Do people use Tinder anymore?
What?
People who don't use Tinder?
It's more of a-
It's bad.
It's a hookup site now.
What's wrong with that?
That's true, that's true, that's true.
Coming from a chef, that's true.
Yeah.
When's the last time you, I mean, were you ever in dating site?
No, I missed the whole thing. I know you did. Well, I mean, you could, uh,
you could have cleaned up like your kitchens.
Look at my references. My references are good. All right. So, um,
I can't believe I'm here.
are good. Oh god. Alright so um I can't believe I'm here. Bro I've been trying to get his people to get. I know he's a busy man. I couldn't believe that he was on the schedule. I got really fucking
excited but um we had a cigarette together. Let me just do a little intro if you don't mind.
Um David Chang. David Chang Momofuko. Have you heard of it? One of the best restaurants, Major Domo.
He's got his fucking, you know, his ramen shit.
What's it called?
Ramen?
Yeah, Momofuku.
Yeah, Momofuku ramen, the ramen.
The ramen, yeah, yeah.
You get it in packages.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Doing well, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, doing pretty good.
The first time I met David Chang, I was in New York.
I went to your restaurant.
You cooked something for us.
It was the first time I ever met you.
Very nice.
And then I ran into you at the airport once.
Yeah.
And then I did your show.
I mean, that's pretty much our interactions.
But, and I don't know what else, so I try to like,
I've tried to like call you to get hook up.
That's a fucking lie. Stop, stop. Fucking lie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me just stop. It's a lie. And I don't know what else so I try to like I've tried to like call you to get hook up
Text there's nothing no because I'll tell you why about the text
There's no way that's reliable because you have a weird because you have a weird email thing that you do through text I do yeah, so yeah, that's fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, so I was email
No, so I was emailing you through so I was emailing you through your fucking,
I was texting you through your email, some weird thing.
My point is is that I don't think all the texts
went through, I don't think it's really good evidence.
But it should be said though that I feel like I know Bobby
extremely well because of the universe that we're in.
Like the Marvel universe.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, what am I, Frog Boy?
What am I?
No, but there's like, but like, you know, via Cho, there's only so many Korean. Yeah.
Yeah. You know what? We can't talk about Asian people at large that are doing other things
in a, they're not academic or lawyers and shit like that. Right? Okay. Right? Yeah.
But just Korean dudes that are doing stuff. I'm a poet. Right? Yeah. But just Korean dudes that are doing stuff.
I'm a poet. Right? Yeah. It's the world is relatively small. Exactly. But how do you...
So you're getting evidence through the small ecosystem that we live in, right?
But how do you know that they're factual? How do you know me? How do you know that
I... You think I'm a deceiver? You think I'm a liar? You think I... You know what I mean? I live
in the shadows? Well, those are all true.
Yeah, okay, that's true. So what you're saying, I'm gonna tell you what's happening here, okay?
I've been to Major Dope, but because I asked your crew over there.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, they tell you?
Oh, yeah.
I go in there a lot.
I know.
Right?
And that I've-
What's the batting average for you?
Yeah, on dinnertime you were telling us that-
No, they're all work- they're all work meetings.
Yeah. I don't- it's not a work they're all work, they're all work meetings. Yeah.
I don't, it's not a work meeting. Yeah 7 p.m work meeting.
No um I don't think of it as averages because I think about, I think of it as
planting seeds. Wow. You know so I've planted many seeds
at Major Domo, what a great restaurant. But um
I, I'm not gonna, I tried in the early days to text you go hey, hey, this and that, never got anything back.

No. Please tell me.
Well, I love the fact that I saw when you did with Burt

He wanted to give me his number. Call Roy. Oh my FaceTime Roy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah call Roy right now
This was at the... and ask him before before you tell me you're on my podcast ask him Are you mad at Bobby Lee? Oh, yeah. Yeah, don't reveal. Yeah, don't reveal. Yeah. Yeah, and Roy right now. This was at the end. And ask him, before you tell him you're on my podcast,

You do not have Roy Choi's number.
I have weirdly too many Roy's.
I got a Roy from The Win.
I got a Roy from, who's an archery master.
I don't even know why I have a Roy that's an archer.
Yeah, but if you put a chef in your phone, their number,
I say Curtis Stone, right?

uh we'll just see what happens. You're just gonna call random random Roy? Yeah. Oh my god.
Your high school buddy. No no no no no I can't FaceTime I can't FaceTime. I used to work at

we had a geek squad yeah it's okay you got him okay yeah so you don't have his
number either I do wow so Roy check it out this from Chang. Oh, it's so um
So Roy's mad at me because I was at a Korean party
It was in the dark. I didn't recognize them. You're so racist
All Korean people like to say to you
Well, okay, that's true. Okay, that doesn't necessarily
mean that I'm racist.
I am too, don't worry.
Because we're not, listen,
we're not like Koreans in Korea
or Chinese, wherever you are.
Are you Chinese?
What are you?
I forgot, you're Chinese. I tell people I'm Chinese.
Chang. Korean? Chang.
Korean. Yeah full
If you want to start over
So yes, so um what I'm saying is I'm not around Koreans a lot so when I'm in a
I don't know it. I love him cuz him and I have a, we're very similar.
Yeah. You don't think we are? Oh yeah. Yeah. So we're very similar. So when I'm not around a lot
of Koreans and then all of a sudden I'm in front of a lot of Koreans, my eyes have to get acclimated
to it. I understand. I understand. Do you or do you not? Do do. Listen. If you're in a room full of more than say 10 Asian people, let alone 10 Korean people.
Mind you, you're in the dark.
The music, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, there's music, boom, right? Dark, dark. Korean, Korean, Korean, right?
It's some mystical Korean where there's a shadow.
But Roy's so cool. You love them
You're gonna be able to pick them out very easily. I think so. I know I love hello. What's a friend for best friends?
Yeah, a restaurant called best friend yeah in Vegas no in Vegas
Yeah, no, I when I go so he would last time I was in Vegas. He was in town, but never showed up
He knew I was there, but he did comp the meal.
So thank you so much, Roy.
But I think that there, I honestly because-
That's a sign of mad respect.
But if I was, but let me ask you something.
Which is why I want to let, you gotta let me know-
Dave, okay.
When you come to Major Dome, it's like, dude, I need to look like a superstar right now.
Okay, all right, I'm gonna show you my point then.
If I may.

