Ever since I was five years old, my mom had me believe that anything I do would make me sick.
2
You go outside without a jacket, you get the flu.
3
You go to bed with the fan on, pneumonia!
4
God forbid you fall asleep with wet hair.
5
You don't want to wake up.
6
That's it.
7
You're dead.
8
That's it.
9
You're dead.
10
That's fear-mongering, man.
11
I'm not scared of anything anymore.
12
I don't think I have any fear anymore.
13
I used to watch that show Fear Factor.
14
You guys remember that show?
15
Joe Rogan hosted Fear Factor to make you face your fears, like jump off a helicopter, eat crazy shit, like pig intestines and sentry egg.
16
I ate that shit for breakfast.
17
This is nothing to me.
18
Fear is not a factor.
19
When I was like 10 years old, little boy, little boy, I was very scared because there's one kid, pretty sad story, in my class he had childhood leukemia
20
and they lost all his hair to chemo and everything looking real frail
21
and I was really scared I was like oh my god is he gonna be okay?
22
And my mom, she's a great mother, she saw how scared I was so she came up to console me she was like Jimmy,
23
Jimmy, you see this is what happens when you I didn't play too much video games.
24
That's fear-mongering, okay?
25
I never played a game of FIFA after that.
26
My mom was like the original fake news.
27
Good to see everyone here, man.
28
I think collectively as people, we all been through a lot in the last few years, man.
29
And we made it out.
30
I made it out, we're better for it, you know?
31
I feel like I mentally aged like 20 years.
32
Like the first day I walked outside, for some reason, I just walked out like an old Chinese man.
33
I just came out of my house like this.
34
I was wearing flip-flops in a puffer vest.
35
My outfit made no sense.
36
My feet were cold, chest sweat.
37
My posture looked like shit, but I was still judging everyone.
38
I'm just like...
39
I'm an old man now.
40
I don't even like going outside anymore.
41
All my friends, they're back to normal, right?
42
They're like, oh, Jimmy, you want to go to Coachella?
43
I'm like, nah.
44
No seats.
45
That would look fun to me.
46
Six hours standing in the desert?
47
Fuck that.
48
You see all these kids like with the Instagram post, you know, it's always like people just like jumping around
49
Dancing and then all these buff dudes got like girls on their shoulder.
50
I'm like dude, you know, I'm going to concert.
51
You're doing CrossFit How's that fun?
52
The only concert I've been to this year.
53
I took my girlfriend to a Don McClain concert Yeah, you guys know who that is?
54
Yeah, couple people.
55
Thank you.
56
Thank you Tom McClain for you guys that don't know saying the song bye-bye Miss American Pie Yeah, he's old as shit, dude.
57
He's 77 years old and so was his audience.
58
It was my favorite concert I've ever been to.
59
On a ticket it says the show started at eight, started at 7.59.
60
He didn't have an opener, you know?
61
He just came on stage with a guitar and started singing.
62
It was awesome.
63
Nobody stood up to like obstruct my view because frankly, everyone had a bad hip.
64
It was great.
65
Still got home in time to watch 10 o'clock evening news.
66
That's my kind of evening, you know what I mean?
67
I don't like going outside anymore.
68
Too many crazy people, too many weirdos.
69
One time I went to this dive bar in a military town, San Diego, big military town.
70
I love my military, okay?
71
But I think sometimes, yeah, yeah, but I think sometimes military people get a little too passionate, you know?
72
Thank you, thank you.
73
Exactly, my point right there.
74
Thank you.
75
but they're just too passionate.
76
Like I was at a dive bar, this one military brother came up to me, he was just like, hey man!
77
I wanna buy you a drink.
78
I'm like, no, no, thank you, I can buy my own drink, thank you.
79
He was like, no!
80
I wanna buy your drink.
81
So at this point, I thought either he wanted to take a selfie, or he wanted to fuck me.
82
So I'm like, no sir, I think I can buy my own drink.
83
And then he started telling me his whole life story, he's like, you don't understand.
84
I want to buy you a drink because I was stationed in Okinawa for four years
85
and you guys have been nothing but nice to me.
86
I'm like, you guys?
87
You guys?
88
Okinawa's in Japan, I'm Chinese, sir.
89
And he's like, it doesn't matter, man.
90
It doesn't even matter.
91
I'm like, sure, I think it does matter, all right?
92
I'm pretty sure the only reason you were stationed in Japan was to keep an eye out on Chinese people like me.
93
It does matter.
94
He was like, it doesn't even matter, man.
95
I still love Pad Thai, okay?
96
Maybe that guy run into BTS on his next tour. Who knows?
97
My point of saying all of this is Asian people, we don't all look alike.
98
We don't all sound alike.
99
You know, we don't even do anything alike.
100
We're just people, you know?
101
Right?
102
Like, everybody's different.
103
Thank you, white lady.
104
Thank you.
105
Thank you, one white lady.
106
Appreciate it.
107
Thank you.
108
She teaches magnet school down the street, a lot of Asian students.
