This Past Weekend with Theo Von - #586

00:00:00.000 I've got some tour dates to tell you about. I'll be in Cedar Rapids, St. Paul, Minnesota, Fargo, North Dakota, Rapid City, South Dakota, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Rochester, New York, and Detroit, Michigan, all in June and July.

00:00:16.640 Tickets available now at Theovan.com slash T-O-U-R. Thank you so much for your support.

00:00:22.880 Today's guest is a content creator, a restaurateur, and a comedian. He is from Malaysia, and he found his way to the UK and America by doing comedy.

00:00:35.680 He's known for his character Uncle Raja, Uncle Raja, a grumpy food critic who roasts celebrity chefs, and with that, he's gained more than 30 million followers.

00:00:46.660 Quite the ride with today's guest. I couldn't be more geeked to get to hang out with Nigel Ung.

00:00:55.160 What's the most vain Asians you think? Because Asians you don't think of, because people think about Asians a lot, right?

00:01:22.700 Do they? Do they think about Asians a lot?

00:01:25.280 Oh, yeah.

00:01:26.140 Yeah, okay, okay. Yeah, why? Why would you think about this a lot?

00:01:29.880 Because I think it's fascinating.

00:01:31.560 Okay, right.

00:01:33.480 Because people can't, some people can't believe it. They see it, they, you show somebody, like you show a baby an Asian or whatever, I think they'd be surprised, kind of.

00:01:41.760 No, they look the same. Smaller eyes, squintier eyes, that's it, you know?

00:01:46.280 Oh, that's a good point. Some of them are, I guess if you have a tall baby, yeah.

00:01:49.100 Yeah. Yeah, we have a little squintier, a little flatter nose. That's it, really. You're all the same, man.

00:01:56.460 Yeah, some of us can look whiter than you. Some of us can be fairer than white people.

00:02:00.640 Oh, yeah, that's a good point, huh?

00:02:02.120 Yeah, I think we should have some white privilege.

00:02:05.440 I know, right?

00:02:06.500 Yeah.

00:02:07.460 Yeah, that sounds fair.

00:02:08.500 I'm whiter than you.

00:02:09.540 That's a good point.

00:02:10.360 Look at this. Look at this shit, yeah.

00:02:11.380 Look at this honky.

00:02:13.420 Look at this freaking sesame cracker.

00:02:16.040 Oh, thank you.

00:02:16.840 That was ridiculous.

00:02:17.340 Thanks for inviting me on here, Theo.

00:02:19.220 Dude, it's a pleasure, man. Thank you so much. But no, what a... Nigel.

00:02:25.240 Nigel.

00:02:25.720 Nigel.

00:02:26.220 Nigel.

00:02:26.760 Yes.

00:02:27.400 And how do you say the last name?

00:02:28.480 Ng.

00:02:28.940 Ng.

00:02:29.860 It's Southeast Asian, Malaysian last name. That's where I'm from originally.

00:02:33.980 Yeah, that's a living... You're the damn living N-word right there. I can't even...

00:02:37.780 I know. It's dangerous, isn't it?

00:02:39.660 Ooh.

00:02:40.180 It's dangerous.

00:02:41.160 Yeah.

00:02:41.500 Yeah.

00:02:42.400 It is.

00:02:43.260 Yeah.

00:02:44.180 Just a few letters away.

00:02:45.540 It's risky, brother.

00:02:46.460 That's an N-I-G. There's no A in there, thankfully.

00:02:49.460 Yeah, but there's enough there. I think we're... Like, people would be like, what's going on here?

00:02:55.200 Yeah, there's that Vietnamese... That's a meme of the Vietnamese restaurant. The name of the restaurant is B-I-C-H-N-G-A.

00:03:03.000 Oh, oh. B-I-C-H-N-G-A. Just pronouncing, just ordering food, huh?

00:03:09.020 Yeah, just call it the Vietnamese. Yeah, there's one where there's a black guy narrating over it and saying, you can't tell me this is not bitch.

00:03:18.440 B-I-C-H-N-G-A. B-I-C-H-N-G-A. Wow, brother. That's what I'm saying, man.

00:03:24.220 We try, man. We try.

00:03:25.340 But I also like it's cafe. B-I-C-H-N-G-A. All of the ribs.

00:03:28.540 So this is a popular sound in... And you said you're from Malaysia?

00:03:34.520 Yeah, yeah. That's not... In Vietnam, it would be N-G-something.

00:03:38.460 Okay.

00:03:38.800 N-G-A, N-G-U, Y-E-N, Nguyen, right?

00:03:42.960 But in Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, you will see N-G.

00:03:46.080 N-G.

00:03:46.620 Yeah, yeah. It's confusing.

00:03:49.380 No.

00:03:50.120 N-G, N-G, N-G, N-G.

00:03:51.720 Yeah, I went to Malaysia one time when I was a student.

00:03:54.360 Oh, shit, really?

00:03:55.160 Yeah, we went to... What's the capital?

00:03:57.080 Kuala Lumpur.

00:03:57.700 Kuala Lumpur, yeah.

00:03:58.980 For what?

00:03:59.640 I just was a student on this thing called Semester at Sea. It's like a floating school.

00:04:03.520 Uh-huh.

00:04:04.000 And one of the stops was over there in Malaysia.

00:04:06.540 So you took a boat, like a boat over there.

00:04:08.720 Like a cruise ship. It's like a... Pull it up.

00:04:12.100 That's a long trip, man.

00:04:13.560 Oh, it's a long trip. We left out of Vancouver, Canada.

00:04:17.840 That's how I got here. From the same boat, I think.

00:04:20.960 Oh, really?

00:04:21.440 Yeah, I just crawled on to your boat without a visa.

00:04:24.920 Oh, yeah. Welcome.

00:04:26.580 That's how most people are getting in, dude.

00:04:28.220 Semester at Sea.

00:04:29.380 We are not the best tourist destination, though, Malaysia.

00:04:33.140 You know, we're like a little, tiny little country.

00:04:36.060 We live well there.

00:04:37.260 The quality of life is pretty good.

00:04:38.940 But we're not like a big tourist place.

00:04:41.160 Yeah, I think it felt like that.

00:04:42.660 I think it felt like the beaches and then kind of what do we do here a little bit.

00:04:46.160 There's nothing to do there.

00:04:47.220 You just eat and live, live your life.

00:04:49.680 But are, so don't forget this, are Malaysians the most vain?

00:04:54.840 Who's the most vain?

00:04:56.480 Koreans, man.

00:04:57.380 Is it?

00:04:57.840 Yeah, like Korean Koreans.

00:04:59.480 Not Bobby Lee Korean.

00:05:01.160 You know, Bobby Lee's...

00:05:02.300 I think he was born here, right?

00:05:03.520 Bobby Lee?

00:05:04.160 Yeah.

00:05:04.600 There's undeniable that God does not have a birth certificate that's legitimate.

00:05:09.120 You know what I'm saying?

00:05:09.820 Yeah.

00:05:10.060 He probably...

00:05:10.820 He's obviously a POW, you know?

00:05:12.800 Yeah.

00:05:13.320 He has very POW energy.

00:05:15.120 That's true.

00:05:15.780 And he has a lot of trauma, I think.

00:05:17.300 Yeah, he has a lot of burn marks on his back, too.

00:05:19.740 Oh, really?

00:05:20.280 Yeah, from cigarettes, I think, from gambling issues.

00:05:22.500 But people say different things, you know?

00:05:24.480 Yeah, but I think Koreans are the vainest Asians, man.

00:05:27.420 They have a whole skincare.

00:05:28.260 They're known for skincare.

00:05:29.540 The whole country is known for skincare and plastic surgery.

00:05:32.080 Oh, really?

00:05:32.860 Yeah.

00:05:33.560 Bring up some of that Asian skincare.

00:05:36.760 There's lots of stuff, man.

00:05:37.980 They put snail, that snail juice, you know, and a snail crawls.

00:05:41.880 It leaves behind like a trail of goo.

00:05:44.540 Yeah.

00:05:44.760 They put that shit on their skin.

00:05:45.980 No way.

00:05:46.600 Look at that woman.

00:05:47.860 She's, like, glowing.

00:05:49.720 Look at that.

00:05:50.440 Oh, they got some poor lamb Asians over there.

00:05:52.860 You know what I'm saying?

00:05:53.920 Yeah.

00:05:55.140 Yeah, that's why I think they already...

00:05:56.980 Some people look dead already because they just are preserved.

00:06:00.580 Yeah.

00:06:01.300 Preserved well.

00:06:02.140 Bring up that snail juice thing.

00:06:03.580 I want to see that.

00:06:04.200 Can we get something about that?

00:06:05.160 You have to Google snail mucin.

00:06:07.080 M-U-C-I-N.

00:06:09.220 Yeah.

00:06:09.460 That's why I have a joke about this that I do in my act that it's hard to find Asian pedophiles

00:06:15.120 because, you know, they all look like they're 12, but they're actually 35, you know?

00:06:19.780 Yeah, yeah.

00:06:19.900 Why would you take the risk on an illegal one, you know?

00:06:22.640 Oh, yeah.

00:06:23.300 You'll find you just molesting yourself.

00:06:25.240 Yeah, just molesting your people.

00:06:26.760 Yeah.

00:06:26.920 And then you're like, oh, shit.

00:06:28.420 They look 16.

00:06:30.020 Advanced...

00:06:30.420 Yeah, that kind of thing.

00:06:32.100 Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.

00:06:35.360 Lightweight essence which absorbs into the skin fast to give skin a natural glow from the inside.

00:06:40.640 This essence is created from nutritious, low-stimulation, filtered snail mucin to keep your skin moisturized

00:06:47.480 and illuminated all day.

00:06:49.720 Wow.

00:06:50.160 Yeah, it's good marketing writing, right?

00:06:52.980 Yeah.

00:06:53.320 I don't know how real it is.

00:06:55.120 How do you know it's actually snail mucin?

00:06:57.760 You know?

00:06:58.020 It could just be water and sugar and cornstarch.

00:07:01.880 Oh, yeah.

00:07:02.340 They could have anything in there.

00:07:03.680 They could have...

00:07:03.820 Yeah, they don't do that kind of shit.

00:07:06.100 I think that's...

00:07:06.900 Yeah.

00:07:08.260 That's very Asian right there.

00:07:10.720 No, it's a white woman doing it.

00:07:12.760 Yeah, but we learned it from you guys.

00:07:14.980 I mean, that is cheekbone sashimi.

00:07:16.560 That's true.

00:07:17.300 That's true.

00:07:18.060 We bring a lot to the world.

00:07:19.360 Oh, that's so wild.

00:07:20.660 So, that's a real thing that people are buying this.

00:07:23.840 And how much does it go for?

00:07:25.120 Give me how much for a quart of it.

00:07:27.500 Oh, CVS has it.

00:07:29.100 Nuh-uh.

00:07:29.480 Go get some later.

00:07:30.880 Really?

00:07:33.140 $24.99.

00:07:34.640 $24.99 for over seven and a half ounces, huh?

00:07:37.080 Yeah.

00:07:37.380 You don't need it.

00:07:37.920 You have good skin, man.

00:07:38.780 I'm okay, but, you know, everybody wants to do a little bit more.

00:07:42.500 But how do you even farm it out of them?

00:07:44.140 Do you follow right behind them with a little scooper?

00:07:46.600 I don't know, man.

00:07:47.720 Maybe they just have a whole cage full of snails and...

00:07:50.200 Oh, and maybe it's like the floor has a...

00:07:51.840 And then it just drips down into a bucket or something.

00:07:54.100 That's correct.

00:07:56.360 I haven't thought of...

00:07:57.320 I haven't thought of this.

00:07:59.180 Forcing snail to release mucin through harsh treatment like dunking them in salt water.

00:08:03.660 No way.

00:08:04.380 That's very mean.

00:08:05.760 This was probably taught by a lot of the forces in Vietnam.

00:08:11.020 Some of this is illegal.

00:08:12.280 Some of the...

00:08:12.880 Go back to it.

00:08:14.080 Some of the...

00:08:14.600 This is considered waterboarding.

00:08:16.100 I think snail mucin, a popular skincare ingredient, is collected from live snails through various

00:08:21.180 methods, some more humane than others.

00:08:24.100 Traditional methods involve forcing snails to release mucin through harsh treatment like

00:08:29.220 dunking them in salt water or chemicals.

00:08:31.600 It's like killing a whole family just so someone can have like smoother skin.

00:08:34.900 Oh.

00:08:36.120 Many companies now use methods like gentle stimulation or allowing snails to naturally excrete mucin

00:08:41.500 on mesh nets, ensuring their well-being.

00:08:44.320 Wow.

00:08:44.880 What's gentle stimulation for a snail, you know?

00:08:47.300 I think just a little...

00:08:48.560 A little fingering action on...

00:08:51.200 Just petting?

00:08:52.080 Petting.

00:08:52.820 Heavy petting.

00:08:53.560 Maybe listening to some...

00:08:55.180 What's a popular Malaysian love musician?

00:08:58.900 We don't really have...

00:08:59.900 We don't really have that.

00:09:02.880 You can use an American musician.

00:09:04.820 I'll probably...

00:09:05.380 Marvin Gaye, I guess.

00:09:07.040 Okay, yes.

00:09:07.180 You can play some Marvin Gaye.

00:09:08.500 Some Malarvin Gaye.

00:09:10.740 Is that fair?

00:09:11.960 Yeah.

00:09:12.400 Yeah.

00:09:12.740 Yeah.

00:09:12.920 Yeah.

00:09:13.180 If we had some Malarvin Gaye.

00:09:16.300 Yeah.

00:09:16.980 And we played that, that would be beautiful.

00:09:18.760 Let's get it on.

00:09:20.060 Yeah.

00:09:20.400 And you're just touching that snail's back.

00:09:22.380 Yeah.

00:09:22.980 Yeah.

00:09:23.460 A few snails.

00:09:24.160 It's not just one.

00:09:24.840 Yeah, it's true.

00:09:25.500 You can't just four play with one snail.

00:09:27.920 Yeah.

00:09:28.180 That's weird.

00:09:29.000 They move too slow.

00:09:30.980 Yeah.

00:09:31.340 Yeah.

00:09:31.580 You got to get a little batch.

00:09:33.000 It's like, you know how that chess movie where the one person is playing against 10 chess

00:09:37.280 masters, whereas you against 10 snails just...

00:09:39.660 Oh, yeah.

00:09:40.900 You just play...

00:09:41.340 It's almost like one of those...

00:09:42.720 It's like that thing where those things are dropping and you're catching them, you know?

00:09:45.860 Yeah.

00:09:46.160 Yeah.

00:09:46.980 I like it.

00:09:47.940 Nigel, good to see you, man.

00:09:49.160 Good to see you too, man.

00:09:50.060 Thank you for all of the entertainment, man.

00:09:51.800 You definitely...

00:09:52.540 I make too many videos, man.

00:09:54.740 That's the life of a YouTube person, you know?

00:09:57.220 It is, huh?

00:09:58.060 Yeah.

00:09:58.700 I got my start.

00:09:59.380 I started doing stand-up 2010, 2011.

00:10:02.980 You had a special that came out a few years ago, right?

00:10:05.180 Yeah.

00:10:05.400 Yeah.

00:10:05.760 Yeah.

00:10:06.040 I did release it on Moment House.

00:10:08.300 Yeah.

00:10:08.680 Have you used that platform before?

00:10:09.820 You just sell tickets, people buy it, and they watch it.

00:10:11.940 Uh-oh.

00:10:12.300 Yeah.

00:10:12.600 But I'm going to whack it on my YouTube eventually.

00:10:14.620 Moment House?

00:10:15.340 Yeah.

00:10:15.680 Yeah.

00:10:15.880 Is it live performance on Moment House or is it you just tape it, put it up,

00:10:19.920 and then there's a premiere?

00:10:20.980 Yeah.

00:10:21.520 Yeah.

00:10:21.760 Something like that.

00:10:22.480 I think Andrew Schultz did it here.

00:10:24.240 Oh, that's right.

00:10:25.140 Yeah.

00:10:25.160 That kind of thing.

00:10:26.100 And you started...

00:10:26.920 So were you born in Malaysia?

00:10:28.880 Yeah.

00:10:29.200 Yeah.

00:10:29.380 I was born in Malaysia, and then I went to live there for 20 years of my life.

00:10:33.380 Then I went to university.

00:10:34.440 I went to Northwestern in Illinois near Chicago.

00:10:36.880 Oh, yeah.

00:10:37.500 Yeah.

00:10:37.860 And then I moved to the UK for a few years, for eight years, and I'm back here in LA.

00:10:42.880 What are Malaysian...

00:10:44.160 Because I don't know a ton about the Malay, right?

00:10:46.260 Yeah.

00:10:46.660 Yeah.

00:10:46.940 Me neither, really.

00:10:48.100 You don't?

00:10:48.980 You know, you have so many different races there, you know?

00:10:52.380 In Malaysia?

00:10:53.100 Yeah.

00:10:53.320 There's Chinese Malaysian, which I'm that, Malay Malaysians, and Indian Malaysians.

00:10:58.840 And we don't really mix.

00:10:59.640 We're pretty segregated, you know?

00:11:00.820 Really?

00:11:01.380 Yeah.

00:11:01.960 So there's beef between what type of Malaysian you are?

00:11:04.680 There's no beef.

00:11:05.660 We just don't really care as much if you're not part of the group.

00:11:09.180 Oh, I see.

00:11:09.700 But it's very peaceful.

00:11:11.100 It's very peaceful.

00:11:11.820 Yeah.

00:11:12.580 Yeah.

00:11:12.780 So it's not violent, but it's still like...

00:11:14.760 You just kind of stick with your tribe.

00:11:16.060 Yeah.

00:11:16.540 Yeah.

00:11:16.820 We try to venture out, but, you know, sometimes it's hard to eat different things,

00:11:21.280 and there are limitations to what Malaysians can eat, you know?

00:11:24.040 Oh, Malaysians can't eat everything?

00:11:25.640 Yeah.

00:11:25.920 Well, Malay Malaysians are Muslim.

00:11:28.780 They're Muslim?

00:11:29.320 Yeah.

00:11:29.700 Oh, wow.

00:11:30.200 So they can't eat pork, right?

00:11:31.680 And also in Malaysia, certain restaurants need to be halal certified for Malay people

00:11:37.700 to eat in.

00:11:38.420 If a Malay person is caught eating at a non-halal restaurant, depending on where you are,

00:11:43.580 it could be, you know, you could get into trouble, basically.

00:11:47.420 Yeah.

00:11:47.920 So there's those little things.

00:11:49.760 But we, overall, we're pretty peaceful, and we like each other.

00:11:52.920 You like each other, but every now and then there's a little bit of Mongolian beef with

00:11:56.160 each other.

00:11:56.540 Yeah.

00:11:57.400 Yeah, I feel that.

00:11:58.560 I've had that.

00:11:59.420 Yeah, yeah.

00:11:59.960 It's okay.

00:12:00.740 It's okay.

00:12:01.200 It's bad.

00:12:01.680 American Chinese shit.

00:12:03.140 It's travesty.

00:12:03.940 It's something you just, it's something you fill your jaw with while you look at through

00:12:07.140 Target, you know?

00:12:07.840 It's nice at an airport, you know?

00:12:09.400 You get an airport Panda Express, you know, it's the best thing there.

00:12:13.100 Yeah, it's good, but it's a lot of sugar, though.

00:12:15.580 Yeah, sugar's good.

00:12:16.600 But sugar, yeah.

00:12:17.240 You like sugar, come on.

00:12:18.120 I like it, but I just know it doesn't, I know it's secretly plotting against me.

00:12:22.860 That's what I feel like.

00:12:23.900 Really?

00:12:24.280 Sugar is plotting against you?

00:12:25.580 Well, I feel like it gets in your system, and it knows it's going to win.

00:12:28.820 Because it's like a deteriorate.

00:12:31.160 Deteriorate.

00:12:32.120 Deteriorate.

00:12:32.640 It deteriorates you.

00:12:34.280 Yeah.

00:12:34.880 Well, most things do, though.

00:12:36.220 Most things that taste good are deteriorates, you know?

00:12:39.440 Yeah.

00:12:39.560 Cholesterol, fats, butter, olive oil.

00:12:42.940 Yeah.

00:12:43.480 Yeah.

00:12:44.100 Even vagina, that'll ruin your life.

00:12:46.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:12:48.420 It ruins your time, really.

00:12:50.760 Just chasing vagina all the time.

00:12:52.920 I'm glad I'm out of that phase of my life now.

00:12:55.080 Yeah, that's what I heard.

