He opens with his unfiltered take on travel, food, and why Hong Kong deserves more global attention, highlighting its world-class cuisine, fusion culture, and international appeal. Jimmy reflects on his breakout role in Crazy Rich Asians, sharing how persistence, a single audition, and support from his team helped him land the scene-stealing role of Bernard Tai. He reveals behind-the-scenes moments, from improvising key scenes to influencing wardrobe choices that made his character unforgettable. He also recalls working alongside cast members like Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Henry Golding, Constance Wu, Nico Santos, Ronny Chieng, and Chris Pang, describing the experience as creatively and culturally transformative. The conversation dives into his comedy roots, including how improvisation—something even legends like Robert De Niro embrace—shaped his acting style. Jimmy explains that playing over-the-top characters comes from letting go of control and trusting the moment. He shares personal stories about growing up in Hong Kong, cultural traditions like red envelopes during Chinese New Year, and how early exposure to money management shaped his financial mindset. Jimmy contrasts Eastern and Western attitudes toward money, success, and lifestyle with humor and honesty. From there, he opens up about his early struggles in America—learning English by watching BET’s Comic View and Rap City, navigating cultural differences, and finding his place in a diverse environment. He reflects on identity, assimilation, and the challenges of being seen as “foreign,” even within his own community. Jimmy also recounts his unconventional path to comedy, including working as a strip club DJ, selling used cars, and grinding through open mics in Los Angeles before landing roles on Silicon Valley. Along the way, he draws inspiration from comedians like Dave Chappelle and George Lopez, while also acknowledging Asian pioneers such as Bobby Lee, Ken Jeong, Margaret Cho, and Yao Ming, who helped pave the way. The episode also explores representation in media, stereotypes, and authenticity, referencing conversations around actors like Peter Dinklage. Jimmy explains why he embraces his background—including accents—while pushing for more nuanced portrayals of Asian characters in Hollywood. Throughout the conversation, Jimmy blends sharp humor with real-life experiences, offering a candid look at the grind behind success, the immigrant experience, and the evolving landscape of comedy and entertainment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Check out Game Recognized Game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. I want to ask you this. Do you communicate with your parents in Chinese? In Shanghai, mostly, yeah. And your parents are here, right? Yeah.

So you don't never really talk to them in English. you talk to them in your native language. Yeah, which I find sometimes difficult, like, to bring my friends to my house. Right. Because then how do I co-switch? Because you have a conversation and they have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah. That's why I think sometimes a lot of immigrants are really funny because we can make fun of people

in the restaurant right next to us in our language, right? It's like you learn to roast people. But then when I bring my friends to dinner and my parents, sometimes I have trouble because I feel bad forcing my parents to speak English. Right. But at the same time, I don't want to be speaking Chinese the whole time. Then my friends don't feel included. Included, correct.

Especially also in relationships. Yeah. Also, it becomes very hard, you know, like, say, dating an American girl is somebody that don't speak Chinese. Right. And then it becomes like an awkward interaction with my parents. My parents, you know, they don't care who I date, you know, but. They don't want you to, they, would they, would they, do you think they would prefer you to

today? I think they would prefer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they can communicate better. Right. But, you know, my mom's always has been always very kind to any girl I've brought home. Well, my dad's a little more judgmental. He's like, she didn't even call me uncle, like, which is not in American culture to call a strength.

But you call any elder uncle and auntie. Really? Respect, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean, black communities do that too. Like, you call somebody miss something. Yes.

Right? Yes. Or Mr. Mr. Yes. Right? Or sir. Yeah, uncle is a term of being dear.

It's someone that's older. And you're like, hey, what's going on? Hey, auntie? Yeah. What it is? There's a sense of respect. Yes. In that language.

Yes. And that's very important to the older generation like my dad. So when I bring like a very westernized girl that don't call him uncle or like don't try to pour him tea or open a door for him, he gets mad. Really? Yeah. The Asian, you guys are big on respect. That's it. That is huge.

Huge. Yeah. I think if one thing, that is the big, that is the foundation of the Asian community is respect above all things else. Yeah. And I think it's so important. you know, and you have a responsibility to take care of the elders, be nice, respectful to your teachers, to your elders. This is all an early teaching in our school. And I think a lot, America lacks that. Yes. You know, even at the highest level, I'm not trying to get into politics or anything,

but our president's one of the most disrespectful person on the planet, you know. And then there's just no sense of respecting the elders and listening to the elders' advice, which I think, is very, very important, and you can learn a lot. You know what? Because a lot of times, like, in the Asian community, as your mom and dad, their parents get older, they generally would move in with you guys. You feel like if that the male's responsibility, the son, they take on the responsibility of caring for the parents,

or is that a daughter, or how does that work? I think, yeah, in the old school, like, old school Shanghai, how my family grew up, they all grew up within one roof. The grandparents, the kids, you grow up in the same house with your cousins and nephews, you know, and I think that's pretty cool. But then modern day, I think, you know, some could be very westernized. They go live on their own. But by and large, I think just like Europe also, you as a young person, don't really move out

until you get married. Okay. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you might be there for 30, 40 years? I mean, some of it is socioeconomics. You're just housing is incredibly expensive in Hong Kong. So you can't really afford your own place.

And then, yeah, when your parents get old, you take care of them, you know, whether it's visiting them often, moving in with them, buying them a house. Like, it's almost unfathomable to put your parents in, like, a home, you know. Like, that's crazy to us. And there's an innate responsibility to take care of them. Right. You know, I always joke that we're all born with a financial debt to our parents. We're all born with a student loan debt to our parents. And it's true.

And it makes me very happy to take care of them. Right. Have you guys had your siblings? Have you guys had a conversation if when mom and dad get older, who steps up to the plate and says, okay, I got them? No, they're still very, like, they're in the 70s, but they're all very spright. My dad swims every day. You know, they take care of the dog and they travel. So we haven't thought about that, but, yeah, I, I.

I mean, one of the goals I have, I set goals like every year. And it's always been like financial career goals. But now as I get older, you know, it's now personal goals. Yes. You know, I want to, you know, be closer to the family. I want to, you know, I took him to Macau. I took him to Hong Kong. Right.

I want to take more family vacations and stuff like that. And my brother, he's doing great, you know. And he really, sometimes he'll call me. Like, we don't talk too much. But he'll call me and be like, hey, If dad said this, maybe call him about it. You know, like, he's very nice about that. So we kind of keep each other in check about checking on the parents and stuff like that.

Coming to a... What do you think the biggest difference is in what you've seen because you've been both places and you've been going back and forth? What do you think the biggest difference is between American culture and Hong Kong culture? Oh, wow. So many. Like, where do I even start? I think living-wise, you get a little more space.

Okay. You know, you can freely have a house, a pet, whatever. You know, whereas Hong Kong, it's quite hard to have like a big dog in a small apartment. And culturally, I think we really reward creativity, especially early on in school. Right. You know, in the arts. That's why I think there's so many great musicians, comedians, actors, because you are encouraged to do that in America, especially if you have the talent. In Hong Kong, it's more

academic, you know, and schooling is very hard. I remember, like, I wasn't a straight-A student in Hong Kong at all, because it was just really, really hard. And then they rank you every year. I remember, like, number one is this guy. I was always, like, number 11, 12 in, like, a classroom or, like, 30, like, kind of like a B student, you know, because I was always drawing or, like, trying to do something different and creative. But that's not really encouraged or rewarded. Right. You know, because at the end of the day,

Hong Kong is a finance town. So you're encouraged to go work for Goldman Sachs when you graduate. Right. Or be a lawyer, doctor, stuff like that. But now I do see more and more creativity, you know, coming out or even, you know, creativity in the restaurant space, interior design, stuff like that. So, yeah, that's one big difference.

