BC: [cuts in] Well, I took the free tram.
Iha: No. No, you didn’t. Heh heh heh.
BC: From our hotel, I took the free tram into the city.
Iha: Yeah? What happened?
BC: And then I walked all the way down into the valley.
Iha: Did you get beaten up?
BC: No. It’s a safe country.
Iha: Alright.
BC: But here’s the kicker on the story.
Iha: Alright, alright.
BC: So, as the shops were closing and it was getting dark...
Iha: Yes.
BC: ...we tried to call an Uber.
Iha: What’s that?
BC: It’s this, uh -- anyway....
Iha: It’s a ride sharing service.
BC: (laughing) You have shares in Uber?
Iha: I-I, heh...that’s a sidebar but I do not, I do not.
BC: And um, no Uber would come to get us. And I was stranded in the valley at night.
Iha: Goddammit! Darn it.
BC: And so, my friend went into this bar...in the valley...
Iha: In the valley.
BC: ...and this guy came out and said, “I’ll give you a ride.”
Iha: And you said, “I can’t do that, sir.”
BC: No, I got in this guy’s car that I never met.
Iha: A fine Luxembourgian man...
BC: Right?
Iha: ...who took you home.
BC: Very handsome, very well educated.
Iha: Right.
BC: Working at the bar. And so he’s driving us back to the hotel.
Iha: Does this story have a point?
BC: Heh heh ha ha! No.
Iha: Okay. Well, no, it -- the point is it’s a nice--
BC: No, hold on.
Iha: Okay, sorry, I was--
BC: Then once he’s driving us back to the hotel, he says, “Why are you here?” He didn’t know who I was, he just offered to give us a ride because he was being nice!
Iha: “You Americans are lost, you obviously need to go....”
BC: And he said -- I said, “I’m playing a concert.” He said, “Are you famous?”
Iha: No.
BC: And I said yes. And he goes, “Well, I never heard of your band...”
Iha: You’re screwed.
BC: “...but I’m into ‘90s hip hop.”
Iha: Okay, yeah, I see that.
BC: He had a ponytail.
Iha: Alright. We’re gonna get right back to the music now. We love music.
BC: So I wanna dedi -- wait. Hold on.
Iha: (laughing) Okay.
BC: That’s his nice way of just telling me to shut the fuck up.
Iha: No, no, no, I like this story.
BC: All I want to say is whoever that young man is or was, I want to thank him and thank you for being so nice to us tonight. We’d now like to play a song for you that goes back to 1992. From the See-a-meese Dream album. Heh heh heh. You know this one? [cuts]
