- How about this one?
The language we've talked about, the language is harsh.
It's sharp.
It stings. - Well, which one?
There's also a lot.
- Well, Mandarin.
- Okay, what's the one that you are?
- I can speak a few, but...
- That's arrogant.
- I'm not saying that.
No, no, 'cause I grew up in Hong Kong,
but my parents speak Shanghainese, and then...
- Okay, so if I'm in Hong Kong, let me...
- Cantonese will be in Hong Kong.
- Cantonese.
Say something in Cantonese.
I'm gonna see if it's harsh.
- How about this?
Say, "Hey, you guys, save me a seat
when you get to the restaurant in that world."
- See, it's like, "Jesus Christ, all right."
- It's like a machine gun going off.
- Yeah.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Now listen in Korean, save me a seat when you get there.
- What?
- In Korean, save me a seat. - I don't know how to say that.
- Make it up, head.
- Oh.
- Very nice, I'm gonna say a seat.
- No, he's saying it very softly.
That's bull .
That's bull .
He's like...
- No, no, that's how we talk.
- I have never heard that tone of Switch games.
- That's how they talk.
- That's how we talk.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- On the run for their life.
They have to be yelling.
Give me the Korean.
Let's hear it.
That's Korean.
Here we go.
- Pretty similar.
- Yeah, that's what's...
Yeah.
- Do they have Cantonese?
They might have Cantonese.
- Let's just put Mandarin in it.
- Yeah, let's go.
- Oh, there you go.
- It's Cantonese, let's hear it.
- That's new.
- Oh, they don't have it.
- God bless.
- 'Cause they don't have enough...
- Oh, they don't, yeah, yeah.
They can't get a voiceover guy that has a harsh...
- Do Mandarin.
- Go Mandarin.
- No, just do Chinese tradition.
- Let's go Chinese.
- M-A-N, M-A-N, yeah.
- Simplified, there you go.
- Traditional and simplified.
- There you go.
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
- See, isn't that so nice?
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
- No, it's not nice.
- You know what, they had to put it with a woman's voice
just to make it sound.
- Exactly.
- Yeah, yeah, it's just an aggressive thing, you know?
And you know, what's up with Tai Chi?
Is that a martial arts or is it a meditative thing
that you're doing?
- It's a little bit of both.
- I've never seen anyone fight anyone with Tai Chi.
- I don't think you fight with Tai Chi, it's an exercise.
- Yeah, yeah, dude, how is this a martial arts, dude?
There's no way to do it.
- See, that's the opposite aggressive, you know what I mean?
- That is true.
- There's no Asians more aggressive than Koreans, I think.
- I don't care how long...
- Koreans will kick your ass.
- Yes, they will.
- For good or for bad, like, you know.
- And don't ever forget that.
- I don't ever, I don't fuck with you, Bobby.
- Yeah, don't fuck with me, okay?
- What about Japanese though?
The Japanese got some wild motherfuckers.
- I don't know a lot.
There's not a lot of like authentic Japanese people
in LA, I feel like.
I like Japan, I like the experience in Japan.
- What does that say about Japanese
that they don't want to live in LA?
That's interesting, 'cause there's a lot of Korean
and a lot of Chinese here, but not a lot of Japanese.
- Yeah. - Why not?
- I don't know.
- You think it's a superiority thing?
'Cause a lot of, he always says
they have a superiority complex.
- I never said that.
- Yeah, you do, you said that like they're-
- That's insane.
- What do you mean?
We have that on tape.
- Yeah, you say- - You say they think
they're the best.
You say that all the time.
- They are the best.
- Okay, what the fuck? - Oh, wow.
- What are we saying then?
I just said what you said.
- Okay.
- You said they have a superiority complex.
They think they're complex.
They think that was a legitimate accident.
- But don't you think that they're perceived
as the best or no?
What do you think, Jimmy?
- I think it's because they project that.
- I think they run their country very well.
There's good food.
There's a good sense of respect there.
There's a high-speed railway.
- Love. - That's a very good one.
- You know?
- I think they're doing pretty good.
- I'm a big fan of Japan.
- Yeah, me too.
- Big fan of Japan.
By the way, I'm going to Hong Kong for the first time.
Are you touring there?
- No, I'm doing a new show that I'm doing,
so I'm going to go there for a couple of days.
- Is that when you're going to go to Korea?
That same time?
- We're going to go to Korea right after.
- Okay.
