Dean Cain on His Journey From Trailer Park to Princeton to Hollywood
"So dean, your life has been so fascinating. So I wanted to ask you a little bit about just kind of your journey before we talk about more of the news stuff. I saw that you spent some of your childhood in Michigan and then in California. And in high school, when you were in Santa Monica, you were excelling in sports, and you even played some baseball with Charlie Sheen and Rob Lowe. Is that correct? And what was that like? It's mostly correct. I grew up, so I grew up in I was born in Michigan, but I moved to California when I was three. My mom up and took off with her two kids. Her first husband was my biological father. It was not an ideal husband, was philandering and so she left and came out to LA to be an actress with two kids to the Asian kids. And we looked more on my given name as Tanaka. So she came out here with us too, and met and fell in love with my dad. Who she married a year later. And then through a really terrible story actually, a woman was raped and I believe killed in an apartment next to us or right near us. And then the next day myself and a couple other guys, my brother and another couple kids were out playing cops and robbers as they used to back in the day. And I was the youngest and so I wasn't able to have I didn't get to a gun. So I went looking for something and I found the real gun and it was apparently the weapon that was used and that day my dad borrowed, I don't ten, $12,000 from his parents in South Dakota and moved us to a trailer park in Malibu. And I grew up in a trailer park in Malibu, which sounds, you know, like trailer park. Yeah, but it was in Malibu. So we'd spend our days outside all day long on the beach, running around, and I grew up with kids like Sean Penn, Chris Penn Rob Lowe, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, all those kids were just, we were all just part of this one little Malibu group. I guess all our parents were involved in the business, not all of them, but in some way or another. And so through this weird happenstance, those kids all ended up being actors. Now I played baseball Charlie for a long time. Rob, rob was never the great athlete. Rob even back in the elementary school was just all the girls loved him and he's so pretty. And he loved the girls back. So that was the that was the skinny and rob, so to speak. Charlie very good baseball player. Played on teams with him forever. And then went to high school, Santa Monica high school. And I was a good athlete student. It worked out real well for me. A lot of the kids are madly when they got to Santa Monica worked able to compete at that level, unfortunately. So a lot of the kids stopped playing sports, Charlie continued to play for a while. I don't even know what he did to seeing it if he played a scene here or not. And then I was lucky enough to with my grades and thank you to get the president of the university, had a wonderful career at Princeton. Grew up a lot turned into him and went from a boy to a man there and played very well. I played football. I mean, football ran track and I played volleyball. And then I got a chance to play for the Buffalo Bills afterward, which was great. And got hurt right away. And then it's been acting and directing and filmmaking ever since.

Trish Regan: The Connection Between Canceling Tests Scores & CRT
"I mean, you think about Columbia University. My Alma mater, by the way, saying, okay, you don't need the SAT anymore. Well, part of that is because it's rooted in this CRT, which came out of a lot of academia, specifically law schools, critical race theory, which suggests that you're never going to get a fair shot in this country. If you happen to be born black. And so we need to somehow correct this. And the idea is, well, if we have more people that we allow into these quote unquote Ivy League schools, they'll get that stamp of approval, which will enable them to be on a certain course in life. And the only way may be because unfortunately, and this gets back to some root issues to quote Kamala Harris, rue issues, we got education systems in so many poor minority communities that are beyond messed up Chicago, Compton, out in California and New York City. I did a story years ago about how kids were getting passed from grade to grade all the way to 12th grade. They couldn't read Mike. I mean, this is a problem. And so the answer is somehow, okay, well we're going to just get rid of SATs because we can bring all these people in and I think they're afraid of lawsuits because what about the poor kid who, you know, whose parents immigrated here from India or the Philippines and has been studying his tail off for years and years and years and gets a perfect score on the SAT and straight a's, but that child because he's from Asian descent may not be able to get in. They're preparing for this. There is an agenda. They think they can fix it this way with handouts with college degrees. And the truth is you can't because it goes back to something pretty simple. We need to do a better job organizing at the local level to ensure everybody's got some kind of access to opportunity. We don't do that. When you see Lori Lightfoot out in Chicago, thank goodness Chicago voted her out,

Chris Kohls Talks Kurt Russell's Role in 'Big Trouble in Little China'
"There was nothing. That that's how it always begins. There is more. Fun way to start a movie that's egg Shen explaining after the event who Jack burden is and how much of a hero he is. Why? Because the producer said, he's such a dance. You've got to explain it. Let's put something in after they filmed the movie. They had to be far, Kurt Russell at the beginning of that little clip. Chris, an unusual character. And in the director's voice-over, if you watch it, they keep talking about the fact that other actors are like her also refused to take this part because they didn't want to look stupid and they just have this ego trip too many egos. I guess that doesn't surprise you having worked in Hollywood. No, yeah. People don't want to look bad. People don't want to look stupid. People don't want to look silly. But every once in a while, you just have to go with it and have a little bit of fun. And yeah, Kurt Russell's great. I mean, what a down to earth guy. He doesn't mind being a little self deprecating. The funny thing about this character is it really is over the top, like massively over the top. Everything he does is in that sort of John Wayne kind of attitude, right? There's a slow draw everything. He thinks that he's the hero of this story. But he's not the hero this story is buddy. Yeah, the little Asian guys, the hero. The little Asian guy. Who can kick anybody's butt? He's really the hero. He's got to save the girl. He's got to do all this stuff. Jack Burton shoots some concrete above his head and knocks himself out at one point in the movie.

How Vulnerable Is China? David Goldman Explains
"The fascinating presentation recently on the the fact that 70% of the energy that China needs comes through one naval passage. So if there were some kind of military action in Taiwan, the straits could be blocked by the U.S. and which would put a kind of stranglehold on the huge amounts of fossil fuel this nation needs every single day. So how vulnerable? How vulnerable is China? Well, in terms of BTUs, China produces 85% of its own energy. That compares to virtually zero for Korea Taiwan and Japan. So if there were a cutoff of energy, the whole Asian economy would shut down, Japan, Taiwan, which effectively ceased to exist in a matter of a few weeks. China would limp through. Now, one reason that China is working with Russia to build as much over land oil and gas capacity as it can is to get around the possibility of American interdiction, which is a weakness. China's economy would, in some sense, survive, simply because they have so much coal and nuclear and other power hydro to power electricity that they could limp by, but of course the interdiction of oil would be a terrible blow to their economy without any doubt.

Biden says Labor nominee Julie Su represents American dream
"President Biden has tapped a nominee to lead the Labor Department. Julie is the American Dream. The president says Julie Sue is committed to making sure that dream is going to reach for every American. She's the daughter of Chinese immigrants and says a union job gave them a path to the middle class and her a path to the Ivy League. So to all workers who are toiling in the shadows, to workers who are organizing for power and respect in the workplace, know that we see you, we stand with you, and we will fight for you. Some Republicans, though, call Sue anti worker, while Democrats strongly back sued to replace Marty Walsh, the president had been under pressure to name his first Asian American cabinet secretary.