00:12:55.900 I heard that you got married, you're married a couple years now.

00:12:58.660 Well, I'm engaged a couple years now, but I'm getting married in July.

00:13:02.940 Oh, you're getting married in July.

00:13:03.800 In two months.

00:13:04.440 Yeah.

00:13:04.840 No way.

00:13:06.040 And so is this a traditional Malaysian wedding?

00:13:08.440 No, no, we're doing it in Europe.

00:13:09.860 My fiancé is American.

00:13:11.640 She's from Miami.

00:13:12.680 Well, South Florida.

00:13:13.820 Okay.

00:13:14.380 You know?

00:13:14.920 And was it scary for you to choose a fiancé?

00:13:17.920 How had dating been like for you in your life?

00:13:20.840 Well, I've been married before.

00:13:22.600 Yeah.

00:13:23.380 Married young, divorced young.

00:13:25.120 Do you have to get-

00:13:25.740 I recommend that.

00:13:26.320 Get that out of the way.

00:13:27.180 You know, that's my fiancé.

00:13:29.040 Nigel Ung.

00:13:30.100 Nigel Ung.

00:13:30.740 Yeah.

00:13:31.380 Sorry.

00:13:31.980 No worries.

00:13:32.240 YouTube's Uncle Roger shares photos from engagement shoot with fiancé Sabrina.

00:13:35.700 Oh, beautiful couple.

00:13:37.180 Yeah.

00:13:38.320 She's cute.

00:13:39.280 Congratulations.

00:13:39.680 I think I did well.

00:13:40.940 Yeah.

00:13:41.820 So I got her.

00:13:43.360 I was like, lock it in.

00:13:44.460 You know?

00:13:45.020 Can't do any better than that.

00:13:46.640 So let's lock it in.

00:13:48.000 That's when men lock it in.

00:13:49.380 They're like, this is it.

00:13:50.540 Yep.

00:13:51.340 She's nice.

00:13:52.120 She's hot.

00:13:52.900 She's smart.

00:13:53.780 All right.

00:13:54.540 Let's do it.

00:13:55.560 Yeah.

00:13:56.400 Way better than the previous one, you know?

00:13:58.340 Oh, really?

00:13:59.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:13:59.800 No, the previous one, she was fine.

00:14:01.460 But she just grew apart, you know?

00:14:04.200 It didn't fit.

00:14:04.740 Well, I was really doing stand-up hardcore at the time, and it just takes a toll on your

00:14:09.560 relationships, right?

00:14:10.360 Oh, yeah.

00:14:10.600 You can't have a relationship.

00:14:11.520 If you're doing stand-up, I think it's impossible, you know?

00:14:13.600 Yeah.

00:14:13.800 Because also the hours that you're out, it's very like...

00:14:17.020 And I had a day job, too.

00:14:18.440 So I was like nine to five at the day job.

00:14:20.940 Then I was doing this, all this in the UK.

00:14:23.320 Okay.

00:14:23.520 So after my day job finishes, I'll just take a long train up to Birmingham or something,

00:14:27.860 the middle of the UK from London, two-hour train, do my set, come back, arrive home

00:14:31.780 at one.

00:14:33.000 All I see her is sleeping.

00:14:34.540 She just sees me sleeping.

00:14:35.500 I see her sleeping.

00:14:36.660 And then seven years later, hey, we're not the same person anymore.

00:14:39.800 Okay.

00:14:40.280 Who would have guessed?

00:14:41.040 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:41.760 Yeah, we're awake.

00:14:42.920 Yeah, we're awake.

00:14:43.700 And I don't like you when we're awake.

00:14:48.240 That's an issue with a lot of marriages, I think.

00:14:51.620 Go to bed.

00:14:52.500 I like you more when you're unconscious.

00:14:57.280 In Malaysia, is it popular?

00:14:59.580 And sorry, because we've never had a Malaysian guest.

00:15:01.520 You should get Ronnie Chang next.

00:15:03.120 He's Malaysian, too.

00:15:04.260 I've messaged about it.

00:15:05.740 He's so funny.

00:15:06.500 We got to do it.

00:15:07.220 He's Malaysian?

00:15:07.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:15:08.800 Oh, so some people keeping secret then, because I didn't know that.

00:15:12.360 Yeah.

00:15:12.860 But I would love to see...

00:15:15.140 In Malaysia, I just want to learn about a little bit of the tradition of the place.

00:15:19.500 Okay, let's do it.

00:15:20.400 Do you have to...

00:15:21.960 Is it arranged marriage, or what is dating like there?

00:15:24.520 No, it's not arranged at all.

00:15:25.680 Okay.

00:15:25.980 Yeah, you've got to find someone.

00:15:27.340 We've got incels there, too.

00:15:28.980 You know, arranged marriages would be a great solution to the incel problem, wouldn't it?

00:15:32.240 And when incels, you say, what do you mean?

00:15:34.120 People...

00:15:34.360 Incels, you know, the...

00:15:35.260 Like gamers or whatever?

00:15:36.640 They can be incels, some of them.

00:15:38.420 Yeah.

00:15:38.620 There's a whole movement, isn't there, on the Reddit people, the...

00:15:41.980 Right.

00:15:42.120 I call it blue pill, red pill, black pill, something pill.

00:15:45.380 The incels who, they can't get laid, and then they start hating on women, that kind of thing.

00:15:49.540 Oh, yeah.

00:15:50.400 Yeah.

00:15:50.860 But no, no, in Malaysia, it's all...

00:15:52.380 It's not arranged.

00:15:53.060 You have to arrange it for yourself.

00:15:54.740 Yeah, their gamer tag is like, these whores are ruining everything.

00:15:58.100 6,000 or whatever?

00:15:59.100 Yeah, I'm going to go to Thailand to sleep with some hoes, you know?

00:16:01.220 Yeah.

00:16:01.800 Oh, that kind of thing.

00:16:02.660 Yeah, but that's not...

00:16:03.360 We don't really have that either.

00:16:04.840 That's why I'm saying in Malaysia, there's not much to do.

00:16:06.740 In Thailand, there's beaches.

00:16:08.860 There's the red light district.

00:16:11.020 Bali, there's beaches and, you know, other places have other things.

00:16:14.620 Vietnam has the beaches and hoes, really, all of Asia, really.

00:16:20.580 Except for Malaysia.

00:16:21.640 So, we're a bit boring.

00:16:23.060 And why is there a different...

00:16:24.720 Do they outlaw that kind of stuff there?

00:16:26.500 So, they must have...

00:16:27.460 Because it seems like you would just keep a stricter...

00:16:30.940 Yeah, why don't they have that prostitution and stuff like that?

00:16:34.300 Or just put some people to say hoes, fun hoes, whatever.

00:16:37.380 Fun money hoes.

00:16:38.140 It's probably the religion thing.

00:16:39.240 It's majority Muslim in Malaysia.

00:16:41.300 So, maybe that's frowned upon a little bit more.

00:16:44.320 I'm sure you can find some.

00:16:45.740 Maybe some, like, sugar baby type arrangement.

00:16:49.060 Right.

00:16:49.540 Yeah, but I've never looked into it.

00:16:50.820 Like secret hoes, secret hoes.

00:16:52.460 Oh, there's an app for that.

00:16:53.920 I think it's called Sugar Book.

00:16:55.500 Sugar Book?

00:16:56.040 Yeah.

00:16:56.500 Look it up.

00:16:57.100 It's a big app in Asia.

00:16:59.180 And I know this app exists in Malaysia.

00:17:02.800 So, it's like a dating app.

00:17:04.180 Let's see it.

00:17:04.720 But, you know, where romance meets finance.

00:17:06.600 There you go.

00:17:07.200 Where romance meets finance.

00:17:08.600 Oh, definitely.

00:17:09.760 I mean, what about $40 a week?

00:17:13.660 It goes far, man.

00:17:14.880 It does.

00:17:15.340 It goes to money.

00:17:16.160 The US dollar goes far in Asia.

00:17:17.960 Dude, what if our podcast, we sponsored a couple of sugar...

00:17:21.500 We book some sugar.

00:17:24.180 Let's book some sugar.

00:17:25.220 It's a deterrent, you know?

00:17:26.580 It is.

00:17:27.960 Slowly claw away at you.

00:17:29.660 Oh, definitely.

00:17:30.460 I can see it ruining a lot of things.

00:17:32.360 How many episodes of a pod you put out a week is going to get that number way down, man.

00:17:37.260 But what if we book some sugar, right?

00:17:39.520 Yeah.

00:17:39.940 And we just support it.

00:17:41.180 And every now and then, they just check in.

00:17:42.460 But they don't have to do anything sexual.

00:17:44.500 We have them maybe get a good hobby.

00:17:46.600 Yeah.

00:17:46.900 Maybe help around the neighborhood, clean up, pick up trash or something.

00:17:50.300 That would be nice.

00:17:51.060 I'm sure they'll be down.

00:17:52.500 This is safer than, you know, you know that the OnlyFans model will fly to Dubai and they get shat on.

00:17:59.260 Yeah.

00:17:59.560 You know, that sugar book is a safer alternative, you know?

00:18:02.960 Oh, I'm a huge sugar book fan all of a sudden.

00:18:05.320 Yeah.

00:18:05.920 I think it's good.

00:18:06.440 But I would love to look into, Nick, maybe the price of if we could sponsor a couple of good women, sugar, sugar, sugary, sugar girls.

00:18:18.560 I think a grand a month.

00:18:20.100 Ooh, that's a lot.

00:18:20.960 That's a lot.

00:18:21.880 I mean, you said it goes far over there, dude.

00:18:24.180 I'm talking 80, maybe 120 a month.

00:18:26.840 Okay, you would get a different quality of a woman for 80.

00:18:29.120 But that's okay.

00:18:31.200 But would it be great to sponsor that lady?

00:18:33.040 Let her just say, hey, take the week off.

00:18:35.340 Yeah.

00:18:35.600 Go relax, go for a run or something.

00:18:37.820 Okay.

00:18:38.380 Yeah, that would be good.

00:18:39.160 Sign up for something.

00:18:40.200 That would be great.

00:18:41.040 And we could support the infrastructure over there.

00:18:43.320 Yeah.

00:18:43.860 Is family big over there?

00:18:45.480 Is that like a big thing?

00:18:46.480 What's it like there that you notice that's different between Malaysia and US or UK culture?

00:18:52.020 I think it's really the difference between Asia and the West, really.

00:18:57.120 Family is big.

00:18:58.040 People live with their parents and it's socially acceptable to do that.

00:19:01.660 Right.

00:19:01.920 And then when the parents get old, we don't really send them to homes, you know?

00:19:05.400 We bring them into our own home.

00:19:07.800 Oh, yeah.

00:19:08.180 Instead of sending them to a nursing home.

00:19:09.920 It's better, huh?

00:19:10.600 It's nice, I think.

00:19:12.100 Yeah.

00:19:12.620 But what I like about the West is everybody is so confident and they have an opinion and

00:19:18.860 they're not afraid to express it.

00:19:20.180 And sometimes in Asia, because we are taught a little bit more just obey, obey, obey, you

00:19:26.180 don't really have that confidence and that assertiveness.

00:19:29.720 And sometimes that doesn't work well here.

00:19:31.140 If you're an Asian person in the West and you have a corporate job and you just keep to

00:19:35.060 yourself, you miss out on promotions because you're just not, you know, speaking enough

00:19:39.300 and not bullshitting enough and not, you know, building that social relationship enough.

00:19:43.220 Yeah.

00:19:43.680 Yeah.

00:19:44.220 And do Asian people want to say more?

00:19:46.240 Like, do they have a feeling inside of them where like, I want to speak up, but I don't

00:19:50.580 think it's appropriate or is it, I'm afraid, or it's just not part of their natural capability?

00:19:58.800 I think it's all those things.

00:20:00.340 I think it's cultural.

00:20:01.340 It's like, I'm afraid.

00:20:02.500 Why don't I just mind my own business?

00:20:04.420 You know, put your head down and work hard.

00:20:06.800 Sometimes that doesn't work out well, you know, you can't just put your head down.

00:20:09.840 You got to put your head up and look at the world and talk some shit.

00:20:13.960 Oh, yeah, dude.

00:20:15.040 That's what standup is, right?

00:20:16.340 Yeah.

00:20:16.700 Oh, you have your head down for a half hour.

00:20:18.280 Somebody will start fucking you around here, you know?

00:20:20.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:21.600 It's a dangerous area.

00:20:22.560 You have to have your head down.

00:20:23.540 Oh, yeah.

00:20:24.100 Some freaking Narcan monkey will start freaking jacking you from the back over there, you

00:20:28.740 know?

00:20:29.120 Yeah.

00:20:29.620 So it's definitely, you got to have your head up, man.

00:20:32.480 Yeah.

00:20:32.940 Is there something, do you think that Americans could do to better support Asian people?

00:20:38.200 Like, to, like, ask more?

00:20:40.200 Like, is there something, like, you know what I'm saying?

00:20:41.940 Like, because sometimes there's never this communication about how cultures should interact and we're

00:20:45.700 all just left to figure it out.

00:20:46.920 Like, you ask me, like, I'm the leader of all the Asians.

00:20:50.720 But you can.

00:20:52.200 The door's been opened for many moons.

00:20:54.520 Anybody can come, right?

00:20:56.620 I mean, just come legally.

00:20:58.320 I hear they're cracking down on that a little bit.

00:21:01.040 You know?

00:21:01.700 Yeah, but...

00:21:02.320 Just wipe your phone, you know?

00:21:03.860 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:04.780 Wipe your phone before you come.

00:21:06.120 What can you do?

00:21:07.200 Honestly, I enjoy living in LA because I feel like the Asian food here is probably some

00:21:12.860 of the best in the world.

00:21:13.900 Maybe New York is better.

00:21:15.040 I don't know.

00:21:15.480 But here, I just drive 20 minutes to San Gabriel Valley and that's all the Chinese and Taiwanese

00:21:20.380 people.

00:21:21.380 And there's Koreatown, a 10-minute drive from me, that little Tokyo.

00:21:24.980 You just...

00:21:25.720 I like that.

00:21:26.520 Just don't fuck with us.

00:21:27.700 Let us do our thing.

00:21:28.860 Okay.

00:21:29.140 And everybody's happy, you know?

00:21:30.480 Just enjoy?

00:21:31.300 Just enjoy.

00:21:32.020 Enjoy our food.

00:21:33.060 Enjoy the food?

00:21:33.720 Yeah.

00:21:34.240 It's great food.

00:21:34.940 Yeah, it's a lot of good stuff, man.

00:21:35.960 It's not like when I do the Laugh Factory, they just don't let me on because I'm Asian.

00:21:40.020 Really?

00:21:40.280 So I feel like I get the...

00:21:41.260 No, no, no.

00:21:41.740 They don't do that.

00:21:42.700 Oh.

00:21:42.940 I get the same opportunities, I think.

00:21:44.620 So unorganized over there.

00:21:46.640 Oh.

00:21:46.800 It seems like...

00:21:47.440 I hate to say that, but everybody's been saying it, but...

00:21:50.880 They've been good to me, you know?

00:21:52.040 They've been good to you.

00:21:52.560 I like the audiences there because it's like you get such a tourist crowd, right?

00:21:56.540 Oh, it's a good point.

00:21:56.760 So I feel like I'm playing to all of America, you know?

00:22:00.180 West Coast, East Coast, middle.

00:22:02.040 Yeah.

00:22:02.280 Everywhere.

00:22:02.760 The South.

00:22:03.900 And I think if a joke works there, you know it can take it on the road with you.

00:22:07.640 Yeah, it's a good point.

00:22:08.520 I think one thing that makes it tough in there is the lighting, the way the lighting...

00:22:11.620 Like the whole room is kind of lit up.

00:22:13.360 Yeah.

00:22:13.800 And so I think it creates an ambiance there sometimes where the audience is more involved

00:22:18.720 in the show.

00:22:19.780 That's true.

00:22:20.200 You can see everyone.

00:22:21.400 Right.

00:22:21.540 And then they feel like they're supposed to be involved because they're kind of not protected

00:22:24.680 from this like the...

00:22:25.820 You know, because usually the audience is kind of in the dark.

00:22:28.680 Yeah.

00:22:29.220 Yeah.

00:22:29.500 I see that.

00:22:30.440 And so Asian families, Malaysian families, a lot of times you'll live at home.

00:22:35.240 Yeah.

00:22:35.600 It's common.

00:22:36.280 Yeah.

00:22:36.400 More common than here.

00:22:37.720 That's cool, man.

00:22:38.680 And right now in LA, hopefully, you know, if things go well, I can buy a slightly bigger

00:22:42.760 house with an ADU, then fly my mom over, you know, let her stay with us for a few months.

00:22:48.020 Oh, like an ADU is like a what?

00:22:49.920 Additional dwelling unit.

00:22:51.640 Oh, okay.

00:22:52.180 So like a separate guest house.

00:22:53.820 Like a casita or something.

00:22:55.040 A casita.

00:22:56.260 Yeah.

00:22:56.500 The accessory dwelling unit.

00:22:57.540 Accessory dwelling unit.

00:22:58.480 Secondary residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a primary residence.

00:23:02.460 Yeah.

00:23:03.080 And so essentially a smaller separate living space.

00:23:05.260 So a smaller house for the mom and the mother-in-law with their own kitchen, because Asian cooking

00:23:11.400 can stink up a house.

00:23:13.180 It's delicious.

00:23:13.860 But during the cooking process, it smells.

00:23:16.200 It's bad?

00:23:16.900 It's bad.

00:23:17.740 It smells bad, but it tastes good.

00:23:19.500 Why?

00:23:19.980 What are some of the, is it because it's a lot of, I'm guessing, fish maybe or cabbage?

00:23:23.640 Shrimp paste.

00:23:24.280 Ooh, God.

00:23:24.860 Yeah.

00:23:25.440 And then pepper paste.

00:23:26.840 A lot of pork.

00:23:28.020 You know how you cook bacon, the whole house smells like bacon?

00:23:30.380 Yeah.

00:23:30.820 A lot of pork, a lot of garlic, shrimp paste.

00:23:33.680 You know, sometimes fermented shrimp paste.

00:23:36.040 Ooh, why?

00:23:36.580 Fish sauces.

00:23:37.520 But why?

00:23:38.000 But why?

00:23:38.680 Why?

00:23:39.340 Why?

00:23:39.560 It tastes good, man.

00:23:40.660 Yeah.

00:23:40.920 It tastes good.

00:23:41.580 It adds a different sort of flavor.

00:23:43.540 It adds this thing called umami to your food.

00:23:45.800 Hmm.

00:23:46.400 Yeah.

00:23:46.900 Try it.

00:23:47.660 Umami means what?

00:23:48.780 Umami is like, you know how the tongue can taste like four flavors, sweet, sour, salty,

00:23:54.700 and bitter?

00:23:55.460 Umami is like the fifth flavor.

00:23:58.480 It's a meaty, meaty savoriness.

00:24:01.200 Yeah.

00:24:01.860 Umami is one of the five basic taste sensations, along with a sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

00:24:06.520 Yeah.

00:24:06.920 And is often described as a savory or meaty flavor.

00:24:09.760 Hmm.

00:24:10.240 Cheese has a lot of it.

00:24:11.600 See?

00:24:12.060 Cheese.

00:24:12.380 So when you eat pizza, that's why it's so good, you know?

00:24:15.460 Oh, it is perceived through taste receptors that respond to compounds like glutamate,

00:24:19.780 inosinate, and guanylate.

00:24:25.080 Yeah.

00:24:25.440 Which are abundant in foods such as meat, cheese, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

00:24:29.780 Yeah.

00:24:30.360 I'll bring you around some Asian restaurants.

00:24:32.740 Food is my thing, you know?

00:24:33.860 I do comedy about food now.

00:24:35.320 Yeah, yeah.

00:24:35.840 Oh, yeah.

00:24:36.240 I know.

00:24:36.740 I gotta, I wanna get into some of that.

00:24:38.540 I wanna ask you, I'm just trying to get a little bit more idea.

00:24:41.840 Of Malaysia.

00:24:42.740 Just of what it feels like to be in Malaysia, because you don't hear a ton about it.

00:24:45.880 Yeah.

00:24:46.360 And the biggest thing you heard about probably is the plane that you guys lost.

00:24:49.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:24:50.320 We're still lost, man.

00:24:51.440 Is it really?

00:24:51.880 I still can't find it.

00:24:53.120 Ugh.

00:24:53.620 It's crazy.

00:24:54.460 What's the word over there?

00:24:55.400 Bring that up, Malaysian 370.

00:24:56.900 What's going on with it?

