A podcast by three guys from Australia. Three regular Australians. That's right. We've changed. I've improved. I've improved quite a lot. I've improved myself.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And I've improved my co-host. Who am I replacing? Who am I replacing? um my will well no you're you're austin you're austin he's he's the eye candy and and you're you're will cutie cinderella couldn't make it she's actually still a part of the podcast but but will and austin are not i've cut them out. It's over. It's you guys now. What's up, everybody? We're back. We're back. We're doing Fear Ant Podcast, and we're doing it in Australia.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Unfortunately, Will couldn't come, and Austin was not interested in coming ever. And Cutie, of course, doesn't travel. So it's just me with my two Aussie boyfriends, and we're popping off out here in Sydney. I don't know if you guys watch the live streams. I am also going to melbourne after this as well so we're going to be doing some other podcasts with some other australian content creators as well and uh we'll bring you along for the journey you're already both of you guys are you got the piggies out the dogs out you got the dogs out you're just want to help you guys get some views you know why is it why are they so dirty underneath?
Starting point is 00:02:47 It's because I walk barefoot everywhere. It's also because I'm barefoot in the garage and then I walk through the house. So then the floor is filthy and covered in metal spikes. At best it's filthy, but usually there's like shavings of metal that you end up stepping on. Dude, that's the same exact nonsense with my brother. Murat also has a lot of metal shavings everywhere and he brings it into the fucking house and it's the worst thing ever because you step on it
Starting point is 00:03:11 and you're like, this is not supposed to be here. The worst, I bring them into my bed. Are you saying that as if someone's done this to you? You're like shocked? I mean, I am shocked because I'm shocked at myself but I don't change my behavior and then I'm like, this hurts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Yeah. That's weird. Why do you not, you know, clean yourself a little bit more? I don't know. I can't. Anyway. Okay. Well, listen, listen.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I think that I have a lot of, I have a lot of opinions on Australia and I want to get started with the number one thing that I've been saying already. Australia is baby America. It is very similar to America in many ways, I think. And you guys have gotten very mad at me for this. I just feel culture shock whenever I go to America. Maybe I'm just in denial. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:58 But maybe it's because it's mini America, so you don't feel. Yeah, it's just more America plus. America is America plus. Australia is America minus. It's like when you get angry at other people for exhibiting behaviors that you have. Yes. america so you don't yeah it's just more america plus america is america plus australia is america minor oh it's like like when you get angry at other people for exhibiting behaviors that you have yes that's i go there and i'm angry because i'm like yeah i see it i see it in myself you're like indigenous genocide who could have done this what is wrong with you who could have done that why are you a settler colony not me no thank you i would never do such a thing in australia what
Starting point is 00:04:23 are some of the things that you say that you're like so car cooked yeah i think i think australia is very car cooked yeah um it kind of has to be in some ways i guess because like there are areas that you just can't go to without having a car but i suspect that many people are not like traveling to random parts of the fucking outback where no one lives yeah What's that about? There's just whole spaces of land where just no one lives. We're working on colonizing that. That's a project. It's a settler colonial project. What happened there? No one fucks with that?
Starting point is 00:04:55 I don't know if you're talking from like an ecosystem kind of like it's not profitable to go to these We go there for mining. It just doesn't rain. I think maybe that's a big part of it for mining for mining dig up it just doesn't rain i think maybe that's a big part of it it's just the what doesn't rain it's like the east coast of australia and then every like people only live on the coast yeah i think that's just because of
Starting point is 00:05:17 water it's there's so much land though yeah people used to know how to live in the middle of australia killed all those guys they should have asked them like how do you do this before killing them you say that but pine gap that's true americans know how to live in there very useful spaces in the middle of australia that's oh my so it's probably in the middle of australia yeah like pretty much it's like dead center oh there's got to be some utility out of that. I think the idea is that like, because it never rains, they get like perfect satellite communications. And then also it's in the middle of the outback, so it's very hard to get to.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah. Unless you're YouTubers with a mission. Yeah. It wasn't that hard to get to. Did anybody like, since the police detained you, has anyone reached out again? No. So that was it?
Starting point is 00:06:09 We did have a weird thing happening for a while. Since we came back, we had police visiting a lot because we've got security cameras in this house that point at the street. They always come by and be like, there was a murder. We have to, like, plug this USB into your security cameras and find out
Starting point is 00:06:25 and it happened probably six or seven times in two to three weeks do you think a lot of murders are happening in your neighborhood or the cops are just like
Starting point is 00:06:36 working I haven't heard of a single murder in this neighborhood no I mean it's not like I know they were like
Starting point is 00:06:41 it's gang related so we're like oh maybe we won't know about it. After a while we said like, no thanks. Let the gangs do what they want to do. Leave me out of this. I'm not snitching.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I don't want to take a position on the gangs. Wait, that's nuts. So you think like maybe the intelligence community is like, let's see what these guys are about. I think we're just actually paranoid. We want to feel like we've done something really cool so we're like they're actually after i definitely like to think that yeah yeah it makes me feel important yeah i think it's more we live in a dodgy area i did i did consider not putting your name down when i was getting my australian visa because like i thought maybe because of the pine gap video there would be
Starting point is 00:07:22 like no like you're already dinged up on our list. Like, you can't get TSA pre-check for some weird reason. I don't know what it is. I'm not speculating. Maybe it's just government incompetence, and they're just, like, bad at giving me TSA pre-check. Only me. Everyone else seems to have an easy time with it.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I don't know. And then he's like, well, what are they doing? Are they linking up? This guy, Pine Gap, CIA, here you have a file. What the fuck is this about? And I thought that I might not get a visa to Australia, which is the most cuck thing. It is America.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It is. It's not even America. It's a base. It's an American base. I own this country and I'm not allowed into it. It's insulting. Yeah. We had the same issue coming to your place we wrote hasan down as a contact and then the customs people like you're meeting this hasan and where'd you meet him before like on the
Starting point is 00:08:14 internet like you met hasan on the internet on the islam forums yeah and they're like now you're staying at his house do you know his address i'm like not really like how long have you known this man i was like i've spoken to him like once or twice online like you're living with him yeah which is normal that's how it works which i had that exact same exchange with the customs and border patrol a guy in australia but mine wasn't like uh mine was a random search and like but what i mean by that is there was a customs and border patrol guy by the way, they suspiciously wear outfits that don't look like they're professional. Probably because they're not carrying AR-15s.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Maybe you got a special one, because we've been pulled over a lot by the random people, but they obviously look like they're in a uniform. He was in a uniform, but it didn't give off like a chill off like cop vibes yeah they kind of they kind of look yeah they look pretty chill he looked like he could be wearing like a delivery driver yeah yeah yeah so i was like i was looking at him i grabbed my bag 15 hour flight by the way we'll talk about that in a second grab my bag and this like bogan looking dude is like looking at me and i i look i'm looking back at him and i'm like how do i get out of here because like i couldn't figure out
Starting point is 00:09:32 where the exit was he's like well you're not getting out of here let me tell you i'll show you how to get out of here man fucking hell um no he was just like all right come over here and i was like oh a helpful guy nope he just starts being real inquisitive with me and then i realized like is this motherfucking customs and border patrol what's happening and then he just like he starts asking me questions like what do you do and he's like can i see your car because we do the smart you guys have the smart thing yeah where you like have to put your passport in and it's like oh god i don't know
Starting point is 00:10:06 if this is just me but i get so fucking annoyed because like on the plane they give you a card yeah and you have to write all the stuff and they're like did you bring in any meat did you bring in any dairy like uh did you bring tobacco products we're all lactose intolerant here yeah yeah the government has to keep an eye on that i get it like because island delicate ecosystem you don't want to fuck it up like you can't even bring shoes with like soil on them right so in my mind i'm thinking like you know okay i fill this out and then it's fine and then i get out of the plane and i have to do it again on the fucking smart machine also have you seen what they do with your card literally you give it to a person you walked in they just throw it in a bit yeah why did i fill that out
Starting point is 00:10:47 if you're gonna ask me the questions anyway like so i'd fucking fill it out i do the smart machine after the smart machine this fucking bogan is asking me the same exact fucking questions i'm like bro this is the eighth time i'm answering these no i don't have any soil on my fucking shoes man like no they're like oh have, have you been to Indonesia or South America? And I'm like, that's weird. Why are you asking me specifically those two places? I don't know. Do they got beef with Indonesia?
