• 0:00Drew Afualo?

  I have an itis where like, white people, I have a very hard time distinguishing them from each other.

• 0:07Speaker 01

  Right, right. You're like my grandma. So, my grandma has known Ryan, my husband, for 10 years. My husband is white, but I could be showing her a picture of like Harry Styles or something, and she will still think it's Ryan.

• 0:28Drew Afualo?

  Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comment Section Show, starring me, your fave, everybody knows me, who cares about me. Onto the guest today, we have another icon, icon, legend, hilarious, all-star, Atsuko!

• 0:44Speaker 01

  Drew, what a blessing to be back.

• 0:46Drew Afualo?

  Oh, my god, I'm so glad to have you.

• 0:48Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh, and of course you matter. I know you're always like, "Oh, who cares, it's me." And it's like, bitch, I do because I drove here.

• 0:57Drew Afualo?

  That means a lot to me, thank you. I'm so happy to have you back. You're one of my favorite people to have on the show.

• 1:01Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh, you're so fun.

• 1:03Drew Afualo?

  This episode is presented by Sephora. So, what are you getting your mom this Mother's Day? It's hard to find something that says, "Hey, Mom, I think you're amazing, and thank you for everything," right? Because flowers that turn up wilted, or a home appliance that feels too practical, just won't cut it. The solution is simple. A beauty gift from Sephora is more personal and lets mom know she is loved and celebrated. With gorgeous Mother's Day gift sets filled with skincare, fragrance, makeup, or hair products, Sephora makes it easy to find the perfect gift for her. Shop Mother's Day gifts at Sephora. I do want to bring this up too, because I don't think I've ever told this to you, but the first time we filmed together, I think we were sitting in the chairs for only like a couple minutes, and then you were like,

• 1:47Drew Afualo?

  "It's been really sad in the air lately, hasn't it?" Just randomly to me, and you had no way of knowing this, but I had a really rough morning that morning.

• 1:55Speaker 01

  Is that right?

• 1:56Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that was the morning I found out my grandpa had cancer.

• 1:58Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:59Drew Afualo?

  And you said that, and I was like, "It has been a really rough morning, yeah, it's been really sad." And then you were like, "Yeah," and you brought up your grandma to me. And then we started talking about your grandma, and then I started talking to you about my grandpa, then we got started. And then we were silly and funny for an hour, but I really, I wanted to-

• 2:15Speaker 01

  The things we have to go through to entertain. Both of our grandparents going through shit.

• 2:19Drew Afualo?

  I know.

• 2:20Speaker 01

  And then I have to be like, "Three, two, one, hi, we're back on the comment."

• 2:24Drew Afualo?

  Pee pee poo poo out my butt.

• 2:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, my nose is bleeding.

• 2:29Drew Afualo?

  No, for real.

• 2:30Speaker 01

  Sister, sister.

• 2:32Drew Afualo?

  But I literally wanted to tell you that when you came back because it really, truly, it helped me a lot. When you brought that up and we, we talked about but didn't, because I didn't tell you about my grandpa at all. As far as like, because I was still processing it that day. But like, spending that time with you after was like a lot. It was great for me. And it really made me feel better. So I had to tell you. I keep forgetting to tell you every time I've seen you.

• 2:52Speaker 01

  Yes, and I had no idea. I mean, I always think about, you know, having to host a podcast, being the host.

• 2:58Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 2:58Speaker 01

  Asking other people questions. I don't know if I could do it. It's, you know what I mean? You're truly like a therapist to other people. And so, I mean, it's wild that I, you know, to not have known that that's what you were going through.

• 3:10Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, exactly. That's why I said we spiritually connected at that point.

• 3:13Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 3:14Drew Afualo?

  And I haven't, I just haven't got a chance to tell you. I've seen you a million times since then and I just haven't got a chance to tell you.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 3:19Drew Afualo?

  Figured on camera with the lights was the best time to do it.

• 3:22Speaker 01

  That's an intense, intense, yeah, intense morning. I'm, I'm so sorry about that. And I know he's still going through it, but.

• 3:27Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, he's in, he's in remission right now. So that's the wonderful part.

• 3:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 3:31Drew Afualo?

  So we're working, we're working through it, we're working past it, but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated you that day because it really brought a lot of joy to me and I needed it that day.

• 3:39Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 3:39Drew Afualo?

  And you sensed it about me without even knowing. Spiritual connection.

• 3:43Speaker 01

  I, you know what's wild? I don't know if I remember even saying that. Because what if nothing was wrong and you're like, what do you mean, sad energy? Reading me like that?

• 3:55Drew Afualo?

  And I, I distinctly remember because I was like, that's crazy that you said that. Like, it was just so like, it was so, it felt so like fate.

• 4:04Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 4:05Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, spiritual connection.

• 4:06Speaker 01

  Spiritual connection.

• 4:06Drew Afualo?

  And that means a lot to me. I listen to the universe when it talks to me. Felt like the universe was talking me through you that day.

• 4:11Speaker 01

  I feel like a lot of people probably feel like they have a spiritual connection with you, but I, you know, I went home that day and I was like, to my husband, I was like, I mean, I feel like we're friends. We're friends, right? I mean, I have to be careful because I sometimes I call people, I'm like, this is my best friend. And then I'll find out that, you know, I didn't run it by them.

• 4:33Drew Afualo?

  Right.

• 4:33Speaker 01

  And then I'll hear them in an interview call someone else their best friend. And I'm like, oh, right.

• 4:37Drew Afualo?

  Oh, oh.

• 4:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's true. We only met like once. I just got carried away.

• 4:42Drew Afualo?

  You're just so emotionally connective.

• 4:44Speaker 01

  A lot of people were saying sometimes that they couldn't tell our voices apart even at one point during the, I read the comments. I was in the comments and they're like, oh my God, such like a sisterly bonds.

• 4:56Drew Afualo?

  Exactly.

• 4:56Speaker 01

  They kind of sound even similar is kind of the note that, you know, I saw, we got.

• 5:03Drew Afualo?

  I did see that note too.

• 5:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 5:04Drew Afualo?

  Well, also, speaking of your husband, when we were both at a game night.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  Right.

• 5:09Drew Afualo?

  Um, a while ago, like he came up to me and was like, hey, I just want to say like, um, I loved your episode with Otsco. Like, I'm Otsco's husband. And I was like, oh, so nice to meet you. And he was like, she loves you, but I love you. And just like, thank you for being so wonderful. Like, that was, I thought the episode was great. And I was like, that's so sweet. Thank you.

• 5:27Speaker 01

  I've just been plotting ways to, yeah, reconnect, whether it's like, you know, this shoe.

• 5:32Drew Afualo?

  Yes. Let's talk about the shoe. Tell me about the shoe.

• 5:36Speaker 01

  I'm like the, the face of bringing back one of Uggs. Apparently it's so it's Uggs without an S.

• 5:42Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 5:42Speaker 01

  We all call it Uggs, but they're like, it's Uggs.

• 5:44Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 5:45Speaker 01

  Singular.

• 5:46Drew Afualo?

  Singular. Yes.

• 5:48Speaker 01

  All right.

• 5:50Speaker 01

  So, but I, you know, Uggs brought back this shoe from 2019.

• 5:55Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 5:55Speaker 01

  And I'm, I'm like the face of it. So they were like, you can choose 10 friends to send it to. And so, yeah, I was very happy.

• 6:01Drew Afualo?

  And I was one of the lucky ones. I won the sweepstakes.

• 6:05Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 6:07Drew Afualo?

  And it's a killer shoe. And I told you this too. You had no way of knowing that when you asked me.

• 6:11Speaker 01

  Right.

• 6:12Drew Afualo?

  But that was my favorite Uggs slipper when I, and I got them in 2020. And then they discontinued them. Now they're back. You're connecting to me in so many ways, Otsco. You need to stop. I'm getting scared.

• 6:22Speaker 01

  I don't know. You're like, you're a witch.

• 6:24Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 6:25Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 6:25Drew Afualo?

  You are a witch. That's true.

• 6:27Speaker 01

  I'm so happy. Yeah. Just little ways. You know, I'm still like kind of learning how to make friends as an adult. I feel.

• 6:33Drew Afualo?

  Are you?

• 6:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 6:34Drew Afualo?

  I feel like you have a ton of friends.

• 6:35Speaker 01

  I'm very delayed in, I think, learning how to do this. And so that's why I'm talking about it so much. You're very naturally like, haha, yes, like, and I'm like, oh, I hope, um, you know, it's okay. I was telling everyone you're my friend. Already and I sent you a pair of shoes. Did you get it? It's very, you know what I mean? It's very, because I swear, like, adult friendships is kind of a newer thing.

• 7:00Drew Afualo?

  No, that's true. Uh, you know what? That's fair. And also, I think a lot more common than people are willing to talk about. I think sometimes people get nervous saying like, it's, but I think it's really a human thing to be like, I'm still learning how to make friends as an adult, because that's true. Like, I've, I've gone through like phases of friends. So it's like when you're a teenager, when you're in your early twenties. Now that I'm in my thirties, like, there's, there are like waves, I feel like, but you like-

• 7:26Speaker 01

  With friends that you find or you stop hanging out with?

• 7:29Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I feel like, as an adult, though, I feel like I'm also making friends now as an adult. And like connecting to people in different ways. Like now that I'm older and like fully realized, like I know who I am, that kind of thing. It's better.

• 7:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 7:44Drew Afualo?

  I think.

• 7:44Speaker 01

  And as like you also age and like you and your fiance also wants to get, you get married and then some people will have kids. And then so those friends you might not see as much anymore.

• 7:55Drew Afualo?

  Exactly.

• 7:56Speaker 01

  Things like that happen.

• 7:56Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you go through like those two. But I think even with the kids thing, because I, we don't want kids.

• 8:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 8:02Drew Afualo?

  Do you want kids?

• 8:02Speaker 01

  Same. My husband actually got a vasectomy.

• 8:05Drew Afualo?

  Period. Look at you.

• 8:06Speaker 01

  Maybe six months ago.

• 8:07Drew Afualo?

  Okay, how'd it go?

• 8:09Speaker 01

  Uh, well, so we, this proof that we shouldn't have kids, uh, we show up and they're like, okay, so good. He's in for the vasectomy today and the other procedure. And we're like, what do you mean other procedure? And they're like, remember, we talked about this. Anyway, it's scheduled.

• 8:26Drew Afualo?

  Both, both of you going, hmm?

• 8:28Speaker 01

  Yeah. And they go, but we don't know anything. He's like, well, I'm here, I might as well. So they put him under and apparently that's not normal for a vasectomy.

• 8:38Drew Afualo?

  Really? Oh, yeah, because it's outpatient.

• 8:40Speaker 01

  It's just, I mean, yeah, you know.

• 8:42Drew Afualo?

  Wow, they, they put him under? Okay.

• 8:44Speaker 01

  They put him under. And so I'm Googling after, they go, he'll be out in two hours. I said, oh, sure. And then, so I go see my grandma to kill time during it.

• 8:53Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 8:54Speaker 01

  And I'm Googling like, how long does a vasectomy, uh, take?

• 8:58Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 8:59Speaker 01

  Fifteen minutes. Fifty, I said, two, two hours, and I said, do they put them down? They said, no. I said, what, what else are they doing to him? He has no idea. He's knocked out.

• 9:10Drew Afualo?

  He comes out with a BBL.

• 9:14Speaker 01

  Yes, exactly. I was like, was there some, you know, some beauty enhancement? Or what? Apparently, they, he has this condition where, um, like, one of the sacks, like, he needed to drain. There's like, it's from a previous surgery, uh, previous injury. So they actually, it's, that's an intrusive surgery, though. That's what you go under for and.

• 9:36Drew Afualo?

  That's crazy.

• 9:37Speaker 01

  There was like a whole, whole surgery of like draining the sack happening.

• 9:42Drew Afualo?

  It's even crazier that you guys didn't remember that.

• 9:45Speaker 01

  We had no idea.

• 9:46Drew Afualo?

  In the original consultation.

• 9:47Speaker 01

  We, it had, we kept pushing it because of my tour and stuff like that. We're like, oh, well, uh, we, we need another two months. We need another two months. And then so we eventually forgot that, um.

• 9:58Drew Afualo?

  What you were doing?

• 9:59Speaker 01

  Exactly. We just remembered, no more babies, no more babies. That's all we wanted.

• 10:03Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 10:04Speaker 01

  And so, so yeah, after two, he couldn't walk for like three weeks. It was suddenly an intense, intense, uh, surgery that he was feeling from.

• 10:13Drew Afualo?

  Wow.

• 10:14Speaker 01

  All because we didn't want kids and then we listened to the advice of the doctor who was like, well, you might as well try to do this, um, the drainage thing too. So, but anyway, yeah.

• 10:25Drew Afualo?

  Interesting.

• 10:26Speaker 01

  Long story short, we're also not gonna do kids.

• 10:28Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 10:29Speaker 01

  And so, um.

• 10:30Drew Afualo?

  Good for you guys.

• 10:31Speaker 01

  You know, but there's a lot of friends who have kids that they just hang out with each other now.

• 10:35Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah. And I like, and I don't mind hanging out with kids. I just don't want any myself, personally. Um, and I think we came to that conclusion, I want to say like, year three or four, we were, we were together. It's been very freeing, like, knowing, like, that we're both on the same page. Well, I wrote about it in my book. That was like the first time I ever talked about it publicly because I was, mostly because I'm just so, I really don't like the commentary, like, when people chime in on whether or not having kids is a good or a bad thing. Just not a big fan, like, because it's really no one's business, except like me and my partners. So, sometimes when I talk about it, I'm like, yeah, no, I'm just like uninterested.

• 11:16Drew Afualo?

  I just moved into a new house and when we were first touring it, the realtor was like, and you know, it's a great neighborhood for kids, like, when you, whenever you guys eventually have kids. And he was like, you guys are gonna have kids, right? And we were, yeah, we were both like, no. And then he seemed kind of like. Oh, oh, okay. And I was like, I don't know if it's because we're, we're, we're young and like, he's like, well, why wouldn't you?

• 11:37Speaker 01

  You're like, I don't know if it's because we walked in with a baby stroller that was empty. And we were like, this would be a good room for the kid.

