I wanted two really bright, funny, wonderful shooting stars. But instead you got... No, no, no. No, I think you both are very talented. I mean, thank you guys for being on time. I appreciate it. Have you guys... Okay, we want to tell...

We were talking about a Toronto story. I think we should all give our fun festival Toronto story. Mine was, I got going to do press. A cop stopped our car, our cab, because the bumper was falling off. Yeah. Already very un-Canadian. Yeah, very un-Canadian.

And of course, you know, we know you guys as very nice polite sweet people and that's what I thought was going to happen the cop was like hey what happened to your bumper

why is your bumper falling off and the cab driver was like oh I don't know and he was kind of mumbling through it and I go hey officer

do you think we could jump out of the cab because we're late for the radio in my mind I'm thinking polite nice request and he goes you shut the fuck up

he goes I'll shut the fuck up. He goes, I'll fucking deal with you when I'm done. And I was like, okay, they're just like us. Not that much different. So that was my first Toronto, welcome to Toronto experience. My first day in Toronto was that. What was yours?

How turned on were you when you said that? It was hot. I was like, why don't you cuff me? Why don't you arrest me, bad boy? No, but finish the story. And then what happened after that? It kept going. It did keep going.

Yeah, it kept going. He kept berating. He kept berating. And I didn't help the situation. And then because I was trying to reserve myself and get a little less. I wanted to go down. They go high. You go low.

Do you know that? It's like, don't get more mad. But then. What was your exact energy? What was my energy? Yeah, when he said, shut the fuck up. And what did you do? It was cool.

It was cool to hear it. And I also kind of wanted to fight. You know what I mean? But what did you say? What did you say? I said, we're just trying to get out of the cab. That's what you said, right?

I said, we're just trying to get out of the cab. You said it like that? Yeah, we're just trying to get out of the cab. Okay, and then what did he say? And he said, well, then shut the... He goes, when I'm fucking done with him,

then I'll deal with you. And then you went... No, and I went like this. I said, oh my God, well, it shut the... He goes, when I'm fucking done with him, then I'll deal with you. And then you went... No, when I went like this, I said, oh, my God, well, fuck it. I was going to be late to radio. Like, what a pussy thing to say. I'm going to be late to my radio appearance. You know I do radio, sir.

And then you told me something else after that. It kept going. Yeah, yeah, it kept going. I got out of the car, and we began to wrestle in the streets. He removed his baton. I was able to wrangle it of the car, and we began to wrestle in the streets. He removed his baton. I was able to wrangle it away from him,

and I beat a cop to death on Queen Street. He's still there for the most part, I imagine. What was yours, Ronnie? Did you have one? Did you have a good one that happened so far? No, nothing. Nothing exciting? Nothing?

Nothing. I met the people from Kim's Convenience. That was great. Oh, that's cool. Oh, yeah, that's awesome. I just had brunch with them the super nice people they are what you expect

Canadians to be not that not our cops beating the fuck out of you I had something similar oh no please no Canadian like I dropped my sunglasses

on the street and a team of people came to my to help me literally like four people worked together one was like

wait another one grabbed them someone like kissed my hand like it was really lovely and by the way sit up on someone's shoulders right they picked you up and they paraded you around yeah like this just like that yeah little less uh and by the way when we say like canadian well when i say canadians are nice i don't even mean it in that american condescending like canadians are weak that's not what i mean yeah i mean they are nice because i'm not american i got no horse in this race so you know i mean i'm not seeing this from american eyes i'm seeing it from like asia and from australia and in canada i'm like yeah everyone just chill they know how to have a good time but they know how to take care of each other like there's a real you're saying we're very condescending

is what you're saying as Americans. Yeah, America is condescending. I feel like Canada is what America should have been. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's true. We all agree.

I think we agree. It's what America should have been but America just went too far with the freedom. You know what I mean? No. They adjusted the slider too far on the...

Canada... They were playing Madden and they went all the way to like like, fucking, like, all pro. And it should have just kept that, like, just all... We should have been more even keeled, is what you're trying to say. Yeah, yeah. More of a balance.

The first thing we did when we got here was go to the doctor. We did. I went to the doctor. We did. I had to go to the doctor. I'm dead serious. I had to go to urgent care. Like, people here, you can just go smoke weed whenever you want.

You don't even need a card. You just go in. You show your card. People are like, what are you doing? We went to the weed store. I went to the weed store. Yeah. It was too long of a line. I was just like go to urgent care. People here, you can just go smoke weed whenever you want. You don't even need a card. You just go in. You show your card. People are like, what are you doing? We went to the weed store. I went to the weed store. Yeah. It was too long of a line.

I was just like, I can't. I went back to the doctor. I just was like, I'd rather just go get drugs from him. The doctor was so unbelievably nice. He saw me as he was going on break. Do you know how fucking insanely rare that would be? He was like, I was about to go on break, but I just figured I'll take just one last guy. I was like, that is so nice for no reason. In America, it's like, I'm about to go on break, but I just figured I'll take just one last guy. I was like, that is so nice for no reason.

In America, it's like, I'm on break. Fuck off. I'm just bleeding out of my eye. He's like, who cares? Also, I had the very first night, I had a man give me directions and walk me around. Literally, walk me around. If anybody came to my stand-up show, I talked about it. It was the most shocking thing on earth.

He just walked me around. I was like, oh, where's a good place to eat, he walked me around, with no intention on, like, I'm not giving him money, there's not, and then at some point, it was like, at the end of the, we're like, done here, and he was just standing there, and I was like, oh, no, maybe this guy, maybe he was flirting, and thinks I'm interested, and I didn't know how to put that signal out, I was like, I'm straight. I'm not interested. I don't know if you're gay. I don't know what, I don't know, you know. But it got so awkward that I just, I blew him in the keg. And I, yeah, I had to.

You know what I mean? Bought him a filet and blew him. Those are the breaks, baby. He was Canadian. He was. Yeah, he was. So maple syrup came out. Yeah, maple syrup.

Yeah, yeah, he was. So maple syrup came out. Yeah, maple syrup, yeah. Okay, I want to do this. I didn't have that experience. I want to do this. I wrote some would you rathers in my phone because I thought this would be fun to hear both of your perspectives because you're both dynamically different smart people.

