2:30 Andrew Santino? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Junior. My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth. I say that for all my guests, but I mean it once again today, it's Aaron Chen.
2:36 Speaker 08 Hello Andrew, how you doing?
2:38 Andrew Santino? How did that sound? That sound good? Aaron Chen.
2:40 Speaker 08 It sounded really good and thanks for saying what you just said.
2:43 Andrew Santino? Maybe that's your SNL in Aaron Chen.
2:47 Speaker 08 Yeah. Is that still Daryl Hammond?
2:50 Andrew Santino? I think so, right? It's gotta be, isn't it still Daryl Hammond? I feel like it's gotta be.
2:54 Speaker 08 Does he come in and do it or does?
2:56 Andrew Santino? I'm sure he does it from his house.
2:57 Speaker 08 Yeah.
2:57 Andrew Santino? I'm sure they just sent him a mic and goes in his bathroom. Aaron Chen, musical guest, chumbawumba.
3:05 Speaker 08 I've never met the guy, Daryl Hammond. You haven't met him?
3:08 Andrew Santino? Oh, I have. He's here, he lives here. He's a great guy.
3:10 Speaker 08 He lives in LA.
3:11 Andrew Santino? See, I don't know if he lives here now, but he's here a lot. So I don't know where he resides, but Daryl is around. He was at the store. Weren't you there that night? He was there a week ago. It was like me, Paulie, Jay, Leno. It's kinda crazy.
3:23 Speaker 08 I've never seen his comedy.
3:24 Andrew Santino? Funny guy dude.
3:25 Speaker 08 That's, isn't that crazy? Like he's so famous, you know him from everything, but I just never, never saw him.
3:30 Andrew Santino? Yeah, but also, you know, I'm a little older than you and he was kind of somewhat in my generation of SNL. So it was probably off your radar.
3:41 Speaker 08 I'm from Australia, we don't get much. We got trickles of stuff.
3:44 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you, yeah, you got the television show Trickles?
3:47 Speaker 08 Trickles, yeah.
3:48 Andrew Santino? What a great show that is.
3:49 Speaker 08 We actually mainly got Frasier. That was like a big television show in Australia.
3:54 Andrew Santino? Really?
3:55 Speaker 08 Frasier.
3:55 Andrew Santino? Did you like Frasier?
3:58 Speaker 08 I mean, I was like seven, I couldn't relate to this guy.
4:01 Andrew Santino? You couldn't relate to this white guy in an office?
4:02 Speaker 08 Who likes salad and scrambled eggs. I never get that.
4:07 Andrew Santino? What is it, walnuts and he likes Waldorf salads?
4:09 Speaker 08 Yeah, it's unbelievable.
4:10 Andrew Santino? (singing) scrambled eggs. It was such a pretentious, I hated that show. I thought that show was like the worst. Where in Australia again?
4:16 Speaker 08 Sydney, Australia.
4:17 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
4:17 Speaker 08 You've been all around, right?
4:19 Andrew Santino? We've done it multiple times. I lived down in Melbourne when I shot a movie for a couple of months.
4:24 Speaker 08 No way.
4:24 Andrew Santino? Which I fell deeply in love with.
4:25 Speaker 08 Which movie, is it out?
4:26 Andrew Santino? Yeah, yeah, it was called Ricky Stanicki. It was on Amazon.
4:30 Speaker 08 Yes.
4:30 Andrew Santino? Yeah, we did it down there. Um, we used the same crew that La Brea used. You know La Brea, the TV show? They shot that there.
4:37 Speaker 08 Yes.
4:38 Andrew Santino? Now we're talking about it.
4:39 Speaker 08 Did you like the Australian crews?
4:41 Andrew Santino? They were unbelievable.
4:42 Speaker 08 Yeah, this is what people say.
4:43 Andrew Santino? A little too nice.
4:46 Speaker 08 Too nice. How do you mean by that?
4:47 Andrew Santino? Well, because in America, these are union crews. And so these people are a little bit more gritty and a little bit more like. They kind of fuck you off a little bit. Australia was very like, morning Andrew, how are you mate? You're good? And I'm like, at like five in the morning, like when we do morning shoots. They were so excited to see us. Because they're happy about the work.
5:06 Speaker 08 But also because you're American, like any, like you're a famous American, but any American is a superstar in Australia.
5:14 Andrew Santino? I don't know about that. I just think they were, is that spilling everywhere? That's the funniest thing in the world. He opened up a.
5:20 Speaker 08 And it's going, it's really going.
5:22 Andrew Santino? Fucking idiot.
5:23 Speaker 08 What's that drink?
5:24 Andrew Santino? It's a coffee.
5:25 Speaker 08 That's a milky drink as well.
5:28 Andrew Santino? God damn dude, it's like you never stop fucking up. You're so dumb. I love you. I yelled at him in front of someone at Gelson's. I go, that's my son. I'm yelling at my son. They do believe that you're my son. Anyway, back to us. You're annoying. God, McCon.
5:44 Speaker 08 Are you on all the podcasts?
5:45 Andrew Santino? He is. Yes, he does them all for us and he should be fired. If you know anybody that could do it better.
5:51 Speaker 08 They're Australians? They're very nice.
5:53 Andrew Santino? They're very nice. They are too nice. Get us back, get us back. No, they're, they were very, um, they were happy to have us there, but they were also extremely peppy. And that is hard sometimes in the morning. Because sometimes you're tired, you just kind of want to be left alone. But man, those Australian crews were just.
6:13 Speaker 08 Maybe, maybe not just nice, but like, cause American crews are nice. But Australian crews are like, they're maybe very familiar, very like, it's like down to earth, it's casual.
6:24 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I just think they want to make you happy. So they go above and beyond. And American crews are a little bit more gritty because they're used to the work. So it's a little bit, it's just like clocking in, clocking out.
6:33 Speaker 08 Yeah. Well, when my experience of Australian crews as an Australian actor in Australia is. They treat you like you're part of the crew. Like it's like at, at the start, they're very nice to you, a few weeks and they're like, oh, you want that, you know? You want a water? Like.
6:50 Andrew Santino? Get it yourself.
6:51 Speaker 08 The water's over there. That's the vibe. But I feel like in America, they're always, they're, they're tending to you.
6:57 Andrew Santino? They can be, they can be. Otherwise, or you're on a show for a couple of years, you get used to everybody and then they don't, uh. Then they don't want to talk to you.
7:04 Speaker 08 They don't care about you anymore.
7:06 Andrew Santino? No, and they shouldn't. Actors are bullshit. Acting is bullshit.
7:08 Speaker 08 Have you been on a long-term show?
7:10 Andrew Santino? The longest thing I ever did was three years. I did a show called Dave on FX.
7:14 Speaker 08 Yes.
7:14 Andrew Santino? With Little Dicky. That was three years and that was the longest I've ever done. I did one year.
7:18 Speaker 08 And they got sick of you.
7:19 Andrew Santino? They got really sick of me, yeah. FX called, they were like, enough of this bullshit.
7:22 Speaker 08 Do you play pranks on the crew and stuff like that? Is that the vibe?
7:25 Andrew Santino? I'm always pranking.
7:27 Speaker 08 You're pranking.
7:27 Andrew Santino? Always big pranker. I'm a huge pranker.
7:30 Speaker 08 Jackass style.
7:31 Andrew Santino? Big jackass guy. I would just kick the director in the penis every day. That was my thing.
7:35 Speaker 08 That's awesome. That's cool.
7:37 Andrew Santino? I slashed the executive producer's tires every other week. That was kind of a rad move.
7:41 Speaker 08 That's funny as hell.
7:42 Andrew Santino? Yeah, that was very funny.
7:43 Speaker 08 Everyone's laughing.
7:44 Andrew Santino? I lit one of the lead girl's trailer on fire. I lit the whole thing on fire and her dog was in there. So, yeah, the dog died. It was a big-
7:52 Speaker 08 You got her a new dog, though.
7:54 Andrew Santino? Yeah, we got her a new dog. That was part of the prank. Yeah, but we pranked her. We pretended this was the same dog, so we got her. We got her ass so good.
8:00 Speaker 08 Same dog prank.
8:01 Andrew Santino? Yeah, same dog prank. Um, and that was kind of it. I mean, the only other thing I did was, um, uh, oh.
8:08 Speaker 08 You did Beef?
8:09 Andrew Santino? What's that?
8:09 Speaker 08 You did Beef?
8:10 Andrew Santino? I did Beef. That was a big prank show.
8:11 Speaker 08 That's a Korean show.
8:12 Andrew Santino? That was a Korean show.
8:13 Speaker 08 You've been on a Korean show before.
8:15 Andrew Santino? I'm with a Korean man most days of my life. Yeah, yeah. He is the kind of the, he's kind of the king of the Koreans in America.
8:22 Speaker 08 Yeah, he is.
8:23 Andrew Santino? For American-
8:24 Speaker 08 A lot of respect.
8:25 Andrew Santino? Entertainers, he's-
8:26 Speaker 08 He's the Korean.
8:27 Andrew Santino? Well, he-
8:28 Speaker 08 There's, there's two styles. I think there's Bobby Lee's style and Henry Cho's style.
8:32 Andrew Santino? Well, Cho is respected. Bobby's loved. There's two different, it's very different.
8:36 Speaker 08 Yeah.
8:37 Andrew Santino? You can neither be respected or loved. You can't-
8:39 Speaker 08 Drunken master style, you know?
8:40 Andrew Santino? Yeah. You can't be, you can't be both.
8:42 Speaker 08 Can't be both.
8:42 Andrew Santino? Which one are you?
8:44 Speaker 08 I don't know.
8:45 Andrew Santino? Are you respected or loved?
8:46 Speaker 08 Sometimes I feel a bit Cho, sometimes I feel a bit Lee, you know?
8:49 Andrew Santino? You like to touch both bases.
8:50 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah.
8:51 Andrew Santino? Good for you.
8:52 Speaker 08 Haven't figured it out yet. I need to choose a master.
8:55 Andrew Santino? You can be your own master.
8:56 Speaker 08 I try to be.
8:57 Andrew Santino? You should be.
8:58 Speaker 08 Yeah.
8:59 Andrew Santino? You really should be because I think you're, are you a prankster?
9:02 Speaker 08 I'm a little gentle. I'm very gentle pranking.
9:05 Andrew Santino? Start pranking, dude.
9:06 Speaker 08 Psychological style.
