Eventually I became a good Asian American and I went to school to get an economics degree.

Because that was the easiest degree that can still appease my Asian parents.

But then after I graduated,

I didn't want to do like econ or finance.

So I went up to my dad,

I was like, dad, I don't want to do any of this.

I want to go try and do stand-up.

And he's like, what's a stand-up?

You mean like a talk show?

I was like, yeah, sure,

talk show, whatever you want to call it, okay?

but I want to go pursue my dreams." And he was like,

No. Pursuing your dreams is how you become homeless.

I was like, No, no,

dad, dad, things are different now.

We're in America, okay?

In America, we're supposed to do what we love.

He was like, No. Everyone does what they hate for money and use the money to do what they love.

That's that old school Chinese mentality, right?

I don't know if you guys know this,

but I came from an acting family.

But it's not really like Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight.

I guess I'll be Angelina Jolie in that equation.

My dad is also an actor,

but he started acting after I did.

Because he was like, it's so easy, you can do it.

I can.

I'm like, that, fine.

If you think my life's so easy,

why don't you go to some open call auditions and you understand how hard it is,

how much rejection I face every day at my job.

He was like, okay.

And he went to all these auditions and he started booking everything.

It's a true story.

He got on this show in China,

in mainland China, called Little Daddy, Xiao Baba.

Half a billion people watched that show.

And he was like, oh, man, okay.

It's like the Big Bang Theory of China, and Richard blew up.

And he was like, this isn't easy.

I don't know.

My plan completely backfired.

And my aunt in Shanghai,

she watched the show, and she would call the house in L.A.,

and she's like, congratulations, Richard.

You're such a good actor.

Did your son teach you how to act?

And he's like, no, no, I'm a natural.

Oh, that's very good.

You and your son, same business.

You know, you two are really funny.

He's like, no, no, Jimmy's are not a funny.

And I'm like, Dad, that's bullshit, okay?

You got one good role,

good for you, I'm happy for you.

But you're not a real actor yet.

Real actors, we gotta cry, we gotta laugh.

Do you even know how to cry in front of camera?

He was like, yes, I just think about how much you suck at ping pong.

My dad's just from a different generation.

He has like a weird beauty standard.

Like for us, we just say things on very surface level.

Just like, oh, this person's attractive, this person's not, right?

My dad would get into the weeds.

My dad would give you all the weird details.

He'd be like, oh, she's beautiful.

Very long arms.

I'm like, what, are you recruiting for a linebacker?

What are you talking about?

I can never get a pulse on who he thinks is attractive or not, right?

One time I'm like, Dad,

oh, she's really good looking.

And my dad was like,

no. Her mouth's too close to her nose.

She can't breathe, she can't breathe.

I see some of you guys looking at your partner and it's like,

is my nose too close?

And that's exactly what an Asian parent does to you, you know?

Make yourself conscious about shit you didn't know about.

I was very nervous to introduce my girlfriend to my dad.

Cause she's absolutely beautiful.

But who knows if her wingspan is long enough for his life.

I was so nervous, man.

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 because for some reason,

when an old Chinese person sees white people,

they just started acting right.

Like his posture changed and stood up right.

And for some reason, he just came up with a British accent.

Like me and my girlfriend walked in the house,

he didn't say anything crazy,

he just looked at us, he was like, oh.

Presperous young couple.

And my girlfriend was so confused,

He's like, why does your dad sound like Helen Mirren?

I grew up very stereotypically, man.

I didn't play basketball or football.

I grew up playing ping pong.

100

Competitively.

101

That was a serious national sport back home, man.

102

You know, I didn't go to any like fun summer camp, space camp.

103

My dad sent me to a ping pong training camp in Guangzhou, China.

104

I almost died.

105

It was 100 kids competing for one spot on the national team.

106

It was basically Fortnite with ping pong paddles.

107

We took that shit seriously though.

108

My dad would take me to every practice,

109

every tournament game, and he always tried to give me a pep talk before every game.

110

But you know Asian parents, they're way too honest.

111

So every pep talk just turned into an insult.

112

Like he would come up to me and be like,

113

Jimmy, Jimmy, You're going to play well, okay?

114

Even though you're slow.

115

Even though you're weak.

116

And you suck.

117

And then he would just walk away.

118

I was very good at math.

119

That's a big Asian stereotype.

120

I think there's some truth to that.

121

Not because of some weird genetic thing.

122

Just because our parents care so much more about mathematics and academics.

123

Right?

124

You guys seen it?

125

You guys seen those, like,

126

Kumon Learning Centers and those strip malls, right?

127

Right?

128

Kumon Learning Centers, for you guys that don't know,

129

are basically detention camps for young Asian children.

130

You can tell that place is kind of fucked up by the look of its logo.

131

Because it's supposed to be a smiley face,

132

but it's not really smiling.

133

It's just like, man.

134

My parents were way too cheap to send me to Kumon.

135

They got a different strategy.

136

They never let me use a calculator until I turned 15

137

so I can work on my brain function That's an old-school Chinese strategy,

138

you know, so when I turned 15,

139

it was a very special occasion It was basically my quinceanera My dad just gave me a TI 83 plus

140

And he looked me in the eyes and he was like you're a woman now, okay?

141

But when you're a kid,

142

when your parents tell you you can't do something, what do you do?

