0:00 I thought they get government subsidies that's cool I don't know what that means bro turn the video off don't say big words to me [Laughter] [Music] dude all right so everybody welcome back to another awesome episode of the careful boys featuring Mr Joe Wong Joe Wong ladies and gentlemen there he is thanks for having me here again and again and again thanks so much it's a lot of fun this video is coming out first actually oh really oh no now I look like a crazy person that's okay I just you know it's a Chris Christopher Nolan the end starts yeah exactly
0:52 momento okay so um I wanted to pose this question everybody's open to answering this of course uh in their own native country tongue oh oh tongue yes but nobody's going to understand when I speak Joe's Joe will what did you say I already did misunderstood that anyway um yeah Joe will that's very good what okay especially because you know you said you were living in China and then you recently came to America all right what do you like more about China versus America or what do you like more about America versus China everybody's more than welcome to answer in their own native country pretty cool can't we just talk about China yeah it's not America's native to Me Foo but what I do okay thank you yeah do but what I what I do like about Japan is I was asking him
1:44 first to worry about any dangers that's a pretty good one ████ cuz in all over all over the world I feel like there's the there's the danger sense threat like Public Safety right no yeah you're right I'm like there's a there's a homeless man there he looks like he's about to bite me and then they're like those bunch of guys oh they're just playing they're just playing sports they're not they're not they're not going to try to rob me whatever right or like and then you go to even Europe even Europe they're like oh that guy's playing the ████ ball game they're going to try to Jack me you know it's just the cup thing yeah yeah yeah it's I feel like oh there's a drunk guy there looking for fight whatever yeah there's always a threat but then when when you're in Japan it's just
2:35 Sailor Moon everywhere that's pretty cool does that also apply to every city in Japan no I mean there is the the the crazy ████ but that's like one area in Tokyo that's not the whole country it's actually the whole country is safe and then you got like a pocket of ████ up places that's really small it's like two streets it is so impressively safe yeah it is you definitely don't feel too much danger there I I do envy that about Japan now what's something you like about America that Japan can't do guns baby that's the reason why it's not safe by the way the complete opposite the funny thing you know he's telling the truth that's absolutely the truth I love the contrast I love it that's so good that's why he lives in
3:25 eight different places dude two different Lifestyles one is I'm in the forest with a gun on my side and and then we can go into anywhere and just do targets and whatever and then that it's there's a lot of space then the others is just you know completely different culture different world I don't know if they have bears but when I'm camping you know I don't think like a bear is going to bite me I don't know I think they do have Bears I've just never been camping you went all the way to Japan to Camp no I'm imagining that I was camping there yeah I'm like there's a lot in Downtown LA you know you have to go to Japan to go camping yeah you we got tents everywhere exactly we got too many really but do you do you regularly carry a gun with you or yeah oh wow yeah I think it's wonderful I think it's it's
4:15 fun gundul this guy go through goes through ammo so quickly yeah he just gives it out dude what what about you for you is there like anything you like about China more than America or America yeah well for China I was say the the tween oh yeah yeah EXA right the twen syst I got you said the train yeah I bet that's dope I mean the the high speeed TNS they're really high speed you know it's like 300 km per hour wow that's they are sick not faster than Japan but I'm I'm I never took a tween in Japan but uh you know this you know I'm talking about China just like it was so on time the efficiency yeah just I remember one couple from Canada were on the same train they were like they
5:05 just came from Italy they took the train in Italy they were like they even got the uh stops uh got the station Nam wrong you know the the radio was saying that the next station is this but it's actually not they just completely messed up but then they forgot their own station name the Italians were Italians yeah even from the speakers it was long station you know but then like China just everything is so well run especially the rail system and that's part of the reason why the comedy scene boom so much it's also comedians can make a good living just travel to different cities to do comedy so oh they don't need to drive oh no they don't have to drive just like half hour train you know one hour train you're in another city doing three shows here and then Zoom you're back or you know just very convenient that's true
5:56 that's pretty cool EXA yeah yeah that eliminates a whole you the train here oh yeah I did it was a disgrace man just like I rode the train from uh Boston to New York high speed 24 hours I'm like are you kidding me this you know like this twin station also you know just oh my God so gross oh yeah this just so so messy that was a highpe speed American train it's 4 hours that's a Salah from yeah Boston New York yeah have you taken a train in La yet no I haven't don't ever do it they're so nice oh okay never ever do it I took the metro to Chinatown from Pasadena I think no no no from here from the there's like a station right here also 4
