0:00 I thought all my white trash friends were hella rich because they always had car parts all over their backyard. And I'm like, you guys have so many like >> I thought it was tight, >> partial cars and full cars and then they had the coolest garages with like hot babes and bikinis inside like posters and I'm like I wish my dad was like that. >> Welcome back to Careful Boys. We have with us Mr. Jared Feather. Woohoo. Woo. >> Now, this might be a very personal question, but does anybody have any relatives that your family has cut off? >> Nope. >> Yes. >> Leo. >> Yes. >> You said no. >> That's a funny in joke. There's no way you don't. >> You do. Why is that fortunately?

0:51 >> Fortunately, >> oh, >> you're ask You're asking me like I >> Why is it a Why is it a good fortune? Yeah, >> good fortune. >> Yeah. What is this going? >> You know when you when you have when you have family members, right, and you just like are like, why are we still family with this? ████ >> Oh, they were like bad for the what were they doing so wrong? >> Well, for one, it was my dad. >> Oh, that was a good one. But he left. But then it's all also a lot of the family members just stopped talking to him. >> Oh, >> which makes sense. >> So, he didn't just leave. He was like >> he abandoned the family and they're like, "You know what? We're not going to talk to you." >> Yeah. Then they tried to keep like friends with him and whatever, but he was the one that's like, "I want to talk to you." >> Whoa. >> Yeah. >> Damn. >> And then um another one. >> So before your pops left, the whole family and uh the next level of family, they all already didn't like him that

1:41 much. >> They were actually trying to reach out and bring the family back together. >> Oh. >> But then the way he reacted, they were like, "Well, ████ you then." >> How did he react? >> Like I don't want anything to do with you. Damn. >> That's also why I thought he didn't want to talk to me. Then like 10 plus years later, I talked to him and he goes, "No, like I actually wanted a relationship with you. I didn't want to talk to them." >> Sounds like he tried real hard to have a relationship. >> Yeah. >> Tried his ass off. >> He was working so hard for it, dude. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was really working overtime. >> To his defense, when he did try to call me, I said, "If you come over here, I'm going to ████ you up with my friends. >> ████ you. I don't want to talk to you." So, he respected that. >> Fair. >> Okay. Well, he didn't know you he didn't know you were playing hard to get. >> I know, right? >> How old were you when he said that? >> I wanted you to come over. >> I was maybe 14.

2:32 >> Been there. >> Like a year later. >> 14 or 15. Yeah. >> Dang. >> Cuz I think at that age you have teenage rage >> and you think you're a man cuz you're in a gang and you're just like, I have friends with guns, you know? So you're like, you come back here and test me, man. And then in my mind, I'm thinking it's such a manly thing to do is jump him with my friends as a threat instead of me fighting his ass cuz I'm still probably too scrawny to fight his ass, right? >> But I'm like threatening him. Yeah, you see what the ████ happened. But he didn't even remember. >> All he wanted to do is visit you, >> dude. He doesn't even remember that I threatened him. >> He's so delusional. >> Wow. >> Maybe he didn't see it as a threat cuz you're such a wimp. >> I know. He's like, "Ah, b████." >> Joe played makeelie. >> Yeah. So then once again, I guess he didn't try very hard. >> Nope. >> Yeah. >> A son plays hard to get. You got to go,

3:22 "No, wait." Right. Yeah. You got to do that. >> Yeah. >> Plays hard to get. You said uh you had some people in your family that were like that. >> Yeah. My dad and his oldest brother, >> they didn't get along. So, originally when I first uh went to go live with my dad, um he introduced me cuz my dad's family is like huge. It's spread apart. There's uh seven kids. So they're all in different phases of like immigration. There's my dad and his closest brother, they've been in America for like over 20 years. Then they slowly bring one over like through that whole sponsorship program. So when I was in high school, he sponsored my or his oldest brother to come and there's probably a maybe like 30-year difference cuz there's like seven siblings. >> 30 years. >> There's a 30-year difference between him and his and his oldest brother. >> Damn. He comes in and I think he kind of

