Speaker 1: from Guys We Fucked, the anti sledge shaming podcast, and
Speaker 1: you're about to hear an excerpt from today's interview with
Speaker 1: guest com meeting Carmen Lynch and if you're interested in
Speaker 1: listening to the entire interview in the back catalog of
Speaker 1: Guys We Fucked, as well as a bunch of other
Speaker 1: amazing shows by Trevor Noah, Roxanne Gay, Russell Brand, Michael Rappaport,
Speaker 1: head on over to Luminary Podcasts dot com. We're always
Speaker 1: like yes or no, not just like this is how
Speaker 1: to do it responsibly? Well, that's right, so crazy because
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up in Spain, and in Spain
Speaker 1: you can drink at a younger age, but you don't
Speaker 1: drink you know that much. You just drink, and you
Speaker 1: don't drink in excess, right because it's not withheld from you.
Speaker 1: It's not withheld from you. You learn to have respect
Speaker 1: for alcohol as a young and then you go to
Speaker 1: college and you're just like do upside down keg hits
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, it's just how long were you
Speaker 1: in Spain? Bad? Um? I grew. I was there until
Speaker 1: I was eight. Then we moved to the States. But
Speaker 1: then I would go every summer and I still go
Speaker 1: every summer to visit my sister and you know, I
Speaker 1: have her family. And take an idea that Spain is
Speaker 1: just these like women in red dresses dance hot sexy men.
Speaker 1: It's I see, that's how I see like Italy, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but Spain, the South of Spain, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: like that. Like city is very like Flamenco and and
Speaker 1: they make their own wine. And you know, when I
Speaker 1: grew up, it was like bullfighting and guitar playing on
Speaker 1: the streets and all that. But I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of but we went to a lot of bullfighting.
Speaker 1: It was what what was is just a guy with
Speaker 1: a cape getting getting a giant step to a bull
Speaker 1: to run through it. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they
Speaker 1: would be like it's more than that, but basically that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Like they're in really tight pants and
Speaker 1: they like had these moves like these kind of you know,
Speaker 1: very flirtatious. I'm really sexy. It's funny. They're like, I'm
Speaker 1: so sexy and you want to fuck me? And uh
Speaker 1: and they're like this tiny. These men are so tiny,
Speaker 1: and maybe it just makes the bull look bigger. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's it seem as like a jockey too,
Speaker 1: and I think ye, so, like you know, smaller people
Speaker 1: tend to move faster, and like you have to move
Speaker 1: like a like usually like a really tall guy isn't
Speaker 1: like the fastest runner because there's too much Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why we're not We're not gymnasts. We're too tall. You know,
Speaker 1: all people are just better at other things. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and then they just hold like the red cape, the
Speaker 1: red piece of material that you know that attracts the bull.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. They like read and they go
Speaker 1: through the thing and everybody just goes, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: is it is Spain more of a sexual culture in America?
Speaker 1: You know that's funny because a lot of times when
Speaker 1: I talked to some of my Spanish guy friends, they're like,
Speaker 1: I love American women. They're so open in bed and
Speaker 1: they're so open sexually. I've heard a lot of countries
Speaker 1: say that about American women. Actually, yeah, but then you
Speaker 1: watch like commercials in Spain or just ads, and it's
Speaker 1: like women are topless the beach and there's like a
Speaker 1: cookie commercial and she's barely wearing a thing. You know,
Speaker 1: your Europe is very um, they don't. The nudity is
Speaker 1: not a big deal. Yeah, I feel like it's not
Speaker 1: sexualis the way like the female form is here, it's
Speaker 1: more like artistic or beautiful or like certainly worse like
Speaker 1: here it's just like, oh yeah, you're the less clothes
Speaker 1: you wear, it's assumed that you're bloodier. But if a country,
Speaker 1: if a culture, is more comfortable with nudity, then it's
Speaker 1: not as salacious. So it's just a lady with her
Speaker 1: titties hanging out trying to sell you some cookies. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: which I guess works. I don't know, um, but but uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I was saying. I didn't say
Speaker 1: Spain being a more sexual culture, but they're just more
Speaker 1: Do you feel like there's any part of your personality
Speaker 1: that is different having you know, spent the first eight
Speaker 1: years of your life in Spain because you had that
Speaker 1: non American childhood. I don't know if it's personality more
Speaker 1: than um, just the way I speak. Like sometimes it's
Speaker 1: so hard for me to articulate what I want to
Speaker 1: say because I feel like the other side is kind
Speaker 1: of say, trying to say something in a different language. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like do you unless do you speak anything else? I
Speaker 1: speak a little Catalan, which is what they speak, you know,
Speaker 1: in Barcelona, but I can understand it perfectly, but I
Speaker 1: don't speak it, like I don't speak it well, you know,
Speaker 1: like I can understand and men in Spain have Now
Speaker 1: that's um, that's that's Spain. Yeah, kind of like yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It's cute. I think it's cute. In Madrid
Speaker 1: they have more of a like they don't even say
Speaker 1: mad they you know, they end stuff with the thh.