- Oh, what kind of show is this?
Like a travel show?
- No, there's an alternative golf league,
and I started a little show that I'm doing with them
where I walk and talk with players,
and we just goof around
and get a glimpse of their life.
- That's the dream.
- I do.
- It's a big dream for him.
- For me, it genuinely is.
- Do you play golf?
- I can't.
- Me either.
- I don't have the patience.
- Me either, dude.
- I'm too angry.
- Too Chinese.
- Yeah, too Chinese.
- Too Chinese.
- Too Korean, too Chinese.
- Do you think you could beat me in ping-pong?
- Uh, probably.
- Yeah, that's you guys' golf.
- You know, well...
- Ping-pong is Asian golf.
- Ping-pong is a weird thing because,
first of all, people assume I'm good at ping-pong,
and I used to be really good.
- Okay.
- 'Cause I trained when I was a child in Hong Kong.
You know, but now, it's really shameful
because I haven't played in so long.
People assume I'm good, and I'm actually not good.
I can't...
- I can look good playing it.
- But you just said that you could beat me,
even though you're not gonna go fuck yourself.
- No, if I, you know, I...
- I can beat you.
- Yeah, okay, probably.
- By the way, by the way,
he crossed his legs so eloquently as he said,
"Yeah, I probably could beat you."
- This is a very uncomfortable chair.
What do you guys want me to do?
- I know.
- 'Cause I was leaned up.
I don't want your audience to be like,
"Oh, he seems uncomfortable."
- No, I'm like trying to...
- I sat in that chair.
- You know?
- That's right, Gabby.
- Jack Black sat on that chair.
- A lot of famous people.
- A lot of famous people sat on that chair.
- Wow.
- Machine Gun Kelly.
- Sat in that chair.
No, he's the pink one, right?
- Yeah, pink one.
- Oh, sorry about that.
Stay in the blue one, then.
Yeah, that one's true.
- Stay in the blue one, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- How's your show, by the way?
Everyone seems to absolutely love your show.
- And Terry Chinatown.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, man.
It was awesome.
I think from what I hear, you know,
they haven't shared the numbers with us,
but from what I hear, people are really liking it.
- Chloe Bennett's on that?
- Chloe Bennett, Ronnie Chang's on it.
- And our good friend, Lisa Gilroy,
who we love so very much.
- She's great.
- She is amazing, right?
- Number one, dude.
- Yeah.
- Chloe Bennett, look at that, Ronnie Chang.
We love us from Ronnie Chang.
And that's Alan, is that Alan?
- No, that's Charles Yu.
- Oh, I couldn't see.
Zoom in.
- He wrote the book, and he's a showrunner,
and that's Taika.
- Taika's great.
- There's Taika YTT.
- That's awesome.
- That's great.
- Good for you, dude.
This is amazing.
It's on Hulu, right?
- Yeah, it's on Hulu.
- Amazing.
- We love Hulu, we're Hulu kids over here.
- We love Hulu.
- We got specials coming out on Hulu.
- Oh, really?
Both of you?
- Yeah.
- Oh, maybe I should do one.
Wait, Bobby, I thought the first piece of advice
Bobby told me when I was coming up,
he was like, "Don't ever do a standup special."
Save your material,
and then you can tour with the same material
in colleges for 20 years.
- 30.
- Yeah?
- 30.
- Yo, that was sound advice, you know?
He's like, "Why would you want to do a special?"
And then now you have to write in a whole new hour.
- We literally just talked about it.
- I took that to heart, man.
You know?
- You did what?
You didn't go by my fucking suggestion.
- You've done a few.
- I don't, I seriously, I swear,
like when I said,
"Okay, I'll do one and I'll quit."
And I said, "I'll do my second one
for this amount of money and I'll quit."
Then, you know, it's just too fun, man.
This is what we do.
- Yeah.
- They're so much fun.
- Bobby, this is your,
well, how many specials have you done now?
- None.
- So this is your first one.
- This is huge.
- Yes.
- Yeah, it's a big deal.
- This is huge.
- It's just, okay.
- Yeah.
- Wow, when is it coming out?
- We don't know yet, but you know.
- Wait, we do.
He filmed it at the end of this year.
- Oh, okay.
- I can't believe that I gave you that suggestion.
It's sound advice.
- Yeah, but you didn't go with advice.
- Only 10 years later.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Him going against your advice worked out pretty well for him.
