[male announcer over speaker]
Philippines...

4
00:00:12,429 --> 00:00:15,140
are you ready?

5
00:00:15,223 --> 00:00:17,225
[Jo Koy's opening song playing]

6
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:20,395
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,

7
00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:25,942
give it up for Jo Koy!

8
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:28,111
[Jo Koy's opening song continues to play]

9
00:00:38,246 --> 00:00:39,414
[Jo] Hey.

10
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:43,251
Yes!

11
00:00:46,546 --> 00:00:48,423
I love you! I love you! I love you!

12
00:00:48,506 --> 00:00:50,133
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

13
00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:54,512
Man, this is amazing, you guys.

14
00:00:57,932 --> 00:01:01,436
I'm so damn excited. I don't even know
how to express how excited I am.

15
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:05,065
I'm sorry if I keep repeating myself,
but that's genuinely how I feel.

16
00:01:05,148 --> 00:01:06,107
I'm so excited.

17
00:01:06,191 --> 00:01:09,152
This is the highlight of my career, man.
I swear to God.

18
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:13,281
Everyone has bucket lists.
This is my bucket list moment right here.

19
00:01:14,949 --> 00:01:19,913
I brought Netflix to the Philippines, man.
Are you kidding me?

20
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:25,794
It's a beautiful moment 'cause tonight
I'm going to show you my history

21
00:01:25,877 --> 00:01:27,170
while we make history.

22
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:31,132
We're gonna showcase Filipino culture
to the world tonight, you guys.

23
00:01:31,216 --> 00:01:32,592
That's what we're gonna do.

24
00:01:32,675 --> 00:01:34,928
We're representing the Philippines
to the world.

25
00:01:35,011 --> 00:01:37,388
I'm gonna show you music,
performers, food.

26
00:01:37,806 --> 00:01:41,392
Every element of this show is Filipino.

27
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:44,312
Everyone... Look.

28
00:01:44,395 --> 00:01:47,899
Everyone inside here is Filipino.
This casino's owned by a Filipino.

29
00:01:47,982 --> 00:01:51,236
This fucking cameraman is a Filipino.

30
00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:59,953
And I just found out that we're related.
That's also my uncle. He's my uncle.

31
00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:05,917
I'm gonna ask the world right now,
have you ever met a Filipino?

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,878
If you've been to a hospital,
then the answer is yes.

33
00:02:11,256 --> 00:02:14,425
Every nurse can sing,
every nurse can dance,

34
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:18,054
and there's always one comedian
in the emergency room.

35
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:23,393
That's what Filipinos do.
They sing, they dance, and they laugh.

36
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:25,061
[crowd cheers]

37
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:26,855
And they take your blood pressure.

38
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:30,775
And if you're sitting at home,
and you're watching this,

39
00:02:30,859 --> 00:02:33,069
you're gonna love this show
because we're gonna give you

40
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:36,531
an all-expense-paid, first-class ticket
to the Philippines,

41
00:02:36,614 --> 00:02:39,159
and Netflix is paying for it.

42
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:41,202
[crowd cheers]

43
00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:44,873
Here's a fun fact for you.
I know a lot of people don't know this,

44
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:47,500
but the Philippines is separated
by 7,000 islands.

45
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:48,751
Seven thousand islands.

46
00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:51,296
And they speak about 187 languages.

47
00:02:51,379 --> 00:02:55,842
One hundred and eighty-seven languages!

48
00:02:55,925 --> 00:02:58,136
-Did you get that in your head?
-[crowd] Yes!

49
00:02:58,219 --> 00:03:01,014
But there's one language
you all speak fluently.

50
00:03:01,472 --> 00:03:04,517
Karaoke. And that's fucking Japanese!

51
00:03:08,605 --> 00:03:10,857
So I guess it's 188 languages.

52
00:03:11,649 --> 00:03:15,278
Entertainment is in our blood.
My sister sang and I danced.

53
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:17,197
I know what you guys are thinking.
"You danced?"

54
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,573
Yes, I used to dance.

55
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,242
I'm an OG B-boy from the '80s, man.

56
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,577
[crowd cheers]

57
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:26,998
I still remember back in the day when
I used to do the moonwalk at talent shows.

58
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:30,001
And when my mom found out
I could impersonate Michael Jackson,

59
00:03:30,084 --> 00:03:32,795
it was the best day
and the worst day of my life.

60
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:33,963
[crowd laughs]

61
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,925
Best day, because my mom was like,
[Filipino accent] "Oh! You have talent."

62
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:39,177
It was the worst day
'cause my mom was like,

63
00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:41,054
[Filipino accent] "Oh! You have talent."

64
00:03:41,179 --> 00:03:43,181
[crowd laughs]

65
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:46,809
And when she found out
I could dance like Michael Jackson,

66
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:50,271
she made me do it
every time someone came to the house.

67
00:03:51,189 --> 00:03:53,399
Every time.
It didn't matter who was at the house.

68
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:56,778
[Filipino accent] "Your auntie is here.
Do the Michael Jackson.

69
00:03:56,861 --> 00:03:59,447
[crowd laughs and cheers]

70
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,700
Joseph, your uncle is here.
Do the Michael Jackson.

71
00:04:02,784 --> 00:04:04,661
And not just one time like that, oh.

72
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,329
[crowd laughs and cheers]

73
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:12,001
Joseph, my friends from work are here.
Do the Michael Jackson one time, Joseph."

74
00:04:12,794 --> 00:04:15,630
She made me do Michael Jackson
my whole life

75
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:18,299
and then it just got to the point
where I was done.

76
00:04:18,383 --> 00:04:20,551
I'm not gonna do the Michael Jackson
anymore.

77
00:04:20,635 --> 00:04:22,136
I remember that day.

78
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:26,641
[Filipino accent] "My coworkers are here.
Do the Michael Jackson for me, Joseph."

79
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:29,560
I was like, "No, I'm not doing it.
I'm done. No more.

80
00:04:29,644 --> 00:04:31,396
Stop telling people I can do that."

81
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:34,565
[Filipino accent]
"But I told all my coworkers and...

82
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,152
Look, they're waiting. Just...

83
00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:40,071
[crowd laughs and cheers]

84
00:04:40,154 --> 00:04:43,283
Come on, Joseph. Just do like-- Come on.

85
00:04:44,075 --> 00:04:45,994
Just one, Joseph."

86
00:04:46,661 --> 00:04:49,914
"No, Mom. Stop telling people I can do
Michael Jackson. I'm not doing it anymore.

87
00:04:49,998 --> 00:04:51,457
I'm done. I'm not gonna do it."

88
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:54,752
[Filipino accent] "I told my coworkers.
That's why they're here.

89
00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:56,379
They want you to do the Michael Jackson,

90
00:04:56,462 --> 00:04:59,173
and you're not going to do it?
That's embarrassing me.

91
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:01,968
Why don't you want to do
the Michael Jackson?

92
00:05:02,051 --> 00:05:04,262
Tell me why. Huh. Why?

93
00:05:04,345 --> 00:05:07,807
Tell me why you don't want to do
the Michael Jackson, Joseph. Why?"

94
00:05:10,768 --> 00:05:12,562
And I was like,"'Cause I'm 33."

95
00:05:20,236 --> 00:05:22,989
And she was like, "Then move out."
I was like, "Fuck that."

