0:00 what percentage are you Chinese probably 100 what's up what percent are you Chinese what person are you cheating you can ask that to every Asian well it sounds like that's the slogan for the commercial like what's in your wallet [Music] and welcome back everybody to another amazing soup chili in this office episode of the careful boys and today we have Colleen back in this yeah she's a morning gal it is a change it's you look very warm and comfortable I wish I had more layers that's all I got to say I knew it was gonna be cold she tripled up just get used to the cold so then when it is cold you're just it's normal yeah acclimate yourselves you know what ended up happening I loved

0:50 like the tropical heat and I was like oh yeah I can't wait to start living in Hawaii but then I cold train and then my body got used to like super cold so now when I'm there I'm just miserable you know what Joe I've been taking I've been taking your advice about cold showers because ████ every ████ on the Internet is like yeah dude everyone's into cold showers I do that ████ dude that I started doing it and you do feel a difference I do feel pretty good you guys listen to it yeah you feel cool no yeah dude you mean papa papa huberman then Mr huberman so you do called from beginning to end your shower nah I'll go real ████ hot for as long as I can I'm dreading I'm like yeah dude I want to do this ████ and then I turn on the cold and I set a timer and I do it for like a minute and a half or like two minutes and I feel like such a little ████ dude because wait do you do you go straight to cold or do you like ramp up no all the way all the way to cold and

1:40 then when it hits you you're like you feel like such a little ████ dude it's so weird you're not cheating though because you're going from hot to cold so your body is already warm so it's not that bad you should just go from straight cold okay okay now you're making me feel like more of a basement for everybody isn't the change even more powerful the fact that it was warm and then it goes see that's what my mindset was I've done both and personally I think the worst is when you wake up the first thing you do when you're half asleep you want to go back to bed and you're comfortable and then you hit that cold shower in your life why oh so you just jump in on cold yeah I gotta acclimate that's what I've been doing and the best part is once you get into the really cold water and especially nowadays the water's been getting really cold like just on the default once you get cold if you step out of the water for a second into regular air it feels

2:30 so warm it's because that's true it feels good it feels good okay but can when you do a Cold Shot doesn't that go straight to the bones for you yeah come on hey [Music] there's something about it I don't know you're a good dancer your sweet guy dude he's really good yeah you got owned in front he got you you know I I didn't say great he said good yeah exactly I tried at my old apartment to do cold showers but I realized that it was not really affected because I had those really really small shower heads so you know when you do a cold shower and a really small shower head it's hitting one spot yeah you're just like I'm really cold right here and then just kind of like trinkles out and you don't feel like you're doing it the right way yeah that's not nice body part by body part yeah you gotta blast it you just go top

3:20 of that I'm just still a ████ about that stuff though like it's so it sucks but if you do feel great would you do ice yeah I've got an ice bath ice bath is pretty tight I think I would rather do an ice bath or something like cry or something because I feel like you're really hitting if you're gonna do it you hit everything you know and you do it full versus like this like cold showers kind of like halfway you know what I mean like I've done things like cryotherapy and stuff and that stuff like is banana how does that feel cryotherapy is getting cold right now but I do like uh I think ice baths like suck more because I mean when you're doing cryo you it it I don't think it's as cold like it's technically colder but the water hitting your skin is just different bro yes yeah yeah what's what's the what's a better temperature in the shower for like crying in the shower

4:16 they just think you're laughing yeah dude you're just sitting in the corner with your clothes still on yeah oh that's OTR topic how when's the last time you guys cried in the shower no it's not a buy hack but something really cool that smack did recently is she bought this like uh it's like a pad that goes on on the bed oh the chili pad it's well it's heated oh yeah it's like an electric chili pad like food it's super game changing you mean like a like those warm blankets kind of but it's not a blanket it's more like a mattress it's like when you go to a massage parlor and they have the the heated bench they use a pad underneath right they're been a nice place I treat myself okay where do you get massages at bro yeah um there's a place in Sherman Oaks called I'm not going to

5:07 tell everybody they might be waiting for you there because your fans are going to disguise themselves come in come in that and also like we booked up and then I can't go yeah because JK news all the JK news fans are massage lovers that's why they're like oh I can't find them I can't wait because she tells a new spot and all of them are in Sherman Oaks a guy two guys with a trench coat is gonna be like oh hi Colleen we're ready for your massage not sure today you're not a normal guy her biggest admirer is getting a massage license so they can actually see her one day yeah touch her it starts working there let's talk about that bro you got fans you got fans people love Colleen people love Khalid of course they even talk

5:57 about Colleen when she's not here yeah yeah I remember there was a Kazumi video and I read a comment where they're like um please Don't Judge Me Khalid like I I'm like this is a Kazumi video they look alike though I get it yeah uh 21.7 yeah I haven't been here in a while so you know too many people are turning in a 23andme's screwing up the skew that's true that does happen though that does happen damn you lost your Chinese bars huh yeah I did I did oh really when I did the first time I did it I was a 99 Chinese what was the rest and then it was like 0.4 Japanese days or something point four percent Japanese I like the way you say Japanese Japanese so you got a little bit of colonial

