" Yeah. -- and welcome back. To my show my friends started a word blog in January that quickly became one of the most popular blogs on Internet. Why because it easily one of the best lines Internet. From stop what people like Cairns Christian Lander I don't Christian -- on the show him you know what I knew that I was -- really white guy but I didn't realize how white Knight was until I started reading your book to look at your blogging and FaceBook -- I mean this. This this reads like my memoirs. I'm noticing the issues these -- one of the -- new balance shoes you say that white people love new balance -- absolutely what do you plan you know than about now there's there's no. Everything else and coffee and PR Wrigley Field -- difficult breakups today dive bars yet and usually my difficult breakups happened as a result of my spending its time dive bars is a matter of fact been resolved by going back to this -- much of the book in the website that they how much is auto biographical. Everything except outdoor performance --"

" I. Don't think you were only there but you know what --"

" The like for me the work. You're successful and very good at what you do and I'm not. -- either of those things for example what's this business about you -- in a six figure deal with a big publisher after you started this line is that true. I can't comment on c'mon you gotta tell -- the two of us here in the show. I literally get onto -- anything else -- I can't comment okay what was that your intent to monitor side and who -- hundreds starts show my friend miles and I we're having intimacy or conversely the TV show the wire. Both huge and here we look people in the why not all of them that's where this came from -- and miles said miles Philippine city didn't trust any white person doesn't much like. They don't know what's going on in the streets right. And thousands and recuperate until you hit that not to wear street. And there's and what are you doing instead of watching the wire. And -- these -- back for getting divorced. Going to -- he doing yoga going to wait that it here yet at night and after the conversation incorporated corporations I said it -- okay. That's -- I'm I'm starting to start a blog. And went to word press dot com like a million other people have done. I typed in stuff like that we're press dot com and started right. And that was it just started writing and what was the first entry. Coffee cup and these are rank these are -- and dealers in coffee was in Alaska's my high school. There are always these guys who attach when of those plastic coffee mugs to the back of the backpack. And usually it was with one of those carpenters are. Binders what the hell is so for a rookie rock climbing. And it has their -- and so proud their drinking coffee. But I knew immediately get -- the ninth grade but there's no way Yahoo! and -- a bit like don't know why talked him into -- might get exactly -- it -- smoking if they hate it for awhile before you like it. And so there was always a white guy who do you know you know that reminds him -- another thing in this book with with that hanging from the -- not bottled water you know that white people like it's water in -- yes tell me about that it's not. And I mean it's a hierarchical like most the book talks about like different rankings of white people about the importance of one nothing like people have you ever bottled water like Fiji water. We huge carbon footprint exactly got a garden -- all the way from yeah you're. Let's not smart as a progressive now terrible seat -- someone as an LG model right Nicosia to. -- controversy about the LG and that's the ultimate comes. They get strong by the people with the seek bottles to metal ones -- conveniently -- a lot of the guys who works here. That entity decliners -- not sure that whoever is over there. Welcome pop problem that's in the book tipped smoke if I could. What you're likely yes and you have that enough big bottle. You know manufactured fair trade conditions and no leaching of toxins in plastics and do you."

" breaks my heart is it was now -- bottles are made in my hometown of Rochester New York and kind of everything that. And there is -- birds code you have stuff and I. And it is their new examples of stuff the white people like that have not yet they're not the book that hit the block and on the new FaceBook didn't you want to."