6:47 hours hours that's about like 5 miles yeah so what do you like about America more oh uh America has one thing that China doesn't uh which is uh Chinatown [Laughter] ████ he got me there yeah he's like holy ████ I he absolutely right the only yeah I recently saw this uh short video of This American dude in in tungu I was hilarious he was like look I'm in Chinatown in tungu I'm like every every city in China is a Chinatown what are you talking about thought it was Chinatown yeah yeah that's so funny I know but sometimes the American tourists will make the most insane comments where outside of America yeah most recently I
7:38 saw this group of kids in Paris uh in front of the Eiffel Tower and one said just oh I still prefer the epot center who would say such a thing Epcot Center yeah yeah but then they got into an argument you know oh Avoca Center is better no no the real real friend is better that's the dumbest story and then someone comes in and goes Las Vegas is better yeah exactly yeah have you been to that Eiffel Tower that's in China oh there there I don't know which one there are quite a few there's are quite a few quite a few yeah makes sense China is nuts which one's the best one so so basically there isn't anything in America that's uh that you like better oh um which is okay yeah
8:28 yeah just very different con like what what he was saying you know just different style I guess it's like a opposite is cool yeah how different it is I mean you know I love the you know like New York comedy scene I think that's great you know just I don't know I've never been to London or anything but I still feel that the comedy scene in New York is probably the best yeah so the New York New Yorkers culture you can't find anywhere else in the world probably not yeah yeah I I heard this funny stereotype or about New Yorkers they say mean things but they're actually very nice and West coasters they act very nice but they're actually very mean oh yeah yeah that's true yeah if you go to New York people are very uh T you know they're
9:20 abrupt you know but then they actually help you you know that's that's the difference I guess you know but damn we suck over here huh we got nothing yeah we're pretty ████ what about uh we probably got better hamburgers than than China China probably I I wouldn't say that seriously oh yeah hamburgers are really good we're getting beat out in hamburgers yeah if you go to cuz I what I had there's uh some restaurants in in um Shaman when I performed there this Chef came from New York oh and their burgers such oh my God it was so good you know just just today's video is brought to you by Lumi I've been doing a lot of research about deodorant and I said dang how come there's so much aluminum and all of these different brands that I've been
10:10 wearing I've been sucking that up in my skin and what I decided to do is just altogether stop until Lumi came to my rescue because did you know this is paraben free aluminum free they got all kinds of whack ass Metals that'll soak you into your skin and turn you into uh tox Iron Man and what's cool it was designed by an actual doctor a OBGYN and she designed a deodorant for the hooa and then she realized wait if it's sensed enough and pH balanc enough for the HOA why don't I make deodorant for your whole body and what's cool is instead of covering up the odor she treats it at the source so that it doesn't even smell to begin with yeah this is one of my favorite smells Tangerine Girl if you put this from head
11:00 to toe talking to my wife I will lick it all over and there's other forms too like deodorant wipes you got whole body deodorant cream up to 72 hours so if you're one of those stinky ass ████ you could wear this and that's me and don't worry that you're going to smell for 3 Days yep and you can put it in every crevice of your body from the armpit to the neck pit belly button ass pit yep everywhere yep and the Lumi starter pack right here is perfect for new customers very perfect comes with the solid Stick deodorant and the cream tube deodorant and two free products of your choice like the mini body wash or the deodorant wipes and they got free shipping that's the best part as a special offer for listeners new customers get $5 off a Lumi starter pack with the code OTR at lumid deodorant.com that equates to over 40%
11:52 off your Lumi starter pack when you visit lumid deodorant.com and use the code OTR I'm still going to argue with you on this this one you might have found one really good of course yeah I went to McDonald's in Beijing and it tastes the same I mean McDonald's that's it should right that's because McDonald's is his own country yeah kind of they're pretty good it's a it's an embassy technically I think I think one of the best burgers I had was in Philippines really but one thing I was impressed was uh this was back in 2020 during the pandemic I went to a McDonald's in Beijing and their employees are driving like subar to work and stuff you know it's like they get paid good yeah they're quite well paid you know that's pretty impressive you know that's pretty that is good to know I think my favorite
12:43 thing about here so I'm from Taiwan um or like my mother country I guess what I like about America is like the um the no preset like pipeline to Upward Mobility like taiwan's like very structured you have to do really good in elementary school to get into really good middle school to get into a really good high school to get into a good college and then that kind of like that whole pipeline is almost preset to get to where you want to be in life in America you can be like 50 Cent and shoot people go to jail and then come out and then within 5 years you're like a millionaire my mom was like America is like the land of many mistakes yeah like many chances yeah like if you have the will work ethic there's literally nothing Stopping You versus preset like it's almost like
