0:00 When people are drowning, it's the funniest thing to me. That's comedy for you? Yeah. Joe was watching highlight vids on YouTube of people drowning. >> ████ like like it's like quicksand. Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. Um I wanted to ask Bart, do you feel like um when it comes to succeeding in the military, do certain ethnicities have different advantages? Yes. Ooh. Rank them. Yeah, rank rank them. Yeah. I don't know why. Okay, so out of the Asians, the most stellar ones I've seen in the military are all Vietnamese. Mhm. I don't know >> I believe it. >> Yeah, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's >> The fighting spirit, bro.
0:50 >> spirit or the refugee whatever, but I think and this is my anecdotal guess, I've seen more Vietnamese in special operations than any other Asian. Woah. And uh even just not even the regular military, um so in the Marine Corps we have a at least when I was in we had a three um RPFT, our physical fitness test. One of the things is measured by a three-mile run. Um 18 minutes is a perfect score. So that's like a 6-minute mile for a three for three miles. Vietnamese are the ones that I have seen out of the Asians that beat it consistently. 17 minutes, 16 minutes. Like 15 minutes even. Consistently I've seen Vietnamese just crush it. >> that jungle energy. >> Yeah, they got that jungle [laughter] energy or something.
1:40 So if you were to bet like which one of these guys are going to make it through special operations and if there's a Tran or a Win or whatever, I'm going to pick those ████ >> Ah, wow. Hey. What kind of Asians were you in the military with? So when I went in because it's 2003, there was like three of us. >> [laughter] >> Dang, that's it? It was full Korean. >> me, my buddy that was Korean, and I uh Pika Guamanian. He's like He's like borderline. I don't even know if that's Asian or not. >> I'm counting them. So wait wait, what about Richard and and Ryan? Were they a different >> Richard was in a different platoon. In my platoon, so there was like eight So there's nine I think 80 or 90 of us when we graduated there was like 50 or 60 of us. It was just us three. Some Guamanian dude, my friend that was Korean, and then me. That was Korean. >> [laughter] >> Guamanian's Polynesian, too. Richard was
2:30 at the same time but at a different platoon. Oh, I see. And I think in his platoon he was probably one of three. >> Wow. Do you think there's more Asians now? ████ yeah. A s███████ more. What do you think it's still Vietnamese on top of all the Asians now? >> For special operations, yeah. I think so. Besides the Asians, do you Is there like um you know, like Hispanic, white, black, who's like more elite? >> Rank it. Yeah, rank it. >> Rank it? Okay. If I had to bank on positive attitude, no matter how s█████ the situation, Hispanic. Wow. No matter They're They are fun-loving, man. >> [laughter] >> Do you want your unit? Dude, my uh so at my unit, um if we had to do like some straight crazy like field exercise or whatever and we got to leave at 3:00
3:21 a.m., 4:00 a.m., everyone's going to be like Oh, ████ The Hispanic ones ARE THE LIKE [laughter] WHAT'S UP, MAN? GARCIA. LIKE EVERYONE'S like just hyping like they already have their own ████ plans. Like uh they'll be like, "Dude, one two five ████ um ████ dice going to ████ bust out the grill." Like they're just like ready to have fun, you know? For me I'm like, "F██████ ████ I got a biology test next week. I'm not going to be able to study for this s███." >> Sounds like they play the cards they're dealt really well. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. And then I saw one dude So one of them was a motor T driver, and uh he made his own You know those subwoofer boxes that they that used to have? Out of MDF? >> Yeah. He made his own that had two 6x9s and like a little baby 8-in subwoofer
4:13 and a head unit built into it, and this whole thing was powered by you know those big square batteries? Yeah. >> The the square batteries that are like this with the ████ coils? Oh, no. What the hell is They're like You ever seen batteries that are like this big? Like uh like a car battery? No, not a car battery. They look like the diesel batteries, but like this big. I've not seen that. No, I don't think so. See if you can look it up like a Say big big like home >> [laughter] >> battery or something. But in the 7-tons, which are those big-ass military semi-truck looking things with like six wheels, there are no There's no radio. But if we're going to have to drive to 29 Palms or Camp Pendleton, that's going to be a 3-hour drive. So he built that thing and now he has radio in his 7-ton and he's like, "F███, yeah." And I'm like, "I don't even know if [snorts] that's legal, but they don't give a f███."
