Are robots taking our jobs? Maybe they should? Are we all just working our a$$es off, just to keep working our a$$es off and how do we not find that completely LUDICROUS? And yes - that’s a word and not just a rapper. We cover that too. More topics include: Tokyo, being a vegetarian, and how people keep the TV on in the background because maybe, just maybe they’re afraid of actually getting to know themselves or finding out they don’t *really* enjoy their own company? Hmm? Triggered yet? It’s Friday Night Red Wine talks!

YEP my bathroom sink is now full of the best skincare products I have found here in Paris (which are mostly under $20). Shout out to all the French pharmacies for holding it down when it comes to keeping this epidermis moisturized. Here's what I use, when I use, and how much I mo-freakin' use.

Are you going to unsubscribe when you hear my unpopular opinion? How do you make friends when you're more introverted? Why did I ever do to Dominique's bodega man for him to hate me? Is there a heaven or hell and speaking of hell, what the hell is the point of life? Am I existential, or am I just drunk? All this and more in this Friday's Friday Night Red Wine Talk with one of my oldest friends from college in New York, Dominique.

Comment j’ai fait une vidéo de 21minutes dans un studio de 21m² ? Aucune idée. Mais voilà comment j’ai rassemblé tous mes pouvoirs astrologiques pour renDre ces quatre murs impersonnels en un charmant petit chalet digne d’une couverture d’Arts & Déco

Aucun crédit pour mes efforts diplomatiques parfois ! Je me donnais à fond pour apaiser les tensions Américano-russes avec la technologie Google Trad de 2020, mais si y’a des cafouillages lors des prochaines élections, venez pas pleurer.

En 60min, tout sur les sujets tabous : Sexe, drogues, weed, droits LGBTQ+ et athéisme. Découverte des Pays-Bas, un des pays les plus tolérants au monde, qui trône en tête parmi les populations les plus heureuses du monde. Let’s Go !

Y’all asked for extended Red Wine Talks, and especially during this corona quarantine, so I asked my big-headed friend Paul to roast me for 39 minutes straight while we talked about everything from how to turn on a simple light at his house to feeling 100% comfortable in your skin whether you're black, white, gay, straight, etc. CUZ NONE OF US ASKED TO BE HERE ANYWAY.

It's Day 1500 (i think?) of lockdown in Paris and I can't figure out what to wear...to walk two steps in my tiny studio to my kitchen. But here I go, putting on all my favorite clothes (that I wear too much) to remind me that fashion *does* exist and that I *do* have style in this day and age of the dreaded corona.

ÇA Y EST, LES ANCÊTRES. J'AI LES RECEIPTS ET JE VIENS À BELFORT, FRANCE VOUS RETROUVER...200 ANS PLUS TARD.

Filmed on an eerily-empty night in Montmartre in December. Finished editing sometime in January. Been sitting on my hard drive for no good reason ever since. If y'all watch my IG story, you know I have that habit. After my longer-form docs, I wanted to see what it'd be like to make a very short short-film. I wanted to make something pretty ( ????), that also had a deeper meaning.

on the bright side, this was the "time" you wanted: whether you're sleeping in, or learning sign language - this and 7 more rules to remember while you're locked in your 200 square foot apartment with little to no motivation.

Et voilà, j'explique la langue française de la manière que j'aurais trop aimé qu'on me l'aprenne. Peut-être que cette vidéo, elle vous fera comprendre pourquoi vos potes anglophones arrivent pas à s'exprimer comme vous aimeriez. C'est pas parce qu'on essaye de vous faire chier, c'est parce qu'on est train de s'emmerder à essayer de traduire mot pour mot ce qu'on dirait dans notre langue qui a un Bescherelle de deux pages max. Donc, des fois, excuse my French.

Daphné won't take off the bunny slippers. Zoé won't give up. Piper is a painter. Alonso is...there. And I started all of this. Come along for this n00b Sims 4 GAMEPLAY. Ba-boom.

Juste quand tu penses que tu commences à gérer le français, tu te prends dans la figure que tu gères rien. Pourquoi dans cette phrase là c'est "de' mais là c'est "des"? Bon là, mais bien là-bas. Et vous, en tant que francophone, vous aviez remarqué que tous les numéros au dessus de 70 n'existent pas?

Welcome to my Parisian mansion, Fauxgue!

It’s the Summer Season of what? RED! WINE! TALKS! 6 Fridays in a row, baby! And this time it’s all about the Black Lives Matter movement, how if you’re black outside of the USA you’re not ‘african-american,’ how you have to add a disclaimer to every sentence in 2020, and least importantly, how i thought i would be turning 40 in 20 years.

