is 00:45:40 in a different country, even if it's as little as that. Yeah. They don't like it like we like them. I noticed that even going to that soccer game. Even soccer? Even soccer was like, this is, the fans are crazy, but the production value is not the same. Right. So the fans, the fans, I would just go so far as I'd say care more.
Starting point is 00:45:59 But the event itself does not feel like an event. Like going to that Liverpool game was cool. But like, you know, there's no big anthem. There's no big fucking. Replace scoreboards. fucking teletrons there's no stoppage in play so there are no replays there's like it's it
Starting point is 00:46:16 would really ruin bullfighting I thought it was pause hold on let's see if they made that I think it's cool to make like the event but it's like we're just sportsmen we just like fucking sports it's like okay that's cool but the you know it works with soccer it doesn't work so much with bull
Starting point is 00:46:32 because then they got to drag the thing out Ari oh you got to get them when it's dead how the fuck you think they do that more bulls what they get bulls to tie it up and like i would assume so i guess they could use like a forklift or something but it was i i don't know how they did it because it was again it was soon as the last that first bull was dead i was like i'm out of here how'd your friends like it they were we were all in unison
Starting point is 00:46:58 everyone everyone thought that was a lot remember when you were when you saw the something epstein there was a reporter who got taken by the taliban in like 2002 2001 one epstein or something like that they beheaded them on camera oh yeah the guy in the orange jumper i think so yeah something steen maybe i don't know but like um jewish and and an american so they're like but it was like they chopped him with like a machete but it didn't go all the way through and i remember going like well i can take anything whatever and you watch like ha ha like i'm indifferent to it and then like watch it and midway through the second one i was like i just felt it yeah i felt the like attachment to it and i'm just like i'm nauseous were you a live
Starting point is 00:47:40 league guy? Yeah, yeah. Dude, I would live leak. I actually, dude, I saw this guy on the train yesterday. Yeah. Um, in a t-shirt that just said, live leak scarring minds of like since 2006. What? Scarring minds alike since 2006. And I remember early bar school days when Kevin sent, I was an intern, Kevin sent me a link. Yeah. Oh yeah. Back in like 2010. What? That's he started yeah um i got a question about barstool for you the uh this guy's shirt this guy's shirt and his face also looks like he is currently looking at something on live league um why is this not going wild but i remember watching russians stab themselves with screwdrivers on that website this guy does look like he's a lively guy
Starting point is 00:48:32 Wow, weird. Wait, why don't it work? Fucking late. There we go. Yeah. Scarring minds alike since 2006. I remember when I started, Kevin sent me a link. That's a nice, like, on the slide take.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Yeah, right? Live leak. It was so good. That, justmeat.com. Were you a rotten.com? A little bit. Bro. I had a babysitter.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Yeah. Because I was probably like 12 when Rotten was really. really hit running. Yeah. I had a babysitter who used to just make me watch Rotten Lither. And she would show me anything from like, it was crazy. It was like, you know back in when you had like the family computer room. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:49:13 And she'd be like, John, come on in here. I got someone to show you. And it would be like Mother Teresa's autopsy. Is it still available? Do you think? Rotten? Yeah. You're going to answer it right now.
Starting point is 00:49:23 I'm going to guess yes. I think Rotten's still kicking. It's got to have an IP that's worth something. Yeah. Even if it's a redirect to a porn thing. I mean, Rotten was. Ryan was the one But she
Starting point is 00:49:36 I remember she had that one She showed me mother Teresa's autopsy once And then the one that sticks out in my head for some reason Is a kind of a tug-of-war contest with two black I'm sorry not black Blue-collar workers Both white guys And they both had hard hats on
Starting point is 00:49:53 But they were completely naked aside from that And their dicks were tied together with chains And they were having a tug-of-war contest and that just sounds like the worst thing in the world okay so rotten is not there that shocks me
Starting point is 00:50:11 live leak redirects to item flicks and just meat is just not there it's just available just meat was huge just meat was no is it just me or are you thinking the meat's been I thought just meat

Starting point is 00:50:45 The guy... You know what? I would be curious to see Meetspin again because I always pictured it as a transgender person. Because the tan lines on the person with the dick getting fucked. Yeah. Were that of a bikini. So I was always...

Barcelona, I fucking loved. So you would go all over. Yeah, it was just, we would have, our weekends were our own time. So, like, we would go to, some people went to Lisbon.
Starting point is 00:52:12 We skipped that trip, but we'd go around to, like, other places. But Salamanka was fucking sick. I really like Spain. I really, and at a time, it was because I spoke the language. I don't really speak it anymore. You just had the TH. It's set in there. I can still do the accent well.
