[@DMMinthehouse]

maybe it's cause im older but i love hearing the business side of shit. This was so awesome and so real! I recently saw ryan higas podcast with michelle phan and felt the same way. I'm kinda getting tired of youtubers putting up a front, showing their life, so it's nice to hear the back side of shit and how much work went into it. Definitely will listen to the podcast

[@flo4606]

Yeah, I agree. Its like the whole audience that grows up with the content creators they've been following for several years

[@mspinkbubbles94]

yeah I feel the same way! and I too watched that recent podcast from Ryan Higa

[@jesskhan09]

I more interested in the business side too. Back in the days it was more fun. But I’m ok with that. I’m maturing.

[@rossnguyenfavorites5375]

Same here! Hearing the business side inspires me to own my own business.

[@kirawrxD]

surprised david didn't shout "IM SO SORREYYY" after coughing on them thai chiles

[@yeeleng6449]

That’s only for Tim to hear

[@flowervanessa]

It probably didn't make the final cut! haha just kidding :^)

[@mizzchocolate94]

David is a rude obnoxious person. Never invite him again King Fu

[@ttrinh25]

the collab we never knew we needed!!!! been waiting to see JK appearances on lunch break 🙏🙏🙏

[@khavinhtran]

This is the collab I ALWAYS knew I needed!

[@sjappiyah4071]

T saaaaame

[@johnson2761]

been to bopomofo about 10 times in a span of a month since it is so close to school. great food. love their taiwanese fried chicken and mapo tots. phil is there often and is always kind enough to take a pic with his fans.

[@c.x.661]

The thing that I love about Bart and David is that they are so authentic. They are always themselves whether on or off screen. They have inspired me to own a business one day.

[@angelaswift9908]

Too much cursing I think it makes Phil feel uncomfortable to a certain extent but then again he curses too so many potty mouths

[@heyfillium]

this was too short! I'd love to hear a podcast with you guys as asian business owners/starters!

[@Arely0721]

"Cuz you've had trash your whole life"... i almost chocked on my lunch! lol

[@chai_knees2109]

FINALLY DAVID SO CAME ON LUNCH BREAK IM SO HAPPY

[@kericwu]

Both Bart and David 😄

[@neilrischl9569]

Did David lose a lot of weight?

[@sjappiyah4071]

Neil Rischl yup

[@toaiguongjin2604]

Neil Rischl David look lot better now with style n class too, oh wow, what a change but he needs lose some more 15 pounds to lose to great due he's already tall, tone up, tight stomach, then he can be sexy as me too especially old age 58 of me but I've got big nice Asian eyes than his jinky eyes, hihihih.

[@toaiguongjin2604]

sociallyineptpotato JK is anti commie freaks, that's why I haven't watched their 10 years now, I blame mostly on American mainstream medias, spewing garbage, hate n divisionness n insults against among Asians, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, communist, immigrants, Indians, black, Muslim, Arab, jews etc. . Causing whole world bloody mess especially in Hong Kong now, last year in communist Vietnam etc..etc...

[@dunyamedia]

I could watch a TON more of these business-y talks. And from the comments it seems like I’m not alone. - the original WF audience is older now and thinks about this stuff all the time!

[@SerjEpic]

Ryan Higa just did a podcast with Michelle Phan and they talked a lot about business Here is the Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4ildnpmlraFkKM

[@427Ktown]

anyone notice how there wasn't any music playing during this discussion? I appreciated that.

[@kagewar]

Seriously loved this lunch break. I would love more of this type of content.

[@Jaki-]

Of course Bart is the first one to go straight into his burger 😂

[@Baklucky]

Aye i see that Metal straw! way to look out for the environment! Props!

[@ariel3725]

Phil: no need to censor yourselves David: Penis Phil: this is a very, very, very BIG special episode, I think a long time COMING 🤭🤭🤭

[@ProNinjaBoy88]

9:41 David: what would she do with 2 1/2 db?? Phil: beginners, u know? Bart: Keep her papers from flying away OMG IM DEAD

[@scottsmit1115]

Bart team should have asked the right questions from the start. Maybe they would have gotten a 5 stars review.

[@canza]

5:56 Wongfu had to cut Bart's comment on her mom's cooking real quick lol

[@markie1260]

LOOOOLLLLL i fucking died

[@thaipham4955]

I didnt notice until you said something 🤣

[@BlueGlow26]

@The Bridge his father is Cantonese and his mother is Taiwanese, definitely ethnically Chinese

[@eltina21]

@The Bridge Bart probably said his mom's cooking sucks

[@aigerimtj]

Thank you for bringing Bart and David! Bring them more often.

[@carol-annvandelisle3975]

OMG, David on WF hahaha. Get ready for a whole lot of the censored bleeps XD

[@Superpower089]

surprisingly they didnt swearswear that much hahaha

[@wailingster]

Please create more vids on being entrepreneurs, investing, and etc. Thanks for the awesome vid!

[@pfguo87]

Yo THANK YOU! That's what I'm talking about! You guys should just start up a business playlist up on this channel, and add videos like this and the bopomofocafe part 1 to it now haha.

