Nigel Ng

I've got some tour dates to tell you about. I'll be in Cedar Rapids, St. Paul, Minnesota, Fargo, North Dakota, Rapid City, South Dakota, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Rochester, New York, and Detroit, Michigan, all in June and July. Tickets available now at theovon.com slash T-O-U-R. Thank you so much for your support. Today's guest is a content creator, a restaurateur, and a comedian.

Like secret hoes. Secret hoes.

Let's see it.

Where romance meets finance. Oh, definitely. I mean, what about $40 a week?

Dude, what if our podcast, we sponsored a couple of Sugar... We booked some sugar. Let's book some sugar.

Oh, definitely.

But what if we book some sugar, right? Yeah. And we just support it, and every now and then they just check in, but they don't have to do anything sexual. We have them maybe get a good hobby. Yeah. Maybe help around the neighborhood, clean up, pick up trash or something.

Oh, that's a good point. Some of them are, I guess if you have a tall baby, yeah.

Oh, I'm a huge Sugar Book fan all of a sudden. Yeah. I think it's good. But I would love to look into, Nick, maybe the price of if we could sponsor a couple of good women sugar girls. I think a grand a month. Ooh, that's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. I mean, you said it goes far over there, dude. I'm talking 80, maybe 120 a month.

But would it be great to sponsor that lady? Let her just say, hey, take the week off.

Go relax. Go for a run or something.

Yeah, that would be good.

That would be great. And we could support the infrastructure over there.

Is family big over there? Is that like a big thing? What's it like there that you notice that's different between Malaysia and U.S. or U.K. culture?

Yeah. Yeah. And do Asian people want to say more? Like, do they have a feeling inside of them where like, I want to speak up, but I don't think it's appropriate? Or is it I'm afraid? Or it's just not part of their... Natural capability.

Oh, yeah, dude.

Yeah. Oh, you have your head down for a half hour, somebody will start...

you around here you know yeah it's a dangerous area that would have your head down oh yeah some freaking narcan monk you'll start freaking jacking you from the back over there you know yeah so it's definitely you got to have your head up man yeah is there something do you think that um americans could do to better support asian people like to like like ask more like is there something like you know what i'm saying like because sometimes there's never this communication about how cultures should interact and we're all just left to figure it out you

You ask me like I'm the leader of all the Asians. But you came. The door's been open for many moons.

I'm whiter than you. That's a good point. Look at this shit. Yeah. Look at this honky. Look at this fricking sesame cracker. Thank you. That was ridiculous. Thanks for inviting me on here, Theo. Dude, it's a pleasure, man. Thank you so much. But no, what a, Nigel, Nigel? Nigel, Nigel Ung. Nigel. Yes. And how do you say the last name? Ung, Ung, Ung.

Okay.

Just enjoy. Just enjoy. Enjoy our food. Enjoy the food. Yeah. It's great food. Yeah, it's a lot of good stuff, man.

Really?

So unorganized over there. Oh. It seems like. I hate to say that, but... Everybody's been saying it, but- They've been good to me.

Yeah, it's a good point. I think one thing that makes it tough in there is the lighting, the way the lighting, like the whole room is kind of lit up.

And so I think it creates an ambiance there sometimes where the audience is more involved in the show. That's true. You can see everyone. Right. And then they feel like they're supposed to be involved because they're kind of not protected from this, like, you know, because usually the audience is kind of in the dark. Yeah, yeah, I see that.

And so Asian families, Malaysian families, a lot of times you'll live at home.

Accessory dwelling unit. Secondary residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a primary residence.

And so essentially a smaller separate living space.

Why? What are some of the, is it because it's a lot of, I'm guessing fish maybe or cabbage? Shrimp paste. Ooh, God.

Fish sauces.

Yeah. Umami is one of the five basic taste sensations along with a sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Yeah. And is often described as a savory or meaty flavor.

It is perceived through taste receptors that respond to compounds like glutamate, inosinate, and guanylate, which are abundant in foods such as meat, cheese, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

I do comedy about food now. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, I know. I want to get into some of that. I want to ask you, I'm just trying to get a little bit more idea. Of Malaysia. Just of what it feels like to be in Malaysia because you don't hear a ton about it. Yeah. And the biggest thing you heard about probably is the plane that you guys lost.

Is it really? Still can't find it. It's crazy. What's the word over there? Bring that up, Malaysian 370.

Yeah, that's a living, you got a, you're the damn living N word right there. I can't even. I know. It's dangerous, isn't it? It's dangerous. Yeah. Yeah.

I hate to say this, but it sounds a little bit romantic. Yeah, let's play one clip right here. What do we have? Yeah.

For sure. And it looks like he probably shorted the Malaysia Airlines. He definitely is, dude.

Yeah, what do you expect? And it's like people like something, it's like hide and go seek. They never found the guy and people are just wondering where he is.

But also in a way, it's almost beautiful. Like a place so like, it almost makes it mystical in a way. Malaysia? Yeah.

That's an N-I-G. There's no A in there, thankfully. Yeah, but there's enough there. I think people would be like, what's going on here?

Oh, that's a surprise. Yeah, yeah. Over in the U.S., you don't see none of that. No, you see nothing like that. Yeah. Yeah, you see a lot of people call Muslims slims or whatever. It's like a nickname. Slims? Yeah. It's like a new, I don't want to say racial slur, but it is what it is.

Yeah, look at these slims, right? Yeah, look at these slims. But I like it. I like, you know, Muslims are definitely really interesting.

Oh, it's fat country, huh?

Oh, fat.

And people die early or what? How long are people living over there in Malaysia? Put up a, bring up a corp, not a corpse, bring up a website, bring up a link.

Fat dying. That'd be a name of somebody I feel like. Fat dying.

