Welcome to part two of Walking the Dog with the wonderful comedian Mary Elaine Robertson.

If you want to go and see her show Lean, spell L-E-I-N, live, you can book your tickets at mariaenrobertson.com, and I highly recommend you do.

Really hope you enjoy part two of our walk and do give us a like and a follow so you can catch us every week.

Here's Mary Elaine and Ray Ray. Come on baby in the jacket. He's so sweet. He's so chill. I don't

think I've ever met more chill dog. Really? Well that makes me happy.

Might I suppose I also grow up with further colleagues. Yeah that's right. So, so the

Amsterdam experience, how did that end up getting you involved in comedy?

Oh right, so yeah, when I worked in the restaurant, then it turned out that I was working in a legal number of hours for less minimum wage.

So far so standard with your experience.

And I was just like he would be really annoyed if I wanted one day off ever.

I managed to get some days off, but every day I'd be in for like 11 hours.

But I just thought maybe this is what city life is like.

And I don't like to complain, I like to just do the work.

But when I find out how little is going to pay me, I did the mass,

and I was like, that's less than minimum wage, that's less than half minimum wage, this is illegal.

And it turned out everyone he hired was not from the Netherlands, or almost all of us. And I think he's trying to underpay everyone. I was like, you have to pay everyone at least minimum. So I got fired immediately. but my Dutch cousin said if you're wanting to make friends

a really good way to make friends is to join an improv troupe

Wow! So I immediately but my Dutch cousin said if you're wanting to make friends a really good way to make

friends is to join an improv troupe so I would go to improv workshops every Sunday but I was pretty

broke so I couldn't even bilingual because of your mom no really I speak English a lot of people

there don't they I always ask mamma's like why didn't you teach me Dutch? She's like, I tried for an older assistant brother, and they never spoke Dutch back, because I thought there's no point with you, and I moved to Amsterdam. So I can understand it, and then can't reply, but the Dutch speak English better as I do. And also, even when I was trying to speak Dutch, if I made one mistake, they're like,

this is quicker in English.
