0:00 Do they treat you like you're dumb? Do they talk slower to you guys and stuff? >> Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. >> They start like that. >> I I I always feel like I need to talk slower around meats. >> Do you know where Baffum is >> like that? >> Welcome back to Care for Boys. Today we got a bunch of meattheads with us today. And and the big thing that we want to talk about, there's a lot of uh I guess people online who say that meattheads are dumb. You guys are stupid. You're basically walking Neanderthalss and ████ and you can barely talk or walk or even read or write. Hey, we we kind of want to but we want to bury bore through that. Kind of talk about the misconceptions about y'all. >> So, you have the floor. >> I mean, the average meathead is a stupid person. >> Yeah. >> Oh, my bad, dude.
0:50 >> All right. I thought you guys were a little deeper. >> Archetypes and stereotypes exist for a reason. Statistically accurate. >> Hey, real talk though. This >> and I are real. this uh stereotype about like the jock that's stupid but muscular. It only really exists in the west cuz in Asia you can be athletic but you're not no one looks and and there's no stereotype of being a dumbass because you're athletic. It's actually the contrary. You're smart, you're athletic, you have you're like the whole package. So I don't know where that came from. Yeah. >> Do I believe you? >> It's true. You should watch more anime. >> Japan. >> Oh, you're getting realistic appraisals of Asian culture from anime. Cool. >> You should watch K drama, dude. The ████ soccer player is also the smartest ████ too. >> The soccer player. >> Do you watch Disney movies and assume that's real life? >> They don't have They don't have powerlifters. >> Real sports. >> No.
1:40 >> Yeah. They don't have shock puddters. >> Shock puddters. >> Shock. >> Uh, >> shock pters, man. >> Read a book, dude. >> Yeah. >> Don't know how. >> Let's just change cuz stereotypes exist for a reason, guys. Okay. That's why. >> What's your favorite stereotype? >> Yeah. What's your What's your favorite stereotype? The buff dude that's dumb. >> No, that's not my favorite. >> I like that. >> Was in every '9s movie where you have even like uh like Biff, right? He's like this bigger dumb guy. >> Yeah, as long as you wear a varsity jacket, you're >> why where did that even come from? I don't even know. Like where you're from. >> It has to be from like real life experiences back then for the writers or the directors. >> So they're like they're usually the ████ So let's write that in. Oh, >> cuz you're saying that all the writers are just like skinny little nerds that want to get back at the job. >> That's probably how they got to it. Yeah, >> usually. >> Cuz in this day and age, I feel like uh
2:31 the whole fitness industry kind of turned that on its head. Like every guy that I know that's a meat head has somehow that's a decent following has now built their own brand is probably sponsored by a supplement company, is an entrepreneur. Like I would say out of the all the the different types of influencers I see on social media, the highest middle class one is meads. >> They might not be like a multi-millionaire, but a lot of fitness influencers are above the 100k, 200k a year threshold. >> But that's not very fun, Bart. >> No, >> we're trying to generalize and stereotype. >> Also, we're going to keep this. >> We're going to keep this a comedy podcast. Wait, does >> doesn't that also correlate though when you're talking about influencers in general? Like, and you said it yourself, like if you got like a like a eight pack, you're going to get clicks. You
3:23 could be smart, you could be dumb, but like that's hot and and people like hot, right? It's like it's like there's the conversation that people who are just born hot, like you already have something worth selling >> or born athletic. >> Yeah. You didn't have to necessarily work for it. And no discredit to it. Like if I was like ████ a 10 out of 10 fine, I'm going to abuse that versus try to get really talented. >> Hey, you're abusing your nine pretty hard, brother. >> Your nine's getting beat up out there. >> Fishing for compliments 101, baby. I loved it. >> Hey, you know what? You guys ████ make me blush. >> If you were a girl, your Instagram would be like, I'm not a 10 out of 10, but I'm doing my best. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Woke up flawless. My legs just sit a lot more jock like real quick with Subie. Hey man, >> what? Relax, bro. It's friendly. >> Do you guys find that like say you're having just a normal interaction, people
