Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Surviving & Thriving 20 Years in Online Entertainment

[00:39–02:09]

• Tim’s YouTube origin: Started channel in 2006, approaching 20 years on the platform (“Next year will be my 20th year on YouTube. The hell, crazy, right?” [00:39])
• Notes shrinking numbers of OGs from the early days, most having left for ordinary jobs or to avoid burnout.
• Adapting to change: Talks about the internet’s evolving trends—audience ages, content forms shift (YouTube → TikTok → livestreams/podcasts).
• Personal approach: Still does much of his own editing due to his “specific sense of humor”—picky about which jokes stay in. ([00:00] and [02:09])

2. Social Media Virality, Editing, and Creator Authenticity

[00:00–02:31; 25:00–25:58]

• Tim stalks platforms for “hot takes,” jokes about going viral with fake conspiracy theories (like “wearing socks causes cancer” [02:48]).
• Reels & shorts rule the day; viral content is often about quick impact but isn’t always meaningful. Tim feels longer YouTube subs are more loyal—prefers deeper connections over fleeting virality.
• Notable Quote: “I’d rather have 10k on YouTube than 10 million on TikTok.” —Tim [25:21]

3. Conspiracies & Internet Absurdity

[02:41–06:16]

• Jokingly proposes outlandish health conspiracies for comedic effect: “If you look at the fungus that builds in your toes when you wear hot shoes...the sulfur starts to marinate, and then those cause the cancerous cells to multiply.” —Tim [03:00]
• Shares a skeptical attitude toward mainstream “classic” conspiracies: moon landing, JFK, 9/11, but distances himself from the flat Earth theory.

4. Asian Representation in Media & Tim’s Personal Journey

[08:24–10:06; 10:53–11:12]

• Discusses how being Asian was a challenge in early acting/TV: only stereotypical roles available unless one did it themselves.
  • “As far as, I don’t know, like an Asian dude just getting auditions for just regular parts, you know...I had to grind for like 10 to 15 years online to get my face known.” —Tim [08:24]
• YouTube was a solution: “That’s why I got on YouTube in the first place… put my own shit out there.” [09:42]
• Reminisces about the “yellow age” of YouTube—early Asian-American dominance.
• Goes deep on the evolution of several YouTube OGs (KevJumba’s Hare Krishna period, NigaHiga’s semi-retirement).

5. Culture: Asian Upbringing, Geography, and Food

[11:18–15:48]

• Sean and Tim swap stories about their ethnic backgrounds, growing up Asian, and cultural stereotypes.
• East Coast vs. West Coast: “There’s a difference between LA and Hollywood… everything people hate about LA is just Hollywood, but you came here to be famous…” —Tim [13:23]
• Food debates: Tim hosts a food podcast and claims LA has the best food, but New York is more convenient for great eats. Adds, “You just gotta know where to go” in LA. [14:45]
• Pizza: “I’m not gonna argue with that,” regarding NY pizza supremacy—draws a parallel with LA tacos. [15:55]

6. Humor, Sex, and Relationship Real Talk

[16:23–18:49]

• Raunchy food talk veers into comedic sex commentary (“If you eat too much ass, it gives you cancer…” [17:08]), East Coast “mustiness,” and not kink-shaming anyone’s fetishes.
• Tim’s candid storytelling about cultural differences and sexual honesty brings levity and authenticity.

7. Business & Career Growth: Acting, Music, and Staying Hungry

[19:12–21:16]

• Describes the “levels” of the entertainment industry—still striving for higher-status events (Emmys, etc.), “still grinding” to break into mainstream network television.
• Reflects on creative milestones: TV (Wild ‘N Out), movies, music, and onward goals: “I just still feel like I got things I want to do, you know?” [20:41]
• Recalls how early success as an independent music artist (“Traffic” was his rap name [24:02]) led to connecting with Nick Cannon and opportunities beyond YouTube.

8. The Podcast Hustle

[26:16–27:26]

• Tim runs three podcasts:
  • Dudes Behind the Foods: food, travel, “and...eating ass” [26:58]
  • No Chaser: started as sex/relationship podcast, now also covers current events and comedy.
  • A new advice podcast with Megan Batoon.
• Talks about creative synergy, evolving formats, and why podcasting keeps things fresh.

9. Relationships: Friendships, Distance, and Marriage

[27:27–32:14]

• Can men and women be friends? Tim says yes, with caveats (“If the girl is attractive...the guy will be like, okay. But I think it’s possible to be friends and not be weird.” [27:44])
• Shares that his homegirl from high school, now his children’s OB-GYN, proves genuine platonic friendships can exist.
• Candid details about his own seven-year long-distance relationship (“You just gotta be...very specific things that need to come into play for distance to work, but it’s possible.” [29:31]); notes frequent travel and trust are essential.
• Married for 7 years, together for 14.

10. Comedy, Movie Dreams & The Business of Creating

[37:32–38:16]

• Tim is working on writing an “on-brand stupid comedy” — his first film script — eyes on a low-budget indie if no studios bite.
• Discusses the costs of production, DIY vs. Hollywood approach, and the learning process of movie writing as opposed to quick online content.

11. Real Life: ADHD, Habits, and Relatable Flaws

[32:41–36:50]

• Tim and Sean comically bond over forgetting to flush due to ADHD. Tim tells his wife’s solution: “She was making me pay her 100 every time I forgot to flush...one month I had to give her like 600.” [36:05]
• Both detail their ADHD diagnoses (Zoom vs. brain scan), question the prevalence and meaning of such modern labels.

