This duo is literally Kung fu panda and master shifu
Pretty accurate!
😆
🤣🤣😂😂😂 You're so freaking right
Never saw the movie, but shifu in Mandarin means "master", but often used to greet cab/bus drivers. That's pretty funny his name is master master
Fr frr
Rang is from Cà Ná
Matty is from Cà Ná Da.
It was meant to be
I see what u did there
Nice one!
damn, bro, u got me
As a Vietnamese person myself that is some nice puns you got there
That’s some serious pun right there! Good one
Clicked for fish sauce stayed for the homecoming story of war, separation from family and the struggles of being an immigrant. This is like the opposite of clickbait
I came looking for cooper and found gold
🎯 spot on, anti click bait
“Why did this fat boy come to such a tiny village”😂😂
he actually didn't say that. They mistranslated. He was pointing at a woman and said "why did she even come here." Nothing to do with what was translated.
@@liferipsfam Sometimes the editors just want to shoot the piss. Glad you coreeected that.
My parents escaped the Vietnam war and lived the American dream. My dad passed away of lung cancer in 2011 and that last quote mad me cry. "He stole a boat, and sailed towards the sun". I hope my dad is still sailing towards the sun. Love you Pops.
because of your Pops you get to live a good life...live it to the fullest ....and your Dad sailing towards Heaven.
Rip, man
Bạn về vn chưa?
My parents were also boat refugees from the Vietnam War and came to the USA in search of a better life as well
my parents did too. 87'
they need to make this duo a travel show ASAP
10/10 would watch
YES!
someone give this man a directors job
They're chemistry is amazing. I don't want a Matty solo show, I don't want Rang as a special guest. Get these guys going all over the world together.
That’s literally this show
FYI, When a old Vietnamese lady lightly slaps you, they really love you. My grandma used to do this to me, she gone now, but watching them do that to you brought me back in time. That's awesome.
With those people, it is ALL love!
I knew Rang could crack me up, but I didn’t know he could also make me cry. He’s a legend.
The expression of the Vietnamese ladies to... Matty's tattoos 🤣😂🤣😂 priceless!!
OMG I love your videos guys!! Much love from the States!! And yeah that was hella funny 😂😂😂😂
Oh wussup daniel
...lol...
Big fan
yes neighbors!!
What an incredible story, 5 of the 8 people who took the boat into the open ocean died, so thankful for Rang to be here today with Matty
provably ate them or threw them overboard.
@@johnjones3332 so would u
@@johnjones3332 EXACTLY what I was thinking🤤🤌
@@pullupullupullup4687 No Vietnamese can sail directly to Canada or USA. Most of us arrived at all the refugees camps like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Hong Kong. From there we apply to be accepted to our destination countries. Please don’t be ignorant.
@@pullupullupullup4687 "after a long journey, Rang settled in Newfoundland". Dude, check your own timestamp. What you said is bullshit
“i like it, u like it, they must like it"
"nah fuck that we cant make everybody happy" lmfao
Master Rang was so cool about the "loose translation of his dish"
Love that!
At 16:00, Master Rang paused. And I knew then when he did, that he was reliving an extremely painful but memorable part of his life. Some of us go through an extreme journey at some point in our lives, and we are only so lucky to be alive today. I know that feeling, and when Master Rang went silent, I heard everything his heart said so loud, and so clear. You're a good man, Rang.
They are such a good combo. These two need their own series. By far the best chemistry on Munchies.
His silence was so loud.
everyone rubbing Matty's belly like he's a jolly Buddha...love it!
for luck !
THIS LINE is the best
"How does a kid from the other side of the world teach me anything about cooking? He stole a boat and drove it in to the sun"
What's the song playing then. It's perfect
@@upboat th-cam.com/video/gP-bEFlM9Kg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MadeMyDayMusic
@@LammyGaming thank you so much
Literally made me tear up, it was perfect.
I cried too lmao best ending ever
I love how Rang just paraphrases everything when he translates. He has truly mastered that delicate art. Master Rang..
