I'm mainly trying to get Colleen to answer. Yeah, I'm sorry. I I signed an NDA. Sign. She won't open up unless we open up at the same level. Okay. Okay. Are you dating anyone new? That's part of the NDA. send us the link to the EDO sign. Um, we've officially had the conversation where I told N I was like on JK we said this year I'm going to try to do my best to watch some trash TV with you. She's excited about it. Are we doing the Bachelor? What are we doing? We're doing Love on the Spectrum. It's not trash enough. That's wholesome. It's not

0:50 trash. We've seen some of that, too. It makes you feel good about yourself after. Whereas if you're watching real trash TV, you feel like and you're on them. Mhm. The whole time. You You can't love with the Spectrum people. It's not fun. I do. There's only one girl you can ████ on. Yeah. The glasses girl is the only one you can ████ on. Harry? Yeah. You talking about the train girl? No. Animation girl. The glasses girl. Animation girl. That girl. The one from Pasadena. Yeah. I think she keeps she keeps ████ with guys and then like breaking up with them. Yeah. I think she's just an ████ I don't think she has any. Honestly, Adon is a little ████ bro. Adon. Adon is a ████ I'm like, bro, she's ready to crush. Just go crush. I thought at for a second you were going to say we had a talk about this year. I'm going to I thought you were going to do the thing. You going to be like we got to get you pregnant this year. Yeah. I'm going to come. I'm going to start loading your box. That's what I thought too. Me too. I mean we're not trying but

1:40 I just don't want to talk about too much cuz we're just trying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No jinxies. Oh. Is that a conscious thing you guys actually like talk about? Yeah. I mean it's not a lot of talking. I'll tell you that. That's so cool. A lot of dancing. I want to have kids. It's like a lot of big lifestyle change, right? It's like that's why I've like cut down on drinking. I'm like, you want strong get your swimmers strong. Yeah. Yeah. Check the schedule. Taking your prenatalss. I am taking prenatal vitamins. Clomid. Um Yeah. He takes vitamins for women. Yeah. Yeah. I take vitamins. Pineapple juice. Good. Check that box. Good. Good. It comes in the pink bottle. Pepto-Bismol. Yep. Okay. So, you know, and it's a it's a journey, right? Like, you just kind of hear a bunch of people's stories from your friends where it's like, "Oh, dude,

2:31 tried one time, everything worked out." Then you hear other stories about your friends where it's like, "Tried for 5 years." Yeah. I I don't know where we where are we in this conversation. We're talking about pre- anal. Okay. Anal. Got you. I'm in. Like, what's your prenal routine? How do you set up? Yeah. What do you do? You do ████ out. Try to one time. Get like one of those, you know, those rolling pans for painting. I want kids, but I don't want to take care. I don't look that close. I don't want to take care. Did you say you tried it one time? No, I'm repeating what you said. Okay. I thought you were trying to tell the story. Hey, uh, Anthony. Yes. If we if we have kids at the same time, can I just leave them at your house and you can take care of them? Uh, they'll become Lee's though. They'll become Lee. I don't care. Really? You don't care? I do. I You know what? I would love Hey, you could you could hit

3:22 them. I hit them. That's easy. Yeah. I fantasize about the idea of like community the way that our families grew up, our parents grew up, right? It's like neighborhood. It's like everybody has kids, people got to go to work. So like people take turns, you know, just like it's like village tribe mentality. I'm not a woke ████ So if my kids misbehave, which they probably are, dude, like I'm going to tell you, I'm going apologize ahead of time. They're going to be ████ wild. You can beat the ████ out of them, kids. That's good to know. That's awesome. Maybe they should just come to my house. Are your kids going to be as wild as Bart's kids? Bart Tiger. T I don't think Ta's wild. That's the problem. You don't think Taika's wild? Actually, that's actually wild. That is a problem. That's wild. I think Ta's spoiled, but I don't think he's wild. You don't think he's both? That kid's crazy. I don't I feel like there's moments with Tiker where he's like wowing out, but then he's like

4:13 super chill. That's what I'm saying. He's not. This guy probably hung out with Tekk for like 80 minutes. No, we're with him for a whole weekend. Oh ████ I think comparatively to us as children, that is wild. That is wild. Really? Comparatively in a 1 hour period. The things that Tao does, I would have been beat four different times at least. Mopped. They would have mopped the floor with me if I had done one out of 10. But you know, different generation ████ Yeah. Bart's on that new age ████ Yeah. He's like trying to be a response. He's trying not to pass down the same trauma. Yeah, for real. And you can see him like acting you're like, "Oh ████ this actually kind of might work." But that's difficult to like tow the line of like I don't want to pass down what I got. But you know, Ta's locked in though. That as crazy as he is, he like when he's needs to focus and he actually like like Bart and Gio tell him to do some ████ He's like, "Okay." Well, he's super He's He's

