  • All right, I need pho.

  • (gasp) Or dim sum!

  • Okay, it's 2 am, there's no dim sum right now.

  • Well then tacos, but we'd better get dim sum in the morning.

  • Wait, so tacos or pho?

  • Why can't we ever get like pancakes after drinking like white people do?

  • Hey, I'm offended by that! My vote's for pho.

  • But I would say pancakes too.

  • [laughter]

  • Sir, what, what is your vote?

  • Well, I'd say neither. Best drunk food is Seolleongtan.

  • You know, Korean Oxbowl noodle soup.

  • Daaaaaamn!

  • Okay! Okay!

  • I know a great spot in K-Town if you guys are interested

  • F*ck yeah! Let's go!

  • [chanting]

  • Alright y'all, see you tomorrow, bye!

  • A-Andrew??

  • Lana? What are you doing here? - We were just at Honeycutt.

  • Hey Lana, let's go.

  • [whoosh]

  • Hey, good morning.

  • How you feeling?

  • Ahhh, pretty sh- [laugh] definitely don't recover as easily when we were younger.

  • Um, the group's getting lunch. Do you wanna...do you wanna join?

  • I'll pass.

  • It'll be fun and I'm sure they'll be happy to see you again. It's been a while.

  • Andrew, what are we doing? You and I both know nothing's changed.

  • You talking about pho, or dim sum or-

  • Can you not joke about this?

  • Well, um, okay you're the one that came on to me last night, so I don't know why you're acting so serious right now.

  • I'm sorry. Okay, I was weak.

  • And intimacy was never our problem.

  • Right, um cool. Remind me again, what was our problem? What was I lacking so much that you just couldn't be with me?

  • I'm not having this argument again.

  • We're not even together. - Yeah, I'm very much aware of that.

  • Look, there's no doubt you have a lot to offer. You got a nice condo, a stable job. You've been a very good "Asian son".

  • Thank you...? - You're...

  • ...comfortable, Andrew. You're playing it...

  • Safe?

  • Yes!

  • Safe.

  • God, you gotta be kidding.

  • And as long as you get upset when you hear that instead of actually looking at your life,

  • there's no chance for us.

  • I'm sorry, again, for this.

  • I'll talk to you later.

  • [trying to save himself] I hope you know comfortable is a good thing

  • People strive for comfortable. Someday you're gonna be on the spirit flight and you're gonna wish you had comfortable.

  • [Almost had it, man. So close]

  • [Slo-mo of food porn]

  • [OoOo is that ASMR?]

  • I don't like dim sum!

  • Dude, what??? [everyone is shocked]

  • I, think dim sum is...

  • overrated. It's just all carbs and like one tiny little piece of gooey shrimp.

  • Are you okay? [obviously not]

  • You can't not like dim sum. That makes you like a bad Asian.

  • Someone just told me I was too good of an Asian, so...

  • Okay, I think whatever type of Asian you wanna be is perfectly fine.

  • No, no

  • I agree with Tom. You are a bad Asian if you don't like dim sum.

  • I mean, that's like a black guy that doesn't like soul food or a white girl that doesn't like cold-pressed juice.

  • It's ingrained in your culture. - You have to at least pretend to like it.

  • That's what I did when I first moved here.

  • Okay, you know what? I'm not gonna feed into these stereotypes any longer by living a lie. All right?

  • Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go visit my grandma and I'm gonna bring her pancakes

  • and bacon [bc who doesn't like bacon]

  • So, I guess he did sleep with Lana last night. - Big-time. - What???

  • [rapping] Asian American aim for the perfect ballots. He came to America say hooray for the parents. Born in the States

  • But my grandmother raised me though before I learned to the talk. I learned the hand-water ratio.

  • Pancakes and bacon!

  • ...bacon... [when they don't know what bacon is]

  • [so close, yet so far]

  • Richard, it's your favorite cousin!

  • DUDE! What are you doing? - I'm so sorry. - The door was closed. Why didn't you knock? - Sorry.

  • sor- I can- I'll just- let you- finish?

  • It's fine. I'll just do it later [erections don't go down that fast, do they?]

  • I'm so sorry, man.

  • But, you know,

  • you can always talk to me if you have any questions. That's what older cousins are for man. - Naw, you can't help me.

  • Sure. I can I'm a guy too - man. I did the same thing. - Really?

  • Did you take lessons?

