Thank you, Margaret and I have to say this is that um The reason why I get gaga is because of the fact that I um, I don't know if I'd be doing stand-up without you because I think in the

Mid-90s, maybe 94. I saw you on your HBO special and you were you know, young I'd never really had heard of you before and I was watching you and I go it was the first time you saw somebody that um Asian and also specifically Korean that had a voice that you could relate to, you know Because I had seen Tamayo Atsuki on something and she had a thick accent. I love Tamayo. She's great. She's great She's she's insane and funny. Yeah, I didn't really relate to her and Johnny Yoon was a little way too old for me. He was older, but here's a woman. That's a girl who's Korean who is hip and and

you know attitude and Very American and I was just like oh She's the female version of me and a year later. I started doing stand-up. I love that I love that. It's so nice. I'm so proud of you. Yeah, and you and I are very similar in many we've struggled with things Yeah, that's a different thing That's a different thing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's that? medicine Medicine

Sometimes we need medicine over the years. We've needed it. Yeah, and I'm not yaku ma ni moga sona Many subtitles to edit for Not not go to moga jjigam With the dick Yeah, so you know You just got sober again. Can I say that ask you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sober. What I'm sober lady How did you because you when I met you you were sober? Yeah, I was sober a long time. So what happened? Well, I just Just didn't think that it applied to me anymore

You know after you have a long time without any drugs or alcohol you kind of think Well, I was one of why don't I get to do this, you know, and yeah It had to do actually with marijuana becoming legal for medicinal purposes in California And I became very curious about that and so I got a prescription and then you know They they do say that it's not a gateway drug, but actually for me it is, you know Because I thought well if I do that then everything else I can do also which is drinking and using a lot of different drugs, but You know, it doesn't really work with my

Metiae, you know not not built for that kind of stuff. Yeah I mean, did you right away like you smoked pot and they were like how long did it take you to do other things? It took a while. Yeah, it took a good long while to start doing other things But when I started then I found that I kept just decrease decreasing my need for Marijuana and increasing my need for other things that you know, we're not so positive, you know things like opiates and Benzodiazepines and and and alcohol in combination in concert Yeah, it's not the best And especially if you you like around the early

2000s you could get whatever you wanted online, you know They weren't really regulating anything and you could sort of get whatever drug you wanted including things You know like replicate replicates of quailudes that they're making India things that have no medicinal value, you know at least for whatever it's worth there were some traits of like certain Prescription drugs that I guess would I guess we're of some assistance like Xanax or or Percocet, but you know, like you don't abuse them. You certainly don't take them with alcohol. Yeah

So I just did a lot of that kind of stuff. Yeah, I miss that though Yeah, I got sober in the early 2000s and you told me that when we had we were eating at Greenblats one night about the internet Mm-hmm. I was just like I could have died and maybe because I had a what does this guy named Paul Vato? And he's this fat Mexican dude who he's a second-city guy very talented very funny guy But I would have to he would get I don't know how he got it, but he would come into my house with like 200 Vicodans. Oh, he's a dude in up in a bag though. Yeah, you know me and he was just handed to me I would give him money And then sometimes he would be on the road. I couldn't get any so I had to resort to other things

Mm-hmm, but I if I would have had the internet, I don't know. You don't know how to use a computer though. Thank God for that What do you mean? We were at best by yesterday and I said open a new folder and he doesn't know like basic Yeah, he just iPad and and smartphone. He you're like Hillary bitch She would use those like Blackberries have a staff member by those antiquated blackberries because she didn't know how to do anything else, right? Right? Not even like a desktop. Well, that's what the email stuff was about. Yeah, you know because of her ignorance of technology and stuff, right? So they just kind of went we'll just they didn't know they were doing it. What's it? What is worse that she is I? Let me say this I would be able to fucking figure it out

Okay, yeah, I mean, I it's like it's like you say that you say that I'm I wouldn't be able to figure it out I would call somebody good. How do you do it where I would go dunking come to my house? Get me by gonna? He would do it She provokes me you get mad you get mad you can't get me. I don't know. I love her No, I'm not so pretty. You can't see he only pretends to get mad around people, but he never gets mad I'm never with mad. I mean she sometimes says things that are bothersome You do bothersome things, you know, but I swallow like we've been together long enough to where it's like everything just Like yesterday yesterday, we were I was smoking a cigarette outside. Uh-huh. I Put it out. Mm-hmm. I blew out the rest of the smoke out of my mouth

Yeah, right then I walk in the car and she goes you're trying to kill me, huh? That's not like that.

She's defend. That's good No, my best friend smokes, but she's so considerate about yeah, where she is around me. I will never do This is my longest relationship, that's good. That's good. That's good I've never been able to do before the long relationship. Why not but two years I get um, I Just kind of get not bored, but yeah bored

You know me because there is an excitement as you you know We've talked about it Kalyla and I when you meet somebody for the first time in that initial bullshit fantasy Shit that you go through, right? Mm-hmm, and then six months goes by and you're like, I fucking hate You know, but I never had that with her up with Kalyla. It's been like I want to be with her Yeah, and but it's I mean uncharted territory really to be honest with you. I think that's wonderful. Yeah I mean, you're not in a relationship. No, no, I'm not you're done I think for now. I mean, I enjoy being you know, I haven't been single since I was five years old I've always had

Um, some somebody since I was five. Oh, like we talking about what your brother then.