So how about this? Would you rather have the body of a refrigerator, okay? So your body is a refrigerator, or roller skates for feet? Refrigerator. Why? Because I'm so scared of being like, you know I don't know how to ride a bike or swim. It's embarrassing.

Yeah, so roller skates is not, I'd rather, like, I've been different shapes my whole life, you know college was hard for me. So I feel like I could figure out how to flatter a refrigerator body. You think so? Do you not? I just, refrigerators are big.

I mean, I don't think Aritzia sells refrigerator clothes. She loves Aritzia. We went there two fucking times in one day. Do you guys know what that is? You know what Aritzia is? It's a clothing store here. It started here, right? In Canada?

Did it, right? Yeah. It's so good. We literally went to both of them. There are two. We went to them. And she pretended like she didn't want to go in the second one. I was like, oh, my God.

There's another one. She's like, oh, my God. There is. I was like, you planned this. This was quite obvious. So what do you think, Ronnie? What would you have? Roller skates for feet?

Normally, I go roller skates for feet. But I just feel like TSA would give me too much trouble going through the airport, and I fly a lot, so I have to go with the fridge. You have to go with the fridge? Yeah, fridge, just for logistical purposes. Right, for life, for lifestyle. I would do roller skates

for feet for sure, without a doubt. I always want to show off, and I'm sure I'd get a good closer out of roller skates. There's got to be something I can find to do a couple of flips, a couple of spins. Remember Terry? Remember when Nick Swartzen's character from Reno 911?

How much did you love him because he was on roller skates? Just making jokes on skates just looks so sweet to me. I just found out how much Canadians love hockey. They play a version of ice hockey full pads, same stick orange ball, but no

skates. With feet? With feet and they run and they wear pads in the summer. What's it called? Ball hockey. That's really silly. It's so hot that the goalkeepers have to call timeout sometimes because they're just in the heat in full pad.

Why don't they just go inside? I don't know. I feel like that's the level of athlete I could score. That's who I'm going to hook up with. NBA, NFL, ball hockey. Ball hockey. Does anybody here play ball hockey? Yeah, does anybody do that?

You do, sir. You do in the front? You play it? Yeah. And it's always outside? Oh, does anybody do that? You do, sir You do in the front? You play it? Yeah And it's always outside? Oh, okay But it's hot, right? Like, you're

Because it's a summertime thing Can play through winter Is it because most people that play it can't skate? But why can't Why won't Why did you take off the skate? Why didn't you wear rollerblades to play? That was one of my... Everybody can skate, but nobody can rollerblade.

Canada is a fascinating country. Hi, I'm Esther. Okay, how about this one How about this Have to live the rest of your life In an airport Like that Tom Hanks movie What was that fucking movie called What was that called

Terminal Terminal You guys knew that way too quickly Yeah It was probably shot here Have to live the rest of your life In an airport Like Tom Hanks

Or Or Live in Windsor, Canada Local joke Local joke Do you guys know what Windsor is No tell us Windsor, Canada? Local joke. Local joke. Do you guys know what Windsor is? No, tell us. Windsor is their Detroit.

Oh. Dave Mahedge is from Windsor. Yes. Dave Mahedge is from Windsor. He's a cool guy. So what would you rather do? Airport for sure. Airport for sure.

There's no doubt about it. Come on, Esther. It also depends on which airport, right? There's airports and then there's airports. Yeah, that's true. Are we talking Singapore airport? Are we talking fucking LaGuardia? What's the worst global airport you've experienced?

The worst? Yeah. I mean, there's one in Australia which is like a budget terminal for budget flights and is basically a refugee holding cell. Jesus. There's no roof. It's a, it's a,

it's, it's, there's no roof. It's just a fence and the plane lands. Yeah. They give you stairs to come down the plane. But after that you are on your own. You're like, yeah,

there's no roof. It's just a chain metal fence around it. And then you, Oh my God. What's it called? What's the airport called? Uh, it's the budget terminal at like,

Oh, they call it, but I thought you were referencing it as a budget. No, no, no. It's called the budget terminal. That's fair. Those two things should not go together. I know.

They may have improved it after some people died while trying to find the airport. So they may have changed it a bit. They may have put a roof on. Because I lived there for like 10 years. So I'm not talking my ass here. Actually, we would fly to gigs and we'd be there and we'd be like,

oh, I, we, now I guess we're just in detention now. You can't leave. We get off the plane and we're just in detention. Sometimes people call me Budget Whitney Cummings. That's a good thing,

right? Esther. I would, you're nowhere near her. I would do, I think I would choose Windsor Because I It sounds affordable

And The airport food Is too expensive So I'd want to like That's very smart It is too It is way too expensive Do you ever

Do you guys ever eat When you're traveling On the road at the airport Or no Sometimes you just have to See I avoid it Like the fucking plague I go out of my way

To make sure I don't I'll starve without eating it Because it's always garbage They always have A bad food rating So in Canada way to make sure I don't. I'll starve without eating it because it's always garbage. They always have a bad food rating. So in Canada, you guys have pass or don't pass, right, for your food rating? Okay, yeah. Is that a health thing or is that? That's our health code. Okay, I hear you.

Pass or fail. That's good. I love that. Just pass or fail. We have A, B, and C, okay? We are still allowed to operate with a C. That's, how many, raise your hand if you're a C student. Raise your hand if you're a C student across the board. Okay, you were a C student?

Yeah? Okay. Would you let you operate? No. You see what I'm saying? It's like disgusting and ridiculous. Okay, how about this one? Fart every time someone asks you a question or throw up when someone says your name?

I already do both. Esther, Esther, Esther, Esther, Esther. Fart when someone asks you a question or throw up when someone says your name? I'd have to go, unfortunately, the first one because throwing up is so scary. I'm scared of throwing up. I don't want to do that. But fart every time. Think about, I know you're not single anymore, but if you're on a date, it's all questions. How would you ever get in a relationship?

Like, you're sitting at dinner and they're just like, so where are you from? You're like, I'm from Windsor. I don't know. I just think, I don't know.

I think I would do throw up. What would you do, Ronnie? I would vomit. Yeah, you'd vomit every time your name is called. I feel like vomiting for me feels more on brand

than farting. I feel like vomiting, people would get it. Do you have puke merch shirts when you go on the road? Yeah, I don't know. I have like one or two act outs in comedy

and one of them is vomiting. Okay, good. So I feel like it's very like, yeah. I can do that easily. Honestly, that was really good. That was very good. Yeah.