109
So tonight, I want to offer you guys I'm gonna offer you guys an advanced lesson
110
on how to tell Asian people apart, okay?
111
Yeah, that's right.
112
I'm so good at telling Asian people apart, I don't even need to look at you.
113
I can tell you what kind of Asian somebody is by the sound they make when they're disappointed.
114
Because disappointment is our strongest emotion.
115
Whenever we get disappointed, our ancestor just comes out, And you can't hide that, you know?
116
Like for example, I'm Chinese, I know Chinese people very well, okay?
117
When Chinese people get disappointed, we're just disgusted.
118
We don't wanna look at you.
119
When you disappoint a Chinese person, they just like, oh shoo, shh.
120
Like they just walked into a smoky room and they gotta clear it, just like, shh.
121
See, that's Chinese people.
122
Japanese people, when Japanese people get disappointed, they just want to know why.
123
They ask you a question.
124
When a Japanese person gets disappointed, they're just like, eh?
125
Eh?
126
And that's it.
127
You didn't go disappoint a Korean person, I wouldn't recommend that.
128
This Korean brother might fuck you up, okay?
129
Korean people are intense, they're ready to fight.
130
But they're my favorite type of people because they're very emotionally honest.
131
A Korean person will let you know when they're disappointed.
132
They're real guttural with it, you know what I mean?
133
When you disappoint a Korean person, they're like, Ooh!
134
You, shiba-e- But they're still very Asian, so they still wrote polite.
135
They'll thank you with that.
136
And they're like, oi, shiba-e- mida.
137
I don't even speak Korean.
138
But I watch Squid Games.
139
Right?
140
Love that show.
141
See, that's great representation.
142
Number one TV show in the world, man.
143
And they just spoke their native tongue.
144
That's representation right there, man.
145
I'm proud of it.
146
I'm proud.
147
I'll try.
148
I'll try.
149
But I'm most proud of the fact that I finally have an easy Halloween costume.
150
Some of you guys don't understand the struggle for an Asian guy when it comes to Halloween.
151
Our outfits are limited.
152
I was Bruce Lee for six years.
153
But this last year, I had the best Halloween costume.
154
All I did I went to Amazon, got like a matching like track suit for three numbers on my chest, and I found myself an Indian friend.
155
It was like...
156
It was such a great Squid Game costume, somebody came up to me, it's like, oh my God, you look just like the girl in Squid Game.
157
I was like, oh, Shiva!
158
Lida.
159
Proud of all the representation out there, man.
160
That's right.
161
Have you guys seen the show Silicon Valley?
162
Thank you.
163
Thank you.
164
Thank you.
165
That was my first big break, man.
166
I was so grateful to be part of that show.
167
But that was a few years ago, and I always felt like I was the only Asian person representing, right?
168
I felt so much weight on my shoulder.
169
Like, every year, we got very lucky.
170
We're getting nominated for an Emmy, so we get to go to a great ceremony.
171
But every year, we knew we were going to lose.
172
Because all the good shows have front row seats, you know?
173
Veeb, Game of Thrones are all here.
174
We're way the fuck in the back by the exit sign. But it's okay.
175
Win or lose, I was there to represent.
176
I made sure I made my round, say hi to everyone, so they know there's Asian presence, you know?
177
That's right.
178
So one year, one year after we lost, everybody left, I walked down the front row to say hi to some of my favorite actors.
179
And I saw some of them.
180
I'm like, oh my God, that's...
181
That's Emilia Clarke.
182
That's Khaleesi.
183
That's Jon Snow over there, you know?
184
And then there's Rachel Brosnahan.
185
Do you guys know who she is?
186
Yeah.
187
I love her.
188
She plays the marvelous Miss Maisel.
189
Great show, right?
190
It's an awesome show.
191
And I did a movie with her a few years ago, so I decided to say hi.
192
I was like, oh my God, Rachel.
193
It's so great to see you.
194
Congratulations on everything.
195
And she was like, oh, okay.
196
I'm like, okay.
197
She probably just forgot who I was.
198
I'm like, look, we did a movie like six years ago called Patriot's Day.
199
You were awesome in that movie.
200
I just want to congratulate you on everything you've done so far.
201
And she was like, oh, yeah, sure.
202
And I'm like, oh, really?
203
Is the marvelous Miss Maisel a bitch?
204
But I wasn't going to act out of pocket.
205
I was there to represent.
206
So I was very nice.
207
I was just like, oh, it's okay.
208
You just don't remember.
209
Anyways, I just want to congratulate you for all the nominations on Marvelous Miss Maisel.
210
You're awesome.
211
And she was like, oh, I'm not Rachel Brosnahan.
212
I'm Evan Rachel Wood from Westworld.
213
And I was like, holy shit.
214
I'm the racist person here.
215
I think all white people look alike.
216
Everybody in the front row was judging me.
217
John Stone was staring me down.
218
I'm like, you're a bastard, you can't even stare.
219
And I didn't know what to do, right?
220
I was profusely sweating, my face was flushed red.
221
So I was just like, oh my God, I am so sorry.