Yeah, you had broken up first No, there was no overlap. Yeah, we had broken up. We never really broke up, but he moved And so I I met a new guy at my school Because I changed I changed schools. Yeah, because I wasn't in kindergarten anymore

So now I had gone to first grade and I was six and I met a Brian And he and I would play Batman under the jungle gym So we had our area where we were and Yeah, so consistently since five years old. I've had a relationship going You're saying that you you you don't know what it's like to be by yourself single. I yeah, I've never been I mean not well since I was single when I was four

That was a while Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a good forty four years. Yeah, because you What does that feel like when you're finally, you know, oh, it's great. I could sleep in the middle of the bed I inch my body all the way to the middle. Yeah, it's really fun. She does this thing. It drives me fucking crazy I love how he's just I love you. Go ahead. No, it's out of log. No, it's unload. No, I'm just saying she does this thing where Her little fucking jungle toes, right? Can I just ask you a question? I don't want you to agree with me. No, right? No, may I ask you a question Margaret? Yeah, of course. Is the Philippines in the jungle?

Um, there is jungle there. I guess so. Yeah, no, no, there's no guess. I don't know. It's a factual thing We have jungles. Yeah, they have jungles, right? Yeah, and there are people I put them together jungle people The jungle people it's not racism. It's a factual thing. Okay in many way eskimos are snow Asians Right, they're from the snow. Yes, right If that's not offensive But there's something about the word jungle that makes people go crazy

Because you associate it with Probably apes and monkeys and things that are just a little bit like wild creatures And we have a lot of my we're a metropolis manila and severe big cities. There's cities. There's not as I get it There's also tree people though. Yeah. Yeah, there are also tree people Like you see that move that that show body bizarre. Oh Yes, what is that? Oh, I've never seen that word about that. What's your life? It's on I think it's on tlc No, it's on discovery. Oh, it's on discovery and it's people with like You know, I mean, they're born with a mutation. Yeah. Oh, you know, like weird diseases and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

You know, I mean like a guy with his eyes on the back of his head. Oh, wow So he's walking around. Yeah, there's a woman in china who has her feet completely backwards So she's had to learn to walk forward with backwards. Oh, that's so weird. Yeah, that's really weird Oh, I think I've seen that with the guy that is um, his head is upside down. Yeah That guy's so intense. That's so intense Like head like the outside down and it's his whole turn his neck bends backwards. Yeah So he's like like when you're doing a limbo, but an overstretched like oh, shit So his head is like so his neck is like the top of his head

And his head is in the back like it's very intense and then I get suicidal because I have a bad audition Tell me about this. You know, like, I yeah, I'm watching that show last night going. Yeah, what am I? Look at this. Look I can do this. Yeah, Jasper. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, yes that lady in Thailand Thailand She has elephantitis of the arms. Uh-huh. She can't do this. No, she can't She can't and she sells candy on the side of the road. Oh, yeah, like of all the professions Yeah, when you have like the largest hands in the world, maybe not sell like tiny

Oh, that's all man. It's gotta be hard. Yeah Like sell like mammoth tusks Yeah, something rhino horns, you know, something that fits the arms really, to be honest with you Is that rude? Is that rude? No, no, no, I don't I don't think we should do that more as people Compare ourselves like we've got it good. We've got it pretty good I mean even compared to like Koreans in Koreatown like we don't have to work We don't have to work in a store of any kind. Yeah

Um, but I want to make the arc that argument. What? Let me just make the argument. Yeah Is that because people say that a lot like you're lucky You know, you don't get to have you don't have a day job And you don't have to you know work dig holes But it's like digs holes for a job. Whatever I don't know. I don't know what job what hole digger what a construction people do. They dig holes Yeah, yeah, some of them. Yeah, sometimes but also

So as Margaret knows and I'm not I'm just saying that Yeah, it's not as if I won this job In a lottery You know, I signed up. I went through years of struggling just I just want to throw that out there, you know I mean, but also I don't do enough of me going I should just be grateful that I I can breathe And I can see yeah, I can hear. Yeah, we should be grateful for those things Oh that we don't have to work in a piano store in Koreatown

And that was the worst. Yeah, that's the worst the piano store. There's so many piano stores So you could be really aggressive about you know, your pianos And they're all the same. Yeah, also a wig store. Oh Oh, I was I was born in a wig store. Oh, yeah. Wait, what? Okay. Yeah, my pair. I grew I was born inside Literally a wig store. Yeah, and my my cradle Is it what they call them cradle crib crib? I call the cradle the cradle because of the lullabies. Yeah Yeah, the old lullabies and my cradle was in the mannequin Storage room not creepy. Oh my god. Not creepy. Right. So there was like 50 like mannequins staring down at me, right?

And I'm a little baby. Oh my god. Yeah Maybe you're scared of white people. That's right White men just all over you the whole time. That's right. That's right. We're so scared, man. That's why I'm so scared of George all the time and Bryce all the time This guy's like, hello, Bobby. Yeah I'm intimidated by white people because of that experience but um And then I saw did you were your parents violent or or strict in that way? Oh, yeah. Yeah, totally, but then they were

also Pretty busy. So they were more abandoning than they were You know, because they were never around Because they were always working to be done. And when my generation, we never had babysitters So I remember just being alone in a house and I was like five years old, which is so crazy to think about now Yeah, it's crazy to think they are but I was just like by myself Oh my god using the stove and shit. They had they owned a but you had a boyfriend. So I had a boyfriend But they also owned but was it porn?

