Oh, that's not bad. See, that's all I got, too.
Wait, how long?

Speaker 1 So, this is what we're going to do: Spain, España, Spain, the mother country, Madrid. Yeah.
Madrid? Madrid. Where'd you go? When was this?

Speaker 1 20. I think this is the coolest thing about it.
2013 and 14? Damn. After college.
Yeah. No, after college.
I was selling cars. I got out of college.
I was selling cars.

Speaker 1 I used to be a gay man. I used to read books constantly.
Yeah. And I got really, really into Ernest Hemingway.
And I was like, I should live in Spain.

Speaker 1 Really? To go in his footsteps? Kind of, yeah. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.
I was like 23.

Speaker 1 Here's the problem. It does rule, but it is also gay.
It was gay. Yeah.
I wish I still had that part of me. That could just suck up the gay and go? It did.

Speaker 1 I used to think I was like smart.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I wish I still had that. What's your favorite Hemingway?

Speaker 1 It was For Whom the Bell Tolls. Yeah.
Was

Speaker 1 number one. I like the Nick Adams stories.
I don't know those. It's just short stories about him pretty much himself.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 I just tried to read Farewell to Arms again. How was it? Trash.
Really? No, it's good until they. It becomes, it's too much of a love story.

Speaker 1 I like the beginning when he's in the military. It's very fun.
What's the one where he's holding a baby up in a cave and somebody takes a random shot and kills the baby?

Speaker 1 Somebody, it's a crying, but they thought it was an animal, and somebody camping was like, shut that fucking baby. I don't know.

Speaker 1 He has a lot of Michigan short stories. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know any of those. Yeah.
You're nicely shaded here in the fucking. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. You guys hate the shade.

Speaker 1 I love a well-lit podcast studio. It's very conducive to

Speaker 1 this is not because we turned the spotlight off that was

Speaker 1 a dark red face. Yeah.
The Russian episode won't get that spotlight on you.

Speaker 1 Sit him in a chair, handcuff him, do a metal chair. So you went there just like, fuck it.
I'm going to sell.

Speaker 1 I was selling cars and I sucked at some. I literally just sat at my desk and read.
I read books all day. Yeah.
That's all I did. And then uh

Speaker 1 i found out there was a teaching program where you could just go you did all you had to do was speak english whoa like they didn't care if you spoke any spanish they want it was an immersive program because spain back then at least felt very inadequate because they were the only ones that in europe that sucked at english everybody else in europe was getting very good at english except spain so the government there started a program of like just fucking come over here and talk just speak english and so wait free or do they pay you or

Speaker 1 you have to pay they pay you whoa, yeah, I remember they offered that in college, but it was like you got to pay like a thousand a month to go there and teach English in China. I'm like, I gotta pay?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that sounds like hell.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 you can pay me to go

Speaker 1 But yeah, then I signed up and I got it. It was sick.
Where'd you even hear about it?

Speaker 1 An ex-girlfriend. Wow.
And she did it too. Sick, can you go far away from me? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I run into you too much now. Yeah.
I got this great program. She did it too? Yeah.
Were you guys doing it then? We didn't see each other once. She was in a different part.
I got Madrid.

Speaker 1 I got lucky. Oh, they assign you like

Speaker 1 Book of Mormon? Yeah. Yeah, I got Madame.
Legendo. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was wonderful.

Speaker 1 You know, you can sneak into the second part of that. Oh, yeah.
They all come out on your mission. Yeah.
They don't really check your wristband or anything.

Speaker 1 For sure. I never thought of that.
You can sneak into any play. Pretty much any halftime.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No one leaves at halftime, though, so you got to wait by the bathroom until you see what seats are not taken and then go in there and hope somebody says, You have you done this here the first time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I did it once. I would yell.
Yeah. I'd say, get this Jewish man out of here.
He tunneled his way into the show.

Speaker 1 They would all stop, like when Pence is at the play, like, is that true about the Jewish man?

Speaker 1 Stop the play, break the fourth wall. Or they do it in character.
Yeah. Sir.

Speaker 1 The Africans come out and taunt you yeah the whole lion kid comes down and lays you out in a bucket with an elephant so you go there were you like did you have any money uh i had a little money from selling cars yeah um but i i blew it all i lost all of it in spain yeah yeah i thought how did you where'd you stay where they what'd you do all right so uh we can go from the start i got there yeah i

Speaker 1 never contacted the school I was supposed to teach at.

Speaker 1 What? I never talked to them once.

Speaker 1 They didn't know I was coming. See, this is all like the government's program that just assigned you to a school.
The school had no idea. So I get there.

Speaker 1 I fly from New York, land in Madrid. I realize I don't speak fucking Spanish nearly as well as I thought I did.
I got off the plane. I got in a taxi.
I was like, I had nowhere to stay.

Speaker 1 I didn't have a place to stay. How old are you at this point? 24.
I love the stupidity of a school. I don't care.
I know what.

Speaker 1 No, I was just like, I'm like Hemingway. I'm on an adventure.
Dude.

Speaker 1 Hemingway cried. I cried the whole time.
I wonder if Hemingway cried. We got to the new place where he found lodging.
It sucks. It's raining.
It sucked ass, dude. And

Speaker 1 I got there. All I could do, I knew hotel.
Yeah. I was like, that's definitely, I can say hotel.
Yeah. So I got in a cab and I was like, hotel.
And he was like, come on.

Speaker 1 I was like, because even that sounded fucking crazy to him. Hotel? Yeah, because the way I was just in the car going, hotel, please.
You guys do an American Capital hotel.

Speaker 1 I'm like, yeah, there's many. Yeah, and he was like, where? What are you talking about? I was like,

Speaker 1 no me importa. Nezitao hotel.

Speaker 1 Get out, beat it, get out. No, he took me to a hotel.
He took me to a hotel. It was kind of expensive.

Speaker 1 So I stayed there for two days, and then I found a hostel. That's the case.
And I stayed in a hostel for way too long. How are you in hostels? I'm awful.
I hated it. Really? I was furious.

Speaker 1 I hated the hostel. For such a man of the people, you're a prissy pants.
I'm not prissy.

Speaker 1 I'm just embarrassed of what I don't feel like being naked in front of a bunch of hot rugby Australian players, which is who I was rooming with. These two fucking hunk brothers.
Really?

