Actually, I don't have an addictive personality, so that's why, even with gambling, I could just cut it off.

I'd be like, nah, I took an L here.

I'm done, bro.

I'm not going to try to fight it back, bro.

I like to watch my NBA or I'm watching anime.

The thing with me is like, I did play competitive, dude.

Growing up, I was playing travel basketball.

I played for my high school freshman team, junior varsity team.

My junior year, I had an injury on my ankle and heel, actually, so that's when I had to stop playing basketball.

Honestly, what I'm trying to do is get my body right, bro.

Honestly, yeah, too much content.

And what happened was like the body fat percentage started going up.

okay guys we got edward so here today at celebrity poker tournament what happened man damn bro today was actually my first time ever playing poker

honestly it was my first time so i was learning as i was playing actually but um uh in the beginning i think i had beginner's luck i did good and then you know what i ran out of luck bro i ran out of luck yeah what'd you go all in with what hand uh to be honest i gotta look at my wallpaper again i don't even know what hand i had bro i had on my uh like screensaver saved of like all the different combinations and stuff so you're not big on gambling nah i don't gamble bro i don't really gamble

The last time I gambled was actually the Super Bowl, but that was like after a long break of not gambling ever.

I like to stay away because I feel like it's a bad rabbit hole.

I feel that.

Do you have an addictive personality?

No, actually, I don't have an addictive personality.

So that's why, you know, even with gambling, I could just cut it off.

I'd be like, nah, I took an L here.

I'm done, bro.

I'm not going to try to fight it back, bro.

So, yeah.

Damn, you don't have like a, because you collect sneakers, right?

I do like shoes, yes, yes, yes.

How many pairs you got?

See, I don't even think I have that many shoes for a sneakerhead.

You know,

off the top of my head, maybe like 30, 40 pairs of shoes.

That's not bad.

Yeah, it's okay.

Maybe, maybe to some people, that's a lot.

Maybe to some, that's a little.

I think that's okay.

You know, I wouldn't claim myself a sneakerhead with a 30.

Yeah, for a sneakerhead, I would picture 100 plus.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's nowhere near that.

Nah, no, no, 100 is crazy.

So you focus on quality over quantity.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm very picky.

I'm not going to just buy a shoe just to, like, I don't know.

I'm very particular now.

I feel though.

Yeah.

What are you spending a majority of your time on?

You watching a lot of anime these days?

What the?

Yes, actually.

I did my research.

What the fuck?

Yes, yes, yes.

Actually, yeah.

Anytime I have free time,

you know.

The Tri-Light from Therisage is no joke.

Medical grade red and near-infrared light with three frequencies per light, deep healing, real results, and totally portable.

It's legit.

Photo biomodulation tech in a flexible on-body panel.

This is the Tri-Light from Therasage and it's next level red light therapy.

It's got 118 high-powered polychromatic lights, each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near-infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers.

It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it.

I like to watch, you know, NBA or I'm watching anime.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I watch NBA highlights.

I don't have the attention span to watch the whole game.

Yeah, no, recently, it's actually been highlights for me, too.

But, like, during the finals, that's when I like tuned in more here and there.

But yeah, during the regular season, it's just highlights here and there.

Let's get into some NBA takes then.

Okay.

Who's your team?

Any team LeBron James is on, bro.

You're LeBron.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.

Honestly, dude.

Yeah, I'm sorry, bro.

Yeah, anytime.

Is LeBron the GOAT?

LeBron's my GOAT, yeah.

He's the GOAT.

He's the GOAT.

He's the GOAT.

I don't give a fuck what anybody says, bro.

LeBron's the GOAT, bro.

The longevity, bro, of his career, like what he's done, most points scored.

He can do it all.

You know, people can say, I'm the glazing right now.

I don't give a fuck, bro.

He's the GOAT.

What about his finals record?

Oh, his finals record?

Look, the fact that the man even went to the finals that many times in itself is already record-breaking.

So, you know what?

It doesn't matter, bro.

He took his team there, bro.

He took his team there.

All right.

You hold your ground.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You got MJ number two, then?

You know what?

Some people might crucify me for that, but I will say MJ number two, yes.

But I still respect MJ.

Yeah, a lot of respect.

Round out the top five who you got all Kobe?

Off the top of my head, okay.

You know, LeBron won.

MJ two.

This is what we're doing, like personal favorites.

I would say.

Or just like who I think is like the greatest in history.

What do you think the greatest five players ever in basketball are in history?

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, the greatest.

So, yeah, okay.

I'm gonna just continue from where I left off.

Number three,

let's put Kobe.

Okay.

Number four,

let's put Kareem.

And then number five, this might be a hot take, maybe not.

I want to put Shaq, but you know what?

I'm going to say Steph, bro.

I hate Steph, but I've grown to respect Steph a lot for what he's done for the game, dude.

Wow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I hate Steph, but I respect his game.

Honestly.

And you can't deny he changed the game.

Yeah, bro.

Like, I'll say this.

Like, four years ago, you know, I was working at a summer camp with kids, right?

And then, like, you know, there was like a basketball time, whatever.