- I think we did it when you were in,
I know, I remember the day.
It was when I was living in the apartment on Beachwood.
- When I did Tiger Belly.
- Yeah, yeah.
That's when I gave you the advice.
Yeah, I remember now.
- The Beachwood days.
- The Beachwood days.
- Where are you living now?
You're still in Los Angeles, aren't you?
Is your house okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Were you scared last night?
- I was, I went to K-Town and they didn't evacuate my place,
but I'm like, dude, let me just go to the hotel in K-Town,
grab all my stuff.
- Yeah.
- What are you going to do, man?
Are you going to stay in LA?
- I don't, you know what I like?
I like Vancouver.
- Whoa.
- I've shot a couple of things in Vancouver.
- Yeah.
- It's really nice.
Great Chinese food.
It's safe.
- So expensive, dude.
- It's so expensive, though.
- But I mean, it's expensive anywhere.
- Yeah.
- No, not in fucking Idaho.
- Right.
- Montana.
- Right, but see, these are places
that are great for you, you know?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what you mean, good, thank you.
I think it's good for you.
- And back in the day.
- Everyone's like-
- This whole country was great for people like me.
And then we let you guys in.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause everyone's like, why don't you move to Texas?
Why don't you move to Nashville, whatever?
I'm like, that's not great for me.
- It's okay for you.
- No, no, it's fine.
- You're killing Texas.
- I like it, just like I like it here.
I can assimilate, I can make all kinds of,
all my friends with different ethnicities, but like
Vancouver, like I just felt like home.
I felt like Hong Kong.
- It's very, very Chinese.
- It's like Asian majority.
And I felt there's a weird like familiarity and safeness
and the food just makes sense to me there.
- Yeah.
- Canada's great, man.
Here's the thing about whites anywhere else.
Okay.
It's not that they have hatred.
It's that they don't see people like us often.
Like when I was in Butte, Montana shooting that movie.
- Yeah.
I was in a AA meeting, okay?
And some guy was pouring coffee in people's glasses.
The guy came up to me and goes,
"Hey man, sorry, we don't have any green tea."
- That's a very accommodating one.
- Right, and I go-
- It's actually pretty polite.
- I drink coffee too, man.
You know what I mean?
- Oh, we know, but what happens when you do drink coffee?
Don't you guys turn off all the time, man?
- I don't want you Kung Fu-ing.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Don't be Kung Fu-ing.
- Somebody that like doesn't, isn't around us that often.
And then they just want to be nice.
- That's right.
- But it comes out, you know what I mean?
A little racist, but I don't mind that.
It's just people are just trying to acclimate themselves to us.
- Yeah, it's not malicious.
- It's not malicious.
- I don't feel bad after that happens,
but I feel like, could I really be friends with this man?
- Maybe.
- Maybe.
- It will be hard.
It will be an uphill battle.
- Well, we're gonna, we're leaving.
We're moving.
- We're not moving.
- Bob and I are moving.
Where are you guys going?
We figured how can we get the most central in the United States?
- And it's Missouri.
We're going to Missouri.
It's the most central state in the United States.
So we're going to Missouri.
- I'll go to Las Vegas.
That's it.
- Let's go.
- You'll move to Las Vegas.
- 100%, let's go.
- Yeah, tax free.
- Dude, fuck this place.
Let's get the fire.
Let's go to Vegas.
- I think you'd be better, huh?
- Let's do it.
- We can get, how about this?
I'll do this.
Keep our houses here.
- Nah, fuck this place.
Let's get out.
- I love my house.
- Keep your house.
- Are you guys safe?
The house good?
- Yeah, we're good.
- He's lucky.
He, the fire was right near him.
- Yeah, we're very lucky.
- Wow.
- You guys are in the hills.
It's different for you guys are threatened all the time.
Us in the flats.
We're not that, we're not threatened as much.
We're not threatened as much.
- If I call, this is new.
If I call Asians, my Asian sisters, sisters.
- No.
- No, what I'm asking you is,
what's the problemo, por favor?
- Well, I'll tell you.
That is a black cultural nickname for black women, sisters.
You don't do that.
You guys don't do that.
- Can I say brothers then?
- Absolutely not.
- Well, you can say like in Korean,
isn't it, hyung, right?
- Yeah, hyung.
- Say something like, and like,
koko, mei mei, you know, in Mandarin.
So maybe, maybe we gotta bring that back.
- No.
- Oh, so we can't.