Starting point is 00:11:14 What's happening? I don't know because it's like the same fucking ecosystem. I don't like Indonesia. Maybe they're just racist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, we just don't like Indonesia. I think they should be honest, though. When they approach you, they should just be like like are you muslim there should be that question
Starting point is 00:11:29 that also did happen with the customs and border patrol guy literally he's like he's like oh so he looks through my paperwork and he's like all right well you got to come with me and in the time frame like i always try to avoid telling people that I'm, like, a political commentator, especially not a Customs and Border Patrol agent. And I don't want to tell them, like, what I do exactly either because I don't want them to be like, wait a minute, you're not here for a fucking tourism operation. It seems like you're doing Comos, mate. Fucking. Yeah. Now I'm British.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I don't know why I'm British now. Fuck. Anyway, like, so I don't want them to, ding me on that right so i'm just like i'm a twitch streamer this guy's like 50 fucking years old he didn't know what twitch is so i thought that would end the conversation dead in its fucking tracks no inquisitive motherfucker it's like oh twitch streamer my son watches twitch what kind of games what do you do on twitch and i'm like i'm not telling him i do politics so i'm like i play video games and i'm thinking this will stop the conversation and we'll move on to the next question no my son loves video games what do you play do you play fifa
Starting point is 00:12:35 do you play 2k and i was like no and i in my mind i was thinking like what's the fucking lamest like nerdiest thing i can pull out of my ass? I was like, Final Fantasy VII. I play role-playing games. So then he's like, that did stop him. He did not inquire further about that at all. He was like, oh, fuck this guy. You know, okay, fuck this dude. But then he starts talking to me about the TikTok ban.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Because he's like, well, you're an influencer. You learn. And you're American. Do you think ticked in you're american do you think tiktok's gonna get banned and you know i just immediately i flipped the switch and immediately i was you know being a fucking political commentator and i started explaining to him how unfair it is because like america just simply wants to like take this very profitable corporation and sell it to an American by force. Not really a TikTok man. Blah, blah, blah. And I think that worked as well
Starting point is 00:13:30 because I bored him. So then that was good. Maybe just stick to political commentating. I'm a political commentator. I will fucking bore you. I promise. So what ended up happening is we go to the x-ray machine. He through it there's nothing going
Starting point is 00:13:46 on he you know he's like but in the process there was the funny moment he looks at my name he's like so hasan he's like where are you from and i'm like los angeles california and he goes but your name is hasan where are you really from and i like i was shocked because like they don't do that in america like which is surprising because like america's pretty fucking racist but i've never had someone be like but where are you really from that's not even a border control thing like people on the street even to me white guy will just be like where are you from yeah you know i've noticed your eyebrows are a bit darker than mine come on where tell me where you're from sir what are we working with well the
Starting point is 00:14:30 where are you from happened twice it happened in the fucking uber ride or not uber it was like a like a driver that uh my manager had hired and the guy immediately said the exact same thing. He's like, well, your name is Hassan. You're not from America. Like, where are you actually from? And that was a whole different can of worms. But I don't even want to get into that right now. Yeah, so far, so good. What the fuck's going on in Australia?
Starting point is 00:15:03 There's just spiders everywhere. They're so venomous. You've survived, though. It's terrifying. We had a spider, like, thrown on you. I did. It's going to come out in the video. Nothing happened. It was great, though, that we took you snorkeling,
Starting point is 00:15:17 and fish were way more of a problem for you than spiders. Yes. Way more. It was the most terrifying experience. I can't wait to see the gopro of me shitting my pants as these like big ass like puppy sized fish are just like swimming at me i've never seen someone scream like that in the water no ever it was actually really embarrassing i can't go back to that but it was i think it was very manly scream to be fair i think it was more like oh like like it was like
Starting point is 00:15:48 you were fucking yeah i was fighting the blue groper yeah it's a that's a weird name maybe that's why they're called gropers did you understand yeah because i want a bit my nipple yeah that was weird i've never ever heard of that happening before. Yeah, neither. I thought they were going to be more scared of me. I think I much prefer fish being afraid of me than not being afraid of me. Just wanting to kiss you. It fucks you up when they just swim at you. You're like, this is not supposed to happen. They've got no arms.
Starting point is 00:16:18 It's like a paraplegic running at you. That's scary. That is scary. That's like some Exodus shit. Yeah, it's scary that's like some that's like some exodus shit yeah like someone in their arms are like flailing around and they're just running at you head first you'd be like what the fuck that's scarier than that's what you feel when you see a fish running at you you know you know what i because i understand your feet now like if i felt that with you i feel like everything in my mind is telling me that this is an alien organism and I shouldn't be here right now.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I shouldn't be in the water. And also, like, what does he know that I don't know? Because think about it. He spent a lot of time in there. A lot of time to think. He's been down there. He knows a lot. He knows all the secrets of the ocean that I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:03 But that's not even it. I'm just saying, like, because most of the time, fish are like, oh, that's a big thing. Not, you know, that's an alien foreign object here. I'm going to run away. That other fish doesn't give a fuck. So he knows something. He's confident.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Why is he confident? It might just be horny. Yeah, true. It's the horny fish. You had a big blue shirt on. Yeah. I'm going to fuck that guy. And you love to grope.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Dude. You're a big blue shirt on. Yeah. I'm going to fuck that guy. And you love to grope. Dude. You're a blue groper. I'm just saying, like, I don't know what he knows. He obviously, he has some set of skills that allow him to be that confident. And I don't want to find out. There's a boring but cute answer to that. What is it? Like, we were swimming in a protected zone.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So, like, everywhere outside of that, you can fish for them. And in there, you can't. So, like, they know this somehow. And, like, when you're in the protected zone, they'll outside of that you can fish for them and in there you can't so like they know this somehow and like yeah when you're in the protected zone they'll come up to you and once you're out there they're like they don't want anything to do with you that also doesn't make a lot of sense because in my mind in my head cannon fish are way stupider than that yeah i thought so as well but this is weird you learn that they're actually pretty creepy and then it makes you feel like you don't want to kill them but i keep killing them anyway because finding nemo is a documentary, as we established.