9:07 Andrew Santino? Yeah, it really kind of ruins someone's psyche. That's how you really get-
9:10 Speaker 08 Over time, they don't even know they're being pranked.
9:12 Andrew Santino? They have no idea.
9:14 Speaker 08 They have no idea.
9:14 Andrew Santino? You just created a Truman Show world for somebody? You really diabolically shapeshift someone's reality?
9:20 Speaker 08 That's what I'd like to do.
9:22 Andrew Santino? That'd be very fun.
9:22 Speaker 08 And then you do a reveal camera there.
9:24 Andrew Santino? Cameras, cameras everywhere. Kind of like Nathan Fielder.
9:27 Speaker 08 Nathan, Nathan Fielder.
9:28 Andrew Santino? He's very good at that.
9:29 Speaker 08 Do you know him?
9:31 Andrew Santino? I met him one time.
9:32 Speaker 08 Me too.
9:32 Andrew Santino? I met him one time, we worked on a thing together, we didn't really speak much, he was a very um interesting person.
9:38 Speaker 08 Yeah.
9:39 Andrew Santino? What was your experience?
9:41 Speaker 08 I did a set in Toronto in, at the Comedy Bar, do you know this place?
9:46 Andrew Santino? I do.
9:46 Speaker 08 Yeah, and uh he was just there, he was around, I said, I'm a big fan of yours, I said, I love a sketch about, maybe about blueberries or something like that, and he's like, which one? I froze.
9:59 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
10:00 Speaker 08 I was like, I didn't know there was more than one.
10:02 Andrew Santino? Just take the love.
10:03 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:04 Andrew Santino? Yeah, just take the love and let's move on.
10:05 Speaker 08 Yeah.
10:06 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you don't, well, that's why.
10:07 Speaker 08 That was psychological.
10:08 Andrew Santino? Whenever you say to someone, I'm a big fan, it is interesting, I'm gonna start doing that, when someone goes, hey man, big fan, I'm gonna go, of what? What do you, what specifically are you a fan of?
10:17 Speaker 08 Yeah.
10:17 Andrew Santino? Cause that will really choke people up. I actually really like it now, when someone comes up to me and goes, hey man, I'm not a fan, but my uh, my buddy is, can I get a picture? I love that.
10:27 Speaker 08 You love that?
10:28 Andrew Santino? Oh, it's so funny.
10:29 Speaker 08 It keeps you humble.
10:29 Andrew Santino? It's just funny when someone has the balls to be like, hey man, I don't really like you or know you, but I'll take a picture with you for my friend, I'm like, that's so funny.
10:36 Speaker 08 Do you like when people come up?
10:38 Andrew Santino? And say hi?
10:38 Speaker 08 Yes.
10:39 Andrew Santino? As long as you're cool.
10:40 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:41 Andrew Santino? Some people are rude and weird, but if you're cool and you're like, hey man, what's up, big fan, that's fine. Some people are really um invasive. If I'm at dinner with my wife, it would be nice to not.
10:52 Speaker 08 Sure.
10:53 Andrew Santino? But people do.
10:54 Speaker 08 I once saw you at a pizza shop.
10:56 Andrew Santino? Me?
10:57 Speaker 08 Yeah, I didn't say hi, cause it looked uh private.
11:00 Andrew Santino? Wait, why didn't you say hello? Where was the pizza shop, here on the state?
11:03 Speaker 08 It was in uh Los Angeles.
11:05 Andrew Santino? Where?
11:05 Speaker 08 There's a slice shop somewhere, maybe in a strip mall.
11:08 Andrew Santino? Okay.
11:09 Speaker 08 Do you know what I'm talking about?
11:10 Andrew Santino? I do, I know what you're saying, yes.
11:11 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah, late night.
11:13 Andrew Santino? Late night.
11:13 Speaker 08 You probably did a set somewhere, you went to get a slice of pizza. But we were, I was with a group of friends, it was a fast.
11:20 Andrew Santino? Oh, and you were like, I'm not gonna.
11:22 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, he'll let you, live and let live.
11:24 Andrew Santino? See, that's why I respect you and I like you. We didn't even know each other and I was like, I really like him. Put him on the show. I just could feel in my bones.
11:31 Speaker 08 You saw me not saying hi.
11:33 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I, well, actually, the pizza shop owner who I know very well, reported that to me. He said, you know, Aaron Chen came in and he looked at you and decided not to bother you. And I said, I'm gonna have him on Whiskey Ginger.
11:42 Speaker 08 That's amazing.
11:43 Andrew Santino? Yeah, that was kinda my move. Yeah, it pays, it pays.
11:46 Speaker 08 To not say hi. Never say hi to anyone.
11:48 Andrew Santino? Don't say hi, pays off in the long run.
11:49 Speaker 08 You'll be on a podcast.
11:50 Andrew Santino? Where are you living now?
11:51 Speaker 08 New York.
11:52 Andrew Santino? Where in New York?
11:53 Speaker 08 Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights.
11:55 Andrew Santino? Okay, put the address right here. Please go say hello to him. Do you like Brooklyn?
11:58 Speaker 08 I love it.
11:59 Andrew Santino? Cause Brooklyn, well, it's interesting. Sydney is kind of the Los Angeles of Australia and Brooklyn is like the Melbourne of Australia.
12:07 Speaker 08 That's what people say.
12:08 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
12:08 Speaker 08 Or like New York in general is Melbourne, they say.
12:11 Andrew Santino? Very Melbourne-y, yeah. It's very like culturally that way.
12:13 Speaker 08 But the thing is like, I love New York and I would live in New York. I wouldn't necessarily live in Melbourne.
12:20 Andrew Santino? Would you ever live here?
12:22 Speaker 08 I would, but for the weather. I think for the weather, the beaches. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's a lot like Sydney. I like driving.
12:31 Andrew Santino? Yes.
12:32 Speaker 08 You like driving?
12:33 Andrew Santino? Love.
12:33 Speaker 08 I like putting stuff in the, you call it the boot or the trunk?
12:37 Andrew Santino? Uh, for you, we'll call it the boot.
12:39 Speaker 08 You call it the boot.
12:40 Andrew Santino? Yeah, for you.
12:41 Speaker 08 For me, for me.
12:41 Andrew Santino? But behind your back, we call it a trunk. But a trunk doesn't seem right because a trunk is the front of an elephant.
12:47 Speaker 08 Interesting. But the boot is the feet, the shoes for feet.
12:51 Andrew Santino? Well, if you get the boot, meaning you get kicked out, you get kicked in the ass. That's exactly, this is the etymology of everything. We'll go over it. Yeah, do you know where the word jeans comes from?
13:00 Speaker 08 No, jeans, Sydney Sweeney.
13:02 Andrew Santino? That's exactly right.
13:03 Speaker 08 Yep.
13:03 Andrew Santino? So Sydney's great-great-grandfather was a pretty notorious, I mean, I don't know if I could say it, slave owner, right?
13:12 Speaker 08 Is that true?
13:13 Andrew Santino? Yeah, oh yeah, this is all very true.
13:15 Speaker 08 It's documented.
13:16 Andrew Santino? Yeah, it's written down. And apparently he owned so much land and had so much extra resources and he owned textile factories. He started making. Pants for people that had his bloodline, his lineage. He said, "So you can only wear these if you have my jeans."
13:31 Speaker 08 Interesting.
13:32 Andrew Santino? And that's where the word jeans comes from, Sidney Sunni's great-great-grandfather.
13:35 Speaker 08 That's crazy. So it is linked.
13:36 Andrew Santino? That's very, that's why that commercial, I guess, upset a few people. And it shouldn't have. I mean, it was, it's her family lineage.
13:43 Speaker 08 It's nice.
13:43 Andrew Santino? It's very good. What?
13:45 Speaker 09 You don't know why it's called a trunk?
13:46 Andrew Santino? Why is it called a trunk?
13:47 Speaker 09 It's kind of a long rabbit hole, but it comes from the Latin truncus, like a tree trunk, cut off or mutilated is what it means. And it was meant something that's hollowed out, or like a trunk. Where you put stuff in.
13:58 Andrew Santino? That is actually very funny. So it's a trunk, a trunk.
14:01 Speaker 09 And auto manufacturers named it a trunk because people would put their trunks there.
14:04 Andrew Santino? You know, you could have truncated that whole story.
14:06 Speaker 08 Trunk, yeah, yeah.
14:07 Andrew Santino? We didn't need that fucking dumb shit, dude. You're fired. You spilled coffee? You're fired. You could have truncated that. That's where trunk come from. Where does boot come from is actually more interesting. Why do they call it boot? And bonnet, boot and a bonnet.
14:19 Speaker 08 Bonnet, bonnet's the front, right?
14:20 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I do love that. I think that's a rad, that's a really cool word, a bonnet.
14:24 Speaker 08 Yeah.
14:24 Andrew Santino? Because a bonnet goes on your head.
14:26 Speaker 08 We call it the hood. Do you call it the hood? Oh, the hood is the top, the cap. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:33 Andrew Santino? But the front.
14:33 Speaker 08 The, all of it's called the bonnet.
14:35 Andrew Santino? Yeah, the bon, we don't say bonnet though, I don't even know. We just call it the hood, the, under the hood.
14:39 Speaker 08 Under the hood, yeah.
14:40 Andrew Santino? What's under the hood? What is the, what's the boot come from?
14:43 Speaker 09 Boot comes from the term boot locker on carriages, where drivers stored boots and personal items.
14:48 Andrew Santino? God, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
14:49 Speaker 08 But you guys don't say that.
14:50 Andrew Santino? No, because we never stored our boots there. As Americans, um, they never took off their boots. We, we never stopped working.
14:56 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, interesting.
14:57 Andrew Santino? So the rest of the world went to bed at night, we don't, we don't sleep.
15:01 Speaker 08 Never sleeps.
15:01 Andrew Santino? Never sleep, never stop. And that's why we've been number one for a long time.
15:04 Speaker 08 Yes.
15:05 Andrew Santino? You know, we're, we're number one in everything. Name something, we're number one.
15:10 Speaker 08 Swimming. Swimming, that's number one, yeah. That's an easy one to start, but I'm trying to think. Trying to think of other, other stuff.
15:18 Andrew Santino? Okay, murder rate.
15:19 Speaker 08 Murder rate?
15:20 Andrew Santino? No one's better than us. Name a place that has a better murder rate than us.
