why is Austin so cheap about ordering food?
milk
Of course Austin cares about someone wearing a suit at the White House 🙄
Dayle O'Leary
this really was the best patreon episode
Lia
South Korea trip next?!
RolXnDaPakalolo
But when are we getting that Fear& soundtrack?
Pushkar SB
Yeah
Pushkar SB
Whats funny is Austin will do the most insane shit at Hasan's house but Hasan is forbidden to do anything in Austin's HOTEL ROOM
Mehhlle
The audio at the end 😂😂
Chloe
will is a mess
Chelsea
Damn I wanted to hear Austin and Will talk more about the emotions and feelings of “missing” someone and Hasan had to end it
Korralicious
Bro 😭
O
will is your typical weeb
Hayley Khan
The china streams have been so good, had to catch them on the vods as you know- work. Although fear& will neff and Pete premiere 2 would have been amazing!
Kelli
Will needs to visit outside Tokyo
KO1NZELL
I know its probably a joke but going frmo dropping 3K on a room upgrade to penny pinching the room service is crazy whiplash
Carmnsndiego
Will made me cry at the end 😭🥰
Junileaf
We miss QT 😭 Hopefully she travels with y'all soon
vines
the "assortment of nuts" after asking for more food took me out
vines
christian deserved those pants
Babobop
Ditch QT and move to New York. She has another podcast. Vibes would be better with just you three.
Mahesini
vulnerable Austin lolllll ah
Renee
Will's beautiful monologue about wanting Austin at his funeral, carrying casket etc, followed up with Hasan's "that's why you should show us your dick" is exactly why I watch this podcast.
piscesdaydream
love drunk Will & vulnerable Austin
1312xNLTxBRRTRPx1312
Hasan looking like Yusuke Urameshi fused with Clark Kent, Will looking like a pirate/Castlevania protagonist, and Austin looking like a anime delinquent protagonist fused with Frank Sinatra. Gosh golly 😍💖😱
Elise 3112
Charcuterie refers to cold cuts, so traditionally they have no cheese. Sorry to disappoint.
Caleb -PSL-
Will talking about equilibrium this equilibrium that, when it’s really just dense pedestrian scale urbanism lmao
Renee
"4 beers 4 beers 4 beers" Hasan deserves all the quando quando quando's going forward
Renee
(Excluding qt episodes) This is the best fear& episode yet!
Renee
Austin you NEED to pay your parking fine
Al
I liked Japan a lot but living there is another ballgame the culture on the surface is great but once you dig below there is a lot of problems, insane work culture and xenophobia. I’d be curious if will would feel the same if he worked a salaryman job in Japan and lived there. China I have the feeling people are honest and sometimes to a fault but I could see myself living there a lot easier.
TraumaLance
Man had the mic awareness of Vince Neil on stage at the end there
Tiffany Alexis
Will’s message at the end. 🥹
Passivexistence
Theory on mr beast, he tanked too much negative internet and turned evil
GodCilla
I'm sorry but Austin is unbelievably hot in that suit. 😭 Also, Will: "I like Japan better because it's worse."
GodCilla
I'm sorry but Austin is unbelievably hot in that suit. 😭
Onsen Dreamscapes
ya i was thinking have they ever been outside of tokyo? but his description of tokyo sounds about right and that's what he likes i guess.
Ryden Kaye
If by comfort you mean the nice furnishings and interior design stuff then yeah japan is way better at lower prices. But imo people are a big part of comfort to me and the people of china work hard to make you feel at home even if the room isn’t furnished too well
hind
my favorite patreon ep by far
Taylor
I love Marche and all rights for Marche but I also almost piss myself laughing every time Will curses at him or treats him like his sexy little underling.
7tyui
Love y'all, great group of friends
Spritelass67
Watching the interactions with the Chinese people reminds me of midwest Americans. Friendly, open but not pushovers or fake. I can see why Hasan likes the people of Chinese.
