1:27
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:28
Speaker 2: Why? Why would you think about this a lot?
1:29
Speaker 1: Because I think it's fascinating. Okay. Right. Because people can't,
1:34
Speaker 1: some people can't believe it. They see it, they, you
1:37
Speaker 1: show somebody, like you show a baby in Asian or whatever,
1:40
Speaker 1: I think they'd be surprised, kind of.
1:41
Speaker 2: No, they look the same. Smaller eyes, squintier eyes, that's it,
1:46
Speaker 2: you know?
1:46
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good point. Some of them are, I
1:47
Speaker 1: guess if you have a tall baby, yeah.
1:50
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a little squintier, a little flatter nose. That's it, really.
1:54
Speaker 2: You're all the same, man. Yeah, some of us can
1:57
Speaker 2: look whiter than you. Some of us can be fairer
1:59
Speaker 2: than white people. Oh, yeah, that's a good point, huh? Yeah,
2:02
Speaker 2: I think we should have some white privilege. I know, right? Yeah.
2:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds fair. I'm whiter than you. That's a
2:09
Speaker 1: good point. Look at this. Look at this shit, yeah.
2:11
Speaker 1: Look at this honky. Look at this freaking sesame cracker.

2:39
Speaker 1: Ooh.
2:40
Speaker 2: It's dangerous. Yeah.
2:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. It is. Yeah. Just a few letters away. It's risky, brother.
2:46
Speaker 2: That's an N-I-G. There's no A in there, thankfully.
2:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, but... There's enough there, I think, where people would
2:54
Speaker 1: be like, what's going on here?
2:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that Vietnamese, there's that meme of the Vietnamese restaurant.
3:00
Speaker 2: The name of the restaurant is B-I-C-H-N-G-A.
3:03
Speaker 1: Oh, oh. Bich Nga. Just pronouncing, just ordering food, huh?
3:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, just call it the Vietnamese. There's one where there's
3:13
Speaker 2: a black guy narrating over it and saying, you can't
3:16
Speaker 2: tell me this is not bitch. Bich Nga, Bich Nga. Wow, brother.
3:22
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, man. We try, man.
3:24
Speaker 1: We try. But I also like it's cafe. All of
3:28
Speaker 1: the ribs. So this is a popular sound in, and
3:33
Speaker 1: you said you're from Malaysia?
3:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. That's not, in Vietnam, it would be NG something.
3:38
Speaker 1: Okay.
3:39
Speaker 2: NGA, NGU, YEN, WIN, right? But in Malaysia, Singapore, and
3:44
Speaker 2: Hong Kong, you will see NG.
3:46
Speaker 1: NG. Yeah, yeah. It's confusing.
3:49
Speaker 2: No.
3:52
Speaker 1: I went to Malaysia one time when I was a
3:53
Speaker 1: student Oh shit, really? Yeah, we went to, what's the capital?
3:57
Speaker 1: Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur, yeah For what? I just was
4:00
Speaker 1: a student on this thing called Semester at Sea It's
4:02
Speaker 1: like a floating school And one of the stops was
4:05
Speaker 1: over there in Malaysia.
4:06
Speaker 2: So you took a boat, like a boat over there.
4:08
Speaker 1: Like a cruise ship, it's like a, pull it up
4:12
Speaker 1: That's a long trip, man Oh, it was a long trip,
4:14
Speaker 1: we left out of Vancouver, Canada.
4:17
Speaker 2: That's how I got here from the same boat I
4:20
Speaker 2: think oh really? yeah I just crawled on to your
4:23
Speaker 2: you know your boat without a visa.
4:25
Speaker 1: Oh yeah welcome that's how most people are getting in.
4:28
Speaker 2: Semester at sea we are not the best tourist destination
4:31
Speaker 2: though Malaysia you know we are like a little tiny
4:34
Speaker 2: little country we live well there the quality of life
4:38
Speaker 2: is pretty good but we are not like a big
4:40
Speaker 2: tourist place.
4:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it felt like that. I think it
4:43
Speaker 1: felt like the beaches and then kind of what do
4:44
Speaker 1: we do here a little bit.
4:46
Speaker 2: There's nothing to do there. You just eat and live
4:48
Speaker 2: your life.
4:50
Speaker 1: But are, so don't forget this, are Malaysians the most vain?
4:54
Speaker 1: Who's the most vain? Koreans, man. Is it? Yeah.
4:58
Speaker 2: Like Korean Koreans. Not Bobby Lee Korean. You know, Bobby Lee's,
5:02
Speaker 2: I think he was born here, right?
5:03
Speaker 1: Bobby Lee? Yeah. There's undeniable that God does not have
5:06
Speaker 1: a birth certificate that's legitimate.
5:09
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
5:10
Speaker 1: He probably, he's obviously a POW, you know?
5:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
5:13
Speaker 1: He has very POW energy. That's true. And he has
5:16
Speaker 1: a lot of trauma, I think. Yeah, he has a
5:17
Speaker 1: lot of burn marks on his back, too. Oh, really? Yeah,
5:20
Speaker 1: from cigarettes, I think from gambling issues, but people say
5:23
Speaker 1: different things, you know?
5:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think Koreans are the vainest Asians, man.
5:27
Speaker 2: They have a whole skincare. They're known for skincare. The
5:29
Speaker 2: whole country is known for skincare and plastic surgery. Oh, really? Yeah.
5:33
Speaker 1: Bring up some of that Asian skincare.
5:36
Speaker 2: There's lots of stuff, man. They put snail, that snail juice,
5:40
Speaker 2: you know, and the snail crawls. It leaves behind like
5:42
Speaker 2: a trail of goo.
5:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:44
Speaker 2: They put that shit on their skin.
5:46
Speaker 1: No way. Look at that woman.
5:47
Speaker 2: She's like glowing. Look at that.
5:50
Speaker 1: Oh, they got some porch lamb Asians over there. Yeah,
5:55
Speaker 1: that's why I think they already, some people look dead
5:58
Speaker 1: already because they just are preserved.
6:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, preserved well.
6:02
Speaker 1: Bring up that snail juice thing. I want to see that.
6:04
Speaker 1: Can we get something about that?
6:05
Speaker 2: You have to Google snail mucin, M-U-C-I-N. Yeah, that's why
6:10
Speaker 2: I have a joke about this that I do in
6:12
Speaker 2: my act that it's hard to find Asian pedophiles because
6:16
Speaker 2: they all look like they're 12.
6:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:17
Speaker 2: But they're actually 35. Why would you take the risk
6:21
Speaker 2: on an illegal one? Oh, yeah.
6:23
Speaker 1: You'll find you're just molesting yourself.
6:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, just molesting your people. And then you're like, oh, shit.
6:28
Speaker 2: They look 16.
6:29
Speaker 1: Advanced.
6:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of thing.
6:32
Speaker 1: Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. Lightweight essence which absorbs
6:36
Speaker 1: into the skin fast to give skin a natural glow
6:39
Speaker 1: from the inside. This essence is created from nutritious, low-stimulation,
6:43
Speaker 1: filtered snail mucin. To keep your skin moisturized and illuminated
6:48
Speaker 1: all day. Wow. Yeah, it's good marketing writing, right? Yeah.
6:53
Speaker 2: I don't know how real it is. How do you
6:55
Speaker 2: know it's actually snail mucin?
6:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:57
Speaker 2: You know? It could just be water and sugar and cornstarch.
7:01
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They could have anything in there.
7:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't do that kind of shit. I think that's, yeah.
7:08
Speaker 1: That's very Asian right there.
7:10
Speaker 2: No, it's a white woman doing it.
7:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we learned it from you guys. I mean,
7:15
Speaker 1: that is cheekbone sashimi. That's true. That's true. We bring
7:18
Speaker 1: a lot to the world. Oh, that's so wild. So
7:20
Speaker 1: that's a real thing that people are buying this. And
7:24
Speaker 1: how much does it go for? Give me how much
7:25
Speaker 1: for a quart of it?
7:27
Speaker 2: Oh, CVS has it.
7:29
Speaker 1: Nuh-uh. Go get some later. Really?
7:34
Speaker 2: $ 24.
7:34
Speaker 4: 99.
7:34
Speaker 2: $ 24.
7:34
Speaker 1: 99 for, oh, for seven and a half ounces, huh?
7:37
Speaker 2: Yeah. You don't need it. You have good skin, man.
7:38
Speaker 1: I'm okay. But, you know, everybody wants to do a
7:41
Speaker 1: little bit more. But how do you even farm it
7:43
Speaker 1: out of them? Do you follow right behind them with
7:45
Speaker 1: a little scooper? I don't know, man.
7:47
Speaker 2: Maybe they just have a whole cage full of snails.
7:49
Speaker 1: Oh, and maybe it's like the floor has a.
7:51
Speaker 2: And it just drips down into a bucket or something.
7:55
Speaker 2: That's correct. I haven't thought of this. Forcing snail to
8:00
Speaker 2: release mucin through harsh treatment like dunking them in salt water.
8:03
Speaker 2: No way. That's very mean.
8:06
Speaker 1: This was probably taught by a lot of the... Forces
8:10
Speaker 1: in Vietnam. Some of this is illegal. Go back to it.
8:14
Speaker 1: This is considered waterboarding, I think. Snail mucin, a popular
8:17
Speaker 1: skincare ingredient, is collected from live snails through various methods,
8:22
Speaker 1: some more humane than others. Traditional methods involve forcing snails
8:26
Speaker 1: to release mucin through harsh treatment, like dunking them in
8:30
Speaker 1: salt water or chemicals.
8:31
Speaker 2: It's like killing a whole family just so someone can
8:33
Speaker 2: have smoother skin.
8:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. Many companies now use methods like gentle stimulation or
8:39
Speaker 1: allowing snails to naturally excrete mucin on mesh nets, ensuring
8:43
Speaker 1: their well-being.
8:44
Speaker 4: Wow.
8:44
Speaker 2: What's gentle stimulation for a snail, you know?
8:47
Speaker 1: I think just a little... A little fingering action on...
8:51
Speaker 1: Just petting?
8:52
Speaker 2: Petting.
8:52
Speaker 1: Heavy petting. Maybe listening to some... What's a popular Malaysian
8:58
Speaker 1: love musician?
9:00
Speaker 2: We don't really have that. You can use an American musician.
9:04
Speaker 1: I'll probably.
9:06
Speaker 2: Marvin Gaye, I guess. You can play some Marvin Gaye.
9:08
Speaker 1: Some Malarvan Gaye. Is that fair?
9:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
9:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we had some Malarvan Gaye. Yeah. And we
9:17
Speaker 1: played that, that would be beautiful. Let's get it on.
9:20
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:20
Speaker 1: And you're just touching that snail's back.
9:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. A few snails, not just one.
9:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
9:25
Speaker 2: You can't just foreplay with one snail. Yeah, that's weird.
9:29
Speaker 2: They move too slow.
9:29
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you got to get a little batch.
9:33
Speaker 2: It's like, you know how that chess movie where the
9:35
Speaker 2: one person is playing against 10 chess masters, whereas you
9:38
Speaker 2: against 10 snails.
9:39
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It's almost like one of those, it's like
9:43
Speaker 1: that thing where those things are dropping and you're catching them,
9:45
Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, yeah.
9:47
Speaker 2: I like it.
9:47
Speaker 1: Nigel, good to see you, man.
9:49
Speaker 2: Good to see you, too, man.
9:50
Speaker 1: Thank you for all of the entertainment, man. You definitely...
9:53
Speaker 1: I make too many videos, man.
9:54
Speaker 2: That's the life of a YouTube person, you know?
9:57
Speaker 1: It is, huh? Yeah.
9:58
Speaker 2: I got my start. I started to do stand-up 2010, 2011.
10:01
Speaker 2: You had a.
10:03
Speaker 1: Special that came out a few years ago, right?
10:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's released on Moment House. Yeah. Have
10:08
Speaker 2: you used that platform before? You just sell tickets, people
10:10
Speaker 2: buy it, and they watch it.
10:12
Speaker 1: Uh-uh.
10:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I'm going to whack it on my YouTube eventually.
10:14
Speaker 1: Moment House?
10:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
10:16
Speaker 1: Is it live performance on Moment House? Or is it
10:18
Speaker 1: you just. Tape it, put it up, and then there's
10:20
Speaker 1: a premiere.
10:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, something like that. I think Andrew Schultz did
10:23
Speaker 2: it here.
10:24
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. Yeah, that kind of thing. And you started,
10:26
Speaker 1: so were you born in Malaysia?
10:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I was born in Malaysia, and then I
10:30
Speaker 2: went to live there for 20 years of my life.
10:33
Speaker 2: Then I went to university. I went to Northwestern in
10:35
Speaker 2: Illinois near Chicago. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and then I moved
10:39
Speaker 2: to the UK for a few years, for eight years,
10:41
Speaker 2: and I'm back here in L.A.
10:43
Speaker 1: What are Malaysian? Because I don't know a ton about
10:45
Speaker 1: the Malay, right?
10:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
10:47
Speaker 1: Me neither, really. You don't?
10:49
Speaker 2: You know, you have so many different races there, you know?
10:52
Speaker 2: In Malaysia?
10:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:53
Speaker 2: There's Chinese Malaysian, which I'm that. Malay Malaysians and Indian Malaysians.
10:58
Speaker 2: And we don't really mix. We're pretty segregated, you know?
11:00
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah. So there's beef between what type of Malaysian
11:04
Speaker 1: you are?
11:04
Speaker 2: There's no beef. We just don't really care as much
11:07
Speaker 2: if you're not part of the group.
11:09
Speaker 1: Oh, I see. But it's very peaceful. It's very peaceful.
11:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:12
Speaker 1: So it's not violent, but it's still like, you just
11:15
Speaker 1: kind of stick with your tribe.
11:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. We try to venture out, but you know,
11:18
Speaker 2: sometimes it's hard to eat different things and there are
11:21
Speaker 2: limitations to what Malays can eat, you know?
11:24
Speaker 1: Oh, Malaysians can't eat everything?
11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Malay Malaysians are Muslim.
11:28
Speaker 1: They're Muslim?
11:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they can't eat pork, right? And also in
11:32
Speaker 2: Malaysia- Certain restaurants need to be halal certified for Malay
11:37
Speaker 2: people to eat in. If a Malay person is caught
11:40
Speaker 2: eating at a non halal restaurant, depending on where you are,
11:43
Speaker 2: it could be, you know, you could get into trouble basically. Yeah.
11:48
Speaker 2: So there's those little things, but we overall are pretty peaceful.
11:51
Speaker 2: And we like each other.
11:52
Speaker 1: You like each other. But every now and then, there's
11:54
Speaker 1: a little bit of Mongolian beef with each other.
11:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:58
Speaker 1: I feel that.
11:58
Speaker 2: I've had that. Yeah, yeah.
12:00
Speaker 1: It's okay. It's bad. American Chinese shit. It's travesty. It's
12:05
Speaker 1: something you fill your jaw with while you look at
12:07
Speaker 1: through Target.
12:07
Speaker 2: It's nice at an airport. You get an airport Panda Express.
12:12
Speaker 2: It's the best thing there.
12:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good. But it's a lot of sugar, though. Yeah,
12:15
Speaker 1: sugar is good. But sugar, yeah. You like sugar.
12:17
Speaker 2: Come on.
12:18
Speaker 1: I like it, but I just know it's secretly plotting
12:22
Speaker 1: against me. That's what I feel like.
12:23
Speaker 2: Really?
12:24
Speaker 1: Sugar is plotting against you? Well, I feel like it
12:26
Speaker 1: gets in your system and it knows it's going to win.
12:29
Speaker 1: Because it's like a deteriorant. Deteriorant. It deteriorates you. Yeah.
12:35
Speaker 2: Well, most things do, though. Most things that taste good.
12:38
Speaker 2: are deterrents, you know?
12:39
Speaker 1: Cholesterol, fats, butter, olive oil. Yeah. Even vagina, that'll ruin
12:45
Speaker 1: your life.
12:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It ruins your time, really. You're just
12:51
Speaker 2: chasing vagina all the time. I'm glad I'm out of
12:54
Speaker 2: that phase of my life now.
12:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I heard. I heard that you got married,
12:57
Speaker 1: you're married a couple years now.
12:59
Speaker 2: No, I'm engaged a couple years now, but I'm getting
13:02

14:00
Speaker 2: She was fine, but she just grew apart.
14:04
Speaker 1: It didn't fit.
14:05
Speaker 2: Well, I was really doing stand-up hardcore at the time,
14:08
Speaker 2: and it just takes a toll on your.
14:09
Speaker 1: Relationships, right?
14:11
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
14:11
Speaker 1: If you're doing stand-up, I think it's impossible, you know?
14:13
Speaker 1: Because also the hours that you're out, it's very like.
14:16
Speaker 2: And I had a day job, too. So I was
14:18
Speaker 2: like 9 to 5 at the day job. Then I
14:21
Speaker 2: was doing all this in the U.K., So after my
14:24
Speaker 2: day job finishes, I'll just take a long train up
14:26
Speaker 2: to Birmingham or something, the middle of the UK from London,
14:29
Speaker 2: two-hour train, do my set, come back, arrive home at one.
14:33
Speaker 2: All I see her is sleeping. She just sees me sleeping,
14:35
Speaker 2: I see her sleeping. And then seven years later, hey,
14:38
Speaker 2: we're not the same person anymore. Okay, who would have guessed?
14:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're awake.
14:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're awake. And I don't like you when we're awake.
14:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:48
Speaker 2: That's an issue with a lot of marriages, I think.
14:51
Speaker 2: Go to bed.
14:52
Speaker 1: I like you more when you're unconscious. In Malaysia, is
14:58
Speaker 1: it popular? And sorry, because we've never had a Malaysian guest.
15:01
Speaker 2: You should get Ronnie Chang next. He's Malaysian too.
15:04
Speaker 1: I've messaged about it. He's so funny. We got to
15:07
Speaker 1: do it. He's Malaysian?
15:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:08
Speaker 1: Oh, so some people are keeping secret then because I
15:11
Speaker 1: didn't know that. But I would love to see, in Malaysia,
15:16
Speaker 1: I just want to learn about a little bit of
15:18
Speaker 1: the tradition of the place. Okay, let's do it. So
15:20
Speaker 1: do you have to, is it arranged marriage or what
15:23
Speaker 1: is dating like there? No, it's not arranged at all.
