Speaker 1 (0:00) For many of us, going further isn't a choice. It's a feeling we can't ignore. Because ambition has a way of outgrowing where it began. Turning dreams into direction. Every journey brings us closer to the life we imagine. So, where will your journey take you? Etihad. Beyond Borders. Speaker 2 (0:30) What happens when two people who grew up in a very strange corner of Los Angeles look back and realize just how bizarre their upbringings really were? Speaker 3 (0:39) They start a podcast, of course. I'm Speaker 2 (0:41) Ashley Johnson. Speaker 3 (0:42) And I'm Taliesin Jaffe. Before we became the internet people we are today, we spent our childhoods as working actors, appearing in shows like Growing Pains and films like Mr. Mom. In Speaker 2 (0:52) our podcast Weird Kids, we're diving deep into our unique upbringings, our friendship with each other, and all the delightfully odd interests we still carry with us today. In Speaker 3 (1:02) each episode, we get to share stories of our youth, the things that bring us joy, the problems that we face, and occasionally, the friends we've collected along the way. If Speaker 2 (1:11) you're a misfit, an outcast, or just a weirdo who loves all things nostalgic and unconventional, come take a seat at our table. Speaker 3 (1:17) Each week, we'll be releasing previously members-only episodes on YouTube and all major podcast platforms. with new episodes dropping exclusively and ad-free on Beacon.tv. Speaker 5 (1:29) We got a show in Minneapolis next month. Pull up. And in San Francisco in November. Bang, bang, bang. We love you. Speaker 5 (1:56) Yes, sir. What's up, y'all? Welcome back to Dudes Behind the Fools. Once again, David So has some playing Speaker 6 (2:02) problems. Speaker 5 (2:03) So I called in some backups. Y'all have been asking me to do another mukbang with this man for so long, ever since we did the first one a few months ago. Y'all really loved it. Y'all loved us together. Wow. And how about that? He's my Thai brother. I didn't even know I found that out last time. So I did. Make some noise for my guy. Hungry for munchies. Let's go. Speaker 4 (2:25) What's up, dog? Speaker 6 (2:26) Hey, Speaker 5 (2:27) man. Speaker 1 (2:27) Welcome back. Speaker 4 (2:28) Good to be here. Happy to be here. What Speaker 5 (2:30) a nice vibe. So I did. Yes, sir. I actually Speaker 4 (2:34) got a Thai lesson on Sunday. From who? A Thai temple. Where? Speaker 5 (2:39) You went for what? Just to get some food or to actually be like... To go be in class. I Speaker 4 (2:43) went to go take my son because he's three and they were like, yeah, he's too young. And I was like, can I take it? Okay, where? Speaker 5 (2:49) Yeah, fuck Speaker 4 (2:49) it. Oh, Speaker 5 (2:50) and Speaker 4 (2:50) you learned some like Thai? This Sunday. Two hours. What? Every Sunday at the Thai temple. I don't know if y'all can pull it, but... Speaker 5 (2:57) And you learned like writing too or just like... What? You don't have Speaker 4 (2:59) to throw me in that bitch and just treat me like the foreign kid. My mom would be so hyped if I did that, bro. Oh, I thought you spoke Thai. Speaker 5 (3:07) You know, I do. I speak enough to, like, talk to my mom. Speaker 4 (3:11) Yeah, Speaker 5 (3:11) yeah, yeah. But I can't read or Speaker 4 (3:12) write. Yeah, that's what I want. Wow. I want to wow people where they're like, is he Thai? And I'm like. Speaker 5 (3:18) What made you want to do that? Speaker 4 (3:20) Probably just being Thai and not knowing enough. And I'm big on culture. So. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keeping culture alive. It's so easy where we are to just be like, Speaker 5 (3:27) matcha. You know what I mean? Even though that's not where we are, but you know what I mean? Yeah. Matcha and Speaker 4 (3:32) Porsche. Like, I want to, like. I want to keep culture high, like, all the time. Speaker 5 (3:36) You know what's crazy is, like, having, like, you know, mixed babies, right? For sure. And, you know, part of it is, like, okay, at the very least, first I want her to learn how to speak English properly. But then also it's, like, I don't want her. I mean, she's going to learn. She'll learn how to speak English, right? She knows how to speak Speaker 4 (3:52) English. That's the easy part. Speaker 5 (3:53) Yeah. So then it's, like, okay, how do I really water the culture, right, the different parts that make up. her and my boy you know what i'm saying it's because it's like she's eritrean salvadorian and thai but right now she will she just she's eating just chicken nuggets and playing roblox she's not even there yet yeah Speaker 4 (4:14) i know what you mean though yeah yeah for language i saw something that said if your your mom speaks thai mostly thai or also english mostly thai yeah they said the coldest thing you can do the quickest way for your kids learn just leave them