0:00 [Music] Welcome back to another episode of Careful. Shot with Leave it down, dude. We just shot with Ta. Um, and let's just talk about it for a little bit, man. Like, is there any truth to him saying that you have that hard of a time on the toilet? >> What do you mean? Like on roller coaster? Yeah. Throws his hands up. Did he just make that up or was there at least one time that you were like making a lot of noise? >> So me and Gio from morning till night, >> we talk to each other all day. >> Oh, okay. Okay. >> So I think everything that he observes is in that frame. So if I go like poop again, like let's say like second time or whatever, Jill like, "Oh my god."

0:50 Again, all you do is live in there. Yeah, that's all you ever do, Dad. You just poop all day. >> I see. And then if I go do something, like let's say I go pull out the trash or do whatever, I'm like, "Oh, I got to go do everything in this house." And he'll go, "Yeah, mom. Dad does everything. Dad needs to relax. He needs to get a massage." So we just talk ████ to each other all day. And that's like his frame. So he probably thinks that I just ████ all day. To be >> fair, three times a day is a lot. >> Yeah, I do. >> How many grams of protein, dude? >> Is that good for you? >> Um, >> not if it's explosive diarrhea. >> If it's diarrhea, >> but protein does that to you sometimes. So I'll So usually it's one or two. >> Yeah. >> But then sometimes if I drink coffee later in the afternoon, I'll have to go a third time. >> Yeah. >> I wish I went that often. I heard it's better. >> How often do you poop? >> Once every two days. >> On average. Yeah. >> Some people Some people are different. >> You ever try creatine and Korean barbecue?

1:40 >> Hell yeah, brother. >> What? >> Hey, take 15 g of creatine. You won't get off the toilet. >> And Korean barbecue >> and then you'll actually ride the roller coaster. >> Yeah, dude. The his creativity is so funny. the idea of making up a scenario where you don't want to go to Universal Studios anymore cuz you ████ like a roller coaster. >> Yeah, cuz you got you got Universal at home. >> Yeah. That you have to lock bars to take a ████ >> I liked how he added the detail of like Bart having to hold on to the bar >> and that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's just And I'm like, "Yeah, that's probably a thing." >> He added, "That's why you only went like two times." His his imagination. Yeah, his imagination is crazy cuz I think >> as a kid you like envision something cuz this morning we're eating and I'm like, "Oh ████ is that Cooper's toy in the

2:30 pool?" The like he just had a little shoe toy, right? And he goes, "Oh yeah, that is Cooper's toy in the pool." It was like I'm drowning. And he goes and I'm like, "What the f███?" Like we were eating eggs and he had to get out of his seat to do this whole crazy act out cuz he imagined he was the toy going like all the way to the bottom. >> That's awesome, man. >> I'm like I'm like adults don't do that. I mean it'd be weird, right? If you're like chilling and just jump out of the I can start doing that. >> I start doing physical acts. >> I feel like I used to do that but the fire died in me. >> Your parents were like, "Hey, shut up. >> Hey, sit your ass down. >> Finish your breakfast. >> Shut up. >> Exactly." Like >> they were tired of that ████ >> dude. Yeah, I know. >> Was like, "Stop being annoying." >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly, dude. It cuz that is the innate way of like explaining stuff when you're a kid.

3:21 >> Like you got to act it out. >> Yeah. And you just It's like impulse like like uh what is it? The as soon as that that synapse or whatever snaps, you're like but then like you get the per the mom or dad that's like stop. >> They're just I'm tired of your ████ I'm not doing this right now. But it's hard to stop him cuz it's fun to watch. >> Yeah. >> I I don't know how if I ever have a kid that does that will I ever be. >> But what gets people to not have fun with that? Cuz all of our parents were like they're they're different. THEY'RE JUST LIKE STOP, SIT BACK DOWN. >> AND THEY DON'T THINK IT'S funny at all. >> Or maybe they're tired of that ████ >> Like we've done it way too much. So they're like, "Let's new material. Something else." >> Yeah. >> Or there's a time and a place, right? Cuz if you're just at home chilling, it's like okay, you know, they'll tolerate it more. But if you're like out and you're trying to get somewhere, you're kind of like, "Cut the s███." >> My meter is more tolerant than Gio's though. So if we're in a rush to get Tao