[@philfan9928]

when i saw that orange drink i immediately thought back to Mandarin Juice 🤣🤣🤣

[@lostfangurl]

i like your photo

[@philfan9928]

@@lostfangurl haha i love philly

[@matthewl5411]

Bart kwan in wong fu bachellorette video.

[@pinkie2893]

This, by far, is my favorite lunch break. So good to hear all of the perspectives

[@TamNguyen-jj4fv]

This Lunch Break was very inspiring to me! I learned that there’s more to opening up a business than people give credit to it! I also want to open up my own restaurant in the future so thank you everybody @ WongFu, Bopomofo, Just Kidding Films/News, and David So!😁

[@itsjocex33]

Aww I loved this episode!! The bond you guys share as OGs really shows and I love how you guys are coming together after becoming business owners all these years and sharing tips. Inspiring!!

[@FIyingDumpling]

I once had a really passive aggressive owner confront me via yelp for leaving a three star review. My rating was based on my first impression which entailed me desperately trying not to choke on the steak I was eating therefore, I didn’t think they deserve a 4 star, but I said I was willing to go back and try something else. Reasonable? Not to the owner, he seemed to think he could do no wrong. He said that because I didn’t tell him in person that his food sucked so that he could fix it, it was somehow not an honest review? The dish itself was already expensive, it’ll be presumptuous of me to think they could make another one for free. Also - how can you expect someone to be honest about your food IN PERSON when you responded so viciously online to a fair review? Made me want to go back and change my rating, his attitude was a 1 ⭐️

[@Allyisyourhero]

Nice to see a more mature and in depth topic on lunch break! The quizzes and games are fun sometimes, but I like it when you guys really delve into a topic!

[@deragenfox3624]

Eric Wang rocking nigahiga's ninja melk cap, nice.

[@pepsidude2007]

David kept on touching Bart biceps "thinking he my man Geo" 🤣

[@jonathanvuong7327]

pepsidude2007 so funny

[@nickandrosie]

David and his Thai chilli relation is Dope . "I'm so Sorry" haha lol

[@heykittyqueen]

Loved this episode; it was insightful and interesting to hear. Thanks for all the work you've put into the communities you come from and build! Best wishes~

[@rocketman3770]

David So speaking mad coherently and cogent with all his points. Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@TheFellowYellow]

This was so insightful as a small business owner! Hope there are more lunch break episodes for this kind of topic! Only just scratched the surface and loving the wisdom and experience!

[@VH07V]

The timing for this couldn't have been more perfect. Currently in negotiations for a retail space here in Hawaii. Great tips and advice for this first time brick and mortar wanna-be... Mahalo!

[@kagewar]

Also btw love Bart! Seems like such a genuine guy.

[@imachi1098]

As a Taiwanese, I love the name of their Boba shop so much. Bopomofo is such a brilliant name >.

[@JacquelynSon]

now this is quality contentttttttt, so helpful to me as a business owner in the early stages! Thanks for sharing!

[@Briana-li]

It’s about time to see JK or David So on Lunch Break!

[@ericl4778]

Nail on the head of issues and hardships of new businesses. Love bopomofo @phil! And love barbell brigade @bart! Keep up the good work guys! :)

[@maia-roll]

Loved this episode! I work in a small restaurant and work very closely with the owner. A lot of what you discussed are lessons I've learned or experiences I have encountered. Loved listening to other viewpoints on owning a business!

[@shonwon]

this should have been a longer episode, i feel like there is much more to learn from the four of you

[@crystalcheng7259]

HappyStrongHealthy there is a longer uncut version on spotify! Check the video description above for more information :)

[@shonwon]

@@crystalcheng7259 Thanks!

[@xzirbo]

This has got to be my favorite lunch break episode ever!

[@hangdiana]

I think it's great that jk and wongfu is expanding beyond YT since the future and ad is so unstable. Hope one day I'll be able to visit these places.

[@cierragallarza]

YEEEESSSS FINALLLYYYY!!!! David and Bart shoulda been on a loooong time ago🙌🏼

[@shu8634]

You guys were all blessings to our KZbin entertainment while growing up!

[@abc.garage]

I'm in the process in building an audience on KZbin and this whole 14 minute video is gold!

[@o2krzy]

love this kind of content, please keep the business-oriented side of videos going!

[@Justin-ev8nn]

Still waiting for a lunch break with Ashley again :(

[@starlight-hm4dr]

Loving how Phil is using a metal straw!

[@EvosBasics]

as someone who also had a small business, this video is super relatable and great to hear. Cheers!

[@soobin12345]

DAVID IS SO SKINNY

[@ClassyJohn]

I'll be honest: I am one of those people who leaves negative yelp reviews after I leave the place. Yes, David, while I understand that you prefer if the customer would address it then and there rather than going to complain on yelp, not every business owner is like that. In fact, the employees are not going to like that most of the time. Its the food business. If I were to complain that the portion sizes are smaller now compared to the 6-7 times I've been here, that employee will give me attitude or do something weird to my food (spit in it, pee in it, whatever). As someone who eats out a lot, I only leave a negative review for less than 5% of all my dining experiences. I've left reviews for a lady who didn't give me a receipt and took my $20 on a $5 receipt without giving me change back (then lying about it), food portions being drastically less yet prices being higher, and any drastic changes in the food product that essentially changed how it tasted. I maintain my right to post a negative review about a food establishment because it keeps the business honest.