Jonathan Gilliam: From the SEALs to the Air Marshals to the FBI
"Is the last station we want to talk about. So what did it mean when somebody said to you the test to join the bureaus written by liberals? How did that affect your answers? Well, he said it was written by liberal academics to remember that. It's not written by seals or cops. Right. Right. So my questions are my answers had to be formulated in the way that they would think about what's the proper way of doing this arrest or at what point do you cut off a surveillance and so what I did was I did not think all the way because as a seal, we would go all the way. I mean, if we had a target, we were going to go all the way to get mission success. Right. And that is just not the way the left thinks. They do not think, I think the Biden administration, all these different groups that you see, especially in education, they think differently than we do when they think about mission success. So I just kept that in the back of my mind if there was something that looked like it could be questionable where the answer could be a little bit more leftist than what I am. I would answer it that way and I passed it. So tell us, where did you work? Was it CTD? Was it kind of terrorism? Was it creme? What did you do? I went into Asian organized crime for four years and which is the busiest squad in the New York office. We had did arrest and street work constantly. I was there, I went to another squad that I'm not going to go into that one. And then I did surveillance for a year and then I went over to counter terrorism where I ran the special events for all of New York. So

God is a lesbian. God is trans. God is gender non binary. God is straight. God is cisgender. God is black, God is white. God is Middle Eastern. God is Asian, God is differently abled, mentally and physically God is able bodied. God is you. And you are God, because you are a reflection of God's divine image. I can smell that fire coming up approaching him very soon. With the gasoline draws, I can smell the fumes right now. What are you even saying? I don't know why people gotta get so sold. I wanna say spiritual 'cause this has nothing to do with anything spiritual. I don't know why you gotta get so snazzy. You don't have to make up cool analogies and stuff. None of that is in the Bible. God is you and you are God. You ain't God. If you were a guy you wouldn't be out here cutting up, you ain't God. And God ain't gay and God ain't black. I get I kinda get what he's trying to say with black and white and meaning that God understands you, but that's not what he said. He said God is none binary. God is trans. No, he's not. But you know what he didn't say? And it's the same thing that happened with that pastor with the analogy of the kid saying, can I still smoke marijuana and go to and be a Christian? Of course, he used the analogy of marijuana because that's somewhat insignificant. He didn't say, can I be a pedophile and be a Christian diddy? No, he didn't.

Seattle becomes first US city to ban caste-based discrimination - The Guardian US
"Seattle has become the first U.S. city to ban cast discrimination. The Seattle city council has added cast to the city's anti discrimination laws, becoming the first U.S. city to specifically ban cast discrimination, caused to outlaw discrimination based on cast a division of people based on birth or descent have grown louder among South Asian communities in the United States, supporters argue it is needed because cast is not covered under existing civil rights protections. Groups opposing the measure say it will malign a community that is already the target of prejudice.

Culver City High School Cancels Honors Classes for 'Racial Equity'
"This one is in Culver City, California, parents there are pushing back because the school district has eliminated. They've gotten rid of the honors classes. Now, when you were back in school, and I suspect this is most of our audience, you aspired many of us aspired to be in the smart kid classes. Right? So you wanted to, you wanted to work hard, you wanted to get your homework, you were studying for your test, so you could get into an honors class, which would give you a leg up if you were going to college. And it was something you aspired you aspired to be better. Well, that's not going to happen anymore because the educators and Culver City California. They have eliminated all the honors classes and instead they've made all the classes all the coursework is now uniform. In other words, the smart kids are being punished in the name of diversity. Now the school district says that they decided to do away with do away with honors classes to make sure students of all races receive an equal education. Which inherently is racist on the part of the school board for them to think that some races will not do as well as others and these honors classes. But the stupid media, they didn't see that. Anyway, this is going on all over the country. Wisconsin, Rhode Island, other places in California, but here's what I find fascinating about this story. The teachers say there are far too many Asians students in the honors classes. So now they're coming after the Asian kids.

Debbie and Dinesh Discuss the Latest Shooting at MSU
"There was a recent shooting mass shooting at Michigan state university. Initially, I thought this might be done by a student that might be something some incident involving a student, but it turns out no, the shooter wise what? 43 year old black man. 43 year old black man and I want to highlight that for a minute because this mass shooting has had a more muted response than other mass shootings. Why? I think it's because the perpetrator is black. Now usually though for the media and for the left, the approach is sort of like this. If there's a mass shooting and a white guy did it, white supremacy is to blame. But if there's a mass shooting and a black guy or Hispanic guy on Asian guy did it, then let's not even talk about white supremacy because we really can't. Let's focus on the gun. The gun is to blame. So that's really what happened in the Michigan state. They would have loved to go with white supremacy, but since it was a black guy, it's like, okay, we gotta go to option B and that is guns. So every time there's a mass shooting, it's about the gun. And of course, the demand is for these kinds of guns, not all guns necessarily, but certainly these sort of dangerous guns, the AR-15 need to be outlawed.

Interactive Brokers Launches Crypto Trading in Hong Kong
"Zach. You got our first story. What's up? Yeah, I do. Let's go to Hong Kong. We're going to talk about interactive brokers setting up a institutional offering over in Hong Kong. This is rolling out Bitcoin and eth trading to professional investors over in Hong Kong. And I think it really speaks to the shifting geographical landscape, especially in Asia where the mood around crypto is a little bit less dour than it is over here in North America. Obviously with these recent SEC actions, the mood in American crypto is a bit dark. That said, over in Hong Kong, we're seeing an institutional product roll out in addition to some other interesting developments relating to retail. So a couple of things to talk about, I think Hong Kong obviously has been maybe making a play for some of its former glory as a kind of one of the original Asian crypto capitals. Boss a little bit of that shine to Singapore. But even beyond that, you know, Korea, Japan, there's still a lot of excitement in those markets all over in the west, things are a bit bleak. So again, let's go to Hong Kong, talk about the situation there. Definitely a very important part of the crypto ecosystem. And it has been for quite a while. A lot of trading firms set up there. A lot of different legal entities running out of Hong Kong. Hasn't really been in the spotlight the last few years that a lot of eyes have been on the United States or Western Europe. That's where a lot of developers have been. That's where a lot of the action has been. Obviously, we are living in a new regulatory regime with crypto as well as Zach was just mentioning the SEC stuff. So I think people are going to start looking internationally and I think Hong Kong is a strong contender for where people might look towards because it has strong government that has clear rule of law and there's a lot of capital there,

Why You Can't Stand in the Way of What God Is Doing
"Like, I mean, we get hammered by not all, 'cause the kid that I ran into this morning was a black kid. But we get hammered by a lot of black people. They hate us. And it's really because I ain't looking at nobody's color. I'm just going off of my experiences and I'm just telling the truth. So if you white and you hear me tell them the truth, they ain't got nothing to do with me. If you black you hear me, Hispanic give you Asian if you gay, you straight, you hear me telling the truth. It has nothing to do with me. My deal is to tell the truth no matter where I'm at. And I feel like that there are certain things that are in the atmosphere that I have knowledge of, that's not getting portrayed. And then you got white people running around guilty and they being guilty for no reason. You feel bad for black people. You should not feel bad for black people in this country. You can feel if you want to feel bad for people making poor decisions, then that's on you. But just because I'm black, don't mean I have, I'll have things harder in life. And yeah, maybe you go in environments where there's nothing but white people and maybe you have to work extra hard to get things done. Maybe who cares? Quit being a whipping a soft. Adversity is what make you strong. The lord Jesus Christ had to go through a verse and got beaten killed and you crying about something a little bit of adversity. You know, if a white person were to try to detract me from accomplishing things, hey, the joke's on you, brother. 'cause God, I serve a God that's able to take me beyond what man can do. And to be honest, I feel bad for you 'cause if you're standing in the way of what God is doing, I gotta move you.

