Jimmy O. Yang is the Hong Kong Taylor Swift

A new Caramel Apple 5 Hour Energy Shot is launched as a sweet, sugar-free fall treat combining apple and caramel flavors, available exclusively online. Bobby Lee promotes his graphic novel *Deadweights*, praised for its visual style and cultural references, which is available in bookstores and online. The discussion also delves into personal experiences, such as editing a stand-up special, where Bobby reflects on the importance of audience feedback and creative risks. A major theme is the cultural contrast in dating rituals—Asian traditions, like formal courting and public declarations of interest, are contrasted with American “hook-up” culture, which often lacks emotional clarity. The conversation highlights how structured courtship in Asia reduces confusion and builds trust, while American relationships may prioritize physical intimacy too quickly. Additionally, the dialogue touches on stand-up comedy production, including editing challenges and the emotional impact of audience reactions. A humorous subplot involves miscommunication with names and friends, such as confusing "Jimmy O'Cheng" with "Ralph Barbosa," while Bobby shares personal insights on his return to Hong Kong and the emotional significance of reconnecting with cultural roots. The segment ends with a discussion about lifestyle products, like the "Built" loyalty program for renters and homeowners, emphasizing rewards and financial benefits. Throughout, the tone blends personal storytelling, cultural observation, and light humor.

But I'm taking a slow man, I'm- - You could slow. - Hey, how's it going? - Remember, Clila? - Hey, Clila, how's it going? - Yeah. - I don't worry, yeah. - Yeah. - Of course I remember. You look coolest. - Yeah, of course. - Try to look coolest. - Very Olympics, right? - Thank you. - Yeah, very winter Olympics. - Winter Olympics, yeah. - What are your snowboarder roles that was going on? - I am, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - Placing Lindsay Vaughn. - I saw, she took a big crack. - Oh, that was tough. - That was tough to watch. - What do you think about Jake Paul's reaction to his wife winning? - Oh, his wife's a Olympic, is it Olympic? - He wants Yoshi, he wants- - He wants gold. - I think generally, we should just stop talking about Jake Paul. - I know, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Do any of you guys think he'd be good at any winter sports? - Oh my God, so many of them. - Like what? - Curling. - Okay, yeah, yeah. - I can see it. - Do you have, you see me do this? - I've seen you do that. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, 'cause I practice, but if people think I'm gay, right, but I'm practice curling. - Oh. - Oh, with a penis in your eyes. I'm constantly doing things with two hand pins. - Yeah, yeah. - Right. - Well, you got to find those. - And I practice, I'm like, are you gay? I go, no, I'm a curler. - I'm looking at you now. (laughing) - Can I practice on your penis? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - There's two people that do that sport. Do you know that sport, Jaime? Curling? - Yeah. - Okay, what is it? - So the Canadian thing with a tube, like a broom? - It's a tube. - Yeah, it's a tube. You'll take it, we'll take it. - Yeah, we'll take it. - It's like a sphere. - It's a sphere, yeah, yeah, yeah. - They gotta make it into the-- - What is the criteria for you to be good at curling? You have to be, have good eyes steady, you have to have a strong core for sweeping? - I feel like it's similar to golf. - So it's not, it's really the opposite of golf. - I feel like it's still precision. - What about golf, if you're tall, and if you have a muscular like back and hip, like that's really helpful. - Yeah. - Like this, where's the talent and where's the muscles? (laughing) - That's true. - Do you need, do you need really strong hands? - Yeah, that's a good point. - I'll be the first to say, I don't think that I could sweep in that speed for that long. - Yeah, but you're a good pusher, probably. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that I could do. But the pusher has to, the act is a coach. - Maybe, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Right, right, right, right, right. Downward, downward, like right? - Yeah. - Like a spotter. - The spotter, yeah. - What about Bob Slyn, either of you? - Amen, I don't know. - You need to be able to run fast. Remember Lolo Jones tried to go Bob Slynting? - She did, yeah. - Yeah, then work out. - Why? - I think you have to run fast. - You have to track star, right? - You have to run fast? - You have to be the one, yeah. - Run and then jump into the sled. - Oh, I would miss it entirely, I think. - Yeah. - Yeah, I mean, wow. - I tried to not do any winter sports. I was just in park city, everybody was like, "Oh, skiing, I'm zero interest." Like why would you go out there? It's cold, it's wet, it's just terrible. - Yeah. - Just let me stay on flat ground. - That's how I like my women. - On the flat ground, cold and wet, in flat ground, on flat ground. No, that sounds crazy. - Yeah, it does. - Yeah, that one I like, but you know what I love the best, Jimmy? Is the figure skating. - Yeah. - Oh yeah, that's cool. That is really artistic. - It's very artistic. - And Asian people excel. - They really do excel with the emotion still. And they're very clinical, you know. The Filipinos are good. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Why you gotta always try to take a death. (laughing) Why you always gotta see. - I know, you're right. That's me. - That's me. - That's me. - Do we do winter Olympics? - We don't. - Yeah, we do summer. - Because where do we train? - Yeah, yeah. So we should add some sports that you'd be good at then. - It's just not for us, Kay. Like we have good boxers in the cold. - That's so racist. - No, we gotta keep it up. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no - Yeah, people need that in, it's both him, that's what I'm saying. - Speaking of the Philippines, not to put you on the spot, but my friend has been begging for you to perform there. - I would love to go. - The Philippines wants you, dude. It's good. - Yeah, I would love to go. My tour this year started off just like 20 cities in America. And I keep adding stuff. And I'm like, man, I'm so dumb, having never done Asia. So I went to Hong Kong first, that's my hometown. It went crazy over there. I ended up shooting my special there. - Wow. - And then-- - Are you shot in in Hong Kong? - That's cool. - I wasn't planning on it. - How many people? - It was the arena there, it's 8,000 people. I sold out five shows. - Oh my god. - I could have sold more, but like, the tickets were going like seconds. It was, I've never experienced anything. - Oh my god. - And I mean, 'cause that's my hometown, it's my people. - Yeah. - And, man, all my childhood hero showed up and stuff like that. - Which one, Jet Li? - Dale Wong, Wong Ziu. I don't know if you know, and then I met Chao Yun Fat separately. - Oh! - No! - Oh, I'm a Chao Yun Fat fan! - Yeah, huge fan, huge fan. I met like everybody there that I grew up watching. - Did you come backstage? - Chao Yun Fat wasn't backstage, but Dale was there. And many, many people, and it was just crazy. I'm like, I can't recreate this, you know? And it was, it was kind of spectacular. I'm like, so I just had 10 cameras. My home called people shot it. And now I'm just cutting it together myself. - Wow. - My director. Yeah, yeah, so I was like, let's do that. 'Cause I've originally planned on doing in Seattle. - Yeah. - But then I'm like, Seattle is awesome. Maybe my next one, you know, I'll do a Netflix one for Seattle. But this one, I have to, I have to do it for like, my people right now. - I feel like that's the right move. - Yeah. - And also just Asian general, there's so just like, hungry and ready for like, stand up in a way. That's more like, rabbit. It was wild and I was like, man, I'm so stupid. So I did Hong Kong, I did Macau, I did Tokyo. I've done, it was the biggest standup show in Tokyo ever. And the love I got there was so cool. And then so like, this tour is winding down. So the next tour, I got Philippines, I got Korea. I wanna go to the Thailand, Megan cities. And I'm like, man, I would rather hit that than say another American city, you know? - Yeah, I mean, those are your people too. - I know and it's, that's what I'm saying. I was dumb, right? 'Cause you see my crowd, it's even in New York. It's like say, 70% Asian. But if you go to Asia, everybody's Asian. - But there's so many, there's so many. - There's so many tickets to be sold. - Yeah, there's so many. - You know, and I feel like I'm really serving my people 'cause they're underserved. Like Hong Kong don't really have a new big comedian and Tokyo don't really get big comedians. You know, especially once I speak English. So it was pretty cool to go back there. - So when you do Tokyo, are you scared that they're not gonna get your jokes or no? - I mean, they know when they buy the tickets, you know, it's in English. - And I have some Japanese material, they know. - Like in Hong Kong, everybody's asking is then Cantonese, is it in English? - Yeah. - I'm like, I'm an English-speaking comedian, but I added like about 20% Cantonese in there. - Wow. - So that's in the special. - Yeah. - Well, when we played London, Andrew and I, you guys sold more tickets than the both of us. - Did I? - At the '02. - I did the Wembley, yeah. - You had the Wembley thing. - Yeah, it was cool. I didn't expect it, yeah. It was my first time there, too. - I was backstage and go, yeah, give me a bit better. - No. - Yeah, yeah, we were like, good for you. That was, I was so proud of you. That was amazing. - Thank you. - You're blown up all over now. - It's kind of crazy. - Yeah. - And honestly, it's, it's. - I do El Paso, 200 seats. Pretty good. - But both of you, both of you would absolutely crush on Manila, but you love the Philippines. - Have you done it? - There's no proof that I'm gonna sell tickets there. - He is. - I'm not liking him. - He's an international star. - I know Jim, I don't know if I sell out multiple. - You sell out multiple, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - No, you crush it, Bobby. - Yeah. - He would. - In a different venue, probably. - No, but the Philippines is so has your back. - We can tell my special comes out. - Okay. - And then see, you know, and then, you know, we'll see what happens. Cause I've never done a special. - Yeah. - I just did one. - Yeah. - I was there. - It was fun. So get that out there. You know what I mean? If the people are like, oh, we like it. - It's so stressful. I don't know. I'm on the Lexopros kicking. - Oh, yeah. - It makes me mad. - I'm also applying pressure. - Oh. - Yeah. He doesn't like that. - What do you mean? - And then you gotta play this. - Yeah, I would be a bad hostage. I'd give away all the secrets.

