1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: As you can see, my dishes empty, so tim sounds

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: that wrong? Suit y'all tronx here and we are eating

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: while broke. Thank you so much for feeding me today.

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: Of course, thanks for having me. I'm excited for you

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: to try my little, my little recipe here. Yeah, okay,

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: do you eat a lot of instant I think everyone

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: that has been broke before had lived and died. By

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: the matter of fact, if you're not a chef in

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: ramen or instant noodles, then you probably weren't broken up.

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: I think we've all kind of we've all had some

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: version of this, right and um, you know, I feel

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: like a lot of people they're so used to this

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: they don't even know about like the real ass ramen

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: that you get, like the Japanese spot, you know. Really,

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: I feel like now the real ramen has become so popular,

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: true cho, but I still run into people who are like,

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: why would you play fifteen dollars for some something you

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: get for you know that they don't know, they don't

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: they definitely don't know. So what are the ingredients you

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: have for us today? Okay, so we got some Mama noodles,

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: which are a high version of like rama noodles, okay,

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: and then we got some corn, which I just like

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: to throw and everything. We got some some scallions, greene onions,

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: myt dogs, eggs, and some peanut butter and some so

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: rota of course. All right, So this is how I

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: challenged to know if someone's really broke, because if they

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: just do a straight ramah, I'm like, you haven't eaten

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: ramen enough until you tweaked it. You gotta tweak and

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: finesse in your own way, I think, especially with the

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: peanut butter. That was my dad's thing. That was something

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: he got me doing when I was a little kids.

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: So okay, all right, I'm excited. Let's do it. Let's

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: do it. When was the last time you ate this,

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: dish man? Probably? Um? I mean I probably just made

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: this like like a month ago. Um. Just you know,

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: when I'm at the house just like and and and

37
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: we don't feel like just cooking or ordering food, and

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, you can't you can't go wrong, you know,

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: but do you make it as fancy as this? Because

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this is kind of fancy. I mean,

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: I'll throw some hot dogs or something. I mean, now

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: that I got a little you know, I always have

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: some white wife. He doesn't like using the hot dogs,

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: so I tried to throw a little ground chicken in

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: there for her or something a little little healthier. Um,

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: And just so you know, I've never actually heard of

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: the Mama Mama noodles. Yeah, I've always heard of just

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: one ram like type of noodle. And then all of

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, you threw this name at me, and then

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, and now I realized there's

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: like a whole bunch of different types of noodles. Mama

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: noodles are the tie equivalent of Rama noodles. And you know,

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: like I said, my mom always likes using the type

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: products because they're just better than everything else. That's what

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: she said. And um, I wasn't making a joke. That's

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: literally like this what my mom said. So these have

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: like a better flavor you think, Yeah, yeah, different flavor.

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I like the I like the texture of it. I

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: can handle. We can you know, we're gonna we're gonna

60
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: try and hang because abtually I've you'd be surprised on

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: that show what I've eaten. I actually had a jail

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: meal a couple last week, which was very interesting. So

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: so I don't. I'm this is gonna be my official

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: meal of the day. Oh really okay, okay, yeah, I'm

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: excited to make this for you. Okay, did you ever

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: do this? Just eat these raw? I actually did on

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: the last episode. Yeah, it was my first time. I

68
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: didn't even know that was a possibility. It's a great snap.

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: And also when it mixes with the hot water in

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: your stomach, they expence, you get pulled. Oh you know,

71
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that. I didn't even think

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: about that. So tell me a little bit about yourself,

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: like your upbringing, because I feel like we see you,

74
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, as a comedian, as a rapper, and we

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: don't really get to see the other side of like

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: what life was like or you're growing up and how

77
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you broke into the industry, because I'm sure you had

78
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: quite a bit of hurdles. Yeah, definitely. I mean, if

79
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about eating all broke, um, you know, uh

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: my family was deaf the lead broke. We we were

81
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: just you know, I grew up on like the east

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: side of Long Beach. We had a little one bedroom

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: apartment and uh my mom was a cook at like

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: a casino just wherever she could get cooking jobs, you know,

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: because that was she just loved cooking. That was her thing. Um,

86
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: And my dad was doing like welding jobs in l

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: A and U. And one of my main real like

88
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: motivators for trying to get on and and and become

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: like successful in the whatever business I was in is

90
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: because I wanted to, you know, take care of my

91
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: parents and pay back my parents who all the all

92
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: the times, like they had to work because my mom

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: was always working like super late nights, and you know,

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: she had like at one point she had like two jobs.