- Oh, you can't even, we can't even.
- We can't even ref ref.
- We can't even reference our Asian friends.
- Female friends.
- Female friends.
- As anything remotely sister or anything like that.
- No.
- And let me tell you something, pal.
You wanna do that in Vancouver?
You can.
But here in my country.
- Yeah.
- No, I think it's just a,
it's a black cultural thing
that when I hear somebody non-black go like,
like my sisters are brothers,
I'm always like, no, don't do that.
That's a black thing, dude.
That's theirs.
- Are you gonna take more stuff from black people?
- But no, but like Hogan is like, brother, you know?
- Yeah, tell me about Hogan brother.
- Yeah, brother.
- It's because he does it with such,
well, he's also said the N-word a few times on tape.
- I see, I see, I see.
- They have him.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They caught him.
- Right.
- No, you know what it is?
It's just, I can't have Asians do it again.
That's what I'm saying.
Can't have him do it again.
You guys did it with Black Lives Matter.
- What?
- You overtook them, you did Stop Asian Hate.
You remember.
- That's two different incidents.
- Don't even start it.
- Exactly, exactly.
- Black Lives Matter was humming along.
They were moved, that train was chugging along.
And then here comes Stop Asian Hate.
- Yeah, okay.
- Stopped it right in its tracks.
- All right, okay.
- You remember.
- Yeah, I remember.
- And everyone forgot about it.
- Yeah, yeah, all right.
So, well, Jimmy and I, when we go back to the meeting.
- Yeah, when you go back.
- We have our meeting once a month.
- Yeah.
- You know what I mean?
And, you know, Steven, you, everyone goes.
- Yeah.
- And we have some of our-
- No, I like that.
- Can I call them sisters now?
But like, Aquafina, one of our sisters,
we're gonna change the lingo.
That's the lingo now.
But at the meeting-
- We'll come up with a new one.
- At the meeting we'll come up with a new one.
- What was the thing you said in Mandarin?
- Maymay is like little sister.
And then-
- Perfect, say maymay.
- Kuka is older brother.
You know, there's different words.
- Yeah, your maymay's and your kukkas.
- Hey, that sounded kind of cool, actually.
- You guys- - That's Chinese.
- Yeah, well then be Chinese, bud.
You're gonna be-
- Oh, you know what, dude?
I'll be Chinese.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, 'cause I don't wanna steal any more words.
- Or you can be, you can be heung.
- Heung, okay, good.
- You are heung.
- But now what you're saying, Jimmy,
is we have to memorize every fucking Japanese
what fucking brother and sister means.
I'm not gonna do all that.
- You're not hanging out with Japanese people.
We already talked about this.
- Okay.
Or Vietnamese.
What's the Vietnamese question?
- You're not hanging out with them either.
- I am.
- No, you're not.
For you, it's Korean, Chinese, Filipino.
Those are the three.
- I don't know what you're doing right now,
but I don't like it.
- It's working.
- I don't like it.
- No, let's go backwards.
- Let's go backwards, let's go backwards.
- Obviously, you can call them sisters.
- Okay.
- I'm fucking joking.
Jesus Christ, what show are we on?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- That's new.
- Oh, they don't have it.
- God bless.
- 'Cause they don't have enough...
- Oh, they don't, yeah, yeah.
They can't get a voiceover guy that has a harsh...
- Do Mandarin.
- Go Mandarin.
- No, just do Chinese tradition.
- Let's go Chinese.
- M-A-N, M-A-N, yeah.
- Simplified, there you go.
- Traditional and simplified.
- There you go.
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
- See, isn't that so nice?
- Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
- No, it's not nice.
- You know what, they had to put it with a woman's voice
just to make it sound.
- Exactly.
- Yeah, yeah, it's just an aggressive thing, you know?
And you know, what's up with Tai Chi?
Is that a martial arts or is it a meditative thing

- I've never seen anyone fight anyone with Tai Chi.

- What about Japanese though?
The Japanese got some wild motherfuckers.
- I don't know a lot.
There's not a lot of like authentic Japanese people
in LA, I feel like.
I like Japan, I like the experience in Japan.
- What does that say about Japanese
that they don't want to live in LA?
That's interesting, 'cause there's a lot of Korean
and a lot of Chinese here, but not a lot of Japanese.
- Yeah. - Why not?
- I don't know.
- You think it's a superiority thing?
'Cause a lot of, he always says
they have a superiority complex.
