Who are we meeting today?
So we are meeting a guy called Joon Lee Comedy,
who I've been following on Instagram for a while.
Interesting surname.
Shut up.
As far as I can tell, he's obsessed with breakfast burritos.
Here he is.
Hey, long time.
Hello.
- Long time. - Nice to meet you.
Long time coming.
Josh said that your surname is “comedy.”
- That's not exactly what I said. - Which is amazingly convenient.
It is, it is.
It's Joon Comedy Lee.
Oh, middle name.
I don't have my passport on me but it is what I said.
I believe you.
Oh, this is it. I love this.
I would recommend... I just get the bacon.
Every breakfast burrito is a little bit different, but it has eggs, hashbrown.
Hashbrown.
Have you tried a breakfast burrito?
It is our first time.
They don't exist in London.
Hey guys.
How you doing?
Did we come to the right place to try our first breakfast burrito?
Yeah, we just got voted number one.
You were voted number one?
This is one of my top spots.
In LA?
Yeah.
Breakfast burritos presumably come from California.
It's not a traditional Mexican food, right?
It's American.
They would have their own thing to say about it. I'm sure.
Okay. Fair enough.
So you got the steak, the chorizo, pastrami, vegetarian, vegan.
What do you want?
I'm gonna get bacon.
Your gonna get bacon so we need at least 2 bacon. Let's get 3 bacon, I reckon.
You guys want everything as it is? Is that cool?
We're trusting you.
Where you guys from?
London.
I'm planning to visit this summer.
I've never been.
Are there good places I should go to?
Breakfast burritos I should get there?
No, definitely not.
If you see someone selling a breakfast burrito in London, don't trust them.
Untrustworthy.
Good to meet you guys.
Nice to meet you.
So we're going to my friend's apartment where I have the keys to.
I think he has a patio area, a lounge area but it's uh...
Rich friend.
Rich friends, get your rich friends.
Get your rich...
Oh, that's the best life advice.
First bit of dollar store advice from Joon today.
Get your rich friends.
Welcome to my crib.
- Your rich friend's crib. - This is so nice.
Get your rich friends, man.
Alright, let's have some food.
Yeah, let's do it!
Break out those burritos.
You're the boss.
I'm a purist so I’m going with bacon.
First impression...
This is smaller than I thought right?
Yes.
It kind of is. I'm used to burritos being bigger.
RIght, right.
Keep that same energy because...
everyone say that but by the time you finish it, It packs a punch.
It's compact.
Ok.
So explain to us the whole breakfast burrito thing.
What comprises my ideal breakfast burrito is the texture, you know.
Kind of a crunchy tortilla, hashbrown...
Hashbrown is ideal for me.
Egg, cheese...
Potato in there?
Oh, absolutely.
So what would go in a breakfast meal,
And for me traditional breakfast burritos is bacon.
I used to always be a sausage guy.
But I personally think that when you try a breakfast burrito, the bacon is the way to go.
No longer a sausage guy?
No longer a sausage guy. For other things.
Depends what we're talking about.
- Cheers guys. - Cheers.
First taste of a breakfast burrito.
Thanks for this Joon.
So there's a crunch.
The hash brown.
There's crunchy hash brown in there.
Look at that. Oh my gosh.
Oh wow.
Look at that.
Oh, we're close now.
There's a lot more going on texturally than I thought there would be.
How about you guys tell me what you're experiencing right now.
I don't know this feels like, it's amazing to have something really crunchy in there.
The hash browns are like properly crispy crunchiness.
And the bacon adds a little bit of the crunch.
The bacon's a bit crunchy.
Saltiness.
The egg in there, there's guac.
Works really well.
We were talking about your Instagram.
One of the things that you do so well is like, the interaction with the fans.
You know like the Sunday secrets.
How did you like... strike upon that as an idea?
Thank you by the way.
You know it might have come from... I mc and host a lot of events.
That was like one of my first entry points since high school.
I really like to interact.
I'm very interactive.
I guess that just kind of subconsciously translated through my content as well.
I like to be heard and I know what that feels like especially if someone,
that I watch and follow, responds in any sort of way.
You call it a parasocial relationship, one to many.
And so kind of bridging that gap little by little,
and to be able to do that is a really cool experience.
When I saw that you have a whole highlight reel.
To all of the different breakfast burritos that you've eaten in L.A.
I was like how good can they be.
Come on.
It works so well.
I mean it’s weird. It's almost like biting into a stomach,
that has eaten this meal, you know.
You know like antarctic explorers... When they kill a seal,
and then salvage the undigested fish from their stomach.
- I'm reading a book about that at the moment. - They do that?
Yeah, they do.
That is so weird.
Yeah, it is.
This is a baby seal.
That's what it is.
A baby seal that had a great breakfast.
Yeah.
Really not long ago.
I've been looking forward and excited to meet you.
Oh really?
And this is just a testament.
Thanks, man.
- Is he living up to your expectations? - Oh, 100 percent yeah.
I like you a lot.
I'm a fan.
Thanks man. Me too.
We just destroyed those burritos.
I could eat another one.
I genuinely could eat another one. You don't need to.
It is a little filling.