They had a a gay bookstore which had porn in it, but only gay porn no straight So it was all gay Gay erotic novels a lot of tom of finland picture books and photography books and so there was a lot of Really like confused my mom like looking at these Is You know that

That they would make Like it was hot like physically hot like it burned her. How did two koreans choose that? How did they choose that over? I don't know, but it's like uh, it's like what it's like when philippinos point at things with their lips. You guys Yeah, you guys go Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, they do a lot of that. Oh boy. Oh, yeah. Yeah The worst one they said jugo boy okay, uh What did wait? What is that jugo boy okay? Yeah, which means I'm gonna kill you and then throw you away

Wait, throw you away Yeah, yeah, and as a kid I understood with that man Throw you away Throw you away this pose of your body Dispose of the body. Yeah. Yeah for sure. Like just kill me. You know, throw me away Yeah, but they want to hide the body so they don't go to prison because they're smart Yeah, they're fucking smart. Yeah Um, oh, you know what? I talked about this on a podcast once when like your parents your Korean parents meet like your friend

And they just miss them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is charlie. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. He's a good. Okay. Okay. You know, they don't yeah, they don't even want to lock eyes Yeah, and you know, you know, acknowledge them as a human being. Yeah. Yeah, it's so weird. But um, so they had that Is that why? Because you have a huge lgbt Is that I mean because you talk about that in your bat. Yeah, and I'm also bisexual So that there's also that there there's a lot of that I brought into Which is great about growing up in the gay community because I knew where I

fit in Um, but also like my very early material was about growing up in that gay bookstore And and and being around that and talking about gay stuff Which in the 90s wasn't really Very uh popular for comedians. You certainly didn't see a lot of that Also seeing an asian american woman doing it was so groundbreaking I mean even for me, I went to go see you uh, you're taping for your special in the long beach convention center Oh, wow. Yeah, I think that was in 2008 probably 2008. Yes. Yeah, and

Listening I had brought my best friend jessica with me who had never seen you do stand up for and she's a korean girl and She left there and she was never the same like she thought that she she was allowed to just fuck just about everybody She's always kind of been like, you know, sexually more like conservative and whatnot And you see a what an asian woman talk about it so freely And it kind of just opens you up in a different way, especially for her and I being you know Just young 20-something Asians were always told to kind of be mums the word when it comes to like your sexuality Of course, and it just broke us open like seismically too when we became whores in our 20s

You know, and it was really But I love you, but in a really nice way. Yeah, that's wonderful. That's wonderful I think that's great. I think it's great. I'm free and to feel good about it You know, would that make because I've had Gay experiences would that make me a bisexual or not? Maybe Only if you uh wanted to continue. I don't want to I don't want to I mean, I admit to the ones that I've done, you know, I have no anal

You know what I mean? But I've sucked. No, I haven't but I've sucked a lot of pps but before Before the All right, don't look at me that way before I would the age of 12 13 That doesn't count. Thank you. It doesn't Well, he's lying. It actually went up to like 17 18 according to your brother. No, my brother fucking doesn't know

How could I first of all I was 17 when I got sober the first time and I stayed sober for 12 years. I didn't do it every time I would have Judging. I mean if you did, it's fine. I don't care. It's fine. I don't have you know, it has no bearing on my how I feel about you I know, I know I'll just ask it's nice. You can take as much dick as you want, babe. Okay. I'm cool. It's your voice I'm fine Jesus But you know what when you were talking I was thinking

You see shows now like fresh off the boat. Mm-hmm Ken show. Mm-hmm That doesn't that's to me not Not my experience. Mm-hmm. There isn't a show That shows like because the Asians I hang out with these ones I have hundreds of other ones David chose a good friend. Mm-hmm. My brother's one, you know And we we're more this Your our experiences. Yeah, we need to get something on the air. Yeah that shows that

I would think that you know, it should have I mean it should have happened by now, but we should do it I mean, there's definitely a rebellious streak in people like yourself and me and and of course David And uh, we don't see that yet. Yeah, you know somebody that's just Really, you have to be such a rebel to do to break out of the culture that we come from. Yeah, you know and Even even David like I saw his documentary. I was shocked at how Uh much deference he had for his family and how much of a sort of a church boy like a moksa and names boy Yes, too. Yeah, um, but and to be so incredibly Bold and driven and different and and really irreverent as he is. Yeah

But that's been my experiences with Koreans though. Yeah, but maybe You know, I just have a specific kind of experience because I'm in show business or whatnot and these are the kind of Koreans I meet but generally even before I did comedy The minorities that would meet were more my type. We so you're saying that we're the jungle Asians We're the actual ones from the jungle The guns and roses Not the literal But I want to say something right now and this really made me mad

Can I lean forward? Yeah. Yeah. I've been close to you before. Yeah. Yeah, you can Is Thursday I was reading for auditioning for a movie. It was a stoner movie. It was five lines. Okay. Okay And of course, I'm gonna read for that movie because um, I'm I've really got nothing else going on really, right? I mean, I you know, people know who I am But I'm a cost-and-up and I want to work and you know, so I'm sitting there with these five lines and they're okay lines

