 I think it's the flower and eats out of the flowers. So that's like the aim The list is here The list is here The list is there Well, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the most dangerous Asian podcast in America What we are about to do is present to you guys a list of 20 things 20 good things about being Asian the reason why we're making this list is because uh, you know through Asian memes A lot of people are having this conversation about how different it is growing up Asian, you know We're all laughing at it. You know, there's tons of content on the internet about it and basically a Lot of people feel like that growing up There was no benefits to being Asian in America or very few being different in an environment is just a catalyst for either Good things or bad things and we're not saying that there are not negatives or not Struggles with being Asian in the Western world But we got to have a positive look at things because 2019 Dave. We're starting it off of positivity, man Here are the 20 best things about being Asian number one Whoo, there are diverse foods available to you as an Asian person that are arguably the best in the entire world as you guys know Asian cuisine is just overall delicious and a lot of top-level chefs around the world that are non Asian Look at Asian cuisine and they just they they adore it. So delicious Where have you been all my life? Yes, put it on a pedestal because they know the diversity the flavors the ingredients the techniques is crazy There is this like connection that you feel towards the Asian culture I'm connecting with the divine in all of us, you know, and that's what we're saying The good thing is you're kind of born into it, okay? And also you kind of get adventurous points because you're used to eating weird stuff sashimi ooni durian chicken feets pork blood Sausages that that stuff honestly on paper does not sound good, but if you've ever had it it can be very delicious number two to Usually the inside of an Asian household is very clean because nobody is allowed to wear shoes inside Yes, I am a big proponent of not wearing shoes in the house. Here's what doesn't make sense and I always This always got my undies in a bunch No, this really always got me where it was people like oh, they want to wear shoes in the house Oh, I'll just vacuum it. That's how it's clean I'm like, you know how many germs are on the bottom of your shoes Like there's a whole point and reason to why we wear shoes because they're meant for the outside to protect your feet Disgusting germs I would we have the same carpet at our house for almost 30 years And it's because we don't wear shoes in the house toys take off your shoes number three the third best thing about being Asian is There's a strong emphasis on family structure Generally Asians come from very tight-knit families. This is true for a lot of immigrant cultures So two types of Asian families one where they're around their extended family And then the two the second one is that they're not either way the immediate family unit is always gonna be pretty tight-knit Yo, honestly Asian families because to be honest as immigrants our parents a lot of them are not as social as other people because There's not as many people to socialize with In the community because you're different and you're an immigrant So really they make the family kind of the place where you hang out a lot So you actually spend a lot of time hanging out with your parents I would imagine that me and you spent more time with our parents growing up than anybody else There was non-Asian and maybe it wasn't part of their religion I do think like Mormon kids spend a lot of time with their parents, too My 32 year old son Jeremy lives at home with his father and I number four You have unique physical traits as an Asian straight black hair jet black hair Dark as a sharpie marker like it or I took a sharpie marker and I color your hair It won't even look at no no no. I hear some unique physical traits. I believe that run true for being Asian generally Asian You generally have less body odor. That's a fact. You have less sweat glands. I mean a little less body hair, too Yeah, you have lots of collagen in your skin. You look young. Yeah Straight jet black hair. You're super tall Just kidding One the things that are generally considered benefits are the lack of body odor and the collagen in our skin So the fifth reason why it's great to be Asian is if you are down to look into other Asian cultures There is an endless amount of diversity within Asia. I mean some Asians look like this Some Asians look like that some Asians look like this some Asians look like that. There's we're all well generally With very little exception eat noodles and take our shoes off and rice Yeah, noodles rice and we'll take our shoes off number six You get to align yourself with a lot of cool trendy things from Asia and it's not weird In fact, it's very acceptable and to even a lot of other people it makes sense. Yes All right So as you guys know a lot of Asians a lot of stuff from Asia popping right now Whether that be the music scene the movie scene the food scene the I mean the cartoon anime Manga it's been going on for many years and I think being an Asian you feel comfortable diving into it Yeah, whether it's the Beauty Queens from Southeast Asia or obviously the anime is coming out of Japan or All the pop music that's coming off Korea and China's coming up with its