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then they'd go talk to girls and be like, these girls are all, they're all superficial over here. They only like you guys for your looks.
They don't know how cool I am.

Speaker 1 Shut another real middle. You're crying.

Speaker 1 I'm a bad person. Yeah, so I was stuck in this hostel, and then I would try to call the school.
No one in the school spoke English. In Madrid? Yeah, in the north of Madrid.

Speaker 1 The school was in a place called El Bion. El, yeah.
El what? El Bion. El V E L L O N.

Speaker 1 El Bion. What does that mean? I have fucking no idea.
Place? Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it's a small fucking village. If you type in El Bill.
So it's not in Madrid? No. El E-L-V- Two words.
V-E-L-L-O-N.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So you can see this tiny-ass town I lived in.
Oh, cool. Well, how far from Madrid?

Speaker 1 Like 30 minutes north. It's just a small town in the mountains.
And you're at this point, you're there or you're in Madrid? I'm in Madrid. Okay.

Speaker 1 And I'm calling this school because I have no idea where the fuck this school is. And I call them every day and none of us can communicate at all.
Is that all there? Do you remember this? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the town square right there. And there's a stork nest up there.
And there's always a stork nest. A what?

Speaker 1 In Spain, they have all their churches have

Speaker 1 stork nests from Africa.

Speaker 1 But they stole the stork nests? No.

Speaker 1 So I kept calling them. They have no idea how to communicate with me every day.
They'd be like, our English teacher or the person who can speak some English will be here next week.

Speaker 1 I'd be like, all right, I'll just live in this hostel for a month. What? It was terrible.
The person who speaks some English will be here later. And then they suck.

Speaker 1 Would you get somebody to translate for you to call? Or you'd be like, no, I would just sit there.

Speaker 1 Oh, and I didn't have a phone that worked there. Oh, that's his pre, pre-yeah.

I was like, okay. So I take my iPhone out.

Speaker 1 He puts cocaine on it, which I thought was cocaine. I have no idea what it was.
Yeah. He did a line.
I did a line. And then he was putting it back on.
He goes, police.

Speaker 1 And we both run in different directions. I get a block down the street and I'm just like,

Speaker 1 fuck, that guy just stole my phone. No, totally just has my phone.
What a ruler. Yeah, it was good.
What a fucking night. Not a shame.
I had no idea where I was. I was relying on the maps.
Police, go.

Speaker 1 And you're like, okay, thanks, man.

Speaker 1 But then I was lost in the city for like four hours trying to find my hostel. I couldn't ask for directions.
Oh, that sucks. And I'm shit face.

Speaker 1 That guy killed me. Was the Coke okay? No.
I don't even think it was cocaine. I didn't do cocaine back.
I had no idea what it was like. You just were going to try it? Yeah,

Speaker 1 I was Hemingway, bro.

Speaker 1 I was just out there on a little gay adventure.

Speaker 1 Did he live in Madrid or Barcelona? What's that? Did he live in Madrid or Barcelona or all over? Hemingway was Madrid. Okay.
Yeah. It's pretty sick.
You can go on a bar crawl there

Speaker 1 In Madrid, yeah. Yeah.
There's a bunch of like pictures of him at the bars where he would sit. No, we're not.
Ernesto. Not a big deal.
It's fun.

Speaker 1 Ernesto. Let me say it.

Speaker 1 It is cool to sit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've been to this. Is this in.

Speaker 1 He also hung out in Barcelona. Probably.
Barcelona, Hemiway, absent. Yeah, I went there.
It's cool because all the ones, I don't know how the ones you went, but it wasn't like big plaques of him.

Speaker 1 No, it was just a little picture in the corner of a bar. It'd be like if, like,

Speaker 1 Cerveza Ria Alemania. That was it? You went there? Yep.
Oh, there is a big fucking statue of him. That does make it lamer.

Speaker 1 No, the one to the right, I don't think that was, although it did have checkered floors. Yeah, that was it.
I think there's a little picture in the window. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 I sat in that window on the right. Wow.
I haven't seen that in forever. If they had this for you,

Speaker 1 it wouldn't be plaques. It would just be like, here's Patty's.

Speaker 1 There used to be a comedy club next door, so he would go over here a lot. Yeah, he would scream at us.
What was his booth? Like, well, it doesn't work that way in New York. It's just windows open.

Speaker 1 you don't just get a booth he would scream at us yeah

Speaker 1 he was a real problem yeah he would drink

Speaker 1 he would bomb and then come bother us

Speaker 1 although i'm sure hemingway was a fucking nightmare can you imagine just being a hard ass all the time drinking

Speaker 1 like like no i'll box anyone here yeah no one reports on if he actually was didn't he try to box like an actual fighter He was like, I'll fight you. And the guy was like, Hemingway had no quid in him.

Speaker 1 So I had to probably beat him down. He thought he was like he I think he boxed some of his wives I could be wrong on that

Speaker 1 damn there he is

Speaker 1 always

Speaker 1 Key West rules yeah it does

Speaker 1 it's weird because he's just a writer so he shouldn't be like a manly man yeah he's a writer he you know he was in the army a little yeah

Speaker 1 not the army he was driving an ambulance but driving

Speaker 1 yeah he ruled he did rule i didn't go to any of the i read uh the The Sun Also Rises. That was also a big Spain one.

Speaker 1 And it was big into bullfighting, and I didn't have the strength to go. You didn't go to bullfights? No.
Ah. I know.

Speaker 1 I agree. That was my thought.
Aw.

Speaker 1 So, okay, so you're back at this fucking hostel. You still don't have your goddamn

Speaker 1 how to get to where you're going.

Speaker 1 Shit sucks. I got to stay awake to watch Notre Dame till fucking 4 a.m.
I'm just on a shitty laptop at 4.

Speaker 1 I had water. What did you eat? Did you get involved?

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, that was the first time. I never had fucking like kebab.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. I never, we never, I'm from Mechanicsburg.
I never ate like a you went straight to Spain to get some fucking Middle Eastern food. They got a lot of Arabs there.
They do. And that shit was

Speaker 1 incredible. But they moors are there.
Yeah, wow. But no, then I was, you know, they give you a fucking little plate of shitty food with every beer.