• 11:44Drew Afualo?

  I had like a baby Bjorn on and I was like, what are you fucking talking about? But honestly, I have two dogs and that's more than enough. That is like, those are my children. I birthed them. They came from me.

• 11:56Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 11:56Drew Afualo?

  So I think that's more than enough. They're not gonna live at, long enough, but I would like to think if they could, they would leave my legacy behind. If they could outlive me, which I hope they do.

• 12:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:06Drew Afualo?

  It's in everyone's best interest that my dogs outlive me.

• 12:10Speaker 01

  And they, yes, that's right. And, and what, they continue the podcast?

• 12:14Drew Afualo?

  Yes, obviously. In my name.

• 12:17Speaker 01

  A hundred percent, yeah.

• 12:18Drew Afualo?

  I know, I should have named one of them Drew Ju- Junior, like to carry my, my namesake.

• 12:23Speaker 01

  I think they could, that's up to them to change, right?

• 12:25Drew Afualo?

  That's true, yeah.

• 12:26Speaker 01

  After, after you pass.

• 12:28Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, after, after they pull the plug on me, then they can decide amongst themselves if they want to take up that mantle.

• 12:34Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:35Drew Afualo?

  But yeah. Al- also, I do want to pivot to the last thing we filmed together.

• 12:40Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 12:40Drew Afualo?

  I had a blast with you.

• 12:42Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 12:43Drew Afualo?

  I thought you were like, really matching my energy at, at that table.

• 12:47Speaker 01

  Oh, you, you mean the podcast?

• 12:50Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, the, the YouTube thing.

• 12:51Speaker 01

  The YouTube thing?

• 12:52Drew Afualo?

  That we filmed.

• 12:53Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, the, the, the game, are we not saying?

• 12:56Drew Afualo?

  I just don't know if it's out yet.

• 12:57Speaker 01

  That's true.

• 12:58Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, so I'm not sure.

• 12:59Speaker 01

  That's true. That was so fun.

• 13:01Drew Afualo?

  It was a lot of fun. And I told everyone what your answer was to the question of like, if you could live in a movie, what would it be? And you said Paddington Two.

• 13:10Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 13:11Drew Afualo?

  Specifically.

• 13:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, the bear in Paddington Two, not the first one, because he was a different bear in that he hasn't fully realized yet. What he could become, you know what I mean, right?

• 13:22Drew Afualo?

  That's true, yeah.

• 13:23Speaker 01

  You know, you, you two years ago might be a little different than now, right? But yes, Paddington Two.

• 13:29Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's, and you said, because really, it's a story of.

• 13:31Speaker 01

  And you said Uncle Buck.

• 13:33Drew Afualo?

  I did say Uncle Buck, yeah.

• 13:34Speaker 01

  So yes, yeah, both unhinged.

• 13:36Drew Afualo?

  I know, when they asked who would we play, I said Uncle Buck, obviously. And then you said Paddington.

• 13:42Speaker 01

  Me and my husband had a long discussion, um, where I pretty much cornered him and lectured him. After he, he had the audacity, he said, he thought Paddington was a teddy bear.

• 13:57Speaker 01

  That came to life.

• 13:59Drew Afualo?

  He's thinking of corduroy. Because I also thought for a second, I thought.

• 14:03Speaker 01

  Is that right?

• 14:03Drew Afualo?

  When I saw the movie, I thought it was about corduroy, but then I realized, I was like, wait, that's Paddington.

• 14:07Speaker 01

  Wait, I don't know corduroy, the character.

• 14:09Drew Afualo?

  It's a storybook for children, but it's a teddy bear that comes to life.

• 14:13Speaker 01

  Okay, like Ted 2, the movie Ted.

• 14:15Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like Ted 2, or Winnie the Pooh, yeah, like, it's kinda like that.

• 14:18Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 14:19Drew Afualo?

  But I think corduroy was moving in the human world, if I remember correctly.

• 14:22Speaker 01

  Okay, so I can see why it was confusing for him. Because, you know, Paddington in the movie isn't a real bear too.

• 14:30Drew Afualo?

  Right, right.

• 14:31Speaker 01

  It's like CGI.

• 14:32Drew Afualo?

  CGI, yeah. They're getting real crazy with CGI.

• 14:35Speaker 01

  Yes. He was like, you're real serious about this. I like, I like pulled down. It was like, I started giving a whole, like, lesson. I was like, he's not a teddy bear, come to life. He is from dark Peru. This is where they caught him, this is where they first meet him, you know.

• 14:50Drew Afualo?

  He's a sun bear, and they are from Peru. Yeah, he's a sun bear.

• 14:53Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 14:54Drew Afualo?

  My man actually told me that, because like, I also for a second, when I was talking to him, I was like, was Paddington a toy bear? And then I go, no, no, no, he wasn't. And then he goes, no, I think he's a sun bear. Cause he's weird about animals. He knows so many animals, like, I could ask him anything about an animal or an insect, and he'll know.

• 15:09Speaker 01

  Yes, I mean, this is, uh, this means you've seen part three.

• 15:13Drew Afualo?

  Of Paddington?

• 15:14Speaker 01

  To know that he's a sun bear.

• 15:16Drew Afualo?

  Oh, no, I just knew he was a sun bear, cause my man told me.

• 15:19Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 15:19Drew Afualo?

  I would, I can't take credit for that. But my sister is a huge fan of the Paddington series as well. So when you said that, I was like, I told her, she said Paddington 2. And she was like, that's a great choice.

• 15:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, it has like, I think a hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Undeniably, people have a hard time seeing anything wrong with that movie.

• 15:40Drew Afualo?

  Which is fair.

• 15:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:42Drew Afualo?

  Would you say that's your favorite movie, or do you have a favorite movie?

• 15:44Speaker 01

  That's, gosh, that's one that I've watched many, many times.

• 15:49Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 15:49Speaker 01

  Yeah. But I watched Coco, the Pixar movie, a lot too.

• 15:53Drew Afualo?

  I love Coco.

• 15:54Speaker 01

  I'll go back and re-watch that a lot.

• 15:55Drew Afualo?

  I love that one, such a good one. I know you love Disney. Just like, I love Disney. We gotta go together.

• 16:01Speaker 01

  Yes. I, I went recently for Lunar New Year.

• 16:05Drew Afualo?

  Oh, yeah, that's right. How was that?

• 16:07Speaker 01

  Got to meet Mulan for the first time.

• 16:09Drew Afualo?

  Oh, my gosh, how was it?

• 16:10Speaker 01

  When you meet a hero like that.

• 16:14Speaker 01

  It was eh eh I I was like I I've said too much. I think I said too much. I meant Mushu too. You're meeting two. My mind was exploding.

• 16:24Speaker 01

  You know what I mean?

• 16:24Drew Afualo?

  They're really overwhelming you.

• 16:26Speaker 01

  Well, which character is your favorite and have you met them at Disney?

• 16:30Drew Afualo?

  In Disney?

• 16:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:33Drew Afualo?

  Trying to think. My favorite. Mulan was one of my favorite uh movies and princesses. Well. Princesses, I guess. But she was my favorite because she. Like I rewatched Mulan literally like two days ago. Cause I haven't watched the cartoon in a while.

• 16:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:50Drew Afualo?

  And I watched it and I was like, man, I forgot how good this movie is. And also I was thinking. That's why she was my favorite. Because she like did not take no for an answer. Like every time men told her to get back. Get back to that kitchen. She said, no, thank you.

• 17:05Speaker 01

  Right.

• 17:06Drew Afualo?

  Instead, she joined the army.

• 17:07Speaker 01

  That's true.

• 17:07Drew Afualo?

  She's real as fuck. I was like, watch out. She's so me like you like.

• 17:11Speaker 01

  And then like confused Captain Li Shang like am I bi?

• 17:16Speaker 01

  Right, right, like he's.

• 17:17Drew Afualo?

  When he finds out she's a girl and he's disgusted. He throws her in the snow. Get out of here.

• 17:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah.

• 17:23Drew Afualo?

  Be gone.

• 17:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, be gone. I was because but he must have had feelings for her already too.

• 17:29Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, had to have. That's probably why he was so angry, conflicted.

• 17:33Speaker 01

  I think so, yeah. A lot of people consider him like one of the first bi characters, you know, in Disney.

• 17:38Drew Afualo?

  A bi king.

• 17:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:40Drew Afualo?

  We love that.

• 17:41Speaker 01

  You know.

• 17:41Drew Afualo?

  Early representation.

• 17:43Speaker 01

  And he was very attractive too. And so um yes, yeah. So, okay, so.

• 17:49Drew Afualo?

  I would say Mulan, yeah. I would say she was one of my favorite ones. Trying to think who else I like absolutely loved.

• 17:56Speaker 01

  You know what's hard is when you're at the parks. I feel, you know, the protagonists aren't as interesting to play as a character.

• 18:05Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 18:06Speaker 01

  You know what I mean?

• 18:06Drew Afualo?

  I see what you mean.

• 18:07Speaker 01

  Uh the villains are fun.

• 18:09Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah, they are, they are.

• 18:10Speaker 01

  The witch.

• 18:11Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 18:12Speaker 01

  Like the oh, the evil uh the sorry, the evil queen.

• 18:14Drew Afualo?

  Yeah. Oh, from Snow White?

• 18:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:16Drew Afualo?

  Period.

• 18:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 18:17Drew Afualo?

  That's tea. I loved Monsters Inc. That was one of my favorite ones.

• 18:21Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 18:21Drew Afualo?

  I would love to meet them. Here's my thing, though. I have like a touch of megalophobia. So like. Large.

• 18:29Speaker 01

  What's that?

• 18:30Drew Afualo?

  Like things that are really, really big.

• 18:32Speaker 01

  In general?

• 18:33Drew Afualo?

  Typically mammals, like if they're really large, so like whales really scare me.

• 18:38Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 18:38Drew Afualo?

  Like I have a very deep seated fear. So when I see like animal, like costumes at Disneyland, like Chewbacca, for example. I had like a full blown panic attack when I saw Chewbacca at once at Disneyland as an adult, as a full grown adult.

• 18:52Speaker 01

  Like that's too big for you. Cause you said whale and whale, whale, yes. Whale is, I mean, almost miraculously out of this world big.

• 19:01Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's true.

• 19:02Speaker 01

  And then you said Chewbacca, that Chewbacca is like, what, six, five?

• 19:08Drew Afualo?

  I think he's like seven feet tall.

• 19:09Speaker 01

  Okay, okay.

• 19:10Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 19:10Speaker 01

  So that, so that's too big for you too?

• 19:13Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 19:13Speaker 01

  Seven feet tall is too big.

• 19:14Drew Afualo?

  I think, I think there is such a thing as too much, like with, with mammals. Like I'm like, you don't need to be that big. There's no need.

• 19:20Speaker 01

  So like humans too? Do humans that tall scare you?

• 19:23Drew Afualo?

  I just, I don't feel.

• 19:24Speaker 01

  Like Jacob Elordi?

• 19:25Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like he, I saw him in person. He is very tall in person.

• 19:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:30Drew Afualo?

  He doesn't scare me. It's just like, it gives me the creeps. Like when it's a human, it gives me the creeps. When you're a certain level of tall, cause my, but my dad's really tall. My dad's six, six. But my dad's a big, like a big dude, like. I think it's more like spindly, like if you're really skinny and you're really tall, that's where I get a little spooked.

• 19:47Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 19:47Drew Afualo?

  I'm a little spooked.

• 19:48Speaker 01

  Like a, like a Babadook.

• 19:50Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yes, exactly.

• 19:51Speaker 01

  Like a slender man.

• 19:52Drew Afualo?

  Yes, exactly. And only men. When I see, when I, humans, when I see, uh, women that are that tall, I'm like, wow. Human nature, genetics, they're fantastic. With men, I'm like, gives me the creeps.

• 20:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, that, that tracks.

• 20:08Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 20:10Drew Afualo?

  Do you have any fears?

• 20:10Speaker 01

  I wonder if, I mean, that's what Elordi played, right? Is Frankenstein, someone people were scared of.

• 20:16Drew Afualo?

  Oh, my God, yeah, yeah.

• 20:17Speaker 01

  That, um.

• 20:18Drew Afualo?

  Frankenstein's monster.

• 20:19Speaker 01

  I think that's why really tall people get that, you know, I think they grew up with like insecurities too, right?

• 20:25Drew Afualo?

  Right.

• 20:25Speaker 01

  Maybe people have whole fears around their, their height.

• 20:30Drew Afualo?

  They're scared of them because they're so tall.

• 20:32Speaker 01

  I'm so curious about this whale though. Whale is also so, so different. Have you encountered a whale?

• 20:37Drew Afualo?

  I mean, I've seen pictures of them.

• 20:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:39Drew Afualo?

  I've seen videos. I've seen one from a distance.

• 20:42Speaker 01

  Oh, the ocean scares me.

• 20:44Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, me too.

• 20:45Speaker 01

  I just. I just kinda learned how to swim in a pool, so.

• 20:51Drew Afualo?

  You're baby stepping towards the ocean.

• 20:53Speaker 01

  I tried the ocean. We were in Hawaii and we kind of did the bobbing up and down.

• 20:58Drew Afualo?

  Oh, nice, and the floaty.

• 21:00Speaker 01

  But you would have thought, you would have thought I was in deep waters, the way I was acting.

• 21:06Drew Afualo?

  You were so, so fearful of the ocean.

• 21:08Speaker 01

  There were lifeguards being like, do we help her? It's only up to her waist, but I kept screaming, yeah.

• 21:15Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you're, you're, well, you're learning. So you're learning how to be in deep water. Do you, are you afraid of the ocean, like, just the ocean itself, or is it like the animals? Is all of it?

• 21:26Speaker 01

  Uh, yes, no, yeah, all of it. It's so like, oh my gosh, it's like day one of Earth.

• 21:32Drew Afualo?

  That's true.

• 21:33Speaker 01

  You know, it's.

• 21:34Drew Afualo?

  That's so true.

• 21:35Speaker 01

  Mother Nature, she's gonna do whatever she wants.

• 21:38Drew Afualo?

  Oh my god, that's such a good point.

• 21:40Speaker 01

  Right? It's deep, it's wide.

