Something happened.

That was not fair questions.

Hey, what's going on?

Everybody First Wi Fi's Dom Shaun Evans and you're Watching Hot ones.

It's the show with hard questions and even 100 wings.

And today I'm joined by Rich Brian.

His debut album, Amen, is out now.

And for those of you in San Francisco, L.

A.

Or New York, you can catch him this month on 88 Risings double happiness to our Brian.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you, Sean.

Not our first spicy meal together.

But I have to ask, how are you with hot food I've been so curious about, like how hot these wings actually are Because I'm pretty good without food, you know, like I just love to eat, just like chili flakes and rice.

Well, it sounds like you have a good foundation.

We have the chocolate milk on deck, the wings air sauced and ready to go.

You want to get it started.

Let's do it.

All right.

Good.

So to start with the rich Brian blueprint because against all odds, you're able to build this massive audience as a teenager, home schooled in Indonesia and I wonder at that time in your life how many hours a day where you spend on the Internet like 24 hours that I was just like I I had another No studio already was just going to you to look at oil videos of people.

Logging logs were like my shit back then did I was watching.

Like, uh, there's this dude.

I was watching the random people ever because you called Eric Serve six.

This American dude that's living in Japan eating food, just everybody that talks to the camera and like, speaks English because that was like what I was into.

It's so interesting because you end up learning and experiencing American culture through a YouTube and through means, which is such an interesting curriculum.

It's such a bizarre curriculum.

Can you give me one pro of that one con with means and everything I got to learn, like the American sense of humor, because it's so different from the Indonesians of the humor.

It took me like a while to, like really learn it, but the cons of it there's so many weird shit on the Internet that is not really normal in real life very problematic.

And I learned that way, way back then.

I'm like, Okay, like, Okay, so this is, like, the sense of, you know, So some things are just warped through the lenses of the Internet.

So that's a condiment.

Okay.

I like it a lot.

It's not that much spicier than the previous one we inched up over here.

You know, it's not that steep ramp.

That's what I thought it was.

I was paired, Actually, no, I wasn't.

This is what I'm talking about.

Food in my mouth.

But it happened on the show.

I'm, like, doing like, all the suppressed stuff.

And this is the only thing that I'm not nervous for.

Like my manager asked me today in the car.

Like, Are you ready for high ones before even finished?

Yes.

I just like I've always wanted to be on the show.

This is an amazing thing.

We've always wanted to have you.

So last we spoke have been ages since you're home in Jakarta.

And that obviously changed recently.

In December, you're able to do a hometown show that the first time you never performed in front of your parents?

Yeah.

What was that like It was amazing.

It was a little too loud for them.

So they were watching from the balcony up above.

I did, like, low shot up my parents.

And then, like all the quick, that kind of, like hit a little bit.

But it was super fun, man.

It was like the first time that they saw me in my element.

Did you get a chance to introduce them to Joji?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did my parents loved you?

Sister loved No, Do they all went to my house and my neighbors are like taking pictures of Jodi on and yeah, I didn't know how they even knew about Georgie, but like, yeah, he's got that worldwide appeal.

I'm so hungry, though.

Lm are currently about to your twitters full of gems from the brain of Rich Brian.

But some of them leave more questions than answers.

Are you still up on your New Year's resolution to eat more cheese platters?

I had juice platter on the plane on the way here from my land.

The lady was like, Do you want this really big chicken wrap?

Which was probably better for me or a cheese plate?

No, Like he's played you say Rick and Morty in porn are the biggest influences to your music.

I understand that it's difficult to get porn in Indonesia.

What's the work around?

Um, work around is my parents are probably gonna be watching this, so I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't What is part?

Um, I would say Use VPN, um www dot k proxy dot com.

Um, it'll show up.

You can type in whatever you want, and it'll, you know, give you the access.

What is it about the Geico lizard that turns you on?

Um, there's a some about lizards, man.

I was super into dinosaurs.

I dreamed dinosaurs a lot when I was a kid.

And so, you know, at one point where my parents said that he was satanic and maybe throw away all my drawings Geico, I feel like combined the coolness of the lizard and then mixed it with, hasn't it?

Yeah, they have an accent.

And, like, I feel like the accent is what made it hot.

Why can all life's problems be solved by listening to a life is a highway because life is a highway, and I just wantto on right like all the thief.

I like that.

I go.

You make that yourself being Chris in a bathtub.

Yeah.

So we recently met up in you schooled me, an Indonesian cuisine at Bali kitchen in New York.

But I have it on good authority from one of our mutual friends.

I'm talking about the double cheeked up one himself.

Bill Ratchet.

You can get it done in the kitchen as well, right?

What's your signature dish?

And can you describe how to make it as much detail as, Yes.

My mom's gonna be so mad at me because this is her recipe and I'm giving up to the world.

But it is called Tina Danza.

Try saying it, Lorenza.

Yep.

You got it.

So the original dishes pork, but I didn't really want it to be too happy.

So use chicken.

This seasoning is for Mac.

This ginger.