This is where I check this out.
Yo, I'm going to Major Dome on Sunday.
What should I order?
It's Bobby Lee.
Okay, that was in June 23rd, 2022.
Okay.
Stop, stop.
Okay.
July 14th.
Okay.
Hey Bobby, it's Chang.
Sorry, I'm just seeing this.
You know what?
Wait, stop.
I had to go back to evidence, okay?
Okay, so let me ask about you guys.
Oh, fuck.
It's okay.
Jules, what do you think of that?
I think you've seen the message, but you just didn't reply.
She's on your side.
Thank you, thank you.
Jaime, what do you think of this? I agree with her.
So, no, let me tell you.
Rebuttal day, rebuttal.
It's very easy.
Very easy.
Okay.
About every three to four years, I change my phone number.
Yeah, because you're a busy guy.
You know, people know you.
If I don't happen to like, talk to you on the regular,
which happens to me. True, true, true.
I don't port those over, or I don't know who they are,
right?
What does it port?
You move the numbers over.
So basically, he knows what I'm talking about.
Okay, so what happened is,
I had, at the time I had two numbers,
and before the new iPhone happened
where you could have two numbers on one phone,
I would have, long story short,
instead of carrying two phones,
I moved one of those numbers to Google Voice number.
And I would get text messages on that,
and the reason why, it shows up green on his.
Right, so that's why I rarely check the Google Voice.
So, let me.
And that's how I would move,
whoever I contact on the Google Voice,
then I would move over to the new number.
They're like, hey, I got a new number
and that's what would happen.
So this is what.
That's what happened.
I'm gonna finish the thing, it was very kind.
You said, I changed this number to Google Voice,
you said all on there, right?
Hope you had a good time, the team took care of you right best number
And then you gave me the other one right and then that's it
Bobby this is much to do about nothing it really it does
Much to do about nothing right it has nothing to do with anything. It's just it was just something that like was it just
You were paranoid. It's nothing to do with anything. It's just it was just something that like was it just okay. You were just You were paranoid. It's okay. Well, you're
I'm telling you I'm here. No, you're just it. I'm telling you. It's not your fault. I'm telling you
I'm telling you. Oh, yeah, I know David Chang
Right and they and they took this out, right? I know David Chang, right and I'm and they're like really? Yeah
Why do you know he is? Yeah, I went to yeah, Cindy. Yeah. Yeah, where is he?
Well, I'll text him. Oh my god. He's so good right text text text, right? I'm gonna text my girlfriends now
We're at major knows the shepherd. Yeah, right now. We're at major doma right and then a month passes
So that's what happened. Yeah, yeah, but it's not your fault. It's not my fault. Let's just let's just bury it. Okay, let's bury it's buried
Think it's been there. It's absolutely buried right so I was I was watching a show
called civilization
It's it's a PBS show okay, and this is about used to play the game civilization
No, but I want to play it very good. Is it very good? Yeah, they have a new one coming out the only thing about that that game is you have to go into war with other places
Or no, dude. That's the only time Korea can become number one
Yeah, so you can go I want to be civilized in Korea. Fuck. Yeah, right
Yeah, and crush right but here's the thing about that
I don't like building a place and then having it be destroyed by a war.
And then I have to refix it, right?
So I don't wanna do that.
So I just play like SimCity or whatever,
where there's no war.
That's not very Korean.
I know, maybe I'm one of those monks.

F-U with the two dots above it. F, fume is an award winning flavored air device.
This is it, this is it guys.
And I've been doing this around house, you know,
and you know, it's, I have an oral fixation.
Yeah.
I don't know if you know this and this fits
perfectly with my oral fixation because the
flavors are so delicious.
Flavored air isn't like vaping.
If vapor was compared to sticky, sticky soda,
fume cores are closer to herbal teas,
if you understand that, Matt.
I get that.
Fume, two dots above the U,
has lots of delicious flavors to choose from,
like crisp mint and orange vanilla.
With flavored air, you can satisfy your oral fixations
through a passive diffusion system
that utilizes no electronics, vapor, or combustion.
And let me say something,
this isn't replacing other devices, you know what I mean?
But I have to say, it does help.
Yeah.
If I may say that.
Is it fun to play with?
It's fun to play with, with my fingers.
It's also got this sleek little magnetic device,
and you can stick it on like that,

