 It's funny because I think it's good for those hosts to realize you're like hey man This guy is from another country and just because he's popular in America doesn't mean he cares about American culture Jackie Chan has no idea who the Kardashians are and the entire internet is praising him for who who is Kardashian? I think movie star somebody tell me what do they do? Yes movie stars Jackie Let's run the clip. So before we went out. We said Nellie said we're gonna have you name your favorite Kardashian. Who do you like? Kardashian Kardashian Don't he's not keeping up with them. So we're gonna go. They know who you are. That's for sure As you can see this is from morning daytime television I believe he was promoting the foreigner at this time and this is going viral again on various platforms I don't know if it's because rush hour four is going in a pre-pro and it got green lit. I know why what is the reason? I know why because a lot of people are sick of the Kardashians And they're sick of American frivolousness and they see Jackie Chan as someone who has mastered his own domain He's a legend in his own way and he doesn't need to know anything else Yeah, especially about the Western and I think he is the rare foreigner, especially an eastern man a Chinese man Who is like more a part of the Western consciousness? Then the Western consciousness is a part of his consciousness and that's very rare because usually we got it like because the Western world is more Dominant we got a more adapted them than they're adapting to us. I think that that's why everybody's shocked. They're like Jackie you were a part of my child is the greatest stuntman. You don't know about the things that I know about Jackie Chan does not cater to you. All right guys We're gonna delve into the comments section and break down more about why Jackie Chan doesn't need to know anything else Other than what he knows so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hop-hop boys Yeah, and by the way guys, we are fully aware that Jackie Chan's image has become controversial It's been like roller coaster over the last five years on the internet. However, this is not about that This is gonna be about more I guess like how he's become this like confident guy in the West that a lot of people are looking to at least for this moment I mean overall especially like people just love him and his interviews are so endearing their earnest They're funny. He's a little bit oblivious, but people understand it. They get it His English hasn't really improved in 30 years. It's really funny Andrew We actually met Jackie Chan one time. I he was nice to us I got to shake his hand once and his hands were so thick and strong like I think we're like mits They could grip on anything man. Like and his hands weren't that they were like definitely bigger than mine But they were actually just really muskier. Yeah Andrew he's been a superstar in the East Let's just say for 40 years and he's been a superstar in the West like gradually from like mini star to superstar for about 30 years And like you said he's given so many interviews What do you think it is like he's like the most beloved guy because I think he's powerful and you know that He could beat you up or beat up any most regular people his size But he seems very humble too and in his movies. He takes a lot of hits. He's not like this invincible alpha male Yeah, I mean I think he's one of those global stars and he's accomplished something that nobody else will Literally that amount of stunts that amount of movies that amount of he's literally gonna be one of the greatest entertainers in global history to be honest He is he's up there So I think that he's super confident in himself and I do think it kind of sends a message to a lot of maybe particularly Asian guys or Nerdy guys as well who have mastered something and it just goes to show you once you master something that everybody respects You don't have to cater to other people. You don't have to be apologetic, right? You don't have to go be like, oh man I'm going on sway. I better like look up like the top 20 rappers at this moment No, that's like what I would do if I was going on some show like I would look up stuff and be like Oh, I don't want to sound like I don't know anything. But Jackie says like what you you speaking English 50 cents Jackie's like, yeah, I don't know anything. But so what look at me. Look at what I can do I've done everything in this world, you know, and then if I would if that was me I'd be like, oh, I got to know everything about every sneaker and food. Oh, where does this food food come from? Where is I mean, you know what I mean? Yeah, I would feel that pressure to anyway Let's get into the comments section Andrew Somebody said my favorite part is when he asked if it's in English and all the host says yes It is but it actually the Kardashian name is an Armenian name has nothing to do with England at all Yeah, so that is actually funny that when he said it's that English actually the truth is it's it's not really English And does it go to show you that like Americans have accepted the Kardashians as almost like baseline default American culture or something like that Like I kind of made me mad when she's like, yeah, it's English Jackie. Well, no, it's not you can't find anybody It's like one of the ladies