What's wrong, Chef Bobby? You look paler than usual. Like scared mayonnaise.
Oh man, my parents want a tour of the place, and I haven't told my dad that I use Japanese Binchotan coals to cook instead of propane.
Emilio, my dad loves four things in life: America, my mom, me, and propane, and when I was a kid, depending on the week, propane would be above me on the list.
So let's take a look at that propane setup.
[noticing charcoal in the grill] Charcoal? Ohh, I get it. This is just for show. Lure in the out-of-towners. The propane's in the back, right?
Dad, dad, dad! I use charcoal to cook. Not propane.
[everyone gasps]
What? But we went over the different systems for hours over the phone! Those were some of the best times we ever spent together. Were all those "uh-huhs" you said after every point I made just lies?
No, I considered propane.
Considered?! It gets worse.
Hello. I'm the owner of Robota Chane, and we'd like to talk to the owner of this fine establishment.
But we spoke to a Mr. Yoshida on the phone.
Dude, don't be a dick. Go get the owner. He's probably a little guy? Black hair?
YYoshida
Get out of my shop!
Look, I get it. You hate your job. Just tell Yoshida we're here.
[Yoshida looks upset]
Chane, I think this is Mr. Yoshida.
YYoshida
I was adopted as a baby by Makoto and Yamamoto Junko, and raised in Japan! I'm Japanese. You think coming in here with some token Japanese guy is going to make me sell out?
YYoshida
Even worse! You think Asians can't steal culture from other Asians? Don't get me started on Hapkido. That shit's just Aikido for Korean.
Mr. Yoshida, please! We've got a restaurant to run, and I'm turning a lot of people on to traditional Binchotan-flavored robata. Now why isn't that a good thing?
You don't understand! I'm down to my last box! I'll have to close my restaurant if I don't get more.
YYoshida
Good! You should have thought of that before you weren't Japanese!
Now I know this guy's Japanese, 'cause he's stubborn as hell! Your loss, dude! We're gonna find another wood burner. Do you know who my father is? Ted Wassanasong.
YYoshida
Did he play for the Tokyo Giants?
What? No. But, he can do anything. In fact, he could start a Binchotan business and drive you out of the state!
YYoshida
Oh yeah? Well, then I'll just sue you for racial discrimination against black small businesses.
You can't play two race cards!
Hijole, the cojones on this guy!
Man, if there was a Laotian martial art, I'd use it to kick your ass!
YYoshida
There is a Laotian martial art. It's called Muay Lao.
Don't tell me about my culture! It's called "suck it!"

You'll work as a team, and make important decisions about the September 2008 housing crisis, during the collapse of the subprime mortgage industry when the government debated the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Would you like to be the president?
... I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will-
TGTour Guide
A simple "yes" would have sufficed. Ma'am, you'll be Fed Chairman John Paulson.
Ho'yeah! I can buy and sell all of you losers.
Sug, can I be the Fannie Mae president? I just like the name Fannie Mae.
And I'll be the head of the shadowy Trilateral Commission, David Rockefeller. [to the man next to him] And you'll be the Queen of England. We all know that the president's just a puppet, and that the queen and Lyndon LaRouche pulled all the strings.
Can you prove that it isn't true? Can you, Hank?
Mr. President to you, Rockefeller.
PPatron
Can I be Epstein?
From Welcome Back, Kotter? No. Why?
FPFemale Patron
Can I be Obama's Kenyan handler?
Obama was born in Hawaii. That's reason enough not to vote for him without making stuff up. [to the guide] Wait, aren't you gonna do anything?
TGTour Guide
Ha. You're the president.
No, not if this group isn't gonna respect the historical accuracy. I might as well stand here and do nothing.
Fine. Vice President it is.