15:23 Speaker 08 Maybe like Somalia.
15:24 Andrew Santino? Nice try dude. Nice try. You're out of your mind.
15:27 Speaker 08 You don't think so?
15:28 Andrew Santino? We're the best killers in the world.
15:29 Speaker 08 You're good at killing.
15:30 Andrew Santino? We're number one. I'm telling you we're number one.
15:31 Speaker 08 There is killing. Australia is not good at killing.
15:34 Andrew Santino? You guys are a little lax on killing. I do think once in a while someone will wield a pipe or a knife.
15:41 Speaker 08 They'll do it. We had a people, we had one punch type things.
15:45 Andrew Santino? One punch knockouts?
15:46 Speaker 08 Yeah, so Sydney, the whole of Sydney, there's new laws that just got revoked, but it meant you couldn't go into a bar after 12 a.m. Like, that's the cutoff.
15:57 Andrew Santino? Wait, they would close at midnight?
15:58 Speaker 08 Yeah, they would close at midnight and stuff, but this was because like a string of people died because people punched them in the back of their head.
16:06 Andrew Santino? Don't do that.
16:07 Speaker 08 Because we don't have guns. We have to punch.
16:09 Andrew Santino? Yeah, these are your guns.
16:10 Speaker 08 These are the guns.
16:11 Andrew Santino? That's the most powerful. These are the Lord's guns.
16:13 Speaker 08 The Lord's guns, yeah.
16:15 Andrew Santino? This is a 22, but this is a 38, dude.
16:17 Speaker 08 That's your jab?
16:18 Andrew Santino? Yeah, if I get a, if you fucking get in there. This one's a little bit weaker.
16:22 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah. That's for self-defense, but that's to say hello.
16:26 Andrew Santino? Mm-hmm. Or I'll jerk you off while I punch you, you know? Just to like give you some love and then also hurt you at the same time.

18:18 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:19 Andrew Santino? And most of my Asian friends have it.
18:21 Speaker 08 A lot of them, I think Korean people, they push through. Like, my wife, she pushed through. She pushed through the disease. Yeah, she's Korean.
18:28 Andrew Santino? So Koreans have it less so than Chinese. Chinese have it pretty bad. I think most of my Chinese friends get it.
18:34 Speaker 08 It's horrible.
18:35 Andrew Santino? And Japanese, um, they drink so much, I don't think it ma- it doesn't even matter.
18:40 Speaker 08 Yeah, they're like the salaryman culture. They drink after work.
18:44 Andrew Santino? It's great. Have you ever run into these guys? Have you been to Japan?
18:46 Speaker 08 I've been to Japan.
18:47 Andrew Santino? You seen them passed out on the street, in the sidewalk?
18:49 Speaker 08 Maybe I have seen it, but I didn't.
18:50 Andrew Santino? I've seen it a few times. It's actually really sad to see a man in a suit.
18:54 Speaker 08 Passed out.
18:54 Andrew Santino? With throw up all over. It's kind of like the saddest shit you've ever seen. And, but it's culturally normal and okay.
19:00 Speaker 08 And then back to work the next day.
19:01 Andrew Santino? Back to work. You gotta go back to work. Scrape off the puke and go back.
19:03 Speaker 08 Are you a big party guy?
19:05 Andrew Santino? I like to have a couple of cocktails. I like to have a-
19:07 Speaker 08 Are you from Los Angeles?
19:08 Andrew Santino? I'm from Chicago.
19:09 Speaker 08 You're from Chicago.
19:10 Andrew Santino? Where we drink and where we eat bad foods and-
19:13 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, you can do it all.
19:14 Andrew Santino? Yeah. Uh, Chicago, number one for heart attacks. Number one.
19:18 Speaker 08 But this is like the opposite culture, you know?
19:20 Andrew Santino? This is health.
19:20 Speaker 08 This is like activewear, running.
19:22 Andrew Santino? So this is where I kind of am in the, this is the yin and yang of life.
19:25 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:26 Andrew Santino? I'm an alcoholic from the Midwest who came here to live a healthier life.
19:29 Speaker 08 You need to be here.
19:30 Andrew Santino? Yeah. So I'll blackout on a Tuesday, but I'll be at yoga Wednesday morning.
19:33 Speaker 08 Great.
19:34 Andrew Santino? That's kind of, that's what you-
19:34 Speaker 08 That's balance.
19:35 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you have to have that.
19:36 Speaker 08 You can do yoga?
19:38 Andrew Santino? No, I won't. I refuse. Yeah, I refuse. I refuse unless it's an all-male class. I don't like these mixed classes.
19:44 Speaker 08 You don't like?
19:44 Andrew Santino? I don't want women to see me in vulnerable positions.
19:47 Speaker 08 Oh, you meant gender. No.
19:48 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
19:48 Speaker 08 Not race.
19:49 Andrew Santino? No, no. Oh, um, race too. Race too. No.
19:57 Andrew Santino? I won't take a yoga class, well, first of all, yoga classes are usually all white.
20:01 Speaker 08 Yes.
20:02 Andrew Santino? By the way.
20:02 Speaker 08 Yeah.
20:03 Andrew Santino? No, I won't do a yoga, I would do a yoga class with all men.
20:07 Speaker 08 Yeah, that would be fun, huh?
20:08 Andrew Santino? That's funny, cuz with women, I feel vulnerable. I don't want some girl looking, I look, I'll look dumb and
20:13 Speaker 08 Yeah.
20:14 Andrew Santino? I don't want them to laugh at me and snicker and then it's a reminder of, you know, then it's junior high all over again.
20:18 Speaker 08 It's my feet, I feel self-conscious about my feet. I've got like bunions and stuff like that.
20:22 Andrew Santino? Do you have bad feet?
20:23 Speaker 08 Bad feet, yeah.
20:24 Andrew Santino? From what, soccer?
20:24 Speaker 08 Flat feet. I played soccer, yeah, I did.
20:27 Andrew Santino? That's why, yeah.
20:27 Speaker 08 Yeah, everything.
20:28 Andrew Santino? How, how big, let me guess how big your shoe is, uh, and this is gonna be US size.
20:31 Speaker 08 Yeah.
20:32 Andrew Santino? That's a seven and a half.
20:35 Speaker 08 That's it, yeah.
20:36 Andrew Santino? Yeah, is it?
20:36 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, this, this will either be a seven or a seven and a half shoe.
20:39 Andrew Santino? It looks seven and a half, yeah.
20:41 Speaker 08 Do you want me to look?
20:41 Andrew Santino? Yeah, please.
20:44 Speaker 08 Seven, this is seven. But that's really good.
20:47 Andrew Santino? Yeah, and everyone, I'm pretty good at stuff like this.
20:50 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:50 Andrew Santino? It's kinda my specialty.
20:51 Speaker 08 Yeah.
20:51 Andrew Santino? And then everyone always has one foot that's bigger than the other one.
20:54 Speaker 08 Interesting.
20:55 Andrew Santino? A little bit, right?
20:55 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:56 Andrew Santino? It's usually by like an eighth of an inch or something like that.
20:59 Speaker 08 Yeah.
20:59 Andrew Santino? I would guess, do you know with yours?
21:01 Speaker 08 I don't know, so you could guess.
21:04 Andrew Santino? Yeah, but will you go home and text me later if, when you find out?
21:06 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:07 Andrew Santino? Cuz we can put it up on the show and say Andrew was right or wrong.
21:09 Speaker 08 Yeah.
21:09 Andrew Santino? I will say, you seem like a guy who's right foot longer.
21:14 Speaker 08 Okay, I'll have a look.
21:15 Andrew Santino? Do you kick righty or kick lefty?
21:17 Speaker 08 I kick right.
21:18 Andrew Santino? Yeah, your right foot's longer, yeah. Your right foot's a little bit longer.
21:20 Speaker 08 Are you a soccer player?
21:21 Andrew Santino? I played it when I was a child.
21:23 Speaker 08 Chicago Fire.
21:24 Andrew Santino? Chicago Fire, what a team.
21:25 Speaker 08 What a team.
21:26 Andrew Santino? I went to high school with the guy that played for the Fire.
21:27 Speaker 08 Nice, incredible.
21:29 Andrew Santino? And then I went to the Sting when I was a kid, which is their indoor soccer team.
21:33 Speaker 08 Yep.
21:34 Andrew Santino? That's how much I used to love soccer when I was a little boy. And ironically, now I don't even care about it. And Bobby is a massive soccer fan.
21:41 Speaker 08 He's a big soccer guy?
21:42 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
21:42 Speaker 08 You guys go to the World Cup?
21:44 Andrew Santino? He, he would, I wouldn't go.
21:46 Speaker 08 You wouldn't go? That's like once in a lifetime stuff, you know?
21:49 Andrew Santino? But it's so much commotion. I'm kind of autistic in that right, I don't like big crowds.
21:54 Speaker 08 You don't go to any sport?
21:56 Andrew Santino? Hmm, uh, I will, I will.
21:59 Speaker 08 You go to like golf?
22:01 Andrew Santino? No, I never would go, that golf's too much.
22:03 Speaker 08 Tennis maybe?
22:04 Andrew Santino? Tennis is cool, you can sit and you can hide away.
22:06 Speaker 08 And that's quiet, that's nice. You can have a big sensory like the earphones on.
22:10 Andrew Santino? Yeah, and I can play with my little toys that I get, yeah, my little fidget spinners. What's the, yeah, I can go to a sport if it's sitting to watch, but if it's walking to observe? Like.
22:21 Speaker 08 Concerts?
22:23 Andrew Santino? Uh, they're a little hard for me.
22:24 Speaker 08 Yeah, I don't like them anyway.
22:26 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
22:27 Speaker 08 I feel like I like the first song, the last song, and then it's like, if you're standing, it's horrible, you know?
22:32 Andrew Santino? Just play the first and last.
22:33 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:34 Andrew Santino? That should be a tour called First and Last. The band just does the first song and the last song.
22:38 Speaker 08 That'd be great.
22:39 Andrew Santino? Yeah, that's awesome.
22:40 Speaker 08 Would you go to that?
22:41 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you're back home by nine, it's amazing.
22:43 Speaker 08 Half the price, two songs.
22:44 Andrew Santino? Half the price for two songs.
22:46 Speaker 08 Great.
22:46 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I don't like the, uh, I do really wanna go to a little more live shit, but we perform live, so it's hard to go to live stuff, cuz you already have, you live that world.
