you'll see that your vacation isn't really over until your flight is over.
Fly Emirates, fly better.
No, no, no, he's up. He's this way. He's this way.
Oh, this way.
Yeah, he's this way.
There he is!
No way.
He's running!
He's running!
He's running!
He's just all on camera.
We got to run.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the Fear and podcast.
We are live here from Hong Kong, China, on our last day of this marvelous.
trip. Yes. I am joined by my fellow co-host,
Will Neff and Hassan Piker. Yes.
For another great episode, and as you can tell, we are dressed to the nines.
We're dressed Chinese. We're dressed. Yeah. We're dressed all Chinese. We're Chinese now.
It's official. We're fully Chinese. Right. We're China maxing. We have China maxed. Yes, we have maxed out on China. You guys just reminded me of that, like, that one, have you guys ever seen Major League? No.
where he's like doing the ad reads and he's like today's game brought to you by
Coca-Cola and they're like Pepsi and he's like who gives a shit
you guys are both tapped out no no we are tapped in I'm tapped in for the pod
but I am definitely tapped out I've been it's been 13 days of like 15 to 17 hour streaming
right I think because like at least you guys start at like 10 a.m. I'm starting at 4 a.m.
every day, which
which made things
which made, yeah, for sure, but
you know, this is
an expensive trip, okay?
I'm selling like Austin now.
It's an expensive trip. We got, no,
I mean, I, there was a lot of news to cover. I have
to do that. Otherwise people are, we'll lose their
fucking minds. Yeah. No. People do
lose their minds, even when I do it for four hours
and then do four hours of, I do four hours of news coverage and then four
hours of IRL and people are just like,
why aren't you talking about this or that? I'm like,
I'm a human being.
Like I'm in China.
I want to live life
and I want to enjoy things.
Look, it's been a marvelous trip.
Yeah.
I think I came in here with expectations
that the United States
was the greatest country on earth.
Right.
And I leave with that.
But...
But, no, no.
In all seriousness,
I leave with a little jealousy
that we are not better
in many areas,
but I still do have hope for our future.
Yeah.
And I think we, it, China has showed me what we could be in many areas.
Obviously, you know, realistically, I think there are some things that I do miss about home.
Like, like, we will be out of China by the time this airs.
You can say whatever you want.
All right, I'll tell you.
I miss the ability to go on the internet and freely go to any app that I'd please without being restricted and censored.
Okay.
Right?
I think that that's a fair critique.
Other than that, shit, I don't know.
I don't really know.
Okay, that's like a...
I also, oh, you know what I missed?
This is really good.
You know what's really good about this?
Because it's like an insane trade-off when you think about it,
where you're like, I asked Irene.
Yeah.
I think Will was with me after we went and we got our Chinese luggage.
I turned around to Irene and I said, Irene, you're around our age.
I want to ask you a question that I don't think, like,
I think it's going to come across as strange to you.
Do you have any issues with affordability?
like the way the the the way things cost
and she was so confused
like it wasn't like a mistranslation
like she speaks perfect English
she was just like no
why would that be an issue
like it was a whole different world
for someone who is our age
living in China it's not like she's bawling
you know she's not like a content creator
or anything like that she's not super wealthy
or anything and it was just so
outside of her realm of understanding
the notion that she would have
any issues with rent or any issues with like purchasing things whatsoever. And I feel like that's
the tradeoff. It's like, yeah, you can't have the apps, which is, which sucks. I agree. But then also
everything is way cheaper and you have a home. Yeah. Well, we already have homes. We're in the
top one percent of wealth in America. I know. Obviously it's not a problem for us, but I'm saying
for the average person.
I'm going to be honest.
Both you guys
have never experienced
the level of Chinese
that Marsh and I were today.
If you at home,
don't know,
Marsh and I went on a one-hour tour
that turned into a five-hour trip
to go get these suits.
Right here.
Okay, first of all,
you also had to get
your second fitting done
for also your custom-made suit
that I got for you.
Don't act like it wasn't...
It wasn't just for the...
I think that's the reason
why you had to go.
Yes, you literally
physically had to be there
with March
so that they could give you a second fitting.
In fact, I think they would have probably delivered them to Hong Kong.
But we do appreciate...
Thank you for getting the suit.
The fact that you did that.
Thank you for...
Thank you for...
Thank you for spending five hours.
No!
Oh, my God.
You're rubbing your ass on my Zhongshan suit.
Only these two pieces of shit could receive a favor
and then be like, no, we did you a favor
by making you go on a five-hour trip on your last day.
You had to go because they had to literally physically...
Right. Did I ask for a suit?
You didn't want a suit?
Now you sound like me!
That's what I would say.
If you didn't want a suit, then that's fine.
The people were fantastic. I'm glad we went,
but let me fill my story now, you cock suckers.
We,
Marsh and I became more Chinese than you will ever be
because we did like a Tijuana-style day trip
to mainland China.
We ate duck neck and kidney and crawdads in the subway.
In the subway, we had tea with a Chinese family that were, oh, my God, they are the sweetest genuine human.
The Taylor, right?
The Taylor.
They took us into his home, and I'm telling you, that was it.
That was the moment where I became Chinese.
Irene even said, you are white Chinese today.
respect.
Right.
Good.
And that was a big moment for me.
And I don't know if you two ever achieved.
It's like going Super Sam, right?
Yeah.
You are like the Vigita mode of it.
Like you thought that you achieved white Chinese,
but you'll never understand what it means to be white Chinese.
You know what?
I'll give it to you because I don't think I'll ever be that.
But you can have it.
Which I, you know, I don't know.
I just, I don't think I'll ever be Chinese.
Well, no.
Since you're so Chinese, you already know what is about to start here.
A little grain alcohol.
Little motel.
There is a chance that because we get fucked up, that's from my minibar.
I'm just going to cover our bases.
This might be the Patreon episode because if the Patreon episode slaps because we're already tanked,
I'm going to put it as the main episode.
Okay.
That is my...
Thank you.
This is, what I just cracked open, how much does it cost, Christian?
You want to look at it in the mini bar?
I'm sure it's on the menu over there.
You pulled it out of the mini.
Yes, this is already a very...
Brothers and sisters.
I'll pay for it.
We could have Uber eats that.
It's still like, this is...
I want to know how much it costs on this mini bar,
specifically. Worst case, I'll bring
mine down for my...
This is $115.
That's actually...
Actually, it's relatively affordable for how
expensive this is at the store.
