Feeling Effervescent & Extraterrestrial ft. Tanner Devore & Andrew Muscarella

The hosts, Andrew and Tanner, share a detailed and humorous account of their cultural immersion in Spain during a sleepover event, highlighting the stark contrasts between American and Spanish lifestyles. They describe a rich, abundant dining experience at a top-of-store dinner, featuring multiple dishes like octopus, tuna salad, and lamb chops, which overwhelmed their stomachs and challenged their expectations. A central theme is the cultural difference in food and service: Spanish food is presented with transparency and freshness, with meals often sourced directly from farm to table, while Americans are accustomed to fast, convenient, and often processed options. The hosts also note the absence of water in dining culture, leading to dehydration and discomfort—especially after consuming rich, fatty meals. The experience is further intensified by the slow pace of Spanish life, from long wait times at restaurants to bureaucratic customs at the airport, including a tense, delayed boarding due to a passport system failure. The hosts recount a chaotic airport baggage check where they were stripped of essentials and given only two small plastic bags, leading to frustration and embarrassment. Despite the challenges, the experience is overwhelmingly positive, offering deep appreciation for the authenticity, hospitality, and cultural honesty of Spain. The episode ultimately serves as a reflective journey, showing how immersion in another culture can expose both personal discomfort and profound growth, especially in understanding how values like time, food, and social connection differ across societies.

Can we talk about the top of store, and how we got actually silenced? Okay, so we went on a top of store, which mind you, shout out Campo Viejo, because they have been providing the only experience ever, and it's been absolutely gorgeous and stunning. And we've been having a really great time. And on top of that, not to take away from, but on top of that, literally on top of that. It's just like, I fear the cultural differences. >> The cultural differences that are backs literally expanding and being huge as well. >> As Americans, it's actually crazy because so we went on a top of store that was one of our activities, where we basically went like top of place to top of place, had like little one, two, three, four, you know. >> And then like so many glasses of wine. >> So many, we can't even talk about that because then we're going to have to go back to the start. >> The name wine now. >> Simply the morning wine, by the way. We were on what the third spot at the top is, and by the top is, I'm talking like the first one. >> Top is one or top is two. >> Top is two, because I'm talking about how we got like eight up boot. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> The closing question was a toast that had like a shrimp tartar on it, very duck in it, very delightful. And then the second one was like a tuna salad, like it was like tuna. It was like a Caprese, but then it had tuna on top of it. >> And we're sharing, we're sharing all of these. >> Very duck in it. >> Very amazing. >> Breast, scary movie by Stop the Breast, just apps like all of it's talking to each other six feet apart. And then we went to the third spot, which was simply, we went to the third spot, which was, as together as actually was like, I'm like hearing a song, and I'm like, okay, the third spot was octopus, like it was like slices of octopus and shrimps, and it was like two of each on a skewer. >> Which reminds you, at that place, we were just like, okay, so like, I do know its top is, but we are actually like my stomach's eating my fucking back. >> Yeah. >> So, like hours appearing, like literally just our back being eight, because our guide love him. >> Love him. >> Love him. >> Love you. >> Love him. >> Love him. >> And let's just keep it PG, but a little 13, y'all would have got it. >> No, the face honest. >> Yeah, I was just absolutely honest. >> He could have paid like, it would have been clear. And he did. >> And it. >> Yeah. >> Like, card cleared every single goddamn time. >> Oh, so mind you. >> So mind you, and I'm sorry, like before you, because I know exactly which way to say directors cut, bitch, we had already put it in order for chicken tenders because we were talking amongst ourselves. >> Yeah. >> And we were like, little mermaid live tour, because we were under the sea with the the choices that they're making. - We were under the same team. - Like I needed me. - Like, okay, so that's not a little American. - Well, no, I'm not. - And that's what I was gonna say, 'cause our guide was literally like love him down, but he was just like, oh, I'm full. - Baby, he hit us with I'm full. - Stop three. - I literally was like, okay, no, no, no, for sure. Let's do the pollo day nugget. It's like right the fuck out like salt. - No, and we literally turned him, we go, oh, we ordered chicken nuggets and he said, what? (laughs) - Oh, I'm sorry. I'm the fat Kelly Price. - I was like, oh my god. - He didn't even finish a full skewer, by the way, which is like honestly amazing, bruh. - No, he was stuffed. - He was stuffed after the tuna tartar and shrimp ceviche. - No, we were literally, he said that. We were like, I ate the stick of the skewer, too. I actually was trying to maximize the meal. The girl's got drunk, starts talking about, we need a soda. We need a big extra large soda. - Well, what the bitch if I would've had a big gulp last night? I would've started crying. - I'm so sorry. - And it's embarrassing to be American, okay? Can I just say that? - Let me sit there, I won't even fit in the cup holder. Like, I need that right now, you know what I mean? - They don't even have cup holders. - No, they don't. - Well, not that we don't make that generalization, but the bus that we were on, those the first thing I noticed was no cup holders, I was like, because I know y'all bitches, be drink it, put it away. I'm hour four with my boba. Like hour four, just absolute. - Gosling? - Ew. - And it's like there's something, there's something about being American in this city, where I don't know where we are the only people that are being approached to be quiet. You know what I mean? There's been multiple instances where people have come up to saying, hey, can you just tone it down in public spaces? - In public, where there's other people also there. - Which is like, okay, we're just having fun. - When I think we're at a five. - Right. - Get your hair to the usual. - Oh my god. - The energy I bring to raise and canes, raise the hell and raise the canes, like right now. - No. - And raise them like, whoa. - Wait a minute. - No, attend would shake the cobblestones of these streets. - Out left. - And we laugh, like at least for next break. - No, that's what it was. - It just is like, just so humbly. - So it's not right. - No, it's not right. So then to end off the night, they served us lamb chops, which like a lirv, except for the fact that I'm like, not gonna eat lamb. - Right, you don't like lamb. - Just 'cause like unfortunately the taste is giving like blah, blah, like little sheep. - Yeah, blah, blah, blah. - I will say this was the least gamey lamb, but when I found it was like fed from a tea, like recently, it was like, - God thought it was made in lamb. - It was really tough to eat. - When they told that story, they're like, it's a delicacy, 'cause that lamb has only been around. He's only five days old. I'm like, yeah, now I don't want to eat that, because now I'm like, give him a six day. Like actually, like, let him run again. - Six day heroes again. - No, like he did not need a die on day five, 'cause I don't even want him that way. Like literally the plate, that's the thing. 