1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: What's that? Andrew? Oh hey, Gandhi, oh hey, what do

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: you sound so happy?

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: Just because you know it's another episode of sauce on

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: the side.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: I know, but it's so misleading. So if people don't

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: know you and they just hear you on the show,

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: you sound like this happy. Oh my god, I'm so

8
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: loving and amazing, and people who know you one get

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: a different voice and two that's all I have to

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: say about you.

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: Well, what a lovely day it is. It's all Wednesday, folks.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Welcome back this week is Joe Kim Booster. He's a

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: comedian and has the new Netflix special Outstanding, and.

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: I got to see a preview of it. It's actually

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: pretty cool. It's all about the queer community and how

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: stand up has worked for them, how they've worked with

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: stand up, and how things have changed over the years.

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Are we allowed to say queer community because for some

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: reason it feels like I shouldn't. However, that's the easiest

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: way to refer to LGBTQIA. Plus that community, right is

21
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the queer community. And all of my friends who are

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: part of it say queer community. They seem to have

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: no issue with me saying it. But something about it

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: feels weird, you know, like there are words that are

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: not bad. Yeah, but then when you say it, you

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: feel like you're saying it the wrong way.

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: I get you.

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do.

29
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 3: Yeah.

30
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: Should I ask him? Or you think you'll get mad?

31
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: Ummm? Let's try it.

32
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Do we know anything about him? Is nice?

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Very nice?

34
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: How do you know?

35
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: Do you know him?

36
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: What are you saying this stuff to me? I? Should

37
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: we just get right to it.

38
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Let's get to it.

39
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: Alright, he's here, let's go all right, Joel Kim Booster.

40
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to have you here. Thank you so

41
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: much for having me, Thank you for coming in. I

42
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: feel so honored because you have a lot of stuff

43
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: going on right now. I just watched your stand up

44
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: special on Netflix, which is a couple of years old, right,

45
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: two years old. And I watched a documentary that you

46
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: are a big part of, called Outstanding, which is perfect

47
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: for June, all about Pride and it's about stand up comics.

48
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 5: The history of stand up comedy. Yeah, yeah, from a

49
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: lot of different angles. I am a very small part

50
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 5: of that tapestry of our history, but I'm very honored

51
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 5: to be included in the doc but yeah, really it's

52
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 5: so comprehensive.

53
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: It really covers everything from really like.

54
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 5: The first like Robin Tyler legends, oh yeah, the first

55
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: out gay person to have a late night stand up

56
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: comedy set, and it goes all the way through my generation.

57
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: And it was incredible watching the evolution and how much

58
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: things have changed. But there was one line specifically that

59
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: really got me. It was when Robin Tyler was talking

60
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: about humor being an important part of the movement in general.

61
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Do we still feel that that's the case.

62
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think humor is still hugely important because humor

63
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 5: is so disarming, you know. I think humor can really

64
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 5: take a person out of themselves in a way, because

65
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 5: you know, the sort of the genesis of a laugh

66
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: is like surprise, you know, like it's it's an involuntary response.

67
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: In a lot of ways. And I think.

68
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: That's really helpful when you're trying to a sort of

69
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 5: humanize yourself to people who might not see you as

70
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 5: human and be change people's minds a little bit, or

71
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 5: at least sort of get them into a headspace where

72
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: they're willing to, you know, engage with ideas beyond their own.

73
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel it is right now navigating making

74
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: other people laugh. Is it difficult?

75
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: No, I listen.

76
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's any more difficult than it

77
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: has been in any other point in human history. I

78
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: think that what's happened is there's a lot of things

79
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: that have changed, Like the Internet has changed things, certainly.

80
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: I think that there's a lot of people who are

81
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 5: exposed to a lot of like, you know, memes have

82
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: actually really changed comedy because it's there's a lot of

83
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: like first thought, jokes are now disseminated as memes, okay,

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 5: And so then as a comic, you go out on stage,

85
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 5: you can't say the joke that has just been the

86
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 5: circulated meme. You have to go a little bit ahead

87
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: of where the audience is. That's the challenge of being

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 5: a comic is you have to be ahead of the audience.

89
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 5: If someone a lay person, say, can make the joke

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 5: or has shared the joke on Twitter, then you have

91
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: to make a better joke. I don't think there's anything

92
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: off limits that you can say. I think you just

93
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: have at the end of the day, it just has

94
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 5: to be funny enough, and you're never gonna make everybody laugh,

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: but you know what you have to worry about is

96
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: the audience in front of you that night live on stage.

97
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: Do you feel safe on stage for the most part,

98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, Will Smith's lap, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle got

99
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: attacked by that guy recently. I was watching somebody who

100
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: got into a little Twitter war with someone else and

101
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: left a comment about his three month old son. The

102
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: guy showed up at the show and punched down.

103
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

104
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: No, listen, I listen. I've had a beer bottle thrown

105
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: at me on stage. I've experienced heckler's. Luckily, I've never

106
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 5: experienced a heckler when the rest of the audience wasn't

107
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: on my side. It's usually just like one random crazy

108
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: person or someone who you know didn't realize I was

109
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 5: the one who's going to be performing that.

110
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: Night, or a bachelorette party. This is my thing with that.

111
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: I do not understand why you, as a bachelor lorette,

112
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 5: would want to go on a night that is about you,

113
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: that is all about you, would go to an event

114
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 5: where it's actually about me. Now, babe, you know, like

115
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 5: I get that, you want to be the center of attention,

116
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 5: So go to a place where you can be the

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 5: center of attention. Not where everyone else is literally paid

118
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 5: to pay attention to someone else. It doesn't make any

119
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 5: sense to me. But no, like every comic is going

120
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: to experience and push back in some form or another,

121
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 5: and you know, some of it's scarier than others. But

122
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: I think that, like, I don't know, man, sometimes comics

123
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: really like to like put themselves up on the cross

124
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: and act like this job is way harder than it is.

125
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 5: And it's just like, if you are funny enough, it's

126
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: not going to be a big issue.

127
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that bottle that got thrown at you.

