0:00 I like the Portland Pandas and I think they should have a Panda Express in their game and then instead of like get your hot dog, it's get your egg roll and then they throw it at you. They launch egg rolls at you. >> Honestly, that's not a bad >> get your egg roll. And in orange chicken news, Panda Express owners, all right, the founders who are worth over seven billion dollars, by the way. Yeah. >> My friend works at their corporate. He says that you know the the the the father that's like husband and wife team. They're in all the time. They're like and they're personally involved in hiring every single person that's in corporate. >> Oh, in corporate. I was like, god damn. >> Yeah. At Panda at the airport.
0:50 >> The people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So, they're the the Churn family or the Churn Family Trust. >> Wait, how are you how you say that? >> Churn. Like C H E R N G. >> Okay. >> Chung. >> Yeah. Cuz they're Cantonese probably. Yeah. >> Never heard that name. >> Um there they have a net worth of about $7.5 billion according to Forbes. And they are now co-owners of the Portland Trailblazers. >> Oh, whoa. >> Whoa. >> I didn't know they were in the spots. >> Why all the way up there? I thought they were based in LA or something. >> No, I don't think they're based in LA. Yeah, >> but >> regardless, they're actually part of a larger like uh investment trust, a group of investors called the Tom Dundan group of investors. >> And that group >> that grouped, but they are the they are the highest net worth people in that trust. >> That's why they're changing the name >> to what? >> Trailblazers.
1:40 >> Oh, >> Trailbrazer, man. >> Trailbrazer wrist. >> Put their stamp on it. >> Portrand the Mongolian trail brazer. ████ up, dude. >> What are you talking about? >> That's messed up. >> They should change it to the Portland Pandas. >> That's a That would be >> Portland Pandas. >> I think the people of Portland would love that. >> Yeah, cuz it's a PP Portland panda. >> Mhm. >> Dude, that's like uh >> Were you the one telling me about how like uh when the Washington Redskins turned to the commanders, it's the Native Americans that got upset? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, they're changing it back. Well, they're they're talking about it like because the the so the original guy, Chief Sittingbull or some ████ like that. One of those names, you know. >> Whoa. Whoa. >> Um he he was like his family and his his like pred or what do you call it? His um >> ancestors. >> Ancestors. They were upset because they
2:31 felt like it disrespected him. >> His ancestors were upset. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Not his descendants. >> It was a big story. >> Something like that. >> No, his his the the ghosts >> were very upset about it. So, um, but no, but that but then you know there are also Native American groups who didn't like it, too. It's not like there's but the but the interesting thing is that one guy like you know on the Redskins helmet. >> Yeah. >> Like that that guy the profile that's from a picture of him. >> Oh. >> Oh, it's a real photo. >> It's a real photo of him. You can look it up and stuff. >> Chief. >> So, does he does he make any royalties? >> I don't think so. I think it but it was just like an honor for his for his and yeah his people >> you know >> let me see if it's chief sitting >> I think I nailed it >> weird like deciding for him that that should be changed kind of deal huh >> yeah well yeah it's a bunch of white ladies deciding for him and >> is that was that some was it is cuz is
3:21 that what they called Native American is that white I don't really understand like red is that what like they call yellow and then like so they're red so they're not brown they're >> no they're considered red because brown would be like Mexican, >> not Indian. >> Purple. Purple is Indian. >> Start the car in the brown, too. But brown is more Brown is more Latin >> cuz see that was like a direct >> Yeah. Oh, that's pretty cool. >> One to one. And so Yeah. I never knew that. >> So his family was upset cuz they're like why you're disrespecting him actually by saying that this is like racist against him. Like it was like >> cuz that's straight up him. >> Yeah. And people are And by the way, people are rooting for that team. They're not going like ████ that team. You know what I mean? Unless they're Cowboys fans. >> Yeah. But then like who's who's the voice that's like, "Oh, that's very offensive. That's very >> white ladies at Lululemon." >> Yep. >> Yeah. >> Cool. Is if a native like or like an
4:13 Indian casino owned a sports team and they themed it like their warriors. >> They be tight. >> Yeah. Like the Chumash Warriors or some ████ like >> that's like the Aztecs um at San Diego State, I think. >> But are they owned by Aztecs? >> I don't think so. I think it's I think it's a white guy. >> Is that still like a thing where like let's say that he's cool with it but like other Native Americans get made fun of over it like >> kind of like Apoo like if if Apoo was based on a real guy who was cool with it but Indian people as a whole felt like they were being called Apoo all the ████ time. You know what I mean? Is that still all right? >> Yeah. Then where do you like draw the line or whatever? Right. >> Yeah. I I mean technically what like is it because Redskins is like kind of like a derogatory slang name or >> I think it was that. Yeah, I think that
