... and how Seth Meyers outed Shapiro on stage as someone who likely has ADHD. In this episode of the Dam Yankee podcast, host Zack Newmark sits down with comedian, voice actor, and American Netherlander Greg Shapiro. Best known across the globe as the voice of Donald Trump in the viral "America First, Netherlands Second" video, Shapiro gets real about the high stakes of modern politics. He doesn't mince words about the future of the U.S., warning, "We assume that this, crazy Trump, you know, project 2025, now in 2026, you know, this won't last forever. And, I think someone said, we'll see you at Nuremberg 2.0, yeah". Beyond the political satire of his upcoming ninth solo show, King Me: 250 Years of Donald Trump, Shapiro opens up about the personal costs of his 30-year comedy career. He shares the painful reality of moving to Amsterdam in 1994, which fractured his relationship with his family back in Chicago. It took 20 years for his father to finally say, "...when you moved away, and I understood at some point, oh, you're not coming back. And I guess I thought, good for you. And, proud. You know, I'm proud of you". Shapiro also gives a fascinating look inside his neurodivergent brain, explaining the "back pocket" technique he uses to manage his ADHD on stage. Tune in to hear the unbelievable story of how the "Netherlands Second" catchphrase was a last-minute afterthought, and why Shapiro thinks America might be due for a new revolution.

Round the Moon (Version 2) by Jules Verne Loyal Books Jules Verne’s sequel to his “From the Earth to the Moon” begins with a short chapter to catch you up, if you missed the first book.Then we join our three adventurers in their huge projectile as they gather themselves after the shock of being fired at the Moon from the Columbiad cannon. Perhaps in a nod to Yankee exceptionalism, Verne permits them an extraordinary encounter in space, and better yet – to survive it!But that encounter has a lasting effect: despite all the careful preparations to deposit the projectile on the Moon, it appears the travelers are destined to miss it! Careful scientists at heart, the former artillerymen in the projectile note every occurrence faithfully in their notebooks, along with the details of their observations of the Moon as they fly past… and round it. That precision might pay off as they try to figure out what happens to them next: will they fly off into space, become an eternal satellite of the Moon, or perhaps, something else?And do they have an Dave Dashaway Around the World by Roy Rockwood Loyal Books Never was there a more clever young aviator than Dave Dashaway, and all up-to-date lads will wish to make his acquaintance.Weldon J.