- I never said that.
- Yeah, you do, you said that like they're-
- That's insane.
- What do you mean?
We have that on tape.
- Yeah, you say- - You say they think
they're the best.
You say that all the time.
- They are the best.
- Okay, what the fuck? - Oh, wow.
- What are we saying then?
I just said what you said.
- Okay.
- You said they have a superiority complex.
They think they're complex.
They think that was a legitimate accident.
- But don't you think that they're perceived
as the best or no?
What do you think, Jimmy?
- I think it's because they project that.
- I think they run their country very well.
There's good food.
There's a good sense of respect there.
There's a high-speed railway.
- Love. - That's a very good one.
- You know?
- I think they're doing pretty good.
- I'm a big fan of Japan.
- Yeah, me too.
- Big fan of Japan.
By the way, I'm going to Hong Kong for the first time.
Are you touring there?
- No, I'm doing a new show that I'm doing,
so I'm going to go there for a couple of days.
- Is that when you're going to go to Korea?
That same time?
- We're going to go to Korea right after.
- Okay.
- Oh, what kind of show is this?
Like a travel show?
- No, there's an alternative golf league,
and I started a little show that I'm doing with them
where I walk and talk with players,
and we just goof around
and get a glimpse of their life.
- That's the dream.
- I do.
- It's a big dream for him.
- For me, it genuinely is.
- Do you play golf?
- I can't.
- Me either.
- I don't have the patience.
- Me either, dude.
- I'm too angry.
- Too Chinese.
- Yeah, too Chinese.
- Too Chinese.
- Too Korean, too Chinese.
- Do you think you could beat me in ping-pong?
- Uh, probably.
- Yeah, that's you guys' golf.
- You know, well...
- Ping-pong is Asian golf.
- Ping-pong is a weird thing because,
first of all, people assume I'm good at ping-pong,
and I used to be really good.
- Okay.
- 'Cause I trained when I was a child in Hong Kong.
You know, but now, it's really shameful
because I haven't played in so long.
People assume I'm good, and I'm actually not good.
I can't...
- I can look good playing it.
- But you just said that you could beat me,
even though you're not gonna go fuck yourself.
- No, if I, you know, I...
- I can beat you.
- Yeah, okay, probably.
- By the way, by the way,
he crossed his legs so eloquently as he said,
"Yeah, I probably could beat you."
- This is a very uncomfortable chair.
What do you guys want me to do?
- I know.
- 'Cause I was leaned up.
I don't want your audience to be like,
"Oh, he seems uncomfortable."
- No, I'm like trying to...
- I sat in that chair.
- You know?
- That's right, Gabby.
- Jack Black sat on that chair.
- A lot of famous people.
- A lot of famous people sat on that chair.
- Wow.
- Machine Gun Kelly.
- Sat in that chair.
No, he's the pink one, right?
- Yeah, pink one.
- Oh, sorry about that.
Stay in the blue one, then.
Yeah, that one's true.
- Stay in the blue one, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- How's your show, by the way?
Everyone seems to absolutely love your show.
- And Terry Chinatown.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, man.
It was awesome.
I think from what I hear, you know,
they haven't shared the numbers with us,
but from what I hear, people are really liking it.
- Chloe Bennett's on that?
- Chloe Bennett, Ronnie Chang's on it.
- And our good friend, Lisa Gilroy,
who we love so very much.
- She's great.
- She is amazing, right?
- Number one, dude.
- Yeah.
- Chloe Bennett, look at that, Ronnie Chang.
We love us from Ronnie Chang.
And that's Alan, is that Alan?
- No, that's Charles Yu.
- Oh, I couldn't see.
Zoom in.
- He wrote the book, and he's a showrunner,
and that's Taika.
- Taika's great.
- There's Taika YTT.
- That's awesome.
- That's great.
- Good for you, dude.
This is amazing.
It's on Hulu, right?
- Yeah, it's on Hulu.
- Amazing.
- We love Hulu, we're Hulu kids over here.
- We love Hulu.
- We got specials coming out on Hulu.
- Oh, really?
Both of you?
- Yeah.
- Oh, maybe I should do one.
Wait, Bobby, I thought the first piece of advice
Bobby told me when I was coming up,
he was like, "Don't ever do a standup special."
Save your material,
and then you can tour with the same material
in colleges for 20 years.
- 30.
- Yeah?
- 30.
- Yo, that was sound advice, you know?