4:13 who don't even know you, right? Like do they treat you like you're dumb? Do they talk slower to you guys and stuff? >> Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. >> They start like that. >> I I always feel like I need to talk slower around meats. >> Do you know where Baffum is >> like that? >> What about this? Uh is it a a stereotype where like let's say you go eat with your regular friends and like, "Oh, let me guess. You're going to get the chicken one." Oh, absolutely. >> I got to pick the boring. >> My regular friends are used to me >> doing that ████ but they're completely correct. Just accurate stereot. >> Yeah. Are you allowed to eat this? My my So, my parents >> Yeah. >> still have never bifurcated two entirely different concepts. >> Yep. >> One, is the food that we are offering you good for you at this phase of your diet? Or two, is it a food you like? To them, it's the same question. So they'll be like, "Hey, do you want like this plate of like eight of the veggies that you think are disgusting and have never
5:03 eaten your entire life and ostensibly we know who you are because we ████ raised you in our home, but whatever." And I'm like, "Oh, no thanks. I'm good." And my dad will be like, "But it's fiber." And I'm like, "Dad, there are foods I don't eat because I don't like them, even though they're approved to eat." And my dad has never once in his life bothered to ask. Like, >> can I get to know you? >> My dad arguably has no idea who I am. Yeah, he couldn't pick me out of a crowd. >> Isn't that your dad? >> I was I was wasn't going to say it, but yes, he is. And uh you know what? When your dad gets to know you, he gives you a lot of like it's like the ultimate recognition, right? And recognition leads to what we know in science it leads to underachievement. Asians, >> Asians, Asians only here. >> Ching Chong >> has is it accurate to say that Asians have deep connected getting to know you relationships with their fathers? ████
5:54 no. >> Hell no. ████ no. >> Dad barely knows who we are. And that's what keeps you guys being the overachievers of the world. White people in the suburbs, their dads are great. They take walks with the golden retriever. They have talks when they're nine that are personal. These white kids end up going to college and dropping out cuz he's smoking too much weed. That's how that works. Jared never knew knew who I was. He just knew I was at the receiving end of beatings. And I tell you what, he raised me right. >> Nice. >> We smoke a lot of weed, too, but we still excel in school. >> Damn, what a flex. >> Yeah. Where'd you go to school, Joe? Cal State LA. I'm an unlicensed psychologist. >> Hell yeah, pimp. >> Flex your ████ bro. >> Dude, that's like such a sweet line to drop on a date. She's like, "So, like, what do you like know?" You're like, "I know pretty good psychology. I could like, you know, psycho analyze you." And she's like, "Um, okay." Like, >> now, "Oh my god." And you're like, "Well, I have to tell. I got to warn you." She's like, "Why?" You're like, "I'm unlicensed." She's like, "Oh my
6:44 god, it's so risky. Let's do it." You're like, "Um, you kind of seem like a ████ whore." She's like, "Oh my god, how do you know that >> you're practicing without a license? How can you?" >> Yeah. Like I live dangerous. >> Hell yeah, dude. >> ████ >> Yeah. Oh, the actual thing. >> Um I the vast majority of people that don't know who Jared and I are and they start talking to us or have talked to us uh airports and stuff, airplanes, they're usually a combination of several things. One is incredibly polite. One, because people are just nice. And two, when you look like like a war machine or something, people are just generally like scared of you a little bit. They're kind of like, I better be nice. And the other thing is they do tend to talk slower and they tend to keep the concepts two things. One simplistic and two in a realm in which they think you can relate to and understand. So it'll be like oh these cookies I'm eating these cookies I'm eating
7:36 bad for me for my tummy for my muscles right I shouldn't eat them. You agree? And I'm like well technically macro distributions don't matter as much as total calories and getting enough protein. They're like, "Cookies. I'm like, >> "Welcome to being Asian." >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> That is funny cuz you use a lot of big words, but you're also a big dude. >> Like >> big words for a big man. That's what they say next typically. >> And then we're in the bathroom on the ████ 6,000 ft up club, whatever, mile high club. We just ████ >> There you go. There you go. >> Yeah, baby. Cuz we out here. Just kidding. It is physically impossible for Jared and I to fit in with another human female into an airplane bathroom. I don't know how people join them. >> Actually, I can't poop. >> Would fly like economy comfortably or no? >> Comfortably? No. I I do have an unlock. Your boy's 51.