"asian" Discussed on Asian, Not Asian
"And auto podcast now. Don't you ever forget. My God. Yeah. I don't know. It's always like, there's also like, I don't know where they explain this, but there's a power difference between what it's done the other way. So obviously, if we see a fucking dirty white guy saying stuff like that about an Asian woman, it is kind of gross. Like you know there's a gender power. But so for some reason, women do it to men. It's like, I don't know what to me. It's like, it doesn't feel that bad. I know it's equally as bad, but my first reaction is to laugh because there's just something so funny about her, like even though her she's like, I was like really into Japanese samurai culture. And then she met a Chinese man. They're not even you know, there's like everything is so comical about it that it's hard for me to get mad. Yeah, bewilderment is a little bit more emotion I would say. I'm not really upset. I think you're right. I think it is a little different if it's like, 'cause I think, you know, I think you said, right? Usually this is like a dude, a white dude like getting a mail order bride, and there's already gonna be like a power differential there. So that's like there's like so many different power differentials there. So this is clearly kind of like a flip of that in some way, so it's not quite the same thing. And now you're just left with it being confusing. So I don't know. I don't know if any of our listeners check this out. So that means that this Chinese dude, his name's Johnny. He has to Johnny. Johnny quote unquote. He's going to come here and he has 9 days to figure out if he wants to with her. Yeah, I think it's called 90 day because tourist visas or 90. Oh, I see. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, in the country for doing this you know what? As a wellness podcast, all right? I can just say the best of luck to both of them. Love is so hard to have. And a 100%. It's so fun. As long as the follow up is there, you know, your testing each other's back, you know? You're there for each other. I support it. I support it, even if it has a racist foundation. Because love is so it's so hard to find love in your 30s, Ellen, I get it, I get it. Part of the article said they met on a social media group that was catered for Asian men and white women. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. I know that's like a thing now. I remember when I was in high school, I was doing some research and I came across this dating website called hey I dot com. Have you heard of it before? Hey, I do. Somebody told me about it. Like some Vietnamese kids tell me about it at school. I think I was in high school when I found out. It's I don't even think it exists anymore. And it never picked up mainstream. But it's a dating forum. This is when forums were a thing. It's a dating blog forum for Asian men and non Asian women. So you go on that and you make a profile and I remember I made a profile and I started getting messages immediately. Wow. Immediately. And it was like kind of the first time I felt and I think there's a lot of like anime and like fantasizing happening on the website. For sure. But it was nice to be wanted. Does that make sense? 'cause I feel like an online dating, the stereotype is that Asian guys we don't get any matches. Or like we used to nap for like a long time. And that like does something to your head, but there's definitely something you log on and you just start getting messages automatically. Wow. Yeah. Did you message these people back? I chatted with them, but I was like, I didn't even live in the same state as a lot of people. It's like a global thing. Sometimes they don't even live in the same state or the country. Yeah, but I remember I wonder if I never listeners because I know we have some freaky treat Asian guy listeners who probably into the shit, if you participate on this website, please let us know what your experience was like. I was too young to really understand what was going on. But it did exist. And I remember the logo, you can probably go on. Let me Google this right now. The logo was like an anime character when the Asian guy dating another oh my God. It's still there. Oh, this looks so hold on hold on hold on, a message to get to you right now. Okay. This is like before Facebook and shit. Hold on here. Okay, I just Facebook message to you. Oh, I see on Facebook, hold on. This is kind of problematic. Now that I'm looking at the website.

"Moving on to everybody's favorite segment. It is. That's racist. No. We haven't had this in a while. Speaking of Agos, no, that's mean. I don't mean that. This came up on our feed recently. Fiance, a little bit of hot water headline reads Ella, who's like a new person on the show, reveals how she met her jackpot Johnny from China. So before the 90 days star LS build how her Asian culture obsession led to her finding a real life boyfriend from China, Johnny. I had a whole resident Ella is 29 years old and calls herself a country girl. The trailer for her 90 day fiance segments has shown Ella wielding a long sword and talking about hitting the proverbial jackpot when she met Johnny. He's a suggest she has an Asian fetish. So if you haven't seen the video, definitely Googled it. It's very funny. It's basically this woman named Ella. And she's very, very open about her Asian fetish, and it kind of introduces her and her boyfriend who is still in China. I don't watch them if fiance, but I believe the premise is like trying to get like a foreign spouse to come over to America. I was confused about, yeah, okay, so I guess that's the premise because there's so many fiance once I thought this was going to be, what's that other show where you can't see the person and then they become oh. Yeah, that's the Netflix one. I guess. This is completely different. Now I'm Maria watch this one. This is like, remember, the short guy named Ed, big Ed. Oh, yes. It's like basically the original pronounced was like white guys buying or bride types. Melo brides from Philippines. That's really what this was. And now there's different variations of that. But it's a lot of Russian people, Southeast Asian people, Chinese people who are trying to come over American in person. But yeah, there are some articles written about this because I think just her open she is to the Asian fetish thing. I think became like a point of contention for a lot of people. You watch the trailer, you don't watch the show, obviously, I don't want it either, but what was your first impression on the trail? Well first of all, I wasn't bothered by this because the entire premise for the show is problematic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's like you got this little thing on top. Yeah, sure, I guess that's a problem. The whole thing is a problem. Yeah, you really killed a busload of children. And now you're like, oh no, you also stole the bus. I'm like, who cares? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a cartel boss being like vegan or something. I don't care. Nobody cares. You know, your drug trafficker. Yeah, but it's also, you know, sometimes sometimes it feels good and Jesus. It's the last day of 2021. It's going to be 2022. And sometimes it just feels good to get hit in the face with just some gold old fashioned like 2015 esque Asian topic, you know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love Asian stuff and it's like using a samurai sword, but it's refreshing. Yeah, it's just like, all right, all right, you know, hey, you throw back. I haven't. But I feel there's like a new perspective to it because we've lived. I think maybe in 2015, the initial reaction is rage, or we've been respected, but now it's kind of funny. I don't know. I'll also like, I feel I don't know. It's funny 'cause in the trailer they're like, she has an Asian fetish and it shows like a bunch of anime things. And then goes, he says, he has a western fetish. And he's standing in front of a bunch of guns. Yeah. I'm not even sure he has a thing for white women. I think he's just likes cowboys or something like guns. I'm not sure that it's one to one, which is very, very funny. You know what? Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Real quick. Whenever people are to quote unquote Asian culture, yeah. They just seem to be into the pop culture part. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's like music or movies or music, movies, anime. You know, I guess maybe now there's people who are real into Korean stuff, but I'm like, yeah, I mean, you know, if you're real into quote unquote Asian culture, why aren't you spending why aren't you having a second family? Yes, instead of your wife. You know, what about hanging out all night at the casino? That's Asian as fuck, okay? Yeah, it would be the Asian culture, you know? Like, get a divorce. Yeah. That's the thing. I'm a little more marriage. When people are like, no, that was a lot of people who were like Korea, phonetics, or what's the career philia? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was like Japan Philip for a long time. But for sure, I mean, you know, we know this from having been friends like Brian and young being a lot of Korean American comedy Friends. Like a lot of fucking family problems that are not, you know, that these white people are not adopting, you know? They're just adopting the haircuts on the food. But they're not adopting mentally manipulating your children for 20 years. Yeah, debilitating them. That's my career. If you're real into Asian culture, go to kumon, okay? Go come on and be a pre med. All right, then you're adhesion person, you know? If this person was like, you know what, I have an Asian fetish, and it was a Montage of her, like going to kumon and becoming a doctor and having problems with their parents, I'd be like, you know what? You're allowed to say that. You know, like your honorary Asian. You're allowed to say that. Yeah. You know, oh, oh, I bought a samurai sword off of Amazon and I watched all of the gundams. Okay. Just like just like how the old samurais did it in the Edo period. Oh, this is an ancient sword from Jeff Bezos. The death gave Bezos died. Her Bezos is the shogun for the shogun. Oh. Are you pledging my honor to you, Jeff Bezos? Yeah. Oh my God. You know, come on. Come on, buddy. Like, okay, that's all I'm saying, all right? It's 2022. Now there's even more resources. Listen, if you've got an Asian fetish, but you donate to our Patreon. Okay, there you go. Now you're good. Now you're into giving culture. We are agent culture, where Asian wellness culture.