And, like, the kids were just like pulling up, doing threes because of Steph.

Like, I realized, like, you know, just the cultural impact and also his accolades speak for itself.

You know, I think,

you know,

people could argue, you know, the five spot for him.

So I'll put him up there.

He's the greatest shooter.

Yeah, he's the greatest shooter of all time.

All time.

So, you know, I feel like you know.

Are you hooping a lot these days?

Ah, these days?

Nah, bro.

Too many cookies, you know, too much stream.

Nah, not hooping.

I'm doing the quite opposite, actually.

Yeah, it's not looking good, bro.

IRL streams.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, you know, I would like to hoop more,

but lately, I haven't had that much time for hooping, bro.

But that's my favorite.

But if you stream the hoops, then you can make it a win-win.

Oh, honestly, I could do that, actually.

Yeah, Neon does that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've actually played against Neon actually before.

I was just going to ask if you could play him one-on-one, who would win?

Oh, against Neon?

Yeah.

Bro, I'm cooking his ass, bro.

What the fuck?

I don't give a fuck.

He's got a a jump shot.

Dude, I've met him in person, bro.

The dude, look, bro.

He's not stopping me one-on-one.

I'm sorry.

Like, you know, respect to Neon.

He probably does have a better jump shot than me.

Actually, I did see him shoot a couple times, but nah, I'm beating him one-on-one.

What about you and Aiden Ross one-on-one?

Oh, bro.

I'm beating Aiden Ross too.

I don't give a fuck, bro.

I'm beating Aiden too.

Bro, I don't think Aiden even hoops.

I don't think he does.

The only hoops he does is 2K.

In real life, he's not beating me.

Damn, so you nice.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm not nice.

They just trap.

Yeah, I'm not nice, bro.

Yeah.

Did you play like competitive ever?

Like high school or college?

The thing with me is like, you know, I did play competitive, dude.

Growing up, I was playing travel basketball, you know.

A little bit of AU, just a little bit, you know.

I played for my high school freshman team,

varsity team.

Junior varsity team, actually, yeah.

But varsity-wise, you know,

my junior year, you know, I had a injury on my ankle and heel, actually, so that's when I had to stop playing basketball.

But if it had not been for that, I would have been playing, you know, varsity all four years.

Yeah,

you roll it really bad, or

there was like a crack in my heel.

Some shit happened, bro.

Yeah, dude.

So I had to step away from the game, you know.

The varsity coach actually took me to the side one day and was like, We need you because of your like leadership and grit and everything.

But I was like, you know, coach, I have to make a tough, tough decision here.

And I'm as an agent, I think I got to lock in with the academics, the heel.

I can't do anything about it.

You know, and the growth spurt started, you know, the growth spurt,

it hit its peak.

So, you know, I had to, yeah, I had to have a re-evaluation moment.

Yeah.

Yeah, you did.

Yeah.

High school?

Yeah.

Peaked?

Yeah.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Nah, I don't think I'm, you know, I peaked at high school now.

High-wise.

Oh, high-wise?

Oh, high-wise.

Yeah, I did.

I did.

You know, the trajectory I was growing, actually, like, in the seventh, eighth grade, I was like, so my parents are actually both 5'5.

So then, you know, I'm 5'10 and a half.

But, like, in like the 7th, 8th grade, I was already like 5'9, 5'10.

So I was like, yo, at the 7th, 8th grade, like at this rate, I might be as tall as Yao Ming at this trajectory.

Yeah, I was really ambitious.

You know, I was like, yo, I might make it to the league you know but then the junior year hit me and then um uh i kept that like half an inch more like five ten and a half so then at that moment that's when i had to reevaluate yeah that ain't bad for korean though five ten and a half yeah oh yeah no i'm blessed yeah i'm telling you dude my parents are both five five i'm blessed so i can't complain i really can't what were they feeding you

a lot of steak and chicken pulgogi you know the core shit here and there you know um but hey that mixed in with the the sports and stuff like that really helped dude i fuck with korean food yeah it's in my top five what's your favorite type of korean food though bugoji Is that Bugoji?

Yeah.

Hold on, let me correct you right there, bro.

It's pugogi.

Oh, my God.

My God, yeah.

Bulgogi.

Yeah, if you had a table full of

what's your ethnicity?

I'm half Chinese, half Irish.

Okay, never mind.

Okay, okay, never mind.

Yeah, yeah.

Why?

Huh?

What?

No, no, no.

I love the Chinese.

I just thought you were full Caucasian for a second.

I had a hunch that you might be mixed Wasian maybe, but you know, I was thinking also, you know, he might be Caucasian, so I'm going to let the Bulgogi slide a little bit, you know.

So even though it's half Asian, it doesn't slide?

Yeah, it doesn't slide, bro.

Come on, bro.

You gotta do better, do it.

You're half Asian, exactly, bro.

Well, Korean barbecues are fire.

Yeah, no, it's great.

That's my jam.

Yeah, Kybi's my favorite.

That's how you say it?

Kaibi?

Kylbi.

Kaibi.

Yeah.