96
00:05:23,072 --> 00:05:25,116
[imitates
Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean"]

97
00:05:29,078 --> 00:05:30,204
This is amazing, man.

98
00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:32,749
This is what I love about this show,
you guys.

99
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:35,001
I get to bring some of my friends,

100
00:05:35,084 --> 00:05:37,503
my Filipino friends
that are killing it in the business

101
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:40,423
back to Manila
to see where it all started.

102
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:42,342
This next dude I'm bringing up

103
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:45,219
is one of the best break-dancers
in the world, man.

104
00:05:45,636 --> 00:05:48,973
He's representing the United States
in the Olympics, Paris, France,

105
00:05:49,057 --> 00:05:50,016
in break-dancing.

106
00:05:50,099 --> 00:05:51,100
Check this out.

107
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:52,310
[crowd cheers]

108
00:05:52,393 --> 00:05:54,771
What's up, y'all?
We're here in The Tenement,

109
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:57,774
and I'm feeling really blessed
and honored to be here.

110
00:05:57,899 --> 00:06:00,735
You know the locals don't have much here,
but what they do have

111
00:06:00,818 --> 00:06:02,195
is the love for dance.

112
00:06:02,612 --> 00:06:05,114
And this is a big part
of the Filipino culture,

113
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:08,576
and I'm gonna get the opportunity
to teach a masterclass here.

114
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:09,702
[electricity shorts]

115
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:13,206
[Ronnie] Music!
We do it one time all together.

116
00:06:13,289 --> 00:06:14,707
[woman] All right. Are you ready?

117
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:16,834
Here we go.

118
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:18,753
[upbeat break dancing music playing]

119
00:06:18,836 --> 00:06:20,213
I'm gonna watch this one.

120
00:06:23,299 --> 00:06:25,468
Five, six, seven, eight. Go.

121
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:26,386
Wah.

122
00:06:27,678 --> 00:06:28,888
Ba, ha.

123
00:06:29,138 --> 00:06:29,972
Ah.

124
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:31,682
Ah. Ah.

125
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:35,061
Six, eight. And boom, boom, ba.

126
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:36,604
Four.

127
00:06:37,855 --> 00:06:38,689
Eight.

128
00:06:39,273 --> 00:06:41,192
Two. Nice.

129
00:06:42,860 --> 00:06:45,947
-[Ronnie] All right.
-This is what it's all about. Right here.

130
00:06:46,364 --> 00:06:47,990
[Jo] I've known Ronnie 20 years.

131
00:06:48,658 --> 00:06:50,868
Two kids in Vegas and now look at us.

132
00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:53,162
Yes. It's kind of like a clumsy run.

133
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:55,873
Instead of running this way,
you're running this way.

134
00:06:56,874 --> 00:06:58,835
One more time. Let's do it.

135
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:01,712
[upbeat break dancing music
continues to play]

136
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:21,357
[Ronnie] Yeah! Ha-ha!

137
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:23,276
Let's take a little break.

138
00:07:23,359 --> 00:07:25,236
[upbeat music playing]

139
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,029
[Ronnie] Just giving feedback,

140
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:29,407
just think about all the moves you do
as a picture.

141
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:30,950
That's how you know if you're clean.

142
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:33,494
When people rush their moves,
you don't see what they're doing.

143
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:36,497
You think you're hitting it, but,
you know, when you start getting tired,

144
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:40,042
you're not exaggerating these movements,
so when I'm saying double knee boom...

145
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:41,586
grab your head.

146
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:44,130
Grab your chest. Foot. Foot.

147
00:07:44,213 --> 00:07:46,132
So pay attention to those details,

148
00:07:46,215 --> 00:07:48,718
'cause that's what makes
these moments count.

149
00:07:50,094 --> 00:07:53,598
I feel privileged and honored to be here.
You guys learn fast, you guys pick it up,

150
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:55,558
and you guys have that style,
which is dope.

151
00:07:55,641 --> 00:07:58,686
Filipino B-boys, we're all about style,
right, and intricacy.

152
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:00,897
And having original moves.

153
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:04,233
And I can see that in every single
one of you guys. Shit's tight.

154
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,151
Props.

155
00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:08,654
Hats off to you guys.
You guys killed it.

156
00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:14,076
[Jo] About to see some real cypher.
This is a real cypher.

157
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:16,829
They're all coming out running.
This is how they claim it.

158
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:18,915
This is how you get your name
in the B-boy world,

159
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:20,291
coming after someone like Ronnie.

160
00:08:20,875 --> 00:08:21,751
Watch this.

161
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,336
[Ronnie] Get that shit.

162
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:25,546
Killed it, bro. Killed it.

163
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:28,633
-I’m B-boy representing Paranaque
-Okay.

164
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:30,343
[man] I live here in the Philippines.

165
00:08:30,426 --> 00:08:33,179
I’m a poor B-boy. I live in a jeepney.

166
00:08:33,262 --> 00:08:37,183
-I also teach the kids to not use drugs.
-Yeah.

167
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:40,269
-Yeah.
-I teach the kids to change their lives.

168
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:41,771
That's amazing, man.

169
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:46,025
-I got you, bro.
-I'm a B-boy representing Paranaque.

170
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:48,361
[upbeat break-dancing music playing]

171
00:08:48,444 --> 00:08:50,279
[Ronnie] Woo-hoo! Smooth.

172
00:08:54,825 --> 00:08:56,118
[Ronnie] Get it, Mouse.

173
00:09:01,582 --> 00:09:04,460
This is real fucking B-boy shit
right here.

174
00:09:12,134 --> 00:09:13,803
[Jo] Hey, let's go!

175
00:09:18,349 --> 00:09:20,184
[Jo] Whoa. Oh, my God.

176
00:09:22,019 --> 00:09:23,563
[Ronnie] Yeah!

177
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:30,528
-It's real, yo.
-That's what I'm talking about.

178
00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:37,076
This is unexpected. I did not expect
that many dancers to show up.

179
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:38,244
It was crazy.

180
00:09:38,327 --> 00:09:42,164
Some of them were actually from the city
where my family's from. From Iloilo.

181
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:44,000
From Pangasinan.

182
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:48,629
It's humbling to know that they came
all the way out here for this workshop.

183
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:49,880
You weren't expecting that?

184
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:51,173
-Not at all.
-They were amazing.

185
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:52,300
And they were killing it.

186
00:09:52,383 --> 00:09:56,012
My favorite story from the cypher
is this one B-boy came out,

187
00:09:56,095 --> 00:09:59,390
and he was like, "I live in a jeepney,
but this is what I do.

188
00:09:59,473 --> 00:10:03,269
I B-boy. I teach kids to B-boy
and keep them off drugs.

189
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:05,605
And now I'm battling Ronnie."

190
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:08,399
[Jo] Like, he's seen you on YouTube

191
00:10:08,482 --> 00:10:12,194
and that inspires him to try
and get other kids to stay off drugs

192
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:13,654
and dance. That's deep.

193
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:15,072
-Humbling.
-[Jo] It's what you do.

194
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:17,825
I mean...
I have family that lives in Tenement.

195
00:10:18,075 --> 00:10:21,412
-And I've visited them.
-[Jo] Yeah.

196
00:10:21,495 --> 00:10:23,372
And to be here, it's like...