Starting point is 00:18:06 This is the Australia... This is the peak of my Australian content, is, like, finding out that, you know, fish are actually smart. Well, some of them are dumb. There's the one with the amnesia. Yeah, the turtle, though. That doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Turtle? In Finding Nemo? In Finding Nemo. Was it the turtle that had amnesia? I thought it was, like, the other little girl fish that was, like... Dory. Dory. Doesn't Dory forget you? That is not the turtle, yeah amnesia? I thought it was the other little girl fish. Dory. Doesn't Dory forget you? That is not the turtle.
Starting point is 00:18:29 The turtle is just a stoner. Just a high guy. We did find out that turtles are horny. So horny today. One of them fucked a rock so hard that it broke their shell. Which is impossible to break.
Starting point is 00:18:46 We've had some good fun so far. I think. We've done a lot in a very short period of time. I know. I would like to sleep. Let's go around. Let's try this thing that we were
Starting point is 00:19:01 doing before we started the stream. Do your American accent. Oh, God, it's so hard. Where am I looking? What's my guy? I can try my best. It's really hard to speak in an American accent.
Starting point is 00:19:18 My name's Alexa. I'm here on a podcast with Hassan. Why do you, why do you put that on? You, you, it's the only one I can do. Everything else is impossible.
Starting point is 00:19:29 He sings Johnny Cash. So that's, he's just, he's singing. That's the only, yeah, that's the only American accent I know. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:19:35 That's why you do that. Well, that makes so much sense, bro. That makes so much sense, bro. Bro. Hey,
Starting point is 00:19:44 fuck. I, I only, apparently he was saying that i only have a couple phrases that i like nail perfectly but then it's like certain words are like indistinguishable and then the direct next one will be absolutely nothing like the australian accent it's like a hard one to hard one to like judge what if it's like what if it's more like i'm australian but i lived in america yeah yeah so now that happens here a lot because like people think america's cool so we i remember i had this kid in high school he went to like america for a week with his family came back he had an american accent for the rest of high school it was like it's super lame he was like putting it on but
Starting point is 00:20:18 it's just like it's like oh it's my thing now i'm an american guy but we get that as well they're international schools where it's like oh yeah but they don't live in America. They interact with a lot of them. And then they just have American accents for some reason. For some reason, our autistic people as well have American accents. What? I'm not joking. Autistic Australians have American accents?
Starting point is 00:20:40 Yes. Where do you think autism comes from? Every single autistic kid at our school had an American accent. I mean, I know a lot of autistic people with an Australian accent. How come you don't have an American accent? Yeah, it's kind of odd that you're saying this right now. Sounded real Australian, big dog.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Don't I have a perfect American accent? No, is it like a nerdy American accent? It's like, uh, actually... It's like an anime. It's like an anime American accent. Oh. Like a dramatic, I don't know, dramatic accent. Yeah, do it.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Do your autistic American accent. Go ahead. Fuck it. I can't. I'm sorry, I only do one American accent. It's the only one I know. Okay, okay, you're doing... This is turning into Comptown real fast.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yeah. This literally has become Comptown immediately. Yeah. No, this is Johnny Cash, but he's autistic. Yeah. He's the train of coming and that's all he cares about.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Yeah. You got to know when to hold them and know when to fold him is that johnny cash that's uh wyland jennings i think i think johnny cash sang that too though oh yeah everyone's it's pretty incestuous in country music yeah he's done covers like his hurt cover is i think like the best version of the song in general yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't listen to any music except for that one song that's very sad i don't know it's fucked up oh you guys are coming to america soon yeah in june yeah yeah we're excited how long are you planning on staying there um until you kick us out i think there's a plan like last time yeah okay so you're not what is right what are we what are we going to do when we're out there?
Starting point is 00:22:25 I really want to go to a prison rodeo. Yeah. I heard you guys have like real life gladiators in America. And like I saw the movie with Russell Crowe and I thought that was just like ancient Rome. But it's apparently it's. I mean, football is kind of like that, too. Honestly. Yeah, but they're not.
Starting point is 00:22:42 They're not like slaves. True. What do you mean? It's like some of them have been to prison no no i meant like oh gladio oh they just kill each other yeah yeah they all get ct straight up pummeling on one another and then their lifespan is like greatly shortened and then the nfl hides the fact that like it was actually killing them a lot. Until one of them literally killed... We have very similar sports here. It's not just that it kills them, but it makes them
Starting point is 00:23:14 really angry. If you look up, I think AFL and rugby here, they have the highest domestic abuse rates out of any sports, but that makes sense. First because of the culture and they hit their heads yeah
Starting point is 00:23:26 yeah it's just like there's if you're really good at doing that one thing you think that's how you solve the problem yeah I'm not even
Starting point is 00:23:34 yeah I'm not even it's like cops you know cops are just like so good at beating the shit out of people that they just think like oh my soup is cold
Starting point is 00:23:43 which so it's time to do the thing that I did to the 14 year old black kid that they just think like, oh, my soup is cold. So it's time to do the thing that I did to the 14-year-old black kid earlier. It should be a rule then that like rugby players, AFL players, they are only allowed to date people as big as them. So when they have a problem, it's like, well, this is like,
Starting point is 00:23:59 we're playing that game again. We're having a scrum right now. I thought they should be celibate like monks. Dude, I love that. Dude, cum retention. That would make them more powerful. Oh, that's too scary. They would be too good.
Starting point is 00:24:12 They'd run through the gates of the stadium. They'll do like airbending or something. I don't even know where that would take them. They start levitating randomly. They do too much semen retention. I want to hear what you guys think about this, but I think that there should be, like, legalized steroids in sports. I feel like it would genuinely improve it.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I mean, ice field's a separate category. He still had, like, all natural sports. Why? I think everything you should, if you're an athlete, and we have a better way to be an athlete, then you're not an athlete if you're not taking steroids. Like, that's just the best way to be the best at it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:47 So you're on board with it as well? I'm completely on board with it. I'd like to watch it, but I'd also like to watch a different version. No, if I can watch a faster man, I'm going to watch the faster guy. No, but let's say you have a cyborg Olympics. Would you want them competing with the steroid guys?
