Five Years Later:<br />
The Fung Brothers: Show Hosts, Comedians and Musicians<br />
The Fung Brothers: We had no idea where it was going to<br />
lead, to be honest, just tried to work hard every day. It’s still<br />
that way, for better or worse. Once we get a bigger team,<br />
we’ll be less reactive to the environment, haha.<br />
AM: How do you define success and how do you measure<br />
up to your own definition?<br />
TFB: We think success is just living how you want.<br />
Everyone has such different values, wants and needs,<br />
priorities. When we mean living how you want, that’s are<br />
you having the interactions you want? Meeting the people,<br />
you want?<br />
AM: What do you worry about and why?<br />
TFB: We worry about not living the life we want, haha.<br />
Just kidding (sort of ). We think a lot of it is just having<br />
access to the systems to create the art we want.<br />
AM: If you won $20 million in the lottery, what would<br />
you do with the money?<br />
TFB: Just scale up what we’re doing now. Things would<br />
move a lot quicker.<br />
AM: If you could select one person from history and have<br />
them truthfully answer one question, who would you<br />
select and what is the question?<br />
TFB: Probably something that would make us some<br />
money. If you knew how the pyramids were built, you<br />
probably could sell that for a bunch. Then we’d take the<br />
money and scale up quickly, haha.<br />
We interviewed Andrew and David Fun in our Summer 2014<br />
Issue, and we decided to chat with them for our 5th Anniversary<br />
Issue. The duo have 1.7 million subscribers on YouTube, where<br />
they share travel, food and comedy videos.<br />
RAYMOND LAM<br />
AM: What does <strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine mean to you?<br />
TFB: It’s just important to have people who care about<br />
our niche world. Not that many people in America do,<br />
even sometimes Asian people, because we’ve been taught<br />
to stay out of media and any “big picture trends” and<br />
just focus on our nuclear family and community. Which<br />
is understandable, but it’s time to take a look at the big<br />
picture too, the movements that don’t “directly affect dayto-day<br />
life.”<br />
<strong>ALIST</strong> Magazine: Looking back at where you were when<br />
you started this journey, where did you think it was going<br />
to lead you?<br />