Jess
Will’s drunk laughter brings me even more joy than his regular laughter
Uriel Duran
need someone to love me like a middle age white man loves japan
CJ Wilson
i truly envy his ability to tell people how much he loves and appreciates them, because i feel like i never can quite put my feelings into words like he’s able to, it’s impeccable
CJ Wilson
this is coming from a place of ignorance not accusation, but is there really no other muslim majority country with those amenities? turkey? morocco? egypt? syria used to fit this role as well before the war
Alexus Acuña
this is the greatest patreon ep, purely for the room service segment😭😭😭😭
annabella
lowk austin's karen-ness has been revolutionary for me, there was this time i ordered boba to be delivered, and it took 2 hours, so i advocated for myself and got a refund for it -- not monetarily very much but it's the principle
Anxious Bean (Sabina)
25:51 Big relate holy shit I also need someone to literally tell me that I am their friend
Ashar Saleem
Im going to get a lot of hate for this, but the way Will feels about Japan, is the way I feel when I go to Dubai. It's the place that has felt like home the most to me. Let me start with stating the obvious. It's abhorrent the way so many people are basically slaves in the Middle East. It's absolutely repulsive. However, it's not the opulence or the gaudy lifestyle that appeals to me. It's the existence of a Muslim majority country with all that entails, Halal food, abundant Mosques, without dealing with the openly extreme fundamentalism, and lack of safety that other Muslim majority countries have. I've lived my life in the US, and Pakistan. Dubai was the first place I went to that has the modern amenities and safety that the US has as well as the cultural benefits that I was looking for. If that makes me a bad person, it is what it is. I hope they get rid of their slavery situation soon.
Ashar Saleem
Austin being a cheapskate is so fucking funny. I dont know how much of it is a bit, but I love it nonetheless
oatmeek
On a random parasocial note, I've been following Will and Hasan ever since the Buzzfeed days when I was a depressed highschooler, and I'm so proud to have watched them grow into the confident, successful men they are today. Love them and the Fear& crew so much. They make my grim days brighter, always 💜
Catherine
Remember when Will was apprehensive about going to Japan the first time 🥲🥲 I love how much he loves it. Also Austin, QT has been talking about escaping to the mountains or whatever again after Streamer Awards so I wonder she could be convinced by Oregon 🤔🤔
og_bobbiecrystalmami
Chinese Mott's Juice boxes
Rasha Jasim
Hasan belongs in NYC anyway
4on4nam
I can't believe Hasan won't visit Portland because he's homophobic 😭
Turbo_twink
Tell me when will you be mine? Tell me quando, quando, quando..
Turbo_twink
Hi Austin, if you’re reading this, I need you to tell me something that’s very important..
Anahí
1. WILL! I absolutely love when you speak on politics!!! MORE PLEASE!! 2. WILL, please speak louder into the mic pleeeeez 3. Thank y’all for taking us to China ♥️ P.S. THANK YOU AUSTIN FOR THE KWANDO SONG
stella
Also I just wanted to say that I’m okay. Trust that my therapist knows all about all five members of this podcast. I have worked very hard on my mental health and come very far!
stella
I found Will’s speech at 40:25 to be profoundly touching. This is truly my favorite podcast because when you all speak it’s almost like looking in a mirror. The things said and emotions described on this podcast make me feel like I’m not alone in the universe. I feel that way a lot with QT when she talks about her anxiety and OCD but Will did it today. I want to say thank you for giving me this space and letting me know that there are people out there who understand what’s happening inside my mind. Even though you don’t know it you’ve helped me so much. I love this podcast so much and I love every member of this podcast so much🫶🏻
Dan Wenzel
Austin... Engelbert Humperdinck is his stage name LMAO
Emily
i expect a fear &: portland episode with QT too. drivable trip
Insert Working Title
This ep is so cute and wholesome
Insert Working Title
Austin not knowing how expensive the trip was after ordering just nuts is so fucking funny
Jorge Beta
VLT IS MY SHIT!! Dangerously good.
Lily Garner
With so many family friends being from China or and them taking yearly trips, that was something I could never share their experience and I feel a little bit closer to them now I love these trips and how respectful everyone is to the culture 🫶
Lily Garner
I’m glad fan support at the end of the day was appreciated. I’ve been watching y’all for so long and I loved every moment of this trip thank you for sharing so many cool things that I wouldn’t otherwise have been able to see. 🙏💞 especially the pandas.🥹🐼
Austin
I JUST FOUND THIS OUT TODAY
Eric Woodard
To clarify, this is not a dig at will. He's reasoning of resonating with the sadness is great. It's more so me being annoyed with how much white people in general treat Japan like a utopia
Prince Skye
one of the most unhinged patreon episodes ever and I absolutely loved it !
