I just do it cuz I'm an ████ Cuz you want to test it. Is there a hybrid at Toyota? It is. I think Toyotas know Honda cuz I think Toyotas think people know that people are idiots so they have like an extra buffer. They do for sure. All cars have an extra buffer. I watched 2020 a couple years ago. My my Land Cruiser

2:33 once it hit zero I still got 30 miles out of it. Well, that's also because you have it's half electric, right? Tyler, is it ready? Yeah. The Chevy? Yeah. When it hit All right, let's start. Jose, you overestimated you son of a ████ That's American car. I know. Wait, didn't you also like mod that out like crazy though? It can't it can't read all the extra ████ you did to it. But like if it's different tires, it might be like That's true. It's all unccalibrated. That's true. No, I blame it on the car. It should It should auto adjust. Can we do this for 18 more minutes? We already burned 5 minutes, you guys. We could blame it on the institutionalized racism. What did you do exactly? You ran out of gas. You ran out of gas. No, it just went to zero. So I I got scared. It's the car's fault. No, no. I bl I blame it on institutionalized racism. It is rolling,

3:23 by the way. How come? Where did you go this morning? Cuz you were behind me at 8:00 a.m. when I left. Oh, he was right behind you. Yeah, when I left the brewery. Cuz I left early to go to the bank, but then the bank don't open till 9:00. And you saw him? We going to the bank for no stupid ████ I have I have to pull out cash to uh do to transport my uh cars. I was at Lincoln Shores. You ever been to Lincoln Shores? What the heck is that? Oh, Lincoln Shores. It's just next to like uh Boil Lakes. Boiled Lakes. No, it's at Barb. It's training. Oh, nice. Do you go home first to shower or do you come straight here? Yeah, I go there. I go home, shower, and then from from showering, then I come here. You don't shower in the back of Barbone with the hose anymore? No. I I found out scare the members. I found out through

4:13 some people that it's uh it's called this weird phrase called like bad looks or something. Bad looks or bad PR. Oh, so it's not good where like you have like regular people that have regular 9 to5. They're just trying to train and then it's imagine like you show up to like ████ like JK and like Joe showering in the bathroom. The owner the franchise owner of El Poo Locos like scrubbing his nuts in the back. Like I think it makes you look relatable. You're like I don't know if I want to get chicken here anymore. That's like that footage of Subway. Did you see that? When the one of the owners like cutting the vegetables, but he was like an Indian guy and he was like sitting cross-legged on the back counter with his feet out. Oh no. Oh, that's different. That's different. That's different. Here, I got a joke. But that's how we know we made it. I think it's off cuz like when you have a business and it still has family vibes, it's still mom and pop, right? The minute they start got to clean ████ up,

5:03 oh ████ we're turning corporate now. We're getting real corporate. No nut scrubbing in the back. So I was like, dude, I think we made it. But now that you like didn't sell it, can't you just go scrub your nuts again? Yeah. No, because we're we're trying to maintain that corporate feel. That's cool. That's cool. So, everyone feels love a corporate feel. Yeah. Everyone loves that corporate feel. It's very warm and welcoming. Is there a Chinese phrase equivalent to bad look? Bing bang bow. That's racist, dude. No. Bad look. You're racist. No, I don't think so. I don't think I don't think appearance or how you come off is even in the Chinese. I was like, what's the word for it though? I think it's just cuz you go to any ████ Chinese restaurant like all that ████ Remember we're talking about in the car? Yeah. Yeah. S███'s all up in the front. Like the manager don't give a ████ The ████ waiter like you're like, "Hello, hello." So if you have to

5:53 tell, let's say that you run a Chinese business and you got to tell everybody, "Hey, like put on your best looks." Is there like a phrase that's No, they um in English they the concept is to save face. Oh, is that the same? But that's more shame and embarrassment though. That's different. That's like a family honor ████ presentation. But there's also like for example like doing um weddings or something like that in a certain way even though you can't afford it. It's like for your face. Safe face is a pretty sick. But the real cause is to flex on ████ Yep. Flex on your You know, there's no core like oh like like this. How do I represent myself? It's not. It's like, "Okay, how do I scam you, flex on you, make you Isn't that exactly what you're doing to investors at Barbell where it's like normally you shower there, but you're like, "Oh ████ we want them to buy us, so no more showers." Singo, cuz I'm Chinese. So him, I'm not doing it for