pop music culture There's just so much of arts like you can get a lot of keeping up with what's coming out of Vietnam Like, you know, I think Vietnam's coming up pretty hard Indonesia's pop in Singapore Obviously crazy rich Asians was based in Singapore. All right number the seventh reason why it's good to be Asian is You have multiple names. Yes, you know, you have your English name You have your middle name, which is often your Asian name and then obviously if there's different dialects of your name Like I grew up getting called David Davey D that's like on the English side right and then Taiman D1 Manzai I Think that also you develop a knack for saying weird ethnic names or also I would say you just kind of have this desire to get it right because people often times say your naming correctly He's welcome the wickedly talented one and only Duzzi or say Asian names poorly that you feel bad. You're like, well, even though this Swedish guy has like the two dots in his name like I still want to try to say it correctly Right, so it makes you give you a little bit more empathy for people with accents very thick accents mispronunciation pronunciation I'm not gonna laugh at people that makes sense. Do you know that one time we're at Applebee's and then She was like the ladies like mom was like, what should I get in the ladies like we have a nice Mandarin salad right here with the wantons and I just remember being like Why would you say it? No, you know what? I can't put that on Applebee's. We was at Kachina Kachina That's I think that chain closed down shout out to y'all Yeah, that's why Applebee's cool. Yeah, Applebee's cool. They wouldn't do that. They wouldn't do that. Asian salad with the wantons? Why would you say it wantons? You know what you know what I think happened because she she does not say those words very often number eight Everyone that is Asian is into metropolitan culture. Nice food. Nice brands fancy city people things Generally like nobody's gonna be aggressively rule. I got Asian friends whose families are still pretty rule and You know like to do the a lot of the blue collar farming fishing, but they're not against moving up That's the thing Asians love to move up. So if you get a nice house nice car a nice bag I don't even care if your family loves just loves to fish in the in the lake behind you No, no, no, no, it's like no, it's like in Asia typically came from a hierarchical king structure Like there was like emperors and kings and every country in every Asian country and to actually if you look at some Asian countries They're still emperors and kings. So there was this like exaltation of like fancy proper aristocrat life Gold a lot of gold meant people Asians love or Nate gold. I don't care what Asian country it is. They love or Nate gold We love the cold number nine one of the best things about being Asian living in the West is that you could trick non-Asian people into thinking you are any type of Asian changing slowly, but Non-Asian people kind of think everybody in the Asian silo looks the same Well, that's one of the fun. It's just funny and what you can blend in This is a benefit because you don't have to explain being a different Asian is good for different circumstances For example, I want to convince people. I'm a sick-ass B-boy Boom don't want to be in the Filipino. Oh boom. You want me to think I know about technology I might just bust out one of these Japanese you invented the technology We were growing up and if me and you open up a karate We could have maybe just winged it for a while man The number 10 reason why it's cool to be Asian is You will always have a sense of humor about yourself your culture and your family because it was different growing up It was different from the mainstream American dominant narrative And I do think when I say have a sense of humor that does not mean in a malicious derisive negative Kind of sending way. I do think some people think that sometimes, but come on man It's like, you know, I mean anytime like, you know me and Andrew used to call things jalapenos until we was like 15 Because I don't know everybody in my family calls them jalapenos You got to have fun with it You can't take it too seriously when you feel like your parents cannot grasp or adapt to Western culture There's a cute. They're not gonna understand it completely if they're from another place So you just kind of have to like like have fun with jalapenos. There's chipotle Mom our mom could not say Chipotle still cannot say Chipotle. She says chipotle You guys want to go eat a chipotle? Uh, but but it's like I know it's just like my dad cannot say Prayer he would say player. So okay, everybody say a player Let's say yo, David Robinson Michael Jordan say a player number 11 You get to talk about some medicinal herbs and odd smelling ingredients that sound adventurous and cool like you're in the know Yo, also these soups Every every Asian kid has at some point eaten what you could consider a mystical soup Yeah, like you were talking about ginseng. We're talking about black skin chicken We're talking about goji berries and I'm sure there's a ton from other cultures that we're missing But basically if you're sick depending on how traditional your parents are they will cook you some sort of like old-school soup From the motherland. I'm gonna ask the cook to make you some herbal soup You kind of get to be and this is gonna sound funny kind of like a spy Because people don't