5:25

more convenient because it's right there okay so either

5:27

way it was gonna be the same price as

5:29

a uber why the fuck not wait wait so

5:31

you had to use an app though to call

5:33

that taxi no it's just right there you saw

5:35

okay okay so it's just one of those taxis

5:37

are waiting so if you guys find the LAX

5:39

there's a specific section only for uber surprise right

5:42

so we walked over there we get into

5:44

a taxi the taxi guy who flags them down he goes going

5:46

to the yellow cab we're walking up there was actually

5:48

a car before him that was like a great

5:50

Toyota Corolla and the guys alright he's grabbing our

5:52

bags he puts in the trunk like oh he

5:54

told us to go to the yellow cab and

immediately he goes okay well which is it And

6:01

you know, I should have just

6:04

been like, okay, we're gonna go into the yellow cab.

6:06

But he already put our bags in and then our

6:08

destination point is only an eight to ten minute drive.

6:11

13:13

the wildest thing I've ever experienced how

13:15

13:18

trying to charge you oh? I didn't even see cuz I

13:20

wasn't paying shit okay now Like hiding you

13:26

you out of your fucking mind dude like

get the fuck out. I mean at that

13:30

point It's not even the matter of the

bill. It's what he's doing and how he's

13:34

doing it right first of all He's giving

13:36

you an attitude He's like trying to hit

13:38

you and it's not even where you guys

13:41

are supposed to get dropped off at mm-hmm

13:43

right so it's like All

13:45

of that it's like what the fuck bro. You expect

13:47

me to pay it was so weird cuz I

13:49

couldn't really You never feel

13:51

good about shit like this right especially at our age

13:54

like I'm not ever trying to fight somebody yeah So

13:56

even in the video I saw this shit where you

13:58

could tell in my head in my my mind

14:00

process after I pushed them. My

14:02

head still wasn't ready to fight because I wasn't

14:04

sure if I wanted to hit them. Of course,

14:06

of course. You feel already bad. Yeah, I pushed

14:09

an older man. You're thinking of

14:11

getting physical with somebody this age. Yeah.

14:15

This happened to me a lot at

14:17

the gas station. Really? We

14:19

saw the video. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you

14:21

can see the videos, but it was essentially

14:24

these older white men who

14:26

just see me and think that I'm just an

14:29

automatic pussy. Yeah. So they'll come

14:31

in and like, hey, man, like, it's a nice spot.

14:33

I'm thinking of buying it. I'm like,

14:35

okay. Right? He's like, yeah,

14:37

you know, you can get really cheap stuff

14:39

at this wholesale. And I'm just, I'm just

14:41

going, uh-huh. Uh-huh. And

14:44

then it goes, hey, what the fuck is

14:46

your problem? Huh? I'm trying to help you.

14:49

Right? What the fuck is wrong with you?

14:52

And I'm like, really shocked. I'm

14:54

like, what do you mean to help me? Like,

14:57

I could buy this whole store, motherfucker.

15:00

And then, yeah, at this point, I

15:02

was like, you know what? Fuck

15:04

you. And then he was

15:07

utterly shocked because why? It's

15:09

like, you didn't think Asian people do that

15:11

shit. And so I found out,

15:13

you know what? If I go crazy on every

15:16

white person, they'll stop fucking with me. And

15:18

that's exactly what I did. You fight pulling out your penis?

15:20

Like, yeah. I mean, to

15:22

be fair too, to be fair too, like,

15:25

some of these people that you were dealing

15:27

with weren't necessarily just like crazy people. Some

15:29

of them are racist too. Oh, yeah. Oh,

15:32

yeah. I've had customers come in straight

15:34

bald head, white pride.

15:36

Wow. Bald head

15:39

with all those swastikas and the

15:41

SS tattoos. You know, same thing.

15:44

White pride across his chest. Then

15:46

I had a guy come in just paying for gas, and

15:48

he put his wallet down, and there

15:50

was a swastika stamped on his

15:52

fucking wallet. Right? So

15:54

that was the kind of motherfuckers I deal with.

15:57

So if I was in your position, my PTSD

15:59

would've been... and like I'm

16:01

going crazy. I don't even know what to do.

16:04

You know, you gotta be careful, right?

16:06

Because like if you match that energy,

16:08

you get crazy with somebody who is

16:11

crazy. It could quickly go through. No,

16:13

that's what I'm saying though in my

16:15

area. Yeah. These old

16:17

white men, they're essentially harmless.

16:20

You know, they're not like, they're not

16:22

crazy either. Yeah. But they

16:24

come in because they have nothing to do

16:26

but fuck the age of that. And so

16:28

I've had people- His whole purpose was I'm

16:30

going to pull up to this liquor store

16:32

gas station just to fuck with his kids.

16:34

Dude, so this one guy comes up and

16:36

he's in a work truck, something

16:38

plumbing, right? And he and his coworker

16:41

come in and it's 11 a.m.

16:43

and this guy is like kind

16:45

of drunk. And he looks at me and he's like,

16:47

hey, where's that little Asian lady? And

16:49

I'm like, are you talking about my mom? Oh

16:52

no. He's like, yeah, where's she at?

16:54

Uh-huh. And I just looked at him

16:57

and I didn't blink because I wear contacts. I have the ability

16:59

not to blink. And then

17:01

he goes, what are you looking at? He's

17:04

like, what are you looking at? Then he goes

17:06

like this. Oh no.

17:09

Finger guns to my face. I'm behind the counter, right? And

17:12

I was like, do that shit. Let's

17:14

do it because I'll fuck you

17:16

up, you fat motherfucker. Yeah. I

17:19

got it just going off. And then he goes,

17:21

someone ought to teach you some respect. And I'm like,

17:23

you? You drunk motherfucker. It's 11 a.m. and you're drunk.

17:28

And then he's like, well, fuck

17:30

you, you fucking gook. And

17:32

when I hear that, I'm like, yes, green light.

17:34

And I was like, let's go outside. Right? But

17:37

you're right. I have a goop. Very accurate.

17:39

Very accurate. Now we must fight to the

17:41

death. So I go out there and I'm

17:44

screaming at him too, right? And then his

17:46

co-worker's pushing me back. I could

17:48

see this guy like, oh, kind of shot because

17:50

I'm going crazy. Yeah. And

17:52

then I said, I said, I will

17:55

360 roundhouse kick

17:57

you in the fucking temple, motherfucker. away

18:00

and he walks away right and then kung

18:02

fu. His co-worker standing there and he's like

18:07

hey you got spunk kid but I

18:09

don't know if you can do that in your uggs. That

18:13

day was cold I was wearing ugg slippers. Oh

18:15

my god. I was like shit

18:18

right. But then I went up to

18:20

him anyway and I was like I need

18:22

I'm gonna take your picture you can't come back here

18:24

motherfucker. Then he punched me

18:26

in the face. Oh wow. With my

18:28

phone. And then so the picture I

18:30

have him is like this. Wow. It's

18:33

on my I'll post it up. That's so funny.

18:35

It's like this and then I

18:38

was just so fucking heated that I

18:40

looked up I called it the plumbing number.

18:43

Then I posted that shit online. The

18:45

weirdest fucking thing. His

18:47

wife liked the post

18:49

that I posted. She hates him for sure.

18:51

Yeah I for sure remember saying that's why

18:54

you're drunk. That's why your kids hate you.