Speaker 1 So. Oh, the top of it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got big into hamon, bro.

Speaker 1 I ate ham every single day.

Speaker 1 I thought

Speaker 1 how is not everybody fat there?

Speaker 1 There's no vegetables. They

Speaker 1 they were they were pretty health oriented a little when it comes to like

Speaker 1 they would see me like binge drinking and eating ham every day and like the teachers at the school had to have like a meeting and they're like you need to stop eating ham. All you're eating is ham.

Speaker 1 We've noticed all you eat is the fucking ham. I'm like, dude, the ham so good.
It's so good.

Speaker 1 You ever see those big hawks of it? Yeah, they have

Speaker 1 every single bar. Every bar has one of those.
What do you mean? They have the biggest

Speaker 1 hair. Every bar had a leg on the side of the bar.
And, well, they would give you random food. Yeah.
And every time I'd order a beer, I'd be like, come on, ham, ham, ham, this time, ham, this time.

Speaker 1 Wheel of the hair. So they'd give you like prawns, like full fucking prawns.
I'd be like, I'm not eating that. Pull up one of those fucking big ham owls.
Or olives, just a bowl of olives.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those are good, though. I don't like olives.
Yeah. It would get me into them there.

Speaker 1 Ham hock.

Speaker 1 You spell hawk, but yeah, there you go. Come on.

Speaker 1 Like one of those. There's a museum of ham.

Speaker 1 I was spending

Speaker 1 time there. I heard those are like, like, you can buy one of those for like hella money.
I would like to purchase one of those.

Speaker 1 I'll eat it in a day. Have it cured and just cut.
I'll eat it in a day. It'd be sick.

Speaker 1 It actually fucked me up.

Speaker 1 What do you mean, actually? No, I mean like

Speaker 1 as if that wasn't going to fuck you up.

Speaker 1 It was so much salt.

Speaker 1 It actually had kale in it. It didn't do me right.
That's how you're saying that. It was so much salt that like my tongue cracked.
Really?

Speaker 1 I've never talked about any of these. It was very funny.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. Really? You just kept eating cured salted ham.
All I would do. Dude,

Speaker 1 I thought I'd be cultured. Cultured? Yeah.
I literally went to the same bar in my town every single day. I spent all the money I had on sitting in one bar.
What was the bar? Do you remember it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Leuberstar. L-O-Y-B-E-R-S-T-A-R.

Speaker 1 That's in that small town? No, it's in...

Speaker 1 Sorry, Madrid. It's in San Sebastian, Alcobendos.

Speaker 1 Wow. Hold on.
It's not in Madrid. Type in Alcabendos.
A-L-C-O-B-E-N-D-A-S. Dude, I got back from, I got an Airbnb in in

Speaker 1 wherever, Melbourne, and they were like, the recommendations were like, try the local, meaning like the local bar. And they're such fun hangs.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just like a no-frills, just like people from the neighborhood come eat here and then drink.

Speaker 1 Let me see. Is that it? I want to see you remember this place.
I definitely. I've looked it up all the time.
Really? You missed it? Get a space in Loiberstar.

Speaker 1 Get a fucking space. AR space now.

Speaker 1 God damn it.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Wow. You remember it? Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh, the potatoes. That was a good.
What was that? That was one of the good dishes. That was the potatoes.
You get that with the brewski.

Speaker 1 Wait, they just give you a random food? Yeah, they just get for you. So, like, like beer and a slice, but they'd be like, beer and something.
Beer and something.

Speaker 1 That was it. I was in there.
I can just see young Shane. Bro.
Young Shane just going, I'm on.

Speaker 1 Come on, one time. One time.
Necessito, Jamon. Patata.
She's like, all right. All right.
Artatos are good. B plus, B plus.

Speaker 1 Could have been worse. What was the worst one they would give you? I hated the prawns.
The prawns. Just a full fucking dead shrimp.
Could you change it with anybody?

Speaker 1 Like, hey, dude, I noticed you got the prawns that you had it last time.

Speaker 1 I was so bad at Spanish. Although, I would get drunk and try to.
Olamigo. I would deliver them powerful speeches.

Speaker 1 I would get drunk and try to deliver like an impassioned

Speaker 1 Spain rules, fuck Barcelona, fuck Catalonia.

Speaker 1 Fuck Catalans.

Speaker 1 And I remember thinking.

Speaker 1 I remember thinking them being like, damn, this guy's good. And then the next day I came back for a beer and they were like, oh, no, no, no.
They're impersonating me. I was like, fuck, dude.

Speaker 1 I thought I was killing. No, it's not like that.
Like, oh, yeah, we're impersonating someone else then.

Speaker 1 Dude, booze lets you fucking practice. Yeah.
Booze really lets you get good.

Speaker 1 if I drink a beer. I'm like, I'm definitely fluent.
Yeah, but the way it helps you like hit on a chick.

Speaker 1 It's at least a hot. Then it also helps you like, yo, amigos, tienes.

Speaker 1 Complete confidence. Yeah.
That's what you need to speak a language. But so anyway, I'm in the fucking hostel.

Speaker 1 I finally get a hold of the school. They're like, okay, we can find you a house.
And I was like, oh, sick. Again, I wanted to be

Speaker 1 Hemingway-ish.

Speaker 1 So I was like, I'm not going to live in Madrid. This is where all the fucking gringos are.
I want to live up in the mountains in El Bion. So they got me a place in El Bion.
It was a.

Speaker 1 They were going to get your house in Madrid and have you commute? Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 hey, that's bold. San Sebastian.
It's go away from the big city. And Al Cabendos is in the north of Madrid.
So it's not that far of a commute. But they got me a spot in El Bion, and it was,

Speaker 1 dude, if I opened my front door, it was like a dirt road and a rock fence and sheep.

Speaker 1 It was, dude, I was in the

Speaker 1 hills by myself awesome no

Speaker 1 you don't want to live here i'm thinking of coming you don't want to live here being there for a week no yeah i was there for six months but i got out of there they found me a new place in the city what's that movie where the guy cuts his finger off to avoid hanging out with that dude

Speaker 1 banshees of inisharan that seems like a place like for real it was which it sounded nice because then i thought i could just walk to like the local the bar there sucked.