128
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Was it in response to a joke or was it

129
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: just drunk assholes in the it was?

130
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: I mean it was a little bit of both. I was.

131
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: It was in Vancouver, actually, which is one Canadian I

132
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: know that can even supposed to be friendly.

133
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: But no, it was clearly it was like these two

134
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 5: like bikers and their wives. And this was at a

135
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 5: point in my career too where I was headlining, but

136
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: like I wasn't well known. This was people who had

137
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: no idea who I was. They were just coming to

138
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: the comedy club that weekend and these people just like

139
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 5: clearly were not prepped to see someone like me on stage,

140
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 5: and I remember they came out and like, within the

141
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 5: first couple of minutes I sat, they were just like

142
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 5: talking clearly, like not please. I at one point went

143
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 5: over and interrupted them and I was like, I can't

144
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: tell if you hate me because I'm gay or because

145
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 5: I'm Asian, Like which.

146
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: One is it? Like is it both?

147
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: And just trying to like, you know, break the tension

148
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: a little bit with that corner because they were talking

149
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 5: in a way everyone in the audience could hear, and

150
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: so their wives were immediately like no, no, no, no, no, we're

151
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: not like that. We're not like that way. I promised

152
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 5: to promise, I promise, but the husbands were giving very much.

153
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: The thing we are.

154
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, the rest of the audience was into it, but

155
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: like it was so distracting and so finally I was like,

156
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 5: you guys have to either head out or shut up.

157
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: And that's when it all started. And then security had

158
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: to come and as they were being you know, kicked

159
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: out of the show, one of the guys chucked a

160
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 5: beer bottle at me as he was exiting the theater

161
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: and it was great. I mean it missed me by

162
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: a long drive. I think, Thank god he had been

163
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: drinking several beers that night. I think his aim was

164
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: a little bit off the MLB. He is not primed for.

165
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, and then one of the security guys said, like,

166
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: I'd be careful, they're waiting for you outside.

167
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: Oh.

168
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: Luckily though, the club was at the bottom of the hotel,

169
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 5: so I didn't have to leave the club at all.

170
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: I hope they didn't wait too long.

171
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: So you were talking about people not being used to

172
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: seeing someone like you, and you did point out you

173
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: are queer and you are Asian? Is it South Korean?

174
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

175
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: Okay, how did you get into comedy being Asian? Because

176
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I too am Asian South and you know that's not

177
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: necessarily our forte. We're getting there, But how does this

178
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that somewhere some parents were disappointed.

179
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: And I know you adopted by white people.

180
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, my parents are evangelical, so they were adopted.

181
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: They were disappointed for different reasons.

182
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: Are listen.

183
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 5: I started stand up like anybody else, started stand up

184
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: like I started going. I did a one off show,

185
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 5: tried it for the first time, did five minutes, did

186
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: really well and got it, got hooked. And then you know,

187
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 5: after that first time doing really well. There were many

188
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: bombs that followed, but as I figured it out, but

189
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 5: I just started going to open mics.

190
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: I started in Chicago. I did the open mic scene there.

191
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: I did some you know a lot of alt rooms

192
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 5: there too as well as I was like figuring it out,

193
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: and then moved to New York and dove right in.

194
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: And you know, I was just like a lot of people.

195
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 5: I worked like a fifty hour week day job, and

196
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: then as soon as I was done at my job,

197
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: I would go to the open mics, hit up as

198
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 5: many open mics as I could until you know, midnight,

199
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: one am.

200
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: And then do it all over again.

201
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: What was the day job?

202
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: The day job I worked into so I was an

203
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 5: early my first job out of college. I worked at groupon. Okay,

204
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: I was like a temp. I started as a temp.

205
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: I was like the seventy second employee of Groupon before

206
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: you know, as they were getting huge. But it was

207
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 5: also like really intense because you're working out a startup

208
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 5: and so everything could.

209
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: Fall apart at any moment. Health insurance, yeah, no, I mean

210
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 4: that was the big thing is that I had.

211
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: I was in such deep student loan debt and I

212
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 5: had to and I had health issues that I needed

213
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 5: health insurance for.

214
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: So I was glued to my day job for so

215
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: much longer than I wish I then I really wanted

216
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 4: to be.

217
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: I was paying more in student loan payments than I

218
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: wasn't rent until I paid off my loss.

219
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Wild Yeah. So at this point now you've left a

220
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: lot behind and stand up is one what you're doing.

221
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Obviously you're writing.

222
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: Too, yeah, writing and acting and things.

223
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 5: It's it's the weird like paradox of being successful as

224
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: a stand up is the more successful as a stand

225
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 5: up you get, the more you asked to do every

226
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 5: everything but stand up.

227
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: They're like, can you write? Can you act? Can you

228
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: do this? Let's try this? You know, and it's funny

229
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: you have less and less time for it.

230
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: Do you like it?

231
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, no?

232
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: I love I love writing, I love performing, I love acting,

233
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 5: I love stand up.

234
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: I love it all.

235
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 5: It's all different little parts of my brain. So it's

236
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 5: nice to get stimulated in different ways.

237
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: So you are part of a show called Lout.

238
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: Yes, right, so lou It's a it's a comedy on

239
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 5: Apple starring Maya Rudolph.

240
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 4: I auditioned the part. The breakdown for it was like.

241
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: Snarky, like gay Asian assistant from the Midwest, and I

242
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 5: was like, well, if I don't book this, then I

243
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: need to rethink my future in Hollywood. And it's funny

244
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: because one of the creators of Lut, Matt Hubbard, had

245
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: written on Sunnyside, which was a short lived NBC sitcom

246
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 5: that I started in with cal Pen that was has

247
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 5: the distinction of being the lowest rated premiere in NBC history.

248
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 5: So I'm part of history, thank you very much because

249
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 5: of that show. Matt wrote on that show and he

250
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 5: worked with me and he saw me on that show

251
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: and he was like, I really like that guy, like

252
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: his vibe, and they sort of wrote the character based

253
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 5: on my vibe. And it wasn't a sure thing, like

254
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 5: I still need to audition, but it was one of

255
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 5: those things where they were like, all he needs to

256
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: do is nail this audition.