15:25
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, you got to find someone. We got incels
15:28
Speaker 2: there too. You know, arranged marriages would be a great
15:30
Speaker 2: solution to the incel.
15:31
Speaker 1: Problem, wouldn't it? And when incels, you say, what do
15:33
Speaker 1: you mean?
15:34
Speaker 2: Incels? Like gamers or whatever? They can be incels, some
15:37
Speaker 2: of them. There's a whole movement, isn't there, on the
15:40
Speaker 2: Reddit people, the, what do you call it, blue pill,
15:42
Speaker 2: red pill, black pill, something pill. The incels who, they
15:46
Speaker 2: can't get laid and then they start hating on women,
15:49
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but no, no,
15:51
Speaker 2: in Malaysia, it's all, it's not arranged. You have to
15:53
Speaker 2: arrange it for yourself.
15:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, their gamer tag is like, these whores are ruining everything, 6,000
15:58
Speaker 1: or whatever.
15:58
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Thailand to sleep with some hoes,
16:01
Speaker 2: you know?
16:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, that kind of thing.
16:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we don't really have that either. That's why
16:05
Speaker 2: I'm saying in Malaysia, there's not much to do. In Thailand,
16:07
Speaker 2: there's beaches. There's the red light district. Bali, there's beaches
16:12
Speaker 2: and other places have other things. Vietnam has the beaches
16:18
Speaker 2: and hoes, really, in all of Asia, really, except for Malaysia.
16:21
Speaker 2: So we're a bit boring there.
16:23
Speaker 1: And why is there a different, do they outlaw that
16:25
Speaker 1: kind of stuff there? So they must have, because it
16:28
Speaker 1: seemed like you would just keep a stricter, yeah, why
16:31
Speaker 1: don't they have that prostitution and stuff like that? Or
16:34
Speaker 1: just put some people to say hoes, fun hoes, fun
16:37
Speaker 1: money hoes.
16:38
Speaker 2: It's probably the religion thing. It's majority Muslim in Malaysia.
16:41
Speaker 2: So maybe that's frowned upon a little bit more. I'm
16:44
Speaker 2: sure you can find some, maybe some like, sugar baby
16:48
Speaker 2: type arrangement right yeah like.
16:50
Speaker 1: Secret secret secret.
16:52
Speaker 2: Oh there's there's an app for that i think it's
16:54
Speaker 2: called sugar book sugar book yeah look it up it's
16:57
Speaker 2: a big app in asia and i know i know
17:01
Speaker 2: this app exists in malaysia so it's like a dating
17:03
Speaker 2: app let's see you know where romance meets finance there
17:06
Speaker 2: you go.
17:07
Speaker 1: Where romance meets finance oh definitely i mean What about
17:11
Speaker 1: $ 40 a week? It goes far, man. It does.
17:15
Speaker 2: The US dollar goes far in Asia.
17:17
Speaker 1: Dude, what if our podcast, we sponsored a couple of sugar,
17:22
Speaker 1: we booked some sugar.
17:24
Speaker 2: Let's book some sugar. It's a deterrent, you know? It is.
17:27
Speaker 1: It'll slowly claw away at you. Oh, definitely. I can
17:30
Speaker 1: see it ruining a lot of things.
17:32
Speaker 2: How many episodes of a pod you put out a
17:34
Speaker 2: week is going to get the number way down, man.
17:37
Speaker 1: But what if we book some sugar, right? Yeah. And
17:40
Speaker 1: we just support it. And every now and then they
17:41
Speaker 1: just check in. But they don't have to do anything sexual.
17:44
Speaker 1: We have them maybe get a good hobby. Yeah. Maybe
17:47
Speaker 1: help around the neighborhood, clean up, pick up trash or something.
17:50
Speaker 2: That would be nice. I'm sure they'll be down. This
17:53
Speaker 2: is safer than, you know, you know that the OnlyFans
17:56
Speaker 2: model who fly to Dubai and they get shat on. Yeah.
17:59
Speaker 2: You know, that sugar book is a safer alternative, you know.
18:03
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm a huge Sugar Book fan all of a sudden.
18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:06
Speaker 1: I think it's good. But I would love to look into, Nick,
18:08
Speaker 1: maybe the price of if we could sponsor a couple
18:12
Speaker 1: of good women sugar girls.
18:18
Speaker 2: I think a grand a month.
18:19
Speaker 1: Ooh, that's a lot.
18:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot.
18:22
Speaker 1: I mean, you said it goes far over there, dude.
18:24
Speaker 1: I'm talking 80, maybe 120 a month.
18:26
Speaker 2: Okay, you would get a different quality of woman for 80.
18:29
Speaker 1: But that's okay. 80 a week. But would it be
18:31
Speaker 1: great to sponsor that lady? Let her just say, hey,
18:34
Speaker 1: take the week off. Yeah. Go relax. Go for a
18:36
Speaker 1: run or something. Okay.
18:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be good.
18:39
Speaker 1: Sign up for something. That would be great.
18:41
Speaker 2: And we could support the infrastructure over there. Yeah.
18:44
Speaker 1: Is family big over there? Is that like a big thing?
18:46
Speaker 1: What's it like there that you notice that's different between
18:48
Speaker 1: Malaysia and U.S. or U.K. culture?
18:52
Speaker 2: I think it's really the difference between– Asia and the West, really.
18:57
Speaker 2: Family is big. People live with their parents and it's
19:00
Speaker 2: socially acceptable to do that. And then when the parents
19:03
Speaker 2: get old, we don't really send.
19:04
Speaker 1: Them to homes.
19:05
Speaker 2: We bring them into our own home instead of sending
19:08
Speaker 2: them to a nursing home.
19:10
Speaker 1: It's better, huh?
19:10
Speaker 2: It's nice, I think. Yeah. But what I like about
19:14
Speaker 2: the West is everybody is so confident and they have
19:18
Speaker 2: an opinion and they're not afraid to express it. And
19:20
Speaker 2: sometimes in Asia... because you are taught a little bit
19:23
Speaker 2: more just obey, obey, obey, you don't really have that
19:27
Speaker 2: confidence and that assertiveness. And sometimes that doesn't work well here.
19:31
Speaker 2: If you're an Asian person in the West and you
19:32
Speaker 2: have a corporate job and you just keep to yourself,
19:35
Speaker 2: you miss out on promotions because you're just not speaking
19:39
Speaker 2: enough and not bullshitting enough and not building that social
19:42
Speaker 2: relationship enough.
19:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. And do Asian people want to say more? Do
19:46
Speaker 1: they have a feeling inside of them where like, I
19:49
Speaker 1: want to speak up. but I don't think it's appropriate
19:51
Speaker 1: or is it I'm afraid or it's just not part
19:54
Speaker 1: of their capability, natural capability?
19:58
Speaker 2: I think it's all those things. I think it's cultural.
20:01
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm afraid. Why don't I just mind my
20:03
Speaker 2: own business? You know, put your head down and work hard.
20:06
Speaker 2: Sometimes that doesn't work out well, you know? You can't
20:08
Speaker 2: just put your head down. You gotta put your head
20:11
Speaker 2: up and look at the world and Talk some shit.
20:14
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, dude. That's what stand-up is, right? Yeah.
20:16
Speaker 2: Oh, you have your head down for a half hour,
20:18
Speaker 2: somebody will start fucking you around here, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:21
Speaker 1: It's a dangerous area. They would have your head down. Oh, yeah.
20:24
Speaker 1: Some freaking Narcan monk, he'll start freaking jacking you from
20:27
Speaker 1: the back over there, you know?
20:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
20:29
Speaker 1: So it's definitely, you got to have your head up, man. Yeah, yeah.
20:33
Speaker 1: Is there something do you think that Americans could do
20:36
Speaker 1: to better support Asian people? Like, ask more, like, is
20:40
Speaker 1: there something, like, You know what I'm saying? Like, cause
20:42
Speaker 1: sometimes there's never this communication about how cultures should interact
20:45
Speaker 1: and we're all just left to figure it out.
20:47
Speaker 2: You ask me, like I'm the leader of all the Asians.
20:50
Speaker 1: But you came. The door's been open for many moons.
20:54
Speaker 2: Anybody can come. I mean, just come legally. I hear
20:58
Speaker 2: they're cracking down on that a little bit. Just wipe
21:02
Speaker 2: your phone. Wipe your phone before you come.
21:06
Speaker 1: What can you do?
21:07
Speaker 2: Honestly, I enjoy living in LA because I feel like
21:11
Speaker 2: the Asian food here is probably some of the best
21:13
Speaker 2: in the world. Maybe New York is better.
21:15
Speaker 1: I don't know.
21:15
Speaker 2: But here, I just drive 20 minutes to San Gabriel
21:18
Speaker 2: Valley and that's all the Chinese and Taiwanese people and
21:21
Speaker 2: there's Koreatown a 10 minute drive from me then little
21:24
Speaker 2: Tokyo you just I like that just don't fuck with
21:27
Speaker 2: us let us do our thing and everybody's happy you
21:30
Speaker 2: know just enjoy just enjoy enjoy our food enjoy the
21:33
Speaker 2: food yeah it's great food yeah it's a lot of
21:35
Speaker 2: good stuff it's not like when I do the laugh
21:37
Speaker 2: factory they just don't let me on because I'm Asian
21:39
Speaker 2: so I feel like I get the no no no
21:42
Speaker 2: they don't do that I get the same opportunities I think.
21:44
Speaker 1: So unorganized over there it seems like I hate to
21:47
Speaker 1: say that but everybody's been saying it but They've been
21:51
Speaker 1: good to me. They've been good to you.
21:52
Speaker 2: I like the audiences there because it's like you get
21:55
Speaker 2: such a tourist crowd, right? So I feel like I'm
21:57
Speaker 2: playing to all of America, you know, West Coast, East Coast, Middle, everywhere,
22:02
Speaker 2: the South. And I think if a joke works there,
22:05
Speaker 2: you know, I can take it on the road with you.
22:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good point. I think one thing that
22:09
Speaker 1: makes it tough in there is the lighting, the way
22:11
Speaker 1: the lighting, like the whole room is kind of lit up.
22:13
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:13
Speaker 1: And so I think it creates an ambiance there sometimes
22:16
Speaker 1: where the audience is more involved in the show.
22:19
Speaker 2: That's true. You can see everyone. Right.
22:21
Speaker 1: And then they feel like they're supposed to be involved
22:23
Speaker 1: because they're kind of not protected from this, like, you know,
22:25
Speaker 1: because usually the audience is kind of in the dark. Yeah, yeah.
22:29
Speaker 2: I see that.
22:30
Speaker 1: And so Asian families, Malaysian families, a lot of times
22:33
Speaker 1: you'll live at home. Yeah, it's common. Yeah.
22:36
Speaker 2: More common than here. That's cool, man. And right now
22:39
Speaker 2: in LA, hopefully, you know, if things go well, I
22:41
Speaker 2: can buy a slightly bigger house with an ADU, then
22:44
Speaker 2: fly my mom over, you know, let her stay with
22:46
Speaker 2: us for a few months. Oh, like an ADU is
22:49
Speaker 2: like a what? Additional dwelling unit?
22:51
Speaker 1: Okay. So like a separate guest house. Like a casita
22:54
Speaker 1: or something. A casita. Yeah, the accessory dwelling unit. Accessory
22:58
Speaker 1: dwelling unit.
22:58
Speaker 2: Secondary residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as
23:01
Speaker 2: a primary residence. Yeah. Yeah.
23:03
Speaker 1: And essentially a smaller separate living space.
23:05
Speaker 2: So a smaller house for the mom and the mother-in-law
23:09
Speaker 2: with their own kitchen because Asian cooking can stink up
23:12
Speaker 2: a house. It's delicious, but during the cooking process, it smells.
23:16
Speaker 1: It's bad? It's bad.
23:17
Speaker 2: It smells bad, but it tastes good. Why?
23:19
Speaker 1: What are some of the, is it because it's a
23:21
Speaker 1: lot of, I'm guessing, fish maybe or cabbage? Shrimp paste. Ooh, God. Yeah.
23:25
Speaker 2: And then pepper paste. A lot of pork. You know
23:28
Speaker 2: how you cook bacon? The whole house smells like bacon. Yeah.
23:30
Speaker 2: A lot of pork, a lot of garlic. Shrimp paste,
23:33
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes fermented shrimp paste. Fish sauces.
23:38
Speaker 1: Why? It tastes good, man. It tastes good.
23:41
Speaker 2: It adds a different sort of flavor. It adds this
23:43
Speaker 2: thing called umami to your food.
23:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. Try it. Umami means what?
23:48
Speaker 2: Umami is like, you know how the tongue can taste
23:52
Speaker 2: like four flavors, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter? Umami is
23:55
Speaker 2: like the fifth flavor. It's a meaty savoriness.
24:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. Umami is one of the five basic taste sensations,
24:04
Speaker 1: along with a sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, and is
24:07
Speaker 1: often described as a savory or meaty flavor.
24:10
Speaker 2: Cheese has a lot of it. See?
24:12
Speaker 1: Cheese.
24:12
Speaker 2: So when you eat pizza, that's why it's so good,
24:15
Speaker 2: you know?
24:15
Speaker 1: It is perceived through taste receptors that respond to compounds
24:18
Speaker 1: like glutamate, inosinate, and guanylate, which are abundant in foods
24:26
Speaker 1: such as meat, cheese, tomatoes, and mushrooms.
24:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:30
Speaker 1: I'll bring you around some Asian restaurants.
24:32
Speaker 2: Food is my thing, you know? I do comedy about
24:34
Speaker 2: food now. Yeah, yeah.
24:35
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I know. I want to get into some
24:38
Speaker 1: of that. I want to ask you. I'm just trying
24:40
Speaker 1: to get a little bit more idea. Of Malaysia. Just
24:43
Speaker 1: of what it feels like to be in Malaysia because
24:44
Speaker 1: you don't hear a ton about it.
24:46
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:46
Speaker 1: And the biggest thing you heard about probably is the
24:48
Speaker 1: plane that you guys lost.
24:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
24:50
Speaker 2: It was still lost, man.
24:51
Speaker 1: Is it really? Still can't find it.
24:53
Speaker 2: Oh.
24:53
Speaker 1: It's crazy. What's the word over there? Bring that up.
24:55
Speaker 1: Malaysian 370. What's going on with it?
24:57
Speaker 2: I think. And the most, I've gone into a rabbit
25:00
Speaker 2: hole about this. And also, Kathleen Madigan, she's a comic here,
25:03
Speaker 2: and she has the best bit. If you want the
25:05
Speaker 2: best stand-up routine about Malaysian Airlines, go search Kathleen Madigan, MH370.
25:10
Speaker 2: But my theory is the pilot wanted to kill himself.
25:16
Speaker 2: And so he just, because of the way the plane swerved,
25:21
Speaker 2: the path the plane took, it swerved past his hometown first.
25:25
Speaker 2: before riding off into the Indian Ocean. So he just
25:27
Speaker 2: swerved past his hometown, just take one last peek. But
25:31
Speaker 2: by that point, all the passengers on the plane were
25:34
Speaker 2: already unconscious.
25:36
Speaker 1: Really close to the pressure?
25:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, he depressurized the plane. But then the cockpit, the
25:41
Speaker 2: pressure stays on for a little bit longer. So he
25:43
Speaker 2: was just taking one last peek at his hometown and
25:45
Speaker 2: then just driving off into the sunset and ocean. It's
25:48
Speaker 2: almost kind of, It's romantic. Don't give them any ideas, man.
25:52
Speaker 2: United Airlines don't need to hear this.
25:54
Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but it sounds a little
25:56
Speaker 1: bit romantic. Yeah, let's play one clip right here. What
25:59
Speaker 1: do we have? Yeah.
26:01
Speaker 3: A disturbing reason for the plane's disappearance. on and off
26:06
Speaker 3: search efforts have failed to locate the plane which disappeared
26:09
Speaker 3: with 239 people on board more than four years ago.
26:12
Speaker 3: 60 Minutes Australia brought together an international group of aviation
26:16
Speaker 3: experts who say that the plane's pilot crashed the flight intentionally.
26:22
Speaker 3: Joining me now to discuss the report is CBS News.
26:24
Speaker 1: Contributor and former chairman of the.
26:26
Speaker 2: National Transportation Safety Board.
26:28
Speaker 1: For sure.
26:29
Speaker 2: And it looks like he probably shorted the Malaysia Airlines.
26:32
Speaker 1: He definitely is, dude.
26:35
Speaker 3: First, the flight path that was reconstructed using military radar.
26:39
Speaker 3: What was suspicious about that?
26:41
Speaker 5: Well, the plan showed that he was going in and
26:45
Speaker 5: out of various countries between Thailand and Malaysia. One would
26:51
Speaker 5: have thought, based on that pattern, that someone would have
26:56
Speaker 5: sent up some military aircraft to look at them. But
27:00
Speaker 5: according to the television experts, they said he did this
27:04
Speaker 5: on purpose to evade the military radar.
27:08
Speaker 3: Well, one of the experts, yeah.
27:09
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of boring. Yeah, yeah.
27:11
Speaker 2: What do you expect, you know?
27:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you expect? And it's like people, like, something,
27:15
Speaker 1: it's like hide and go seek. They never found the guy,
27:17
Speaker 1: and people are just wondering where he is. We find, like,
27:19
Speaker 1: a part of a wing every two years. Ooh. You know,
27:22
Speaker 1: it's like a little, fun little treasure hunt.
27:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. It comes up. I keep track of this, man.
27:27
Speaker 2: This is my true crime.
27:28
Speaker 1: Oh, it is. You know?
27:29
Speaker 2: It's the only thing people know us for, and I
27:32
Speaker 2: love it.
27:32
Speaker 1: But also, in a way, it's almost beautiful. Like, a
27:34
Speaker 1: place so, like... It almost makes it mystical in a way. Malaysia?
27:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
27:40
Speaker 1: Oh, thanks.
27:41
Speaker 2: You know, the biggest thing that when my fiance, when
27:44
Speaker 2: she traveled to Malaysia for the first time, she's American, right?
27:46
Speaker 2: So the biggest thing she noticed is she told me
27:49
Speaker 2: she's never seen Muslim people who look Asian. I would
27:53
Speaker 2: say that is the biggest, not culture shock, but the
27:56
Speaker 2: biggest observation you'll get. They look like me, but they're Muslim.
27:59
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a surprise.
28:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Over in the US, you don't see none
28:02
Speaker 2: of that.
28:02
Speaker 1: No, you see nothing like that.
28:04
Speaker 4: Yeah.
28:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see a lot of people call Muslims slims
28:07
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's like a nickname. Slims?
28:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:10
Speaker 1: It's like a new, I don't want to say racial slur,
28:13
Speaker 1: but it is what it is.
28:14
Speaker 2: It sounds like it almost. One syllable, you know.
28:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at these slims, right? Yeah, look at these slims.
28:19
Speaker 1: But I like it. I like, you know, Muslims are
28:22
Speaker 1: definitely really interesting.
28:23
Speaker 2: The Muslims in Malaysia, you know, well, everybody in Malaysia,
28:26
Speaker 2: they're not slim though. We are like a fat country, man.
28:28
Speaker 1: Oh, it's fat country, huh?
28:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're catching up to you guys.
28:30
Speaker 1: Oh, fat. Yeah. And people die early or what? How
28:33
Speaker 1: long are people living over there in Malaysia? Bring up
28:35
Speaker 1: a website. Bring up a link. We love our sugary foods.
28:41
Speaker 1: We love our fatty foods. That's why. People fat dying.
28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:46
Speaker 1: Fat dying. That'd be a name of somebody I feel like.
28:49
Speaker 1: Fat dying.
28:50
Speaker 2: Fat dying. That's a Vietnamese name. P-H-A-T-D-A-E-N-G or something.
28:55
Speaker 1: Fat dying. Fat dying.
28:57
Speaker 2: Malaysia, 76.

Speaker 2: Our healthcare system's better, though. I'll tell you about it
29:06
Speaker 2: in a second. It might even out.
29:09
Speaker 1: 77. Okay, so one year longer?
29:10
Speaker 2: It's eight months longer. But still, enough to point and laugh,

31:43
Speaker 1: of the biggest myths over the years about the Malaysian flight?
31:46
Speaker 1: Was there something that was like, did people think it
31:49
Speaker 1: had gone to like a certain place or was it
31:51
Speaker 1: always just a missing plane? I'm trying to.
31:53
Speaker 2: I think there are lots of theories, right? And some
31:56
Speaker 2: people say they just entered the Bermuda Triangle and they're
32:00
Speaker 2: all still alive. But yeah, I think they're all dead.
32:03
Speaker 2: He just drove the plane until it ran out of
32:05
Speaker 2: gas and it just sunk into the ocean. Everybody was
32:09
Speaker 2: unconscious though, so they didn't have.
32:11
Speaker 1: That really scary moment, right? That's nice.
32:13
Speaker 2: I think it's like a less tragic situation than 9-11.
32:17
Speaker 2: You know, 9-11, they were all conscious. They knew they
32:19
Speaker 2: were flying into that building. Yeah.
32:21
Speaker 1: Right? And some people were probably trying to hurry up
32:23
Speaker 1: and get their luggage because I hate it when people
32:25
Speaker 1: get up on a plane early before it stops or whatever.
32:27
Speaker 5: Yeah.
32:29
Speaker 1: You think they were out ruffling through the overhead storage? Oh,
32:32
Speaker 1: some hurried ass, some business asshole was like, I got
32:35
Speaker 1: to get off first. It's like, bitch, we're fucking.
32:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're dead.
32:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just crazy. I hate it when people get
32:41
Speaker 1: up early before the plane is at the gate, you know? Yeah,
32:43
Speaker 1: and then the flight attendant has to tell you, please
32:45
Speaker 1: sit down. The seatbelt light's still on. Yeah. I know.
32:50
Speaker 2: Do you fly a lot when you tour around the U.S.? Oh, yeah.
32:54
Speaker 2: My conception, my concept of U.S. touring is a big-ass
32:58
Speaker 2: tour bus with your face on the side of it.
33:00
Speaker 1: Oh, no face.
33:01
Speaker 2: No face?
33:01
Speaker 1: No, I think that would be too ego. I think
33:04
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want my face, because I don't want people
33:05
Speaker 1: to know, like, I don't want people coming and looking
33:07
Speaker 1: for me. Or, you know, you already have at night,
33:10
Speaker 1: they'll have some. If you do a show in a town,
33:12
Speaker 1: sometimes we'll be in a tour bus. Yeah, yeah. And
33:15
Speaker 1: see if you bring up.
33:16
Speaker 2: You can put your face on a different bus.
33:18
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good idea.
33:19
Speaker 2: You ride a nondescript bus. You put your face on
33:23
Speaker 2: a different bus. Just like the LA City Transit bus.
33:25
Speaker 2: Just the airport's face just riding around.
33:28
Speaker 1: It's just like a Greyhound bus going through Mississippi. It's like,
33:32
Speaker 1: follow us to the next show. And you get there
33:34
Speaker 1: and it's just a bunch of people who just got
33:36
Speaker 1: out of prison. Getting off in Hammond, Louisiana.
33:40
Speaker 2: Jokoy has his face on a bus.
33:41
Speaker 1: Jokoy has his face on it.
33:43
Speaker 2: Have you had him on the pod? He's the other
33:45
Speaker 2: leader of Asian people.
33:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we definitely have had him on. Jokoi's a
33:49
Speaker 1: special guy. Special guy, Jokoi.
33:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:52
Speaker 1: Jokoi.
33:52
Speaker 2: Joseph.
33:53
Speaker 1: Joseph. Joseph, good guy. There we are right there with
33:57
Speaker 1: the tour bus. Yeah, we do like- Oh, nice. Yeah,
33:59
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's just the tour bus, but
34:01
Speaker 1: nothing- Very under the radar.
34:02
Speaker 2: Nothing really crazy on the inside or outside. We were
34:07
Speaker 2: on a pretty lean ship for the most part. Yeah,
34:09
Speaker 2: when I was on tour in the US, I just
34:11
Speaker 2: flew to every city.
34:12
Speaker 1: Did you?
34:13
Speaker 2: I didn't even go with an opener. On tour, I
34:15
Speaker 2: would open for myself. Uncle Roger was my opener.
34:18
Speaker 1: Oh, really?
34:18
Speaker 2: So I saved a bit of money that way.
34:20
Speaker 1: So Uncle Roger is your assumed character, kind of. It's
34:23
Speaker 1: another character, but it's just you.
34:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just me. I speak with a stronger accent,
34:29
Speaker 2: and I'm a little bit grumpier.
34:30
Speaker 1: But you're not wearing a mustache or a cape or anything.
34:33
Speaker 1: I wear an orange polo.
34:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
34:34
Speaker 2: That's it.
34:35
Speaker 1: That's Uncle Roger.
34:36
Speaker 2: And it just took off because it came, you know,
34:39
Speaker 2: if you want to see someone, Uncle Roger mostly complains
34:41
Speaker 2: about food, right?
34:42
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
34:42
Speaker 2: And mostly about Asian food, like fried rice and those things.
34:46
Speaker 2: And if you want to see someone complain about Asian food,
34:49
Speaker 2: it better be someone like extremely Asian, right? That adds
34:52
Speaker 2: the authenticity and the comedy of it.
34:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:54
Speaker 2: So that's why it took off the food stuff.
34:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
34:57
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's just me, the orange polo, stronger accent.
35:00
Speaker 2: You know, when I do Uncle Roger's portion in my tour,
35:04
Speaker 2: It's like my old material. I just let the character
35:06
Speaker 2: do it.
35:07
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
35:07
Speaker 2: People love it. That's me.
35:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. Orange polo.
35:10
Speaker 2: But, you know, the bar for character comedy on YouTube
35:13
Speaker 2: is very low.
35:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. You just put a shirt.
35:18
Speaker 2: You just put a shirt. People are like, holy shit,
35:19
Speaker 2: is he the same person? Adam Ray's Dr. Phil is
35:25
Speaker 2: higher effort than whatever this is.
35:29
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, dude. It just seemed like the very... the
35:31
Speaker 1: best guy at Home Depot, you know? Like a student.
35:34
Speaker 1: You look like a student at Home Depot. Oh, thank you.
35:36
Speaker 2: It's very great, man.
35:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, people love Uncle Roger and people love learning about
35:40
Speaker 1: different food through him. I think that's one thing. Did you,
35:44
Speaker 1: in Malaysia, I noticed when I was there, there's a
35:46
Speaker 1: big monkey issue, right?
35:47
Speaker 2: There's a big monkey. Depends where you go. In the city,
35:50
Speaker 2: that's fine. You probably went to this place called Batu Caves.
35:53
Speaker 2: It's like a cave, a Hindu cave. And then when
35:56
Speaker 2: you walk up the steps, there are monkeys who just
35:58
Speaker 2: steal food from you. Right.
36:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like a monkey issue. So what
36:03
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, do y'all eat... Have you ever had monkeys? No, no, no.
36:09
Speaker 1: I know some Asians do. Really? You know?
36:12
Speaker 2: I think maybe China's. I've heard, and I don't know
36:15
Speaker 2: how true this is, but in some places... I believe
36:18
Speaker 2: it too, man. They would just have a table with
36:20
Speaker 2: a hole in the middle, and then the monkey's head
36:23
Speaker 2: would be just coming through that hole, and they would
36:24
Speaker 2: just cut open the monkey's head and eat that monkey's
36:27
Speaker 2: brain as the monkey's still alive and just squiggling.
36:30
Speaker 1: Oh, really?
36:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
36:32
Speaker 2: I don't know how true that is, but I like
36:33
Speaker 2: to believe that we eat everything.
36:35
Speaker 1: I love that.
36:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:37
Speaker 1: I love thinking about Asian people.
36:38
Speaker 2: It's a bit inhumane though, right? It's next level to
36:42
Speaker 2: the snail mucin stuff.
36:43
Speaker 1: Right, but monkeys are, they deserve some of it. No,
36:47
Speaker 1: they're nice.
36:48
Speaker 2: They're nice. They're smart.
36:50
Speaker 1: They're smarter.
36:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
36:51
Speaker 1: Every now and then you see one who fucking You know,
36:53
Speaker 1: knows how to open bag of Dorito or something. Yeah,
36:55
Speaker 1: they can paint. But overall, they're fine. They're cute too, no?
36:59
Speaker 1: Put monkeys attacking woman for chips.
37:02
Speaker 2: Well, that's biased. You can also Google monkeys being cute
37:06
Speaker 2: and loving.
37:07
Speaker 1: Okay. Let's see both. We'll do a video for each.
37:10
Speaker 2: The woman who was mauled by a 200-pound chimp.
37:14
Speaker 1: Okay. That's not a monkey. That's like King Kong, you know?
37:18
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this lady probably had a little bit
37:20
Speaker 1: of chips on her. I watched some monkeys attack a
37:23
Speaker 1: sister for a sack of vinegar salt chips one time
37:27
Speaker 1: on a stairwell. Okay.
37:29
Speaker 2: I need to know more context. Okay.
37:31
Speaker 1: So go to his version now. What do you want
37:32
Speaker 1: to pull up? Monkeys being cute. Monkeys being cute?
37:38
Speaker 2: In Malaysia.
37:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do that. Okay, let's see that. Oh, that's
37:41
Speaker 1: a beautiful monkey. Ooh, look at him. It looks like
37:45
Speaker 1: it's in blackface. The monkey looks like it's in blackface.
37:48
Speaker 4: No.
37:48
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, we have a monkey problem. We have racist
37:51
Speaker 2: fucking monkeys.
37:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at this monkey, dude. Wow, bro. Look at this.
37:58
Speaker 1: Who is that? Oh, that's Justin Trudeau. Look, look. He's
38:06
Speaker 1: not running for office. He's swinging for office from his tail.
38:11
Speaker 1: But that is cute.
38:12
Speaker 2: Come on. He's not attacking no one.
38:14
Speaker 1: No, that's a prime minister.
38:15
Speaker 2: Of course not. Yeah, yeah.
38:18
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Look at this. Here we have. Come on.
38:21
Speaker 1: A beautiful monkey.
38:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's so tiny. That monkey can't beat anyone.
38:26
Speaker 1: Very romantic. What made you decide to go into a
38:29
Speaker 1: food direction on your YouTube, man? And some of my
38:33
Speaker 1: audience won't be familiar with Nigel or Uncle Roger, and
38:36
Speaker 1: that's okay, right? That's okay, yeah. The way you kind
38:39
Speaker 1: of effortlessly kind of just like, I think you seem,
38:43
Speaker 1: this is what it is to me, and this is
38:45
Speaker 1: very judgmental.
38:46
Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
38:47
Speaker 1: I'm used to seeing some Asian people be more probably
38:50
Speaker 1: quiet or not have maybe the similar sense of humor.
38:54
Speaker 1: And I think your humor seems very similar and relatable
38:58
Speaker 1: to just somebody like me.
39:00
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
39:01
Speaker 1: So, you know, and I don't mean it like it's
39:03
Speaker 1: a judgment because it's like, well, what does that matter?
39:05
Speaker 2: Right.
39:06
Speaker 1: But I think that's why it seems so like your humor.
39:10
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like maybe some Asian humor, I wouldn't
39:12
Speaker 1: get it. Or even if it's an Asian person with
39:15
Speaker 1: American humor, I wouldn't get it as much. But yeah,
39:17
Speaker 1: yours just seems so like effortless and comes across, man.
39:20
Speaker 2: I feel like every family has an Uncle Roger type character, right?
39:24
Speaker 2: This person who likes to talk shit. This know-it-all who
39:26
Speaker 2: likes to talk shit, loud mouth, person who's just roasting everyone.
39:29
Speaker 2: oh yeah I think every culture has someone like that
39:31
Speaker 2: maybe pedophile or none yeah no no pedophile okay keep
39:35
Speaker 2: it PG okay fine whatever man I don't know whatever
39:39
Speaker 2: I'm just asking what the question is do they have
39:42
Speaker 2: pedophiles in Malaysia though they have or no yeah of
39:44
Speaker 2: course okay yeah they start young sometimes they start young
39:48
Speaker 2: sometimes it's allowed too Oh, really? They're different cultures, I think.
39:52
Speaker 2: Sometimes they marry really young and.
39:55
Speaker 1: Like the Burmese or whatever? The Burmese.
39:58
Speaker 2: I don't know what specific Asian culture is. But I
40:00
Speaker 2: know of other people who are in Malaysia... who would
40:04
Speaker 2: marry a 14-year-old. It's rare. It's rare. And it's very
40:07
Speaker 2: frowned upon and illegal, I think. I don't know the
40:10
Speaker 2: Malaysian constitution that well. But yeah, every country has a
40:14
Speaker 2: pedophile problem, man. It's just that I think in the US,
40:16
Speaker 2: your pedophiles are a higher profile. There are successful pedophiles here.
40:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. It's like, wow, this guy's great at business.
40:23
Speaker 1: What's his secret? And his secret is petting kids or whatever.
40:27
Speaker 1: You're like, well, that's, you know, I'll just do a
40:30
Speaker 1: vitamin D supplement or whatever. You have a whole island.
40:32
Speaker 1: You know, you have Epstein. Yeah, we had Epstein. It's great.
40:36
Speaker 2: We don't have someone like that.
40:37
Speaker 1: Asia consent, Malaysia, 16. China, 14. Okay. Japan, 13. Whoa,
40:46
Speaker 1: hold on. Lower, Bob. That's insane, dude. India, we'll get
40:52
Speaker 1: back to 18. And South Korea is doing 16. Thailand, 15. Legal, 18. Effective.
41:01
Speaker 2: What does effective mean? Bahrain, 21.
41:08
Speaker 1: Wow. Those are old.
41:10
Speaker 2: Pedophiles need to move away from Bahrain. Bahrainian pedophiles need
41:13
Speaker 2: to move to Japan.
41:14
Speaker 1: Yeah. Blame it on Bahrain, brother. Wow.
41:20
Speaker 2: Uh yeah oh why why why talk about food so
41:23
Speaker 2: you got.
41:24
Speaker 1: Into food yes you you your channel seems like it
41:26
Speaker 1: kind of really started to focus more on food.
41:28
Speaker 2: Yeah well you know i grew up growing up i
41:30
Speaker 2: think most malaysians most asians love food and we have
41:33
Speaker 2: opinions a lot of opinions on food and where the
41:35
Speaker 2: best thing is and what what is the best fried
41:37
Speaker 2: rice for instance you know so during covid i i
41:41
Speaker 2: i remember i went full-time stand-up comedy september 2019 so
41:45
Speaker 2: six months before covid hit i was like finally i
41:47
Speaker 2: saved up enough money, I got enough paying gigs that
41:50
Speaker 2: I can make a living off of standup. And then
41:52
Speaker 2: COVID hit six months later, I lost all my work.
41:54
Speaker 2: So I had to be like, okay, I have all
41:56
Speaker 2: this time on my hands. What do I do? You know,
41:59
Speaker 2: I have this idea for this character in my head.
42:02
Speaker 2: And then one day somebody sent me that very first video,
42:04
Speaker 2: the BBC food, this woman making egg fried rice. And
42:08
Speaker 2: I was just watching and I was just like, this
42:10
Speaker 2: is horrendous.
42:10
Speaker 1: This is horrible.
42:12
Speaker 2: So let's put that character idea with this reaction video
42:15
Speaker 2: YouTube idea, and then things just took off from there.
42:19
Speaker 2: And I realized food is relatable to Asian people, to everyone, right?
42:24
Speaker 1: Fried rice. Everybody's had fried rice before.
42:25
Speaker 2: White, Asian, black. It doesn't matter what race you are.
42:28
Speaker 1: Everybody likes it.
42:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody likes it. Everybody has had it. Everybody has
42:31
Speaker 2: an opinion on it.
42:32
Speaker 1: Is there fried rice crispy treats or no?
42:35
Speaker 4: No.
42:36
Speaker 2: We can start one. That's a good idea. Fried rice
42:38
Speaker 2: crispy treats for a little packet.
42:42
Speaker 1: I like that, huh? Yeah, but it's too sweet, though.
42:44
Speaker 1: Is it?
42:45
Speaker 2: Maybe you can come up with a savory one. Yeah,
42:47
Speaker 2: that is the BBC food egg fried rice video. The
42:50
Speaker 2: one that I reacted to.
42:52
Speaker 1: And what is it?
42:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
42:54
Speaker 1: Who is that? Her name's Harsha Patel. We did a
42:56
Speaker 1: video together. Wow.