did slip in. Yeah, it's Armenian But you know anyways somebody said Jackie definitely has some samurai in him a warrior Jackie Chad this dude is a legend It must be protected at all costs I don't think there is any physical overlap between people who watch the Kardashians and people who seriously watch Jackie Chan And somebody just said no people from Hong Kong. We really don't know who that is This is an interesting bait Andrew I think a lot of people think that the Kardashians is global culture because they think American culture is automatically global culture There that's kind of true but not fully true. There are certain American stars that did not quite cross over to the rest of the globe or at least all of the globe and when you're talking about Asia The Kardashians is not something that they envy like in general, right? This is not something that is hyper hyper global. They might be more popular in like Eastern Europe maybe I could see Kendall Jenner having like a supermodel ad in Asia But not like people knowing about the drama of the Kardashian family. I think Asians are just like Do you think that Americans are wrong for thinking that all parts of American culture transfer over because one thing that a lot of people Do not know Andrew is that hip-hop is not very big in Europe Like you know what I mean like not as big it's not as big if you even went to the UK and somebody's just said Oh, I don't know who Jay Cole is. I wouldn't be shocked. Yeah No, no like not that many rappers can tour Europe so it goes to show you not every part of American culture transfers over Somebody said good for him. I also wish I didn't know who they were. I'm so sick of them. They're not worth knowing about I don't understand why they became famous. Ray J. You just said he Accidentally released that tape. No, it was all a plan from Kris Jenner. Everybody hates them But can't look away. I can't believe I was at a training for a call center in America a few years ago I said I couldn't recognize the Kardashians from each other and everybody looked at me like I was an alien That's so stupid Andrew, what do you think the Kardashians represented American society? Because sometimes it reminds me of like Jerry Springer with the drama mixed with Marilyn Monroe That's Kim Kardashian mixed with a little bit of like the Kennedy family as crazy as that sounds because you're following this Like royal high-profile family. Why do people like this family that everybody hates or people like to hate them? I think it's because they represent American frivolousness and just this fact of like Famous for being fun untalented people being superstars Where it's like not saying the Kardashians don't have a good business sense, obviously they run good business But other than that, they're not really quite talented. They didn't really accomplish anything outstanding So it's like why are you a fan? What are you a fan of like if you're saying I'm a Kim Kardashian fan? Are you a fan of her jokes her writing? It's just the way she looks her Personality does she she says interesting stuff does she teach you things? I don't know Maybe not maybe maybe different people take different information. Do you think it's true in Asia? They tend to really value the Westerners that are the best at something whether that's LeBron Messi Kobe Andrew Jackie Chan himself is a huge fan of Jody Foster because he said yeah, Jody Foster was a child actor I was child actor. She direct movies and acts. I acted then I direct movies I love it like you know what I mean? He's looking at her capacities and her skills Does it kind of go back to America losing its meritocracy? Should there be a meritocracy when it comes to fame? There should be but clearly there's not somebody said the mere fact that people support them and buy into them are the ones that Keep making them famous whether they support them to love them or support them to hate them They're saying the fact that he's going Jackie's going viral for not knowing the Kardashians It's still actually riding the Kardashians because the Kardashians do not care whether you like them or hate them as long as you're thinking about them Yes, yes, yes I do think and a lot of people tend to think about the Kardashians because and they want to Crap on them and talk trash about them because it makes them feel better about their own life They're like see I can pick apart the Kardashians on why they're not famous even though I live with my mom in my room that I grew up in and you know, it's like it doesn't matter like at the end of the day I think hating on somebody on the internet still actually helps you and makes you feel better too And it also helps them because you're talking about them, right? Somebody says China is looking better and better every day and someone said what do you mean man? China's a joke and Jackie's a joke for supporting China too. Um, obviously, you know this argument could go on forever But basically it's almost like people are just saying man I'm sick of like the Anglo sphere fishbowl and things that we're required to think about as a fish That's a part of this pop cultural fishbowl. Why does it look like a bunch of fish poop? Um, but yeah, people are I think that that's why people are looking at Jackie because they're like you're a superstar to me But you don't think about some of