'Cause when you're with a group that's like, you know what you're with a group that's above the size where it's like, you can't just do two plates. You gotta do seven. You gotta take it to the max. They're ordering seven plates, so we would always have a plate by the Americans. And then we'd be like, maybe a little bit of it. So there, that innocent lamb died to sit there in the corner of the top of his bar like. - I will say, I-- - When you're going to eat me. - It was some of the best lamb though I've ever had. And I do believe, you know, that it's just like, let's see the meats. - Let's see the meats. - There's something really honest about walking around and like seeing, 'cause also though, we have to talk about how the food here is so fresh. - Yeah, so fresh. - So fresh, like everything is like, oh yeah, here you go, like we just took it off the vine. Like the meats hanging, like everything is absolutely so. And that's why I'm like as an American, I'm like walking around here with my head down. Like I don't know the last time that I've seen like a piece, mind you, I saw like a full pig today, like a full pig with the face, like-- - Like, they wait for the-- - Oh, and they were like, no, simply. And there's something really honest about that that I'm obsessed with where it's like, but that was the best thing I've ever had. And they were, they're not afraid to tell you where it comes from. It's like, hey, face, you're having the beef cheek, but honestly walking into that first, the top is round one, and seeing them slice the ham off of the literal hove of a pig. Like the hove was just like dangling there like in front of my face, like being stupid like that. And it was completely like, no, it wasn't. - It's amazing, like it's honestly amazing. 'Cause you think about all the American restaurants that they literally have like, do not enter like your band from like the kitchen, like do not step back here, 'cause you're not gonna like, what you see, what you see-- - Coming out of that. - The literally microwave, like a sizzle food network, like the semi-dropped it off the door. - What you see in the bag of an American restaurant is like the ring bit. So what you see in you up seven days and then you die. - Well, and not the other thing too, 'cause they move like, you know, just their way of life in the culture is just moving slow as hell, 'cause like, everything doesn't open until like 10, 11. - Not at the hard way. - Yeah, and the other thing is too, that like sends the fuck out of me, is because their way of life is so slow. Like, I haven't seen, we saw one person going on a run, like a leisurely run, like no one's like out here like, bitch, we ho found missing bitch. Like literally it's just not giving that at all. And then on top of that, with that in mind, we were eating at this place and when I tell you, they think every like breakfast lunch dinner should be like three, four hours. 'Cause I was like, oh no, like we are on a time crunch, like, can we check in there, like, yeah, of course. - Well, they're like, what time crunch possibly? - Yeah, I was actually being inappropriate that second time. That's first of all, one, I was hitting, not only hitting all the way to like, you know, really crazy way, like, he winked at me three times. - He did wink at me, and he was winking down. - He was winking down, but it got to a point where I was getting so aggravated that the check wasn't coming and I asked for it three times. And then I was like, I need to check my American ass because like, that shouldn't be the case. - Well, like walked into the restaurant. - Okay. - Well, I do fear, at least for me and I will say this, once my jet lag starts hitting, at like, 12, 1, 2, and it's like literally 2.30 a.m. in Los Angeles, and I'm like sitting in Spain and like, the sun's out. I actually start going nonverbal, but my attitude switch up is like fucking narcissistic. - No walk off. - Like, no walk off. - No walk off, no walk off, simply. - Well, in knowing that too, like, knowing the awareness, like the third eye of like, oh shit, I know what it is in America right now. Like, I almost can't like, open that door because once I know, everybody texted me, good morning, Baltimore, and I'm like hung over at 11. I'm like, don't even talk to me. - No, the time difference this time, like really true. And usually I'm like, a power through jet lag kind of girl, but there were a couple times. It's that combined with how slow everything is, where it's like, once we sit down for lunch, maybe it's two hours mini, mini, absolutely amazing food, absolutely decadent, but I'm at the table like true. like falling through the chair. - Like it really, like there was a couple times where I was like, "Guys, I'm just simply not here." - Oh, I'll tell you when that happened for me. - Please. - Well, we went to the Vineyard, which was like stunning and gorgeous. - So gorgeous. - And underground, they have the seller, which I guess is like the biggest wine seller in the world, like underground. And it's four acres, dead-ass. - That's crazy. - And we were walking through where they keep the barrels and it's like pitch black in there. - Oh, ho, ho. - Oh, ho. - He's like, he's like a moody world in there. - No, it was he steam. - Maybe it's Okeny. - It's Okeny. - That was literally like-- - Well, but that's why that wine, how does like-- - Because my cough turned a dust down there. I'm like, "Wait, okay, this is about to hit." Like, "Oxygenate." - Like, you actually poured me some of that barrel thing. - Yeah, right. - And I was like genuinely fighting for my fucking life. Like, I was like, "Oh my god, like these barrels." Like, I was like literally trying to do anything to like focus because I was suffering so bad. And then we like, walk up this ramp and they literally like, I don't know, like, pull these blinds. - It was sick thing. - It was sick. - Like, it was