Aaron Chen Is Here and It's Hilarious | Whiskey Ginger

- For decades, a shadowy organization called The Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon-forward sodas, even lemon-forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth. ♪ All hail the lemon ♪ - That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7UP is fighting back with their new lime-lemon soda. Join the 7 uprising. Flip the sip. - This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast instead of doom scrolling?

Tomorrow night, I'm in Vegas, baby. Let's roll it, I'm Dyson. Come out and see your boy, andrewsantino.com. - In here, we pour whisky, whisky, whisky, whisky, whisky. - You are that creature in the ginger beard. - Sturdy and ginger. - Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse. - Gingers are beautiful. - You owe me $5 for the whisky and $75 for the horse. - Gingers are hell no. - This whisky is excellent. - Ginger, I like gingers. - I like gingers. - In America, these are union crews, and so these people are a little bit more gritty and a little bit more like-- - Right. - They kind of fuck you off a little bit. - Interesting. - Australia was very like, "Morning, Andre. "How are you, mate? "You good?" And I'm like, at like five in the morning, like when we do morning shoots-- - That's not bad. - They were so excited to see us. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Because they're happy about the work. - But also, because you're American, like any, like, you're a famous American, but any American is a superstar in Australia, you know? - I don't know about that. I just think they were, is that spilling everywhere? That's the funniest thing in the world. He opened up a can. - And it's going. It's really going. - He's such a fucking idiot, dude. - What's that drink? - It's a coffee. - That's a milky drink as well. - Coffee, yeah. - God damn, dude. It's like you never stop fucking up. You're so dumb. I love you. I yelled at him in front of someone at Gelson's. I go, "That's my son." I'm yelling at my son. - Interesting. - They do believe that you're my son. Anyway, back to us. You're annoying. God, McCone. - Are you on all the podcasts? - He is. - Yeah, nice. - He's doing well for us, and he should be fired. If you know anybody that could do it better. - Australians, they're very nice. - They're very nice. - Too nice. - They are too nice. Get us back. Get us back. No, they were very, they were happy to have us there, but they were also extremely peppy. And that is hard sometimes in the morning. - Yeah. - Because sometimes you're tired. You just kind of want to be left alone. But man, those Australian crews were just. - Maybe not just nice, but like, 'cause American crews are nice. But Australian crews are like, they're maybe very familiar. Very like, it's like down to earth. It's casual. - Yeah, I just think they want to make you happy. So they go above and beyond. And American crews are a little bit more gritty 'cause they're used to the work. So it's a little bit, it's just like clocking in, clocking out. - Yeah. Well, when my experience of Australian crews as an Australian actor in Australia is, they treat you like you're part of the crew. - Yeah. - Like, it's like at the start, they're very nice to you. A few weeks in there. And they're like, oh, you want that? You know? You want a water? - Get it yourself. - Like, the water's over there. - Yeah, yeah. - That's the vibe. But I feel like in America, they're always, they're tending to you. - They can be. They can be. Otherwise, or you're on a show for a couple years, you get used to everybody. And then they don't. - Yeah, right. - Then they don't want to talk to you. - They don't care about you anymore. - No, and they shouldn't. Actors are bullshit. Acting is bullshit. - Have you been on a long-term show? - The longest thing I ever did was three years. I did a show called Dave on FX with Little Dicky. That was three years, and that was the longest I've ever done. I did one year. - And they got sick of you. - They got really sick of me, yeah. FX called. They were like, enough of this bullshit. - Do you play pranks on the crew and stuff like that? Is that the vibe? - I'm always pranking. - You're pranking. - I'm always big pranker. I'm a huge pranker. - Jackass style. - Big jackass guy. I would just kick the director in the penis every day. That was my thing. - That's awesome. That's cool. - I slashed the executive producer's tires every other week. That was kind of a rad move. - That was funny as hell. - Yeah, that was very funny. - Everyone's laughing. - I lit one of the lead girl's trailer on fire. I lit the whole thing on fire, and her dog was in there. - Her dog was in there. - Yeah, the dog died. It was a big-- - You got her a new dog, though. - Yeah, we got her a new dog. That was part of the prank. Yeah. But we pranked her. We pretended that this was the same dog, so we got her. We got her ass so good. - Same dog prank. - Yeah, same dog prank. And that was kind of it. I mean, the only other thing I did was, oh, we-- - You did Beef. - What's that? You did Beef. That was a big prank show. - That's a Korean show. - That was a Korean show. - You've been on a Korean show before. Bobby knows. - I'm with a Korean man most days of my life. Yeah, yeah. He is kind of the king of the Koreans in America. - Yeah, he is. - For American-- - A lot of respect. - Entertainers, he's-- - He's the Korean. - Well, he's the-- - There's two styles. I think there's Bobby Lee style and Henry Cho style. - Well, Cho is respected. - Cho is respected. - Bobby's loved. There's two different. It's very different. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You can either be respected or loved. You can't-- - I'm the master style, you know? - Yeah. You can't be both. - Can't be both. - Which one are you? - I don't know. - Are you respected or loved? - Sometimes I feel a bit Cho. Sometimes I feel a bit Lee. - Ah, you like to touch both bases. - Yeah, yeah. - Good for you. - I haven't figured it out yet. I need to choose a master. - You can be your own master. - I'll try to be. - You should be. - Yeah. - You really should be because I think you're-- Are you a prankster? Start pranking. - I'm a little gentle. I'm very gentle pranking. - No, start pranking, dude. - Psychological style. - Yeah, really kind of ruin someone's psyche. - Yeah, yeah. - That's how you really get. - Overtime, they don't even know they're being pranked. - They have no idea. - They have no idea. - You just created a Truman Show world for somebody? You really diabolically shape-shift someone's reality? - That's what I'd like to do. - That'd be very fun. - And then you do a reveal. Camera there, there, there. - Cameras everywhere. - Yeah. - Kind of like Nathan Fielder. - Nathan for you. - He's very good at that. - Do you know him? - I met him one time. - Me too. We worked on a thing together. We didn't really speak much. He was a very interesting person. - Yeah. - What was your experience? - I did a set in Toronto at the Comedy Bar. Do you know this place? - I do. - Yeah, and he was just there. He was around. I said, "I'm a big fan of yours." I said, "I love a sketch about, maybe about blueberries or something like that." And he was like, "Which one?" And I froze. - Yeah. - I was like, "I didn't know there was more than one." - Just take the love. - Yeah. yeah yeah yeah just take the love and let's move on yeah yeah you don't well that's always psychological whenever you say to someone i'm a big fan it is interesting i'm gonna start doing that when someone goes hey man big fan i'm gonna go of what what do you what specifically are you a fan of yeah because that will really choke people up i actually really like it now when someone comes up to me and goes hey man i'm not a fan but my uh my buddy is can i get a picture i love that you love that oh it's so funny humble it's just funny when someone has the balls to be like hey man i don't really like you or know you but i'll take a picture with you for my friend i'm like that's so funny do you like when people come up and say hi yes as long as you're cool yeah yeah some people are rude and weird but if you're cool and you're like hey man what's up big fan that's fine some people are really um invasive if i'm at dinner with my wife it would be nice to not sure but people do i once saw you at a pizza shop me yeah i didn't say hi because it looked private wait why didn't you say hello you where was the pizza shop here in the state it was in los angeles where there's a slice shop somewhere maybe in a strip mall okay do you know what i'm talking about i do i know what you're saying yes yeah yeah late night late night you probably did a set somewhere you want to get a slice that is what i do but we'll i was with a group of friends it was a farce oh and you were like i'm not gonna yeah yeah he'll let you live and let live see that's why i respect you and i like you we didn't even know each other and i was like i really like him put him on the show i just could feel in my bones the problem that you saw me that was it yeah i actually the pizza shop owner who i know very well reported that to me he said you know aaron chen came in and he looked at you and decided not to bother you and i said i'm gonna have him on whiskey ginger that's amazing yeah that was yeah it pays it pays to not say hi never say hi don't say hi it pays off in the long run you'll be on a podcast where are you living now new york where in new york brooklyn brooklyn hut okay put the address right here please go say hello to him do you like brooklyn i love it because brooklyn what's interesting sydney is kind of the los angeles of australia and brooklyn is like the melbourne of australia that's what people say yeah or like new york in general is melbourne very melbourne yeah it's very like culturally that way but the thing is like i love new york and i would live in new york i wouldn't necessarily live in melbourne would you ever live here i would but for the weather i think for the weather the beaches yeah yeah yeah it's a lot like culture sydney i like driving yes you like driving love i like putting stuff in the you call it the boot or the trunk for you we'll call it the boot you call it the boot yeah for you for me but behind your back we call it a trunk but a trunk doesn't seem right because a trunk is the front of an elephant interesting so the boot is the feet the shoes well if you get the boot meaning you get kicked out you get kicked in the ass that's exactly this is the etymology of everything we'll go over it yeah do you know where the word jeans comes from no jeans sydney sweeney that's exactly right yeah so sydney's great-great-grandfather was a pretty notorious i mean i don't know if i could say it's slave owner right plantation owner yeah oh yeah this is all very true it's documented yeah it's written down and apparently he owned so much land and had so much extra resources and he owned textile factories he started making pants for people that had his bloodline his lineage he said so you can only wear these if you have my jeans interesting and that's where the word jeans comes from sydney sydney's great-great-grandfather that's crazy so it is linked that's very that's why that commercial i guess upset a few people and it shouldn't have i mean it was it's her family lineage it's nice it's very good what you don't know why it's called a trunk why is it called a trunk kind of a long rabbit hole but it comes from the latin truncus like a tree trunk cut off or mutilated is what it means and it would mean something that's hollowed out or like a trunk where you put stuff in that is actually very funny so it's a trunk a trunk truck an auto manufacturer has named it a trunk because people would put their trunks there you know you could have truncated that whole story yeah we didn't need that fucking dumb shit dude you're fired you spilled coffee you're fired you could have truncated that that's where trunk come from where does boot come from is actually more interesting why do they call it boot and bonnet boot in the bonnet bonnet bonnets the front right yeah i do love that i think that's a rad that's a really cool word a bonnet yeah because a bonnet goes on your