22:55 Speaker 08 Yeah.
22:55 Andrew Santino? It's kinda hard, but if I can sit quietly and observe. Like, we went to Wimbledon this last year, that was amazing.
23:02 Speaker 08 That's very quiet, that's like one of the most quiet tennis ones.
23:05 Andrew Santino? It was incredible.
23:06 Speaker 08 That's the autistic sport, autistic gentleman's sport.
23:10 Andrew Santino? A gentleman autistic, that is very much so. And we sat next to, um, or we sat near, uh, um,
23:20 Andrew Santino? Riz Ahmed, do you know who that is?
23:22 Speaker 08 Yeah, British actor.
23:23 Andrew Santino? Tremendous actor.
23:24 Speaker 08 I just watched his movie Relay. Did you watch it?
23:27 Andrew Santino? Did you like it?
23:27 Speaker 08 I liked it, I liked it a lot. I watched it on the plane, it was like such a good concept.
23:32 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
23:32 Speaker 08 You know when you, there's a world and you wanna like kinda live in it for a bit?
23:36 Andrew Santino? You wanna live in that world?
23:37 Speaker 08 Just like see what he gets up to and stuff. I wanna see, like, I wanna see like more times he's, he's done it, you know?
23:44 Andrew Santino? Have you seen this movie?
23:45 Speaker 08 No.
23:45 Andrew Santino? No, good. Good.
23:49 Andrew Santino? Riz is a great, but a great guy.
23:50 Speaker 08 Yeah.
23:51 Andrew Santino? Talented guy, great actor and a great tennis watcher. Knew so much.
23:55 Speaker 08 Yeah.
23:56 Andrew Santino? Asked him a few questions. I don't know enough.
23:58 Speaker 08 You see Four Lions?
24:00 Andrew Santino? Hmm hmm.
24:01 Speaker 08 Is he in that?
24:01 Andrew Santino? Four Lions?
24:02 Speaker 08 Yeah.
24:02 Andrew Santino? No, I don't know what that.
24:03 Speaker 08 Four Lions.
24:04 Andrew Santino? Lions, L I O N S?
24:05 Speaker 08 Yeah, can you check if he's in there? Cause I took a punt, but I.
24:08 Speaker 09 Yeah, he is. Omar, he's the main character.
24:10 Speaker 08 He is in it. He is in it.
24:12 Andrew Santino? Four Lions.
24:13 Speaker 08 This is one of the funniest movies of all time.
24:15 Andrew Santino? Shut up.
24:15 Speaker 09 Twenty ten, political, British political satire comedy.
24:19 Andrew Santino? Big fan.
24:20 Speaker 08 It's about like, uh, four terrorists who botcha, botcha bombing.
24:26 Andrew Santino? Oh, that's so smart.
24:27 Speaker 08 Yeah.
24:27 Andrew Santino? Four Lions? I have to watch this.
24:29 Speaker 09 It's on Prime.
24:30 Andrew Santino? Love.
24:31 Speaker 08 It's funny. Yeah.
24:32 Andrew Santino? Four terrorists that botcha bombing. Do you write movies? Do you write TV or film?
24:36 Speaker 08 I don't write. I've tried to. I can't hold, you know, like, like I do like comedy bits which are so short.
24:41 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
24:42 Speaker 08 I can't hold a story more than like. But you have. Like I tried to write a feature film one time and I was like, I'll write it. I'll see how I go. I got ten pages and it was like done.
24:52 Andrew Santino? That's it, huh?
24:53 Speaker 08 That's not really a feature. Like they can't really stretch it out that much. Cause I've heard they can stretch it out a bit, but.
24:58 Andrew Santino? Not from ten pages.
24:59 Speaker 08 Not from ten pages.
25:00 Andrew Santino? Ten to, ten to ninety is a big. Eighty pages is hard to find. Yeah.
25:04 Speaker 08 Like, uh, there's like techniques like slow mo, stuff like that, but you can't hit it that much.
25:08 Andrew Santino? Action lines don't take up seventy five pages, I don't think. You could try. I mean, good luck.
25:13 Speaker 08 Maybe I'll get someone to punch it up.
25:15 Speaker 09 The script for Eraserhead was only twenty two pages long.
25:18 Andrew Santino? Eraserhead was twenty two pages.
25:19 Speaker 08 There you go.
25:19 Andrew Santino? Twelve more pages, you're on your way.
25:21 Speaker 08 I haven't even seen it, but I gotta see it.
25:22 Andrew Santino? You gotta watch it. You could tell it's twenty two pages.
25:24 Speaker 08 Yeah.
25:26 Andrew Santino? It really shows itself.
25:28 Speaker 08 Cause you could film other stuff while you're there. Like you see a nice like.
25:31 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
25:32 Speaker 08 Do you write movies?
25:35 Andrew Santino? I have, I've written more TV stuff than film.
25:38 Speaker 08 Yeah, an episode kind of feels like okay, you know?
25:41 Andrew Santino? Yeah. Yeah, an episode's enough.
25:42 Speaker 08 Cause there's like, uh, A B or plot lines and stuff like that.
25:46 Andrew Santino? Beginning, middle, end. It's really easy to wrap up in, in thirty five pages. Really hard to do. Feature films tough. I give credit for people that do that. I can't.
25:55 Speaker 08 Yeah.
25:55 Andrew Santino? Not for me. We've tried. We've got a couple. We've done a few. We've written a few of them, but they're really bad. We won't. We wrote.
26:01 Speaker 08 So you did it. That's an achievement.
26:02 Andrew Santino? I did it. Yeah, I've done it.
26:03 Speaker 08 That's amazing.
26:04 Andrew Santino? Yeah, but I'm forty-two by now. I should have done a few more.
26:06 Speaker 08 Ninety pages or more?
26:07 Andrew Santino? No, the comedy is usually sixty to eighty, like.
26:10 Speaker 08 Really?
26:10 Andrew Santino? Eighty is kind of the max for comedy that you want.
26:12 Speaker 08 I didn't know you could do. I didn't know sixty was. I thought you had to hit ninety.
26:16 Andrew Santino? No, you do, but also comedy is gonna always get. It's gonna inflate as time goes on.
26:21 Speaker 08 You're riffing.
26:21 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you're riffing and your also rewrites are gonna grow it naturally into a new and adding shit and taking a. But I mean, there's no right way to do it. I mean, Tarantino wrote scripts that were like obnoxiously long, like never endingly long. And then would whittle it down to nothing.
26:37 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:37 Andrew Santino? And we're basically the modern Tarantino.
26:39 Speaker 08 We are, yeah.
26:40 Andrew Santino? You and I.
26:40 Speaker 08 Yeah, well, you see the ten pages I wrote is.
26:43 Andrew Santino? Send them to me. I really wanna see them. Please send them my way.
26:46 Speaker 08 I'll see, I'll see.
26:47 Andrew Santino? Do you miss home or no?
26:49 Speaker 08 Do I miss home? Sometimes I miss home. I miss more people than the actual place.
26:54 Andrew Santino? Like mom and dad?
26:55 Speaker 08 Yeah, family and friends and stuff like that. The scene? I watched the clip. It was like a comedian that I didn't even like really hang out with or watch their stuff that much. But from Australia and I was like, damn, I miss this place.
27:09 Andrew Santino? You miss that thing.
27:10 Speaker 08 You miss just like seeing that type of comedy all the time.
27:13 Andrew Santino? Right.
27:14 Speaker 08 Cause it's a style, you know?
27:15 Andrew Santino? What you're used to.
27:15 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:16 Andrew Santino? Like your style. You're it's like you, you're saying?
27:19 Speaker 08 Like me, like I'm one part of it, maybe.
27:22 Andrew Santino? You're a big part of it.
27:23 Speaker 08 Thanks.
27:24 Andrew Santino? Cause you got over here.
27:25 Speaker 08 Cause I got over here.
27:26 Andrew Santino? And people like you over here.
27:27 Speaker 08 Yeah.
27:28 Andrew Santino? I like you over here.
27:29 Speaker 08 That's really.
27:30 Andrew Santino? You can't leave.
27:31 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah.
27:31 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you have to stay now.
27:32 Speaker 08 I will stay, yeah.
27:33 Andrew Santino? Yeah, we bought you a house in Louisville, Kentucky that we'd like you to move into.
27:37 Speaker 08 Louisville?
27:37 Andrew Santino? Yeah, we did.
27:38 Speaker 08 I went there the other day.
27:39 Andrew Santino? That's why we bought it. We saw that you went.
27:41 Speaker 08 Why'd you say Louisville?
27:42 Andrew Santino? Because you went there and I said I wanna buy him a home there.
27:44 Speaker 08 Yeah.
27:45 Andrew Santino? Would your wife move there?
27:46 Speaker 08 To Louisville, Kentucky? I don't think. I don't think so. She she likes San Diego.
27:53 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I get that. I get that. Would you move her to San Diego?
27:57 Speaker 08 Maybe one day. It's very nice.
28:00 Andrew Santino? It, first of all, it's closer to home for you.
28:02 Speaker 08 Yes.
28:03 Andrew Santino? San Diego is a much easier flight than Brooklyn.
28:05 Speaker 08 Yeah, than Brooklyn.
28:06 Andrew Santino? Yeah. And also, it, it emulates a little bit of the San Diego lifestyle, I mean, uh, Sydney lifestyle.
28:13 Speaker 08 Yes.
28:13 Andrew Santino? Right? Beach life.
28:15 Speaker 08 Beach life.
28:16 Andrew Santino? Bro, lot of bros.
28:17 Speaker 08 Bros.
28:18 Andrew Santino? And you're a huge surfer.
28:19 Speaker 08 I'm a big bro.
28:20 Andrew Santino? You're a big bro.
28:21 Speaker 08 Big wave surfer.
28:22 Andrew Santino? Big wave? No small wave guy?
28:24 Speaker 08 No, no small wave.
28:25 Andrew Santino? What's the smallest wave you'd hit?
28:28 Speaker 08 Uh, twelve foot.
28:29 Andrew Santino? Twelve foot? Yeah, that's pretty small. That's pretty weak soft shit. Yeah. I'll only rip thirties.
28:34 Speaker 08 Do you surf?
28:35 Andrew Santino? No, that's insane. It doesn't even make any sense to me why people would want to do that. Mother Nature is such an aggressive, mean...
28:41 Speaker 08 Yeah, it's not for humans.