like a garage-- - Crazy ass reveal ever. - And all the light came pouring in and I felt like I had gone to heaven. Like, I was like, "Oh my god, these are the pearly gates." - Well, it was crazy about the gate opening was like, what's they opened the gate? Why were there 17 employees that were just standing there in the dark? - Well, but that's what the champagne was pumping. - Yeah. - Well, okay, and see, the other thing about it is like, you don't know if it's 'cause I'm 27 or if it's because like, again, Americans like we need time for ourselves. But the drinking culture and the way how-- - Whoa. - Okay, number one, absolutely like, I died. I died on the first night because I had the audacity to get off a 11 hour flight. Don't know who, what, when, where, how, like why? And then simply immediately went to top this. - Right, I think I honestly like feel bad for that one because I think I, like, enter the space and I said, you're seriously gonna land in the groan you and not go to a top of the store? - Well, I don't know anywhere that I don't wanna go. - Right, right, right. - I will say that. - I appreciate that. - I think we need to back it up on this story because here's the realty. First off, we got off the flight from LA and we have like a layover at CDG to Bilbo, Bilbao. - Bilbao. - Bane. And when we were going through CDG, genuinely that airport makes me wanna fucking, because dead ass, bro, it's so big, it's so confusing, whatever, like there was a couple times I had to stop and be like, wait, am I going to the right place? But essentially, we had to go through customs before we could get on our next flight. Oh, oh, okay, so there was only one security line. And here's the thing, I have no idea why. When I went to CDG before, I literally could have so where I had Charlotte, Tilbury, XL, everything, like whatever, it was totally fine. - No, and user beware of CDG. - Literally, they did not press me like this at all, but they only had two lanes open, so everyone's fucking coughing and puffing. These French guys get into a fight with the security guy and we're like, cussing them the fuck out. It was actually, it was crazy. - You were cursing them? - I was, oh my God, no. - No, these two, so like the security guy, who was like, telling people what line to get into. This guy was like, cussing him the fuck out, 'cause he was like, I need to get through, but there was literally one lane. And then after 20 minutes, they opened another one. - Right. - Like, it was some bullshit. - He was bucking on him, crazy. - Oh, it was literally, I'm not gonna hold you. - He wanted to get out the guillotine. I was like, baby, he worked here. - He was burning it. - That's what I didn't get to say. - Anyway, anyways, with that being said, they were literally nucking and bucking at the fucking security, it was crazy. But, so I'm like, in line, we're waiting. It's finally our turn to go, and we're like, oh shit, it's low-key like the clock. - Oh, it was already on. - Yeah, I was like, okay, we're gonna have to like, buck it to cuss them and then like, run to our flight. So then, we finally get through, and the girls like, literally take everything off. Like, take your clothes off, take everything off. - Oh, everything, literally everything. So we have all this podcast equipment. We take it all out. They literally are like, okay, tea. Then, she hands me two plastic bags and is like, put everything in here. When we went to Canada on tour, they like made us put everything in bags. But they gave us as many bags as we needed. - Baby, no. - So when I was here, they were like, you get these two small fucking Ziploc bags. Whatever doesn't fit, you need to throw away. - So I'm sitting here with like, literally her entire weight and scolds like in her bag. - I'm just like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Everything's travel size for the most part, besides like two things that I'm like, okay, fair, but like fuck you. My whole skincare routine, literally all my shit, and we get to the end, 'cause they literally take all my luggage. Well, my luggage gets stripped. - Mind you, we did all that with the hot, when I'm just like, sweating, girl. Like, we're literally sweating like, okay, okay, like the creams in the Ziploc, girl, here come our creams down the shit and then there are our bags, boop, all our bags got pulled to the side because, okay, like, I'll pull my panty to the side, like, I forgot that I have like, I have like, I forgot that I have like, I was scared, I was stressed. - I literally forgot I had like a fucking Alex Earl White, like, I'm so sorry. So they pulled my shit to the side. And then they found like, more creams because the guy was like, okay, you're not just liquids, by the way. It's cream, like concealer cream. - How many cream, oh okay, but it's because of how much cream do you need? - Well, 'cause it's like moisturizer. - No, like moisturizer lotion, but then bronzer. Like, you know what I mean? Like my makeup. - Yeah, concealer gagged. - They don't make shit travel size anymore. And you just have to take a risk. - It doesn't matter if it's travel sized. What matters is that it fits in two plastic bags. - That's not. - So it got down to the end and like, don't mind you like, she used it in my bag like that. 'Cause at this point, it's just like, my friend has like her entire life in here. - And then they let me through, but then they don't, there are bags don't get cleared. So then she pulls even more shit out that like, didn't make it through fucking security. And I, she was like, give me your plastic bags. And I'm like, so I start emptying the plastic bag. - She said, she said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - So mind you, I take two off the top when she said that. I was like, okay, okay, I took like two off the top 'cause I was like, dumb as like six bottles. And we got to the end and it was like, it was so crazy that it was like, we got to the end and your bags were full as fuck. And I saw dumb as trying to put like her touch when it was in the middle and I literally go, take out the touch line. Like that's like, I was like whatever is the least valuable is like not fitting in the bag. - And she was like weakest fuck out. Like she genuinely had the audacity to laugh at me 'cause she was like, oh, well like, well 'cause what she said to me, that genuinely like sent me fucking, like I was about to turn into the only American Karen bitch. Like I was about to show them what the USA is fucking about. - Be like American culture. - Mind you, I'm like so oversimulated. They're calling me a dumb, stupid, dirty fucking whore. And then she's like, oh, and by the way, which one do you want? It's my road highlighting milk and my like, Alex, her all like make up remover shit. - We want to take a break to think a sponsor of today's episode Talk Idry.