18:56

That's why you're probably divorced. I was just

18:58

saying shit I don't know. But it was

19:00

like I looked at people like that like

19:03

yeah you. Nobody likes

19:05

you. That's why you're going around acting like. You're a fucking

19:07

wife dude. That's also a

19:09

fucking advantage. You're just a

19:11

fucking child's wife. No but the thing

19:13

is it's like in those situations. You

19:16

gotta you gotta stand up for yourself right. Otherwise

19:18

they're gonna keep doing it again. They'll

19:20

find the next Asian guy. It was like when

19:23

my pops you know had his store in South

19:25

Central. I mean you know you had

19:27

dudes trying to check him all the time right. Come

19:29

in try to like steal try to like press up

19:31

on him. And so my pops go

19:33

to was like he put his foot up on the

19:35

counter start tightening his laces. I'm

19:38

gonna fuck you up now and then these guys think

19:40

oh shit this dude knows karate. They're

19:44

like hey it's cool. You know a lot of like people

19:47

back in the day. They would say that though they

19:49

thought that every Asian person. Yeah you like martial arts.

19:51

Right. So if they saw some shit like let's say

19:53

if a guy was like tapping his knees or. Shit.

19:56

Yeah. I'm gonna fuck me up. I didn't

19:58

know you know. So

20:01

we know somebody named Abe. Abe's dad was known.

20:04

Years ago, so

20:06

he grew up in a

20:09

city right next to where I grew up in Sacramento, Elk

20:11

Grove, right? So Elk Grove and Sacramento are pretty close by.

20:13

But at the time, there wasn't a lot of Asian people

20:15

there. And his dad was one of the people that was

20:17

one of the Asian dudes. His dad was also on the

20:19

football team. He was really buff. He still has old men

20:21

straight to his day. Well, he

20:24

was known to carry around fucking nunchucks and he

20:26

would beat them. What

20:28

the fuck? You know how this is the 70s, too,

20:30

right? It's

20:32

a first week hot. Exactly. Not

20:36

even making this shit up. We only

20:38

f***ed out because Abe used to work at

20:40

a bank. And then while he

20:42

was working at a bank, there was a guy that came

20:44

up to him and was like, Hey, do you know so-and-so?

20:47

He goes, Yeah, that's my father. And

20:49

he goes, You look just like your dad. He goes, Oh,

20:51

what's your dad up to now? He

20:53

goes, Oh, he works at the Folsom prison. He goes, Man, that

20:55

sucks that your dad's in jail. He

20:58

goes, No, my dad is too. He's like, No, my dad

21:00

works at the prison. He goes, How long has he been

21:02

in jail? He goes, No, my dad

21:04

works at the prison. He goes, Dude, your dad was

21:06

a badass. And then he started telling him all

21:08

these stories. He was like, Oh, the stories he said was

21:10

true. He was known as his

21:12

guy. He told a very specific story, too, where he

21:14

went to this house party and somebody said some type

21:16

of racial slur to him. So

21:18

he went outside with his nunchucks and he bashed up this

21:21

dude's truck with his. Fucked

21:23

up the fucking headlights, the fucking front

21:25

mirror, the most fucking gookiest

21:27

way. Yeah, he's just walking around with the

21:29

fucking nunchucks around his neck. Yeah, like where

21:32

does he keep him? Like a fucking cornball

21:34

dude. He's looking at the green fighter bonus

21:36

level. Holy shit. Wow, about

21:38

points started flying out. Dog,

21:42

are you kidding me? But he

21:44

was known for that type of shit. That's crazy. Well,

21:46

I was actually, because you know when older parents tell

21:49

you stories, you're not sure what's real or not. Yeah.

21:52

And then when somebody confirms it like that, it's

21:54

kind of weird, dude. It's like, you know, like

21:56

I said, my mom would always give me the

21:58

gang talk and I couldn't see my. dad

22:00

that way, right? But you know, I grew up

22:02

playing baseball and my dad straight up took my

22:04

bat one day, right? And I'm like, what

22:07

the hell? Right. And I go to

22:09

complain to my mom. I'm like, dude, I

22:11

stole my bat. And

22:14

then they care so big. Yeah. And then she

22:16

told me she's like, Oh, at the store,

22:18

like a couple

22:20

vagrants or whatever attacked our next door

22:23

neighbor, the business next door. And

22:25

my dad ran out there with my bat

22:27

and beat the shit out of these two

22:29

guys. And then that's what I remember afterwards. Like

22:31

he put up this bargain, the cue for us.

22:33

And this guy had like a black guy and

22:35

like a bandage on his head. And

22:38

I think he was super grateful to my dad.

22:40

So I was like, Oh, yeah, I'll buy another

22:42

bat. I mean, wow. Yeah, shit was real back

22:44

then. Like, yeah, my dad had

22:47

straps at the store because you know, it

22:49

was in a gang neighborhood and you just

22:51

never knew like where it was going to

22:53

go. Genius Brain listeners. This podcast is brought

to you by BetterHelp. My friends, how many

22:58

times have I said it? Mental

23:00

health is mental wealth. Focus on your mental

23:02

health so you can focus on everything else

23:04

in your life. I'll tell you this, when

23:07

it comes to the new year, we tend

23:09

to beat ourselves up because we think that

23:11

we have to go ahead and just cross

23:13

out that number that we wrote last year's

23:15

a 2023, scratch it out and write it

23:19

for because you didn't accomplish anything. That's a lot of

23:21

pressure, my friends. Well, guess what? This year is going

23:23

to be a little bit different. Around New Year's, we

23:25

get obsessed with how to change ourselves instead of just

23:28

expanding on what we're already doing right. Maybe

23:30

you finally organize one part of your space

23:32

and you want to tackle another. Or maybe

26:40

That's the biggest reason why my dad spent

26:42

so much time in prison because he had

26:44

a gun and he's not supposed to. Like

26:46

yeah, that was that was a thing was

26:48

a pacifist though. I think it's because he

26:50

was a

26:52

pastor. Right. He was always like very

26:54

peaceful. And then he had

26:57

me and it's like fucking raising child. Well,

26:59

but your mom has the rage. Exactly. You

27:01

know what I hate that my mom always

27:03

says to me that pisses me off. She's

27:05

like, I'll do something that's very reminiscent of

27:07

her. And she goes, I don't know where

27:09

you learned that. It's like, bitch, what

27:11

the fuck are you talking about? You fucking maniac

27:13

from you. She goes, or did you learn how

27:15

to say all these bad words in Korean? I'm

27:17

like, literally you. There's

27:20

no way I learned this language outside of

27:22

you. What the fuck are you talking about?

27:24

Yeah, my mom tries to swear that we

27:26

don't share the same personality. Like I might

27:28

look like my dad, but I for sure

27:31

have my mom's ADHD too. Yeah. And the

27:33

thing is my mom, you know, she's

27:35

got PTSD from my dad because you

27:37

know, he's shit, but I

27:39

look exactly like him. So

27:42

that I sometimes that's why I think our relationship

27:44

is so weird because my mom always sees

27:46

my dad. It kind of triggers.

27:48

Yeah. Part of her therapy or whatever is

27:50

to just love me as me.