5:03 you because you could argue that that's ha derogatory. >> Yeah. So like if Redskins specifically is derogatory then like conceptually all Native Americans might be like okay yeah that's derogatory and we can agree to that. But then if like the guy who's on there or like his family is being like that's our representation and our heritage and now because like somebody was upset you guys removed it changed completely now we're like not even a part of this that that's a completely different reason to be upset about >> but I also think there's a part of the story too and I might be botching it here but there's a part of the story where they called each other redskins is like a like a in a good way like >> so like the nword >> I don't know I don't know if it was like that for them because this was like hundreds of like many many years ago. >> What's up my red skin? >> But there's a story. >> Many moons ago. >> Many moons. Thank you. My bad. >> Many coyote how ago. >> There's some kind of story. There's some
5:53 kind of >> Is there a name like they could change it to? Cuz I know a lot of high schools when they they they used to have like Native American theme like they'll be like, "Oh, we're going to just be the Warriors or like something cuz they wanted to still embody it." Cuz I'm like, "What if it was like the Cincinnati Scalpers, >> you know, cuz they just >> sick, you know? Bastard. >> What about the glorious bastards? >> Not bad. >> I like those. >> Well, I mean, they did change it to commanders, but I >> No, it's got to be like Comanche. >> Oh ████ >> So, they're actual historical. >> Well, commanders is like uh from the naval stuff or whatever, right? >> Commandos. >> It's like a naval thing. >> Commando. So, it's like get the essence of what you're trying to say. Just >> stop making it racist, >> you know? >> Well, it's like Okay. So, like the Kansas City Chiefs, right? that that's a Native American inspired team. >> But it's the Chiefs. >> But then people at at the >> You can't have too many Chiefs in the
6:44 kitchen. >> Yeah. >> But people at the games will do this chant. They go like uh they do that in the games and white ladies were getting offended by that. >> We just get rid of the white. >> White ladies getting offended. >> We need to get rid of Can we just get rid of the white ladies? >> So yeah, back to the Portland Pandas. >> Yeah, >> that's that's your suggestion. I like the Portland Pandas and I think they should have a Panda Express in their game and then instead of like get your hot dog, it's get your egg roll and then they throw it at you. They launch egg rolls at you. >> Honestly, that's not a bad version of an idea. Like >> expensive. >> I I would assume if the I have no idea, but if the Portland Trailblazers like um stadium or arena right now doesn't have panda, I would be like put a panda in there. Yeah. Yeah. >> You guys been to the fine dining panda on Rose? That was right next to where he
7:35 lived. >> Yeah, cuz that's where they do like the um they do like the test products. >> Is it good? I've never been there. >> My family still eats there to this day. >> It's called Panda Inn, right? >> Panda in. Yeah, there's multiples, but there was one in Cypress close to him. >> That's probably where they were testing firecracker chicken. >> Bro, it's so nice, dude. >> I need to check it out, man. It's like all like >> and they got their fortune cookies are all like drizzled with white chocolate. So they're like >> but they don't mess with like orange chicken, right? Like it's the same one. >> But it's but it's like a gourmet every it's a gourmet version of everything at Pan Express. >> I mean their their recipe for orange chicken is like the >> it's perfect >> Coca-Cola recipe for Coke, you know? It's like that's their version. >> It's unbelievable. It's like cracker taste. So just imagine that at Panda in it's crispier and has more of a tang and it's like >> you know what's a bomb one that you can
8:25 make at home? The Trader Joe's one >> is it? >> Have you guys tried that one? That one >> Trader Mings. >> That orange chicken is pretty good. >> Really? But it's not the same as it >> like panda good. >> Not panda good, but it's pretty good for at home >> cuz panda's like I remember like it was basically every time you go to LAX Tom Bradley that would just be like I'm always going to get panda at that international. It's comfort food, too, man. It's so good. >> It was my excuse, you know? It's like I have to get panda. >> It's so good that I usually never get orange chicken cuz I'm always on a some sort of diet, right? But then, like, let's say we eat order for JK. Nick always gets orange chicken. And I'm like, let me have one. >> And as soon as I eat as soon as I eat one, I'm like, "F███, I should have ordered orange chicken." >> Yeah, cuz it's like the chicken teriyaki there is really good, too, though. >> It is actually really good. Yeah. >> Makes you ████ regret your order.