28:43 Andrew Santino? Nope, it's, you're not supposed to do that.
28:44 Speaker 08 Yeah.
28:45 Andrew Santino? The waves are a sign of, um, the ocean's power.
28:49 Speaker 08 Oh, yeah.
28:49 Andrew Santino? Why would I try to fuck with that?
28:51 Speaker 08 It's interesting.
28:52 Andrew Santino? And sharks. What do we, what, what's the point of any of it?
28:55 Speaker 08 Lot of sharks.
28:55 Andrew Santino? Yeah. Like, if when I played pickup basketball, there was a guy who just had a loose knife and you might get, I'm not interested. It's the exact same thing. It's, and also...
29:04 Speaker 08 They should introduce that, you know?
29:05 Andrew Santino? Well, they do in certain areas.
29:08 Andrew Santino? I don't know if you've been all over the US, but it is actually, it does happen at many parks. I just, I just think surfing, the respect I have for it, huge. I have some good friends that surf. I do not, I'm not interested. I don't like sand.
29:21 Speaker 08 Yeah.
29:21 Andrew Santino? And I don't like being wet.
29:25 Andrew Santino? March Madness is here and college basketball is non-stop. Big games, tight spreads, momentum swings every single night.

32:08 Andrew Santino? Laguna's like MAGA heaven, right?
32:10 Speaker 09 All Orange County.
32:11 Andrew Santino? But Laguna specifically is like MAGA, isn't that right? That's what I've heard.
32:14 Speaker 08 We went to watch the Melania doc there.
32:17 Andrew Santino? You had to go there for the doc?
32:18 Speaker 08 For the doc.
32:21 Speaker 08 It wouldn't be fun watching it in like the Grove, you know?

32:29 Speaker 08 Oh, to Laguna, sorry.
32:30 Andrew Santino? Yeah, Orange County does have, uh, they think we're all, we're liberal losers. Um, it's Orange County and, um, we don't care about Orange County at all.

33:38 Speaker 08 Disregarding sports, you can't regard sport, but, um, I think what Jacob Elordi is doing, that's kinda, he's doing nice with it, like, he's kinda keeping it low-key as well, you know? Like, he's not doing like everything.
33:51 Andrew Santino? Right, he's kind of, um.
33:52 Speaker 08 He does what he wants to do.
33:53 Andrew Santino? Yeah, he's almost like, he's getting close to the resume of like a, uh, Daniel Day-Lewis type.
34:03 Speaker 08 Yeah.
34:03 Andrew Santino? Where you kinda pick and choose, you get a little, you know, you're allowed to be a little bit more picky now, you get the respect, you've done like the.
34:08 Speaker 08 Young Daniel Day.
34:10 Andrew Santino? Young DD.
34:11 Speaker 08 Young DD.

40:16 Andrew Santino? I performed there a couple of times. It was great.
40:17 Speaker 08 Uh huh.
40:18 Andrew Santino? Because I was, I was, I was there when I was shooting the movie and I said to my agent, "I kind of don't want to sit on my ass anymore. I feel like I really want to do a spot." And he was like, "Let's," he's like, "Let's call the club and see if," and I said, "Yeah, I'll just pop in on a whatever, random show." And, uh, they were super generous and nice and we just put up a couple of shows and and the other Australian comics were awesome.
40:40 Speaker 08 Were they very excited to see you?
40:42 Andrew Santino? Yes.
40:43 Speaker 08 Yeah.
40:44 Andrew Santino? Yeah, should they not have been?
40:45 Speaker 08 No, it's interesting. Maybe the cultures changed a little bit, but like, I remember back maybe in 2014 or something, Louis went down to the Comics Lounge in Melbourne and he was like, "This is the only place in the world where like, they didn't know who I was."
41:03 Andrew Santino? Well, 2014.
41:06 Speaker 08 He was big, though.
41:07 Andrew Santino? I know, but I think eat more the the. The comedy culture is so much more globalized because of the internet, especially post covid. So I would think that helped me tremendously.

44:13 Speaker 08 Did you ever do meet and greets?
44:15 Andrew Santino? Interesting. Yeah, I would sometimes. It depended on the city and the venue. So, once I played it once, I learned whether or not it was, uh...
44:25 Speaker 08 A good city for it.
44:26 Andrew Santino? Or easy to do. It's like some, some places aren't outfitted for it and you're like, this is weird and it feels strange and talk... But yeah, I would do it. I, I used to do it, but...
44:34 Speaker 08 It's a good thing to do, right?
44:35 Andrew Santino? It's very nice.
44:36 Speaker 08 I've never done one.
44:37 Andrew Santino? You should do.
44:38 Speaker 08 You should do.
44:39 Andrew Santino? Well...
44:40 Speaker 08 What's, what, tell me the, the pros and cons?
44:43 Andrew Santino? The pros are, you are greeting the people who support you. So, you're supporting the people that support you.
44:48 Speaker 08 Yeah, it's beautiful.
44:49 Andrew Santino? The cons are, you're already tired. It's hard to do more work after you already did the job.
44:55 Speaker 08 Yeah. Sometimes a second show.
44:57 Andrew Santino? That's what I mean. So, it's almost like the boss is like, can you stay late? And you're like, I've been working all day.
45:02 Speaker 08 Yeah.
45:02 Andrew Santino? And like, just stay late and say hi to my entire family, will you? So, it's a little, it's a little taxing. I think people don't know that, or care. Uh, but the pros to me are this, and I'll be genuine. This is no joke. These are the people that are helping you continue your life.
45:17 Speaker 08 Yeah.
45:18 Andrew Santino? They're paying your rent, they're helping you live and fulfill your dreams. So the fans, you gotta show them as much love as you can. It's hard to do meet and greets because you're like, I'm in my fifteenth city and I'm exhausted and I just wanna go back to the hotel and jerk off and watch bad TV. And that's all you're thinking about while you're talking to the fans.
45:35 Speaker 08 Yeah.
45:35 Andrew Santino? I'm jerking off, hello, hi, nice to see you, hi, I'm jerking off to reality television.
45:39 Speaker 08 Oh, you're already in the future.
45:40 Andrew Santino? I'm jerking off in my mind while I'm meeting the fans.
45:43 Speaker 08 That's unbelievable.
45:43 Andrew Santino? Thinking about reality television.
45:44 Speaker 08 You can hold a lot in your, in your mind.
45:46 Andrew Santino? It's two, two, no, it's, it's split hemisphere. This one is I'm jerking off in the hotel.
45:51 Speaker 08 This one is hey.
45:52 Andrew Santino? And this one is hi.
45:52 Speaker 08 Thank you for all you've done for me.
45:54 Andrew Santino? I don't even know if I get that, it's just hi.
45:56 Speaker 08 Hi.
45:57 Andrew Santino? So hi, and then it's kind of, it's a, it's a balance.
46:00 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:00 Andrew Santino? No, but these people are supporting you and I, and I, I know something about it.
46:02 Speaker 08 We don't have that culture in Australia.
46:04 Andrew Santino? To say hello?
46:05 Speaker 08 Yeah, there's no, there's no real meet and greets. Like if, there's kinda this thing in Australia, it's called tall, tall poppy syndrome.
46:12 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I know tall poppies, yeah. We talk, we, they talk about it a lot, actually.
46:15 Speaker 08 They talk about it a lot. So, there's kind of a vibe, it's like, oh, you're doing a meet and greet, you think you're like,
46:20 Andrew Santino? You think you're special.
46:21 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But here, it's like, no, it's like, they're not, I think I'm special, it's like, thank you for coming out.
46:26 Andrew Santino? It's being gracious for someone who's supported you.
46:28 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:29 Andrew Santino? Yeah, it's thanking the fans.
46:29 Speaker 08 Yeah, it's beautiful.
46:30 Andrew Santino? If you can do it, it's cool. We did it on our tour, we did all of them, every city. Um, but it's, it's really difficult to do. Timing wise, and especially if you've got multiple shows and you're like, I just wanna go home, man, I'm very, it's a long travel.
46:42 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:42 Andrew Santino? You know.
46:43 Speaker 09 And there's always miscommunication with when it is, and people showed up early or late, and there's always.
46:48 Andrew Santino? The hardest thing is if people pay for it and they didn't show up for it because they thought it was post-show, but it was pre-show, and then they get fucking mad. And they yell at someone at the venue, and then they're like, we didn't know, we drove all the way here from da, da, da, da, da, and you're like, okay, okay, well, man.
47:01 Speaker 09 A lot of that was venues, a venue's.
47:02 Andrew Santino? Vennies, that was a venue.
47:03 Speaker 08 Oh, people pay for the meet and greets?
47:05 Andrew Santino? So for Bobby and I's, for when we did them, they did.
47:07 Speaker 08 At the theaters.
47:08 Andrew Santino? Yes.
47:09 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, then you whittle it down.
47:10 Speaker 09 They had to be capped at a hundred.
47:12 Speaker 08 Nice.
47:12 Andrew Santino? But I did say this, on the next time I do tour, I'm gonna do, um, meet and greets, cause what I figured, this is a smart move. I'm gonna overcharge like crazy for the meet and greets, like, say it's like a thousand dollars, right?
47:25 Speaker 08 Great.
47:25 Andrew Santino? To meet me, and I'm gonna donate all that money to charity. So then, if you're Mr. Rich Show Off guy and you wanna be a big shot and you think, you know, you can afford it, it's great. But it'll limit the amount of people that wanna do that, and then the money will go to a charity of my choice. So then, I don't. So it's like when someone's like, "Oh, you're charging a thousand dollars." Like, it doesn't go to me. It goes to the sick kids.
47:45 Speaker 08 Yeah.
47:46 Andrew Santino? So...
47:46 Speaker 08 And do you hate them?
47:47 Andrew Santino? And do you hate sick children?
47:48 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah.
47:49 Andrew Santino? Well, you're a bad person.
47:50 Speaker 08 That's a perfect plan.
47:51 Andrew Santino? It's kind of a good little diabolical plan. But it's going to be... It's gonna be, yeah, well, actually, but all the money is gonna go to fund ICE. It's gonna be an ICE...
48:01 Andrew Santino? It's called the Ice Chest, is the charity I'm supporting. Yeah.
48:06 Speaker 08 The Ice Factory.
48:07 Andrew Santino? The Ice Factory.
48:08 Speaker 08 The Ice House. Ice House.
