As if he just read out my review!
That’s made my day!!
I’m glad the Sweet little Asian women comment made him laugh😂
I’m also regretting my decision not to sign off my review as Uncle Ben J haiyaa
I'm going to Birmingham for the same reason.
Proud BTS Army and Orange Army 😂 🙌
@@NettiesWorld4 I’m in doubt to go to Haarlem because it’s 1,5h away and I would probably need a hotel and when the tickets are cheap enough, the hotel will add to it. It could be a nice experience though, visiting Haarlem during the day, eat diner and go watch the show, go to hotel, eat breakfast … OK I’m sold lol
Omg Ben!!!
I'm a disabled 62 year old and I try and be spontaneous now and again, I tried putting my leg up on the chair, heard something crack, I think I need another hip replacement. Happy Chinese New Year everyone !!
Meh, I wish you good recovery!
Oh no! Happy New Year and New hip
Happy New Year!
bro u good? ._.
get better soon!
The fact is Chinese New Year is based on lunisolar calendar which is called agricultural calendar in China, NOT lunar calendar. If the Korean or Vietnamese want to make their new year base on lunar calendar, then they will celebrate their new year in summer after 2 decades.
Just like kids having bad relation with parents, when you ask them about their "family tradition", they alwasy say it's their "own tradition" not "family tradition".
Uncle Roger’s position is literally almost all Asian Dads in front of the TV 😂
It's my habit to put leg on chair while sitting. At this point I can't stop doing that 😂
I put it up on a table. Make me feel like Supreme Leader Kim
@@jhon6378 Same! I thought I am the only weirdo doing that
I for some reason do the folded leg sitting on a chair. Am i the only person who does that?
@@ayeshaakter9340 nope
Thanks Nigel / Uncle Roger for talking about sensitive subject. Also thank you for explaining Chinese New Year to the western world. A HongKonger staying in Singapore.
香港人用英文说是 hongkonger ，原来如此，学废了（没有挑衅的意思）
Wow. Nearly choked on my breakfast while watching this episode, this morning. Having my comment at the start of it was both a huge joy and a bit embarrassing. But mostly a joy. Lol. Loved your comments and insight and I agree with producer Matt that my kids enjoy a wide range of foods.
I hope you comment on the rest of my comment about your previous podcast.
See you in Birmingham
This is brilliant😂
Do your kids have this problem Nigel described or are they fair skin?
"Have you ever tried, NOT CARING???"🤣🤣😂😂 That's my motto!
We like watching Matt squirm uncomfortably and laughing awkwardly at your comments trying to not get cancelled lol.
HAHA. exactly my thought
Like Evelin?
Keep being fearless and say whatever you want!! Too many comics play it safe. Your comedy is so refreshing.
Loving the podcast so far! Extremely relatable content for a Singaporean living in New York. Can't wait for the NYC show!
I’m happy to see Uncle Roger on the podcast! Such fun 👏🏽
Ayyy he back again! This was such an enjoyable CNY episode
In Bengali, the term is ‘Maachher Matha’ (Head of a Fish) which is quite a delicacy. So, I’m happy that Uncle Roger is trying to promote eating the head of a fish in the UK. 👏🏽
Agreed. Maachher Matha is considered auspicious even, like during the wedding, maaccher matha is gifted to the bride and groom by the either families (tattya) to celebrate the wedding.
As a bangladeshi macher matha tastes fucking amazing
Yes sirrrr
Bengali representation. Lesgo
i am loving this podcast... so fun to catch up on this Nigel..
G'day from New Zealand ❤️
Congratulations on 8/10 Cat's does Countdown 👏
"its horrible but its funny" is literally just this entire podcast
Really like these podcasts, I can listen while driving now 🤣
If I lived in London I would totally go out for Chinese NewYear, it sounds so cool :D
I commend you for being willing to talk about literally anything
I had 0 issues with the seeing the Uncle Roger video this week. Thanks
Matt is an audience surrogate xD. With matt feels more like a conversation, feels more natural than just Nigel monologing.
I celebrated CNY with my Asian friends had a wonderful time ✌
Happy Chinese New Year🎊 to Uncle Roger& Nephew Nigel
Please update us when you get a response from Nigella about the MSG. I hope she’ll love it 🔥
Matt evens you out! Makes for an entertaining conversation.
You hit 5 mil! 👌✌🏽
Im glad you go for a joke dude, your stand-up chops are solid!
Chinese New Year is fireworks, drunkeness, amazing food, waking up hungover and being stormed by people dressed like a dragon and getting handed money, the CNY PR team has their job handed on a plate for them. I don't understand how it's not any more popular.