76 years in Malaysia.

And some people were probably trying to hurry up and get their luggage. Because I hate it when people get up on a plane early before it stops or whatever. You think they're out ruffling through the overhead storage? Oh, some hurried ass, some business asshole is like, I got to get off first. It's like, bitch, we're fucking. Yeah, we're dead. Yeah, it's just crazy.

But you can, I hate it when people get up early before the plane is like at the gate, you know?

No face? No, I think that would be too ego. I think I wouldn't want my face, because I don't want people to know, like, I don't want people coming and looking for me. Or, you know, you already have at night, they'll have some... If you do a show in a town, sometimes we'll be in a tour bus. And see if you bring up. You can put your face on a different bus.

It's just like a Greyhound bus going through Mississippi. It's like, follow us to the next show. And you get there and it's just a bunch of people who just got out of prison. Getting off in Hammond, Louisiana.

Wow, brother. That's what I'm saying, man. Cafe, but I also like it's cafe. All of the ribs. So this is a popular sound in, and you said you're from Malaysia?

Jokoi has his face on it.

Yeah, yeah. We definitely have had him on. Jokoi's a special guy. Special guy, Jokoi.

Jokoi. Joseph. Joseph. Joseph, good guy. Yeah. There we are right there with the tour bus. Yeah, we do like- Oh, nice. Yeah, a lot of times it's just the tour bus, but nothing- Very under the radar. Nothing really crazy on the inside or outside. We run a pretty lean ship for the most part.

Oh, really? So I saved a bit of money that way. So Uncle Roger is your assumed character, kind of. It's like a- It's another character, but it's just you.

That's it. That's Uncle Roger.

Adam Ray's Dr. Phil is higher effort than whatever this is. Oh, yeah, dude. It just seemed like the best guy at Home Depot, you know? Like a student. You look like a student at Home Depot.

It's very great, man. Yeah, people love Uncle Roger, and people love learning about different food through him. I think that's one thing. In Malaysia, I noticed when I was there, there's a big monkey issue, right? There's a big monkey issue.

Yeah. That sounds like a monkey issue. So what I'm saying is... Do y'all eat, have you ever had monkeys?

No, they're nice. They're nice.

They're smarter. Yeah, I agree. Every now and then you see one who fucking, you know, knows how to open bag of Dorito or something. Yeah, they can paint. But overall, they're fine.

Put monkeys attacking woman for chips. Yeah.

Okay. Let's see both. We'll do a video for each.

I'm just saying this lady probably had a little bit of chips on her. I watched some monkeys attack a sister for a sack of vinegar salt chips one time on a stairwell.

So go to his version now. What do you want to pull up?

Okay, let's see that. Oh, that's a beautiful monkey. Ooh, look at him.

Look at this monkey, dude. Wow, bro. Look at this. Who is that?

He's not running for office. He's swinging for office from his tail. Yeah.

NG. NG, NG, NG, yeah. I went to Malaysia one time when I was a student.

No, that's a prime minister. Of course not.

That's hilarious. Look at this. Here we have. Come on. Oh, beautiful monkey.

Very romantic. What made you decide to go into a food direction on your YouTube, man? And some of my audience won't be familiar with Nigel or Uncle Roger, and that's okay, right? That's okay, yeah. The way you kind of effortlessly kind of just like, I think you seem, this is what it is to me, and this is very judgmental.

I'm used to seeing some Asian people be more probably quiet or not have maybe the similar sense of humor. And I think your humor seems very similar and relatable to just somebody like me. Oh, thank you. So, yeah. And I don't mean it like it's a judgment because it's like, well, what does that matter? Right. But I think that's why it seems so like your humor.

Yeah, we went to, what's the capital? Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur, yeah. For what? I just was a student on this thing called Semester at Sea. It's like a floating school. Uh-huh. And one of the stops was over there in Malaysia. So you took a boat, like a boat over there. Like a cruise ship. It's like a, pull it up. That's a long trip, man. Oh, it was a long trip. We left out of Vancouver, Canada.

Sometimes I feel like maybe some Asian humor, I wouldn't get it. Or even if it's an Asian person with American humor, I wouldn't get it as much. But, yeah, yours just seems so, like, effortless and comes across, man.

Okay. Keep it PG. Okay, fine. Whatever, man. I don't know. Whatever. I'm just asking what the question is. Do they have pedophiles in Malaysia, though? They have or no? Yeah, of course. Okay.

It's like, wow, this guy's great at business. What's his secret? And his secret is...

petting kids or whatever you're like well that's you know i'll just do a vitamin d supplement or whatever you have a whole island you know you have you have epstein yeah we had epstein it's great we don't have someone like that asia consent malaysia 16 china 14 okay japan 13 13 hold on lower bob that's insane dude India, we're getting back to 18. And South Korea is doing 16. Thailand, 15.

Legal, 18. Effective.

Bahrain, 21.

Those are old.

Blame it on Bahrain, brother.

So you got into food, yes. Your channel seems like it kind of really started to focus more on food.

Everybody likes it.

Harsha? Her pronouns are heavy in her first name.

Yeah, yeah.

I would buy her a damn omelet somewhere.

And so what is she? You know her?

About this video? Yeah. For making bad rice?

That's how most people are getting in, dude.

Yeah. Well, it's also, it's, you know, it's funny. I think how, if you try, like, was it scary to try your first, that first kind of food video? Cause it's interesting for an entertainer. If you're in a certain world or space, right. It's interesting to then try something different. You're like, well, my friend does this and it's really neat. He does it super well.

