I know. It pisses me off. When did you move to the States? Two years ago. Well, actually, when did you move to Vancouver from China? When I was 10. So 10 years you spent in China. Yes.

Can I guess the city? Yes. Please guess. From my vibe. I think you grew up in I'm pretty sure it's in the Szechuan province. Oh No, it's not no no definitely no it's definitely no chance Do you know China well, I'm there twice a week no

You know Koreans better Koreans I do Koreans are where I that's where I really lay my groundwork with the Asians. And Japanese, by the way, I'm open. There's not a lot of Japanese people around. In your life. Well, where are they? I don't know where they are. Do you know a lot of Japanese people? Not at all.

No, see I don't meet any in LA. And I know they're here. Where are you guys hiding? They're good at hiding. They really are. That's their skill. No, but I love Japan. I love Japanese people. I just don't know. All I know is Chinese and Korean people. And comedy is mostly Chinese and Korean. Is there Japanese comics?

There are Japanese comics. There's Atsuko. There's Fumi. I don't know Fumi. There's Dylan Adler. Dylan Adler? That's one of ours. That's one of ours. He's half. Yeah, that's one of ours.

I don't count that. OK. No, no, no, no, no, no. Not in the same. Dude, that's so funny. If you're half black, you get the black part. You know what I mean? But if you're half Asian, you're the you're white.

You're a white guy. Yeah. If you're half white, half Asian, you're fucking white. I do agree with you. You're white. Yeah. You most Asians don't want that. They're like, get out half Asian, you're fucking white. I do agree with yeah, you're white. Yeah. Yeah you most Asians don't want that They're like get out of here. You're a half and they lean in really hard on the Asian and it's like

It doesn't work. Yeah. Well, because what is it? We Dylan? What's his name? I don't want to slander the man I don't know this person. Yeah, but every kid I knew I knew a couple kids growing up that had like mixed parents Asian white and Asian and It's always Always that the mom is Asian and the dad is a white is Dylan's that or whatever probably yeah Yeah, it is that's always that's every half person. I know I've never seen the other way, and I really want to see it That's the unicorn of relationships. I want to see I know I want to see the old Chinese man with a young white chick from Indiana. Yeah, it's usually a very, I've seen it and it's usually a very beat down Asian guy with like a very, a white woman that looks really loud.

That's mean. It looks like a lot of Karen would be in the, yeah right. What do you mean beat down Asian guy? Like he just looks like he's been through the mud. Yes. Life hurts. Yeah, like she yells at him a lot. She's very demanding and wearing glasses She won't even let him get contact. I know no put on your glasses. Yeah now. Yeah, you have to look I Don't know worse. I don't know your parents. Do your parents want you to marry a Chinese boy or no? They don't care. They just want me to at this point, they just want me to be married and have a kid.

But you're so young. What are you, 24? I'm 28. Oh, 28? Yeah, you're like, oh, okay, yeah. No, 24. I thought you were 24, 25. In my mind, I assume that's how old you were. Just on your timeline, I don't know you very well. I think you're very funny and you're new to me in the comedy world. Obviously new here in the States only a couple of years, but you're very talented. And it's funny that when I see young people coming up,

I'm always like, where are they in their life? Which is why that's interesting. You're 28 and you're so, so young and your parents are already like, do it, but you're just start really getting into your career. I know, I'm not ready for what they're telling me to do. Back off, mom and dad. Yeah, but my mom was like,

well, I was your age when I had you. And I'm like, okay, but this was like 30 years ago. Right, things are different now. Yeah, and also you don't have a career. Like she doesn't have a career. Would you talk to her like that? She's failed, yeah. You would say that to her?

I would, no. You'd go, well, you don't have a job. Well, kind of, I will be like, but our lives are different. Right. I'll say that. I guess that's the polite way of saying right That's all Chinese passive aggressive. Yeah, you're not you don't have a job, but you say to her Uniquely we're different. I'm doing my own thing. Yeah, you didn't get to do your own thing. She was raising you Yeah, how many siblings well, I I'm an only child. I was born under the one child policy. God bless China by the way

Well, I I'm an only child that was born under the one child policy. God bless China, by the way Shout out China. Keep that going dude. Love that. They lifted it because Them they projected if we kept going that way Chinese people would be extinct. Oh, so they're self-extermination Yeah, so that's why so they got rid of the one child policy for that reason. We don't want to be extinct, but isn't it? But isn't it isn't it that it's only so many boys and so many girls? Isn't that something still? Or no? Wasn't it you're not allowed to have more than One.

One child in general? Yeah, one child in general. It's not male or female based too? Well, every family has preferences. Every family prefers a son. Well, as the world does. They're just honest about honest about that's why so many There's so many like adopted Chinese girls I should adopt the Chinese girl shouldn't I you should I should help out a little China

Imagine a little Chinese girl growing up with a red-headed me You are a little Chinese girl, I can't adopt you 28 though.

It's mostly Vietnamese Vietnamese And they're like all gangsters and I was like drinking in the park, smoking weed in the car with them and shit. You were a troubled kid. Yeah. You were a little bad kid. Well, because I had nobody. Right. You had streets of Vancouver. Yeah. Vancouver, for the record, for people

that don't know, is a very beautiful night city. This isn't like a tough, tough area. I love it. Yeah. There is no like, like you had no risk of walking home at night, it's not like that. Like Vancouver's safe. No, I was walking alone home at night from the mall at when I was like... 15? 13, 14. Yeah, can't do that in the States anymore. That's gone. Yeah. That's gone. That's so funny. That's like a gone... I think Vancouver's still safe now, but it's just more congested than it ever was when you were a kid probably Yeah, and like Chinatown's pretty sketchy You'll get stabbed there if you if you walk home too late at night Why cuz they're just because they feel like stabbing yeah, these Chinese get stabby in this

I don't know what's going on in this day and age. We get stabbed. That's what Trump was really is I get you they're stabbing Everyone in Chinatown. That's the problem. They're getting stabby So they want you to have a kid, but you don't talk to your dad. Mom, you talk to. She wants you to have a kid in the family. I don't even know why she wants me to have a kid. Like, what would that even do? Would she even see the kid? Would she come down to LA ever or no? Well, she'll be like, I'll raise the kid if you don't want to raise it. I'm like, you didn't even raise me. I don't trust you to raise this kid. Yeah, I don't trust this at all. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know. I think she just wants something to happen

I think she's bored. Do you see her for the holidays? No, we don't celebrate Christmas Really? Yeah Wow. Yeah, we just don't- you your family specifically. Chinese people love Christmas. Do they? Yeah I've never- yeah Well, they love the the gift-giving part the shopping and gift-giving part of it Well, not like traditional Christmas, but the time of year Yeah, I don't know I I've never met a Chinese person that loves Christmas or at least like from mainland China because my family is extremely Chinese

