  • I love watching these YouTube videos of Japanese housewives making bento boxes.

  • It's very nice, very cute.

  • It's like a little ASMR, you know, it's just really nice.

  • This Japanese woman wakes up at 6 a.m. every day to make her working husband a bento box.

  • But I can't ask my venture capitalist girlfriend to make me a bento box.

  • I'm not an idiot.

  • I'm a sugar baby.

  • I know my role.

  • So instead of asking it directly, I just drop little hints.

  • Like we'll be sitting on the couch together.

  • I just pull out my phone and pretend I accidentally stumbled onto this video.

  • I'm like, "Oh, what is this? Bento boxes? Oh my God. It's so cute. What is that?

  • Like a rice ball shaped like a panda? Look. Look, look, look.

  • Wow. So she makes this every day for him?

  • Wow. She must love him so much."

  • I thought I was being slick until she came out to one of my shows, and she heard this joke.

  • And she was really upset man and rightfully so, I was just up here talking shit, right?

  • We went home, we got into a big fight.

  • She was like, "Babe, that's bullshit. OK? If you want me to do something, why don't you just ask me directly?

  • If you really want somebody to make you bento boxes, why don't you just go find a Japanese woman?"

  • I'm like, "Babe, I'm sorry you feel that way. OK?

  • But I think you're missing the point.

  • You don't have to be Japanese to make bento boxes."

  • That's right.

  • That's right.

  • So now I'm making her bento boxes every day. That's how I show my love.

I love watching these YouTube videos of Japanese housewives making bento boxes.