Starting point is 00:52:28 And I could still survive. yeah but I can't at that time I was it's gone pretty close to fluent wow oh so you could really get around I could get yeah did you meet locals and stuff yeah fuck yeah we'd be I mean if you're at a bar out of the bars every night we but we they were like locals in the sense like you know you'd be college they'd be at college so it's like they weren't Salamanca locals they were Spaniards yeah if you're college park Maryland like yeah I mean I've been here for two years what are you guys doing here we got we got drunk so often there that we ended up thinking me and my best friend we were
Starting point is 00:53:02 like dude when we're drunk we're so good at spanish and so when we got home true and i actually i honestly do think that there is something to it there's something to it because you're out of your own head you're not worrying about are you're you nailing everything perfectly you're just kind of fucking flowing and we were like we speak spanish really well when we're drunk so when we got home our senior year SAT-2s took Spanish yeah and we were like dude we got to get fucked up for this so for the SAT-2s we were in the back of the lecture hall cheering remember Gatorade all-stars they're these mint little bottles they were terrible Gatorade okay but they're these little mini like I don't know smaller
Starting point is 00:53:43 kid-sized bottles and they're called Gatorade all-stars but we had filled them with vodka because we wanted to be drunk for the SAT-2s because we're better when we're drunk and we were in the back Anything but to study We were in the back of the We didn't we didn't study drunk We were just taking the test drunk Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:59 So we were in the back of the lecture hall Cheersing each other When we thought we were doing well At like 16 years old 17 years old whatever we were At the point that the SAT 2s came out But we cheers
Starting point is 00:54:10 We'd be like We're Gator in all stars And the proctor had to be like Can you be quiet in the back Sorry we're fucking hammered dude Trying to do well on this test idiot there is something you're just like more natural when you're drunk like i'm gonna go for it yeah i pretty much know what you're doing i think i i honestly believe that
Starting point is 00:54:29 we were better when we were drunk because you're so worried about saying the wrong word that you're not going this is pretty much it yeah this is you'll you'll get what i'm fucking saying here it was there there is a no doubt in my mind that are that's a standard thing have two beers and then you'll be way better well way better so we tried that with the SAT 22 didn't work out didn't work out so but that was our logic how'd you get fluent they just taught it to you growing up i don't know dude i was just really good i honestly i didn't like take special classes i didn't i was just very and fluent i don't know what the literal definition is i don't know if i could tell a joke in the language which is what i think the little definition is i think i think the military doesn't consider
Starting point is 00:55:12 you fluent until you can tell a joke in the language any joke i my first joke in Spanish. I was in Ecuador and I was on a tour group in Via Cabamba. It's like this like blue zone, real rainy, whatever, just like real lush. And there's Via Caroma coffee place, via Obama. And he's like, you know, it's a mixture via Obama and aroma via Caroma. And someone's like, oh my God, already did you know that? I was like, it's obvious. And the guy just started laughing. And I'm like, yeah, all right. But that's two words. That's true. That's That's two words. So I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I was good enough in that moment.
Starting point is 00:55:51 You got him with the Ace Solville. That's very funny. Yeah. Have you been to Spain? So you've been to Spain? I was Barcelona once, and then I went up from there to like this like about an hour and a half north to this like, um, fortressy, like beach town. Did you like Barcelona?
Starting point is 00:56:10 Yeah. I mean, but I wasn't, it's different when you're somewhere for like five days, four days. But I loved it. The, the Gowdy-esque. architecture i felt like i i i was young i was obviously but i was i was i was walking i going the architecture's here insane right and everyone was making fun of me like you look the architecture i don't know what to tell you you you notice that everything's fucking different right no it's the one of the highest level architects of all time we designed the city that
Starting point is 00:56:36 it reeks of that guy's like like footprint yeah and that building is insane cigar it's the sagrada sagrata familiar yeah it is a grata familiar is that of all the and I'm fairly well traveled of all the places I've been that were like a tourist attraction that might be number one so I might be the one that might be the one that lived in the Vatican as well I the Vatican really that really hit for me but the the the Sagrada Familia was unreal there are some that like okay I guess I saw it and others I guess I'm just Catholic now that like the Vatican was great this big church was great I also love this church well some of the like temples and like Southeast Asia like Cool, cool, cool, for sure. I know there's like, oh my God. Yeah. The Catholic Church, you do have to give it to them. They are, they have their problems.
Starting point is 00:57:26 It's like you wait in line. I had this theory I talked to some people about where it's like about tourism and stuff. Like you don't have to do the expected thing all the time. You actually get boggled down, bogged down if you do that. Like I always try to say like, what if you're going to New York for the first time? We're New Yorkers. So like, I understand. So like, do I have to go to the Empire State Building?