48:10 Andrew Santino? The Ice House, yeah. We'll do it at the Ice House in Pasadena. Boy, do they need to change their fucking name, dude. Shit, dude, the poor Ice. Did you watch the Grammys last night? A lot of Ice talk on there.
48:20 Speaker 08 A lot of Ice talk?
48:21 Andrew Santino? Yeah, a lot of fuck, a lot of fuck Ice. Yeah, a lot of pro Ice. A lot of pro Ice. It was mostly...
48:26 Speaker 08 Thank you for your work.
48:27 Andrew Santino? A lot of the Ices, a lot of the, a lot of the, uh... No, I think almost every artist that said something, said something about fuck Ice. Especially, Billie Eilish was the one that I saw. I got home last night from driving up. I drove up from San Diego last night.

51:25 Speaker 08 Is that a headline show or the casino, it's just like a separate thing altogether?
51:29 Andrew Santino? It's just me, me at a casino. It's just me in front of...
51:33 Speaker 08 Like, is that part of your tour or does the casino...
51:35 Andrew Santino? I'm not touring. I'm just doing a bunch of casinos, because I put out a special at the end of last year, and so now I'm building this new hour.
51:41 Speaker 08 Because they let you play a little bit on the house?
51:44 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I don't gamble. I don't gamble as much at all these places. Some of them.
51:50 Speaker 08 Interesting. They actually do.
51:51 Andrew Santino? Oh, yeah. You play. Oh, yeah. You can get paid in chips.
51:54 Speaker 08 Wow. Every time in Australia, they're like, you can't play while you're working.
52:00 Andrew Santino? Really?
52:00 Speaker 08 Yeah.
52:01 Andrew Santino? What the fuck do they care? I went to the Crown Casino. Is that what you're talking about?
52:04 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:05 Andrew Santino? I went to the Crown.
52:06 Speaker 08 Yeah.
52:06 Andrew Santino? Yeah, and I lost a lot of money.
52:08 Speaker 08 Big casino.
52:09 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I was a little upset about that.
52:10 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:11 Andrew Santino? In fact, isn't the guy who owns the Crown Casinos...
52:16 Andrew Santino? Is that the guy?
52:18 Speaker 08 There's this conspiracy theory, but yeah.
52:19 Andrew Santino? Well, no, what is it?
52:21 Speaker 08 Well, it's like we have those lockout laws.
52:23 Andrew Santino? Mm hmm.
52:24 Speaker 08 But they don't apply to, they didn't apply to the casino. So everyone thought the casino was make kinda like puppeteering.
52:31 Andrew Santino? Well, do we not think that that could be a possibility or?
52:34 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah.
52:34 Andrew Santino? I mean, that's gotta be it, right?
52:36 Speaker 08 Well, it's like it just didn't apply to that and like a few other places.
52:40 Andrew Santino? Have you been to the Mona in Hobart?
52:41 Speaker 08 Yeah, crazy. You see that machine that makes the shit?
52:45 Andrew Santino? Dude, it's one of my favorite museums on planet earth.
52:49 Speaker 08 Yeah, it's crazy.
52:49 Andrew Santino? And that guy was a gambler.
52:51 Speaker 08 He's a gambler, but he's good at it.
52:52 Andrew Santino? He got banned by the Australian government.
52:54 Speaker 08 Yeah.
52:55 Andrew Santino? Because he was so good, this guy, I have his book at the house. They, they tried to stop him multiple times. He couldn't, but he was, he's a, he's such a genius that he was able to get away with, he wasn't cheating. He was just bending the rules?
53:11 Speaker 08 He knew a lot about maths. I think he had like a math degree.
53:13 Andrew Santino? He was a math genius.
53:14 Speaker 08 Yeah.
53:14 Andrew Santino? And he lives above the Mona or?
53:16 Speaker 08 Does he really?
53:17 Andrew Santino? Yeah, part of his property is still there, apparently.
53:18 Speaker 08 It's like a bunker.
53:20 Andrew Santino? It is like a little bunker. It's like ten floors down.
53:22 Speaker 08 Yeah.
53:22 Andrew Santino? Which is where I'll be when they come to get us.
53:25 Speaker 08 When?
53:25 Andrew Santino? Where will you be when the world ends?
53:28 Speaker 08 I like, would like to be in the epicenter. I'd be like the first guy to like die.
53:35 Andrew Santino? You think you're first to go?
53:37 Speaker 08 If there's like a nuke.
53:38 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
53:38 Speaker 08 You wanna be in the, you don't wanna be like just on the side, you know?
53:42 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
53:42 Speaker 08 You don't wanna like live with the.
53:43 Andrew Santino? Just hit me hard.
53:44 Speaker 08 Yeah, like I want to be where the point of the missile is. I want that to be on my head.
53:50 Andrew Santino? We're, we're aiming at Chin. He's in Memphis. I think it's gonna be a rock.
53:56 Speaker 08 It's a rock? Oh, like a meteor?
53:57 Andrew Santino? Massive meteor that's hurtling towards us and they don't really wanna tell us. You know what I mean? And they're like, look, if we tell them this, it'll be chaos and panic. So.
54:07 Speaker 08 I got a movie for you. It's called Don't Look Up.
54:10 Andrew Santino? I love it. It's a great movie. Yeah.
54:13 Speaker 08 That's about a meteor, right?
54:14 Andrew Santino? It's about our world as we live in right now.
54:16 Speaker 08 Yeah.
54:16 Andrew Santino? Cause apparently we said we're sixty eight. This is even creepier. I don't know if you follow this ever.
54:21 Speaker 08 Sixty eight?
54:22 Andrew Santino? We are, we are eighty five seconds.
54:26 Speaker 08 To midnight?
54:27 Andrew Santino? To midnight.
54:29 Andrew Santino? Do you not know this?
54:29 Speaker 08 We've been a lot closer before.
54:31 Andrew Santino? Huh?
54:31 Speaker 08 We've been a lot closer before.
54:33 Andrew Santino? I know we have, but eighty-five is still pretty scary. We're eighty-five seconds to midnight. Midnight, the doomsday clock. Do you know about this?
54:39 Speaker 08 I know about some of these clocks. They have one of these clocks in New York.
54:43 Andrew Santino? Hmm.
54:44 Speaker 08 On the side of a building.
54:45 Andrew Santino? That's the one in Union Square that shows the deaths?
54:47 Speaker 08 Yeah, maybe.
54:48 Andrew Santino? The cancer deaths? Yeah.
54:49 Speaker 08 Or maybe, it changes all the time. Now it's like national debt or something like that.
54:53 Andrew Santino? Oh yeah, that's fun.
54:53 Speaker 08 They have the smoker clock.
54:54 Andrew Santino? Smoker clock is fun. We got the one of those on Wilshire, yeah.
54:58 Speaker 08 Yeah, people like celebrate.
54:59 Andrew Santino? People go out there to party.
55:00 Speaker 08 They go crazy when it restarts.
55:02 Andrew Santino? It's right, it's right next to where my wife used to live, too. It's literally like in that Westwood neighborhood.
55:07 Speaker 08 That's the fun.
55:07 Andrew Santino? No, the doomsday clock, we're eighty-six seconds away from, from, eighty-five seconds away from it being over, I guess, and you know?
55:12 Speaker 08 What does that mean? We've been talking for eighty-five seconds.
55:16 Andrew Santino? At least.
55:17 Speaker 08 But that, the scope of time.
55:19 Andrew Santino? I think eighty-five seconds till midnight means, on the scale of the time of the earth, that's how much time we have.
55:26 Speaker 08 Right, we're so close.
55:26 Andrew Santino? We're pretty close to being the end. And honestly, I think it's a celebration.
55:30 Speaker 08 Yeah.
55:31 Andrew Santino? We don't deserve this to last forever.
55:34 Speaker 08 Yeah. How about all the time we did have?
55:36 Andrew Santino? So much.
55:37 Speaker 08 We had a full day.
55:38 Andrew Santino? It was pretty good.
55:39 Speaker 08 Yeah.
55:40 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I ju- I just think we can't get greedy.
55:42 Speaker 08 We can't get greedy.
55:43 Andrew Santino? Imagine if you ate a piece of cake and they never stopped bringing cake. It's like, come on, man, at some point you gotta run out of cake.
55:48 Speaker 08 Yeah.
55:49 Andrew Santino? And we're running out of cake.
55:50 Speaker 08 Yeah.
55:50 Andrew Santino? It's coming to a close.
55:52 Speaker 08 Have another, have a final slice.
55:53 Andrew Santino? Yeah. Aaron's got a great, uh, BBL. He got a Brazilian butt lift a couple of weeks ago.
55:59 Speaker 08 Yes.
56:00 Andrew Santino? Uh, do you care to talk about that? Was the surgery invasive, or how was that?
56:03 Speaker 08 Not invasive at all.
56:04 Andrew Santino? Really?
56:05 Speaker 08 They, I don't even know how BBL works, you know? It's an injection, no? No, it's not. It can't be.
56:12 Andrew Santino? Implants.
56:13 Speaker 08 Implants.
56:14 Andrew Santino? They literally implant.
56:15 Speaker 08 That kinda culture's over a little bit, don't you think?
56:18 Andrew Santino? Brother, we're bringing it back.
56:19 Speaker 08 You're bringing back BBL.
56:20 Andrew Santino? I am, single-handedly. I'm BBLing my way around town.
56:23 Speaker 08 That's why you're sitting kinda high up that chair.
56:24 Andrew Santino? It's my tits. It's my, it's my butt tits. That's what I call them. My little butt tits. I wanna get, I would love to get a BBL, cause I think it, men didn't jump on that train.
56:33 Speaker 08 Mm-hmm.
56:34 Andrew Santino? Why don't we deserve a nice, thick ass?
56:36 Speaker 08 What train?
56:37 Andrew Santino? On the BBL train, baby.
56:38 Speaker 08 Yeah.
56:39 Andrew Santino? Why wouldn't we deserve that?
56:40 Speaker 08 Yeah.
56:41 Andrew Santino? You know? I want a nice tush.
56:43 Speaker 08 You think it's a thing to deserve.
56:44 Andrew Santino? Yeah, we deserve it.
56:45 Speaker 08 I think it, it'd be very painful.
56:49 Andrew Santino? It'd be, well, what would-
56:50 Speaker 08 You couldn't, you'd have to sit on that donut for a little while.
56:52 Andrew Santino? Fine, I've had hemorrhoids before.
