0:00 That's the roll out race. Yeah, >> just like Yeah. The off thebeaten pathways to solve problems like kill the HOA president. >> I like that one. >> This ████ tell me to mow my lawn again. Let's kidnap the break. >> All right, we're going to debate. Um, what what kind of Asian could you lean on if you needed serious help? Shut the ████ up, dude. It's so It's such a serious topic, too. >> Shut the ████ up, man. >> This is like It's like Asian week with Steve. >> No. >> All right, let's answer it. What? Okay, go ahead. >> Thank you. >> What Asian can you depend on when you need serious help? >> Serious help. >> And it's a debate. So,

0:50 >> what kind of help is it? Like financial help or is it like emotional help? >> They all they they all can help you. >> Let's divide them. So financial, >> they all can help you is beautiful. >> Which one? Which one would provide the best financial help? >> The best financial real one, too. Not like here's ████ a,000 bucks. I'm going to charge you 15% interest like a cheap Taiwanese ████ >> Oh yeah. >> I think true help is like, yo, >> just pay me back whenever you can. And in your mind, if they don't pay me back, I don't care. That's true help. >> That's my Chinese auntie. >> Chinese auntie. Your Chinese auntie is like that? >> Yeah. Because like, you know, there's always that one family that's more rich than all the other brothers. was the one that was giving you all the cool stuff. >> But like that one in my family is the brother because it's my dad's brother, but then his wife is the one who like makes a lot of the calls. >> Is that the one that gave you all the sick toys during Christmas? >> No, no, no, no, no. That's on my Vietnamese side. >> I feel like Chinese is they'll help you

1:41 or they'll ████ cheat you. It's never in the middle. Your Chinese auntie gave you large chums of money? >> Well, all I'm saying is to answer this question. So, for example, when my parents uh my dad got sued uh at the dry cleaners and stuff like that, they didn't have the money. So, all I know was for literally the last like 30 years, >> I don't even know if he paid it off yet, but I know that they lent him a huge amount of money. And it was just like, >> pay us when you can. >> So, the Chinese sued him, but the Chinese >> No, no, no. White people sued him. >> White people sued one one white guy. One ████ dumbass. >> Caucasian. The Caucasians and the Chinese Asian. >> We like to soup. >> ████ that guy. His name's Herbert. Anyways, >> Herbert the Pervert. >> Yeah. Yes. Terbert the pervert. Uh that being said, all I all I learned was that um this auntie >> like interestfree

2:31 20 30 year indefinite loan in my mind I was like in life emergency >> that's who I would have to cuz my parents if I had a life life emergency my parents got no money. >> Damn. >> They got debt that I'll probably assume. >> Wow. >> Dang. You think they would let's say you had a life emergency you think they would mortgage the house to help you or no? their own house. Well, that'd be a crazy life emergency. Like, what kind of life emergency is that? >> Let's say like you melted your toes together. >> Yeah. >> And they need to separate it somehow. >> Can't dance anymore, dude. >> I think they would just have the cash to pay for that surgery like this. >> I get a screwdriver and take it apart. That's not what I was picturing, but that's worse. >> This is hard surgery. You get a screwdriver, you can take it apart. I think they would go as far as reasonable.

3:21 >> Oh, okay. >> Without putting their own lives at risk. Yeah. >> Okay. >> First, let's try WD40 before we do. >> All right, >> Anthony. >> So, obviously >> obviously China can't Chinese can't be the one for emotional. >> ████ no, dude. >> Hell no. >> Which one's that then for emotional support? >> I think Filipinos socially. Yeah. >> If you got an event and you need everyone to show up, everyone's going to come. >> They'll come two hours late, but they're going to show up. >> Yeah, they do come through. >> Yeah. If it's like, "Oh, my son's graduating high school. Everyone's coming." But if it's Chinese, like, "Did he get a 4.0?" Oh, then it's not even worth it. >> Yeah, cuz Filipinos roll like Mexicans. >> That's so >> Yeah, Filipinos are good to speak to emotionally because they won't speak to you financially. >> Hey, that's true. >> What does that mean? >> They don't got that down. Oh, they're