257
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: So when you go to audition for roles, do you

258
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: feel like it's tougher to get a main character as

259
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: a queer Asian person versus you know, straight white whomever.

260
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Because I feel like when you look at a lot

261
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: of TV productions, movie productions, there is diversity, but the

262
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: diversity is always the sasy k friend no no, or

263
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, the diva attitude best friend. It's always the

264
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: side character, not necessarily the main as much.

265
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 5: That's absolutely correct, and I think that's why, like, you know,

266
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: we talk so much about diversity on screen, but I

267
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: think the almost more importantly the push should be for

268
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 5: diversity behind the camera, because when you don't have diverse creators,

269
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 5: diverse producers, diverse execs green lighting these shows, you're only

270
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: going to be left with sort of these one dimensional

271
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: side characters. And that's what we're going to be given,

272
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 5: you know. And I think like for me, I wrote

273
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: a movie called Fire Island that I started with Bow

274
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: and Yang, and for me, that was a huge part

275
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 5: of that was bone And I get called in all

276
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: the time to be these like best friend characters or

277
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: side characters or whatever, and rarely would we a get

278
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 5: cast as leads and be get cast in a movie

279
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: together because it's like, oh, to two Gaysian guys, Yeah, exactly,

280
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 5: the position has been filled. And so I made a

281
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 5: movie with actually four of us, you know, four queer

282
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 5: Asian performers. And if I wait around for Hollywood to

283
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: make a movie like this, a movie where I get

284
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 5: to start with. One of my best friends, who happens

285
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 5: to be check some of the same demographic checkboxes is me.

286
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 5: I will be waiting forever, so I have to do

287
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 5: it myself. I like that though, that diversity is almost

288
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: the most important diversity to have right now.

289
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: But back to you, because I'm fascinated by you. So

290
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: you're adopted by two white parents in the middle of

291
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: the country.

292
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: Right outside of Chicago.

293
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, right outside suburbs.

294
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. And is it true that they basically found

295
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: out that you were gay because they read your diary?

296
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: Yes? Journal, I'm a boy journal.

297
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, journal, How dare I they read your journal?

298
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: First of all, I have a question, where was that

299
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: journal stash under the mattress? They looked under your map?

300
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: Did they go looking forward or it was just.

301
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: That she was My mom was absolutely looking forward, she

302
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: claimed she was, and she claimed she was just cleaning

303
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 5: my room. And I was like, how how messy was

304
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 5: it under the.

305
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Mattress that you had to go under there?

306
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 5: Because like at this point, I had been out for

307
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: a year at school, and you also a little bit

308
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 5: of background, like I was homeschooled until my junior year

309
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: of high school.

310
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: They sent me to public school.

311
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 5: I mean, it was crazy. It's it's it's it's really isolating.

312
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: It's strange. I mean, especially when you're in an uber

313
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 5: religious household. You know, you're very everything is is, you're

314
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 5: protected from everything, you're shielded from everything, you're held back

315
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 5: from everything. And then they sent me to the public school,

316
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 5: and it suddenly I have all this freedom, and it's like,

317
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 5: you can't keep a sixteen year old under lock and

318
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 5: key their entire life and then send them out into

319
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 5: the world and not expect them to go a little crazy.

320
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 5: Like within the first month of going to public school,

321
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 5: I came out of the closet. I drank for the

322
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: first time. I smoked weed for the first time. I

323
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 5: hooked up for the first time. I did it all

324
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: baby like. It was like every fear they ever had

325
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 5: about sending me to public school, they were right.

326
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: It's exactly how I picture it working. When somebody's homeschooled

327
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: until they're sixteen or seventeen, or even if they go

328
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: all the way through high school and then they go

329
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: to college, I'm like, oh, this is about to get curged.

330
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: Right exactly. I mean, yeah, normally you see that with

331
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 5: kids who go to college. You know, for the first

332
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: time they could sense that, like I was definitely living

333
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 5: a double life. Like I and I you know, was

334
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: very open outside of the home, and then I'd come

335
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 5: home and I'd have to be this completely different person.

336
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: And it was really I was. I was Handam Montana.

337
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: You know, I was living a double life.

338
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you that's actually very Asian South

339
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: and East. I did the same thing. I still kind

340
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: of do the same thing. The only thing that's ruined

341
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: is now my parents can listen to the show, right

342
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: and now they're like, what does that mean? What did

343
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: you really do that. I'm like, damn it, go back

344
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: to hating my job and not listen to anything. It

345
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: was much better that way. So they were looking for it.

346
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: We think they found it.

347
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: I looked they were.

348
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: They were definitely wanted to kind of confirm that, you know,

349
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 5: I wasn't I was out there doing things that I

350
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 5: don't know if they for sure, you know, suspected that

351
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 5: I was gay. I mean, listen, it wasn't exactly a

352
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: it was it was fairly evident. I would say it

353
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 5: was like, you know, I read pretty gay, and I

354
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: have since I was a child. But yeah, and they

355
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 5: read my journal. I ended up moving out at seventeen,

356
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 5: didn't talk to them again until I was in college,

357
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 5: and it was it was a lot, But I will

358
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: say the thing is that I'm grateful to them for

359
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 5: is that, like I haven't taken a dime from my

360
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 5: parents since I was seventeen, and that I think is

361
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: probably the most formative thing about who I am as

362
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 5: a person today. You know, we're you know, the relationship,

363
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 5: we mended a lot of things over the years, sence,

364
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 5: you know, this is a long time ago now. But

365
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 5: the fact that I sort of, you know, said I don't.

366
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: Need your support to do this.

367
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: Is why I think I I attributed a lot of

368
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 5: my success to that is because I know how to work,

369
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 5: I know how to hustle, and I know how to

370
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: take care of myself, and there was no safety net

371
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 5: for me in this business. Like I was like, I

372
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: have to be a success in this industry because there

373
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: aren't any other options for me, Like no one else

374
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 5: is paying my rent.

