Today's guest 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.639 is an international sensation who started his basketball career in 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.159 his home country of Spain before making the move to 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.560 play college ball in the US at Loyola Marynott. He's 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.599 one of the hottest young players on the Grizzlies. And 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:27.400 today we have Santy al Dam. Okay. So, Santy, I'm 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.440 sixteen and I'm in tenth grade, and I think you're 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.760 the youngest player I've ever interviewed, which is pretty exciting 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.519 because usually when I ask this question, I say, what 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.680 were you like when you were sixteen? I take people 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.880 like way back, but for you, this was only six 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.239 years ago, so this is like very like fresh in 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:44.800 your mind. So I know, like you're gonna have the 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.400 best answers for this. So, Santy, what were you like 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:48.199 when you were sixteen? 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:49.360 Well? I was. 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.639 I was still tall and not that tall, like six 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.520 y two or so, was even skinnier. And I don't know, 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.720 I was a pretty responsible kid, but you know, just 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.640 having fun back home, and I don't know, I was different. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.120 Life was way easier, definitely. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.480 Yeah, I'm sure. And growing up in Spain, I know 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.000 your dad and your uncle played professional basketball, but with 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.000 soccer your favorite sport or you just like always loved basketball. 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.320 Not always basketball, but I used to play soccer all 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.240 the time, like in the playground and stuff. And I 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.160 feel like everybody plays soccer in Spain, like yeah, even 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.840 if you don't like it that much, like I like 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.200 watching it playing like I was not that. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.479 Good, okay. I feel like you're a little too tall. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.720 Yeah, I'm a bit too. I would just like post 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.440 people up and just tried to score around them. It 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:30.960 was it was weird, but it worked for me. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.280 Okay. I'm a little offended that you haven't talked about 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.600 how much like shirt says Barcelona yet, because, like, you know, 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.240 I was doing that because you're from Spain to like 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.280 represent But it's fine, it's whatever. But which which LaLiga 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:42.160 team did you support? 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.000 Las Palmas, which actually they just lost to Barcelona. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.640 Today, Okay, but weren't they up like two zero. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.040 At half time or some Yeah, they were up one 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.360 zero and one zero then they came back. 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:52.800 It was her. I was watching it on the way 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:53.800 here and it okay, so. 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.680 That's why you don't like my Barcelona ya, Okay, that 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:57.560 was such a bad choice. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:57.800 Mom. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.280 I shouldn't have done that. Okay. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.680 So you were saying at sixteen you were six two. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.200 About six two six three? Yeares? 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.360 So then how quick I don't get it, you just 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.000 like shot up to seven foot one day? 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.200 Well, actually, yeah, I know. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.600 Maybe I was like six three when I was fifteen, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.720 and it was just like from where year to another 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.960 like five inches, and then from then like the next 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.320 year it was another five inches. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:18.560 Yeah. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.920 So I remember with the national team, they will just 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.000 like measure you every summer, And when I got back 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.000 the summer, I was like seventeen, they measured me twice 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.440 because they couldn't believe how much. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.160 I agree, they thought they missed something up. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:31.400 And how tall are your parents? 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.639 My dad's seven feet and my mom's like five eleven, okay, so. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:35.520 This is expected. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.440 Yeah, it is two siblings, Yeah, a little brother. And 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.560 how tall he He's like six. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.959 Six okay, But is he still growing. 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.160 Or oh no, I feel grow he hopes he's still growing. 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.799 Whatever your brother's name is, I hope for him that 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.680 he's still growing. So usually I like to ask players 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.080 this question where I'm like, when you were sixteen, what 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.720 during AU did you play against any other NBA players? 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.959 But knowing that your situation was a little different being 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.400 in Europe, being in Spain, did you have the opportunity 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.560 to play against any other up and coming NBA players? 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.160 I mean I played under eighteen, so it was the 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.840 day before the year before I went to college against 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:17.040 Shannggoon from the Rockets. I played with Garuba from the Warriors. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.959 I don't know if I if I played against anybody else. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.920 I know I played against Well, I didn't play. I 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.760 was way too young. I was fourteen. There were sixteen 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.680 against Lucas team, but obviously he was too good. He 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.320 was playing with the pro team already. So yeah, I 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.080 don't know. I probably played against somebody else, but I forget. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.400 Now, okay, okay, And when did you go to your 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.560 first was your first game that you'd been to the 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.560 first game you played in? Yeah, that's crazy. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.320 Yeah, I mean I had only been in the US 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.760 for college. Really, yeah, i'd never been. Well, I'm my 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:46.480 official visit. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.120 That was it. I knew nothing about it. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.800 In speaking of that, I know you had offered from 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.200 Barcelona or Real Madrid. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:52.000 What was it like? 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.720 What was can you take us through sort of that 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.880 decision going like the NCAA route and then also going 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.720 to Maryland. You know, like that's not probably Spain the 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.880 example of what you think about when you think about America. 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.640 Yeah, yeah, it was. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.520 It was a long process obviously, like you know, proteins 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.840 recruit pretty hard in Europe. But like, I don't know, 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.000 I felt like I was in my high school team. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.000 Like the like the stuff that we got going on 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.600 there was easy and and I mean I never saw 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.440 any benefit to go into a protein And then when 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.280 I had to make the decision, I was like, well 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.720 should I go to dance double A? I wanted to study, 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.719 and I was like, you know sometimes in Europe they 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.560 don't give you the opportunity when you're that young. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.560 I was like, all right, let me go. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.760 And I knew this assistant coaches with the Raptors now, 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.840 Ivo Simovich. He I mean we're super close now, and 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.280 I just decided to go to Loyola Maryland with him, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.840 and I mean he like it's a small school. Obviously 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.200 I had other offers, but I mean it was it 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.039 was great for me. My first year I got there, 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.719 Uh you know, then we had COVID, So it's like 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.080 I feel like everything's like a blur, but it was. 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.400 It was super good and that's something I'll never regret. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.960 Yeah, I love it. You went a different path. That's 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.040 so cool. And when you got to Maryland, what was 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.039 your biggest culture shock. What was the biggest difference you 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.240 saw between Spain and Maryland. 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.400 Oh, I mean, for sure, the time out which people 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.960 eat dinner. Like in Spain, I would eat dinner like 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.880 nine ten, and we had to eat dinner at six 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.680 And I remember, like the whole whatever, it would close 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.720 like super early, so I was not hungry at the 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.760 time we were eating dinner, so we have to eat 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:27.599 without being hungry. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.680 And then I like tens that's when you can bulk up. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.960 Yeah, it worked right, but then everything closed, so like 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.720 I had to figure out ways of getting food. I'm 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.240 a terrible cook. Actually I'm not even a cooker, Like 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.000 I don't. You can't cook anything anything like well, chicken 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.080 or rice. That's the only thing I can. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.040 Okay, to be fair, I can't even do that. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.359 So that's better than Oh yeah, I had to do 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:46.640 it for survival purposes. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.280 But now I'm good. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.560 I love it now. This is my last question about you. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.719 When you were sixteen, I'm very curious about this. Did 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.600 you know that Memphis existed when you were sixteen? 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.600 I mean I did because of power Mark. Yeah that's 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.000 the only reason. If not, Like, I had never thought 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.039 about Memphis, and when I got drafted, I was like, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.360 well that's cool, but like I didn't know much about 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:07.640 the city. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.720 If I'm being honest, can you explain, like what when 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.680 you got drafted, Like were you scared or like, this 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.080 is this place that I've never been. I didn't really 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.120 know like existed, you know, Yeah. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.320 It was it was cool because I mean I didn't 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.960 know much about Memphis, like I said, but like I 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.640 knew Spanish players had been there and we've it has 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.760 like the Spanish back background or whatever. So I was like, 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.679 it's cool because at least people will know like Spanish 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:29.760 culture in some type of way. 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.080 So I was more relieved in that sense. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.800 But yeah, it was definitely definitely weird going to somewhere 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.919 I had never even like been to or like heard of. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.479 Yeah, I'm sure that's crazy. So now let's move on 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.080 to you and your NBA career. What was your welcome 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:42.919 to the League moment? 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.360 I mean probably I probably have a couple, but I 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.280 would say my second year. That's really the first time 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.520 I started playing like real minutes against the nets. It 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.320 was like early on in the in like the season, 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.719 and I had to guard KD for like four possessions, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.039 and literally he scored the four possessions. And I was like, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.040 you know, you tried to get players to shoot the 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.559 mid range. Shock is probably like the least efficient, or 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.000 that's what they say, but like, I mean, not with KD. Definitely, 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.320 you try to deny him and make sure he doesn't 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.520 touch the ball, and he just scored four straight. Coach 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.040 ca all the time. I was like all right, Like 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.440 I literally I remember asking one of my guys like, yo, 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:22.120 what can I do. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.720 He's like nothing, nothing, yeah, and so okay. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.560 So a little birdie showed me a picture of you 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.640 when I think you were about like ten or eleven maybe, 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.120 and you took a picture with Derrick Rose, who is 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.880 now your teammate on the Grizzlies. Like, can you take 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.600 me through that, because I cannot imagine telling whatever eleven 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.880 year old Saunty that that guy that you were taking 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.280 a picture with as a fan is now your teammate. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.320 Yeah, that was crazy. And I remember when we signed 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.320 him the first thing. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.120 I think. I think it was my mom or my aunt. 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.320 They send it in the family group chat and I 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.240 couldn't believe it because I look crazy, like super young. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.000 I was there with my cousin some friends, and I 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.240 was really Derek, like, you know, there was the team 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.960 USA in the Islands, and I showed it to Derek actually, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.040 and he thought it was super cool. But really, I 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.160 mean at that moment, if you remember, I mean he 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.000 definitely didn't remember, but he remembered being in Spain spending 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.880 time there. But like, if you would have told me 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.680 that day that I was going to be there one day, 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.679 I would I would have thought you crazy. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.400 I'm going to use the term for my English class, 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.720 which is foreshadowing because I noticed when I saw that picture, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.680 I was like, first off, that's crazy, like that's literally 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.680 something written in the movie. And then we'll put the 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.400 picture up. But a kid standing next to you is 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.880 wearing a Steph Curry jersey, and I'm just just thinking 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.160 about how cool that is. Not only the Derek Rosers 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.840 in the photo, but that also like just shows how 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.240 cool your progression was that he went from a fan 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.640 all the way in Spain and now an NBA player 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:42.880 here in America. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.120 Yeah, I mean, like you said, it's pretty cool because 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.679 I remember my first NBA jersey was Apocastault like Laker jersey, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.000 and I got to experience his retirement ceremony. So I 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.880 mean that is like a full circle moment that it's crazy. 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:56.240 To think about. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.120 And I know you're close with Pow. Can you take 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.160 us through a little bit of your mentorship like type relationship. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.440 Yeah, I mean I haven't spoken with him that much, 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.160 but like obviously, as a Spanish kid growing up, if 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.520 you look up to someone, it's probably power and like 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.360 he's one of the reasons I've enjoyed basketball so much. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.480 Obviously his time in the NBA, uh, you know, his 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.640 Hispanish kid. You watch it as much as much as 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.560 you can, but it's at like two three am, so 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.079 it's not great sometimes that my mum will get mad 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.520 at me if I tried to watch the NBA game. 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.160 But obviously with the national team, he's he's one of 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.400 the best ever and and just watching him every day 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.719 was huge for me. And obviously getting to talk to 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.040 him and meet him and then see everybody you know, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:36.880 praising him for his career as me. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.040 Yeah, for me, that's so special. So earlier, I know 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.040 you talked about how hard it was to guard KD. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.000 But I'm curious, who's the hardest player you've had to 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.120 guard that was extremely unexpected? 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:48.720 Unexpected? 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.959 That's a tough one because I feel like if you're 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.959 tough to guard, like you know it, you know it's tough. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.199 But I don't know. Let me let me let me think. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.360 H I mean, I don't know if it's unexpected, but 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.160 I'll say, like Steven Adams, like in practice, I remember 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.160 my first day, I tried to box him out and 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:10.760 he literally threw me to the ground. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.400 It's awkward, man, Like what can you do? 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.480 I know, but he threw me to the ground. I'm like, 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.160 you really didn't have to do that. It was first 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.600 NBA practice. But he was like, yeah, welcome, and that's 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:20.680 you're welcome to the league. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.199 Look at you answering questions from before, like going back, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.280 welcome to the league. Love it. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.520 Okay, So here's my question. 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.679 We all know the movie Hustle right where Wancho Hernangomez 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.920 stars in this movie directed by Lebron with Adam Sandler, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.280 Like this is a full on Hollywood production and they 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.160 picked a Spanish basketball player to be the star. Did 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.560 you try out for the movie and not get the part? 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.880 No, I don't know when they started I was. I 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.600 don't think I was in the NBA, But I don't know. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.400 I think he's probably better at the acting than I am. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.200 So so he got it, But. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.320 So you don't think you could have done it. 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.040 I want to try one day. I want to act 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.319 one day. But obviously I think he got that part. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:58.120 He did a good job. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.000 Hustle Part two for an Oscar. I can feel it. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.760 I can feel it. Okay, So I know you, right, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.360 we know you, we know your stats, but let us 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.720 know a fun fact about you that we probably don't know. 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.320 M that's a tough question. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.760 I asked tough questions. That's like Sloan nose, you know. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:22.120 Yeah, I mean I played golf, I played the office 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.440 a kid. I mean, not a lot, just with my 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.200 like my cousin, I was never good. I'm not good, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.960 but I'm really trying now and I want to. I 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.400 want to get to a point where the day I retire, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.559 I'm good enough to like, like play like mid level tournaments. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:43.120 Wow, that's such high aspirations. Yeah, that's why I mean, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.040 clearly NBA players have done it. Like Steph's a really 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:46.560 good golfer. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.679 Yeah, he's really good. I don't know if you don't 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:49.800 think you're going to reach that point. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.720 No, no, close enough, Okay, cool, I have faith in you. 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.000 Maybe we'll I've never like really played, but maybe we'll 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:55.559 like go out. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.000 Yeah, maybe you can do like a golf podcast. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.760 At that point, and that'd be great and you could 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.480 be my first guests your career. Love it. Okay, can 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.959 you name me your top three favorite American foods? 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.720 I don't know, Probably burger that's the easiest. Wings, I'll 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.240 say Old Bay Wings. That's like I heard its like 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:15.920 from Maryland. 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:17.839 Okay, not familiar, but. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.720 Yeah, I mean I tried to have them somewhere else, 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.520 but like they didn't have like in Maryland. I would 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.720 like destroy them every day, and but I haven't found 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.480 it ever, and I don't know I can give you 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.880 a I couldn't even tell you it's fine. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.440 I feel like Americans like food is a weird cuisine 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:35.120 because it's. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.800 Like just like that food, you know what, I probably 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.000 like stealing. 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.000 Exactly, yeah, exactly, Like we're in Spain, you guys have 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:49.360 like legit cultural food here. It was just like McDonald's. Anyways. Wait, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.200 okay after a game because you like to eat late. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.240 Is there like a fast food place that you ever 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:54.600 go to? 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:55.800 Or No?

So I want you to teach me. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.680 Can you teach me how to say in Spanish?