95
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: She was working at two different restaurants. And one thing

96
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: that I will say is that even though we were

97
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: like broke, um and we didn't necessarily have a lot

98
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: of money for like fancy ingredients, my mom always made

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: sure that the food was was tasty, you know, like

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: because she was she was like a cook, you know,

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: like so usually ideally she wasn't using hot dogs. She

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: liked to use um, like some ground pork or something

103
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: like that. That was her thing. The hot dogs are

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: just I just really like hot dogs. So I think

105
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: I just kind of asked my parents to make it

106
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: with hot dogs a lot as a young in and

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so my goal. I told them growing up that, like,

108
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, with this entertainment stuff, I know it sounds

109
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: crazy and I know it seems like it's point with, right,

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: But I told them I was like, watch one day,

111
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it work and I'm gonna pay you

112
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: guys this house off. I'm gonna like take care of

113
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: you guys. And we moved to a house in Paramount

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: when I was ten, and and eventually we got to

115
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: a point where I was able to pay off the house. Right,

116
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: And this is after you made it, Yeah, this is

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: after a bunch of stuff. How long would you say

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: your brind was before you were able to buy them

119
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: the house? So I was originally just trying to be

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: an actor, like doing like TV movies and stuff like that,

121
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: like auditioning. But but I felt like back when I

122
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: first started, there was really no opportunities for Asian dudes specifically,

123
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: there wasn't a whole lot of um things I could

124
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: audition for again, especially being like trying to just portray

125
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: a regular as person and not like a nerd or

126
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: a kungku dude, you know. So, um I started auditioning

127
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: for stuff, but it wasn't working out. So then I

128
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: found YouTube. Back in like oh six, no one was

129
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: really creating any type of content on youtubee. It was

130
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: brand new. So then I thought, I'm sure you can

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: do that, right, So what we do with the ai?

132
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: So what we do with the egg? Give? All right,

133
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna put it in there, and then

134
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: what happens is you put it on that over the

135
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: what happens is the boiling water is gonna it's gonna

136
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: cook that egg up, right, and you don't need do

137
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: you break the Yeah, I'm gonna break it up in here? Okay.

138
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: So I've never ever, ever, ever in my life. This

139
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: is something my mom um and a lot of like

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: Asian people do, like um, with like rice soup. They're

141
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: like just bust an egg in there and the heat

142
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: from the soup will cook the egg and then um,

143
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: then you break it up and then it adds a

144
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: nice little like different texture to the flavor and like

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: consistency to the to the broad I think, you know, alright, Alright,

146
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: So I started making YouTube videos because I thought, Okay,

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: this might be a good way to to get into

148
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: the to just kind of put my face out there

149
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: to see if something could happen through just me trying

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: to you know, um just put myself out there, you know.

151
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: So I started doing a little stupid videos like freestyling

152
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and like just doing impressions just to just to make

153
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: my MySpace friends laugh, you know. And then um, yeah,

154
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: I know it is it is how far back he goes, right,

155
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: And so um, once I really started to gain an

156
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: audience on YouTube, I thought, okay, this this might be

157
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: a thing, because because back then, you know, I feel

158
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: like there was no place for especially like Asian entertainers

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: to really do our thing, you know what I'm saying.

160
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: So there was there was such like an audience online

161
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: that was like, oh wow, I've never seen an Asian

162
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: dude like being funny or or or singing or rapping.

163
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I started to build like an audience, you know, like

164
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: there was a lot of kids that were like, Okay,

165
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: he looks like me, this is crazy. You've never seen

166
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: this before. And people who have never seen an Asian

167
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: dude like just being like funny before, We're like, oh

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: this is this is this is weird. I'm a watch right,

169
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: And after doing my thing on YouTube for some time,

170
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: I built like a pretty strong audience and then uh. Um.