And then I also find dating to be very different. I never really dated in Asia, right? Right. But, you know, obviously there's westernized dating as well. But I find when I first came to America, okay, when I was in Hong Kong when I was a kid, I just imagine, okay, when I'm 18, I'll find a girlfriend, I'm 22, I'll just get married. Right. You know, probably just sleep with one, two of people, whatever, just get married, settled down. And then when I came to America, I was bombarded with MTV Spring Breaks.

Jay Z. Big Pimping. American pie. And then they were like, oh, even on the local news, it says the average age for American teenagers to lose their virginity, 16. I'm like, I'm 17. I'm a loser. You know, I haven't even talked to a girl. I never kissed a girl.

So I was trying to overcompensate. I'm like, oh, my God, how do I get laid? Like, getting laid is like so important in American culture. It wasn't like that. I don't think so. I mean, I'm sure there is that thought. Like, who doesn't want to get laid? Right.

we're all human beings. Right. But I think there is more of a slow courtship. Dating is less chaotic. Right. Here, you first and ask questions later. Right. You sleep with someone.

Maybe there's a situation ship and then you figure it out. Right. Right. Like, I think over there, like, if you're going to seriously date, you probably court someone, go out and, like, you know, hold some hands. Do you meet, like, in Asia, do you meet the parents? How soon do you meet the parents? Because people ain't.

trying to let you meet their parents early on. You might be, it might be six months, it might be a year, it might be a year and a half, two years before you meet someone's parents. How soon do you meet people's parents if you're in the Asian culture? Man, I, you might have to meet the parents first before you stick it in, you know? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think there's different people also have different pace. Okay. You know, I'm sure you can go to a club in Hong Kong and try to get laid. Right. Stans, whatever. I'm sure that exists. That exists. But I think by and large, dating culture is a little less chaotic. You date someone, you know, you talk about your intentions.

Maybe you even define boyfriend-girlfriend before you really jump into something physical. But once again, I am new to that culture, like coming back as an adult. So it's new to me, but I find it very refreshing. Right. You know, yeah. The dating, you're like, okay, I got a slow start. You know, I'm looking at, you know, how it is in Asia, and then I come to America. and then, you know, you see these statistics and how soon and the average age,

and you're like, okay, when you got to America and obviously there are Asians around, you probably grew up in an Asian community, but did you like, okay, this American culture, did you find like, okay, I hadn't seen a whole lot of white girls, and now I see a lot of them in that, you know what, and you mentioned your parents probably want you to, if you were to get mad, your parents are going to want you to probably marry an Asian. I think they would prefer that, but there's no pressure. Right. Yeah.

Do you, so you don't feel pressure. You're like, because, but I noticed this about in your community. You guys really don't want to upset your parents. You really, you, you guys, I mean, it is. Yeah. But sometimes that's hard because parents aren't always right. No, they're not. And I think, especially if you're creative, like, you sometimes need to challenge the authorities.

And I found that very difficult when I was younger, because you were taught whatever your parents say, are right. Mm-hmm. But I think there is probably some kind of. middle ground. You should respect your parents, but you should challenge some of their ideas because they're just human beings. Correct. And they're not. And it is your life. Yeah, it's your life. And especially they grew up. They have trauma too. Yeah. You know, and then they don't talk about mental health or anything, you know, and maybe you as a newer generation, you want to therapy and stuff like that. And then you want to communicate with them. But then I remember whenever I would try to

challenge my dad or like step. I'm like, wait, that's wrong. He was like, no, I'm your dad. Whatever I say is always right. And I have to challenge that. And I found that very difficult. Well, you probably had to be become an adult before you could do that. You probably couldn't do that before you became 18 or 21. Yeah, and I feel like, you know, my adulthood was a little stunted as well. Really? Because my parents were my parents. And I didn't really have my own thoughts and was, you know,

I was afraid to challenge their thoughts until I was probably like mid to late 20s, you know? Wow. Yeah. Help me understand this. Why do Asians live so long? I think diet is one thing. Yeah. You know, in Hong Kong, you have a variety of seafood and everything.

And then also, we don't eat like big chunky meals. No, you don't. Everything, it's like a little small, you know. Yeah, I mean, that's not. Variety. Yeah, I can't, I don't know how I could survive off that. But also genetics, you know. What do they say?

Black don't crack, Asian, don't raisin. You know, we all look quite young, you know, and it's just genetics. And yeah, I think maybe that's why, maybe that's why. Maybe that's the advantage of dating an Asian girl or black girl. Right. You know, like, if I date. You date, you date, I should know. I have dated.

What? Yeah, dude. God, date, Jimmy. Yeah, man, I dated everybody, man. Man, I used to have the hottest girl. I met her to Hooters. Oh, Lord. This is a black girl that, like, came in, like, second place Hooters bikini contest.

This black girl who's just beautiful. And I was kind of like a dorky kid, just like doing an open. mics, but somehow she liked me, you know, and then we started like hang out, going out a bit. And I remember I walked down the street and like, brothers will give me high fives. I'm like, I don't know, is that insulting? Like, are you saying? That means you got a winner. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And the brother give you high five, you got a winner. It was cool. Yeah, I felt good about myself. You know, I felt good about myself. But also, you know, I think, you know, growing up in Hong Kong, since you don't see a lot of, you know, white people and then in the movies, it's always like white people, white girls. Right. Like that's like, you know, when I first came into the country, I'm like, oh, man, if I can date a white girl, it seems like the prize. You know, so I think I was more attracted to white girls.

Well, I just, I was just trying to not date Asian girls. We just sound so stupid. Right. Right. For the longest time when I was trying to assimilate. Right. But now I'm way back on Asian girls. Asian girls are beautiful.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Someone speaks my language. They're respectful. Right. I mean, there's some crazy ones also. But I'm now back on. the Asian sisters. Yeah, I think the thing is, is that if I remember correctly, you guys date within

your race, marry within your race, one of the highest. I think Indian is the highest, but you guys are wide up like two or three. I think so. I think so. And now, I mean, when I was younger, I was just trying to date like a hot girl. It doesn't matter. I don't even know what I wanted. But now I get it, you know, culturally dating someone similar is very important.

or dating someone that also went through the same trauma that went through the same, had the same type of parents, you know, had the same type of discipline and respect. I think that's all very important. Do you guys have, you mentioned that you guys have a lot of American restaurants in Asia, Hong Kong and China. Like, do you guys have Panda Express in Hong Kong and China? No, I don't think so.

I don't think so either. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's all kinds of different. But you got like McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks. They should do that, though. They should do like an American Chinese food restaurant in China. No, they ain't going to go over there. That would be kind of funny.

I don't think they're going to let that happen, Jim. Yeah. I've never seen orange chicken growing up. Never, ever. Better barbecue. Asian barbecue? Oh. American barbecue.

Oh, I love American barbecue. I love Texas barbecue. But I got to give it up for Hong Kong barbecue. Come on, man. It's very different. We invented barbecue. Y'all didn't. I don't think so.

I don't think it's a different type of thing. All are a little older than we are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an older culture. But it's two different cuisines. Yeah. And I think, you know, I can enjoy both. Right.

I get it. You had a black roommate for six years. Yeah, Terrell. So what was that like? And it's all like, I mean, think about it now. This Asian guy, you came from Hong Kong, you assimilating here, you get out on your own and you're like a black roommate. That had to be like, how did that come about? I think it's just comedy.

It doesn't matter what you're racist. If you're funny, you're funny. You came up together, do open mics together. You're just two comedians. And I think, you know, within inside the comedy club, you see the most diverse, beautiful friendships. Yes. You know.

Yeah, and Terrell, he's from Detroit. He's 10 years older than me. Okay. We grew up not so similar, but at the same time, we're both pursuing the same thing. We're just worrying about how to get stage time or how to get girls or stuff like that. And it was fun, man.