• 21:41Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's right. I love the ocean, but ocean animals scare me, like fish scare me. But like any and all animal, there's very few animals actually that don't scare me.

• 21:53Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:53Drew Afualo?

  So, you know, that's just kind of a me thing. But with the ocean, I feel very respectful of the ocean. I'm like, you know, your house, your rules.

• 22:00Speaker 01

  Yes, what am I doing in here, bobbing up and down with my bathing suit from Billabong?

• 22:07Speaker 01

  This was not meant to be here.

• 22:08Drew Afualo?

  My Roxy bikini.

• 22:09Speaker 01

  A bowl cut in the ocean? This was not meant to be.

• 22:14Drew Afualo?

  No, probably not.

• 22:16Speaker 01

  And it's like, oh, what did I get hit by? Was that, oh, uh, someone's trash? We don't, we don't deserve this.

• 22:22Drew Afualo?

  That's true. I agree.

• 22:24Speaker 01

  You know, yeah.

• 22:25Drew Afualo?

  Well, the whale thing, I think, just kind of comes into the largeness of them. I'm just freaked out. Like, have you ever seen Life of Pi?

• 22:33Speaker 01

  Oh, gosh, I think maybe a long time ago.

• 22:35Drew Afualo?

  Well, it's not a minute detail, but it's like, do you remember that scene where he's like, he's been stranded? And then a giant whale like goes up next to him and he like sees him and he's like, whoa, and then it like gives him will to keep going.

• 22:48Speaker 01

  Right.

• 22:49Drew Afualo?

  That would have made me kill myself that night. I would have been like, oh, I forgot I'm in the ocean. Goodbye. I would have let the tiger have me at that point. I'd have been like, you know what? It's been fun. I'm over it. That would have been more, I couldn't, when I watched that scene, it like makes my heart race.

• 23:03Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 23:04Drew Afualo?

  I can't imagine.

• 23:04Speaker 01

  Same with that Bible story where, you know, Jonah got swallowed by the whale. And then he still had the will to live. I think it happened in Pinocchio too. I'm like, I'm sorry, what hope? What makes you think you have eh eh any enough knowledge or strength? Once I'm swallowed, I'm like, and I live, I would try to hold my breath until I just die.

• 23:32Speaker 01

  I'm already in there. I have contacts on.

• 23:34Drew Afualo?

  Oh, my God, me too.

• 23:35Speaker 01

  Right? You think, no, you're not supposed to sleep with contacts on, but I'm now in the belly of a whale.

• 23:44Drew Afualo?

  Am I gonna take my contacts out while I'm in here?

• 23:46Speaker 01

  At best, I'm gonna get eye infection. Right? On top of starving to death in wet.

• 23:53Drew Afualo?

  In whale, mind you.

• 23:54Speaker 01

  In wet whale.

• 23:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, I, yes, you're right. Like, it's like the massiveness, like, I am nothing. I'm so small. I am nothing. Bye bye.

• 24:07Drew Afualo?

  I'm so menial in the large puzzle of life. Like, that's really how I feel in those moments. I also don't have like any sense or drive to like push past stuff like that.

• 24:18Speaker 01

  Same.

• 24:20Drew Afualo?

  I don't have it at all. I'm like, well, you know.

• 24:22Speaker 01

  And you live and you're like, god damn it, why? Okay.

• 24:26Drew Afualo?

  What the hell?

• 24:27Speaker 01

  Okay, and?

• 24:28Drew Afualo?

  Now I'm supposed to just deal with that for the rest of my life?

• 24:30Speaker 01

  What keeps you going? The, the possibility? I've heard that, like, you know, like, if you believe in a god or something, that'll keep you going, but I don't. I'm not like a church person, so what is it? It would have to be like, oh, you know, it would have to be immense ego. You know?

• 24:47Drew Afualo?

  Hubris would have to drive you there.

• 24:49Speaker 01

  This is gonna be a good book. I can't die. You know what I mean? I don't have that.

• 24:55Drew Afualo?

  I don't have that either. That's why I say sometimes when people are like zombie apocalypse, what, do you think you would survive? Do you?

• 25:03Speaker 01

  With, with what skill? Do they do you want a talent show every night where I do the same jokes?

• 25:10Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you just entertain.

• 25:11Speaker 01

  I think people would eat me first. After the third night, they'll be like, she's doing the same set. She's doing the same.

• 25:17Drew Afualo?

  Nothing new, nothing new.

• 25:18Speaker 01

  She's over.

• 25:19Drew Afualo?

  She keeps going back to that zombie joke. Well, I'm over it. I'm so over it.

• 25:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, how about you?

• 25:25Drew Afualo?

  No, same. I've, I've said the same thing. I, I feel like I'm doing suicide pact with whoever wants to join me. It's a real like, i- if you'd like to join, but I'd like to do like, I'd like to like, eat a really good meal, maybe. Do all my favorite things.

• 25:41Speaker 01

  Right.

• 25:42Drew Afualo?

  That I could do at the time and then I'm out.

• 25:46Speaker 01

  What I want, you know, good, good meal with whatever there is too.

• 25:50Drew Afualo?

  Right, exactly. I'm assuming it's at the start because I don't think I'll live very long. So like, I'm assuming it's like day one of zombie apocalypse.

• 25:58Speaker 01

  What's a, what's a fun, weird like trick or skill you can do that might be fun? You know, like, not useful, but something that people don't know.

• 26:08Drew Afualo?

  It's, that's like fun?

• 26:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, that you could do, like a trick.

• 26:11Drew Afualo?

  Ooh, a trick, like a party trick, okay. I can guess height pretty well, on men especially.

• 26:17Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 26:17Drew Afualo?

  I can guess height pretty well.

• 26:19Speaker 01

  You're gonna, you're gonna be eaten first. You're gonna be eaten first. I was trying to see if that could be a, you know.

• 26:25Drew Afualo?

  Useful?

• 26:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, like, okay, you can guess height?

• 26:29Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, I can guess height and they're gonna be like, I don't need that shit.

• 26:31Speaker 01

  So everyone's, everyone's like starving, right? And we're choosing a person to eat. And we're like, Drew, what do you got? And you're like, are you, you're like five, five?

• 26:41Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, I'm like six, two.

• 26:45Speaker 01

  I can, uh, while, I can wind my waist and, uh, going backwards.

• 26:50Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 26:51Speaker 01

  And open up a, a bottle.

• 26:54Drew Afualo?

  Really?

• 26:54Speaker 01

  If it's loose already. Like, I can spin the cap of a water bottle off.

• 27:00Drew Afualo?

  But it has to be loose.

• 27:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:02Drew Afualo?

  Just a little bit.

• 27:02Speaker 01

  There's, there's limitations.

• 27:04Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 27:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:05Drew Afualo?

  Well, I think you're dying too then. By that measure, I think we're dying alongside each other.

• 27:08Speaker 01

  But you'll wanna at least watch it. Like, I'll, I can buy time. I'll be like, I can do this. Do you wanna see? And then you would be like, wait, we have to see that.

• 27:17Drew Afualo?

  Right. That's true. Like, well, let's see if she's being.

• 27:20Speaker 01

  At least for a couple of minutes.

• 27:21Drew Afualo?

  At least, let's see if she's being for real. Let's see.

• 27:24Speaker 01

  While I'm at my most vulnerable.

• 27:28Speaker 01

  I think that's when people will just be like, we gotta barbecue her.

• 27:33Drew Afualo?

  They would make the choice right there.

• 27:34Speaker 01

  I think so.

• 27:35Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, but I mean, probably.

• 27:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:37Drew Afualo?

  But you know what? I'd be entertained, which is probably why I'd be killed too.

• 27:40Speaker 01

  I have a bottle. I'll show you later.

• 27:41Drew Afualo?

  Okay, that would be perfect.

• 27:43Speaker 01

  See if I still have it.

• 27:44Drew Afualo?

  Show me your party trick later.

• 27:45Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:46Drew Afualo?

  This episode is brought to you by Hulu. A new dawn is rising in Gilead. From the executive producers of The Handmaid's Tale comes The Testaments, a new Hulu original series. Golden Globe nominee Chase Infinity plays Agnes, guiding new student Daisy through Aunt Lydia's school for future wives, where obedience is enforced brutally. But their bond sparks a quiet rebellion, and the girls begin pushing back and seeking independence. And that's only the beginning. Watch The Testaments, now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers. Terms apply. This is kind of a random pivot, but I'm so curious. Do you have any shows you're liking lately?

• 28:30Speaker 01

  Oh, gosh. I am, I'm actually behind in shows.

• 28:35Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 28:36Speaker 01

  I've watched some fellow stand-up comedians' specials like Chris Fleming.

• 28:42Drew Afualo?

  Oh, I love Chris Fleming. I love him.

• 28:45Speaker 01

  So that's good.

• 28:46Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, he was incredible.

• 28:48Speaker 01

  What should I be watching?

• 28:49Drew Afualo?

  Oh, I just said this on the last episode, but the show Paradise on Hulu.

• 28:53Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 28:54Drew Afualo?

  Starring, I think Sterling K. Brown.

• 28:57Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 28:57Drew Afualo?

  That one, fantastic. No notes on my end. No one gives a fuck what I think, but it's incredible. It's truly, like, I would say it's one of those shows where things are getting so fucking insane and crazy, but not in a way that's like annoying. So it's like each episode is something new and it's like, it's just like the craziest storyline ever.

• 29:19Speaker 01

  Can you tell me the premise?

• 29:21Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, the premise is Sterling K. Brown plays the head of security for the current president of the United States, who's James Marsden. And um he's basically the president when the world ends. So it's like the they have like because of climate change, there's like a huge natural disaster on all sides of the country, all sides of the world. And so basically it blocks out the sun for like two years and like all the nation's richest, most elite people built a bunker and picked people to go live underground while that all happened.

• 29:51Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 29:52Drew Afualo?

  So it's like genuinely crazy, like a crazy storyline.

• 29:56Speaker 01

  And so they're all underground.

• 29:58Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like for the most part in the in the first season especially and now it's two seasons.

• 30:03Speaker 01

  Kind of like Fallout?

• 30:04Drew Afualo?

  I I I've heard people compare it to Fallout, but I've never watched Fallout.

• 30:08Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 30:08Drew Afualo?

  Did you like that one?

• 30:09Speaker 01

  Um, it got chaotic and I was like, oh gosh, with apocalypse stuff, it's hard, right? It's hard to keep it interesting, but also not like

• 30:16Drew Afualo?

  Too much.

• 30:17Speaker 01

  So ridiculous.

• 30:18Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's so true.

• 30:19Speaker 01

  But they are like living uh underground.

• 30:21Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, I've I've had. I've had that feeling about shows before where like I've watched Breaking Bad, right? I never finished it.

• 30:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 30:29Drew Afualo?

  But I started watching, I watched a lot of it, but there was a point at that show where I was like, well, it can't get any worse than that. Like it just can't. And they always found a way to get it to be worse than that. And they just started stressing me out to the point where I had to stop. I was like, I gotta step away from this.

• 30:46Speaker 01

  Yes, because there was now like a chicken man, like he sells chickens, but he's the but he's the main bad guy.

• 30:52Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 30:53Speaker 01

  Uh, Lost, do you, did you ever watch the TV show Lost?

• 30:56Drew Afualo?

  No, but I know it has the biggest following, like people love that show.

• 31:00Speaker 01

  That one got so wild where it was, it was like upsetting. Where it would be like you, this person you thought was, you know, like your friend.

• 31:10Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 31:10Speaker 01

  There's two of him, but he's not a twin. It's like a magical force that makes it so now there's two of him. And uh but you're not hallucinating, it's for real. And then there's this dark force that lives in the, it's so much.

• 31:24Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 31:24Speaker 01

  And the whole thing, wait, I mean, I don't know.

• 31:26Drew Afualo?

  You could tell me, you could tell me.

• 31:28Speaker 01

  I think the whole thing ends at a church. The whole sea like seasons and seasons of people who you know they they got stranded on an island after a plane crash and it ends in a church. I think it's kinda like the whole thing never happened or something like that.

• 31:43Drew Afualo?

  That's crazy.

• 31:44Speaker 01

  It was wild.

• 31:45Drew Afualo?

  That is insane. Do you have like an all time favorite show?

• 31:49Speaker 01

  Oh gosh, um.

• 31:51Drew Afualo?

  Like one that you're like, you guys have to watch this.

• 31:54Speaker 01

  All time favorite show. Maybe TV shows are hard for me is what I'm realizing.

• 31:59Drew Afualo?

  What about movies? Okay, what about movies?

• 32:01Speaker 01

  I love when a movie story just ends. You know, in one sitting. I don't, the seasons thing is hard. For years, the same people make the same mistake. Girl, learn from it.

• 32:14Drew Afualo?

  Didn't you learn from last season?

• 32:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, don't go back to him. Sex and the City, they're still in the city.

• 32:23Drew Afualo?

  This can't be.

• 32:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, so I'm.

• 32:26Drew Afualo?

  Saying ain't so.

• 32:27Speaker 01

  I'm not retired yet.

• 32:28Drew Afualo?

  That's how I feel about uh reality shows.

• 32:31Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 32:32Drew Afualo?

  I can't do it.

• 32:33Speaker 01

  Cause it's this, like, you mean like um even with everyone being like, hey, you haven't watched, have you watched Traders? Like even.

• 32:41Drew Afualo?

  Oh, I haven't watched Tr- okay, so Traders, I haven't watched, but my sister has told me all about and I know Traders is fun. Traders is really cool. Because it's like people you know too, so they're all playing against each other.

• 32:52Speaker 01

  Right.

• 32:52Drew Afualo?

  I'm talking about things like The Bachelorette, like um the the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives thing, like stuff like that Love is Blind, like dating stuff.

• 33:02Speaker 01

  Right.

• 33:02Drew Afualo?

  All that, I'm like, I just can't. I don't have room up here.

• 33:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:07Drew Afualo?

  I can't store, and I have this itis, this very, and this is a proven thing for me, I have an itis where like white people, and this is honestly hilarious, but it is very real, I I have a very hard time distinguishing them from each other. So like I I, like there was a whole thing where I thought Paul Mescal, Logan Lerman, and another man named Dylan Minette, I I thought all three of them were Logan Lerman.