Can I ask you about your special because it's such a veteran of the game as your first time shooting a special. How was it that you edited yourself? How was the experience? They're editing it now. I don't even know where they are. You gotta go in that Bobby. You gotta go in there. You can't look at it. I can't look at it. I hate it. It's stressing me out, but you gotta do it. That's what he called him. I got it. I got it. I'm dyslexic. He got excuses. I hear things differently. Jimmy O'Yan. No, it's fine. It's totally fine. You've been thinking about that since, huh? Rob texted me. And he's like, it's not Jimmy O'Chang. I'm telling them that when I saw Rob this past week, he's like, oh, tell him I said, well, something. So then we called Ralph. I was busy. And I go, do you know who I have a guest on this right now? And he goes, no, man. So it was a lot. Stop, stop. It's fine, dude. Sorry, dude. I forgot who you said it was. This guy's gonna fired me around. I tune out when you talk a lot. It's fine. It's fine, it's fine. It's fine for you, not for me. Why? Because he's an extension of who I am. Is he on the payroll? No, the payroll. So it's like, it's a little. No, please. We're not calling Ralph again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We believe you. Stop, don't call him. He's at the girl. He's at the girl. He's at the gap store across the world. What is going on here? Who shares the location with anybody? You don't share with anyone? No, is that dangerous? Should I? I think we won at least one person. Yeah, I feel like dudes don't really do that. I know those are very good at that. We have to be. Yeah, girls are very good. Because you and I have a motto. If you're gone, you're gone. Am I not right or no? I don't think anyone cares enough where I'm at. Oh, you're so dramatic. I hate when you do this. You're like fishing for people. Yeah, I want people to go, no. Who's going to be at my new goal? Where is everybody? I go, you're supposed to go, no. No, Bobby, come on. I'll take your location. It's too late. You're the type of guy who would have a live funeral. Like, you need to hear everyone's eulogy about you while you're still alive. So you're going to be like, I'm asking you. You're going to get off fake our own death. Yeah, see how much we're loved. Don't come, like, sign fell, don't come through. Like, if I'm dead, I wouldn't even know. Yeah. I don't even know what sign fell, by the way. Yeah. Ralph Barbosa don't come through when I'm dead. I wouldn't even know. Yeah. I mean, I would fake my own death. Mm-hmm. And then, like, live my, but I want to hear what people have to say. So, it's, oh, my God. My bad. What was that? Oh, that's a pro. Death. Well, excuse me, say it again. Like, what would you do? Like, oh, yeah, that's how he died. Yeah, probably car accident or something. Oh, that's hard to fake. Oh, this? Yeah. You'd have to police report. Okay. What's easiest to think? Disappearance? Disappearance kidnapping. Yeah, kidnapping. It was frozen in the atundra. Oh, yeah. He went there. Avalanche drowning. You know, you can go to, like, uh, whatever you climb, you know, kill him and drown him. And then you died or something. But also you can have like a, a, a, a manic, or like, you know, mean, like a, a wax version of me in eyes, right? And take photos of it or bring it, bring it to the funeral. So, you know, I mean, like this, and then I'll hear what people say. And they'll pop out and go, you're a bastard, man. You know, man, you really love me. You know, I mean, we were never friends. We were never friends or something. You know, I mean, but how would you come back from your death? How would you explain that? Oh, I will tell everyone. I'm like, I'm not going to lie. I lied. I lied. This is all because I wanted to see what you guys had to say. Yeah. Some of them said good things. Yeah, you know, you're cool. You're cool. You're cool. You're gonna have to fall out. Yeah. You're even right, you know. Yeah. What's wrong? What do you mean? You're looking at me like I'm off a little bit. I am literally locked in into what you're saying. What's up with these glasses? It's Ray Bant. Thank you, Hi, Bant. Ray observation. Thank you. What's up with these? I've been having horrible migraines. And I need to like block off the light. But thank you. Hi, Matt. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wait, back to your special. Yeah, back to your special. Oh, yeah, go ask ask. I do want to talk about that. What would you do if you haven't even asked? I did. I was like, so have you been editing it? You don't want to say it. Oh, yeah, yeah, you have. Are you nervous? How do you feel? So this is what's going to happen. Okay. I'm letting them edit it so they could have a pass at it. Yes. And then I'm going to come in. Okay, great, great. But you got to go and sit there for like a week. Yeah. You know it. Why a week? You got to get into all the nooks and crannies. I've heard so many comics. They go in the give notes and they dip. Yeah. But I, the editing is so important. It is. Because the editors might not even be there to show. You're a director. Might not feel the way you felt of like, oh man, that joke actually hit here. Oh. Like, ah, should we switch shows here? So if you shoot, if you shoot, how many shows do you shoot for your special? Usually two, but the Hong Kong one went up to shoot all five. All right. So do you watch all five? Yeah. I mean, I've been editing for months now. That one, that one's a beast. I think you're acting crazy. It is. But I think I'm making improvements. You know, yeah. Yeah. Because what people perceive and what you perceive are two different things. Like sometimes it's like, you know, I, I, I think I didn't have a good set. And people go, no, you actually did have a good set. So how would you? I screen it for my friends sometimes. Oh, you screen it. For this one. The other two were pretty easy. Yeah. Two shows. One show was better. And if I flopped the line, you go to the other show. Come back. Right? Yeah, yeah. Choose angles with your direct. Yeah. Do ADR yours? No. Okay. I want to. I really want to treat like a movie in the ADR. And like, I'm like, can I put in. They wouldn't let me. Oh. They're like, that's never going to work. Yeah. But people have done that with the ADR. No. Oh, okay. I just want to go. You could. Like, I've heard Eddie Murphy. Was it raw? He shot. One show or two shows. But then he shot when there's no audience. Just a close-up of him. Just so they get that footage to cut around. Wow. Yeah. I don't know how that works. Because, I mean, for me, you feel the audience is energy. Yeah. Even on the close. Do you want to direct that? I think so. I think it'll be fun. But it has to be. It has to be something I'm really into. But I love that idea. Like, we're missing one, like, wing angle. And the special rebuild the podcast. And I want to go back to Hong Kong and shoot it. Oh, my God. I see the audience. You know, I support this 100%. Yeah. Yeah. That's where my head would go. No one's going to watch it. Where's the wing shot? I would. It doesn't matter. I would. I would. And then it's the flow. They might laugh harder if there's a wing shot. It's, I totally understand what you're saying. I would go through extremes, too, to get the perfect thing. Right, right, right. On the screen. Yeah. I can't get it. Because, no, no. I'm not saying go that crazy. You've got to reset the whole thing. If you're going to freak me out right now. No, no. You're fine. You're fine. I'm just going to. I'm just saying, I've heard comics. They don't even go into the edit room. They give notes. And then they out. They never see it until it comes out. Yeah. Because I understand you're nervous about it. Yeah. You got to go in. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm sure you. I'm too critical, though. That's the problem. That's good. How is that good? That's good. You got to be critical to, like, improve, no? No, because I base it on, like, you know, when we did it, I got off stage. I go, what happened? And they're like, what was really good? I mean, I base it on other people watching it. Yeah. Because I have, you know, I can't watch myself. What's wrong, George? No, no. I'm thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? You have, like, the version of this Morpheo. We're in the Morpheo, yeah. Oh, you stand up this Morpheo. Oh, I'm this Morpheo. Or it's, like, heel crush. - I think you'll walk out of there being no one laughs. - You can't hear it, you can hear it, you can feel the audience, right? - Yeah, I felt it in my bones. - Yeah, that's right. - It made so it's like, to me is I have to trust that instinct. - That's it, yeah. - Like I heard it, I felt it, I saw the people around me, Alex, you were there. - Yeah. - Right, so it's like, already after what's done, the reason I got depressed afterwards is because, in my mind, I was like, I should have done this, I should have done that. - I'm gonna rebuild a set. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I was thinking that. I was like, you know what, what was the thing? Coming out on stage, I did kind of the same thing over and over again, and I regret that I didn't have one where I could just came out normal. - Yeah. - I mean, I did this. - There's a lot of power poses. - Yeah, there's a lot of this. - Yeah, I was doing a lot of that. - That's amazing. - But I like when you do that. - Yeah, maybe subconsciously did it so that I don't have a choice to use it. - Oh! - You know, actors do that, you know? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And you give me this, I'm like, no, I'm just gonna keep doing this shit. 'Cause I like it. - Yeah! - I mean, it's better than how you came out on stage on our live show, how you like rolled into. - See. - What if you did that? - So when I asked you, was that embarrassing that I did that, you were like, no, it was fine, and now you're saying that it was out of here. - I thought it was funny, it just didn't get the pop, I think you thought it would. - It was a death roll. (laughing) - Oh, alligator death roll. - One, I was rolling, I go, is I'm not getting a pop. You just kept rolling, and then I stood up like this, and no cheer as, and I'm like, - I'm gonna kill myself. (laughing) - It was like, so, you lied. - I personally thought it was funny. - Okay, but no one. - You put some fake cheer in there, it's fine. - Yeah, it was a live show, so I don't care about that. - Yeah. - So ask me some more questions, editing, let's move on from editing. - Yeah, where'd you shoot it? - San Diego. - San Diego at Babal? - Yeah. - Beautiful, great theater. - Great theater, I did four shows there. - Four shows, do you feel in your bones, like this is the show that is the show? - Is it bones? - Are you the one that first brought up bones, or am I the one? - You said it. - Yeah, I did. - Oh, okay. - I'm trying to speak earling. - I'm hearing you, you did. - Oh, you are? - Okay. - Is there one show you, like, man, the first show, I'm like, you're like, this is it. - Yeah. - Did your bones feel it? - Yeah, did my bones? - Yeah. - Do you get itchy bones? - No. (laughing) - Where it's like, you don't know where the itches. - Yes, I hear that. - And you think it's in your bones. - Yeah. - Really? - Yeah, yeah. - Usually my itches on my skin. (laughing) - I just don't know where it is. - Normal itches? - Yeah, I got normal itches. - No, normal itches. - Maybe you got psoriasis. (laughing) - No, normally I do have normal itches, or I even can see a bump, and I'll go, oh, that was a little, you know what I mean? - Can you look that up, build phantom itches? - Yeah, phantom itches. You never have a phantom itch. I thought that's for people like that's missing a limb. - Phantom limbs? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - If you go to scratch and it doesn't relieve it, it's like too deep. - It's too deep. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I think we both have diabetes. (laughing) - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So it's, yeah, it comes from amputation. That's pretty common. - Yeah. - Multiple. - Anyway, let's go back to the special. - No pain. - No pain. - So when I-- - Is your itching, like, that's-- - He's trying to go back to the special. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no - No, you know what I'm saying, right? - I don't. - You know what I'm saying, Jimmy? - Is he like your son? (all laughing) - Yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of. - It's sort of like a big brother thing. - Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. - So it's good, it's good, yeah, anyways. - Yeah, so there's some shows where I thought I that couldn't have gone better. - Yeah. - Probably one in four, one in four? - Yeah, the second and third one is fine, you know, but so I wish I could have made some choices, you know, I also, I should've taken more risks, you know. That was another thing. - Like once you killed the first show, you're like, I should've tried some other shit. - Yeah, yeah, this thing that, you know what I mean, that I have in my catalog, you know what I mean, that, you know, but I wasn't intending it to be in it, but like I should've just thrown it out there. - Right, 'cause how much material do you have after how many years now? - Okay, Jimmy. - No, no, I'm saying, what are you doing, Jimmy? - I did honestly. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a very good question. - Honours, audience questions. - I'm so picky about my material that I only did like 38 minutes of material. - Oh, wow. - Yeah, yeah, and I did another 10 minutes of others, other things, specialty, specialty device stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, 'cause for me, it's like, it has to go, bam, bam, bam, bam, which is like a terrible way to looking at it, and the next special is gonna be completely different. - Yeah. - I'm gonna take my time, more point of view, whatever. - This is great, so you are gonna do the next one. - Yeah, that's awesome. - That's exciting. - Because of my mind, it's like, it's not that hard. You know, in my mind, I was like, oh my God, it's gotta be this and that. But then, when I saw Chip Hell's, I mean, the last one, he just leaves so much room. He's so comfortable with silence, and not having laughs every fucking five, 10 seconds, right? That it's like, to me, that's okay. That means that they're listening, and he can really talk about how he feels about things. I mean, we've had this argument many times, not argument discussion, where it's like, I think my joke writing, Carlos Muncia, fuck me out. - Oh, how so? - Because he's so bam, bam, bam, bam. As a kid, I used to watch him in rooms. Just go, bam, bam, bam. - I ain't crush, yeah. - In my mind, I'm like, oh, it has to be like that. - But that's great. I think that is what the audience wanna see. - Crush, crush, crush. - Yeah, but now with the whole Netflix thing, it becomes more storytelling. - Yeah. - That's what I'm saying. - It comes more like one man's show. - So both are valid, but I do think the audience wanna see Crush, Crush, Crush. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you wanna crush, but it's like, so what else do I have? The clothing, maybe I should have thought more of it. - Yeah, that's fine. Did you think a lot about your clothing? - Not really. The first special, I just dressed myself, and I was really comfortable. I did think about the lighting and the color that they go with my clothing. - Yeah. - And the second one, a higher stylist, and it was too, it's not so much me, but I have had people still till today, 'cause like, what'd you get that jacket? I want that jacket. I'm like, okay, whatever. - Yeah, yeah, and for Hong Kong, was it the Hong Kong one? - The Hong Kong one. That's where you get a stylist? - No, no, no, this is the third one. - The third one. - No, that one hasn't came out. But that one, I regret with my t-shirt. My t-shirt was too loose, like the color was too-- - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the second one. - That's the second one. This is the first one? - Yeah, the first one. See, that's super simple, but that's it, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And it kind of pops, like, within the color. - Yeah. - I do think that's it though. It is color is everything. I don't even think it's the style because, like, you just have to pick the correct color for you. - Yeah, so the-- - That's cute too, though. - Yeah, so these stripes, I planned everything and I worked with my director shout out to Marcus Rayboy. But the Hong Kong one, I just shot it on a limb. There were some great camera work by the Hong Kong team, but then, there's no DP there. There's the, you know, the lighting's not perfect. So there's a lot of imperfection, but it's more like a rock concert than anything. So I took the whole hard drive home. It's in a suitcase. And I've been editing it and editing it with Marcus. - I just drew a Chinese thing, then what you're doing it. I, well, yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a hard special to cut this one. - Those are favorite director from Hong Kong, Bobby. - Wong Kar-Wai. - Oh, he's awesome, yeah. - What? - He knows now. - Yeah, Wong Kar-Wai is my favorite. And I'm trying to get you to get into him. - I'm gonna hurt him so bad, or into me. - Some people aren't open to, like, real pure art. You like Wong Kar-Wai? - Or for 10 for an entire decade. - That's, yeah. - I've been trying to introduce him to In The Mood for Love, which was like standard. And then chunking express, fallen angels. And he was just like, nah, nah, nah, I don't want, but he calls himself like a cinephile. But I'm like, how do you not know Wong Kar-Wai? If you call yourself a cinephile. After we broke up, he texted me. He was like, you should watch In The Mood for Love. - You forgot she was doing that, totally. - And I was like, who introduced him to that? - And he had watched it with, I think, a vintage date. - Yeah, an vintage date. - Hey, that's a deal closer. In The Mood for Love, that's a deal closer. - That's what you're saying. - She Asian? - No, a white girl. - Yeah. - I think when Asians push Asian shit, when a white girl pushes Asian shit, then I'm gonna wanna-- - You gotta listen. - I have to listen. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - She told you about In The Mood for Love? - I honestly forgot that you even said it. - I'm so mad at her. - Yeah, yeah, I'm so mad. - I think she did, we talked to her. - So I forgot. So when this white girl was like, in the Mood for Love, in my mind, I was like, that's just unfamiliar. - So I'm like-- - Wait, the white girl also told you, you're saying? - Yeah, this is years after, you know, we had broken up. - Right, right, right. - She's at my house, you know what I mean? We're in bed, let's watch a movie. - You didn't suggest it, the white girl suggested it. - I, you know, I, she suggested it, yeah. - Yeah, then I'm like, you're fucking. - You're fucking, like, if a white girl's on a date. - She chooses that movie, like, that's an in, for sure. - 100%. - That is such like a slow romantic, beautiful movie. - It's beautiful. I mean, I just don't like the way it ends, you know what I mean? I want the, I don't want to give it away, but it's like, I want them to-- - Yeah, of course. - You know what I mean, that, but I think this is cool too. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? It's, it's love that doesn't actually happen. It's the feelings are there, and they do love each other, but they can't, for some reason, yeah, beautiful. I think that's what I want, maybe. That's why, I mean, how old are you now? - 38. - Oh, you're so young, yeah, yeah. but do you want? - Forever love this, like this? - I think so. I'm starting to date more seriously now, you know? I give myself maybe like two years. - And I think I'm ready. - Whoa. - Yeah. - And I'm-- - You think Asian or why? What are you thinking? - I do think Asian now, you know. I've dated the girls of every ethnicity. I haven't dated a half Asian girl just as a transition, you know, but I do think culturally, it's very important to share the same cultural values. Speaking of same language, it's very important to me. You know, my kids would speak the same language didn't communicate with my parents better. So yeah, I'm, especially this, so this last year, 2025, when I went back to Hong Kong, that was my first time going back in 15 years. - Wow. - So that was how I got in touch, you know? And I stayed there for like two months and it just felt like I filled this void in my heart that I've been avoiding for a long time. And I think that speaks to the dating part of it too, you know, 'cause I was trying to assimilate to be American. But then when I went back, I'm like, "Man, I've been missing this part of my life "and this is who I was and still who I am and who I want to be." Yeah, there is a comfort there, no? Yeah, yeah. - I think there's something else that really special about like the 1.5 generation, like you, Ronnie Chang, or even like Zhao Ying, or even Andrea Jin, right? Where it's like you come to America at a little bit of an old, a little bit later in your life. There is that feeling of like you understand both places so like intimately. - Yeah. - And when you go home, you're like, "Oh, fuck, I tried a little too hard to assimilate." - 100%. - Right. - And you feel that with every little thing, like in American dating is so different than Asia dating. - Yeah. - I don't know, even though the difference tell me. - So when I came first came to America, I was 13, right? I didn't know, I thought I would date to get married when I turned 16, 18, whatever, right? But then when I watched them like American pie, they were like, "You gotta get laid on prom." You know, average age, you get layfers, and then you go to college, frapport party. And I was like, "Oh my God, I'm such a loser. I gotta get behind this." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So then I started like kind of that getting into that. I'm like, "How do I, you know, like young Jimmy, it's like hook up culture, like how do I navigate that?" And then the dating, even as a-- - And I find it, it was harder for a little Asian. - 100%. - It's so much harder. - I didn't get any action. - Me either, me either. - Until I started doing stings. - You speak to me, do me do. - Yeah, exactly. That was the hardest. - That's the whole reason why I'm doing it. - Yeah, yeah. - Let's be honest. - If I was tall and white, I would have never done that. - I would have never done that. - You know? - I'd be like, "Welcome to Kinko, you want to be a Kinko." - That'd be me. - And especially that time when I was-- - You want dry paper? I don't know what it would sell there. But like 20 years ago, like Asian wasn't cool yet, you know? - Yeah, we were fobs. So you came here right around the same time I did. I was a fob. Even the Filipinos rejected me. They were like, "Your accent's a little bit too hard "on the consonants." - Yo, I remember Korean kids in my school and LA rejected me. They're like, "Hey, China boy, what's up?" - Oh, they called you that. - Yeah, 'cause I was like, "Okay, these are the only Asians "in my school. "Let me go hang out with them." And then they, I mean, they became my friends eventually, but they made fun of me 'cause I was so foreign. - They probably called you Jimmy O'Chang. - Yeah. - Wait, was it different? How was it like in Hong Kong? Like in the Philippines, the courtship has levels instead. - So I'm just learning this, right? So, like, you know, you can talk to someone in Asia, what are the Hong Kong, like, whatever, right? For weeks, for months, you go on dates and you don't do nothing, right? Like, you don't make out, you don't even do nothing. Like, it's not. You don't lead with, 'cause here in America, after like three days or whatever, say, you hook up, you have sex, you know? And then you have this three month period of designing, are we exclusive now? Are we boyfriend girlfriend? Everything, it's like backwards. - See, okay, I'm glad you brought this up. - That's why situationships happen so much more often here where it's still-- - And then people get hurt. - And it's more clear, like, cut and dry over there. It's like because you follow these steps and these rules, there's kind of less confusion about where are we at. - But you know what's crazy? Because I'm so Americanized, I got confused. Like, I'll hang out with a girl. We obviously are, like, like in each other, but then we have a main out. I haven't had that physical, like, assurance. And I'm like, how do I know she likes me? - Oh, right, right. - But if I'm friends on, what if I'm a loser? No, but then they're like, no. Like, I was talking to a female friend of mine and then she was like, no, like, what do you mean? You don't need sex to know if someone likes you is she hitting you up all the time? Are you guys, like, having a good time going out? - Yeah. - And is she making moves to try to hang out you again? - 'Cause I dated a girl here, like three or four days, Chinese girl from China. And I went in for the fourth date. I went kind of went in for a kiss and she was like, weirded out by it. - Yeah. - And in my mind, I was like, oh, she doesn't like me. - You're done, yeah. - But I think I fucked up then. - Well, because in the culture, you're saying that like, you know what I mean? - It's a lot of-- - What? - A lot of courting. - Yeah, a lot of courting. - Yeah, my tip really is like a long, drawn out process. - I kind of like that. That's how it's supposed to be. - That's how it's supposed to be. - Yeah. And it also just feels so much safer for me, even. Like, I think it's like a physical sense, like an emotional sense, where it's like, all right, there's a real pursuing and he's pursuing because, you know, four or five months in and, you know, he likes me as a person, right? But also, I think there's also just like four or five months. - But in the Philippines, it's different. Okay, our thing is like, you also have to harana. Harana is like, you actually have to do a public display of like a serenade or a public display of like-- - Before anything. - You have to make an announcement with-- - It's like a bird's recording-- - Like a bird's a paradise. - Yeah. - Yes, there has to be-- (upbeat music) - Right, yeah, you do that. Back in the day, they used to like, sing underneath like your window. So like, if-- - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah. - I gotta say, I'm like, I'm probably doing it. - Okay. - Yeah, but like, look it up, Guild, like the steps of Quartz says. - Can I ask you guys this though? - Yeah. - How do you know when your friends on though?