42:58
Speaker 2: She was just, you know, like a collateral damage. She
43:01
Speaker 2: was just a presenter. And the BBC gave her this recipe.
43:05
Speaker 1: Harsha? Her pronouns are heavy in her first name. Harsha. Yeah, yeah.
43:13
Speaker 2: Oh, wow. She does a lot of bizarre things, you know, like...
43:16
Speaker 2: I don't care.
43:17
Speaker 1: I would buy her a damn omelet somewhere.
43:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
43:21
Speaker 1: She's making the rice and... And so what is she?
43:24
Speaker 1: This is your... You know her?
43:27
Speaker 5: Yeah.
43:28
Speaker 2: After the video went viral and she was under a
43:30
Speaker 2: lot of... She got a lot of hate messages.
43:33
Speaker 1: About this video?
43:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
43:34
Speaker 1: For making bad rice. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is like
43:36
Speaker 1: a Meghan Markle effect or whatever.
43:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.
43:39
Speaker 1: Something.
43:40
Speaker 2: And then I realized my videos where I critique, when
43:44
Speaker 2: I roast celebrity chefs or I critique food, those go
43:47
Speaker 2: really viral. They do super well. And then after doing
43:50
Speaker 2: it for a few more years, I was like, okay,
43:52
Speaker 2: people trust me when I talk about food because I
43:54
Speaker 2: try to... keep it honest. If the food is good,
43:57
Speaker 2: I say it's good. If it's bad, I say it's bad.
43:59
Speaker 2: So that's why I think, I think I can make,
44:00
Speaker 2: you know, do some good business in the food world.
44:03
Speaker 2: That's why now I have, I have restaurants, I'm writing
44:06
Speaker 2: a cookbook, all that stuff. And it's fun, man. It's
44:09
Speaker 2: like fun. You know, I've done the, I love standup still.
44:12
Speaker 2: I just don't have the time to do it anymore.
44:14
Speaker 2: And I'm taking a break from it. because I realized
44:16
Speaker 2: I wasn't devoting enough time to it. At most I
44:19
Speaker 2: could do two sets a week and that's not enough.
44:22
Speaker 1: That's not enough.
44:23
Speaker 2: You feel so rusty. The first 10 minutes of your set,
44:26
Speaker 2: you're getting rid of that rust and you can't really
44:28
Speaker 2: get better. So maybe one day when things settle down
44:31
Speaker 2: a bit, I'll get back to stand up because I
44:33
Speaker 2: love it. It's just that instant reaction from people.
44:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's also, it's funny I think how if
44:39
Speaker 1: you try, like was it scary to try your first,
44:43
Speaker 1: that first kind of food video? It's interesting for an
44:46
Speaker 1: entertainer if you're in a certain world or space, right?
44:49
Speaker 1: It's interesting to then try something different. You're like, well,
44:53
Speaker 1: my friend does this and it's really neat. He does
44:55
Speaker 1: it super well. But if I do it, is mine
44:58
Speaker 1: going to be okay? Are people going to perceive it
45:00
Speaker 1: as okay, right? I think that's a big fear. Um,
45:04
Speaker 1: you know, you, I have friends that do great sketches.
45:06
Speaker 1: Like Shane Gillis does some really great sketches. Like his, uh, yeah.
45:11
Speaker 1: Gillian Keeves. Oh, I love that. Some of it. It's
45:16
Speaker 1: just so, so funny.
45:19
Speaker 2: And there's times where it's like, I'll think of a
45:20
Speaker 2: great sketch.
45:21
Speaker 1: I'll write it on my phone. And I'm like, well,
45:22
Speaker 1: if I did that, would it be okay? Would I
45:24
Speaker 1: be too, but it's like, I think you think like that, right?
45:27
Speaker 1: It's normal. It's normal.
45:28
Speaker 2: It's normal to think like that, but nobody cares, dude.
45:31
Speaker 1: Right. That's the truth. Right. But then I don't know
45:33
Speaker 1: if somebody saw somebody doing something like a bunch, you're like, oh,
45:37
Speaker 1: this isn't the avenue for them. But then if you're,
45:39
Speaker 1: if you have a good instinct for yourself, you would
45:42
Speaker 1: kind of notice that as well. Here's what I'm asking you.
45:44
Speaker 1: Was it hard to do that? Was it hard to
45:45
Speaker 1: just take that leap and be like, I'm going to
45:46
Speaker 1: try this different thing? Oh yeah.
45:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. You fear, I fear the judgment of every, because
45:52
Speaker 2: back then in the UK, nobody was doing YouTube, you know?
45:55
Speaker 2: It was just a weird thing for someone to do,
45:58
Speaker 2: a standup to do. People, other standups would be like, oh,
46:02
Speaker 2: he's just a YouTuber, you know? That kind of slur, right?
46:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, YouTuber. Yeah, YouTuber. No hard R on it.
46:10
Speaker 2: YouTuber.
46:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy, dude. YouTuber, please. Yeah, dude.
46:17
Speaker 2: Oh, have you heard that song? YouTubers can be gay too.
46:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you heard it? No, I haven't played it.
46:23
Speaker 1: You gotta hear this song. It's great.
46:24
Speaker 2: It's just like a, it's a summer bop that's really
46:27
Speaker 2: taken over. And then we'll get back to this.
46:30
Speaker 1: Feelings you don't know. This isolation is. Let me explain
46:36
Speaker 1: this to you. Niggas can be gay too. Hell yeah.
46:43
Speaker 2: What a banger.
46:45
Speaker 1: This is that banger, bro. We got to remix this
46:47
Speaker 1: shit for the summer, dude. Yeah.
46:50
Speaker 2: Very hard to sing along. That's in your car. You
46:53
Speaker 2: can say this in your car.
46:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just say this to your friend. He's not wrong, though.
47:01
Speaker 1: They can't be gay. I support this guy. Yeah. Hey,
47:06
Speaker 1: this guy has a vote for me, bro.
47:09
Speaker 2: It needs to be said. Yeah. There's too much toxic
47:12
Speaker 2: masculinity in that N-word community sometimes.
47:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
47:15
Speaker 2: You got to let the air out the tire a
47:17
Speaker 2: little bit.
47:19
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, boy. Sometimes the best seasoning is
47:22
Speaker 1: a little bit of zest.
47:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
47:24
Speaker 1: You know? Who likes that zesty barbecue? They snuck it
47:28
Speaker 1: in on us. They snuck it in on us with
47:30
Speaker 1: that zesty barbecue. But let's go back to what you
47:34
Speaker 1: were saying. Sorry. Anytime I get a chance, I love
47:37
Speaker 1: this artist, Eves. And so I just want to be
47:40
Speaker 1: able to support him and put out a song that
47:42
Speaker 1: I think is a banger and has not gotten the
47:45
Speaker 1: vibes it should have gotten so far. And it just
47:49
Speaker 1: needs to be resurrected because it's been about eight years
47:50
Speaker 1: since that song came out. What is... I wonder, in
47:55
Speaker 1: Asian culture even, because Asian culture to me, right, and
47:58
Speaker 1: I know I relate things to culture a lot, but
48:01
Speaker 1: I think it's played a big role in my life,
48:03
Speaker 1: I think, somehow. But Asian people seem more reserved overall, right?
48:08
Speaker 2: Yes.
48:08
Speaker 1: We kind of talked about that.
48:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
48:09
Speaker 1: So is that even scarier to put yourself out there
48:13
Speaker 1: as an Asian, you think, than it would be in
48:15
Speaker 1: other cultures where it's more boisterous, you know?
48:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. Never thought about this. I think it would be,
48:20
Speaker 2: you know? In the US, I think people here like
48:24
Speaker 2: it when you're being creative. At least they're supportive, you know?
48:27
Speaker 1: Like, you go, you do you. Yeah, yeah.
48:29
Speaker 2: People are more positive here.
48:30
Speaker 1: You can be gay too, man, you know?
48:33
Speaker 2: If you try to put that song in Malaysia, Asians
48:36
Speaker 2: can be gay too, that's not going to go far.
48:38
Speaker 2: Come on, dude. I think in some countries that would
48:44
Speaker 2: be illegal as well. Oh, yeah.
48:45
Speaker 1: Asians can be gay too.
48:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. Muslims can be gay too. Dude, that song needs
48:52
Speaker 2: a remake in every culture. Yeah, so I just wondered
48:56
Speaker 2: if it was even scarier and what, like, I guess
48:59
Speaker 2: what got you that, what made you kind of brave
49:01
Speaker 2: enough to take that leap? Because in my life, I've
49:03
Speaker 2: noticed that the toughest thing is just that first step
49:06
Speaker 2: every time. Well, I went to university here and that helped.
49:09
Speaker 2: I went to Northwestern and it's... You know, I was
49:12
Speaker 2: very lucky I got a scholarship because it's an expensive school.
49:15
Speaker 2: But a lot of people who go there are like
49:17
Speaker 2: very upper middle class, mostly white middle class.
49:20
Speaker 3: Kids.
49:20
Speaker 1: They're all so confident.
49:22
Speaker 2: And even though they have the exact wrong answer, they're
49:26
Speaker 2: still like just saying it with their chest.
49:30
Speaker 1: You're talking about being a Kappa Sig, dude, I think.
49:33
Speaker 2: Something like that. I wasn't very popular with the frat people.
49:38
Speaker 2: They have their own culture, right? When you talk about culture, frat,
49:41
Speaker 2: it's his own culture.
49:42
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They like to vomit on each other until
49:44
Speaker 1: somebody's secretly gay.
49:45
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, dude?
49:46
Speaker 1: That's the type shit I'm into. Type shit, boy. Shout
49:49
Speaker 1: out Pikes. Pill gang.
49:51
Speaker 2: Can you still do those things? The hazing rituals. It's
49:54
Speaker 2: just sexual assault, but on your friends.
49:58
Speaker 1: I didn't know vomit could be a lubricant, but hey.
50:02
Speaker 1: Here's another bush light, Ricky.
50:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just so, and I see them just bullshit
50:08
Speaker 2: their way through university. I was like, I need some
50:11
Speaker 2: of that. I need some of that white male confidence.
50:14
Speaker 2: Not too much. You have too much, you become annoying
50:17
Speaker 2: and entitled, right?
50:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. 20% of it, just a little bit. Not too much. Yeah,
50:21
Speaker 1: you don't want to turn into Chet Hanks or whatever.
50:23
Speaker 2: He went to our school. Did he? Northwestern, yeah.
50:25
Speaker 1: Let's go. Nice, man.
50:27
Speaker 2: He came to see it. I was in a black
50:28
Speaker 2: sketch comedy group back in university. Chet Hanks and Tom
50:32
Speaker 2: Hanks were at our show once. And Rita Wilson, Tom's wife.
50:35
Speaker 1: And they all came to your show?
50:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, they came to the show. It was me and
50:37
Speaker 2: a group of people. Black folks? Yeah, mostly black folks.
50:41
Speaker 2: They always need one Asian guy and one white person.
50:43
Speaker 2: So that was a token. He was a token.
50:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.
50:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. We got the pass to say the N-word in
50:48
Speaker 2: certain sketches.
50:49
Speaker 5: You did?
50:49
Speaker 2: It was cool, yeah.
50:50
Speaker 1: Oh, wow. They're doing that at Northwestern? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
50:53
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. That's what the N stands for, Northwestern, dude.
50:57
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. That's what we need more of. Dude,
51:00
Speaker 1: I've said this for years, and not for years, but
51:03
Speaker 1: I've said this for almost four months. If you auctioned
51:07
Speaker 1: off the N-word, say somebody's going to say it, right?
51:10
Speaker 1: Like tonight, Uncle Roger's going to drop the N-bomb at
51:12
Speaker 1: 11 p.m., right? But you auction it off. You say,
51:15
Speaker 1: I'm going to donate money to watch the stream. I'm
51:18
Speaker 1: going to pay. They say it, and the money goes
51:20
Speaker 1: towards a black organization. Yeah.
51:23
Speaker 2: I think that would work. I think that's a good idea. Yeah.
51:26
Speaker 2: But do you have limitations in how they say it?
51:30
Speaker 1: No, I think they just get, they have to say
51:31
Speaker 1: it within three or four minutes. So they could do
51:33
Speaker 1: like a little bit of a dance ensemble and then
51:35
Speaker 1: say it at the end. Like da-da-da-da-da-da. Hard R or
51:40
Speaker 1: no hard R? I think it's up to them and
51:41
Speaker 1: I think it's at what price level you pay. Like
51:44
Speaker 1: say Angelina Jolie is going to drop that thing, right? Okay.
51:47
Speaker 3: I mean.
51:48
Speaker 1: I would tune in to watch that.
51:50
Speaker 2: I think more people will like that than that fucking
51:52
Speaker 2: Imagine song that they did a few years ago.
51:55
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, imagine words. That's what I'm saying, dude.
52:00
Speaker 1: That's what they need to do. So I'm just saying,
52:01
Speaker 1: because people are always talking about reparations, this, reparations, that.
52:04
Speaker 1: But you're out here policing people for the N-word. Organize.
52:08
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. And make some money for your
52:10
Speaker 1: community by auctioning it off. People are already saying it.
52:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, for free.
52:16
Speaker 1: That's not a.
52:18
Speaker 2: Problem.
52:18
Speaker 1: Dude, I love this. This is like a United Nations meeting, dude.
52:21
Speaker 1: Let's start a Twitch stream, okay?
52:25
Speaker 2: And tonight.
52:27
Speaker 1: Who would be the best that you would love to
52:29
Speaker 1: hear say the N-word? And let's be honest, and this
52:30
Speaker 1: isn't a racial thing. This is just about vernacular and
52:33
Speaker 1: raising money for a community.
52:34
Speaker 2: I want to see Trevor Wallace say the N-word.
52:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he does not say it.
52:39
Speaker 2: But he looks like he wants to say it sometimes.
52:41
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, if you tickle him? Yeah. I
52:45
Speaker 1: bet he says it in his sleep. This is sleep talking. Sorry, Trevor.
52:50
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. He puts the N in Ambien, dude. You
52:52
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about?
52:54
Speaker 1: What's up, Kyle? Dude, that would be so great.
53:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to see that.
53:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love to see Trevor Wallace. And then
53:02
Speaker 1: who's someone that's older that I would love to see
53:04
Speaker 1: say it? Someone who's probably like in a coma or something,
53:07
Speaker 1: but if you could get them to whisper it or
53:08
Speaker 1: something for like an expensive stream. I'm talking like about
53:12
Speaker 1: a $ 13, $ 14 stream. Who's somebody? Look up older people
53:16
Speaker 1: in comas, celebrities, or... People on there struggling, something like that.
53:21
Speaker 2: Old people who are struggling.
53:23
Speaker 1: Put almost RIP you can put on there. Ooh, Clint Eastwood. Oh,
53:27
Speaker 1: that would be a legend. He did it for free.
53:30
Speaker 1: That would be legendary. He says it already. Yeah, he
53:33
Speaker 1: did it for free. There's like three movies about him
53:37
Speaker 1: almost saying it, I think. Oh, Buzz Aldrin, definitely, dude. Yeah.
53:43
Speaker 2: Bro, is he the guy who went to the moon? Yeah,
53:45
Speaker 2: you know if you're out in space, you got to
53:47
Speaker 2: yell it out there once. Yeah, nobody can hear it.
53:50
Speaker 2: Only Houston can hear it. We got a problem. Houston,
53:54
Speaker 2: we have a problem.
53:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Wall, baby. I'm the people's champ. We got
53:59
Speaker 1: a problem, Houston. Buzz is racist. Really racist. You don't
54:04
Speaker 1: think a white guy named Buzz was driving inbounds? After
54:08
Speaker 1: a few whiskeys.
54:09
Speaker 2: Oh, for sure, dude. After a few whiskeys and fake
54:13
Speaker 2: trips to the moon, you don't think he's driving a
54:15
Speaker 2: fucking N-bomb? First of all, if you send me to
54:17
Speaker 2: a fake moon and drug me up and send me
54:19
Speaker 2: to a fake moon, I get one N-bomb, man. Yeah.
54:22
Speaker 1: He could open up for Angelina Jolie. But it's just
54:24
Speaker 1: good to think about how you can raise money.
54:26
Speaker 2: And that's where I'm at.
54:27
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, are we raising money or not? Yeah.
54:31
Speaker 2: I wish we had such a cool, like, racial slur
54:33
Speaker 2: for Asian people. You know, we got chink, but it's
54:37
Speaker 2: nowhere near the cultural coolness.
54:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to think of chop dogs would be good.
54:43
Speaker 1: Chop dogs. But that's kind of fun.
54:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny. That's funny to say.
54:47
Speaker 1: Look at my chop dogs right here. Yeah, look at
54:49
Speaker 1: best Asian racial slurs if you can. Sorry.
54:54
Speaker 2: That's probably on X, not on YouTube. Best Asian slurs.
54:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, at Elon. But if you can, we're going to need...
55:01
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Grok, do you know if these slurs are
55:04
Speaker 1: definitely Asian? Let's just look up a couple. I don't
55:07
Speaker 1: want to get crazy. Yeah.
55:09
Speaker 2: Have you had Elon on the pod?
55:10
Speaker 1: I have not.
55:13
Speaker 2: Mama-san, mongoloid. I thought that was for, like, Down syndrome people.
55:18
Speaker 1: Not for Asians. That's just redneck people who don't know
55:21
Speaker 1: how to say... Mongolia.
55:22
Speaker 2: Mongolia, yeah.
55:24
Speaker 1: Now we have some mongoloid beef. Look, I ate so
55:30
Speaker 1: much of it, I can't even fucking read that well anymore.
55:33
Speaker 2: My forehead got bigger after eating some mongoloid beef. My
55:36
Speaker 2: eyes got sunken in.
55:37
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. We got to get out of here, dude. Dude,
55:42
Speaker 1: you know what you need to do is do a
55:44
Speaker 1: show with my friends over there in Australia when you go.
55:47
Speaker 1: Which one? Sean and Marley.
55:50
Speaker 2: Oh, these guys?
55:51
Speaker 5: Yeah.
55:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've done some reactions to chefs with. Down syndrome,
55:57
Speaker 2: and they're great.
55:58
Speaker 1: They can cook, man. These guys are the best. One
55:59
Speaker 1: of them doesn't have Down syndrome. One of them does.
56:01
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure. But you go to their home.
56:05
Speaker 1: The greatest experience I had in Australia was spending time
56:07
Speaker 1: with these guys at their home.