Starting point is 00:57:43 I'm like, not really. I've never, I might have gone up there once. I don't really even know. I'll tell you some cool bars to go to. That's the more than New York experience. Right. Which is a pizza shop. Like, it's not about which one.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Every neighborhood has like two or three good ones. Yeah. So find one of the good ones. And find it for yourself. I think that's part of traveling as a whole. Yeah. I just got back from Ireland and I was in Kinsale and I loved Kinsale. I was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:58:08 It's like, it's actually, so where I'm from in Rhode Island or I'm from Massachusetts, but Newport, Rhode Island is its sister city. So it's kind of like, that's why we went. Um, but, uh, it's just great, great town. And I kind of had the same conversation with a bartender there where I was like, where is like, you know, what I got to see? And he's like, you don't have to see anything, but you do have to stay here. And I was like, oh, that's a cool way of it.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Because he's like, he's like, he's like so many people come like you. Yeah. And, and he was right with what I was doing that trip where I was in Kinsale for two days. And then I was in Galway for two days. And I was in Dublin for two days. What's the thing you're supposed to do? He's like, you're supposed to stay here for a week and then, and absorb the cold. Yeah, on the Great Ocean Road in Australia, there's, like, one spot where Nick Cody was like, get a something, like a conch, I don't know, some pastry they have full of like some, some, some like, I can't even remember what it said, but like full of some seafood.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I was like, okay, and it's like, it's only there, get it on your way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not like you're going to wait in the line for two hours for it. Right. So like an occasional thing like that, but like I saw some Belgian couple in the East Village, like kind of looking around, looking at this and just like, and you don't want to ask the direction or what are you going? Like, where's like, where's, like, where's, like, the East Village? East Village. I'm like, oh, you're in it. And they're like, oh, it's just walk around. Yeah, yeah. Come across a record store. Come across a coffee shop. Do cocaine on a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Yeah, that's the vibe. There's nothing specific to cross off. Right. It's a cool place to hang. It is very, I don't spend much time over here. It's really awesome. I like these philis didn't used to live here. No, I lived on, I lived on Murray Hill and I lived on the upper east side. You just come down from Murray Hill to hear to party. Yeah. Yeah. It got weirder when after COVID. But like, but then also on top of that, it's, but don't be an asshole. So, like, you don't have to the Empire State Building sure sure sure but if you're in New York go I'm not going to try the pizza I'm like are you an idiot what the fuck are you here for why yeah and if you're right there in Barcelona go to that one that's the sagrata familiar it's so crazy I don't get the people like that who you're explaining like like who travel and like I'm not going to eat
Starting point is 01:00:06 to pizza or something like that like I always think of that with when I you know if I go to the Caribbean and particularly in the Caribbean people like to stay at resorts and stuff like that and I'm like, why the fuck are we in Jamaica to sit next to a guy who lives in Connecticut? This sucks. This is not fun for me to hang out at a beach with a bunch of people from America.
Starting point is 01:00:26 I don't see any appeal to that. Yeah, but also like, right, right. And you don't want to go like, listen, the weed we get here in all accounts is better than Jamaican weed. Jamaica just kind of like was started or was kind of known as like being more open about it. I'm like, I don't really know if it was legal.
Starting point is 01:00:41 But it's like, yeah, my weeds here is better. And I've been to Denmark and I've been to Amsterdam. I've been to Cleveland, I mean, Cleveland, I mean, Cleveland, Denver, I'm sure there's better weed. But, like, if somebody's like, you want to hit him, like, I'm not going to come back from Jamaica having not smoked a single hit of weed. That's like, don't be an asshole, you know? So that's the one in, in Spain that I'm like, do it.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Yes. And also, it takes your breath away. Like, go up the fucking steeples. Like, it is in. I, like, was, like, fully crying. I was kind of inconsolable. Have you been crying? What?
Starting point is 01:01:13 You've been crying? there at that church I was just like it was just like overwhelming how many how many times in your life do you have a cry like that where you're like where did this even come from oh a lot
Starting point is 01:01:25 to be honest I'm a cryer I've become a cryer really yeah like probably like the last two three years you smoke weed I smoke weed I smoke weed and I didn't use to smoke weed yeah and I get your emotions gone
Starting point is 01:01:38 it's crazy I cry all the time movies and stuff movies insurance commercials doesn't matter That's the best. Dude, they were even, I went to a Liberty game. And there's some new, something cloud, some new player. And then they were like, it was their opening day. And so they gave her a big cheer when they showed her.