Yep. Because
these things, they're tiny.
but they have an
unimaginable alcohol content
it's 53%
this is 50 milliliters
and this is the best version of it
I think the motai
actually I don't even know
if this is the best version of it but
this is Kwai Chow
Moti
Crack that shit open
Firewater
Chinese fire water
Crack it open
Do we have little cups
To drink this out of like the
You have to be careful
Because it's very deadly
What
we should probably measure it
because they told me
like just a fraction of it
could get you just
if I drank that whole thing
it would kill me
when we went
when we were in Beijing
at the peace and love ceremony
fucking hotel
or whatever
the peace hotel
I don't no no
no that was in
that was in Shanghai
but I'm saying the first one
yeah
no no
the where we went to the Beijing duck
the Peking Duck
that was a Hilton Hotel
that was a Hilton Hotel
but it was like a like a special
conference room
And when they served this, after two shots of this, I was already...
It wasn't even a shot.
It was like this much.
It wasn't even a shot.
It was like a baby shot.
Just that much.
This is very high alcohol content, 53% volume, but like overall...
What?
Caroline Kwan is here.
What?
Oh, she's picking up here for the twink.
Okay.
Yes, thank you.
She said the suits were lovely.
Do you like it?
She said it's amazing.
and she said, Austin, you particularly look the best.
Yeah.
What, the socks?
Oh, those are the fan that gave us those socks.
Should we just sip on it?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, we'll sip on a little bit.
So I will be monitoring your sipping, though, because I want you to drink this.
Yes, I'll drink a little bit.
So I have something to, okay.
Dumbay.
Bambai.
I have something to tell you guys.
that you already know
but I'm going to share
for the podcast audience
anyway
I got catfish
yep
for the first time
in history
I got catfished
so if you
if you don't know
um
Austin
Austin
I watched no
go keep going
you're faking it
you're faking it
have to down it quick.
The more it stays in your mouth, the worse it gets for you.
It is very high alcohol content.
My lips are burning.
Yeah, I think we just, I think it's easier to get at it if we all sip out of this.
Oh, you're gonna, you're, you're downing all of it.
Yeah.
Wait, that's all there is in.
Yeah.
Oh.
I mean, I did take a rip-oroni.
I'll be honest with you.
I'll be honest.
I'm going to be plastered off of that one little.
sick. I'm telling you. I feel so
warm. I'm telling you. Yeah,
the Patreon is going to become the main one and the main one's
going to become the Patreon. All right, we'll see. We'll see how it goes.
So, um, I got
catfished. You're going to drink
three-day old champagne.
Okay.
Smart.
Austin, go on with your story.
So I got catfished, all right?
So as you may know or may not know
for those at home, um, I
used a gay hookup app called
Grindr. Okay. And I'm,
met somebody on Grindr who
I perceived to be very attractive
and their photos did look
worked a little bit. You know, I think we all
you know, there may be a little filter
you know, yeah, it's very common
to do this. And I was like, okay, I see the photos but I was like, you know
what, I can't picture a version of this person
that isn't attractive. Like I just, I think
they're very good looking. I don't see anything
that I can't perceive as attractive. So I'm like, okay,
what do you want to do? And he's like, well, I'm going out to a
why don't you meet me out of the club with my friend and we can, you know, see where it goes
from there.
I'm like, perfect.
So I, uh, and we had made a commitment to like.
Was this for a three way?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we had made a commitment to, I'm just specifying for the viewers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We had made a commitment that it was going to go down.
Right.
All right.
And that was the commitment.
It's going to go down.
Contractual or?
Not contractual.
Handshake agreement.
Right.
Got it got it.
So I'm like, okay, it's going to go down.
and, um, and I, uh, I'm just, I, my ADHD is atrocious and Marsh coming in there to pour the,
I just got distracted. So, oh, yeah, no, I'm just gonna keep. There's very little left. There's
there's go. Finish it. Down it. Down it. There you go. That's not too much. That's not too much.
What's on? Oh, what's on? That's too much. No, it was very little.
Mmm, yummy.
So anyway, I was on.
I'm going to puke.
So anyway, verbal agreement to meet up.
So time approaches.
I go pick up supplies from the local store and I'm like, okay, it's going to go down.
So I meet him out at a gay bar.
Right.
And I walk up and I see him from a distance and I immediately go from 500 feet away.
I can look and I see him and I go, oh, fuck.
This person does not look like I thought he did.
was it can you like you need to describe us in great detail because i didn't even recognize him
to a point where look was he a bad looking person no but he wasn't my type anymore
wait wait wait wait explain in great detail what you had previously thought he looked like
a model a model okay but like skinny uh facial features i
I think his body probably was...
I couldn't tell because he was like...
He was in a fucking sick ass fit, though.
His outfit was insane.
So what was it?
I don't even want to say he was chopped.
He may see it.
You never know.
Fear and is huge here.
I asked you if he knew who you were and you said he had no idea.
I don't think he knew who I was.
But he didn't tell me that.
But people don't necessarily do that.
Anyway, regard...
Y'all, this alcohol is fucking me up.
Good, that's why we made you drink it
Uti
Anyways, so
Baito
His face was just not what I thought it was
It was tuned, he was wearing
A lot of makeup
Which is fine
I support you
Wait, you wear makeup
Was he wearing makeup when he met you?
Yes
Was it like
Was it the makeup that you didn't like?
His face just didn't look like it did
He just didn't look like
He did you show me what this dude
Looks like on the app
No, we're no longer
associated with each other.
Blocked them.
Instant.
You saw it though.
No.
So,
Austin, you didn't take screenshots?
No!
What was I gonna do?
I was fighting for my life.
Hassan.
So I approached,
well, let me get into it.
I just need to know what kind of...
Because, like, look,
we're not being weird about this,
but like Chinese beauty standards
are very different.
Like, if you...
When I first went live on BDBD,
they literally had this filter on my face.
like their auto filters they have on BDBD
he looks cute
immediately like
makes your face smaller
and makes it pointier
and your eyes bigger
like that's the type of
that's the type of shit
they're doing out here
the photos that looked online
did not look like they had those features
like the photos didn't look like
they were throwing like
it was a reverse filter situation
photos made him look
not like that
and he walked up looking like an anime character
is that reason? No his photos
looked like they were
I didn't even perceive them to be Photoshop
but they looked good
were highly obviously in retrospect they were highly edited but then i met him in person and i was
like oh no you know yeah anyway i don't want to say this man was ugly i think a lot of people
may perceive him to be attractive a lot of people may perceive him to be attractive i don't think
he was ugly at all i think he was a good looking guy okay you did not you just did not like him
i did not find him i did not find him personally attractive but he's probably something for somebody
because this guy was not an ugly person he was probably something for somebody is the worst way
to describe someone while simultaneously trying to make it seem like he is like traditionally
or conventionally handsome.