27:53

Not like a carbon copy like

27:55

of my dad. Just wake up in the

27:57

morning. I'm just scowled it. Yeah. fucker

28:00

up in the old good oh

28:02

it's not gonna work you

28:04

look just like your fucking dad come back she

28:09

wouldn't let me get glasses in

28:12

the fifth grade they do the public school eyecast and

28:14

then they look more like your dad I look more

28:16

like my dad I was

28:18

blind until the tenth grade when my mom was

28:20

like okay you're in high school now it matters

28:22

so she caught me classes dude that's hell

28:25

of a party isn't that crazy you

28:27

were just like the blind kid in

28:29

school I know I'm smarter than this

28:31

I just can't read the shit on the board it's such

28:33

a book room he wants to sit at the front of

28:35

the class no I just can't see

28:38

exactly what happened I had

28:40

to be in the front that's

28:42

so fucking funny how weird of

28:44

a move for your mom trauma

28:46

is real that's like

28:50

prime example of trauma and

28:52

PTSD manifesting did

28:56

you guys ever have this thing in elementary school where they

29:00

used to give you rewards for like doing

29:02

better on the multiplication table or something like

29:04

that? nah bro my fucking

29:06

was write your name on the board

29:09

and check marks for fucking getting in trouble that's not like that's

29:12

not like that I

29:14

remember this shit traumatizing it's not even that

29:16

traumatizing but for me I always remember this

29:18

so like in third grade we're like doing

29:20

the multiplication table or it was like second

29:22

grade and

29:25

every Friday they would do this thing where if

29:27

you can go up the multiplication table multiple times

29:29

so one times one, one times two, blah blah

29:31

blah two times you keep doing that the

29:34

higher that you go you would get more toppings

29:36

for your ice cream what

29:38

the fuck? they

29:40

gave you ice cream that often? ice cream sundaes

29:44

on Fridays when they would do that for the test so

29:46

it would be like fuck every Friday maybe not every Friday

29:48

because I just ate ice cream every Friday I

29:50

think it was probably maybe once a month and I just

29:53

brought my own ice cream even still they

29:57

had ice cream and I just remember I was so fucking

29:59

dumb No toppings yeah, but I

30:01

was like the fattest kid in the class. They made

30:03

me so sad Cuz

30:05

all these like skinny kids they were so

30:07

smart and they would just like have all

30:09

these fucking toppings Sprinkles cherries like whipped cream

30:11

chocolate, and I would just have like ice

30:13

cream in like one slice of banana I

30:16

couldn't go up the both vocation, but that's Did

30:20

that still like fucking dope that you got ice

30:22

cream that often for I mean shit if that

30:24

was a reward I would have maybe been better

30:26

not me. No. I was just dumb I

30:29

you know the weird thing about me is I

30:31

was competitive about math I

30:35

Was like that you're trying to fit the stereotype.

30:37

Oh, I don't know what it was cuz it

30:39

was something I was actually good at yeah, okay

30:42

like so in my math class I was like

30:44

really proud that I was at the top of

30:46

the no actually you know what when it comes

30:48

to math I was actually

30:50

like always one grade above But then

30:53

it was like once I got into

30:55

junior high and I started like really

30:57

fucking around Yeah, that's that's Even

31:00

even getting into junior high like you have to take

31:02

a placement test yeah I got

31:05

into algebra in the placement test

31:07

so I was in class with like the eighth graders

31:09

coming into seventh grade But like two

31:11

three weeks into it. I got dropped back

31:13

to pre-adjurement Just

31:15

not yeah, I would just not even doing

31:17

anything. I just sucked at school dude like

31:20

I I remember just like I think My

31:22

ADHD was so bad. Oh, yeah, I could

31:24

have fucking focus to save my fucking life

31:26

I didn't know how to study I didn't

31:28

understand the concept of people sitting there reading

31:30

and memorizing shit Yeah, bro when

31:32

it came to studying at that age It

31:35

was like there were times when I would

31:37

actually try to try like in my mind

31:39

I'm like okay. I'm gonna. I'm gonna try

31:41

to like actually study for this test I

31:44

like open up the book and I'm a fuck it's almost

31:46

smokeable You

31:49

guys these did you guys ever have like an

31:52

elementary school one of those weird kids that

31:54

just always stuck out There was this

31:56

one kid hours of course everybody everybody knows

31:58

like that one kid I had this one kid

32:01

that would always eat raw hot dogs. Oh Well

32:04

like just bring a pack of so but I

32:07

Remember he would just sit on the wall the

32:09

wall ball wall like towards the end Which

32:12

I don't know with any sense because that's the most

32:14

dangerous wall to sit next to right because the ball

32:16

I get it all the time and he would just

32:18

get this cold packet of hot dogs with a hot

32:20

dog juice and everything He was whipping out and he

32:23

went to eat it and you eat your hot dogs

32:26

This glitty gobbler dude Gave

32:31

him a pack of hot dogs and then I remember

32:33

one time just coming up to him like How come

32:35

you don't heat up the hot dog? Yeah, right? He

32:37

goes. It's just as good with his coat Like

32:40

a little southern accent is like it's good when it's

32:42

cold. I have I got from Sacramento I don't know

32:44

where the fuck he was for Just

32:48

good when it's cold and he would just bite right into the

32:50

hot dog and I'm not gonna fucking lie to you I was

32:52

like, let me get one You

32:55

could eat raw hot dog. I know I remember the first

32:57

time I ate a cold hot dog Yeah, I did not

32:59

like it. Well, I don't think I've

33:01

ever seen anybody just bust out a fucking pack

33:03

of dogs Just eat him up

33:05

the whole pack, bro Have you grabbed the whole

33:07

pack and he just cracked it open and started

33:10

eating raw hot dogs. There was this one kid

33:13

When I was in elementary, I remember him distinctly

33:15

still still even to this day. His name was

33:17

Jeffrey Any white kid

33:19

like stick it stick thin, right? He

33:22

used to come up and be like, hey,

33:24

you know, you wanna see something cool and

33:26

then oh god No,

33:29

no, it's sad Discussing

33:31

it's sad because I didn't realize that that age

33:33

Yeah I thought it was cool like he

33:35

would say it and he goes check this out

33:37

and he go like this and he pull his hair And

33:39

like just clumps would come out. Oh my so he's like

33:41

try it and I'm like what? And

33:44

then chunks of hair would just like you don't

33:46

even have to like pull hard. It's just yeah,

33:48

alopecia Dude, no, no, so I get to

33:51

it and then and then like at lunch Every

33:54

single day. This was his lunch. He

33:56

had half half

33:58

a slice of wheat bread and

34:00

three slices of pepperoni in there. That was his

34:02

lunch every single day. Never

34:04

ate it. Always gave it away. Hindsight,

34:08

I realized this motherfucker

34:10

was malnourished. That's why his hair was falling

34:12

out so easily. And

34:14

that's why he was so stick thin. He

34:16

never ate. He was sucked in like, you

34:19

know, cheeks like bone poppin'. His

34:21

hair would just fucking fall out. And

34:23

the teacher didn't do nothing! The teacher

34:25

didn't notice his skeleton walking every day?

34:28

That's what I'm saying. It's so

34:30

fucked up. If I was a

34:32

teacher and I saw a ghoul

34:34

come in. Yeah, that's a

34:36

good way to describe what he looked like. He looked like

34:38

a ghoul. There's our mascot.

