How do you say "more alcohol" in Spanish? Not just for me, but for generations of Perkins going back. I'm really good at blowing sh¡t up when I'm drunk. I have never been picked for a sporting team. I'm getting to the point where I can hardly even see the circle. Sue: So it's basically like bowls, but with explosions. If you get just in the middle, you win more points. You know what, if you're not drunk, maybe you won't enjoy it. Tejo is our "national sport" if I say it like that. Liss: This is a traditional, like, tejo court. Right now, I'm gonna meet a woman called Liss, who is a super-famous, brilliant comic here in Colombia, Bogotá.Īnd she's gonna show me the ropes and challenge me, and possibly leave me for dead tied to a tree in the middle of a mountain range. Sue: Well, Chris, I've arranged to meet up with some local comedians in each country who will show me around. I'm a 50-year-old, and I am genuinely frightened about becoming staid and fixed. Uh, I am middle at the moment, I'm middle-aged, I'm middling, I'm medium fat, I'm semi-tired. But then you find yourself stood in a warehouse in the backstreets of Bogotá and there's a total stranger stood opposite you, and he's pointing a loaded gun in your face. Of course, you say that you want to drink all day, stay out all night, take drսg, dance, swim, run, fly, float, be free. Things that wouldn't even be legal to do at home.
Do things you never would do, never could do at home. How you want to learn to be free again, to have an adventure, let your guard down. You see, it's all very well saying you feel boxed in by rules and conventions, how you feel stale. Sue: It was at this moment, this precise, exact moment, when I realised that the whole thing had been a very naive, very stupid mistake. Locals and comedians guide Sue through Colombia and Mexico as she tests a bulletproof vest, rows through rapids and braves a fireworks festival.( gun cocking )