You were right though. That is the right size.
I don't feel sick which is…
- Normally...what im feeling. - Surprising.
I feel like we need a little round of applause. That was...
- I'm glad you guys like it. - That was one of the best things we've had,
since we arrived in America.
It's an honour to be uh...
pop that cherry for you.
- Well popped. - Consider it well and truly popped.

Something I wanted to ask...
Like we said, you do a lot of interaction with your fans.
Some of the stuff people send you is nuts.
It's crazy.
There's a lot of spicy ones.
So the premise of secret Sundays, people submit their secrets to me
and then I share secrets anonymously with my reactions.
Some of them I filter out.
But the thing is they trust me because I see their username.
Only I see it. I'm the middleman.
Yeah, my question as well is, do you think they know that?
Oh, they 100% know.
When I first saw it, I definitely wasn't aware.
I see everything.
I've seen some stuff.
It's only fair. We've got you here the master of secrets.
Okay. Is that what's gonna...
Joon.
What's my secret?
People ask this a lot.
People ask me all the time.
I have a lot of really good and embarrassing...
peeing and pooping my pants stories.
Really?
Wow, you would get along so well with our friend Joel.
He's a pooper?
He's a pooper.
Man, that guy a pooper.
I can give some specifics.
Yeah, hit me.
Not literally. Just tell me the story.
Hit me?
I want to be outside of the splash radius.
A memorable one I was in middle school.
So they have these like state tests.
It's like a three four hour test.
And I have a small bladder, as is.
And you were smaller back then.
All odds were against me.
And so I was taking the test and then I had to, you know...
I had to pee.
And then I still had about an hour left and so I was like hey can I go? She's like nah.
So I waited and I held it.
By that point, I really had to go.
So I had to go in my pocket and physically hold it.
No!
Because that was the only way. I had to...
That was the only way!
I'm a visual... You know visual...
Hold it?
What so like a water balloon?
No! Like a water ballon!
You know a hose?
You know a running hose.
Let's say a running hose.
Let's say it's on.
Fold the hose.
You had to...
It's on full throttle.
You have to bend it, twist it.
That was the only way.
Did it work?
It worked of course.
I mean 'cause physically it's just...
I was like going through like contractions. You know what I mean.
And so yeah I was doing this.
The pain.
It was starting to get painful. It was really getting painful.
I don't think teachers should be allowed to have control over your bladder.
That's a big power trip.
Seriously man.
Hashtag free the tiny bladders.
Uh huh.
Josh and I...
We have this thing...
Obviously we've travelled a lot. We've eaten a lot of questionable foods.
We've eaten a lot of spicy food in huge quantities.
I think everyone we've ever said this to, know exactly what we're talking about.
The word is...
The quiver.
Oh!
He knows.
Immediate recognition.
The quiver met with the sweats.
Yeah, the sweats of the sweats.
The immediate...
I'm not talking about just the upper body. I'm talking about the quiver sweats.
Oh no... you guys.
When you get the quiver, you're immediately...
Your thought process is like, where is a toilet.
I know it's not cool.
Did you hear that!
- Siri even gets it. - Had to chime in.
- Siri. - Yeah, exactly.
"Oh, we're talking quivers."
You can now say...
"Guys, I've got the quivers."
That's a great word.
That feeling is when you know...
It's that feeling.
What's that? What's that!
Stop, don't do that!
Don't do that.
Ed Sheeran should do a remake of shivers.
Give me the quivers, you know.
Give me the quiver!
I'm gonna go up to a girl. That's my pick-up line.
"Girl, you give me the quivers."
You moved from Atlanta to L.A.
Recently.
Yes.
The American dream.
Yes.
Living it.
What's it been like, to move to L.A....
and things kind of actually working out?
How does that feel?
You know it's always interesting and sobering in a way to hear,
your journey from other people's perspectives.
Because at times I don't use those same words that you guys use.
Like killing it, crushing it, doing so well.
Yeah, you know when you're in your own head and you can't really see outside of yourself.
It's like, am I doing well? Am I really even making it?
But that's one thing I am telling myself I think.
The thing that people forget is the journey.
It's really... it sounds so cliche but I'm really learning, it really is about the journey.
Really about just like kind of remembering the grassroots,
and the times that it's not so great.
Really treasuring those moments, I think really helps propel you forward.
I'm trying to work hard.
I'm also you know, the laziest person out there too.
So you know...
Self-proclaimed.
Yeah.
Recently, there's been some things in the pipeline,
that I actually can't even talk about.
Oh!
I hate to like tease. I hate to tease.
That is the... ultimate humblebrag.
I know I'm the worst.
But hopefully soon, this thing is like the thing
that I've been pretty much working towards my whole life.
This was like kind of my Eminem moment.
Eminem okay, 8 mile.
I call it my Eminem moment, 8 mile moment.
To really just buckle in and just give it all for this shot.
And it kind of worked out.
Joon, thanks so much for today this has been so nice.
Thank you.
Absolute pleasure and...
Hopefully we'll see you around.
Next time in London, or in Seoul?
That would be great, yes.
Well, in the meantime.
We'll see you jolly soon.
See you later.
Bye.