Starting point is 01:01:55 And she was like, like, you know, she's playing in New York now. And I think she's already been an all-star. I don't follow. But like, I was like, oh, my God, it would be so nice to her. You made it, sweetheart. Yeah. And they're like, really cheers. She's like, oh, this crowd is so nice.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Thank you for welcoming me. And I was like, just a little tear up. But that's the crowd of familiar. I'm like, the ball, it's just so beautiful and grand. It's great. Honestly, I hadn't said, I hadn't really given it. I didn't want to show pictures because I'm like, you really just have to go. You got to be the, the, I hadn't given it real thought until right now and I'm putting
Starting point is 01:02:27 and I said it. I really think it's the best place I've ever been in my life. I didn't come on the show playing to say that. This kid on a ruin it for him, but from New York Comedy Club, he's like going to Spain. He goes from Barcelona and then what should I do, whatever. And I told him a couple things, suggestions. and then I try to give that to people and I don't know if they've been to somewhere
Starting point is 01:02:45 if somebody asked you like hey I'm going to a place you've been what should I do there's try these sort of things get to some of them but this one's a must this is what you have to do yeah and I was like can I just go to the outside I'm like no buddy you got to wait in line it's going to be like an hour and a half
Starting point is 01:02:59 or two hours in line you really have to do it it's going to be worth it it's insane but yeah that was that was Barcelona was one that I that was a place where I was walking around going I'm going to come back here
Starting point is 01:03:12 Like most places I go I never I never think it's my last time there I'm never like I got to get it all in I always think like I'll be back one day But to you? But rarely very rarely Because you've already crossed it off right?
Starting point is 01:03:24 Yeah But Barcelona was one that And I have been back I have not But I think I actually might This summer It rules I have a plan
Starting point is 01:03:34 But you know what And there's less siesta There aren't Everything closes But there's some stuff It's over just rare So if you're like I'm not quite hungry yet
Starting point is 01:03:41 And it's like one thing 30. I'm like, buddy, sit out and eat. Yeah. The, the, uh, fuck. I was just going to say, fuck. Do you have a tapas or the pinches or anything? I hate taffas. Hate them. Wow. Hot take.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Yeah, I, I like a meal. I don't like doing a bunch of small things and I, because what if I fucking like it, dude? That's what pisses me off. Get more. When, I don't, what do you mean? What if you like it? Get more. That's a whole, I want to order my food and have my food.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Hey, bring seven more of those hamon things, please. I guess I don't do tapas enough, but I did actually on the Irish strip. When I was in Galway, I went to a tapas restaurant there, Spanish tapas, Michelin Star, I forget what it was called,
Starting point is 01:04:22 but I'm sure you can look up. They couldn't have been many of them in Galway. And I was like, they had great meatballs, and I never got more because I was like, I don't know. I don't think you're supposed to keep talking to the waitress like that.
Starting point is 01:04:37 That's not my experience in going out and it's hard to get onto it. Let's see Cava Bodega Nope That one What Up top
Starting point is 01:04:48 A N-I-I-A-R Where are you looking Oh that No I guess that's not it Because I thought for sure It was One of the most Best Michelin Star
Starting point is 01:05:01 Meets we ever had I'm gonna text my mom Sangria tapas restaurant Kava Bodega She's gonna have no idea She's gonna have Do you want with her? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Wow. You went with your mom? Yeah, I tell with my parents all the time. Do you guys fuck? No, I just watch. Oh. Wow. There is something, but whatever.
Starting point is 01:05:26 How long total did you stay in Spain or like, what, what's, what, did you go hiking at all? There's a massive park right by there. Dude, we were drunk from the moment I lay, I, I was drunk before I got to Spain. I remember the flight there getting put in time out. Because I was drinking, we flew Air France, and I was drinking those Cronenbergs. Those are good.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Dude, there's something that hits harder with a beer that you can find here, but you just don't? Yeah. The 1664s or whatever. I was going to call it 1776, but whatever they are. Whatever they are. I'm like, oh, is that French? I don't even know where it's from.
Starting point is 01:06:00 I don't know either, but it was, so from the moment that flight took off. Yeah. Until the moment I got home, I was drunk. This seems crazy. What? I never, um, I never did close with my white whale.
