what's the most uh vain asians you think because asians you don't think uh
because people think
about asians a lot right do they do they think about asians a lot oh yeah yeah
okay okay yeah
why why why would you think about this a lot because i think it's fascinating
okay right
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 no they
look the same smaller
eyes squint your eyes that's it you know oh that's a good point some of them
are i guess if you have a
tall baby yeah yeah we have a little little squint here a little flatter nose
that's it really you're
all the same man yeah some of us can look whiter than you some of us can be
fairer than white people
oh yeah that's a good point huh yeah i think we should have the we should have
some white privilege
yeah yeah that's unfair i'm whiter than you look at this look at this shit yeah
look at this honky
look at this freaking uh sesame cracker oh thank you it's ridiculous thanks for
inviting me on here
dude it's a pleasure man thank you so much but no what what a um nigel nigel
nigel nigel nigel
yes and how do you say the last name um it's a southeast asian malaysian last
name that's
where i'm from originally yeah that's a living you got it you're the damn
living in word right there i
can't even i know it's dangerous isn't it oh it's dangerous yeah yeah it is
yeah there's a few
letters away it's risky that's an nig there's no a in there thankfully yeah but
it's there's enough
there i think we're about like people would be like what's going on yeah there's
there's that vietnamese
that's a meme of the vietnamese restaurant uh the name of the restaurant is b-i-c-h-n-g-a
oh oh
just pronouncing just ordering food huh 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 yeah wow brother that's what i'm saying man but i also like it's cafe all
of the ribs
so this is a popular sound in and you said you're from malaysia yeah yeah that's
not in vietnam it
would be ng something okay and nga ngu yen win right but in malaysia singapore
and hong kong you will
see ng ng yeah yeah it's confusing no um yeah but are but are so don't forget
this are malaysia is
the most vain who's the most vain koreans man is it yeah like korean koreans
not not bobby lee korean
you know bobby lee's he i think i was born here right he's america yeah there's
an undeniable that
god does not have a birth certificate that's legitimate you know what i'm
saying yeah he probably he's
obviously a pow you know yeah he has a very pow energy that's true and you have
a lot of trauma i
think yeah you have a lot of burn marks on his back too oh really yeah from
cigarettes i think from
gambling issues but people say different things you know yeah but i think koreans
are the vainest asians
man they have a whole skin care they're known for skin care the country is
known for skin care and
plastic surgery oh really yeah bring up some of that uh asian skin care there's
lots of stuff man they put
snail that snail juice you know and a snail crawls it leaves behind like a
trail of goo yeah they put
that on their skin no way look at look at look at that woman she's like glowing
look at that oh they
got some porch lamp asians over there is family big over there is that like a
big thing what's it like
there that you notice that's different between malaysia and us or uk culture i
think it's uh it's really a
difference between asia and and the west really family is big people live with
their parents and
it's socially acceptable to do that right and then when the parents get old we
don't really send them
to homes you know we we bring them into our own home oh yeah instead of sending
them to a nursing home
it's better huh it's nice i think yeah but i what i like about the west is
everybody everybody's so
confident and they have an opinion and they're not afraid to express it and
sometimes in asia
because we are taught a little bit more just obey obey obey you don't really
have that that
confidence and assertiveness and sometimes that doesn't work well here if you're
an asian person
in the west and you have a corporate job and you just keep to yourself you miss
out on promotions
because you're just not you're just not you know speaking enough and not bullshitting
enough and
not you know building that social relationship enough yeah yeah and do asian
people want to
say more like do they have a feeling inside of them we're like i want to speak
up but i don't think
it's appropriate or is it i'm afraid or it's just not part of their capability
natural capability
i think it's all those things i think it's cultural it's like i'm afraid why
don't i just mind my own
business you know put your head down and work hard sometimes that doesn't work
out well you know you
can't just put your head down you gotta put your head up and look at the world
and talk some
shit oh yeah dude that's what stand-up is right yeah oh you have your head down
for a half hour
somebody will start you around here you know yeah yeah it's a dangerous area
that would have your
head down oh yeah some freaking narcan monkey will start freaking jacking you
from the back over there
you know yeah so it's definitely you got to have your head up man yeah is there
something do you
think that um americans could do to better support asian people like to like
like ask more like is
there something like you know what i'm saying like because sometimes there's
never this communication
about how cultures should interact and we're all just left to figure it out you
ask me like i'm the
leader of all the asians but you can the door's been open for many moons
anybody can come any right
i mean just just come legally i hear you they're cracking down on that a little
bit
just wipe your phone you know wipe your phone before you come uh what can you
do honestly i enjoy
living in l.a because i feel like the asian food here is probably some of the
best in the world maybe new
york is better i don't know but here i just drive 20 minutes to san gabriel