with the parent that doesn't speak it. Yeah. Because then they have to learn, like, if she wants to talk to grandma, she has to speak Thai. I Speaker 5 (4:33) mean, I tell people all the time, if my mom spoke fluent English, I would have never learned how to speak Thai. That makes sense. You know what I'm saying? I had to speak Thai to just Speaker 4 (4:40) communicate with my mom. See, my mom loved English. Speaker 5 (4:43) Sellout. Wow. Sellout Thai woman. Wow. She loved it, Speaker 4 (4:47) man. She drank Big Red. She don't smoke cigarettes. Sold Chevrolet cars and be like, how are Speaker 5 (4:52) you doing? Oh, shit. Speaker 4 (4:53) Like that? Love. And we're from Texas. With like a Speaker 5 (4:56) Texan accent? Speaker 4 (4:58) I think she still sound pretty Asian and look pretty Asian, but she just, she proud of it. You know what's crazy? Do people clock that you're from Texas when you're out here? No. Everybody think I'm from the Bay. Filipino, Samoan. Valid. Japanese and white from the Bay. That's like what I get every single time. Speaker 5 (5:13) Makes sense. Speaker 4 (5:14) Yeah. Yeah. Like, cause I was just, um, Speaker 5 (5:16) I was at, I was filming the other day with some people. Somebody asked me something and I was like, where? And then she was like, oh my God, your LA accent is so strong. Speaker 4 (5:24) Because Speaker 5 (5:24) I said, where? Speaker 4 (5:25) I hear you. I hear you. I don't think LA does have an accent, but it's so casual. Yes. It's like, it's not so much an accent. It's like a cadence. And you do speak, that's why I'm saying like, let's go get a matcha. It's just very like, what is the problem? What Speaker 5 (5:39) is the problems Speaker 4 (5:39) in the world? You know what I mean? That's the like the LA like tone. I Speaker 5 (5:42) do. You know, and when you bring up an LA accent, it's like two things come to mind. It's either right, like Valley Girl shit. And like, you know, like very like questioning like, okay, I went to the store like that. Or it's like the. Park decor outside on a day at homies. You know what I'm saying? Oh, that's fire. Speaker 4 (5:58) That's fire. That's fire. Speaker 5 (6:00) Ayo, on a day at homies, right? Yeah. And it's like very two different accents. But. I love it. Dudes Behind the Foods, I brought you some wings because Wingstop has a brand new flavor. Now, you say you don't fuck with Wingstop like that, or you do? No, I do. What? Wingstop. Don't. Tim must want all the Speaker 4 (6:14) deals or something because I promise I love Wingstop. Speaker 5 (6:17) Well, they got a brand new flavor. It's called Lemon Pepper Chili. crunch and lemon pepper chili glaze. I saw it on my feed this morning. I said, I need to try this out. Speaker 4 (6:27) Yeah, for sure. Speaker 5 (6:30) First of all, I got some seasoned fries. I don't know if you fuck with Wingstop fries, but they put a little bit of like, it almost tastes like they got sugar Speaker 4 (6:37) on their fries. They dipped them bitches in sugar. Guaranteed. Guaranteed. You pray? I'm going to do a quick prayer. Please. You didn't pray last time. I did. I had to. Maybe you cut it out. Speaker 5 (6:48) No, you did, but you didn't do what I was expecting you to do. Let's do a quick prayer. Shout out to the Wingstop. Oh, you want to do that one? Speaker 4 (6:53) Okay. You ready? Okay. Speaker 5 (6:55) And then give me one of those, and then we'll do a real one. Yeah, yeah. No, that's a real one, too. Okay. You Speaker 4 (7:00) ready? Yeah. Okay. Let's do a quick prayer first. Let's Amazon. Let it a wings. Let it a stop. Let it where we at. Let it a, bro, just LA in general, for real. And Tim, because you a legend. Let it a Varnelli little show. Let's go watch that. Amen. Something simple. Okay. You funny, because I forgot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because Speaker 5 (7:18) I was like, all right, bro, let's do a little prayer, and then you didn't give me the Instagram shit. Speaker 4 (7:22) I gave you the real one? You gave me the real one. Did we hold hands, too? Speaker 5 (7:26) Yeah, Speaker 4 (7:28) I think sometimes whenever I meet people like we really eat, it throws them off because I'm like, I'm like God and family first. Yeah. And then the content and everything else, you know. I got you. I got you. So sometimes I do the real prayer and I guess they probably never spoke on it like you did, but they probably were like, what the fuck? That's funny. Speaker 5 (7:45) Wait, I ordered one for my wife and order one for us. Oh, OK. Speaker 3 (7:48) Hold on a second. Let's see. You Speaker 5 (7:50) want me Speaker 3 (7:50) to Speaker 5 (7:50) open it? No, wait. If that one's for my wife, don't open it yet. But I'm also, this bag is really greasy. I don't want to put it on the ground. Why is it so greasy? I don't know. Flavor, bro. Flavor. It's Speaker 4 (7:59) also. It's just, I