You know what, in another universe, you could be.
Well, I thank you.
You know what, I could be a monk too.
We'd be really bad monks.
No, I'll be honest with you, I don't think so.
Because I think because of the pain and torment,
we would like, we need to find real peace.
I think we would really dedicate ourselves to it.
I think a lot of monks are like,
they're going on in my mind, you know what I mean?
I'm sad, I'm confused, right?
And then they become monks,
and then that's where they find peace.
Was Gandhi a monk?
No.
Wow.
Wow.
How old are you? He's 32. Gandhi was not a monk? No, wow. Wow. How old are you?
Gandhi was not a monk. Yeah. Yeah, you want to you want to know about gandhi? Yeah, we'd love to know about what do you think?
I just know that he's a
Yeah, go get express yourself. I just know that he likes to
like to uh with my with little babies
What what? Okay. I think what? Like, to a... With little babies. What?
What?
Okay, I think what you're talking about is...
You watch too much TikTok.
Yo?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Gandhi was a lawyer, and at the time,
the British colonized India,
and he could not get the certain rights that he wanted.
Exactly.
And he couldn't step up, so ultimately ultimately he had a conversion to the Hindu faith.
And then he saw all the horrors of colonialization
in India and because there was nothing he could do
to like gain power, he figured out.
The way to do it is.
Through non-violence.
For non-violence, right?
We're MLK learned from Gandhi which he learned from Henry Thoreau. Henry Henry Thoreau
Yeah, and it was a such a guy. Yeah, right. Yeah
It was a truth and and light or something like that. And basically they broke
British the British
government They broke the British government
through nonviolent protests.
Through fasting.
Through salt protests.
He did not fast?
He did fast, hunger strikes.
But what you're trying to talk about is,
I was a religion major.
He was a molesting kid, that's what you're implying.
No, no, no, no, so the one dodgy thing about Gandhi
is that in order to test his faith,
he would sleep with younger women next to him but not do anything.
Derry, it's a test of fucking time. A test of time.
It's all kind of like a spokesman.
What do you mean?
For?
Spokesman for who?
The Indians.
For abstinence.
Oh, abstinence.
For abstinence.
For the Indians. Right, abstinence. For abstinence, for abstinence. For the Indians.
Right, yeah.
Right?
Yeah, basically.
I feel like we did something here on Tiger Belly
that's never been done before.
Exactly.
We educated somebody.
We educated.
With something.
Yeah, and what I also would love to encourage you to do
is watch the movie.
With Ben Kingsley.
Ben Kingsley.
Sir Ben Kingsley.
What?
Put some respect on his name.
He might want to do this act as a whole. I did a movie, a scene with him. What? Yeah, a couple scenes with him in a movie. Ben Kingsley. Sir Ben Kingsley. Put some respect on his name. He's one of the actors of all
the films. I did a movie, a scene with him. What? Yeah, a couple scenes with him in a
movie. Where? Called The Dictator, was a movie with Sacha Baron Cohen. Oh. I didn't see
it. Yeah, yeah. I'm in it. So what are you doing? I'm sorry. What are you doing right
now, dude? I'm sorry. I've done some things. I know you've done a lot, but.
Right, so this guy.
There he is, white guy.
I swear to God this happened.
We're sitting on a couch, I'm not kidding you.
And I didn't know what to say
because it's like, I'm nervous.
It's Sir Ben Kingsley.
So he goes, tell me about Gandhi.
What else is he saying?
What's up with that dude?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know what to say. What's his deal? Yeah, yeah, what's his deal, dude? What's that with that dude? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know what to say.
What's his deal?
What's that all about?
And he's like, well, let me tell you something.
You know that scene.
Oh, well, nice British accent.
I didn't think you could do it.
I didn't even do it.
No, I didn't hear it.
I don't think that was good.
No, I can't do it. I don't think that was good. No, I can't do it.
Even that scene where I'm being carried by the Indians.
I go, yeah.
Thank you.
And I go, yeah.
And he goes, that wasn't CGI.
That was real civilians coming out and helping.
I go, wow.
A million people showed up.
A million people showed up to do one scene where they were carrying his body. I thought was an incredible fact. I only know him from
Prince of Persia. Look good old Prince of Persia. Fuck off, man. I just read it.
That's what the IMDb said.
Chinese man.
That's funny.
Let me ask you about that.
So I got an offer just now, yesterday, about a show that I really want to do, but then
they called me and they go, you have a full blown Asian accent.
You're playing just full blown Korean dude with a thick Asian accent.
It's a show that I really want to do, but I don't want to do accents anymore. What do you think I should do, David? You're playing this full blown Korean dude with a thick Asian accent.
It's a show that I really want to do but I don't want to do accents anymore.
What do you think I should do David?
Drama or comedy?
It's a comedy.
How much they pay you?
Not much. It's a small show.
But it's a good show.
Is it highly watched?
Well I'll just tell you what it is.
We'll bleep it out.
We'll bleep it out.
Oh yeah yeah because he's a friend so he called me directly. Big show yeah.
Then I think you should do it because it's like part of the... Oh fuck I'll do it!
I think it's part of the it's part of the fraternity. Yeah you're right. You
know what I mean? Yeah. If you were doing a show for like you know big white dudes
from Pennsylvania. Yeah but... You know hey speak speak dudes from Pennsylvania. Yeah, but he...
You know, hey, speak in Philly accent.
He'd do it.
Right.
Right, but here's my problem with that, though.
Okay, there's all these other parts in the show
where they don't think I should play
because they're not technically Asian, right?
Whereas, you know, some movies like,
you know, the couple of movies I've just done, right,
they're like, oh, we don't care.
It's just you're just a guy.
You know what I mean?
And I like playing just guys.
Bobby, no one will ever look at us as just guys.
We're still to this day.
Fuck yeah, we're always the Asian guy.
Always.
But what did I tell you what happened the other day?
You got your butt eight.
You like gnomes?
No, I don't remember.
Can we go back to Civilization?
Sure.
Okay.
So, um.
There must be a lot of editing on this.
No, it's cute.
This is a great, this is all loud.
We don't have to edit any of this.
So, I'm killing it.
Civilization.
Yeah, yeah.
What comedy podcasts have you done?
I did Your Boy Santino's like a month ago you did yeah, yeah, and he was that more free-flowing no yeah, this is fun
This is fun. Okay good Santino. This is way funner than you
This is more clinical. Let me just connect to go back to so I've been watching the show and so you know back in the day
We were no meds
Okay, there was like how how far back before there was civilization. Yeah, we were all the day we were nomads, okay? There was no. But how far back?
Before there was civilization.
Yeah, we were all nomads.
We were all nomads.
Not me specifically, I wasn't around.
But our ancestors.
Yeah, all right, yeah.
Roaming around, right?
And there was no fixed place that we lived, okay?
But then once we established grains
and growing and farming.
In the Fertile Crescent?
Yes.
Right?
Yeah, dude.
That's important in civilization. You wanna get that. That's exactly it. Yeah, the Fertile Crescent? Yes. Right? Yeah, dude. That's important in civilization.
You wanna get that.
That's exactly, yeah, the Fertile Crescent, right?
And then we started hurting, right?
We stayed stagnant in one place
and developed civilizations and war drives civilization,
but when I'm asking you, when did culinary happen?
Because in the beginning,
the first probably couple thousand years of civilization,
it was probably just getting grains and food
and this and that, but now we're at a point
where it's like, you know, you want taste and flavor
and you know what I mean, the experience.
When do you think that occurred?
Did the French do it?
When did you process this question?
What do you mean?
Yeah, because it's a highly developed, nuanced question
that I have to say I wasn't expecting from a Bobbie D.
I wasn't expecting that.
Dude, I'm almost like you blacked out.
No, no, no, dude, dude, no, no, dude, this is so offensive.
I can't even believe I'm offended.
Think about the previous thing you said.
It's like he read that book Sapiens or something.
After he got his ass tossed.
No, I was, did you just hear what I just said?
Yes.
I've been watching this PBS show called Civilians.
The first chapter was on war.
Domestication of war, okay.
The second one was about religion, right?
But in the midst, you know, it said all this information.
I'm watching it and I went, oh, interesting.
When did culinary things happen?
You know what I mean?
So that's why, and then I thought,
well, David's gonna do the podcast,
this would be a nice question to ask him.
Hey, well done.
Exactly.
So anyway, I'm asking you.
I think that it probably,
listen, I think,
what's wrong?
Nothing.
I think that deliciousness,
what we find to be delicious,
is a universal, it's like a meme that wants to survive.
Yes.
Just like a good idea wants to survive.
Yes.
Just like DNA wants to survive.
Right.
I think that something that tastes good
actually wants to survive in any form necessary.
I see.
So there are things that are physiologically
inherent in all of us that we want salt, we want sweet, all of these things. Mm. So
regardless you're gonna know honey for the first time. Like oh that's fucking
good. You know what I mean? Honey. Honey. Imagine, imagine tasting honey for the
first time. Caveman did that. Yeah, imagine. Noot whoot, no no, I know, but whoot whoot whoot.
Let me reenact it.
Whoot whoot whoot whoot, look at me.
Whoot whoot.
Wow.
Ooh.
Now I got it, wow.
I just went back in time.
Now I got it, now I got it.
All right.
Where are we?
He just cast a spell, I don't know what's going on.
You guys get that?
But imagine, like, everything that we take for granted,
somebody did it first, right?
Yeah.
And that was probably delicious.
And they're like, oh, that's delicious.
And then you're going to tell somebody else, oh, you got to.
Well, let me ask you even more of a specific question.
Like, cheese.
Yeah.
How the fuck do you develop?
I think it's all the time.
You get milk, right?
And then how did you go?
How did some guy go,
I think we could make this into cheese.
I tell you, I think about, I thought about this a lot.
Okay.
So,
so after we domesticated grain,
after we sort of domesticated cattle or whatever,
any, anybody that produces milk, right?
So imagine like all of a sudden me and you,
let's just say, what tribe are we two million years ago, a million So imagine, like, all of a sudden, me and you, let's just say, we're part of, what tribe are we,
two million years ago, a million years ago,
whatever it is.
The Dong tribe.
Dong tribe, dong.
You guys know what that means, right?
Dong.
What does dong mean in Korean?
Dong.
No, it means poo.
Oh, poo.
We're the poo tribe.
We're the poo tribe.
Respect.
Yeah, yeah.
So we're the dong tribe, and we're the younger,
we're still like, woo-loo, woo-loo, woo-loo. But we're young, you know what I mean? Yeah, so we're the we're the don't drive and we're the young we're still like we're still like
We're like the younger people in the tribe and they're like, oh hey Bobby and Dave go milk those fucking cows and then meet us over at
What's another tribes name?
Got you got you
penis penis. Yeah, the go to the go to try right?
But we're trying to get into the bogey drive Gochu. You know what Gochu is? Penis. Penis. You said the Gochu Tribe, right? At sundown.
But we're trying to get into the boju tribe,
which is just pussy.
You know, so like, they're like,
hey, we want to go-
We'll get there.
At sundown, go meet us at the Gochu Tribe.
Yeah, right.
But why are we going there?
Because they're going to have like a feast for us.
Yeah, their dicks are all out of there.
Yeah, yeah, fine.
We're like fine. and we putz around,
we putz around, and we start fucking around,
and we figure out like, there's all the shit we can do.