valley and that's all the
chinese and taiwanese people and there's korea town a 10 minute drive from me
that little tokyo
you just i like that just don't with us let us do our thing okay and everybody's
happy you know just
enjoy just enjoy enjoy enjoy our food enjoy the food yeah i'm wondering just in
asian culture even
because asian culture to me right and i know i relate things to culture a lot
but um i think it play it's
played a big role in my life i think somehow but asian people seem more
reserved overall right we
kind of talked about that yeah so is that even scarier to put yourself out
there in an asians
like as an asian you think than it would be in other cultures where it's more
like boisterous you
know i never thought about this i think it would be you know in in the us uh i
think people here
like it when you're being creative at least they're supportive you know like
you go do you do you
yeah yeah people are more positive you can be gay too man you know yeah if you
try to put us that
song in malaysia asians can be gay too that's not gonna go far i think i think
in some countries
that would be illegal as well oh yeah asians can be gay too muslims can be gay
too this dude that song
needs a remake in every culture i wish we had a such a cool like racial slur
for asian people
you know we got we got but it's nowhere near the right cultural coolness yeah i'm
trying to think of
uh chop dogs would be good but that's kind of fun yeah that's funny that's
funny to say look at my
chop dogs right here yeah look at best asian racial slurs if you can
sorry that's probably on x not on youtube yeah best asian slurs yeah at elon
yeah excuse me grok do you know if these slurs are definitely asian let's just
look up a couple i don't
want to get crazy yeah have you had elon on the pod i have not uh mama son mongoloid
i thought that was
for like down syndrome people it's not for asian that's just redneck people who
don't know how to
say uh mongolia mongolians yeah can we have some mongoloid beef
look i ate so much of it i can't even read that well anymore my forehead got
bigger after eating
and mongoloid beef my eyes got sunken in yeah yeah oh my god we gotta get out
of here dude we have
a lot of respect for asian culture here thank you and i think we want to go oh
yeah that's japanese but
you know it is yeah i got uh about that that's how do you must say huh how do
you mean must day
i don't know what that means oh i know one word oh our friendship begins that's
what it means in
japanese thank you hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi i love the way they say thank you in
japan it just
they just bow at you yeah the most polite asian people i know you know have you
been there you
toured there beautiful yeah i've been to japan i haven't toured there though oh
you should tour
there i think you'll get a good crowd you think so expat crowd yeah and then
maybe a few like random
japanese people who got lost yeah yeah i like the hair cutter i just end up
with your show what yeah what is
this what asian have the most like a lot of asians squint when they look right
yeah yeah which asian
have the every race squint when they look come on you squint when you look too
oh yeah i look a little
way man yeah you got a little asian in you yeah yeah yeah um uh and what but
what asian have the most
squint is there one that like what asian has the one where you just want to put
a couple quarters
in their face you know what i'm talking about type of you know the squinty eye
the squintiest asians
i don't know i mean maybe mongolians because bring them up bring them up yeah
because they have like
really puffy cheeks in there oh so that it's a so it just pushed the cheeks
push the eyelids up
maybe beautiful i love that yeah squinty is what let me see what you search let
me see the google
search yeah so the search i mean that's going to get us in trouble dude oh man
i love i would love
to be on this brainstorming session when you guys had me on yesterday
brainstorm session nigel's coming
what can we ask him i don't know ask him we're afraid to say your name out loud
in case this place is
bugged by fucking memphis pd dude um yeah that's another grok question yeah
bring it up on grok
as well see if they can help us some people say japanese people because like
the blast was so
bright it like that they have like permanent sunglasses well it like it was a
lot for the community
it's all heartbreaking man ah oh it's a stereotype tied to east asian it's not
a stereotype if it's
kind of true right no bring up some wide-eyed asians in let's see it because
this could all be
bullshit so when i see 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 because otherwise if i look
down it just it's just a
slit yeah you know so i know i experienced that problem oh this is beautiful
yeah i think this is
a stereotype man we might want to get rid of that stereotype i don't know if
that's true i think it's
true man what are um what are common plastic surgeries that some asians get in
order to adjust
themselves eyes bigger make your eyes bigger yeah look at the one lady's got
one eye big and one eye
regular look at that second row left left oh that's makeup no and i think
contact lenses let's see let's
see let's play it let's play it yeah that's that's crazy asian bring catfish to
a whole new level man yeah
oh it's like one of those rorschach church no you search like crazy chinese
makeup and you'll
see it on tiktok but the beauty of it is is how much how artistic and that asians
are yeah but it
takes ages it takes so much time out of your day yeah asians they call them
yeah look at this woman
just transform yeah and oh she even puts a fake nose on to make the nose slimmer
oh look at this
huh oh it's rob schneider simmer
that's just a joke rob wow this is really what jeff bezos's wife does you know
yeah this is crazy
bro this really happens i think this is a rare case you know yeah all of rob
