0:50 video to this because it's so i don't know if you guys seen it but it's like oh now i know what uncle roger is i'll stay here the whole time i was like oh i don't we even covered him on jk news oh wow anthony wasn't here that day right i guess i just made that up i don't know if we actually did that video on jk news but i think we did see that's what we did mandela affect me man probably did yeah he doesn't need us it's fine so um so when you when you i mean your own garage like you you definitely put people's meals on blast yeah they get pretty ████ offended but don't you think they deserve it though yeah celebrity chefs you know it's time for someone to you know take them down a few pegs and nobody's gonna talk ████ about chefs because people in the food world they want to work with those chefs i'm not in the food world so

1:41 i'll burn that bridge before it's been built yeah are you actually like into pluto do you cook and do all that stuff i'm very into food most asians are yeah that's true then i cook i'm a decent home cook i don't cook as much as i should because i live by myself but some of the basic things that they were breaking i was just shocked yeah putting jam and rice putting tofu in rice but he just shreds the tofu with his hands jamie oliver and just wax tofu into the rice and he puts chili jam in it or something you know my mom puts ████ jelly in spaghetti oh oh god yeah it's a chicken strawberry jelly grape jelly isn't that like something like will ferrell does an elf i don't know bro did she mix it with the red sauce or something everything yeah but she swears by she thinks it's the ████ magic elixir but i don't think she loves you steve i know she doesn't i want to try it you never taste a great party so it sounds

2:32 like it was just making grape jelly spaghetti but you don't taste it but is it a dessert or like a no it's a spaghetti but she uses it as like a sweetener i don't know what it's for she swears by it because marinara sometimes tastes sweet so maybe she adds it in that it's like a filipino spaghetti they definitely have sugar in the marinara they use ketchup don't they yeah yeah sometimes yeah they use all kinds of weird sweet ████ in there my favorite restaurants to use ketchup uh so so when you're i mean have you heard from jamie oliver and he's not uh so when when i posted that jamie oliver video my agent sent that video to jaime's people and i heard back from his team saying that mixed reactions from the team mixed reactions yeah that's the most british way of calling someone a ████ really yeah mixed reactions wow are you british no no i'm malaysian malaysian but he lives there he lives there i live i live oh you live in london oh it's from london

3:22 london yeah i used to live here i used to live in america i went to northwestern chicago i lived here for five years and then moved to london for a woman and comedy you know comedy stuck around women didn't got it that's all right i'm gonna move back i want to move back here man ladies you're not here for us or you have other things going on [Laughter] nobody please tell me you didn't come all the way here just for that we would be offended if you did yeah i'd be like that dude i owe you so much for your plane ticket yeah no no no i'm i'm on tour right now okay work so yeah but by the time this comes out i would have left l.a already got it i'm touring all the rest of this year so if you find me on socials you'll see my tour dates what do you do on tour stand up word man yeah uncle roger is my opener okay so i start the show as uncle roger

6:42 you know it's kind of symbolic in a way right come in residency it tastes better is it harder to travel as a malaysian because my malaysian friends whenever they came here they had to do interviews they had to do all these things well here is easy for me now i have an o1 the artist visa for the u.s they call it alien of extraordinary ability really but uh it's easy for me to come in come in here now do they make you do a trick or something thankfully no okay what's your superpower when you get to the border or they just like make me laugh yeah they they used to they used to in the 01 they let me through but when i'm here on a visitor visitor visa they will ask what do you do where do you live all these questions and i've gotten detained before and they say it's random right but you never see any white people in that room you know

17:41 bit more leeway but there's certain countries like when on this tour we're trying to book dubai and my twitter manager is like uh you can't curse there i'm like that's no let's not book it i can't be bothered you know you have to like change it you can't be in the moment because sometimes you you and use the f word to enhance certain jokes right and then you have to remember to not curse and if you curse you get fined i don't know maybe you get fired maybe there's some guy just standing in the back of the room looking at you i don't know what's gonna happen so i just let's just skip that country me and joe played at some churches before and that was pretty interesting that just sounds like an oxymoron right there what is it comedy at a church yeah because they're like you can't say bad words you can't say whatever and then we just kind of made it a game around because then once you have that and you lower the ceiling then words like butt is all of a sudden funny uh it's just like because now it's like you

18:31 just say you are you like us you know like you just reference something else like burrito or something instead of saying penis and oh they go crazy is the guy just lifting off foods the thing between your legs you know the burrito oh you're healed that's like a good show though yeah i would try to watch that yeah but dubai sounds different because when they say like no bad words they really mean it you go to jail right right right well you got to be rich rich right because i know people who go to dubai all the time and but they're rich rich and they go to whatever the ████ they want they poop on girls they poop they poop on models bro ig models though i fly them out and they poop on them they really like it oh it's called human fecal matter according to johnny depp oh there it is

19:21 what do you think about meghan markle's huh she's ruining that whole thing i know i think i think the queen is like when she complained of being racist i'm like do you not expect that they're like all white british people you know like i mean the queen should be a little bit racist that's the whole point that represents if the queen was woke that that won't work imagine if the queen had purple hair one day just came out and been like oh yeah i am now a non-binary woman neither queen nor king just theme yeah just your highness yeah i'm your lowness now what do you think of nando's nando's ah ████ man ████ really i love nando's and they overcook that chicken okay all right fair enough you know it is what it is hey what's your guilty

20:11 pleasure you know what i'm saying like you go to your sneaker panda panda express yeah you just need a little bit like american chinese food dude you know what i like i like um goldberg you know lucky charms like cereal oh it's pretty good yeah it's pretty solid isn't it but it's my children for children though we eat it too have you ever just been caught eating chicken nuggets or something and they're like uncle roger hey in the uk you drive home from a show sometimes that's the only thing that's open chicken nuggets chicken selects at mcdonald's you know that you guys still have chicken selects they discontinued out here don't they got the curry sauce for the nuggets in london though yeah they don't do them here anymore i think most people here can't really say that yeah yeah nuggets nuggets yeah nuggets it's hard yeah can i get the big just like the big nuggets