Speaker 1 Oh, really? It was right next to that church. It was in that town square.

Speaker 1 I hated that movie still fucking much. God, it sucked.
I was disappointed in that movie because I thought it was going to be in Bruges again. Yeah, it's just good scenery.

Speaker 1 God, that guy must have sucked so bad. Like, I'll cut my fucking finger off instead of hanging out with you.
Just tell him, no. I'm busy, bro.
I don't have to cut my finger off to make the point.

Speaker 1 Wait, so you hung out at bars there? The bar? There was one bar. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I was there.

Speaker 1 I lived in that house for like three days and then i went back to school and i was like i need to live somewhere else and one of the teachers was like uh this older lady that would drive me to and from school every day she was the best and she was like my my mom has a house that you guys can you can rent so then i lived in this

Speaker 1 house with like two argentinian dudes argentine argentinian argentin argentine i think it's both

Speaker 1 yeah um

Speaker 1 which they didn't like me but that's fine really no Argentinian. That's the kind that

Speaker 1 Tom is.

Speaker 1 Is he? I think so. Chilean?

Speaker 1 He wants to be Argentinian. He pronounces the THs because he wants to be special, but he's not.
He's not special. He's faking it.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's a Listo guy, and he's trying to be a valley guy.

Speaker 1 Do you like Argentina? Never been. Yeah, you better not.

Speaker 1 I'm going. I think some of your former enemies live down there.
Oh, yeah. I got to visit them.
I got to hash it out. We got to hash it out.
We got to hash it out. Guys, let's just talk this out.

Speaker 1 You keep avoiding it, but let's just talk it out.

Speaker 1 Wait, so then what? Oh, then I lived in, yeah, I lived in San Sebastian. So then they took you to some other place? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was nice. I wonder if they're just like, this fucking American guy, we told him not to be able to do that.
Kind of, because then they also didn't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 They didn't know I was even going to be there, so they didn't know what to do with me. At the same time.
Did they have classes for you to teach? No. They would have to have given

Speaker 1 to follow. I would literally have to go into class and only speak English.
So just go into a classroom and be like, hello, how are you? And

Speaker 1 this is an elementary school. These kids couldn't speak fucking Spanish.
They couldn't speak what? Very little kids.

Speaker 1 They're never going to pick up on English. They're like, you just got to catch up.
Yeah. And I don't know how to get you there.
None of the teachers could speak English. It was.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 But every day at recess, I got to go out there and fucking play soccer with them. Yeah.
Obviously, I sucked at soccer, but I was the goalie dominated.

Speaker 1 I could throw it to the other net. And they'd be like, ah,

Speaker 1 you play football with a kid? He'd like, just go, like, this is about, dude, it's 10 yards as far as anyone can throw. Like, throw more than 10.
Yeah. Like, no way.
I'm about to throw 15.

Speaker 1 Blow your fucking mind. It was funny to watch the kids play soccer because they played like European soccer.
Like, they acted like they were playing. One of the kids was a ref.

Speaker 1 One of the kids had a yellow card and a red card.

Speaker 1 And they would get fouled and like lay on the ground and roll. Or they'd argue with the ref, and the ref would be like, a kid ref.
Yeah. It was great.

Speaker 1 How good good are fucking europeans at soccer they're pretty good every kid can just corner one yeah it was pretty awesome it was a wonderful time i miss it hi guys

Speaker 1 I just met a girl before I left that I was like obsessed with. Shane, I hope you're not going to fucking

Speaker 1 love this story. Hear me out on this.

Speaker 1 I love her boy, dude.

Speaker 1 I was obsessed with this girl. So then I get to Spain.
I want to leave right away. Like I fucked up because you miss her so much? I missed her that I was so, dude, I'm trying to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 You think I'm proud of that? I appreciate your honesty. I'm being honest.
I appreciate your honesty. And I had already started.
I was disappointed as a human, but I appreciate the honesty.

Speaker 1 I already had started stand-up,

Speaker 1 so that was another thing I missed. Yeah.
Because I would go to the bar and then I'd come home and get on Facebook or whatever. Why didn't you just go to Michelle Wolf? And I'd see all the.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was no comedy there.

Speaker 1 I would go home and look at Facebook, and the pictures would be local comics in Harrisburg that got to host at the Harrisburg Comedy Zone. And I'd be like, those motherfuckers, they suck.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But the girl, I was obsessed with this girl, And

Speaker 1 I wanted to go home right away. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Had you already banged? Yes. Okay.
And it was very nice. Did you tell her you loved her? Yes.
I was obsessed with this girl. Did she.

Speaker 1 She was obsessed.

Speaker 1 We were gay.

Speaker 1 Was she like, why are you going?

Speaker 1 When we met, it had already been planned. I'm a heavyway lady.
I can't have it. I said, baby, I'm a rolling stone.
And then I was like, I love you. I wish I didn't come here.

Speaker 1 So, like,

Speaker 1 dude, stuck in the hostel, I was, you know, I missed her a lot. But then I got,

Speaker 1 I loved Spain. Question.
Yeah. Where'd you jerk off in the hostel? Bed or shower?

Speaker 1 Bed. I'd wait till the hot Australians were gone.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. Go ahead.
So you loved Spain.

Speaker 1 But then after like a month, I got used to it and I started to really love Spain. And then I fell in love with one of the teachers that I worked with.

Speaker 1 Does she speak any English? No.

Speaker 1 Barely.

Speaker 1 It's his heavyweight-ish. So I was obsessed with her.

Speaker 1 I mean, I wasn't obsessed with her. We never did anything.
Never once.

Speaker 1 We never even told each other we were... Like, we would hang out.
Cute? Yeah, she was cute. Okay, can you Google that cute chick

Speaker 1 in Madrid that Shane liked and see what comes up?

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I was very, very faithful to the girl back home. So I never did anything or tried anything.
But I was like,

Speaker 1 I was obsessed with this lady.

Speaker 1 I was like, she's so fucking hot every day.

Speaker 1 I didn't know she had feelings for me

Speaker 1 until the day I left. She did? When I went to leave, I was saying goodbye to everybody.
She started sobbing.

Speaker 1 And I was like, oh, we could have been in love. I'll stay.
I'll stay.

