just say black.

Like. [CROSSTALK].

>> It's actually with the r, too.

>> No, I mean it.

[CROSSTALK] Tell him.

>> Nigger.

>> It's normal.

It's absolutely normal in Russia.

>> It's not offensive.

>> It's not America.

Different culture. It's also a different

language, so like saying nigger is normal.

>> Oh, what's that mean? >> It's just like

black person.

>> It's race?

>> Yeah, to black people it's normal.

[SOUND].

>> White people, don't try this at home!

[MUSIC]

You know, so we came to Moscow.

Of course, what we had to find was,

single black male in Moscow,

stranded, from Brooklyn.

No lie, these motherfuckers in

Moscow were fucking my flow up.

>> They don't smile much.

>> They're not like really happy people.

>> Lev, smile. [LAUGH]

>> Hey.

We got him.

We got him.

Russians smiling.

We need to see more of that.

>> Yo, we about to head to Soviet again to play

some old Russian games from like, the 70s and

the 80s.

It's gonna be great. China Town, China Town,

China Town.

[MUSIC]

It's China Town up in here.

So Sasha, what is this?

>> It's coins so like a [FOREIGN].

>> [FOREIGN] Like,

with all of this what could we buy?

>> In Soviet time one coin, one ice cream.

>> What about now?

>> Nothing.

>> You can't even get ice cream.

Could you get the cone?

Just reiterate what you guys were just talking

about, I, I wasn't able to capture that one.

Because you fucking arent doing your job.

That's cool Sam,

that's cool, that's cool, that's cool.

All right, this would be enough for us.

[MUSIC]

>> During the Soviet time,

there were lines to play the games.

There was nothing like it before.

We only had carousels.

We never had anything like this.

It was made by a special military order.

What happened is,

when the Soviet Union collapsed,

all of the games got tossed.

Nobody wanted them anymore.

They wanted Sega and things like that.

But I always said that this stuff is forever.

These games became popular again,

only now you can't find them anywhere.

Now this hardly exists.

>> [LAUGH] [SOUND].

>> Shit, you said way too much!

>> [LAUGH].

[MUSIC]

Bang, bang, bang.

[MUSIC]

>> So, yo, what brought you to Moscow?

>> What brought me here?

Well, to Russia in general,

was teaching English and all of that stuff.

>> Okay. >> You know?

I started making YouTube videos.

[SOUND].

>> Today we're gonna have a lesson on how to

sound like an American girl.

None of your business.

Now, none

your business means none of your business.

My first video I was, like,

speaking Russian and teaching them slang.

>> Like, what gave you that idea?

>> Girls. [LAUGH]

>> Oh, you was meeting

Russian girls.

>> Yes. >> Oh,

you was going to Brighton Beach.

>> You know there's,

you know there's a lot of them in New York City.

And, I didn't think no

one's really gonna like it.

I was just being silly.

But, it kinda blew up and now I'm here.

They were calling me, business deals and

all that stuff.

So now I gotta try my bad Russian.

Oh!

I'm messing up today.

The first time I played it, I played it for

like hours with this girl.

>> Yo, Russian chicks fuck with

black dudes heavy out here?

>> Yeah, half do, half are crazy about it and

half just don't like it at all.

>> Racism out here is a little different.

In America, if they're racist you hear a lot of

times like, black people do this, you know?

>> Yeah. >> They commit crime or

whatever it is.

But, out here it's like,

I don't like the way they look.

>> Yeah. >> I don't like that

they're here.

>> It's like that primal racism,

that caveman racism.

>> Yes, But, they usually make an exception when

you're American.

>> So, they kinda just like

the American bit about it.

>> Right, you can't tell-

>> It's not like

white college chicks in America.

>> Nah. They want the pipe.

>> It's different.

I mean, but.

Oh, that's a dead.

>> Damn. >> Yo, you gettin

fucked up.

>> Getting fucked up on camera.

>> Oh. >> Damn.

>> Damn, son.

>> I'm making black

people look real bad.

>> I'm making Chinese people look

fucking crazy good right now.

[NOISE].

>> You know this is real.

>> That was not fun.

Aren't we going to eat now?