「THE WORLD」ゴゴゴ
What will was saying is that he likes japan because he relates to the general attitude many people have. A lot of Japanese seem to act like they constantly carry a deep sense of shame and guilt that they might accidentally be a public inconvenience or not be good enough. While Chinese people are much more bold and open it make sense Hasan prefers the attitude of chinese while Will relates more to japan. Will is a shy peacock at heart.
Marco
he'll get some backlash but i also 100% relate. you can still acknowledge all the plenty problematic aspects of the country but at the same time love the vibes and the culture. i felt the undercurrent of meloncholy he mentioned as well it goes way beyond the "thing 😐 thing in japan 🤩" meme, weeb culture and the fetishization of everything japanese
Eric Woodard
All the Japan dick riding gets annoying. Not just Will, but any white person that likes anime talks about Japan like some utopia where everything is perfect. Don't get me wrong, it seems cool, but everywhere in China looked better.
Angelo S.
An expert in contradiction 🤣
stel phone
wills ending monologue being just him cutting in and out bc he’s too drunk to keep the mic in front of his face is so fucking funny
SoFarJohn
Are you sure he’ll be at your wedding? He might have Covid
Jeremy
Will anyone tell Austin that Engelbert Humperdinck is actually his stage name. His manager told him to use a famous German Composer's name to get more notoriety when he was starting
wizard_vic
When did they eat the wings? Lol Austin didn't order any. 😅
Sparrow Gray
These mfers eating chicken wings in the most dope ass suites is a crime
Sparrow Gray
Best opener
J_corgW
As much as Hasan complains about spending money on his friends we all know his greatest joy is being able to provide for the people he loves and honestly that's just so wholesome 🥹☺️
Gwen Hunt
I feel like Hasan would like Japan more if anything fit him there, he's literally too big to exist in Tokyo lol
Mia Luna
Will saying he wouldn’t get home sick for a person and then describing Japan that way lmao
eon52
"We've all had an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime trip and we hope that we can share a fraction of that pleasure, that growth, that enjoyment with you, because your patronage is what makes something like this possible. We had a moment with Hasan Piker, on a rooftop in Shanghai, we were looking at the skyline and he said "look at our lives, isn't this amazing" and I remember us being 21 years old, ??-ly, sweaty frat boys and the world was so small and now it feels so endless and that is because we have Incredible fans that allow us to do incredible things. So all of us want to take a second to thank you for being amazing patreons and we hope that after all of these years, we have many more trips to come."
hempracer
Austin stop being a baby.
lescassowaries
im gonna lovingly bestow the champagne socialist title upon Austin
Adoggman
he gets 1/5 of the podcast earnings... so $20k/month just from patreon, then add sponsors
Hisham
So Austin wants to make some of his money back, that’s why he got an ad every 2 minutes in his streams
lescassowaries
not to be nosey but how does Austin have the money to be racking up all these Marriott points lol
lescassowaries
losing my mind over Austin not coming a consensus with the group before ordering room service
NihilismRacoon
I just tried this on a whim and it told me I should live in Las Vegas probably one my least favorite places on Earth so I'd take this with a grain of salt lol
Pontus Ferm
Austin talking about his points just remind me of George Clooney's character in Up In The Air. Austin should watch it XD
Scott
Portland really is the best, moved from California in 2020
kyle
jUST BOYS BEIN BOYZ
26days
i feel like the hotel misunderstood their order and just included nuts and no cheese with the charcuterie since austin specifically said nuts?? thoughts?
oyin
Austin is lucky that zelensky section is not going on youtube🥴
JayyCoall
I see what Will is saying about Japan but I think china is that but better. Japan is too quiet and sheltered for me. Both have many similar things. But chinese vibes and people I think are better. They're not depressed. I do think anime/weeb culture is the big thing for it. Also I think china is "newer and more advanced". But I don't want to be around depressed people to make me more depressed lol I already live in america.
