Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Talk Funny, a podcast by Mark Daily and other
comics from all over. We ended up in Japan because
why all, ignorance of the law in Japan is not
an excuse.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is, however, a.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Qualification to get hired as a Japanese cop the Talk
Funny podcast from Nagola Radio dot com and Nigoya Comedy.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Here's Mark Daylight or greatly Mike Miller on Talk Funny.
I prefaced before I was going to do an episode
on this. We get a lot of ing all for
the Talk Funny. It's a Asportsjapan at Yahoo dot com.
One of the requests that would clarify some of the
inside baseball we did that in episode three oh eight.
If we ever say something that you can't google, that
you don't know what we're talking about, first try Google.
Didn't try episode three o eight it's called the callback episode.
So you a lot of spam, but they're very personalized.

(00:39):
They were probably using an AI and they're very good
at it. Now. It's like, hey, Mark, listen to podcast
love the podcast. Name of the podcast Talk Funny, okay,
and this is just spam, probably written by AI, and
it said if you ever thought of adding humor to
your podcasts? You m ef He slowly, I turned step
by step. Did you listen? It's called talk funny? You
and Basle?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Are you saying I have sarcasm now because we're doomed?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Hey, my nice play. Have you ever thought of acting?
I would tell you guys, you guys had a comedy show?
Do you ever take a telling jokes? He's like, now
you just that's a dig? Is that a dig? That's
a dig? Now you're just being rude And I hold
my tongue because you don't want to engage. But the
guy's English is pretty good. You just just want to
follow up. Did you ever think of any humor?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Did you ever get his uncle's money? That's what I
want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
The Sicilian part of my brain is like, listen, man,
right down that corner, that's where my humor is. I
got you right there. Sicilian part of my brain is,
I'm like, did you even listen to podcasts? Now? You're
just antagonizing me. You want to follow up on and
your qualifications for being funny or what. But the truth
is he never heard the podcast. He has listen, he
doesn't know what it's about. He might think it's about grammar,
talk funny or you know whatever. He hasn't listening. It's like,

(01:49):
is it too much for me to ask? If you
want to ask me for business to help with the
website or the podcast, could you listen to an episode?
That'd be great? Oh, that's why we forgot to do anyway,
that'd be great. That's come from office Space. We do
a lot of lines from that Google Office Space. Watch it.
I think most of the scenes are free on YouTube.
Great movie, and we do a lot. That'd be great.

(02:09):
It's very sarcastic, boss. Okay. So then I got another
one and it said we think your podcast you could
polish it up a little bit. Sound quality is good,
but we can make it even better. And I'm like,
and pay you with what we have six dollars. I
can't cast it out until it's ten dollars. That's another
twenty years for Mike and I.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
That's another five billion Indian listeners.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, we're gonna have to get all the Chinese listeners
in just to get the ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Are we translating this into Mandarin?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
A bit? Ay? I can do it.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
So we send this to prison though.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, related to this, a couple months ago, my friends
those States came over and I was giving them I
bet I came off just sounded like a bigot. Not
you you Mark you, Larry David.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just hey, these things just have to be said, okay.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
But they don't realize that. How Japanese think about Chinese
and China. You know, in the States, it's like, just
cause the Chinese doesn't mean they're and they hoard the buffet.
Now it China does, It kind of does. Just because
of their Chinese doesn't mean that, you know, they spit
on the sidewalk and they let their kids. Definitely, Yeah,
it kind of does, kind of does. It's like, no,
you have to live here. I've lived here for thirty years.