And honestly, she was probably being nicer to us than like other people for real. 'Cause at the end, we were keying so hard that she was kind of like, okay, like, by the time she walked to my toothpaste, she was like, "I gotta go." - Like, I love my bully. Like, "We'll be hugger." - Baby, I love my bully. They had a diva waiting for her bag to get checked. I think we told you guys this, but she had, they had a diva waiting and she was, "Can somebody, I'm sorry, I'm about to miss my flight. I'm about to miss my flight." She's going through our bag. She turns her, she goes, "French?" And the girl says, "No." And she said, "Mmm." - Oh my god. - And the girl literally goes, "Okay, she turns us and goes, "Yeah, if it's not big enough, "it's not big enough." And the lady was literally like, "Oh, good enough, nothing to do with the crotch." - I love that. - Shut up. - Were you silent during that check-in? That check-in clap that they sent you and Southwest sends you the text and they go, like, "I think you know they send her that text, "they like basically get on." Like, wait. - No, they got it. So bad, they get it so bad. - Well, in the part that like really like at the end, like she was just like fucking, like she did, I started laughing. And the touchlin' hand sanitizer, that Maya was like, "Just throw it, just throw it." And she was like, "Oh, it's hand sanitizer. "Let's let you take it." And then we left. So now we're literally fucked in the butt. Like genuinely, we're like fucked because we go to like customs, which you know, you just scan your passport at the, like CDG, if you haven't been there, you literally just scan your passport, they scan your face and then you walk it through. But they were like, "Oh, our passport systems are down." Two fucking lanes for everyone to go through for 350,000 more customs, literally. And the customs is like, it's the kind of customs where they were like, "Oh, you were born in Saudi Arabia." And you're like, "Yeah, I was." And they were like, "And-- - Why? Yeah, like, what are your parents' names? And your grandparents, like, yeah. - Middle name, Bianca? Like, you know what I mean, like just like that shit. So it was like taking so long. And at this point, our flight was taking off at 350. And our flight was boarding at 325. And it was literally 320. And I look at Maya and I'm like, "Dude, we're fucking cucked." - So then, like the tear in my eye. Oh, so then we walk through and we're like, our gay, our gay, our gay. No worries, love. It's a bus to your gay. - Oh, no, no. - Had no idea walking around the airport couldn't find it, couldn't find it, asked somebody. She's like, "Oh, it's over there, got a little lost, whatever." Get on the bus and we're riding like, "Okay." - It's three, what, like 40? - No, we literally were on the bus like, "Okay, so, okay." Like, looking at flights. - Because mind you, our flight was, like, the gate was closed. And they said there's nothing they can do once the gate closed. So I was literally sitting there like, "Okay, like fuck me." - Like, we're done. That's what we said. - Mind you. - There was no, yeah. There was no room on the bus. So I'm literally holding on like this. - And he was whipping the full body stiff in that bus. He was whipping it so hard that there was this like, I think they were like a married couple. They were like older and they were like. - Like, I was literally like this. I was like-- - Holding on to wheels on a skateboard. - We don't talk about the story shit. - Oh, it was so bad. And I was holding on like this, like American Ninja Warrior, like holding on to a curve, I was just like, "Fuck me." So then we get to our gate. It is what would you imagine it to be? 347. Bitch, our plane's still there. That's the only reason I was like, we should try. - And I saw the plane was still there. That was-- - And I was literally like, "My, they're not gonna let us." Like, they're literally not gonna let us. And my, I was like, the next flight's five hours. - Well, and I was like, the next flight is five hours. And if there's like a two percent chance, then we minds will just walk over there. - 'Cause we're gonna have five hours anyway. - So then that's what like, "My, I call you. I go down there." And the girl was like, "What?" Like, is she gone? Like the plane's gone. And I was like, "No." She was like, "Well, why are you here?" Like, "What took you so long?" And I was like, "Well, because like the passport line and like all this stuff, and they shut everything down." And she was like, "Okay, let me see." - Mind you, they were making announcements on the speaker. I was like, "They didn't tell you." Like, they kept like cycling the same announcement that was like the passports are down. The passports are down. There will be a delay. So I'm like, "Sister." - Yeah. - And then she was like, "Okay, fine, let me see." And so she like calls the plane and the guy for whatever fucking reason. Like, I was like, "Did in America, they would fucking never." - Oh, never. - Unless there was a SWAT team to escort us. And like, literally dig their fingers in my hole. - Yeah, crawling on the wing of the plane to get it. Like, they're like, "Yeah, you can jump up there." I'm like, "Perfect." - Yeah. And they were like, "Okay." And let it go on the plane. - That was shocking. When we got the first text, first of all, we were like, "Oh, we were asked to hand cook out those deep breaths." And they're like, "We're not gonna text." Like, they're like, "I'm actually not gonna make it." - I'm like, "Oh." - And we're like, "Oh, shit." - Like, let me actually like, stir my drink one more time and like, think about this. 'Cause we all were like, what the fuck are we gonna do now? - Genuinely. - Yeah. 