0:00 And then my dad was like the other week he was like he asked me what happened to that car. I'm like I think it's just gone. And my dad went, "Oh, why did I do [Laughter] [Music] that?" Welcome back everybody to an episode of the careful boys. Uh this is a mainly mainly a question for people who have siblings, but of course like you know if you're an only child feel free to fantasize about it. Let's say your parents. All right. When they when they pass, they have like a multi-million dollar or a million. Let's make it easy. A million dollar inheritance that they pass on to their children. I feel like it's going to be split with you. Kill them all. No, just kill them all. You kill ████ everybody. No, you have a brother. Yeah, that one's That's a easy choice for me. Can I tell

0:50 you something? What? So, I don't got no brothers and sisters. Really? But Gio got brothers and sisters. Well, actually, Gio got sisters. You said that. And uh this is when I start to realize if your parents areing ████ or not. Yep. So she got someing Skrilla Gouda cheddar paper assets. Some of that stuff. One of the most um the one of the most uh appreciating things is she has a pad. Right. Uhhuh. in her brain, she thinks she's just going to split it equally on the will and bam, I've done my duties. Like she actually wrote like this this house is now equally split amongst everybody. And then I'm like, man, are you negative IQ?

1:43 Because you're just you just created a Game of Thrones situation where depending on where people are in their finances when you pass, there's going to be infighting like a mother because the only way to tap into any type of equity in the home, you got to sell the motherucker, you know? So now you're forced What about the person that's living in it though? Yeah. And I'm like, man, is somebody who's of the sisters are the sisters living in that house right now? No. What are the real variables? The real variable is the brother's family lives in that house. Oh, but the brother's family is not on the will. Yes. So, ████ King's Landing is occupied by ████ the Stark family. But you know what the Lannisters try to do? What do they try to do? You know what I'm saying? I didn't get that far. Yeah.

2:33 After the first episode when that kid falls out was bad. Yeah. He falls out the tower. He was like So that's what I'm like, man. Some parents I think they they think they're like fair, you know, cuz it sounds their intentions are good. Split it equally. But then they're not thinking step two, step three, step four, step five. What the hell is going to happen? What's what's the way that you think they should have done that? Well, first, so actually this is going to be my like this year or next year's resolution is try to hear out what I think the end result of what Gio's mom wants to do and then I'll help her plan and create something that will get there. But you sound like a Lannister, but like No, I'm not. Put it under all of my name. I'm not ████ taking no percentage. B A R Quan. Not a spell. Um, but I think she's also building. She

3:24 thinks splitting it equally is what is the result, but it's so far away from But that's not it's like the lazy way out because it's like, oh, I did the fair thing. It's equal. And then it's like, yeah, but then you leave a mess cuz you know that the siblings aren't all buddy buddy. Sounds like ████ liberal solutions. Or it's like this is what I think would be good and then the aftermath all sucks. cuz I've seen people where the I've seen situations where the inheritance was purposely left for the kid who had the least and uh when it came down to it, there was still infighting. I think some families are just going to have infighting no matter what you leave. Yeah. I think it all depends if the siblings like each other. Yeah, that's where that's where it matters. If siblings like each other, they'll be like, "Chill, let's figure out what's the best for all of us." Cuz you could leave nothing at all and they'll just fight over. Well, the thing is even if

4:15 the siblings like each other, that doesn't mean they still won't like be like, "Hey, I like you, so I'll talk to you about this, but like I still believe I deserve this for this reason." That's true. I mean, they'll do that, but it's exacerbated by not liking each other. I think then you could be vindicted. You could be like, "F███ you." Sometimes you don't even know though. Like sometimes there's not one sign of them not liking each other and then when this comes into the picture, it's it surfaces. Yeah. It's like the whole dynamic changes sometimes. My family had a war over my uncle Bob's like $200,000 comic book collection. Like a war, dude. And it ended with nobody ever sold the comics for a long time. And my uncle Mark's a ████ person. So he thinks that um if you're holding a comic book, uh even if it's in it's just bent and got run over by a tractor, it should be worth whatever it says in the book at mint price because my uncle Mark is a ████ ████ did too many drugs as

5:06 a child, right? And so, so then the family's just stalemated because everyone's like, "Well, we can't sell the comic book collection because everyone has different valuations on how much it's worth and we should get way more cuz we're the Millers and we're ████." And then and then my parents are just like, "Let's sell the damn thing, right? Let's sell the damn thing. Give everybody checks. Everybody will be happy. Like, that's a great way to do it." And my uncle Mark's like, "Bullshit. You're not ripping me off." And so it just turns into a big joke. Wow. But guess what? He It just sits in the garage. It didn't get ripped off. It just gets to get to sit around forever. It's great. My uh my and Nikki's Filipino family there there was a huge war over the house like grandma's house, grandma passed away, everyone's just Mexican standoff, right? And and it all just ended with my father-in-law basically having to put it all into a trust and liquidate it through a trust.

