Why Women Like Funny Guys | Ray Lau Returns

Our friend/comedian Ray is back for another hilarious episode—and he’s got some major announcements to share! We talk about whether we have what it takes to become stand-up comedians like Ray, and what really goes into making people laugh on stage. Things get spicy as we break down the 4 types of Asian F-boys and explore what it actually means to be emotionally gay. We also get into dating our first baddies, wild Vegas stories, and why Koreans make the most messed up shows.

In this bonus episode, we dive into the comment section—reading both the nice and mean comments down in the comment section + answering some of your burning questions. No filter, all honesty. Then we put our taste buds to the test with a chaotic blind ranking of Asian snacks, trying to guess and rank them from 1 to 10 without knowing what’s next. It’s unhinged, hilarious, and surprisingly controversial. You don’t want to miss this extra dose of chaos.