identify you with one country strong enough. They're like Well, you're you look Chinese, but you are you really with China? And yeah, you speak English like an American you say you're American But really come on how down with America are you English school? Nothing. Amen. I'm fluid man. I go back and forth man. Um number 14 you get to act uniquely different In an Asian restaurant or Asian set So for example if you're in a Japanese spot Japanese manners come more into play if you are at a Chinese spot You know Chinese ways of doing things come more into play and Andrew as you know me I Take full advantage of this. Yes when you're in a spot where it feels comfortable enough to get up and stretch Using space around you you do it and I will stretch in a Chinese spot You would not do that at like a Western spot in Asian culture stretching is very good for your body And it's very very important for all. Yeah, you're just trying to get more chief flow number 15 You might not need to buy as much alcohol Because a lot of us are lightweight By the way, I'm not saying that all Asians are lightweight. I'm not saying they don't go ham on the Henny in the remi in At least when it comes to volume Asians are not 10 15 Pounders well awesome easy a lot of us it too is that we turn red Yeah, a lot of us so so not all Asians turn red But as you guys know at probably any given Asian party, I don't care what type of Asian you are Somebody's turn really quickly. Yo, did you see that? I saw that one meme on subtle Asian traits where somebody's using a gigantic like Asian soup spoon to drink liquor out of And it was so funny because that reminds me of those old Asian Historical movies where people drink wine out of like there's like barrel with like this board like they're throwing it number 16 The 16th reason it is great to be Asian is because you're not necessarily involved in the epic rivalries They define Western civilization. So we come from the east to the west, but maybe we Either you know say hey man We're good with everybody Or I see what you're saying I see what you're saying and I think those points to be made on all sides And you know a little bit we try to step into a little bit of harmony. Hey, we value Being harmonious gray goose versus Sarang Jamison versus Henny or Henny versus Renny No Savoy versus green zone Kang-a-dong versus no, no all you can eat Korean barbecue versus a la carte Number 17 Why is it good to be Asian? Wow? We're already at 17 reasons I think a lot of people thought that there was only five dependent on what path you choose in life you could be underrated and an underdog and I do think that When you're underrated in an underdog it makes you more motivated and makes you more focused because yes They're pretty and you surprise people. Yeah, constantly surprising people now Obviously, no one wants to start off being an underdog or underrated everybody would like to start off You know at a privileged position, but that's not the case for everybody. So what we're saying is I know Even in my own experience and our own experience Constantly surprising people about being a Jeremy Lin for example and every Asian athlete that's made a breakthrough Actually kind of benefited from being the underdog and people not expecting anything You boys are so lucky to have an Asian pro athlete to look up to number 18 You will be free from certain awkward conversations with your parents Alright because as you guys know in traditional Asian households Communication is not like the number one priority at least not a Western style Yeah, definitely not a Western style of communication So you guys will not have conversations about the birds and the bees. Yeah, maybe about the birds and the bee And I take my dad could come home with that analogy. I Even know what is the analogy what the bird did the bird have sex with the bee like what happened the bee pollinates No, no, I think it's I think it's the bee pollinates the flower and then the bird comes in and eats out of the flower So that's like the egg Number 19 guys One of the best things about being Asian is Asian babies are super cute. Yeah, our babies are cute I think hands down Everybody thinks Asian babies are cute. You're saying people say that people say that all the time like you know White girls in my life have actually told me Andrew We should make babies because they'll be so cute and you know how many babies I actually have I have zero babies I've made zero babies with these people. Anyways, it's just a fantasy for them number 20th the last reason why it's good or cool to be Asian is Asian stuff coming up 2019 or I think Asian culture and Asian faces are more acceptable and Embraced in modern society around the world. It's not great yet. It's not perfect. There's always complaints There's always struggles, but overall man compared to ten years ago. I do think that Asians are trending upwards I do think there's a lot of things that people can learn from Asians I do think there's a lot of things that Asians can learn from other people as well Yeah, but what we wanted to do was just look at the positive side I think there's so much talk about oh how being Asian is a struggle or oh, we're underrated or blah blah blah We don't get this and that but there's just a more positive way to look at things and that's how we wanted to start off The year so that was 20 reasons why it's good to be Asian. Alright you guys Thank you so much for watching that video.