It wasn't going to work.
Okay.
And I went in there and I was like, hey, nice to meet you.
I gave him a hug.
And I was like, well, let's go inside.
And I was thinking to myself, I was like, I've never been in this situation.
Was he Chinese?
Yes.
Well, no, I don't know.
He was Asian.
It said he was mixed ethnicity is what he, what is profan.
Okay.
So he was Asian?
you think? I don't know. I don't know. I didn't ask.
I didn't ask. Oh, you didn't even get to that level.
I didn't think it was appropriate. What are you?
You know what I mean? Who's asking that?
Dog, you're about to be inside of him in like
15 minutes. You think that's a prerequisite
to be like, excuse me. Before I enter you.
No. What is your...
It's not a pre-requisite. I'm just saying
all bets are off at that point. He literally
strolled downtown, gotten a fucking red cab,
probably got into almost a car accident on the way over here.
For the record. For the record, he was
going out anyways. I was not,
him going out had nothing to do with me.
I just want to make that clear.
I don't know, man.
I already had a family. I already had a family emergency.
I think what we're going to do right now is I'm going to alleviate you from any stress
you're feeling about not being political about this situation.
You've stripped it of any of its humor by being so political about it.
So I'm going to tell it from my perspective.
No, I've been trying to needle.
in the comments. I need to finish my story. Okay, please do. I need to finish my story.
Okay, but you're like, I'm at this nondescript male. I'm not assuming his gender. He told me.
He could have been handsome to most people. Yeah. This nondescript male, I will not be giving you a hype. Just not my type. Yeah. Well, because I don't know, like people. I'm not the best looking guy on the planet. You know, baby. People don't think that I'm their type. I love using Sikh geek. Me too. Oh, me too. I love going to concerts and listening to music. It's favorite past time.
And when I do listen to music famously, I love using C-Geek.
Sometimes I just go on C-Geek, and I just look at the music I could be listening to.
Oh, it's so fun.
Department shopping.
Yeah, basically.
I'm just scrolling through, I'm like...
Yeah, what's your favorite music?
Charlie X-CX and Taylor Swift.
And Taylor Swift.
And those are not the artist that we named in the Patreon episode that is in my...
Maddie Healy of the 1975.
You got the year right.
Oh, your third fave.
Yeah.
And also, uh, deaf punk.
They are broken up.
They are not doing.
That's not.
Seekek is good, but so if you love music like Hassan Piker, what are you waiting for?
Take out your phone.
Open the Seatgeek ad and add the code fear 10 to your account to make sure you get 10% off your
next set of tickets.
That's code fear 10 for 10% off any tickets.
on seat gig
So
anyways
I go into
the
now that's
out of the
way
I go into
the bar
Joe Biden
five minutes
stand up
set
that it can
offend
absolutely no
one
do you folks
like ice cream
vanilla
is my
favorite
but other
flavors are
good too
so
look
I go in the
bar
I meet him
I go in the
bar
and he
introduces me to his friend.
Right. And you mentioned that the friend
puts you off almost as much as he did.
More almost. Because she was
white, which is totally fine.
Ooh. Right. And he
says to me,
I said, hello, nice to meet you.
And then he goes, she doesn't speak
English. So I immediately go,
Privyat. And then she goes,
she looks at me and he's like, no, no, she
only speaks Chinese. And I go, okay.
Great. So you met.
Someone in Hong Kong who was white, like, we're talking white white, like, yeah, like White, like Will White. Will White only spoke Chinese. I don't know why we're using me as a yardstick, but that's fine. Then I go, Nihau, and she goes, she just looks at me deadpan and won't even shake my hand. Well, that's because she probably speaks Cantonese. Yeah, she probably speaks Cantonese, yeah. But he told me she only spoke Chinese. Right, you spoke Mandarin to her. You're in a Cantonese region. Yeah. And people from Hong Kong get real.
Joe Biden, the press
doors falling apart.
The man whose life mission is never to offend anybody
immediately comes in and goes
anyhow. She's like, this motherfucker just got the wrong Chinese.
No, no. Wait, wait. I thought it was, I thought Chinese and Cantonese
were two separate things.
No, Mandarin and Cantonese are
different versions of the Chinese.
No wonder she didn't respond to me.
I learned something today.
I learned something today.
I learned that every region in China
actually has its own regional dialectic
and Mandarin and Cantonese
are just the most affluent.
That kind of have taken on a bunch of the other...
Okay, so I fucked up.
No wonder she didn't say anything.
There's also like, there's also political drama
surrounding it too.
There's political drama surrounding it
because like Hong Kong wants to...
Keep Cantonese.
...maintain like the Hong Kong identity
is a separate thing from China.
It's offensive if you speak.
to a Cantonese speaker in Mandarin.
So she's sitting there
and then she excuses herself and leaves
and then it's just him and I'm like,
you know, I'm thinking I'm like, I've gotten this far,
I feel a lot of pressure, I feel like
maybe I can drink my way through this.
Okay.
So I order a vodka soda. Right.
And then I keep talking to him
and I'm like, I can't drink my way through this.
So immediately I'm like,
I don't know what to do.
So I need to excuse myself.
So I said,
excuse me,
I am going to go have a cigarette outside.
Austin does not smoke.
I don't smoke.
Well, he carries cigarettes, though.
I do.
And I immediately got outside, and I was like, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.
And then all of a sudden, I felt free, and I just started running.
Yes.
I just started running.
And I was like, I need to get out of here, and I started running.
And I was like, you know what?
I have free will.
I don't have to do anything.
Right.
I don't owe anybody anything.
That's right.
So I started running.
And I just kept running.
And I was running.
And I was running and running and running.
And I ran and I ran.
Yeah.
And finally, I felt free.
And I said, God, get me into a car.
Get me into a taxi.
I need to leave.
And that's what happened.
And we're about to do this Momento style.
You got Austin's chain of events.
Now I'm going to give you the.
opposite side of this, ready?
Boom. Christopher Nolan,
two different editor styles.
Karras, if you're watching this.
I'm ready for the fan at it.
All right, here we go.