13:35 you can draw your like if you have two points you can draw your own like shortest distance between two points it's true versus in Taiwan it's like it's preset how you need to arrive places and there's no innovation of how you arrive there um so that was my favorite thing about here I think my favorite thing about Taiwan versus here is um I think more more of a nostalgic thing where it feels really cozy like when I used to go visit my grandparents and it's like uh it's crazy cuz it'll be like a skysc scraper and then there's like a guy like ████ on the floor and it's like night market and the city is like this together everything is like there's like a stinky tofu cart and
14:25 then the the tallest building in the world at that time and then another guy that's like picking his toenails and then it's just like it's just like crazy all in one and then so it feel but then it doesn't feel like it clashes you know it's just all part of the culture the culture is you can work a crazy white collar job and then get street food and it's all like intermingled into one like it's cool to like you know versus like here like let's say if you worked at the US Bank building and you're some crazy white call a worker in Downtown LA more than likely you're not going to go to a Atlantic taco truck for lunch you're probably going to go eat at Mastro Steakhouse or you know or if you do it's almost like they're warning their buddies like dude we're going to go get some ████ tacos bro it's ████
15:16 dangerous like you know it's like there like they're almost about to enter a different world like they don't have that there it's just it's the same world it's the same thing you can roll up in a Mercedes and then eat a ████ chicken skewer and it's like normal yeah it doesn't look weird right it's like all part of the same I like the night market there me too my favorite thing about Philippines is that everybody no matter if they're like rich or poor most of them are going to be poor but everybody's primed to laugh oh yeah everybody has time JY huh like there's it's very rare that you'll find someone like snoody like uh they just want to have fun so like if you could talk to someone and and you can make random people laugh like instantly cuz everybody just just has the same I guess like openness to humor that's dope that's tight which is like very noticeable when you're out there cuz like you could find a lot of people that
16:08 don't seem like there's enough to be happy about but they are smiling and they're having a good time and you know never with that met an uptight Filipino that's true it's hard that's snobby I've never I've never seen it that's why they're so likable dude even if you go to like cuz like we went to like they're Jolly bees dude yeah you go to like bars like dive bars the people that are in there even though there's a distinct economic difference between them and the people at like an exclusive Club the vibe is still very similar oh wow like even though you know they're way richer like out here the vibe is like completely different you go to like a upscale club and a dive bar right but you can't talk to some people in some places some venues they just won't speak to you out there it's like they're down to laugh if you're if you're like down to laugh then so are they it's cool yeah
16:58 I I do like like that about it what about America over Philippines uh it's it's very similar to what you said I I really like that everybody has a shot even if it's not the same shot and it's not the fairest shot for everybody everyone has a shot if they can find the angle yeah that's really cool the angle's findable exactly like it exists you know like we like like herk he went to jail for bank rob he came out a millionaire like what the heck is that you know what I me that's almost unheard of in Asia you're tainted after you go you have any criminal record what what could be having somebody running for president from jail you know exactly yeah yeah yeah that's my favorite thing about America is it's the land of surprises and it's like the randomst craziest coolest thing can happen to you but also at the same time you could just get robbed and die like Tom Cruz is
17:49 notoriously dyslexic and he's the biggest like actor right in Asia it's like if you can't even read how are you going to get through acting a Academy or theater like you would just get washed out like there would be no unicorn stories whereas in America it's filled with unicorn stor we got a different set of PRX like it doesn't really apply in the same way and you can have wildly untalented people become the biggest stars everyone has a shot right you know you know what makes me go like America oh it's this side America right America you know what makes me do that is when I go to other countries even if it's Western they don't Pro promote entrepreneurialism and like creativity Innovation to the point where we do like we're very open and honest about success it's like very like we're like we're
18:42 proud of it like we share it we don't put each other down on it's like oh ████ you're opening up a gym that's ████ tight tell me about it right like yeah there is some haters or whatever but like the way that it's glorified versus other countries are more like oh let's keep it lowkey or like they even demonize people that are self starters or trying to build a sh yeah like they're more like what makes you so special like I feel like a lot of Asian countries and European countries are like that where it's like crabs in the bucket and it's like oh you're standing out too much and so people don't aspire to be Innovative and entrepreneurial more so like maybe Innovative in like the science field or something like research or whatever right but I almost feel like America there's no um negative weight to