56:54 Speaker 08 Yeah.
56:54 Andrew Santino? You know it'd be painful if all the men had to turn away, that'd be painful. Sorry, boys. I'm taken, that would be painful.
57:00 Speaker 08 As he bounced down the street?
57:03 Andrew Santino? Just my cheeks like a cartoon from fucking
57:07 Andrew Santino? snapping back and forth. Did you guys watch cartoons as kids? Did you have cartoons in Australia?
57:11 Speaker 08 We had very primitive drawings, we had like-
57:15 Andrew Santino? It's all stick figures?
57:16 Speaker 08 Yeah.
57:17 Andrew Santino? Did you get American cartoons?
57:18 Speaker 08 For sure, yeah, we had a
57:22 Speaker 08 it depended on the kind of vibe, but we got a lot of anime as well.
57:26 Andrew Santino? Do you, do you like anime?
57:28 Speaker 08 When I was a kid, yeah, I liked Pokemon and like
57:31 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
57:31 Speaker 08 Iggyo, that's that kind of thing.
57:33 Andrew Santino? But what-
57:34 Speaker 08 We had Hey Arnold.
57:34 Andrew Santino? Oh, you did?
57:35 Speaker 08 We had Hey Arnold. What other cartoons did you, Simpsons?
57:39 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
57:39 Speaker 08 That's a nighttime-
57:40 Andrew Santino? SpongeBob?
57:41 Speaker 08 SpongeBob.
57:42 Andrew Santino? Was that big in Australia?
57:43 Speaker 08 Big, big everywhere.
57:44 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I guess that was-
57:45 Speaker 08 That's like Frasier levels.
57:47 Andrew Santino? I don't know if Sponge is bigger than Frasier. SpongeBob would like to think he's bigger than Frasier.
57:52 Speaker 09 Sponge is way bigger than Frasier.
57:53 Andrew Santino? Frasier is king, brother. Scrambled eggs!
57:57 Speaker 08 Scrambled eggs.
57:58 Andrew Santino? What a gross, scrambled eggs is such a gross visual too, it's a gross thing to scrambled eggs, although I like them visually gross. There's a handful of foods that are visually disgusting, but they're so good.
58:10 Speaker 08 They didn't even really try with scrambled eggs, they're just like
58:12 Andrew Santino? No, it's-
58:13 Speaker 08 mashing it all together.
58:14 Andrew Santino? Mash slop? Mash slop fluff?
58:16 Speaker 08 Yeah.
58:16 Andrew Santino? That's what we call it in my house, mash slop fluff.
58:18 Speaker 09 It's a metaphor for the mixed up mental emotional problems that the callers have.
58:22 Andrew Santino? Mm-hmm, yeah, I'm aware of what, what, when I say like my brain is scrambled eggs right now, I'm very aware of what it is. The idea that we moved on to was the food's visual versus its taste. But thank you for ruining
58:37 Andrew Santino? what's another food that you eat that you know looks gross but tastes amazing?
58:40 Speaker 08 Looks gross, tastes amazing.
58:43 Andrew Santino? Big fan of yogurt. And it's just gross.
58:46 Speaker 08 You think that looks gross?
58:48 Andrew Santino? It's, eh, I'm gonna be crass, but anything jizzy, it's creamy, anything jizzy creamy is.
58:53 Speaker 08 Yeah, interesting.
58:54 Andrew Santino? Oh, you like that?
58:56 Speaker 08 I don't mind yogurt. I like it.
59:00 Speaker 09 Bone marrow.
59:01 Speaker 08 Bone marrow?
59:02 Andrew Santino? Gross, so good.
59:03 Speaker 08 You like eating it?
59:04 Andrew Santino? Oh, yeah, it's delicious, it's delicious. You're not a Vegemite guy.
59:09 Speaker 08 I like, I like Vegemite.
59:10 Andrew Santino? Why do you guys lie?
59:11 Speaker 08 What do you mean?
59:12 Andrew Santino? You guys all say you like it, you don't, none of you like it. It's, it's, it is a very culturally strange thing because you guys all do this, all the people I've met that I'm friends with that are Australians. They go, no, I like it, I'm like, but you don't, because you don't own it or buy it, you have a jar somewhere.
59:26 Speaker 08 Yeah, I have a jar.
59:27 Andrew Santino? But you don't consume it.
59:29 Speaker 08 Really?
59:30 Andrew Santino? So you don't like it. That's, it's this weird cultural lie.
59:34 Speaker 08 I think is, if it's there, I'll have it. If it's there, I will have it.
59:38 Andrew Santino? When's the last time you had it?
59:40 Speaker 08 Long time ago.
59:40 Andrew Santino? You don't like it?
59:41 Speaker 08 But I'm living here now, this is not Vegemite city.
59:43 Andrew Santino? It's all over the place, you can go buy it, I can go buy, I'll go get it for you right now. We sell it here.
59:48 Speaker 08 I'll eat it, yeah.
59:49 Andrew Santino? But you don't want it.
59:50 Speaker 08 Not really, yeah, but I like it, I do like it. I love it, it's my favorite food, I'll never eat it.
59:56 Andrew Santino? This is what's funny, it's, this is like. What this is to Americans. Is like our staunchness about. Our constitution, where we're like, well, we, like, you have to defend it. Even though you're like, well, it's pretty fucking ridiculous.
1:00:16 Speaker 08 It's all we have.
1:00:17 Andrew Santino? That's what I mean, that's, this is the same way that Americans are, where we're like, no, we, it's, it's, uh.
1:00:22 Speaker 08 But you guys are the best at everything.
1:00:24 Andrew Santino? Thank you, you heard it here first from Aaron Chen, you better fucking.
1:00:27 Speaker 08 Best country.
1:00:28 Andrew Santino? Best country.
1:00:29 Speaker 08 Getting better every day.
1:00:30 Andrew Santino? Best coun- best countries. Cause we own everything, we're owning Greenland now, who else are we buying? Aren't we buying Venezuela?
1:00:36 Speaker 08 You got it.
1:00:37 Andrew Santino? We're gonna keep buying more, we're gonna keep consuming and buying more.
1:00:39 Speaker 08 It's awesome to buy a country, huh?
1:00:41 Andrew Santino? Pretty rad, pretty rock and roll.
1:00:43 Speaker 08 They never do that, well, you guys did do it, didn't you buy Alaska?
1:00:47 Andrew Santino? Uh, Alaska, I feel like we didn't buy, it was um, it was a trade, it was an ice trade.
1:00:54 Speaker 08 It was ice trade?
1:00:55 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
1:00:56 Speaker 09 We famously purchased Louisiana territory.
1:00:58 Andrew Santino? Yeah, we bought Louisiana.
1:01:00 Speaker 08 Uh huh, California?
1:01:02 Andrew Santino? California, uh.
1:01:04 Speaker 08 Was Mexico?
1:01:04 Andrew Santino? Was, was, well, everything in the southwest was.
1:01:07 Speaker 08 Okay.
1:01:07 Andrew Santino? And we, we didn't buy it, we came over and we said, we, we want this.
1:01:12 Speaker 08 We like it.
1:01:12 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
1:01:12 Speaker 08 It's nice, we like Hollywood, we love the movies.
1:01:15 Andrew Santino? And they said, no, and, because Hollywood was run by Mexicans, it was a Mexican.
1:01:20 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:01:20 Andrew Santino? The Mexican mafia.
1:01:21 Speaker 08 Uh huh.
1:01:22 Andrew Santino? Um, uh, but, we took it.
1:01:25 Speaker 08 You took it, yeah.
1:01:26 Andrew Santino? Yeah, yeah, we took it, and we're gonna own it forever, it's ours, and no one else gets it. America first, Australia third, who's second?
1:01:34 Speaker 08 Taiwan.
1:01:35 Andrew Santino? Taiwan?
1:01:36 Speaker 08 Taiwan.
1:01:37 Andrew Santino? Taiwan's always been second, in my heart.
1:01:42 Andrew Santino? Where are your parents, where are your parents from?
1:01:43 Speaker 08 Uh, China, China, Shanghai.
1:01:45 Andrew Santino? Shanghai, yeah.
1:01:46 Speaker 08 Shanghai, my dad, my mother's family's from Fujian, Fujian.
1:01:52 Andrew Santino? I love Fujian.
1:01:54 Speaker 08 Do you?
1:01:54 Andrew Santino? Yes. Fujian.
1:01:56 Speaker 08 That was very delicate.
1:01:58 Andrew Santino? Well, that's how you have it, Chinese.
1:02:00 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, the four sounds.
1:02:01 Andrew Santino? Yeah, you have to, the four little sounds.
1:02:03 Speaker 08 You're a master of it.
1:02:04 Andrew Santino? I, I'm learning.
1:02:05 Speaker 08 Very good.
1:02:06 Andrew Santino? Give me a, give me a phrase, let me see if I can, I can recite it back.
1:02:10 Speaker 08 Oh, you like, you want me to say something in Chinese?
1:02:13 Andrew Santino? That's right.
1:02:14 Speaker 08 What should I say?
1:02:15 Andrew Santino? Well, this is for you, man.
1:02:17 Speaker 08 Ni hao, wo shi Andrew.
1:02:20 Andrew Santino? Ni hao, wo shi Andrew.
1:02:23 Speaker 08 That's really good, and you hit it on the Andrew as well.
1:02:26 Andrew Santino? Yeah, Andrew.
1:02:26 Speaker 08 Andrew.
1:02:27 Andrew Santino? Ni hao, ni hao.
1:02:30 Speaker 08 Ni hao.
1:02:31 Andrew Santino? Ni hao.
1:02:32 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:02:32 Andrew Santino? Wo shi.
1:02:33 Speaker 08 Wo shi.
1:02:34 Andrew Santino? Wo shi.
1:02:36 Speaker 08 That's very good.
1:02:37 Andrew Santino? See, the only reason I'm able to do that well is because I can imitate accents very well.
1:02:41 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:02:42 Andrew Santino? If it wasn't for that, it'd be hard to learn a second language.
1:02:45 Speaker 08 Did you learn any Korean?
1:02:47 Andrew Santino? Uh, uh, is she a must say?
1:02:54 Speaker 08 That's really good. You've been learning on the fly in the wild. At Korean restaurants.
1:02:59 Andrew Santino? Bobby's mom will when they speak Korean in front of us, I'll try to pick up some stuff.