197
00:10:23,998 --> 00:10:25,958
-I know.
-This is where we're from, man.

198
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:28,836
-This is our bloodline.
-Yeah. 100%.

199
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:30,921
It's humbling.
It's a big honor to be here.

200
00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:32,465
Look at this environment.

201
00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:34,091
-This will humble you.
-Yep.

202
00:10:34,175 --> 00:10:36,093
This goes to show you can do anything.

203
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:39,221
No matter what your situation is,
you can do it.

204
00:10:39,347 --> 00:10:41,223
[crowd cheers and claps]

205
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:43,976
[same upbeat break-dancing song plays]

206
00:12:46,724 --> 00:12:47,850
[Jo] Yes!

207
00:12:55,733 --> 00:12:56,567
[Jo] Yes!

208
00:13:00,905 --> 00:13:02,782
Are you kidding me?
Right there, that's Ronnie.

209
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:05,785
I want everyone to know
I've known Ronnie since he was 17.

210
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:11,332
I used to book comedy shows,
and he used to perform at my comedy shows.

211
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:15,252
So it's just fucking crazy
that two Filipinos from 20 years ago

212
00:13:15,336 --> 00:13:17,463
are now doing the same thing
that they love to do

213
00:13:17,546 --> 00:13:20,549
right here in the motherland,
in the Philippines, man.

214
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:22,718
How crazy is that?

215
00:13:24,261 --> 00:13:26,680
This is what's even more crazy.
That we were in The Tenement

216
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:29,600
and these kids actually knew Ronnie
from the Internet.

217
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:32,436
These kids that live in The Tenement
can go on YouTube

218
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,648
and find another Filipino B-boy
from across the world

219
00:13:35,731 --> 00:13:39,068
and, next thing you know, they're dancing
together. That shit is beautiful to me.

220
00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:40,820
You couldn't do that when I was a kid.

221
00:13:41,195 --> 00:13:45,366
I couldn't go online in 1989. Are you
kidding? You know how hard it was for me?

222
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:50,454
Do you know how hard it was for me
to find another Filipino comic in 1989

223
00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:51,622
without the Internet?

224
00:13:52,122 --> 00:13:56,085
Do you know how hard it was for me
to just find another Filipino in 1989?

225
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:57,044
It was hard.

226
00:13:57,503 --> 00:14:00,589
That's why I wore the Filipino flag
on my chest when I did The Tonight Show.

227
00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:04,593
People ask me, "Why did you wear that flag
on your chest on the The Tonight Show?"

228
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:08,264
Because I wanted other Filipino kids
that wanted to be a comic

229
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:10,099
to be inspired
when they saw me that night.

230
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:13,894
If they saw me that night, they would be
like, "Yo, I can do that, too."

231
00:14:15,980 --> 00:14:18,357
That's the only reason
why I wore it that night.

232
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:22,069
Actually, there is one other reason
why I wore it that night.

233
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:26,115
Because the night after
I taped The Tonight Show, the day after,

234
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:28,325
there was a journeyman fighter,

235
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:31,287
a Filipino journeyman fighter
by the name of Manny Pacquiao...

236
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:35,708
He was fighting Antonio Barrera.
This guy was knocking everybody out.

237
00:14:35,791 --> 00:14:38,544
There was no way Manny
could have won that fight. No way.

238
00:14:38,627 --> 00:14:41,005
If you had bet the house on Manny
that night,

239
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:43,007
you'd still be spending that money today.

240
00:14:43,257 --> 00:14:44,508
He wasn't supposed to win.

241
00:14:44,592 --> 00:14:47,595
And the whole world watched.
And I couldn't wait to watch.

242
00:14:47,678 --> 00:14:52,433
I was like, "Yes, finally, there's gonna
be a Filipino at the top of his game

243
00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:54,143
getting ready to represent the Filipinos."

244
00:14:54,518 --> 00:14:56,353
I couldn't wait. Everyone was watching it.

245
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:58,355
Hundreds of millions of people
watched that fight.

246
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:00,691
And then he won.

247
00:15:01,775 --> 00:15:02,902
He fucking won.

248
00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:05,279
[crowd cheering and clapping]

249
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:07,573
He won.

250
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:11,368
And I remember just watching it,
like, "Oh, my God, he won."

251
00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:14,288
It was amazing.

252
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:16,916
'Cause I knew that was the day...

253
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,002
that hundreds of millions of people...

254
00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:24,381
were gonna hear
the thickest Filipino accent ever.

255
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:25,966
It was so fucking thick.

256
00:15:26,508 --> 00:15:31,597
It was the thickest Filipino accent,
and I was so happy.

257
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,975
I was like,
"That's my fucking accent right there."

258
00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:37,436
I remember that interview
like it was yesterday.

259
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,105
They were like, "So, Manny,
how did you prepare to fight Barrera?"

260
00:15:40,189 --> 00:15:42,358
[Filipino accent] He was like,
"Well, you know, the...

261
00:15:42,441 --> 00:15:44,276
When he was, you know...

262
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,280
He punched like that
and he went like that, I go like that.

263
00:15:48,364 --> 00:15:51,951
And then he hit me.
I look at him, I punch him back.

264
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:54,703
He goes like that and then he...

265
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:56,372
he, uh...

266
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:58,540
he... you know, he...

267
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:01,835
he, uh... Jesus Christ.

268
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:13,055
But I will say this, man.
I was proud of Manny.

269
00:16:13,555 --> 00:16:15,140
Because he spoke English.

270
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:18,060
And I'm not trying to be funny.

271
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:21,605
That was the first time
the world got to see a Filipino accent,

272
00:16:21,689 --> 00:16:25,651
and I was proud of Manny that day.
And no disrespect to Antonio Barrera,

273
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:28,570
no matter how many times
he won the championship,

274
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:31,156
he always spoke Spanish.
He's supposed to 'cause he's Mexican.

275
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:34,994
But that night, Manny said,
"I'm speaking English."

276
00:16:36,078 --> 00:16:38,038
I fucking applaud him for that.

277
00:16:39,331 --> 00:16:40,457
That's amazing.

278
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:43,502
That was his moment,
and he knew he shocked the fucking world.

279
00:16:43,585 --> 00:16:46,422
[Filipino accent] "I'm going to talk
the best I can

280
00:16:46,505 --> 00:16:48,465
to let everybody know who the fuck I am."

281
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:49,717
And that's what he did.

282
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,218
[crowd laughs and cheers]

283
00:16:51,301 --> 00:16:53,762
I remember HBO Sports
gave him an interpreter.

284
00:16:53,929 --> 00:16:55,014
[crowd laughs]

285
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:55,973
That's the truth.

286
00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:58,392
Look at that. Look back.
They gave him an interpreter.

287
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,894
I remember when Manny Pacquiao
was done talking, they went,

288
00:17:00,978 --> 00:17:02,021
"Thank you so much, Manny."

289
00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:04,606
Then they went to the interpreter
and went, "What did he say?"

290
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,484
And the interpreter was like,
"He's speaking English!

291
00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:08,944
[crowd laughs]

292
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,863
You don't understand
what the fuck he's saying?

293
00:17:10,946 --> 00:17:13,907
Everything he's saying, I'm saying it,
too. You don't understand that?

294
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:15,826
You don't understand "Jesus Christ"?