Speaker 1: And I it's very sexy. Um dated men from Spain.
Speaker 1: I dated a guy from Spain for a while and um,
Speaker 1: and it's funny, like, you know, guy people always like
Speaker 1: other languages. So for me, I was like, just speak
Speaker 1: in Spanish. I think that's hot. And he's like, well
Speaker 1: you speaking in English, and I'm like, it's not that
Speaker 1: hot at all. But I remember when I would visit
Speaker 1: my my cousins in my early twenties, you know, and
Speaker 1: we would go like clubbing to bars in Barcelona just
Speaker 1: even I didn't even try, but just having a little
Speaker 1: bit of an accent made made people talk to me more. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh uh to their on a survice
Speaker 1: He's like, there's an American. Yeah, And then I was like,
Speaker 1: did I just do that for like? It's just fun
Speaker 1: to pretending to someone else? You know, yes it is.
Speaker 1: And I know you've you've done like you've done stand up?
Speaker 1: Have you done a full special in Spanish or just
Speaker 1: like shows in Spanish I've done, um shows, I haven't
Speaker 1: done a special, but I've done like long sets right,
Speaker 1: because I was like, so obviously you're translating the words,
Speaker 1: but like, are any of your jokes different in Spanish
Speaker 1: or you just keep the same exact act because I
Speaker 1: know sometimes you know, hum, you know, communic sensibilities country
Speaker 1: by country differ, so um, it's totally it's different. Well,
Speaker 1: like they don't get or at least the subtle stuff,
Speaker 1: because I can be very subtle. They don't get that
Speaker 1: that just goes. I mean Spanish comics will get it.
Speaker 1: But the audience is like, huh, that's so funny because
Speaker 1: to me that's like having watched out so much of
Speaker 1: who you are on so like, how do you how
Speaker 1: do you think that? I mean, it has to be
Speaker 1: like like, um, very generic like dating. Of course, everyone
Speaker 1: dates all over the world, so they get that or
Speaker 1: you know my boyfriend, or or I'm so tall that
Speaker 1: you know, like stuff like that, or you know my family,
Speaker 1: you know, basic stuff like that. But if i'm if
Speaker 1: I'm just doing something that's like clever and subtle, it's
Speaker 1: like lost in translation. Yeah, it's comedian a big career
Speaker 1: in Spain. Are there like tons of comedy clubs or
Speaker 1: it is now it's not really comedy clubs, Like I
Speaker 1: mostly performed in Barcelona and they're more like restaurants with
Speaker 1: rooms or theaters. But you're you don't see a comedy
Speaker 1: seller so much. I mean they have one actually that
Speaker 1: in Madrid that is supposed to be really good, but
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I haven't. I haven't been to
Speaker 1: Madrid in a while. But it is. It's becoming a
Speaker 1: really big thing, and there's a ton every time I go.
Speaker 1: There's like a lot more everywhere I go now, like
Speaker 1: even um, you know, if if I do a gig
Speaker 1: in like Switzerland, you know, you're like where all these
Speaker 1: comics coming from there? Everywhere? Yeah, they're like roaches, they're
Speaker 1: just multiplying. So quickly. There's more and more every year.
Speaker 1: It's like podcasts. Yes, um, what about I wanted to
Speaker 1: I want to go back to sex um for a
Speaker 1: moment um. Do you have any um sex memorable? Sex
Speaker 1: fails like you try to do something in it came
Speaker 1: crashing and burning? Remember a long time ago? I, Um,
Speaker 1: I fell asleep during sex and that's I got so mad.
Speaker 1: How long were you sleep for? No, it was it
Speaker 1: wasn't like I was asleep. It was just one of
Speaker 1: those like and he saw oh yeah, so he wasn't
Speaker 1: going down on you. No no, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: I fell asleep. Yeah. It's like it was very late,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah. I mean I was like, this is
Speaker 1: not my fault. It's like three am. I've been drinking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you've been drinking. It's very hard once those lights
Speaker 1: go off not to not off. And I'm not like
Speaker 1: and it was a boyfriend, so he shouldn't know, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It wasn't like a random guy.
Speaker 1: And then also, um, I tend to be a morning person,
Speaker 1: not by choice, Like I'll get up really early sometimes,
Speaker 1: so so for me to stay up late and after
Speaker 1: drinking and just having a crazy day, that's just probably
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Yeah, what's it like being a
Speaker 1: morning person and a comedian in because I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I can't like when shortly, I can't. I never get
Speaker 1: home before midnight, and mid that's an early night for me.
Speaker 1: I mean now, now I get up. Now, I go
Speaker 1: to sleep around one or one thirty. Um, and if
Speaker 1: I get eight hours, yeah, I'm up by nine most
Speaker 1: nine to nine thirty. That's impressed. I feel like I
Speaker 1: just did. I deserve an award. Thank you so much