You guys aren't going to clap for that? That's very fucking rude. He just gave you a piece, you know? I want to ask you because I went to you. What would you rather do? Would you rather fart

every time someone asks you a question or throw up when someone says your name? Right. Mm-hmm. Pick a nickname. Smart loophole. Smart loophole.

Yeah, not such a C student after all. C student, yeah. Very good. But you could also avoid the fart thing by telling people, you're like, don't ask me any questions, just tell me statements. Right, some are significantly worse yes you know that's exactly right that's exactly right not our thoughts not all farts are created equal that's a very good point um and whenever i travel i have my diet is always so terrible and

it upends my normalcy so i've had ghost shits for the past three days do you guys know what you know what ghost shits are right where you poop and wipe and there's nothing there It's the most remarkable You're like, how did it happen? It's like as if it was just removed from your body Put in the toilet And then you're like Your butt was like, I just woke up, what happened?

Did you guys go to the bathroom? I wasn't here So you refuse to eat shit at the airport I do not But as soon as you leave the airport You eat tons of shit No no no I'm just saying

It's not my normal diet My schedule's always off I eat at wrong hours Right I still try to eat As healthy as I can Yeah But it's just always like

You know Breakfast is at the wrong time Dinner is ridiculous Like it just never When you're at festivals You're traveling for comedy It's like you know You just

Sometimes you're just at The subject to what they've got And what you have timing-wise. It just sucks. You have to, this is a great city for food, thank God, thank God,

because we have to go to places where we're like, what's good to eat? And they're like, we have a Burger King. And you're like, okay, but do you have food? Burger King,

what a luxury. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm a little high class. I'm sorry, yeah. What's the worst city for food that you've been to? I was once, well, where I went to college in like Southern Illinois, I once asked, is there a Jewish deli around? And someone said, there's a subway.

And I was like, I'm fucking dropping out. I'm dropping out. Which school was that? University of Illinois in Champaign. Champaign, baby. U of I. A great school. You went to school in Australia.

Yes. Did you move there for college? Yeah, yeah. I moved there for university. Okay, wonderful. University. That's how we say it. Oh, yeah.

You guys do too. That's right. We say college. Because we're... Trash. Oh. See students. I went to a school called Arizona State University.

Unequivocally the most Trash school on earth For sure I just went to Tempe Arizona Last weekend I was in Tempe But sorry continue No no no

Tell me all about it Because it's a tough place No someone Someone told me that It's the all time party school Like every weekend It's just I think it was for a long time

Because of the weather Yeah Florida State Kind of same thing Bert Kreischer Where where he went. Bert went to school for, you guys know, for 30 years. He's still there. He's going to finish soon.

You guys do know the movie Van Wilder was based on Bert. You know that, right? What? You guys don't know that? I didn't know that. What? Two comics on that? Yeah.

Bert's story was bought by Rolling Stone. Am I wrong? Is it Rolling Stone? Yes, I'm getting nods. And fucking, that's what made Van Wilder on it? Yeah. Bert's story was bought by Rolling Stone. Am I wrong? Is it Rolling Stone? Yes, I'm getting nods. And fucking that's what made Van Wilder. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

So that like funny, goofy Ryan Reynolds, I'm in college too long. That's a real human that we're friends with. Wow. That's like the weirdest. Like every time I see that, I'm like, this is so strange that this is real, that I know that man.

Dude, completely miscast. Yes. Yes. that I know that man. Dude, completely miscast. Yes. Oh my God. What, they couldn't find a fat white dude?

Yeah, how? There's so many. There's so many. Well, he just got, he just, Bert just sold a show based on the machine story. Do you know that machine story?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he was, he was like doing the Bert thing on the internet, fishing for famous people. He was like, who could play me? And everyone that said yes, of course, every comic was like, this guy's good looking, Bert.

You gotta get someone right in your lane. I don't know who could play... Who would play you in your movie? Whitney Cummings? But if it was going to actually get made? Dave Grohl see now we're there Ronnie who would play

who would play you there's only like three options so who are they name the Asians in comedy you know there's like three Bobby Lee

could be a dramatic actor Awkwafina Awkwafina play me yeah dramatic actor yeah could be a dramatic actor Daniel Dae Kim yeahafina. Awkwafina. Dramatic actor. Yeah, could be a dramatic actor. Daniel Dae Kim.

Yeah, Daniel Dae Kim. Yeah, let's get... Actually, to be honest, Simu. Simu's the best. Yeah, that guy's the best. I love him. Seems like there's more options

than you've led us to believe. Yeah, but really, I probably want to just play myself like guys. Yeah, you'd want to play yourself. I'm trying to, yeah. I think Scarlett Johansson

would be really good at you. Scarlett Johansson would be cool, yeah. Yeah, Scarlett Johansson. Who's me? Who's me, Johansson would be cool, yeah. Yeah, Scarlett Johansson. Who's me? Who's me, Esther? Who would play me in a movie? Oh, don't make like an ugly face. That's so rude. No, I'm just thinking like Brad Pitt.

Carrot Top. Who said Carrot Top? Who said it? Raise your hand. Who said Carrot Top? Raise your hand. Who said it? Raise your hand. Remove him. Yo, someone said Ed Sheeran. That's pretty good. Yeah, Ed Sheeran could play me.

He's got a phenomenal voice and a very terrible face, but he could play me. Do women find him attractive? Do women find him attractive, genuinely? No? Kind of? You say kind of? Andrew. Yeah. Yeah, they do? No, as in he's got a beautiful voice

and a terrible face. Yes, but physically. That's correct. That's what it should be. Okay, you're right. Fine. I'm Ed Sheeran. What did you say?

What did he say? Louis C.K. Louis C.K. Yeah, yeah. Sure. Sure. Let me talk. Hold on.

You know what? This is crazy. I got, I shouldn't say this, but I don't care. My agent sent me an audition to go out for this role. And I'm not going to say who ended up doing it because it's fucking funny. I'll tell you guys offline. But it's, I'm sorry. I can't.