375
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't understand how this is not a TV show

376
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: in itself. What do you mean with you?

377
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: You?

378
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean your entire story growing up a queer Asian

379
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: homeschool kid going to public school for the first time

380
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: outside of Chicago. I mean, for the love of God

381
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: that you.

382
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: Know, it's funny.

383
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: The first pilot I ever sold to Fox and then

384
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: Comedy Central was very much about that part of my

385
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 5: life life. And then it you know, again, diversity in

386
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 5: the executive suite.

387
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 4: It didn't end up going it developed. It was in.

388
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 5: Development health for a long time, and then there were

389
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: a lot of notes and then at the time it

390
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: was like they already had an Asian show. You know,

391
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 5: there is this mentality in the industry a lot of

392
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: time that there can only be one. It's like one

393
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 5: and done. You know, like why in the world, how

394
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: could there possibly be more different experiences for an Asian person?

395
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 5: You know, like we have the one experience already on

396
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: the network. We don't there's certainly that has to be

397
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 5: it right and shocker, there is a wealth, a plethora,

398
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 5: a plurality of different experiences for our communities. And that

399
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 5: is really the frustrating part about I think being in

400
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 5: this position of being representatives of the community is like

401
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: so oftentimes like these networks will like push out like

402
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 5: me for example, and say like this is it, like

403
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 5: this is your gay representation, this is your Asian representation,

404
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 5: and that's what you get. And of course people are mad,

405
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 5: Like people in my community get mad and they're like,

406
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 5: I don't.

407
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: Relate to this guy.

408
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: You're not career.

409
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: It's not this guy.

410
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 5: Doesn't you know, represent me. He doesn't represent my experience.

411
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 5: And they get and they focus their anger sometimes at me,

412
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: which I fully understand. But the thing is is like

413
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 5: you should just demand more.

414
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: I say that all the time when people come to

415
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: me to ask me anything about Indian culture, I'm like, listen,

416
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: I have my answers, right, Indian culture is so vast

417
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: and rich, and Indians in India will give you a

418
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: different answer than Indians in America. And trust me, whatever

419
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: answer I give you, they're all going to hate me

420
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: for it. So let's just look at it as an

421
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: individual instead of this like monolith. Yes, where you're all

422
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: the same, you know all the answers, right, Oh my god,

423
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: what do you do for Chinese New Year?

424
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: Right?

425
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: Okay, So when something like that happens and you have

426
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: the show, when you pitch it and then it goes away,

427
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: is there a possibility for it to come back later

428
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: or is it just direct I mean, yeah.

429
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 5: Verse say never, it's it's always possible. I guess it's uh,

430
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 5: it's rare. I mean it's funny. Fire Island like started

431
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: as a Quibi project, if you remember Quibi r Ip

432
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 5: I do, and then you know Quibi went the way

433
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 5: Quibi went, and and then Searchlight bought the movie, so

434
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: you know it can happen. I would definitely love to

435
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: tell some version of that part of my life. And

436
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: you know, I love to cannibalize my life for content,

437
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 5: and you know, there's there's definitely a possibility down the road.

438
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 5: If not, if not a TV show, you know, that's

439
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: sort of the cheat is like I could just make it.

440
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: A movie absolutely, So who would play you?

441
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: Who would play you? Well, I don't.

442
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 5: I think there's gonna need to be like a nationwide

443
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 5: casting call. Okay, young Korean boys come out?

444
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: Nothing about that sounds sketchy.

445
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 4: No, not at all. Not to catch a predator at.

446
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: All, to casting call young Korean boys.

447
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: Oh god, I've trust me. I've fallen for that one before.

448
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh tell us tell us about I think you look

449
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: young enough to play a young you?

450
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: Well, no, I mean that is you know the amazing

451
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 5: thing about being Asian is not you know, pushing forty,

452
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 5: but on the CW, I could be a sophomore in college.

453
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, or a fifteen year old school I watched

454
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: Never Have I Ever, and I was like, wait a minute,

455
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: Davy is like fifteen. Yeah, the guy who plays her

456
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: love interest was thirty. I love this, and it was

457
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: causing some conflict within me because I was like, I'm

458
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: attracted to this boy who might be a high schooler,

459
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: but he's thirty, so it's okay.

460
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 5: It's this catch twenty two In the industry too, though,

461
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: of like they're like, well, we have to cast somebody

462
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 5: who has experience who's a name. But in order to

463
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 5: have that experience and become a name, you have to

464
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 5: get cast, and so we're stuck in this sort of

465
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 5: like loop where it's like they're just aren't enough people

466
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 5: of color that are names and have the experience.

467
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 4: And it's like, because you're not.

468
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 5: Casting enough people of colors who can then at the

469
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 5: name and the experience, you know, So.

470
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 4: It's it's it's this, it's this weird.

471
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 5: Political maneuvering, like shoving through, you know, really fighting and

472
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 5: like trying to get your you know, as soon as

473
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 5: that door opens, you have to like rush for it.

474
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: Have you noticed any uptick in people from Korea watching you,

475
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: following you?

476
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a I have a fair amount, I

477
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 5: think of Korean fans.

478
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 4: I think. I don't know.

479
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm going back for the first time this year,

480
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: which I'm really excited about. I haven't been back since

481
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: truly I was born there, and I'm really excited to

482
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 5: go and you know, see the place where I was

483
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: born and really like see and engage with that culture

484
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 5: because that I think for me as growing up in

485
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 5: the Midwest, as in an.

486
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 4: All white family in an all white town.

487
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 5: I think when I was very young, especially, my parents

488
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 5: were very open to me engaging with my birth culture,

489
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: my heritage, and they were like, do you want to

490
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: learn the language? Do you want to go to the

491
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 5: Korean America in cultural Center and all these things. But

492
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 5: when you are eight and you feel so different already, yep,

493
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 5: and there's no I did not meet another Asian person

494
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 5: my age until I was thirteen years old, and that

495
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 5: fucks you up a little bit and you just want

496
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 5: to feel normal. And so of course when they were

497
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: like offering to, you know, get me Korean language classes,

498
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 5: I was like, hell no, I just want to be

499
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 5: like everybody else. I don't want another thing that will

500
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 5: accentuate my otherness. And I really deeply regret that now

501
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 5: as an adult, obviously, because I wish I had, you know.

