EP. 174 - Willneff gets trapped! [VIDEO]

Din Tai Fung is from Taiwan. it's authentic as FUCK.

Al

Austin needs protecting at all costs. He is just so unintentionally hilarious!

Hayley Khan

Parking ticket West Hollywood Austin

TheSpaceFerret

AUSTIN PAY YOUR PARKING TICKET! What are you doing dawg? Pay that shit

Jojen

Austin asking Will if he came after getting ass blasted by the bidet for 10 minutes is the funniest unnoticed Austin joke I've ever heard, I am offended nobody in the room acknowledged him

ClimateKy

You are the one viewer he was speaking to xd

Felix

i just stayed at a boujie resort for a work trip and i’ve never had more sympathy for Austin because everyone was talking about how nice it was and i was like “but it’s all a façade and the service actually isn’t as luxury as they sell it to be, it just looks pretty”

Juniper Bee

Austin begins describing that amenities are what makes a 5 star hotel, then spends 20 minutes arguing that the materials of the furniture aren't sufficiently fine enough and then learning halfway in of multiple ameneties he was unaware of. I'm petitioning for a replacement reviewer.

Oscar

DOES anyone know if the austin vlogs you have to be higher tier? or can the regular buy in tier allow access??

Al

DINTAIFUNG ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS UR NOT ALLOWED IN SHANGAHI AGAIN LOLOL

Crystal

Totally not parasocial

Isaac R

Omfg Ive been woked

Austin

the more you know!

Austin

Devin E

People are going to think the hotel reviews are snobbish and that's fine because the concept of a hotel review is snobbish in and of itself. It's reviewing luxury. The snobbishness IS the content. It'll be fun because of that.

GodCilla

I laughed until I hurt my back. It hurts so much.

Ben Archer

I get what austin is saying, but I would never say it.

Isaiah Kaplan

Hey Austin, quartz is a more popular choice because it is higher durability scratch resistant and lower maintenance. Marble is a softer material and has many issues, especially in a bathroom or kitchen application with high traffic. And while typically marble is slightly more expensive than quartz, it really does depend on the specific material. Many quartz slabs are actually more expensive per sf than comparable marbles. Marble is also a bit more dated of a material as well.

Sumhope

the joy you guys are radiating on this trip is worth spending my dimes here

Alida

Hey Fear& crew big/long time fan and really appreciate the content just want to let you know your Patreon bonus videos seem to be free. I only know because I’m poor right now and moved across the country so my membership lapsed but I will take this episode as a gift during my transition period😂 have a good one!

Bielly Roker

"Well, I mean, everything was wood at one point."

pdxDASH

Mauricio Miranda

George Sotomayor

This made me want to go to china so bad. It the Japan trips did as well so I’m going to Japan in the spring lol

BluShampoo_

I would be controversial in saying that the whole podcast can be an Austin ragebait 😅

Cynergy

Let Will love Japan, as someone who has been there a few times, its one of those countries thats hard to forget. Watching this trip through the eyes of Fear& has renewed my interest in going to China though, centuries of history just waiting to be explored.

Cynergy

DTF started in China though, according to the book "Fresh Off The Boat"

mkings2505

This was the lets ragebait austin episode

Priscylla

Also I think the word he was looking for was composite. Wood composite?

Banana

I normally enjoy Austin's rants but the hotel review thing became very annoying. Should have just let it drop after Will came back from the bidet incident. Also nobody cares if you do or don't sound snobby Austin, just say your piece AND MOVE ON for the love of god.

Banana

Idk why it took me so long to realize this, but Austin has the same haircut as Jesse Watters

Eden

Din tai feng is a really good xiaolongbao chain in china too, when i lived in Beijing we often went there n ’twas forsure better than in the Singapore one ive eaten at

André Öhman

Yeah, the best coffee i ever had was just out of an automatic espresso machine at my hotel in Beijing... still think about it. And it was not even a fancy hotel like theirs. I heard them mention Shanghai coffee was sweeter than Beijing (to their relief). Since I like unsweetened coffee i wondered if that's why i liked Beijing's so much lol. wanna get their take

Onsen Dreamscapes

yeah these guys must have just gone to a bad place. I still dream of the xiao long bao I had in shanghai (it was at a hotel restaurant, don't remember where). We also had truffle ones that were sooo good.

Onsen Dreamscapes

I spent my life in Fairmont and Marriot hotels because members my family worked there. Marble is a sign of colonialism, how many mountains in Italy need to be destroyed for our countertops. Also it’s an insane burden on the planet to import these materials across the world and account for frequent cracks which are repurposed into quartz. Real wood vs veneered materials is valid criticism IF it’s being used for chairs and tables, not walls or cabinets.