(03:13):
We were in Osaka. There's Chinese tourists everywhere.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
But here's the thing. We're not talking about all Chinese people.
The people from the city are used to living in
the city. But the thing is there's people from the
countryside who come from like a one donkey town and
they just they're not used to. In the countries, you
can get away with it, that's fine, but in the
city you can't.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, we have to, you know, we have to profisate
with not all Chinese, just nine hundred million of them.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Singaporeans also kind of used used to say that about
mainland Chinese, and.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Also Hong Kong Taiwanese say it about me yea.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
So we're not we're not making it up. But you
know it's not it's going to change over time. People
are They're getting more Chinese people are from rural areas
or moved to the cities and increasing their education. So
you know, it's not a permanent thing for sure.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well, they don't have I don't think they allow YouTube
right in China. They don't. They don't realize they're getting
secured on social media, yeah, for their behavior, and virtually
it'll catch up with them. But we were in Occa.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
There's no other tourists from any other country that are rude, right, Mark, No,
not at all.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
On anybody that's rude. Nine.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Why you don't have verse, by the way, that's my
towel by the pool. That means I own that chair,
I own that chair, I own this pool.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
You don't have verse? Place is you don't have verse, sir,
it's a sushi restaurant.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh, there's plenty of bad Canadian tourist too.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
The first ress rant I ever went to that does
have verse. So anyway, back to the route Chinese, it's
very entertaining videos of they'll show the root of behavior and stuff.
It's not all Chinese. It's basically government bureaucrats. They're on vacation.
They're rich by Chinese standard. Yeah, and they love Osaka.
I was in Osaka a.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
It's a zoo there, man, I was there the other day.
Like Totombo is the mean to Toombi is like the
main one of the main tourist regions areas in Osaka.
It's basically by the Totmboi River. And they did a
really nice job of it because when I went to
the first time, there were a couple of bridges over
the river. There were kind of a few pedestrian kinds
of areas. But what they've done is they've built a
huge walkway along the river. So it's really nice. Now
they cleaned up the river. But anyways, the wholeest streets

(05:03):
around there, around that canal are just jammed with tourists.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Did you stop by and see ed I didn't see it. No,
I was just gonna ask if he has any new jokes. Listen,
you took the first shot, all right, man oh in Osaka.
So I was in a one hundred yen shop. They
have these, you know, plastic containers on shelves and stuff,
and the Chinese would just walk by, brush them and
knock all the stuff. And I heard there's a nice

(05:26):
old Japanese lady clerk. She got she was under knees.
I helped her pick up this stuff, and I'm thinking
in my head a Chinese tourists, and she said the
phase the full with the U C K. Really fuck,
it's an Osaka phrase. Now that's how rude they are.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Not everybody, because they wouldn't pick it up. And I
told a thing, more tourists that come, the more rude
people there are. It doesn't matter what country they come from,
because you're gonna get more of everything. Right.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
They're basically government officials. They basically mostly the older women,
and they're they're Chinese caring.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Actually, you know what, there is something to be said.
I remember reading an article about that that they said
that people who lived through the generation that lived through
the Cultural Revolution, there's a video that they became very
self centered to kind of basically the boomers of China,
and they lived through the Cultural Revolution, and the lesson
that they took from that was that I'm going to
get what I want when I want it now, and
I want it now because it could be taken away

(06:20):
from me at any moment. I could be sent to
the countryside to a farm and collect a farm and
work there. So their attitude is different from the younger Chinese.
The younger Chinese are more worldly there. They don't want
to work so hard. They're kind of going to They
could like millennials in the West.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Basically they say carpe dm season of the day, but
for them it's carpe lobster. They go to the buffet
and they take all the meats. What are you anti Asian?
You could be an anti Asian? Which one you like?
Which one are you there like? For me, it's Chinese.
There's probably eighteen twenty sausages and a whole drawer full
of bacon. And I turned around, put my arms us
downe it came back. They had buckets and it's gone.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
That's definitely not I've never seen Chinese people destroy a buffet.
I've seen a lot of American tourists when I worked
in Autawa destroy buffet. There's an infamus they didn't do
that kind of hoarding thing. That's that's that's the next level.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
There's an infamous video on YouTube about that. And then
they show like people on the trains, Chinese women on
the trains and in the priority scenes, which I'm a
little sensitive now I'm sixty one because I notice. I
noticed now, and she's got all her bags and there's
old people standing up. And then finally an older guy,
older Japanese guys. I'm starting to understand him. Yeah, they will.
Actually I don't care. You can't read on Japanese, f you, Yeah,