Speaker 1 She liked you? Did you connect in any way? You must have learned some Spanish. No, yeah, I did learn Spanish.
And she was working on her English, which was fun to drink and try to talk to each other.

Speaker 1 You booze? Yeah. You didn't try anything?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I regret it. Hey, what are the YouTube rules now about psych if you're calling your friend that?

Speaker 1 I don't think they love it. Okay.
Delete it.

Speaker 1 Bleep all those.

Speaker 1 No, I just, yeah,

Speaker 1 I blew it. Oh, that sucks.
How old were you? 24. 24.
I know that age, bro. I turned 25 and 40.
And you're just like, you feel a tingling and you're like, I think, no, I can't try it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you don't even know until way later. Like, if you just tried, she's like, no, I'd be like, oh, no big deal.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And it was also like,

Speaker 1 dude, it was the best. I'd get to go to her.
Like, whenever I knew I was teaching the fifth grade class, that was her class. I'd be like, oh, yes.
What do you mean? You would go in?

Speaker 1 So I'd go to classroom to classroom when I was teaching. You know, they would just, and there was no plan at all.
They would just be like, oh, sure, change here. And I would come in and be like, job.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Tenemos una maestro nuevo.

Speaker 1 And I'd come in and I'd be like,

Speaker 1 Qui pasa gaiesto, switching that up. They'd all be like, how do you say my name in English? That was, they loved it.
Would they love that? Yeah. Yeah.
Jaime, you're like, Jamie.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Juan. I'd be like, John.
They'd be like, oh.

Speaker 1 But yeah, then when I would get to teach in her classroom, it was very, it was very nice. I was walking in, we'd lock eyes.
I'd be like, I'm pretty sure she loves me. How old is she?

Speaker 1 She was probably 28. Damn.

Speaker 1 dude i feel really bad for you that's okay

Speaker 1 i mean you'd have life you know recovered but like

Speaker 1 no she was i'm just hearing about it now though so i'm i'm

Speaker 1 dude i loved her damn yeah you would have been so much of a better person if you just stayed with her

Speaker 1 the fuck

Speaker 1 Why? You're a terrible person. What? You're a shitty person.
I also wasn't with her.

Speaker 1 That's the other problem. She would have changed both of us.

Speaker 1 She was a devout catholic she was oh she was a dream dude do you have a picture of her yeah do you really i can find it oh don't post it but show me

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 1 damn

Speaker 1 wait you can see it hold on i don't have uh i don't have any internet oh i can dude do you need are you out of money do you need megabytes i don't have any internet megabytes i'll show you after you're are you out of minutes she's a sweet angel

Speaker 1 fuck i don't want to go home yeah right yeah

Speaker 1 and that but it was it was truly the stand-up that made me go home really want to go home and what is it about once you get there there's a certain amount of time where you're like i'm free now yeah like i'm not away from home i'm here and i also discovered that i wasn't the cultured guy that I thought I was.

Speaker 1 What do you mean? Which was nice to figure out. Like, I would go to the fucking museums and shit by myself.
I'd like tried to be that guy.

Speaker 1 Then I'd just go there and think about no dames playing Oklahoma this week. I'd stare at a beautiful painting and just be like, No Dame's defense sucks.

Speaker 1 That's who I am, dude. I'm not another person.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Big Catholic town, though. Yeah, Madrid's Catholic.
Fascist, too, dude. What do you mean?

Speaker 1 They had Franco for a while. So they had Franco into like the 70s.
So there were dudes that would be at the bar with me that were like, fascism's good. I'd be like, yo, no slay.

Speaker 1 No upload. I was at a bar.
I was at Leuberstar. I don't mean to throw Leuberstar on the bus, but there were these two dudes.
They weren't regulars, so not putting that on Leuber. Okay.

Speaker 1 This guy, I'm sitting next to this guy at the bar, and he's like, check this out.

Speaker 1 And it was his shitty, like, pixelated Nokia phone, and on it was him throwing a Nazi salute with a burning swastika behind him. And I was like, BN,

Speaker 1 okay, BN.

Speaker 1 And then the waiter, the waiter, the bartender came by, and I was like,

Speaker 1 bro, fascistas. Fascistas aqui.
And he was like,

Speaker 1 they're just fucking around. I was like, that didn't seem like a joke.
He had a big

Speaker 1 burning swash. It's a photoshop.
Like,

Speaker 1 damn.

Speaker 1 Damn. Yeah, Spain's awesome.
I can't wait to go back.

Speaker 1 I love the

Speaker 1 fascism. Yeah.
Was it Catalan? What was it? Madrid? Catalonians. No, no, Catalan.
That's

Speaker 1 Barcelona. Yeah.
I love all the

Speaker 1 Catalan flags hanging everywhere. I'm like, they're just doing that? The Spanish Civil War is pretty sick.
It's cool to look into. Franco, bro.
Underrated in terms of the fucking... Yeah.

Speaker 1 Load up the plane and just empty them.

Speaker 1 Beautiful right there. Yeah, he would fly from here and then just fly out and then do a little dump and then turn back around.
I didn't know that. Empty plane.
I didn't know he was doing that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's one way. Yeah, you know that like that thing that opens like this? Yeah.
The cargo plane? He's just tossing dudes out? Tossing dudes. Fuck.
By like the the hundreds. He must have enjoyed that.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 there's so many easier ways to kill 100 people.

Speaker 1 He must have been like, this is a fun day.

Speaker 1 I think he wanted no bodies. So he's like, dump into the sharks.
I mean, he was a get way out. He was a fascist.
He was a dictator. He could kind of

Speaker 1 have buried them.

Speaker 1 Spanish airlift of 1936. Oh, is it real? Yes, during the war.
Damn, I was right. Every memory I have, I'm like, it might be wrong.
For sure.

Speaker 1 Putting all those people in there and just be like, nah. You know, he outlawed, he said he outlawed their language.

Speaker 1 What? And he goes, we got to have one language. So you can't, if you speak it, you're fucked.
And he goes, in a generation, it will be dead.

Speaker 1 And he didn't understand that people were going to be like, no, we're going to teach to our kids quietly. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then, like, that's what's, that's what my, that was kind of like my favorite thing. I would go to soccer games all the time by myself.
It was great.