You’re right about Chinese New Year. My mom tries to make it special but work and school team project is like DEADLINES!! And I’m like 🙃 as my phone keeps blowing up with messages and trying to do heavy school work after a feast is not fun
The reusing of bags and such is a total mood. It’s a common phenomenon in the US for the not wealthy to save plastic food containers to use as salad bowls and such. You can bring it up to anyone and their grandma probably has them.
Southerners have Country Crock, Midwesterners have Cool Whip!
LOL! My "sustainable" method is the fish head goes into the garden, nutrients for spring and summer vegetables. Love the podcast! Nigel *Blessed be and stay well!*
The blocked video is back up. I watched it ten mins ago. It was good.
Nigel Ng/Uncle Roger, I am happy to inform you that your video reviewing Matty Matheson's butter chicken is back up on CZcams! 😁
I will buy an orange polo if it says Uncle Roger’s Chicken Feet Army! 🤣
Looking good Nigel!!
Halloween in Japan is also CRAZY!! Chinese new year is awesome! I liked your review of the butter chicken...HILARIOUS
you mean lunar new year
@@artturisiikanen3843 Emm Chinese New Year is correct man nothing wrong with it tho
I've been in China for about 8 years, not Asian (Chilean) and maaaaaaan just felt so related to EVERYTHING ASIAN thing you said. I need the country to give me a green card, prize, or whatever for staying so long and ACTUALLY printed their culture in me: the squat, the leg (I'm literally watching you on the floor with the...well, you know XD old emoji face of laughing), the MSG, CYN, spices, hongbao, gambling ( I really thought Mahjong was a simple game, that really caught me up), and everything FRESH, man....pick up the fish from the fish tank, not in the freezer without skin and clean... but I'm sad because maybe you can't come here because... well, rules to follow. I hope I can see you in one of your shows. Keep it up! Add oil! (加油！).
and Halloween, everyone tries to keep it up cute, but I do REALLY do the scary makeup things to show it off, it scares the hell of out them but because I work in a kindergarten, well I keep them with cultures related to Mexico, the Coco movie, and they will be fine to swallow and be a little scarier every year.
兄弟，其实中国有一句话，叫＂水能载舟，亦能覆舟＂，麻将义处确实很多，但是不要赌博就行，不然就失去了实际意义（没有恶意挑衅的意思）
@@user-cg9yg1rj8o 是的，你说的对，但我在一些晚餐邀请中玩过麻将了，但涉及一些钱。当然，没有人想以这种方式看待它，每个人都想尊重传统，但增加一点乐趣并不坏。此外，它总是在家庭亲戚之间播放。而且玩起来真的很有趣。还打牌，扔在桌子上，遵循模式，我学到了很多。 (不好意思，我的中文写作没有那么好，希望你能理解)。

@@user-cg9yg1rj8o come on!!! Money is money 😂😂😂 don’t make it so special, and yes , red pockets but at the end is money. 😁😁😁🧧🧧🧧虎年大吉！发大财啦！
I'm glad Nigel hired Matt, it's better that he has something to bounce off with. Also Matt's reactions is basically my reactions hahahaha
Every time I watch Uncle Roger’s food review weejio, I can’t help myself for sitting with my right leg on the chair just like him. lol
Nephew Nigel is much nicer to listen to when there's someone to 'rein in' his crazy sh.t 😂
Happy New Year Nigel!! Wish from MY hope you don't so lonely there arr hahahaha
Also in Somalia 🇸🇴 we call all middle-aged people uncle or auntie
We used to eat the chicken legs as well and for the same reason, we were poor. God blessed the poor with the best flavours. :)
Speaking of Fish Heads, you should come to Cornwall and try StarGazy Pie ;)
For people that don't know the pie is served to celebrate the bravery of Tom Bawcock, a local fisherman in the 16th century who went out in a storm to catch food for the starving villagers.
I feel you on the spending holiday in a country that doesnt celebrate it topic. when I was living in Japan, the first thanksgiving I got really depressed and I went to the hardrock cafe to have thanksgiving dinner, and they were out of stuffing....
every polo should have a number, Haiya!
If anyone slags off Nigel, uncle Roger or Producer Matt … ORANGE ARMY WILL GET YOU 👀 😂
Actually, genetics vary a bit depending on which part of the world you come from, but I get your point.
Also, I just grew up in a different country and I have problem with identity - and I'm not even mixed race. So again, I get what you're saying.