"I've been driving around Vietnam for over an hour!!"...
Rang- "that's ok." 😂
The fact he stole a boat and drove it into the sun to the path for a better future against all odds is so unbelievably poetic
I love how respectful Matty is to Master Rang
the level or respect was bothering me honestly.
@@DB-xo6xh jc you ever work in a kitchen ? my rang is a dude named raul in Denver . Coolest fucking dude ever who taught me to keep my cool in a kitchen.
@@chrisohyama6025 hell yea what kitchen? I live here would be glad to try out
its because rang taught matty how to be cook
@@chrisohyama6025 Ha. I took the original comment as "sarcasm" actually because he was clowning on Rang, but I'm not gonna lie...he kept ragging on him and I'm like, ok...c'mon, seemed like he was doing it Just for the cameras. I read that as "Matty was disrespectful". I know he has a ton of respect for him but he was also very disrespectful to Rang(which is what bothered me). And Yes. Ive been working in kitchens since I was 16, been working in fine dining in SF for well over a decade. I know how shit goes. I would never make my Rang feel small. You need to show respect for your Rangs of the world. That man is a fucking badass.
He should write a book and call it “My journey to the sun”
Catchy name.
@@YourBoyTrue oh hello my fellow Anonymous.
@@Anonymouss11 Y'ello, to you as well.
Bestseller
There's a book by comedian Anh Do called "The Happiest Refugee" I highly recommend, similar story
they got me crying in the clurb. they need to make a tv show where they travel around the world and taste native cuisines. i would watch an hour of them just talking
Why were u at a clurb crying
Their relationship is the most precious thing lol
This has to be one of the best videos on this channel in a long while! Emotional, inspirational and entertaining. More of this and less hipsters talking about deli containers!
Amen Brother
Couldn’t agree more !
😅🤣
It’s over now enjoy these while they last 😔
Damn right
"Don't walk on the fish, it's bad luck for them. Where the f*** they get that I have no idea!" 😂😂😂😂
Everyone needs a Master Rang in their lives.
I was like: "I'm pretty sure the fish ran out of luck a couple of hours ago..." then i figured out he was talking about the fishmongers xD
over. he said don't walk on but he means don't step over the fish. african people have same saying. caribbean call it sweat rice cuz we're a joyful people cuz in the caribbean, the weather's always sublime, there's always great food, a lime to hit, pretty people to watch. and doh talk about MUSIC! You call it Jannah, we call it CYARNEEVAHHLLL. dun know.
I literally cried when rang talked about stealing the boat
There's so much personality in this video I f*cking love it! As a lover of Vietnamese food and travel, keep it comin' I miss that beautiful country!!
If you miss Vietnam so much why you not live there? You can go visit and stay there.
@@tonyrocco8976 There's a pandemic mate.
For real!!! More of these two. This is gold!
@@tonyrocco8976 Sarcasm turned into a retard comment.
I like your style. very dumb.
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
Man, as a Vietnamese-American, this had me teary eyed at spots when he was talking about his past and how he grew up. Thank you Master Rang for opening yourself up. And Matty, keep on doing what you do!
I feel the same. This is what life is about. This is real, no cut corner journalism. Full open hearted expression of culture and sharing something we all love. To eat.
Even though we are different in ways, as Human beings we all are very similar in many more ways. Lots of respect to you, I hope I can return what your comment has given me. Thank you✌️
he's just such a wealth of knowledge and experience. what a fascinating guy.