143

You rebel, right?

144

So when I was 14 years old,

145

I stole my brother's calculator,

146

I stole Roy Rogers' calculator,

147

and I locked myself in my room and I started rebelling.

148

I started doing math homework.

149

Other kids were like fucking around with like alcohol and drugs.

150

I was fucking up some problems, you know?

151

Locked myself in a room,

152

I was just punching in numbers,

153

I was like, oh man,

154

this feels great, you know?

155

It's so wrong, it's awesome.

156

My dad was pissed.

157

He was knocking on the other side of the door.

158

He doesn't like locked doors in the house.

159

And he was screaming.

160

He was like, Jimmy, Jimmy,

161

what are you doing inside?

162

Come out right now.

163

I know Yingdae using a calculator.

164

Come out right now.

165

I was so scared, I didn't know what to do.

166

And he unlocked the door and he came in.

167

I went into full panic mode,

168

so I just threw away the calculator and I pulled out my pants.

169

I was like, Dad, I was just jerking off.

170

And he came in, and he looked at me,

171

and then he looked at the math homework.

172

And he was like, good,

173

good, very good, very good, very good.

174

You must not really like math.

175

That's good.

176

That's good.

177

Keep it up.

178

Because there's nothing,

179

there's nothing that'll make your Asian father more proud than to see his son jerk off to his bath, Homer.

180

See, I'm like first generation,

181

but my parents, they're like negative nine generation,

182

because they're so frickin' Chinese.

183

Like, it's really hard for me to watch TV with my dad because he's trying to make me explain everything to him.

184

And first of all, all Asian people,

185

they don't watch TV, they judge the TV.

186

This is like, I'm just sitting next to my dad on the couch,

187

and he's wearing his, like,

188

old Asian man costume, which is just a wife beater and tighty-whities.

189

He's just sitting there, arms folded, judging the TV light.

190

He just makes random noises around the house.

191

Now whenever he sneezes, it's never just a sneeze.

192

It's like a whole tsunami of sound waves that comes after.

193

It's just like, achoo!

194

Oh!

195

Ay, shit!

196

Oh!

197

I'm like, what the fuck,

198

Dad just have an orgasm?

199

What was that?

200

And he doesn't understand what I'm saying half the time.

201

He's like, oh, there's an orgasm okay.

202

Orgasm.

203

Orgasm.

204

And he tried to make me explain everything to him on TV.

205

Do you understand how difficult it is to explain a rap music video to an old Chinese man?

206

We're just sitting there and my dad was like,

207

oh, Jimmy, Jimmy, what's it mean when he say, Lamborghini Murcio, what's that?

208

And I'm like, Ted, he's bragging about his car.

209

It's a Lamborghini Murcielago, very expensive car.

210

You know what that is, right?

211

And he's like, oh, okay, okay, yes, yes.

212

That's when you know they have no idea what the fuck he just said.

213

Like, okay, okay, yes, yes, a Lamborghini, okay.

214

Jimmy, what does he mean when he say,

215

your chick, she's so thirsty, or what the?

216

And I was like, shit.

217

Um...

218

Dad, he's making fun of somebody's girlfriend, okay?

219

Saying, like, she likes attention from other guys,

220

and she likes to do sex stuff with them.

221

You know, like blowjobs and such.

222

And he was like, oh, okay, okay.

223

Yes, yes, yes.

224

Blowjobs, okay.

225

Jimmy, Jimmy, I'm thirsty, too, okay?

226

So I was like, oh,

227

God, no. No. Got lost in translation.

228

It's disgusting.

229

I love my dad, man.

230

I love my dad.

231

He's a great dad.

232

He's a funny guy, you know?

233

And we did a lot of father and son bonding growing up.

234

Like, for example, I'm a big basketball fan.

235

I love watching the NBA, you know?

236

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

237

Actually, I grew up a Los Angeles Clippers fan.

238

Yeah.

239

Because my dad was cheap, okay? because my dad was...

240

Because the Lakers and the Clippers playing the same stadium,

241

but the Clippers tickets were half price.

242

So my dad's like, never pay full price.

243

That wasn't even the most embarrassing part.

244

The most embarrassing part was when we exited the stadium.

245

When we exited Staples Center,

246

there'll be hot dog street vendors out there, right?

247

Latino brothers selling bacon-wrapped hot dogs for $5.

248

I love those things.

249

And my dad would go up and haggle with them.

250

He would go and be like,

251

okay, I give you $5 for two hot dogs.

252

I'm like, dad, it's not buy one,

253

get one free at Costco.

254

Just give him 10 bucks.

255

And he was like, shh, never pay full price.

256

Okay, I'll give you $8 for two hot dogs, final offer.

257

And the guy didn't care.

258

He's like, no, it's $10.

259

And then my dad, this is his strategy.

260

He just announces in front of everyone.

261

Make sure everyone hears him.

262

He's like, okay.

263

We walk away.

264

We walk away.

265

I'm like, Dad, I don't care.

266

I don't think he cares if you walk away.

267

Don't walk away, I'm hungry.

268

He's like, Jimmy, it's better to be hungry than to pay full price.

269

And then my mom comes up behind us with four hot dogs.

270

And she was like, guess how much?

271

Thank you, guys.

272

Everybody playing with your ground