12. Weddings & Honeymoons: Modern Rituals and Costs

[38:29–41:18]

• Sean vents about modern wedding expenses: “The photographer was 10k...flowers 30,000 and they’re dead in two days” [38:33–38:57]
• Tim reflects his own costs and concludes: “I had so much fun. I would do it again 100%. No regrets about any of it, bro.” [39:55 & 41:18]
• Both share stories about honeymoons (Maldives, delayed due to immigration) and the joy of the experience.

13. Faith, Upbringing, and Staying Grounded

[31:46–32:31]

• Tim grew up Christian, went to Christian school, has a personal (if informal) relationship with God, acknowledges “giving credit for blessings,” and believes having faith is grounding in today’s world.

[B]

The.

[A]

The fungus that builds in your toes when you wear hot shoes, right? What happens is the amalgamation of the photosynthesis from the. The sulfur on the bottom of your toes starts to marinate, and then those cause the cancerous cells to multiply.

[B]

Holy crap.

[A]

Wear any socks?

Damn. Barefoot?

[A]

Who knows? I mean, you know, I like my. My water with a little bit of microplastics, though.

[B]

Like the plastic water bottles.

[A]

When you let that shit marinate in your hot car for like a day and then you pop it open the next day, it kind of has that little bit of seasoning that I think just takes the next level, you know?

[B]

I was hit a little different.

[A]

Yeah. I also liked, like, a little bit of smog in my air, you know what I'm saying? Like, I think just growing up in la, I got used to it. So if I go to a city that has, like, fresh air, like, I was in Ohio for, like a week, and I'm like, it's too fresh. It was hitting me weird saying. I was like, yeah, this is. I don't like the freshness.

[B]

I'm sure when you see the chemtrails, you're like, when we get out there.

[B]

JFK. Oh, no, that's too political.

[A]

Bush did 9 11. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, the basic ones, the ones that everybody kind of flat Earth. Flat Earth. I'm not a flat earther. No, not a flat earther, but I don't know, man. I got homies that will ride or die for the flat earth.

[B]

They're pretty compelling people.

[A]

I know. And they say the shit to you in the right way. And you start to think about it, you know, like, oh, I'm at the.

[B]

Point where I need to go to Antarctica to find out for myself to actually peek over. The thing is, you can't go there without someone with you. Have you seen that conspiracy.

So is that, like, to keep people from peeking over the. The edge of the world? What the. But hey, man, flat Earthers might be right. I mean, who knows? I guess we'll never know.

[B]

We'll never know. What else is another conspiracy? So many these days. I don't know on Twitter without seeing one.

[A]

The moon landing shit is for sure something. I'm like, okay, let's see.

[B]

[B]

Wear socks anymore, guys?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Boxers. Don't wear those bras.

Bras are bad. Titties are bad for titties. What do they do?

[B]

Microplastic.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah, bro.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Look at all the breast cancer rates.

[A]

It's out there.

[B]

It's out there, bro. This video is going to get hit for misinformation. Big Pharma is going to have a field day at this. Be Medical claims I'm an expert. Vaccines.

[A]

Ah, yes, the vaccines. Of course.

[B]

I'll get you censored.

[A]

You say what?

[B]

I'll get you censored.

[A]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not even going to touch it, bro.

[B]

You know how to move, being 20 years in this space.

[A]

Hey, man, look, I don't like. Nope. No, thank you. No comment. I'm good. I stay away.

[B]

That affects the bag.

[A]

I'm just here, you know, I got.

[B]

I got other.

[A]

I'm trying to do, man. I'm trying to. I'm like. I'm. I've been grinding for a long time because I've had a lot of things that I, like, still feel like I need to, like, hit and things I need to accomplish.

[B]

So 20 years in, you still feel that way?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I feel like I'm really just beginning to get in the door and get in the rooms that I want to be in, you know?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, I've been on tv, but also it's like as far as, I don't know, like an Asian dude just getting auditions for just regular parts, you know, I feel like I had to grind for like 10 to 15 years online to get my face known to be in an atmosphere where, you know, things got a little more diverse. Now I'm finally like, it's an audition, I'll get an audition. It's like, oh, this is like for anybody. You don't have to do an accent. You know what I'm saying? It's like this, that's just probably just started happening in the past few years, you know. So I feel like I've been grinding for so long and it was, there was a point where people with a following, it's like, that's how you know, they would be like, oh, what's your name? What's your age? And how many followers do you have? And that kind of, that was a phase because then I feel like they began to realize that not everybody that has a following can actually like, like act or, or do shit, you know. And then I think, you know, but, but I was able to kind of use that to get in there. Because once you, you get in there, then it's like you're, you're there, you know. And then people and I think traditional media was kind of looking like, oh, who these like fucking online people were trying to, trying to get in there. But I think for me, it wasn't so much of a shortcut because I grinded for so long to even get these numbers to even just like crack the door open.

[B]

So you felt like being Asian held you back a little?

[A]

Yeah, for sure. It just wasn't a whole lot of opportunities if you were Asian and not trying to do stereotypical shit, you know, Especially when I first started, like, you know, I got an agent, I was doing that whole shit, I was auditioning, but there was really nothing out there. That's why I got on YouTube in the first place, you know, I was like, all right, whatever this website is, let me see if I can just put my own shit out there and see what happens.

[B]

No respect, man.

[A]

Thanks, man.