I actually just went on the road with him. Right. And when I go on the road, I would say most, like half of my openers are black. Really? You know, I, funny is funny, man. Right. You know, and also I find black people and Asian people do have a lot in common. You know, what we talk about, the respect for elders.

Yes. And also, there's a general sense of not fitting in sometimes in America. And I think that's important. That's why I think black people gravitated towards kung fu movies. Asian people gravitate towards rap music because there is and like like a rebellious outsider point of view almost that this America is is white America and we're the outsiders looking and trying to fit in get a piece of this and I think I think there's a lot actually a lot of similarities what is what is the one thing that is

that living with a black guy for six years What did he teach you that you probably didn't know or you would not have known about black culture? And what do you think you taught him that he probably would have never guessed or understood about Asian culture? Wow. That's a great question, Unk. Because I think the thing is, Jimmy, it's like when you don't grow up around someone, you don't, I mean, because from the outside, you look, okay, this is how they are. And then you get in their presence and you're around this person every single day. you learned something that there ain't nothing like that. Yep, they like that.

Oh, man, I can't believe. It's like, because, like I said, I grew up in a small town, and there were not a whole, I didn't have any Asian. Like I said, I'm Luke Wilson.

He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory.

I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport.

Flagrant and Funny You look at the top four number one seeds What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four Obviously Yukon is the overwhelming favorite In this tournament

But I'll be honest I think people are kind of sleeping On Texas Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.

My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love.

For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.

Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, it's hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave? And then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's, like, definitely happening in the WBA.

And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man, you can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. And we're like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball?

Check out game recognition. nice game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I had one in kindergarten and that kindergarten. That was it. But after that, I didn't really have a whole lot. I went to an HBCU. There were not a whole lot of Asians in my hometown, and there were not a whole lot of Hispanics.

And so it was either black or white. And so that was what I assimilated with. And then, you know, you hear these, and you try to like figure out, okay, when you get out on your own, you get to choose your friends. Like, okay. what's what's this person like what do they like what's their culture like what do they like to do or how similar or how different are we man because you said something very interesting you say you know what blacks and asian have a lot more in common because the respect that they have for the elder

yeah respect is a big thing in the black community too i would say um i just wanted my buddy derrick's wedding and texer canon and it was like one of the most fun weddings because there's no stress all the family just came through and there was like just catering and everybody just danced a night away, you know, and and it's, it's very chill, but it's at the same time very family oriented. And I think that there's a lot of similarities in that. The family orientation of it. Man, I don't even know what I'm talking about here. Just cut this out. Man, but this is such a good question. I need to find an answer for this. What is something I learned? Well, you'll put it in your next special. Yeah. Huh. What is something?

I would say, maybe it's this. Like, in the beginning of the show, we talked about, you know, Tiro wasn't very good with money. Mm-hmm. You know? And you're saying tomorrow's not promised. Right. Growing up, I don't think I have the mentality.

Because there's safety in Hong Kong. Yes. You know, you don't ever think about, oh, I might not make it, you know. But I think for someone like Terrell who grew up not in the best neighborhood in Detroit, tomorrow is not promised. Right. People get killed. People go to jail, whatever, you know, bad stuff happens.

And you live life more in the moment. Mm-hmm. And you spend money more in the moment. Yes. And, you know, you have to live. every day like it's your last. Whereas I think for me growing up, I future cast a little bit.

I have a lot of anxiety about the future. I plan ahead a lot more because I never think that I'm not going to be around in 10 years. So maybe he teaches me to live in a moment a little more, and I teach him, you know, maybe... To project and think more about the future. Maybe save some money. Yeah.

Because I think the thing is that when you look at it, at it, you're like, if I knew I was going to live so long, I took better care of myself, and I saved a little more. Yeah. But because I didn't think I was going to be, live as long as I did. So growing up, you really didn't think you're going to live past whatever. Well, I think that, yeah, because longevity wasn't something, you know, my grandfather, my dad died at 39.

My grandfather, I've only had one uncle on my mom's side, reached the age of 70. I had an aunt died at 47. My dad brothers died in their late 40s, early 50s. So seeing death around me, I mean, I've outlived my grandfather. I've outlived, you know, two of my uncles. I lived three. I live my dad and two of his brothers. I've outlived them, and I'm 58.

Oh, wow. So, you know, you don't think about it. But as you get older, Jimmy, and you start to have kids, you start to, we were able, I think the thing that helped me is that I played a professional sport and I'd say did go with my money and I was able to have health insurance. Because back then, your family wouldn't burn you. So if they had an illness, they just died because they didn't want to put you in debt. Oh my God. Yeah, they're not putting you in debt like that.

Wow. I mean, if you think growing up that you're going to live till 40 or 39 or whatever, I would live my life. life very differently. You know, I'll go buy 10 cars right now and I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage. You're like, I get it. But, you know, I think there is a happy middle graph. Yes. You know, of living every day like real life, but also that doesn't mean you have to, you know, not think about the future. You mentioned that your friend in Detroit had to worry about a lot of different things. He had to worry about crime and there were situations. Was, was crime ever a problem in China or Hong Kong? Not at all. It's so safe. You can walk down. You can be a woman walking down

a dark alley in light. You're totally fine. Yeah. Because they don't play over there. You do something over there. You do something bad? Well, yeah. But also, it's just a culture thing. You know, people don't really commit crimes, you know, because I don't know what that is. Maybe it's school teaching, family staying together. I have no idea. But it's generally incredibly safe. Right. Yeah. How are your parents, as far as love, I mean, did they hug you? Did they say Jimmy, we love you?

Did they, I mean, so how was, that's not an Asian? Not at all. Yeah, we never say, I love you. They never, there's no physical touch. Really? I never seen my parents kiss each other. Yeah. Really?

Yeah, because I think that's not, you know, with the love language. Yes. I just don't think that's how they express. Right. But they always dare for each other. Like, now they're in the 70s, they might argue. Yeah. But my mom's always there to pick up my dad, you know, from the airport.

They always there for each other when they need something. They cook for each other every night. So I think it's more like an act of service type culture. Okay. And I find that difficult, too, you know, in my dating life when people's the I love you part. It's very hard for me to say, not that I don't love anyone. Right. I have trouble saying that, you know, I would rather make a meal for you.

That's how I show my love. Or like, I would rather, you know, give you a ride or like help you out with something. Help you build a piece of furniture. I don't know. So, yeah. That part is very different how people show their love and affection in Asia in here. It's funny that you say that. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen my grandparents kiss.

Ah. Mm-mm. I mean, the love is that you got food on your table, you got clothes on your back, you got a roof over your head. That's I love you. That's it, yeah. That's love. Yeah. I'm taking care of you.

Yeah. Not to say that I love you or not to give you a hug or anything like that. And because, like you said, I knew my grandparents loved me. I had food. I knew I had the best that they could afford to give me. Yeah. But this, I love you. I love you.

And come here and give you grandpa a hug. That ain't how I was raised. It's like old school also. It's a generational thing. Yes. And also, I do think that that's one thing like the mental health of it all. Like it doesn't hurt to say I love you or give your kids some credit. Yes.

And I think Asian people can do a better job of that. Right. Because, man, I remember when I first got on TV, you know, like just two lines here and there. My dad never said, good job, anything, you know, and I was just waiting for that. And it was when I first got on, I think, Arsenial Hall. It was my first talk show. Yeah. And then my friend, Julian, his mother, who was a schoolteacher, shout out to Melinda Weathersby, left me a voicemail saying, I saw you on this talk show and you were so eloquent.

You did a great job. Wow. And it was like a 50-second voice message that I still have on my phone. And it makes me emotional because nobody's ever said that to me, you know, weirdly. Right. And it was my friend's mother, who was a school teacher who I met twice, left me that voice message. Wow. And I still saved it on my phone.