And then, no, no, no, no, no,
we do everything but milk the cows,
because that's what we would do.
We'd fuck around for hours.
Oh, we'd do some sexualities with each other in the forest?
Hey.
Maybe.
Different times. Different times, maybe, forest? Hey! Different times.
So anyway, yeah.
No, we're like observing the Boju tribe.
We'd be doing everything but working, right?
And then we're like, oh shit, the sun's going down.
And Bobby, we need to go fucking milk these fucking cows.
Oh my god! Holy shit!
What do we do? We gotta milk these fucking cows!
It's too late! I know!
What were they using to hold milk?
Buckets.
No.
Mouth.
No.
Okay, wait, we hold it.
Like a cloth?
Yeah, but maybe it was a stomach.
Maybe it was an animal casing, right?
No, so that, no, this is new information.
They would cut out the animal casing of another cow
and then you put the milk.
That's how we got sausage.
Sausage.
Oh, I see. So all parts of the animal were used, right and then you put them. That's how we got sausage. Sausage. Oh, I see.
All parts of the animal were used, right?
Okay. So a stomach.
Yeah. Probably was used.
Think about all the animals that were fucking killed
and might have taken a long time for them
to get to the stomach. Right.
But it probably happened. Okay.
And then two knuckleheads that were milking
this fucking cow. Right.
Now we have a stomach casing or another casing from the animal of the cow. I see the vagina, but that's fine
Okay, okay. Anyway, we make we make we make like a
Bag and we store the fucking milk in there and we tie it up with some string
Yeah, and we hurry up so we don't get in trouble. We go to the culture tribe
And we hurry up so we don't get in trouble. We go to the Kochi tribe.
Right.
Yeah, we're, hurry up.
It's warm and it's hot.
And by the time we get there.
Yeah, yeah.
They're like, hey, you guys got the meat?
We got the milk.
And then we pour out the milk and it's not milk anymore.
What is it?
It's cheese.
Ah.
That's a long walk.
Yeah.
It must've been a long walk.
That's a nine day walk. we know this to be true because
cheese is made with stomach enzymes original so that was casins that would just old milk
correct Wow you learn everything new yeah but where's the flavor just drop a knowledge bombs
here on Digger Belly wait wait let's this here. What the flavor of the milk, like the cheese,
like what does the cheese flavor come in?
You pay this guy?
No, but answer him.
Where the cheese flavor, it is inherent in itself.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, I'm thinking about cheddar cheese, my bad.
But where does cheddar cheese flavor come from?
Yeah, I'm asking.
He's gonna throw it back.
So there's this thing called microbes that
you can't see in the world and that provides flavor to everything that you
can't see. Right. So that's why I say wine tastes different in one country versus
another country climates and all that differences make cheddar cheddar and
different kinds of milk so that's cow milk. Yeah different kind of milk. So that's cow milk. Different kind of milk. You know everything.
He knows everything.
So that's how cheese is made.
Yes.
Wow. So let me just get my little brain out of you, right?
So you're talking about the little intestine lining, right?
We put meat in there, made sausage.
And condoms.
Maybe that's And condoms.
Maybe that's how condoms, I don't know. It's possible.
Wow, so that's how cheese is made.
What's the number one restaurant Michelin star?
There's a lot of them.
But the top 10, are most of them in France?
No, they're in Japan.
Oh.
A lot of wakase.
Fuck that, we're Korean.
But like the-
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's close, it's close.
We're adjacent to them. Yeah, yeah, it's close. Really? Yeah, dude. But like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's close, it's close. We're adjacent to that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's close.
Really?
I think so.
I mean, some of the best restaurants
certainly are in France,
but you can't just,
it's like this, put it this way,
even though this is gonna be a ridiculous comparison.
Can you say the best soccer slash football is in France?
No.
No.
There's great players all over the world.
There's great players. You're right, but I would think that the Premier League is the most competitive and that's in the UK. Yes, right? Okay, right?
All right. So, okay
Okay, okay. All right. Does that make sense in a weird way?
It doesn't but because it's not all in France. That's what I'm trying to say. What does that say?
France is the most Michelin starred restaurants in the world. Well, that's what I was saying. Yeah
It's fucking home-favored
From France. Oh, I see. Yeah, it's like saying when when like the NFL were the world champions who else plays fucking American football, right?
And I feel like it's in the last 20 years I think other countries have caught up as a yeah like in fucking Mexico City of Puyol. Mexico City's got the best food. Pujol. Pujol. Yeah yeah.
Great restaurant. Damien. I heard you draw Damien a few times. It's a good date spot.
Yeah I like Damien a lot. Very good. Ceviche is very good. And yeah so Damien so um what I'm
asking you is what kind of when did you develop your style?
Are these like regular, I mean, this is good.
What I never developed my style,
I developed my style probably in some ways
how you developed your comedy.
By not fitting in, not doing it right, not,
you know, not following, trying to be mainstream,
but not fitting in, you know.
We never fit in.
No, and like not being good enough,
not being seen from how other people would see you,
because you literally see as the Asian guy, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I think for me, how I found my style
was actually going to Asia, living in Asia,
living in Japan, working in Japan, traveling, cooking,
and then realizing like,
wait, like, this shit is just as valid as the French shit.
Yeah. I mean, when we ate, me and Andrew ate at our show, we talked about it for a very
long time and it was-
The show was Dinner Time Live. You gotta plug my shit.
I do it at the end. I don't do Midway, Dinner Time Live with David Chang on Netflix.
We're never gonna have that.
It was an incredible experience because there it is.
I was a little aggressive.
You two guys are great.
We're great together.
We do.
But anyway, it was because our episode is basically leftovers.
And also one of the least watched episodes we've ever had. But anyway, it was a, because our episode is basically leftovers.
And also one of the least watched episodes we've ever had.
No, I'm joking, I'm joking.
No, are you being real?
No, I'm joking.
Is it mid or no?
I have no idea.
They won't tell us.
That's a really fun joke.
So self-conscious.
That was a fun joke because it hurt me in my heart.
I knew it would.
Because I would have believed you.
You guys appreciated it, right?
Yeah, yeah, it was really good.
How long ago was this?
Like a year ago?
Like a month and a half ago.
A month and a half ago.
Okay, turn it off.
I don't want me screaming.
I'm screaming, okay.
So anyway, it was an incredible experience,
but because you used leftovers from your previous shows
and made us stop, right?
And I have to say, the greatest thing I've eaten,
probably the greatest dessert I've ever eaten
in my whole life was that cake.
Caviar.
He made a creme fraiche cheesecake with caviar on it,
and it was absolutely stunning.
It was fucking delicious.
Because I just started getting into caviar
maybe three or four years ago.
And I love the potato chip caviar with the creme fraiche.
That's my favorite combination.
The salty, you know what I mean, the creamy.
I love that you became a caviar guy.
You're welcome, thank you.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
Well, you know, I've upped my game. Yeah, you really you. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Well, you know, I've um, I've upped my game. You really have. As I say.
And so, you know, and I've also been partaking in the best restaurants I can go to.
I've learned it. Yeah, yeah. And so, I have to say that me and Andrew decided
that was probably one of the best culinary experiences we've ever had.
I'm glad. I really was happy you guys came in. It was great.
And I felt that the meal that I really was happy you guys came in.
And I felt that the meal that I cooked for you guys was very good, so I was very, very happy.
Yeah.
You've had some interesting people on your show.
Big people.
Like yourself.
Well, we were later in the thing.
Who have you had?
You had Seth Rogen?
Love him.
What a great guy.
There's Seth. Who else?
Oh that fucking guy. You do with Ike and Seth? Ike and Seth. Yeah. God, him and I used to be so close.
Me and Ike. Aren't you still close? Yeah, but we used to hang out every day for years. I'm so happy for him.
Anyway, it was a great experience and like something that you would make on that show is it something you put on the menu of your restaurants?
No, I mean we'll see what happens one day.
Will you ever make a strictly ramen shop?
No. I mean like I don't cook in restaurants that much these days.
Oh.
So.
Why?
Because I've done it.
So who cooks there now?
He has his chefs. Oh you have your chefs? You tell them what to do? So why yeah, because I've done it So who cooks there now?
He has his chefs. Oh you have your chefs. Yeah, you tell him what to do. No, I am literally not in the day today anymore Oh, so you could go to you. So the only way to eat my food is literally at dinner time live
You want very few people. It's like that's a reservation again. What incredible one. Yeah, you feel better about yourself. I feel so good
What incredible, what incredible. Now you feel better about yourself?
I feel so good.
I feel good about it.
Yeah.
So let me ask you this.
You can go to one of your restaurants
and you could see the menu and go,
I don't know what any of this is.
No, I know what's going on, but I'm not in the,
the difference was I used to know everything.
And I used to be on the road all the time
visiting all the restaurants and not so much anymore. I'll tell what I tell you what upset me at Major Domo if I may
Well, we all we all know who you are
Because of your you're the Yelper
Your little cream girl
That is me yeah, yeah, yeah and
And I want you to explain this to me, if you may.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
So you have your, the bread, what's the bread called?
Bing.
Bing.
But it's basically bong, right?
Yeah, it's bing.
Yeah, delicious bread.
Bong is Korean for bread.
Bing is Chinese for bread.
Yeah.
And so I get bing every time when I'm at your place and I get probably two or three
You know I mean, but then you change it up and I'll tell you what I was upset about
There was one thing you had was honey honey butter and cave butter
Cave H butter and then the cave butter was no longer because that that
Tell me about the cave the cave room in New York is no longer open.
What happened to the cave?
So they had an aging cave.
So when you age cheese in a cave, all of those flavors, and those flavors come from the microbes,
get stuck in the air, right?
Wow.
And they impart a lot of that funky flavor into the butter that was also aging.
Incredible.
In the cheese cave.
Incredible.
And that cheese shop that was making our aged butter
is no longer in existence.
So they just ran out?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, they're not open.
All right.
Yeah.
That's all that happened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It just made me sad.
One day it was no longer.
I'm sorry.
Because you could really tell the difference.
It tastes funky.
It tastes weird and good.
This guy's never had sushi.
This guy's never eaten anything fancy.
All he eats is hamburgers and chicken.
And wings.
And wings.
Chicken wings.
If I took him to your-
We're gonna flat our drums.
Flats.
Oh man, you passed the test.
You passed the test.
No, no. He passed the test. He's never had sushi. It's okay. Oh, he will get him
It's okay. I
Took it to the shawarma place under that serves Wagyu. Yeah. Yeah, he had he asked for no toppings
It's asked they could add beans to it. I don't say beans
Where oh, yeah, I don't remember was that the meat place? Yes the shawarma wagyu.
Oh I thought it was like a Philly cheesesteak.
Yeah yeah.
He didn't tell me that.