[B]

Asians took over the early days of YouTube.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was like a golden age, a yellow age.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

We were at the forefront of that for sure.

[B]

Yeah. You guys were running it up back in the day.

[A]

Yeah, man. We still out here? No, no, none of them do it anymore.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah. I don't know what happened to Kev.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, you know, people. He went and he was like. He's like a monk.

[B]

What?

[A]

Yeah, actually, he'd had, like, a phase. He's, like, heavy into the. If you're the Hare Krishna religion. What the hell is that? It's. You ever see the guys with the bells and the pamphlets and they dance around and they. And they. And they have the little bells. If you look up, like, Kev Jumba. Hare Krishna or Hare Krishna, you will find videos of him with them passing out, like, passing out pamphlets.

[B]

Holy crap.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. So I don't know if he's still doing that, but that was. That was a phase.

[B]

He went Jay Shetty.

[A]

Yeah, I guess so.

[B]

You know, full on monk. Wow.

[A]

And then. And Niga Higa. Ryan is. He's just. I think he's streaming here and there. Streaming video games. We kind of just retired, too. He's doing his thing. Just chilling.

[B]

That's nuts.

[A]

Yeah, man.

[B]

Well, they're legends, you know. They deserve their flowers for sure. That is crazy.

[A]

Are you.

Your face, bro.

[A]

Yeah, I know. You know, I heard something that was. I'm, you know, I'm not going to argue with that. Where they say, like, West Coast. Well, I'll say this. Hollywood people, LA will. If you have like an issue or like a problem, they'll. They'll smiling, they'll be nice to you to your face. And then. I forgot it. Never mind.

[B]

I know you're looting too. I know. They'll do it behind your badge.

[A]

New York people will be like, what the is wrong. Call you an idiot, but then help you out. When LA people will be like, you know, oh, my God, are you okay? But then, like, not offer any help, you know, something like that.

[B]

Well, social status matters more here, right?

[A]

Yeah, you know, it depends, right? So I was like, I try to tell people there's a difference between LA and Hollywood because people conflate those two, you know, I'm saying you get this image of Hollywood and California and that's why people come to la, you know what I'm saying? Because they want to, you know, pictures with the palm trees and they want to be Kim Kardashian and they want to be like movie stars and shit, right? But then it's like everything they hate about LA is just Hollywood, like the fakeness and like, people using you and all that. But it's like you're here for a reason, you know? I'm saying you didn't move from fudgeing Oshkosh, Wisconsin to make friends. You came here because you wanted to be an actor, you wanted to be a model, whatever, whatever. So they surround themselves with other people that aren't from here and they go to these Fucking rooftop parties. And they mingle with other people trying to be famous. So it's like, obviously you're only connecting with people that want to either, like, work or see how they can also get on.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You know I'm saying? So you have people complaining about L. A who aren't from LA because they've been hanging out with people who aren't from la, and then they get bitter when they're lonely and shit because, like, oh, they like, oh, I don't have real friends out here. Everyone's fake. It's like, no, dog, you came out here to, to be famous and now you're mad because you're not famous. You know, that's a good point.

[B]

Great point. Okay, LA or West coast versus east coast food? Because I know you have a food podcast.

[A]

I do, I do.

[B]

All over the country.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Which one has better food?

[A]

Here's the thing. I will say LA has the best food.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

But. But I love eating in New York because New York, I feel like it's easier to get to the good food. It's more of a centralized situation or, you know, you hop on the train, whatever. It's quick, right? Out here in la, there's good food, but you got to know where to go because LA is so big and you got all these little, like, separate areas, right? So it's like people from New York would be like, I can't find good Chinese food, but in la. But then it's like you got to go to like, Mon. Monterey park, or you got to go to the O.C. you know what I'm saying? Well, that's, that's not technically la, but you just got to know where to go, you know? And then sometimes because of traffic, that'll be like a good 40 minute, 40, like hour drive if you really want to go to a specific restaurant, you know, and then like, you tell someone, someone from New York that they're like, oh, nah, we not. No, thank you. You know what I'm saying? So they just order from somewhere quick and then it's. It's usually trash.

[B]

No, that's facts. That's a good take. That's a real good take. You're not going to be stuck in New York traffic. Yeah, yeah, you just take the train.

[A]

You just take the train or you walk. You motherfuckers love to walk. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah.

[B]

Pizza's hard to beat, though.

[A]

I'm not gonna argue with that. Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with that. Just because I feel like New Yorkers feel the same way about their pizza the way we feel about their. Our tacos out here. You know what I'm saying? Like, I wouldn't. Even though I know I've been a really good, like, Mexican spots in New York. I just feel weird about eating tacos when I'm not in la.

[B]

Yeah, the tacos are different out here. I struggle to find them in Vegas.

[A]

Yeah, I bet. But Vegas has really good food, too, though.

[B]

We got some good spots. Yeah. Because we import everything. Every restaurant you could think of is. We got Carbone. We got it all.

[A]

All the best spots, pretty much.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah. Shout out to Vegas. You put pineapple on your pizza.

[A]

I do.

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

Not all the time. Not all the time. Just sometimes.

[B]

I've never tried it, but I just heard it's not good.

[A]

It's an. It's a good, salty, sweet situation if you. With that. You know? Here's the thing. I used to work in California pizza kitchen for a while. All right? And you could do barbecue chicken pizza, add bacon, add pineapple, kind of a fire combination, Dip it in a ranch. You know, I'll try it.

[B]

I mean, I hate to talk about something I never tried.