295
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:18,412
Really? This motherfucker is crazy!

296
00:17:18,495 --> 00:17:20,497
Son of a shit, you. Fuck you, huh."

297
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:26,003
Nowadays,
there are a lot more opportunities

298
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:29,840
for Filipino-American comics
to get on stage and perform.

299
00:17:29,923 --> 00:17:32,885
But a lot of them
haven't come back to the motherland.

300
00:17:33,469 --> 00:17:34,303
Check this out.

301
00:17:34,845 --> 00:17:36,847
[upbeat hip-hop beats playing]

302
00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:42,644
We've been here for two hours.

303
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:44,521
I kind of just feel like

304
00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:49,276
either, A, they forgot about us
or, B, we're in the wrong city.

305
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,862
Oh, man. My stomach's hurting.

306
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:53,947
[Andrew] Oh, is that a jeepney?

307
00:17:54,198 --> 00:17:55,282
No way. Oh, shoot!

308
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:57,159
[Joey and Andrew] Oh!

309
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:58,577
[Joey] Oh, shoot!

310
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:01,955
[Andrew] Yes!

311
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:05,375
-[Joey] You picked us up in a jeepney?
-[Andrew] What?

312
00:18:05,459 --> 00:18:08,837
-[Andrew] You roll up in a jeepney, dawg?
-[Joey] This is amazing.

313
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:11,924
-[Jo] This is how we pick you up.
-Stretch. Happy Philippines.

314
00:18:12,007 --> 00:18:13,467
-First time?
-[Andrew] First time.

315
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,135
Let's get your bags. Let's go.

316
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:17,346
Leave the bags.
We've got a jeepney to catch.

317
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:19,807
Now I believe I'm in the Philippines.

318
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:22,392
[upbeat dance music playing]

319
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:25,437
I've heard about a jeepney my entire life
and now I'm in one.

320
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:28,023
Let me tell you
how resourceful Filipinos are.

321
00:18:28,524 --> 00:18:32,027
A jeepney is exactly what it is. When
the Americans left, they left their jeeps.

322
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:35,030
The Filipinos were like, [Filipino accent]
"Let's turn this into some type

323
00:18:35,155 --> 00:18:37,825
of transportation...
and make a business."

324
00:18:37,908 --> 00:18:39,284
[Jo] And that's why it's a jeepney.

325
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:41,036
-[Jo] They're the OG Uber.
-[Joey] Yeah.

326
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:43,872
-[Jo] They started this.
-[Joey] This is it.

327
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:46,959
-[Jo] Your parents moved here when?
-My dad was born here.

328
00:18:47,042 --> 00:18:48,669
-Really?
-Yeah, Dad was born here.

329
00:18:48,752 --> 00:18:50,963
He left when he was young,
when he was six.

330
00:18:51,046 --> 00:18:52,589
You guys never came here as kids?

331
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:54,925
-Never, no.
-That's so crazy.

332
00:18:56,301 --> 00:18:58,178
[Joey] Wow, how old is this church?

333
00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:00,681
-[Jo] Like 200 years, I think.
-[Joey] That's crazy.

334
00:19:01,557 --> 00:19:02,724
-Beautiful.
-Wow.

335
00:19:03,392 --> 00:19:06,395
Your mom and dad moved to Iowa
at what age?

336
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:09,439
My dad immigrated to Iowa
when he was sixth grade.

337
00:19:09,523 --> 00:19:10,899
-Sixth grade, bro?
-Yeah.

338
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,777
Neither of them could speak English.
They got married in the Philippines,

339
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:16,071
and he brought my mom over
when she was 21.

340
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:19,867
When I told my parents I was coming here,
they dropped me at the airport in Iowa,

341
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:21,243
they got emotional.

342
00:19:21,326 --> 00:19:24,705
It was one of those things.
They were like, "Take it all in."

343
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:28,250
Thank you for that. It was a moving moment
for them to know that I was gonna see it.

344
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:30,669
Hi.

345
00:19:30,752 --> 00:19:32,588
[upbeat dance music playing]

346
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,174
-So fun.
-Oh, my God.

347
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:36,341
[Joey] That was dope.

348
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:37,843
We're back here.

349
00:19:38,343 --> 00:19:40,220
So point, point. Garlic rice!

350
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:42,472
Itlog. Longganisa!

351
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:45,350
[Filipino accent]
Filipino breakfast at its best.

352
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:46,685
Point, point.

353
00:19:47,227 --> 00:19:48,061
[Jo] Like that.

354
00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:52,191
-[cat howls]
-Oh, my God, there's a cat! Jesus Christ!

355
00:19:58,989 --> 00:20:01,325
-I'm so happy you guys are here.
-Thank you for taking us.

356
00:20:01,408 --> 00:20:03,994
-[Jo in Tagalog] I love you.
-[Joey in Tagalog] I love you.

357
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:06,205
[crowd cheers]

358
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:08,874
Please give it up
to my friend, Andrew Lopez.

359
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:13,462
Hey.

360
00:20:14,171 --> 00:20:16,798
What's up, everybody? Hey.

361
00:20:17,257 --> 00:20:20,093
It's so dope to be in the Philippines
for the first time.

362
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:24,598
This is amazing for me because I'm around
people that look exactly like me.

363
00:20:25,933 --> 00:20:28,602
That's amazing.
I don't think all Asians look the same,

364
00:20:28,685 --> 00:20:31,563
but right when I got to the Philippines,
right when I got off the airplane,

365
00:20:31,647 --> 00:20:35,317
everyone looked at me and was like,
"You look exactly like Coco Martin."

366
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,402
[crowd laughs and cheers]

367
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:41,156
I was like, "Who the hell is Coco Martin?"

368
00:20:41,531 --> 00:20:44,493
If you don't know who Coco Martin is,
he's the Tom Cruise of the Philippines.

369
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:46,954
I looked this guy up on my phone.
I look exactly like him,

370
00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:49,039
if Coco Martin was on drugs.

371
00:20:49,122 --> 00:20:50,499
[crowd laughs]

372
00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:54,044
But it's amazing being around people that
look like me. I never had that in my life.

373
00:20:54,127 --> 00:20:57,714
I grew up in a town of 10,000 white people
and then just me.

374
00:20:57,798 --> 00:21:00,425
I was one of one Asian guy in this town.

375
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:03,637
If you wanted to go
to the Chinese restaurant where I grew up,

376
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,055
you went to our house.

377
00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:10,269
That's how white this place is.
And my name is Andrew Lopez.

378
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:14,815
Do you know how confusing that was
for all the white people?

379
00:21:14,898 --> 00:21:18,235
My entire life, I had to give
presentations on what an Asian was,

380
00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:19,945
because they had never seen one before.

381
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:22,656
For my third-grade show and tell,
you know what I did?

382
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,200
I brought my mom to school.

383
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:27,244
[crowd laughs]

384
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:30,080
I showed her off
and I told the kids I was Filipino,

385
00:21:30,163 --> 00:21:31,832
and that word blew their minds

386
00:21:31,915 --> 00:21:34,334
because they had never heard that word
their entire lives.

387
00:21:34,418 --> 00:21:37,587
They straight up thought it was a disease
I was talking about.

388
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:42,634
Kids on the playground were like, "Yo,
bro, did you hear about the Mexican kid?