You're very Chinese. Yeah, like my grandparents they got their stuff taken away from them from From like communists yeah the revolution and my and we immigrated yeah quite late so why did your mom move cuz she she was like we can't do this anymore she just wanted to have a better life you know yeah Vancouver snowy mountains it is beautiful wait what part of China are you from again I didn't know yeah Shanghai that's it's too easy I didn't easy. Well, I didn't want to guess it because it's so obvious. Yeah, that's I didn't I wanted something more exotic I know. Okay. Let's make it up. Let's lie. I'll give it to you though Yeah, because my family my mom's family and my grandparents who raised me they are from Northeast China

So that's kind of exotic. Yeah, that's and I'm I look more northeastern Chinese. What is the difference? We're taller. Yeah, you're tall for a Chinese person. Exactly, we're taller and we're like good-looking. I don't know why I did that. I watched your brain search for how to say nicely that you're like, we're... Yeah, I don't want to say some shit about myself, but I mean, you know, you're pretty. Thank you Yeah, you so you're saying everyone so what androgen is saying right now is everyone from South China is ugly and she's beautiful her words not mine Is North Chinese or they're prettier traditionally? Is that the deal? Okay. Okay, why is this? I don't know, maybe the like...

Well whoever they conquered. The rapings? Yeah. Can I say that? Yeah! That's the whole world by the way. The rapings. Yeah, there it is.

Like it's like in Europe how Scandinavians or whatever are very beautiful. It's wherever the Vikings went to rape people. Well that's where they housed all of their vibes. Yeah. Up north, yeah. That's what the Vikings went to chill And then they spread and ruined everything and then they came back home. Yeah, so that's where all the beautiful That's all the beautiful people are no, but it is crazy though that it is funny to me because I've had this conversation with friends about like

Bobby and I talk all the time about you know because the the inner war between Asians is very funny that Americans don't have that you guys have in a way that like, the way that Japanese feel about Chinese, the way the Chinese feel about Koreans, the way that South Japanese people feel about North Japanese people is also very... Like there's a lot of like, I don't know what it is. There's so much snootiness amongst Asians. Amongst Asians in general.

And then there's Filipinos and you guys don't care about them at all. Nobody talks about them. That's so mean. It's crazy. It's so funny to me. I honestly forgot until you said just now. That they were Asian? And Indians you don't count at all. You know. That's so funny to me too. Like poor India. Just secede. It's like Texas. Just do your own thing. Well, they're their own thing. That's the thing.

But they are Asian. Yeah. Technically. Technically Russians like Texas. Just do your own thing. Well, they're their own thing. They are their own thing. But they are Asian. Yeah. Technically. Technically, Russians are Asian. They are. Yeah. So, but they're their own thing. They are their own thing. They don't fuck with us. We don't fuck with them. And it's like... You don't like them at all?

No, no. It's more just, it's not even a thought in our mind. Right. That's like me thinking about somebody from Mississippi. That's no knock on Mississippi. I just don't. Yes. I don't know anybody there. I don't have never really. It's not part of your life. That's not there. It's not there. Yeah, so we're too busy like hating on South Asian Chinese people or West Chinese people or like Japanese people or Korean people. Right. You know. No, that's true. Well you hate, hate well you guys hate you hate Koreans the most well you do do we yet maybe probably there's a combat there's a silent war do you go back to China ever

no I do but I okay in America I feel like I'm so Chinese no actually that's not true in Canada I feel like I'm so Chinese in America I feel like I'm so Chinese. No, actually that's not true. In Canada, I feel like I'm so Chinese. In America, I feel like I'm so Canadian. And in Asia, I feel like I'm so American. Wow. You don't fit in anywhere. No. Where do you feel at home? Do you like it in Los Angeles or no?

I feel at home in Los Angeles. You do? Yeah. Yeah, that's good. It's been two years. But do you miss Vancouver? I miss it a lot, but it's so boring. It is? It's so beautiful, but it's so boring. It is.

It's so beautiful, but it's like- There's nothing going on. There's nothing going on. And is there a good scene up there to start? Cause you started comedy there, so is there a good scene there or no? It was amazing when I started, but we had two clubs in the city

and then they both shut down. And then when they both shut down, I was like, I gotta leave. Was it COVID that closed them or no? It was COVID and then there were these two brothers that fought each other that owned the club. And then they, in the feud, they were like, well, shut down your comedy club.

And he's like, okay. And so out of spite that our comedy club got closed. That sucks. Yeah. That's like last night, I was talking to a friend about, there's a restaurant on the east side here in, I want to say it's Los Feliz, it's called Little Dom's. Oh, I love that one. Oh, okay, right, yeah. So there was an original place called Dominic's that was on 3rd Street, was it on 3rd or Beverly? No, it was on Beverly, behind the hospital, and it was so good. And that's part of the original Dominic's was, Little Dom's was a branch of the original

one, and I don't know if this is true, but the rumor was the two guys couldn't decide on who was going to take it over or sell it or all this nonsense, and so they were like, whatever, we'll just close it then. Because I think one of the other guys owned the other one, and they just shut it down. And it was one of my favorite, one of the other guys owned the other one and they just shut it down and it was one of my favorite One of my like favorite LA spots see this is the problem when money gets between friends and all that shit It goes downhill. I know that's why with me and Bobby. I don't pay he doesn't get paid at all Get zero money, which is the best I'm robbing him blind Little fucking dirty little Dirty little Korean.

Dirty little Korean. That'd be so funny if you named your album Dirty Little Korean, just because you're Chinese. And I'm not even. No I'd love that, I would love that so very much. But you know some people say Northeast Chinese people have some Korean in them because of proximity to. Well that's close, yeah you're really close.

It's a little hop, skip and a jump. Yeah and I hate that. Would you ever date a Korean guy? Yeah, but they're so filled with rage. They're angry. I love it. That's why I connect with them. They're so angry.

Are you angry? No, I just have like a Irish and Italian has like an aggressive soul. Yeah. Like, okay, because our people, you know, Italian has like a aggressive soul. Yeah. Like, okay, because our people, you know, my grandfather was a firefighter. You know, their dads were like farmers. These are just like blue collar broken back people who just kind of have a little bit of like fuck the man inside of them a little bit. Yeah, it's kind of like wholesome rage.

Nothing's going to happen. It doesn't want to hurt you. Yeah. But it's mad at the world. Yes. Like I get frustrated very easily with stupid shit. And I need to, as I get older, I've gotten better. But yeah, Koreans, yeah Koreans have that.

