A warning, this episode includes many names and places from Latin America.
And it's probable that our pronunciation isn't correct, since we are neuro-etypical and we don't speak Spanish. I would like to congratulate my co-presenter, who is Polish, for the simple fact of speaking English. Our most sincere apologies to the proud Spanish-speaking peoples of the world.

**Liz** (1:21)
Hello everyone, I'm Liz.

**Brace** (1:22)
Hello. My young Yung Chomsky.

**Liz** (1:25)
I knew that was coming.

**Brace** (1:26)
Eee, eee, eee.

**Liz** (1:28)
This is True Anon. Hello.

**Brace** (1:30)
It's G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G.
It's interesting, a lot of cultures, languages, I guess you could call them, language speakers, have a, they get this guy, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. In English, if I do that, it makes me sound like I'm like plodding something. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's a bit of a-

**Liz** (1:48)
Yeah, it's more evil.

**Brace** (1:49)
Who was the crazy little man who loved rats, the movie? You know?

**Liz** (1:54)
What?

**Brace** (1:55)
He was like a crazy guy who loved rats. He had rats every- It was like Joe's apartment but for rats.

**Liz** (2:00)
You mean the- What's his name movie?

**Brace** (2:03)
They made a Crispin Glover remake of the movie.

**Liz** (2:05)
That's what I was thinking of.

**Brace** (2:06)
Yeah. But you know what I'm saying?

**Liz** (2:09)
What's it called?

**Brace** (2:09)
It's like Wilbur or something like that.

**Liz** (2:10)
I was going to say Wilbur, but it's not Wilbur.

**Brace** (2:12)
It's not Wilbur. They wouldn't have had that guy. It's Wilco.

**Liz** (2:16)
No, it's not.

**Brace** (2:17)
It's like, what is it? It's something like that. He loved those rats, but that to me, whatever is it? Willard.

**Liz** (2:24)
You know what? You know what I love? Everyone at home listening to this, everyone at home who's like some fucking asshole with a mustache and some glasses, is like, Willard, Willard, Willard, you It's fucking Willard, dude.

**Brace** (2:38)
If I had a podcast, I'd be like, Willard.

**Liz** (2:40)
I'd be like, Willard. I And you know what? That's why you don't have a podcast, because we just did a tight five on Wilbur.

**Brace** (2:47)
Wilbur. Willard. Willard's a kind name for a man so invested in his rat collection.
You know what I mean? If I met a Willard on the street, I'd be like, this guy probably has like a broom at home.

**Liz** (2:59)
You wouldn't think he was a rat man.

**Brace** (3:01)
No. Just to get things out of the way, I've been drinking.

**Liz** (3:11)
Yeah. What have you been drinking?

**Brace** (3:13)
Champagne.

**Liz** (3:14)
Okay.

**Brace** (3:15)
Because, but alcoholically, because I'm in the mixture between two things right now. One is I had a really wonderful night where I cried a lot and there was a wedding.

**Liz** (3:28)
Oh, uh-huh.

**Brace** (3:29)
And so I'm both celebrating, but also relapsing.

**Liz** (3:33)
Sure.

**Brace** (3:34)
Because Taylor is now...

**Liz** (3:37)
You're sad about it.

**Brace** (3:39)
She's just the most beautiful woman in the world.

**Liz** (3:42)
I have to ask you, how was the buffet?

**Brace** (3:47)
Well, I went with Ariana and obviously...
Table for... Wait, how can I...

**Liz** (3:53)
I love that. Every episode, we got to do an Ariana eating disorder joke, which is totally awful by the way. Wait, she has an eating disorder?

**Brace** (4:04)
I thought she was just beautiful. But, you know, I didn't per se go in the building of the wedding when it was occurring between the two.

**Liz** (4:16)
Well, because of the standing order.

**Brace** (4:18)
Of course, because of the standing order. And the champagne was mostly drunk entirely at home.

**Liz** (4:27)
No, you were just at that bar underneath Madison Square Garden in Penn Station.

**Brace** (4:32)
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

**Liz** (4:34)
With all the, all your friends.

**Brace** (4:36)
Click, flip, flipping open my revolver, clicking it shut again, flipping it open, clicking it shut again. No, I was just in Hudson Yards as I'm wanting to do, just chilling, you know, and I did think about going up that little crazy structure they had there right when I thought they would be tying the knot and taking a little dive, but I got too scared of heights.
I can't believe we weren't invited to the wedding.

**Liz** (5:03)
Well, everyone else was.

**Brace** (5:05)
Exactly.

**Liz** (5:07)
Go Bulls.

**Brace** (5:10)
You know, she had... Do you think that if if Taylor Swift got married in 1942, we'd have like one guy from like Spear would go?

**Liz** (5:19)
Yeah. I just am like, what was the theme? I feel like what was the theme of the wedding to you?