4:12 not they're not going to hand you >> they're not financially savvy like that. >> They're not helping you with money. I got it. >> I don't think they're um >> they don't talk about it. >> Do you know any Filipinos that are like >> But they'll probably crowdfund and everyone puts in 20 bucks. >> Yeah, I think >> since they have a thousand people in their family >> at least grow I know I don't know how different my family is from most the Filipino families Anony's thinking of. But um we always like every every side of the family has that benefactor that's like yeah the ballin like for mine it was our our grandpa was a neurosurgeon. Wow. >> And he's actually >> um he actually has a picture with uh Ferdinand Marcos cuz he was his neurosurgeon. >> Was that >> he was the guy that ████ Philippines up bad? >> Really? >> Yeah. He was the president for that that was really corrupt. >> Oh ████ >> And uh that guy the trickle down economics from him was like awesome. He brought most of the people on that side of the family to America and everything.

5:03 So he'd be the problem solver until their family got into some ████ with money eventually and everyone had to fend for themselves. But they like I think interf family financially it's freaking solid >> cuz everybody pays for everybody's tuition for college. Today's video is brought to you by Uncommon Goods.

It's not like talked about and taught. I don't know, man. It It feels like it's it's it doesn't need to be. I think if you see it happening, >> like, you know, the concept of like using money to make money, >> like my my mom and dad are like, >> "Oh, they're not like business people at

7:34 all like that." No, they're not like like giving you hacks. They just they just work normal jobs and they save. Very very like conventional, very like, "Oh, that's traditional." It's like trad money, but it's not like they don't know. For the most part, I haven't observed them going like, "Hey, check this out. I did this thing and it got me this and it got me like" Like they don't do savvy like weird stuff. It's just happened to be a ████ a great nurse with a nice paycheck. >> Yeah. Cuz even even me and my my mom and my dad's like like level of money is different. So my mom's like more Taiwanese and my dad's Chinese. Like to this day me and mom will me and my mom will talk about stocks, Bitcoin, real estate. Damn. >> My dad was just like that. Like, I make money, I save half, that's it. >> No, we I never heard nothing about stocks. I didn't hear one thing about stocks my whole life from any family member. >> My mom would be like, text me randomly,

8:24 you got to buy gold right now. >> I think I think it's because like even my whole family only had one deadbeat dude that would like borrow money and just disappear all the time and they would just always give him money and they just peace out. But that we only had one of those. Everybody else made trad money just like regular. I went to college. I got a job. This is my income. >> I saved it. >> Yeah. I feel like that was more than enough for most of them. They wouldn't go try to seek supplemental income like that. Or they would just get into real estate. That was another thing, too. Yeah. But yeah, not definitely not what you're thinking where like they just have these like ways to multiply. >> Like I I didn't hear about that. >> What do you think you could lean on Vietnamese for, >> dude? ████ some ████ up. >> Yeah. That to roll out. >> Yeah, >> that's the roll out race. Yeah. >> Just like Yeah. The off thebeaten pathways to solve problems >> like kill the HOA president.

9:17 >> I like that one. >> This ████ tell me to mow my lawn again. Let's kidnap him to break. >> Yeah. I feel like it's the Vietnamese side of my family that's like if there's a problem like hit up that person. What? It's like like uh if you want to like you know commit some insurance fraud on like your car >> or if like you need something signed or you need a fake handicap placard or >> blackbox >> or like yeah you just you just need some stuff after market >> or like what's a cheap way to go about this you know like Vietnamese people got me on that. >> I feel like Vietnamese people don't got rules but got rules at the same time. Like when you look at how it works, I'm like it works, but I don't know how >> like the traffic and the ████ going on sidewalks and it's just >> it's like this chaos, but it all works.