head we call it the hood do you call it the hood well the hood is the top yeah yeah but the front the all of it's called the bonnet yeah the bottom we don't say bonnet though i don't even know we just call it the hood under the hood under the hood yeah what's under the hood what is the what's the boot come from boot comes from the term boot locker on carriages where drivers stored boots and personal items god that makes perfect sense but you guys don't say that no because we never stored our boots there and americans um they never took off their boots we never stopped working yeah so the rest of the world went to bed at night we don't we don't sleep never sleeps never sleep never stop and that's why we've been number one for a long time yes you know we're we're number one in everything name something we're number one swimming swimming that's number one yeah that's an easy one to start but i'm trying to think i'm trying to think of other stuff okay murder rate murder rate no one's better than us name name a place that has a better murder rate than us maybe like somalia nice try dude nice try you're out of your mind you're out of your mind you don't think so we're the best killers in the world you're good at killing we're number one i'm telling you we're number there is killing australia is not good at killing you guys are a little lax on killing yeah i do think once in a while someone will wield a pipe or a or a knife they'll do it we had a people we had one punch type things what a one punch knockouts yeah so sydney the whole of sydney there's new laws that just got like revoked but it meant you couldn't go into a bar after 12 a.m like that's the cutoff wait they would close at midnight yeah they would close at midnight and stuff but this was because like a string of people died because punching punched them in the back of their head don't do that because we don't have guns we have to punch yeah these are your guns these are the guns that's the most powerful these are the lord's guns this is this is a 22 but this is a 38 dude that's your jab yeah if i get a if you fucking get in there this one's a little bit weaker yeah yeah but i can't self-defense but that's to say hello i'll i'll jerk you off while i punch it you know just to like give you some love and then also the lemonati

character he is in it he is in it for lions this is one of the funniest movies of all time shut up 2010 political british political satire comedy big fan it's about like uh four terrorists who botch a botch a bombing oh that's so smart yeah four lions i have to watch this it's on prime love it's funny yeah four terrorists that botch a bombing do you write movies do you write tv or film i don't write i've tried to i can't hold you know like like i do like comedy bits which is so short yeah i can't hold a story more than like like i tried to write a feature film one time and i was like i'll write it i'll see how i go i got 10 pages and it was like done that's it huh that's not really a feature like they can't really stretch it out that much because i've heard they can stretch it out a bit but not from 10 not from 10 pages 10 to 90 is a big 80 pages is hard to find yeah like there's like techniques like slow-mo stuff like that but you can't hit it that much action lines don't take up 75 pages i don't think you could try i mean good luck i don't know maybe i'll get someone to punch it up the script for eraser head was only 22 pages long eraser head was 22 pages 12 more pages you're on your way i haven't even seen it but i gotta see it you gotta watch it you can tell it's 22 pages yeah it really shows itself because you could film other stuff while you're there like you see a nice like yeah do you write movies i have more tv stuff than film yeah an episode kind of feels like okay you know yeah yeah an episode's enough because there's like a b or plot lines and stuff like that beginning middle end it's really easy to wrap up in 35 pages really hard to do feature films tough i give credit for people that do that i can't uh yeah not for me we've tried we've got a couple we've done a few we've written a few of them but they're really bad we won't we wrote you did it that's an achievement i did it yeah i've done it that's amazing yeah but i'm 42 by now i should have done a few more 90 pages or more no the comedy is usually 60 to 80 like really 80 is kind of the max for comedy that you want i didn't know you could do i didn't know 60 was i thought you had to hit 90 no you do but also comedy is gonna always get it's gonna inflate as time goes on you're riffing yeah you're riffing and you're also rewrites are gonna grow it naturally into a new adding shit and taking a but i mean there's no right way to do it i mean tarantino wrote scripts that were like obnoxiously long like never endingly long and then would whittle it down to nothing yeah and we're basically the modern tarantino we are you and i yeah well you see the 10 pages i wrote is send them to me i really want to see them please send them my way i'll see i'll see do you miss home or no do i miss home sometimes i miss home i miss more people than the actual place like mom and dad yeah family and friends and stuff like that the scene i watched the clip it was like a comedian that i didn't even like really hang out with or watch their stuff that much but from australia and i was like damn i'm i miss this place you miss that thing you miss just like seeing that type of comedy all the time right because it's a style you know what you're used to yeah yeah like your style you're it's like you you're saying like me like i'm one part of it maybe you're a big part of it thanks