222
But either way, it's so nice to meet you.
223
My name is Awkwafina.
224
And then I just...
225
That's right.
226
That's why it's good to have other representation out there.
227
Asian people, we don't all look alike until we need to.
228
I got a girlfriend now.
229
Thank you.
230
I love her very much, man.
231
She's an amazing person.
232
She's very successful.
233
My girlfriend's a venture capitalist.
234
Yeah, fucking jackpot, right?
235
You know?
236
It's great, it's great.
237
For you guys that don't know what a venture capital means, it means that I'm the poorest person she knows.
238
And what that really means is I'm her sugar baby.
239
So it's great.
240
That's right, that's right.
241
Gender equality, that's what I'm talking about.
242
It's time for men to get taken care of, that's right.
243
See that brother high-fiving his girl?
244
Appreciate you, man.
245
Fellow sugar baby, come on.
246
That's right, that's right.
247
I love her, man.
248
I'm trying to be a better boyfriend.
249
I'm new to this boyfriend stuff, right?
250
I used to take everything so personally.
251
Like, every time we get into a fight, I'm like, babe, why are you mad at me?
252
I'm the perfect boyfriend.
253
Wrong answer.
254
Fellas, fellas, if your girl's mad at you, you can't take that shit personally, because it's not even about you.
255
She doesn't even know what she's mad about.
256
You just happen to be there, you know what I mean?
257
You're a victim of circumstance, man.
258
So it's not your job to engage in an argument, it's your job to defuse the situation.
259
You gotta jujitsu that shit until you get to the bottom of the real prom.
260
Like the other way she was mad at me about something.
261
She was like, babe, I feel like we don't even like go on date nights anymore.
262
I'm like, okay.
263
I hear you.
264
But what's really going on?
265
And she was like, well, sometimes I feel like you like hanging out with your buddies more than you like hanging out with me.
266
And I'm like, okay.
267
I hear you.
268
But what's really going on?
269
And then she takes a deep breath.
270
And she was like, remember last week of my birthday?
271
Heather brought a cousin and she didn't know my name.
272
I was like, see, that's your problem right there.
273
You ain't got nothing to do with me.
274
Heather Cousins is a bitch, you know?
275
Fuck her, man.
276
Let's focus my energy on her.
277
I'm trying to be a better communicator, man.
278
My girl always wants me to talk about my feelings.
279
She's like, babe, I wish you'd talk about your feelings more.
280
I'm like, I feel fine.
281
What more do you want me to say?
282
I don't know.
283
I'm not that emotionally involved.
284
I don't know what else.
285
I'm fine.
286
But don't keep asking me that, because the fifth time you asked me that, I might not be fun.
287
The fifth time you asked me that, some dark shit is gonna come out.
288
It's like, babe, how are you feeling?
289
I don't know, I'm angry all the time.
290
Because my dad yelled at me after ping pong practice.
291
See, guys and girls were just different, man.
292
Girls are so emotionally evolved.
293
You know, we even hang out different.
294
One night I came home early, my girl was having a girls' night at the house.
295
I've never seen anything like that.
296
The TV was off.
297
Seven girls sitting in a circle, making direct eye contact with each other.
298
Every candle in the house was lit.
299
And I walked by, I'm like, what is this witchcraft?
300
And I just backed into my own room.
301
Fellas, we hang out different.
302
Guys, when we hang out, we sit in a straight line.
303
TV on full blast.
304
Zero eye contact with each other.
305
My girl came home early, she was so confused.
306
She was like, babe, you guys didn't talk for like six hours.
307
I'm like, yeah, isn't that fucking awesome?
308
That's us.
309
That's guys.
310
But in a relationship, it's important to speak the same language.
311
My girl asked me, she was like, babe, what's your love language?
312
I'm like, what?
313
She's like, you know, your love language, like, how do you convey love to your partners and loved ones?
314
Like, for example, a love language could be words of affirmation.
315
I'm like, words of affirmation?
316
I was raised by Asian parents.
317
I've never heard one word of affirmation in my life.
318
Nobody ever told me, Jimmy, you're so great, you can do it.
319
They're like, don't fuck it up.
320
Their love language is verbal abuse.
321
I'm trying to figure out my love languages.
322
Physical touch, right?
323
That's another love language?
324
Nobody touched me until I was 22.
325
I'm not familiar with that.
326
What are some other love languages?
327
I like every woman just screaming out at their front, act of service, gift giving.
328
I think gift giving is a good one.
329
I love giving gifts to my girl.
330
She loves giving gifts to me.
331
We love that, right?
332
Like for example, I love buying my girl shoes.
333
She loves shoes and we wear the same shoe size.
334
The perfect gift for the whole family.
335
You know what I mean?
336
These are her shoes tonight, you know?
337
Gets me perfect.
338
That's right.
339
And in return, I let her wear all of my Jordans.
340
Yeah, guys, you guys know that's love.
341
Because Jordan's, to guys, that's our most prized possession.
342
If we let you slip into our Jordans, that's like you letting us slip into you.