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU’D LIKE...YOU’D LIKE TO...TO TELL ME?

It's Friday Night Red Wine Talks with Shayna, the IT girl of Paris!

It's Red Wine Talks with Fred!

La tour Eiffel, la Seine, bla bla blah d'accord mais le vrai Paris, c'est comment? Et bon, le vrai Paris pour un américain, en plus? Je fais quoi? Je vais où? Mes amis sont comment?

Dans un nouvel épisode de « Tentative de voyage en France sans me faire engueuler », je vais à Colmar, une petite bourgade de conte de fée que j’ai choisie parce que le billet était à 30€ depuis Paris. Ce qui est “cher” pour la France en fait. Dans ce petit village, on écoute les ragots dans les bars, on est perturbés par un mec qui vend des fruits, et on galère à faire quoi que ce soit parce que tout ferme toutes les deux heures. Qui dit mieux ? (En vrai, super journée)

I’m tired of putting the kant in “kannst du Deutsch sprechen?” when it’s like...ja, ich kann?? My German has been INCHING along over the years - maybe one of these days it’ll all click and I’ll come out speaking like a Club Maté sippin’ Berlin hipster who doesn’t want to be a called a hipster (!) or o0o0o0o, even better - one of those intimidating bouncers at Berghain who BARELY speak at all but when they do, you pay attention!? Jaaaa!!!

Anne is here to say everything no one else would! Do we like bad boys because it brings us drama which then makes us feel accomplished when we get through it? Why do the most life-changing things happen on that gap year or study abroad year? Is it better or worse to be heartbroken in Paris? Again, how is it that sometimes I feel that I, a dude from conservative Indiana, am the most liberal out of all my modern European friends? This is Episode 4 of 6 in the Summer Red Wine Talks series!

Vous ne pouvez pas réduire mon existence à un chiffre!

Tous les cinq livres du genre développement personnel, il y en a un qui est un véritable succès - qui me frappe dans le ventre, me fait reprendre mon souffle, et émerger une meilleure personne. Voici cette liste. Dites pas que je vous ai pas prevenus.

Nathaniel Drew and I disagree on some things, but hey, at least we both enjoy some warm oatmeal for breakfast?

Je connais vraiment personne, mais PERSONNE, à Paris qui fait ces trucs. Fasse ces trucs? ????????‍♂️

In another episode of hey France, you there? I document the past eight months of attempting to process the renewal of my French talent visa. Yes, if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that I have become the clingy one, and France is all… I think your Uber’s outside?

Y'all said Milan was ugly. I'm hungover from the 4 negronis and lovesick for these 40 year old silver foxes. Milan is known as a fashion capital of the world, ok ok, but do they got what it takes for *this* fashion?

I just want to know how they acquired the rights to my life story cuz I was an American who met my first guy while studying in Europe as well.

It's the 29th birthday of Damon Daniel Dominique - but what will happen this year?

What is going on in the German language that makes so many of the Germans I meet so…cool? For example: here are three of my German-speaking friends.

In this 38 minute mini doc, I just want to know: how y’all do that thing you do? How you’re the “cApItAl of c00L” but so…down-to-earth at the same time? What is going on in Berlin? I’m here to find out via the Pfand system, the various photoautomats, and maybe a little bouldering. Sorry Berlin, I’m new here.

Coming to you from the American aisle of my French supermarket, I am here to explain very confusing American concepts to my British video assistant, Chloe.

Heel toe, dosey doe, c'mon baby let’s go...drive everywhere cuz that’s how it’s done here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Grandma Edna? Grandma Bernie? Where you at?

Goodwill, vegan activists, and a roadside motel: couldn't have asked for anything more on this road trip through Indiana.

In another episode of this wasn't sponsored but should have been, I find a super European hotel in the middle of the country of Indiana??? And then a German café - like wut?

i took my dad's pickup truck on a roadtrip around indiana, and ended up at a spiritual-retreat-like hostel and then a farm with two people i met at a natural foods store. wut?

Jokes on everyone who ever thought Indiana was *jUsT* full of cornfields. Ha - you're only HALF correct. There are actually a ton of cool things people do for fun here - things that you can't do in many other places. I'm still mad about the mechanical bull tho...

This was therapeutic. For me. Thank you Notion.

Yes, yes. Here are the most thought-provoking points that made you go oh damn? and some of the funniest punchlines from my ridiculous red wine talks guests of season 1, and 2. in other words, i miss all my friends, my brain hurts, and my liver needs a break.