And a kid walks in Who's auditioning for the same part? It was Steven Yoon now I looked at him and I go after your audition. I'm gonna yell at you outside Uh-huh. So I took Steven Yoon out there. I didn't yell at him, but I went How do you not get an offer? I know that's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, he's in the the big hottest commodity Hotest show right now. He's so he's a cult. He's in the cultural. He's so cool show. He's I love him. I love him, too I love him and he goes dude. I gotta read. Yeah, we all have to read. Yeah, but if that was a white dude Yeah, yeah, let's be real

This that that would he would not have to deal with that kind of shit. He would not have to read no for five lines No, it's true. It would have been an offer. What he wants to do this movie five lines. Yeah, yeah offer to him. Yeah Yeah, but he had to sign up wait in line and I find it to be fucking Crazy, it's crazy. It's crazy You know, it's like I could understand if it was just if it was me You know, I mean, I had a point where I was hot 10 12 years ago. You know, I do the road. I draw. It's fine I know where I'm at. I'm not complaining. I love where I'm at. I have a great podcast. I have you Margaret's here. I love my life, but I know where I'm at in terms of

You know real like movies and showbiz and all that stuff, right? Him I love him and he's a cultural but he's like that guy from Breaking Bad. What's his name? Aaron Paul. Yeah, Aaron Paul Breaking Bad Lead in movies lead in a tv show. They come out the same level They're both the same thing. They came out the same level. Yeah, I guarantee right now that Aaron Paul would not audition for five lines. They handed to him. Of course not. Of course, they would hand it to him and I mean, it's you know

to Not Think of this as a racist business. It's just it's of course it is it is and the the truth is is that Um, you know, we have to read we have to go in for things and it's shocking. Yeah It's shocking especially for somebody like him Yeah, I thought I can't believe that. I can't believe it either if you guys have to read

I mean shit makes me look like my path is almost impossible. You're never gonna. You're never gonna. I don't think I am now I don't think I am if you guys are fucking reading You're up. Yeah. Yeah down there. I mean, no, I want you to keep going this kid right here I mean, we luckily found him but he is so talented. He's from second city in chicago Awesome, and he's very talented. Um, but it's fucking hard enough. You guys are really shit Well, it's also yeah, go ahead. You know, but it's also that there are Fewer roles for asian americans that that's the other part of it too. And so you're constantly battling people's ideas of what Um, we can do, you know, and it's it's like we have to try to expand it

That's why it's always better to just write your own projects and create your own work And just do stand-up comedy and do different things. It's hard. It's really hard Here's another thing that pissed me off about the audition What In the you know, how you get you get so anyone listening when you get an audition you get a sheet It says where it is at. Who the director is all that fucking bullshit, right? But there's always sometimes every once in a while. There's like a little specific note for you Mm-hmm for me. So attention bobby no accent. Why is it to you?

I don't know, but they were telling it's I This audition wasn't for an asian guy. Mm-hmm. So they had to specifically tell me that I don't have to do an accent As if you as if I was going to come in there go. Hello everybody I'm a stoner You know, they had to specifically give me a note that seems racist to me You hate doing accents. I know it's pretty racist to me, but to read it on the thing and it's specifically say No accent. It's crazy Made me think that they thought that I was going to go in there and just like getty wannabe it

You know, I love getting one. I do too. I love him. He's a sweet guy. I don't know why I just said that No, no, no because of the legacy of long ducked on. Yes, that's why the thing about it is he's really funny I love him. I think he's great. He's a nice guy too. He's a really nice guy But the the fact is that we're not given roles that are Worthy of us. We are constantly having to sort of wade through and do whatever we can Oh when and then when there is a role That's supposed to be for an asian person. They change it. Mm-hmm to a white person. Mm-hmm You know, they did that with 21

They did this one too. Yeah, recently. Dr. Strange. Yeah she uh Uh, contacted me, um That you know This is um, it was uh Uh, mrs. Swan, you know, um, alex. Yeah, alex borstein. Yeah, alex borstein She hooked us up, which is the most ironic She's a white girl. Yeah, right. So she doesn't to me miss swan was hilarious. I think it's funny to me. I like it

I think it's hilarious. Um, so she said is it cool if I give tilde Your number because she wants to talk to you. Oh my god, and I go, okay. All right And uh, so then tilde Well till the email and it eventually emailed me and um She said uh, uh that she didn't understand why people were so mad about dr. Strange And she wanted to talk about it, you know, and I wanted to get my take on why all the asian people weren't mad And you know long conversation And it was so weird, you know, and I I was like

You know, she could you could you please tell them not to be so I'm like, I can't tell Who are the president of all asians? Yeah, well you are you are the president of american division, but it was like, yeah, I don't have a yellow phone under a cake Yeah Don't be mad. Don't be mad Let's just tell them Yeah, we should though have that there should be a yellow phone Oh, yo

And a cake dome. Yeah, I'm nominating her nominating her. Yeah, let's do it. I think everyone with hands down. You're the person Should we call cape? Yeah. Yeah, let's call cape. Let's call cape right now Um, but we had a long discussion and she also wanted me not to tell anybody so don't tell anybody She said don't tell anybody Yes And then I you know, but it was a long like kind of a fight about Why the part should not have gone to her? That's what I thought. Yeah, the part should not have gone to her and uh we had a fight about it and and um