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yes. So they crush them. Yeah. Yeah, body modification all the way like some guys are cyborgs some guys have like really pushed it to the max with steroids there would be no natural just like no steroid guy no at all but i mean who cares i don't give a shit i want everybody to look like fucking baki characters already fucking getting cte and like dying earlier this isn't a big jump.
Starting point is 00:25:26 It's not like... It would be healthy. You probably have to work out less to achieve the same results. You think working out is the least healthy part of sports? I mean a work-life balance. You get more of a work-life balance. I don't think that's why they get fucked up, dude. I think it is. I think it is.
Starting point is 00:25:44 They're just stressed out. Nobody's going's going oh thank god i have to work out less like this is the worst part of my job maybe that's true i just had it all wrong it's so silly oh my god yeah let's see what do i have here i realize that like this podcast is basically always about me yelling at austin about all of the things that he did to me over the week and and then like you know will come again with like one pet peeve that he has and then cutie just kind of also doing that a little bit so like normally normal podcast the way they work like we have topics to talk about well we don't really fucking have any topic we're doing the same thing except for the fact that yeah except for the fact that when i first came down
Starting point is 00:26:38 here i of course didn't plan well ahead of time i just basically hit you guys up and i was like i'm coming and which was great because you guys were like okay cool uh also you don't have a space you're like where are you staying that sounds sick it's like oh yeah well because i had the realization i was like fuck like i haven't told hasan that we don't because the last time i spoke to you we had a spare room. And I was like, my brother's living here now. So I was like, we'll do it, we'll tell him. And then Alexa was like, no, no, it's cool.
Starting point is 00:27:12 We'll just bunk up and Hassan can stay here. He was very excited about it. I don't want to sleep in the same bed with Alex. Like, it's not appealing to me. But as long as you got to do things. Yeah. Sacrificing. Sacrificing.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah. It seems like a big sacrifice but yeah no i i just totally i was like no i'm staying i was gonna get a hotel but then uh i felt bad that you were like gonna bunk up ah we we're back up all the time sometimes it's like spooky here some scary nights this is pretty scary what do you think of my room is it nice dude this house is so sick it's actually it's covered in trash right now because i ruined it like i i came i came in and immediately the first thing i did after getting on the fucking getting off the 15 hour flight was i basically put all of the things that i had in my bags i opened them up in the
Starting point is 00:28:07 middle of the fucking space and there's just stuff everywhere like i sprawled out here it's disgusting and i'm really sorry for it i don't you shouldn't feel bad because we did tidy before you came it was you should see what's bad what i do when i come home but my bag is filled with sand it's full of fish it's the same thing that you do yeah well like dead fish it's so much worse it was it was so sick when i first walked in it's like it's very tastefully decorated like even down to your grandmother's uh boyfriend dead boyfriend's furniture yeah it's sick like it fits very well your room is awesome there's so much commie shit everywhere by the way like an unimaginable amount like it's way worse than my house i feel like i have way less commie shit than you yeah and ours is very aggressive north korean propaganda as well yeah you have like agit prop everywhere your room is insane i try my best. You read too much.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Like, you read like a trot. Oh, those aren't for reading. They're just there. So you would comment on it on the podcast. For the babes. For the babes to come over and be like, wow. You have a projector in your room. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Do you use it? Yeah, all the time. I feel like that's not a very good way to, like, watch stuff. What do you mean? Is it too bright? Yeah. Isn't it? It's great. It's great. You don't have to,. What do you mean? Is it too bright? Yeah. Isn't it? No, it's great.
Starting point is 00:29:27 It's great. You don't have to do anything. You just kind of lie down. Yes, you do. You have to press a button, and then you have to wait for it to go zzzz. And you have to focus it. You don't have to focus the TV. You definitely have to move your fucking art piece that you have.
Starting point is 00:29:40 No, no. It cuts out just underneath that. Oh, really? Just on top of that, yeah. Everything's worked out perfectly. I want to bring it out here to show it Okay, I'm very, very happy about that The art piece that you have I made it last week in preparation for Hasan coming
Starting point is 00:29:56 Wait, really? Did you make it last week? No, no, no, I was making it Are you bringing it? I did make it last week, but do you want me to bring it? You're getting up I'm very excited i was gonna get up and get it he literally is okay it was great when he was making this though because this was his like first time using the tools in the garage oh so everything was he was just like
Starting point is 00:30:15 how do i use a circular saw and then he would just keep using tools that are incredibly loud without headphones without earmuffs oh that's. And have you noticed he's completely deaf? Oh, that's why he's deaf? He's completely deaf. He's not completely deaf, but he just can't. Some would say it's a waste of a harp. Yeah. Wait, so.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Yeah. So I don't understand. You have to explain this art piece to everybody um so i first explain what it is to those at home who are listening it's just something to like put put flowers on um put plants on but it's like it's an old harp it's such a soft boy yeah it is it is it's um you're ran through you're ran through this is some ran through ass shit march loves it like immediately that's a red flag right there this is some ran through ass shit it's a fucking harp that he like gutted uh so it was it was already fucked i got it for like 40 bucks
Starting point is 00:31:18 because the whole soundboard was like lifted off everything was destroyed so i was just like i could i was gonna just turn it back into a heart but i thought like i'll do something much harder and like less fun which is like make this fucking thing and like cut it all out and put it yeah you put like a he put like a like a wooden board in the middle of it and then he just placed a fake plant no it's a real plant that's a real plant in australia we've got some nice plants. Not everything is artificial grass in Australia. It looks so fake. I just didn't even think twice. I was like, that's a fake plant.
Starting point is 00:31:51 No. Do you have to take care of it? Yeah, yeah. This is a fresh start. This man's learning that plants are real. Like, what do you have to do to take care of it? You're so not ran through. You never spoke to a girl before.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Wait, you have to water plants? Wait a minute. I don't have any plants, dude. Can we compare it though to the music instrument that I have that's art and then we can see which one's better?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Yours is better. Sawed off guitar. So you... Oh, shit. And look, you can place it anywhere. You can place it anywhere. So why did you do that well i didn't see why is he flexing on you right now well because i just remembered i've got an art piece as well
Starting point is 00:32:32 that's fine let him have his moment he's not good at a lot of stuff but he needs he needs yeah when it comes to fish bags oh man he's fucking yeah i'm great yeah when he comes to fish bags he's like he's all right but this is the only thing I've made out of the four years of making dumb shit that I was like, this is actually kind of nice looking.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It does look very cool. Yeah. It's like actually an art piece. Yeah. When I saw the harp, I was like, that's actually an art piece.
Starting point is 00:32:57 As well. No, it's not done. I got a lack of this stuff. It'll be the same color as the rest of the harp. And then we're done. I don't want bigger plants. What do you have to do to take care of these fucking plants?
Starting point is 00:33:07 Just water them. Is that a question? There's some sunlight in there, but I got ones that are good in the dark. See, that's a good question because some plants you can keep in the dark and other plants you have to not water that much. Some plants you water too much. But I'll say, when you buy a plant, there's a little tag. It says,
Starting point is 00:33:27 water me this, put me in the sun for this long. Yeah, you have a lot of shrubbery in here. He loves nature. He's one of those nature pedophiles. Yeah, it's weird, dude. How much you love nature is odd. No, it's not. It's the coolest thing there is.