1:03:06 Speaker 08 You'll join in.
1:03:06 Andrew Santino? But he doesn't speak Korean well. He's very shit at Korean.
1:03:09 Speaker 08 Yeah, and you can tell. You don't even speak it.
1:03:12 Andrew Santino? I can tell he's bad. Because she gets annoyed with him when he's not speaking properly in Korean.
1:03:16 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:03:17 Andrew Santino? She gets very upset.
1:03:18 Speaker 08 Yes.
1:03:19 Andrew Santino? I think Steve knows more Korean than Bobby. I think his brother actually is more attuned to it. But Bobby just rejects it because of this like
1:03:28 Andrew Santino? because as a you would know nothing about this. But as an Asian
1:03:33 Speaker 08 Yes.
1:03:34 Andrew Santino? growing up in a neighborhood with all white people.
1:03:36 Speaker 08 All white.
1:03:37 Andrew Santino? Who make you feel bad about your history. He didn't want to be Korean. He didn't want to soak up all this Korean heritage because all of his friends were white San Diego punks. Did you grow up in a white neighborhood?
1:03:51 Speaker 08 Kind of, but I feel like that was more, I went to a middle school, high school. It's all combined. It's called high school in Australia.
1:03:58 Andrew Santino? Middle school and high school are one? So you're 17 going to school with a 12-year-old?
1:04:03 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:04:04 Andrew Santino? That's fucking insane. Like, I never understood that. These people should be broken up.
1:04:09 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:04:10 Andrew Santino? Those are children and then young adults.
1:04:12 Speaker 08 Yeah, it's 12 to 18, I guess.
1:04:15 Andrew Santino? Why would an 18-year-old be near a 12-year-old in the same school?
1:04:20 Andrew Santino? Not good.
1:04:22 Speaker 08 You're asking me like I decided that.
1:04:24 Andrew Santino? Did you decide it? Did you vote on it?
1:04:27 Speaker 08 I would vote to keep it going.
1:04:31 Speaker 08 If I could vote.
1:04:32 Andrew Santino? Middle school and high school are just called high school.
1:04:34 Speaker 08 That's
1:04:35 Andrew Santino? And prior to middle school, it's called what? Elementary or do you call it?
1:04:38 Speaker 08 We call it primary school.
1:04:39 Andrew Santino? Primary school.
1:04:40 Speaker 08 Primary.
1:04:41 Andrew Santino? Primary. Yeah, it's not primary, it's primary.
1:04:44 Speaker 08 Primary.
1:04:44 Andrew Santino? It's very British. See, that's the British influence on you guys. Fucking scumbag. That's the one thing we share. We hate Brits.
1:04:50 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:04:51 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
1:04:51 Speaker 08 Okay, I'll do it.
1:04:53 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I hate the Brits, dude. Who do they think they are, dude? No, we actually really enjoy the Brits.
1:04:57 Speaker 08 No, you don't like them.
1:04:59 Andrew Santino? No, we owned them. We own their ass.
1:05:01 Speaker 08 The Irish, really, they don't like it. On another level.
1:05:03 Andrew Santino? My people have a different problem with them, yeah. Yeah, we don't like them. They were bullies. They were mean. They were meanie weenies to us.
1:05:09 Speaker 08 Meanie weenies.
1:05:10 Andrew Santino? That's what we say in Ireland. Meanie weenies.
1:05:12 Speaker 08 Meanie weenies.
1:05:13 Andrew Santino? Yeah, that's what we call the Brits.
1:05:14 Speaker 08 Meanie weenies.
1:05:15 Andrew Santino? That's your Irish accent?
1:05:18 Speaker 08 Mani wenies.
1:05:19 Andrew Santino? That just sounds more Australian. Mani wenies. Down there's a bunch of mani wenies, you know them, those guys? Mani wenies? That sounds more bogan. Mani wenies.
1:05:29 Speaker 08 That's really good.
1:05:30 Andrew Santino? Yeah, not bad, right?
1:05:31 Speaker 08 That's really good.
1:05:32 Andrew Santino? I can tap in.
1:05:33 Speaker 08 Okay, tap in.
1:05:34 Andrew Santino? I can tap in pretty good. What's the difference in your mind between like Western Australian accents and and east coast accents?
1:05:42 Speaker 08 That's not where the separation lies. Cause you.
1:05:45 Andrew Santino? It's class based?
1:05:46 Speaker 08 It's all, yeah, I guess, yeah, you would say maybe it's class based, it's a bit like, um, there's like a, um, in Sydney, there's like a Western Sydney accent.
1:05:58 Andrew Santino? Yes.
1:05:59 Speaker 08 That's a beautiful accent. Do you know Nick Kyrgios, the tennis player?
1:06:02 Andrew Santino? Yeah, I love Kyrgios.
1:06:03 Speaker 08 He kinda, he's not from there, but he kinda has it, that's probably the closest worldwide example.
1:06:08 Andrew Santino? And you're east, you're, you're east Sydney.
1:06:11 Speaker 08 I'm from, I'm from like very far north in Sydney.
1:06:16 Andrew Santino? Like almost all the way up to?
1:06:18 Speaker 08 Central coast.
1:06:19 Andrew Santino? Okay, the central coast, beautiful place up there.
1:06:21 Speaker 08 Yeah, but we- Western Sydney, that's good, cause they have like all the like Asian people, Lebanese people, like Islander people.
1:06:28 Andrew Santino? mashed as one.
1:06:29 Speaker 08 mashed as one.
1:06:30 Andrew Santino? That's smart. And the Perth people, well, the Perth people.
1:06:34 Speaker 08 Mm hmm.
1:06:35 Andrew Santino? Very nice, by the way, underrated.
1:06:37 Speaker 08 Underrated.
1:06:38 Andrew Santino? Underrated Perth.
1:06:39 Speaker 08 It's a good city.
1:06:40 Andrew Santino? No, it's fucking awesome. What'd you say? I said very underrated. It was crazy underrated.
1:06:44 Speaker 08 You went down as well?
1:06:45 Andrew Santino? We all, yeah. He did, and people were like, you, people were asking us, they're like, you're gonna go to Perth? And we were like, yeah, and they're like, it's so far away.
1:06:51 Speaker 08 Perth is good, yeah.
1:06:52 Andrew Santino? Perth is rad. That was the finale. Yeah. That's where we ended. We had so much fun.
1:06:57 Speaker 08 That's the west coast.
1:06:57 Andrew Santino? Loved it. I actually really enjoyed it, I'm not gonna lie, I think they got, I think shout out Perth, they don't get enough love. They really don't.
1:07:04 Speaker 08 Shout out Perth.
1:07:04 Andrew Santino? Shout out Perth. And no shout out to.
1:07:07 Speaker 08 What's the worst city you went to?
1:07:10 Speaker 09 Memphis?
1:07:11 Andrew Santino? Yeah, Memphis, yeah.
1:07:12 Speaker 08 Memphis, Tennessee.
1:07:13 Andrew Santino? Yeah, tough, tough place.
1:07:14 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:07:15 Andrew Santino? Tough place, tough vibe.
1:07:16 Speaker 08 Yes.
1:07:17 Andrew Santino? Tough vibe. Cause I like Tennessee as a state, like Knoxville, like Nashville.
1:07:22 Speaker 08 Why is Memphis tough? Elvis came from there. I guess he's a tough guy.
1:07:25 Andrew Santino? Tough guy.
1:07:26 Speaker 08 Tough guy, could never stand up to his manager.
1:07:28 Andrew Santino? That's exactly right.
1:07:29 Speaker 09 Elvis would have loved your guys' school system.
1:07:31 Andrew Santino? Yeah. Yeah. He was a big fan.
1:07:34 Speaker 08 Interesting.
1:07:35 Andrew Santino? Yeah, yeah.
1:07:36 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:07:37 Andrew Santino? I think when he got married, his daughter was four? I think right, isn't that right? She was four?
1:07:42 Speaker 08 When he, when, when he?
1:07:44 Andrew Santino? He married a four-year-old.
1:07:46 Speaker 08 He married a four-year-old?
1:07:47 Andrew Santino? Yep.
1:07:47 Speaker 08 Are you serious?
1:07:48 Speaker 09 Famously.
1:07:48 Andrew Santino? That's what Jailhouse Rock is about.
1:07:51 Speaker 08 She was four?
1:07:52 Andrew Santino? I'm gonna go to the Jailhouse Rock. No, she wasn't four, she was an adult. I actually, no, that's not true, right? Wasn't she sixteen?
1:07:59 Speaker 09 He was, he was fourteen when he met her. And he was like twenty, like four or something.
1:08:04 Andrew Santino? Yeah.
1:08:05 Speaker 08 But he had no Kendrick Lamar, you know, there was no guy.
1:08:07 Andrew Santino? Yeah, right, couldn't, yeah, he couldn't get draked, yeah.
1:08:10 Speaker 08 Yeah, yeah, so he just cruised.
1:08:12 Andrew Santino? And that's like, that's like Munson, he couldn't get draked, man. Couldn't get draked, man. Yeah, Elvis was a, a very, it's funny, because he is regarded by a generation above mine of like, this like god-like creature, and then.
1:08:30 Speaker 08 But there's so much Elvis for us now, there's like three movies about Elvis.
1:08:33 Andrew Santino? But as we exposed him over time, we're like, this guy was terrible.
1:08:37 Speaker 08 Yeah.
1:08:37 Andrew Santino? Like, this is terrible on like a million levels.
1:08:39 Speaker 09 And one of Elvis' movies stars Australia's own Jacob Elordi.
1:08:42 Speaker 08 Jacob Elordi, there you go.
1:08:43 Andrew Santino? I'll tell you what, when we went and toured Graceland, the woman who toured us around was like mind-blown that people, he was a bunch of young kids, it was probably high school tours or whatever, and they kept stopping and noticing me and recognizing us, and she was like, I'm sorry, I don't know who you are, and I said, that's okay. I said, young people know us because of the internet. And she goes, "Well, it's crazy because I had Austin Butler here who played Elvis in the movie, and ain't nobody recognized him at all." And I said, "Well, that's pretty impressive." And I'm gonna say that on every podcast from now on. Austin Butler, I'm more famous than you, pal.
1:09:16 Speaker 08 That shows you the way of the world now.
1:09:18 Andrew Santino? It's the internet.
1:09:19 Speaker 08 It's the internet.
1:09:19 Andrew Santino? The web, dude.