But if I do it, is mine going to be okay? Are people going to perceive it as okay? Right. I think that's a big fear. Yeah. You know, I have friends that do great sketches. Like Shane Gillis does some really great sketches. Yeah, I've seen. They're great. Yeah, Gillian Keeves. Oh, I love that ISIS Toyota sketch. Some of it is just so, so funny.

And there's times where it's like, I'll think of a great sketch. I'll write it on my phone. And I'm like, well, if I did that, would it be okay? Would I be too? But it's like, I think you think like that, right? It's normal.

Right, that's the truth, right? But then, I don't know, if somebody saw somebody doing something like a bunch, you're like, oh, this isn't the avenue for them. But then if you have a good instinct for yourself, you would kind of notice that as well. Here's what I'm asking you. Was it hard to do that? Was it hard to just take that leap and be like, I'm going to try this different thing?

Yeah, dude. Oh, have you heard that song? YouTubers can be gay too. Yeah. Have you heard it? No. I'll watch it. You got to hear this song. It's great. It's just like a, it's a summer bop that's really taken over. And then we'll get back to this.

This is that banger, bro. We got to remix this shit for the summer, dude.

Yeah, I think it felt like that. I think it felt like the beaches and then kind of what do we do here a little bit.

You can say this in your car. Yeah, you just say this to your friend.

I support this guy. Yeah. Hey, this guy has a vote for me, bro. It needs to be said. Yeah.

Yeah. You got to let the air out the tire a little bit. That's what I'm saying, boy. Sometimes the best seasoning is a little bit of zest.

Who likes that zesty barbecue? They snuck it in on us. They snuck it in on us with that zesty barbecue. But let's go back to what you were saying. Sorry. Anytime I get a chance, I love this artist, Eves. And so I just want to be able to support him and put out his song that I think is a banger and has not gotten the... the vibes it should have gotten so far.

And it just needs to be resurrected because it's been about eight years since that song came out. What is... I wonder, in Asian culture even, because Asian culture to me, right? And I know I relate things to culture a lot, but... I think it's played a big role in my life, I think, somehow. But Asian people seem more reserved overall, right? We kind of talked about that.

So is that even scarier to put yourself out there as an Asian, you think, than it would be in other cultures where it's more boisterous, you know?

He is from Malaysia, and he found his way to the U.K. and America by doing comedy. He's known for his character Uncle Raja, Uncle Raja, a grumpy food critic who roasts celebrity chefs. And with that, he's gained more than 30 million followers. Quite the ride with today's guest. I couldn't be more geeked to get to hang out with Nigel Unger. What's the most of vain Asians you think?

But are, so don't forget this, are Malaysians the most vain? Who's the most vain?

Muslims can be gay too. Dude, that song needs a remake in every culture. Yeah, so I just wondered if it was even scarier and what, like, I guess what got you that, what made you kind of brave enough to take that leap? Because in my life, I've noticed that the toughest thing is just that first step every time.

Is it?

You're talking about being a Kappa Sig, dude, I think.

Oh, yeah. They like to vomit on each other until somebody's secretly gay. You know what I'm saying, dude? That's the type shit I'm into. Type shit, boy. Shout out Pikes.

I didn't know vomit could be a lubricant, but hey. Here's another bush light, Ricky.

Not too much. Yeah, you don't want to turn into Chet Hanks or whatever.

Let's go.

Bobby Lee? Yeah. There's undeniable that God does not have a birth certificate that's legitimate. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He probably, he's obviously a POW, you know? He has very POW energy.

You did?

Oh, wow. They're doing that at Northwestern? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. That's what the N stands for. Northwestern, dude. That's what I'm talking about. That's what we need more of. Dude, I've said this for years and not for years, but I've said this for almost four months. If you auctioned off the N-word, say somebody's going to say it, right?

Like tonight, Uncle Roger's going to drop the N-bomb at 11 p.m., right? But you auction it off. You say, I'm going to donate money to watch the stream. I'm going to pay. They say it, and the money goes towards a black organization.

No, I think they have to say it within three or four minutes. So they could do like a little bit of a dance ensemble and then say it at the end. Like da-da-da-da-da-da. Hard R or no hard R? I think it's up to them, and I think it's at what price level you pay. Like, say Angelina Jolie is going to drop that thing, right?

Yeah, imagine words. That's what I'm saying, dude. That's what they need to do. So I'm just saying, because people are always talking about reparations, this, reparations, that. But you're out here policing people for the N-word. That's a great idea. And make some money for your community by auctioning it off. People are already saying it. Yeah, for free. That's not a problem.

This is like a United Nations meeting, dude. Let's start a Twitch stream, okay? And tonight... Who would be the best that you would love to hear say the N-word? And let's be honest, and this isn't a racial thing. This is just about vernacular and raising money for a community. I want to see Trevor Wallace say the N-word. Yeah, because he does not say it.

Yeah, he has a lot of burn marks on his back too. Oh, really? Yeah, from cigarettes, I think from gambling issues, but people say different things, you know?

Dude, that would be so great. Yeah, I'd love to see that. Yeah, I would love to see Trevor Wallace. And then who's someone that's older that I would love to see say it? Someone who's probably like in a coma or something, but if you could get him to whisper it or something for like a... An expensive stream. I'm talking like about a $13, $14 stream. Who's somebody?

Look up older people in comas, celebrities, or people on there struggling, something like that.

Put almost RIP you can put on there. Ooh, Clint Eastwood.

Yeah, he did it for free. There's like three movies about him almost saying it, I think. Oh, Buzz Aldrin, definitely, dude. Yeah. Bro. Is he the guy who went to the moon? Yeah, you know if you're out in space, you got to yell it out there once.

You don't think a white guy named Buzz was driving N-bombs?