5:58 Wow. And there were people who they had their own little carveouts and their own little personal deals like, "Oh, but I helped grandma with the payments like for 3 months, so I should get a certain more a piece of equity higher." It's like all a bunch of ████ Yeah. It's crazy. Filipinos get pretty nasty about that type of stuff. I heard they're always fighting over land in the Philippines. Yeah, I hear that a lot actually. Yeah. If the care home nurse didn't sign it over while their freaking mom was that was the that's her Filipino side. And then my white trash side is doing the same exact ████ Yeah. People just fight about that ████ Well, no, they did the same thing over my grandma's house. So, if we're doing this on a smaller scale, doesn't it make sense why Kim Jong- killed his brother allegedly? Yeah. To get him out. Yeah. Get him out the way. Well, I mean, if there's an actual throne to be had, I think that's a little bit different than like Yeah. Uncle Mark's comic book. I know. But Uncle Bob's Uncle Bob. If us

6:48 peasants are going to fight over things like that, that makes total sense. Yeah. People fight harder when they when they have less, too. or especially when they feel like they're owed like especially towards the end of life and it's like I took care of mom you didn't take care like that type of ████ that part gets real messy that's really messy so much emotions are involved it's dicey but like I get that argument 100% yeah you know yeah but then you also don't know the dynamics of like whether or not people pushed you out from being able to take care or contribute cuz that happens too that's why it's an argument I get that there's an argument is weird it gets every every family's going to have like even my own situation like My parents don't have anything. They have a house, but even then they they've had to like uh refinance it like nine times to like get out of debt and stuff like that. It's crazy. So, it's just up to the normal value. So, they're still paying they're still paying a mortgage on it. It's been 34 years since they bought that house. And they're still

7:38 paying Bart's eyes got so big for a second. Yeah. Like, but my dad I just learned this like literally like a month ago. Um one of the times that he cashed out refied on it was uh to take care of $70,000 in credit card debt. And I was like, "You had 70,000 in credit cards." The Blockbuster video got stuck underneath the couch. Just keeps racking up. Probably. Honestly, probably. You know, it's just like, you know, financial literacy at that time. Dude, send Dave Ramsey to this video if you want him to have an instant heart attack and die. What's the stuff that your dad Where's your rainy day? Does your dad buy like luxury items at all? Not at all. I think Well, I mean, we also got into like a lawsuit one time, so there was probably a time where when he had to settle on that lawsuit. Like I'm not saying he used a credit card to pay that lawsuit, but like just probably life in general at that time was impossible to pay for. Yeah, he probably used cash for

8:28 the lawsuit and then credit card for life. Plus, he probably bet on the Hornets or something like that. Damn. I would have been a bit of lawyers with that. Does your dad Does your dad gambl? Not really. No, he's not that kind of guy. He doesn't have vices like that. Wow. Yeah. He's It's He's very He burnt someone's laundry and got sued. But the point is, so they all they have in terms of an asset is uh is just this condo. Yeah. But the thing is my sister, so I had I had learned, this is the funny part to me. I don't even think she knows uh that I know this, but my sister was helping with the mortgage at one point once she once she like graduated and got a job and everything like that. I was like, "Oh, dude, that's great." Like mentally, I've always just accepted like when my parents passed, it's like like just take the house. Like I'm there's no fight in it's like I should claim any one asset that my parents have left over

9:18 for us. You don't want to take the condo and then change the seat to a K. It's a Kinja's condo. Oh ████ dude. Damn it. This is why our business is failing. Um Ka's condo. I've always I've always just accepted it like that. However, I just found out again my dad was just telling me when we were going on a walk that like yeah, she did help out and she was helping pay for mortgage stuff and then when he kind of got out of debt and then he started working at like Uber and Lift and stuff like that, he's actually uh her name's on the title cuz it switched over to her, but he actually pays the mortgage now. So, and he's also paying extra to pay her back for what he paid that she paid in the past. I'm like, "Oh, so like she's not paying the mortgage." She's like, "No, no, no. I'm paying for it. is just in her name now. Huh? I don't know. Adulting is complicated, man. Yeah, cuz you just content. You were half listening to him.

10:08 You're probably half listening to him. No, no, no. I was listening because I was like I was like, "Where do I get my coffee from?" You know, adulting is is tough. What? That sounds funny to me. But, but regardless, she's also the one with like three kids, so I'm like to me I'm like I now Yeah. Wait till you get a baby. It's true. It's true. I've accepted and I've I've told myself mentally like with whatever happened that's just her house. Yeah, that's really cool of you. She and she like actually wants that to be her house. I assume so.