" It's coming next is unpaid internships. Because for some look around you like wow and how they did all of it and because what's great about is why people are willing to go through a cut throat unturned unpaid internship or job that pays 24000 dollars a year. No -- going to do you know that repair full time. 1000. There but -- the -- it's not really about white people. It's about upwardly mobile way people get progressively wipe him NASCAR for example it's not in this book yeah it's about people. People like you can't assume -- you mean. It's all right yeah it's it's it's as much of a class doesn't yet and so I grew up in Toronto Canada. And in this city and what happened was str my childhood I saw the entire white working class -- in San Francisco mr. Cooper's Seattle. Was pushed out of the city. Until all that was left was these kind of white people so -- white people the only guy like me -- them part of the bit he's the only kind I grew up and miles to you know it was funny to us. But it's not even about races well because it's about. You know being up or. Upper middle class liberal Iranian and it's where. In the old days you have this quest for status based on money Iranian like look at at a Bentley look at got a house with eighteen badgers. This new generation that -- part of his investment during that O'Grady get it mostly down thanks for killing all of us here -- the Prius that runs on. You know bid to garbage like him back to the future. Someone had the glory and honor I would that would really impressed me. Or Iranian who's more authentic you know who can order off the lake secret Japanese Iranian like this -- the stuff that impresses us not just like -- Sic liberal Republican sort of the secret you know -- That count now you you know those an election. -- all about that secret and you how many people just didn't get the joke with this book and said you're a big fat white race. A lot real I was -- oh yeah I know and that's on actually the things the comments that I usually get are you're terrible writer you're not funny your racist. -- I really don't like being called the first excellent I'm not sure are very insecure about about your good writer money but I know for a fact that I'm not a racist that's really easy to deal that would love it is people like well. I don't like sushi so I guess I'm not -- how dare you make this accusation about. We need based on my race that's not true something you like some sort of generalization. -- Do you like do you not like. And the FaceBook -- has. And multiple choice answers to help determine a more accurate level online. At the end of it you're given a small graphic to describe you know what you -- as wipers Prius. The expense of sandwich whole foods bag currently I am a whole foods that took the test myself that if -- And the best part is I'm the guy develops kind of knew there have been develop the -- will tell you the widest networks and FaceBook. Because what it does is the it draws data from rivers filling it out and with the score if it finds it what network they were part of and ranks them until right now for some reason the Mayo clinic. Is the latest network on face the Mayo clinic Mayo clinic. While I would think your view then I think of BC you know -- your -- something. No this is an I don't know if he's got like a real network these -- the -- have to be at heart as big Obama -- in the book number -- a black guy be a white person according to both courses look at absolutely really doesn't have much to do with race it's more about one -- it's also -- any and is one of the things -- got from going into Toronto from people who were you know second and third generation. From immigrant families you know is Asian Hispanic if you like anything in this book. You will get accused of acting white and a feeling a little that your coauthor co co conspirators in the Philippines yet he's -- nine right and that you get. You get accused of that and a lot of people who didn't really grow up in a multicultural violently just don't really get. You know and I think that's that's when the strength of the book."

" Well I think your racist I didn't think you're fantastic writer I'm very funny and most of all Christian letter you art Internet superstar thank you so -- did hear they hear and read and comment on the blog about yet read the book. Because white people love books. He could find your copy -- but there's almanac highly highly recommend it hilarious stuff please and thank friends are coming up we'll talk you guys later -- better known as the wars kid and we'll -- that -- gators right after this -- response."

But I guess I got a bad one because my aunt Clara swears it would you turn on her rumba had acted like a transformer. Suddenly morphed into Mike Tyson. -- he she swears that Mike Tyson held captive in her home for three weeks. And that let them go -- and would come he would change back into the muck. I should've gotten -- Netflix instead. That instead of being held captive by evil Mike price since she would be safe at home comfortably enjoying over 90000 played with no late fees. We had to sell that movement some other people I hope it doesn't turn back in a Mike Tyson. -- and actually Mackey. I don't think it will though because after all my aunt Clara Barton.

Martin broke character a few times during the interview. My fragile fantasy has been dashed to the floor by his carelessness!

Alright. This ep. deserves a little more discussion. I mean, it wasn't bad or anything.

After reading a few posts on stuffwhitepeoplelike.com, I feel incredibly shallow and stupid. Thank you, Cristian Lander.

It's good to see the Star Wars Kid can still find work, maybe he'll take an unpaid internship with you guys next summer?

One of the best episodes I've seen so far :)

It feels less scripted than the last few ones and with more content (the last ep's were basically Interview - Coach Cole/Ricky Kang - Gator's gal and an awful lot of Marty-Gator "comedy").

I enjoy most episodes but I think that this one was one of the best. I hope that keep doing shows like this.

Re: Star Wars Kid

Ghislain is pronounced "Jiss-lain". The "lain" is said without ending the "n" completely. Ah, French! It is a beautiful language.

En plus, un méchant bon épisode!! Keep up the great work!
