2:32:09 But the new people would come in, and there'll be a, no, like a, you know, a signifier. Like, oh, they're not really one of those. Not really that. And doing it all wrong. And to hear more examples of this, let's get into Wasp Lessons 2. They're extremely modest people. They never show off. And they're more. likely to have a small house than a large one. We have the historic house. We have the threadbare oriental carpets. We have everything you need to be upper class. Mercedes. Old Mercedes. Not new Mercedes. Nothing after 89.
2:32:50 Wasps love to party. And they like to drink for free. Sample class is extremely relaxed. You never wear too many pearls. Wear Gucci shoes, but wear them to death. Wear them out. And wear them during the summer with no socks. Maddress pants. Maddress pants. A lot of people wear maddress pants. I mean, you know, the great joke about wasps. Why don't they have any cockroaches in their house? There's nothing to eat. Nothing to eat in my house. We all starve by dinner time. Is that a thing? Like, enlighten me. This is why I look, Adam, I always say this.
2:33:33 You're one of the few only real white people I know. Yeah. Okay. I hope you take that the way I mean it. What I mean by is, like you said, you're Anglo-Saxon property. You came from. Of course. No, I'm just saying because like you just said, oh, yeah, we went to Austria the ski. And I'm like, what? It's always like the nonchalantness you say that. So is this no food in the house? Is that a thing? Like, do wasps not keep groceries? Well, let me address the Austrian ski trip first. Yeah. In all of Europe, but certainly in the Netherlands,
2:34:14 there's two types of holidays. One is you go camping in the summer or you go to the south of France and you drive. You all drive. Or you have winter sport, which is actually, hey, what are you doing for this? Going on winter sport. And most people will drive. We actually took the train each year, which was sleeper train. So it sounds a lot better than it is. No, but it's like it was like, I was like, wow, I was like, Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. Buffy, we went to Salamse, Salam Silla for when we went skiing. Oh, yes.
2:34:54 Shushing down the mountain. Oh, yes, I've got my gold ski with medal from class. We would always say, She-Hile, She-Hile, She-Hile. I'm not kidding. Only wasps know for me. So, no food in the house. This is interesting. I can't say that. Not because you laughed. I'm just struck a core with you. Well, I laughed for a whole bunch of reasons. Of course, I have a wasp upbringing, but
2:35:35 gosh, that's really, I mean, we probably didn't have it. It was all kind of measured, you know? It's like, here's what there is, and don't touch that. And, you know, it wasn't like. It was all planned out. Yeah, it was planned out. Yes. Although what's interesting is mainly because of my first wife's mother, so my mother-in-law, who is still with us, she's now 94. And they stayed with us a lot. And they all went through the hunger winter in World War II.
2:36:12 You know, they got bombed out of their homes in Rotterdam. And her husband would ride on a bicycle with wooden tires for 50 kilometers up to get one sugar beet. And they'd make soup out of rocks and nettles. And so. I love that privilege. Right. And so I think she, because I was married very young, so I think a lot of her influence rubbed off on me. I am always the guy who has, if you're coming over to dinner and you also brought two friends, no problem. I got enough. If the kids are over, especially if the kids are around, I'm hungry. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Here's all this stuff I got. Because that was kind of the environment that I was put in.
2:36:57 But in the Netherlands in general, very Calvinist. So, you know, like super Protestant, really waspy when you think about it. Very sparse. You know, you have one piece of, you know, you have two pieces of bread with cheese and butter in the morning. It's always fish on Friday, and it's always measured. And yeah, no, no abundance of food. Measured, I guess is what I'd call it. But no food. food. Yeah, it is, maybe. And I think that's the triggering of Trump. Now we get back to the troll, right? To you know, the trolling of Trump, the gold ceilings, having your own airplane, you know, the braggadocious nature.
2:37:42 All these are counter-wasp. If you listen to what she's said, they were like, it's pretty much a Mercedes. It's pretty much hip-hop culture, is what it is. Yeah, but see, like you said, you drive a Mercedes, but nothing over 89. Oh, Mercedes, right? You know, that kind of thing. Or you wear Gucci shoes, but you got to wear them out. That was me. I always had like, hey, hey, cool car, man. Yeah, you like it? Yeah, at a Rolls-Royce. I bought it in 89. It was from 79. It only had 5,000 miles on it, but still, it was like, it was not the brand new spanking Continental at the time.
2:38:21 It was the Silver Shadow 2. So yeah, is that because it signifies a certain, I mean, I guess they do that because it's part of being a WASP is you have to be like modest with it. You know, you don't talk about money. Oh, no. No, I wanted the $250,000 version. I couldn't afford it. So I'll settle for this. Oh, so you were more hip-hop. You were more. I am way hip-hop. Way hip-hop. I was the first person anyone at MTV had ever seen who had a mobile phone in my briefcase, you know, the big VHS-size phone. People be like, I'm like, hey, man. Yeah. Oh, I had all that, Moe. I had all that stuff. I was first, first, first, first, first.
2:39:06 We call that being geeky. And that's when this. But the roller, no, because I had my leather jacket on with my headbangers ball hair in the Rolls-Royce, driving into New York every single day. Get your cell phone in your briefcase. And I had the gray coupon in the dashboard in case someone asked, which happened a lot. So, yeah. Yeah. I was kind of hip-hop, I guess. Well, in these next few clips, I know everybody's worried about the WASP. They're in a dangerous species, but have no fear. There is a WASP conservation effort going on. Oh, thank goodness.