But, you know, sometimes around, you know, if I go out and get KBBQ with my Caucasian friends, they say the galbi.

That, you know, see, when Koreans hear that, you know, we let it slide depending on, you know, who's saying it.

But it's the correct pronunciation is Kylbi.

Damn.

Yeah, bro.

It's actually with the K, but it's spelled the G, so, you know, a lot of Americans, they mispronounce it.

Okay, okay.

I go to hot pot once a week.

Hot pot?

Korean hot pot.

Really?

Yeah, my girl fucks with it.

Okay.

Yeah, hot pot to me, honestly, hot pot's cool.

It's probably healthier, but I like the char from the KBBQ.

So if I had to pick, I'm going KBBQ.

Yeah, if I had to pick, I'd go KBBQ.

Yeah, hot pot's not bad, man.

You're a little sick, you walk in there, you're living in that place without a runny nose.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.

But at that point, then wouldn't you just get like pho or something like that?

Do you like pho over hot pot?

Oh, nah, hot pot's good.

Hot pot's good.

But, you know, I feel like when you're sick, pho just helps better, no?

Or is it hot pot?

Yeah, pho and chicken noodle soup or what's the matzo ball soup, the Jewish one?

Yeah.

Oh, no, I never had wait, masabella soup.

Matzabal soup, you never had that?

No, this is my first time here.

Next time you're sick, get that shit.

Masabella.

Jewish deli.

Ordered on Postmates.

Oh, okay.

I'm gonna keep that in mind.

Masabelli.

Masha's not bad if you're sick, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, phu's great, bro.

Even like after a hangover and stuff like that, phu is like the go-to, you know?

I need to get out to South Korea.

Sounds like a fun time.

You've never been?

Never been.

Really?

You were just there, right?

I was just there actually like a few weeks ago, yes.

I saw you fighting Korean zombie.

Oh, yeah, bro.

Yeah.

You know, I watched a couple UFC ufc fights i'm thinking i could do it he's retired bro no he kicked my ass yeah i got humbled bro i got humble he put me in the twister oh my gosh yeah that sounds like sean strickland beating up uh yeah what was it sneezo yeah bro dude ufc ufc fighters when they like you know um fight against like creators or just people they don't hold back bro yeah like they actually you know got that killer instinct yeah it's never off it's never off bro so i learned my lesson actually yeah he got you in a chokehold dude he put me in like the twister and honestly it felt like a chiropractor session like i i heard a couple pops in my back i'm I'm gonna hold on now.

That's when I tapped up.

I didn't give a fuck if I was on camera.

I tapped up, bro.

Yeah, I was like, yeah, no, he got it, bro.

Well, what's next for you, man?

What's next?

I don't know, dude.

I don't know.

Maybe, you know.

Honestly, what I'm trying to do is get my body right, bro.

Honestly.

Yeah, too much content.

And what happened was like

the body fat percentage started going up.

What's your body fat percent?

Ah, fuck that.

It used to be like 13, maybe like at its prime, like 12, which is pretty good, bro.

It's not bad.

Yeah, but, you know, recently, the cookies, bro, it just went up to 17.

Damn, you pushing 20%, my guy.

Yeah, I know, bro.

You know, I got mad at myself, dude.

So I was like, you know, I got to stop.

But then again, bro, I just got more cookies the other day.

So it's like, it doesn't stop, bro.

It doesn't stop me.

You got Crumble Cookies?

No.

Oh, my God.

Crumble?

Bro, look, let me say this about Crumble, bro.

Crumble cookie, they could come to me with 10, 20, 30, 40,000, bro.

I'm not taking that sponsor shit, dude.

I don't like crumble cookie.

That's the most overrated cookie in the world.

I don't care, bro.

What?

I'm going to say it right now.

Actually, if it's promoting their brownie, if it's promoting their brownies, we could talk.

If it's a different dish, like a tiramisu or brownie, we could talk.

But if it's for their cookie, yeah, get the cookie out my face, bro.

So what's your go-to cookie spot then?

Oh, my go-to cookie spot.

There's a spot called,

there's two spots, actually, off the top of my head I can think of.

There's a chain called Levain.

Okay.

Maybe, you know, maybe not.

They have like these like real, like, it's a big cookie, and it has like a very crispy outer part, right?

Like, I think it started in New York, if I'm not mistaken, but Levain Bakery is one.

Maybe I'm wrong.

And then two, I found one recently in California.

It's like Beverly Hills Cookie.

Something like that.

I think there's only one spot, but they make really good cookies, too.

Yeah, but crumble cookie, bro.

I'm so good on crumble cookie, dude.

That to me is like the, you know, growing up, like when it's a kid's birthday party or whatever, like the mom brings in those little fucking dough cookies and shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what it takes, like, but then they add like a 10x markup to it.

Dude, I'm not paying the 10x markup for this garbage, bro.

Yeah, it's like a thousand calories.

A thousand calories for this garbage, dude.

I'm not wasting my cat or the calorie space for this fucking garbage.

Yeah, I feel that, man.

Well,

have fun in Vegas, man.

Don't get too drunk tonight, all right?