Starting point is 01:06:14 You didn't, so you tried. But there was one night. This was in Santiago. This was the night after we had been, what do you call it? The etabom had happened earlier that day. Atta bomb? The one where everyone's got to evacuate. So that night, we got put on a bit of a hold.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Okay. Everyone, our teacher was like, no one's leaving the hotel tonight. Everyone stays in. We're like, fine. so we go to a convenience Because they're worried about this Yeah they're like
Starting point is 01:06:45 We're going home tomorrow At least they tell you there's a bomb Yeah I thought I thought that was very polite at them This is really flyover Like beat it But he was like so no one can leave And we're like okay fine And we go to a liquor store
Starting point is 01:06:58 Whatever we find beer And in Europe they don't put it in fridges There's no It's just out on the fucking shell So we get a 12 or a 16 Whatever the fuck we got And they drink it warm? I don't know, but we were going back to our hotel.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Okay, okay. So we didn't have fridges in there. So we had a bunch of warm amstels, not Amstel lights, just Amstels. And we were playing Kings. And the, I end up, I don't, I guess it was make a rule or whatever, but somehow I ended up with I had to be naked. But. But. the caveat was because it was two men it was only four of us playing it was two men two women and the caveat because we're 16 I don't know what it wasn't they were like you can't be naked naked hanging this hat on your dick oh so I was like okay hey you're said than done you 16 year old girls you just made this task much harder so I went into the bathroom and I was trying to get my dick hard why were you naked because I lost some okay it was like every time you say this
Starting point is 01:08:08 word you have to close off or whatever it was you're trying to get hard to hang i'm trying to get hard in the bathroom and then the girl who my white whale she's like i'll help you out she starts moaning from the other side of the door and it made it even harder and i never got a hard dick and i never fucked her because the you think because of that i think because of that yeah you can't even get hard can't even get hard for me plus also you're 16 you should be able to get hard at like a breath but i was so fucking drunk and nervous nervous i never on you i'd never been hard with intention before i'd been i guess hard intention to masturbate but i'd never been hard with intention to use it to show it off to just to just parade it around once you start
Starting point is 01:08:48 thinking hey look what i'm doing with the hat it immediately goes away yeah yeah yeah right because you're not thinking about the hanging hat which is not a sexual thing and then i walked out holding the hat with a soft dick with the sad news to deliver that hey this isn't going to work out guys and i have this awful looking dick right now and then the other woman started puking warm amstella light everywhere the moment i walked at the side of your fucking soft cock just like and dad way to take the heat off you yeah that's why i didn't have sex for three more years i was like never mind i repulse people that was your why well that was your chance that was you could have played it right no i don't know because you were 16 she made it she
Starting point is 01:09:32 was like 19 she was no she was my she was in my grade but she was i was i was young for my grade she was old for our grade so she's probably 17 hours by 16 so you definitely could have yeah oh oh you would have had to play it like get in here and stop saying and then just go but this is not a totally sad story because about 15 years later she came to New York
Starting point is 01:09:52 for a business trip divorced at this point divorced at this point baby oh oh that divorce we play that divorce fucking oh dude I was jacked up oh you know I was like you in high school what had sexual power once you sure did that was and you know what after the market

Starting point is 01:10:58 hear about somebody getting divorced and he would always go he'd just oh hey I just you came up my feed and go you know I always had a thing for you that was his thing And then they go, oh, because they're feeling unattractive. They're like, I'm already in my 30s now. I'm older. And it's like, oh, this guy remembers me when I was a cheerleader. And it reminds me of when I had power and I want that back. So you know, I always had a thing for, even if he didn't.

Starting point is 01:13:32 not obsessed in like a weird way but like I loved her and like I was really all about her um and then and I was like I think because you got kicked out of school oh badass yeah drinking bad badass um if you went back to Spain where would you go are there any things you like wanted to do that you didn't well there's so much I want to do that and I actually know that I I want to do a lot I want to do it again but you know what the son of a bitch is is I I feel like I can't return to Spain until I'm good at Spanish again. So actually last year, I downloaded Duolingo and I was like, I'm going to get back on it. And I actually got good again and then fell off again.
Starting point is 01:14:15 And now I'm like, well, God damn, I got to get back on Duolingo before I go. I got a better one. Dool Lego helps for sure. It gets you like slow, slow, slow. This is what I felt. Slow, slow, nominal gains. Little, you got now have a word. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:15:50 unlimited patience they never get annoyed and then they go that was really good and you're like oh thanks Dude, I've been...
Starting point is 01:16:00 And they go, that's great. You could have also said Sabere for that, but Canosa era is actually really good too. Or they go, actually, you said Sabas, that's a different thing completely. But I get what you were going for. And so they correct you in English, 20 minutes, and it's like you get real... Go ahead. I don't know. No, I've been...
Starting point is 01:16:16 I'm not anti-AI. I'm not like one of those people who are like, it's going to kill humanity, but I just don't see a need for it. I don't use it. This is the first need I saw for it. This is my first need. I go, okay, that works. It's not algorithming you into a certain thing that's not. not like exactly what I want the idea I want you to hit me with like some metal music I'm not
Starting point is 01:16:33 into metal yeah yeah yeah but like I'm open to it if my friend's into it with AI and stuff like you're not going to want that I'm like well I want the options yeah yeah I want my taste to be able to change this is one of those where it's like is that nothing to do with that that one that's that's got my my AI thing had been like um I've used it uh the example my aunt my aunt when cell phones she was like no thanks no thanks she didn't hate cell phones she didn't refuse. I feel like people with AI, people are so on one side of the other. Yeah. And she's like, she didn't think they were going to be the downfall of humanity
Starting point is 01:17:03 but she just didn't, she's like, I don't need it in my life. It's not something I need. 20 years later, she now needs a cell phone. So she's got a cell phone. And she doesn't really use it as we use cell phones, but she's by far my most well-adjusted elderly person in my life. And she's like the best. I'm like, I think I'm going to do
Starting point is 01:17:19 her thing now. Like I got all I need. I'll get to that when I need it. Yeah, the AI thing is like, it might make it easier for me, But also, I don't know what it's going to do to me. Yeah. I don't know what it's like to not get directions from a friend. Everything ideal, like, what's the word where it's like the best way to get something?