34:43

And it's so fucking sad that this dude,

34:45

I don't even know if he's alive. Wait,

34:48

but then it was pepperoni and Wonder Bread

34:50

though. That has like good calories. Three

34:53

slices of pepperoni, bro. They didn't do

34:55

that hot dog boys. He

34:57

could have solved all this problem. That's what was

34:59

handing out cold hot dogs to everybody. He

35:02

was the only one that ate it though. Yeah,

35:04

so yeah. That kid

35:06

Jeffrey, another kid that stood out to

35:08

me was this guy named Joe Vuckey.

35:12

He used to have the MacGyver haircut

35:14

with the... The mullet?

35:16

Yeah, the mullet. With the

35:19

spikes and he was always

35:21

quiet and weird. But then like his

35:24

dad, like the kind of reputation

35:26

got around that his dad is kind of

35:28

like a tough guy. Like he's a boxer

35:30

and stuff and apparently he was training Joe,

35:32

right? People

35:35

kind of picked on him because he was quiet

35:37

and like very shy and soft-spoken. But

35:39

then one time I got into a fight with like

35:41

this guy and then like one or two of his

35:43

friends came in and they tried to jump me. Joe

35:46

Vuckey came and helped me

35:48

out. And this fucking piece

35:50

them up like he fucking

35:52

was like, oh shit. Damn.

35:55

Joe Vuckey. Why did

35:57

he defend you? I don't know. I

35:59

guess he's... saw me getting jumped. I saw you

36:01

pull hair out of the cell. And

36:04

I thought you were really cool. So

36:07

back in the 90s, that's

36:11

like when I was in federal way. So

36:13

now federal way is like 50% Koreans

36:16

or something. There's a huge Korean population. But back then

36:18

there was a few of us. And

36:21

I was the one Korean in sixth grade

36:23

and there was another Korean girl in the

36:25

other sixth grade class. And but lunch we

36:27

play basketball, whatever. And

36:29

then she was a tomboy.

36:32

She played basketball every day at

36:34

recess. And then I remember this

36:36

Lebanese kid whose family were refugees.

36:39

They got in a fight and they were

36:41

just started throwing hands like hardcore. And

36:44

then I remember I stood there shocked like, oh,

36:46

and then like by the time it was over,

36:48

like she had a big scratch on her neck

36:50

and shit. And then her mom

36:54

owned a VHS rental store

36:56

right to get all their dramas and shit. So

36:59

I'm going in there with her. And then I look

37:02

at the wall and it's her. And she's already

37:04

got a black belt in that window and

37:06

her mom looks at me and she was

37:09

like, why did you help my daughter? Right.

37:11

What? And then my mom's like, what?

37:13

You didn't help a girl at school.

37:15

And then these two Korean women started

37:17

berating me in the VHS store. Like

37:20

I thought these are Korean drama. But

37:24

she died. I have a doctor to do.

37:26

Yeah, I was like, oh shit. He's

37:29

a machine. I

37:31

mean, by the time we were in like seventh grade, I kind of

37:33

had a crush on her, but it moved away. And

37:35

then she found me on Instagram, like post-college.

37:38

She's lies me in. So it's like, oh,

37:41

she took care of herself. Ah, see. That's

37:43

why you didn't go and help. Yeah. You

37:45

sensed it already. She's like a pussy. What

37:48

are you supposed to do? Oh, yeah, I

37:50

was petting. Well, not only that, it's two

37:52

girls fighting. No, a dude. Oh, a dude

37:54

and a girl fighting. Oh, oh, oh. That's

37:56

one of the things she was handling in

37:58

herself. Oh, oh, OK. Yeah. Oh, but. She

38:00

had a black belt though, right? Yeah. That's why she

38:02

was fucking him up probably. Yeah, so she, I mean, cause

38:04

she went home with these scratches like, yeah, her mom

38:06

was mad at me for not... Like,

38:08

dude, she beat him up. What do you want me to

38:11

do? Can I tell you this thing? So I remember in

38:13

high school, right? Oh, not high school, sorry, elementary school. Why

38:15

I say high school? In elementary school, there was these two

38:17

brothers that they were in karate. And then

38:19

me and my brother were in Taekwondo. Well,

38:21

the Taekwondo studio that we went to when I

38:23

was a kid was very, very serious. Because our

38:25

tabunim was from Korea. So he

38:28

didn't have a lot of students.

38:30

Cause he didn't, you know, he wasn't

38:32

very nice. Yeah, he was hardcore. But everybody in

38:34

our studio, whooped everybody's ass. Cause the people who

38:36

did stick around were fucking amazing. Yeah. And he

38:38

would even fly some of his students from Korea

38:40

over to train us. Oh wow. It's the kind

38:42

of Taekwondo that was trained for the military, right?

38:45

Yes, so it's like Tangsu-do. Tangsu, yeah. Like that.

38:47

Yeah, so we would do that type of stuff.

38:49

Mm. Well, this is such

38:51

a... It's kind of

38:53

bad, kind of terrible. So like, there was

38:55

one time where, so the older brother was

38:57

my brother's age. And then the younger brother

38:59

was my age. I don't know,

39:01

I don't remember what exactly happened. But both

39:03

those guys tried to fight me and my

39:05

brother. Which was very weird. I mean, they

39:07

don't know that we're in Taekwondo and they're

39:10

in Karate. But us, all four

39:12

of us, a bunch of fucking dweebs. Yeah. Hahaha! You

39:14

know, we're like, let's do this! We got into a

39:16

fight in front of the school. Yeah. Right? And we're

39:18

in elementary school. But I remember, I

39:21

back straight kicked the shit out of

39:23

this kid. Oh, that was a donkey kick? Fucking

39:25

flew, dude. When he got

39:27

kicked in the gut, he was like, ugh! Yeah,

39:29

yeah. Couldn't fucking breathe.

39:32

Back straight kick was one of my favorite fucking

39:34

moves. Right. Especially because in our studio, we sparred

39:36

hard. Even as kids. We did the Pumsei shit.

39:38

That's what would hit us with bamboo sticks. Oh.

39:40

The fucking... I don't even know that was legal.

39:42

He was just like, come on! And we would

39:44

just have to hold it as I was crying.