343
You know?
344
Same thing.
345
But sometimes, sometimes I get a little nervous because her feet's a little dirty, okay?
346
And she's a white girl, so her feet extra dirty.
347
Like, you know what I mean?
348
Like, I don't know...
349
White people, I don't know what the fuck you guys do with your feet all day!
350
You guys just barefoot all the time, frolicking around like Jenny from Forrest Gump, you know?
351
White people, you guys got some strong-ass feet, man.
352
Just 120 degrees outside, hot cement, just like psss.
353
Y'all got some hunter-gatherer feet.
354
See, every culture, we got different feet etiquette, all right?
355
All right?
356
White people want to get in touch with Mother Earth.
357
That's great.
358
Black people, on the other hand, I lived with a black roommate for six years.
359
Never saw his toes once.
360
He came out the shower with socks on, man.
361
I'm like, what the?
362
You got a sock drawer in there, brother?
363
Asian people, you guys know the rule.
364
When you come into the house, you take your shoes off, right?
365
You're like, we all know that.
366
Yeah.
367
Yeah.
368
But our feet actually never touch the floor.
369
Because when you take your shoes off at the house, we got two pair of house shoes ready for you.
370
And then when you walk outside, we got two pair of Crocs ready for you.
371
And then when you come back in the bedroom, we got two other pair of slippers that we stole from a hotel in Vegas.
372
We're ready.
373
Our feet never touch the floor, we got baby soft feet.
374
I think Asian people, our most natural love language is acts of service, right?
375
That's what our parents did to us.
376
They might never say, I love you, but they did a lot of nice things for us.
377
Every night, I don't care how busy my parents were, they'll come home and make a five-course meal.
378
That's love right there, right?
379
You got to give it up for them.
380
You got to give it up.
381
That's right.
382
In our culture, food is love.
383
I love cooking for my girl.
384
We love cooking together.
385
Food is love.
386
That's why I hate watching all these reality cooking shows where they make food so freaking stressful
387
Like all these guys with aggressive tattoos and they just sweating it in the kitchen.
388
They're like, yes chef Yes, chef!
389
Two minutes!
390
Two minutes!
391
It's still raw!
392
It's still raw!
393
And they're just making fucking scallops
394
There's two items on the menu and they can't handle that shit You go to any Chinese restaurant,
395
there's about 485 items on the menu And there's one dude back there in the kitchen.
396
He's not even a chef, he's somebody's uncle from Hong Kong.
397
And he knows how to make everything in under 30 seconds.
398
That guy's the real hero, you know what I mean?
399
In a relationship, I think it's important to know how you convey love, but it's just as important to know how you receive love.
400
You gotta be vulnerable and let your partner do nice things for you.
401
See, I'm not very good at that.
402
I'm terrible at like directly asking for things that I want.
403
So instead, I just drop little hints.
404
That's called being passive aggressive.
405
Don't do that.
406
Don't do that.
407
Like for example, I love watching these YouTube videos of Japanese housewives making bento boxes.
408
It's very nice, very cute.
409
It's like a little ASMR, you know?
410
It's just really nice.
411
This Japanese woman wakes up at 6 a.m every day to make her working husband a bento box.
412
But I can't ask my venture capitalist girlfriend to make me a bento box.
413
I'm not an idiot, I'm a sugar baby.
414
I know my role.
415
So instead of asking her directly, I just drop little hints.
416
Like we'll be sitting on the couch together.
417
I just pull out my phone and pretend I accidentally stumbled onto this video.
418
I'm like, oh, what is this?
419
Bento boxes?
420
Oh my god, it's so cute.
421
What is that, like a rice ball shaped like a panda?
422
Look, look, look, look.
423
Wow, so she makes this every day for him?
424
Wow, she must love him so much.
425
I thought I was being slick.
426
Until she came out to one of my shows.
427
And she heard this joke.
428
And she was really upset, man, and rightfully so.
429
I was just up here talking shit, right?
430
We went home, we got into a big fight.
431
She was like, babe, that's bullshit, okay?
432
If you want me to do something, why don't you just ask me directly?
433
And if you really want somebody to make you bento boxes, why don't you just go find a Japanese woman?
434
I'm like, babe, I'm sorry you feel that way, okay?
435
But I think you're missing the point.
436
You don't have to be Japanese to make bento boxes.
437
That's right.
438
That's right.
439
So now I'm making her bento boxes every day.
440
That's how I show my love.
441
You gotta love the people around you.
442
You gotta be nice to the people around you.
443
Your partner, your family, your friends.
444
You gotta keep your day ones around, man.
445
You know, everybody when I was coming up in the game, they gave me this advice.
446
They're like, hey Jimmy, you wanna be successful?
447
Hang out with successful people.
448
Because birds of a feather flock together.
449
That's right, man, that's right.
450
You guys heard this before, right?
451
It's fucking bullshit, okay?
452
Successful people are so boring.
453
I hung out with successful people.
454
They got a successful job.
455
They got a successful family.
456
They don't have time to hang out with your mediocre ass.