9:16 >> Yeah. Not getting orange chicken always hurts. Yeah. Chicken, honey, walnut, shrimp. >> Are we I think I know what we're doing for lunch. >> Broccoli beef is good. There's broccoli beef. That's my favorite. >> I always get broccoli beef. >> Yeah. I'll be doing the three item combo. Now I Now I even cut out the fried rice or straight all chowine. >> Do you get Beijing beef? That's pretty good, too. >> It's good. >> It's all right. >> Beijing beef. Okay. >> That's why he's 7 billion in. >> We all love his food. >> Yeah, dude. Dude, that's 80% of his school, you know. >> 80% of my school. >> I love orange chicken. >> But I like Dude, I love the college kids who act like like they'll eat orange chicken on a video and they're like, "Oh, what the hell is this? I'm too Asian for this." You remember all that? >> Yeah. >> And then they had they had Chinese seniors eat it and they're like, "This is good." >> Like neck shark type.
10:06 >> Yeah. And the neck shark kids are all holding up a fork of it going like, "What is this even? What do I do with it? >> Shut up, man. What do I >> It's like so gay. >> Yeah. >> Like just live action role playing for the camera. I love it. >> Hate that stuff. >> The best, dude. >> Dude, I'm I'm honestly surprised that the the Churns are like billionaires to just like this worldwide infamous orange. Panda's everywhere >> and it's not a franchise. I think I think it's >> they own every one of them. >> I think so. >> Everyone. How do they run that ████ Actually, that could make sense if that makes them like that much of like billionaire mogul on here. >> I think they cracked it because like you can go into Orange Chicken or you can go into Panda for Orange Chicken or whatever and it's just accessible. You see exactly how to do it and you're not intimidated. Like so like what I remember when I used to live in Ktown
10:57 going into like a Chinese restaurant and it's just like hella intimidating with all the menus and >> Yeah, the menu is messy as hell. Yeah, >> right. But and I know that's authentic and all that stuff, but I'm just saying like it they built this huge thing because they made it so easily accessible, approachable, >> and you see the food. >> You see it. >> Do you like those ones? Do you like those Chinese restaurants? You know, the ones that are just independent mom and pop, but the layout is similar to Panda Express, >> like they usually are slam ████ your plates and it's like this big and when they close it, you're like, "Bro, what the f███?" But then those are struggle meals, man. You could get like $10 and like eat like three meals for that. >> But it gets a little bit scary because those are tech technically like they tend to be less traffic. So that you know that food's kind of been stewing. >> Bart used to take me to one. He knew all of the struggle meals. >> He would go to one where the it was like
11:50 the Chinese Panda Express. >> It's delicious. >> Walk in and it's like $5 >> and it's like a big >> turtle shells >> food court, man. You got fried. You got all kinds of ████ And they stack your plate up and then there's like winter melon tea or something. >> And it comes with a soup. >> Yeah. Free soup. It was >> Yeah. It was like It's so ████ packed. The rice isn't even in the box. They give you another bowl of rice cuz this is all of your sides and a soup for $5. >> They pack it that >> they hook it up. They Yeah, they hook it up. >> But this was like some struggle meal ████ Like you you could get it for under 10 bucks and you could feed yourself for like a whole day with like three meals with it. >> Oh my god, that makes my chest hurt. Think about it. >> Let me just give you some uh dope stats real quick on uh the story of Panda Express if you guys aren't familiar. The
12:41 first one was opened in Pasadena, Panda in >> uh the second one, the the first Panda Express was open at the Glendo Galleria Mall. >> Wow. the first one. >> Eventually, it it grew so big that they now have 2,600 locations in 11 countries employing over 53,000 associates. Business remains family-owned. >> See, um since then, they've also created a charitable arm called Panda Cares, which has raised more than $415 million since 1999. >> Is that when they say, "Would you like to round up?" >> Maybe. >> I'm not sure. The organization has supported more than 16 million youth, granted more than 5,200 college scholarships, donated 1.1 million books, and served more than 2.1 million meals according to a 2024 report. Is PF Chains like a competitor or do they own?
13:31 >> No, they're more upscale or quote unquote. >> I I don't like PF chains that much. I don't like >> I never even been in it. >> It's not very good. >> It's not good. >> No. >> Okay. >> It's sodium city. I mean, it's already Sodium City, but PF James is sodium absolute city. >> Yeah, but you don't have to overpay for it. >> It's true. >> It seems like you only go there when someone wants to have a meeting. >> Yeah. >> A meeting place, huh? >> A guy you'd barely know is like, "We could just meet here." >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Now they're part owners of the Portland Pandas. >> Wow. >> Or Portland Pandas. That's crazy. Go for that map.