171
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: I was presented with the opportunity to audition for a

172
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: while and out and I got on that show. And

173
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: I was on while out for like six years, eight

174
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: seasons maybe and um and uh and you know, just

175
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: it's just opened up a lot of opportunities and YouTube

176
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: stuff the while and now. Um. So yeah, I got

177
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: to a point where I was able to pay off

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: my my family's house, um, which was dope for me

179
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: because uh, like, once I gave my parents the check

180
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: for for the house, uh, my mom was like, finally

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: I can I can take a break, you know. And

182
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Mom, I know, I know where

00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: you like crying or death. I wasn't. I was happy

00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: because I feeled the whole thing and I was happy,

185
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Like my mom cried. My dad was like, oh I

186
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: knew you could do it, blah blah blah. But I

187
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: didn't get emotional until she said that. You know. That's

188
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: when I was like, oh, mom, you know, because I mean,

189
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: that's that's why I did it at the end of

190
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: the day, you know, because I wanted them to feel

191
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: like they could take a break, you know. So that

192
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,800

221
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: some doubt and say, like you should go to school

222
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: or something? Yeah, you know, I mean my whole life

223
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: when I was like pursuing the whole entertainment stuff, like

224
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: they always said. They always said like, Okay, yeah, we know,

225
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: this is what you love, this is what you want

226
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: to do. But also, you know, make sure you get

227
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: your make sure you get your degree, you know, and

228
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: I'll go yeah, yeah, And that was always the goal

229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: that I was going to go back and finish and

230
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: get my degree, right, But it got to a point

231
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: where I kind of had to balance both things, you know,

232
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: and I was having trouble balancing like college and like

233
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: the different shows that were popping up and the different

234
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: shoots I had to do. So I eventually like I

235
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: took a semester off, and then I took another semester off,

236
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: and then I took like a year off, and then

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I eventually just never went back. You know, do they

238
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: ever mention it well, because well, now you you could

239
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: have checked for their house. They're like, we don't care

240
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: what you do, right. I was just gonna say, like,

241
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, my mom one time. One time she was like,

242
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna go back and get your degree? Right? And

243
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, Mom, you really want

244
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: me to finish my degree or you want to keep

245
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: paying for your ship? And she was like, okay, okay never.

246
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: But the thing about it is I knew they kind

247
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: of I think at the at the end of the day,

248
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, Asian parents, even though like you know, traditionally

249
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: they want you to be like a doctor or or

250
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: or finished school, at least, I think they just really

251
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: want you to um have security, you know what I'm saying.

252
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: They want to make sure I'm taken care of. And

253
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: I think once they realized that it was it was

254
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: legit and it was really something I was like making

255
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: money off of and I could live off of, then

256
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: then they took it seriously. You know, all parents kind

257
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: of bragged to their friends about what their kids do, right,

258
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: and then, um, I remember my dad used to be like, oh,

259
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: you know my son he made using this and this

260
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: and that, and he also does these little like videos

261
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: of his friends. Right. But then I remember one day

262
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, you know my son's things on YouTube.

263
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, okay, he gets it, he gets it down.

264
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: He was like, I've got a little a little portionate

265
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: for you. I got some green onions on there, just

266
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: just just to have them. I feel like little peanuts

267
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: should be at the top of this. Yeah, that would

268
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: be nice. And how you like these? Look at that?

269
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: This is looking official. I feel like I should just

270
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: take a couple, take all you a little you know

271
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I feel like I should have a

272
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: phone on this set and just be able to take

273
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: pictures of the dish because some of these are played.

274
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: And look how nice it's played. Yall can't see this,

275
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,880

277
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: not at all, you know, instant, and this this was

278
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: really affordable to I mean, like a couple of bucks.

279
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know when you're broke, yea do what

Speaker 1: you get the first bite? Everyone's doing that. You take

282
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the first bite. It's hot, It's extremely hot. Was there

283
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: ever a point in your career where you felt like

284
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna make it or like, was there like

285
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: a hurdle that you thought I may have may need

286
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: to do a U turn you know what? Um? Oh

287
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: you can, you can. Really. There's a lot of peanut

288
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: butter like that not bad, right. The flavoring on this

289
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: is like restaurant quality, Like I would I would totally

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: pay like twenty dollars for this dish. And that's that's

291
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: that's what that's what they do, gentrification of some instant noodles.

292
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, so what was that point? Mm hm, um,

293
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: you know what he's his name right? Um. I've never

294
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: felt discouraged like that because for me, I always looked

295
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: at it as just something I really had to work towards. Um.