Speaker 1 But that's what I liked about Spanish soccer is like, Real Madrid is like the royal, the white, the fascist team. Barcelona is like the communist anarchist team.
Guess which team I liked, bro?

Speaker 1 Come on, man.

Speaker 1 Real Madrid? No, I like the Atletico Madrid. I like the shitty, like basically the Mets to the Yankees.
You ever see that?

Speaker 1 You like Barca? No, dude, that's not what that is. What? It's the Ecuadorian team, and they're so obsessed with Barcelona.
Oh, they copied Barcelona. 100% copied Barcelona.

Speaker 1 They just have a local beer sponsor.

Speaker 1 It's nuts. That's pretty awful.
It says Barcelona. Yeah, yeah.
They didn't even take that off. Yeah, they kept the logo.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You would go to soccer games. That's fucking.
I would go to Athletico. I was at, so the year I was there was the year Athletico Madrid won La Liga.
So they were like, it was just a magical season.

Speaker 1 It was great. And I would go buy myself.
How much were games? Cheap as fuck. It was like 20 bucks.
Wow. Oh, I had a British friend.
I forgot about this guy.

Speaker 1 He was the fucking man. He hung out at Louis Briss Star, too.
He might have been good. He was a great friends.
Oh, yeah. He might have been.
He was just an old, he was an old man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he was the man. We would hang out constantly and we kiss.

Speaker 1 What was he doing there?

Speaker 1 In Spain. I don't remember.
You know what it was?

Speaker 1 I think he wanted to get away from England because I think he had a tough time and his mom just died there.

Speaker 1 So he just went to

Speaker 1 coming away. Yeah, true.
I was not ready for it. But

Speaker 1 we would go to soccer games and he would wear like a press, he would get a press vest and just go into games. Like no ticket? No tickets.
You just get a fucking,

Speaker 1 yeah, like a traffic vest.

Speaker 1 And Spain doesn't,

Speaker 1 there's no structure at all. Like there's no, everyone's just like, yeah, there's no lines.
When you try to wait in line, it's just a gang of people. There's no, yeah.
Everything's just crazy there.

Speaker 1 Madrid, it was all Spanish. But I don't think there's...
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's their language? But I probably wouldn't fucking know the difference. Right.
Yeah. Their language is Spanish.
No, but there's another separatist language there. It's Catalan.
There's like Bass

Speaker 1 region.

Speaker 1 Yeah. The North.
Yeah. They're kind of separatist, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is this how this podcast always goes? Is this good? Yeah. All right.
I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be funny or just telling stories. I mean, telling stories.
All right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It seems fun as shit. Yeah.
Especially meeting the people. Like, who'd you become friends with? That guy? The English guy and the teachers.
The teachers were good friends.

Speaker 1 One of the teachers came and visited me in Philly. No.
Yeah. She came to the Raven Lounge and saw me do an open mic.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was another thing. So then I got, you know, I got canceled from SNL.
Yeah. And I haven't talked to them in like five years.
Did I suddenly see your

Speaker 1 news in Spain? And they were like,

Speaker 1 Shane, you're racist?

Speaker 1 They're like, what the fuck, dude? Why are you racist? I was like, no, no, no. I swear I'm not racist.
No, solo to Chino. Yeah, I was like, solo uh comiga estoy payo sito

Speaker 1 Like, system of government trying to, like. Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think they had a recent issue with that. Like, the socialists are kind of like fucking up their country.
Really?

Speaker 1 I think there's... Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think the right-wing bros are taking it back.

Speaker 1 To be communist? No, no, no. I don't understand.
To fight against the communism. They got pretty socialist over there.
I thought socialism was communism.

Speaker 1 That's how little I know. No, no, no.
Yes, it's similar. I'm saying the right-wing in a lot of European countries seems to be making a comeback.

Speaker 1 And the right wing is communism. No, that's the left.
Doesn't it seem like Mao would be like right wing?

Speaker 1 He doesn't seem like a left left-wing guy. Well, left, you're confusing.

Speaker 1 You're confusing the left-wing for being like.

Speaker 1 Everybody's okay. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They had that in Ecuador as neolibs. Yeah.
And they're like,

Speaker 1 oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's like, nah, fuck deficit.
Fuck the

Speaker 1 communists, that's where it goes. Wow.
And it comes around. Millions of people usually die.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I didn't know him. That's all right.

Speaker 1 So what did you, so you go to sports. That is fun.
Yeah, that was good. Sports is fun foreign.
And I would,

Speaker 1 for some reason, they didn't love binge drinking there.

Speaker 1 It's not like England and Ireland and Scotland. The English countries love binge drinking.
These Mediterranean countries are kind of like... What do they do?

Speaker 1 They just drink all day, but slowly with like wine wine and shit like that. Vermouth? Did you get into vermouth there? I did have some vermouth.
Nice. Again, trying to be bugging.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 Swash.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I would get hammered. And they'd be like, are you okay?

Speaker 1 Like, I went to, we went to a... Me and the teachers went to a concert in Spain.

Speaker 1 Concerto.

Speaker 1 And I... Musica.
And I went and I was like, hey, everyone, watch this. And I bit the top off a beer and chugged it.
And one of the couples, one of the couples, one of the couples went home, dude.

Speaker 1 One of the couples that was with us was like,

Speaker 1 and they left.

Speaker 1 It's like, watch this. Everybody's going to like me.
This worked in college football. It's like Homer having a memory of the New Yorker version of himself.

Speaker 1 This worked in college football. Yeah, I was like, this is the only way the players on the team liked me.
It's funny because they have booze all the time.

Speaker 1 And then everyone's just like, we'll do this responsibly. And then Americans or Australians come in, like, well, we'll show you how to do it, not responsibly.

Speaker 1 We're going to chug as many as we can and try to find cocaine from a gypsy. You meet any gypsies?

Speaker 1 No, I didn't like hang other than the one that stole my shit. I've never met anyone.
I don't even know if he's a gypsy or no. Who knows if he was even tricking me? I might have just run away.

Speaker 1 Sir, sir. He's a son.
Sir.