I'm out with the ladies and Marsh,
and we're getting absolutely
fucking rip shit.
I'm 10 drinks deep.
And Christian turns to me and goes,
oh, Austin and I are going
to a gay bar tonight.
And I go, really? It's 11 o'clock
at night. I feel like Austin would be
no, Austin's in the bathtub.
And I go, this is unusual.
This is unlike my best friend.
Once he's in, he's usually in.
But then we receive something even more mysterious.
A FaceTime call from Austin's show, not in the bathtub.
However, walking out of a Chinese convenience store and the tumblers, they start to click.
No, he's not in the bathtub.
He's procuring supplies.
Wow.
How did you know?
How did you know?
And I said to Christian, I said, you guys are going to go have a three-way.
And he said, no.
And I said, watch this.
And I put his phone on the table face up.
And then I took your phone.
And I said, are you meeting a third tonight?
We're watching the ellipses.
We're watching the ellipses.
Yes.
And I went, man, do I know my best friend?
He's up to no good.
Yes.
So when you guys are going to the gay club, we have each had about five leachie martinis.
and we are going to walk to a restaurant,
a Burger King, and slam some fast food.
But Christian's like, oh, would you guys walk me
into the gay club?
And I was like, yeah, I want to see Austin.
I maybe want to see this person
they're meeting up with.
Let's all walk.
So we are walking, and we're walking,
and it's about a 15-minute walk,
and about three minutes.
Christian stops dead in his tracks.
Oh, my God.
Guys, look at this.
I go over, and it says,
SLS, I've just been catfished.
And I go, oh my God.
And at this point, it's a secret because I don't want to reveal anything.
But the next message that comes through...
Was it really a secret?
It was a secret.
Because I have additional information on this.
Wait, just listen.
Just listen.
Within the next 30 seconds, a second message came through.
That changed the situation.
Oh, my God, I need to run.
I'm running.
When I receive the message, oh, my God, I need to run.
I am running.
I immediately thought that Austin's show was in peril.
Immediate peril.
Well, he was.
He was.
But also, he was liberated.
He was free.
He was liberated.
So we start beaming down the street.
And editor, please cut this in.
We see an Austin show.
This is on Caroline Kwan.
Yeah, I saw the video.
We see.
And Hussain Bolt version of Austin's show.
Usain.
Shows.
Naurito running.
Pinned back, absolutely cranking out of the darkness like the gay flash.
I was.
No way.
He's running.
He's running.
He's just all on camera.
We embraced him.
How long did you run?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, the craziest.
The craziest part is before I left the bar, I couldn't find the door.
So I was running around in the bar.
I started running in the bar.
And I was like immediately, I ran into the smoking section.
I think I was in the kitchen at one point.
I was looking for the door trying to get out because it was a gay bar and it's Hong Kong.
I don't know what the fuck.
They had it like blocked off or something.
Oh my God.
And I finally got out.
They probably didn't have it blocked off.
We just had no idea where the door.
I don't know where the door was.
Anyway, regardless, look, I got out, and look, I, you know, in hindsight, maybe I should have pulled the gentleman aside and said, hello, it's not going to work.
You know what?
But if someone catfishes you, I don't think you owe that to them.
I know, I don't even know, but it was definitely the same person.
It was just like an unrecognizable, like the photos were, like, significantly edited.
I just don't understand what that means.
Like, I still, I can't.
I want to visualize it.
You know, I think it's like a romance novel.
We have to just picture it in our mind.
Yeah, that's true.
Yes.
So, anyway, that's my story, and I will be doing more checks in the future.
Right, right?
More checks.
How could you check to not get caffish?
What would you do?
You could have them.
Passport.
You could probably have them send you a live photo.
You could add them on like a quick video app.
You could FaceTime them.
Ooh, I'm so excited for our three-way.
Please send me a brief video of you holding today's newspaper.
While he was running, while he was running,
the cogs were turning in his head thinking, like,
how can I avoid this in the future?
I mean, yeah.
I mean, how can I avoid it in the future?
And let me tell you something.
Grindr is like high stakes gambling.
Okay.
It's like high stakes gambling because you're sitting there.
You obviously want to get laid.
You have a myriad of options and you're trying to go from one option to the next
and you don't and you know these people are doing the exact same thing that you are
and you don't want to commit because what if something better comes along, right?
And so a lot...
What?
That's what you're thinking?
No, no.
I think everybody is thinking this.
Okay.
Everybody is thinking this.
Because you don't want to make a commitment
because you're like,
well, what if something else is more my thing?
And that's something that I'd like to do.
And so you're dealing with all of this.
But in a certain point...
Have you ever heard of the adage?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the butt?
What?
What does that mean?
I think you might have modified that a little bit.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
What does that mean?
What you possess is always worth more than what you could.
possess.
So basically you should take what you have in your hand.
Yes.
Always.
And last night I had something in my hand.
There you go.
Well, you had another hookup planned and then you switched it for this guy?
The other one was planned.
Wait, you had another hookup plan?
Yeah.
What?
There's a story here.
But, I'm a night shamanla.
But, but, but I was a little wishy-washy on the community.
commitment to that one, but he also ghosted us.
And he didn't respond within a good amount of time, so I made a commitment to the other one.
So can I tell you something? I have an update on this. Okay. So you know how you said, oh, it was
like, it was private. Like, this was a private moment for Austin. Right. It was not a
fucking private moment for Austin because I woke up to people pinging me in my disc. No, it was on
stream. That was on stream.
It wasn't private because they caught me running on stream
No, but before
Did you, I typed it in the chat after they all knew
Oh, okay, because I thought you told Will
Like, I'm being catfished or whatever
And then you, and I couldn't tell it you
No, no, no, Christian, okay, let me give you the order of events
Christian pulls the phone up
Towards his chest and goes, come look at this
So I knew it was a message that I had to read off stream
And as I am reading it, the message
I need to run
I am running comes through
and that's when I was like
oh my God
yeah because I have the message
that he sent in Discord
you sent a message of Discord
in my Discord
in my Discord
I was traumatized
he wrote
it's got to be here somewhere
hold on it's got to be the Comrade Board
I suspect
Well while you're searching for that
our next topic is one
that I think you won't be pleased
with. Austin show your recommendation of the Ritz Carlton. Amazing, fantastic. Oh, yes. What an accommodation.
The gym, I've spent so many fantastic hours atop the world, drinking a protein shake,
having a coffee, eating a banana. I mean, you really chose a fantastic place, and I'd like to give
you your flowers for that. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we are sitting on the 116th floor.