56:08
Speaker 2: Really? You went to their homes? Yes.
56:11
Speaker 1: And you pull up, dude, it was just unbelievable. But
56:13
Speaker 1: that would be an amazing crossover. Oh, that's you.
56:16
Speaker 2: Oh, nice. And they would love to have you there, man.
56:18
Speaker 2: I've worked with Down syndrome kids before. I used to
56:20
Speaker 2: volunteer at a Down syndrome factory or whatever. That's just
56:24
Speaker 2: an Asian.
56:25
Speaker 1: And that's a joke. That's because a lot of this
56:27
Speaker 1: is in factory work. And I didn't think it was funny. Yeah,
56:30
Speaker 1: the most joyful people. Just happy. Oh, for sure. Dude,
56:33
Speaker 1: you tickle them, they can't even feel it because they're
56:34
Speaker 1: already feeling that good. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.
56:38
Speaker 2: Is that true?
56:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. They're already feeling at a level of being tickled.
56:41
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that. How did you find out
56:44
Speaker 2: about that fact?
56:45
Speaker 1: Oh, that's easy one.
56:47
Speaker 2: Is that a grok question as well?
56:49
Speaker 1: That's grok.
56:49
Speaker 2: Do Down syndrome people feel tickles? I'm not putting that
56:55
Speaker 2: in there. You're going to jail, dude. You're definitely going
56:59
Speaker 2: to jail. Did Rocket Money cancel a subscription for you?
57:04

59:31
Speaker 2: That was a Middle East trip, man. I was watching
59:34
Speaker 2: the clip of you doing that show. That must be
59:36
Speaker 2: a tough crowd, but you did good.
59:38
Speaker 1: Oh, it's nice of you to say that. You being
59:41
Speaker 1: very nice. That show was hard. I'll tell you what happened.
59:44
Speaker 1: So they weren't supposed to be recording the show. That
59:46
Speaker 1: was part of the agreement was there would be no recording.
59:49
Speaker 1: And I get out there, and then there's 20 news cameras. Oh, shit.
59:54
Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
59:55
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, well, what do I do now?
59:56
Speaker 1: Like I, you know, I can't just do all my
59:58
Speaker 1: material because then it'll just be out there. Right. It's like,
1:00:01
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to maybe do a special at some point. And, um,
1:00:05
Speaker 1: and then, so that was a nice.
1:00:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: Those are Thobes, right? Okay.
1:00:09
Speaker 2: So that's Qatar, right?
1:00:12
Speaker 1: Qatar.
1:00:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:00:12
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:00:13
Speaker 1: And it was so cool, man. But yeah, so I
1:00:16
Speaker 1: get out there and then there's an audience in front
1:00:18
Speaker 1: of me, behind me and to this side of me
1:00:20
Speaker 1: and half of each one of them can't speak English.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: They still laughed.
1:00:26
Speaker 2: I heard laughs.
1:00:26
Speaker 1: I heard applause breaks. People, I think a lot of that.
1:00:28
Speaker 2: They made fun of the Navy.
1:00:29
Speaker 1: They loved it. Oh, yeah. That part was, the best
1:00:33
Speaker 1: part was calling them Ku Klux Sandsmen. That was my favorite.
1:00:36
Speaker 1: That was the only thing. And at that point, I
1:00:38
Speaker 1: was like, at least, if anything, they flew somebody over
1:00:42
Speaker 1: here to say that. Yeah. You know?
1:00:45
Speaker 2: That must be a tough crowd. It feels like a
1:00:46
Speaker 2: corporate crowd, but tougher. Well, I just didn't expect the camera.
1:00:50
Speaker 2: So suddenly everything has to change. You're like, what do
1:00:53
Speaker 2: I do now? I can't, I, you know, and so
1:00:56
Speaker 2: it was just like this interesting mix. But then I
1:00:58
Speaker 2: also like, before I went out there, I was like
1:01:01
Speaker 2: asking God, I was like, just don't make it about me.
1:01:03
Speaker 2: Let me just try and do my best. Like, you know,
1:01:05
Speaker 2: so I, and then I realized it's just, you're over
1:01:07
Speaker 2: there to have fun. So we stayed after and took
1:01:09
Speaker 2: a ton of photos and it was cool, man, just
1:01:12
Speaker 2: to be on the base and see like, I've done
1:01:15
Speaker 2: some military tours in the past, but just to be
1:01:17
Speaker 2: there and just see what people– just what people are
1:01:21
Speaker 2: living like over there and what the environment is like
1:01:23
Speaker 2: over there.
1:01:23
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then we got to drive across town, and
1:01:27
Speaker 1: all the buildings have– bring up like a basic– or
1:01:31
Speaker 1: what's it called? Common structure– structuring in Qatar. All of
1:01:36
Speaker 1: their stuff have like the castle, like you know that
1:01:38
Speaker 1: like castles are kind of like that on the top
1:01:40
Speaker 1: of them. Let me see. I don't fully understand. Like,
1:01:44
Speaker 1: you know the rook when you're playing? The rook is
1:01:46
Speaker 1: a castle. Yeah, the rook is the castle. So it
1:01:48
Speaker 1: has the castle top. You know how the top of
1:01:50
Speaker 1: the castle is like that?
1:01:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: All of their buildings are like that. Oh, really? Wow.
1:01:54
Speaker 1: So you'll be driving by a place, and you're like, oh,
1:01:57
Speaker 1: my God, is that a palace? And they're like, that's
1:01:59
Speaker 1: a KFC, dude. Every building there has the castling tops.
1:02:05
Speaker 1: And it's all very uniform, and there's nothing out of place.
1:02:08
Speaker 1: There's not a tree out of place. There's not. a
1:02:11
Speaker 1: curve of a sidewalk out of place. Nothing's on. It's like, wow,
1:02:15
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Um, they have a lot of money because
1:02:20
Speaker 1: everybody there gets subsidized from the government. If you're a
1:02:23
Speaker 1: Qatari citizen.
1:02:25
Speaker 2: Yeah. But it's impossible to be a Qatari citizen, isn't it? Right.
1:02:27
Speaker 1: It only travels through the mail. So you can't just, uh,
1:02:31
Speaker 1: and you can't just have a baby on the land
1:02:33
Speaker 1: and it's a citizen.
1:02:34
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
1:02:35
Speaker 2: Can you be gay and marry a male and get
1:02:37
Speaker 2: it that way?
1:02:37
Speaker 1: Let's see. That's a great question because you always hear
1:02:39
Speaker 1: that you can't be gay there or whatever. And it's funny.
1:02:43
Speaker 1: They had the secret service there and I kept going
1:02:45
Speaker 1: up to them. I'm like, what's your secret? If you're gay,
1:02:48
Speaker 1: just say if you're gay. What's your secret? You wore
1:02:51
Speaker 1: your mom's underpants. Like, what is it? And every now
1:02:54
Speaker 1: and then one would slightly show me a gun. Just like.
1:03:00
Speaker 2: And then that's when I would listen to N-Words Can
1:03:02
Speaker 2: Be Gay, too. Just play that in the ears.
1:03:08
Speaker 1: Pathways to Qatari citizenship. Citizenship is automatically granted anyone born
1:03:11
Speaker 1: to a Qatari father regardless of birthplace. Oh, interesting. Children
1:03:16
Speaker 1: of Qatari mothers and non-Qatari fathers may apply for citizenship,
1:03:19
Speaker 1: but only under strict conditions are not guaranteed citizenship. Foreigners
1:03:25
Speaker 1: can apply for citizenship after at least 25 consecutive years
1:03:28
Speaker 1: of lawful residence.
1:03:29
Speaker 4: Wow.
1:03:29
Speaker 2: Wow. with no more than two months spent outside the
1:03:32
Speaker 2: country per year.
1:03:34
Speaker 1: Oh my God, with no more than two months spent
1:03:36
Speaker 1: outside the country per year. Whereas in America, you could
1:03:38
Speaker 1: hang your lower half over a fence and drop something
1:03:41
Speaker 1: over here, and it's American.
1:03:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:03:43
Speaker 1: Which is kind of cool, actually.
1:03:45
Speaker 2: I think there's that golden visa thing in America now, right?
1:03:49
Speaker 2: $ 5 million or something?
1:03:51
Speaker 1: They're giving that away. I think it's where America's got citizenship.
1:03:54
Speaker 1: I think Howie Mandel is one of the hosts of it.
1:03:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:03:56
Speaker 1: Dual citizenship is not permitted. Applicants must renounce their previous
1:04:00
Speaker 1: citizenship upon naturalization.
1:04:02
Speaker 2: I think that's important. So you can't be gay. Oh, wait.
1:04:05
Speaker 2: Legal status of same-sex marriage.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: Same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships are not recognized
1:04:11
Speaker 1: or legal in Qatar. Qatari law influenced by traditional Islamic
1:04:16
Speaker 1: principles criminalizes same-sex sexual activity and does not recognize any
1:04:21
Speaker 1: legal status for same-sex couples. Cohabitation outside of heterosexual marriage
1:04:25
Speaker 1: is also illegal. Wow.
1:04:27
Speaker 2: So there's no way for us to be Qatari citizens.
1:04:32
Speaker 2: In our next life, I believe in reincarnation.
1:04:35
Speaker 1: I'll meet you there, brother.
1:04:36
Speaker 2: See you there, man.
1:04:38
Speaker 1: Play our song. What is the.
1:04:49
Speaker 1: What's the improper way to cook rice just for whites
1:04:53
Speaker 1: and listeners of this?
1:04:54
Speaker 2: That's what I built my whole career off of. Is
1:04:56
Speaker 2: it really?
1:04:56
Speaker 1: I think the proper way is just get a rice cooker. Yeah.
1:05:00
Speaker 2: You have one of those?
1:05:02
Speaker 1: No, I lived with an Asian girl when I first
1:05:03
Speaker 1: moved to Los Angeles.
1:05:05
Speaker 2: She needs to educate you on that stuff, man.
1:05:07
Speaker 1: Oh, we couldn't even afford heat. Sometimes we'd have her
1:05:10
Speaker 1: turn that on in our room for a little while. Oh, shit.
1:05:13
Speaker 2: But now things are different now, right? You can afford
1:05:14
Speaker 2: a rice cooker now.
1:05:15
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I can have a rice cooker in each room.
1:05:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. You can just be making rice. You can have
1:05:21
Speaker 2: an Asian in each room making rice for you. That's
1:05:23
Speaker 2: how much you can afford.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: Oh, I would love that. A little cinnamon Asian. Get
1:05:26
Speaker 1: the sugar book person. Yeah. $ 80 a week.
1:05:28
Speaker 2: Just come make rice for me, girl. But a rice
1:05:32
Speaker 2: cooker is great because it just takes care of everything
1:05:34
Speaker 2: for you. And when it's done, it keeps it warm.
1:05:36
Speaker 2: So you can just press play, go out, do your thing,
1:05:39
Speaker 2: come back, rice is ready.
1:05:40
Speaker 1: That's it. And it smells good. It's perfect. So doing
1:05:44
Speaker 1: anything crazy with rice where you're boiling all that, it's
1:05:46
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. You can just do a rice cooker easy.
1:05:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, because every time in the West, okay, here's the difference.
1:05:52
Speaker 2: In Asia, you ask someone how to make rice, they're like,
1:05:54
Speaker 2: rice cooker, the story's over. Over here, I asked someone
1:05:57
Speaker 2: how to make rice. They give you this long mathematical
1:06:00
Speaker 2: equation with science and how many cups of water to
1:06:04
Speaker 2: one to three ratio of rice to water is a
1:06:07
Speaker 2: whole science lab Breaking Bad project.
1:06:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like Andrew Huberman making rice.
1:06:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't need that. We don't need a whole
1:06:13
Speaker 2: podcast to make one bowl of rice.
1:06:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:06:16
Speaker 2: So I recommend everybody just get a rice cooker. Make
1:06:19
Speaker 2: life easy for yourself.
1:06:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, make it simple. Just do that. Do you cook
1:06:23
Speaker 1: a lot at home? I only eat two things, honestly.
1:06:27
Speaker 1: At home.
1:06:29
Speaker 2: Smoothie.
1:06:30
Speaker 1: Okay. I eat one smoothie that has blueberries, spinaches, walnut. Eating, though.
1:06:38
Speaker 2: That's not eating.
1:06:38
Speaker 1: Protein powder. Okay.
1:06:41
Speaker 2: And food.
1:06:42
Speaker 1: Lactose-free milk. A little bit of cinnamon. Half teaspoon of
1:06:46
Speaker 1: Stamets mushroom powder. Some Amra.
1:06:50
Speaker 3: Amra?
1:06:51
Speaker 1: Colostrum. What else?
1:06:54
Speaker 2: Oh.
1:06:54
Speaker 1: Half a teaspoon of algae, sea algae powder. That's hot.
1:06:59
Speaker 1: Fine grain. Fine grain. I don't like that choppy shit.
1:07:02
Speaker 2: What's colostrum?
1:07:03
Speaker 5: Armor?
1:07:04
Speaker 1: It's something that's in baby milk.
1:07:06
Speaker 2: Is that placenta?
1:07:07
Speaker 1: Oh, it's something in baby milk. Oh, okay.
1:07:10
Speaker 2: Is it good for you?
1:07:11
Speaker 1: I mean, was baby milk good for you? Probably. I
1:07:14
Speaker 1: don't remember now. Oh, you imagine that? Yeah.
1:07:16
Speaker 2: I need to ask my mom. Was I healthier when
1:07:19
Speaker 2: I was sucking on your tit?
1:07:20
Speaker 1: I'm sure I was. Dude, look at me now.
1:07:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:07:23
Speaker 1: I'm fucking troubled. I'm fucking spray tanning my back because
1:07:26
Speaker 1: I'm losing pigment. God damn, yeah.
1:07:28
Speaker 2: Just getting whiter and whiter.
1:07:29
Speaker 1: I love that damn baby milk, titty milk. Colostrum.
1:07:32
Speaker 2: That looks like an Air One thing, doesn't it?
1:07:35
Speaker 1: They started dealing. I think we actually do. Honestly, I
1:07:38
Speaker 1: think we even do some ads for them. So I
1:07:40
Speaker 1: mix that together in a blender. That's my smoothie. That's
1:07:42
Speaker 1: what I have every time. And then other than that,
1:07:44
Speaker 1: sometimes at night, about 45 minutes before bed, I'll make
1:07:47
Speaker 1: myself a ground beef quesadilla. Okay.
1:07:52
Speaker 2: Okay. Okay, you got to expand your palate, man. Give
1:07:55
Speaker 2: it a try.
1:07:56
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I'll bring you around. I'll bring
1:07:58
Speaker 1: you to Koreatown. But why is it that every time Asians,
1:08:01
Speaker 1: they want to take you somewhere to fucking feed you?
1:08:03
Speaker 1: That's the thing, bro. Yeah, we don't like cooking at home.
1:08:06
Speaker 2: Oh, really? Because there's so much good food here that
1:08:09
Speaker 2: cooking at home is almost arrogant. You think you can
1:08:12
Speaker 2: do better than this place, you know? So I got
1:08:15
Speaker 2: to bring you somewhere. Create some joy, let you see
1:08:20
Speaker 2: some shit.
1:08:22
Speaker 1: Fuyo, that's your restaurant? Fuyo, yeah, yeah.
1:08:24
Speaker 5: Fuyo.
1:08:25
Speaker 2: Fuyo, it's Uncle Roger. That's the restaurant name.
1:08:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, congratulations, dude.
1:08:29
Speaker 2: No, thank you, man. Thank you.
1:08:30
Speaker 1: It's so awesome.
1:08:31
Speaker 2: That's only in Malaysia right now. Hopefully, we'll expand this
1:08:33
Speaker 2: concept to all of Asia. But later this year, hopefully,
1:08:38
Speaker 2: we also have something, a new concept opening in London.
1:08:41
Speaker 1: Really?
1:08:42
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, this is the first time I'm saying it
1:08:44
Speaker 2: to the world.
1:08:45
Speaker 4: Shit.
1:08:45
Speaker 2: But yeah, we just got the lease for a place
1:08:48
Speaker 2: in London. Let's go.
1:08:49
Speaker 1: Completely different restaurant name and stuff.
1:08:51
Speaker 5: Fuyo.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: Thank you. Fuyo is like a Malaysian slang for saying
1:08:54
Speaker 2: fuck yeah.
1:08:55
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.
1:08:56
Speaker 2: Nice. Fuyo. Fuyo.
1:08:57
Speaker 4: Fuyo.
1:09:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that, dude.
1:09:02
Speaker 2: It's exciting, man. So cool.
1:09:03
Speaker 1: And when you went there for the first time, did
1:09:05
Speaker 1: you have to go and help design the actual restaurant?
1:09:08
Speaker 1: How did that, how hands-on are you in something like that, right?
1:09:11
Speaker 2: Certain aspects. I came up with a few of the
1:09:14
Speaker 2: fried rice recipes. So Fuyo, it's Uncle Roger. It's a fast,
1:09:18
Speaker 2: casual fried rice restaurant.
1:09:19
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:09:19
Speaker 2: So you get fried rice as your base. You can
1:09:21
Speaker 2: add toppings to it.
1:09:22
Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds so good.
1:09:24
Speaker 2: Oh, it's good, man. We are very proud of our
1:09:26
Speaker 2: fried rice. And I came up with a few of
1:09:27
Speaker 2: the recipes. You know, this is a kimchi fried rice.
1:09:31
Speaker 2: So I decided, yes, we need some seaweed. We decide
1:09:33
Speaker 2: how we want to plate it. You know, the seaweed
1:09:35
Speaker 2: on the side and the perimeter and how you want
1:09:38
Speaker 2: to chop the spring onion.
1:09:39
Speaker 1: There are many ways to chop spring onion.
1:09:40
Speaker 2: You got to find the perfect way.
1:09:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
1:09:43
Speaker 2: It's all a little like bright colored and a little
1:09:46
Speaker 2: corny from a Western eye, but it It works for
1:09:49
Speaker 2: Asia and we like cutesy things and also a lot
1:09:52
Speaker 2: of kids like it, younger people like it.
1:09:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fun. Also, I think getting younger people to like,
1:09:57
Speaker 1: especially like younger American people to like, just to try
1:10:01
Speaker 1: something a little bit different, right? Yeah. Like I think
1:10:03
Speaker 1: my nephews would love this kind of thing, man. Look
1:10:05
Speaker 1: at the egg, man.