But they sent me a roll. In the description, it says, comedian who ends up sexually assaulting a peer, preferably redheaded. I called my agents. I was like, you want me to go out for this? What the fuck? I was like, this is such a bad idea. They were like, oh, we didn't really. We thought it was, you thought maybe you'd think it's funny. He's like, this is such a bad idea. They were like, oh, we didn't really, we thought it was,

you thought maybe you'd think it's funny. He's like, you're fired. You're absolutely fired. It's so, that's so fucked up. Like,

but I got sent roles for years. But you ended up auditioning for it, right? I got the part. Coming out in March. But I do,

I want to hear you guys' experience on this. Me too, the movie. Yeah, me, yeah, me too,

the movie. I used to get you guys' experience on this. Me too, the movie. Yeah, me too, the movie. I used to get parts. Auditions for me used to be like, not get parts, get auditions for like, it would always be like me, Ian Edwards, and like a blind kid. It was always like, I was always thrown into this like they don't know what to do. The redheaded guy was never, it's always been that way for us. They're like, you're weird looking, we don't know where to place you like I've said this before no one ever wrote a script

that's like the handsome boyfriend walked in with flowing red hair no one's ever no one's ever done that it's always like you know the redhead put his penis in the thing and everybody laughed you know I get I get sent I get I used to get sent the fucking worst did you ever get those when you're like

think of me I used to go out the fucking worst. Did you ever get those? What did they think of me? I used to go out often for roles where the description was could be female or male. We'll take anything. Wow. Yeah, no. Similar to you. Like, I'm not...

Like, they don't write, like, the beautiful girl is, like, five foot, half Jewish, half regular. Like, that's not really the thing. A few foot half Jewish half regular like that's not really the thing a few people caught the half regular part they do

yeah they do though they do you don't think you're an archetype I don't go I didn't really audition that much I'll just say that

ooh offer offers ooh no no I meant it in a bad way they just give it to me no no no I meant it in a bad way

like there's not a lot for me but you're on a wonderful show right now, there's not a lot for me. But you're on a wonderful show right now. Yeah, that's true. And Ronnie, did you have to do... Were you put out for bullshit? Did you have to go out for a lot of stupid stuff? You know, I... This is too sincere for this podcast,

but I don't... Any audition, I just do it because I feel like I need to practice. That's smart. So anything that's BS or whatever, I just do it anyway. So one thing I don't even know

if I can talk about this you can talk about anything okay so I'll try not to say names so that we all don't get sued so I don't get sued but there was a movie

that involved a big dog and in the movie the main antagonist is a genetic CEO, genetic scientist of this huge company. And he's trying to solve the food shortage. And his thing was he's growing corn, he's growing sheep, and it's all getting fucked up.

The sheep have two heads instead of being bigger. They're like, oh, now we have more mouths to feed. like you know corn he's growing like sheep and it's all getting fucked up like the sheep have two heads instead of being bigger they're like oh now we have more mouths to feed and you know and he keeps

fucking up and then suddenly this big dog appears and he doesn't know how this dog appears and he goes like

yo this dog is huge and then I had to go out for this role and I was like guys I can't I'm gonna do it

because I need to practice. But I cannot do this role where an Asian guy is seen looking at a big dog as food. I know it wasn't written like that. And they were trying to do an open casting. But just by the quirk of society and culture and just the way things work. I was like, if I get offered it, I can't do it. I'm going to do it for practice, but I cannot be seen

as the Asian dude trying to eat a big dog. Do you know I played the part of the dog? I did that role. Oh, you did it? Yeah, that was me. I was the big red dog.

Are you being serious right now? I can't tell. No, no, no. Okay, cool. He beat me for the role. Right. I'm a little sad that face. He beat me for the role and it really I'm a little sad that face. He beat me for the role

and it really fucked me up. Speaking of dogs here, let me give you this one. Would you rather kill ten people or one puppy? Ten people.

So fast. So fast. Why did you go straight to this one after the dog thing? Well, that's why. It was a good segue. Good segue?

Would you rather kill ten people or a puppy? Oh, fuck. Ten people, dude. You're going to kill ten people. You didn't even think about it. kill 10 people or a puppy? Oh, fuck. 10 people, dude. You're going to kill 10 people. You didn't even think about it. I can't kill a puppy.

That's like the stuff Hitler did. Esther. Hitler killed humans. How do you not know this? Are you really going to kill a puppy? Ten humans? Think of how nice and sweet this girl was. Do you remember how cool she's been the whole fucking time?

You have to kill her. You're going to kill her? Look at her. Look at her right now. No, look at her. You're going to kill her. I don't want to look at my victim. What's that?

You have to make eye contact. Yeah, you have to make eye contact while you do it. That's that? She wants... Yeah, you have to make eye contact while you do it. That's a weird request. You have to make eye contact away from me or get off

before you kill me. You gotta kill me immediately after I come. Not one second of shame I want. Esther, you would seriously quickly kill

10 human beings? Oh my god, what is this show? It's fun. I'm trying to get canceled. What can you... I want to hear you guys talk about killing a puppy. I cannot, as I said before, as an Asian guy,

I cannot be seen harming dogs. It's terrible for stereotypes. So because of that, I'm just going to have to... I'm going to have to kill this puppy but not eat it. That's what's going to happen. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to kill this puppy but not eat it. That's what's going to happen. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to waste food in this instance. Yeah. That's a bummer.

You can always give it to somebody else. Yeah. Family and friends. Yeah. I would kill a puppy. I hate to say that. I would kill a puppy. Here's why.

Because there are certain breeds that I'm like, get rid of it. Stop it. You've seen some dogs where you're like, oh, fuck. Oh, gross. Yeah, some of these are mistakes. Yeah, some of them. Yeah, they overbred. When they're like, my dog is a mutt.

She's like 50,000 things. And we got her tested. And they send you back all the things she is. You're 23 to meet your dog? I did. I did. That's awesome. I did that too. You see that I'm a white guy, right? I like all the things she is. You're 23 to meet your dog? I did, I did. Oh, that's awesome. I did that too.

You see that I'm a white guy, right? I do all the things. You guys. I live in the suburbs. You guys are bored. What can we do today? Let's get your DNA done. Then we bought candles.

Yeah, it's a mutt, but they say like they're healthier when they're tons of breeds, right? But then you see some that are too many, and you're like, they just went too far. They did the thing, the role that you were going to play. They went too far. The scientists, they do too much.