10:09 >> It always works out. You know, like >> it's like flexibility. >> Those thing about like uh crossing the street in Vietnam. >> You just go. >> You don't you don't look at the cars. You just go >> for real. What if a big ass semi-trucks? >> They move around like they figure it out. Yeah. It's it's actually if you go like this, everybody's ████ >> Everyone you It's the flow of >> you die. Yeah. >> That was the crazy thing about being in Bali just seeing that organized chaos of like people on these little street bikes just >> it's like a microorganism of like look it looks like chaos but it flows so normally. >> Yeah. >> It's like a Yeah. It's like a school of fish in the water, right? When they're all huddled together, you think like aren't they hitting each other? No. >> They in flow. >> I feel like Vietnamese people are the kings of winging it. wing it or >> they're just like, "F███ that. >> ████ it, bro." And then, but everyone's

10:59 on the same page. >> So, like, if you're the one following the rules and ████ like, you're not on their flow. And then they're just getting ████ I'm like, "How did this skyrise get built when nobody comes here on time?" >> When there's no blueprints, >> they just say, "No, man. ████ it, dude." >> These people are also the downest, I think, cuz in my memory of like seeing fights break out among Asians, you know, like you see a bunch of Filipinos fighting, half of them are trying to break it up. Vietnamese, all the women, all the men, no one's breaking it up. They're all just >> everybody died. >> Not one person's like, "Stop." >> They're like the original 300. >> Yeah. >> Cuz the stuff that I'm like, that's kind of like I don't know. It's It's I think chances are not going to win. They don't give a ████ >> I've seen I've seen a Vietnamese like 5 foot three Vietnamese dude beating the ████ out of like a linebacker. >> Like just people that are like, I don't know, maybe maybe you shouldn't fight

11:51 him. And then I see that full slamming the other guy's head into the car hood and ████ I'm like, "What the >> dude? They're down, dude." >> Even our um karate teacher was like, "If you guys need to settle some stuff, come here." You know, >> I got plenty of Vietnamese guys you could borrow. >> He goes, "Come here. You guys could fight. One rule though, no Vietnamese." >> And we're like, "Why?" And he goes, "Come on." You know, they come back with guns and they shoot up the dojo. >> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. >> Crazy, >> bro. Vietnamese people are down, dude. The Asian you can always count on to be annoying is Koreans. >> Really? >> I don't know. >> We're always roasting Koreans. >> I know. That was one of the prompts. >> Well, because Yeah. He said, "What can you lean on?" And if you always >> You could rely on them to be annoying. >> If you're having a really good day >> and you just want to get annoyed, you could always just call the Korean homie and be like, "Hey, what's your favorite

12:42 car?" Boom. Hyundai Kia. He's going to tell you the the history of >> number one >> L Corporation. He's going to tell you the history of low >> that like right off the top. >> He'll just drain you. Hey, what's your favorite car? Do you know CJ Entertainment and Samsung history? >> And then he's going to talk about how Jaja me was ████ stolen from the Chinese. >> Oh no. >> Chinese a ████ steal. >> So you could always count on them to do that. >> So they're the opposite of that spectrum for like emotional support. >> Well, you could just lean on them for that. You know, they're going to be good at that. >> Yep. >> Do Japanese people have anything in any of these? You can't rely on them for ████ >> Nothing. Oh, if something needs to be well made, you could rely on them to be on time. >> Oh, that's nice. >> Trains run smooth, bro. True. >> On the dot. No mistakes. >> Their cities look really nice.

13:33 >> Joy's always on time. >> Isn't if they're more than like 3 minutes late, they refund your ticket or something. Right. In Japan, the train. >> Yeah. If they're If it's more than 3 minutes late, they'll refund you your whole ticket. >> Wow. >> Yeah. If the train pulls up late. >> Really? >> Yeah. They don't ████ around. >> Yep. They could be on time. Very dependable. >> Japanese is very quality. Like if they have a specialty in something, you can rely on the quality of that. >> But not better than Korean quality. It's a Japanese and then Korean is like up here and the Japanese keep a copy of the whole tank.