Bobby, Bobby's gotten rid of it, I think, through his process of like therapy and life. But he had a, you know, he has an anger thing too. He still, there's still something in there though. He loves revenge. Oh my God. In a way that. Oh my God.

But hey, I love revenge too, so we bond over that. That's the North Chinese in you though. That's the skip over Korean blood. I know. That leaked over into North China. I have so much revenge in me. So you wanna take people out. There's someone, is there someone right now

on your mind that you can think of the name, you don't have to say it, someone that you really hope you, sees you excelling in your career and it's kinda like a big fuck big fuck you to them. That's so many. That's so great so Did I hope you blow up so big just to shove it in their fucking face Thank I don't have that thing inside of me of I'll prove you wrong, but Bobby has it Oh, he has an nth degree and when he talks about it It's a I kind of love to support it because I don't have There's not like one dude or one girl or someone. Oh, that's not there is a person that I'm thinking of now that

Well, there's one person that Was in a position of power when I was starting my career Yeah, try to deny me something but she was vetoed like it got her voice was not heard because it was Not her decision to be made And now she's still working fucking in our business, and I've managed to go my own way anyway But it is there is someone that I'm annoyed that I'm like I don't know why you never fucked with me or why you were trying to had a personal thing against me But I'm doing just fine lady Wherever she is.

Fuck her. Yeah, fuck her. Bitch. Bitch. Fucking bitch. See, I needed you to say it. That makes me feel really good. She knows who she is.

No, but I don't have that, I don't really have that thing where I'm like, I'll prove you wrong, but that is a quality of that. What motivates you? Wanting to, okay, what motivates me to continue my career is that I know in my heart it's literally the only thing that I can, that I'm good at. I'm like from the bottom. Like I don't think I could go do... Me too. I'd eat shit at other stuff and I'd be really sad. Okay, so there.

And I'm also like, you know, I'm sad, and not sad but I have depression and this is the best way to Like spill it out. Yes, it feels really good. Yes, and that's what motivates you. Yeah Yeah, we're similar in that right wanting to because we're father and daughter. You're my daughter. You are my daughter now Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, this is gonna be like the Woody Allen and soon Did you hear about Santino? That was crazy. Dude, he adopted her? What an insane, blew up his whole life to adopt her?

No, we have this kin, that is a kin thing. I want, so I know, I think I would be bad at a lot of other stuff. And I know how much I like this. And I've tried other stuff. And I was bad at it. But you're good at this. Yeah. So that's all that matters. Good in a way that I don't even have to try very hard. Okay that's

see that's offensive and I like that. I like the confidence that is fucking brash dude. But you know what it only gets harder that's what's kind of I think people think that it gets easier as you get older in the game and the irony is it gets harder. Really? In the sense that you find your voice quicker, you understand what your comedic world is, right? But you still have, like what's happening behind you is that everyone's working as hard as they can to get into your position. Not to bump you off, but someone else wants to also be selling tickets at a different level, touring, you know, getting yeah, everyone's fighting below you that's hungry So if you get things and you become complacent

That's when it gets used you can kind of you know it kind of dissolves so you Oddly enough you have to work harder when you start to make it to stay up and relevant and also good Because you can get lazy and not right and not go out and not work And you could just rest on your laurels and and then fucking 10 years later, you're like, oh shit, the world passed me by, because the game keeps changing. Right. Stand Up is a... I've been in it since 2006, 7,

and I've seen it shift so many times. Yeah. And you keep getting little ups in each little section, and now life is good, but I mean, if I stop working now or stop going and trying and writing you can disappear tomorrow yeah because there's so many people that are hungry below you that's true and the momentum of the beginning is so it carries you through it's pretty integral yeah you have to like focus on

it and do it yeah like do you get like what's your do you have do you have bad vices are you a bad girl like do you do shit you have do you have bad vices? Are you a bad girl? Like do you do shit that you're like, you know, this gets in my way. No, no drinking. Okay, I don't drink You like drugs. I do I used to do drugs a lot now. I've I'm tame. What are we talking? But I'll do it. So I'll do it still. Yeah, I'm ketamine love ketamine. Yeah. Yeah, you do. Yeah, but this was Like two years ago and so but now I've grown in these two years, but I'll still do it now I just am not like you don't you don't go out of your way to like yeah You don't want to be at make it a habit just like if I see it over there. You'll do it. Okay? What about Molly? I used to do it until I I got one bad batch and I never again

What do you mean one bad bad like what happened you go to the hospital? No, no, not that bad. I had a 24-hour headache. Yeah. That's it? From it. Let's get you some good Molly. Let's get you back. Let's get you back on the train dude. You're like that's nothing. That's nothing dude. That's nothing. I've had some wild nights. Actually, you know what's so funny though? I stay away from almost everything anymore. Yeah, I like weed. Yeah. I like sauce. Okay. But outside of that, mushrooms. I wish I could drink. almost everything anymore. I like weed, I like sauce, but outside of that, mushrooms. I wish I could drink, I love mushrooms. I love psychedelics. I'll do that anytime. We'll do some mushrooms together.

That'll be our father-daughter bonding experience. That'll be nice. You wish you could drink, but you can't. I wish I could drink. I'm allergic. You turn too red. I turn red and my heart beats really fast and it's just a terrible time. What is that?

Why do certain Asians have that gene? It's a literal gene. It's a yeah, we can't process the enzymes in An alcohol. That's so wild. Yeah, I don't know what oh, you know what I heard this I don't know if this is true. It might be anecdotal but it's uh People say it's because to clean water but in our history Europeans made water into alcohol to drink it and then Asian people made water into tea to cleanse it to drink it. Oh, so that's why we yeah So that's why we don't have we've never developed it in history that sounds like it could be very true

Yeah, I mean if I go historically to the Irish When they invented whiskey that we've told us on the show a million times, but it's always a fun fact Whiskey was invented in the 14th century. Yeah, and then they didn't invent anything for 300 years That is an actual fact. It is a Google 300 fucking years once they found the thing that they loved., they were like, we're good. This is so good. We don't ever have to do anything again. Yeah, we'll just do this all day and fucking pass out. Life is already shit and cold and dark. We might as well drink until we go to bed and then wake up and drink until

we go to bed. Make a couple babies, go to church. Yeah. That's a good life. Farm the sheep. It does seem kind of nice. Yeah, it does seem kind of nice. Why does life have to be so complicated? I don't know know we made it this way well this is America we did it we're this is got this we're the hardest working we're the most rude we're the most mean we're the most broad shoulder with a lot of that you like America well that's cuz Chinese Chinese people love that I'm obsessed with that attitude of like look at me on the fucking best and then like nothing really to show for it but but that attitude is so cool

In Canada, that's what was missing for me. No attitude. Just just this like meek meek little You know pussy attitude. That's what I didn't like. I love Canadians and I love Canada But just the attitude was missing. In here we pour whiskey This episode Whiskey Junior is brought to you by BetterHelp. I've talked pretty heavily on this show about BetterHelp because we all need a little bit of help. It's really nice to talk to somebody. It's nice to get stuff off your chest, get your feelings out there.