39:48

And so, these kids don't know the type

39:50

of fucking terror we go through in that

39:52

studio. And then my brother beats the shit out of

39:54

this dude, too. It was the first time I ever saw

39:56

my brother cool. Ever. Never fought again. But, dude, you're a

39:58

terrible fucking... This story apparently that

40:01

kid had a heart problem. Oh, no right and

40:03

then like a month later. He fucking died. Oh

40:06

So my brother beat up a kid

40:08

with heart problems This guy is a

40:10

fucking asshole Tae Kwon Do number one

40:14

You should have picked a Tae Kwon Do that a

40:16

Japanese karate We

40:18

had to defeat our oppressors dude, so

40:20

this guy apparently the kid had like

40:23

an overgrown heart Uh-huh, and

40:25

he was sleepwalking and then his mom woke

40:27

him up while he was sleepwalking and his heart

40:29

just stopped Oh shit. A regular heartbeat. Oh my

40:31

god. That's terrible Imagine

40:33

the fucking guilt that mom must

40:35

feel like for sure like she's probably

40:37

thinking I killed my own child No, they thought

40:39

my brother did because I told everybody Hey,

40:44

you know what it could have been. It was a death

40:46

touch My

40:48

brother punched him in the heart. Brother did that one thing

40:51

with the next five point No,

40:53

that's it. I mean you gotta understand we're kids

40:55

though. So we all wanted to show our karate

40:57

kung fu movie I know I get it. I

40:59

get it. Like yeah, my experience with Tae Kwon

41:01

Do was was pretty whack because Like

41:04

I I went into it You know

41:06

I asked my mom like hey Can I can I get

41:08

into Tae Kwon Do so I could learn because you know

41:10

everybody thought it was dope as shit and

41:12

then I remember getting to like yellow belt and

41:15

then The this habunim

41:17

in a sparring session Was

41:20

like okay, you're gonna spar a brown belt. I

41:22

43:47

he got so fucking mad to the point where I had to do like

43:50

43:52

point where he grabbed the back of my belt

43:54

to help me get up because my arms were

43:56

so Tired he grabbed the back of my belt,

43:58

and he would just force me to do these Did

44:01

he ever cuss at you in Korean? Oh, look how he

44:03

did. Especially me. I

44:07

went to, when I was growing up here

44:09

in LA, and I

44:11

was at this school and my teacher was

44:13

Korean. Oh, you went

44:15

to school in LA when you remember. Yeah, yeah. Like when I was like

44:17

all the way up to second grade. Wow, okay. So

44:20

this was like in, at this point, Granada Hills. Okay,

44:22

okay. So you're in a valley. Yeah, I remember. It's

44:24

called Van Gogh Street School. Oh. And

44:27

then my second grade teacher ended up being

44:29

a Korean woman, right? Which

44:31

was super interesting. I mean everything's in English. But

44:34

one day I got in trouble for something,

44:37

and then she started screaming at me in

44:39

Korean. And I was

44:41

shocked. She went full mom

44:43

mode on you. Yeah, she went full mom. Yeah, she

44:45

went full mom. And then I was like, oh. And

44:48

then nobody knew what she was saying, right? But to

44:50

me it was like, oh shit. Like I was thinking.

44:52

Trouble. Yeah, I gotta do it. Trouble.

44:54

Is she kidding? It clearly communicated

44:57

to my parents. Yeah, yeah. I mean

44:59

getting yelled at in Korean is different.

45:01

For sure. In an American public school.

45:04

That's how you know. You're like, oh fuck, I'm

45:06

in trouble. Yeah. Dude, yo, as

45:08

we talk about this, I think my pebble

45:10

on no teacher was kind of abusive, dude. Oh, for sure. You

45:13

think? Yeah. What you mean?

45:16

You think, bro? Come on, man. They

45:18

wouldn't know that. No. I'm surprised that the

45:20

parents were cool with that shit. Well, they're

45:22

all Korean. Yeah, if you're Korean, that's normal.

45:24

That's true. Mine is like, there was

45:26

a couple kids who weren't. There was this one black kid. Yeah.

45:30

That dude was fucking funny as shit. He used to make me laugh

45:32

so fucking hard. And there was this other Filipino kid named Joshua. He

45:34

was the best out of all of us. He was so fucking good.

45:37

Was he a B-boy too? Usually.

45:39

I remember his hair too. He had like a

45:41

bowl cut. He was so fucking good. And the

45:44

black kid, he was just such a goofy kid. He

45:46

would always say like, you know, we were like, Kia!

45:48

He'd be like, Kia! He

45:51

was like, this fucking wrist-walk curb and shit. That's what was definitely

45:53

gay. Like

45:55

before we knew what gay was, there's something off about this

45:57

kid. He's a little zesty.

46:00

I'm a little too happy, something about them, but

46:02

I like them a lot. Genius

talking about our sponsor Fume. And they look at the problem in

47:59

a different way. everything in a bad habit is wrong.

Fume is an innovative, award-winning, flavored air

49:01

everybody was just, I

49:04

don't know. I mean, it kind of makes sense why it didn't

49:06

last because I felt like most studios

49:08

lasted because they were just giving belts constantly

49:10

for free. So I missed

49:13

my red belt strike to black belt. I never

49:15

got a black belt, but guess what? He only

49:17

did that test once a year. If you missed

49:19

it, you couldn't get a black belt. I had

49:21

the flu, so I couldn't take the test. I

49:23

was like, can I take the test later? He goes, no, you gotta wait a

49:26

year. He

49:28

never gave free belts ever. That's crazy. Even

49:31

this one time where, so in order to get my

49:33

green belt stripe to a blue belt, we had to

49:35

do, this one would have, you know what? I'm not

49:37

even sure if other people had to do this shit.

49:40

I had to do a jumping sidekick

49:42

over two people. This,

49:46

you know when you put ass to ass? Yeah.

49:50

We had to do a jumping sidekick and

49:52

break a board, right? So first

49:54

of all, we're kids. So

49:57

you guys didn't have to do this shit, huh? No. long

50:00

jump jumping sidekick

50:03

like fucking in the movie and like

50:05

a poster logo yeah I

50:11

did that I broke the board right then

50:13

for the final one I had to do

50:15

a jumping back kick

50:17

not over people but break the

50:19

board I miss it I

50:21

fucking gash open my whole foot on the edge of the

50:23

board all the way through I'm bleeding

50:25

all over the place so I'm

50:27

any whoops you so I miss this shit I'm fucking

50:29

crying right and

50:37

I already did the other one pretty well this is the only

50:39

time I saw kindness in him he let me

50:41

get my blue belt so I just had a punch of board

50:43

and break it yeah he saw the fucking stitches I had to

50:45

get it my foot but then

50:47

now like nobody had to do this shit because

50:50

55:49

But he was super fucking rough to with

us all of us man But you know

55:53

I'm sure you guys have your stories with

55:55

this too But you remember like growing up

55:58

and this might sound fucking like completely

56:00

left field and wild to some of y'all who

56:02

aren't Korean or Asian but When

56:05

we were kids and like we

56:07

would see like our dad's friends uncles or whatever

56:09

56:11

56:14

and and ask or not ask and be like, oh

56:20

completely fucking old hair down there. Yeah.

Yes asking to go hair But actually

56:25

an old lady like home money would

56:27

57:19

sign of affection of like, hey, let's see how big

57:55

remember other people like they would like

57:58

ball tap them or something like Oh Marie No,

58:00

it was it wasn't like like a fucking fondling

58:02

your balls type shit It was more like they

58:04

cuff and then just like kind of give a

58:06

little shake like Like

58:12

let's let's see that

58:14

jiggle action. Oh, okay. Am

58:16

I gonna have a boyfriend?

58:20

Yeah, it's like, you know, I didn't know how

58:22

to feel back then like I was like what

58:24

the fuck is I guess it's Everybody's getting it.

58:26

It doesn't feel like you're being targeted. Yeah. No,

58:28

no, no, it wasn't it wasn't just so they didn't

58:30

do that To the girls they're going They

58:34

only get the guys it was only the guys

58:36

Yeah, it was only the guys and so like

58:38

yeah It wasn't just like being singled out if

58:41

all the kids that are there like yeah,

58:44

they'd be like, oh, you know Let me

58:46

see what you money come down. We're just

58:48

it almost felt like a rite of passage.

58:50

Yes Yeah, that's a like a mansion. Exactly.

58:53

It's them basically saying oh, let's see how

58:55

far you're progressing Towards becoming a man type.

