Who is this guy?

Luca
I'm pretty sure it's Sacha Baron Cohen but I might be wrong lol because my eyesight is pretty bad
M
Mr. Stevens
No, but that's a good guess! It's Joey Greco, host of the (horrible) show Cheaters. I thought you might recognize him and laugh, Luca. We seem to have similar taste in bad pop culture. At least, I sense you were also raised more by TV than parents. :)

Luca
I wasn't raised by parents at all unfortunately, I raised myself, and had limited access to TV, but I do enjoy bad pop culture (although the Kardashians are a step too far for me. Yuck)
A lot of my friends like reality shows like Teen Mom, Catfish, and Siesta Key which are so stupid they're kind of funny, but almost in a concerning way lol
M
Mr. Stevens
Yeah, reality TV sucks. When these shows first came out, I never thought they would last :D I guess that was about 20 years ago.
L
Luca
I didn't think they would last either, but some of them have been running for 10 to 20 seasons!
The most ridiculous one to me is 90 Day Fiance. Which offended me recently because someone compared my relationship with my girlfriend to 90 Day Fiance because she came here from another country and we are living together, which I interpreted as kind of a racist/stereotypical way for that person to look at immigration.
L
Luca
She didn't move here to be with me, we met after the fact, and she actually has dual citizenship (here and in Poland.) Also kind of darkly funny to me that the person who made that statement would be stereotyping my relationship with a white European immigrant, when I'm the one who's not white who people have made deportation jokes about lol
M
Mr. Stevens
I thought I was good at attracting tools, but you put up some good competition :P I haven't even met this person and I don't like them.

Mr. Stevens
My one grandmother was from Poland.
L
Luca
I'm very talented at attracting tools lol. My town is full of people like this, I complain about them on here all the time.
That's cool that your grandmother was from Poland! I do speak some Polish because I have a lot of friends who are originally from Poland and Ukraine, and my girlfriend's mother doesn't understand English.

Luca
I was actually born in the US, but I'm adopted, but my (adoptive) parents are also from Eastern Europe. My actual heritage (from what I know) is from Argentina, Venezuela, Portugal, and Cabo Verde.

My Spanish and Portuguese language skills are rusty at best lol
M
Mr. Stevens
That's cool you know them! I had Spanish in high school, but remember little. I do love some Hispanic and Portuguese authors, though. Borges, Neruda, Pessoa.
