Hello. We're Fathom.

NYC – We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this very important Fathom service announcement.

A Minibar Christmas

LISBON – I see a homeless guy masturbating. The same guy who yesterday I would have bet was having sex under his blanket. Well, why not? It's free. And it's Christmas. Small pleasures.

A Man on a Mission. For Tiles.

SEVILLE and LISBON – "When they hear your English, they think 'rich tourist' and won't bargain. Let me talk." When a man's on a mission to shop, he leaves no tile unturned.

The Dying Art of the Bullfight

MADRID – I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a strange thrill every time a bull shuddered and fell to its knees, the final spasm of death clear even from the top row of seats.

Take Me Out to the Cooperstown

COOPERSTOWN, New York – We dropped in to check out the National Baseball Hall of Fame and were astounded, not by the Hall so much, but by the town.

So You Wanna See a Thai Sex Show

BANGKOK, THAILAND – I throw the money down on the table and stare the woman in the eye. Somewhere behind me on stage a woman is doing something unbelievable with her vagina. The tension is palpable. Brooke makes the next move: She grabs my hand and says, "Let's go."

A Few Days in Stockholm

STOCKHOLM — The people, gorgeous creatures all of them, are very proud of their country and eager to show it off.