After a few whiskeys and fake trips to the moon, you don't think he's driving a fucking N-bomb? First of all, if you send me to a fake moon and drug me up and send me to a fake moon, I get one N-bomb, man. He could open up for Angelina Jolie. But it's just good to think about how you can raise money. And that's where I'm at. It's like, you know, are we raising money or not?

Yeah, I'm trying to think of chop dogs would be good. Chop dogs. But that's kind of fun.

Look at my chop dogs right here. Yeah, look at best Asian racial slurs if you can. Sorry.

Yeah, at Elon. Excuse me, Grok. Do you know if these slurs are definitely Asian? Let's just look up a couple. I don't want to get crazy.

I have not.

Oh, my God. We got to get out of here, dude. Dude, you know what you need to do is do a show with my friends over there in Australia when you go.

Sean and Marley.

Yeah.

These guys are the best. One of them doesn't have Down syndrome. One of them does. I'm not even sure. But you go to their home. The greatest experience I had in Australia was spending time with these guys at their home. Really? You went to their homes? Yes. And you pull up, dude. It was just unbelievable. But that would be an amazing crossover.

And they would love to have you there, man.

Factory or whatever?

And that's a joke. That's because a lot of this is in factory work. I didn't think it was funny.

Just happy. Dude, you tickle them, they can't even feel it because they're already feeling that good. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.

Yeah. They're already feeling at a level of being tickled.

I'm not with that. You're going to jail, dude. You're definitely going to jail. Did rocket money cancel a subscription for you that would have been time consuming or confusing to cancel? It did for me. I was latched on a, I was paying for something, bacon box or bacon bundle or something where they just dang hit you with a month full of bacon that first week of the month.

Oh, it's nice of you to say that. You're being very nice. That show was hard. I'll tell you what happened. So they weren't supposed to be recording the show. That was part of the agreement was there would be no recording. And I get out there, and then there's 20 news cameras.

And so I'm like, well, what do I do now? Like I, you know, I can't just do all my material because then it'll just be out there. Right. It's like, and I'm trying to maybe do a special at some point. And, um, and then, so that was a, yeah, those are thobes, right? Okay. So.

Qatar, yeah. And it was so cool, man. But yeah, so I get out there and then there's an audience in front of me, behind me, and to this side of me. And half of each one of them can't speak English.

People, I think a lot of that- They made fun of the Navy.

Oh, yeah. That part was- The best part was calling them Ku Klux Sandsmen. That was my favorite. That was the only thing. And at that point, I was like, at least, if anything, they flew somebody over here to say that. Yeah.

It feels like a corporate crowd, but tougher. Well, I just didn't expect the camera. So suddenly everything has to change. You're like, what do I do now? And so it was just like this interesting mix. But then I also like, before I went out there, I was like asking God, I was like, just don't make it about me. Let me just try and do my best.

And then I realized it's just, you're over there to have fun. So we stayed after and took a ton of photos and it was cool, man, just to be on the base and see like, I've done some military tours in the past, but just to be there and just see what people – just what people are living like over there and what the environment is like over there. Yeah.

And then we got to drive across town, and all the buildings have – bring up like a basic – or what's it called? Common structure – structuring in Qatar. All of their stuff have like the castle, like you know that like castles are kind of like that on the top of them.

Like, you know the Rook when you're playing... The Rook is a castle. Yeah, the Rook is the castle. So it has the castle top. You know how the top of the castle is like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of their buildings there are like that.

So you'll be driving by a place and you're like, oh my God, is that a palace? And they're like, that's a KFC, dude. Yeah. Every building there has the castling tops and it's all very uniform and there's nothing out of place. There's not a tree out of place. There's not a curve of a sidewalk out of place. Nothing's on. It's like, wow, it's unbelievable.

Um, they have a lot of money because everybody there gets free. subsidized from the government if you're a Qatari citizen.

Right. It only travels through the male. So you can't just, and you can't just have a baby on the land and it's a citizen.

Let's see. That's a great question because you always hear that you can't be gay there or whatever. And it's funny, they had the secret service there and I kept going up to him and I'm like, what's your secret? If you're gay, just say if you're gay. What's your secret? You wore your mom's underpants. Like, what is it? And every now and then one would slightly show me a gun.

And then that's when I would listen to N words can be gay too.

Pathways to Qatari citizenship. Citizenship is automatically granted anyone born to a Qatari father regardless of birthplace. Oh, interesting. Children of Qatari mothers and non-Qatari fathers may apply for citizenship, but only under strict conditions are not guaranteed citizenship. Foreigners can apply for citizenship after at least 25 consecutive years of lawful residence. Wow.

Oh, my God. With no more than two months spent outside the country beer. Whereas in America, you could hang your lower half over a fence and drop something over here and it's American.

$5 million or something? They're giving that away. I think it's where America's got citizenship. I think Howie Mandel is one of the hosts of it. But dual citizenship is not permitted. Applicants must renounce their previous citizenship upon naturalization. I think that's important.

Same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships are not recognized or legal in Qatar. Hmm. Qatari law influenced by traditional Islamic principles criminalizes same-sex sexual activity and does not recognize any legal status for same-sex couples. Cohabitation outside of heterosexual marriage is also illegal. Wow.

I'll meet you there, brother. See you there, man. Play our song.

They look 16. Advanced. Yeah, that kind of thing. Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. Lightweight essence which absorbs into the skin fast to give skin a natural glow from the inside. This essence is created from nutritious, low-stimulation, filtered snail mucin. to keep your skin moisturized and illuminated all day. Wow. Yeah, it's good marketing writing, right?

What's the improper way to cook rice just for whites and listeners of this?

Is it really?

You know, you have one of those? No, I lived with an Asian girl when I first moved to Los Angeles.

Oh, we couldn't even afford heat. Sometimes we'd have her turn that on in our room for a little while.

