Okay, but we don’t talk enough about how exactly this transpired. Feel like there are three most likely scenarios for why Shane asked Scott for gay vacation recommendations and they are all pretty funny:
(1) At some point in the four years prior, Scott's gay vacation sexcapades became public knowledge because his hookups talked, basically @gurlsrool's ten out of ten on a sped-up timeline.
(2) At some point in the four years prior, Scott dropped the dime on HIMSELF talking about his tortured closeted life in a sad wet dog interview that Shane read with a mixture of revulsion for Scott's weak ass and a longing that he did not care to investigate further.
(3) The funniest possible option: Shane did not know at all about Scott's European sex vacations, but he did the math and realized that: Scott is the only guy that Shane knows personally who a) has been publicly out as gay for at least one off-season and b) most crucially, is also in Shane's same income bracket. Because what else were they going to do, have Ilya ask Harris for ideas? Harris might have sent them to a Best Western in Quebec City.
Okay can we talk about this because Scott Hunter sending them to Ibiza keeps me up at night. It's so fucking funny
As for why Shane asked I think its gotta be #3. I think Shane was just like. This is the only out gay man I know with money. Because I think Shane "forgot Troy Barrett is gay" Hollander wouldn't remember Scott Hunter's gaycation past even if he did hear about it somehow, nor connect it to his own honeymoon. Shane just doesn't care about other people's experiences that way.
Ironically I think Shane really ought to have asked Rose instead because Hunter gives him the incredibly sinister advice to go to trashy anonymous gay hookup island for his honeymoon 6 months after being at the center of one of the most publicized sports scandals of all time. I don't know if this is Scott's payback for all the chirping over the years but I like to imagine it is
Yeah, okay, now it is received knowledge to me that Shane and Ilya's honeymoon was actually kind of miserable. They had no choice but to stay in the hotel room having a 24-hour-a-day fuckfest because every time they left the room they were fighting for their LIVES getting asked if they were looking for a third. And somewhere in New York everything was finally coming up Scott Hunter.