5:03 a good boy, dude. He's a good boy. Got it. What about the I was around Wilder kids. I know way more pieces of ████ kids, dude. That's why. And you're probably around hella kids cuz they're ████ and you and you see in the parents like you know like if they're out to lunch the kids are out to lunch too. I'm comparing it to is the same as Anthony like we all know wilder kids but at what level were was your behavior considered wild to your parents cuz I did very little and was considered wild. Yeah. Yeah. So like when I see Tao I'm like damn I wish I could have done any of that ████ I don't know. I got my ass handed to, but um I I was allowed to do a lot of crazy ████ cuz I was neglected. So, I feel like my parents, they just wanted like a little adult, you know? Like they didn't want a kid. Mine, too. They didn't like by the time I was like, cuz my sisters were all like teenagers and ████ So, they were like, "Yo, you

5:54 need to ████ miss being in public at dinner." No. No. No. No. Never. Or talking to another adult. Never. Never. Like being snarky to an adult. ever. I don't even know. Oh, I couldn't talk to a dog. Backand popped in the mouth. I know. I have no recollection of doing that. But there's a photo of me at a Chinese restaurant dancing on top of the table and my mom ████ dying in tears. And so she said that there were Chinese restaurant. That's why she Yeah. You don't respect Chinese. She's like, "Go ahead. Japanese." I know, right? A mockery out of this place. Go ahead. At the Benihana Grill. You guys going to beat your kids? I really hope not. Honestly, I'm thinking we would. Yep. I don't think I would ever I'll beat mine. I'll beat yours, too. Yeah. Sick. I don't think I would beat my like as a serious thing. Like, I

6:44 don't predict that I would beat my kids. Well, you say that now. Watch when they piss you off. But it's because I don't I think most people that truly beat their kids also beat women. And I just had no experience with that. Nah, my dad was a ████ He never beat my mom, but he beat us like he's a ████ Oh, really? Hell yeah, dude. Damn. My uncle, too. That ████ Maybe there's still hope for me, dude. He beat the ████ out of everybody. No, but he don't remember, so it don't count. He never beat his wife. I just don't think kids respect their parents or or fear their parents. I agree. I think that's that's where it's at. Like nowadays or Yeah. Yeah. Nowadays. I don't think I would beat my kids cuz I think I'm just better at psychological torture. Yeah. Yeah. That'll be your way. You'd rather get beat. I'd rather get beat. I would rather get beat, too. Trust me, I want to get beat. Well, my parents were ████ good at psych torture, too. That's where you got it from. Yeah. You

7:35 think it's a soft generation raising a softer generation? That's the case for every generation. Yeah, I think so. But isn't it like I don't want to grow up with the same I don't want to give the same trauma to my children. So, you try to do better. Yeah. But then it swings too far the other way. Yep. Well, it's hard to judge because like we we're we're able to look at at least like firstgen Asian thing and it's so like easily observed. But how can we say that our parents ████ up and now we're going to do it right if that level of parenting got them all the way ████ here, which is way harder than we're Well, I'm going to stay in America. Like, I'm not doing anything that hard. And if it made you not want to repeat those things, I think they did a pretty okay job on you, actually. Yeah. Also, we would have to think that we're currently super ████ up now to really want to change our ways. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think they did a bad job. I just I think it's funny to think that like,

8:26 okay, now I'm going to do better. I don't think I'll do better than them. No, but that's like I do love to judge though. That's why I like garbage television. Hey, that's what got you like through how many like lines of generations from the third world country here. It's pretty whatever you guys did ████ dope. But maybe it also doesn't apply when you stay first world to first world. You have to evolve. That's kind of like all right. You know how when you take over a country, you have to be the warrior, right? But then you once you take it over you have to be the bureaucrat. But the dangers the dangers I think are more complex now. Like the dangers are very common sense their generation. Don't get killed. Don't ████ around in this way. But now it's like you could get molested by someone you met online. That ████ didn't exist before. I think a lot of molestation existed but people just didn't know that it was not