They went over the deep end, you know? So I think I would unfortunately have to kill a puppy. What if it was your own puppy, though? You couldn't kill your own baby. To make that comparison, then we would say you'd have to kill your own dog or ten of your own family members. That still is easy. How about this? Kill your dog, kill your husband.

Well, I don't have a husband, so... Stop it. Kill your dog, kill the person that you're in love with. Wow. You guys! Kill the dog. No, don't do it. It's not them. My dog is my child. So kill your kid. Kill your lover.

Statistically, I'm more likely to kill my lover. So I'll just go with the statistics. Go with math. That sounds right. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. What would you do? Would you kill your wife or kill your dog?

Dog for sure. Are you kidding me? Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. Dude, fuck? Yeah. Dude, I said dog from the puppy. I was already in with the dog. You're trying to make it

for nothing, dog or whatever. I'd still kill the dog. Still kill the dog. Even if there was no other option, I'd still kill the dog. How about that? I would kill both

and run away and start a new life. Let's get in. Would you guys rather eat glass for every meal or concrete? What the fuck? I'll go with glass because I've seen people do it, so I think it's okay. That's what I said. That's what I think.

Yeah, concrete just feels very heavy. But my friend Joe said... Also, I'm keto right now. I don't know if concrete... Yeah. No, keto is on it. Keto is on it. Concrete is on the keto diet.

You can have it. Okay, but glass just feels lighter. Like, concrete feels very diet. You can have it. But glass just feels lighter. Concrete feels very heavy. You feel like it's not going to weigh you down during the day. You're still going to be able to go exercise. Oh, this glass filled me up. What would you do, Esther? Concrete? I was having a nice day before this.

I guess glass seems like it'll go down smoother. So, glass. You? You think so? Do you not? Did you test this? I did.

I ate both this morning. Concrete is delicious. Maybe it's Canadian concrete. It was so good. All that construction up there, I just kept eating it. What gives you more ghost thoughts, glass or concrete? Neither. Food, usually.

Yeah, those things just settle really well. But I shit a building this morning. They're building it right up the street. That is my last. I promise that's my last one. Thank God. Okay, no more of those. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm sorry that that was so hard for you guys to do and so arduous. I want to poke around at a few things. We'll get to you later, Esther. I want to ask you genuinely, was the Daily Show something that you really strived to do? Because a lot of people get the show

and it's not like the thing that they were striving to do, but it just kind of happened. Name some names. I'm not going to say anything anything who the fuck didn't want it I think you know we both know yeah so the

like you I didn't aspire to it specifically in the sense of ever think I had a chance but I did watch it in college just like everyone did

when the internet first came out in 2005 no when videos started being a thing on the internet more right YouTube was like YouTube came out in 2005 and clips were being shared 2005. No, when videos started being a thing on the internet more, right? YouTube came out in 2005

and clips were being shared more of the daily show and that's how we used to get it. You know, bootleg on YouTube. And we're like, oh, this is really amazing. And we always, if you're a comedian,

you kind of aspire to that kind of show, that kind of pedigree. But the only reason I wasn't specific about it was because I never thought I had the shot anyway and I wasn't in America

and you know forget the whole Asian thing already but the whole like why would they have a non-American on this thing you know so I never really

aspired to it but when they hired me I was like fuck yeah I was you know I totally bought into it and I'm there that's awesome so no but not because

I didn't respect or love it but only because I thought I had no chance so it wasn't anything I really see this as it's incredible to think that like we do that often

comics do that you're like oh there's no way I'll be able to get that thing and then sometimes you get things and you're like oh why did I just

throw myself into the fire for no reason have some confidence you know what I mean like Esther often makes jokes is why I love you that are self deprecatory but like truth be told

you are a pretty girl and you are a wonderful person. So, you know, you're cast in a fucking very big, will be a big show, in my personal opinion, with super big names, talented people, right? Did you have that same fucking comedian notion where you're like, there's no way they're going to give me this thing? A little bit.

I mean, I read, when I first read the role and saw that it was another half-Jewish loser desperate to fit in, I was like, I got this. But based on the other cast members, Kat Dennings, Brenda Song,

Shay Mitchell, they're all such superstars. I was like, I don't fit in here. It's wild. Are you fourth on the call sheet? Yes. Do you guys know what that means? Yes. Yeah. As I should. Do you guys know what that means? Yeah, she's below those people in so many ways. I'm very comfortable below them.

God, I wonder how much more they get paid than you. Do you know what I mean? How can you casually do that? Brenda, you're eating lunch. You're like, oh, God, this is such a good job. We get paid so well. What do you get paid? No, I actually know.

Did you ask? No, I actually know. Did you ask? No. Esther. Guys. Esther. No. Everything's fine.

Ronnie, so when you graduated university. I get paid a lot. Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah, sorry. Yeah. Looks like everyone's got money up here. Except for me. do need these tickets so thank you for buying them that is very nice um no when you graduated you want to stay in australia or was it the goal was to end up going to the states uh when i graduated i started doing comedy immediately i couldn't get a job so i was just doing comedy in australia yeah and i was

doing comedy australia for about 10 years and then I wanted to come to America. So the goal was always to get to the States? Kind of, but not when I started. Just halfway through, it's kind of like, oh, I should probably try to go to America. All my comedy heroes from America, you know, like,

there's real creative energy there. It's a bigger market. They seem to be making things at a higher level there. So I really want to come. And I was going to move to America anyway without anything. And now I laugh at the idea that I was going to move to America anyway without anything and now I laugh at the idea

that I was going to do that because it would have been so hard like even with the show it's it's hard like comedy's hard man

comedy's hard to break into it's hard to do stuff so without something like The Daily Show that really let me you know got my foot in the door

with people just so I could at least have a chance to prove myself. Without that it would be a long slog because the comedy hierarchy in America, they don't care what you did outside America. It means zero. They don't know. You could be Eddie Izzard.

They don't care. It doesn't matter. There's the weird subsects of comedy. Russell Peters is so famous here. He is extremely famous. He sells out fucking arenas around the world. Worldwide, yeah. Yeah, around the world. But in the States, it's just not the same thing.

Not to say that he's not famous, but it's just not the same. It's weird. Because here, he sold out the Air Canada Center, right? Didn't he? Is that what it was? Wow. And multiple times. Fucking arena.