I mean, dude, people are all the density kids are talking about collabing and content these days. But nobody's really doing sesame content. Everybody's like all branded content sponsored content. No, no, no. Such a dude is like sesame content. No, you gotta have sesame content, okay? All right, okay, sesame follows a 5 decade old 5 decade old recipe, created by the founder of sesame grandmother. So you know this is a real shit, homie. That's some real shit. That's some real shit. All you gotta do to get these delicious noodles is to visit WWE session new dot com that's SES NOD dot com. The listeners of the Asian dot Asian podcast may apply the exclusive code Asian agent for checkout, which will offer them 10% off on top of whichever promotion session is currently running. So I think I'm gonna go check this out man. I'm gonna go check it out, dude. Right now, dude, okay, it's WW SE SA NOD dot com. When you use the bathroom, you always close the door behind you, right? Mike, right? You don't want random passers by looking in on you. So why was you let people look in on you when you go online? Using the Internet without ExpressVPN, bro is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door. That's crazy. Yo. My old roommate used to do that. Oh my gosh, you should just keep the door open. And you know what? And you know what? Also not on ExpressVPN user. No, yo, that's terrible, man. Because did you know that your Internet service provider knows every single website you've ever visited? That is nasty. And what's worse is they can sell this information to ad companies and tech giants who will use your data to target you. I feel we could really go in a different direction here and have a different conversation about how that's a huge problem. But it is what it is. And that's why ExpressVPN is here. Especially if you put a stop to this because people are doing illegal shed expects to be able to stop to this. It creates secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the Internet so that your online activity can not be seen by anyone. Yo, I use ExpressVPN on all my devices. It works on everything. Phones, laptops, even routers, so everyone who shares your Wi-Fi can still be protected, even if they don't have ExpressVPN. It's just a good way to stay secure. If you're like me, a little anals out there, you guys are wild like me. We're all just wilding out on the Internet while we're going to website that. I don't want people to look at my Google searches. Also, not even really related to this security thing, but you can also make your computer think you're in a different country. So sometimes when you're traveling and you want to watch the HBO Max show, like I remember back when Game of Thrones was on, I was in Japan, but I was able to watch it because I would make my computer think it was still in America. So there's all kinds of perks like that. That's crazy, man. And the best part is using ExpressVPN is as easy as closing the bathroom door..

"Realized I realized that in Hollywood, first of all, in Hollywood, whatever looking dudes, and I'm not miss no shade on Jimmy. Okay, we will love you on the pod sometime, Jimmy. You know? But a mediocre looking guy will get with a really hot girl. I mean, this happens all the time in Hollywood. Seth Rogen is you know every movie he's been in. Every movie, he's with hot girl. Super hot, you know? So yeah. I think it's a little bit more like their vibes or a little different, like Jimmy's vibe is in the movie. He's kind of like granola and her vibe is kind of like LA cool girl. So like the vibes are a little weird, but I was like, you know what, I'll let it play because again, this is a fucking fucking Netflix RomCom. So you know whatever. Yeah. I also think, I'll talk about this earlier, but a lot of people say like, oh, that girl would never get with that kind of guy. Now that I've been my 30s, I disagree with you. I've been seeing a lot of couples. I think a lot of hot women are starting to date. I don't want to say Agos, but I'm gonna say how it goes for the sake of comedy, but like guys that are like, looks wise, a little embodied wise like a little bit below their league. I see what you're saying. I've been talking to a lot of comedian friends about this who are single and they're women and they're kind of dating and stuff. And especially if you're a very smart person and you work in the creative field and obviously you want to be physically turned on, but being mentally turned on is equally as important. I think a lot of those girls, a lot of hot girls like dated hot guys in their 20s and they fucked around. And I think a lot of them are maybe boring or because they're hot. They haven't really had to learn a lot of emotional skills. So my friends tell me, she's very attractive, and now she's dating guys who kind of look like schlubby a little bit, just kind of like whatever. But she was like, you know, the most important quality to me when I'm dating somebody is that they follow through. Do they call me back? Did they text me back? Like, they committed. Do they care about me? And she mentioned like 7 things. Not once did she say like tall or big dick. Like, when you get to a certain age, it's like, I'm trying to have a partnership. So I need you to care for my well-being. Wellness, you know? And I know it sounds so obvious, but it was really refreshing to hear like a hot girl say that because I think there are a lot of girls like that now like a Nina, whatever, you know, who obviously initially your reaction to Darren Barnett's abs are like, wow, he's a hottie, but hey, maybe Jimmy O Yang, he's going to text you back. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's not gonna he's not gonna leave you on red. That's what a grown her 30s needs sometimes. That's what they, yeah, that's what it is. We should be consultants, obviously, for those kind of thing. Yeah, I think they do, I think they do a good job of doing kind of like setting it up. Also Darren's character in it. He's not like a douche bag. He he's actually like, he seems like a nice guy. It's just like they don't have a good connection. He's just not into what she's into. And so it's kind of like, it makes it so it's like, oh, she has to be with Jamie because this other alternative is like this total psycho. This is a little asshole guy. So that was cool. And I think the bottom line is, hey, if you can, try to be like Jimmy O Yang, because that's more sustainable lifestyle. Than being daring up Barnett. That guy candy carbs ever. Also, we're gonna put them on blast a little bit. Okay, he was supposed to be on this podcast. He was 6 weeks ago. And he canceled last minute. Canceled on us. He came to last minute. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I just realized we are Nina in this. Oh my God, we are Nina. Oh my God. You left us on red, dude. But also Jimmy O Yang never got back to us either. So we're getting denied both. We're just alone. We're just alone. The status Christmas RomCom. Podcasters who can't get a guest. That's a great, that's a great rom com right there, okay? You know? If you swiped, you both of us are on the same Tinder profile. You have to date both of us at the same time. Hey, you know, they look good. You know, they're funny, you know? They're Asian American. They're podcasters, okay? You know? Hey, get on, get on this. Yo foo me, man, how's your noodle stuff going on, man? How's your noodle game? That was my noodle stuff going, oh, I'm so glad 'cause nobody asked me that. Nobody asked you that anymore. Nobody asked me how my noodle is going to handle game, bro. You know, I mean, I live alone now, so I have been eating a lot of cup noodles and stuff like that. A lot of the seafood ramen cups and ramen and stuff like that. But I don't know, I'm gonna get sick of it. Is there anything you would recommend? I got this new thing, man. It's called sesa nude. Sesa nude. It's a Taiwanese instant noodle brand. Okay, it's just coming into the U.S. market. It's real fresh, man. Each pack of the each pack of sesame nude comes with a generous amount of delicious sun dried noodles..