Let's go new wejio
About Halloween, he has a point. I lived in Tokyo for a long time and halloween was always lit. I came back to Canada and it was lame af if you’re not a small child
Didn't do any holiday celebrations as my dad is a JW. Was too late for me to do any when my parents broke up. Lived in Japan for over ten years and the same thing. Just ate KFC. Hubby did it for the kids but I have never bought them a prezzie as I pay for having experience holidays. He does it. Last year I made a Xmas dinner Japanese style as the kids are older and only my mom could come round.
It has always been just another day for me.
Haiyaa, I saw the Matty video before it was pulled.
Why you no come to south Florida?
Lmao I'm watching this with both my legs up on sofa like that 🤣
I love your videos Uncle Roger and I like it when you talk about MSG its so funny 😆 you should go to MSG Factory lol
One of my white friends was complaining at school that Aisan kids got good food for lunch. So lunch box moment for them.
Have always made my kids a lunchbox when they had their school trips and when they went to Japanese school. I now make them die my son, every day as school dinners are not enough for him as he is now a teenager.
Used to hate making them as there was far too much competition, but now Infeel at peace in the mornings when I make them.
Whole fish head? Thats nothing. Here in Norway we have a dish called "smalahove", its a whole sheep head (I think some places serves a half head, its not something you can go out an get at any restaurant)
Re: sheep heads, same thing in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries.
34:23 Auntie Helen: No. You did not take care of them. Think of your children Uncle Roger.
I'm half black and half white (actually a little more white according to a DNA test) and I actually really find it hard to fit in still, as a 44 year old woman. I was living in a small town in Maryland and I was the only person of (any) color at my job and I was miserable, mostly because they were SO RACIST. I left there and moved to Philadelphia where I work with predominantly black people and I'm only slightly less miserable because I'm not like anyone. I only date Asian men, I listen to you and Broadway musicals at work, I'm vegan (sorry Uncle Roger). I think if I could pass as fully black I'd still have a hard time fitting in. Neither of my parents said "this is how we're raising them" so I kind of ended up taking after my mom, who was white, because I was always with her. My son is 3/4 white and he is so unique. He plays in a rock band but he loves rap, he knows he's part black but not black enough for it to effect his life in the negative way it could but he has compassion for the struggle. In summation, it can be hard to be mixed if you don't have a strong sense of self. I think all mixed race kids should be exposed to all of their cultures and maybe grow into what they're most comfortable with, not their parents.
lmao i'm literally having my leg on my chair right now🤣
As a mixed race person can confirm the food is amazing. Maybe it's different in the US because we are more of a melting pot. But I'm from the South so I've grown up with both Southern food and Vietnamese food, and I can honesltly say that I live in the best of both worlds. ❤
seems like those fans are starting "Orange Polos Matter" lol
Being mixed race isn't difficult. I'm 1/2 Indian, 1/4 Jamaican, 1/4 English(i look kinda Indian, but also English and Jamaican..), i always just tick the 'mixed race' box and say i'm mixed-race, and because of that i get judged a lot less than you must by ticking Asian, or any other minority in this country. I fit in amongst most people because they don't know 'what i am', but they're too scared to ask, so they just forget about race around me, which is excellent, to just be treated like a person, not a white person/black person/East Asian person, etc. Indians in general i've noticed tend to integrate on principle(because it's the most intelligent thing to do)so they get along well with all kinds of people, white people make an effort to get along with others, Jamaicans are so friendly they get along with everyone too, it's only East Asians i've seen who seem to segregate themselves for no reason, Muslims and Jewish people do that too, for all different reasons though, i think East Asians think that non-East Asians are ugly, diseased, and stupid, and Muslims have it in their holy book that non-Muslims aren't really great, and i think Jewish people segregate themselves due to historical issues of when they try to integrate they get killed and their teachings include not forgetting quite a bit... And the only person who ever bullied me did it because she was jealous or something, she kept calling me barbie because of my make-up choices, and following me around so i punched her in the neck. Do confront your bullies if you don't want to be a weak person.
Growing up in California.. I've never had an identity issue. Father is African American, mom is Indonesian and dutch. There weren't many mixed kids back when I was school.. so we were "exotic" looking 😂😂 only what I've heard. But mixed children is the norm now.
I sit like that when I draw. It's hard to work if not 1 leg up on chair.