[A]

There you go, Doc.

[B]

You know, I've eaten some wild, though.

[A]

Like what, dude?

[B]

I'm Asian. I mean, ass once. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Okay. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, of course, if you're in love, you got to do it.

[B]

Yeah. It's kind of required. Right.

[A]

But here's the thing. If you eat too much ass, it gives you cancer. Because the thing about it, try to give you some hot takes, bro.

[B]

Yeah. You can't eat too much. You gotta eat. Eat a little bit. Right?

[A]

Only out the shower. Only for the ones you love.

[B]

Gotta be clean.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

People do it after the gym.

[A]

You know what? Here's the thing. And I've told this story on my podcast before, of course, but if we talk about east coast people and walking everywhere, I think y' all don't mind being musty because you walk around so much. So it was a girl I was messing with in New York. She was like, yeah, you know, I'm gonna come through after work. And I'm like, okay, cool. We gonna do this and that. I was very, like. I was. I'm. You know, I'm gonna go down on you. I'm a. I'm a, you know, do everything right. So she was like, cool. I. I work close by. I'm gonna hop off the train. And then it's just like, eight blocks. I'M gonna walk over there. I was like, okay, cool. Thinking she's gonna hop in the shower, something a little rinse after this, after work and eight blocks. But she just came. And mind you, she's layered up because, you know, it be cold out there. So she got coats on. Coats. She takes everything off. She just walked. And I'm like, are you gonna go rinse off in my head? But she just lays in the bed. I'm like, oh, y' all are just comfortable with getting your musty cooch eating out here. Interesting.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

And I. I did it.

[B]

Why'd you do it?

[A]

Well, you know, I ain't no bitch.

[B]

Did you hold your breath?

[A]

Nah. I mean, it wasn't like. It was. It wasn't. It wasn't like stinky. It was a little musty, but I just wasn't used to that, you know, there's.

[B]

Sometimes you got to hold your breath, though. Hey, it is what it is. Yeah. It's part of the game, I guess. Nah, people. People have their kinks and fetishes. I don't. I don't kink shame, you know, Me neither.

[A]

Everybody's different. Everybody got their own stuff that they're into.

[B]

Yeah. I'm sure you've seen it all out here.

[A]

Everybody's. Everybody got.

[B]

Everybody's been at some ditty parties.

[A]

I've never been to the city party, but look, back in the day, if I get invited to a ditty party, I would have. Yeah, of course.

[B]

Why wouldn't I network and meet people.

[A]

And get baby walled up?

[B]

Maybe skip out for it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Skip the after. After party.

[A]

Yeah. I probably wouldn't have been invited to all that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Who knows? That's the goal, though. To work to where you're famous enough to where maybe you could get invited to a diddy party before they got exposed for whatever was going on there.

[B]

You know, Someone else will take the mantle.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Were you at the Emmys last night?

[A]

I was not. No, I was not. Now. I had a show in San Diego last night and just got some tacos and laid out.

[B]

Okay. Little chill night. What are those award shows like, those high end award shows?

[A]

I mean, I've never been, bro.

[B]

Oh, really? That's why we're wilding out.

[A]

That's why I'm still working dog. The best I've been to. I mean, I would say the most, like, I don't know, prestigious award show I've been to was like the VMAs, because, you know, just MTV gang. But I've never been like The Emmys or the Grammys or the Oscar.

[B]

So there's levels.

[A]

There's for sure levels.

[B]

You want to be at that level.

[A]

And I'm still working, you know, to get there. Yeah.

[B]

Going all in on acting right now, getting the movie.

[A]

I'm. Yeah, I'm auditioning. I just booked a show that I just. I wrapped. We. We filmed a season of it. And I'm, like, auditioning heavy. I'm trying to write a movie and, you know, while I still. While I still look young enough, you know, I'm saying. So just grinding, man.

[B]

You're a lot, man. I like your commitment because you said you've been trying to act for 20 years, right?

[A]

I've been, like, just trying to be a successful entertainer from the jump, you know? And, like, YouTube was a blessing. I have. I mean, look, I have technically checked off all the boxes that I wanted to accomplish. You know what I'm saying? Like, I wanted to do tv. I did that Wild N Out and like, a couple other shows. And, like, I wanted to do movies. I've done a couple shitty movies.

[B]

You gotta start somewhere.

[A]

You gotta start somewhere. You know, I wanted to rap. And, like, during the golden age of the YouTube shit, I was really able to, like, perform my music, like, all over the world, you know, and that was fun. And I dropped music that people really enjoyed, but I just still feel like I got things I want to do, you know? So I'm just grinding, trying to take everything I've already done and just elevate, take a next level. Like, yeah, I've done a couple shitty indie movies, but I'd love to be, like, real, like real, real, real movie, you know? And yeah, I've, like, I did while and now, which was great blessing. So fun, but also, like, if I could get on, like, a network, abc, NBC, show, like, that's that. That would be lit, you know, so.

[B]

You know, respect, dude. Yeah, you've done a lot. Thanks, man. I gotta hear who you think the goat of rap is.

[A]

The goat of rap. You know, lyrically, one of my biggest inspirations was Andre 3000. I'm a big Outkast fan. Busta Rhymes is who made me want to rap as a youngin. And, you know, Tupac.

[B]

Good answers. I thought you were gonna say Eminem.