I am up for a tattoo. Let's just say that. I'd like to get one in February ish. So hey, you still got like two months left. As you know, fumi, I was a hi def Asian and one of the high deaf things. I've been watching so much content. Watch all the matrixes again. I watched all of the lower the rings and watch so much YouTube as I do. And one of the things I want to watch was that new movie, it's called love hard. It's not that new. It's like maybe like a month old now. But it's like a Christmas RomCom. It's on Netflix. It's got Jimmy O Yang. And Nina dubrov in it. And it's cool, man. I don't know. You haven't checked it out yet for me, right? I have not seen it for the people who may not know, but they've definitely seen this trailer. What's the quick synopsis? So okay, basically what happens is Nina is your archetypical RomCom gal. She's looking for love. She's on the apps. She can't meet anybody. And then she comes across a profile which has Darren Barnett who is the hot Asian dude from never have I ever. And he is very hot in it. And she strikes up a conversation with this account, and it goes on for a while, but then it turns out that actually it's not Darren Barnett. It's Jimmy O Yang's character who's doing this. So basically Jimmy oan kind of catfished her. Yeah. And now it's like they're in the small town and she confronts him about it. And what happens is Jimmy O Yang feels real bad, so he says he's going to set up Venus character with Darren Barnet's character. So now there's like a love triangle going on there. He's kind of like giving her advice on how to oh yeah, you know, I guess Darren Barnet's character's real outdoorsy so she's got to do all this outdoorsy stuff which he doesn't like doing. But it's like the whole back and forth between this whole thing with Jimmy and Damien and Darren and Nina. So it's cool man. I would say it was a good RomCom, Christmas RomCom because a good Christmas RomCom, you're in it while you're watching. As soon as it ends, it just disappears. It just goes away. You know? And you just don't even think about it. So that was perfect. Yeah. I've lost some real weird ones, and yeah, it was a solid one. It was well done. Well, you know what? So do you know what the general reception has been? Because I know every time there's Asian people people are like, this is not what Asian Americans are about. I will say a nerdy like Asian looking guy like Jimmy O Yang, using a picture of a white man to get a white woman, kind of on brand, you know what I'm saying? Like I feel aging people. I feel like toxic Asian guys have done that in the past. I don't know. That's the kind of vibe I'm getting. Yeah, you know, I mean, so I think one of the good things is almost that there hasn't been anything too crazy about it, like anything in the news because again, when we started this podcast, now we're seniors. When we were freshmen, if this movie had come out, we would be fucking, this would be like the biggest fucking news ever, right? Yeah. You couldn't even get this to go, because Jimmy O Yang wasn't anybody at the time. I mean, I think he had been doing Silicon Valley. Nobody knew who Darren Barnett is. The whole language literally of this movie wasn't in place yet to have this. If you went up to Nina dubrov and was like, hey, we're gonna have Jimmy O Yang and Darren Barnett will be like, what the hell are you talking about? And she wouldn't be on board with this. But now, now obviously you have all these actors Darren Barnett is he plays an Asian guy? I think he plays like a mixed race in person. And so there is a funny scene against going back to the language thing. There's a scene and Jenny arma motto the last guest we had on here had this really funny thing on TikTok about how one of the when they're looking through the Tinder profile or whatever of Darren Barnett's character, one of the things they say is like, oh, look, he's real hot and he's real fit and he's Asian American. He says they say that out loud. And as a good thing, right? And that's supposed to be a good thing. And it feels very weird because I don't think you and I would ever say I don't think Asian people would ever say that to each other. They're like, hey, he's also Asian American. You would never say that. Yeah, he's really hot and he's got like good abs blah blah blah. And oh, cool. He's Chinese. Great, you know? That's like a. I feel like the only way it's acceptable to mention the race like that is if they don't like that he's Asian American and they mention it first. So if they're going through the profile and he goes, yeah. He's black. That understands. I understand. It's not good, but he's Asian? Exactly, but all he's 5 9. He's a Harvard grad, and he's Puerto Rican, like that's weird. That's a weird thing to say. I do wish I do wish I could I do wish that the Tinder had a feature where we just eavesdrop on your first reaction. Yeah, you know? Yes. You know, like if you could read your face and also like here, if you said, that's what I want to see. Yeah. I want to see that. I want to see Tinder four and it's like, if you go, oh my God, he's Chinese, ew. And scans it keeps that in the database, you know, and then blackmails you later. Because I'm sure there's a lot of white girls who go like, um, well, there's nothing wrong with things. This is totally fine. I know. This is totally fine. Read the face. That's what I want to see. You know what I'm saying? But like the algorithm is still like, nope, still racist. Racist? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, I was like, yeah, I was yeah, so it is interesting. I wonder sometimes how white people do react to that? Because again, I think if you're an Asian person and you're like swiping, obviously your channel like you're doing your thing and I would say that Asian people, if we're looking for an Asian partner, we are looking for someone who is like one kind of Asian you are. That may play a factor, you know? Not to say it would be the only thing, but it's like, oh, he's also, you know, he's also Vietnamese. Cool. You know, now we have something in common. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Rather than like, he's Asian American generally. You know, I don't know, I don't know if I had generally. I know some people are in there that means nothing. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, but you know, I don't know how white people do it, but yeah. Were you also saying people were complaining or upset that someone like Jimmy O Yang would never be able to? Because at the end, this is not a spoiler because it's a fucking RomCom, but I'm guessing at the end, Jimmy O Yang ends up with the hot girl, right? Yeah, so this was spoiler, but yeah, they get the RomCom. He's the rom coms, so it's not really. And it was kind of weird to at first I was like, there's no way Nina would get with Jimmy. And I was like, I looked up pictures of them and I put them side by side and I was like, I'm trying to imagine this couple together..

Yo, Mike, I know you were growing your hair recently and after he had grown, you were a little bit concerned about the way it was growing and perhaps how much hair you've lost over the years. Word word homie, you know what I'm saying? Like, I was growing out my hair for a little bit and it was okay. It was okay. It didn't look too bad, but I was, I was like, hey man, you know what? There's some spots where I wish I had a little bit more. A little bit more coverage, you know what I'm saying? So what I started using, I started using neutral. Did you know that there are 5 root causes for thinning hair, neutrophil is the hair supplement that goes beyond genetics at target stress, hormones, nutrition, metabolism, and environmental factors that may be impacting your hair. Environmental factors. That's crazy. I live in LA. This is the dirtiest city in the world. This is why I'm fitting. This is why I'm 30. It really is, okay? And you know what I like about neutral too is that it does a lot of different things. It's got it improves hair growth, thickness, visible scalp coverage. It's got 21 potent natural ingredients that supports sex drive. You know? Better sleep and less stress. So, you know, it's kind of got a little bit of the whole package. That's crazy because when I was taking that kind of the hair supplements back in the day, check out our previous episodes. There were a lot of stuff that said, it is going to decrease your sex drive. So it's crazy that this actually has it's not just neutral. It drives your sex drive. You get cornier. And your hair gets thicker. In a clinical study, men showed progressive improvement in their hair growth and thickness after just three to 6 months. And.

We have good jobs, and we're just like, so okay, so are you doing if you're feeling better? Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better with these with these pills that I'm on. So little pain, but I'm doing a lot better. It's also a mental thing because now he rolled out the hernia and cancer. I'm like, just mentally feeling better. But this is a great segue into our theme for 2022. Mike, isn't it? Because yes, when we first started the podcast, we were like, we're a comedy podcast. And that's about the years. A couple of things happened. We have aged. It's been like 40 years. Four years has marched, which is like high school. We're like seniors. Yeah. We're like seniors. We're seeing your podcast as well. So there's that. We have a so we're different. When I started, I was 28. I was different things are going on in my life, you know? Yeah. And you know, I think we have a podcast, you gotta have a good angle. And we found that nobody gives a fuck about comedy. And so and recently we've been talking a lot about health. And I think that we're just going to become a health and wellness podcast. I like that what I'm thinking for 2020. I like that. Because also remember when we had Sierra on the other day we were trying to talk about sex and stuff and we couldn't do it. Oh my God. I think that's the other day. I was thinking about that the other day. But I love that. Yeah, me too. I was like, you know what, let's not talk about our body counts or any like, oh, what were we fucking in high school? No, I think we never talk about storytelling about the band or something. What did we talk about? Like that. Like that's how we got in trouble. Yeah. We talked about detention. So yeah, I like that. I mean, hey man, wellness is a real big. I think there's a lot. This is big. A lot of products that are specific to our demographic. For example, you know, a special kind of ultrasound ball gel. That they can use. Oh, yeah. Right? Like, you know, maybe it doubles as also a fleshlight gel, you know? Yeah. Dude, what is it on me? It was like really warm. I kinda liked it. I was like, I was like, oh, you microwave that shit? It's like yo man. He put that ultrasound, a little like a scanner into the dishwasher, you know? With us Akira afterwards. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, dude. I mean, I think that makes a lot of sense. I think that makes a lot of sense where you're not even that old, bro, come on. You know what, you know what's crazy? You're still not older than you're not old, you're not to the age where I had even started comedy yet. You know? Yeah, I wanted to start 34. I was 30 for 33. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And dude, I mean, you know, even back then, I was like, you know, your whole story about four loko was I mean, I wasn't around doing forth oak and running on a treadmill, like a weirdo, but you know for sure, I think it's I think always think I always think it's like getting older isn't necessarily that you can't do crazy shit. It's just that like your power meter, you're like, you use up your power meter really fast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know? Like back in before when you're young, you know you can use your power meter. You can do your special move, and then it powers up right away. You know, yeah. Yeah, it goes right back. Before as you get older, your power move, you can do it. You can still do it, but for three days you can't do anything else. You gotta just lie that. You know? Yeah, I'm a one had okay kind of guy. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You got your shinku a duke and that's it. You can use it on dolls them, but then the next three fights you can't use it. And that's how you get your ass kick by zen GIF. So, you know, that's really what it's about. What does this other thing you wrote here? Not spirally. Oh, that's like, you know, speaking of wellness. Yeah. You know, speaking of speaking of goals, I guess I'm okay talking about this on the podcast. I'm going to talk too much about it. Sure. But Luisa Kay released a new special. Oh my God. I'm going to email this so I got it. And I watched it. By the way, I did not. I must have missed this. You know, you know, Lucy's nominated for a Grammy. Did you know that? For his first album, probably. I mean, he's the last one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that was interesting. I don't know. But obviously, really smart guy, whatever. He's very funny. But there is one part where he talks about the reason why people I don't remember what the joke is, but he makes a really smart point as to the reason why because I talked about it one time I got to LA, got the dream job and I wasn't super happy. And he was like, the reason why that happens to humans is because we make all of our decisions based on fear. And so when you finally get the thing that you want, whatever that may be you, you did it at a fear. So it's not even what you really wanted. So that's why you're not happy. And it blew my mind. I was like, oh my God, that's true. Oh my God, that's so true. It's so true. You take these things and comedy because well what if I don't get another job? Because I think if you're being completely honest, this is like in my mind considered like an unfair expectation or reality. But if I could just do it in this, if I'm just doing this full time, that'd be fucking cool. That's what I really want. It's like the easiest thing for me. But I'm like writing pilots and acting editions because I'm scared. I'm scared. This won't work out. I'm scared that this isn't enough. I'm scared my stand up is not enough. So I do these other things, and maybe I get a role in the new Seth Rogen movie. People are like, that's awesome, dude. Congrats. But is that what I really wanted? No. You know? And that's why, and I just thought, hey, health and wellness. You know what I'm saying? That's something to think about in 2022. I fucking hear you there. And I always think that I don't ever think about what we do here. And even when you and I are like, Japanese salary Manning it up like going somewhere and like doing a speaking thing or whatever. And then it feels like work because I don't do this out of like, oh, I need to do this because if I don't you know what I'm saying? It's something like I wanna do and it's so unusual in life for you to do something out of pure joy. You know? Yes. The same thing with stand up. Like stand up, I know I don't get paid very much for doing it. It's purely something I like to do. And despite many, many drawbacks, many dramas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, but it's like something I find I find joy doing. And I think a lot of people don't have that..

