    Comedy is best when it's relatable. The reason you guys get better reactions from Asian audiences is because it is relatable. There are percentages that come from mixed families or know someone or in some other way had contact with the personalities your humor/jokes/skits are drawn from. My mom was from Taiwan and I spent most of my life growing up in Hawaii. I find it difficult to breathe sometimes when you guys throw that one line out or describe something that hits the nail on the head. Wooden spoon beatings or "boomerang" slipper throwing or whatever it is at that moment. Relatability is the key and so you will always have that special connection with Asian audiences.

    In class while I was taking attendance, one of the kids yells out, "Emotional damage!" I let him know that I thought Steven He was hilarious. West Indian parents hand out the same verbal abuse and high expectations, so gentlemen we are kindred spirits.

    awesome podcast guys! Collab that needed to happen.
    26:26 Accurate about being Asian content creator but also expanding beyond the realm with your capabilities. a long time OG channel called "Wong Fu productions" come to mind and they are always pushing the idea about Asian Americans getting more roles in Hollywood but that's not the point. it's about recognition past the boundaries of just landing roles. that's why you both have blown up in the past couple years versus them.
    thank you guys for being you and keep up the good work.