296
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: And if I ever like I'm still not where I

297
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: want to be, you know, because I still feel like

298
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: I have a lot of work to do still. Um

299
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: and UM. I was never at a point where I

300
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: felt like, Man, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not, I'm

301
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: not like I'm failing at this right because I felt

302
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: like as long as I kept making baby steps towards

303
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: what I was doing, then I was I was going

304
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: in the right direction, you know. So I feel like

305
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: as long as I just keep working and keep running,

306
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna be all right. You know, what would

307
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: you say, is the hardest milestone you've had to hit

308
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: in your career so far? Mm hmm. I feel like,

309
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think that, um, a lot of people

310
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: will get discouraged just when you get like rejected, right

311
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: when you're going on auditions and you don't get the

312
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: part that you wanted. Like I've I literally had like

313
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: five different movies that were supposed to be like built

314
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: around me, Like people like all right, we going to India,

315
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: we shoot this movie. Um, we got this movie. Oh

316
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: J Cole is gonna be in there. You we wouldn't

317
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: want to want you, like multiple different projects that have

318
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: just feel it away and fell flat. You know, I think,

319
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, when you're younger, you know, I got a

320
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: lot of people of course like me, like especially with

321
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: me doing the wrap stuff as well, like you know,

322
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: people would start they would they would be be laughing

323
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: before I even started wrapping, you know, especially like when

324
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: I was younger, younger, what is this be trying to

325
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: wrap and then um? But I think it's like you

326
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: can't let stuff like that keep you from going after

327
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: what you want. You know, there's always gonna be somebody

328
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: like talking ship or or making you feel stupid or

329
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: make you um, we're telling you that, like you're you.

330
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: You can't do it, you know what I'm saying. So

331
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: it's like, what what's the point? I feel like life

332
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: is too short to worry about what other people think

333
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: about you what you want. When I see people like

334
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: yourself or Cardi B or people that like transcend, like

335
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, go against the norm or the tradition, there's

336
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: a certain level of value and appreciation because by you

337
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: doing that, you just opened a door cracked in a

338
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: window for someone else to come through. So I do

339
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. Like when they were like

340
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: at one point, remember like if you saw an Asian

341
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: character was just karate or and there were these very small,

342
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, roles similar to like you know what blacks

343
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: had to go through too. But when you're able to

344
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: break through that bearer. It's like, did you have anybody

345
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: ever approached you like dude if it wasn't for you, Yeah,

346
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely, you know, especially since in the

347
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: beginning of my YouTube videos, I was giving a lot

348
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: of relationship advice to like teenagers, and I feel like

349
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: it was a lot of young Asian dudes who had

350
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: no type of role model, where didn't really have anybody

351
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: they could talk to that we're writing me letters and

352
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: asked me for advice just on how to be confident,

353
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: how to approach girls, whatever, whatever. So I get a

354
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: lot of kids that come up to me like, yo, man,

355
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: started watching you when I was in junior high I

356
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: just graduated college. You help me get through high school.

357
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: So that's that's dope for me because the main reason

358
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: I got into it was because I didn't see anybody

359
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: that looked like me that I could look up to,

360
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: you know. And and my old stage named Timothy Day

361
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: I get it was actually from an old episode of

362
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: The Fresh Prince because I was a big like Fresh

363
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Prince fan, and I remember watching The Fresh Prince and

364
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: and there was an episode where Carlton's tucks like shrank

365
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: at the cleaners or whatever, so he needed another tuck

366
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: to go to dance. We had to get a last

367
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: minute like they do little corny tucks, right, And there

368
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: was this group of nerds that walked up and one

369
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: nerd Asian dude, was like, hey, Carlton, nice tucks. And

370
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, damn, this is the first time I've

371
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: ever seen an Asian dude on The Fresh Prince or

372
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: even on TV like ever. And I remember thinking like,

373
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: if this is how the rest of the world, like,

374
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: if you don't know any Asian people and you just

375
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: love The Fresh Prince, this is the first time you

376
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: see Asian dude. This is your only perception Asian dudes, right,

377
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: And I just remember thinking like, man, that that's not

378
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: me and that's not like anybody I know, and I

379
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: need to get out there and just rep for my people,

380
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, pretty awesome. Why did you decide

381
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: to like switch your name back? You know it? It

382
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: was a combination of things, like the quarantine kind of

383
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: had me like thinking about life right and thinking about