1:10:06
Speaker 2: Look at how runny it is. That's another decision to make.
1:10:09
Speaker 2: You got to make the sides crispy and the yolk runny.
1:10:12
Speaker 2: That's what Asians like. You could add some eggs to
1:10:15
Speaker 2: your diet, man.
1:10:16
Speaker 1: Oh, fool, yeah.
1:10:17
Speaker 2: And some runny eggs to your quesadilla to your ground
1:10:21
Speaker 2: beef quesadilla.
1:10:22
Speaker 1: I do very I do a little bit of cheese
1:10:24
Speaker 1: on there shredded cheese quesadilla.
1:10:27
Speaker 2: And that's real that's the two things you eat every day.
1:10:30
Speaker 1: That's the only thing for real you're not joking that's
1:10:31
Speaker 1: the only thing that's at my house to eat and
1:10:33
Speaker 1: the only thing that's at my apartment to eat oh
1:10:34
Speaker 1: wow so I have that put a cheese put a
1:10:37
Speaker 1: layer of ground beef one more layer of cheese take
1:10:40
Speaker 1: some salt sea salt put it on there top on
1:10:43
Speaker 1: it one napkin over it in the microwave probably a minute,
1:10:48
Speaker 1: 15 seconds. When it comes out, I push down on
1:10:50
Speaker 1: the napkin to strengthen that cheese and that meat combo.
1:10:53
Speaker 1: Put it all together, make it a team. Then I'll
1:10:56
Speaker 1: cut it. The second I take that napkin off, I'll
1:10:58
Speaker 1: cut it. One across one of the bottom, make four pieces.
1:11:02
Speaker 1: Do not let it get too cold, brother. It gets bad.
1:11:04
Speaker 2: I need to open a restaurant here, man. You're going
1:11:07
Speaker 2: to experience the joy of eating.
1:11:10
Speaker 1: Oh, I would love that, man. I would love to
1:11:11
Speaker 1: be associated with your restaurant.
1:11:13
Speaker 2: Part of why I took a break from stand-up is
1:11:15
Speaker 2: because it eats into my dinner time. That's how much
1:11:18
Speaker 2: I like food. It's real, man. You do a show
1:11:21
Speaker 2: on tour, I have to sound check at like 5,
1:11:24
Speaker 2: and then I'm stuck in the green room and just
1:11:25
Speaker 2: eating a cold salad. And then after the show, you
1:11:28
Speaker 2: just want a drink. You don't want to eat.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, you're a little bit
1:11:32
Speaker 1: heightened up. And then otherwise, you're eating at like 11
1:11:34
Speaker 1: o'clock at night. That's never super fun.
1:11:36
Speaker 2: No good restaurant is still open at 11. Nothing.
1:11:39
Speaker 1: Even if you try to set up something in advance,
1:11:40
Speaker 1: you know, it won't stay open sometimes. But you can
1:11:44
Speaker 1: order food. But, yeah, touring is a hectic lifestyle. How
1:11:49
Speaker 1: do you stay fit when you're always eating? Do you
1:11:51
Speaker 1: also have to take care of yourself or do you
1:11:53
Speaker 1: want to turn into fat?
1:11:56
Speaker 2: No, I think I got to take care of myself, man.
1:11:58
Speaker 2: I want my life expectancy to go a little beyond that.
1:12:02
Speaker 2: So I just work out. I try to– I try
1:12:05
Speaker 2: to let my dinner be my all out meal. Every
1:12:08
Speaker 2: dinner is my cheat meal, but every other meal is
1:12:10
Speaker 2: like a healthy thing. I try, I try.
1:12:13
Speaker 1: And do you eat breakfast? Do Malaysians eat breakfast? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:12:17
Speaker 2: We got some good breakfast, man. I think best breakfast
1:12:20
Speaker 2: in the world.
1:12:20
Speaker 1: We got rice.
1:12:21
Speaker 2: For breakfast.
1:12:22
Speaker 1: See, that's the part. I'm open to it. I think
1:12:24
Speaker 1: you just, I would have to get. Let's try it.
1:12:26
Speaker 1: Search this, search nasi lemak. N-A-S-I.
1:12:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, Malaysian breakfast. That's the first image. That's the one
1:12:32
Speaker 2: we have. So look at the variety. Rice, peanuts, sambal paste,
1:12:38
Speaker 2: a red paste there, fried chicken sometimes.
1:12:41
Speaker 1: What's a sambal paste? It's like a chili shrimp paste.
1:12:45
Speaker 2: You know? I'm getting hungry now just thinking about this.
1:12:49
Speaker 1: And those are sardines?
1:12:50
Speaker 2: Huh?
1:12:51
Speaker 1: Those are sardines?
1:12:51
Speaker 2: Those are deep fried anchovies.
1:12:54
Speaker 1: Crispy.
1:12:55
Speaker 2: I feel like the joy of this image is lost
1:12:58
Speaker 2: on you, Theo.
1:13:00
Speaker 1: I could see that.
1:13:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at that. Served on a banana leaf. Look
1:13:02
Speaker 2: at how appetizing that is.
1:13:04
Speaker 1: You know?
1:13:06
Speaker 2: Look at that one. The one from medium.
1:13:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one.
1:13:09
Speaker 2: This is another Malaysian breakfast. This is more Indian Malaysian style.
1:13:12
Speaker 1: I like this one.
1:13:12
Speaker 2: You have the roti, the thin bread, slightly crispy and airy.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: You dip it in that yellow dal.
1:13:18
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
1:13:19
Speaker 2: Ah. Man, again, it beats any ground beef quesadilla, man.
1:13:24
Speaker 1: But in Qatar, they had a lot of beautiful sauces
1:13:26
Speaker 1: and stuff too.
1:13:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love sauce. It's what makes life worth living,
1:13:30
Speaker 2: you know? Add that to your cholesterol smoothie or something.
1:13:34
Speaker 1: You're right, dude. I'm a fucking idiot. What am I doing?
1:13:37
Speaker 1: There's all this great food and I'm eating the same
1:13:38
Speaker 1: shit all the time. What a fucking loser.
1:13:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. We should make a video. Maybe next time,
1:13:44
Speaker 2: maybe you can make Uncle Roger your meal and then.
1:13:47
Speaker 1: Let him judge it. Dude, I'm fucking losing my mind, bro.
1:13:52
Speaker 1: I got to get it together, man. And we'll bleep
1:13:54
Speaker 1: that word out. Sorry, that was a little bit out
1:13:55
Speaker 1: of sorts.
1:13:57
Speaker 2: And the shirt you're wearing, too, that's the national flower
1:14:00
Speaker 2: of Malaysia. You want to know more about Malaysia? That's
1:14:02
Speaker 2: a hibiscus. Is it?
1:14:03
Speaker 1: Did you wear that for me? To show respect, yeah. Oh,
1:14:05
Speaker 1: thank you, man. I'll take it.
1:14:07
Speaker 2: Look at that.
1:14:08
Speaker 1: Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah. We have a lot of respect
1:14:11
Speaker 1: for Asian culture here. Thank you. Thank you. That's Japanese,
1:14:16
Speaker 1: but you know.
1:14:17
Speaker 2: It is? Yeah.
1:14:20
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means.
1:14:24
Speaker 2: I know one word.
1:14:25
Speaker 1: Oh, our friendship begins. That's what it means in Japanese.
1:14:28
Speaker 1: Thank you.
1:14:30
Speaker 2: I love the way they say thank you. In Japan,
1:14:33
Speaker 2: they just bow at you.
1:14:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. The most polite Asian people.
1:14:37
Speaker 2: I know. Have you been there? Have you toured there?
1:14:39
Speaker 1: Beautiful. Yeah, I've been to Japan. I haven't toured there, though. Oh,
1:14:44
Speaker 1: you should tour there. I think you'll get a good crowd.
1:14:45
Speaker 1: You think so? An expat crowd.
1:14:47
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then maybe a few random Japanese people who
1:14:50
Speaker 2: got lost.
1:14:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
1:14:52
Speaker 2: Just saw a sign. I like that haircut, too. I
1:14:57
Speaker 2: just end up with your show.
1:14:59
Speaker 3: What?
1:14:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, dude, the thing of, let's, what are some
1:15:03
Speaker 1: of the, like, some Asians get no credit, the Laotians, right?
1:15:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. Laotian people.
1:15:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. I pissed them off one time. Did you? Because
1:15:13
Speaker 1: I said, what did I say?
1:15:14
Speaker 2: Oh, Uncle Roger said Cambodian and Laotian food is like
1:15:18
Speaker 2: a shit version of Thai food. And they get mad
1:15:21
Speaker 2: when you insult their food, man.
1:15:22
Speaker 1: The Laotians.
1:15:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, Laotians and Cambodians. Oh. I still think it's, okay,
1:15:27
Speaker 2: maybe not Lao, but Cambodian food, yeah, it's kind of
1:15:29
Speaker 2: true in a way. I think Thai people perfected that
1:15:32
Speaker 2: region's food.
1:15:33
Speaker 1: You think so?
1:15:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they took inspiration from the Laotian people, their
1:15:37
Speaker 2: own Thai people. And Cambodia, you guys bombed them to shit.
1:15:41
Speaker 2: So that's why they couldn't, yeah, that's why.
1:15:43
Speaker 1: It's hard to eat with the bombing.
1:15:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:15:45
Speaker 1: I know.
1:15:46
Speaker 2: It's hard to enjoy your noodles when there's a landmine
1:15:48
Speaker 2: next to you. Don't drop the chopstick. It's going to
1:15:52
Speaker 2: trigger the explosion. Yeah, I've been to Cambodia. Sometimes it
1:15:57
Speaker 2: makes me sad.
1:15:57
Speaker 1: You've been to Cambodia? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:15:59
Speaker 2: I've been to, what's it called? Angkor Wat.
1:16:03
Speaker 1: Angkor Wat, yeah.
1:16:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:16:05
Speaker 1: And it's right next to Vietnam.
1:16:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
1:16:07
Speaker 1: And is it makes you sad because of just the
1:16:09
Speaker 1: aftermath of the war there and stuff?
1:16:11
Speaker 2: Yeah aftermath of the war and you just see people
1:16:13
Speaker 2: who've lost limbs oh you know because you plant and
1:16:17

1:16:20
Speaker 2: venture you can't just venture off the path you know
1:16:24

1:16:26
Speaker 2: everybody's walking you might step on a landmine oh yeah.
1:16:30
Speaker 1: Who has that song landmine who is.
1:16:31
Speaker 4: That landmines can be gay too jazz hands um Oh,

Speaker 4: it's Bruno Mars?
1:16:42
Speaker 2: Catch a grenade for you, that song.
1:16:44
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. Bruno Mars, I'll
1:16:45
Speaker 1: catch a grenade for you. But no, that is heartbreaking.
1:16:49
Speaker 1: Can you bring that up? Is that true? How much
1:16:50
Speaker 1: landmines are still in Cambodia?
1:16:52
Speaker 2: That's heartbreaking.
1:16:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's your... And did we put them there?
1:16:56
Speaker 2: I think so. I think what's the guy who, the
1:17:01
Speaker 2: president who passed away last year, I think.
1:17:03
Speaker 1: Joe Biden?
1:17:04
Speaker 2: No.

Speaker 2: Was he the one who... There's somebody. I don't fully
1:17:16
Speaker 2: know the history. I just know you guys were highly responsible.
1:17:21
Speaker 1: In fucking the map. I'm sure. Let me see. Millions
1:17:24
Speaker 1: of landmines. Cambodia is one of the most heavily landmine-contaminated
1:17:27
Speaker 1: countries in the world with estimates ranging from four to
1:17:29
Speaker 1: six million landmines and unexploded ordnance scattered across the country.
1:17:35
Speaker 1: At the.
1:17:35
Speaker 2: As of the end of 2022, Cambodia had identified 681
1:17:40
Speaker 2: square kilometers of land contaminated with anti-personnel landmines.
1:17:44
Speaker 1: God. Yeah. New areas of contamination are continually being discovered,
1:17:47
Speaker 1: making the precise number of landmines difficult to determine. Click
1:17:51
Speaker 1: on that third article over there, Human Progress. On February 2025,
1:17:55
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Samdet Dehunmenet. Samdet Dehunmenet. How do you say it?
1:18:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, damn.
1:18:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:18:04
Speaker 1: Highlighted the remarkable achievements in Cambodia's ongoing mine clearance campaign
1:18:07
Speaker 1: over the past 32 years. Since its inception in 1992,
1:18:11
Speaker 1: the initiative has successfully cleared nearly 3,300 square kilometers of landmines. Man.
1:18:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. They have more landmines than you have, like, Starbuckses here.
1:18:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, but, I mean, it just puts hopscotch on a
1:18:23
Speaker 1: whole new fucking level, huh? Yeah. Advanced hopscotch. High-stakes hopscotch.
1:18:28
Speaker 1: Just draw the lines.
1:18:29
Speaker 2: Good luck.
1:18:30
Speaker 1: Dude, this is horrible.
1:18:32
Speaker 2: It's like a squid game over there.
1:18:36
Speaker 1: All you need is like a SimpliSafe camera set up
1:18:38
Speaker 1: on a tree over there to get your squid game
1:18:40
Speaker 1: season three. What is this? What Asian have the most,
1:18:45
Speaker 1: like a lot of Asians squint when they look, right?
1:18:47
Speaker 2: Which Asian have the most? I think every race squint

Speaker 2: when they look, come on. You squint when you look too.
1:18:52
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I look a little Asian, man.
1:18:54

1:19:01
Speaker 1: one that, like what Asian has the one where you
1:19:03
Speaker 1: just want to put a couple quarters in their face,
1:19:05
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about? Type of shit, you know?
1:19:09
Speaker 1: The squintiest Asians. I don't know. Maybe Mongolians because- Bring
1:19:15
Speaker 1: them up. Bring them up.
1:19:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they have like really puffy cheeks in there.
1:19:20
Speaker 1: Oh. So it just pushed the cheeks, pushed the eyelids
1:19:24
Speaker 1: up maybe.
1:19:24
Speaker 2: Oh, beautiful.
1:19:26
Speaker 4: I don't know.
1:19:26
Speaker 1: I love that.
1:19:27

1:19:34
Speaker 1: I mean, that's going to get us in trouble, dude.
1:19:36
Speaker 3: Oh, man.
1:19:36
Speaker 2: I would love to be on this brainstorming session when
1:19:39
Speaker 2: you guys had me on yesterday.
1:19:40
Speaker 1: Brainstorming session? Nigel's coming. What can we ask him? I
1:19:43
Speaker 1: don't know. Ask him. We're afraid to say your name
1:19:46
Speaker 1: out loud. In case this place is bugged by a
1:19:49
Speaker 1: fucking Memphis PD, dude. Yeah.
1:19:53
Speaker 2: That's another grok question.
1:19:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, bring it up on grok as well. See if
1:20:00
Speaker 1: they can help us. Some people say Japanese people because
1:20:03
Speaker 1: they're like, The blast was so bright that they have
1:20:05
Speaker 1: like a.
1:20:06
Speaker 2: They need permanent sunglasses.
1:20:08
Speaker 1: Well, it was a lot for the community. It's all heartbreaking, man.
1:20:13
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a stereotype tied to East Asian populations. It's
1:20:16
Speaker 2: not a stereotype if it's kind of true, right?
1:20:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. Bring up some wide-eyed Asians in. Let's see.
1:20:21
Speaker 1: This could all be bullshit.
1:20:23
Speaker 2: When I film myself on camera, I have to make
1:20:25
Speaker 2: sure the camera's positioned a certain way if there's an
1:20:27
Speaker 2: emotion I want to convey because otherwise, if I look down,
1:20:30
Speaker 2: it's just a slit.
1:20:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:20:32
Speaker 2: So I know I experienced that problem.
1:20:36
Speaker 1: Ooh, this is beautiful. Yeah, I think this is a stereotype, man.
1:20:38
Speaker 1: We might want to get rid of that stereotype. I
1:20:40
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true. I think it's true, man.
1:20:43
Speaker 1: What are common plastic surgeries that some Asians get in
1:20:47
Speaker 1: order to adjust themselves?
1:20:48
Speaker 2: Make our eyes bigger.
1:20:49
Speaker 1: Make our eyes bigger?
1:20:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:20:50

Speaker 2: Asian bring catfish to a whole new level, man.
1:21:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:21:13
Speaker 2: Ooh.
1:21:15
Speaker 1: It's like one of those Rorschach tricks. No.
1:21:18
Speaker 2: Search like crazy Chinese makeup and you'll see it on TikTok.
1:21:22
Speaker 1: But the beauty of it is how artistic that Asians are.
1:21:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it takes ages. It takes so much time
1:21:29
Speaker 2: out of your day.
1:21:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. Asians, they call them.
1:21:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1:22:29
Speaker 1: One or two. We put out six a month. Ah, okay.
1:22:32
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where we're at. Yeah. in the
1:22:35
Speaker 1: space right now. It's interesting because, you know, over time
1:22:39
Speaker 1: you start thinking like, well, you start learning more stuff.
1:22:42
Speaker 1: So then there's more stuff you want to talk about.
1:22:44
Speaker 2: Right.
1:22:45
Speaker 1: And then you start thinking, well, I want to, you know,
1:22:47
Speaker 1: if people are listening, I want to introduce them to
1:22:49
Speaker 1: things that I like that I think are neat, you know,
1:22:51
Speaker 1: or people that it's like, oh, maybe they wouldn't know about,
1:22:54
Speaker 1: you know, like if half of our audience doesn't know
1:22:56
Speaker 1: about you and they listen and they love you, like,
1:22:58
Speaker 1: I've had a great time chatting, man. It's been very fun. Same. Yeah.
1:23:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
1:23:02
Speaker 1: And I was like, kind of worried. I was like,
1:23:03
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be like, but, um.
1:23:05
Speaker 2: It's a normal guy, man.
1:23:06
Speaker 1: You're hilarious. Thank you. Thank you. So funny, dude. And
1:23:10
Speaker 1: so I'm like, yeah, I think it's just things like that.
