Tell me the story about nosotros.
I was. I did take Spanish classes for a while.
She was very difficult, yes.
Nosotros. But you couldn't pronounce it. Oh, that's right. You couldn't pronounce it. You're reminding me now. He was like, nos otros. Nos otros. So I would say, nos otros, which means we, right? So I would say, nos otros. That's right. And she would go, et no otros? Yeah. Do I say Brianne? Do I go Brianne? That's not how you say it?
And it's like a child's Spanish book, right? She's giving like these children's workbooks. And here's the craziest thing about this lady. We would meet at a Starbucks most of the time because when we met at the library for a while, but she was so loud and aggressive that the librarian asked us to make it somewhere else. So then I would get a cognosin or a cognoso, a cognose, whatever.
They didn't accept me. Now I speak English and they love me or hate me, I guess, depending on what it is. That's right. You're very careful. So, you know, I didn't have AI when I first met Astrid. The what? AI. Like ChatGPG or something like that.
No, I don't even think that I knew what Google Translate was at the time. I think I went to the internet and searched out the words that I wanted to say. The words I didn't know in Spanish. And when I put those words together, it apparently sounded so incredibly dumb that Astrid responded in English. I can imagine. Yeah, she was like, listen, I speak English. You don't need to speak Spanish.
But one of the... If I had... And I think I found Google Translate pretty quickly after that. But had AI been around, I think I probably would have gotten with your sister a lot quicker. It would have been much easier.
A lavia? Yeah. Like bullshit flowing out of my mouth like a volcano? Yeah.
Yes. You have that talent. I think in English you would either say affable or like you might be referred to as a people person. Okay, yeah. But I think that's kind of dumb because I don't know too many people that aren't people persons, you know, like who doesn't like people or who doesn't have one other person.
Yeah, listen, you take me to a place like Great Wolf Lodge, and I quickly don't like people.
That's it.
So I asked Chad GPT earlier today – I said, hey, ChatGPT. It's not really ChatGPT. It's a different one, but I'm not going to say the name here on air because they're not the sponsor. It's like ChatGPT. It starts with a G? What's that? It starts with a G? No, I'll show it to you after you get it. I said, hey, if I'm dating someone from Venezuela and I want to...
uh know who they are like i want to i want to impress them what are some of the things i need to know about to impress them that's good right and so they put out a list of things and i think it's pretty dead on i want to share it with you this is 20 things we'll go through a few okay Number one, family values. Family is extremely important to the Venezuelan culture.
Expect to meet family members early on and be prepared for family gatherings at a regular pace. What it doesn't say is prepare three or four extra bedrooms in your house for a nonstop flow of Venezuelans.
You have to become part of the family. And I think that is why, quite frankly, I feel so... indebted and ingrained in the Venezuelan culture is because when I met Raphael early on, here's the story, you ready? Raphael and I met at a restaurant. I was working at one restaurant, he was working at the other, they were the same restaurant, two different locations, two little Italian restaurants.
The owner wanted him to come work at the one over where I was working. And I'd been working at this restaurant for like four or five months. Didn't know Raphael, never met him. He comes over. He's sitting at the end of the bar. I'm bartending. Quickly, we strike up a conversation. And fast forward to six or seven hours later, we are incredibly intoxicated at the bar across the street.
And his grandparents, where he was living at the time, lived in the townhouse behind that bar, like half a mile behind the bar. Okay. So the bar closes, 3, 4 in the morning, bar closes. We are 30 drinks into it. I mean, we are just shithoused. And I'm like, I got to call a cab home. And he's like, no, fuck that, dude. We'll go to this gas station. We'll grab a six-pack of beer.
We'll go to my grandparents' house where I live. So I said, oh, your grandparents are going to let me stay there? And he said, my grandparents, they wouldn't have it any other way. You need to come to my grandparents' house. They'll cook us food.
This is like Waffle House? I had no understanding of Venezuela.