502
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so much easier to learn a language

503
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 5: when you're young, Yes, it is, but starting now, as

504
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 5: I'm like trying to lunker in now, it's just like,

505
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 5: oh my god, it's so hard. But like, yeah, it's

506
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 5: It's one of my great regrets. And so I'm really,

507
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 5: you know, excited to get to engage with my culture,

508
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 5: my heritage in a real visceral way, you know, in

509
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 5: my homeland.

510
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: That's going to be amazing. I'm very excited for you

511
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: to do this. How long are you going to spend there?

512
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 4: A little over a week.

513
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 5: We're gonna I'm going to be in Seoul and then

514
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I was born on Jaiju Island in Korea,

515
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 5: which is such an incredible place. Jiju is like one's

516
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: known because it's like one of the only places in

517
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 5: Asia that for many years had a matriarchal power structure

518
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 5: because the women drove the economy. There are Hanyo which

519
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 5: are see women they free dove for like pearls and things,

520
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 5: and women were better suited for that than men because

521
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 5: of you know, physiology, and so the men would stay

522
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: home and take care of the home and the women

523
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 5: would work. And it's the site of the largest lead

524
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 5: female the largest female led rebellion in history during the

525
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: Japanese occupation.

526
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 4: And yeah, I was born on an Amazon island.

527
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: That's incredible.

528
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: Like that, my whole life makes sense.

529
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: Do you have any desire to or are you even

530
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: able to connect with your wirth parents?

531
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 5: No? I, you know, it's funny. I don't really have

532
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: a strong desire for that. I did twenty three and

533
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: meters to see, you know, Mike, My questions are are

534
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 5: pretty practical. They're like, I would love to know if

535
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 5: I have a history of X y Z medically in

536
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: my family.

537
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 4: You know, I would like to know. Am I going

538
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 4: to go bold someday.

539
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: And attack it now?

540
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 4: Exactly?

541
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: I have a pretty hell yet air But I you know,

542
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 5: so there's those questions obviously. But I love my parents,

543
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: and I you know, we had our problems, but none

544
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 5: of that. I it's so funny sometimes people when I

545
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 5: talk about my you know, estrangement for my parents and

546
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 5: some of the struggles that we had. They're like, you

547
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 5: think it was part of part of it was being adopted,

548
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: and I'm like, absolutely not. My parents never, never, once

549
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: did I have a complex growing up about feeling different.

550
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 5: My brother and my sister are actually biological to them.

551
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 5: I was the only adopted kid in the family, and

552
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 5: I never felt different. I never felt treated differently, I

553
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 5: never felt loved differently. I don't feel incomplete in that way.

554
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 5: And for me, especially like I'm just sort of like Korea, Steph.

555
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: Korea is a very.

556
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 5: Conservative country, a very Christian evangelical country, and a part

557
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 5: of me is just sort of like I had one

558
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: set of parents that was deeply religious that did not

559
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 5: handle me being gay very well. I don't necessarily need

560
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 5: to go and do that again in a language that

561
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 5: I cannot communicate it.

562
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: They just be talking all this about you, and you're like,

563
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: what am right? Hello?

564
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

565
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 5: So I mean, if it ever happened, if they found me,

566
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 5: if it were easy. Also, the adoption agency my parents

567
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 5: use is shuttered, so I have no idea where i'd

568
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 5: even begin to look.

569
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about outstanding a little bit. So hopefully

570
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: by the time people hear this, it will actually be

571
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: out because I got to preview it.

572
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: When is it out out June eighteenth?

573
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: June eighteenth? Oh, so they're still going to have to

574
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute because this is coming out Wednesday. Okay,

575
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: so June eighteenth on Netflix outstanding. Yeah, I like getting

576
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: ahead of it instead of being behind it. This is wonderful.

577
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: Well lucky you got the screener.

578
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know I did. I was like, oh wow,

579
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: just popped up in my Netflix account. This is cool.

580
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: If they are not able to see that just yet,

581
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: because this is going to be out on June twelfth,

582
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: June twelve, so six days out. They can still watch

583
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: your stand up on Netflix also, which is psychosexual. I

584
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: have some questions for you about psychosexual.

585
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: Let's do it.

586
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: You were talking a lot about the dick pic.

587
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

588
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: It hit me for the first time because if we

589
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: talk about dickpics all the time, and I'm like, on

590
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: what planet is somebody sending me a picture of their

591
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: dick that I did not ask for? This is crazy?

592
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: Is it very different with gay men versus straight women?

593
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Because you were just like, yeah, I just sent a

594
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: dickpic and.

595
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 4: It's a good no.

596
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 5: I mean obviously, like when it's all men, it's going

597
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 5: to be grosser then.

598
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 4: You know when when it's not.

599
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, I definitely get my fair share of unsolicited

600
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 5: dick pics. I don't send many unsolicited dick pics. I

601
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: think there's like, you.

602
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: Know, so many perhaps sent one.

603
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've sent them. The thing is is like, like,

604
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 4: what is solicitation for a dick pic? You know?

605
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like it would be like, hey, you

606
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: send me a pictureiation.

607
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 5: Of like I think for some people's lines are very different,

608
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: Like I don't ever, I often don't need to say,

609
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 5: send me a picture of your dick. I say something

610
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 5: coded that is, you know, the note behind the note

611
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 5: is sent.

612
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: What is the code?

613
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 4: Dick? Hey? How are you? You know?

614
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. I swear what it feels like.

615
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: On Instagram, somebody will just be like, hey, you're like,

616
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: hey boom dick WHOA I didn't know, so now that

617
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: I know the code, you can't say no.

618
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 5: It's always a gamble and I and that's why I,

619
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: you know, try to not do.