"What you went to the doctor recently? And then so I came back to back to LA and I saw doctor immediately and then the doctor was like, I can't believe this other doctor didn't tell you to go see someone. He referred me to a urologist. I went to a urologist, he was like, oh, I think it's this other thing called a varicose, which a lot of lifters get it. If you flex too much or something, where your veins just get inflamed and cause a lot of pain. So I'm unlike some anti inflammatory pills, but just in case I went to go get a scan like an ultrasound ultrasound my balls, yeah. It was so interesting. I've never done it's so funny because I thought it'd be like a 32nd thing, but it's like 15 minutes long because I do both sides and you know it's funny like my balls are out and this like young Puerto Rican nurse is like doing the thing and because it's 15 minutes, you start to do small talk with you. And it kind of felt like I was at the barber because I think and like I was like cracking jokes, but the entire time his hands around my balls. It was the weirdest fucking experience. I would love it. Have you ever done that? I had an ultrasound on my balls. Yeah, well some people do it for like fertility purposes. I haven't had that done. I mean, the last time I had to go in there, the last time something like that happened was I thought that I had something on my balls. I thought I had like a bump on there. Yeah. And I could feel something like hard. I was like, this is weird. So I went in there and I told the doctor and the doctor was like, I told this story before. And he's like, it's probably you probably don't have cancer because you're too old. He's like, testicular cancer is for men who are under 26 or something. Don't quote me on that. If you're a young man, you feel like you have physical cancer. You should go check it out. But at the time, I wasn't even that old. That was like 28 or something. And he's like, no, you're fine. You don't have anything because I made him touch my balls. I was like, yo, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, crappy balls Brock, you got a ground ball. You got it. I'm not joking. And he's like, he's feeling, and he's like, yep, nothing. Now you made me touch your balls for no reason. And then, yeah. And another time I had to go, this is when I had my appendix, I had my appendix out. For some reason, the doctors had to stick his finger in my butt. I don't know why. I was like, this is not even in the area, you know? This guy comes in. Bro, did you get assaulted? This was a college from USA. Think about it. He just had overalls on. This is weird. No. No, no, no. He had to do something and I made some stupid joke and he was like, you could tell he was so upset about it. Not upset, but he was just like, he'd have heard like a million times. You know, he's like, ha ha. Anything left to right away. But no, I mean, it's crazy when you I feel too, you know, when you're like a young dude, you're like, kind of nervous about stuff like that. Oh, I don't want anyone to touch my balls, ha, or sticking to their fingers. Yeah, but when you get older and you're like in pain, you're like, yes. Do whatever you need to Doc. I will do whatever you need to. If you need to take a videotape and put it on the Internet, do it because dude. That was crazy. I was just thinking that I was like, when you are older and you have pain, you don't care what the circumstances. I was thinking like, if they had to touch, do this ultrasound in the middle of Times Square. I would do it. Yeah, I would do it. I don't care. Like, because this is not funny to me, it's a health issue. Yeah, it is weird how you pass this threshold, and you're like, I do not give a fuck who looks at my penis. I don't give a shit. This is wow, this is dumb. You can roast me. It was really funny 'cause I was getting my Witcher skin like the guy who was like a young guy and you know it's so funny. A lot of young people, no matter what they do, they want to change their careers. He was like talking about he's like, yeah man, if I could do it over again, like, a major computer science and maybe try to code. And I was like, oh, you mean like touching people's balls? Wasn't your dream job? That's weird. Jokes with them. But I just thought it was so funny, like no matter what you do, everybody's trying to get into coding. No matter what it is, I mean, you know what, at least he has a cool at least his thing that he wants is something still matters. He's an important job. It's an important job, and you're gonna get paid well, you know? And I feel like there's so many resources for you to do that..