1:23:13
Speaker 1: And then I would like to be able to learn
1:23:15
Speaker 1: more stuff, like have people in to learn more. You know,
1:23:19
Speaker 1: we're trying to have a healthcare, like a doctor from
1:23:22
Speaker 1: Gaza who's been in like over there. Come on. We're
1:23:25
Speaker 1: trying to have somebody come on about dopamine and like
1:23:27
Speaker 1: the effects of like dopamine addiction and kind of where
1:23:30
Speaker 1: we are as like, especially as men, you know, being addicted.
1:23:34
Speaker 1: And then always jerking off. We always talk about that
1:23:37
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And if we can get better.
1:23:39
Speaker 2: You got to get that guy who's trying to live forever.
1:23:41
Speaker 2: The Brian Johnson guy. Yeah.
1:23:42
Speaker 1: We saw that guy.
1:23:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:23:44
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by him. He's almost Korean, huh?
1:23:47
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:23:47
Speaker 2: He looks like it. Everybody turns Asian after a while.
1:23:50
Speaker 2: Ariana Grande, her latest.
1:23:53
Speaker 1: Look is Asian. Oh, yeah, ASEAN, they call it in
1:23:56
Speaker 1: some places. ASEANA Grande. ASEANA Grande. Yeah, look at this guy, definitely.
1:24:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's turning into a K-pop star.
1:24:04
Speaker 1: Oh, play our song again real quick. Oh, Roger, Roger, Roger.
1:24:12
Speaker 1: It's no bedtime, it's no bedtime. Yeah, this is crazy, man.
1:24:23
Speaker 1: And do Asian people think like they want to live forever?
1:24:25
Speaker 1: Is that more of an American thing?
1:24:27
Speaker 2: I think it's an American thing, man. We accept our fate,
1:24:30
Speaker 2: you know? Really?
1:24:31
Speaker 1: But that's what I like about you guys.
1:24:32
Speaker 2: You think you can change things. And sometimes you can,
1:24:35
Speaker 2: you know? Maybe he will live forever. But I have
1:24:38
Speaker 2: so many relatives who are like old and given how
1:24:42
Speaker 2: annoying they are, I don't want them to live forever, man.
1:24:44
Speaker 2: Imagine if you're this annoying at 70. Imagine if you're 700.
1:24:47
Speaker 4: Oh, man.
1:24:50
Speaker 2: How annoying would you be?
1:24:52
Speaker 1: The worst.
1:24:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:24:53
Speaker 2: That's part of the reason why I want to do
1:24:55
Speaker 2: my wedding in Europe, so hopefully none of them can come.
1:24:59
Speaker 2: It's too far. You have a hip replacement.
1:25:01
Speaker 1: Oh, definitely, because a lot of the air travel will
1:25:03
Speaker 1: really wear on some of that metal.
1:25:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. They can't even walk through the TSA line. They
1:25:07
Speaker 2: start beeping.
1:25:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, they need– yeah, I'm trying to think about Asians–
1:25:14
Speaker 1: But in.
1:25:14
Speaker 2: A sense, the thing you want to do with your channel,
1:25:16
Speaker 2: introducing people to more things, that's kind of the same
1:25:19
Speaker 2: with what I want to do, especially for my food.
1:25:22
Speaker 1: Because food is so tied to culture.
1:25:25
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of videos where, sure, a
1:25:27
Speaker 2: lot of them is me roasting celebrity chefs, but there
1:25:29
Speaker 2: are also a lot where Uncle Roger travels to a place.
1:25:31
Speaker 2: Like my recent one, I went to Thailand. And I
1:25:34
Speaker 2: got someone who lives there to show me. Mark Wiens,
1:25:36
Speaker 2: another big food person.
1:25:37
Speaker 1: Oh, you ate at 6.30 a.m.? You ate in the morning?
1:25:39
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
1:25:40
Speaker 1: Thai green curry in the morning. Oh, the best I've tasted.
1:25:43
Speaker 1: So good.
1:25:44
Speaker 2: And I feel like a lot of the times when
1:25:46
Speaker 2: Western people go to Asia, they always show the weirdest
1:25:49
Speaker 2: parts of what Asian people eat.
1:25:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, come eat these cat nuts or whatever, huh? Yeah.
1:25:55
Speaker 2: So I feel like me doing this is kind of like...
1:25:57
Speaker 2: almost like an insider view of Asia compared to like
1:26:00
Speaker 2: a Western perspective of Asia. And I feel like that's
1:26:03
Speaker 2: my little contribution to the internet. Hmm.
1:26:06
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, there you go.
1:26:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. That's me.
1:26:08
Speaker 1: And that's just a, that's just a secret, uh, curry spice.
1:26:12
Speaker 1: I look good.
1:26:12
Speaker 2: This is a high effort podcast, man. You got a
1:26:14
Speaker 2: Photoshop person on board. What?
1:26:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got one guy. But it's just a secret
1:26:20
Speaker 1: seasoning you're selling. Yeah. That'd be great.
1:26:24
Speaker 2: That's a chili sauce. That's my new chili sauce.
1:26:26
Speaker 1: Well, I think Asian food is just expanding in the U.S.
1:26:30
Speaker 1: I'm sure that it's just growing. Look that up. Is
1:26:32
Speaker 1: Asian cuisine growing in America?
1:26:34
Speaker 2: It must be. Definitely, definitely. And there are so many
1:26:37
Speaker 2: of us globally, you know.
1:26:38
Speaker 1: Evasion. Yeah, yeah.
1:26:40
Speaker 2: Evasion.
1:26:41
Speaker 1: Oh, you see one Asian, you've seen them all. That's
1:26:43
Speaker 1: the old motto.
1:26:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:26:46
Speaker 1: Asian cuisine is growing. It's growing in popularity in America.
1:26:48
Speaker 1: This is reflected in the increase of Asian restaurants. Well,
1:26:50
Speaker 1: that's easy to say. So it's getting more and more specific.
1:26:52
Speaker 2: Oh, sorry.
1:26:53
Speaker 1: Please read first. Go back up.
1:26:54
Speaker 2: U.S.
1:26:54
Speaker 1: Visitors to Asia saw a 33% jump, while Oceania and
1:26:57
Speaker 1: Central America each saw a 30% increase. So people just traveling. Yeah.
1:27:01
Speaker 1: Traveling overall is just increasing their palate.
1:27:03
Speaker 2: Japan is the gateway drug to Asia. Really? Because Americans
1:27:06
Speaker 2: love Japan. When they get there, they love it so much.
1:27:09
Speaker 1: Then.
1:27:10
Speaker 2: You get the courage to explore other parts of Asia. Thailand, Cambodia,
1:27:14
Speaker 2: see the landmines, you know? See the ladyboys in Bangkok.
1:27:19
Speaker 1: Oh, dude, yeah.
1:27:20
Speaker 2: They'll both blow you up. Yeah. One's a little nicer,
1:27:25
Speaker 2: I think.
1:27:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
1:27:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Thailand's been doing the trans thing for
1:27:32
Speaker 2: a long time. They've nailed it, I think.
1:27:35
Speaker 1: And that's growing, too. Men that prefer trans women... And
1:27:40
Speaker 1: bring that up. How much are people enjoying more trans sexual?
1:27:46
Speaker 2: The trans people in Thailand are like hot, hot. You know,
1:27:49
Speaker 2: they put a lot of effort into their process.
1:27:54
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They're not just these bootleg trans people. They
1:27:57
Speaker 1: have pageants.
1:27:57
Speaker 2: They have competitions.
1:27:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, here we just have some fucking thick ginger running
1:28:01
Speaker 1: around with a bra on during the streets of New
1:28:04
Speaker 1: Orleans during Mardi Gras and he's yelling that he's into
1:28:07
Speaker 1: something new or whatever. It's like, Bitch, you're not. You're
1:28:10
Speaker 1: just a fucking St. Patrick's Day bear. These are men
1:28:15
Speaker 1: right here. Yeah, they're all dudes, man. If you hadn't
1:28:19
Speaker 1: have told me that, I would be empty in an hour.
1:28:25
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, sometimes people just say wiener is just
1:28:29
Speaker 1: long pussy.
1:28:31
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody said that. I think it's just you, Theo.
1:28:34
Speaker 2: A wiener is a long pussy? I think that's just you, man.
1:28:39
Speaker 1: I think it's something you hear if you put your,
1:28:41
Speaker 1: you know, if you.
1:28:42
Speaker 2: If you really dig the internet, dig deep.
1:28:46
Speaker 1: Wiener is just that long pussy. Who won? The pageant
1:28:50
Speaker 1: was inaugurated in 1998. Okay, let me get a little
1:28:53
Speaker 1: bit more of this because this is really fascinating. Sandra
1:28:56
Speaker 1: Pimai Panyakam Collapsed to the floor and shed tears of
1:29:01
Speaker 1: joy after she was announced the winner of the 25th
1:29:03
Speaker 1: Miss Tiffany pageant held at the Tiffany Show Theater in
1:29:05
Speaker 1: Pattaya on Sunday night. Saruta triumphed after failing to catch
1:29:10
Speaker 1: the judge's eye on four previous appearances as a Miss
1:29:13
Speaker 1: Tiffany contestant.
1:29:14
Speaker 4: Wow.
1:29:16
Speaker 1: Miss Tiffany, a nod to the pageant's original goal of
1:29:18
Speaker 1: promoting human rights and equality for transgender people in Thailand
1:29:22
Speaker 1: and around the world. Are transgender people accepted in Thailand?
1:29:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:29:26
Speaker 1: They are. So it's a big part of their culture.
1:29:28
Speaker 2: It's a big part of their culture. They've dealt with
1:29:29
Speaker 2: this shit ahead of the time. I think the arguments
1:29:33
Speaker 2: people have over here about the trans issue, I think
1:29:35
Speaker 2: Thailand probably had that 20 years ago. But now it's
1:29:39
Speaker 2: just part of society. They don't even think about the pronouns.
1:29:42
Speaker 2: They just get called like she, her, or whatever they
1:29:45
Speaker 2: want to get called. So it's nice. I think we
1:29:47
Speaker 2: can learn from that a little bit.
1:29:49
Speaker 1: For sure. I think... Yeah, these people are beautiful. Wow,
1:29:54
Speaker 1: this is a... That's a young lady, huh?
1:29:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, they look good, man.
1:29:59
Speaker 1: Hey, it's like you don't know what you don't know.
1:30:01
Speaker 1: Don't come on my back and tell me it's raining,
1:30:03
Speaker 1: you know? That's that old wives' tale.
1:30:09
Speaker 2: I think you've got to tour Thailand next.
1:30:11
Speaker 1: Wow. I don't know.
1:30:12
Speaker 2: You're going to risk finding out you enjoy this?
1:30:15
Speaker 1: I don't know. You just, you know, you don't want
1:30:17
Speaker 1: to accidentally bring sand to the fricking Wiener beach or whatever,
1:30:20
Speaker 1: you know? But yeah. Oh no, dude, I think this
1:30:23
Speaker 1: is great. But I think the issue that we have
1:30:24
Speaker 1: in America, and that's just a joke, but I think
1:30:26
Speaker 1: the issue that we have in America is that it's,
1:30:28
Speaker 1: you have men using it mostly for sports, right? It's like,
1:30:31
Speaker 1: if you're going over to play sports and you know,
1:30:33
Speaker 1: you're a biological male to me, it just feels like
1:30:36
Speaker 1: you're cheating, right? We should have a, a, a, a,
1:30:39
Speaker 1: a class. It's just for trans people. and let them
1:30:42
Speaker 1: compete there. And let it be a new thing that
1:30:44
Speaker 1: we embody and embrace. And that's the thing I would
1:30:47
Speaker 1: try to start if I'm trans. Don't put me in
1:30:49
Speaker 1: with men or put me in with women if I'm
1:30:51
Speaker 1: not exactly as them. Let me do something new.
1:30:55
Speaker 2: I think that's why they have the pageants. How they
1:30:57
Speaker 2: keep them busy with the pageants so they don't do sports.
1:31:00
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good point.
1:31:01
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
1:31:02
Speaker 1: If you're too busy. Yeah.
1:31:04
Speaker 2: These are actual biological women. And they don't look nearly
1:31:08
Speaker 2: as good.
1:31:08
Speaker 1: That's a good point, huh?
1:31:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
1:31:11
Speaker 1: Maybe we're coming to a unique time in culture where
1:31:14
Speaker 1: men are tired of being men so they would rather
1:31:16
Speaker 1: spend their time looking like women and women are tired
1:31:18
Speaker 1: of being women and they would rather spend.
1:31:22
Speaker 2: Time looking like men.
1:31:23
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:31:24
Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want, man. I think if
1:31:26
Speaker 2: you become a woman, that's a benefit too. You can
1:31:28
Speaker 2: actually become a Qatari citizen, right?
1:31:31
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good point. You can marry the Qatari
1:31:33
Speaker 1: male citizen. Yeah, there's a loophole.
1:31:37
Speaker 2: There's a loophole.
1:31:38
Speaker 1: I like this, huh? That's the dessert on the menu
1:31:41
Speaker 1: at Fuyo. It's Uncle Roger, yeah. The dessert is a
1:31:46
Speaker 1: secret path to Qatari citizenship.
1:31:48
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that.
1:31:51
Speaker 1: One last thing I want to talk to you about. Oh,
1:31:53
Speaker 1: you hear a lot about Taiwan and China, right?
1:31:56
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That's gone to some trouble there a few
1:31:59
Speaker 2: years ago.
1:32:00
Speaker 1: Just what, talking about it? I just had a joke.
1:32:03
Speaker 2: If you search Uncle Roger VS China, I just did
1:32:06
Speaker 2: a bit that works all over the world. I did
1:32:09
Speaker 2: that bit in Bangkok and Toronto and LA. It works
1:32:12
Speaker 2: all over the world. So I kind of just want
1:32:14
Speaker 2: to gently roast Taiwan and gently roast China. And then
1:32:18
Speaker 2: right after that, all my Chinese social media accounts got banned.
1:32:22
Speaker 1: Really?
1:32:22
Speaker 2: That was two years ago. Everything got wiped. If you
1:32:25
Speaker 2: search Uncle Roger on those Chinese social media apps, you'll
1:32:28
Speaker 2: find nothing. even though I had like hundreds of thousands
1:32:30
Speaker 2: of followers before that.
1:32:32
Speaker 1: Really? And did you have, oh yeah, wow, this has
1:32:35
Speaker 1: 40 million views, Uncle Roger?
1:32:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a YouTube short. Those things go viral sometimes.
1:32:41
Speaker 1: Not this viral, God. This is the most viral thing
1:32:43
Speaker 1: since COVID out of China. China, okay, China, good country,
1:32:46
Speaker 1: good country. Good country, good country. We have to say
1:32:54
Speaker 1: that now, correct? All their phone listening. All their phone listening.
1:33:01
Speaker 1: This nephew got Huawei phone. They all listening. All our
1:33:04
Speaker 1: phone tap into it. Long live presidency. Long live presidency.
1:33:12
Speaker 1: Uncle Roger's social credit score going up. And he's a
1:33:17
Speaker 1: nephew from Taiwan. Not a real country. Not a real...
1:33:23
Speaker 1: Not a real country. I hope one day you rejoin
1:33:29
Speaker 1: the motherland.
1:33:30
Speaker 4: One China.
1:33:34
Speaker 1: That's hilarious, dude. So is that a real feeling in Taiwan?
1:33:38
Speaker 1: Some of them feel like they should be part of
1:33:39
Speaker 1: China and some people don't?
1:33:40
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a very divided thing. But most people don't
1:33:43
Speaker 2: want to be part of China. Taiwan is a very
1:33:45
Speaker 2: interesting place. They do not use any of the Chinese
1:33:48
Speaker 2: social media apps. They use the Western ones. They use Facebook, Google, Instagram.
1:33:53
Speaker 2: Whereas in China, all those things are blocked. You know? And,
1:33:58
Speaker 2: you know, I released this clip and then everything got
1:34:00
Speaker 2: wiped from Chinese socials. And then you remember last year
1:34:03
Speaker 2: or a few months ago, everybody was getting on Red Note,
1:34:05
Speaker 2: this Chinese app. Yes. I tried re-registering for an account.
1:34:09
Speaker 2: And the moment I uploaded my profile photo, that whole
1:34:12
Speaker 2: account got wiped again. No. So they have some sort of,
1:34:15
Speaker 2: I'm in some sort of database over there.
1:34:17
Speaker 1: So China's against you, you think? I probably can still
1:34:22
Speaker 1: visit if I get a visa, but I don't know
1:34:25
Speaker 1: if I want to risk it, you know? Yeah, and
1:34:26
Speaker 1: they just probably don't want you having a say in
1:34:28
Speaker 1: what China is like. They just don't want you having
1:34:31
Speaker 1: a voice in their country. Yeah, yeah.
1:34:33
Speaker 2: But, you know, it is what it is. Sometimes, I
1:34:37
Speaker 2: think in the U.S., we take free speech for granted sometimes,
1:34:39
Speaker 2: and we forget that not all countries are like this.
1:34:42
Speaker 2: In the U.S., you say anything, and the worst thing
1:34:45
Speaker 2: that happens is people get mad at you, right?
1:34:48
Speaker 1: In the comments, whatever. I don't know. I mean, these days,
1:34:51
Speaker 1: a lot of things get taken down even in the U.S.
1:34:54
Speaker 1: I feel like there's things you can't say. I think
1:34:56
Speaker 1: things get submerged, you know, or like, what is it called?
1:35:00
Speaker 1: Shadow banned?
1:35:01
Speaker 2: Shadow banned.
1:35:02
Speaker 1: True, true.
1:35:03
Speaker 2: But in a stand-up context, I feel we get more leeway.
1:35:06
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great point.
1:35:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a stand-up context, we get so much freedom here.
1:35:10
Speaker 1: What is the biggest issue over there with Taiwan? Do
1:35:12
Speaker 1: you think that they'll remain free? Because they make some
1:35:14
Speaker 1: of the most semiconductors in the world, right?
1:35:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, TSMC, that company, yeah.
1:35:18
Speaker 1: Taiwan Semiconductor.
1:35:19
Speaker 2: Taiwan's TSMC is the only reason China hasn't attacked Taiwan yet.
1:35:22
Speaker 1: Wow.
1:35:23
Speaker 2: That's too valuable.
1:35:25
Speaker 1: China and the United States both view Taiwan's dominance of
1:35:28
Speaker 1: the global tech supply chain as a national security risk.