Starting point is 00:33:44 The nature is the coolest thing there is? And you get to shoot it. We got like fucking Hadron colliders. You think nature is the coolest thing? Fuck that. I'm so not on the nature thing. You're not a hard-on collider guy. That's your brother.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Hard-on collider. You got a hard-on for a hard-on collider? He's a hard-on collider. Yeah, but I still appreciate it appreciate it yes so do i i'm not saying i don't like that i i i just love i love conquering nature i i legitimately like when i go up into the fucking mounds like my brother would be like oh let's go off-roading i'm like so fucking lame whatever it makes no sense there's no goal the goal is to get stuck so you can get unstuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:26 That makes no sense. I also hate that. You drove like 100 miles into like dirt. Yeah. So you can undirt yourself. That makes no fucking sense to me. But the thing that I always look at is like when we're on the mountaintops, I'm like, fuck, man.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Look at these big ass beams bringing power into the fucking city. And I'm like, fuck, man. Look at these big-ass beams bringing power into the fucking city. And I'm like, yeah, fuck you, nature. See, I like that as well. I like both. You have to choose. No? No, you have to choose one right now. You're a centrist.
Starting point is 00:34:55 No. Okay, brutalist. Brutalist, like gray blocks for public housing or fucking nature. I want brutalist but like a plant is growing all over it. Okay, that does sound like Last of Us.
Starting point is 00:35:09 That's what I want. That sounds kind of cool. Actually, fuck. Okay, you win that one. I'll take it. I'll take that. I like that you guys did your art,
Starting point is 00:35:17 like your show. No, he just put his in front of mine. He just couldn't handle. It's show and tell though. Also, I heard you talking shit over that I never use tools.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I made a whole ass guitar. He could hear you? Yeah. Turns out he's not that deaf. Yeah, so take it back, Alexa. Thank you. Wait, you made a whole ass guitar? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:32 It's not here though. I definitely made it. Where is it? It's at a friend's house. It's a... That sounds so fake. Yeah. Well, it's because You started telling the story
Starting point is 00:35:45 And you're like This doesn't Sound believable I'm like it's not here It's at a Fred's house That's it Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:35:52 It's like Just like your girlfriend Yeah She goes to another school Sure Definitely Yeah She likes me
Starting point is 00:35:59 She thinks I'm really cool She loves my art piece You did say that Literally No she She inspired it Because because i'm not gonna make a harp she's like well why don't you make a plant thing and i'm like because i wanted to have a big plan in the middle of my room it's like why not do both well win win win win for everybody yeah but you have like what are the other things you have on the wall you have like a no human sign oh yeah you can read mandarin oh no sorry the picture says no humans
Starting point is 00:36:26 i can't read mandarin it was a big metal sign we were um we're in beijing and we were um doing like urban exploring so we're trying to like break into like these abandoned factories it's like the largest steel works in china um and they closed them because of the beijing olympic games because they're producing too much pollution and there it's like the size of i don't know three times this suburb what's what is an american how many football fields or like oh just for the factory just for the factory the biggest building i've ever seen in my life and it was overrun with stray dogs it was pretty terrifying it was overrun with stray dogs.
Starting point is 00:37:06 It was pretty terrifying. It was fucked. There were times when we like entered a room, pitch black, stepped on broken glass. And then we just heard like, fuck. And we would just start sprinting away.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And had 10 kids. Well, sometimes you got like rabies issues. Yeah. Yeah, it was bad. Well, I got a rabies injection because I got fucking scratched by a dog. Oh, you did? Yeah, yeah. Not on that trip, but later.
Starting point is 00:37:24 We cheated the system as well because it was before we had any money at all and um we were traveling to china and like you're meant to get really you don't really we don't have money now either but like no that's not what i was saying you mean his spending habits i don't spend money either but uh you are so fucking frugal now we'll get to that in a second then it was worse and like we um i think it's like 120 bucks to get like a rabies injection. And we're going to go to China and go to all these dodgy places. And we're just like,
Starting point is 00:37:48 we don't need to get the injections. There's a scheme you can do. If you get exposed and you come back and you say, we call like the government hotline, you're like, fuck, fuck, I have rabies. Because it like doesn't exist in Australia. They take it so seriously and they rush you out and they give you the injection free.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It's like literally, because it happened to me, I came back and was like i told them within two hours they had this really incredibly expensive medication sent to me sent to my it wasn't incredibly expensive we just didn't want to spend like a hundred no but the vials are once they did once they actually have to give you the the injections and then the funny thing is my doctor fucked it up he didn't shake up the bottle and he just gave me the saline on top of the actual thing then i like it hurt more than usual i was walking home and he gives me a call he's like alex you're gonna have to come back i um i only gave you salt water in the needle and i'd been scratched by a
Starting point is 00:38:34 dog so i was like that risk so oh my god yeah i heard about i heard you didn't cheat the system you definitely just needed a ring i know I should have just done that before though. Yeah. But I cheated the system because I didn't get scratched by a dog, but I'm like, this shit's free. Like, fuck yeah. I called them.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I'm like, I got scratched. You got one too? That's what I told you. I was just like, oh, I got scratched by a dog. But like, I didn't have any like marks anywhere. So I was like, how do I, how do I make this believable? I'm like, oh, maybe I was petting it. It like bit my finger.
Starting point is 00:39:01 And I'm like, yeah, I got, I got bitten my finger. They're like, oh, that's bad. I'm like, what do you mean? And it's just like, oh, because, you know, like we have to flood the zone with like the rabies vaccine. And because the finger is so small, they can't fit enough into it. So they were just like,
Starting point is 00:39:15 we're just going to have to pump as much of this stuff into your finger as we can. And you're like, yes. It was so painful that my finger was like twice the size, just swelling with liquid. You fucking deserve it. You're like that guy in America that got vaccinated 120 times for some reason. That's you. Well, I'm immune to rabies now.
Starting point is 00:39:32 For free. And I didn't have to get bitten by a dog. That's insane. You guys have done a whole lot of crazy shit. You literally went to China to the dog eating thing as well, which you guys never really, you never really released it. That's my bad. I'm just like too lazy.