(07:25):
this says the priority.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
First there's on the window. Can you read? Yeah, it's
a pictogram and it shows like a pregnant woman and
a man baby stroller.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
So you don't even need to know any language to
get it.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Do you have eyes?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:37):
You know. So finally an old man scolded her and
she said, you don't know what a eye?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:41):
And he said, well, he said, basically, then you shouldn't
be on a Japanese train.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
And this is like the Wow, the woman has turned.
This is the first time you were like that Japanese
old man is talking.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Sense. I don't know what Chinese have against Japan. What
nothing happened ever Japanese when they went there, they weren't really.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
No, not at all. Know that the mayor told me
that never happened, by the way, so well, no, he's
not may or anymore this right, he's uh, he's our
elected representative, so uh alcoholic that you know, he had
good things going for him. He's an alcoholic, so that
kind of puts him in my good books. But I
was like, the.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Show, yeah, yeah, if you've heard these YouTube videos and
a Japanese commercial will come on. But it's a right
wing kind of u yoku. Really you can tell him
by the accident. I mean it's Japanese course, but it's
see if I can get the temper and the tone
right since or no Scott doing that? So basically, do

(08:37):
you know why we really went to Korea during World
War two to help them build houses? Because of your house?
Is there? S? This is total propaganda. I heard the
guy as a young guy.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I have not. I think I skipped those actually have
ad blockers on my YouTube now, not that I'm encouraging
anyone to get them, but I've Yeah, it's like, if
you're interested in politics and you start watching videos about
politics and history. It starts any of all this right
wing stuff, right Stima Truman, and then they talk about
the American imposed constitution that gave us freedom of expression.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Is horrible, horrible, that's why we can't have nice things
like battleships.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
They made his free.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
And so what I just said before Japanese was they
hate Truman. These these commercials, they hate Truman. What did
Truman ever do?

Speaker 2 (09:19):
All?

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Right, A couple of things something else? Yeah, well, I
guess we've covered that. So I was saying, like, when
I talked to Mike about Chinese tourists, he's seeing bad behavior,
of course. But when I was telling my friends from
the States, they just looking at me like I'm a Nazier,
so bigot, and they're like, what have you got against
Chinese peoples? And lived here for a while, and don't
get me started on Japanese cops. Well, I never I've

(09:42):
been here for twelve minutes and I haven't had I
haven't had a problem with a Japanese cop. Oh, okay,
twelve minutes, thirty ten years.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
See that. I've watched ten years of worth of an
anime and I've never seen that in a Japanese anime.
I've never seen a foreigner take we pulled over by
a Japanese cop and a Japanese anime.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
I've watched the prison documentary. I didn't see it. I
didn't see it. Didn't look that bad.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's nicer than prison food us better like sushi. Come on, man,
I just want to say, go on the record, I
love Chinese people, and I've had good times in China,
and they're treating me well here.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I'm fine and so like so when you knew me and.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Me g I'm interested in g thought and no. But
it's just a thing. Yeah, there is a certain thing
in China, Chinese culture that it's not all Chinese people.
It's a small segment of Chinese particularly.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
We have to, you know, preface it. But they're rude
Americans here. I'm one of them. There's they are Route Canaanes,
they are rude Japanese, they are rude Chinese, and there
are rude Chinese. There are some other rude Chinese, and
there's some other.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Rude Chinese, depends on the province.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
I had a girlfriend, she was Chinese, and we broke
up because she didn't like me. Tone all right, Hey, Mark,
Norman comedy. There's an aim Mark Norman now and they
bring them on to kill Tony. It's just a guy
that imitates them. It's just a guy that does a
great job. But he's like and he chooses the room
and the guy goes, well, it goes get up, all right.

(11:02):
I love Mark Norman. He's he's Carlin esque. Also Sam Marril, Oh,
I can't tell the to a part.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't do a podcast.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, so can't tell her voice apart. And they look alike.
Norman is part Sicilian and Maril's Jewish. Mariel's a little
meaner in his stand up, that's any difference. He's kind
of vicious. He's like, you know something like that broke
up with my girlfriend because she had an STD And
she goes, but I got it from you, and he goes, yeah,

(11:30):
but I don't want to get it again.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, that's that's kind of nasty, But you know it's
not people look at everyone to his own.