457
So my real advice to everyone is to find yourself more loser friends.
458
That's right, that's right, that's right.
459
I see some of you guys clapping.
460
The ones that are not, you're probably the loser friend, which is fine, I love you.
461
I love you.
462
I love all my friends, man.
463
All my day ones, I used to live in a one-bedroom apartment with three comedians.
464
Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that.
465
I was proud of that.
466
It was all good.
467
They're still my close friends.
468
One of my best friends, his name is Guam, Guam Felix.
469
Yeah, he's a comedian.
470
He's named after the island he was born on, Guam.
471
Like, you know you kind of hood when you name after the island you were born on.
472
Like, if I came out tonight and they introduced me as Hong Kong Jimmy, I'll probably be selling drugs outside, you know what I mean?
473
But Guam's one of my greatest friends, man.
474
He's just a good dude.
475
He's just a happy-go-around guy, you know?
476
He crashed in my living room for months, and I asked him, like, hey, Guam, you got any plans?
477
You gonna go get a job or something?
478
He was like, nah, dog.
479
I'm gonna get on that government disability, homie.
480
And I'm like, okay, are you disabled?
481
He was like, yeah, I think so, dog.
482
I threw it on my back when I was 19, homie.
483
I'm like, okay, you're 42 right now.
484
I don't think that's gonna work out for you.
485
See, Guam is great.
486
He lives by the creed where anything good that happens to him, he makes sure to thank God.
487
Right, that's great.
488
And anything bad that happens to him, he makes sure to blame the government.
489
It's a great way to live when you take zero personal responsibility.
490
Like, he'll say shit like, oh, damn.
491
They gave me a speeding ticket and took away my license, dog.
492
You see, that's how the government fucks you.
493
I'm like, no, I'm pretty sure that's how you fuck yourself.
494
And then on the positive side, he'll say things like, I just want to thank God, because he let me stay with you, dawg.
495
I'm like, no, you just thank me, motherfucker.
496
I'll let you stay with me.
497
I love Guam, man.
498
He's just a happy-go-lucky guy.
499
Doesn't have a lot of ambition in life.
500
His dream in life is to win the lottery.
501
His catchphrase is, when I win the lottery, dog.
502
But he doesn't have good goals for when he does win the lottery, because he'll say shit like, when I win the lottery, we going to the buffet, dog.
503
I'm like, Gwon, we're gonna do that right now, bro.
504
But Gwon was a man of his word.
505
Not only would he buy lottery tickets, he stood in line in every single game show in LA to try to win his lottery.
506
And he finally got on this game show called Let's Make a Deal.
507
Have you guys seen that?
508
Yes, the show that comes on, hosted by Wayne Brady before The Price is Right.
509
But in order to get on that show, you have to wear a costume.
510
And Guam is like a big Pacific Islander brother.
511
So his costume options were limited.
512
He could either be Moana or The Rock.
513
You know?
514
So he decided to make his own costume.
515
He cut up a blue bed sheet, draped it over his body, and then he got a Chinese rice patty hat and he just wore it.
516
And I'm like, what the fuck?
517
What, he dressed up as Ho Chi Minh or some shit?
518
And he was like, no, dawg, I'm master raiding for Mortal Kombat, homie.
519
This is a true story.
520
He went on national TV dressed up as Master Raiden.
521
And this is actually an inspirational story.
522
He actually won.
523
Yeah.
524
He won the big deal of the day.
525
It was a $5,000 living room set.
526
Which was perfect for my living room.
527
I'm not gonna ruin the living room.
528
But he dreamed big, he wanted to win his big prize.
529
So he traded it in for the super deal of the week, and I'm like, this fucking idiot.
530
He traded it in for one out of three chance to win $50,000 cash.
531
One of the biggest prizes on the show ever.
532
And he won! That was his lottery!
533
His dream came true!
534
I was watching TV, it was the most magical moment!
535
and money start falling down on his rice paddy hat.
536
And he was so happy, he started doing jumping jacks and shit, and starts swimming in the pool of money.
537
And I was watching, I'm like, I knew this motherfucker's not disabled, look at him.
538
He's very capable.
539
And he started crying on national TV, he was so happy, and Wayne Brady was like, Guam, congratulations, what are you gonna do with that $50,000?
540
And he was like, we going to the buffet dog!
541
That's right.
542
That's right.
543
That's a good friend, man.
544
That's why you keep your friends around.
545
He went from the biggest loser I knew to the biggest winner I knew.
546
Took care of all his boys.
547
Took us to a lot of buffets.
548
He even took us to the fanciest restaurant he knew.
549
Buca de Beppo.
550
It was awesome.
551
He was pulling.
552
But that money didn't last long.
553
That 50 grand lasted about three months.
554
And not only that, he didn't pay any taxes on it.
555
So now he owes the IRS another 20 on top of that shit.
556
And I'm like, Guam, this is horrible.
557
You're worse off than you ever were.
558
And all he said to me was like, see?
559
That's how the government fucks you, dawg.
560
That's right.
561
Keep your close friends around.