6:48 S four to like seven months later now I'm 50 Taiwanese or some ████ congratulations [Laughter] at this point changes too frequently you don't even know who you are exactly so that's why you're only 27 was it 27 Chinese yeah it's 21.7 okay that's cool that's good that's good 21 I check it every morning in my cold shower yeah I can't do nothing that would be so messed up if they did turn in your results and it's like you're you're 10 Hong Kong 20 Taiwan AKA pretty much Chinese like this Emoji so offensive what percentage are you Chinese probably 100 what's up what percent are

7:40 you Chinese you could ask that to every Asian well it sounds like that's the slogan for the commercial like what's in your wallet I'm pretty sure if I took the test it would be probably like 99.9 Vietnamese but what if they couldn't see you yeah yeah but what if they couldn't see me what are they no they're just doing it off site it's like how much Chinese how Chinese are you find the Chinese guy damn which one of these guys are Chinese and you have taika going like this yeah he's the Judgment I know so the lion what's weird to me is like how do they know which based on country I think so

8:31 it's like a region but when you do it 23andMe right they'll be like Vietnamese Chinese or whatever but like borders don't determine your genetic like you're just because you're one border across is my job do you borderline borders don't exist my trump so if you were like Cambodian or something right like just because you live like right in that border Zone and then once you cross it you're now Vietnamese like I don't know are you telling us that we wasted our money is that what you're telling me to do I think so that's a good point because if you think about history those lines change so much over time yeah so how do they know I don't know but they could they when were you China yeah when were you Chinese I feel like the only value 23andMe has is to catch if you like committed crimes in the past that's it's

9:22 pretty much just to get you in the data yeah they're getting ready for the future if you'll have crimes committed against you in the future that's true that's true okay I didn't they catch you or they're just selling your data it's like the AI joke can't don't don't make it all real dude what the ████ they're selling our Medical Data they are but they are they know I have dry earwax now ████ yeah they do tell you some ████ up ████ like that yeah like they'll tell you like oh like you're more likely to get bitten by mosquitoes like okay thank you for telling me that like what if that's the new like identity theft thing is like the final screening thing is like how much percentage Chinese are you instead of like what street did you grow up on only you know it's gonna be difficult because it changes so frequently so the answer is gonna change so you never know the answer so you'll never get into the into the system we

10:12 have to question ever yeah you think 50 years from now everyone's gonna be like Indian or Chinese I think I think a little bit like how much Chinese are you or how much Indian well according to you know you're you're you're updated records of interracial marriages per region oh that's true you're the database for that it's it's mostly black and Chinese right now but you know what's what's strange is as many Indian people are in the world I don't see a lot of mixed like I don't see a lot of Indian something else because we're not in the UK or Canada oh does that happen mostly in the UK I think they not in our teacher they're more they're more I got a I got a lot of cousins that have married Indian people because they're like smart tech people see Chinese and Indians oh my goodness if they all get married oh yeah they're like play pressure to find another Indian person the same way that like you know so yeah other Asians are I've seen a lot

11:04 of mixed relationships in the UK because I think they just been there so so so long so there's like a lot of do you guys know when he mixed Indian and like Asian people do you guys like right now yeah well I just said like a bunch of my cousins are marrying like but new couples right but like older couples there's a couple of kids what they look like whatever that border is between China and India they look like that Mike's uh sister is married to a Nepalese dude and their kids they're they're super cute but ████ when they were young I remember I remember being when they were like young young and small it was just like they look like really really cute Asians but have big eyes so it made it like even more cute

11:55 you know what I mean so that was like one of those things that I was like us Asians we love big eyes yo yes because we got yeah double eyelids over here like yeah she got double eyelids you got double eyelids too giant eyeballs looking like Ryan's got big eyes I got like triple eyelids bro he does he has them on the bottom and the top he has quads the options of how to Blink that's true sometimes like he's got a four by four Ryan's face looks like it'd be super fun to make like a memoji oh yeah oh yeah yes and the hair and beard would change every ████ week that's why people think he's Mexican Mexicans think I'm Mexican yeah for sure nice for sure that's why Filipinos pass as Polynesians too but then old Mexicans think I'm Chinese oh which is cool I feel like I feel like that's why Filipinos got so much different like fashion styles that they could blend into is because they can also morph what

12:46 they are to them he's got a shirt that said made in Japan right now dude they could be Japanese they could be oh they could be everything Japanese dude there's Filipinos in Japan like right now that are just imposters Dad you I thought they were locals and I go oh hold up you're not even Japanese one of my buddies he's uh he works with me his name is Marlin you know Marlin and every time I have a new client in the gym and he comes in I always play a game where I go hey this guy right here guess what race he is because he's so he's Filipino Marlon's Filipino he's Philip exactly exactly he's Filipino 100 but people don't think he's Filipino yeah 100 100 what do people think he is oh I don't know he's gotten Persian Egyptian Armenian Mexican like all kinds they think he's half black they can't put their finger on it so he's like