4:13 like gives him like the the lay of the land like don't sign up for this, don't sign up for this, whatever. Like this is what this program does or whatever or if you are going to do this then sign up for for it this way. And then I guess they had some sort of sort of agreement but for me everything I hear is just from like like hearsay, right? I don't know what they really talked about. >> And I remember one day coming home and I just hear my dad and his brother like yelling at each other Cantonese like that. Yeah, like that. It sounds just like that. And they're going crazy. And I'm like, "What the ████ What's going on?" And apparently some sort of either social security program or whatever program or medical program, I don't know what it is. He put my dad's name down, I think, as a sponsor or as a co-signer or something. And it was going to be where now my dad's liable if

5:03 anything happens. Oh, right. >> So, if something goes haywire, my dad would be on the hook for like 200 or 250K or some ████ like that. >> And um pretty much from that point on, he kicked them out of the house. So, we were all living together in the same house, he kicked them out of the house. And from that point all the way until my grandpa passed away, they never talked. And even after he passed away, um and even until my dad passed away, they no like no one talked. So after he kicked them out during any family event, they would just be standing on opposite sides of stuff. Like even at my grandpa's funeral, they're on opposite sides. And I'm like, damn, that's crazy. Something that big, they couldn't work out. >> Yeah. Over 250 grand. >> Yeah. Over 250, right? >> Co-signing for your family members. Wild ████ >> That's like two uh >> I'm riding with your dad on this one. That's crazy. >> But it wasn't like It was 250 in possible liability damages. It wasn't

5:55 like 250 straight up, right? Um, yeah, that part I don't know. >> But I think the way my dad viewed it was like if I brought you I brought you here to help you. I'm also trying to set up my own like treasure chest for my >> family. How dare you jeopardize what I did after I did what you what what to help you. That's how >> Yeah, >> that's how how he viewed it. And and then I think from him he might the oldest brother might have been like, "Well, you're my brother. You're supposed to take care of me." I don't know if he had or didn't have cancer or something. I don't know. It's just it gets muddy, you know. And then you have like sibling childhood >> like >> whatever the dynamic was. Yeah. >> I'm not keen to >> like my dad said what my dad said. >> Yeah. >> I'm going to ████ >> Oh yeah. >> So I'm just like ████ that's crazy. >> Remember when you didn't share the fireworks and Chinese New Year and it's

6:46 like they're bringing up old ████ Yeah. We cut the moon cake. You had the bigger piece. >> Yeah. >> You're selfish. >> That's the problem. Nobody forgives each other. They just hold on to it. Yeah. You have anything like that? >> I have like personal people that I've cut off my family. You see the way trash culture works, right? >> They stay together no matter what. >> We latch on to the problem and we think we can change the issue, but really we're just running from other ████ So, anytime there's a ████ family member who's crazy addicted to every drug in the world, you're always trying to find a place for them to stay. You're always like, "Oh, you know, one day they'll get better, this and that." So, you never cut anybody off. you just go down on the ████ ship with them. >> But so that's why I say personally like I've had to do that. But my family would never cut somebody off. I don't think. >> Wow. No matter what's happening. >> I really don't think so. >> Cuz family is supposed to stick together

7:36 no matter no matter what. >> Like the way I look at it is like you have relatives and you have family and blood doesn't really decide who that is. And it's just like h you know I've done some stupid ████ for my relatives like my sister drug addict and all that stuff. Bailed out of jail multiple times. Like I think the night I might have said the story already, but the night before my master's degree finals, I drove home 4 hours cuz my mom was crying. She would always have these seizures when she gets too stressed because she had brain tumor and stuff >> and I just didn't want her to die. So I drove 4 hours home, bailed my sister out of jail after collecting like five grand to get her out. Um, luckily I was like gambling at the time >> and uh I had like cash laying around. >> Sweet. and uh bailed her out, took her to my mom's house, drove four hours back, no sleep, took my test on no sleep and just like, you know, I passed obviously, but >> nice. >> Still was crazy stress like and I've done that like four or five times.