620
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: It, you know. And now it's based on like you know,

621
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: grinder or something like that.

622
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: Though it's like it's a whole different where it's only

623
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: torsos and dicks anyway. Okay, but you probably get them

624
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: all the time.

625
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: I get a fair share.

626
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,760

665
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 5: like I'll be like, hey, nice one, you know, but

00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 5: They already have, they have like a few years ago.

674
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Say that.

675
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,360

676
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,920

677
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: That you hate.

678
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, but like my only the big thing that

679
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 5: pisses me off is that they still circulate to this day,

680
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 5: like they pop up online continually, but like they're all

681
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 5: from like twenty seventeen, and I'm like, my god, do

682
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,520

00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: And they won't get out, and I'm like.

686
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 5: Why aren't these ones getting leaked? Like it's getting to

687
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 5: the point where I'm about to leak that.

688
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you can always do it yourself.

689
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 5: It's so frustrating, sor but it is, like it's it's

690
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 5: upsetting and violating, and I, you know, don't love it.

691
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 5: I'm very lucky that I am a man, and b

692
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: I'm in an industry, and I sort of like my

693
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 5: brand as a comedian.

694
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: You know, I talk about sex so much. It's not

695
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: it didn't hurt me.

696
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 5: Professionally necessarily in the way that it might hurt someone

697
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 5: else professionally. Sure, I don't love it, but you know

698
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 5: I'm silver lining is that I am a dude, so

699
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 5: I'm not judged as harshly for it. I'm not as

700
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: like slutshame for it, and I am in entertainment, so

701
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 5: it's sort of like.

702
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: It's only a help me out exactly. The good thing

703
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: is with Ai now, I feel like if anything gets lead,

704
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: she can just be.

705
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, no, that's not me, that's not me.

706
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: You can't prove it's me, that is not me. I

707
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: have no idea what you're talking about. Moving right along.

708
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: Has this impacted your social life, your personal life getting

709
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: into standard No? Oh, I guess both.

710
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: No, yeah no. In my twenties, I like, I'm in

711
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: a relationship now. I I've been in a relationship for

712
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 4: three years. I'm deeply, deeply in love.

713
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 5: We're probably gonna get married pretty soon. But like, he's

714
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 5: my first real serious relationship that I ever like invested

715
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 5: the time in and have done the work with because

716
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 5: I was working, you know, forty fifty hours a week

717
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 5: at a day job and then doing open mics all

718
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 5: night long and then shows on the weekend, you know,

719
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 5: so I didn't have time. I was so career obsessed

720
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 5: for so long until my early thirties that I didn't

721
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 5: have time for a relationship. So in that way, stand

722
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 5: up definitely affected my dating life because I was just like,

723
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: no time for boys. And I think there was a

724
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 5: lot of mentality for me too, where I was like,

725
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 5: let me just like roll through all these guys, like,

726
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 5: have all these hookups because I need the material.

727
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: You got so much of it. That's actually great. This

728
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: is all research for my job's that's what I say

729
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: about my Google searches if and when the police come

730
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: to shut it down.

731
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 5: And it's always so funny when I hook up with

732
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 5: a guy now and they're like, oh, I hope this

733
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 5: doesn't end up and your act, and I'm like, the

734
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 5: only way it will is if you get weird, okay.

735
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 4: Like be normal, and I won't have anything to write about.

Speaker 1: Joel Kim Booster. Okay, interesting. I feel like I got

790
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: a lot of info about Dick pics, and clearly he

791
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: still wants you to send them even though he is

792
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: in a relationship and getting married maybe soon, I know.

793
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: I bet they have a lot of fun.

794
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I will say, hearing his background of growing

795
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: up in an evangelical white household adopted from Korea, that's like,

796
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: how how.

797
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: Did that show not take off?

798
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: I don't understand, completely agree with you. It's like, sitting

799
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: right there.

800
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: Stringing those words together, I was like, well, this is hilarious.

801
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 2: Yes, home school right when they teach you up until

802
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: up until junior year of high school too.

803
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: And then at what point junior year of high school

804
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: at a school outside of Chicago, were you like, this

805
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: is the time, right, send this kid off right now?

806
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong?

807
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 2: Because junior year, I feel like, is where things start

808
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: picking up, Like you're getting ready to go to college.

809
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: So you're driving, people are fucking well, yeah, it's crazy.

810
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: Junior year was wild, That's what I'm saying. And so

811
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: it's crazy that that was the age I guess that

812
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: his parents were just like, if there was ever a time,

813
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: go now exactly.

814
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: And then they found his diary under a mattress. I'm sorry, journal.

815
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: What difference isn't it's the same thing. Are there like

816
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: genders for the yes, okay, journal is male? Diaries female.

817
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 2: Don't you remember the advertisements for that nineties product. It

818
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: was like the the one where they had like the

819
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: password protected one. It was like password protected diary and

820
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: it was like for girls, yes, okay, but they had

821
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: the journal one for guys and it was like more

822
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: secret agent either, like keep your notes private, but the

823
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: girl it was like story your guns here, but the

824
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: girl one it was like, do you like want to

825
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: talk about Bobby in your own private way?

826
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: Did you have a journal or a diary when you

827
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 1: were little? Never?

828
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 2: I did?

829
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: Really, I still have them all, like all kinds of

830
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: different ones. So one I write every day, I write

831
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: one thing that made me laugh and something that I learned.

832
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: I loove that.

833
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: So that's like sort of my journal. Every now and

834
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: then I'll var off the path. I'm sorry, sorry, my diary.

835
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: I am a she her the diary is as well.

836
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: I veer off the path and I'll talk about other things.

837
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: But when I was little I had mad diaries, and yeah,

838
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: we found one of them. It was very bizarre the

839
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: timing of it, where my mom gave it to me.

840
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: It was my diary from seventh grade. I fucking hope

841
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: she didn't read it because I have a lot of

842
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: shit about them in it. But I was also in

843
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: seventh grade, so can you break? But she gave it

844
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: back to me and I'd come home, come back here.

