0:00 it was just like damn fool your dad's really gonna come out I was like come on don't trip and then he starts like screaming in Chinese you know what I'm like yeah this only knows mother this month [Music] so this thing happened in China that a little bit we could probably relate to um this father was scolding his son for getting bad grades his son's a teenager so he's just yelling at him grabs a uh like a decorative sword and starts like poking him you know like yelling at him about his grades because he got like an FNP samurai sword right uh it's like it's a three foot blade so whether that sounds pretty big dude yeah that's a big that's a big blade might be yeah it ain't a little boo but it's uh you know

0:51 yeah right and yelling at him and he accidentally like like pokes him like on his midsection makes about a four inch uh and then the kid starts bleeding to death and they can't stop it oh okay and the boy dies whoa dude hey was it that like I was just playing I mean the father did say he didn't mean to do it like he didn't mean to uh actually like stab him like he didn't mean to cut him that bad I'm trying to poke him I wanted to scare him then it ████ went in there's there's like I think the kid had two lacerations one of them was very small and the other one was the Fatal laceration around his midsection why like but it wasn't like a it definitely was not a uh he didn't restrain him and like give him a slice he was like berating him yelling at him they they ended up looking into this kid's like uh when they do the forensics

1:42 and they find out like there are other times where he may have like punched them or like hurt him yeah like as punishment but that's definitely like way way way over yeah so I a sword is crazy the father ended up doing I think I think I sentenced like 14 years for the yeah for his son's I guess it would be like I don't even know if that's an adequate like sentence or not yeah I don't know it's a Chinese one but uh I don't know if that what's the max for for um is in China that type in China maybe in China they go you do the full full team you know it's not like here because when we say 14 it's 14 okay ████ or maybe it's ████ like Chinese America when we say 14 we mean 16 okay oh because they have to overachieve oh yeah like yeah I'm leaving today like no yeah

2:32 right two more years you're like what the ████ he just moved the goal posts oh yeah right yeah right yeah you didn't suffer enough you must be dreaming stupid the funny like relatability that that oddly that I have for this story is that like when I was a kid and my dad was like pushing me or like yelling at me or doing stuff I would always be like oh I hope you mess up and you hurt me like real bad so I can like be like oh look what you did and then you die out yeah I didn't want to die but I'm like you know you always hope that you can turn the tide a little bit with something where like they'll come back and be like I'm sorry I didn't mean it but you know this is like it's like man I didn't mean it I just wanted to scare him it's like with a deadly weapon yeah I just think that's pretty stupid yeah they're just levels to this you know like everyone knows you

3:23 don't poke them with it you just get right into their face with it like you don't yeah ████ make contact it's kind of weird yeah bro it's like yeah you're gonna you're on a swordsman why is your decorative sword sharp enough but did you guys have you guys had the sword thing on the stand at your houses when you were growing up yeah was that an Asian joke dude that's not funny dude well yeah it's usually next to the gong no you guys never had that no like uh because I I had swords but not because my parents had swords to ████ threaten me to study I had sourced because I was a nerd and wanted some swords you know what I mean like it's different you're the cloud Sorter and my parents aren't gonna be like yeah hang your ████ swords up on the wall Anthony no they don't ████ do that in the living room it'll tie the room together yeah I'm gonna ████ freak you out so that you can study better like my mom threatened me with a Cleaver once when I was a kid my mom's like yeah did she saying that you she like put it

4:14 up to my face yo like like real and she was pissed what did you why what was the reason what I did my mom was swinging at I was probably doing some crazy ████ I had the body Slammer ass ████ dude I bought it something on the couch to have a soft landing and she had the knife in her hand doing that yeah no no yeah she was she was like I mean this was like maybe when I was like a freshman or a sophomore so I was like pretty cuckoo and so I think my mom was just being a single mom was just she was like probably had enough of my ████ too she lost it yeah she lost it and I was like man this ████ ████ crazy actually I picked a body slammed her and then I ████ went out with the homies I remember coming back I went out with the homie oh dude I remember coming back home at 3am my mom you know you know my Studio's house yeah my mom's was sitting on the front line in her ████

5:04 bathroom like this my home is dropping me off and like dude your mom's ████ tripping I'm like I know she's like this every day you she must have lost your her mind with you as a son no dude I was like have you guys talked about that recently because I know you're like patching up and like talking about a lot of stuff yeah we've been patching stuff up but remember when you had a Cleaver and I body slammed you on the couch how did that conversation yeah you were tripping she was probably buried a lot of memories just like how I buried a lot of my own memories just during that period yeah but then when I bring it up of like some of the stuff that she did like like uh when she was staying at my house she was like cutting uh with The Cutting Board I'm like whoa whoa whoa and my mom