19:36 Desiring wanting to build a business or do something entrepreneurial it's almost like oh good for you the the mentality is way different yeah cuz I feel like Japan and maybe even the UK they're more like um keep your head down do average ████ why why why do you think you're so special you could go beyond what other people are doing yeah what's the Vietnam thing for you um I'll give a I got like a super ficial one I got a little bit deeper one but like for example in Vietnam I just enjoy the fact that everybody could like ride like scooters and motorcycles and bike different places and that's just like the type of life where you want to get somewhere just convenience yeah like five people can get on a motorcycle that's not breaking the law you know what I mean you just got to get to where you got to get that's pretty cool yeah real whereas here you guys get LA
20:27 traffic whereas in America for example I honestly love the fact that we have sick movies and music like just the media and the art just the way that we do like media and art I just ████ love it and the way it influences the rest of the world you know what I mean um but on a deeper level in that weird contrasting dichotomy there's times where I love the fact that for America we have so much like so many different diverse peoples and everybody has so much like freedom but then it also becomes like a point of like complexity and difficulty in so many ways where sometimes you look at like another Nation that's like one people with like maybe even a communist government and they all have to abide by the rules and they all have to do a certain things or they can't do certain things but then that also becomes a point of like peace and and the way that
21:17 people work like cohesiveness yeah and things kind of make sense so it's like depending on what you're into or what is is convenient at that time things work out for you but then the same concept is like something that may be difficult for you in a different way you know what I mean we're we're minorities in America sometimes so there we have so much to learn from other cultures and we have this appreciation for different elements of the world even food but at the same time we'll face like racial you know discrimination and a reign of ████ like that whereas you go to your your mother country and you're just like all one people and every they you they don't have those problems but then maybe you don't have the same freedom of opportunity to like excel in in certain ways or what not Japanese people are so racist they'll kick my ass out and say I'm not Japanese enough they they tried to bring Brazilians back Brazilian Japanese full blood and
22:07 they're like this ain't working out go back to Brazil oh damn hundreds of thousands of them ████ Japanese people are racist bro so racist but I love going there cuz it's so fun it's so awesome maybe maybe the key to uh safety and peace is racism be more racist if I don't know you get out of here what's up Singaporean what do you say Singapore look that's not kind of not fair though Singapore is kind of a ████ Singapore is tough Nick is like what I love about Singapore is the caning and um the lack of gum on the streets and I like the catch and release program of La man like I've only been to Singapore as an adult like like one time right and it it was pretty quick but also say this
22:58 the convenience of the train station kind of like Joe I was like this is tight to be able to get but it's also such a small country Public Services out there is pretty fun but like my personal preference is just like the food scene I just and it's not like we can't get a crazy food scene out here but to me the food scene over there like all the Hawkers the outdoor stuff like to me I don't know I think it's more of just the culture side cuz it's like you can still get whatever you want like cuz Singapore is modern like it does kind of feel like California a lot of ways but it also doesn't but I think the the the food culture and just the The Nostalgia of how it reminds me of like my mom and my family that I don't get to see so it'll probably be more of those reasons uh and then America it's kind of like all what you guys think it's like I don't want to
23:48 be cliche but the freedom of being able to kind of do whatever you want in the the lane being in a whatever Lane that you want and creating your own lane is unlike anything else and I just feel like there is something special about it and anytime I go to any country I always come back saying like man we got it so good in the states so good like there is just nothing like it and when I hear people complain about it you just go like shut the ████ up do you start travel more do you do you start reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in front of them to silence them I should you should we should start doing I should just put my hand on my heart and ████ when they start talking ████ about America be like bro traveling more does make you really it it makes you appreciate what we got dude The Simple Pleasures of driving on a paved Road you I mean like we we got a
24:39 ████ pretty great system you know have you ever been to a country though where you're just like ████ I never thought I'd find a place better than America not yet not yet but there's aspects though right but you you're also in this mindset of like of course this feels great because you're on vacation like if you had really had to live here yeah when you picture yourself living there it's different like you're I think the lens changes completely of course yeah but that's true try to be try to be a a highend chicken stall in in in what is it Singapore yeah dude you try to be that guy you're like you're like this is good cuz you're the customer exactly and I paid $5 for it right you know like there's nothing like what we get out here imagine being the business owner of that highly competitive yeah making
25:29 sense every day sense that's what that's what I thought he said I thought they get subsidized now huh I thought they get government subsidies that's cool I don't know what that means bro turn the video off don't say big words to me [Laughter] dude