00:24:57.760 I think, and the most, I've gone into a rabbit hole about this.

00:25:01.000 Yeah.

00:25:01.100 And also, Kathleen Madigan, she's a comic here, and she has the best bit.

00:25:05.080 If you wanna get the best stand-up routine about Malaysian Airlines, go search Kathleen

00:25:08.760 Madigan, MH370.

00:25:10.460 Okay.

00:25:10.660 But my theory is the pilot wanted to kill himself, and so he just, because of the way the plane

00:25:19.360 swerved, the path the plane took, it swerved past his hometown first, before riding off

00:25:26.380 into the Indian Ocean.

00:25:27.380 So he just swerved past his hometown, just take one last peek.

00:25:30.300 One look.

00:25:30.560 But by that point, all the passengers on the plane were already unconscious.

00:25:36.080 Really, going to the pressure?

00:25:37.080 Yeah, he depressurized the plane, but then the cockpit, the pressure stays on for a little

00:25:42.460 bit longer, so he was just taking one last peek at his hometown, and then just driving

00:25:46.280 off into the sunset and ocean.

00:25:48.540 It's almost kind of...

00:25:49.840 It's romantic.

00:25:50.720 That's what I was gonna say.

00:25:51.360 Don't give them any ideas, man.

00:25:52.560 United Airlines don't need to hear this.

00:25:54.100 I hate to say this, but it sounds a little bit romantic.

00:25:58.100 Yeah, let's play one clip right here.

00:25:59.360 What do we have?

00:26:00.060 Yeah.

00:26:01.300 A disturbing reason for the plane's disappearance.

00:26:04.000 On and off search efforts have failed to locate the plane, which disappeared with 239 people

00:26:10.680 on board more than four years ago.

00:26:13.160 60 Minutes Australia brought together an international group of aviation experts who say that the

00:26:18.280 plane's pilot crashed the flight intentionally.

00:26:22.120 Joining me now to discuss the report is CBS News, the contributor and former chairman of the

00:26:26.220 National Transportation Safety Board.

00:26:27.460 For sure, and it looks like he probably shorted the...

00:26:31.100 The Malaysia Airlines talk.

00:26:32.540 He definitely is, dude.

00:26:35.020 First, the flight path that was reconstructed using military radar.

00:26:39.140 What was suspicious about that?

00:26:41.180 Well, the plan showed that he was going in and out of various countries between Thailand

00:26:49.160 and Malaysia.

00:26:51.120 One would have thought, based on that pattern, that someone would have sent up some military

00:26:57.440 aircraft to look at them.

00:26:59.240 But according to the television experts, they said he did this on purpose to evade the military

00:27:06.780 radar.

00:27:08.280 Well, one of the experts...

00:27:09.520 Well, it's kind of boring.

00:27:10.480 Yeah.

00:27:10.960 Yeah.

00:27:11.480 What do you expect, you know?

00:27:12.700 Yeah, what do you expect?

00:27:13.360 And it's like people like something...

00:27:15.300 It's like hide and go seek.

00:27:16.440 They never found the guy and people are just wondering, where are you?

00:27:18.920 We find like a part of a wing every two years.

00:27:22.080 Ooh.

00:27:22.540 You know, it's like a little fun little treasure hunt.

00:27:24.900 Yeah.

00:27:25.180 It comes up.

00:27:25.880 I keep track of this, man.

00:27:27.260 This is my true crime.

00:27:28.760 Oh, it is.

00:27:29.360 You know?

00:27:29.740 It's the only thing people know us for and I love it.

00:27:32.640 But also, in a way, it's almost beautiful.

00:27:34.520 Like a place so...

00:27:35.720 Like...

00:27:36.280 It almost makes it mystical in a way.

00:27:39.340 Malaysia.

00:27:40.020 Yeah.

00:27:40.240 Oh, thanks.

00:27:40.880 You know, the biggest thing that when my fiancee, when she traveled to Malaysia for the first

00:27:45.900 time, she's American, right?

00:27:46.800 So, the biggest thing she noticed is she told me she's never seen Muslim people who look

00:27:52.020 Asian.

00:27:53.080 I would say that is the biggest, not culture shock, but the biggest observation you'll

00:27:57.240 get.

00:27:57.460 They look like me, but they're Muslim.

00:27:59.460 Oh, that's a surprise.

00:28:00.560 Yeah.

00:28:00.940 Yeah.

00:28:01.200 Over in the US, you don't see none of that.

00:28:02.740 No.

00:28:02.980 You see nothing like that.

00:28:04.060 Yeah.

00:28:04.460 Yeah.

00:28:04.700 You see...

00:28:05.900 A lot of people call Muslims Slims or whatever.

00:28:08.320 It's like a nickname.

00:28:09.500 Slims?

00:28:10.000 Yeah.

00:28:10.220 It's like a good...

00:28:11.220 It's like a new...

00:28:12.300 I don't want to say racial slur, but it is what it is.

00:28:14.260 It sounds like it, almost.

00:28:15.680 One syllable, you know?

00:28:17.360 Just...

00:28:17.640 Yeah, look at these Slims, right?

00:28:18.680 Yeah, look at these Slims.

00:28:19.540 But I like it.

00:28:20.380 I like...

00:28:20.980 You know, Muslims are definitely really interesting.

00:28:23.580 I've been learning more.

00:28:23.880 The Muslims in Malaysia, you know...

00:28:25.160 Well, everybody in Malaysia, they're not slim, though.

00:28:27.440 We are like a fat country, man.

00:28:28.680 Oh, it's a fat country, huh?

00:28:29.280 Yeah, we're catching up to you guys.

00:28:30.640 Oh, fat...

00:28:31.540 Yeah, yeah.

00:28:32.140 And people die early or what?

00:28:33.320 How long are people living over there in Malaysia?

00:28:35.240 Put up a...

00:28:35.620 Bring up a corpse.

00:28:36.460 Not a corpse.

00:28:37.180 Bring up a website.

00:28:38.580 Bring up a link.

00:28:39.960 We love our sugary foods.

00:28:41.580 We love our fatty foods.

00:28:43.200 That's why.

00:28:44.480 People fat dying.

00:28:46.040 Yeah.

00:28:46.600 Fat dying.

00:28:47.900 That'd be a name of somebody I feel like.

00:28:49.740 Fat dying.

00:28:50.360 Fat dying.

00:28:51.080 That's a Vietnamese name.

00:28:52.000 P-H-A-T-D-A-E-N-G or something.

00:28:55.420 Fat dying.

00:28:56.980 Malaysia.

00:28:57.640 76.

00:28:58.460 76 years in Malaysia.

00:29:00.180 What's the American average lifespan?

00:29:02.360 I feel like you beat us.

00:29:03.960 Our healthcare system's better, though.

00:29:05.740 I'll tell you about it in a second.

00:29:06.800 It might even out.

00:29:08.380 77.

00:29:09.140 Oh, come on.

00:29:09.580 Okay.

00:29:09.900 So one year longer?

00:29:11.260 Eight months longer.

00:29:12.540 But still, enough to point and laugh, you know?

00:29:15.320 Your final years.

00:31:42.500 What was one of the biggest myths over the years about the Malaysian flight?

00:31:46.340 Was there something that was like, did people think it had gone to like a certain place

00:31:51.200 or was it always just a missing plane?

00:31:53.000 I'm trying to...

00:31:53.980 I think there are lots of theories, right?

00:31:56.060 And some people say they just entered the Bermuda Triangle and they're all still alive.

00:32:01.060 But yeah, I think they're all dead.

00:32:03.060 He just drove the plane until it ran out of gas and it just sunk into the ocean.

00:32:09.000 Everybody was unconscious though.

00:32:10.360 So they didn't have that really scary moment, right?

00:32:13.280 That's nice.

00:32:13.680 I think it's like a less tragic situation than 9-11.

00:32:17.660 You know, 9-11, they're all conscious.

00:32:19.060 They knew they were flying into that building.

00:32:20.600 Yeah.

00:32:21.060 Right?

00:32:21.760 And some people were probably trying to hurry up and get their luggage because I hate

00:32:24.920 it when people get up on a plane early before it stops or whatever.

00:32:27.960 Yeah.

00:32:29.220 You think they're up ruffling through the overhead storage?

00:32:31.880 Oh, some hurried ass, some business asshole is like, I got to get off first.

00:32:36.460 It's like, bitch, we're fucking...

00:32:37.800 Yeah, we're dead.

00:32:38.760 Yeah, it's just crazy.

00:32:39.800 But you can...

00:32:40.200 I hate it when people get up early before the plane is like at the gate, you know?

00:32:43.400 Yeah.

00:32:43.660 And then the flight attendant has to tell you, please sit down.

00:32:46.420 The seatbelt light's still on.

00:32:48.640 Yeah.

00:32:49.460 I know.

00:32:50.040 Do you fly a lot when you tour around the US?

00:32:52.700 Oh, yeah.

00:32:53.000 Or just a big...

00:32:54.040 My conception, my concept of US touring is a big ass tour bus with your face on the

00:32:59.460 side of it.

00:33:00.040 Oh, no face.

00:33:01.060 No face?

00:33:01.740 No, I think that would be too ego.

00:33:03.740 I think I wouldn't want my face because I don't want people to know, like, I don't want people

00:33:07.080 coming and looking for me or, you know, you already have at night, they'll have some...

00:33:11.700 If you do a show in a town, sometimes we'll be in a tour bus.

00:33:14.080 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:14.940 And see if you bring up...

00:33:16.520 You can put your face on a different bus.

00:33:18.700 Oh, that's a good idea.

00:33:19.480 You ride a nondescript bus.

00:33:22.100 You put your face on a different bus.

00:33:23.920 Just like the LA City Transit bus.

00:33:26.200 Yeah, it's just...

00:33:26.480 With your porn's face, just riding around.

00:33:28.480 It's just like a Greyhound bus, like, going through Mississippi.

00:33:31.980 It's like, follow us to the next show when you get there.

00:33:34.440 And it's just a bunch of, like, people who just got out of prison.

00:33:37.440 Yeah.

00:33:38.740 Getting off and ham in Louisiana.

00:33:40.440 He has his face on a bus.

00:33:41.720 Yokoy has his face on it.

00:33:43.360 Have you had him on the pod?

00:33:44.360 He's, like, the other leader of Asian people.

00:33:46.940 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:47.240 We definitely have had him on.

00:33:49.040 Yokoy, special guy.

00:33:49.980 Special guy, Yokoy.

00:33:51.220 Yeah.

00:33:51.980 Yokoy.

00:33:52.540 Josep.

00:33:53.760 Josep.

00:33:54.820 Josep, good guy.

00:33:56.640 There we are right there with the tour bus.

00:33:58.140 Yeah, we do, like...

00:33:59.580 Yeah, a lot of times it's just the tour bus, but nothing...

00:34:02.140 Very under the radar.

00:34:02.820 Nothing really crazy on the inside or outside.

00:34:06.700 We run a pretty lean ship for the most part.

00:34:09.140 Yeah, when I was on tour in the U.S., I just flew to every city.

00:34:12.780 Did you?

00:34:13.040 I didn't even go with an opener.

00:34:14.580 On tour, I would open for myself.

00:34:16.400 Uncle Roger was my opener.

00:34:17.960 Oh, really?

00:34:18.960 So I save a bit of money that way.

00:34:20.540 So Uncle Roger is your assumed character, kind of.

00:34:22.920 It's like a...

00:34:24.220 It's another character, but it's just you.

00:34:26.440 Yeah, it's just me.

00:34:27.500 I speak with a stronger accent, and I'm a little bit grumpier.

00:34:30.560 But you're not wearing a mustache or a cape or anything.

00:34:33.160 I wear an orange polo.

00:34:34.400 Yeah.

00:34:34.760 That's it.

00:34:35.480 That's Uncle Roger.

00:34:36.020 And it just took off because it came...

00:34:39.100 You know, if you want to see someone...

00:34:40.360 Uncle Roger mostly complains about food, right?

00:34:42.320 Oh, yeah.

00:34:42.720 And mostly about Asian food, like fried rice and those things.

00:34:46.280 And if you want to see someone complain about Asian food, it better be someone like extremely

00:34:51.140 Asian, right?

00:34:51.840 That adds the authenticity and the comedy of it.

00:34:54.540 Yeah.

00:34:54.720 So that's why I took off the food stuff.

00:34:57.420 Yeah.

00:34:57.720 But yeah, he's just me.

00:34:58.800 The orange polo, a stronger accent.

00:35:00.800 You know, when I do Uncle Roger's portion in my tour, it's like my old material.

00:35:05.280 I just let the character do it.

00:35:06.920 Oh, yeah.

00:35:07.500 People love it.

00:35:08.060 That's me.

00:35:08.660 Yeah.

00:35:09.180 The orange polo.

00:35:10.200 But, you know, the bar for character comedy on YouTube is very low.

00:35:14.960 You know?

00:35:15.500 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:35:16.580 Just put a shirt.

00:35:17.880 Just put a shirt.

00:35:18.820 People are like, holy shit, isn't it the same person?

00:35:20.520 Dude.

00:35:23.900 Adam Ray's Dr. Phil is higher effort than whatever this is.

00:35:28.960 Oh, yeah, dude.

00:35:29.980 It just seemed like the best guy at Home Depot, you know?

00:35:33.480 Like a student.

00:35:34.560 You look like a student at Home Depot.

00:35:35.940 Oh, thank you.

00:35:36.740 It's very great, man.

00:35:38.100 Yeah, people love Uncle Roger and people love learning about different food through him.

00:35:42.000 I think that's one thing.

00:35:43.860 Did you, in Malaysia, I noticed when I was there, there's a big monkey issue, right?

00:35:47.560 It's a big monkey.

00:35:48.660 Depends where you go.

00:35:49.680 No, in the city, that's fine.

00:35:51.240 You probably went to this place called Batu Caves.

00:35:53.400 It's like a cave, a Hindu cave.

00:35:55.380 And then when you walk up the steps, there are monkeys who just steal food from you.

00:35:59.580 Right.

00:36:00.040 Yeah.

00:36:00.540 Yeah, that sounds like a monkey issue.

00:36:02.380 Yeah.

00:36:02.560 So, what I'm saying is, do y'all eat, have you ever had monkeys?

00:36:08.180 No, no, no.

00:36:09.680 I know some Asians do.

00:36:11.420 Really?

00:36:11.900 You know?

00:36:12.600 I think maybe China.

00:36:14.420 I've heard, and I don't know how true this is, but in some places, I believe it too, man.

00:36:18.780 They would just have a table with a hole in the middle, and then the monkey's head would

00:36:23.460 be just coming through that hole, and they would just cut open the monkey's head and eat

00:36:26.460 that monkey's brain as the monkey's still alive and just squiggling under the table.

00:36:31.700 Yeah, yeah.

00:36:32.140 I don't know how true that is, but I'd like to believe that.

00:36:34.440 We eat everything.

00:36:35.500 I love that.

00:36:36.320 Yeah.

00:36:36.880 I love thinking about Asian people.

00:36:38.440 It's a bit inhumane, though, right?

00:36:40.540 It's next level to the snail mucin stuff.

00:36:43.800 But monkeys are, they deserve some of it.

00:36:47.140 No, they're nice.

00:36:48.200 They're nice.

00:36:48.740 They're smart.

00:36:49.960 They're smarter.

00:36:50.560 Yeah, I agree.

00:36:51.380 Every now and then, you see one who fucking knows how to open a bag of Dorito or something.

00:36:55.520 Yeah, they can paint.

00:36:56.520 Overall, they are vital.

00:36:57.820 They're cute, too, no?

00:36:59.260 Put monkeys attacking woman for chips.

00:37:02.240 Well, that's biased.

00:37:03.620 You can also Google monkeys being cute and loving.

00:37:06.920 Okay.

00:37:07.220 You know?

00:37:07.620 Let's see both.

00:37:08.380 We'll do a video for each.

00:37:09.980 The woman who was mauled by a 200-pound chimp.

00:37:14.240 Okay.

00:37:15.000 That's not a monkey.

00:37:15.760 That's like King Kong, you know?

00:37:18.360 I'm just saying this lady probably had a little bit of chips on her.

00:37:21.140 I watched some monkeys attack a sister for a sack of vinegar salt chips one time on a stairwell.

00:37:27.880 Okay.

00:37:28.700 I need to know more context, you know?

00:37:30.640 Okay.

00:37:31.060 So go to his version now.

00:37:32.440 What do you want to pull up?

00:37:34.020 Monkeys being cute.

00:37:36.600 Monkeys being cute?

00:37:37.860 In Malaysia.

00:37:38.540 Yeah, let's do that.

00:37:39.380 Okay, let's see that.

00:37:40.940 Oh, that's a beautiful monkey.

00:37:42.120 Ooh, look at him.

00:37:42.960 He looks like he's in blackface.

00:37:44.760 The monkey looks like he's in blackface.

00:37:47.280 No.

00:37:47.780 Okay.

00:37:48.560 Yeah, we have a monkey problem.

00:37:49.900 We have racist fucking monkeys.

00:37:52.080 Yeah, look at this monkey, dude.

00:37:55.780 Wow, bro.

00:37:57.100 Look at this.

00:37:58.020 Who is that?

00:37:59.820 Oh, that's Justin Trudeau.

00:38:04.220 Look, look.

00:38:06.240 He's not running for office.

00:38:07.480 He's swinging for office from his tail.

00:38:11.260 That is cute.

00:38:12.320 Come on.

00:38:12.740 He's not attacking no one.

00:38:13.860 No, that's a prime minister.

00:38:15.580 Of course not.

00:38:16.300 Yeah, yeah.

00:38:18.000 That's hilarious.

00:38:19.000 Look at this.

00:38:19.900 Here we have.

00:38:20.500 Come on.

00:38:21.800 A beautiful monkey.

00:38:23.640 Yeah, he's so tiny.

00:38:25.000 That monkey can't beat anyone.

00:38:26.500 Very romantic.

00:38:28.300 What made you decide to go into a food direction on your YouTube, man?

00:38:32.540 And some of my audience won't be familiar with Nigel or Uncle Roger, and that's okay, right?

00:38:37.340 That's okay.

00:38:37.880 It's the way you kind of effortlessly kind of just like, I think you seem, this is what

00:38:44.220 it is to me, and this is very judgmental.

00:38:46.320 All right, here we go.

00:38:47.160 And I'm used to seeing some Asian people be more probably quiet or not have maybe the similar

00:38:52.800 sense of humor.

00:38:53.840 Uh-huh.

00:38:54.320 And I think your humor seems very similar and relatable to just somebody like me.

00:39:00.180 Oh, thank you.

00:39:00.860 So, you know, and I don't mean it like, it's a judgment because it's like, well, what does

00:39:05.280 that matter, right?

00:39:06.620 But I think that's why it seems so, like, your humor, sometimes I feel like maybe some

00:39:11.920 Asian humor, I wouldn't get it.

00:39:13.460 Or even if it's an Asian person with American humor, I wouldn't get it as much.

00:39:17.260 But yeah, yours just seems so, like, effortless and comes across, man.

00:39:20.600 I feel like every family has an Uncle Roger type character, right?

00:39:24.160 This person who likes to talk shit.

00:39:25.780 This know-it-all who likes to talk shit, loudmouth, person who's just roasting everyone.

00:39:29.860 Oh, yeah.

00:39:30.220 I think every culture has someone like that.

00:39:31.940 Maybe pedophile or none.

00:39:33.280 Yeah, no, no pedophiles.

00:39:34.260 Okay.

00:39:34.480 Keep it PG.

00:39:36.540 Okay, fine.

00:39:37.240 Whatever, man.

00:39:38.140 I don't know.

00:39:38.940 Whatever.

00:39:39.280 I'm just asking what the question is.

00:39:41.700 Do they have pedophiles in Malaysia, though?

00:39:44.180 They have or no?

00:39:44.540 Yeah, of course.

00:39:45.300 Okay.

00:39:46.000 Yeah.

00:39:46.420 They start young.

00:39:47.280 Sometimes they start young.

00:39:48.180 Sometimes it's allowed, too.

00:39:49.880 Oh, really?

00:39:51.100 They're different cultures, I think.

00:39:52.960 Sometimes they marry really young and-

00:39:55.780 Like the Burmese or whatever?

00:39:57.100 The Burmese.

00:39:58.020 I don't know what specific Asian cultures.

00:39:59.500 I know of other people who are in Malaysia who would marry a 14-year-old.

00:40:05.560 It's rare.

00:40:06.140 It's rare.

00:40:06.680 And it's very frowned upon and illegal, I think.

00:40:09.800 I don't know the Malaysian constitution that well.

00:40:13.000 But yeah, every country has a pedophile problem, man.