Do, I mean, I don't know how to say this without sounding insulting, but do white people go watch him too? Okay, cool. Okay, cool. Do, I mean, I don't know how to say this without sounding insulting, but do like white people go watch him too? Okay, cool. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just a genuine question. Put down your tiki torches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get him! Get the Asian!

You can't ask us that stuff! I'm happy that that's the case. But you're right. Who's mostly your fan base? When people come out to shows, who do you think is your fan base? I don't know. But you're right. Yeah, you're right. It is. Well, who's mostly your fan base? When people come out to shows, who do you think is your fan base? I don't know. A bunch of people.

I think my fans are too much like me. We don't care about each other. Do you think you have a lot of diversity in your fans? No. By eyeballing, without any hard analytics on this, the city needs to have a large Asian population for me to do great.

But when I do my shows, it's like 30% Asians. In a good way. Right. I like that. As if it would be bad. Yeah. Meaning like I like to play. I don't want to just perform for one type of crowd.

You can just say white people. You can say white people. No. I don't want to just perform for Asians either. I don't want to perform for any one group. I don't want to be just like one group. I hope that it can translate to everybody. And is it men and women?

Yeah, I think so. I think men and women. Are you mostly women? My audience is all short girls and pedophiles. They fit together so well. Can I be honest with you? There is one here. There's a couple of pedos in the audience.

You know who you are. Wait, why do you know that? Okay, cool. Because we're on the same list we have to register together no but this is something very relevant

because the other day we were walking the streets together Esther and I walked fucking 8 miles 8 fucking miles we went to the what was it called

the Kensington market that's very un-American and very un-Los Angeles yes dude that's why we're bragging about it. In New York, you walk like 30 miles a day. We walked 8 miles. Also, in LA,

I love how they have to... It's so American. You have to get... When you get an Uber or Lyft, it's door to door. I don't care if there's a traffic jam in that last block that you could just walk in 10 seconds, you fucking get me from the door and you drop me off at the fucking door.

That's right. Yeah. That's right. Even the drivers won't let you get. I'm like, yo, can you just pull up here? I'll walk one block. And they're like, no. No.

I'm going to drive you through this traffic jam. Well, some people like to finish what they started, Ronnie. Okay. That's just, you just want to go all the way. I'm sorry. You're saying that you walked eight miles. No, we walked eight miles. And Esther, that someone had, you know, like a fan that you walked eight miles. No, we walked eight miles, and Esther,

someone had, you know, like a fan had said hi to me. A fan had said hi to her. And at some point she goes, our fans are very, very different. And I was like, yes, yes they are. Because my fans are like, bro, Santino, what up? And then her fan is like a very meek little girl who like scampered across the street and was like,

oh my God, I'm such a fan of you. Esther, you mean the world to me. And you, right now, in this very podcast, we brought both of them

in the same room together. That's exactly right. They're here somewhere. That's exactly right. They're sitting right next to the pedophile. The bros and the girls. The bros and the,

no, no, I don't think I have, I just have some bros. I don't have all bros. This is a very mixed, fun crowd of human beings that came out to see the show. The bros. No, I don't think I have. I just have some bros. I don't have all bros. This is a very mixed, fun crowd of human beings that came out to see the show. I mean,

but sometimes you do. Love credits left on that. A lot of credits left, baby. A lot of credits left. They're going to spend these credits. Credits are going to spend themselves. Woo!

Credits. Hey, I got to tell you. There was a podcast in here before and they had 12 people, so we fucked them up. Okay? How about that? Oh, shit.

12 people. Yeah. We'll punk? Okay. Yeah. Okay. No. I don't know.

It was an in-conversation. With Ronnie Chang? All right. It was Ronnie Chang. It was your show. That's right. It was your show. Yeah.

I forgot about that. Yeah. No, yeah. But you can't... Somebody told me this. You can't pick your fans. So it's like, you don't want all the fans. You want the right fans.

I believe that. Yeah. That matters, right? Because sometimes people have all the fans so it's like you don't want all the fans you want the right fans i believe that yeah that matters right because sometimes people have all the fans and it's uh you know you can't really control who gloms on to you you know what i mean you gotta be careful and i also feel like in pursuit of all the fans you're gonna make a lot of garbage i think yeah at least you're gonna make stuff that isn't authentic if as in if you're trying to pursue all the fans you're trying to get all the fans not just the right fans. I think you're going to just make stuff.

Is there one comedian that you can think of that has like the right group of fans that it like worked out where they like cultivated it the right way? Oh yeah.

Who do you think? Who do you think? Everyone like very clearly Joe Rogan clearly has his own Yeah but he has

all the fans. Well not all I think he's a large group It's a large group but it's very very clearly, Joe Rogan, clearly has his own. Yeah, but he has all the fans. Well, not all. I think he's a large group. It's a large group, but it's very... Because I open arenas for him. They all look like him.

A lot of them do look like him. Yeah. And it's a requirement when you go to the shows. Yeah, you got to get a tats. Yo, I started... They tat you up. When you do a live podcast,

there's a tattoo artist going... Can you not do that right now? We're podcasting. I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu last November. Did you really? Yeah, and everyone is like, you're Rogan, you're Rogan.

It is. I mean, it is his thing. And I love what he does. I'm just saying that. That's a guy who... He's the embodiment of that. Yeah, a lot of comics have started to get into martial arts.

You, Esther, big makes martial artists. I don't know if you guys know, her ground game is fucking absurd. Would you ever do anything like that? Maybe. I don't know. I'm so lazy, though.

It's hard to exercise. You're not that lazy. I like walking. I love to walk. We walked. And that's, to me, a workout. And some people say that's not a workout. Have you ever owned a gym membership?

I've never owned a gym. That. Have you ever owned a gym membership? I've never owned a gym. That's something you rent, a gym membership. You don't buy those outright, but... For those listening at home, Andrew is extremely pissed off right now. His face is... Hey, they can feel it. I used to work at Equinox,

and I would work out at Equinox when I worked there. You did? When did you work? In LA? Yeah, the one in West Hollywood. You did?

Yeah, back in the day. That's the most obnoxious one. It's horrible. Yeah. Wow. Do you guys know what that is? Do you guys have Equinox up here?

Ugh. You don't? Some of you say no. Equinox is an extremely, what's that? That's one. What is Yorkville? Oh,

is that a town close? Oh, a Richie area. Ooh, what a Canadian, a nice way to say wealthy people. A Richie area. Are you a Richie?