• 33:38Speaker 01

  Girl, I'm trying to picture.

• 33:40Drew Afualo?

  See, see what I mean? I, that's why I'm telling you, cause I think I knew you would understand this itis that I have.

• 33:45Speaker 01

  Right, right. Uh you're like my grandma. So my grandma has known Ryan, my husband, for ten years. My husband is white, but I could be showing her a picture of like Harry Styles or something, and she will still think it's Ryan. It happened the other day. I was showing her. I was like, look, he's so he, you know, he just hosted SNL.

• 34:03Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 34:04Speaker 01

  And she was like, that's a cute picture of Ryan. She goes, he changed his eyes? I said, bitch, bitch, no, he didn't change his eyes.

• 34:16Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, he got colored contacts.

• 34:17Speaker 01

  He, he changes, yes, he changed everything. Ju- just for this picture though.

• 34:23Drew Afualo?

  Just for this one gig.

• 34:24Speaker 01

  Just for this picture though. And I said, no, grandma, this is not Ryan. This is Harry. His name is Harry Styles. She goes, who's Harry? I said, I said, he is a famous singer. And she said, this is, no joke, she goes, without me seeing B, she goes, oh, Ryan's friend?

• 34:43Speaker 01

  So to my grandma, every white person is either Ryan or knows Ryan.

• 34:49Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah, they all know Ryan. All roads lead back to Ryan.

• 34:53Speaker 01

  But honestly, touche, because it's kind of how Asians kind of have been.

• 34:56Drew Afualo?

  That's literally what makes me laugh about it. I, I, and I'm being so genuine about it. Like, it's not, I don't mean to do it. It's just one of those things. I just can't. It's ironic that they, that they can be so racist sometimes in identifying people because they all look the same to me. In a lot of ways. So, I'd like, one time my sister was explaining the difference between Daisy, it's gonna, hard for me, Daisy Ridley.

• 35:19Speaker 01

  You're gonna have to pull these pictures up.

• 35:20Drew Afualo?

  Exactly.

• 35:21Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 35:21Drew Afualo?

  Daisy Ridley.

• 35:22Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 35:23Drew Afualo?

  Daisy Edgar Jones, different lady.

• 35:26Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 35:27Drew Afualo?

  Show called Daisy and the Six.

• 35:33Drew Afualo?

  What the hell?

• 35:34Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 35:35Drew Afualo?

  I literally go, so Daisy and the Six is about Daisy Edgar Jones. They go, no. And then I go, okay. Um, so, and she goes, that show, my sister's explaining to me, that show's not about either of those two women. Those two women are two separate white women and they are actresses, both of them.

• 35:52Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 35:52Drew Afualo?

  And I'm like, oh.

• 35:53Speaker 01

  So there's a whole different Daisy.

• 35:55Drew Afualo?

  Yeah. So then I started saying Daisy Edgar Ridley Jones, and that's all of their names combined. And it was, it was stressing me out to the point where I was like, forget it, forget it, forget it. I believe you, forget it. I don't need to know anymore. Even recently, I sent my sister a picture of this couple, this white. Couple. God bless them. I don't know their names. God bless them.

• 36:12Speaker 01

  Right.

• 36:12Drew Afualo?

  They were everywhere over Fashion Week, apparently. There's their pictures everywhere.

• 36:16Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:17Drew Afualo?

  I send it to my sister. I go, who are these people?

• 36:20Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 36:20Drew Afualo?

  Cause even when I go in the comments, everyone in the comments is like, I don't know who these people are. Cause it's like E news or something, Instagram. Or there are people going, love them, love them together. I'm not getting any info. No one is telling me any information. And the caption just says, hot couple alert. Okay. So I know they're a couple.

• 36:38Speaker 01

  Sure. Yeah.

• 36:38Drew Afualo?

  And I literally said, I said to my sister, I say, who are these people? And then she sent me back a bunch of ha ha's and she goes, they're, they're two actors in the show. Tell me lies, but they are dating in real life. And I was like, I can't.

• 36:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:52Drew Afualo?

  That's enough for me.

• 36:54Speaker 01

  Oh my God. I'm glad she can decipher. Isn't there like a con- a condition where you can't like, uh, remember people's faces? That's a different thing. But you just have it with.

• 37:05Drew Afualo?

  With just white people and their names, like they're ident- identifying their names. Like it's like even with, with Paul Mescal. Like I thought Paul Mescal was Logan Lerman for the longest time. I, I like, I don't know how on earth. They're, they're two different people, but I was just like, when I first heard Paul Mescal's name, I was like, oh my God, from Percy Jackson, The Lightning Thief.

• 37:25Speaker 01

  That's what I think too.

• 37:26Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 37:26Speaker 01

  I was like, my grandma must think my husband is so busy all the time.

• 37:30Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like working all the time.

• 37:32Speaker 01

  Like she turns on CNN and she's like, oh, it's Ryan arguing with himself again.

• 37:37Drew Afualo?

  Ryan, how are you doing that? He's so talented.

• 37:41Speaker 01

  President again.

• 37:44Drew Afualo?

  Me and your grandma have that in common.

• 37:46Speaker 01

  Right. Where you're just like, these people are in so many things at the same time.

• 37:49Drew Afualo?

  Well, I see my future and it is bright when I look at your grandma. That's like, that's gonna be me in my old age. Like for real, that's gonna be me.

• 37:56Speaker 01

  It's like at Disneyland, they're so strict about like, there can't be two Cinderellas walking around at the same time. We must, you know what I mean? Because there's multiple, yes, but you cannot be seeing both of you at the, it kills the magic. There's only one of you, one of you. It's like that.

• 38:11Drew Afualo?

  Yes, exactly. Uh, yeah. And that's why I feel very like. It it feels like a joke, but it cause it is, but I I really do struggle with it like I thought I thought Paul Mescal was was Percy Jackson. And then when I told my sister, I was like, oh, well, I think that's well, you know, the guy from Percy Jackson is she goes, who? And I go Paul Mescal. She goes, he's never been in that movie. And I'm like, well, then who the hell is that? Then she shows me a picture of him and I go, who the hell is that? I had now, obviously, I know who he is. This was a couple of years ago.

• 38:37Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 38:38Drew Afualo?

  But at the time I was just like, oh, my God, like, I just can't, I can't keep it straight.

• 38:42Speaker 01

  So then when you watch reality shows, you're just like, how am I gonna remember the drama?

• 38:47Drew Afualo?

  Exactly.

• 38:48Speaker 01

  I think Emily was Emma and Marcy too.

• 38:52Drew Afualo?

  Right.

• 38:52Speaker 01

  And so, right, and they're all fighting each other.

• 38:57Drew Afualo?

  It's the same thing with like the Mormon wives. I'm like, I everybody has brown hair.

• 39:01Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 39:02Drew Afualo?

  And everybody's white and short. So I that's really all I have. I don't have any other.

• 39:06Speaker 01

  Same town and their wives.

• 39:08Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, for real. I need to like, I feel like I need to.

• 39:11Speaker 01

  Have different backstories.

• 39:12Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you know, sometimes when people have sheep, they they spray paint a num- like a number on them or something and they're like, that's number six. Like, sometimes I feel like I need to do that to to white people. So I just don't forget till I remember till it's like ingrained.

• 39:24Speaker 01

  You know what would help you? You ever seen Naked and Afraid?

• 39:28Drew Afualo?

  Yes, I have. I used to love that show.

• 39:30Speaker 01

  So that's only two white people at a time.

• 39:31Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 39:33Speaker 01

  And it's usually they do like boy and girl.

• 39:35Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 39:36Speaker 01

  You you'll be like that. Okay, that one's Marcy and that one's bad.

• 39:39Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah. It has to be. And I know girl.

• 39:42Speaker 01

  It has to be, exactly.

• 39:44Drew Afualo?

  Identify fight boy and girl.

• 39:45Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 39:45Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's true. That's why I said like I saw that couple. I said, who is this? Who is this?

• 39:52Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 39:53Drew Afualo?

  And one time, one time I met someone. Cause I do like, I do actually remember faces for the most part, if I meet you in person, like if I meet you in person, it's different.

• 40:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 40:03Drew Afualo?

  But like there was one girl who had met me and then like a year later she met me again at a different event, but she had different hair.

• 40:10Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 40:11Drew Afualo?

  And so like I remembered her face, but I was like, I don't want to assume that's her because of my itis, because she was a white woman.

• 40:17Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 40:17Drew Afualo?

  So I was like, I don't want to assume that's her because what if it's my itis acting up and it's not her? And so I was like, oh, it's nice to I said, like, it's nice to see you. And then she, but I said it in a way that didn't seem like I remembered her and then she goes. Oh, we've met before and I go, okay, I thought so, but you changed your hair color. Cause she was blonde when I met her. And then when I saw her, she was brunette and she had shorter hair. And she goes, I did dye my hair.

• 40:41Speaker 01

  Oh, thank God.

• 40:42Drew Afualo?

  I literally was like, oh, thank God.

• 40:45Speaker 01

  You are like my grandma. You're like, you changed your eyes?

• 40:48Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 40:50Drew Afualo?

  Swapped them out?

• 40:51Speaker 01

  You changed your...

• 40:52Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, imagine she was like, wow, he looks way better. Imagine.

• 40:57Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 40:58Drew Afualo?

  She's like, thank God. Just kidding.

• 41:02Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 41:03Drew Afualo?

  Okay, so I know you said... I know you said, back to what you like to watch. I know you said you were watching a lot of your friends' stand-up specials. Aside from Chris Fleming, any other faves that you've seen?

• 41:13Speaker 01

  That's right. Taylor Tomlinson's also came out recently.

• 41:17Drew Afualo?

  Yes, yeah. So good.

• 41:18Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 41:18Drew Afualo?

  So funny.

• 41:19Speaker 01

  Because I used to be a church girl.

• 41:21Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 41:22Speaker 01

  So I was curious what she would say about it.

• 41:25Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 41:26Speaker 01

  My father-in-law's a televangelist preacher, currently of a mega church.

• 41:30Drew Afualo?

  Whoa.

• 41:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, so I'm always like, you know, what, yeah, what's being said about it?

• 41:36Drew Afualo?

  Right.

• 41:37Speaker 01

  Could I use this to make him feel bad?

• 41:42Speaker 01

  You know, like a...

• 41:42Drew Afualo?

  Can I use this for evil?

• 41:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What else? Um, let's see, who else? Who else has been up? I think those two are the latest.

• 41:51Drew Afualo?

  I'm so, I'm so curious, like, as like a professional stand-up, like, what do you... Cause your stand-up, first of all, killer, is just unbelievable and you are so funny. But you have one of those really unique things about your comedy where it's, it's never punching down. And I feel like especially now with comedy and like the integration of the internet at the same time. It's like, you know how some comedians who are bad will be like, oh, it was a fucking joke? When they say really offensive things, as if it's impossible to joke without punching down?

• 42:23Speaker 01

  Right, right.

• 42:24Drew Afualo?

  But I guess like my question to you is like, how did you find that like voice in comedy for you? Like, how did you come to that? Like, and start creating your jokes and writing them? Cause they're so funny and they're so relatable, but they're also so specific to you and authentic to your experience. So like, how did you like find your voice in comedy, really?

• 42:43Speaker 01

  Yeah, they say it takes like ten years for you to like find your voice in comedy. Um, some people longer. I feel like it took me a while cuz you know, you're first trying to like sound like other people. Uh, because that's who you watched, like you know, Margaret Cho or Tig Notaro people I had watched. I feel like there's like a, like I was talking about how, you know, I'm kinda newer still at learning how to make friends as an adult. I think, you know, I I grew up with my mom and grandma who never talked.

• 43:19Speaker 01

  Growing up, uh, they didn't listen to any music. We just sat in silence. We lived in that garage and you know, my mom has schizophrenia and didn't have any friends, so I didn't really watch them socialize and you know, also have interest in stuff. So it's hard for me to figure out even like, how do I build a personality? You know, I didn't have siblings. I didn't have siblings who could tell me the difference between white people or, you know what I mean? Being like, hey, this is a new song, you know, this is the latest songs that we're listening to at school. I didn't have that. So, um, I think it took me a little longer to figure out what the hell is my taste or my voice.

• 43:59Speaker 01

  And, um, so then, but then I just knew the things I was gravitated towards, you know, if I think watching my mom suffer all her life and still to this day, you know, she's still like very very much bedridden and, you know, can't drive. She has seizures too, so you know, she's just very alone. While I get to like tour the world and have different experiences. I just, I can picture, you know, even right now, she's just, you know, in in her bed, right? Watching TV and you know, watching other people like live life. And so I think with that, I built a lot of like love and empathy for people, humans.

• 44:44Speaker 01

  And so.

• 44:45Drew Afualo?

  And connection.

• 44:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 44:47Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, totally.

• 44:48Speaker 01

  And so I think n- never wanting people to feel like an outsider, like they don't belong was huge for me. And so I think that's why, like punching down isn't something I even. Like gravitate towards.

• 45:06Drew Afualo?

  Absolutely.

• 45:07Speaker 01

  Even at my drunkest and I'm having fun. Like, that's not even the way I would joke.

• 45:13Drew Afualo?

  No, never. Well, that's that's what I find so amazing about your comedy because it can still transcend. Cause your culture is a big part of your comedy too. And you're able to like transcend culture and like speak to other people of different cultures. And like I, how did, how did you, or when did you start kind of incorporating that into your comedy? Like a lot more, did you start from the very beginning? Did you kind of work up to it?

• 45:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think in the beginning I did a little bit, but then, you know, I was like.

• 45:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, when I, when I started, I think there was still a little bit of a tendency to wanna like punch down on yourself.

• 45:51Drew Afualo?

  Right, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 45:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, and so there was some, there was some punching down. I was trying, when I was trying different jokes, like uh, making fun of like your own Asian-ness or something. I have done that actually, because I wanted to fit in or, you know. It was, it was hard. I started like sixteen years ago. And there weren't that many Asian American comedians at that time. So there would be times where, uh, one time I was hosting a show. And I brought up a comedian friend of mine. He was South Asian.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  And we knew each other though, so I, I brought him up and then he immediately. Cause he wanted to fit in too, I think, you know, he was like, thanks, uh, thanks, thanks for that, uh, what was her name? Pokemon? Pikachu? What was it? And I was like. You know, cause he didn't wanna, I don't know, but to make fun of the fact that my name is hard to say. And different and Asian, even though he was Asian too and he had taken on an English name. And so.