[A]

Oh, I mean, Eminem. I'm not gonna. Look, I give all respect to Eminem. I still listen to Eminem too. I'm not one of those, like, hey, the kids don't listen to Eminem. And that might be true, but no, I give all respect to Eminem. I love Eminem, man. I'm an Eminem fan. You know, I didn't. I didn't like, buy the. The last album, but it was some. I listened to the singles.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Fire. I appreciate it. Yeah.

[B]

That's where we're at today. It's all about singles, right?

[A]

I know.

[B]

It's not about the album.

[A]

You know, I was just listening to an album on my drive from San Diego, and it was like, I told Siri to put on the whole album. And I don't know, do kids still do that? Do they listen to albums? Like, are they like, yo, play this whole collect?

[B]

Just songs. Yeah, songs and playlists.

[A]

Because back in my day, bro, you know, if someone dropped, you go buy their at the store and you play the whole thing front to back. Are you crazy? You sit back and you play it. You might even play it three times to make sure you, like, fully took it all in. And people would be like, you could go to the homie and be like, oh, yeah, Jay Z. Black album just dropped. Did you hear track six? And the homie would know the name of the track.

[B]

Crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, it ain't like that. Nah. I think artists are just dropping singles these days.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because the album sales aren't hitting what they used to.

[A]

Right, right, right, right.

[B]

People aren't buying them anymore.

[A]

I know. People probably aren't even, like, doing physical copies anymore.

[B]

Like, what's the point?

[A]

I was wasting.

[B]

I used to buy songs for a dollar on itunes. I was like, the tail end of that. But now everything's free.

[A]

I know. And that's annoying because someone can go like, platinum off just having a shitty song because people want to listen to it. You know what I'm saying? You just want to see what it's about. So then terrible music getting like gold plaques, and it's crazy.

[B]

Yeah, that's true. Did you have any songs I hit hit those statuses?

[A]

No, I had them when I put out. I was. So if we talking Internet grind, Billboard, a long time ago, they had this list that they debuted. It was called the uncharted chart. And it was for basically everybody that was. Wasn't signed that was doing shit online. So when that shit first dropped, I was the number one artist on there. This was back. Like, this is probably2012. Yeah, yeah. This is back when I was going by. My old rap name was Traffic. That was my rap name.

[B]

Traffic.

[A]

Traffic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What a name. Yeah, yeah. And. And that's actually how Nick Cannon came to to find me, kind of. Because when I auditioned for Wild and Out, he was like, oh, what's up, traffic? I was like, what the. Why do you even know that? You know? But he was managing an artist who was also on that Billboard list. So he was going through the list of people, and that's how he saw me. So he knew me as a comedian and a ra which was. Which was crazy. Yeah. So that was. That was fun. Shout out to Nick Cannon.

[B]

Do they still have that list?

[A]

The uncharted chart? I don't know. They probably changed the name by now. You know what I'm saying? Because I think now with everybody streaming, I don't know, like, the lines are so blurry, you know, you put. Because back then it was like, oh, shit. If you guys. You had to know somebody to even be on itunes, you know, I'm saying now it's like you go through any website you can and you have your track on itunes, you know?

[B]

Yeah. I stopped looking at those charts because, like, Russ kind of exposed them. Like, it's kind of pay to play.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Word. I used to look at those top hundred charts, like, the hot songs.

[A]

Now it's like, what's the point?

[B]

How much should you pay?

[A]

I mean, that's the thing about it too, is, like, if we talking about lists, you know, it's crazy because on YouTube, it used to be when someone had like a million subscribers, it was like, oh, this is crazy. But now, like, on TikTok, it's. It's a. Like, it'll be like people like 12 million followers who I've never, ever, ever seen, ever. You know what I'm saying? So it's kind of like I'd rather.

[B]

Have 10k on YouTube than 10 million on TikTok. Oh, right. D, bro.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Because the YouTube audience is long form. It's a parasocial relationship. Like, Tick Tock. You could walk out anywhere, no one will know who you are.

[A]

Isn't that crazy?

[B]

It's crazy. I know, but I see it all the time.

[A]

It's like so many people. Because I have. Yeah, I have like, 1.7 on tick tock, but I feel like. And I have 1.5 on Instagram and I've had it for years. It just doesn't go up right. But like, I feel like even on between Instagram and Tick Tock, I feel like the Instagram people actually, like, truly with me.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And the Pixar people are like, you know, it's like they're just constantly Scrolling and following whoever. You know what I'm saying?

[B]

Not even close. Yeah. Tick tock brain, they call it. Two seconds, I'm out. You know, they don't care about you.

[A]

That's why we need a viral moment. Well, here's the thing. When you eat too much ass, what happens is you get cancer. Yes.

[B]

Don't. Don't eat ass, kids. Don't eat ass. We'll link the study below.

[A]

Only the ones you know. All right.

[B]

Yeah. Be careful, guys. You have three shows. So one of them is a food show.

[A]

Yeah, I got three podcasts, and. Yeah. One is. It's called Dudes behind the Foods. Me and my boy David, so he's a comedian foodie as well. We used to have like. Like a travel food show called Send Foods where we were, like, travel all over the United States and go to different food festivals and just eat and, like, drink and. Yeah. And talk. It was. And that was fun. So we were doing that. Now it's kind of morphed. It's called. It's called When Foodie calls, but we don't do it as often. And so the podcast, it was just us talking about our food adventures, and then, like, our travel adventures, and we bring each other food to eat on the show, and then we just end up, you know, talking about, like, you know, eating ass.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

See? Like that. And then my oldest podcast is called no Chaser. That's me and my boy Rick and my co host, Nikki Blades. We. It started off as like. Like a sex and relationship podcast, and then. And now it's just kind of like, you know, current events. Just. Just silly, silly apping.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And then I just started one. It's a advice podcast with my homegirl, Megan Batoon. And that is just like, yapping and answering advice. That's my homegirl or your home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Do you think guys and girls could be friends?