This one should be interesting :D
I sat next to a guy on a flight from Seoul who very shortly after take off and the seat belt sign went off he sat in a squat position for 90% of the flight, he only sat down when food arrived. Also having the shits when in China and opening the door to find a squat toilet and no toilet paper is no fun at all...luckily i had some spare clothes with me that came in handy :-)
I actually LOVE the addition of the producer. Like I'm glad it's not a collab with any other ytber, but like your own producer. I love how you both make fun of each other, loving your asian-western dynamics! Matt is so amazing, fr! Love how Nigel could vent to his own producer ^^
Xin Nian Kuai Le Nigel. Xin = New, Nian = Year, Kuai = Happy. Gong xi fa cai. (Congratulations).
Nigel was educated at Chinese school. No translation needed.
Much better with 2 people in the studio! Good move! I wasn't fan of the purr monolog type 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nigel and his BBC!🤣😭😂😭🤣😂
I sometimes put my leg up people I don’t have any good lace to place it😂
I just realised his character is from Malaysia but has a Hong Kong accent!
Uncle roger, please review greg's kitchen thai green curry
Identity is incredibly hard being mixed race, there isn't a simple answer to "Where are you from" that will satisfy anyone's curiosity. I'll say that I'm English because it's the easiest to get away with. Mainly because of my Southern British accent, but I'm also tanned (Filipino) and grew up in the Middle East so I have some of their habits. Some people have outright asked "What's your ethnicity", which I don't mind.
yeah, imo it's more annoying when people try to be PC and ask indirectly. When people ask "Where are you from?" I like to be petty and reply, "Here" (because I've lived in the area my whole life) instead of giving them the ethnic information they really want, but are too scared to ask. 😂
In Indonesia, if we sat like that, we call like eat at warteg ( Warung Tegal) , do you know warteg uncle?
it's just automatic to lift one leg up when I'm sitting not in public
I remember when Vice had a guy go into the jungle to lick frogs. Now they are screwing up butter chicken....oh how the mighty have fallen.
We Love Matt because he is Luke Skywalker: nudge, nudge, hint, hint...
Be satisfied that haters hate you but still know you, whereas you don't care because you have no idea who they are.
Uncle Roger: This guy i never met before
Few minute later
Uncle Roger: Try to sit like this like tonight you see your wife Gemma
Nigel, are you still doing Rice to Meet You with Evelyn Mok?
Orange army you said mr Nigel? Pemuda Pancasila: my time has come...
OMG My super idol
Wearing orange polos, belt cellphone cases, carrying a rice maker under 1 arm and a wok in our hand... With a bag of msg in our pocket.
i watched it before it got blocked
Well, that explained something. I was watching a comedy show on TV last night and I saw this thing in the programme's Dictionary Corner that was so pale, indistinct and shiny I thought they'd got the Hubble Space Telescope as a special guest. After a couple of minutes I realised it was Nigel.
I guess that's what happens when you share your theories on male celebrities and make-up artists before a show.
Hint: never piss off your make-up artist - they can make it look like your nasal hair is refracting light if they want to.
100.000 subs coming up soon :)
Do a review on Jamie Oliver on the Selena + Chef show HBOmax lol. It's third season and the last episode.
I always have my leg on chair, most comfortable position ever
You have an army of Uncle and aunties backing you

I CANT BUY A TSHIRT BUT I CAN HELL BURN DOWN A BUILDING MUHAHAHAH
33:30 Squat toilet is healthier. The muscles involved in the area will work better.
Hilarious!!!!:Growing up I never cared about race. I was so sheltered, and didnt care that I was. I just wanted to know what made humans tick. There is nothing foreign because all are human.
Why is CNY 15 days, we only get 3 days here in Hong Kong.
初一到初十五
@@PassionPno It is? Then why do we get only a 3 day holiday? 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
@@whoam6680 idk. I'm not from Hong Kong. I'm from Malaysia. Just like Nigel.
@@PassionPno I am not from Hong Kong either, I just live here for the last 7 years. It might be different from place to place, so yeah, thanks or telling me it is different in other countries. I honestly did not know.
@@whoam6680 CNY is 15days but the official holiday is different from place to place. It is even different within China. I think they just want us to go back to work as soon as possible 😂
Nigel, you just need to get you some mixed lovin…. You’ll stop saying we shouldn’t exist 😂😂😂 but in all seriousness, it’s hard growing up mixed but I tell my kids just like you said it actually. I explain we aren’t any different aside from skin other than culture… they get it! Kids are so different nowadays! Keep it up!!!
I like Matt because it feels like I am listening to Marcus Butlers podcast again except the better version. Matt is still the same dingus though that we grew to love.
Matt is like the new evlyn hhhh
Us white guys used to go to Chef Poon's Chinese New Year Private Dinner in Philadelphia. Chinese New Year is hot. you get money.