Yeah. For those that don't know, it's a very high-end gym. I think the membership's like... $175, I think, or something. Minimum, right? And it goes up from there, doesn't it? Because I feel like other ones

are in the $200 and something. Yeah, yeah. If you want access to all of them, it's like $250. Ronnie, put away your wallet. What does an average gym membership cost here? What would it cost here? $40.

Right, okay. You have some for $10. Yeah, but those give you tetanus, right? Those gyms. Yeah. You get what you pay for. $10 a month in a gym. You're going to walk out with every single Staph infection And tetanus

It's capital punishment for dying. You just wake up, you're like, oh my God. They're like, goodbye. No. That's really wild.

That was a big influence in your life? Yeah, we just did it in high school. I don't know what Euphoria, you watch that TV show on HBO

I was like, this tastes like shit. And I didn't drink until I was 25. Did he give you a shit beer? I think he did, yeah. He's like, it tastes like shit.

Shut up.

Were you really? Yeah, my parents named me after Ronald Reagan. Really? Yeah, yeah. Were you named after something, Esther? My dead grandma. It's a Jewish thing. Oh. Yeah.

Okay, Ronnie. Yeah. Let me just move right off of that. Yeah. It's a Jewish thing to name you always after your grandmother? No. it's a dead you're dead it's a Jewish thing

to name you always after your grandmother no you're in the Jewish tradition you name the baby after someone who died

this makes sense right raise your hand if you're Jewish is anybody Jewish is this oh is this very frequent sir is there any Jewish people

named Jesus yeah but he died and there's another so there should be somebody else to take this place right one in one out

type of thing you know we talked Esther and I talked pretty heavily for the Jewish people in the room the one thing that we were talking about

that I loved was we said I grew up as a fucking Catholic weirdo and we would look at the dead so if you've ever

knew open casket it's fucking gross. I refuse to go to a lot of funerals and I got a lot of flack from my family because I'm like, I'm not looking at a dead person.

That's the weird, I want to remember them happy and she was like, in Jewish funerals, you don't. We don't fucking do that. Yeah. That's weird.

I love that shit. Yeah, Jews, good go. That's very smart. I don't know why we want to look at them. It's the weirdest fucking thing to walk up. What do you even say?

You know, it's like, it's so uncomfortable and I didn't cry the first time I went to an open casket I didn't cry and a family member my aunt was like are you okay and I was like yeah and she's like why are you not getting emotional I'm like I just didn't really even like her that much

she was mean to me she hit me with spoons You know what I mean Wow Yeah but I don't like Looking at I was like That's hooray

For the fucking For the afterlife Do you guys have Do you have something Where you Do you look at fucking Do you guys look at the dad Uh

Yeah You do You will look at the dad It's not like mandatory But it's there And then the wake As far as Chinese Singaporeans go

The wake Which is very It's very Chinese, but not like, it's slightly different. Yeah. But the wake will be like, I think it's like three days and nights. You have to, someone has to be there. Day and night. Oh, really?

24 hours? Yeah. Someone takes a night shift. Is it like respect for the dead type of thing? Yeah, it's a respect thing. Wow. So the wake will be, yeah, someone will take the night shift. Or if you're hardcore

you just go the whole way that's really awesome sit around and yeah sit around and like semi relaxed like there's food and drinks

you don't have to all be you know but it's a respectful tradition yeah that's fucking wonderful my buddy died and they had Jimmy Johns at his funeral

and I was like this is kind of tight I'm not going to lie This is very cool Did he die of a heart attack? He worked at Jimmy Johns That's why they did that Yeah

Okay we don't have A ton of time left Which kind of sucks Thank God I know Trying to get out of this So I can't find it Yeah yeah yeah

But here's what I like to do At the end of these Because I know we had to go quick And we couldn't This I should I shouldn't make fun of the venue But we're not allowed To have any of this I couldn't, I shouldn't make fun of the venue, but we're not allowed to have any of this.

I couldn't pour any for myself for any of the whiskey listeners. It's illegal. Yeah, they can't. And I don't want to. Does anybody here have RSA license? There's a responsible service? Yeah, no. Smart serve.

Does anyone have a license? Smart serve. Can pour this? Yeah, that guy can pour it. It's the same guy who buys porn. Oh, no, sorry. Someone else. Sorry. That's the guy behind him. But I bet you that guy buys porn, too.

Have you ever bought porn, sir? That's a yeah. We all pay for it in one way or another, right? I mean, relationships have shattered. Okay, so we have a couple of minutes so I just want to do this raise your hand politely

if you want to ask a question to any of the panelists here if you want to say something we'll answer it don't yell out over people it's rude okay go ahead what do you got Justin Trudeau what is our opinion of him go he's hot but he's a little too hot for me. So, like, I think, I know there's controversy and stuff,

but that's actually, that'll take him down a few notches. And then maybe, like, after a divorce, I think we'll be ready for each other. Ronnie's ready to rap. His hat's sideways. He's ready. He's going to flow. Does anybody want to hear him flow?

What do you think about Justin Trudeau? Fast. What do you think? Fast? I don't think I have a,au? Fast. What do you think? Fast? I don't think I have a... I'm not Canadian. I don't have a right to comment on this. I'm only going to say it

because someone asked me about it. You're asking about it. I think he's probably the most... Yeah, he seems like a good guy by politician standards. He's probably the most progressive leader in the history of Canada. So if you're down with that

I mean that's that like I mean what we're just trying to decide like how progressive do you have to be in order to do blackface

right is that what like how much progress do you have to make in order to do and how many blackfaces

you can do how many black friends did he have which normally would be a hypothetical, but in this weird case, it's actually a real world thing you have to weigh up. Yeah, it is.

How much inclusion and liberal values do you have to fight for and actually achieve legislatively in order to do black friends? That's a question we all... Which is a class they teach here at Toronto University. Yeah, yeah. Who else?

Yes, right there. I don't know. I have no idea. That's a really tough question. Are you doing a special? I'm shooting a special. We're both shooting them in the next few weeks. Oh, for Comedy Central.

Mine's for Comedy Central. I'm shooting a Netflix special on Friday in Los Angeles. Wow. Where at? Alex Theatre in Glendale. Beautiful. Oh, okay. Thanks.