Basically, it ended with her saying well, I'm producing a movie with Steven you and the starring Oh, like I have a black friend. I can see I can do this. Yeah Yeah, I'm producing a film. I'm paying my dues for your um for the asian so therefore I can be them But at least at least she's producing a film with him in it. She was getting it too. I also She was getting it. Does he have to read for it? Yeah, five lines. He has five lines He had to read. She ended up playing the part Hey, Steven, I'm gonna do this now

But uh, it was weird because it was like I felt Like, you know, one of not like like a house asian You know, like I'm like her Servant, you know, like the one like the ones like the when they have like, you know, like whatever in the raj Or whatever they would have like the house servant. Yeah, sort of your confidant Yeah, all those merchant ivory movies and stuff that happened like in india. There was always like the The the sort of servant that was close to you and that's sort of what I felt like like I was following her with an umbrella You know, it goes away. I had a weird feeling about the entire exchange, especially the part of don't tell anybody

It's also this as when you told me about that We didn't get a deep discussion about it, but you mentioned it and I go, oh, they're they're friends Yeah, but now it's not that You didn't know I just made an assumption that you guys knew each other. No, I didn't know and in fact only knew her from alex Mrs. Swan. This is swan. Oh my The other Well, speaking of Mrs. Swan, the reason why I got mad tv

Was because Mrs. Swan was leaving Alex is leaving mad tv, right? So they were like, we need, you know, maybe try an asian Let's try to try to get a new a real asian. This might sound crazy, but bring a real asian So four months into me doing um Being on the show was terrible when I was first on it. It was terrible But I get a call from fox and they said Can you do miss one Play that

And I go No, I will not If number one, I can't And number two, I won't do that and they were like, well, why not? Because it's not my character. Yeah. Yeah, and also that's not what I do, right? But just the idea Yeah, that they were like, you know, he's asian You know, I mean and we own the rights to the character. Yeah, it's like insane So do you sit with all of this, you know lack of rules for asians

Do you sit idly by or do you get loud and angry? Like what is the right? What is the recourse for like at this point? Do you I mean, there's only A handful if you really think about it of people or voices for the asian community that are going to really say it out loud Or a bold enough to say it out loud and you always worry about how is that going to affect your career? In the long run because you don't think that you know being angry is the right route Well, I know that Steven Park Wrote a mission statement. Did we ever read it? You know, Steven Park? Yeah, I love Steven Apparently he wrote a mission statement

And sent a letter out to agents and producers and whatnot about the plight of the asian actor And he was thrown out of LA What year was this that he remember he moved to new york, you know, I mean with um, what's her name? His wife She's a great girl. She was on living color too that white chick. Anyway, he had kids with her But he left LA for years and he came he came back But um, I that's why I haven't been vocal Because when I found out that he got thrown out Like he couldn't get auditions. That's crazy. Yeah, that I was afraid to say anything, you know, now that I'm not working really that much

It's about being funny about a two which is so great. Yeah, you take it and talk about it in your stand. I do. Yeah, you're really funny Yeah, that's the right. I think of course of action because you could just make it part of your work And that's hilarious and then also gets the point across also. I'm not that angry Here's my my point of view is that I I'm it it hurts a little bit, you know, it's it's racism. I think it's racism but because I've made a living maybe it hasn't I haven't felt The real you know, I feel more bad for

younger asian kids, right That you know me want to make a name for themselves and it's just harder But I felt like I've did a couple of hurdles over it You know Margaret first sent them up. She jumped over. I jumped over a couple, right? And I feel like it's getting a little better even though all these things are happening. Yeah, you still have Steven Yoon You still have fresh off the boat is a popular show. It's a network show Randall's a great guy Ken it's an asian show So these are things that are obviously

new So I guess in that way, I'm not furious over it and it's getting better and certainly what's greatest that we have stand-up comedy Which is the best because you can do whatever you want And it's incredibly gratifying. You make good living and I I'm just really pleased that I started off doing comedy You know, that's it right there. That's the best. That's the fucking shit right there man. What did you say? I just I'm gonna fucking hit you in the fuck You're absolutely right. Yeah You know the other night I made a couple a month ago not the other night a month ago

The lineup was me you Ali Wong and Steve Byrne on the same lineup. That's so cool. It wasn't an asian night It was sold out like great other what the comics were on it But we were like in the meat of the show the lineup and that for ask Ask any comic that were it was asian like Jackson Perdue who's not really that asian, but you know, I mean, you know Jackson Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's great back in the 90s And there's no way that would happen back then or no, no

No, this was the first and also kind of the very casual not big deal It wasn't an asian show We just happened to be there and I mean it's so great and ali is so fantastic It's so funny and it's such a funny funny lineup. Yeah, you know really really awesome. Yeah, they're not they're all In their own way strong Comics, right? They're not like, you know back in the 80s. I'm not gonna name names But I know that there were regulars at the store that were asian They would just put them up just because of the color of their skin because they want to try to diversify