Alan

“Hasan can you help me?!” “No” 🤣🤣

Carmnsndiego

I 100% agree with Austin on the finishes, the “marble” not being actual marble isn’t a deal breaker, it’s still cool looking but it comes off as cheaper to use a material that looks like another rather than just using that material

Skylynn Mead

Dude traveler's constipation is so real and Caroline is a trooper

Brianna

WE LOVE CAROLINE!!!!!!

Emily

I don't think you could convince Will to like anything more than he likes Japan LMAO

Fletcher

I love that China exceeded Will’s expectations dude has been absolutely vibing

Dylon

Austin is so right about the hotel finishes. They cut corners and jack up the prices and it's good to know what you are getting into, esp when travelling overseas

captain jes

I'm so opposite. I want to bring an empty or half empty luggage and go with mentality of "if I need something, I'll buy it there" because I want to get as much stuff to bring home :)

Torayume

If you need an Austin playlist just ask an old Italian American grandfather what he listened to growing up

Jorge Beta

Caroline is a great 5th member of the screen team honestly

Nabil Masud

The China trip has been really fun! Great streams. And I miss QT! <3

Kapoley McRolly Foley III

If Hasan is white Chinese then he should stop glazing Din Tai Feng. There are soooooo many nice independent Xiao Long Bao place and all of them are better than DTF 😭. You must prefer Olive Garden than actual Italian food if that is the case.

hAo_Mondrian

And they are shutting down in Shanghai

hAo_Mondrian

Go try 珊珊小笼 (Shan Shan Xiao Long) if you want something super local.

hAo_Mondrian

Hell no it's not. Speaking as a Shanghaiese.

hAo_Mondrian

Austin please be the iconic gay and drop a spotify playlist!!! The best part of the China streams is songs that i got to know, thanks to u and Caroline! I WILL be spaming this every week, i'm sorry BUT IT'S FOR THE PEOPLE. Guys are u with me? Tell the Golden gay, please <3

Gabi

They should visit actual cultural sites and natural landmarks next time lol, visiting cities after cities they are not that different.

Wheen L

shanghai xiao long bao is best when they literally extract every essence of a hairy crab in season and put it in a little dumpling but these monsters do not eat seafood

Wheen L

I’m just here to say the best scat for bilibili was the one Austin did on the bus the very first time haha

Daniel

Austin is so funny, he has that kinda humor where most of his jokes are unintentional and just the right amount of insecurity he's giving chaos and im obsessed.

Erica Halsey

I have too much to say about this food themed ep

oxela

Chongqing has been exposed to western tourism for much less time than Shanghai which would explain the language barrier

oxela

As a Nebraska chatter; Panda is good if you know this is greasy American spin off Chinese food

Jessica

Chinese fashion haul video?

JohnCodyClark

Also Austin re the reviews: in today’s world of “paid ad”, “gifted from [brand],” and UGC, I appreciate a honest, critical review of anything!

Hailey Dixon

The Portland talk and then Monday’s travel including Austin meeting another guy from Oregon. Omg. He was on another level

Hailey Dixon

Hi! I’m here to ask about the fear& gift this month! I am dumb and I have no idea what it is 😅😂 is it a tree ornament?

Misty

I think Austin was looking for the word wood veneer

Jamie Hauken

They say this trip is because of us then give us a half assed patron episode where they ask when it's over twice and don't bring any interesting topics at all. As a long time viewer who never complains, put in even half an ass cheek for us

Jack Kaufman

If you are going to Tokyo after, the CDawgVA and Ironmouse café is still open through all of November.

Jamie Hauken

He will only eat the finest duck tongue

Belos

i love Austin, he's such a fucking dickhead LMAO

Jesse

Honestly, din tai fung is ok.

Ninja Iceberg

Mashallah Austin, I didn't know you kept halal with the no pork

Ricky Siddek

Can't wait for the travel vlogs! thanks for vlogging for us Austin <3 also miss you QT!!!!

M

would love if you guys visit other places in japan than tokyo though

26days

Austin asking if he came i can't . 🤣

JayyCoall

I think that stone veneer Austin was mentioning might have been intended to resemble a traditional Chinese ink wash painting style which is kinda cool, maybe more of an art piece than an aha we tricked you into thinking it was marble type thing

Adam

"Why drink one coffee when you can get two" Austin I think this is why you're peeing so much 😭

Tay

❤️❤️❤️❤️ W Ep

Hai

Will: "China is too happy, Japan is sad and I like that more" lmfao

Jonen

Go piss, girl!

Chloë Luczynski

As someone who used to be a tour guide like Irene, it is better to let them know you guys don't need anything else for the night. When I had that job I would kinda be half awake worrying if the customers would come ask me for something. Anyway, it's a tough job, I hope you're tipping them well (I'm sure you are!)

Onsen Dreamscapes

Austin completely nailed what it's like staying at an IHG so-called 4 or 5 star hotel. Staying in one was your first mistake.