• 47:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, so I'm like, I'm like, oh, I never punched out, but I did, I have punched out in the past on my.

• 47:08Drew Afualo?

  On yourself.

• 47:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, like, maybe like bad driving joke or something about myself.

• 47:13Drew Afualo?

  Right, but that's also like, like comes with growth too, like you were saying, like over time. You've learned and found your voice, like in a much more authentic and true to you way. And I think that's natural too, because especially as women of color. Like when you go into comedy, like the easiest thing I feel like too is sometimes is to punch down on you. Especially if you're someone who doesn't want to hurt others and you're like, well, I'll just talk about me. But I think what's beautiful about your comedy now, though, is that you can still. Make jokes involving culture, but not in a way that's. Upsetting or offensive or like punching down like we were talking about. But I think too, first of all, I want to say. Your name is badass, like you have a killer fucking name.

• 47:58Drew Afualo?

  And I, I love that you insist upon how it's pronounced. I love that you kept your name. I think that's fucking incredible. And it is like part of assimilation and like assimilating into white supremacy when. Uh, you take on English names when you take, and I, and I understand what you're saying too, where you have empathy for it because you understand wanting to fit in. And wanting to blend. But then you also understand what it takes from you when you do like sacrifice that, like you're almost sacrificing yourself a little bit when you get to do that. So I think it's fucking awesome that you continue to perform as your true government birth name. I think that's fucking beautiful. I think it's amazing. And that's also another reason too, why I didn't um. Make up a handle or anything when I started making videos. I just did my first and last name.

• 48:44Drew Afualo?

  And um, a lot of men who hate me, um, and women too who hate me have like purposely and intentionally mispronounced my la- my last name, which is. Really not hard to say, but every time I, it's said, just like your name's not hard to say. Like if you um, just try just a little bit, it's pretty easy. Um, and it's also free to ask. And I will say the one name I've ever mispronounced on this show.

• 49:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 49:09Drew Afualo?

  Was my white friend Caleb Heron.

• 49:11Speaker 01

  Oh. The last name. I think still kinda trips people up.

• 49:15Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, with him, I said Heron and he's like, it's actually Heron. And I said, that's crazy cuz I've never mince pronounced a last name. Literally ever. That was the first time I ever had him on. And he was a white guy.

• 49:26Speaker 01

  I wonder if it's part of the itis.

• 49:28Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, it's part of my itis. Exactly. It's rearing its head in so many ways. And honestly, I laugh cuz I feel like it's reparations, low key.

• 49:36Speaker 01

  You know, to just be like, well, and your name, Kevin? Is it Kevin? Kevin, Otsco. Kevin. Oh, sorry.

• 49:44Drew Afualo?

  Sorry, sorry. Names are hard for me.

• 49:48Drew Afualo?

  Do you mind if I call you Kay? It's just easier for me.

• 49:52Drew Afualo?

  It's like my, my friend, um, she brought, uh, she was gonna bring someone over to my house who's Irish. Right? Yes. And, um.

• 50:02Speaker 01

  Your, your new found, new people.

• 50:04Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, my new found people. Right, I told you.

• 50:06Speaker 01

  Your second family.

• 50:07Drew Afualo?

  My second family, my found family.

• 50:08Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 50:09Drew Afualo?

  She was gonna bring someone over to my house and I was like telling my boyfriend, my boyfriend, hello, my man.

• 50:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:15Drew Afualo?

  I was telling him, um, me workshopping bits to him. I was like, when he comes here, I'm gonna say, nice to meet you. Welcome to America. My name is Drew. He was like, don't, and I was laughing at my own joke.

• 50:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's really funny.

• 50:34Drew Afualo?

  He was like, don't laugh like he's here and you haven't even said it yet. I was like, I'm practicing and it's hilarious. I was like, I'm gonna talk really loud, like he can't understand.

• 50:47Speaker 01

  See, that's, that's good.

• 50:48Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 50:49Speaker 01

  You have to. You do stand up sometimes, right?

• 50:52Drew Afualo?

  I have done stand up a couple times.

• 50:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:54Drew Afualo?

  I, I am no longer pursuing it.

• 50:56Speaker 01

  You're not?

• 50:57Drew Afualo?

  No, but I'll.

• 50:58Speaker 01

  That's a good, that's a good set.

• 50:59Drew Afualo?

  I, you think?

• 51:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's a good set.

• 51:01Drew Afualo?

  I, you know what's funny is like, I, I don't think. I I think what I don't like about stand up for me is having to tour. Because I really don't like touring and I touring it touring is a huge part of it.

• 51:13Speaker 01

  Right, right.

• 51:13Drew Afualo?

  I just have so many things happening right now. I was like, I think no to this. Uh huh. Maybe, maybe in a few years, if I want to, I'll circle back.

• 51:21Speaker 01

  Right, right. You just save these bits.

• 51:22Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 51:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, have your man remember.

• 51:24Drew Afualo?

  TM, by the way.

• 51:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 51:25Drew Afualo?

  Also, Taylor Tomlinson, when I told her, I was like, yeah, sometimes my my stand up friends tell me you should you should try stand up.

• 51:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 51:31Drew Afualo?

  And she's like, don't do that. And I go, you don't think? And she goes, well, that's like going backwards for you. You like cut the line, kind of. And I was like, that's a good point.

• 51:42Speaker 01

  I mean, only if you, you know, only if it interests you. But I just think that's a fun bit that, I don't know, you could, I guess you could, you're doing it on your podcast now.

• 51:50Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 51:51Speaker 01

  But, you know, I just picture it to be like a sketch or even a, I don't know, and then you could stretch it into a movie. I don't know.

• 51:57Drew Afualo?

  Oh, you're giving me ideas.

• 51:58Speaker 01

  You know what I mean? Like, every idea can be used and reused in different formats.

• 52:03Drew Afualo?

  Eh, absolutely. Look at you.

• 52:06Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 52:06Drew Afualo?

  We should be in a movie together.

• 52:07Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 52:08Drew Afualo?

  You and I.

• 52:08Speaker 01

  I was, I was, yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll think. Where do we want to go? Let's start with a location.

• 52:14Drew Afualo?

  Let's workshop.

• 52:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 52:15Drew Afualo?

  Um, I think it would be awesome if we did one.

• 52:19Speaker 01

  Disneyland.

• 52:20Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, something, something Disneyland related. I feel like if we did something like, we're like searching for something. Like unexpectedly, we end up on like a treasure hunt of some kind.

• 52:32Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 52:33Drew Afualo?

  I think that would be pretty killer.

• 52:34Speaker 01

  You're gonna make us do physical activity? We're like, you're like, I'm thinking sand. I'm thinking treasure hunt, sun.

• 52:44Drew Afualo?

  I'm thinking like the putting two people that should not be in nature in nature. That's what I'm thinking.

• 52:48Speaker 01

  That would be good.

• 52:49Drew Afualo?

  I think so.

• 52:50Speaker 01

  Us, yeah, us in the forest.

• 52:52Drew Afualo?

  Yes, I think so. We could do like a duo thing.

• 52:56Speaker 01

  So far from SoCal?

• 52:57Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 52:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 52:58Drew Afualo?

  Oh, wow, we got a name already. Workshopping a name. You said so far from SoCal.

• 53:02Speaker 01

  Wow, I didn't even think about how there was two So's in that.

• 53:06Drew Afualo?

  Your mind is working. We're cooking already.

• 53:08Speaker 01

  Oh, my god.

• 53:09Drew Afualo?

  We're cooking with gas. We gotta get your husband.

• 53:12Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 53:13Drew Afualo?

  Harry Styles on it. Maybe he can help finance it for us.

• 53:17Speaker 01

  My grandma was like, once I, oh my god, them in the same room? My grandma might die. She'll literally go cross eyed like, no! He has a twin?

• 53:28Drew Afualo?

  There can't be, there can't be two of you.

• 53:29Speaker 01

  Yes, that's how I felt watching Lost, that scene when that happened, there were two Johns.

• 53:35Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you're like, this can't be real.

• 53:37Speaker 01

  Oh my god.

• 53:37Drew Afualo?

  This can't be true.

• 53:38Speaker 01

  My husband did this thing the other day on the phone, just with, speaking of names and you know, my name isn't difficult and he's been very like, um, he tours with me and it's very nice to have, um, have him because he's very much the advocate for me. Sometimes, you know, even in theaters, sometimes like the tech people might be older and the kind of dinosaurs and, um, you know. We've had instances where we walk into a comedy club when I've been like writing my show still.

• 54:09Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 54:09Speaker 01

  Instead of going to theaters yet, uh, where they welcome my husband, thinking he's the comedian. You know, and so he always has.

• 54:17Drew Afualo?

  His assistant?

• 54:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, and he goes, in what world am I, Otsko Kotska? You know. You know who's coming this weekend.

• 54:25Drew Afualo?

  You think my name's Otsko?

• 54:26Speaker 01

  He was like, this is insane, you think that that would make more sense than having her be the headliner? Like, you did mental gymnastics so hard that.

• 54:35Drew Afualo?

  To try and make that work.

• 54:37Speaker 01

  To make me a white guy, Otsko Kotska, you're sick. You're sick, so he does these things for me or you know.

• 54:44Drew Afualo?

  That's so good, I'm glad.

• 54:45Speaker 01

  Cause sometimes they might not wanna listen to me, you know, with like tech and sound cues and stuff like lighting cues. So he, he will do that. Um, and I caught him on the phone the other day telling, um, uh, a customer service on something. I forget what we were trying to figure out, where he was like, I just heard him go, uh, my wife's name? Otsko Kotska, spelled just like it sounds.

• 55:11Speaker 01

  I was like, damn.

• 55:12Drew Afualo?

  Good for him. Push, yeah.

• 55:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, cause I've always had to explain myself.

• 55:15Drew Afualo?

  That's him using that privilege for good.

• 55:17Speaker 01

  Right, right, totally.

• 55:18Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's what they need to do. They need to be putting in the time, the work.

• 55:21Speaker 01

  Yeah. Naked and unafraid.

• 55:24Drew Afualo?

  Unafraid, for real, and real confident, like, real convicted in it. Even like, sometimes my man, like, I'll have him go tell men certain things, like, if someone's working on something, or I need something done. And I only do that when I feel like I can tell that they don't, they're not really thinking I'm in charge.

• 55:42Speaker 01

  Right.

• 55:42Drew Afualo?

  Like, they're, they're really, like, always going to him. So, sometimes when I want what I want specifically, I'll make him go tell them.

• 55:49Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 55:50Drew Afualo?

  Because I'm like, you do it, because I don't want to fucking, just do it.

• 55:53Speaker 01

  I know.

• 55:53Drew Afualo?

  And then sometimes I have to lay down the hammer, and it has to be me.

• 55:57Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 55:57Drew Afualo?

  Because sometimes I make him do it, because I'm like, if I go over there, then they're gonna say I'm a bitch. And I really don't give a fuck if they do, but let's try the nice way first. We're a real good, good cop, bad cop situation. So it sounds like your husband is me, the bad cop.

• 56:10Speaker 01

  Yes, he's the, yeah, he's the bad cop. He's like, he's like the white people in Minneapolis. You know what I mean?

• 56:15Drew Afualo?

  Hell, yeah.

• 56:16Speaker 01

  He's like the, the white moms in Portland. Yeah.

• 56:19Drew Afualo?

  Period. I love that for him. That's the best. I love that. And I love that he's a white guy doing that.

• 56:26Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 56:27Drew Afualo?

  Especially. That's a great thing. That's a rarity. That's wonderful. Okay, do have some fun facts about you.

• 56:32Speaker 01

  Okay, yes.

• 56:32Drew Afualo?

  Would you like to hear them?

• 56:34Speaker 01

  Okay, yeah, I'm so curious.

• 56:35Drew Afualo?

  Okay. This one says, uh, you once accidentally tried to play a barista, or tried to pay a barista, with fake money from your bachelorette party.

• 56:49Drew Afualo?

  And we have a picture of.

• 56:51Speaker 01

  Oh, my god. Yes. Sometimes, I feel like I, I have amnesia sometimes. That is, that is, that is money from my bachelorette party.

• 57:01Drew Afualo?

  Yeah. You're looking at it.

• 57:03Speaker 01

  My maid of honor maid, that's right.

• 57:05Drew Afualo?

  That's so funny.

• 57:06Speaker 01

  Oh my gosh. The wilder thing is, I mean, I was blackout. But, uh, by the end, but the wilder thing is like, um, we had strippers quote unquote, but I told my maid of honor.

• 57:17Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 57:18Speaker 01

  I said, I would love, um, she was like, who do you, what do you want as entertainment? I said, well, let's do some, let's do representation. I said, I would love an all male strip dance group. I would love, can you find that? You know, I would love an all males Asian strip dance group. And she said, all male, uh, all Asian. She was like, she goes, isn't that the Jabberwockies?

• 57:43Speaker 01

  Bitch. She's.

• 57:47Drew Afualo?

  They have the masks on?

• 57:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I was like, no, no, like sexy, like body rolls.

• 57:52Drew Afualo?

  She goes, oh, the Jabberwockies.

• 57:54Speaker 01

  Body rolls. No, yeah, no. Get me that. She was like, okay. And we were working on a budget, I will admit. I only had five hundred dollars. I was so broke when I got married. And, uh, yeah, so, and then, so then she, she gets dancers in all Asian male dance group.

• 58:13Drew Afualo?

  Okay, period.

• 58:14Speaker 01

  Uh, we, uh, she, so we're doing it, the bachelorette party, again, on a budget. So we're just at an Airbnb in Korea town.

• 58:20Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 58:21Speaker 01

  And she's like, we're drinking, drinking, and she goes, the dancers are here, the dancers are here. I get excited. They sit me down, they blindfold me, and I hear the dancers walking in, I hear them stretching, and, um, I'm excited. They turn on the music, they take the blindfold off. I look up, I see the dancers, I'm like, Chuck Ma? Gio Lee? I know these guys. They are, my maid of honor got our friends.