don't expect grease from Wingstock. Wingstock. I like it and I don't like it. Authenticity. All right. Okay. Open the Speaker 5 (8:07) big one. Okay. You more of a ranch or a blue cheese guy? Both. I got both. Blue cheese over all the. I got both. Blue cheese over all the. Oh, like that? Okay. Well, then I'm glad I got both. Speaker 4 (8:17) I'm going to get these bad boys. Can we get a zoom in? Bang. Oh, Speaker 5 (8:21) y Speaker 4 (8:21) 'all can't see it, but we got a whole team in here, y'all. We got six people behind the camera. Y'all work the Zoom. Trevor, quit slacking, Trevor. Trevor, Speaker 5 (8:30) what the fuck? Speaker 4 (8:30) He always on to something. Okay, Speaker 5 (8:31) so you said that... Even Speaker 4 (8:33) the blue cheese greasy. The Speaker 5 (8:34) blue cheese is dripping. I think that's what caused the grease, actually. Well, okay, so you are from Texas. Yes, sir. And your chick is from Atlanta. Speaker 4 (8:43) Oh, I thought you said chicken. No, no. Your girl's from Atlanta. She's from Atlanta. I thought you said my chicken too. Now, Speaker 5 (8:50) look, I love some lemon pepper wet when I'm in Atlanta. They put me on the hot lemon pepper wet. Yes, yes. I'm a big fan. I've been trying to find it out here in LA. You know what I'm saying? You said you got a couple spots that do it. I wasn't even aware. Speaker 4 (9:03) One, American Deli is out here now. And everybody who know American Deli, that's a top tier standard in Atlanta. It's not that it's the best. But it's like burger cans, consistent. You can find it multiple places, et cetera. The L.A. one, the first one I went to was decent. I think it was like Hawthorne. Second one was like, okay. Third one had roaches. So be careful. Scan the perimeter. Marathon Burger randomly got fire wings. I just reviewed them. And you got to do lemon pepper hot, wet, all flats, 10-piece, fries. American Deli, you mix all three drinks. They're going to have three drinks. Mix all of them. That's the standard. That's the ATL code. Speaker 5 (9:39) Fun. And wow, what an update since the last time I ate with you. You're back with your lady, fool? Man. Speaker 4 (9:49) I made a joke. I don't know if it's funny. You tell me if it's funny. Someone asked me at an event I went to recently, which I was probably going to see. It was a very Asian event. I was probably either out or just tired. Yeah. But they're like, how are you and your girl doing? Or are you and your girl back there or something? Because, you know, everybody track everything kind of. Speaker 6 (10:09) And Speaker 4 (10:09) I forgot what I said was the joke I made. I said something like. Speaker 4 (10:14) She break up with me every other week. This is the other week. Okay. So that's why I like it. I'm just. I'm just flowing through the relationship ocean, bro. Speaker 5 (10:24) Sometimes that's all you can do. Yeah. But that was the talk of the... Oh, man. You made the full announcement Speaker 4 (10:30) on my shit last time. And we were just talking genuinely. Yeah. I wasn't like, oh, no, get on to him, shit. I'm about to break the news. I was just like... It Speaker 6 (10:38) came Speaker 4 (10:38) up. I was like, because I'm very honest, so I'm not going to be like, I Speaker 5 (10:41) don't want Speaker 4 (10:41) to talk about this to him. Right, right, right. It is what it is, so... Yeah. And then the next day, I think I dyed my hair red. Okay. Just to do it. Yeah. I already told Kenny I was going to do it like months ago and everyone's like, he's freaking out. He's having a midlife crisis. Someone sent me a post that literally said people who dye their hair red are mentally unstable. Squid games, bro. You said what? Squid games. Remember? Speaker 5 (11:04) He won squid Speaker 4 (11:04) games and he knew what to do himself and he dyed his hair red. I just like the color. I just like red hair. I think everybody look fire with red hair. It give anime. Speaker 5 (11:12) I feel it. You a big anime fan? Love Speaker 4 (11:15) anime. Speaker 5 (11:16) I don't really watch. And I've always felt like a bad Asian for that. But, you know, outside of like Pokemon and a little bit of Dragon Ball, never really watched anime. Those are my Speaker 4 (11:27) go-tos. I think once you watch a really good one, Speaker 5 (11:30) you Speaker 4 (11:31) start to kind of brave it. Speaker 5 (11:34) What's your favorite? Speaker 4 (11:35) Man, my favorite all time? Yeah. Probably. Not including Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z because those are just like... Speaker 5 (11:42) Those are like... Those sit Speaker 4 (11:43) at like Ye and Drake level. Where? Where? Where? And Speaker 3 (11:46) that's everything Speaker 4 (11:46) else. You know what I mean? Probably Yu Yu Hakusho. Speaker 5 (11:49) Okay. Speaker 4 (11:50) You never watch it? No. It's fire. Okay. It's just... All my Yu Yu Hakusho people know.
