0:00 [Music] So, I was having this conversation with Mike Estray and it's kind of interesting. Shout out Mike. >> Shout out Mike. No, Mike's song. >> Mike Wrong. >> Um, and he was like, "Dude, right now Korea's kind of having like their moment, right? When we think about things like pop culture, music, movies, drama shows, >> birth rate. >> They've been having their moment for like the past decade. I feel like >> Yeah. And previously, right, remember when like Japan had their moment >> in the '8s? Yeah. They were crushing it. >> Video games like Yeah. like technology >> innovation. Yeah. >> Or even like there was moments where even like uh Latin America with music when the era of like Shakira, Ricky Martin, Enrique Glacius. >> Oh yeah.
0:50 >> Different era like eras or or countries or regions have like kind of their their moment. >> Yeah. >> Who do you guys predict might be next? Post Korea >> China for sure. >> You think so? Like on a global scale? >> On an organic level? >> Yeah. >> What do you mean? >> You think we're we're unorganic >> we could predict. >> Oh, >> I think from a cultural perspective. >> Oh, cultural. So, not from a ████ gadgets perspective. >> Yeah. Because even well Japan even though they were doing like tech like video games and stuff that was a cultural change for the way we like understood everything. >> Anime, video games, all that. >> Absolutely. Yeah, that is true. >> That's true. No, China's culture is kind of whack. >> They don't got ████ flavor as ████
1:41 Subin would say. >> Flavor. >> Yeah. >> Damn. >> The next cultural. >> I have no idea. >> Maybe Indian. Oh, hey, you know what? I'm I would agree with that. >> Okay. >> I think there needs to be something because there's been a whole lot of >> not great >> like social media has been feeding a lot of India's slander street food, those massages, >> you know what I mean? Like they need an initiative to push back and I think and India ████ is dope. Like Indian movies are ████ sick. You know what would be really dope if um like a food group came and created some sort of fast food version of Indian food like Jollibee or Panda Express, you know? That way it's like >> it's more accessible. >> Yeah. >> Cuz right now when you think of like
2:31 Indian food, you always got to like go somewhere, you know, or into some random like mom and pop plaza or something. But if they can get like a Chipotle version of Indian food, that would be tight. A lot of damage has been done. I think I feel like American culturally where they make fun of Indian food a ton. Even before like even the early 2000s, like even in an Anchor man when they're like it smells like a diaper filled with Indian food like the stereotype that the food is not good or it's bad. So yeah, I could see a recovery being in the cards. >> I think culturally India has a lot to offer. >> India definitely has a lot to offer. least favorite. >> But the comeback has got to be very very >> They're honestly being dumped on royally right now >> cuz it's even things like um AI. Have you guys seen those random AI clips that are made? >> The racist ones.
3:21 >> Yeah, the really racist ones. And the things that are said, they're so base level racist. >> It's it's like it's like allergic to a shower type stuff, you know? And you're like, "Oh man." That's why I feel like you know the whole like uh issue with Apoo that that one dude like got Apoo cancelled that is freaking nothing. What are you talking about? >> From Sims. >> Yeah. From way back. So like this one there it was called the problem with Apoo. It was this one like guy like uh created this like kind of like a film about it and how like he he experienced bullying because of the character Apoo. It gave Americans something to imitate when they want to make fun of Indians. And then so like it's funny to us and harmless to us and Simpsons makes fun of everyone but for him his experience was that it ████ his life like because it kind of made him the butt of jokes or some ████ like that. And so they ended up uh making the character of aud he
4:14 wasn't allowed to be uh played by a non-Indian anymore. They just couldn't find anyone to replace him. So they just took him out like he just wasn't in episodes. I don't know if they put him back in yet or if they figured something out because I don't watch anymore. But I feel like that problem culturally was sort of like that that's nothing compared to the the slander they're experiencing now with like the you know the phrase delete India. It's like in every video of every India thing you can find on IG the comments someone saying delete India delete India I hate India. >> My feed for a minute was all India. >> That's crazy. >> My feed's not like that at all. Mine's like that because I don't know like I like Indian ████ so it gives me both sides and then I just get flooded with Indian hate and Indian like it it really is like I see it as >> so much hate >> I think because the culture has so much stuff to pick on like the um like the
5:05 bobs in vagine that's an Indian joke you know like the origin >> let me see your bobs in vagine >> because you know like when like when like uh sleazy India guys get internet and they don't even know how to communicate with people they comment on women's photos like, >> "Oh, >> oh, goddess, give me your Yeah. Show me ████ Show me." Like, there's just no tact, but it's like, >> you know, I see. >> And so, Bobs and Vagene was born a joke born from that because they would they would be trying to say, "Show me your boobs and vagina." >> Oh, I see. >> Don't spell it right. So, that there's just so many new memes for like the youth that I feel like making fun of India became like too easy right now. So, I could see them having some kind of like, oh, we need to like >> like own it or >> Yeah. or just like turn it around somehow because it's like becoming kind of trendy which sucks but you know >> it's ironic in the sense that all the pe
5:57 like the social media platforms that people are dunking on Indians are are like run by Indians. >> Yeah. Yeah. And and the and the fact that like like the food videos of like making fun of Indian street food and now the dude has his foot in the stew like you know like >> or not funny but interesting. I just went to India. Yeah. >> Uh went to New Delhi. Uh had a great time. I love the Indian culture. Uh food is as long as you're eating in what you know is a safe place and you avoid the ice, >> everything is great. >> Cuz ice gives you diarrhea. >> Ice can >> cuz the water you have to drink bottle water everywhere. >> Bottle water. Yeah. It's preferred. Um, and then I'm like, "Yo, like how do you guys feel about like the some of the social media about like Indian stuff that's going on? Like Instagram stuff?"