Ginger, I like gingers. You don't like sand and wet? What or why do I like sand? Sand, sand is, it's not awesome. It gets everywhere. The beach is nice, like the salty water. I like sitting at a restaurant, having lunch or a cocktail, looking at the ocean. The West Coast is perfect for being a beach guy. Is it though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen this? What? I have sunscreen on now, inside, right now. I wear it every day of my life. This is the best. This is the best. This is bright lights though, you know. Well, these are hurt a little bit. These, yeah, I put on SPF 20 for these. They captured the sun with these. Yeah, they've done a great job. This is technology at its finest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't be a beach guy, man. You can't be, yeah. There's no, you're a beach guy? Not a beach guy, but like, we went to San Diego just then and we went to the beach like two times. Where'd you go, La Jolla? Went to La Jolla one time and then we drove up, we went to Laguna Beach. That's Orange County, yeah, that's nice too. That's Orange County. Very nice, that's fancy. Fancy. And you went there because you were a big Republican. That's why I know you went there. That's a Republican, yeah, yeah. Laguna's like MAGA heaven, right? All Orange County. But Laguna specifically is like MAGA, isn't that right? That's what I've heard. We went to watch the Melania dock there. You had to go there for the dock? Yeah, for the dock. It wouldn't be fun watching it in like the Grove, you know? Some bullshit liberal hub. No, you gotta go where it starts, baby. To Laguna, sorry. Yeah, Orange County does have They think we're all, we're liberal losers, Orange County. And we don't care about Orange County at all. That was a big show in Australia. Orange County. The OC. Yeah. Was that big here? Huge, I think, right? It was big everywhere. Was it? A little before my time. For the age range, it was big. How old are you? 26. Okay. He's a baby boy. Very baby boy. I did watch Wilfred though. Wilfred, Australian show. Dog Man. Dog Man. Dog Man. Suicide. That's, what's his name? Who's the actor? I forget the guy's name. Well, I can't think of that guy's name. But he was in both. I don't have it either. He was in both the American and the Australian version. Yeah, I know. What is his name? Why can't I think of that guy's name? It's done very well. Ooh, that's annoying. I never watched it. Did you watch it? Jason Gann. Gann. Jason Gann. Shout out to Jason Gann. Sorry, Jason. Shout out. Who's your favorite Australian star? Star? Musician? Actor? Performer? Anything. Anybody from your country. Great question. Yeah. Disregarding sports. You can't regard sport. But I think what Jacob Elordi is doing, that's kind of, he's doing nice with it. Like, he's kind of keeping it low key as well, you know? Like, he's not doing, like, everything. Right. He's kind of. He does what he wants to do. Yeah. He's almost like, he's getting close to the resume of, like, a Daniel Day. Lewis type. Yeah. Where you kind of pick and choose. You get a little, you know, you're allowed to be a little bit more picky now. You get the respect. You've done, like, the. Young Daniel Day. Young D.D. Young D.D. Young D.D. Young D.D. D-Day. D-Day. Whoa. Tough time. Don't bring that up, dude. That'll. You get my grandpa coming out of me now, man. Don't do that, okay? That's insanely offensive. He is probably the greatest. He's probably one of the greatest exports you guys have ever pushed out. There's a lot, though. Other than Aaron Chen. We got a lot. Yeah. Name them. Eric Banner. Fine. Banner's fine. Russell Crowe. Crowe could be New Zealand. He's New Zealand. Yeah, yeah. Margot? Margot Robbie is interesting because we don't. We love her. You love her, yeah. But we don't respect her. You don't respect. Maybe same with the Hemsworths. Sarah Snook. Sarah Snook. We love Snook. She's the best. Naomi Watts. Fine. Take it or leave it. Nicole Kidman. Again. That's another one I can take or leave. AMC. Anybody that was married to Tom Cruise. She's Mrs. AMC. Yeah. Heath Ledger. Rest in peace, dog. Tony Collette. Keith Urban. Keith Urban. Can you guys take that one back? You mind taking that one back? Isn't that funny with Nicole Kidman? Anybody that was married to Tom Cruise goes down on a notch for me. Like Katie Holmes. Katie Holmes. Loved her when I was a kid. Yeah. And then when I found out she married that guy, I go, well, I don't want to watch her films anymore. Why is that? Because he's got a very. about him. Yeah, he's like. It gives me the yucky creepies. It is the yucky creepies, but it's exciting as well. Well, no, it's fun to watch. I'm going to watch his stuff, but if I know you married him, almost like. You get a cake if you're in his orbit. I got a cake. You got a cake? Yeah. Nice. No, I've never gotten a Tom Cruise cake. Imagine that. The coconut cake? Yeah, the coconut cake. We know all about the coconut cake from. Where is it? From Brentwood or something? Yeah. Yeah. From Brentwood. Yeah, I just feel like. You know how when you were young. Okay, when you were in high school and there was. There was a girl maybe you had a crush on. Okay. And then whomever she hung out with or hooked up with or whatever guy she would end up dating, if you didn't like that guy, it grossed you out about the girl. You're like, you dated that guy? Yeah, right. I thought you were so cool. That guy stinks. That's how I feel about everyone that goes down that path. Yeah. I thought you were rad. How did you lose it? What slipped? Or what do you know that I need to know? But don't you find that with almost. Everyone in your high school, you know? You look back and you're like. Yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah. What are they doing now? Like, they used to be like so cool to me. A lot of cool people. Were you cool in high school? I wasn't cool. I was just regular. Like, I wasn't uncool or funny. Funny? I started comedy at 15. What would people say that. Okay, now. Mm-hmm. What are you now? 12 years later out of high school? 15 years later. 