[A]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's possible guys and girls can be friends. It's possible. Guys, I mean, but look, I feel like if the girl is attractive at any point, the girl could be like, hey, would you like to have sex? And the guy will be like, okay, facts. Yeah, but.

[B]

So you acknowledge that part of it, I think.

[A]

Of course. You know, I don't. I don't know if a guy is ever going to be like, my really hot friend wants to have sex with me. We're both single. This is weird. This is weird. I don't know if I'm comfortable with this. I don't know if that part exists in our brains. You feel me? But I think it's possible to be friends and not make her uncomfortable and not be weird. Yeah, I think it's possible.

[B]

What's the longest friendship with the girl? How many years? That's right now that you haven't had.

[A]

Sex with my homegirl Bri, from high school. I've known her since we were like, 15, 16. Yeah, yeah, we're still cool, man. Yeah, yeah. She actually. And she's a OBGYN now, and she actually helped my wife birth our two babies.

[B]

No way.

[A]

Yeah. She delivered my baby. Yeah, man.

[B]

You're proving it. You're living proof. Yeah, bro. Well done, man.

[A]

Thanks, man.

[B]

It is possible. Yeah. I don't have any girlfriends, to be honest.

[A]

No homegirls at all?

[B]

No homegirls.

[A]

Interesting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Why not?

[B]

I just don't think it's possible.

[A]

Really? Why? Oh, because they all just want to get some big Chinese dick, huh? Some big, tall, chirish dick.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're like, can we just play video games? And they're just tugging at your. Huh?

[B]

Nah. Yeah, they just want it so badly. I don't know what to say, man. No, for me, it's like a respect thing too.

[A]

I feel it.

[B]

You know, I'm getting married next month.

[A]

Oh, congrats. That's amazing.

[B]

So I just don't want to be. Be chilling one on one with a girl.

[A]

No, I feel it. I don't. Look, I. That's a lie. I was gonna say. I. I was gonna say I wasn't chilling. Chilling one on one with girls when I was. When I got with my current. Like, my wife, but that's not true because we were long distance, so I would be like, hey, babe, I'm gonna get some dinner with my homegirl.

[B]

Like, yeah, you're proven everyone wrong. You're proven distance can work. You're proven men and women distance can work.

[A]

You just gotta be. It's. It's certain. It's like a handful of very specific things that need to come into play for distance to work, but it's possible.

[B]

How. How long were you at distance for?

[A]

Seven years.

[B]

Holy. Yeah. Yeah. Seven years.

[A]

Yeah, You.

[B]

Seven years.

[A]

Long distance.

[B]

How often would you see each other, on average, in person?

[A]

Every month.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And that's why I feel like it can work, because it. For one, you need to be able to. You need to have enough money to be able to travel to see each other consistently. Because if she was like, I don't know, in Amsterdam and we could only see each other, like, every Six months then. I don't know if that would have worked, but the fact that, you know, she was just like a flight away in Canada, and we. And we both had our own, like, jobs where she had her own nail salon. And I was just doing the YouTube shit, so it's like, I don't need to be like, clocking into work every day. She could take off work whenever she wanted, so we could fly in and out whenever we wanted. And we also, like, just both, like, just trusted each other.

[B]

Well done, dude. I'm impressed. Thanks, man. That's the longest I've heard. Seven years for a distance relationship.

[A]

Yeah, bro. Locked it down. We've been married for, let's see, it's 20. 20, 20, 25. We got married. We've married for seven years now.

[B]

Well done.

[A]

And we've been together for 14.

[B]

So you moved her out here?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Let's go.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She didn't move you to Canada?

[A]

No, no, I wasn't about to go to.

[B]

That's a hard sell.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Not. Not her part of Canada. And that's just like in a. Out there.

[B]

Toronto or.

[A]

Nah, nah. Toronto would have been great. I love Toronto. I love Vancouver. She's in Saskatchewan. Regina, Saskatchewan. That's where she's from. So ain't out there. Yeah.

[B]

I haven't even heard of that, to be honest.

[A]

Regina, dog. Keep your vagina clean. That's what they say.

[B]

What are people like out there?

[A]

Nice. Nice.

[B]

It's like.

[A]

It's like. It's like middle America, but just up.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You know what I'm saying? So if you could imagine, it's right above Montana, so.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, Montana. I've heard of Montana.

[A]

So people are sweet. It's not like, super. It's any to do, you know. It's some good restaurants.

[B]

That's my thing when I'm traveling somewhere. Let's do some like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm not trying to sit around now.

[A]

We would just, you know, I'd fly out there, we just hang out. That was it.

[B]

But which.

[A]

That's all we wanted to do anyways, you know.

[B]

Yeah. You only see each other once a month.

[A]

You're gonna get busy, just get some dinner, kiss, and come read the Bible.

[B]

Good old Bible, huh? You got that side.

[A]

You too, like, religious side. I mean, I went to Christian school from, like, preschool to eighth grade.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So I feel like, you know, me and God have a relationship. We'd be chilling, we'd be chatting. We talk. I don't go to, like, church anymore, but, you know, I Think. I think Christian school helped me build a good foundation. Me and God are cool. I definitely acknowledge God in the universe as, like, a real thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I, I, you know, and I also, like. No, I. I give credit to God. I. I talk to God at night. I thank him for blessings, and I appreciate that he has a sense of humor because, you know, I make a lot of, like, pee pee and. And coochie jokes. Yeah, man.