Therapy can be a source of support for any and all areas of your life. It gets tough. It's a little tough out there. Therapy can be a source of support for any and all areas of your life. It gets tough. It's a little tough out there. But you think about people that you respect, that you admire.

They think they're the shit my Quebec I see I would say Toronto to me Toronto these motherfuckers I see them online and they do this Yeah, fam, dadada all this fucking it fucking drives me nuts, dude I hate that subculture of Canada because they think that the shit you're not in New York. Yes The fuck you think you are I've been saying this for years. They're not New York. I hate Toronto Anytime anyone tells me at my shows. They're like, oh, I'm Canadian too. I'm like where you from? They're like Toronto. I'm like No, they think they're so cool the shit cuz they have Drake. Yeah, cuz they have Drake is not cool. No, he's not cool

I don't what is that? Where the fuck did that come from? I don't like that. I'm a Drake It's so fake cuz here's the thing They want to be the way that New York has an inherent New York accent It's embedded in the fiber of the people of that city because that city has been through it's yes It's war they earned it they

earned it new york earned that fucking they earned this guttural raw because they are culture clashing constantly new york is you know go to fucking queens you go to harlem this is a bunch of different cultures living at once toronto it's fucking canadians and indians nothing has ever happened now cut it out tor Toronto. This is enough. Yeah, they act tough. I love you, but it's enough, dude. Yes, I agree with you. I just don't like that. When I see it on the internet, when kids are like on the internet,

Toronto kids, and they do that talk, what is that called? Is that a thing? It's just like slang. It's called, I think... There's gotta be a word for the fucking Toronto slang. Look that up. Because it's like a culture thing now. It's become how like It's like rude boy. No, it's not. No, but that sounds right. Yeah Like they think they're Jamaican they do think they're fucking Jamaican and they're so far from Jamaica You're Canadian. You're so far from Jamaica. By the way, if you were in South Florida, I'd be like I get it. You're it's close

Yeah, fine. That's fine.. Exactly, at least it's tropical. Yeah, this is right, exactly. There is the slang of it that it bothered me. But as a city, I do love the city. It's a beautiful place, but this young new attitude of young people. I don't even think it's a beautiful place. I think it's a shithole.

You hate it in general. I hate Toronto. You can say that, but I'm gonna be touring there soon, so I gotta chill out. And you know what? Me too. Me too. You're there in like a week, and I love it there. That's right She loves it there. I love the people

But I can't do it. There's a culture thing that's different. Can't do it with the slang Yeah, the accent that the fucking they just think they're in New York, and it's like you're not as cool No, as New York no well no none of us are really New York is New York is the epitome of like It's perfect. But none of us are trying to be in New York except for Toronto. That's actually true Yeah, LA doesn't give a shit about anybody. Yeah, we just are this yeah, we don't care That's what I kind of like we don't we don't give a shit at all Do you so living in LA for two years you found that you like LA or it's just servicing your career? I kind of love LA. You do?

Yeah. Are you single? I am single. So you're on the move. I'm on the move. Is this hard in LA? It's all I hear from him is fucking dating in LA, all these guys give us stories. It's tough.

It's tough because everybody has commitment issues and it's like, I mean myself included, but but it's like but who are you holding out for? What's next? Yeah, yeah, like who who is this like? Golden person that you're like holding out for that's so you know, you're saying we should settle more people should settle Not that great just yeah, yeah, I get it I understand look I think I think you got to find... You should create a list of five things that you really want in a partner. And if they hit three out of five, that's good. Right? That's fine. Exactly. Because I know I'm not five out of five. I'm three out of five for my partner. Yeah. I got to

be three out of five. I'm not... The other two are impossible. Right. Because the other two were black and... What else did she have on that straight straight? Yeah black and straight? Yeah, and I'm not hitting those two possible Five yeah, you're three out of five Well, what okay? What would make your three out of five list? What's your what's your list of five things? Do you care about tall? I've been into tall. I know you like tall she likes tall Okay, what about like finances does he have to have money or have to have okay so tall and rich because before I did it I did a comic for five years yeah you're out on that it was not I mean I

still love him as a person it's just it was hard he's Vancouver based to not have money Vancouver yeah yeah so tall can't be poor. Yes. What do we talk? Does race matter? Doesn't matter. You don't give a shit. I don't give a fuck.

Have you dated the spectrum? Yeah. Well that's why your name is Rainbow. Yeah. That's why your name means Rainbow. Yeah. You've had everybody? I'll do anything.

As long as tall and rich. Tall and rich, you don't care. Have you had all the colors of the rainbow? White guys? Basically. Asian guys, black guys? Yeah, Mexican or Latino? No, you never touch that base. Well, we're so far from Mexico in Canada. You live in Mexico now now I do yeah here in Canada go outside

Right outside of the door. We just said hi to him. Go get that guy and see if you want Okay, so so race doesn't matter that's great you You don't care, you don't have a preference. Or you have a preference or you don't care? I have a preference. I like Asian. You like Asian? We prefer Asian. But what... doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Alright, so let's just say Asian, tall, rich.

Those are the three. And what are the two that you know you can't get but you really want? What are the two elements that you're like, man, it'd be nice if he blank, but that's... Obsessed with me? Right, that's not obtainable. No? Men don't really obsess with women.

Why? Because we do, we kill you. Oh. You know what I mean? Have you never watched these murder... Like if a guy becomes obsessed with a woman, it's danger. Really? You don't want us to really, really love you.

Why? Because our animal instinct is to like... It's to kill. It's to kill. Yeah, it's to kill. They kill the things we love. Have you ever been obsessed with a woman? I've been obsessed with a man, I'll tell you.

No, I've never been obsessed with a... I've been heartbroken by someone I really thought I... Someone that I thought was like... But I've also had that at different levels. There was a girl when I moved to Long Beach who I was like... I thought she was... I was like, this is like the coolest chick that's ever existed. What was it about her? Probably because she didn't like me that much.

