"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Ok since I heard this story secondhand I asked for more details:

-not her first time outside the US but her first time in England
-this was specifically in London
-the lecture about digestion came from her sister (American living in London) not the waiter but he did pause like it was an insane request and then came back with one large ice cube held with a pair of tongs which is a bizarre detail I was previously unaware of

American gets one bit of back chat off of a waiter and loses their mind. No wonder your empire is dying.

Waiters who work at fancier, more expensive restaurants don't deserve the ridiculous increase in tips over what an inexpensive or chain restaurant waiter gets

There aren't a lot of redeeming qualities to any of the characters in this story, are there?

when i asked for ice in my cabernet and ketchup for my filet, the lovely eurotrash parisian waiter called me a hamburger pigdog and then went on a two-hour mandatory smoke break

First of all, I would and will never apologize for politely requesting an ice cold drink to go with my lovely overcooked steak :patriot:

Second of all, conflating the British with Europeans as a whole is frankly disgusting and you should all be ashamed

It’s of course excellent but Americans don’t like it because we don’t do fake pleasantries enough for the average oafish midwesterner and do not tip, ever.

The IMDB page for 57 seconds does not list a character named Ingraham, and searching for 57 Seconds Ingraham only brings up the Chapo episode. I think they imagined that character.

I watched the trailer, and there was no glowy blue cyborg tattoo guy. There were a few shots of Josh Hutcherson talking to Morgan Freeman in an empty room though :tinfoil:

Threw me through a loop when I decided to go ahead and watch The Crazies as part of catching up on Romero stuff after they mentioned it on the podcast and they really mixed up the ending.
