What adventures did Brittany Broski have on her Italian vacation?
Welcome back to the Brodsky Report. This week, we are actually time traveling, okay? Because if you're watching this right now, I am in Italy. If you're listening to this right now as of the week of March 10th, I'm actually in Italy. So if you see me in Italy, mind of my business, I'm actually gonna be with my family. So we're doing a family vacation to Rome.
We're actually doing the Orient Express, which is super fun. I have never, ever, never in a million years did I think I would be on the Orient Express. So it's really fun because me and my dad love trains. Me and my dad and my brother love trains. So naturally, we're going to be doing the Orient Express into Rome or into Verona, actually.
And then we're taking a car to Rome and then we're going to, I'm going to live my Red Rising fantasy. Okay, my Greco-Roman Hellenistic futurism fantasy, okay? all in this little nugget up here. Because life is something that, stay with me, life is what you imagine it to be. Life is what I've created up here. And what I've chosen to see up here when I go to Rome, Italy, is Red Rising, okay?
It's actually going to be, what's the fucking name? It's actually going to be Phobos. Phobos, that's the moon. That's the moon that What's the one they blow up? Ganymede? The duck yards of Ganymede. Where are my Red Rising bitches at? Guys, Cassius Albalona's razor master class. Razor master course, steel sharpens steel. You guys don't get Red Rising the way I do. Holy shit.
Okay, that is sort of my mindset going into my Italy trip. Of course, yes, I'm going to soak up all of the history. However, it's a bit tainted right now because a lot of my past year has been consumed by genuinely, and I don't mean this is like, are you on TikTok? I've been thinking about the Roman Empire a lot. I watch a lot of National Geographic YouTube specials on the Roman Empire.
Not even the Roman Empire. I watched one last night about the fall of... ancient empires. So we discussed the Persian Empire. We discussed Egypt. We discussed how there was at one point in history, Egyptian and Greek cultures kind of lived simultaneously. And while I say simultaneously, I don't necessarily mean peacefully, okay?
Again, I need a linguist in the corner and I need a historian in the corner to be like, ah, you're lying. And then I'll be like, and then I'll sit here in silence and I'll listen to him talk and then I'll just regurgitate what he said. One of these days, I'm going to do that. I'm going to be like, welcome to my home, sit in the corner, and I'm just going to talk.
And if you find any incorrect information or I misspeak maybe, then just go ahead and jump in and correct me. If anyone knows any historians, send them my way because I'd like to employ them for a day on one of these podcast episodes.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to sort of deep dive into some, I'm going to practice some Italian sayings and phrases because recently, as we all know, I had this little stint where I said I was going to learn French. Okay, now ask me if I've gotten anywhere on there. No, I have not made any progress on my French. So, oh, I forgot to tell you what I'm sipping on today.