'Cause like, you guys are the energy that we needed. Like, we were like, we were all tired. We were like, just sitting. - Jet lag. - Glorious, like, yeah. - Yeah. - Like, happy to add for a jet lag. - Like, fantasizing about you guys landing. And then when you got that text, we were like, "Oh, it's over." - Because I could not imagine anything except the calm experience that it was Amsterdam Airport, where literally, tell me why people are walking, like, walk away. Like, people were literally walking to the gate. Like, they'd be like, "Beah, I'm in wrong area." It's okay. And then they turn around whatever. Like, literally look like a whole Ikea in there. It was beautiful. All the flight attendants are hot. - Can I say, like, "No." - Like, you know what I mean? Like, it was actually, and say, like, "Plumped, milk." Like, they's like, you know, like, they're very much, like, millennia of the movie. Like, it was very beautiful, like, to me. But I just, like, was imagining that. Mind you, the plane was about as big as the snap of your finger. Like, it was, like, you could punch your neighbor all the way down three seats down. - Oh, real bad. - How did that work? - Real bad. - So, I'm already on that plane thinking if this the plane that go down, like, of course, like, the flat Stanley plane will be the one that does not, you know, make it to land. - Make it journey. - Right. So, I was imagining that. Like, look about how you're going through Paris and airlines, Charlotte Tilbury whole the hell past it. - Oh, girl. - Like-- - We were like-- - Okay. - Truly running it. - Like, the amazing grace. - It's-- - It was crazy. - It immersion into culture that was not American. And, like, genuinely, though, I will just say, like, I think we all came here with an understanding of who we are and, like, what we are as Americans. And, like, I'm not trying to bullshit anybody. - Oh, for sure. - Like, I get it. - Oh, for sure. - I would hate you. I would hate you too. - I would hate you too. - But, like, genuinely, like, getting thrown into the customs, getting thrown into the way service is here, I'm just, like, amazed. - Yeah. - I'm genuinely amazed. Sometimes confused, amazed, grateful. Like-- - Yeah. Well, then it's just, like, we had that whole experience at the airport. Let's take it to hell. The first thing we do, FaceTime, Andrew and Tanner, which mind you, Andrew said in September and was, like, girls, we have a surprise for you. The surprising question. There's a talk about here. - Right. - And I was like, oh. - Right. - Let's fucking gag it. - Like, after you, like, actually went through warfare, like, you needed this silver line. - Yeah. Needed to talk about it. - And that was, like, the only pick me up that I could have, like, ever needed. So I was, like, hyped. But in my brain, mind you, the car ride from, like, to LaGronia, Spain is two hours, like, an hour and a half from the Bilbao airport. So dead ass in my brain, I was like, oh, we just had, like, travel day from hell. Like, we're going to get back to the airport and, like, go to the Taco Bell. - Yeah. Well-- - I just personally have the experience of, like, I got here and I was like, I will say I was a little-- I was feeling a little excitement. - Excitement. - For Vesit. Like, I don't even know if that's the right word, but that's, like, the-- - Okay. - How it sounds when it's feeling. - Yeah. - And I also do, like, the existential dread thing where, especially when I go somewhere, like, a different country, I'm simply, every single moment. It's my last moment. - Oh. - And so I was like, okay, so just waking up early shit, staying out later shit, which, okay, see, because then it's like, you want to talk about being present, babe, mind you, I was just starting to edit the vlog from that night. Did anybody want to tell her on glass, too? She wasn't looking anybody in the eyes? - Okay. - This mind you. Okay, so-- - Babe, I was too sweet something. - Babe, I literally was watching the-- I was watching the tape back, like, literally by the second food and glass of wine we had, my eyes were literally splitting. - You were out. - And then the thought, like, that was Venom, like, Venom overtook me? - You were keeping up with me in a way that I wasn't even expecting, and honestly, I wasn't even good at you. - I know who was gonna check it, but, like, I wasn't, I wasn't doing much. - Well, because you don't present, you don't present, like, I would not really know. - No, because I am that friend, like, I'm always the least drunk in the room, even though I'm the drunkest in the party. I'm like, no, I'm good. I'm good. - No, I'm not. - But you were seeming to be really, really fine. It was really gagged me about it, and we could talk about what part of that took it to help, maybe, eight, six different foods from, like, every single, like, Earth, Wind and Sea, truly that night. - Yeah. - The top of that night, absolutely amazing, was watching the clip back. We might have to get you to Brioche, but I'm being so serious about that. - And honestly, because it was the best thing I've ever eaten. - And we missed Tanner so much. The thing is, like, when we said bye before we, like, I had, like, a little nap time, like, I was like, "Oh, my God, no, Tanner is gonna be at the top of store tonight." When you guys showed up, I was like, "No, Tanner is-- we have to call him. You overestimated the rally out of me, and I love you for that." But, no, as soon as it said 4 p.m., going to bed, I was like, "You look me-- you look me straight in the face." - You look me straight in the face, and you were like, "But you're up for, like, drinks later, right? Like, 8.30? Like, drinks a dinner?" - No, yeah. - Well, 'cause they texted me about a special guest that came and not kind of changed the whole course of the week, because why they mix in red wine with Coca-Cola here. - Well, let's see how we-- - Kelly Moira. - Matt Kelly, though, the fur, like, night zero, but then you know when it got extra sick, though, was the Kelly Mocha, which is the, you know, Lady Gaga, like, it's like the Coke the wine. Transition into us drinking just straight glasses of wine, haven't even got to the footage from glass five on. Also, again, in the like Americans, like we, I think we need to like, let's lower our voice a little bit, is that maybe it's the wine, but like, I'm never faking the funk. Like I'm never going to be feeling like swimming in my head and be like, I'm good. I truly, every single time that I was like, oh, sure, yeah, I, I've been to it. Yes. I don't want home and like, what can we blame it on? Can we blame it on? I don't know eating like six different kinds of meat. Can we blame it on? It was garlic butter mushrooms with a shrimp tail on the top, like the fuck? That was literally sucking the butter out the mushroom. She thought it's factory page 70, like why are we, maybe when I was glass six deep and they put literally like, like, what was that ham or beef like the slices of the slice from the hoof? And I literally ate an Andrew Taps me and goes, maybe they just took that off the hoof and I literally turned my neck like this, because you don't give me, honestly, you don't give me eating meat off of a hoof. Like that's why I was like, just like, you know, guys, listen. I was so, that should have been the sign. Well, mind you, the only reason why I was like, you know, literally not sitting next to Maya with an IV in the hospital was literally the only thing that I decided to do was have Kelly Mojo's and, nope, and I asked for water exactly at like, stop number four. Exactly. I like, don't be drinking like that. So I was like, okay, I need, like, and true like the water. No, and that's why I was