It's the healthtron 2000xl!
Two thousand times the power of the healthtron 1.0!
This bad boy does it all.
If you drop your keys in there,
Kiss them g'day, mate.
But we're going to find out if it's good enough at making...
- Ultimate thick milkshakes. - (crowd cheering)
Let's get started!
Banana. Milk.
Choco syrup. Choco chips.
What brings this boy to the yard?
Triple-churn ice cream,
- That's what. - Cartoon voice: Yummy!
Let's give it a go.
(record scratching, booming)
It's real loud!
That's the sound of health!
Are you using my setup to film fake infomercials again?
You know the rules.

For a delish bulking agent!
Crikey! That's bonzer!
Ripper! Just one more test.
We need to see if its thick enough for the ultimate flip.
♪
(in normal voice) oh, get the spoons! Get the spoons!
Andrew: (in normal voice) not enough bulking agents!
Camille: Too much milk!
How could they do that, dad?
What the f? It's an outrage.
Can you get over that spider-man already?
They did auntie may dirty. I'll never forgive.
- But it's not that. - Culturefest got cancelled!
What? Why?
Probably because bob hates me.
This year, it just happens to land on tet,
And he cancels? Convenient.
I've been working my butt off on my presentation about vietnam.
I wanted ong noi to see it!
Bummer. I was going to bless the community
With my chicken curry.
Dad, can't you do something about it? Please?
Oh, buddy, you don't got to milk
The last drops of your baby face cuteness for me.
I'm on it. Someone's getting a phone call
During office hours tomorrow!
I'm talking about bob.
Nobody was confused.
Man on phone: You've reached robert "bob" boberts,
Community development coordinator.
Please leave a message at the beep.
Thank you. Beep!
Oh! Hi, bob.
It's andrew pham.
You remember me?
You cancelling culturefest
Is like you cancelling cultural christmas,
Which makes you a culture grinch.
Culture grinch.
Oh, that is rich.
You faked your voicemail?
Bob: It's my vetting system.
Why'd you cancel culturefest?
On lunar new year, no less?
I reallocated the funds into a donor dinner
For the country club.
We had donairs.
You had a donair donor dinner?
Mm-hmm. Clever, right?
Culturefest is important!
Representation matters in our community.
It brings people together... In togetherness!
Look. I've been doing culturefest for 20 years.
If people are not cultured enough by now,
That is on them!
- I can't believe that guy. - You know, this is
- Right in your ballpark. - What? Fighting
With crusty municipal officials?
No, man. No one can pull together people in togetherness
Like you!
You should run culturefest.
(sighing) I would do a better job than bob.
We need you, man.
Have you read the neighbourhood group chats lately?
Oh, I had to put it on mute
To avoid spoilers to celebrity cobbler.
Everyone's sad that culturefest is cancelled.
Is it even a year if it doesn't happen?
You know what?
I can do it.
I could totally pull this off.
That's the positive affirmations I'm talking about, man.
Stephanie, are you kidding me?
Of course. Alright. I appreciate this deal.
Thank you so much. Alright. Bye.
Just locked in the legion-- for free.
Me and hudson will have to do their books for a year,
But that's the barter life, baby!
That's huge. And sebastian confirmed he will donate
Tables, chairs, and two pallets of dish soap?
Are you sure he actually has them?
I asked him to send photos. Looked like he was in a bunker.
- I did not ask questions. - Yeah.
How's the event post doing, khia?
Great. A lot of people want booths.
Ah, it's all coming together.
I'm proud of me. No!
I'm proud of us.
Okay. How about this as the theme?
Togetherness.
- Camille: It's okay. - Khia: Kind of corny.
I like it.
Camille: Mm.
(man singing in foreign language)
Together in togetherness!
(camera snapping)
Woman: Andrew!
- Ba, you look so good. - Rock and roll.
Ma, did you bring any spring rolls?
There's two coolers full in the car.
But those are for our tet celebration at home later.
I made cà ri gà for my booth.
Actually, some others also made curry chicken.
Vietnamese style?
You know what, ma? You do you.
I was going to.
Where's leo? I promised I'd helped him with his phrases.
Oh, uh, he's around.
Ba, no swear words.

Okay. What are you doing? Why are you being so weird?

