Nick Nick will like to shout out people that do good things for the Asian community globally. And today we're spotlighting Oliver Phommavanh. Oliver Phommavanh. Nick is a Asian supremacist. >> Oh wait, is this a trap? Are you setting me up for a trap? >> he actually so this dude is an author. He writes kids books and it was like a thing where

0:51 he wanted Tyriffic. He wanted other like Asian kids around the world to feel more comfortable with their heritage. And he made >> he look like a a leader of the math club in 2005? >> [laughter] >> He so he made this book called Tyriffic. Which you know it was like for Australian Asian kids to feel you know proud about their heritage. >> Dude, he's setting us up, dude. Don't don't buy anything. Don't buy anything this guy says. >> He looks like he listens to ATB all day. >> You see No, there's it just says helping Asian Aussies love their heritage. What's the deal? You're not setting us up? >> Setting you up for what? The Asian Excellence Hour. Cuz I feel like you would do this to me. You would be like oh, let's support this guy. He's so good and then we find out he's in the files. >> [laughter] >> Is that what you're doing to me? >> in the files. >> Okay, he's not in the files. >> He is a recipient of the Nick Dunn Asian Excellence Award, all right? >> That's not a real thing. The most

1:42 non-Asian name possible to have [laughter] an award. Can I say something but I think people would call me Asian hater? Oh, why? >> I think when people do things for the Asian or whatever, I think it's gay. He's already [laughter] like the whole Asian diaspora. >> You did that ████ for the Asian. >> Yeah, you did that. >> you don't parade [clears throat] around doing it. Oh. You know what? He hit him. Like It's in your heart. >> That's the Asian way. People like little Asian kids that want to be good at basketball, they just have a poster of like Kobe or LeBron, like someone that just Jaylen that did a good job, right? >> Japanese cat that's ████ crazy. Yuki, he's sick, bro. >> not people don't go like, oh, I wanted to do this because this other person made it more palatable to be Asian or whatever. It's too I I get what you're saying. It's cringe cuz it's too in your face. >> Yeah. We're giving him this award and now you're ████ all over the award. I

2:32 agree. I think I think the best route to being proud of yourself is to accomplish something good and not just go, oh, I'm Asian, I'm proud of that. Like that's nothing. Be proud of something you did, please. You you you made a mark because of your skills were great. >> Here's another one he did called What About Tao. So he did a lot of like, you know, things that were geared Maybe because it's an early age for these kids and they're not at that point yet where they're accomplishing anything. Maybe it's good to just have a baseline of like >> You're learning about culture. >> Cuz I hear in Australia, you know, it's It's ████ online. >> [laughter] >> It's hard growing up Asian out there. No way. There's a hell of Asians out there, dude. >> No, but I feel like okay, anytime Australians get in trouble for being racist, like virally, you know, like where someone has like a like someone's on a bus and they're getting mad at somebody, it's always against an Asian person. >> But then, you know what? Also though That's international. In other countries of the world, Asians, the term Asians

3:24 also includes like Arabs and stuff to to be fair. Like in the UK, when they say Asian grooming gangs, that's not a bunch of Vietnamese guys. >> They call they call East Asians Orientals. So then when they say when they say Asian, they're talking about Southeast or they're talking about Indian. Yeah, it's hard to say like when people are racist, they're not very clear all the time. Now but then like >> I wish they would be. In Australia though, I feel like the Asians there don't feel like they've been there long enough and that's their home. So like they act like they get treated like foreigners where like in the states it's like ████ some of our family's been here longer than your white ass. So it's different. It's like so in Australia this would be more of a need than maybe in America. A racist based off animals so there's no confusion. That's the camel people and you go oh camel people. Yeah like call

6:47 in. >> [screaming] [laughter] >> I thought he was a good guy. You tricked me. You played the long con, dude. >> happened? Uh yeah, so apparently he was caught Wait, that guy with that face? Right there? Sending sexually explicit messages. So, what he was doing was he would he would go around and, you know, he would market his book to kids, and then kids would send him messages like and then he would start to groom them and develop like a sexual relationship with them. He would get them to send nudes. >> are like, "You changed my life." He goes, "I'm going to ████ you." >> Horrible. Yeah, so he apparently he got caught eventually because uh I guess when they were investigating it, an officer an officer posed as a kid and then was able to get all that uh Uh

7:37 I don't know. As Nick Dun, I would like to retract the award. The Asian Excellence Award, I'd like to retract that from Oliver Pum Von. >> But like But like okay, so I'm the biggest Michael Jackson supporter in the world, right? But I I was thinking about this. If it was true, his music was so ████ good and it helped so many people out that I was just like, maybe he could have a kid or two. And then in this case, right? He just wasn't good enough. Maybe he could have a kid or two. >> [laughter] >> If his talent was really good and he ████ he changed everybody's lives. He made me feel like I belong as an Asian, you know? Then maybe he can have a kid or two. Maybe. Maybe? [laughter] Yeah. Or maybe a couple maybe a couple ugly ones.