4:12 to sports, right? I'm like, "Hey, Ta, go go go put your ghee on or whatever." He'll go and then like I walk by. I'm like, "Dude, it's been 5 minutes. How come his s███'s not on him?" I go in the room and he's like, "Ah, snake." And there's a ████ blanket all over him. Gio's like, "What's taking so ████ long?" I'm like, "The snake got him." He's like, "Shut up. WE GOT TO GO. >> STOP PLAYING. You're playing with them. I'm in trouble, too. We're late. >> We're late. >> You report his facts. >> The snake, babe. You know the snake. >> Snake got him. >> But anything can trigger and turn into his own world, which is crazy. >> Yeah, man. Damn. I hope he never stops doing that. >> He's like 15. He's still doing that. >> So funny, man. >> It'll look different. It'll look different by then. >> Yeah. Yeah. It'll be more refined. >> Yes. >> But I'm sure it'll be there, you know. It's funny how he's like working bits

5:02 out though, you know? >> Yeah. >> You can see it. You're like, "Oh, yeah. He's he's trying to he's coming up with a premise and he's building on it." >> It's like Groundlings right there. >> This is improv uh troop right here, >> dude. Yeah. I could watch a whole set just about Bart pooping according to Tao. >> He had that ready to go. Do you think that's what he had prepared? >> Well, like I was trying to get him to speak on more real things cuz, you know, he's just making up crazy stuff and he's actually he's funnier when he's talking about real things. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. So I was like or to me and then uh versus just making up stuff. Oh, you're like you're a lizard that's 5 million, right? 5 million years old. So that's why I was like I knew a part a day a part that made him laugh really hard when we're playing basketball. >> Oh, okay. >> And then so I was like I was like LeBron and I farted on purpose and I shot >> Oh, it was on purpose. >> It was on purpose. >> He was just dying. Huh. >> I knew I knew like fart would like open it up to like other ████ to him.

5:53 >> It's always a good one. Easy gateway >> to comedy. >> Yeah. Especially if they're a kid. Yeah, dude. They love >> say when you were like, "Yeah, but what about when mom mom mom pooped and came out the bathroom and you went in there? What it smell like?" And he's all good. >> This double down is really funny. Yeah, >> mom. Yeah. >> She's like, "It never smells. Everything about factual >> and he made up everything else about everybody else. >> Her ages are Yeah. All her ages are crazy. How old's your mom?" 42. She's She's watching from back there and she's all like >> you're five, you're 900 or whatever, >> dude. Yeah, that's so good, man. >> She's Mexican. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And she's Mexican. >> Everyone else is just somehow crazy ████ >> I know. >> I'm glad he's embracing his Mexican side

6:44 again, right? >> He recognizes he's >> Yeah, cuz for a while he was like, "Yeah, I'm only Chinese." >> Exclusive to China. Yeah. Oh, one thing we should have done maybe next time. >> Explore his autistic side. >> What is that? >> Ask him random world events and he'll ████ tell you the dates. >> Really? >> And they're on point. >> Which ones? >> Oh, >> when World War II started. >> Memorize his dates really well. >> Yeah. Or like when Babe Ruth had the first home run or whatever. He He says it. I'm like, "What the f███?" I'm like, "Hey, Google, when did Babe Ruth win?" It's like, "Oh, that time." I'm like, "What the ████ You're ████ crazy." >> So, what do what does he know that about? Like, what areas of >> I don't know. He just likes dates. Like I'll say something like, "Oh, that's when that happened." But and it'll be logged and synchronized. Oh, that's when the Coline shooting was. And it'll be said that Yeah. It'll be like the same date but across different worlds. He'll he'll sync those dates together like a almanac.

7:34 >> Wow. Weird. >> It's weird. He likes that. >> He probably in his mind painted like a calendar and then >> he sees where there's a previous thing. >> He's just filling in the blanks like, "Oh, this when great grandma was born. That's when like people started drinking root beer." >> So it's like he's collecting A lot of random days. That's when the hamburger was invented. >> Random. >> Holy ████ >> You like you ask him like, "Hey, when did when did Hines first make ketchup?" He'll tell you. He like 18, whatever. >> He's just a Snapple cap, dude. >> That's great. What other things does he do that are similar to that? >> That's kind of like >> his artsiness. >> I think that's it. Can you start seeing his talents though of like >> like >> what he has an act for? >> Not really. >> I mean comedy's comedy's one.