389
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:46,388
Yeah. It turns out he has Filipino."

390
00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:49,808
But I got out of there.

391
00:21:49,891 --> 00:21:52,185
Now I'm seeing you guys,
and I'm taking in the culture,

392
00:21:52,269 --> 00:21:54,855
and I want to see the ladies,
and I want to connect with you,

393
00:21:54,938 --> 00:21:58,317
and that's why I turned my Tinder on
right when I got in this bitch.

394
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:01,403
Yeah. It's on a 500 ft. radius, too,

395
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:04,489
so all the thotties in here,
let's match up, let's link up.

396
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,784
I have a passport.
I'll take you back to America. Let's go.

397
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:12,664
I'll hold you, bathe you, marry you,
kiss your butt and your mouth tonight.

398
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:14,916
Let's do it. I'm in. I love Tinder.

399
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,960
And don't pretend
like you're not on Tinder.

400
00:22:17,044 --> 00:22:19,129
I watched the girls walk in, in here.

401
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:22,591
The girls with the fake eyebrows,
you're the ones on Tinder. I know.

402
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:25,552
And don't worry,
I swipe right on everyone by the way.

403
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:29,973
So all you girls, let's go tonight.
I swipe right on every single picture.

404
00:22:30,057 --> 00:22:32,351
I never swipe left,
because all I'm looking for is love.

405
00:22:32,434 --> 00:22:35,187
I don't even look at the pictures.
I do it in my pocket like this.

406
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:36,897
I walk around all day swiping right.

407
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:40,067
I don't even know who's gonna be
in my hotel room tonight. Let's go.

408
00:22:40,150 --> 00:22:43,487
I love Tinder so much
that it changed everything about me.

409
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:46,365
I wish I was gay,
so I could suck dick and get more matches.

410
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:47,407
Do you understand?

411
00:22:48,408 --> 00:22:51,578
I love Tinder so much, man. Tinder
is the most positive thing in my life.

412
00:22:51,661 --> 00:22:53,914
I'm wearing a condom right now.

413
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:55,916
It's a magnum, too.

414
00:22:55,999 --> 00:22:59,211
I don't fit, but it makes me feel black
and that's how I get more matches.

415
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:04,925
That's some dumb smart shit I'm saying
by the way.

416
00:23:05,509 --> 00:23:07,219
I know a lot of dumb smart people.

417
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:11,223
If you don't know what a dumb smart person
is, you've got to meet a smart racist.

418
00:23:11,306 --> 00:23:12,933
That's a dumb smart person.

419
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:15,644
If you don't know what a smart racist is,
some examples.

420
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:17,479
I met a guy
that was a smart racist person.

421
00:23:17,562 --> 00:23:19,689
He came up to me one time,
like, "Hey, bro.

422
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:22,818
What's up with all these Asians
using chopsticks?"

423
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:24,778
I was like,
"Do you have a problem with Asians?"

424
00:23:24,861 --> 00:23:27,239
He's like, "I just think
that forks and spoons are easier."

425
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,198
And I was like...

426
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:29,783
"You're right. I don't..."

427
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:35,163
I have parents that are very genuine.
My parents are dope.

428
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,499
I love them so much.
They cared about me my entire life.

429
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:40,502
My dad was in the Air Force. He did
everything for me to have a better life.

430
00:23:40,585 --> 00:23:42,337
My dad is a competitive Filipino.

431
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,840
And if you know a competitive Filipino,
they're crazy.

432
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:48,427
Filipino dads, you know how competitive
they are by watching them sneeze.

433
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:50,178
Filipino dads, they sneeze loud as shit

434
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,722
and they try to sneeze louder
than the other dads. It's amazing.

435
00:23:53,306 --> 00:23:54,808
You know exactly who I'm talking about.

436
00:23:54,891 --> 00:23:57,519
You'll be at church, the entire church
will be completely quiet,

437
00:23:57,602 --> 00:23:59,479
but if your dad needs to sneeze,
he'll just...

438
00:23:59,646 --> 00:24:00,939
[sneezes forcefully]

439
00:24:02,649 --> 00:24:05,652
And bless himself, like, "Bless me."

440
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:10,991
My mom was dope, too.
My mom gave me harsh love.

441
00:24:11,074 --> 00:24:13,326
I remember the first time
my mom caught me drinking.

442
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:15,454
I was 16 years old,
I had a bottle of whiskey.

443
00:24:15,537 --> 00:24:17,289
I walked in the room,
my mom caught me,

444
00:24:17,372 --> 00:24:20,083
and she was like,
"What are you doing with that alcohol?

445
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:23,170
Do you know what that does to people?"

446
00:24:23,628 --> 00:24:26,465
Do you remember when you got caught
smoking a cigarette as a kid,

447
00:24:26,548 --> 00:24:28,967
and your mom was like,
"What are you doing with that cigarette?

448
00:24:29,050 --> 00:24:30,760
Do you know what it does to people?"

449
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:34,598
And, as a punishment, they made you smoke
the entire pack of cigarettes?

450
00:24:35,515 --> 00:24:37,726
My mom caught me
with that bottle of whiskey and was like,

451
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:40,979
"What are you doing with that whiskey?
Do you know what this does to people?"

452
00:24:41,062 --> 00:24:43,023
And then she drank the whole thing.

453
00:24:44,107 --> 00:24:47,235
Thank you, guys. I'm Andrew Lopez.
I appreciate and love you guys.

454
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:49,905
[Jo] Andrew Lopez!

455
00:24:50,906 --> 00:24:54,659
My next guest,
make some noise for Joey Guila!

456
00:24:56,411 --> 00:24:59,664
Oh, yeah! Philippines!

457
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:03,293
Yes, come on! I feel it! Keep it going!

458
00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:05,378
[sensual dance music playing]

459
00:25:07,923 --> 00:25:10,175
Thank you so much.
That sounded like a fart.

460
00:25:10,258 --> 00:25:11,968
[makes fart sound]

461
00:25:12,552 --> 00:25:14,054
Make some noise if you believe in this.

462
00:25:14,137 --> 00:25:17,307
We need to see more Filipinos
on the big screen in Hollywood.

463
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:19,935
Right?

464
00:25:20,602 --> 00:25:23,605
I want to see
the first Filipino cowboy movie.

465
00:25:24,814 --> 00:25:25,690
Can you imagine that?

466
00:25:25,774 --> 00:25:27,776
[makes clip-clop noises]

467
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:29,611
That's not his horse. That's his slippers.

468
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:33,365
[makes clip-clop noises]

469
00:25:34,574 --> 00:25:35,408
Oy.

470
00:25:40,163 --> 00:25:42,916
I just went
to my 30th high school reunion.

471
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:45,168
Yes. And I didn't even graduate.

472
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,713
I just wanted to go to the party.

473
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,424
Everyone was at that party though.

474
00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:55,303
When the DJ played the first song,
we were like, "Oh! That's my jam."

475
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:57,806
Two songs later,
we're like, "Oh! That's my gout."

476
00:25:57,889 --> 00:25:59,891
[crowd laughs]

477
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:05,605
I love going to Filipino parties,
especially my own.

478
00:26:06,106 --> 00:26:08,775
My auntie always greets me with an insult.

479
00:26:09,025 --> 00:26:10,569
[crowd laughs]

480
00:26:10,652 --> 00:26:13,363
Does it happen to you guys, too?
That one auntie. Right?