Alex Arruda
Hasan doesn’t like Japan cuz they yassified him last time
Tyler Graaf
I wish i could hear what will was saying at the end. lmao. he looks very sincere
Mini
I relate incredibly to what will was talking about with the culture of japan its so real, its more than the cultural exports but the attitude towards which they interact with the world.
mad_sap
Austin is cheap as fuck. QT should expect no Christmas gifts or cheap bras. 🤣
CJ Neal
Will needs to look up his astrocartography map. I bet his energy aligns with the Japanese zone. I never believed in that sort of stuff but had the most comforting sense of calm and happiness when I was in Maine. A friend did my chart and my line runs directly through the area I was visiting. I moved there this year, and I've truly felt better than I can remember in my adult life. It's just home. I think this is what Will is experiencing!
Michael Vercher
Austin is an absolute menace 🤣
Cynergy
You can tell there has been too much singing on this trip and/or he's spent too much of his time IRL streaming because Hasan looks and sounds like he's had it with this lot 😂
Preston
Is Irene a guide for China trips? What's her full name and how could I hire her?
Huy Nguyen
Will Neff always has an immense talent of expressing his gratitude and love for those around him. Always appreciate that he takes a moment to let that be known
ArchVylan
Will was the real white Chinese all along
Oscar
I simply do not believe Will is being serious about Japan like Tokyo is but one city. Also, the xenophobia...
kobi
aw, i feel that. i was supposed to study abroad in greece when that happened
kobi
PLEASE it would be peak
Lisa Lou Who
Please for the love of god do more intoxicated podcasts
Comedian GJ
As a mainland Chinese, i get what Will is saying. Japanese culture has a shade of melancholy to it that is kind of similar to what depressed people feel, and it didn't start from loosing WW2, it has always been this way.
AmFireAmDeath
As a 29 year old man I'm sitting hear giggling about how good a friendship you 3 have. More drunk patreons please.
SVZN77
"austin you will be important in my future childrens lives, but first show me your cock" thats called friendship.
Bricki1212
Willneff the first white Japanese
Tyler Allison
Dawg Voodoo donuts are in a bunch of places. There's like 3 in LA
Eduardo Alpizar
The one on the left is 127 and the one of the right is terrified of public intamacy. It makes for a hilarious chaotic dynamic
kyleeflowers
THE BOYS GOT SO MUCH CLOSER <3 LOVE THISSSS
Eduardo Alpizar
This is so real. Then the next time to see the person its like they never left
Eduardo Alpizar
Everyone of them needs therapy for complete different reasons haha. I've never seen someone get drunk and become more frugal. I was laughing at all of Austin's assertive "No!"
smeeth
*an alt-right nationalist hellhole
Edie Squire
2:10 austin really pulls out the Trump™️ hands
Jordan Bryan
Will looking like a pirate with the fit and facial hair
Gempetal
Austin really seems to likes withhold food from people smh
Hannah
I hope you all wear your Chinese suits to streamer awards
Kei
11:14 I watched the stream and it was so fucking funny when Austin pushed Christian to ask Hasan to buy him the pants because he knew Hasan would buy it if it's for Christian 😂 The confusion in Hasan's face when he saw them whispering to each other lol
2oV
52:32 coincidentally I was watching Tommynfg reacting to a video about Mr. Beastland. Quite a few of his commentary was about the poor workers who probably had to build this 😭
Alan
In America, people don't treat fellow neighbors as human beings. I think that's why Japan and it's hospitality sticks out like a sore thumb to Will. That being said, it's quickly becoming a alt-right nationalist hellhole. China is easily the better place to be hands down.
Andreas Mylonas (DredgenDark)
haven't felt this much joy watching an episode
2oV
45:58 same Austin lol. Hasan should visit. Also Portland is where you'd find BLM signs in the front lawn and it's 95% likely they're a white middle class family lol. My white coworker's were more excited about the verdict for the cop that killed George Floyd lol. 47:20 that's also the reason why it was funny people tried saying Zohran's policies would only work in "woke New York" like Portland doesn't exist. To be honest I used to not like my home state as a kid because of all the rain
Friendofsappho
I loved this episode, and at the risk of being parasocial, I cracked open a cold one too and enjoyed the sloshed ride together with our hosts
A Den
I have been singing Quando Quando Quando all week and people are beginning to get worried about me
Cole Carroll
Austin here is your reminder to pay a parking ticket
Nik Charalampidis
Austin take my money to be a bitch. I am so happy for you. A poor boy experiencing the world. B I T C H

+2 credit score
Onsen Dreamscapes
will Voodoo donuts get hasan to portland?