@@pullupullupullup4687 my mom ended up in Malaysia after she fled on the boat and eventually made it Switzerland and shortly after California. I don't doubt that Rang made pit stops on the way. But hey, most Vietnamese immigrants have their own stories of what happened. Growing up as a Vietnamese-American and hearing countless stories from relatives and family friends of how our parents and other families made the trek is hard. Vietnamese people deal with trauma and the tragedy of having to leave your home behind because you're afraid of the communist reform. The main goal for many Vietnamese people were to get to American Soil in any way possible. Rang explaining about grabbing the boat and "heading towards the sun" was essentially Rang's way of saying that many of the Vietnamese citizens of Ca Na knew of a way out where the Americans would be willing to assist them. The route being "go towards the sun" Who knows what really could have happened. I'm thinking Rang's stolen boat made it to the Americans (base of operations in a southern part of vietnam) for him to be able to escape. He obviously didn't use that small boat to get across the pacific and around to Newfoundland. But it's stories like these that remind me of the struggles many Vietnamese immigrants had to face in order to keep their ideologies and not to submit to communism. Sorry long rant but just wanted to maybe shed some light on Rang's explanantion.
@@pullupullupullup4687 my mother was a boat person like him. Similar story. They usually just hope that they get picked up by some western ship or neighboring country. My mother had it "easy" and got to the US after leaving on boat but my father spent some time in refugee camps first. Both had nothing but the clothes on their backs when they left and were out of all resources by the time they got picked up. I believe the dude, it's a pretty common story.
@@Noitora22 No one forces you to submit to communism, you can either stay or go and the Vietnamese government deliberately ignore those boat people trying to escape. Around 80% of those boat people are actually of Chinese descent even though they carry Vietnamese names as the Chinese invasion of Vietnam in 1979 made the Chinese Vietnamese suspects of treason. Read up history, it wasn't always about politics. There are a lot of people from the South Vietnam regime who chose to stay and became very successful with houses in the most expensive and desirable area in Saigon. You're just hearing one side of the story.
Matt was trying to fight the tears when rang told his boat story
The moment Matty took his shirt off, they were like "Pig, just like a Pig". Killed me on the inside
Don't take that personal man. It's just the way it is here. People will making fun of your appearance, joking around and laugh it off. Just do what Matty did, laugh, have some fun. I'm quite impressed how Matty handle it to be honest. Lot's of people have culture shock when they land in Vietnam. Anyway happy new year
@@_nttai 🤣🤣 When I said it killed me inside, it was sarcasm. Like I died of laughter. Would love to visit Vietnam, people seem really down to earth and real.
people in tiny villages are down to earth and real in most places
Damn vice was sitting on this video for a loooong time
This a reupload
Fuck yeah. That was Matty-lite right there. lol.
ya cuz u can't even travel to vietnam rn
@@NguyenNguyen-xs5fg đừng rồi
a lot of vice content that gets uploaded today was shot in like 2016-17. they're shown on TV first before they make it here
The way Rang's sister dissed his food 😂 I'm deceased
You know that's just how vietnamese people are. Lol 🤣
I love Matty’s relationship with master Rang. You can tell that they care about one another and aren’t afraid to show it!
I died laughing when Matty said "this is Rangs block" and then Rang says "O block" 😂😂 him and Chief Keef kicked it back in 72'
Chef Rang and Matty really are the ultimate duo. Perfect blend of chopping each other’s balls while having the utmost respect for each other. Damn near cried when he told his escape story. Similar situation to my Dad escaping Laos.
The second i heard Rangs voice i smashed that like button.
"He stole a boat and drove it into the sun" that was poetic asf
We Vietnamese people hereby, officially adopt Matty as one of our own
I love the end. "I don't like it. It's salty. It's sour." Literally the opposite to every other cooking show/doc where they sit down with a group people exhibiting food from their "journey". Love the honesty of the show and Matty, what you see is what you get.
you'll never impress viet moms / grandmas with your cooking. its a fact
I dunno why but Matty calling the coffee tobacco juice while it’s all over his mouth is hilarious.
He looked like a meth addict with those coffee stained teeth while talking about random shit like tobacco juice. Funny af.
I’m blown away. The love between mentor &.mentee is amazing. One sharing something so personal. The other interpreting it in his hemisphere with respect, honor & humor, I’m touched!