845
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: And when I came back here it was like National

846
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: Diary Day. Randomly, and Nate said, hey, does anybody have

847
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: a diary on them? And I was like, you know what,

848
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: I know, it's my seventh grade diary. He said, just

849
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: flip it open to a page and start reading. I

850
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: flipped it open to a page and the page I

851
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: flipped it open to was me talking about how much

852
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: I hate my current boyfriend Brandon because he was evil

853
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: to me back in the day. To be fair, according

854
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: to my diary, I was also evil. I was reading

855
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: some of the stuff. I was like, oh my god,

856
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: mutual combat, there were allegations of racism, there were so

857
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: much burn book.

858
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, burn him, YEA, burn him in your diary.

859
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: I actually I have someone to burn today. Who your

860
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: friend Scott Scottie. First of all, he's been on.

861
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: Edge lately, very on edge.

862
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: No one knows what's going on with him.

863
00:37:58,960 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 4: I did.

864
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: The man is bonkers, crazy bonkers. Yes.

865
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: Second of all, he contacts me for every hangnail or

866
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: bump into a door, like he thinks that every injury,

867
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: which is not even an injury, it's just a minor inconvenience,

868
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: is a huge issue and it's going to take him

869
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: to the hospital. He sends me pictures of a scratch,

870
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: a scrape, whatever. I will say. That is a step

871
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: up from when he used to send me his belly

872
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: button lint in photo. Exactly.

873
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: Nasty arrest. My favorite was sorry not to cut you

874
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: off on that line, but when he had like a

875
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 2: stomach ache or something and then he took a picture,

876
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: he did the IV pick sent me a picture from

877
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: his bed with the IV and was like, it's not

878
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: funny anymore, dude. I was like, so you're dehydrated, you

879
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: tummy ache. Get real. The man is absurd.

880
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: So recently he allegedly broke a toe o and then

881
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: he was powerwashing outside and he like power washed off

882
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: part of his foot, which I'm not gonna lie. The

883
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: picture looked a little painful. But he's posting these pictures

884
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: of his foot online. He sends me a text message.

885
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: He was like, do you have any idea how many

886
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: people have told me not to post my feet for free?

887
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, yeah, I started an only

888
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: fans page. I'm gonna post all feet picks all the time.

889
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: He asked me, can I guess on your only fans page?

890
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: I said sure, why not seventy thirty split? He came

891
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: back and said no, sixty forty. I said no, eighty

892
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: twenty And you know what he said, I'm out. I

893
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: didn't invite you to be in. You volunteered yourself up

894
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: to be in it, negotiated like shit with me, and

895
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: then tapped out of a project. I did not invite

896
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: you to be a part of.

897
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: Could I be sixty five thirty five eighty twenty sixty

898
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,640

Speaker 1: Eighty five fifteen?

00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: What sixty five thirty five?

901
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: Maybe I have to see your feet? A lot of

00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: guys are trying to get in on this powe. I

Speaker 2: I got big feet, and I could pick things up

905
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: with my feet.

906
00:39:59,360 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: Can you pinch?

907
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,560

00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: I can?

910
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: Wow?

00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 2: Do you want to see?

912
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, he's busting it out so that's my foot.

913
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 2: Oh see, notice they're not too harry. They're a little hairy,

914
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: they're not that harry. Okay, okay, that's a nice looking foot.

915
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: You.

916
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 2: Oh, I dropped my sock. Let me just and he

00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 2: do pick pick this.

919
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,759

00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: will maybe have you guessed sixty five thirty five? Is

921
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: that smaller foot?

922
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 2: It's a little musty.

923
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: Probably you can sell those socks on craigslist. Okay, maybe

924
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: maybe if that's what you're working with, maybe we might

925
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: fetch a price. But pet the girl's dad so that

926
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: he made so much money doing OnlyFans in a year

927
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: and a half that he bought a ranch upstate that

928
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: has like hundreds of acres, hundreds of animals, And I

929
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: just think there's money to be had. I'm in people

930
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: like feet, and the biggest disposable income, apparently on OnlyFans,

931
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: where you're gonna catch the most bait is gay men.

932
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to have some guys because these

933
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: gay men not interested in my feet?

934
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 2: True?

935
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 4: Right?

936
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: Straight men? Maybe?

937
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, if they're only showing feet, how would

938
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: they know.

939
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: You've seen my feet.

940
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: They're dainty, they're very little. They definitely have diaries.

941
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: To say, these feet are writing in a diary, not

942
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: a journal. So I have to I have to lure

943
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 1: some men to the page. So I'm gonna use your feet,

944
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: Brandon's feet, maybe Scottie's, but I don't know because I

945
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: don't know if he's really invited to the page.

946
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 2: Sixty five thirty five. Again, that's all I ask.

947
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: I think this could really take off for.

948
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 2: Us if you're telling me right now that I can

949
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: make a quick three fifty just from taking a picture

950
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: of my feet. You just tell me day in time.

951
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: If people ask you to start doing weird things like

952
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: do you where do you draw a line? What won't

953
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: you do with your feet?

954
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: Uh? Oh okay, uh yeah.

955
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: My line is I will not kill something that is alive,

956
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: like stepping on bugs.

957
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: And that's the only fans.

958
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: That's a thing people. It's called like crushed porn, where

959
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: you like crush things like a goldfish. I will never

960
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: do that. I would never do only fans. I don't know.

961
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: I feel like they wouldn't allow that because it's like

962
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: animal torture.

963
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I've heard of it, and I'm

964
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: not going to step.

965
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 2: On that stuff. I had people tell me that this

966
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: is a thing doing some research.

967
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: I might have heard of it, and I was like, oh,

968
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: absolutely not a penn research. Sure I will crush a cake, yeah,

969
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: like a goldfish. Absolutely not.

970
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 2: Bugs are not my forte. I am terrified of bugs.

971
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: I save them.

972
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, not say I don't, but like, I'm not

973
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: going to step on a roach with my foot. It's disgusting. Okay,

974
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not making that.

975
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: I bet there's a market for gagging while.