The lineup, but the person sucked sucked. Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna name any names But you're looking at me like I know the name I want to but I'm not going to And this was not that this was People that were like, oh, no, these are the best people that called in. Yeah, these are great comics. Yeah, they're really great comics Yeah, it's amazing. It's really amazing. Yeah, but that other stuff it hopefully it changes I think so. I think that also

People will look at what you're doing in like what ali's doing and it ignites a whole another generation Of people who are very excited about comedy and they want to go into comedy They don't want to think about acting. They won't not thinking about anything else. They just want to be stand-up comedy. That's really cool Yeah, I do every once in a while How will have an asian kid Go, you know, I'm doing it because you know, I saw you whatever Yeah, and you go really? Yeah But it's great. Yeah, it is, you know, my a reality, you know, I'm not getting my head out of proportion

What do you mean? I'm not getting ego right now. What did I give you a look? No, I just don't want I don't want She doesn't like when I'm me. Well, you know what me. Well, you know me. Well, yeah Yeah, when I'm like he thinks when he has moments where he thinks he's a korean Elvis Oh, you're better I'm much better than Elvis. No, but everyone's will sometimes I'm in korea town Yeah, right, and I'll you know, I mean shot your name out and then I'll give her winks Like if I take some photos and I'll give her a wink and it drives her crazy I'm killing it right now, right? Yeah, you're always killing it, but you're better than Elvis. Oh, thank you. Yes

um I I just want to ask about this next thing Did you did you date tarantino? You did right? Yeah. Oh He's come by the comedy store too. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's great. He's no I love him. I'm he's my favorite Director, he's amazing. I really believe that. Yeah, I mean That the that's I asked her that first scene in englorious bastards between um, chris, uh, christoph waltz christoph waltz and that the family farmer

Yeah, it's so great. So good. So great. I could watch it a million times. Yeah, he's a great director. He's great But that was um, when you were on american girl, I know which I also want to talk about Was that must have been a crazy time for you? I mean you're young. Yeah, I was super young I didn't really know what I was doing. I mean, it's It's good. I mean, we we we had a really hard time. You know, it was a hard show to do Why there was a lot of um, it was uh, the first time you would see, um Koreans in entertainment, um after

The la riots the la riots was a very big deal for koreans and um So koreans were very paranoid about their image and so there was like all of this alarm about it and um, all the moksa names and everybody They were like really concerned about how they would look and they didn't like me because I was a stand-up comedian I wasn't a man I was very dirty. I was talking about gay stuff. So I was not The kind of image that they wanted to promote and then the show was on such a very big You know, it was a on a very big platform because at that time there was only four networks What network was this on this was on abc. Oh, shit. So it was a very very big deal and um, so the korean community

Felt like very invested from the start, you know, and then one of the problems was we didn't have all korean actors Which was very hard to do. You know, we tried to do that, but let me see this right now No, I wasn't I wasn't even doing comedy at the time But I've tried to cast like I had a deal at comedy sensual. I had my own show I tried to cast my mom and dad. We couldn't find anybody. It's really hard. It's really hard. I mean you use Clyde, right? Clyde, yeah, I love him. He's great. He's great. Right. Clyde was the dad. Yeah, Clyde was the dad He's super talented. He's really talented. He was on um, he's he's actually had a very very long-stored career He was on like hawaii 5o and uh, quincy. Yeah, and uh, he's in a great action movie called the choir boys

He's in a lot of like 70s action films like really goes all in star trek and some shit that I love Yeah, yeah a lot of great shit. Yeah. Yeah, really really great and jody long was a mom. Amy hill was the grandmother. Love her She's so I love Amy. I love Amy. She's Filipino though, right? Oh, she's half Japanese and half Finnish That's how you get a Filipino Is that the concoction? That's the concoction Interesting, right? Um, we had BD Wong. Um, and so so there's only one real korean in it Yeah, and so that was a big problem, but then we really couldn't cast any korean actors Because they were all already working on other stuff, right or they weren't in the right age range

We were looking sure sure and so it was very difficult. Oh my god I can only imagine everybody else that all the korean actors were either like very Serious theater actors who had never done comedy. There were no comedians So if you were to do it now, oh my god, you would you would be able to cast it right away? Yeah Yeah, you could cast a lot. I think you'll be able to do it. I think so for sure But back then it was really very very hard. So you had that against you. Yeah People were like freaking out about that. It was freaking out about that and then we had um

A kind of a weird mixed bag of writers one of which turned out to be a murderer Oh, one of the writers ended up killing his wife It was super weird That's why the show didn't work out He killed his wife and put her body in the closet until it had mummified And so we just didn't have the best writers And he was our show right now, right it must have been talented It was it was super weird the other show that he went to work on was the bill cosby show the second one

Not the first one. Yeah the next one. Yeah So he did it at not during your show, but during cosby era. Yeah, right during the cosby era He killed his wife. So but that was just sort of the caliber of people And it was just very strange. Yeah, it was very very strange and also you were did they make you lose weight, right? Yeah, they were alarmed at how fat I was which I actually looked back and I actually wasn't you weren't no I wasn't but it it was that I wasn't television then and they were already so Invested in this idea of like the kind of asian woman. That's like hot too This is fucking I just fucking yeah, it's like what the fuck. It's crazy. You got it now