"It on, I would wipe it immediately. I think it's amazing dude. Let me tell you something, okay? That getting okay, women can have children, and that's great. And the equivalent for men is having a TV. You should see the look on people's faces when they other guys will see this TV and go, oh my God, congratulations. You did. Oh, sure. Guys, guys look at TV's like kind of like babies, because they'll come into your house and be like, oh, what ear is this one? I like this one. I'm gonna get this one in yellow. Congratulations. It's amazing. So not even sponsored content, but LG, if you're out there sponsoring something, what's up? What's up, how about you? What kind of Asian movie this week? Then it's been a skip last week. Thanks for covering for me. I was not here last week. The last episode of the year, a classic Japanese dad. I was gone. I left my family. You weren't. I wasn't Hawaii. Okay. Amazing. I love Hawaii. And I had two weeks off, so I was like, let's go on vacation. And I went to hawai but this week I was a broken Asian. Yeah. I had a little health scare, man. You know, we had a whole health episode, a couple weeks ago with Dylan, Dylan Nadler, and that's how I did that. Dylan McKeon. And we're just talking about getting older and her bodies are falling apart. And this was so fucking scary because it's kind of came out of nowhere. So first of all, on that episode I talked about how my primary care physician was like, you probably have a hurdle on your left side. But he was like a really bad doctor like he didn't explain to me anything. I actually left him like a very bad review because I thought it was not okay what he did. Yeah. So anyway, so that happened, but I was like, okay, whatever. I don't feel any pains on probably fine. I go to Hawaii. I haven't been really exercising a lot in LA because I'm working a lot and it's just I don't walk around as much because it's not New York. So I wanted to do a lot of hikes and stuff, so I was doing a lot of hikes in Hawaii. The beautiful hikes. Everything was going great. And there's one height called cocoa head. Now if anybody's been Hawaii, it's kind of touristy, but it's also very beautiful, but it's like a really intense hike. And when I say hike, it's barely a hike because Hawaii has a lot of Hawaii hikes. They are they used to be like military bases or something. They're caught up pile boxers or pillbox. Yeah, so they have these minor tracks, minor cart tracks. Oh, yeah, it looks like donkey Kong. Those tracks. So it's like that. So you just hike up that. So it's basically stairs. It's basically just fucking stairs. And I mean, the amount of steps I'm telling you, it's kind of like a Chinese Kung fu movie where the master you gotta carry the water in the pale? Yeah, but it's like 50,000 steps. Oh my God, your master's house. You know, it's like that. It's really fucking intense. And so we took it slow, but it's a lot of like the stepping lot of stepping. Regular hiking is more just kind of like walking through. This is like you're actually raising your over and over again. And a question. So did you, when the doctor told you you have this hernia on this on your left side, you didn't do that he didn't say you got to do this or something. I didn't give you anything. No, he didn't say shit. First of all, he said probably. And then he didn't like refer me to like a urologist or whoever the fuck I'm supposed to see. He was like, it's probably fine. It's just like a little bit. And he was like, if you don't feel pain, it's probably okay. So I don't feel any pain, so I was like, okay. You know, we talked about this, right? You don't want to make a big deal of things. I was like, I don't feel any pain. I'm not a football player. I'm fine. So I'm just like hiking, and it's so funny. I was like, I was getting really tired and I made some posts about it. I made a funny post. I was like, how it started. I'm all like, yay. Hiking. Literally like ten minutes in. I'm like sweating so much and I fucking want to leave. I'm so tired. I'm flicking off the camera. And I posted it as a funny Instagram thing. And you know how a lot of our comedian friends will get naughty DMs, he'll be like, I think you're really hot or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And then you and I get different kind of deals. The idea got all my fans were like, no, you haven't heard yet. Be careful. Hey. It's still about your ball. I swear to God, they were like, you shouldn't do that if you're hungry. And I was like, oh my God, you're right. I could be making it worse, right? But I felt fine. So if we make the whole thing up, it's very beautiful. I come back down. I get to the hotel. My balls, my fucking left ball starts hurting so bad. Really? So it really is your ball. Your ball hurts. It's my testicle. If my testicle growing area and then like kind of where my intestines are, but it's mainly in my it's the vein of my left testicle. Jeez is where it hurts. And I'm like touching it and it's like way more vain. You're on the left side and the right side. Oh my God. Like it kind of feels like a bag of worms. It's really fucking. No, I know what you're talking about. Oh, that's great. And I was like, what is happening? And it's not a sharp pain. It feels like somebody kicked my balls and it's that dull pain for like days. But it's just all the time. It's just there. And it's like, it's not. 'cause nobody keeps on the balls really hard, you want to throw up. It's not like that, but it's definitely like to a point where I can't read anything. I can't sit down and work because it's hurting me. Yeah, I can like go for a walk and stuff. So this happened on like day three. So for the rest of the trip, I just had ball pain. Oh my God. I was just like, I think I have like I think I popped a hernia so then I stopped hiking. I swam a couple times because it kind of felt better because yeah, because lifting my balls or whatever. I don't want to know the science of it. But so I was really scared for the rest of the trip. Jesus. Really fucking scary. And I kind of just got me thinking like, you know, I remember when I was 19, I remember like I was back home in Ohio and I remember I went to Ohio State frat party and I remember like I would like shotgun like a four loko and like run on like a treadmill that was like randomly at this frat house and then like go to my internship the next day, like I would do crazy shit. Oh yeah, for sure. And I'd be like, fine, but now that I'm 32, like, literally, I go on a beautiful hike and my balls explode. It is like so insane. Just over the course of ten years that that is my life. You know what I mean? Dude, I mean, yo, it'll just get worse, bro, don't worry. Don't worry bro it'll just get worse, but Jesus, Christ. So..

And we always try to answer that question by asking each other, what kind of Asian we were this week. So Mike, what kind of Asian were you this week? I was I was a high def Asian HD HD, not even HD four K Asian. You're a four K. You're wrong. HD means 1080p. 1080p. I remember when 1080p came out and it was oh my God, 1080p, 1080p is for poor people. That's what PC stands for. It's just a Poe. Ten 80 Pope, okay? I'm not on that level anymore. Get me on four K for a $1000. I spent on my no. Okay, yeah, I got so I moved into a new place. You can see if you're on YouTube. I'm in a new space. And I had this old ass TV, old as fuck. And. We've been chug along with it. And it's a good TV. It's a Samsung. I know people who it's so funny that people who have samsungs are so proud of it. Like Korean people, they will never buy anything else. Samsung. But LG is also Korean. LGs are also the Samsung have a bigger following, you think? Well, I think it's like, it's like, you know how Japanese people were really root for the Japanese guy who's playing in the LLB? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the same thing for free people. This is their ichiro? Yeah. This is like, yo, Samsung or nothing, bun, you know, son. Get out of here. Yeah. I was talking to Karen chee, and she said, when her parents walk into a building, they go, oh, they have a Samsung TV. Yes. I feel like they'll point out. All of a sudden they're like, you go up some points in there. So I had this old TV and it was like it was on its last legs. It was all like washed out and looked all weird. And the Amari variant on the invariant is that Marianne icebox. Icebox. So a whole bunch of a bunch of my shows got canceled. I knew I was gonna be home, so I said, fuck it, I'm gonna get a new TV. I got a new TV. It's oled. It's not sponsored content, okay? This is I have an LG oled TV, amazing. Fucking amazing. I've just been sitting here, I've been sitting. I watched the entire Lord of the Rings, extended edition. That's like 12 hours of elves and wow. Just to take advantage of the TV capabilities. I wanted to see the craziest shit I could find. I was watching it on there. We've been stuck at home for like days and days. I mean, we'll go out and stuff with that. It's not as bad as the beginning of the pandemic but it feels bad. And so I knew I needed a new TV because I was going to be at home a lot. And boom, I'm an HD Asian. So now, let me ask you this. Did you buy it online or did you go get it in person? I bought online and I paid well not very much money, but you can pay a little bit more and then the people will bring it into your house. They won't set it up but they bring in your house. But I was like, I can't be like receiving a TV. That's why I like I've always been afraid to order stuff in New York, especially a TV because they'll just like fucking leave it at your door. Yeah, exactly. Just like on Fifth Avenue where it's like you live. Exactly. Just like on the corner, you know? And a 100% will be taken. So yeah, I paid a little bit more and they came in and you can set a time the window. So I set the earliest time it got 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and they came at like 6 30 in the morning. I could hear them outside of my house. And I got like Santa. It was like Santa. Who knew the Santa Santa are too Dominican guys who work at who work at Amazon, okay? It was like Christmas for me because I was in my robe and I like immediately set it up. I didn't even go back to bed. I was like, fuck this. I woke up Gina. I was like, get up, we're doing this. I've set it up and I looked at all the things and put it up and I plugged it in right away. And then I watched like 12 hours of Lord of the Rings.

I believe i always say short. You can do like an impression of a black def jam comedian. But you can't do an impression of an asian american comedian because we don't have like a specific style that's been ingrained into the greater our form of stand up comedy but sometimes when i listen to the tiger billy or like watch your guys player that game you guys play like minority report where you guessed based on.