976
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 2: You're doing something with your feet.

977
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: Probably it's a weird place out there.

978
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: Andrew, well, listen, let me just tell you something hot

979
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 2: summer days. My shoes. I'll sniff my own show and gag.

980
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, stop, I'm gonna pick. I told you

981
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: about this before. My friend Mike from Boston decided he

982
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: was going to side hustle for a second and he

983
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: started selling his socks on Craigslist. And he's definitely a

984
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: sweaty person, so he decaid he's going to sell these socks.

985
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: So he meets up with this guy he said he

986
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: ran around all day, got him extra nasty and like soaked,

987
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: puts him a go ahead gag because he puts them

988
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: in a bag and gives him to this guy off

989
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: Craigsli's seventy five dollars for a pair of use socks.

990
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: That's amazing. The guy contacted him later and told him

991
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: I want my money back because these are not nearly

992
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: as nasty as what I was promised. First of all,

993
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: I promise you, Mike, socks were disgusting. Second of all,

994
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: can you request a refund from something like that?

995
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 2: No, I'm really not right. Yeah, it's not like you're

996
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: giving someone a receipt. Thanks so much for going to

997
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: my sweaty sock.

998
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: Depot, right, like I guaranteed to make a pew.

999
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 2: My one friend's boyfriend is on OnlyFans. Oh and he's

1000
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 2: making so much money?

1001
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: Does he take out his dinner?

1002
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: So charges a entry fee that's just to get on

1003
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: the page. Okay, Then for each additional thing he up

1004
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: charges so, oh, do you want the dinger pick that's

1005
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: going to be an extra fifty Yeah. Oh you want

1006
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: this that's gonna be an extra hundred.

1007
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he whips out the dinner, yes, okay, but.

1008
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: For the extra money. So then it's like the forty

1009
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: Bucks is like a tease, but you want the picks tea.

1010
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: It's like his balls. Yeah, or maybe it's like blurred

1011
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: out a little bit, like.

1012
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: Well, get the answer right now. I think we should

1013
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: get to the asking anything.

1014
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 2: Oh, let me get it, hold on, okay, yeah. This

1015
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 2: question comes from Cubert six ' four to two. They ask,

1016
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: and this one's fun, what's your favorite color?

1017
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: We already did this, I think.

1018
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: Okay. This one asks what's your favorite food?

1019
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: Have to pick like an actual, like one specific thing

1020
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: or can it be a cuisine?

1021
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: This is your desert island food?

1022
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: Can I say Indian food?

1023
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: So okay? I actually had this argument not to take

1024
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: over please, but we at a dinner I was at.

1025
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: The person said potatoes is number one as a favorite food.

1026
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, is this like.

1027
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: Like just at like you're on a desert island.

1028
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 2: He's trying to make it sound like potatoes are multifaceted?

1029
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: Are they could become French fries, potato chips if you

1030
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 2: have a fryer, this what I said. But I said

1031
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 2: potatoes as a whole are his favorite food? Thoughts.

1032
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't argue with someone that tells you

1033
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: that's their favorite food. That's his favorite food.

1034
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: But Greek food came in at number three, so I

1035
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: was confused. Ice cubes were also in there.

1036
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm now I'm totally thrown off.

1037
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: No, it's a very odd top ten.

1038
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying, Like, is it cuisine, because

1039
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: if it's cuisine, I would definitely pick Indian food second tie.

1040
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: I love it. I know, Oh my god, I could

1041
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 2: go for some red curry right now.

1042
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: Shall we go get it for lunch? We should probably

1043
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: go over there.

1044
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1045
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: Number two. If it's just like one item, I could

1046
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: see potato, but you would have to be able to

1047
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: cook that in all the different ways, and I don't

1048
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: think on a desert island you can cook it. But also,

1049
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: is it your favorite food or your desert island food,

1050
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: because those would be different too.

1051
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1052
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 2: I mean for me, it's like a potato is good,

1053
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 2: but it's not as good as like bread. Bread's always

1054
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: going to be for me higher than a potato.

1055
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: Mm, both carbs. I think if it was a desert

1056
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: island food, I'd have to go with fish.

1057
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 2: So fish is your desert island food.

1058
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like there's so many different types of fish.

1059
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: I don't fucking know, but it seems like you could

1060
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: really cook it well on a fire, like a campfire,

1061
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: get some flavor.

1062
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. Okay, this is tough for me.

1063
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: I think I'm going bread bread. I could one hundred

1064
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 2: percent like the prisoner diet, like sometimes this is one

1065
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: of my favorite snacks and it sounds terrible. I love

1066
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 2: pretzels and water. It is a true prisoner's diet.

1067
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: Like you dip one in the other is done. It

1068
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: picks it back and forth.

1069
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: I'll quickly crunch a pretzel and then drink some water

1070
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: and be like, m yeah, that's the right stuff.

1071
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: You're disgusting. Diamond Andrew just said that his favorite jail

1072
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: snack pretzels and water.

1073
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 3: Andrew is literally a lunatic. I don't understand why I'm shocked.

1074
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 3: I shouldn't be, but pretzels and water. If I went

1075
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: to jail, I'm meaning everything that they have allergy list included,

1076
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 3: because then they'll send me to somewhere where like.

1077
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: Special people are.

1078
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 3: Probably I won't be in gin pop with the losers.

1079
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: What's your favorite food and then we're gonna wrap it

1080
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: up pizza?

1081
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: Hm cool?

1082
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: So kind of like Italian, but not really, is that

1083
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: your desert island food. No, because we're thinking of sustenance.

1084
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 3: So maybe like a cheeseburger, because it's hardy to like

1085
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 3: beef a steak, you know what I mean.

1086
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 1: I feel like that would get you high cholesterol, whereas

1087
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: like pizza, you could put some pepperoni or something all theregie.

1088
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it doesn't have a veggie tomatoes or veggies.

1089
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: Oh, cheese burger, I think they're fruits.

1090
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: Whatever is this what this episode is about?

1091
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: This episode has been all over the place. Well, yeah,

1092
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,879