9:16 online though. Oh I mean like yeah in sleepover. You you could like stop somebody cuz they were there doing it but then like you don't know who your kids chatting with. You know they How do you know people weren't getting molested online? What do you mean? They were cyber sexacking me. That's for sure. How do you know 100 years ago people weren't getting molested online? You don't know question exactly. Just talking out of your house. The hieroglyphics could say differently. Yeah. They were sexing on on the on the ████ pyramids. Dude, Steve making a big deal about Ta being able to use ████ internet to search a 3D printer was so funny. Okay, let me ask Aries because he wasn't here. But like we got in Tika's head yesterday. So Ta like wanted a 3D printer, right? Which is a big thing for a 7-year-old to like ask for, right? And then Bart was like, "Ah, it's kind of expensive." And then so Taika searched on Amazon and found a 3D printer for like $2.99. $299. And he

10:06 showed it to Bart and Bart's like, "I'm so impressed that you were able to find that. I'll buy it for you." And we're like, "Any any seven." Cut to Colleen right now. Yep. And we were like, we're so ████ low. We were like, "That's it. That's That's $299. $299? Are you kidding? I wouldn't even dare to ask my parents at age seven. You don't understand. Like that is like It's so crazy to think that Tao was able to just search that. Incredible. And then sent it to me and I was just like I just let him have it for like 5 minutes. Like kids now are better at the internet than adults. That's insane. It would have been different during our day and age where we had to like maybe go to the library, do some research. read a few books. Make a call supplier or we get a magazine. He's seven. He's not four.

10:56 That's that, too. Say it again, Joe. But he's seven. He's not four. Exactly, dude. What the hell's going on out there? Like, I think maybe five is impressive still, but then after that, it's like, dude, I've been talking about for a long time. Parents, there's an epidemic where parents believe that their kids are like so ████ advanced. Yeah. Yeah. I can feel like a little scientist because they're just doing basic ████ that every ████ But something does happen though like once um in people's chemistry like their brain when they do have a kid like they doubt they're so locked in. I mean you have to or else humans will just neglect the ████ out of your friend's job is to ground you a little when you're when you're flying because I I can't even imagine a $299 value gift for something that's not a graduation or a birthday. That's insane. Just like off the cusp like I was like can you lie to him please? Can you say like cuz you did your chores afternoon? I was like can you lie to him and say that cuz you did

11:46 your chores for like 3 months straight something really big getting the printer. And guess what he said? I can't no I can't do that because he doesn't get anything for doing his chores. So I'm like he he doesn't get anything for doing his chores. He gets something for sending you a ████ link. That's crazy. As usual it just doesn't make any ████ sense. I would abuse that power so much. Oh yeah. I would send him hella links throughout the day. Oh let's do that. Let's talk. Let's give Ta links to send the bars. Yeah. Yeah. Things I Oh ████ that's funny. Yo, that's funny. Gold bars from Costco. That is an interesting thing that like there are a lot of parents today that are like really really impressed when their kids do something. But I feel like what we got was the back in my day. Oh, you did that? Like this is what I went through. One uping you. You're like, oh yeah, never going to one up again. And you never could do something impressive. My

12:38 buddy's daughter just climbed a kid gate. Like every single kid does it is like she's like climbing the gates. It's like crazy. She's figuring this out. And I'm like, "Oh my god." You know, you know what I think it's happening though? Um I think it's people that didn't grow up with that many kids around them. That's true. So like they don't understand the development. So it's shocking them only child. So that makes sense. And then now no one's having kids. So like there's no reference. So like they're not looking like if you're around a bunch and you see them at the same development level, you just like you kind of see it, right? Or they're just not an observant person generally, but they're observant of their own kid and so they're only paying attention to their own kid and they're going, "Wow, that's amazing." But they maybe have seen that a million times, but they never like thought about it cuz it's not their kid. In the basic law of diminishing returns, shouldn't you always appoint large rewards to large things you do? Because then like if you

13:28 or it's gonna lose a fact. $299 at seven years old and you That's crazy, dog. Maybe to his credit, maybe Bart's just in a new echelon of finance. Maybe he's just been killing. We're not talking about that. But that goes against the lessons of teaching the value of money. Guess what? For the dopamine injection. You know what? When I was growing up, I I was I had an accomplishment. My dad's watching TV. I had to wait till commercial break to talk to him. Okay. Sounds about right. Don't interrupt the show. And then I would tell him my accomplishment. He would stare at me, be like, "That's it." And then just go back to the TV. That's it. He'd rather watch a commercial. Yeah. He'd rather watch a commercial. He's like, "This this is what I paused this for." Could learn more. Yeah. So, isn't that isn't that like the pendulum going the other way of like Yes. of like now I got that so now