6:43 the sake of professionalism. I'm doing it cuz I'm Chinese. You not ho showering is a flex. It's a It's safe face for barbell. The standards are low. You don't see ████ doing their daily hygiene in the back anymore. Do you Would you sell the jib? Yeah. What if someone What's the What's the price you would sell it at? Um anywhere from like $40? A million to like $2,000. Very realistic. Anywhere from a million to 2,000. Oh, yeah. Flound flexible, man. We do payment plans. Whatever. I like how it doesn't ascend. It descend. So when when you're haggling that that million is the max, you just keep saying yes. I don't want more than a million. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to tie me up. As soon as they pull the pen out to sign the paper like Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's good for negotiating. Is there a

7:33 competing gym that you would not sell to if they wanted to absorb it? No. They're the best people to sell to. And like the whole mergers and acquisitions game, that's the best cuz they're motive to buy more of the market share. So they're like, "Oh ████ I could buy this." You know how many bies turn into LA Fitness? Oh, that's right. Most of them, man. That's the number one. Isn't Isn't the Baliest Hotel Planet Fitness now in Vegas? I don't know, dude. It's like It could be. Yeah. I would be surprised if it's a horseshoe. It's the horseshoe I think. Is it? What if What if after this video comes out, then Silent Mike wants to turn into a Third Street barbell for $2,000? Hit me up, dude. Venmo me. You know my Venmo. Just send it. Yeah, dude. Venmo, zel, whatever, dude. I can send that. What if Dave hits you up? wants to turn into a jumbie and then Joe has to work it. Oh

8:24 yeah, David. So he buys it. David, David buys it. Puts Joe to work there. Yeah, Joe has to work there. Joe has to fly back and forth from Hawaii, dude. That's called June Brigade. Yeah, it's worth alternating days. I'm like, that's what if that's what you want to do with your business. Go ahead, David. Whatever you want. He makes Joe fly back and forth on his own dime. You got to manage both stores. Dude, that's one of my favorite bits that Joe works for David. It's my favorite. I like the idea, too, that David's always monitoring him. Like, like even like we have cameras at JK that we have to post a picture, like a fake picture of a screenshot of like this room empty. So, he's like, "Okay, Joe's probably working today." Yeah, that's where I was this morning. I was working out, heading home to shower, coming here. What were you doing, Ryan?

9:14 Nothing. I just left to go to the bank, which I didn't look up that it opens at Are you guys like staying together? This is how we find out you guys were staying together. And yeah, you guys ████ Barbell Barbell is like neighbors with Brewery. Yeah, we're like right next to each other and he he almost tricked me. You're next to each other. I could hear him drop his weights. No, cuz I was driving and I could have sworn I'm I was right behind Ryan's car. So I took a picture of his car and I sent it to him and then I was like, "Wait, is that Ryan's car?" So I texted Ryan. I was like, "Is this you?" And I'm all trying to make eye contact with them in the side mirror. And then I was like, "Oh ████ maybe I shouldn't do that cuz it could be some crazy ass guy in LA going, "What the ████ this guy want with me?" Pull out a gun or something like, "Oh, I won't want to piss off this Indian guy." And so I went back I went back to driving. I get a lot of hate nowadays. And then I finally saw Ryan's face. I was, "Oh, thank god it was ████ Ryan." I mean, his car is pretty much a one of one, right? It was my I was driving my Civic. Uh, but even that was

10:06 pretty one of one, too. I think I feel like I can spy your car. This is the blue car. Wow. But it's like, don't they got special wheels and a and a special license plate? You should know something about that with like rims that you never got for like 9 months or something. What the hell is that? I I took my rims off and I replaced them with just plain black steelies so that my car wouldn't get stolen. I didn't want it to look like it was valuable in Well, you can put the the the better rims back on in Vegas. Yeah. What are you doing with the rims then? Which one? What? You saved them or I sold them. I just wanted it cuz I used to park that car in the front. Oh, on the street. Yeah, that's too dangerous. People keep like I like people always take the brewery will take photos of people snooping around and my car's always there. Yeah. Your van would have been in bricks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm like, damn. They're going to take my uh Well, luckily that's the only car I have that still has the the cat on

10:56 it, the catalytic. But then it's so low that you can't jack it with a normal jack. So, I'm the only person that doesn't get stolen. That's a lot of anxiety, huh? Doesn't that suck to think of things like that? Like every day you're thinking of what the ████ is going to happen. Nick loves that though. Nick wakes up every day. He's hard. You should live in Pasadena, dude. It's way chill. Yeah, you guys end up with an extra catalytic converter on your car. Like, oh, too, donated by the city in case stolen. Yeah, most of the cars that are parked in the front got their cats stolen or uh window smashed. There's someone took a picture of a guy eating off my hood. Okay. You want You want to know how passing is better? One guy tried to he broke it on my car. He left his phone in there for me. Oh yeah, I have a cell phone. Really? What an idiot. And he put a jacket on my car on my on my and and the guy that robbed your house left his DNA. He did. He left me some uh little couple logs for me,