562
Save your money people
563
That's why I really like watching real people game shows I hate watching celebrity family feud
564
Because they always make the celebrity choose a charity and donate money.
565
I'm like some of us want to keep our money man Hey look, I know I sound like a bad person.
566
Okay, but I love helping people.
567
I love the concept of donating money.
568
I Just can't do it I want to, but my mom wouldn't lend me.
569
Every time I even just think about donating money, she comes out of nowhere.
570
She's like, who, who are you donating to?
571
I'm like, mom, I don't know, like, Save the Children Foundation?
572
She's like, you don't even know those children.
573
Children can be horrible.
574
Okay, fine, mom, I'll donate to help the hospitals, like feedahospital.com to help out all the nurses and doctors.
575
And she said, okay, Jimmy, okay.
576
The doctors make more money than you.
577
They should donate to you, okay?
578
I make a website at feedacomedian.com right now.
579
She just guilt trips me, you know?
580
You donate to anyone, you donate to me.
581
I give a birth to you, okay?
582
Can you imagine I'm on Family Feud?
583
Steve's like, Jimmy, what charity are you playing for?
584
Feed of comedian.com.
585
All proceeds go to my mom.
586
My mom's so tight with my money, she wouldn't even let me buy her something nice.
587
For her last birthday, I bought her a nice iPad.
588
Brand new iPad.
589
I thought I was a good Asian son, right?
590
And my mom's like, oh, no, it's too expensive.
591
I'm like, Mom, it's okay, we can afford it.
592
Just enjoy the iPad.
593
She was like, no, Jimmy, please return it.
594
Return it.
595
Return it and just give me the cash.
596
We're practical.
597
That's about the bottom line.
598
See, we live in a very frivolous society, man.
599
Everybody loves to brag about how much shit they have, how much money they make.
600
We all brag.
601
We all guilty of this.
602
We all just do it in subtle, different ways.
603
Like white people, for example.
604
White people never brag about how much money they got.
605
They always just brag about how expensive their life is.
606
Like, oh, Joey just started private school.
607
It's so expensive.
608
And our remodel is totally going over budget.
609
Oh, and you wouldn't believe how much money we spent going to Fiji.
610
I'm like, okay, Katie, I see your life, okay?
611
It's a luxury.
612
It's good for you.
613
Okay.
614
Black people on the other hand a lot more straightforward
615
Black people just tell you exactly how much money they spent on something It's great.
616
You guys see they're like my black friends or even like rappers, right?
617
They love to brag.
618
They're like this car 80,000 My mama's house 500,000 This chain a million dollars man
619
I'm like, okay, you clearly don't have your priorities straight
620
But I appreciate the honesty People love to brag about how much money they spent.
621
Asian people, on the other hand, we do the exact opposite.
622
We love to brag about how little money we spent on some shit.
623
Because the art is in the savings.
624
You never pay full price.
625
Like my mom, her catchphrase is, Guess how much?
626
Guess how much?
627
Yeah.
628
That's our people.
629
You guys ever play Guess How Much?
630
My mom would come home with something new, like a watch.
631
She would be like, Jimmy, Jimmy, guess how much?
632
Guess how much?
633
I'm like, Mom, I don't know, it's a very nice watch, like $5,000.
634
And she was like, no. It's $200.
635
Jimmy, my house?
636
My house.
637
This house?
638
Guess how much?
639
Guess how much?
640
I'm like, Mom, I don't know, you live in a very nice house, like a million dollars?
641
She was like, no!
642
It's half off, someone died in it.
643
And if you know the rules of the game, you always guess high.
644
So you make the other person feel good about their purchases.
645
Never guess too low.
646
If you ever guess too low, that's the ultimate insult to an Asian person, okay?
647
One time my mom came home with some new shoes, I guess too low.
648
I've never seen her so disappointed in me.
649
She was like, Jimmy, Jimmy, guess how much?
650
Guess how much?
651
I'm like, Mom, I don't know, very nice shoes, like $200.
652
She was like, oh, yo.
653
Do you even know about shoes?
654
These are $500 Jimmy shoes, okay?
655
Better Jimmy than you.
656
That's how we prank, people.
657
You gotta love it, man.
658
I used to be embarrassed about all these things.
659
I thought my mom was cheap, she spoke with an accent, she made me Chinese food.
660
When I got older, I realized it's all those things that made me different is what makes me interesting now.
661
The tide has turned, man.
662
Everybody wanna be more Asian, I'm telling you.
663
Yeah, that's right.
664
Everybody wanna be BTS.
665
Everybody wanna eat Xiao Long Bao.
666
And every parent I know is trying to send their kid to Chinese immersion school, just in case we take over this shit, you know what I mean?
667
Gotta be proud, man.
668
You gotta be proud of how you grew up.
669
Gotta be proud of your parents, right?
670
I'm a good Asian kid.
671
I'm great to my parents.
672
I'll never, ever disrespect them in front of them.
673
You know what I mean?
674
I'm so proud of my Asian people.