5:55 starts laughing yeah [Laughter] like don't ████ bring that up like oh that's the next level bro yeah you don't ever act like you're gonna slam her again [Laughter] it's fun that you could laugh about stuff so sweet and I was so heavy back in the day right yeah I think that's the only way to really deal with that ████ like you and your dad like since you you can now speak freely about a lot of things yeah you probably didn't touch so much of that all this time huh yeah bro I mean we we do talk about stuff like that which is kind of crazy like the way

6:46 that me and my pops are now we're super open with with each other you know yeah like and that's that's tough like because even my brother he did a lot of stuff to my brother too but my brother is a firstborn so you know in the Chinese culture like they carry the firstborn like the most responsible they love them and stuff you know yeah and the younger ones it's like I had to tell my brother like like I had to call him like Google right which is older bro but I'm like bro we're from America bro I'm gonna call you James bro yeah yeah you know like and like I would like get beat up because my I wouldn't respect him and my brother could do whatever he wanted to me as a kid and if I if I like smack them back or it's over it's over I'll get beat up by my brother and I'll get beat up by my deck right yeah so that was crazy bro damn everybody was beating each other up in the 90s like yeah that just was the theme bro no cell phones man that's why yeah yeah no iPhones

7:37 right now does your family speak Cantonese or man yeah Mandarin Chinese they're actually born in Korea though because they like they're so my grandparents like fled the war you know fled communism and all that and then landed in Korea they had a flat flat I could fly go away again when Kim Jong-il came into Power yeah whatever [Laughter] are you able to laugh about crazy ████ that you guys probably did back in the day yeah because recently we were talking about it like he did the same like what BART was talking about like my dad did some ████ like that he he would always walk around so we have this house broom but it's like a short broom I don't know if you guys ever seen that right with a bunch of sticks yeah yeah so he would always yeah it's so effective it was bro but one time same

8:29 thing I was I got into argument with him and I was like I'm leaving this house and I ran away for a little bit then like I came home I think it was like 12 1am right and then this dude was waiting my dad was waiting outside and he was like chasing my homies oh ████ my homies oh yeah he ████ you and your friends up but at that time I remember the rage I felt because your homies are everything at that time yeah and you're just like ████ stop like I was screaming at him I was like yeah and then at that time I'm not happy about it but I pulled the strap on my dad oh ████ and then I was like and then that's what my dad just kind of like what the hell dude like he froze up a little bit and then he just kind of turned around and walked away and then my homies were like hey bro like that's not you know what I mean like that's not they're just taking the hits because they're like is respect it's your dad is ████ it yeah but then

9:19 it wasn't their favorite thing right like for having pts my dad Beat Me Harder it's okay we'll take it that's true homies though right but they were you know that's the different element now it's like although we like like he said you know he threw his mom onto the couch yeah where his kids nowadays like ████ you mom they don't care you know so yeah I think it was there was still that level of respect even though they were gang members you know we had to kind of still respect our elders a little bit right you know so but I had just lost it bro I had lost it because it was so embarrassing yeah it was just like damn fool your dad's really gonna come out I was like come on don't trip and then he starts like screaming in Chinese yo mother ████

10:09 you know what I'm like yeah this only knows mother this month do you and your dad now like joke about it the way him and his mom might like your dad just pulls out a gun he still has the broom [Music] no but he always say stuff like you were wild back then and I'm like yeah I know pops you know it's crazy yeah but he he would he always feels that kind of guilt because my dad was an alcoholic so he felt like you know at least like 50 of it was on him because he would just beat us for no reason I mean there's times where he would just like rage you know and I mean but now that we think about it he doesn't drink anymore which is like amazing he comes to church you know and so he's like damn like that's so crazy you know like it's like that you

11:00 know basically in the past now yeah yeah it's so cool to look at it that way and I always just make fun of his accent like I know that's messed up you know oh for sure yeah like one time he was at Home Depot go to and like Chinese people were freaking cheap bro like it's all money in no money out right so like he was trying to bargain at Home Depot I never I was a kid like at that time I remember like 10 or 11 years old and he's like the drill was I don't know 50 bucks he's like 25. and the guy was just like bro is this food really trying to yeah he's like no it has the boxes broken like what the ████ he's like yeah you did that he's trying to like bargain it you know can we get a discount on this and that and then I was just like damn to us it was normal but now that I think about it I'm like pops like you did some crazy stuff your dad ever go hey Johnny put your gun at him