I assume. Well, I just assume because like it's a smart thing to have. One of our assets. Yeah. And she's always been like, you know, financially responsible. Smart. She owns a house right now. She owns a house. Yeah. Right now. I get Nikki's dad's nutcrackers. He has a huge nutcracker collection. Yeah. He has that warm black one, too. He has the warm black one. That's true. Yeah. Why is that one notable? What are those worth? Yeah. What why is that notable? Because it stands out. It's dark. It stands out. Yeah. It's like black Santa. What's the value of that? The Dutch style. Oh, it's not worth ████ to anybody but but the family. Like the family like it's traditional. He always adds a nutcracker every year. And so I get all his ████ nutcrackers. And every time I see him, I'm like those nutcrackers looking real good. You know how my mom be ████ crazy as ████

11:50 Before my dad passed, he kept trying to make me like instill in my mom and he tried to instill in my mom like when you pass pass the house on to bar. Please cuz my mom's tendencies is to give the whole thing to the temple. Yeah. Yeah. So he was like please tell your ████ stupid ass mom to not but at the for me I'm like yeah mom's stupid but ultimately that's her right too. Yeah. So, if she wants to be ████ and just give it all away, that's her choice. It's not up to me. It's not up to you. I was talking to my dad. So, I'm like, did she do that? No. But if she did, I wouldn't be surprised cuz that's her track record. Yeah. Oh, like her house right now. She sold her house to the to the fortune teller. Well, but she still

12:41 has her Monterey Park house. Oh, yeah. So, time travel. Yeah. Time. That's her track record, right? She sold she sold her the she sold her other house to the time traveler for like 170 below market value. Outlaw of the past. That's crazy. Time bandit. Time bandit is good. Time cop. No, she's a bandit. Her ████ bandit. That's her ████ not a sheriff of the law. I like that one. Time bandit cuz she's stealing. Yeah, she's stealing. Joe, do you remember with the churches? I don't know if this was like a thing that like a lot of people at church used to do this for 7th day Adventist, but if you had an old car, you just gave it to the church and tons of people. That sounds familiar. Part of your tidings cars for kids. It's just like what you do with old cars. I don't know if that's like other churches do that, but I grew

13:32 up with like any family member or like people once their car gets mildly old and they don't need it. Rather than give it to like someone in your family, they just give it up to the church. You don't just give it to the person that just got their license, like the new 16-year-old that needs like a $3,000 car. I mean, my dad did, but like other family and and people members of the church would just like give it to the church. Giving ████ to your family is dumb, too, though, cuz like I gave my car at a Ford Escort, gave to my little brother, and he blew it up in a year. Damn. He didn't he didn't check the oil. So, when you give somebody something, they don't always take care of it. Do they just liquidate it or do they keep it? I think I don't know. Maybe the church just gets money for it somehow. Maybe through like the cars for cash. Cars cars like that. Cash for clunkers. You take it easy. I don't like that jingle. I don't even know which one. Cars. The cars for kids one, dude. I wish like that. I got more cars from family. Want to donate immediately.

14:24 Cars for kids makes me want to drive off a bridge. Assets an asset. Like it'll be tight. In my own situation with my sister like obviously if the house goes I'm like cool. If my parents had a secret million dollars on top or some ████ like I'll be like 50/50. Why don't you go you get the condo. I get the million. How much you think that show? I love her kids too much. How much is the condo worth right now? Yeah, probably like 600 something. They bought it for 120. Wow. But they still owe like 550 on it, right? So then ████ I think they owed like like 40 or something on it. Oh, it's almost done. Almost there. They've been paying for 34 years. Home stretch, baby. Wow. That's crazy, man. But I get it. Like to me, I'm just like again, I'm so naive as a kid, you know, thinking like, oh, like we only got this like s█████ ass condo. All my friends got these big houses and stuff. And it's

15:14 like the idea, especially now learning more about real estate, like how they had to like refinance so many times in order to just afford to like keep me and my sister like Yeah, that's freaking real parenting. Yeah. Crazy, you know, and without showing the frustration of it, I think is worth a lot to me. That's a big one. Yeah. A million bucks to raise a kid now. That's what they say. Oh my god. I ain't paying that much, Joe. You know, they're going to live on scraps. You remember, you know how you had that Supra? Yeah. My dad had the same car growing up. You had a Supra? Yeah, I did. I always imagined that he would pass it on to me, but he gave it to my older cousin who then gave it to my like younger cousin by the time I already had like a new car, so they just assumed I didn't want an old Supra. And then like and then my cousin like who lives in Vegas now, he like crashed it or something and then just junked it. And then my dad was like the other week