[B]

Respect. Respect. I think it's important to have some sort of belief these days.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The world is a crazy place. I think so. Oh, yeah. It's crazy what's going on right now. Were you pretty rebellious growing up?

[A]

Nah, not really. Nah, just playing. I just. Class clown. That's not.

[B]

As you were.

[A]

Yeah. You know, I mean, I get in trouble for talking too much. That's about it. You know, like, if. If it was ever a parent teacher meeting, it was always. Look, Tim's great. He just. He just gets a little disruptive because I'm all, you know, I was always trying to make people laugh and all this. I was just, like, talking all the time. And, you know, it's probably the adxd. Probably. You know, I'm saying, if you believe in that, I have it too.

[B]

Allegedly. I don't know.

[A]

Let's take a few sticks. Yeah. I mean, I got, you know, I talk. I had, like, a zoom meeting with a professional, and just like you diagnosed you over zoom? Yeah, yeah. Yes. Yeah. It was a thing you could set up over zoom with a ADHD professional. And. And I was. And here's the thing, right? I know I have trouble, like, focusing and shit, but I didn't want it to because I'm sure, like, if you're ADHD ZOOM doctor, and you have people who think they have adhd, then maybe you got a lot of motherfuckers putting on for the camera, right? So I was like, let me not do that. So I put the computer mouse right on her nose and I stared at that shit the whole time to make sure I wasn't giving. This is fake adhd. Right. But just as we're talking, just. I don't know, I guess she saw me, like, squirming around or doing something, and she was like, hey, let me. Let me tell you, my friend, you're in the right place. She's like, I'm already seeing. Seeing things, and I can. I can for sure verify what you got going on.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, I feel like everyone has it these days.

[A]

You know what? But also, everybody just thinks they got it too, you know, there's that. I'm diagnosed, baby. What the.

[B]

You're zoom. Diagnosed?

[A]

Yeah, right.

[B]

I got an actual brain scan. I got injected with something and they scanned my brain. I had to take like a test on a computer to check what? Adhd.

[A]

Oh, so. And what they tell you?

[B]

I have it.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Yeah, but like, there's all these labels, you know?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Like, who the fuck knows?

[A]

Who the fuck actually knows. Look, I know that. Hey, here's the thing. I forget to flush my poop sometimes.

[B]

Dude, I do that too. My girl gets pissed.

[A]

My wife gets so fucking pissed, she.

[B]

Thinks I'm doing it on purpose.

[A]

I know. And I had to tell her. I actually had to, like, pop off a little bit because she kept. She was like. She was so pissed. And I'm like, baby, do you think I want you to see my shit that's been in the toilet, like, simmering for an hour or two? Like, this is embarrassing for me. You know what I'm saying? And then she's like, you just want to use the ADHD as an excuse for not flushing your shits. I'm like, this is. I don't want to leave my shit in the toilet. You know, I'm saying it's not like I'm proud of it. And so I looked it up and it's an actual thing. Well, of course, you know, you get distracted. You wipe your ass and people are like, how do you. How do you leave in the toilet? Like, how do you forget that? But here's the thing, bro. Like, for me specifically, look, I wipe my ass till I can't anymore. Till I see piece of blood, a little bit of blood on the. On the paper, right? I get up to get the wet wipes, then I close the lid because in my head I'm like, got to close the lid so you don't get the poo germs everywhere, right? Wet wipe. Throw that shit in the trash. I'm like, okay, cool. I just wet wiped. I should wash my hands now I'm washing my hands. I'm like, oh, shit. I got a text message. Check my phone. I'm out the door.

[B]

She sends you a photo of it.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Literally. Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

That used to happen to me. We used to fight all the time. It got to the point where we were having sit downs over it.

[A]

Word on the toilet. She would sit with you and make sure you flush.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. We had to get a toilet right next to it. So talk about it. But now we. We got the auto Flush toilet. Now to solve it.

[A]

Smart. I. I debated, like, putting, like, a little sign or a little even, like, as subtle as, like, a little sticker just in front of that to remind myself to, like, flush, you know, auto flush.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, it's a little extra, but you won't fight anymore. All right, because that was our biggest fight for months. Yeah, you know, I'm sure it was a big fight for you.

[A]

No, I get it. I got to the point where she was making me pay her 100 every time I forgot to flush a. And I think one month I had to give her like 600.

[B]

Literally. Holy.

[A]

Yeah, man.

[B]

Yeah, she's punishing me with financial means at the moment for stuff, too.

[A]

Oh, worse.

[B]

Yeah, it works on me. Yeah, I don't like losing money.

[A]

I feel it.

[B]

If I forget to make the bed, there's a hundred bucks. Damn, you know, I don't flush. There's a hundred bucks.

[A]

Just tell her, sorry, toots, I got the adhd. All right? Deal with it.

[B]

Yeah, send me that study because I'm gonna send it to her, actually.

[A]

Yeah, man.

[B]

You'll, like, honestly, like, a weight's been lifted off my shoulder because I didn't know if that was ADHD or autism or what it was.

[A]

You know, it'll pop up as the adhd, man. It's like, you know, you get distracted, your brain's a million places at once, and then sometimes you forget to flush your.