Oh wow! Like she liked me a little bit. Huh! But I was like a... What do you call it? A rebound guy? Like she had just broken up with this guy she like loved. And so she was kind of like a Yeah, you're funny funny like I'll fuck you Is that what it is? Just to not give that much? I think if you give less they want you more Jeez I hate that about people Well men in general I think men because if a woman is too doting on a man he gets

concerned that like what does the future look like is she always gonna be like obsessive about me and does that turn into white girl yelling at Asian guy with glasses? Does it turn into controlling, demanding? Probably. Because men don't want to be barked at by anybody. They want freedom. We just want to feel like you can let me do my thing. Men need independent women too, but like men just kind of like to be left alone sometimes. Interesting. Like I can be wandering alone for a whole day, not say hi to one person and feel fantastic. Do you feel that way? No, I'll feel disconnected from the world if that happens. I can disappear man. Wow. I think most men like this kind of nomadic vibe. Well sometimes that makes me feel like men and women are not supposed to be together

because we're so different. We're not. We're really actually not. We're supposed to meet up. Here's what was supposed to happen. We're supposed to be in our little separate herds of just men with all men all the time, women with all women all the time. We're supposed to meet up in a consensual exchange. The government should just regulate this this where we just meet up, have a baby with someone, and then disappear and then we never talk again.

Probably. But we don't even take care of it. No. We should let it raise itself. Yeah, have it just run around. It was fine. I did it. Look at you. Yeah. And you're doing good.

I'm doing well. Well, we're the only animal that does this, right? All these other animals, they fucking just let their kids figure it out. Have you seen the bird? I don't what's the name of the bird? It makes it it makes its young fall off of a cliff and whoever dies Doesn't that's it and then whoever lives now gets to be a part of that makes sense Yeah, cuz like throw your baby off a cliff What is called barnacle geese barnacle geese they literally the videos are incredible They're like 300 feet cliffs and the babies have to fall because their bones are so malleable,

their body's so malleable, that they fall and they bounce off the cliff on the way down. And if it dies, it wasn't meant to be. And if it lives, it gets to be a part of the family. Barnacle geese and Murrays. Murrays? Both of them. They both do this. That's great.

That's kind of like a New York attitude. Yeah, live or die. It's like you earned it. You earned to live right? Yeah live or die, dude Yeah, all right. So here's the deal. We got to get you a guy listen. I guys out there if you're tall rich If you're tall, okay rich is a bad word if you're tall and you're doing well, yes, you're not you know You're not scraping together Ramen every night. Yeah, and that's not a shot because you're Asian, by the way, that is not gonna do it.

If you're tall, you're doing okay. I'm doing well. And you're Chinese. Doing well. And you're Chinese, preferably Chinese. No. You don't want Chinese. Actually, I take that back, anyways.

You don't, okay, you're open. I actually don't have preference because sometimes Chinese men are, they piss me off a little bit. Why, what is it? They have expectations because sometimes Chinese men are, they piss me off a little bit. Why? What is it? They have expectations for me.

What are they? Like that I'm supposed to be a quiet little wife. Subservient? Yeah. Yeah. And I don't see them have that expectation towards like white women or other races of women. Well, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

That's the thing. The whites are a wild breed, dude. White women, you're not going gonna get a super subservient white woman. Not in this culture now, too, especially. It's like, we're in boss bitch era, dude. You're not gonna get- That's true.

This is boss bitch era. So you're not gonna get some white girl to be like, although there are tradwives, you know what this is. Oh. Tradwife is a new thing, it's traditional wiving. There are women on the internet now who want to go back to Women stay at home. They don't work. They're tradwives. They're like old 50s conservative white American This is like a big movement on the internet. Are they like Christian? Yeah, come on What would you be holding on to

That'd be like the Truman show, you know, when she's talking she's talking, she's like, well I got bought you one of these new apple peelers. You're like, she's gonna kill me. No, but yeah, there's a new movement of trad wife online of like fighting back to the women's feminist movement of independence. They want women to be dependent, literally. It's kind of calling for dependence, being like, we should take care of children.

Women shouldn't be out in the workplace. We should be baking pies. Which is funny because I, well yeah, I do love pies. I do love pies. Like we should take care of children women should be out in the workplace. We should be baking pies Which is funny because I'm my oh, yeah, I do love pie. I do love pie like it get these bitches in the kitchen Yeah, wait, yeah I Just grew up with a different view of women when I was a kid because my mom always worked Yeah, and I only knew women that worked Like you know, my mom's friends were all working women. Yeah.

So I did and gay guys. Literally. My mom was friend. It was only gay guys and and working women. Like I had an uncle who was gay. He wasn't even our uncle, but I thought he was my uncle. He's not. We weren't related. Uh huh. But he was just like this really cool gay dude that my mom knew. Yeah. And that's what I knew was like working young, cool professionals. So I didn't have a stay at home mom. I had friends when we moved to the suburbs that had that, but that lifestyle was so, it was weird. Where's your dad?

Where's my biological father? Yeah. Prison. Oh. And then he got out. No, he's been, I mean, you know, when I was a kid, kid, my mom remarried, my stepdad, and then we moved to the western suburbs of Chicago. And then I saw a lot of stay at home moms.

Like there were kids, you know they their moms would Make food all that you'd come home from school. They'd be food. I thought that was insane. I was like that's crazy So what did you eat when I would go yeah? Just whatever the fuck is in the fridge a lot of cold cuts ah yeah, you'd come home And I would have like a bologna sandwich no pie fuck no dude. No we never had homemade Because your mom was working. Bitch be working. Yeah, let the trad wives back so we can have pie.

I know, let us have pie. Let them eat pie. I want pie dude. Let them eat pie dude. That's the American way. That is. What's your favorite American food? I love pie and biscuits.

Biscuits. Oh, when I'm in- What's your favorite Chinese food? Noodle. Just noodles in general? Noodles with soup wonton soup. Oh my god. Wonton soup. Wonton soup and bao. I fucking love bao. Yeah, bao and dumplings. Oh. Was your mom a cook? My mom cooks Yeah, but my grandma's better than my mom at cooking. Is she around? Yeah. She's alive. Yeah my grandma's crazy though she'll like like put making the dumplings you know the dough inside or sorry the filling inside she'll taste it when it's raw to make sure the flavors like raw pork she's having raw pork and every day she calls me she's like I feel sick and I'm like cuz you're eating the

raw pork from the fucking fillings like she's alive though she's alive so who's who's right maybe her she's tough yeah I mean maybe that's the secret to longevity is just eating raw pork 100% my grandmother I said this my grandmother from the south my stepdad's mom she would they would have their own little you know farm and she would, they would have their own little, you know, farm, and she would hand kill the chickens. She'd wring the neck. My grandparents hand killed the chickens too.

So cute. Look at us. We are this. You are my daughter. They would, she would spin its head, crack it, she would de-feather it, and then she would bring it inside, she would dress it, and then when she was cooking it, what she loved was she would sear little cube pieces of chicken and she would eat them when they're seared. So they're raw on the inside.