8:24 >> How about like physical stuff like like soccer or basketball, jiu-jitsu? >> Not very uh I think in terms of realm of sports, the most important thing is the dog. He doesn't have that. >> Oh. >> So because he doesn't have that, it's harder to see how the other parts fall fall in line. Um, he's not the fastest kid. He doesn't jump the the most. >> So, it's still I'm still trying to watch and see what he likes. And we're we're going to put him in music probably in the next year. >> So, we'll see if there's anything. >> Does he have an interest in music so far? >> Yeah. Well, I asked So, like I'm >> I'm in the school of thought where kids don't know ████ So, it's up to the parents to like force them to do things. But I also believe in if they have a choice in what they do, they're more on board. >> So I told him, um, I don't care what

9:15 instrument you choose, >> but you're going to play a musical instrument, so you choose. >> And then he's like, okay. And then, uh, he was I was like, what do you want to play? And he goes, I want to play the boom whacker. >> What is that? >> The he wants to play. I'm like, no, a real one. >> That's a real instrument? I guess so. I was like, no, I want you to play a real instrument. >> I know about that. And >> did you take him to like a guitar center and like have him mess around with different things? >> Whacker? >> No, not yet. But I I I want him to like Yeah, I'll like try guitar, keys, drums, whatever, saxophone. >> And then that way cuz I told him I'm like, um, I've never met an adult >> that plays an instrument. They go, I wish I never played. >> It's the other, it's the opposite, you know? So I'm like, so that's why I want you to play. >> And then if you play like three years and you really hate it, then stop. But most adult >> that is the interesting thing is it's

10:05 years of hating it. >> Yeah. And then you're like, damn, I kind of like >> Yeah, it's so rare that >> until you get good >> people stick through that and then like it cuz you like it in like the freaking eighth year or something like that. >> Well, the way the way >> grind, you know, dude took me forever. >> The way that I frame it, too, cuz he was like, "Where are we going to do it?" I'm like, "It's my job to make sure you come out to be like a cool human. So, as a dad, I have to make sure you do these things." And he's like, "Okay, I understand then." >> Oh, that's cool. >> Yeah, it's kind of kind of kind of cool. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah, that is great. >> We'll see if he comes by next time. He's ████ shredding on the guitar or something. >> If you had if you had a choice of what you would want him to play, what would it be? >> Keys. >> Yeah, >> keys will have that'll have the most versatility. >> Yeah, cuz I keys cuz especially where the keyboards are now, >> you could play like ████ harps, accord you could play everything, trumpets. So, I think it's the gateway to everything else versus if you learn just guitar.

10:56 You can't really do it the other way. >> And you you learn a lot more music theory in keys. Yeah, because you're responsible for for the chords, the scales, everything. you learn more of that cuz if you're just like doing I mean sachs you will still learn those things but it's it's not like you can play like 10 notes at once. >> I can't play saxs too. >> What? >> I can't play sachs. >> I'm sorry sir. >> This is about me now. >> Yeah. Plus it's it's only like it's such a lateral move to go from keyboards to like uh producing electronically like cuz it's it's you you're it's not a foreign language when you're looking at it laid out. Yeah. told him like, "Hey, start thinking about it cuz in two weeks I'll get back to you what you want to play." And he goes, "Let me do I want to play drums." >> I was like, "No, I actually don't want you to play drums." >> His eyes. >> I actually don't want you to play drums. >> Might be kind of crazy. >> Yeah, that was nuts, dude. >> Plus, it's nice that you you could

11:46 practice keyboards with headphones in. >> Yeah. Huh. Drums. >> Well, that's a really big factor. >> Yeah, cuz I had I had to do that at home or else like I would get in trouble. I They got me electronic keyboard with headphones so that would I wouldn't disturb anybody. That's >> Yeah. And it feels more private like cuz you know like sometimes you want to >> you don't want to sound like you're ████ up. >> Yeah. You want to be creative but you don't want people to like judge it that are around you. So you just you can just do it to yourself. It's nice. Yeah. >> Michael will care about that. >> I don't think so. >> Yeah. Maybe not. >> But yeah, that's cool. He's gonna start that next year. That's dope.