And it's important. Do you think you received your dad's approval? I think so. Yeah, I think so. And they just, they don't say it, they don't show it. But sometimes it is nice. But you know he's proud of you. Yeah.

You want to hear it. You'd be like dad. Yeah. Your boy did good, didn't it? Yeah, true, true. I do, I think maybe Asian parents can do a better job of, there is unconditional love. Yes. There is.

They love me a lot, but they can do better with unconditional love, even if your kid doesn't make money or like doesn't have a great. like doesn't have a great career, you know, just be a little more encouraging instead of only measuring, you know. By success. Because everybody's not going to be Jamie Dow. I'm going to be the CEO of Goldman Sachs. Right. Or Chase or J.P. Morgan.

Everybody is not going to have something that, you know, your parents, because your parents, I think the thing is, parents like the globe. Look up my son. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so everybody's not, everybody, child is not going to have something that you can be proud of him. oh, he or she is successful. But I think sometimes we put so much pressure because if you're not a CEO, you're not a professional athlete, you're not X, Y, and Z. Like, well, no, he's not in, he or she is not in trouble.

They got a good paying job. It could be a great human being. Yes. Everybody admit to make $500 million, you know, and make a billion. Everybody admit to be Elon Musk or this. Yeah, and I think it can be just a little more encouraging. I think every Asian kid is dying for a hug. Every Asian kid is dying for that voice message that I got from Melinda. When you have kids, I think you're going to have to break a cycle and you're going to have to start a tradition that wasn't passed down to you.

Because probably your parents didn't get hugs or pats on the back or words of encouragement or affirmation. So you're going to have to be the first one in order to start that when you have a family and then pass that along and then your kids pass along and X, Y, and Z. Yeah, and that's how you wash away the generational trauma and grow from it. And I think to me, because I wanted that so bad, you know, I'll be particularly sensitive to that. I'll probably overhug my kid, you know, and over-encouraging. And then they're probably going to do drugs and become a netto baby, you know. Did you ever tell your dad? Did you ever ask your dad, dad, why you never told me you love me, dad?

Why you don't give me hugs? I know you're proud of me, but just telling me that you're proud of me. and to give me a hug and to say, Jimmy, you've done a great job. Have you ever asked your dad that? I don't know if I've asked him, but I think through my comedy, I was talking to him. Right. You know, because I make fun of him. I make fun of the trauma, whatever, but really I'm trying to say that to him sometimes, you know.

In a way that's funny. Yeah, and I think he gets it now. I think maybe my mom even talks to him, like, you know, and now they do say it. Now they do give it up, you know. They tell you they love you. I don't know if it's in so many words. Let's not get carried away, though. Yeah, but they are like, hey, that was a great show.

That was awesome. Oh, okay. It's a start. That was amazing. And I think my dad's overcompensating now. It's like, oh, my God, you're such a good actor. I just wanted to watch this movie. That guy sucks.

You're a way better actor than that guy, you know? So that feels pretty good. Okay. That feels all right. Yeah. What type of student were you in school? I was a good student. B plus B minus C?

I was a B student in Hong Kong, but then when I came to America, I was like, this is a layup. This is so easy. Oh, you turned it to an A student. A super A student. Honor rule. Dang. Four point something GPA. You know, it was because, like, math here is a joke.

Okay. Like, I wasn't in any genius classes. Like, people are, like, Asian people are good at math. No, Americans are just horrible in math. All right? Because I was in Asia, when I was in, when I was in Hong Kong, 12, 13 years old, I was already. I was already geometry, algebra. I learned all of that stuff already.

And then when I came here in eighth grade, they were still learning basic math and whatever. And then my dad had talked to the principal and was like, hey, man, he learned all this. Can you put him in whatever the top magnet classes, right? And then the principal was like, okay, our best class was algebra. Have you learned that?

And I kind of lied to him. I'm like, no, I never learned it. But I learned two years ago. And then I would just ace it. I would just ace in it. I mean, it was so easy. It's just, come on. I read you almost lost your Asian card after getting a 2.7.

Oh, that's a joke. I became a really bad student in college. That's actually not a joke. In college, I did have a 2.7 GPA because I want to do music. I was making beats, right? So I started taking minor classes in music. I took some minor classes in theater. Like, I think I was so blocked.

I was like being a creative is not possible because of my upbringing. Right. You know, but I'm such a creative. I would be at dinner and, like, mess with my chopsticks and, built like a little tower or like mess with my food and like make something. And I think what got me going was like making beats, creating something and then creating a joke later on. But I never allow myself to believe that. That's why I was just like here and there taking some minor classes.

Those are the classes that are A's in. Right. But then all my classes in economics class, you know, engineering class, I never even went a class. I was not interested. And I'll just show up. I'll cram, you know, right before the midterm, right before the finals. Yeah. And I'll show up.

I'll get a C, you know, and get by and graduate. But I literally, I got a 2.7 GPA in UCSD. It was terrible just because I wasn't interested. Well, you hyper as a kid. Did your parents ever say, Jimmy, calm down? Because it seemed like you're at the dinner table and you're building towel with chopsticks and you seem like you have a very creative mind.

And sometimes when you have a creative mind, parents don't understand that. Parents want you to sit there just like, I mean, you're asking a five-year-old or an eight-year-old or 10-year-old to just sit there and have the same demeanor as someone that's in their 20s and 30s. You were a child that's mind is just racing. You just sit like, I can do this.

I want to do all of this. And your parents are like, baby, where do we go wrong? No, they were fairly encouraging. My mom would be like, don't be so messy when you eat. But I was in art classes. I was in violin classes in Hong Kong. But that's more like academic art. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I didn't love it, but I excelled at it. Right. You know, and my dad was always very proud. I scored a very high score in this violin test. But it's like, violence shouldn't be measured in a score, art should be measured by a score. But, you know, I think it's not them. I think for Asian parents, they were fairly encouraging. I think it's the culture of it.

Growing up in Hong Kong, yeah, making arts is probably unlikely. You know, it's probably a bad idea. You probably wouldn't be able to afford housing. Like, you know, so I don't blame them. But I think for creative people, like, I can excel at something and I really can put so much energy and time into something if I'm interested. Well, once I'm disinterested, I will be an F student. Yeah, yeah. Jimmy is your American name.

What is your Chinese name? Man Singh. That means 10,000 success. Wow. They gave you the right name. Thanks. 10,000 success. Yeah.

How do you come up with Jimmy? They just, it's Jimmy. Because everybody in Hong Kong, you need an English name. Oh. And they just name it anything, you know. Like, my brother was Roger. I think he was named after Roger Moore, the James Bond. Yeah.

And then he was like, it sounds like an old white guy. So he changed his own name to Roy. So now he sounds like an old black dude. He's just Roy Rogers, you know. And then my dad is really. I was like, why did you name yourself Richard? He's like, because I want to be rich. So it's like sometimes as simple as that.

Or there's Asian people named Jackson. Right. Really? They love Michael Jackson. A lot of people in Hong Kong, their first names are American people's last names. Like I know a lot of Johnsons. Their first name, Johnson Lee. You know?

Really? Yeah. So in Asia, you have two names. You have a Chinese, Mandarin or Cantonese or names? name and then you have an American name. Yeah. And then American name is more like a nickname. Yeah.

Jimmy wasn't on any of my IDs or anything. Right. Until I came to America and I put it as my middle name. Yeah. But I was just like, yeah, just call me Jimmy. So when the teachers call Roe in America, you know, they're like, man, they always messed up your name and you're showing bad. Man sing, oh.

And I'm like, just call me Jimmy. Just say Jimmy. Just call me Jimmy. Jimmy here. Yeah. When did you know you were funny? When did you get your voice in comedy? I think I was always kind of funny.