11:46 dude. That's insane. It's a little different. Pasadena in LA. You know what I mean? They're a little nicer in our neck of the woods. Yeah. I have a cool little Android 3 in my in my I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but might get a a chip in I'll never get over the comedy of robbing a house and taking a ████ in the kid's room and not flushing it. Like, damn. It's a power It's a power move. Total power move. Honestly, I don't know who the guy is, but it feels personal, honestly. Yeah, that was about domination. I still think about him to this day. I still And he must be like, "Yeah, I bet he does think about me. I bet he does think about I own his brain. That's his signature, dude." And it was just like I remember when I came home it was just like the weirdest setup. He literally wedged open the like the the I guess like a with like a chunk class or something. Yeah. He put a ████ he put my slip and once again my my ████ again.

12:38 It was my Old Navy slipper. I remember it. It was my navy blue Old Navy slipper just wedged in there and I and the whole time I was like why did he do that? Because it wasn't like he was moving big items like he stole like food and a laptop. That's what he stole. Oh method probably. Yeah. Nothing's going to make sense. Yeah, that's that's true. That's why at least he went in the toilet. That's pretty cool. I know. It could have been on the living room. Yeah, that's actually pretty cool when you think about it like that. Better than the carpet. Yeah, absolutely. A human ████ in my house. I don't know. That's tough. That's really like on the floor though. Like on the floor like on your carpet. Yeah. Where you got to really do something. Oh my god. The little Bissell can't clean that. That would suck. You tried. Oh, it was on the ground. It wasn't on the No, it was. But we're saying like, God forbid because if he was a methhead, most likely it would be not in a toilet,

13:30 right? Yeah. It would just be like on the wall. He was a pretty organized meth head. I think when I was in Korea Town, buddy of mine, we were we're getting Panda Express, as one does. We're going to go watch Out for Justice with Stephen Seagull at my house. Yes, dude. What a movie. What a dream. And we were pulling in. There's like outside of like that place where I used to live, there's like so many parking spots, but they were all taken except for one. And we start pulling in and then somebody comes in and cuts cuts us off. And my buddy Andy at the time, this guy like he's this Boston ████ ████ He's like, "Okay, all right. That's how you want to play it." That's what that's all he said. Then we go inside. I turn on the thing. I'm like, "Damn, what guy's a dick." And stuff like that. He's like, "Yep, yep, guy's a dick." And then um and he's like, "Can you excuse me for a second?" He goes in the bathroom with his Panda Express bag. He takes his ████ in the bag and then he goes outside and throws the his human ████ all over their

14:21 car. Oh my god. All over their car. Nice. Biological warfare. Yeah. Did you hang out with him again after that? Oh yeah. But honestly, like at that moment there was a part of you that respects it. I love how I love the pettiness. I admire the pettiness. I don't know that I could make myself ████ if I had to. Like he did. Like that was inspirational. It was probably just uh convenient. Yeah. He's like, "Oo, I got to take a big s███." It could be. So, did he bag it and then smear it all over the hood? He bagged it up in the panda bag and then like just calmly as hell walked outside like just as calm as like he's just taking a walk. Yeah. And then just like all over the guy's hood. Just like empty the bag all over. I'm always so curious about people that steal people's parking spaces like that. Yeah. cuz you know you just gave the other

15:12 person the last move. Mhm. It's like putting in a quarter in Street Fighter, right? And then you move your character in front of them and you walk away and then now this guy could beat the ████ out of you. You're going inside like like why would you ever do that? Or maybe it never happened to me before. I always give up the space. Like how could you? I would too. I remember this brother. Would you be confident walking away from your car at after you just cut someone off like Nick goes I'm going to take this L. And then he go and then he and then happens later he's like I'm going to take this L. Yeah. And I'm going to pay it back. When I lose my mind, the one guy that tips the scale, he's going to get it. He gets all of it. I will steal a parking spot in like in like Spring uh Spring Valley in front of someone. What? Why would you do that? Because they do it like crazy. So, it's just the name of the game out there. But you come out and like your whole car gets keyed. No, because they're Asians and they won't do that.