• 58:51Speaker 01

  To come strip. For my

• 58:54Drew Afualo?

  You said

• 58:54Speaker 01

  Bachelor party. They are on an improv team that I've done shows with. They are UCB improvisers. So they can improvise, they they learn, they choreographed the dance to do. But so and it but and if she had made the fake money, but anyway, that's that's that story.

• 59:14Drew Afualo?

  That's the story of your bachelor.

• 59:15Speaker 01

  So I think I just was like, this is crazy. This is weird. It's so and they were like dancing sexy and stuff. I didn't like it. So I was, I think I drank so much.

• 59:23Drew Afualo?

  Doing it is so funny.

• 59:25Speaker 01

  Oh, my God. They were like doing the robot and stuff. One of them, they were, one of them, uh, like, uh, had the ab roller.

• 59:32Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 59:32Speaker 01

  And like went down and up. As like the sexy move.

• 59:37Drew Afualo?

  He's like doing pushups.

• 59:38Speaker 01

  Jesus Christ.

• 59:39Drew Afualo?

  In front of, you're like, why don't you go fix something that sexy? Go fix that fucking shelf over there. How's that?

• 59:45Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 59:46Drew Afualo?

  They're just doing tasks in front of you.

• 59:48Speaker 01

  Yes, I was like.

• 59:50Drew Afualo?

  As you throw fake money, that's crazy.

• 59:54Speaker 01

  And so I think I got really drunk because I was like, this is weird. And then so I had some of the fake cash. I guess I had put it in my wallet.

• 1:00:00Drew Afualo?

  Oh, and you were like, oh, shit, I'm sorry about that.

• 1:00:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:00:04Drew Afualo?

  Sorry, I'm real thrown off from the improv team that visited me last night.

• 1:00:08Speaker 01

  I'm still traumatized.

• 1:00:09Drew Afualo?

  Sorry about that.

• 1:00:10Speaker 01

  From my friends showing me their taint. Thinking that was hot at all.

• 1:00:15Drew Afualo?

  And fun.

• 1:00:16Speaker 01

  Yeah. I was like, am I a monologist? Am I gonna do a monologue right now? It was very confusing.

• 1:00:22Drew Afualo?

  I literally, um, only went to a strip club one singular time.

• 1:00:28Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah?

• 1:00:29Drew Afualo?

  Well, and the only reason I say that will be my last time is because I went to a male strip club.

• 1:00:35Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 1:00:35Drew Afualo?

  And like, it was a two-story strip club in Vegas. And the bottom floor was women, the top floor was men, and the bottom floor was women was like creep town, USA. Like, it was silent. And it felt like every dude looked like the Penguin. And every and every woman was moving like slow and measured. And then upstairs, like, I was like, that's just like, and I think like an iteration of how men are because upstairs, where there's women, everyone, there's music and everyone's dancing and laughing and having fun and like throwing money, whatever. But it was like truly like one of the most like horrifying nights to me like I just like I found

• 1:01:11Speaker 01

  Even on your floor.

• 1:01:12Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like even on my floor.

• 1:01:13Speaker 01

  Where women, women are creating the vibes.

• 1:01:15Drew Afualo?

  Well, and the vibe was fun. It was like the dance itself, the dancers themselves that I was struggling to really connect with in any way, even if it's just for fun like and I was single at the time. But I, I think I found out in that moment, I should have already known considering how much disdain I had naturally towards men. But I should have already known this, but like I found out in that moment, I was like, I, when men try to be sexy in front of me, it makes me angry. Like I found out very quickly that it irritates the fuck out of me and it's and because I'm so irritated, I can't stay in the fantasy. Because I'm just sitting there irritated as fuck. I'm, I'm literally like, what are you, why are you doing that? Why are you doing that? You should be going to war.

• 1:02:01Speaker 01

  Why are you not, you should be going to war. That's so funny. Far away from me in a different country. Risking your life.

• 1:02:08Drew Afualo?

  You should be somewhere else entirely away from me.

• 1:02:11Speaker 01

  He's like, I, I work here. He's on a pole.

• 1:02:15Drew Afualo?

  I know.

• 1:02:16Speaker 01

  What is that?

• 1:02:16Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, what are you doing? We get down from there. You don't even know these people.

• 1:02:20Speaker 01

  Put a shirt on.

• 1:02:21Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, slut. I started slut shaming him. But I just struggled to, to like even enjoy myself. I also hate being touched by like anyone that isn't my man. So like, which at the time it was no one. So like I, I even like, I don't mind hugs and stuff with friends and all that, but like just generally speaking, I'm not a fan of being touched. So like, there was a lot of touching going on, like of, not of me intentionally, but it was like one of those where they were like rub on me.

• 1:02:49Speaker 01

  Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:50Drew Afualo?

  And a lot of their chests are prickly because they're itchy. And so like, because they're shaving, but they're like, they haven't shaved, yeah, they haven't shaved recently. I guess they just didn't have time for their shift. But it was rubbing all over me, giving me a rash and I was like, and everyone smells weird and I was feeling like, ah.

• 1:03:05Speaker 01

  Oh, my god.

• 1:03:06Drew Afualo?

  And then my mom, my mom was there, mind you.

• 1:03:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:03:10Drew Afualo?

  And she paid for me to get a lap dance on the stage, which was like one of the

• 1:03:15Speaker 01

  First off, of course your mom was there.

• 1:03:17Drew Afualo?

  Of course she was.

• 1:03:17Speaker 01

  I wish I had a family like yours.

• 1:03:21Drew Afualo?

  Of course she was there.

• 1:03:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, very different vibes than my family. Yeah. My family is like the first floor, what you described. That's just the silence, the Penguin vibes. My mom being the Penguin, that was my childhood. Yeah.

• 1:03:37Drew Afualo?

  Oh, man. Well, no wonder you're funny.

• 1:03:40Speaker 01

  I needed, I mean, the second floor sounds incredible compared to, anyway, what.

• 1:03:46Drew Afualo?

  You're right, it was better.

• 1:03:47Speaker 01

  So your mom was there?

• 1:03:48Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, well, my mom was there. She paid for me to get a lap, because it was my birthday. It was my 21st birthday. So like, I got a lap dance on the stage and it was a humongous white guy. Like, he was so tall, like, big dude. And he, um, was.

• 1:04:01Speaker 01

  Your fear, a fear.

• 1:04:02Drew Afualo?

  My, again, fear.

• 1:04:03Speaker 01

  Is this where you developed your fear, maybe?

• 1:04:04Drew Afualo?

  Man and huge.

• 1:04:05Speaker 01

  Maybe you developed it, I mean.

• 1:04:07Drew Afualo?

  Listen.

• 1:04:08Speaker 01

  Who knows? Okay, so he, okay.

• 1:04:09Drew Afualo?

  He's there, he's dressed as a construction worker.

• 1:04:12Speaker 01

  Right. He's white, so you're like, is this Daisy?

• 1:04:15Drew Afualo?

  I'm like, this is Paul Mescal.

• 1:04:16Speaker 01

  Paul, oh, that, yeah.

• 1:04:17Drew Afualo?

  Obviously, I knew that. I knew it was him. I knew it. I mean, I knew him before he got big. And he gave, gave me this insane dance, like, to the song Work From Home by Fifth Harmony.

• 1:04:31Speaker 01

  Love that song.

• 1:04:32Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, to that song.

• 1:04:33Speaker 01

  Were you at least, like, feeling that?

• 1:04:34Drew Afualo?

  No, no, I, I was, I was so filled with terror. I felt like I was in the, in, you know, in, uh, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You know, when he goes in that, that cave and then there's like the spinning thing and he's talking. That's how it felt. That my whole experience felt like that.

• 1:04:47Speaker 01

  Oh, my god.

• 1:04:48Drew Afualo?

  But at one point, he asked me if I, um, was afraid of heights and I was like, what?

• 1:04:54Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 1:04:55Drew Afualo?

  I was like, um, not particularly why. And then he, like, bent down and grabbed me around my legs like that. And then turned me back up, upside down. I'm hanging.

• 1:05:05Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:05:06Drew Afualo?

  Like, my, my face to his crotch.

• 1:05:08Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 1:05:09Drew Afualo?

  And he turns around so I can see my sister through my leg, through his legs, not my legs, his legs.

• 1:05:15Speaker 01

  Okay, uh, okay.

• 1:05:17Drew Afualo?

  And he starts shaking me.

• 1:05:18Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:05:18Drew Afualo?

  Like he was trying to shake change out of my pockets.

• 1:05:21Speaker 01

  First off, that's not height. Li- literally, you're lower than where you were.

• 1:05:25Drew Afualo?

  That's what the fuck I said.

• 1:05:27Speaker 01

  Your head is.

• 1:05:27Drew Afualo?

  I didn't get that joke at all.

• 1:05:29Speaker 01

  Wow. He means, do, do your feet, like, height?

• 1:05:32Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:33Speaker 01

  Because your, your feet was high up.

• 1:05:35Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, my.

• 1:05:35Speaker 01

  Your head near the ground.

• 1:05:37Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, my, my head, I'd like, crotch right here.

• 1:05:40Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 1:05:41Drew Afualo?

  And then, like, when I slid.

• 1:05:42Speaker 01

  Shaking you?

• 1:05:43Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like, he was literally like. The motion was like this.

• 1:05:46Speaker 01

  Like a piano metronome?

• 1:05:49Drew Afualo?

  Yes, exactly.

• 1:05:51Speaker 01

  Oh my god.

• 1:05:51Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, can you imagine? So I, my big ass being held in the air like that.

• 1:05:55Speaker 01

  Right, also, plot twist, your sister also there?

• 1:05:58Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 1:05:59Speaker 01

  I mean, it's your birthday, I guess.

• 1:06:00Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, my sister also there. My sister, tears streaming down her face, she was laughing so hard.

• 1:06:04Speaker 01

  Oh my god.

• 1:06:05Drew Afualo?

  That was the worst night of my life and the best night of hers.

• 1:06:07Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 1:06:08Drew Afualo?

  So it was a real bummer, all around.

• 1:06:10Speaker 01

  I quite like entertainment, so I love like a, I love, you know.

• 1:06:15Drew Afualo?

  Oh, hell yeah.

• 1:06:16Speaker 01

  Stripper.

• 1:06:17Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, I love that.

• 1:06:18Drew Afualo?

  Have you been to Medieval Times?

• 1:06:19Speaker 01

  Oh, I would love that.

• 1:06:20Drew Afualo?

  You should go there.

• 1:06:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, screaming for a team?

• 1:06:23Drew Afualo?

  There's a lot of interaction, hell yeah. Yeah, you could cheer them on, and you eat with your hands.

• 1:06:27Speaker 01

  Yes, Magic Mike Live is like that, too.

• 1:06:29Drew Afualo?

  Oh, how was Magic Mike Live?

• 1:06:31Speaker 01

  I think you would enjoy it.

• 1:06:31Drew Afualo?

  You think?

• 1:06:32Speaker 01

  I've gone three times.

• 1:06:34Drew Afualo?

  Why are you going?

• 1:06:35Speaker 01

  I'm insane, well, I'm friends with the Asian Magic Mike, and so the first time I was like, this is for representation.

• 1:06:43Drew Afualo?

  The first time that was for that?

• 1:06:44Speaker 01

  First time, and then the second time was for me and my husband's anniversary.

• 1:06:48Drew Afualo?

  Oh, how did he enjoy it?

• 1:06:51Speaker 01

  I got us tickets because, you know, he, well, you know, I'm friends with Patrick, the Asian one.

• 1:06:57Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 1:06:57Speaker 01

  So he's like, oh, it's your anniversary, great, we got you, VIP seats, make sure you sit in these seats, though, okay? You have to stay put, there's a surprise. And so, me and Ryan sit in those seats, and during one of the dances, turns out, we were in, I'm in the wrong seat. They wanted me, Ryan got the seat I was supposed to have.

• 1:07:16Drew Afualo?

  Damn.

• 1:07:16Speaker 01

  So, there's a solo dance happening by one of the dancers, he's hitting his beat.

• 1:07:24Speaker 01

  And it turns around, lands right in front of Ryan. And, his next cue is to take his pants off. And so, Ryan, it's just boom, the crotch in front of Ryan, and Ryan, in that moment, it's thousands, it's like hundreds of girls pissed. They're like.

• 1:07:42Drew Afualo?

  Why him?

• 1:07:43Speaker 01

  Yes. Why not someone that would enjoy this? What the fuck? Why him?

• 1:07:49Drew Afualo?

  The fuck? Him being just sitting, but I.

• 1:07:54Speaker 01

  Yes. Girls are like, what is this? This is rigged. Excuse me. And so, um, my husband in that moment just like leans in and is like, give it to me. And, you know, just to like, to be like, yes, I'm into this. I'm sorry that I took this one solo dance. But, um, so that's the second time. And the third time I brought my grandma.

• 1:08:14Drew Afualo?

  Oh, and how did she enjoy it?

• 1:08:16Speaker 01

  She, she liked it. She liked it. Um, we, there's fake money involved too, for effect. It's great. It's very, it's very like female led. The host is a woman.

• 1:08:26Drew Afualo?

  Love.

• 1:08:27Speaker 01

  Um, and also there's a safe word even.

• 1:08:30Drew Afualo?

  Oh, okay. So if you're uncomfortable.

• 1:08:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, like the dancers coming up to you, you, you don't like it. You just say the word unicorn and then they, they're professionals about it.

• 1:08:39Drew Afualo?

  They'll just body roll away from you.

• 1:08:40Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:08:41Drew Afualo?

  And go get it to someone more deserving.

• 1:08:43Speaker 01

  Yes, like my husband.

• 1:08:44Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 1:08:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:08:47Drew Afualo?

  I love.

• 1:08:47Speaker 01

  I think you might like Magic Mike.

• 1:08:49Drew Afualo?

  I think you would be the best audience member for any performer. I feel like you would be like just the best person to perform.

• 1:08:57Speaker 01

  Energy.

• 1:08:58Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you're very involved and participatory. I love that about you.

• 1:09:02Speaker 01

  You would probably like that too, no?

• 1:09:03Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, I like that. I'm like that. Unless it involves me being involved in it.