Two floors above us is the world's tallest bar. In the world.
Yes, the world's tallest bar
And we are looking out over Hong Kong
I was able to secure
An upgrade for the team
Yes
Wait, wait, okay
You're jumping
You're jumping into our next topic
You're jumping into this topic
Every rose when I give you your rose
Has it's thorn
I want to sell some things
I sell everything I own constantly
Because I always want new things
So I have to sell my old things
Out with the old and with the news
Yeah, and you know what, doesn't hold me back being stupid and dumb?
Because sometimes I'm stupid and dumb, but even a dummy like me can figure out how to use Shopify.
Me too.
I'm also stupid.
You're not in this conversation.
But I also use shop at a buck.
You've never sold anything in your life.
I sell so much merchandise and Shopify.
You wish you could sell like I do.
Sorry, you were saying something.
So anyway, I sell everything I find.
Sometimes I find sand dollars and I take them home and I think, freak, you know who would love this?
They're small mollusks.
Yeah.
Okay.
The mollusks would like it back and they're able to buy it on my Shopify.com website.
You're kidnapping the children of mollocks and selling them at Shopify.
I don't know why you're always making this about you.
What is he doing?
What is he doing?
Anyway, turn those what ifs and why not and keep giving those big dreams your best shot with Shopify.
That's awesome.
And I have big dreams to return all of the sand dollars to the mollusks if they want to purchase them from me.
And you can sign up for your $1 per month trial.
Start selling today at Shopify.com slash fear.
Go to Shopify.com slash fear.
That's Shopify.com slash fear.
Would you like to talk about...
Hold on.
The upgrade situation?
Let's set the scene.
Let's set the scene.
We travel...
I'll be Austin's show.
You be Hassan.
Okay.
We are traveling from Chengdu to Hong Kong.
Okay.
And after an entire day's worth of travel, we finally get to the Ritz Carlton.
Austin's show has petitioned...
Let me get to the desk for.
Austin's show...
I need to work my magic.
Austin show is petitioned to come to the Ritz-Carlton.
I find out while we're arriving at Ritz-Carlton,
that Ritz-Carlton is actually a Marriott property.
Yes.
This will be relevant later.
We walk up.
Austin sees the nativity scene and he says,
Oh!
Wait, wait.
What a great nativity scene.
I feel at home.
Let me explain the situation we're facing, though.
We are one sweet short.
Yes.
We are one sweet short.
So Maricio doesn't have a suite.
Yeah.
And we thought it would be nice for Maricio to have a sweet.
But none of us are high maintenance if we don't have a suite.
If I don't have a suite, if I don't have a suite, it's okay.
And Austin graciously does, let me talk to him.
Because what did he say?
No, no, no.
No, no, let me correct the record.
Let me correct the record.
We all wanted a suite.
All of us wanted a suite.
I said out loud that I was okay without a suite.
Okay.
Well, Marsh and I said out loud that we were not okay without a suite.
Okay.
So Austin says, I'm an ambassador, I'll speak with them.
And I go, oh, you can use, this was the first indication, something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I go, oh, you should use some of your upgrade points.
He goes, no, those have cash value.
I can't.
Yeah, he also believes personally that he can be the first point billionaire and
purchase a Marriott property one day with just the points that he has from Marriott.
And he's like, I'm an ambassador.
I got this.
It's true.
And he, we walk up, we walk up to the 113th floor.
Where the lobby is or, no, the lobby at first.
And Austin, and I walk up and I'm about to hang my place where Austin stops me.
Yep.
And says, hold on.
Well, because he was.
I got this.
He was going to fuck it up.
Yeah.
He was going to fuck it up.
He was going to fuck it all up.
By checking into my room.
He was going to fuck up the whole thing because once you check in, it's done.
Okay.
Once you check in, you've accepted.
accepted what they've given you. There's no
going back. Well, Austin... It's like
signing a contract. Austin intercepts. Once you checked
in, it's over. You've got to do everything before
you check in. Austin intervenes.
Okay, he dives in
front of me and he starts
talking to the front desk.
And then they take us up to
the club lounge. This is now,
we're now at, we went from 113
to 116.
The world. Yes. And we are
mesmerized by the beauty
of Hong Kong. We're thinking. We're
thinking, wow, we waited
in long lines. Dazzling lights.
I'm a little bum because I don't have my
visa arrangement, so I
can't even go to Shenzhen the next day, but it's all
right, because Hong Kong is beautiful. We're going
to down some butter chicken and
rice, and we're going to sit here as
Austin handles
all of the details for us.
And gets a free
sweet out of them.
Austin comes back.
What does Austin say? Go ahead.
Well, Austin comes back.
to the table with a halfway grin
and a look as though he knows he's about
about to be chastised. No, no, his chest was puffing as though he had done
something. It was both shades. So go ahead, awesome.
Well, I sat down at that desk and I looked her straight in the eye and I said, look,
we've got five rooms here. We're spending a tremendous amount of money.
We want an extra sweet. And I know as an ambassador,
I am loyal to your brand.
And I believe we should get that for free.
I'm the,
I'm the reception desk employee.
Okay, are you ready?
Yeah.
Mr. Show.
We're in Hong Kong, so I have a British accent.
Mr. Show.
You have 1,250,000 points.
No, no, no.
As a Mary-Ott ambassador.
This is you don't, you can't be laid at the desk as you use.
Would you like to use any of your points?
You can't use the points.
On an upgrade.
To potentially upgrade.
They are not eligible for a point.
They are, he doesn't even fucking know.
You can't use your point.
This is, look at it.
No, Mr. Show, you are very capable of using your points.
You are loyal.
You have no account or anything.
You don't even know how the program works.
Right.
You can use points for an upgrade.
What are the points for?
What are the points for?
You can buy, you can, you can book hotel stays, but that's got to be done through the app.
It's got to be done beforehand.
There's like, there's like, there's like a deter.
a predetermined amount.
You can't like, it's just like the airlines.
You can't just use points willy-nilly.
You can just choose.
It's not like currency.
Given your ambassador status, we've decided you can use the points.
They told me this.
They said, well.
Please use your points, Mr. Show.
You've created a crisis.
It's like the Satoshi Bitcoin.
You can't use you many points.
There's a finite amount of points, Mr. Show.
You cannot.
First of all, it's 1.5 million points.
You will tank the number.
number of points available for the rest of us.
