5:55 guests like to drink yep but I feel like you can get all the same stuff right you could get it all like you know you could get good like a bad mom a Heineken and you don't have to go to ████ Germany for it you could get a Corona and you don't have to go to Mexico for it because I said to the guy I was like I don't drink tell me something that Americans can't get and he might be bullshitting but this is for you guys to chase down your alcohol but this is from a distillery in

6:45 Scotland I don't know so it's like you could get the brand but not this particular one so me and Ryan right how's it going we do a thing every year for Christmas time where we get each other like some kind of of uh whiskey or some kind of scotch and I got him the balvini last year but it it was um not this it was like something else different I think he didn't ████ you at all yeah wow because I don't know alcohol so I can't I don't know how to buy alcohol you know all right balvini balvini you've never had it before let's go it looks like a cool bottle it's straight from the UK it's 43 alcohol damn dude that's strong my favorite was the licorice I think [Music]

7:46 yeah he said he loved it hey let me just get some of those Peach Wings over here yeah yeah you saw wine ones he's more British come on huh yeah I don't know what this is okay here that one has less sugar in it here's a biscuit you could taste it down with it's much yummier wow can I smell that this is such garbage is it alcoholic no no not that it says bourbon no burp they're just bourbon cream biscuits it smells good nice cheers Hey Ron Cheers Cheers guys cheers the champ oh let's just make cheers to the Chow here's to the Champs you're the champion to the champ to the champ that's actually good is it I like it I also

8:36 like whiskey flavor though you guys could have the alcohol me and Ryan will eat the peach rings and I'm gonna chase it with more pizzas and then we ran out of space in the in the in the in the suitcase because I would have brought more but I I uh and I gave Ryan a bunch more thank you did you buy anything for yourself nah I just don't believe in snacks the way that you guys do and I want you guys to have diabetes so dude we're gonna pour this out into a two liter bottle and then we're gonna tell Anthony that we had drank it all nothing for you Anthony I'm sorry he's gonna yeah I got it for him he'll be stoked you guys are like the only drinkers here he'll be soaked on it and yeah okay cool Hello is he a big ████ guy uh no he's a he's a tequila guy like me but but we like it all we like it all really honestly yeah that's my ████ so you know when you

9:27 go over there you don't buy nothing for yourself not snacks but just anything at all no I mean I travel so much now that like it's just this thing where cities start to blend into the same thing and whatever I want I'll just get it there and I don't really take it home is there anything you look forward to get when you're over there what do you mean like like a shepherd's pie or is it or like a restaurant a restaurant to eat restaurants yeah yeah like what do you like Indian food Indian food in the UK it's something else bro yeah it's another thing man I like this place called dishoom I know Indians are gonna like rag on it because it's not the it's because it's more like it's more like um like a fusion upscale like upper version of it like there's like those

10:17 food like the good spots are like you just walk into like those little food halls yeah and then like those little like a Banu type Place those are good yeah yeah but the reason why I specifically like dishoom is because they have this chili chutney sauce they have like certain specific dishes that they have and then the whole um Ambiance it feels like a like an old school Great Gatsby species that's what you want you can travel that way yeah yeah it's like a whole feel into it yeah yeah and then if you get diarrhea if he's a bathroom right there perfect Malaysian food out there is fire dude next time we go I gotta I gotta take it to the spot it's right next to the Houston Station and I think it's called like the Roti King and um their bread is amazing it's like every oh bro it's just like it's so good and

11:07 they punch it and they mash it up do they have any good Malaysian food on Valley or on Maine they tried yeah they got some good stuff solid spots oh I want a lot more out of business I went to one next to the barbershop it was on Valley and close to Fremont you know what I'm talking about I think I know like I said you spot right um I went to go get a haircut and then uh I had like an hour wait so I'll say is there anywhere to eat around here oh there's some like Malaysian or whatever things I walked there and as soon as I walked in I was like oh ████ this place smells like ████ but I was already there like this oh and then I asked them what should I order and he's like oh everyone gets this what'd you order I forgot it was like some noodles and then I got some like like nine day old pork or something I don't know it was not good though