[@oscarmarroquin4374]

Nah you're just a non confrontational person , proven by your own admission of letting someone keep your change. Lol

[@NeverEndingWorldTour]

Asian OG tubers starting podcasts and physical businesses! Woooo

[@ahyoung]

this video is so relatable. Thank you for being so open!

[@ellec5223]

hello mwf, thank you for this chat with mr. kwan, mr. so, and mr. wang. business owners of our food to how is it today on youtube with ads. there was a photo bleep of something not clear but living in nyc - friends get podcast on their ipods to hear it. just didn't want to take my break with a photo bleep at my desk. Elle for Soju in plastic

[@bobbychase5616]

i wana find partners that i can trick into naming a business with my initials.. ie: Drips & Swirls 🍦👍

[@JayJay-cw3cg]

WHY DOES THE SOUND KEEP JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE HMMMMMMM

[@MSNOW2000]

*walks into weightlifting gym* "weights are too heavy"

[@illzilla99]

This was beyond insightful. I can see myself coming back to this video just to get more hip to the game.

[@Kruuppe]

amazing video! Love seeing stuff like this so keep making this kind of content please :)

[@barbells_and_guitars]

There's no substitute for hard work. Respect to all of you!

[@AntBohol]

“Joe is crying outside” 🤣🤣🤣

[@Itzyyari07]

He’s wearing a ninja melk hat!

[@howardahhon7600]

All the best and wishing all you guys a "PROSPEROUS" one!!!

[@kqxx]

Love this! It's so interesting to hear the business side of things.

[@ooossssss]

Woah its weird thinking back I had random encounters with you guys in the past and then seeing you all in one video. David on a flight from SF to LA, Phil at a Ten Ren's, and Bart at a crosswalk in Pasadena. lol

[@HiguchiTCG]

I totally understand what David is talking about. I hate people who start customizing a chefs signature dish and at the end they would say that they didn’t like it. Just eat it the way it’s supposed to be served.

[@Eddiemo00]

I wish I lived in Cali so I could help out their businesses

[@SydneyKong]

24 hour fitness do not have 2 lb or 2.5 lb dumbbells. i think the lightest they have is a 5 lb weight. ik because i go to 24 hour almost everyday

Loved this lunch break! More topics like this please!

[@User-is2kf]

Where is joe? Hahaha

[@jsherpa25]

Fuck yeah Bart and David is here!

[@drarara13]

Great convo! More of these kind of stuff pls :)

[@stoplightslaw]

This was really cool! Wish they discussed more about the biz side of how they do things more. So insightful! Clearly there was a lot of good discussion that couldn't be fit into a 15 min vid. So much editing on this one lol...It's unteresting to hear all about the trials n tribulations about running a biz. This could be a whole series...thx for finally inviting the JK guys.

[@pichaliiiin]

They also upload the whole thing as a podcast, link is on the description box :)

[@ThisIsJoe11]

Thanks so much for this video!!

[@pedro55845]

This brings me new perspective to local business who are successful

[@anojansmart]

6:01 Bart was about to talk some shit about his mom's cooking but the editor cut it out LOL

[@562nestorgm]

It’s the same with Mexican food every state in Mexico has a twist to tamales, carnitas, tacos, and TJ, and LA tacos ain’t the same if you have a 5 star chef who’s Mexican roots; he will try to change things and make it more exotic than what it is !!

[@JasonLeckie]

Needed to see this, thanks guys!!

[@Tatiluvsmusic1]

I've never been so early! I actually relate to this on a very personal level, so it was so cool to see that other business owners felt the same way!

[@lucyhorikawa7003]

It’s interesting how David says customer service is key and that’s how he feels about restaurants anyways, cause I remember him countless times saying he doesn’t care how the service treats him as long as the food is good

[@junkinavi]

Lucy Hathaway he probably doesn't mind it himself but to have a successful and reputable business customer service is vital for it.

[@nora5714]

Love this Collab! David So hire me!!! I'm the person your looking for- good person that talk shit!! Bart with his sweet bye. BbbyyyiiiEEE

[@vanessahua4326]

BART AND DAVID 🤩🤩

[@VictoriaDoose]

This was very interesting and I appreciated everyone's perspectives!

[@S2sparkleS2]

I think customers don’t want to say, “Can you please make this again” bc they’re scared that the employees will spit in the food no matter how nicely you say it.

[@AntBohol]

I get that BUT, that only happens when customers don’t ask properly. There’s always a way of going about things. I never shy away from asking what I want but, I’m also mindful about how I ask them. I just imagine how I would want to be asked for a favor instead of treating servers differently.

[@jeffdaman6969]

Agreed.

[@dishingoutls8137]

@@AntBohol of course they people should ask nicely but people shouldn't spit in somebody's food regardless of how mean they are.