58:57

Well, that's also cuz boys in Korea. They

59:00

all get circumcised in middle

59:02

school or high school, right? Oh, they there

59:05

was a while where like a lot of Babies

59:08

didn't get circumcised. So when they got

59:10

older, that's when dudes get circumcised Wow,

59:13

okay That was one of those rite

59:15

of passages for a whole generation of

59:17

Korean men because they would all get

59:19

their fucking foreskin cut off together fuck

59:23

Feels a little lighter you got the work done I

59:27

think that's why that kind of endearment comes

59:29

from like we're bros. Oh fucking weird Yeah

59:32

Funny you guys say that there was a dude

59:34

that ended up staying at the the tech one

59:36

those studio until it closed and he became Like

59:38

a third degree black belt or whatever This

59:41

guy I won't say his name But I

59:43

remember he got his dick circumcised later on in

59:45

life Yeah, I thought it was just the funniest

59:48

thing ever because it was just like why now

59:50

dude Like you're already like 19 years

59:52

old dude I and this fool got his dicks and remember

59:54

he couldn't come to the tech one those studio for like

59:56

two weeks Cuz dick was in pain Yeah,

1:00:00

they got to make sure that you know they

1:00:02

don't get excited or you know it gets Stated

1:00:05

and I thought it was hilarious. I knew

1:00:08

somebody who was like that too. Yeah, I

1:00:10

knew another dude He got his circumcised at

1:00:12

16 why yeah? Yeah,

1:00:15

I know Koreans are like think it's

1:00:17

okay at any time of your life

1:00:19

Yeah, why would you opt to do

1:00:21

that at that point at just be comfortable with your

1:00:23

turtleneck at that and his dad was a doctor You're

1:00:27

a doctor you think this is a good idea No

1:00:32

But you know when you're younger though I know like

1:00:34

people would definitely at the time because

1:00:37

in the United States a lot of people

1:00:39

get circumcised Yeah everywhere fucking else it's like

1:00:41

not much of a thing not a thing

1:00:43

right like in Europe and also the shit

1:00:45

yeah, and I Remember I

1:00:47

was talking to a girl who's European and

1:00:50

she was the one that told me that it's

1:00:52

weird that people in the states Get their dick

1:00:54

cut and I'm like she was and I felt

1:00:56

seen I Still

1:00:59

have my turtleneck. Oh, yeah, yeah Okay,

1:01:01

that's all that what the fuck really yeah, I

1:01:03

always felt self-conscious about she goes no like but that's

1:01:06

weird Like why would you guys cut that fucking

1:01:08

shit off? Yeah, even even I don't understand why

1:01:10

like there's no purpose There's

1:01:12

absolutely it's an aesthetic thing. There's absolutely nothing

1:01:14

like health related about it Yeah, you got

1:01:17

clean little extra you mean pull the little

1:01:19

elephant skin back. Yeah, I fill it up

1:01:21

with water I read

1:01:24

on the news I When

1:01:28

you're younger you do weird things with your dick I used to

1:01:30

like pull the foreskin open and I would let the shower like

1:01:36

And I would just like let it go Water

1:01:39

will come out of my foreskin like a slug Dude

1:01:44

as a kid I can't wait to shower.

1:01:46

Oh I would just

1:01:48

keep doing it over and over I read

1:01:50

on the news that there was a guy

1:01:52

who sued his doctor who? Circumcised him as

1:01:54

a baby because now he's saying in

1:01:56

his adult life. I remember

1:01:58

this article so clearly cuz It was like the

1:02:01

sensation on the tip of my tongue is

1:02:03

for sure not as sensitive as someone who's

1:02:05

uncircumcised And then he was

1:02:07

like years of masturbation has worn off the

1:02:09

feeling That

1:02:15

is ridiculous, yeah, I

1:02:17

don't know it's not like I caught up with

1:02:20

that I wonder what he's up to if he

1:02:22

won the game. Oh shit Yeah, but that's why

1:02:24

these days there's like a movement of like anti-circumcision.

1:02:26

Yeah, Andrew Was he

1:02:28

was he yeah, okay. Yeah, and it's understandable.

1:02:31

It's understandable It's like why okay of like

1:02:33

doing surgery on my kid like if I

1:02:35

don't have to like right Why would I

1:02:38

need to write exactly and apparently there's just

1:02:40

a ton of like accidents that happen to

1:02:42

babies because of botched? circumcision

1:02:46

Like it was an episode on Law

1:02:48

and Order SVU like these two

1:02:50

sets of twins. Well, one of them had a

1:02:52

botched Circumcision now these

1:02:54

stories are based off real stories. I'm

1:02:57

right. Oh for real dramatization what

1:02:59

a Psychologist did to the

1:03:01

other kid was turn her into a girl

1:03:04

And say you're a girl and then so the

1:03:06

parents had to treat her like she's a girl

1:03:08

growing up and then by the time she's You

1:03:11

know going to puberty. She's like what the fuck

1:03:13

like I'm not a girl Yeah,

1:03:15

so apparently that's based off the true story and it's an

1:03:17

episode of that's you Fuck.

1:03:19

Yeah, but circumcision is also based in religion

1:03:21

as well Yes, yeah, man guys keep your

1:03:23

skin and fill it up with water Like

1:03:27

a little on this it's a memory dude Fucking

1:03:32

shower for so long. I'm making water balloons. I

1:03:35

remember in kindergarten favorite in

1:03:38

kindergarten our school had a

1:03:40

swimming pool and so like

1:03:42

every Month or so we'd all go out

1:03:44

to the swimming pool But then because we're

1:03:46

just babies like kids We would all just

1:03:48

get undressed together in the classroom and put

1:03:50

on our swim trunks and that's when

1:03:52

I saw my first Uncertimized

1:03:55

yeah, it was weird for me when I first saw yeah,

1:03:57

and it was what is that? It's an Indian Yeah

1:04:00

It looks like a... That was a bitch,

1:04:02

honk. No, but it was... The

1:04:04

tip was gone. It was just like... Like, what is that?

1:04:06

That's why we took that. And then I say, hey, yo,

1:04:09

hold up. I'm

1:04:11

like, that's a... That

1:04:13

real good. Seriously, I'm like, honk. Like, that

1:04:15

looks like an anteater or something. You gotta

1:04:17

flick it. Like, what is that, dude? It

1:04:20

is the natural way your penis is... No, I know,

1:04:22

but... But, you know, when you see

1:04:24

your own dick in your circumstance and you see that

1:04:26

for the first time, it's very weird. I remember I

1:04:29

saw my cousin's dick, and

1:04:31

then he didn't have his winter vest

1:04:33

on. Yeah. His sweater weather wasn't there. And

1:04:35

then I was like... The first thing I

1:04:37

thought was, doesn't that hurt? Because, like,

1:04:40

if fabric touches it, doesn't it hurt? Yeah.

1:04:42

Because it's just exposed. Like, if my thing's

1:04:44

exposed and it hits fabric, that

1:04:46

shit hurts. That's the point of that lawsuit, is

1:04:49

that it's a clear sign. You got your sensitivity

1:04:51

still. Your guys is just, like, half numb. I

1:04:53

bet sex for you is, like, awesome,

1:04:55

bro. That's why I said, remember I told you the first time I

1:04:57

had sex? I just put it in, and I was like, I'm having

1:04:59

a good time! But the girls were having a

1:05:01

terrible time. But... That's... That's... But

1:05:04

do you even have to put it in? You already put it in,

1:05:06

wouldn't you? Yeah, you

1:05:08

already did. That's why whenever I insert

1:05:10

it, I was like, dude, this is amazing. That's

1:05:13

why you guys have to do so much work. Yeah.