My dad was very funny. Always loud, fun at the dinner table. And I wouldn't say I wouldn't say I was like the class clown, but I was always, you know, funny amongst my friends. Yes. But then when I came to America, I really had to be funny. I was such a small kid, nerdy, Asian kid. I would have totally gotten bullied, but I can talk.

You know, right when I learned a little bit of English, I can talk and I was kind of funny, and I think people appreciated that. And I avoided bullying because of that. So I think funny was part of how I assimilated, you know, and how I fought for myself was with my voice. That happens a lot because a lot of times that when you're funny, people are trying to make fun of you, that you start making fun of somebody else or you make people laugh. They forget that they're like, oh, we were just talking about him.

But we're laughing. We don't forget, we don't forgot all about him and we're just laughing at what you said. So that was your way. of ingratiating yourself and keep them getting picked on and keep them getting made fun at, is that to make other people laugh and they forget they were supposed to be talking about me. That's right, wow, yeah, yeah.

And you build up these defense mechanisms, and I think that was one of them. And for how small I was, I was fairly athletic. People couldn't believe I jumped up to catch a football. You know, I didn't know what football was until I was 13. I didn't know what, never heard of Super Bowl, you know. And then, you know, I try to be. I'm Luke Wilson.

Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind, and now I've got my own show. So if you're tired of lazy takes, if you want honest conversations, join us each week. Film Never Lies, available on all TSN platforms in the IHeart Radio app. Why hasn't a woman formerly participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.

And how did a 2023 event called Wag Agetten change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track, and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Marsh Madness is here, and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, UConn is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas.

Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything, it really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the big. biggest moments, the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to Flacring and Funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars, and now I guess also as the co-host of the Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids.

My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years

since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's up? I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on. and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave,

and then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man, you can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever.

And of course, family stories. And we're like, mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But at sports, I try to, you know, be good at humor. Yes. Because getting good grades, you're still going to get bullied.

Yeah. You know, be good at sports. Because everybody get good grades in Asia. For the most part. Yeah, yeah. Because in that culture, grades are everything. It's like sometimes in America, if you're good at sports, but there is the opposite. They want you to get outstanding grades.

Which I don't think is the ideal thing for a kid. Right. You get graded on everything and everything comes down to a score. Right. I think it's more important to be more well-rounded. Like, you know, even getting into colleges here, the good colleges, they don't just look at your grades. No. They look at the extracurricular.

They look at the sports, the community service. Yep. Yeah. Absolutely. It was funny, though. I remember senior year at high school, I wasn't on any sports team or anything like that. And then they were like, you have to do community service. I'm like, why?

I'm just forcing myself to do community service just so I can get into college. It's like tricking someone. It's a very weird concept. The Arsenio Hall Show. How did you get on the Arsenio Hall Show? Man, I think somebody dropped out and they needed a comedian last minute. And then they called me. They're like, can you do Arsenio on a Thursday?

and it was a Wednesday. And I was like, absolutely, let's do it. And I've been grinding on like open mics, Springer shows, just different shows. And I was in San Diego for years. So I was ready. And I was so nervous. I did, I think you're only supposed to do like seven minutes.

And I did like 12 minutes. And I got a standing ovation. And it was my very first ever standing ovation. It was on TV. And Arsenia was so nice. I mean, he's one of my heroes. And backstage, he was like, this is the last time you ever going to talk to me.

You're going to be great after this. And that was a really, really nice moment. And I'm like, no, come on, Arsenio. I'll come back on the show anytime. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. And then the next Monday, he got canceled. Really? Yeah, I guess.

Damn, you messed the man's show. Yeah, I know, man. I screwed him up, man. Yeah, he got canceled. Yeah, it was, I mean, everybody wanted to be on Artini Hall show. You were in the movie, excuse me, you were in the movie at Patriots Day with Mark Wahlberg, Me, Time, with Kevin Hart, opening at with St. the entertainer.

Very different. Obviously, Kev and Said are comedians. Mark Wahlberg started his career out as a rapper, model. I mean, what was it like being on the set with those guys?

It's awesome. Like, I'm still, I pinch myself. You know, I was in Space Force with Steve Corrin and John Malcovic. Sometimes when they're doing a scene, I'm just like, oh shit, I'm actually in this with them. You know, it's unbelievable.

And I think that's the coolest part. Seeing you, this is unbelievable. This is really awesome. I'm a huge fan. Thank you. I appreciate it. But then, like, we get to chat and I get to be on this show. So, you know, I don't ever want that to go away.

You know, I still want to be fans of people. Yes. So that's really cool. And I think for me, what gets me excited is I get to do different things. When I was doing stand-up, I want to act. When I'm acting in comedy, I want to do more dramas. And then once that's done, I want to do my stand-up show where I pop up on stage. nobody's ever done that and instead of just going to easy route put it on Netflix I want to put it in the movie theater yeah I always want to do something different that's what gets me

okay you know I'm sure I can make more money if I just keep doing the same thing right but it's not exciting for me you know I might as well go work in finance then you know what role haven't you done that you'd like to do um huh that's a good question I want to die in something without people laughing like I want to like I want to die in the, like, get shot or like in a fight or like fall off a building, but it's not funny. Right. You know? It's like, well, damn, that didn't last long, Jimmy. Well, don't do a horror movie because you know Asians and blacks, we go out first. So don't do the horror movies.

Open the credit, damn, Jimmy goes. I would love to do like, you know, like a real film, like Scorsese, like a Tarantino, like gangster film. Oh, oh. Really cool. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Is there any roles that you turn down, do you like, damn? Probably should have went with that one.

Mm, man. There's some indies and stuff, I think. I would have like, oh, okay. But I wish I would have been less obsessed about being an actor and focus on comedy more. Because I think there was always a thought of, oh, stand-up the next step, you know, the Annie Murphy route, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Movies or like Robin Williams, you know, and I was obsessed with that. But now I can actually be very honest with myself, I'm a stand-up.

Stand-up is so much more fun. It speaks to me. It's live. It's beautiful. It's a sprint every day. And if you're not good today, be better tomorrow. Yeah. Whereas acting, it's a marathon, and it's such a different muscle.

It's almost masochistic. It's almost self-torture sometimes. And it takes six months, and then you don't even get the audience reaction. So partly it was like my ego, and I want to do something different. I want to act. But now it would take a very special project for me to accept or working with friends or stuff like that. But I am very proud to have reached this, finally reached this thing where I'm like, I'm a very good stand-up comedian. And I want to keep doing that.

Yeah, I think the thing is that you mentioned something very important. You say the instant crowd reaction, that's what you get in stand up. In the movies, you don't know. You're like, this line, I think this line is going to be good. But you don't know because it's not instant. You have to go to the movies. It's like, man, I saw you in there. Man, that such and such was really, really funny.

I used to get so stressed, man. When I first started acting, I mean, I didn't have that much experience, right? So I was just really worried. I remember I shot at an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I'm a big fan, Danny DeVito and all the guys, right? and Caitlin. And I was just so nervous, and I stressed out. I lost sleep after that because I'm like, did I do well?

They told me I did well. Right, right. But how do I know? Yes. And then I had to wait like six to nine months for the show to come out, and I lost a lot of sleep in that six to nine months. It's a weird art to operate it. Because the movie is what's so hectic about it is that you hurry up and wait.

Uh-huh, yeah. That's like, okay, get to the Senate, at five, your first thing's not till 10. Could you not, could you, could you, could you, let me get here at 8, 39 o'clock? Yeah, and it's, it's, it's so long, like, those days are long. Oh my God, like 12-hour days are like normal. Yeah. Oh, if you work in Asia and China, it's like 20-hour days, you know, they don't have like SAG union rules necessarily. So it's a grind everywhere, like in acting around the world. That's why I think a lot true actors, they still prefer theater.