But they're seared on the outside. She loved it. I thought that was insane. But she was just a bad bitch. She was a bad bitch and you couldn't tell her otherwise. I was like, Nanny, you're not supposed to eat that chicken. You have to cook chicken. I was a little kid being like, you have to cook chicken. She's like, you don't have to do that. Andrea. You can just see her it on the outside It's gonna be cold on the inside. It's delicious little warm and cold. She loved it. I thought she was crazy Yeah, but she you know, well, she's dead now, but it wasn't from that. It wasn't from that It wasn't from that at all

you know like like home cooked foreign cuisine if I can go somewhere and I can meet someone's parents who are immigrants and they cook me their version big fan big fan. Oh, take me to grandma's please I want to see you very please I'm coming I'm not getting at all I want a home cooked meal from an immigrant oh my god number one you'll fall in love I yeah you're my daughter all right you introduced me as your dad to your grandmother my grandma's like does she speak any English or no?

You're fluent, you're fine. Yeah. You'll be my lead. Exactly. And your mom speaks Chinese only or no? Yeah but she knows some English. She just knows hi how are you and then you'll answer and she doesn't... That's it't yeah, that's great. She won't react to the answer She'll go. Hello. How are you? Yeah, and I'm like great. How are you doing? She's already doing something else like I mean at least that's polite At least she's saying she's inquiring about how you are. Yeah, and then moving on doesn't care about the answer who really does Nobody yeah, so she's not a faker. She's not a phony Yeah, she's not a fucking-

Because when someone says to you, when you see people in public and they go, hey, how you doing? They don't give a shit about how you're doing. No. That is true. That is really- that's kind of like in the Brits. The Brits say, are you all right? I wrote a joke about it once years ago.

They say, you all right. You all right. You all right. All right. All right, then. All right, meaning like- Oh, that's a greeting for them. It's the same thing as saying hello.

Okay. I thought they were just like being rude. Yeah. Cause it's like... Are you alright? Yeah, doesn't it feel weird? The way you look, are you alright? Yeah, it's... This is okay.

That feels rude. Yeah, yeah. But... Well, they are kind of inherently a little bitey. That's true. Everything a Brit says underneath it has a little bit of like a fuck you to it. There's a backhanded... Yeah.

I mean, well they're, I mean, you know. And they're the, you know. Why are they such dicks? I mean, historically they were just really really bad people So I think that's embedded into their bones because they want to take over the world. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's so funny We got mad at Hitler, but not the Brits. You know what I mean? Isn't that strange? Why is no one mad at them? I think because they're so apologetic and meek now and the accent British culture is very like yeah, sorry Alright, I mean they're so it's like very you know I

mean it's very like pensive and that's how they get away with the evil just by like just pretend like you didn't do Germans couldn't get away with it they're so proud yeah yeah be quiet that's a scoot yeah yeah it's just it's there they're such broad people yeah yeah yeah it's strong people yeah. Yeah, it's too obvious. That's what you know what? Germany that's where you went wrong Do it quietly simmer down a bit, and then you could do whatever you want whatever you want Still keep a royal family going which is the most racist shit ever it is the most racist shit dude get fucking hey keep give Ireland back to the Irish give Ireland back to the fucking Irish the Brits It's funny because I love all these people I do love the Brits, but there is a weird

vibe with they're better than they have this like Just like a new need and I go you're fucking American like it like, ugh. But why do they think they're better? What's happened? You know, I think they think, well, they're not, they don't think that they're better, they think that we're the worst. The world kind of thinks we're trash. Except for Australians, they fucking love us.

Those guys fuck with us. Because they're kind of trashy. They're British prisoners, yeah, they're trash too. Yeah, they're like us. But I love the trashiness. Yeah, like, what's your favorite trash of America? What's what's what's trash of America that makes you like love America? White trash. You love white trash. Yeah Yeah, I think it's cool. It is cool though. Yeah, because I like the vibes

I like the grittiness. Are the guys are the guys hotter because they're trashier Like when you see a white trash guy, is that hot white guy? No, I wouldn't but I I know what's going I know the whole deal, and I appreciate it. It's almost like I'm at a museum, and I'm like I like that I like that art. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to buy it. I'm not gonna you buy it or fuck it But I get it you get why I understand why we're all so loyal to this country Oh, you know right right right right you get the vibes. I understand the American dream also loyal to this country. Ah, right, right, right, right. You get the vibes. I understand the American dream, you know? Even though it's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen for most people, but I appreciate that it is promised to everybody. What's the Chinese dream? To serve the government. That is, right? Yeah, to like salute the flag and be with your family and. And be good and get them and shut up. And get into the best school and then work to death. And work till you die.

Yeah. And money. Money, but just, you know, giving it to your family mostly. But make a lot of it, right? Make a lot of it, but never flashy about it Just just you just giving it to your family. So are no but no Asians are really flashy, huh? They do I think American Asian people are But over there no over there not really because if you're too flashy the government will see you and they flag you you know Wow, it's like a problem. It's an issue. You can't be too.

It's like the mafia in the 70s. Yeah. Like, why'd you buy that car? We told you not to buy that for a coat. Exactly. You're gonna attract attention. You have to bury it underneath the house.

Be under the radar. Right. Like, is your grandmother someone that like, because of what she went through, is she like a hoard money type of person? Oh my God, my, well, when you come to my house, you'll see. Yeah.

We are hoarders. Oh, in general. Every table, there's no space. If they hand you a plate or a drink, you can't put it on a table. There's no space on any table. You have to just hold it. We're hoarders. But is this like a, this is what culture is to your grandma's generation?

Yes, well they got everything taken from them. Yeah, so she's like, I'm keeping all this shit. Everything. Everything could be useful. And she's not wrong. Yeah. I mean it can be at some point. You're never gonna use it, but it could be.

Sure. Well, I have that now a little bit. I have to be mindful to throw things away. You're a hoarder. Ugh. What do you hoard the most? Clothes? I hoard clothes. I, what do you hoard the most? Clothes I hoard clothes I hoard

Honestly everything like a button I'll see a button on the floor. I'm it. Maybe I'll need that you'll keep the body Okay, I can't wait to throw that button away Yeah, I throw it away. Did I'm a rebel. I hoard food too. That's could be dangerous Yeah, even if it's like I'll be like it's expired. Okay, it looks fine, smells fine. And you'll eat it anyway. I'll heat it up so hot, and in my head I'm like, it kills everything, and I'll eat it, and I'll be sick for months.

Yeah, that's fine. But I'm like, but it can't be that food. I heat it up so hot. No. You're taking notes from your grandmother who's eating raw pork. You're falling in line. Yeah, and so it's not a good way to live.