675
There's so much excellence out there going on, a lot of people representing.
676
It's never been a better time to be Asian.
677
I say this every year, I know.
678
But truly, this is our time.
679
I mean, come on, we got BTS now.
680
Come on.
681
That's us, that's our people.
682
They're doing it.
683
I'm so proud of, man.
684
Biggest band in the world, probably ever since the Backstreet Boys, and they don't even have to speak English.
685
I love my BTS, man.
686
Even white people know BTS now.
687
That's progress.
688
That's progress.
689
I had a 15-year-old white kid come up to me, come up to me trying to explain to me the different members of BTS.
690
He was like, oh, this is Jungkook.
691
He's kind of like the lead singer.
692
And that's Jimin.
693
He's really cool.
694
And he also raps.
695
I'm like, dude, they look the same to me.
696
I didn't want to say it.
697
I couldn't say it as an Asian person.
698
But they all just look like me with pink hair.
699
I can turn the whole show to a BTS concert right now.
700
All right?
701
Yeah, this is Jimmy.
702
This is Jimin right here.
703
You don't know.
704
You don't know.
705
You don't know.
706
You don't know.
707
Smoke like butter.
708
No, I'm not gonna do that.
709
I'm not gonna do that.
710
I'm not gonna do that.
711
I love my people, man.
712
I love BTS.
713
You guys probably heard in the news, they gotta go to mandatory Korean army.
714
Right, the most popular people in the world.
715
They gotta go sign up for Korean military.
716
That's some gangster shit.
717
Imagine how scared you'll be when you encounter BTS on the battlefield.
718
You're in battle, you're already kinda shook, you're in a field of grass, and a little puff of pink hair just pops up.
719
You're like, yo, what the fuck was that?
720
Is that a unicorn?
721
And then six more pink hair pop up.
722
You're like, we're surrounded!
723
And the last thing you see is just this.
724
I see some of you guys still wearing your masks.
725
I still wear my mask, no shame in that, right?
726
It's all good, it's all good.
727
I wear my mask not because I think I'm gonna get sick, but because I just don't wanna talk to anybody anymore.
728
But I'm still surprised when people come up to me, they're like, oh my God, Jimmy?
729
I'm like, how did you know?
730
How did you know?
731
How many other Asian guys did you go up to before it happened to be me?
732
You don't know, you don't know.
733
Underneath this mask, I could be Awkwafina.
734
You don't know.
735
Look, I'm not saying that all Asian people look alike, okay?
736
I'm just saying that me and Awkwafina look alike.
737
And we both look like we should be in BTS.
738
Love all the representation out there, man.
739
But it's not just celebrities.
740
I'm very proud of the everyday people out there representing.
741
That's the important part, you know what I mean?
742
No, no, no. I'm very happy for this one particular person.
743
I'm really happy for that old Chinese lady in Chinatown who's been wearing a mask since 1995.
744
Her life just suddenly made sense.
745
Before the mask mandate, everybody looked at her, it's like, oh, why is she wearing a mask?
746
That's so random.
747
She's not random, she's a fucking trailblazer, okay?
748
She started wearing a mask, now everybody has to wear a mask.
749
She's like the Kendall Jenner of Chinatown.
750
She must have been so happy when this mask mandate happened, just laughing at everyone.
751
It's like, ha ha, look at you, idiots.
752
I told you to put on a mask.
753
No, the CDC follows me.
754
She was prepared.
755
She didn't just have a mask.
756
She had gloves on from when she's driving.
757
She had the full face shield that comes down, looking like Daft Punk.
758
Asian people, we're ready for this shit.
759
Social distancing, we've been doing that for centuries.
760
We don't like all that hugging and touching and all that.
761
You know, when we see each other, just a nice bow.
762
That is socially distanced.
763
If you're really Asian, you ever see two really Asian people, it turns into a bowing contest to see who's more respectful,
764
to see who can bow lower and more away from each other
765
until you just fold it in half and you go home.
766
That's social distancing, people.
767
A lot of people in this country, Americans, you know, like, we're not ready for this.
768
All the rules, we're rebels, man.
769
We don't like following rules.
770
People are like freaking out.
771
They're like, mask mandate?
772
No. I'm like, dude, it's just a mask.
773
Just put on a mask.
774
They're like, it's not just a mask.
775
It's the government.
776
Yeah, it's the government.
777
Fear mongering.
778
I'm like, what is that?
779
They're like, yeah, it's fear mongering.
780
They want you to be scared of everything, so you're obedient and you're scared and you follow the rules.
781
I'm like, oh, that's called fear mongering?
782
Then my mom must have invented fear mongering.
783
I didn't even know that's what it's called.
784
I wanna give you guys a quick update on my dad.
785
Yeah, Richard O.
786
Yang, yeah, the superstar of the family.
787
Yeah.
788
I talked about it in my last special, he became an actor, right?
789
Yeah, yeah, not because he loves the art, because it's so easy, you can do it.
790
I can...
791
But now he's doing great.
792
He's very successful, okay?
793
He got his whole life turned around.