Yes. And I think stand-up is my theater. Yes. You know, because I do think shooting movie, TV show is an incredibly exhausting, arduous, and inefficient process. I would say on Patriots Day, Peter Burke kind of cracked the coat. He needs to be an actor. So there's a very actor-friendly director,

awesome director. And he would just have camera guys, who wouldn't mess with the lighting, shoots practical, shoulder cameras, just like shoot it, and then you just act it out. He wouldn't give you any marks or anything and it shoots fast and it was very exciting to do that oh you like it like yeah uh in love hard you catfish the woman have you ever been catfish in real life um i guess lightly you know not like full on right catfish but you know the goods don't match the pitcher yeah and then i just leave i mean i don't leave i still would sit down have dinner right

i guess you do a dating apps are you a dating app uh i have i have a dating app i have done dating apps, but I find that very, eh, it's something about meeting that person in person. At the gym or at Starbucks or wherever the case may be, there's something organic and holistic. Yes. And also, when you're on a dating app, you're out with a person that you met on a dating app, you know you got 10 more matches at home. Yeah. She got 10 more matches. So any little crack, any little thing that doesn't work, you have too many options. Like, you want to meet someone that Like, it's fate, right? Yes.

I want to meet a girl that is so disgusted by men, but somehow puts up with me. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? Yes, yes, yes. They don't even got like 10 roster options or like whatever, but like we met somewhere at a restaurant and now we're talking. Yes. I like that. Yes.

Because I think that maybe that's the problem. That's what's happened. That's what social media has done. It's allowed us to have too many options. Yeah. You remember when you, you know, you 19, 20. There was no social media, and you didn't know what the girls looked like in California, unless you lived in California. You don't know.

Now you just screw. You're like, damn, Miami got it going on. Oh, Minnesota, New York, Houston, Dallas, damn. Right. It's such a blessing. And a curse. And a curse because it's never enough. No.

Like now we're famous. We're like, maybe if I DM this girl, she'll reply back. And this is the hottest girl I've ever seen. Yes. And then it's hard to then settle down, but then at some point you've got to be like, this is not real. Real. And then also you meet enough of these people that you think is super hot. They might also be super hot in real life, but there's, it's odd.

It's not right. Yeah. It's kind of like a buffet. It's just too much. Yeah. It's just too much. And you just like, let me go to the restaurant. Let me just order one or two things and I'll be satisfied.

But when you got an option, 50. You can't. Be like Costco. They give you two options. Yeah. That's why they do so much business. Yes. And then you get decision paralysis and people don't know how to settle down.

Unless you got, hopefully you got a family of 15 because when you get 10 pounds of mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard with 100 hot dogs. And also, if you only have one hot dog. Yes. A year, that hot dog is going to taste pretty good. Yes. If you have an option of hot dogs every day. Yeah. I don't know why we're using hot dogs.

Yes. You know, but, you know, it's too much. And I think we all got to pull back a little bit. And I don't know. Like for me in the dating thing, it's important for me to know what I want for myself. Because if you don't know that. So you know exactly what you're looking for? I'm getting better at that, you know.

I have a list of stuff. But then also sometimes it's fate. You can have a whole list of like, this is what you want in a wife. And somebody checks all that. But then you don't really have fun with that person. Yeah. You know? Or you have fun with someone that like brings out the inner child in you.

But then she don't check any of the boxes. Yes. So. Then what do you do? That's why I'm not married. That's why I'm single. What do you do? You're right.

You're absolutely right, Jimmy. Would you date someone taller than you? Of course. Yeah. Everyone's taller than me. My options would be really limited. So I don't have a dating app. I've never been on a dating app.

So what do you? You set up a profile. Okay. You use your real name? You don't have a dating. You don't have a dating. You don't know. I somehow don't believe that.

No. So, okay, you use your real name. You're Jimmy O. Yeah, sure. Okay. You're five this and you blah, blah, blah, you got this kind of do. And your match, you want someone between the heights of, say, five, seven and five, what, five, five, and five, eight? I think they have apps like that way you can put in details.

Yeah. I don't think. You don't put it. You don't put it. Okay. I don't care. I mean, you know, a person's a person. Right.

Yeah. You've attracted. You're fine. You put down the education. I don't want somebody to have at least a bachelor's degree, you know, master's wouldn't be disappointed. Doctors, okay, you're really appealing to me. I don't think that way, but I do, I just want to have a good conversation.

You're going to be a college dropout, never graduated high school, and be one of the smartest people. Right. And we have great conversation. But I do find that very important. If it's someone, you know, I can't have a conversation with, then it's done. You know what, Jimmy, what I've never, I don't think I've ever seen. and you can I mean, this is your

this is in your background Asian men date women with kids Oh Huh Interesting Yeah You might be right

I don't think I've ever I don't like I said I mean I don't know if I've ever I don't know if I've ever heard of it I'm not saying it doesn't happen I'm sure it's happened somewhere Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Or maybe unless like the

guy also has kids, like their second marriage or something like that. Right. But yeah, I mean, I mean, this is just speaking for myself. Yes. I would, like, I think maybe we really care about, you know, our name and our blood being passed down. Right. So to me, I always thought it's really awesome when people adopt kids and take care of

other people's kids and things like that. But for me, I think I want my own kids. You want your own bloodline. Yeah, and I think maybe that's a very old school. Asian thing maybe. But yeah. When you dated, did you ever bring, like when you dated someone outside of your race, did you ever bring them home to meet your parents?

Oh, yeah. I'm not precious about meeting my parents. I almost want my mom to give me some opinions, you know. Damn, Jimmy, I mean, off the real, you got to let them wait, you got to build up. That's not a thing that you're right. You're right. But sometimes it's like my parents are picking up something to my house and the girls there. Oh, Jimmy, you can't let that happen.

Really? No. Oh, man, okay. You got my mom, my parents are coming over. You got to leave. Oh, see, I'm really bad at telling you. Because now she thinks she's special. She's meet your mom and dad.

Oh, is that right? Yes. Yeah. Everybody don't get to beat mom and dad. You're right. Didn't they come back? Jimmy, where's the nice young lady that we met last week? Oh, mom, she.

My mom stopped asking. You know what? But, yeah, you're right, huh? Because it'll send the wrong signal. Yes. You're really serious. When you meet someone's parents, you're serious. They're serious about you and you're serious about them.

Man, I'm giving people like false hope. Yeah, Jimmy. Yeah, yeah. You're right. You're right. Because sometimes I want my dad and my mom's opinion because sometimes you don't know. Like you've been hanging out with this girl. You want her to meet your friends first.

Yes. What if your friends are like, yo, you're blinded by this. She sucks. Yeah. And then sometimes I want my mom to tell me that too. Or what if you, what if you with your friends, like, hey, Jimmy, let me take you. Man, I went out with her last week. That hasn't happened, or maybe they haven't told me that.

But it has happened when they're like, like, I was super super into this girl. And then like, you know, and then my friends, like, met her. I was like, are you sure about this one? Like, ain't nothing wrong. Like, ain't nothing wrong with it. But I want my friends to tell me that. Right. Sometimes I'm mad.

I'm saying a bad relationship or something. I'm like, and then after a break up, I'm like, why didn't you tell me this earlier? Like, I go to my friends, you know. That's true. Let me ask you this. Because you are, your family means so much to you. If your family didn't approve of someone, but you were madly in love with them, what do you do? I would like to think that my parents are so desperate for a grandkids.

Anybody. And they're going to co-sign everybody. Anybody is okay at this point. You know, they just want, like my mom, she's an old. old school seven-year Chinese woman. Yeah. She was like, you know, you don't have to get married, just have some babies.