Oh, yeah. I can have a rice cooker in each room.

Oh, I would love that. A little cinnamon Asian.

So doing anything crazy with rice where you're boiling all that, it's kind of ridiculous. You can just do a rice cooker easy.

Yeah, it's like Andrew Huberman making rice.

Make it simple.

I only eat two things, honestly, at home. Smoothie.

I eat one smoothie that has blueberries, spinaches, walnut.

Protein powder.

Lactose-free milk, a little bit of cinnamon, half a teaspoon of Stamets mushroom powder, some Amra colostrum. What else? Oh, half a teaspoon of algae, sea algae powder.

I'm fucking troubled. I'm fucking spray tanning my back because I'm losing pigment. God damn, yeah.

I love that damn baby milk, titty milk. Colostrum.

They started dealing. I think we actually do. Honestly, I think we even do some ads for them. So I mix that together in a blender. That's my smoothie. That's what I have every time. And then other than that, sometimes at night, about 45 minutes before bed, I'll make myself a ground beef quesadilla.

I don't want that.

But why is it that every time Asians, they want to take you somewhere to fucking feed you? That's the thing, bro.

Fuyo, that's your restaurant?

Thank you. It's so awesome.

Oh, okay.

Nice.

Fuyo. Fuyo. Yeah, I love that, dude. It's so cool. And when you went there for the first time, did you have to go and help design the actual restaurant? How hands-on are you in something like that, right?

Yeah, it's fun. Also, I think getting younger people to like, especially like younger American people to like, just to try something a little bit different, right?

Like I think my nephews would love this kind of thing, man.

Oh, yeah. They could have anything in there.

I do very, I do a little bit of cheese on there, shredded cheese, quesadilla.

That's the only thing. For real, you're not joking. That's the only thing that's at my house to eat and the only thing that's at my apartment to eat. Oh, wow. So I have that. Put a cheese. Put a layer of ground beef. One more layer of cheese. Take some salt. Sea salt. Put it on there. Top on it. One napkin over it in the microwave. Probably a minute, 15 seconds.

When it comes out, I push down on the napkin to strengthen that cheese and that meat combo. Put it all together. Make it a team.

Then I'll cut it. The second I take that napkin off, I'll cut it. One across one of the bottom, make four pieces. Do not let it get too cold, brother. It gets bad.

I think that's, yeah. That's very Asian right there. No, it's a white woman doing it. Yeah, but we learned it from you guys. I mean, that is cheekbone sashimi. That's true. That's true. We bring a lot to the world. Oh, that's so wild. So that's a real thing that people are buying this. And how much does it go for? Give me how much for a quart of it? Oh, CVS has it. Go get some later. Really?

Oh, I would love that, man. I would love to be associated with your restaurant.

Yeah, you're a little bit heightened up. And then otherwise you're eating at like 11 o'clock at night. That's never super fun.

Even if you try to set up something in advance, you know, it won't stay open sometimes. But you can order food. But, yeah, touring is a hectic lifestyle. How do you stay fit when you're always eating? Do you also have to take care of yourself or do you want to turn into fat?

And do you eat breakfast? Do Malaysians eat breakfast?

I'm open to it. I think you just, I would have to get- Let's try it.

What's a sambal paste?

And those are sardines? Huh? Those are sardines?

I could see that.

But in Qatar, they had a lot of beautiful sauces and stuff too.

Add that to your cholesterol smoothie or something. You're right, dude. I'm a fucking idiot. What am I doing? There's all this great food and I'm eating the same shit all the time. What a fucking loser.

No, I'm a little snack f***, dude. I'm f***ing losing my mind, bro. I got to get it together, man. And we'll bleep that word out. Sorry, that was a little bit out of sorts.

Is it?

To show respect, yeah.

Oh, it's beautiful.

We have a lot of respect for Asian culture here. Thank you.

It is? Yeah. I don't know what that means.

Oh, our friendship begins. That's what it means in Japanese.

Beautiful. Yeah, I've been to Japan. I haven't toured there, though.

You think so? An expat crowd. Yeah.

What? Yeah, dude, the thing of, let's, what are some of the, like, some Asians get no credit, the Laotians, right? Yeah.

Yeah, Laotians.

$24.99. $24.99 for, oh, for 7 1⁄2 ounces, huh? Yeah, you don't need it. You have good skin, man. I'm okay, but, you know, everybody wants to do a little bit more. But how do you even farm it out of them? Do you follow right behind them with a little scooper?

It's hard to eat with the bombing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's right next to Vietnam. Yeah, yeah. And is it makes you sad because of just the aftermath of the war there and stuff?

jazz hands oh it's Bruno Mars catch a grenade for you that song oh yeah that's what I'm thinking of Bruno Mars I'll catch a grenade for you but no that is heartbreaking can you bring that up is that true how much landmines are still in Cambodia that's heartbreaking yeah it's your and did we put them there I think so I think what's the guy who the president who passed away last year I think Joe Biden no

Oh, Jimmy Carter, yeah.

I'm sure. Let me see. Millions of landmines. Cambodia is one of the most heavily landmine-contaminated countries in the world with estimates ranging from... four to six million landmines and unexploded ordnance scattered across the country. As of the end of 2022, Cambodia had identified 681 square kilometers of land contaminated with anti-personnel landmines. God. Yeah.

New areas of contamination are continually being discovered, making the precise number of landmines difficult to determine. Click on that third article over there, Human Progress. On February 2025, Prime Minister Samdet Dipdehunmenet, How do you say it?

Oh, damn. Yeah. Highlighted the remarkable achievements in Cambodia's ongoing mine clearance campaign over the past 32 years. Since its inception in 1992, the initiative has successfully cleared nearly 3,300 square kilometers of landmines.