15 years later. Yeah. 15 years later, what do they say? They say, oh, Aaron Chen, you know what about that guy? What? What would they say about you? Racist. They would say racist, yeah. And that's a good. Well, you gotta stay strong, brother. Gotta stay strong. What would they say? They'd say. I don't know. He was. In high school, Aaron was. I would. That's a great question. I was like. Cool, funny, smart. They wouldn't say cool. Sexy. Yeah, sexy. You won very sexy. Strong. Strong, very strong. Very strong. Right. That's what people would say about me. Yeah, sexy and very strong. Sexy and strong. Yeah. Those are the only two qualities they would describe. Yes. Sexy and strong. Ooh, Aaron Chen? Yeah, sexy strong guy? Sexy strong guy. That can be your next. He's a comedian now? Really? I would have thought he would be into. Like a bodybuilder model. Bodybuilder model, yeah. Can you make your next special called Sexy Strong Guy? Sexy strong guy, yeah. I would fucking love that. Dude, that would be so fun. Aaron Chen, sexy strong guy. I'd do a topless. You have to. Yeah. Well, Burt might sue you. Yeah, he might sue you. That's his. No one's allowed to do it anymore. He's copywritten it, yeah. He's being topless. Yeah, being topless on stage. He calls Playboy, he's like, actually, that's mine. I like what you guys are doing, but I am going to do a cease and desist. But bottomless could be your thing. Bottomless Aaron Chen. Sexy strong guy, bottomless Aaron Chen, live. You know, live from the Paramount Theater. Bottomless brunch. Bottomless brunch. That's good. And you have a thing that says, eat it up, right over your penis. And then on your back it says, can I get you a refill? The refill's from my ass. That's crazy. That's crazy. But that's part of the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enjoy the show. Yes. It's the hits. You're running around the country now, too. You're on tour. That's why you just came back from Louisville, huh? Yes. And you're here. Are you doing shows here? I did one in Ontario. Ontario Improv? You did that? I've done it once. Yeah, nice. Is it one time? The Ontario Improv. You do like a Friday, Saturday, Sunday? Just did the Sunday, because I did Friday, Saturday, San Diego. Oh, that's right. Where was San Diego for you? What would you perform in San Diego? American comedy. Okay, okay, right on. Have you ever done the La Jolla Comedy Store? No, but I hear it's amazing. We'd like you there. We would like you there. We would. Yeah, because I'm a comedy store guy. That's my home. I started at the comedy store. So we would go down there, and we would pick who we wanted. And it was mostly sexy, strong guys. And we would like you. We'd like you down there. There's a lot of sexy, strong comics in this very scene. 100%. Yeah. 100%. This is the sexy, strong scene. Austin is the strong guys. Not sexy, though. Not sexy. We're sexy and strong. Austin's just strong. And New York, neither. New York is cool and smart. There's some sexy. No, it's cool and smart. Cool and smart. New York's cool and smart. We're strong and sexy. Austin is strong and scary. Strong and scary. Strong, scary. Weapons. Weapons, I would say. Yeah. By the way, the scene in Melbourne, loved. I went to that club. I went to the club. Which club? club i went to the uh there's um i'm so embarrassed i just can't remember the name uh it's in comics lounge comics lounge in the cbd yeah that's good i performed there a couple of times it was great uh-huh because i was i was i was there when i was shooting the movie and i said to my agent i kind of don't want to sit on my ass anymore i feel like i really want to do a spot and he was like let's he's like let's call the club and see if and i said yeah i'll just pop in on a whatever random show and uh they were super generous and nice and we just put up a couple of shows and just and the other australian comics were awesome were they very excited to see you yes yeah yeah should they not have been no it's interesting maybe the cultures changed a little bit but like i remember back maybe in 2014 or something louis went down to the comics lounge in melbourne and he was like this is the only place in the world where like they didn't know who i was well 2014. he was big though i know but i think more the the the comedy culture is so much more globalized because of the internet especially post-covid so i would think that helped me tremendously yeah because our we have a huge fan base in australia we played um sydney melbourne perth adelaide brisbane uh we didn't do auckland we didn't do new zealand right we did do oh we did we did because i went there separately without but every city showed up yeah and it was fucking crazy sydney was probably the craziest sydney's the best what do we play in sydney what was it called i don't one of the shows it was the boner palace i think we played the boner palace in sydney was it a big theater yes state theater and more theater i have to look it up yeah i gotta look it up only because i'm very curious those are great theaters okay so here australia uh sydney s-y-d how do you spell sydney sydney sydney sweeney sydney sweeney great genes we did the the icc theater that's a big theater that's that's not i would even call that not even a theater why why is that that's they call that a super theater is that a super theater icc theater aka a small small arena like that's like six seven thousand seats i think it was ten thousand ten apologies yeah watch your fucking mouth it was about seven ten was in london oh london was bigger right london so london was our biggest at the time seven thousand seats that's a big big uh theater more than the state population of nevada when it was ratified in the 1800s tell it what um why do they call it a trunk got you burned his ass dude got his ass hard what's the biggest crowd you perform for in my lifetime yeah in any context well not in a parallel life in this one right now give me this one right now one time i i opened for ronnie in um ronnie chang in yeah in washington dc at like friends of something at fran it was at the the daughters of the revolution daughters of the revolution that's where we played yeah that's a big one that's where eddie murphy did delirious you know that's crazy yeah you played there it's massive yeah yeah i don't even remember how many that is that's got to be six maybe five or seven i think yeah that's the biggest so six seven six seven don't do it don't it's very funny to me it is funny to him it'd be hilarious it's hysterical yeah so because i'm older it's not that funny it's not that for you it's pretty funny a little