I'm like, that is crazy. No, that's not the Asian way. Yeah, nah, nah, nah. But yeah, man, I think you just want grandkids. But you, but you're planning your, you know, path. Yeah. I want to get married and I want to have kids. Yeah, I'm giving myself two years.

Two years? Yeah. I think you got to set some kind of a time. You do? Otherwise, you know, you're getting in trouble. Yeah. Yeah. What about a, could you date? Is it very, is it common that in the Asian community that the woman makes more than the man? Um, I don't think it's common, but it could happen. I don't mind.

Your wife made more to you? Let me retire, man. Yeah. It's fine. Why work this hard? I'm okay gardening in my house, raising some kids. It's fine. I work too hard. Are you a private? Do you dating private? Do you date in private? or do you date in public? I think I date in private. I just don't think people care about me enough to put me on blast. I would say whenever I was in Hong Kong, if I go, like, it's like my team, it's like, don't go out, like, don't get, be seen with like a lot of girls. Right.

Because now in Hong Kong, I'm like Taylor Swift in Hong Kong and like there's paparazzi. Right. You know, and like I'll get snapped with a pitcher with even like a friend of mine or Like something and people are like, oh, who's that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, but here in America, I don't think people are as nosy about me.

So I think I'm okay. So where are you on like, okay, you're with this person and y'all got all these posts up on and you guys break up and then all of a sudden you don't say anything, but all of a sudden she's deleting post and you're deleting posts. And then everybody's like, well, what happened? Not everybody knows your situation. Yeah. You leave it up or do you like? No, I delete my stuff. You do?

Yeah. Why do you put it up? Why did I put it up in the first place? Yeah. Well, because, I mean, you thought it was going to work out maybe, you know, or sometimes it's like a comfort thing.

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age?

What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap,

scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. March Madness is here, and if you're trying to, to keep up with everything happening on and off the court. We've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds.

What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon. and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything.

It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you.

I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars, and now I guess also as the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist,

and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2020. For us, soccer. Football is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.

Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up?

I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game, has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think, on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave?

And then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's, like, definitely happening in the WBA. And, yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to their side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And, of course, family stories.

They'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized game with Stoian Miles on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. It comforts them to, assures that your partner. Yeah, that you're not trying to hide her. Yeah, exactly.

But yeah, I, ever since my last long-term relationship, I've been more careful about that. Because even now, sometimes, like, people, like, I talk to girls. They're like, I thought you were married. Are you still married? I was never married. I was a comedian-serial relationship. Yeah, I just never, like, you know, announced the break. up, like, whatever. I just delete the pictures. I thought people would get the hint. And then I'm like,

maybe this, this messed up my game, man. Maybe I should have, I should have had an announcement, you know, but then in my new stand, also my last stand-of-special, I talk about the relationship. Yeah. In this new stand-a special, I do say, like, and that's how I became single. Like, there's a thing about that. So I think people will get it now. Do you party's friends or enemies? It depends. I wouldn't say enemies. I would like to not think, I would like to not think. I would like to part on good terms. Jimmy, don't ever call me again.

You gross me out. You make me sick. I hate you. That's maybe happened once. And it sucks. I don't want that. Because a relationship, I find it very weird.

With friendship, you might fall out slowly. Yes. But you still talk to each other. Correct. And rarely do fall out in a friendship. Correct. In a family, you talk to forever, right?

But in a relationship, you can be talking to someone every single day for years. And then one day, you guys become strangers again. That's very heartbreaking to me, even just on a human level. I'm like, why don't we at least state

some kind of friends? Because I think the thing is it's easy to grow apart and grow together. Yeah, yeah. It's just so sudden because this is literally, you sleep with this person,

you hang out this person for years. This is your closest person. And then boom, it's got. Yeah. That's tough. But you've got to work to stay together, you hear me. It's so easy now

to just say, epic. Because guess what? You got options. That's the thing. Back when they didn't have the options that they have now. And there's a part of the brain that's like there's something better. That's the part. She looks better.

She has a better body. She has a better job. X, Y, and Z. And then, oh, she said one thing that you didn't like and then all of a sudden is beyond repair. I know. That's the part that I think all men got to be better about. because there's always something better. And then after you're in a relationship for a year or two,

of course, like the sex is not as exciting, you know. I don't know who told you that, Jimmy. You're looking, what, what? No, no, he's saying, no. But, you know, like, you start looking elsewhere, but then it becomes a cycle, and you're never going to, you're never going to be satisfied. So, I don't know.

Right now, I think I'm, I'm going to. You're in a good place? I'm in a good place, I think, you know. And I want to, I want to take things slow. maybe like the more the Asian way that we're talking about. Yes. Yes. And that sets you up to get hurt, you know, also. Oh, yeah.

But at the same time. Because you invested a lot of time. Yeah. A lot of energy. You do it all. Because you're taking it step by step. You're doing it very, very methodical. This is not a speed dating situation.

Right. You're like, I'm taking my time because I see a future with this. And then when that doesn't work out, man, your heart is not right, dude. Especially, especially if you're not the one that, wants to end it. It doesn't hurt as bad if you're the one that wants to end it. Yeah, true. But if somebody wants to end it and you're not ready for it to end, yeah. Man, you know, I was just, I mean, now we're getting deep. Like, like, I was just talking about this. I, I have always been the one breaking up with someone else. And I think there's

some kind of avoidance or something with that. And then my only real heartbreak that that someone broke my heart is from things that didn't come to fruition. Right. That didn't happen. So maybe because I go after unavailable people or something like that. So I'm trying to address all that. Right. And, you know, find like a real girl I can settle down with.

I'm trying to date seriously. Right. But old habits die hard. They do. You know? Give me to my rush more comedians. Wow. For me?

Yes. See, I don't want nobody to get offended. This is just for- That's your opinion. This is for me. Right. Who influenced me the most? Who made me laugh the most?

Chappelle, Cat, Yep. Chris Rock. Yep. And I got to put George Lopez in there. Okay. Yeah. How was it when you met Chappelle?

Oh, wow. It was, I mean, I don't think he understands how impactful that meeting was. I was at the Netflix as a joke party. It's the greatest party. It was a couple of years ago, right? Yeah. For the stand-up comedians, because you go to Tessorandum. those house, just as front lawn can fit like a thousand people.

Wow. And this is like the who's who of common. Chappelle's there, Rock, is there? Anybody you can think of John Stewart, you know, every comedian is there. It's just insane, right? And I saw Chappelle there, but he's so my hero. I have never talked to him. And I was really nervous.

And I was chatting with John Stewart a little bit. And the party started dying down. There was maybe four of us left. It was like, Tetz Randos, Burke Kreischer, John Stewart, and Chappelle. And I was just going to say my goodbye. Stewart was sitting next to Chappelle. I was like, this is my chance. I'm going to say bye to John.

And then maybe I'll say hi and buy to Chappelle. You don't manage my expectations. And then I was like, hey, John, great talking to you, man. I got to go. And then Chappelle is there. And I was like, okay, hey, Dave, I just want to say, you're such an inspiration. You're my hero. I didn't get all the words out.

And he was like, yeah, I know who you are, man. Yeah, I watched some of your stuff. You're doing great. And then I just like malfunctioned. You glitched. Yeah, and then I try to act cool. And like, we were actually just like joking for like 10, 15 minutes. Wow.

Yeah, it was so cool. And then I got my car and I drove and I started crying. I was like, I can't believe Chappelle knows who I am. I couldn't believe it. This is my hero growing up. You did a, you recently went back home to Kong Kong. We talked about this early. and you call the special is finally home.