And so it was an interesting mix you kind of have to navigate that world so that was my thing but yeah food you ever do any of these activities in. I didn't even know what i obviously knew. Fraternities were from movies. But i guess. I just always assumed that they were white or white centric and then when i went to nyu nyu or is in the middle of the authorize. Yeah it doesn't have accused greek light but it does exist. And that's what i learned about. Asian frats for the first time the asian they would give you flyers but rushed for this thing my roommate. Uc chinese-american from georgia comes from a very strong chinese communities. So he's all about that. He's like chinese bro. He loves basketball very nice. Yup now perfect. He's a key though. He now works in private equity following the path of chinese and he was like do wanna come to like rushing mic servant with me and at the time like. I don't have a lot of friends. And i was like. Yeah of course. Man's like go and like it was like the first part of everybody's asian and this is so crazy. I remember like a lot of these kids have money. So they live luxurious buildings unlike union square on the rooftop penthouse for the penalty and they have all kinds of soju. You on the table and they had like no. They're walkie and then like yeah man. I mean like they made them do like if they were interested like they made. You do like push ups and stuff. I remembered like that was the thing and so there's like this party happening on. The corner of the room was like my roommate. Brian and like other guys. Who want to rush like doing fucking push ups like shirtless and like taking shots and doing burghausen. Like throwing up and all this shit. And i really didn't i remember i met one girl who was like also there with her roommate. Who was really. It was like a fr- fraternities already mixed things they were there. I met one girl who was like who kind of looked like me. Like was wearing like an arcade. Fire t. shirt or something and we're just let me doing here but that was sort of the extent of the coa. They were co ed fraternity party to like get people. It wasn't like official russia van. This was like hey rush like come. Check out what we have to check out Let's see here to push ups. You got exactly. It sounds like you were. You're deep into it. And i mean this is fascinating. Get into a dude rushing. I wish it could have been just like fucking doing shots and doing push ups and that feels like social network to me actually feels like literally a boost from the social network and no so the so the way to rush works is you. You're rushing before you even rush so you're like so.

"Their material is very to what we were talking about with being present it stuff that i seek could see really working on the road. It's asian stuff but it's like high energy you know it's like very simple premises but then like really like big payoffs as far as like bring really loud and that sort of stuff. Worse is like new york. New york is all about like. They're little tiny intricate. Bits of some really clever thing about all looking look at my bitcoin wallet. Yeah that's a good bit so it was. It was such an eye opening experience. And it just made me rethink. Wow i think i know about this universe. I don't there's a multi-diverse house. Other scenes austin asians. There's alt-right asians puckett. There's probably like there's a bunch of people in canada. There's a. There's all the asian asians that's a whole other thing and we're just one. That's racing speaking multi versus Speaking of multi versus our guest. Today i mean shit. I guess we both. We all lived in europe for a long time and have been active there. We've never actually met in person. Because perhaps she does. T's not from earth six hundred six. He's from one. How many dimensions from. We've never actually jersey now. And she is a comedian writer actor and she's got this new book out called the one you want to marry parentheses and other identities. I've had a memoir so excited to talk to her to what kind of asian. She's been this week. you've been up for the holidays. Sofi santo silla thank you. Thank you for the parentheses. No one's they say that the name of the book they never actually include the presley's which is the most important part you gotta open and close it operations. Yeah now i i love that. We're on this marvel theme because i actually recently Was watching in game. And i was recently watching. I'm just going through marble. Tear recently disney plus can't recommend it more And i'm not sponsored by them by the way but you know they want us great and i will say yes to the multi-diverse but we just wanna make sure we're not in the mysterious multi-diverse will which is an actual. That's just an illusion. That's an illusion so for while you were talking. I was like what if this is an illusion for you. Don't fuck with me dude. That's my mind when i was like what have all. These people are just projections rice. It's it's an it's actually not real. It's not real. It's actually jake dillon hall and you know it's it's totally different. You know we want to start off here. We've been touching a lot of things but we wanted to start off. What kind of asian were you this week. Sophie asian little. We've done so such a little careful how you answer because if you answer the wrong way the show automatically ends okay the universe if you answer wrong universe collapses just disappears. I dunno. i know i forget. We're gonna i know dr strange's in the corner and he's already doing this thing. Whatever i say. Everything goes away. Everything i've ever known which is literally just a premise to third spiderman. Okay so i am asian off which actually kind of brings me to your story. Young which is like i do feel a lot of people. Don't owe him asian And that's the thing. I'm philippino I'm spanish filipino So that's a mind. Fuck within itself but most people especially when they're billing me in they're really trying to like throw out that there's they have like a you don't talking about. Oh yeah we want to make sure that we know that we have people that are the credit offer all that. Yeah yeah absolutely saying the always yet. They're saints 'cause they do care and to and it is for us not for them And everyone always bills me as latin necks. It's actually really is originally kinda of like let it roll off my shoulder. 'cause i was like well i'm spanish and there. Is this huge debate. Whether right spanish people can be included in latin next That's a whole history train. You don't need to go down. But i then started being a little like i did. It started to her. No people aren't recognizing that. I'm asian. And i had to like remind people And remind people like that know me. I'm like hey. Can you stop saying i'm latino or latina or whatever and and recognize that. I'm filipino like color. Because i'm filipino. Not because I'm i'm latin. Actually latin people get really pissed off because spaniards are cassandra white. I'm also going to piss off people all right just trying to be who you are. I mean this is what i was saying about the multi verse okay. There's like other kind. You know when you usually think asian american. There's like this main. Like kind of branch i guess. And a lotta times in america. It's like east asians right asians. Who came here in the sixties or seventies and their parents did this and whatever and now we're upper mobile. I whatever the fuck it is. But then there's like this whole other thing you know other these other branches. You know sophie. you're one of them you know and we and and here we are but i imagine filipino. People get that a lot because allow the last name spanish. You know because. I feel like a lot of filipino. Especially if they're like half filipino. Or something like nobody ever thinks that asian. I've never actually had. I think it's great that you brought that up to your friends. Because i think it's difficult to go up to anybody and be like. Hey you better recognize that. I'm asian like that's such a hard thing that's a crazy thing to bring up to somebody you know so i did. I stood on a chair at a party music. Everyone here look at me. Listen to me. This is who i am back back to the katy perry. There's always kind of like a not hockey joke..

That pod moving on to how we always start to show on this podcast. We always try to answer the question. What does it mean to be. Asian american because no goddamn sense so we leon start the show by asking each other. What kind of asia. Where he this week mike. Do you mind if i go. I because i think you're related to the topic that we're going to be talking about today. Yeah yeah man hit me. This week i was erased asian. Okay don't eraser asian like a a cool station. everything erased. i was erased. Okay and by raised. Asian is i. I was kinda tippy around this topic. Because i'm sensitive but this video is already on youtube so i think it's okay. It's already public information and tell the story. I just want to know. I'm not going after anybody. This is just about me. And how i felt and how i reacted okay. I'm not trying to cancel anybody. But basically ken jong he was being interviewed. And you know he's talking about the. He's like promoting messinger and at the end he promoted or like. He was congratulated. Because i guess he is being inducted to the asian hall of fame who it's appropriate up. I thought i thought the guy really really racist. I was like you didn't say asian american. He just asian hall of fame. And i'm like matt like i feel like i. I know i saw this on the outline that we have today and it says asian hall of fame and i was like man. Great bit fumi man. We should have an asian hall of fame. That's not real real. It's a real thing. I go to the website but the but the dragon on it. So it's real. Oh my god drag it on buddhism there kim jong house in there and then can't you just get in for his work on the hangover singer. God okay so he comes on right. And i popped anytime. I see an asian person on the show. I get excited suny lee. You know me what. I see young asian reputation. I started crying. I saw the started crying. She wasn't even do just being interviewed about the olympics. And i was like this is so high and so can john comes on. I'm going crazy right because like right. Now there's no audience is just the staff. I'm going eighty representing supporting given given as people my love. There's not a lot of asian people who work there because it's los angeles doing thing. He's very very funny. And when they get to the topic of the asian hall of fame and kengo's thank you so much and we all clap and then he goes again. This is on youtube okay. Don't cancel then. He goes and that means a lot. Because that's the white people clapping right joking joking right and we all laugh but when he said that i like looked around at the audience he's referring to and like it's not a lot of white people like really so it's like again to my point. A lot of asian people work. There is a lot of non white people who were so simply just wasn't true. I guess it kind of got me thinking about comedy and this relates to your story of the week. And i think it's like you know there's all different definitions for comedy. But i think comedy ultimately you have to be present. That is the one very very much four before funny before pod matic before whatever it just like. Are you talking about right now. Yeah yeah i a lot of comedians. I'm not saying this. But you see a lotta comedians at clubs. And they're lazy. They're stood there. I saw like a bill clinton impression like did you start comedy. Like how old are you..