Yeah tell him.
Oh I've been to Philadelphia.

They're pretty good out there.
Yeah yeah tell us about it though.
What about it?
It's just.
What do you like about it?
I don't know just the way the meat is and like how they cook the meat, it just melts
in your mouth.
It's the cheese.
Is there a specific place that you went that you liked a lot?
Philadelphia.
We just want to make sure you're not catfishing us.
What is a Philly cheesesteak?
Tell us what it is.

What's funny it's a weird a lot of telephone
but um you said that
You think that Koreatown has the best Korean food in the world
better than maybe in Koreatown. No, no, no, no, no, no. What I said was and people got upset
because things get pulled, you know, people get pulled quoted all the time, right?
Me all the time! All the time.
What I said was Koreatown, so the Korean food in Seoul is.
Slow down.
You're not on fire.
First, number one.
Okay.
First off, the food in Korea is the best Korean food.
No question about it because it's very progressive now.
You know what I mean is, is, like when our parents came to this country.
Yuck.
Right?
Yeah.
The recipes and all the knowledge they had when they were trying to make the
same foods that they left. Yeah. It was stuck in it.
We were eating time capsule food. Ah, you know what I
mean? The 40s. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like this
is what they understood. This is where. So back then
when my parents, when our parents came to America,
yeah, did they have Jigae? Yeah, they had it. But
the flavors were like,
and like the modernism of it all was stuck in the 60s and 50s.
Because there was just no communication
of what was happening.
So it's almost like you're stuck in a different dialect.
Whoa.
So, but what was happening in Korea
was constant progression and evolution.
So you see a lot more wacky shit, I think.
In Korea. And you also see that in LA, because there's been a lot more wacky shit, I think. In Korea.
And you also see that in LA,
because there's been a lot of innovation.
So if I went to Korea and I said to you,
where's the best traditional Korean food that's the best?
Do you know the place?
I have to talk to somebody that knows.
Oh, you don't know?
I don't know.
Do you know any restaurant that you would recommend?
Yeah, I mean, I know the people that know it.
Oh, go, go, go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like you base the story on something you're
going to. That's true that's true. But like LA Korea Town is amazing and I've been coming here for a long time. I think it is as good and it's not just Korean food in K-Town. Yeah. Right? Everything's good in K-Town. K-Town is like got everything. Yeah. So fucking good. What people got upset is I said, I think I enjoy the food in
not a
Fuck what's the what guard? What's the not Gardena? What's the town where a little Vietnam is?
little Saigon in
The south not River side. No see that right? Yeah, no C area that there's honorary Park. No, no
South not Riverside no see that right you know OCR that Monterey Park no no no no what do you Fullerton Fullerton Fullerton's got fucking amazing cream
okay I've never heard that super good okay and that's when people got mad they
got mad yeah yeah what I don't blame them why would you give a shit if they got
mad don't give a shit if they get mad who gives a fuck
I mean I don't yeah don't even yeah don't give yeah so if they get mad who gives a fuck I mean, honestly, I don't I don't yeah don't even
Yeah, don't give yeah, so it but the reason why it's so good is a lot of the Ajima's
They left because it got too too expensive and also the churches and the schools were better out there
Oh, I see so they are left and why the old K town it has the old K town vibe. Whoa, right?
So if you do you you have, like,
cause I have my spots in K-Town.
Do you have your spots?
I do.
Oh, so give me a spot that you would say, okay.
There's Dumbfounded, there you go.
There's our spot that we used to go to.
Right, so my name is Ding, I'm from Korea, right?
And I say to you, hey, where's the best Korean food?
You know, in K-Town town, or what would you say?
I don't know.
What do you mean?
I was just like, you look like,
oh, you're Vietnamese, right?
No, no, I'm Korean.
That accent was weird.
Really?
So sorry.
I mean, fuck the accent.
I'm just a regular Korean guy from Phong, Cleveland.
The classic.
Yeah, yeah, but my name's still Ding. For some reason. Okay?
Well, here's the deal. Like, you gotta figure out
what level do they want.
Yo, dude. Yo, dude. Ding here, dude.
I want high level, dude. It's me, Ding.
You want gamjatang? You know, how...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Gamjatang, gamjatang.
Wow. So where you were there with Dom?
We were filming something for Expedia.
Yeah, yeah, oh, really?
We were in Sanandang.
I ruined, for Cho.
Dave Cho took...
Oh, you guys...
We used to go there all the time.
No, no, no, Cho used to go there before anyone.
You were the one that blew up the spot though, right?
I fucking ruined it.
Yes, you did.
Yeah, yeah.
So Cho used to go here all the time.
Yeah.
Because he would leave his warehouse
like four in the morning, he wants something,
he was the only place to open that was,
in K-Town, never fucking busy.
Right.
And then he'd take me there and I'd be like,
this place is really fucking good.
Because when we used to go, there was no one there,
empty on 6th Street, right?
And then one day, years later,
Lines.
Yeah, just, I saw it three hour away,
or I'm like, what the fuck happened?
And then they go, fucking David Chang.
You fucked it up.
I told a couple people, and I fucking ruined it.
Now they make me wait in fucking line.
They do?
Yeah.
And then they opened the one on Western.
Western, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you, wow.
Well, that's a big influence, though.
How does that feel?
I'm just happy to talk to you.
I'm just happy to talk to you.
No, no, what do you mean, Let do this. I mean you shit I
Do I don't care. I know
What's wrong with you yeah, yeah, I mean it must be cool
What do you get across the line no, I know what do you know problem all right voices are getting so high
There's nothing, I have no problem. All right, all right.
Your voices are getting so high.
I know, what I'm saying is that.
I'm honored.
It's so cool that you can go, yeah, this is the spot
and all of a sudden everyone's going.
But to be honest, it was a spot.
Yeah.
I mean, the krabi thong was so good.
Good.
Yeah, and it's like, no, let me ask you about rice.
It's so funny. Nothing. Let me ask you about rice. Mm-hmm. It's so funny.