Yeah.

Dude, this is horrible.

All you need is like a SimpliSafe camera set up on a tree over there to get your squid game season three. What is this? What Asian have the most, like a lot of Asians squint when they look, right?

Which Asian have the most?

Oh yeah, I look a little Asian, man.

Yeah. Um, uh, and what, but who, what Asian have the most squint? Is there one that like what Asian has the one where you just want to put a couple of quarters in their face? You know what I'm talking about?

I don't know. I love that.

Yeah, show the search, man. What ages have the squintiest eyes? I mean, that's going to get us in trouble, dude.

I don't know. Ask him. We're afraid to say your name out loud. In case this place is bugged by fucking Memphis PD, dude. Yeah. That's another grok question. Yeah, bring it up on grok as well. See if they can help us. Some people say Japanese people because the blast was so bright that they had like a- They need permanent sunglasses. Well, it was a lot for the community.

It's all heartbreaking, man. Oh, it's a stereotype tied to East Asian populations. It's not a stereotype if it's- Kind of true, right? I don't know. Bring up some wide-eyed Asians in. Let's see. This could all be bullshit, man.

Ooh, this is beautiful. Yeah, I think this is a stereotype, man. We might want to get rid of that stereotype. I don't know if that's true.

What are common plastic surgeries that some Asians get in order to adjust themselves?

Make our eyes bigger? Yeah. Oh, look at the one lady. She's got one eye big and one eye regular. Look at that. Second row, left, left.

Nuh-uh.

This was probably taught by a lot of the forces in Vietnam. Some of this is illegal. Go back to it. This is considered waterboarding, I think. Snail mucin, a popular skincare ingredient, is collected from live snails through various methods, some more humane than others.

That's makeup? Let's see.

Yeah. Ooh. It's like one of those Rorschach tricks.

But the beauty of it is how artistic that Asians are.

Yeah. Asians, they call them.

Nuh-uh.

Oh, look at this, huh? Oh, it's Rob Schneider.

This is a joke, Rob. Wow, this is really.

Yeah.

I love Rob, though. Getting close, dude.

That's almost El King, at least. Yeah, he's the after, bro. Rob just performed down in Louisiana. It was pretty cool. What else can we talk about? How many episodes do you put out a week? Three, four, two? No, no, no, no. One or two. One or two. We put out six a month. Ah, okay. So that's kind of where we're at in the space right now. It's interesting because over time you start thinking like,

Well, you start learning more stuff. So then there's more stuff you want to talk about, right? And then you start thinking, well, I want to, you know, if people are listening, I want to introduce them to things that I like that I think are neat, you know, or people that it's like, oh, maybe they wouldn't know about, you know?

Like if half of our audience doesn't know about you and they listen and they love you, like I've had a great time chatting, man. It's been very fun.

Yeah, and I was like kind of worried. I was like, I don't know what it's going to be like, but. He's a normal guy, man. You're hilarious, dude.

So funny, dude. And so I'm like, yeah, I think it's just things like that. And then I would like to be able to learn more stuff, like have people in to learn more. You know, we're trying to have a health care like a doctor from Gaza who's been in like over there. Come on.

We're trying to have somebody come on about dopamine and like the effects of like dopamine addiction and kind of where we are is like especially as men, you know, being addicted. And then always jerking off. We always talk about that kind of stuff. And if we can get better.

Yeah.

ASEAN, they call it in some places. ASEANA Grande. ASEANA Grande. Yeah, look at this guy. Definitely.

Traditional methods involve forcing snails to release mucin through harsh treatment, like dunking them in salt water or chemicals.

Oh, Roger, Roger, Roger.

Yeah, this is crazy, man. And do Asian people think like they want to live forever? Is that more of an American thing?

It's too far. You have a hip replacement. Oh, dude, definitely. Because a lot of the air travel will really wear on some of that metal.

Yeah, they need, yeah, I'm trying to think about Asians.

Oh, you ate at 6.30 AM. You ate in the morning.

Yeah, like come eat these cat nuts or whatever, huh?

Many companies now use methods like gentle stimulation or allowing snails to naturally excrete mucin on mesh nets, ensuring their wellbeing. Wow. What's gentle stimulation for a snail, you know? I think just a little... A little fingering action on... Just petting? Petting. Heavy petting? Maybe listening to some... What's a popular Malaysian love musician? We don't really have that.

Yeah. Oh, there you go.

And that's just a secret curry spice.

it's just a secret seasoning you're selling that'd be great that's a chili sauce that's my new chili sauce well I think Asian food is just expanding in the US I'm sure that it's just growing look that up is Asian cuisine growing in America it must be definitely and there are so many of us globally you know Of Asian.

Oh, yeah. Oh, you see one Asian, you've seen them all. That's the old motto.

It's growing in popularity in America. This is reflected in the increase of Asian restaurants. Well, that's easy to say.

Please read for us. Go back up. U.S. visitors to Asia saw a 33% jump, while Oceania and Central America each saw a 30% increase. So people just traveling.

Traveling overall is just increasing their palate.

And that's growing too. Men that prefer trans women. And bring that up. How much are people enjoying more trans sexual... But the trans people in Thailand are like hot, hot.

Oh, yeah. They're not just these bootleg trans people.

Yeah, here we just have some fucking fit ginger running around with a bra on during the streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras, and he's yelling that he's into something new or whatever. It's like, bitch, you're not. You're just a fucking some St. Patrick's Day bear. Yeah. These are men right here. Yeah, they're all dudes, man. If you hadn't have told me that, I would be empty in an hour.

I'm just saying, sometimes people just say Wiener is just long pussy.

I think it's something you hear if you put your, you know, if you.