He's like, "Why would you want to do a special?"
And then now you have to write in a whole new hour.
- We literally just talked about it.
- I took that to heart, man.
You know?
- You did what?
You didn't go by my fucking suggestion.
- You've done a few.
- I don't, I seriously, I swear,
like when I said,
"Okay, I'll do one and I'll quit."
And I said, "I'll do my second one
for this amount of money and I'll quit."
Then, you know, it's just too fun, man.
This is what we do.
- Yeah.
- They're so much fun.
- Bobby, this is your,
well, how many specials have you done now?
- None.
- So this is your first one.
- This is huge.
- Yes.
- Yeah, it's a big deal.
- This is huge.
- It's just, okay.
- Yeah.
- Wow, when is it coming out?
- We don't know yet, but you know.
- Wait, we do.
He filmed it at the end of this year.
- Oh, okay.
- I can't believe that I gave you that suggestion.
It's sound advice.
- Yeah, but you didn't go with advice.
- Only 10 years later.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Him going against your advice worked out pretty well for him.
- I think we did it when you were in,
I know, I remember the day.
It was when I was living in the apartment on Beachwood.
- When I did Tiger Belly.
- Yeah, yeah.
That's when I gave you the advice.
Yeah, I remember now.
- The Beachwood days.
- The Beachwood days.
- Where are you living now?
You're still in Los Angeles, aren't you?
Is your house okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Were you scared last night?
- I was, I went to K-Town and they didn't evacuate my place,
but I'm like, dude, let me just go to the hotel in K-Town,
grab all my stuff.
- Yeah.
- What are you going to do, man?
Are you going to stay in LA?
- I don't, you know what I like?
I like Vancouver.
- Whoa.
- I've shot a couple of things in Vancouver.
- Yeah.
- It's really nice.
Great Chinese food.
It's safe.
- So expensive, dude.
- It's so expensive, though.
- But I mean, it's expensive anywhere.
- Yeah.
- No, not in fucking Idaho.
- Right.
- Montana.
- Right, but see, these are places
that are great for you, you know?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what you mean, good, thank you.
I think it's good for you.
- And back in the day.
- Everyone's like-
- This whole country was great for people like me.
And then we let you guys in.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause everyone's like, why don't you move to Texas?
Why don't you move to Nashville, whatever?
I'm like, that's not great for me.
- It's okay for you.
- No, no, it's fine.
- You're killing Texas.
- I like it, just like I like it here.
I can assimilate, I can make all kinds of,
all my friends with different ethnicities, but like
Vancouver, like I just felt like home.
I felt like Hong Kong.
- It's very, very Chinese.
- It's like Asian majority.
And I felt there's a weird like familiarity and safeness
and the food just makes sense to me there.
- Yeah.
- Canada's great, man.
Here's the thing about whites anywhere else.
Okay.
It's not that they have hatred.
It's that they don't see people like us often.
Like when I was in Butte, Montana shooting that movie.
- Yeah.
I was in a AA meeting, okay?
And some guy was pouring coffee in people's glasses.
The guy came up to me and goes,
"Hey man, sorry, we don't have any green tea."
- That's a very accommodating one.
- Right, and I go-
- It's actually pretty polite.
- I drink coffee too, man.
You know what I mean?
- Oh, we know, but what happens when you do drink coffee?
Don't you guys turn off all the time, man?
- I don't want you Kung Fu-ing.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Don't be Kung Fu-ing.
- Somebody that like doesn't, isn't around us that often.
And then they just want to be nice.
- That's right.
- But it comes out, you know what I mean?
A little racist, but I don't mind that.
It's just people are just trying to acclimate themselves to us.
- Yeah, it's not malicious.
- It's not malicious.
- I don't feel bad after that happens,
but I feel like, could I really be friends with this man?
- Maybe.
- Maybe.
- It will be hard.
It will be an uphill battle.
- Well, we're gonna, we're leaving.
We're moving.
- We're not moving.
- Bob and I are moving.
Where are you guys going?
We figured how can we get the most central in the United States?
- And it's Missouri.
We're going to Missouri.
It's the most central state in the United States.
So we're going to Missouri.
- I'll go to Las Vegas.
That's it.
- Let's go.
- You'll move to Las Vegas.
- 100%, let's go.
- Yeah, tax free.
- Dude, fuck this place.
Let's get the fire.
Let's go to Vegas.
- I think you'd be better