1:05:15

Yeah, it takes a while. Actually, yeah, that is true,

1:05:17

huh? Uncircumcised dicks are probably more

1:05:19

sensitive, because our dicks are chafing all the

1:05:21

time on. Oh, is it? Yeah.

1:05:23

That's fucking terrible. No, it's not chafing, but, you

1:05:25

know, it's rubbing against, like, whatever.

1:05:28

Whatever, yeah. I have a warm blanket over

1:05:30

mine all the time. That's why I understand,

1:05:32

like, how motherfuckers go commando in jeans and

1:05:34

shit. You know, like, dude, your dick is

1:05:36

fucking rubbing on the zipper, like, how... Oh,

1:05:38

yeah. Like, how you do that? There's

1:05:41

some underwears that just... Their fabric gets all

1:05:43

whatever. It's like, I can't wear that shit,

1:05:45

not just for my waist or

1:05:47

ass or anything, but literally chafing on the

1:05:50

wall. That's why, like, with uncircumcised penises, you

1:05:52

know, like, when you shake off your dick,

1:05:54

that's very important. Yeah. Because we have extra

1:05:56

skin that, once again, it'll water balloon and

1:05:58

collect. You have to shake

1:06:00

it off. You have to shake it off. Do

1:06:04

you give the side to side or the up

1:06:06

and down? I go, I'm just like, oh, You're

1:06:08

gonna put a circle up there. I'm gonna make

1:06:11

this shit dry, dude. It's not dry. It'll stick

1:06:13

on my pants and then you start stinking. I'm

1:06:15

just like, I remember when I was a kid,

1:06:17

like, you don't think about like cleaning your penis

1:06:20

and then, like, TMI for a lot of people out there, but when

1:06:22

you're a kid, you're just dirty as fuck. And you

1:06:24

see like, you know, Smegma. Smegma.

1:06:26

And I'm like, what the fuck is this?

1:06:29

After that, water ballooned all day, dude. So

1:06:33

you guys already know. Playing with it keeps it

1:06:35

clean, right? 100%, dude. And then the people used

1:06:37

to tell you, like, if you do more

1:06:40

than two shakes, that means you're playing with your dick. But

1:06:42

when you're not circumcised, you gotta shake that

1:06:44

thing about, dude. I don't fucking, I don't

1:06:46

care about no fucking rule. You shake it till

1:06:48

it's, you know, till it's dry. Yeah.

1:06:52

Fucking go at it, dude. I

1:06:55

do it like I'm fucking, like an exorcism.

1:06:58

Like I sprinkle holy water in the name of the... Dude,

1:07:01

like, you know, in middle school,

1:07:03

like, I swear to God,

1:07:05

like, American white people have like the craziest

1:07:08

pranks. You know, I'm going, I'm

1:07:10

in a urinal and I'm just doing this, so

1:07:12

my hands are occupied with my pants and my

1:07:14

dick. And a dude came up to

1:07:16

me, grabbed my shoulders, and just shook

1:07:18

me left hand, right? And

1:07:21

I couldn't do anything. If I let go

1:07:23

of my shit, then it's even more uncontrollable.

1:07:25

Yeah. Goddamn, yeah. That

1:07:28

is a crazy prank. You're fucking crazy, shit. What

1:07:30

a weird prank. Like, who wins? Yeah, what the

1:07:32

fuck was that? Who's winning it? Who's laughing? The

1:07:35

guy who was shaking me. What the

1:07:37

hell? These guys got groped. I'm

1:07:41

over here getting assaulted by a fucking 35-year-old man, just

1:07:43

beating the shit out of me as my grandma cheers

1:07:45

me on. Yeah, no,

1:07:47

so, you know, when I talk to my homies about that,

1:07:50

like, all of them, it happened to them too.

1:07:52

And I was like, yeah, we definitely can't be

1:07:54

doing that to, like, our kids or your shit.

1:07:56

Yeah, I'm not going to do that shit. Yeah,

1:07:58

there's no right of passage. You're either you

1:08:01

know now that we're so multicultural like we do that

1:08:03

in front of our other friends I'm like what the

1:08:05

fuck are you doing? Yeah, like oh, this is what

1:08:07

we do. It's so It's so

1:08:09

different of like how we grew up

1:08:11

how we got Discipline and like how

1:08:14

these new kids are growing up and

1:08:16

getting discipline now. It's like night and

1:08:18

day I mean obviously, you know the

1:08:20

parents now are hopefully are more educated

1:08:22

and better equipped to like Properly

1:08:25

deal with their children rather than just beat their ass

1:08:27

if they do something wrong. Yeah, but You

1:08:30

know there The shit he

1:08:32

kicks dude. Yeah, there there is there is a

1:08:34

part of me where I'm like, huh You know

1:08:36

don't coddle them too much though. Like, you know

1:08:38

what I mean? You don't want to I think

1:08:40

there's a fine balance Yeah, if I look back

1:08:42

at it, I definitely would tell my dad like

1:08:44

not to throw an office chair at me Pops

1:08:49

I don't think you should be knocking me out, you

1:08:51

know But I still remember what that chair looks like

1:08:53

and we still have it in the house Yeah, like

1:08:55

to this day we still have it. It's this blue

1:08:57

office chair It was my office chair as a kid.

1:08:59

Yeah, and then when he I normally threw at

1:09:01

me the back piece broke off Yeah, it's just a

1:09:03

round part that you just sit on. It's like a

1:09:06

stool when we still have it dude My dad mag

1:09:08

light my brother like, you know,

1:09:10

like a cop when they hold their mag

1:09:12

lights like this, right? My dad took a

1:09:14

mag light bonk over that. God. God. She's

1:09:17

hella heavy you know, you know what was

1:09:19

the fuck in one of the worst like

1:09:21

psychological warfare's that the Asian

1:09:23

parents used was they make you pick out

1:09:25

what you're gonna get your oh my I

1:09:27

hated that Yeah, cuz it's like you got

1:09:29

to be like, okay I can't go too

1:09:31

small because then they're gonna get more pissed

1:09:33

that I'm like copping out Yeah, but then

1:09:35

I don't want to get too big because

1:09:37

then I don't get my ass be too

1:09:40

hard So it's like you sit there

1:09:42

contemplating like what's the perfect size here

1:09:44

to get my ass beat with where?