Starting point is 00:39:51 It's still potentially going to be released. I'd like to put it out. It's just like, it's such a big project and there's so many like quicker things that like we can get out. Yeah, you do work a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:07 There's so much going on. You know how long it took to make this thing it takes you can't tell that story after showing that yeah that's crazy i know you're you're held up with all of the fuel efficiency that you engage oh yeah yeah yeah i'm i'm producing fuel for australia by driving my car so yeah wait before we talk about your your frugal habits um yeah let's let's talk about the the other yeah when you went to china to the to the dog eating festival is that what yeah i mean because i when you guys first told me so before we continue here all three of us are big cinnaboos in in which like it's the opposite of i guess a cinephobe or cinephiles i would like we like china we think china is chill like it's cool it's developing
Starting point is 00:40:52 it's great it's developed it's awesome um so when you guys told me about that i always thought that it was fake yeah like the dog eating thing i always i was like oh here we go again this is like another fucking fake bullshit like yeah no they just straight up do I always thought it was like, oh, here we go again. This is like another fucking fake bullshit. Yeah. No, they just straight up do it. It is, but it's like, I don't know how real it is now. Like the Chinese government has over time been like putting pressure on it. You think they were like, yo, this shit's like looking, this is a bad look.
Starting point is 00:41:17 It looks bad. It literally was. Xi Jinping was like, yo, white women love dogs, bro. We got to cut this shit out right now. It was interesting though because it it was never completely legal. It's always in a gray zone. So you're not allowed to eat meat that doesn't have certain certifications, and you can't breed dogs for eating.
Starting point is 00:41:35 So they're exclusively street dogs, and it's kind of like authorities in the regions that like dogs, like down south, they kind of just look away because the festival brings a lot of money in like a lot of tourists um so like people do straight up travel to be like oh i can't wait to eat the dog yeah and it was interesting interviewing the people there because there were some people that like dog is the best fucking meat you've ever had and they were also like yeah we had so much it was like kilograms of dog that day Was it good? It was kind of like lamb
Starting point is 00:42:06 It was a bit like lamb But you know how Like lamb is thick meat This was like you know when you get like Chinese chicken where they like They get it It's hanging up And they chop it up
Starting point is 00:42:16 So it's cut Not in fillets So you've got a lot of bones Every piece we had Like a little bone It was very bony So you had to kind of pull it off Speaking of bones
Starting point is 00:42:24 I fucking almost chipped my tooth on a dog's dick when I was there they gave me you presented that like you suck the dog's dick bro
Starting point is 00:42:31 kind of it wasn't alive I don't know if that makes it better but like we have this on video as well yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:42:37 so one of the dudes there gives it to me and like we don't speak any not even Mandarin why do you present it like that okay cool We don't speak any, not even Mandarin. Why do you present it like that?
Starting point is 00:42:49 Okay, go on. Sorry. So you suck the dead dog's penis? I suck the dead dog's dick. This is going to get demonetized. So I don't speak, it was Cantonese down there. And the guy was kind of explaining to me like, if you eat it, you'll have really strong ere erections that was a big thing for everyone they kept saying food though it wasn't just dogs like everything you fucking eat gives you an erection they're
Starting point is 00:43:12 just like all this salad yeah were you just like super hard the whole time no he was super soft that's all i like this guy's around us are really hard yeah yeah maybe you get the whole life like yeah i don't i don't get that but yeah, there's a lot of exotic meats that you consume to get your dick hard. I don't know what's up with that. Why is everybody always so stressed about this shit? Yeah, but what if you're a woman as well? You're just like, this meat's not for me. It makes your pussy harder.
Starting point is 00:43:36 It makes your pussy harder, yeah. It makes your clit super hard. It's fucking crazy. This guy gave me the dick of the dog. And I was like, oh, sick. I can't wait to try this. And I thought it was like my dick. I just kind of assumed it was just like a meaty kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:43:50 And I went to just bite into it. But they have this thing called like a baculum. So dogs have like a bone in their boner. So it's like the bone comes out when they want to have sex, like surrounded by meat. Yeah, it's not like a soft thing. And it fucking hurts to bite. And they knew he was going gonna do that as well.
Starting point is 00:44:07 So I think they just started laughing at you immediately. I think they laughed at me because I ate it like an idiot. Yeah, but also I don't think you meant to eat it. I think that's them being like, dumb white guys. No, no, they definitely did. That's also like the funniest way to like dunk on someone is like, this idiot doesn't know how to eat dog dicks.
Starting point is 00:44:22 You've never done that before. What a loser, dude. How embarrassing. I ate dog dicks for breakfast like what the fuck um yeah i i don't understand that i don't understand it it like i guess it's just i mean it kind of does make sense because it's like it's an animal so that's what they would justify and they were saying like when we we had a translator there we're talking to a lot of people and they were like, look, people in India don't eat cows. That's their sacred animal, but Americans eat so much cows. But they're eating more meat rather than less meat.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. But they also say- I don't think Indians are like looking at Americans being like, I can't believe they're eating cows. I think some of them might be like that. People think it's gross. Yeah. Maybe you're right. a lot big part of it was that but then it in a way wasn't
Starting point is 00:45:10 that as well because a lot i think the majority of chinese people um don't like that don't eat dog and then they were just not even for westerners hiding it from chinese people like they were just on edge they didn't say dog anywhere it was called like crispy best meat or something crispy best what was it called succulent yeah there was a name like a euphemism for it they would say yeah you can't advertise it yeah the reason why i asked if it was like actually good is like because what if it is just fire it's not you have and you're like this is the greatest meat i've ever had in my entire life that's why they're like the government can't stop us like they're just like dude no fuck this that's what i found so funny this is like the new falun gong movement like but instead of weird meditation shit and like not allowing race mixing or whatever the fuck the falun gong guys believe in they're
Starting point is 00:46:00 like no we have to have dog meat the cia starts working with the dog meat people they're doing shen yun but like in america where they're like you have to eat the dog meat it's so good that's what i found really weird about some of the interviews because like a lot of it felt pretty american like the way these people were talking about it like the government can't stop us like i can eat whatever i want like you can't tell people what to do it was it was just i don't know it felt like like we did it back to back. Like freedom in consumption is such a like funny. Yeah. If we just start getting suspicious articles placed in like the New York
Starting point is 00:46:32 times about how like these brave warriors fighting against their oppressive regime in China. And it's just the dog guys. I'm going to know that they were watching the podcast and they're like, that's the thing. That's the new thing. That's how were watching the podcast and they're like, that's the thing. That's the new thing. That's how we do it. That's how we hit
Starting point is 00:46:48 these guys hard. It's funny though because like, I don't know what it's like now but at the time they were making a documentary in Korea, they have like
Starting point is 00:46:54 a dog meat industry. Like it's completely legalized. You have dogs that are bred like specifically for like meat. Wait, they eat dog meat in Korea too?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Like factory farm. It's not illegal. How come we don't fucking hear about Koreans eating dog all the time? You know they eat dog in in Korea too? Yeah. Like factory farm. It's not illegal. How come we don't fucking hear about Koreans eating dog all the time? You know they eat dog in Switzerland as well. Yeah. What the fuck? Not at the same scale, but it's like there's a holiday?
Starting point is 00:47:14 Yeah, yeah. It's like all these mountain villages. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. But that's why we did it, because it's always framed as China. It's a Chinese thing. Chinese people are barbaric. But, like, they don't even fucking, like, they don't do it as freely as other countries do.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Yeah. There's a shame to it. Like, so when they're eating it in Switzerland, there's, like, they're doing it, like, secretly. Yeah. But in Korea, they just have farms. Yeah. Little factory farms for dogs. You can look it up.