bit for him it's insanely funny but then below him it's angering oh yeah they get pissed young people get very yeah yeah dark constitution is 3702 4 000 making the largest concert hall in the city it's a lot of people okay it's a lot of humans yeah yeah it's a lot of people but you're new you're doing a club run i'm doing a lot of clubs yes when you did club runs i still do them still do them yeah why not yeah did you ever do meet and greets interesting yeah i would sometimes it depended on the city and the venue so once i played it once i learned whether or not it was uh uh a good city for it or easy to do is like some some places aren't outfitted for it and you're like this is weird and it feels strange and talk but yeah i would do it i i used to do it but it's a good thing to do right it's very nice i've never done one you should do you should do well what's what tell me the the pros and cons the pros are you are greeting the people who support you so you're supporting the people to support you yeah it's beautiful the cons are you're already tired it's hard to do more work after you already did the job yeah sometimes a second show that's what i mean so it's almost like the boss is like you're already tired you're already tired you're already like can you stay late and you're like i've been working all day yeah i'm like just stay late and say hi to my entire family will you so it's a little it's a little taxing i think people don't know that or care uh but the pros to me are this and i'll be genuine this is no joke these are the people that are helping you continue your life yeah they're paying your rent they're helping you live and come and fulfill your dreams so the fans you got to show them as much love as you can it's hard to do meet and greets because you're like i'm my 15th city and i'm exhausted And I just want to go back to the hotel and jerk off and watch bad TV. And that's all you're thinking about while you're talking to the fans. Yeah. I'm jerking off. Hello. Hi, nice to see you. Hi, I'm jerking off to reality television. Oh, you're already in the future. I'm jerking off in my mind while I'm meeting the fans. That's unbelievable. Thinking about reality television. You can hold a lot in your mind. It's two, no, it's split hemisphere. This one is I'm jerking off in the hotel. This one is hey. And this one is hi. Thank you for all you've done for me. I don't even know if I get that. It's just hi. Hi. So hi. And then it's kind of, it's a balance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but these people are supporting you. We don't have that culture in Australia. To say hello? Yeah, there's no real meet and greets. There's kind of this thing in Australia. It's called tall poppy syndrome. Yeah, I know tall poppies. Yeah, they talk about it a lot, actually. They talk about it a lot. So there's kind of a vibe. It's like, oh, you're doing a meet and greet. You think you're special. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But here it's like, no, it's like they're not, I think I'm special. It's like, thank you for coming out. Just be gracious for someone who's supportive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's thanking the fans. Yeah, it's beautiful. If you can do it, it's cool. We did it on our tour. We did all of them, every city. But it's really difficult to do, timing-wise, and especially if you've got multiple shows and you're like, I just want to go home, man. I'm very, it's a long travel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. And there's always miscommunication with when it is, and people showed up early or late, and there's always. The hardest thing is that people pay for it and they didn't show up for it because they thought it was post-show, but it was pre-show, and then they get fucking mad, and they yell at someone at the venue, and then they're like, we didn't know. We drove all the way here from da-da-da-da-da, and you're like, okay, okay, well, man. A lot of that was venues, though. Venues were sent out. That was the venues. Oh, people pay for the meet-and-greets? So for Bobby and I's, for when we did them, they did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At the theaters. At theaters, yes. Yeah, yeah, then you whittle it down. It had to be capped at $100. Nice. But I did say this. On the next time I do tour, I'm going to do meet-and-greets, because what I figured, this is a smart move, I'm going to overcharge like crazy for the meet-and-greets. I could say it's like $1,000, right? Great. I'm going to give all that money to charity, so then if you're Mr. Rich Show-Off guy, and you want to be a big shot, and you think you can afford it, it's great, but it'll limit the amount of people that want to do that, and then the money will go to a charity of my choice. So then I don't. So it's like when someone's like, oh, you're charging $1,000, it doesn't go to me. It goes to the sick kids. Yeah. And do you hate them? And do you hate sick children? Yeah, yeah. Well, you're a bad person. That's a perfect plan. It's kind of a good little diabolical plan. You're good at plans. It's going to be, yeah, actually, but all the money is going to go. It's going to go to Fund Ice. It's going to be an ice. It's called the Ice Chest, is the charity that I'm supporting. The Ice Chest. Yeah. The Ice Factory. The Ice Factory. The Ice House. The Ice House. The Ice House, yeah. We'll do it at the Ice House in Pasadena. Boy, do they need to change their fucking name, dude. Shit, dude, the poor ice. Did you watch the Grammys last night? A lot of ice talk on there. A lot of ice talk? Yeah, a lot of fuck ice. Yeah, a lot of pro ice. A lot of pro ice. It was mostly. Thank you for your work. Yeah. A lot of the ices, a lot of the. No, I think almost every artist that said something said something about fuck ice. Oh, yeah. Especially, Billie Eilish was the one that I saw. I got home last night from driving up. I drove up from San Diego last night. Did you? I like to go where you just were. Yeah, Louisville, San Diego. Yeah, I like to follow the Chen. Yeah, I follow the Chen. In here, we pour whiskey.