481
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:14,364
I go, "Hi, Auntie."

482
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:16,241
[Filipino accent]
"What happened to your face?"

483
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:21,121
"What's wrong with it?"
[Filipino accent] "It's like that.

484
00:26:22,455 --> 00:26:23,873
What happened to your neck?"

485
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:25,417
She has a flashlight.

486
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:29,462
"What's wrong with my neck?"
[Filipino accent] "It's like that."

487
00:26:29,546 --> 00:26:31,548
[crowd laughs]

488
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,801
"This is my girlfriend."
[Filipino accent] "Wow.

489
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:37,470
[crowd laughs and cheers]

490
00:26:41,975 --> 00:26:43,643
What happened to the skinny one?"

491
00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:49,190
I say, "You're mean, Auntie."
[Filipino accent] "I'm not mean.

492
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:50,900
I'm a Catholic."

493
00:26:53,111 --> 00:26:55,155
She's religious when she gambles, too.

494
00:26:56,406 --> 00:26:58,825
You should see her
at the slot machines in Vegas.

495
00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:00,994
She's got a long rosary.
She just puts it around there.

496
00:27:01,077 --> 00:27:02,829
[Filipino accent] "Oh, God, please.

497
00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:04,998
Oh, God, please.

498
00:27:05,498 --> 00:27:06,583
Please, God.

499
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:08,668
Better make me win, God."

500
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:11,838
Then she pulls it.
[makes sound of slot machine]

501
00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:12,964
[Filipino accent] "Shit.

502
00:27:13,757 --> 00:27:15,133
What happened to you?

503
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:18,553
You don't love me?"

504
00:27:20,597 --> 00:27:23,642
I was in the hospital.
I've been in remission from cancer.

505
00:27:23,725 --> 00:27:25,226
I'm so happy to be here.

506
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:26,645
Yes.

507
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:27,854
[crowd claps and cheers]

508
00:27:27,937 --> 00:27:30,815
And nurses-- Any nurses in the house?
Any nurses?

509
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:34,486
[crowd laughs]

510
00:27:35,445 --> 00:27:37,113
You're all queens.

511
00:27:38,907 --> 00:27:41,743
When I was in the hospital and--
Nurses are busy.

512
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:44,537
I'm like, "Nurse? Nurse, help."

513
00:27:44,621 --> 00:27:46,206
They didn't listen. They'd walk by.

514
00:27:46,289 --> 00:27:47,707
I'd go, "Nurse, wait. Wait.

515
00:27:48,208 --> 00:27:49,292
I'm Filipino!"

516
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:52,962
[Filipino accent] She's like, "What?
How come you didn't tell me?

517
00:27:54,172 --> 00:27:55,924
I could give you something for free."

518
00:27:57,926 --> 00:28:02,138
Philippines! I'm Joey Guila.
Thank you guys so much.

519
00:28:03,556 --> 00:28:04,516
I love you all.

520
00:28:05,934 --> 00:28:06,810
[Jo] Joey Guila!

521
00:28:07,811 --> 00:28:09,104
Andrew Lopez!

522
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:13,858
Andrew Lopez.

523
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,820
A very confusing name for a Filipino.

524
00:28:16,903 --> 00:28:19,948
That's why we all have nicknames.
That's the truth.

525
00:28:20,031 --> 00:28:22,409
Like Jo Koy is not my real name.

526
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:24,202
That's my nickname.

527
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:27,080
See, you guys are in shock.
[Filipino accent] "What?

528
00:28:28,289 --> 00:28:29,499
He's an impostor?"

529
00:28:32,585 --> 00:28:35,088
That's my nickname. My aunt gave me that.

530
00:28:35,171 --> 00:28:38,174
My Auntie Evelyn gave me my name
"Jo Koy." That's not my real name.

531
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:40,510
I started stand-up 30 years ago in 1989.

532
00:28:40,593 --> 00:28:44,681
I used to go up with my real name,
you guys. Joseph Glenn Herbert.

533
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:46,349
[crowd laughs]

534
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:48,643
Fuck you! That's why I changed my name!

535
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,729
[crowd laughs and cheers]

536
00:28:51,855 --> 00:28:52,689
Literally.

537
00:28:52,772 --> 00:28:55,275
When you first start stand-up,
you've got to do open mics,

538
00:28:55,358 --> 00:28:57,402
you've got to do bars,
you've got to do restaurants.

539
00:28:57,485 --> 00:29:00,488
You only get three minutes,
and I would go up with my real name,

540
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:01,656
and then people would laugh.

541
00:29:01,740 --> 00:29:04,701
"Joseph Glenn Herbert." Fucking people
would laugh. I'm like, "God damn it."

542
00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:07,328
All my sets were about my fucking name.

543
00:29:08,371 --> 00:29:10,498
Then I went to my aunt's house
after one of the shows.

544
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,334
My cousin Mona lives there,
and I was talking to Mona.

545
00:29:13,418 --> 00:29:17,172
I was just like, "Mona, I've got to change
my name. Every time I go up on stage,

546
00:29:17,255 --> 00:29:19,549
they say my name, they laugh."

547
00:29:19,632 --> 00:29:23,261
And then my cousin was like,
"Yeah, 'cause your name sucks."

548
00:29:23,344 --> 00:29:24,596
[crowd laughs]

549
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:29,267
I go, "Okay, I know that." She's like,
"We've got to change your name."

550
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:33,354
She goes, "All right.
Why don't you drop your last name

551
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:35,648
and just go with your middle name
as your last name?"

552
00:29:35,732 --> 00:29:36,858
I go, "Joseph Glenn?"

553
00:29:37,984 --> 00:29:39,944
She goes, "Yeah, that sucks, too. Listen."

554
00:29:40,653 --> 00:29:42,405
She goes, "Get rid of your middle name,

555
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:45,408
and then take your last name,
and then move it to your first name."

556
00:29:45,492 --> 00:29:47,327
I go, "Bitch, that's still Herbert."

557
00:29:47,452 --> 00:29:48,995
[crowd laughs]

558
00:29:49,078 --> 00:29:52,582
And right when I said that,
my Auntie Evelyn was in the kitchen.

559
00:29:52,665 --> 00:29:54,334
She goes,
[Filipino accent] "Jo Koy, eat.

560
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:57,504
Jo Koy, eat. Jo Koy, eat."

561
00:29:57,587 --> 00:29:59,047
I swear to God, I was like...

562
00:30:00,048 --> 00:30:01,049
"That's my name."

563
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:04,511
She had been calling me that my whole
life, but it wasn't until that moment

564
00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:07,096
when I knew I had to change my name,
I was like, "That's my name.

565
00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:09,724
I'm going to go by Jo Koy."

566
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:11,893
1989. That's when I was like,
"I'm gonna use Jo Koy."

567
00:30:11,976 --> 00:30:14,687
Since then, for 30 years,
I've been going up as Jo Koy.

568
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:17,190
Then when this last special came out...

569
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:20,610
I had to do press,
and they kept interviewing me.

570
00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:23,738
And every reporter
kept landing on the same question.

571
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,323
"Why do you go by Jo Koy?"

572
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:27,408
I was like, "I don't have an answer."

573
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:28,993
[crowd laughs]

574
00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:32,747
I go, "That's just what Filipinos do.