• 1:09:08Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:09:08Drew Afualo?

  Then I'm kind of like, I'm good.

• 1:09:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, and when you're being shaken, you don't want to be shaken.

• 1:09:11Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I, I'd be happy to cheer. I'm, I'm lo-, I love a good cheer. I love to be a cheerleader.

• 1:09:16Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:09:17Drew Afualo?

  So maybe for that reason, hell yeah.

• 1:09:19Speaker 01

  Whole families go together.

• 1:09:21Drew Afualo?

  That's crazy.

• 1:09:21Speaker 01

  I mean, I brought my grandma.

• 1:09:23Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, hell yeah. I think that's beautiful.

• 1:09:26Speaker 01

  I'll hook you up.

• 1:09:27Drew Afualo?

  I have, oh yeah, please do. It seems like you, it seems like you're a frequent flyer over there.

• 1:09:31Speaker 01

  Yes, I have hookups to that. And Blue Man Group, uh, these are my friends. And, and Lil Jon. You choose. Those are the only three.

• 1:09:39Drew Afualo?

  So I got Blue Man Group, Lil Jon, and Magic Mike Live.

• 1:09:42Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 1:09:42Drew Afualo?

  Any plug you need, I got it.

• 1:09:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:09:47Drew Afualo?

  Okay. Uh, this next one says you and your husband had to get married at City Hall seven years after your wedding because they accidentally didn't file your marriage certificate.

• 1:09:56Speaker 01

  That's right, yeah.

• 1:09:58Drew Afualo?

  How'd you find that out?

• 1:09:59Speaker 01

  It was, I was trying to get, I was trying to get my husband on my health insurance. I finally got health insurance, you know, through SAG. And so I was like, and I found out you could put a dependent on there or whatever.

• 1:10:11Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:11Speaker 01

  Spouse.

• 1:10:12Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:13Speaker 01

  And he didn't have health insurance, so, uh, but to apply for it, we had to prove we were married. And I was like, no problem. We had a wedding and we have photos. Is that what you want? Photos from the wedding?

• 1:10:29Drew Afualo?

  Photo evidence?

• 1:10:30Speaker 01

  I, picture of my ring?

• 1:10:33Speaker 01

  And they're like, no, no, we need your wedding certificate.

• 1:10:36Drew Afualo?

  Oh.

• 1:10:37Speaker 01

  Marriage certificate.

• 1:10:38Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:39Speaker 01

  I said, oh, yeah, sure we have that. Couldn't find it, so then we were like, okay, uh, we'll, uh, we'll go to like, we'll call City Hall.

• 1:10:50Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:50Speaker 01

  Right? We call City Hall, they're having a hard time. My brother-in-law, my husband's, um, brother is a lawyer. So he was like, oh, um, let me talk to City Hall, Nancy at City Hall, who you've been talking to. Uh, and it's anyway, so they get on the phone, they call us, okay? So it's Nancy at City Hall and my brother-in-law. They're laughing. And we pick up, we're like, what's, what's going on? And they're like, he goes, Nancy, tell my sister-in-law and my brother what you just told me. And she goes, yeah. Y'all aren't married.

• 1:11:25Speaker 01

  And we're like, what? She's like, there's no record of you guys ever having gotten married. She goes, Atsuko, you don't have a husband. I said, I'm so sorry, we've just been boyfriend and girlfriend. This whole time? This whole time? It was a, a devastating realization. I said, this is the second time I, I've been undocumented. And

• 1:11:47Drew Afualo?

  They got me again.

• 1:11:48Speaker 01

  They got me again, but this time it was my fault and that is progress. Because the first time was not. The first time my grandma, you know, lied to me about a two month vacation to the US. This time, you know, it's because I had party too hard at the wedding. Apparently, so make sure you do this. I mean, your whole family is there. Your whole family makes sure you're okay, which is so good.

• 1:12:11Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:12Speaker 01

  Um, but you know, you're supposed to like sign.

• 1:12:15Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you're supposed to get like pre-married before you go do your wedding.

• 1:12:18Speaker 01

  But even after the wedding, there's like two witnesses that are supposed to sit there and then you sign and that that piece has to be taken in.

• 1:12:26Drew Afualo?

  To the city hall.

• 1:12:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:12:28Drew Afualo?

  Interesting. Good to know.

• 1:12:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:12:30Drew Afualo?

  Just so I don't get caught seven years later too.

• 1:12:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, because we've been paying taxes as married the whole time too. And we weren't.

• 1:12:38Drew Afualo?

  That's a fucking joke.

• 1:12:40Speaker 01

  That we had to do that?

• 1:12:41Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, well, no, I mean, like the fact that they fucked up your marriage certificate. Well, I guess you didn't sign it, but still, I'm gonna blame city hall.

• 1:12:47Speaker 01

  We just forgot to turn it in, but apparently the officiant does it and I don't know, it's confusing. Our officiant was also blackout. That night, he's a one of my best friends.

• 1:12:56Drew Afualo?

  We were just dancing. No one can be held responsible. We were having the night of our lives.

• 1:13:00Speaker 01

  So make sure you you turn that paper in, whatever it is. I'm sure you all, they know, your whole family, yeah.

• 1:13:07Drew Afualo?

  Okay, this one says you met your fifty year old half brother for the first time at a ninja theme park in Japan.

• 1:13:15Speaker 01

  That's right, yeah, last last year.

• 1:13:17Drew Afualo?

  That's crazy. Just randomly?

• 1:13:20Speaker 01

  We had planned to meet there.

• 1:13:23Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 1:13:23Speaker 01

  My dad, um, and him had reconnected.

• 1:13:27Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 1:13:27Speaker 01

  I never met him before. Uh, he's from, my brother is from my dad's first marriage. And, uh, yeah, I was like, well, I wanna meet him. I didn't know.

• 1:13:39Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:40Speaker 01

  I didn't really know about him, so. I I got nervous, you know, meeting a whole sibling I'd never met before. I've always wanted siblings, you know.

• 1:13:49Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:13:50Speaker 01

  Uh, with the silent household I grew up in.

• 1:13:52Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:13:53Speaker 01

  And, uh, so I I I, we had planned to do dinner, but as the date came closer, I I got cold feet, so I was like, I I think I'm gonna cancel. And my dad was like, please don't cancel, like, what are me and him gonna talk about? He he didn't want me there. I said, you already met up with him. He said, I know, it was weird. I need you there.

• 1:14:16Drew Afualo?

  We need you there. I need a buffer.

• 1:14:18Speaker 01

  He's like, you're the fun one. I was like, oh, how unfortunate. Of course, you know what I mean? Like, nobody in my family likes to talk.

• 1:14:25Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:14:26Speaker 01

  So I was like, okay, I'll go, but um, I'm gonna need distractions.

• 1:14:31Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:31Speaker 01

  Like if, you know, my Japanese isn't even that good. Like, if you're gonna make me go through with this, we're gonna meet at this ninja samurai theme park that I've been wanting to go to, you know?

• 1:14:42Drew Afualo?

  So I can check a couple items off my list.

• 1:14:44Speaker 01

  Oh, yes, thank you.

• 1:14:46Drew Afualo?

  Like while I'm there.

• 1:14:47Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:14:47Drew Afualo?

  Doing this favor for y'all.

• 1:14:49Speaker 01

  I can't think of a better way to meet a man I've never met before than, you know, there are rides, there are people in character, uh, there are scare actors that chase you around, a show that happens every hour. I said, this is perfect. We will never have to talk.

• 1:15:09Drew Afualo?

  We can keep it moving.

• 1:15:10Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:15:11Drew Afualo?

  I was gonna ask you, how was the theme park? Was it fun?

• 1:15:14Speaker 01

  It's incredible. It's like Edo period themed, so it's like Shogun, the TV show.

• 1:15:19Drew Afualo?

  Oh, okay, yeah.

• 1:15:20Speaker 01

  If it was a theme park.

• 1:15:21Drew Afualo?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:15:22Speaker 01

  So everyone's in character of that time.

• 1:15:24Drew Afualo?

  Okay.

• 1:15:24Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, there's like literal ninja houses that you could like train to be ninjas at.

• 1:15:31Drew Afualo?

  What?

• 1:15:32Speaker 01

  Samurai's.

• 1:15:34Drew Afualo?

  That's so cool.

• 1:15:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:15:35Drew Afualo?

  What a genius idea.

• 1:15:36Speaker 01

  And you know, like, we love theme parks.

• 1:15:38Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 1:15:38Speaker 01

  And so I suggest even, you know, after doing that, I was like, anytime you need to have a difficult conversation with someone, take them to a theme park.

• 1:15:47Drew Afualo?

  That's so, that's great advice.

• 1:15:49Speaker 01

  Then while you're at the top of like the ride and you're about to drop, that's when you break the news. Like, I want a divorce. Ah, you know, whatever it is, whatever, then it's easy, it's softer for them too.

• 1:16:02Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, it softens it a little bit. And then they're like, what'd you say? And you're like, you heard me.

• 1:16:07Speaker 01

  Let's go again.

• 1:16:08Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, they're like, what'd you say? You're like, let's go back on another ride. I'll tell you again.

• 1:16:11Speaker 01

  Is that Mickey?

• 1:16:14Speaker 01

  You know?

• 1:16:15Drew Afualo?

  That's a genius one. I you're the way your mind works.

• 1:16:18Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 1:16:18Drew Afualo?

  It fascinates me. Okay, last fun one. It says, you are going to be the parade grand marshal of the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival this month.

• 1:16:27Speaker 01

  That's right, yeah.

• 1:16:28Drew Afualo?

  That is so cool.

• 1:16:29Speaker 01

  In Japan town.

• 1:16:30Drew Afualo?

  How fun. Have you ever been a grand marshal?

• 1:16:33Speaker 01

  I have never. Have you?

• 1:16:35Drew Afualo?

  No.

• 1:16:35Speaker 01

  I don't even know what what do we do? I'm not sure what it entails. Do I wave?

• 1:16:39Drew Afualo?

  Probably. It's probably a lot of waving and like maybe at the front of the parade. Maybe you're on a float.

• 1:16:46Speaker 01

  I would love to be marching. Is am I picturing it wrong? I want a whistle.

• 1:16:53Drew Afualo?

  I yeah, I said, I think you're right. I'll agree with you. I agree with you. I think that's a great idea. You should lead it.

• 1:17:00Speaker 01

  Like a leading, right.

• 1:17:01Drew Afualo?

  Totally.

• 1:17:02Speaker 01

  I don't know the path. I don't live there.

• 1:17:06Drew Afualo?

  They just let you go and you just kind of figure it out as you go.

• 1:17:09Speaker 01

  Love that.

• 1:17:10Drew Afualo?

  Oh, I think that's so. How fun.

• 1:17:12Speaker 01

  Yes, to I mean, they they tried to get me last year, but I I was like, oh, I don't know. I don't know what it is. And people were like, this is kind of a big deal. It's like your community being like, you're gonna be grand marshaling this, you know, very like cultural event that happens for Japanese Americans in, you know, there's only two Japan towns left in the United States and one is San Francisco and then the other one is LA. So, you know, a lot of them um kind of went away after Japanese internment.

• 1:17:43Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:44Speaker 01

  And so they're like, it's kind of a big deal. I was like, okay. I said, who who was the grand marshal last time? This is how very few Japanese people live in America.

• 1:17:53Drew Afualo?

  I have no clue.

• 1:17:54Speaker 01

  It was Hello Kitty.

• 1:17:59Drew Afualo?

  I never would.

• 1:18:00Speaker 01

  I said, a cartoon character, a cartoon character was the grand marshal.

• 1:18:04Drew Afualo?

  Hello Kitty, what big shoes to fill you have.

• 1:18:07Speaker 01

  Yes. I said, what, you run out of people? Oh, last year it was. Ran out of people.

• 1:18:14Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, they literally said, well, what's Sanrio got going on?

• 1:18:17Speaker 01

  Osko said, no, so uh can we do Hello Kitty?

• 1:18:25Drew Afualo?

  Let's ask Karopi, why not?

• 1:18:26Speaker 01

  But I guess Hello Kitty is a girl, do you know her lore? You have to.

• 1:18:30Drew Afualo?

  I, I, I know she's three apples tall.

• 1:18:32Speaker 01

  Yes, and that she's actually, she's not a cat, she's a girl.

• 1:18:36Drew Afualo?

  I didn't know that, no. I did not know that.

• 1:18:39Speaker 01

  Do you know this? They're all nodding.

• 1:18:42Speaker 01

  She's wearing a costume, they claim.

• 1:18:44Drew Afualo?

  Are they all wearing costumes?

• 1:18:48Drew Afualo?

  So she's a furry?

• 1:18:49Speaker 01

  So the, they claim it, not just the girl, she is a, a British girl. Named Kitty, is that right? And she is also, now picture, a British girl. Okay, she's not a cat. She's just dressed as one. But still she is three apples tall. And weighs how many apples?

• 1:19:11Speaker 02

  She lives in a, she's a girl who lives in a London suburb with her family.

• 1:19:15Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:19:15Drew Afualo?

  And she just dresses as a Japanese cat for fun?

• 1:19:18Speaker 01

  Uh huh, and please remind us, how, how many apples does she weigh?

• 1:19:25Speaker 01

  Because it, they weighed her via apples too, for some reason because.

• 1:19:30Drew Afualo?

  They're violating her HIPAA rights.

• 1:19:33Speaker 02

  She weighs three apples, she's five apples tall.

• 1:19:36Drew Afualo?

  Oh, five apples tall.

• 1:19:38Speaker 01

  Now, we don't mean this. We don't mean this. Does, the math makes sense? If you're five apples tall, and I know you're afraid of tall people.

• 1:19:49Speaker 01

  Five apples tall, but then, wouldn't you, maybe, wouldn't you weigh at least five apples? Or am I crazy?

• 1:19:57Drew Afualo?

  I, I don't think you're crazy, I think that they're like, well she can't be fat. She can be a white girl dressing as a cat, but she cannot be fat.

• 1:20:04Speaker 01

  So five apples is like this, this tall? I don't know, am I insane? Like this, right?

• 1:20:10Drew Afualo?

  You're asking me, like I should know.

• 1:20:11Speaker 01

  She's a human, she's a human girl.