8:26 >> And I bought her a house. Um I almost got into a lawsuit because of that cuz she's an idiot and like all kinds of ████ my sister. Yeah. Like the the doctor or her medical whatever who the ████ you talk to, they wanted her to sue me cuz she put her hand through a glass door that was on the property that I purchased for her to stay in for a while so she could get on her two feet and it cut her and I didn't have insurance on the property just yet. So that process was still in motion and they said, "Well, it wasn't insurance. We should get your money your brother for money." Crazy ████ Like >> what the hell? >> I know, man. Like crazy. >> What the recommends a person to sue their sibling? Well, she knows she's a ████ drug addict, so I'm sure she thought about it, but it didn't happen thankfully. >> But, you know, we have 10 family members like that. And like similar story with like the dad and everything. Uh, I met him when I was 14. Uh, we did like the cotton swap test. It

9:17 was I just wanted to know who my dad was, find him, whatever. I was a result of like a double affair. I'm sure they were ████ to like Linder Skinner in the back of a truck in the parking lot. That's my idea of my conception. And uh, so I just wanted to know who he was. I knew his name. He had seven kids. My mom had seven kids. >> Wow. >> He came down with all of his kids when I was 14. Uh we were off playing and I found out later on that he basically was threatening my mom to take me away from unsuitable living conditions. So I cut him off. You know, I didn't know the ████ guy. You're not my family. I cut him off immediately. Uh but that's just a personal thing that I did. So family wise, ████ no. White trash people don't do that ████ I don't think. Maybe there's some stories of people doing that, but my family sure the ████ has it. And anytime there's a problem, it becomes everybody's ████ problem. And that is some ████ >> That's pretty true for me, too. Uh, as a white trash uh person as well. >> There's two white trash people that are

10:07 >> finally usually it's one guy in here. So, for me, it was my aunt Lori is a s███-talking ass ████ >> ████ you. >> Yeah. And I basically caught >> Oh, she watches it. >> My uncle heard that she was a s███-talking ass ████ talking about my parents. And then I heard that from my uncle and I instantly grabbed my phone and I had texted this ████ like four paragraphs about like, "F███ you. Who talks ████ on their family like that behind their backs, too. You're too much of a ████ to say it to anybody's face." And I was like, "You know, ████ you." And I I I did a little dig at like how my she asked my grandma for money to um to pay for her flight to come see my grandma who was like not doing good. I'm like, who does that even? like let's talk ████ about you for once. Like that's what I'm thinking about you, right? So just to hit her hard, right?

10:57 And then my man, my family went berserk about it. Like >> got mad at you for doing >> me. Yeah. For doing it. And my dad was like I'll never forget my dad pulls me aside. >> Not exactly. Cuz I was like with Nikki at the Cheesecake Factory. He's like, "You just ruined your relationship, your mom's relationship with her sister." And I'm like, "She doesn't have a relationship with her sister, Dad. Because if you've been paying attention, ever since we were kids, >> every time we ever hung out with her, mom would leave there crying because Aunt Aunt was just digging on her the whole time. >> She's not a good sister. And I'm sick of all this ████ in my family where they always go, "We got to keep the peace. >> It doesn't matter what they do, we got to keep the peace." So I'm like, "So the war is at home. The war is in our walls, but the peace is outside. Yep. >> That must be real nice. So I don't I'm not going to live my life like that." So I brought the war to them. >> Yeah. And eventually she was able to show her true colors within a couple of