384
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: like I was like, yo, if I if I got

385
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: Corona and died like right now, like I don't know

386
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: if I want people to remember me, but it's like

387
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: YouTube name. I can't you know, like and in the

388
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, if I see myself

389
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: like accepting awards and getting like Academy awards and stuff,

390
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like, oh, what's um. You know,

391
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: this is my my silly name, my internet name. Timilarly

392
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: they like get know. I was like, let me, let

393
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: me um. I was thinking about just like my legacy

394
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: as a person, and if my whole m O also

395
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: is to make Asian dudes proud, let me fully embrace

396
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: my long ass tie last name because you know, Originally,

397
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: like you kind of think I need a Hollywood name

398
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: because like Hollywood is not gonna be able to pronounce

399
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: my name right. But then I was like, man, if

400
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartzenegger can can be very good. Yeah. I'm like,

401
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: if I actually see myself being at the at the

402
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: level that I want to be, then people will have

403
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: to know my name. So I was like, okay, let me,

404
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: let me, let me change it up, go back to

405
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: my my government name, and you know, not only like um,

406
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: just have a more like professional down the name, but

407
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: also like you know, represent from my people and you know,

408
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: for my dad and uh, and just kind of like

409
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: fully be to that. Yeah, yeah, it sounds sounds good.

410
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: So I know you're like a foodie just like myself.

411
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: But you did something that I thought was pretty kind

412
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: of so it was kind of questionable. I couldn't even

413
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: watch it fully. But you think I know what I'm

414
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: don't want to say, all right, you guess it. You're

415
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: talking about when I when I eat my wife's place. Yes,

416
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I was just like a part of me would feel like, man,

417
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: this man loves me, but another part of me is like, yo,

418
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: if we were in a desert island, he would maybe

419
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: eat what. That's the thing about it is. I didn't

420
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: do it out of love for her at all. I

421
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: just wanted to do it. So but it was like,

422
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: how do you tell the hospital? Hey, by the way,

423
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: can you put that placenta in a free success? I'd

424
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: like to take it home and cook it, I asked. Beforehand.

425
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: I was like, what if I want to take this placenza?

426
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: How you guys feel about that? Because the placensa just

427
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: gets thrown away, um if no one wants it. But

428
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: it looks like a steak like so I thought placensa

429
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: was like a liquid in a tube or something. Placensa

430
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: is and it's in there right now, You've got one

431
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: in there. It's an organ that develops while you're pregnant,

432
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, to help be the baby, but also suck

433
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: out like bad. Uh yeah all right, And it's like

434
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: it basically looks like a pancake organ situation. And so

435
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: after you give birth, you're gonna push that out. And

436
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: the hospital just was like, yeah, you can take it.

437
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: You gotta bring your own cooler. So I bought a

438
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: little Eglu cooler and can I have some ice? So

439
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: if one of the ladies, the nurse ladies brought me

440
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: some ice, um putting the cooler, and then they put

441
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: the placens in a little plastic bag for me not

442
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: doing the cool So like while she was pushing, you

443
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: were like, hey, don't waste that. Make sure you don't

444
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: get the ground. So behind the scenes that have to

445
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: dig and while out you guys all have to write

446
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: your own or do you guys? You battle it out

447
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: and then you go to the stage. Now know what

448
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: happens is, Um, what happens is they'll kind of they'll

449
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: tell you who's done to be on the next the

450
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: other team and some people, I mean some people definitely

451
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: go in like you know, like with some jokes. Ready, um,

452
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: I'll have a couple of jokes in the back of

453
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: my mind sometimes. But if anything, you know, right before

454
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: we shoot the wild style, which is where we actually battle, um,

455
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of are just like looking up

456
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: and down everybody on that team, like, all right, who who?

457
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: What can I say about this person? And sometimes people

458
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: mess up and they'll come up to me and be like, hey,

481
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: because a destination is something you know is there. You

482

Speaker 1: just gotta keep on heading towards it, you know what

483

Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, and you might not you might not

484
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: go the same way you thought you had to go, like,

485
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: you might have to pivot and go take different um detours,

486
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: but if you keep on moving forward towards that destination,

487
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: you'll get there. So that's how yeah, right, you just

488
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: come up with that, you know, I've been saying that

489
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,720

490
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: you gotta look at your goals as a destination, not

491
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,080