Do you live alone? I live alone. Okay, so that's fine. You're not imposing on somebody else. But you know when the second I kind of am working on that habit is when my friend was like, you know, when you do that, it's not hot. What's not hot? I just like eating old food.

Yeah, but that's not for someone. No one's trying to be hot when they're eating food. Right, no, but that's not a hot trait. It's not an ugly trait. Is this crazy? You don't think it's an ugly trait? I feel like it's an ugly trait. Or at least my friend told me. Okay, give me an ugly trait. Biting nails drives me nuts.

Yeah, that is kind of ugly. If I see someone biting their nails, I'm always like, eeeh. You don't feel that if somebody's eating moldy food. Well, moldy food, don't do that, because you can get sick and die. Okay, I'm doing that a little bit. You do eat moldy food. A little bit. Like, I'll scoop it away and then I'll eat it. Dude.

Yeah. Do you need some money? No. Give her some money, dude. Well, the thing is, it's just, I don't know, it's a sickness. But the second my friend was like, that's not hot behavior, I'm like, OK, actually, I won't do it anymore. There's a girl that said this to you?

It was a man. It was a man that said it. It was a comic. Oh, a comedian said it? Yeah, yeah. But what, a friend of yours said, oh, that's not hot? Because I'm trying to be hot so that I can have a husband. Hot for a husband.

He's married. He doesn't think about, you know, when you're single you're so consciously like, I gotta be hot. Yeah, but I mean, you saying you're hot, your friend, is he a, is this guy like interested in you? No, but he's just like an advisor to my life of like, of like, well, you want a husband, this is how you do it. Just be really hot. What does he know? Is he single? He's married. Oh he is.

So you think that he has the answers. Maybe. I'll give you an alternative. What? Okay? I'm the other side of it. Okay. Nothing wrong with it, keep doing it. Thank you.

As long as you don't die. You live your best life, who gives a shit? I'll keep eating mold. Yeah, fuck it, who cares? And if you die, you die, I mean I don't know. Yeah, who cares? Yeah, it's a tough life. At least I got to eat the food.

Yeah dude, at least you got nourishment. I saved three dollars. That's exactly right. You save a little bit of money. Expiration dates aren't... Yeah, they're all fake. Yeah, they're not approved by the FDA. They're all made up. They're made up by the government. You do know this, right? The expiration dates on stuff. My mom is the proof of this. My parents have shit in this in their cabinets. Fucking years sometimes afterwards. they're still good. Yeah, it's a smell test. You smell test. Smell test.

But the mold part, if it is moldy, don't eat it though. Yeah. Cheese, yogurt, that's all moldy. Okay, I'll do that. Yeah, my family, we've never thrown away eggs. Okay, that's a little much. Okay. Because eggs definitely spoil, that's bad.

Oh. Yeah, that's bad. Is that why you guys always put it with ramen? Why do people, why do they always put an egg in ramen? What is that? It's for put it with wrong? Why do people ever? Why do they always put an egg in ramen? What is that? It's for sustenance the protein because because there's not a wrong thing. Yeah. Yeah, because here's what's funny I love eggs. Mm-hmm, but I fucking hate the egg in ramen. I don't hate it. I just don't want that with that What do you want with it like some poor eggs is always?

Yeah, I'll take... I'll take a... A chashu? Yeah, a pork chashu. Yeah, I'll take any sort of beef. Meat, chicken, turkey, pork. But just an egg. Eggs are breakfast food, dude. Interesting. And ramen is lunch for whites.

Okay, wow. We don't eat ramen for breakfast. That is the thing with white people, it's you categorize breakfast. We say we love segregation, that's our big thing. Yeah. And listen, sometimes we'll gentrify our meals, like I'll have cereal for dinner, but it's pretty rare. But I will do it. It's actually a very good childhood memory. My mother used to make it, we used to have breakfast for dinner, that was one of my favorite nights. If my mom got home late, or if it was scheduled for sports or something, we'd have breakfast and we would eat waffles sometimes at night and that was my favorite.

That's cute. Those were some of my favorite nights. I was obsessed with waffles as a kid. Same. Heaven on earth. Yeah. So good. Do you ever put peanut butter on them? Never. Dude, go outside.

That's a possibility. Oh, you're going to lose your mind. My God. When the waffles are warm, you put a little bit of peanut butter on them and when you put the syrup on it, because the heat will heat the peanut butter on them and when you put the syrup on it because the heat will Heat the peanut butter up. It'll cascade down the sides Yeah, the whites are on it dude, we know how to snack something up dude I've only been doing butter and fucking syrup. No no put some peanut butter on that motherfucker

Do you like crunchy peanut butter? I love go off Queen put some crunch it because the crunch is fall into those little holes Oh, you get a crunch with a bite. I got your matters. I'm doing that. So here's the deal whites categorized We need eggs for breakfast. I can't I can eat eggs for like lunch But has to be a breakfast plate like an egg hash for lunch. I can do it But they're very particular about food. Yeah, I like one. I think something shouldn't be eaten at certain times of day. I'll eat anything anytime. So for breakfast, what's your what's like the what do you eat? Whatever's around you know, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. What is your typical breakfast? Typically,

I'll have a cucumber with a fucking cucumber. Yeah, you'll just eat just a cucumber. I'll literally just eat a one whole cucumber. I used to not even cut it. I used to just eat it like the whole thing. But then now I cut it up. I cut it up nice. I lay it out nice.

Do you dip it in something? Nothing. You're sick. Wait, this is worse than the moldy stuff. The moldy stuff didn't bother me at all. This is worse? You're just, no dip for cucumber? Nothing.

Gotta have a dip. I like the taste of the cucumber. I know, but you gotta add some flavor, like a tzatziki sauce or like a... No, that, sauces bother me. What? They're always too sour. No dips you like at all? Not even like a sour cream?