It's changed. I mean like when crista Alonzo. What's her name? Cristela Cristela Alonzo. Yeah got her show Yeah, I mean she's she's always looked like that, you know, and she's yeah, she's great. I love her Yeah, super funny, but they didn't force her to to lose weight. No, it seems like an absurd thing to ask now Yeah, it is. Oh, it is. Yeah, but I think they that it still happens to some degree Yeah, you know in in television for sure and in film, of course if it's if it's like an ncis You know, Louisiana or something and some girl is supposed to be like a detective. Maybe Yeah, in that in an action situation, but in a comedy. No, no, it's crazy. It's crazy It's really crazy, but uh, so I was just distracted by that and um,

I remember like getting very sick. I was I was dating Garrett Wang Um, who was Sulu from next generation. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not the first Sulu, but I worked a lot with George, I still work with George sometimes, but um, no, I dated uh, Garrett, so I remember, um, I lost so much weight in such a fast period of time that I was urinating blood Oh, and it was like horrible and like Garrett. I was like screaming at Garrett to do something. I don't know what he could do Let's go

You know hyperspace. So you basically went into like renal failure. Yeah. What were you doing to diet? Just I was not eating. I was doing a lot of a fen fen at the time, which is a drug that has a upper and a downer component It's illegal now because it's just caused a lot of people heart failure But um, it you just didn't eat food. It was really bad And that could what probably been the very early part of my drug addiction Was uh to that drug and and having to really control my body, you know, it was I I just was terrified of losing the show So I just did whatever I could to lose weight and then that drug was out and then um

The studios you could get those drugs right by because uh, Disney was right by all these sort of crooked doctors row and so I would go there and a lot of the um Like different shows would go where they would send um PAs down there to pick up drugs Oh my god for your show just PAs would do that shit. Yeah, they would go pick up drugs in many ways So it was like the producers and people all knowing Is that what you're saying? They wouldn't know necessarily, but you could get you can get a PA to go do make a run Yeah, yeah, and um, you know, because I was having all this trouble losing weight

And it was uh the order of people who let me know There's this doctor down here who can Ah, and so because I was struggling to get into these clothes that were so tiny and then also the fashion in the 90s Was for women to be incredibly thin. Yeah, I'm not forgiving at all No, so that was part of the that was the era of that as well Do you did you have a bad relationship or a good relationship with gail burman? Who's gail burman? I had a good relationship with her, but I was the executive producer I felt bad for her because she was the one who had to tell me that I was fat

She didn't want to do it. I bet she would yeah, she didn't want to do it. She's not skinny. No, and she was so upset Shot's fine, but she was so upset and I feel bad because it's not really her fault. She was just a messenger Yeah, you know, and I never really got to make that right with her. I never I haven't seen her. So I don't know But she's great. Yeah, I mean she was the president of fox when I was on mad Yeah, she was the one where okay, so that girl that girl that I brought to the up front So I met this girl. She wanted to be a comedian, but she had never done stand-up before And I wanted to have sex with her, but she didn't she wasn't attracted to me Basically, but she was using me to go to the fucking new york. Oh, well, that's right. Yeah, right. So she's she's like

I want to make it, you know, and um And the first night we were there. I tried to make a move. Yeah, I just want to be friends So now I have this girl in my hotel room for two days at the up front so we have this gigantic dinner at You know some fucking gala thing and all the key for southern and everyone's there, right? Because they're all in fox shows So we all have tables and I don't know where she is Like I look up to my left

And I see her from across the fucking banquet hall. Yeah, she's giving her a fucking business card to gail berman I'm a comedian Right and I you know, my brother's rage. Yeah, you had rage. Oh my I fucking grabbed her wrist Come on. I'm sorry gail. Come here You know, man, and I fucking dragged her back like an animal I go if you know, babe, you don't fucking the president of fox You don't That's not how you make it

You don't go to the president of fox Which sort of eat dinner and give her a fucking business card A headshot would have been worse. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh, she would have died You would have killed her. I would I would have taken a fuck. I would have killed her. I would have been dead You should have just completely disassociated. Oh, I don't know that girl. You didn't have to now Oh, and then she can't go. What table is she at? Oh, she's at the mad tv table with who bobby lee. I'm fucked Also, they're just friends.

She's great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but um, let me tell you something right now I just you know how I met Margaret. No Do you remember how How did we meet? I thought it was comedy show.

So awkward so awkward like I wish I didn't do that You know, so at the end of our episodes, we have a Email that would they ask us questions. Oh, okay. Yeah, thank you on hopeful advice with barbie kalayla and tilda swedens best friend Hi, I listened to your show every week. I recently moved to ukm now. I'm engaged and married to an english guy We've only been dating for nine months and getting married in march and his family freaked out and thought it was too soon They decided to do a google search and found out I used to be a webcam model And now they disowned their son and want nothing to do with both of us

I feel bad because he's always been the perfect boy honor student best university and great job. Please help. Please help from lila So I guess trying to win the parents affection. Oh If they're not happy that she's a webcam model and she was one right was one they googled her. Yeah Why would they I mean, why would they but why would I mean why would peak their interests matter? Yeah Why would that matter? Yeah, and she's making money. Obviously. Yeah, it's also not porn. No, I mean, no, I mean Porn's fine. I think porn is fine. I think it's fine But it's not porn. No, it's her naked like in front of a camera wanting to make up Dude, let me tell you something right now. If I was a female and I was hot. That's all I'd be doing