00:40:15.360 It's just that I think in the US, your pedophiles are a higher profile.

00:40:18.460 They're successful pedophiles here.

00:40:20.060 Yeah, that's crazy.

00:40:21.060 It's like, wow, this guy's great at business.

00:40:23.400 What's his secret?

00:40:24.220 And his secret is petting kids or whatever.

00:40:27.700 You're like, well, that's, you know, I'll just do a vitamin D supplement or whatever.

00:40:31.600 You have a whole island, you know?

00:40:33.000 You have Epstein.

00:40:34.620 Yeah, we had Epstein.

00:40:35.540 It's great.

00:40:36.000 We don't have someone like that.

00:40:37.520 Asia Consent, Malaysia, 16.

00:40:40.100 China, 14.

00:40:41.480 Okay.

00:40:43.140 Japan, 13.

00:40:45.080 13?

00:40:45.820 Whoa, hold on.

00:40:47.320 Lower, Bob.

00:40:49.080 That's insane, dude.

00:40:51.700 India, we'll get back to 18.

00:40:54.220 And South Korea is doing 16.

00:40:56.140 Thailand, 15.

00:40:58.280 Legal, 18.

00:40:59.380 Effective.

00:41:01.060 What does effective mean?

00:41:03.480 I don't know.

00:41:06.280 All right.

00:41:07.080 Bahrain, 21.

00:41:08.400 Wow.

00:41:09.340 I like that.

00:41:09.900 Those are old, yeah.

00:41:10.600 Pedophiles need to move away from Bahrain.

00:41:12.380 Bahrainian pedophiles need to move to Japan.

00:41:14.800 Yeah, dude.

00:41:16.340 Blame it on Bahrain, brother.

00:41:18.800 Wow.

00:41:21.140 Yeah.

00:41:21.340 Oh, why talk about food?

00:41:23.500 So you got into food, yes.

00:41:24.880 Your channel seems like it kind of really started to focus more on food.

00:41:28.520 Yeah.

00:41:28.960 Well, you know, I grew up, growing up, I think most Malaysians, most Asians love food and we

00:41:33.120 have opinions, a lot of opinions on food and where the best thing is and what is the best

00:41:37.420 fried rice, for instance, you know?

00:41:38.640 So during COVID, I remember I went full-time stand-up comedy, September 2019, so six months

00:41:45.640 before COVID hit.

00:41:46.420 I was like, finally, I saved up enough money, I got enough paying gigs that I can make a

00:41:50.860 living off of stand-up.

00:41:52.380 And then COVID hit six months later, I lost all my work.

00:41:54.900 So I had to be like, okay, I have all this time on my hands.

00:41:57.960 What do I do?

00:41:58.820 You know, I have this idea for this character in my head.

00:42:01.900 And then one day, somebody sent me that very first video, the BBC food, this woman making

00:42:07.300 egg fried rice.

00:42:08.380 And I was just watching and I was just like, this is horrendous.

00:42:10.820 This is horrible.

00:42:12.020 So let's put that character idea with this reaction video, YouTube idea, and then things

00:42:16.680 just took off from there.

00:42:18.220 So, and I realized food is relatable, you know, to Asian people, to everyone, right?

00:42:23.980 Fried rice, everybody's had fried rice before, white, Asian, black, you know, doesn't matter

00:42:27.640 what race you are.

00:42:28.300 Everybody likes it.

00:42:29.260 Yeah, everybody likes it.

00:42:30.140 Everybody has had it.

00:42:31.400 Everybody has an opinion on it.

00:42:32.880 Is there fried rice crispy treats or no?

00:42:35.560 No, we can start one.

00:42:36.880 That's a good idea.

00:42:38.460 Fried rice crispy treats for a little packet.

00:42:42.000 I like that, huh?

00:42:43.260 Yeah, but it's too sweet though.

00:42:44.620 It's yeah, very sweet.

00:42:45.480 Maybe you can come out with a savory one.

00:42:47.100 Yeah, that is the BBC food egg fried rice video.

00:42:50.380 The one that I reacted to.

00:42:52.300 And what is it?

00:42:53.660 Yeah.

00:42:54.020 Who is that?

00:42:54.920 Her name's Hershah Patel.

00:42:56.280 We did a video together.

00:42:57.540 Wow.

00:42:57.840 She was just, you know, like a collateral damage.

00:43:01.280 And she was just a presenter.

00:43:02.940 And the BBC gave her this recipe.

00:43:05.120 And Hershah, she's got, her pronouns are heavy in her first name.

00:43:08.560 Yeah.

00:43:09.760 Hershah.

00:43:10.440 Yeah.

00:43:10.620 So she does a lot of bizarre things, you know, like, um, I would buy her a damn omelet

00:43:20.000 somewhere.

00:43:21.000 Yeah.

00:43:21.680 She's making the rice and, and so what is she, this is your, uh, you know her?

00:43:27.300 I, I, I, yeah.

00:43:28.300 After the video went viral and she was under a lot of, she got a lot of hate messages.

00:43:32.960 About this video?

00:43:33.880 Yeah.

00:43:34.120 For making bad rice?

00:43:35.080 Yeah.

00:43:35.500 Oh yeah.

00:43:36.100 So this is like a Meghan Markle effect or whatever.

00:43:38.780 Yeah.

00:43:39.460 Something.

00:43:40.520 And then I realized, uh, my videos where I critique, when I roast celebrity chefs,

00:43:45.240 I critique food, those go really viral.

00:43:48.160 They do super well.

00:43:49.420 And then after doing it for a few more years, I was like, okay, people trust me when it,

00:43:53.260 when I talk about food, because I try to keep it honest.

00:43:56.120 If the food is good, I say it's good.

00:43:57.600 If it's bad, I say it's bad.

00:43:58.900 So that's why I think, I think I can make, you know, do some good business in the food

00:44:03.020 world.

00:44:03.340 That's why now I have, I have restaurants, I'm writing a cookbook, all that stuff.

00:44:08.540 And it's fun, man.

00:44:09.660 It's like fun.

00:44:10.240 You know, I've done the, I love standup still.

00:44:12.360 I just don't have the time to do it anymore.

00:44:14.320 And I'm taking a break from it because I realized I'm not, I wasn't devoting enough time to

00:44:18.360 it.

00:44:18.520 And, you know, I, at most I could do two sets a week and that's not enough.

00:44:21.940 That's not enough.

00:44:22.500 That's not enough.

00:44:23.360 You get, you feel so rusty.

00:44:24.500 The first 10 minutes of your set, you're getting rid of that rust and you can't really get

00:44:28.540 better.

00:44:28.900 So maybe one day when things settle down a bit, I'll get back to standup because I love

00:44:33.240 it.

00:44:33.380 It's just that, you know, that instant reaction from people.

00:44:36.980 Yeah.

00:44:37.080 Well, it's also, it's, you know, it's funny.

00:44:38.780 I think how, if you try, like, was it scary to try your first, that first kind of food

00:44:44.360 video?

00:44:44.600 Cause it's interesting for an entertainer.

00:44:47.380 If you're in a certain world or space, right?

00:44:49.120 It's interesting to then try something different.

00:44:51.640 You're like, well, my friend does this and it's really neat.

00:44:55.180 He does it super well.

00:44:56.720 But if I do it, is mine going to be okay?

00:44:59.460 Are people going to perceive it as okay?

00:45:01.340 Right.

00:45:01.640 I think that's a big fear.

00:45:03.960 You know, you, I have friends that do great sketches.

00:45:06.520 Like Shane Gillis does some really great sketches.

00:45:09.240 Like his, uh, Gillian, great.

00:45:11.060 Yeah.

00:45:11.580 Gillian Keeves.

00:45:12.800 Oh, I love that.

00:45:14.000 I see Toyota sketch.

00:45:15.520 Some of it.

00:45:16.140 It's just so, so funny.

00:45:19.040 And there's times where it's like, I'll think of a great sketch.

00:45:21.260 I'll write it on my phone.

00:45:22.020 And I'm like, well, if I did that, would it be okay?

00:45:24.180 Would I be too, but it's like, I think you think like that, right?

00:45:27.380 It's normal.

00:45:28.180 It's normal.

00:45:28.760 It's normal to think like that, but nobody cares, dude.

00:45:31.380 Right.

00:45:31.600 That's the truth.

00:45:32.400 Right.

00:45:32.800 But then I don't know if somebody saw somebody doing something like a bunch, you're like,

00:45:36.920 oh, this isn't the avenue for them.

00:45:38.260 But then if you're, if you have a good instinct for yourself, you would kind of notice that as

00:45:42.940 well.

00:45:43.500 Here's what I'm asking.

00:45:44.220 Was it hard to do that?

00:45:45.160 Was it hard to just take that leap and be like, I'm going to try this different thing?

00:45:47.660 Oh yeah.

00:45:47.960 Yeah.

00:45:48.680 You fear, I fear the judgment of every back, because back then in the UK, nobody was doing

00:45:54.500 YouTube, you know, it was, it was just a weird thing for someone to do, a standup to do.

00:46:00.040 People, other standups would be like, oh yeah, he's just a YouTuber, you know, that kind

00:46:03.920 of slur, right?

00:46:06.020 Yeah.

00:46:06.260 A YouTuber.

00:46:07.080 Yeah.

00:46:07.480 YouTuber.

00:46:08.080 Ugh.

00:46:08.740 But no hard R on it.

00:46:10.780 YouTuber.

00:46:11.500 Yeah.

00:46:11.780 That's crazy, dude.

00:46:12.680 YouTuber, please.

00:46:16.580 Yeah, dude.

00:46:17.340 Oh, have you heard that song?

00:46:19.320 YouTubers can be gay too.

00:46:21.920 Yeah.

00:46:22.280 Have you heard it?

00:46:23.000 No.

00:46:23.240 I'll watch it right.

00:46:23.780 You got to hear this song.

00:46:24.500 It's great.

00:46:24.940 It's just like a, it's a summer bop that's really taken over.

00:46:27.840 And then we'll get back to this.

00:46:41.380 Hell yeah.

00:46:43.200 What a banger.

00:46:45.060 This is that banger, bro.

00:46:46.320 We got to remix this shit for the summer, dude.

00:46:48.600 Yeah.

00:46:50.500 Very hard to sing along.

00:46:52.760 That's in your car.

00:46:53.740 You can say this in your car.

00:46:54.740 Yeah, you just say this to your friend.

00:47:00.040 He's not wrong, though.

00:47:01.460 They can't be gay.

00:47:02.780 He's definitely, I support this guy.

00:47:05.780 Yeah.

00:47:06.320 Hey, this guy has a vote for me, bro.

00:47:09.220 It needs to be said.

00:47:10.380 Yeah.

00:47:10.960 There's too much toxic masculinity in that N-word community sometimes.

00:47:15.380 Yeah.

00:47:15.780 You got to let the air out the tire a little.

00:47:17.800 You know?

00:47:19.080 That's what I'm saying, boy.

00:47:20.420 Like, sometimes the best seasoning is a little bit of zest.

00:47:23.960 Yeah.

00:47:25.560 Who likes that zesty barbecue?

00:47:27.380 They snuck it in on us.

00:47:29.080 They snuck it in on us with that zesty barbecue.

00:47:32.940 But let's go back to what you were saying.

00:47:34.520 Sorry.

00:47:35.720 Anytime I get a chance, I love this artist, Eves.

00:47:39.620 And so I just want to be able to support him and put out his song that I think is a banger

00:47:43.260 and has not gotten the vibes it should have gotten so far.

00:47:48.360 And it just needs to be resurrected because it's been about eight years since that song

00:47:51.080 came out.

00:47:52.840 What is, I wonder, in Asian culture even, because Asian culture to me, right?

00:47:58.040 And I know I relate things to culture a lot, but I think it's played a big role in my life,

00:48:03.940 I think, somehow.

00:48:05.080 But Asian people seem more reserved overall, right?

00:48:07.900 Yes.

00:48:08.220 We kind of talked about that.

00:48:09.460 Yeah.

00:48:09.820 So is that even scarier to put yourself out there in an Asian, like, as an Asian, you

00:48:15.000 think, than it would be in other cultures where it's more, like, boisterous, you know?

00:48:19.000 Never thought about this.

00:48:19.920 I think it would be, you know?

00:48:21.320 In the U.S., I think people here like it when you're being creative.

00:48:25.700 At least they're supportive, you know?

00:48:27.300 Like, you go, you do you.

00:48:28.980 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:29.660 People are more positive here.

00:48:30.860 You can be gay, too, man, you know?

00:48:32.140 If you try to pull out that song in Malaysia, Asians can be gay, too, that's not going to

00:48:38.020 go far.

00:48:38.480 Come on, dude.

00:48:41.760 I think in some countries that would be illegal as well.

00:48:45.000 Oh, yeah.

00:48:45.820 Asians can be gay, too.

00:48:48.300 Muslims can be gay, too.

00:48:51.000 Dude, that song needs a remake in every culture.

00:48:53.620 Yeah, so I just wondered if it was even scarier and what, like, I guess, what got you that,

00:49:00.140 what made you kind of brave enough to take that leap?

00:49:02.520 Because in my life, I've noticed that the toughest thing is just that first step every

00:49:06.980 time.

00:49:07.320 Well, I went to university here and that helped.

00:49:09.660 I went to Northwestern and it's, you know, I was very lucky I got a scholarship because

00:49:13.620 it's an expensive school.

00:49:15.000 But a lot of people who go there are, like, very upper middle class, mostly white Midwestern

00:49:20.380 kids, and they're all so confident, and even though they have the exact wrong answer, but

00:49:26.020 they're still, like, just saying it with their chest, you know?

00:49:29.840 Oh, yeah.

00:49:30.620 You're talking about being a Kappa Sig, dude, I think, yeah.

00:49:33.320 Something like that.

00:49:34.440 I wasn't very popular with the frat people.

00:49:38.320 They have their own culture, right?

00:49:39.980 When you talk about culture, frat is its own culture.

00:49:41.960 Oh, yeah.

00:49:42.440 They like to vomit on each other until somebody's secretly gay, you know what I'm saying, dude?

00:49:46.620 That's the type shit I'm into.

00:49:48.080 Type shit, boy.

00:49:49.260 Shout out, Pikes.

00:49:50.560 Pill gang.

00:49:51.260 Can you still do those things, the hazing rituals?

00:49:54.000 I don't know.

00:49:54.420 It's just sexual assault, but on your friends.

00:49:58.120 I didn't know vomit could be a lubricant, but hey, here's another bush light, Ricky.

00:50:05.540 Yeah, they're just so, and I see them just bullshit their way through university.

00:50:10.360 I was like, I need some of that.

00:50:11.600 I need some of that white male confidence.

00:50:14.900 Not too much.

00:50:15.960 You have too much, you become annoying and entitled, right?

00:50:18.580 Yeah.

00:50:18.860 20% of it, just a little bit.

00:50:20.540 Not too much.

00:50:21.380 Yeah, you don't want to turn into Chet Hanks or whatever.

00:50:23.580 He went to our school.

00:50:24.520 Did he?

00:50:25.220 Northwestern, yeah.

00:50:25.620 Let's go.

00:50:26.440 Nice, man.

00:50:27.000 He came to see it.

00:50:27.760 I was in a black sketch comedy group back in university.

00:50:31.260 Chet Hanks and Tom Hanks were at our show once.

00:50:33.280 And Rita Wilson, Tom's wife.

00:50:34.960 And they all came to your show?

00:50:35.980 Yeah, they came to the show.

00:50:36.680 It was me and a group of people.

00:50:38.700 Black folks?

00:50:40.040 Yeah, mostly black folks.

00:50:41.100 They always need one Asian guy and one white person.

00:50:43.680 So that was a token.

00:50:44.900 He was a token.

00:50:45.920 Yeah.

00:50:46.320 Yeah.

00:50:46.980 We got to pass this ADN word in certain sketches.

00:50:49.200 You did?

00:50:49.640 It was cool.

00:50:50.020 Yeah.

00:50:50.400 Oh, wow.

00:50:50.860 They're doing that at Northwestern?

00:50:52.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:53.860 Hell, yeah.

00:50:54.540 That's what the N stands for in Northwestern, dude.

00:50:57.540 That's what I'm talking about.

00:50:59.020 That's what we need more of.

00:51:00.220 Dude, I've said this for years.

00:51:01.980 And not for years, but I've said this for almost four months.

00:51:05.140 If you auctioned off the N word, say somebody's going to say it, right?

00:51:09.800 Like tonight, Uncle Roger's going to drop the N bomb at 11 p.m., right?

00:51:14.180 But you auction it off.

00:51:15.260 You say, I'm going to donate money to watch the stream.

00:51:18.300 I'm going to pay.

00:51:19.000 They say it.

00:51:19.620 And the money goes towards a black organization.

00:51:22.460 Yeah.

00:51:22.780 I think that would work.

00:51:24.240 I think that's a good idea.

00:51:25.700 Yeah.

00:51:26.220 But do you have limitations in how they say it?

00:51:30.020 No, I think they just get, they have to say it within three or four minutes.

00:51:33.300 So they could do like a little bit of a dance ensemble and then say it at the end.

00:51:36.860 Like da-da-da-da-da-da.

00:51:39.180 Hard R or no hard R?

00:51:40.860 I think it's up to them.

00:51:41.840 And I think it's at what price level you pay.

00:51:43.900 Like say Angelina Jolie is going to drop that thing, right?

00:51:46.780 Okay.

00:51:47.560 I mean.

00:51:48.380 I would tune in to watch that.

00:51:49.720 I think more people would like that than that fucking Imagine song that they did a few

00:51:54.560 years ago.

00:51:55.300 Oh, yeah.

00:51:56.920 Yeah.

00:51:57.680 Imagine words.

00:51:58.880 That's what I'm saying, dude.

00:52:00.000 That's what they need to do.

00:52:01.140 So I'm just saying, because people are always talking about reparations, this, reparations,

00:52:03.740 that.

00:52:04.600 But you're out here policing people for the N-word.

00:52:08.460 Organize.

00:52:08.920 That's a great idea.

00:52:09.720 And make some money for your community.

00:52:11.560 Yeah.

00:52:11.860 By auctioning it off.

00:52:12.780 People are already saying it.

00:52:14.340 Yeah.

00:52:14.640 For free.

00:52:15.980 That's what I'm from.

00:52:18.320 Dude, I love this.

00:52:19.520 We've got to do that.

00:52:20.160 This is like the United Nations meeting, dude.

00:52:21.540 Let's start a Twitch stream, okay?

00:52:23.140 Yeah.

00:52:25.520 And tonight, who would be the best that you would love to hear say the N-word?

00:52:29.800 And let's be honest, and this isn't a racial thing.

00:52:31.500 This is just about vernacular and raising money for a community.

00:52:34.580 I want to see Trevor Wallace say the N-word.

00:52:37.800 Yeah, because he does not say it.

00:52:39.300 But he looks like he wants to say it sometimes.

00:52:41.460 Oh, yeah, dude.

00:52:42.500 Oh, if you tickle him.

00:52:43.860 Yeah.

00:52:44.100 Oh.

00:52:45.040 I bet he says it in his sleep.

00:52:46.660 This is sleep talking.

00:52:49.020 Sorry, Trevor.

00:52:49.960 Oh, yeah.

00:52:50.780 He puts the N in Ambien, dude.

00:52:52.680 You know what I'm talking about?

00:52:54.720 What's up, Kyle?

00:52:58.400 Dude, that would be so great.

00:52:59.960 Yeah, I'd love to see that.

00:53:01.040 Yeah, I would love to see Trevor Wallace.

00:53:02.380 And then who's someone that's older that I would love to see say it?

00:53:05.760 Someone who's probably like in a coma or something, but if you could get him to whisper it or something

00:53:09.100 for like an expensive stream.

00:53:11.220 I'm talking like about a $13, $14 stream.

00:53:14.400 Who's somebody?

00:53:15.220 Look up older people in coma, celebrities or people on there struggling, something like

00:53:20.280 that.

00:53:21.100 Old people who are struggling.

00:53:23.080 Put almost RIP you can put on there.

00:53:25.400 Ooh, Clint Eastwood.

00:53:26.680 Oh, hey, that would be a legend.

00:53:29.120 He did it for free.

00:53:29.720 Huh?

00:53:30.120 That would be legendary.

00:53:31.780 He says it already.

00:53:32.800 Yeah, he did it for free.

00:53:35.620 There's like three movies about him almost saying it, I think.

00:53:40.240 Oh, Buzz Aldrin, definitely, dude.

00:53:42.920 Yeah.

00:53:43.700 Bro.

00:53:44.200 Is he the guy who went to the moon?

