0:05 Okay, obviously we would all rather live in America than China. Is that correct? Yeah. >> Is that fair to say? I don't know, dude. China looks pretty sweet. My I just talked to my dad. He loves it over there right now. >> If I was a Chinese millionaire, I would I would [snorts] be in China. Okay, if you were Chinese millionaire. All right. Yeah, but >> American China? No, I think I would like America. But like, you know, for the sake of the conversation >> is your dad staying in China? >> He's in >> Ding Dong Ming? Ding Dong Ming, yeah. That's it, dude. You talked to my dad? What's going on, man? >> Before you share any info on it, the the question I want to ask you guys is like I mean, obviously we want to live here, but in what ways does China actually beat America as a place to live? If I were to be like sociopathic and psychopathic and like a robot, >> Yeah. I think it's a way better place to live. >> Really? In what way? What do you mean?
0:55 American And it's I have my own American cultures and values that I like. Okay. >> So, if you think about like ease of living, um, like public transportation, >> Okay. like if everything's taken care of, like social >> future, dude. >> Yeah, like all that stuff. So, if you think about like where would you want to put like this this marble [snorts] into this maze, that maze is like smooth, you know? It's like pinball machine. It's perfect. America, there's like way more bigger jumps and then it's crazy, but it's not it's not guaranteed to get to the end. But because I'm born in America, I like that kind of freedom. I like that we can have whatever we car we want. You don't have to pay a 100% ████ luxury tax for a car. You could have guns, you can start a business. Like I'm used to that. But I think objectively speaking, that's probably
1:45 way easier and safer where the You don't even have to worry about personal safety. >> Right. You have guns here cuz it's like, "Oh, you're your first ████ safety officer." Whatever, right? But over there it's like, "Well, you don't even need that. >> [laughter] >> For sure. >> That's true. When I'm in Asia, I don't I don't feel like I got to look over my shoulder. But in America, it's just the it's just normal. >> It's part of the fun. Yeah. It's part of the fun. Yeah. Would you feel like um you know like how you enjoy your guns here, right? Would would you trade all your guns and the and your gun rights for a place that was peaceful enough that it feel felt like you didn't need them? Here's the thing. I also don't trust Chinese ass. That's what I'm saying. If it was Japan, probably. Yeah. I'm like these guys are safe and I could trust them. But Chinese are scumbags, too. I don't know what they're going to pull on me. >> [laughter] >> Cuz they still do kidnap and play like
2:36 >> Yeah, ████ still happens, yeah. She was a a assistant to like a CEO out there of like a Best Buy kind of situation and she told me like their family, all the kids have their own bodyguards. They roll out in multiple cars where you don't know which one's the car that they're in. Yeah. And it's like because they they still do that ████ >> Yeah, they kidnap and all that. I mean, you do that here, too, but like it just feels different. Like I feel like here you can be a millionaire and like you could exist amongst the people. That is true, yeah. And over there you might be targeted for a lot of different things. >> special. You stand out too far. What what were you going to say about like why China's the better place to live? >> Well, well, my my dad's there right now and he was talking to me and he was just saying Did he sell you on it? >> hired people. That makes sense.
3:26 >> of what bar was that? >> That's like what he said about Taiwan. Like like that marble path is a lot smoother. It's like everything's a little easier. It's cool and chill. Yeah, if you're going to like if you towards your later end of life, he was like this is a great place to be. What does he do in China? He's just I don't know, actually. Like what's his day-to-day? Did he describe his day-to-day on why he enjoys it? >> Don't ask me that and I go, "Okay, all right. My bad. My bad. There was the line, I crossed it. My bad." >> [laughter] >> I feel like Asia in is such a better place for old folks to remain like not dwindling away cuz um everything's built for walking. Mind to be active and Yeah, and then you see it the parks like there's hella old people doing calisthenics and like hanging out every day. >> getting jump kicked either. Yeah, whereas in the states it's almost like after you stop working, if you don't have a family that takes care of you,
4:16 you just kind of weather away. That's true, yeah. Like you stay home all day, you don't go out, there's no real community if you're not a part of a church or anything. I wonder what what do you think he does every day? Like what do you think he can do around that area that he's in? Play chess? I think he just goes to the park and walks around and stuff. Yeah, like just kind of typical Asian guy stuff. >> Yeah. Um He doesn't do the muscle ups with the with the with the grandpas? Hobbies or no? Yeah, I think he has hobbies. Like what? Sound effects. Yeah, he's doing foley in the wild. He's recording and he's like all those birds are great. >> [laughter] >> You know what? I don't know actually. I don't know what the ████ he does. Did he sell you on anything else about China? He wasn't trying to sell me. He just was telling me that He was telling you why he likes it. >> For for exactly. Like kind of to ease our minds cuz you know he's like
5:06 He's having some health issues and he he can get better care out there than he can out here for like the the money that he has, you know? >> Any comparisons with Kentucky? Uh well, like Kentucky's just a whole different. Yeah, like he's coming from Kentucky to China so he's just like, dude, this is sick. Like China's great. He was telling me that he might he might need a wheelchair soon. It's funny because he ended up in a place probably the only other place where there's more KFCs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> [laughter] >> But and but he was telling me that like now they have like bionic legs for people that need that can't really be walk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, so I'm like, damn, we don't got no bionic legs out here, dude. Dude, that's crazy. So for I think the stage of life that he's in and the things that he's looking for, it's just like a perfect place for him. And his dollar goes a lot further there, yeah?