14:19 I'm going to shower him with so much like No doubt. Because dude, I' I've been seeing it like I have so many friends now that have like it's they're not infants anymore, right? So their kids are now like four and three and then whatever. And then like I can see the pattern of oh you're ████ doing ████ that you wish you had with your mom, but you're actually ruining your ████ child because you can't lay down the law. I also think too that the kids are associating they're they're getting like a little dopamine rush every time they get a new present. And then like when fast forward 10 years, they're adding their Amazon card every ████ week, spending their whole paychecks just to get that little the value of money is just completely distorted. But I mean like I don't give a ████ dude. I'm just looking at them like this is entertaining, man. And your kids are going to get so ████ up when they grow up and then you're just like whatever. I like we're indirectly talking about Bart

15:09 and Tao. These kids going to be ████ up when we go. No, I'm talking about other kids. I have hella other kids around me. I go as ████ dude. It's almost all I I would say 80 f██████% is like that. Yeah. Like super like I don't discipline. I ████ I'm just like that's ████ crazy, dude. That's just our generation. Yeah, it's wild. It's It's pretty wild that T has dessert time every day. Every day? What? What? He gets a popsicle a day. I wish I had that. That's insane. A day and he gets ice cream time. No, we would ask my dad for the ice cream and he'd be like, "No, but bring me one." I want a punch. So, you end up negative one ice cream. And so, like Lance and I, my brother and I, we would go to the freezer. We would get my dad the ice cream, but we would always wear like hoodies and we would

15:59 stuff one in our steal one and then we would give him the ice cream and he'd be watching a show. We'd run upstairs. Sick. Dad's favorite. They probably knew though. Character, you know. Yeah. is teaching me how to lie and steal. Yeah, how to steal how to sneak popsicles. I just can't imagine I I really just maybe is part most of it's jealousy of like the child that I didn't have. But then the idea that someone would give me something valued at $299 at age seven is unthinkable. My graduation presents weren't even that high value. That's like three Christmases put together. But also, it's like it's like broke people raising rich kids, right? So then like you're jealous of your own kids upbringing because you did good. Uh if you stayed broke then you'd still be able to give them the same life that you grew up in. I think my parents what I

16:49 found out fairly recently is that most of the time they faked being broke. Oh, that's smart. They faked like smart because like my I got to see my dad's like true finances for the first time ever and I was like how long have you been having this ████ And he's like, "What do you mean? Why would I not have money? What are you talking about? I used to want like so many like I want the Lego fire department." And he's like, "Do you see that amount in my wallet?" He's like, "I can't buy you that." So I hear the Filipino accent. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, "Wo, that's true. We just don't have that kind of money." But then like they just fake it so that you don't end up thinking that you should buy a $300 thing unless it's like not special. You want to do it though? Like how? Like it must have been hard for them to go, "Oh, I cannot do it." I think it was funny. I would have I would have ████

17:40 bought everything cuz But then everything loses value if you buy everything. My brother-in-law like comes home with toys for his kids like every single other day. And I think it's he does it for him, right? Cuz he likes it when they're like, "Dad, yay, you're the best." And all that ████ like cuz their house is so full of toys. It's starting to turn look like my house growing up. But it actually ████ the kids up because they they become heroin addicts later cuz nothing replaces that. You're like chasing the next like thing, you know. Heroin addicts in the future for sure. Same same. Maybe it doesn't turn out that way. Maybe it's like totally fine. Do a lot of kids want to play with 3D printers though. Is that like the new hot ████ that kids are playing with? Yeah, cuz the um I guess like the the teacher made a toy and he was like, "Wo." Would you would you consider that as like a educational like thing for I think so. I think that's where Bart was like, that's the cool spin is he's like, well then Ty can make toys and sell it

18:32 or like use it as a thing like that. That's why I was like, you should make him make his money back. Cuz I remember when I was a kid, I want a $300 ████ GameCube or ████ Xbox and ████ My parents would be like, nah. Or that ████ collects dust for the next. He uses it once and he's like, I'm Bart 100%. Cuz it takes a long time. Yeah. Sometimes it takes a while to make the 3D print. You're just watching it and you're like, this is like watching paint dry. Yeah. Or or unless it's like maybe akin to like buying something for the house. Like when your family bought a computer, it was like for everyone. Technically three. Super Nintendo is for everyone. Yeah. So he got it for him. I think so. Yeah. I think so. No. Well, at the end of the day, credit to Bart, he said, "I'm going to tell Taek no 3D printers." Cuz his uncle said no. Yeah, he did say that. Yeah. So So ████ blame us, right? Blame our ████ I hope when he's I hope when he's in his 30s he's in

19:22 therapy about the 3D printer and how he shows the therapist this video.