I'd have a fucking just a camera on my vagina the whole time Dollar bills just being changing. I mean, I don't give a fuck But so what she saw her parents like, yeah, which Like her boyfriend's parents for how do you confront that? Like I love you I think that she should stand her ground and I don't think that she should waver and be apologetic about what she does I think that's only going to put her in a in a not in a You know what I mean? Like She does what she does for a living for money. She's a good girl. She's a good person. The guy loves her

There's nothing else to it. But yeah, and if the parents are too concerned to tarnish their image They can go fuck themselves and if they're willing to lose a son and a daughter in law from it That that's that's a kind of family that you don't want to impart in yeah Yeah, you know, I would think that that would be reasons to leave the family. That's horrible. That that's my gut This is cut ties cut ties Just get out because there's obviously nothing because that's just the beginning Yeah, well, she can do good go to med school and try to prove him wrong. Right. Yeah. No, right It's also if they're that, you know, like

Like that picky and that like we're judgmental in that way. I don't want to be a part of that. Yeah, it's gonna get worse later Yeah, way worse. Yeah, so break up with her boyfriend With his fiance with her fiance. No, I think that he should probably just stand firm and man up and say, hey This is the woman. I love that's what that's what it is. That's what yeah I'm sorry. Tell your boyfriend to man up. Yeah. Defend you got to defend Because if my mom let me tell you something right now when barack obama ran The first time I told them to vote for obama. They were the republicans They go vote for them a brock. Okay, like my parents

Yeah, I have my parents on lockdown if my parents ever said anything about kalilah They would they know that they'll get it. Oh, yeah Yeah, because you're not gonna tell me, but your parents are also very reasonable people. They know They're not reasonable. I have a leash. I just train them. You have to you train them. You have to train korean parents You do right? You have to yeah, because if you don't then they have weird ideas about life Yeah, but then like the thing about like recovery though like in therapy though Like my parents really want to be supportive of my life. You know now, but then they didn't want to go to therapy And they they couldn't make up any more excuses. So they went to korea

Hey, what they were like I was like trying to make a therapy appointment with them. Yeah, and they're like, okay. Okay, but we have to Go to korea forever. We have to go to korea And then so they like bought themselves like a month done by going to korea. That is so fucking funny. They'll go that far. Yeah, they'll go to korea We cannot wait to go to korea Really last minute Then though they just got back so now they have to go to therapy now. They can't go again

Yeah, but even when you were both getting sober before they never went they went and they really hated it I'm sure they did yeah Because they were like so freaked out by the process because they could like Korean people don't talk about their feelings At all like even to the like there's bad like There was like this suit. I remember the sky like This family had gotten like a white carpet. This is a family like in our We're not real related to them But they were like family in our their class have coming over to America. They got a white carpet and one of the

Um dads killed himself shot himself and the Korean guy Korean guy the blood got all over the carpet And they didn't do anything about it. They cleaned it as best they could but they just left the stain They just kind of just left it. They don't like to talk and nobody ever talked about What you know, and we just hop over this red like stain Yeah, there would be this this blood stain. Yeah, and then you just yeah Nobody would do anything Yeah, they didn't even move the couch over to cover it. Oh my god That's what it is. They just don't talk about problems. Don't like because when I was growing up

My parents didn't never my relatives thought I was dead Yeah, they just would never talk about me because I was such a fuck up You know, they don't want to they're not real in that way. Yeah confrontational in that way, you know Like when I you know, I already talked about like when I told my dad that was molested at rehab. He laughed Yeah, I mean because they just don't know how to they don't know how to deal with it. Yeah, they don't know how to I have no tools and when so there's like, you know a therapist trying to get them to Equip themselves with tools or to talk about even that process. They can't yeah But why is that because it's cold. It's got obviously it's cultural, right? Yeah, it's cultural

But what are they rate in Korea? There's no therapy. No, there's there's um mental health. There's homes Like I have a cousin who's continually tried to commit suicide And then like her mother just moved into the hospital with her like it wasn't it was like We're not gonna deal with this in therapy. Like I'm just gonna also be crazy too and try to pretend I'm more crazy than you like it's like this Crazy really crazy crazy thing the mom actually died just recently like the stress level of it Was so intense and then my mom couldn't even really talk about her at the funeral. Like my mom said she looked very That's kind of all they can say, you know, there's emotional pain, of course

But there's very they can deal with it by getting drunk and crying and then there's a sad Korean movies and these concepts Of revenge But not real like therapy Why is revenge it because they made those series of movies about revenge like old boy and all the like Other one. Mrs. Uh snow something or other But like if there's a lot of revenge movies out of korea because there's no concept of Getting through it with tools or therapy or forgiveness even no forgiveness only revenge Wow, she's a skip forgiveness. Yeah, it's all it's all revenge based because that's the only way they can do to equalize

the situation Speaking of korean movies margaret you have if you haven't already seen the wailing you have to oh, okay Oh, it's It's uh, it's set in rural korea and it's um, it's so good Devils and shamans and zombies and just about everything everything but it's funny It's real. No, it's not it. No, but you said it in the wrong. I love you an easy great movie But the devils and zombies are interpretations, but it's played really dark and real It's very real, right?