575
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:36,125
They name you one thing
and then fucking call you something else."

576
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:42,298
And this is a very true story,
'cause I just found this out, you guys.

577
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:44,217
This happened about four months ago.

578
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:47,679
I went to Vegas
and I took my Auntie Evelyn out to eat.

579
00:30:47,762 --> 00:30:50,348
And I just looked at her and I go,
"Look, Auntie,

580
00:30:50,431 --> 00:30:54,269
a lot of reporters are asking me
where I got my nickname,

581
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:57,772
and I don't have a story,
so can you just tell me a story,

582
00:30:58,231 --> 00:31:00,859
why you came up with the nickname Jo Koy?"

583
00:31:00,942 --> 00:31:02,819
She's really old.
You've got to understand.

584
00:31:02,902 --> 00:31:05,154
She looked at me and she went like this,
she goes...

585
00:31:06,781 --> 00:31:08,449
[Filipino accent]
"I don't call you Jo Koy."

586
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,869
[crowd laughs]

587
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:18,293
And then I was like,
"Oh my God, she's old.

588
00:31:18,918 --> 00:31:20,545
She's losing it.

589
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:23,882
She's losing it."

590
00:31:24,507 --> 00:31:27,719
So I felt bad. I went like this.
I go, "Auntie, no, it's me.

591
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:30,430
It's me. I'm Jo Koy.

592
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:33,641
I'm Jo Koy.

593
00:31:33,725 --> 00:31:38,229
I'm Jo Koy, your favorite...
your favorite... nephew. I'm...

594
00:31:39,439 --> 00:31:40,356
I'm Jo Koy."

595
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,235
And then she goes,
[Filipino accent] "I know who you are.

596
00:31:44,694 --> 00:31:45,820
I'm not stupid.

597
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:51,367
I'm just telling you
I don't call you Jo Koy."

598
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:55,580
I go, "What are you talking about,
you don't call me Jo Koy? You were--

599
00:31:55,663 --> 00:31:57,790
Are you fucking with me right now? Like...

600
00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:00,084
Are you being serious?

601
00:32:00,168 --> 00:32:02,795
Thirty years, I've been going by Jo Koy.
You've never said anything."

602
00:32:02,879 --> 00:32:05,173
She's like, [Filipino accent] "Yeah,
I never said anything,

603
00:32:05,256 --> 00:32:08,718
because you keep saying Jo Koy,
so I just let you say it."

604
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:12,597
"So for 30 years, you let me
say Jo Koy, but you don't call me Jo Koy?

605
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,558
I could have sworn,
that day when I was at the house,

606
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:18,937
you said, 'Jo Koy, eat,' and I was like,
'Jo Koy, that's my nickname.'

607
00:32:19,312 --> 00:32:20,772
Are you serious right now?"

608
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:22,732
[Filipino accent]
"I don't call you Jo Koy."

609
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:27,779
"Then what do you--

610
00:32:29,155 --> 00:32:30,490
Then what do you call me?"

611
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,493
It's a true story, you guys.
Are you ready for this shit?

612
00:32:33,576 --> 00:32:35,119
It's gonna fucking make you cry.

613
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,997
I swear I just found this shit out.

614
00:32:39,123 --> 00:32:40,124
"What do you call me?"

615
00:32:40,917 --> 00:32:43,169
She goes,
[Filipino accent] "I call you Jo Ko.

616
00:32:43,461 --> 00:32:45,505
That is your nickname. Jo Ko."

617
00:32:46,005 --> 00:32:48,716
And for all of you at home
that don't know what that means,

618
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,802
in Tagalog, "ko" means "my."

619
00:32:51,302 --> 00:32:56,099
My nickname is My Jo. Jo Ko.
How fucking sweet is that?

620
00:33:01,396 --> 00:33:02,897
That's so sweet.

621
00:33:04,023 --> 00:33:05,942
I had no idea.

622
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:08,569
I go, "That is the sweetest nickname."

623
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:11,322
[Filipino accent] "You're the one
that keeps saying fucking Jo Koy.

624
00:33:11,406 --> 00:33:13,157
I don't know who the fuck that is.

625
00:33:13,783 --> 00:33:16,160
Every Netflix special,
'Coming to the stage, Jo Koy.'

626
00:33:16,244 --> 00:33:18,454
I'm like,
'Who the fuck is that? It's Jo Ko!

627
00:33:18,538 --> 00:33:20,289
That's Jo Ko.'"

628
00:33:21,374 --> 00:33:23,876
Why didn't she tell me this 30 years ago?

629
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:27,839
All my merchandise, misspelled.

630
00:33:31,926 --> 00:33:36,806
My next friend right here, Ramon Ibanga,
doesn't go by his real name either.

631
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:39,851
But you know who he's worked with? Drake.

632
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:41,227
[crowd cheers]

633
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:44,605
J. Cole. Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

634
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:46,941
And guess what? Those are nicknames too.

635
00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:50,028
Those are nicknames too.
Well, not Beyoncé.

636
00:33:50,111 --> 00:33:52,321
This whole time, I thought
that was a nickname. Anyways...

637
00:33:53,322 --> 00:33:58,036
He's better known as Grammy award-winning
producer !llmind, everybody.

638
00:33:59,245 --> 00:34:02,999
And we brought him home to make some
music magic right here in the Philippines.

639
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:03,916
Check this out.

[traditional Filipino instruments playing]

641
00:34:09,756 --> 00:34:10,673
Yo, yo.

642
00:34:10,965 --> 00:34:13,092
-That's good, bro.
-The legendary !llmind.

643
00:34:13,176 --> 00:34:16,054
How are you, man? Thank you so much.
What's up, man?

644
00:34:16,137 --> 00:34:18,139
-I'm a fan.
-Good to meet you. Thanks. Likewise.

645
00:34:18,222 --> 00:34:21,142
-This is wild.
-It's crazy. I can't believe I'm here.

646
00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:23,436
We gotta make this intro song for Jo.

647
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:27,523
We should use some authentic loops
and sounds that are kind of original.

648
00:34:27,607 --> 00:34:29,275
I'm there. I'm in that zone.

649
00:34:29,358 --> 00:34:34,906
This is an opportunity to introduce
Filipino culture to America.

650
00:34:35,364 --> 00:34:39,077
Just bringing those two cultures together.
Let's get to work. Come on.

651
00:34:39,452 --> 00:34:41,454
[different beats playing]

652
00:34:49,504 --> 00:34:50,505
I love this loop.

653
00:34:51,214 --> 00:34:52,465
What's the BPM?

654
00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:53,633
Eighty-five.

655
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:54,842
Can you go to 90?

656
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:58,930
[same loop continues to play]

657
00:35:02,183 --> 00:35:03,267
All right, um...

658
00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:07,772
What record did you get the guitar from?
Do you have that record on you?

659
00:35:07,855 --> 00:35:09,440
-I made that.
-You made it?

-Yeah.

829
00:43:16,969 --> 00:43:19,555
-This is the food I made.
-Yum.

830
00:43:20,055 --> 00:43:22,641
This is my favorite. Chicken adobo.
It's the best.

831
00:43:23,058 --> 00:43:24,018
Best Filipino dish.

832
00:43:24,643 --> 00:43:27,479
In the Philippines,
they eat with their hands, so...

