Can a Chilean talk shit about Chile?

Yes.

Can a foreigner talk shit about Chile?

Not a chance. Absolutely not. No way!

If you don’t believe me, ask Adam Levine. Yes, the lead singer of Maroon 5, who made the terrible mistake of talking shit about little old Chile back in 2020. To this day, hundreds of Chileans still flood his Instagram comments with… recipes.

Yes, I know.

It’s weird as fuck.

In this episode, my journalist friend and expert in Chilean gossip and drama, Felipe Retamal, joins me to talk not only about Adam Levine, Donald Trump, Ethan Van Sciver, and other enemies of Chile, but also to explain WHY Chileans have this bizarre habit of filling the social media accounts of public figures they dislike—or anyone who messes with Chile—with recipes.

Among other things.

Remember to give ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to the podcast that tells you so much random shit about your favorite country.
