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?

Do they? Do they think about Asians a lot? Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

87.904 - 102.147 Nigel Ng

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.

102.167 - 106.248 Zach

No, they look the same. Smaller eyes, squintier eyes, that's it, you know?

106.348 - 109.129 Nigel Ng

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

126.74 - 126.901 Zach