Starting point is 01:17:39 It's the best of everything. It's not idealized. It's like, what's the fastest way to get home? What's the best website to use for flights? What I have in my head is as the crow flies. No, no, no, it's not about that. It's like the idea that this is the best thing to do. Optimized.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Optimized. Yeah, okay. So everything's optimized. Sometimes I don't want optimized. Sometimes I want like, I'll see a route this way. I'm like, oh, well, that goes by a national park. Actually, let me get an extra 20 minutes on this five-hour drive and go take a nice drive. I want to see both of them and decide instead of just going, this is the one for you.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Yeah. That makes. I don't know. I just don't know what it's doing. There's, you got to have like an open. And I think this actually kind of ties into traveling as well. Or it's like you can just have an open, nice openness for life. And you're like, I don't know what.
Starting point is 01:18:26 gonna throw at me but i'll fucking bounce with it and i'll roll with it and we'll see how it goes and when you doing all that stuff when everything's optimized and streamlined and like i don't know i'm i'm i feel like i'm missing i'm sure it'll get better and make and make it optimized for you but like or like or like not optimized it's like actually i know you like parks i know you're feeling this way today we should send you by a but i'm i just don't know yeah i'm kind of i don't know and i want to find out and i and a computer's not going to tell me how old do you i'm 36 do you So in high school, everyone has cell phones? Yes, pretty much.
Starting point is 01:18:59 Smart? I got my first, not quite. I was early. I got a cell phone for eighth grade graduation. Flip. Not a flip, but not like a... Not a smartphone. No, yeah, obviously not a smartphone.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Just like it had the keys on the phone. Slide out. Yeah. I was the first. LG Envy? No, it wasn't, it was a Motorola. That envy rule. That envy rule, full keyboard was like, wow.
Starting point is 01:19:19 I never had any cool phones until a blackberry. Okay. But I was early, but by sophomore year, everyone had one. Okay, so then there's like, well, it's going to wrap this episode, but there's nominal changes in our social, whatever. So, like, with no cell phones, it's like, hey, I'll meet you at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the park. If you're going to be 240, we might not be there anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we don't know, you don't know where we are.
Starting point is 01:19:42 And it's like, maybe they went to Avi's house, maybe they went to Tim's house, I'll do the laps and try to find them. But with just pre-smart phones, it's still like, where are you guys? Right. Or I'll call you. Where are you? We're, okay, I'll bypass that, go to that. With, like, the picture phones, there's no, like, moment of peace. No.
Starting point is 01:20:00 And there's good stuff, too, but I'm like, I kind of miss those times at, like, a house party. We're all just hanging out, and none of this is on the record other than rumor. Oh, I heard Finalberg threw up. Oh, really? But there's not evidence of it. Yeah, yeah. So we can get embarrassing. I've very much become like you in, in, you probably,
Starting point is 01:20:22 the pioneer who led the way and I just listened to you talk and I'm like I gotta live more like Ari but I've very much distance myself from that Yeah I'm bet to go with this one and have What is that? It's a light phone
Starting point is 01:20:34 Light phone too there's a three now But it's got like whatever it's got a I'm just gotta call them I don't know how to update my contacts on here But it's got a Maps app And a ride share app I don't quite know how it works But you can find your way around
Starting point is 01:20:49 And then full keyboard like it's like a Kindle No way Hey, so the light phone? Yeah, I like. Is that the text you sent yesterday? Do you send those texts? No, I'm about to get rid of that smartphone, so I want to bring up. If I do get this, I might lose everybody's contacts.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Yeah. So like, I've done it before and I'm like, who is this? For like a year, I'm like, who is this? And then people think I'm ignoring them, but I'm like, I just got a new phone number. Yeah, yeah. I don't want, I did that with like lots of people. This guy fucking hates me now. I'm like, oh, right, you got a new number.
Starting point is 01:21:17 You didn't get any of my text. It's not a crazy thing. It's not a crazy thing, but no one thinks that. They just think this guy's being. a dick to me you said it actually like hi getting a new phone i was like all right i didn't send this text yeah maybe i didn't phrase it right just said it to all my context it's like it's gonna lose it soon um all right well here's what i ask people usually in the pocket was there more about spain that you didn't tell me um no i don't think so and you
Starting point is 01:21:42 didn't brats you hate tapas what about pinches i like pinches i like what's the difference in pinches and tapas i don't fucking know it's like on bread or not on bread? I think yes. I think a topa comes on like those clay plates. You know what I mean? Like the really small ones like that. But I don't know what I'm talking about so. Yeah. This podcast is not about accurate. This pocket is about
Starting point is 01:22:03 just what your experience was. Hold on. Tapas and pinchos. Both Spanish words have different. Tappas are generally smaller portions. Off and served on a plate. Boom, nailed it.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Eat in the utensils. Pinchos are finger food. Wow. Interesting. Okay. Now we know. Now we know. And there's some pictures.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Okay. So what was I going to say? What do we say? You said questions you usually ask? Okay. Two questions. I'll task them both. And you tell me, what country is like calling you?