like, which one is it because in a Christ like way, truly like in a way, this like divine Loki, my two memories past like last five that I can really like hold and I can feel it. Everything else is a little like, okay, for sure. The ones that I can hold is the hoof because more than the hoof, it's only about the hoof. It's the fact that I don't really eat anything raw. And this is that switch to the gag literally when we walked in, like when you walk in, it's literally like a fucking like literally, it was literally like it was straight up. And then literally they're like cutting it in front of you and it's kind of like a guy, like, whoa, that's so cool. Yeah. And I literally was like, Maya, look, a hoof. And she goes, nice. Oh, no, she didn't know because that texture does don't even, it's not even about the hoof or the meat, it's about like if I'm eating right, it would have been the same. If I was six glasses of wine deep and I ate a piece of tuna sashimi, y'all need to put my hands behind my back and take, oh, but I was saying like knowing you, that's when I was like my friend. And I ate two. What was, no, because it was shocking because of the first one that you ate, you go, actually, I don't really like that white stuff, which was the fat and then two seconds later I look around. You another piece. Oh, my God. No, that's the beat. Okay, so then of the second memory that I have again, that was literally God, like he, him, like Capitol age, like trying to reach down to be like my child, like get yourself up, was when you got that water bottle, like my brain literally took a screenshot. Like I remember I had like a half second of clarity and I was like, is that water? And then I was like, girl, we good. Because here, let's say it, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about the fact that you don't get water here. Like, oh, at all. Like he, if you asked for water, they literally spit in your face and say, why would you want that drink wine? That's the biggest bottle you've ever seen in your entire life and you're like, okay, but it's like a 17 euro. Simple. That's cute. That's cute. This big, like in ice cubes, like the wrapper, like honey, it's literally like you're throwing the biggest fucker in there. And it's like the most dehydrated bitch you know, which is me, like in the States, will not survive here. And that's how I know because in the States, I'm literally like, no, I'll never go to a restaurant drink that water. Oh. I will drink three coaks and I will simply leave. But for some reason here, maybe it's like the walking, maybe it's a bunch of things, but like, this is how you feel real now is because we came back. I laid down and I was thinking like, okay, I'm feeling the cup, I'm feeling like there's going to be a deep sleep, a mouth open, maybe, you know what I mean? Like, no tea. Well, and also too. You're like literally when I was like changing, you looked over at me and you're like, I'm drunk. Oh, perfect. I don't remember. Okay. So I just feel like I haven't seen you like, like I can name. It's like my birthday. Like every year. Oh, simply. But like, I feel like it's very rare that like any time I see you that you're just like, I'm drunk. So when I was changing and you said that to me, I was like, okay, I don't like letting go of the wheel like that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm a control person. Like, I don't like feeling like I don't have, because the thing about me when I get drunk is like, I will brown out fiercely. Like I will wake up the next morning and be like, oh, what? And I might like hit a dance move that I wouldn't usually hit. But then like, I'll be kind of be like, okay, she's feeling it. But I'm not like, I've never like, blacked all the way out, like lost like hours of time. However, like that, when I say it out loud like that, that's usually like, okay. But for lack of being like really fucking gross, like my problem with that though is like, what happened from 430 to 730 AM? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Was truly like, like it was like extra trust. It was extra suicide. I'm so serious. I've never gone through. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've never gone through anything. And you know what the worst part wasn't how I knew I was fucked. Sorry. If you don't like, sorry. Yeah. Well, throwing up. No, you can, like whatever. If you don't like that, like, please. I opened my eye at 430 in the fucking morning and I'm like, something's off. I've talked about this on the pod before, but like, now if I get really drunk, because I'm on to this fuck, like, I'm like, gonna just make, I'm like, hit my stomach until I, like, bomb voyage. And then I'm gonna get back in bed and have a good night. And my head was like, that's what I do, period, bitch, I got up and I tried to handle. And when I threw up, mama, and all the food was gone, which is also like what's been happening to us. Like, we look up and it's like, I'm like, all the food. It's like, baby. Oh. No. I'm literally, remember looking and being like, so what's the fucking problem? No, right. Like, literally, what's the problem? Because it was the type of shit where I literally by the end of the night, I was resting. I've never rested on the toilet. Oh, shit. Yeah. I rested on the toilet and I was literally in the back of my food. No, I need to bring it up because I think it got to the point when we got to the mushrooms where we both looked at each other and we were like, we don't actually eat my, like, I wouldn't touch a mushroom with a 10 foot pole. Let alone, I was deep-throated. It is, yes. No, I was eating the, no, but it wasn't even that because then it was the patatas provas, which I genuinely think the amount of creamy, cream, truffle shit that was on top of all of this. Oh my god. My tongue, when we got to the churros, my tongue was at the philosophy, and it was, and then to tell it, no, the way that we ate the, the churros guys, it was like really scary today. No, I have, like, I have, like, little, like, but don't have me fucking week about the churros is next where everybody got talking about them and like, you think, like, the churros were so good, right? You took some home and I was like, um, I don't know. Wait, why was it? Also, everybody's talking about what we're doing. Like, they knew that we were, we took the churros home, like, like, keep that out of your mouth. It was like NDA, bro, but like, oh, the girls have been peaving it the whole day, like, literally, well, no, and there's like an undertone of, like, nasty Americans, like in this shit, especially the fact that we spent $84, $84 at Taco Bell, like, hey guys, this is an episode sponsored by Squarespace.

