0:00 no what that's tight and it has the tissue they took us [Music] seriously all right guys um so I was watching this mini documentary about it's on OTR food and history the documentary is called exploring Southeast Asia's most unappreciated Cuisine oh n was just watching that what does it l sh for was watching this you think it's laan food well cuz Uncle Roger was recently saying laan food is ████ I wish it was laan food okay just complete he says it's like the wannabe Thai food it's a ████ and then everyone got so mad you don't know ████ about ████ L food it's ████ so different but to be honest though after that here

0:50 we go it actually benefited La food because I started eating I went specifically to Lan restaurants to see the difference so it benefited L food because you went to a couple restaurants it's a great big honor for L it's a big big mve Big mve Y Jo takawa has tried it three restaurants in he loves it can't confirm at this I was convinced Stella reviews Uncle Roger you're wrong you liked it I love or I mean I already had it before but I had to have like but I had to have specific laan dishes to compare like they got some crispy rice they got this like soup that's like L and udon and I know they're going to hate me cuz they're like it's not on it's our own thing but like it's literally laan UD on it's got thick noodles it's ████ B so what do you think is the most unappreciated cuisine in Southeast Asia I don't know Southeast

1:41 Asian Cuisines I think are so good but it's not mainstream cuz like it's just recently that you see more Malaysian restaurants coming out that's true um people are venturing outside of Thai food and you know like yeah I think there's not enough of of like restaurants for people to try yeah you know what I never tried Guamanian food but that ain't Southeast Asian though that's not what is Guamanian it's Polynesian gu they got Guamanian barbecue oh how is that different what do they put on it some Guam sauce more can't beat them you can't stop this hit it with the Guam sauce well he's got deep cultural knowledge so um I was watching this video and it's I think it's called

2:32 chamaro oh oh that looks good it does look good but it's underappreciated okay what yell seen that before Filipino food all right you guys ready for this so this is in the middle of the documentary and then Steve just gets it in a trash can and throws it away it's about it's about 14 minutes in no one so much is despised despised that might be we can't tell this story without confronting that subject so it's Filipino food they're talking about how it's the most hated what no oh my God what no what that's tight has the tissue they took us

3:23 seriously aome they believe my God that's amazing that is amazing that's incredible that made my whole day after that clip it's nothing about white people ████ on Filipino food that made my whole day that is so ████ funny I like it's said trash in the text trash hey who would you like to than out there dude trolling to the Moon by the way trolling to the Moon we made it it's going to the Moon wow that's wild dude so I was at Christmas I was it Christmas and I was telling my father uh in-law about this bit about how I ████ hate Filipino food and ████ and he was crying he couldn't even breathe he was laughing so hard he couldn't even breathe Y show them this documentary dude show them this I know right he'll love it he'll love it I can't believe

4:14 they took it seriously they really took it seriously I can believe it took it Ser really no but when Steve said i' go to uh Filipino Buffet so I could load up the plate just to throw it away he ████ sold it D what a ████ just so I could throw it away I still think about that ████ today dude it's even weirder because they're they're using it as an element to support a narrative that I didn't even know existed honestly I didn't know that like most people hate Philip I think Steve started the narrative no can we go back to my ████ outfit how could you take this guy seriously and then cut to the guy with the nose bleed dude I have to explain I have to explain myself every time I get in and out of a uber car every time I go to my hotel I have to explain to myself this dude I mean they I like how you're the poster boy of a intolerant white guy I love it they jump off part two which is

5:05 called why does the world hate philippin the world hat using the image of Steve like in his freaking tracksuit or in his woot chain that's one of my track the short version is it's pretty the trash where it belongs but then it's followed with clips of people actually not liking it all white guys yeah all white dudes how can you not like it it's one of the easiest foods to Steve he hates it yeah I hate it real bad real bad he use this C too was it was it an actual stereotype like yeah yeah I never heard of that I didn't hear about that either I didn't that's why it's even funnier because I didn't know it was a thing and it we just played into it I honestly had I really had no idea I really think Steve C was the Catalyst for the momentum to build this discrimination against I made it okay people were a lot of white

5:55 people out there were like I don't know if I can say that yeah they didn't want to get canceled and they were like yo this savior right over here here could speak up for us I do feel like I hear I do hear this narrative with people that like don't really know that many Filipino folks that don't have like a close group of family friends you know I do I have heard people say like I hate Filipino food yeah definitely what is there to hate there's so many things in Philipino well it's usually it's usually something like I went to a a family and I'm like they had like one thing they didn't like and they're like oh Filipino food is a g i mean if you're eating honestly the more legit Filipino food gets the more intimidating it is but then like if when I went to Australia we went to like a like like just a normal like uh Food Fest area and there was tons of Filipino food more than here Australia is different though cuz they have like their influence on Southeast

6:46 uh Southeast Asian food is like way higher and they had the longest lines and it was just like chicken skewers beef skewers it's like yeah what is that dish that looks so good the thing in a skillet had a lemon like a half chopped lemon in there yeah the first thing you had the video Frozen on it when we that look like a be steak fried rice almost before they show part two yeah you probably ████ sitting here too loading this thing up the little s█████ didn't gr on your face you know it's going to show me in a sec that's why I was cracking up earlier cuz I saw him put that title in the thing and I was like that's you're talking about that thing yeah yeah yeah what is that oh no man that looks good that looks bomb you know what I haven't tried yet I ate a lot of Filipino food but I haven't tried the uh the spread where they put out the banana leaves and then you just have ████ barbecue yeah R just sit there and just ████ Feast like it's a crab boil I want to do that that does look really funion are really