I love it.
You're talking about this food is making me hungry now.
You haven't eaten? No. Yeah, sometimes it's good. What? I love it. It's because you're talking about this food is making me hungry now.
I know.
You haven't eaten?
No.
Okay.
Where are you from?
What's your background?
I'm from Texas.
Where?
Where's your family from?
From Mexico.

Why'd you ask him that?
I want to know.
Yeah, yeah.
We found him he came here with
Barbosa and
he was sitting there and we was the guest of a friend and
There was something magical about him so we fly him out here sometimes to do these podcasts
Where do you live? I'm in Dallas, Texas Wow in Dallas, Texas
I got to do something for a
What is the food of Dallas, Texas there There we go. I've always wanted to
lot of Tex max food. Yeah, but yeah, can't say like, what is the dish?
You know, is there something that is representative Dallas? I don't think this
is the guy to ask that. No, I do eat a lot. No, he's gonna say refried
brains or something.
Rice? No. Um, shit. Uh, I can't think of anything. He's gonna say refried beans or something Rice no
Shit I can't think of anything
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, you know have a restaurant like where people go to like there's not like a specific food like New York
It's like the pretzel or pizza or dirty water hot dog. Well, it's a dirty water hot dog
You know what that no, I don't know what a dirty water hot dog is
It I guess hearts. Okay, and then they'd have the hot dogs in water. Oh, that's right.
That's a Dirty Water Hot Dog. Yeah, yeah. Those are so good. So good. Yeah, yeah. And then you said pretzels is there?
Pretzels. Wait, wait, that's a New York thing? Yeah. Wait, pretzels were created in New York. No, not created, but it's like,
it's their representative. Yeah, yeah. Black and white cookies. Cheesecake. Oh, those are good.
Cassis pastrami.
Yep, pastrami, yes.
I love it.
Yeah, bagels.
New York's got too many.
Yeah, New York's, yeah.
But now, you don't, how,
cause I've always known you as a New York guy,
and now you're an LA guy.
Yeah.
How's it feel?
Cause we talked about outside, you feel light and...
You feel free?
I'm happy.
No, no, no.
I'm good.
I mean, come on, just breathe.
We're good, we're good.
I'm enjoying it.
Yeah, I get to see somebody like you.
Yeah. This could have happened if I was living in New York. What do you mean? enjoying I'm enjoying it yeah I get to see somebody like you yeah this is gonna
happen if I was living in New York what do you mean you know I have to do this
with my video if I was a this is a bonus that I'm I can just like drive across
town and that's true we don't do no I like it's been a lot of it's it's a big
difference for me and you know I came out here mostly for work
because I'm doing more media stuff,
but I think in general, having two kids,
I just thought it'd be better to,
not that LA's better, but we live in Pasadena,
so it's not full of the Hollywood shit.
So it's just a little bit different.
And I feel like if I was living in New York,
I'd be living in Connecticut and New Jersey
and having kids.
So that's how I think. I feel like we live in the suburbs. York, I'd be living in Connecticut and New Jersey. That's how I think.
I feel like we live in the suburbs.
Yeah.
Although, last week, do you guys know I went to Ohio?
Do you know that?
You saw it?
Here comes the name drop.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotcha.
I connected it now.
I connected it.
Thanks for that, Dave.
Now I know, Dave.
Now I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's cool.
I will fucking name drop it.
I wasn't name dropping.
I wasn't going to see nothing.
Let's see how you tell us now without a name.
So I went to Ohio.
I flew there.
What were you doing there?
How'd you fly there?
I did a show.
Me and Andrew did a show.
How'd you fly there?
We flew in a private plane.
Yeah.
So there we go.
All right, I'll name drop.
Yeah.
All right.
So Chappelle, Dave, you're going to name drop.
I'm going to name drop. I'm going to name drop. I'm going to name drop. I'm going to private plane. Yeah. So there we go.
All right, I'll name drop.
Yeah.
So Dave Chappelle flew me and Andrew over to Yellow Springs,
Ohio, right next to Springfield where they eat the fucking
dogs and cats, the Haitians.
And it was the day before the debate, after the debate.
It was weird because Dave picks us up in Springfield
at their little, and that's all we could talk about,
is what Trump said, right?
It was hilarious.
And, but when I was in that town, I thought to myself,
because in your mind, you think,
why would Donnell Rawlings and Dave Chappelle
live in Yellow Springs, Ohio, right?
But when you go there, you go, oh, I completely get it.
It's green, right?
It's got a small town feel to it,
but the shops are eclectic, you know what I mean? Like, you know.
I don't know what you mean.
Well, the shops have like...
Is it like Woodstock?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like hippies?
No, no, no. It's like, you know, like a rainbow flag.
A rainbow flag.
Like a rainbow flag, and they have like little like witchcrafty kind of like figurines.
Pilate studio?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Little things like that. You know what I mean?
Well, you walk by and go, oh, somebody made that with their little fingers or
whatever, you know what I mean?
And so it's like, it's charming.
It's charming.
No restaurants really ever, they have like kind of divey, barry kind of things.
But then you go and he opened his own comedy club in Yellow Springs.
And get this, the comedy club's open when he wants to do it.
Imagine a comedy club like that.
It's amazing.
It's closed tonight because I don't want to do it.
You know what I mean?
But I'll do it Thursday, you know what I mean?
Like it's that thing.
But what I was thinking is that a town like that,
there's a photo, a town like, yeah.
And yeah, that was incredible.
But a town like that doesn't have a high end restaurant.
You know what I mean?
And I'm wondering, do you see in the future
that little towns will have, you know what I mean,
every town will have a nice place or not?
Well, there was a, not every town,
but I think it's gonna be more common.
I think it started, there was a restaurant
like two hours south of Washington DC and a restaurant
That's I can't even name the town
But Patrick O'Connell was the chef and he opened up in this little podunk town a three mission star restaurant called it in a little Washington
Well, yeah, so it can happen. Yeah. Yeah, right. Have you eaten there? I haven't uh, yeah, and so um
But the economy has to be good no for a time or because I saw a chef table
Great show and there's one chef. I forgot where it was but it was in Denmark somewhere. It's a way
It's way into the forest. It's like a six-hour. No. It's not in Denmark. Okay in Sweden. Okay. I'm sorry
Correct, but I don't remember yeah yeah yeah people look the same yeah yeah y'all look like Roy Choi to me yeah so yeah so it's in Sweden it's a six hour
drive right or something it's it's an eight hour train ride from Stockholm
it's in the northern part like the northern tip of Sweden, in a national park.
It's owned by one of the richest people in Sweden on this huge estate. I've been there. Magnus is
one of my close friends and he had a restaurant called Faviken where everything was produced
and grown on the land. Yeah, they use local flavors and vegetables and mushrooms and stuff,
right? And you eat and how much like, it's expensive, right?
Yeah, but it's not great, it's not like,
probably like 300 bucks.
It's expensive, but it's not like-
Do we have to stay there, too?
Yeah, it's nice.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So imagine, I mean, that town's not like a huge city, right?
There's nothing there.
There's nothing there.
There's nothing there.
So it can happen, is what you're saying.
Yeah, but you're creating destination restaurants,
and that's for-
That's what I'm saying,
so why can't we do that in America?
Why can't Springfield, Ohio?
As I said, I just said it is going to happen,
just not gonna happen in every town.
And it'll probably happen with Springfield, Ohio,
because Dave's there.
I know that a couple of my friends
have cooked for him there.
So it's like, yeah, I'm sure it's gonna happen.
Yeah, because Donnell was like, so that's it.
I've always wanted-
You usually need a super rich guy to be like,
yeah, I'm gonna bankroll this.
All right.
But I wanna go there.
It's closed.
What?
Magnus Nilsson left a few years ago,
and he's opening a new restaurant.
He's opening a new restaurant in the southern pit.
So Magnus moved to an apple orchard,
and he's opening a new restaurant
in the southern part of Sweden.
We gotta go now!
It's gonna open up soon.
And it's not gonna be like a fine dining destination.
It's gonna be like a all-you-can-eat,
not all-you-can-eat, like an all-day cafe type of thing.
Like a diner, like a Swedish diner.
Whoa, so it's not something
that you would wanna maybe travel to?
I will.
Okay.
Have you eaten here?
Here's another great question.
Where?
Do you ever see the hero dreams of sushi?
Giro, yes.
What'd I say?
Giro.
Giro.
I didn't use a J.
Giro dreams of sushi?
I have been there.
You've been in the subway?
Yeah.
Restaurant, with him serving?
Yeah, yeah. You know him? I don't know him. Did he know you? No. Okay. He doesn't give a fuck about me. Were you
nervous? No. Okay. Was it, did you ever see this documentary? No. Okay you have to- It's one of the
quickest meals I've ever had. Quickest? Because they only, they don't do any
otsumami, they don't do anything that's like the cooked or other dishes, you just get sushi.
On average, like the meal is like, like 22 minutes.
Wow. It's expensive.
I don't remember. I didn't pay.
I heard it is.
I didn't pay.
But sushi in Japan is not like overly expensive, even the high end places.
It is. I'm not trying to say it's not but it's not like
what you think it might be. Anyone listening right now and then there's a ton of you but you gotta watch Iroh dreams of sushi. Jiroh, Jiroh. Jiroh. Don't forget the J. Sorry. It's not heiming.
Jiroh dreams of sushi. Okay. But David Gelb, who actually made a chef's table.
Yeah. Yeah.
So this tiny sushi bar, right?
This guy Jiro, got it right that time, right?
This guy right here, he's been running it since what,
the 60s or 70s, I don't know.
Yeah. Right?
If you go there now, you'll probably see his son.
Yeah, his son, yeah.
That's his son right there.
And he has another restaurant in Roppongi,
but it's not as good.
And when you watch this documentary,
Jules especially, because I know you like sushi,
right? It'll blow your mind. It'll make you want to have sushi right then and there.
That's how good it looks. But was it...
That guy has a restaurant now that we just saw in New York, Nakazawa.