5:56 I think it's probably better being a millionaire in the States, but middle class in China. So, like I wouldn't I don't really want to be middle class in the States, but I would I think my quality of life would be better middle class in China. >> Middle class in China probably is high class in the Yeah. >> [laughter] >> Like in terms of your comfortability in life? >> get to live in a nice like apartment, and you already have access to so many different like efficiency things. Like the city's built to be pretty easily to navigate to. You don't have to ████ be in traffic all day, you know? You don't need as nice of a place to live in order to feel safe. >> Yeah. Cuz in America, that's the thing, right? Is you're sacrificing affordability with safety. The The more cheaper something is, it's typically cuz
6:46 it's more cracked out and dangerous. Whereas like in Asia, it just means it's run-down. >> more rural. Yeah. It's It's cheaper cuz it's like older and the building's not new. But you don't have to be in a unsafe place. Yeah. Whereas here, it's like, "Oh, you rather pay a little bit more to be in a safe neighborhood." That's true. Do you have any other reasons why China's better? >> [snorts] >> Um He likes Mao a lot. Yeah, besides Mao. He's like, "They have better parades." And I think like um Military [laughter] parades. And honestly, sometimes like it's just better when someone tells you what to do. >> [laughter] >> I guess it depends on where you are. So, if you're over there and you're going to live that lifestyle of like it's censor Hey, no one We're just not going to talk about ████ hats anymore. All right, ████ it. >> [laughter] >> ████ it. I haven't had anything to say about hats anyway. Like it's just It's
7:36 just like what But over here they're like, "Nah, I have my right to talk about hats whenever I want." You're like, "Shut up, dude." >> You know, but I'm just used to that. So, over there, it's like, oh, okay, ████ it. Like, you you could just if they just tell you what the path is, you just live the and it's probably easier. And you could focus more on the like interpersonal stuff. Which is supposed to be more valuable anyways, you know? Yeah. Do you Do you guys know anything about the social credit score out there? >> [laughter] >> That ████ sounds scary. Cuz I'm cur- I'm curious as to know like, do you think we would have good credit social scores, dude? >> Me, no. I don't even I want to know what it's based off of. I don't even pay registration on time, dude. That's sick. That's true. Cuz there's so much record of us criticizing China on this freaking show. I'm sure that plays into it. But I thought it was built on people who interacted with you. Like, you're like a Yelp page. And then it's like your landlord is like reporting on like, this ████ never pays on time. Or
8:27 like, it's like people you you've interacted and did transactions with. That's what I thought it it worked like. I thought the government had some hand in like telling people not to trust you no more cuz you be ████ talking ████ That's what I thought, too. I'm just curious to know what the criteria is. >> Say you did a dine and dash, or like you you did >> social credit? >> Yeah. God damn. That's dope. >> committed a crime or whatever, you're like, yeah. But no one follows it. So, it's like if you commit 17 crimes, you could commit like five more. Or until you kill somebody and then you get arrested. That's just our version of it. I know, [snorts] man. >> though, like it's almost like a completely different operating system from the US. But they somehow make it work. And the people there are like, who cares about like free speech? Like, I don't even
9:18 want to criticize the government. I have no issues with it. >> Yeah, like or like they'll like if I actually want something to say, I'll just talk ████ at home. Like, you know the concept of like, I need to go in front of the city hall and go protest. There's like, what's the point? I'll I'll just ████ smoke cigars with my the and we'll just talk ████ in the living room. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess if that's as far as it's going to go, then yeah. What about for education though? Like one thing I >> Oh, they probably smoke us. >> I know, that's one thing I was thinking about. I'm like, one draw would be like that if you raised your kid under that education system, maybe they won't know everything about the world, but a lot of that ████ don't really come to much use at that age. So, maybe they'll just end up with a higher IQ generally for science, math be way more stressed out over there. I don't know if I don't know if their system is like the system that