Starting point is 00:47:40 There's, like, a specific kind of dog breed that's just for me. It's like a mastiff. It's like a big, big guy. Is he cute? Yeah. I mean, all animals are cute. Pigs are cute. That's true.
Starting point is 00:47:51 But like, I don't give a fuck. You know what I mean? Like I've pet a pig, you know, they're like, well, pigs are like kind of gnarly. Have you guys ever like been in contact with a pig? Yeah. We got in contact with a big fucking. This is when we're filming this. Fucked your ass your ass yeah i got bitten on the ass by a giant pig it was so fucking painful this was a big like i don't know they're really big two three hundred
Starting point is 00:48:14 kilos maybe it was like impossible like when it walks past you just like it's like a truck like the air that comes with it like pushes you back it was so that's too big it's not true but it was felt very similar no i i i mean i i only pet like little teacup pigs that are not like actually small pigs there's no such thing as like a miniature pig yeah that's a lie that they just tell yeah yeah and then you're just stuck with this like behemoth in your house but like when they're little babies in in japan i went and like pet them and like their hair is kind of coarse yeah and it's like sparse yeah yeah and like you can see their skin it was a little like liver spots on their back yeah they're very cute but like but like also kind of gross they look like a fat english man yeah but the best thing
Starting point is 00:49:04 about this pig interaction was we were looking for cute pigs to film so we contacted a guy on facebook marketplace that said he had these miniature pigs and he's like yeah my figs my pigs you can come film them they're really cute we're like sure we rock up at this bogey guy's house and it was like i don't know it looked a bit like a like a pig sty like a pig sty very good and then this pig just came up first thing he did was massive, was just like take a chunk out of Alexa's arm. It was so bad.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Like beat you so hard. You fucking... And like... You were bleeding? Yeah. That just scared me for the rest of the day. I'm like, how the fuck are we going to film this? Like these...
Starting point is 00:49:36 Oh, it's terrifying. These are like... I don't know what this guy was doing. It's food. You're like, pigs are not friends. They're food. Yeah, changed my mind completely. There are nice pigs out there.
Starting point is 00:49:44 This guy was just... Yeah, I mean, they are not friends yeah there are nice pigs out there this guy i mean they're also super smart too yeah but that's what i was saying like i love uh winnie the moo is a cow in maya's uh sanctuary alveas and like i love that fucking thing uh it's like a big stupid dog you know they got big eyelashes yeah they're very cute they love like there's like a spot i feel like when you connect with an animal like when you when you find their spot when you're scratching it they go oh this is so good that's when you're like oh fuck i don't feel that way about cows at all i still want to eat that shit like i don't give a fuck but dogs is just it's you know i i know it's like hypocritical
Starting point is 00:50:20 technically actually it's hypocritical but like it does feel weird yeah no i can understand it did feel weird being there because the point of the docker was to talk about that point it felt weird when you ate a kilo of dog meat well i mean it's just like we're white this feels so weird we're white people at like a dog meat festival like chances are we're activists we really every time we sat at a table to interview people we we needed to kind of like prove that we're like on there we literally had the cops come up and then they saw us eating the the dog meat and they were So we really, every time we sat at a table to interview people, we needed to kind of like prove that we're like on there. We literally had the cops come up and then they saw us eating the dog meat and they were literally like, oh, these guys are kind of cool. They took some photos with us.
Starting point is 00:50:54 They watched us eat them. Like literally our plan of eating as much two kilos of dog each worked so well. Yeah, it was perfect. Everyone was like, these white guys love dog. Like fuck. Yeah, that's crazy. But it was like a wider kind of anti-capitalist point um in the docker that doesn't exist but like um it's uh we're following these like anti because you're too busy yeah exactly we're following these anti-dog meat activists who like
Starting point is 00:51:19 can i even reveal this like i won't say the person, but should I reveal the kind of twist? Maybe not. Don't reveal the twist. Save it for the... Dude. Okay, never mind. Leave it as a cliffhanger. But we stumbled upon a sweatshop, which is very important in the story.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah. Anyway. The activist... Never mind. I don't know what the... I don't even want to speculate. I don't even want to speculate. I don't even want to speculate. It's good.
Starting point is 00:51:47 But yeah, when the documentary does come out, you guys will watch it if it does come out. We should be spruiking a docker that's never coming out. It's coming out. I hope so. It's coming. It's just where... Or you don't even know if they still do it.
Starting point is 00:52:00 That's so long. I think we actually heard them don't do it. We're obviously like seven years ago. So we look young. I think they don't do it anymore. Someone told us after COVID they shut all the wet markets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:12 We filmed this just... I don't think they shut wet markets. I think they got rid of the dog shelters. Yeah. They thought dogs were vectors for spreading COVID. And like,
Starting point is 00:52:20 I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what happened after that. Dude, there's so many dogs that you could have eaten that they just like killed and buried somewhere,
Starting point is 00:52:27 including the fucking steel mill that you guys went to. That's why I thought about the dog. When you talked about the stray dogs in the steel mill, I was like, damn, there's a lot of dogs you can fucking just round up. You know, what are they going to do? It's better to just eat them than fucking kill them and not use their meat.
Starting point is 00:52:43 You know what I mean? I didn't know that there's like a successful korean dog meat industry i don't know if it still exists they had pressure i think during the seoul olympics ages ago to close it but it did nothing why is it always the olympics why does the olympics make people be like yeah we got to change our country because we're playing a sport i think that's just an advertising thing oh yeah yeah oh they banned it and jen dude in your documentary is never coming out because like even the flip side of it is gone what is it the consumption of dog meat is heavily restricted and soon to be illegal in south korea on january 9th 2024 oh i'm far the south korean
Starting point is 00:53:21 parliament unanimously passed a law banning the distribution and sale of dog meat to take effect in three years. Oh my god. That's how you know they fucking still eat that shit. This is so widespread. We can't just shut it down tomorrow. It's going to take at least three years. It's like a whole industry. How do you even like replace those jobs and those factories?
Starting point is 00:53:38 Well, I guess you just put pigs in there instead of dogs and then you're fine. Yeah, exactly. It's so funny because I'm rooting for people to keep eating dogs just so we can release his dog right now. Yeah. I got three years. I got a deadline.
Starting point is 00:53:48 It's been like seven years. I need another three. I got a good decade to get this out. It does sometimes take you guys a long time to finally complete projects. You told me about torturing me the first time a year ago when you came and stayed at my house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:02 It took me to come out to Australia to complete the project, which is still not complete. No, no. I mean, we've done as much on this as I have on the dog meat thing. So it could be another 10 years. America is going to, by the time you take this out, America is going to apologize for torturing. We're going to find out they never even tortured.
