“Quite This Podcast Will Change Your Life I am. Not to mention the Leland Cheuk, 7.13 Books, publishing, and selling books, but not bemoaning either, as well as hustles, reviews and luck, being alive, community, and not being so alone, The Adventures of Augie March, and the Misadventures of Sulliver Pong, identity, and stereotypes, No Good Very Bad Asian, embracing change, reading, writing, fan letters, inspiration, stand-up comedy, Louis CK, Aziz Ansari, and cancel culture, and name-dropping, so much name dropping, including, but not limited to Tobias Carroll, Leesa Cross-Smith, Joe Peterson, Sara Lippmann, and so much more. So, please do This Podcast Will Change Your Life, because it will most certainly do that.”

“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine becoming a successful anything, let alone a comedian. I fully expected to be a huge disappointment.

Life’s first disappointment was my name. My real name isn’t Sirius. My Chinese name is pronounced “whore.” Hor Luk Lee.

I was born in America.

Your grandparents saw Sixteen Candles. They were quite familiar with Long Duk Dong.

They named me Hor anyway.”