Speaker 1 Great. So sell it off.
He probably tried to get it back to me. He tried to mail it.
He's probably a good guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they hate gypsies from what I've seen. Like, aggressively and verbally, outwardly go, fuck gypsies.
You're like, whoa, like, let them hear.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're serious about it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I'm here with my husband, Mike Feccion, and I need to tell you something publicly, and it's that I'm concerned about your body odor.

Speaker 1 That seems like something you should tell me privately and not publicly.

Speaker 4 Well, it's 2024, and I'm making content, and I am exploiting you.

Speaker 1 You're outing me? Are you guys talking about body odor? odor? Yes. Yes.
Couldn't help but notice. I smelled you from a block away.

Speaker 1 a mistruther.

Speaker 1 It's going on a bad road now. The point is, they do podcast ad reads for stuff they don't believe in.
That's not me.

Speaker 1 Today's ad read is for Gooder sunglasses. I bought these myself with my own hard-earned money.
Do you know how much it pains me as both a Jew

Speaker 1 and no, that's it, to have to pay for things that I would let her get offered for free?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I bought these in Philadelphia, Mississippi. I was there to watch Dolly Partner.
I was becoming the world's most romantic man.

Speaker 1 So I watched Dolly Partner in one of her final shows before she passed.

Speaker 1 And I stopped into a store there and I bought these pair of glasses. Gooder.
G-O-O-D-R. It's kind of like water, the way Philadelphia people say it.
And also the way they would say

Speaker 1 better.

Speaker 1 Good, Gooder.

These glasses are great. I bought them.
I'm insanely happy with them.

Speaker 1 When they came to me with the podcast ad read, I was like, for sure, because I have more free glasses. But it does pain me.
I said, can I get a refund on the ones I bought?

Speaker 1 And they said, no, you bought that from a store unrelated to us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we supply different stores across the country with Gooder glasses, and then you buy it from them. We can't give you a refund.
And I was like, can I talk to a manager there?

Speaker 1 And they go, no, that's not the way this works. This is a podcast ad read.

Speaker 1 So I'm never going to get that money back. But luckily, it wasn't very much.
It was about $25 with tax. All the Gooder glasses are stylish, sleek.
They don't bounce.

Speaker 1 And they're polarized. What else? They told me something else I forgot about.
No slip. Yeah, that's 100% true.
They're lightweight and comfortable. Look at that.

Speaker 1 See how I'm squinting now? My eyes are wide open now. It's shining directly in the sun.
You don't believe in no bounce? You don't believe in no bounce?

Speaker 1 Does that look like bounce?

Speaker 1 None.

Speaker 1 Fuck it. None, dude.
You think bounce? None.

Speaker 1 Well, not only is this a fucking great pair of glasses, legitimately, I wear these, and they're my favorite pair.

Speaker 1 Wait, are there any other pairs of glasses I've got that have been more great than this? I got a pair of Dwayne Wayne's

Speaker 1 in college, the flip-ups. Those are long gone.

Speaker 1 No, currently, these are my favorite pairs. And a KFC pair that got in Trinidad in Tobago.
Not great glasses, but it does remind me of Carnival because they love KFC in Trinidad.

It was nice.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. They serve.
What is that? Yeah, I go get drunk. Really?

Speaker 1 No, I would try to eat the local shit. I became friends with everyone at this bar.
So in Madrid, there was a ton of English speakers and stuff like that. The town I lived in, there was no one.

Speaker 1 So being American was actually unique. Cool.
And they were excited about it to talk to me about American stuff. And

Speaker 1 this guy was like, he went hunting and he brought me some rabbits. We ate some rabbits in there.
What do you mean? Cogneja, I think. What do you mean? He brought you some rabbits.

Speaker 1 He shot two rabbits that day and brought them to the bar because he knew I was going to be at the bar and was like, I got these for you.

Speaker 1 And while we're eating, there was literally shotgun pellets in the meat while I was eating it. I was like, very good.
Thank you. Wait, he just gave it to the bar to cook up? He brought them prepared.

Speaker 1 Oh. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was at this bar. He looked like there's a pellet in here.
He goes, right. Yeah.
He's like, I shot it today. I was like, nice.

Speaker 1 That's so fun to start being friends with everybody. It was awesome.
That was so fun. I want to go back badly.
Because also, you got away from fucking every touristy thing of like, I did people.

Speaker 1 I did. I would do, that's always how I'm going to travel.
I'm always going to go to the fucking shitty local dive bar and just hang day after day and camp out for three months.

Speaker 1 Until people are like, okay, this guy's cool. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and you do a magic trick where you like you can pour like salt into your hand It just goes into the thumb thing. And then you go.

Speaker 1 He fucked me up constantly with that thing.

Speaker 1 Every night I'd be hammered. He'd come over and he didn't know what to say.
Oh my God. The memories are coming back, dude.

Speaker 1 There was a little tiny, weird gay guy named Monito, tiny monkey. He would come and jump on the magic guy.
It was fucking crazy, dude.

Speaker 1 And the magician, the bartender that was a magician, he would always go, which nice. That's all he knew.

Speaker 1 I don't think he understood English at all.

Speaker 1 That was his abracadabra. Yeah, he would go, which which nice.

Speaker 1 And I'd go,

Speaker 1 How long ago is this? 11 years ago? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. What's like the lack of responsibility of just like, you have to go to teach, and then that's pretty much it.

Speaker 1 And also, dude, I could, I would get drunk at Loberstar and then be like, I can't go to school today. And they'd be like,

Speaker 1 they really don't watch it. No one knows what I'm doing there.
They just liked having me around. Did they pay you? Almost nothing, but yeah.

Speaker 1 So that's how you like.

Speaker 1 But they got you a

Speaker 1 I went over there with like $10,000

Speaker 1 from selling cars, and I spent that all at Loberst Star. Loberstar is probably still

Speaker 1 open from that.

Speaker 1 From the fucking upstairs. 10,000 U.S.

Speaker 1 Halftime's ham time, bro. Halftime, everybody breaks out a Bogadillo.
Every single person there brings a sandwich in tinfoil. And at halftime, you just see everyone like the whistle blows at halftime.

Speaker 1 Everyone reaches in a bag, takes out a ham sandwich, and a fucking sack of wine. and just starts fucking spraying it.
A sack of wine? Big sack of wine. They love it.
What's a sack of wine?