00:53:45.620 Yeah.

00:53:45.900 You know if you're out in space, you got to yell it out there once.

00:53:48.460 Yeah.

00:53:48.580 Nobody can hear it.

00:53:50.540 Only Houston can hear it.

00:53:53.420 We got a problem.

00:53:54.460 Houston, we have a problem.

00:53:55.880 Yeah.

00:53:56.440 Paul Wall, baby.

00:53:58.000 I'm the people's champ.

00:53:59.560 We got a problem, Houston.

00:54:00.540 Buzz is racist.

00:54:02.100 Really racist.

00:54:04.260 You don't think a white guy named Buzz was driving N-bombs?

00:54:08.060 After a few whiskeys.

00:54:09.200 Oh, for sure, dude.

00:54:11.360 After a few whiskeys and fake trips to the moon, you don't think he's driving a fucking N-bombs?

00:54:15.680 But first of all, if you send me to a fake moon and drug me up and send me to a fake moon, I get one N-bombs, man.

00:54:21.640 Yeah.

00:54:22.100 He could open up for Angelina Jolie.

00:54:24.080 But it's just good to think about how you can raise money.

00:54:26.260 And that's where I'm at.

00:54:27.120 It's like, you know, are we raising money or not?

00:54:30.100 Yeah.

00:54:30.900 I wish we had such a cool racial slur for Asian people.

00:54:34.620 You know, we got chink, but it's nowhere near the cultural coolness.

00:54:40.120 Yeah, I'm trying to think of chop dogs would be good.

00:54:43.140 Chop dogs.

00:54:43.360 But that's kind of fun.

00:54:44.480 Yeah.

00:54:44.820 That's funny.

00:54:46.080 That's funny to say.

00:54:47.040 Look at my chop dogs right here.

00:54:49.020 Yeah, look up best Asian racial slurs if you can.

00:54:53.820 Sorry.

00:54:54.740 That's probably on X, not on YouTube.

00:54:57.040 Best Asian slurs.

00:54:58.500 Yeah, at Elon.

00:54:59.660 But if you can, we're going to need...

00:55:01.520 Excuse me, Grok.

00:55:02.580 Do you know if these slurs are definitely Asian?

00:55:05.880 Let's just look up a couple.

00:55:07.080 I don't want to get crazy.

00:55:08.180 Yeah.

00:55:09.160 Have you had Elon on the pod?

00:55:10.840 I have not.

00:55:12.960 Mama-san, mongoloid.

00:55:14.820 I thought that was for, like, Down syndrome people.

00:55:17.940 Not for Asian people.

00:55:19.240 That's just redneck people who don't know how to say...

00:55:21.940 Mongolia.

00:55:22.980 Mongolia.

00:55:24.340 Can we have some mongoloid beef?

00:55:29.360 Look, I ate so much of it, I can't even fucking read that well anymore.

00:55:33.120 My forehead got bigger after Asian mongoloid beef.

00:55:36.100 My eyes got sunken in.

00:55:38.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:39.740 Oh, my God.

00:55:40.580 We got to get out of here, dude.

00:55:42.420 Dude, you know what you need to do is do a show with my friends over there in Australia

00:55:45.960 when you go.

00:55:46.940 Which one?

00:55:47.500 Sean and Marley.

00:55:50.700 Oh, these guys?

00:55:51.740 Yeah.

00:55:52.200 Yeah.

00:55:52.920 I've done, like, some reactions to chefs with Down syndrome, and they're great.

00:55:58.140 They can cook, man.

00:55:58.740 Oh, these guys are the best.

00:55:59.600 One of them doesn't have Down syndrome.

00:56:00.600 One of them does.

00:56:01.300 I'm not even sure.

00:56:02.540 But you go to their home.

00:56:05.220 The greatest experience I had in Australia was spending time with these guys at their

00:56:08.440 home.

00:56:09.240 Really?

00:56:09.600 You went to their homes?

00:56:10.360 Yes.

00:56:11.140 And you pull up, dude.

00:56:12.080 It was just unbelievable.

00:56:13.040 But that would be an amazing crossover.

00:56:15.360 Oh, that's you.

00:56:15.980 Oh, nice.

00:56:16.280 And they would love to have you there, man.

00:56:18.380 I've worked with Down syndrome kids before.

00:56:20.480 I used to volunteer at Down syndrome.

00:56:22.700 Factory or whatever?

00:56:24.000 That's just an Asian.

00:56:25.420 And that's a joke.

00:56:26.240 That's because a lot of this is an Asian factory work.

00:56:28.680 I didn't think it was funny.

00:56:30.040 Yeah, the most joyful people.

00:56:31.680 Oh, for sure.

00:56:33.060 Dude, you tickle them.

00:56:33.760 They can't even feel it because they're already feeling that good.

00:56:36.680 Isn't that crazy?

00:56:37.700 Yeah.

00:56:38.240 Is that true?

00:56:39.040 Yeah.

00:56:39.380 Oh, shit.

00:56:39.760 They're already feeling at a level of being tickled.

00:56:41.620 Oh, I didn't know that.

00:56:42.960 How did you find out about that fact?

00:56:44.940 Oh, that's the easy one.

00:56:46.760 Is that a grok question as well?

00:56:49.160 That's grok.

00:56:49.920 Do Down syndrome people feel tickles?

00:56:53.820 I'm not putting that in there.

00:56:55.160 You're going to jail, dude.

00:56:58.320 You're definitely going to jail.

00:56:59.920 Did Rocket Money cancel a subscription for you?

00:57:04.380 That would have been time consuming or confusing to cancel.

00:57:08.060 It did for me.

00:57:09.180 I was latched on a...

00:57:11.060 I was paying for something bacon box or bacon bundle or something where they just dang hit

00:57:16.300 you with a month full of bacon that first week of the month.

00:57:19.680 And, Rock, I forgot about it.

00:57:21.020 I'm over here just dang...

00:57:21.920 Whole home smells like pork.

00:57:24.820 But Rocket Money figured it out and put it to an end.

00:58:25.980 I need a good friend.

00:58:27.160 I need somebody to listen, right?

00:58:29.200 I think that's something we all need.

00:58:30.680 There's so much blabber out in the world.

00:59:29.180 That was a Middle East trip, man.

00:59:33.140 I was watching a clip of you doing that show.

00:59:35.920 That must be a tough crowd, but you did good.

00:59:38.740 Oh, it's nice of you to say that.

00:59:39.980 You're being very nice.

00:59:41.980 That show was hard.

00:59:43.000 I'll tell you what happened.

00:59:44.000 So they weren't supposed to be recording the show.

00:59:46.220 That was part of the agreement was there would be no recording.

00:59:49.100 And I get out there and then there's 20 news cameras.

00:59:53.120 Oh, shit.

00:59:54.460 Uh-huh.

00:59:55.080 And so I'm like, well, what do I do now?

00:59:56.620 Like, you know, I can't just do all my material because then it'll just be out there, right?

01:00:00.600 It's like, and I'm trying to maybe do a special at some point.

01:00:04.460 And then, so that was a-

01:00:07.100 That was nice.

01:00:07.820 Yeah, those are Thobes, right?

01:00:09.300 Okay.

01:00:09.800 Thobe.

01:00:10.920 That's Qatar, right?

01:00:12.000 Qatar, yeah.

01:00:12.660 Qatar, okay.

01:00:13.380 And it was so cool, man.

01:00:15.520 But yeah, so I get out there and then there's an audience in front of me, behind me, and to

01:00:19.740 this side of me.

01:00:20.580 And half of each one of them can't speak English.

01:00:25.360 They still laugh, though.

01:00:26.320 I heard laughs.

01:00:26.940 I heard applause breaks.

01:00:27.760 People, I think a lot of that-

01:00:29.100 They made fun of the Navy.

01:00:29.880 They loved it.

01:00:30.920 Oh, yeah.

01:00:31.360 That part was, the best part was calling them Ku Klux Sandsmen.

01:00:35.240 That was my favorite.

01:00:36.280 That was the only thing.

01:00:37.860 And at that point, I was like, at least, if anything, they flew somebody over here to

01:00:42.300 say that.

01:00:42.820 Yeah.

01:00:43.200 You know?

01:00:44.840 That must be a tough crowd.

01:00:46.280 It was scary.

01:00:46.580 It feels like a corporate crowd, but tougher.

01:00:48.620 Well, I just didn't expect the camera.

01:00:49.900 So suddenly, everything has to change.

01:00:52.420 You're like, what do I do now?

01:00:54.140 Well, I can't, you know?

01:00:56.000 And so it was just like this interesting mix.

01:00:58.340 But then I also, like, before I went out there, I was like, asking God, I was like,

01:01:02.220 just don't make it about me.

01:01:03.200 Let me just try and do my best.

01:01:04.660 Like, you know?

01:01:05.760 So I, and then I realized, it's just, you're over there to have fun.

01:01:08.500 And so we stayed after and took a ton of photos and it was cool, man, just to be on the base

01:01:12.860 and see like, you know, I've done some military tours in the past, but just to be there and

01:01:17.520 just see what people, just what people are living like over there and what the environment

01:01:22.960 is like over there.

01:01:24.240 Yeah.

01:01:24.560 And then we got to, we got to drive across town and all the buildings have, bring up

01:01:29.440 like a basic or what's it called?

01:01:31.580 Common structure, structuring in Qatar.

01:01:35.980 All of their stuff have like the castle, like, you know, that like castles are kind of like

01:01:40.080 that on the top of them.

01:01:41.300 Let me see.

01:01:41.980 I don't fully understand.

01:01:43.820 Like, you know, the rook in when you're playing.

01:01:46.260 Rook is a castle.

01:01:47.280 Yeah.

01:01:47.420 The rook is the castle.

01:01:48.120 So it has the castle top, you know, the top of the castle is like that.

01:01:51.200 Yeah.

01:01:51.300 Yeah.

01:01:51.460 Yeah.

01:01:51.560 All of their buildings there are like that.

01:01:53.780 Oh, really?

01:01:54.660 Wow.

01:01:54.880 So you'll be driving by a place and you're like, oh my God, is that a palace?

01:01:58.460 And they're like, that's a KFC, dude.

01:02:01.400 Every building there has the castling tops and it's all very uniform and there's nothing

01:02:07.800 out of place.

01:02:08.540 There's not a tree out of place.

01:02:10.140 There's not a curve of a sidewalk out of place.

01:02:13.640 Nothing's on.

01:02:14.340 It's like, wow, it's unbelievable.

01:02:16.600 They have a lot of money because everybody there gets subsidized from the government

01:02:23.300 if you're a Qatari citizen.

01:02:25.060 Yeah.

01:02:25.260 But it's impossible to be a Qatari citizen, isn't it?

01:02:27.520 Right.

01:02:27.740 It only travels through the mail.

01:02:29.540 So you can't just, and you can't just have a baby on the land and it's a citizen.

01:02:34.360 Yeah.

01:02:35.140 Can you be gay and marry a male and get it that way?

01:02:37.940 Let's see.

01:02:38.260 That's a great question because you always hear that you can't be gay there or whatever.

01:02:42.440 And it's funny.

01:02:43.320 They had the secret service there and I kept going up to it and I'm like, what's your secret?

01:02:46.600 Hey, if you're gay, just say if you're gay.

01:02:50.060 What's your secret?

01:02:50.880 You wore your mom's underpants.

01:02:52.560 Like, what is he?

01:02:53.580 And every now and then one would slightly show me a gun.

01:02:57.060 Just like.

01:02:59.420 Shut the fuck up.

01:03:00.380 And then that's when I would listen to N words can be gay too.

01:03:03.900 Just play it.

01:03:04.860 Let's play that in the ears.

01:03:08.200 Pathways to Qatari citizenship.

01:03:09.620 Citizenship is automatically granted anyone born to a Qatari father, regardless of birthplace.

01:03:14.280 Oh, interesting.

01:03:15.140 Children of Qatari mothers and non-Qatari fathers may apply for citizenship, but only under strict conditions are not guaranteed citizenship.

01:03:24.700 Foreigners can apply for citizenship after at least 25 consecutive years of lawful residence.

01:03:29.320 Wow.

01:03:29.900 Wow.

01:03:30.860 With no more than two months spent outside the country per year.

01:03:34.060 Oh, my God.

01:03:35.240 With no more than two months spent outside the country per year.

01:03:36.940 Whereas in America, you could hang your lower half over a fence and drop something over here and it's American.

01:03:43.100 Yeah.

01:03:43.560 You know, which is kind of cool, actually.

01:03:45.580 I think there's that golden visa thing in America now, right?

01:03:49.420 Five million dollars or something?

01:03:50.980 They're giving that away.

01:03:51.800 I think it's where America's got citizenship.

01:03:54.660 I think Howie Mandel is one of the hosts of it.

01:03:56.380 But dual citizenship is not permitted.

01:03:58.560 Applicants must renounce their previous citizenship upon naturalization.

01:04:02.260 Wow.

01:04:02.360 I think that's important.

01:04:03.440 So you can't be gay.

01:04:04.800 Oh, wait.

01:04:05.280 Legal status of same-sex marriage.

01:04:07.360 Okay.

01:04:07.620 Same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships are not recognized or legal in Qatar.

01:04:13.240 Hmm.

01:04:13.840 Qatari law, influenced by traditional Islamic principles, criminalizes same-sex sexual activity

01:04:19.580 and does not recognize any legal status for same-sex couples.

01:04:23.300 Cohabitation outside of heterosexual marriage is also illegal.

01:04:26.460 Wow.

01:04:27.620 So there's no way for us to be Qatari citizens.

01:04:30.620 Mm-mm.

01:04:31.480 Hmm.

01:04:32.600 In our next life, I believe in reincarnation.

01:04:34.720 Oh.

01:04:35.400 I'll meet you there, brother.

01:04:36.600 See you there, man.

01:04:37.840 Play our song.

01:04:38.700 He explains to you.

01:04:40.700 We can't be gay too.

01:04:42.980 Yeah, that's perfect, dude.

01:04:47.020 What is the, uh, what's the improper way to cook rice, just for whites and listeners

01:04:53.540 of this?

01:04:54.140 That's what I built my whole career off of, man.

01:04:55.920 Is it really?

01:04:56.540 I think the proper way is to just get a rice cooker.

01:04:59.900 Yeah.

01:05:00.280 You know, you have one of those?

01:05:01.880 No, I lived with an Asian girl when I first moved to Los Angeles.

01:05:05.140 Uh-huh.

01:05:05.680 She needs to educate you on that stuff, man.

01:05:07.620 Oh, we couldn't even afford heat.

01:05:09.340 Sometimes we'd have her turn that on in our room for a little while.

01:05:11.920 Oh, shit.

01:05:12.980 But now, now things are different now, right?

01:05:14.460 You can afford a rice cooker now.

01:05:15.760 Oh, yeah.

01:05:16.040 I can have a rice cooker in each room.

01:05:17.440 Yeah.

01:05:19.000 You can just be making rice.

01:05:20.920 You can have an Asian in each room making rice for you.

01:05:23.060 That's how, what you can afford now.

01:05:23.960 Oh, I would love that.

01:05:25.060 A little cinnamon Asian.

01:05:25.920 You got the sugar book person.

01:05:26.940 Yeah.

01:05:27.460 $80 a week.

01:05:28.620 Just come make rice for me, girl.

01:05:31.820 But a rice cooker is great because it just takes care of everything for you.

01:05:34.640 And when it's done, it keeps it warm.

01:05:36.720 So you can just press play, go out, do your thing, come back, rice is ready.

01:05:40.720 That's it.

01:05:41.220 And it smells good.

01:05:42.100 It's perfect.

01:05:42.600 So doing anything crazy with rice where you're boiling all that, it's kind of ridiculous.

01:05:47.620 You can just do a rice cooker easy.

01:05:48.820 Yeah.

01:05:49.240 Because every time in the West, okay, here's the difference.

01:05:52.220 In Asia, you ask someone how to make rice, they're like, rice cooker, the story's over.

01:05:56.640 Over here, I ask them how to make rice.

01:05:58.220 They give you this long mathematical equation with science and how many cups of water to one to three ratio of rice to water.

01:06:06.700 It's a whole science lab breaking bad project.

01:06:09.660 Yeah, it's like Andrew Huberman making rice.

01:06:11.260 Yeah, like we don't need that.

01:06:12.640 We don't need a whole podcast to make one bowl of rice.

01:06:15.780 Yeah.

01:06:16.180 You know, so I recommend everybody just get a rice cooker.

01:06:18.760 You know, make life easy for yourself.

01:06:20.300 Yeah.

01:06:20.700 Make it simple.

01:06:21.440 Just do that.

01:06:22.700 Do you cook a lot at home?

01:06:23.760 I only eat two things, honestly, at home.

01:06:29.300 Smoothie.

01:06:30.200 Okay.

01:06:31.100 I eat one smoothie that has blueberries, spinaches, walnut.

01:06:37.060 But that's eating, though.

01:06:38.080 That's not eating.

01:06:38.700 Protein powder.

01:06:39.900 Okay.

01:06:41.660 And food?

01:06:42.300 Lactose-free milk, a little bit of cinnamon, half teaspoon of Stay Met's mushroom powder,

01:06:48.560 some Armra, Armra, Colostrum.

01:06:53.060 What else?

01:06:53.960 Oh, half a teaspoon of algae, sea algae powder.

01:06:58.100 That's fine.

01:06:59.380 Fine grain.

01:06:59.940 Fine grain.

01:07:00.560 I don't like that choppy shit.

01:07:01.540 What is, what's Colostrum?

01:07:03.580 Armra.

01:07:04.120 It's something that, it's in baby milk.

01:07:06.080 Is that placenta?

01:07:07.180 Oh, it's something in baby milk.

01:07:08.720 Oh, okay.

01:07:09.700 I love it.

01:07:10.340 Is it good for you?

01:07:11.280 I mean, was baby milk good for you?

01:07:13.440 Probably.

01:07:13.920 I don't remember now.

01:07:14.660 Oh, you imagine that?

01:07:15.640 Yeah.

01:07:16.480 I need to ask my mom.

01:07:18.380 Was I healthier when I was sucking in your tit?

01:07:20.260 Oh, I'm sure I was.

01:07:21.660 Dude, look at me now.

01:07:23.640 Fucking trouble.

01:07:24.680 I'm fucking spray tanning my back because I'm losing pigment.

01:07:27.180 God damn, yeah.

01:07:28.100 Just getting wider and wider.

01:07:29.460 I love that damn baby milk, tit.

01:07:31.480 Colostrum.

01:07:32.080 Where'd you get, it doesn't look like an air wand thing, isn't it?

01:07:35.220 They started dealing, I think we actually do, I think we honestly, I think we even do

01:07:38.800 some ads for them.

01:07:39.740 But so I mix that together in a blender.

01:07:41.260 That is my, that's my smoothie.

01:07:42.740 That's what I have every time.

01:07:43.520 And then other than that, sometimes at night, about 45 minutes before bed, I'll make myself

01:07:48.020 a ground beef quesadilla.

01:07:51.880 Okay.

01:07:52.540 Okay.

01:07:52.940 You got to expand your palate, man.

01:07:54.420 Mm-mm.

01:07:55.440 Give it a try.

01:07:56.300 I don't want that.

01:07:57.160 I'll bring you around.

01:07:58.160 I'll bring you to Koreatown.

01:07:59.620 But why is it that every time Asians, they want to take you somewhere to fucking feed you?

01:08:03.660 That's the thing, bro.

01:08:04.480 Yeah.

01:08:04.720 We don't like cooking at home.

01:08:06.480 Oh, really?

01:08:07.160 Because cooking, there's so much good food here.

01:08:09.140 The cooking at home is almost arrogant.

01:08:11.020 You think like, what, you think you can do better than this place?

01:08:13.820 You know?

01:08:15.000 So I got to bring you somewhere.

01:08:17.920 Oh.

01:08:18.600 Create some joy.

01:08:20.280 Let you see some shit.

01:08:22.660 Fuyo, that's your restaurant?

01:08:23.920 Fuyo, yeah, yeah.

01:08:24.820 Fuyo.

01:08:25.420 Fuyo, it's Uncle Roger.

01:08:26.580 That's the restaurant name.

01:08:27.800 Yeah.

01:08:28.080 Congratulations, dude.

01:08:29.080 No, thank you, man.

01:08:29.820 Thank you.

01:08:30.240 It's so awesome.

01:08:31.080 That's only in Malaysia right now.

01:08:32.460 Hopefully, we'll expand this concept to all of Asia.

01:08:36.220 But later this year, hopefully, we also have something, a new concept opening in London.

01:08:41.120 Really?