You cannot use your points for upgrades.
Hand on the Bible.
Swear on my mother.
Okay.
You cannot use version of upgrade.
No, I think he's being truthful.
So she says,
fucking joking.
She does not fuck around about this shit.
She says to me, it's very disrespectful.
Very disrespect.
So she, she tells me, she says,
she says, well, I'm so sorry, sir,
but this is above your thing.
And I said, okay.
Well, wait, wait, they said this is above your pay grade?
No, she said, she said, well, because you're an ambassador, we can't give it to you for free,
but we can offer it to you a significant discount.
Okay.
Wait, but hold on.
There's a point system that means that there's someone above you?
No, no, no, no.
What she meant was, even though you're an ambassador, which is the highest status,
it doesn't make you eligible for any upgrades beyond the suite that you already are booked in.
Okay.
Okay, and this is like a higher-level suite.
I bet you there's a higher status.
No, there's no.
There's not.
They don't give you complimentary upgrades into this sweet level,
which I think is ridiculous, and that's something that I'll discuss privately.
But regardless, she said, well, I can give it to you at a significant discount as a gesture of goodwill.
So Austin comes, you know, pacing back to us.
And he goes...
No, no, no. It was so kind of him to reach down into his own wall.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, hold on.
To pay for his upgrade.
No, oh, wait.
Will, that's not what happened.
happened because Austin paces back to us and he's he's his proud grin at his face but he's
also a little bit worried about how this is going to go and he says to us guys I did it
I got all of us a sweet isn't that amazing at which point he received a round of a pause we're like
oh my god awesome you did it finally a Marriott ambassador you pulled through this is your moment in
The spotlight.
Bitch did it.
Austin.
There was only one complication.
I had to pay $3,000.
No.
No.
No.
Will?
No.
We.
We, all of us,
had to pay $3,000 extra dollars.
Well, I were Austin to get a room upgrade.
I have news on that front
and I've waited to the podcast
to provide that news. Okay.
The evening that I checked in
right. My shower wasn't working.
Okay. No, no, no. You're advancing.
Hold on. Hold this thought for a second
because in that very
moment, we went from
excitement to
so you're making all of us
pay for your room upgrade.
No, it wasn't, it was a community
upgrade because Marsh got his
Marsh got his room upgraded
And so we had to
It was the only choice
It was the only choice we could make
It was the only one
I would have stayed in the normal room
Well you should have been more vocal about it
Yeah
But no but the beautiful part about this was that
Austin came over to us
And was like
Like you guys should be so thankful
That I spent everyone else's money
Including my own
To upgrade my room
For those of you who are listening
It would have been $10,000
but I got it down 70%.
And he was like, dramatic.
I got it down about 60%.
Right.
Okay.
But like, but he was like, yeah, it wouldn't have happened if I wasn't an ambassador.
And we were like, Austin.
Well, listen, you know, I can stomach it because ultimately the room was flawless.
Yes.
Yeah.
And we're using it.
Wait.
And we're using it for the podcast.
Wait.
The room was flawless?
Well, my room had some issues.
Oh.
I got here.
And I went to go take a shower and the shower didn't work.
Well, first, no, before you got into the room, we, we FaceTimed each other.
Yeah.
And we realized that everyone had quite similar sized suites, which created a moment of panic and crisis in Austin.
There was no panic in crisis.
I was happy.
I was relieved that you guys got a similar experience.
We were all walking around our suites.
FaceTime on showing the rest of the room and coming to the conclusion that Austin's room actually
wasn't all that different from any of our rooms.
Except for the fact that his shower didn't work.
So my shower doesn't work.
So I called down the text come up and they said the guy, then the manager calls me and he says,
Austin, it's going to be, it's going to be an hour.
And it was midnight.
And he said, what we can do is we can offer you another room to show.
shower in. And I said, well, you know, we have, my bag is 82 pounds. Right. And we would have to
lug all our stuff to the next room. And for those of you who are watching and they're like,
Austin, that's, that's such, whatever, you're defending the interests of capital. True.
Defending the interest of capital. You're sitting there and you're being like, oh, we don't
do that. They try to, they try to help you. But no, once something goes wrong, you as a consumer,
have an opportunity to get what you paid for. And we paid for a sweet. That's what Carl Marr said
that. Right. He did.
Famously. We paid for something and we are going to get that
value. So what happened is, he said, that's an hour. And I said,
look, sir. Carl Marks, customer
is always right. I did the
thing that any man would do. And I said, sir,
I'm not upset. I'm just
disappointed.
And he said, my dear
friends paid for this. No, hold on. Wait.
So he said, he said, well, you're right.
They would want me to shower. You're right, sir. I have
another suite for you. Oh.
it's even bigger and it's a corner room
would you like that as an upgrade
and I said that would be a good tradeoff
so he comes to my room
and he comes in and I've got my bags ready
and he said sir I've got some terrible news
that shower also doesn't work
so it's best that you stay here
and they fix it and I go
okay
you should have been like why don't they fix that one
So I say, okay, well, certainly there's something you could do for this inconvenience.
Yes.
And he said, well, when are you going to the airport?
And I was like, no, no, no, no, this is worth more than a free ride to the airport.
Yes.
Right?
So I said, he said, well, maybe we can give you a ride to the airport.
And I said, we already have a car and ride to the airport.
And he said, okay.
And I said, look, this is very.
disappointing to me because
I feel like, you know, we expected this
whatever. That's a Marriott ambassador. We go in and
out over and over again. He said, you're right, sir.
So
just water. So, he said, you're right,
sir. I will comp this evening.
Nice. Oh, so that
just the one evening? Yes. So one of the
nights in this suite. So how much did you
knock it down further? I, well,
it was just the upgrade fee that I
got comped for the first night.
So $1,000
away.
Well, Austin, I have to...
So still $2,000 extra dollars
that we all pay from the pocket.
Divided by five, that's...
I have to say,
you make my life
so much more vibrant and fun.
Oh, thank you.
And that cost is a pittance
compared to the joy you bring me
and the joy that this room brought you.
Oh, thank you.
It did.
Last night, I said there...
But know that you're not getting
shit for Christmas.
What?
You ain't
getting a fucking thing.
Oh yeah.
No, this is your Christmas
give.
What?
This is my Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
But we love you.
God, we love you.
This is way more
than what I would have bought you
for Christmas.
No, I really like my creature
comforts.
Last night I took a nice hot shower.
I got in a robe.