Onsen Dreamscapes

Not that it makes sense to compare, but I still prefer Japan as a middle class tourist. If I could travel all first class then maybe I would like China more. Def not cause of being in anime tho!

Onsen Dreamscapes

A hascord mod was saying it was racist to say Kelvin was a body guard..

Onsen Dreamscapes

Anybody that works at hospitals, especially at a hospitals on the west coast, knows that subway is a staple and sometimes you have to eat there because the cafeteria is either too far or closed. It's kind of amazing that SUBWAY (which is incredibly artificial) is a staple at AMERICAN HOSPITALS.

og_bobbiecrystalmami

Please Austin if you're reading these comments ask Hasan to wax poetic about Chinese coffee on stream! I have a desperate need to know how he feels about it. Please and Thank you. Also, I love you.

og_bobbiecrystalmami

I love when we are blessed with Queen Kwan

Mando Chil

Din tai fung is not bad.

Jay Deng

Yes I know . Nebraska is a meme metaphor

Austin

wish Ms. Kwan fully joined the pod

Insert Working Title

god i love austin sm

AM

In real life, being around eating people doesn't bring me disgust or anything, it's entirely when it's done through a microphone. They catch all those gross ass sounds that environmental noise tends to drown out in real life and that's what gets me lmfao.

SATOhara

Caroline permanent 5th Beetle, glory to the Kwan dynasty🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

Jeremiah

If you love sky lines ud die coming from the south of Perth in to Perth city. Particularly during eny wether event... storm, sun set, sun rise, fire and fog. On god

inventivefish

As soon as I heard how little time they had, I knew the travel would feel brutal. They really underestimated how big China is. If they were to go again, take it slower and go to some more peaceful places (like mountains and national parks), it would feel less chaotic. They are visiting all the highlights but I feel like Zhangjiajie or Guilin would blow their minds. Really glad they’re enjoying it though. Especially Will, who wasn’t that excited for it.

Conceptualization

i hate to agree with austin because i know it goes to his head but he is right about subway and i am tired of the slander!

Serena

I mean if you don't have enough lubrication period, then that is an increased risk of anal fissure. But also maybe he was talking about STI spread (like gonorrhea) if saliva is used for anal?

Sai Vemula

Gonna be in Shanghai in a couple weeks and hitting up the same spots yall did like a lemon bro pilgrimage

Willyum

Parasocials unite for empress kwan

Sai Vemula

Austin is so unhinged lmao

A Den

Austin, as a barista, getting two single caps is the same as getting one double latte. Exactly the same ratio. If you like the cappuccino foam, ask for the latte with extra foam.

Katie Martens

I want to hang out with Caroline so bad

Katie Martens

PLEASE WE NEED CHRISTIAN NEXT

Zoe Alonzo

Will and Hasan are just too fucking white, that’s why they love Japan so much 😭

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

will was tow mater in the japanese bathroom in cars 2

Bloated Marshmallow

My hot take that I mentioned during the time they where in Japan. I really hate the eating on the podcast. Idk why. I don't have that food sound thing that everyone apparently has. It just bugs me. But still love the pod regardless I'll just skip the eating parts.

Terris Kelley

Always a great episode when Caroline and Austin are in

David Ritchie

this was such a fun episode

Abigail Hagos

will saying he’s a man of nowhere and everywhere and still choosing to be a jets fan….free him….

Cait

“It kept blasting my ass.” -Will. “Did you cum?” -Austin. ILU.

Peter

Okay next episode I need Christian. He’s so fucking iconic and funny.

Maddy Hutson

“My window broke. And the ac is making a guttural sound. But I like this better than the Ritz.” Hasan…

Peter

ANOTHER RUSSIA HOAX! EVERYONE KNOWS WILL NEFF’S BIDET DIDNT “MALFUNCTION”! HE SAT THERE WILLINGLY! LIES BY THE LEFT

INMATE #P01135809

when will we get an episode with christian, during the streams he had amaying chemistry with everyone

vindo

The finishes aren't marble? Damn, I just hate when my finishes aren't marble.

TD91

I’ll give it to Austin the star system Is pretty loose, intercontinental shouldn’t be 5 star anywhere, is also like 300 dollars a night and the four seasons is 700 or more so you cannot really compare

Sergio Aragonez

The way they said “you go to Panda Express.” Derogatory.

Peter

“A man has only so much saliva.” Caroline as an ally: “you’re probably dehydrated.” 😭👀🤭❤️

Peter

I agree with Will and Austin

Dohregard

Caroline absolutely could not replace QT. Proof: Caroline didn't share her detailed diary of diarrhea

SorakaBananasOP

Din Tai Fung has locations in mainland China though...

Y

I gotta visit one day.