01:08:41.760 Yeah.

01:08:42.300 Different, different.

01:08:43.240 Oh, this is the first time I'm saying it to the world.

01:08:45.240 Shit.

01:08:45.860 But yeah, we have, we just got the lease for a place in London.

01:08:48.820 Let's go.

01:08:49.720 Completely different restaurant name and stuff.

01:08:51.340 Fuyo.

01:08:51.860 Thank you.

01:08:52.460 Fuyo is like a Malaysian slang for saying fuck yeah.

01:08:55.020 Oh, okay.

01:08:55.720 Yeah, yeah.

01:08:56.500 Nice.

01:08:56.780 Fuyo.

01:08:57.500 Fuyo.

01:08:58.380 Fuyo.

01:08:58.780 Fuyo.

01:09:00.700 Yeah.

01:09:01.100 Yeah, I love that, dude.

01:09:02.620 It's so cool.

01:09:03.440 And when you went there for the first time, did you have to go and help design the actual

01:09:07.580 restaurant?

01:09:08.000 How did that, how hands-on are you in something like that, right?

01:09:11.180 Certain aspects.

01:09:12.240 I came up with a few of the fried rice recipes.

01:09:15.920 So, Fuyo, it's Uncle Roger, is a fast, casual fried rice restaurant.

01:09:19.480 Okay.

01:09:19.860 So, you get fried rice as your base.

01:09:21.320 You can add toppings to it.

01:09:22.620 Oh, it sounds so good.

01:09:24.300 Oh, it's good, man.

01:09:25.140 We are very proud of our fried rice.

01:09:26.700 And I came up with a few of the recipes.

01:09:28.560 You know, this is a kimchi fried rice.

01:09:30.900 So, I decided, yes, we need some seaweed.

01:09:33.340 We decide how we want to plate it.

01:09:34.940 You know, the seaweed on the side and the perimeter.

01:09:37.520 And how you want to chop the spring onion.

01:09:39.480 There are many ways to chop spring onion.

01:09:40.680 You've got to find the perfect way.

01:09:41.940 Yeah, yeah.

01:09:43.000 It's all a little, like, bright colored and a little corny from a Western eye.

01:09:47.560 But it works for Asia.

01:09:49.460 And we like cutesy things.

01:09:50.980 And also, a lot of kids like it.

01:09:52.760 Younger people like it.

01:09:53.860 Yeah, it's fun.

01:09:54.780 Well, also, I think getting younger people to like, especially, like, younger American people

01:09:58.820 to like, just to try something a little bit different, right?

01:10:02.420 Yeah.

01:10:02.940 Like, I think my nephews would love this kind of thing, man.

01:10:05.480 Look at that egg, man.

01:10:06.380 Look at how runny it is.

01:10:07.520 Oh, that bitch is good, huh?

01:10:08.100 So, that's another decision to make.

01:10:09.340 You've got to make the sides crispy and the yolk runny.

01:10:12.320 That's what Asians like.

01:10:13.460 Foo-yo, foo-yo, foo-yo.

01:10:14.340 You've got to add some eggs to your diet, man.

01:10:16.140 Oh, foo-yo.

01:10:17.080 Yeah.

01:10:17.520 Add some runny eggs to your quesadilla, to your ground beef quesadilla.

01:10:22.420 I do very, I do a little bit of cheese on there, shredded cheese, quesadilla.

01:10:26.360 Yeah.

01:10:26.920 And that's real?

01:10:27.920 That's the two things you eat every day?

01:10:30.000 That's the only thing that-

01:10:30.660 For real, you're not joking.

01:10:31.540 That's the only thing that's at my house to eat, and the only thing that's at my apartment

01:10:33.980 to eat.

01:10:34.220 Oh, wow.

01:10:35.020 So, I have that, put a cheese, put a layer of ground beef.

01:10:38.860 One more layer of cheese, take some salt, sea salt, put it on there, top on it, one napkin

01:10:44.700 over it, in the microwave, probably a minute, 15 seconds.

01:10:48.400 When it comes out, I push down on the napkin to strengthen that cheese and that meat combo,

01:10:53.500 put it all together, make it a team.

01:10:54.940 And then I'll cut it, the second I take that napkin off, I cut it, one across one of the

01:11:01.040 bottom, make four pieces.

01:11:02.360 Do not let it get too cold, brother, it gets bad.

01:11:04.840 I need to open a restaurant here, man, so you're going to experience the joy of eating.

01:11:10.120 Oh, I would love that, man.

01:11:11.060 I would love to be associated with your restaurant.

01:11:12.700 Part of why I took a break from stand-up is because it eats into my dinner time.

01:11:17.580 That's how much I like food.

01:11:18.880 It's real, man.

01:11:19.940 Like, you do a show on tour, it's like, I have to sound check at like five, and then

01:11:24.640 I'm stuck in the green room and just eating a cold salad.

01:11:27.460 And then after the show, you just want to drink, you don't want to eat.

01:11:29.940 You know what I mean?

01:11:31.260 Yeah, you're a little bit heightened up, and then otherwise you're eating at like 11 o'clock

01:11:34.820 at night.

01:11:35.340 That's never super fun.

01:11:36.400 No good restaurant is still open at 11.

01:11:38.120 Nothing.

01:11:38.340 Even if you try to set up something in advance, you know, it won't stay open sometimes.

01:11:44.380 But you can order food.

01:11:45.300 But yeah, touring, it's a hectic lifestyle.

01:11:48.600 How do you stay fit when you're always eating?

01:11:50.980 Do you also have to take care of yourself, or do you want to turn into fat?

01:11:55.160 No, I think I got to take care of myself, man.

01:11:58.560 I want my life expectancy to go a little beyond that.

01:12:02.060 So I just work out.

01:12:03.020 I try to let my dinner be my all-out meal.

01:12:07.860 Every dinner is my cheat meal, but every other meal is like a healthy thing.

01:12:12.280 I try.

01:12:13.040 I try.

01:12:13.660 And do you eat breakfast?

01:12:14.880 Do Malaysians eat breakfast?

01:12:16.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:12:16.860 We got some good breakfast, man.

01:12:19.300 I think best breakfast in the world.

01:12:20.440 We got rice for breakfast.

01:12:22.480 See, that's the part.

01:12:23.560 I'm open to it.

01:12:24.540 I think you just, I would have to get.

01:12:25.800 Let's try it.

01:12:26.080 Search this, search Nasi Lama, N-A-S-I.

01:12:30.340 Yeah, Malaysian breakfast.

01:12:31.020 That's the first image.

01:12:31.900 That's the one we have.

01:12:33.360 So look at the variety.

01:12:35.340 Rice, peanuts, the sambal paste, a red paste there, fried chicken sometimes.

01:12:40.860 What's a sambal paste?

01:12:42.300 It's like chili shrimp paste.

01:12:45.340 You know?

01:12:47.400 I'm getting hungry now.

01:12:48.560 I'm just thinking about this.

01:12:49.440 And those are sardines?

01:12:50.620 Huh?

01:12:51.100 Those are sardines?

01:12:51.760 Those are deep fried anchovies.

01:12:53.740 Oh.

01:12:54.280 Crispy.

01:12:55.080 I feel like this, the joy of this image is lost on you, Dio.

01:12:59.900 I could see that.

01:13:00.600 Yeah, look at that.

01:13:01.300 It's served on a banana leaf.

01:13:02.600 Look at how appetizing that is.

01:13:04.480 You know?

01:13:05.340 And then look at that one, the one from Medium.

01:13:07.660 The one, yeah, that one.

01:13:09.100 This is another Malaysian breakfast.

01:13:10.600 This is more Indian Malaysian style.

01:13:12.260 I like this one.

01:13:12.760 See, you have the roti, the thin bread, slightly crispy and airy.

01:13:16.580 You dip it in that yellow dal.

01:13:18.340 Oh, yeah.

01:13:19.360 Ah, man.

01:13:20.820 Again, it beats any ground beef quesadilla, man.

01:13:24.520 But in Qatar, they had a lot of beautiful sauces and stuff, too.

01:13:27.480 Yeah, we love...

01:13:28.260 Sauce is what makes life worth living, you know?

01:13:30.620 Yeah.

01:13:30.820 Add that to your cholesterol smoothie or something.

01:13:34.760 You're right, dude.

01:13:35.260 I'm a fucking idiot.

01:13:36.480 What am I doing?

01:13:37.120 There's all this great food and I'm eating the same shit all the time?

01:13:39.500 What a fucking loser.

01:13:40.860 Yeah.

01:13:41.600 Yeah.

01:13:41.860 We should make a video.

01:13:42.740 Do you like...

01:13:44.000 Maybe next time...

01:13:44.820 Maybe you can make Uncle Roger your meal and then let him judge it.

01:13:48.500 No, I'm a little snack f***, dude.

01:13:49.120 I'm f***ing losing my mind, bro, you know?

01:13:51.820 I've got to get it together, man.

01:13:53.780 And we'll bleep that word out.

01:13:55.020 Sorry, that was a little bit out of sorts.

01:13:56.720 Yeah.

01:13:57.540 And the shirt you're wearing, too, that's the national flower of Malaysia.

01:14:01.420 You want to know more about Malaysia?

01:14:02.260 That's a hibiscus.

01:14:03.300 Is it?

01:14:03.640 Did you wear that for me?

01:14:04.760 To show respect, yeah.

01:14:05.600 Oh, thank you, man.

01:14:06.720 I'll take it.

01:14:07.540 Look at that.

01:14:08.740 Oh, that's beautiful.

01:14:09.980 Yeah.

01:14:10.560 We have a lot of respect for Asian culture here.

01:14:12.900 Thank you.

01:14:13.620 And I think we want to...

01:14:14.440 Arigato gozaimasu.

01:14:15.520 Oh.

01:14:16.040 Yeah, that's Japanese, but you know.

01:14:17.300 It is?

01:14:17.820 Yeah.

01:14:18.080 Arigato.

01:14:19.840 Hajimimashite.

01:14:21.040 Huh?

01:14:22.140 Hajimimashite.

01:14:23.140 I don't know what that means.

01:14:23.960 Oh.

01:14:24.200 I know one word.

01:14:25.000 Oh.

01:14:25.380 Our friendship begins.

01:14:26.280 That's what it means in Japanese.

01:14:28.220 Thank you.

01:14:28.720 Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.

01:14:30.180 I love the way they say thank you in Japan.

01:14:33.020 They just bow at you.

01:14:35.060 Yeah.

01:14:35.420 The most polite Asian people.

01:14:37.080 I know.

01:14:37.600 You know?

01:14:37.900 Have you been there?

01:14:38.360 Have you toured there?

01:14:39.240 Beautiful.

01:14:40.220 Yeah, I've been to Japan.

01:14:42.340 I haven't toured there, though.

01:14:43.760 Oh, you should tour there.

01:14:44.680 I think you'll get a good crowd.

01:14:45.580 You think so?

01:14:46.460 The expat crowd.

01:14:47.560 Yeah.

01:14:47.760 And then maybe a few, like, random Japanese people who got lost.

01:14:51.760 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:52.280 Just saw a sign.

01:14:53.980 I like the hair cuter.

01:14:57.300 I just end up with your show.

01:14:58.960 What?

01:14:59.140 Yeah, dude, the thing of, let's, what are some of the, like, some Asians get no credit,

01:15:06.020 the Laotians, right?

01:15:07.340 Yeah.

01:15:08.940 Laotian people.

01:15:09.960 Yeah.

01:15:10.060 You never met.

01:15:10.640 They, I pissed them off one time.

01:15:12.600 Did you?

01:15:13.000 Because I said, what did I say?

01:15:14.600 Oh, Uncle Roger said, Cambodian and, and Laotian food is like a shit version of Thai food.

01:15:20.080 Hmm.

01:15:20.520 And they get mad when they insult their food, man.

01:15:22.900 The Laotians.

01:15:23.660 Yeah.

01:15:24.080 Laotians and Cambodians.

01:15:25.440 Oh.

01:15:26.000 I still think it's, okay, maybe not Laot, but Cambodian food.

01:15:28.960 Yeah.

01:15:29.080 It's kind of true in a way.

01:15:30.040 I think Thai, Thai people perfected that region's food.

01:15:33.880 You think so?

01:15:34.480 Yeah.

01:15:34.660 Because they, they took inspiration from the Laotian people, their own Thai people.

01:15:38.580 And Cambodia, you guys bombed them to shit.

01:15:41.080 So that's why they couldn't, yeah, that's why.

01:15:43.500 It's hard to eat with the bombing.

01:15:44.940 Yeah.

01:15:45.620 I know.

01:15:46.140 It's hard to enjoy your noodles when there's a landmine next to you.

01:15:49.000 Just like, don't drop the chopstick.

01:15:51.880 It's going to trigger the explosion.

01:15:54.700 Yeah.

01:15:55.060 I've been to Cambodia.

01:15:56.320 Sometimes it makes me sad.

01:15:57.840 You've been to Cambodia?

01:15:58.540 Yeah.

01:15:58.720 Yeah.

01:15:58.880 Yeah.

01:15:59.080 I've been to, what's it called?

01:16:02.180 Angkor Wat.

01:16:03.160 That's it.

01:16:03.540 Angkor Wat.

01:16:04.040 Yeah.

01:16:04.120 Yeah.

01:16:04.240 Yeah.

01:16:04.520 Yeah.

01:16:04.640 And it's right next to Vietnam.

01:16:07.180 Yeah.

01:16:07.400 And is it, it makes you sad because of just the aftermath of the war there and stuff?

01:16:11.180 Yeah.

01:16:11.540 Aftermath of the war.

01:16:12.420 And you just see people who've lost limbs.

01:16:15.560 Oh.

01:16:16.200 You know?

01:16:16.820 Because you plant, and there's still active landmines there.

01:16:19.540 Oh.

01:16:19.780 So you never, you can't venture, you can't just venture off the path.

01:16:23.580 You know?

01:16:23.860 The tour guide tells you, don't walk off the path.

01:16:26.400 Everybody's walking.

01:16:27.060 You might step on a landmine.

01:16:28.520 Oh.

01:16:29.120 Yeah.

01:16:29.780 Who has that song, Landmine?

01:16:31.320 Who is that?

01:16:33.860 Landmines can be gay too.

01:16:35.880 Pooh.

01:16:37.060 Pooh.

01:16:39.500 Jazz hands.

01:16:40.560 Um.

01:16:41.740 Oh, it's Bruno Mars?

01:16:42.620 Catch a grenade for you, that song?

01:16:44.260 Oh, yeah.

01:16:44.780 That's what I'm thinking of.

01:16:45.440 Bruno Mars, I'll catch a grenade for you.

01:16:46.940 Oh.

01:16:47.940 But no, that is heartbreaking.

01:16:49.220 Can you bring that up?

01:16:49.980 Is that true?

01:16:50.440 How much landmines are still in Cambodia?

01:16:52.520 Yeah.

01:16:52.700 That's heartbreaking.

01:16:53.820 Yeah.

01:16:54.260 It's your...

01:16:55.260 And did we put them there?

01:16:56.500 I think so.

01:16:57.400 Oh.

01:16:57.600 I think what's the guy who, the president who passed away last year, I think.

01:17:03.560 Joe Biden?

01:17:04.380 No.

01:17:06.580 He's still kicking.

01:17:08.040 He's still kicking, I think.

01:17:10.460 Jimmy Carter.

01:17:11.720 Oh, Jimmy Carter, yeah.

01:17:12.700 Jimmy Carter.

01:17:13.180 Was he the one who...

01:17:14.220 There's somebody.

01:17:15.520 I don't fully know the history.

01:17:17.160 I just know that you guys were, you know, highly responsible in fucking the map.

01:17:21.540 I'm sure.

01:17:21.920 Let me see.

01:17:23.720 Millions of landmines.

01:17:24.540 Cambodia is one of the most heavily landmine-contaminated countries in the world, with estimates ranging

01:17:28.440 from four to six million landmines and unexploded ordnance scattered across the country.

01:17:35.100 As of the end of 2022, Cambodia had identified 681 square kilometers of land contaminated with

01:17:41.960 anti-personnel landmines.

01:17:44.020 God.

01:17:44.640 Yeah.

01:17:44.960 New areas of contamination are continually being discovered, making the precise number of

01:17:48.520 landmines difficult to determine.

01:17:50.900 And click on that third article over there, Human Progress.

01:17:54.400 On February 2025, Prime Minister Samdet De Hun Minit.

01:17:59.760 Samdet De Hun Minit.

01:18:01.180 How do you say it?

01:18:02.260 I don't know.

01:18:02.940 Oh, damn.

01:18:03.620 Yeah.

01:18:04.160 Highlighted the remarkable achievements in Cambodia's ongoing mine clearance campaign

01:18:07.580 over the past 32 years.

01:18:09.080 Since its inception in 1992, the IN initiative has successfully cleared nearly 3,300 square

01:18:14.480 kilometers of landmines.

01:18:15.820 Man.

01:18:17.100 Yeah.

01:18:17.540 They have more landmines than you have, like, Starbucks' here.

01:18:21.220 Yeah, but I mean, it just puts hopscotch on a whole new fucking level, huh?

01:18:25.060 Yeah.

01:18:25.920 Advanced hopscotch.

01:18:26.740 It's high-stakes hopscotch.

01:18:28.180 Just draw the lines.

01:18:29.140 Good luck.

01:18:30.640 Dude, this is horrible.

01:18:32.420 It's like a squid game over there.

01:18:34.300 Hopscotch squid game.

01:18:35.340 All you need is, like, a SimpliSafe camera set up on a tree over there to get your squid

01:18:40.160 game season three.

01:18:42.340 Oh.

01:18:43.440 Yeah.

01:18:43.780 What is this?

01:18:44.460 What Asian have the most, like, a lot of Asians squint when they look, right?

01:18:47.940 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:48.620 Which Asian have the most?

01:18:49.400 I think every race squint when they look.

01:18:50.920 Come on.

01:18:51.440 You squint when you look, too.

01:18:52.400 Oh, yeah.

01:18:52.760 I look a little Asian, man.

01:18:54.660 Yeah.

01:18:55.360 You got a little Asian in you.

01:18:57.080 Yeah.

01:18:58.400 Yeah.

01:18:58.840 I'm, uh, and what, but what Asian have the most squint?

01:19:01.580 Is there one that, like, what Asian has the one where you just want to put a couple quarters

01:19:04.700 in their face?

01:19:05.400 You know what I'm talking about?

01:19:06.540 Type of shit, you know?

01:19:08.920 The squinty, the squintiest Asians.

01:19:12.380 I don't know.

01:19:13.260 Maybe Mongolians because.

01:19:15.360 Bring them up.

01:19:15.820 Bring them up.

01:19:16.340 Yeah.

01:19:16.460 Because they have, like, really puffy cheeks in there.

01:19:19.940 Oh.

01:19:20.740 So it's a.

01:19:21.720 So it just push the cheeks, push the eyelids up, maybe.

01:19:24.420 Oh, beautiful.

01:19:26.060 I don't know.

01:19:26.440 I love that.

01:19:27.520 Yeah.

01:19:27.820 Squinty is.

01:19:28.160 Let me see what you search.

01:19:29.980 Let me see the Google search.

01:19:31.240 Yeah.

01:19:31.420 Show the search, man.

01:19:31.920 What Asian have the squintiest eyes?

01:19:33.940 I mean, that's going to get us in trouble, dude.

01:19:35.900 Oh, man.

01:19:36.580 I love, I would love to be on this brainstorming session when you guys had me on yesterday.

01:19:40.980 Brainstorming session?

01:19:41.700 Nigel's coming.

01:19:42.400 Why can we ask him?

01:19:43.240 I don't know.

01:19:44.600 Ask him?

01:19:45.100 We're afraid to say your name out loud.

01:19:47.480 In case this place is bugged by fucking Memphis PD, dude.

01:19:52.400 Yeah.

01:19:53.420 That's another Grok question.

01:19:55.100 Yeah.

01:19:55.560 Bring it up on Grok as well.

01:19:57.760 See if they can help us.

01:20:01.300 Some people say Japanese people because, like, the blast was so bright that they have, like,

01:20:06.660 a...

01:20:06.760 They need permanent sunglasses.

01:20:07.980 Well, it, like, it was a lot for the community.

01:20:11.460 It's all heartbreaking, man.

01:20:13.500 Oh, it's a stereotype tied to East Asian populations.

01:20:16.080 It's not a stereotype if it's kind of true, right?

01:20:18.560 I don't know.

01:20:19.140 Bring up some wide-eyed Asians in.

01:20:20.880 Let's see.

01:20:21.300 Because this could all be bullshit, man.