Starting point is 00:54:23 We'll just change the country then. Yeah. It'll be like, I can't believe Australia does this. Russia does this. It's true. There's plenty of countries that still torture. So you can just like massage it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:54:33 And the techniques are always the same. Yeah, true. Yeah. They do rely on old school methods. I'm just looking at like dog meat for sale in the Gyeongdong market in 2007. Is that in Korea? Gag yeah even you just reading that out makes it sound delicious yeah it was sound too much like bulgogi yeah it was so nice in china because they'd like fry it up with like ginger and and soy sauce he's
Starting point is 00:55:00 actually getting nostalgic about eating no it's like the smell I mean it has nothing to do with dog it's like what they what the sauces they put in it like just really good Chinese food consumption of dog meat has experienced
Starting point is 00:55:11 a precipitous decline over the past three decades in South Korea this has been attributed to changes in legislation a couple white boys with swag coming to China
Starting point is 00:55:19 and also to Korea to find out the consumption of dog meat no he did that really well he fucking killed me. Even when you said white boys with swag, I was like, this could still be real.
Starting point is 00:55:29 It could still be us. But we don't have swag, so probably not about us. Demographic decline in the minority that consumes dog meat and the increasing number of dogs owned as pets. Estimates of the number of animals consumed vary widely and are subject to a significant debate.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Foreign media often quotes estimates of one or two million dogs consumed per year. I guess that's like kind of small when you think about it. Yeah, we're doing the numbers and it's like there are some insane things for me. Like I think like something like 5 million, 50 million. I've got to find out how many pigs just get thrown out. There are in 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and R rural affairs reported 200 registered dog farms and there were still unregistered farms in the country on top of that so you're right it was
Starting point is 00:56:10 like out in the open and i never even knew about it i only knew about like the them doing the festival in china it's funny i traveled to vietnam when i was like 19 and um there's a bit of dog meat down south and the funny kind of cultural thing, because like Vietnam is like Buddhist, but you've also got lots of Catholics from like the French colonization. And it's like only the Catholics that eat dogs. The Buddhists are like, oh, yuck. It's like a Catholic thing.
Starting point is 00:56:36 So dog markets get really big around Christmas. But are Buddhists vegetarian? Why the fuck do the Catholics eat the dog meat? I don't know. That's so strange. You should investigate that. Maybe they were poorer the Catholics eat the dog meat? I don't know. That's so strange. You should investigate that. Maybe they were poorer? I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I don't know what the... They got the... Yeah, they converted the broke boys. Yeah. Yeah. They didn't have that Buddhist mindset. Broke is a mindset. That's wild.
Starting point is 00:56:59 You guys have done a lot of crazy shit. Many people here probably don't even know. They're like, oh, yeah, you do do engineering videos and you broke into the cia base uh but like you have i i knew about these guys many many years ago before i ever met them and had totally forgotten about them basically because of the haircut documentary do you know how you found because that wasn't really big on youtube that was like what about like 15 000 maybe that was like it would have had like 15 000 maybe it was like a socialist reddit or something like that i think that's probably what it was because like especially in the early days of my of my twitch stream i definitely had a lot
Starting point is 00:57:35 of like like hardline like you know 10 20 year communist like people that were like oh finally we found a space for ourselves that they wanted to fuck up because that's like the number one thing that socialists love doing is like going in infiltrating spaces and fucking the vibes up and they probably loved it because they're like there's a there's a phenomenon left book way back in the day that i observed that i thought was very strange like people that would say not that like north korea was like in a shitty situation because of sanctions which is understandable and normal and true to say but they would also they would literally go so far as to say that like they eat
Starting point is 00:58:16 hamburgers every day in north korea yeah there's no homelessness yeah yeah people that would like hype up north korea from like iowa like an iowa maoist who's like dude you don't understand the democratic people's republic of korea it's sweet and it's like no it's not because you would live there if it was fucking sweet yeah yeah we had a lot of those people get in contact with us after uh the korean video but then also strangely a lot of like almost conservative right-wing people that almost liked it from like a anti-government point of view i remember we even went on like a right wing like he was just wanting to chat to us about like oh anti-media stuff it was interesting that there was a crossover there yeah like for those
Starting point is 00:58:56 of you who didn't watch it's a great documentary i i highly recommend it they go to north korea to like dispel a lot of the rumors about like the dispel a lot of the like false stuff that always circulates in uh in not just social media but like mainstream media about north korea like oh kim jong-un like you know ate his enemies or whatever yeah he killed his uncle by feeding him to 150 starving dogs yeah yeah that's a lot of dogs and which is funny because that could have eaten the dogs. It's so crazy. How do they... Eating the dogs.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Exactly. Too many dogs to just waste. Which is really funny to think about because like, Yanmi Park still does that shit. Like, very successfully. And people love eating it up because like,
Starting point is 00:59:40 I think it's just copium. Like, we need something to be like... There must be a worse place. So much worse than our situation. Thank God we don't have healthcare because we could be like Korea. I was fascinated by it because I obviously thought
Starting point is 00:59:55 that there's a lot of... What's going on? It's Lucas. They're just talking. I got scared. I thought there was a crowd of people coming into your house. They're finally, the CIA is like, they're like all three of them are here. Drone strike them now.
Starting point is 01:00:16 But yeah, no, I thought it was really good. And you go and you get the haircut, which you suspiciously have never changed since you got the fucking haircut. It was the best haircut i ever had no it's weird because he had long hair before the fucking haircut documentary and ever since then you've only had this hair i always show them the exact same photo from the documentary just like i want to look like i did when i was in grade yeah yeah it's just like i only get a haircut like once a year okay what's up oh he's just giving us that we're in an hour so we can move on to the paywall stuff to get into like the real the real
Starting point is 01:00:51 yeah we'll we'll we'll hide eating the dog dick wasn't the the bad like i can't get it that's like that's like half the fucking story there's so much more that you can hear behind the paywall at patreon.com slash fearann where we'll talk about more of their travel stories in a little bit. So go to patreon.com slash fearann. But yes, before we do that,
Starting point is 01:01:16 where can people find you? What do you want to shout out? YouTube. Boyboy on YouTube. Great channel. I did a thing. YouTube. And Boyboy as well. Yeah. He's double-dipping. It's a great channel. I did a thing, YouTube, and Boy Boy as well. Yeah. Yeah. He's double dipping. That's true.
Starting point is 01:01:28 I did a things, a channel is, I mean, you also do a little bit of, you do a little bit of political commentary. I try to mix it in when I'm kind of like a little bit bored
Starting point is 01:01:38 with just making something stupid. I'm like, oh, I'll talk about something. Like you do the man catchers. A little bit real. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Very pro police. Oh, you did the man catchers. A little bit real. Yeah, exactly. Very pro-police. Oh, you did the Black Lives Matter one where you show protesters how to survive different... I mean, it's not very good advice. I don't think you should make your own bulletproof vest and think you can get shot with an American gun. Yeah, or when you did the school shooting one. Oh, yeah, great.