No. Wow. I eat it raw And then your raw dog and cucumber. I'm writing most fruits and vegetables Yeah, raw dog and like a red pepper. Yes, you're wrong. I love a red pepper by itself Uncooked yes, this is crazy. I'll do a tomato like an apple. I'll eat it like an apple really yeah And I'll have a cucumber this Chinese shit, or that's a you thing. I think it's on my family thing my grandma Cooked us just the most bland food no flavor Yeah, cuz I can't China is flavor right the more north you go the less flavor

That's a bummer you guys got the flavors the best, but the dumplings are very good come over for the dumb I'm gonna come for that. I will but I'm telling you I'm not gonna eat a cucumber with you in the morning I'm not that's crazy. I want a meal. That's crazy So I have a cucumber and two boiled eggs hard boiled eggs with nothing no salt or pepper nothing That's this is blasphemy. Yeah, wait you so by the way, this is why? When whites get made fun of for being flavorless I'm gonna be like, my friend that's Chinese has even less flavor than I do, because I love spice, I love heat, because of where

I've lived. I've lived, you know. Where did you live? Well, I've lived in the Southwest for 20 some odd years of my life now. I love the South. I lived in Arizona, and then I moved here, so I get Mexican food and you have a lot of like spice Mexican food this is pissing me off You don't like Mexican food. Yeah, do that racist the no

You said I don't like Mexican people Mexicans the best people the best people yeah the best audience members I've ever had in my life Yeah, yeah because Mexicans can take a fucking joke. Yeah, the best audience members I've ever had in my life. Yeah. Yeah, because Mexicans can take a fucking joke Yeah, they're never gonna get mad. I agree. They don't care who you joke about they're in on it You could talk shit to them and they love it. That's great Mexican people Mexican food, dude Mexican I don't like Mexican food. What you're trippin to sour so How are you eating it?

Where are you going for Mexican food? Too much lime. Okay, okay, how about this? And too much onion, uncooked onion. You're Miss Raw Veggie. You're Raw Veggie Lady. Okay, but onion, like I like my onion a little cooked. This is the funniest thing. You'll eat a tomato like an apple, but you're like, dude, an onion uncooked is insane.

It's too spicy You're white by the way, I'm fucking fuck Chinese you're white you are a hundred percent white The two some fucking onions too spicy as hilarious Spicy onion around you sometimes I'll have a bubbly water too spicy. Oh my god Like a valley girl. I can't have that spice, that's a spicy water. Wait two boiled eggs with cucumber and no sauce, no flavor, no dip, no nothing. See this is tough for me. Sauce bothers me. Gosh. It's gross. Alright when you get fries you have ketchup. Sometimes. You just eat them alone without ketchup? If it's, yeah I... Dude I live and die by sauce. I can't be bothered.

My little sister... You know what it is though? I think it's... I got all sauced out when I worked at a restaurant. Where'd you work? I worked at a steakhouse. Are you familiar with the keg? I know the keg. Of course I know the keg. Oh yeah, I worked at the keg for two years. And I ate the most mayonnaise and butter and ketchup that you could ever have in a lifetime.

You got sauced out. I think I got sauced out. Yeah, you need to be re-sauced. You need to get reintroduced to sauce because there's so many good ones out there. Dude, particularly in fucking Asian food. I mean, fuck me. I do love the Asian sauce. Korean food has such good sauce.

Yeah, okay, my problem with Korean food is it's too sweet. I like the sweet. Yeah, I have a little sweet food is it's too sweet. I like the sweet, yeah I have a little sweet too. It's too sweet. I love the sweet. Like their sauces are sweet. Right. Like even fish sauce is kind of sweet. Yeah, fish sauce is Vietnamese and it's a little sweet. Oh it is Vietnamese? Yeah. Oh well they, I like the fish sauce. When I go to the Korean barbecue joint they give me that fish sauce cup and they hand mix it for you. It's quite good but yeah not every meat dish has to be sweet though. That's my problem with Korean food. I get it right.

You don't need all that. You want it more salty. You want salt over sweet. Like your perfect midnight snack. You're stoned out of your mind. Do you smoke weed or no? I do. Yeah.

If you're stoned out of your mind tonight at home, what's your perfect late night snack? A cucumber. Oh fuck you. I don't know. Cucumber and hardball. But honestly, cucumbers are so refreshing. Yeah, dude, but that's not a snack. That's not like a...

It's not gonna like... It's not satiate. It's not like a, oh god, I'm satisfied. Okay, okay. I'll give you this. A date with peanut butter inside and alright you hate it. A date? A fucking little-

A date. A date is like a raisin with Down syndrome, that's what it is right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, yeah. It's just like a swollen raisin right? Yeah, yeah. With peanut butter inside. How do you get it inside? You inject it inside? Or they sell this at TJ's? Yeah, you stuff it in. Oh you stuff it. Yeah, you put it with a spoon

You were learning so much about it. And then dipped in chocolate Okay, it's good. I'll bring you one. I'll give you one next time. Okay, please or or Chocolate with peanut butter on toast. I love that too. But you like the date. I just don't have toast. You don't eat toast. I more have-

You know why, cause bread will mold in your house and you'll be eating fucking a loaf of mold. Honestly, it's just whatever grows less mold than it's in my house. Dates don't really grow mold. Yeah, so. That's so good, you go to Trader Joe's, you're like, where's a long time, long time, what aisle has long time no mold?

I need long time no mold. Me love you long time no mold. Me love you long time no mold. Just give me the aisle that has no mold on it. Yes, or the least amount. You're like my grandmother reincarnated. Because she was very, I swear to God, my grandmother was you know, a product of the depression so she

Hoarded everything saved everything Never threw food away Yeah to the point where like my parents would my the my mom brothers and sisters would have to be like Mom you have to throw this away like this you will die if you eat this bowl of soup like it's She would cook soup yeah eat some of it And then just saran wrap the bowl of soup, and then stick it in the fridge for weeks and weeks and weeks. That's not good.

I have a Saran wrapped bowl of raspberries in my freezer. Just finish, well, freezer's fine. Freezers I'm okay with. Yeah. Because freezer, once it's frozen, you're fine for a long time. But she'll just put it in the fridge. She'll keep shit in the fridge,

it'll spoil within a week, and then it's just like. And she's like, I need it still. She'll eat it. She would eat it, she'd eat shit all the time. My grandmother spoil within a week, and then it's just like... And she's like, I need it still. She'll eat it. She would eat it. She'd eat shit all the time. My grandmother, as a kid, we'd joke around, she'd be like, go get... You guys want pop? Like, yeah, we want...

I know what she did. She would collect the two liter bottles from before and and marry them So when you'd open it up you would we would take up like a vote on like who thinks that how long the sk would Be when you opened it and most of them. It would be so you you crack it and go There's no fizz left. It's just flat. All flat coke. I don't think my grandmother ever had a non-flat coke in the garage. That's hilarious.

I never had a non-flat soda at my grandmother's house my whole childhood. That's so funny. Because she wouldn't have cans because that was expensive. It was a waste of money. She'd buy the two liter ones that were discount, you know? I did that as a kid too. We would keep it forever. Forever.

And it would just be, I'd just have a flat, you know... And there keep it forever forever, and it would just be I just have a flat You know and there's so dude pop when it's flat is so gross. It's the fucking worst thing It's weird, but why the fuzzies make it so good it That's the whole thing that's 90% of this, but it's the fuzzy too spicy for you sometimes a little bit I do scrunch my face.