Yeah. It was something I set off the cuff in the special. I was like, I felt like I'm finally home. And I got quite emotional in that part. And it was a very, this is a very important special for me because it's shot by the people in Hong Kong. I performed it in Hong Kong. And it's 90% in English with some Cantonese mixed in.

At first I was going to make a long version. Yeah. 90 minutes, 30 minutes, Cantonese, whatever. And then a short version of. for the American audience, but then I'm like, no, it's actually important to make just one version. Right. And let people can learn about, you know, Cantonese, Hong Kong, just like I learn about Spanish culture from George Lopez.

Correct. And I just want to make it a very special, special, because so many specials aren't special anymore. Right. It's just a dude built another hour, and he's talking about the same shit. And I wanted this to be so different. This is kind of like a rock and roll film, you know. And there's so many elements, and it's just really meaningful for me, hopefully

for the people of Hong Kong and just globally. And at the end of the day, it's not just for Asian people, not just for people in Hong Kong, because the themes are very universal. It's about going home. It's about, you know, family, and it's about meeting a heroes, things like that. So I just wanted to, like, of course it's still funny,

but I wanted to have a little more storytelling and a little solid emotional core. So I want people to see in the theaters. I read the tickets were a hundred times harder to get your tickets than it was Lady Gaga's in Hong Kong. And Scapples was marking them up 140%. Yeah, yeah, that's true. I really didn't expect that reaction. And I was super happy.

But at the same time, it's a new level of stress I've never experienced. Because I want all my fans to be happy. And then when they can't get tickets, are they buying 10 times more expensive tickets, then I don't know what to do. I get sad. You know, I want to serve them. And I even did this thing where it's like, I'm adding a fifth show, but you guys can sign on my email list and then get a link so make sure scalpers don't get it.

Right. You know, and then we're trying to fight all the bots with the scalpers. But it's a tough situation, and it's a good problem. But at the end of the day, I never expected my comedy to be that big, you know. And I want to give them a big show, but that comes with a certain amount of stress for sure. And sometimes, you know, now I do arenas in some. market, it's like 10,000 people, 12,000 people. But I do find stand up to be the most fun. The sweet spot is about a 2,000 people. Yeah, I was about to say that because I hear people say,

look, the arenas is fine, stadiums, great, because you have a lower fan base. But when you do arenas and you do stadiums, the intimacy isn't there. Yeah, yeah. You can still find it. It's a performance, now. It becomes a different thing and that's why I got fireworks. That's why I pop up. I want to give them something special. Somebody drove to an arena to watch me, right? But it's a more bigger scale thing. Right. And of course there's still stand-up comedy, but it's not as fun, as intimate as a smaller theater. Yeah. After the comedy special, you said you're going to done air and in theater. You're going to put it on YouTube. Why? I don't know yet. We'll see. It's going to come on theaters and then we'll see what I do with it after.

The cool thing about this is I own 100% of it. Yes. Yeah, I shot it, I edited it. I pay my producers, my editors, I license the music myself. And I think that's important. That's what's going to be really important, especially in the upcoming years. Yes. With how technology is coming through entertainment.

So we'll see what I do with it, how the reception is in the theater. So far so good. Right. It's coming out March 20th in Hong Kong, March 20th. 27th in US and Canada. Okay. And we have the same distributor as Taylor Swift's movie. Wow.

Yeah, so it's pretty cool, man. I just, I never thought. And I'm the first Asian comedian to have a movie in the theaters. Wow. Yeah. Did you think about releasing them on Amazon or YouTube or it was always, okay, we're going to release this in theaters? So my first two special I did with Amazon, great partners.

And then this one, actually, as I was editing the special, we got a deal from Netflix. But I think they want me to, like, shoot another one in a different city in that Netflix spec. Right. Right. And I love Netflix. But then I'm like, this is too special and too close to my heart. Right. People need to see this.

There's just so many elements in this special I cannot recreate anywhere else. I don't care if it's Radio City. Right. I just cannot recreate this. Correct. There's something emotional about this, you know. So I think my next one I'll do it with Netflix will revisit that deal. Right.

Money's got to be right, you know. Ted, Ted, Robbie, the money's got to be right. No, yeah, so I think the next one, you know, hopefully I'll do it on Netflix. And this one, I just want to do something different. Right. Representation. You spoke to this earlier, is that you don't feel in some situation there's enough representation. Yep.

And the film industry. How do we go about and do have representation? I think talking about it is important, but at the end of the day, it can't be forced, right? I think it has to come from talent. It has to come from enough Asian kids thinking this is possible. Right. And that's by me or anyone showing them that it is possible, doing crazy rich Asians, that movie being actually successful. The product has to be good.

Yes. You have to make money. Yes. Whatever show you write, whatever stand-up special, it has to be good. Right. People ain't going to fight for representation for representation's sake. People's going to fight for representation when there's box office numbers, when the Netflix show is getting viewership, when K-pop demon hunters winning everything.

That's when representation matters. But it really, just like any thing in the arts, it has to be good. Right. Yeah. Are there any Asian stereotypes that just irks you is like, we're nothing like that. That is so outlandish. I'm just so over you guys. Yeah, yeah.

The small dick. I hate that. First of all, not true. First of all, not true. I did this joke in my first special. I found it insulting, like, say I hook up with a girl. Yeah. He was like, oh, my God, the stereotype's not true.

You don't have a small penis. And then I was like, thank you. But you just insulted my entire race of people. Yeah. But thank you. And also, like, what do you want? You want a fortune cookie or something? You know what kind of, you know?

Like, what kind of, you know? But not true. Right. Yeah. Rush Hour. Mm. What are your thoughts in Rush Hour movie coming out with the content disclaimer? Do you have a content disclaimer on your comedy?

I don't think so. Yeah. Well, maybe I should think about one. Probably, yeah. Oh, yeah. I saw it on TV on like a TV thing. And then they're like, this is now old stereotypes. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, neither here. I thought it's funny. But I thought it's a great movie. Like when you watch a movie and I think, People are trying to get away from that now. I mean, movie studios and directors and producers and all those are trying to get away from that.

But when you go back and you look at it, and there used to be a lot, like in 70s, 80s, movies, there are a lot of stereotypes. When you look at old movies, like, I think this movie would have still been just as funny had we not had the stereotypes. Or do you think sometimes, like, because I go back and look at old sitcoms, like Archie Bunker and the show. And the things they would say, ain't no way in hell you could say that now. Right, right, right. But I think comedy evolves. Yes. And comedy lives in that time, and you've got to watch that for what it is.

Right, okay. Rush hour, if those jokes came out today, it just might not resonate with people. But at that time, it resonated. Yes. When I was watching Comic View, those jokes might not work now, you know, but it evolves. And whatever new jokes, new funny stuff is built upon those old jokes. I don't think we should like delete it, forget it. You know, I think there's a place in time for everything.

Where are you on when non-Asians play Asians in your culture? Yeah, that kind of sucks, right? Because we already don't have a lot of roles. Right. And then, you know. You couldn't find one Asian. Yeah, come on, man. You play Gingas, Carl.

You could find one famous, you could find one Asian. Like back in the day, they had a Swedish dude. like tape up his eyes. Oh, I'm not good. You know, like shit like that. Like Charlie Chan, I think he was like, he was a white dude. Yeah. Taped up his eyes.

You know, so I think at least, I think studios are aware of that. Right. They don't do that. Hopefully. Last couple questions. Have you asked your parents, mom, dad, why do you think you guys have been married so long? Um, yeah. I don't think I've asked them, but I've observed.

I mean, I don't, like I said, it's not like to kiss each other every day. They argue all the time. That might be the key. Yeah, but it works because it doesn't matter how bad the argument is they're not leaving each other. No. Just that in itself is super important. Yes.

Just knowing there's safety in this relationship. It doesn't matter how bad this fight gets where each other's person. We built the family together and maybe it's not overt love.