794
He got out of retirement.
795
He's a full-time actor now.
796
And now he wants to be an influencer.
797
He just started his own IG account, which is just a nightmare.
798
Because old people, I feel like they mean well, okay?
799
Like, my dad, he means well, but he just doesn't know how it works.
800
Like, his first post on Instagram is a very nice post.
801
A beautiful picture of the sky, palm trees, birds flying by.
802
I'm like, oh, this is nice.
803
And I scrolled down to the caption, and he wrote, all lives matter.
804
I'm like, that, what the fuck, man?
805
Like, you don't even know what that means.
806
Why would you write that?
807
He was like, I know.
808
My life will matter.
809
Your life will matter.
810
The person's life will matter, OK?
811
All life will matter.
812
I'm like, that is not what it means.
813
I made him put his account on private, okay?
814
Just like a good tiger parent would.
815
Cause we know the rules that young people would see through the scams of Instagram, right?
816
Like for example, I follow SportsCenter.
817
I understand the first hundred comments are all bots.
818
They're all fake, right?
819
Because there's always some IG booty model saying some stupid shit like, uh, I want something long and hard.
820
I mean, this is obviously a scam.
821
So one time I clicked on it.
822
Just to see what's going on, you know what I mean?
823
Research, I just wanna see, I just wanna get to the bottom of it.
824
So I clicked on it, I was like, oh, this is obviously a scam.
825
It's this girl, she's following 7,000 people, but she only has one follower.
826
And I clicked on one follower, it was my dad!
827
He's like, my life will matter, her life matters too, okay?
828
My dad's just from a different generation.
829
He has like a weird beauty standard.
830
Like for us, we just say things on very surface level.
831
Just like, oh, this person's attractive, this person's not, right?
832
My dad would get into the weeds.
833
My dad would give you all the weird details.
834
He would be like, oh, she's beautiful.
835
Very long arms.
836
I'm like, what are you recruiting for a linebacker?
837
What are you talking about?
838
I can never get a pulse on who he thinks is attractive or not, right?
839
One time I'm like, Dad, oh, she's really good looking.
840
And my dad was like, no. Her mouth's too close to her nose.
841
She can't breathe.
842
She can't breathe.
843
I see some of you guys looking at your partner, and it's like, is my nose too close?
844
And that's exactly what an Asian parent does to you, you know?
845
Make yourself conscious about shit you didn't know about.
846
I was very nervous to introduce my girlfriend to my dad.
847
Because she's absolutely beautiful.
848
But who knows if her wingspan is long enough for his life.
849
I was so nervous, man.
850
The first time I brought my girlfriend to my dad's house, and to his credit, I want to give him credit, he actually didn't say anything crazy.
851
Because for some reason, when an old Chinese person sees white people, they just started acting right.
852
Like his posture changed and stood up right.
853
And for some reason, he just came up with a British accent.
854
Like, me and my girlfriend walked in the house, he didn't say anything crazy, he just looked at us, he was like, oh...
855
prosperous young couple.
856
And my girlfriend was so confused, It was like, why does your dad sound like Helen Mirren?
857
And I start saying all these nice things about my girl.
858
I'm like, oh, dad, you know, yeah, she's very successful, but she's also very nice, and her family, they're just great people.
859
And my dad was like, good.
860
All lives matter.
861
I love my dad, man.
862
I love my dad.
863
He's a great dad.
864
He's a funny guy, you know?
865
And we did a lot of father and son bonding growing up.
866
Like, for example, I'm a big basketball fan.
867
I love watching the NBA.
868
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
869
Actually, I grew up a Los Angeles Clippers fan.
870
Yeah.
871
Because my dad was cheap, okay?
872
Because my dad was...
873
Because the Lakers and the Clippers play in the same stadium, but the Clippers tickets were half price.
874
So my dad's like, never pay full price.
875
Never pay.
876
That wasn't even the most embarrassing part.
877
The most embarrassing part was when we exited the stadium.
878
When we exited Staples Center, there'll be hot dog street vendors out there, right?
879
Latino brothers selling bacon wrapped hot dogs for $5.
880
I love those things.
881
And my dad would go up and haggle with them.
882
He would go up and be like, okay, I give you $5 for two hot dogs.
883
I'm like, Dad, it's not buy one, get one free at Costco.
884
Just give them $10.
885
And he was like, shh, never pay full price.
886
Okay, I'll give you $8 for two hot dogs, final offer." And the guy didn't care, he's like, no, it's $10.
887
And then my dad, this is his strategy, he just announces in front of everyone, make sure everyone hears him.
888
He's like, okay, we walk away.
889
I'm like, Dad, I don't care.
890
I don't think he cares if you walk away.
891
Don't walk away, I'm hungry.
892
He's like, Jimmy, it's better to be hungry than to pay full price.
893
And then my mom comes up behind us with four hot dogs.
894
And she was like, guess how much?
895
Thank you, guys.
896
Thank you.

इस पाठ के बारे में

आप "48 Minutes of Jimmy O. Yang | Guess How Much?" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