833
00:43:28,397 --> 00:43:30,733
-Can I just get a fork?
-Joseph!

834
00:43:31,567 --> 00:43:33,944

835

[upbeat hip-hop beats playing]

838
00:43:55,174 --> 00:43:56,634
Yo, what's going on?

839
00:43:56,717 --> 00:43:59,011
Are you enjoying the show?
Has this been good?

840
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:02,973
I feel good.
Been hanging out a lot with my dad.

841
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:06,477
He just bought those things
called the transition glasses.

842
00:44:06,935 --> 00:44:08,145
Know what I'm talking about?

843
00:44:08,228 --> 00:44:12,232
If you don't know, those are the glasses
where the lenses will actually change

844
00:44:12,316 --> 00:44:15,069
so people don't have sex with you and...

845
00:44:16,403 --> 00:44:18,072
And those glasses are ridiculous to me.

846
00:44:18,155 --> 00:44:20,658
I don't know if anybody in this room
has them.

847
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:22,326
If you do, don't tell me.

848
00:44:22,409 --> 00:44:24,787
I don't respect you.
You know what I'm saying?

849
00:44:25,496 --> 00:44:28,165
Are those them, my man? Are those them?

850
00:44:28,248 --> 00:44:30,709
Look into this light right now. Look--
No, I'm just kidding.

851
00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:34,046
I take that back.
If you do have those glasses,

852
00:44:34,129 --> 00:44:36,840
I actually would like you to let me know
that you're wearing them

853
00:44:36,924 --> 00:44:38,258
before you start talking to me.

854
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:40,469
That's only because,
when I was talking to my dad,

855
00:44:40,552 --> 00:44:43,138
they changed mid-conversation.

856
00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:46,850
And I had never felt so disrespected
in my life, you know?

857
00:44:47,643 --> 00:44:50,771
And that's because when we were talking,
we were going from inside to outside

858
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:52,106
and then they start to get dark.

859
00:44:52,189 --> 00:44:55,609
So I sped up my sentence, 'cause I felt
like I was running out of time.

860
00:44:56,694 --> 00:45:00,406
But that's my dad.
He's just like a real goofy-ass dad.

861
00:45:00,489 --> 00:45:01,907
You know, like he's so goofy

862
00:45:02,408 --> 00:45:05,327
that he voted for Trump. That's who he is.

863
00:45:06,745 --> 00:45:11,709
And it was so crazy to me, you know,
only because I had no idea

864
00:45:11,792 --> 00:45:14,545
that he was even a citizen
of the country, so...

865
00:45:17,798 --> 00:45:19,299
I've been hanging out with my dad a lot

866
00:45:19,383 --> 00:45:23,303
and I think it's 'cause we're trying
to make up for lost time or whatever.

867
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:24,680
My parents aren't together.

868
00:45:24,763 --> 00:45:26,849
Anybody else grow up
in a single-parent household?

869
00:45:27,349 --> 00:45:29,560
It was your fault. And...

870
00:45:31,687 --> 00:45:32,688
Just kidding.

871
00:45:34,106 --> 00:45:37,693
My parents aren't together.
My parents split up when I was, like, 12.

872
00:45:37,776 --> 00:45:42,030
And then, when I was 15,
I found out. Yeah.

873
00:45:42,573 --> 00:45:44,366
For a good while, I had no idea. Just...

874
00:45:45,576 --> 00:45:48,078
Just one day I went up to my mom,
like, "Where's Dad been at?"

875
00:45:48,162 --> 00:45:51,457
She looked at me like,
"I knew I forgot something. Oh, man."

876
00:45:53,167 --> 00:45:54,126
Growing up--

877
00:45:54,209 --> 00:45:56,378
I have a sister,
and neither of us knew he was gone.

878
00:45:56,462 --> 00:45:59,548
That's because, when he lived with us,
he didn't hang out with us at all.

879
00:45:59,631 --> 00:46:01,216
He was gone all the time already.

880
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:04,344
So there was no real, like,
emotional attachment to him.

881
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:05,554
It was kind of like this.

882
00:46:05,637 --> 00:46:09,183
You know when you're at a party and you're
in a conversation with two other people,

883
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:11,852
and those two people
are really engaged in the conversation,

884
00:46:11,935 --> 00:46:13,395
and you're not really contributing,

885
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:16,648
so you kind of just slowly
just walk out of the conversation?

886
00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,861
And then start a new family.
You ever do that? That's wild.

887
00:46:23,071 --> 00:46:23,906
Yeah.

888
00:46:26,617 --> 00:46:28,285
We still talk all the time.

889
00:46:28,368 --> 00:46:32,998
He just got a new job.
He's currently a grade-school bus driver,

890
00:46:33,081 --> 00:46:35,417
which is so silly to me, you know.

891
00:46:35,918 --> 00:46:38,337
'Cause it's like, "Okay,
you wouldn't drive this kid to school,

892
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:40,839
but now you want to drive
everybody's kids to school. Right?

893
00:46:41,256 --> 00:46:42,800
Fine. Fine."

894
00:46:45,844 --> 00:46:48,764
I live in California, uh...

895
00:46:49,056 --> 00:46:50,891
And we get a lot of earthquakes.

896
00:46:50,974 --> 00:46:54,728
Before I do this,
do we all know what the Richter scale is?

897
00:46:55,395 --> 00:46:57,147
Okay, good,
'cause I've been thinking about it

898
00:46:57,231 --> 00:47:01,276
and I think it's crazy that the way
we measure earthquake magnitude

899
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,946
can also be applied to dick size.

900
00:47:04,029 --> 00:47:05,072
Uh...

901
00:47:05,531 --> 00:47:08,075
Yeah, some of you get it already.
Really think about it.

902
00:47:08,158 --> 00:47:09,618
Say you're working with, like, a 3.5,

903
00:47:09,701 --> 00:47:12,496
you're like, "Did you feel that shit?"
No, nobody did. Nobody felt that.

904
00:47:12,579 --> 00:47:14,081
What? Wild.

905
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:21,088
5.5 to 6, you can handle that, you know.

906
00:47:21,797 --> 00:47:23,465
That comes around the most often

907
00:47:23,549 --> 00:47:26,426
and, to be honest, might be the best one.
Shut up.

908
00:47:29,471 --> 00:47:32,850
6.5 to, like, 7, now you're like,
"Whoa, that was wild.

909
00:47:33,851 --> 00:47:35,394
We could probably go through that again,

910
00:47:35,477 --> 00:47:38,438
but maybe we should be more prepared
next time." You hear what I'm saying?

911
00:47:40,732 --> 00:47:42,776
And then anything above an eight,
you're like,

912
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:46,697
"Oh, my God. Everything is ruined.
Everything is ruined.

913
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:51,702
And my dog's dead." What? Why?

914
00:47:54,413 --> 00:47:56,248
That's been my favorite joke to tell

915
00:47:56,331 --> 00:48:00,586
as of late, only because I can see
where the dudes are at in the joke

916
00:48:00,669 --> 00:48:02,796
when I look at you and tell it.

917
00:48:05,382 --> 00:48:08,010
'Cause a lot of you
look real sad at three, but...

918
00:48:08,969 --> 00:48:12,598
But at eight, this dude elbowed his girl
like, "That's me, baby. That's me."