There's definitely a lot of pepper like habanero, you know, like there's like, some other stuff, but you just lend it all up, and then you marinate the meat with I just like, put it all little big bullet, makes it around, and then I put in the fridge.

And then while it's in the fridge.

I make the rice feel like that's, like a good marinate time.

Just put in the pan and then just cook the shit out of it, man.

Give it to your friends.

Bill Ratchet.

He tried that, and he loved it.

Cooking for people is like such a pure thing to do is like saying I love you without saying it.

Jack, you have breakfast before this.

So thanks for asking all the real light.

You know, maybe a banana in the morning.

Maybe I'll have, like, 1/4 of a bagel with some jelly.

I don't want to be on a completely empty stomach, Right.

But, you know, you have, like, a full meal, and then you eat these wings, and then they have all this hot sauce on him, and then you just end up full, like, full of hot sauce and, like milk and water, you'd have to, like, roll me out of here.

I've made that mistake before, but it's, like, painful.

Was it like, was it the first couple episodes?

You know, it was the Thomas Middleditch episode which was way too deep into the game, right?

I make that kind of mistake, but by the end of it, I'm like, Well, I'm gonna just puke on my own show.

All right, Brian.

Story of recurring segment on our show called Explain That Grammar Into a Deep Dive on our guest Instagram Interesting pictures that need more contacts In doing so, I'll show you the picture and you told me the bigger story.

Does that sound good?

Good.

Laptop, please.

All right, up.

First we got so that was me and go There's like a lot of stray goats in my neighborhood.

It's pretty sad, actually, because I mean, the whole 80 arising team.

We all went to Indonesia and then, like they went to the neighborhood and all the goats were not there because it was the annual holiday where people would sacrifice the guts.

So all the ghosts are dead at the time.

But in this picture, that good was still alive.

Hang out with Jaden Smith did the best day of my life.

I woke up this morning, I tweeted out New York was good, like I never tweet anything like that because that's like, I never, like, really finally good reason to do it.

But that morning it just felt right is I did it.

And then Jaden Face hides me.

Whoa, what's up?

He's like, Where are you?

And I'm like I'm in New York.

He's like, Yeah, I know where you though I'm like mad.

And he's like, I know like you do and that I'm I was like, I'm in Chelsea's market like cool, Hang out and I'm like, Yeah, we just had the craziest day Everything he was with his friends, they were all like skateboarding, and we, like, went Thio Palace, the palace door.

And then he, like, bought me a skateboard.

And I was like, Oh my God!

And then weigh all just like skated the whole day.

I did not escape.

He, like Tommy, had escape.

It was a blast man.

And then later that night, we watched.

Maybe driver went home in like three AM Superliner one for the history.

But yes, one more for you.

What's going on here?

I was like, just taking a bathroom.

Reason put on like the towel because I didn't want to be exposed as he's walking.

And then there was a date like a huge mirror, and I looked at it and I was like, Damn, I kind of like, look good right now.

So I just pulled out My phone Posed was my favorite pose ever.

And then I just took a picture, and that was a picture.

Red pepper.

Butternut squash.

Do you guys like marinated chicken?

Intellectual theater?

So, Dom Dom, did you make him today?

So Dom, tell me if I'm wrong on this right?

You'll put the sauce on a bull.

You'll put the wings in the bull.

You'll toss the wings in the bowl, and then it'll go on the plate, right?

And so you'll have 20 bulls total right or 10 bullets total, so each sauce has its own pool gets tossed in full coverage.

That's how the hot ones platter is served as a great I never like heard anybody talk about that, but that's the really think you're popping the hood on hot ones for you, right?

Thanks for asking.

So as I understand that you're living in Los Angeles but haven't laid down stakes on a permanent home yet, so you're doing extended stays at Airbnb ease, and there's really an art when it comes to finessing the Airbnb ing.

What are some of your red flags.

What are some of the warning signs when you're going into it?

The lamps have to be, like, not wait because ages.

I hate white lance, man.

I mean, you know, this is like, we got a little white lamp situation going on here, but I don't mind it because it's a studio.

But like this, like a house and you're living in it, You don't want it to feel like a hospital.

I don't like what I could walk in and sort of smell prom pictures and, like, an eighth grade birthday, like, see pictures on the refrigerator.

You know what I mean?

I never like to feel like I'm in a house that's, like, really lived in that house that you actually loved it.

You D'oh!

I love it So much thieves.

The best discovery that you've ever made at a spot you've ever walked into a spot like Oh, shit.

They have one of these.

It was a really beautiful, like that created spot.

But then the first thing that I thought it was like there has to be wed somewhere hidden in here.

And I was just looking for every single day, I felt really stupid.

But then one day I was just trying to make some pasta right.

And then I was in the kitchen and I was looking for the pasta, looking for some ingredients.

And then there's like, I saw this coffee box with, like, a little, um, little like, baggy kind of popping out of it.

Nothing.

What is going on here?

And sure enough, you know, I found some mid.

How do you think I'm doing right now compared to like other people better than Julia E.

I thought that might be it for Joe.