11:47 years. And then my parents realized that I was right about it. Did I get an apology? Not really. So I just dig them every time I see them. I remind Oh yeah. Wasn't I right about that whole thing? I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." You know, it's like that. So, >> and then cut them off. >> You I cut her off and then every time I see her at any family thing, I don't stone cold. Don't talk to her. I'll hug people around her. Like literally just in a >> Wow. satellite hugs. >> Oh yeah, dude. So there's no love there. >> This is so cool. Just listening to white people's family style. It's >> ████ up ████ bro. >> Why? Cuz you feel not so different. Do you know it's not a white thing? We're all ████ trash of our race. >> Hey, let's ████ go, dog. >> I didn't believe I didn't believe Steve was white trash until he showed me a satellite view of his backyard >> and it looks like the junkyards. >> It's double wide trailer. >> Double wide trailer in the front >> where So you you're like sitting in like the living room and then you open the

12:37 windows and there's a double wide trailer. >> Beautiful. >> Yeah. And there's a junkyard with everyone's old cars back there. >> Is there train tracks by your uh >> uh No, not no >> he wants. >> Do you live in a town with a prison? >> What's that? >> A town with a prison. >> Say it again. >> A town with a prison. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. But >> they know if they break out, they'll just kill the white trash. >> Like um everyone who ever lived around my family, they would all complain because we're the family who's lowering everyone's property value. >> Overgrown property, junkyard. >> That's that's unity right there. We're always like, "You guys are the assholes." Like, "We don't want no HOA." Like, like, "You're the ████ >> You're letting yourselves be governed." >> How many uh storage units have you had repoed or what? >> Uh, not repo, but we had storage units on the property. >> Have you lost whole like content, >> bro? I lost a ████ like 1,500 card pack of Pokemon cards.

13:27 >> Are we the same person? >> I was so cuz I had I was working three jobs in college. My mom let this ████ go up in flames and I was like, I would have ████ bought it back. That s███'s worth millions right now. Some kid is happy as ████ >> Imagine we're that way. >> I know, man. Some white trash family in Missouri. Hey. >> Damn, >> dude. My Yeah, my Pokemon cards got stolen from our storage container. >> ████ up, man. >> By one of I think one of my white trash cousins, >> probably. >> The funny thing is I thought I thought all my white trash friends were hella rich cuz they always had car parts all over their backyard. And I'm like, you guys have so many like >> partial cars and full cars. And then they had the coolest garages with like hot babes and bikinis inside like posters and I'm like I wish my dad was like that. I wish we had a bunch of extra dad suits and ████ doing

14:17 classical music and we're going to church. How lame. >> It did look so much cool. >> And their dads don't beat their ass. They give them alcohol. >> Nice. >> And they beat their ass and they forget about it. >> They beat their ass. Yeah. >> I didn't get my ass beat at least. >> You know, I had stepdad so. >> Oh yeah. I guess white people had trouble too, huh? >> That's That's stupid. >> The internet is really portraying white people always like they had it good for the longest time. >> It's cuz he did he had a freaking amazing life. >> I had a great life. >> Yeah. Parents that love though. >> The way we make up for that is well your your skin colors. So you had more opportunities. Okay. >> Yeah. But that that's what it was portraying. But you know if we listen to these white trash stories, it's the same as anybody else. ears cuz Bart used to say ████ like we're in here and he's like well but as Asian parents like we're looking for like good schools around us and I'm like that's every

15:08 ████ parent. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. >> We're just trying We're trying to make you mad. I love it. >> Wow, that was good. >> Good ████ >> That was good ████ That was awesome. >> Hey, you're you're Does anybody in your family are they hoarders? >> Oh god. All >> that's me, too. >> My mom like collects these little ████ angels and ████ I'm like >> can't even lay on the couch. >> Me too. My mom collects wooden angels. I thought white people were rich. >> That's crazy. >> It's like wood carved angels. She's like obsessed with them. I'm not kidding. >> The porcelain ones which are terrifying. >> Like Precious Moments like those ones with the with the anime eyes. >> Uh no no. >> They're more catchy. More kits. >> Oh, scarier. Oh, like like antique road show kind. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Some look like dildos, though. Oddly. Strangely. Honestly, it's on purpose.