the things I wish I didn't know also would you say David that in a weird way Some people are looking at Jackie as a proxy for China where it's like look China Like a lot of people on the internet would be like yeah see China they just care about manufacturing They don't care about all this other American BS Look at how they're able to get all the kids to Sit still in school and and they're limiting the gaming on their apps and stuff Smart and then they're looking at Jackie being like yeah see Jackie just cares about his work He gets up and works. He doesn't even care if he's hurt He's gonna keep going and he doesn't care about all this other stupid stuff Yeah, I do think there's some tone of that but definitely I did not see that spoken out in the comment section But there may be an undertone of that psychologically in the subconscious. Anyway, Andrew Let's just get into our takeaways from silly to serious. This is for sure silly I mean, I guess there's this assumption that people we identify with or view as stars Especially in the Western world or English speaking world know the same things that we do And that's why sway almost seems kind of shocked that Jackie doesn't know who Wu Tang clan is Who's your favorite Wu Tang clan member I just you speak English You don't know the rap group the Wu Tang clan with the Riza the jizz a man That man and all those guys 50 cents and he and definitely those white hosts are shocked that he doesn't know who the Kardashians are but It's funny because I think it's good for those hosts to realize you like hey, man This guy is from another country and he just because he's popular in America doesn't mean he cares about American culture But people are not used to that Usually the people are popular in America try to know everything about America exactly I'm not surprised if you quiz Michelle. Yo, she probably wouldn't know everything either She might not know a little bit more than Jackie of course it makes sense But ultimately these people are from a different world and they're just like, you know, like the globe is my world You know, I don't have to know ten out of ten things in America Maybe I know six out of ten America six out of ten here six out of cuz I travel everywhere And then of course, I know ten out of ten of my own culture. Right, right, right Um, I also think it just goes to show you that if you're a master a Actual master at something that people respect you do not have to cater to them Right like Jackie's English hasn't even improved in 30 years Jackie's English hasn't improved He doesn't need to know who the Kardashians are or the Wu Tang clan is even though he does know who 50 cent is He doesn't have to be apologetic about any of it. He's hyper confident. He cannot be shaken You cannot shake his confidence with anything like how are you gonna roast Jackie Chan? Like really roast him like to the point where he's like nervous. How are you gonna make him nervous? He's jumping from building the building right and he even made Steve Harvey laugh and interview and Steve Harvey is notorious for maybe like Not having the highest image of Asian men like in a way You get to be oblivious if you're a master of something and I think that's an interesting message to a lot of Americans out there are young people or Asian Americans Americans Specifically where it's like we feel like we don't really we always feel like we're catering to people We feel like we have to assimilate. We're trying to be almost like the closest carbon copy to whoever we're talking to Yeah, exactly. It's like if we have an interview coming up It's almost like instead of going on the show and just enjoying yourself You almost treated like a job interview where you'd have to like brush up on who are all the hottest celebrities Oh, I gotta be able to answer this question. Oh, can they send me the questions for it? Who are all the Kardashians? I can name them all I can name all the members Wu-Tang Clan like Jackie didn't apologize for not knowing He doesn't care and you don't have to care if you're a master of something that people respect. So I guess maybe what Can you master? What are you the master of are you mastering something? I would like to think Maybe we're not masters of it, but we're pretty close to like understanding a lot of like Asian culture Asian American culture for sure No, that's now now you could say, okay Well, if I go on the TV show and the TV show host doesn't value that you guys are 10 out of 10 knowledge in that field Then I don't have the leverage to act like I don't care about right But everybody values what Jackie Chan does and that's the difference. Yeah, because he's a stunt guy He's an entertainer. He can beat you up. He can kick you fast and he's a seasoned veteran So and he has a Oscar now. He's a legend Worldwide legend. There's Michael Jackson. There's Michael Jordan and on that list Jackie Chan Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan Bruce Lee and Jackie. Anyway, let us know what you guys think in the comment section below What can we take away from this? Here's some other clips from Jackie Chan interviews over the years man? Honestly, you know regardless of whatever people said about in the last five ten years He crushed his interviews. All right, everybody. Thanks so much for watching. We are the hot pop boys and until next