How do you know when you're friends on, though? - Well, she says friends. - There's no confusion because-- - 'Cause if you're core of that love, that's what I'm trying. - Okay. - I'm gonna ask this. - Can I tell you the first step in courtship in the Philippines is asking if I can court you. It's not immediate courtship. So, if I say, "Bobby, I'm really interested. Can I court you?" And then you say, "Yes." Then it's like, "There's a mutual interest here." And then we can proceed. - Yeah. - Because if you're like, "Nope, I don't want you to court me, you're done." Already friends on, there's not even gonna be-- - But in America, right? Women use guys for meals, right? And different things, right? So if they said, "I'm gonna, can we court?" Right? Okay, we have an understanding. Six months later, right? You spent your $80,000 deep, right? - Yeah. - First of all, 80,000. - 80,000, 80,000, I think. - That was it, it's six months? - Yeah, you're 80,000. - What does it flex? - She's basically a Gucci store. - Yeah. - Okay. And then she's basically like, "Yeah, I just want to be friends." - But I feel like that. - That's what I'm friends on. - You just got played. Like that's what I'm playing. - How do you know if you're getting played? - Friends on is different. - 'Cause you spend $80,000. - Oh, is that what it is? - But also, that's on you. You love to spend $80,000 and blow your money. - Do you? - No, I don't. - What about you do? - No, I don't. - That's the thing. - You love-- - That's not what you're from, you spend $80,000. - Bobby. - It was a hypothetical. - Oh, sure. - Hyperboly, yeah. - Hyperboly. - Yeah, yeah. - 60,000. - Yes, whatever. - But you know, Papa likes to flex that he's got money. - But, babe, how do you know though that it really is a courtship, even though she said, "Are we courted?" You know what I mean? - Maybe there's an honesty and-- - Yeah, I think-- - It's a wrist. - Of course, it's gonna be a wrist. If you say you court me, you want to court me, and I say, "Yeah, because I'm like, oh, he's attractive." And then there's, that's why it's a five step program. The next is you have to announce interest. And you're not even officially yet. The third step is-- - What is announcing interest? Like, I like, can I court you? - Yeah. - And then a couple of days in, you're like, I like you. - It's not a couple of days. - It's gonna probably be a couple of days. - And you make it an hour. Like, here, here, here, here, here. - Yes, yes, yes. - Everyone gather. - So after you make legal, which is the actual courting somebody, right? - What is courting, by the way? Like, is it going out on dates having dinner? - It's going out on dates. - Yeah, yeah. - Justures of like sweetness and like flowers and like-- - Chocolate. - But you don't touch her. - Yeah, no touch. - You don't touch her. - Okay. - Have a public, you know what I mean, affection, like you know, like a holding their hand. - Holding hands I think is okay, yeah. - Okay, yeah. - Okay, okay. So when do we, when does Jimmy and I know when the courtship part is over? - If we're-- - Give me the signs. - Okay, so there is always going to be a point where you have the conversation. Like over here in America, everyone avoids the conversation, are we aren't we, right? Where are we? Everyone's like, I'm not ready. Whatever whatever. - Yeah, you have sex first and then you decide six months later. Like, yeah. - Yeah, so once you create, once you say yes, you can court me, you are committing to that conversation down the line of, we have to come back together and figure out if we're gonna be, you're gonna be my Joa or not, my boyfriend or not. - But are you expected only court one person and is the girl only being court about one person? - Yes. - Yes, you have to be very respectful in your court case. - Whoa, so-- - Whoa, what you're saying-- - You're going down the line, you also have to let her parents know that you're courting her. - Whoa. - Whoa, good. - Yeah. - So it's all backwards, 'cause you don't meet the parents until like, a year or two years in here. - Yeah. - Okay, well, can I ask you some other questions if I may? Okay, so let's say the court is, so when the courtship is over, is it marriage and then? - No, marriage is like, you know, you can, that's a negotiation, you can make out the room. - You're just boyfriend and girlfriend. - You're just boyfriend and girlfriend, right. - But to get there is like, I think it just eliminates confusion, you guys. I think America has it all wrong. That's what everyone's stuck in fucked up situations is. - I totally agree. - I think it takes the mystery away too. - Everyone's confused here. - They're confused. - Everything happens at like lightning speed and then everyone wants the dopamine hit. - Yeah, you don't even know if you like hanging out with that person without like, outside of, say, hooking up here in America. - I think you're onto something here. - So when you boyfriend, after, I don't know, how many months of courtship you go through five steps, then the end of five step is boyfriend, girlfriend. - Yeah, you're Joa, like, we are together. - And then you can have sex. - You can do whatever you want. If you, you know, you can even have sex, I believe. - What do you say? (laughing) - What do you say? - Go ahead. - What do you say? (laughing) - And she said, "Aino." (laughing) - Bro, what, you go from courtships right now? (laughing) - He doesn't want to kiss. - Yeah, he doesn't want to. - He's on your payroll. - He's hilarious, man. - Yeah, yeah. - Hi, man. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So you will go straight to Aino without kissing and stuff like that. - Not even, not even. - Wow. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - That's where your mind was. - That's where your mind was at. - Well, she said anything and he had sex only. - Oh yeah, I understand, I understand. (laughing) - But not everyone follows these rules back home. I'm just saying that this is that usually, yeah, there is hook up culture, but I think it's more confusing over here for sure. - That's also another question. It's like, still, we live in a modern, you know, Philippines, we live in modern Hong Kong, Japan. There are people to hook up. There are people that are into old school courtship. How do you know who's who? - Yeah, how do you know who's who? - But then I guess you can kind of vibe it out, you know? - Yeah. I think that you're onto something because it's like, I'm stuck in a lot of relationships where you meet somebody three days that you're having sex. It's a lot of a lot of sex, right? And then six months down the road, you're like, rollo, how much, how much sex you got? - How much sex, how much you fucking? Like, you know, a few times a day, like what are we talking about? - Watch out. - Hey, how much you curling? - I'm curling, I'm curling maybe three or four times a week. - Wow. - Okay, that's yeah. - Three or four times a week. And then it's like, six months later, you're 18, 80 grand in debt. - Yeah. - Somebody else, it got 80 grand, that's a lot. - You're right. And then you realize, you don't even like this person. So I think reverse engineering it, right? Maybe the right, you're right. - But I like the announcing intention early. - Yeah, I think. - I don't think that's early, I don't know. I don't know Hong Kong culture, like the modern culture, as well, but I'm not sure if you do that super early, I don't know. - So when you were in Hong Kong for two months, shooting your special disin that, were you courting anybody there? - I went out, like I just checked it out. - You checked it out. - But also, it's like, Hong Kong is such a small city state, you know, it's seven million people. It's like Manhattan, New York. Whatever I do could end up in the newspaper. If I walk around, it could be, you know, pictured. So I couldn't like go to a club, neither that I wanted. - Oh, right, right, right. - There's no street clubs out there, right? - No, I don't think so. - There's no way. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'd be crazy. Yeah, so you checked out. - I checked it, I just wanna get a vibe. And sometimes I would talk to a girl from Japan, from Hong Kong, just to ask, like not even like, trying to hit on her, like I'm very much like, I don't know, maybe I'm just old and like chill now. - You're inquisitive. - Yeah, I would go ask a stripper what's going on, and not trying to hit on her. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Or I'll go ask a nice girl what's going on, not trying to hit on her, and then we'll see what happens. I just don't wanna mess around waste time anymore, you know? - Yeah, I think you both are onto something that dopamine hits is what we're, you know, I think that's the problem. I'm looking for a feeling of quick fix, for sure, and a relationship isn't a quick fix. - Yeah, top of the muffin only. That's what you eat and chase. - Top of the what? - Top of the muffin. - Yeah, yeah. - With a crispy part on the top. - I love the crispy part, don't you know. What it's burnt to, on the burnt a little bit. - So tiny, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Wow, how long would you wait until the sexual, would you wait three years? - Well, three years seems like a lot, I'm a little older. - But it's like, I don't mind waiting anymore. - Yeah. - I don't really get it. - But what's the time though? I mean, you can't through do three, you know what I mean? - Look, I think if there's progress, it's fine, you know? - Oh, like four months in, we kissed. - Yeah. - Yeah, there's signs. - There's signs, there's progress. I'm going the right way. I'm not just spending 80 grand. - Yeah, I'm not just like, bleeding out. - There's a difference here. - We got a slow play, apparently all the younger kids are about sides now. Have you heard of this? - Side piece. - Nope, not even that. - Anel, right? Just lots of anel. - Side, so like basically taking it back to junior high and just doing side stuff, not inner course, more like kissing, foreplay, dry humping, things, except for inner course. It's kind of like, to build the, you know, to build the thrill, yeah. - Yeah. - I like the anticipation part of a lot of this, you know? - I love the anticipation. - Like, I get nervous, I, you know? Like, does she like me? Does she not want to? I really like her, but I think there's a vibe. I like that, it's nerve-wracking. - But isn't that still dopamine? - The side? - No, the mystery part. - Mm. - Does she like me? - Of course. - Yeah, that's all still dopamine. - But that love, the deep, the deep knowing of someone, like, that's irreplaceable for me. - But here's some, a little story I'd like to tell you. - Okay. - Everyone in the room, I wrote some of the story. It's something I witnessed. So, a long time ago, when I started doing comedy, I had it with this girl, and she's very funny. I want to say her name. And, very attractive. We never did anything, we were just friends. And then she met somebody, many, many years ago, and she got out of the comedy business. And she had children with this guy. - Nice. - And she was very much in love, and I just ran into her, and seen her many, many years. And I go, what's up, and you can tell something was up. She's like, I'm just stuck. Like, what are you stuck in? She's like, I'm so unhappy in my marriage, but I can't leave. - Because of the kids. - Kids in the house, you know what I mean? So, and my kids are, there's another 10 years before they leave the house, and my mind, I'm like, that just sounded like torture, you know? I don't want to be trapped in that situation, you know what I mean? And, you know, and I know that people change in relationships, and I think that's my biggest fear, man, is to be in a situation where I can't get out. - Well, I think that's, I don't think that's, you know, exclusive to Asia dating or American dating. - You know, after a while, like, your marriage could just not work. - Yeah. And there's no way to know and prep that. - No. - No. - Yeah. - There's really no way. - There is no way. - But there's a risk you take. - I've also heard opposite examples where someone has been on the road so long, next thing you know, they 45, they never really seriously dated. They want kids, but it's a little too late, and they're super depressed 'cause they missed that time frame. They wish they'd never told them. - Me. - I've heard no one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - Wow. - So I'm in pain now anyway. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, I don't know what you're waiting for. I think you're so ready for something great. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's true. - Yeah. - I have a show idea. Jimmy and Bobby go to Asia to court. - Horseshoe. - Horseshoe. - Horseshoe. - Horseshoe. - Horseshoe. - Horseshoe. - Yeah. - He's scripted like a dating show. - He's gonna pull so much more than me. - Not about that, it's finding the one. - Yeah, when his courtship, it doesn't matter. - You're gonna get the one performed with the my one. - No, that's not it. - Can I coach you in Asian courtship? - Yeah, it's like the opposite of popping a balloon. That's like so cool. - Oh, like whatever, this is just so funny. - Yeah, yeah, coach us now. - Okay. - All right, so. - We've been in Hong Kong. - Does it have to be Hong Kong? - No, no, let's say. - Let's say. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - What? - Let's go. - Let's go. - Let's go. - You've been staring great. - You've been Monterey Park. - Yeah, Monterey Park, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Let's say, let's say in Japan. - Yeah. - Just 'cause it's mutual Asian. - Okay, so first off, I have two rules for the both of you. Number one, delete all your dating apps. - I just did. - Oh. - I just did. 'Cause I'm like, I'm gonna take this seriously. Like, it gives you the opening hit to like talk, but it never works out. - It never works out. - It's about hooking on, and you know other people on 50 talking, 50 messages anyways. I deleted it. - And once you match, that's the hit, right? You don't care anymore after that. Once you get them, you're like, oh, okay, cool. I got the dopamine hit. Don't care to have the conversation. Okay, so delete. - Okay, delete the maps. I'm not gonna do it now because it's hypothetical. - Second, you're gonna both meet people in the wild, right? - Oh my god. In Japan, I don't know Japanese. - No matter. - Okay. - X-pads, dude. - What? - Number three rule, you are not allowed to tell anyone your profession and what you do for the first month. - Whoa, wait a minute. - Whoa. - I have no skills in. - You have the only way I get laid. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my thing. - No, but what if they know who we are? - Already. - Okay, that's fine. - They're not gonna talk to me unless they know who I am. Like, I'm not saying I met her at a show, right? - Okay, if we're just going for the sake of actually just coaching you to be good quarters, I would have you approach women who don't know who you are. - In Japan, actually mostly would be popular. - So that you can really practice skill of like, you know, because I feel like that is really important for you, for either of you to feel like this person really likes me. - Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. - It's never gonna be about like how shiny you are as Jimmy will be. - Or get it. - And then, okay, and then do we ask 'em out on dinner and then, or do we announce like, hey, I'm feeling you right now. Can I court you? - Well, it depends. - Yeah, I'm getting you right now. Can I court you? - Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey. - The next thing is you're gonna give, actually, know what? I never know what the correct answer is, if you give your number, if you ask for her number. I think you ask for her number. - I see you ask. - Can I give her a business card? - No, no business card. - Why? A black and white head shot. - It won't say comedian. (laughing) - Hi, Bobby Lee. - Yeah, yeah. - You're comedian Bobby Lee. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, but those are my three rules. - Okay. - That's, we'll start there, and then we'll graduate onto, once you get past actually being able to ask a girl and like, garner her interest without all of that, then, you know, we'll move forward from there. - And we cannot have sex anyway. - Yeah. - No. - Okay. - No. - And how long? - A month, you can't tell 'em for a month. - A month, a month, a month. - And you just court where you take her out on dates. - What if Bobby got a side piece he's having sex with just keep his mind off? - Oh yeah, that's another thing I wanted at the time, no side pieces. - Yeah, I see, there you go. - So, what's going to ask about that? - Bobby's still going to do it, a lie. - I'm not, I'm not doing it. - I'm not doing it, yeah, yeah. I mean, no side piece, I'm going to tell you, I'll be honest with you. - Okay. - I think that if me and Jimmy were in Japan, he would be courting first. (laughing) I do believe that. - Dan's just saying. - Yeah, I think, four weeks later, I'd just be looking at you like, I know, no courting yet, you know what I mean? And then, the shit thing's over. - The show's over. - The show's over. - I don't believe that. - I don't believe that at all. - It's going to take me six months to work. - No, but I think, like, that's a great thing about Corsia, but it's like, people are dating you for you. It's not just like, like, you skip it. - Oh my god. - And they're like, getting laid or whatever, you know what I mean? - But my assets, right, is that I'm, you know. - That you're funny. - I'm funny, yeah. - That's what I'm going to do with being a standup comment. - Yeah, that's nothing from your profession. You just are funny, Bobby. - And I have an IMDB. (laughing) - You've shown that? - Oh yeah. - It's on dates? - Yeah. (laughing) - What I've done. - Rule number four. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I've done animation too. - What, but I think once you're leaving it-- - If you do the Corships stuff, it kind of, like, I think you're much more than that, Bobby. You know, you're not just, you know, funny and-- - No, okay, great. - Rachel, IMDB, or whatever. But I think once you do the Corship, you really get to know each other. You're like, man, I'm actually good, dude. I'm actually different than that guy because of this. It's not about getting laid. Those are your assets for, like, you know, trying to sleep with some woman in Miami or something. - I think it's also gonna eliminate this idea in your head that your only value is your profile. - That's right. And the only value is money, fame, or land, you know. - 'Cause that's all shallow and it's not sustainable. - Okay, yeah. - It's not. - Oh, here's another thing. I think maybe we have to lower our standards too. - No, have high standards. We're talking higher standards. - High standards for character. And you're attracted to who you're attracted to. You cannot, you know, but I would say, like, dig deep and really go for people with, like, character. - Yeah, character. - Ah, character. - Which I think you do a good job with. I think that you, you do date hot girls, but you also date everyone. - When that hot girls don't seem that important anymore, if you really gotta spend four months with this person, you know what I mean? Like, you gotta look at her character too. - Oh, I see, you know? - Yes, sometimes they're character, and all the time the character is sexy. (laughing) - I like that one. - You like that? - Yeah. - Sometimes they're all the time. You're right. Where are some traits that I find sexy? What are some traits that you find sexy? - Non-physical, you mean? - Yeah, non-physical. - Non-physical, I think if someone shares some of the same interests, you know, like, just chill stuff, like, gardening, cooking, or says a humor. - Yeah. - Not just saying, like, they have to be super funny, but you understand humor. - You can laugh at things together. - Yeah, and, you know, this sounds super basic, but like, kindness, honesty, and like, stuff like that. - Yeah. - You know, like, are you gonna argue with me about everything or-- - Oh, I hate contrairions. - Yeah. - Or it's still exhausting. - Or even it's like, okay, if you don't agree, there's a way to talk about it, you know, can we just, you know? - Yeah. - Like that. - Okay, so that-- - And family values. - Family values is important. - Family values. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know? - My thing is I like when they have, like, they're obsessed with a weird thing. - That's really good. - Like, I like 17th century yo-yo's. (laughing) - You're like, what? You go to their house and they have every style and from every-- - That's awesome. - That's awesome. This was on the "Build the Dage". - Someone that think, like, something that they geek out about a lot of times. - They geek out about it. I really like that. - Yeah, that's really cute. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Something passionate about something passionate. - That's smart. - You gotta be more of a character conversation. - Yeah. - Something that's not high IQ, but, like, conversationally. - Yeah, I like weird rituals too. - No. - No, that's not me. - You don't-- - And that ritual sounds scary, which-- - What? - No, like, a daily ritual, like a weird thing. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, yeah. You know, I have to stick my toes in the-- - Quarky, quirky. - Quarky, yeah, yeah, yeah. - On the spectrum. - On the spectrum. - On the spectrum. - On the spectrum. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Humiliation. - No, no, no. - On, like, a pentagram. - I'm like, what the fuck? (laughing) - It's so cute. - Yeah, it's so cute. No. Or, like, you know, I saw a TikTok world girl and wakes up every morning and she puts her butthole to the sun and she needs that. - Oh, yeah, be whole sunning. - Yeah, be, yeah. - That's probably good for you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Where's some of sunscreen, though? - What? - What? - Where's some sunscreen? - You have to put some around the calamari, yeah, yeah. So what else do I look for? Shared interest is good, too. Like, here's what I can't do. When they have no passion, that, I don't like, you know what I mean? And there's another thing, is, everything is typical. Like, I like Taylor Swift, you know what I mean? - They got no personality. - No personality, I mean, yeah, at pumpkin spice. - And they don't know what they want. Sometimes that's really hard. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm not there to try to figure it out with you. - Yeah, and if all they want is a baby, that's also a red flag for me. - Oh, that's right. - All I want is baby. - I get that now that I have one, I totally get it. - You do? - Yes, because I used to be like, "Why would anyone just want a baby?" And then you have a baby and you're like, "Why would anyone not want a baby?" - Right, right, right. - Oh, right, George? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Are you being real? - I'm being so real. - I feel like it's a trick. - No, I, listen, all respect to people who never want to have children, I totally get it. But once you have your own baby, you're like, "I can't believe I was that person who never even cared for babies before." Like, I'm obsessed. - You are. - Like true obsession. - I get it. - Well, you got a good one, that's why. - No, you've, it doesn't matter. - It's something that you don't get a good one. - It's a sense of purpose, and it's the most, you know, you're not given purpose. You could have more than money, more than anything. - Yeah, you have to pad the walls 'cause yours is a little, you know what I mean? Nuts, you know what I mean? - Right. - You got to lock the knives in the house. - Those babies are cute. - Yeah. - Oh, gosh. - Yeah, I want a good one. - I would say at my age, my life would make a lot more sense if I had a baby. All my friends got married, got babies, they hang out parks. - Oh yeah. - You know, like, I got nobody to just, like, hang out. Like, I'm still trying to, like, should I still try to go to that, this bar? You know, like, I got nobody to, oh, I heard this bar's cool, but I ain't got nobody, like, hang out with. - Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna hit up, like, you know, a 22-year-old dude, and I just met at the improv. (laughing) - Hey, man, you want a bar? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, the other night, even this happened, I was at the comedy store. I was in the main room, I had already gone up, and I was walking out, you know, the main room where you're, like, I'm walking out, you know, the back row, and there was, like, a group of girls there from out of town. - And they're like, sit with us. - Right? So I sat down there in an empty space seat, I sat there, and then, you were so funny. You know what I mean, all that stuff. And they, hey, you want to hang out afterwards after the show's over? I'm like, yeah, I'll meet you over here, you know what I mean? With the show's over, right? When they met me over there, I was at home playing video games. (laughing) That's the subject. - Like, peace, man, don't let them disturb you, peace. - I know, but what I'm saying is I'm, like, back in my 30s, I would have stayed, and I would have, you know what I mean, taken the risk, you know what I mean. But now it's like, I can't even do that anymore. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You know, yeah. It's like-- - Tiring, like, tiring? - What? Like, tired of it? - I think it's like, if it's guaranteed smash, I would have stayed. - Right. - But I'm not willing to, like, stick around. - But also smashing doesn't mean that much to you anymore. - Yeah, coach doesn't like to hear this. - Yeah, what's this? - Oh, wow. - Here we go. - Courts. (laughing) - You look gay couple. (laughing) - The Asian Burton Ernie. (laughing) - This show would be a hit in Japan, like, with the visual. Like, it's kind of like-- - I mean, can we just try? - Because I feel like this actually might be a go for the bullies. - Let's get Howie Mendel on this. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Howie Mendel is it? - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's really cute. You like Howie Mendel? - Yeah, I want to met him a couple times. He seemed nice. - But Jimmy, have you ever watched Terrace House? - Yes. - Okay, so-- - Yes, I love Terrace House. - Me too, obsessed, right? But you know how everything is, like, non-dramatic. It's just chill, but we're, like, locked in. - Yes. - I need this show to have that same kind of-- - All right, both of you pitch me 10. Because I remember you used to watch it all day long. I didn't understand why people watch it The pitch to me why Tarris house is good. You go. I'll go first Yeah, I'll say I'll chime in. Okay, so the concept of Tarris house is very much like the real world except that things They're not it's not over produced things there's six kids are they six? I forget how many six just live in a house And then they go very pretty Japanese people. Yeah, they go about their regular lives They go about their regular jobs and then the camera just captures their little interactions with each other sometimes they date each other But it's a very quiet non dramatic show. Yeah, but you become so heavily invested because you learn about who they are Their dreams their passions why they're in that house What they have to achieve before they leave the house. Yes, and nothing happens It isn't like bad girls club where people are beating the stuff. Jumping in the hot tubs fighting No, no, no, there's no fucking and they work jobs. They have real jobs. They go to school. Yes, and then I'm telling you Bobby You know like in heated rivalry just that the finger touching. Yeah, I love that house when when two people when two people kiss It's like I'm a little teenager again because it's like nothing happened. That's like season finale They like even have a little peck and there's called the greatest thing is every 10 minutes They cut to commentaries. That's where they're the best commentary. They're so funny Oh, and then and then you really see the Japanese courtship happening like there will be like episode seven Like there's only maybe 10 episodes episode seven or it's 20 episodes episode like 15 the guy knocks on the girl's door Would it be like I am actually very interested in you would you be interested in actually going out with me? You know, it's a complete opposite real world when they fucking in the hot tub And then one of the episodes in one season this guy takes this girl sent out this good gorgeous girl He takes her to a church with like a big bouquet of roses. Yeah, he gets on his knees and he's like like date me And she just stands there and she's like nah, and it is. Oh, no. Yeah, see heart breaking But it's like he'd he'd go through these