And I
yeah, they did.
They fixed a shower.
I got in a robe.
I pulled that chair up to the window
and I turned a little
lamp on, turned the rest of the
lights off.
And I
Got down, and I got a little cup of coffee, and I got my cheesecake.
He drank coffee at night?
It was just...
Decap.
Decaf, yeah.
And I just sat there and looked at the view in silence, and I turned on a little
Engelbert Humperding.
And I looked out the view, and I just enjoyed myself in my little slippers and my robe.
And I just...
And Christian was asleep, so I had some peace and quiet.
And he was just...
Except for Engelbert.
Yeah.
Except for Inglebert.
Binglebird Humperdink.
Yeah.
And I just sat there and I really appreciate it.
And I had such a wonderful time in this room.
I really did.
It's fantastic.
And thank you to all of you at home.
Truly.
Truly.
It wouldn't be possible without you.
God, this trip was so fucking funny.
And us who paid for the upgrade for the room.
I still kind of think that it's like, yes, I did receive the upgrade.
But is it like we all.
But I feel like we all, because Marsh got a sweet.
You got a sweet.
We all got a sweet.
So it was a community upgrade.
Which we paid for.
And then also the upgrade for your suite?
No, no.
Marsh's suite did not.
Well, yes.
But we all, all of our upgrades were paid for through the podcast.
Yeah.
Mine was just a little bit more.
Yeah, around.
Relatively speaking.
Three thousand extra dollars.
Yeah.
Well.
Who's counting?
Yeah.
Who's counting?
We don't even know what the extra bill is going to look like with all the, all the drinks that we've been consuming that were not a part of the initial tab.
Yeah, in a couple days
We're going to see another tab
From the agency that we're working with
Which is why it's so funny
When people are like, Hassan
You're getting paid by the government of China
It's like, bitch, I've been paying China
We are funding the government of China
I've been stimulating the Chinese economy
We are funding the entire government of China
Okay
Also, I got to say something
Right now, I can only think about one thing
Marsh, look at me in my eyes
hours
in Japan
I'm going to drive to a combini
preferably
I'm going to crack open an egg sando
I'm going to lay a fami chickie
across it's slutty
hot crispy
and I'm going to take a bite
and it's going to fucking fill my mouth
with a pleasure
that neither one of you have ever
experienced in your entire fucking lifetime
I've had that
and I'm going to come
no dude it's like
it's like when you dream of a former love
You can never, you, that's the, the most recent one is always the best.
I could easily just experience it by also flying in China.
You couldn't, you couldn't.
But I will not be.
I'm going to.
We need more beves.
I'm going to Shanghai.
Wait, yo, Mark.
Yo, hold on, hold on, hold on.
You could just like go to the club lounge down the road and they have, they have beers.
Beer.
You get like a hundred beers.
55 French fries, 55 hamburgers, 55 tater tots, 55 nuggets.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dump all the, dump all the, I brought that for you guys.
That is, you're going to go down with a bag.
I love this.
Okay, yeah.
Go, we are hitting the Rift Carlton right now.
Yeah, just go take as many as you can.
Dog, we upgraded for this fucking room.
By the way, I got to tell you something.
Marsh and I talked to the tailor today.
You'll think this is funny.
We asked, did you have to use a lot of extra fabric?
Oh.
or Hassan's suit.
What did he say?
Give us an exact figure.
How much?
You use 33% more fabric
than the average human being.
I asked if it would be easier
to cloth a horse.
She's silently not.
Yes, I'm a big boy.
What do you want?
It's fine.
They told me I wasn't the biggest person.
They've actually...
There is one other person.
I think they were an American.
It had to be Yao.
No, no.
They didn't, I don't think they did Yao Ming.
But there was one other person that they've actually done this for that was like wider than myself.
And that person was very rotund, like a sumo wrestler.
So I'm the second largest person that they've ever clothed.
I'm going to miss you.
I'm going to miss this one.
I have had the time of my life.
I've had the time of my life.
Right.
Like I have not laughed.
as hard as I have laughed
in the last few weeks
in my entire life
I have laughed
from the moment we hit that airport
at LAX
two weeks ago
or three weeks ago
two weeks
we have been laughing
I've been laughing
my ass off
and it has been an emotional journey
we have we have been
we're tired exhausted
eyes low
eyes and lows
but ultimately
I'm going to look back on this
and be like man
that was fucking awesome
Yeah.
I know what we can all agree on, too?
We miss cutie Cinderella.
We do miss cutie Cinderella.
We miss cutie Cinderella.
We do miss cutie Cinderella tremendously.
We miss the fourth Power Ranger.
Yes, we do.
And we wish, we wish one day my dream is that she will travel with us and experience these things with us.
One day, I dream.
Well, I think we have to get the Madden Bus for the next trip.
And we have to go to, like, Tijuana.
No, I think we drank daughter.
We just hit her with her.
We can't Trank Garger.
But you did it anyway?
Did they give you a look?
Ah, God, I love you, Marisi, Miranda.
Sneakily, sneakily, sneakily, sneakily, sneakily.
This is the beer that the guy drinks.
Paiso or whatever his name is.
Wait, you only got us three?
Did you not get us a, is there not a bottle opener?
No, there's one in your room.
Okay.
But, um, I will say this.
And I wonder if you guys agree with me.
I think you will.
We went to China.
The People's Republic of China.
We really shouldn't have gone, but we did.
Yeah.
Mainland.
Right?
Mainland, China.
That's right.
We went to Beijing.
Sad.
Shanghai.
Chongqing and Chengdu.
And traveling from Chengdu, this is probably the most shocked I have felt.
in this entire China trip
traveling from Chengdu
back to Hong Kong
made me feel like I went through a time traveling machine
because I think Chungdu
and mainland China in general the tier one cities that we went to
and the unofficial tier one cities that we went to
were so far advanced
that I feel like Hong Kong is
stuck in the past.
in a way that is almost in a way that's not this similar to Tokyo where it's like
Tokyo has a lot of elements of I mean Tokyo is beautiful it's a beautiful city and so is
Hong Kong and there's this sense of nostalgia and you're like wow you know this is like
this is a poppin city like this is a real vibrant city can you give me the bottle opener too
please yeah but I just I feel like mainland China and the places that we went to
we're just, it feels like it, is it a different caliber?
It's interesting that you feel that way.
Do you disagree with that?
Yes.
Why?
I don't feel that way.
You don't feel like Hong Kong is chaotic,
but also simultaneously like backwards in many ways.
