Oh, I think you said you got it yesterday.
Yeah, I did.
It went to a Ranger game yesterday.
I put the Rangers.
Subway series before.
That's right.
Time keeps on.
Time keeps on.
Take it into the future.
You always forget that.
I know.
You think it's Doug did it.
And the future keeps coming.
Where you've been and where you're going, this is our race travel show, yeah.
We're going to talk about travel today.
It's U.B. Trippin, yeah.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to U.B. Trippin.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
You stuck it in.
Stuck.
Oh, I don't.
Full fuck.
Conum or no condom?
No condom.
No condom.
Then it counts.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
all right,
all right.
But they were,
they were people who,
if they had children,
they definitely abused them.
Yeah.
I mean,
that, listen,
that's part of it.
Yeah.
That's just part of it.
Wow
Spatula
That's the flat one
Flat one
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
They're fucking children
But like
That's lame
The cigarette thing
100%
It's so lame
But at the time
I was
Dude I was in Chicago
At whatever
At a barstool
And I was doing their
fucking stupid
Fucking whatever challenge
Sports challenge
The gauntlet
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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,
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
so
this is what her phone case
looks like
which is this
here plug this in
um
no not wrong phone
what
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

year you're already in college so it's like people fuck it off so like why don't we do double
semesters of english and math in the first like double classes get that main credit and then go to
israel for like six credits total um so it's not like a waste that's all that's what you're
four months the last you know semester and so yeah we did but it's like drunk like you go to place
where like you can go to bars and you're like oh we don't have responsibility though they didn't get that
in us so like we're throwing up on the streets and like our parents are finding out about it
I was there was one morning I woke up with just bloody knuckles and I was like what the fuck
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Yeah, right?
Live leak.
It was so good.
That, justmeat.com.
Were you a rotten.com?
A little bit.
Bro.
I had a babysitter.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
meat
I thought it was a real thing.
Just meat.
Just Meets.
Maybe Meets spin.
Maybe I'm getting...
Meetsman where it's just like...
I think it's a guy.
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...
like people like no it's a gay video i don't know yeah i mean look it's gay but is it
two gay men i'm not positive on their website only memories remain of the last faces of death
sure damn no it's not i can see you back in the day going nuts with this i went nuts because
i didn't feel any of it i had a way you're just like compartmentalized you don't feel that and then you
get older you're just like i'm letting this in now i just can't do it anymore i'm just feeling it like
you're feeling a connection to it where you're like this I feel bad now yes yes before it's like
it's just some idea of a thing it's not a real person dude my dad used to like when I was younger
watching movies or TV shows my dad would get squeamish at stuff and I'd be like you're such
a pussy like it's just blood whatever I'm getting there now where I'm like ugh I don't really
want to see that yeah gross dude yeah and she's like special effects it's like yeah I don't know
what it is anyway so I could see bullfighting me the same way yeah that one
That one was not fun.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
not for good though you're just for a while after we had sex she rolled over she went why did we
wait so long to do that and i went i've been trying for 15 years god damn it could have been
like c cc wow congratulations thanks that was a big one that was a big one legitimately happy for
yeah i was i'm legitimately happy it was i had a friend used to go out on
Facebook and find you know it's like there's like an age where everyone in your class starts
getting married you know yeah yeah of course it's like I don't know 24 to 29
whatever that range is it just starts happening and then like uh 27 to 30s whatever it is but
then the divorces come three to six years after that um but then he'd like reach out you
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.
No way.
I always had a thing for you in high school.
What?
I didn't know that because it's a lie.
That's why.
Because I'm duping you.
Yeah, he's fuck everybody in his class.
That's really fucking smart.
Yeah.
Congratulations on this white whale.
Thanks.
She came on a business ship to fuck
Or it was just like
I want to hang
I don't know
I know she's remarried
So we don't talk anymore
Yeah great
But it was a great little window there
At your place you fucked
No her hotel
Yeah
God damn
Nice
What would you do
Fuck
Yeah okay great
I mean that's just great
What would you do
No
I was gonna change your dog
But I realized
I should stay on this
what's the longest you've ever had
wanting somebody
yeah pine for a woman
more man
this girl Sarah from my college
that we just always
I had a girlfriend when she was single
she had a boyfriend when I was single
just never quite worked out
and then it's done now
but it's always like a thing
and in fact I was
she was in the crowd
the Denver comedy works
and I kept looking at her
I was really thrown off my game
and then the show in it
I was like thank you good night
and then I went out there
I was like I waited like
a minute because she was like in like a row so she couldn't get out yeah yeah and then I kind of
waited I was like hey Sarah she goes what I'm like just looked like her oh wasn't her yeah so much
that it was like oh my god yeah and then I was just like what a bad show I put on because I kept
looking at her and getting nervous like it had to be good for this is it someone you have you
consummated nope no and never will yeah maybe when we're 80 yeah yeah there's one chick from high
school and I did and it was like it was bad it was like but also I grew up in a religious
school where I'm like no one's no one's like educated on sex there yeah so that I'm like I'm
I'm the one who has a tea I don't want some fucking virginy person like I learned don't live
league yeah put your legs somewhere I just sit there yeah don't just sit there I yeah I mean
it is nice when you get one when you've been wanting something for a while
honestly it's probably my only one where it was just like I was obsessed with this girl
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.
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.
Little things like, okay, conjunction words.
Like I can use that for lots of sentences.
you know like like words like do you know yes so i could like do you know where the bathroom is
do you know uh where the do you know how to get to do you know yeah yeah and so nice and so then
it's like um canosis no that's to meet no it's connocer connocer is to know right i thought it's saber
sa bear is to know so tu tzabes i don't know yeah but anyway there's certain words you can use
a lot means no too whatever we don't we don't have to no we do
you know
bam bam
oh okay
and then verb
sabre connocer
so sabre is part of that
pensor
anyway
it gets you a few words
but talking
then you're fucking
then it's like zooms
within two days
you're great
what's the thing
what the tip
yeah
my friend Dragos said this
so we started
dueling around the same time
and it was like this
and I just saw him
it's only been two years
he's there
he said a little bit he's Romanian
so he already has a basis in it
because he's Roman
whatever
to love languages or whatever
chat GBT
20 minutes
he goes speak to me
I'll speak to you in Spanish
when I'm wrong
correct me in English
and so you just say
how was your day
would you do yesterday
he has his coffee
he speaks to him 10 or 20 minutes
so it's not like a thing
unlimited
patience
they never get annoyed
and then they go
that was really good
and you're like oh
thanks
Dude, I've been...
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...
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Eat in the utensils.
Pinchos are finger food.
Wow.
Interesting.
Okay.
Now we know.
Now we know.
And there's some pictures.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
Here's my bag.
Hey, here's my bag.
Here's my bag.
All right
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh buddy
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
No, it was great.
Make sure to check out KFC every week and I'll say all this and later when I put stuff in.
But like, what's your sketch stuff?
Out of order.

kind of following us it's kind of like the two things we've kind of been using it's like kind
of like entourage if if viny never existed and mixed with sunny i would guess they're
the two closest.
I love the feel of always something.
It's like, it's like, not picky blinders,
peep show, it's like that same feel
of like ridiculous overboard.
Way over the top.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
It's way over the top.
A lot of yelling.
That's great.
Kevin's always like,
he should commit more to these sketches
and like acting stuff.