Really? Wow. So that's him. So when you saw him and you ate it, was it...
Is it like one of the better sushi you had
or was it just like, uh?
But here's the deal.
I love it.
So like if I asked you, so I learned this,
and who's the best comedian of all time?
You know, you're like,
what's the best comedy show you've ever done?
Oh, you're right.
Dude, okay, I love the way you're framing it,
and you've been doing it often, and it's, thank you.
Thank you so much.
She's trying to give you contact.
Yeah, so you're giving me contact.
So, you're saying, it depends on what my mood is,
or my preferences.
Correct.
Right, so.
But there's a whole, there could be like,
a hundred comedians you could probably choose from.
Right, but it's like, I gotta see Chappelle or Chris Rock.
Right, and in Tokyo there's probably like five to 10
that could any given night be the best.
Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Saito's probably the most, Sushi Saito,
and all these restaurants, you're not getting in
because they're invitation only
because they don't want dumb Americans coming in anymore.
Really? Yeah.
They're like, fuck you guys.
We're just too loud and obnoxious. Can you get into sushi shop Saito? I have friends. I can probably get in.
You can get in right? If you can get in. But I... if... he said maybe. Shut the fuck
up. He said maybe. No he didn't. He was gonna say it straight. No I know people. Okay.
Let me try to get... let me see if I can do it, okay?
If you can get in, that means that I can get in.
Yes.
So this is the difference though.
Yeah.
It's not like, hey, in two weeks,
this is a planning, we'd have to plan this like a year out
or like nine months out.
Right.
Way out, and then a lot of times.
He could die, Saito could die. No, no, no, no, but but there are restaurants in Japan that no one's calling you
Like hey remind you of a reservation like you make the date. You remember February 22
Show up to be here at 3 p.m
You don't get that and it's very that it And it's very, it's like dining culture there
is very different and very respectful.
Right.
And if I show up and I wear like a Ahi Tona hat,
like, you know, like a little,
I would like look like sushi maybe.
You could look like sushi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
And I would probably do an accent.
I'd do the bow.
That'd be cool.
What are you pitching? What? I'm just trying to get it. So a lot of these top places now are
invitation only because and like what do you mean? Dear Leonardo DiCaprio. No no no. It doesn't matter if you're rich or famous.
You have to be a good diner. It's not about being rich or famous. But who gets invited? Is what I'm saying.
You actually have to be seen as a good diner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Literally earn the right to eat there.
Kamala Harris.
Yeah.
We know that kind of thing.
Something like a Korean accent.
Something like my dad did.
So what I'm saying is you have to get invited.
Yeah.
Okay.
You got to know people.
Oh, you have to know people.
That's fucking not a
really cool way of doing it as a restaurant now. Well it keeps out the riff raff.
It keeps out the influencers. I can't have you in and out.
But it's sort of the same shit that made it in and out popular. There's only one
menu but there's all the secret shit. Right? People want what we can't have.
That's true in human psychology. It's true, especially with rich people. You tell a rich
person you can't have this, I gotta fucking have it.
Yeah, that is weird with human psychology because it's like, even with me now, I mean,
I don't want to cut this out, I don't want to say it. I'll just say it. Um.
What a journey.
What a journey to my mind.
What was I saying?
I forgot what I was saying.
Oh, no, I know what I was going to say.
What I was going to say is that, you know,
the girls that I'm dating, right, they could be the one for me.
But because there's always like women that don't want to date me,
that my eyes are always at some, like in some direction that I can't, that I'm not
there. You know, how do I explain it? No, you're, I didn't make any sense and you
went, um. You're trying to. You have no idea what I was saying, right George? But he
went, um. No, no, no, I get it. I get it. Sushi Sata. Yeah. You have.
That's it.
You have girls that.
You have girls that you can.
Yeah, maybe have a life with.
Settle down with.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that doesn't interest you as much as the girls
that won't give you the time of day.
You want the chase.
Yeah, but once the chase is over, right,
it's the same thing.
It's like a.
It's a.
It's never ending cycle.
It's like drug addiction.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so what I'm saying is that, it's like drug addiction almost. Yeah, yeah.
It's what I'm saying is that maybe that's why you got
to surrender to it and just be like, it is what it is.
Like, yeah.
Right, so if I just go to Austin Abell,
I don't need to go to Giro.
Well.
Hi, Ro.
What?
We're getting some gyros.
Yeah.
Have you been to Austin Able? That's uh, no I haven't yet. I love it. I love good things. It's so good. Um there's great sushi in America. Thank you.
There's great sushi in LA. There's great, I went to one recently, Udatsu that just
opened up in LA in Hollywood. Very good. Uh-huh. There's great sushi in New York.
Getting better. New York probably has better sushi than LA. People are getting pissed off.
No, that's good.
You can say that, that's your opinion.
Well, it's not opinion if it's fucking right.
Interesting.
I like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, but.
Like when people say, well, you know, Godfather's a great,
if someone says Godfather's a great movie,
well, again, that's your opinion.
No, it's a great movie.
It's hands down a great movie. Just because your little cerebral's your opinion. No, it's a great movie. It's hands down a great movie.
Just because your little cerebral mind
can't fucking deal with it or fucking even understand it.
You know what I mean?
Like, have you guys seen it?
You'll never see it because your little cerebral mind
can't even forget your mind about it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but the-
Have you seen it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are you guys doing with your lives?
I know.
Why haven't you seen Godfather?
I just like to watch anime
I know but I'm gonna say something do you like Godfather? I?
Know that's it. Yes. Why do you fucking ask me?
Okay, so so I'm actually really worried about the younger generation
I'm literally 100%
Dealing with for the last three years. What you fucking talking about?
It's really fucking scary. They don't know anything. They don't know Bob Dylan. They don't know nothing. You don't know who Bob Dylan is?
Yeah, we do. Right? No, I don't.
Yeah, we do. Right? Yeah, yeah.
Ask them ourselves. They don't know. Alright, let me, how about this? Let's go. What the fuck's going on?
I'm always working, that's why, so I don't have to...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um...
I feel like you're asking the wrong people too because I know like my friends that are like film
Adics and they love films they probably know most of the stuff, you know, too
Okay. No, it's called being a fucking human being on this planet. Exactly. Exactly. I finally somebody on my side
Come on, man. You won Beatles album
An album something with something with Ali Ali Here comes the sun. That's a song, but an album.
Something with Boulevard.
Something with Ali.
Ali.
And he said Boulevard.
Yeah, and you said Boulevard.
Ali Boulevard.
What a great album.
I'm really sad that we changed the conversation.
Come on, guys.
Abbey Road.
Abbey Road.
Yeah, yeah.
So Boulevard almost, Ali, he almost had it.
You said Road. Right? Road, yeah. No, you said Boulevard. Boulevard almost, Alley, you almost had it. You said Road.
Right? Road, yeah.
No, you said Boulevard. Boulevard.
But it's really Road, and you said Alley.
Road is a legitimate road in London.
Where the studio is at.
Maybe Alley Boulevard is a better album.
I like that one.
Anyway, let's go. It's a black album.
I bet you they don't even know which black album.
There's two black albums, they don't even know. Yeah they don't know. Which are the two black albums that happened the past 30 years?
I don't even know if I know that, dude. You do? I know the first one. Metallica? Yeah. Yeah one?
And? They think Jay-Z's old grandpa. Jay-Z's black album. What's wrong with you? Yeah, what's wrong with you? Yeah, yeah.
They don't know much, but maybe because it's social media, they're just on to other things.
You know all kinds of crazy shit that I have no idea.
Ask them something.
Yeah, you ask them.
Ask us something and then see if we can answer.
I feel like we know how to use iPhones better than you guys.
You guys have...
Just a diss?
No, I'm just saying.
We know how to... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got one. You got one.
If you have a bunch of rowies,
we have the key words
to each different rowie.
Okay.
We're talking about pop culture-y things.
Oh, pop culture.
Do you know who is Brooks Schofield?
Definitely a white person. Yeah. Definitely a white person.
Yeah, definitely a white person. Actor?
No. Okay.
But she's popular. Who is she?
She's an influencer.
Get the fuck out of here.
Who also- No!
No, no, no! Stop, stop!
You can't compare Brooke Schofield
to Bob fucking Dillon!
It just does influence her.
But she also has a podcast that's very popular with Tana Mongeau.
Did she change western culture as we know it?
No!
But also she got cancelled so that's why she's trending too.
Okay.
Alright so give me one.
Flappy Bird.
I think Hybe is the only one that knows.
Flappy Bird.
Is that one word?
Let's spell it.
Flappy Bird.
Flappy Bird.
F-L-A.
Sentence please.
Can I get in a sentence?
Yeah, yeah.
I used to play that game Flappy Bird.
Oh, so it's a video game.
It's an app, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's pop, it's a cultural thing.
Yeah, it was a pop thing, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, everybody played it. Yeah. But it's coming video game. It's an app. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's pop. It's a cultural thing Yeah, it was a pop thing, right? Yeah. Yeah, everybody played it. Yeah, so it's coming back. So because we're so wise
We actually fooled you in telling us what it was
Yeah, yeah, oh flappy bird yeah, yeah that looks like Bob Dylan
So my you know, but what video game does that look like if you're old enough and you pay homage to what all video games came from?
What is that?
Super Mario.
Name a Taylor Swift song.
Super Mario, you know it.
Taylor Swift song?
Name one Taylor Swift song.
She's...
They're huge.
Yeah.
Name one.
1989.