5:03 Yeah. Oh, right big flashlight battery. Big flashlight battery? Big-ass. Big-ass flashlight battery. Oh, these green ones? Oh, like this? Yeah yeah yeah, they're they're like this big. Woah. I've never even seen those before. Yeah, like that one. >> PGN? That powered the whole thing? Without an amp? >> Two 6x9s. I don't know what he did. >> hell? >> it himself. >> How did he get that, though? No, he bought it. No, no, I'm not talking about in boot camp. I'm talking once you get to your unit. Oh, I see. Yeah. Boot camp, he was able to find it. There's no way. No, in boot camp it Boot camp is a different world. You have You have zero time. You have zero choices. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT BATTERY? YEAH. IT WAS ON PRIME, SIR. >> [laughter] >> Next-day shipping. Where did YOU BUILD THIS SWEET-ASS BOOM BOX? ONCE YOU GET TO YOUR UNIT. [laughter] Do they Do they
5:53 all just start like all of a sudden like huddling with the same race? Like Hispanics here, blacks here, whites here. >> It's your job. Your job kicks it together. Oh, okay. So like you're a supplier here, if you're infantry you're here. Yeah. And then I would say um Yeah, different traits for each one. Yeah, and this is not stereotypical. This is like statistical. Um black people have the hardest time in the pools. Yeah, that's like a real thing that >> real thing. >> That's a thing, dude. Everyone in the military knows that, right? That's like a joke. You guys Yeah. >> thing. I convinced one of my black friends to join water polo, and that was a big mistake. >> Now, is that just because they they they don't tend to grow up swimming very often? It could be. I think they got dense bones, too, bro. That maybe that doesn't help. My boy he could not float. He was jacked, but he couldn't ████ float. >> If that's true, it could be the low body fat. Yeah, [laughter] yeah. There's I mean there's the cool thing is there are
6:43 black dudes that become SEALs, right? Like David Goggins. So you're like ████ king of the water and ████ So it is possible, but statistically Yeah, that part's it's a harder thing for them to deal with. Yeah. It was like uh seeing like when we did our pool exercise and then seeing like 6'1, 6'2 like buff-ass black dudes that like look like they played D1 football and then they're literally like crying in the water. >> [laughter] >> When people are drowning, it's the funniest thing to me. That's comedy for you? Yeah. Joe was watching highlight vids on YouTube of people drowning. >> ████ like like it's like quicksand. Like Cuz Because how easy is You just got to relax. >> The solution's simple, huh? You just got to ████ relax, bro. >> Swimming in the military is with full
7:33 clothes and boots. So you're thinking like a ████ >> And they're yelling at you. You're not wearing [laughter] board shorts, either. So it's it's already however heavy you are, you're also drenched in ████ So that guy is like this. He has his ████ Kevlar spinning around covering his face, you know? And then he might even have a rubber rifle and he's like What is like the black dude's advantage that they have? Where do they like excel more? If there's any type of ████ sprinting involved. >> [laughter] >> Are they like the people at the front of the pack when you guys have to run and do all that stuff with the gear? If it's sprinting. Yeah, cuz they're our cuz they practice a lot like run away from Kmart or something, right? When they're taking the ████ >> [laughter] >> And then they're running out of Target with all the stuff. They do get a lot of practice like that, yeah. That first 40 is fast, dude. That first 40 is quick. >> But that's That type of athleticism
8:23 actually doesn't translate that well into um military operations. >> much of it is endurance-based, too, right? >> is short like that. So at the end, I think a lot a lot of Caucasians are like, you know, they um they have the endurance gene or muscle fiber or whatever. So most things are like, "Okay, we got to go 15 miles that way." >> What did you say the endurance gene or muscle fiber? How What is that? So like um What do you mean? Like what What's that concept that like you have >> Fast twitch versus slow twitch? >> Yeah, for endurance which one is the one for endurance? Oh, okay. Twitch and you can you have more >> Can you guess what Bart is? Slow twitch. What do you think he would say? What What I think he would say? What I think you are. What do you What do you think you're fast twitch or slow twitch? >> My 23 said I'm fast twitch. Yeah, look at this guy. I'm slow twitch. We're probably all slow