I found a receipt for a horse carriage ride.
Super problematic for horses.
- Okay. - But super romantic.
I think nikhil's going to propose.
What? That's amazing!
No! I was planning to propose on valentine's day.
Aw! Since when are you romantic?
- Since I fell in love, stupid. - You're stupid.
You're stupid. Stop it.
I can't let him beat me to it.
Why are you two so competitive?
I'm still traumatized from our last games night.
Because it's our thing and it's hot.
Okay. I love love, but that's gross.
- You're gross. - You're gross.
Stop. Just find out when he's planning on asking me,
And then I can ask him first.
Yeah. Okay.
- Say it like you mean it! - Ow! Okay!
So, I saw an open browser on carol's laptop
For engagement rings... For men.
- For me. - (camille gasping)
Oh, my god. Wow! That's so great!
I didn't know you two were there yet.
She can't propose to me. I have to do it.
Isn't that a bit outdated?
Oh, no, no, no. It's not that. It--
I'm already planning to propose on valentine's day.
- Oh. - Yeah. Horse carriage ride,
Flowers, the whole thing.
Right, right, and you have to beat her to it
So she doesn't steal your thunder.
- Exactly. - Hmm.
Yeah. Carol's competitive about everything,
Especially sex.
That's a team sport, but, uh I see you.
It's the principle of it, right?
- Yeah. - I'll find out
When she's planning to do it.
Ah. You're the best.
Both: Shh! Shh! Shh!
Omg. They both want to propose on valentine's day?
- It's so cliché and exciting! - (camille squealing)
Does this mean we'll be more related?
Probably, but not in a gross way.
(in raspy voice) family.
Yeah! (squealing)
- Chill. - Be cool. Be cool. Be cool.
Be cool.
(music playing)
Ow!
(music continuing to play)
Oh, those are some lovely aromatics.
Oh. Thank you.
And, uh, what do you got over there?
Oh, I got some, uh, curry chicken.
Oh.
- Is that chicken curry, linh? - Yes.
There's a vietnamese curry chicken?
- The best kind. - Hmm. Looks like we all brought
Chicken curry.
Oh, but no, no, no, no, no, no. I brought curry chicken.
That's the way you're supposed to say it.
Is that right?
Mm-hmm, and it's not just a dish.
(in jamaican accent) it's a lifestyle.
(in normal voice) no. Seriously, it takes a long time
To marinate the meat. Next-level stuff, so...
(chuckling) you're saying that to an indian woman. Yeah.
I got the og chicken curry.
So many spices blended together perfectly,
It'll make your taste buds spin.
(stammering) oh, might be og,
But we perfected it, so...
Please, don't fight.
They both look and smell terrible.
Mine's better.
Well, it looks like we have ourselves
A chicken curry competition.
No, a curry chicken competition.
You two don't stand a chance.
- (unclear), move. - (hudson panting)
Why?
Whoa! Smells amazing.
- What's going on? - It's a chicken curry showdown!
- Curry chicken! - Son, I'm about to destroy
- Your wife and best friend. - Why so violent?
Did you know they were making the same thing?
I didn't think it'd be a problem.
It's not, because my curry's going to put theirs
- To shame. - Oh, yeah? Try me.
Hudson: Yeah. You're going down.
- Camille: You're going down. - You're going down down.
Camille: No. You're going to go way down.
- Babe, togetherness. - Hudson: You're going so down.
Yeah. These meat and potatoes together in this pot.
Well, the spices together in this pot.
Hey, everyone.
I just want to thank you so much for all of your hard work.
By the end of this,
We are going to feel more together than ever,
And that is the pham guarantee.

Okay. Time for the magic.
Doors to culturefest officially opens

Here's bobby!

Bob. I thought you washed your hands of culturefest.
I never wash my hands.
Just came by to see your work.
You need permits for all of this.
- Oh, do I? - Mm-hmm.
Got them! Respect to barb.
It's my classic culturefest configuration.
I see my influence weighs heavy around here.
Yeah. That's just what you do with tables and chairs.
Well, ip infringement aside,
I don't see a lot of togetherness.
Mostly just conflicting curry smells.
The togetherness is going to be coming... Together.

Enjoy yourself, bob?
That's what today is all about.
Oh. I certainly will... Enjoy myself.

I cannot believe bob had the nerve to show up.
He just came to stir up trouble.
Don't let him get under your skin.
Speaking of stirring, can you help out?

Set the example!
The example of failure?

Some numpty's trying to hook up their deep fryer
For the curry cook-off,
And I'm no hvac narc,

Seriously?
I loves a curry cook-off! (laughing)

Camille: Try mine. Try mine. It's (unclear).

You need to have it with the naan, though.

So, next Saturday,
How about we go to the observatory
For the meteor shower?
Eh. I was thinking,
Saturday, we would take a day trip to bimini cliffs.
Where we had our first date?
Oh, did we? Weird.
(whimpering)
Fun fact: The term "curry" was coined by the british
As a blanket term for indian cuisine.
Not sure how that's fun exactly,
But my curry chicken was voted by my granny
As second best next to hers!
Oh, and if you knew granny June,
You know how impressive that is.
Oh, I do know granny June,
And I'm still not that impressed.
Well, looks like we've got, uh, quite the competition.
How you going to decide who wins?
- I win. - No. No. We just--
We haven't figured that part out yet.
Yeah. We're really focused on the trash talk.
Well, allow me to be of service.
Camille: No, no. Uh-uh-uh.
What? You just always have a spoon on you?
I refuse to lick ice cream off a cone.
Okay. Well, you shouldn't even be here,
- So can you please leave? - Okay. I'll mark you three down
As not participating.
I'm going to go try the pakistani chicken curry.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Curry chicken, and bob, how about you try some of mine?
- Sure. - Right? Mannix, let's-- let's--
Yeah.
There you go.
Wow. That has quite a kick to it.

Is four different peppers.
Well, if you're looking for flavour and not flames,
You should try mine. (chuckling)
It's got fresh curry leaves,
Known to help with eyesight and dysentery.

There is a lot of spices.
Nine, to be exact. (laughing)
Overcompensating. Come here.

My son would even eat the bones!
Oh, come on, linh!
It's true!
Oh. Children eat this?
Linh: It's just lemongrass and shallots.

Hey! Whoa! Hey! No, no, no, no, no.
Mannix, you can't be fraternizing with the enemy!
Camille: Khia, back to the booth.
At least one thing we agree on.
Hudson: I know, right?

Hey. Now, it's time for our performances.

Like tet, which is actually today.
It's our new years',
When the whole family comes together.
We play games and eat 'til we explode!

Many important people in vietnamese culture,
But my favourite vietnamese hero is...
American movie star chuck norris!

- Uh-oh. - Man: Is that a joke?
Leo: On wikipedia, it says he's born in the usa,
But in an interview, he says he was reborn in vietnam.
- You showed him those movies? - Ha!
He wanted to learn about the war.
I don't like to talk about it.
Andrew: Why didn't you show him something
That wasn't a white saviour movie?
- There aren't any. - Okay.
And then chuck norris secured the capital
- Through martial arts! - (andrew laughing loudly)
Give it up for leo pham, everyone!

Needs to talk to you.