1:35:31
Speaker 1: In response, they have tried to boost their own capacity
1:35:33
Speaker 1: to make chips they need. Yeah, I think they're trying
1:35:36
Speaker 1: to make more chips in the U.S. I know that
1:35:39
Speaker 1: that was something I saw a couple weeks ago. NVIDIA's
1:35:43
Speaker 1: chief says U.S. chip controls on China have backfired. Jensen Huang...
1:35:49
Speaker 1: who I'd love to talk to, the chipmaker's top executive
1:35:54
Speaker 1: from NVIDIA. They're the number one. They're the leader in chips,
1:35:56
Speaker 1: I believe. Said the attempt to cut off the flow
1:35:59
Speaker 1: of advanced AI chips spurred Chinese companies to accelerate their development.
1:36:04
Speaker 4: Wow.
1:36:06
Speaker 1: Lawmakers in Washington have worked for years to limit China's
1:36:08
Speaker 1: access to the cutting-edge computer chips needed for advanced artificial intelligence.
1:36:13
Speaker 1: particularly those made by NVIDIA, America's leading chip maker. And yeah,
1:36:17
Speaker 1: so these are the chips that are used for AI.
1:36:19
Speaker 1: And for some reason- AI weapons, you know, rockets. Right,
1:36:23
Speaker 1: it's just there's, and for some reason they make them
1:36:25
Speaker 1: the best over here, right? Taiwan has the best ones.
1:36:28
Speaker 2: I think so, so far.
1:36:30
Speaker 1: So far.
1:36:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:36:32
Speaker 1: But according to NVIDIA's chief executive, Jensen Huang, those regulations
1:36:36
Speaker 1: driven by economic and security concerns have only made Chinese
1:36:38
Speaker 1: tech companies stronger. Wow.
1:36:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:36:42
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the type of thing somebody would
1:36:43
Speaker 1: go to war because whoever controls this is going to
1:36:45
Speaker 1: control a lot of things. I think this is going
1:36:47
Speaker 1: over my head, man.
1:36:48
Speaker 2: I just buy some Bitcoin and call it a day,
1:36:51
Speaker 2: you know? Yeah.
1:36:53
Speaker 1: Oh, me too. I'm just wondering what could happen to
1:36:55
Speaker 1: the people of Taiwan, right? I think that's my question
1:36:57
Speaker 1: is like, do people there live every day? It must
1:37:00
Speaker 1: be weird there every day. You're going to a factory
1:37:02
Speaker 1: probably and creating these chips, but knowing that the creation
1:37:06
Speaker 1: of these chips could have a semblance on if your
1:37:09
Speaker 1: country gets... or attempted to be controlled. It has to
1:37:13
Speaker 1: be very strange, I feel like, you know? Do you
1:37:16
Speaker 1: think that makes any sense or no?
1:37:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have this, maybe this added responsibility
1:37:20
Speaker 2: that I better make a good fucking chip otherwise China's
1:37:22
Speaker 2: gonna ruin us.
1:37:24
Speaker 1: Right, or by keeping to make these, what if we
1:37:25
Speaker 1: all decided we're not gonna make them? Would they all
1:37:27
Speaker 1: just leave us alone and we could just be at peace?
1:37:29
Speaker 2: No, if Taiwan stops making them, China's gonna attack it. Oh,
1:37:34
Speaker 2: I see. China needs those chips right now. That's why
1:37:36
Speaker 2: they're not bombing the factories.
1:37:38
Speaker 1: Oh, I see. So they need them because they're supplying them. Yes, yes.
1:37:41
Speaker 2: So if you start making them, that'll be like, you know,
1:37:43
Speaker 2: if like a, what do you call it, a bin man,
1:37:45
Speaker 2: what a garbage truck person, you know, if they suck
1:37:48
Speaker 2: at their job, the whole country gets attacked. Oh, yeah.
1:37:51
Speaker 2: That would be stressful.
1:37:53
Speaker 1: Oh, it'd be the worst.
1:37:54
Speaker 2: Imagine you work at In-N-Out. If you get the order wrong,
1:37:58
Speaker 2: Mexico's coming. Yeah.
1:38:01
Speaker 1: Do, um, this may one of my last questions. Do
1:38:04
Speaker 1: you think, so a lot of goods from America are
1:38:07
Speaker 1: made in Asia, right? Do you think that a, how
1:38:11
Speaker 1: do Asian people feel about that? Like, do they take
1:38:15
Speaker 1: a lot of pride that they make it all these
1:38:16
Speaker 1: like things that go all over the world? Do they
1:38:19
Speaker 1: just feel like it's just a means to an end
1:38:21
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of pride in it? Like,
1:38:23
Speaker 1: what does that feel like? Do you feel like, especially
1:38:25
Speaker 1: probably to China, China's the place that gets labeled a
1:38:27
Speaker 1: lot as like making everything you know yeah what do
1:38:30
Speaker 1: you what have you heard or like what do people
1:38:32
Speaker 1: say about that does that make sense to.
1:38:33
Speaker 2: You yeah Malaysia makes quite a few things too not
1:38:35
Speaker 2: as much as China for sure I feel like to
1:38:39
Speaker 2: us it's it's it's a job and it's a decent
1:38:42
Speaker 2: job and without those manufacturing jobs those people will have
1:38:45
Speaker 2: a shittier life you know so I think we we
1:38:49
Speaker 2: like that those things, you know, globalization. I think when
1:38:53
Speaker 2: people talk about globalization, they see it from the American perspective. Yeah,
1:38:56
Speaker 2: you are losing jobs to the outside world. But on
1:38:59
Speaker 2: the flip side, we Asians are gaining some jobs that
1:39:02
Speaker 2: pay better than those jobs that existed prior, like, you know,
1:39:07
Speaker 2: working at a hawker stall, selling noodles all day, manufacturing
1:39:10
Speaker 2: shoes probably pays them more. And I think this is
1:39:13
Speaker 2: a tough part, right? Sometimes Sometimes the economy, I feel,
1:39:17
Speaker 2: is a zero-sum game. Making a shoe is either a
1:39:19
Speaker 2: job in America or a job in Asia. We only
1:39:21
Speaker 2: need so many shoes. But we do think it is good.
1:39:26
Speaker 2: It helps us elevate our quality of life. And hopefully,
1:39:29
Speaker 2: in a few generations' time, the Asians will have made
1:39:32
Speaker 2: more money. And then maybe we won't have to do
1:39:35
Speaker 2: those menial manufacturing jobs anymore. But for now, it's the
1:39:39
Speaker 2: same thing, where there was a news article, I think
1:39:42
Speaker 2: it came out recently, last year maybe, where in New York,
1:39:45
Speaker 2: they were starting to use self-checkout lines. But then you
1:39:50
Speaker 2: had a FaceTime video call with someone from the Philippines,
1:39:52
Speaker 2: the persons being the checkout, the cashier for you from
1:39:56
Speaker 2: the Philippines.
1:39:57
Speaker 1: Oh, so you had a Zoom call with a checkout person? Yeah, yeah.
1:40:01
Speaker 2: So the whole internet hated it. But then from my perspective,
1:40:05
Speaker 2: it's like the person in the Philippines is probably getting
1:40:07
Speaker 2: paid way more than any job that she would have gotten,
1:40:10
Speaker 2: the person that they would have gotten in the Philippines.
1:40:13
Speaker 2: And this is just a hard part of, it's not
1:40:15
Speaker 2: an easy problem to solve, right? Global inequality. And I
1:40:19
Speaker 2: think it just takes time maybe. And just the hope
1:40:23
Speaker 2: is one day globalization will just even the playing field
1:40:25
Speaker 2: that everybody can afford the things we need in life
1:40:29
Speaker 2: healthcare house vehicle those things so that's my take on
1:40:33
Speaker 2: it it's not very funny but hopefully yeah that's the thing.
1:40:37
Speaker 1: Oh Philippine yeah yeah But no, I think that's great.
1:40:40
Speaker 1: I just always wonder, like, I always think like, oh yeah,
1:40:42
Speaker 1: it's just like how I look at it from my
1:40:43
Speaker 1: perspective as an American. I never think like, what do
1:40:45
Speaker 1: these people feel about it? Like, you know.
1:40:48
Speaker 2: We probably like it to the Filipino person.
1:40:50
Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. She's just working from home, putting a
1:40:53
Speaker 1: fake Zoom background. Nothing, huh? Just clocking in. Cooking. Yeah,
1:40:57
Speaker 1: not even cooking. She's just checking out the cashier. Yeah,
1:40:59
Speaker 1: but she can be cooking at the same time.
1:41:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, she can be cooking for her kids. She'll be
1:41:03
Speaker 2: home for her kids. Because in Asia, people work long hours, man.
1:41:06
Speaker 2: There's some, you know, In Malaysia, we have domestic helpers
1:41:09
Speaker 2: sometimes who come in from Indonesia and they live with us, right?
1:41:14
Speaker 2: So they are just gone from their families three years
1:41:17
Speaker 2: at a time. And they get one day off a
1:41:21
Speaker 2: week maybe where they get to call their family. So
1:41:24
Speaker 2: this Filipino job, this virtual cashier job, that's like the
1:41:29
Speaker 2: best job. That's working remotely, man. That's being a digital
1:41:31
Speaker 2: nomad for them.
1:41:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. I love that shit.
1:41:33
Speaker 2: They're doing that in Bali, you know?
1:41:35
Speaker 1: I like that shit. I like that shit.
1:41:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:41:37
Speaker 1: But what about this? So, and I'll say this, round
1:41:40
Speaker 1: of applause for Filipinos. I want to say that, right? Yes.
1:41:43
Speaker 2: Jokoy.
1:41:44
Speaker 1: Doing good job.
1:41:45
Speaker 2: Jokoy did good.
1:41:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. Doing good job.
1:41:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:41:47
Speaker 1: But I want to say Filipinos, it's funny because they're
1:41:51
Speaker 1: usually the last people you see before you die because
1:41:54
Speaker 1: a lot of them work in hospice care. Oh, that's true.
1:41:57
Speaker 1: You know?
1:41:58
Speaker 2: I was wondering where this conversation was going.
1:42:00
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It's going.
1:42:01
Speaker 2: But you just see the light and then there's a
1:42:03
Speaker 2: Filipino person.
1:42:04
Speaker 1: It's just like, well, the light is a little bit.
1:42:05
Speaker 2: Blocking the light.
1:42:06
Speaker 1: It's a little bit blocked here by like one Filipino
1:42:08
Speaker 1: person with like a stethoscope, you know? Yeah, it's Joe
1:42:10
Speaker 1: Coy blocking the light. But they often have a lot
1:42:14
Speaker 1: of the same name, you know, David. David. David. David.
1:42:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:42:22
Speaker 1: What's another one? Maria. Susie.
1:42:25
Speaker 2: Susie.
1:42:26
Speaker 1: Popular. Look at a popular Filipino-American names, then we'll get
1:42:30
Speaker 1: you out of here.
1:42:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:42:31
Speaker 1: Maria, Christina.
1:42:32
Speaker 2: Filipino.
1:42:33
Speaker 1: Filipino. God, I want to be when it happens again.
1:42:36
Speaker 2: I think they have the biggest eyes for Asians. They
1:42:41
Speaker 2: have the roundest eyes.
1:42:42
Speaker 1: Full of love.
1:42:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, full of love and care. When you're in hospice,
1:42:47
Speaker 2: you want someone with big round eyes taking care of you,
1:42:51
Speaker 2: you know?
1:42:51
Speaker 1: Big round eyes. You ever heard that song? No.
1:42:57
Speaker 2: Oh, I know that song.
1:42:57
Speaker 1: Big round eyes. Oh, yeah, it's about Filipino love. It's
1:43:03
Speaker 1: about Pinoy heartbreak.
1:43:04
Speaker 2: I think in hospice care, you don't want a squinty-eyed
1:43:06
Speaker 2: person taking care of you. They look like they're up
1:43:08
Speaker 2: to something.
1:43:09
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they're secret, huh? Yeah. James, that could be one. Edward.
1:43:13
Speaker 2: Edward, yeah, yeah. Filipino.
1:43:16
Speaker 1: Benjamin. Benjamin. Yeah, Benjamin. A lot of good Filipinos. God.
1:43:21
Speaker 2: Mario is good.
1:43:23
Speaker 1: Like Italian Filipino. Like, oh, Pinoy pasta. Pizza ravioli. Yeah,
1:43:32
Speaker 1: I would love to be Filipino next time, man. Yeah,
1:43:35
Speaker 1: let's reincarnate, man. Dude, we could come back, huh?
1:43:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I better come back rich, dude. I want to
1:43:40
Speaker 2: come back to a kid with rich parents.
1:43:42
Speaker 1: Oh, you want to be a kid with rich parents? Oh,
1:43:44
Speaker 1: it would be fun.
1:43:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't matter what race. It doesn't matter what race.
1:43:47
Speaker 2: Just kid with rich parents.
1:43:48
Speaker 1: But would you attack them? Would you like menendez them
1:43:50
Speaker 1: or whatever? Menendez brothers? The guys that I think they
1:43:54
Speaker 1: attacked their.
1:43:55
Speaker 2: Parents or something because they brought them cold food or whatever?
1:43:57
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at it.
1:43:58
Speaker 2: I probably would just to get their inheritance, you know?
1:44:01
Speaker 1: I'll make sure they write their will down first. Yeah.
1:44:03
Speaker 2: Just double check the will.
1:44:04
Speaker 1: All right.
1:44:05
Speaker 2: Step, step, step. Okay.
1:44:08
Speaker 1: It sounds dangerous.
1:44:09
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:44:09
Speaker 1: It sounds dangerous for us. Nigel Ng, thank you so
1:44:14
Speaker 1: much for coming in. Of course, man. We really appreciate your.
1:44:16
Speaker 2: Time, brother. I'll bring you to some good food sometime.
1:44:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love to do that.
1:44:19
Speaker 2: And make a video or something.
1:44:20
Speaker 1: I'd love to, dude. I'd love to swap. We got
1:44:22
Speaker 1: to swap a number or something. And this has been
1:44:25
Speaker 1: one of my favorite interviews, man. Thank you so much.
1:44:26
Speaker 1: Like sometimes I go into like a day or something.
1:44:28
Speaker 1: I'm sure this happens to everybody. But it's like, how's
1:44:31
Speaker 1: this day going to be? And you're like kind of tired.
1:44:33
Speaker 1: You're just been along, whatever. And then it's awesome, you know?
1:44:37
Speaker 1: Thank you.
1:44:37
Speaker 2: Likewise, likewise.
1:44:38
Speaker 1: I think that's the power of like people getting together, right?
1:44:41
Speaker 1: Because sometimes you need somebody else to make your day better,
1:44:43
Speaker 1: you know? And so I just want to say thank
1:44:45
Speaker 1: you so much for your time. And, yeah, I hope
1:44:48
Speaker 1: you do get that extra restaurant opened up, dude. I
1:44:50
Speaker 1: think it would be exciting for people to go see
1:44:53
Speaker 1: and for more people to learn about foods from different
1:44:55
Speaker 1: parts of the world. You can check out Uncle Roger's channel.
1:44:58
Speaker 1: He's got a great channel. It's Nigel Ng. Ng, yeah.
1:45:02
Speaker 1: Nigel Ng. And we'll put all the links and everything, man.
1:45:07
Speaker 1: Anything else that you wanted to share?
1:45:08
Speaker 2: No, that's it.
1:45:10
Speaker 1: Check out my channel. Yeah. Oh, and best of luck
1:45:12
Speaker 1: with the marriage, dude. Let's say one nice thing. Say
1:45:15
Speaker 1: one or two or three nice things about your wife
1:45:17
Speaker 1: so that one day she can look back and she'll
1:45:19
Speaker 1: have this. She'll look back to the Theo Vaughn podcast.
1:45:22
Speaker 1: That's true.
1:45:22
Speaker 2: That's a horrible thought to say, huh? Is that egotistical
1:45:25
Speaker 2: to say that? No, no, it's okay. I think she'll
1:45:27
Speaker 2: be happy. That's all I'm saying.
1:45:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, she'll love it. What's something nice about her that
1:45:33
Speaker 1: you really admire?
1:45:35
Speaker 2: I think she's the love of my life and she
1:45:36
Speaker 2: makes every day better.
1:45:38
Speaker 1: Oh, dude, that's gay, bro. Play the song again, dude.
1:45:42
Speaker 1: That's the gayest shit I've ever heard, bro.
1:45:45
Speaker 3: God, dude.
1:45:46
Speaker 2: Oh, God. I regret saying that now. I regret saying that.
1:45:56
Speaker 1: I'm joking, dude. Shut it down.
1:45:59
Speaker 4: No.
1:46:00
Speaker 1: Okay. You think you found the love of your life?
1:46:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
1:46:04
Speaker 1: That's cool.
1:46:05
Speaker 2: That's why people get married, right?
1:46:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:46:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:46:07
Speaker 1: That's a good point, huh? If you haven't found the
1:46:09
Speaker 1: love of your life, then what are you, just part-timing
1:46:11
Speaker 1: it with somebody on your heart?
1:46:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, situationship. Just the fuck buddy of your life, you know?
1:46:17
Speaker 1: That's a long haul, man. Well, congratulations. Two months to
1:46:20
Speaker 1: your marriage? Yep.
1:46:21
Speaker 2: Oh, it's exciting, dude. Very few relatives are coming. It's
1:46:24
Speaker 2: too far.
1:46:25
Speaker 1: Not allowed. Too far for these old Asians. Shut them down.
1:46:29
Speaker 1: Shut them down, dude.
1:46:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, deport them. Deport them from Europe.
1:46:32
Speaker 1: Pull the semiconductors right out of their backs, dude. We
1:46:35
Speaker 1: do not need them hitting the air.
1:46:37
Speaker 2: Go back to the factory.
1:46:40
Speaker 1: To that factory in the sky, dude. Thank you so much, Hazel.
1:46:43
Speaker 1: Have a good day, brother.
1:46:44
Speaker 2: You too. Whether you like it or you love it.
1:46:50
Speaker 1: Whether you're kissing.
1:46:52
Speaker 2: Or you're touching.
1:46:53
Speaker 1: Don't hide the lust, I know you're coming.
1:46:55
Speaker 4: Niggas can be gay too. There ain't nothing you need
1:47:00
Speaker 4: to hide.
1:47:01
Speaker 1: Deal games or really survive. Tomorrow you might not be alive.
1:47:05
Speaker 1: Niggas can be gay too.