10:08 I understand in Taiwan, but I know a lot of the Asian systems are the same, and if they're like super academic focused. >> Stress leads to perfection. Perfection. I actually don't know if it's the best system because um at least from what I know of it, the Asians Asian system is just memorization. So, they don't flex It might be different now, you know, like they might be catching up to to how uh >> [snorts] >> flexing imagination and creativity is actually way better. Right. They might, you know, be adjusting it, but for the longest time it's like a lot of just memorization and like parrotting things and repeating what the teacher says. So, they don't develop critical thought. And so, if you want your kid to be independent and a leader one day or like create their own thing, I don't, you know, they're training them to be a good worker bee. Yeah. So,
11:00 That's true. but maybe for basic skills cuz I do think the Asian system for STEM is probably really good uh like yeah, like but it just builds a good foundation for children. Yeah. >> Like how like how many videos have you seen a Chinese kid ████ work a walk like a professional? And he's like 4 years old going Even their sport their youth athletes >> Yeah. crazy good. They're so like they train them so regimented. >> It's also interesting to point out that like their dance uh criteria. So, like in China That's wushu. B-boys are ████ insane. And for the most part, at earlier age, they're already smoking American. Really? Because they're uh the programs they have for dance are school credited. So Wow. dance studios, they it it's affecting their grade. So, it's not like they have
11:50 to sacrifice something in order to chase this passion. The same way that you would be a cellist, these things are they're actually part of your education program. Are Chinese B-boys on the up and up? They're freaking insane, dude. >> Really? Yeah. Cuz right right right now is the best one a Korean guy or not? Not anymore. Oh, wow. I think the best one's Japan right now. Oh. In terms of who's winning, Yeah. Japan. Creativity, I still would give it to freaking uh the maybe like the Netherlands, France uh America is kind of not really been winning too much ████ And they're not And they're not really pioneering too much new stuff compared to the rest of the world because they foster it because they nurture it. Here, you have to do it under defiance. You have to either sacrifice something, you have to not go to work. Like you're not going to make money doing it. There, you can start at an early age and it's not a waste of time. It's like, "Oh,
12:40 it's part of your curriculum." They're starting to sponsor them like athletes now. Well, it's like students. It's just students. Yeah. Like uh if you go to dance class after school, that's still school. Yeah, that's still technically school. But because of that also, the people that run studios are ████ rich. Because it's now a part of the whole thing. Instead of like you having to You're basically like like if I had a dance studio, same with Anthony, same with anybody, you're basically coaxing kids to be distracted and come dance. Cuz it doesn't match with anything else they do. So, you know, like China does have a better system as far as like excellence in different crafts. I don't know if it works that way for everything. But are there any actual advantages to living in a population that dense? Competition. Cuz I do think LA is considered a dense city. Yeah. It's one of the richest and
13:32 and densest, right? But like what I realize is going to Hawaii, going to even Vegas or whatever the amount of people you have to compete against makes you sharper cuz of the volume and everything Yeah. of like if you if you only have like five other people to compete against, you're not going to get much variation. >> That's true. But I think in a big city with hella people I think you could really sharpen your skills. Oh, okay. Cuz that's one thing that I always felt like worked against it was the fact that like anytime I was there, I felt like a little ant. You know? Like cuz there's so many people that the significance of yourself goes way down. You're just like, "Damn, I'm nothing." >> You shrink a little bit. >> Yeah, cuz it's so like dense up. >> Also, the ones that make it there so excellent. You know, like That's true. team Yeah. It's like, "Oh, this guy fell. Oh, my back hurt. Get out."
14:24 Whose back doesn't hurt? And then it just ends up You just got to kill it and beat everyone to get to the top. Yeah, that is true. But the Cuz everyone's disposable. Yeah, everyone's everyone's so disposable. >> Yeah, like if you won't do it, you can't do it, bring another guy in. Damn. Would you ever any >> you cuz then you don't think you're so dang special cuz there's millions of people in your city. Could any of you guys ever actually move to China for Hell no, I ain't Chinese. I don't think I'd survive out there, dude. I don't think so. They could smell it right off me. I think I like my American lifestyle too much. It'd be even harder for me to move to Taiwan and I know that place. >> Would you rather move to East LA or Beijing? Dude, try to ████ me up? East East LA or Beijing? ████ that's a tough one, dude. I'm going East LA. Cuz I'm still in America.
15:14 >> Yeah, maybe East LA. Damn, bro. What the East LA? Got to find a good pocket somewhere. >> [laughter]