Starting point is 01:22:42 What place is calling you next? Something new. And then also any travel type you have. Okay. Packed light. Don't be an asshole. put your mushrooms in salad um what what you know anything uh and where's calling you you know travel the tips i don't don't show up to the airport early that's my tip i love it
Starting point is 01:23:05 don't show up i there's no reason to be there an hour before you're flight like now it's a little different i have like clear and shit like that but like i show up i get on my flight i get to the airport and i just walk on my plane i love it i borderline i have a private plane and it's like they just I'm like, but they'll be boarding for 25 more minutes. Yeah. So it's okay. My flight's boarding. I'm like, I know.
Starting point is 01:23:26 It just started boarding. And you have a saved seat. Fucking relax. Relax is my biggest travel tip. Chill out. Can I tell you how I want that? I'm checking you in. You're checking your bag, right?
Starting point is 01:23:37 Or checking it at the airport. I'm the travel agent, you know? Okay. You're like, hey, here's my bag. This is the look I want. If you're me or you're you, I want this, I'm not the traveling. I want this look. So you go, hey, here's my bag.
Starting point is 01:23:50 Here's my bag. Hey, here's my bag. Here's my bag. All right Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh buddy
Starting point is 01:23:56 By the second hand I'll let you in No waste of time You saying I'm checking you in Reminded me Okay This is a
Starting point is 01:24:02 This is a tip And it's a real one Okay Find out what time You're getting to your hotel If you Like what time you land This is particularly
Starting point is 01:24:09 Why Interesting Because if if Europe I hate when I land At like 9 a.m And my hotel Can't take me So it's worth
Starting point is 01:24:19 If you're like me and if you're like when i get there i need a nap yeah book for the night before pay the extra two hundred bucks 300 bucks 500 but whatever the fuck it is pay the extra night and be able to get into a room when you get there seven it's like okay i'll pay it's like when you get there like two and you're like come on yeah i don't want an extra day for this no yeah those those are crazy but there was one i went to um the azores in portugal which are like great place to visit they call it the the hawaii of europe um but it's right it's an easy for four hour flight from the city it's it's crazy from the latitude of philadelphia um and i i got
Starting point is 01:24:58 there same type deal like seven a m what the fuck it was when's the check into the hotel they said can't let you in but go you know go sit outside it's nice so i went and sat by the pool on like a lounge chair i fell asleep i woke up three hours later you're not the guy for that they had put the fucking restaurant around me oh i thought you were going to say you're Unburned. No. So I just woke up. It was just like, like, as close as you are.
Starting point is 01:25:28 Really? There's a family eating. I was like, what the fuck is going on out here? Not how you want to wake up. But I actually, I think I've only done that once. It's something I thought of recently. I think it is so worth having your hotel room ready. So you can put your bag down.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Yeah, for sure. In a shower if you need it. You can tell them too. It's like, hey, I'm going to be landing here. Can you save me a room? Sometimes they can do it. Sometimes it's like, we just don't. And then you're like, all right, get me two nights.
Starting point is 01:25:55 That's the worst. Because when you get, again, particularly Europe, if you're doing a red eye or whatever, and you're like, I have nowhere to go. I've been on a flight for nine hours. And you're so tired and cranky and just like, oh. I'm like so sweaty and gross. At least you take your bag. Yeah, I guess you could do like a delta lounge or something like that.
Starting point is 01:26:10 I don't even know if they have those. And sleep, it's still not going to sleep. No. You want to nap. I want a quick nap. You want a nap for an hour. Brush my teeth, nap, it's fall asleep and then go out. And then I'll wake up.
Starting point is 01:26:21 and then I can give you a full day, but just give me fucking 60 minutes. That's a good travel tip. Thank you. Yeah. But as for what's calling me right now, not, because I want to go on a trip in July. It's just somewhere.
Starting point is 01:26:33 Are you off? No, but we usually take like the week off like for July. And I don't have a ton of time the rest of the year. So I've been being like, I got to go somewhere in July. And this is kind of insane. Because because nothing major is getting me. Burkina Faso?
Starting point is 01:26:50 I was going to say Quebec City. I heard Quebec City is great. It's insane. I've never been. No. But I've heard it's cool. Yeah, I've heard it's really good. I've never heard anything bad about Quebec City.
Starting point is 01:27:00 No, except I think they're a little tough with the languages. The language. Yeah, I think that's a little hard. But also, like, I think it's like what America was for like Spanish people like 20 years ago. Yeah, yeah. But they know you're not from here. So, like, all right, I'm going to all yell at them, but also like. I can't get too worked up about it.