I love how when Rang's mother says it's too sour, Rang just tells Matthew - "She says it's not too bad!" What a mate. Followed by "You can't make everybody f*cking happy! I told them to tell you the truth! If he don't like it he's gonna tell you the f*cking truth!" and AS he is saying that, again she claims "It's salty!" Rang cares for Matty's feelings. I wish them both health and wealth, proper nice dudes. 🤘
You never know how that "immigrant" came to be in the country that you live in. We are all just travellers, just looking for a place to live life in. For Marty and Rang
MARTY LMAOOOO
@@Nick-nh4nf dude. Autocorrect ...or fat fingers. Hahaha
this is true. The only thing I never liked was a lack of naturalization. Get naturalization up, keep enclaves from becoming too strong, force people to all know eachother. Everyone prospers.
Those fishing ladies be looking at matty like he’s a snack. 😆😆😆
hell yea, that's a thick boy! They know he's eating well.
@@hai_caloric hahaha
hahaaaa!!! More like a full course meal!
@@Vishwakdalastpunk hahahaha
I really thought you just replied to yourself twice 😂 same exact name
I love it how Rang still kept his Vietnamese voice even though he had been away for a very long time. +1 respect
This was just so pure ❤️ their friendship, the sharing of culture, all of it, just pure.
Matty always speaks like he's got no microphone but needs to deliver a speech to an open air audience of 100k people.
Those two have sick chemistry
Yeah a millennial that can handle shit talking. Matty is a North American treasure.
This has Anthony Bourdain soul oozing out of it. Please make them travelling a full series, and change NOTHING.
THIS
I thought the exact same thing. Rang is Matty's Zamir.
Why does someone always have to mention Anthony Bourdain on videos in Vietnam? The guy hardly spent anytime in Vietnam. Be more original.
@UC3nB9Ahp9ME7GaP-pqn5bGA anthony spent a lot of time in Vietnam da fuck u talking about
Matty got dropped from vice when Murdoch bought them out to make it more mainstream appeal, however matty has hundreds of videos on TH-cam and this isn’t even his best one
They were all rubbing his belly for luck the ones in the market killed me 😂.
16:01 when Rang stops talking for a brief second I feel like he's getting choked up thinking about to the intensity of his experiences stealing a boat, looking at it from the same spot 2-3 decades later...
Exactly what I thought. It was only once he said it out loud, is when he realized it.
I don’t think he was choking up, but more of like a “warp speed” effect, where your mind, vision, and everything just goes *wsshhhh* by you, and you’re instantly grounded into your reality and what you’re actually doing, and where you actually are, and what happened.
Amazing and beautiful.
" they wont be able to read it here so it doesn't really matter " 😆 god bless you master rang.
I love how they just love roasting him for being big lol and the viet ladies love him
Rang: I don’t wanna talk about it. Best catch phrase ever 😂
im 37 and this almost made me cry. awesome story!
Age has nothing to do with it bro. Just compassion, integrity and empathy for a fellow human. Nothing is better than that.
1:42 " We love markets"
I also love markets
Pretty fantastic markets tho
I love them too
How do you say thank you in Vietnamese?
Rang: Cảm ơn
Matthew: Come on
Without a doubt this is the best show and duo I’ve ever come across. It’s funny, heartwarming, and downright entertaining.
20:36 "Damn, I'm a pro" Rang got me dead
1:43 I think y'all came here for this LOL
Jokes aside, I admit I got a little choked up when Rang and Matty hugged each other after Rang's escape story.
you saved me 22 mins of my life
thanks I knew some perv would come through for me
These two need a show on television. I'm confident enough in them that this would rival No Reservations. And I'm a huge Bourdain fan
Matty is such a good person and a good friend.
It’s beautiful to see 2 friends from different backgrounds traveling to each other’s country to experience an authentic experience with culture and food. We need more of this in current times.
Rang doesnt fit in anymore
He stands out as much as Matty
Love That About Them
💪💪💪💪
its all alright, the roots are still there but just like a tree we all gotta branch out.
That's because of Matty.
Fitting in is over rated anyway
Damn I’ve never cried watching this show but what a heartfelt episode 🥺 They have such a beautiful relationship and I love that they’re not afraid to show love to each other.