16:03 Really? I'm Asian and I would do that. You're not a regular Asian and you could tell by your cars. You're not a regular Asian. What are you talking about? You're not a regular Asian. You're not a regular Asian. What's a regular Asian? You're a regular Asian regular Asian. Hey, some of the people that are messing up Teslas are Asian. Hey, has that happened to your Tesla yet? My Tesla already looks messed up. Why? Cuz somebody rear ended it accident Asian that rear ended. I fixed it, but then I didn't like rewrap the back part cuz like what the ████ So it looks custom now, dude. So they probably feel bad for you as they go by. They're probably like, "This guy must have voted for Elon." Yeah. Oh, this Elon guy Oh, it already looks pretty rad. Did a Asian rear end deal? No, it's a Mexican guy. No driver's license. No driver. So, it was a it was a ████ to get the insurance. But I bet they have insurance, right? They did. That didn't cover that for some reason. It was

16:53 everything but this. So, like none of it was covered. But like luckily I I it was a family friend who was my agent for farmers at the time cuz it was still in California. Um, so I had her help me out like crazy. Um, and eventually I got my deductible paid back by farmers. What can they do to help you out in that way? It's just dude, you know what's crazy? It's like the second it quote unquote gets settled or like the case closed that like, oh, they don't have insurance, so like you still got to pay this. It's like they block you. Like the person that's your claims person, they coast you. Yeah, I bet that's true. It's like they block you and then you keep calling around and then finally when I literally was texting some customer service number and calling somebody else like and left four voicemails. I was calling every day and finally that person like had to call me back and was just like hey your claims number actually got moved to this person. Wow.

17:44 So then I started I was like okay. So like I I hit up my agent again. I was like it's they moved it to this person. I need to hit this person up. So I'm hitting this person up. She's hitting this person up. And then finally they get back to me like okay we can reopen your case now. how your claim number moves to this person. I'm like, ████ a. I just hope you give up insurance. I just hope you give up. I hope you give up. ████ bastard. They spend all their money in those ████ commercials and they work, too. Cuz as soon as you said farmers, I went bump bump in my head. That's why, man. Everyone loves him. Yeah, he he got big fans right now. You know who everyone loves is ████ State Farm guy. Dude, after after Dude, after the LA fires, that guy taking a lot of heat online. Why? Why didn't he do? Well, he's just the the face of the company. So, like as all these people were trying to get their money, they're like, "Hey, ████ you, Jacob stay." So, like all the

18:34 all the video memes that they were making on MidJourney to like express how much the insurance companies didn't give a ████ They were using his image because actually think he owns the company. Show him like laughing maniacally like driving away like like they got to give him. He's all over the website smiling and be like, "Hey, do you think they'll give him a little something for that?" No, probably not. But he signed up for it. There's also like no such thing as bad press, right? If you use it right? I think some press I would rather not have. Do you believe in that? You're trying to give Steve something a dunk on you the whole day with Kimcha Bang Noodles and all the other cool. You're coming in real hard for being real late. You know what I mean? Like day one. I'm trying to help you. You said I'm running late. My car lied to me. It went from zero. You said no back press, no press, no bat. That's what you said. And I'm sure I said bing bang bow. your joke yesterday. You called me racist. You need to go suck a

19:25 dick racist. You're racist. You're racist. Joe's racist. I am. ████ working the whole time. So, we're already like He's Japanese. He's the real enemy, dude. Probably the clock wasn't working the whole time. What's your favorite Alfred Justice scene? Oh my god. The pool hall scene. The pool. I was going to say, same thing. The one of the greatest ████ fights in my favorite, you know, Danny and the Santo. Yeah. Yeah. So, he's in that, right? Sticks guy. Yeah. He's in that. He's like when when uh when the dude uh Steven Zigal comes in to beat everybody's ass in the pool hall. And by the way, he doesn't even want to play pool. I think he was just there to kick ass. He's just there holding Danny Nacho was there holding a pool stick just watching him like kick everybody's ass. And then finally he he takes his sticks apart and he goes like this. And then everybody around all, yeah, get him sticks. Get him sticks. His name is Sticks. Sick. Then he uses the pool sticks like like Esma and he

20:16 gets and then he gets kicked once and he's dead. God damn it. He's so dude. But Seagal's like using everything in the pool table. You got the cues, you got the balls, and you got the pool table. If you haven't seen Alford Justice, highly recommend it. Great movie. Probably one of the best. A great villain in that movie, too. That that cat. Dude, that guy's crazy. Great, dude. I know you. From the first time he goes off, you it's unpredictable what he'll do. You're unpredictable. You're unpredictable. Out for Justice out now. Speaking of villains, you're a racist. You're a villain.