Speaker 1 It's exactly what it sounds like. It's a leather sack.
And if you squeeze it, it sprays the wine out. Wait, like like a fucking sake bar.
Or like a.

Speaker 1 Is it like a Viking? Like in Lord of the Rings? Kind of like... Yeah, like a leather, like a purse.

Speaker 1 There's definitely a word for it. Would they pass it around? No, one guy would just.
Here's mine.

Speaker 1 I'd be like, yeah, I'll get someone.

Speaker 1 I'd nipple you. Yeah.
Let me see that. That's that.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Wow. Oh, there's so much.
So I was homesick. Oh, you can embroider them? And I was, I go to my first Athletico Madrid game.

Speaker 1 their mascot so is a bottle of Real Madrid Real Madrid's like unofficial mascot is like a Viking okay because they're like the fucking fascist like we're Aryan fat the Athletico Madrids was a Native American because they're like we're against that so everybody that was a fan of theirs wore like American like Cleveland Indians jerseys or Atlanta Braves jerseys or Florida state Florida State Center so like my first day I'm drinking about to go into the stadium and I see a guy in a Cleveland Indians starter jacket and I'm like you from fucking Cleveland, dude?

They're like, You got to go, dude.

Speaker 1 It's so sloppy. And you're like, No, no, it's good.
I was like, want to drink.

Speaker 1 I remember taking it, laying down. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was good. It was a good time.
God damn. Oh, we would go,

Speaker 1 Loberstar would close, and the only bar open would be a karaoke bar. So everybody would go sing.
Pour out of there into the other one. We would go sing karaoke with the staff.
And

Speaker 1 they thought I was a good singer. Because

Speaker 1 everybody was singing English songs. But you knew it.
But I could actually speak English. So I was getting the pronunciation right.
And I would sing, and they'd be like, Oh,

Speaker 1 he's so good.

Speaker 1 I'd sing fucking my girl by the temptations,

Speaker 1 and they'd be like, Wow, yeah, they'd be like, Wow, this guy's incredible. Although, they might have been making fun of me again.

Speaker 1 You're like, Looking back on this, I was definitely sure that I'm an adult, hold on, even close. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 the karaoke there was awesome, it was right next to the bullfighting ring. Would you

Speaker 1 should have gone? I know. Did they, um, did they um

Speaker 1 sing in Spanish? Yeah.

Speaker 1 They loved to talk to me about shootings, like shootings in America, like school.

Speaker 1 They thought it was big. They're like, why do you have guns? All these shootings are going on.
And I was like, how many people died in the running of the bulls this year in this town?

Speaker 1 They're like, Venti. I was like,

Speaker 1 so shut the fuck up.

And he goes, all right, I'll go in the back.

Speaker 1 And they stayed up all night drinking. And then he goes, as soon as he started running, he got jelly legs and just fell.
Oh, fuck.

Speaker 1 But I remember, this is kind of a funny story. I was starting to understand the language a little better.
And one of the, we had, so

Speaker 1 the Argentinian guys that I lived with, Argentina does barbecue a lot. So they'll go buy like 90 pounds of meat and just have a feast and invite friends over.

Speaker 1 So we had this dinner, and this guy was like talking about me clearly. And he was like, Como, Wayne Rooney pero mascordo and I was like

Speaker 1 I hear you bro those are hard words they also they called me Wayne Rooney a lot really he was yeah pull him up back then you saw what I looked like I was closer to looking closer actually me and Wayne Rooney are on similar trajectories now

Speaker 1 there he is

Speaker 1 yeah I had it like that yeah with the head up yeah

Speaker 1 now me and Wayne now Wayne's gaining weight

Speaker 1 he's fucking big now yeah Wayne got fat I saw him in the airport after the Super Bowl in Vegas it's pretty sick really not one person knew who he was that's so fucking just watched him walk by dude we had one of the door guys from the commerce doors from the south and some like country star came in and none of us yeah knew it all and he just we're like he was like this way it's two dollars you know $20 tickets and you just hear oh

Speaker 1 yeah yeah like what's going on the the reason also they thought I looked like Wayne Rooney is that was the only like real pale guy they knew Although even though they're pale, they also thought I had red hair.

Speaker 1 Did they follow Champions League? Really? Yeah. Did they follow Champions League? definitely they did yeah and premier league all that shit yeah

Speaker 1 yeah because they face them once in a while in the play

Speaker 1 they play

Speaker 1 but they followed english soccer too hey when is american soccer gonna take off

Speaker 1 hopefully this world cup it's in america it's in america and our team's good we got a young solid team although they just lost to columbia like 4-1 last week they split with brazil though tied brazil that was decent huge yeah you know your tucky team would be be like, this is awesome.

Speaker 1 We drew. Yeah, fucking the first time I think we ever got a point.
And Brazil's like, fuck, okay, we got to do better. Yeah.
And then they're like, we're ready. We're ready.
We tied them.

Speaker 1 That's a good tie.

Speaker 1 But America, the thing that sucks is when America is a home game, the entire stadium is the other country. Because we keep doing, we keep, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, you know, everybody here is from fucking Columbia.

Speaker 1 I think we played against Columbia in New York. Oh, really? I forget where we played them.
Yeah. We always play Mexico in Dallas.

Speaker 1 Mistake. Yeah.
The whole stadium's green. Yeah, you got to go to Dakota.
Yo, you ever watch those games?

Speaker 1 So Mexico has a chant where they call the goalie.

Speaker 1 Whenever he kicks the ball, they scream it. Really? So they go, oh,

Speaker 1 and they wait till he kicks the ball, and then they all yell it. And then

Speaker 1 they keep the refs will pause the game and be like, one more, and the game's over. To the stands? Yes.
And they're like, we're doing it. And they're losing.
Mexico's losing.

Speaker 1 So they're like, who gives a fuck? They do it the rest of the game. And the American Goldie's like, come on.
Like, guys, we're just trying to play the game. Stop.
It's so fun.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it makes you really like Mexico. Wow.
Yeah, I love a good fan. A homophobic chant that ruins the game.
That ruins the whole game. You know, like, we're not throwing anything.

Speaker 1 Like, we're throwing hurls. Yeah, you're being very racist.
You're like, you know, homophobic. We don't like it.
Dude, I'm so jealous of that trip