That's awesome. That's fucking going to be great. Oh, thanks, man. You're a very good comedian. And Esther, you're going to do one. I love you. I don't really know, to be honest with you. I'm just kind of taking my time and doing my thing.

I'm working with someone on making one our own way. And if you connect the dots, I think you know who it is so if you know me you'll know who I'm doing one with Shane Gillis that's right I'm a mad TV guy what do you say

yeah yeah me and Bobby I know people want to know we're working on it it's really difficult because he's unbelievably lazy it's very sad he's very sad he's video gaming right now I'm sure 24 hours a day

but we are we're working on it I promise do you have a name suggestion for us? because red and yellow is not going to work for him somebody named it red and yellow and it caught fire

and the internet was like it's awesome and I was like you don't like this right Bobby? he was like it's racist I was like yeah for Bobby to say that is right, Bobby? He was like, it's racist. I was like, yeah. For Bobby to say that is very funny.

You think about it. You send us some names. Who else? In the back, top up there. Is there a specific city for it? Is that a comic? Yeah. Yo, what's an easy city I can tour in and just fucking crush it in

where people are really nice. I don't really want to work at it. I know the answer. Bloomington, Indiana. The Comedy Attic is the best comedy club. Because the audiences are so well behaved. And they take their phones away. So it's really, really good.

There's a lot of really good ones. In America, the top one, Denver Comedy Works downtown. A lot of people say Comedy Attic. A lot of people say Comedy on State. There's a pretty good amount of them. They tend to be in the Midwest, oddly enough. I'll tell you where it's not.

Yeah, that's the easier question. Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Tough crowds. It sucks. Yeah, I don't know why. I'll tell you where it's not. Yeah, that's the easier question. Philadelphia. Yeah. That place. Tough crowds. It sucks. Yeah, tough crowds.

Really? Like tough crowds for some reason. The only place in America I had to throw someone out. Where else did I do? I had an interesting time in San Antonio. Do you guys know what San Antonio is? If you don't know what it is, it's... It's fucking American. Well, I don't know.

It's so American. Well, okay don't know. It's so American. Well, okay. How much do you know about Winnipeg? I know it's a place. I mean, do they know anything about San Antonio? Yeah, that's not what you said, though. You said, do you know what that is? You're right.

You're right. When you're right, you're right, Ronnie. It's got Americans. Hey, we're better than everybody San Antonio was an interesting group of people they were mean

they were very mean one or two more you right there in the middle Andrew you got some serious fans here they follow you and everything they're going to kill us after the show why? that's very good And then, okay, you. Damn, Andrew, you've got some serious fans here, man. They follow you and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why? Yeah, and they're going to kill us after the show.

Why? That's very good. Thanks for being on the show, Ronnie. What do you got, my friend? This guy's not serious about a question already. Have you been given or that you would give to, like, new stand-up? Best piece of advice I'd give to a new stand-up? Yeah, that you've ever gotten or that you've ever given.

I think there's a lot of convoluted answers, and the best one is write a lot and work hard and just keep getting up. I mean, there's really no secret. We all have extremely different paths. There is no answer. There really isn't. It's like, are you writing a lot of jokes

and you're getting up a ton? That's the only thing that you can do, literally, that you can. And also, you know, don't say racial epithets. That'll help you out. If you can, yeah. If you can, if you can try. If you that you can. And also, you know, don't say racial epithets. That'll help you out. If you can, yeah. If you can, if you can try. If you can, try.

Try your best. But yeah, work hard. Just get up as much as you can. You know what I mean? Maybe one more piece is don't focus on what other people are doing. That's a fucking,

that's a big deterrent at the beginning of your career. You're like, why has that person got that thing? Why do they get to do that? Just don't worry about it. Just fucking work super hard. You're a young comic?

Yeah. Well, not young. I don't mean age. I Just fucking work super hard. You're a young comic? Yeah. Well, not too young. I don't mean age. I mean in comedy. Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's how we talk about you. How old are you as a man?

What's that? 36. 36. Yeah, man. You got to start. Dude, so what? Fucking Dangerfield. People recognize him in his 50s.

You know what I mean? Like, that became kind of the blossoming part for him. I don't think that's going to happen to you, but I do think it could happen. All right. One or two more. One more. One more. You know what I mean? Like, that became kind of the blossoming part for him. I don't think that's going to happen to you, but I do think it could happen. All right, one or two more. One more, one more. Who's got one more?

Okay, how about that guy? That guy, you go. Yeah, you're the guy. What's the highest I've ever been? He only did it twice. Yeah. I done weed twice.

I done heroin once What's the highest Oddly enough they don't have punishment for that The horse is fine Baby The highest I've ever been We've all been to that point when you get too stoned And you're checking your heart rate

Looking in the mirror like I gotta get out of here And at some point you realize you're gonna be okay We've all had those. Where was it? My mom, at my parents' house. Yeah, yeah. I got so high

at my fucking parents' house. It was so unfortunate. I stayed there. I'd lock the door. My mom was like, are you okay? Are you okay in there? I was like,

I'm so sick. Psycho, it's the thing to think of. I hate to be that guy, but can we get one question from like a woman or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, another one. Yeah, you've had enough. No, I'm just joking. Go for it, yeah. Yeah.

Yes. That's exactly what it is Watch this How many people in here Are my best friend? See them? They're all right there Yeah That guy is

That girl is That guy is I think so But that's the whole point of podcasts Yeah We actually enjoy it It's to trick people into thinking They have an emotional connection

So they can buy tickets That's really what it is Yeah It's to emotionally manipulate them. Yeah, yeah. That's the whole... Yeah. And really give them nothing in return.

Absolutely, yeah. It's really wonderful. Yeah, no, I do love the connection. On a personal level, it's been like the coolest thing that's happened in my career and I'm being very genuine about it. Stand-up is a fucking super hard grind

and TV is a super fucking hard grind. Like all that stuff is kind of like sometimes rewarding to a degree and you're like, fuck, this is kind of hard. I don't really get to be me. Podcasts, you get to Like all that stuff is kind of like sometimes rewarding to a degree and you're like, fuck, this is kind of hard. I don't really get to be me. Podcasts, you get to be you and when people kind of embrace it,

I don't know, man. That's kind of the coolest part of comedy for me right now. So, yeah. I know that wasn't funny. Say something funny, Ronnie. You all suck. There it is.
