Transcript
[START OF RECORDING]
JACK: [MUSIC] I went to Europe once, all by myself. I had to save up for like, a year to afford to go but once I got there, I had no money to do anything so I sometimes snuck into places. I won’t say specifics but I’ll give you some ideas. I snuck into a castle once. Yeah, my trick was to find the gift shop and see if the tours dumped out in the gift shop or something and sure enough, they did. So, I went in through the exit. The castle was pretty cool. I was able to scramble up long, twisting stairwells and get into higher floors and look at rooms and stuff. Eventually another tour came through and I just jumped in that and went back out. I had such little money on that trip; I remember once going to a hamburger stand and literally asking for half of a hamburger because I didn’t have enough for a whole one.