being over i guess and you know what does that mean we've been talking for 85 seconds at least but that the scope of time i think 85 seconds till midnight means on the scale of the time of the earth that's right we're so close we're pretty close to being the end and honestly i think it's a celebration yeah we don't know what's going on we don't know what's going on we don't know what's going on we don't know what's going on we don't know what's going on we don't deserve this to last forever yeah how about all the time we did have so much we had a full day it was pretty good yeah yeah i just think we can't get greedy like imagine if you ate a piece of cake and they never stopped bringing cake it's like come on man at some point you got to run out of cake yeah and we're running out of cake yeah it's coming to a close have another speaking of cake yeah aaron's got a great bbl he got a brazilian butt lift a couple weeks ago yes do you care to talk about that was the reinvasive or how was that not invasive at all really they i don't even know how bbl works you know it's an injection no no it's not it can't be implants implants they literally implant that kind of cultures over a little bit don't you think brother we're bringing it back you're bringing back i am single-handedly i'm bbl in my way around that's why you're sitting kind of high up that chair it's my tits it's my butt

know i want a nice thing to deserve yeah we deserve it i think it it'd be very painful it'd be well what you couldn't you'd have to sit on that donut for a little while fine i've had hemorrhoids before you know it'd be painful as all the men i'd have to turn away that'd be painful sorry boys i'm taken that would be as you bounce down the street this is my cheeks like a cartoon from fucking snapping back and forth did you guys watch cartoons as kids did you have cartoons in australia we had very primitive drawings we had like it's all stick figures yeah did you get american cartoons for sure yeah we had uh it it depended on the kind of vibe but we got a lot of anime as well so do you like anime when i was a kid yeah i like pokemon and like yeah that's kind of that kind of thing but we had hey arnold oh you did we had hey arnold what other cartoons are you simpsons yeah that's a night time spongebob spongebob was that big in australia big big everywhere yeah i guess that's like frasier levels i don't know if sponge is bigger than frasier spongebob would like to think he's bigger than frasier way bigger than frasier frasier is king brother scrambled eggs what a gross scrambled eggs is such a gross visual too it's a gross thing to scrambled eggs although i like them visually gross there's a handful of foods that are visually disgusting but they're so good they didn't even really try with scrambled eggs no it's mashing it all mash slop mash slop fluff yeah that's what we call it in my house mash slop flop it's a metaphor for the mixed up mental emotional problems that the callers have yeah i'm aware of what what when i say like my brain is scrambled eggs right now i'm very aware of what it is the idea that we moved on to was the food's visual versus its taste but thank you for ruining what's another food that you eat that you know looks gross but tastes amazing looks gross tastes amazing big fan of yogurt and it's just gross you think that looks gross it's i'm gonna be crass but anything jizzy it's creamy anything jizzy creamy is yeah interesting oh you like that i don't mind yogurt i like it bone marrow bone marrow so good you like eating it oh yeah it's delicious it's delicious you're not a vegemite guy i like i like vegemite why do you guys lie what do you mean you guys all say you like it you don't none of you like it it's it's it is a very culturally strange thing because you guys all do this all the people i've met that i'm friends with that are australians they go no i like it i'm like but you don't because you don't own it or buy it you have a jar somewhere but you don't consume it really so you don't like it that's it's it's this weird cultural lie i think is if it's there i'll have it if it's there i will have it when's the last time you had it a long time ago you don't like it but i'm living here now this is not vegemite city it's all over the place you can go buy it and go buy i'll go get it for you right now we sell it here i'll eat it yeah but you don't want it yeah but i like it i do like it i love it it's my favorite food i'll never eat it this is what's funny it's this is like what this is to you to americans is like our staunchness about our constitution where we're like well we like you have to defend it even though you're like well it's pretty fucking ridiculous it's all we have that's what I mean as a food this is the same way that Americans are where we're like no we but you guys are the best at everything thank you you heard it here first from Aaron Chen you better fucking best country best country getting better every day best countries because we own everything we're owning Greenland now who else are we buying Venezuela aren't we buying Venezuela you got it we're gonna keep buying more we're gonna keep consuming and buying more it's awesome to buy a country huh pretty rad pretty rock and roll they never do that well you guys did do it didn't you buy Alaska Alaska I feel like we didn't buy it was it was a trade it was an ice trade it was an ice trade yeah we famously purchased Louisiana territory yeah we bought Louisiana Louisiana purchase California California was Mexico was was a well everything in the southwest was okay and we didn't buy it we came over and we said we want this we like it yeah it's nice we like Hollywood we love the movies and they said no and because Hollywood was run by Mexicans it was a Mexican yeah the Mexican mafia uh-huh but we took it you took it yeah yeah we took it and we're gonna own it forever it's ours and no one else gets it America first Australia third who's second Taiwan Taiwan Taiwan Taiwan's always been second in my heart where are your parents from? China China Shanghai Shanghai yeah Shanghai my dad my mother's family's from Fujian Fujian I love Fujian do you? Fujian Fujian that was very delicate Fujian well that's how you have it Chinese yeah yeah the four sounds yeah you have to the four little sounds you're a master of it I'm learning very