01:20:22.800 When I film myself on camera, I have to make sure the camera's positioned a certain way if there's an emotion I want to convey.

01:20:28.880 Because otherwise, if I look down, it's just a slit.

01:20:31.880 Yeah.

01:20:32.120 You know?

01:20:32.620 So I know I experienced that problem.

01:20:35.880 Oh, this is beautiful.

01:20:37.220 Yeah, I think this is a stereotype, man.

01:20:38.620 We might want to get rid of that stereotype.

01:20:40.340 I don't know if that's true.

01:20:41.560 I think it's true, man.

01:20:43.220 What are common plastic surgeries that some Asians get in order to adjust themselves?

01:20:48.440 We make our eyes bigger.

01:20:49.860 Make our eyes bigger?

01:20:50.520 Yeah.

01:20:50.720 Oh, look at the one lady.

01:20:51.400 He's got one eye big and one eye regular.

01:20:53.080 Look at that.

01:20:53.620 Second row, left, left.

01:20:55.720 Oh, that's makeup.

01:20:57.740 Nuh-uh.

01:20:58.600 And I think contact lenses.

01:21:00.740 That's makeup?

01:21:01.440 Let's play it.

01:21:03.400 Yeah, that's crazy.

01:21:06.540 Asian bring catfish to a whole new level.

01:21:08.900 Yeah.

01:21:13.100 Ooh.

01:21:15.240 It's like one of those Rorschach tricks.

01:21:17.240 No.

01:21:18.240 Search, like, crazy Chinese makeup and you'll see it on TikTok.

01:21:21.900 But the beauty of it is how artistic that Asians are.

01:21:26.660 Yeah, but it takes ages.

01:21:28.220 It takes so much time out of your day.

01:21:30.440 Yeah.

01:21:31.460 Asians, they call them.

01:21:32.720 Yeah.

01:21:33.620 Look at this woman just transform.

01:21:35.740 Nuh-uh.

01:21:36.440 Yeah.

01:21:38.260 Oh, she even puts a fake nose on to make the nose slimmer.

01:21:41.980 Oh, look at this, huh?

01:21:44.100 Oh, it's Rob Schneider.

01:21:45.120 Make the face simmer.

01:21:50.080 It's just a joke, Rob.

01:21:52.860 Wow, this is really...

01:21:54.420 This is what Jeff Bezos' wife does, you know?

01:21:58.240 This is crazy, bro.

01:21:59.680 This really happens?

01:22:05.280 I think this is a rare case, you know?

01:22:07.920 Yeah.

01:22:08.540 All of Rob, though.

01:22:09.620 Getting close, dude.

01:22:10.840 Yeah.

01:22:11.500 He's the after.

01:22:12.560 That's almost L. King, at least.

01:22:15.440 Yeah, he's the after, bro.

01:22:17.760 Rob just performed down in Louisiana.

01:22:19.220 It was pretty cool.

01:22:19.940 What else can we talk about?

01:22:24.500 How many episodes do you put out a week?

01:22:26.200 Three, four, two?

01:22:27.200 No, no, no, no.

01:22:28.200 One or two.

01:22:28.940 One or two.

01:22:29.360 We put out six a month.

01:22:30.700 Ah, okay.

01:22:32.140 So that's kind of where we're at in the space right now.

01:22:36.940 It's interesting because, you know, over time, you start thinking, like, well, you start

01:22:41.420 learning more stuff.

01:22:42.620 Yeah.

01:22:42.820 So then there's more stuff you want to talk about, right?

01:22:44.660 Uh-huh.

01:22:44.900 And then you start thinking, well, I want to, you know, if people are listening, I want

01:22:48.680 to introduce some of the things that I like that I think are neat, you know, or people

01:22:51.920 that it's like, oh, maybe they wouldn't know about, you know?

01:22:54.460 Yeah.

01:22:54.660 Like, if half of our audience doesn't know about you and they listen and they love you,

01:22:58.280 like, I've had a great time chatting, man.

01:23:00.100 It's been very fun.

01:23:01.280 Same.

01:23:01.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:23:02.140 Yeah.

01:23:02.340 And I was, like, kind of worried.

01:23:03.420 I was like, I don't know what it's going to be like, but-

01:23:05.860 He's a normal guy, man.

01:23:06.960 You're hilarious, dude.

01:23:08.080 Thank you.

01:23:08.540 Thank you.

01:23:08.900 Thank you.

01:23:09.060 So funny, dude.

01:23:09.920 And so I'm like, yeah, I think it's just things like that.

01:23:13.860 And then I would like to be able to learn more stuff, like, have people in to learn more.

01:23:19.580 You know, we're trying to have a healthcare, like, a doctor from Gaza who's been, like,

01:23:23.460 over there come on.

01:23:25.300 We're trying to have somebody come on about dopamine and, like, the effects of, like, dopamine

01:23:29.340 addiction and kind of where we are as, like, especially as men, you know, being addicted.

01:23:34.260 And then always jerking off.

01:23:36.660 We always talk about that kind of stuff.

01:23:38.000 And if we can get better.

01:23:38.900 You got to get that guy who's trying to live forever.

01:23:41.360 That Brian Johnson guy.

01:23:42.640 Yeah, we saw that guy, huh?

01:23:43.780 Yeah.

01:23:44.620 I'm fascinated by him.

01:23:45.940 He's almost Korean, huh?

01:23:47.300 Yeah, he looks like it.

01:23:48.540 Everybody turns Asian after a while.

01:23:50.400 Ariana Grande, her latest look is Asian.

01:23:54.480 Oh, yeah.

01:23:55.060 ASEAN, they call it in some places.

01:23:56.940 ASEAN-A-Grande.

01:23:58.060 ASEAN-A-Grande.

01:23:59.200 Yeah, look at this guy.

01:24:00.400 Definitely.

01:24:01.220 Yeah, he's turning into a K-pop star.

01:24:03.960 Oh, play our song again real quick.

01:24:08.900 Whether you like it or you love it.

01:24:12.080 Whether you're kissing or you're touching.

01:24:14.560 Don't lie the last.

01:24:15.620 Oh, roger, roger, roger.

01:24:18.580 It's no bedtime.

01:24:20.180 It's no bedtime.

01:24:22.100 Yeah, this is crazy, man.

01:24:23.520 And do Asian people think, like, they want to live forever?

01:24:25.960 Is that more of an American thing?

01:24:27.360 I think it's an American thing, man.

01:24:28.980 We accept our fate, you know?

01:24:31.120 Really?

01:24:31.440 But that's what I like about you guys.

01:24:32.740 You think you can change things.

01:24:34.200 And sometimes you can, you know?

01:24:35.900 Maybe he will live forever.

01:24:37.780 But I have so many relatives who are, like, old.

01:24:40.740 And given how annoying they are, I don't want them to live forever, man.

01:24:44.580 Like, imagine if you're this annoying at 70.

01:24:47.020 Imagine if you're at 700.

01:24:49.240 Oh, how annoying would you be?

01:24:51.740 Yeah, the worst.

01:24:52.960 Yeah.

01:24:54.020 That's part of the reason why I want to do my wedding in Europe.

01:24:56.680 So hopefully none of them can come, you know?

01:24:59.260 It's too far.

01:25:00.280 You have a hip replacement.

01:25:01.180 Oh, dude, definitely.

01:25:02.060 Because a lot of the air travel really wear on some of that metal.

01:25:04.940 Yeah.

01:25:05.680 They can't even walk through the TSA.

01:25:07.280 They start beeping.

01:25:08.680 Yeah, they need, yeah, I'm trying to think about Asians.

01:25:13.860 But in a sense, the thing you want to do with your channel,

01:25:16.980 introducing people to more things,

01:25:18.460 that's kind of the same with what I want to do, you know?

01:25:20.840 Especially for my food.

01:25:21.940 Because food is so tied to culture, right?

01:25:25.120 So there are a lot of videos where, sure, you know,

01:25:27.520 a lot of them is me roasting celebrity chefs,

01:25:29.420 but there are also a lot where Uncle Roger travels to a place.

01:25:31.980 Like my recent one, I went to Thailand,

01:25:34.280 and I got someone who lives there to show me.

01:25:36.140 Mark Wiens, another big food person.

01:25:37.440 Oh, you ate at 6.30 a.m.

01:25:38.800 You ate in the morning.

01:25:39.600 Oh, yeah.

01:25:40.200 Thai green curry in the morning.

01:25:41.580 Oh, the best I've tasted.

01:25:43.380 So good.

01:25:44.360 And I feel like a lot of the times when Western people go to Asia,

01:25:47.800 they always show the weirdest parts of what Asian people eat, you know?

01:25:51.600 Yeah, like, come eat these cat nuts or whatever, huh?

01:25:54.160 Yeah.

01:25:54.820 So I feel like me doing this is kind of like,

01:25:57.840 almost like an insider view of Asia,

01:25:59.860 compared to like a Western perspective of Asia.

01:26:02.720 And I feel like that's my little contribution to the internet.

01:26:05.320 Hmm.

01:26:06.640 Yeah.

01:26:07.180 Oh, there you go.

01:26:07.880 Oh, yeah.

01:26:08.240 That's me.

01:26:08.920 And that's just a secret curry spice.

01:26:12.100 I look good.

01:26:12.720 This is a high effort podcast, man.

01:26:14.220 You got a Photoshop person on board?

01:26:16.700 Yeah, we got one guy.

01:26:18.720 But it's just a secret seasoning you're selling.

01:26:21.900 Yeah.

01:26:22.540 That'd be great.

01:26:23.500 That's a chili sauce.

01:26:25.160 That's my new chili sauce.

01:26:27.180 Well, I think Asian food is just expanding in the U.S.

01:26:30.200 I'm sure that it's just growing.

01:26:31.780 Look that up.

01:26:32.360 Is Asian cuisine growing in America?

01:26:34.980 It must be.

01:26:35.460 Definitely, definitely.

01:26:36.380 And there are so many of us globally, you know?

01:26:38.860 Of Asian.

01:26:39.560 Yeah, yeah.

01:26:40.040 Oh, yeah.

01:26:41.180 Oh, you see one Asian, you've seen them all.

01:26:43.120 That's the old motto.

01:26:44.040 Yeah.

01:26:46.320 Asian cuisine is growing.

01:26:47.740 It's growing in popularity in America.

01:26:48.820 This is reflected in the increase of Asian restaurants.

01:26:50.420 Well, that's easy to say.

01:26:51.220 So it's getting more and more specific.

01:26:52.660 Oh, sorry.

01:26:53.080 Please read first.

01:26:53.640 Go back up.

01:26:54.400 U.S. visitors to Asia saw a 33% jump,

01:26:56.680 while Oceania and Central America each saw a 30% increase.

01:26:59.320 So people just traveling.

01:27:00.540 Yeah.

01:27:01.120 Traveling overall is just increasing their palate.

01:27:03.080 Japan is the gateway drug to Asia.

01:27:05.200 Really?

01:27:05.540 Because Americans love Japan.

01:27:07.420 But then when they get there, they love it so much,

01:27:09.480 then you get the courage to explore other parts of Asia.

01:27:12.540 Thailand, Cambodia.

01:27:14.380 Yeah.

01:27:14.580 See the landmines, you know?

01:27:16.260 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:17.080 See the ladyboys in Bangkok.

01:27:19.360 Oh, dude, yeah.

01:27:20.540 They'll both blow you up.

01:27:22.020 Yeah.

01:27:23.500 Yeah.

01:27:23.860 One's a little nicer, I think.

01:27:27.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:27:29.200 Yeah, I think Thailand's been doing the trans thing for a long time.

01:27:33.360 They've nailed it.

01:27:34.480 Yeah.

01:27:34.860 I think.

01:27:35.600 And that's growing too.

01:27:36.840 Men that prefer trans women.

01:27:39.680 And bring that up.

01:27:41.480 How much are people enjoying more trans sexual?

01:27:45.740 But the trans people in Thailand are like hot, hot.

01:27:49.200 Oh.

01:27:49.440 You know, they put a lot of effort into their process.

01:27:53.840 Oh, yeah.

01:27:54.640 They're not just these bootleg trans people.

01:27:57.120 They have pageants.

01:27:57.760 They have competitions.

01:27:58.640 Yeah.

01:27:58.820 Here we just have some fucking fit ginger running around with a bra on during the streets

01:28:04.460 of New Orleans or a Mardi Gras, and he's yelling that he's into something new or whatever.

01:28:08.240 It's like, bitch, you're not.

01:28:10.000 You're just a fucking some St. Patrick's Day bear.

01:28:13.140 Yeah.

01:28:14.140 You know?

01:28:15.060 These are men right here.

01:28:16.320 Yeah, they're all dudes, man.

01:28:18.120 Well, what are we?

01:28:18.920 If you hadn't have told me that, I would be empty in an hour.

01:28:22.260 I'm just saying, sometimes people just say wiener is just long pussy.

01:28:31.020 I don't think anybody said that.

01:28:33.260 I think it's just you, Theo.

01:28:35.640 A wiener is a long pussy?

01:28:37.520 I think that's just you, man.

01:28:39.260 I think it's something you hear if you put your, you know, if you.

01:28:42.440 If you really dig the internet, dig deep.

01:28:46.600 Wiener is just that long pussy.

01:28:49.060 Who won?

01:28:49.800 The pageant was inaugurated in 1998.

01:28:52.260 Okay, let me get a little bit more of this because this is really fascinating.

01:28:55.600 Sandra Pimai Panyakam collapsed to the floor and shed tears of joy after she was announced

01:29:02.080 the winner of the 25th Miss Tiffany pageant held at the Tiffany Show Theater in Patia on

01:29:06.940 Sunday night.

01:29:08.440 Sarutu triumphed after failing to catch the judge's eye on four previous appearances as

01:29:12.700 a Miss Tiffany contestant.

01:29:14.500 Wow.

01:29:16.040 Miss Tiffany, a nod to the pageant's original goal of promoting human rights and equality

01:29:20.240 for transgender people in Thailand and around the world.

01:29:23.000 Are transgender people accepted in Thailand?

01:29:25.460 Yeah.

01:29:26.100 They are.

01:29:26.580 Yeah.

01:29:26.880 So it's a big part of their culture.

01:29:28.300 It's a big part of their culture.

01:29:29.080 They've dealt with this shit ahead of the time.

01:29:31.340 You know, I think the arguments people have over here about the trans issue, I think Thailand

01:29:36.040 probably had that 20 years ago.

01:29:38.120 So now it's just part of society.

01:29:41.020 They don't even think about the pronouns.

01:29:42.500 They just get called like she, her or whatever they want to get called.

01:29:45.720 So it's nice.

01:29:47.280 I think we can learn from that a little bit.

01:29:49.980 For sure.

01:29:50.740 I think.

01:29:53.480 Yeah.

01:29:53.880 These people are beautiful.

01:29:54.640 Wow.

01:29:54.860 This is a, that's a young lady, huh?

01:29:57.660 Yeah.

01:29:57.920 They look good, man.

01:29:59.440 Hey, it's like, you don't know what you don't know.

01:30:01.500 You know, don't come on my back and tell me it's raining, you know?

01:30:04.200 That's that old wife's tale.

01:30:09.340 I think you've got to tour Thailand next.

01:30:11.440 Wow.

01:30:12.140 I don't know.

01:30:12.980 I don't want.

01:30:13.380 You don't want to risk finding out you enjoy this?

01:30:15.760 I don't know.

01:30:16.320 You just, you know, you don't want to accidentally bring sand to the freaking wiener beach or whatever,

01:30:20.760 you know?

01:30:21.340 But yeah.

01:30:21.980 Oh no, dude.

01:30:22.480 I think this is great.

01:30:23.300 But I think the issue that we have in America, and that's just a joke, but I think the issue

01:30:26.480 that we have in America is that it's, you have men using it mostly for sports,

01:30:31.000 right?

01:30:31.260 It's like, if you're going over to play sports and you know you're a biological male,

01:30:34.800 to me, it just feels like you're cheating, right?

01:30:36.940 We should have a class that's just for trans people and let them compete there.

01:30:43.160 Yeah, yeah.

01:30:43.400 And let it be a new thing that we embody and embrace.

01:30:46.100 And that's the thing I would try to start if I'm trans.

01:30:48.180 Like, don't put me in with men or put me in with women if I'm not exactly as them.

01:30:53.960 Let me do something new.

01:30:55.900 I think that's why they have the pageants.

01:30:57.540 So they keep them busy with the pageants so they don't do sports.

01:31:00.260 Oh, that's a good point.

01:31:01.580 Oh, yeah.

01:31:02.000 If you're too busy.

01:31:03.760 Yeah.

01:31:04.300 These are actual biological women, and they don't look near as good, nearly as good.

01:31:08.920 That's a good point, huh?

01:31:10.240 Yeah.

01:31:11.040 Maybe we're coming to a unique time in culture where men are tired of being men, so they

01:31:15.640 would rather spend their time looking like women.

01:31:17.380 And women are tired of being women, and they would rather be-

01:31:21.800 Spend time looking like men.

01:31:23.760 Yeah.

01:31:24.520 They can do whatever they want, man.

01:31:25.920 I think if you become a woman, there's a benefit, too.

01:31:28.380 You can actually become a Qatari citizen, right?

01:31:31.100 Oh, that's a good point, huh?

01:31:32.140 And marry the Qatari male citizen.

01:31:36.180 Yeah, there's a loophole.

01:31:37.260 There's a loophole.

01:31:37.920 Mmm, I like this, huh?

01:31:39.660 Yeah.

01:31:39.800 That's the dessert on the menu at Fuyo.

01:31:43.520 It's Uncle Roger, yeah.

01:31:45.620 That dessert is a secret path to Qatari citizenship.

01:31:48.720 I like that.

01:31:49.540 I like that.

01:31:50.880 One last thing I want to talk to you about.

01:31:53.220 Oh, you hear a lot about Taiwan and China, right?

01:31:56.300 Oh, yeah.

01:31:57.780 That's gotten some trouble there a few years ago.

01:32:00.780 Just what?

01:32:01.380 Talking about it?

01:32:02.020 Or what do you-

01:32:02.400 I just had a joke.

01:32:03.300 If you search Uncle Roger VS China, I just did a bit that works all over the world.

01:32:09.400 I did that bit in Bangkok and Toronto and LA.

01:32:12.560 It works all over the world.

01:32:13.760 So I kind of just want to gently roast Taiwan and gently roast China.

01:32:17.120 And then right after that, all my Chinese social media accounts got banned.

01:32:21.780 You know?

01:32:22.200 Really?

01:32:22.660 Yeah, that was two years ago.

01:32:24.220 Everything got wiped.

01:32:25.240 If you search Uncle Roger on those Chinese social media apps, you'll find nothing.

01:32:29.280 Even though I had like hundreds of thousands of followers before that.

01:32:32.160 Really?

01:32:32.660 Yeah.

01:32:32.900 And did you have-

01:32:34.540 Oh, yeah.

01:32:35.060 Wow, this has 40 million views, Uncle Roger?

01:32:37.660 Yeah.

01:32:38.140 It's a YouTube short.

01:32:39.480 Those things go viral sometimes.

01:32:41.120 Not this viral.

01:32:42.000 Yeah, play it if you want.

01:32:42.380 This is the most viral thing since COVID out of China.

01:32:44.920 China.

01:32:45.920 China.

01:32:46.540 Okay.

01:32:46.780 China.

01:32:47.480 Good country.

01:32:48.280 Good country.

01:32:49.540 Good country.

01:32:50.740 Good country.

01:32:52.480 Woo!

01:32:53.760 We have to say that now, correct?

01:32:57.280 All their phone listening.

01:32:58.540 All their phone listening.

01:33:00.980 This nephew got Huawei phone.

01:33:02.800 They all listening.

01:33:04.380 All our phone tap into it.

01:33:05.820 Long live presidency.

01:33:07.460 Long live presidency.

01:33:10.280 Woo!

01:33:12.460 Uncle Roger's social credit score going up.

01:33:14.820 Nice.

01:33:17.460 And he's a nephew from Taiwan.

01:33:21.200 Not a real country.

01:33:22.460 Not a real-

01:33:23.080 Oh.

01:33:25.440 Not a real country.

01:33:28.160 I hope one day you rejoin the motherland.

01:33:30.620 One China.

01:33:34.520 That's hilarious, dude.

01:33:36.000 Yeah.

01:33:36.100 So is that a real feeling in Taiwan?

01:33:37.980 Some of them feel like they should be part of China and some people don't?

01:33:40.400 Yes.

01:33:40.760 It's a very divided thing.

01:33:42.040 But most people don't want to be part of China.

01:33:44.960 Yeah.