9:13 twitch. >> why your cardio's so good. Son of a ████ >> at at like longevity? Yeah, probably longer distance. >> way more beneficial in the military. For the military? Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> I'll be gassed in like the first ████ I don't know, 30 seconds. I can't gain any muscle. >> [laughter] >> What the Where are you in terms of like 1 to 100 when in terms of like physicality and technicality in the military? Where do you think you were When I was in boot camp? >> Yeah, where did Yeah. What do you mean by physicality? Like >> If the Captain America guy is 100, where do you think you were? And the slowest guy is one. >> I joined boot camp, in my platoon, I probably was in the middle somewhere, like 50 50 somewhere. Cuz like I think you would have to measure across different things. >> Yeah. Um our our our honor grad in in
10:04 our platoon, if we had one, um that guy ran a 15-minute 3-mile. >> That's crazy. That's a 5-minute >> sprint the whole way through. It's ████ fast. He was a cardio machine. Yeah. Mine was 21 minutes. So, like a 7-minute mile for for 3 miles. Um and then but then that's on land. And then in the pool, I got swim class one. So, that's like the highest ranking you can get at at a boot camp level. Once you get through what Don is doing, there's other like swim class Q or whatever >> That's crazy. Um but in boot camp, swim class one is the number one. And then so, you would have to measure across the board. And I would say I was probably like 50 50% in the middle. There's like Yeah, it's like it was very eye-opening to see like how studly, I guess, a lot of people were. You're like, "Oh, s███." Like they You said white guys are better with uh
10:55 longevity stuff? >> Yeah, longer distance. Long dis- long distance, but also I think what white people have in their favor is statistically there's just more. So, you're going to see more studs come out of there. >> pool is just larger. >> three Asians. It's like in One of them's just good at math. And then the other one's swimming. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> That's 50/50, you know? swing the entire Asian stat. All three If all three fail, Uh-huh. they're like, "Dude, Asians suck." >> [laughter] >> There's only three of us, dude. And one of them's Guamanian. ████ borderline even let Guam Yeah, I don't even I don't even know if that's even counts. Damn. That's true. There's a bigger sample size. >> Yeah. Cuz like if the if out of every How many platoons is in a company? In in boot camp? >> Like five or some ████ or In boot camp? Well, anyway, there might have been like five or something. >> 80 in a platoon, right? And you train
11:45 with the these guys and whatever, right? Percentage-wise, would you say over 50% is white? >> Yeah, 50 to 60. >> But then if every single platoon is like 50%, that means like there's 40 people at least that they could choose from. So, it's like the best and the worst is probably going to be white. >> Yeah. How many Indian guys did you see? In my platoon, none. In my whole company, none. But when I got to my unit, there was one. Whoa. >> like, "Oh, ████ THAT'S CRAZY." WAS IT like like uh a poo Indian or like more like um Chief Running Bull Indian? A poo Indian. But but a poo American. Oh. So, he's So, he had no accent, like a regular regular person. Dang, I wonder how many Indian like dudes there are that try to >> Probably not much, dude. Yeah. The biggest studs were white because of just numbers. Yeah, I would say pure pure numbers would probably be
12:36 white. >> What do you What do you think an Indian guy's advantage would be in the military? >> If if they did probably some sort of like engineering, math, science-based thing. Medic. Medic. >> [laughter] >> Gauze, bandages. Yeah, dude. Keeping the energy really good in the platoon. The because whatever they No, never mind. >> [laughter] >> What did you say? Everybody is having a good time. Thank you very much. >> [laughter] >> Everybody's all right, I guess. Be Indian drill sergeant. I don't you not do >> [laughter] >> That's A GREAT START. I DID YOU DO this and I don't you not do. Why did you redeem? I told YOU NOT TO. WHY DID YOU REDEEM? >> [laughter] >> Why did you do that?