extremes like that's courtship. He got suited up He got the flowers. He chose a church and it was hilarious Great content. Yeah, and then and then two days later he Harry carried But I really feel like you guys should do something like a dating show But with a same tone of terrace house. Okay. Yeah, but the goal of everybody in the show is to find love Yes, so that's the very deep you know, it's like very serious. They take it very seriously It's not the surface level of American game show Yeah, and when a girl checks out like then check the terrace house and a new person comes in knock on the door Yeah, and you're like who is she and you only see like this part of her hair at first Never show the face. Yeah, who's Jimmy's next. Yeah, you know, but then it's so polite But then you start seeing some spark. Oh, he she's spending a little more time with him. Yes, but like they're spending time But she she's not filling him, you know So let me ask you something. Are they still doing the show? They had to stop for a little bit because one of the past members No, she Sadly, and alive herself. She was getting a lot of hate from the fans and she was awesome She was this a wrestler girl. Oh, yeah, it was so sad. I hate the internet, but this girl was incredible on the show Oh, no, and so when did the end couple and then to Kui one of the comment I think he had so far so there was Oh wow the text from I do think Terri's house is the definition of Asian old school dating and then real world is the definition of American modern hookup culture Oh, I see I see you know, and I think I want old school I think so. I guess we get old. I think there's something to it and I do think even when we're in our 20s, you know The old school would have been better. We just got tricked by the media by everything that by the MTV culture of it that we're like No, man, you're you need to be a man and go get laid cool, you know, but who actually wants that? Yeah, because there's an ultimately there's an emptiness that happens. What'd you say? He just named on the TV channel. Oh, that I want to hear I would be like here every single reference So what did you say a spike TV? I love I think it was sweet for the first like bro bro Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, I do remember. Oh, yeah, for man. Oh, yeah I lost my TV day at like robot fight. Yeah, I think they aired like It was like bro not even like hookup bro like just like bro like they had a slam ball Do you guys remember that when I trample leans and you dunk the basketball? It's amazing How far you do you think you get an American ninja warrior? Oh We can go try my buddy's uh my buddy's an assistant director. Really? Yeah, what'd you go try? That seems so hard I won't go far like all the grip strength I can do all the quick quick like jumpy stuff. Yeah, yeah, all right. You show Bobby and Jimmy play slam This one of the date activities. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think slam ball. Yeah, I Mean, I think I really hurt myself, but that's a thing, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, what's the matter? No, I'm still working on the show in my head. Yeah You think it would work. Yeah, I think so could you can you could do this? Can you line it because we're doing a TV show? Can you line up people? That's what I was thinking too Yeah, yeah, if you line up vet vet girls who literally I could do not know who the fuck you are. I think that That would be a little hard, but I think we can find them or you can I guess we can set up like a bar situation or like Wailing for our participants and it's like a social mixer Something like that like a set up a couple mixers. Yeah But you can't let them know that we're filming a TV show where you're looking for love But they have to be a willing participants. Yeah, yeah, that's true. I want to learn their face. Yeah, I just saw Bobby did that episode with the button All the button. Yeah, yeah, that was a fun. You were really good. Yeah, always like popped up balloon type. It was kind of like that. Yeah Um, that was fun to do to watch and observe. You should do it. You know, I was there. She was she was already there. No, like she should do one for you Oh, yeah Oh, you go for other people. Yeah, yeah, it's a good idea. I mean I Here's the thing. I hate rejection when it comes to the opposite sucks. It hurts me You know, I mean, and I have to get over that I think I'm 54 will I ever get over it? No, I don't think anybody gets over. Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I think that's normal. Somebody go Immediately do that in front of your face. Yeah, like that. Yeah, you know him Oh, those guys remember that they were doing it for you're coaching them. I was told coaching. Yeah, but see the your coach and the girl the guy this guy doesn't need your coaching But I mean look like he's a very good looking guy, but if and and if he gets some like cool lines and come back from a comedian That's actually the perfect combo. Yeah, I don't think I get much help, but um he passed on her anyone. Yeah, he passed Yeah, but you know, Bobby had really good instinct. He knew when someone was gonna hit the button before they hit the button Yeah, yeah, I couldn't know vibe. He's actually better looking than any of these girls.

So um Do you have anything coming out like are you working on anything? What's going on? Yeah, so the special should come out soon Well, okay, let's talk about rock sprints first. The wife premiered Sundance. Yeah. Yeah, uh me better to go on Kelly Marie Tran Uh, it's really cool movie. That's a horror film, but it also flashes back to 1885 And we're two um Chinese minors and there was based on a real story where they got massacred by these white people Wow, it's quite sadly. It's like a timely movie, you know But you know with Sundance, I think you got to sell it and then you got to find distributor So I don't know how it works. Is it um his production company made it? No, um, it's macro macro made. Oh, macro dead Yeah, they're awesome. I love that guy. Yeah, and then my Hong Kong comedy special Um, yeah, it's coming out March 20th in the theaters in Hong Kong. Mm-hmm. Um, I haven't announced it yet Yeah, yeah, and then and then I'm gonna find some theater distribution here And then I'll figure it out how to distribute it worldwide. I wish I had your ethic. Oh, man This is so much work ethic. This is so much work. It's driving me crazy actually It'd be so much easier if I just sold it to Hulu Amazon Netflix This one, but then I'm like it's to this one is too special meaningful for me Especially for my people in Hong Kong. I was like I got it. I gotta do it myself. So you're gonna do it But you're not gonna sell it to a streamer Maybe on the secondary market, but I I wanted to have that theatrical release Because it looks it's a huge like concert film. I sing cantonies in there Wow, yeah, do you get nervous doing these gigantic venues? This one I did because it was 20 minutes brand new Like cantonies material. There's cantonies songs. Wait wait wait you Went up in front of all those people and tried material you never tried before. Yeah But I knew it was kind of gonna. I kind of knew what was gonna work Because the structure of the joke is gonna work But also it's cantonies like you know, they're gonna like it because there's a familiarity It's like you know, the five minutes every comedian does it every city Hawaii or whatever and you talk about spam wasubi And of course they're gonna laugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you kind of know do local references and you have an instinct about that. Yeah, yeah. And then so you said you prefer stand-up over film and tell. - I think so. I think I'm always, 'cause acting was always a challenge and I wanna do what I said so many goals. I try to prove myself as a dramatic actor. I've done a lot of that, but then now I'm like, man, why did I ever like, I never quit stand-up, but why did I ever take a break from stand-up to try to act? This is what we do best. - But the acting helped your stand-up. I think it made you think. - Oh for sure. - It's like on Silicon Valley, stuff like that. - Yeah, also I think Crazy Rich was, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - Crazy Rich. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I mean, do you know how many things I do that you don't remember or you never heard of? - Yeah, I know all of that. - Everything Easter Sunday, you know that. - Oh yeah, so that's the Hong Kong show.

I did Radio City, which was so beautiful, so awesome. - Yeah. - But I had to do Atlanta like two days before, so. And then I had to fly back to Vegas for Super Bowl. I was like hosting a Super Bowl party.

A new Caramel Apple 5 Hour Energy Shot is launched as a sweet, sugar-free fall treat combining apple and caramel flavors, available exclusively online. Bobby Lee promotes his graphic novel *Deadweights*, praised for its visual style and cultural references, which is available in bookstores and online. The discussion also delves into personal experiences, such as editing a stand-up special, where Bobby reflects on the importance of audience feedback and creative risks.

A major theme is the cultural contrast in dating rituals—Asian traditions, like formal courting and public declarations of interest, are contrasted with American “hook-up” culture, which often lacks emotional clarity.

A humorous subplot involves miscommunication with names and friends, such as confusing "Jimmy O'Cheng" with "Ralph Barbosa," while Bobby shares personal insights on his return to Hong Kong and the emotional significance of reconnecting with cultural roots.