8:28 >> [laughter] >> ████ >> He also he played guilty to it, so we know that >> Let's go play the game again. Let's just be bad. >> he plead guilty like he was probably Yeah, I got some kids, you know what I'm saying? >> [laughter] >> He might be He might be He might be ████ ████ like that. >> Oh my god. He kind of looks a little funny right there. >> Burn it, wood chopper, go to hell. Burn [laughter] it. I hate to say that like I I don't know if I'm talented, but I feel like I can tell. Like He looks like >> There's a look and I see it. And I don't know if I'm like I've watched too many videos of To Catch a Predator. And but the other thing though too like in the other pictures you showed, he looked very, you know, he looked normal. But in this picture, it looked like you he's on Roblox, if you know what I mean. >> want to be like an ████ but like I feel like there's a mild connection between child predators and like Asperger's. Because when you look at

9:19 like >> Hey hey hey, I got a little bit Asperger's. Hey [laughter] hey hey hey hey. Don't you dare, dude. There's something there that like, you know when you look at the um like To Catch a Predator, all the guys that they're catching, they they're they're off. Yeah, they're just like kind of like communicatively uh they're They're a deficit where they don't >> They're a little slow. They can't, yeah. They can't read the room. >> So, if they're like mentally a 7-year-old, and they're just going to try to get with 7-year-olds. Well, because like a big >> It It makes weird logical sense, yeah. Cuz it There's a big part of like let's just call it the evil Asperger's, not the good one, right? Let's say that if you have evil Asperger's, then you really can't put yourself in the shoes of another person in that way. So, maybe you don't feel like their victimhood is like worth anything to you. Mhm. Cuz they're just MPCs, basically. Got it. Because you you don't You can't even think that far. Like I don't know. That's just me, but that fool That looks

10:09 like the type, bro. Yeah. Cuz it Yeah, you're I I know exactly what you mean. Like they can't think They can't see the future a little bit. >> Yeah, there's something missing. If I put my PDF hat on, though, I don't think I I don't think they're even that self-aware. Yeah. I think they just see like that type, and it triggers something in them because maybe they are mentally stuck at that age. But also, the horniness makes guys do ████ crazy nonsense. >> But like how premeditated >> he goes, "I like kids, so I'm going to do a lot of kid stuff to bring them around me." Yeah. Or it could be the Yeah, that's crazy. >> Or he developed it as he's at all these meet and greets. He's like, "Yo, I like kids, I think." >> Or he could be like, "Oh, I have a talent for writing these books." And then, you know, when you start getting love from your fan base, they're like, "Oh ████ these are the only people that's ever adored me like this." >> Groupies. ████ dude. It sucks, too, because it This guy's married, isn't he?

11:00 He had a ring on his finger. All right, what do you think came first, cuz you bring up a good point, right? Do you think he was just doing this as an author, and then all of a sudden, he developed a taste? Or he premeditated it because he's always wanted He's like, "How do I get around more kids and more kids?" Maybe I'm a bigot for this, but I don't think you develop that taste. I think you're just ████ up. I think he's just ████ up. You know, like I don't think you develop it where you're like, you know, like now you like black coffee. It's like you're just Or it becomes like you were abused as a kid, and then you like you start doing the same behaviors that, you know, were done to you. >> he was ████ up. He knew it was wrong, kept suppressing it. On on the other side, you know, we're all talking about humans are nuanced and stuff, he has a really awesome writing ability. And then, as he's like getting better and better at writing, now ████ spearmint rhino of kids edition is getting closer and closer to him. He's like, "Oh, ████

11:51 I can't contain myself." And then he ████ let himself out. >> do you have to be at writing though to write kids books for Asian Australians? Dude, that was his fetish, too. He ████ targeted He goes, "I like them Asians." >> [laughter] >> It's It's sad because like in in the reported details, too, that like the girls that he was communicating with were like confiding in him about like certain things that were like bad in their lives. So, it was like an emotional >> So, they have nowhere else to run to except this ████ >> might have been happening to them at home, too. I don't know. And then he got them to ████ send nudes. And then there's a video of him jerking it to a kid. Oh my god. >> Like in a video chat. So, he He's like He's absolute scum, this guy, you know. Brother. And he shouldn't have gotten that award, in my opinion, I think. >> Mr. Rogers Who gave him the award? >> Nick Dun.