1:09:46

Yeah, yeah, that would get Bored

1:09:49

of my weapons So if I

1:09:51

brought him like a clothes hanger like a metal one

1:09:53

and I brought it again the next couple times Last

1:09:58

week come

1:10:01

on really you think that you think that's

1:10:03

gonna be good enough for your punishment all

1:10:06

right let me try yeah I had a little

1:10:08

fun apparently like bring out their

1:10:10

face until you head huddle face I've seen

1:10:12

another person I hated that shit my dad

1:10:14

would just bring out his knuckles like punch

1:10:16

yourself in the face fucking fiction event how

1:10:18

go is that I

1:10:21

wouldn't do it like hard enough you know he

1:10:23

would just maybe go harder until

1:10:25

you felt satisfied guys you guys

1:10:27

ever make a fist at your

1:10:29

pops at a certain point nope I've the

1:10:31

only time I've ever got physical with my dad was

1:10:34

once and it was when I was old and we

1:10:36

never got into it again but I think I just

1:10:38

got tired of him like physically yeah

1:10:40

yeah yeah yeah you definitely get to

1:10:42

that point yeah I think the first

1:10:44

time that I made a fist

1:10:46

at my pops he's like the

1:10:48

fuck was that I was like yeah

1:10:53

1:10:57

always you want to fight me I was

1:11:00

like no no I didn't make a fist and

1:11:02

then he's like I saw you make the fist and

1:11:04

I probably pissed it off yeah I said fuck this

1:11:06

I turned around I got knocked out

1:11:10

before you the back of the head yeah I woke up on

1:11:12

the fucking ground I was like what the fuck happened what

1:11:15

did your mom say I don't think my mom saw cuz it was

1:11:17

just me and my pops in the room oh

1:11:19

shit so your mom know about this I don't

1:11:21

think so that's crazy yeah that would have been

1:11:23

but but but you know that's like that old-school

1:11:26

you don't fucking disrespect me type shit right so

1:11:28

you made the fifth like fucking cab driver did

1:11:30

to me dude why I that was like why

1:11:36

I cuz you know I think this is like when I

1:11:38

was in on 12 13 years old so now I'm kind

1:11:42

of like feeling myself you know and I feel

1:11:44

like a little more confident about fighting and shit

1:11:47

and I'm like nah you you

1:11:49

know we're not we're not gonna be doing that anymore we're not

1:11:51

gonna play that game and then I learned

1:11:54

real quick like

1:11:57

shit he's still my that's the worst you

1:11:59

ever got your ass whipped by your dad? No,

1:12:02

no, cause the thing is I don't even know what happened.

1:12:06

I didn't even feel it. I was

1:12:08

like, nah, I don't remember shit. I

1:12:10

just fuckin', I fuckin', I landed face

1:12:12

first on my stomach and

1:12:15

I just like, I opened my eyes and I was like,

1:12:17

what the fuck happened? I was just on the floor. You

1:12:19

know what's so weird too, as we get older, maybe not

1:12:21

with your dad, but with my dad. Like I look at

1:12:23

my dad and then I see him, like especially at the

1:12:25

wedding and I saw him and I was like, I

1:12:27

can't believe I let this dweeb beat my ass. Well,

1:12:31

come on man, he's a senior citizen now.

1:12:33

Like he's old bro. Fuckin' nerd. Nah, they're

1:12:35

like, what's wrong with you man? The funniest

1:12:37

shit was like, yeah, that when you

1:12:39

and your mom were dancing and shit and

1:12:41

like having a good time while your pops

1:12:43

kept trying to say like, yeah, your mom

1:12:45

wants to go, your mom can feel it

1:12:47

sick, it's feeling sick right now. What you

1:12:49

talking about? You're having a damn good time.

1:12:51

Fuckin' maniac dude. One

1:12:53

time my dad challenged

1:12:55

me to armistling for some reason. Your dad

1:12:57

is so funny dude. Wake up!

1:13:00

Come on. But I beat

1:13:02

him. I beat him out 15. Wow.

1:13:05

Like yeah, fuck yeah. After

1:13:07

that, he started being a fucking asshole,

1:13:10

like a bully. He

1:13:12

started making me come to the store to just

1:13:14

carry heavy shit. Oh, you think you're

1:13:16

so strong? Yeah, he kept saying that. You're

1:13:19

strong, pick this up, pick this up.

1:13:21

But that's impressive though, because like even

1:13:23

at 15, my pops was built like

1:13:25

an ox. I could never

1:13:27

fucking beat him in armrest. I think by the time

1:13:30

I was 15, my dad must've been a mess. Oh,

1:13:32

yeah. You were like, why in

1:13:34

your fucking face? Some

1:13:40

of the shit he would make me

1:13:42

do is mess people stuff. Like

1:13:44

we had a pawn. Organized these pins.

1:13:47

Yeah, we had a pawn in our

1:13:49

backyard, right? He made me go in there and

1:13:52

brush the fucking rocks. What

1:13:54

the fuck? Like every individual rock and I'm like, I don't

1:13:56

get it. Why? I

1:14:00

was thinking in my head like, is this because I beat you

1:14:02

in armos kind of thing? And then

1:14:04

one day- You hurt your dad's pride. Yeah. Oh

1:14:07

yeah, that's massive hit to the fucking pride.

1:14:09

One day he's just fucking mad being an

1:14:11

asshole to me again and then he yanks

1:14:13

out the Xbox, he yanks out like the

1:14:15

other stuff. I don't even know what he's mad

1:14:17

about and he's fucking tossing it, right? And

1:14:20

the thing about the Xbox is that my sister, that's

1:14:22

actually my sister's, she worked all somewhere

1:14:24

at the gas station to save up and buy it and

1:14:27

my dad fucking throw it, right? That's why I was like,

1:14:29

Apa, what are you doing? That's sort of smack

1:14:32

across the face and then

1:14:35

I remember looking at him and

1:14:38

it was just quiet, right? We just looked eye to eye

1:14:40

and then he started to tear up and then he just

1:14:42

like, I ruined

1:14:44

my daughter's station. Oh, that's what he is

1:14:47

tearing up for. I wanted to hurt Ed.

1:14:51

Yo, what the fuck? Meth is a

1:14:53

crazy drug, dude. Dude, that's insane. Because

1:14:55

I feel like with my dad, I

1:14:58

mean, I definitely was a crazy kid, so I

1:15:00

understand, but they didn't know how to manage their

1:15:02

anger very well. Oh yeah, yeah. It's just

1:15:04

easier to bully somebody who's smaller than

1:15:06

them, especially with my dad. My dad's not a big guy. So

1:15:09

my dad, my thing's like, come

1:15:11

on, man, you know you ain't about this

1:15:14

life. What are you doing? Why are you

1:15:16

doing this to me? You know what I

1:15:18

mean? It's like, if I see you on

1:15:20

these streets, I'll fuck you. I'll beat your

1:15:22

fucking ass, dawg. The thing is, we got

1:15:24

to remember too, it's, man, they were raised

1:15:26

by our grandparents. Which were war-torn. Yeah, war-torn.

1:15:29

My grandfather was a war criminal. Right.

1:15:32

I mean, so that's what they know. You

1:15:34

know what I mean? And

1:15:36

they just kind of, it

1:15:38

was one of those things where maybe they did

1:15:41

think about, oh, maybe I shouldn't be doing something

1:15:43

like this. But then when that moment hits, you

1:15:45

just kind of revert back to what you know.

1:15:48

You don't think. So like, you might hit

1:15:50

your kid, you might do something that, yeah, maybe you

1:15:52

thought I'm not going to do it like that. But

1:15:55

they're not like really checking themselves because their

1:15:57

day-to-day is just that fucking immigrant hustle. Making

1:16:00

ends meet they're stressed. They're

1:16:02

frustrated life. What is that?

1:16:04

I just fucking provide for the family and then

1:16:06

and then you little check you come over here

1:16:09

Trying to act like a little better Well, my mom today

1:16:11

went on the phone because I worked out

1:16:13

like a couple days ago And then I thought I had a

1:16:15

1:16:17

difference because I was just in pain and I told my mom I

1:16:20

1:16:26
