[00:00:00]Have you ever peed in a pool?

[00:00:04]No.

[00:00:05]Why are you lying to me?

[00:00:07]>> [laughter] >> Um Chad, you're half white, half Korean.

[00:00:11]>> Mhm. Which side of your family hates you the most?

[00:00:15]Oh my god. So, my Korean side might have some resentment because they don't get to see me as often. Where are they?

[00:00:23]They're in Korea.

[00:00:24]>> Okay. Speaking of uh Korean stuff, here, I got you this.

[00:00:27]>> Thank you. I love the wrapping. Chad, thank you so much.

[00:00:31]>> put much thought into it, to be honest.

[00:00:34]>> [groaning] >> Yeah.

[00:00:38]>> Chad, this is a replica of me. Yeah.

[00:00:41]Would you say that we look the same?

[00:00:42]Yeah, I do. Yeah, I would say he's your bias because you're your own bias. I am a tiny little Asian lesbian.

[00:00:50]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, you can have it. I don't want it.

[00:00:55]>> How many of these do you have? 12. Oh.

[00:00:58]Are you more passionate about Asian causes or white causes? Ooh, probably Asian causes. Why? I don't know. I didn't really like the whole tiki torch thing that my white side did.

[00:01:09]What did they do?

[00:01:10]>> They said some choice words, yeah, about certain people. Oh. Do you want to look into your camera and say what they said?

[00:01:16]>> Uh they said uh I don't want to get clipped. I would never clip this.

[00:01:21]>> Okay. They said Chad, is it hard being half white? Not really.

[00:01:37]I don't know. It depends though. Like, I feel like most Asian people see me as a white guy, and then most everyone else think of me of as an Asian person. Yeah.

[00:01:47]>> it all depends on the lighting and how how tired you are.

[00:01:50]>> Yeah, how tired >> [laughter] >> I am. And uh if I'm wearing glasses or not.

[00:01:54]>> take your glasses off?

[00:01:55]>> Sure.

[00:01:56]Oh. I'm so white now.

[00:01:58]>> So white. I'm a white guy.

[00:02:01]>> [laughter] >> Tell me more about what NPR stations you listen to. Have you heard of Invisibilia or uh All Songs Considered?

[00:02:12]Oh my god. Now there's an Asian guy sitting in front of me. Where did that white guy go? I don't know.

[00:02:17]Went to go hike. Why do white people like hiking so much? I think it's just an excuse to uh commune with nature. But I like mountain biking more. Which is arguably even more white.

[00:02:28]>> Who was your cartoon crush as a kid?

[00:02:30]Guano from Kappa Mikey.

[00:02:35]Who? Guano.

[00:02:37]What made Guano so attractive to you? I wanted to be him.

[00:02:43]When did boys start looking at things and being like that's hot? Oh.

[00:02:47]>> When was that?

[00:02:47]>> I was like six. Oh, wow.

[00:02:49]>> Yeah, I always thought that Milo from Atlantis, that Disney movie, was kind of hot.

[00:02:53]>> Yeah, the twink? I love that you know what a twink is. He was he he's a very attractive guy. Everyone in Honestly, everyone in that movie is attractive.

[00:03:01]>> What's the best way to break up with someone? Fake your death. You turn into the ghost.

[00:03:05]>> You turn into the ghost. What's your preferred method of breaking up with someone?

[00:03:09]>> I want them to look me in the eye and say, "I don't want you." Whoa.

[00:03:14]>> "Get out of here. Get out of my house.

[00:03:16]Leave." That's what I want.

[00:03:18]>> I don't love my fiance enough then.

[00:03:21]Cuz I will never let go.

[00:03:23]Not in like a toxic way.

[00:03:27]Your name is Chad Maxwell. Yeah. On a scale of 1 to Michael Cera, how white is that name? It's very white. If I make some Asian stuff or play an Asian guy and they see that on the list is Chad Maxwell.

[00:03:38]>> The N in your middle name, change it to like ninja.

[00:03:42]>> [laughter] >> So they know. Chad ninja Maxwell.

[00:03:46]That could signal that I'm Asian.

[00:03:48]>> Yeah, and that you do martial arts. Tell me something about straight culture that most people don't know about.

[00:03:53]>> Here's the thing, right? The cool thing about gay culture There's something cool about gay culture?

[00:03:57]>> gay culture encompasses both sides of the relationship in a way, right? Cuz gay men it's homagious, right? But with straight culture there's two sides of it. There's the straight women culture and the straight men culture. So honestly, it's just men and women culture. So the only part I can really speak of on behalf of is straight guy culture.

[00:04:22]And uh What was the question?

[00:04:30]Yeah, no problem.

[00:04:31]>> this movie? Like K-pop demon hunters.

[00:04:34]>> Okay. Oh, cuz you're Korean.

[00:04:35]>> Yeah.

[00:04:36]>> The K in K-pop stands for Korean.

[00:04:38]>> Yeah. Korean pop music demon hunters is the full government name.