• 1:20:13Drew Afualo?

  A human that is five apples tall.

• 1:20:16Speaker 01

  And, but three, only weighs three? We need to get this girl to a hu- a hospital. Right, aren't you concerned about her health?

• 1:20:26Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's underweight. That's not good. We gotta check in on her. Make sure she's doing alright.

• 1:20:33Speaker 01

  I mean, not to, you know, all bodies are beautiful, but. Five apples.

• 1:20:36Drew Afualo?

  Five apples, yeah, she's itty bitty. Well, how big are the apples? I guess.

• 1:20:42Speaker 01

  Also, why apples? Are cats known to like apples? British people, a British, is apples a British fruit?

• 1:20:50Drew Afualo?

  Don't know, to be honest.

• 1:20:52Speaker 01

  This is when I know sometimes my people, the Japanese people are just trying to fuck with people. I'm like, this is the lore?

• 1:21:00Drew Afualo?

  And everybody's eating it up. What about all the other characters in the Sanrio universe? Are they also in costume?

• 1:21:06Speaker 01

  I don't, they are? I didn't know that.

• 1:21:08Speaker 02

  She has a twin sister.

• 1:21:10Speaker 01

  Twin sister?

• 1:21:11Drew Afualo?

  Is it like, wait, so like-

• 1:21:13Speaker 01

  What's her name?

• 1:21:14Speaker 02

  Mimi? Mimi?

• 1:21:16Drew Afualo?

  Mimi, it's Mimi.

• 1:21:18Speaker 01

  What's their last name? Hello?

• 1:21:21Speaker 02

  Kitty White.

• 1:21:24Speaker 01

  Kitty and Mimi White? It's like you and your sister, that could be, y'all could go as cats?

• 1:21:28Drew Afualo?

  Even Hello Kitty, I'm gonna get her confused now. Now, now that you told me she's white, now I'm gonna get her confused.

• 1:21:34Speaker 01

  Oh my god, I mean-

• 1:21:35Drew Afualo?

  Now I'm gonna think she's Paddington or something.

• 1:21:37Speaker 01

  Why would I you get them confused? Because what's the difference? I think one has a yellow nose and one has a black nose or something?

• 1:21:44Drew Afualo?

  What are they, Chip and Dale? Chip and Dale are different color noses.

• 1:21:48Speaker 01

  Oh my god, yeah, no, yeah, twins, yeah.

• 1:21:49Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:21:50Speaker 01

  Oh, I made the mistake of call, I thought they were squirrels.

• 1:21:53Drew Afualo?

  You know what's funny is-

• 1:21:54Speaker 01

  I told them that to their face. I said, "I love you squirrels," and they were like... Cause you know, they can't talk, they're like...

• 1:22:03Speaker 01

  I was like, "What, what, wha- what's wrong?"

• 1:22:05Drew Afualo?

  Sorry squirrel, my bad.

• 1:22:09Speaker 01

  And then their handler was like, "Chipmunks."

• 1:22:12Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's their-

• 1:22:13Speaker 01

  You're chipmunks.

• 1:22:13Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, that's actually their last-

• 1:22:14Speaker 01

  Oh, I'm so sorry.

• 1:22:17Speaker 01

  I thought they were boys. I thought they were British boys.

• 1:22:21Drew Afualo?

  I thought they were British boys that are five apples tall. Honestly.

• 1:22:25Speaker 01

  So anyway, that's who grand marshaled before me.

• 1:22:28Drew Afualo?

  The one and only British Hello Kitty.

• 1:22:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:22:31Drew Afualo?

  You know, when I took, uh, my man to Disneyland once, we went into like, uh, one of those... Uh, it was like the storyteller cafe or whatever, where they have the characters walk around, like while you're eating.

• 1:22:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:22:42Drew Afualo?

  And, um, Chip and Dale were around. And then uh my man goes, what are those like squirrels? Like what are those? Like this and he kept saying that he was like those little like rat things like what are those? I was like they're chipmunks. He goes, no, they're not. And I go, yes, they are.

• 1:22:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:22:57Drew Afualo?

  You just said you don't know and now you're telling me I don't know? And I was like their names are Chip and Dale. And he goes, well, how do you know they're chipmunks? I go, their last name is Chipmunk.

• 1:23:06Speaker 01

  I didn't know that.

• 1:23:07Drew Afualo?

  I did context clues. Their name is in, it's in the name like.

• 1:23:10Speaker 01

  Wait, so was he not as into like Disneyland stories and lore as you?

• 1:23:14Drew Afualo?

  Not really, no. He like, he didn't really watch anything that much like, like that was popular for kids at the time. Like he mostly watched animal stuff, like nature stuff.

• 1:23:22Speaker 01

  Really?

• 1:23:23Drew Afualo?

  Steve Irwin like.

• 1:23:24Speaker 01

  Oh wow.

• 1:23:24Drew Afualo?

  That was like his favorite and dinosaurs. Like he loved dinosaurs nerd.

• 1:23:28Speaker 01

  That's kind of my demographic. Like if there are straight men at my shows, they're paleontologists.

• 1:23:35Speaker 01

  I've been getting a lot of rocks after my shows. Trust me, I have a lot of rocks and they're like, this one was found in the dinosaur mouth of our state dinosaur. I said state dinosaur. My audience is expanding. It's gays, women and paleontologists.

• 1:23:51Drew Afualo?

  I got a lot of rocks given to me.

• 1:23:54Speaker 01

  But they're very sweet. They're very sweet.

• 1:23:56Drew Afualo?

  They are very sweet.

• 1:23:57Speaker 01

  These are not men that, you know, are in the like comment section being hateful.

• 1:24:02Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, they're not, they're not threatening at all. That's why like my, my man wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time.

• 1:24:07Speaker 01

  That's so wild.

• 1:24:08Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, he wanted to be a paleontologist growing up and then eventually was like, hmm, I think I'll do something else. But like he loved dinosaurs.

• 1:24:16Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 1:24:17Drew Afualo?

  Loved them. So I have seen the new dinosaur Netflix documentary. Have you watched it?

• 1:24:21Speaker 01

  I haven't, no.

• 1:24:22Drew Afualo?

  It's really good. It's narrated by Morgan Freeman. So.

• 1:24:25Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:24:25Drew Afualo?

  Very cool. But he really wanted to watch it when it came out. He's like, can we watch this? I was like, yeah, why not? And it was beautiful.

• 1:24:33Speaker 01

  There's, I mean, I guess it's like Jurassic Park is the only dinosaur ride I can think of.

• 1:24:39Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, like the, the one at, in Orlando?

• 1:24:42Speaker 01

  Orlando, yeah.

• 1:24:44Drew Afualo?

  Oh, there's one, yeah, there's one here too. That's right. I forgot about that one. I love that.

• 1:24:48Speaker 01

  You ever been on the ET ride?

• 1:24:50Drew Afualo?

  Oh my gosh, in Orlando?

• 1:24:51Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:24:52Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 1:24:52Speaker 01

  Did your family have a hard time too on that ride? Because you know how you tell them your names?

• 1:24:58Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:24:59Speaker 01

  There's three people per bu- uh, per-

• 1:25:01Drew Afualo?

  Yes.

• 1:25:03Speaker 01

  What is it? There's three bicycles.

• 1:25:05Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, three bicy- yeah, per row.

• 1:25:06Speaker 01

  My grandma, my name is Otsko Kotska.

• 1:25:09Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:09Speaker 01

  My grandma's name is Ying Shi Li. And my mom just goes by Linda.

• 1:25:16Drew Afualo?

  So they go Linda, Linda, Linda.

• 1:25:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, and at the end, ET waves goodbye and says your names.

• 1:25:20Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:25:20Speaker 01

  When I say my family broke ET. He was like, goodbye, goodbye.

• 1:25:28Drew Afualo?

  He's just saying gibberish.

• 1:25:31Speaker 01

  I just go, I just, goodbye Linda.

• 1:25:37Speaker 01

  As a kid, traumatized. Traum- only to find out it was just a man in the back.

• 1:25:44Drew Afualo?

  Just like doing his best.

• 1:25:45Speaker 01

  That day was like, fuck.

• 1:25:49Drew Afualo?

  Fuck.

• 1:25:49Speaker 01

  He's like, I'm gonna act broken today. I'm just gonna act broken.

• 1:25:54Drew Afualo?

  Coward.

• 1:25:56Speaker 01

  They were able to say your names?

• 1:25:57Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, well, I, what I remember when we went on it, I think they only said like two of the names.

• 1:26:03Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:26:03Drew Afualo?

  But we didn't know they did that.

• 1:26:05Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:26:05Drew Afualo?

  So when they said, one of the names they said was our friend Steven and he was with us and we, he was like, bye Steven, whatever. And then we said that, we literally were like, ew. What is that? Daisy goes, no, I think he said that. And we're like, who is that? Like, we were just talking mad shit on it. So whoever was back there was probably like, like it was trying to be a magical moment, but we thought someone was like watching us.

• 1:26:29Speaker 01

  You didn't know it was ET?

• 1:26:31Drew Afualo?

  No, like, we, we heard it come from ET, but we were like, there's no way that he knows anyone's name, so it has to be a person. And that'd be weird, like, we, we're just getting cagey all of a sudden.

• 1:26:40Speaker 01

  Oh my god, bullies over here.

• 1:26:43Drew Afualo?

  And I think that was us being haters because we didn't get our names.

• 1:26:46Speaker 01

  Of course, yeah.

• 1:26:47Drew Afualo?

  I loved that ride, though.

• 1:26:49Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:26:49Drew Afualo?

  It's so cute.

• 1:26:50Speaker 01

  They don't have it at, in LA.

• 1:26:52Drew Afualo?

  No.

• 1:26:52Speaker 01

  Anymore.

• 1:26:53Drew Afualo?

  It's so cool and it's like, uh, it feels so old when you're on it now. Because I rode it literally last year, like, I'd never been on that ride before.

• 1:27:01Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:27:01Drew Afualo?

  And it was, it's so old and like all of the, like, creation of it, but it looks so awesome. So fun. And the air conditioning's popping on that ride.

• 1:27:10Speaker 01

  I need to go to the Florida one. Are you at a theme park every week?

• 1:27:13Drew Afualo?

  No.

• 1:27:14Speaker 01

  Oh, once a month?

• 1:27:16Drew Afualo?

  No, I try I try to go when I can, but I'm so busy. I used to and I don't have a pass anymore cuz I'm too busy now. But I did, we did like a big trip for my brother's twenty first birthday last year. He said he wanted to go to Disney World and he wanted to drink around the world.

• 1:27:31Speaker 01

  Yeah. And we did. Done that. I've never gone to Disney World.

• 1:27:35Drew Afualo?

  Oh, my god.

• 1:27:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:27:36Drew Afualo?

  Otsko, we should go together.

• 1:27:36Speaker 01

  Yes, okay.

• 1:27:37Drew Afualo?

  And we should do a tour because there the tours over there are killer.

• 1:27:41Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 1:27:42Drew Afualo?

  They're fucking awesome.

• 1:27:43Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:27:43Drew Afualo?

  And we tried to do, we tried to do Epcot, like we tried to do Drink Around the World, but we didn't do it till the end of the day. And we only made it to two countries and then we were like, Let's go sit down, it's hot.

• 1:27:54Speaker 01

  So what's drink around the world?

• 1:27:56Drew Afualo?

  Basically, in Epcot, they have all of the countries in a big circle like that. So you basically go to each country and get one drink and you drink all the way around the world.

• 1:28:06Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:28:06Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:28:07Speaker 01

  And do people ever just get messy?

• 1:28:09Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, absolutely. That's like the fun of it, I guess. But we, the first time I ever did that was like a few years ago. And my brother couldn't go to that trip when we went cuz he had football in school. And so that's why he wanted to go last year for his twenty first birthday. But we tried it, the first time I went, we got pretty, I think we got like a quarter of the way through. I think we made it to Japan. Like Japan's there. I think that was the last drink I had. And then after that, I was so fucked up and and hot. I like was like, I need to sit down. And eat something.

• 1:28:38Speaker 01

  Where do you start? I'm so curious.

• 1:28:40Drew Afualo?

  There's two, there's two different like starting ends. So there's Canada on one side and there's Mexico on the other.

• 1:28:45Speaker 01

  Ooh, did you start at Mexico?

• 1:28:47Drew Afualo?

  The first time we started at Canada. And then we got all the way to Japan, which is like a quarter of the way up, I think. And then This time we went to Mexico and we went backwards.

• 1:28:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:28:56Drew Afualo?

  And then we were like, I just can't even do this.

• 1:28:59Speaker 01

  So fun.

• 1:29:00Drew Afualo?

  It's really fun.

• 1:29:01Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:29:02Drew Afualo?

  We gotta do it together.

• 1:29:03Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:29:03Drew Afualo?

  I think we'll have a blast. You talk about blackout. You have blackout there.

• 1:29:06Speaker 01

  Oh, my god. I'm like, I'm in Mexico. I'm still here.

• 1:29:13Drew Afualo?

  You never make it past Mexico.

• 1:29:14Speaker 01

  Oh, I know I won't. I said, oh, I want to start on that side, Canada.

• 1:29:18Drew Afualo?

  Yeah, you gotta start there, work your way up. We learned a different method because I think we were all getting our own full drinks and trying to finish them before the next

• 1:29:26Speaker 01

  Oh, Jesus.

• 1:29:27Drew Afualo?

  country the first time I went. So I think that's why I got so fucked up. And then now I think they say like if you get one and you share it with one other person, you'll last a little bit longer.

• 1:29:36Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:29:36Drew Afualo?

  But it's per your discretion how you want to drink around the world.

• 1:29:39Speaker 01

  That's so wild. It's very Florida.

• 1:29:41Drew Afualo?

  Yeah.

• 1:29:41Speaker 01

  It's very Florida Disney.

• 1:29:43Drew Afualo?

  It's so Florida.

• 1:29:43Speaker 01

  The LA one is like, look, good luck finding alcohol. You know what I mean? LA is very like.

• 1:29:50Drew Afualo?

  I think it's around here somewhere.

• 1:29:52Speaker 01

  Totally, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You need to know someone.

• 1:29:55Drew Afualo?

  That's true.

• 1:29:56Speaker 01