Onsen Dreamscapes
I agree regular people (not service workers) in China are way nicer but I don't have the funds to enjoy China the way you guys could. I feel like as a middle class tourist, you can have a much more pleasant time in Japan whereas you have to spend more in China (even tho it's way cheaper overall!) to have that same level of comfort in China. Anyway people in Korea are nice and it has the creature comforts on par with Japan that's cheaper at all levels
SR
Hasan annoying asf when Austin ordered jesus christ
Atsxeb
The concept of Toilet Fairy's Achilles heel being his own pinto. This is what legends are made of.
asteria
im gonna miss china so much 🥲
Onsen Dreamscapes
wow engelbert in coachella is only $48 and my birthday weekend. should i go?
David Ritchie
Will stating how much he appreciates Austin as a friend, was so genuine and why I love this podcast
Sloan Nesbit
Fake fan Austin doesn’t even know Engelbert Humperdinck ~is~ the stage name
Murphdog53
Will not missing people is actually from ADHD! “Out of sight, out of mind” is a very literal thing for us
KittenCatAubrey
Austin! Here is your reminder to pay your parking ticket!!
Katie
New white hat Karen segment but it's Patreon members calling Austin to request things
sergio ordonez
I pay for this patreon so Austin has enough cash that hasan and will can bully him into buying stuff for them. I think I require a free month, or at least an upgrade to make it right. As a consumer it's only right i get what I paid for
lena Keilman
hasan and will yelling while Austin was on the phone gave me so much anxiety
Will Hsu
Will being so self-righteous about Japan (which is a great place!) was kinda icky and annoying
Jeremy F
Oh my god they are so drunk lmao
Blue
the mic audio fading in & out during will's speech at the end killed me lmao
Ali Trejo
I knew Hasan had a vibe of a sugar daddy, but it was shocking (but not really) when it was revealed that the sugar babies where Christian and Austin
Melanie Stewart
I can’t believe they thought this episode wouldn’t be cock talk and could possibly be switched w main lolol
unnauwu
loved the china trip sm! <3
JoyJoy Bean
I want to move to Japan when I retire. I haven't been yet. This trip has made me what to visit China
oatmeek
Quando, quando, quando
Urdnot Wrex
both Will and Hasan views on China and Japan are valid, 1000% agreed. these 2 countries are madddd different from one another from the senses to the vibe and core. some ppl will vibe with one more over another. i personally vibe with Japan more, the combination how people act culturally and their approach to food win me over China despite they are behind China technologically and many other area.
Joey
This got endearing but I was really hoping for hole
JoyJoy Bean
Hasan is funny when drunk Will is always a gem Austin needs all the hugs (I tip in cash)
JoyJoy Bean
Every time I hear Humperdinck, I think of Lolita
Luke Guest
I hate to say it, but Austin has got me listening to Quando on repeat
Gat
😭😭 give them gruel lol
Fern
Austin’s saying “who tf is he hiding from” about Zelenski had me dying on the floor 😂😂😂
sadly yes
fear&portland get behind me, they can't hurt you
Sarah
Hasan and Austin completly ignoring Wills love declaration is hilarious
Yaz
not that srs, they're doing bits and playing up personality traits, live a little
Vane
Your China trip gave me so much FOMO. I was supposed to in October of 2020 but yall know what happened. 🥲
Maackyy
Bro omg Austin is so fucking annoyinggggg, like what do you mean you didn't even look at the price of the pants before insisting your friend buy it for you. Its giving intitled
Kat Holcomb
Hasan, I'll buy you wings from the best spot in Des Moines if you come visit the shitshow that is the Iowa Caucus next election cycle. I need the younger generations galvanized to get rid of this nonsense and get me a normal ass primary lol
saturnvillage
socialism is when hasan drains his bank account for his friends and starves for them
Aaryan Nemade
Austin must’ve watched always sunny cause the nuts bit is literally Mac
KapZachlan
Austin being more than happy to spend everyone’s money on his room upgrade but won’t get a couple beers is not helping his case
Minh Nguyen
Will confirming that Japan truly is whiteboy Wakanda
saturnvillage
them absolutely tormenting austin on the phone while he’s ordering is the best pay back for making them pay and extra 2k
Bitch
Lmao yeah Austin is super frugal
justrufus
@ fear and (esp. will) please speak into the mic from above and not the side. cant hear anything.
