Springtimes

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]