Hey guys, we want to take a break to think a sponsor of today's episode DINNER! Benzon Tinder is here to take you from WID to OMW because you can only flirt so much over text. Benzon Tinder is a new feature rolling out to new cities now. It has its own top in the app where you can browse real events happening near you, mark the ones you're interested in, and you can see who else is interested to. So you know the scene before your scene. I mean guys, come on, like this is what you got to be doing, you got to be hitting that tab because genuinely, I can think of so many nights where it's just like, you know, there's a band playing or a specific DJ DJ, or honestly, like karaoke, like just things happening. A collective group going to like an arcade or something of the sort, like that is genuinely so freaking genius because how else are you going to meet the love of your life if it's not at an event that like, you know what I mean? And the WID paralysis in the chat is something so serious when there are plans and you know there are plans out there, but you have no idea where, who, when, what, why? Now you'll know. And I feel like dating aside, it's also nice to make community this way and like whether or not it turns into a romantic connection, it's also just nice to meet like minded people in your city. Like it's genuinely just-- You have to experience it. That's like something fun to do. Totally. Well, it's a built-in conversation starter. You're already doing something you want to do with people who already wanted to be there too. Check in at the event and you'll get an attended badge on your profile. After, you can match with anyone who is interested in the same event. So if you saw someone queue to cross the room and played it cool, well now you've got a second chance. And that's-- Guys. Listen. I've been there and I've done that before. And honestly, this would have saved my life personally. - Yeah. - And if we were gonna go to our dream event, like, where would we go? - Oh my gosh. I mean, honestly, for me, I feel like it would be giving, it would be giving like, either an arcade situation where there's like games or like something going on, or I would say like DJ or concert. - DJ or concert's good. - 'Cause that's like, you know. I think I'm going art gallery. I think I'm going, I mean, we're really lucky in LA to have so many cute little art galleries all around the city, so we don't have to do a giant, huge museum, but a cool little art gallery on the street. And you can go get dinner. Like, that is for me. That's where I'm going. - And you know what, this is giving? - What? - This is giving misconnections. - Right. - This is essentially, this is giving like, it's awesome when cute. And now if it was a misconnection, you can like, reconnect on the top. - Well, because it happens all the time when you go somewhere and someone's fine and you leave and you didn't get any info is insane. - It's worth. - And thank God Tinder's doing something about it. - And you don't have to show up so low.

Download Tinder and discover events today. - God, we went to Taco Bell and God, which we can talk about the whole story, but like the fact that we went to Taco Bell by the time we got back to the club, people were literally coming up to us and being like, "Oh, you guys are the ones that went to Taco Bell?" - Girl. Like the workers were tattling on us, like calling the club two doors down me like, "Oh my God, wait till you all see the semi-truck "of fucking food that people got." - Oh, and everyone just eating like, absolutely decadent, like milk-nourished slam, and we were like, "Mmm, we're gonna go to Taco Bell." - That you rallied the way you did, 'cause I just wanted to describe like, I did not see the girls until the next morning. So they went out for the crawl, I was in bed sleeping, "Mmm, I wake up the next morning, check on her, 'cause Dom text me urgently." - Oh, thank you. - We, I'm literally out, having like a solo day in Spain mind you, 'cause I early burgues the worm. - Right. - I was getting the worm. - Very, very, very, very. - Very, very, very. - But I get the text from Dom, she's like, "We have to help our friend," like she literally like, "We have to go get her water." - I will say, like truly honestly, I'm usually like a pull it up by the boot. Like I'm not like, I'm like, I was walking to him from the back of the like, like I was like turning water and shit on, 'cause I didn't wanna wake you up. - There were a couple. - (laughs) - There were a couple. - Where I literally can't always sit. - Dude, I've never liked being a sound. But I remember one of the times I threw up, I literally went, "Yeah!" - No. - Dog, dog and healing water in the pond, like. - No! - No, and I literally remember because I looked up. - It's like. - I literally looked up and I was like, listening for you, waking up, I was like. - I was like, "Rick Watson there." - I was like, "We, please, bro." - No, no, because you know what that is off though. And like the full circle of this is like, "Oh my God, like wow, guys." The full circle of that is that. When we got to the hotel, there were two water bottles and Dom had a water, of course. And then I was like, "Well, clearly, this is another water bottle." When I woke up and the first time that I was like, "Yeah." I was like, "Okay, I obviously need to drink water." Like I remember that memory and I was like, "I need water, like I need water." Like I look, you need to just like flush my stomach out. Bitch, I opened that water and I started coping it. And it was battery acid sparkly water. (laughing) And honestly, I think that's where it really got sinister. Bitch, 'cause I drink juices and I put it down, I literally said. - Why is this spicy? - I literally was like, "What's the bathroom?" And that's when I had the first yak. The second time was I woke up in the morning. 'Cause she happened to wake up when I was opening the door. And I literally looked at her and I was like, "I'm fighting for my life." - That's cool, like mind you, mind you didn't wake up during. Any of that, like my gonna be better. - I would have been horrified if you woke up like me. - I was in there like Tom Cruise. It's like it was mentioned impossible. Like it was really crazy, girl. - But our door for whatever reason is absolutely loud as day. Like no one's murdering our ass because Jenny is that door. - But nobody's like, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. - I literally kept being like, "Mind you, mind you." I'm going in there and I'm throwing up like, I don't even know. Like imaginary shit. Like I can't even talk about it. But I, because the door was so loud, I was opening the door this big. So I literally go in there and I'm like, and I would be like, like getting to the door. - Getting back in like, first of all, the beds being as close together as you guys are kissing at the middle of the night. - All of our beds are two twin beds pushed together. I'm sleeping in the crack like a mother's womb. Like honey, it is actually refreshing. - With it he is though, and my nose is about me. When I sleep, I stay in one. Like I'm literally back. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm vampiric. I'm literally, and I sleep like a mummy. Like dad, as I sleep on my back, and I don't scare you. - Like I know, it's like fucked up. But literally my, because then you're just like, I'm fighting for my life. And the thing is, when I'm fighting for my life, like genuinely I'm like, like anyone help me, 'cause I'm not about to help myself. Like all literally just go back to bed and like hope that it like happens to hell. But like worse, like we're like LA pieces of shit. - So the front mind you were in like one of the most walkable cities in the world. I, the first thing I do is open up Uber. - No, no, no. - And it's just called, what is it called here? - Or Glova. - Glova. - I've opened up, well I tried to open up Uber. And I was like, fuck, it's Glova. I opened up the like ordering app here. And I'm like, oh, I'm gonna order her a lecture. I take a note order her all this shit. And then it's like, oh, nothing opens till 10. And I was like, baby. - I was like, the only drivers that are out are like a fucking goat with like a wagon. Like honey, there is no one out. - And rarely, like truly, truly, truly, like rarely that's to be like one of three times where I simply was like, I need help. - We need help, but like coming back. - Oh my God, I genuinely, when I tell you it was like, the door had like a like a electromagnetic seal. We opened the village. It's literally like King Tut's tomb in here. It's a dim lighting, whatever. And I see the dust on the floor. I hear, who's here? Like four, like four housekeeping ladies walked in. While I'm butt naked, hair fucked up. - It's true to walk the best. - No off my rocker. - They scared it down. - I literally was like holding the walls. I was like, hey, so they come coming and I was like, no, thank you, no, thank you. - They're back to the mom. - Sorry, sorry. - They scared, no, they put the thing down there. They're really-- - Well, because they kept trying to get myself to get up to put the door vibes like they didn't get up. So every lady that came, I was like that. Must be the last one. - No, they were offensive here. - No, they're very everything. They're really awesome. - Well, the thing is too, you literally were so like, you coming like, no, it's okay, it's okay. I'm just gonna go back to sleep. I'm gonna go back to sleep. But I'm like, girl, we don't have fucking water. We don't like, we literally had nothing like combos. Like we literally had pizza flavored combos to our name, like that's it. And so I like Texas, Tanner, and Andrew. And I was like, please, we need help. (laughing) - Mind you, like, I, the first gulp of water in the way, how I immediately threw it up and also it came out like, oh hell, no. - It came out my nose, like, I looked like that meme. Is it like violent, which is like (laughing) - Yeah. - And that's when I literally laid my head and I played back the memory of the mushrooms. - Yeah. - And I genuinely sat on the toilet and I thought about every single thing that we ate 'cause at that point I was like, this is food poisoning. - Yeah. - And everyone will hear about this. - All your nose hair is gone. - It was food poisoning while I was pet toes down, like walking the streets of LaGro, do you know the next day? - No. - But I was like, it's not food poisoning 'cause like, six glasses of wine would do that to like, literally fucking everyone. - But it just was so, like, it was so decadent. Like, it didn't feel like, like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't aspire for that. Like, that's not my aspiration. It was very accidental and I really felt fine until we got back here. - No, yeah. - And then I was like, oh. - Well, also, I was just like, we had no-what sleep. No sleep, literally, like-- - No water. - We're treated like shit at CDG, no water, no nothing. Like, that was the best-- - How long was the flight again? - 11 hours. - Like, after 11 hours, like, I'm sorry, I just got to go to hell at that point. - Yeah, what I did. - So perfect. - We took it there. - So perfect. - And then, you know, fast forward to our scavenger. - Is it that stop anyone, no. - No, we did like a whole bus down top of the store. Yesterday, oh, yes, we did, of course. - But it was light, I would say that was a light one, but honestly, I was, I was chugging and I was being inappropriate. Like, I mean, you guys, like, it honestly, like, you guys, like, did it to be the big, so serious? Like, I was chugging drinks, like, in a way, that I was like, wait, what's going on? And then, I was like, twerking in the streets of LaGronia. And everyone was like, wait, what's going on? Andrew was like, he's like turning it out. Like, hairspray style. Like, we have people here that are kind of overseeing. It's like the Olympics, like, we have the UK girl, overseeing the UK, we got the US girls.

Summary:

The hosts, Andrew and Tanner, share a detailed and humorous account of their cultural immersion in Spain during a sleepover event, highlighting the stark contrasts between American and Spanish lifestyles. They describe a rich, abundant dining experience at a top-of-store dinner, featuring multiple dishes like octopus, tuna salad, and lamb chops, which overwhelmed their stomachs and challenged their expectations. A central theme is the cultural difference in food and service: Spanish food is presented with transparency and freshness, with meals often sourced directly from farm to table, while Americans are accustomed to fast, convenient, and often processed options.

The hosts also note the absence of water in dining culture, leading to dehydration and discomfort—especially after consuming rich, fatty meals. The experience is further intensified by the slow pace of Spanish life, from long wait times at restaurants to bureaucratic customs at the airport, including a tense, delayed boarding due to a passport system failure. The hosts recount a chaotic airport baggage check where they were stripped of essentials and given only two small plastic bags, leading to frustration and embarrassment.

Despite the challenges, the experience is overwhelmingly positive, offering deep appreciation for the authenticity, hospitality, and cultural honesty of Spain. The episode ultimately serves as a reflective journey, showing how immersion in another culture can expose both personal discomfort and profound growth, especially in understanding how values like time, food, and social connection differ across societies.