Wiener is just that long pussy. Who won? The pageant was inaugurated in 1998. Okay. Let me get a little bit more of this because this is really fascinating. Sandra Pimai Panyakam. Mm-hmm. collapsed to the floor and shed tears of joy after she was announced the winner of the 25th Miss Tiffany pageant held at the Tiffany Show Theater in Patia on Sunday night.

Saruta triumphed after failing to catch the judge's eye on four previous appearances as a Miss Tiffany contestant.

Miss Tiffany, a nod to the pageant's original goal of promoting human rights and equality for transgender people in Thailand and around the world. Are transgender people accepted in Thailand? They are. So it's a big part of their culture.

I think, yeah, these people are beautiful. Wow, this is a, that's a young lady, huh?

Hey, it's like you don't know what you don't know. Don't come on my back and tell me it's raining, you know? That's that old wives' tale.

Do you want to risk finding out you enjoy this? I don't know. You just, you know, you don't want to accidentally bring sand to the fricking Wiener beach or whatever, you know, but yeah. Oh no, dude, I think this is great, but I think the issue that we have in America, and that's just a joke, but I think the issue that we have in America is that it's, you have men using it mostly for sports, right?

It's like, if you're going over to play sports and you know, you're a biological male to me, it just feels like you're cheating, right? We should have a, a, a, a, a class. It's just for trans people. and let them compete there. And let it be a new thing that we embody and embrace. And that's the thing I would try to start if I'm trans.

Like, don't put me in with men or put me in with women if I'm not exactly as them. Let me do something new.

Oh, that's a good point. Oh, yeah. If you're too busy.

Maybe we're coming to a unique time in culture where men are tired of being men, so they would rather spend their time looking like women. And women are tired of being women, and they would rather spend time looking like men.

Some Malarvan Gaye. Is that fair? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, if we had some Mellervan Gate. Yeah. And we played that, that would be beautiful. Let's get it on. Yeah. And you're just touching that snail's back.

Oh, that's a good point.

I like this. That's the dessert on the menu at Fuyo.

The dessert is a secret path to Qatari citizenship.

One last thing I want to talk to you about. Oh, you hear a lot about Taiwan and China, right? Oh, yeah.

Just what, talking about it, or what are you-?

Really? And did you have, oh yeah, wow, this has 40 million views, Uncle Roger?

Okay, China, good country, good country.

Good country, good country.

That's hilarious, dude. So is that a real feeling in Taiwan? Some of them feel like they should be part of China and some people don't?

Yeah, that's true.

Yeah. And they just probably don't want you having a say in what China is like. They just don't want you having a voice in their country.

Yeah.

I don't know. I mean, these days, a lot of things get taken down even in the U.S. I feel like there's things you can't say. I think things get submerged, you know, or like, what is it called? Shadow banned?

What is the biggest issue over there with Taiwan? Do you think that they'll remain free? Because they make some of the most semiconductors in the world, right?

China and the United States both view Taiwan's dominance of the global tech supply chain as a national security risk. In response, they have tried to boost their own capacity to make chips they need. Yeah, I think they're trying to make more chips in the U.S. I know that that was something I saw a couple weeks ago. NVIDIA's chief says U.S. chip controls on China have backfired significantly.

Jensen Huang, who I'd love to talk to, the chipmaker's top executive from NVIDIA, they're the number one, they're the leader in chips, I believe, said the attempt to cut off the flow of advanced AI chips spurred Chinese companies to accelerate their development. Wow.

Lawmakers in Washington have worked for years to limit China's access to the cutting-edge computer chips needed for advanced artificial intelligence, particularly those made by NVIDIA, America's leading chipmaker. And yeah, so these are the chips that are used for AI.

Right. And for some reason, they make them the best over here. Taiwan has the best ones.

So far. Yeah. But according to NVIDIA's chief executive, Jensen Huang, those regulations driven by economic and security concerns have only made Chinese tech companies stronger. Wow.

I mean, this is the type of thing somebody would go to war because whoever controls this is going to control a lot of things.

It's almost like one of those, it's like that thing where those things are dropping and you're catching them, you know? Yeah, yeah. I like it. Nigel, good to see you, man. Good to see you too, man. Thank you for all of the entertainment, man.

Yeah. Oh, me too. I'm just wondering what could happen to the people of Taiwan, right? I think that's my like question is like, do people there live every day? It must be weird there every day. You're going to a factory probably and creating these chips, but knowing that the creation of these chips could have a semblance on if you're, country gets attacked or attempted to be controlled.

It has to be very strange, I feel like, you know? Do you think that makes any sense or no?

Right, or by keeping to make these, what if we all decided we're not going to make them? Would they all just leave us alone and we could just be at peace?

Oh, I see. So they need them because they're supplying them.

Do, um, this may one of my last questions. Do you think, so a lot of goods from America are made in Asia, right? Do you think that a, how do Asian people feel about that? Like, do they take a lot of pride that they make it all these like things that go all over the world? Do they just feel like it's just a means to an end and there's not a lot of pride in it? Like, what does that feel like?

Do you feel like, especially probably to China, China's the place that gets labeled a lot as like making everything, you know? What have you heard or what do people say about that?

It is, huh?

Oh, so you had a Zoom call with a checkout person?

Oh, Philippine, yeah.

But no, I think that's great. I just always wonder, like, I always think like, oh, yeah, it's just like how I look at it from my perspective as an American. I never think like, what do these people feel about it? Like, you know.

Yeah, I like that.

I like that shit. But what about this? And I'll say this. Round of applause for Filipinos. I want to say that, right? Yes. Joe Coy. Joe Coy did good. Doing good job. Doing good job. But I want to say Filipinos, it's funny because they're usually the last people you see before you die because a lot of them work in hospice care.