11:57 there was that one chain that tried to open up we're gonna get this restaurant shut down there was a Malaysian there's a Malaysian chain that tried to open here it's pretty good that I forgot this is the place you always sent me you always sent me some some spot but there was that Singaporean thing it said it said Singaporean Cuisine but I didn't I've never been there yeah but it's on totally missed the mark they didn't it's not the same like quality is not the same from Malaysia it just doesn't taste anything close to it but I've been to the location in Malaysia yeah and then so they try to open right here Monterey Park and uh uh Atlantic and they they didn't the one in the plaza yeah it failed yeah yeah that one was pretty solid that was pretty solid for a little bit but then it's gone damn like before pandemic oh you know what you're right because when it first opened it was there are chefs from Malaysia yeah and then they they laughed oh they probably trained other dudes yeah and then they couldn't get it right there was actually

12:48 two spots on Atlantic that was pretty solid won by kalimantan it was like it was like a Malay spot that one closed down now it's the Shinsengumi or whatever and then the one by uh by the movie theater but in the thing is I think um there's just so many different options that we have from the West Coast so like there like dude I had this Turkish breakfast that ████ was fire man what's what's in a Turkish breakfast so they had this one dish it was like it looked like a hot iron skillet with tomato sauce and some eggs that they cracked in oh like this Sean I'm trying to lift your ████ mouth shut up imagine like just the pizza with no

13:39 bread like the tomato sauce and then you get egg and then you just use that so it's a deconstructed Pizza basically and like vegetables roasted tomatoes yeah and then you just dip you just dip into it it's really easy to make too with their Arabic bread it's like pita bread but thinner so this is like that pizza dip I sent you guys yeah it's it's like that it's so ████ good and then um Hannah had like some some hummus like yogurt thing and like you know it was it was pretty funny for people watching right so my my folks in-laws like my fake parents they're going to the UK this month okay like around the 15th where would Hannah recommend they go if they're going to UK for the first time I think it depends on what they like because like if you like the whole castle ████ like I heard that you know

14:30 there's a ton like outside uh around Scotland all that um so I spent most of my time in Wales and Liverpool Wales is a different country yeah did you know that it's a kingdom it's completely different is it like Taiwan is it like how taiwan's a country or yeah no no it's where no it's uh depends when I was a kid someone asked me a country outside California pretty much is a country at this point John Cena told me that it's not a country if you're in Wales you gotta like say sire and ████ no I was in Wales for like you say my Lord like five days or something and then I was in Liverpool for like the rest and then I was in London for a day so I got to catch up with the with a friend of mine in London but like so most of my time previously

15:20 like before I left London to go to all these other places my idea of England was just London which is wrong yeah it's like if someone came to the U.S and they've only been in New York they didn't really go to the US they just been to New York it's very true yeah pretty good though it is pretty good because there's everything here good honestly but London I was like oh yeah London doesn't feel that different from the states and then I went to Wales and then I went to like like they call it North how different does it feel though does it like comparatively New York to what here would be the relative what would be the relative difference I would say Cardiff felt like maybe Seattle but way less popular that's very different right New York to Seattle yeah it's about the same I've been to both places better transportation well the Space Needle over here

16:10 and Liverpool better than public transit yeah dude don't don't look it up that's fine just just trust me just trust me just trust me you wouldn't know you wouldn't know do people from Wales have their own passport like that no it's still a British passport oh because they're still British right but then the difference is in Wales everything it's like Montreal or like Canada where they have English and French over there everything is Welsh and English everywhere everywhere and then they say everything in English and in Welsh can you understand a heavy Welsh accent now I can but it's still ████ hard do you know any Welsh words oh no just like cities I guess people should make something up right now we don't go oh yeah so fast I think there's there's a I might butcher this but kangolflin

17:09 phonetics do they speak Gaelic it is Gaelic it's it's like so there's Scottish Gaelic Welsh Gaelic and then there's uh Irish and Liverpool they say you won't yeah Liverpool was like we were in Liverpool and then I was like um standing next to a group of folks and I was asking Hannah I was like are they speaking Gaelic and she goes no they're just scousers and they're like oh that means no I don't know what that means like like Patty the Baddie they're just Northerners yeah do they hear him talking about the Tories and they say ████ the tourists