Crystal
As someone who leans left, you guys should understand us hongkongers yet you do not show it
Crystal
Im gunna say this again this episode was very disrespectful to hong kong. Im a hongkonger and calling us china, not understanding the difference between mandarin and cantonese, calling us backwards just pissed me off
Kyle Lewis
I NEED QT!!
sadok lajmi
omg I finally found the one thing I have in common with will and it's that we don't understand the notion of missing someone
Andrea Joan
The Fear & podcast will one day end because Will is going to be living in Japan, QT is gonna leave to Utah and never come back, Hasan is going to be between NY and LA, and Austin will be back in Portland with all his creature comforts. And you know what, that is the only way I will accept this podcast ending.
a
I personally was very excited about having more Austin streams during the china trip and hope he knows how much we appreciate him + he brought along christian (who is so fun !!), so bonus points for that
encore
Japan is getting more rightwing as time goes by while China improves itself step by step. Hope they visit China again next year!
Violet Dunn
Maybe I retract my last comment on last weeks free episode about Austin’s rich blindness LMAOOO I’m crying making Hasan drop 1k and all he wants to get is a measly order of peanuts for them I’m CRYINNNNNNGGGG LOLLLLL
Matthew Terwin
Another episode of Austin getting shit from his heterosexual gay dads. This is peak content
✧༺ jo ༻∞
you’re telling me dinglebert humperkink is performing near me!? u bet me and all the senior citizens will be there having an absolute HOOT!
George Sotomayor
Mauricio Miranda
Malin
hasan‘s been refusing to go to portland to visit austin for a good three years now but went to fuckass utah for qt in a heartbeat #willtheywontthey
Samwise Inks
So glad you guys documented as much as you did. I’ve been wanting to go to China for 2 years now and I feel like I got to experience it from home. Cheers fellas :)
Alex18000655506
Oh no, this was so good. The next episode is going to be so depressing lol.
Devan
"You buy me pants you fucking turkish slut" im crying WIlll omggggg
jc
China Trip has been really awesome, Austin has been so hilarious
Mai
I have to go to china... (I mean i have been to hk and macao but not mainland) i lived in Japan and understand what they are saying here -- japan is fucking sick and amazing and there was something about the quality of life that was very freeing and has all the aesthetics i love, but the people are only superficially welcoming after a couple of months. So I'd love to see how I'd feel in China.
Malin
tbf that‘s an egregious stage name to choose. i don‘t blame him for just assuming that’s his government name
timer3
contrarian in his heart
sanlega
An assortment of Nuts, PLEAAASEE AUSTIN!!!! The funniest shit
Ryden Kaye
I think will gets negatively polarized into stuff super easily. like with refusing to watch andor because the people recommending it are annoying i think he's started subconsciously decreasing his opinion of China because of how much people want him to like it
Jonen
Cuando cuando cuando has truly been the soundtrack to the entire trip. Cinema. Austin feeling like an inconvenience when he's one of the funniest guys of all time D:
Matt Miller
Austin "starts ordering, sorry need to look at the menu" Hasan starts looking at the expensive stuff on the menu Austin "oh ok just orders the thing I originally said"
Adam Humphries
Quando, quando, quando!!!!!
wimpy
I love austin so much
Edgil Raiche-Tanner
Bro does Austin not know Englebert Humperdinck IS his stage name?
Matt Miller
Oh bad news about our boy Engelbert Humperdinck his real name is Arnold George Dorsey. Still the goat though
Mathieu Boisclair
the Humperdink parts for the pod and the streams made me the most parasocial to Hasan; I hated the scat and crooner songs the most of all the content. Actually I muted all those singing by the last week. thank god he's 89 yo and closer to death than his next "Quando Quando Quando" performance.
Hector
chairman piker fit 🔥