That moment where they are together talking about Master Rangs journey from his village is a moment that is so beautiful. You being able to connect with you mentor in that way is truly amazing.
I miss master rang. I wish they filmed him more often. They have great chemistry together.
When Matty puts on the hat and Rang goes “beautiful” 😂
This was so beautiful and wholeshome. Ps I like this Matty way more than the screaming obnoxious one.
If Master Rang wrote a book about his life and the food culture in Vietnam I would 100% buy it! Vietnamese food is very underrated ❤️
so wholesome. makes me think about my parents and how they immigrated to America.
"stole a boat and drove it into the sun"
I have so much respect for my immigrant father. He's Went through so much to get to america and now he's doing his best with us. Heres to success🎉
Really beautiful comment here, cheers.
I love matty, he seems like such a genuine loving and chill dude. He brings his old master on his show and they got really good chemistry. I mean how can you not love him :))). Keep them episodes coming!!!!!
the friendship between these two guys is absolutely amazing. love seeing a master and a padawan showing such emotions. this whole video is amazing!!!! love both of you guys.
This relationship dynamic is equal parts love and respect.
The way Matty appreciates the mentorship of Master Rang is beautiful. There's such a trade off, especially when Rang is in his element, and Matty's openness to his teachings is something I think we can all learn from.
Eyy i want more of this matty and master rang combo i love it!
Y’all this made me cry. Such a beautiful story
What an amazing, inspirational episode. It’s so nice to hear Rang’s backstory, it’s honestly unbelievable.
Give this guy an Emmy or whatever they award for this great journalism! “How does a kid from the other side of the world teach me everything I know about cooking ? He stole a boat and drove it to the sun”🥲
20:03 "Good luck" Matty is such a good sport LOL
I'm so glad they're posting these episodes on TH-cam
so many viet kids from refugee families are watching this & thank you. so many of us are children of those boat people.
master rang reminds me of my pops so much (RIP). the old ladies, my grandma & grandaunts (RIP). the smoking, the ball busting, the food. makes me melancholic yet happy
I love the appreciation you have for rang, multiple uploads and you guys are truly friends everyone wants to be!
I love how the ladies slap his belly and say "a pig!"
this is such a wholesome , heartwarming episode
That was really touching... Munchies, these 2 should have a travel show
Such a touching and beautiful backstory to Master Rang. Glad he got to head back and honor those who raised him.
So great. I love these two together. Such a beautiful friendship. More episodes please?
This is so good. Matty can be the next Anthony Bourdain in my book. I love seeing the quirky westerner immersing himself in foreign lands in such a wholesome way.
This show is amazing. It has everything, two great friends' stories, great food knowledge, and not a script. If you ever worked in hospitality and were close to those workers in the back of the house, you can really appreciate and somehow see yourself in those stories. Great job people.
This was so heartfelt seeing your friendship.
What an amazing story!! Matty and Master Rang's friendship is definitely one of the coolest on TH-cam!!
those ladies are awesome! "His arm is around me, does that mean he wants me?" lol
This has been my favorite episode from this channel so far. I love this friendship and Master Rang's story so much
Master Rang should probably be on all future videos. The chemistry with you two is fantastic.
damn what a wild story...master rang had an insane upbringing he is a definite survivor this man is the definition of being a true survivor in life. pretty fucking inspiring. glad he survived out of those on the boat
Wow vice actually pulled it off. Good job vice. Remember seeing an episode on how this trip between these two should happen
These guys are living there best lives, the food culture in Vietnam is incredible. I just sit here drooling.
These episodes are legendary! The relationship they have is priceless!
laughed and cried watching this. Inspiring!
Inspiring.. especially to see it first hand, your journey..life is unusual and strange and beautifully confusing and unexpectedly heartbreaking with joy..touched!
What an amazing character Rang is! and genuine friendship between master and student! LOVE THIS!
I love the way Matty respectfully handle the situations he was in!!!! I love you for respecting the culture where you're at dude. Especially respecting Master Rangs culture and life