7:37 yeah cuz after I found this video like then my algorithm started showing me other videos of people talking about the same thing how like but that's everything there's so many videos about how people hate all kinds of foods out there it's not like everyone knows Filipino foods sucks nobody talks about it with such poetry like talking about going to a buff buff aland loading up your PL just to dump it in the trash I don't think anybody talk they might be like it's a little salty or light on this but you're like I load up my whole ████ place so I dump it in the trash which is funny like the degree that he's saying it you would think someone would be smart enough to be like okay yeah that's this is stupid wild to me and then people are like dude and this guy's married to a Filipino bro Steve will say some wild ████ just because he's doing a bit but the comments are they always think he's they always think he's telling the that's that's Ryan's fault cuz he's always chopping out the context and just hitting the punch line but that's what

8:27 we want that's what we want we want people to like morons he knows exactly what I like yeah let's get more documentaries dude what else what other Nation actually in a documentary that's taught in um feminism courses and then the documentary is called tough guys 2 and everyone kept sending it to me in college like the sequel tough guys 2 yeah it's number two it's not one but it's called tough guys right and then they kept sending it to me I was like what the ████ is this basically they they have a u so their their their hypothesis or their position is that Asian-American men were adopting Black Culture to appear more tough and aggressive I'm like that statement is hella ████ racist to begin with cuz

9:17 you're saying that Hip Hop and Black Culture is aggressive age-old ████ racist ideal right and on top of that they're thinking that Asians are mimicking like black people rather than saying like they grew up in a black neighborhood or whatever but what they used to prove that point is I did a character in a called Asians acting black so I was pretending to be like a a wannabe like rapper so I was like speaking like that they took that fake character and they said see look at these Asians pretending to be black and at the end of that video I go I make a point right I'm just saying like yeah everyone thinks certain Asians are acting black but you guys are forgetting that we grow up in black neighborhoods too and that's where we learn English and I kind of dissect it and I'm just like that's ████ crazy so they

10:07 decided to cut out that portion to prove a point by using a parody character that's like using Matt TV and SNL to prove a legitimate point or Babylon b or onion that's so ████ crazy yeah but that's being show you gave him really good reference material though you know what I mean it's probably just like they just they just had better traction you know this is you're being lazy as ████ right but that's that's showed in schools so people are watching that in school funny funny I prefer that and I'm like that's ████ tough guys 2 we got to get this DVD bro can you sue can you sue for tough guys three like what's up you know they didn't make any money on tough guys too ████ out here I asked my lawyer to to to to get a a you know a whole like what do you call it like a copyright infringement but he said it it fell under fair use so even if it's used

10:59 incorrectly I think the only best way is maybe what we should do is take that material and dissect it and like ridicule it because like I I just can't believe they're teaching that in University let's ████ on Tough Guys University you're supposed to check your sources make sure it's credible Let's Just Produce tough guys 3 I'm in let just make it let's just get the rights to the title and just make it are you looking to be a more masculine male we kill this maybe let maybe somebody uh somebody in that production crew knew you from back in the day he goes oh he's not acting that guy's not acting that's so funny he's scary he's like that that's your mama I had to figure out who the ████ made this right it's some Canadian guy so I'm like he's looking at it from a Canadian lens he's probably like oh in Canada you have all these new Asian immigrants that are probably adop in Hip Hop so he sees it

11:49 from that lens he doesn't see it from like oh these kids grow up in America in different neighborhoods they're not acting a certain way you know what I mean maybe maybe he's an Asian in Canada who's ████ sick and tired of being called White adjacent oh so he's producing this ████ thing by by bringing and Bridging the Gap between Asians and blacks and I think I think that's why we should produce tough guys three we should we should carry on that mantle I think DRS the link dude tough guys three tough guys three I'm in is it tff please tell me it's tff no it's tough but the guy is g u i s it's like disguise yeah oh tough guys oh that's sick so cool oh my God yo stupid anon's hyp dude look how happy Anthony is I would actually like to debate this guy because disgu disguise yeah dis if you're

12:42 supposed to be like I don't know man I feel I feel like this guy doesn't have a backbone toate if you're if you're a professor right and then you have a you have this point you should be able to debate like what you know and and he clearly didn't he's from Canada his life already sucks I feel like he's missing the social aspect if he can't if read the Sati that I don't think he's going to ████ have it I don't think he's going to have it like how can you use satirical things as as proof to supporting your time bro that's all people do that's like ████ quoting a like a a porn video it's like look how people are having sex and it cuts to ████ your psychology Pap porn like what the it's like sometimes at jobs men use leverage in order to have sex with women and he's like hey so like um you know you late on your work uh we're going have to figure something out fure have to blow

13:33 me you're probably going to have to suck my dick and lick lick my butthole too oh no I guess I have to can you believe the guy just recorded and didn't help like what the ████ dude landlords are predatory I mean all we did was discover the hack in that industry that's all I yeah I haven't seen the whole documentary press the link and buo for the GoFundMe for tough guys 3 Let's Go y [Music] e