good give me a give me a phrase let me see if I can I can recite it back oh like a you want me to say something in Chinese? that's right what should I say? well this is for you man 你好 我是 Andrew 你好 我是 Andrew that's really good and you hit it on the Andrew as well Andrew Andrew 你好 你好 你好 你好 yeah 我是 我是 我是 你好 see the only reason i'm able to do that well is because i can imitate accents very well yeah if it wasn't for that it'd be hard to learn a second language do you learn any korean that's really good you've been learning on the fly in the wild at korean restaurants bobby's mom will when they speak korean in front of us i'll i'll i'll try to pick up you'll join in but he doesn't speak korean well he's very he's very shit at korean yeah and you can tell you don't even speak it you can i can tell he's bad because she gets annoyed with him when he's not speaking properly in korean yeah she gets very upset yes uh i think steve knows more korean than bobby i think his brother actually is more attuned to it but bobby just rejects it because of this like um because as a you would know nothing about this but as an asian yes growing up in a neighborhood with all white people all white who make you feel bad about your history he didn't want to be korean he didn't want to he didn't want to soak up all this korean heritage because he was because all of his friends were white san diego punks did you grow up in a white neighborhood kind of but i feel like that was more i went to a middle school high school it's all combined it's called high school in australia middle school and high school are one so you're so you're 17 going to school with a 12 year old yeah that's fucking insane i like i never understood that these people should be broken up yeah those are children and then young adults yeah it's 12 to 18 i guess why would an 18 year old be near a 12 year old in the same school they not good you're asking me like i decided that are you did you decide it did you vote on it i would vote to keep it going okay if i could vote middle school and high school are just called high school that's and prior to middle school it's called what elementary or do you call it we call it primary school primary school primary primary yeah it's not primary it's primary primary it's very british see that's the british influence yeah yeah fucking scumbag that's the one thing we share we hate brits yeah yeah okay i'll do it yeah i hate the brits dude who do they think they are dude no we actually really enjoy the brits no you you don't like them no we owned them we own their ass the irish really they don't like it on another level my people don't like it people have a different problem with them yeah yeah we don't like them they were bullies they were mean they were meanie weenies to us that's what we say in ireland meanie weenies yeah that's what we call the brits that's your irish accent that just sounds more australian down there's a bunch of meanie weenies you know them those guys many when he's that sounds more bogan many weenies that's really good yeah not bad right that's really good i can tap in okay tap in i can tap in pretty good what's the difference in your mind between like western australian accents and east coast accents that's not where the separation lies because it's class-based it's all yeah i guess yeah you would say maybe it's class-based it's a bit like um there's like a in sydney there's like a western sydney accent yes that's a beautiful accent do you know nick kyrgios the tennis player yeah i love kyrgios he kind of he's not from there but he kind of has it that's probably the closest worldwide example and you're east you're you're east sydney i'm from i'm from like very far north in sydney like almost all the way up to central coast okay the central coast beautiful place up there yeah but western sydney that's good because they have like all the like asian people lebanese people like islander people matched as one matched as one that's smart and the perth people beautiful well the perth people very nice by the way underrated underrated underrated perth it's a good city no it's fucking awesome what'd you say i said very underrated it was crazy underrated you went down as well we all he did and people were like people were asking us they're like you're gonna go to perth and we're like yeah and like it's so far away that's good yeah that's rad that was the finale yeah that's where we ended we had so much fun that's the west coast loved it i actually really enjoyed it i'm not gonna lie i think they got i think shout out perth they don't get enough love they really don't i think they got a lot of love i think they got a lot of love i think they shout out perth shout out perth and no shout out to what's the worst city you went to memphis yeah memphis yeah memphis tennessee yeah tough tough place yeah tough place tough vibe yes tough vibe because i like tennessee as a state like knoxville like nashville why is memphis tough elvis came from there i guess he's a tough guy tough guy tough guy could never stand up to his manager that's exactly right elvis would have loved your guys's school system yeah yeah he was a big fan interesting yeah yeah yeah yeah i think when he got married his daughter was four i think right isn't that right she was four when he when he he married a four-year-old he married a four-year-old yep are you serious that's what jailhouse rock is about she was four i'm gonna go to the jailhouse rock no she wasn't four she was an adult i actually no that's not true right when she's 16 he was she was 14 when he met her and he was like 20 like 40 or something yeah but he had no kendrick lamar you know there was no guy yeah right couldn't yeah he couldn't get draked yeah yeah yeah so he just cruised that's like that's like munson he couldn't get draked man couldn't get draked man yeah elvis wasn't a very it's funny because he is regarded by a generation above a mine of like this like godlike creature and then but there's so much elvis for us now there's like three movies about elvis but as we exposed him over time we're like this guy was terrible yeah this is terrible on like a million levels and one of the elvis movie stars australia's own jacob lordy there you go i'll tell you what when we went and toured graceland the woman who toured us around was like mind blown that people he