You're right.
Brush it off.

When we were at Chappelle's thing, we did a show, after the show, Dave goes, in my kitchen,
they're making fried chicken and waffles, we were starving.
And it was delicious.
But it was a lot of grease.
And I felt it like, for the first time in my life
I felt it like three, four in the morning.
So yes, very good question.
Answer?
Yeah.
Do you avoid eating food like that?
I mean, when I was younger I could eat that stuff.
Yeah.
You know? Drinking. You know, I could eat that stuff. Yeah. You know?
Drinking.
Oh.

with being drunk.

John Legend and Chrissy Deegans.

And they should have won it.
Look at this team.
Ivy League.
Ivy League.
I know that was going to be Ivy League.
But we actually tried to win it by, Ivy League. Ivy League. I know that was the Ivy League.
We actually tried to win it by, they tried to apply genius analytics and they had figured
out, I'm going to build in teams.
I'm not smart like that.
That's what I should have done.
I'm so dumb.
So I know smarter people, maybe you? The game plan was, so they did a bunch of analysis.
Yeah.
And that the odds were better for us to win
if we tried to intentionally not answer anything.
Wait, whoa.
Depending on the category, four, five, or six.
So if it was like a, like four or five,
then we would try to answer, but anything more than that,
like six or seven in terms of the categories we would try to lose.
So when I went up there, the whole goal, the game plan was like,
I'm going to ring the bell and not answer. Oh, wow.
So I totally like, Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So I wanted her so we could steal. Nobody ever gets it all. all it's like it's so rare that they get all of it. Ah

We we it worked to some degree but you guys got to you wanted I don't know because we broke the game
It was such an ugly game. Oh
that the game. It was such an ugly game. Oh no. That we ran out of time so we only had
25 points to there like 280 something but you need 300 points to go to the
next level. Yeah. So they were like we're going to sudden death. Wow. Even though we had
John's team had 280 points. They should have won. So was he butt hurt? They were. I'd be pissed.