I'm starving.

>> Well, we're about to have some shashlik.

Shashlik is

like the Russian barbecue kind of thing.

It's this kind of food that they have on a metal

rod and I hope you don't mind some beer man,

we gonna be drinking.

>> No, I prefer vodka.

>> You prefer? >> Yeah,

yeah, yeah, Asians get farty with the beer.

[LAUGH] Yeah, I need that vodka flow.

Popo is a peepin' right now so

we better just flip.

>> Oh, there's cops now?

>> Yeah, they're peeping at

us just now so we gotta.

>> Where? I don't even see them,

ninja [CROSSTALK].

>> Yeah, but especially with the New York hat,

the shades, and the chains, you know,

they want, they want come up real quick, so

they'll just holler at us over anything, anything.

>> Oh wait, they will just snatch you on

the street and try to get bread off you?

>> Yeah, yes, they want bread.

That's what it's about.

>> Oh, wow. >> They'll come at you,

be like, ask you questions.

But, I mean, it's all right,

there's no such thing as racial profiling in

Russia cuz it's Russia.

You know, it's normal.

>> Everybody gets jokes.

>> Everybody gets it.

>> That's crazy to

just be robbed by police like on the daily, yo.

>> Yeah, but you could stay out of

trouble if you got mad paper.

Anything you do you got money you

stay out of trouble.

>> Yo, that's fucked up,

though, like only people with bread.

Broke people, stay at home.

Russia ain't for you.

[LAUGH]. >> I don't wanna bust

my ass on that.

>> Damn. This is mad

slippery here.

>> Hey. What's up everybody?

[CROSSTALK]. >> You guys are all

English students?

>> Yeah.

>> So, Volvo who owns this yard,

entered this yard into a Moscow competition for

the best yard, and we are right now, officially in

the number two yard in all of Moscow.

[MUSIC]

So, this is the shashlik?

>> Yeah.

>> Nice, man!

>> In Russian culture, if you skewer something,

you make kabob.

It's call shashlik.

>> yes. >> Oh, that smells good!

>> This is a leg of lamb.

Lamb from Dagestan.

Marinated with spices.

Like coriander, cumin, and pomegranate syrup.

Like coriander, cumin, and pomegranate syrup.

>> Russian cuisine.

Coriander, cumin,

these aren't the most common things but

this is his recipe.

Modern Russian food right here.

[LAUGH] New Russia.

Russian food,

I like it because they don't over-season it.

They keep it very light and creamy.

Mm.

He's very,

very smart to use the pomegranate syrup.

You need that kind of sweetness to take

the musk off of the lamb.

And then, with the coriander and

the cumin and the onion,

it has a bit of a Yemenese flavor to it.

This is delicious, man.

This modern Russian freestyle.

He gonna have all of America screaming,

I want shashlik!

Now, I'll show you how to chill your beer.

[MUSIC]

[LAUGH].

>> Modern Moscow is very,

very different from what you're.

>> Stereotypes. >> Stereotypes.

>> What do you think it is about modern Russia,

modern Moscow that is different.

>> Well, you

can see the difference between Russia' 90's and

2000's because they are very modern.

They are, they look like Americans.

So, we don't have anything very,

very stereotypical now.

>> Do you like that?

>> Yeah, because people become much more

nice because they smile and

they share a same culture.

Because if you speak about Russia of '90s,

it's like, lots of bad guys drinking vodka,

being very rude, looking down to everybody.

>> Yeah. >> Nobody speaks to

everyone.

[MUSIC]

>> I think as Americans, we carry guilt for

exporting so

much of our soft power, because you're worried

that it's gonna swallow up the rest of the world.

But, to talk to you and hear how like, it's

kind of opened up your guys' personalities and

minds a little bit, it's cool.

It's redeeming and

it like, makes me happy to be from America.

Yo, nice to, nice to meet you though.

>> Nice, nice to meet you too.

>> It's really nice to hear about, like,

how Russia is changing.

[MUSIC]

Yo, so we at the Soviet vodka bar right now.

And, this is the grill that they operate outside

of the bar.

It's straight wood fire.

And, this definitely beats like,

a New York dirty water hotdog.