It's just, I mean, for me, it's just such an apples and oranges.
I got a weird theory.
Yeah.
China, everything's new.
Let's give it 20, 30 years.
Crazy.
No, this is, I mean, I understand what you're saying.
It's a little copium because I'm going back home.
Yeah.
But maybe give it 20, 30 years.
No, Hong Kong just feels like such a different beast.
It just feels like such a different beast.
It's a different beast, but I don't like it as much as I like mainland China.
That's fair.
That's fair.
You've been in chaotic circumstances the entire time that you've been in Hong Kong.
Right.
You had a fucking anxiety attack.
Yeah, some under my control, some not.
Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, it's just.
The vibes are definitely different here, but I feel like the vibes were a little bit better in Chengdu.
I hate to say it.
I hate to say it.
I'm going to tell you right now.
Go ahead.
I preferred mainland China to Hong Kong.
It's hard because I'm a little.
I mean, can I be honest?
I'm a little, I'm a little, some locations.
Some locations I prefer to Hong Kong for sure.
Mm-hmm.
Beijing.
No, no, no, no.
Beijing doesn't count.
Beijing does not count.
You're right, you know.
Beijing does not count.
No.
By the way, I was talking to Irene, our amazing.
Loveliest, incredible tour guy.
Fabulous.
And she was talking shit about your itinerary.
What do you mean?
What?
She was like, he requested a bunch of things that I would never take anybody to.
Like what?
Like, there's a lot of fun stuff that I wanted to do that we just didn't get to.
Like what?
The Great Wall.
I wanted to do the Great Wall.
Why didn't we?
Do you think I was like, let's not do the Great Wall?
In fact, you did.
No, I didn't.
Because it conflicted with something else we had to do.
You want to guess?
That's what it was?
How the hell can you, how can they police an entire wall?
We absolutely could stream the Great Wall.
Speed did it too.
There's no fucking shot.
No, that's ridiculous.
We absolutely could have streamed the Great Wall.
Just like we fucking streamed the Calhoun Park today.
And it was incredible.
And Irene fucking said we couldn't stream it.
And I was like, fuck it.
We should still go and stream it.
Just like we streamed the fucking.
fucking pandas. I'm telling you, they are far more restrained with their suggestions. And
if it wasn't for March, because we spent three fucking whole months, mostly March and David,
setting up that itinerary and the initial itinerary that they sent us was far worse than
the one that we actually experienced. So when Irene says, oh, this stuff is so boring or
whatever, yeah, there was stuff in there that I wanted to do. There was stuff in there that I
thought was like entertaining and interesting that I know my audience actually appreciated quite
a fucking bit. But ultimately, the reason why we got this itinerary was mostly because they were
doing the boring old person tourism tour for us. That wasn't us. We actually made it more
vibrant and dynamic. True. You can't even have input. Neither of you can have input in this
because he's the only one who added stuff.
No, I said it was true.
Yeah.
I said it was true.
I also,
I knew the itinerary from top to bottom.
Most specifically, I knew where we were staying.
And let me tell you, I will say this.
This hotel, unlike anything.
That's one thing Hong Kong.
Hong Kong killed.
This was the best hotel we've stayed in.
I don't think so.
Oh, you want to disagree with me?
Yeah.
Chung do, I think, was better.
except for,
let me tell you,
Chung do is
shangu was fantastic
but there's
multiple variables
that go into this
Okay,
no badez was a
major L
nobody is
that's not the other
God,
we sound so ridiculous
but
yeah we might
have cut some of this
nah
no no
we're spoiled
I'm talking about
the view of this hotel
is
is
yeah but this is
insanity
Shanghai view
was pretty sick
I mean all the
I mean
You can walk around.
Gross Refuse was kind of ass because it's just Beijing.
Guys, I just want to let you know, I go walk up to the window and put my dick on the window and nobody's seeing it.
Not because it's small.
Like you'd give it a good tug beforehand is what you're saying.
Because if you were, if you were to put it, if you were to press your, I could jerk off.
If you were to press your flaccid cock on the cold window.
Yes.
ain't nobody going to see that because I'm so high up is what I was saying right I could walk around naked right I could put my butt cheeks against the window nobody is going to see it because I am so high up that's what they do have telescopes in the rooms I mean ultimately aside from all that I was so impressed
mainland was fantastic I had a fantastic time opened my eyes telling Marsh I think ultimately the locations the events hotels
the shopping for me it all pales in comparison
some of the people
I think that was the best part for me
tremendous was the people because
trust out the penny ultimately
my girl penny
so much fun with the people I met
and that's what I really felt
today when I went and picked up your suits
and got my measurement apparently
I didn't need to pick up your suits I wish I would have known that
but interacting with that Taylor and his family
felt like such a privilege
to just sit down and be invited into their home.
And it was awesome.
It was a humbling experience.
It was an enriching experience.
And I recommend if you come to China,
go interact with the people.
That's what really won.
Yes.
My favorite straight up,
hands down,
my favorite experience was basketball.
And my favorite experience was basketball
for that exact same reason.
Because out of all of the things that we did,
that was the one time where we were unrestrained, unrestricted,
straight up hanging out with the locals.
They barely spoke any English,
but it didn't matter because we were still communicating through
like playing competitive sports with one another.
And that was my favorite experience for that exact same reason
because we were just hanging out.
We were just chilling with those guys.
And I don't know how it translated on camera.
And we did end up losing both of those games
of basketball, but ultimately
that was my favorite experience
for that reason. That and the
the wonton
dumpling shop where I got to
engage in the
ancient Chinese tradition of
what is it called busking?
When I was busking people
yeah, when I was getting people to come into the
store. That video of me fucking
sweating it out in the kitchen is so goddamn
my stream.
Fantastic.
My stream that I planned.

Oh yeah, we'll be, we'll be here probably next year 100%.
Yep.
By the way, Marsh and I figured out that we both were given 10-year visas.
Okay.
We jacked. We have 10-year visas.
No, mine's a year.
No, your visa, it has the date, the end date on it.
Right. It's 10 years from now.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
You guys already have...

No, it's not a 10-year visa.

He hit us with the Gail Godot.
Yeah.
Calais, no.

No, it's so fucking, it's such bullshit.
It's like the same energy as him being like,
Caroline, I'll get out.
If you insist.
If you insist.
When Austin says, if you insist,
know that he has no ambition of changing his situation.
And that you must insist.
Yes.
