My name's Liam Bowman Dodd. I'm back after a year in a bit. I have moved countries, got promotions, and increasingly growing in my despair for America.

Where are you living now?

We moved to Vienna.

Whoa, is that fancy? From over here, it always sounds fancy, but is it?

So the center of Vienna is very fancy, very old-fashioned, very white architecture. It's all public housing, but it's really, like, really beautiful. Where we live is a bit less so, but it's still nice. And we live still pretty central. We're right next to a metro line, so we can get to the center of town in like 10-15 minutes, which is really good. Oh, that's nice.

At least you're not sleeping on a couch.

Well, I will be this evening because I'm going to play board games after this until like

two or three in the morning.

So rather than disturb my wife, I will just sleep in here after the board game is

over.

I'm Jane Marie and this is the dream. the board game is over.

I'm Jane Marie, and this is The Dream.

And that is Liam, friend of the show.

He's been on a few times now.

He's one of my favorite people to talk to about,

well, kind of anything.

It's really smart.

He's got a lot of weird ideas.

And for this question that I really wanted answered, I knew he would be nice to me. Maybe. Let's talk today about how embarrassed I am

to be American at the moment.

Mm-hmm.

Um, what are people saying about us?