Gat

thank you QT <3

Maria Isabel Lopez

Spit causing an anal fissure? Listen, Austin Show talking out of his ass is more likely to cause an anal fissure.

Worldling

Caroline could easily do QTs job!

Mike Farris

My gosh, I love our messy gay.

Axl_F

"This is misogyny ... not sorry" *crosses legs* "This is homophobia". Austin never change.

Maria Isabel Lopez

Japan has not developed in any significant way and their economy has been stagnant for decades, they still ride off of the development it had in the 80s. They are after all neoliberal and moving more fascist like every other neoliberal democracy with their new prime minister.

Daryl

Chicago transplant but Chicagoans fucking LOVE this city and I love them for it. Chicago is awesome the only things I miss are north east deli culture, bagels, and how normal aggression is.

Rich

glad will is enjoying china and he does have a good singing voice. also hasan moving around the typical podcast angle makes it more interesting.

daisomad23

love when marche is in the episodes!!

saturnvillage

yes, as much as China CLEARS america in many area, Japan is still a better ver of China, or what China could ultimately becomes giving more years down the line maybe

Urdnot Wrex

Really thought we were gonna peel back the will and marche makeout sesh but 12min in still nothing lol

Joey

Will is such a Seattle soul and he doesn’t even know it.

Spencer Harkins

Austin has no clue what someone from Nebraska is like. They are by far and large not woke. Especially Lincoln

David Jabens

the depression that will befall them when then get back to america is gonna be insane

saturnvillage

Elite tier travel content all week. THANK YOU, FEAR&

langiam

austin please i beg of you, dont give a damn about what people think. you do you girl.

Tejas Mahadevan

The problem is that they only been to Tokyo. I wish they would go to other places in Japan

M

That bidet story better breach the pay wall to end up in a Caris compilation. It's up there with the poop on a spoon

Caleb Galey

I thought it was great?

Spencer Harkins

Okay but he said like 4 other versions of that word that are not real

Spencer Harkins

I'm with Will, I enjoyed Japan more, altho' I went to China as a kid with my mum and to Japan as teen with friends, so I'm willing to revisit this take.

Jules

I love it

Spencer Harkins

I love how Hasan zones out with the talk of wonderful views.

Stephen Howard

I miss green onion pancakes 😭😭😭

JohnnyT

I had the opportunity to go to Japan for Spring break when I was doing a semester abroad at Shanghai. I agree with Hasan that Japan did not hit after experiencing China

Raymond Lin

Will, someone from Chicago will find a way to make Chicago their favorite city skyline bar none LMAO it’s like if you were born in Chicago it’s like a rite of passage - sincerely a Chicagoan

Violet Dunn

i want to see how you react to hong kong, i think that is a good middle ground.

Mai

Austin the outfit eaaaaats <3

Sara G.

Caroline chiefin' that Chinese vape

Do You Speak Elite?

"everything was wood at some point" SO FUCKING TRUE KING

SVZN77

Austin is such a lovable menace. I'm so glad he joined the team

Julian

“They want you to think it’s marble, but it’s quartz.” 🤦‍♂️

August Gardener

What would Austin do without “for the record”

Stephen Howard

Absolutely hate when you guys eat and talk. Not good asmr. Just gross.

Dan Hintz

omg Hasan is a Fantano commenter complaining about how mbdtf got a 6 about Austin's hotel reviews.

Matt Miller

As someone who only watched the China and Japan streams, I've never been to either, China seems way cooler to me. I don't get the Japan hype

Eric Woodard

Prestigious is a word btw

Michala Wallace

It’s goood to hear Will is enjoying China more than he expected. Last episode he seemed mid on it.

Brett Wodon

China has anime too :-D the CGI ones really suck but the 2D ones are mostly fine lol.

Wei Huang

Austin 😭😭😭 instantly "did you cum"

Devan

Woah Hasan is becoming white chinese

Slater Sann

Austin and Caroline carried this podcast today, I was crying laughing in both episodes.

Alex18000655506

They really phoned it in this episode. Understandable given they're traveling though.

B Simms

"did you cum?" made me fucking die- also "everything was wood at one point"

Boomtown

Oh my god an Austin and Caroline pod would be stunning

Doxie

Will's bidet story almost killed me.

Larriet

Our halal king Austin ❤️

Sasha

Hasan saying Europeans keep to themselves and are quiet has clearly forgotten about Italians

TeddyB

great ep! excited for the vlog content austin!

Abhik Basu

this episode revealed to me that lotr-spiritually: caroline's an elf, will and hasan are men, austin's a hobbit who loves his single shot vanilla latte

Bac_Ho_

I've been loving all the china content. and the pods were great as well. I've loved the people out there with them as well they've all joined the group well and are good parts of the team.

Matt Miller

Bonus before regular today?

August VanDam

Always here for a Caroline co-host episode 🙌🏻