13:37 racially ambiguous because Filipinos can either look like a European guy or a Chinese man they can be pretty people say he's like some people say he's Dominican he's not mixed with Spanish or anything or you know Filipino yeah every Filipino we look back far enough Ken's asking if one of his ancestors why is a winery even recently Winery I was talking to my mom and we were looking at old photos and then my mom my aunt showed me like my great great grandfather somebody was like full Spanish like 100 full beard too huh yeah straight up how many Phil how many Filipino dudes do you know with a full beard like you yeah you got Spaniard beer dude yeah bro not that many you're looking like you were on the Santa and

14:27 the Pinta Maria that's like that's the mashup that's the clap I was on the Kunta mckente the Mina perinta but I think the the beard throws it off I think like people think you're racing ambiguous because you don't see a lot of Filipino dudes with the full you should see my like my Island cousins that are from polilio which is like a tiny like Island that's where like my mom's side's from they're all like they look like black guys like 100 they have like afros wow yeah like curly naturally I've naturally curly hair too but it's straightened out as I grew up my baby pictures I've straight up afro I was born with an afro and sideburns you gotta show some of those ████ pictures I want to see a little Ryan with the Frog if you had a frozen sideboard sideburns when you're born yeah when I was born when I was born

15:17 like I had curly hair do your parents think to themselves like whoa yeah yeah Dad was like what the ████ is going on and it's on your mom's side right my mom said yeah which is weird because my mom's side is they're uh they're mostly the women are all light-skinned and then the guys are hella dark so I don't know how that happened so interesting are they working in the fields a little well they are yeah they're all Boat Boat like dudes they're working so while they're working they were ████ some other guy and then they popped out a baby and that became the tradition the guy the guy [Laughter] in a small island it's really hard to find some other guy he got that one light-skinned guy that's just like chilling in the house Fanning himself all day and he goes it's it's too hot today want to work and they're like well he's the only dude I remember in the first time I was in the Philippines in in 89 I

16:08 was five years old and I asked my mom if if like I was like is he black she's like that's your cousin I'm just asking why is that bad she's like no he's just dark because but you're just curious because you're just like oh he just likes hip-hop that'd be funny if she actually said that you're like what's hip-hop and that's how it started yeah that's how it started birth of hip-hop Philippines this weekend is New Year's Eve Chinese New Year why are you looking at me because because you're Chinese celebrate we're supposed to celebrate Chinese dude I was gonna go around but I'll celebrate Chinese New Year yeah with your family what do you guys what do you guys do uh basically extended I got a lot of

16:59 aunties and uncles and cousins out here uh in Southern California so we always go up to like you know somebody's house in like West Covina the 66 or Temple City or whatever right and then uh we just eat a ████ ton of food and then there's red envelopes based off of your Asian generation right so it's if there is something that's uh new now that is like a very very new thing which is like because my sister has like three kids and there's just like new kids that are coming in like one of my other cousins has a kid now uh as older cousins we have to start giving those red envelopes I'm just gonna ask you that you were just the the children's generation no matter how old we got because nobody was having kids or anything like that so aunties and uncles would always have to give it in aged order you know what I mean oldest youngest are are Lisa right yes but then now that we got these little babies coming even though they're ████ like know her names they're like don't you still have to do it uh which

17:49 means that you know obviously since we're not used to I'm always showing up like Mom did you bring any extra envelopes I get some cash I like I forgot does it matter if you're married or not because that's what my mom told me like if you're married you give right yeah you're supposed to give if you're married I guess who's married uh-oh now you have the duties of uh yeah it doesn't matter like if it's older or younger how much you give them uh I think um there was definitely a point where because you know when you're a kid you ████ you're just checking all the time right and like the average for my family again I don't know what an answer is for anybody else so the average for my family is always like 20 bucks 20 bucks yeah you know and every now and then you get like a 10 from like something you'd be like you ████ cheap ass and then sometimes uh you know

18:40 times are hard 50 bucks or like 100 bucks and it's like maybe that answer uncle has like a specific relationship with you or they understand something about you you know what I mean the only kid that got the ten dollars in the group of twenties it's like what the ████ damn what you guys all get you know what's cool though is that um when you go like I I'm not even related to like my ex's like relatives and but then we would make our rounds and they would give me money let's try it as a gesture yeah but like Japanese people are ████ cheap bro we don't do that yeah oh we only do that to our family do you guys do the lunar is it called Lunar New Year is that the people so they they do the same they do the same yes stuff but then they they swap the date because when they they when they when they got industrialized and then they learned like the Gregorian calendar from the Europeans and ████ they're like man why are we gonna celebrate two ████ New
