The American: You have any idea if they gonna do like a Netflix series about this or something? Is that just—I mean, that is—Everything about— You know one thing I will just quickly say about the Scots, you know, is that the kilts. I think they’ve figured something out with the kilts. ‘Cause there are times in the summer where I’m I see a lady in a skirt and I’m just going “man, I wish, you know, I wish I could wear one of those.” Just the breeze—just on my—you know, ‘cause you know in the summertime, your balls just really. The humidity—just thinking of the breeze up there and I felt like the Scots figured that out.
Alice: I mean you can wear a kilt if you like.
The American: Nyeh. Not really, nah. Not here, you know, not here.
Alice: It’s culturally unacceptable in America.
The American: It’s—yeah. There’s just too much here. I’m just saying, you know, if The Rock started doing it then maybe it would catch on. But I don’t want to get into that.