  • What...? - Yeah, lessons to learn how to dance.

  • OHHH

  • Dancing! - Yeah, dancing. What did you think I was...

  • [even the subtitles guy got yeeted]

  • No, dude ew! GROSS... - I just-just saw two Asian girls in a dim room and... - It was a kpop video!

  • Oh, how could I tell. You have a Kleenex - This is for allergies! It's spring, dude. Jeez gross...

  • Why are you trying to learn how to dance?

  • All the Asian kids my school could dance. Apparently it's like a thing. - What, really? - Yeah, and proms coming up,

  • so all the other dudes are gonna be in the dance floor doing this like Kpop routine

  • And I kind of wanna try something.

  • That's so weird. When I was your age, the stereotype was that Asians were all smart and had the best grades.

  • Yeah, but you're old. [roasted and toasted, sliced and diced]

  • You know thanks to all these Dance Crew shows and Kpop and YouTube, everyone thinks Asians can dance. In addition to being smart.

  • It's like they want us to be everything.

  • That sucks. - Yeah, you had it easy. There were no dance beauties on YouTube yet, huh?

  • When I was in high school, there was no YouTube yet. [Oof]

  • Holy shit, you're old. [BIG OOF]

  • Hilarious, right?

  • I mean we had to grow up thinking all anyone saw us as were nerds with accents, and now they get to be freaking cool hip-hop

  • dancers. I take that any day. - No, I was talking about you almost walking on in your cousin getting off.

  • Oh, yeah, it was seriously, right? I mean he should have been way more careful.

  • Kids are careless these days. They're too spoiled and they can watch porn anytime

  • they want. I mean, back then, I literally had to wait like 12 hours to download a 30-second clip of Leanna Scott, in 240p. [that's what I call dedication man]

  • Dude, I had to, like, Ocean's Eleven a plan to find the perfect window of privacy for my parents and sister.

  • 240p?

  • What are you 80? Hey, I will f*cking destroy you 240p you little sh*t. [hey man, lets keep this PG. Oh wait]

  • It is cool, he's trying to learn how to dance though.

  • I mean like you said we didn't really get the chance to explore anything creative when we were younger.

  • I mean, can you imagine if our parents let us do something other than Kumon or Model UN?

  • Damn Liana Scott was hot. - IT IS HOT! Is hot!

  • Thank you for not barging in this time. - Pssh, shut up! Are you ready? - Yeah. - Let's go.

  • [what a god]

  • Dude, that was amazing. How did you do that? You were sitting on the side the whole time?

  • Okay, not a lot of my friends know this, but, way back when I was in high school

  • I was actually on a dance team. Before YouTube made it cool. - What? Why'd you stop?

  • Lot of reasons. Wouldn't have been the smart choice. My parents definitely would not have supported it. Not even know I could pursue it

  • I never saw any Asians doing it on TV and stuff. - Not even on, um, Myspace?

  • There was no Myspace when I was in high school. - What? How old are you?

  • Okay, I'm not gonna bring you back next week. - Okay. Okay. I'm just kidding. - Look,

  • I'm just happy for you when I saw that you were interested in learning. I don't know,

  • I just thought about how I played it safe trying to be a good Asian when I was your age.

  • And I didn't want you to do the same thing.

  • Yeah, well you don't play it safe anymore, right?

  • I mean you think so, but I don't know as you get older. It's hard to take chances-

  • Oh, no! - What, what? - This video was set in 240p.

  • [playing along] Oh my god! - How am I supposed to post this? - I don't know. - Hold on. I got to go get the full res version

  • I'll be right back. Go, go... Okay

  • Hey, uh, Kalina, right. Yes.

  • Ah, you must be that guy trying to relive his high school days.

  • No, not not at all. My name is Andrew. I'm Richards older cousin.

  • Yeah, I got him these classes, but he's been kind of making fun of me for being older these days.

  • So I kinda showed him what's up. - Oh

  • okay, so you're like a dance mom?

  • Holy sh*t, well yeah, I guess I am. Well he had a great time and I just want say thanks.

  • Aw, that's wonderful to hear.

  • He did really? Well you both did.

  • Um well, he'll see you next week. - Okay, sounds good.

  • Oh and just so you know, our intermediate classes are on Thursday, so you don't have to use your cousin as an excuse to dance.

  • Noted, um, actually when are your advanced classes? - Uh, let's not get ahead of ourselves, bye.
