Jimmy O. Yang & Ronny Chieng Debate the Best and Worst Things Ever | GOAT Talk

[@rodrigogutierrezreyes4702]

Bro, Ronny saying that the GOAT martial arts move is running away, is the realest thing

[@yeetkunedo]

Was just coming on to say that. *_THAT STATEMENT_* is the sign of an _actual_ martial artist.

[@Iseeization]

Yes! My karate teacher told us that in a real situation, we should keep our distance.

[@truerthanyouknow9456]

These guys are impressively appreciative of the cultural contributions of black entertainers.

[@ajtkyqa]

saw that too

[@LazyManEx]

Trust me, a lot of Asian kids grew up on black sitcoms and comedians.

[@random-fish]

Truly. Cute that Ronny called Martin a "deep cut," hahaha. I wish someone would s/o _Roc,_ when it was live performance, not taped. I think that's a deep cut in levels.

gotta love this segment between Jimmy & Ronny. still waiting for the perfect reunion of Crazy Rich Asians 2.

[@fliya]

Ronny’s answer to WOAT thing in America is spot on 👍

[@Jesse-gx7mn]

Ronny is spot on about America looking outside to be better, spot on!

[@s70driver2005]

Exactly!!! We think we do everything the best but can't see past our noses!!!

[@Studeb]

Not embracing the Metric system is a great example. It would improve future generations, but Americans are so much about themselves.

[@GinoSavage]

They answered that killing question real quick and with detail😂😂😂.

[@Iamme88-b4j]

Thats my malaysian boy right there!!!! Proud of you! Ronnie! The three goat from malaysia ronnie,michelle and nigel!

Really.... Nigel? You gotta be kidding me..... Don't lump him with them.... You MUST be Gen Alpha

[@markzzzzberg1312]

Michelle and Ronnie have totally inspiring battle scars and make me super proud overseas OH YES but who is Nigel?

The "three GOATs" of Malaysia-*brain drain*, *Islam*, and *Malaysian politics*-are arguably the most defining, and at times, problematic forces shaping the nation’s present and future trajectory. To frame them as the "Greatest of All Time" may seem tongue-in-cheek, yet each of these elements exerts a profound influence, both positive and negative, on the country’s development. First, we encounter the issue of *brain drain*, a phenomenon that has plagued Malaysia for years. The country’s most skilled and talented workers, particularly from sectors like technology, medicine, and academia, often seek better opportunities abroad, driven by the allure of more competitive wages, political stability, and favorable living conditions. For those living in areas like Johor Bahru, the proximity to Singapore further exacerbates this exodus. The result is a significant depletion of human capital, which, in turn, hampers Malaysia’s potential for innovation and long-term growth. This "brain drain" has reached an almost *iconic* status as one of the nation’s most pressing issues, depriving the country of the very talent needed to fuel its future progress. Next, *Islam* stands as a central and complex force in Malaysian society and politics. As the official state religion, Islam permeates the legal framework, public policies, and societal norms, often creating a dichotomy between the privileges afforded to Muslims and the marginalization of non-Muslim communities. Muslims, for example, enjoy various incentives-such as preferential access to education, housing, and employment-while non-Muslims, including Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus, often find themselves excluded from these same benefits. The role of Islam in public life can therefore be both unifying and divisive: for Muslims, it serves as a foundation of identity and a source of solidarity, while for non-Muslims, it can perpetuate a sense of inequality and exclusion. The challenge, then, lies in finding a balance that respects Malaysia’s diverse religious landscape while ensuring fairness for all its citizens. Finally, we turn to *Malaysian politics*, which, much like the previous two factors, is heavily influenced by ethnicity and religion. The political system, historically dominated by the Malay majority, often reflects an inherent bias towards Malay interests, regardless of qualifications or merit. This has created a situation where political power is frequently skewed in favor of one ethnic group, leaving the Chinese, Indian, and other minority communities at a disadvantage. The interplay between race, religion, and politics in Malaysia remains fraught with tension, as the country struggles to reconcile its diverse population with the political structures that govern it. If Malaysia is to thrive as a unified nation, it must confront the challenges of political bias and work towards a more inclusive system where meritocracy and equal opportunity are the guiding principles. In summary, the "GOATs" of Malaysia-*brain drain*, *Islam*, and *Malaysian politics*-are inextricably linked to the nation’s development and identity. While each of these forces has contributed to Malaysia’s growth and success, they also present significant challenges that must be addressed in order to foster a more equitable and prosperous future. Whether through addressing the outflow of talent, ensuring fair treatment of all religious communities, or recalibrating political structures to promote inclusivity, the way forward for Malaysia depends on navigating these complex issues with wisdom and a commitment to fairness.

True about MSG. Found in kelps. Also found in Doritos and many other chips and seasoned salt. Interesting watching those people saying they cannot have Chinese food because they're allergic to MSG while munching on Doritos.

[@TheDrag0nSlayer]

It's bizarre how racism can impact your flavor experience. Watch those bigots heads spin when they find out that MSG is the reason they love ranch dressing so much.

[@jameslaw4849]

I love their mutual reference to the Paul Newman Daytona and am surprised that they did not immediately give a shout out to the fact that the same model was given a prominent placement in the Crazy Rich Asians movie that they were both in.

I adore him too, but Andy Lau is my GOAT.

[@firepootz1]

Conan is the G.O.A.T of talk show hosts 😊

[@AL__EX]

and it's not even close for me. he was the best over 2 generations of talk show hosts. for most of their careers, Leno and Letterman only had each other to compete with. Conan's career intertwined with Leno, Letterman, Ferguson, Stewart, Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert, Myers, and he was still the king in my eyes.

[@itsPOPROX]

Somebody send this to Bobby Lee. He'll love it 😂😂

[@davidsykes6584]

Great talk, I love them both, and their chemistry is awesome. But the GOAT comedian(s) is definitely a tie between George Carlin and Richard Pryor.

[@WeiqiSub]

Bill Burr and Dave C are right on the money. Pryor .. ok

[@rgsanchez317]

Dave Chapelle is in a class of his own.

[@koog008]

The convo should only be between burr and Chapelle. For me it's burr. Pryor is just bad. He's not even funny. Carlin one of the greats.

[@marinas611]

Oh! Ronny missed the perfect opportunity to say that Hasan Minhaj is the W Comedian 😂😂😂😂. I know the beef is not true, but I would have laughed so hard. Anyway, I love these two.

[@jaydee8872]

I Love Lucy is the GOAT sitcom…set the bar for everything that followed it.

[@ellegaunt]

not a bad take

[@ktbiwk]

100% and a great observation too! Seinfeld is #1 amongst most gen X and got old towards the end, even described that way by the Seinfeld himself [paraphrasing] every joke had been told repeatedly and everybody knew what everyone's response was going to be and it was just...done. I think Seinfeld's stand up alone is better than that sitcom was, but I suppose that wasn't the genre of the question LOL.

[@KP43-08]

Yup Martin is the greatest sitcom ever! It’s his personal opinion 1:37

Far from it. You need to get their humour to know they're on the same wavelength and enjoy ribbing with each other. Also they wouldn’t know so much about each other’s interests and been to their homes, if they really disliked each other.