16:04 he was like asked me what happened to that car. I'm like I think it's just gone. And my dad went, "Oh, why did I do that?" I should have just gave it to you. You would have took care of it. That's what I said. And he said the same thing. But I should have given it to He was trying to be nice. He was trying to be a good dude. Cuz at the time, like at the time that I should have got it, which is when I got my license, my dad had made a bet with me that I wasn't going to graduate high school. And if I graduated, he was going to he's going to buy me a a brand new car. Dude, that's the lowest bar I've ever heard about. Yeah, I know. Did he get you a brand new car? Yeah, I got That's how I got my 2001 Civic. Yeah. All you do is graduate high school. Your parents were so easy on you. Yeah, but I was like hanging by a thread. Oh, wow. And that's a Civic until this day. Dangled failure in order to get a not on purpose. I really was like, "Oh ████ I'm going to fail." I would have rather got a Supra than a

16:54 Me too. I really want. But it was that era where that Supra was kind of like the new one came out. What year do you Oh, you have the one. Well, it was like Yeah, that that Supra became like not cool for like 10 years and then it got cuz the circular light ones were ████ popping. Did it have a massive gay spoiler on the back? No. Okay. Cuz that flat I just saw one there. The way that my dad reacted is like those people that have Alzheimer's and they realize their wife died 30 years ago. Oh, how could this happen? He replayed all the wrong decisions. Exactly. Yeah. Cuz he sees now that like people like it again and he's like, "Ah, that's like that picture. You see that picture that that that lady who she was separated from her husband during World War II and then she he went like got a new family, had a whole life, and she

17:44 never remarried." And there's a picture of her seeing him again and like hugging him and he's just kind of like she's like like Yeah, it's rough. And he's like this. That's the still that they Yeah. You've seen that one, right? It's it's rough. He's kind of just like Yeah. They got a photo of that reflex. Damn. That's rough, right? You guys know uh Warren Buffett isn't going to give any inheritance to anyone. Yeah. Probably smart. Bill Gates is doing something. I think when like when rich people have that publicly out there that that's just what they say for their image. Maybe they do it in another way like there's a trust or there's something got to be something a like Jackie Chan. Yeah. I think there's there's levels to it too though, right? So it's like if you're worth like a billion dollars in your mind maybe leaving like a $2 million in a trust is like absolute penny dog ████ An insult to your kids. Cuz I think you

18:34 can actually ruin your family if they don't know how to handle it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you could ruin your business, too. True. They could ████ it up. Or they could live it up for like a couple years and then you burn out and then you die. But then what if they want to live it up in an evil way because, you know, they're so tired of all the normal pleasures. That's true. Yeah. Do you think Jackie Chan's really not giving his son anything? Uh, I don't know. But I'll tell you this, like, it's not like he hasn't lived a life that's already above the average entire existence. like he's probably killing my association. Well, that's what I mean. Cuz then if Jackie goes and he's really like, "Hey, you're not getting anything." Well, then all that stuff that that was part of the Jackie experience is gone. You think he's not going to take care of his kid? I don't think so. I think he's going to take Again, I think it's all relative. When you're like when you have a lot Well, number one, when you're famous

19:24 like that, you It's not even just the value of like money. It's just the fact that you're a part of that legacy. It's like It's like Shane and Lee being able to run like the Bruce Lee Foundation and have an entire career charge of the estate. Yeah. Like so you could have zero money. She can't even do the splits. I bet. No. Couldn't even What's your flying high kick? I never see you do like it. Dude, if I ever saw her, I'd be like, "Break a break some wood." Yeah. Two touch spinning back kick. No. I never thought of That's a funny ass throw a pair of nunchucks. All right, go. Shannon Lee, what are you going to do? was here, he'd he'd be like, "She never had to do the splits." And that's my legacy. He'd be bummed. He'd be like, "I do the splits." Yeah, I did that so she didn't have to. Dude, do you think Shaq is really not giving his kids any money? No. I think it's all PR. I think all this s███'s PR. Like,

20:14 it's like Jay Leno, right? Everyone talks about how Jay Leno, he's like, I only do stand up and I leave all the money that I had from the show in the bank. Still, dude, you're like 80 years old. I think it helps the public respect the kids more. I agree. Because they'll be like anything the kids do from now on, the public goes, "Oh, you did that yourself." And it keeps their friends from trying to leech on them, which I think is probably biggest problem. There you go. That's it. Yeah. But if all of their friends are rich, they might be the poorest one. Spud spuds kids from leeching on them.