01:33:45.300 Taiwan is a very interesting place.

01:33:46.540 They do not use any of the Chinese social media apps.

01:33:49.160 They use the Western ones.

01:33:50.200 They use Facebook, Google, Instagram.

01:33:53.000 Whereas in China, all those things are blocked.

01:33:55.080 Oh.

01:33:55.380 You know?

01:33:56.500 And, you know, I released this clip and then everything got wiped from Chinese socials.

01:34:01.860 And then, remember last year or a few months ago, everybody was getting on Red Note, this Chinese app?

01:34:06.800 Yes.

01:34:07.220 I tried re-registering for an account.

01:34:09.300 And the moment I uploaded my profile photo, that whole account got wiped again.

01:34:13.360 No.

01:34:13.540 So they have some sort of, I'm in some sort of database over there.

01:34:18.120 So China's against you, you think?

01:34:20.680 I probably can still visit if I get a visa, but I don't know if I want to risk it, you know?

01:34:26.260 Yeah.

01:34:26.500 And they just probably don't want you having a say in what China is like.

01:34:30.300 They just don't want you having a voice in their country.

01:34:32.440 Yeah.

01:34:32.920 Yeah.

01:34:33.560 But, you know, it is what it is.

01:34:35.480 Sometimes, I think in the U.S., we take free speech for granted sometimes.

01:34:39.500 And we forget that not all countries are like this.

01:34:42.360 In the U.S., you say anything, and the worst thing that happens is people get mad at you.

01:34:47.560 Yeah.

01:34:47.880 Right?

01:34:48.220 In the comments, whatever.

01:34:50.220 I don't know.

01:34:51.260 I mean, these days, a lot of things get taken down, even in the U.S.

01:34:54.720 I feel like there's things you can't say.

01:34:56.200 I think things get submerged, you know?

01:34:59.180 Or like, what is it called?

01:35:00.720 Shadow banned?

01:35:01.740 Shadow banned.

01:35:02.380 True, true.

01:35:03.160 But in a stand-up context, I feel we get more leeway.

01:35:06.120 Oh, that's a great point.

01:35:07.140 Yeah.

01:35:07.380 In a stand-up context, we get so much freedom here.

01:35:10.240 What is the biggest issue over there with Taiwan?

01:35:12.060 Do you think that they'll remain free?

01:35:13.340 Because they make some of the most semiconductors in the world, right?

01:35:16.580 TSMC, that company, yeah.

01:35:18.280 Taiwan, semiconductor.

01:35:19.120 Taiwan's...

01:35:19.760 TSMC is the only reason China hasn't attacked Taiwan yet, you know?

01:35:23.140 Wow.

01:35:23.840 That's too valuable.

01:35:25.620 China and the United States both view Taiwan's dominance of the global tech supply chain as

01:35:29.980 a national security risk.

01:35:31.540 In response, they have tried to boost their own capacity to make chips they need.

01:35:35.660 Yeah, I think they're trying to make more chips in the U.S.

01:35:38.140 I know that that was something I saw a couple weeks ago.

01:35:42.560 NVIDIA's chief says U.S. chip controls on China have backfired.

01:35:48.100 Jensen Huang, who I'd love to talk to, the chip maker's top executive from NVIDIA, they're

01:35:55.240 the number one, they're the leader in chips, I believe, said the attempt to cut off the

01:35:59.000 flow of advanced AI chips spurred Chinese companies to accelerate their development.

01:36:04.360 Wow.

01:36:05.960 Lawmakers in Washington have worked for years to limit China's access to the cutting-edge

01:36:10.200 computer chips needed for advanced artificial intelligence, particularly those made by

01:36:14.920 NVIDIA, America's leading chip maker.

01:36:17.140 And yeah, so these are the chips that are used for AI.

01:36:19.900 And for some reason...

01:36:20.720 AI weapons, you know, rockets.

01:36:22.980 Right, it's just there's...

01:36:23.880 And for some reason, they make them the best over here, right?

01:36:27.340 Taiwan has the best ones.

01:36:28.880 I think so.

01:36:29.560 So far, I think.

01:36:30.460 But according to NVIDIA's chief executive, Jensen Huang, those regulations driven by economic

01:36:36.940 and security concerns have only made Chinese tech companies stronger.

01:36:40.380 Wow.

01:36:41.600 Yeah.

01:36:41.940 I mean, this is the type of thing somebody would go to war because whoever controls this

01:36:45.360 is going to control a lot of things.

01:36:47.040 I think this is going over my head, man.

01:36:48.420 I just buy some Bitcoin and call it a day, you know?

01:36:51.800 Yeah.

01:36:52.900 Oh, me too.

01:36:53.600 I'm just wondering what could happen to the people of Taiwan, right?

01:36:56.180 I think that's my question is like, do people there live every day?

01:37:00.020 It must be weird there every day.

01:37:01.400 You're going to a factory probably and creating these chips, but knowing that the creation

01:37:06.180 of these chips could have a semblance on if your country gets attacked or attempted to

01:37:12.900 be controlled.

01:37:13.480 It has to be very strange, I feel like, you know?

01:37:16.020 Do you think that makes any sense or no?

01:37:17.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:37:18.060 They have this maybe this added responsibility.

01:37:20.540 I better make a good fucking chip, otherwise China's going to ruin us.

01:37:24.020 Right, or by keeping to make these, like, what if we all decided we're not going to

01:37:26.720 make them?

01:37:27.020 Would they all just leave us alone and we could just be at peace?

01:37:29.780 No, if Taiwan stops making them, China's going to attack it.

01:37:34.700 China needs those chips right now.

01:37:36.300 That's why they're not bombing the factories.

01:37:38.260 Oh, I see.

01:37:38.720 So they need them because they're supplying them.

01:37:40.400 Yes, yes.

01:37:41.320 So if you stop making them, that'll be like, you know, if like a, what do you call it?

01:37:45.200 A bin man, a garbage truck person, you know, if they suck at their job, the whole country

01:37:50.200 gets attacked.

01:37:50.920 Oh, yeah.

01:37:51.380 That would be stressful.

01:37:52.800 Oh, it'd be the worst.

01:37:54.500 Imagine you're walking in and out.

01:37:56.700 If you got the order wrong, Mexico's coming.

01:38:01.680 Do, um, this may be one of my last questions.

01:38:04.340 Do you think, so a lot of goods from America are made in Asia.

01:38:08.720 Yeah.

01:38:09.160 Right?

01:38:09.500 Yeah.

01:38:10.040 Do you think that, how do Asian people feel about that?

01:38:13.660 Like, do they take a lot of pride that they make it all these like things that go all

01:38:17.740 over the world?

01:38:18.460 Do they just feel like it's just a means to an end and there's not a lot of pride in it?

01:38:22.860 Like, what does that feel like?

01:38:24.100 Do you feel like, especially probably to China?

01:38:25.740 China's the place that gets labeled a lot as like making everything, you know?

01:38:29.100 Yeah.

01:38:29.780 What do you, what have you heard or like, what do people say about that?

01:38:33.060 Does that make sense to you?

01:38:33.880 Yeah.

01:38:34.160 Malaysia makes quite a few things too.

01:38:35.680 Not as much as China, for sure.

01:38:38.100 I feel like to us, it's, it's, it's a job and it's a decent job.

01:38:42.620 And without those manufacturing jobs, those people will have a shittier life, you know?

01:38:47.560 So I think we, we, we like that those things, you know, globalization, I think when people

01:38:53.480 talk about globalization, they see from the American perspective, yeah, you are, you are

01:38:56.820 losing jobs to the outside world.

01:38:58.680 But on the flip side, we, we Asians are gaining some jobs that pay better than those jobs that

01:39:05.600 existed prior.

01:39:06.480 Like, you know, working at a hawker stall, selling noodles all day, manufacturing shoes

01:39:10.920 probably pays them more.

01:39:12.460 And I think this is a tough part, right?

01:39:14.000 Some, sometimes the, sometimes the economy I feel is a zero sum game, right?

01:39:18.300 Making the shoe, it's either a job in America or a job in Asia.

01:39:21.160 We only need so many shoes, right?

01:39:23.140 So, but we do think it is good.

01:39:26.060 It helps us elevate our quality of life.

01:39:28.440 And, and hopefully in a few generations time, uh, the Asians will have made more money and

01:39:33.560 then maybe we won't have to do those menial manufacturing jobs anymore.

01:39:37.280 But for now, you know, it's, that's the same thing where there was a news article,

01:39:41.680 I think it came out recently, a couple of years, last year, maybe where in New York,

01:39:45.620 they were starting to use, um, you know, like self checkout lines, but then you had a FaceTime

01:39:50.780 video calling someone from the Philippines, the, the persons being the checkout, the cashier

01:39:54.980 for you from the Philippines.

01:39:56.980 Oh, so you had like a, you had a zoom call with a checkout person.

01:40:00.240 Yeah.

01:40:00.400 Yeah.

01:40:00.820 So the whole internet hated it.

01:40:03.260 But then from my perspective, it's like the person in the Philippines is probably getting

01:40:07.360 paid way more than any job that she would have gotten, the person that they would have

01:40:11.840 gotten in the Philippines.

01:40:13.300 And this is, it's just a hard part of, it's not an easy problem to solve, right?

01:40:17.060 Global inequality.

01:40:18.660 And I think it just takes time maybe.

01:40:21.340 And, and just the hope is one day globalization will just even the playing field.

01:40:25.680 Everybody can afford the, the, the, the things we need in life, healthcare, a house, vehicle,

01:40:31.860 that, those things.

01:40:32.580 So that's my take on it.

01:40:33.980 It's not very funny, but hopefully, yeah, that, that's, that's the thing.

01:40:37.100 Oh, Philippine.

01:40:37.860 Yeah.

01:40:38.160 Yeah.

01:40:38.920 But no, I think that's great.

01:40:40.160 I just always wonder, like, I always think like, oh yeah, it's just like how I look at

01:40:43.540 it from my perspective as an American.

01:40:44.880 I never think like, well, what do these people feel about it?

01:40:46.840 Like, you know, we probably like it to, to the Philippine, Filipino person.

01:40:51.380 Oh, for sure.

01:40:51.840 She's just working from home, putting a fake Zoom background.

01:40:54.900 Nothing, huh?

01:40:55.340 Just clocking in.

01:40:56.400 Cooking.

01:40:56.700 Yeah.

01:40:56.960 Not even cooking.

01:40:57.760 She's just checking out the cashier.

01:40:59.440 Yeah.

01:40:59.640 But she could be cooking at the same time.

01:41:00.960 Yeah.

01:41:01.080 She could be cooking for her, yeah, for her kids.

01:41:02.600 She'll be home for her kids.

01:41:04.360 Because in Asia, people work, work long hours, man.

01:41:06.640 There's some, you know, in Malaysia, we have domestic helpers sometimes who are coming from Indonesia

01:41:11.740 and they live with us, right?

01:41:14.160 So they're just gone from their families three years at a time.

01:41:18.140 And they, they get one day off a week, maybe, where they get to call their family.

01:41:23.460 So this Filipino job, this virtual cashier job, that's like the best job.

01:41:29.740 That's working remotely, man.

01:41:30.860 That's being a digital nomad for them.

01:41:32.760 Yeah, I like that.

01:41:33.300 I love that shit.

01:41:33.920 They're doing that in Bali, you know.

01:41:35.300 I like that shit.

01:41:35.940 I like that shit.

01:41:37.540 Yeah.

01:41:37.760 But what about this?

01:41:38.720 So, and I'll say this, round of applause for Filipinos.

01:41:41.320 I want to say that, right?

01:41:42.140 Yes.

01:41:42.540 Joe Coy.

01:41:44.460 Doing a good job.

01:41:45.120 Joe Coy did good.

01:41:45.820 Yeah.

01:41:45.920 Doing a good job.

01:41:46.580 Yeah.

01:41:47.000 But I want to say Filipinos, it's funny because they're usually the last people you see before

01:41:53.540 you die because a lot of them work in hospice care.

01:41:55.840 Oh, that's true.

01:41:57.340 You know?

01:41:57.980 I was wondering where this conversation was going.

01:42:00.300 Oh, yeah.

01:42:00.880 It's going on.

01:42:01.380 And you just see the light and then there's a Filipino person.

01:42:04.000 It's just like, well, the light is a little bit-

01:42:05.440 Blocking the light.

01:42:06.100 It's a little bit blocked, yeah, by like one Filipino person with like a stethoscope, you know?

01:42:09.760 Yeah, it's Joe Coy blocking the light.

01:42:11.360 But they often have a lot of the same name.

01:42:15.480 You know, David.

01:42:16.240 David.

01:42:18.480 David.

01:42:19.140 David.

01:42:19.620 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:21.940 What's another one?

01:42:23.320 Maria.

01:42:24.380 Susie.

01:42:25.160 Susie.

01:42:26.560 Popular.

01:42:27.460 Look at a popular Filipino American names.

01:42:29.600 Then we'll get you out of here.

01:42:30.740 Yeah.

01:42:31.440 Maria.

01:42:32.000 Christina.

01:42:33.360 Filipino.

01:42:33.720 God, I want to be when it happens again.

01:42:37.380 I think they have the biggest eyes for Asians.

01:42:40.920 They have the roundest eyes.

01:42:42.260 Full of love.

01:42:43.120 Yeah.

01:42:43.500 Full of love and care.

01:42:45.880 Oh.

01:42:46.500 When you're in hospice, you don't want-

01:42:48.180 We want someone with like big round eyes taking care of you, you know?

01:42:52.420 Big round eyes.

01:42:54.320 You ever heard that song?

01:42:55.100 No.

01:42:55.340 Oh, I know that song.

01:42:57.740 Big round eyes.

01:43:00.700 Oh, yeah.

01:43:01.180 It's about Filipino love.

01:43:03.060 It's about Pinoy heartbreak.

01:43:04.760 I think in hospice care, you don't want a squinty-eyed person taking care of you.

01:43:07.680 They look like they're up to something.

01:43:08.860 Oh, yeah.

01:43:09.380 They're secret, huh?

01:43:10.080 Yeah.

01:43:10.800 James.

01:43:11.400 That could be one.

01:43:12.080 Edward.

01:43:13.080 Edward.

01:43:13.640 Yeah.

01:43:14.020 Yeah.

01:43:14.400 Very Filipino.

01:43:16.240 Yeah.

01:43:16.600 Benjamin.

01:43:17.560 Benjamin.

01:43:18.440 Yeah.

01:43:18.740 Benjamin.

01:43:19.540 A lot of good Filipinos.

01:43:20.960 God.

01:43:21.820 Mario's good.

01:43:23.160 Oh, like Italian Filipino.

01:43:24.780 Yeah.

01:43:25.080 Like, oh, Pinoy pasta.

01:43:28.800 It's a ravioli.

01:43:32.520 Yeah.

01:43:32.920 I would love to be Filipino next time, man.

01:43:34.780 Yeah.

01:43:34.980 Let's reincarnate, man.

01:43:36.680 Dude, we can come back, huh?

01:43:38.080 Yeah.

01:43:38.320 I better come back rich, dude.

01:43:39.940 I want to come back to a kid with rich parents.

01:43:42.640 Oh, you want to be a kid with rich parents?

01:43:44.140 Oh, it would be fun.

01:43:44.540 Yeah.

01:43:44.560 It doesn't matter what race.

01:43:45.600 It doesn't matter what race.

01:43:47.060 Just kid with rich parents.

01:43:48.420 But would you attack them?

01:43:49.640 Would you like Menendez-em or whatever?

01:43:51.460 Men- what?

01:43:52.220 Like Menendez brothers?

01:43:53.380 Or is the guys that I think they attack their parents or something because they brought

01:43:56.060 them cold food or whatever?

01:43:57.420 I haven't looked at it.

01:43:58.180 I probably would just to get their inheritance, you know?

01:44:00.600 Oh, yeah.

01:44:00.960 And I'll make sure they write their will down first.

01:44:03.040 Yeah.

01:44:03.660 Just double check the will.

01:44:04.820 All right.

01:44:05.220 Stab, stab, stab.

01:44:08.380 Okay.

01:44:08.800 It sounds dangerous.

01:44:09.680 It sounds dangerous for us.

01:44:13.100 Nigel, thank you so much for coming in.

01:44:15.140 Of course, man.

01:44:19.380 And make a video or something.

01:44:21.620 I'd love to swap a, we got to swap a number or something.

01:44:24.220 And this has been one of my favorite interviews, man.

01:44:26.120 Thank you so much.

01:44:26.860 Like sometimes I go into like a day or something.

01:44:28.720 I'm sure this happens to everybody.

01:44:30.600 But it's like, how's this day going to be?

01:44:32.240 And you're like kind of tired.

01:44:33.360 You're just been along, whatever.

01:44:35.020 And then it's awesome, you know?

01:44:37.080 Thank you.

01:44:37.600 Likewise.

01:44:38.100 Likewise.

01:44:38.300 So I think that's the power of like people getting together, right?

01:44:41.160 Because sometimes you need somebody else to make your day better, you know?

01:44:43.860 And so I just want to say thank you so much for your time.

01:44:47.780 And yeah, I hope you do get that extra restaurant opened up, dude.

01:44:50.420 I think it would be exciting for people to go see and for more people to learn about foods

01:44:55.460 from different parts of the world.

01:45:11.360 Yeah.

01:45:12.000 Oh, and best of luck with the marriage, dude.

01:45:13.460 Let's say one nice thing.

01:45:14.460 Say one or two or three or two or three nice things about your wife so that one day she

01:45:17.960 can look back and she'll have this.

01:45:20.140 What's something?

01:45:20.460 She'll look back to the Theovan podcast.

01:45:22.500 That's true.

01:45:22.820 That's a horrible thought to say, huh?

01:45:24.140 Is that egotistical to say that?

01:45:25.940 No, no.

01:45:26.500 It's okay.

01:45:26.980 I think she'll be happy.

01:45:28.780 That's all I'm saying.

01:45:29.620 Good to God.

01:45:30.120 She'll love it.

01:45:31.380 Yeah.

01:45:31.840 What's something nice about her that you really admire?

01:45:34.800 I think she's the love of my life and she makes every day better.

01:45:38.320 Whoa, dude.

01:45:39.160 That's gay, bro.

01:45:40.380 Play the song again, dude.

01:45:41.980 That's the gayest shit I've ever heard, bro.

01:45:45.320 God, dude.

01:45:46.220 Oh, God.

01:45:46.860 I regret saying that now.

01:45:48.020 I regret saying that.

01:45:56.860 I'm joking, dude.

01:45:57.960 Shut it down.

01:45:59.560 No.

01:46:00.420 Okay.

01:46:00.740 You think she's the love of your life?

01:46:03.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:46:04.560 Yeah.

01:46:04.920 That's cool.

01:46:05.560 That's why people get married, right?

01:46:07.080 Yeah.

01:46:07.660 Yeah.

01:46:07.920 That's a good point, huh?

01:46:09.040 If you haven't found the love of your life, then what are you just part-timing it with somebody

01:46:11.880 on your heart?

01:46:12.460 Yeah, situationship.

01:46:13.560 Just the fuck buddy of your life.

01:46:15.240 Yeah.

01:46:15.440 You know?

01:46:17.300 That's a long haul, man.

01:46:18.900 Yeah.

01:46:19.020 Well, congratulations.

01:46:19.760 Two months to your marriage?

01:46:21.000 Yep.

01:46:21.480 Oh, it's exciting, dude.

01:46:22.580 Very few relatives are coming.

01:46:24.080 It's too far.

01:46:24.960 Not allowed.

01:46:25.640 Too far for these old Asians.

01:46:27.500 Shut them down.

01:46:28.380 Yeah.

01:46:29.460 Shut them down, dude.

01:46:30.540 Yeah, deport them.

01:46:31.540 Deport them from Europe.

01:46:32.340 Pull the semiconductors right out of their backs, dude.

01:46:34.940 We do not need them hitting the air.

01:46:37.000 Go back to the factory.

01:46:39.760 To that factory in the sky, dude.

01:46:42.480 Thank you so much.

01:46:43.220 Have a good day, brother.

01:46:44.280 You too.

01:46:44.620 You too.

01:46:44.660 Niggas can be gay, too.

01:46:48.000 Whether you like it or you love it.

01:46:50.720 Whether you're kissing or you're touching.

01:46:53.300 The mind or lust, I know you covet.

01:46:55.320 Niggas can be gay, too.

01:46:58.480 There ain't nothing you need to hide.

01:47:01.180 Dio games won't really survive.

01:47:03.620 Tomorrow you might not be alive.

01:47:05.700 Niggas can be gay, too.

01:47:08.180 Niggas can be gay, too.