6:47 >> They're like, "What are you talking about?" >> No way. >> I swear. >> No way. >> And I was like, "Have you seen like the Indian street food videos that are kind of like >> trending on social doesn't even like push it to them?" >> And they're like, "No, what are you talking about?" And then I showed and I was like, I'm just letting you know these are like extremely viral. >> This is how America views India >> in Western culture, dude. Yeah, bro. For real. Wait, what the >> And and my home girl was like, "Oh my god, no, that's not what Yeah, exactly." Yeah. Right. And then I was like, "Okay, just curious, does this happen somewhere in India?" She's like, "Well, probably yes." But I was like, "Well, that's 100% of what everybody's assuming happens everywhere." >> Like the video of all the Indian guys in
7:38 the pool and the pool's like brown. You never saw that? >> No. >> Oh, dude. There's like It's just one after the other. And that's why like Wow, they're not seeing that. That's That's kind of nice. >> I'm glad they're not. >> Yeah, >> cuz the comments are vicious. >> Yeah. So, it's it's quite interesting. Well, I'm also pretty sure that well, we probably have so much hate for ourselves and so much >> Yeah, we're doing it to ourselves already, >> but like I can imagine what the algorithm in other countries about America >> could be. There's a shooting or a street takeover every corner. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah, for sure. And it's fair, I think. But then for them, it's like they got such a big industry of like really great ████ like but you got to go to it right now. It's not coming to you. Like you got to like dig and be like, "Oh, that's a like RR was a ████
8:28 masterpiece. >> Great. >> I can't live without that movie." >> I talked about RR and they were like, "That's not real Bollywood. >> Of course it's not." >> And so like, "You got to see blah blah." And I was like, "Dude, but RR was dope." Well, that's that's the cool thing is every Indian person is like legit Indian. If you tell them you like that, they have 10 more for you to watch that are also good. Oh my god. There's one called Push Pa. >> Push on it. on it, bro. >> Indian culture is actually freaking tight. >> Their weddings, >> but they're Yeah. >> Beautiful. >> Oh my god. Yes. >> Their weddings are incredible. >> The rich ones. >> I think they're due for a bounce back, too, because also right now people be hating on them hard in Canada. >> Why? Aren't Canadians the nice ones? >> Hard, bro. You dude, it's tough.
9:18 >> Why? Why would Canada hate on so hard? >> There's so many of them in like Vancouver and uh >> is that like the Costco video or something? >> It's just the culture clash. It's the culture clash of like if you took a Nebraska person to Costco Alhamra, they were they're going to leave the store hating Chinese people. You know what I mean? Like it's just the culture. >> Chinese people at Costco now. >> Exactly. And I'm sure there's Indian people that don't like other Indian people. But the thing is the the misconception is that they're taking the bad and you know blanketing blanketing all of them like I hate them all because of the you know also the same thing what happened with Vancouver with prices that when Chinese came in the natives couldn't afford living in certain areas anymore. Yeah, it's going to happen with all mass migration but for dude Canadians are like pissed about India and it's getting it's getting tough man.
10:08 One of the one of the songs that Tao likes to sing when he gets excited is love like, "Hey, you want to go get some donuts?" Like, "What the f███?" >> I I I really do love love what they do. Like entertainment wise, I've I've always like the um the movie that I'm working on, they were surprised at how much ████ I already knew about like some of their artists from back in the day cuz I used to watch uh unironically I used to watch Indian music videos during like early YouTube >> and I knew all those guys like Prau Diva. I love Prau Divas like the India Michael Jackson. All that ████ was dope to me. >> So tight the goat of uh Indian Bollywood that one dude. Oh. Uh, you're talking about um >> Shah Ruk Shah Ruk Khan. >> Yeah, Shah Ruk Khan. >> Shah Rukh Khan is is the god dog.
10:59 >> Yeah, he's like a god. >> He's like he's like the Tom Cruz of India or like the Robert Redford. No. Or like a >> Well, he's like a I don't even know if we have a Shah Ruk Khan true. >> He doesn't uh No offense to And please don't hate me, but he's not and I think they know. He's not necessarily like the most goodlooking. He's just so charismatic. >> Charisma off the charts, dude. Yeah, >> that like like any woman in India will swoon and faint for that. >> Charisma goes a long way. >> Yeah, he's got the OG RZ. >> He has this like shirt button down here like that. >> That's charisma, >> bro. Shah Ruk Khan pro. I don't think there's a high like that's a hard picture. >> We definitely don't have an We don't even have an equivalent here in America. >> We don't have anyone with that much risk. >> No, I really believe we don't because the way he's treated in India, we don't treat anyone like that here without