8:26 >> Yeah. >> And so I can fit lengthwise. >> Your knees don't hit the seat. >> Correct. Dude, I've never I've literally never experienced. >> But then you're like this way. 512. >> No, that just that just means it's a problem for the people sitting next to him, not for him. >> I hate that, dude. I hate the window. If I have to fly, >> I only fly aisle seats. >> Oh, okay. Okay, then >> that means the cart's still hitting you. >> Me every time. Every time. And I just I don't even get upset about it because it's real. I chose to do this to myself. ████ me. >> You piece of ████ >> Well, no, not really. Window, dude. Yolanda hits me with that card as hard as possible every time. She doesn't give a ████ >> You know why I think the Western stereotype exists about the whole like jock meatthead. Like if you're uh some sort of like physically phenomenal something, then uh you're probably also dumb. I think that exists because it's actually true in America because uh we prioritize entertainment so heavy here that an athlete if you're really really
9:17 good at basketball you'll get like a full ride to like Stanford but >> but that means you go to school and you get smart at Stanford right don't athletes that go to I tried >> right but don't they do that across almost every like higher level college across the nation like >> you're be like the ultimate me head like let's say look at Arnold Schwarzenegger right he's Mr. Olympia, then he's a movie star, then he becomes the governor, then I'm like, like it's so much stereotype shattering that I'm like, where did this? >> But even then, right, the criticism was always like, he's the governor because he was in a bunch of Terminator movies and so people like me are like, that's tied. I want him to be the governor and we vote for him. >> The governator specifically, >> I can I have I have something insightful here which is arguably not going to get me cancelled. >> Okay. You sure? Are you Are you sure? >> Sure enough to say it. >> Okay, good. Not sure. So, there's a very direct answer to this, guys. I'm just
10:08 off the record. >> Okay. So, here's the kind of direct answer that we can talk about in public. You take any single group of people, let's call them Asian-Americans. >> I like it. I like it. >> Okay. >> And you take all of the women that are more dark-kinned, and they go right to Jerry. >> Y. >> Now, who are we left with? The rest, right? >> Lightkinned. >> So, all right. And men of darker and lighter skin. three quarters, right? And so if you take all of those Asian-American folks, you can imagine that every human being has a certain combination of talents and abilities and let's say they're just distributed on average through the population. So the probability that you are naturally talented in the intellect is like it's not 100%, right? Let's say 50/50. Some
11:00 people are more talented, some people are less, right? The probability that you are talented physically, like you're really good at sports, let's say, has zero relation to your ability to be good at school. Zero relation. Which means it's also like 50/50. Top 50% bottom 50%, right? For you to be both talented at sports and intellectually talented is already 50 time 50, which is 25% chance. You're already in the minority. So when people typically examine athletes, they don't come off as exceptionally intellectual because the average athlete has no more chance of being intellectual than any regular person. And so you're talking to athletes and you're like, yeah, they're like whatever, meh. But you're like, athletes are smart. You're like, whoa, that's really like it stands out. It stands out just as much as nerds who are also good at like at sports. Imagine you went to a physics lab and
11:50 you were like just interviewing the people. You're like, whoa, what's this particle collider? What are you guys doing? And the one guy's like, "Yeah, man. Actually, my bench press is skyrocketing. It's like 500 lb raw bench. You're like, "What the f███?" That would be exactly as surprising as athletes that are smart. Smart people are athletes only. You could only have to assume that the traits are just unrelated, independently distributed. And the probability of having both is just low by design. Like it's like the probability of being incredibly incredibly short and being Asian is low cuz incredibly short people are really rare. And being super tall and being Asian also low. So when you see someone who's either super super short like 4 foot one or super super tall like well for an Asian 6 foot zero. I'm kidding. >> First of all, you had me all the way till the chances of being Asian and short or low. >> Super short. >> Really short. That >> talk about 3T. >> You lost me there. >> Talk about 3 feet. >> You're like I have two aunties that are
12:41 3T tall. Uh yeah, that was ████ because Asians are on average shorter, right? But in just any normally distributed sample of humans, being a combination of two traits that are both exceptional is like doubly more exceptional by definition. >> And so that's at least one of the ways in which you can get the jock stereotype. Here's another one. When you have a certain trait, you tend to like lean into it. So like if you weren't in instantly gifted at school, but you're gifted in sports, you might not put in as much work into school cuz your coach is like, "Yeah, good job, son. Just get your homework done. write some letters in there. You'd be good. See, it practiced. And that's how Jared raised me. God damn it. And I took second at states five years in a row. I was in high school for 5 years. Yes. Jared pulled me back one year so that I could win states. I disappointed him again and it was awful. >> But in any case, if you're really pointing into athletics, you're not
13:32 going to develop your schoolwork. Whereas, if you don't have athletic talent, but you even have a reasonable brain, like you might really put it into schoolwork, and people are like, "Oh, you're quite smart." So, I think that's at least some of the ways the stereotypes happen. other ways in which stereotypes happen. I'm absolutely forbidden from for >> Thank you for involving math and di diagrams and ████ like that and sucking all the ████ fun out of this prompt. And >> I blame the Incredible Hulk cuz everyone grew up watching that. He was smart as ████ and buff as ████ >> That's true. That's true. We're just trying to like generalize people and make fun of people and ████ >> Very smart anime. >> I know. I hate it. I hate it. >> You can't have two. >> I have a really small dick. >> Okay, clip it. Clip it. Clip it. Clip it. Clip it. Also, it doesn't really work well either.