Starting point is 01:27:20 Yeah. Quebec City guy in Montreal I ran into and he was like and we're like oh we don't speak he goes what not I'm like oh we're from America and he goes oh no but still yeah he still you should I'm like I mean I'm what
Starting point is 01:27:34 I'm gonna learn French for the second for half English city a weekend in Quebec City wouldn't even Quebec City was in Montreal oh that's right yeah yeah yeah but Quebec City they get serious that'd be cool though yeah I think my I think let me know how it is I I want to do Europe but they're
Starting point is 01:27:51 also like it just i've you went you went for amsterdam with burton i've done afc i went i actually went back i liked amsterdam so much i went back a month later with my mom my brother oh wow yeah i really take your family places we were supposed to go to uh iceland and i got back and i was like i don't know amsterdam was because before bert the bird trip i had always just thought of amsterdam as the party city i didn't know it was beautiful i didn't know oh it's history and so we went
Starting point is 01:28:16 and i loved it and my mom was like let's just fucking scrap iceland let's go there instead It's so funny They get another travel tip Iceland air and wow Will almost always let you do A multiple day layover On the way to anywhere in Europe Really
Starting point is 01:28:29 You gotta fly over And if you're like landing there Changing planes and going on They go You can make that layover Two hours Or you can make it four days No shit
Starting point is 01:28:38 Same price And that's expensive as fuck To fly to Iceland right Yeah so it's just like They want you like Hey if you're flying right over here Stick around for a bit Just stay spend some money here
Starting point is 01:28:46 Yeah A little other tip But, yeah, everybody in Amsterdam's like, go to the Red Light District. I wonder if Amsterdam was like, guys, we're so much more than that. Dude, I was learning about how, like, they fucking invented the stock market.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Oh, yeah, the Dutch trading company. The East India Trading Company invented the stock market. Also, they used to only drink beer. Because they didn't know potable water. So, like, the kids drank beer all day. Beer saved humanity. The Rites Museum in Amsterdam, very fucking cool. I'm a big museum guy.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Love museums. went to a great modern art one in Amsterdam. Yes, dude, that's where I fell in love with museums. Because I was at, so it wasn't the modern art. You know, they have that museum plaza where there's like five museums, the Van Gogh museums there. Okay. I think the Rijks Museum is close by.
Starting point is 01:29:33 But there was, just their regular art museum. And it made me fall in love with museums, and it made me fall in love with getting a tour. Because I learned so much that I wouldn't have gotten. And it made it so much fun for me. And the, the one
Starting point is 01:29:48 example I are the best example I have is I was in a room about this size all paintings of just a man okay and he's holding the hat and a lot of them you know like the little bowler caps and I just kind of looked around and they were all fine paintings but whatever no big deal and the docent then explained to me that that that it was max bramer I believe his name is it's a German painter and he was a painter in the fourth 40s, and he was invited to a art show for degenerate. A degenerate art show that was put on. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:30 And that was Hitler was putting it on. And Hitler, on top of the Jews and gay people and, you know, everyone, he also gassed anyone he declared as a degenerate. So Max shows up at this event and sees it's all his own fucking art at this degenerate art event and is like well he's gonna kill me so i gotta get the fuck out of here so he goes on the run and then he goes and paints these paintings and the painting in the hats he had like in one it said london and he would paint where he was when he painted it in order to taunt hitler oh like i'm on the run yeah and i was like okay well now these are the greatest pieces of art i've ever seen
Starting point is 01:31:10 in my life now that i know this story these are the coolest fucking things i've ever seen Wow, interesting. Little cute. I love when you're at the Met and there's some docents giving some tour and you just kind of like walk by for just a little bit. You're trying to like,
Starting point is 01:31:27 oh, let me time my shoe. They also have those sometimes, like at the Dalai Museum and St. Pete, those little headphones you can get and then each, every third one has a number and it'll give you a history of that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:41 And you're like, that's really good because it's up to you which one you want to go. I want to find it more about this and you go two four seven and then it gives you a two yeah you just go like all right this spoke to me a little bit what's this deal i don't know i i have a lot of fun with that now not that i do it all the time but when i do it no it is cool to be able to have somebody go like let me tell you about this so you know the context of it yeah like that's so cool like hey what's up yeah yeah dude when i again when i heard that i was like oh never mind this is fuck it get all
Starting point is 01:32:05 clicked for me i was like now i get it this is fucking yeah because before that's like fucking dumb hat, who cares? It's a man. Do you not know? Yeah. Wow, a taunt. Trash talk through a... He taunted the most evil man alive through his art.
Starting point is 01:32:20 That's fucking awesome. Yeah. All right, final bark. That was great. All right. Thank you very much for having me. I don't know. Did a good job.