18:01 Liverpool looks like Gotham City oh really it's like imagine if it's Hawaii Vibes oh that's Gotham City crime everywhere but the city just looks like this old ass place with like these crazy ass buildings that are just I mean a lot of European cities look like that right other volcanoes imagine if like a bunch of small town villagers came into a like a city like L.A so they still have this like you know when you go into a village everyone talks to each other right yeah so they'll give they'll do full-on oh so you have Village Vibes but in an urban exactly so everyone talks to each other

18:52 and that's why that's why I was like this is why Patty the Baddie came from here like you could tell like it's all these blue collared like working class white folks that are like it's like Alphabet City or like Bronx or something huh and it's very Hawaiian the way where like dudes will just throw down and handle their ████ and they'll be on their merry way you know and if people still talk to each other off like strangers talk to each other they're all friendly they're always chatting ████ when you say like how you doing like they're really asking you like you know over here it's like oh you're doing oh good okay and you're just like yeah they don't even start with how you're doing bro like I was in the elevator and um hemorrhoids they don't even start and start you do it we're we're in a where they start mid conversations as if they already knew each other it was the most bizarre ████ ever so like I'm in the elevator with Hannah and then the front desk lady was inside they talk about the weather all

19:43 this another lady joins and then a transgender lady comes in and they all talk like they've been best friends since like high school anymore [Laughter] [Applause] [Laughter] you know how everyone says like oh oh we come from a friendly City yeah and I was like oh wait no no one really I've been to a lot of places in the world and there are friendly people yeah but Texas Liver Liverpool's even one up friendlier than anything I've ever witnessed interesting more than Maine dude it's crazy because it's an extrovert friendly because there are friendly places but it's like a very extroverted friendly

20:33 level because like so so me and my family right we were looking at this big heart sign and we're just looking at it or like you want to take a picture oh no and then this couple comes up to us right and then they're like you guys should take a picture you know what you want to do it we'll take the picture for you and I was like damn this is weird but it's weird I don't know they're like where are you guys from you know and then like and then I just give them the camera we're taking photos and I was like when is the sale coming what are they trying to pitch you wanna saw my mixtape it was like it was like what are they gonna ask for what are they gonna try to sell that's how I kept feeling right but they're good no we're just having a conversation and I'm all like oh they want a picture and then and then I was

21:23 like you guys want a picture and they're like oh yeah sure like they didn't even think about it right and then I find I thought they were a couple but it was like a gay best friend and his homegirl they were out for a night of drinks and then so I'm like understanding their Dynamic their friendship all that ████ and then we go off and I was like this is normal and Hannah's like I mean I can assume once you get us around our female besties we become like the most yeah active like vibrant talkative humans unexistent yeah but it I mean but beyond that I've witnessed this just with everybody and Hannah says that's just the way it is she says it was horrible being an introvert in that she's not that yeah but I think that's why she's so sociable as an introvert yeah yeah she could talk to anybody she said there's a there's a time where literally like she got out of a train station

22:13 right she asked this girl for like directions or something the girl walked her to where she was going and ended up ████ being friends with her drinking all night together and ████ that's kind of tough that girl has no life exactly no I don't want to drink with you but they're just hella friendly like that and I'll and everyone just talks to each other like full-on conversations that's so not like where we grew up you know exactly so it's small town but like in a major city with skyscrapers and all that stuff with a lot of people so when someone's doing that to Hannah and she's like an introvert is she kind of like boy no like I seen another I saw another element out there international sign dude no she just goes on in she just does her thing they just go chat chat chat chat chat and I'm just

23:03 sitting there like oh ████ that's crazy she need to go Like an Oxygen Bar after or something that was f██████'s raining that lad chats a lot of ████ and and they dress super loud they're like bright pink and like super um it's almost like they're all like going to a rap concert but they're not into hip-hop I know exactly what you mean right it's like leopard print pink and like it's almost like trash Queens but you know it's not high fashion trash plants he likes the trash I do I like the trashy but it's hard to explain bro it's not even like it's not like high class High