[B]

Yeah, I can't even watch a movie now. Really? I have to go on my phone. Like, I just can't sit straight through a two hour movie anymore, so.

[A]

I love movies so much. I. It's the only time I'll actually put my phone on silent and, like, tuck it in between the couch cushions. Yeah.

[B]

You don't have the urge to check it?

[A]

I'll only check it if I, like, I need to pee or if I'm up to grab snacks and I'll take five minutes to check my. But then other than that, I'm on, like, do not disturb.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Damn.

[B]

Well done, dude.

[A]

Thanks, man. I just, like, I just really love movies and I like, I'm. That, you know, I hate to be, like, pretentious with it, but I. I'm like, low key. I'm like, oh, man, look at the cinematography. Oh, man. What? Oh, damn. Did you hear what you say? Damn. What does that symbolize? Like, I'd be in. I'll be in my. My head with that. You know that because for you, you're.

[B]

Looking at it from a student point of View too, right?

[A]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Different. Like, this is. And I'm trying to write one too, so it's like, different now. It's like, like I'm looking at how they. How they set up the story and when certain things happen. So I'm like, I'm. I'm locked in, you know, comedy scene.

[B]

You want to write a comedy movie?

[A]

Yeah, I'm writing a stupid comedy right now. I have, like, weirdest I want to do, but I feel like my first one should be an on brand stupid comedy.

[B]

Yeah, that's probably the safe play, right? Yeah, you could get fancy with it, but comedy, I feel like you could kind of keep the budget on the lower end, too.

[A]

Exactly, exactly. Especially if I end up trying to just do it myself, you know? Like, if I. Let's say I don't get a studio behind it and I just got to, like, like, really, like, thug it out and. And just find investors and do it out of my pocket, then I'm. I'm writing cheaper, you know?

[B]

Yeah. These things cost some. Some serious dough, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

You got to pay the actors, the screenwriters.

[A]

Yeah, it gets up there. Editors and cinematographers and sound beautiful. It's crazy.

[B]

I just paid my wedding photographer. I couldn't believe how much that was.

[A]

Weddings are. You already have a venue and all that?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, you. Next month.

[B]

You said next month, bro. Sit. But the. The photographer was 10k, I think.

[A]

I'm trying to think of how much, like the. The video, too. Yeah, I'm thinking. I think I might have paid a lot too, but it was sick. It came out dope.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's worth it, I guess.

[B]

It's worth.

[A]

It's worth it in the. Are you in, like, flowers? Because flowers are expensive as flowers.

[B]

For $30,000, they're gonna be dead in two days.

[A]

I know. It's crazy.

[B]

That's the part that eats at me.

[A]

I know. What are you getting, like, mad white roses petals everywhere or what?

[B]

She did all night. Everything, bro. Bro.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Like, for me as a guy, it's like.

[A]

I know, I know. And here's the thing, right? I mean, I'm sure you already know you're a month away, but, like, you end up paying, like, double what you thought.

[B]

Yeah, I thought it'd be 100 for everything. For, like, the flowers, the food and everything. It's closer to 200, my eye.

[A]

You're going crazy.

[B]

Yeah, it's. It's not fun, but it's a once in a lifetime thing. I hope. I only get married Once. So, like, justifying it, I'll tell you this.

[A]

Okay, so look, mine was like, half of yours because I thought I was gonna be paying, like, 40. End up paying, like, like closer to 90, right? And I've never even actually, like, said that, but since u was crazier, I'm like, whoa.

[B]

Because of inflation, we were probably paying about the same.

[A]

Oh, yeah, man. And what are you doing? How many people?

[B]

175.

[A]

175? Yeah. Mine was like 200. And then you get to the open bar, because then it's like, yeah, yeah. And. But I'll tell you this. I had so much fun. I. I would do it again 100%. It was. It was so fun. Oh, God. Nice.

[B]

I feel better.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

I've been, like, stressing.

[A]

Look, I have no regrets about, like, the wedding and even how much I paid. It was. It was lit. It was just so great, you know, you got.

[B]

You go hard on the honeymoon too.

[A]

Yeah, we went, but we didn't go. We ended up. We didn't go on the honeymoon till like, a good year later.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Yeah, because. Well, for one. Oh, that's what it was since she's Canadian and we were trying to figure out, like, just all the. To do it correctly so there would be no problems once we were married as like, a new, like, just immigrant to the country getting married, you're technically not allowed to leave the country for like, a year. So we couldn't even do. We could have did, like, Hawaii or something like that, but she really wanted to go to the Maldives, so we waited a year, made sure we're going. Oh, lit.

[B]

I'm pumped.

[A]

You're doing it, right?

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

So fun.

[B]

Bungalow on the water, right? Yeah, dog.

[A]

And people. I mean, you said you like to do, though.

[B]

Yeah, but.

[A]

But I'm sure they got, like, kayaking.

[B]

And something like that. I'm probably more chill, you know, because.

[A]

People told us, like, oh, Maldives. All you do is just like, just look at the wall. You're gonna get bored. But, like, that's all we wanted to do. You know, we have this, like, dope bungalow. We literally just, you know, wanted to enjoy the view and eat at the restaurants and, you know, they got kayaking. Like, they got different.

[B]

No, I'll be fine. Something like that is. I'm gonna be just chilling. Yeah. You know, I'm not trying to be too active right after the wedding. Yeah, we'll be chilling. We'll be chilling.

[A]

But fine.

[B]

Thanks for sharing. That makes me feel better. Better.

[A]