You know?

Oh, yeah. It's going up.

It's a little bit blocked, yeah, by like one Filipino person with like a stethoscope, you know?

But they often have a lot of the same name, you know, David. David. David. David. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's another one? Maria. Susie. Susie. Popular. Look at a popular Filipino-American names, then we'll get you out of here.

Moment house. Yeah. Yeah. Is it live performance on moment house or is it, you just tape it, put it up and then there's a premiere.

Filipino. God, I want to be when it happens again.

Big round eyes. You ever heard that song? No.

Big round eyes. Oh, yeah. It's about Filipino love. It's about Pinoy heartbreak.

Oh, yeah. They're secret, huh? Yeah. James, that could be one. Edward.

Benjamin. Benjamin. Yeah, Benjamin. A lot of good Filipinos. God.

Oh, like Italian Filipino. Like, oh, Pinoy pasta. It's a ravioli. Yeah, I would love to be Filipino next time, man.

Dude, we could come back, huh?

Oh, you want to be a kid with rich parents? Oh, it would be fun.

But would you attack them? Would you like Menendez them or whatever?

Like Menendez brothers? The guys that I think they attack their parents or something because they brought them cold food or whatever? I haven't looked at it.

Yeah.

Okay, it sounds dangerous. Yeah. It sounds dangerous for us. Nigel Ng, thank you so much for coming in. Of course, man. We really appreciate your time, brother.

Yeah, I would love to do that.

And you started, so were you born in Malaysia? Yeah, yeah.

I'd love to, dude. Yeah. I'd love to swap a, we got to swap a number or something. And this has been one of my favorite interviews, man. Thank you so much. Like sometimes I go into like a day or something. I'm sure this happens to everybody. But it's like, how's this day going to be? And you're like kind of tired. You're just been along, whatever. And then it's awesome, you know?

I think that's the power of people getting together, right? Because sometimes you need somebody else to make your day better. And so I just want to say thank you so much for your time. And yeah, I hope you do get that extra restaurant opened up, dude. I think it would be exciting for people to go see. and for more people to learn about foods from different parts of the world.

You can check out Uncle Roger's channel. He's got a great channel. It's Nigel Ng. Yeah. Nigel Ng. And we'll put all the links and everything, man. Anything else that you wanted to share? No, that's it. Check out my channel.

Oh, and best of luck with the marriage, dude. Let's say one nice thing. Say one or two or three nice things about your wife so that one day she can look back and she'll have this.

That's true. That's a horrible thought to say, huh? Is that egotistical to say that?

That's all I'm saying.

What's something nice about her that you really admire?

Shut it down. No. Okay. You think you found the love of your life? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. That's cool. That's why people get married, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point, huh? If you haven't found the love of your life, then what are you, just part-timing it with somebody on your heart? Yeah, situationship. Just the fuck buddy of your life. Yeah. You know? That's a long haul, man.

Well, congratulations. Two months to your marriage? Yep. Oh, it's exciting, dude.

Shut them down, dude.

Pull the semiconductors right out of their backs, dude. We do not need them hitting the air.

To that factory in the sky, dude. Thank you so much, Hazel. Have a good day, brother. You too.

What are Malaysian, because I don't know a ton about the Malay, right?

Me neither, really. You don't?

Really? Yeah. So there's beef between what type of Malaysian you are?

Oh, I see.

It's very peaceful.

So it's not violent, but it's still like you just kind of stick with your tribe.

Oh, Malaysians can't eat everything?

They're Muslim?

You like each other. But every now and then, there's a little bit of Mongolian beef with each other.

Yeah, yeah.

it's bad American Chinese shit it's travesty it's something you just it's something you fill your jaw with while you look at through Target it's nice at an airport you know you get an airport Panda Express you know it's the best thing there yeah it's good but it's a lot of sugar though yeah sugar's good but sugar you like sugar come on I like it, but I just know it's secretly plotting against me.

That's what I feel like.

Well, I feel like it gets in your system and it knows it's going to win. Because it's like a deteriorant. Deteriorant. It deteriorates you.

Yeah. That's what I heard. I heard that you got married. You're married a couple of years now.

Cause Asians, you don't think, cause people think about Asians a lot, right?

Okay. And was it scary for you to choose a fiance? How had dating been like for you in your life?

YouTube's Uncle Roger shares photos from engagement shoot with fiance Sabrina. Beautiful couple.

That's when men lock it in. They're like, this is it.

Oh, yeah. You can't have a relationship. If you're doing stand-up, I think it's impossible, you know? Because also the hours that you're out, it's very like... And I had a day job, too.

Yeah, why? Why would you think about this a lot? Because I think it's fascinating. Okay, right. Because people can't, some people can't believe it. They see it, they, you show somebody, like you show a baby an Asian or whatever, I think they'd be surprised, kind of.

Yeah. Yeah.

In Malaysia, is it popular? And sorry, because we've never had a Malaysian guest. You should get Ronnie Chang next. He's Malaysian too. I've messaged about it. He's so funny. We got to do it. He's Malaysian? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So some people keeping secret then because I didn't know that. But I would love to see, in Malaysia, I just want to learn about a little bit of the tradition of the place.

Okay, let's do it. So do you have to, is it arranged marriage or what is dating like there? No, it's not arranged at all.

And when incels, you say, what do you mean? Incels?

Yeah. Their gamer tag is like, these whores are ruining everything. 6,000 or whatever.

Yeah. Oh, that kind of thing. Yeah.

And why is there a different... Do they outlaw that kind of stuff there? So, they must have... Because... It seemed like you would just keep a stricter... Yeah, why don't they have that prostitution and stuff like that? Or just put some people to say hoes, fun hoes. Fun money hoes.
