Why did David record the first episode from Italy?
We don't have a ZQL, but we have possum juice, make you sleepy.
It's also spaghetti sauce. The word in the street is spade is a colossal Out of all the grown ups guys,
right? Well, you have uh different kinds of different uh things that need to be figured out. But you did Why Italy? What it does it is it crucial to the plot? What couldn't you done in the back lock of Sony and just built a little icy? This is the Odyssey
I can't even explain it to you.
All right, welcome to the lightest, brightest I've ever been with my fluffy hair on the side. We are in
different locations and we have different equipment. What your hair is doing um is remarkable. It's remarkable.
It's because you're in a wig
all day,
right? And then I said, you know what? Dana doesn't deserve a hat. I'll probably put it on them. Don't be mad about my messy hair. I know your hilarious
cut is hilarious. This is just to cheer you up after our kind of uh technical issues.
You know, he seems like he's sang in Italian. Didn't he do Oh yeah? Volare or something.
Oh
yeah, that's a more
yeah, that's a more too much of a froggy throat to do this. It's three thirty in the morning here and where I am.
Oh, you know, the thing about how much we are devoted to our fan base, which is fucking huge, is that uh Is that um I'm late in the day and Dan is early in the morning because I'm in
It's time.
You know, it's funny, aside from everyone. I mean almost everyone speaks Italian here. But very
annoying. You I I've told you how to hack it, right, in previous podcasts. Mm. Ah ooh. I don't know. Like uh we were waiting for the ferry and it was like uh what? No, and I said arrive. I'm not kidding. And it works. It works. So what would be a typical thing you'd have to ask? Well,
they do put high eyes. They go, You want to go to Dina? Dell that
that's more like Mexico City. But I do have Google Translate. Oh you do, okay. I let's
uh take back everything I just said. I know, it's just off it's hard. Uh, Google Translate is almost like Shazam because it just shows like song lyrics. So these working properly. Well don't you talk into it and then interprets it? I do but I think it picked up the song and the I guess it goes on a dark desert highway and they're like What is what is that? I'm like, oh, that's from an Eagles song. I think this is not working right. It
doesn't seem like just playing random English speaking pop songs would help an Italian like translate what you're trying to convey. That's just me. I'm a nut that way.
No, it's a it's a disaster. But I will tell you, the people use their hands so much, but they don't have guns here. So when they get in a fight, it's like slow motion.
Goog.
So that's an aggressive? So it looks like a gun, but it's just a hand. Okay. Well I I like that about Italy. It's a very peaceful country.
Yeah. Very peaceful. Also they try to like 'cause we're trying to eat and they go, You're gonna have so much pasta and it's actually really good for you and you actually don't gain weight and it's actually and then I don't know if that's all true, but I said, Oh, great. And the they try to show off with the pastas, you know, because the menu is never like spaghetti and meatballs. It's like my
week,
don't
chop.
Exactly. And then I go, What's ravioli? Got any got any like uh spaghetti meat sauce? They go, uh so he goes, Ravioli with meat. And then I look at what kind of meat. It's rabbit, deer, and hamster. It's like so crazy where you go. This is disgust.
This is all the the breadth of human history. We would eat rodents and things and frogs and turtles. It's only new that we have this fillet of whatever. But I I like it there because it's benign. Like one time these cops came up to me and said, get up against the wall. And they made like this, and they go, and have a piece of pizza. Have a pizza pie. I thought they were threatening up against the wall, spread them and have a piece of pizza. Oh, you guys are kidding me. Sabarrow.
Sabaro. Right. We have our pizza. Yeah. It's all it's how it is over here. You want some skunk meat on your pasta?
You want the full skunk or you just want the meat ground?
